Chapter 226: Flaws
Mencius said: If there are few people, they admire their parents; If you know how to be lustful, you will Mu Shaoai.
Pang Tong followed Sun Ce, always like a child who had not grown up, and suddenly, he stepped into puberty. As the saying goes, those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black, Pang Tong followed Sun Ce, not only did he analyze the problem like Sun Ce, but even the appearance of the beautiful woman was exactly the same as Sun Ce.
Zhang Zifu didn't give Pang Tong a good look, his apricot eyes widened, and he glared back fiercely. Pang Tong was startled, immediately lowered his head, drooped his eyelids, and didn't dare to look at Zhang Zifu head-on, so he could only use the corner of his eye to sneak aim. Zhang Zifu only cared about laughing with Feng Wan and the others, and he was the one with the loudest voice. She also loves to laugh, saying one thing, others haven't done much, she has laughed out of breath.
Pang Tong looked straight, but Zhang Zifu didn't look at him. Pang Tong was hurt.
With the support of Cai Yong and Sun Ce, Feng Wan and the others retreated satisfied, Sun Ce explained his intentions and asked Duan Xuan about his people.
Cai Yong felt insulted. "Duan Xuan? I don't know. I was in Chang'an, and the only people I contacted in Xiliang were Dong Zhuo's brothers and Jia Xu, and the others were stationed in various parts of the country, and there were no officials in the court. Duan Xuan, he seems to have been in Huayin before, how did he get here? It's not a good road. â
Sun Ce was disappointed.
"What you said about Zhang Liao, I have some impressions. Although this person is a martial artist, he is quite ambitious and can restrain his subordinates. In Chang'an, and the Liang soldiers are indulgent, for the disaster of the people is not shallow, this Zhang Liao is not allowed to his subordinates to plunder, a little out of place, so there has been no promotion, this captain is just promoted, it seems to be a job before. Hey, he doesn't seem to be from Liangzhou, but from Bingzhou, and was recommended to the General's Mansion by Ding Yuan. â
Sun Ce's heart moved, and he suddenly found a breakthrough.
That's right, Zhang Liao is a native of Bingzhou, he is not Dong Zhuo's old department, but was annexed by Dong Zhuo. He had no friends in the Xiliang Army, and he was from the same state as LĂź Bu, but he did not belong to LĂź Bu now. He later became Lu Bu's subordinate, and he was close to Lu Bu's subordinates, judging from a series of circumstances, his friendship with Lu Bu was very ordinary. LĂź Bu was defeated, and he voted for Cao Cao again. After the surrender of Cao, he and other colleagues still left immediately, and Lejin and Li Dian, who guarded Hefei together, had a bad relationship with him.
This is a very unsociable person, why did Xu Rong arrange for him to be with Duan Xuan? Is it that Xu Rong doesn't believe in Duan Xuan's ability, or does he deliberately support a subordinate who is not from Liangzhou?
In any case, the contradictions of the people of Naryo can be exploited. Historically, Jia Xu once used a discordant strategy to dissolve the coalition of Ma Chao and Han Sui, and made great contributions to Cao Cao's capture of Guanzhong. He can now also take advantage of the mutual distrust of the Liang people to divide Duan Xuan and Zhang Liao to win the first victory in the defense of Nanyang and boost morale.
With this plan, Sun Ce specially asked about the relationship with the Liang people. Cai Yong knows something. Don't look at Lu Bu is very favored by Dong Zhuo now, but the villain is not in harmony, and the people of Bingzhou and Liangzhou are both contemptible people, cruel and easy to kill, for them, everyone else is prey, and there are often conflicts between each other, and there is no harmony at all.
Sun Ce had a bottom in his heart and got up to say goodbye. After leaving the county school, Sun Ce asked, "Shiyuan, what do you think of Xu Rong's arrangement for Zhang Liao to cooperate with Duan Xuan?" â
Pang Tong was silent. Sun Ce asked twice before he reacted, and he couldn't say why. Sun Ce felt strange, and found that Pang Tong was very depressed, and he didn't have the youthful atmosphere that he had just now, and just wanted to ask him why, but when he saw his face, he suddenly understood again.
Needless to say, he was ugly and disgusted by Miss Zhang Zifu.
Men like beautiful women, and women like handsome guys. Lust has never been a man's patent. Of course, there is nothing pejorative about this term, and it is not the same thing as the concept of later generations. The reason why the master lamented that virtue is not as good as lust is not because lust is bad, but because there are few virtuous people and many lustful people, which shows that lust is the nature of people, including men and women, in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad.
"Like Zhang Zifu?"
Pang Tong nodded and shook his head again. "I ...... I ......"
"If you like it, you like it, if you don't like it, you don't like it, what's the matter if you nod and shake your head?" Sun Ce quipped: "After the fourteenth year of the year, you can propose marriage, and when this battle is over, invite your uncle Pang Degong to Wancheng and propose marriage to Zhang Gong." â
"I ...... I'm afraid I'm ugly and not worthy of her. Pang Tong muttered.
"The key to a man is not whether he looks good or not, but whether he has a sense of responsibility and whether he has the ability to support a family. You are so smart, it is the luck of his Zhang family to find you as a son-in-law. â
Pang Tong is Sun Ce's confidant, why Sun Ce kept Zhang Xun, he knows it clearly, Sun Ce doesn't have to pretend in front of him, he speaks a lot more directly. Pang Tong was still a little hesitant, worried that Zhang Zifu would dislike him, or Zhang Xun would dislike his background. The Pang family has a small reputation in Xiangyang, but the Pang family has not had any official eunuchs, at most they can only be regarded as small and powerful, not even a local family.
"Okay, it's useless to be sad, let this matter go for a while, and talk about it when you come back from the battle. If it really doesn't work, then grab it. â
"Grab ...... Rob? Pang Tong was taken aback.
"Why are you so surprised?" Sun Ce laughed and lowered his voice. "It's okay, this matter is my family's ancestral, and it's foolproof."
Pang Tong wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh, and his expression was a little strange.
Sun Ce did not return to Taishou Mansion and went directly to Deng Zhan's barracks. To deal with Duan Xuan and Zhang Liao, he needs the help of Deng Zhan, a martial arts master.
Sun Ce immediately rushed to the baggage camp and asked Huang Chengyan to transfer 500 Wugang cars. These chariots were walled with thickened planks, which could be used to transport goods when marching and as a barracks when camping, and the walls of the vehicles could block the close-range shooting of bows and arrows, comparable to large shields.
The only regret is that despite the adoption of a competition, the craftsmen of the baggage camp have come up with dozens of schemes, but they have not been able to design a four-wheeled vehicle with practical value. For this reason, Huang Yueying is very angry, often angry, jumping and scolding like a little tigress.
Two days later, Sun Ce prepared the grain and grass baggage, handed over Wancheng to Yan Xiang, Du Ji and others, left Deng Zhan in charge of the army, and took Huang Zhong, Qin Mu and more than 10,000 people out of Wancheng and rushed to Licheng. He didn't walk very fast, only thirty miles a day, but he made a lot of noise. The seal of the general left by Yuan Shu has been useless to him, but the guard of honor of the general has been brought, blowing and playing all the way, which is very lively.
Soon, the figure of Xiliang scouts appeared around the team.
Sun Ce turned a blind eye to the scouts, and he wrote a handwritten letter for people to send to Licheng. This letter was not addressed to Duan Xuan, but to Zhang Liao. In the letter, he greatly promoted and worshipped Zhang Liao, and after calling him a righteous man, he and Lu Bu were called famous generals in northern Xinjiang, bravely crowning all the armies, and claimed that this time he did not come to relieve the siege, but only one purpose: to compete with Zhang Liao.
