Chapter 75: The Storm Rises
Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong looked at each other.
In a few words, Zhao Zilong actually rushed over, but left in a hurry?
However, it's okay for Zhao Yun to leave, so as not to embarrass Zhuge Liang later.
With the reasons of the original owner's previous life, coupled with the cause and effect of the Han family, Liu Bei must assist Liu Bei in this life. Therefore, when I went to Xuzhou, I laid out Liu Bei by the way. However, from today's point of view, what Liu Bei did was quite disappointing to him.
Of course, it's just a bit of a disappointment.
Going out of the mountain to assist Liu Bei, he Zhuge Liang is still necessary.
It's just that this time, he Zhuge Liang has to take care of it.
Sangu Maolu, maybe he doesn't need it, but it's not that Liu Bei sent a Zhao Yun to invite him, and he can invite Zhuge Liang out of the mountain.
Leaning slightly, Pang Tong drank another bowl of tea and said with a smile: "That's fine, after Uncle Liu Huang's defeat, he can even show that Kong Ming is extremely intelligent." At that time, presumably Uncle Liu Huang would also come to Longzhong in person and ask Kong Ming to come out of the mountain to help. ”
Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and said with a smile: "Brother Shiyuan's words today, Uncle Liu Huang will definitely know." Wolong and phoenix chicks, presumably Uncle Liu Huang will be more urgent when he comes to Longzhong! ”
Wolong and phoenix chicks, you can settle the world with one thing, this rumor has not yet spread in Jingxiang.
However, today, Pang Tong in front of Zhao Yun's opinion, Liu Bei will inevitably know, coupled with the name of Wolong and Phoenix, Liu Bei can't come to Longzhong in person, especially after the defeat of Xuzhou this time.
The power of the strategist, after the defeat of Xuzhou this time, Liu Bei will have a clear understanding.
Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong sat in the grass house, and they could judge the success or failure of Xuzhou, which was thousands of miles away, compared to Chen Deng, which was better and which was inferior, at a glance. Even Chen Deng, the guy who specializes in acting as a second or fifth boy, Liu Bei can treat him as a guest, not to mention Zhuge Liang and Pang Tonghu?
Of course, although Liu Bei is bound to lose, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong are not worried about his life and death.
When he greeted Zhao Yun just now, don't look at how dangerous Pang Tong said, in fact, he and Zhuge Liang both knew that Liu Bei's failure in Xuzhou was inevitable, but he would not die. With the support of Yu and Zhang Fei, as long as Liu Bei does not die, it is still no problem to kill Xuzhou.
Later generations joked, Liu Ranran's name, is it a waste of fame?
……
The sun was approaching, and Pang Tong had no intention of leaving, it was obvious that he wanted to stay and have a meal.
At this time, another fast horse came on the mountain road, and after a while, a strong man jumped off the horse in front of the grass hall.
"Is Mr. Kong Ming at home?" The strong man stopped in front of the grass hall and asked.
Zhuge Liang walked out of the cottage, and Lu Qiling also came up, thinking that he was guarding.
"Where did the strong man come from?" Zhuge Liang asked.
Zhuge Liang definitely didn't know this person.
It's just that looking at this person's outfit and that powerful appearance, Zhuge Liang faintly guessed.
After bowing down, the strong man held a heavy bamboo slip in both hands and said, "The little one is ordered by my master to come and hand over this thing to Mr. Kong Ming." As he spoke, he offered it to both sides.
Lu Qiling took a few steps forward and took the bamboo slip from the strong man's hand.
The strong man arched his hand to Zhuge Liang, turned over and got on the horse, and went down the mountain in an instant.
This scene is inexplicable to see Pang Tong.
In the thatched hall, Zhuge Liang unfolded the bamboo slips and knew where this strong man came from.
The so-called snake has a snake road, and Zhuge Liang has his own sources.
Today's bamboo slip is a piece of news copied by someone and specially sent to Longzhong.
Pang Tong was curious and asked, "What kind of book is this, which is worth making such a big deal about?" ”
Zhuge Liang smiled and handed the bamboo slips that he hadn't finished reading to Pang Tong.
"It's not a book, it's a copy, Brother Shiyuan will know it when you look at it."
The content in the text, Zhuge Liang only read the first few sentences, and knew the content of the following, and he didn't need to read the whole text.
Pang Tong took the bamboo slip and read: "Gai Wenming's main plan is to control the change, and the loyal ministers are worried that it will be difficult to establish power......"
After a while, Pang Tong finished reading, and muttered for a long time, before he high-fived and praised: "Good writing, good pen!" ”
"Chen Lin's "Essay on Asking for Thieves" is worth 100,000 troops!"
After reading the whole article, Pang Tong understood that this was Chen Lin's "Essay on Asking for Thieves", which called on the world's military and civilian Qin kings, and scolded Cao Cao's ancestors for eight generations, this thief is naturally Cao Cao.
Chen Lin is currently serving as a writer under Yuan Shao's account, and the meaning behind this essay is self-evident.
This is the prelude to Yuan Shao's decisive battle with Cao Cao!
The wars of the Chinese dynasties, especially the Great Wars, have always been famous for their teachers.
Moreover, before the big war, the side that took the initiative to attack would generally issue an article denouncing the other party.
As if you were so righteous and awe-inspiring!
……
"Asking for Thieves", naturally it is impossible for everyone to have a share, but in the hands of every prince and every county guard, there must be one. The text sent to Zhuge Liang was specially sent to Longzhong after someone copied it.
Pang Tong read the "Essay on Asking for Thieves" again silently, and said with some hesitation: "As soon as this essay comes out, is it the danger of Xuzhou?" ”
The implication is that Yuan Shaodu is so obvious that he is going to crusade against Cao Cao. Cao Cao was only afraid that he was deploying troops and preparing to face Yuan Shao at this time, where did he still have the heart to pay attention to Liu Bei.
Without Cao Cao's concerns, Liu Bei would be able to develop Xuzhou with peace of mind.
In the coming day, when Yuan Cao fought a decisive battle, Liu Bei would be able to pull Cao Cao's hind legs fiercely.
Of course, this is just Pang Tong's wishful thinking, but Zhuge Liang doesn't see it that way.
"One thing is inevitable, that is, Cao Cao absolutely does not want to see the enemy on his belly and back. Therefore, before the decisive battle with Yuan Shao, he must solve the Xuzhou problem. Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly.
"There is another thing that is also inevitable."
"Yuan Shao has just pacified Youzhou, and the lost soldiers, horses, money and food can only be replenished slightly after the summer harvest. Moreover, it would take at least two months to assemble all the soldiers, horses, money, and grain from the Qingyou and Hebei prefectures and counties to the front line of the Yellow River. ”
"So much time is enough for Cao Cao to sweep Xuzhou several times."
"Therefore, whether there is this article or not, for Uncle Liu Huang, the result is doomed."
"On the contrary, after Cao Cao received this article, he would only send troops to exterminate Xuzhou faster."
Later historical records record that Liu Bei grabbed food this time, wanting to take advantage of Yuan Cao's decisive battle to snatch Xuzhou, the idea was good, but the result was doomed. Cao Cao will not sit idly by and watch his back be unstable, and Liu Bei's various factors are also destined for him to not be able to hold Xuzhou.
……
At dusk, the sky suddenly rolled up clouds, and dark clouds suddenly rose, which soon obscured the sunset. At this time, Wollongong was also stormy, and it seemed that a violent storm was coming. On a June day, like a child's little face, it changes when it is said.
Zhuge Liang sighed by the window: "The wind is up!" ”
