Although it is said that people should not be good-looking, but ugly men who look very sorry are indeed not easy to have a foothold in ancient times. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Pang Tong was born ugly, so he hit walls everywhere in the process of finding the master. If Zhuge Liang wasn't eight feet long and had a face like a crown of jade, but was the same as Pang Tong, would Liu Bei reuse him?

Pang Tong is a talent discovered by Zhou Yu, the governor of the Eastern Wu Naval Army, Zhou Yu treats Pang Tong very well, he lets go of the appointment, and Pang Tong has a good personal relationship with Zhou Yu. Lu Su recommended Pang Tong to Sun Quan, Pang Tong thought very highly of himself, so he came to see Sun Quan with joy, but Sun Quan saw him with thick eyebrows and nose, black face and short beard, and strange face, so he was displeased, and sent him away with a sentence "Pang Gong, please retreat, wait for the time when Pang Gong is useful, and then come and ask him".

Lu Su felt that he couldn't go, and recommended him to Liu Bei, but Liu Bei saw that he was ugly, and the boss didn't like it, and he thought that he was not modest enough in front of him, so he only arranged for him to be the county magistrate of Leiyang County, and he couldn't even take the turn of the county order. Compared with Cao Cao's promise to the three dukes, it is simply heaven and earth.

When this happens, of course, Pang Tong wants to be emotional, so he drinks all day long for fun, ignores political affairs, and the literati are negative. Liu Bei was furious when he heard this, and sent Zhang Fei as a special commissioner to inspect, but Pang Tong had no choice but to show off in front of Zhang Fei, and quickly ended the official business accumulated for more than 100 days as soon as possible.

At the moment, Zhang Fei admired Pang Tong very much, and went back to say good things about Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong are a little related, Pang Tong is the nephew of Pang Degong, a famous man in Xiangyang, and Pang Degong's son Pang Shanmin is married to Zhuge Liang's second sister, and Lu Su has repeatedly recommended it. Liu Bei came back to his senses at this time, and Pang Tong, the ugly man, was finally not annihilated.

Although Cao Cao's subordinates were fierce generals, and when he encountered talented and unattractive people like Pang Tong, he was still able to accept them wholeheartedly, which shows that he is determined to unify and has the courage to accept all rivers in the sea; and Sun Quan and Liu Bei, whose strength is far inferior to Cao Cao, have a lot of rules and regulations for employing people, judging people by their appearance and rejecting people thousands of miles away, which shows that they can only divide one side, and they will not become a big climate after all.

Hearing that Jiang Gan was here again, Zhou Yu was very happy, and immediately wrote a letter to his subordinates and said: "The person from the middle plan is here again, send this letter to Mr. Feng Xiao as soon as possible, and ask him to do what he said above." ”

Then Zhou Yu came out to greet him, but he deliberately pretended to be dissatisfied, and said angrily: "Last time I treated you like a brother, but you stole my letter and said goodbye without saying goodbye, so that Cao Cao killed Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, and ruined my big thing." If it weren't for the sake of our old friends, I would have cut you down today. ”

As he spoke, Zhou Yu instructed left and right: "Send him to the small nunnery in Xishan, watch him lively, and send him across the river after I break Cao Cao." ”

Jiang Gan was sent to a small nunnery behind the West Mountain, where he was waited on by two soldiers. Jiang Gan's heart was depressed, restless, he really couldn't sleep, so he went out for a walk, in the dead of night, the surroundings were silent.

Suddenly, the sound of Langlang reading was heard not far away. Jiang Gan followed the sound and looked for it, only to see a person reciting "The Art of War", a long sword hanging from his waist. Jiang Gan thought to himself: This person has an extraordinary demeanor, he must be a great person. So he knocked softly, and the man heard the knock and came to open it.

Jiang Gan asked, "Sir, do you have a big name?"

The man said, "My surname is Pang, my name is Pang Tong, and my name is Shiyuan." ”

When Jiang Gan heard this, he immediately said respectfully: "You are Mr. Feng Xiao, right? I have heard of your name a long time ago, how did you come to this hill?"

Pang Tong said: "Zhou Yu thinks he is sorry and looks down on others, so I came here to live in seclusion. Who are you, sir?"

Jiang Gan thought to himself, this time in Jiangdong, Zhou Yu is so cold, I'm afraid he can't do anything. If I can bring Mr. Feng Xiao across Jiangbei, I will be worthy of this trip and have done a good thing. Thinking of this, Jiang Gan said: "My name is Jiang Gan, Ziyi, and now I am on an errand under Cao Cao. A talented person like Mr. will be used everywhere, if you are willing to defect to Prime Minister Cao, I am willing to introduce you. ”

Pang Tong said happily: "I also want to leave Jiangdong, if you can take me to see the prime minister, it would be great." But if you want to go, let's go now, otherwise if Zhou Yu knows, neither of us will survive. ”

Jiang Gan felt that what Pang Tong said was reasonable, so he went down the mountain with him overnight, found his boat by the river, and hurriedly rowed to the north bank.

Cao Cao had known Pang Tong's name for a long time, and when he heard that he was coming, he was naturally very happy. He personally accompanied Pang Tong to drink, and led Pang Tong to visit his water village. Pang Tong looked at the water village and said praisefully: "The prime minister is like a god with soldiers, and it really deserves his reputation." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to Jiangnan and said, "Zhou Lang, Zhou Lang, you can't escape the catastrophe." ”

Receiving Feng Xiao's praise, Cao Cao was so happy that he invited Pang Tong to the banquet, and the two talked about the way of using soldiers while drinking. Pang Tong's thinking was clear, his views were unique, and his answers were fluent, and Cao Cao respected and admired him more and more.

After a while, Pang Tong pretended to be a little drunk and asked, "Prime Minister, do you have a good doctor in the army?"

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Pang Tong meant. Pang Tong said: "When I visited the water village just now, I found that there are many sick people in the water army, which will affect the combat effectiveness. ”

Cao Cao was anxious about this matter, because when the soldiers from the north came to the south, most of them did not accept the water and soil, and many of them vomited and were busy saying, "What do you have to say, sir?"

Pang Tong actually understood this situation a long time ago, so he further said: "Prime Minister, although your method of training the navy is very good, it is a pity that it is still lacking. ”

Cao Cao looked at Pang Tong, but Pang Tong didn't say any more. Cao Cao asked again and again, and Pang Tong said: "If you adopt my method, you can avoid the illness of the soldiers of the navy." The main reason why the soldiers in the north were sick was that they were not used to boating, and they could not stand the waves that shook the boat. If the large and small warships could be locked with iron rings, about thirty or fifty boats in a row, and each row of boats would be covered with wide planks, not to mention that people could walk back and forth, and even horses could get on board. If the northern soldiers are trained in this way, then no one will get sick even if the wind and tide rise. ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this: "Thanks to Mr. for giving me this good idea, I will ask someone to tie the iron chain and connect the warships." ”

Pang Tong saw that Cao Cao trusted him very much, and said: "Zhou Yu is very proud, no one looks down on him, and many people are unwilling to do it with him." I'm willing to go back and convince them to come to the prime minister. ”

Cao Cao said: "Sir really sincerely helped me, if you succeed, I will never treat you badly." ”

Seeing that Cao Cao agreed, Pang Tong said goodbye to Cao Cao and got on the boat and went back to Jiangdong. The naval governors Mao Jue and Yu Ban received Cao Cao's order, and it only took two days to connect the large and small warships separately with a chain of big nails. Cao Cao said to the generals and strategists: "Mr. Feng Xiao's plan is really wonderful, the iron cable is connected to the boat, and crossing the river is like walking on flat ground. ”

Cheng Yu said: "The boats are all connected together, what if the other party attacks with fire?"

Cao Cao said: "You are too worried, if you want to attack with fire, you must use the wind power." It's the middle of winter, and there is only a northwest wind, no southeast wind. Our army is in the northwest, the enemy army is in the southeast, if they attack with fire, the northwest wind just blows the fire to the southeast, will Zhou Yu do this?"

The strategists were right to think about it, and they all said, "The prime minister's opinion is really clever. ”
