In the romance of later generations, Cao Cao boiled wine with green plums, and discussed with Liu Bei all the princes of the world; It is an allusion to the heroes of the green plum boiled wine. It's just that the final result of the green plum boiling wine is that the hero of the world is the opponent, Cao Liu!

In the name of studying tours, Pang Tong searched all over the world, looking for a master worthy of his assistance.

But the final result was not very satisfactory to Pang Tong.

In the eyes of Pang Tong, many princes in the world are either cowardly and incompetent, or mediocre masters who can't know how to make good use of people, or reckless people, or nominal guys, none of them can enter his Pang Tong's eyes.

It's just that Pang Tong has counted all the princes in the world, why didn't he say Cao Cao?

He didn't talk about Liu Bei, and he could still say it. After all, today's Liu Bei is not a prince, and even many "talented people" have nothing to do with Liu Bei.

"Brother Shi Yuan has counted the princes of the world, but he has not belittled Cao Cao, could it be that this Cao Mengde may be the buyer of Brother Shi Yuan?" Zhuge Liang pretended to be curious and asked.

In the previous life of the original owner, Pang Tong and Xu Shu were all under the account of Liu Biao in Jingzhou. Even, if Liu Biao didn't die too quickly, and the situation in Jingzhou changed too quickly, even the original owner might have been born from Liu Biao.

Because, according to the plan of the master, one of the three points of the world is Jingzhou Liu Biao.

The master selected by the master is Liu Jingzhou.

This is not only the case of the original owner in the previous life, but also in this life, and most of the teachers are afraid that they were also chosen in this way.

Therefore, according to the development trajectory of the previous life, the first place for Pang Tong to appear should be under the account of Liu Biao in Jingzhou.

It's just that Liu Biao can't know how to make good use of people, and after his defeat, Pang Tong Xianyun Yehe wandered to Jiangdong again, wanting to serve Sun Quan but couldn't get it, and finally switched to Uncle Liu Huang's account.

It's just that now, Pang Tong has rejected most of the princes in the world, but only Cao Cao has been missed, what does this mean?

Pang Tong was already slightly drunk at this time, and when he heard Zhuge Liang ask, his eyes were hazy, but his words were very clear: "Cao Cao, a capable minister who rules the world, and a hero in troubled times." ”

"Its strength is not comparable to Yuan Shao, its courage is not comparable to Sun Ce, its soldiers are not as good as Xiliang Xiaoqi, and its rule is not as peaceful as Jing and Shu. However, Cao Cao has the Son of Heaven in his hands, the bull's ear who rules the world. ”

"With the Son of Heaven in hand, he will occupy the righteousness, and he will be able to crusade against all kinds of unsubordinate."

"Therefore, among the many princes in this world, if there is anyone who is the lord of Ming, he Cao Cao is still one."

Pang Tong's evaluation of Cao Cao, compared with other princes, really seemed positive.

Does this mean that he Pang Shiyuan is optimistic about Cao Cao?

I only heard Pang Tong continue: "It's just that the current situation is extremely unfavorable to Cao Cao. ”

"Cao Cao's right now, the south can't send troops to sweep Jingxiang, and there is Jiangdong Sun Ce's eyeing him; The west can not be anyongliang thought to be the rear; It is impossible for Yuan Shao of Hebei to let him become strong and prosperous one day. Therefore, there must be a battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. ”

"This battle can basically determine the future trend of the world."

In the current situation, there are only a few people in the world who can see that Yuan Cao will have a battle.

Of course, many monks may also see that this battle is coming.

The original owner, Zhuge Liang, did not expect this battle, I don't know, but Zhuge Liang in this world only "predicted" the battle of Yuan Cao according to the historical materials of later generations. Pang Tong just walked around the Central Plains, and he could see in advance that there would be a battle between Yuan Cao, which shows that his intelligence is indeed a miracle.

"It's just that Yuan Cao is in a decisive battle, but I am not very optimistic about Cao Cao." Pang Tong continued.

"No matter how much Yuan Shao is a mediocre master, this is his peak time; When the time comes, the land of the four states will attack Cao Cao, the soldiers will be full of food, and there will be no worries, how can they not win? ”

"On the other hand, Cao Cao's territories are mostly newly occupied land, and he has not yet had time to recuperate; There are many soldiers, horses, money, and food, and there is a shortage. ”

"Moreover, Cao Cao still has worries."

"Cao Cao's coercion of the Son of Heaven to make the benefits of the princes have already made the princes of all walks of life coveted. When Cao Cao and Yuan Shao fought a decisive battle, how could Liu Biao, Ma Teng, and Sun Ce, who were adjacent to Xuchang, not send troops to attack Xuchang in order to seize the Son of Heaven? ”

"Cao Cao is in such a critical situation, in fact, it is the time for me to come out of the mountain and turn the tide."

"It's a pity that Cao Cao already has Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Chen Yu and other advisers around him, and the new people who serve him are afraid that it will be difficult to get ahead."

"Moreover, Cao Cao is a person with unparalleled power and wisdom, and if Guo Jia and others are just ministers at this time. Thinking of me, Pang Tong, such a good head, not the mastermind, how can I be a master? ”

……

For example, the princes today, who can be his Pang Tonggong, count them, and there is really only Cao Mengde left.

It's just that Cao Cao already has three major advisers around him, who are his henchmen; If he Pang Tong is from Cao Cao, if he wants to be reused in a short time, I am afraid that it will be impossible.

Pang Tong didn't know, but Zhuge Liang knew that Sima Yi's intelligence and scheming were no less than their Wolong and Phoenix Chicks, right?

However, after the Battle of Chibi, Sima Yi surrendered to Cao Cao, which can be described as sending carbon in the snow.

Even so, Sima Yi is under Cao Cao's account, but he is not even a minister!

If it weren't for Cao Pi's later succession, would there be Sima Yi's early days?

In fact, Cao Cao himself has good intelligence, and he is also proficient in power and strategy, such as Zhuge Liang, such a talented person, if he is born in Cao Cao and cannot gain Cao Cao's trust, at most he will be in a small county order.

Even if he can gain Cao Cao's trust?

For example, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, and Chen Yu are not weaker than him Zhuge Liang, but under Cao Cao's banner, Xun Yu and Guo Jia's generation are just a strategist, and they are not masterminds.

Not for the mastermind, not to mention Pang Tong, even if he Zhuge Liang, how can he go out of the mountain?

Even if he is out of office, I am afraid that he will sit back and watch the success or failure.

Just like the original owner's previous life, Pang Tong was born in Liu Biao in Jingzhou at the beginning, but in the end he just sat and watched Liu Biao fall. If Pang Tong really assisted Liu Biao, even if he was just a minister, how could there be the disaster of Liu Jingzhou's defeat?

……

Those who seek ministers are at most equivalent to the staff officers of later generations; It is possible to make a suggestion, but whether this suggestion is ultimately adopted depends on the will of the lord. Their suggestions are only for reference, and the final decision-making power is still in the hands of the lord.

Just like Xun Yu and them, they can provide all kinds of advice to Cao Cao, but in the end, Cao Cao has to make his own decisions.

The mastermind is equivalent to the chief of the General Staff. As long as the advice put forward by the mastermind is not outrageously wrong, the master will take it. Although the decision-making power is in the hands of the lord, more often than not, the power is still delegated to the mastermind.

Just like the original owner in his previous life, he was the mastermind.

After the original owner went out of the mountain to assist Uncle Liu Huang in his previous life, Liu Bei almost obeyed all kinds of suggestions. Even later, when Uncle Liu Huang went to Jiangdong to get married, he entrusted Jingzhou to him; Later, the White Emperor City entrusted Gu and entrusted the entire Shu Han to him Zhuge Liang.

This is the mastermind's compulsion!

Whether it is Pang Tong or Zhuge Liang, in fact, they all think very highly of themselves, and if they want to go out of the mountain, they will all go to the position of the mastermind. The position of a mere advisor is naturally not in their consideration.

……

After a conversation, Zhuge Liang was a little puzzled.

One of the three people selected by the master to go out of the mountain is this Pang Shiyuan. However, now listening to the many talks of this Pang Tong, it seems that he still doesn't know that the master has already selected the princes who need to be assisted.

Isn't that something you can use?

Zhuge Liang didn't want to win over Pang Tong, and then fight against the master; But he didn't want Pang Tong to follow the arrangement of the division and assist Liu Jingsheng. Since Wolong and Phoenix Chicks have to work together sooner or later, and since he Zhuge Liang wants to go out of the mountain in advance to assist Liu Bei, why didn't he pull Pang Tong early and get on Liu Bei's small sampan together?

After pondering for a long time, Zhuge Liang felt that this was something to try Pang Tong's idea.

"Brother Shiyuan can know that around the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, the Greedy Wolf Star Lu Bu fell, causing a short-term disorder in the heavens; The master uncle in our sect took the opportunity to spy on the heavenly opportunity, and has already deduced that my sect needs to assist the master? Zhuge Liang asked.

Sure enough, Pang Tong didn't seem to know the news, and asked in surprise, "Who is it?" ”

Gain, once the division chooses a certain prince as the master, it is he Pang Tong who finally comes out of the mountain.

Of course, Zhuge Liang is also indispensable when he goes out of the mountain.

It's just that if he doesn't get the approval of his Pang Tong, even if it is the princes selected by the division, he Pang Tong will not recognize it. When the time comes, it can't be said that it will be soy sauce, and if you are a monk for a day, you will hit the bell for a day!

Zhuge Liang replied: "Who is it, and there is no clear news from the master. However, it is said that when the time comes, there will be a three-third trend in the world for thirty years, and one of them is the one selected by our master, and it seems that he is still a descendant of the Han Queen. ”

Three points in the world?

Ming's surname is Liu?

Pang Tong was so smart that he instantly thought of who it was.

"Liu Jingzhou?" Pang Tong exclaimed in disbelief.

In fact, whether it is the historical records of later generations, or the predictions of some powerful people in this era, one of the three points of the world is Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and there is nothing Liu Bei has to do at all.

Pang Tong thinks so, and it is no exception.

Zhuge Liang said: "It seems to be him, but I don't dare to agree." ”

It stands to reason that after he Zhuge Liang gets married, this Liu Biao is his uncle, and this kind of kinship, there is no big problem for him to go out of the mountain to assist him. The arrangement of the master is like this, and the cause and effect that he Zhuge Liang owes to the big man can also be counted in the same way.

It's just that if he Zhuge Liang goes out of the mountain to assist Liu Biao, what should Liu Bei do?

The bonds that belonged to the original owner in the previous life are not so easy to return!

Besides, as Pang Tong just said, it's just that this Liu Jingzhou's name doesn't match the truth, not only can he not know how to use people well, but he also stepped into the coffin with half a foot, but he didn't set up a son, he Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong went out of the mountain to assist Liu Biao, isn't he asking for trouble?

"There are three points in the world, the descendants of the Han Queen, and Liu Biao is not the only one who responds to the order!" Zhuge Liang cut the railway.

These words resonated with Pang Tong: "Yes, which green onion is he Liu Jingsheng worthy of my Pang Tong's assistance?!" ”

It's just that, after saying this, Pang Tong said annoyedly: "If we want to meet this requirement of the master, who else can we choose?" ”

"Liu Zhang of Xichuan? Wouldn't he be even more wasteful! ”

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Neither Liu Biao nor Liu Zhang, but Uncle Liu Huang, who has just been enshrined by the Son of Heaven!" ”
