Chapter 345

After Zhang Ren left the prefecture, Deng Zhan looked up at Liu Xiu with a worried expression. Although he doesn't understand military affairs, he can distinguish between the enemy and ourselves. Although Yizhou and Jingzhou formed an alliance, Yizhou didn't have any good intentions, but also for the sake of interests. If there had been no Nanyang County, Yizhou would not have sent troops.

Now Nanyang County encountered problems, Zhang Ren came to help, why?

Why does Jingzhou send troops without interests?

Deng Zhan took a deep breath and asked, "Lord, do you really want to send troops to help Zhang Ren?"

Liu Xiu and Pang Tong looked at each other, but they laughed at the same time.

At that time, Deng Zhan was confused.

What's the situation?

When the laughter stopped, Liu Xiu said, "it's necessary to help Zhang Ren. Nanyang County can't lose it."

Pang Tong took over and said, "but the time of sending troops is uncertain. The Lord agreed to send troops to help Zhang Ren, but he only said that he would arrive as soon as possible, not when. So, does general Deng understand? "

After hearing this, Deng Zhan thought about it for a while and said, "Lord, military division, does it mean that we first sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, first consume the troops under Zhang Ren's command, and then lead the army to rescue at the critical moment?"

"Yes

Pang Tong's face was full of smiles.

"Wonderful! Wonderful

Deng Zhan stroked his beard and looked at Liu Xiu and Pang Tong with admiration on his face. Deng Zhan and Pang Tong both received Liu Xiu's notice temporarily, but the tacit dialogue between Liu Xiu and Pang Tong was a brilliant one.

Liu Xiu ordered: "Deng Zhan, next, mobilize the royal guards to investigate the news of Nanyang County."

"No!"

Deng Zhan nodded solemnly. He also knew that this battle was the key.

Liu Xiu turned his eyes to Pang Tong and said, "Shiyuan, from Zhang Ren's description of the war, I suspect that Cao Cao has arrived in Wan county."

Pang Tong said: "I also agree with the Lord's analysis. I also have this doubt. We have fought with Cao Ren. We can't make such an accurate analysis just by Cao Ren. "

"The reason why Zhang Ren failed is that the other side set up a good situation, even calculated what Zhang Ren would do every step, and beat Zhang Ren step by step."

"Fortunately, Zhang Ren is also a valiant general. He has a good command of the army and is not in chaos in the face of danger. Only when he can command calmly can he escape from Jiyang County. Otherwise, Zhang Ren has died in battle."

Pang Tong sighed: "only Cao Cao's main advisers can set such a situation. The arrival of these people means that Cao Cao should go to Wan county and start planning Jingzhou and Jiangdong. "

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "wind and rain are coming!"

In Pang Tong's eyes, however, a touch of brilliance appeared, and he said with high morale: "Lord, although this war is extremely dangerous. But if we win this battle, it's a chance to lay the foundation for our Lord. Cao Cao's North seems to have been temporarily pacified, but there are many hidden dangers. Once Cao's army was defeated in the south, it would certainly hurt its strength. At that time, the Cao army suffered from internal troubles. The Lord will have more opportunities to grow, and then the northern expedition to Cao Cao. "

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "this battle is the battle of Qi and fortune in Jingzhou."

Deng Zhan listened to the dialogue between Liu Xiu and Pang Tong, but he was also excited. In his mind, he began to think about the scene when Liu Xiu defeated Cao Cao.

Pang Tong thought about it and said, "the Lord wants to transfer 5000 soldiers. Is it true that he will transfer the soldiers of the first army?"

Liu xiudao: "no, use Xiangyang soldiers. After Wei Yan arrived, he took over the soldiers in Xiangyang. At present, there are 5000 elite soldiers, so he used them. At the same time, Huang Hu's Flying Tiger camp and shamoko's barbarians are already a strong force. "

Pang Tong said, "my Lord is wise!"

Liu Xiu changed his words and said, "Shiyuan, go north to Nanyang County. In addition to resisting Cao Cao, I have another idea. "

"What do you think?" Pang Tong asked.

Liu xiudao: "I want to use this war to take Zhang Ren for my own use."

Zhang Ren is a great general in both martial arts and ability. Under such circumstances, Liu Xiu is naturally reluctant to let go.

Pang Tong frowned and said, "Lord, if you want to keep Zhang Ren, it means that you have to tear your face with Yizhou."

Liu Xiu chuckled and said, "why?"

Pang Tong said: "Zhang Ren is the general of Yizhou, and he is also in charge of Nanyang County. My Lord, this is the general under Liu Zhang. Can he be accepted by my lord? "

Liu xiudao: "what if Liu Zhang gave up Liu Zhang on his own initiative?"

As soon as this remark came out, Pang Tong's eyebrows were picked. He was very clever. Liu Xiu's words made Pang Tong understand. With a little smile, he said, "the Lord's consideration is not impossible, but feasible. But in this way, there are a lot of things to do. "

Liu Xiu smiles a little and says: "the focus is on Chengdu. If Liu Zhang takes the initiative to target Zhang Ren, things will be easier. My idea is to make use of this opportunity to let Zhang Ren and Cao Jun lose each other, let the people of the royal guards bribe the people around Liu Zhang, let them slander and let Liu Zhang deal with Zhang Ren. In this way, it will be much easier for me to recruit Zhang Ren. ""It's not easy to achieve this," Pang said. At least, we need to persuade Zhang song to help. In addition, we should also use Fazheng to mediate. "

After a pause, Pang Tong said, "it's just the result of the disposal. It must conform to the expected purpose of the Lord. The best result was to dismiss Zhang Ren directly, and then Liu Zhang sent another person to Nanyang County. Almost as a result, Liu Zhang deprived Zhang Ren of his official position, then denounced Zhang Ren, and the Lord recruited him again. "

Liu Xiu laughed and said, "since we have to do it, naturally we should achieve the best goal. As a general, Zhang Ren can't have no enemies in Yizhou, so as long as he incites, he can achieve his goal completely. "

After that, Liu Xiu looked at Deng Zhan and said, "Deng Zhan, you immediately order the royal guards of Yizhou to defeat Zhang Ren in Wan county and spread the news of the loss of Zhuyang County in Chengdu. Then, he bribed the people around Liu Zhang and Zhang Ren's opponents to slander Zhang Ren, so as to achieve the goal of Liu Zhang's dismissing Zhang Ren and reappointing generals to Nanyang County. "

"No!"

Deng Zhan nodded and sighed.

Zhang Ren, Zhang Ren, you must not escape from the palm of the Lord's hand.

As a former general, Deng Zhan was very glad that he no longer led the army, but led the royal guards. In his mind, if he meets a counselor like Pang Tong, he doesn't know how to die.

Pang Tong said: "Lord, there is one more thing to pay attention to. In terms of time, I was the time when Liu Zhang sent someone to replace Zhang Ren in Nanyang County. He must arrive after the Lord and Wei Yan lifted the siege of Xinye. This kind of situation can also make Zhang Ren more grateful to the Lord. At that time, the chance of recovering Zhang Ren will be even greater. "

Deng Zhan said with a smile: "don't worry, military strategist. The royal guards can accomplish such a thing. If the other side is in a hurry, the speed of the royal guards will be delayed

Pang Tong raised his thumb and said, "general Deng is a man of understanding."

Deng Zhan saluted, then turned and left.

Pang Tong said: "Lord, Cao Cao has gone south. His target must be Jingzhou and Jiangdong. But now, Jiangdong and Jingzhou are in opposition. Will we unite with Jiangdong in this war? Moreover, the death of Huang Gai and Han Dang, the surrender of taishici and Lu Su, and the killing of LV Meng all made the relationship between Jiangdong and Jingzhou very tense. In particular, Liu Bei is also in Jiangdong. It is very difficult for him to unite with the other side to resist Cao Cao. "

Liu Xiu smell speech, eyebrow also a little more dignified. According to Liu Xiu's original plan, the war with Cao Cao was definitely to unite with Jiangdong, but it's really hard to say what the situation is now.

Liu Xiu was silent for a moment, and said: "send Huang Zhong to spread the news of Cao Jun's going south to Jiangdong, and then release the intention of alliance, which is worthy of Sun Quan's reaction."

"No!"

Pang Tong nodded. At present, he can only do so.
