Chapter 547: Pang Statistics
Chapter 547: Pang Tong’s plan (third update)
A moment later, the spy brought back the news from the front, a news that was not too unexpected but even more desperate.
Liu Feng's army had entered the city, and the king's flag began to change at the top of the city.
The northern banners such as "Cao", "Xu" were all taken away, and those who were replaced were "Chu", "Zhao", "Xu".
What shocked Liu Bei even more was that the spy reported that there were no corpses outside the city gate and that there were no signs of fighting between the two sides, as if Xu Huang had surrendered.
This is simply incredible.
But behind this incredible, there is something even more embarrassing to Liu Bei. What exactly should they do?
"At present, only one person can save us." Zhuge Liang raised his head and sighed to Liu Bei, who was anxiously similar to the ant on the hot pan.
"Who?" Liu Bei, who was almost in despair, suddenly shouted at Zhuge Liang as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.
Even Guan Yu was attracted by Zhuge Liang's words and looked up at Zhuge Liang.
"Zhang Yide." Zhuge Liang said softly, perhaps feeling a little ashamed. When Zhuge Liang said these three words, he turned his face away and did not look at Liu Bei.
Now that things have come, the war is no longer possible. Liu Bei has almost no chance of winning. He can only play the family card and let Zhang Fei go and lobby Liu Feng.
Speaking of which, Zhang Fei is also the only bargaining chip that Liu Bei has in his hand. Apart from Zhang Fei, no one from Liu Bei's power can handle this important task.
Liu Bei and Guan Yu's face suddenly became extremely ugly. He sent Zhang Fei to Liu Feng to plead with him, which made it difficult for Liu Bei and Guan Yu to accept.
"Lord, now I can't get in. It's time for life and death. There are not many other choices. But Zhang Yide is the only option to reduce the loss of power to the lowest level. Look, when Zhang Yide was seriously ill, Jiang Wan sent Zhang Zhongjing to treat it. It can be seen how close Liu Feng and Zhang Fei are. If Zhang Fei spoke, Liu Feng might have a good time." Zhuge Liang said bitterly.
"But Liu Feng is already dead, dead in Jiangdong." Guan Yu, who was standing beside him, defended.
"Liu Feng was killed. When they entered the city, could they shout General Yang Wu's slogan? And Pang Tong, Xu Shu and others could enter Jiangling? All these mysteries show that Sun Quan not only harmed his own commander Zhou Yu, but also accepted the only few remaining powerful generals, but even us were all killed together. Liu Feng was not killed by him at all." To be honest, Zhuge Liang wanted to strangle Sun Quan to death at Jiangdong.
It’s all because of this confident person who has released false information. But the most urgent task is to tell Zhuge Liang how to help Liu Bei escape now.
Zhuge Liang's answer made Guan Yu silent. Indeed, based on the shouting just now, it was enough to prove that Liu Feng was still alive and lived well.
But this is not a reason to let Zhang Fei go.
"Liu Feng, this guy. I admit that I misread him before, and thought that the only one who let him go was just a dove, but now I know that it was a goshawk. I can float above the nine heavens and soar into the world. It is a hero. But because of this, I cannot believe him. Zhang Fei may not be able to persuade this hero. I am afraid that the result will be that the persuasion failed and he left Zhang Fei in Liu Feng's camp for vain." Liu Bei pondered for a long time and sighed.
"There is no way. With our current strength, we can only beg our friends to let us go." Zhuge Liang also looked unwilling, but he said incredibly decadently.
"And I have thought that even if Zhang Fei persuaded me, Liu Feng would instead ask Zhang Fei to keep him. With Zhang Fei's personality, would he stay in Liu Feng's camp? He must be back to his lord's side. Don't worry that Zhang Fei would stay in Liu Feng's camp." Zhuge Liang immediately said.
Zhuge Liang's words made Liu Bei excited. Just as Zhuge Liang said, he just sent Zhang Fei to lobby. He didn't mean to really send Zhang Fei to Liu Feng's side.
Anyway, there is no loss, no trial.
Liu Bei suddenly felt a little moved, but he was still a little hesitant. He couldn't help but ask: "Didn't Kong Ming say, are there still a few roads? What's left?"
"A general left behind is either Yun Chang or Chen Dao. He asked them to lead a thousand people to guard the camp to confuse Liu Feng and make him think that the lord had not left yet. The lord led nine thousand people to run away at night. What is left depends on whether Liu Feng is smart enough. Can you tell that the camp is actually only one thousand people left by Chen Dao." Zhuge Liang shook his head and said.
This strategy cannot be used unless it is absolutely necessary. Guan Yu, Chen Da, and now Liu Bei's generals are only these people. Even if Chen Dao is sacrificed, it will be an irreparable loss. What's more, he has to deal with a thousand soldiers in vain.
"If Liu Feng had seen through our plan at a glance, wouldn't he send Zhao Yun to dispatch cavalry to chase us? When encountering cavalry in the wilderness, the entire army would definitely be wiped out." Liu Bei was obviously dissatisfied with the plan and said.
"So, send General Zhang first, if you don't have to think about it," Zhuge Liang nodded.
Liu Bei's hesitation immediately decreased a lot. Anyway, it would be no harm to send Zhang Fei over to try it.
"Okay, I'll send someone to Yiling to summon Yide to come. This time, I'll be Goujian." Finally, Liu Bei gritted his teeth and said.
In Xu Shu's camp, Liu Feng, Xu Shu, Shamoke, Zhao Yun, and Li Yan, whose injuries were relieved after the bandage were completed, were all there.
After occupying Jiangling City last night, Liu Feng left the city and handed over the city to Wenpin for management.
Wen Pin was the first general under Liu Biao in the past. He had some prestige in Jiangling City and could win the hearts of the people. He was a suitable guardian in Jiangling.
At present, Liu Feng's army is stepping up the benefits brought by this war. The surrendered soldiers captured by Zhou Yu, the 1 omnipotent warriors in Xu Huang's hands, and thousands of wounded soldiers.
What is the sum of it, and it has not been calculated yet. But without thinking, there will be many.
Defeat Zhou Yu and seize Jiangling. Liu Feng had already perfectly made Wancheng the first step in this northern expedition. Now only Liu Bei and Gan Ning in the East were left, and what was the situation of Pang Tong?
Pang Tong was attacking Calcium City, and the defending general of Calcium City was Cheng Pu, the last remaining veteran in Jiangdong, which was extremely difficult to chew. Gan Ning was facing the old general Zhou Tai, which was also a headache.
"As long as they can win, the plan can continue. Pang Tong will join us in Jiangling City to fight north to Xiangyang together. Ganning will also return by boat and go to Xiangjiang, and use navy troops to strait the river to cut off the connection between Xiangyang and the north. As long as we attack Liu Bei here, this northern expedition will reach the second step and break through Xiangyang." Liu Feng, who was sitting high in the first position, said with great enthusiasm.
Just as Liu Feng said, this step was quite complete. Liu Feng was also satisfied with capturing Xu Huang alive, conquering Jiangling, and defeating Zhou Yu.
"Liu Bei has no problem, he is alone. As long as he keeps his eyes on it, there will be no major problems." Xu Shu said immediately.
"Well, send more spies here, whether it is day or night, stare at them, if there is any movement." As he said that, Liu Feng looked up at Zhao Yun and said, "Zilong, you can lead the troops to chase him."
"No." Xu Shu, Zhao Yun responded to the promise.
"Now, it depends on Pang Shiyuan and Gan Xingba." After the order was issued, Liu Feng felt that there was no mistake and couldn't help but smile.

Calcium City.
The city walls were filled with traces of war, blood, and swords. In just a few months, the city experienced three wars.
First, Liu Bei occupied this city to resist Cao Cao, then Zhou Yu attacked this city, and finally, Pang Tong attacked this city.
After Pang Tong came nearby, he did not rush to attack.
Instead, the army was divided into four parts, blocking the four city gates. They did not engage in transactions that were surrounded by three and one missing. They just blocked them and waited for news from Liu Feng.
And, the capital that Liu Feng can provide.
At noon that day, Pang Tong got what he wanted as he wished.
"General, the Dubrew newspaper said that the news of the lord has arrived, and there are also Huang Gai, Zhu Zhi, Lu Dai, Han Dang's heads, and hundreds of surrendered soldiers from Jiangdong." Pang Tong's chief clerk, Ma Su hurriedly walked in and reported.
There was an incomparable smile on his face.
I have been here for a few days and am impatient to wait. Now there is finally news. It is time to attack Calcium City.
"Oh, is Jiangling also broken?" Although they were all expected, Pang Tong still showed a little joy and asked.
"It's broken, capture Xu Huang alive." Ma Su said with admiration.
The title on the lord is indeed not a good idea. General Yang Wu is indeed powerful in martial arts. He defeated Zhou Yu in one day and one night and captured Xu Huang alive.
Extremely strong.
"Okay, take out the heads of Huang Gai, Han Dang and other four people and give them to Cheng Pu, the guard general in the city. I believe that Cheng Pu should recognize these Jiangdong generals. He ordered hundreds of surrendered soldiers to sing Wu songs to make the guard general in the city clear that Zhou Yu in Jiangdong has been defeated and the famous general is dead. There is nowhere to go, only by effectively ordering our master can we have a way out." After hearing this, Pang Tong immediately ordered.
This is Pang Tong’s plan.
In this era, people generally respect generals, especially military generals. However, they are not unable to cut off the heads of enemy generals and make plans.
Just like Guan Yu was brave throughout his life, and countless people respected him. But he was beheaded by Sun Quan.
Pang Tong also believed that the heads of Han Dang, Huang Gai, Zhu Zhi and Lu Dai could cause a shock to the defenders and soldiers in the city.
Let them know that they are just pitiful troops who are far away from their hometown and trapped in the city.
In addition, surrendered soldiers sang Wu songs from all sides, giving these guards a feeling of survival, and surrender.
Pang Tong believed that he could take down Calcium City without bloodshed.
What Pang Tong believes in is that wars that can be solved with strategies will never need to fight head-on.
Therefore, Pang Tong reserved the head of Jiangdong's general from Liu Feng early, and thought that Zhou Yu's head could be borrowed.
Zhou Yu's head is truly useful.
However, it is enough to have these four generals now.
"At most three days, this city will be destroyed without attacking." Pang Tong raised his head, looked towards the direction of Calcium City, and said confidently. (To be continued.
