"I don't know why Shi Yuan is here" Ma Chao's sudden words also caused a change in the atmosphere in the main tent.
Pang De also frowned, and then relaxed; Ma Dai did not speak and remained silent; after all, no matter what Pang Tong's purpose was, at least he had no ill intentions towards them, and he also helped a lot.
Just supporting Nanyang this time, not only Ma Chao, but both of them felt that there was a problem.
It cannot be said that the advice given by Pang Tong was not good, but that Pang Tong concealed something, which was Pang Tong's own purpose.
Pang Tong grinned.
Of course he also knew why Ma Chao asked such a question, and there was nothing strange about such a question.
After all, no one wanted to keep things unclear, even if the plan he proposed was beneficial to Ma Chao.
But if there is doubt, that is a problem.
Even though I didn’t understand it clearly, I was still wary in my heart.
He smiled and said: "I just need a certificate of nomination."
"Submit your name," Ma Chao said doubtfully.
"Exactly."
Pang Tong nodded and said, "Although the general has a heroic heart, he does not have the ambition to be a hero.
That's why his subordinates persuaded the general to support Nanyang.
You must know that it is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is difficult to give carbon in the snow."
Hear the words.
Ma Chao also nodded, agreeing with Pang Tong's words.
In his mind, he wanted to establish a famous career, but he had no intention of striving for hegemony.
Otherwise, he would not have agreed to support Nanyang.
Instead, he would have stayed in the Qiang land and established his own power.
"The general has a grudge against Cao Cao.
In the Central Plains, there are not many princes who can compete with Cao Cao, and Liu Qi, the governor of Jingzhou, is one of them.
In addition to the crisis in Jingzhou, the general led his army to come to support, so the general will defect to Jingzhou.
Mu’s subordinates can also be reused.”
"If Jingzhou is not lost, there will be a battle between Cao Cao and Jingzhou Mu sooner or later.
After all, both of them have the desire to dominate the Central Plains."
Pang Tong said calmly.
"But we can also take refuge with Yuan Shao in Jizhou, or Liu Bei in Xuzhou, or Sun Quan in Jiangdong.
And even if we have enmity with Cao Cao, if we surrender to Cao Cao, it is not impossible.
There is no need to join the chaotic Jingzhou."
Pang De said with a twinkle in his eye.
"No."
Pang Tong shook his head and said confidently: "Although Jingzhou seems to be in danger, the outcome is unpredictable.
No one can say what will happen in the end.
If Jingzhou wins, then the general trend will be set." , Liu Qi can advance into the Central Plains; if defeated, Liu Qi can completely retreat to Yizhou and Jiaozhou, and then make plans."
"What's more, although Jingzhou is now at a disadvantage, it is not without the opportunity to counterattack.
Otherwise, Cao Cao would not choose to attack the east and the west.
He came to attack Nanyang in name, but secretly transferred his troops to Bingzhou; the final battle situation in Jingzhou What will happen depends on whether Jingzhou City, Jiangxia and other places are attacked first, or whether reinforcements from Jingzhou arrive first."
Pang Tong comprehensively analyzed the current situation.
Although Nanyang was not captured due to their arrival, there were not many soldiers and horses left to defend the city and could not support the rest of Jingzhou.
The city of Jingzhou is difficult to defend, but Jiangxia is not so easily broken.
Then all that's left is to see when Jingzhou's reinforcements arrive and whether they can recapture the lost territory.
Moreover, he also had doubts in his mind, that is, there had been no news about Liu Qi personally leading the army and the Nanman army in Jiaozhou for several days.
There are still news coming back from other places from time to time.
Only the situation in the direction of Jianning was a little blurry, as if something had happened.

"What do you think?"
Ma Chao's voice sounded.
It also interrupted Pang Tong's thoughts.
"Liu Qi, the shepherd of Jingzhou, has a cloud of fierce generals and a forest of counselors.
If you and I don't show any signs, how can we integrate into it?
Generals, what you need is bravery, but what I need is strategy, that's all."
Pang Tong said with a slight smile.
This remark also showed his reason.
Ma Chao, Ma Dai, and Pang De also fell silent.
They were also able to hear a lot from Pang Tong's words.
As Pang Tong said, Ma Chao has no intention of fighting for hegemony.
As a result, in this chaotic Central Plains where the princes are all occupying one side, they need to find a backer, and Liu Qi is his target candidate, so he came to support him.
Nanyang, just to leave a good impression.
But Pang Tong relied on them and also took refuge in Liu Qi.
"There are many princes in the world.
With Shi Yuan's ability, you don't have to choose to come to Jingzhou, right?"
Ma Chao asked.
"Jingzhou Mu's surname is Liu, and she is the queen of the clan," Pang Tong replied without any hesitation.
"The same goes for Liu Bei in Xuzhou," Ma Chao said quickly.
Hear the words.
Pang Tong was silent for a moment, and then said quietly: "I have already been to Xuzhou, but doesn't the general think that Jingzhou at this time is the time for me to show off my talents?"
Seeing Pang Tong change the subject.
Ma Chao, Ma Dai, and Pang De could all feel what Pang Tong must have encountered in Xuzhou.
But Pang Tong didn't say it clearly, and they wouldn't get to the bottom of it.
After all, who didn't have some secrets?
"Nanyang General Liao Hua's life and death are unknown, and Jingzhou City is in danger.
It will take some time for Nanyang to report the situation here to Jiaozhou, and waiting is not an option.
I wonder if Shi Yuan has any countermeasures," Ma Chao said.
"The 10,000 Jingzhou troops from Xinye camped on the road to stop the 50,000 troops led by Yan Liang, but they could only stop it for a while.
After all, there is no danger to defend from Xinye to Jingzhou City.
Even if our army takes a detour and rushes to Jingzhou City, it will be like this Even with all the troops and horses, we can't recapture Jingzhou City from Yuan Jun," Pang Tong said.
Ma Chao and others also nodded.
With thousands of soldiers and horses, it is impossible to capture Yuan's army who can rely on the city wall.
Unless Jingzhou City has not fallen, and the inside and outside are coordinated, it is possible to defeat Yuan's army with a two-sided attack.
However, the premise is that the Jingzhou Army believes in them.
Pang Tong walked to a map, pointed at it, and continued: "General, please look, our army is here now, and Zhang Baiqi and Zhang Miao have already laid down their heads.
We can take Yingchuan, Xuchang, Chenliu and other places.
Once we come, Can intercept Yuan Jun's withdrawal Jizhou's retreat will put pressure on Yuan's army entering Jingzhou; secondly, it can serve as a barrier to Nanyang; thirdly, if Liu Bei's troops in Xuzhou bypass Runan, we can go straight to Xiaopei, forcing Liu Bei to return for reinforcements
.
"
After listening.
"I'll wait for the second opinion" Ma Dai and Pang De agreed.
Ma Chao has not yet made up his mind.
Pang Tong continued: "At the same time, the general can write a letter with his own hand, send an envoy to Nanyang City, and let him deliver the letter to the hands of the Jingzhou Mu, and everything will be safe."
"In this case, we will take Yingchuan, Xuchang, Chenliu and other places as Shi Yuan said," Ma Chao said with a flash in his eyes.

Decide.
Ma Chao did not hesitate and quickly wrote a handwritten letter and had it delivered to Nanyang City.
Finally, he let the soldiers have a good meal and rest for a day, then led the army to Yingchuan and other places.
Among Yanzhou.
Because Zhang Baiqi and Zhang Miao joined forces to attack Nanyang, there were not many soldiers and horses left behind.
With thousands of soldiers and horses, and recruiting some surrender troops, it is enough to capture several places
