When Cao Shuo left the barracks, Zhao Yun presided over the drills of the soldiers.

"Do you think Zilong is capable of leading so many soldiers and horses?" Cao Shuo asked Pang Tong.

"I think I can do it." Pang Tong said: "General Zhao is loyal and loyal to his son, and if he puts the soldiers in his hands, the son can rest assured." ”

"Actually, I'm at ease with everyone." Cao Shuo said: "Including General Lu. ”

"If Childe doesn't add this, I really believe it." Pang Tong smiled slightly, and said to Cao Shuo: "After all, General Lu once led the troops and horses to seize Xuzhou, although Gongzi believed in him, he was not as unscrupulous as General Zhao, otherwise with General Lu's talent, it would be most suitable to lead the army." ”

"Seeing through and not saying through is the real great wisdom." Cao Shuo smiled and patted Pang Tong's arm: "Shiyuan is still too young. ”

Pang Tong smiled and didn't say anything.

"I've been worried about Xu Yuanzhi." Cao Shuo said: "He has always refused to show up, is it because he doesn't want to work for me? ”

"Childe, don't think too much." Pang Tong said: "Xu Yuanzhi has never met with Gongzi, and he doesn't understand Gongzi's personality, and it is reasonable that he has some ideas and practices that do not conform to Gongzi's heart. ”

"In addition to Xu Yuanzhi, there is actually another person." Cao Shuo asked, "Does Shi Yuan know Nanyang Zhuge Liang?" ”

"Is Childe talking about Zhuge Kongming?" Pang Tong asked.

"It's him." Cao Shuo said: "I heard that he has a talent for the heavens and the earth, but I want to see it." ”

"Zhuge Liang does have some skills." Pang Tong said: "He and I have met in Mr. Sima Hui's house in the past, it is said that my name is Feng Xiao, he is called Wolong, and we are often talked about together. ”

"If you talk about talent, is Zhuge Kongming stronger, or Shiyuan stronger?" Cao Shuo asked suddenly.

Pang Tong thought for a while and said: "I am not as good as him in governing the world, and he is not as good as me in troubled times." ”

"How?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Kong Ming rules the world, I'm afraid there are few people who can compare with him." Pang Tong said: "But he is not as good as me when he fights with soldiers." ”

Looking at Pang Tong, Cao Shuo asked: "You two should not have led troops in the past, how does Shi Yuan know that he is not as good as you when he leads troops to fight?" ”

"You don't need to bring troops, take a walk on the sand table, and you will understand." Pang Tong said: "In Mr. Sima Hui's house, he has never beaten me. ”

"If I want to recruit him, how sure does Shi Yuan think?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Not a single point." Pang Tong said: "Zhuge Kongming once said that if he votes for the lord, he must find someone who listens to him and puts all the power into his hands without any doubts. Although Childe is undoubtedly employed, it is impossible for everyone under his command to give him a chance to dominate the family. ”

Smiling slightly, Pang Tong continued: "Don't talk about others, just me." If Kong Ming comes, and he wants to monopolize power, I will definitely not agree. What's more, there are also Sima Zhongda and Chen Gongtai under the command of Gongzi. ”

Cao Shuo pinched his chin and nodded, "It seems that if I go to recruit Kong Ming, it will be absolutely impossible for me to surrender." ”

"Exactly." Pang Tong said: "If I am not wrong, he should want to serve Liu Bei." ”

"Liu Bei is just a lost dog, how could Kong Ming fall in love with him?" Cao Shuo asked in amazement.

"Although he is a lost dog, Liu Bei has been in danger all these years." Pang Tong said: "Whether it is in Xudu or Xuzhou, when did Gongzi see someone hurt a hair of him?" ”

Cao Shuo thought about it for a while, and it was indeed like what Pang Tong said.

Liu Bei has experienced many risks over the years, and even almost lost his head several times.

Especially when he was in Xu Du, even he thought about how to kill Liu Bei all day long.

But under such circumstances, Liu Bei still survived strongly.

"Kong Ming has plans to serve Liu Bei, how can I let him succeed?" Cao Shuo was silent for a moment, smiled slightly and said to Pang Tong: "Talented people, since they can't be used by me, are my enemies. ”

"What do you mean by ......," Pang Tong asked.

"Send someone to Nanyang and invite him to Shouchun." Cao Shuo said: "If he is willing to vote for me, then forget it." If he refuses to vote, he will either be put under house arrest or simply ......"

"I see." Pang Tong said: "It's just that in this way, I'm afraid that Gongzi will be charged with killing Xianliang." ”

"No one knows, doesn't it mean that I'm killing Xianxian?" Cao Shuo smiled slightly, and said to Pang Tong: "What am I staying for training Fire Dance?" Shi Yuan wouldn't think that they could only spy on military intelligence, or perform some personal protection missions, right? If the virtuous are used by me, they will surely flourish, and if they are not used by me, they will throw themselves into the hostile camp. If the enemy has many talents, there will be an unknown number of soldiers in our army who have died unjustly on the battlefield. ”

Looking at the end of the street, Cao Shuo continued: "I once said that I would treat the people around me wholeheartedly. If it is against people who are hostile to me or even try to be hostile to me, I will never show mercy! There is only one reason, if they live, there will be many people around me who will die. ”

"That's what Childe said." Pang Tong said: "I will send someone to invite Kong Ming first, if he refuses to come, even if he is tied, he must be tied." ”

"Who are you going to let go?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Now is the time to employ people, and it doesn't seem appropriate to let anyone go." Pang Tong thought for a moment and said.

"Miyo Heng!" Cao Shuo said: "He is arrogant and has never gotten along well with people. If Kong Ming is a good person to get along with, it is obviously inappropriate to let him go. Since Shi Yuan said that Kong Ming is not likely to take refuge in me, it is only appropriate to let Mi Heng go to Nanyang. He would never be merciful when he captured Kong Ming. ”

Pang Tong was not surprised by Cao Shuo's decision in the slightest.

He has been following Cao Shuo for many days, and he has already had a relatively in-depth understanding of this lord.

Just like the Tao said, he loves talents, but he will not love blindly like Cao Cao.

As long as he doesn't serve him, he will definitely kill him!

Accompanying Cao Shuo to walk forward for a while, Pang Tong said, "Childe, the front is coming." ”

"Xu Yuanzhi is a filial son." Cao Shuo said: "As long as his mother speaks, no matter who he is, he will definitely leave immediately and come to Shouchun, have you posted announcements everywhere that his mother is here?" ”

"Nope!" Pang Tong said: "If it is clear that Xu Yuanzhi's mother is here, I am afraid that it will not be good for the reputation of the son." ”

"In other words." Cao Shuo smiled slightly and said to Pang Tong: "Don't say that I'm looking for him, but say that his mother misses him very much, and I hope he can come to Shouchun as soon as possible." ”

"Where to post it?" Pang Tong asked.

"All cities that belong to us will post notices." Cao Shuo said: "Even if Xu Yuanzhi is not in these places, he will definitely get news from other people's mouths. ”
