While speaking, a person strode in, it was Pang Tong.

Fang Shao originally thought that since Liu Bei couldn't wipe his face and couldn't be ruthless to Liu Zhang, then his subordinates would do it for him, so that Liu Bei could complain to Liu Zhang afterwards: "Brother, I really can't bear to do it to you, it's all my own initiative by the courtiers under me, no way brother, the wood is already in the boat, you can rest assured that you can take care of the elderly, and the mess in Yizhou will be cleaned up for you." ”

However, this is a simple matter, but there are significant follow-up risks.

As a courtier, although the original intention is for the good of the lord, and the ending is also beneficial to the lord, but the use of power on behalf of the lord is an extremely taboo thing after all, even if it is a wise monarch, if he doesn't say it, he will leave a shadow in his heart, and it is not impossible to settle accounts after the country sits firmly in the future.

In history, such examples abound, how could Fang Shao not know, and the reason why he came up with such a plan was that he didn't plan to do it, but was ready to fool others to do it. I didn't expect Pang Tong to coincide with his own thoughts, so if this is the case, it would be good to fool him to do it.

So, Fang Shao took the opportunity to say: "It is worthy of being a Pang military master, Shao's little tricks can't escape your grasp." Seriously, you are the mastermind of this time in Shu, below the lord, we are the only one, such a God-given opportunity is placed in front of you, the lord can't wipe it off to take it, at this critical time, only you are out. ”

Zhang Song also said: "What Fang Cheng said is extremely true, and when it is constantly broken, it will be chaotic." Didn't the lord take the cup as a sign, then Pang Junshi could pretend to toast with the lord, pretend to be drunk and take the cup off, and the people and horses in the ambush naturally couldn't figure out who gave the order, and when the people and horses swarmed in, the lord just wanted to retreat. ”

Although Pang Tong also knew the magic of this strategy, but Fang Shao could not think of it, and he couldn't think of it, so he didn't say anything at the moment, just stroked his beard and smiled.

Fang Shao originally thought that he had just entered generously, but he already had such a plan in his heart, but at this time, he made a mysterious void, and seemed reluctant to go in front of the bird, so he glanced at Fa Zheng.

Fa Zheng understood, and said: "Master Pang, we also know that this matter has a way to lose its subordinates, but compared with the entire Yizhou, what is the way of such a subsection, with the magnanimity of the lord, it is naturally not counted." If my Fa is the most trusted person of the lord, I will do this for the lord, but at the moment, you are the mastermind most trusted by the lord, and the result of what you do is very different from mine. ”

Fa Zheng's sycophant shot Pang Tong to the sky, this unattractive phoenix chick, whether under Sun Quan's account or Zhou Yu, was much neglected, even if he was so reused under Liu Bei, but because of his strange surname, it was still rare to be praised by his colleagues.

And now, the three wise people have all pinned their hopes on themselves, and so bluntly expressed their hearts of dependence, which is naturally very useful for Pang Tong, who has suffered from cold eyes.

Pang Tong pondered for a long time, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he showed a strange smile that marked his surname, and said with his head held high: "Since you all elected the unification, it is incumbent on you to be unification, you all have to be careful, and those who will see the sword and sword shadow later, so as not to hurt yourself." ”

After a few people discussed, they returned to the big tent one after another.

Here, the two Liu brothers have a few cups of belly, and their faces are full of wine red, and they are a little overwhelmed by alcohol, so they return to their respective positions, drink some tea to relieve their hangovers for the time being, and then come to drink after resting.

The atmosphere of the banquet was still relaxed and cheerful, Fang Shao and a few others sat in their respective seats, although their expressions were also happy, but their eyes were sharp and cold, and several people looked at each other from time to time, and in the end, the eyes of the three of them were focused on Pang Tong.

Pang Tong secretly took a breath, waited for a while, and then picked up the wine glass, pretended to be drunk, and staggered towards Liu Bei, stammering in his mouth: "Lord, if you didn't bring Tong into Sichuan, how could Tong see Liu Yizhou such a benevolent and hospitable lord, this cup must thank the lord." ”

Liu Bei didn't seem to realize Pang Tong's ulterior motives, so he raised his wine glass at the moment, and said with a smile: "If it weren't for the military advisor, you said that Ji Yu is a generation of heroes, and persuaded me to come to Sichuan, how could I, Liu Bei, have such a happy reunion with me, a good brother of the same clan." Let's toast Ji Yu together in this cup and thank him for his hospitality. ”

Liu Zhang, who was drunk and smoky over there, was happy to hear it, and also raised his glass and smiled: "How dare you, we will be a family in the future, what kind words your family says, as long as you drink happily, come, drink this cup." ”

Liu Zhang also joined in the fun, but he didn't know that a catastrophe was coming.

Watching Liu Bei drink the wine, watching Pang Tong slowly raise the wine glass, Fang Shao and the others followed with a heart hanging in their throats, both excited and nervous looking forward to what would happen next.

Sure enough, when Pang Tong's wine glass was raised, his body inadvertently moved towards Liu Bei, blocking the sight of others, and when the wine glass was about to reach his mouth, he only pretended to be a slip in his hand, and the wine glass fell to the ground.

Because Pang Tong blocked Liu Bei's eyeliner, once the wine glass landed, others would mistakenly think that Liu Bei's wine glass had landed, and the code would be down, and the ambush would come out in response.

At this moment, Fang Shao's fists were clenched tightly, ready to jump up.

However, an accident happened, just when the wine glass was halfway down, Liu Bei suddenly stretched out his hand, caught the wine glass, and then returned it to Pang Tong with a smile.

"Strategist, it seems that you are drunk, and the wine glass is almost unstable."

Liu Bei's expression was normal, and he didn't seem to find any flaws, but Pang Tong was stunned for a while, and then he reacted and said with a smile: "Yes, the wine given by Liu Yizhou is too fragrant, and Tong can't help but get drunk." ”

Over there, Liu Zhang's wine was already in his stomach, and he laughed when he heard this, and said proudly: "I have such a good wine in my Chengdu treasury, if Pang Junshi likes it, I will ask someone to fetch hundreds of jars, and ask Pang Junshi to drink enough." ”

"Thank you very much."

Pang Tong's face was grateful, but he was a little frightened in his heart, the layout was destroyed by Liu Bei's unexpected move, he didn't know how to respond for a while, so he had to turn around and prepare to return to his seat.

At this moment, Liu Bei also staggered to his feet, holding Pang Tong with his hand and said: "Military advisor, I see that you are drunk, why don't you go out with me to take a breath, and when we come back, we will have a drink with Ji Yu again." ”

Liu Zhang smiled and said, "Okay, okay, Xuande go and come back quickly, we won't get drunk tonight." ”

So, Liu Bei pulled Pang Tong out of the big tent and turned to the side, Liu Bei immediately returned to normal, except for the wine red on his face, the whole person couldn't see a trace of drunkenness at all.

Pang Tong was stunned for a moment and said, "The lord didn't drink too much. ”

Liu Bei smiled and said, "My amount of wine is not so bad, just a few glasses." I said, "Strategist, you shouldn't have accidentally taken off that wine glass." ”

Pang Tongyi was dumbfounded, looking at Liu Bei's fake drunk spirit, and listening to his tone, it seemed that he already knew what he was doing, but Pang Tong didn't plan to do so.

"Well...... Of course, it was careless, and the amount of alcohol in the system was not as good as that of the lord. ”

Liu Bei was not dissatisfied with Pang Tong's sophistry, he just sighed and said: "The military advisor also wants to hide it from me, just now you and Zhongzheng and a few people went in and out, and you must have privately planned to bear the unrighteous name for me, your good intentions, how can I Liu Bei not know." ”

When it came to this, Pang Tong was bored with any more sophistry, so he had to put on a sincere expression and said bitterly: "I'm waiting for this decision, and it's all for the lord." The heaven-sent opportunity is right in front of you, and if the lord doesn't take it, it will only chill the hearts of the soldiers. ”

"I also know, but I, Liu Bei, have never done anything unrighteous in my life, and now I have killed the same sect overnight and defrauded his business, no matter what others think, it will be difficult for me to turn this corner in my own heart."

Liu Bei looked embarrassed, and it could be seen that his heart was undergoing a huge change, and the process was painful, but if he could turn it around smoothly, the future would be bright.

At this time, Fang Shao, who followed out, walked up, he heard Liu Bei's words with his own ears, and he was also quite touched in his heart.

Pang Tong seemed to be a little impatient by Liu Bei's hesitation, so he had to beckon to Zhongzheng and said, "Zhongzheng, you came just in time, you should persuade the lord." ”

After getting along with Liu Bei for so many years, Fang Shao knew that Liu Bei was not a saint of benevolence and righteousness, because in the eyes of the saint, he only had fame and no profit, Liu Bei had struggled for most of his life, and how could he only be for an empty name of benevolence and righteousness.

It's just that from Xuzhou to Jingzhou, along the way, he has always taken benevolence and righteousness as the criterion for acting, and over time, he has formed a kind of habitual surname in thinking, this huge habitual surname, like a person's lifelong fraud, you suddenly let him do benevolence and righteousness, and it is not easy to get rid of it.

Fang Shao understands Liu Bei's painful mood now, entangled between fame and fortune, but even if he understands, he must be ruthlessly criticized.

"The lord holds most of Jingzhou, but he can only gather tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, the reason is naturally that Jingzhou has experienced war, the people have been killed and injured, and the countryside has withered, so what Jingzhou can do now is only to protect itself. In this way, the only place to help the lord to fight for the world with Cao Ying in the north is to benefit the state, but if the lord gives up this God-given opportunity to win without a fight, he will inevitably meet Liu Zhang's soldiers in the future, and where the war has burned, Yizhou will inevitably be exhausted. And at that time, although the lord gained Yizhou, but had to recuperate, precious time passed like this, when Yizhou regained its vitality, the north has been determined, and with the power of a state to compete with the whole north, how much chance does the lord think to win? ”

Liu Bei's expression gradually calmed down, and the tangled look in his eyebrows seemed to be weakened a lot by Fang Shao's words.

Fang Shao saw the opportunity, so he said categorically: "In short, if the lord wants to fight for the world, he must temporarily let go of the burden of benevolence and righteousness. If you only want to divide one side and divide the world into three parts, then with the power of the lord, this Yizhou can be seized by force even if it does not use deception, and there is no need to worry so much. ”
