There was another scuffle in the back: Liu Bi, the defender of the city, killed Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun and others, but was received by Liu Bei and Guan Yu and wanted to flee back to his own village; Zhang Ren drove out from the small road, led the victorious soldiers, and fought again.

Liu Beijun was ambushed and demoralized, and he could not resist it, but fortunately, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and other lord-level fierce generals were strong, and they personally broke off the rear and scattered the pursuers, so that Liu Bei could return to the camp safely.

Before Liu Bei could catch his breath, he saw Pang Tong being hit by three arrows, and his tears flowed in his eyes, and he hurriedly ordered the medical officer to diagnose and treat him.

Pang Tong coughed and said, "Lord, don't embarrass the medical officer. Today's calamity is the destiny of heaven...... It's all the retribution I got by relying on the art of prayer for personal gain. ”

Liu Bei was puzzled: "Why did the military advisor say this?" he waved his hand to withdraw left and right.

Pang Tong said: "Lord, do you know how Xiliang Ma Teng died?"

Liu Bei said: "This public case is inconclusive, some people say that it is Zhang Lu of Hanzhong, and some people say that it is Yuan Xi of Hebei, who used Daomen demon art to kill Ma Teng. ”

Pang Tong shook his head: "I did it." ”

Liu Bei was surprised and said, "Why is the military advisor like this?"

Pang Tong sighed and said:

"Lord, I was invited by Kong Ming to assist the lord, I wanted to help the lord rise in the troubled times and help the world;

"If he does nothing and leaves time for Yuan Xi to rectify his internal affairs, after he consolidates the north, he will inevitably go south to Jingzhou and unify the world. The great ambition of the lord and our wisdom will be useless.

"So, I took advantage of Ma Teng's injury to pray to the stars. Through two curse killings, Ma Teng died in Yedu, and at the same time, Xu Shu went to Hanzhong under a pseudonym to persuade Zhang Lu to give up Sanfu, and Jian Yong secretly went to Xiliang to plant the black cauldron on Yuan Xi's head, and then Ma Chao would use troops to the Central Plains to free up precious time for us. ”

Liu Bei was displeased and said: "The military advisor's move will inevitably hurt the peace of the heavens, and it is not the work of a gentleman!"

Pang Tong coughed repeatedly, and said with a hint of apology: "It is indeed the subordinates who advocate without authorization. Your lord, you are the Lord of Benevolence, and you cannot bear this stain. But if no one does this, Yuan Xi will really want to unify the world. ”

Liu Bei asked, "Does Kong Ming know about this matter?"

Pang Tong shook his head slowly: "Kong Ming is cautious and cautious whether he is giving advice or commanding troops, and he can be called a 'royal strategist'." He will definitely not agree to this kind of risky plan, and I can only do it. I didn't tell Kong Ming in advance, but with his cleverness, he must be able to guess one or two clues according to the development of later events. ”

Liu Bei sighed: "The military advisor did this for me. I didn't know it, but it was no different from what I did. The military advisor doesn't need to say much, take good care of his injuries, and the future will be long. ”

Then he blamed Zhao Yun: "What did I arrange for you to do? You must protect the army and the division well! But now ......."

Zhao Yun could only kneel on one knee, bowed his head and pleaded guilty: "The military advisor is injured, and my protection is not effective, but the lord has a punishment, Yun has nothing to say." ”

Pang Tong shook his head and said:

"My lord, I don't have to come to Japan. The art of praying is originally a technique of fortune that captures the heavens and creates the heavens, borrowing the creation from the heavens for their own personal gain; the more they take, the heavier the backlash will be. What's more, using heaven and earth to create harm to people is a big loss of life.

"After Ma Teng's death, I often couldn't sleep at night, and there were always phantoms of unjust souls asking for my life in front of me. Even if he hadn't been injured by an arrow today, he wouldn't have survived for ten years at most! Moreover, the Luofengpo he encountered today was really a doomed catastrophe from heaven, and he couldn't avoid it. The lord must not blame General Zilong for this, he has done his best. ”

After a pause, Pang Tong began to explain the aftermath.

"My lord, Yizhou is the foundation that our army must seize, and even if there are thousands of difficulties and dangers, we cannot give it up. Now the city is not difficult to break, and the lord only needs to do this, and he will definitely be able to conquer it. However, in the follow-up attack on Mianzhu and Chengdu, his subordinates could not help. However, Xu Shuzhi's talent is no less than mine, and the lord can use him as a military advisor to continue the great cause of Sichuan. ”

Pang Tong whispered in Liu Bei's ear and said the plan again.

Liu Bei had tears in his eyes, nodded and said, "I should remember the words of the military advisor from the bottom of my heart." ”

Pang Tong said: "Liu Zhang will not sit idly by, and will inevitably collude with Yuan Jun to cut off the return of our army." Jiameng Pass and Fushui Pass are the last retreat of our army, and the lord must send generals to guard them. ”

Liu Bei nodded repeatedly.

Pang Tong's mung bean's big eyes stared at the sky, as if he had seen some kind of illusion before he died. He struggled to raise his hand, scooped through the void, and finally fell into a slump.

The phoenix chick Pang Tong fell.

Liu Bei cried bitterly. Zhao Yun was also tearful, and his face was full of self-blame and guilt. The officers and men of the other three armies also hung their heads and remained silent.

Now the military advisor unfortunately died early, but the great plan to collect Sichuan cannot be stopped. Do you want to go to Jingzhou and ask Zhuge Junshi to come over?"

Now the only one who can persuade Liu Bei is Guan Yu.

Liu Bei suppressed his tears and said: "Zhuge military division guards the five county cities of Jingzhou, guarding against Sun Ce and Yuan Xi, and cannot be moved lightly. You can rest assured, before he died, Master Pang had already made a plan to break the city. ”

Liu Bei told Xu Shu about Pang Tong's deathbed plan.

Xu Shu nodded and said: "Shiyuan's dying plan is extremely feasible, and the lord can do it." ”

......

After the death of the military advisor Pang Tong, Liu Bei's three armies mourned with filial piety, and there was a rumor that they would withdraw to Fushui Pass.

When the generals of Luocheng heard this, they discussed: "If Liu Bei returns to Fushui Pass, he will develop morale and make a comeback, and it will not be easy to resist. It's better to take advantage of their return to their hearts like arrows and rob the village at night. If Liu Bei can be killed, then our army will no longer have to worry about the future. ”

That night, the generals of Yucheng each led an army and quietly dispatched to Liu Bei's camp.

After Bai Xiaowen found out, he took Li Shuyi and returned to Hanzhong.

"Don't you see it?" asked Li Shuyi.

Bai Xiaowen shook his head: "Don't look at it." The defender of Luocheng, Xiao Sheng, became a contemptuous enemy for a while, and completely forgot the terrible Liu Beijun. In this battle, Luocheng will inevitably fall, and then Liu Bei's troops can point to Mianzhu and threaten Chengdu. It has come to the time for our army to enter the market, and it cannot be delayed any longer. ”

Sure enough, Bai Xiaowen took Li Shuyi and returned to Nanzheng on the front foot, and the battle report of Yucheng on the back foot was sent by Tanma.

After the defenders of Ruocheng were lured out by Liu Bei, Liu Bei sent Guan Yu to attack and capture Luocheng and kill the defender Liu Xuan.

As for the three generals Ling Bao, Zhang Ren, and Wu Yi who went out of the city, they fell into an ambush. Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan were killed, Ling Bao was beheaded, and Zhang Ren and Wu Yi were captured.

As a result, Wu Yi surrendered, and Zhang Renning died unyieldingly and was beheaded by Liu Beijun.

Luocheng is in the hands of Liu Bei.

And Bai Xiaowen's army also sent troops from Nanzheng, passed through Bazhong, and went all the way to Jiameng Pass, officially joining the war for Xichuan!
