Huang Quan left the State Shepherd's Mansion, but did not return to his own mansion, but turned to Liu Wei's mansion. It was already one o'clock at this time, the street was quiet, and most of the lights were extinguished. When the carriage stopped in front of Liu Wei's mansion, the porter who was supposed to be asleep accidentally opened the side door, poked his head out and asked, "Who is it?"

Huang Quan couldn't help sneering, Liu Wei made the concierge watch the movement outside at such a late hour, isn't he a little guilty?

"It's me!" Huang Quan said to the porter: "I know your master is not asleep, tell him, I want to see him immediately."

The concierge rushed away, Huang Quan also walked into the side door and waited. After a while, Liu Wei rushed over. He was well dressed and did not rest. Liu Wei asked nervously, "Don't drive, what happened?"

Huang Quan glanced at the servants around him, and said coldly, "This is not a place to talk."

"Please come to my study to talk."

Liu Wei hurriedly invited Huang Quan to the study, served him a cup of tea, and asked uneasily, "Don't drive, what happened?"

"Hmph! Do you still want to ask me what you did yourself?"

Liu Wei's expression was a little unnatural, he avoided Huang Quan's sharp scrutiny with a guilty conscience, and said, "I don't understand what you mean by don't drive?" [

Huang Quan looked at him for a moment, then got up suddenly and said, "In that case, I won't bother you to rest, please leave!"

He turned around and left, so frightened that Liu Wei quickly stopped him, bowing again and again, "Don't drive, please stay, I'm telling the truth!"

Huang Quan sat down again, staring at him, "Say it! What did you do?"

Liu Wei Nai could only sigh and said, "I bought Wang Yi with a thousand taels of gold, ordered him to assassinate Sima Yi, and planted it on my elder brother. I just got the news from another subordinate that Wang Yi missed and did not succeed in the assassination."

"Sure enough, you did it!"

With a cold snort, Huang Quan said, "I think Liu Xun might send someone to monitor him, but he will never be so stupid as to assassinate the Jingzhou military division. It can only be done by you."

Huang Quan's questioning attitude made Liu Wei feel uncomfortable, and he also asked coldly: "Don't drive, do you want to accuse me of guilt?"

Huang Quan sighed for a long time, "You are just lucky. Your father actually decided that it was Mr. Xun who did it. He was furious, beat and scolded him, and finally deprived him of the qualification to lead troops to Hanzhong. Of course, this is on my behalf." Under reminder."

This news made Liu Wei both surprised and happy. He suddenly realized that his attitude towards Huang Quan was wrong, and he hurriedly apologized again, "I saluted Biejia just now, and I apologized to Biejia again!"

Huang Quan waved his hand, "I don't care about your attitude, but I want you to tell me the truth. If you don't tell the truth, I will lose many opportunities to help you. I might as well tell you son, I have persuaded your father, Let you lead the troops to march north to Hanzhong."

Speaking of this, Huang Quan showed a smug smile on his face, Liu Wei was overjoyed, he knelt down, bowed his whole body to the ground, and said gratefully: "Don't drive me, I will remember it in my heart."

"You don't have to thank me, you just have to remember one thing, as long as you follow Prime Minister Cao's order and deal with Liu Jing with all your strength, then Prime Minister Cao will definitely support you as Yizhou shepherd. Prime Minister Cao is the court, and with the support of the court, you still worry what?"

Liu Wei nodded silently, "If you don't drive, I will remember it!"

On the next morning, Liu Zhang formally replied to Sima Yi. He decided to implement the agreement between the two parties and send troops to Hanzhong. Sima Yi left Chengdu and returned to Jingzhou that day.

Liu Zhang then appointed his second son Liu Wei as the general who conquered the north, and Wu Yi as the deputy general. The two led an army of [-] to march through the Jianmen way to conquer Hanzhong in the north. The war also kicked off in Bashu. [

In Badong County, an army of about 5000 people is also marching east along the rugged official road. This army is the Badong Army led by Pang Xi. The Badong Army has about 1 people. This army is not Liu Zhang's army was an army formed by Dongzhou scholars in the fifth year of Jian'an when they resisted Zhao Wei's rebellion. They killed Zhao Wei in Bajun. That year, Liu Zhang formally took control of Bashu. The young Gan Ning escaped from Bashu to rebel against Zhao Wei and became the Jinfan thief.

This army composed of Dongzhou people remained, and was gradually mastered by Pang Xi, who became the reliance of Dongzhou scholars in Bashu for survival. In the eighth year of Jian'an, Pang Xi was forced out of Chengdu and served as the prefect of Badong. This army also became the Padang Army.

This is the spring of the 15th year of Jian'an. When the fate of Bashu was once again rolled by the wheel of history, the Badong Army also left Badong County and went to Jianping County. According to the agreement between Jing and Shu, Yizhou had sent troops to Hanzhong. Jianping County will also be taken over.

When Hanzhong officially belongs to Jingzhou, Liu Jing will return Yidu County to Bashu. This is also the return of the two counties occupied by Liu Biao during the civil strife in Bashu in the fifth year of Jian'an.

Pang Xi was riding on a war horse, and the moonlight shone on his pale and slender face. There was no expression on his face, and he stared coldly at the official road ahead. According to the order Liu Jing gave him, he should put a Wan Badong's troops were all brought to Jianping County, but Pang Xi did not do so. He did not fully obey Liu Jing's order, but only led [-] troops to Jianping County.

He has been operating Badong County for seven years. He has too many interests there, and he can't give up. He left Deng Zhi and his confidant general Li Yao to guard Badong County, and he himself went to take over Jianping County. Badong County is rich, Jianping County is just the barren Three Gorges, there are only four county towns, and more than [-]% of the county's terrain is continuous mountains, which he doesn't like very much.

Pang Xi also didn't like the orders Liu Jing gave him. Who was he? The first elder in Yizhou, who was once the governor of the imperial court. Even Liu Zhang was supported by him to be the lord of Yizhou. They also regard him as a younger brother, and Liu Jing is just a younger generation who rose later. When Pang Xi Jianan went to Jingzhou in the sixth year, Liu Biao just had the idea to bring his nephew from his hometown to Jingzhou.

Now Liu Jing is actually issuing orders on his head, without discussing with him, and directly giving orders, completely forgetting that Pang Xi is not yet a subject of Jingzhou, and Liu Jing is just a junior who has just become the shepherd of Jingzhou, why should I listen to him Order.

Although Pang Xi was somewhat dissatisfied with Liu Jing's order, he did not refuse Dongjin Jianping in the end. He also knew that this was the overall situation of the Jingzhou Army. Jianping County gave it to him, and he was also happy to accept this unexpected gift.

Driven by this ambivalence of worrying about gains and losses, Pang Xi led five thousand troops and marched eastward according to Liu Jing's order.

It is not far from Yufu County to Wucheng, the distance is only forty miles. Walking along the rugged official road by the river, after more than two hours, the army led by Pang Xi arrived under Wucheng. The high terrain is also condescending to Bashu, and the terrain is dangerous, which cuts off the official road going east, and pedestrians and caravans going east have to pass through the city.

At this time, the guard of Wucheng is still Lieutenant Liu Zheng. He led five hundred eagle strikers and two thousand reorganized Jingnan descendants to guard the most dangerous mountain city on the Jingshu road. Just three days ago, Sima Yi returned to Jingzhou from Wucheng and handed Liu Jing's order to him. The order was very clear. Jianping County would be handed over to Pang Xi, and Liu Zheng led his army to retreat eastward to Yidu County.

At this time, the West City Gate opened, and Liu Zheng came out to welcome him. He cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Excuse me, is Governor Pang here?"

Pang Xi glanced at this thin Jingzhou famous general. He did not dismount, but rode on the horse and said calmly: "I am Pang Xi!"

Pang Xi's indifferent attitude made Liu Zheng a little uncomfortable. He held back his displeasure, and said again: "I am ordered by my lord to hand over Wucheng to Prefect Pang. Please enter the city and go through the handover procedures with me!"

Pang Xi frowned and asked, "Isn't Master Sima in the city?"

"He left three days ago, and I am in full charge of the entire Jianping County."

"I thought he would hand over Jianping County to me!"

Pang Xi snorted dissatisfiedly, and urged the horse to go into the city. At this moment, Sun Yan, under Liu Zheng's subordinates, was enraged by Pang Xi's courtesy and almost drew his sword. Liu Zheng held him down and ordered in a low voice: : "Don't be impulsive, we will leave after handing over the errand."

Liu Zheng also rode into the city on horseback, and drove with Pang Xi, and introduced the situation in the city to him, "There are 560 households in the city, and my army is [-] people. There are also people from Zigui and Xinling counties. [-] defenders, I will take all the troops away, and no one will be left behind. In addition, there are [-] shi of grain, [-] dans of fodder, and more than [-] mules and horses in the official warehouses in the city. Leave it to Prefect Pang."

When Pang Xi heard that he left all the food, grass, mules and horses for himself, his face looked better, and he forced a smile and said, "Then thank you General Liu, let's go through the formalities!"

"Prefect Pang, please follow me!"

Berkshire is also known as Chongqing in later generations. As the governor of Berkshire, Yan Yan has been stationed in Berkshire for eight years. At the same time, the Yan family is also a Berkshire family with a sphere of influence all over Badi.

Originally, Badong County was also the sphere of influence of the Yan family, which controlled the commerce and shipping of Yufu County. Being excluded from Badong County, from a personal point of view, Yan Yan and Pang Xi have always had a grudge, and the two have never had any contact since the eighth year of Jian'an.

On the other hand, when Zhao Wei rebelled, Yan Yan was Zhao Wei's general at first. He once led a fierce battle with the Dongzhou Army led by Pang Xi, defeated the Dongzhou Army, and killed several Dongzhou children. Thousands of people, although Yan Yan surrendered to Liu Zhang later, the enmity between the two was also forged at that time.

Liu Zhang was secretly jealous of Pang Xi, fearing that he would collude with Liu Biao and betray the interests of Yizhou, so he used Yan Yan and Pang Xi's enmity and secretly ordered Yan Yan to monitor Pang Xi. Pang Xi also knew that it was for this reason that they The enmity between the two has no room for relaxation.

In the military yamen, Yan Yan got the news that Pang Xi led the army to Jianping County, and immediately ordered someone to invite his staff member Peng Yi. As soon as Peng Yi entered the door, he smiled and said, "If I'm not wrong, there should be someone from Badong County. news."

Yan Yan nodded, "I just got the news that Pang Xi led [-] troops to Wucheng, and Yufu County only has [-] troops. Do you think I can send troops to Badong immediately?"

According to the strategy they discussed last time, as soon as Pang Xi's army left Padang, they would immediately march to occupy Padang, and now the opportunity came.

Peng Yi pondered for a moment and said: "It is morally untenable to send troops to Badong now. After all, Pang Xi was ordered by Liu Zhang to take over Jianping County. I suggest that the general wait a little longer. Once Liu Jing's army advances westward, Pang Xi As long as Xinling County is sacrificed, we can send troops to Badong under the pretext that Pang Xi colluded with Jingzhou, and the reason is very sufficient."

Yan Yan stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Sir, what I said is exactly what I want. I think the state pastor will definitely send an order. We might as well wait patiently."
