South of Hangu Pass, there is the camp of Emperor Ming Dynasty, with a large tent with a golden roof.
It is now the sixth day after the Yellow Turban Army's defeat at Hangu Pass and the fourth day after Jia Xu's victory at Wugu Pass. Qin Yang no longer closed the golden-domed tent to avoid the generals. After the pent-up fighting spirit in the hearts of the generals reached a limit, Qin Yang knew that he could no longer suppress it, even if it was just pretending, so he simply summoned the generals. Come to the tent to discuss matters.
"Your Majesty, our army is on the Hongnong battlefield. Lord Pang Sima has sent someone to present the battle report!"
"In the big tent, the Yellow Turban generals who had been feeling aggrieved for a long time were making impassioned speeches and offering suggestions. Suddenly, a guard outside the tent reported loudly.
Zhang Yan became anxious upon hearing this and muttered: "Mr. Jia won a big victory a few days ago, and this time it will definitely be a big victory for Pang Sima. It's a pity that we"
"What's the pity? Are you saying that I am incompetent and can't lead you to win the battle?!" Qin Yang glanced at Zhang Yan. After Zhang Yan realized that she had made a mistake, she blushed and hesitated to speak, he then calmly said Said: "Submit the battle report."
A moment later, a battle report was in Qin Yang¡¯s hands. The rest of the generals in the tent immediately focused their attention on the battle report in Qin Yang's hand. After all, the Yellow Turban Army is in the same spirit. Pang Tong led the Houtu Camp and the Shenji Camp to fight against the veteran Lian Po outside Hongpai, which must have been very exciting.
But Qin Yang seemed to be deliberately trying to whet everyone's appetite. After he finished reading the battle report in his hand, his face remained calm. He just gently placed the battle report on the table and tapped the table with his fingers. Inside the golden-domed tent, there was silence, and the sound of "Du, Du" tapping on the table could be clearly heard.
After a long time, everyone finally couldn't bear it anymore. Zhang Yan didn't dare to speak because she just said something wrong, so she couldn't help but lightly poked Guan Hai beside her.
Guan Hai understood, with a smile on his face, he said: "Hey, Your Majesty, what on earth did Pang Sima say? Did our army win a great victory in Hongnong? Has Lian Po's head been chopped off?"
"Humph!" Qin Yang did not answer Guan Hai's words, but just snorted coldly.
This cold snort immediately raised the hearts of the generals in the tent to their throats. Guan Hai and Zhang Yan looked at each other, both secretly thinking, could it be that Pang Sima lost this battle? Otherwise, why would His Highness have such an attitude?!
"Okay, I'm in a bad mood today. Let's discuss matters here first. In addition, send someone to give orders to Pang Sima, telling him to use his troops well and not to let me down." Qin Yang seemed to sigh lightly, and then straightened up. Body, said calmly to the messenger sent by Pang Tong.
After the messenger bowed his head, the generals immediately became excited. They all communicated with each other with their eyes. Since His Majesty has said so, it must be that Pang Sima's side was defeated. Well, it sounds like although they are defeated, they still have the strength to fight. Otherwise, Your Majesty would not have allowed Pang Sima to use his troops. Alas, I really didn¡¯t expect that Pang Sima, known as Feng Chu, would also be defeated
"Okay. Stop guessing. Pang Tong was indeed defeated outside Hongwai. Hou Tuying was defeated and nearly a hundred divine machine crossbows were lost." Qin Yang glanced at the generals and said lightly.
"Nearly, nearly a hundred fights?!" When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but be dumbfounded. You know, there are only two hundred of these divine machine crossbows in the entire Ming Empire. Nearly a hundred were lost in one fell swoop. This kind of loss is equivalent to the loss of a hundred thousand troops!
Qin Yang said calmly: "Since I have handed over the Hongnong battlefield to Pang Tong, I will not interfere. Unless he himself asks us to send troops to assist, otherwise, I will completely trust him. You go down first."
Hearing this, the generals knew that Qin Yang was not feeling well at this time. Immediately they said nothing more and bowed to leave.
But, all the generals retreated in front of everyone. When Qin Yang was the only one left in the golden tent. Qin Yang, who had always kept a straight face, suddenly laughed. He picked up the battle report on the desk and said to himself: "Pang Tong, Pang Tong, you are very cunning. It seems that I will be able to stop him soon." Good news for you"
Thirty miles outside Hongpai, Emperor Ming's army camped.
From the outside, although the military camps of the Ming Empire are well-organized and well-organized, it always feels like something is missing. But once someone casts their gaze on the faces of the soldiers guarding the military camp, they will immediately discover that what is lacking in this military camp is the fighting spirit that an elite soldier should have.
A few days ago, there was a fierce battle outside Hongpai. The demon general Lian Po led 20,000 wild goose guards and 30,000 demon troops came out. Twenty thousand Yanling Guards who are skilled in riding and shooting and move like the wind, under the command of Lian Po, appear and disappear on the battlefield. Even the magical crossbow known as the "cavalry nemesis" under Pang Tong could not keep up with the speed of Yan Lingwei.
Under the head-on charge of 20,000 Yanling Guards and 30,000 demon troops, Lian Po actually defeated Pang Tong's 60,000 troops. In the end, if Houtuying hadn't relied on the heavy armor on his body to break out of the encirclement, Pang Tong's head would have been hanging on Hong Wei's head at this moment.
But even so, Pang Tongjun still paid a heavy price with more than a hundred divine machine crossbows damaged and thousands of soldiers killed. Today¡¯s militaryDuring this period, the morale of the Yellow Turban Army had already fallen to an unprecedented low. If it weren't for the deterrence of Hou Tuying's elite soldiers and the divine crossbows in the military camp, Lian Po would have sent troops to attack the camp by now.
In the large tent of the Chinese army, Pang Tong, who was wearing a robe, sat in the middle. Apart from him, there were only two generals sitting in the tent with their hands hanging down.
"Pang Sima, according to what you see, what is Lian Po doing at the moment?" A general in his forties on the left asked with a frown.
Pang Tong looked calm and pondered for a moment before saying: "Lian Po is extremely cautious by nature. Hundreds of years ago, during the Battle of Changping, if Zhao had not fallen into Qin's counter-intentional plan, Lian Po would have been transferred back to Handan. I'm afraid Bai Qi wanted to trick him. Killing 400,000 Zhao troops is not that simple. Now the demon army's scouting horses have been stationed outside our army camp several times, but there is no movement in Hongcheng direction. This shows that Lian Po should still be worried. If it is true If that's the case, General Bai will have to work hard next."
While speaking, Pang Tong had already set his sights on a fair-skinned general in his thirties on the right. This man was none other than General Shenji Camp, Bai Rao.
Hearing this, Bai Rao chuckled and said: "I will work hard for the empire as long as I can defeat the demon army. However, our battle report has been sent to His Majesty. I wonder if His Majesty will"
"I don't think so. Your Majesty has no doubts about his employment. Even if Pang Sima is really defeated, Your Majesty will not punish him at this time." The general on the left shook his head and said.
Pang Tong nodded and said, "General Tao Sheng is right. Your Majesty must be able to see the mystery in my battle report."
"Report¡ª¡ª! Report to Lord Sima, the two generals, the envoys who sent the battle report to Your Majesty are back."
While the three of them were talking, a report sounded outside the tent. After getting Pang Tong's permission, the envoy who delivered the battle report to Qin Yang walked into the tent.
"What did your Majesty say?" Pang Tong looked at the envoy with a smile.
"Your Majesty has something to say, let Lord Sima use his troops well, and don't let your Majesty down." The envoy said truthfully.
"Nothing else?" Bai Rao asked in surprise.
The messenger thought for a moment. Shaked his head.
"Okay, you go down first. It's been a hard trip." Pang Tong smiled slightly and dismissed the envoy.
After the envoy went down, Bai Rao asked doubtfully: "Pang Sima, after Your Majesty learned that our army was defeated, why did he only say these two words?"
Pang Tong said with a smile: "Don't you understand, General Bai? Your Majesty already knows my intentions, so why would you say more in front of all the generals?"
Tao Sheng said: "Could it be said that His Majesty already knows Pang Sima's next plan? No way? The last general also read the battle report. The battle report only said that our army was defeated, and there was no"
Pang Tong smiled and said: "Both generals are honest people, how can they see the word play in our battle report? Yes, I said in the battle report that our army was defeated. But as long as your majesty has seen the battle damage, . You should be able to think of something. Just think about it, the two generals, the divine machine crossbow is the great killer weapon of our army, and there are only more than 200 of them in the entire empire. Its power is astonishing, no less than a hundred thousand soldiers. Even if I No matter how incompetent Pang Tong was, he would not have suffered so many losses from the divine machine crossbows, while the soldiers in the Tu camp suffered very little losses. And because of this, your majesty must have guessed my defeat. It seemed like a big defeat. But it was actually In order to fake defeat. In addition, before the expedition, the fact that I entrusted the Hanzhong Arsenal to build it must have been known to your Majesty. In this way, I am afraid that your Majesty already knows our intentions. "
"Oh? Sir, you are saying that Your Majesty knows about the arsenal?" Bai Rao said in surprise. Even for him, it was only after the expedition. He was brought to the army by Pang Tong and told him about it. Qin Yang was dealing with all kinds of things, but how did he know about it?
Pang Tong nodded and said: "Don't think that your Majesty seems not to care about other things. But as long as there is a slight change in the empire, I am afraid that Your Majesty will know it immediately. Have you forgotten Big Boss Wei?"
This Boss Wei naturally refers to Wei Yan. Among the princes of the various countries, each force has its own intelligence department. Among them are the "Anbu" led by Wei Yan under Qin Yang, the "Shadow Guards" under Wu King Sun Quan, the "Xiaoweiying" of Wei King Cao Cao, and the "Han Soul" of the Han Emperor Liu Bei.
Although these intelligence agencies all collect intelligence, they are each good at different things. Sun Quan's shadow guards were the best at assassination. Under Zhou Yu's training, these shadow guards traveled among various forces, specifically responsible for disrupting local order and launching assassinations. Its leader is Jiangdong general Lu Meng.
" And Cao Cao's Xiaowei Ying is good at digging graves. They collected intelligence everywhere, specialized in excavating large ancient tombs, and brought an almost endless supply of food, wages and supplies to Cao's army. The Xiaowei camp is directly under the command of Cao Cao, and the deputy commander is Cao Cao's confidant, Cao Ren.
The strongest part of Liu Bei¡¯s ¡°Han soul¡± is propaganda. Its propaganda methods can even make a matter that is completely groundless make the city full of uproar. Liu Bei is now able to hold power in the world and is known as a benevolent and righteous king.??, most of them are due to the Han soul. The leader of the Han soul is none other than Liu Bei's prodigy, Xu Shu, who is as resourceful as Zhuge Liang.
Among these four intelligence departments, only the Anbu led by Wei Yan under the Ming Empire of Qin Yang can be regarded as an intelligence department in the true sense. Under Wei Yan's many years of management, the ANBU's intelligence network has spread all over the world, and even the magic city of Jizhou has Wei Yan's informant. With the eyes and ears of Wei Yan, Qin Yang could know the world affairs and make the most accurate judgment and analysis.
Now that "Big Boss Wei" was mentioned, Tao Sheng and Bai Rao suddenly realized. Tao Sheng even laughed and said: "If Pang Sima hadn't pointed it out, I would still be worried about whether His Majesty would blame us. Now that His Majesty knows our plan, we should take action boldly."
Bai Rao also smiled and said: "General Tao is right, I lost more than a thousand brothers from the Shenji Battalion in this battle. Although those Shenji Crossbows are all fakes, I feel heartbroken when I see them."
Pang Tong listened to the conversation between the two and smiled without saying a word. Although Pang Tong held the position of Sima in the Ming Empire, he knew in his heart that Qin Yang had always had a grudge against him for helping Zhuge Liang. Therefore, Pang Tong did not dare to take risks like Jia Xu did with his troops. He was afraid that Qin Yang would blame himself for this. It wasn't until now that a stone in his heart fell to the ground. This time, since Qin Yang asked him to use his troops well, then he should use them well!
Thinking of this, Pang Tong's expression suddenly changed, he raised his palm and slammed the table, and shouted angrily: "Bai Rao! Don't think that I won't punish you because you are so powerful! Since His Majesty has already taken all the power of the three armies. Leave it in my hands. Regardless of victory or defeat, as long as Your Majesty does not remove me as commander-in-chief for one day, you will have to listen to my orders for one day!"
Pang Tong's sudden change of expression made Bai Rao, who was chatting and laughing, startled. After a moment, Bai Rao immediately changed his face, stood up and shouted: "Pang Tong! Who do you think you are? When I followed His Majesty in the Hanzhong expedition, where were you? Now you are using a chicken feather as a pawn. Ling Jian will be rampant when he succeeds, right? Okay, okay, okay! Then let's go to His Majesty to comment. It took His Majesty more than ten years to create the glory of Shenji Camp, but now it has been ruined by an incompetent person like you. I want to see more than a hundred divine machine crossbows. Are you still so arrogant when you are in front of His Majesty?"
Pang Tong¡¯s face was ashen and he said bitterly: ¡°Who do you think is incompetent?!¡±
Bai Rao's stubborn temper also came up, and he puffed up his chest and said: "I'm talking about you! You useless piece of trash! You only hide behind people and plot tricks! If it weren't for you and that Zhuge Liang, we, the Yellow Turban Army, wouldn't be far away. Go to southern Xinjiang and leave your hometown! You dare to be the Sima of the empire if you have no ability? Even a dog is better than you sitting there! I just despise you!"
"Hello" Pang Tong was ridiculed by Bai Lao and was so angry that he was shaking all over. After a while, he shouted loudly: "Come here! Pull this madman out and chop him down!"
The sergeants outside the tent had already heard the commotion inside the tent. Now, upon hearing Pang Tong's call, they rushed in with more than a dozen guards. But these guards just stood there, staring blankly at the three people in the tent. In fact, in the hearts of these soldiers. Because of Pang Tong's failure, they were more or less resentful. Now that Bai Rao was scolding Pang Tong, they felt very relieved.
"This. Thiswhat are you doing!" Tao Sheng saw the guards rushing in and hurriedly stood up to smooth things over.
"Lord Sima, General Bai was just impulsive and spoke without restraint. Please forgive me" Tao Sheng stopped in front of Bai Rao and said with an apologetic smile to Pang Tong.
"Huh! He's talking openly? I think he has no intention of being above the emperor!" Pang Tong snorted coldly, and no longer insisted on letting the guards take Bai Rao down. He seemed to still have some hesitation in his heart.
Bai Rao, however, did not give Pang Tong any face. He pointed at Pang Tong across Tao Sheng and said, "I don't have a king? You fucking fart! What kind of king are you?! I, Bai Rao, stand upright, and the only king is His Majesty Emperor Ming." That's all! What I just said is what I think in my heart! If you have the ability, you can kill me!"
"Do you think I don't dare?!" Pang Tong couldn't bear it any longer. He stood up suddenly and yelled at the guards at the door of the tent: "Do you all want to rebel?! Get this guy and pull him out. Dismember the body with random blades!¡±
"Wait!" Upon seeing this, Tao Sheng hurriedly stopped the guards who wanted to take action again. While pushing Bai Luo outside the tent, he begged Pang Tong: "Sir Ma, General Bai made a mistake while drunk, please forgive me Bai Rao, get out of here!"
Bai Rao, who was pushed out of the tent by Tao Sheng, still refused to give in. As he walked out, he yelled and cursed: "Pang Tong! Don't think that His Majesty listens to your sweet words, so you dare to do anything wrong! Let's wait and see! I am the general of the Shenji Battalion appointed by His Majesty. You have no right to kill me! I will go to His Majesty now to explain clearly what happened! Come here! All members of the Shenji Battalion gather, break up camp, and we go to Hangu Let¡¯s ask His Majesty for comment!¡±
Bai Rao gave an order, and the Shenji Battalion under his command immediately took action. In less than half an hour, Shenji Camp had alreadyBe prepared. Bai Rao was riding on his horse, looking in the direction of the Chinese army's tent, spitting fiercely, and said bitterly: "Pang Tong! Let's wait and see! The whole army listens to the order and sets off!"
During this period, Pang Tong sat in the tent and did not come out. At the entrance of the tent, Tao Sheng opened his hands and watched helplessly as the Shenji Camp team left the camp and walked away.
Hongpai, General's Mansion.
After listening to the scout's report, Lian Po, who had white hair and beard, couldn't help stroking his beard gently and said to himself: "Did the Shenji Camp escape? Is this news true?"
The scout hurriedly said: "Don't worry, General, this is absolutely true!"
Lian Po pondered for a moment, then suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Okay! Send an order to the entire army to prepare for battle!"
A demon army general on the side heard this and asked: "General, are we taking advantage of the weakness in Pang Tong's camp to attack the camp this time?"
Lian Po glanced at the short general next to him and said calmly: "Attack the camp? Don't you Japanese people use your brain to do things? Although the departure of the Shenji Battalion is indeed true, it is also likely to be Pang Tong's treacherous plan. If we go to attack the camp, wouldn't we fall into Pang Tong's treacherous plan?! Our target is naturally the Shenji Camp leaving the military camp! This time we intercept and kill him halfway. If the Shenji Camp does not arrive, it is a treacherous plan. If we arrive, we will Destroyed the Shenji Camp in one fell swoop. What does Pang Tong mean?!"
After hearing Lian Po¡¯s words, the little general acted as if he suddenly understood. He slapped his forehead and said with a smile on his face: "Yo Xi! The general is clever, far-sighted, and strategizing"
"Okay, what a verbose thing! Go and get ready!" Lian Po interrupted the little man's flattery very displeasedly, and muttered: "Yo Xi? You are so big! I know that Jili Gulu talks nonsense all day long. Really? When it comes to fighting, it's not even a piece of shit"
