Chapter 21: The Battle of the Dragon and Phoenix

Jia Xu's words also dispelled Lu Bu's idea of attacking Cao Cao, and he looked at Fu Zhu and smiled: "You don't have to worry about it, time has changed, not long after you returned to the Central Plains, the general trend of the world has not been as thorough as Wen He." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

To put it bluntly, Lu Bu is fighting Cao Cao now, the biggest obstacle is not in terms of troops, but once it is opened, Sun Quan, the only possible ally of Lu Bu, will also turn his face with Lu Bu, if Lu Bu takes the land of the Central Plains, not to mention whether he can hold the Han Emperor in his hands, even if he can't, Lu Bu's power will be even bigger than Cao Cao at the same time in the original history of the Three Kingdoms.

At this moment, if Lu Bu insists on setting his sights on the Central Plains, then the best result is a lose-lose situation, after all, it is no longer the time for Yuan Cao to compete, Yuan Shao at that time is the trend of the times, Jiangdong Sun Ce died, the internal chaos was chaotic, Liu Biao was restrained by the family, Lu Bu was busy rectifying the west, and Yuan Shao himself was full of background, so he dared to directly hit the Central Plains.

And now, time has changed, Jiangdong Sun Quan has gained a firm foothold, the army and the people have returned to their hearts, although Jingzhou has fallen into civil strife, but once Lu Bu fights Cao Cao, Sun Quan knows that he is invincible to Lu Bu in land battles, even if he does not help Cao Cao, he will never attack, which is equivalent to creating a stable rear for Cao Cao, and he can give Lu Bu a hand, and Lu Bu has to be distracted and pay attention to Zhang Lu.

There is no problem with the strategic vision of Fu Zhu, but he has been in the Western Regions for many years, and now he has returned to the Central Plains, and his understanding of the world is still stuck five years ago, and he compares the current Lu Bu to the Yuan Shao of the past to look at the problem, which is naturally not as good as Jia Xu's ability to point directly at the mentality of the princes.

Hearing this, he nodded bitterly and didn't speak again.

In the morning, I chatted with everyone about the general trend and the next direction, in fact, these have basically been decided, Pang Tong is about to be sent to Wudu, and Wei Yan is a text and a martial artist, planning Hanzhong, now Jingzhou affairs, under the control of many parties, Lu Bu can't intervene, his eyes have been put on Hanzhong, Wei Yan has been secretly transferred to Wudu, as a general, it is naturally good to have a battle, and Lu Bu handed over such an important matter to himself, which also made Wei Yan quite excited, and he was full of energy to train in Wudu, in his heart, I am also grateful to Pang Tong who recommended him for this position.

Sometimes, Lu Bu thinks about it and thinks that if these two people are used together, they are actually quite compatible, they are both bold and adventurous masters, this phoenix chick has been under his command for some years, since Wolong has come out of the mountain, it is time to let the phoenix chick cry.

In the hero building, Xu Shu set up a table of banquets and invited Pang Tong to come, which is considered to be the practice of Pang Tong, both of them are from Lumen, Pang Tong because of his appearance and personality, whether in Lumen or Chang'an, there are not many friends, Xu Shu is one, and there are two, that is, Zhao Yun and his wife who were together in the Western Regions back then.

"Ugly ghost, this time my father let you guard the side, aren't you excited to tell me the truth?" Lu Lingqi looked at Pang Tong, even if she is now a mother, but the wildness carved into her bones has not been polished away, otherwise she would not have taught her husband and children well, and ran out to form a bow team.

"How so!" Pang Tongyi said with a righteous face: "The lord treats me like a mountain, if it is not for the lord's cultivation, how can I have today's achievements, I can't wait to stay by the lord's side for the rest of my life and listen to the teachings." ”

"Uh......" Everyone, including Xu Shu, couldn't help but shudder, and looked at Pang Tong with a frightened expression.

"Husband~" Lu Lingqi held her forehead with an uncomfortable expression and looked at Zhao Yun: "The concubine suddenly wants to vomit, is it again?" ”

Zhao Yun's cheeks twitched a few times, and he shook his head, for this friend, he is also quite helpless, the more capable people are, the more they have the urge to prove their worth, Lu Bu does not attach importance to Pang Tong, and even let him and Xu Shu and Jia Xu, Chen Gong, the two veteran henchmen around Lu Bu, participate in state affairs side by side, many important things are handed over to Pang Tong to do, although Pang Tong complains, but in fact he is more concerned than anyone else, but this does not mean that Pang Tong does not want to be able to lead an army alone one day, when he is in the Western Regions, Zhao Yun has seen Pang Tong's military talents, Lu Lingqi was able to lay the foundation for Lu Bu to pacify the Western Regions from the hands of the Xianbei people under the oppression of the powerful Xianbei people at that time, Pang Tong has made great contributions, such a character, in the past five years, has only participated in politics, failed to take charge of the army alone, don't say Zhao Yun, Lu Lingqi is a little sorry for him.

Now that Lu Bu has finally let go and let Pang Tong lead the army alone, if you want to say that this ugly ghost is unwilling, who will believe it?

Xu Shu said with a smile: "Shi Yuan's plan is quite feasible, and it is also in line with our army's current strategy, since Shi Yuan is unwilling, then I will ask the lord for his life, and how about Hanzhong let me cooperate with Wei Yan to plan?" ”

"Don't even think about it." Pang Tong rolled his eyes, the image of righteous words before disappeared in an instant, and sneered: "Don't worry, Yuanzhi, since the lord has decided to use troops at this time, Hanzhong is just a partial division, Luoyang and Jizhou are the main battlefields, Hanzhong, how can Cao Cao and Liu Bei sit idly by, and then there will be a place for you, since Zhuge Kongming has already gone out of the mountain and made such a feat, how can I lose to him?" ”

Xu Shu nodded, Pang Tong was so eager to go out of the mountain, of course, he wanted to show himself, but the stimulation brought by Kong Ming's side was probably also an important factor.

The battle between the dragon and the phoenix has already shown signs in Lumen Academy, and Pang Tong said that the two are also enemies and friends, and it is really more like competition.

No one convinces anyone, but both of them are sharp-toothed and sharp-mouthed, Zhuge Liang is angry and does not pay for his life, Pang Tongyi has a poisonous tongue, can make literati move the knife, neither of them can convince each other, in the end, it has become a situation of competing with each other, now Kong Ming came out of the mountain to help Liu Bei, and as soon as he appeared, he helped Liu Bei take half of Jingzhou without blood, looking at this posture, it is not far to take Jingzhou, how can Pang Tong be willing to be behind?

"Then Zhuge Liang is really that powerful?" Lu Lingqi looked at Pang Tong curiously, this ugly ghost is a little ugly, but he is very proud in his bones, and there are really few people in Chang'an City who can make him pay so much attention.

"Kong Ming and Shi Yuan are both geniuses that are rare in a century." Xu Shu nodded, and then sighed, Lu Bu once said that in this world, there is a genius, which is a great fortune in the world, but there are many geniuses, but it may not be a blessing for the common people.

Think about it, it is not unreasonable, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, how many heroes have been produced, but it is these heroes who have torn the Han apart, it has been more than 20 years now, but the war has never ended, if in the end, it is really three parts of the world, it is really not a blessing for the common people!

Pang Tong nodded rarely: "Kong Ming is not bad, and he doesn't vote for Cao Cao, nor does he look for Sun Quan, he finds Liu Bei, a down-and-out prince, just to prove his ability to the world, I can't lose him!" ”

At the mention of Liu Bei, Zhao Yun fell silent, and Lu Lingqi stopped talking, after all, it represented an unhappy past.

"Don't talk about that." Seeing that the scene was cold, Xu Shu hurriedly raised the wine and said with a smile: "Then help Shiyuan, you can establish a meritorious career this time, and it will not be in vain in the name of my Lumen." ”

"Lumen?" Pang Tong smiled when he heard this: "Uncle will see me again, and he will be lucky not to kill me." ”

Pang Tong voted for Lu Bu, although there were many helpless ones, but the facts have been cast, and the impact of Jingzhou Pang is not small, such as his cousin Pang Shanmin, who was demoted to the master book, and many Pang disciples have also been suppressed in Jingzhou.

"The world is unpredictable, and in the future, Pang Zhai may be grateful to Shi Yuan." Xu Shu smiled and said, with Lu Bu's current situation, if he develops for another ten years, he may not be able to dominate the world, and when the time comes, the Jingzhou Pang clan will have such an important minister as Pang Tong on Lu Bu's side, and he will definitely get a lot of benefits.

"Perhaps." Pang Tong nodded silently, suddenly looked at Xu Shu and said, "Shiyuan, in fact, I don't regret it. ”

Although Lu Bu was half-forced him, in Chang'an, he no longer had to carry the burden of the family, which was the most comfortable time for Pang Tong.

Lu Bu rarely let Pang Tong ask about the military at the beginning, most of the time he helped Lu Bu make decisions on state affairs and formulate strategies, of course, most of the time it was Lu Bu who discussed with Jia Xu and others, and Pang Tong observed.

At the beginning, Pang Tong complained, but after a long time, Pang Tong also understood, this is Lu Bu is deliberately making up for his shortcomings, Pang Tong is good at scheming, which is related to his character, because of the relationship between his appearance, he has been withdrawn since he was a child, and he is easy to go to extremes when thinking about problems, and later, he has gradually developed the style of taking the sword to the side, but because of this, many problems are inevitably one-sided.

This problem is also discovered by Pang Tong recently when he inadvertently watched Lu Bu toss Lu Zheng, Lu Bu's method of educating Lu Zheng is very peculiar, at least in this era, it is a little out of tune, and he will not force Lu Zheng to tell you what you should do, but he will use various methods to tell you that you are wrong, this is how the bow arose at that time, let Lu Zheng lead his friends to finish, and set up an opponent for him, and even stand on the opponent's side to help his opponent make suggestions on how to win, Lu Zheng was cleaned up a few times and gradually figured it out.

This method looks laborious and unflattering, but when you think about it, it is more memorable.

Thinking about himself, Pang Tong suddenly felt that his experience was very similar to Lu Zheng, and every time he thought of this, Pang Tong felt like he couldn't cry or laugh.

"Zilong, your children are almost at the time of enlightenment, right?" Pang Tong asked suddenly.

"Why do you ask this?" Lu Lingqi glared at Pang Tong: "I can tell you, Guang'er's master has already been decided, don't think about it." ”

"Whoever wants to worry about this, I'm telling you, it's better to send him to the lord for a while." Pang Tong rolled his eyes and said.

"I still need you to say, my father said a long time ago that he would let Guang'er follow his brother for a while." Lu Lingqi snorted.

Zhao Yun shook his head, his eyes looked at the traffic outside the Hero Building, and his gaze suddenly froze. (To be continued.) )
