Chapter 882 Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Young

Yang Hong's words caused a commotion again, and even many generals nodded frequently, quite agreeing.

It is really that Jingzhou's power is too weak, which makes the Qin army, which wiped out and slaughtered hundreds of thousands of aliens at every turn, look down on them at all.

Liu Zhang rested his chin lightly, but didn't take the initiative to speak.

He also wanted to use this opportunity to see how his subordinates were doing.

Especially Pang Tong, Liu Zhang did not discuss with him beforehand.

After the discussion gradually subsided, Pang Tong chuckled a few more times before speaking slowly.

"Master Yang's words are very true! Returning home is not just a general's dream, it is also something that the generals have been looking forward to!"

"If Jingzhou can be won, it will prove to the elders in the clan that it was the right choice to come to Yizhou alone!"

Yang Hong's eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed.

After all, Pang Tong was younger and did not resist such a big temptation!

No wonder, how can one be completely calm when one is in a high position at such a young age?

"Mr. Pang..."

"Master Yang, wait a minute! I haven't finished talking yet."

Pang Tong raised his hand to interrupt Yang Hong, and showed an apologetic expression again.

"I believe that every civil and military officer of Lord Qin in the palace wants to win Jingzhou as soon as possible! But we also have to face a problem."

"Just like Xun Shangshu said, more than half of the soldiers and horses are lost, and self-protection is not enough!"

"In the Guanzhong area right now, we must not only guard the banks of the Yellow River, but also guard the ancient Weihan Road. To the south, we must always guard against sudden riots in Nanyang. To the north, we must also pay attention to the Hun army in the Hetao area!"

"Your Excellency Yang may not be aware of how much the battalions have lost in the two years of war!"

"I can tell Master Yang responsibly that almost all of the losses are more than half! Note that the losses are more than half!"

Yang Hong frowned, his words became more and more wrong, Pang Tong objected!

"Mr. Pang, didn't Yang just say that there is no need for the Guanzhong army to move lightly, and the Yizhou family is willing to bear everything to go east to Jingzhou!"

"Jingzhou is weak, so it's nothing to worry about. It only needs tens of thousands of troops, and with Yufu's 20,000 sailors, it will be like a broken bamboo!"

Pang Tong smiled and shook his head, even if he opposed him, he should be softer.

"Master Yang misjudged the situation in Jingzhou. The enemy we are facing now is not the weak Liu Biao!"

"Yu Fu bears the brunt of Nanjun Jiangling, and the current Nanjun prefect is Liu Bei."

"Liu Bei, who is he? A hero in troubled times! Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and even Duke Qin dare not underestimate him!"

Pang Tong paused for a moment and looked at Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang immediately understood what Pang Tong meant, and quickly asked for confirmation.

"Mr. Pang's words are true. Liu Bei is not a very good person, but his ability to confuse people is absolutely top-notch!"

"Guan Yu, Zhang Fei must have been heard by everyone. The strength of these two is no less than that of Qin's five tiger generals!"

The officials in the hall once again exclaimed in surprise, they did not expect Liu Zhang to have such a high opinion of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei!

With Liu Zhang's confirmation, Yang Hong's expression also became tangled.

Yang Hong didn't take Liu Bei too seriously, after all, Liu Bei's title of often defeated general was recognized.

Even if he was lucky enough to steal Jiangling and defeat Cai Mao's 30,000 army, Yang Hong did not pay attention to it.

Everyone knows that Jingzhou soldiers can only be described as garbage, and they have no combat effectiveness at all!

Didn't Xun You wipe out Cai Mao's 50,000 troops easily and captured him alive?

Therefore, defeating the Jingzhou Army led by Cai Mao is really nothing to be proud of.

However, since Liu Zhang himself said that Liu Bei should not be underestimated, and even compared Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to the five tiger generals, he really cannot be underestimated.

Yang Hong would never believe that Liu Zhang forcibly belittled himself and raised Liu Bei in order not to send troops.

At least Yang Hong is clear about the conflict between Liu Zhang and Liu Bei.

"Mr. Pang, do you mean that without using the elite troops in Guanzhong, it will be difficult to defeat Liu Bei?"

Yang Hong stared at Pang Tong's every move, hoping to see through his heart.

Pang Tong shook his head slowly.

Yang Hong was overjoyed immediately, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, it can work!

It's a pity that Pang Tong's next sentence made Yang Hong fall to the bottom of the valley.

"It's not that there is no hope, it is that there is no chance at all!"

"Liu Bei is just a bereaved dog who has been defeated repeatedly. How can he compare to the resourcefulness of a military adviser?"

Yang Hong gave a soft growl unwillingly.

War is not a complete competition between generals, nor is it about soldiers from both sides fighting each other brainlessly. Resourcefulness and command ability determine the key to the outcome of a war.

Could it be that Pang Tong thought he was no better than Liu Bei?

Don't say that Yang Hong doesn't believe it, I'm afraid no one will believe it.

"Master Yang, do you know that Liu Bei has a new military advisor named Zhuge Liang?"

Yang Hong shook his head. He is not in charge of intelligence, so how could he pay such detailed attention.

"Who is Zhuge Liang?"

Pang Tong pursed his lips and hesitated for a while before speaking again.

"There's a saying in Jingzhou, it's called Wolong, Phoenix and chick, and the world can be safe."

"Pang Tong is not talented, and he dare not think that he has the ability to secure the world, but he is also named Fengchu."

A flash of shock flashed in Yang Hong's eyes, and then he asked quickly.

"Could it be that Zhuge Liang is Wolong?"

Pang Tong nodded heavily.

"That's right! This Zhuge Liang and I are classmates and friends, and their talents and abilities are limitless!"

"The upper echelons of Jingchu put the crouching dragon before the young phoenix, can Mr. Yang understand the implication?"

It must be that Zhuge Liang's talent is even higher than Pang Tong's!

Yang Hong's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but took half a step back.

Pang Tong's talent is already so appalling, how strong is Zhuge Liang?

In a short time, Liu Bei jumped from a disease of ringworm to a serious problem in Yang Hong's heart.

Yang Hong turned to look at Liu Zhang, his expression was full of anxiety.

"Duke Qin, if it is true what Master Pang said, this Jingzhou must be captured as soon as possible!"

"Liu Bei has just captured Nanjun, and Jingnan is restrained by Liu Qi, and the hearts of the people have not yet returned."

"Once the protracted period of time has passed, Liu Bei will sit firmly in Jingzhou, and it will be difficult to attack again at that time!"

Right now it is no longer the problem of the Yizhou aristocratic family, but that Qin suddenly has a powerful enemy.

It is self-evident how important a counselor is to a power.

As an important minister of Qin State, Yang Hong naturally put Qin State's interests first.

Liu Zhang sighed softly, showing a trace of helplessness again.

"Ji Xiu, why don't you want to..."

This Ji Xiu's name made Yang Hong tremble all over.

It seemed that he hadn't heard Liu Zhang be called so affectionately for many years.

"Duke Qin, what's the problem?"

Liu Zhang nodded slightly, not only was he in trouble, he was simply dying.

"Ji Xiu, facing enemies like Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, you must win with one blow!"

"Once you fail, the consequences will be disastrous!"
