Chapter 161: Thirsty for talent, Pang Tong fled
Just do it, this Liu Zhang was raised by Liu Xuewu to be a military general, but he also carried the unique characteristics of a military general. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info However, Liu Zhang is still somewhat self-aware, and sent someone to ask Zhuge Liang for help, hoping to get the help of this cousin. Although Zhuge Liang finally chose to follow Liu Xuewu, no matter how to say it, the two of them have worked together for more than ten years, and they have a deep relationship with each other, and it is normal for them to help each other.
turned out to be unexpected, Zhuge Liang did not come, but asked someone to bring him a letter. said in his heart that he was assigned an important task by Liu Xuewu, and now he can't get out of it for the time being, but in the matter of Jiangdong, Zhuge Liang recommended two people to Liu Zhang. One is Fengzhi Pang Tong, who is now a staff member around Liu Qi in Yangzhou, and the other is Xu Yuanzhi, who assisted Liu Bei in the past. Liu Zhang had dealt with Xu Yuanzhi, but he knew that Yuanzhi had frankly said that he would defend the frontier against foreigners with what he had learned all his life. It is not difficult to hear from his tone that he undoubtedly participated in the civil strife of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Zhang is not a person who is difficult for a strong man. As for this Feng Zhi, he also heard a little, Liu Qi relied on the help of this person to lay down the territory of Yangzhou and force Liu Bei to flee to a foreign land. And now Zhuge Liang recommends that these two people are busy with it, there must be a deep meaning, since Xu Yuanzhi does not dare to have extravagant hopes, then he can only invite Feng Zhi when he passes through Yangzhou.
But before he could gather his men and horses to get up, Liu Xuewu handed him in front of him.
"Fourth, although the third brother doesn't know why you insist on going to the south? But by your character, you are no match for your sworn brother, so I have prepared a gift for you, and I hope that you will be victorious. ”
After Liu Zhang was beaten by Liu Xuewu, he was sent out of the City Lord's Mansion in a daze. Everything was inexplicable, but he had a letter in his hand, and it all told him that it was true. When he returned to the barracks, he quietly opened the secret of victory, which was said by the third brother Liu Xuewu.
"Jiangdong has been a hero since ancient times, if you ask who else is there today? The second master of the Sun family is the first to be promoted, the strategy is the brother, and the right is the younger brother. Zhou Lang is arrogant, and the Lu family is resigned. The Lu family is humble, and the Huang family is fierce ......"
The pattern of Jiangdong is exhausted, which makes Liu Zhang a little admired. The third brother is still the third brother of the year, and I thought he was busy with government affairs all these years, but I didn't expect that he also had a thorough understanding of the Jiangdong form, so I might as well too!
After Liu Zhang carefully studied the letter, he hid it close to his body and led his soldiers in the direction of Jingzhou. You must know that Liu Zhang's personal soldiers are all veterans of a hundred battles who have survived his expeditions to the east and the west, and they can be a centurion and a thousand generals at any time. So don't look at them at this time, there are only more than 10,000 people, but with these people, as long as Liu Zhang needs to, he can form an army of one million at any time. And after his brother-in-law helped him once, he did his best to keep the generals of their Ma family. Six generals led by Ma Chao, including Ma Xiu, Ma Tie, Pang De, Liu Qing, and Hu Yanhua, suddenly supplemented the shortage of generals under Liu Zhang.
This is also his hole card for going south this time, and the confidence of Sun Ce's competition.
first came to Yangzhou, Liu Zhang immediately went to visit Liu Qi, for this brother who is more than ten years younger than himself, Liu Zhang has also been known for a long time. Liu Bei's old boy, Liu Zhang has seen it, cunning and treacherous. Even if Liu Zhang personally faced a character who had to be cautious and jealous, he was defeated in the hands of this clan brother Liu Qi, which had to make Liu Zhang take a look.
Faced with Liu Zhang's first visit, Liu Qi was also afraid of losing his courtesy. Waiting outside the city early in the morning, the two of them hit it off at first sight, and immediately held a feast in the city lord's mansion to entertain Liu Zhang. And Liu Zhang was entertaining Liu Qi while observing the surroundings. Why didn't you see an ugly-looking man?
Seeing Liu Zhang look around as soon as he entered the City Lord's Mansion, he seemed to be looking for something. This reaction made Liu Qi a little embarrassed, who the hell is this. Just now, he was still calling himself a brother, but at this time, he seems to have other purposes. So, pretending to be calm, and when the banquet began, Liu Qi began to knock right while he was drinking.
"Brother Ji Yu can come to us today, when he drinks bitterly, we won't get drunk tonight." Liu Qi raised the wine glass in his hand and saluted Liu Zhang.
"Well, good brother, that's how it should be tonight." Liu Zhang, who was three points drunk, began to reveal his true nature.
Liu Qi looked at the heat and asked disrespectfully, "I don't know what Brother Ji Yu wants to find in my mansion?" ”
"It's not for the phoenix, the phoenix ......" Then Liu Zhang was too drunk to fall asleep on the table.
Liu Qi gave a look to the few maids next to him with his eyes, and asked them to serve Liu Zhang well and go to bed. But he rushed to Pang Mansion overnight.
"Boss Qi, why are you coming to me so late? Don't know if I've slept? Pang Tong said to Liu Qi with unhappiness written on his face.
"Brother Pang, the situation is urgent, didn't I get drunk with that Liu Zhang, so I hurriedly came to you to discuss countermeasures?" Liu Qi said breathlessly.
"Now that the world is peaceful, and the Nine Sages King is widely benevolent, why is there an urgent matter. And wasn't Liu Zhang ordered to go south to conquer Eastern Wu? Even if you transfer troops, you will go to transfer Jingzhou soldiers, and you have something to do with us? Pang Tong asked with a puzzled face.
"It's a big deal, I didn't have anything to do with us, but now I'm looking for you in my house with Liu Zhang's name. Is this a matter of concern to you and me? Liu Qi couldn't help but drag it out at this time, and told Pang Tong everything in detail.
"What do you mean that Liu Zhang ran to your capital to find me, I went, his dignified brother of the Nine Sages King looked for me to have something to do. Unless? Speaking of this, he looked at Liu Qi and seemed to think of something.
"That's right, if the prediction is correct, he just wants to borrow your brother to go out of the mountain to help him." Liu Qi said affirmatively.
"Lao Tzu doesn't do this kind of tiring and tiring thing, I finally live a few days of leisure, and I am ready to find a matchmaker to help me talk about a matchmaker in a few days, and then give birth to a few big fat boys? Go and work hard with the two brothers of the Sun family in Jiangdong, thankless, am I sick? Pang Tongyi immediately became furious when he heard this.
After scolding, Pang Tong turned around and left, Liu Qi hurriedly stopped him and said, "Brother, who are you?" ”
"Pack your clothes, if you don't leave now, are you still waiting for him Liu Zhang to come to the door, anyway, this trip to the troubled waters is not going to do it, whoever has the ability will go." After saying that, he really packed his things and left with his slaves overnight.
When Liu Zhang woke up the next day, Liu Qi informed Pang Tong of the location of the mansion. hurriedly ran to visit, but unfortunately the Pang Mansion people went to the empty building at this time. The only old housekeeper who stayed to take care of the house said that his head of the family went out to study and has not returned. Liu Zhang waited in Yangzhou for seven days but still had no result, so he had no choice but to rush to Jingzhou with his own soldiers. (To be continued.) )
