The Jingzhou army quietly left, just as they came quietly, the Jingzhou army pennant fluttered, but it covered the clouds in the sky.

In Jiangguan City, the scouts had already detected the news that the Jingzhou army had left by boat, and Chen Zheng couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief after hearing this.

He looked around at everyone and said with a sigh: "I never thought that Pang Shiyuan really let Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others set up a heavy ambush. ”

"Fortunately, General Zhang spoke to dissuade him, otherwise if he rashly sent troops to pursue, he would definitely be defeated."

This time, the Jingzhou army withdrew, but the real retreat, even the ambush soldiers set up left, and the battle in Bajun finally came to an end.

Throughout the battle, except for Zhang Yi who was shot by Huang Zhong at the beginning, the Jingzhou army almost did not win.

But when you think about it, this war is extremely dangerous, and there are too many coincidences in it, and this is simply an irreproducible victory.

It can only be said that God bless Ba County.

Pang Tong's strategy has been repeatedly unsuccessful, but it cannot hide his outstanding talent, and after this battle, presumably Yizhou civil and military will be very jealous of Pang Tong.

It must be known that Pang Tong is just one person, and he can repeatedly design three times to make everyone in Yizhou passively defend.

Pang Unification released the news at the beginning, claiming that the Jingzhou soldiers would attack Wuguan, and in order to paralyze the Yizhou civil and military forces, he even really let the Jingzhou soldiers storm Wuguan for more than half a month.

Rao is like this, he also set up a maze, making Sima Yi and others think that he is likely to attack Wuguan on the surface, but in fact he is preparing to attack Hanzhong.

After all, Hanzhong is the place where the four states are connected, and it is very close to Wuguan, as long as the Jingzhou army goes upstream along the Han River, it can directly enter the hinterland of Hanzhong.

The geographical location of Hanzhong is too important, if Hanzhong is lost, the whole Yizhou will become a lonely land, and the Jingzhou army will attack the north and south with the Yiyue rebels, and Yizhou will change hands just around the corner.

It is precisely because Hanzhong is so important that Sima Yi and Fa Zheng, even if they know that the Jingzhou soldiers are attacking Wuguan, they still dare not slack off.

The two even thought that Pang Tong was deliberately confusing themselves and wanted to seize Hanzhong by surprise.

It was precisely because of this wrong guess that Chen Zheng would quietly send Zhang Ren to lead the army into Shangyong, and also let Xu Huang and Deng Xian also quietly gather in Shangyong.

At this time, the vast majority of the troops in the entire Yizhou were quietly assembled in Shangyong, ready to give the Jingzhou army a head-on attack.

Pang Tong was calculating Yizhou's civil and military affairs, and Sima Yi was also calculating Pang Tong, he deliberately let Chen Zheng bluff with himself and led his troops south to quell the rebellion.

Sima Yi felt that when Pang Tong got the news, he would definitely think that he and the others had not seen through it, that the Jingzhou army's capture of Wuguan was fake, and that attacking Yizhou was a real intention.

In this way, it is very likely to lure the Jingzhou army to attack lightly, thinking that they have a plan to enter Hanzhong, and then be broken by Xu Huang and Zhang Ren, who were quietly ambushed.

In fact, Sima Yi's actions did hide from Pang Tong.

However, Sima Yi and Fa Zheng, although they calculated that the Jingzhou army's attack on Wuguan was false and the Yizhou was true, they guessed the wrong direction of Pang Tong's attack.

No one thought that the Jingzhou army would actually seek the near and far, while feinting to attack Wuguan, and on the other hand, let Guan Yu and others lead a part of the men and horses, trekking through mountains and rivers to first enter the hinterland of Jingzhou, and then attack Jiangguan from the Yangtze River upstream.

By the time Fa Zheng and Sima Yi came to their senses, it was already a little late.

In the first game, after all, it was Pang Tongqi's superior move, and even killed Zhang Yi by surprise and almost captured Jiangguan.

However, the world is impermanent, although Fa Zheng realized it later, after all, he still arrived at Jiangguan with Gan Ning at the most critical moment, and then bluffed to scare Pang Tong away.

This time, he had no intention of calculating with his heart, but Fa Zheng won and temporarily kept Jiangguan.

Jiangzhou, the capital of Keba County, is too far away from Jiangguan, and it is extremely difficult for reinforcements to reach Jiangguan quickly.

Just when the Jingzhou soldiers stormed the city and Gan Ning was about to lose it, Xu Huang brought the Shangyong army to help and reversed the situation again.

This also has to make people sigh, the cause of other days, the fruit of today.

If it weren't for Sima Yi and Fa Zheng's erroneous belief that the Jingzhou army would attack Hanzhong, they would not have quietly gathered so many soldiers and horses in Shangyong.

If Shangyong was not heavily guarded, even if Jia Xu saw through Pang Tong's trick and sent someone to inform Xu Huang, he would not be able to quickly lead his troops to rescue Jiangguan.

It was precisely because of the misjudgment of Sima Yi and Fa Zheng that they quietly stationed heavy troops in Shangyong, and there was a dramatic change later.

After all, although Shangyong is in Hanzhong, it is far closer to Jiangguan than Jiangzhou.

After that, Pang Tong repeatedly conspired, although each plan was very amazing, and even could point to the hearts of the people, but he still failed after all.

It's not that Pang Tong is not powerful, but Jiangguan has gathered too many outstanding people, and Pang Tong's strength will eventually be exhausted.

Even if Pang Tong's design can deceive a few people, as long as one person retains his sanity, it can make Pang Tong's plan come to naught.

This time, Pang Tong tried to benefit Yizhou, Chen Zheng, Gan Ning, Fa Zheng, Sima Yi, Jia Xu, Xu Huang, Zhang Ren, and Wu Yi were all indispensable.

It is precisely because of such a strong lineup that Pang Tong has been repeatedly frustrated, and in the end, he has no choice but to retreat.

Pang Tong can stir up the world with his own strength, even if he is on the other side, Chen Zheng and others also praise Pang Tong.

Above and below the wall of Jiangguan, although there is not a single corpse, there are still many dark red blood stains, telling the cruelty of war.

Chen Zheng stood on the city wall, the breeze was blowing in his face, he felt the breath of the Yangtze River, and he couldn't help but smile on his face, as long as he could hold Yizhou, he was already satisfied.

It's not that Chen Zheng doesn't want to forge ahead, but Chen Zheng knows that now Guanzhong is a vast land and a large population, and the longer the time is delayed, the greater the gap between other princes and Guanzhong.

"Childe, although the Jingzhou army retreated, we can't be too careless, this time I miscalculated, if it weren't for various coincidental factors, Jiangguan would probably have been lost."

Chen Zheng turned his head, but found that Fa Zheng had come to his side without knowing when.

His face couldn't help but be a little serious, and he asked, "Sir, do you have a good plan to teach me?" ”

Fa Zhengdao: "The Jingzhou army retreated, the Yiyue rebellion is still there, and the most important thing behind Gongzi is to quell the Yiyue rebellion." ”

"But it is difficult to guarantee that the Jingzhou army will not make a comeback, and Gongzi should let General Gan Ning personally lead 5,000 men and horses to garrison here, and send scouts to reconnoiter the enemy."

"In addition, it is also necessary to guard against an attack on Hanzhong, and the lord can let General Xu Huang lead his troops to garrison Shangyong, echoing General Gan Ning in Jiangguan."

"In this way, as long as you are careful and avoid a sudden attack by the Jingzhou army, the Jingzhou army will no longer have to worry."

Hearing this, Chen Zheng nodded secretly, and continued to ask: "Who should I bring with me to quell the rebellion of Yiyue this time?" ”

Fa Zheng pondered for a while and said: "General Zhang Ren has lived in Yizhou for a long time, and he also knows the Yiyue rebels very well, and he will definitely be brought with him this time to counter the rebellion. ”

"Although he is not talented, he has also lived in Yizhou for a long time, and he is willing to go on the expedition with his son."

Subsequently, Chen Zheng convened Yizhou civil and military, and after discussing for a while, he asked Gan Ning to lead 5,000 troops to garrison Jiangguan, and Xu Huang to lead 2,000 troops to return to Shangyong.

Although Xu Huang led the army over, Shangyong still had Deng Xian leading 10,000 troops to garrison.

This time, even if Xu Huang only led 2,000 men and horses back to Shangyong, Shangyong had 12,000 defenders, and it was enough to defend the city.

In the final analysis, the importance of the mediocre is still far greater than that of Jiangguan.

After arranging the matter, Chen Zhengzheng transferred Fa Zheng, Sima Yi, Zhang Ren, and Wu Yi, and led more than 40,000 people to quell the rebellion.

If it converges with the Yizhou army guarding the south, Chen Zhengping's chaotic soldiers and horses will even exceed 60,000, and he is not afraid of the crowd at all.

There are two flowers, one on each branch.

However, he said that Pang Tong set up a strategy, thinking that he could lure the Yizhou army to chase after him, but he didn't want to make all kinds of designs turn into a mirror after all.

In desperation, Liu Bei had to follow Pang Tong's previous strategy and return directly to Jingzhou.

As soon as Liu Bei entered the territory of Jingzhou, he received a report from a messenger, saying that Zhang Xiu sent troops to attack Jingzhou, and the soldiers pointed directly at Xiangyang, which immediately frightened Liu Bei's soul.

He couldn't help but shout: "Chen Wenzhao was defeated by the Seventh Route Army, how could he still have the strength to attack Jingzhou?" ”

No one thought that Zhang Xiu, who had never been aggressive, would be so bold and reckless, and directly led the Wuguan defenders into Jingzhou.

The messenger replied: "The soldiers of the Duke of Qin are strong and strong, and not only have 20,000 troops stationed in Wuguan, but there are also tens of thousands of troops left in Puban. ”

"When the lord went on an expedition to Ba County, Pusaka had already sent 20,000 troops into Wuguan again, and even Gao Shun led the trapped camp over."

"Gao Shun led the trapped camp to defend the city, but Zhang Xiu personally led an army of 40,000 people, all the way like a splitting bamboo, rampage in Jingzhou, and the army will come to Xiangyang in a few days."

At this time, not only Liu Bei was shocked, but even Pang Tong was pale.

Even if he was full of wisdom, he didn't expect that Guanzhong would dare to send troops to attack Jingzhou in this situation. And what Zhang Xiu did was quite inconsistent with his character.

Looking at the panicked Liu Bei, Pang Tong hurriedly comforted: "Xiangyang is guarded by Yuanzhi, and it is impossible for that embroidery to break the city." ”

Pang Tong's head turned quickly, and after thinking of Xu Shu, he felt a little relieved, and then began to think about other things.

Liu Bei knew Xu Shu's talent, and when he heard Pang Tong say this, he also breathed a long sigh of relief.

But he still said: "Jingzhou is my foundation, and there is no absolute room for loss, so it is better to lead the troops back as soon as possible." ”

Pang Tong nodded, then shook his head again, and said: "It is necessary to return to help, but Zhang Xiu's dispatch of troops to Jingzhou is not an opportunity for us." ”

Speaking of this, a wise light flashed in Pang Tong's eyes.

Liu Bei was surprised in his heart and asked, "Why did the military advisor say this?" ”

Pang Tong said: "If that embroidered city to defend the Wuguan, we have no way, he sent troops to Jingzhou this time, if the lord can wipe out all the 40,000 soldiers and horses, it will also be an unprecedented victory." ”

PS: Chapter 4 is presented.

Some book friends say that there is always a big reversal at the last moment, which will cause visual fatigue, and it is too much of a coincidence. But if you really want everything to be planned, and then the battle situation will follow the planned direction, what is the readability?
