    ———————————— Pang Tong nodded happily and said: “Okay, that’s very good.~ I will entrust this matter to Brother Zichu. Remember not to act hastily or expose your whereabouts. Otherwise, there will be a slight mistake.  Maybe we will be discovered by the Xiliang scouts, and all our previous efforts will be in vain, and we will be in a worrying situation." In fact, he wanted to say, "Let's stop the big thing," but he was worried that Liu Ba was under too much pressure and would be prone to making mistakes if he was cautious, so he solemnly warned him.  In addition, the wording is more reserved and reserved.  Liu Ba was not a mediocre person. He knew well that the mission and responsibility he shouldered was of great importance and he could not be careless in the slightest. He nodded solemnly: "I have made up my mind to live up to the trust of the military advisor. Please rest assured, military advisor!" Pang Tong smiled and nodded, and then shifted his gaze to Wei Yan.  , Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, then looked at Xu Shu and said with a smile: "Brother Yuanzhi will set off tonight. From now on, it will be very hard to travel day and night, sleep in the open air, and eat in the open air. I would like to thank you in advance, thank you for your hard work."  Hearing this, Xu Shu shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "How can we talk about hard work when we are earning a salary from the emperor? We blame ourselves for it, so we should do our best to fulfill our mission. You don't have to worry about it. When Brother Fool comes back, you will  The two of us will have a good time. Hahaha!" Pang Tong nodded in agreement: "In this case, I will wait here for my brother's good news. When my brother comes back after his success, I will give him a big feast.  All officers and men, please go to your Majesty to ask for credit for your brother." Xu Shu said with a smile: "How dare you take credit for something within your scope? Besides, if we want to succeed, we need the help of three generals, Wen Chang, Youping and Gong Yi.  It's okay for Xu to be a scholar, but he's too weak to fight on the battlefield!" After hearing Xu Shu's words.  Everyone in the tent laughed heartily, and Pang Tong couldn't help but point at him.  He smiled and said: "Brother Yuan Zhi's words are really too modest. Please note that being too modest is tantamount to deceiving oneself and others. It seems to be deliberately showing off. Not long ago, the Xiliang warrior Tie Sheng single-handedly killed four generals of our vanguard army.  , but was shot through the heart by brother Yuan Zhi, and then was killed by Liu Pan, Wenpin and other four generals. To this day, everyone in the army does not know that you, Xu Yuanzhi, are both civil and military.  He said, "Brother Yuan Zhi's background is unknown to others, but you can't hide it from me. Two years ago, you traveled around the Central Plains with a sword. You were a famous knight on the green forest road in Jingzhou. Your martial arts skills were comparable to those of a first-class military general."  It's because I know that Brother Yuanzhi is both civil and military, so I chose you to be the commander-in-chief and lead a lone army to the north." At this point, Pang Tong paused and did not continue. Instead, he said seriously: "This trip is really dangerous.  The army is advancing alone, and all along the way are the city passes under the jurisdiction of the Western Jin Dynasty, and there is no support or rescue. It is difficult to move forward. Therefore, my brother must be more careful and withdraw his troops immediately if nothing can be done.  Don't act out of anger and take risks alone." The smile on Xu Shu's face quickly faded.  His expression looked particularly solemn, and it was obvious that he was pretending to be relaxed just now.  In fact, he knew very well that his trip was very dangerous, and if he made any mistakes, his entire army would be wiped out and his life would be lost.  But he didn't want Pang Tong to worry about him and not affect the mood and fighting spirit of Wei Yan and the others, so he always greeted people with a smile and looked completely indifferent.  Now, since Pang Tong has made it clear the danger of this operation, Xu Shu no longer needs to pretend, and whispers with a solemn expression: "As Shi Yuan said, the journey north this time is very difficult. First of all, the whereabouts must not be exposed, and secondly  Yes, you cannot fight the Xiliang army before completing the mission; the last point is also the most difficult part, which is that you must fight all the way back. Only by fighting a bloody road can you return to the camp safely. " Pang Tong responded with the same feeling.  Said: "It is true. It is not easy for an army to go north alone, but it is even more difficult to return to the camp safely. Since the Northern Expedition, we have clearly seen that the Xiliang army has been fighting all year round, fighting tenaciously and fiercely.  The combat effectiveness is far superior to that of our Jingzhou Army. In just ten days, our army launched a surprise attack on the city, and then continued to attack the city non-stop. So far, our army has lost more than 60,000 troops, but the Xiliang Army has lost more than 60,000 troops.  But there were only more than 30,000 casualties. In such a surprise attack, our army's casualties were still twice that of the Xiliang army. If it were a head-on confrontation, the casualties would be almost unimaginable. From this, it is not difficult for Brother Yuan Zhi to foresee this.  This time he leads his army to the north. Even if he completes his mission, he will be chased and intercepted by the Xiliang army on the way back. The danger can be imagined." As he spoke, Pang Tong paused and sighed softly: "The army will retreat tonight.  In order to avoid the Xiliang army's scouts and spies, Brother Yuan Zhi led his army to set off at the same time as the army, leaving the army halfway and taking a detour to the north. This was the only thing Pang could do. Apart from that, it really couldn't help Yuan at all.  Brother Nao. To be fair, if our army had not been in urgent need of these horses and cavalry equipment, I would never have allowed Brother Yuan Zhi, Wen Chang and other generals to go deep into danger alone! " After he finished speaking, his eyesRegarding Wei Yan, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, Wei Yan said nonchalantly: "The military advisor does not need to worry. As a general, it is natural for us to charge into the battle. Even if it is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, what do we have to fear?" Zhou  When Tai and Jiang Qin heard this, their expressions changed, with a look of embarrassment on their faces, their eyes darting away. They wanted to speak several times, but they were unable to speak directly due to their status as guest soldiers.  Who are Pang Tong and Xu Shu?  How could we not see that Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were worried and wanted to withdraw several times, but found it difficult to do so?  However, the two of them pretended not to see it, ignored it, and waited for Zhou and Jiang to speak on their own, and then tried to make a move. Anyway, Jiangdong generals could not stay away from the matter.  On this point, the Jingzhou Army has already reached an agreement.  From Liu Biao to the leading commander, everyone knew that the Jiangdong Army must be firmly tied to the Jingzhou Army's chariot no matter what. Both sides would be prosperous and suffer losses, and they were determined not to allow the Jiangdong Army to stay out of the matter and preserve its strength.  It is for this purpose that the commander of the Northern Expedition was Huang Zu, but he deliberately gave up the positions of two deputy commanders to Jiangdong generals.  At the same time, Jiangdong generals were appointed as deputy generals in both the vanguard and rear armies, and took care of them in arranging camps and supplying food and grass. They have never been sent to attack the city since the beginning of the war.  Even so, the Jiangdong Army and the Jingzhou Army were still not of the same mind. They always regarded themselves as guest troops. They never said a word when discussing matters in the commander's tent and never took the initiative to arrange operations.  If someone who didn't know the inside story saw this situation, they would definitely think that the Jiangdong soldiers were just bystanders, or a battlefield observation group, and their relationship with the Jingzhou Army was at best a friendly or allied force. It would be impossible to think that the Jiangdong Army had already surrendered.  Liu Biao's subordinates are from the same family as the Jingzhou Army and have a subordinate relationship.  As expected, seeing that Pang Tong and Xu Shu did not answer Wei Yan's words at all, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin looked at each other and reached a consensus with their eyes facing each other.  Then Zhou Tai tried his best to suppress his emotions, bowed his hands and saluted, and said in a calm tone: "Military advisor, please, the general and Gong Yi have not received the military order from the young master, so the two of us cannot go north with the army, and it is difficult to obey the order. Please also ask the military advisor."  Forgive me, don't embarrass the general." Pang Tong was not surprised at all when he heard this. He smiled calmly and said: "General Youping, there is no need to be polite. You and I are ministers in the same palace, and we are both your Majesty's ministers. Don't do this in the future.  "How polite. Pang has been busy with military affairs these days and has neglected the two generals. I hope you can forgive me for being so busy. It's really inappropriate for you to forget about such a big thing!"  , Pang Tong stood up and bowed his hands, apologizing to Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin.  When Zhou Tai saw this, he quickly reached out to help him and avoided Pang Tong. At this moment, he and Jiang Qin looked a little flustered and felt vaguely uneasy.  After all, Pang Tonggui was a military advisor and was in charge of the entire army. How could he salute and apologize to them for no reason? Even if he had really done something wrong to them, there was no need to apologize. At most, he could inform them afterwards and that would be the end of his kindness.  But now the sun is really coming out in the west, what a weird thing!  "The military advisor must not do this. How dare the two generals accept the courtesy of the military advisor? I wonder if the important matter mentioned by the military advisor is related to the two of us?" Zhou Tai asked in an uneasy respectful voice.  Pang Tong nodded with a smile and said: "General Youping is really good, he guessed it right. I think the two generals don't know that half a month ago, your Majesty sent an envoy to Jiangdong, and the acting eldest son Liu Qi asked for a hand in marriage. A year later, he married the King of Wu.  My aunt Sun Ren (Sun Shangxiang) is my wife. On the wedding day, Your Majesty will confer the eldest son the title of Prince of Jiangxia. At that time, Sun will be the princess." "Ah!" Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were shocked when they heard this. They immediately looked at each other and lost their voices in unison.  Said: "How is it possible that the young lady is marrying Liu Qi's eldest son?" The reason why they were so surprised was because they had seen Liu Qi with their own eyes not long ago.  The young man in his twenties has sunken eye sockets and two dark circles under his eyes. He is as skinny as a stick and walks lightly. At a glance, you can tell that he is a drunkard and looks like he died young.  How could such a weakling be worthy of the alluring Miss Sun Ren?  After being interrupted for no reason by Zhou and Jiang, Pang Tong was not angry, but still smiled and said: "According to the news from the sentry cavalry, Wu Guotai (Sun Jian's wife, Sun Shao's grandmother) has agreed to this marriage.  They became close to his Majesty and became a family. At this point, Jiangdong and Jingzhou truly became a family. It was for this reason that King Wu once again sent an additional 50,000 troops across the river and gave them full control until this time.  Until the victory of the Northern Expedition, the King of Wu has given Pang full authority to command the army. From then on, the two generals Youping and Gongyi and even all the Jiangdong soldiers participating in the war will be dispatched by me. The King of Wu will not interfere with any troop dispatch, at least.  The King of Wu will not intervene in military affairs until the end of the Northern Expedition." Having said this, Pang Tong's smile became brighter. He looked at Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin with a smile, and asked with a smile: "Do you have any questions, generals?  It doesn't matter what you say, Pang will definitely answer all questions and will never let the two generals down." After hearing this, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin looked sad and said softly.He bowed his head to show that he had accepted the order, and immediately stood up and left the commander's tent dejectedly.  After they left, the discussion in the commander's tent was also over. The Chinese army officers and soldiers had already set off and retreated to Xiping'ao to set up camp.  ————————————To be continued——————————————————————(To be continued please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster  !
