    ———————————— With the generals arguing endlessly, the big tent was noisy. Huang Zuzhi, who was sitting on the commander’s seat, frowned and was about to stop shouting.  Pang Tong shook his head slightly, signaling him to be calm and calm.  ↖Immediately, Pang Tong walked to the handsome case and whispered softly to Huang Zu. After hearing this, Huang Zu nodded frequently, stroking his beard and smiling without saying a word.  While the generals were whispering and discussing, the generals sitting at the front of the commander's tent were sitting upright, looking at their noses and hearts, squinting their eyes and keeping silent.  But Wenpin glanced at the generals who advocated withdrawal from time to time, with contempt and coldness in his eyes; Liu Pan closed his eyes and fell asleep, as if turning a blind eye to the arguments around him; Wei Yan looked at the generals with his head raised and squinted, glancing at the generals from time to time.  Taking a look at Pang Tong who was whispering to Huang Zu, a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes, and he followed Liu Pan's example and closed his eyes to rest.  Among the people in the tent, the ones with the most relaxed expressions were Xu Shu, who joined the army, Liu Ba, the army chief, and Li Yan, who was sitting at the door of the commander's tent.  I saw Xu Shu drinking by himself leisurely and leisurely, with a calm look on his face; Liu Ba didn't like drinking, so there was a pot of tea on the table. At this moment, he was free to play with the tea art, so he picked up a cup of tea and smelled the fragrance.  Close your eyes and be intoxicated, then take a sip of tea and savor it carefully.  Unlike the two of them, Li Yan, who was sitting at the end of the handsome tent, neither drank nor drank tea. Instead, he leaned on the pillar at the door and shook his head and dozed off.  Compared with the high-spirited discussion of the Jingzhou generals, the Jiangdong generals seemed very quiet. They drank and looked around, seemingly enjoying the lively atmosphere and enjoying themselves.  Obviously, they have already seen that Pang Tong is based on war.  From beginning to end, he showed no intention of retreating.  Just now he deliberately followed Han Song's words and talked about withdrawing troops, which was nothing more than sophistry and deception.  The purpose is to make the generals completely give up the idea of ??withdrawing their troops and unite as one.  Fight against the army of the Western Jin Dynasty.  "Generals, be quiet. Can you allow Pang Tong to say a few words?" The voice was not high and the tone was casual. But the moment Pang Tong spoke, the commander's tent suddenly became quiet. It seemed that the generals had been waiting for him to speak.  In other words, giving orders.  “Obviously, the more than 30 generals present in the tent are all sensible people. They clearly know that the nominal commander of the army is Huang Zu.  But it was military advisor Pang Tong who was actually in charge of the army.  In addition, Huang Zu had just expressed his position in public, undoubtedly telling the generals straightforwardly that military power had been handed over to Pang Tong. Huang Zu, including himself, must obey the orders of the military advisor, and his generals were no exception.  In other words, when the army faced difficulties, Huang Zu and Pang Tong completed the transfer of power. Huang Zu surrendered military power, and the entire army obeyed Pang Tong's orders.  Seeing that there was silence in the handsome tent.  Pang Tong nodded lightly, with a smile on his face, and said in a calm voice: "In half a day at most, the Western Jin army will arrive at Wancheng. By then, the enemy's troops will be twice as many as our Han army, so withdrawing at this time is undoubtedly for the sake of peace.  It's too late, it's impossible. Since we can't retreat, we can only fight head-on. Isn't it better to be chased and killed by the Xiliang cavalry? " "The military advisor agrees.  Liu Pan, who had just closed his eyes and fell asleep, was the first to echo.  Liu Pan was the most beautiful, so Wei Yan naturally refused to lag behind: "General, I second the proposal. I am willing to listen to the military advisor's orders!" "We have no objections, and we will listen to the military advisors' orders!" All the generals bowed their hands and saluted, and responded in unison.  The overall situation has been decided, all the generals are unanimous, the talk of withdrawing troops has disappeared, and they are unanimous in taking the lead in the battle.  This is the result Pang Tong hopes to see.  When facing battle, it is most taboo to have disagreements among generals.  If the generals in charge of the army hold their own opinions, it will inevitably lead to unrest among the officers and soldiers under their command. They will have no fighting spirit and no fighting spirit. How can they not be defeated?  What Pang Tong did was to stop the generals from thinking about withdrawing their troops and make them feel the severe situation they were facing. They worked together and united as one. They risked their lives and survived, and the sad soldiers were bound to win.  Now, this goal has been achieved. At least the goal has been unified and the morale of the military has been gathered. This is the basis for defeating the enemy.  "Pang is grateful for the trust of all the generals, but it would be disrespectful to do so." Seeing the generals sitting at attention, Pang Tong said politely, and then said loudly: "As Zhuge Liang led the reinforcements to Wancheng, the situation of the war reversed; before  It was our army that took the initiative and attacked the city all the way, but from now on, we have to switch from offense to defense, shrink our troops, set up camp, and always be on guard against the Xiliang army's sneak attack and robbery of the camp. " Having said this, Pang Tong smiled slightly and said.  : "Generals, don't be discouraged, let alone lose heart. Defense does not mean that we have no power to fight back and are allowed to be slaughtered by the Xiliang army. There is an inherent law in battles since ancient times. This is the decline of one and the growth of the other. The strong attacks the weak.  Defend. At present, our troops are weak and far less powerful than the Xiliang army. Naturally, we must take a defensive position and must not act rashly to prevent the enemy from taking advantage. In addition, all the cities captured by our army must be withdrawn and all the troops and horses that have been dispersed must be withdrawn.  , leaving only three roads leading to Fancheng.? The city is just a matter of ensuring the smooth supply of food, grass and baggage for our army.  ” After saying this, Pang Tong clearly saw that the generals were showing reluctance. They were obviously unwilling to give up the city they had already obtained, or perhaps there was still money in the city that they had forcibly plundered that had not yet been transferred out. Therefore, he was in a dilemma, but he did not dare.  There was public opposition. Seeing this, Pang Tong suddenly turned to Liu Pan and asked: "Where is the follow-up army now and when can it meet with our army?"  " Liu Pan was not surprised at all after hearing this, and immediately replied: "At noon, the sentries came to report that the follow-up army has now arrived in Xinye, and it will take at most two days to join our army.  "After finishing speaking, Liu Pan looked at the general who had just shouted to withdraw his troops with disdain. At this time, Xu Shu, who had not spoken just now, lost his voice and said in surprise: "We also have reinforcements?  It’s so hard for the military advisor to hide this from me!  If we had known there would be reinforcements, why would we have feared them?  "This sentence has reached the hearts of the generals. Since there are reinforcements, why retreat? Sure enough, when they heard that reinforcements were coming from the rear, the generals were in high spirits and high spirits. They looked high-spirited and refreshed. They were keenly aware that the generals were  The general's expression changed, and Pang Tong gave Xu Shu a very strange look, which only the two of them could understand. Then he smiled enigmatically: "It's not that Pang deliberately concealed it from the generals, but the nature of the follow-up army.  We were part of this Northern Expedition, but our departure time was a little later. When we led the army to launch an attack on Nanyang County, it was the time for His Majesty to mobilize an army of 200,000 troops to come for reinforcements.  All generals know that in order to prevent the Southern Han Dynasty from joining forces with the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Western Jin Dynasty has always stationed heavy troops in Sili territory, with a total strength of no less than 300,000.  Facing the heavily defended Sili, no matter how arrogant I, Pang Tong, am, I will not dare to attack Nanyang County with more than 100,000 soldiers and horses?  Therefore, in order to ensure the success of the Northern Expedition, His Majesty mobilized 80,000 Jiangdong Army and 250,000 Jingzhou Army to form the Northern Expedition Army. He only kept it secret because he was worried that the Western Jin Dynasty would detect the military situation in advance.  In addition, it will take some time to mobilize an army of more than 300,000 people to join the war, and it will also take time to raise food and supplies. Therefore, we led an army of more than 100,000 people to take the first step, and the follow-up army will arrive soon.  " After a little explanation, Pang Tong's expression suddenly changed, and he said solemnly: "The reinforcements will arrive in two days. During this period, we will avoid their sharp edges, stick to the camp, and avoid fighting.  Do the generals have any objections to this?  " Liu Ba, the chief of the army, responded and said: "The military advisor is very kind. As far as I know, the military advisor and Zhuge Liang had a close personal relationship in the past. They were classmates for more than ten years and they were like brothers.  I heard that during the Warring States Period, King Chong'er of the Jin State was at war with the Chu army. He kept his promise and retreated ninety miles before starting the war.  Nowadays, our country, the Southern Han Dynasty, is a country of etiquette and has never been rude to others. This time the military advisors meet their old friends on the battlefield. Although they are each their own masters, they cannot ignore the old friendship.  "So." At this point, Liu Ba stopped talking and did not continue. Pang Tong frowned slightly after hearing this. After thinking for a moment, he sighed softly: "It doesn't matter, Pang is three years older than Kong next year. I remember the past friendship."  , this time he retreated thirty miles to restore friendship with his fellow disciples.  Then the siege officers were ordered to withdraw their troops. The Chinese army's camp then moved ten miles back and set up camp at Xiping'ao. They also sent envoys to submit a letter of war. In addition to stating this, the two armies will fight to a decisive battle in twenty days!  "    "ah!  "The generals in the tent were surprised when they heard the sound, and they all turned their attention to Pang Tong. A decisive battle between the two armies was inevitable. After all, in such a large-scale battle, sooner or later, a decisive battle would begin. What really surprised the generals was that Pang Tong took care of his division.  It would be too childish to ask the army to retreat thirty miles because of the friendship between the same clan. However, the generals recognized Pang Tong as the actual commander-in-chief of the three armies, because he was a person who valued love and righteousness. This alone was enough.  In an instant, dozens of pairs of eyes were fixed on Pang Tong, but Pang Tong turned a blind eye and waved his hand and ordered: "Tonight, the Chinese army camp will retreat ten miles, and the siege army will retreat thirty miles.  Go down and get ready.  " "No!  " Seeing Pang Tong's determined expression, all the generals did not dare to say anything. They all stood up to leave and quickly left the commander's tent. After a while, the commander's tent became quiet again. At this time, there were seven people left in the tent, namely: Huang Zu  , Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Liu Ba, Wei Yan, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin "Thank you two brothers for your help, otherwise I will not be able to show my shame in public for the first time.  "Watching the generals leaving, Pang Tong bowed his hands to Xu Shu and Liu Ba and saluted. "It's just a small effort, why do you need to say thank you?  "Xu and Liu said politely. Immediately, the seven people sat down under the tent. Pang Tong sat at the top right, Huang Zu sat opposite, Xu Shu and Liu Ba sat at the bottom of Pang Tong, and the three generals of Wei Yan sat down next to Huang Zu.  At this time, Pang Tong asked Liu Ba: "Is the Xiping'ao camp ready?  Liu Ba was not good at words and responded: "Don't worry, military advisor, everything is ready. We can enter the camp tonight."  After the army left, construction started here overnight.It will not be a problem to hide five thousand soldiers before dawn tomorrow. Then they will rest during the day and start digging late at night. The mission can be completed within half a month.  ” ————————————To be continued——————————————————(To be continued please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!  ps: [Sincere thanks to the book friend "Eastern Chrysanthemum" for the monthly ticket support, thank you very much]
