At the beginning of July in the ninth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty (204 AD), reinforcements from northern Xinjiang arrived, and these troops were basically drawn from the garrison of northern Xinjiang. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Along with these reinforcements, there were also 20,000 troops of the Guards Legion led by Mu Guiying, Zhai Ya and Li E.

Immediately, Li Yi still ordered Chang Yuchun to lead the Fifth Army to garrison the northern part of Jingzhou, which had just been obtained. He personally led 290,000 troops to Yiling, and the camp stretched for more than 100 miles, aiming to fight to the death with the Yizhou army.

The Yizhou Army was in the northwest of Yiling, and the Northern Xinjiang Army was in the southeast of Yiling. The more than 500,000 troops of the two sides stretched on both sides of the river, and it was not trivial for them to be fully operational, so they confronted each other for the time being.

In terms of the Yizhou army, Liu Bei has set up a total of 43 camps, including mountain villages, deer villages, and water villages. On this day, Pang Tong was outside the Dazhai in this formation, looking at the surrounding geographical environment from afar.

Now that July is scorching hot, the surrounding sergeants can't help but mutter, "It would be great if I could go into the dense forest to escape the heat." ”

Pang Tong shook his fan, looked at the sun in the sky, wiped his sweat, and felt something, so he shook the feather fan and returned to the camp in contemplation. On the way, an officer approached and whispered: "Military advisor, Wang Lei, Meng Da, Li Yan and others ......"

Pang Tong's eyes showed disdain, the fan shook faster, and strode towards Liu Bei's handsome tent.

When he walked into the big tent, Meng Da and the others hurriedly saluted, and he also returned the salute.

Liu Bei stood up very happily and said, "Shiyuan, Wang Ti They just said that when Zhang Ren went north, he almost finished the garrison of the four counties of Jingnan. Now that the war is in a stalemate, in order to prevent Li Yi from sending troops to occupy the four counties of Jingnan, we can send troops to garrison. If we make peace with Li Yi in this battle, we will be able to divide the river and rule, and our army will have a foundation in Jingzhou, what do you think? ”

Pang Tong chuckled: "This is a good idea. ”

"That's great!" Liu Bei said overjoyed.

Wang Lei and the others were also happy, and said that if they succeeded, the people on their side would be reused. Our colleagues in Shuzhong are united in the same spirit, and they will be able to suppress this Pang Tong's head.

It turned out that Liu Bei's subordinates were divided into three factions, one faction was the people who had followed Liu Bei originally, represented by Zhou Cang, Pang Tong and others; One faction is the local forces in Yizhou, represented by Zhang Ren, Liu Bi, Meng Da, Wang Lei and others; Another faction is also the Yizhou force, but they took refuge in Liu Bei early, represented by Zhang Song and Fa Zheng.

Originally, Li Yan was also a general who followed Liu Bei into Shu in Jingzhou, but I don't know if it was because Li Yan and Pang Tong were born to rush, and the relationship between the two was not good, which made Li Yan get closer to the local forces in Yizhou.

Generally speaking, now Liu Bei's subordinates are reused by the forces of the first and third factions, as for the most powerful local faction in Yizhou, but because of Liu Zhang's relationship, Liu Bei has not completely appointed them.

Of course, Zhang Ren is an exception to this, because his talent is too prominent, and Liu Bei also uses him very much. Therefore, he has a general relationship with the local forces in Yizhou.

These local forces in Yizhou can now also see that Liu Bei's occupation of Yizhou has become an established fact, and if they want to achieve something, they must hold Liu Bei's thigh, so they want to change the situation that they cannot be reused, so they want to open up a new battlefield, so as to make meritorious contributions and take the initiative.

How could Pang Tong not see the calculations in the hearts of these people, just when everyone was very happy, a basin of cold water was splashed out, and said: "Li Yi has fought in the south and north for 20 years, and he has conquered everything and is invincible. Now he has an army of 300,000, and our army only has about 300,000 people, the two sides are evenly matched, or we are at a slight disadvantage, the situation is not very favorable, if we divide our troops to garrison the four counties of Jingnan, wouldn't we weaken our own strength? ”

"The current situation in Jingzhou is not about how much territory we can occupy, but whether we can defeat the main force of Li Yi's Northern Frontier Army. As long as we can defeat Li Yi and expel him from Jingzhou, then Jingzhou will naturally be ours. But if we lose on the main battlefield, then even if we occupy the four counties of Jingnan, we will still lose. ”

"Makes sense!" Liu Bei nodded when he heard this, from this heart, he still trusted Pang Tong more.

Pang Tong glanced at Wang Lei and the others, and his contempt was overflowing.

Meng Da was furious, and said that the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, how can he talk about troops on paper, I also said that the enemy has 3,000 soldiers and horses, and secretly Chen Cang went to take Chengdu, which is really alarmist!

He was about to make a rebuttal, but was secretly stopped by Wang Lei and Li Yan. The three of them quit and quit the big tent.

As soon as Meng Da returned to his tent, he shouted dissatisfiedly: "What are you pulling me for?" Our army is not as strong as the Northern Xinjiang Army, and it is the only way to kill ourselves by confronting Li Yi head-on in Yiling. We can completely divide our troops, and after mobilizing the Northern Xinjiang Army, we can look for opportunities. ”

Wang Lei touched his beard and said with a smile: "Pang Tong is young and crazy, and let him go, but if he fails, it will be the time for me to recover." ”
