A day later.

Outside the city of Xiangyang.

"Brother, you already have a serious illness, I have sent someone to find Zhang Ji of the Zhang family, his Qihuang technique is the first in Jingzhou, as long as he can rush back to diagnose you, you will definitely be cured!"

Next to the carriage, Pang Degong was bitterly admonishing.

"Degong, although Zhang Ji is extraordinary, but the old man's body, the old man himself knows!" Pang Ji was on crutches, and the two Ponzi guards around him were holding him, so he could walk a few steps, and his cloudy eyes showed a touch of essence: "If it is cured well, it doesn't matter if it is not cured, it will be determined in a few days, it should be a catastrophe, and you can't hide it!" ”

"But ......"

Pang Degong looked at his brother's crumbling body, and he was still a little unbearable.

"Degong, there is no need to say more!"

Pang Ji waved his hand: "You have never been good at the struggle for power, and it is not a blessing to enter the official career, if you can educate people in the future, it is also the right way, but today, in the vast and troubled times, my Pang family needs to survive, my brother is sick and crippled, so I will fight for a talisman for the Pang family!" ”

"Brother!" Pang Degong's eyes moistened.

No wonder my brother wants to go on the expedition, in the final analysis, it is because of himself, he has no intention of career, but the Pang family is famous in Jingzhou, if there is no protection of power, it will be destroyed.

The elder brother wants to use his last light to bury a trace of guilt in Liu Biao's heart, and also earn more protection for the Pang family.

In other words, he didn't want to come back alive.

"Brother, I am willing to go on a career in office!"

Pound said in a choked voice.

"The road to the official career, how can it be arbitrary, I don't want to force you, if it is the Pang family, even if you don't want to, I won't follow your heart, but your personality is like this, it's difficult!"

Pang Ji shook his head.

Pang Degong suddenly showed a bitter face, indeed, his character is not suitable for officialdom at all, and if he really enters, as his brother said, it is a curse rather than a blessing.

"The Pang family will entrust you in the future, and my son will also entrust you!"

Pang Ji got into the carriage and said softly.

"Brother, rest assured, I will defend the Pang family with life and death!"

Pang Degong knelt down and saluted, and sent the carriage away.

……

Ten miles on the outskirts of the city, the soldiers and horses of the Jiangxia battalion gathered, the two main generals Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng were lined up left and right, wearing battle armor, holding military power, riding horses, behind them, there were 5,000 soldiers in a column, full of fierce spirit inside and out.

At this time, a carriage appeared and stopped in front.

"Zhang Hu, Chen Sheng!"

On top of the carriage, an old man walked down.

"Meet Ji Gong!"

Zhang Hu Chen Sheng hurriedly bowed his head and bowed, their attitude was not perfunctory, but sincere.

"Blame the old man?"

Pang Ji asked softly.

"Don't dare!" Zhang Hu gritted his teeth and said a word, while Chen Sheng was silent.

Compared with Zhang Hu, Chen Sheng's mood is even more depressed and helpless, he doesn't care who comes, why is it Pang Ji, if there is one person he is unwilling to betray, only Pang Ji.

"It's the old man, I'm sorry to wait!" Pang Ji said softly.

"We never complain about Ji Gong, if there is no Ji Gong to support, how can we be here today!" Zhang Hu said in a loud voice: "I just hate him for being a dignified Jingzhou pastor, but he backtracked!" ”

"The old man knows that you have a grudge in your heart!"

Pang Ji's face remained unchanged, and said: "This battle should not have allowed you to go north, it was the old man who fought for it, the old man persuaded you to surrender, in order for Jingzhou to be peaceful, but the old man lost your trust, today the old man still let you wait to go north, still for the peace of Jingzhou, after this battle, you will not die, the old man is willing to swear with his life, in front of the lord, Bao Er and other origins, if you violate this oath, you will be destroyed on the same day!" ”

"Ji Gong's oath, I believe it!"

Zhang Hu's pupils widened, and he immediately arched his hand and said: "When you are in front of the saddle for Ji Gong, on the battlefield, you will never retreat!" ”

Chen Sheng was silent, unable to say a word, and the balance in his heart was struggling......

**********************************

Jingzhou reinforcements are coming, but the main force of the herding army has come to the city.

Jingping's Second Army gathered three battalions.

The Violent Bear Army, which also gathered three battalions.

The main force is nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses.

Three camps are set up in a row, namely the south of Fancheng, above the Han River, and the north of Fancheng, forming a triangular shape against Fancheng, and the sharp angle of the front of the triangle shape is the water village above the Han River, and the army is the strongest.

The army was stationed, and the main generals were also in place.

The southern suburbs of Fancheng.

The main camp of the Violent Bear Army.

The camp is composed of eight camps on the left, right, right, front and back, forming a large circle, and the main account of the Chinese army is in the center of the position, stable as Mount Tai, there are watchtowers on the left and right, and you can directly watch the situation above Fancheng.

"This Fancheng is not easy to fight!"

Huang Zhong is the main general, he stood on the lookout, personally observed the battlefield, his eyes were a little gloomy, the terrain of this Fancheng is really rare, if you want to attack, you can only attack hard.

"Fancheng is difficult to fight, but the most difficult thing is the general of the Jingzhou Army in the city!"

Xi Zhicai rushed all the way from Hanzhong, and by boat, at least, day and night, he rushed to Fancheng in a short period of time, and he didn't have much rest, and immediately devoted himself to the analysis of Fancheng, as a military division, he had to let the main general have a clearer impression of Fancheng's defense: "In fact, the troops in the city are not very strong, and because we swept away the periphery before, the city was besieged, and the morale was very low, if we attacked, we have a chance!" ”

"But Fancheng's defense is a little weird!"

"There are some figures in the city, the army seems to be there, there may not be, if not, there may be, it can't be seen clearly!"

"Obviously, this is the Jingzhou lord in the city who wants to create a chaotic vision for us, so that we can't see clearly and can't figure it out!"

"Who will this lord be?" Xi Zhicai asked.

"Wenpin!"

Zhou Cang replied: "We fought once, two days ago, I attacked, he defended, fought a battle, martial arts, control the battlefield, I am not as good as him, this is a very terrifying general!" ”

"Is that him?"

The corners of Xi Zhicai's mouth raised slightly: "Wen Zhongye, the most important general in Jingzhou that cannot be ignored, let us meet it at the beginning!" ”

"Xi Sima, do you have a chance to lure him out?"

Huang Zhong asked suddenly.

The battle was too cruel, with a thousand enemies wounded and eight hundred self-inflicted, and if they could be pulled out of the city to fight, it would be in line with the intention of the herdsmen.

"Difficult!"

Xi Zhicai squinted his eyes: "Look at their formation, it is clear that they will defend it, unless it is ......"

"Unless what?"

Zhang Liao asked.

"There are reinforcements!" Xi Zhicai said: "If they have reinforcements, they can strengthen Wenpin's confidence, but there is a chance, otherwise, with Wenpin's current troops, as long as he is not stupid, he will not go out of the city to fight us!" ”

"Reinforcements?"

Huang Zhong frowned: "These days have passed, it stands to reason that Jingzhou should have a little action!" ”

"Is there any news from Jingzhou?" Xi Zhicai asked.

"Returning to the Drama Lord!"

A Jingwu Division Jingzhou Town General Banner stood up and replied: "Jingzhou has blocked the way here, and our news report is relatively slow, but the flag envoy has already gone to investigate in person, and there must be news soon!" ”

"Report!"

As soon as the words fell, a soldier walked up to the viewing platform, just as the legend of Jingwu Si Nanyang said: "Lord General Flag, the secret protection of the Lord in charge of the flag!" ”

When this general flag heard this, he hurriedly took it, but he didn't look at it, and directly reported it to Xi Zhicai, who pulled out one at random, and could abuse him thousands of times.

"Speaking of reinforcements, reinforcements are really coming!"

Xi Zhicai glanced at it, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and his eyes flashed with a cold glow: "I just didn't expect that Liu Jingsheng could have such influence in Jingzhou in a short period of time, Ji Gong was sick and would die, and he came forward to subdue this Jiangxia thief for him, it's rare!" ”

He is a scholar, although the circle is in Yingchuan, it does not mean that he does not know the name of the Pang family's big and small books, and the name of Pang Ji is praised by all the world's scholars, and he also respects this great Confucian.

If he had the chance, he would like to visit and listen to the teachings.

I didn't expect to meet on the battlefield.

"Jiang Xia Camp? It's a Jiangxia thief! ”

Huang Zhong also looked at the secret letter above and said, "Pang Ji, this is an opponent that should not be underestimated!" ”

"General Hansheng, since their reinforcements are coming, we should also test the offensive and defensive hearts of the city!"

Xi Zhicai said: "Say a thousand, say 10,000, and only by fighting can you see clearly!" ”

"Hmm!"

Huang Zhong also understood this truth, he thought about it and said, "Wenyuan! ”

"In!"

"You come to the main attack, start the attack from Hanshui, and see the reaction in the city, but the point is up!"

"No!"

Zhang Liao nodded.
