"Is this how Uncle Huang recruits? In this way, I can't afford it. ”

Pang Tong glanced at the two soldiers on the left and right, crossed his hands and looked at the soles of his feet, his intentions were self-evident, the generals of the Sichuan army around him, Lei Tong and Shamoke, were so powerful, and their faces were gloomy.

"Someone."

Liu Zhang's face did not change, waved away the two soldiers who were holding Pang Tong, and pointed to the position at the bottom right of him: "Look at the seat." ”

"Yes."

The soldier added a seat on the upper steps, and Pang Tong shook his robe and sat down slowly, his palm fanning the space outside his chest.

Liu Zhang frowned leisurely, took a breath of cold air, Fa Zheng secretly looked at him, Liu Zhang knew what Fa Zheng meant, and he wanted to bear with it for the time being, throughout the history books, the great sages were all lowly and begging, but this Pang Tong was so rebellious, repeatedly provoked, and regarded everyone as nothing, is it really worth treating him so politely?

Liu Zhang supported his forehead with his hand, trying to suppress the antipathy towards Pang Tong in his heart.

At this moment, a soldier came from outside to report: "Report to the lord, just reported from the horse, the city wall of the southwest city of ancient Xiangyang collapsed, and Xu Shu is urgently sending someone to repair it." ”

The generals looked at each other and discussed, Liu Zhang suddenly raised his head to look at Pang Tong, Fa Zheng also flashed a different color, Liu Zhang and Fa Zheng suddenly understood the true intention of Pang Tong's original advice.

Pang Tong called the Sichuan army to send troops to the southwest city of ancient Xiangyang, not to take advantage of Xu Shu's lax defense to take the city defense, but to wait for the heavy rain to collapse the city wall, and the front was simply a flat river.

Pang Tong raised his eyelids and glanced at Liu Zhang, who was in a high position, and his eyes flashed with an unconcealed frivolity, as if he was left alone in the entire lobby, and his folds were shining.

"You expected that?" Liu Zhang asked.

Pang Tong raised his head, flicked the sleeves of his robe, and said disapprerovitically: "What's so difficult about this, I told Uncle Huang a long time ago, what city to attack in other states, I, Pang Tong, still have to blink my eyes, attack the city of Jingzhou, haha, I don't need to raise my eyelids."

After the ancient Xiangyang was abandoned, Liu Biao originally allocated a lot of money to transform it into a military base, but the Cai family in charge of this matter, in order to intercept more money, the southwest city of ancient Xiangyang leaned against the mountain, because not many people paid attention, neither rebuilt nor repaired.

This year, the rain of the change of seasons is too intense, and before giving advice to Uncle Huang, I have taken the opportunity of General Gao to see the enemy and carefully observe the city wall, and if there is another heavy rain, the city wall will definitely collapse.

It's a pity, there is no gold and no one is perfect, I Pang Tong is still negligent, I calculated that there was heavy rain, but I didn't expect the heavy rain to be so violent, I said that it will collapse tomorrow, but I didn't expect it to collapse tonight.

Two days ago, when observing the sky, the wind and clouds were unpredictable, if the emperor uncle did not put the mere in the firewood room today, and was willing to listen to Pang Tongtong's words, it would not be too late to make adjustments.

It's a pity that Uncle Huang's ability to recognize people is really flattering, the Golden Phoenix has become a big rooster, and now if he wants to go to Xiangyang, Xu Shu must guard the various mountain passes before the city wall is repaired, and the rainstorm is falling rapidly, and the Uncle Huang has no chance. ”

After Pang Tong finished speaking, he shook his head and sighed, he had a big face, he didn't listen to the phoenix, and he suffered a loss in front of him.

"Come on, take a look."

Liu Zhang shouted loudly, stared at Pang Tong and said: "Shiyuan, although the official missed an opportunity, but with Shiyuan here, the capture of Xiangyang, the official still has many chances, right?" ”

"Uncle Huang's vision is too short-sighted." Pang Tong said loudly: "Little Xiangyang is just a small gift from Pang Tong to the imperial uncle, and it can be regarded as showing my Pang Tong's determination to join the imperial uncle, I Pang Tong was born in the Jingxiang Pang family, and I am afraid that you all have doubts about taking refuge in the imperial uncle, but after capturing Xiangyang, your doubts should be dispelled, and what I want to plan for the imperial uncle is the whole world." ”

Pang Tong was impassioned, the soldier brought a table and put it in front of Pang Tong, Pang Tong had a satisfied look on his face, put his wrist on the table, and gently knocked three times with his five fingers.

Liu Zhang's brows furrowed, and he immediately stretched out, and asked slowly: "Shiyuan, it's midnight now, I'm afraid it's early to have breakfast at this time." ”

Pang Tong grinned and said: "Hahaha, the imperial uncle was born in the imperial family, how can I not know that Gao Peng Yashi sits opposite each other, and must be accompanied by fine wine, my Pang Tong will get carried away when he drinks, and there are important things to talk about tonight, so this wine, for the time being, it is exempt, but tea, there must be a cup." ”

"I see you getting carried away without drinking."

Lei Tong scolded softly on the side, but he didn't expect to be heard by Pang Yuan, Pang Tong laughed a few times: "The reckless man doesn't know the elegance of cooking tea, I Pang Tong will not deal with rough people, I think I Pang Tong is full of talent, since I want to sit with the emperor uncle to discuss the general trend of the world, how can I talk about one-tenth of the whole night without talking about all-night?" ”

Pang Tong glanced at Lei Tong's broken arm, and said in a deep voice: "The general's hand was lost in Caisangpo, Xu Shu is a small plan, and all the gentlemen in the hall are blind, it's really a pity, if I Pang Tong is here, how can the general be a general with a broken arm."

Generals weren't born with a knife in their left hand, right? The big knife needs both hands, and the general has lost his right arm, and I'm afraid he will become a waste in the future. ”

"What did you say?"

Lei Tong was furious, since the loss of his right arm, he hated others to mention this in front of him, Lei Tong asked himself, even if he lost his right arm, he was worthy of the position of general, after the battle of Caisangpo, he led the army to march to Xiangyang after only three days of wounds, Xiangyang several siege battles are fighting bravely, in order to avenge the defeat of the day, the wound of the broken arm has broken many times, soaked in rain, and has been infected and suppurated.

Now all this is described by Pang Tong as a waste, how can Lei Tong swallow this breath, Lei Tong stood at the bottom of the steps, closest to Pang Tong, Lei Tong pushed out, thinking that Pang Tong was a scholar, where could he withstand Lei Tong's push, and immediately rolled to the ground with a few cases.

At this time, many generals applauded in their hearts, Pang Tong's sentence "all the gentlemen in the hall are blind", it can be said that the entire Sichuan army has been insulted by the civil and military, and they dare not say it blatantly.

Even Liu Zhang, who was expressionless, felt a little relieved.

"Uncle Huang, is this how you restrain your subordinates?"

Pang Tong got up from the ground, tidied up the clothes on his body, and questioned Liu Zhang loudly, Liu Zhang hurriedly said: "Shi Yuan don't be angry, Shi Yuan don't be angry, Lei Tong is a rough man, why should you bother with him, this official is here to compensate for him." ”

"How can it be?" Pang Tong obviously didn't buy it, and flicked the sleeves of his robe and said: "If the imperial uncle is perfunctory like this, it will not be necessary to chill the heart of the wise man, and since the imperial uncle attaches great importance to reckless men and emphasizes martial arts over literature, then Pang Tong will not be able to talk about any major matters with the imperial uncle, so he will leave." ”

Pang Tong said that he was about to leave, Fa Zheng glanced at Liu Zhang, at this moment, Liu Zhang really wanted Pang Tong to just leave, but seeing Fa Zheng's anxious expression, and thinking of the predicament that the Sichuan army would face in the future and Pang Tong's talent, for his own ideals, in order to reduce the number of deaths, he was cross-minded.

Liu Zhang stood up from his seat and shouted repeatedly: "Shiyuan stays, Shiyuan stays." ”

Pang Tong stopped, his back to Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang sighed and said with remorse: "I finally understand why the previous war was fought so hard, it is because there are only military generals, there is no great sage like Shi Yuan, Shi Yuan stays, and we continue to discuss major matters." ”

Pang Tong didn't look back, and Liu Zhang said to Lei Tong: "General Lei, why don't you make amends to Mr. soon?" ”

Lei Tong's face turned red and did not move.

"Why don't you go soon?" Liu Zhang's voice became louder, and the generals were silent, their anger at this time was probably comparable to Lei Tong, Zhang Ren, who had been looking as usual, tightened his right hand, and the scabbard rubbed against the hilt, making a crisp "click" sound in the silent hall.

Lei Tong's chest fell together, and after a long time, he stepped out, patted his chest with one hand, and made a salute behind Pang Tong, his speech was clear, and his voice was loud: "Sir, I'm sorry." ”

After saying five words, word by word, Lei Tong snorted heavily, strode out of the hall, did not look at anyone, and his grief and hatred melted into every sonorous and powerful footsteps.

Liu Zhang's hand behind his back trembled, the struggling movements in the corners of his eyes flashed, a wave of anger welled up on his face, and he said loudly: "It's too unusual, it's against him, Zhang Ren, turn around and pass on his life, confine Lei Tong for three days, and let him think about himself." ”

"Yes." Zhang Ren responded calmly.

"Shiyuan, let's continue, come here, serve tea."

Pang Tong reluctantly sat down again, and Liu Zhang returned to the main seat after Pang Tong sat down.

………… Liu Zhang's kitchen and his own soldiers were in a room not far from the hall, and the cooks fell asleep in the middle of the night, Xiao Furong saw that Liu Zhang was still discussing matters, and she couldn't sleep, so she got up and asked Sang Ye to learn to make goat milk tea, and Sang Ye patiently talked about the details of making tea.

Just then, a soldier came to the kitchen to prepare tea.

"What kind of tea do you drink in the middle of the night?" Xiao Furong said strangely.

Sang Ye said to the soldiers: "The soldiers who cook have already slept, they have to get up early tomorrow to make breakfast, it's very hard, can't the tea be served during the day?" ”

The soldier was embarrassed and said, "The gentleman said that he would not drink tea made in plain water, but tea cooked freshly." ”

Xiao Furong and Sang Ye glanced at the dark rain curtain outside, and looked at each other, "What kind of weird person is this, I want to drink freshly cooked tea in the middle of the night." ”

"Or else." Xiao Furong's eyes suddenly lit up and said, "I won't trouble those soldiers tonight, anyway, I'll drink alone, let's cook for him." ”

"Is that good?" Sang Ye hesitated.

"It's okay, I'll taste it first this time and then serve it out, if it doesn't taste good, I'll serve my sister's, then Mr. must have nothing to say." After Xiao Furong finished speaking, she waved the soldiers back, rolled up her sleeves and started drying.

…… In the hall, Liu Zhang frowned and said to Pang Tong: "Sir, this official still doesn't understand, why did Mr. join our army, does Mr. Pang Degong know about joining our army?" Or do my husband's relatives and old friends know? ”

Pang Tong laughed: "Uncle Huang, can you let Pang Tong guess why Uncle Huang is harsh on the world?" ”

Liu Zhang was stunned for a moment and said, "Sir, try to say it." ”

Pang Tong said: "This is not a secret, in fact, the disaster of the family, has been going on for a long time, the family colludes with friends, everything is based on the interests of the family, if anyone offends the core interests of the family, land, official canals, it is against the whole family, and against a family, it is against all the family systems that have in-laws or dealings with the family, and the measures of the imperial uncle in Jiangzhou and other places are tantamount to being enemies of the world clan.

This kind of result has led to the Shi clan controlling everything, land, official positions, and even the entire Han world, as the face of the emperor's uncle, I dare to boldly say an offensive word, the current Han Sheji, in fact, is the Sheji of the Shi clan.

Not to mention that the Hanmen and Shu people hate this system, even some people of insight in the world are also dissatisfied with the current system, the world is like a cancer, slowly eroding the world, but if anyone touches this tumor, he will be injured at least and killed at worst, and the court will tolerate it. The cold family is subservient, this is the reason why the family is proud to continue.

Everything must be reversed, I Pang Tong dare to assert that with the development of the times, after the heyday, the family will go into decline, but it should not be now, the emperor uncle is going against the sky, there are many difficulties ahead, if there is no genius from heaven to assist the emperor, Pang Tong also dares to boldly say that the emperor will be defeated, and the princes in the hall will either become the dry bones of the loess, or serve the other princes. ”

"So, you're the genius from the sky?" It was so powerful that his nose snorted, and he was extremely disdainful, Liu Zhang turned his head and scolded him.

Pang Tong laughed, waved his hand again and again, and said: "This short general is wrong, I, Pang Tong, was not born to fight against some wealthy family, it has nothing to do with me, I Pang Tong just want to achieve a great cause."

Don't hide it from Uncle Huang, before I went to Jiangling to join General Gao Pei, my uncle Pang Degong, Sima Hui and Zhuge Ci instructed me and Xu Shu, as well as Zhuge Kongming, another great sage in Jingxiang, to help Liu Biao together, but Zhuge Liang directly refused, I couldn't stand my uncle's kindness, so I agreed to go to the Sichuan army to do internal response, and only Xu Shu agreed to serve Liu Biao.

But Liu Biao is incompetent, who am I Pang Tong? Can Ann serve him? Since Jiangling, I have been observing what Uncle Huang did, Uncle Huang is calm and resolute, vigorous and resolute, it is the lord that my Pang Tong is looking for day and night, and Uncle Huang's courage to challenge the world is what I Pang Tong appreciates.

As the saying goes, geniuses are easy to get, but the master is hard to find, I have just said that the family is connected, and the children of the family are all centered on the family, which is the way to take trouble, how can I Pang Tong miss the great opportunity to make contributions for the family, so I handed over the letter to Huang Yueying today and asked her to bring it to her uncle, just to show that I Pang Tong is not a family puppet, and I will definitely build a meritorious career and become famous in history. ”

"Shi Yuan should know that the pen of the clan is like a knife, if you pursue merit and fame, and break away from the family, aren't you afraid that they will ruin your reputation?" Liu Zhang only now understands that sentence: unpredictable, unpredictable blessings and misfortunes. What is the meaning.

Pang Tong shook his hands and laughed, and said disapprerovingly: "Uncle Huang knows that the pen of the clan is like a knife, doesn't he know that he will become a king and lose a king?" If I can assist Uncle Huang to achieve great things, those weak clans can only prostrate at my feet, and if I defeat the army and live and die, I can only blame me for being sparse and ugly, and who will complain about the stench for thousands of years? ”
