Pang Tong was obviously taken aback by Cao Cao's words. At this moment, he heard Cao Cao say: "Shiyuan is a rare talent. It would be a pity to die. But I am afraid that I will wrong Shiyuan in our Cao army."
If we live in the camp for a while longer, our army will defeat the Sun-Liu coalition and we will let Shi Yuan leave."
Cao Cao's expression was so sincere that Pang Tong had no choice but to believe it. At the banquet just now, he had shown no mercy to Cao Cao. Now that he knew such important news about Cao Cao's army. Knowing Cao Jun's plan, he became
He was a huge threat to Cao Jun, but even so, Cao Cao still did not choose to kill himself. Although imprisoning himself for a period of time was very helpless, it was better than death. Pang Tong was not afraid of death, but he did not want to die so unwillingly.
.
He has not yet served as an official, and he has never done any great feats. Although he has a little reputation in Jingxiang, his reputation is nothing in the whole Han Dynasty. He has learned a lot in vain and left the personnel like this. No matter what, Pang Tong
They won’t give in. But so what if they are unwilling. If Cao Jun can really defeat the Sun and Liu coalition forces in one battle, then is there any lord in the world who can assist him? Now in the world, only the Sun and Liu coalition forces can fight against Cao Jun.
.
After Cao Jun defeats the coalition forces of Sun and Liu, Cao Jun will take advantage of the situation to capture Jiangdong and the entire Jingzhou. If this is true, Cao Jun's strength will naturally increase greatly. Cao Jun alone occupies two-thirds of the entire Han Dynasty and wants to capture it.
The remaining one-third will obviously be an easy task and will not take much time at all. After all, Liu Zhang in Shu is not as good as Liu Biao. Although the terrain in Shu is easy to defend and difficult to attack, with Liu Zhang's ability, he can persist
How much time?
Pang Tong naturally did not want Cao Jun's strategy to be implemented. After all, Cao Jun had already defeated the Sun and Liu coalition at this moment. But what could he do? Knowing that Cao Jun had such an important strategy, Cao Jun would definitely keep a close eye on him.
It was obviously impossible to escape from Cao Jun's custody due to his own situation.
Now, Pang Tong can only make appointments. After all, he is a fish and Cao Jun is a soldier. He has plunged into the huge trap set by Cao Jun for the Sun and Liu coalition. It is obviously impossible to escape intact at this moment.
. Now I can only wait for the decisive battle between Cao Jun and Sun Liu's coalition forces before I can leave Cao Jun's camp.
Although Pang Tong had accepted his fate, he still could not lose his integrity. After sorting out his mood, Pang Tong said in a deep voice: "I have already put my life and death aside, but I didn't expect that the prime minister actually wanted to keep another one. As the saying goes, ants still live in vain.
And I am just a commoner, and I have to thank the Prime Minister for being able to live. However, although the Prime Minister spared my life, if I want to serve as an official with the Prime Minister, I am afraid that I will be disappointed, and I will still refuse!"
Pang Tong's words obviously made Cao Cao very angry. This Pang Tong is really ignorant of current affairs. But since he has promised not to kill Pang Tong, Cao Cao will naturally not make a mistake. Just a Pang Tong does not have much impact on his hegemony. As long as he can
After defeating the Sun-Liu coalition, is there anyone in the world who can rival him?
"Here comes someone!" Cao Cao shouted in a deep voice. After a moment, several soldiers from Cao's army walked in. They came to Cao Cao and clasped their fists in salute. Then Cao Cao said, "Bring Mr. Shi Yuan down and entertain him well. Remember not to neglect Mr.
"After speaking, Cao Cao waved his hand. It was obvious that he was not in a very good mood.
Pang Tong turned around and walked away, and then Guo Jia walked into Cao Cao's tent. Seeing that Cao Cao didn't look very good, Guo Jia immediately guessed that the recruitment matter had obviously suffered another setback. Guo Jia shook his head helplessly,
Pang Tong was indeed very stubborn. Even though his lord confided in him, he still had no intention of surrendering to Cao Cao.
However, Guo Jia had somewhat guessed what Pang Tong was thinking. As the saying goes, it’s better to be a leader than to be a phoenix. Now Cao Jun is full of talents. In addition to his brother Zhao Fei, Jia Xu, Xun Yu, Xun You and others also perform their respective duties and show their talents.
Director. It can be said that these Cao Jun counselors are already deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is really difficult to surpass them.
And this Pang Tong is a talented and learned person, so these people naturally hope to achieve something. To join Cao Cao, under the light of Zhao Fei, Xun Yu and others, it is obviously very difficult for Pang Tong to show his talents to the world.
.And if you can use your small skills to make a big difference, then you will definitely be known to everyone in the world.
To be honest, every educated person hopes to show his talents. However, this is not something that can be achieved by doing it. Of course, there are still a few people like Pang Tong, because such people are
They are people who are very proud of their own talents and learning. Only such people will have the idea of rather being the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.
However, Pang Tong is indeed quite talented. If nothing else, his plan of connecting the ships with iron cables is obviously a clever plan. For Cao Jun, the iron cables with ships can solve the problem of Cao Jun's officers and men not used to the rocking of warships. But for Sun Liu
For the coalition forces, the iron cable ship can enable Zhou Yu's strategy to be implemented better.
If Pang Tong is willing to surrender to Cao Jun, it will definitely be a blessing for Cao Jun. However, Pang Tong is so stubborn, which makes Guo Jia helplessly shake his head. But these are obviously not what he should think about, after all, regarding this matter
, Cao Cao already had ideas and countermeasures, and everything would be discussed after the Battle of Chibi.
Nowadays, my brother's body is still very weak and he can only lie on the bed every day. Although he has ginseng soup to nourish his body every day, these things have no effect. For a long time, Zhao Fei's body has been extremely weak.
Getting out of bed is what Guo Jia is most worried about. Guo Jia really doesn't know what to do with his brother like this. It's good and bad, and looking at Zhao Fei's terminally ill appearance makes Guo Jia worried all the time, but he still hasn't
Know how to resolve the matter.
Without his brother, all the burdens of Cao Jun fell on him, and the pressure was quite heavy. Fortunately, although Zhao Fei was seriously ill, he was still able to take care of the overall situation. Apart from anything else, just strategizing to deal with Zhou Yu,
It's not something that ordinary people can compare to. His brother was lying on the bed, and he could still turn around Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang and others. I didn't think so in the past, but Guo Jia obviously had to admire Zhao Fei's thoughts in the battle of Chibi.
Zhao Fei guessed everything accurately. His elder brother said that Zhou Yu would send someone to design the iron cable ship, and sure enough, someone came. And his elder brother said that the person who came was Pang Tong, and as expected, the person who came was really Pang Tong. Moreover, Zhao Fei said
Pang Tong would not surrender to Cao's army, and Pang Tong would rather die than surrender to Cao's army.
"Fengxiao, how are the arrangements for Pang Tong going?" Cao Cao asked in a deep voice. Cao Jun's trap was in full swing, and Cao Cao didn't want any accidents to happen at this time. The reason why Cao Jun arrested Pang Tong blatantly was because
I want to put on a show for Zhou Yu.
The reason for doing this is because of the problem mentioned before. If something goes too smoothly, it will often make people suspicious. Now that I have captured Pang Tong, it proves that I have doubts about the iron chain and the ship, and then ordered
The man quietly made the iron rope, and then spread the news to Zhou Yu's ears. It was very difficult for Zhou Yu not to be fooled.
It is undeniable that there must be Jiangdong's spies among Cao's army. After all, there are hundreds of thousands of troops in Cao's camp. With so many people, no one would be able to detect the dozens of spies mixed in. And when Cao Cao just captured Pang Tong, Cao Cao
He was surrounded by trusted soldiers, and it was obviously impossible for Cao Jun's Xizuo to sneak in. So Cao Jun's Xizuo could only watch from a distance, but could not hear what Cao Cao and Pang Tong said.
When Pang Tong was captured, Zhou Yu was bound to be a little worried. Although Pang Tong was not from Soochow, the strategy proposed by Pang Tong was related to the decisive battle of Chibi. If Pang Tong's strategy failed, Zhou Yu was bound to worry about whether it would affect the Sun-Liu coalition.
A turbulent mind will lead to chaos when planning a big plan, and if it is chaotic, it is easy to make mistakes.
As expected, the news that Pang Tong was captured by Cao Cao soon reached Zhou Yu's ears. Hearing the news, Zhou Yu immediately frowned. It can be said that Pang Tong's suggestion is the most critical link in whether Cao Cao can burn Chibi. If Cao Jun hadn't
If the ship is connected to the iron chain, it is obviously not a problem to deal with the surprise attack of the fire ship.
Zhuge Liang is also very anxious. Zhuge Liang still trusts Pang Tong. His ability is not inferior to his own, so Zhuge Liang has never worried about what problems Pang Tong will have. But everything that happens now makes Zhuge Liang feel
Shocked, Pang Tong was captured by Cao Cao.
Several days passed, and the Sun-Liu coalition did not hear any news about Pang Tong. The news of losing Pang Tong made Zhou Yu a little overwhelmed. He obviously didn't know whether Pang Tong's plan was successful. He also didn't know whether Huo Tong was successful.
Should the offensive plan continue?
Pang Tong was also anxious. After all, Zhuge Liang had a good personal relationship with Pang Tong, so he was obviously more worried about Pang Tong's comfort. Fortunately, Cao Jun put Pang Tong under house arrest and did not intend to kill Pang Tong. However, Xizuo only knew that Cao Jun had placed Pang Tong under house arrest.
Pang Tong, he doesn’t know anything else.
Cao Jun guarded Pang Tong very tightly. The three floors inside and outside were all Cao Army soldiers. It was obviously impossible for Xi Zuo to get close.
Just when Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang were anxious, Zhou Yu suddenly received important news from Xizuo. Although Cao Jun had Pang Tong under house arrest, he was secretly building an iron chain. Although this matter was secretive, the iron chain that Cao Jun wanted to build was real.
There were too many, so it was still circulated.
Hearing the news, Zhou Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Obviously, Cao Jun finally fell into the trap. At this moment, Zhou Yu thought to himself that the reason why Cao Cao captured Pang Tong was obviously for his own sake. Playing hard to get, he obviously wanted to do it.
However, Cao Cao obviously didn't expect that he would show his weakness in the end. How many warships did Cao Jun have? How many iron ropes were needed to connect these warships? To build so many iron ropes, Cao Cao Jun also
