"Your Majesty, in the brief battle with Soochow some days ago, General Guan surrounded and annihilated Lu Meng's 10,000 soldiers and horses, and provided countless supplies and food. Do you think you should give General Guan some rewards?"

A few months ago, after Sun Ce and Liu Bei of the Eastern Wu Dynasty severed their alliance, he sent Lu Meng as the chief general and Zhou Tai as the deputy general. He led the Wu army with 10,000 troops all the way west to the eastern border of Shu. Guan Yu and Pang Tong guarded the eastern border.

Taking advantage of Lü Meng's proud psychological activities, Guan Yu made full use of the terrain advantages on the border of Shu and Wu to attract Lü Meng's troops to the mouth of the valley. When all the Soochow soldiers and horses entered, the Shu army fought out one after another and defeated Lü Meng in the Hulu Valley.

In this battle, Guan Yu changed his proud character, fully listened to Pang Tong's tactics of luring the enemy, and took advantage of Lu Meng's mentality of underestimating the enemy to lead his troops to attract Lu Meng. When Lu Meng saw Guan Yu personally coming to challenge, the anger in his heart was released again.

Not listening to Zhou Tai's dissuasion, Zhou Tai led his troops out without authorization. Zhou Tai had no choice but to lead the rear troops and horses to respond at the mouth of the valley.

But what they didn't expect was that because Lü Meng charged too hard, Zhou Tai and Lü Meng's troops were split into two on the mountains on both sides, so they began to throw firewood and rolling stones from the top, and the rocket men poured kerosene above the valley mouth and down the valley.

The firewood shot out rockets, and the fire instantly divided the troops of Lu Meng and Zhou Tai into two sections, making it impossible for the front and rear to look at each other.

After the battle, Lu Meng and Zhou Tai were both captured. Guan Yu wanted to kill them, but Pang Tong said: If General Guan lets these two people go, people all over the world will say that the general is broad-minded and does not remember the hatred of the past.

So Guan Yu let go of both Lu Meng and Zhou Tai. After the battle, Pang Tong simplified the result of the battle into a small victory, just to prevent Guan Yu from doing something unexpected because of this matter.

matter.

After listening to what Zhuge Liang said, he realized Pang Tong's good intentions. He praised Zhuge Liang on the spot in the palace: "My second brother is invincible in the world. Now that he has changed his original character, I am also very happy."

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan. If Guan Yu had really listened to Ma Liang and not sent a large number of troops to attack Fancheng, he would not have ended up like that back then. But looking at Pang Tong in turn, it was still Pang Tong's character towards him.

"Your Majesty, Liang believes that Shi Yuan should continue to serve as a military advisor beside General Guan and advise the entire eastern military."

Liu Bei nodded, he thought so too. When Pang Tong joined the gang, the two brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei respected Pang Tong the most, just because Pang Tong's character was similar to that of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and he could make plans in accordance with their directions and follow their directions.

When Zhuge Liang came to compete, Pang Tong seemed to be more qualified than him.

"Since you have said so, Kong Ming, I will not transfer Shi Yuan over, so I will promote Shi Yuan to the rank of Grand Sima and Guan Yu to the rank of General of the Guard. The two of them are of the same rank. However, in the event of an emergency military operation, the two of them need to cooperate with each other."

, come up with a reasonable battle plan together, and listen to whoever is reasonable."

So in this way, Liu Bei's imperial edict was quickly drafted, but instead of conveying the edict to Guan Yu through a mobile phone, the edict was still sent to Guan Yu using the old method of delivering an edict on a fast horse. On the edict, Zhuge Liang said a word of praise.

He didn't say anything, but simply explained that Liu Bei was pleased and satisfied with the cooperation between the two, and then discussed some issues about promotion and promotion. The rest was to use Li Yan as the envoy to send the reward materials.

At this time, Guan Yu and Pang Tong were playing chess. Their staff officer Ma Liang was watching the chess without saying a word, staring at the endgame on the chessboard thoughtfully with six eyes. Guan Yu was always hesitant about where to play the black stone in his right hand.

Pang Tong looked at Guan Yu's very hesitant expression and smiled: "Did General Guan hesitate?"

Thanks to Pang Tong for resolving the current embarrassment, Guan Yu also smiled slightly and said: "Shiyuan, you have set up a fascination formation for me... This chess game seems to be easy to break, but the chess pieces are closely linked. If

If you want to make a move, you need to be careful..."

Ma Liang, who had been silently watching the chess game, also said: "General Guan's words are exactly what I thought in my heart. The strategist's chess game is so mysterious..."

Pang Tong placed the white stone between a white stone and a black stone and said with a smile: "Ji Chang, General Guan, this chess game seems mysterious, and the chess pieces are interlocked with each other, but this chess is not a dead end, as long as

With the next move, you can survive this game!"

As soon as the chess piece fell, the game quickly came to life. Guan Yu and Ma Liang were shocked. It took them a long time to figure out the secret of this chess. Pang Tong was truly a military strategist. He was proficient in the formation of troops and played chess.

Just like the marching battle, Pang Tong regarded this chess game as a battlefield, so he used a little trick to connect the chess games and set up a game.

"Guan admires the wisdom of military advisors." Guan Yu looked at Pang Tong with admiration. This chess game was ever-changing. As the commander of an army, he was actually distracted by this ecstasy formation.

While the three of them were admiring each other, Li Yan's imperial edict and reward materials also arrived outside the military camp.

The soldiers guarding the camp outside the tent ran in and paid homage to Guan Yu and others: "Your Excellency, the minister ordered me to come in person. General, please move to the main camp!"

Pang Tong listened to the soldier's words, and then he said happily: "Hey, Zhengfang is here, General Guan will greet him quickly!"

Guan Yu and Ma Liang were confused. Li Yan came. Why was Pang Tong so happy?

With doubts, Guan Yu had no choice but to go to the front camp with Pang Tong to meet with Li Yan, the minister, whom he had not seen for a long time.

Seeing Guan Yu, Pang Tong and others arriving at the front camp, Li Yan stepped forward with a smile and said: "Congratulations to General Guan, congratulations to General Guan!"

"Zhengfang, why are you so happy?" Guan Yu still looked at Li Yan in confusion and asked.

Looking at the officials around Li Yan, most of them are mid-level officials. It seems that the order Li Yan came with this time is very important.

So, Li Yan took out the imperial edict. Guan Yu and others quickly changed places with Li Yan. Li Yan read out the imperial edict in the center of the camp: "The emperor has an edict. In the battle of Hulugu Valley, the two generals Guan Yu and Pang Tong encircled and annihilated Dongwu Lu Meng."

The 10,000-strong army was the first to achieve such a great victory since the beginning of this era. Guan Yu was promoted to the rank of General of the Guard, and was granted the title of Marquis of Guannei. The original title of Marquis of Shouting of the Han Dynasty was retained. Pang Tong was made the Grand Sima, and was granted the title of Marquis of Yongxiang.

He has fifty thousand taels of gold and silver, and one hundred bottles of fine wine. Each of his meritorious officers and soldiers will be rewarded! I appreciate this."

Guan Yu was shocked when he heard the news. How long had it been since this battle before the order was issued? Pang Tong smiled slightly and pushed Guan Yu to quickly accept the order. Guan Yu accepted the order in a daze and thanked him.

Ichiban is his elder brother who is far away in the capital.

"What is going on? What is the big brother thinking?"

After Li Yan left, Pang Tong pulled Ma Liang and Guan Yu into the camp and told Guan Yu the whole story. All this was for Guan Yu's good, so Pang Tong was good at making decisions at the time and simplified the issue of battle reports.

, this was discussed with Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei, and this canonization was also premeditated, so this was the result.
