Chapter 142: Pang Xi's Rebellion
Ding Feng has a unique skill, that is, flying stones. Friends who have watched "Water Margin" must know that Zhang Qing is powerful without feather arrows. I wonder if Mr. Shi Nai'an created the character of Zhang Qing based on Ding Feng.
The flying stone took off his hand and smashed at Shiwu with the sound of the wind, only to hear the sound of "dangchang", Shiwu shook his body and fell off the horse. Although Shiwu had an iron helmet on his head, he couldn't stand the violent impact. A group of guards saw Shiwu fall off the horse and galloped to the rescue, Ding Feng beat the horse forward, killed the guards, and rushed straight to Shiwu. Shiwu didn't die, but he was so frightened that he shouted: "Help! ”
Shi Yi saw it and came to the rescue in person. The Jiaozhou soldiers did not have the command of the commander, and the formation was chaotic, so they were broken through by the Han army and penetrated through the formation. Ding Feng saw Shi Yi, took off his hand and hit two stones, Shi Yi dodged one, the second one really couldn't dodge, and hit the heart goggle with a loud bang, smashing the heart goggle, Shi Yi only felt a tightness in his chest, and opened his mouth to spit blood.
Ding Feng wounded two of the enemy's main generals, and the morale of the Han army was greatly increased, while the Jiaozhou army was on the verge of collapse. Shiwu was still trampling on the ground, and the guards beside him came over and put him on horseback, Ding Feng caught a glimpse, and another stone flew over, hitting Shiwu's heart, Shiwu screamed, and fled in the saddle. Seeing the bravery of the Han army, Shi Yi ordered the army to retreat.
Xu Huang saw the enemy's Chinese army from afar, riding a purple horse, wielding an iron plate axe, and killing the Chinese army alone. Where Xu Huang passed, he chopped through the waves, fought a bloody way, and came to Daxu. The soldier guarding the flag was frightened by Xu Huang's murderous aura, Xu Huang waved the board axe, broke the big sword into two, and didn't look at the soldier, urging the horse to run towards Shi Yi. Shi Yi only felt that he hadn't looked at the yellow calendar today, why did the two generals of the Han army attack him? Shi Yi didn't dare to stay, whipped the war horse fiercely, and fled in embarrassment.
The retreat of the Jiaozhou army could not stabilize its position and was intercepted by the Han army. Xu Huang saw Shi Yi fleeing, chased after him, stretched his bow and arrows on the horse, and shot an arrow at Sergeant Yi's back. Shi Yi only felt a sharp pain in his back, blood continued to flow out, the scene in front of him became more and more blurred, and his hands and feet gradually became sore, and he fell into the dust. Shiwu couldn't stand it either, relying on the war horse, he gradually broke away from the battlefield, and was escorted by his own guards to Hepu County.
Gan Ning's warship passed through the Qiongzhou Strait, entered the Beibu Gulf, saw that it was about to reach the coast, put down the boat, sent hundreds of soldiers to investigate the water situation, and chose to board 6 places.
The adjutant general looked at the map and said, "General, if you march from the mouth of the Red River and go straight to Ding'an, you have to settle down first, and then the army will slowly unfold?" ”
Gan Ning said: "I also thought about marching from the mouth of the Red River, but I didn't know the hydrology, so I rushed in, in case I couldn't advance, it would be in vain and delay. ”
The adjutant general said with a smile: "The Jiaozhou army is exhausted, and Shixie never imagined that our army would attack from the sea." ”
Gan Ning said: "Don't underestimate Shixie, the Shijia has been operating in Jiaozhou for several generations, and has won the hearts of the people. ”
The deputy general didn't dare to say anything, Gan Ning looked at the generals under his command and said: "This battle is precious in the word 'disease', and when the brothers find out the situation and return, we will travel lightly and quickly, go straight to the dragon weaving, first take down the old boy Shixie, and then sweep away the remnants of the Shi family one by one, so that Jiaozhou will truly return to my Han territory." ”
Pang Xi's small movements, Zhuge Liang had already seen it in his eyes and arranged it secretly. Pang Xi has been in Shu County for many years, and his descendants are naturally also in Shu County. The western part of Shu County belongs to the territory of the Qiang people, and the Qiang people such as Daqi, Longqiao, and Boshen have lived here for generations (belonging to the vicinity of the current Jinchuan and Aba areas). Pang Xi's subordinates contacted the clans of Shu County, and after finalizing it, they went to the territory of the Qiang people to contact the Qiang people. The Qiang people publicly promoted the burning of Dangqiang's Midang as the king of Qiang, but the distance between the Qiang and Midang's territory was too far away, and Midang's order had been discounted a lot.
The people sent by Pang Xi were very familiar with the Qiang people, familiar with the habits of the Qiang people, and spoke fluent Qiang dialect. The big man Zhandui, a tall and thin man in his forties, smiled and met Pang Xi's people.
Pang Xi's cronie is named Zhang Jia, and when he saw the person who occupied the pile, he immediately gave a big hug and said loudly in Qiang: "The people who occupy the head of the pile are good-looking, and it seems that the water of the Malke River is sweet and nourishing." ”
Zhan Dui looked at Zhang Jia and said, "Since Master Pang Xi came to Chengdu to take up an important position, I haven't seen Brother Zhang Jia for a long time. ”
Zhang Jia said: "The head man laughed, the huge man arrived in Chengdu to take up an important position, and he was simply in a cage." ”
Zhandui shook his head and said: "Chengdu is the Yizhou Mansion, and when a huge number of people come to Chengdu, it is a sparrow that flies up to the high branch and becomes a phoenix." ”
Zhang Jia said: "The head person doesn't know, Master Pang Xi has been in Yizhou for a long time, and his prestige is extremely high, and the newcomer to Yizhou is afraid that he can't control the situation in Yizhou, so he keeps a huge number of people by his side." On the surface, he was given a high position, but in fact, he rose and fell secretly, and the huge man was deprived of his power and became an idler. ”
Zhan Dui said in surprise: "Master Pang Xi is so powerful, how can he be willing to be subservient? ”
"Alas, the situation is not as good as people, what can be done?"
Zhan Dui sighed and said: "Lord Pang Xi has been in Shu County for many years, and he gets along very well with our Qiang people. The Qiang land was hit by a disaster, and Lord Pang Xi helped us a lot. It's a pity, a good man. ”
Zhang Jia took the opportunity to say: "The huge people intend to drive away the Han army and occupy Yizhou as the king, as long as the head man sends troops to help, he will definitely be grateful to the head man at that time, and the benefits of the head man are indispensable." ”
Zhan Dui shook his head and said, "Brother Zhang Jia, you're not telling a joke, are you?" Han Sui has been entrenched in Liangzhou for more than 20 years, how many people are under him? None of them were opponents of the Han army. How dare a huge man confront the Han army? ”
Zhang Jia said: "Don't hide it from the head, the big families in Shu County have promised to help, and they can get 50,000 people, and the heads of Longqiao and Boshen have already agreed that they will send 30,000 troops to help, as long as the head people send another 20,000 troops here, it will be 100,000 troops." The huge people also let people go to the Guanghan vassal country and the Shu county vassal country to mobilize people, and from the brother's point of view, how can they get an army of 50,000. The Han army is in Yizhou, but there are only 100,000, and 150,000 against 100,000 people, do you think it is feasible? ”
Zhan Dui is not so stupid, you will come out with 150,000 people with one mouth, who will lead it? Besides, Zhuge Thorn Shi sent people to his place to discuss the selection of Qiang people to form a flying army, and because of the favorable conditions, he agreed on the spot. Although you Pang Xi has been in Yizhou for many years, with the little resources you have at hand, it is estimated that even Liu Zhang can't fight, and you have to be the enemy of the Han army, isn't this what the Han people often say. Zhandui decided to stabilize Zhang Jia first, and then explore the situation on Longqiao and Bo Shen's side.
Zhang Jia saw Zhandui groaning, knowing that he was swaying, so he said: "Touren, if it succeeds, the huge man decides to cede Shu County to the Touren." If the head man does not send troops to help, you also know the character of the huge man. ”
Zhan Dui smiled, "Brother Zhang Jia, it's hard work from afar, it's a big matter, I can't be the master alone, come on, let's drink first, and then make a decision after I discuss it with my clansmen." ”
Zhang Jia had no choice but to follow the arrangement. Zhandui took a break, found a few cronies, and ordered them to rush to the territory of Longqiao and Boshenqiang, find the leader, and ask if they agreed to send troops to assist Pang Xi. Seeing that the leader had a gloomy face, the cronies knew that the matter was urgent, and hurried away.
Zhandui has a small banquet every day, a big banquet every three days, and gets Zhang Jia drunk every day, and sends a few Qiang beauties at night, which makes Zhang Jia happy.
Five days later, Zhandui received accurate news that Zhang Jia had never been to Longqiao and Bo Shen at all, so he couldn't help but be furious, and immediately turned his face and tied up Zhang Jia.
Zhang Jia was suddenly beaten from heaven to hell, he didn't know what the problem was, he looked at Zhandui nervously, and opened his mouth to shout: "Zhandui, why do you do this to me?" ”
Zhandui sneered: "I treat you as a brother in vain, and you actually deceive me?!" We Qiang people are not as treacherous as you Han people, you have never been to Longqiao, Bo Shen territory, why lie to me that they promised to send troops? ”
Zhang Jia originally wanted to fool Zhandui and ask him to agree to send troops, and then go to fool the head of Longqiao and Bo Shen, but he didn't expect that this person in Zhandui was as cunning as a ghost, and he actually sent someone to confirm the matter. The matter was already clear, and Zhang Jia's brain teased quickly, "Touren, the huge man has not only sent me alone as an envoy, maybe other envoys have already arrived in the territory of Longqiao and Boshen." ”
Zhandui said: "Until now, are you still trustworthy? Brother Zhang Jia, the past friendship between you and me has been severed ever since. We Qiang people are like mountains, and you and I will meet in the future, like passers-by. ”
Zhang Jia was overjoyed in his heart, it seemed that his life was temporarily saved, but Zhandui continued: "Since Zhuge Thorn Shi took office, he has been friendly to us Qiang people. There are few Qiang people and they can't stand on their own, but as long as the court treats us sincerely and treats us equally, we don't mind submitting to the court. Now that you are in my hands, I have no choice but to hand you over to Zhuge Thorn Shi to deal with. ”
Zhang Jia's heart is not good, if he falls into the hands of Zhuge Liang, even if he survives, it is estimated that he will have to peel off a few layers of skin, and said loudly at the moment: "Occupy the head of the pile, you and I have been friends for many years, like brothers, please look at God's face, let my brother go, don't hand me over to Zhuge Liang's puppet." ”
Zhan Dui said: "It was you who deceived the front, and the Snow Mountain God would only punish you, a villain, how could he punish me?" Come on, gather 300 people, Lao Tzu will personally lead the team and rush to Chengdu. ”
Pang Xi sent more than a dozen people, with little success, only more than 30 people promised to send troops to help, and the total number of troops was only 20,000. Pang Xi gritted his teeth and decided to try to get these people into Chengdu, suddenly move from the inside, and first catch Zhuge Liang, Wei Yan, Liu Zhen, these Han army brains. It's just that if something fails, where do you go? The territory of the Qiang people is too harsh, so do you choose there as your own way back? How about the country of Panyue, which is next to Yeongchang County? Pang Xi stared at the Panyue Kingdom, the road was too far. Pang Xi sighed, the arrow is on the string, I have to, take one step at a time.
