Chapter 106: The first battle in Sichuan (Part 2)

Views:

Mianzhu is not very far from Zitong, after passing Fuxian, it is only a few dozen miles away. In the evening of the next day, Liu Xun and Zhang Fei led five hundred Sichuan soldiers through the mountains and plains, quietly concealed to a place only thirty miles away from Mianzhu, and stopped. Fa correct the terrain and found that there was a dense mountain and forest nearby that could ambush thousands of people. With a slight smile, he went to discuss with Liu Xun and Zhang Fei.

Defending Mianzhuguan is Zhao Yun's general Pang Le. When he knew that he was sent here, he was so happy that he crooked his mouth. He knew that the northern counties wanted to defend Zhang Lu, and he was too busy to take care of himself, and he did not have the ability to send troops here. Let him come to Mianzhu to defend without fighting, which is a big advantage. So after he came here, he didn't do anything, sang songs every day, and the prince girl every night, all day long thinking about how to make a fuss on the belly of a beautiful woman, and he didn't even send a sentry out.

At three shifts of the day, he was sleeping soundly with his arms around the beauty. Suddenly, the drums shook loudly outside the gate, and the sound of strange screams one after another. It sounded like a group of ghosts crying at night, cold and cold, and sweaty. Pang Le woke up with a jump, and was about to tremble, but saw a small soldier panting to report: "Report! A brigade of troops and horses has been killed outside the customs!"

Pang Le sat up and asked in shock, "Who is it?"

The little pawn's face was earthy, and he said with a trembling voice: "I don't know, it looks like... like..."

Pang Le said depravedly: "Asshole, what is it like?"

The little pawn looked terrified, and his body was shaking like a sifting chaff, and he said, "It's like a ghost... a ghost is coming. In this dark night, I haven't even seen a personal figure, and the opposite mountain... The drums are very loud, the strange screams are constant, listen. It's very... very scary. It must be a ghost. Please also ask the army... to lead us early... Let's run away."

Hearing what he said, Pang Le straightened his heart and looked around for a long time. He didn't see any ghosts approaching him. Feeling relieved, he patted his chest and shouted: "Nonsense! Where's the ghost in this world? I guess it is. Brazilian prefect Pang Xi brought troops here. He wants to guard against Zhang Lu. How many people can he send? I will send troops to fight for a while, and I will leave! This way I can also do some credit, haha!"

After talking about being bold, Pang Le stood up, draped neatly, squeezed a little bit on the beautiful face, and smiled maliciously: "Little beauty, come when I go."

The beauty said softly: "People are afraid of ghosts, so they don't dare to sleep anymore. They're waiting for you here. Go and get back soon."

Pang Le swallowed the water and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I will go back." After speaking, he turned around and shouted: "Open the city gate and wait for me to see where the crowd is so arrogant, dare Come to your Grandpa Pang’s site to be presumptuous!"

Pang Le mounted his spear and led five thousand army horses to take a look out of the city. There were ghosts in the four fields, and the silence was abnormal. No army horses arrived, and the drums in the opposite mountain no longer sounded. Pang Le looked inexplicable, thinking that his dream was being awakened, he couldn't help but furious, and yelled: "Fuck, which turtle son is playing with me like this!"

After shouting, Pang Le wanted to chase and kill with his army, to find out. After taking a few steps, I thought that the enemy might be setting up ambush to lure the enemy, and if he rushed forward, he would die. Thinking of this, he turned back, called the gate to open, led the soldiers into the city, and strictly ordered the soldiers to be careful. He ran back to meet the beauty again.

Pang Le returned to his room, and saw the beautiful woman leaning on her back, panting and sleeping very seductively. He swallowed the water, touched it on tiptoe, and muttered in his mouth: "Little beauty, I'm here." He walked to the bed, rubbed his hands, and a hungry tiger threw himself on it.

Pang Le threw himself in the air, and he heard the golden drums humming in the mountains opposite, the ghost horns mastering, heart-piercing. Pang Le shuddered with fright, and then rushed into the air. The beauty did not rush, and her mouth had already come into close contact with the bedboard, and it didn't hurt. Pang Le stood up, rubbed his sore nose, and cursed in a vicious manner: "Grandma, dare to disturb my good things, I didn't play with you!" After speaking, he rushed out again.

Once outside, there was silence again, and there was still no soldier in the surroundings. Pang Le was also worried about ghosts at this time, his heart was furry, his scalp was numb, and he didn't dare to go deep, so he had to turn around again. When I saw the beauty in the house, I didn't change my life and rushed forward.

Unexpectedly, it was as if the heavens were opposing him. As long as he thought of moving his feet to the beauty, the drum horn would sound and the ghost horn would come. After leaving the city, there would be no movement. Pang Le had no concentration, and rushed out furiously every time. After so many times, he was so tired and out of breath, lying on the ground like a dog, panting heavily, and no longer had the mind to do anything to the beauty.

After such a night of trouble, Pang Lejun was restless all night, and his heart trembled. They had never encountered such a weird thing. They didn't know who the enemy was, how many people came, or even how they came.

Therefore, various gossips spread in the city. The most convincing is the ghost story made up by an expert. The content is roughly like this. It is said that in ancient times, a certain country's army was stationed on this mountain, but it was overnight. In between, the soldiers died strangely, all bleeding from seven holes, and their death was terrifying. The dead soldiers are still in the shadows, and they beat the gongs and drums every night as usual, so there will be such a movement.

As for why there was no such a sound before, the expert said that it was estimated that those ghosts had something to go out at that time, and then they came back again. Not to mention how weird the story is, anyway, as long as someone believes it, it spread all over the army for a while, even Pang Le heard it, scared him to sit on the ground holding the quilt, shivering all night. Did not dare to close his eyes.

Early the next morning, Pang Le led people around to search, but there was nothing, not even a personal shadow. The soldiers died and believed the rumor. At three shifts that night, the gongs and drums on the opposite mountain rang again, and the shouts came again. The wind was miserable and ghostly, and it sounded very scary. Pang Lejun stayed up all night again, his eyes wide open, for fear of ghosts coming to kill people.

In these three days, Pang Lejun was exhausted one by one, and his heart was split. The little beauty who accompanied Pang Le was scared to death the next night because she couldn't bear the fright. Pang Le's concentration was slightly better, and by the third day, his old face was deformed with fright, and he was talking nonsense, and was a sign of a neurotic attack.

Early in the morning of the fourth day, Pang Le really didn't dare to stay any longer, and ran away first regardless of his soldiers. Seeing that the main generals are gone, the soldiers dared to stay again. They all learned from each other, and they all left in an instant. The towering Shuzhong Tianxian Mianzhu Pass was unguarded in an instant, allowing Liu Xun, who had only three thousand soldiers under him, to take advantage of it.

Liu Xun sent someone to discover that Pang Le was gone, smiled crookedly, and led the three thousand soldiers hidden in the dark corner of the woods into Mianzhu Pass. The three thousand soldiers didn't think that they could win a dangerous pass just by pretending to be scary. The little pawn who took advantage of the chaos and mixed into the ghost story for a walk in the gate was regarded as a god by them. Everyone rushed forward and threw him up and tossed to express their respect for him.

The original residence of Pang Le has now become Liu Xun's temporary residence. After Pang Tong received the news from Liu Xun, he led his army into Mianzhuguan.

Liu Xun sat in front of the case, his eyes slightly closed, and his fingers kept beating on the case. Pang Tong was in the seat below, drinking a small wine. Just as they were intoxicated, the Fa was stepping into the house. Seeing their weird look, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said, "Duke Ming, military division, I have served you. These three thousand soldiers are better than fifty thousand soldiers in your hands."

Liu Xun opened his eyes, sighed, and said, "It was forced out." After all, I only have these 70,000 horses. I will have to fight Zhang Lu in the future, and even compete with Cao Cao in the future, so I can't lose it prematurely. . "

Fazheng sighed: "The general is so wise and martial, and Uncle Liu will be very pleased to know how to be in the spring."

Liu Xun said: "All this is the result of the strategy of the military division and the lives of all the soldiers."

Fazheng said: "Ming Gong values talents so much. He is courageous, trustworthy and dedicated, and his mind is not small. Alas, it is much better than Liu Yizhou."

Pang Tongjiu on the side also drank similarly, interjecting and asked: "I always hear people say that Liu Jiyu is weak and incompetent. Is that really the case?"

Fazheng nodded and said, "The military division has met a good lord, and he obeyed his words, and his revenge can also be displayed. Alas, if the military division followed Liu Yizhou, he would be alive and well."

Pang Tong asked, "Why is that?"

Fazheng said, "It's not that I said bad things about the lord. Alas, he is too...too... confused. He listens and believes, and is incomprehensible. This Pang Xi has no merit, but just has an old relationship with the lord, so he was sealed. He was the prefect of Brazil and supported his soldiers. Now even the lord can’t help him. With this Zhao Yun, he originally had no intention of rebelling against the chaos. It was only because Nanyang soldiers had always been arrogant and invaded the people in Shu, Zhao Yun’s admonition was invalid. What the hell is Liu Yizhou, Ming Gong and the military division will know when they meet."

Liu Xun said, "Such a stupid person is in vain to be the owner!"

Fazheng looked around, walked forward, and whispered in Liu Xun’s ear: "This time Zhao Wei has attacked Yizhou, and both sides are too busy to take care of themselves. With the wisdom of the public, if they want to repeat the two families, they will take Xishu. , To blame..."

Liu Xun was shocked when he heard the words, turned his head abruptly, stared at the Fa for a long while, and said: "I have thought about it, but if I act rashly like this, I will be discredited, and the people will be chilling."

Pang Tong looked at his opinion, and asked: "You and Zhang Yongnian are obviously courtiers under Liu Jiyu, why do you want him to die soon?"

Fazheng shook his head, walked back and forth twice, and sighed: "I read less poems and books. Although I am not as good as a military teacher, I still have some means. Chang Si does a career under the master of Ming. Director of the exhibition. How did he know that after he voted for Liu Yizhou, he didn't listen to his words and was assigned a spare job. So far, he can only look at the sky and sigh.

Pang Tong said: "Understood, Xiaozhi also wants to take refuge in my lord, there is nothing wrong with it. Come and vote for my lord, he can't lose you under his hands."

After hearing the Fazheng, I felt thoughtful and didn't know what to plan...
