Zhuge Liang smiled desolately, and slightly fanned the feather fan in his hand: "Such a sophistry technique, I'm afraid it wasn't the teacher who taught you!" ”

Pang Tong smiled slightly: "I have to admit that the library of Jinling Academy is indeed a treasure land, a certain borrowed a lot of hundreds of books there, and I feel that I have made great progress, and it is really a blessing for Yuan Gong to carry forward the hundred schools and for me and other scholars." ”

"Famous!" Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly, the famous artist is already famous for his argumentative skills, and "white horses are not horses" is his most classic example. What Pang Tong said before contained some thoughts of famous masters, both positive and counter-argumental, so that Zhuge Liang could not answer.

"Kong Ming, since you have chosen to give up the Liu family, follow me. You and I will definitely be able to break out of the world under the command of Yuan Gong and pass it on as a good story. Pang Tong explained.

"No, I'm different from you. What you are good at is the military strategy and tactics of commanding a large army to fight, while what I am good at is the government affairs that govern the world. Zhuge Liang said.

Hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Pang Tong sighed slightly, and looked at Zhuge Liang with envy: "Kong Ming, sometimes I'm really jealous of you!" When it comes to talent, although you and I are different from each other, I think I am not inferior to you. But when it comes to this fortune, I'm really far inferior to you! My opponent is in Yuan Gong's place, there are old foxes like Jia Xu and Guo Jia, and you, I'm afraid there is only one Xun Wen in the world who can compare with you! ”

The strategists under Yuan Shu's command can be roughly divided into two categories, one who fights with the army and the other who governs internal affairs. In terms of fighting with the army, Jia Xu and Guo Jia took the lead, Xun Yu was second, Pang Tong thought that he was not inferior to anyone, but he did not think that he could surpass Jia Xu and Guo Jia, the two old foxes. According to his qualifications, Pang Tong may only be ranked third or fourth among the military advisers in the future.

But in terms of governing internal affairs, Zhuge Liang faced a different situation. Under the command of Yuan Shu, it is now the internal affairs of Premier Tian Feng, followed by Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Lu Su, and the rest such as Gu Yong, Kuai, Liang, Kuaiyue, etc. Although Tian Feng said that he was in charge of power, he was only able to suppress others because of his uprightness, and when it came to internal affairs alone, Zhang Zhao was the first. But Zhang Zhao is a little soft, his overall view is insufficient, and he is a little childish and selfish, so Yuan Shu chose Tian Feng.

Zhuge Liang's talent as a close friend and opponent of Pang Tong could not be clearer, his ability and talent in government affairs are by no means inferior to his own military strategy, I am afraid that Zhang Zhao is not as good as him, and he is almost a perfect person, calm, loyal, open-minded, gentle and extremely upright, and will definitely be able to replace Tian Feng in the future and become the head of the internal affairs strategists under Yuan Shu.

Hearing what Pang Tong said, Zhuge Liang smiled slightly: "I'm afraid you say this to persuade me to defect to Yuan Gong!" ”

Finding that the trick in his words was exposed, Pang Tong grinned, and then said: "It's hard to support alone, and it may be difficult to perform under Yuan Gong with my own strength, you and I need to help each other." You also know that you and I can cooperate with each other's spiritual talents. ”

It is extremely important to have a friend who can trust each other and make up for each other's shortcomings. Just as Guo Jia and Xun You, Tian Feng and Fu Zhu, Jia Xu and Li Ru, Pang Tong's spiritual talent is also deficient, and Zhuge Liang's spiritual talent can just make up for it, so the two are called Wolong and Phoenix.

Zhuge Liang glanced at him: "It's not that you and my spiritual talents can cooperate with each other, but that I can make up for the shortcomings of your spiritual talents." Without you, although I have a slight influence but it is harmless, but I am afraid that you will not be able to. ”

was ridiculed by Zhuge Liang like this, Pang Tong's face turned red but he didn't know how to refute it. Indeed, if the two of them can play a hundred levels together, without him, Zhuge Liang can still play ninety-five. But without Zhuge Liang, he couldn't even give full play to eighty, and half of his spiritual talent was basically wasted.

With a light cough, Pang Tong directly gave up the topic, licked his face and said, "How is it?" Let's go together? ”

Zhuge Liang was silent for a moment: "Let me think about it for a few days." ”

When Pang Tong heard this, the corners of his mouth hooked and said: "Then you can hurry up, the soldiers of Liangzhou will arrive in Jinling in three days, and it is expected that Yuan Gong will go on the expedition in a few days, leaving you and me with little time." ”

"I know." Zhuge Liang nodded.

After saying that, Pang Tong smiled and left, leaving only Zhuge Liang, who was stunned, gently shaking the feather fan in his hand and falling into deep thought.

After a long time, Zhuge Liang took out a letter from under the pillow, scanned the contents on it, and muttered: "Yuan Gong is merciful and ruthless, if you want to vote for others, you will die, remember not to." Brother, even Shiyuan said so, is there really only one way for me to go? ”

......

Three days later, a large army drove into Jinling from the side gate of the army, and the two leaders looked at the Jinling city wall that seemed to be out of sight, and their eyes were full of shock: "Shengming, why is this Jinling City so big, and the length of this city wall is far less than Chang'an Luoyang!" ”

Xu Rong didn't know how to answer when he heard this, and his heart was also shocked. He and Hua Xiong are not unknowledgeable people, they have also seen the imperial capitals such as Chang'an and Luoyang with Dong Zhuo, they thought that it was already the largest city in the world, but they didn't expect that the city in front of them would be even larger.

Even if it was only a cursory glance, Xu Rong, who was good at military affairs, immediately estimated the approximate length of this city wall, which was more than three times that of Luoyang. If the other three walls were like this, wouldn't this city be nearly ten times larger than the former imperial capital of Luoyang? After reaching this conclusion. Xu Rong couldn't help but gasp. I had long heard that Jiangdong was rich, and I thought that the wild land in the south would be rich, but I didn't expect it to be so terrifying.

A glimpse of the whole leopard, because the troops they led were too large, and the people in the north were not good at water, and there were many seasickness, so they did not come with Yuan Shu, but traveled all the way by land from Xiliang through Yizhou Jingzhou to Yangzhou Jinling, so they came more than ten days late. But along the way, they also saw the wealth under Yuan Shu, and the people everywhere were extremely rich, and the good life made Xu Rong and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry under Hua Xiong feel red. In the past, when they saw so many "rich people", they would have gone up to rob them a long time ago. And now seeing such a huge Jinling City, they are completely convinced of the wealth of Jiangdong.

"What the lord said is that the land of one state alone is enough to support the people of Liangzhou, and it is true, Jiangdong is really so rich!" Xu Rong sighed.

"Those folks, I really don't have to worry about not being able to eat this time!" Growing up in Xiliang Huaxiong is even more emotional. At the beginning, he voted for Dong Zhuo for a bite of food, and was slowly appreciated by Dong Zhuo with his strength and bravery, and became the former No. 1 military general in Xiliang step by step. He felt how miserable the life of the people of Xiliang was.

Seeing that the soldiers guarding the city gate were all fully armed and wearing excellent armor, Hua Xiong's eyes suddenly turned red: "This time, I must let the lord match the brothers under my command with a good armor!" ”

Xu Rong looked at the soldiers behind him who were dressed in cloth and leather armor, and their eyes were also red and full of longing, and nodded lightly: "The lord is rich, and he will definitely not be stingy with a little equipment." Those of us who are on the battlefield can't be worse than the treatment of these defenders! ”
