After all, Liu Biao was the lord of Jingzhou, Pang Tong dismounted and returned the salute, looked around and asked, "Jingsheng Gong thinks this is a good place to discuss the withdrawal of troops?" ”

"Retirement?" Liu Biao asked, "Doesn't the Cao family plan to storm Xiangyang?" ”

"Could it be that Jingsheng Gong wants the Cao family to attack Xiangyang?" Pang Tong asked rhetorically.

Stunned by his question, Liu Biao then said: "Of course I hope that the Cao family will withdraw from the army, but Cao Mengde and Cao Zirong are deceitful, I'm afraid they talk about retreating, but they are thinking about how to take Xiangyang." ”

"Jing Shenggong is worried too much." Pang Tong said: "If you really have the sincerity to ask the Cao family to withdraw from the army, you shouldn't talk to me more here." There must be a reason why the army came to Xiangyang, Jing Sheng Gong didn't give some attitude, even if the Cao family was sincere, I am afraid that there would be no reason to retreat. ”

"That's what Pang Gong said." Liu Biao said: "Please follow me to the mansion for a while!" ”

"Thank you Jingsheng Gong for the invitation." Pang Tong bowed his hand to him again and thanked him.

Accompanying Pang Tong to the mansion, Liu Biao asked: "Dare to ask Pang Gong, who wants you to come and negotiate with me about the Cao family's retreat?" ”

"It's Childe." Pang Tong said: "Gongzi thinks that there is no need to fight this battle, so he sent me to Xiangyang to ask to see Jingsheng Gong. ”

"You must know that the Cao family has surrounded Xiangyang." Liu Biao said: "Once the siege is launched, Xiangyang may not be able to hold it for three or five months. ”

"Jingsheng Gong also said that Xiangyang can't hold on for three or five months." Pang Tong smiled slightly: "For Jingsheng Gong, three or five months is nothing, but for Gongzi, it is to delay the army for too long, how can he spend too much effort here." ”

"What do you mean......" Liu Biao asked with some astonishment.

"Now that the Yuan family in Hebei has gone away, after all, the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff." Pang Tong said: "The Yuan family and the Cao family have become fire and water, and each is to destroy the other and then quickly. I want to ask Jingsheng Gong, if it were you, would you be the first to destroy the Yuan family, or would you send troops to destroy Jingzhou, which was not a deep grudge and should have become an ally? ”

"Allies?" Liu Biao was stunned: "Is it ......?"

"What Jingsheng Gong is worried about is that the prince is asking for too many benefits, and Jingzhou can't afford it." Pang Tong said: "Actually, people in the world don't know much about Gongzi, thinking that he has always liked to take advantage of others. I've been following Childe for so long, and I know him very well. Gongzi has the world in his heart, and has always had the intention of revitalizing the Han family by Kuang Fu Dahan, and Jingsheng Gong is the imperial prince, how can Gongzi be willing to completely turn against you? ”

"If you want to talk about the royal family, Liu Xuande is too." Liu Biao said: "Didn't Cao Zirong repeatedly want to take his head? ”

"Liu Xuande?" Pang Tong laughed and asked Liu Biao: "To tell the truth, do you think Liu Xuande is the imperial prince?" ”

was asked by Pang Tong, Liu Biao didn't know how to respond.

The royal family of the Han family originally did not have Liu Bei at all.

The Yellow Turban caused chaos in the world, Liu Bei recruited the rebels to exterminate the Yellow Turban, and since then, a person who weaves mats and sells shoes has appeared in front of the eyes of the world.

Since then, Liu Bei has been dealing with the heroes of the world in the name of being the emperor, and even controlled Xuzhou for a time.

"Jingsheng Gong knows why Gongzi killed Liu Xuande?" Seeing that Liu Biao didn't say anything, Pang Tong asked.

His brows were furrowed, and Liu Biao did not answer.

Pang Tong continued: "Don't hide it from Jingshenggong, the prince wants to kill him, firstly, because he can't get used to what Liu Xuande did, and secondly, it is to correct the name of the Han family, so as not to let the villain mess with the world in the name of the Han family." ”

"Liu Xuande has also made some contributions to the Han family over the years." Liu Biao said: "Pang Gong said this, it is a bit sensational......

"Really sensational?" Pang Tong smiled slightly, lowered his voice and asked Liu Biao.

His face was a little wrong, and Liu Biao didn't say anything.

Dare to ask Jing Shenggong, who has Liu Xuande voted for for so many years?

"I know Lu Zhi, Gongsun Zhan, Tao Qian, Cao Mengde, Yuan Benchu......" Liu Biao said a list of names in one breath.

When he said these names, his face suddenly showed astonishment and panic.

"Jingsheng Gong should have thought of it, what happened to these people?" Pang Tong smiled slightly and said: "Lu Zhi is okay, he resigned and went to Youzhou to live in seclusion. However, Gongsun Zhan was attacked by the Yuan family in Yijing and died by self-immolation. Although Tao Qian died of illness at home, after his death, Xuzhou no longer had the surname Tao, but became Liu Xuande's world. As for Cao Gong, he was almost calculated by Liu Xuande, not to mention the Yuan family, let alone let him lead his troops to attack Runan, but he took the soldiers and horses away and came to Jingzhou to vote for Jingshenggong. ”

"What exactly does Pang Gong want to say?" Liu Biao asked Pang Tong.

"I don't want to say anything." Pang Tong smiled slightly, and asked Liu Biao: "Dare to ask Jingsheng Gong, what is the reason for the Cao family's army to invade the territory this time?" ”

Liu Biao didn't say anything.

Of course, he knew why Cao Jun appeared in Jingzhou, and why he surrounded Xiangyang.

"If it weren't for Liu Xuande leading troops into Yuzhou, setting fire to Bowang for no reason, and missing many good men of the Cao family, how could Cao Gong and Gongzi be angry and send troops, and how could Jingsheng Gong be trapped in Xiangyang?" Pang Tong said: "Speaking of which, the one who brought these troubles to Jingsheng Gong was actually Liu Xuande. When he returned to Jingzhou, he brought his soldiers and horses to Xinye, recruited a lot of grain and grass, and refused to defend the city gate, but let Jingsheng Gong bear the blame for him. Dare to ask Jing Shenggong, haven't you thought about this? ”

"Isn't Cao Zirong here for Liu Xuande?" Frowning, Liu Biao asked.

When they spoke, they had already arrived at the door of Liu Biao's residence,

Pang Tong smiled and said to Liu Biao: "I have arrived at the door of the house, is it possible that Jingsheng Gong plans to stand here with me and talk about things?" ”

"Please ask Pang Gong to go to the cold house for a while." Liu Biao stepped aside and gestured to Pang Tong.

"Jingsheng Gong, please!" Pang Tong did not ask the big one, but asked Liu Biao to go first.

His move made Liu Biao feel a lot more comfortable.

The Jingzhou officials who followed Liu Biao also looked a little better than before.

After all, Pang Tong did not condescend as a victor, so that these Jingzhou officials, who had been terrified since the siege of Xiangyang, found some self-esteem.

Entering the house and accompanying Liu Biao to the front hall, Pang Tong said: "I have already said this, where to go In fact, Jingshenggong's heart is like a mirror." Jing Sheng Gong should also know who your real opponent is. In any case, it is definitely not the Cao family who is the enemy of Jingsheng Gong. But Liu Xuande repeatedly instigated Jingshenggong to be enemies with the Cao family, but indulged the Jiangdong Sun family, I don't know if Jingshenggong found out that it was inappropriate. ”

Pang Tong pointed out that he was here for Liu Bei, and Liu Biao also weighed it in his heart.

He didn't respond directly, but instructed Cai Mao, who was following behind: "Prepare a banquet, I want to treat Pang Gong warmly." ”
