Liu Biao entered Jingzhou, in addition to the strong support of the Kuai family and the Cai family, Pang Degong also contributed to the fifty-five thieves behind the scenes, Liu Biao wanted to reuse Pang Degong, but at this time, Yizhou Guo Jia sent troops from Chengdu to Jingzhou direction, Liu Biao also knew that it was unlikely to ask Pang Degong to go out of the mountain to assist, after all, it is difficult to predict whether he, the Jingzhou pastor, can be the pastor, it is difficult to predict, but he can send someone to thank Pang Degong, which is reasonable and cannot be ignored.

The fragrance of tea in Shuijing Villa is permeated, and the four people kneeling in the house are leisurely tasting tea, looking leisurely and wanton.

Pang Degong likes Pang Tong's nephew very much, and every time he comes to Sima Hui, he brings Pang Tong here, and after Sima Hui briefly contacts Pang Tong, a young man, he is also full of praise, and at the same time admires Pang Degong's vision even more, because even Pang Degong's own son may not be able to compare with Pang Tong's status in his heart.

Kuai Yue tasted a sip of tea, his lips and teeth were fragrant, and the aftertaste was endless, and then he arched his hand to Pang Degong and said: "My lord specially ordered me to come to thank Mr. ”

Waving his hand indifferently, Pang Degong said humbly: "A little thing is not enough to worry about." If Liu Yuanjun can benefit the people of Jingzhou, it will not be regarded as living up to the painstaking efforts of the people in Jingzhou who are looking forward to long-term peace and stability. ”

Teachable nodded, Kuai Yue sighed: "My lord governs Jingzhou and pursues the way of benevolence and righteousness, which is a great good, but the foothold is not stable, the soldiers and horses are not strong, and the Yizhou traitor Guo Jiaqin led a large army from Chengdu, the plan is not small, and it is very likely that he is here to attack Jingzhou." Since the king made Jun Xue under the knife of Wucheng Hou, Jingzhou has been in an eventful autumn, and there is even more danger of survival at this moment, alas. ”

Pang Degong and Sima Hui, who lingered in the Water Mirror Villa, this kind of military information would not be obtained so quickly, hearing Kuai Yue's words, he frowned at the same time, and couldn't help but think of the arrogant young man who was a guest in the Water Mirror Villa a few years ago.

After pondering for a while, Pang Degong looked at Sima Hui suspiciously and asked, "Guo Jia has just captured Yizhou, is the foundation already stable?" Recklessly waving his army is not the work of a wise man, with his resourcefulness, he will not see the situation clearly, right? ”

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Sima Hui could only sigh at this fellow villager who had committed capital crimes several times after he became famous: "This son can't be treated with common sense." If he really wants to swallow Jingzhou, he is young and vigorous, and there is no one in his eyes. ”

The two hermits in front of him are both incomparably wise and talented, although Kuai Yue came to thank him for this trip, he also wanted to ask the two of them how to solve the current crisis.

"Two gentlemen, although there are 100,000 soldiers under the command of my lord, but these soldiers have just joined my lord, the army is not stable, the army is still short, and the combat power cannot be overestimated, Guo Jia is in Yizhou to go to the sky, step on the strong city, attack the city and pull out the momentum like a rainbow, the soldiers under his command are all tiger and wolf divisions, my lord may be difficult to compete with it, even if Guo Jia is repelled by luck, the casualties are incalculable, and how to prevent Nanyang Yuan Shu at that time? I also hope that the two gentlemen will give advice. ”

Looking at Kuai Yue standing up and bowing his hands, Sima Hui and Pang Degong looked at each other, revealing a little helplessness, Pang Degong was interested in comparing his nephew's knowledge, so he turned his head to Pang Tong, who was sitting beside him, and asked: "In your opinion, if Guo Jiaruo comes to Jingzhou, what are the odds?" ”

With an ugly but serious face, Pang Tong closed his eyes and thought for a while, and then said calmly: "The sages have words, and there are five soldiers: there are righteous soldiers, there are responding soldiers, there are angry soldiers, there are greedy soldiers, and there are arrogant soldiers. Punishing violence and saving the weak is the righteousness, the enemy comes to add his own last resort and uses the response, the fight for the small is not overwhelmed by the anger of his heart, the benefit of the land, the greed of the people and goods, the greatness of the country, the crowd of the people, and the pride of those who want to see the power of the enemy country. The king of the righteous soldiers, the soldiers should win, the angry soldiers are defeated, the greedy soldiers die, the arrogant soldiers are destroyed, this heavenly way is also. ”

These words made Sima Hui and Pang Degong both smile, although they are all retelling the words of the sages according to the script, they can apply what they have learned, read thousands of volumes, and when to use what knowledge, is the most important thing, Pang Tong is not arrogant or impatient at a young age, and he will become a great weapon in the future.

Kuai Yue's face was shocked, the last time he was impressed by Pang Tong was because of Pang Tong's temperament, and this time Pang Tong surprised him because of Pang Tong's knowledge.

Putting down the elders' shelves, Kuai Yue arched his hand to Pang Tong and said: "These five soldiers, Guo Jia and my master, who will win or lose?" ”

Pang Tong didn't dare to be a big gift, so he hurriedly returned the salute, and then looked at Pang Degong, and continued to say calmly in Pang Degong's smiling and encouraging eyes:

"Guo Jianai is a rebellious thief leader, who came to invade Jingzhou, bullied the weak, tried in vain to occupy the land of Jingzhou, plundered the wealth of Jingzhou, and oppressed the people of Jingzhou. Liu envoy Jun to protect the territory and the people, led Jingzhou up and down to resist to the death, this is a volunteer soldier, where the royal road is, will be able to fight and win. ”

There was silence in the hall, and after a long time, Kuai Yue let out a long breath of turbidity, and the serious color on his face stretched out, and smiled at Pang Degong: "Mr.'s talent is rare in the world, and the nephew who is teaching now is also very young and extraordinary, congratulations to Mr. ”

Pang Degong smiled indifferently and did not answer, he was satisfied with the performance of Pang Tong, who taught wholeheartedly.

Kuai Yue's mind was like a cloud, and it suddenly became clear, and when he was about to leave, he didn't expect that the young Pang Tong raised his head and said to Pang Degong: "The little nephew wants to go to Xiangyang to see Liu Zhijun retreat from the enemy." ”

Pound asked in surprise: "Why do you have such an idea?" Killing on the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, and if you miss it slightly, you may be in danger of your life. ”

Pang Tong replied solemnly: "The little nephew doesn't want to talk on paper like Zhao Kuo. ”

With this idea, Pang Degong naturally supported it, turned to Kuai Yue and said, "My nephew still asks Xenodu to take care of it, but Xenodu must put business first." ”

Kuai Yue naturally agreed, Pang Tong got up and saluted Kuai Yue, and then walked out of the Water Mirror Villa with Kuai Yue.

After leaving Shuijing Villa, he hurried back to Xiangyang, and the haze that permeated Kuai Yue's heart disappeared, and he had been comparing military strength before, Kuai Yue was a little bit of a bull's horn, Pang Tong's opinion made him suddenly enlightened, and his thinking was instantly broadened.

When Kuai Yue returned to Xiangyang with Pang Tong, he first settled Pang Tong to rest in his own mansion, and then hurried to the state pastor's mansion, and the Jingzhou administrative office was also moved to Xiangyang.

The house was gloomy, Liu Biao sat on the main seat at a loss, Yuan Shu in the north was still gathering strength, but Guo Jia in the west had already waved his army to attack, Liu Biao had just been a pastor in Jingzhou for a few days, and fell into a greater crisis.

Kuai Yue didn't bother much, maybe one day Guo Jia would come to the city, and immediately confidently offered advice to Liu Biao: "Lord, Guo Jia is good at planning and then moving, raising troops to attack must be fully prepared, when he first entered Jingzhou, he must be cautious, and his goal is very likely to be Xiangyang, because in Guo Jia's eyes, Jingzhou is afraid that only Yuan Shu is entrenched in Nanyang, he does not know that the lord has pacified the civil strife in Jingzhou in a short period of time, attacked Yizhou, Guo Jia has won great victories again and again, and the soldiers are strong, at the beginning, the lord can not compete with him, temporarily avoid the edge, and then ......"

Liu Biao was overjoyed after hearing this, and said excitedly: "Okay! This plan will definitely make Guo Jia come and go. ”

……

After resting in Yong'an, Padang, Guo Jia waved his army eastward, and Sima Ju went out of the city to see him off.

The army walked by, Guo Jiace Ma and Sima Ju said goodbye on the side of the road, and the smoke and clouds of Wushan could be seen as far as the eye could see, and in the alternate seasons of autumn and winter, the cool wind blew through.

"General Sima, you and I first met at the foot of Taihang Mountain, at that time I was cornered, and you led the remnants of the Yellow Turban to this point, you and I have come to this point hand in hand, overcoming thousands of difficulties, both Dong Zhuo stole the Dragon Court, the Kwantung Army's crusade and melee, and we will be handsome, everyone is planning to kill, plus the geographical advantage of Yizhou surrounded by steep and steep, the Taiping Army finally has a foothold, it can be said that it is difficult to start a business."

Hearing Guo Jia's words of emotion, Sima Ju's heart turned over the river and the sea, mixed tastes, it is not easy to have today's achievements, I want to bear Zhang Jiao's grace and follow the great sage and good teacher to conspire together, the defeat of Luoyang lingered, several times of life and death danger, the familiar faces around him disappeared one after another, he had tears in his eyes, choked and said: "Yes, if there is no lord to take us out of the mountains and forests, I am afraid that Sima Ju will not even be able to maintain a meal and clothing." It's just a pity that many brothers who haven't caught up with the good days, alas, without them, how can I be today? ”

Seeing the man's tears flowing from him, Guo Jia went up and patted him on the shoulder as if comforting.

This person, I don't know the depth and stakes, but he is always a person who values affection and righteousness, and he cried because of the memory of the deceased soldiers, Guo Jia could see that Sima Ju was not coy, but really felt.

However, a person's love and righteousness cannot be compared with his style of acting, Guo Jia mentioned the old things to Sima Ju in the hope that Sima Ju would not forget his roots, not forget the suffering he had suffered, and the oppression he experienced must be unforgettable, so he must not only be sympathetic to the soldiers, but also be lenient and considerate of the people.

Sima Ju cried for the dead soldiers, Guo Jia was moved, but he still had to say a few more words, hoping that Sima Ju could change his past.

"General Sima, I once said that I want to let you and your soldiers and the people live and work in peace and contentment, although we have become the masters of Yizhou, but the road ahead is long, there is a long way to go, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment is not something that can be achieved by talking about it, after I led the army to Jingzhou, I hope you will govern Badong County well, and have a word to tell you before parting, think about it more than your heart, and think twice before acting."

After that, Guo Jia stared at Sima Ju, who was a little dazed as he wiped away his tears, and finally sighed lightly and left.

Seeing Guo Jia and the army go away, Sima Ju, who was riding on the horse, had been pondering Guo Jia's words, but he didn't come up with a reason for thinking about it for a long time.

I hope he will govern Patong County well, is this an encouragement or a rebuke?

Sima Ju didn't know.
