Luo County is the county of Guanghan County, Mianzhu, Fu County and even the three passes of Baishui $ Meng and Zitong that were occupied before belong to Guanghan County, and now the three passes have been broken, and Mianzhu Pass has also been fought by Ye Zhao, the news has been transmitted to the Shu army, the original natural danger was so easily broken by Ye Zhao, and it also shook Shu up and down, Liu Yan ordered Pang Xi to lead the army to rush to Luo County to defend against the enemy, and ordered people to invite Qingqiang.

When Liu Yan entered Shu, there were not many soldiers and horses in his hands, and most of the Shu troops under his command were controlled by Jia Long and other powerful people in Shu, so as not to be overhead, Liu Zhang married a good Qiang Yue, this Qingqiang is a very powerful Qiang tribe in Yizhou, good at mountain warfare, and the leader A Qinggu is a rare fierce general in the Qiang people.

After the status was stabilized, Ah Qinggu did not learn the customs of the Han people and returned to the mountains and forests with his clansmen, but Liu Yan did not cross the river and demolish the bridge, communicated with Qingqiang, and even helped Qingqiang out of the mountains step by step, and specially divided a county for Qingqiang to live, and because of this, it was quite supported by Qingqiang.

It was precisely because of Qingqiang by his side that Liu Yan dared to release his military power to Zhang Lu.

After the arrangements were made, Liu Yan ordered someone to take a detour to find Zhang Lu, wanting Zhang Lu to cut off Ye Zhao's back road.

Liu Yan's reaction could not be unpleasant, when Wu Yi sent someone to summon the interrogation, the Chengdu garrison was sent to Luo County to garrison, but Rao was so, when Pang Xi hurried day and night, arrived at Luo County, Ye Zhao's army had already arrived in Luo County, and there were not too many soldiers and horses stationed in the county along the way.

Ruoxian is a county rule, but it is not dangerous, and it is not as easy to defend and difficult to attack as Mianzhu Pass, but since Liu Yan has stationed his army here, it is impossible for Ye Zhao to bypass Ruoxian to fight Chengdu, otherwise he will be attacked by people from front to back.

"General, the thief general Ye Zhao is calling for battle outside the city, inviting the general to catch up." After resting for a night, Pang Xi's spirits improved a lot, and when he was washing, he saw a county guard come in and bowed down.

"Ye Zhao?" Pang Xi smiled disdainfully when he heard this: "A good family, reminiscing? What qualifications does he have? Guard the city, and ignore him! ”

Pang Xi in the past, is the middle of the court, after the princes to discuss Dong, Pang Xi had colluded with Ma Teng, wanted to take advantage of Dong Zhuo's foothold in Chang'an when the foothold was not stable to take Chang'an in his hands, after the defeat, with Liu Yan's grandson ran to Chengdu to run, the official did not have Ye Zhaogao, but he is the Luoyang Wang clan, in the Han Dynasty has not been as decayed as now, the Luoyang Wang clan in Shilin is not small, Ye Zhao for the Luoyang order, more than once punished the children of the Pang family, Pang Xi had gone to visit at that time, in his opinion, it was a broken knot handed over, who knows Ye Zhao does not know what to do, Whether to grasp or catch also made Pang Xi's perception of Ye Zhao drop to the extreme.

Not only Pang Xi, but also the Luoyang family, there are few people who don't hate Ye Zhao, which is also a reason why Ye Zhao was ostracized when he was in Luoyang, after all, once the family is big, there will always be a few gentlemen, and Luoyang Ling must do a good job, these children who often make trouble on the street are naturally the primary punishment target, even if Ye Zhao has slowed down the punishment, but for Pang Xi and these people, they don't give them face, so they naturally won't have a good impression.

Although Ye Zhao guessed that Pang Xi would not have anything good to say, but when the two armies were fighting, it was common for the main general to run out and fight first, Pang Xi directly refused, although in his opinion he was disdainful, but when the two armies were fighting, it was a sign of weakness to avoid it.

Moreover, the general directly brought out Pang Xi's original words, which immediately annoyed the generals behind Ye Zhao.

"Lord, there is no one in this Pang Xi's eyes, why bother talking nonsense with him? The last general is going to fight! Ji Ling, Guan Hai, Dian Wei, and Zhang Liao looked at the Shu army at the head of the city with unkind faces, and Guan Hai stood up and said loudly.

"One sentence will anger you?" Ye Zhao swayed, looking at Luoxian, it was impossible to surrender, he didn't pay attention to the bullshit between himself and these Luoyang Wang clans, but the other party kept remembering it, which was also quite speechless.

However, if you storm Ruoxian, I am afraid that you will lose a lot of soldiers and horses.

"Lord!" Zhang Liao came to Ye Zhao's side, pointed to the high mountain on the side of the county, and said: "This county is backed by Shanyue, why don't I send a team of people to the mountain and release arrows from the top of the mountain, and the lord will command the army to attack head-on, I'm afraid that the county will not be able to hold out for too long." ”

Ye Zhao and Xi Zhicai's eyes lit up when they heard this, this was a method, and they nodded immediately: "Then this matter will be up to Wen Yuan!" ”

looked at the top of the mountain and said: "You have five hundred archers, you will lead people up the mountain, and tomorrow you will see the wolf smoke lit here, and then attack together." ”

"The last general commands!" Zhang Liao saluted, turned around and walked away.

Ye Zhao and Xi Zhicai explored the terrain of Ruoxian County again, and then led the army back to the camp.

There are two roads leading to Chengdu in this county, one is where Ye Zhao and they are now, and they must pass through Luo County, and the other is a small road, without a name, Ye Zhao estimated that the Luofeng Slope where Pang Tong fell in the romance is here, Ye Zhao asked a group of officials in Shuzhong, this road can indeed bypass Luo County, but it is extremely steep, not suitable for the march of the army, and the grain and grass are also difficult to operate.

"This road, but it is suitable for surprise attacks, if the Shu army is exhausted, only a school of soldiers and horses needs to bypass here, and you can directly hit Chengdu." Xi Zhicai made a few strokes on the map with a bamboo stick, looked at Ye Zhao and said: "But this plan is very dangerous, if it fails, there will be no surprise attack." ”

"You can give it a try, but I heard that Liu Yan and Qingqiang are friendly, and now I haven't seen Qingqiang, and the soldiers and horses in Shuzhong have not yet been exhausted, so this matter should be postponed." Ye Zhao nodded Chengdu and said: "Now, it is to fight, let that Liu Yan transfer the soldiers and horses in Shuzhong." ”

Ruxian is the only place that Liu Yan can defend now, although there is no danger of Mianzhu, but the geographical location is very important, Ye Zhao cannot bypass Ruoxian to fight Chengdu when there is a large army stationed in Ruxian County, so this Ruxian County can also be regarded as a decisive battle between Ye Zhao and Liu Yan.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Zhang Liao led his troops to the top of the mountain, and also found the best shooting position, and sent someone to inform Ye Zhao, Ye Zhao immediately ordered troops to go out, and a simple siege equipment made of craftsmen with the army was carried up, and at the same time ignited the beacon fire to signal Zhang Liaofo's attack.

"It is said that Ye Zhao is like a god in his army, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that." On the tower of the city of Yuxian County, looking at the Hanzhong army that arranged the troops and began to attack the city wall, Pang Xi smiled disdainfully, not that Ye Zhao arranged it badly, but it was just decent, after all, there were so many siege routines, no matter how powerful the general was, once he decided to storm the city, he couldn't get rid of these routines, and there was nothing new in looking at it.

"Woo Woo Woo ~ "

Just as he was proud, suddenly a cluster of arrows fell from the sky, although it was not dense, but it covered the entire city, and several unlucky soldiers were shot by the cluster of arrows falling from the sky, and let out a wail before death.

"Where's the arrow!?" Several of the county guards looked at the Hanzhong soldiers and horses who were still at least three hundred paces away from them in disbelief, and at this distance, it was impossible for the opponent's bows and arrows to shoot over.

"On the mountain!" Pang Xi reacted quickly, looked up at the sky, and inspected all the places where there might be loopholes, but he fell here, and Luo County was built on the side of the mountains, so he should have thought of this a long time ago.

A little black light continued to magnify in his vision, Pang Xi was unaware at first, but soon found that this arrow cluster was coming towards him, he was horrified, and it was too late to dodge, the arrow cluster directly penetrated his hair bun, Pang Xi staggered back a few steps, his legs were weak, and he sat down on the ground.

"General!" Several soldiers defending the city were shocked when they saw this, and hurriedly stepped forward to protect Pang Xi in the middle, seeing that he was only hit by an arrow in a bun, and he was not injured before he breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Pang Xi's face for the rest of his life, the arrow cluster was still trembling on his bun, and he didn't know whether to say that he was lucky or unlucky for a while?

"Ye Zhao is a traitor, he deceived me too much!" Pang Xi came back to his senses for a long time, his back was a little cold, but his clothes were already soaked with cold sweat, he stood up with a look of shame and anger, and pointed at the army in the distance that had not yet entered the firing range and scolded.

Several generals around looked at each other, and they really didn't know what to say.
