NO.254 Recuperation is imperative
If Pang Tong didn't mention it, Pang Shanmin didn't think about making a fuss about Jiangxia before, in Pang Shanmin's mind, Jiangxia's position was as embarrassing as Hanzhong, if he took Jiangxia, he would be heavily guarded, and he would always worry about Jiangdong's attack, but if he didn't take it, this Guan Yu and Zhao Yun were eyeing each other, sitting in Jiancheng, which was also a big deterrent to Jingxiang.
Perhaps this is Xu Shu's original intention, that is, to escape with Liu Bei, but also to be in Jingxiang, firmly control Jiangxia, in preparation for the future to mobilize troops, Pang Shanmin saw Pang Tong mention Jiangxia, his mind turned sharply, and said to Pang Tong: "If Shiyuan has a plan, you can do it all." ”
Pang Tong thought for a while, and said to Pang Shanmin: "That Guan Yu and Zhao Yun are all brave generals, if there is a chance to lead them to a battle on the river, Xingba should have a chance of winning." ”
Water war? Pang Shanmin sighed lightly when he heard this, and said to Pang Tong: "This matter will be discussed again." ”
Pang Tong was quite puzzled when he heard this, and said to Pang Shanmin: "Now Jiangxia is subordinate to Jingxiang, and there are many businessmen who come and go to Xiangyang, Jiangling and other places to deliver materials to them, if Xingba cuts off its waterway, it can lead the pass, and Zhao and the two go out of the city......"
"Pang doesn't want to act like this." Pang Shanmin shook his head and sighed when he heard this: "Pang thinks that it is better to stay Guan Yu and Zhao Yun in Jiangxia and deter Jiangdong." ”
Pang Tong thought for a moment when he heard this, and no longer persuaded him, now Liu Bei has not shown any traces, Guan and Zhao are afraid that they are more anxious than Pang Shanmin, Pang Shanmin feels that it is better to wait and see what happens, and then decide how to deal with Jiangxia's affairs when Liu Bei's movements are available.
Back in Xiangyang, after Pang Shanmin visited Liu Biao, he hurried to Changsha to meet his family.
Pang Shanmin ignored government affairs for a few days, but Pang Tong was quite resentful in his heart, and after a few days, Pang Tong saw that Pang Shanmin did nothing, so he went to the bamboo forest outside the city to find out.
Outside the bamboo house, Pang Tong did not see the scenery of Pang Shanmin playing in the flowers as he expected, but found Pang Shanmin alone in the study, crouching beside the desk, frowning and planning something......
Pang Tong was curious, pushed the door in, Pang Shanmin was not surprised to see Pang Tong coming to visit, and smiled at Pang Tong: "Shiyuan doesn't deal with Jingnan government affairs with Gongyan, why are you here?" ”
"Let's see if my brother has forgotten his ambition because he got Xichuan." Pang Tong said with a smile, "Brother is now considered to be a number of princes in the world, and he is in charge of the land of two states, haven't you thought about going further?" ”
When Pang Shanmin heard this, he shook his head and said, "It's not timely." ”
Successfully won Xichuan, Pang Shanmin was not carried away by the victory in front of him, this time he won the land of Xichuan, which was a lot of luck, if it were not for Fazheng, Zhang Song turned his back to the Lord to vote, Pang Shanmin is afraid that now he can't even understand the terrain of Xichuan, and Xichuan is attached, the biggest reason is that Liu Zhang is weak, if Xichuan was not Liu Zhang's master before, just change to a stronger lord, Pang Shanmin will not be so smooth to get the Sichuan land.
Staying in Chengdu is just that Pang Shanmin wants to keep Xichuan stable, Zhuge Liang is on the political road, quite accomplished, can be very good to regulate the relationship between the major families and courtiers in Xichuan, for Pang Shanmin, Xichuan can completely complete the stage of recuperation in Zhuge Liang's hands.
Although it only took a few months to occupy the entire territory of Xichuan, but if you want to completely control Xichuan, it is not something that can be done overnight, and this time Jingxiang army and horses entered Sichuan in a big way, which has a great impact on the lives of the local people.
Moreover, after bullying Liu Zhang, a soft persimmon, for the Pang Shanmin who held the land of the two states, he did not dare to rashly raise troops for a while.
The most important thing is that since Guo Jia took Runan, Jingxiang's forces have bordered the land under Cao Cao's jurisdiction, Cao Cao has stationed troops in Runan, and the enemy that Pang Shanmin can choose now, except for Cao Cao, is Sun Quan, these two princes, without being completely sure, Pang Shanmin did not dare to provoke them easily.
Don't look at most of Cao Cao's military horses have gone to Hebei, but its military horses in Chang'an, Runan, Xu Dutun, compared to Pang Shanmin's soldiers and horses in two states, not inferior, the world's first prince, is far from Pang Shanmin's turn to sit, Jingxiang's army is now slightly stronger than Jiangdong, but on the river, Pang Shanmin is quite jealous of the Jiangdong naval army, this geographical advantage, Sun Quan is the first to bear it, the danger of the river is like a natural barrier, separating Jingxiang and Jiangdong.
Pang Shanmin thought about it for a few days and came to the conclusion that he would consolidate his people and advantages, recuperate for a period of time, and then make plans after having the capital to compete with Cao Cao and Sun Quan.
Pang Shanmin knew everything in front of Pang Tong, and said everything, Pang Tong thought about it for a long time, and had to silently accept his brother's arrangement, in fact, Pang Tong has always wanted to be in the same vein as Yingchuan in his heart, and compete with him, Pang Tong has seen Guo Jia before, although he admires his talent, but Pang Tong has a very high spirit, and always feels that if he has the opportunity to compete with Guo Jia, Guo Jia may not be his opponent, but Pang Tong also knows that Pang Shanmin is now recuperating, and he is forced to do so.
Although Pang Shanmin's land in charge of the two states is vast, the soldiers and horses he can call are comparable to Jiangdong and Cao Cao, which is greatly inferior.
Thinking of this, Pang Tong couldn't help but say to Pang Shanmin: "In this way, it is imperative to recuperate, but has my brother ever thought about making some trouble for Cao Cao and Sun Quan in this world?" ”
"They're thankful that they don't bother their brothers." Pang Shanmin couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "This time I left Kong Ming in Xichuan, just because Kong Ming acted cautiously, and he could protect Yizhou and be foolproof, but Pang Mou could think that if everyone knows that Pang Mou has been in charge of the land for two weeks, then Cao Cao and Sun Quan, how can they follow Pang Mou's mind and allow Pang Mou to develop wantonly?" ”
When Pang Tong heard this, his eyes lit up and said: "That is, it can make Wen Chang and Zhongye recruit more military horses in Jingxiang in case of emergency." ”
Hearing this, Pang Shanmin nodded, and said: "Recruiting soldiers and horses is just one of them, what Pang thinks in his heart is more than that. ”
Pang Shanmin said that he pushed the bamboo paper on the case to Pang Tong, and smiled at Pang Tong: "Shi Yuan can take it to see, for my brother's plan, there are any omissions, Pang thinks that if this Cao Cao and Sun Quan do not come to provoke Pang, and then give Pang a certain year, Pang can completely control the land of the two states and compete with these two princes!" ”
When Pang Tong heard this, he was shocked, took Pang Shanmin and handed over the bamboo paper, and after a glance, he was quite puzzled: "Reform of official governance? ”
