Nanyang County, Wan County.

Wang Can led the army from Chengdu, out of Yizhou, and stopped to rest after arriving in Nanyang County.

The army was stationed outside the city, and Wang Can entered the city with a small number of people.

Taishou Mansion, Wang Can sat on the main seat, on the right side of the hall stood Lu Meng, Pang De, Wei Yan, Zhang Xiu and other generals, and on the left side of the hall stood Jia Xu, Guo Jia and other ministers.

Zhang Liao stood up and respectfully bowed: "Your Majesty, the last general will train troops in Nanyang, and Xiangyang will give grain and grass support, and 80,000 troops have been trained at present." These 80,000 Shu troops were all personally trained by the last general, elite and brave, worthy of a battle. His Majesty asked the last general to train in Nanyang to prepare for war. Now His Majesty is leading the army to attack Cao Cao, and the last general will live up to his mission. ”

In the era of peace and prosperity, there were 80,000 troops in one county, which was definitely taboo.

Right now, Wang Can needs elite soldiers, and Zhang Liao's army of 80,000 is just right.

Wang Can shook his head lightly and said with a smile: "I don't want any of the 80,000 troops you trained, and I will hand them all over to you to command." When I left Chengdu, I sent an order to Xu Shu and appointed him as the governor of Jiangnan, supervising Yangzhou affairs, recruiting 100,000 troops, leading 100,000 elite soldiers and 100,000 naval troops of Gan Ning, attacking Yangzhou, and cutting off Cao Cao's Yangzhou. ”

Zhang Liao's eyes rolled, and he had an idea in his heart.

Looking up at Wang Can, Zhang Liao asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to lead your troops to attack Yuzhou and take Runan?" ”

Zhang Liao carefully analyzed and understood Wang Can's intentions.

Wang Can nodded and said, "That's right, your task is to take Yuzhou and capture Runan." When you lead the army to capture Yuzhou, Xu Shu will capture Yangzhou, and then join forces to attack Xuzhou, and take the three major states south of Cao Cao. ”

Zhang Liao pondered carefully for a moment and asked: "Your Majesty, there is only one Huang Xu by the minister's side, plus the Wen Ping stationed in Xiangyang, there are only three generals, which is far less than the strength of the Governor of Xu. Moreover, there are only 80,000 elites in Nanyang, and only 80,000 elites are going to attack Yuzhou, I am afraid that there will be difficulties, and you will have to be supported by Your Majesty. ”

Wang Can said in a deep voice: "I appoint you as the governor of Jingzhou, supervise Jingzhou affairs, have arbitrary powers, and can recruit troops in Jingzhou." At present, there is a shortage of military generals, and the generals in the hall are up to you to choose. ”

After Zhang Liao heard this, his eyes swept over the generals in the hall.

However, the generals avoided Zhang Liao's eyes and were reluctant to stay.

These people wanted to follow Wang Can north to fight Cao Cao, but Jia Xu, Guo Jia and other strategists looked calm and unfazed, and they did not show the look of staying, nor did they show the intention of not staying.

Zhang Liao smiled bitterly in his heart and kept thinking about it.

After a while, Zhang Liao already had an idea, and he said solemnly: "Your Majesty, you don't want any generals and generals in the hall, and you don't need military advisors. Please ask Your Majesty to transfer Yan Yan, the Taishou of Qiqi County, to Nanyang to help, and transfer Jingzhou Junjun Wen to help. There are the last generals, Yan Yan, Wen Ping, plus the young general Huang Xu, which is enough to capture Yuzhou and occupy Runan. ”

The voice fell, and a burst of air came from the hall.

Obviously, Wei Yan, Zhang Xiu, Zhang Ren, Lu Meng and others were unwilling to stay.

Wang Can thought for a while, nodded and said, "You are the Metropolitan Governor of Jingzhou, and I agree to all your requests." But your main task is to attack Yuzhou, don't you really need a military division? "Regarding the thoughts of the generals under the court, Wang Can's heart is like a mirror, these people don't want to stay, and Zhang Liao transferred Yan Yan and Wen Ping, and didn't choose any of them, which is obviously in line with everyone's thoughts.

Zhang Liao said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the last general is seeking a division and is in the house." ”

Wang Can raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who is it?" Bring him up, and I'll see who it is. ”

Zhang Liao said: "The last general obeys orders!" ”

At that moment, Zhang Liao ordered the attendants in the mansion to invite people.

"Step! Trample!! ”

It didn't take long for a steady sound of footsteps to be heard outside the hall. The pace was a little slow, and everyone looked back, but Zhang Liao's military advisor had not yet come in. Wang Can had a smile on his face, and he was also aroused, he looked up at the gate, with an expectant look in his eyes, wondering who Zhang Liao's military advisor was?

In Zhang Liao's eyes, Zhang Liao can't look down on him without great talent, and he must be a talented person.

A short time later, a young man with a short figure of five walked in.

This young man was Zhang Liao's military advisor, but he was dressed plainly, wearing only a simple coarse linen coat, and a rope was casually tied around his waist as a belt. On the sacrifice, there is also a big gourd hanging, which looks maverick. What was even more surprising was that this person walked in with a swagger, unkempt head.

When the people saw it, they exclaimed.

The person in front of him looks weird, and it is not surprising that he can even call it ugly.

The young man's eyebrows were very thick, like a heavenly river hanging abruptly on his brows. The eyes are not big, the black eyes are dripping and rolling, and there is a hint of agility. The nose is an exposed nose bridge with the tip of the nose turned upwards, similar to the nose of a crucian carp. He has two mustaches on his lips and three short whiskers under his chin, which looks like a dog-headed military advisor.

Such an appearance is simply unsightly.

In the hall, Jia Xu looked calm, a talent, and could be called an elderly handsome guy; Guo Jia is handsome and extraordinary, with a lazy evil smile on his face, and his appearance is outstanding; Zhang Xiu is handsome and extraordinary, definitely a girl idol, can be called a beauty killer,......, these people are all handsome and dashing people, even if Dian Wei looks vicious, he also has a mighty body.

However, the young man in front of him was strangely ugly.

Laughter, one after another.

The civilian, official, and military generals all looked at Zhang Liao with a smile and a playful look in their eyes. It seems that he keeps saying that Zhang Liao has found the wrong person and picked an ugly and frustrated person.

Zhang Liao was sitting precariously, not moving at all, and looked at the young man with admiration.

How can a layman see that he is a great man?

At this time, Zhang Liao only hoped that Wang Can would not judge people by their appearance. Zhang Liao hummed in his heart, expressing his dissatisfaction with the colleagues in the hall looking down on the young man, and secretly glad that he did not choose the people in the hall to stay, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with.

Dian Wei stared at the young man and muttered, "Your Majesty, this young man is a little ugly, a little familiar!" Although Dian Wei had lowered his voice, the people in the hall still heard it.

When they heard this, they burst into laughter.

Jia Xu and Guo Jia showed solemn looks, and the people who can make Dian Wei remember are probably not simple.

Seeing the ridicule of everyone, the young man remained silent, still neither humble nor arrogant, not inferior because of his appearance, but arrogantly straightened his chest and stood quietly.

Seeing the young man like this, everyone bowed slightly.

Being able to be so many people is a bit capable.

Wang Can stared at the young man, thinking about the fact that he had taken Dian Wei and Shi A to Jingzhou in the first place. At that time, I met the person in front of me in the middle of the road. After two years, I didn't expect to meet it in Nanyang. Hearing everyone's laughter, Wang Can suddenly came back to his senses. He stood up suddenly, and said with a smile: "Shiyuan, I didn't expect to meet you in Nanyang, okay, okay!" ”

The young man in front of him is Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan.

Pang De left Jingzhou that year and went to the north, but returned disappointed, and then went south to Chengdu, and quietly visited his uncle Pang Degong and Sima Hui. Pang Tong did not stay in Chengdu, nor did he go to the Zhaoxian Hall to recommend himself, because it was not in line with Pang Tong's mind to be a small county order.

After leaving Chengdu, Pang Tong returned to Xiangyang and finally settled in Nanyang.

Pang Tong believed that Nanyang was an important battlefield for Wang Can and Cao Cao, stayed in Nanyang, and then gradually contacted Zhang Liao, and finally became Zhang Liao's staff. There is no official position at the moment, but Pang Tong believes that there will be opportunities to show his talents. Wang Can failed to subdue Pang Tong at the beginning, and now Pang Tong is helping Zhang Liao, which is indirectly equivalent to helping him. With such a relationship, Wang Can was overjoyed in his heart.

Jia Xu and Guo Jia looked at each other, and they were really tired.

Seeing this, Zhang Liao also breathed a sigh of relief.

He was most afraid that Wang Can would judge people by his appearance, but he didn't expect to know Pang Tong, and the worries in his heart disappeared.

The generals in the hall, you look at me, I look at you, and look at each other. After doing it for a long time, this extremely ugly young man in front of him actually knew His Majesty, and the relationship was not bad depending on the situation, what kind of thing is this?

For a while, all the generals regretted what they had just done.

They are blind, and they don't know Tarzan!

When Pang Tong heard Wang Can's words, he bowed slightly and said calmly: "Grass people Pang Tong, I have seen His Majesty the King of Shu. ”

Wang Can walked up to Pang Tong and said with a smile: "With Shiyuan assisting Zhang Liao, I should rest assured." ”

Regarding Wang Can's praise, Pang Tong said humbly: "Your Majesty praises falsely, and you dare not be ashamed." General Zhang is both wise and brave, both civil and military, and assisting General Zhang is just the icing on the cake. At this time, Pang Tong did not have a sharp aura, and he looked calm and atmospheric. Many encounters made Pound's personality change subtly, and he was no longer as willful and reckless as before.

Wang Can thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Shiyuan, are you willing to serve me?" ”

Pang Tong said loudly: "Isn't it to help General Zhang?" ”

Wang Can smiled: "Yes, yes! Pang Tong, I appointed you as the general of the military division to assist Zhang Liao in attacking Yuzhou. ”

A smile flashed in Pang Tong's eyes, and he bowed down and said, "Thank you." ”

At this moment, Pang Tong was still a little complacent in his heart. Because if he recommended himself in Chengdu, he could only serve as a little-known small county magistrate at most. The Battle of Nanyang was imminent, and he jumped into Longmen to become the general of Shu's military division, assisting Zhang Liao in attacking Yuzhou, which was obviously more cost-effective.

When the time comes, he will be able to reach a higher level if he plots for Zhang Liao and capture Yuzhou again.

Wang Can turned around and returned to his seat, sat down and said, "Shiyuan, Wenyuan, now that the big war is imminent, I hope the two of you will cooperate sincerely to take Yuzhou as soon as possible and attack Runan." ”

"The last general (minister) will live up to Your Majesty!"

The two of them hugged their fists and bowed to Wang Can.

At this time, it was undoubtedly the Wenchen military generals in the hall who were surprised. Pang Tong was still a grass farmer just now, and in the blink of an eye, he became one of the top real power figures in Jingzhou, and the speed of promotion was so fast that it was unimaginable.

Wang Can arranged things, and then asked people to prepare a banquet.

There are still many things to do, and it is impossible to drink alone in the open, and the guests and hosts will disperse after their pleasure.

ps: two of the three watches; At the moment, there is not a single PK ticket, let's ask for 1 PK ticket to frame the façade, thank you, thank you.
