"What! Young Master Liu Zong is dead? "Pang Shiyuan didn't seem to believe the news as he looked at the messenger kneeling beside him.
"Yes, Military Advisor! My Lord, let me tell you to be prepared! " This messenger was an old man in Liu Bei's army, so he had always called Pang Shiyuan Military Advisor.
"I know!" Pang Shiyuan nodded. He was starting to have a headache.
"Military Advisor? That Young Master Liu Zong was killed, so what? What's there to worry about? Leaving him alive would only bring disaster sooner or later. Even if Chen Jin wasn't killed, I would get rid of him for Big Brother! "A clear female voice said coldly.
Pang Shiyuan subconsciously turned his face away. He didn't dare to look at that face any longer.
It wasn't because it was ugly, but because it was beautiful.
Ever since Zhang Fei was turned into a eunuch by Huang She's subordinates, his body's Yin and Yang were in harmony. It was a complete reversal of Yin and Yang.
How manly and fierce Zhang Fei was in the past was how feminine Zhang Fei was now.
His face had turned from a patch of black to a frosty white. His beard had long since disappeared. Not only that, his coarse skin had also become so delicate that it could be broken by the wind.
The most important thing was Zhang Fei's eyes. They were originally big eyes, but now they had become big eyes with double eyelids.
Pang Shiyuan didn't dare to look too much. If he did, he was afraid that he would lose interest in women.
To put it simply, this "man" was a delinquent.
In the past, Zhang Fei still had a rough voice that reminded Pang Shiyuan that he was a man. But now, Zhang Fei's changes were getting bigger and bigger. Even his voice had started to change, from a man's voice to a woman's voice. And it was still changing, from an ordinary woman's voice to a delicate one.
How could Pang Shiyuan look at him?
"This Young Master Liu Zong can be killed at any time, but not now!" Pang Shiyuan shook his head to get rid of Zhang Fei's image in his mind. He returned to being a strategist.
"Why is that?" Zhang Fei didn't understand and frowned. His eyebrows and small nose seemed to form a flower curl.
"Because of the camp on the other side!" After saying that, Pang Shiyuan opened the tent. He had already moved his Central Army tent to the top of the Luo Feng Slope. Although Pang Shiyuan knew who had ambushed Huang She, he was still afraid that someone would ambush the army at the Luo Feng Slope again.
Therefore, Pang Shiyuan decided to bring his own Central Army tent over. This way, they could guard against the enemy while keeping an eye on Cai Pa's army.
"Them?" Zhang Fei was puzzled.
"This Young Master Liu Zong is Cai Mao's nephew. Originally, we could have relied on Young Master Liu Zong to recruit Cai Mao, but now …" Pang Shiyuan shook his head.
Putting aside the fact that Kuai Yue and Cai Mao were already very wary of him, now that he had killed Liu Zong, the enmity between him and Cai Mao had been formed.
"Hmph, so be it. Why should we be afraid of them?" Zhang Fei said coldly.
"Pass down the order to seal off the news. We must not let Cai Mao and Kuai Yue know that Young Master Liu Zong is dead. Third General, you guard the camp. I will persuade them to surrender again!" Pang Shiyuan was prepared to make a final effort to see if he could persuade Cai Mao and Kuai Yue to surrender their military power.
If he could, then even if they knew that Young Master Liu Zong was dead, they wouldn't be able to do anything.
"Yes!" Zhang Fei nodded. Just as Pang Shiyuan was about to ride his warhorse down the mountain, he was stopped by Zhang Fei's shout.
"Third General, is there anything else?" Although Pang Shiyuan was talking to Zhang Fei, his eyes were looking around.
Zhang Fei squinted his eyes and smiled. He moved closer to Pang Shiyuan and whispered into Pang Shiyuan's ear, "Military Advisor, why don't you dare to look at me?"
"No, why would I?" Pang Shiyuan felt a little uncomfortable. If the face in front of him was a woman, it would be devastatingly beautiful. However, it was a man.
"Am I beautiful?" Zhang Fei suddenly asked.
Pang Shiyuan subconsciously replied, "Beautiful!"
"Haha! At least you have a conscience! "Zhang Fei got his answer and left with a chuckle.
By the time Pang Shiyuan reacted, Zhang Fei had already left.
Pang Shiyuan shook his head violently as a chill ran down his spine.
Pang Shiyuan went to Cai Mao and Kuai Yue's camp. The results were obvious. Cai Mao still didn't want to see Pang Shiyuan. Cai Mao's army was self-sufficient and Pang Shiyuan couldn't restrict Cai Mao and Kuai Yue.
Pang Shiyuan couldn't convince Cai Mao and Kuai Yue, so he could only talk to Cai Mao and Kuai Yue about other things. Just as they were arguing, a voice came from outside the tent.
An anxious voice shouted from outside the tent, "Family Head, I want to see the Family Head!"
"Hm?" Pang Shiyuan also heard it.
Cai Mao and Kuai Yue frowned. "Who's so rude? Don't they know that we're receiving guests?" Even if the guests came with bad intentions.
"It's fine, it's fine!" "Pang Shiyuan is very magnanimous." Since the Military Advisor and Kuai Yue have important matters to attend to, Pang Shiyuan won't disturb them. With that, Pang Shiyuan prepared to leave.
"I've embarrassed myself in front of you! Take care! " Kuai Yue and Cai Mao still have etiquette.
When Pang Shiyuan left, he saw the person who was shouting to see the Patriarch. His body was covered in mud, and his face was tired. With one look, he knew that he had just gone through a long journey. Pang Shiyuan narrowed his eyes, and without stopping, he immediately took his warhorse and left.
"How can you be in such a hurry!" After Pang Shiyuan left, Cai Mao called the person who shouted into the tent. However, Cai Mao didn't have a good expression on his face.
"Not good, not good, Family Head!" This was an intelligence agent. He was panting heavily as he shouted over and over again.
"Hmph!" Cai Mao was getting more and more dissatisfied. It was simply too shameful. He wanted to punish this intelligence agent, but the following news made him stunned.
"What did you say? Say it again!" Cai Mao's eyes widened as if he was about to explode.
"Family Head, Young Master, Young Master, Liu Zong is dead!" The intelligence officer stammered.
"That's impossible!" Cai Pa fell to the ground with a thud.
"Who killed Young Master?" Kuai Yue's eyes darted around as he asked. He vaguely knew about this news.
"It's … it's Chen Jin!" The intelligence officer said.
"Chen Jin?"
The intelligence officer told Cai Mao and Kuai Yue about Chen Jin's identity and how he killed the Huang family.
"Liu Bei, Liu Xuande! I will not live under the same sky as you! "Cai Mao suddenly roared.
Chen Jin had killed the Huang family. In Xiangyang, he had no other choice but to join Liu Bei's Army. Therefore, this person had to be Liu Bei's man. Even if Liu Bei killed Chen Jin, everyone would think that Liu Bei was deliberately trying to get rid of them.
If Cai Mao had any other thoughts, it would be to join Liu Bei's Army as long as it would benefit the Cai family. It didn't matter who was the ruler of Jingzhou. Cai Mao had even contacted Lao Cao before, so there was no pressure to sell Jingzhou.
However, things were different now. Cai Mao was really angry. It wasn't just because Young Master Liu Zong was Cai Mao's nephew and his sister's child. There was also another reason. Liu Bei didn't even let Liu Zong go. How could he let Cai Mao go in the end?
Cai Mao was terrified. He really didn't dare to join Liu Bei's Army now.
"Not good!" Kuai Yue suddenly stood up.
"Yidu, how is it not good? How can it not be good? Zong 'er, Zong' er, you died so miserably! "Cai Mao said that he had no feelings for Liu Zong. Liu Zong was his sister's child. Liu Zong also used to call him uncle.
"Men!" Kuai Yue immediately called for someone to come in. It was the person in charge of sending Pang Tong off.
He asked this person how Pang Tong left and how he was doing.
He received the news that Pang Tong had left in a hurry.
"Pang Tong ran fast. Otherwise, I would have killed him!" Cai Mao roared.
"Brother Desi, we're in trouble!" Kuai Yue smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Trouble?" Cai Mao sneered, "Could it be that Pang Tong wants to attack me? Today, I will get justice for him. Men, prepare the troops for me!" Cai Mao was furious. He was going to start a punitive expedition. Although Cai Mao only had fifty thousand soldiers, which was ten thousand less than Pang Shiyuan's sixty thousand, he had thirty thousand elites. On the other hand, Liu Bei had twenty thousand elites at most.
"Pang Tong might not be able to do it alone, but we are being attacked from the front and the back!" Kuai Yue said.
"Report!" A scout ran into the Central Army's tent. "General, Sire, Yi Province's troops have appeared behind our army!"
"What? Yi Province's troops? "Cai Mao's eyes widened.
"Who are they? How many troops are there? Whose banners are they using?" Kuai Yue asked the scout.
"We don't know yet!"
"Then why aren't you going to investigate?" Cai Mao roared.
"Yes!" The scout left again.
"Report! Zhang Fei is calling for a fight outside the camp! "Pang Shiyuan also came over to join in the fun.
"How is that possible?" Cai Mao was stunned. They were being attacked from both sides.
"I knew it!" Kuai Yue shook his head bitterly.
"Yidu, what do you know?" Cai Mao looked at Kuai Yue.
"Pang Shiyuan is indeed working with someone in Yi Province!" Kuai Yue knew who that person was. Wasn't it Zhang Song from Yi Province? However, Kuai Yue could not say it out loud because he could not tell Cai Mao where the information came from.
"Pang Shiyuan is working with the Yi Province's army? How is that possible? " Cai Mao could not believe it. If Pang Shiyuan was working with the Yi Province's army, why would he attack Yong 'an County and attack Jiangzhou and Chengdu? Could it be that Pang Shiyuan and the Yi Province's army were putting on a show for him? Their goal was him? No way. Wouldn't the price of putting on a show be too high?
"Pang Shiyuan is not working with the Yi Province's army. Someone in the Yi Province's army is working with Pang Shiyuan!" Kuai Yue explained. If Pang Shiyuan was working with the Yi Province's army, they would not be able to fight for a long time.
"Brother Desi, don't forget that Huang She died at the hands of the Yi Province's army!" Kuai Yue said to Cai Mao. "In my opinion, Pang Shiyuan purposely leaked Huang She's whereabouts to someone in the Yi Province's army. Then, he ambushed them at the Luofeng Slope! In the end, he killed Huang She! "
Cai Mao nodded in agreement.
If the Yi Province's army worked with the Jingzhou Army, Yong 'an County would suffer a great loss. Yong 'an County was already empty. What was the Yi Province's plan?
"Pang Shiyuan must have contacted the Yi Province's people. That's why we are being attacked from both sides!" Kuai Yue smiled bitterly. This was the Shu Path. There was no way out. If they were in Jingzhou, they could find a waterway to escape. Even if they were in the Central Plains, they could leave some people behind to cover them. However, this was the Shu Dao. The Shu Dao was difficult to begin with, and there were even more obstacles at the end of the path. If they retreated now, they might not be able to escape. Even if they did, it would be a miracle if they could save 5,000 of Cai Mao's 50,000 soldiers.
"Let's fight it out with them!" Cai Mao was also a ruthless person. Since they could not escape, they might as well fight it out with their lives. Cai Mao also had 50,000 soldiers under him. Their loyalty was not a problem. These people used to be the elite navy of Jingzhou. Now that they were ashore, they might not be a match for Cao Cao or Liu Mang, but they could still fight against the Jingzhou Army and the second-rate Yi Province Army.
"No! Don't attack! "Kuai Yue stopped Cai Mao.
They only had 50,000 soldiers while Pang Shiyuan had 60,000 soldiers. Although the Yi Province Army behind them was not very strong, they still had 30,000 soldiers.
If they fought head-on, Cai Mao's army would definitely be defeated.
"Then what should we do?" Cai Mao was anxious. If they did not fight, should they surrender?
"Desi, I have a plan to break the Jingzhou Army!" Kuai Yue said to Cai Mao.
"Yidu, you have a plan? That's great! I already knew that you would be able to break the situation. This small Pang Shiyuan is nothing. Wait for me to lead the army to Jingzhou. I will definitely make Liu Bei pay the price! " Cai Mao's eyes were filled with killing intent. This Liu Bei had really angered him.
"But … But …" Kuai Yue stopped mid-sentence.
"But what?" Cai Mao was anxious. The situation was very dangerous. Every second was precious. "Yidu, stop beating around the bush! Just tell me what you want me to do! "
"Alright! Desi, I will say it then! However, after this plan is used up, Jingzhou will no longer be Jingzhou! "Kuai Yue said.
"Hm?"
"From now on, Jingzhou will belong to Yangzhou!"
