NO.56 Liu Bei to Runan
After this incident, Guan Yu's attitude towards Pang Shanmin has become far less enthusiastic than before, but Pang Shanmin is not angry, and still talks and laughs with Ling'er, for Pang Shanmin, he is too lazy to pay attention to Guan Yu's mood.
With a way to deal with the displaced people, the Pang family caravan also became busy on the way to Runan, but whenever they met villages and towns, Pang Shanmin would buy a batch of grain and rice, hoard in the convoy, and then encountered several waves of displaced people, in addition to dismissing most of the displaced people to Jingnan, the size of the convoy gradually expanded.
"It's just that the armor is lacking."
Walking for a few days, it was only a hundred miles away from Runan County, and after glancing at the new army of more than 100 people behind him, Pang Shanmin couldn't help but sigh, no wonder Guan Yu didn't look down on them at first.
The new army is all composed of displaced people, although the displaced people can eat and drink enough these days, their weak bodies can not be raised for a while, and the displaced people have no armor, and the weapons in their hands are mostly iron guns and wooden sticks left over from before.
In the face of such a situation, Pang Shanmin was not discouraged, but he also saved the lives of these people, if Guan Yu didn't want it, they would all be brought back to Jingnan, more than 100 people, although they consumed a lot of grain and rice, but when they were strong and healthy, they might not be able to do a career.
It's just that what Pang Shanmin didn't expect was that Guan Yu actually took the initiative to come to his tent for the sake of these more than 100 homeless people and talked about the previous things.
"I'll take charge of these recruits."
Guan Yu's tone was indifferent, making Pang Shanmin unable to figure out what he was thinking, Pang Shanmin was slightly stunned, and chuckled: "Doesn't General Guan think that these homeless people are weak?" ”
"You can still practice it...... Guan Yu sighed lightly, and changed his words: "My brother used to say that you should be kind to the people, you are so similar to him, why don't you listen to me?" ”
"How dare you compare with Uncle Huang." When Pang Shanmin heard this, he shook his head, "General Guan has invited him several times, and he knows that the general is very sincere, but he is lazy and lazy, and I am afraid that he will not be loved by the general." ”
"Lazy?" When Guan Yu heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and his voice was eager: "In Cao Cao's army, Guo Jia, who sacrifices wine, is also lazy!" If you are willing to help my brother, I will guarantee that you will be in my brother's army in the future, like that Guo Jia, and have the right to decide, but you can say anything! ”
"The general really looks up to me, I'm not as good as Guo Sai wine......" Pang Shanmin smiled bitterly, and said to Guan Yu: "Don't mention this matter again, the general doesn't know how to march and fight, soldiers and horses are in battle, just a scholar who has no power to restrain chickens, if he is in the emperor's army, what can he help the emperor?" ”
Guan Yu hesitated for a long time when he heard this, and then said in his mouth: "You can raise soldiers and horses, aren't you also well settled these homeless people?" ”
Seeing Pang Shanmin crying and laughing, Guan Yu knew that he was speechless, and he was speechless for a long time, looking at Guan Yu's lonely appearance, Pang Shanmin put away his smile and sighed secretly in his heart.
"General, listen to me." Pang Shanmin sighed slightly, and said to Guan Yu: "The general has been persuaded three times, if possible, with the admiration of the general, he has already agreed to the general's request, but he knows that his skills are slight, if he governs a county, he may be able to barely do it, but if he wants to follow the emperor's uncle to the Central Plains, he is really not enough." ”
Guan Yu nodded, Pang Shanmin came with him all the way, and did not show the ability to lead the army, but Guan Yu faintly felt that if Pang Shanmin was willing to submit to his brother, it would be of great use.
Is it just a delusion?
Guan Yu sighed and said to Pang Shanmin: "If my brother and I occupy Runan, will my son be willing to help my brother govern the county?" ”
"Uncle Huang can't occupy Runan!"
Pang Shanmin shook his head and said: "The place of the four battles in Runan is not the place where the emperor's uncle lives and lives, then Cao Cao has now listed the emperor's uncle as a major trouble, if the emperor's uncle occupies Runan, he will send soldiers and horses to kill!" ”
"Cao Cao has Yuan Shao to contain him!" Guan Yu wanted to refute, but saw Pang Shanmin smiling and silent, and said with a puzzled expression: "Could it be that I said something wrong?" ”
"In Cao Cao's heart, Uncle Huang is more fearful than Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao only sent a brigade of soldiers and horses, how can Uncle Huang resist? The general has also seen that I am equal to the soldiers recruited by Runan, what is the situation, these soldiers and horses like wanderers, are they comparable to the army of a hundred battles in Cao's camp? Pang Shanmin said, didn't want to say more, Guan Yu frowned and thought for a moment, suddenly realized, pointed at Pang Shanmin and said: "I understand!" ”
Seeing Guan Yu's happy face, Pang Shanmin was puzzled, but Guan Yu laughed and said, "You scholar, you are still bullying me!" You not only know how to govern counties, but also understand the general trend of the world! ”
Pang Shanmin's face remained unchanged, and he smiled calmly: "The general trend is just guessing, in today's world, how many people dare to say that they understand the general trend of the world?" In the following words, now the general and I, just waiting to see Uncle Huang, it is time to separate. ”
Guan Yu nodded, but his face was happy, and he said in his heart that even if he couldn't say anything about him, he would wait for his brother to come and say that he was, and that Mi Zhu, Jian Yong, should also be in the same place with his brother, as long as Pang Shanmin saw his brother, and everyone worked together, they would not be afraid of him running away.
Maybe we will have the opportunity to work together in the future.
Thinking of this, the depression in Guan Yu's heart for a few days dissipated, and the gaze that looked at Pang Shanmin also returned to the same eagerness as before.
Now there is no news of Liu Bei, the caravan is convenient to hide in the mountains thirty miles outside Runan City, Pang Shanmin and Ling'er have also changed their outfits, and went to Runan City to investigate, Runan under the rule of Liu Pigong Du, full of devastation, ten rooms and nine empty in the city, the former important town of Yuzhou, now it is dilapidated.
In the past few days, Guan Yu no longer lobbied Pang Shanmin to join Liu Bei all day long as in the past, but trained his soldiers with peace of mind, and now they have left Xu Capital for more than a month.
It's just that as the days go by, Pang Shanmin's heart gradually becomes anxious, and now in Runan City, there is no news of Liu Bei, and Liu Qi's seals are all in Pang Shanmin's bag, for a red rabbit and delay the time in Runan, now it seems that it is not a wise move, Pang Shanmin, who is depressed in his heart, will go to the stable from time to time to find Chitu to complain, and relieve the depression in his chest, but Chitu does not know what Pang Shanmin thinks in his heart, and this guy is becoming more and more familiar.
"Mr. Mountain People! General Guan! ”
On the mountain road, riding a light horse, galloping, immediately shouting the person, it is Guan Yu's corporal, the soldier saw Pang Shanmin standing on the side of the road, hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and said to Pang Shanmin: "Runan City changed flags yesterday, and now it is full of 'Liu' word banners, and it has been inquired in the city below, and the emperor has arrived in Runan early in the morning!" ”
