"Haha, what a joke. A trapped beast?" Wang Kang sneered disdainfully.
"Sir Wang, please step back!" The two bodyguards beside Wang Kang said to Wang Kang. Two swords were drawn and slashed towards Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan. The long sword in Pang Shiyuan's hand was blocked very quickly.
"Pang Shiyuan, don't waste your time!" Wang Kang said coldly, "These two people are good fighters that I invited from the army. They have fought no less than a hundred battles on the battlefield. What can a scholar like you use to resist them? Are you going to scare them away with your ugly appearance?" Wang Kang sneered. "I advise you to be honest. Death is just a short while. It won't hurt you!" Wang Kang only wanted Pang Tong's head. With this head, he could go and claim credit. This way, not only would his relationship with the Pang Clan be relieved, he could also curry favor with the Pang Clan's Young Master Pang Shanmin. Why not?
"Huh?" Pang Tong narrowed his eyes and looked at the two experts. Pang Shiyuan had learned fencing when he was in the Pang family, but he was no match for these two men who had experienced hundreds of battles.
Several of Pang Tong's subordinates had already been taken care of. Although the two of them didn't have super strong martial arts skills, every move they made was definitely a killing move.
"Die!" After killing Pang Tong's men, the two bodyguards charged at Pang Tong directly.
"Do you really think you can defeat me?" Pang Tong sneered.
"Do you still want to struggle?" Wang Kang looked at Pang Shiyuan playfully.
"It's hard to say who will die! If I don't do it now, when will I? "Pang Tong shouted and threw out the long sword in his hand.
"Bluff!" Wang Kang said disdainfully. "Have you given up?"
Just as Wang Kang was about to order the two bodyguards to cut off Pang Tong's head, the two experts frowned. A dignified atmosphere condensed around them.
"Not good, retreat quickly!" One of them shouted to the other. The two of them quickly retreated with tacit understanding.
However, someone was even faster than them. A black figure descended from the sky like a cannonball. A cold light flashed in his hand.
"Xi-boy!" The cold gleam in the black figure's hand was the longsword that Pang Tong had thrown out. This longsword did not display the technique of a longsword at all. Instead, it was a horizontal slash. An old guard reminded the young guard beside him.
Young Bodyguard 1 seemed to be a little unconvinced. Do you really think that a sword is a saber when you use it like that? The saber in his hand immediately rose up to meet the long sword that was chopping down fiercely.
"Dang!" The two sharp blades met in the air, and the violent collision caused sparks to fly from the surface of the sword and the saber.
The longsword and saber collided. The eyes of the person called Xi-zi widened. "No, impossible!"
"Pu!" Xi-zi was directly cut from the middle. His whole body was directly cut into two by the longsword. His saber was also broken. His internal organs were scattered on the ground, red and green.
This longsword was given to Pang Shiyuan by Liu Bei. Its sharpness could be seen.
"Xi-zi!" The old man roared angrily. He and Xi-zi had been accompanying each other on the battlefield. The two of them had transformed from soldiers to marquises. Originally, they wanted to be transferred to Xiangyang to guard these nobles. That way, they would be able to live a carefree life. However, who would have thought that one of them would be killed?
"Longsword is a woman's weapon!" After beheading one of Wang Kang's bodyguards, the figure of the black figure was revealed. His whole body was pitch-black. His face had a long beard and his tone was very rude. He was the third brother of Liu Bei who came with Pang Tong, Zhang Fei, Zhang Yide! Zhang Yide's face still had scars! He smiled slightly. The scars on his face were very sinister.
His injuries were not completely healed yet! But he could already move. Now, Zhang Fei had a person in his heart that he must kill. That person was Huang Zu's son, Huang She. Thinking of Huang She, Zhang Fei's pair of bronze eyes could not help but appear with killing intent.
Because of this Huang She, Zhang Fei was able to enjoy an inhuman treatment.
"Third General, deal with that bodyguard. Leave Wang Kang for me!" Pang Tong shouted to Zhang Fei.
"Understood, Military Advisor!" Zhang Fei yawned. Although the longsword in his hand was not smooth, killing the bodyguard in front of him was not a problem.
If you carefully looked at Zhang Fei's appearance, you would find that Zhang Fei's every move had a trace of sinister feeling.
"You killed Xi-zi! You killed Xi-zi!" The old bodyguard's eyes were firmly staring at Zhang Fei. The saber in his hand was trembling.
"I killed him. So what?" Zhang Fei looked in front of him very indifferently. Blood was still flowing on his longsword. The blood was still boiling hot. It was the blood of the person called Xi-zi just now.
"Kill him. Hurry up and kill him!" Wang Kang was frightened by Xi-zi's tragic death. Even if he had killed someone, he would have just slit his throat. How could he have been cleaved into two like this? His internal organs were scattered all over the ground, and Wang Kang felt that he couldn't walk anymore.
"You must die. Pay with your life for Xi-zi!" The old bodyguard's eyes were red.
"Don't worry. You will go down and see him soon!" A red light flashed on Zhang Fei's face. Killing Xi-zi caused Zhang Fei's bloodthirsty emotions to surge again.
"Die for me!" The old bodyguard rushed towards Zhang Fei.
"Killing people. Killing people. I like it the most. I like it the most!" A sinister look flashed on Zhang Fei's face. The longsword in his hand was once again used as a saber.
"Hiss!" The saber fell and cut open Zhang Fei's clothes. It left a bloody mark on his strong muscles.
Just a little bit lower, just a little bit lower, there would be the heart. However, the old guard had no chance. There was no way for the saber to go any further. There was a huge wound on his neck, and blood was gushing out.
A sense of powerlessness rose in his heart. "You, you, Xi-zi, Xi-zi!" The old bodyguard wanted to gasp for breath. However, blood flowed into his trachea. His face was full of unwillingness as he fell to the ground.
"There is only one left!" Zhang Fei picked up the longsword and did not wipe it. He directly walked towards Wang Kang.
"Don't come over. Don't come over!" Wang Kang staggered. In his opinion, Zhang Fei was a demon-like figure. Wang Kang was full of deception. He was always arguing. How could there be such a white saber in and out of a red saber? Moreover, Zhang Fei only cared about killing people. He did not care about whether it was bloody or not. Naturally, Wang Kang was scared out of his wits.
"Hehe, hehe!" Wang Kang told Zhang Fei not to go over. However, Zhang Fei was getting closer and closer. When Zhang Fei frowned, an unpleasant smell rose. Looking carefully, it turned out that Wang Kang was scared by Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei immediately lost interest. He lifted Wang Kang with one hand and threw him at Pang Tong. "Yours!"
Pang Tong did not dislike Wang Kang's filth. Instead, he squatted down and said, "Lord Wang Kang."
"Second Young Master, Second Young Master, please spare me. Just treat me as a fart and let me go! I, Wang Kang, did not know how to appreciate kindness. I, Wang Kang, was blind. I beg you, please spare me. I do not want to die. I beg you, please spare me on account of my previous contributions to you! " Wang Kang saw Pang Tong. The current Pang Tong was as beautiful as a flower in front of him. He was much better than that burly man. Wang Kang directly knelt in front of Pang Tong and begged with tears and snot.
"Let you go? It's not impossible!" Pang Tong, Pang Shiyuan said calmly.
"Ahhh, Second Young Master, you are a great person!" Wang Kang's eyes were filled with hope.
"Tell me, who leaked the news that I killed Tang Yun?" Pang Tong asked himself. He had done a flawless job of killing Tang Yun. How did someone find out in the end?
"This, this!" Wang Kang wanted to say something but stopped.
"What? Lord Wang Kang, are you going to be a loyal soldier?" Pang Tong said calmly.
Wang Kang trembled when he saw Pang Tong's expression. "It was His Highness the King Of Shu and Madam Cai!" Wang Kang directly revealed the two. Liu Mang directly told Madam Cai who killed Tang Yun, and Madam Cai told Jingzhou Overseer Liu Biao.
"Liu Mang again!" Pang Tong's eyes were filled with murderous intent. "And that bitch too!"
If Pang Tong hated Liu Mang before, it was only because he and Liu Mang worked for different masters. Now, Pang Tong and Liu Mang had a family feud. Pang Clan, Pang Clan! Right now, Pang Tong has been completely wiped out of the Pang Family. The Pang Family of Jingzhou no longer recognizes Pang Tong. The result of all this is Liu Mang, Liu Hanyang.
Pang Tong didn't even think about the fact that he killed Tang Yun. In his eyes, it was Liu Mang. Without Liu Mang and Liu Hanyang, none of this would have happened. There was also Madam Cai. That bitch went back on her words and was possessed.
"Who else knows I'm here besides you?!" Pang Tong continued.
"No one, no one!" Wang Kang quickly waved his hand.
"Really?!" Pang Tong looked at Wang Kang and asked. Pang Tong needed to leave Jingzhou. He couldn't stay there any longer.
"Really, really!" Wang Kang nodded his head vigorously. This was indeed a hidden place that Wang Meng had provided for Pang Tong. When Wang Kang came, he didn't tell anyone about it because he wanted to take all the credit for himself. He wanted to take Pang Tong's head and claim the credit! If Wang Kang really succeeded, he would definitely become a new noble in Jingzhou. At the very least, Madam Cai would have a good impression of him. Women were good at holding grudges. Pang Tong had schemed against Madam Cai. Madam Cai naturally wanted Pang Tong dead.
"Alright! Pack up and get ready to leave! "Pang Tong said to the remaining people.
"Yes!" The survivors were all injured. They didn't want to stay in Jingzhou any longer. Many of them had died on this trip. It was better to return to Jingzhou.
"Second Young Master, Second Young Master, just treat me like a fart!" Wang Kang was still trying to flatter Pang Tong.
"Third General, I'll leave him to you!" Pang Tong looked at Wang Kang with disgust and said to Zhang Fei.
"Yes, Military Advisor!" Zhang Fei picked up his weapon again. Pang Tong had already put away his sword. He could only use the saber on the ground.
Wang Kang's face turned green when he saw Zhang Fei pick up the saber. "Second Young Master, Second Young Master, you can't! You can't! You said you wouldn't kill me!"
"Yes, I said I wouldn't kill you. But I'm not the Third General!" Pang Tong said calmly.
"Second Young Master, Second Young Master!" Wang Kang still wanted to plead.
"Haha, Master Wang Kang, let me send you on your way!" Zhang Fei walked over ferociously.
"Pang Tong, Dark Fatty, you'll die a horrible death!" Wang Kang's angry curses came from the other side. Wang Kang knew that he couldn't live, so he naturally raised his voice. However, after shouting twice, he lost all signs of life. A large head flew up into the sky, blood splattering all over the ground.
Zhang Fei's face was also splattered with blood. However, Zhang Fei didn't wipe it off. Instead, he reached out his hand and licked the blood off his face.
…
Pang Tong's men quickly finished cleaning up. There were a few horses in the hidden courtyard. Everyone got on the horses and Pang Tong entered the carriage.
"Military Advisor, are we leaving now?" Pang Tong's men asked.
"Yes!" Pang Tong nodded. "We can't stay in Jingzhou any longer!" Pang Tong used to be the second young master of the Pang family, so those people didn't dare to touch him. However, the second young master of the Pang family had been taken away, so Pang Tong was in danger now. It was inevitable that there would be more people like Wang Kang who wanted to use Pang Tong's head to claim credit. Therefore, the most important thing now was to leave Jingzhou.
"Military Advisor, what about Fan City's provisions?" Fan City's rations amounted to more than a hundred thousand dan. This was the result of their hard work. Pang Tong had also used up all the money left behind by his deceased father. If they couldn't get any rations from Yu Province, they wouldn't be able to return.
"Fan City's provisions!" Pang Tong's eyes darkened. He was naturally more concerned about the provisions than anyone else. This batch of provisions wasn't just the capital for the expansion of the Yuzhou Army. One must know that the world was about to be settled. If they didn't increase their strength, they would only end up being annexed by others.
Without this batch of provisions, Pang Tong didn't know how to face Liu Bei. One must know that the soldiers in Nanyang Prefecture were eagerly eyeing the provisions. Without this batch of provisions, Nanyang Prefecture couldn't be defended.
Pang Tong gritted his teeth, his eyes turning red. He looked like a gambler who had lost a lot. He was about to bet his last card. "Liu Biao, Liu Jingsheng, since you are so heartless, don't blame me for being unjust! Men! "
"Get on two horses and gallop towards Wan City as fast as you can. Tell Milord to immediately send troops to attack Fan City, take Fan City, and forget about Jing Province! Threaten Xiangyang! "Pang Tong said through gritted teeth.
"Military Advisor, attack Fan City? This, this? " His subordinates were also stunned. Fan City wasn't part of Yu Province, but Jing Province. If they attacked Fan City, it would mean that they had shed all pretense of cordiality with Jing Province.
"Haven't they fallen out with each other yet?" Pang Tong sneered. He knew that if he attacked Fan City, the worst outcome would be Jingzhou and Yangzhou joining forces to attack Yuzhou. However, Pang Tong had no other choice because Yangzhou and Jingzhou had already joined forces. If he couldn't get the provisions now, Yuzhou would be doomed sooner or later. He might as well fight for it. If he took down Fan City, not only would he get the provisions in Fan City, it would ease the urgency of Yuzhou and give Yuzhou enough capital to expand their army, but taking down Fan City would also allow him to threaten Xiangyang.
If Fan City was close to Xiangyang by land, it would only take a day. If it was by water, it would take half a day. It could be said that Fan City was a barrier above Xiangyang. Once Fan City fell, Xiangyang would become the second target. Pang Tong was gambling. If he could take Fan City in one go, he wouldn't mind attacking Xiangyang directly.
If he took Fan City, he would be able to threaten Jingzhou. At that time, he could use Fan City as a basis for negotiations. If Liu Biao didn't want to move the capital, he would have to listen to the conditions.
"Yes!" Once Pang Tong's subordinates received the order, they immediately took their two best horses and galloped away.
"Let's go quickly too! Jingzhou is no longer peaceful! " Pang Tong said as he walked into the carriage. The coachman drove the carriage towards the city gate.
Pang Tong had Wang Kang's token in his hand, so he could travel freely in Xiangyang. The carriage went directly from the inner city to the outer city.
However, they were still noticed by some people.
"Did you see it clearly?" A man in plain clothes asked another man.
"General, we saw it clearly! That carriage has Wang Kang's token. That's why it can travel freely! "
"Did they leave Xiangyang?"
"Yes!"
"Good, inform the Lord immediately. It's time to act!" In the dark, Xiangyang was also surging with undercurrents.
…
"Military Advisor, we have already left Xiangyang. If we go any further, we will be heading towards Shangyong!" Pang Tong's men asked. After leaving Xiangyang, Pang Tong didn't go directly to the ferry. Instead, he went in the opposite direction. He specifically chose the most difficult path to travel and headed towards Shangyong. If they went any further, they might really end up in Shangyong. That was why the coachman stopped the carriage to ask.
"How long have we been traveling?" Pang Tong asked.
"More than a day!" The coachman replied. They traveled quickly in the carriage.
"A day!" Pang Tong frowned. He didn't want to take the bumpy path, but Pang Tong's alertness reminded him that it was impossible to take the ferry directly.
Even though they had been traveling for a day, Pang Tong still felt uneasy! He continued to speak to the carriage, "If we continue for another day, we will reach Shangyong!" Pang Tong said to the coachman. Shangyong was Zhang Lu's territory. Zhang Lu and Liu Biao of Hanzhong really minded their own business. The two of them could be considered the best neighbors in history. For example, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Tao Qian, and Yuan Shu, all of them fought to the death. Even Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, who grew up naked, peeked at girls bathing together, kidnapped girls, and finally formed an alliance. Even so, when Yuan Shao's territory bordered Cao Cao's territory, they immediately started fighting.
Zhang Lu and Liu Biao of Hanzhong were so harmonious that it made people's hair stand on end. It could be said that when a fugitive escaped from Jingzhou to Shangyong, Liu Biao didn't even need to say anything. Zhang Lu of Hanzhong ordered people to tie up the fugitives and send them to Jingzhou!
Shangyong City, on the other hand, did not have a garrison. Zhang Lu sent officials to govern Shangyong, but Shangyong City did not have a garrison. This was to prevent friction with Jingzhou.
Zhang Lu's Hanzhong was also a rich place. It also had plenty of provisions and was a good place. Jingzhou was also a land of fish and rice. The two didn't need each other's support, but they were indeed potential allies.
Pang Tong's guess was right. In the Yangtze River between Xiangyang and Nanyang County, there were several warships of the Jingzhou Navy cruising. The flag on these warships was that of the Cai Family. On the surface, it was to say that the river was not peaceful recently, but in reality, it was to wait for Pang Tong to appear so that they could use the ballistae on the warships to send them to the bottom of the Yangtze River.
But who knew that Pang Tong, Pang Shiyuan, was smart enough not to take the water route. Instead, he took the opposite route. He went to the upper reaches of the sea and waited for an opportunity to return. As a result, the Cai Clan's battleships missed.
However, Pang Tong was still targeted. A group of people on warhorses followed behind Pang Tong.
"This Pang Tong, Pang Shiyuan is indeed capable. He knows that he can't return to Nanyang now!" A man with a scar on his face among the group of knights said to the others as he looked at the carriage that was gradually disappearing into the distance.
"Hehe, he can't run away. No matter how capable he is, he still fell into Mister Jia's trap!" Another man laughed.
"Alright, we can't let them escape anymore! Let's destroy them on Jingzhou's land! " The man with the scar on his face said. Shangyong was Zhang Lu's territory. Naturally, he didn't want to complicate matters. It was better to deal with them on Jingzhou's land.
"We'll listen to Brother Guan!" The honest man replied.
This group of people were Liu Mang's subordinates. The leader was Guan Hai, and Zhou Cang was assisting him.
"Brothers, we're alive! Let's move! " The man called Brother Guan revealed a stern expression. He was injured by the three brothers of the Liu family and almost died. Many of his brothers were killed by the three brothers of the Liu family. This hatred must be avenged. Therefore, when Lord Liu Mang sent Guan Hai to deal with Pang Tong, Guan Hai was the first to volunteer. Liu Mang even wanted to send Zang Ba to do this because Zang Ba was more mature and skilled in martial arts. However, Guan Hai volunteered himself. Liu Mang had no choice but to send Guan Hai because Guan Hai's performance at Luokou Du made him a trusted subordinate. Liu Mang also didn't want to hurt Guan Hai's feelings. Therefore, Zhou Cang was sent by Liu Mang to assist Guan Hai.
"Brothers, I'll kill a few for you as a sacrifice!"
