When Guo Jia traveled to Jingzhou, Zhuge Liang's father was still alive, and the Zhuge family was also in Langya County, when Pang Tong was less than ten years old, Guo Jia didn't pay attention to such a pair of dragon and phoenix chicks.

As for whether the power of one person can turn the tide, Guo Jia was young and frivolous at that time and did not think so.

Sleeping dragon and phoenix chicks, you have to settle the world.

Guo Jia doesn't believe in this kind of words, the rise of a king, not by a certain person, but by a group of people who can law and wisdom, Liu Bang has Zhang Liang, Xiao He, Han Xin, Chen Ping and a large number of outstanding talents and military generals to assist in order to achieve hegemony, looking at the past dynasties, all the monarchs who want to create a prosperous foundation, no one can achieve fame by relying on a single adviser or general.

On the contrary, if a monarch can only rely on a talented man, he must have mixed feelings in his heart, and in history, Liu Bei Yong'an was lonely, and his words to Zhuge Liang were sad on his deathbed, I am afraid that most of them were also testing Zhuge Liang.

Now suddenly asked Pang Tong about Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia just wanted to see if there was a chance to pry Zhuge Liang to Yizhou, even if Zhuge Liang was not in office, it was also a means to suppress potential opponents.

"Shiyuan, Zhuge Liang, are you familiar with it?"

Pang Tong was puzzled, Guo Jia repeatedly led the topic to Zhuge Liang, is Zhuge Liang, who is only sixteen years old, already famous all over the world?

"Acquaintances in general. I had the privilege of listening to the teachings with him at Mr. Shui Jing. ”

Counting up, Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang are both senior disciples of Sima Hui.

Guo Jia, who closed his eyes and looked calm, asked again: "What kind of person do you think Zhuge Liang is?" If you send him a message and let the Zhuge family move to Chengdu, I will treat them well, is it feasible? ”

With a touch of disdain on his face, Pang Tong shook his head and said: "Zhuge Liang is a talent, he has great ambitions, but he has a shallow relationship with the Zhuge family, and he can serve the king. ”

The Zhuge family's series of actions are all to attach themselves to the Jingxiang clan and let them come to Yizhou? Wish for the moon.

"You and Zhuge Liang are both listening to the teachings in front of Sima Huizuo, why do you seem to despise Zhuge Liang so much?"

Hearing the faint ridicule in Pang Tong's voice, Guo Jiaton was suspicious.

Fu Long and Phoenix Chicks, of the same age, Pang Degong and Sima Hui have both taught the two, and there is no reason to be hostile to each other.

Pang Tong's face was calm, and he said lightly: "In the eyes, Zhuge Liang is conceited and hypocritical, his words are inconsistent, and he is ashamed to be with him. ”

Oh, Guo Jia can be regarded as an eye-opener, Pang Tong's coming to vote is already an unexpected thing, and after listening to Pang Tong's words, it can be regarded as another surprise.

I didn't ask any more, people in this era have their own aspirations, talented people look down on mediocre people, people of noble birth look down on poor children, literati and scholars look down on eunuchs, etc., Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang are not eye-catching, it is not too surprising.

Thinking about it carefully, Guo Jia smiled knowingly.

A person who said that he did not seek to be known to the princes, and compared himself to the music, Pang Tong said that this person was conceited and hypocritical, which is not unreasonable.

It's just conceited, Guo Jia doesn't seem to be, Zhuge Liang only dares to compare himself with Guan Le, Guan Zhong helped Qi Guo prosper, Le Yi helped Yan Guo to conquer the lost land, in the final analysis, these two people are not the characters who help the princes dominate the world, Zhuge Liang really doesn't know the height of the sky, he can compare himself to the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty, those three people are Liu Bang personally admitted that he won the world and became the emperor's Dingding hero.

The evening breeze is gentle and pleasant.

A few people leaned on the edge of the pool, chatting and gossiping, Guo Jia closed his eyes and recuperated, enjoying this rare and comfortable time.

On age, Pang Tong was young, and after introducing each other to Xu Chu, Ganning, Dian Wei and Ma Jun, he humbly and politely exchanged a few words, and looked up for a long time.

To be so cordially entertained by Guo Jia was beyond Pang Tong's expectations, and he expected that even if he left an impression on Guo Jia, and then stood out from the imperial examination, it would take several years to really enter Guo Jia's staff.

Now that the officialdom in Guanzhong is empty, Guo Jia wants to vigorously promote talents, Pang Tong sees the opportunity to come to work, which is already a shortcut, but he is not satisfied, Guo Jia is by his side, and if he can improve his impression score, he must perform more.

"Envoy, there is a plan to offer."

Pang Tong looked seriously at Guo Jia, who was leaning against the edge of the pool with his eyes closed.

Guo Jia, who raised his head and closed his eyes, hummed softly and waited for the following.

After pondering for a moment, Pang Tong opened his mouth and said loudly:

"After the king captures Guanzhong, he must first recuperate, Guanzhong is fertile for thousands of miles, as long as the people return to live and work in peace and contentment, Guanzhong's prosperity is just around the corner. Then you can quickly send troops to pacify the northwest, as long as Liangzhou starts, so that you will have no worries.

Once Yuan Shao unified Hebei, if he went south, it would be up to Cao Shao, if Cao Shao was attached to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao would occupy half of the country, and he would be able to coerce the princes of the Son of Heaven to make the monarch in a disadvantageous position. If Cao Ying refuses to join Yuan Shao, there will be a great war in the Central Plains that will determine the overlord of the north.

In the next thought, the king should first take Liangzhou, and to be fast, regardless of whether Yuan Shao and Cao Ying are at war, after the unification of the Guanxi will be fearless of the princes of the world, after that, watch the situation in the Central Plains, if Cao Ying is attached to Yuan Shao, so that the king will take the risk of Kuihan, Qinling moat in the north to resist Yuan Shao, and at the same time from Yizhou to send troops to the east, as long as the capture of Jingzhou Yangzhou, can rely on the Yangtze River to defend the danger, then can compete with Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao is over forty years old, so that the king only wait for Yuan Shao to die, you can send troops to the north and south to level the four seas.

If Cao Ying refused to join Yuan Shao, and the two families went to war, the prince could sit back and reap the profits, wait for the opportunity to go out of the Guandong and enter the east, depending on the situation of the two families, whether to sweep Hebei or capture the Central Plains.

To put it simply, in the next step, I thought that the envoy was the post-strategy, and first provoked Han Sui and Ma Teng to fight infighting, maneuver between Yuan Shao and Cao Ying, sow discord, and win time for the monarch to recuperate. ”

Except for Ma Jun, who didn't care about these things and went ashore to retire and leave, the three generals Xu Chudian and Wei Ganning all listened attentively to Pang Tong's strategy.

After Pang Tong finished speaking, he didn't see Guo Jia express his position, thinking that his advice was not taken seriously, and his heart was gloomy and very lost.

"Liangzhou will be mine sooner or later, if you don't take it now, the time has not come."

Guo Jia looked as usual, not excited or depressed.

Whether it is Cai Yan who once told him to raise troops from Yangzhou in Jingzhou, or Xu Shu and others who talked about strategies such as raising troops in Yangzhou, plus what Pang Tong said today.

Guo Jia listened, he had his own thoughts, his own judgment, whether to adopt it or not, to be considered.

"Shi Yuan, after I won Guanzhong, it is not what it used to be, you came to vote for me, you saw that I have the capital to compete in the world, can't the princes of Kanto see it? Yuan Shao can't see it, his subordinates Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, Xu You and others can't see it? Cao Ying doesn't need the reminders of Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Xun You and others, he can see it. If I want to reap the benefits, I must first unload their guards, there are two vicious wolves in Xiliang that cannot be fed, which I deliberately left for Yuan Shao and Cao Ying. ”

With a light smile, Guo Jia will first figure out Yuan Shao and Cao Ying's thoughts every step he takes now, what they are thinking about now, what they need, who the main external enemy is, and so on.

Pang Tong suddenly realized, it turned out that it was not that Guo Jia did not take his suggestion, but that he thought of it, and Guo Jia had already thought of it.

Gan Ning told Pang Tong the detailed process of the Battle of Guanzhong, and Pang Tong was dumbfounded after hearing it.

He only knew that Guo Jia had taken Guanzhong, but he didn't know that although Han Sui Ma Teng had been promoted, his strength had been greatly reduced, and it was difficult to pose a threat to Guanzhong, and he even returned to the northwest and immediately fell into a wave of unsettled rebellions.

"Alas, it's the class that got the axe down there. However, the envoy is not too careful, Cao Ying said that he did not officially show that the Son of Heaven would seal Guanzhong to the envoy, which shows that Cao Ying is guarding against the envoy, and even plotting to make the monarch secretly. ”

Pang Tong reminded Guo Jiashen that it was true.

Looking at the night sky, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and Guo Jia secretly said in his heart: The three most famous battles of the Three Kingdoms period, the Battle of Guandu, will start in a few years.

The battle of Guandu is a battle to determine the overlord of the north, Yuan Shao won, the world is just around the corner, Cao Yingsheng will unify the north after the rise of the Central Plains.

Guo Jia can't be the protagonist now, but if he wants to dominate the situation in the world, he must catch up with the battle of Guandu, so before that, he must quickly make Guanzhong no longer a burden, but a boost to his rise.

"Shi Yuan, although I am no longer at ease about the defeat of Jingzhou, I want to know who is the person who is planning for Liu Biao? I expect Liu Biao to come up with a plan to be arrogant and lure the enemy. ”

Pang Tong looked a little lost, and Guo Jia shifted the topic elsewhere.

It's not that Pang Tong's advice is wrong, but Guo Jia has already made a mistake in his chest, and a wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, Guo Jia does not dare to claim to be a wise man, he is the master of the people, he is a decisive, and there will always be a time when he is not thoughtful, so he must brainstorm and open up his views, the more talented strategists, the lower his chances of making a mistake.

Pang Tong said casually: "That strategy was designed and dedicated to Liu Jingzhou by Mr. Xenodu. ”

Xu Chu and Dian Wei, who were also pricking up their ears on the side, glanced at each other, and their expressions that had just become a little angry were depressed again.

Their current strategy is in the north, and it is impossible for them to go to Jingzhou for revenge.

Guo Jia nodded and then asked, "Then why are you in the Jingzhou military formation?" ”

Pang Tongyi's face was embarrassed, and he dodged his expression: "When I said that I had told Mr. Xenodu that the king would be defeated, I went with Liu Jingzhou, and I wanted to open my eyes and see something." ”

At that time, Pang Tong just applied what he had learned, and theoretically believed that Guo Jia would be defeated, the king of the righteous soldiers, and the angry soldiers would be defeated.

Now that he thinks about it, Pang Tong feels that he is exaggerating, if Guo Jia can use troops carefully, Jingzhou may have a very big chance of falling, but looking back from the overall situation, Guo Jia may do more harm than good when he defeats Jingzhou.

"Heterogeneous, the two brothers Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang are rare talents, but it's a pity that they are doing nothing under Liu Biao's account, and their real talents and hard work are used in intrigue, alas."

Guo Jia regretted that in the late years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, countless heroes and heroes were secretly invested, which made people sigh.
