"Hahaha." Pang Tong laughed loudly: "Liu Zhang is violent, hypocritical, and sinister. God wants to punish Liu Zhang and help Kong Ming win. Tong does not dare to take credit.
There is a severe drought in Jingyi, and Liu Zhang is already low on military supplies. As long as we delay for two months, Liu Zhang will definitely be defeated. God bless the Liang army."
Zhuge Liang nodded: "Shi Yuan, now our army has a sure chance of victory, but Liu Zhang is cunning, and Sichuan army counselor Huang Yueying is even more cunning. We must not be careless at all. In addition to strictly guarding all mountain passes, the most important thing is that our army's food and grass should not be let to the Sichuan army."
Grabbed it.
Liangzhou is barren and Yongzhou is in ruins. Our army's grain and grass garrison is at Nanshan Pass. It is the lifeblood of our army. We must have good hands. Shi Yuan, you come to help me. Why not let Shi Yuan guard this big grain and grass camp? It will be bright and peaceful.
"
Pang Tong bowed to Zhuge Liang and said: "Kong Ming has indeed not forgotten his childhood feelings. When Pang Tong came, he entrusted him with important tasks. Pang Tong was grateful. However, Kong Ming had this heart. It was enough. Pang Tong had already been careless once in the battle with Han Sui and suffered the consequences."
The injury was serious, and the wound still hurts from time to time.
Once an attack occurs, you will be unable to do anything and the pain will be excruciating. How can you take on such an important responsibility as guarding food and grass? Kong Ming should send someone else."
"Sigh." Zhuge Liang sighed and thought for a while: "Shi Yuan is not willing to help me, so I can only let the three generals guard the grain and grass camp."
"No way." Pang Tongyi stood up at once, touching the tender muscles that were healing from burns, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "Although the three generals are brave, they are brave and foolhardy. They also like to get drunk, and they also like to beat and scold the sergeants. How can they serve as food and grass?"
Pang Tong feels that since the camp is so important, it is better to send General Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun is very thoughtful and will be able to protect the food and grass without any worries."
"Zilong wants to arrange the defense at the mountain pass, and there is no one who is careful. I don't worry. Although General Zhang is reckless, he is rough and fine. I think it can be done."
…………
After Pang Tong went out, Zhuge Liang sighed, and Ah San stepped forward and said, "Jing Yi suffered a great disaster. Why are you unhappy, sir?"
"My lord was defeated at Jieting and was angry." Zhuge Liang held the letter in his hand with a look of loneliness on his face.
"But the letter is obviously filled with words of relief."
"The more this happens, the more it means that my lord is worried about the defeat. Alas, this is not my fault. It's my incompetence. Zhuge Liang's conceited talent and learning are in vain. In the three battles at Jingshui Street Pavilion on the Wei River, more than 200,000 troops were lost. This
It was an irreparable damage to Yongliang."
"But those are all..."
Zhuge Liang waved his hand: "That's all, everyone has to look forward. Since we were defeated before, we will learn from the mistakes and learn from them in the future. Although we suffered heavy losses this time, as long as we defeat the Sichuan army and form an alliance with Liu Zhang,
Guard Hangu Pass and Qingni Pass. We can slowly restore people's livelihood.
As long as Pang Tong and I work together to divert Cao Cao's troubles southward, we will surely rise again, but..."
Zhuge Liang sighed heavily as he spoke and looked outside the tent: "I really can't figure out what Pang Shiyuan is thinking right now.
I remember that in the past, Shi Yuan and I, as well as Xu Yuanzhi, Yueying, and Cui Zhouping, drank tea together and talked about the world. Pang Shiyuan was the most impassioned and always strived to be the first. If he disagreed with us, he had to debate until we agreed with his point of view.
, it is evident that he is competitive and competitive.
But now, Shi Yuan seems not to care about anything. He doesn't even want to get the status he deserves and the stage to show his talents. He doesn't even want to call him lord, and he is too low-key in everything. He is completely different from the impassioned and arrogant Pang Tong.
.
I don’t recognize Pang Shiyuan at all. Sometimes I even wonder if Shiyuan has ulterior motives. But I have tested him many times and it seems that Shiyuan is just heartbroken. Just like today when I asked him to guard the grain and grass camp, he
I politely declined, but I recommended Zhang Fei, but he had reasonable objections, which I really couldn't figure out."
"Maybe Mr. Shiyuan just wants to avoid it because he has the military power."
"The Pang Tong of the past was definitely not such a person. What's more, over the years, I have given up power to Pang Tong a few times. But which time did he accept it? Alas."
Zhuge Liang sighed heavily: "I, Zhuge Liang, have always wanted to find a lord who would entrust me with military and political affairs and trust me completely. I will work hard to accomplish great things for this lord.
But now is the time when Yongliang is in danger, and it is difficult for me to shoulder this heavy burden alone. Only Shiyuan and I can work together to make the lord rise quickly.
How could the scholar who once talked and laughed and looked down on the world like this? It is really a great loss to our Lord."
…………
When Pang Tong returned to the camp, Jiang Yin stepped forward and said, "My subordinates know that the reason why you refused the responsibility of garrisoning the grain and grass camp is because you are afraid of Zhuge Liang's suspicion. Even if you take the position, Zhuge Liang will be able to detect any action.
But why did Zhuge Liang appoint Zhang Fei, a reckless man, to guard the camp? Could it be that Zhuge Liang couldn't see that Zhang Fei was useless except for charging into the battle? Why did he advise me? I think Zhang Fei had to guard the camp, so the food and grass would be lost.
"
"Everyone knows that Zhang Fei is reckless. If I don't persuade him, will Zhuge Liang not be suspicious?"
Pang Tong smiled, stood up and said, "Jiang Yin, you are too young in front of Zhuge Liang.
Nowadays, the Liang army has 70,000 soldiers and the Sichuan army has 150,000 soldiers who are guarding it at great risk. What do we lack most?"
"troops?"
"Nonsense."
"Morale." Pang Tong said: "Zhuge Liang made a surprise attack on Chang'an, entered Shicheng, conquered Guanzhong, and occupied Xiliang. He won many battles and predicted events like a god. He has penetrated into the hearts of Liang soldiers and has long been praised by the soldiers.
Now that the Wei River was defeated and Jieting was defeated, Zhuge Liang, who was regarded as a god in the hearts of Liang soldiers, lost more than 200,000 troops. What a ridiculous joke. Zhuge Liang's prestige was seriously weakened.
The decisive battle between the Sichuan Army and the Liang Army saw blood again and again. The killings were too heavy, more than 200,000 people were killed, and it was not just people, but also the sorrow of being hurt by things. So many people died, including former friends and former friends.
My fellow countrymen, my former father and son, and my former father and son brothers all died in battle.
What do the soldiers think? Do you think the current strength of the Liang Army is still the same as before? The Sichuan Army is so powerful, and Huang Yueying is even more famous in the world. Since she came out of the mountain, she has never been defeated in the Battle of Fancheng, the Battle of Jiangling, and the Battle of Nanman.
This time, Zhuge Liang was knocked back to his original form as soon as he took action.
The massacre-like pursuit from Jieting to Qinchuan frightened many Liang Army soldiers. Now when Huang Yueying's name is mentioned, they all have faces of fear.
Under such circumstances, the most important thing is to restore the confidence of Liang Jun. We must defend, but we must also win a victory to tell Liang Jun that Huang Yueying can also be defeated."
"Victory? Does it have anything to do with Zhang Fei's defense of food and grass? This can only lead to defeat."
Pang Tong shook his head, "You won't understand. Zhuge Liang used tricks to hide his traces, and Zhang Fei was reckless. Everyone knew it. How could the Sichuan army not know about it? Knowing that Zhang Fei was guarding the grain camp and the Sichuan army was short of food, what would the Sichuan army do?
Sample?"
"Stealing food?"
"Do you think Zhuge Liang didn't arrange it?"
Jiang Yin took a breath and realized how terrifying people like Zhuge Liang were. If it weren't for Pang Tong, even if he was a general of the Sichuan Army, he would have been fooled. It seemed that he still had a lot to learn from Pang Tong.
Pang Tong suddenly sighed: "But what's the use of knowing all this? God is really blind. At this time, there is a severe drought in Jingyi, and there is no food and grass. No matter how strong the army is, it can only collapse.
If I were Huang Yueying, I really can't think of any reasonable way to get food and grass. It seems that we should take action."
………………
At the Qinchuan crossing, the Sichuan army and the Liang army faced off. Zhuge Liang deployed tight defenses, pulled down pocket formations and waited for the Sichuan army to attack. Pang Tong waited hard for the opportunity and was fatal in one fell swoop.
The Sichuan army secretly sent Wei Yan back to Hanzhong and led five thousand soldiers to sneak into Ziwu Valley.
At this time, in the Shache Kingdom far away in the Western Regions, the queen set up a sacrificial altar and "performed rituals" on the high platform.
After Huang Yueying recovered from her illness, Liu Zhang asked Huang Yueying what happened. Huang Yueying said that it was the Queen of Yarkand who sent the herbs. At that time, Liu Zhang thought that the Queen of Yarkand must be the little girl Chilo, and thought that Chilo was grateful for his release, but
However, Huang Yueying said that the Queen of Shache Kingdom is called Latiya.
Liu Zhang was immediately disappointed, thinking that Chiluo was really just Hu Shang's daughter.
Just listening to the melodious sound of the flute, ants in the cave, snakes in the jungle, poisonous bees, butterflies, and dragonflies in the woods all gathered in the square. The square was filled with envoys from various countries in the Western Regions, facing the attracted insects.
, shocked and admired at the same time.
King Mulu's Ti Zhong is just a child's play in front of the Queen of Yarkand. The former can only command domesticated animals, while the latter has mastered the control of wild species.
No one has ever seen such a person, even in the Western Region where snake charmers are everywhere. Looking at the Queen of Yarkand, who was wearing a bright red divine robe on the high platform, the envoys from various countries in the Western Region showed admiration.
"Long live Queen Latia." Envoys from dozens of countries in the Western Regions paid homage, and the new Queen Latia of Yarkand was immediately praised as a god.
The messengers dispersed, and Latiya returned to the harem.
"Your Majesty, we have lived up to the Queen's trust and successfully completed our mission. The Giant Woman and Sanxue Cordyceps were delivered to the Lord of Shu, and we successfully brought back five thousand people who are good at shooting."
Latia walked outside and took a look at the five thousand prisoners of the Liang Army who were sent there. Most of them were Qiang Di people who accompanied the Liang Army on the expedition. She nodded: "Well done, go down and collect the antidote and rewards."
"yes."
When everyone retreated, Latia counted on her fingers, like a young girl with nothing to do, "We have five thousand warriors. If we do this today, my reputation, Latia, will spread throughout the Western Regions, and my prestige will be greatly increased."
Nowadays, there is still a lack of an enigmatic fortune teller to enhance his status, and there is still a shortage of 5,000 horses. This has to be found by the Dawan Kingdom, and 5,000 pairs of diamond armors. This has to be found by the Roman merchants. It seems that we have to find a good one.
Lure them from the head to bring their armor to Yarkand and rob them once."
While Latiya was thinking about it, a Yarkand soldier came in and reported: "Your Majesty, we have found twenty fortune tellers you want, and one of them is a Han Chinese with a sinister personality." (To be continued)
