Pang Degong originally thought that Sun Ce would belittle Liu Biao. After all, they are hostile parties, and no matter how fair Sun Ce is, it is inevitable that he will have preconceived ideas. But after listening to Sun Ce's evaluation of Liu Biao, Pang Degong felt that Sun Ce not only did not belittle Liu Biao, but even raised it a little.

However, Sun Ce pointed out a fatal flaw of Liu Biao: Liu Biao was congenitally deficient in military affairs. Not only him, but also the people around him, Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and others can't be said to be stupid, but they are not good at military affairs. It is more than enough to be an ordinary general, and when they meet a fierce general like Sun Jian, they will not be enough.

If it weren't for that, Liu Biao would not have let Huang Zu, a puppet, guard Fancheng and confront Sun Jian.

In this way, the father and son of the Sun family are much stronger than Liu Biao, and it is very likely that Jingzhou will eventually fall into the hands of the Sun family.

Even so, Pang Degong did not make a clear statement, and talked with Sun Ce for a long time, without even leaving a meal, so he asked Pang Shanmin to send Sun Ce out. Sun Ce didn't say anything, he knew that his goal had been achieved. The Pang family is so simple, it is estimated that there is nothing to eat, not to mention that there is a Huang Zhong outside, who has been drying him for a long time, and I don't know if he is gone.

Sun Ce went out and was relieved to see Huang Zhong who was still standing there. If Huang Zhong ran away because of bragging with Pang Degong, the loss would be great. He walked over briskly and bowed.

"What else does Huang Jun have to advise?"

Huang Zhong was embarrassed. He was woken up by Sun Ce's words, and stayed here without leaving, naturally wanting to see if Sun Ce could give him a chance. What does Sun Ce mean by this, drive me away?

"Uh......" Huang Zhong's tongue rolled in his mouth, but he couldn't say anything. Sun Jian sent someone to look for him, but he didn't go, but now he is taking refuge in Sun Jian's son Sun Ce, and he took the initiative to take refuge, is it appropriate?

"Haha, it seems that Huang Jun still has a lot to say." Sun Ce laughed, couldn't help but speak, and pulled Huang Zhong towards the barracks. "Otherwise, it's not too early. Huang Jun stayed in the camp, and we traveled together with candles and talked all night. ”

Huang Zhong couldn't ask for it, so he followed Sun Ce half-push and half-on-the-spot. Pang Shanmin stood in front of the door, his heart sour. Sun Ce said that he had a talent of 2,000 stones, but he did not invite him to travel with him. Alas, it's all because my dad wants to save face and refuses to ask for help, otherwise I would be able to go out now.

Pang Shanmin returned to the house and saw Pang Decheng standing in the court, looking up at the sky, with a solemn expression, so he walked to the side and stood quietly.

"Daddy, General Sun is gone, Huang Hansheng is with him, and he will travel with him tonight."

Pang Degong hummed, but did not speak. After a while, he said, "Shanmin, who do you think Liu Biao or Sun Jian will be the lord of Jingzhou?" ”

Pang Shanmin's spirits were lifted. Pang Degong asked this question naturally because he was ready to make a decision, and once the decision was made, the Pang family would take action, and whether the answer was good or not would determine whether he could leave the hermit life and officially enter the office. He thought about it carefully, but he faltered a little. Because he simply can't make a clear judgment.

"It's hard to decide, isn't it?" Pang Degong lowered his head and glanced at Pang Shanmin faintly. "Sun's father and son are good at the military, which is beyond Liu Biao's ability. But whether Jingzhou can be won or not, military talent is only one aspect. Although Nanyang has many household registrations, there are also many powerful families, and how many materials Yuan Shu can loot is not optimistic. If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have sent Sun Jian to attack Xiangyang. Liu Biao is not good at military affairs, but he has the support of Cai Kuai recently, the Yuan Shao alliance far away, and occupies Xiangyang, so it will not be a problem to hold the first half of the year if nothing else. Half a year later, who knows if Yuan Shu can hold on? ”

Pang Shanmin nodded again and again, breaking out in a cold sweat. Only then did he understand why his father had such a speculative conversation with Sun Ce, but in the end he did not let go. Now it seems that the time is not ripe at all. If Sun Ce votes for Sun Ce, but Sun Ce loses in the end, then the Pang family will lose a lot, not only don't expect to be side by side with the Cai family, maybe it will also collapse.

"In case Sun Ce ...... Won? Pang Shanmin asked unwillingly. After all, so far, Sun Ce was the first person to say that he had the power of two thousand stones.

"Didn't Huang Hansheng go with Sun Ce?" Pang Degong put his hands behind his back and slowly walked towards the hall. What's more, he also took a fancy to Shi Yuan and promised him to be a good material and beautiful jade that he had not encountered in a hundred years. If he wins and Shi Yuan becomes his confidant, why should you worry about your career? ”

Pang Shanmin was relieved.

Sun Ce didn't know that he was pretending to be too coercive, and he exposed his strong interest in Pang Tong in advance, but lost an opportunity to gain the support of the Pang family. He had a good conversation with Huang Zhong and was immersed in the joy of picking up the leaks. Although there had been a holiday before, he had successfully untied Huang Zhong's knot, and the similar family backgrounds of the two parties made their relationship quickly harmonious.

The Sun family is a poor family in Fuchun and is despised by others, and when Sun Jian wanted to marry Mrs. Wu, he was rejected by the Wu family. After more than 20 years of struggle, Sun Jian is now a prince, but his inferiority complex is still there, and he is still unwilling to leave his family in Fuchun. But compared to Huang Zhong, the Sun family's experience is not so exaggerated, and it can even be said to be lucky.

At least Sun Jian still had a chance to be appreciated by the assassin history, and he was promoted to 2,000 stone step by step, and even made the marquis with his military merits. Huang Zhong was even more persecuted. There are too many Nanyang families, and there is no chance to stand out with martial arts like Sun Jian. Huang Zhong is over forty years old, and he is just an insignificant thief who is not worth mentioning in his biography. The thief Cao is a subordinate official of the county Taishou Mansion, in charge of public security, there is a thief Cao Peng, 16 stones per month, the number of servants varies, the amount of money is halved, and the monthly salary is 8 stones.

The standard of rations for an adult is six liters per day and eight liters per month. The eight stones of the moon are not even a belly wrap for Huang Zhong, and they are even more than 108,000 miles away from his ideals. Now that he has an opportunity, Huang Zhong naturally refuses to let it go. At the invitation of Sun Ce, he first performed the sword technique and the most proud archery, and then tried the tricks with Zu Mao, proving his worth.

After seeing Huang Zhong's martial arts, Sun Ce confirmed that it was correct, and immediately promised to recommend Huang Zhong to Sun Jian. Huang Zhong was overjoyed and grateful.

"However, Huang Jun can't be given too high a position in the short term, at most six hundred stones." Sun Ce patted Huang Zhong's hand and said earnestly.

Although he was somewhat disappointed, Huang Zhong was used to being aggrieved, but he was also mentally prepared. When he first arrived, he didn't expect to become a general who led an army all of a sudden. If he has the opportunity to be promoted, he will be satisfied.

"It's not about Huang Jun's ability, but I'm worried that someone will target you and snatch you away." Sun Ce smiled slightly. "Huang Jun, how about being a captain of five sheepskins for a few days?"

Huang Zhong was surprised and delighted. He is a native of Nanyang, how can he not know the allusion of the five sheepskins. The five sheepskin doctor Baili Xi is a native of Nanyang Wan, and there are no people in Nanyang who don't know this sage, and they often encourage themselves with this sage. Huang Zhong is one of them, but he never dares to boast of Baili Xi. Now Sun Ce compares him to a five-sheepskin captain, and this kindness is more intimate than any high-ranking official. With such a master, what future do you have to worry about? It's just a bright spot.

"I am willing to smear the general's liver and brain, and never give up." Huang Zhong fell to the ground, crying silently.
