In Jiangxia, Jingzhou, a thin young man is holding a book and reading.

At this time, a short man with an ugly face walked over, "Brother Wei, are you still reading?" Huang Jiangxia sent someone to recruit you, why didn't you go? ”

The thin young man glanced at him and said, "Liu Jingzhou also recruited Brother Pang, why didn't Brother Pang go?" ”

This Brother Pang is Pang Tong, Pang Tong shook his head and said: "Liu Jingsheng is old and sick, and he has no great ambitions in his chest, so he is not the master!" ”

This Brother Wei is Wei Rui. "Huang Zu's death is approaching, and he is not the master."

Pang Tong laughed and said, "Brother Wei is not afraid that it will reach Huang Zu's ears when he speaks like this. ”

Wei Rui shook his head lightly, "I'm afraid that Huang Zu won't live next year, what are you afraid of him doing?" ”

Pang Tong's face turned whole and asked, "Brother Wei thinks so that Zhang Zhendong will attack Jingzhou next year?" ”

"Li Jing and Di Qing are the military county guards, and now they are all training in Chaisang, isn't Zhang Zhendong's intention obvious?" Wei Rui asked rhetorically.

Pang Tong said: "Even so, Zhang Zhendong only provoked Cao Cao this year, I'm afraid Cao Cao will retaliate in winter!" ”

Wei Rui said: "If he was afraid of retaliation, Zhang Zhendong would not have plundered Xuzhou." You must know that sending troops this time and killing Zhang Zhao and Qin Song can be regarded as a complete solution to the troubles of Jiangdong in the past. The people that the Jiangdong family can rely on are only losses and Erzhang and others, the Sun family has long lost power, Zhang Hong has no power in Shouchun, although Zhu Zhi is in Wu County, but he has fallen to Zhang Zhendong and sent Sun Ce's concubine Qiao to Zhang Zhendong. Zhang Zhao is the last reliance of the Jiangdong family, and now that Zhang Zhao is dead, the Jiangdong family can only compromise. Jiangdong is established, Cao Cao in the north will definitely take the Yuan family first, and Zhang Zhendong will only take Jingzhou to resist Cao Cao. ”

Pang Tong said: "Then why don't you and I go over early?" ”

"Brother Pang go to Shouchun! My body is not fit to travel. Wei Rui said with a somewhat gloomy expression.

Pang Tong said: "I heard that there is a famous doctor in Shouchun, who may be able to cure Brother Wei's illness." ”

"Then we also need them to come to Jiangxia." Wei Rui said: "It's up to Brother Pang, Brother Pang will be reused by Zhang Zhendong one day earlier, so that I can be recommended by these famous doctors." ”

Pang Tongyi listened and immediately nodded, "Brother Wei, don't worry, I will definitely stand in Shouchun." ”

Wei Rui said: "After Brother Pang arrives in Shouchun, he can go to the Academy of Liberal Arts, which is the easiest place for Shouchun to get recommendations. ”

Pang Tong bid farewell to Wei Rui, left Jiangxia, and entered the territory of the Lujiang River.

Pang Tong is only 25 years old this year, and his talent is so brilliant that he can be said to be a rare talent in the world. However, because of his ugly face, he is often ridiculed, so there are some people who are proud of their talents.

This is normal, I have received a lot of ridicule, and I must feel uncomfortable. You are not as talented as me, so if you have such a good opportunity, of course I will laugh at you and relieve the hatred in my heart.

Therefore, Pang Tong does not have many friends in Jingzhou, and these people from the big family even have contradictions with him. Those people all took refuge under Liu Biao, and Liu Biao also symbolically recruited Pang Tong, after all, Pang Tong is also a Ponzi person, for the sake of Pang Zi's face, I will recruit you!

How could Pang Tong agree? I am talented, so I don't want your charity. Then he hid out of Xiangyang and traveled around Jingzhou, inquiring about the current situation, trying to find a master.

It was at this time that Zhang Yi entered Pang Tong's sight. After learning what Zhang Yi had done, Pang Tong felt that Zhang Yi was the master he had been looking for for a long time. Of course, the most important thing is that Zhang Yi has a strong army and can capture Jingzhou, which is what Pang Tong needs.

Pang Tong has a great grudge against Jingzhou in his heart, and he naturally chooses the one who can attack Jingzhou. His Pang Zi was still in Jingzhou, and he didn't plan to defect to anyone, but to wait for Zhang Yi to attack Xiangyang before taking refuge in the past.

However, after meeting Wei Rui, this idea changed. He and Wei Rui are also talented, and they have very good opinions on the use of soldiers, and after discussing it, the two hit it off at first sight.

Pang Tong lived in Wei Rui's house, and after a long time, Pang Tong learned that Wei Rui was also optimistic about Zhang Yi, if it wasn't for his poor health and he couldn't go far, he would have taken refuge in Zhang Yi.

After listening to this, Pang Tong weighed the pros and cons and decided to go to Shouchun. The reason why Pang Tong changed was because he learned a lot of strange things about Zhang Yi's forces from Wei Rui, which made Pang Tong very curious and wanted to go over and watch.

Just when Pang Tong was about to leave, he suddenly heard Huang Zu come to recruit Wei Rui, and there was a previous ridicule. Both of them can see that Liu Biao's ancestors are just dogs guarding the land.

Liu Biao was still enterprising before, as for now! As his body has not been as tough as before in the past two years, Liu Biao doesn't want to cause trouble. In the past two years, Huang Zu and Liu Qi rarely attacked Yuzhang.

And Huang Zu! He has always been a local hero, only wandering around Jiangxia, if it weren't for Liu Biao's order, he would not have left Jiangxia when he died of old age.

If in the prosperous age, such a person may be able to make a difference. But now is a turbulent era, an era of retreat if you don't advance, and the idea of defending the land is unacceptable.

Zhang Yi has been expanding his territory over the years, which is an enterprising image and the act of a master in troubled times. That's why Pang Tong wants to take refuge in him, he has an enterprising lord, and he also has a revenge on Wutai.

Pang Tongtong walked along the road, and felt as if he had arrived in another place. Everywhere he went, people wore smiles that Jingzhou did not have, and the peasants laughed as they walked on the road, and when they saw him dressed as a scribe, they all bowed to him, although it was not very standard, but the respect could be seen.

No one laughed at him, and even if he felt ugly, people at most gave him a salute and moved on. On the contrary, some children saw him and ran to him and asked how to pronounce a few words.

Pang Tong taught a few carefully, and the children asked him where he came from. Pang Tong said that it was Jingzhou, and the children immediately dispersed. Pang Tong grabbed a child and asked, "Why are you running?" ”

The child said, "The Jingzhou accent is not a standard accent, we are going to find another gentleman." ”

Standard accent is the first new word Pang Tong heard, or standard is the first new word Pang Tong heard, along the way Pang Tong heard many people saying the word standard, as if everything has a standard, what a standard ruler, standard catty, listening to Pang Tong is confused.

When it came to Shouchun, Pang Tong found that the city was a bit too big. Shouchun City is based on the water, there are two city walls in the vertical and horizontal, the inside is the old city of Shouchun, and the outside even has a new city, which is about 20 miles long.

"What a project!" Pang Tong said with a sigh, he also had some worries in his heart, afraid that Zhang Yi would forcibly conscript labor.
