Chapter 10 Zhuge Gong (2) ()

When Zhang Shuo entered Caicheng, he realized that when Pang Hui heard that the governor Le Lin was beheaded. He knew that Zhuge Dan was going to rebel, so he brought dozens of confidant soldiers to abandon the city and headed north. He intended to send the news to Xu Yu first to be prepared and then go to the court to report. The group rushed to the night and tricked the gate of Caicheng. He said that Cai Ling was Zhuge Dan's official, so he threw him into the prison. He said that he was the general, that is, Zhang Shuo's army rushed to the previous hour. Zhang Shuo looked at Cai Ling who had just been released from the prison, and was angry, the arrow broke and fainted.

In the Huai River and Yangzhou, most counties have changed their flags and accepted Zhuge Dan's rule. Everything is in the plan, and Zhuge Dan's mind is calm. A man walked into the hall, with a tiger back and a bear waist and a martial body, a white face as white as jade, but a literary face, rough and delicate, and a weak literary combination of mightyness, but he was a confidant and beloved general Jiang Ban.

"Thank you for your hard work, sit down and moisten your throat." Zhuge Dan relied heavily on Jiang Ban, and knew that during this period, Jiang Ban was responsible for integrating the money and food of military soldiers from all over the country, and it was extremely hard.

"General, there is news coming from my hometown. I have read it." Jiang Ban took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhuge Dan. Seeing that Zhuge Dan's face was as normal, he turned around and took his seat.

"It's just Pang Hui. This son is like his father. It's my negligence. But Zhang Shuo..." The following words did not say that Zhang Shuo could not defeat less than forty people in two thousand people, and he was seriously injured, which made people laugh.

"Pang Hui sneaked northward, and Zhang Shuo was not prepared for it, so it was inevitable that he underestimated the enemy. Zhang Shuo would be in chaos if he injured the army. Besides, Pang Hui was quite brave and everyone was a little afraid, and it was understandable that he could run out." Jiang Ban was the chief think tank under Zhuge Dan's seat, and he was also a good player in the battle formation. It can be said that he was both civil and military. After analyzing it, he almost restored the situation of the battle at that time.

"It is just that this time, the land of Huainan has been invincible to compete with a country. There are many brave and intelligent people in the country. If all the troops are like this, it may damage morale."

"What Zi Fang said is so true, so he can order the nearby army and horses to encircle and suppress the troops along the way, and take their heads to boost our army's morale." Pang Hui's dozens of cavalry were difficult to cause trouble. The murder of Lelin will also spread to all places sooner or later. However, if Pang Hui killed it, it is a good thing to boost morale, and it will be a good thing to use this to intimidate other people with ulterior motives to kill two birds with one stone.

"The soldiers and horses of each county have been counted. The Huainan army has 37,500 infantry and cavalry, 6,300 people in Huainan, 42,000 people in Lujiang, 73,000 troops in various places, plus 7,050 people in the general headquarters, a total of 165,850 people. The food, grass and supplies are sufficient for one year." Before Zhuge Dan could ask, Jiang Ban first reported on his work.

"Okay, when the troops return, they will summon the generals to raise an uprising, and you will handle all matters." Zhuge Dan was used to his shrewdness and competence.

Not everyone will struggle in adversity, especially in a life-threatening environment. Compared with loyalty and belief, more people care more about life and survival. The entire Huainan region has honestly accepted reality, followed Zhuge Dan's orders, and prepared to compete with the Wei State and the Sima family in the face of drums. Among them, there are those who hate Sima's autocracy and are absolutely loyal to Cao Wei, some have to go with the flow in order to live, and some deliberately seek to abide by the power of wealth and power.

Shi Quan, who was responsible for sweeping Huaibei, was very happy to receive the news of encircling and suppressing Pang Hui. The first brave general under Zhuge Dan was Jiang Ban, but Jiang Ban was both wise and brave, and he was always regarded as a think tank by Zhuge Dan. Below Jiang Ban was himself and Pang Hui, and the two had always been dissatisfied. Now Pang Hui has rebelled, and the title of brave general finally fell on him. According to the scout's reward, Pang Hui was nearby, and it was also a pleasure to kill Pang Hui to relieve his hatred in his heart. As he thought about it, he couldn't help laughing.

After listening to the scout report, Lu Fan thought for a while and said, "Pang Hui is brave and good at fighting, Zhang Shuo has suffered a loss, so we should not underestimate him."

When Shi Quan heard this, he looked unhappy: "Can't you and me get a few dozen people?"

Lu Fan didn't care: "I don't mean this, but Zhang Shuo's reputation was revealed by wisdom and was seriously injured. It would be better to be careful with you and me."

Shi Quanlu thought about Lu Fan's words, and Zhang Shuo always boasted of his wisdom. Although he looked down on Zhang Shuo, Zhang Shuo's ability to march and set up formations was indeed better than him.

"In this way, we will go to chase you immediately, just need the horse army to entangle it, and when my infantry arrives, he will die without a burial place."

There are less than 200 cavalry here, and the cavalry commander Lu Fan is the commander of the general. The rest are infantry. Shi Quanxin thought to let Lu Fan lead the cavalry to catch up with Pang Hui, try to entangle him and not let Pang Hui run away. Once these thousands of people arrive, Pang Hui will definitely die and make a great contribution.

When Lu Fan saw Shi Quan say this, he couldn't help laughing. He thought to himself that Shi Quankong had a lot of force, and he would definitely surround Pang Hui to seek his first merit. What should you do when you infantrymen do? It would be too straightforward to say that he was too good at robbing me. Seeing Shi Quan's duel, he sneered again.

"Pang Hui has always had a reputation for being brave, Fan thought he was not his opponent. If he couldn't get entangled, he might have caused the general's reputation."

When Shi Quan heard this, he was so good at it. Pang Hui could only hold on to it. If he had not arrived, the road was cut off by someone. Not only did he have to say nothing about his credit, he would have to end up like Zhang Shuo and become a joke for others to talk.

"What should I do in your opinion?" Shi Quan had no choice but to ask Lu Fan and see what this kid said first.

Lu Fan laughed secretly, waiting for you to ask, Zhengrong replied: "According to Fan's opinion, Pang Hui wanted to go north, so he had to pass Shixia. Fan led his people to take a shortcut to Shixia and ambush him first. When Pang Hui went deeper, blocked his way with stone wood, and the general led his people to block the back road. In this way, Pang Hui would be unable to fly."

Shi Quan was overjoyed: "I will follow the general."

"Fan leads people first, and the general can make a big splash to chase Pang Hui." Seeing this, Lu Fan bowed and wanted to leave.

"Okay, then. What if Pang didn't walk through the stone gorge?" Shi Quan was overjoyed and thought of this question, he was secretly proud and felt a little accomplished.

"Pang Hui has been running around for days, and his men and horses are exhausted. Seeing that there are pursuers, he can only take shortcuts to survive. How can he have the power to go around? The general can rest assured. If there is any deviation, Fan will bear it."

Shi Quan was happy to see Lu Fan's words. At that moment, the two of them divided their troops and led their troops away.

Shi Quan led the infantry and rushed to Pang Hui. Pang Hui and others rested in the forest, and their own personal soldiers took charge of the scouts and alerted him. He saw him from afar and hurriedly reported. Everyone was shocked, and there were still pursuers here. Now they are running around day and night, and they are trapped and horse-ridden. What should we do?

Pang Hui lifted his sword and rode his horse and said, "There is Shixia not far ahead. You can enter Xu all the way north. You should go quickly."

"We have been found. The thieves should know that we want to go to Shixia. It is better to change the way and leave the pursuers away." Everyone also got on the horse, and a small school reminded him.

President Pang sighed: "Walking around day and night, people are trapped and horses are exhausted. You should gather your strength and rush across the Shixia in one go to survive. If you walk around, people can still fight, but horses are powerless, and sooner or later you will be caught up by the thieves. Moreover, since you know our traces, the bandits will inevitably communicate with each other, and there is no way to survive when they are surrounded on several sides."

"We are willing to follow the general, but only follow the general's order!" Even though we have doubts, the people who have followed Pang Hui for a long time still trust Pang Hui.

Shouchun is the capital of Huainan, and it has been a military center throughout the dynasties. Now, officials at all levels of Yangzhou have gathered together with officials from both Huainans. Zhuge Dan was a banquet for the ministers in the general's mansion. The ministers knew that there was no good banquet for the banquet, and they saw that they were not allowed to bring weapons into the mansion. They knew that this trip was dangerous, but they dared not come. After drinking for three rounds, Zhuge Dan said: "The Sima family is tyrannical and bullying the lords, and Dan couldn't bear to see him. Now he wants to raise the army in Huainan to attack Sima, and to clear the treacherous and slandered people, all Wei ministers, can they help me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, one of the ministers slapped the table and shouted, "Zhuge Pi, do you want to learn from Wang Yanyun, aren't Qiu Zhonggong?" Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Who was impatient to live and dared to speak like this? Looking at it, it was the commander of Qin Zi.

Qin Zee kicked over the food case, strode to the front hall, pointed at Zhuge Dan and cursed: "The court entrusted you with the border, but you are not grateful. Instead, you want to support your troops and respect yourself, raise troops to cause chaos, kill innocent people, and do things against you. Your words are only hidden from the three-year-old child. Do you want to deceive the world?" Qin Zee was passionate and cursed while walking towards Zhuge Dan. "All the officials of the court are important officials and pillars of the country. Do you want to seek death with this man?"

Zhuge Dan's face was as deep as water, and the guards on both sides had already come out, and spears stabbed Qin Zeyuan to the ground. Qin Zeyuan ignored the pain and still cursed: "The bold traitor, the ignorant rat, who is betrayal of ancestors and abandons virtue, and I wish I could eat your flesh!" The soldiers were storming with guns, and Qin Zeyuan was bleeding like a rush, and he still opened his mouth. Zhuge Dan walked up and stabbed Qin Zeyuan into the mouth with a shot. Qin Zeyuan was exhausted and fell to the ground and died.

"You guys want to die, so I'm just like this." Zhuge Dan snorted coldly and scanned everyone. Among the crowd, the chief clerk Xuan raised his body and walked to Qin Ze's corpse, caressing the corpse and cried bitterly.

Zhuge Dan asked angrily: "Do you want to die?"

Xuan Long raised his eyes and said, "I don't want to."

"Do you want to live?"

"certainly."

"Why do you cry when you want to live?"

"I have to cry because I am afraid of death."

"Since I'm afraid of death, I'll retreat quickly, and I won't kill you."

"I am a minister of the Great Wei Dynasty and do not follow the words of rebels."

"Those who follow me will live, and those who go against me will die. You choose your own life and death."

"I want to live, but I also fear death."

"Since that's the case, why bother me?"

"Although I want to live, I am not as good as death as I am to deal with the thief with my body. Those who cry must die today! It's ridiculous and brainless thief who still chats endlessly, so kill me quickly!"

Zhuge Danben wanted to use Xuanlong to show his demeanor, but he did not want to be teased by Xuanlong instead. He was furious and ordered the warrior to drag him out. Xuanlong's face remained unchanged and he went to his death with a sigh. The warriors then chopped Xuanlong's knives into meat paste. Seeing this, many of the ministers cried, but none of them dared to say anything again.

Pang Hui and others were chased by Shi Quan and went straight into Shixia. Less than a few miles, but when they saw a Biao army blocking the way, everyone was gloomy. Seeing that there were more than a hundred cavalry, the flag was that the cavalry commander General Lu Fan. Everyone was exhausted and had not finished their rice grains, Pang Huiqiang raised his sword and turned around and said to everyone: "I am thinking that I am not good at this place, and I will fight hard to open the road." Everyone knew that Pang Hui was also at the end of his strength, so he shouted, "We are willing to die with the general!"
