Liu Bei finished reading Kong Ming's letter, handed it to Yu Yi, and asked, "What do you think, fourth brother?" Yu Yi took the letter, nodded after reading it, and said, "I am not as professional as Kong Ming in astronomy. But lately I haven’t had a good feeling, I always feel like something bad is going to happen!”
Liu Bei asked Ma Liang to return to Jingzhou first and said, "Since this is the case, let's go back to Jingzhou first to discuss this matter."
Pang Tong took the letter from Yu Yi. After reading it, he thought to himself, I am as famous as Kong Ming. If I can assist the lord in taking Xichuan and establishing hegemony this time, then I will be famous all over the world. Now we are about to attack Chengdu. It was only one step away. Kong Ming wrote at this time. He was obviously afraid that I would take Xichuan and seize his credit, so he asked Fa Zheng to send a letter to stop us.
So he walked up to Liu Bei and said: "I also know some knowledge about astronomy and know that Gang Star is in the west, but this is not a bad omen as they said. It is a prediction that the lord will get Xichuan. Although Taibai is already approaching Luocheng, But it is not that there is no way to resolve it. We can first kill the Shu general Leng Bao, then this bad omen can be resolved. Now that we return to Jingzhou, the current affairs will be wasted. We may not have the opportunity to occupy Xichuan in the future. I hope the lord will not Doubt it, and take it all in one go."
Liu Bei looked at Yuyi, hoping to listen to his opinion.
If it were in the past, Yu Yi would not care so much and just go straight ahead. However, the snake-cutting sword keeps shaking, the ancient books are incomplete, and the Taibai Star descends. This already shows that something bad will happen, but the capture of Xichuan is just around the corner. He was unwilling to go back like this, as it would greatly damage the fighting spirit of the soldiers, and Yu Yi also fell into hesitation.
Pang Tong said: "General, don't be suspicious, I have my own arrangements!"
Yu Yi glanced at Pang Tong and said: "Those who follow the will of heaven will prosper, and those who go against the will of heaven will perish. Things are unclear in recent times. Please think twice, military advisor!"
Pang Tong patted his chest and said, "A man was born in troubled times. He should make great contributions and make great achievements. How can he shrink back because of some difficulties?"
So Pang Tong urged Liu Bei and Yu Yi to advance with their troops, and Huang Zhong and Wei Yan entered the camp.
Pang Tong asked Fa Zhengdao: "How far is it before we enter Luocheng?"
Fazheng was very familiar with the topography of Xichuan and drew it on the spot. Liu Bei also took out the topographic map of Xichuan presented by Zhang Song for verification and found that there was nothing missing.
Fa Zhengdao: "There is a big road to the north, and you can attack the east gate of Luocheng. There is a small road to the south, and you can attack the west gate of Luocheng. You can march on both sides."
Pang Tong said to Liu Bei: "I will let Wei Yan be the vanguard and attack from the small road in the south. My lord will let Huang Zhong be the vanguard and attack from the main road in the north. Then we will meet at Luocheng."
Liu Bei said: "I have been very skilled in horseback riding since I was a child, and I am used to walking on small roads. The military advisor will take the east gate from the main road, and I will take the west gate."
Pang Tong said: "There will definitely be soldiers and horses blocking the main road. My lord will lead the soldiers and horses to block them, so I will take the small road."
Liu Bei said: "No, I dreamed that a god came to attack my right arm with an iron rod in his hand. When I woke up, I felt pain in my arm. I felt that this operation would definitely not go smoothly."
Pang Tong said: "When a strong man leaves, he will not only die but also bear some injuries. This is a normal thing. Why should we doubt it because of the scene in the dream?"
Liu Bei said: "What happened in the dream is a trivial matter. I doubt Kong Ming's letter, and my fourth brother also feels bad. How about guarding Fuguan instead of marching as a military advisor?"
Pang Tong said: "My lord has been confused by Kong Ming. He and I are equally famous. Now I will assist my lord to capture Xichuan and achieve hegemony. He is far away in Jingzhou and is jealous, so he writes a letter to confuse my lord. My lord feels that If you have doubts, you will have strange dreams. What are the bad omens? Even if I am completely ruined, I still have to complete the hegemony of attacking Xichuan. I hope my lord will not say anything more. Wait until tomorrow and we will set off on time."
Yu Yi felt that what Liu Bei said made sense and asked: "If the enemy ambushes on the path, the situation will be even more tragic. What strategies does the military advisor have to resist?"
Pang Tong said: "I expect that the path is clear and the pressure on the Lord's side will be greater. Even if there is an ambush, it is only a small group of enemies and there is nothing to fear."
Yu Yi said to Liu Bei: "In this case, please let me go with the military advisor to protect his safety."
Liu Bei was already uneasy, but thinking that Yu Yi was as brave as Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, and had the ability to protect Pang Tong, he readily agreed. So an order was given to the military advisor to cook at five o'clock, mount his horse at dawn, and follow the plan mentioned by Pang Tong.
That night, the snake-cutting sword kept shaking, making Yu Yi unable to sleep. He held the snake-cutting sword and came outside the camp. He found that the Taibai star was actually brighter than the moon, and there was light accurately hitting the camp. Yu Yi Yi was very surprised when he saw it and immediately decided to find out the direction of the light.
Near Hanzhong, Yu Yi lost his men and horses due to Wei Yan's rescue, but escaped alive. This made Sima Yi's plan fail again. He could only bid farewell to Zhang Lu and prepare for a new round of plans.
During this period of time, Sima Yi observed the sky at night and found that Taibai Star was approaching Luocheng. As the distance approached, the evil energy generated became more and more powerful, so he started his business again, trying to resurrect some corpses. , formed corpse soldiers and directly attacked Yuyi. When he saw the light of Taibai Star shining into the Han army camp, Yu Yi formed a protective shield because of the protection of the snake-cutting sword, so he changed his target and prepared to use soul harassment to kill some important members of the Han army. Kill the personnel.
Sima Yi combined his consciousness with the evil power of Taibai Star, swept around the Han army's camp, and changed his target from Yu Yi to Liu Bei. He believed that if Liu Bei was killed directly, the Han army would be leaderless, and Yu Yi would be the leader. It will become a lost dog, self-defeating without attack. But when the consciousness came to Liu Bei, he was ejected by a force. He had no choice but to change the target. This time it came to Pang Tong. When the consciousness came closer, he stood up suddenly and sighed: "It turns out that Pang Tong is about to die, and this Taibai Star is his general!"
In order to avoid long nights and endless dreams, he used this power and decided to trap Pang Tong with the ghosts of his past and kill people in his sleep.
Soon Pang Tong had sleep problems and began to dream.
In his dream, Pang Tong seemed to have returned to Jiangdong. There was a man playing the piano, and a peerless woman standing next to him. Pang Tong took a closer look and found that the person was Zhou Yu, the governor of Jiangdong, and the beautiful woman standing next to him was Xiao Qiao.
Pang Tong looked very puzzled and thought to himself, didn't the governor fall ill and pass away? Where am I?
While he was thinking, Zhou Yu suddenly stood up and said to Pang Tong, "I am unwilling to die!"
Pang Tong said: "You have evil intentions and will reap the consequences. What can you say!"
