When Gan Ning received Zhuge Liang's letter, he felt a little puzzled.

It was clearly Li Qi who sent himself to pursue Xiahou Dun and coordinate with Faang Ling to form a pincer attack on Xiahou Dun. Why did he suddenly change his plan?

Pang Tong hadn't read Zhuge Liang's letter yet, but seeing Gan Ning's expression, he smiled and said, "Let me guess what this letter says."

Gan Ning thought to himself, even if I read this letter, I still don't understand its meaning. Can you guess it?

If you guessed it, I ate this letter.

However, Gan Ning didn't say it clearly, so he asked Pang Tong to guess.

Pang Tong said: "The situation must have changed. Xu Huang was restrained by Liao Hua and Deng Zhi in Shangyong, and Xiangyang was in danger. Therefore, the lord knew that Xiahou Dun had no hope of attacking Fangling, so he would definitely return to rescue Xiangyang. So we ordered us to set up an ambush along the way.

Annihilate Xiahou Dun."

Gan Ning: "..."

After a long silence, Pang Tong asked: "Is Tong's guess correct? Xingba would like to say something."

Gan Ning said: "That's not right. It was not what the lord expected, but what Zhuge's military advisor expected. The letter was also sent by someone from Zhuge's military advisor."

Pang Tong said: "Xingba, this is what you are wrong about. All decisions should be attributed to the lord. Even if it is Kong Ming's arrangement, it is authorized by the lord. If Cao's army is defeated in the future, it will be the credit of the lord. Do you understand?"

Gan Ning: "..."

Although Gan Ning felt that Pang Tong's statement was very problematic, at least one thing was correct: Zhuge's military advisor's arrangements were authorized by his lord, and as a general, he must obey them.

Gan Ning asked Pang Tong: "I have heard for a long time that Mr. Xiangyang is a famous scholar. Are you familiar with the geography here? Where can I set up an ambush?"

Pang Tong said: "There is a mountain to the north of this place called Qili Mountain. The road from Qili Mountain to Xiangyang is rugged and difficult, so you can set up an ambush."

Gan Ning laughed: "Since Mr. Pang also knows that the road in Qili Mountain is not convenient for the army to pass, why is Xiahou Dun willing to come? He doesn't know how to take the main road? The main road is also convenient for the northern cavalry to take advantage of it."

Pang Tong said: "Let's bury pots and make rice on the road first, leaving traces of stone stoves. He will not dare to come."

Gan Ning said: "Mr. Pang is indeed very scheming, so just follow what Mr. Pang said."

Not long after, Xiahou Dun responded to Cao Ren and withdrew his troops from Fangling and returned to Xiangyang. When passing by the Qili Mountain area, he was confused as to whether to take the main road or the small road.

In order to rush back to Xiangyang as soon as possible, Xiahou Dun intended to take the main road, but when he was about to start the road, the sentinel in front reported: "Ten miles away, traces of Yizhou soldiers burying pots and making rice were found."

Xiahou Dun quickly reined in his horse to stop the rear army, thinking that his grandma was a bitch and almost went astray and was ambushed by Yizhou soldiers.

Of course, Xiahou Dun did not rely solely on Shi Zao to judge the Yizhou soldiers ahead. Theoretically speaking, if he wanted to return to Xiangyang in a hurry, he would definitely have to take the main road, and this should be within the Yizhou soldiers' prediction.

Now that Ben Dun has predicted the enemy's prediction, he must do the opposite.

A general reminded Xiahou Dun: "General, if the enemy really ambushes on the road, they won't fail to deal with these conspicuous stone stoves, right?"

Xiahou Dun said: "You only know one, but you don't know the other."

The general asked: "What does the general mean?"

Xiahou Dun said: "There is a saying in the art of war: imaginary and real, real and imaginary. You can think of everything, but the enemy commander can't think of it? My guess is that the enemy has predicted that I can predict their prediction, so I deliberately

Leave traces of stone stoves to confuse us. Don’t you know that this general has already predicted that they can predict that I can predict their predictions? You can’t see through such complicated human speculations.”

General: "≡￣﹏￣≡"

Xiahou Dun refused to listen to his generals and insisted on leading his army to take the path of Qili Mountain.

Although Xiahou Dun's thinking was somewhat different from Pang Tong's prediction, his behavior was exactly in line with Pang Tong's prediction.

When we arrived at the Qili Mountain Trail, Xiahou Dun's troops marched slowly due to the rugged and bumpy road with many steep cliffs. Sometimes they had to dismount their horses and walk. However, such road conditions gave Xiahou Dun a complete sense of security.

Because there are either high cliffs or dark cliffs on both sides of the road, even if the enemy wanted to ambush, they would not be able to find a hiding place to ambush.

No, after walking for most of the day, I didn't even see a shadow of a Yizhou soldier.

Just when Xiahou Dun was proud of his accurate prediction, it suddenly started to rain.

Xiahou Dun ordered his soldiers to move carefully and slowly. If necessary, they must dismount and be sure not to fall under the cliff.

At the same time, on the top of the high cliff, Shen Mi and Lou Fa's team each held a bundle of firewood soaked in anointed oil and stared blankly at the sky.

On a June day, the child's face changes at will!

Pang Tong's plan was to throw flammable objects from the top of the mountain. Even if Cao's army could not be burned to death on the narrow path, it would still scare them into crowding each other and falling off the cliff. Moreover, his soldiers were so high up that they would not be able to compete with Xiahou Dun's tribe.

Close contact, causing any personal injury or death.

But it suddenly started raining, so there was no way to attack with fire!

If you just want to get down from a high place, rolling stones is also a good choice, but you can't pry out so many hard stones on the mountain in a short while.

In this situation, it was impossible to cause much damage to Xiahou Dun. A painless attack would be meaningless and would only scare the enemy away.

So Pang Tong ordered Shen Mi and Lou Fa to temporarily retreat and find another section of road to set up an ambush.

After all, there are still hundreds of miles away from Xiangyang, and you can easily find a geographical form that can take advantage of the Yizhou soldiers' specialty-Liannu.

Gan Ning and Pang Tong retreated quickly, while Xiahou Dun's march was relatively slow.

Because Gan and Pang did not encounter the pressure of an ambush, although Xiahou Dun felt that it was impossible for the Yizhou soldiers to set up an ambush in Qili Mountain, he still had to be careful, just in case.

After more than twenty miles, another fork in the road appeared in Qili Mountain.

The guide introduced: "Both of these roads pass through Xiangyang, but the one on the left leads to the west gate of Xiangyang City, and the one on the right winds to the south gate of Xiangyang City."

Pang Tong said: "Xiahou Dun was eager to rescue Xiangyang, so he would naturally go straight to the west gate, why would he detour to the south gate?"

So Pang Tong predicted that Xiahou Dun would go to the left, and ordered Gan Ning to look for a suitable geographical situation on the left to ambush the repeated crossbow troops.

Half a day later, Xiahou Dun also arrived at the fork in the road, and Cao Jun's guide also said the same thing to Xiahou Dun.

A general said: "The situation in Xiangyang is urgent, so you can go to the left. If nothing happens, we will arrive at the west gate of Xiangyang City tomorrow morning, and we will cooperate with General Cao Ren inside and outside to defeat the soldiers and horses at the west gate."

Xiahou Dun stroked his beard and nodded. Just when he was about to lead his army to the left, he suddenly changed his mind and said, "Go to the right!"

The generals will be confused and ask questions.

Xiahou Dun said: "The enemy coach Li Qi is at the south gate. Naturally I want to capture Li Qi alive."

Therefore, Gan Ning and Pang Tong remained lonely again.

When he learned that Xiahou Dun's tribe had gone south, Pang Tong couldn't help but sighed: "Xiahou is one-eyed, could it be that he is destined to return to his destiny?"
