Chapter 1511 Duality


    People have two sides, just like the moon, although every time you look up at night, you may see the bright moon hanging in the sky like a disk, thinking that this is all the changes of the moon, but in fact, the moon There is another half that will never be seen by most people.


    General Fei Qian of the Western Expedition tried to develop some farming techniques in Langzhong, but did not expand the attack area, so the battle situation in Sichuan and Sichuan fell silent for a while.


    General Fei Qian did not continue to fight, and the big players in Sichuan and Shu did not want to fight. The reason is naturally obvious.


    As for the Jingxiang army, Liu Qi doesn''t care, he can fight or not, but he doesn''t have Liu Biao''s strong desire to expand. He came to Sichuan and Shu just to prove to his old man, Liu Biao, that he is not useless. As for what to fight for In fact, Liu Qi has no strategic goals at all, and he is the kind who walks with his eyes closed.


    Liu Bei didn’t want to fight either, and was happy to see delays. Anyway, as long as Sichuan, Shu and Chengdu got a steady stream of money, food, and soldiers, Liu Bei didn’t care if he stayed in Sichuan and Shu for three or four years. He was busy training soldiers every day, which was a joy.


    The only thing that is anxious is the Sichuan and Shu ruling group headed by Liu Zhang and Pang Xi.


    Don’t be in a hurry, this food, grass and money are not only to supply your own troops, but also to the Jingzhou Army. These two aspects are combined, but they go out day and night like running water...


    The key point is that the general who conquered the West originally entered Sichuan, and did not get any supplements, but now because the war has stopped, and Langzhong seems to have become a temporary trading gathering point, many novel affairs have made Sichuan and Sichuan big families happy. As a result, the expedition troops stationed in the west even obtained a lot of basic supplies because of trade.


    Comparing the two phases, naturally Liu Zhang and Pang Xi had to be anxious.


    When people are in a hurry, it is easy to make mistakes.


    Some mistakes can be undone, but once made, some mistakes cannot be undone. I don''t know whether Liu Zhang and Pang Xi regretted the mistakes they made at that moment?


    Sudden battles often catch people off guard.


    What makes people feel at a loss is the battle from within...


    In the autumn of the fourth year of Yanping, on September 20th, the battle that broke out on this night was a huge and chaotic situation for Liu Zhang and Pang Xi, and perhaps they could not understand or forget it in their entire lives.


    For Liu Zhang, because he was still in Chengdu, he was still not aware of the chaos that erupted in Qi County. Of course, even if Liu Zhang knew about it first, with his understanding and control of the entire battle situation, Also helpless.


    When people come together, it takes constant trial and adjustment to form a unified team. However, as long as there is a little carelessness and slight changes during this integration stage, the team will become a unified team. Gangs, not even gangs.


    Army system, once there are a large number of people, it will be huge and gigantic. In addition, it cannot be like a game in reality. A small soldier holding a flag is considered an army.


    Qixian County was originally not very big, but in order to resist the troops of General Zhengxi, so many soldiers were temporarily assembled. Naturally, it is impossible to gather all of them in the city. The military camp was built, and trenches were dug, and sharp bamboo sticks were inserted to form a semi-permanent fortification.


    If it is Pang Xi, although this person is unknown in history, he can become Liu Yan''s Tuogu minister in Sichuan and Shu, which is somewhat capable. The general is the first level, but it is not too good to arrange the defense of the barracks. From Guanghan to Qixian, because he has a better understanding of the geographical relationship, Pang Xi has a secret sentry point every twenty or thirty miles. The only function of the sentry points is early warning, and if Zhengxi sends troops, it is impossible to be completely undetected by these sentries.


    As long as the sentry sent out a warning, the soldiers and horses of Qi County could respond immediately, which naturally eliminated the possibility of being attacked. Unfortunately, the larger the fortification, the more useless it seems to be in actual combat. The defensive system that Pang Xi worked so hard to arrange could not stop Liu Bei and others'' surprise attack, because Liu Bei directly attacked from the rear, and the soldiers in the defensive army stronghold at the frontier of Qi County didn''t even know that everything was over until dawn. The dust has settled...


    Normally speaking, if all of Pang Xi''s troops were mobilized, Liu Bei might not be able to make any moves. There was not much vigilance. On the other hand, the backward communication mode of the command system in the Han Dynasty caused Pang Xi to lose the opportunity to deliver messages and orders in the first place, and he was defeated without any chance of recovery.


    If one has the perspective of an omniscient and omnipotent God, one can see that on this **** night in the fourth year of Yan Ping, the Pang Xi army affected by Liu Bei''s attack actually only accounted for one-tenth of the total army, and the vast majority Pang Xi''s soldiers were all in panic and waiting, and became witnesses of this incident at a loss.


    The battle first broke out in the west gate of Qi County.


    After an inexplicable chaos, the west city gate of Qi County slowly opened in the night, which kicked off the whole chaos and sounded Pang Xi''s death knell.


    Almost at the same time, in Liu Bei''s camp outside the city, soldiers held torches and rushed out of the camp like fire dragons, then followed the opened west gate, went straight into Qi County, and rushed towards Qi County along the East-West Avenue Pang Xi''s command center.


    In the mountains outside the city, the awakened wild birds fluttered wildly in the air, chirping mournfully, not knowing whether they were cursing or singing sad songs.


    In the barracks closest to Qi County, there was a team led by Pang Xi''s most trusted general, and this captain did not disappoint Pang Xi. After discovering the inexplicable chaos in Qi County, he immediately assembled He gathered his troops, bypassed the north of the city, and led his soldiers to the west gate of Qixian County, which was blazing with flames.


    In the dark night, the light of the torch flickered.


    Pang Xi''s lieutenant was looking at the flames of the west gate, and hurried forward, but he heard some creepy voices, "Be careful with bows and arrows!"


    Immediately, the screams of the soldiers sounded one after another. At this moment, someone noticed that at some point in front of them, a group of troops stood up. The leader held a long knife. Under the light of the moonlight and the fire, Shining coldly.


    "kill!"


    "kill!"


    Without any extra nonsense, the two sides shouted loudly almost at the same time, commanding the soldiers to fight forward.


    In the cold moonlight, the long knife flashed like moonlight, and the severed limbs were like colorful falling petals, and the sprayed blood rippled in the firelight, creating a magnificent brilliance.


    Although Pang Xi''s lieutenant was loyal, he did not get much attribute bonus under Guan Yu''s knife. In the darkness, soldiers from both sides fought face to face. Guan Yu''s side had the upper hand both in terms of the individual soldiers and the layout of the battle formation, coupled with Guan Yu''s personal bravery, so in the dark night, the rescue operation of Pang Xi''s army was soon accompanied by Seeing the head of the school lieutenant fall to the ground, it announced the end.


    Guan Yu squinted his eyes, watching the surviving Pang Xi soldiers fleeing for their lives under the cover of night, he snorted contemptuously, and then gathered the queue, instead of chasing after him, he continued to guard outside the west gate...


    Tens of thousands of people, even if they are assembled into an army formation, if there is a war, not everyone can understand the specific progress of the battle, let alone like in the dark night, the camps are scattered everywhere, and there is no order. The situation is down. Many people were awakened by the riots, but not many people knew exactly what happened and what to do.


    After all, in the military law of the Han Dynasty, is the general quality of soldiers, that is, especially at night, a little restless, some lax discipline, or the army before and after the war, even because of a night tour of an ordinary soldier Talking in sleep caused the entire battalion and the entire army to collapse, and it is not unheard of. Therefore, in the camp, night operations are extremely sensitive and strictly prohibited. Therefore, even if many people saw Qi County changes, but most people still can only wait and watch nervously...


    "Liu Bei! Liu Xuande!" Pang Xi climbed on top of the sentry tower in the county government office, gnashing his teeth, "I treat you well! I never thought that you have the heart of a wolf! The way of heaven is clear, what is the law of heaven!"


    Liu Bei did not show any weakness, and yelled back: "The way of heaven is clear. When the people in Sichuan and Shu were slaughtered, why didn''t you think about the way of heaven? What is the law of heaven? When driving the people of Sichuan and Shu, why didn''t you speak of the law of heaven? I led the troops into Sichuan. I thought The two families are friendly and fight against the enemy hand in hand, but what did Duke Pang do? Yin made people pretend to be the third brother of my family, commit cruel acts, and put the blame on someone! Is this the way of Duke Pang?!"


    When Pang Xi heard that the secret was exposed by Liu Bei, his heart skipped a beat, and he felt a little bit sorry on the surface. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly remembered that only Li Hui in Chengdu knew this matter best. If he hadn''t leaked it here Going out means being in Chengdu...


    Thinking of this, Pang Xi couldn''t help turning pale.


    The soldiers around Pang Xi didn''t know what to do, but seeing Pang Xi''s complexion changed, the soldiers who were already a little flustered didn''t know what to do...


    "Brother Xuande, what are you still talking about with this treacherous villain?" Wu Ban stood beside Liu Bei, raised his sword in his hand, and shouted loudly, "It''s today! The first one will be rewarded with ten thousand gold!"


    Zhang Fei laughed loudly, as if he wanted to vent all his depression a few days ago, he drank violently, and led his soldiers to storm the gate of the Qixian government office.


    Arrows from both sides were like flying locusts, passing each other in the night sky, and the gate of the Yixian government office suddenly became a land of Shura, but after all, Pang Xi''s direct guards did not carry many arrows. The internal arrows were exhausted, and the morale of the soldiers led by Zhang Fei who stormed the front door became more and more vigorous, and some even began to climb the walls of the government office.


    As for the Pang Xi soldiers inside the wall, although they were protected by an extra layer of walls, they looked weaker on the contrary. Many people screamed hysterically at the Zhang Fei soldiers who had killed them, but they didn''t say anything to them. forward.


    The distance between the bodies of the two sides, the only poor separation zone, was quickly breached...


    With a strange smile, Zhang Fei rushed into the infantry array assembled by Pang Xi at the main gate of the government office, like a crazy piling machine, dancing his long spear, accompanied by blood bursting and splashing, dispelling all the depression and aggrieved , fully released at this moment.


    Pang Xi tried to withdraw from the government office of Qi County and regroup soldiers and horses in the barracks outside the city, but this behavior led to a faster collapse of the soldiers who remained in the government office. Even Pang Xi himself was not able to escape very far. was caught up...


    Under the night sky, in Qi County, flames swirled, shouts shook the sky, blood and corpses were spread in the streets, and in the dark alleys, there were all the broken soldiers under Pang Xi who fled in fear. Of course, there were also some brave ones. Pang Xi''s soldiers fought hard, but in front of the formed team of Liu Bei and others, it was almost an overwhelming massacre.


    Pang Xi''s troops directly under the siege in the middle of the street, under the siege, encountered such a sudden attack, in panic, shaken army morale, and great panic, the combat power was reduced by three or four points invisibly. After resisting for a while, they were washed away and cut apart amidst panic and hysterical shouts and screams!


    Pang Xi''s guards surrounded Pang Xi, but these guards still couldn''t give Pang Xi any sense of security. The huge pressure caused them heavy casualties, and Pang Xi was terrified. When Zhang Fei stabbed the long spear into the body of Pang Xi''s last circle of guards, he heard the sound of broken bones and tendons, and felt the flying flesh and blood staining his face, Pang Xi was finally big. Sheng howled, lost his fighting spirit, and expressed his willingness to surrender...


    Accompanied by the fall of Pang Xi''s guard''s weapon, Zhang Fei''s circling and whistling long spear finally stopped temporarily, and the bright red blood spread on the long street, and then was trampled under Liu Bei''s combat boots.


    "Pang Gong!" Liu Bei still smiled gently, as if he was not the one who yelled at the government office before, "I don''t want to disturb the two masters, and the military barracks outside the city, let Pang Gong be lucky!"


    Zhang Fei laughed, strode forward, and grabbed Pang Xi''s neck like he was pinching a chicken. He held it in his hand and dragged it out, "Don''t worry, I won''t kill you! Go, go! I''m going to miss my elder brother''s time!"


    In the light of the fire, Liu Bei was still smiling. I don''t know if it was an illusion. Liu Bei''s back seemed to be a little taller, and his eyes became more radiant: "After dawn, a certain person rushed to Chengdu. At the place, I went to Yuanxiong to help..."


    "Mr. Xuande should rest assured, I dare not do my best!" Wu Ban quickly responded.


    ...


    Is this a blessing, or a disaster?


    Liu Bei thought about it, suddenly laughed, and strode forward, regardless of misfortune or fortune, if he wants to be famous in the world, he must take one!
