The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 669 Chapter 668
The sudden appearance of Zhang Fei surprised Pang Xi. He saw that Zhang Fei was dressed in Qiang costume and spoke with a northern accent. The single Qiang people may have deliberately pretended to be Qiang people and mixed with Leng Bao's army, just like when he saw Liu Xun wearing Qiang people's clothes.

"This is..." Pang Xi felt a little vigilance in his heart, and involuntarily took two steps back, turned his face and said to Leng Bao.

Leng Bao was about to introduce Zhang Fei, just opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Zhang Fei bowed his hands to Pang Xi respectfully and said: "I'm Zhang Fei, I have met the prefect Pang."

"Who?" Pang Xi was very surprised when he heard the word Zhang Fei, "You said your name was Zhang Fei? But Zhang Fei Zhang Yide?"

Zhang Fei nodded heavily and said, "I'm right here."

Pang Xi's originally gloomy face suddenly showed a bright smile, walked straight in front of Zhang Fei, cupped his hands respectfully and said: "I have heard about General Zhang's reputation for a long time, but I have never seen it before. I never imagined that I would be here today." meet under such circumstances..."

As soon as the words fell, Pang Xi turned his face and said to Leng Bao with a bit of complaint: "Brother Leng Xian, you hide really deep enough. I never expected that even the famous General Zhang, the enemy of thousands of people, is also in your house." In the army..."

Leng Bao smiled embarrassedly and said: "Prefect Pang, you made a mistake. It's not that General Zhang is in my army, but that I am now subordinate to General Zhang. Actually, I should be called the lord."

Pang Xi was shocked again, his eyes were wide open, and Leng Bao's words were still echoing in his ears. He looked at Zhang Fei and Leng Bao in disbelief, feeling that he was putting the cart before the horse.

In Pang Xi's eyes, Zhang Fei was a criminal who was wanted by the whole country of the Han Dynasty, and he was wanted with a reward, and the reward was very attractive.But Pang Xi never imagined that a criminal wanted all over the country would become Leng Bao's lord.If Zhang Fei really became Leng Bao's protagonist, then what does Zhang Fei's appearance here mean?
Pang Xi was an opportunist from beginning to end. When Liu Yan had just pacified Yizhou, Liu Yan's son and grandsons were in Chang'an. Later, Liu Yan's son Liu Dan participated in the plot to get rid of Li Jue and Guo Si, and the matter was revealed. Later, Liu Dan was also killed. Pang Xi was serving as a councilor in the imperial court at that time. He saw the right time, scattered all his wealth, recruited soldiers secretly, and protected all Liu Yan's grandsons, making Liu Yan's grandsons not be persecuted.After that, Pang Xi resigned from his post as Yilang, took the whole family with him, and escorted Liu Yan's grandsons to Yizhou after all the hard work on the grounds of relocation.

Liu Yan was very grateful for Pang Xi's actions, and from then on he trusted Pang Xi as a confidant.After Liu Yan's death, Liu Zhang succeeded to the throne. Pang Xi once again mobilized his speculative psychology and offered to marry his daughter to Liu Zhang's son Liu Xun. In this way, the relationship between himself and the Liu family was brought closer.In addition, Pang Xi once drew a clear line with Dongzhou soldiers for the purpose of protecting himself wisely.

Facts have proved that every step Pang Xi took was so precise. Now, after seeing Zhang Fei appearing, Pang Xi seems to have realized that Yizhou will undergo earth-shaking changes.Zhang Fei would not enter Sichuan for no reason, and even Leng Bao had surrendered to Zhang Fei's tent, so Zhang Fei was the only one he could rely on.

Therefore, Pang Xi didn't ask the reason of Leng Bao and Zhang Fei, but just cupped his hands and said to Zhang Fei: "General Zhang is brave and good at fighting. If General Zhang doesn't dislike me, I, Pang Xi, would like to follow General Zhang from now on, work like a cow and a horse, and work hard without complaint."

Zhang Fei was also surprised when he heard Pang Xi's words. He never expected that just now, Leng Bao was still talking about trying to persuade Pang Xi to surrender, but now Pang Xi unexpectedly came to submit to him.

Zhang Fei was stunned for a while, and then asked: "Prefect Pang, do you know my purpose of entering Shu?"

"I don't know, and my subordinates don't need to know. The subordinates only know that it is very difficult to get a famous master now. I have been in Yizhou for more than ten years, and I seem to be waiting for a famous master like General Zhang." , as if it had been arranged in the dark, it's God's will!" Pang Xi said.

Anyone who hears this will be in a good mood. Everyone will feel very comfortable after hearing Pang Xi's words, and Zhang Fei is no exception. It’s good to know the time.”

Although Pang Xi is talented, he is also very flattering, and he is very good at judging people, at least since he decided to protect Liu Yan's grandson, until now, so many years have passed, not only has he lived in peace, but his status has also become more and more Taller.

For him, there is no loyalty, only interests, about his own interests.

"My lord, just now you said that we should strike first, should we gather all the soldiers and horses now to kill Gao Pei and Yang Huai by surprise?" Leng Bao asked.

Zhang Fei said: "The speed of the soldiers is precious. Let's start now. If it is too late and Gao Pei and Yang Huai are aware of it, it will be terrible."

Pang Xi said worriedly: "Gao Pei and Yang Huai have 2 people in their hands, and you only have 1000 people. Can you successfully kill them?"

"There are not many soldiers, and they are expensive. Although Gao Pei and Yang Huai have many soldiers, they don't have many confidants. Not everyone is willing to work for them. As long as we act quickly, we can win more with less." Zhang Fei said.

Pang Xi asked again: "Then what about me, do I need to do anything?"

Zhang Fei thought for a while and said to Pang Xi, "Prefect Pang, can you open the city gate?"

Pang Xidao: "I am the prefect of this county. Although I don't have military power in my hands, and the guards at the city gates are all under Gao Pei and Yang Huai's subordinates, as long as I give them an order to open the city gates, these people still have to obey." I ordered."

Zhang Fei said: "That's good! Peng Tuo, come out."

Following Zhang Fei's cry, Peng Tuo came out from behind the screen, came to Zhang Fei's side, clasped his fists and said, "What's your order, my lord?"

"You and Prefect Pang go to open the city gate. Once the gate is opened, you go out of the city to inform Yan Yan, and let him lead the troops into the city quickly." Zhang Fei said.

"Here." Peng Tuo responded.

Pang Xi frowned, and his back was covered in cold sweat. Unexpectedly, even Yan Yan became Zhang Fei's subordinate.What made him feel even more frightening was that it turned out that Leng Bao sent Liu Xun to Luocheng, it was not that simple, but he wanted to take advantage of the occasion to infiltrate the city, and then cooperate with the inside and outside to take down Luocheng?
At this time, Pang Xi secretly rejoiced that he once again chose the correct position to stand on, otherwise, he and his family would very likely encounter disaster.

Zhang Fei said: "The matter is settled like this, we will work separately."

After the discussion, Zhang Fei and Leng Bao left the prefect's mansion and went straight to the barracks to join their subordinates.But Peng Tuo protected Pang Xi and went straight to the east gate of Luocheng.

Pang Xi was afraid of accidents, so he deliberately called many yamen servants to go with him. Although the combat effectiveness of the yamen servants was not very good, they could still help him for a while at critical moments. Run away in disorder.

However, the prefect's mansion was far from the city gate, but closer to the barracks. In addition, Zhang Fei and Leng Bao walked faster, so the two of them arrived at the barracks first.As soon as the two of them arrived at the barracks, they immediately summoned all their subordinates, and these people also waited in full force. After hearing the call, they gathered together without asking what they were going to do, just obeying the order.

These 1000 people are all the elite of Leng Bao's subordinates, and they only obey the orders of Leng Bao alone. Even if Zhang Fei gave the order, they would not obey.Therefore, if Leng Bao is half-hearted, Zhang Fei can be slaughtered here.

Some people also suggested that Zhang Fei take his subordinates into the city, worrying that Leng Bao would turn against him before the battle. After all, Leng Bao and Zhang Ren were too close.But this proposal was rejected by Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei even showed a fearless heart and a sense of trust that fully believed in Leng Bao.

Facts have proved that Leng Bao really has no second thoughts about Zhang Fei, otherwise, he would not have surrendered in the first place.

Leng Bao ordered all the soldiers and horses, and went to the barracks where Gao Pei and Yang Huai were together with Zhang Fei.

At this moment, Pang Xi led [-] yamen servants, and together with Peng Tuo, they had just arrived at the gate of Luocheng.

The army stationed at the gate of the city is Gao Pei's subordinates. Today Pang Xi is showing off his power here. When these troops saw Pang Xi coming, they dared not speak. Lord Eunuch, I don’t know what you can do if you don’t know that Your Majesty is visiting late at night?”

"I have something urgent and I need to leave the city. Open the city gate quickly." Pang Xi said confidently.

Jun Sima hesitated for a moment, then said: "Master Gao, Dudu Gao has ordered the last general, no one is allowed to open the city gate without Gao Dudu's order, this..."

"What about this and that? Do you still want to live? The eldest son suddenly developed a high fever. I was going outside the city to hire a famous doctor to treat the eldest son. The time for the treatment was delayed. What if the eldest son has a fever?" What's going on and what's wrong, aren't you afraid that Liu Shijun will punish your nine clans?"

The army Sima turned pale with fright, without saying a word, he stepped aside, let someone open the city gate, and let Pang Xi and others out of the city.

Unexpectedly, Pang Xi stood at the gate of the city with the yamen servants, and did not leave in a daze, but Peng Tuo went out alone.

Jun Sima felt a little curious, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions, and just stood quietly beside Pang Xi.

After a while, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes outside the city. Peng Tuo was the only one who left the city just now, but hundreds of cavalry came back, which made the defenders in the city panic.
