Chapter 276: Pang Tong's Offer

One day later, Taishan led his army to Jiangxia and met with Yuan Panhe, who was guarding Jiangxia. www.biquge.info Yuan Pan is the nephew of Yuan Biao, so he regards Taishan as a junior, personally greets him, and takes Taishan to the government.

After Taishan and Yuan Pan exchanged pleasantries, they began to discuss the military situation of the rebels. Before Taishan's arrival, Yuan Pan had already fought with Zhang Xian and Chen Sun several times, and the two sides won and lost each other. Yuan Pan is in the Yuan clan in Jingzhou, it can be said that he is a talent with both civil and military skills, and even Yuan Pan is helpless to take Zhang and Chen, which shows that the two still have two brushes.

At that moment, Yuan Pan told Taishan in detail about the deployment of Zhang Xian and Chen Sun's troops. Now, the two gathered 50,000 people, occupying the two adjacent counties of Jiangxia, with the thickness of the city and the advantage of numbers, from time to time they would go out of the city to rob, making Yuan Pan a little anxious, and when Yuan Pan led a large army to rush over, the two had already collected their troops and returned to the city, and did not confront Yuan Pan head-on at all, only twice Yuan Pan predicted their movements, arranged the men and horses in advance, and fought two beautiful ambush battles, which can be regarded as rubbing their arrogance.

After listening to Yuan Pan's narration, Taishan's face was also full of worry. According to Yuan Pan's account, Zhang Xian and Chen Sun are typical guerrilla tactics, which can achieve the effect of avoiding the important and light, trying to avoid fighting with the main force of Jingzhou, and wear down Jiangxia's forces little by little, and wait until the consumption reaches a certain level, and then attack on all fronts and take Jiangxia in one fell swoop. If you want to get rid of this situation of being led by the enemy's nose, you can only concentrate your forces and launch a tough battle. Completely wiped out the forces of Zhang and Chen. However, Yuan Pan also said just now that the two gathered 50,000 people to occupy two adjacent county seats, and if 25,000 people in each county town were calculated, according to the regular ratio that the number of people besieging the city must be three times the number of people defending the city, then the manpower needed to attack the city would be at least 70,000. But now Taishan and Yuanpan's men and horses combined, there are only 70,000, and at most they can only storm one county town, if in the process of storming, another adjacent county town sends reinforcements. Then the outcome is unpredictable.

Taishan took the initiative to invite Ying to come this time. In his heart, he has his own little abacus, where there is war, it must be profitable, Taishan wants to incorporate this rebel army. Take the opportunity to expand your strengths. Moreover, in front of the metasurface. Tarzan behaved calmly and calmly. It seems that Zhang and Chen don't look at it at all, so in this battle, Taishan not only has to win. It is also necessary to win the beauty and increase the weight of oneself in the heart of the meta table, so that there will be greater benefits to be gained in the future. Based on these two reasons, it is obviously not advisable to attack the fortified position, and we can only find other ways to break the enemy.

That night, Tarzan stood alone in the camp, looking at the stars in the sky a little lonely, thinking about how to defeat the enemy. A sound of shredded footsteps sounded behind Tarzan, and Tarzan turned his head to see Pang Tong's ugly face appear in front of his eyes. Seeing Pang Tong's face in the middle of the night, most people will be startled, but Taishan is not unusual, although he doesn't like Pang Tong's face very much in his heart, but Taishan knows that Pang Tong is a really talented person, and some subtle dislikes are automatically ignored by Taishan.

When Pang Tong walked in front of him, Taishan smiled and said, "It's dark at night, hasn't the military advisor rested yet?" The wind in Jiangxia is cold, beware of catching a cold." Pang Tong was warmed by Taishan's simple words, which strengthened his idea of allegiance to Taishan, thinking that a benevolent lord like Taishan could not be found with a lantern. As for Yuan Qi, who was admired by Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong had only met once after all, and he was far from understanding, so naturally he couldn't compare with Mount Tai in front of him.

In fact, Pang Tong is not a fool, if he is a fool, then there are few normal people in this world, some of Taishan's practices, Pang Tong also saw through his pretentiousness, but Pang Tong believes that this is one of the qualities that a leader must have. In addition, Pang Tong is knowledgeable, sharp thinking, has long seen that after the death of Yuan Biao, Jingzhou is bound to produce turmoil, in that case will affect Pang Tong's family, for the sake of family considerations, Pang Tong is also forced by the situation, so he had to agree to go out of the mountain to assist Mount Tai, in fact, Pang Tong and Mount Tai met, from beginning to end Pang Tong can be arranged, or Pang Tong's uncle Pang Degong arranged, the purpose is to take advantage of the time when Taishan's power has not yet formed, occupy a place in the Taishan Group, and then gradually assist Mount Tai to occupy Jingzhou, so as to not only keep Jingzhou, avoid the turmoil that may occur after the death of Yuan Biao, but also keep his own family。

However, at this moment, Pang Tong was really a little moved by Mount Tai, and replied with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord, Tong grew up in Xiangyang since he was a child, and he has already adapted to this cold river breeze." As soon as the conversation changed, Pang Tong suddenly asked, "The lord is worried about Zhang Xian and Chen Sun?"

After Pang Tong's inquiry, Taishan suddenly reacted, he is no longer his former self, but now he has a phoenix chick by his side, he doesn't have to think about everything by himself like before, he doesn't need to put such a big phoenix chick, isn't that a tyrannical thing? Taishan forgot the existence of Pang Tong because he was not suitable for a while.

Xise climbed on Taishan's face, since Pang Tong came to look for himself late at night, he must have been in his chest, this is something that Taishan is very happy to see. Reaching out to grab Pang Tong's arm, Taishan patted his head with his other hand, and said with a smile: "Shiyuan already has a strategy to break the enemy?"

Feeling the trust and respect of Mount Tai, Pang Tong smiled: "Lord, since ancient times, people have relied on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water, and put the turbulent river around them, why don't the lords take advantage of it?"

"How to use the river?" asked Tarzan suspiciously.

Pang Tong took out a map from his sleeve, spread it out in front of Mount Tai, pointed to the two county towns controlled by Zhang Wu and Chen Sun, and said: "The terrain of these two counties is flat, probably because Zhang and Chen felt that it was beneficial for them to carry out guerrilla tactics, so they deliberately chose these two cities as base areas. But it also gave us the opportunity to order the soldiers to dig dikes and divert water from the tributaries of the great river, and to irrigate the two county towns, so that the enemy army would be defeated without a fight. ”

Taishan thought for a moment, slowly shook his head and said, "It's not appropriate." Diverting water to irrigate the city will inevitably cause the people in the city to suffer unwarranted disasters, how can they be brutalized because of the success or failure of the moment?" Although Taishan wanted to win Zhang Xian and Chen Sun beautifully, he attached more importance to the name and honor. Taishan knows that his own soldiers are not more than 10,000, will not pass, Zhang, Chen to a few people, the strategists are only Pang Tong and Mi Zhu can be up to the task, and so far there is no foothold of their own territory, the only reliance, is a good reputation, this is Taishan's magic weapon, is the only weapon for him to turn over, if the reputation stinks, then he will never turn over. As for whether it is really for the sake of the people in the city to reject Pang Tong's plan, as he just said, only God knows.

Taishan's acting talent is really good, no matter what he thinks in his heart, but the words he says always have a strong sense of benevolence and morality, even Pang Tong did not feel the slightest abnormality, thinking that Taishan was indeed thinking about the people in the city. Haha, Pang Tong smiled: "The lord is really a merciful lord." But Tong didn't say that he wanted to bring the river into the city, he only said that he would lead the river to the two cities. ”

Tarzan asked suspiciously, "What's the difference?"

Pang Tong explained: "Lord, it's July, Jiangxia has just had a heavy rain, the water is rising and not retreating, the lord only needs to measure the water level, and use the river water to flood the way in and out of the two cities, so that the city will be cut off from food, there is no need to flood the two cities into lakes." This will cause panic among the rebels in the city, and after a few days, as the water level recedes, the rebels will inevitably desperately leave the city and find another way out, at which point the lord will be able to dispatch his troops and calmly defeat them. ”

Listening to Pang Tong's narration, Taishan reacted that Pang Tong's so-called diversion of water to irrigate the city was just to cut off the rebels' advance and retreat and grain routes. This is a good note, not only to save Tarzan's reputation, but also to force the rebels in the city to come out of the way.

Stretching out his hand to the map, Pang Tong continued: "When the rebels in the city go out of the city, they will definitely divide their troops, and Zhang Xian and Chen Sun will each lead an army to break through the siege respectively. At that time, the two of them have heavy troops in front of them, and there is no way to retreat, and the hunger caused by the siege of the city by the river for several days will break the army's heart, so why is it difficult to break it?"

After listening to Pang Tong's overall plan, Taishan excitedly clenched Pang Tong's hand, pointed to the bright stars in the night sky and said: "Shi Yuan is really the star king of the sky, and he has unpredictable wisdom." If you can get the assistance of Shiyuan, why can't you make a contribution?!"
