"Your Highness."
Seeing Liu Chan arriving in person, Xiang Chong hurried forward and saluted Liu Chan.
"I am wearing armor and am unable to perform a full salute. Please don't blame me, Your Highness!"
Liu Chan stepped forward, patted Xiang Chong on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Yes, you are worthy of being a first-term student of my martial arts hall. Fang captured the general of the Wei army as soon as he made a move. Don't worry, you have done a lot, and I will do it for you." .”
Xiang Chong had admiration on his face and even more excitement in his heart.
"What credit do you have for me? If you want to say credit, it should be the credit of His Highness. His favor is nothing more than obeying His Highness's orders and lying in wait. This is considered unearned credit."
Liu Chan glanced at Xiang Chong with deep meaning and said, "The unearned credit must be given to those who are prepared. If you are not good at ambush and let Pang Lingming notice it, how can you capture him? If you are not prepared enough, How can he get this credit if he escapes from a trap?"
He patted Xiang Chong's shoulder heavily and said, "I have no one in the army who can take charge of his own role. I hope you can do it, okay?"
With such high hopes and earnest expectations, Xiang Chong admired her so much that she choked up when speaking.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely become a general in the future and conquer the world for Your Highness!"
After reminiscing with Xiang Chong, Liu Chan looked at Pang De in the prison car.
Pang De has a strong body, broad shoulders and round waist. He looks full of strength, and looks like a wild beast in the mountains.
only...
Now he is tied to the prison cart with Wuhua Da, his face is lifeless, he looks like a sick tiger.
"Pang Lingming, do you recognize me?"
After being called by Liu Chan, Pound's eyes in the prison car glowed a little, but this light was not worth mentioning to the darkness in his heart. He turned his head to the other side, not wanting to talk to Liu Chan.
"Is it possible that if you become a prisoner, you will really become a dead person? Don't you want to know why you lost? How did you become a prisoner?"
As soon as Liu Chan said these words, Pang De's body trembled, but he remained silent.
"Emperor Gaozu, despite being defeated a hundred times, was not discouraged and became a hegemon. You, the emperor, have only suffered a few defeats, but you are as panic-stricken as a dead dog. You are really a bear, how can you talk about being a hero?"
As soon as he heard the word "bear", Pound in the prison car finally couldn't help it.
He turned to look at Liu Chan with a ferocious expression!
"Liu Chan kid! Don't think you can preach to me. I've eaten more salt than you have eaten rice. What qualifications do you have to bark in front of me? Bah!"
Liu Chan moved quickly and made Pang De's mouthful of phlegm go away.
"Hahaha!"
Liu Chan laughed loudly and looked at Pound with a very disdainful tone.
"I thought you had such high opinions? To actually utter such words, I, Liu Gongsi, think that I have misjudged the person. That Cao Mengde would actually use a waste like you is really unbelievable and unbelievable!"
"Little Liu Chan, you can humiliate me, but you must not humiliate the king of my family!"
Pang De was worried about death, or he was so angry at Liu Chan's words that he was so angry that his whole body was filled with smoke.
"What? Am I right?"
Liu Chan had a joking smile on his face and said: "You are a rebel general, how can you be righteous? Carrying the coffin and marching, I thought you were noble and upright, but you are just a villain. You still try to compare with Han Shouting Hou. What are you doing?" qualifications?"
Seeing that Pang De's face was getting more and more ugly, Liu Chan's words continued non-stop, like a heavy rainstorm.
"The Shouting Marquis of the Han Dynasty is a loyal general who never served two masters in his life. Even though he was separated from my father and went to Mengde's tent, he never forgot his original intention. In order to return to my father's tent, he did not miss the high official's generous salary and was not accepted. Is it possible for you to be disturbed by yellow and white things, not be fascinated by the beauty of the beauty, pass five passes and kill six generals, run thousands of miles and return to my father's tent?"
"You are Ma Chao's deputy general. You don't want to be loyal to the master. How dare you speak of loyalty? A traitor who betrays the master, how dare you talk about loyalty? Are you worthy?"
"Little Liu Chan, what do you know? My old master Ma Chao and I have long since settled our grievances and have nothing to do with each other. Why can't I serve the Ming Master?"
Pang De's face turned red and his neck thickened when Liu Chan said it. His face was ferocious. Because he was so excited, he was shaking so much that the newly bandaged wounds on his body burst. The humiliation and pain hit Pang De at the same time. Pang De was in agony.
"Hahaha, all thieves who betray the Lord have their own opinions. Whether you are a loyal minister or a traitor is up to you. Let me order someone to hand-write a record of loyalty and adultery. You will see whether you will become a loyal minister or a traitor. ?”
"You! You still want to taint my innocence?"
Pang De was furious. He was originally a military commander, but now he got into the rhythm of Liu Chan's words and was simply being played around by Liu Chan.
"As a Han official, I, Pang De, am an upright man. You can only insult my innocence by slandering me."
"Hahaha!"
Unexpectedly, Liu Chan laughed again, and said sarcastically: "What a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, what a loyal minister. The master you are loyal to is Cao Mengde. He is not a minister of the Han Dynasty. He is actually a traitor of the Han Dynasty. He holds the emperor's order under his command." Princes, what kind of master are you? You are a loyal traitor to the Han, and you dare to call the Han a loyal minister?"
"you!"
Pang De was scolded by Liu Chan and was very angry. But the key was that he couldn't defeat Liu Chan and couldn't resist the scolding. At this moment, his expression was urgent but helpless. His face was so angry that he turned the color of pig's liver.
"So, Pang Lingming, don't think of yourself as noble. You are not a loyal person."
"Whatever you say."
It can't be said, it's ruined.
Pang De lay back on his side, not wanting to talk to Liu Chan anymore.
But his rapid breathing and the rising and falling of his chest all indicate his current state.
He was very angry and impatient, and wanted to refute, but he couldn't do it.
Liu Chan looked at Pang De's appearance and felt happy in his heart: I just like to see your angry expression but you can't do anything to me.
"If you want to make a name for yourself, if you want to become a noble general, if you want to become a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, why not join my account? I can give you a chance to make a name for yourself, and I can also let you renew your relationship with your old master Ma Chaozhong. Isn’t it beautiful to have old love?”
"You are delusional!"
Pang De snorted coldly.
"Little Liu Chan, I know you are extraordinary, but I, Pang De, am not the second master. Please come back!"
"Loyalty to Cao Mengde is nothing more than foolish loyalty. Loyalty to me is nothing more than small loyalty. Pang Lingming, take a longer view and have a broader mind. Do you only have Cao Mengde in your eyes? You should see how big this Jiuzhou is and how big it is in the world." Big, are tens of millions of people more important, or is your so-called Ming leader Cao Mengde more important?"
One bite cannot make you fat.
Liu Chan had a conversation with Pound today, and a seed must have been planted deeply in his heart.
Next, it’s time to wait for the seeds to germinate.
"I have a few books here. If you have nothing to do in the prison, you can read more. Maybe you will have a different opinion in your mind."
Liu Chan took out three books from his arms.
"The Prince's Words and Deeds"
"World Map"
"What is Loyalty"
The three books were all written by Liu Chan in his spare time.
"The Record of the Prince's Words and Deeds" was already completed when he was in Nanzhong.
Nowadays, when Wu is flying in the army, the prince is in charge of the army, and "Lectures on Martial Arts" are all required readings in the army, and the key points will be tested every few days.
"World Map" is the five continents and six oceans compiled by Liu Chan based on his own impressions. As for the countries and nationalities in various places, Liu Chan is not clear about it, but for example, in South Asia, Liu Chan introduced: Spice is everywhere, gold is countless, America Liu Chan He wrote: There are many gold and silver mines, the indigenous people are weak, and the food output is ten times that of China; European Liu Chan wrote: The land of Western Yi, the people with multi-colored eyes, the land is fertile, and the products are rich...
Let’s not talk about whether Liu Chan’s impression is correct or not. Anyway, let me write it in an exaggerated way.
Are you loyal to the Lord?
The layout is too small!
Can you enlarge the picture a little bit? What is the land of Kyushu?
My ambition is the stars and the sea!
As a minister of the Han Dynasty, you should lead the troops to fight and conquer all the most precious lands in the world for our great Han!
This "World Map" is to give Liu Chan's subordinates a preliminary understanding of the outside world, a good impression, and arouse their desire to conquer.
I don’t believe that Pang Lingming didn’t feel any emotions after reading it?
As for the book "What is Loyalty", it was naturally tailor-made by Liu Chan specifically for the surrendered generals.
With a set of combination punches, there is no fear that Pang De will not be used by Liu Chan.
"How can your Liu Chan's book be a good book? I, Pang Lingming, don't read it."
You don’t have to read my father Liu Bei’s imperial uncle’s writings, but my Liu Chan’s book, it’s every word of it, it’s a must-have for brainwashing!
An Dare not to read it?
Liu Chan put the book next to Pang De, without looking at whether Pang De would read it, and left straight away. But before leaving, Liu Chan said quietly: "Pang Lingming, what can you do if you leave behind a useful person? If you You are worried about the safety of your family in Xudu, so don’t worry, I will capture Cao Zixiao alive and exchange my family for you."
Capture Cao Zixiao alive?
Is it possible for you, Liu Chan, to capture the general alive?
Don't take a pee and look at yourself.
only...
After this arrogant thought flashed through his mind, his heart suddenly became heavy again.
Liu Chan, the crown prince of Hanzhong, is indeed not an easy person.
If he is really incompetent, will Pang Lingming become his prisoner?
Could it be...
Is Liu Chan really sure that he can capture the general alive?
Pang De hesitated, and for a moment, he actually believed it.
But he quickly shook his head.
I am a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, no! He is a loyal minister of the Wei Dynasty. How can he recognize the crown prince of Hanzhong as his master again?
If this is the case, then Pound has truly become a thief who betrayed his master.
Even if he starved to death in prison or died outside, he, Pang Lingming, would never be Liu Chan's dog!
...
"Your Highness, I think Pang De is like a stone in a latrine, smelly and hard. I'm afraid that Your Highness's earnest words will be in vain."
Liu Chan shook his head slightly and said, "Pang De is a loyal general. The more loyal he is, the harder it will be to change his will, but I have my own way to make him serve me."
Hard to change your mind?
After reading those three books, let’s talk again!
"You have just entered the camp. Go to the main tent of the Chinese army to report this matter to the Lord Ming, and then come to my tent."
"promise!"
Xiang Chong took the order immediately.
No matter what, the nominal commander of the Shu army camp is still Guan Yu. Although Liu Chan is the prince, Yunchang is still his father-in-law!
It never hurts to sell more face to your father-in-law.
"Lang Jun~"
Guan Yinping, who had been following Liu Chan just now, saw that Liu Chan had taken care of the matter and hurried forward.
His tone was very squeamish, and combined with his actions at this moment, it made people even more distraught.
If it were the former Liu Chan, he might not be able to bear it.
But now Liu Chan's heart was still.
"Follow me out of the stronghold, and then go to the front line to inspect the terrain."
It was precisely because of Liu Chan's inspection of the front line that he was able to capture Pound. He had already passed the west side before, but now he was short of the east side.
Pang De was defeated, and the Wei army in the Hekou Sichuan military stronghold probably did not dare to leave the stronghold.
Perhaps even the scouts did not dare to be released, and they just stood firm in the city and waited for Cao Ren's army to arrive. Now is the safest time to go on a geographical inspection.
"Then you and I ride on the same horse?"
Still want to start a war right away?
Can my body bear it?
Liu Chan decisively refused.
"One person and one horse."
"snort!"
Guan Yinping's face was full of resentment, but he had to jump on the horse and keep up with Liu Chan's pace.
It seems...
We have to do what Miss Shang Xiang said again.
Play hard to get!
As soon as the war stops, I will stay with Miss Shang Xiang and not meet this enemy. When I see him, I will beg for who he is!
snort!
...
At this moment, Hekou Sichuan Wei Army Camp was hundreds of steps away.
"The Hekou River is right in front of us."
The leading general, school director Hengce, immediately stepped forward to Cao Ren's side.
Cao Ren's nose is straight and strong, and his jawline is clear, showing his perseverance and decisiveness. His lips were pressed tightly into a stern smile, giving the impression of unwavering determination.
At this moment, he was wearing a suit of iron armor, shining with a cold light. The armor is engraved with traces of military exploits and time. Its texture is hard and thick, completely covering his body, giving people a feeling of indestructibility.
Cao Ren held a sharp long knife, and the blade shone with cold light, seemingly able to cut through any obstacle.
"Hekou River..."
Cao Ren murmured to himself.
"Where is the vanguard general?"
Pound had sent him a message before, saying that he was going to relieve the siege of the walled city in the west.
If Cao Ren were present, he would never agree to such an aggressive move.
Stability is the first priority, and Fancheng must be defended first, and then we can talk about the attack.
He had already felt the pain of this sudden advance when he was in Xiangyang, and he felt it deeply. He didn't want to suffer that kind of pain again!
"There is no message yet from the Vanguard General."
Cao Ren nodded, with a very calm expression on his face.
"Let's go to the Hekouchuan camp first and find out the situation on the front line, and then we'll make the calculation."
Military stronghold in the west?
If it's broken, it's broken.
As long as Fancheng is still there.
Pang Lingming, Pang Lingming, I hope you know how powerful Guan Yunchang is and come back in time.
Pang De was suspected by the generals in the army, and he had the trust of the King of Wei. The burden on his shoulders was probably very heavy.
Cao Ren also knew a thing or two about Pang De's mood: he was afraid that he would be criticized in the army if he failed to perform meritorious service.
As he charged into battle, Cao Ren had absolutely no doubt in his mind about Pang De's bravery.
But it's different now.
Stabilize the situation now!
Blind impulse is not a good thing
I hope the situation has not become corrupted yet.
But Cao Ren had a bad feeling in his heart.
"The general will pay homage to the general!"
The guard of the Hekouchuan Army Village came forward and saluted Cao Ren.
"Enter the military camp first and tell me about the situation in Fancheng."
"promise!"
A group of people swarmed into the Hekou Chuan army camp, while the Seventh Route Army set up camp on a flat surface in the Hekou Chuan, near the river.
In the large tent of the Hekouchuan Army Stronghold, Cao Ren sat on the main seat, and the other generals stood on both sides of the tent.
"General."
The guard general of the Hekouchuan Army Stronghold stood in the tent and said to Cao Ren: "Yesterday morning, the pioneer general Pang De led his troops to Fancheng to prepare to break the siege of the military stronghold to the west. So far... there has been no such thing. News. As for Guan Yunchang, as far as I know, he only besieged Fancheng but not attacked, and has not taken any action."
Fancheng Wuyou...
Cao Ren breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
That is not bad.
but...
Pound just sent out troops a day ago, and now there is no news?
It's just a few dozen miles away.
"You didn't send any scouts to check the situation?"
Cao Ren's eyes were stern, and the reproach in his words was undisguised.
The guard of Hekouchuan looked embarrassed. He forced a smile on his face and said: "Actually, these days, General Mo often sends out scouts to explore the situation ahead, but they never come back. General Mo There were not many war horses in Zhongshan originally, but now they are almost used up. If we send out scouts again, we may not even have enough messengers to contact them."
How many people does he have under his command?
How many horses?
The guard of the Hekouchuan Army Stronghold felt miserable.
actually...
The guard of the Hekou Sichuan Army Village also suffered an unreasonable disaster from Liu Chan.
Hearing that Liu Chan was going to the front line to investigate the enemy's situation, Guan Ping, as his brother-in-law, didn't say anything and personally led the troops to mow down the scouts.
Directly remove all the scouts from the Hekou Chuan Military Village and kill as many as they come out.
Indirectly, the Hekou Sichuan Wei army camp became blind and deaf.
As a result, Pang De was defeated yesterday, and no news was received here.
"That's it."
Although Cao Ren was dissatisfied with the incompetence of the guard, he did not blame him too much.
"Dong Heng, disperse the scouts and go to investigate the situation!"
"promise!"
Dong Heng was immediately ordered to go and take charge of scouting related matters.
"Let's talk about Yun Chang's actions these days."
The general guarding the Hekouchuan military camp didn't know much, and even if he reported it, the information he could find out was limited.
After listening to it for a long time, Cao Ren felt like he was just listening to nonsense.
He frowned and looked worried.
"No need to talk about it anymore."
He slapped the table and stood up, saying: "You will be responsible for transporting grain and grass from now on. If the grain route to the rear is blocked, I will ask for your head!"
Guard the rear?
The guard of the Hekouchuan Army Stronghold showed a look of ecstasy on his face.
"Thank you, general. I will make sure to keep the food route intact!"
Now go attack Guan Yu. If you are not careful, your life will be lost. It is better to guard the safety of the grain road.
Regardless of whether it is a defeat or a victory, some credit can still be shared.
"Just go."
For such incompetent generals, it is better to send them to the logistics as early as possible.
If we put this on the front line, if we are afraid of fighting, wouldn't it damage our military morale?
...
When the army arrived, the seven armies set up camp, and then buried pots to make rice. After dinner, the army sergeants fell asleep.
These few days of marching were quite tiring.
The moon rises and it is night.
Although Cao Ren was tired, he did not fall asleep. Instead, he looked at the military book in his hand under the dim light of the military tent, and stood up from time to time to compare the maps of Fancheng and Xiangyang behind him.
He seemed to be thinking about ways to defeat the enemy.
"Report~"
The soldiers outside the tent came forward to report.
"Leading Military Academy Dong Heng wants to see you."
Dong Heng?
Cao Pi was stunned for a moment and immediately said: "Let him come in."
Dong Heng was asked to take charge of scouting today. If he came to see him now, he might have important information to report.
Soon.
The leading general Dong Heng walked into the tent with a Wei soldier who was covered with rain.
"Meet the General."
Dong Heng was soaked to the skin and his armor was heavy. After riding a horse for a day and fighting with Shu army scouts for a while, his body was a little tired, but his face was smiling and his spirit was very high.
"But do you know the information ahead?"
"This is the sergeant of the vanguard Pound Army. Just ask the general."
Dong Heng was excited. You Pang De, you still want to take my position as the vanguard. Is that okay now?
Defeated and captured!
You obediently let me be the vanguard, how could you end up like this?
certainly...
Considering that this was the defeat of the Wei army, even though Dong Heng burst into laughter, he tried to hold back the expression on his face.
"You tell me!"
Cao Ren looked at the vanguard soldiers.
"Reporting to the general, our army has been defeated. The vanguard general fled to the west and is nowhere to be found. I heard from the soldiers in Jingzhou that General Pang has been captured."
At that time, there was a big battle and the Wei army was defeated by the Shu army. At that time, the Wei army's vanguard broke up and fled.
He was also clever, hiding in the woods, covering his body with leaves, and narrowly escaped with his life.
During this day, he was running around avoiding the search of the Shu army, and his life was almost lost on the road.
"What?"
The brows on Cao Ren's face were frowned into the character "Chuan"!
"Pang Lingming was defeated?"
Although he was prepared in his heart, when he heard that this was the truth, Cao Ren couldn't hide the anger in his heart!
"Useless thing, I should have listened to what you said that day and changed the position of the vanguard general."
When the army arrived, the vanguard was defeated first, and the vanguard general was even captured. How could they fight?
This morale is directly low!
Could it be...
I, Cao Zixiao, want to defeat Guan Yunchang again?
Cao Ren's hands began to tremble.
...
