Chapter 768: Pang Tong Offered a Plan
However, thinking of Zhao Fei's previous explanation, although Pang Tong is mediocre in appearance, and no matter how you look at it, he thinks he is a relatively stupid person, but he is indeed quite smart. According to Zhao Fei's words, this person is a typical wise fool, although his appearance is mediocre and he doesn't seem to have any ability, but he has profound knowledge in his stomach.
Cao Cao has never doubted Zhao Fei's vision, looking at the many civil and military generals above and below Cao Jun, Zhao Fei has really recommended a lot of talents for Cao Jun. And now, these talents have all proven their talents, and then they have held important positions in Cao's army. Therefore, Zhao Fei said that this person is a talent, so it will definitely not be bad.
For talents, Cao Cao is obviously as eager as ever. As the territory ruled by Cao's army became larger and larger, Cao Cao's thirst for talent also increased. You must know that Cao Jun ruled such a large territory, so he naturally needed many officials to take care of it. Cao Cao is only one person, and there is a saying that he does everything himself.
Although he is very interested in Pang Tong, Zhao Fei also said that it is obviously difficult to recruit Pang Tong. The entire Jingzhou scribes were quite ugly about Cao Cao and Cao Jun, and most of them thought that Cao Cao was a thief who stole the country, so they all sneered at Cao Cao. Under such a premise, how could the scribes be effective?
However, Zhao Fei also said that even though Pang Tong did not have the idea of joining Cao Jun, he must also work hard to keep this person. This man is so talented, if he doesn't say that this person stays, sooner or later he will serve others. When that time comes, Pang Tong will become Cao Jun's henchman, which is obviously not what Zhao Fei wants to see.
Since he knew that this person was Cao Jun's enemy, why not nip this enemy in the bud, Pang Tong had not yet come out, which proved that Cao Cao also had hope of recruiting Pang Tong. Although the Jingxiang scribe was quite scandalous about Cao Cao, if Pang Tong was allowed to understand Cao Jun's customs and customs, perhaps Pang Tong would change his opinion of Cao Jun.
Regarding Cao Cao's thoughts, Zhao Fei was very helpless. But since Cao Cao said so, Zhao Fei has nothing to stop. However, no matter what, Zhao Fei would not let Pang Tong continue to return to the other side of the river. Pang Tong has always been a threat, and now that Liu Bei has Zhuge Liang, he naturally will not let Liu Bei get Pang Tong again.
Pang Tong obviously didn't know what Cao Cao and Zhao Fei were thinking, if he knew what Zhao Fei and Cao Cao were thinking, he would definitely not send Cao Jun's camp to offer Cao Cao's advice. Pang Tong obviously didn't know that Zhao Fei had compiled a trap for him, and now, he had stepped into the trap with one foot, and he couldn't escape if he wanted to.
After Pang Tong entered the big tent, he was humble, and stepped forward to give Cao Cao a deep salute, Pang Tong said respectfully: "In the lower Pang Tong, I have seen Prime Minister Cao Cheng!" Although Pang Tong's tone was humble, if he noticed it carefully, he could detect that Pang Tong's tone had a little disdain, although Pang Tong tried his best to hide it.
Who is Cao Cao, how could he not notice the sheer disdain in Pang Tong's tone. It seems that the scribes in this Jingxiang land are really very hostile to themselves, and as a prime minister, not only is it disrespectful, but they hate themselves so much. I thought that I was also committed to supporting the Han family, but in the end I became a thief who stole the world. If you say that you are a thief who steals the country, how many people in the sky obey the emperor's orders.
A so-called Tiangao Emperor can ignore the emperor's orders from afar, Emperor Xian escaped from Chang'an back then, so many princes in the world, not only he led the army to save Emperor Xian. Moreover, his own territory was all fought hard by the soldiers, and the emperor could take back all his power as soon as he gave the order.
Everyone said that they were thieves who stole the country, but if they didn't have themselves, how chaotic the world was, and they went to the north with their own strength, so that the people in the north lived and worked in peace and contentment. It can be said that even if he claims to be the king and the emperor, the people in the north will support him, but he doesn't, and he still dedicates the emperor as the emperor, Cao Cao was a little stunned for a while, which made Pang Tong a little surprised. During this time, Pang Tongke had been looking at Cao Cao. Cao Cao sat on the main seat, domineering. It is worthy of a hegemon who can pass through the north by himself, just sitting there and not speaking, Cao Cao gives people an unrivaled momentum.
Cao Cao was stunned for a while, and then came back to his senses. Looking at Pang Tong below, Cao Cao asked in a deep voice: "Shiyuan's name, I have heard about it a long time ago. For Shi Yuan's talent, Lone also admires it. Shiyuan is here today, do you want to be out of me? If this is the case, then today is really my Cao Cao's blessing! β
Hearing Cao Cao say this, Pang Tong showed a rather embarrassed smile. His appearance is not very good-looking, and with such an ugly smile, it is even more annoying. But fortunately, Cao Cao had already seen someone uglier than Pang Tong, so he was still very immune to this.
After a slight sigh, Pang Tong opened his mouth and said: "I came here today to relieve the troubles of the Prime Minister, I know what the Prime Minister is worried about, so I specially came here to offer advice, hoping to relieve the Prime Minister's troubles." β
Hearing this, Cao Cao's eyes suddenly lit up, and when he heard Pang Tong say this, Cao Cao stood up immediately, and then said, "What is the clever plan of sir?" β
Cao Cao's performance was obviously not in Pang Tong's plan, he obviously couldn't show up, Cao Cao, who was still domineering just now, would have such a big reaction. However, the greater Cao Cao's reaction, the more likely he is to be fooled, so Pang Tong smiled slightly, and then said: "Although the northern soldiers under the command of the prime minister are all elite, but on this river, the Cao army soldiers are obviously useless, standing on the swaying warship, the Cao army soldiers can't even give full play to one-third of their strength. β
"I know a way to solve your troubles, Prime Minister!" Pang Tong said loudly, and as he spoke, Pang Tong paid attention to Cao Cao's expression.
It was clear that Cao Cao had been attracted by his words. The more Cao Cao is like this, Pang Tong is sure that Cao Cao will be fooled. After deliberately delaying for a while, when he saw that Cao Cao's expression was already impatient, Pang Tong said: "Did the prime minister ever think that if the iron chain connected all the warships, and then laid wooden planks on the warships, then the soldiers would walk on the ground as if they were walking on the ground, if this is the case, Cao Jun will be able to burst out with due combat effectiveness." β
Pang Tong paid attention to Cao Cao's expression as he spoke, but this time it obviously made Pang Tong a little disappointed, and Cao Cao did not directly agree to his opinion. When he finished speaking, Cao Cao fell into deep thought. After thinking about it carefully, he heard Cao Cao ask, "Fengxiao, what do you think of this matter?" β
Hearing Cao Cao's inquiry, Pang Tong immediately turned his head to look in the direction Cao Cao was looking. A weak scholar, this is Pang Tong's first impression. Immediately, Pang Tong began to imagine, and the identity of this person gradually surfaced. Guo Jia Guo Fengxiao, a genius who studied at Yingchuan Academy with Zhao Fei back then.
Mr. Shui Jing once said to himself, but when he was in Yingchuan, he had two proud protΓ©gΓ©s. One is now the Taiwei Zhao Fei, who is now above 10,000 people under one person, and the other person is this Guo Jia Guo Fengxiao. Although Guo Jia's age is a little young, his wit and intelligence are obviously difficult for ordinary people to achieve.
Mr. Shui Jing admires Guo Jia a lot, but Guo Jia's reputation is obviously 108,000 miles away from Zhao Fei. Mr. Shui Jing said that there was almost no gap between Zhao Fei and Guo Jia, and that Zhao Fei was famous, but Guo Jia was unknown, which obviously surprised Pang Tong. However, since Mr. Shui Jing admires Guo Jia a lot, it proves that Guo Jia must be a talent. At this moment, Pang Tong's heart gave birth to a trace of worry, if Guo Jia really saw through his plan, then everything would fall short.
Hearing Cao Cao's inquiry, Guo Jia stood up. He looked at Pang Tongyi's eyes, and then said: "I am confused about the matter of the navy, but if several warships are connected, it will definitely make the warship more stable, I think this is feasible!" β
Seeing that Guo Jia also said this, Cao Cao made up his mind to pay attention, and at this time, Guo Jia spoke again: "This matter is very important, just in case, it is better to select a few warships to try, if this method is really feasible, it will be promoted to the whole army." β
Hearing Guo Jia say this, Pang Tong nodded slightly, Guo Jia is really not an ordinary person, cautious, and full of strategists. However, the strategists of the north have the weakness of not knowing water, which is obviously not something that can be compensated for by ingenuity.
With Cao Cao's final decision, Pang Tong's heart suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. The purpose of his own envoy to Cao's army has been hit, and the iron cable ship will definitely be able to hit Cao Cao's expected effect, but if Zhou Yu really launches a fire attack, Cao Cao's warship will be burned to the ground in an instant, because Cao's warship has no way to dodge at all. Now that the plan has been accomplished, it's time to think about how you should get out of Cao Jun. I am in Cao Ying, and it must not be easy to get out.
Sure enough, just as Pang Tong was calculating how he should get out safely, Cao Cao said at this time: "Shi Yuan's dedication to this good plan today is really a great achievement. I ordered someone to build an iron chain, and when the iron chain is completed, I will personally invite Shi Yuan to board the ship. If the effect is good, I will give Shiyuan credit! β
Cao Cao said this, and Pang Tong obviously had no way to refuse. If he disappears without a trace after making his own plans, then a fool knows that he has bad intentions. It seems that he still needs to stay in Cao Jun for a while. After the chains of the Cao army were laid, he would find a way to leave the Cao army camp.
Pang Tong smiled slightly, and then said: "Since the prime minister loves him, how can he shirk it." "If you come here, you will be safe, anyway, you are already trapped in the camp of the Cao army, so why worry about anything. Besides, he just offered Cao Cao's advice, and Cao Jun not only won't deal with himself, but will also treat himself hospitablely, so being trapped in Cao Ying's camp is not necessarily a bad thing!
