The three points of the world that Pang Tong talked about, although it was not as fine as Zhuge Liang in the story that Lu Bu had heard, he explained the truth of the three points.

Lu Bu stood up and saluted: "Dare to ask where is Mr. now?" ”

"But idle clouds and wild cranes travel everywhere, how can there be any high place." Pang Tong smiled bitterly and shook his head.

He was born with an ugly appearance, and some people refused to use it even if they knew that he was talented.

But he is arrogant by nature.

After a few days as a servant in some places, he would resign from his post and continue his travels.

came to Shouchun to ask to see Lu Bu, but he had the mentality of trying, and he didn't expect anything.

But Lu Bu was different from anyone he had ever met.

pretended to be crazy in front of Lu Bu, not only was he not driven away as a madman, but he was also invited into the main hall as a guest.

Lu Bu's actions had already moved Pang Tong's heart.

When he said that he had traveled around and had not yet found a job anywhere, Lu Bu hurriedly asked, "Dare to ask sir, how about staying with me and making a long history?" ”

Changshi is an extremely high status among local officials.

Pang Tong once thought that as long as someone was willing to give him a petty official and let him have a place to use his skills, he would do his best to assist.

The moment Lu Bu invited him to enter the main hall, Pang Tong expected that he would be left behind.

He only thought that it would be good to be a military advisor under Lu Bu.

The military advisor, equivalent to the staff officer of later generations, has no military power.

To his surprise, Lu Bu did not give him such an idle position, but directly put a long history on his head.

Pang Tong looked at Lu Bu in astonishment, his face showing disbelief.

He didn't respond, and Lu Bu asked, "Sir, are you willing to stay?" ”

Under his urging, Pang Tong was stunned for a moment: "Wen Hou is willing to keep me, wouldn't it be unkind if I resigned?" ”

Pang Tongken stayed, and Lu Bu was suddenly overjoyed: "Later, when the banquet is placed, I want to have a few more drinks with my husband." ”

Before the banquet was served, Pang Tong also told Lu Bu about his expression.

In fact, not long after the Battle of Xiapi, although Lu Bu worked hard and there was a lot of development in various parts of Xuzhou, the resources were still slightly lacking.

What's more, they were not in Xuzhou at this time, but in Huainan County, which belonged to the Yangzhou Thorn History Department.

Huainan has been exploited by Yuan Shu for many years, and later experienced several wars, and has long been withered.

Although the palace is still intact, the supplies here are more scarce than in Xuzhou.

The so-called wine banquet is nothing more than a few boiled wild vegetables and a serving of meat.

Lu Bu picked up the wine glass: "I will catch the wind for Shiyuan in this cup, please drink it full!" ”

He toasted in person, Pang Tong was flattered, and hurriedly stood up with a wine glass: "How dare you bother Wen Hou to toast." ”

"Drink this cup first!" Lu Bu gestured, tilted his neck and drank the wine cleanly.

Yan Xiang and the others also accompanied them to have a drink.

After three glasses of wine in a row, Lu Bu asked Pang Tong: "Shiyuan said that there is a way to defeat Sun Ce, I don't know what the way is?" ”

"Sun Ce went to Wancheng, and he planned to rely on Jiangdong to fight a decisive battle with Wenhou." Pang Tong said: "As long as Wen Hou can't let him out of Anhui City, what else can he do?" ”

"He's no ordinary character." Lu Bu said with a smile: "I have fought with Sun Ce, if you want to talk about Wu Yong, he should be on a par with Zilong, Shuzhi and others. If he had spotted where we were not there, it would not have been difficult to break through and escape. ”

"It's just the first step to keep him out of Anhui City." Pang Tong said: "There is one more step, which is to take down Jiangdong first while he has not come out yet!" ”

Lu Bu was stunned: "Shiyuan means that I want to take Jiangdong first?" ”

"In addition to taking Jiangdong, Wen Hou thinks there is still a foothold in the world?" Pang Tong asked rhetorically.

"Xuzhou is also in my hands." Lu Bu said: "Now that I have obtained a small half of Huainan and Lujiang, the Jianghuai area should also be able to gain a foothold." How could Shi Yuan say that if you don't take Jiangdong, there is no place for me to stand in the world? ”

"Wenhou has more than Xuzhou." Pang Tong shook his head and smiled: "As far as I know, there are still some places in the south of Qingzhou, which are actually under the control of Wen Hou. ”

"That's true." Lu Bu nodded: "Since I left Chang'an back then, I have never owned such a large territory. ”

"But none of this is stable." Pang Tong asked: "I only ask Wen Hou one thing, compared with the Yuan family and the Cao family, which one is stronger than Wen Hou?" ”

"The Yuan family in Hebei has deep roots and leaves, and it is not something I can shake for the time being." Lu Bu said: "There are countless fierce generals around Cao Cao, and there are countless wise men, and it is not something I can deal with. ”

"Since Wen Hou also knows, then I don't need to say more." Pang Tong said: "Although Sun Ce is entrenched in Jiangdong, Jiangdong is not stable today. As long as Wen Hou led his troops to break through the Yangtze River, he captured the Sun family. He doesn't want to be effective, but he has to be effective! ”

In fact, Lu Bu also thought that Xuzhou was too close to the Cao family.

Once the Battle of Guandu begins, no matter which side he is on, and no matter what the final outcome is, he will be the target of the winner's crusade.

If Cao Cao wins, he will definitely pull out the thorn in his eye.

And if the Yuan family wins, in order to expand to the south, Yuan Shao will definitely point the finger at Lu Bu.

No matter how you choose, Lu Bu, who is guarding Xuzhou, seems to be a dead end.

"If I get Jiangdong, will it be difficult to lose Xuzhou?" Lu Bu said: "I have been operating in Xuzhou for a short time, and there are still coal mines in Pengcheng that I have recently mined. ”

"Wen Hou said that it was important to get to the point." Pang Tong replied: "I have also heard of coal mines, where the stones mined can be burned. Outside of Xuzhou, many workshops are hoping to get some coal. ”

"And such a thing?" Lu Bu asked in surprise, "Where did Shiyuan hear about it?" ”

"Someone sent all the coal to Hebei, and the whole world knows about it, doesn't Wenhou know?" Pang Tong asked in some surprise.

Lu Bu was stunned, he really didn't know that Shangjia actually sold all the coal to other places outside Xuzhou.

"Wenhou sits on coal, and the Yuan family in Hebei and the Cao family in Xudu have been staring at it for a long time." Pang Tong said: "The two families are powerful, and they will fight on a day without avoiding their edge, does Wen Hou still plan to fight in Xiapi again?" ”

Pang Tong did not shy away from mentioning the battle of Xiapi, Lu Bu was fine, but Zhang Liao's face became very ugly.

Among the people present, only Zhang Liao experienced the battle of Xiapi, and he also knew what kind of dilemma Lu Bu was facing at that time.

Mentioning that battle in person, Pang Tong was tantamount to revealing Lu Bu's original scars.

"I'm afraid Mr. Pang said this, I'm ......," Zhang Liao interjected.

Lu Bu raised his hand to stop him, and said to Pang Tong: "What Shiyuan said is also right, but I will never throw Xuzhou away." I want to take Jiangdong, I want to protect Xuzhou, and I want to fight for the world! Whoever fights with me, I will definitely accompany him to fight to the end! ”
