Chapter 1333 Feng Chu's legacy plans to break Luocheng
There was another melee after that: Luocheng guard Liu Quan fought out and intercepted Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun and others, but Liu Bei and Guan Yu led the Chinese army to meet them and wanted to escape back to their stronghold; Zhang Ren was driven out from the alley and led the victorious troops.
Soldiers, another battle.
Liu Bei's army encountered an ambush and was demoralized. He could not withstand it at first. Fortunately, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and other powerful lord-level generals personally cut off the rear and killed the pursuers, allowing Liu Bei to return to the camp safely.
Before Liu Bei could take a breath, he saw that Pang Tong had been hit by three arrows. He burst into tears and ordered medical officers to diagnose and treat him.
Pang Tong coughed and said: "My lord, there is no need to embarrass the medical officer. Today's fate is destiny... It is all the retribution I got for relying on the skill of praying for personal gain and harming others."
Liu Bei asked in confusion: "Why did the military advisor say this?" He waved his hand to the left and right to withdraw.
Pang Tong said: "My lord, do you know how Xiliang Ma Teng died?"
Liu Bei said: "There is no conclusion about this public case. Some people say that it was Zhang Lu from Hanzhong, while others said that it was Yuan Xi from Hebei who used Taoist magic to curse Ma Teng to death."
Pang Tong shook his head: "I did it."
Liu Bei was surprised and said: "Why is the military advisor like this?"
Pang Tong sighed and said:
"My lord, I was invited by Kong Ming to assist my lord. I wanted to help my lord rise up in troubled times and help the world. But I didn't expect that the situation changed so fast. Before we had a foothold in Jingzhou, Yuan Xi had already destroyed Cao Cao and unified the Central Plains.
form a climate.
"If nothing is done and Yuan Xi is given time to reorganize his internal affairs, after consolidating the north, he will inevitably go south to Jingzhou to unify the world. The lord's ambition and our wisdom will be useless.
"So, I took advantage of Ma Teng's injury to pray for the stars. Through two curses, Ma Teng died in Yedu. At the same time, I asked Xu Shu to go to Hanzhong under a pseudonym to persuade Zhang Lu to give up the third assistant; Jian Yong secretly went to Xiliang.
Put the blame on Yuan Xi, and then Ma Chao will send troops to the Central Plains to free up precious time for us."
Liu Bei was displeased and said: "This move by the military advisor will harm the peace of the world and is not the behavior of a gentleman!"
Pang Tong coughed repeatedly and said with a hint of apology: "It is indeed the subject who made the claim without permission. My lord, you are the Lord of benevolence and cannot bear this stain. But if no one does this, Yuan Xi will really want to unify the world."
Liu Bei asked: "Does Kong Ming know about this?"
Pang Tong slowly shook his head: "Whether Kong Ming is making plans or commanding troops, he is cautious and prudent. He can be called a 'kingly counselor'. He will definitely not agree to such a risky plan, so I can only do it. I
Kong Ming was not informed in advance, but with his intelligence, he must be able to guess some clues based on the subsequent development of things."
Liu Bei sighed: "The military advisor did this all for me. Although I don't know it, it is no different from what I did personally. There is no need for the military advisor to say more. Recuperate well and the future will be long."
Then he blamed Zhao Yun: "What should I arrange for you to do? You must protect the army and divisions! But now..."
Zhao Yun could only kneel down on one knee, bowed his head and apologized: "The military advisor was injured because I failed to protect him. My lord, I will punish you, but Yun Jue will not say anything."
Pang Tong shook his head and said:
"My lord, I have no future. The art of praying for blessings is originally the art of luck, borrowing the fortune from the heaven for your own benefit. The more you ask for, the more serious the backlash will be. Not to mention the harm done by borrowing the heaven and earth's fortune.
People will suffer a great loss in life expectancy.
"After Ma Teng's death, I often couldn't sleep at night. There was always an apparition in front of my eyes of an innocent soul demanding his life. Even if I hadn't been injured by an arrow today, I wouldn't have survived for at most ten years! Moreover, what I encountered today at Luofengpo was really destined by God.
There is no way to avoid this disaster. My lord, you must not blame General Zilong for this, he has already tried his best."
After a pause, Pang Tong began to explain the funeral arrangements.
"My lord, Yizhou is the foundation that our army must seize. Even if there are thousands of difficulties and dangers, we cannot give up. Luocheng is not difficult to break now. My lord only needs to do this, and it will be conquered. However, the follow-up attack on Mianzhu and Chengdu,
I can't help you. However, Xu Shu is as talented as me. My lord can use him as a military advisor to continue the great cause of conquering Sichuan."
Pang Tong told Liu Bei the strategy.
With tears in his eyes, Liu Bei nodded and said, "I will bear in mind the military advisor's heartfelt words."
Pang Tong added: "Liu Zhang will not sit still and wait for death. He will definitely collude with Yuan's army to cut off our army's return route. Jiameng Pass and Fushui Pass are our army's last retreat. My lord must send generals to guard them."
Liu Bei nodded again and again.
Pang Tong's big mung bean eyes stared at the sky, as if he had seen some mirage before he died. He raised his hand with difficulty, fished it out in the void, and finally dropped it slumped.
Feng Chu Pang Tong died.
Liu Bei burst into tears. Zhao Yun also had tears in his eyes, and his face was full of self-blame and guilt. The other officers and soldiers of the three armies also lowered their heads and remained silent.
"Brother, please have my condolences! Unfortunately, the military advisor has died prematurely, but the plan to control Sichuan cannot be stopped. Do you want to go to Jingzhou and invite military advisor Zhuge to come over?"
Now the only one who can persuade Liu Bei is Guan Yu.
Liu Bei held back his tears and said: "Advisor Zhuge is guarding the five counties and cities in Jingzhou to guard against Sun Ce and Yuan Xi. Don't move lightly. You can rest assured that before he died, Administrative Officer Pang had already made a plan to defeat Luocheng."
Liu Bei then told Xu Shu about Pang Tong's final plan.
Xu Shu nodded and said: "Shi Yuan's dying plan is extremely feasible, and my lord can do it."
…
After the death of military advisor Pang Tong, Liu Bei's three armies mourned and there was a rumor that they would withdraw to Fushui Pass.
After hearing this, the generals in Luocheng discussed: "If Liu Bei returns to Fushui Pass, builds up his morale, and makes a comeback, it will not be easy to resist him. It is better to take advantage of them to return home and rob the stronghold at night. If we can kill Liu Bei, then I will
The army no longer has any worries."
That night, the generals in Luocheng each led an army and quietly set out to Liu Bei's camp.
After Bai Xiaowen found out, he took Li Shuyi back to Hanzhong.
"Don't you want to read it?" Li Shuyi asked.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head: "Don't look at it. The defender of Luocheng, after a small victory, began to underestimate the enemy, completely forgetting the fear of Liu Bei's army. In this battle, Luocheng will inevitably fall, and then Liu Bei's troops can be directed
Mianzhu threatens Chengdu. The time has come for our army to enter, and we cannot delay it any longer."
Sure enough, Bai Xiaowen took Li Shuyi back to Nanzheng, and the report of the battle in Luocheng was sent by Tan Ma.
After the defenders of Luocheng were lured out by Liu Bei, Liu Bei sent Guan Yu to attack Luocheng and kill the defender Liu Quan.
As for the three generals Lingbao, Zhang Ren, and Wu Yi who left the city, they fell into an ambush plan. Three generals, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Wei Yan, rushed out. Lingbao was beheaded, and Zhang Ren and Wu Yi were captured.
As a result, Wu Yi surrendered and Zhang Renning refused to surrender and was beheaded by Liu Bei's army.
Luocheng fell into the hands of Liu Bei.
Bai Xiaowen's army also sent troops from Nanzheng, passed through Bazhong, and marched all the way to Jiameng Pass, officially joining the war for Xichuan!
