Chapter 1181: Bargaining
Although at the banquet, Han Sui ordered the general to apologize to Pang Tong, Han Sui was still keenly aware of the unhappiness in Pang Tong's expression, and it was not a wise move to offend Pang Tong before he found out Lu Bu's intention of sending Pang Tong to Jincheng, but he was also a figure in Liangzhou, so naturally he couldn't grovel too much in front of Pang Tong.
The next day, Han Sui ordered someone to invite Pang Tong.
Han Sui arched his hand and said: "Envoy, the generals under the command of this official made a mistake during the banquet last night, and I hope that the envoy will not be surprised." ”
Pang Tong said with a smile: "Lord Han said that he was just a nameless person in Chang'an, and this time he came to Jincheng on the order of the Marquis of Jin, before Lord Han led the army to attack Hanyang at a critical moment, creating an opportunity for the Bingzhou army, and the Marquis of Jin was very pleased." ”
Seeing that Pang Tong was silent when he said this, Han Sui instantly understood what Pang Tong meant, since Lu Bu sent Pang Tong to Jincheng, to a certain extent, it means that he wants to unite with him, since it is a union, he has paid a lot of price in his own army before, Lu Bu must have something to say, the reason why Pang Tong did not say it was largely because of the disrespect of his own generals.
"Messenger, since the Marquis of Jin attacked Chang'an, this official has stood by the side of the Marquis of Jin to help the Marquis of Jin pacify Chang'an, although Ma Teng was also among them, but later occupied Longguan, the Marquis of Jin is a hero, this official has always been very yearning, to be able to help the Marquis of Jin to pacify the traitors, it is within the official's responsibility." Han Sui said.
Pang Tong frowned slightly, and said with a smile: "Lord Han can have this heart, if the Marquis of Jin knows, he will be happy, do not hide from Lord Han, this time the Marquis of Jin sent to Jincheng, it is for the matter of Ma Teng in Hanyang, Ma Teng is a wolf ambition, he benefited from the Marquis of Jin, but at the critical time when the princes' coalition army attacked and merged the state, he ordered his son Ma Chao to lead the army to attack Longguan. ”
"Dare to ask if these words are the meaning of the Marquis of Jin, or the meaning of the envoy?" Han Sui asked, after the incident in Hanyang, Han Sui naturally raised his vigilance, when Ma Teng fled, Ma Chao led the troops to attack Hanyang, if Chang'an's army could respond from it, it would definitely not be the current situation, failure made Han Sui not only lose Hanyang's territory, but also lose the army, if it were not for Lu Bu's strength, Han Sui would not be so polite to the messenger sent by Lu Bu.
"Of course, it is the intention of the Marquis of Jin, who is training soldiers and horses in Chang'an at this time." Pang Tong lowered his voice.
Han Sui's eyes narrowed slightly, he suddenly felt a little unable to see through Pang Tong in front of him, from his words, it can be seen that Pang Tong is a scheming person, but in these words, it is false and real, it is difficult to judge, I can't figure out what kind of attitude Lu Bu is, I originally thought that Pang Tong was young and could effortlessly find out the purpose of this trip, but now it seems to be a little difficult.
"I don't know what to do after breaking through Hanyang?" Han Sui asked directly, he had to ask clearly about the distribution of benefits after the accident broke Hanyang, if it was worth doing, Han Sui would naturally not be polite.
"After Hanyang is broken, it naturally belongs to the Marquis of Jin." Pang Tong said without hesitation.
Han Sui frowned, "The envoy's words, but the official can not send troops, when the official attacked Hanyang, he lost a lot of troops, and to a great extent resolved the crisis in Chang'an, and now the soldiers in the army are tired, and it is difficult for the official to send troops." ”
Pang Tong said with a smile: "Lord Han, don't be busy refusing, if you have something to say, you will convey it on your behalf in the next meeting." ”
Seeing that Pang Tong's attitude instantly improved a lot, Han Sui's heart was a lot more relaxed, "This official wants the land of Hanyang and Longxi counties." ”
"Lord Han is too greedy, whether it is Hanyang or Longxi, both of them are rich counties in Liangzhou, is Chang'an sending troops just to help Lord Han seize the land of the two counties?" Pang Tong sneered: "Do you think that Lord Han thinks that Chang'an's troops are not as good as those under Lord Han's command?" ”
Han Sui said: "At the beginning, the official had already occupied Hanyang, and this time he sent troops, naturally to occupy Longxi. ”
"If that's the case, I'll have no choice but to leave." After Pang Tong finished speaking, he bowed slightly, and turned around and left without hesitation.
The corners of Han Sui's eyes kept shaking, and he didn't see the slightest hesitation from Pang Tong's body, it was so crisp and sharp.
"The messenger walks slowly." Han Sui took three steps and made two steps to chase after him, and said with a slight breath: "Fang Cai has something thoughtless in his words, and I hope that the envoy will not be surprised." ”
Seeing that Han Sui's expression was quite respectful, Pang Tong's anger eased a lot, and he snorted coldly: "If it weren't for the fact that Lord Han had helped Chang'an resolve the crisis and attack Longxi, why did Lord Han take action, relying on Chang'an's army was enough." ”
Han Sui carefully looked at Pang Tong for a long time, and saw that his expression was neither humble nor arrogant, which made people unable to detect the clues, and couldn't help laughing: "The envoy's words are not true, although this official is lonely and unheard, but he knows that the army of Chang'an has just been recruited, and the training time is only three months at most, and the Liangzhou army under Ma Teng is the elite, could it be that the envoy thinks that with the soldiers who have trained for three months, he can defeat the elite of a hundred battles?" ”
Pang Tong snorted coldly: "Since the formation of the Bingzhou Army, it is the March Army that can go to the battlefield, if Lord Han doesn't believe it, please wait and see." ”
After taking refuge in Lu Bu, as the military advisor of the Bingzhou Army, Pang Tong had an in-depth understanding of the system of the army under Lu Bu, and the soldiers were trained for three months, basically with combat effectiveness, and the training standards in the army were extremely strict, the reason why the soldiers were able to stick to the strict system in the eyes of the princes and the army was because they joined the army from the heart, although to a certain extent, it was because of the treatment in the army, but as long as they were people, how could they have no ambition, The system of merging the state army is to mobilize the ambition of ordinary soldiers, and once ordinary soldiers have ambitions, it is conceivable what kind of combat effectiveness such an army will burst out.
This is just for the average soldier, and a class like an archer takes time to hone.
Even with the temperament of Pang Tong, after seeing the training of the Chang'an army, he was also dumbfounded, and the soldiers were scrambling to be the first to train when they were training, and the way of training was very different from the training of the army that he understood.
Han Sui said with a smile: "The envoy said that he was joking, the Marquis of Jin is a very human being, and this official naturally admires it to the extreme." ”
"The Marquis of Jin has decided to use troops against Ma Teng, I don't know what Lord Han means? Don't hide it from Lord Han, and now Zhao Yang, who is too stable and guarded, has decided to send troops to help the Marquis of Jin sweep Ma Teng. Pang Tong said lightly, in his tone, he didn't care about whether Han Sui sent troops or not.
