Chapter 247 My Son's House
Gan Ning became even more disgusted when he saw this man killing his master and flattering him. He kicked him into the river and cursed: "I hate traitors the most in my life. If you betray your master for glory, death is not a pity!"
All the Jinfan soldiers were heroes from the green forest, and they all reviled him. A few big rocks were thrown down, and the deputy general and Pang Le's head sank into the bottom of the water.
The ambush troops who attacked the camp on the other side had long been defeated by Zhang Fei, and either fled or surrendered. Without the main force of the soldiers led by Li Yi, these Brazilian defenders were simply vulnerable.
Gan Ning got angry, took Pang Zhe ashore, and ordered him to return to the city to inform Pang Xi. He and Zhang Fei took the prisoners into custody and then left, sending someone to report to Hanchang.
Liu Qi was holding a gathering of Bazhong ministries in Hanchang, lighting a bonfire in the government office square, and talking about the governance of Bazhong.
Du Yi was officially granted the title of King of Ba, and with the B River as the boundary, the Badong area was divided into Ba people, all tribes coexisted equally, and nobles with seven surnames would become a thing of the past.
The tribe of the Seven Surnames was beaten to pieces this time, and Liu Qi released many prisoners. Although some people were still dissatisfied, they did not dare to say a word of objection because Pu Hu had learned from the past.
Liu Qi also worshiped Wang Ping as General Fenwei, selected warriors from various tribes of the Ba people, and formed shield troops, allowing the Ba people warriors to once again embark on the glorious road of revitalizing the Han Dynasty, and received positive responses from various ministries.
Although the seven Yi kings have become history, they can once again make contributions and follow Liu Qi to revive the Han Dynasty. The grand event passed down from generation to generation has become a reality in their generation.
Decades or even hundreds of years later, their names will be engraved on altars and ancestral temples like their ancestors for future generations to admire and sing praises. Who wouldn't be excited?
While they were celebrating with singing and dancing, Zhang Fei sent someone to report that Brazil County had been successfully captured. Everyone was overjoyed and raised their glasses to congratulate him.
The leaders of the various tribes of the Ba people were shocked. For more than ten years, they followed Zhang Lu and fought with Pang Xi for many years, winning and losing each other.
Pang Xi was in sole control of Baxi County and governed almost independently. He repeatedly suppressed the indigenous peoples in the territory and recruited those Ba people who committed crimes and defected. He was a demonic existence in Ba Di.
Such a ruthless and cunning old fox was easily eliminated in less than half a month?
Du Yi said with emotion: "General Shenwu actually asked the old thief Pang Xi to come down in the wind, which shows what people's hearts want."
All the leaders of the Ba people nodded in awe, thinking that in the future they would strengthen the tribe and train more warriors to kill the enemy and perform meritorious deeds. Liu Qi would most likely be the next king of the Han Dynasty.
The banquet ended happily that night. The next day, before Liu Qi woke up, Xu Shu hurriedly came to see Cao Cao. Cao Cao defeated Ma Chao at the Weishui River.
Liu Qi was shocked and said: "The reports were sent out a few days ago. The two armies were still confronting each other. Han Sui also led troops to attack Zuo Fengyi. How could he be suddenly defeated?"
Xu Shu sighed and said: "The Cao thieves were very cunning. They knew that the Xiliang army had gathered tens of thousands and would have difficulty in transporting grain and grass. Taking advantage of the autumn grain harvest, they sent troops to run out of food. The Xiliang army would be in chaos without a fight. In addition, the Qiang people were mixed in to rob supplies.
They are killing each other, which is worse than when Li Jue and Guo Si led their troops."
Liu Qi said helplessly: "Cao's thieves are accustomed to cutting off people's food routes. The scale of the Xiliang Army's battle this time is no less than the Battle of Guandu. Unfortunately, Ma Chao was defeated by Liangcao again. Why doesn't he have a better memory?"
Xu Shu said: "The Xiliang army came thousands of miles away and refused to fight for a long time. This is a taboo in the army. Even if they are prepared, they will always be negligent. What's more, the army is a mob and the military discipline is loose, which must be a loophole.
After many attempts, the Cao thieves endured until now before launching a counterattack, just to deliver a fatal blow."
Liu Qi shook his head and sighed. Although Ma Chao was brave, he didn't understand strategy. Even if he didn't use the alienation strategy, he would still be defeated by Cao Cao. All this was expected.
The direction of history has changed. I wonder if Ma Chao's fate will change. He asked again: "How is the situation under Han Sui's troops?"
Xu Shu replied: "Han Sui led his troops from the Jing River to the east, and was intercepted by Xu Huang's troops. It was difficult to win. Ma Chao was defeated, and Han Sui was unable to support him alone. He may have no choice but to retreat."
Liu Qi breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, Han Sui has retained his strength. As long as he returns to Xiliang, he can regroup. If Cao's thieves pacify Longyou, he will covet Hanzhong again."
Xu Shu smiled and said: "Don't worry, general. Don't forget that the Jiangdong navy has been dispatched. Once the war in Huainan breaks out, the Central Plains will be shaken, and Cao's thieves will rush back to rescue."
"Yes, I almost forgot about my brother-in-law!" Liu Qi slapped his thigh and said with a smile: "It's time to ask Xia Houmao to find out some important information!"
"I'll make arrangements right away!" Xu Shu understood and said goodbye.
After Liu Qi finished washing, he invited Fazheng alone to express his thanks: "Pang Xi has been in Brazil for more than ten years. Without Mr.'s help this time, Brazil may not be easily conquered."
Fa Zheng said with a smile: "This is the general's will. In addition, Pang Xi is good at protecting himself wisely. He sees the opportunity and acts when he sees the opportunity. Knowing that he is outnumbered, he looks for the wind and descends. How can I dare to take credit?"
Liu Qi poured a glass of wine himself and paid tribute to Fa Zheng: "In the future, I will rely more on you, Sir. Fortunately, please don't refuse."
Fazheng understood Liu Qi's intention to win over him. In fact, after being introduced by Zhang Song, both parties had a tacit understanding, but he still formally begged him, which showed that he valued him.
Fa Zheng was free and easy by nature and did not stick to trivial matters. He immediately clasped his fists and said: "The general is a nobleman of the Han Dynasty. He is very talented in strategy. I have admired him for a long time and am willing to serve him as my subordinate."
Liu Qi laughed and said: "Sir, you should be my son-in-law!"
Fazheng said humbly: "The general is assisted by a sleeping dragon and a phoenix. They are all talented people in the world. Xu Yuanzhi is also smart and smart. Being honest is just the icing on the cake! When I was in Shu, I often lamented that I didn't meet talented people. This time I was lucky enough to meet the general. I did the hard work of dogs and horses.
, I can do my best for the Han Dynasty, this life will be enough!"
"Sir, there is no need to be humble!" Liu Qi happily picked his toes and pulled Fazheng to sit down, expressing his admiration.
Like Pang Tong, Fazheng was an orthodox counselor who was good at planning strange strategies and was known as a ghost strategist. Some people even evaluated him as being superior to Zhuge Liang in terms of strategy and ranked him with Guo Jia.
If these two men had not died young and made plans, and Zhuge Liang was coordinating the rear, Sima Yi would probably not be his opponent.
Think about the cards in Liu Bei's hand in the mid-term. They are all Wang Zha, Five Tiger Generals, Wolong Fengchu, Fazheng, and Liu Ba. The lineup is even more luxurious than Cao Cao.
It's a pity that a good hand of cards was played badly. Pang Tong died in Luocheng, and Fazheng also died of illness after taking Hanzhong. It is a pity that there was no head-on confrontation with Cao's army.
Now that Fa Zheng has officially taken effect, he has gained not only a top strategist, but also Meng Da's 3,000 elite soldiers, making a lot of money.
Fazheng said: "The Cao thieves defeated Ma Chao and pacified Guanzhong. The general should also seize Ba Shu early! Now that Ba land has been obtained, Liu Mu is weak, and Zhang Song responds, Shu land can be easily obtained! With the Yin wealth in the two states of Jingyi,
Jingchu, Tianfu is in danger. If we march north, Cao Cao and his thieves will have no time to take care of themselves. They will support the imperial court and the restoration of the Han Dynasty will be just around the corner."
