664 Guanghan Taishou

Zhang Fei, Yan Yan, Leng Bao, Peng Tuo and others, today can be regarded as a big bargain, originally planned to come to attack Zhang Wei's camp, but Zhang Wei's camp suddenly burst into a nameless fire, and with the help of the wind, the fire became bigger and bigger, and it became out of control, and countless small flames condensed into several huge fire dragons, which were opening their big mouths and devouring the surrounding qi qi with their ruthless tongue of fire.

For a time, the fire on the edge of the water in the Western Han Dynasty was soaring, and the surrounding area was like daylight, and the soldiers of Zhang Lujun in the camp rushed out, thinking that they had escaped a catastrophe, but who would have thought that they had already encountered Zhang Fei's subordinates who had been ambushed in all directions, and they were immediately overwhelmed by the attack, and there were countless casualties.

Baishuiguan and Zhang Wei's camp are only separated by a river, and Zhang Wei's camp is full of fire, and the Baishuiguan is the same as during the day. Not only that, but the soldiers in Baishui Pass saw a group of troops who suddenly attacked, and from a distance, it turned out to be the Sichuan army.

The guards of Baishui Pass were Zhang Wei's loyal subordinates, and when they saw this situation, they couldn't bear it anymore and hurriedly gathered all the troops in the city to cross the river to rescue Zhang Wei.

However, as soon as Zhang Lu's army in Baishui Pass came out of the city gate, it was immediately attacked by an enemy of unknown origin on the bank of the river.

After killing Zhang Lu's army, the group immediately rushed to Baishui Pass, and then rushed to the dungeon and personally released all the captives.

And the person who leads this army is none other than that. It is the Fazheng.

Fa Zheng formulated a strategy to attack the east and the west. On the one hand, let Zhang Fei, Yan Yan, Leng Bao, Peng Tuo and others lead a large army to attack Zhang Wei's camp. In order to attract the troops in Baishui Pass, on the other hand, Fa Zheng took a thousand elite soldiers carefully selected from the army, ambushed on the road from Baishui Pass to the Western Han River, once Baishui Pass went to the rescue, then they were halfway to rob and kill, and strive to completely annihilate the enemy, and then go to rescue the prisoners in Baishui Pass.

The plan is set like this. It's a pity that during the specific implementation, there was a little problem, and Zhang Wei's military camp suddenly caught fire, which Fa Zheng never expected. However, in this way, not only did it not have any impact on the entire plan of Fazheng, but on the contrary, it played a role in fueling the fire.

Perhaps, tonight is destined to be a victorious night, and it is God who favors Zhang Fei. So that everything goes well for him.

There were more than 100 captives in Baishui Pass, and Fa Zheng asked people to bring all the captives to his side. The sharp gaze glanced at it, and soon its gaze rested on a fair-skinned, young boy.

Fa Zheng walked straight to the young man's side and asked straight to the point, "You are Liu Xun, right?" ”

The young man was a little timid, and his body began to tremble, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, my name is not Liu Xun, you have recognized the wrong person, my name is Zhao An." ”

Fa Zheng smiled and said: "Childe, you don't have to be afraid, I'm here to save you, not to harm you......"

The young man was stunned for a moment, but still maintained a high level of vigilance, and said loudly: "I don't know what you're talking about, I'm not the one you're looking for." ”

"Childe, I said it, you don't have to be afraid, I'm really here to save you." Fa Zheng Dao.

The young man saw that Fa Zheng's face was serious, and it didn't look like he was lying, so he noticed that the soldiers around him were all dressed in the army of the Sichuan army, which was completely different from Zhang Lu's army. So, the young man asked tremblingly, "...... you Are you really here to save me, not to kill me? ”

"Don't worry, Childe, if we were to kill you, would you still stand here and talk to me?" Fa Zheng Dao.

Liu Xun thought about it, and felt that this was indeed the case, so he breathed a sigh of relief, in the past two days, he had been worried, and his heart was hanging in his throat, for fear that Zhang Lu's army would discover his true identity. Originally, his true identity was almost discovered, but fortunately, an entourage of his side stepped forward and led him away from danger, so that he escaped.

However, his entourage died because of this, and most of the captives held here were Leng Bao's subordinates, and they also formed a sense of protection, so even if they knew that Liu Xun was among them, they were reluctant to point out who Liu Xun was, and some even went to impersonate them in order to lead away the danger.

"What's your name?" Liu Xun suddenly opened his mouth and asked Fa Zheng.

"My name is Fazheng, and my word is filial piety." Fa Zheng replied.

Liu Xundao: "I'm hungry, can you prepare something for me to eat?" I haven't eaten in two days. ”

Fa Zheng said with a smile: "This is natural, how can you make Gongzi hungry." Childe, please go back to Jiamengguan with me, I will definitely treat you well. ”

After speaking, Fa Zheng asked people to prepare boats and take Liu Xun to cross the river, and let the screams on the banks of the Western Han River continue, and he didn't care. Because he knew that Zhang Fei and the others would definitely not let him down, such a good opportunity was also the moment to hit Zhang Lu's army hard.

Fa Zheng's guess is not wrong at all, Zhang Fei, Yan Yan, Leng Bao, Peng Tuo and others, each with a team of soldiers and horses, from all directions to the center to kill the past, as long as they see Zhang Lu's army, they will kill, those rumored to know the demon army soldiers, at all did not have time to cast any witchcraft, they have already become the soul of Zhang Fei and others, what beans into soldiers, what invulnerability, what copper body and iron arms, all of them have become a bubble at this time, some are just corpses all over the field, ghosts crying wolves, and blood splashing everywhere.

Zhang Fei and the others killed for more than an hour, but did not encounter a single person to resist, when the enemy soldiers who escaped from the fire cave learned that they were surrounded, not only did not run, but sat down quietly, chanting some scriptures in their mouths, and let the enemy slash and kill them. Some will even throw themselves back into the fire, allowing themselves to be burned to death, rather than being in a different place.

More than an hour later, the fire on the edge of the Han River was still burning, although not as vigorous as before. But the fire was not extinguished. And the ground became a blood-red land. The corpses were scattered all over the place, and the blood flowed and gathered together, forming pieces of blood-colored mire, and there was a disgusting smell of blood everywhere, which was very strong and lingered for a long time.

There is no doubt that the victory in this battle belongs to Zhang Fei's entire legion, the previously rumored divine Zhang Lujun. It turned out to be so vulnerable, which couldn't help but make Zhang Fei feel a little ridiculous. What kind of ghost army, it's just rumors.

"Lord Qiqi, the battlefield has been roughly counted, tonight our army killed about 5,700 enemy soldiers, and more than 3,000 people were killed by the fire, and the remaining more than 1,000 people fled, and did not see the corpse of the ghost king Zhang Wei, probably escaped." Leng Bud walked to Zhang Fei's side and reported the results of his subordinates who had just finished counting.

Zhang Fei nodded with satisfaction. "What are the casualties of our army?" ”

Leng Bao smiled: "In this case, if our army has more casualties." Then we're too useless. So far, not a single person in our army has been killed, but more than a dozen soldiers have been slightly injured and are fine. ”

"That's good, after this battle, presumably Zhang Lujun will be somewhat restrained. Everyone also worked hard, leaving some people to clean up the battlefield and burn the corpses, and the rest of the people all returned to Jiameng Pass. Zhang Fei said.

"Whoa!"

In the battle last night, not only severely damaged Zhang Lu's army, but also successfully rescued Liu Zhang's son, Liu Xun.

However, what puzzled Zhang Fei was why Fa Zheng had to save Liu Xun. Since he rebelled against Liu Zhang, why did he save Liu Zhang's son.

Fa Zheng just smiled and said to Zhang Fei: "The lord will understand in the future." ”

As soon as the words fell, Yan Yan said: "Lord, military division, now that Zhang Lujun has retreated, our army has no worries, as the so-called soldiers are fast, it is better to send troops to attack Chengdu as soon as possible." ”

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "You have to fight, but how to fight, you have to obey the arrangement of the military advisor." ”

Fa Zhengdao: "Actually, I have already thought of the plan, and I can implement it at any time. Moreover, what General Yan said is that the soldiers are very fast, if you don't take Zitong quickly, once the enemy is aware of it and sets up layers of passes, it will take a lot of effort to attack. ”

Zhang Fei hurriedly asked Fa Zheng for his strategy: "Strategist, don't sell it, hurry up and tell me your strategy!" ”

Fa Zheng was about to reveal his own plan and discernment, and Zhang Fei, Yan Yan, Leng Bao, Peng Tuo and others all felt very wonderful after hearing it. He is also full of praise for Fazheng's strategy.

Zhang Fei said: "The military advisor deserves to be a military advisor, and only the military advisor can come up with such a strategy." Then follow the strategy of the military advisor and act quickly! ”

Fa Zheng's strategy for Zhang Fei is indeed very ingenious, they have just saved Liu Xun, and Leng Bao's surrender is also something that very few people know, Fa Zheng is using Liu Xun and Leng Bud to make a big fuss.

According to Fa Zheng's meaning, Zhang Fei left Baishui County with Yan Yan, Leng Bao, Peng Tuo and other elite soldiers, Leng Bao was the governor of Baishui, and all the soldiers and horses under his jurisdiction were also obedient, but when attacking Chengdu, Leng Bao did not take away all the soldiers and horses, but only took away his own personal soldiers and horses, and the rest of the soldiers and horses remained in place and continued to defend the pass, so as not to cause any mistakes.

In addition, Fa Zheng asked Leng Bao to take the soldiers and horses all the way to Luocheng in the name of escorting Liu Xun, preparing to send Liu Xun to Luocheng, which is where Liu Xun's father-in-law Pang Xi is. Then he took the opportunity to persuade Pang Xi to return to obedience and rebel against Liu Zhang.

In fact, Pang Xi was also a member of the Dongzhou soldiers before, but later he was spared because he saw the opportunity and followed Liu Yan closely. Not only that, Pang Xi also set a baby with Liu Yan, and married his daughter Xu to Liu Zhang's son Liu Xun as his wife, which ensured Pang Xi's status even more, so when the Dongzhou soldiers were in turmoil, Pang Xi was not affected much, on the contrary, Pang Xi's official fortune became more and more prosperous.

Pang Xi is the Taishou of Guanghan, Liu Zhang's in-laws, and the father-in-law of Liu Zhang's eldest son Liu Xun, so using Liu Xun as a shield is the best move.

However, Liu Xun was completely unaware of this qiē, and was still immersed in the joy of going home.

Along the way, Leng Bud nominally escorted Liu Xun, and everywhere he went, the county commanders would treat him warmly, but when Leng Bud was sent away the next day, it would become a disaster for them.

Zhang Fei led the army and suddenly killed, and the defenders were caught off guard, plus there were fewer troops. It was simply impossible to resist Zhang Fei's army. It was captured in an instant. Followed by. No matter how good Yan Yan is, those who are willing to submit will continue to be officials, and those who are unwilling to submit will not be forced to stay, and they will be released after their major affairs are completed.

In this way, Zhang Fei quietly captured Zitong, Fuxian, Mianzhu, and Shifang counties one after another along the way, and headed towards the destination of Luocheng.

Luocheng is the county seat of Guanghan County. It is also the largest city in Guanghan County, with a large population in the city, which is the only place to pass through to Chengdu and is also an important military town.

As the gateway to Chengdu, the city was built very grandly, and there were many soldiers and horses stationed here, as many as 20,000 people.

This shows the importance of the city to Chengdu.

Therefore, the Taishou of Yucheng and the selection of the generals of the garrison have been very cautious.

Pang Xi and Liu Zhang are in-laws. Therefore, it can be regarded as a person close to Liu Zhang, and Pang Xi is usually very active. actively flattered Liu Zhang, so when considering the position of Guanghan Taishou, Pang Xi was one of the candidates.

In addition, Liu Zhang left a heavy guard in the city, and handed over two generals he trusted, one named Gao Pei and the other named Yang Huai, and appointed both of them as governors, responsible for military and local security.

Therefore, Yucheng is a special city with the separation of military and government, as a taishou, Pang Xi only enjoys the basic power to govern the place, once it involves the affairs of the army, he will not be able to speak, then you need to consult Gao Pei and Yang Huai.

Fa Zheng, Yan Yan, and Leng Bao all know this very well, so in Fa Zheng's plan, there is also a plan to kill Gao Pei and Yang Huai, Liu Zhang's loyal lackeys.

Only in this way can Zhang Fei's army take the city without blood, and then coerce Chengdu to force Liu Zhang to surrender.

……

Guanghan County, Luocheng.

In the Taishou Mansion, Guanghan Taishou Pang Xi had already asked the family and his subordinates to wait for Liu Xun's arrival.

These days are very different days for Pang Xi, just the day before yesterday, he received a letter, the letter was written by Leng Bao, Leng Bao said on the letter, Liu Xun because of playfulness, ran to Baishui Pass, but happened to encounter Zhang Lu's army attack, but was surrounded in Baishui Pass, became a prisoner.

That day, Pang Xi's mood was really bad, if Liu Xun had three longs and two shorts, his daughter would not only have to be widowed, once Liu Zhang was guilty, how should he answer?

For this reason, Pang Xi personally went to find Gao Pei and Yang Huai, who were in charge of the military, hoping that they could send troops to help Leng Bud and assist Leng Bud in rescuing his son Liu Xun.

Gao Pei and Yang Huai are Liu Zhang's confidants and favorite generals, as soon as they heard that Liu Xun had something, they were immediately anxious, and they were about to set off with all their soldiers and horses.

But in the end, there was something wrong because of the problem of grain and grass scheduling, and the troops could not be sent for the time being, so the two of them jointly wrote a letter and sent someone to Leng Bud to put pressure on Leng Bud.

Who knows, just one day later, Leng Bao sent a letter over, saying that Liu Xun had been rescued, and even Zhang Lu's army had been severely damaged, and Zhang Wei was injured and led the remnants back to Hanzhong. In addition, Leng Bud also showed that Liu Xun was escorted by him this time.

Because of this, Pang Xi put on the lights, decorated his mansion well, and instructed the kitchen to prepare a banquet to welcome the distinguished guests.

On this day, Pang Xi was putting up lights under the supervision of the people in the house, and suddenly a person ran to Pang Xi's side and said: "Lord Taishou, the son is about to arrive, and it is less than five miles away from here." ”

Pang Xi hurriedly said: "Prepare the horse quickly, I will go to the city gate to welcome the arrival of the son." ”

As soon as the words fell, Pang Xi strode out of the room, rode the horses that the family had brought out of the stables, jumped on the horses, and galloped towards the city gate.

When Pang Xi came to the city gate, he asked the soldiers guarding the city gate to stand in line, which gave Liu Xun a deep impression and made Liu Xun realize that he had gone home.

But the trouble is that these soldiers guarding the city do not obey Pang Xi's command, no matter how Pang Xi speaks there, these soldiers are motionless.

Pang Xi was not lightly angry, and said angrily: "I am the Taishou of this county, and you don't even listen to me?" Aren't you afraid that I will sue you governors? ”

One of them replied, "Lord Taishou, we are the soldiers of the Gao Du Governor and the Yang Du Dudu, and we only obey the lord except their commands, and you are neither our governor nor our lord, so why should we listen to you?" ”

Pang Xi said: "Okay! Good! Okay very! I can't command you, right, then I'll call someone who can command you, and then I'll see how you kneel before Ben Taishou and beg for mercy. ”

As soon as the words fell, Pang Xi sent someone to invite Gao Pei and Yang Huai to the city gate, and he sent someone to the government to mobilize the government officials, and hurried to the city gate to make arrangements.

Pang Xi's entourage was divided into two ways, and they all did according to Pang Xi's instructions, and after a while, Gao Pei and Yang Huai both rode high-headed horses, and each came to the city gate with a few personal cavalry, but when they saw Pang Xi standing there with an angry face, they didn't look at them.

Gao Pei and Yang Huai glanced at each other, they only heard the person sent by Pang Xi say that they were going to evaluate the theory, but they didn't know what was going on, so the two came to Pang Xi's side, turned over and jumped off the horse, and then bowed his hand to Pang Xi respectfully: "Pang Taishou is so anxious to see the two of us, I don't know if there is anything urgent?" ”

Pang Xi snorted coldly, and said in a strange manner: "You are the governor appointed by the lord himself, responsible for the military of the governor of the city, originally we were well water and did not interfere with the river water, and over the years, we have been getting along with each other peacefully, and it can be regarded as very harmonious. ”

After Gao Pei and Yang Huai looked at each other, they asked together, "Pang Taishou, what happened?" ”

"What's the matter? Hum! Ask your men! Pang Xi was very angry and pointed at the person who resisted him and said.

Gao Pei and Yang Huai hurriedly walked to the person's side and asked him some ins and outs, only then did they learn what kind of sullenness Pang Xi was having.

In the eyes of Gao Pei and Yang Huai, what his subordinates did was not wrong, although Pang Xi was a Taishou, he had no right to intervene in the affairs of the army. But even if they knew it in their hearts, they didn't dare to say it to their faces, and this soldier actually said it without holding back, which really deserved to be punished severely. Otherwise, it would destroy the peace between him and Pang Xi. You must know that Pang Xi's daughter is Liu Xun's wife, and Liu Xun is Liu Zhang's eldest son, according to the order of eldest and youngest, once Liu Zhang dies, then Liu Xun will naturally inherit Liu Zhang's position. At that time, Pang Xi, who is Liu Xun's father-in-law, will naturally have a higher status. If you can't get along with Pang Xi, you can't get along with yourself, and you can't get along with your future.

Therefore, Gao Pei and Yang Huai must come up with a good solution to solve it, which can not only dispel Pang Xi's anger, but also not hurt the harmony.

After thinking about it, Gao Pei finally came up with a solution, only to see that he shook his hand and slapped the soldier's face, and because of the excessive force, the soldier's face was swollen.

The soldier's face was burning with pain, and before he could react to what was going on, he heard Gao Pei reprimand angrily: "You are so bold, you dare to talk to Pang Taishou like this!" I'll hand you over to Pang Taishou right now, and I'll leave you at his disposal!" (To be continued......)
