Chapter 285: Pang Tong Makes Suggestions

"180,000 troops in the south and 330,000 troops in the north, a total of 510,000 troops. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Taishan sat in the lobby of the Xinye County Government, looked at the battle report in front of him, and pondered with great meaning.

Pang Tong, who was sitting next to Taishan, looked at Taishan with a smile on his face, and said with a light smile: "Lord, our opportunity has come." Taishan smiled: "Muddy water is good to fish, the current water is not muddy enough, can the military advisor have any good strategies to make this pool of water more muddy?"

Pang Tong's eyes rolled slightly, and then he said confidently: "Don't worry, the lord has already arranged, this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Jingzhou, at least one state will be the lord's." I just don't know which state the lord wants to take as a foundation?"

Taishan said with surprise on his face, and said with some excitement: "Is this really true, can you really take one of these three states?" Pang Tong smiled: "Don't worry, my lord, please answer the question of the unification first, and arrange the next move." ”

Taishan spread his hands, so he said in embarrassment: "It stands to reason that Jingzhou should be taken as the foundation, Jingzhou has the danger of the big river, the solid of the three rivers, and it is a good place to settle down, but Jingzhou is the foundation of Brother Jingsheng, if you take Jingzhou, I am afraid it will make the world laugh." ”

Pang Tong said with a smile: "As long as the lord wants Jingzhou, Tong naturally has a way to resolve those rumors." ”

Taishan was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly stood up and bowed to Pang Tong: "If this is the case, there will be a labor division." ”

Pang Tong smiled and waved his hand. Immediately promoted the account with Taishan, and arranged his prior plan one by one. In Pang Tong's plan, he wanted to use the strategy of attacking the east and the west, first let Guan Weitong lead 5,000 cavalry, and rushed to the junction of Yan, Henan and Jingzhou in the starry night. Be sure to win a few battles beautifully. Kill some more of Xiahou Yuan's subordinates, so that all the people of Jingzhou think that the main force of Mount Tai has rushed to the front line of the battlefield to reduce their vigilance against Mount Tai.

After sending out Guan Wei. Pang Tong instructed Sun Qian and Jian Yong to spread rumors in various counties of Jingzhou. Let's just say that the metameter has not long been dead. It is hoped that the second son Yuan Cong will be the son of the family and rule Jingzhou after Yuan Biao's death. Abolishing Chang Liyu has been the way to take trouble since ancient times, and Pang Tong believes that it is provoked by this rumor. Many upright people in Jingzhou will stand up against Yuan Cong being made the prince, and Jingzhou will be in civil strife, and the opportunity for Taishan will come. In order to protect the reputation that Taishan had accumulated for a long time, Pang Tong planned to take advantage of the civil strife in Jingzhou to let Taishan support Yuan Biao's eldest son Yuan Qi, take the opportunity to hold the power of Jingzhou into his own hands, and let Yuan Qi be a puppet on the surface.

At the same time, Pang Tong asked Mi Zhu to secretly rush to Jiangxia to meet with Yuan Qi and Yuan Pan stationed there, and persuaded Yuan Qi, Yuan Pan and Taishan soldiers to use troops in Xiangyang from both directions on the grounds of eradicating the Cai clan, taking the opportunity to eliminate the deep-rooted Cai family.

In addition, Yuan Feng and Chen Zhi each led an army to secretly lurk outside Xinye City, waiting for Pang Tong's order, these two armies, advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended, is the most important link in all links, so Pang Tong did not let the fierce general Zhang Wu lead the troops, but let Taishan's righteous son Yuan Feng lead one of the soldiers and horses. Although Yuan Feng was not as brave as Zhang Wu, he was much calmer than Zhang Wu in terms of fighting with the group when carrying out orders.

As for Zhang Wu, Pang Tong had other arrangements for him. Around Mount Tai, the most famous is Guan Wei, Zhang Wu and the two, if there are no special circumstances, these two people will not leave Mount Tai's side, now Guan Wei is ordered to go north, Zhang Wu will definitely stay by Mount Tai's side, play a role in protecting Mount Tai, if those Jingzhou in Xinye City, can not see Zhang Wu's roaring figure, it will inevitably arouse their suspicion, so Zhang Wu in the protection of Mount Tai at the same time, can also play a role in confusing the enemy, in addition, the three thousand cavalry in Zhang Wu's hands, is also the killer weapon of Pang Tong's arrangement, the skeleton of this cavalry is the Yan Zhao cavalry, that is, the subordinates of Yuan Qi before, the training degree is quite elite, Pang Tong is ready to use the most unexpected way at the most critical moment, send this cavalry to smash the Yellow Dragon, and solve all the problems in one battle.

After the arrangements were made, everyone under Taishan's command took orders to leave, Taishan looked at Pang Tong with some concern, and asked in a low voice: "Military advisor, Brother Jingsheng is in good health, once Yuan Qi and Yuan Pan led their troops to Xiangyang after receiving the news of Brother Jingsheng's return to heaven, but saw that Brother Jingsheng was safe and sound, then how should we deal with ourselves?"

Pang Tong said with a smile: "Don't worry, the Cai family will not let go of such an opportunity, they will definitely use the rebellion as an excuse to crusade against Yuan Qi and Yuan Pan, at that time, the two tigers will fight each other and there will be an injury, whether Yuan Qi is killed in battle, or Yuan Cong is killed, Yuan Biao's heart will not feel good, and the mental trance is light, when the lord uses a little means, what is the difficulty of wanting to take all of Jingzhou?"

"Wonderful! Wonderful! The military advisor is really a god and a man, and he has unpredictable wisdom!" Taishan suddenly realized until this moment, and couldn't help but extend a thumbs up to Pang Tong. After so many years of displacement, everywhere is under the fence, such days, Taishan has long been enough, the desire for turf, so that Taishan is a little hysterical, Pang Tong this serial plan, the two sons of the Yuan table are used as bait, Taishan who has always flaunted benevolence and morality can not care about the opposition, as long as it can get Jingzhou as a foundation, the rest, Taishan no longer cares.

Back to the north. Outside Hejian City, Gao Ran and Yuan Xi had already settled down in the camp, standing side by side, looking at Hejian City more than ten miles away. On the walls of Hejian City, there were ten huge objects, covered with red cloth on the outside, and they couldn't tell what they were at all, but the flags planted on the city walls, the two of them could see them clearly.

There are two large flags planted on the city wall, the big flag on the left reads: Champion Hou, Hussar General, Governor Yuan of the Northern Capital, and the big flag on the right reads: Champion General Zhao. These two flags were like two sharp daggers, bringing bursts of sting pain to Gao Ran and Yuan Xi's hearts. Because these two flags represent that Hejian County is already the territory of Yuanqi, and the tentacles of Yuanqi have officially extended into the territory of Jizhou!

Yuan Xi's eyes shot a resentful gaze, staring coldly at the two big flags on the city wall, and his tone was full of resentment: "General Gao, give the order to attack the city! While the Yuan Qi army has not yet arrived, we must recapture the river!" The personal feud between Yuan Xi and Yuan Qi is only half of Yuan Xi's hatred, and the other half, Yuan Xi doesn't want Jizhou, which belongs to him in the future, to fall into Yuan Qi's hands. In Yuan Xi's view, among the four brothers, only he is the most capable of taking over Jizhou, so he regards Jizhou as his future foundation, and naturally he can't tolerate Yuan Qi's hegemony.

Gao Ran's heart was also angry, but after all, Gao Ran was a famous general in Hebei, and he still had the calmness he should have, so he hurriedly comforted: "Second son, the defenders of Hejian City have not escaped a single person, our army does not have enough information, and now we can't figure out the combat effectiveness and staffing of the Youzhou army, and we are afraid that it is not appropriate to attack the city rashly?"

Yuan Xi pursed his lips to the city wall with disdain, and said contemptuously: "Don't you see that there are two big flags planted on the city wall? This shows that the main force of Yuan Qi has not yet arrived, and only Zhao Hu is stationed alone in the city, even if Zhao Hu is brave, can he stop the 30,000 vanguard army of our army? Don't hesitate, immediately order, after a few days of delay, when Yuan Qi's army comes, we will have no chance." ”

Under Yuan Xi's repeated persuasion, Gao Ran no longer hesitated, and immediately issued an order to prepare for the siege. In Gao Ran's view, it is a good move to take advantage of the gap before the arrival of the main force of the Youzhou Army to recapture Hejian in his hands, which can not only show his ability to lead troops, but also allow Yuan Jun to firmly grasp the initiative in future battles. You must know that defending the city and forcibly attacking the city, the soldiers required and the battle damage after the battle, it is not a heavyweight.

After a stick of incense, the vanguard of the 30,000 Yuan army had been assembled, Gao Ran and Yuan Xi were wearing armor and holding spears, riding horses at the forefront of the battle array, behind them, there were 10,000 brightly armored cavalry, and on both sides were a mixed formation of 10,000 pikemen and sword and axe hands.

Slowly exhaling a breath of turbidity, Yuan Xi directly snatched Gao Lan's command, raised his spear and pointed at Hejian City, and shouted: "Siege!"

Under Yuan Xi's order, the battle formation of the Yuan army began to turn, and the infantry troops on both wings moved their steps, lined up in four phalanxes, and advanced towards Hejian City. The phalanx at the forefront was a sword and axe hand holding a large shield, and under the cover of the big shield, thousands of Yuan troops carried the ladder, The second echelon is composed of 5,000 pure sword and axe men, and after the first echelon of people erect the ladder on the city wall, they will rush up the ladder and climb to the top of the city; the third echelon is 5,000 pikemen, whose task is to follow behind the second echelon, responsible for protecting the ladder from damage by the Youzhou army, and if necessary, they will also join the climbing ranks; the last phalanx is 5,000 crossbowmen, who stay behind, responsible for scattering to the city, suppressing the firepower of the Youzhou army, and creating opportunities for the friendly forces in front。
