Liu Zhang carefully read the letter, and finally knew why Huang Yue did not succeed, originally Liu Zhang explained to Huang Yue, using the Huang family's position in northern Shu, pretending to be attached to Pang Xi, Pang Xi raised troops, recruited troops, and wanted to win over the family, so he would inevitably reuse the children of the family.

Liu Zhang only hopes that Huang Yue can find a trustworthy clansman, gain Pang Xi's trust, and obtain a key point such as a real shortage of commanders, or even city gates, so that when the army arrives in Brazil, it can be combined with the outside and go down in one go.

It's a pity that Liu Zhang didn't expect Pang Xi's character in advance, Pang Xi's caution is far beyond his imagination, he is indeed recruiting troops, and he also reuses the children of the family family, and the Huang family also has several outstanding children who have been named captains, but those positions are almost as powerful as they are, it sounds scary, in fact, there is no power, and the soldiers and horses are all in the hands of Pang Xi's cronies.

Even Pang Xi, in order to prevent the clan from defecting to the enemy, in the name of protection, "invited" all the main figures of the clan around Brazil to Brazil, including Huang Yue, who is now trapped in the city and can't get out of the city at all, so he has not been in contact with Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang saw the letter behind it, his brows slowly furrowed, and he suddenly raised his head and said to the spy: "You go back immediately, tell Miss Huang not to act according to the letter, break the Brazilian official has his own way, if Miss Huang does this, her life will not be guaranteed, and even implicate the clansmen, in this way, the official would rather be defeated." ”

"This ......" Looking at Liu Zhang's eager expression, the spy said embarrassedly: "The small one has been guarding for a whole day, and finally found an opportunity to fall from the relatively lax defense of the East City Gate, the four cities of Brazil are under martial law, and now, there is no way back." ”

"What?" Liu Zhang's hand tightened, the letter paper in his hand was crumpled into a paper ball, and the spy shrank his head in fright. Liu Zhang thought for a while, and said loudly to Leng Bao: "Order, tonight the three armies will be feasted, and tomorrow will be a decisive battle with Pang Xi." ”

Leng Bud was startled and said loudly: "Yes." ”

Late at night, when the crescent moon was in the sky, Pang Xi sat on the seat, wiping the sword in his hand that had not been used for several years, and said to Qu Tian, who was drinking tea on the side: "General Qu, this sword was still used when he was fighting Jia Long, and now I always feel uneasy when I use it again." ”

Qu Tian tasted the tea carefully, and said without raising his head: "The lord is wearing 30,000 armor, and there is Zhang Lu's strong reinforcement, there is no doubt that Liu Zhang will be defeated, and the lord can rest assured." ”

Pang Xi shook his head, with a sad look on his face: "General Qu, you are still young, you were still a minor when Jia Long rebelled, when Liu Yan entered Shu, like Liu Zhang now, he was harsh on the world, Jia Long was a famous hero in Shu, and the prestige of the family was there, of course he would raise troops to resist."

Jia Long not only has a huge amount of wealth, but also knows the strategy, and is now the commander of Zhang Ren, the general of Yizhou, when he rebelled, it can be described as monstrous, and there is a strong reinforcement like Dong Zhuo, but in the end he was defeated.

Now I think that I am not as good as Jia Long, Wei is not as good as Jia Long, soldiers and horses are not as good as Jia Long, and foreign aid Zhang Lu is not as good as Dong Zhuo, where do I dare to conclude that I will be able to win, alas. ”

Pang Xi sighed: "Back then, I saw that Liu Zhang was weak and could safeguard the interests of my family, and Zhao Yun and I abandoned Liu Zhang's brother Liu Mao and embraced him together, but I didn't expect that now I have reaped the consequences, Zhao Wei is already in a different place, how dare I conclude that I am not the next." ”

Qu Tian said: "Back then, Jia Long's affairs, the last general also knew a little bit about it, it is precisely because Jia Long is strategic, and he has a lot of wealth and horses, plus there is such a strong reinforcement as Dong Zhuo, so it is impossible to be defeated, since ancient times, the arrogant army will be defeated, Jia Long is of course defeated by Liu Yan, but now the situation is just the opposite."

The lord is not as good as Jia Long, his prestige is not as good as Jia Long, and his soldiers and horses are not as good as Jia Long, but there is one thing that Jia Long is far behind, that is, humility and prudence, even if Jia Long has one-tenth of the humility of the lord back then, and today's Yizhou is not the world of the Liu family, so as long as the lord continues to maintain this calm attitude, the time and place are right and the people are all in us, how can we be invincible? ”

"I hope so." Pang Xi sighed abruptly, and said to Qu Tian: "General Qu is a rare handsome man in the Qu family, both civil and military, and the Qu family is the most subsidized official, the general only appointed you a subordinate governor is wronged, Pang Ming was killed by Liu Zhang, if Chengdu is conquered, I will definitely seal General Qu as the general of Yizhou." ”

"The last general will be newly invested, don't dare, the subordinate governor can serve the lord, Qu Tian is already satisfied."

Pang Xi waved his hand and said: "This matter has already been decided, you don't have to say much, you just talk about your views on the battle situation now, I analyze that Liu Zhang's army outside the city will not exceed 10,000, but they must be elite soldiers, fight, afraid of not fighting, and afraid of losing fighters, I heard that you have been familiar with military books since childhood, you can help me make a decision." ”

Qu Tian put down the teacup and said to Pang Xi: "Lord, as far as the battle is concerned, the lord should be guarded." ”

"Why?"

"Liu Zhang's soldiers are not more than 10,000, and they can hide from us for a hundred miles, which means that they must be out day and night, and in addition to the combat troops, there is almost no baggage, I am afraid that the food is maintained by the grain stock of Baling Pass, there is no siege equipment, and there is a shortage of food, before the arrival of reinforcements from Chengdu, Liu Zhang is helpless against us Brazil, and when the Chengdu reinforcements arrive, I am afraid that Zhang Lu has already passed the Jiameng Pass."

"You mean no war?"

Qu Tian took a sip of tea, shook his head slowly, and said: "Since ancient times, soldiers have been attached to politics, and soldiers are used to achieve political goals, and now the lord wants to overthrow Liu Zhang and replace him, so we use soldiers to obtain the position of state pastor, but when Zhang Luxiong's soldiers enter the customs, will he give up the position of state pastor to the lord, and willingly accept the territory of Shudong that we promised?" I'm afraid that Zhang Lu will also use us to compete with Liu Zhang, take advantage of the fisherman, and plot the whole of Xichuan.

The lord is now sticking to the city wall, waiting for reinforcements from Hanzhong, which is to give Zhang Lu a weak impression, so that he feels that the lord can't do without him, so that Zhang Lu will be even more arrogant, only before the lord arrives at Zhang Lu, he wins a big victory, and even kills Liu Zhang, Zhang Lu does not dare to despise the lord, in the battle of attacking Xichuan, you are the lord, he is the aid.

The reason why the civil and military in Brazil are arguing endlessly is because of different ideas, the civil officials think that whether it is the lord or Zhang Lu to obtain the position of state pastor, in order to stabilize the situation, they can only be appointed, and the military general thinks that if the lord loses power and Zhang Lu becomes the master, Zhang Lu will inevitably reuse the Hanzhong generals and squeeze them out, for their own interests, of course, there are different opinions. ”

Pang Xi pondered and didn't speak, Qu Tian bowed and said: "Qu Tian has never led the troops, do some nonsense, whether to fight or defend, or the lord to take the idea." ”

Pang Xi rubbed his sword absentmindedly, still a little undecided, Qu Tian stood up and said: "Lord, it's not too early, Qu Tian will leave, whether he fights or defends, Qu Tian swears to follow the lord to the death, but don't forget that after the big victory, the lord and Huang Yue will preside over the big wedding for me and Miss Huang Yue." ”

Qu Tian smiled, and Pang Xi also smiled: "That's nature, that's nature, and I will never forget it." ”

Qu Tian walked out of the General's Mansion, the smile on his face disappeared, and he breathed a sigh into the night: "Miss Huang, there's only so much I can do for you, if Pang Xi still doesn't fight, don't blame me." ”;
