Chapter 349: Save or not save

"Brother, let's attack in!" Zhang Fei took back his spear and looked at Liu Mangjun who was shouting on the city wall and shouting.

Attack?! There is still a possibility. "Third brother, don't be reckless!" Liu Bei also wanted to attack. Seeing Shouchun who had obtained it, he gave in. Now he gave in. Liu Bei was unwilling to accept it. Shouchun City had already arrived by Liu Mang and reinforcements. It was impossible for Liu Bei's army to deceive the city wall by coaxing tricks. Zhang Xiu's army was besieged behind. Even if it attacked fiercely, it would take time. If Zhang Xiu was finished and was attacked by two groups, Liu Bei would also be in trouble.

"Military advisor, look at this?" Liu Bei still looked at Pang Tong with hope. It was Pang Tong who gave him the plan to dominate the Central Plains, and it was Pang Tong that made him Liu Bei fight such a battle. It can be said that Pang Tong has become a person who relies on Liu Bei, so now a bad situation has emerged. The first thing Liu Bei thought of was to seek help from Pang Tong and ask Pang Tong to give him advice.

But Liu Bei was destined to be disappointed. Pang Tong thought hard for a long time and could only shake his head. The current situation was no longer a solution. In the face of absolute strength, all strategies were in vain. "Lord, let's make a long-term plan!"

"Oh!" Liu Bei sighed and said, "Let's go! Go back to Yuzhou quickly!" Even if he was unwilling to accept this, he could do this again! Liu Bei is already forty, how many forty in his life are in his life? The ancients were thirty years old and became middle-aged. He was really unable to afford it. Liu Bei's eyes were very dull. He originally won Shouchun and got Yangzhou and Yuzhou wanted to join forces. Subjugate Zhang Xiu. Later, he could dominate the Central Plains and win the world. But now Sun Ce in Jiangdong didn't know what happened, so that Lu Bu, Lujiang, released a cage. Zhang Xiu tens of thousands of heavily armored cavalry were besieged. Shouchun was delayed again.

If he couldn't take it down, Liu Bei's food route was cut off again. It was already difficult to take down Shouchun. Even if he got most of Yangzhou, he had to give in. How could Liu Bei not be sad? Fortunately, Liu Bei had failed a lot, so his psychological quality was much better than that of ordinary people. As the saying goes, a wise man would have a mistake, and a fool would have a gain. Even if he was a fool, he should have a gain! So Liu Bei took a deep breath and quickly recovered his expression. This mental attitude of seeing failure is very thorough and not being able to completely attack failure is also why Liu Bei could get a share in the future battle for hegemony.

"Lord!" Pang Tong was also observing Liu Bei, feeling sad about Liu Bei's depression. Pang Tong was also clenching his fists. As a strategist, he should solve his problems for his lord! But now he looked at him step by step and ran towards a dead end, which made Pang Tong very guilty. Liu Bei's rapid recovery also made Pang Tong feel more and more that he had met a wise master, but the timing was wrong. "Lord, I will definitely let the world be won, I, Pang Tong, swear!" Feng Chu's eyes became more and more firm.

"Let's go, let's go, let's go! I've been here for so long and have been wasting so much strength and I won't get anything in the end! Why would I let my old Zhang accompany my second brother to drink with me in Runan?" Zhang Fei felt very unrestless and couldn't help but sarcastically, while saying, looking at Pang Tong who did not name a name, but this kind of targeting was beyond words and was unconcealed at all.

"Third brother, say a few words!" Although Liu Bei was also disappointed with Pang Tong's lack of strategy, he also knew that Pang Tong had tried his best. Who would have thought that this variable could be so great? It was originally agreed that Sun Ce of Jiangdong delayed Lu Bu in Lujiang, and they even ambushed and destroyed the Bingzhou wolf cavalry. But now Jiangdong doesn't know what happened, and Lu Bu's tiger was out of the cage. Liu Mang's army, which should have been hundreds of miles away, also appeared in Shouchun City, which completely interrupted Liu Bei's army's strategy. "Let your troops prepare to detach the camp!"

"Lord, the third general is right. How can we not get the same after coming for so long?" Pang Tong took a deep breath. He was not a person who would easily admit defeat. Liu Bei's army started in Yuzhou and fought for so long. The money and food consumed were already the limit of Yuzhou. If he could not get anything, then what face would Pang Tong have to stay with Liu Bei's army? "So we cannot withdraw now?"

"Can't withdraw? Shi Yuan, don't do anything to lose the big ones because of the small loss and lose the mind by anger!" Liu Bei dissuaded him. Although he was sad about not being able to get Shouchun, he also knew it was impossible. He was afraid that Pang Tong would lose his mind and do something stupid.

"Don't worry, lord, Tong has his own plan!" Pang Tong smiled and calmed Liu Bei's heart.

"Okay, let's withdraw Shiyuan first and then make plans for the long term!" Liu Bei nodded. Failure is not scary. Liu Bei lost few times, so he was very open about failure. He and Liu Bei were very open-minded. He had to comfort Pang Tong with a person who had experienced it. Now Zhang Xiu's army was ambushed in front. No matter what, Zhang Xiu had nearly 10,000 people. Even if he killed, he would have to let Lu Bu's army kill him for a while. With such a skill, their Liu Bei army should have thirty-six strategies to move forward, so that they can minimize the losses.

Liu Bei deserves to be Liu Pao to this level. The first thing he thought of was to escape, preparing to let Zhang Fei and Liao Hua lead 5,000 Qingzhou soldiers and the Yellow Turban Army in Yuzhou break the back. He was ambushed and delayed time by Zhang Xiu. As long as the white-eared heavy armor in his hand was still there, Liu Bei would have a comeback.

"Lord, we can retreat, but we must take Zhang Xiu together!" Pang Tong directly rejected Liu Bei's suggestion to withdraw his troops directly.

"They are all stupid and stupid in their studies. I didn't expect that the black man would also be stupid in their studies!" Zhang Fei could not stop at all. The irony was that Zhang Fei had such a fat black man in the army. The war had completely changed. He had to consider this and that everywhere, which made him very unhappy. Zhang Fei said that he would just pull out the troops and do Shouchun. However, this fat black man was afraid that the soldiers would lose too much, and they were afraid that there would be insufficient food and grass. He wanted to play with the unbeatable battle and defeat the soldiers. Now he had a good time and had no money. "What's the benefit of taking Zhang Baibei!"

It was originally necessary to retreat! He also had to take Zhang Xiu to retreat together! Their Liu Bei's army and Zhang Xiu were in a half-cent relationship. Even if they were allies, they were Liu Bei who had always served the old men with delicious food and drink. Even Liu Pi, a man, was killed because of this fat black man to comfort Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Baiwei is Zhang Xiu. Zhang Fei’s logic is that those who are whiter than him are all whiter. For example, Zhao Yun, Xu Shu and Zhang Xiu. And those who are darker than him are naturally blackswords, such as Pang Tong.

Pang Tong accepted the benefits of Zhang Xiu? Liu Bei was the first one who didn't believe it because he knew Pang Tong's character. Although he had not joined Liu Bei's army for a long time, he was devoted to giving advice to him, Liu Bei, and even almost lost his life for Liu Bei. Therefore, Pang Tong could not betray Liu Bei. It was even more impossible to say that the benefits were taken away? It was even more impossible. Because Liu Bei's army was much richer than Zhang Xiu's army, Pang Tong even took care of the allocation of food and grass. If he wanted to be corrupt, he could have started to do it long ago, instead of taking risks to accept Zhang Xiu's benefits. Pang Tong must have his reasons for saying this.

"If the third brother dares to say more, I will forbid you not to drink for a month!" Liu Bei frowned. Zhang Fei felt uncomfortable. You can say that Pang Tong and Liu Bei could also complain. This was also a spur for Pang Tong, but you said it over and over again, that was a provocation. Zhang Fei is his general and his third brother, and Pang Tong is also the number one strategist in his army. He is also Liu Bei's right-hand man. Liu Bei hopes that these two people can cooperate with each other and hold each other hostage can help him, Liu Bei expand his territory and build a country for him, rather than fighting each other.

"If you don't say it, don't say it!" Zhang Fei was like a child. Drinking was the greatest pleasure of Zhang Fei. If you didn't let him drink, it would be better to kill him, Zhang Fei, so Zhang Fei immediately covered up his drums.

"Lord, this Zhang Xiu is what we can get in this attack on Yangzhou. Moreover, we are saved, and we must save it!" Pang Tong didn't care about Zhang Fei's ridicule, because he knew that Zhang Fei was a reckless man. If anyone made him unhappy, he would naturally take revenge. Pang Tong didn't dare to fight, so he could only rely on saying sarcastic words.

"Must be saved?" Liu Bei frowned. The price of saving Zhang Xiu was not small. First, Zhang Xiu was ambushed now. Who knows how many ambushed soldiers were? The enemy was dark and we were clear. Moreover, being able to ambush Zhang Xiu nearly 10,000-strong cavalry, so it means that there are many enemies, and it may even be more troops than Liu Bei. That is a tough battle. Where is Lu Bu's combat power in Lujiang? Liu Bei has fought with Lu Bu. Which of his Zhang Liao Gaoshun is easy to deal with?

Yes, although the eight generals are Zhang Liao and Zang Ba, this is also a process of striving for excellence! The strength of Lu Bu's army will not be reduced, but will be better. If Liu Bei goes to save Zhang Xiu, he will definitely face Lu Bu. It would be good that he can save Zhang Xiu. If someone doesn't do it well and get himself in, it will be over. So Liu Bei will run away in a sideways. What benefits can Zhang Xiu get! A broken Western Liang Iron Cavalry?

"Lord, are our food and grass enough?!" Pang Tong was very calm. He wanted to plan the last plan for Yangzhou for Liu Bei, so Pang Tong took everything into consideration. Pang Tong was called the Phoenix Tseng and Wolong together with Zhuge Liang. It was not a false reputation. Pang Tong did have the capital to compete with Zhuge Liang. One of these two people commanded tens of thousands of naval troops in Jingzhou, one of them was less than ten thousand of them among the 70,000 Jingzhou naval troops, and the other was also a guest of honor for Liu Bei. Liu Bei's respect for Pang Tong was no less than his elders, and both of them were obtained through their ability.

"Food and grass?!" Before Liu Bei could speak, Pang Tong next to him said, "There are only a few days left, so we can only go to Anfeng Gushi!" Pang Tong explained to Liu Bei directly that the Yangzhou that Liu Mang originally obtained was Shouchun, which had almost nothing. Liu Mang could not support the people who raised him in his hands, so he kept shrinking his defense line, resulting in the fact that except for the overcrowded population of Shouchun, there were basically few people in Anfeng Gushi, such as Anfeng Gushi, there were only a few defenders, and even a few people.

So you can clearly see how much food and grass he has, except for the garrison army, which eliminated the possibility of Liu Bei's army supporting the war. Therefore, Liu Bei could not get food and grass along the way. It was only half the way to reach the Gushi Anfeng generation, and there was still half the way to go. It was impossible to walk back. If you want to transport food and grass in Yuzhou? The grain route was cut off, and it would be difficult to recover for a while. Even if Guan Yu temporarily allocated it, it would be too late.

It takes five or six days for a person to starve to death. But don't forget. He is a strong person. If a person is a little weak in physique, he will starve to death in three days. It takes more than seven days for Anfeng to run to Yuzhou. If he is intercepted by Liu Mang's army halfway, he will have fun.

So if you want to retreat directly from Yangzhou, it is completely a daydream. So you may suffer heavy losses when you rescue Zhang Xiu, but this will also reduce the number of troops and get enough food and grass to overcome difficulties. Instead of starving to death, it is better to consume Liu Mang and Lu Bu's military horses.

"Which camp can we get food from Zhang Xiu's camp?" Zhang Fei made a fuss again. This time Liu Bei did not accuse him. Zhang Fei was right. There was no food or grass in their camp, but there was something in Zhang Xiu's camp. Zhang Xiu had been eating the food and grass provided by Liu Bei for a long time. Before the army set off, he had prepared food for dozens of days. He could still keep going to Yuzhou after getting this batch of food and food.

Pang Tong looked at Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, and they were still lucky. They were really afraid of poverty. Before, Liu Bei did not care about the huge casualties, because although such losses were large, the rewards were even greater. So Liu Bei dared to play like this, but what are the benefits of saving Zhang Xiu? That is, he was just greedy for the thousands of remaining soldiers in his hands. Now he doesn't know how many Western Liang cavalry there are in Zhang Xiu's hands, so these two still don't want to save Zhang Xiu. Pang Tong also knew that if he didn't put some strong medicine and directly eliminated the luck of the two, then he would not be able to rescue Zhang Xiu. So Pang Tong sneered directly, "Master, if Zhang Xiu doesn't save him, then the lord will not only succeed in the expedition to Yangzhou, but may also succeed in the future! He is completely a waste!"

"What!" Pang Tong said this, Zhang Fei was immediately unhappy. No matter what Liu Bei did, no matter how many times he failed, he was Zhang Fei's brother, his lord and eldest brother. It would be fine if Zhang Fei complained himself, but he would never allow other brothers to say that he would fight with others. "Black fat man, do you really think that I, Lao Zhang, don't dare to kill you?"

"Third brother, let go of the military advisor!" He was said to be a waste, no matter how dead he was, he would not be happy. Even if Liu Bei had a big stomach, he would be very dissatisfied. This dissatisfaction also affected his tone of speaking. He no longer called Pang Tong. The ancients called the characters meant a kind of affection and respect, but called him directly, which already had a sense of alienation.

"Black fat man, let me tell you, if you insult your elder brother again, even if I have the elder brother, I, Lao Zhang, will use the spear in my hand to poke a hole in your body with the spear in my hand!" Zhang Fei was really angry, and even the murderous intent appeared.

"Haha, lord, third general, if lord doesn't listen to what I said, then Pang Tong will no longer be willing to stay by the side of a waste. Please forgive Pang Tong for being rude, let Pang Tong leave, and search for the wise master again!" Pang Tong did not retreat at all and sneered directly.

"Military advisor?" Liu Bei stared at Pang Tong with his eyes tightly. He didn't know what kind of person Pang Tong was like before, but he had known it over the years. Pang Tong's tone of speaking was so firm, which means that Pang Tong had really made up his mind. If Liu Bei didn't implement it, he would really leave Liu Bei. Pang Tong's talent was really a first-class strategist and top-notch. Compared with the long-standing famous uncle and nephew of Guo Jia and Xun's family, Chen Gong, Tian Feng and Ju Su, etc., all he lacked was just some on-site experience! If Liu Bei lets go of such a person, it would be difficult to find such a talent in the future. Will Liu Bei know the strategist under Liu Bei's command? Sun Qian only

He can be considered a second-rate. Although it was introduced to Liu Bei by the great scholar Zheng Xuan, Liu Bei knew that this person was only talented in one county and was more than one county, so he was really not smart enough. Therefore, when Liu Bei was stationed in Xiaopei, he was very prosperous when he was stationed in Xiaopei. Sun Qian was also at ease. However, after Liu Bei got Tao Qian's surrender, he, Liu Bei, had never won. That was because Sun Qian was already confused. One county and one state were completely different. Don't think that one state was just a few counties. It was just a little hard work. It was not a matter of one family equal to two, but to the power of the second. So Liu Bei lost to Lu Bu and lost Xuzhou, and fought Lao Cao, and lost to Xuzhou.

Then there was Jian Yong. This was a brother who grew up naked from childhood with Liu Bei. What kind of thing was he like. Liu Bei knew better, he was a prodigal son. He asked him to manage money and food. He could allocate some things to manage books. But letting him manage a state or a strange coach to go to war would be wasted. This is a steward type person, and he could only help Liu Bei take good care of his rear.

Therefore, Pang Tong's arrival was so exciting that Liu Bei was such a first-class adviser, Liu Bei, like other princes, would not teach him to others if he couldn't get it, and he could not say that Liu Bei could kill Pang Tong.

Kill him Pang Tong? Pang Tong's face was solemn, but his heart was even more unrestrained. He was not afraid at all. If Liu Bei really didn't implement his plan, he would turn around without hesitation, regardless of Liu Bei's military, because he was interested in Liu Bei as a wise leader, not because of Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness. It's okay to deceive those brainless and well-developed military generals and those foolish people. But for him, a first-class adviser like Pang Tong, every good thing he did has his own purpose. Even someone like Xu Shu who doesn't get along with Liu Bei can see Liu Bei's false benevolence and righteousness. How could Pang Tong not see it?

It was not because Liu Bei's army was powerful. If it was powerful, why didn't he surrender Cao Cao and Yuan Shao! Even Sun Ce in Jiangdong was stronger than Liu Bei's army, and his potential was higher than Liu Bei. Sun Ce took over half of Jiangdong in 3,000 soldiers and horses, and Sun Ce was even younger than him than Liu Bei. Liu Bei had lived most of his life, and Sun Ce had just entered his prime and was at the peak!

He fell in love with Liu Bei because Liu Bei was a relative of the Han Dynasty and helped the Han Dynasty. If he had a great man in his heart, he would go directly to Xudu and to help the Emperor of Han. The Emperor of Han definitely wanted such a first-floor strategist to help.

He liked Liu Bei because Liu Bei was too mean, everything was worse than others, but he had everything. Such a mean person was the one who could make Pang Tong take his revenge. Liu Bei lacked first-class counselors, and Pang Tong arrived in Liu Bei's army, not like Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's army, which was the icing on the cake. Old Cao Yuan Shao had no less than three or four first-class counselors, and there were countless second-rate and third-rate counselors. Even the little overlord of Jiangdong had Zhang Shao and Zhou Yu in the hands of Liu Bei, but Liu Bei was different. Pang Tong defected to him, which was a timely help. Pang Tong was an indispensable figure in Liu Bei's army. Liu Bei would definitely give him Pang Tong a guest of honor. All strategies were basically inseparable from his Pang Tong's hands. This was to show all his ambitions. If Liu Bei didn't listen to him, what's the use of him staying here!

You may say that if Pang Tong leaves, you are not afraid that Liu Bei will turn against him and kill Pang Tong!

To be honest, Pang Tong is really not afraid! Because this time he is a bit embarrassing and he loses inexplicably. If Liu Bei wants to kill him, Pang Tong, he will never resist at all, because he is sorry for Liu Bei's trust, so he will regard his death as a plea!

Pang Tong raised his head, but Liu Bei hesitated. In the end, it was because Liu Bei was too short of military advisors, or for other reasons. Liu Bei sighed. He really wanted to compromise. If you lose, just lose. It was not that Liu Bei had lost. He lost even worse. He almost became a pants. When his wife was lost, why care about the present? Even in the current territory, it was given by the dead ghost Liu Pi!

"Brother?!" Zhang Fei was a little confused. He was so humiliated by this black fat man that his eldest brother had to agree. He was really funny!

"The third brother doesn't need to say much, everything is followed by the military advisor!" Liu Bei has made up his mind and has become like this. There is nothing that can afford to lose or lose.

"Hahahahahahahahahaha!" Pang Tong was really very happy. He really deserved to be the wise master whom he Pang Tong likes! Wait for Kong Ming, wait for Yuan Zhi, I, Pang Tong, will come back sooner or later. Pang Tong suddenly knelt down in front of Liu Bei. "Lord, what Tong said here, since Tong Tong, all the children of the Pang family will be the lord as the master, and will never betray them for generations!"

"Well?!" Liu Bei suddenly widened his eyes, and then his eyes lit up. Pang Tong was no longer loyal to his own people, but brought his family in. This was completely trying to be Liu Bei's retainer! He and Liu Bei both prosper and lose both! Jingzhou Pang family is really a huge family force. Although it is not one of the four major families in Jingzhou, it is not inferior to these four great families, and it is even higher than these four great families. Because the Pang family has two big and big scholars, they are all great scholars, and their disciples and former officials are all over the world, which is equivalent to the three donors of the Yuan family! Pang Tong is the direct descendant of the Pang family. Although it cannot represent all the Pang family, it can represent nearly half of the Pang family, which is enough!

"Shi Yuan, please get up quickly, please get up quickly! Shi Yuan treats this, and Bei is also talking about it. If one day, as long as my Liu family is still there, then I will rule the world with the Pang family!" Liu Bei is also full of passion and ambition. If one day? That day will be the 95th day!

"The lord's intentions are naturally clear! The most urgent task now is to save Zhang Xiu's troops!"

"I almost missed the matter! Shi Yuan, I immediately asked Yide and Shuhe, Yuan Jian, and the three of them to immediately go to rescue!" Liu Bei nodded and said.

"Slow!" What I was anxious just now was that Pang Tong's call now was Pang Tong, which made the people around him a little confused.

"Lord, before going to rescue Zhang Xiu, you must have to buried the Western Liang Iron Cavalry who delivered the letter!"

"Hmm?!" Liu Bei glanced at Pang Tong and then understood. "Come on, the hero was buried with great care!"

A grand funeral? Although the cavalry of Xiliang was injured, his life was not worry-free. Now he was going to be a grand funeral, which was to be buried alive. That was right, Liu Bei and Pang Tong were going to bury this person alive. Who made this person hear Liu Bei had no words to rescue Zhang Xiu before! So this person must die, just to kill people to silence him! There is no benevolence and righteousness in the family of princes!
