Empress Dowager Ning issued a decree, and Cheng Gaoming personally rushed to Pang Mansion to announce the decree.

Mingjing, Pang Fu

At the time of the 66th birthday of Pang Longhu, who had already been at home, the children and grandchildren of the Pang family all asked for leave to celebrate the old man's birthday at home, which was a rare time for the Pang family to be together.

The children and grandchildren came to congratulate him on his birthday, Pang Longhu looked happy, slapped his thigh, and pulled several grandchildren, grandsons and great-grandchildren of the Pang family to the backyard to play boxing and martial arts in person.

Don't look at the old man Pang's age, counting forward to twenty years, he is also a first-class fierce general of the Three Kingdoms, and when he was young, he even personally defeated Emperor Kanghua of Taizong of the Northern Jin Dynasty, and he was powerful in the world.

His old man casually showed a few unique skills, which could make these descendants of the Pang family, who were mostly in the military, infinitely useful.

Therefore, when the old man was boxing, these descendants of the Pang family watched attentively, and did not dare to miss a penny, even those little children who were not old and did not understand martial arts also followed their parents to watch with learning.

There was only a big fat man in a red robe, who did not pay attention to Pang Longhu who was boxing, but stole the snacks on the backyard table to eat.

The round cheeks shook rapidly, and the snacks on the plate on the table quickly disappeared one by one.........

……………

After a set of boxing techniques, Pang Longhu stood up, looked back at the descendants of the Pang family who were studying next to him, and saw that everyone was thoughtful and suddenly opened, and the old man nodded with satisfaction.

After taking off the towel sent by the old servant, Pang Longhu wiped his face, and was about to open his mouth to praise his descendants, but was interrupted by a cough.

"Ahem...... Ahem...... Bring water to the master ......."

It turned out that the fat man who stole the dim sum just now was accidentally choked by the dim sum scum because he ate too fast, so he could only hold his throat in pain and ask for water from the servant who was waiting next to him.

The subordinate naturally didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly poured a glass of warm water and sent it over, and the fat man took it and drank it all, and the water dissolved the snack that was choking in his throat and flowed down the esophagus to his abdomen.

The fat man coughed lightly twice, feeling that his throat was much more comfortable, and he couldn't help but smile on his face, but as he looked up, he saw Pang Longhu who was looking at him not far away, with an iron face.

The smile froze!

"Eat, eat, eat, as the fuck knows, the old man will kill you with a bad thing."

Seeing the appearance of the fat man and the dim sum scum on the ground, Pang Longhu still didn't understand what was going on, and his lungs were about to explode.

Next to him, the eldest grandson Pang Yigong and several other grandsons hurriedly came over to stop him, hugging the angry old man.

"Grandfather is angry, the eighth brother didn't mean it."

"Big brother is right, besides, today is your big day, it's unlucky."

"Yes, the children are still here, and you have to save some face for the eighth uncle."

“………”

Several people persuaded him, but finally stopped the old man, Pang Longhu symbolically struggled twice, and finally put down the belt.

And the fat man who caused trouble had already run away when Pang Longhu was pumping his belt.

It wasn't until he saw Pang Yihu being persuaded by several cousins to put down his belt that he was urged by Pang Yigong to rub his feet and reluctantly come to Pang Longhu, bowing his head and laughing.

“…… Grandfather. ”

……………

Looking at the fat grandson in front of him, Pang Longhu snorted coldly, re-tied his belt, and couldn't help but reprimand.

"You didn't eat just now, and you're so hungry?"

The fat man touched the corner of his mouth embarrassedly, and pulled out a residual snack residue: "It's not that you don't know your grandson, who is naturally fat and hungry fast, plus the uncle kept pulling me to ask questions during the meal just now, and the grandson didn't eat much at all."

I watched you boxing just now, and my grandson, the father and son, was so hungry that I could only grab some snacks and make up for it. ”

When the old man heard this, he pointed to the fat man's bloated figure with some hatred: "Who can blame you if you don't carry hunger, you can also box, look at what you look like now, which is like my Pang family's son, I don't know, I think which rural rich man is it." ”

The fat man touched his round belly, and he didn't refute it, but smiled innocently: "My grandson knows that I am wrong, and I will practice martial arts diligently when I go back and lose this body of flesh." ”

Seeing this, Pang Longhu somehow suddenly remembered his third son who died young, and his heart softened and waved his hand.

"That's it, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, if you don't want to practice, don't practice, that's good, Uncle Cui, explain to the back kitchen in a while, and get Xiaoba some delicious food.

How to say that it is also a seven-grade imperial history, a dignified court official, with dim sum to satisfy his stomach, what does it look like. ”

"Grandson thanked grandfather."

When the fat man heard Pang Longhu's command, he gave the old man a salute with a smile.

"You kid......"

Pang Longhu stroked his beard and smiled, and was about to make fun of the fat man a few words, when a middle-aged man in a gorgeous costume walked quickly.

"Dad, Elder Gao just came to our house with Yi Zhi and asked to see Xiaoba."

"See me?"

The fat man, that is, Pang Yidian, stretched out his finger and pointed at himself suspiciously, and looked at Pang Longhu a little helplessly.

In the Pang family, the pillar is always the old man, and when the descendants of the Pang family encounter something, the first thing they think about is also the old man.........

…………

"Don't panic, the old man is still here."

Pang Longhu is worthy of being a general who has commanded thousands of troops and horses, and his psychological quality is extremely high.

After appeasing everyone in the Pang family, the old man's face sank like water, and he called the eldest grandson Pang Yigong and Gao Ming, who wanted to see Pang Yidian, and followed the second son Pang Ji who came to report the news, and rushed to the living room.

Gao Ming was waiting there for the announcement.

After half a burnt incense, the living room of Pang Mansion

Gao Ming stood behind an incense case, and announced the decree of the Empress Dowager Ning in a frustrated manner, and the four Pang Longhu kneeling in front of him all looked a little unsightly.

Ordering people to remove the incense case, Pang Longhu pulled Gao Ming to sit down, abandoned his subordinates, and asked: "Can you tell me that something suddenly happened on the front line, and I asked the Queen Mother to send an envoy to Nanchu." ”

When Pang Longhu was a general in the Taizu Dynasty, Gao Ming also entered the Imperial History Platform as the Imperial History, and the two have been old friends for many years, and the relationship is very good, which is also the reason why Gao Ming can quickly think of Pang Yidian.

There is this relationship, plus Pang Longhu is now a minister, but he has a high prestige in the army, and most of the children of the Pang family are officials in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the front-line military situation can be hidden from others, but I am afraid that it cannot be hidden from the old man.

Thinking of this, Gao Ming stroked his white beard, and no longer cared about secrecy, and sighed.

"The front... The situation is very bad. ”

Pang Longhu, as the former general of the Western Zhou Dynasty, although he is stepping down now, he is still very concerned about the military of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

"What's wrong? Didn't you say before that Ning Dewu had already raised military rations and was preparing to defend Beiling, could it be that he was defeated by the Jin army? Or is the grain burning again? ”

"It's not about food."

Gao Ming waved his hand, and Yan Kui raided Yuhu Beach from Jinglongling, and then took Xiao Pass, and cooperated with Di Yi to roughly explain the matter of 400,000 Zhou troops trapped in Beiling, and finally sighed.

"Brother Pang, you are an expert in warfare, this Xiao Pass was captured, you won't be unable to see what the situation of our army is.

Now, 400,000 troops are trapped in Beiling, although there is grain and grass collected in Beiling before, but it can last for three months at most, and after three months, the food of the Beiling army is cut off, which is the end of my 400,000 army.

During this period, it was necessary to resist the Jin army's repeated attacks, and one was not good, that is, it was a catastrophe, so the situation of our army in Beiling was very critical. ”

The more Gao Ming spoke, the more sad his tone became, Pang Longhu frowned even more, his face was gloomy, he was a former general of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and he knew the military power of the Western Zhou Dynasty better than anyone else.

This also made him understand what it would mean to the Western Zhou court if the 400,000 adults of the Zhou army were folded in Beiling.

The national strength has been greatly damaged, and there is almost a danger of losing the country!

…………

Gao Ming saw the solemnity on Pang Longhu's face, and said softly.

"At present, the Queen Mother has issued an order to order the right general Qin Shuai to divide 50,000 troops from the defenders of Wuyue Mansion in an attempt to recapture Xiaoguan and rescue Beiling.

But Yan Kui, who occupied the Western Zhou Dynasty, was a new fierce general in the Northern Jin Dynasty, unparalleled in bravery, not easy to match, and Tang Xiang, a famous general in the Northern Jin Dynasty, responded to the battle, Xiao Guan's battle was very difficult to fight.

Because of this, several important ministers of the Empress Dowager discussed, planning to find another way and send an envoy to Southern Chu to persuade him to send troops to attack Qingzhou of the Northern Jin Dynasty, attract the attention of the Northern Jin Dynasty, and share the pressure of our army.

Yaogong (Pang Yidian's character) has a special identity, and it is the most suitable candidate for my Great Zhou to send to Southern Chu. ”

Speaking of this, Gao Ming saw that the people of the Pang family who had changed their color when they heard the words, well, they smiled bitterly and comforted them.

"I know that Brother Pang had a grudge against Pang Aoxian's nephew back then, and he didn't want Yaogong to be involved with the Nanchu Xia clan, but now that the situation is rotten, asking Nanchu to send troops is our best way to break the situation.

I hope that my brother will look at the lives of the 400,000 army, and the court will come first.

I have obtained the promise of the Queen Mother, as long as Yaogong persuades Nanchu to send troops, no matter what the result is, a marquis position is indispensable.

Pang Aoxian's nephew once said that he would be crowned a marquis when he was young, and now if Yaogong is made a marquis because of his merits, and his son fulfills his father's wish, Pang Yixian's nephew is in the spirit of heaven, and he is very happy to think about it. ”

…………

Pang Longhu has a tough mind, not ordinary people, Gao Ming persuaded him several times, but he only moved his eyes slightly, but he didn't say a word, until Gao Ming mentioned Pang Ao, the old man finally couldn't help but be moved.

His best third son was forced to die in depression in another country, which was one of the most heart-wrenching things in Pang Longhu's life.

Since then, Pang Longhu has hated the Southern Chu royal family, and has never let his grandson Pang Yidian have any contact with that side.

Gao Ming, who was good friends with Pang Longhu, knew this inside story, and also understood that although the Pang family did not dare to disobey the will of the Empress Dowager Ning, if they wanted Pang Yidian to go all out to envoy Nanchu, they had to untie the knots in Pang Longhu's heart.

Otherwise, Pang Longhu casually explained to his grandson, and the effect of Pang Yidian's trip to Nanchu would be greatly reduced, and if it was not good, the effect would not be as good as that of ordinary envoys.

Don't think it's a joke, Gao Ming is a frequent visitor to the Pang family and the boss of Pang Yidian, so he naturally knows the weight of Pang Longhu's grandfather in Pang Yidian's heart.

Pang Longhu sent a message to ask Pang Yidian to be honest about this matter, then Pang Yidian would definitely be perfunctory.........

Don't think that Pang Longhu will not do such a thing if he is an old minister who has served Zhou for many years, you must know that Pang Longhu, as a general of the Western Zhou Dynasty and one of the three auxiliary ministers left by Taizong of Zhou, was powerful and powerful, and he can be called the pillar of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

But later, because he was implicated by the power minister, he was forced to hand over his military power and go home to retire.

At that time, Pang Ke was only over sixty years old, with a strong physique, clear thinking, and the new emperor was in power, as the former emperor's auxiliary minister, it was the time when he began to make great achievements, but he was forced to retreat bravely because of the power dumping, how could he have no complaints in his heart.

Therefore, after Gao Ming announced the decree, he deliberately talked to Pang Longhu, during which he comforted him several times, and finally pinched the key point, fulfilled his father's wish with his son, and comforted Pang Aoying's words, which moved Pang Longhu at once.

In order to let Pang Longhu go out and urge Pang Yidian to spare no effort to persuade Southern Chu to send troops for the Great Zhou.

And the final result, as Gao Ming wished, Pang Longhu took care of his dead son, temporarily let go of his hatred for Nanchu, and explained that Pang Yidian did his best, and he must succeed immediately.

Amano 6th year, February 12

Pang Yidian held the Tiger Tail Festival, under the escort of 200 forbidden troops, Pegasus rushed to Wuyue Mansion, and then turned to the waterway, crossed the Tianjiang River by boat, and went to the capital of Southern Chu - Tianjing.
