Chapter 31: General Commander
In the large tent of the Chinese army, Sima Gongsun Qi gently put down the urgent report in his hand and let it fall on the cases in front of him. Then a solemn look appeared on his face.
All signs are conveying a message to the Wei army general, that is, South Korea intends to have a head-on confrontation with him and his army south of Xinzheng.
The enemy's situation is already clear, how to win is the key.
After pondering for a moment, Gongsun Qi slowly raised his head, and a low but powerful voice sounded in the tent.
"Here comes someone."
As soon as the voice fell, a soldier on duty outside the tent appeared in front of Gongsun Qi.
His eyes slowly fell on the figure in front of him, and he heard Gongsun Qi ask in a deep voice: "Where is General Pang Juan?"
…
While Gongsun Qi was in the tent asking about his soldiers, Pang Juan, who had been promoted to the position of general because of his military exploits in successive battles, was walking slowly in the camp.
Wearing a sharp long sword on his waist and wearing the armor of a Wei general, Pang Juan at this moment was a bit more heroic, a bit more chill, and a bit more majestic than he was half a month ago.
"General Pang Juan."
"General Pang Juan."
"General Pang Juan."
…
Pang Juan didn't pay too much attention to these Wei soldiers who passed by him and looked at him with some respect.
After simply responding, Pang Juan continued walking forward, letting groups of Wei soldiers pass by him.
A moment later, just as Pang Juan was about to continue walking forward, a voice came from a large tent not far away.
"Let me tell you, that day at the head of Huangchi City, the military commander took the lead and climbed up the ladder. After dodging several rounds of rolling logs and falling rocks from the Korean army at the city wall, I saw the military commander rush forward all of a sudden.
At the top of the ladder."
"At this moment, the two Korean soldiers on top of the city had discovered the camp commander and were about to stab the camp commander with their swords."
Just when this voice vividly described the scene of the Battle of Huangchi that day, and even got to the important point, an inappropriate question suddenly appeared.
"Did the commander finally rush forward?"
After this sound appeared, the tent in front fell into silence for a while, and then several more sounds rang out.
"Isn't this nonsense? If the village chief didn't rush to the city, what would we be listening to here?"
"In my opinion, the commander of the village is really powerful. Whenever we encounter dangerous battles or fierce battles, he always rushes in front of us."
"Yes, I admire the commander for this."
…
With the appearance of these voices, the topic in the camp ahead gradually changed from the discussion of the Battle of Huangchi to the praise of the commander they said.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, the owner of the original voice couldn't sit still.
"What are you doing, what are you doing, do you still listen to me..."
Halfway through his words, the voice suddenly stopped because an extremely familiar figure appeared in front of him.
Pang Juan slowly walked into the camp, his eyes passing over every familiar face in front of him, and finally his eyes fell on the person he just told.
Pang Juan was also very familiar with the person he just talked about, and the two even had a friendship where they trusted each other's back on the battlefield.
The other party looked at Pang Juan who suddenly appeared in front of him, and a surprised look flashed across his eyes.
No longer as casual as he had just spoken, this man stood up from the ground, his eyes fixed on Pang Juan in front of him.
"Tuen Chief, why are you here?"
Pang Juan's heart immediately warmed up at the other person's first name, and the memories of getting along with everyone emerged in his mind like a tide.
After a few breaths, a smile appeared on his face, and Pang Juan's eyes once again passed over the faces of everyone around him.
"I came to see you, how are you doing?"
"Okay, we are all doing well. Because I followed the commander of the camp and made meritorious service on the battlefield. When I return after the war, I will be able to account for my family."
"As long as you are nice."
After talking and laughing for a while, Pang Juan slowly turned around and prepared to leave the camp.
At this moment, a voice from behind suddenly sounded, causing Pang Juan to stop in his tracks.
"Captain, come back often."
"Yeah, definitely."
When Pang Juan walked out of the camp, the smile on his face became brighter and brighter. He was really happy at this moment.
Although he may not have many opportunities to go back and take a look in the days to come, this memory will always remain in his heart.
No matter how prominent Pang Juan becomes in Wei in the future, he will still think of these comrades who fought alongside him when he first joined the army.
All this will become a rare softness in Pang Juan's hard heart.
Just as Pang Juan was walking forward and thinking in his mind, a voice from the front pulled him out of his thoughts.
"General Pang Juan, Sima invites you to go and discuss important matters."
"good."
Following the footsteps of this soldier, Pang Juan soon appeared in front of the Chinese army's tent.
Stepping into the tent, Pang Juan looked solemn and bowed to the front, "General Pang Juan, please pay homage to Sima."
"No need to be polite." He stretched out his hand to support Pang Juan, and Gongsun Qi handed the urgent report to him, "Look at this, the urgent report came from Daliang."
After receiving the emergency report from Gongsun Qi, Pang Juan began to read it carefully, and the look on his face became more cautious as time went by.
Putting down this urgent report, Pang Juan said in a deep voice to Gongsun Qi: "I am reporting this to Sima, the general believes that the reason why South Korea mobilized heavy troops to march eastward is to force our army to engage in a decisive battle with them."
"good."
After saying this, Gongsun Qi turned around and came to a map in the big tent, and his fingers moved quickly on it.
"According to the strategy formulated by our army before the war, after our southern army seizes the enclave of South Korea's Central Plains, it will move forward to seize Xinzheng, the capital of South Korea."
Hearing what Gongsun Qi said, Pang Juan nodded slightly. He also fully recognized Wei Jun's action.
Intimidating Xinzheng, the capital of South Korea, will inevitably have a great impact on the morale of the South Korean army.
If the main force of the Korean army can be defeated under Xinzheng City, then Wei will have secured victory in this war in advance.
While he was thinking, Pang Juan heard Gongsun Qi say in a deep voice: "However, there are many resourceful people in South Korea. They have already understood our military strategy."
"According to detailed reports lurking in South Korea, the number of South Korean troops this time is no less than 60,000, and their purpose is to fight a decisive battle with our army and prevent our army from sending troops to Xinzheng."
"Fight? Or defend? Pang Juan, I want to hear your opinion."
Facing Gongsun Qi's somewhat inquiring gaze, Pang Juan pondered for a moment and slowly came to the map.
Looking at the situation between the enemy and ourselves marked on the map, Pang Juan's eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light, and then he made fists with both hands and smashed them up.
After a loud "bang", Pang Juan looked at Gongsun Qi beside him, "Since South Korea wants to fight, then let's fight."
"Sima, Pang Juan thought that even if the Korean army outnumbered our army, in this battle our Wei army..."
"Must win!"
