Even according to Pang Shanmin's words, this crossbow is operated on an assembly line, and it is difficult to popularize it in the army, in Pang Shanmin's view, after such a sophisticated ordnance is made, it can be given priority to the entourage of the trapped camp and the generals of Jingxiang, if there is a huge lethality weapon to help, like Zhang Ren's situation of dying in Runan, it must be much reduced.

After Pang Shanmin said about the manufacture of crossbows, Huang Yueying left the two of them and rushed to the workshop in a hurry, wanting to inform Huang Chengyan of the matter, and Pang Shanmin discussed the Xiliang war with Zhuge Liang, wanting to check and fill in the gaps for Pang Tong on the situation of today's navy and horses.

For this expedition to Chang'an, Pang Shanmin instructed Pang Tong and the generals in the army early that Liu Bei's army and horses stationed in Chang'an will be the most important and strongest opponent that Jingxiang's army has encountered so far.

Zhuge Liang took all the Tianshui army reports, and told Pang Shanmin in detail how Pang Tong arranged the troops, and Pang Shanmin looked at Zhuge Liang's expression, and knew that Zhuge Liang was also quite confident in Pang Tong's response to this war.

When he said this, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but dance with his eyebrows, if Pang Shanmin could become the strongest prince in the world, just thinking about the power of Jingxiang in the future, Zhuge Liang's heart was excited.

Pang Shanmin listened to the grand plan and hegemony depicted by Zhuge Liang's mouth, and his heart was also quite excited. It's just that Pang Shanmin knows in his heart that the premise of all this must be based on the full merit of Pang's united battle and the situation in Xiliang. If the Tianshui coalition army is defeated, they want to find another good opportunity and annihilate Liu Bei in one fell swoop. It's hard.

In this world, everything in the world will affect the whole body with one more hair, don't look at Jing Xiang's ability to be strong and powerful now. Shock the Central Plains, Jiangdong, this is all based on Jingxiang's military horses, the east and the west to fight for a difficult defeat, if this defeat and Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Sun Quan two, how can they let go of this great opportunity to hit Jingxiang?

While the two were discussing, another soldier came to report, saying that the Tianshui Army had sent it to the newspaper. When Pang Shanmin heard this, he couldn't help but smile at Zhuge Liang: "It seems that Shi Yuan is much more cautious than before, and he knows that he has discussed and acted with Kong Ming." ”

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he smiled slightly and said, "Liang is not as talented as Shiyuan. It's just that I'm used to being careful, Yu Tianshui is strategizing, Shiyuan is enough, and Liang is nothing more than mentioning Shiyuan in the stumps, things that should be paid attention to. ”

"The devil is in the details."

Pang Shanmin muttered in his mouth, and opened the letterhead after speaking. After reading it with Zhuge Liang, the two of them were stunned.

After a long time, Pang Shanmin came back to his senses and said with a look of surprise: "Liu Bei wants to bow down and be a minister? What kind of joke is this?! ”

"Brother, don't forget, this Liu Bei has survived in the troubled times so far, it is relying on such a ability to bend and stretch, in the past, Liu Bei was under the account of Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others, and now this former master, most of them have been destroyed, it is Cao Cao, who was also betrayed by Liu Bei, brother must not believe this person's words!" Zhuge Liang said, but his brows were tightly entangled, obviously what Liu Bei said in the letter made him quite embarrassed in his heart.

Pang Shanmin also has no intention of surrendering Liu Bei at all, although he has no national enmity with Liu Bei, but he has a family hatred, Pang Shanmin's first thought is that if Liu Bei is surrendered, how to get along with Diao Chan and Ling'er in the future? And as Zhuge Liang said, Liu Bei's surrender this time is obviously afraid of the Tianshui Coalition Army, and the army is strong, how much sincerity can there be in such a forced move?

It's just that Pang Shanmin and Zhuge Liang have scruples in their hearts, if they don't accept Liu Bei's request to surrender, what will the lieutenant generals of Jingxiang's army think? And in the future, among the princes of the Sun and Cao families, if there are any more people who want to rely on Jing Xiang, won't they be afraid of this experience? …,

After a while, Pang Shanmin couldn't help but sigh lightly and said: "This Liu Bei is another problem for Pang, as Kong Ming said, Liu Bei's request to surrender, Pang Mou did not want to agree, but Pang Mou liked Liu Bei's army very much, but there were Yuan Zhi, Zilong and others...... And once Liu Bei's request to surrender is rejected, how should people in this world view Pang Mou's benevolence? The people in the world are disgusted with the scourge of swords, if Pang Mou is determined to go his own way, it is to occupy Chang'an, I am afraid that in the hearts of the people of Chang'an, Pang Mou is no different from Ma Teng, Cao Cao and other people who forcibly occupied Chang'an. ”

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he frowned for a long time, and after a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said: "Brother I'm afraid I forgot, when Liu Bei was in Jingxiang before, how did my brother ruin this Liu Bei's popularity?" ”

When Pang Shanmin heard Zhuge Liang's words, he suddenly became enlightened, and after just thinking about it for a while, he shook his head and said: "Xiangyang ruined Liu Bei's reputation, because Pang has been operating in Jingxiang for a long time and has won the trust of the people, but Chang'an is under Liu Bei's rule after all, and among the people of Chang'an, who knows Pang?" It was Pang Mou who bluntly told the people of Chang'an that they had scruples in their hearts, and who was willing to believe Pang's heartfelt words? ”

"In the past, my brother told Jing Xiang about Liu Bei's capricious face, and now he will tell the world about his face!" Zhuge Liang smiled when he heard this: "As for the people of Chang'an, if you hear the gossip of people from all over Chang'an, wouldn't it be the same as Jingxiang before, and everyone will be the same?" Zhuge Liang said, and said solemnly: "And before the two families of Cao Cao quit the army, my brother and this Cao Cao, but there is some good fate, now is the time to take advantage of the situation, if you are today, you are disgusted with Liu Bei, this imperial uncle, how should you deal with yourself?" ”

Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang couldn't help laughing and said: "This Liu Bei can be established so far, all because he is a member of the Han family, but brother don't forget, now the people of the clan, in addition to Cao Cao's coercion of the Son of Heaven, Jingsheng, Ji Yu are all in Jingxiang, if the Han family clan announces to the world, Liu Bei, the king of Zhongshan Jing Liu Sheng, the great-grandson of Emperor Xiaojing, is a person who deceives the world and steals his name, I don't know how to deal with the emperor's uncle!" ”

When Pang Shanmin heard this, he was stunned for a while, and couldn't help laughing, and said to Zhuge Liang: "Kong Ming, this plan is too shady, although no one knows now, what is Liu Bei's life experience, but if the saint changes his words and talks about Liu Bei's position as the emperor's uncle, it is a fallacy of the previous clan, but it hurts the saint's face." ”

"Who in the world doesn't know what the prime minister is saying now. It is the words of the saint, and if the saint said that the person who sent the genealogy in the past was bribed by Liu Bei, this Liu Bei is afraid that he will be even more infamous! Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, and he said to Pang Shanmin: "Cao Cao's side, Liang Zhi's calculations." should be happy to see it come to pass, Liu Bei broke two levels in a row before, and Cao Cao will inevitably settle accounts with him. The brother who pushed the boat down the river also helped the two families to smoothly carry out the strike, but Liang didn't know it. When Liu Bei heard this bad news, would he draw his sword and kill himself on the spot......"

Chang'an, too shou Fuzhong.

Since Pang Tong to Tianshui Tun soldiers, all the way to explore the horse will be rewarded, saying that this Jingxiang, Xichuan military horses have been going to Tianshui in a steady stream, Tianshui a city, the prosperity of the army, rare in the world, and know its army command. After Pang Shiyuan, the younger brother of the Pangshan nation, Liu Bei was even more frightened when he heard it.

Xu Shu and Pang Tong have been friends for a long time, and every time they talk about Pang Tong, there is a lot of confusion between their eyebrows. Now that Pang Tong is in charge of the army and deters Yongliang, Xu Shu also told Liu Bei bluntly that if there is a battle, it will be difficult for the Chang'an army and horses to win.

The joy of breaking two levels in a row must be in a moment. It disappeared completely, Liu Bei has summoned Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and the two rushed to Chang'an in the starry night, after meeting with the two, Liu Bei was still worried in his heart, although Guan Zhang and the two were ten thousand enemies, but they were really able to fight with one enemy and ten thousand, Chang'an military horses faced the Pang Tong army, guarding the city, still overstretched, and the Zhao Yun military horses in the city of Anding were all recalled, Liu Bei and Xu Shu discussed the surrender of the city. …,

Liu Bei, who has been in troubled times for more than ten years, understands better than others that the first premise for achieving great things is to save his life, Han Xin can be humiliated by stepping down, and a little shame can survive, Liu Bei is naturally happy to do it.

And the matter of surrender, I have done a lot, and I am familiar with it.

After Liu Bei informed Xu Shu of this idea, Xu Shu secretly said in his heart that Uncle Huang was a little too optimistic about his surrender this time.

When he was in Jingxiang before, Pang Shanmin was inexplicably jealous of Liu Bei, and now that Pang Shanmin is very prosperous, how can he easily accept Liu Bei's surrender? Moreover, Liu Bei was driven out of Jingxiang by Pang Shanmin earlier, and he talked about Liu Bei's previous tossing and turning between the princes, so it seems that it is extremely difficult to get Pang Shanmin to accept Liu Bei's surrender.

It's just that for this matter, Liu Bei is much more optimistic than Xu Shu, Liu Bei has always thought that his reputation as the emperor of the Han Dynasty is very useful for the affairs of the princes of Pangshan, if Liu Bei returns to Xiangyang, the Han family clan except for the Son of Heaven, are all under the command of Pang Shanmin, and Liu Biao and Liu Zhang have been operating in Jingxiang and Xichuan for more than ten years, and there are many protégés and former officials.

Compared to Chang'an, who lives a day of fear, it is better to be wronged and be more submissive in front of that young descendant of Jingxiang, what can it be?

And Pang Shanmin admires Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and other tiger generals in the world, and has a great role in Jingxiang's expansion of territory in the future.

After Xu Shu was persuaded by Liu Bei, his mind was also shaken, compared to Liu Bei's blind optimism, Xu Shu was in Xiliang at such a time, and he also missed the days when the academy and Wolong, Feng Xiao and so on made friends, and sat and talked about the day, before Xu Shu had the opportunity to join the command of Pang Shanmin, but Xu Shu was stubborn, and he preferred to serve Liu Bei, and now he has been with Liu Bei for a long time, although Xu Shu is loyal to Liu Bei, as always, but he also has to admit in his heart that after Pang Shanmin became the master of Jingxiang, the people under his command benefited a lot.

And in recent days, Xu Shu will think more about what Pang Shanmin said before, should he be loyal to the foundation of the Han Liu family, or loyal to the people of the Han Dynasty?

It's a pity that it hasn't stopped so far, and Xu Shu still has a hard time getting it in his heart......

Since Dong Zhongshu of the Western Han Dynasty, there have been three outlines and five constants, the monarch is the minister, the father is the son, and the husband is the wife...... Although the late Han Dynasty was in turmoil, in Xu Shu's view, if Pang Shanmin could be used by the Liu family, he could balance Cao Cao, with his talent, and now Jingxiang's strong strength, it is to welcome back the Son of Heaven and restore the glory of the Han Dynasty, and there is great hope.

And Pang Shanmin was the master of the people early, questioning Liu Biao, Liu Zhang was in Xiangyang, obviously had a plan to replace the Liu family, there are no two days, there are no two monarchs in the country, since this Pang Shanmin does not want to be a minister of the Han Dynasty, in essence, he is also a chaotic minister and thief.

Xu Shu is a dignified seven-foot man, how can he find this chaotic minister and thief to serve him?

But Xu Shu also wondered in his heart, Pang Tong was the younger brother of the Pang Shan nation, and it was okay to help the Pang Shan people carefully, but Zhuge Liang, Shi Tao, Meng Jian and others were also willing. Feng Pang Shanmin is the mainstay? Could it be that the students of this academy are now proud of being rebellious ministers and thieves?

"What's wrong?" Xu Shu found that when Liu Bei wanted to surrender to Jingxiang, Xu Shu's long-standing firm belief in his heart seemed to have loosened, and he looked at Liu Bei who was dignified above the high hall. In Xu Shu's heart, the pain became more and more ......

In the city of Xudu, it is not as noisy as Chang'an. Since the dismissal of the two families with Jingxiang, the military horses of Runan have been frequently transferred, which has made the people in the city of Xudu, who have been hazy for a long time. In recent years, with the arrival of more Jingxiang businessmen, Xudu has gradually returned to the prosperous scene of the past. …,

At this time, in the prime minister's mansion, Cao Cao summoned the ministers to discuss the matter.

It's just that what Cao Cao discussed with everyone was not about the resumption of Qingzhou, but looked at the handwritten letter sent by Jing Xiang from Pang Shanmin on the case, and laughed.

Guo Jia, Jia Xu and other important ministers of Cao Ying, seeing Cao Cao's joy, were also curious. Since the strike with the Jingxiang family, although the prime minister is in a good mood, he rarely has such a gaffe as now, after Cao Cao ordered everyone to read the letter, Guo Jia. Jia Xu and the two of them couldn't cry or laugh on their faces.

Such a devastating strategy is obviously not like Pang Shanmin's handwriting, and in Jingxiang, only Pang Tong can set up this plan, but Pang Tong is now in Tianshui. Could it be that Jing Xiang is a minister, and another strong person has been added?

This plan wants to destroy Liu Bei's popularity, if as the letter on Pang Shanmin said, Cao Cao acted according to the plan, this Pang Tong is not to punish the army and horses, the soldiers into Chang'an, Chang'an soldiers are also afraid that they are unintentionally defended, this Liu Bei, who has been in the world for more than ten years, and at this time, but suddenly became a rebellious minister and thief who sells his reputation and has suspicions, I don't know what his face is, and he exists in the world.

Cao Cao saw a group of strategists, his expression was complicated, and he couldn't help laughing: "Why didn't Cao Mou think before that there was such a way to deal with Liu Bei." ”

"As soon as this plan comes out, whether it succeeds or not, Liu Bei and Pang Shanmin will never die......" Guo Jia heard Cao Cao's words, and couldn't help laughing: "If Liu Bei had known that Toucheng Jingxiang would have received such 'favor', I am afraid that he would have made up his mind a long time ago and fought to the death with Pang Shanmin!" ”

When Jia Xu heard this, he also said with a smile: "Hearing this strategy, Jia's name as a 'poisoner' should also abdicate and make way for Xian, Jing Xiang's plan is really too bad, but according to the prime minister's opinion, will he help Jing Xiang and push the boat down the river?" ”

"He Liu Xuande also has today, if he lived honestly in Chang'an before, Cao would not care about him, but Liu Bei took advantage of Jiangdong to make chaos in Qingzhou, even broke Tong Pass, Hangu Pass two passes, Chang'an soldiers and horses still dare to look at Luoyang from afar, Cao should also be repaid, if you don't fall into the well, but some can't live Xuande!" Cao Cao said, and laughed loudly: "And Cao's sense of the Pang mountain people is not bad, and Jing Xiang's actions are quite in line with Cao's intentions, since this is the case, Cao should be in front of the Son of Heaven and say everything about it." ”

"It's just that the prime minister has ever thought about it, if Jingxiang gets Yongliang again, the land under its jurisdiction will surround the Central Plains, from south to north, and in the future, he can send out several armies to invade my Central Plains!" Guo Jia said, Cao Cao was slightly stunned and then frowned: "But the time for these two families to strike is still short, if Cao does not follow the wishes of this Pang Shanmin, he is resentful, and he will add the soldiers of Runan, how to deal with it?" ”

Cao Cao said, Guo Jia sighed lightly, and said secretly in his heart: How can the prime minister not see the current situation clearly? It's just that in front of his subordinates, he doesn't want to mention that Jing Xiang is strong.

Now Jingxiang is strong, and the previous Hebei Yuan Shao, not the same day, Yuan Shao was strong in the past, only because of its many soldiers, but the mastermind in the army, not concentric, and Hebei products, how can it be compared to the current Jingxiang so rich in the world?

Even Guo Jia has to admit that Jing Xiang is now difficult to find loopholes.

"The prime minister can contribute to this, but Jia thinks that at the same time, he also wants to let Jing Xiang pay some benefits!" Jia Xu said and said to Cao Cao: "Chang'an, Pang Shanmin will not defend it, but Tongguan and Hangu Pass are newly obtained by Liu Bei, if we ask Jingxiang for it, Pang Shanmin will get the benefits, and he should also give it to the prime minister, this face!" ”

"It doesn't cost a soldier to regain two male passes, Wenhe's plan is very much in line with Cao's mind!" Cao Cao said, glanced at Jia Xu approvingly, but heard Guo Jia sigh: "According to Guo's opinion, the Pang Shanmin will at most hand over Hangu Pass to the prime minister. At that time, Liu Bei will be destroyed, and the two passes will be re-controlled by the mountain people! ”

When Jia Xu heard this, he thought for a moment, nodded his head, and said to Cao Cao: "What Feng Xiao said is extremely true, but Jia's previous thoughts were inappropriate. ”

Cao Cao saw that everyone agreed with this help to Pang Shanmin to promote the destruction of Liu Bei's reputation, so he immediately called Xun Yu and went to the palace together.

For Liu Bei, the cheap imperial uncle, Liu Xie originally wanted to rely on this person and regain power, but now Liu Bei has been attacked by the two major princes in the world.

Liu Xie looked shocked and said to Cao Cao: "Prime Minister, the previous royal family tree has been confirmed that this person is a relative of the Han family. ”

"Now that Cao has confirmed, before Liu Bei entered the palace, he bribed the palace people......" Cao Cao looked solemn and said to Liu Xie: "The Han family clan, there is no room for mistakes!" Liu Bei is a man who sells his reputation and pretends to be a clan, could it be that the saint still wants to connive at such chaotic ministers and thieves? ”
