Eight hundred and sixtieth chapters of the tiger's strategy
Ma Zhong was very nervous. Zhang Fei's sharp look just now made him very upset.
Although there was a long distance between them, Ma Zhong could still feel the anger and hatred in Zhang Fei's glance just now.
He was trembling all over after being stared at by Zhang Fei.
Back then, he also helped Taishi Ci kill Yan Liang in a battle. That cold arrow helped Taishi Ci achieve great fame and great success, and at the same time established his position in the Tao Shang army. The Tao Shang once rewarded Ma Zhong with a lot of property.
I wanted to use Gan Ning's help to get rid of Zhang Fei today. If the two cooperate, Gan Ning and Zhou Tai will become famous, and I will benefit. Then I can make a big profit from him, why not?
But I never expected that Gan Ning and Zhou Tai would be so useless. They couldn't even spare Zhang Fei, who had an arrow in his abdomen. Now I am afraid that Zhang Fei has remembered his face. If he is on the battlefield again in the future,
When they meet, Ma Zhongshao will inevitably become Zhang Fei's primary target.
It's really a bad deal. If I had known Gan Ning and Zhou Tai were so useless, I wouldn't have bothered with this.
Ma Zhong sighed and hurried back to the military camp to report to the pottery merchant.
At the same time, Zhang Fei was injured, which made the soldiers who attacked the Eighth Formation's Death Gate impetuous. The plan of the Jingzhou Army's officers and soldiers to break through their defensive formation went bankrupt.
When the news came back to Pang Tong, Pang Tong's face became very ugly.
A good plan was ruined because of Zhuge Liang's existence, but he was helpless.
If we can't capture the pottery merchant's camp this time, it will be very difficult to capture it in the future.
However, from the beginning of the attack on the potter's camp, almost all of his own soldiers were dispatched. In this helpless situation, Pang Tong could only withdraw temporarily.
"Kong Ming, Kong Ming...Wolong, Wolong..."
Pang Tong looked at the pottery camp in the distance and kept mumbling.
The pottery merchant once gave himself and Kong Ming the names Wolong and Fengchu respectively in Qufu City, but for some reason, in Pang Tong's ears, it always felt like this was a sarcasm, mocking him for not being as good as Zhuge Liang.
Dragon and phoenix, dragon and phoenix, the dragon respects and supplements the phoenix. In people's subconscious mind, the dragon naturally dominates the phoenix.
This naming and title clearly puts Zhuge Liang before himself.
Pang Tong has always been very unhappy about this.
But today's battle seems to confirm that the entire ranking is not wrong.
Can you really not defeat this Zhuge Liang?
Pang Tong clenched his fist vigorously, and then ordered his subordinates: "Instruct the three armies to withdraw!"
…
After a great battle, the Jingzhou army finally retreated, but they failed to capture the pottery merchant's camp.
However, in this battle, although the Jinling Army blocked the attack of the Jingzhou Southern Army, it suffered heavy losses.
He Qi, Xu Zhong, Xian Yudan and other generals were all injured, and there were also many casualties among the soldiers of the three armies, but no matter what, they managed to save the camp.
Gan Ning, Zhou Tai and others reported to Tao Shang about the defeat of Zhang Fei, and stated the key role Ma Zhong played in the defeat of Zhang Fei.
The pottery merchant called Ma Zhong, praised him in front of all the generals, and said that after the conquest of Jingzhou, he would be rewarded for his merits.
But it's obvious that Ma Zhong didn't care much about the potter's praise.
He just told the potter about his difficulties with runny nose and tears.
"When Zhang Fei's guy withdrew, he had already seen the general's appearance and determined that it was the general who shot him with an arrow... The general is afraid that he will become enemies with him in the future!"
The potter couldn't help but laugh when he saw Ma Zhong crying.
This guy is so cowardly, no wonder he only dares to shoot cold arrows in the dark, and doesn't even have the sense of responsibility.
"Just see it if you see it. After all, it's not a big deal. The worst thing is that you should be careful when going to the battlefield from now on. Don't let Zhang Fei catch you."
Ma Zhong sniffed hard and said: "Prime Minister, that's not the case. Who is Zhang Fei? He is a brave general in the world. His eldest brother is Liu Bei and his second brother is Guan Yu. If I offend him, I will offend him." I have destroyed the whole little peach garden, how can I be a good person in the future? The three of them will definitely get rid of me in the future."
The potter looked at him sympathetically and said, "Then what do you want me to do?"
"Please Prime Minister, for the sake of my merits and loyalty, please remove Liu Guan and Zhang Xiaotaoyuan for me, so as to ensure my peace."
After hearing this, Tao Shang couldn't hold it in any longer and wished he could get up and give Ma Zhong a kick.
To put it lightly, if I could get rid of them so easily, why would I spend so much effort attacking Jingnan?
"Well, now that I know the truth about your request, I will take care of it for you later. Of course, it is better to rely on yourself than to rely on anyone else. In the future, if you can directly shoot the Taoyuan brothers to death on the battlefield, it will be the best. You have to think clearly about how to avoid disaster."
Ma Zhong secretly thought, I have no time to hide from the three brothers now, why should I shoot?
The pottery merchant comforted Ma Zhong with some gentle words, and then sent for Zhuge Liang.
Before he could speak, Zhuge Liang cupped his hands and said, "Teacher, the losses and casualties of the troops and horses have been counted. Please take a look, teacher."
The pottery merchant stretched out his hand and took Zhuge Liang's report, frowning as he read it.
"The loss is not small," the pottery merchant said with emotion.
Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "The main reason is that this miasma has done too much damage to our army. Compared with Pang Tong's offensive, our predicament will not be solved until the poison miasma is alleviated. Even if we win such a battle, Yes, it’s not worth it.”
The pottery merchant said calmly: "Then according to Kong Ming's opinion, what should we do next?"
Zhuge Liang said softly: "This, the student didn't think of any solution for a moment..."
At this moment, Sima Yi walked into the tent.
"Teacher, the student has a way." Sima Yi said with a smile.
The potter looked up at him.
But I saw Sima Yi saying: "I was outside the tent just now and heard the questions from Kong Ming and the teacher. In fact, I have a way to defeat Jingnan quickly."
The pottery merchant smiled and said, "What is Zhongda's advice?"
Sima Yi coughed lightly and said: "Today, during the daytime, after verification by spies, the Jingzhou Army that came to attack our army included part of the Jingzhou Central Army led by Pang Tong and Zhang Fei, as well as Liu Du's troops from Lingling. , Wuling’s Jinxuan Army, and the remnants of Liu Pan’s troops in Changsha…but only one troop did not come.”
The potter narrowed his eyes and said, "You mean Zhao Fan from Guiyang?"
Sima Yi nodded and said: "Exactly, the student feels that since all the troops and horses in the four counties of Jingnan have been mobilized by Pang Tong, why did Zhao Fan not arrive?"
The pottery merchant narrowed his eyes: "Do you think this Zhao Fan has a tendency to defect?"
"At least, he should be hesitant in his heart."
Zhuge Liang said from the side: "But Guiyang County is south of Changsha. Now that Changsha has been captured by our army, even if Zhao Fan wants to support him, he may not be able to do it, right?"
Sima Yi shook his head and said: "Having said that, if he is determined to support Pang Tong, borrow a road from Lingling, or sneak attack our army, he will be useful in any way, but he just doesn't move, hehe, this
