Fazheng sighed: "Bazhong has not yet been decided, so we should not damage the harmony at this time. Since General Zhang is just making a show, why doesn't the talented scholar Yuan stop him?"

Pang Tong tugged at his beard and chuckled: "A little conflict does not harm the overall situation, but if the matter is not bigger, how can Chengdu know about it? Yan Yan is respectable and loyal, but he has repeatedly resisted orders. There is a gap between the emperor and his ministers, and we can take advantage of it.

.”

Fazheng's eyes flashed, he nodded and said with a smile: "The matter in Yizhou should not be handled too hastily. If it is urgent, it must be done according to the facts, and it must not be postponed for a long time. If it is too late, it will be changeable. Now it is just right to be neither hasty nor slow."

Zhang Feihuan's eyes widened: "I think this plan is quite clever. How dare you two be one level higher than me?"

Fazheng laughed and said: "Shi Yuan is still on the third floor, Feng Chu is indeed well-deserved!"

Zhang Fei slapped his head with a big hand: "With the military advisor here, I shouldn't use this thing. It gives me a headache and makes me angry in vain."

Fa Zheng said: "To the west of Dianjiang is Langzhong, and to the north you can reach Dangqu. The general can take advantage of the time of transporting grain to discuss the dispatch of troops. Meng Da and I will go to Langzhong first to find out the actual situation, and then we can act expediently."

Zhang Fei was convinced, so he sent out the food and wine to reward the soldiers, and sent an order to transfer grain from Jiangzhou. The troops temporarily stayed in Dianjiang to wait for news.

Only one day after Fazheng left, Liu Qi sent someone to deliver the news that Micang Road had been successfully captured, and informed Pang Tong that there was no need to send troops in Bazhong, and that as long as the army pressed down to deter him, changes would occur internally.

Pang Tong took out the map and discussed with Zhang Fei and others: "Since ancient times, there is actually not only Jiange Road to enter Shu. In addition to Jinniu Road, there is also Micang Road. Jiange strangles the throat of Jinniu Road, and Micang Road can lead to Langzhong. We can break it here.

Bajun is already in the bag!"

Zhang Fei said anxiously: "My eldest son, they took Hanzhong and Micang Road. We must act quickly. If we are late, we won't even be able to drink soup."

Gan Ning also said: "After autumn, there is a lot of rain in Bashan. If we don't send troops early, once it rains, it will last as little as half a month and as much as a month. The roads will collapse and floods will spread. I'm afraid it will be delayed until after winter."

Pang Tong smiled and said: "The eldest son has already made arrangements with Zhang Wei and the Ba people. There is no need to use troops in Bazhong. Our target is still in Langzhong."

Zhang Fei said discouraged: "In that case, there is no need to fight anymore."

Pang Tong shook his head and said: "Otherwise, when the troops enter Langzhong, it will be a battle."

Zhang Fei was overjoyed and hurriedly urged Pang Tong to make a plan. Pang Tong ordered Zhang He to lead five thousand elite troops in Jin and attack Danqu along the Ba River. When they reached the county, there was no need to advance troops. As long as the Ba people did not come, they would garrison and wait.

Zhang He said: "If we just bluff and guard against the Ba people, one person is enough. The war leader is in Yizhou, and Wen Ze can go with General Zhang."

Pang Tong told: "The two generals seem to be suspicious, but in fact they have another important purpose: Yan Yan is guarding Dianjiang and is hostile to us. Once there is a change, it is very likely that he will send troops to cut off our retreat and attack Jiangzhou instead."

The two generals here are actually monitoring Dianjiang. After Bazhong is pacified, the two generals can return to Jiangzhou nearby and march directly to Yizhou."

Zhang He, at the beginning of the ban, thought they were surrendered generals, but Liu Qi refused to reuse them. After listening to Pang's statistics, he suddenly realized and accepted the order happily.

Pang Tong wrote another secret envelope and put it in the brocade bag and handed it to Yu Jin: "The eldest son told me that General Yu has organized the troops well and set up defenses for the main general. If the Ba people come to attack, General Zhang will meet the enemy. When the Ba people arrive in Dangqu,

Contact us, then open the bag of tips and act according to the plan."

Yu Jin wondered: "If we want to prevent the Ba people from attacking, why do the Ba people come to contact us?"

Pang Tong smiled and said: "The Ba people have seven surnamed Yi kings who are nobles. They have been corrupted for a long time and there is internal discord. The eldest son is planning to rectify it. When it is completed, people will come to see them."

Yu Jin accepted the order and sighed with emotion: "The last general followed Bao Ji in the north to attack Dong, determined to revive the Han Dynasty, but his ambition was not fulfilled, and the middle road collapsed. I always feel regret. Now I see General Liu strategizing and winning thousands of miles. This is

Since heaven will never stop Liu Si, why worry about the Han Dynasty not flourishing?"

Zhang He glanced at Yu Jin and secretly lamented that he didn't study well back then and always suffered the consequences of being uneducated. This time when he was leading troops with Yu Jin, he wanted to humbly ask him for advice on the art of speaking.

When Yu Jin was in Cao's camp, he always said that he would do his best for the Cao family for generations, and he was highly regarded by Cao Cao. Except for Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun, the most trusted general among the generals with foreign surnames was Yu Jin.

Now that he has switched his allegiance to Liu Qi, and his allegiance to the Han Dynasty, he has changed his master three times, and he still has to come up with a good excuse to get rid of this embarrassing status as soon as possible.

When the grain and grass arrived, Zhang Fei's troops divided into two groups and marched to Langzhong before arriving at Nanchong. Pang Xi had already sent his son Pang Zhe to personally greet him from afar. The grain, grass and equipment were all available, and he was warm, considerate and impeccable.

Zhang Fei asked: "We haven't arrived in Langzhong yet, why should Governor Pang be so polite?"

Pang Zhe said with a smile: "The general has traveled thousands of miles to help in the war, so he should be treated with hospitality and show his friendship as a landlord. If my father was not old and unable to travel long distances, he would have personally come to Nanchong to greet him."

Zhang Fei glared and said: "I have admired your great name for a long time, and there is no need for him to come. It will be the same when I go to Langzhong."

Pang Zhe said: "Now that the thieves' power is declining, it is time to exterminate them with all their strength. Otherwise, the rainy season is coming and will be delayed for a long time, and they will revive again and all the previous achievements will be wasted. Fa Xiaozhi has set out with the Langzhong troops and asked the general to take Hanchang directly from Nanchong. The two armies

We will meet up in time, and after the thieves are eliminated, my father will go to Hanchang in person to express his gratitude to the general and Liu Cheqi."

Zhang Fei snorted slightly and wanted to have a fit but couldn't find the reason, so he had to lower his head and drink, letting Pang Tong make the decision.

Pang Tong asked: "I heard that there are often heavy rains and floods in Bazhong. When they occur, strong winds sweep the ground, landslides and ground cracks. I don't know what the road is from Nanchong to Hanchang?"

Pang Zhe replied: "This place is far from Bazhong. Although there are mountains separating it, the mountains are far less complex than Daba Mountain. There has been an official road for a long time. The rainy season has not yet arrived. If we set off early, we can reach Bazhong safely."

"

Pang Tong thanked him, and everyone exchanged cups. Pang Zhe persuaded him diligently and showed all his courtesy. As the saying goes, if you don't hit someone with a smiling face, the banquet will end happily.

After arriving at the hotel, Zhang Fei said worriedly: "This Pang Yi seems to be welcoming me attentively, but he doesn't want me to enter Langzhong. It seems that the old thief is on guard. He is more tactful and deep than Yan Yan. I'm afraid he won't."

Easy to deal with."

Gan Ning sneered and said: "Pang Xi wants to ask us to go straight to Bazhong. If Zhang Wei is defeated, there will be no reason to enter Langzhong, and we can defend Brazil and protect ourselves calmly. The old thief is indeed cunning."

Pang Tong smiled and said: "Two generals, don't be impatient. Since Fa Xiaozhi agreed to send troops, I guess he has already made a plan. Although Pang Xi is on tight guard against the outside world, there is Fa Xiaozhi secretly adding fuel to the flames. Is there any reason why it can't happen?"

"This is really a precautionary measure, family... cough cough," Gan Ning seemed to be choking on his tea, and changed his words: "No matter how scheming the old thief is, he can't stop what people want. This means that there will be many helpers when he is successful, and there is little help when he is wrong!

"

Zhang Fei chuckled and asked: "So, do you still have to go to Bazhong?"

Pang Tong nodded and said: "First send troops to Bazhong and meet up with Fa Xiaozhi. This will intimidate Zhang Wei so that the eldest son can use his plan calmly. Then we will discuss countermeasures and make the old thief obediently give up the land of Brazil."
