When he saw the ugly and short fat man, Cao Cao was very happy in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended to be very calm.

"You're Pang Tong?" Cao Cao's tone was very unkind.

Pang Tong didn't think it was angry at all, saluted respectfully, and said: "In Xia Pang Tong, I have seen the prime minister." ”

"Legend has it that there are Wolong and Phoenix Chicks in Jingzhou, presumably you are a good friend of Zhuge Liang, are you here to be a lobbyist today?" Cao Cao made a look, there were ironclad guards standing on both sides, it was Xu Chu's Praetorian Guards, Xu Chu buckled the steel knife to the ground, Cao Cao frowned, the wooden floor could not bear the heavy buckle, and Xu Chu smashed a hole.

The effect is good, but you Xu Chu is too reckless, this is on the ship, if you are in the palace, there are also several precious stone bricks that have been broken by you, just acting to scare him, you still take it seriously.

Pang Tong laughed and said, "Everyone says how Cao Cao is, I will see it today, but I can't hear it." After saying that, he shook his head and turned away.

Cao Cao was trying to entrap him, and seeing that the threat was not successful, he hurriedly scolded Xu Chu and said, "Who told you to bring these iron guys here, get out!" How can there be a blade in the place where the old man is deliberating? On that day, the old man also went to see Zhao Yun alone, what had he ever been afraid of? ”

Xu Chu is an honest man, seeing Cao Cao's reprimand, he thought to himself that it wasn't for your orders, how dare I come in with the ironclad Praetorian Guard? But he didn't dare to say it, and poured his anger on the guards: "Still stunned to be a bird? Hurry up and get out of here! ”

Pang Tong said: "Prime Minister has always been a meritocrat, today Pang Tong has been taught, there is no need to send each other, Pang Tong is gone." ”

Cao Cao was anxious, hurriedly stood up, walked down regardless of his face, grabbed Pang Tong, and said seriously: "Without saying a word or two, he insisted on leaving, why?" Don't look at the old man's face, at least look at the face of the saint, right? ”

Pang Tong thinks that you are really fast, why do you want to leave, and you still come to ask me? No wonder you are called a traitor!

Pang Tong turned around and said, "The Prime Minister's words make me ashamed. The name of Wolong and Phoenix Chicks is taken by Confucianism in Jingzhou, Kong Ming and I, although we know each other, but we are not familiar with each other, the place where we live, is also far apart, I have different ideas with him, not the same people, the name of Wolong, Phoenix Chicks, not the name of harmony, is the name of competition. Why did the prime minister listen to his words and make judgments? ”

Cao Cao's face was red, and Pang Tong continued: "Therefore, Pang Tong is neither a close confidant of Zhuge Liang, let alone his lobbyist, Pang Tong sees that the war is imminent, if the prime minister does not make a plan, tens of millions of living beings will die!" ”

"Shi Yuan said it, in the battle with Sun Quan, not many people will die in our army!"

"The prime minister is still covering up! The Northern Military Division, as soon as he got on the warship, was dizzy and vomited, and the prime minister thought that after a few months of training, he could change this habit? ”

Cao Cao was frightened, and when he saw that he couldn't hide it, he had to change his face again, and said, "Please Shiyuan teach me!" ”

Pang Tong sighed and said, "Originally, I didn't want to come to give you this idea, after all, there are many people in Jingzhou who oppose you, if you know that I have this idea, how can I Pang Shiyuan stay in Jingzhou again?" I thought about it repeatedly, although the prime minister and Sun Quan were a power struggle, but it had nothing to do with me, I just hoped that the war would end sooner, and the soldiers could have fewer casualties and go home as soon as possible to serve their parents and take care of their wives and children. ”

Cao Cao said: "Why doesn't the old man think like this, please Shiyuan say it." ”

"I have watched the prime minister's warships from afar, there are many big ships, and the small boats are used as pleasure planes, why not let the big ships all lock up, ship to ship, so that the chariots and horses go on the top, as if walking on the ground, and these big ships are advancing at the same time, how can the ships of Soochow be matched? Once the big war begins, the big ship will be the main attack, advancing strongly, showing a crushing trend, and the small boat will be responsible for attacking the flanks and rear of Soochow, responding to each other, echoing and taking care of each other, and getting Soochow, a moment! ”

Cao Cao was just about to say yes, but Xun Yu, who had been silent beside him, suddenly shouted: "What a Pang Tong, are you here to harm the prime minister!" ”

Pang Tong was frightened, and said without changing his face: "This is Xun Wenruo, how can you see it?" ”

"Connect the big ships, as long as Dongwu fires, we will all be burned to ashes!" Xun Yu was unceremonious, in a word.

Cao Cao was also shocked in his heart, when Pang Tong talked about locking the ship, he immediately thought of Zuo Ci's attack that night, he only thought about locking the ship, where would he think of fire attack?

Pang Tong looked up to the sky and smiled, laughing so inexplicably that Cao Cao and Xun Yu laughed.

"People say that Xun Yu is unpredictable and scheming, but today, it seems that it is nothing more than that." Pang Tong laughed at him first and said, "May I ask Prime Minister, where is Cao Jun located?" ”

"Jiangbei."

"Where is Sun Quan located?"

"Shi Yuan laughed, of course in Jiangnan."

"It's winter, what's the wind?"

Cao Cao and Xun Yu suddenly woke up to the northeast wind blowing in winter, if Sun Quan attacked with fire, wouldn't he burn himself?

Xun Yu originally wanted Pang Tong to not be able to get off the stage, but he couldn't get off the stage, so he had to remain silent.

Cao Cao was overjoyed and said, "Okay, Shiyuan's plan is very wonderful!" How about asking Shiyuan to stay and give advice to the old man? ”

Pang Tong laughed and said: "I came for the common people, so I will leave, but before Pang Tong came, I had already drawn the design drawings for the prime minister, and prepared a first-class craftsman in Jingzhou, as long as the prime minister gave an order, I can start work tomorrow!" ”

Cao Cao was very moved, and said: "Shiyuan, let's go goodbye, when will we see each other again?" ”

Pang Tong knew that Cao Cao's words meant, which side do you want to take refuge in?

"Prime Minister, Pang Tong is an idle cloud and a wild crane, and his fame is like a floating cloud to me, I will go and say goodbye, Pang Tong will live my rural life again, please don't send someone to find me."

Cao Cao knew that it would be difficult to keep him, as long as he didn't take refuge in Liu Bei and Sun Quan, he was relieved: "Okay, come here, reward five hundred taels of gold!" ”

Pang Tong excused himself: "Prime Minister don't have to bother, Pang Tong is gone!" ”

As he spoke, he stepped out of the council hall early, waved his hand and went.

"It's really a master, send someone to keep an eye on him secretly, don't be discovered by him." Cao Cao secretly instructed Xun Yu.

The next day, Cao Cao inspected the warship, the sergeant came to report, Pang Tong's recommended craftsman had arrived, Cao Cao ordered to meet, only to see that the leader of the craftsman was a young man, as high as nine feet, Cao Cao saw it from afar, so he sat down to meet him, so he stopped three feet away from him, and carefully looked at the young man.

"What's your name?"

"Prime Minister, I'll see you in the next section."

"Who sent you?"

"Pang Tong, please come and build an invincible chain warship for the prime minister."

"How many of you are there?"

"One hundred and eight in all."

"How long is the construction period?"

"Seven days."

"Seven days? Ready to do it? ”

"Pang Tong has a detailed design drawing." Jie Jian took out a thick roll of drawings from his sleeve, and Cao Cao ordered the guards to take it and unfold it in front of him.

Cao Cao looked carefully, this drawing is really fine, with iron locks connecting the warships, and small boats are hidden between the hulls, so that they can shuttle freely between the big ships. The iron lock is divided into three, which are locked in the bow, the middle of the ship and the stern of the ship, among which there is a lock, which can be opened and locked freely, each iron lock is composed of a number of iron chains, and the planks on the three iron chains can be bitten with each other and connected into a large piece, just like the deck, people and horses can move quickly and freely between ships, which is convenient for the deployment of military horses to deal with various situations in the big war.

Cao Cao was secretly surprised in his heart, this Pang Tong designed the serial warship like a huge water fortress, and also implied certain formations, which could calmly respond to the battle, and he couldn't help but admire.

"What do you want?"

"Ask the prime minister to set up three hundred iron-making furnaces on the shore."

"It's not hard to do, but nothing else?"

"It's gone."

"Okay, however, the old man has a request, your craftsmen must wear uniform colors, can not be mixed with our army, and issued you one hundred and eight pass books, with this card to enter and exit, every time before work, you must be searched and checked, you must not carry other items, as for the tools, please be responsible, craftsmen are not allowed to carry tools in and out without permission, do you hear clearly?"

Judgment said with a smile: "These craftsmen are all the best craftsmen who repaired Liu Biao's tomb at the beginning, they are all masters, and they naturally understand the rules, please rest assured, but I still have one, if there is a dispute with Cao Jun, please send someone to contact me, and I will coordinate it personally, if I can't coordinate, then report to the prime minister, how about it?" ”

"Well, you are very thoughtful, I will send a document to the generals and ask them to fully cooperate!" Cao Cao glanced at it again, from the time he saw this person, he always felt that something was wrong, but after listening to him deal with it freely, he was generous, and he couldn't say why, so he had to turn around and leave.

Night. Outskirts.

"What is Zuo Ci's whereabouts?" Pang Tong's voice.

"Please come in." ”

Pang Tong pushed open the hut, walked in, and said, "This place is really hard to find, you have a set!" ”

"Is Mr. Feng Xiao still worried about Dong Xian?" ”

Pang Tong's face flushed and said, "Can you not talk about this?" ”

Judgment said seriously: "It seems that Cao Cao admires your masterpiece very much." ”

Pang Tong sat down unceremoniously and said, "What Kong Ming asked me to do, I naturally tried my best to do it well, not to mention that this is related to the general trend of the world." Now, if Kong Ming wants to stop the Asura King, first of all, we have to ensure that Liu Bei and Kong Ming are safe and sound, so we must win this battle to have a chance to breathe, and then look for clues about the Asura King. It seems that they have been moving more frequently recently, stealing bullfighting and robbing Ying Long, and even Zuo Ci has appeared, a very difficult guy. ”

Judgment said with a smile: "Haha, I only care about the cultivation of our clan. ”

"If the Asura King destroys this world, do you think you will be able to survive alone?"

"That's why I worked with that goddess."

"Are you ready?"

"One hundred and eight craftsmen, all of them are little demons in Jingshan, they are profound, as long as they strictly prohibit drinking, they are cautious in their words and deeds, and they will not show their feet."

"That's right, those locks, I designed a hidden buckle, only you little demons know how to open, when Cao Cao checks, you must personally demonstrate to him, and don't let his people try it themselves, otherwise it will show the horse's feet, remember, remember!"

"Don't worry, we little demons know how to be human very well, and they are very cute. After seven days, who doesn't like them among those Cao Jun? "Besides, with my daily inspector, what else do you have to worry about?" ”

"That's fine, I can also give Kong Ming an explanation." Pang Tong breathed a long sigh of relief, remembered one thing, and said, "I'll leave first." ”

"Okay, don't send it."

Pang Tong pushed open the door of the house, and there was already a starry sky outside the house.

remembered that after coming out of Cao Cao's army yesterday, Xu Shu saw through the plan on the spot, and cold sweat was oozing from his back.

Although Xu Shu promised not to tell anyone, he couldn't bear it when he thought that many soldiers would inevitably die in this battle, but in order to prevent the Asura King from destroying this world, he had to give up the lives of these Cao soldiers.

He didn't see that the stars in the sky suddenly dimmed.
