Chapter 41: Arrival in Jiangzhou

The Sword Pavilion was originally under Liu Xie's control, and it was not difficult to control the Sword Pavilion, but Jia Mengguan was under Pang Xi's control, and it would not be so easy for Liu Xie to take it down. Jiameng Pass can be said to be the northwest gateway of Brazil County, and it is also an important place for the Hanzhong army to enter Chengdu, and Liu Xie naturally does not want this important place to fall into the hands of Pang Xi. However, at this time, although Tai Shici had already won the Sword Pavilion, he did not move the Meng Pass for the time being.

He was waiting for the opportunity, waiting for news from Liu Xie's side.

Liu Xie rested in Fucheng for a night, and that night, secretly sent the 3,000 soldiers and horses of the original Dong Cheng. These 3,000 soldiers and horses can be said to be Liu Xie's personal soldiers, because they are all from the land of Sanfu. It's just that their combat capabilities are really somewhat debatable.

Although they went secretly, they still showed some horses, so that the spies sent by Pazil Pang Xi learned the information.

The next time, Liu Xie led the army, opened the way by Guan Yu's 1,000 sword and shield soldiers, and after Zhang Fei's 1,000 halberd soldiers were broken, he went south to the Dianjiang River and marched towards Jiangzhou City. Moreover, with Zhang Fei and Guan Yu accompanying them, it seems that they are indeed going to save Liu Bei.

The news soon spread from Fucheng, and it reached Pang Xi and Zhao Wei in front of them.

Receiving such news, Pang Xi breathed a sigh of relief, but Zhao Wei's heart was raised. Originally, Zhao Wei thought that Liu Xie's main opponent on this expedition should be Pang Xi! But he didn't expect that Liu Xie's goal changed, and he actually shifted his focus to him, a helper.

The army led by Liu Xie was only 5,000, and with the 3,000 soldiers and horses in Fucheng, it was only 8,000. Eight thousand reinforcements to Jiangzhou, plus the original soldiers and horses in Jiangzhou, it was completely enough to hold Jiangzhou.

In fact, all of Liu Xie's soldiers and horses were only about 14,005, Tai Shici's 1,000 soldiers and horses had quietly left the team, and 3,000 of the 5,000 Dongzhou soldiers were still stationed in Zitong, and the remaining 2,000 had secretly followed Tai Shici to Jiameng Pass.

Around Liu Xie, there were actually only 7,000 regular troops and less than 1,000 Shenwuwei. Liu Xie did not mobilize the soldiers and horses of the rest of the counties, which is why Zhao Pang and the others could not determine who Liu Xie wanted to attack. But now that Liu Xie is going to Jiangzhou with great fanfare, the purpose is already very obvious.

So, Zhao Wei turned around and asked Pang Xi to stab Liu Xie in the back!

A few days later, Liu Xie's army soon came to Jiangzhou City, at this time, Zhao Wei, just took Linjiang County, down the river, and attacked Pingdu.

And Liu Bei himself is still in Jiangzhou. Liu Bei was named the Taishou of Bajun, Zhao Wei wanted to fight him, although he wanted to resist to the death, but there were not many soldiers and horses in his hands, and the second and third brothers who could recruit and fight were not by his side, and they were no match for Zhao Wei's soldiers and horses, which was too normal.

Gan Ning came to help him, but Liu Bei left him outside Jiangzhou City, patrolling back and forth between Fushui and Jiangshui. In this regard, Gan Ning had no opinion, but made a look of Yu Jiangzhou and Zhao Yun stumbling.

Sure enough, when Liu Xie arrived in Jiangzhou, Pang Xi couldn't help but stab Liu Xie's chrysanthemum. Because Jia Meng Pass has been seized by Tai Shici. Jiameng Pass was captured by Tai Shici, and Zhang Ren's 3,000 Dongzhou soldiers once again increased their troops to Jiange and Jiameng Pass, putting pressure on Pang Xi and Zhang Lu.

The geographical location of Jiameng Pass is special, and it can attack Hanchang in the east, and Baishui Pass in the north can contribute to Zhanglu, and Pang Xi has to be nervous. But compared to the difficulty of winning Jia Mengguan, Pang Xi is more inclined to stab Liu Xie's chrysanthemum.

However, because Pang Xi's adviser Deng Zhi advised him at this time, "General Pang, Jiameng Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is indeed not suitable to attack, but it is too troublesome to attack Emperor Han Xiaoxian from afar, and after going south, it is easy to be blocked by the Dianjiang guards, such as I wait for the west to enter Langzhong, and then attack Zitong, cut off the connection between Jiameng Pass and Fucheng, Jiameng Pass lacks grain and grass, and its position must be chaotic, no need to say more, you can persuade its defenders to surrender, even if it doesn't work, you can also shake its military heart!" Moreover, if there is a change in Zitong, how can Emperor Han Xiaoxian sit idly by, in this way, the danger of Jiangzhou can not be solved! ”

Pang Xi nodded, and Deng Zhi said again: "And, if the filial piety emperor doesn't pay attention to it, then it will be even better, we can wait for a long time to go straight in, if the filial piety emperor loses Chengdu, then his previous efforts will be wasted!" As for King Hanning's move to let the general attack on Jiameng Pass, he can really ignore it......"

Hearing this, Pang Xi said: "In this way, wouldn't we be unjust to King Hanning?" ”

Deng Zhi said with a smile: "How can it be unjust, we will attack Zitong, threaten Jianmen Pass, and then coerce Jia Meng Pass, wouldn't it also be regarded as cooperating with King Hanning?" ”

"Well, Bo Miao is right!" Pang Xi nodded, and finally patted the case and said: "Just do it, the generals will listen to the order, Pang Yue, General Pang Qi, this general will order you two to speed up the five thousand troops to advance to Langzhong, and then Langzhong will provide three thousand soldiers and horses, within five days, capture Zitong!" ”

"Whoa!"

…………

Outside Jiangzhou City, Liu Bei saw Liu Xie coming with Guan Zhang's second general, and couldn't help but smile, greeted him ten miles outside the city, and did enough surface work.

Seeing Liu Bei greet him in person, Liu Xie also laughed, and secretly thought: This guy is really good at doing face projects! But alas, I'm going to disappoint you again!

"Ba County guards Liu Bei, and leads all the county officials to greet Your Majesty, long live my emperor!" Liu Bei was at the head of the officials, crossed his hands on the top, knelt down respectfully, and shouted long live. The officials who followed him also had to follow Liu Bei to do the same.

Because during this period, there were not many people who bowed on informal occasions, let alone in the wild. At this time, before the dynasty that knelt down and called itself a slave at every turn, Liu Bei did this, which can be regarded as giving Liu Bei enough face.

Liu Xie smiled and stretched out his hand to help Liu Bei up, and said, "Aiqing is flat, and Zhongqing is also flat!" Rest assured, I have led a large army here today, and I will definitely make Zhao Wei's traitor come and go! ”

"Your Majesty, mighty and powerful!" Liu Bei smiled and patted Liu Xie's ass, and then greeted his two brothers quietly.

Not long after, Liu Xie's army marched into Jiangzhou City, and when Liu Bei noticed the number of troops, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

That night, Liu Bei led a group of county officials to receive His Majesty Liu Xie and his generals in the county guard's mansion. And what made Liu Bei even more suspicious was why Liu Bei didn't even bring half a military division with him? It stands to reason that if the algorithm is not brought, Guo Jia and Jia Xu have to bring one, right?

After the banquet, Liu Xie left Liu Bei behind, and the two generals who stayed with him were also related to Zhang.

"Liu Aiqing, are you still used to it in Jiangzhou?" Liu Xie asked with a smile.

Liu Bei smiled bitterly: "It was good, but I didn't expect that Zhao Yun traitor ruined all this, which made the lower officials sad!" ”

Liu Xie nodded and sighed: "What Liu Aiqing said is extremely true! However, this is not what I am worried about, what I am worried about is that in this Jiangzhou City, I am afraid that some people are colluded with that Zhao Wei traitor, it will not be good! I don't know what Liu Aiqing has discovered? ”

Liu Bei was stunned, shook his head slightly, and said, "This, the lower officials really haven't paid attention to it!" ”

Zhang Fei on the side shouted: "Big brother, Your Majesty is right, you have to guard against it!" I think that at the beginning, I lost Xuzhou, it was because some people in Xuzhou colluded with the three family slaves that I lost so quickly......"

Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei and wanted to say: You obviously drank and made a mistake!

But in front of Liu Xie, he didn't dare to say this about his brother, not because he was afraid that his brother would be annoyed, but because he was afraid that he would discredit his brother and ruin his future.

It's just that what Liu Bei didn't know was that when Liu Xie talked to Zhang Fei about this, he shifted the focus to the inner ghost without a trace, and diluted the responsibility for his drunken mistake, making Zhang Fei feel like he had met a bosom friend to Liu Xie, and he couldn't wait to call Liu Xie 'big brother'!

Although Liu Xie knew that doing this might be a bad thing, for now, Zhang Fei's attitude towards him made him feel that it was worth it.

Liu Xie got up and walked to the window, looked out, listened to the sound of insects and frogs in the dark night outside, and said softly: "Liu Aiqing, I came to Jiangzhou this time, but in fact, it was just a formality. Liu Xie was not worried that his words would be heard, because inside and outside the courtyard, his Shenwu guards were guarding.

"What does Your Majesty mean?" Liu Bei and the three of them also stood up and came behind Liu Xie, hearing Liu Xie's words, Liu Bei couldn't help but ask in a low voice, with a surprised expression on his face, it was really difficult to see that he was faking.

Liu Xie turned to look at Liu Bei, looked at his surprised expression, suddenly laughed, and said, "Is it true that Liu Aiqing can't see it?" If that's the case, I'm a little disappointed! ”

"Be stupid, please show your majesty!" Liu Xie said respectfully.
