There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Zhuge Liang cupped his hands in the air: "The story of Crouching Dragon is just a casual ridicule by the teacher. It can't be true. Brother Pang laughs at it."

Pang Tong said loudly: "You didn't take it seriously, but I did. You don't want to be a crouching dragon, but I think the nickname of this phoenix chick is good. You and I are one dragon and one phoenix. Today, in front of the three armies, we will fight each other. How is the outcome?"

Zhuge Liang cupped his hands and said: "Brother Pang, draw down the road, and then follow up."

Pang Tong immediately arranged for everyone to form a formation, and ten generals led each of the troops to form an formation in turn, and opened up a posture in front of the formation of the three armies.

Zhuge Liang observed carefully for a while, and praised: "What a plum blossom formation, it really is interesting."

After all, he arranged for the Jinling generals how to break the formation, and let them divide the work for a while.

The pottery merchant was standing on the top of the city watching, when suddenly he saw Sima Yi approaching him.

"Teacher, this disciple feels that the other party's sending Pang Tong to fight is not just as simple as it seems on the surface."

Tao Shang wondered, "What do you mean?"

"The disciples think that Pang Tong is only a bright man, but they should have a dark hand."

Chapter 831 Battle of Generals

After hearing Sima Yi's words, the pottery merchant fell silent.

In terms of ability, he may not be as good as Zhuge Liang, but when it comes to understanding people's hearts, Sima Yi is indeed powerful.

Especially trying to figure out other people's shady routines, Sima Yi is worth eight.

"Tell me, what move is the other party playing?"

Sima Yi smoothed his train of thought, and said, "Teacher, most of the counselors under Cao Cao's command are good at plotting, including Xun Yu, Xun You, and Xu You who joined Yuan Shao's command, but there is only one who is good at plotting." Insidious tricks, our army almost fell for this person in the past."

The pottery merchant smiled and said, "You're talking about Jia Xu, right?"

"That's right, it's this old guy. This guy usually doesn't offer Cao Cao a strategy, but he may suddenly make a bad move at some point, but that's what makes it hard to guard against."

The potter nodded slowly, and said: "The frequency of his spoiling water is too low, so it is easy to be ignored, just like a woman coming to heaven."

Sima Yi curled his lips: "Women come once a month, and that old guy Jia Xu doesn't come once a year and a half. The number of shots is too little."

Tao Shang looked at the two armies that had already started to clash in the distance, and said, "Then do you think it's time for him to make a move this time?"

Sima Yi nodded and said, "I smell a conspiracy."

"speak English."

"Actually, the spies from the School Affairs Office said that Cao Jun's Eagle Snake Warriors have been dispatched frequently in the past few days, and Jia Xu is in charge of the Eagle Snake Mansion. That's why the disciples guessed that Jia Xu would make some moves."

The potter thought carefully for a while, then nodded and said, "That makes sense, then what do you think Jia Xu's conspiracy is?"

Sima Yi looked down and said: "The enemy's generals who came to fight include Jingzhou Army and Cao Army. As for the princes in Guanzhong, Ma Chao is the only one, but there are no others. Could it be?"

"You mean that Cao Cao and Liu Biao intend to attract my attention, and then let the Guanzhong princes attack our army's side village?"

Sima Yi nodded and said, "That's exactly the reason."

The pottery merchant smiled slightly and said: "Although this plan is cunning, it is just as it is. Immediately send an order to let Tai Shici, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Ji Ling and other generals in the outer towns prepare their troops and horses, guard carefully, and take strict precautions against Guanzhong. Sneak attack by cavalry."

"No!" Sima Yi turned around and was about to give an order, but the pottery merchant suddenly said to him, "Zhuge Liang is a crouching dragon, and Pang Tong is a young phoenix. I think you can call it a tomb tiger with your sullen energy. .”

Sima Yi's face fell instantly.

"Teacher, it's a nice nickname, but it makes people feel so uncomfortable when you say it." Sima Yi said aggrievedly, "What is Mensao?"

At the same time, the two sides off the court have already started a battle of formations.

Zhuge Liang divided the ten generals into five teams, and asked them to lead their soldiers and horses to enter from five angles of 180 degrees in the half circle of the opponent's formation at the same time. After those soldiers and horses rushed into the enemy's battle formation, Zhuge Liang From the rear, the herald was ordered to blow the horn of the division attack.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, A Fei, Huang Zhong, Xu Rong, Xu Huang, Xu Chu, and Zhang Yun were divided into five directions, each committing suicide, aiming at the five corners of the battle array set up by Pang Tong.

Pang Tong couldn't help but frown deeply when he saw the opponent's attacking style.

"What a Zhuge Liang, no wonder the pottery merchant asked him to fight on his own behalf. It's really amazing! I can see the weakness of my formation at a glance."

Pang Tong rubbed his hands lightly while contemplating, and ordered: "Order, change the formation of the three talents of heaven and earth."

The side general behind Pang Tong also knew formations quite well, and said: "Mr. Pang, our soldiers and horses have never been proficient in drills. Under such circumstances, if we change formation suddenly, I am afraid that the enemy will seize the opportunity."

Pang Tong sighed: "I also know that there will be disadvantages in doing so, and Zhuge Liang also knows it, so from the very beginning, he aimed at the eye of our army to drive the soldiers, in order to let us change the formation, and he can also seize this opportunity." A moment of opportunity."

"Then Mr. Pang, why do you still do this?"

Pang Tong smiled and said: "Although this is done in Zhuge Liang's trap, his soldiers and horses are not often practiced in battle formations, they are only formed temporarily. After changing formations, both sides can enter a stalemate. This way, we can fight for a while longer. Don't forget, in this battle with the Jinling army, winning is the second priority, the key is to delay time."

The general suddenly realized, and immediately ordered to wave the command flag, and Zhuo's soldiers and horses changed.

Pang Tong's army began to follow the track that had been drilled in advance. Some of the troops were fighting against the incoming Jinling army, and some of them began to adjust their formation along the track.

Pang Tong's actions fell into the eyes of Zhuge Liang and an old man in the enemy's rear phalanx.

Zhuge Liang gently swayed his feather fan, and said with a smile: "Pang Tong does not hesitate to do things. He dares to do such a risky method, but he is very human. He cannot compare with such an army. Once he wins, although the benefits are huge, but in case Even if he loses, the consequences will be dangerous, and this person is not a steady person."

In the rear of the enemy army, Jia Xu was beside Cao Cao, quietly watching the battle ahead.

When I was young, I saw Cao Cao say to Jia Xu: "Wen He, have you seen that Pang Tong has changed his formation?"

Jia Xu nodded and said, "I see."

Cao Cao smiled and asked Jia Xu, "What do you think?"

"In terms of the situation, this is the right move, but personally, it is a risky move."

Cao Cao didn't quite understand Jia Xu's words.

"Well, Wenhe, if it's convenient for you, you can make your words clearer. It's tiring for Cao to guess with you every day."

Jia Xu explained for Cao Cao: "In response to the current situation, it means that we are now taking advantage of the battle to send troops to harass other places. Personally, Pang Tong's move means that he is a person who likes to take risks. A person can go through a hundred victories without being defeated once, once he loses, he will be lost for a while, and it will be difficult to recover."

Cao Cao sighed with emotion, and said, "Wenhe, in your opinion, can the potters see our intentions?"

Jia Xu said indifferently: "On the first floor, let's send soldiers and horses from the princes of the Guandong to attack the camps near Qufu City. This point may be imagined by the pottery merchant. After all, he has many capable people under his command. As for the second floor."

Jia Xu paused, and said: "The chances of guessing right are not high, but the old man dare not say for sure."

Cao Cao shook his head with a helpless smile, secretly thinking that the old man Jia Xu never speaks absolutely, and he doesn't know whether this is an advantage or a disadvantage.

But before the battle, the soldiers and horses of the two sides were in the process of changing the battle, and there was a fierce confrontation.
