"Zhuge Liang, what are you planning?"
Zhou Yu squinted his eyes. He could not figure out Zhuge Liang's intentions.
"Report!"
The voice of the soldier outside broke Zhou Yu's train of thought. He waved his hand and ordered the soldier to enter.
"Governor, the Shu Army has sent someone to request an audience!"
The soldier bowed.
"Oh? Is it Zhuge Liang? "
Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows and ordered, "Bring him in."
"Yes, Sir!"
The soldier immediately left and brought in a person.
This person was less than six feet tall and was extremely short. He had an ugly face and a mustache. He held a feather fan and walked over slowly.
Zhou Yu was stunned when he saw this.
This person was Zhuge Liang?
That's not right. Zi Jing said that Zhuge Liang was more than eight feet tall and had a handsome face. How could this person be related to him?
That person lowered his head and smiled.
"I'm Pang Tong. Zi Shiyuan greets the Governor."
"Milord ordered me to come and help the Governor."
Pang Tong?
Only then did Zhou Yu realize.
Zhou Yu had naturally heard of Pang Tong's name before. He was called Feng Chao. Like Zhuge Liang, he was taught by Pang Degong and had the same name as Wolong.
However, his appearance was far from Zhuge Liang's.
"Mister, there's no need to be so polite."
Zhou Yu stood up and continued.
"Our army has already formed up on the frontlines and is ready to fight to the death against the Cao Army."
"Previously, Zhuge Liang said that he would send troops to help Jiangdong. Why is there no movement now?"
"Are you going to go back on your words and surrender to Cao Cao?"
Zhou Yu did not believe that Liu Bei would surrender to Cao Cao because of the enmity between Cao Cao and Cao Cao. Firstly, he wanted to show Pang Tong his strength. Secondly, he wanted to know why the Shu Army had not made a move.
Pang Tong fanned himself lightly with his feather fan. His expression became a little solemn.
"Commander-In-Chief, you may not know this, but ever since Wu Hou announced the alliance, Milord immediately sent troops to Jiangdong. However, the Cao Army used the trade route to send spies to Jiangdong. They buried troops in ambush along the route between Jiangxia and Jiangdong."
"Although the Cao Army's main force is on the Red Cliff frontlines and there are not many of them, they are stopping and stopping, greatly hindering our movement speed."
Zhou Yu sneered but did not reply.
Pang Tong did not mind and continued.
"Commander in chief, please be at ease. This alliance is only beneficial to our army. Our army will definitely not go back on our word. The army will arrive soon."
"As for surrendering to Cao Cao, Milord has always been benevolent and has a different philosophy from Cao Cao. Furthermore, our army and the Cao Army have fought many times, and we are like fire and water. The Shu Army will only be wiped out and will not surrender."
Seeing that Pang Tong had already said so much, Zhou Yu did not continue to make things difficult for him. Instead, he frowned.
"I won't hide it from you. This time, the Cao Army is huge, and we do not have many people. Our chances of winning are not high. Do you have a good plan to help us?"
Pang Tong laughed and said,
"Didn't you already think of a plan?"
"Just now, when I passed by the camp, I saw soldiers preparing sulfur and wood. You want to use fire to attack."
Zhou Yu was shocked. His impression of the short and ugly man in front of him had changed.
It seemed that the title of Young Phoenix wasn't just for show. Her observation skills were indeed quite good, but she didn't move even when she attacked.
"That's right."
Zhou Yu did not probe anymore and said directly,
"But now I'm worried about something. I hope you can give me some advice."
Pang Tong smiled and said,
"Is it about the fire starter?"
Zhou Yu was shocked and hurriedly nodded.
Pang Tong continued,
"Don't worry, Commander. Before I came, I also thought about using fire to deal with Cao Cao. As for the fire starter, I already have a plan."
Zhou Yu hurriedly said,
"Please tell me!"
However, Pang Tong narrowed his eyes. The smile on his face suddenly disappeared as he solemnly said,
"I am Pang Shiyuan. I am willing to be the fire starter!"
… …
The next day.
In front of the Cao Army.
Cao Cao was sitting in front of the chopping board. His face was as calm as water. From time to time, he would stroke his beard, as if he was thinking about something.
At this time, in front of Cao Cao were Jiang Gan and Cai Mao.
"Prime Minister, the navy is almost done training. The morale of the soldiers is high and they have vowed to take down Jiangdong and help you reclaim Jiangdong!"
Jiang Gan passionately said.
Jiang Gan and Cai Mao were getting more and more pleased with themselves.
Right now, Cao Cao was completely focused on taking down Jiangdong. However, only Jiang Gan and Cai Mao could do this.
It was no exaggeration to say that on the front lines of Red Cliff, the two of them were above everyone else. All the soldiers listened to their orders, making the two of them proud.
"Good!"
Cao Cao slapped the table and said, "The two of you have contributed greatly.
"The two of you have contributed greatly this time. When we win the battle, I will definitely reward you!"
"The two of you, continue training. Do not slack off. In a few days, we will set out to attack Jiangdong!"
"Yes!"
Hearing that there was a reward, Jiang Gan and Cai Mao's eyes lit up. They hurriedly responded and rushed to the barracks.
"Reporting to the Prime Minister!"
After the two of them left, a soldier came to report.
"Prime Minister, someone was in front of my camp and asked to see you."
"Oh? Who is it? "
Cao Cao was confused.
The war was about to begin, so why would someone want to see him?
"That person calls himself Young Phoenix, surnamed Pang, given name Tong Shiyuan."
The soldier truthfully replied.
"Okay, you can leave first. Let that person wait."
Cao Cao's expression did not change at all. He waved his hand and ordered the soldier to leave, his brows furrowed.
At this time, Cao Cao did not know that Pang Tong had joined Liu Bei.
Cao Cao had heard of this Young Phoenix before. Originally, Cao Cao cherished talents and would have gladly accepted Young Phoenix.
However, before they set off, Bai Feng said to Cao Cao, "Don't worry.
"Before the war, if a famous official comes to join, Prime Minister can open this bag. There will be a way to deal with them."
Cao Cao looked at the bag Bai Feng gave him. At first, he did not understand, but now, he seemed to understand.
"Could it be that Sir has predicted all of this?"
All the famous officials in the world had appeared. They were either with Liu Bei or under his command. Bai Feng's appearance had already surprised Cao Cao. Why would he suddenly tell him that a famous official might come to join him?
After thinking for a while, Cao Cao opened the bag and looked at the contents. His expression could not help but become serious.
"How could this be?"
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and carefully read every word Bai Feng wrote. Combined with Bai Feng's mysterious appearance before he left, he seemed to suddenly understand something.
After a long time, Cao Cao called out to the soldier.
"Bring that person who calls himself Young Phoenix here. Remember to be polite and not show any neglect."
"Yes!"
Cao Cao, on the other hand, placed the brocade pouch that Bai Feng gave him under the table. Then, he looked at the departing soldiers with a deep gaze.
