Chapter 411: The deployment of the army

"Master, it's not good, it's not good!" In the Pang family's mansion, an old man was watching the scroll in his hand outside a landscape. The scroll was made of wooden slips. It would be really hard to read him. The old man is old, so there is a servant around him who can turn the pages of the book at will.

Just as the old man read deeply, a voice broke out, and the same old man ran in quickly. His cheerful steps could not be seen at all, and he was more steadily than the young man.

Isn’t this old man’s outfit the butler in the Pang family?

"Hmm?" Pang Degong frowned, because he was a scholarly family, and his every move should be in accordance with etiquette and should be arranged in an orderly manner, rather than being as impatient as he is now. "What kind of decent thing is it!"

"Master, forgive me, please forgive me!" The housekeeper also realized that he had no image at all, but he didn't care about so much. "Master, the big thing is wrong, the eldest master, the eldest master, he fainted after vomiting blood!"

"What!" Pang Degong Meng De stood up, and the reaction was faster than the old butler just now.

"Didn't he go to the Liu Jingzhou mansion to attend the banquet?!" Pang Degong couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, yes, the eldest young master was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot by the King of Shu at that banquet!" The housekeeper explained to Pang Degong. He had to say that the old housekeeper had a very good eloquence and explained everything that happened at the banquet to Pang Degong word for word.

After hearing this, Mr. Pang De said for a long time. After a long time, he said, "Is he okay?"

"Doctor, I have said that the eldest young master is nothing serious, but he needs to rest for several days before he can recover his vitality!" The old butler came from the doctor. Pang Shanmin's luck was really good. Liu Mang made him so angry that he vomited blood. It was not his fresh blood, but blood stasis. That was when Pang Shanmin's heart was depressed after his brother Tang Yun and Tang Qishan died, causing the mouth of blood in his chest to dissipate, forming blood stasis. Liu Mang happened to stimulate Pang Shanmin's blood stasis this time. Pang Shanmin's spitting out the mouth of blood can be said to be not only harmless to the body, but also beneficial to the body.

"I understand, you go down!" After hearing what the butler said, Mr. Pang De waved his hand and was about to let the butler leave.

"Master, you?!" The housekeeper was a little confused. Such a situation happened to his son, but Pang Degong was just like this.

"Why aren't you leaving yet?! I'm going to study?!" As he said that, Mr. Pang De continued to do it again, picked up the bamboo slips in his hand and started reading.

"I understand!" The housekeeper nodded and left immediately. The master was not allowed to disturb him when he was studying. This time something big happened, so the housekeeper was helpless.

Reading? Can Pang Degong really read the book?

"You go down too!" Mr. Pang De waved to the servant beside him.

"Ruo!" The servant nodded and left. Only Mr. Pang De was left in the pavilion of the mountains and rivers. Mr. Pang De was not interested in being on this bamboo slip, even if the book was so tempting.

"Pang Tong, Pang Shanmin?!" Pang Degong was complicated. There were only two successors in their entire Pang family. Pang Shanmin was the eldest son of Pang Degong and the only son. Pang Degong had a son in middle age. It can be said that he had great expectations for this son, hoping that he was a humble gentleman. He hoped that he could put his family, country and the world first, so Pang Tong named him Shanmin, hoping to tell him that he should have the simplicity of the people. Pang Shanmin did not disappoint Pang Degong's expectations. He was indeed a humble gentleman, but this humble gentleman was really too simple. Pang Tong was the son of his younger brother's family. His younger brother died early in his early years, so Pang Tong has always been with Pang Degong. Pang Degong went out to study. Friends would take Pang Tong with him, so Pang Tong was influenced by his childhood.

Pang Tong is very smart. It can be said that it is difficult for people in Jingzhou and even the whole world to find someone who is smarter than Pang Tong.

Logically speaking, Pang Tong is most suitable to be the head of the Pang family. Pang Degong also arranged this way before. Pang Shanmin is simple and a humble gentleman, so let him do this for the rest of his life, accompanying landscapes, calligraphy and painting, and also has a close friend Tang Yun. It can be said that Pang Shanmin is not lonely in this life, and Pang Tong is left to manage the Pang family.

If the Pang family was handed over to Pang Shanmin, with his temperament and incompetent personality, I am afraid that the Pang family will become defeated in a few years.

But now Pang Degong is also confused because Pang Tong has changed, and it has really changed. Pang Tong's intelligence seems to have been used in the wrong place. Pang Degong also understands the intrigues and deceptions in the troubled times. It is forgivable for both sides to be their own masters, but Pang Tong should not have been absolutely necessary. He has plotted against his own people. No matter what, Tang Yun said, that was Pang Tong's eldest brother, but now he has become a cold corpse because of Pang Tong's words. Tang Yun's death is also the heart of Pang Shanmin. Pang Shanmin's move from a graceful gentleman to such an act is what Pang Tong did.

If Pang Shanmin knew that Pang Tong had only been able to kill Tang Yun after he had been clichéd, would he have had a complete fall in love with Pang Tong? Once the fall in love, according to Pang Tong's temperament, Tang Yun stood in front of Pang Tong, and Pang Tong was eliminated. Once Pang Shanmin blocked his way, he would definitely get rid of this brother!

Moreover, Pang Tong likes Liu Bei from Yuzhou, not Liu Biao from Jingzhou or Cao Cao from Yanzhou. Liu Bei's Nanyang is part of Jingzhou, very close to each other. If Liu Bei and Liu Biao fall in love, the first one who is unlucky may be his Lumen Academy!

Pang Degong really smiled bitterly. He didn't know how to choose. One was his middle-aged son, and the other was his nephew Pang Tong who grew up since childhood and raised him. He would not forgive him if any of these two people had bad things.

After thinking for a long time, Pang Degong finally made a decision.

...

"Add the huge rocks, put them, put them, put them!" Under the city on the way, huge siege tools were operating, hundreds of kilograms of huge stones, from time to time, heading towards the city on the way, a place where Qin Feng rested like a major town.

The whole earth began to shake and the mountains began to shake. The city became a living target on the way.

The troops attacking below were the Black Chess Army under Liu Mang, Yangzhou. Before, Zhang Liao had been enduring it. That was because first, if there was no attack from the crossbow, the casualties would be terrible. Even if Zhang Liao took it down, he would probably not be able to protect him. It would be better not to fight than to do this. However, when Xu Sheng's crossbow arrived, Zhang Liao also temporarily suspended the attack, which was because he was afraid of using the crossbow to completely attack the city. Once he was beaten, he would really become a turtle with the heads. If Qin Feng suddenly dropped it and ran away on the way, how could Zhang Liao go to surround and attack some reinforcements? So after learning that the boss behind Qin Feng, Sun Ce sent troops, and Zhang Liao finally started attacking.

"Oh my god!" Qin Feng was really afraid in the city on the way. He thought he could fully protect the city on the way. You must know that the city wall and moat were supervised by Qin Feng one by one. Qin Feng was a good corruption man. Who dared to get kickbacks under his nose? So the city on the way was built very strongly, but now it seems that this is not the case. Under such a huge rock, the entire city was shaking.

The city wall, which originally seemed extremely strong to Qin Feng, was suddenly smashed into big pits by those huge rocks. The bluestones splashed, and there were only a few soldiers on the city walls. They were not beaten to death, but were scared to death. Once the huge rocks fell to people, they would either die or be injured. Some of them were more miserable and were smashed into human heads by the huge rocks. How could such an attack be terrible?

Even his new prefect's mansion in the city fell several huge rocks yesterday, causing several servants in the prefect's mansion to be smashed into meat pies. Qin Feng had not been able to eat meat for several days!

"Lord, lord, the city tower on the south gate has been broken most of the time!" Just when Qin Feng was still in panic, his dog-headed military advisor came to report it unknown, making Qin Feng's head bigger.

The city tower at the south gate, which was originally used to destroy the enemy from a high place, has now been directly destroyed.

When did he fight such a war? What weapons can be used to collapse a city tower besides the fire? Qin Feng was almost crying.

"Lord, lord, the enemy has begun to fill the moat!" Another person came to report the demise.

"Click them back, shoot them back!" Qin Feng shouted angrily.

"I can't shoot!" The general was helpless. Who would dare to show his face in this state? As long as there were established archers, it would be great. In just a moment, there would be endless stones in the sky. If you don't kill you, you will scare you to death. Let alone take the bow and arrow, it would be difficult for you to let these soldiers go to the city wall.

"Lord, there are no reinforcements, the city on the way, the city on the way cannot be defended!" Song An cried. He followed Qin Feng for glory and wealth, not to live and die with him.

"Reinforcements, reinforcements, yes, we still have reinforcements!" Qin Feng's eyes suddenly flashed. They still have reinforcements. The boss of Jiangdong Sun Ce did not say that their reinforcements would arrive soon. It was the second son of Sun Quan, who led 50,000 troops from the water, and was about to come on the way. "Hurry, hurry up and write a letter to tell the second son that we are almost unable to defend. The enemy is too fierce. Let him send reinforcements quickly! Otherwise, they will be gone on the way!"

"Yes!" Song An nodded. He came over and asked Qin Feng to write him a letter urging reinforcements. Just relying on the 20,000 soldiers in the city, Song An was really afraid that he would not be able to defend it.

"Kill, kill, kill!" On the way, the Xiliang cavalry once again showed how they used heavy armored cavalry to attack the city in Yangzhou. Each of them had a bag of sandbags, and the war horses were galloping back and forth, throwing the sandbags in their hands into the moat one by one. They went back and forth dozens of times, and half of the moat was directly filled.

"General, will this scare Qin Feng away in the city?" Although Zhang Hu's butt was injured by Zhang Liao, it was just a skin injury and no bones were damaged. It would be cured in a few days, but he became more and more awe of Zhang Liao.

"Scare away? Can he still run away now?" Zhang Liao sneered. Jiangdong had not sent reinforcements before. Zhang Liao was really afraid that Qin Feng was a coward, so he ran away on the way. In that case, Jiangdong Sun Ce would really give up Linhuai on the way. After all, Sun Ce had a shadow in Lujiang to attack the city.

But now the reinforcements in Jiangdong are on the way. If Qin Feng abandons and runs away on the way, then let alone Zhang Liao, I am afraid that the boss behind Qin Feng will be unable to afford it. What's more, Qin Feng is much more courageous with this reinforcement.

"Report to the general, from the city and the east gate, the scouts were rushing out of the city on the way, heading towards the riverside." A hundred generals of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry reported to Zhang Liao to Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao did not ask them to fill the moat, but divided them out and observed closely.

"Do you want us?" The hundred generals made an intercepting gesture, which meant to kill the scouts on this route.

"No need to do this! Just let them send the letter!" Zhang Liao said calmly.

Zhang Liao's current plan is to make Qin Feng in the city panic. He thought that the city might be broken on the way, so that he would send more and more letters of help, a 100,000 urgent letter of help. When he received such a letter of help, the first reaction of the reinforcements was to accelerate forward. Although Zhang Liao was confident in the Western Liang Iron Cavalry and the Black Chess Army, he could not play field battles with the 50,000 army! So he had to bite off part of the 50,000 army in one bite.

That's right, Zhang Liao really guessed correctly, and Sun Quan now reacted like this.

"Report, report to the general. Our army intercepted a scout on the way, and he said he came from the city on the way and needed to see the general!" A messenger immediately ran to Sun Quan's tent and reported to Sun Quan.

"The scout on the way? Let him come in quickly!" Sun Quan and the young man next to him looked at each other and immediately let the scout come in.

A man who was exhausted was quickly brought to Sun Quan. As soon as he saw Sun Quan, he knelt down and said, "General, General, please send troops quickly to save our city on the way. The city on the way is almost impossible to defend!"

"What?!" As soon as he heard the scout's news, Sun Quan and the young man couldn't sit still, and they stood up together.

"Say it again. What's wrong with the city on the way?!"

"The city on the way, the city on the way is almost impossible to defend!" the scout repeated again.

"How could it be! Isn't the city the most powerful city he repaired by Qin Feng? The city has countless food and grass, and there are 20,000 soldiers. Even if Liu Mang from Yangzhou came all over, he could hold on for several months. How could he not be able to defend it all at once?!" The young man next to him asked sternly.

"No, no! Although this city is strong, our lord also has 20,000 troops, but the enemy has a huge thing. He can, he can throw hundreds of kilograms of huge rocks from the ground into the city on the way! This kind of huge rock hits the house, the house collapses, and hits the city wall. The city wall is also smashed, and the bluestones splash. When I left, the city tower at the south gate had already been destroyed. If I touch someone, I will die, and if I wipe it, I will be injured. Someone is blessed and will be smashed into meat pie. That miserable! I can't even recognize my appearance! "The scout explained to the young man and Sun Quan in detail.

"What kind of weapon is so powerful!" The young man and Sun Quan were both stunned.

"Zijing, do you know what kind of weapon this is?" Sun Quan asked the young man beside him. Yes, this young man is Sun Quan's friend, who once attacked Lu Su Lu Zijing in Yangzhou.

"According to the scout's explanation, it is a stone throwing machine!" Lu Su knew the mechanism and even designed a well railing when he attacked Lujiang. If it weren't for the bed crossbow and Huang Zhong's giant arrow, Wancheng would have been burned into a sea of ​​fire long ago.

"Stone-throwing machine?" Sun Quan said, "What kind of stone-throwing machine can be shot so high and so far?"

Sun Quan had a detailed map of the city on the way. If this map was real, then the city on the way was really strong. The moat alone was dozens of meters. Coupled with the city's several feet, the city's suspension bridges, etc., this catapult was able to penetrate the city from outside the city, smash the house and collapse the city tower. This distance was really a bit far.]

"Will you shoot them back with bows and arrows?!"

"The bow and arrow are simply not reachable! Before our archers showed up, they were killed by those huge rocks!" The scout cried.

"How did you come?"

"When I came, the moat had been half filled, and the enemy was about to attack the city, but our soldiers didn't even dare to go up to the city wall! So, general, please send reinforcements!" As he said that, the scout knelt down, holding Qin Feng's letter.

Sun Quan opened Qin Feng's letter and read it, then handed it to Lu Su. On the letter, Qin Feng almost said that his city was lost on the way.

"Transfer our military orders. Send troops quickly to rescue Qin Feng!" Sun Quan put away the letter in his hand and was about to let the army start his journey.

"No, absolutely not!" Lu Su from the side directly stopped Kailai. "Lord, the food and grass of this army have not been fully prepared yet. Now that the troops are sent, where does this food and grass come from? "The 50,000 troops will go on a war, and the food and grass will be prepared for a long time, and the allocation of these food and grass is not from the army. But it is given from the hands of the gentry. It is impossible for each gentry to put the food and grass together. It is the allocation of the entire army to be delayed.

"Zijing, I will lead the army forward first, and you will coordinate the military rations later and then send them to me!" Sun Quan was preparing to let the army start to open up the waves and deliver the food and grass first.

"My lord is still not! The army's rations are only enough for a few days now. The army cannot fight on the way, not to mention that the transportation of 50,000 troops of food and grass is not a small matter. Once a problem occurs, the entire army will fall into a desperate situation!" Lu Su knew that the enemy he was dealing with this time had the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. If the army did not go with the food and grass, once the food route was cut off by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, then the 50,000 troops would be ready to drink the northwest wind and starve to death in the end!

"This is not possible, that is not possible. Do you want to watch the city fall on the way?!" Sun Quan was also a little angry. This was his first time to command troops. He hoped that he could meet the enemy now. He would fight a battle when he went up and let the enemy know that the Sun family in Jiangdong is not only one brother, Sun Ce, can fight, but Sun Quan can do it too.

"You can't fall on the way!" Now Linhuai has been lost. If the city is lost on the way, it will really change from a defender to a siege. Lu Su also felt a little afraid of Liu Mang's ability to defend the city.

"What's the point?!"

"Lord, you can do this! Lord let Lu Mengling Cao take his troops and horses to send troops first and go on the way to help!" Now the entire army cannot move in full, but there cannot be no reinforcements on the way. That is, we can only send all the troops and horses to restrain them first.

"Where are the allocation of food and grass?" Sun Quan said in confusion. Lu Menglingcao had five thousand elite soldiers and horses in his hands, and these five thousand elite soldiers had to be able to eat.

"I will first allocate the food and grass for the army from Jiangxia in Jianye!" Although Lu Su now has become the military advisor of Sun Quan's army, he also has the ability to allocate the food and grass for the Jiangdong Navy in Jiangxia ahead. He can first allocate a part of it from it. Then let these gentry replenish the military rations.

"Is this really OK?!"

"Don't worry, lord, Mr. Zhang Zhao will still give face to lord!" Lu Su said it alone might be useless, but it was different with Zhang Zhao.

"Okay, let me leave all this to you!" Sun Quan said to Lu Su.

"Don't worry! Lord"

'"If we pass our military orders, we will start immediately. Lu Menglingchao's army will immediately launch its troops on the way, and there must be no mistakes!"

"The last general obeys the order!" Ling Chao and Lu Meng clasped his fists at Sun Quan, and the two of them walked down to prepare for their troops.

"Lu Meng, two generals Ling Chao stayed!" Just as the two were about to set off, Lu Su once again arrived in front of them.

"Military advisor?" Lu Meng admires knowledgeable people very much. Ling Chao is the second generation of the army and is also familiar with Lu Su.

"Two generals, you must not fight until you move forward this time?!" Lu Su ordered the two of them.

"Military advisor, why is this?" Lu Meng and Ling Chao didn't understand. They were originally going to rescue them on their way, but now Lu Su asked them not to take action. What did they want to do?

"Although the two generals are in the hands of Qin Feng, Qin Feng is not from my Jiangdong. In addition to rescuing Linhuai, the lord also wants to take the Linhuai into his pocket!" Lu Su made the two of them not take action because they wanted to consume Liu Mang's army. Qin Feng's troops, otherwise once Qin Feng helped Qin Feng to defend Linhuai and on the way, he would be 20,000 troops in his hands. If he didn't obey the orders, it would be bad.

"Also, the two generals have only 5,000 troops as vanguards. They will definitely be exhausted when they are rushing to the long distance. They must rest and then go outside the city. Once they arrive outside the city, they will set up camps and support each other on the way, waiting for our army to arrive!" Lu Su was worried. The letters sent by the city on the way a few days ago were still Zhang Liao who dared not attack the city. In the past few days, they will be taken down on the way. It is obvious that there is a problem inside. Lu Su's 50,000 troops are not afraid of him. Zhang Liao's 10,000 troops, but these 5,000 vanguard troops are afraid. If they rushed over quickly and were physically and mentally exhausted, it would be really a waste.

Therefore, Lu Su asked Lu Mengling to finish his rest and then go on the way. In this way, when fighting with the enemy, he would not be tired soldiers. He also set up camps and waited for the arrival of the army to fight together, instead of fighting with 5,000 soldiers and 10,000 soldiers.

"Lu Meng, Ling Chao understand!" Lu Meng and Ling Chao clasped their fists together and said to Lu Su.

"For everything, please ask the two generals!" Lu Su also clasped his fists and replied.

Soon, military rations began to be allocated one after another. Lu Su, who had to be transported to Jiangxia, were allocated by Lu Su to Ling Chao and Lu Meng's camp. Soon, the cost of 5,000 troops was ready in a month, and this month's cost was enough for the arrival of Lu Su's army.
