After Zhuge Liang offered the strategy of "let Pang Tong commit fraud" in front of Li Su, it would naturally take some time to implement the specific implementation.

Pang Tong now lives in Zhuyang County, upstream of Xiangyang. Zhuge Liang went to Xinye to find the other party and persuade the other party to accept the plan. It would take two or three days to go to Wuguan to join the generals of Yuan Shu's army. He also had to go back and forth to ask Yan Xiang and others for instructions. It would take many days for the round trip.

So it will take more than ten days to work this strategy.

Fortunately, the pace of war in the late Han Dynasty was slow, and no matter the war in Luoyang or the siege of Xu County in Yingchuan, it was not calculated in months. Liu Bei's army and Li Su could afford it.

This is using a plan, and Li Su on the other side is not idle either, allowing Gao Shun to moderately strengthen his siege against Jingyang.

At the same time, he secretly promised Gao Shun: Don't worry, the happy head will be yours sooner or later, and you will be granted the title of marquis with this. But the premise is that you cannot ruin the overall major events for personal gain, and you cannot destroy the rhythm of forcing Yuan Shujun to retreat.

Gao Shun originally asked casually, but he was quite shameful and would not say anything if he wanted to be a marquis.

Of course, he immediately accepted Li Su's request, saying, "The right general hopes that Le will die at the fifth hour, and I will never kill him in the middle of the night. Hope that Le will die in Jiyang, and I will never kill him in Jingyang in advance."

After secretly reaching the tacit understanding of this gentleman agreement, Li Su ordered Gao Shun to let go of the siege of the south gate of Qingyang for two days and focus on attacking the west gate, leaving Le with the opportunity to abandon the city and retreat.

On the one hand, this can reduce casualties during the strong attack on Qingyang. On the other hand, there is a Jiyang County behind it that can be surrounded again so that the remnants of Leji's troops will not escape into the much stronger Wancheng garrison, forming greater combat effectiveness.

On March 23rd and 24th, Gao Shun smashed the city walls around the West Gate and fell into pieces. He would have several groups of people who would soon succeed in climbing the city.

In addition to the previous days of siege, Gao Shun's attacking troops killed more than 600 people and were injured by one or two thousand. However, the casualties of the defenders were no less than those of the siege.

The main reason is that the siege weapons of the siege are too excellent and the armored rate is also high. Although the original elite of the Northern Army and Zhu Jun from Luoyang's new imperial guards in Yuan Shu's army are also the ones in the Yuan Shu army, the proportion is not high after all, and most of the soldiers are not very strong in combat quality.

Moreover, Gao Shun's "three-sided" attitude had a great impact on the morale of the defenders, and the soldiers were reluctant to fight and wanted to escape from the water gate in the East City.

On the night of the 24th day, Le finally couldn't withstand the temptation. In addition, he felt that there were no reinforcements outside, so he opened the east gate to get all the relatively elite troops of his direct line on the boat and retreated to Jiyang against the current.

Since Gao Shun had only attacked the west gate and did not even surround the south gate, of course, he did the show to the end and could not find Leji running away at the first time. Basically, after Le took a boat and walked away at least 5,000 vanguard troops, Gao Shun "later" discovered Leji's whereabouts. Then, while informing Gan Ning of the waterway to try to intercept, he stepped up his attack on the city.

But let alone, Le played a trick to survive when he withdrew his troops, and made Ganning's waterway pursuit not go smoothly. When Le retreated, a large number of crossbowmen and even a few throwing soldiers were still deployed on the city tower outside the water gate of the East Wharf, blocking the surface of the Qingshui River with arrows and rolling wooden stones.

Considering that the Qingshui River is only a narrow river that is only twenty or thirty feet wide in this section, and the firepower of the city tower covers the blockade of the river, Gan Ning really can't catch up.

However, this kind of tail-breaking survival is also very expensive, that is, the troops left on the Dongcheng City Tower to fight fire and block the fire are basically abandoned by Le. Moreover, the more crossbowmen concentrated on this side, the weaker the troops guarding Gao Shun on the west side.

In addition, the soldiers knew that Le had broken through and abandoned them and used them to cut off the rear, so Gao Shun successfully captured the city in the middle of the night that day. The built-up crossbowman troops of three or four thousand people in the city were captured by Gao Shun, and there were thousands of other soldiers guarding the city surrendered.

The joyful slaughter of the tail was equivalent to breaking through the 40% of the troops, and the remaining 60% were either captured on the battlefield or surrounded and surrendered. Even so, he only delayed the middle of the night.

After Gan Ning was controlled by Gao Shun in Dongcheng of Jingyang, the boat immediately rushed to chase him. When Gan Ning set off, it was already nearly thirty miles away from Leru. As a result, when he chased him until the afternoon of the next day, when he arrived near Jiyang County, he actually shortened the distance to the distance of sight.

Le was the general of Huaibei. His water quality and ability to train soldiers to control ships were far inferior to that of Gan Ning. Gan Ning chased him so deeply, but the troops were actually out of touch. Only a few sieges opened by the old Jiang thieves from Gan Ning were chasing him in the front, and the Jingzhou navy behind could no longer keep up.

But Gan Ning relied on these few crafts to make the birds scared so much that he did not dare to be proud of his joy, and did not dare to pursue "retreat directly to Wancheng in one go", but instead chose to go directly to Jiyang City with a timid heart.

As a result, his troops lost half of their troops, but did not achieve the goal of "withdrawing back to Wancheng to defend". They just fled north for seventy or eighty miles and were blocked in another small county again. The half of their troops were in vain last night.

Fortunately, Gan Ning was brave enough. After confirming that Le escaped into Jiyang, he still decisively led the pioneer's only four pirates and rushed to Jiyang City Water Gate with his might and showed his might, and ordered the troops to shoot arrows and intimidate them.

The crossbowmen were also asked to shoot arrows out from different portholes of the siege to create the illusion of "there are too many sailors on the ship". In the end, they used four sieges to realize the task of "surrounding the Jiyang defenders for a quarter of an hour", and dragged them to the subsequent troops and slowly rushed to the battlefield.

That night, even Gao Shun, who had arrived by land, arrived, and once again siege Jiyang, this time it was a complete siege, because Li Su was planning to wipe out Leji's troops in Jiyang City, and these people could not be allowed to escape back to defend Wancheng.

After Gao Shun learned about the pursuit and siege, he also sweated slightly, thinking that the strategic deployment of the right general's promised almost failed to be realized. If Le was allowed to escape directly into Wancheng, it would take a lot of effort.

Although he didn't like drinking much, he still made an exception that night to invite Gan Ning to drink as a thank you. After drinking, he hinted: "The two battles between Qingyang and Jiyang, thanks to Xingba's repeated timely reinforcements, otherwise, the battle at Sanchahekou would not have been able to tempt Liang Gang, and today he was almost ran away by the joy.

In the future, when Leju is killed, this merit will be reported to the king and the right general, and will be divided equally with Xingba's troops. We don't want to go directly to the village marquis. We will be considered as glorious and glorious in our ancestors.

Xingba, you are not easy. A few years ago, I heard that I would get fever and vomiting when I encountered the Southern Expedition. I could not catch up with the three achievements of the military achievements of Jingnan and Jiaozhou in Dianzhou. Now it is finally the Northern Expedition. It is rare that there are water battles to fight in the Northern Expedition. You finally caught it. In the future, I really fought to the north of Luo, and even fought with Yuan Shao, but there is no water battle to fight."

While Gan Ning felt proud, he boasted with alcohol: "Although the opportunity is rare, so what? Did you underestimate me and think I can only fight in the water?"

The two of them blew their pussy and drank for a drink, and the next day they continued to siege the city.

...

While Gao Shun took down Jingyang and besieged Jiyang, Zhuge Liang finally found Pang Tong and brought him back. He also told Pang Tong about a general strategy and arranged to persuade Pang Tong to serve the King of Hanzhong, so that he could make a contribution when he first became an official.

When Pang Tong was just lobbying by Zhuge Liang, he was a little unimpressed because he "feels that Liu Bei is already too smooth now. He has been born for a few years late and has not encountered a storm and era of great success and turning the situation around."

However, Pang Tong complained and finally accepted Zhuge Liang's conditions. Even his arrogance was not as obvious as in history.

There is no way to do this. The times create heroes, and the age and region are not born, so they naturally cannot catch up with the peak period of making contributions. But "the best time to plant a tree is ten years ago. If you can't do it, the next best time is now." Since you missed the period of Liu Bei's initial rise, you should at least seize the present.

Now that we join, we can at least have a similar qualification to Xu Shu.

After Zhuge Liang got Pang Tong, he brought the people back first. Before sending out the mission, he had at least shown his face and made a name for himself. To clarify his identity, Zhuge Liang wanted to let Pang Tong go on the road with a red mouth and white teeth. The problem is that Pang Tong couldn't believe him!

I have never met the leader, and I have never heard of the leader’s personal promise of official rewards, so I just went to be an undercover agent. Who will recognize your identity in the future?

Therefore, this process cannot be spared. Li Su must personally meet Pang Tong, personally invite Pang Tong to drink, and say good things to be appointed as an official and make a wish.

The moment he saw Pang Tong, Li Su gasped in his heart, but fortunately he was mentally prepared and showed no expression. He talked to Pang Tong about some views on the lessons of history and his considerations about the current situation.

As for Pang Tong’s specific appearance, I won’t describe it much.

At the same time, Pang Tong also showed his skills and analyzed in front of Li Su that he had actually expected Li Su to attack Wu Guan behind him.

Li Su was humble and asked Pang Tong to speak freely, but Pang Tong analyzed: "I have lived in Xiangyang for a long time and have traveled to Zhuyang, Wudang and other places when I was young. The Shangyong land was still a very barren Qinling mountain valley, swamp and lake, and when I was old, it was still a very barren Qinling mountain valley, swamp and silt lake.

But at least five or six years ago, there were already fertile paddy fields. The local mountain people changed the land of the original swamp and silt to plant taro in deep dredging and rice in shallow piles. The King of Hanzhong has been managing Hanzhong for many years, so how could he not have the strength to go down the Han River and launch a large army to attack Yuan Shu?

Now that Hanzhong soldiers have not been out of here, I think it is because of surprise and have greater plans. If Hanzhong soldiers don’t make a sound as soon as they come out of the mountain, they will have already achieved great results. Although it may not be for the purpose of opening up the Wuguan Road in one battle, there are not many other options.

Fortunately, the most intelligent under Yuan Shu is Yan Xiang and Yang Hong. I think they have not had the energy to figure this out. If Yuan Shu had a team of strategists like King Hanzhong, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao around him, it would be difficult to succeed at this level of strategy."

Pang Tong said simply, "This kind of sneak attack can only deal with the princes of Caibi who have no intellectual talents of 90 or above."

After hearing this analysis, Li Su was more confident in Pang Tong, and finally made a decision: "You go to Zhang Xun, the general of Wuguan, and first join Zhang Xun, and ask Zhang Xun to prepare gold, silk, and bribe immediately, and ask the Western Route Army to gradually withdraw and deploy defense.

When Zhang Xun doubts you, you mention that you covet the female family of Qiao Rui's family and want to make contributions to Qiao Rui. But you don't have to go to Qiao Rui, and it's too late. The two ends of Wuguan Road are more than 500 miles apart, and you have to walk a thousand miles of mountain road back and forth. As long as Zhang Xun believes that you are sincere in doing things for Qiao Rui."

"I know how to do it." Pang Tong agreed easily. After all, he had never seen Qiao Xiao and Xiao, so he was not very enthusiastic. Just act a little more enthusiastic.

A few days later, Zhang Xun received Pang Tong. After listening to Pang Tong's analysis of Yuan Shujun's current interests, he realized that he was indeed in a very dangerous position and was easily cut off by the Yuan army, and he really needed to return to defense and shrink. So, according to Pang Tong's request, he sent people to Luoyang for various activities.

However, Yuan Shu was clearly in such a dangerous situation, but because of other reasons he was reluctant to leave, he insisted on staying in Luoyang for several more days, but he had a wish that he would fulfill even before he died, and then allowed his subordinates to retreat.

Yuan Shu seemed to have given up and asked his subordinates to prepare for the throne ceremony. He wanted to be in Fengshan Tiandi in Luoyang on the first day of April and be known as the emperor.

Since a real man lost his bet and lost all his money, he saw that he still had an overdraft amount, so he overdrafted all of them and made another last time.

Even Liu Biao didn't want his "decree of the late emperor's throne" and followed Li Su to attack him. Then he couldn't use this monarchy for nothing, right? If no one wants it, just use it yourself! Otherwise, it wouldn't be a waste of time for a walk in the world.

The Yin area of ​​Henan where Luoyang is located is in his hands, and the Yin Yin of Jingzhao where Chang'an is located also occupied several counties (the counties in Wuguan Road), and Wancheng, the imperial town of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, was also in his hands!

Both imperial towns in the capitals are in hand. Even if they are about to lose them, they will still be addicted to death. Even if they die faster, it doesn’t matter.
Chapter completed!
