    When Pang Tong heard Wenhan calling his name, he grinned and attended the ceremony.  All the generals looked at Pang Tong with expectation.  It can be seen that Pang Tong is a counselor as famous as Zhuge Kongming, and he was lucky enough to get his plan in the first round, flooding three villages of the Shu army and defeating the Shu army.  After Pang Tong finished the ceremony, he said in a condensed voice.

    "There is a saying that there is no good move in a tight march. Although our army defeated the other army in the previous battle, it has been more than a month now. Zhuge Kongming must have completed the reorganization of the army and the deployment has been decided. We must observe the actual situation and do not go deep into important areas to take advantage of Zhuge Liang.  What's more, we in the Western Tang Dynasty are leading an army of 160,000 troops to attack Shu, which consumes a lot of food every day. We don't have much food and grass, and we can't march here until the rear army's supplies arrive.  Visit various checkpoints in Shu to inquire about the situation. "

    As soon as Pang Tong said this, Guan Yu shouted coldly.

    "Nowadays, the military situation is tight, how can we neglect it? Don't you know that soldiers need speed!?"

    Although Pang Tong used his plan to defeat the Shu army, Guan Yu had always been arrogant and seemed not to be convinced by Pang Tong.  In addition, Guan Yu always disliked people with disheveled appearance and indulgent appearance. Pang Tong was not only extremely ugly, but also unruly in nature.  Guan Yu thought that Pang Tong relied on his talents and was arrogant, and he hated him in his heart.  After hearing this, Pang Tong laughed and shook his head without answering.  At this time, Xi Zhicai walked out to persuade him.

    "What Guan Gong said is wrong. If our army is well aware of the enemy's arrangement and attacks with great momentum, we should attack it quickly. Now that our army is deep in the enemy's territory, the enemy's arrangement will achieve nothing, and Zhuge Kongzhi is as numerous as a demon. If  If you act rashly, you will definitely fall into the enemy's plan. As the saying goes in the art of war, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will be victorious in any battle."

    When Guan Yu heard this, he held his hand on his beautiful beard, his red phoenix eyes were shining brightly. He also knew that what Xi Zhicai said was true, so he responded silently and said nothing.  Wenhan also felt that what Pang Tong said was true, so he summoned Zhao Yun to lead the elite soldiers to accompany him, and even handed over the map of Xichuan. At the same time, he also ordered Zhang Song to be the guide to accompany Pang Tong to investigate.  After hearing Wenhan's instructions, Pang Tong suddenly opened his mouth and said.

    "I have an unkind request, and I wonder if my lord can accept it."

    Wenhan raised his eyebrows and smiled.

    "It doesn't matter if you say it, Shi Yuan."

    "Zhuge Kongming is not an idle person. He doesn't know that our army will investigate and there must be an ambush. I have seen that the black wind cavalry under Guan Gong is extremely brave and walks like the wind. If Guan Gong is willing to go, he will be safe."

    Pang Tong said in a concentrated voice.  When all the generals heard what Pang Tong said, they all didn't believe it.  Guan Yu narrowed his eyes, thinking that Pang Tong was a coward, and the look on his face was even more unpleasant.  Wenhan heard this and saw that Pang Tong's words were true, so he told Guan Yu.

    ¡°Then I¡¯ll trouble my second brother to go there in person.¡±

    Guan Yu cupped his hands in salute and shouted excitedly.

    "My lord's order, I must obey it."

    But Liu Bei heard that Wen Han led his troops to the Zitong realm and quickly sought Zhuge Liang to discuss.  Zhuge Liang seemed to have expected this and bowed.

    "Liangchang reported to the lord that he must have hoped for Zitong's advance, so he ordered Zhang Fei and Wang Ping to guard the pass around Zitong, and it turned out to be true. If they entered the enemy from Zitong, it would be very convenient to transport grain. Fortunately, Zhang Fei and Wang Ping were guarding the gate.  We don't dare to transport food through this road. It's difficult to transport food along the other roads. The troops of Liang Tang will only be able to transport food for a month. It's better for our army to hold on for a long time. The Lord can order Zhang Fei and Wang Ping to hold on.  Don't fight at the pass. It won't take more than a month for the Tang soldiers to take advantage of the situation and attack them. Wen Bufan can capture them!"

    Liu Bei nodded happily after hearing this.

    "Fortunately, the military advisor has foresight, so what should we do based on what the military advisor sees?"

    Zhuge Liang groaned for a while, then waved his fan.

    "My lord, you can immediately tell Zhang Fei and Wang Ping that whenever they see Tang soldiers coming to kill them, they should not rush forward rashly, and the most important thing is to defend the pass. If the pass is not lost, the 160,000-strong army of the Western Tang Dynasty will not be able to advance or attack.  According to the previous report, Pang Shiyuan, Liang's senior brother, has entered the Western Tang Dynasty. Although he has a strange temperament, he is not as good as Pang Shiyuan when it comes to military operations.  When the elements come to raise troops, they must first explore the reality before using tactics. My lord can teach Zhang Fei and Wang Ping to set up an ambush at the pass. If they can capture Pang Shiyuan, our army will have nothing to worry about."

    Liu Bei's face changed after hearing this, and he felt a little afraid of Pang Tong in his heart. He asked Zhuge Liang calmly.

    "Is this Pang Shiyuan really so great?!"

    "That's right. If it weren't for this person's strange appearance and weird temperament, he would have been delayed in becoming an official. Otherwise, just because of his name, he would have already become famous all over the world."

    Zhuge Liang¡¯s face was solemn and he nodded in response.  Liu Bei was very worried after hearing this, and immediately issued an edict, sending Yi Ji to warn Zhang Fei and Wang Ping.

    So warned.

    ¡®Don¡¯t fight, just be cautious.  Only wait for the Tang soldiers to retreat before attacking them.  You can set up an ambush under the pass to be on guard against other patrols. If you can capture him, do not execute him without permission. Send someone back to Zitong quickly and let the King of Shu personally deal with it.  ¡¯

    Yi Ji took the order and retreated, Zhuge Liang personallyYi is from outside the city, and before leaving, he gave instructions.

    "I give this merit to Yide. Seeing Yide publicly, I don't want to say what Liang said. I just say that this is an edict from the King of Shu, and education and protection are the top priority. Those who pursue you must be careful, and do not send out those who are impatient and impatient.  Chase them. And if you catch someone, treat them with courtesy and don't do anything wrong."

    After hearing this, Yiji also understood Zhuge Liang's deep intention and immediately agreed to resign.  A few days later, it was said that Zhang Fei was raising his account to discuss matters, and suddenly he reported that the king of Shu had sent Yi Ji to hold the festival.  Zhang Fei left the stronghold and entered. After receiving the imperial edict, he felt bright in his heart and retreated to discuss matters with Wang Ping.  Zhang Fei laughed.

    "This must be Zhuge Kongming's opinion. But I was afraid that I would be arrogant and not respect his orders, so I gave him the name of brother."

    After hearing this, Wang Ping's face condensed and he asked Zhang Fei.

    "Then according to what the general sees, what does the military advisor think?!"

    Zhang Fei laughed and said in a condensed voice.

    "The military advisor's intelligence is like a demon, comparable to that of Zhang Zifang and Jiang Ziya. Those who can control the Western Tang Dynasty in the future must be Kong Ming. If you act according to his plan now, you will definitely get a perfect reward."

    After Zhang Fei finished speaking, he followed Zhuge Liang's instructions and sent Wang Ping ahead of the passes to densely patrol the passes with scouts and set up secret sentries. If any troops from the Western Tang Dynasty were discovered, they would report immediately.  Zhang Fei's transfer has been decided.  However, it was said that there was no movement from the Western Tang Army for the time being. Pang Tong, Guan Yu and Zhang Song led Black Wind Cavalry to explore the terrain at various passes.  For several days, Pang Tong searched carefully and was very cautious all the way.  Guan Yu thought he was timid and sneered secretly.  On the third day, Pang Tong entered a forest and suddenly heard the branches and leaves shaking frequently.  Pang Tong looked shocked. He quickly reined in his horse and turned back, shouting to withdraw his troops.  Guan Yu, however, showed no fear and said calmly.

    "There is no need for military advisors to worry unfoundedly. The area here is hidden. How can there be soldiers from Shu!?"

    Just as Guan Yu finished speaking, there was a blast of artillery and crossbows firing wildly. Fortunately, Pang Tong just shouted, so that all the Black Wind Cavalry were prepared. At that moment, all the soldiers quickly turned their guns to resist, and few injuries were suffered.  At this time, the shouts of killing suddenly arose, and Wang Ping led a branch of men and horses to stab them out diagonally.  When Guan Yu saw this, Danfeng stared, sat down on the red rabbit and horse, and flew to meet him.  Wang Ping rushed towards Wang Ping with his spear, but Guan Yu's horse was fast and rushed to get there first. He suddenly danced the Qinglong Yanyue Sword and struck Wang Ping head-on.  Wang Ping dodged quickly, and the knights around him swarmed up, and seven or eight spears were aimed at Guan Yu.  Guan Yu wielded his sword to block, and the speed of the sword was astonishing. In seven or eight rounds in a row, he cut down several Shu army cavalrymen.  Wang Ping attacked angrily, his guns danced tightly, and the Shu soldiers all attacked.  Many troops went to kill Pang Tong.  Guan Yu feared that Pang Tong would lose, so he reined in his horse and retreated. He rushed to Pang Tong's side and protected him from retreating first. At the same time, he ordered one Black Wind Cavalry to resist, and another Black Wind Cavalry to retreat with him.  As soon as Guan Yu's order fell, Black Wind Cavalry divided into two teams.  Guan Yu protected Pang Tong for several miles when suddenly there was a sound like thunder, and Zhang Fei led a group of men and horses to intercept him from the side of the road.  Guan Yu's expression changed, and he quickly taught Black Wind Cavalry to strike with a flat shot.  I saw hundreds of black wind cavalry soldiers, changing their bows and taking arrows very skillfully.  In an instant, arrows shot out like lightning, and a stream of arrows rushed toward Zhang Feijun.  Zhang Feiyuan glared, roared angrily, drew his snake spear, struck it randomly, and charged towards him despite the rain of arrows.  The Shu soldiers behind were not as brave as Zhang Fei, and were shot back one after another.  When Guan Yu saw this, he snorted coldly and rushed forward.  When Zhang Fei saw Guan Yu coming to kill him, he quickly shook his head.  Soon after, the red rabbit horse rushed in front of Zhang Fei like a gust of fire. Guan Yu shouted loudly and slashed at Zhang Fei's face with his sword.  Zhang Fei twisted his spear to hold it against him, and when the two weapons collided, a spark was created.  The two of them were fighting fiercely, with swords and spears flashing, and they killed dozens of rounds in an instant.  Shu soldiers came to help in the battle one after another. Heifeng rode on the left and right and fired arrows to force the Shu soldiers back.

    At this moment, a cry of killing came from behind.  It turned out that Wang Ping was chasing another Black Wind Cavalry and came over.  The Black Wind Cavalry was extremely fast, widening the distance between it and Wang Pingjun, and suddenly fired arrows one after another.  Wang Ping had known that this Black Wind Cavalry was capable of shooting, so he had been prepared and quickly used his spear to resist.  However, Wang Ping's sergeants were not so refined. The arrows rushed through and Wang Ping's army was in chaos.  Soon the two black wind cavalry horses came together.  Guan Yu urgently ordered his sergeants to protect Pang Tong and leave first.  All the troops obeyed the order and rushed around to support Pang Tong.  When Zhang Fei saw this, he roared loudly, danced his snake spear, and suddenly thrust it out, using the Eight Desolation God-Destroying Spear Technique, and stabbed away five or six spears in a row.  One spear is faster and faster than the other.  Guan Yu didn't dare to be negligent, he also used the eight techniques of Chunqiu and slashed five or six times in a row.  I saw that the Qinglong Yanyue Sword and the Zhangba Snake Spear seemed to turn into a green light and a yellow light, colliding so fast that it was difficult for the naked eye to catch them.  The soldiers of Shu all looked in astonishment and waited until they came to their senses.  I saw Guan Yu forcing Zhang Fei away with a knife, reining in his horse and running away, dragging the knife behind him.  When Zhang Fei saw it, he knew Guan Yu's plan of dragging the sword, so how could he dare to pursue him? He quickly taught the crossbowman behind the formation to shoot him with arrows.  However, Guan Yu's horse was fast. By the time the arrows were fired, the red rabbit horse had already flown away, and all the arrows were in vain.  Zhang Fei was so angry that he cursed angrily and led his troops to kill him together with Wang Ping.  Guan Yufei walked up a high slope and caught up with Heifengqi. He heard countless people and horses coming from behind.  CloseDanfeng's eyes suddenly shot out two rays of light, and he shouted sternly.

    "Bow down!!"

    Guan Yu gave an order, and more than a thousand black wind riders fired arrows in unison. A stream of arrows fell from a high place with extremely strong momentum.  Zhang Fei stared at him and quickly drew his snake spear to block it.  Wang Ping on the side also swung his spear to block the arrows.  Zhang Fei's army was in chaos. He was shot so hard that he fell on his back and screamed in agony. Hundreds of Shu soldiers rolled down the mountain, howling in pain.  After three rounds of arrows fired, by the time Zhang Fei came to his senses, Guan Yu had already led the Black Wind Cavalry to escort Pang Tong to escape.  Zhang Fei was so angry that he gritted his teeth, shook his head and cursed loudly.

    But it was said that Guan Yu was protecting Pang Tong and returning to the stronghold. On the way, he encountered Zhao Yun's reinforcements.  It turned out that the scouts sent by Wen Han to patrol around heard the shouts of killing and quickly came to report.  Wen Han was afraid that Guan Yu and Pang Tong would be surrounded and killed by Shu soldiers, so he quickly asked Zhao Yun to lead troops to rescue them.  When Zhao Yun arrived, he felt certain that Guan Yu and Pang Tong were not seriously injured.  Guan Yu and Pang Tong rode together to greet him, told him what had happened, and then returned to the stronghold with Zhao Yunjun.  Wen Han led his generals to wait in front of the stronghold. When they saw Guan Yu and others returning, he asked about them.  When the generals heard that there was an ambush among the Shu soldiers, they all marveled at Pang Tong's ability to predict the situation.

    " Let's talk about Zhang Fei and Wang Ping returning to the stronghold. Zhang Fei was still angry and became furious.  Wang Ping quickly advised.

    "General, calm down. Today we saw the person guarded by Guan Yunchang. He is extremely ugly. He must be Pang Shiyuan, who the military advisor pointed out. According to the military advisor, this man has the wisdom of the world and is a talented person. If you have already explored me,  When the army is deployed, there will always be a plan, and it must be guarded against."

    When Zhang Fei heard this, his face darkened, he suppressed his anger and spoke in a deep voice.

    "Although the military advisor told us to defend the pass, what will happen if the Tang soldiers do not retreat and use tricks to defeat it!!?"
