Xiangyang City, Jingzhou, this ancient city is the cultural, economic and military center of Jiangnan.

It is the base camp of Liu Biao, the princes of Jingzhou.

Inside Liu Biao's mansion.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......." Liu Biao was holding the tea, and before he could drink it, he coughed.

Liu Bei looked over, and it was said that Liu Biao's body was getting worse day by day, and it seemed to be true.

Liu Bei couldn't help but recall what Zhuge Liang once said, Liu Biao had two sons, the eldest son Liu Qi's mother died early, and the second son Liu Cong's uncle was Cai Mao, the governor of Jingzhou.

If Liu Biao suddenly hangs up, it will be difficult for the eldest son to inherit the inheritance.

But Liu Qi is the eldest son, has a moral advantage, and also has a certain number of supporters, and he can use Liu Qi to justifiably compete for Jingzhou.

Liu Biao put down the teacup and looked at Liu Bei, "Xuande, I heard that Yuan Tan's attack on Hedong is bound to win, and that place is too close to Yuan Tan's forces. I think it is better to write to persuade Cao Cao to withdraw from Hedong and defend along the river. ”

Liu Bei couldn't help but be impressed by the strategic vision of this clan elder brother, so he said: "Brother, in fact, this time I sent troops at the request of Duke Cao, not to compete with Yuan Tan for a while. ”

He also said: "This is to deal a blow to Yuan Tan's arrogance, and if we don't send troops as allies, the people of the world will despise us." ”

Liu Biao lowered his eyebrows and pondered, in fact, Liu Biao didn't want to waste money and food to send troops. But he is old, and he doesn't want to be scolded by the world for being ruthless and unrighteous before he dies.

So, Liu Biao agreed to send troops to support Cao Cao, but only gave Liu Bei 15,000 men.

Liu Biao looked at Liu Bei, "I will write to Zhang Xiu in Wancheng and ask him to come up with five thousand people." After all, we don't want to fight Yuan Tan head-on, I think this kind of force is already enough, what do you say? ”

For Liu Bei, it was beyond expectations to be able to have an army of 20,000 to go out, and he got up and said, "What my brother said is very true. ”

At the same time, in Xiangyang City, the mansion of Pang Degong.

Pang Degong is a famous man in the sea and Pang Tong's uncle. Like Sima Hui's water mirror, Zhuge Liang's 'Wolong', and Pang Tong's 'phoenix', those are all good names given by Pang Degong.

Fuzhong, a small courtyard.

Pang Tong is packing his bags, he is about to leave home, and his goal is the Northland. went to follow his former brother Bohu, that is, Prime Minister Yuan Tan.

"Young master, young master, your sworn enemy is here!"

The appearance of a family member offering treasure came to ventilate the news.

"Zhuge Liang is here!"

Pang Tong immediately put down his bags, "What is he doing here?" ”

"I heard that I came to say goodbye to Pound." Jia Ding Road.

Pang Tong decided to eavesdrop immediately.

Less.

After all, Pang Tong was the young master in the mansion, and he successfully entered the eavesdropping position in the back hall.

I saw that in the hall, Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and was talking to Pang Degong.

For Zhuge Liang in spring, summer, autumn and winter, Zhentian pretending to be forced with a fan, Pang Tong is quite unpleasant.

"Pang Degong, the little nephew is going to serve Uncle Liu Huang, thank you for taking care of you for many years." Zhuge Liang left the table and fell to the ground, and said in a positive way.

"Kong Ming, get up, say this and you'll see the outside." Pang Degong motioned Zhuge Liang to get up, touched his beard, and showed a look of memory, "Your eldest brother went to serve Sun Ce in Jiangdong, and now you are leaving." In the future, it's time for you young people to show their strength. ”

Pang Degong asked: "Kong Ming, now Prime Minister Yuan is like the sky, and the people of the world are spreading the name of his benevolence. It seems that Mr. Xu Shao saw a good thing back then, why don't you go to work for Prime Minister Yuan? Although Liu Bei also has a reputation, he only has a small land, how to develop in this troubled era? ”

The corners of Zhuge Liang's mouth curled, thinking that they were all pedantic, and only he could see that Liu Bei also had great development potential. Moreover, only his own ability can make him develop.

When he assists Liu Bei to achieve the hegemony of the emperor, what will the people of the world think?

"The personal philosophy is different...... Zhuge Liang said smoothly, and said: "Uncle Liu Huang treats me well, and I can't bear to refuse him." ”

When Pang Tong heard this in the back, he sneered again and again, and said Zhuge Liang, you are a stinky jar, you are so high-minded, you have offended everyone, no one cares about you, you go to work for people who no one cares about.

However, Pang Tong still admires Zhuge Liang very much, after all, choosing the most pitiful prince, in this case, must have a certain amount of courage.

Pang Degong nodded slightly, he has his own ideals and future, he will not interfere, so he started another topic:

"I heard that Prime Minister Yuan Cheng and Cao Chengcheng fought fiercely in Hedong, and Prime Minister Yuan Cheng's troops were strong and strong, and only Hedong was left in the hands of Cao Cao north of the Yellow River, so Cao Cao may not be able to defend for a long time."

"If Prime Minister Yuan gets Hedong, it will not be good news for other people with lofty ideals in the world."

In fact, now that discerning people know that the world has entered the process of changing the dynasty, then Yuan Tan's continuous growth is indeed not good news for other people who are aspiring to dominate the world.

And Zhuge Liang is a person who assists the Ming Lord in his struggle to dominate the world, and it seems that Pang Degong's words are not casual nonsense.

Zhuge Liang thought to himself, old man, you finally said this.

In fact, Zhuge Liang had been waiting for a long time, and immediately said: "Boss, don't hide it, my lord Uncle Liu Huang will go to support Cao Gong today." This time, Lord Liu Jingzhou and General Zhang Xiu will send troops to help. ”

"Oh? How are you going to deal with the enemy Prime Minister Yuan? Before Pang Degong's voice fell, he became embarrassed and said ashamedly: "When this is a secret, I lost my words." ”

Zhuge Liang hurriedly hugged the fan and saluted, and said: "If there is no boss, my three Zhuge brothers would have starved to death in the mountain, and the boss is as kind to me as a mountain, and there is no secret matter here in the boss." ”

Sycophants! Pang Tong grinned in the back.

Sure enough, Pang Degong was greatly relieved, and said with a straight face: "Kong Ming, then how do you deal with the enemy Prime Minister Yuan?" You tell me and I'll keep it a secret for you. ”

Pang Degong's character, saying that he would never tell anyone. It seems that Pang Degong asked for a strategy, and he was also itching to know some inside information.

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and said calmly: "Hedong is lonely for Cao Cao on the north bank of the Yellow River, but it is actually undefensible. I plan to persuade Cao Cao to give up Hedong, then Yuan Tan will definitely chase after me, so I will set up an ambush ...... in Funiu Mountain. ”

As Zhuge Liang spoke, Pang Degong kept nodding his head, and finally sighed, "If you succeed, Kong Ming, you will also be famous all over the world." ”

Zhuge Liang's face was full of red light, and he was humble again and again.

And Pang Tong, who was eavesdropping in the back, turned pale, this kid is too poisonous, are you here to support others to defend the city? You are clearly a cheater to make a name for yourself.

There are also pits on both sides.

Sure enough: pig, you have two pits in your nose, one pits enemies, and one pits allies .......

Pang Tong hurriedly slipped away.
