In the Taishou Mansion in Yucheng, after Leng Bud was taken to the guest room by Pang Xi's housekeeper, Pang Xi's housekeeper left, and Leng Bao lit a candle and sat quietly in the room, as if waiting for someone to arrive.

After a short while, there was a knock on the door, and Leng Bao hurriedly asked, "Who?" ”

"It's me!" A familiar voice came in from outside the door, and after Leng Bud heard it, there was a burst of joy on his face.

Leng Bao hurriedly got up to open the door, and after the door opened, two familiar figures appeared in front of Leng Bao, one of these two people was Zhang Fei, and the other was Peng Tuo, both of whom were wearing Qiang clothes and dressed as Leng Bao's subordinates.

Leng Bao hurriedly brought Zhang Fei and Peng Tuo into the house, and then when he closed the door, he poked his head out and looked around, and saw that no one was paying attention here, so he closed the door with peace of mind.

"Lord, what are we going to do next?" Leng Bud turned around and said to Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei said: "We have already entered the city, and the next thing to do is to think of controlling the gate leading to the city, so that Yan Yan can lead the army into the city, and then join us inside and outside." ”

Leng Bao said: "Lord, I still want to try to persuade Pang Xi to surrender, if Pang Xi agrees to surrender, then we don't need to use swords anymore." ”

Zhang Fei sneered and said, "Leng Dudu, you are still too naïve. Don't you see it yet? Although Pang Xi was the Taishou of Guanghan, the army in the city was not under his command, but under the command of two other people......"

"You mean Gao Pei and Yang Huai?" Leng Bud asked.

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "When I entered the city today, I have been secretly observing, and I noticed that Gao Pei and Yang Huai have always been dissatisfied with Pang Xi. Even looking at Pang Xi's eyes were full of hatred. Afterward. I noticed again. The army in the city didn't buy Pang Xi's account at all, but only obeyed Gao Pei and Yang Huai's orders, which shows that Pang Xi, the Taishou, does not have much power, at least he has absolutely no military power in his hands. Therefore, even if you persuade Pang Xi to surrender, he has no military power in his hands. The army in the city did not obey his command at all, and it was inevitable that they would meet each other. Moreover, I also noticed a detail, when Gao Pei and Yang Huai saw Liu Xun appear, their faces were shocked, and the words and deeds of the two of them were also a little weird, maybe it had a lot to do with Liu Xun being surrounded......"

Leng Bud said in surprise: "How is this possible?" Gao Pei and Yang Huai are Liu Zhang's henchmen, Liu Xun is Liu Zhang's eldest son, how could they harm Liu Xun? ”

Zhang Fei said: "Think about it, Liu Xun came to Luocheng to visit relatives. Such an important matter, how could Gao Pei and Yang Huai not know? Later, Liu Xun went to Baishui Pass. Gao Pei and Yang Huai did not send anyone to escort them, and what is even more coincidental is that as soon as Liu Xun arrived at Baishui Pass, Zhang Lu's army killed him, are these really just coincidences? ”

Leng Bao said: "Lord, are you saying that someone wants to deliberately set a trap and want to murder Liu Xun?" ”

Zhang Fei said: "This is just a guess on my part, I don't know what the hell is going on." But I always feel that there is something wrong with Gao Pei and Yang Huai, so I have to take precautions against them. Lengdu Dudu, how many soldiers and horses are there in the city? ”

"There are 1,000 horse troops, 19,000 infantry, a total of 20,000 people, Gao Pei and Yang Huai are the left and right governors respectively, each commanding 10,000 troops. Ruocheng is the only way to Chengdu, so Liu Zhang took this place as a military town to defend Chengdu, if Chengdu is in trouble, Luocheng will send troops to rescue, if Luocheng encounters danger, Chengdu will go out to rescue, the two places are not too far apart, can be each other's horns. Leng Bud replied.

Peng Tuo suddenly interjected: "This is a disaster, if Gao Pei and Yang Huai really have bad intentions towards Liu Xun, they will definitely do it tonight to make up for their mistakes when they see that Liu Xun is not dead." Although we have already entered the city, there are only 1,000 people, while Gao Pei and Yang Huai have 20,000 people, and the difference in strength is too great, and we may not be able to defeat them. ”

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Peng Tuo, having said that, things are not counted like this. If Gao Pei and Yang Huai really have ill intentions towards Liu Xun, although they can command 20,000 people, they may not be their henchmen among these 20,000 people, and the person they want to kill is Liu Zhang's son Liu Xun, if it is not a confidant, no one will be willing to do this. Moreover, Gao Pei and Yang Huai categorically did not dare to kill Liu Xun openly, and they would inevitably send someone to pretend to be a bandit and kill Liu Xun at night. Therefore, what we have to do now is to protect Liu Xun and even Pang Xi's family as much as possible, and let Gao Pei and Yang Huai's plan fail first. ”

As soon as Zhang Fei's words fell, there was a rush of footsteps outside Leng Bao's door, and everyone held their breath and didn't dare to make a sound.

The sound of hurried footsteps soon came to Leng Bao's door, and stopped here, followed by a knock on the door, accompanied by a human voice: "Brother Leng Xian, have you rested?" ”

When Leng Bao heard this voice, he knew that this voice was Pang Xi's, he was a few years younger than Pang Xi, and Pang Xi should call him a virtuous brother, but this kind of title, between the two people, was the first time.

In the room, Zhang Fei and Peng Tuo didn't speak, Leng Bao looked at Zhang Fei and asked softly: "Lord, it's Pang Xi, what should I do now?" ”

Zhang Fei said: "Visiting late at night, and coming in person, there must be something important, Peng Tuo and I hid behind the screen first, you just go to open the door, ask the reason, and act when you see the opportunity." ”

Leng Bud nodded, Zhang Fei pulled Peng Tuo and hid behind the screen, and then Leng Bud went to open the door.

The moment the door was opened, Leng Bao saw Pang Xi's panicked face, frowned, and hurriedly asked, "Pang Taishou, what's wrong with you?" ”

Pang Xi didn't say a word, he squeezed directly into Leng Bao's room, then grabbed Leng Bao's hand, and hurriedly said, "Brother Leng Xian, you must save me this time......

As he spoke, Pang Xi wanted to kneel, but Leng Bud was inexplicable, hurriedly helped Pang Xi, and asked: "Pang Taishou, what are you doing, you can't help it, you can't help it!" ”

Pang Xi said with a crying voice: "Brother Leng Xian, in the huge city, the only thing I can trust now is you, I just received a secret report, Gao Pei and Yang Huai have secretly assembled a team of soldiers and horses, and they are ready to bloody the Taishou Mansion tonight, and kill me, the eldest prince and even you......"

"What do you say? Aren't Gao Pei and Yang Huai the lord's confidants, how could they do this? Leng Bud said.

Pang Xi said: "Brother Leng Xian, don't you know, Gao Pei and Yang Huai have actually been in the same league with Zhang Ren, they plan to murder the eldest prince, after the matter was leaked, they wanted to make up for their mistakes, Gao Pei and Yang Huai gathered people and wanted to do it here." Although I am a Guanghan Taishou, but because Zhang Ren is in the way, he arranged Gao Pei and Yang Huai by my side and took away my military power, if Gao Pei and Yang Huai really want to kill me, I will definitely not have the strength to fight back. ”

Leng Bao said: "Pang Taishou, are these messages reliable?" ”

Pang Xi said: "Of course it's reliable, these news were transmitted back by the people I planted around Gao Pei and Yang Huai, don't look at me on the surface, in fact, every day is like a year, so I have to arrange eyeliner by Gao Pei and Yang Huai's side, so as not to lose my life and don't know what happened......"

Leng Bao asked: "Pang Taishou, I still don't understand, why did Gao Pei and Yang Huai kill you, and why did Zhang Ren kill the eldest prince?" ”

Pang Xi said: "What kind of person Zhang Ren is, you must know better than anyone else, this person has a strong desire for power, the eldest son is quite talented, and he is my son-in-law, so he is naturally closer to me, but I am not a native of Yizhou, so I have also become the target of Zhang Ren's exclusion." Under the knee of the lord, there are only two sons at present, one is the eldest son Liu Xun, and the other is the second son Liu Xian, Liu Xian is only eight years old now, easy to control, Zhang Ren wants to wait until the lord is a hundred years later, and he can still grasp the power of Yizhou, as the so-called son of heaven and a courtier, if the lord dies and the successor is the eldest prince, then the power in Zhang Ren's hands will definitely be weakened, and even will be demoted. Therefore, Zhang Ren thought of killing the eldest prince and treating the second prince as his puppet. ”

Leng Bud said: "So, isn't it very dangerous for us now?" ”

"Yes, that's why I hurriedly came to find you, brother Xian, didn't you bring a thousand soldiers when you entered the city, at this time, it just came in handy, gathered them all, ambushed near the Taishou Mansion, and when Gao Pei and Yang Huai came over with people to kill, they would give them a surprise attack, and they would definitely be caught off guard, and then take the opportunity to kill Gao Pei and Yang Huai, and then take the eldest prince to see the lord and expose Zhang Ren in person, the lord will know about it, and he will definitely punish Zhang Ren severely."

Leng Bao said: "My soldiers and horses are all arranged in the barracks, and the troops in the city are all under the control of Gao Pei and Yang Huai, if you want to transfer the soldiers and horses here, they will definitely be aware of it......"

Pang Xi asked, "What should I do then?" Then we can't sit still, can we? This time, Gao Pei and Yang Huai mobilized two hundred elites to deal with us......"

Leng Bud didn't pay attention for a while, frowning, but she was at a loss, and the room suddenly fell into silence.

Zhang Fei, who had been hiding behind the screen, completely heard the conversation between Leng Bao and Pang Xi, and Pang Xi's words also confirmed his previous guess, he secretly looked out, but seeing that Leng Bud had no idea, he didn't think about it, so he walked out directly from behind the screen, and said loudly: "In this case, it is better for us to attack first, gather all the soldiers and horses first, kill Gao Pei and Yang Huai, and then announce their crimes, the army is leaderless, and it is natural to surrender."
