Yan Yan snorted coldly, "You are right, I think so too, but how can I do it, why don't I let Zhang Ren, Wu Yi and the others do it, but I want Yan Yan to be the evil person."

Yan Yan's tone was a little dissatisfied with Liu Zhang. He was a lord who followed the crowd and had no one's own opinion. Although Liu Jing was trying to plot against Bashu, he naively thought that Liu Jing had no intention of advancing westward and wanted to meet Liu Jing and talked to him. If he was confused like this, the day after Bashu was captured by the Jingzhou army was not far away.

At this time, Peng Xian pondered for a moment and said, "In fact, this is also an opportunity. Guard took the opportunity to eliminate Pang Xi, merge Badong County and Ba County, and the defensive power increased greatly. If Brazil County is captured again and Bazhou is united, Bashu will get half of it."

Yan Yan shook his head and said lightly: "I don't have such ambition. I just want to do my part. The governor of the state asked me to do two things. One is to take over Jianping County before Pang Xi, and the second is to seize Pang Xi's military power. Yongnian, let's think about these two things."

Peng Ying thought for a while and said, "There is no way to win the military power. If you want to seize the military power, you cannot seize the military power. If you want to seize the military power, you cannot seize the military power. The guard can only choose one of them."

"What if I choose Jianping County?" Yan Yan asked: "What's the best way?"

"I think it's better to choose to seize military power."

"Why" Yan Yan asked in confusion.

"It's very simple. If Liu Jing takes over Jianping County, he will never hand over Jianping County to the guard. He must have handed over to Pang Xi, so that it will be easier for him to take it back in the future. Once Pang Xi takes over Wucheng and Zigui counties, Badong County will be empty. The guard takes the opportunity to occupy Badong and remove Pang Xi's nest, so that he can give the provincial governor an explanation."

"But... the governor of the state just asked me to seize Pang Xi's military power, not to capture Badong County. What is it for me to capture Badong County?"

"Does Shou think we can seize Pang Xi's military power?"

Yan Yan shook his head, "This is impossible in the territory of Badong."

"Since this matter is obviously impossible, why did Zhang Ren, Wu Yi and others instigate Liu Zhang to let the guards seize Pang Xi's military power? It would be fine if Liu Zhang could not react. Could it be that Zhang Ren and Wu Yi could not react either?"

Yan Yan stopped asking in one sentence, and hesitated and asked: "They want Pang Xi and I to lose both sides."

Peng Wei nodded slowly, "I think this must be the case. We will definitely not be able to seize Pang Xi's military power. So wait patiently for the opportunity and seize Badong County when the troops are empty. At least you can give the provincial governor an explanation."

While the two were discussing, a soldier reported in front of the tent: "Qi reported to the old general Yan, a person came to surrender outside the camp. He said he was Fu Shiren, the garrison general of Wucheng."

Yan Yan and Peng Yan looked at each other, Wucheng Fu Shiren came to surrender, what does this mean

Peng Yi immediately realized, "It must be that there has been a change in Wucheng."

Yan Yan nodded and immediately ordered: "Take him to see me."

Soon, Fu Shiren was brought in by several soldiers. He fled from Wucheng. When he was young, he knew Yan Yan and came to surrender. He knelt down and cried, "Fu Shiren is nowhere to go, and begs the old general to include it in view of the past relationship."

Yan Yan quickly helped him up and asked, "Why did General Fu come? What happened to Wucheng?"

"Reported to the veteran general, Wucheng was attacked by Liu Jingying's army and was already trapped. The food in Zigui was cut off and I couldn't support it for a few days. I had no choice but to come and surrender to the veteran general."

Peng Xiao next to him asked in surprise: "Has Zigui's grain been cut off?"

Fu Shiren nodded, "Zigui has no food and there are so many troops, so I hope we can transport food. Now that Wucheng is in a trap, Zigui can only last for four days at most."

Peng Yi turned his eyes and said to Yan Yan: "If this is the case, Liu Jing will soon hand over the four counties of Wucheng, Zigui, Xinling and Xingshan to Pang Xi. We suggest that we temporarily withdraw our troops back to Ba County so that Pang Xi has no worries to accept these four counties, and then we will."

Yan Yan nodded slowly, "This plan is feasible."

............

In the confrontation with Wucheng, Pang Xi's army was stationed in the north of Yufu County. Yufu County is the capital of Badong County and the largest city after entering Bashu. It is the starting point of the Yangtze River Gorge. The famous Baidi City is located in Yufu County.

Pang Xi has been in Badong County for many years and its power has been mixed in Badong County. Liu Zhang once tried to transfer Pang Xi from Badong County several times but failed. The fundamental reason is that Pang Xi already had an army controlled by him in Badong County. There were 10,000 troops stationed in Badong, nominally the Bashu Army, but in fact it has become Pang Xi's private part.

At that time, the people of Dongzhou enthusiastically joined the army to participate in the battle against Zhao Wei. After the war, this army composed of Dongzhou people was always in control of Pang Xi.

Pang Xi is about fifty years old, tall and thin, dark skin, bright eyes, and looks very smart and capable.

Many people call Pang Xi the first veteran of Bashu. This sentence is not a false statement. Pang Xi was originally an important official under Liu Yan. He made great contributions during Liu Zhang's entry into Shu. At the same time, he also formed relatives with Liu Zhang. After Liu Yan's death, Pang Xi and Zhao Wei became important officials. One of them was the leader of the Dongzhou scholars and the other was the local leader of Bashu.

The old minister and young master will inevitably have fierce struggles during the transfer of power. Liu Zhang used the power of the Dongzhou scholars to eradicate Zhao Wei, but it was also during this infighting that the Dongzhou scholars and the Bashu locals formed deep hatred.

After eliminating Zhao Xi, Liu Zhang's target turned to Pang Xi again, but he was afraid of being afraid of the rebellion of the Dongzhou scholars, so he shrank. At the same time, it was because he and Pang Xi were in-laws and could not break up in love, and finally expelled Pang Xi from the center of power to the end.

However, Pang Xi knew very well that Liu Zhang would not let him go, and would sooner or later attack him, and the local Bashu system would not forget his old grudges. In this way, Pang Xi urgently needed to find a new support. At this moment, news of Liu Jing defeating Cao Cao in Chibi came, and Pang Xi sensitively realized that once Liu Jing unified Jingzhou, his next goal would inevitably be Bashu.

For Pang Xi, who is in an increasingly difficult situation, the expansion of Jingzhou's westward expansion will bring him new hope.

In the big tent, Pang Xi was pacing back and forth anxiously. He was waiting for news from Deng Zhi. Pang Xi made a big mistake more than ten days ago. When Liu Bei retakes Zigui County and opens up the troops, Pang Xi felt a lot of pressure. It is precisely because he can't stand the pressure that he asked Liu Zhang for help.

But the result of asking for help was that Yan Yan led 10,000 troops to Badong County, which undoubtedly gave Pang Xi a loud slap in the face, making him finally understand that his enemy was not only Liu Bei in the front, but also Liu Zhang and Bashu local faction behind him. When Yan Yan's army entered Badong, he undoubtedly led the wolf into the house.

Pang Xi regretted and was afraid. He was worried that his army would not be Yan Yan's opponent, so Pang Xi sent Deng Zhi to Chengdu overnight, hoping to ask Liu Zhang to order Yan Yan's army to withdraw from Badong through Dong He's relationship.

In terms of time, Deng Zhi should have come back yesterday, but now there is no news. Pang Xi was very upset and kept beating the soldiers and scolding the maids all day long. At this time, a burst of rapid footsteps came, causing Pang Xi, who was thinking, to raise his head.

"Qi Zhuang, Mr. Deng is back," the personal soldiers reported urgently.

Pang Xi stood up, "Let him in"

After a moment, Deng Zhi walked in with great tribute and bowed, "I'll be in charge of the mission."

Pang Xi waved his hand to his personal soldiers and asked them to retreat. He asked Deng Zhi again, "What news did he bring?"

"There are two news, I will say the first one first."

"you say"

Deng Zhi thought for a while and said, "Liu Zhang's intention was not Liu Zhang's intention to let Yan Yan enter Badong County, but Wu Yi's repeated requests. Zhang Ren persuaded Liu Zhang to seize the military power of the Dongzhou soldiers and prevent the Dongzhou soldiers from leading Liu Bei into Shu."

"Wait" Pang Xi interrupted Deng Zhi's words, "You mean Liu Bei."

"It is Wu Yi and Zhang Ren who did not mention Liu Jing's threat, but said that the Dongzhou Scholar Association colluded with Liu Bei."

Pang Xi took two steps behind his back, and he understood a little. Liu Zhang had just sent someone to Xiangyang, and he was still half-doubted about Liu Jing's westward entry into Bashu, but it was obvious that Liu Bei wanted to plot against Bashu, so Wu Yi and Zhang Ren used Liu Bei to make a secret, which was even more convincing Liu Zhang. Although the excuses were different, the final effect was the same.

"Did Dong He persuade Liu Zhang to ask Yan Yan to withdraw his troops?" This is the most urgent thing for Pang Xi.

"Dong Shou has agreed, and he said he will do his best."

"Do your best"

Pang Xi was a little dissatisfied with these four words and asked again: "What is Xun Gong's state?"

Xun Gong was Liu Xun, the eldest son-in-law of Liu Zhang, and he was also Pang Xi's son-in-law, so Deng Zhi went to Chengdu and asked Liu Xun for help.

"Report to the envoy, Xungong had just gone to the northern tour. Beiye did not find him, but he had left a letter to him."

This answer made Pang Xi snort coldly.

Deng Zhi quickly explained: "In fact, as long as Liu Bei was defeated, Liu Zhang would not station heavy troops in Badong County if he took Liu Jing's face. It is inevitable that Yan Yan would withdraw his troops."

This sentence was just a comfort. Pang Xi was helpless and had to ask again: "What is the second news?"

"The second news is that Bei Yi went to Wucheng yesterday."

"What"

Pang Xi was stunned for a moment. He made quick profits and reacted a little, "Can... Wucheng be occupied by the Jingzhou army?"

Deng Zhi smiled and said, "The Jingzhou army succeeded in attacking Wucheng, and Zigui is about to be around."

Pang Xi was overjoyed. Without the threat of Liu Bei's army, a big stone seemed to be removed from his feet. In this way, Yan Yan had no reason to station troops in Badong unless Liu Zhang also believed that Liu Jing also threatened Bashu.

Pang Xi pondered for a moment: "Do you think Liu Jing will take the opportunity to attack Bashu?"

Deng Zhi shook his head, "Liu Jing's attack on Bashu now is inappropriate and unfair. Cao Cao's southern expedition was in the Tian Dynasty to conquer Liu Biao, and even Sun Quan made an excuse to perform his duties as the governor of Nanjun. As a Han minister, Liu Jing would not easily cross the border to conquer another state governor unless Liu Zhang himself committed a crime of great rebellion, he could find an excuse."

Pang Xi sighed, "I have finally understood Cao Cao's powerful advantage in wielding the heavens to command the princes. He can do whatever he wants. If Liu Jing enters the Central Plains, he may have to use the slogan of clearing the emperor."

"It is true. Without a suitable reason, he cannot do it easily. If Bei Zhi was not wrong, what Liu Jing does now is to find an excuse to move westward.

"Then what should I do now?" Pang Xi asked again.
