Chapter 581 The Fall of Zhou Cang

Ma Teng shook his head and sighed in his heart. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, people, whether poor or rich or noble, paid great attention to their appearance. Even ordinary ordinary people would tidy up carefully before going out to make themselves look more bright and beautiful. Such behavior was regarded as the most basic etiquette. This is true for ordinary people, not to mention high-ranking princes.

People's appearance is the appearance, and people often get to know each other through their faces first. If they are handsome and beautiful, it is very easy to win the preconceived appreciation of the other party. But if it is ugly, or undressed and incomplete, it will often be unreasonably despised.

Just like the phoenix chick Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan, who will become famous all over the world in the future. At that time, the Battle of Red Cliff was in progress. Pang Tong avoided the chaos in Jiangdong and recommended it to Zhou Yu for Lu Su. At that time, Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang had come up with a plan to attack the fire, but Cao Ying's ships were arranged in the river, and the ships were far apart. If you attack with fire, I'm afraid you can burn very little. Zhou Yu was thinking hard about this. Pang Tong's wisdom was superior. At a glance, he saw Zhou Yu's worries in his heart. He immediately said a shocking plan and a series of plans. Zhou Yu was shocked by nature. He despised Pang Tong's ugly appearance, but he immediately put it away and praised Pang Tong many times.

After that, Pang Tong entered Cao's camp to present a series of plans. At that time, Cao Cao was also worried about the soldiers' unconvinced. He heard Pang Tong's plan and chained the ships, so that the ships were connected, just like walking on the ground. Cao Cao was overjoyed and believed it. As Pang Tong said, after all the ships were chained, the signs of soldiers' disosure have greatly improved.

Later, because of Pang Tong's series of plans, Zhou Yuhuo defeated millions of Cao troops and achieved the glory of the Battle of Red Cliff. Pang Tong has made a lot of contributions to this battle. It can even be said that without Pang Tong's series of plans, there would be no shocking battle of Mei Zhoulang burning the Red Cliff.

With this series of tricks alone, Pang Tong's super resourcefulness is not inferior to Zhou Yu, the governor of Jiangdong. Unfortunately, after the Battle of Chibi, Zhou Yu soon died of illness, and as soon as Zhou Yu died, Pang Tong's position in Jiangdong immediately plummeted. Lu Su, who succeeded the position of governor of Zhou Yu, once admonged Sun Quan to use Pang Tong. Unexpectedly, because of Pang Tong's ugly appearance, Sun Quan not only did not reuse it for him, but also ignored him many times. Pang Tong was depressed in Jiangdong and finally aspired. Later, he was invited by Zhuge Liang, so he went to Jingzhou to turn to Liu Bei. Although Pang Tong had a series of shocking plans, Liu Bei was still light-hearted because of Pang Tong's ugly appearance, and even let Pang Tong, a peerless virtuous talent, lead a county order.

Sun Quan and Liu Bei are the world's heroes, and they are still neglected because of their appearance, not to mention ordinary ordinary people.

Li You is not only ugly in appearance and more mutilated, but Wen Han did not despise him at all. Instead, he worshipped him as Sima to sacrifice wine and gave him a heavy post. No wonder Ma Teng feels like this.

The Xiliang army and the Yongshou garrison killed until night, and the night fell. Although the Xiliang army gradually gained the upper hand, the Yongshou wall was often broken, but it took a continuous fierce attack to break through this Yongshou. Ma Teng saw that the soldiers were tired when they attacked for a long time. If they attacked hard, they would only create more unnecessary casualties. Ma Teng also studied the way of using troops. Knowing that this was not the time to be strong for a while, he ordered the withdrawal of troops.

With the sound of the horn blowing up, the Xiliang army retreated with the sound. Pound and Zhou Cang have not won or lost from dawn to night. Today's fight. At the beginning, Pound has always had the upper hand. The offensive force has over Zhou Cang. Zhou Cang can only wait and wait for the right time. Once Pang's gap appears, he will defend and attack, but they are all blocked by Pound. Later, the two of them had a lot of understanding of each other's knife style, and there were very few vacancy.

However, Zhoucang has a pair of scud legs and a pair of iron foot plates. In the past, when picking and selling private salt, he used to travel a hundred miles a day, and his endurance was beyond ordinary people's imagination. As the two fought longer and longer, Zhou Cang's strong endurance gradually came into play. When the two killed at noon, Zhou Cang's first team of Scuds could still walk quickly. On the contrary, Pound's footsteps were a little messy.

When it came to the night, Zhou Cang had a little upper hand, and Pound was shocked by Zhou Cang's Scud and endurance. Pound's fatigue was revealed. At this time, the horn of Mingjin's withdrawal of troops sounded again, and Pound wanted to withdraw. However, Zhou Cang's eyes were full of evil eyes. The seven-foot knife was slightly flat, and as soon as Pang De stepped back, he immediately split away with the knife.

Pang De's eyes condensed, and he suddenly stepped on his feet. He did not retreat but moved forward. He held the knife in both hands, and split the Huashan knife with one move, and suddenly split the head of Zhou Cang. Zhou Cang didn't expect that Pang De would not retreat and move forward, so he quickly picked up a knife to block it. Suddenly, the lion-headed machete was strong, and it skillfully hit the seven-foot knife. Pound used his strength to flick his body, and his body suddenly floated away, and then his heel fell on a wall. Several civilian soldiers were around Pound, but they did not dare to move forward, but retreated in horror.

"Pang Lingming, it's not a good man who escaped!"

Zhou Cang raised his knife and chased him and shouted loudly. Pound looked cold, jumped to the cloud ladder, and shouted back at the same time.

"Zhou Dinggongxiu should be arrogant. If it is not for the military order, he will fight with you for another 300 rounds!!"

When Zhou Cang caught up, Pound had fallen on the ladder, and Pound ran quickly. Zhou Cang's spirit was relaxed, and then he found that there was a violent paralysis from his hands. His arms vibrated even more, and the muscles and bones of his arms seemed to be crying.

Pound's offensive is extremely strong, and his arm strength is more than 1,000 catties. Zhou Cang was attacked by Pound for nearly half a day, and his arms were also fast to the limit. If Pound does not retreat and kill him again, it is still unknown who will win and who will lose.

Yongshou City was attacked by the Xiliang army for two consecutive days, and there were casualties on both sides. Of course, as an attacker, the number of soldiers killed in the Xiliang Army is naturally much more than that of the Yongshou defenders. However, the Yongshou Army also paid a lot of price. There were many holes in the Yongshou wall, and there were several holes, which were as big as three people. If you are attacked by the Xiliang army for a few more days, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for Yongshou to hold on again.

The fierce attack of the Xiliang Army for two consecutive days has exhausted the physical strength of almost every soldier. Ma Teng knows the truth that the tired soldiers should not fight, so that the soldiers rest for three days and give the soldiers enough time to refresh themselves.

After three days of strange silence in Yongshou City, Ma Teng led the army to Yongshou again. The Xiliang Army's offensive is like the tide of the sea, one wave after another, and each wave of attack is much more fierce than the previous wave. The Xiliang army was killed from early to night, even for two days. Yongshou City was attacked in a dilapidated and full of barbarians.

Ma Teng saw that he broke through Yongshou, and the day was just around the corner, and he didn't feel happy. However, Ma Teng did not dare to be careless in the face of Li You, a terrible opponent. In the past two days, Ma Teng saw that the soldiers' offensive was slow and tired, so he made the army retreat and never entangle.

Li You saw that Ma Teng was good at using troops, and he was also very impressed.

"When attacking and retreating, you don't show off the benefits for a while, and you know that the soldiers are tired. No wonder this Ma Shoucheng can dominate in Xiliang. If he hadn't been cheated by this world scam this time, it would have been impossible to destroy his power in three or five years!"

The Xiliang Army attacked for another two days and saw that Yongshou City was about to be broken, which greatly increased the morale of the Xiliang Army. At this time when the victory was about to be decided, Ma Teng was not in a hurry to attack again, and made the soldiers rest for three days. He wanted to break through Yongshou in the first battle!

The Xiliang Army is resting, or because the city is about to be broken, but Yongshou City is terribly quiet, as if it is nurturing an unknown storm.

One day, in the camp of the Xiliang Army.

Pound's eyes are bright and he is in high spirits. It seems that something great has happened. There are two things that make Pang De happy. One is the battle between him and Zhou Cang these days, which can be said to make him very happy. After all, Zhou Cang and his martial arts are only between Bo Zhong, and the eight methods of Spring and Autumn made by Zhou Cang are very exquisite. Pang De is also a martial arts idiot and is quite curious about Zhou Cang's knife skills. In the hand of the two, Pound found that his martial arts skills had improved slightly, which surprised Pound. It can be seen that if a general at his level wants to be further promoted, it is only possible unless he experiences one or more life-and-death wars. He may also learn peerless martial arts, understand its subtlety, learn its tricks, and suddenly realize it. The life-and-death war is to fight with your life. If you are not careful, you will even take your own life, and the peerless martial arts can be met but not sought. At this point, it is difficult for super-class generals such as Pound to be promoted.

Or it was Zhou Cang and Pound's martial arts. Pound was greatly forced, so Pound stimulated the potential in his body, and because Zhou Cang's eight methods of spring and autumn were unpredictable, Pound fought fiercely for days, so it was not impossible to understand his knife skills. It is also quite reasonable to combine the above two factors to explain Pound's breakthrough.

This is one of the promotion of martial arts, and the other is about Zhou Cang.

It is said that Pound and Zhou Cang have been fighting fiercely for many days. From the beginning, the two were like water and fire, to later they respected each other, and then the relationship between the two was a little wonderful. The two seemed to be fighting for their lives, but every time they reached their limit, they still had a tacit understanding and would never kill again.

This kind of relationship is like an enemy and a friend. A few days ago, when the Xiliang Army launched the last wave of offensive, Pang De saw that Yongshou was difficult to defend, so he retreated from the battle in Zhoucang and killed a small area.

Pound suddenly said something amazing. On the grounds that it is difficult to live a long life, he made another righteous word. In the theory of treason, Ma Teng's loyalty to the country actually wanted to persuade Zhou Cang to defect. Zhou Cang also seems to find that it is difficult to stick to Yongshou, but he is hesitant. Seeing this, Pang De did not force it, but after analyzing the situation in front of Zhou Cang, he retreated freely.

It's just how could Pound expect that Zhou Cang had been waiting for the opportunity to cheat. It's just that there has never been a suitable opportunity. If you rush to invest, you are afraid that Ma Teng will be suspicious. At present, Pound's persuasion can be said to give Zhou Cang an excellent excuse.

On the second day, Zhou Cang sent an entourage to secretly sneak out of Yongshou and rushed to Xiliang Military Camp Village to find Pang De. As soon as Pound heard that someone was looking for him, he was overjoyed and guessed that this must be someone sent by Zhou Cang to reply to the defection.

Pound hurriedly greeted Zhou Cang's entourage, and the entourage told Pound what Zhou Cang meant. Zhou Cang's reply made Pang laugh on the spot. Because Zhou Cang has decided to surrender Ma Teng, and made an appointment to serve as an inner response in the city at the beginning of tomorrow. When the Xiliang army arrived, he immediately opened the gate and responded to it inside and outside to attack Yongshou!

After Pound gave a slight reward to Zhou Cang's entourage, he ordered him to return. Then Pound hurried to Ma Teng's tent to find Ma Teng.

I only saw the brilliant lights and candles on the tent. Ma Teng sat down with a few dangers. His face was dark and happy, and his eyes were shining brightly. As soon as Ma Teng saw Pound walking in, he called Pound in a very good mood, and then asked Pound what was important to do late at night.

"Hahahaha! Lord, happy event, great event!"

Pound had a face and laughed on the spot. Pound usually doesn't show his joy and anger. It's rare. Ma Teng couldn't help but be a little strange and raised his eyebrows.

"Oh? Where does the joy come from?

"Do you know whether Zhou Dinggong, the cavalry under Wen Bofan's command?"

Ma Teng was slightly stunned. There are many famous generals under Wen Han's command, but he has rarely heard of Ding Gong's name this week. However, Ma Teng's face soon changed. Pound was so happy that this person must be related to him.

Suddenly, Ma Teng's mind unconsciously rose to the fierce general who had been fighting with Pang De during these days. Ma Teng loved him very much. He once asked Pound the name of this person, as if it was Zhou Dinggong.

Then Ma Teng thought that Yongshou was about to break through. Suddenly, Ma Teng suddenly stared at the lion's eyes and seemed to have guessed something.

"It's Ling Ming that Zhou Dinggong wants to come to my command!"

"The Lord expects things to be like God, that's exactly what it is! Zhou Dinggong and I met on the battlefield. Although they were hostile, we respected each other. Two days ago, I persuaded him to surrender. At that time, Zhou Dinggong was quite suspicious, but fortunately, he was a handsome man who knew current affairs, and finally got a reply today!"

"Can Zhou Dinggong be in the camp? Take me to see you as soon as you can!!"

Ma Teng won a big victory. It seemed that he couldn't wait to see Zhou Cang and accept him under his command. As soon as Ma Teng stood up, he grabbed Pound's hand and wanted to rush out of the camp.

"Master, don't worry, Zhou Dinggong is not in the camp. He only sent his entourage to reply, and did not go to the camp in person.

"Oh. I heard that Zhou Dinggong wanted to vote, and I was overjoyed. I just wanted to see his dignity, but unfortunately, he was still in the enemy camp and couldn't meet him.

Ma Teng's face was full of disappointment, but Pound laughed.

"Lord, Zhou Dinggong knows your righteousness and surrenders. If a baby's parents are looking forward to it, how can he not come to see you as soon as possible? There is a reason why he is still in the enemy camp. Lord, don't look at Zhou Ding's appearance as a reckless man. In fact, he has a delicate heart inside. He asked his followers to tell me that he wants to vote for the lord. If there is no merit, he is afraid that he will lose his lord's great use.
