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, thinking that this is all the changes of the moon. In fact, the moon is There is another half that will never be seen by most people.


    ? General Fei of the Western Expedition went to Langzhong to develop some farming techniques, but did not expand the attack area, so the war situation in Sichuan and Shu became quiet for a while.


    ? General Fei Qian of Zhengxi did not continue to fight, and the big households in Sichuan and Sichuan 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. He doesn''t have as strong a desire to expand as Liu Biao. He came to Sichuan and Shu just to prove to his father, Liu Biao, that he is not useless. As for what he wants to achieve It seems that Liu Qi actually has no strategic goals at all in terms of what the final result will be. He is the kind of person who walks with his eyes closed.


    ??Liu Bei didn''t want to fight, and was happy to see the delay. Anyway, as long as Sichuan and Sichuan got money, food and soldiers in Chengdu, it didn''t matter if Liu Bei stayed in Sichuan and Shu for three or four years. He was busy training soldiers every day and was happy.


    ?The only ones who are anxious are the Sichuan-Shu ruling group headed by Liu Zhang, Pang Xi and others.


    Don''t be in a hurry. This food, grass and money will not only provide for your own troops, but also for the Jingzhou Army. Together, these two aspects will flow out like running water day and night...


    The key is that when General Zhengxi entered Sichuan, he did not receive any supplements. But now that the war has stopped and Langzhong seems to have become a temporary trade gathering point, many novel events have made the big Sichuan and Sichuan households feel happy. As a result, the troops stationed in the expedition to the west even received a lot of basic supplies due to trade.


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


    When people are in a hurry, they tend to do wrong things.


    Some wrong things can be undone, while some wrong things once done are irreversible. I wonder if Liu Zhang and Pang Xi regretted the mistakes they had made at that moment?


    Sudden battles often catch people by surprise.


    What makes people even more confused is the battle taking place from within...


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


    For Liu Zhang, because he was still in Chengdu, he was still unaware of the chaos that broke out in Li County. Of course, even if Liu Zhang knew about it first, with his understanding and control of the entire battle situation, There is nothing that can be done.


    When people come together, they must go through constant trials and running-in before they can form a unified team. However, as long as there are a little carelessness and subtle changes during this running-in stage, the team will become A gang, not even a gang.


    ?The army system, once the number of people is large, is huge and huge, and in reality it cannot be like a game. A soldier holding a flag is considered an army.


    Qixian County was not originally very big, but in order to resist the troops of General Zhengxi, so many soldiers were temporarily gathered. Naturally, it was impossible to gather them all in the city. Facing the attack of the troops of Zhengxi, not only Military strongholds were built, trenches were dug, and sharp bamboo sticks were inserted to form semi-permanent fortifications.


    If we talk about Pang Xi, although this person is unknown in history, he can be regarded as somewhat capable in becoming Liu Yan''s entrusted minister in Sichuan and Sichuan. Although Pang Xi may not be able to join a million soldiers on the battlefield. At the general level, it is not too difficult to arrange the defense of military camps. From Guanghan to Li County, because he has a better understanding of the geographical location, Pang Xi has a secret sentry point every twenty or thirty miles. These The only function of the sentry points is to provide early warning, and once Zhengxi sends troops, it will be impossible for them to be completely unnoticed by these sentry posts.


    ?As long as the sentry sent out a warning, the soldiers and horses of Qixian County could respond immediately, thus naturally eliminating the possibility of being attacked by a sneak attack. Unfortunately, the larger the scale of fortifications, the less useful they seem to be in actual combat. The defense system that Pang Xi had worked so hard to lay out could not stop the surprise attack by Liu Bei and others, because Liu Bei attacked directly from the rear, and the soldiers in the defensive army camp at the front of Li County didn''t even know until dawn that everything had happened. The dust has settled...


    Normally, if all of Pang Xi''s troops were mobilized, Liu Bei might not be able to do anything. However, on the one hand, the troops who conquered the West did not move in Guanghan without any warning. Naturally, Pang Xi''s soldiers in Li County also There was not much warning. On the other hand, the backward communication mode of the Han Dynasty''s command system caused Pang Xi to suffer a complete defeat after losing the opportunity to deliver messages and orders immediately, without any chance of recovery.


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


    The battle first broke out at the west gate of Qixian County.


    ?After an inexplicable chaos, the west city gate of Qixian County slowly opened in the night, kicking off the whole chaos and ringing the death knell of Pang Xi.


    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 they followed the open west gate and went straight into Qixian County. They followed the East-West Avenue and rushed towards Qixian County. The government office is the focus of Pang Xi''s command.


    In the mountains outside the city, wild birds were awakened and flew randomly in the air, chirping shrilly, whether they were cursing or lamenting.


    In the military camp closest to Qixian County, there are the troops led by Pang Xi''s most trusted general. And this captain did not let Pang Xi down. After discovering the inexplicable chaos in Qixian County, he immediately gathered together. He gathered the troops, bypassed the north of the city, and led the soldiers towards the west gate of Qixian County, where the fire was blazing.


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


    Pang Xi''s captain was looking at the fire at the west city gate and hurried forward when he heard some creepy sounds, "Be careful with bows and arrows!"


    Immediately, the soldiers screamed one after another. At this moment, someone discovered that at some point in front, a group of people stood up. The leader held up a long knife. Under the moonlight and firelight, Shining coldly.


    “Kill!” ????“Kill!”


    Without any unnecessary nonsense, both sides shouted loudly at almost the same time, directing their soldiers to fight forward.


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


    Although Pang Xi''s lieutenant was loyal, he did not receive much attribute bonus from Guan Yu''s sword. In the darkness, the soldiers of both sides fought directly face to face. What is more important is that the soldiers themselves are brave and well-trained, and they are waiting for work. Guan Yu''s side had the upper hand, both in terms of individual soldiers and battle formation layout. Coupled with Guan Yu''s personal bravery, in the dark night, the rescue operation of Pang Xi''s troops was quickly followed by When the captain''s head fell to the ground, the end was announced.


    ?? Guan Yu squinted his eyes and watched the surviving Pang Xi soldiers fleeing for their lives in embarrassment under the cover of night. He snorted contemptuously, then gathered his troops and did not pursue them, but continued to guard outside the west city gate...


    Thousands of people, even if they are assembled into a military formation, if there is a war, not everyone can understand the specific progress of the war, let alone the camps dispersed in the dark, without orders. The situation is down. Many people were awakened by the riots, but not many knew exactly what happened and what to do.


    After all, in the military discipline of the Han Dynasty, the general quality of soldiers was just like that, especially at night, if there was a little restlessness, some lax discipline, or the army before and after the war, or even because of the night wandering of an ordinary soldier Talking in sleep has caused the whole camp to collapse. Therefore, in the camp, night operations are extremely sensitive and strictly prohibited. Therefore, even though many people saw Qixian changes, but most people can still only wait and watch nervously...


    "Liu Bei! Liu Xuande!" At the Yaxian County Government Office, Pang Xi climbed on the sentry tower on the courtyard wall, gritting his teeth, "I will treat you well! I never thought that you have the heart of a wolf! The way of heaven is clear, where is the justice of heaven!"


    Liu Bei did not show any weakness and shouted back: "The way of heaven is clear. When we slaughtered the people of Sichuan and Shu, why didn''t we think of the way of heaven? Where is the law of heaven? When we drove the people of Sichuan and Shu, why didn''t we speak of the law of heaven? When I led the troops into Sichuan, I thought The two families are harmonious and work together to fight against the enemy, but why did Pang Gong make someone pretend to be my third brother and commit a cruel act? Is this the law of Pang Gong?"


    When Pang Xi heard that the secret was exposed by Liu Bei, his heart skipped a beat. He felt a little bit regretful on his face. 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 but turn pale.


    ??The soldiers around Pang Xi didn''t know what was going on, but seeing Pang Xi''s expression change, the already panicked soldiers became even more confused...


    "Brother Xuande, what are you talking about with such a treacherous villain?" Wu Ban stood beside Liu Bei, raised his sword, and shouted loudly, "We will **** the traitors and kill the rebels today! We will win the Pang family." The first one will be rewarded with ten thousand gold!”


    ?Zhang Fei laughed loudly, as if he wanted to vent all the depression he had been feeling a few days ago. He drank violently and led his soldiers to storm the gate of the Hexian County Government Office.


    The arrows from both sides were like locusts, flying across each other in the night sky. The gate of the Li County government office suddenly became a place of Shura. However, after all, Pang Xi''s direct bodyguard did not carry many arrows. Not long after, the government office The arrows inside were exhausted, and the soldiers led by Zhang Fei who stormed the front gate became more and more morale, and some even began to climb the walls of the government office.


    Although Pang Xi''s soldiers within the wall were protected by an extra layer of walls, they looked even weaker. Many of them bared their teeth and screamed hysterically at Zhang Fei''s soldiers who were coming to kill them, but they did not respond to them. forward.


    The physical distance between the two sides, which was only a pitiful isolation zone, was quickly breached...


    Zhang Fei smiled strangely and rushed into the infantry array assembled by Pang Xi at the main entrance of the government office. Like a crazy pile-driving machine, he danced his long spear, with blood bursting and splashing, and all the depression and aggrievedness were removed. , completely released at this moment.


    Pang Xi tried to withdraw from the Li County government office and regroup his troops in the military camp outside the city. However, this behavior caused the soldiers remaining in the government office to collapse faster. Even Pang Xi himself could not escape far. Just got caught up...


    Under the night sky, in Qixian County, firelight hovered, shouts shook the sky, blood and corpses were spread in the streets, and in the darkness of the alleys, there were the defeated 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 organized troops of Liu Bei and others, it was almost a one-sided massacre.


    The troops directly under Pang Xi who were surrounded in the middle of the street were surrounded, encountered such a sudden attack, and were in panic, shaken military morale, and great panic. Invisibly, their combat effectiveness was reduced by three or four points. After a little resistance, he was washed away and chopped into pieces amidst the panic and hysterical shouts and screams!


    Pang Xi''s guards surrounded Pang Xi, but these guards still could not give Pang Xi any sense of security. The huge pressure caused them heavy casualties, and Pang Xi was terrified. When Zhang Fei stabbed his long spear into the last circle of Pang Xi''s bodyguards, heard the sound of broken bones and tendons in his ears, and felt the flying flesh and blood staining his face, Pang Xi finally made a big move. Sheng howled, losing his fighting spirit and expressing his willingness to surrender...


    ??As Pang Xi''s guard blade fell, Zhang Fei''s circling and roaring long tree finally stopped temporarily. The bright red blood spread on the long street, and then was stepped on under Liu Bei''s boots.


    "Pang Gong!" Liu Bei still smiled gently, as if it was not him who was yelling at the government office before, "I will not disturb the two masters, but I would like to ask Pang Gong to come to the military camp outside the city!"


    Zhang Fei laughed, strode forward, grabbed Pang Xi''s neck, like holding a chicken, held it in his hand, and dragged him out, "Don''t worry, I won''t kill you! Go quickly, go quickly! Someone You’re going to miss my big 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 straighter and his eyes were brighter: "After dawn, I rushed to Chengdu. He went to Yuan Xiong to help him..."


    "Mr.


    ?Liu Bei nodded and looked to the horizon, conquering the west, conquering the west. If you hadn''t attacked Sichuan and Shu, and then suddenly stagnated, you might not have had such an opportunity to capture Chengdu...


    Is this a blessing or a curse?


    Liu Bei was thinking, suddenly laughed, and strode forward. No matter what the misfortune, he just wanted to be famous all over the world and win a place!
