On the way back to Xiakou Water Village, Gan Ning was very puzzled by Pang Shanmin's plea to answer Liu Bei's request, although Gan Ning didn't know what kind of entanglement Pang Shanmin had between Liu Bei, but he could also feel that Pang Shanmin seemed to be a little jealous of that Han emperor's uncle.

Now Gan Ning has only felt such jealousy twice from Pang Shanmin's body, once when he met Zhou Yu, and the second time when he saw this Liu Bei, but Gan Ning could feel that Pang Shanmin's fear of Liu Bei was far more than that of the famous Jiangdong Naval Governor.

"Shanmin, since you don't like Liu Bei, why do you need to help him?" Pang Shanmin didn't say anything along the way, and Gan Ning had to take the initiative to ask, Pang Tong saw Gan Ning's puzzled face, and said with a smile: "Brother's move is to make that Liu Biao even more jealous of this clan brother......

Seeing that Gan Ning frowned and was silent, Pang Shanmin smiled and said: "What Shiyuan said is exactly, even if I don't help Liu Bei mediate, this Jiangxia will also be obtained by Liu Bei, I thought about it for a long time, and felt that Liu Bei won Jiangxia, and then he would have a place to live, but he could develop slowly, so he wanted to make a hindrance from it, and not let that Liu Bei get what he wanted, but now that Jiangdong and Jingxiang are fighting, I think that Liu Bei will take over this Jiangxia town now, which is harmful and unprofitable." ”

"It's just that I didn't expect that Yuanzhi actually instigated Liu Bei to guard Jiangxia......" Pang Tong sighed slightly when he heard this, "With Yuanzhi's wisdom, it is not difficult to imagine that Jiangxia has now become the target of public criticism." ”

"How Yuan Zhi plots, the key depends on Liu Bei."

Pang Shanmin sighed slightly: "Looking back on the life of this imperial uncle, it is not difficult to find that since the Yellow Turban Uprising, he has lived a life of exile, such an experience often makes his desire for land higher than ordinary people, and now he has Runan first, and then he has the opportunity to plot Jiangxia, how can Liu Bei let it go?" ”

"But Runan is adjacent to Yingchuan, but the army is always forcing Xudu, Cao Cao will clean up Yuan Shao, and will inevitably return to the army to clear the hidden dangers under the rule of Runan, that Jiangxia is the gateway to Jingxiang, Jiangdong military horses or out of the Lujiang River, or out of Chaisang, can be attacked, Liu Bei chose this place as its foundation, it is very unwise!" After Pang Tong said that, Gan Ning suddenly realized and said to Pang Shanmin: "It turns out that you kid is yin against him!" ”

"It's not a conspiracy, it's just fulfilling the thoughts of this imperial uncle." Pang Shanmin smiled indifferently and said to Gan Ning: "Maybe Uncle Liu Huang can really use this as a foundation to do something great in this troubled world." ”

Hearing this, Pang Tong smiled and said, "Brother really looks up to that Liu Bei." ”

Pang Shanmin shook his head when he heard this, and said: "Shiyuan, don't get carried away, when you think of that Huang Zu and guarding Jiangxia, who would have thought that he would be treacherous in Jiangdong?" This time Xingba and that Jiangdong had a water battle, even if it was won, it was mostly a fluke, for my brother to think, you and I are planning together, there is still a lot of lacking, as for that Liu Bei, in the end, whether he can keep this foundation, in addition to seeing how Yuan Zhi plans, it depends on the luck of this Han emperor's uncle, it is too early to make a conclusion. ”

When Pang Tong heard this, he restrained his smile, nodded, and said to Pang Shanmin: "What my brother said is very true, but what about Liu Bei, I can leave it alone for the time being, but this Jiangdong water array, but it has its extraordinary, if you meet Jiangdong on the river again in the future, then Zhou Lang must also have a way to break my light boat formation, we still need to make plans early, and today's Jingnan and Jiangdong are not ...... than in the past."

"If it dares to enter my Changsha waterway, it will be called back and forth." After Gan Ning said that, Pang Shanmin and Pang Tong both laughed, but Pang Shanmin sighed slightly: "Now that I have a bad relationship with Jiangdong, I am afraid that the book and paper business with Jiangdong will also be affected." ”

"You've earned the Jiangdong Navy and several fighting ships, what do you care about your money?" Gan Ning smiled when he heard this: "If you don't buy it, aren't there other princes who are rushing to it?" ”

Pang Shanmin heard this, smiled slightly, but thought in his heart, this paper seller Jiangdong, in addition to making money, Pang Shanmin also wants to slowly encroach on the wealth of the Jiangdong family, Jiangdong if you want to conquer Jingxiang, you must have a lot of wealth, grain and grass, before you can raise military horses, now Pang Shanmin's bamboo paper, classic book trading, although every time you make a lot of profits, but it has little impact on Jiangdong's finances, but if it goes on for so long, even if Jiangdong is rich, I am afraid it will not be able to support.

In this troubled world, the role of money and food is undoubtedly much greater than that of paper and classics, but today's Jiangdong families still don't seem to understand this cruel truth.

The three of them returned to the water village, and then took the Changsha water army, embarked on the return journey, as for the Jiangling water army, Gan Ning ordered it to garrison Xiakou, guarding Jiangdong, now Zhou Yu is defeated, but Gan Ning has known that his people are powerful, and he does not dare to relax the defense of this Xiakou.

As soon as the ship arrived in Changsha, a soldier came to Shuizhai to report that Lusu in the east of the river had been waiting in Changsha for several days. ”

"Whoever comes to Changsha will always be harmed by his brother." Pang Tong said, Gan Ning, Pang Shanmin both laughed, think about it, Lu Su was originally an honest gentleman, but now he has been repeatedly calculated, this Pang Shanmin is clearly bullying honest people......

But this time Lu Su is coming, Pang Shanmin can't figure out what his intentions are, now Jingnan has been at odds with Jiangdong, then Zhou Yu even if Sun Ce was a close friend before his death, he will also be punished by Sun Quan, if Lu Su comes, just to vent his frustration, it is understandable, but Pang Shanmin thought again, that Jiangdong family, this bamboo paper classics, highly respected, if Lu Su this time to Changsha, want to continue to trade with Jingnan, it is not impossible.

"Anyway, let's talk about everything when we see Zijing." Pang Shanmin said, then took the reins handed by the soldiers, turned over on the horse, and went all the way to the dust, Pang Tong was beside Gan Ning, and said with a smile: "Xingba, look, my brother went to pit that honest man again......

When Gan Ning heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and said to Pang Tong: "Go with him, if Jiangdong dares to have an opinion, there will be my Changsha Water Army." ”

Running all the way back to the Taishou Mansion, Pang Shanmin saw Jiang Wan greeted him with a bitter face, although Jiang Wan knew that the battle of Jiangxia and the defeat of Jiangdong, but he didn't expect that as soon as Lu Su came to Changsha, he would be in his Taishou Mansion every day, and scolded Jing Nan for his treachery, Jiang Wan didn't know the details, and there was no way to refute it, and now he was reprimanded by Na Lu Su for three days, seeing that Jiang Wan had not refuted a word, Lu Su scolded for three days, and his mind calmed down slightly, at least the battle of Jiangxia had nothing to do with this Jiang Wan.

So Lu Su returned to the post house, waiting for Pang Shanmin to return, and wanted to ask Pang Shanmin for an explanation.

After hearing Jiang Wan's complaints, Pang Shanmin sighed for a while, it seems that the days of Lu Su in Jiangdong are not easy, and the good words soothed Jiang Wan, Pang Shanmin shook his head and sighed: "Zijing, although you are an honest gentleman, who called Zhou Yu my Jingxiang's confidant?" It makes you anxious, it's really not Pang Mou's intention, and you should be responsible for Jiangdong Zhoulang! ”
