Crossing the Battle of the Three Kingdoms

Cai Hao said anxiously: "Shiyuan, Liu Bei's army has stepped up its strength, and it may be impossible to hide any longer."

Cai Mao's lurking subordinates numbered at least [-]. According to Liu Bei's army's dragnet-style investigation, even if they were scattered and shrunk, they would be discovered sooner or later.

Once discovered, they would definitely be wiped out in the city, but right now a gossip array has been set up outside the city, and if they want to launch a sneak attack, there is not much hope of getting out of the city, and they are really facing a dead end.

Pang Tong thought for a while and said: "In another day, Liu Jun will search here. It seems that tonight is the only way to fight."

Cai Mao's face was ugly and he said: "Even if they get out of the city, how can we break Zhuge Liang's gossip array?"

Although Cai Mao said he was lurking, he still had some understanding of the external situation by virtue of his interpersonal relationship in Nanyang.

"Is this so? I have to ask Zhuge Liang."

"Will he say it?"

"It should be. After all, he didn't really surrender to Liu Bei, and the Eight Diagrams Formation should have been set up as a last resort."

Seeing that Pang Tong was not too sure, Cai Mao was even more uncertain, but there was only one way for now, otherwise it would be more dangerous to wait any longer.

"Okay, sir, be careful yourself, and Mao will go to prepare." After Cai Mao finished speaking, he got up and left.

Pang Tong sat thoughtfully for a while, then got up and walked out, going straight to Liu's residence, because Zhuge Liang lived in Liu's residence.

Pang Tong's move seemed a little bit like a tiger's cub if he didn't enter the tiger's den.

When he came to Liu's mansion, Pang Tong didn't hide it, but stepped forward openly, and still had an extremely arrogant attitude.

"Go, tell Liu Bei that Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan came to save his life."

The guards in front of Liu's house saw that Pang Tongtong's nostrils were upturned, and he was uncertain, so he rushed to report.

When Liu Bei heard of Pang Tong's arrival, he was also curious, but since the senior came to the door, he naturally couldn't neglect it and went to greet him immediately.

"Hahaha, Shiyuan, you made Bei wait so hard."

Seeing Liu Bei's friendly expression, Pang Tong showed disgust on his face, and said calmly: "Uncle Emperor, you are being polite, Tong is just an unknown person, how can he receive such courtesy."

Although Pang Tong is rampant, in front of Liu Bei, he still has to give him some face. After all, he is a prince, so it is not good to be angry.

Seeing that Pang Tong didn't show much expression, Liu Bei knew that he didn't come to vote, maybe he came to see it, or maybe he had some purpose.

"Great talent Shiyuan, I have heard about it for a long time. Such a courtesy is well-deserved. Come, come, let's talk after entering the mansion. I will let Kong Ming come with me. I will have a few drinks."

Originally, he was looking for Zhuge Liang, and Liu Bei's words hit his chest, so Pang Tong naturally couldn't ask for it. "Since this is the case, it is better to obey orders than to be respectful."

When the two entered the mansion, Liu Bei was extremely polite along the way, constantly looking for topics to chat with Pang Tong, deliberately or unintentionally, but Pang Tong is also a smart person, so naturally he would not easily reveal his purpose.

The two talked and chatted, and not long after they came to the lobby, Zhuge Liang came waving a feather fan. "Congratulations to Uncle Huang, I am so happy to be a great talent, it is really a gift from heaven."

"Hahaha." Liu Beihao said with a smile: "Mr. is very right. With the two of you, Bei can sit back and relax, and will not have to wander around from now on."

"Sigh." A sigh, like a cold snap in summer, makes the atmosphere drop sharply.

As the instigator, Pang Tong didn't seem to notice anything, and said, "Uncle Emperor, although Nanyang is stable now, it is also in danger. How can we rest easy?"

Such a disappointing slap in the face made Liu Bei look a bit longer, but he still asked politely, "What does Shi Yuan mean by that?"

Pang Tong replied: "Although Kong Ming set up a large formation outside the city, has the emperor thought about what will happen if Cao Cao's army joins forces with Li Huiyi's troops and horses to defeat them with numbers?"

"Huh?" Liu Bei said in disbelief, "Impossible, both sides have enemies, how could they join forces?"

Upon hearing this, Pang Tong knew that Liu Bei was being hard-spoken, and said with a sneer, "Uncle Huang forgot about Guishuang's misfortune?"

After being pointed by Pang Tongtong, Liu Bei showed worry on his face, and asked slowly: "Then, according to Mr.'s intention, what should Bei do?"

Seeing that Liu Bei fell into the conversation, Pang Tong knew that most of the battle had been done, and he replied with no expression on his face: "While the power of the big formation is still there, the emperor should launch an attack and use the power of the big formation to defeat the enemy."

It's not that Liu Bei didn't want to attack, on the contrary, he wanted to attack very much, but every time he asked Zhuge Liang, he was advised to defend the city as much as possible.

Now that Pang Tong asked him to lead the battle, the germs in his heart rose. "Shiyuan has a second plan to defeat the enemy, so give it to him quickly."

Seeing that Liu Bei couldn't wait, Pang Tong didn't whet his appetite, and said directly: "Cao Cao's army has been here for a long time, and whether the emperor has taken the initiative to fight, he must be relaxed. If he launches a night attack, he will definitely gain something."

"Even if Cao Cao's army is on guard, the emperor can withdraw immediately. I think Cao Cao would not dare to pursue deeply."

This method can really be tried. If Cao Cao is defeated, there will be only one road left, and the difficulties will be reduced a lot.

But Pang Tong came here at this time for no reason, which made people wonder if he was instructed by someone.

With soldiers coming to the city, his reputation ruined, and great talents coming to vote, Liu Bei didn't think he was that attractive.

"Hahaha." Liu Bei laughed and said, "Scholar Yuan is indeed a great talent. Come on, let's not talk about military affairs today, let's have a drink first, and come back to business tomorrow."

Seeing that Liu Bei chose to avoid this topic for the time being, Pang Tong was not in a hurry. Anyway, if he really came to offer advice, even if he did, too hasty would be counterproductive.

Under Liu Bei's leadership, the three of them began to drink. During this period, Pang Tong got up and clinked glasses with Zhuge Liang several times, but the exchanges were all about governing the country and riding the battlefield, and there was nothing unusual about it.

The three of them drank a lot, and Pang Tong also blushed from drinking, and began to talk nonsense. Seeing this, Liu Bei had to be helped to leave for a rest.

Then Pang Tong, relying on Jiu Jin, refused to keep Liu's residence on the grounds that Liu Bei did not accept his suggestion, and insisted on leaving.

Unable to force him to stay, Liu Bei simply let him go, but he still sent two escorts. After all, Pang Tong is a man of real talent and learning. Now that he is here, he must be kept in sight.

Knowing that there was nothing unusual on Pangtong Road, Liu Bei fell into bed and fell asleep when he returned to his residence. Liu Bei was even more puzzled, thinking that he was thinking too much, but he still sent people to monitor him all day.

Chapter 773 Siege

Since there is nothing unusual, it may be that he is sincere, and he is ignored for the time being. Anyway, he is watching, and there is nothing wrong with it.

After Liu Bei thought about it, he decided not to speculate on Pang Tong's purpose anymore, and started to think about taking the initiative to attack.

The best defense is offense. Only by breaking the status quo can there be vitality. It is not the first time that Liu Beiyou seeks wealth and wealth.

"It seems that we really need to make a good plan. If we invite the two of them tomorrow, we should be able to come up with a perfect plan."

Liu Bei was thoughtful, a wave of alcohol welled up in his head, sleepiness came unknowingly, he fell into bed and closed his eyes to fall asleep.

As time passed, the sky gradually dimmed, and Li Jun began to gather quietly, ready to go.

"Legion Commander, the army has assembled."

Wei Yan can be said to be the youngest legion commander, and his being able to hold this position is more or less related to Li Shu's childhood sweetheart.

This time Li Shu appointed Wei Yan as the commander, Huang Xu as his deputy, Yan Pu as his conspirator, and dispatched some capable generals in Yizhou to him, obviously with the intention of cultivating them.

It is the first time to be in command, young and in a high position. These seem to be infinitely beautiful, but the pressure also coexists. If Wei Yan fails to achieve the corresponding results on the Jingzhou battlefield, then the ensuing doubts will also be overwhelming, so this battle It's about his future.

Wei Yan stood up and said to Yan Pu beside him: "Sir, the camp will be handed over to you, be careful of Cao Cao's sneak attack."
