[Three Kingdoms] Carnival

Zhao Yun helped Zhuge Liang to sit down, his eyes were worried, but he comforted him in his mouth: "Yun has already observed that the Jiangdong stationed in Yueyang are all well-trained and elite soldiers. If Mr. Zhou does not go with Zhou Dudu in this battle, neither will Cao Jun." Maybe you can get benefits from the Jiangdong Army. Don't worry, sir, your health is important."

Zhuge Liang closed his eyes and shook his head, with unresolved worries on his brows.The fatigue in his body became louder and louder. He could only rely on his willpower and reduce other movements to barely maintain a clear thinking and analyze the current situation.

The reason why he decided to come to Yueyang in person, apart from the reasons he just mentioned, was more importantly, in his opinion, it shouldn't be Cao Cao's real purpose to attack Yueyang and sow dissension with troops disguised as Liu Bei.

As I said before, these tactics that are too naive and easy to see through are really not like Cao Cao's handwriting.

But what exactly is Cao Cao's purpose, he has too little information available to him, and it is impossible to speculate.That's why he came to Yueyang in person, the soldiers came to block, the water came to cover him, and he acted according to circumstances.

"I told you before that there is no need to waste energy for Liu Xuande, and you never listened."

Suddenly, a voice suddenly sounded from the tent door.The visitor was dressed as a scribe, and most of his hair was tied behind his head with a cloth scarf, but there was a large strand of hair on his forehead, which just covered his right eye and the surrounding parts.The only exposed eye is faint like a candle, revealing a chilling chill.

Before Zhou Yu left, he ordered his soldiers to invite a military doctor to diagnose and treat Zhuge Liang. The man who came with a medicine box must be a military doctor from the Jiangdong Army.However, Zhao Yun always felt that the visitor looked very kind, so he looked at it carefully for a while, and suddenly he had a relationship with the visitor when he was escorting Mr.

"You are... Mr. Pang?"

"Shi Yuan?" Even though Zhuge Liang had already followed the sound when he heard the sound of the tent door, his vision had already been blurred, so he only confirmed the identity of the person who came after hearing Zhao Yun's call, "Could it be, You are the military doctor that Gongjin mentioned? Gongjin wrote the physical sticker."

"It's all about finding a way to settle down. Of course, in this camp, I use another name, which has nothing to do with Pang Shiyuan." Pang Tong carried the medicine box and went to sit opposite Zhuge Liang, feeling the master's pulse with his hand , closed his eyes to feel it for a few seconds, and said in a deep voice, "Your qi and blood are empty, you are overworked, and you take something that soothes the nerves, and you will be like Kong Ming you are now, weak all over, and almost want to fall asleep." He raised his eyes, just I saw the open box of chicken coop incense on the small table.He picked up a piece and sniffed it, then smelled the half cup of tea left on the desk, and said with certainty, "That's right, it should be because the fragrance of the chicken coop matches this tea. The fragrance of chicken tongue is precious, so few people would use this tea." It’s a way to soothe the nerves, so almost no one knows the value of chicken tongue fragrance.”

"...Hmm." Zhuge Liang responded subconsciously.His eyes were half open and half closed, obviously exhausted to the extreme.

Seeing Zhuge Liang's appearance that he was about to fall to the case and insist on holding on, Pang Tong frowned, and persuaded: "You don't have to hold on, and you will be fine after you wake up after a good sleep. As for the matter during this period, I have to Now, what are you worried about?"

In fact, although Zhuge Liang could hear Pang Tong speaking, when Pang Tong finished speaking, what he could only hear was blurred.He concentrated what little energy he had left, and continued to speculate on Cao Cao's real purpose based on the effect of the chicken tongue fragrance he vaguely heard.

If he were Cao Cao, he would definitely not ruin his reputation by poisoning the incense in the chicken coop, which is despised by the world.As for the preciousness of Chicken Tongue Fragrance, when I first received it, I would definitely use it as Cao Cao's method to sow discord, but at the same time I would have doubts in my heart.The Sun-Liu Alliance must not make a single mistake at a critical juncture. Under such circumstances, it seems that it is an inevitable choice to leave the lord and come to Yueyang...

Since it is an inevitable choice, it is reasonable and has a plan.

A spark flashed in my mind, and an idea burst out suddenly.In an instant, Zhuge Liang understood everything thoroughly.He immediately realized that if Liu Bei was not notified as soon as possible, the situation in Jingzhou would be in danger.Full of anxiety, he hurried to Pang Tong, wanting to entrust everything to Pang Tong

But after all, it was a second short, and his thoughts were suddenly broken, and he was shrouded in darkness.

Pang Tong looked at Zhuge Liang sleeping on the small case, sighed lightly, and stretched out his hand to smooth his frowning brows.

"Mr. Pang, this..." Zhao Yun, standing behind Zhuge Liang, was a little at a loss in the face of the current situation.Although he knew that Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang were on good terms, compared to the gentle and friendly Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong seemed too inhumane, and his stern face kept people away at any time, so that Zhao Yun really didn't know what to say to ease the situation. The subtle awkward atmosphere in the tent,

"I didn't expect Mr. Pang to know the art of Qi and Huang, and his knowledge is profound, which Yun admires."

He curled up Zhuge Liang's arms to make him sleep more comfortably on the pillow. Hearing Zhao Yun's stiff compliment, Pang Tong raised his eyes and glanced at Zhao Yun: "Did Kong Ming tell you that when we see Tong again in the future, you must use three Persuade Tong to defect to Liu Xuande with a good tongue?" He said, "However, you are not a person who is good at words, such a rigid rhetoric, even if it is not Tong who is here today, it will not be effective if it is anyone else.

Kong Ming entrusted you, if his eyebrows are serious, his tone is solemn, and his voice is firm... it can only show that this was just his whim at the time.Just kidding, you don't have to take it seriously. "

Zhao Yun was even more embarrassed by Pang Tongtong's words, especially when Pang Tong described Zhuge Liang's demeanor, which was exactly the same as the demeanor when Mr. Zhuge Liang entrusted this matter to him.However, recalling the solemn tone of the husband and the trusting eyes that day, he immediately made up his mind again, even if it was a joke that the husband made with him on the spur of the moment, he would spare no effort to achieve it.He paused, and asked sincerely to Pang Tong: "Mr. Pang, please be honest, since the master and the military division are old friends, and the military division has invited you out of the mountain several times, why would you rather bury your talents here than invest in my master?" ?”

Pang Tong snorted lightly, he didn't know whether he was amused by Zhao Yunming's stubborn and sincere appearance, or by Zhao Yun's sudden question:

"The phoenix is ​​the phoenix, and it doesn't live in the sycamore tree. Who is Liu Xuande, can he compare to the sycamore tree?"

"Sir, what you said is wrong." Mentioning Liu Bei, Zhao Yun's tone instantly became more serious, and his expression was no longer as humble as before.Between his sword eyebrows and starry eyes, there is a faint glimpse of the fortitude honed on the battlefield, "The lord is a member of the royal family, who cares about the country and the people, benevolent and generous, and wholeheartedly helping the society, for..."

"Enough is enough." Pang Tong quickly stopped.He took a deep look at the sleeping Zhuge Liang. Knowing that no one could hear him, he still couldn't help sighing, "I understand why you entrusted him with things you couldn't even do. You want to let him see. How strong is Liu Xuande's ability to deceive the world and steal his name, using the example of a prince who steals the country as an example, let Tong know that Liu Xuande can accomplish great things?"

"Mr. Pang!" A trace of anger flashed across Zhao Yun's face, "Sir, you have never met my lord, so how do you know that my lord is deceiving the world and stealing his name instead of having a heart of innocence? Please be careful!"

"Whether Liu Xuande is a deceitful avenue or a master of benevolence, whether he is a frightening city or a pure heart, has nothing to do with me. You don't have to argue with me about these." Pang Tong said, Wuxin and Zhao Yun were entangled in this matter, "I only care about one thing. The first thing is whether Liu Xuande is worth Zhuge Kongming's lifelong pursuit."

"If this is the case, sir, you can rest assured. My lord treats the military division with great affection and respect, and entrusts him with all my heart..."

"Lovely and respectful, entrusted wholeheartedly, because Liu Xuande is only available to Kong Ming, how can he not show kindness to win people's hearts?" Pang Tong interrupted Zhao Yun's words unceremoniously.His eyes stayed on Zhuge Liang, with a little emotion, and the past scenes were played back in his mind one by one:

"Zhao Yun, do you know what kind of person Zhuge Kongming was before he became an official?"

Zhao Yun was taken aback.He only got to know Mr. after the lord brought him back to the camp, so naturally he didn't know what happened before he became an official.

Pang Tong didn't intend to hear Zhao Yun's answer either.He knew better than anyone that Zhao Yun, or someone who only knew Zhuge Liang after 12 years in Jian'an, knew nothing about Zhuge Liang's original character.He opened his mouth and slowly told the past:

"In the tenth year of Jian'an, on the day when Kong Ming's younger brother Zhuge Jun was crowned, Kong Ming went up the mountain alone with a lantern. At dusk, when he didn't come back, I went up the mountain with Zhuge Jun to find him. That time, we They searched for him all night, and finally found him on the top of the mountain. He stayed there all night wearing a cloak, saying that he wanted to watch the sky at night, so as to give Ah Jun a sign that the sky is in the right place and the sky is in the right place.

It was late autumn and October at that time, and the night wind was cold, and the consequences of the whole night can be imagined. "

Zhao Yun's eyes were full of worry, and he asked eagerly, "Did you get sick because of this? Did you leave the root of the disease? Is there a way to take care of it?"

Pang Tong was stunned for a moment, and it took a few seconds for him to realize that the "sir" in Zhao Yun's mouth did not refer to him, but to Zhuge Liang.Perhaps it was because Zhao Yun was too worried that he couldn't help saying what he called Zhuge Liang in his heart.

Maybe it was because it was confirmed that Zhao Yun really cared about Zhuge Liang, or maybe it was because the old things were too warm, Pang Tong's face melted a little, and the only exposed eye was also stained with a faint smile.He shook his head and continued: "No, even though he just put on a big cloak casually, even though the night was cold and cold, even though he stayed up all night, he didn't catch any illness at all, and the next day he still smiled at us happily It was Ah Jun who made a big fuss. On the other hand, Ah Jun went well to the crowning ceremony, because his elder brother caught the wind and cold all night and took medicine for a month before he became fully curious.

Aren't you just curious that I will understand the art of Huang Qi?It is because it is too troublesome to ask the doctor to go out of the city, and Kong Ming is not easy to worry about, so I have to learn some superficial emergencies." He said, he walked out of the warm memories of the past, and his expression sank again, "today It was the first time I felt his pulse. "

From just now, Zhao Yun fell into astonishment.The young man Pang Tong talked about who would wear a cloak casually and run up the mountain alone was really quite different from the gentleman he knew who was prudent and strategizing.But he didn't feel unfamiliar with his husband because of this, but instantly imagined the appearance of the healthy, agile and elegant young man in the past, so he felt more and more distressed.

Having been with her husband day and night, he knew very well how much pressure he was under.

"So, you should understand now why I don't want him to stay by Liu Bei's side." Back to the present, Pang Tong completely recovered his stern look, "If this continues, he will be implicated by Liu Xuande for the rest of his life. Whether Liu Xuande is good or bad , the Lord of ZTE is a traitor and a traitor, he is not worthy of letting Kong Ming spend his life."

This time, Zhao Yun was silent and did not argue for Liu Bei.

Because what Pang Tong said is the truth, a fact that everyone can see at a glance, let alone Wolong, who is extremely wise.

"It's a pity that it's clearly a muddy deep pool, but Wolong flocks to it." Pang Tong sneered, "I didn't cross the river, but I crossed the river. From the first day I met, I never talked about him, nor could I persuade him. "

"If Mr. Pang is willing to come and assist the lord, perhaps..." Zhao Yun was silent for a long time, and finally found a solution that seemed feasible.If Pang Tong comes to assist the lord together, it will not only make the lord even more powerful, but also reduce the heavy burden that Mr. Wang has borne alone, which is really killing two birds with one stone.But when he said it, he felt that this thought was too selfish, so that in the end, before Pang Tong could say anything, he couldn't continue.

Pang Tong looked at Zhao Yun with great interest, and felt more and more that the contrast between this famous general and his usual life on the battlefield was really interesting: "It's not impossible to go to Liu Xuande. The second is because of mutual affection and congeniality. The former, not to mention high officials and nobles, is even a county, and Liu Bei can't afford it; as for the latter... Zhao Yun, you have followed Liu Bei for so many years, yes He is loyal and devoted himself to life and death for him, so he still doesn't treat you as a brother. Perhaps it was a good thing for you to be caught by Cao Cao in Changbanpo."

In the last sentence, Pang Tong deliberately said it in an extremely blunt manner, just to arouse Zhao Yun's injustice.However, what he never expected was that Zhao Yun didn't even move his face, he just shook his head lightly, and his voice was calm, without a trace of anger:

"Mr. Pang said that before today, Yun has heard it many times, and in the future, Yun may hear it many times. But whether Mr. Pang believes it or not, Yun has never cared about this. I know, no need to explain to others.

Yun chooses to follow the lord because Yun believes that the lord's ambition will come true one day. After he finished speaking, he remembered what Pang Tong had said before, and added, "Even if Mr. Pang doesn't believe it. "

"Why should Shi Yuan persuade? All the disadvantages that Shi Yuan thought of assisting Liu Xuande, Liang can turn them into benefits with his sharp tongue. In the end, Shi Yuan took Liu Xuande's ambitions as a joke, but Liang firmly believed So you can’t say no to Liang. No one in the world can make Liang change this decision.”

In my memory, when Zhuge Liang spoke, the bright stars in his eyes overlapped with the light in Zhao Yun's eyes in front of him, which made Pang Tong's heart skip a beat, and it took him a while to come back to his senses.

In such a state of desperation, so many people can devote themselves to him.What kind of person should Liu Bei and Liu Xuande be?

For the first time, he had the idea of ​​meeting Liu Bei in person.

"Two hours later, the camp will start to cook. This is the time when the defense is the most lax. No matter whether Kong Ming wakes up or not at that time, you take him back." After estimating the time, Pang Tong explained to Zhao Yun, and then turned to the accountant. go outside.

"Mr. Pang!" Zhao Yun called, "Sir, won't you go back with us?"

"Crouching dragon and phoenix chick, if you get one, you will win the world. If you get two... Heh, Liu Xuande doesn't have such a precious life. Tell him not to worry, and when the time is right, I will go to see him."

After speaking, he walked out of the big tent and got on his horse.

Since he agreed to Kong Ming, he had to do the next thing.

Coincidentally, he can also use this matter to see what kind of person Liu Bei is.

Just try it out.

Zhou Yu personally led the elite troops to fight, and it was easy for them to beat the enemy troops who had overestimated their strength to attack the camp, and they fled north in a hurry.Although the Art of War says "don't chase the poor", under the pressure of absolute strength, the morale of fighting to the death is just a drop in the bucket.The remnant army carrying the flags of "Liu" and "Han" fled all the way, and Zhou Yu led the troops to chase all the way until they reached the foggy Yunmengze.

"It's really bad luck for them to escape here in a panic." Lu Meng, who was fighting with Zhou Yu, looked at the thick fog and couldn't help laughing, "The fog in Yunmengze may have some effect on others, but it is not good on Jiangdong Army. To escape here is to seek death." After finishing speaking, he slammed his fists at Zhou Yu and volunteered, "Governor, please lead the troops first and destroy the enemy!"

Zhou Yu nodded imperceptibly, and Lu Meng knew that this was Yun, and immediately rushed into the thick fog ahead with five thousand elite soldiers.

For the Jiangdong army who were familiar with the terrain of Yunmengze, the visual obstacle of fog was indeed not worth mentioning.But to anyone other than the Jiangdong Army, this misty Yunmeng Lake is nothing more than a pool of death.

Lu Meng was brave and yet wise, he led elite soldiers, and the battlefield was the familiar Yunmengze.So every once in a while, some soldiers came back to Zhou Yu and reported to Zhou Yu the battle situation in Zezhong.Listening to the soldiers reporting the number of newly killed enemy troops led by Lu Meng again and again, Zhou Yu suddenly felt something was wrong.

This amount is really too much.

Like Zhuge Liang, he didn't believe that Cao Cao's methods were limited to letting his troops pretend to be Liu Bei's soldiers and horses to sow discord, so he was careful while chasing him all the way.But so far, he has seen nothing except Cao Jun's embarrassment.

and many more!

The army fighting the Han family banner, in addition to the Cao army who wanted to pretend to be Liu Bei's troops, also had an army, and it was bound to be dressed like this.

Since Cao Cao has the ability to cross Jiangling and send troops to Yueyang to sow discord, it should be easier to send troops to Liu Bei to sow discord.

With Cao Mengde's strategy, how could he do nothing?

"Great Governor!" Coincidentally, the new soldier who was sent back to report the news returned to Zhou Yu, but not only reported the results of the battle, but also conveyed Lu Meng's questions.Apparently, Lu Meng, who was present at the scene, had gradually discovered the strange number of Cao's army, so to be on the safe side, instead of annihilating them, he sent someone back to ask for instructions.

"General Lu said that the situation on the battlefield is extremely strange, and I would like to ask the commander-in-chief whether to continue the pursuit or withdraw the troops."

The method of sowing dissension is not clever, if Zhuge Liang is not in Yueyang but in Liu Bei's army, this method will never work.So Cao Cao set up a suspicious formation and sent Zhuge Liang the incomparably precious chicken tongue incense. Zhuge Liang would definitely think that Cao Cao's resourcefulness must have a trick to sow dissension, so in order to ensure the stability of the Sun-Liu alliance, he came to Yueyang himself. .

Cao Cao's bet was not that Zhuge Liang was not smart, but that Zhuge Liang was too smart.

No, this kind of style that is able to calculate people's hearts without any mistakes outside the battlefield is not like Cao Cao's handwriting...

A name came to Zhou Yu's mind.He bit his lip hard, suppressing the accompanying hatred with reason in an almost cruel way.

Whether it was set up by Cao Cao or someone else, it is not the top priority.

The dense fog is a matter of heaven; the familiar terrain in Jiangdong is a matter of land;

The conspirators probably didn't care whether Zhou Yu would see through his real plan.Due to the right time, place and people, the Jiangdong Army has the upper hand.Even the excuse for the future has been prepared for Jiang Dong: Jiang Dong can claim that he was deceived by the cunning Cao Jun and directed his hatred to Cao Jun.

This is Yangmou, a Yangmou that Zhou Dadu, who is determined to reach the agreement to ride the world, cannot refuse.

Then, I have to feel sorry for Kong Ming.

"Pass the order to Ziming," Zhou Yu's voice was full of sternness and ruthlessness after a long time in the battlefield, "except for our army, no matter who it is, shoot and kill!"

Jingzhou, on the surface, seems to be a dispute between three families.Facing the large and powerful Cao army, the Sun and Liu families, as the weak side, had no other choice but to join forces again to fight against Cao.

However, if you think about it one more step, you will know that in this game, it is Liu Bei, not Jiang Dong, who cares most about whether Cao Jun can be defeated.Even if Zhou Yu could not occupy Jingzhou, he would have Jiangdong to defend himself; and Liu Bei, except for the counties of Jingzhou, had nothing.

Therefore, it is Zhuge Liang, not Zhou Yu, who is really nervous about the Sun-Liu alliance.On the contrary, in Zhou Yu's eyes, perhaps Liu Bei, who is ambitious and capricious, is more dangerous than Cao Jun, who was troubled by food, grass and epidemics during his expedition.Let it go, sooner or later, Liu Bei will be in serious trouble.

In the final analysis, one side is Longzhong's ingenious plan to divide the world into three parts, and the other side is to rule the world for Erhua Jiang. The contradiction has been planted as early as the beginning. Since they have created this foolproof opportunity for Jiangdong, Zhou Gongjin has no choice but to follow the plan reason.

"Duke Ming will be reluctant?"

Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia's smiling face, and there was a trace of obscurity in his eyes.He was indeed a little unbearable, a little pity, a little sad, but that's all.Conquest on the battlefield, life and death, there is no room for compassion.

"Warrior, wrapped in horse leather, died on the battlefield. It's a blessing. I don't have to feel sorry for him."

Holding the black piece in his hand, he steadily knocked the piece to the place where the white character lifeblood was.

The overall situation has been decided, life and death have been divided, and there is no way to turn back to heaven, so fate should be like this.

Let Guan Yunchang's life be given to Jiang Dong.
