Chapter 28 Pang Tong's Plan
"The water level of the moat drops?" Pan Feng muttered to himself. At the prompt of the soldier, he seemed to remember something. The inspiration suddenly flashed, but he still didn't think of anything wrong.
"You mean that the water in the moat never drops at this time?"
The soldier touched his head and said honestly, "The water level of the moat has dropped, but it's not at this time. It usually starts around December. I don't know why this year is earlier than usual."
In an instant, Pan Feng patted his head, and he remembered something was wrong.
He suddenly recalled a famous example during the Three Kingdoms period. Cao Cao besieged Lv Bu, Xia Pi, the city was solid, and there were 100 days of grain storage in the city, which was very similar to the current Yongcheng. Cao Cao did not break it several times. At this time, Cao Cao had Yuan Shao's worries in the north and Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu in the east. Several princes saw that Cao Cao's army was restrained by Lv Bu and were ready to move in Yanzhou, which made Cao anxious.
At this time, Guo Jia, his military commander, gave Cao Cao a plan. At this time, in time of the rainy season, the water level of the Suragawa River, not far from Xia Pi, soared, so Cao Cao sent people to block the estuary and intensified the speed of water rise. In the last step, the Sishui River was dug, and the flood spread to Xia Pi and easily captured Xia Pi City.
However, this move has harmed hundreds of thousands of Pi soldiers and civilians, so Cao Cao has also suffered a lot of controversy in later generations.
If the water level of the moat drops for no reason, is Zhang Lu to blame? If the Yudai River breaks the embankment, Zhang Lu can easily capture the three counties of Yongcheng without a single soldier. Even if Pan Feng retreated to Yangping Pass at that time, it is a military fortress. There are no people in it. Without the foundation of the people, how can they stand there?
How can the skin be attached without hair?
Thinking about Pan Feng, she was afraid and trotted out of the city wall to find Tian Feng.
The soldiers looked at their general strangely. They were fine just now. Why did they suddenly look worried? Did you leave in a hurry?
However, this episode did not affect the mood of the soldiers to eat. They were just a pawn and naturally didn't think much. They did whatever the general asked them to do, so they soon didn't think about what they couldn't figure out. Everyone talked and laughed while eating.
Pan Feng quickly returned to the city owner's mansion. At this time, Tian Feng was sitting in front of the table, fiddling with several chess pieces in his hand, frowning as if he was thinking about something.
Pan Feng pushed the door and interrupted his thinking. Seeing that Pan Feng came back, he said to him solemnly, "General, what you just said makes sense. I have been thinking about it for a long time and feel that Zhang Lu does have a conspiracy, but I can't judge his intention for the time being. I think we'd better adapt to changes first to see what he has. What's the action?
"Military, I'm afraid it's too late when we guess his intention." Pan Feng ran too fast when she came back, and now she is out of breath, and her resolute face is also red.
Tian Feng was a little puzzled. He looked at Pan Feng doubtfully and asked, "Why, the general has guessed Zhang Lu's plan?"
Pan Feng took a deep breath and calmed down her excitement. Then slowly spit out, and the rapid breath gradually became stable.
"I just went to the wall, and there were soldiers chatting inadvertently. Guess what I heard."
"Don't sell the key, my lord, what do you know?" Tian Feng asked hurriedly.
When Tian Fengyi said, Pan Feng also smiled with some embarrassment. This is the way of talking accustomed to chatting with friends in modern times.
"Some local soldiers said that the water level of our moat is falling, and the water of the moat is drawn from the Yudai River not far from Yong County."
"Wait." Tian Feng interrupted Pan Feng. With his eyes narrowed, he seemed to think of something, and then muttered to himself, "The water level drops. Does Zhang Lu want to..."
Pan Feng sighed that Tian Feng was worthy of being a smart person. With such a slight reminder, he figured everything out.
"That's right, Yuan Hao, I also doubt that Zhang Lu wants to flood Yongcheng." Pan Feng nodded and said.
"Bang." Tian Feng patted his palm, narrowed his eyes and sighed, "Is this plan malicious? Zhang Lu is probably planning this. Fortunately, the lord found it in time."
"We have guessed Zhang Lu's intention. I don't know if Yuan Hao has any way to crack it." Pan Feng asked.
Tian Feng thought for a long time and sighed and shook his head.
"Lord, didn't I say that his plan is vicious! Unless we can defeat Zhang Lu in one fell swoop in recent days, we can only withdraw from Hanzhong.
"I underestimated Zhang Lu." Pan Feng sneered.
......
At this time, Zhang Lu's camp outside the city.
In the Chinese army's tent, several beauties are constantly dancing, and their sexy bodies are constantly twisting, which even brings some coolness to this sultry tent.
"Come on, Mr. Pang Tong, I'll give you a toast." Zhang Lu said with a laugh.
A man with a strangely ugly appearance and a very uncoordinated proportion of facial features picked up the wine glass and replied, "You're welcome." His expression was not sad or happy. A county magistrate toasted him. He didn't look excited and was very plain.
Yang Song, who was also on the side, looked at Pang Tong with dissatisfaction. He was not only dissatisfied with Pang Tong's arrogant attitude, but also because Pang Tong's arrival shook the throne of his first military division in Hanzhong.
The ancient tradition was to take the left side as the throne. At this time, it was a feast in the army, and the left side was full of counselors and scholars. On the right is a general. Zhang Lu sat in the main seat. Originally, according to the tradition, Yang Song sat in the first position on the left. However, today Zhang Lu intended to promote Pang Tong and placed him in the first position on the left.
"Mr. Pang Tong's plan to flood Yongcheng is really a help in the snow. When I destroy Pan Feng, I will definitely take down the heads of him and Wei Yan dog thief and the three General Yang who died in the battle before the memorial battle." However, Zhang Lu looked a little sad, and he said slightly reluctantly, "It's a pity that my own brother Zhang Wei."
Pang Tong has the title of Fengchi in the Three Kingdoms, and someone once praised, "Wolong, Fengchiu can settle the world with one." He came to Zhang Lu's barracks the day before yesterday. Because of his ugly appearance, he was even driven out by the guards. However, when the guards drove him away, he shouted that he had a plan to break Pan Feng. Zhang Lu, who passed by inadvertently, heard it, so he was invited to the account. At this time, the strategy that troubled Tian Feng and Pan Feng was made by Pang Tong.
As soon as Zhang Lu said this, many literati who wanted to flatter him, the 'master', were suddenly sad. Some people even cried bitterly, as if it was not Zhang Lu's younger brother who was captured by Pan Feng at this time, just like their own brother.
"Hmm." Pang Tong snorted disdainfully, and he despised these futile incompetence in his heart. Picking up the glass, he drank another glass of himself. Although his face was calm, he sighed in his heart: "Zhang Lu and his incompetent men are not good, but this pear blossom wine is a rare good wine."
With the wine glass, he kept looking at the bronze wine bottle in front of him, as if he had seen the scene of water overflowing Jinshan a few days later. He sighed in his heart: "Pan Feng! Pan Feng! I hope you won't let me down. If you want to become my lord of Pang Tong, you have to show me some real skills.
