666 had a bad heart
On the official road outside the city, an army slowly drove into everyone's sight, and the first person was Leng Bao, the governor of Baishui, but seeing him wearing armor, riding a tall horse, carrying a big knife in his hand, and shooting a fierce gaze in his eyes, it was enough to make people tremble.
And behind Leng Bao, there are also all cavalry, they are all wearing uniform clothing, but it is not the military uniform of the Sichuan army, but the Qiang uniform.
Most of the soldiers under Leng Bao's tent are Qiang people, and the Qiang people are brave and good at fighting, and the people are fierce, and they have gradually become the main force of Leng Bao's department. And Leng Bao's four capable generals are all Qiang people without exception.
However, although the White Water Army has strong combat effectiveness, its status is quite low, if it weren't for Leng Bao closely following Zhang Ren's steps, he would have been replaced by others long ago.
In the entire Sichuan military system, the native Yizhou people are the best soldiers, followed by the Dongzhou soldiers who fled from other places to Yizhou, and the minority soldiers are the lowest status.
No matter how hard the Qiang soldiers try to kill the enemy, no matter how brave they are, they will not be reused in Yizhou, because the Yizhou people have been influenced by Han culture all the year round, and have formed a strict and orthodox idea of taking Han people as their own.
However, when Leng Bao served as the governor of the White Water Army, the situation changed dramatically, in Leng Bao's eyes, the Qiang people and the Han people are the same, he neither oppressed the Qiang people, nor beat and scolded the Qiang people, on the contrary, they treated the Qiang people and the Han people equally, after the Qiang people made meritorious contributions, they were also rewarded like the Han people, but if they violated military discipline, they were also punished strictly.
So. Leng Bud is in the Whitewater Army, an army with complex troops. He was very loved by the soldiers. The soldiers were also very willing to die for him. It is precisely because of this that Leng Bao gradually gained a firm foothold in the entire Sichuan military system and became a generation of famous generals.
Leng Bao walked at the front of the team, and behind him were all cavalry, and Liu Xun was mixed in with these cavalry, disguised as one of the cavalrymen, the purpose was to hide from the world, and he was afraid that he would cause some trouble.
In fact. Liu Xun was not the only one hiding among these cavalrymen, even Zhang Fei and Peng Tuo also pretended to be Qiang people and infiltrated here, so it is needless to say that their purpose is needless to say.
Pang Xi stood at the gate of the city, looking at Leng Bao and the others from afar, he was elated, and he led people to greet him, even if Gao Pei and Yang Huai were unwilling, at this time, they didn't dare to come out. But the most in the hearts of the two people are questions, as well as extreme distrust of Zhang Ren.
Leng Bud and Pang Xi met each other. The entourage behind him all stopped, and Leng Bud reined in the horses. jumped off the horse, walked straight to Pang Xi, and said respectfully: "I've seen Pang Taishou!" ”
In the Han Dynasty, the official position of Taishou was equivalent to the administrative, military and judicial governor of a place, who was in charge of everything and had great power, even Leng Bao was the governor of Baishui, who controlled the first army, and even Gao Pei and Yang Huai, whose official positions were lower than Pang Xi.
Therefore, after Leng Bao saw Pang Xi, he also had to give up three points.
Pang Xi knew Leng Bao, and the reason why he was able to become the Taishou of Guanghan was also thanks to Leng Bao's recommendation. At the beginning, when Liu Zhang was electing Guanghan to be too punctual, Leng Bao and Pang Xi were both candidates. At that time, Zhang Ren strongly recommended Leng Bao to take the position of Taishou, but who would have thought that Leng Bud would decisively refuse this fat shortage, let go of the position of Guanghan Taishou, and instead recommended Pang Xi.
In this way, Pang Xi became the only candidate, and Guanghan Taishou naturally fell on Pang Xi.
Therefore, Pang Xi saw Leng Bao, and he was more or less grateful, and the two met again, like old friends who had not seen each other for many years, although they had few words, they could see the friendship between the two people.
Pang Xi hurriedly said: "Leng Dudu, what else is there to be polite between you and me?" By the way, why don't you see the eldest son? ”
Leng Bao said: "In order to ensure the safety of the eldest prince along the way, I asked the eldest prince to wear the clothes of ordinary soldiers, so that there is no such a big goal, and we can arrive here safely." Pang Taishou, don't worry, I'll let someone bring the eldest prince out and let you meet. ”
As soon as the words fell, Leng Bud turned around and said a few words to the soldier behind him, the soldier nodded, turned around and walked towards the back of the team, and after a short while, the soldier returned, and a person appeared behind him.
Pang Xi looked fixedly, but saw that the person was very familiar, who else could it be if it wasn't the eldest prince Liu Xun. It's just that the eldest prince Liu Xun was wearing Qiang clothes, which was unrecognizable for a while, and almost made him tremble.
Liu Xun came to the front of the army, and when he saw Pang Xi standing in front of Leng Bao with someone, his face became smiling, and in surprise, he hurriedly shouted: "Father-in-law!" ”
Pang Xi is Liu Xun's father-in-law, this is an ironclad fact. However, because Liu Xun is Liu Zhang's son, he rarely calls Pang Xi's father-in-law in front of outsiders, and usually calls Pang Xi Pang Taishou, but only in private, he will call Pang Xi's father-in-law.
Now, in a hurry, Liu Xun called Pang Xi's father-in-law, and in front of so many people, he shouted that kindly, which made Pang Xi's heart feel extremely cordial.
Pang Xi's heart was already full of joy, seeing Liu Xun's depressed face, his eyes were already a little moist, and he hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Liu Xun in his arms, and then whispered in Liu Xun's ear: "Childe, there are many people here, and in front of so many people, Childe shouldn't be so weak, hurry up and put away your tears, so as not to be looked down upon." ”
Liu Xun has been pampered since he was a child, pampered, when has he ever encountered this kind of danger, this time he visited Baishui Pass, almost took his life, I am afraid that in his life experience, there will be an indelible shadow, it is estimated that when I think about it in the future, I will feel scared.
However, after Liu Xun heard Pang Xi say this, his heart calmed down, and he forcibly held back the tears that were about to fall from his eyes, and forcibly endured it again.
Leng Bao heard Pang Xi's whisper, and said in a timely manner: "Eldest prince, Pang Taishou, this is not the place to speak. Let's go into town and talk slowly. ”
Pang Xi looked at Leng Bud with grateful eyes. I think what Leng Bud said is really timely. Hurriedly said: "Look at my memory, when I saw the eldest prince, I was so excited that I almost forgot about it." No matter what happened before, in short, the eldest prince came back safely, which is a great thing. Go to the city, hurry up and get into the city! ”
Liu Xun, supported by Pang Xi, turned around and walked towards the city, followed by Leng Bao. also walked forward, and Gao Pei and Yang Huai also hurriedly caught up, walking side by side with Leng Bud, sandwiching Leng Bud in the middle.
Gao Pei walked side by side with Leng Bao and asked in a low voice, "Governor Leng Dudu, what the hell is going on, didn't General Zhang send someone to inform you about the eldest prince?" ”
Leng Bud was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "What are you talking about?" ”
Gao Pei seemed to notice something, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing......"
That being said, though. But Gao Pei and Yang Huai became more mysterious and blurred, and they even looked at each other's eyes. It's also so unpredictable, like guessing something.
Leng Bao is not a careful person, so he doesn't care so much, and now in his heart, he has been pretending to have other things, that is, how to persuade Pang Xi to resist Liu Zhang together.
A group of mermaids entered the city, but among these people, they all had their own ghosts, the banquet was held in the Taishou Mansion, Pang Xi personally set up a banquet to entertain, Liu Xungao sat in the top position, and drank vigorously, just to suppress the shock, and wanted to use wine to numb himself, forgetting the troubles and dangers he had encountered in the past two days.
But Liu Xun's alcohol consumption was not very good, so Liu Xun had not drunk a few glasses, he was already drunk, lying there reclining, and fell asleep.
Pang Xi naturally felt very sorry for his son-in-law, and hurriedly asked the housekeeper to help Liu Xun to the guest room to rest.
In the following time, Pang Xi was accompanied by Leng Bao, Gao Pei, Yang Huai and others. However, the banquet did not last too long, it ended hastily, and after Pang Xi sent Gao Pei and Yang Huai away, Leng Bud was arranged in the guest room, and all the soldiers and horses brought by Leng Bud were arranged in an idle military camp in the city.
After Gao Pei and Yang Huai left the Taishou Mansion, the two of them walked side by side on the way back to the barracks, and the two of them were full of questions along the way. Not only is Liu Xun still alive, but he is also alive and well, and he was sent back.
Isn't Baishui Governor Leng Bao Zhang Ren's subordinate? Why did it be Leng Bud who sent Liu Xun back? Could it be that Zhang Ren has other arrangements?
A series of questions plagued Gao Pei and Yang Huai, and their hearts were full of questions, but they couldn't find anyone to seek this inexplicable answer.
"This time, Zhang Ren's plan is to borrow a knife to kill people and want to get rid of the eldest son Liu Xun, but why is Liu Xun not only alive and well, but also rescued by Leng Bao?" Gao Pei rode a high-headed horse and walked side by side with Yang Huai, muttering as he walked.
Yang Huai shook his head vigorously and said, "I don't know this either!" ”
Gao Pei suddenly asked: "Zhang Ren has always been resourceful, this time there will be no such a fork, Zhang Ren asked us to lure the eldest prince to Baishui Pass, but now the eldest prince came back safe and sound, but he was a little frightened, you said that after the eldest prince is completely sober, will you remember that we guided him to Baishui Pass?" ”
Yang Huai slapped his thigh suddenly, and shouted with a sigh: "When you say this, I suddenly remembered a question, Zhang Ren said that he wanted to get rid of the eldest prince by borrowing a knife to kill people, but when you asked Leng Bud today, Leng Bud didn't seem to know about it at all, so it can be seen that Zhang Ren didn't strictly order Leng Bud not to rescue the eldest son." And now Leng Bud has rescued the eldest prince, and when he returns to Chengdu, it will be a great achievement in front of the lord, how do I think what Zhang Ren said about the plan to kill people with a knife is fake, in fact, he wants Leng Bud to win the battle with the help of this matter, so as to master more troops one step closer? ”
Gao Pei said: "It's not without reason. After all, the relationship between Leng Bud and Zhang Ren is extraordinary, and Leng Bud has always been a tiger general under Zhang Ren's account, if this is the case, wouldn't it be borrowing the two of us as stepping stones, and then secretly supporting Leng Bud? ”
Yang Huai couldn't help scolding: "Damn, I said a long time ago that Zhang Ren can't be taken lightly, you just don't listen, now it's okay, everything we do is equivalent to making a wedding dress for others." When the eldest prince returned to Chengdu, when the lord asked why the eldest prince went to Baishui Pass, the eldest prince told the two of us, so wouldn't we suffer? ”
"So what do you say you should do?" Gao Pei asked.
Yang Huai said: "Just don't do it twice, take this opportunity to kill the eldest prince, and then put all the blame on Leng Bao's body, even if Zhang Ren knows, there is no proof of death, and he can't check it if he wants to." ”
Gao Pei said: "This method is good. However, it is necessary to kill Pang Xi and Leng Bud together, so as to ensure that nothing goes wrong. ”
After the two of them finished discussing, they looked at each other and smiled, and a strange smile appeared on their faces...... (To be continued......)
