Chapter 748: Open the Door!
It is said that Zhang Liao returned to Nanyang to rendezvous with Pang Tong, and brought back the news that he did not succeed in chasing Liu Bei.
"Damn, Liu Bei's shit luck is too strong. Ben won't be done! Zhang Liao said resentfully. Maybe he was angry, or he was too tired, Zhang Liao drank a few bowls of water.
"Wen Yuan, if Liu Bei was killed so easily, he wouldn't be Liu Bei. Wait, there's a chance to clean him up later. Looking at Zhang Liao's extremely depressed appearance, Pang Tong could only comfort him softly. Pang Tong can also understand Zhang Liao's depression, he is so close to killing Liu Bei, and if he misses such a big credit, anyone will be depressed.
Pang Tong's side has almost defeated all of Liu Bei's troops outside Nanyang City, the main reason is because Pang Tong is ruthless, and when dealing with Liu Bei's troops, he treats them differently. If it is Liu Bei's die-hard loyalist, Pang Tong is a non-stayer. If they weren't so loyal to Liu Bei, Pang Tong would have left them alive. The lords all ran away, and Liu Bei's troops outside Nanyang City still made a fart and surrendered directly. Pang Tong directly subdued almost 2,000 soldiers and horses, and the remaining part was Liu Bei's diehard loyalists who refused to surrender, which were shot into hedgehogs by Pang Tong's archers.
It's just that there are still some of Liu Bei's soldiers in Nanyang City who are closed to the four gates, and it seems that they are ready to defend to the death.
Pang Tong and Zhang Liao came to the outside of Nanyang City, looking at the remnants of Liu Bei's troops trembling slightly on the city wall, these people are just quick-sighted, they hid when Liu Jun had not yet attacked Nanyang City, and now they are confronting Zhang Liao.
"I don't know what Liu Bei is good about, it's worth these people to work hard for him!" Zhang Liao looked at the defenders on Nanyang City and said disdainfully.
Pang Tong said with a smile: "No matter which prince, there will be subordinates who are loyal to him. If there were not even such a loyal person, Liu Bei would not have to survive in this troubled era today. ”
"Hmph, I don't care if they are loyal to Liu Bei. Liu Bei ran away, and we are left to capture the city of Nanyang as a credit. Pang Junshi, let Ben General attack one by one, and ensure that it won't take long to take Nanyang City. Zhang Liao is full of confidence in whether Nanyang City can be captured.
Pang Tong waved his hand and said, "This Nanyang City doesn't need General Zhang to make a move at all, you can take a look at the means." ”
Zhang Liao was stunned, does this Pang Tong have any ghost ideas?
Pang Tong chuckled, now according to his estimates, there are about 1,000 people defending the city, and if Zhang Liao leads his troops to attack, he will definitely lose some troops.
Then he came to Liu Bei's two thousand soldiers and horses who had just been subdued, and said: "Listen, you people, it is a capital crime for you to fight against Wang Shi. This military teacher is benevolent, and now I will give you a chance to atone for your sins. Seeing Nanyang City, there are still some people with bad brains who are still resisting. As long as you take Nanyang City, your previous sins, this military division promises not to investigate them at all. And if you don't go? It's hard for this advisor to believe in your loyalty. ”
Well, Pang Tong's strategy is to use the surrendered troops as the main force to attack Nanyang this time.
These two thousand people, you look at me, I look at you, and they are all silent. But the last leading figure stood up and said, "Since the military advisor looks up to us, how can we let go of such a good opportunity." It's just that I have a doubt, and I ask the military advisor to solve the confusion for me? ”
"Oh, who are you? Can you represent them? Pang Tong was full of interest in this person who came forward.
"From Xia Chen to Chen Shuzhi, many people here are subordinates below." The person who stood up was actually Chen Dao.
After Chen Zhi and Mi Zhu cooperated, they had a friendship. After Mi Zhu was captured, Chen Zhi took his subordinates to prepare to find an opportunity to rescue Mi Zhu, but unfortunately his strength was not good and he was captured by Pang Tong.
"It turned out to be General Chen, I don't know what General Chen has any doubts. This military division will definitely answer you. Pang Tong said with a smile.
"The military advisor just said that as long as we capture Nanyang City, we will not be held accountable for our previous crimes. It's just that I think it's a little biased. Chen Zhizheng said.
Pang Tong was really more interested in this Chen Zhi, and he didn't expect that a military general would be able to reason with him as a literati, so he said: "But it's okay to say it!" ”
"Although we said that we were attached to Liu Bei, we were deceived by Liu Bei. Now we are waiting to wake up to the fact that the so-called ignorant are not guilty! What is the sin to say? Chen Zhi said.
Pang Tong was convinced, this Chen is interesting.
"What General Chen said is very true! Please don't worry about what you just said. What do you think it takes to be proper, General Chen? Pang Tong asked.
Chen Zhi said with a smile: "Since we are not guilty, then there will be merit in capturing the city, and please treat us fairly!" ”
Pang Tong nodded, this request was not too much, and said: "Okay, this military division promises you, as long as you take Nanyang City!" The credit will definitely be yours. ”
"Master Pang, you have to keep your word." Chen Zhi said: "Our thousands of brothers have listened to your words. Please don't break your word! ”
Pang Tong said confidently: "This military division has this bit of credit. ”
Pang Tong thought that you two thousand people would fight a city defended by a thousand people, and it would be strange not to lose a thousand people.
Chen Zhi said to the soldiers behind him: "Brothers, go to Nanyang with Ben General!" ”
"Drink!" These soldiers seemed to be inspired, and one by one they rushed to Nanyang.
Zhang Liao came to Pang Tong's side and said lightly: "This kid is quite crazy." ”
Zhang Liao listened to Chen Dao's words just now. Zhang Liao couldn't see Chen Zhi's rampantness.
"Young and vigorous, plus just coming to our army, it's normal to want to behave. General Zhang Liao didn't care. Pang Tong seemed to have a good impression of Chen Zhi, and actually helped him speak.
Zhang Liao was quiet when Pang Tong said this, since ancient times, many young generals have wanted to make meritorious contributions, but at the beginning, they all touched a gray nose, Zhang Liao really wanted to see what such an embarrassing end this Chen would be.
Zhang Liao was a little uneasy, he was always ready with the cavalry. Why is Zhang Liao like this, he doesn't believe so much in Chen Zhi, if Chen Zhi is a fraud, then it will be troublesome.
Pang Tong did not stop Zhang Liao's actions, Zhang Liao's actions were what Pang Tong wanted, in fact, Pang Tong was not at ease with Chen Zhi.
The actions of Zhang Liao and others had long been known to Chen Zhi, and he saw Chen Zhi smiling and didn't care at all.
I saw Chen Zhi take those troops to Nanyang City.
"Listen to the people on the city walls, open the door to Ben!" Chen Zhi shouted at the Nanyang City Wall.
