"Tell me how Liu Pan defeated an army of tens of thousands with 10,000 people when he had no guarantee of food and grass, and how Zhang Xian was able to raise an army of 100,000 in an instant!"
Xu Shu opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't say anything.
Meng Jian was right, and his question was extremely tricky. What Xu Shu had been thinking about was how Liu Pan could win!
Unless Zhang Xian goes crazy and rushes over to kill him! Otherwise, there is absolutely no possibility of losing!
Even if Zhang Xian had been guarding Linxiang City, he could have watched Liu Pan's 10,000-strong army collapse due to lack of food.
"Hahaha, brother Gongwei, don't speak too absolutely. Things in the world are unpredictable, and military matters cannot be dealt with by common sense!"
Xiao Pang Tong stood up when Xu Shu was speechless and spoke out to refute.
Pang Tong was Pang Degong's disciple and had a natural advantage in status, so everyone would treat him with courtesy.
But today is the time to show off, and Meng Jian is also determined to compete with Pang Tong to see what this leader of Nanzhou scholars is capable of!
"What Junior Brother Pang said is absolutely true! But how difficult it is to defeat the many with the few, and how difficult it is to defeat the strong with the weak? It requires great wisdom and courage!"
Pang Tong shook his head and showed a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Brother Gongwei, don't underestimate the people of the world. Didn't General Liu Zhang once defeat Bocai's army of 150,000 men with a thousand men? Brother Gongwei, have you heard about the battle of Yangpingguan some time ago? Xiliang's army was 100,000 strong.
The army was wiped out! Isn’t it the same as using less to defeat more?”
Meng Jian was also amused by Pang Tong. He really didn't expect that Pang Tong would move out of Liu Zhang!
"Junior Brother Pang, are you joking? What kind of person is Liu Zhang? A hero in troubled times, a hero! Who is Liu Pan? The two are as different as clouds and mud, how can they be compared?"
"Liu Pan is quite brave, but at most he is a reckless man. Last year he followed Cai Mao to attack Yizhou, and was not captured alive by Xun You in the end?"
"A brave and foolhardy person like this can't say that he can defeat tens of thousands with ten thousand people. I'm afraid even if he is given an army of tens of thousands, it will be difficult for him to defeat the weak!"
It's not that Meng Jian looked down on Liu Pan, it was just that Liu Pan didn't have any impressive achievements. The most recent one was that he was captured alive.
In Meng Jian's view, if Liu Pan was really a wise and brave general, he should have dissuaded Liu Biao from sending troops to Jingnan to preserve his strength to fight against Cai Mao, Kuai Liang and others.
Pang Tong was scolded by Meng Jian, but he was not angry and still smiled.
"Brother Gongwei thinks that Liu Pan will definitely lose, but I just think that Zhang Xian loses. But why Zhang Xian lost, I don't know." Meng Jian couldn't help but have a look of contempt in his eyes. It seems that Pang Tong is nothing more than that, a little unworthy.
He is not worthy of the title of the leader of Nanzhou scholars.
"It doesn't matter, Junior Brother Pang might as well ask his mentor and see what the final result will be!"
Pang Degong did not directly tell the result of the Battle of Jingnan, but looked at Zhuge Liang.
"What do you think?"
Zhuge Liang's young face had a calmness far beyond that of his peers, coupled with his handsome face, it simply made Pang Tong on the side drool with envy.
"Teacher, if there are big changes in Jingnan, it will definitely overthrow the Jingzhou separatist regime, and the situation where one family is the dominant one will never return! If there is a real change, I'm afraid it will be on Wenpin!"
Zhuge Liang was just guessing. He agreed with Xu Shu's remarks, but Meng Jian also agreed with Liu Pan's reliance.
Regardless of the outcome of Jingnan, Zhuge Liang felt that it had nothing to do with Liu Pan.
Meng Jian did not treat Zhuge Liang like he refuted Xu Shu, but there was still disdain in his eyes.
Wenpin has almost no reputation in Jingzhou. He is just an ordinary young general. Is it possible that Liu Biao really has a discerning eye?
If Liu Biao really had this ability, how could he have gotten to where he is today?
"Teacher, please tell us the real situation!"
Pang Degong glanced at Zhuge Liang with a complicated expression, and then nodded lightly.
"Zhang Xian died, and Changsha was pacified by Liu Pan."
"What!"
Meng Jian's eyes widened and he stood up in shock.
"Zhang Xian is dead! How did he die?"
Meng Jian couldn't help but lose consciousness for a while. Thinking of his boastful talk just now, he felt ashamed and angry.
It turns out that the clown is himself!
"Zhang Xian gathered 50,000 troops in Linxiang and held a stalemate with Liu Pan for nearly two months. Liu Pan had no choice but to sit back and watch the food run out. He never thought that the ships on the riverside would mysteriously disappear and his retreat would be completely cut off!"
"Liu Pan's army was at the end of its rope and had no way out. The morale of the army was immediately in chaos! Zhang Xian seized the opportunity to go out of the city to cover up the attack, forcing Liu Pan into a desperate situation. Countless people jumped into the Yangtze River and drowned!"
The more Meng Jian listened, the more he didn't understand. It was obviously impossible to reverse the situation!
Even Zhang Xian won without having to do anything. He just stayed back and watched Liu Panjun keep jumping into the river!
"Is it possible that Liu Pan has a magic weapon that descends from heaven?"
No wonder Meng Jian thought so, he even thought Zhang Xian was struck to death by lightning!
Mr. Pang Degong lightly stroked his beard, smiled and shook his head.
"At this desperate moment, Wenpin imitated Han Xin and fought his last, leading hundreds of elite troops to break into Zhang Xian's army. Zhang Xian's position was too far forward, and he was caught off guard and was captured alive by Wenpin!"
"Liu Pan seized the opportunity and directly led his army to counterattack. The 50,000 Jingnan army was in chaos, and countless people died! Because Zhang Xian was captured, Linxiang surrendered, and the entire Changsha County was pacified."
If Liu Zhang were here, his expression would be even more exciting.
Zhang Xian not only rebelled several years in advance, but also died in battle several years in advance!
Once Zhang Xian died, Jingnan was like a plate of loose sand, no longer able to fight against Jiangbei.
Meng Jian couldn't help but look at Zhuge Liang on the side, but he didn't expect that he was right!
It turned out that Wenpin really played a huge role.
"I didn't expect that Wen Zhongye would be such a talented general. He not only saved Liu Pan, but also brought Liu Biao back to life on a chessboard that was destined to die!"
Zhang Xian's death was equivalent to handing over the four counties of Jingnan to Liu Biao, and Liu Pan would take advantage of the situation to capture the four counties.
Liu Biao has the four counties of Jingnan as foreign aid. Cai Mao and Kuai Liang, who only occupy Nanjun, can't act recklessly. The Jingzhou Prefectural Mufu is no longer decided by just one person from the family!
Zhuge Liang rarely takes the initiative to speak, but this time he expressed his views very actively.
"At present, the Jingzhou family controls Nanjun, Nanyang County, and Jiangxia County. It is still powerful. However, Liu Jingsheng is a clan member of the Han Dynasty after all, and he is the Jingzhou Shepherd personally appointed by the emperor. Unless he is in desperate situation, he will hardly openly resist."
"But from now on, Jingzhou may not be able to live in peace..."
The discord between Zhou Mu and the family will definitely lead to a series of fights, especially since Liu Biao has just gained power, and he may not tolerate Cai Mao and Kuai Liang.
It is conceivable that with the pacification of the four counties in Jingnan, the struggle between the two sides will become more and more obvious!
"Zhuge Liang, what do you think the ending will be?"
