Chapter 403: Lu Bu and Pang Tong talk

Jia Xu entered the tent just to look at Pang Tongyi's eyes, and even if he asked Lu Bu to resign and return the account, he slowly left the Chinese army's tent with Xu Shu's support, leaving only Lu Bu and Pang Tong, after the two left, Lu Bu looked Pang Tong's fan up and down, leaned against the pillar behind the tent, and said to Pang Tong slowly: "What does Shiyuan think about the trend of the world?" ”

Although this topic is very old, Lu Bu feels that only this topic can test whether Pang Tong is capable, Pang Tong hung his head and seemed to be asleep, and when he heard Lu Bu speak, he quickly raised his head and explained embarrassedly: "The weather is too hot, I can't sit patiently, and I fell asleep inexplicably, Wen Hou, what did you just say?" ”

Lu Bu shook his head helplessly, if it was according to his previous temperament, he would have arrested Pang Tong and dismantled it a long time ago, but unfortunately his former temperament had already flown into the sky like cigarette ashes, and the smoke disappeared, he repeated the question, Pang Tong wiped his saliva with his cuffs, and smiled: "Now what is the general trend of the world, the north has been pacified by Cao Cao, and the west has become Wen Hou's bag, only this south is still intertwined with several forces, but it is a matter of time before it is destroyed!" ”

After Pang Tong finished speaking, his eyes were attracted by the fruits on the table, and he saw all kinds of delicacies and fine wines on the dining table, among which there were several bunches of watery grapes, Pang Tong carried one of them and asked Lu Bu: "Wen Hou, may I ask what this is?" ”

Lu Budao: "Shiyuan is in Jingzhou, hasn't he even eaten grapes?" ”

In the camp of Bingzhou, all the generals have a soft spot for grapes, which are not only delicious, but also have the effect of cooling and relieving the heat, so every time he goes out, Lu Bu will bring some more or less.

Pang Tong said: "Since Emperor Ling, the world has been in turmoil, successively Luoyang is in chaos, Chang'an is drifting, the worst time, the minister starved to death between the strong, the soldiers plundered and cannibalized, how can there be any opportunity to eat what fresh fruit?" ”

Lu Bu's eyes were a little complicated, whether it was Luoyang or Chang'an. He was directly or indirectly involved, and he didn't know if Pang Tong was blaming himself for saying this, so he kept silent and didn't say anything at the moment. Silently grabbed a few cloves of oranges and threw them into his mouth, and suddenly a sour and sweet taste swept through his mouth, and his spiritual qi recovered a little.

Pang Tong first tasted one with a swallowing date, and then picked up another one, pinched it with his fingers and looked at it for a while. sighed: "As far as I know, grapes are produced in the Western Regions, the Western Regions and the Central Plains traffic is decided, and there are bandits along the way, some people are afraid that this thing will be difficult to eat for a few years, Wenhou can actually eat it as a meal, and the cost must be unreasonable!" ”

Lu Bu put down the Huai Tang in his hand and looked at Pang Tong with a playful look: "You mean that I am so extravagant and enjoyable, not a person who has achieved great things?" ”

Pang Tong didn't speak, and he acquiesced to Lu Bu's words.

Lu Bu smiled. Learning Pang Tong's movements, he pinched a grape and looked at it carefully, and at the same time explained: "Shiyuan didn't know, as early as when Bowanghou chiseled the Western Regions, he brought back a lot of grape seeds, which had already been planted in Longxi, and the bandits on the front line of Liangzhou had already been jointly eliminated by me and Ma Teng, and the Silk Road had already been opened up again, and this grape was also brought from the Western Regions by me, and the Western Liang at this time." Grapes have long been planted all over the land, and both officials and ordinary people eat grapes as food at home! ”

Lu Bu didn't want to dwell on this issue anymore, so he asked Pang Tong at the moment: "Shiyuan." What do you think of Cao Cao's situation today? Is it good or bad? Who wins and who loses when I fight him? ”

Although Pang Tong wronged Lu Bu, he didn't feel uncomfortable, and when he heard Lu Bu ask a few questions in a row, he smiled and said: "In Liangzhou today, there are two forces, Ma Teng and Wen Hou, in order to stabilize the left wing. Cao Cao sent Si Li's lieutenant Zhong Xuan, holding the troops in the Guanzhong, Zhong Xuan worked hard for many years but did not achieve results, if Wenhou and Cao Cao were at war, from Chang'an, Tongguan line to kill, but..."

"Just what?" Lu Bu asked eagerly.

"Yuan Cao's battle of Guandu has ended, and the opportunity has long been lost!"

"What chance" Lu Bu was a little confused.

"If Marquis Wen had led his troops from Chang'an and Tongguan to the front line early in the battle of Yuan Cao, Cao Cao would have been attacked on both sides, and I didn't dare to think about the result" Pang Tong shook his head.

Lu Bu once had this idea, but he was a little worried, although there was no Cao Cao, but there was also Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao had more than 600,000 mercenaries, which was even more terrifying than Cao Cao, Lu Bu did not have the courage to fight with Yuan Shao now, Pang Tong seemed to see Lu Bu's troubles, and chuckled: "Yuan Shao, this person is not enough to be afraid, the battle of Guandu is the best proof, Cao Cao defeated his 600,000 with 100,000 people, does Wen Hou think that he can't compare to Cao Cao, then if this is the case, I will persuade Wen Hou to surrender early!" ”

Lu Bu smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect Yuan Shao to be so stupid, 600,000 can't beat 100,000, so I regret it now, now that Cao Cao's opinion has pacified the north, I'm afraid the next step is Jingzhou, so I want to quickly defeat Yizhou and break my wrist with Cao Cao in the land of Jingzhou." ”

Pang Tong said: "Wen Hou means a decisive battle with Cao Cao in Jingzhou? ”

Lu Bu didn't speak, just nodded firmly.

Pang Tong stroked his short hair: "Liu Biao is a very special thing, he has more than 200,000 elite soldiers and Jingzhou's anointed land, but unusually quiet, after Yuan Cao started the war, Liu Biao's attitude has been ambiguous, he promised Yuan Shao to cooperate, but the troops did not move, Jingzhou engaged in Han Song to persuade Liu Biao to join Cao Cao, but was almost killed, in short, no one can figure out Liu Biao's thoughts, the world has been rumored, saying that Liu Biao beat Bian Zhuangzi's attention, planning to wait for the two tigers to die and one wounded, and then make a profit! ”

Pang Tong flicked away a buzzing fly on the table: "Although the Han family is declining, but Yu Wei is still from it, Jingzhou to the Central Plains is not far away, if I am Liu Biao, I will never miss the opportunity, I will definitely raise the strength of the whole state to march to the Central Plains, Jingzhou soldiers can easily advance to Xudu, and then support the Han Emperor in the name of the Han Emperor, it is not impossible to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty, but unfortunately his heart has long been absent from the Han Dynasty." ”

Pang Tong turned his neck, and his elegant fingers flexibly tapped the wooden wall: "If Wen Hou wants to fight Cao Cao, Wancheng, Chang'an, and Tongguan are very important, and Wen Hou also needs to pay attention to Jiangdong Sun Quan and Xiliang Ma Teng, no matter which side intervenes from the middle, it will have a crucial impact on the battle situation, and it will even change the scale of victory." ”

Lu Bu glanced at him unexpectedly: "At that time, the plan of me and the military division was to level Jingzhou and Jiangdong, and then fight with Cao Cao in the Huainan area, but now things have backfired, there is no ten years that cannot complete this plan, but Cao Cao does not wait for me, and the world does not wait for me!" ”

Pang Tong said calmly: "Yes, Jingzhou is easy to take, Jiangdong is not easy, after Jingzhou is laid, the world will inevitably become a three-legged stand, or add one foot!" ”

Lu Bu heard Pang Tong's deliberate point, in ancient times, Dayu had three legs, what he meant was that after Jingzhou was divided, the world would present the existence of Lu Bu, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan, but whether there would be an accident in it, he couldn't speculate.

"Four-legged?" Lu Bu asked curiously.

Pang Tong tilted his head and thought for a while, and counted with his fingers: "Wen Hou, Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and there is one ....... I don't want to say."

Lu Bu's eyelids raised, and in an instant, he showed a sharp edge: "I want you to say!" ”

Pang Tong was silent for a moment and smiled: "I don't know if he can succeed, but I feel that he is a person who does great things, and he is also the emperor of the Han family, but now he is a little embarrassed, I heard that he has now become Liu Biao's guest!" ”

Lu Bu clenched his fists, his knuckles crackling: "You are talking about Liu Bei?" ”

Pang Tong nodded: "Since the emergence of the Tiger Prison Pass, he has been among the princes left and right, falling and displaced, such a talent will be loved by the times, will be accepted by the troubled times, he may also become a strong enemy of Wen Hou, and the danger is even greater than Sun Quan!" ”

Lu Bu remembered the cause and effect of his previous life, and a cold glint burst out in his eyes: "I'll ask you a question at the end, how can I fight Chengdu?" He suddenly changed his attention, he didn't want to besiege and attack anymore, and now he heard that the enemy was hiding in Jingzhou, Lu Bu wanted to take Chengdu as soon as possible, recuperate for three or five years, and then send troops to Jingzhou, and Liu Bei's new hatred and old hatred were counted together.

Pang Tong was also taken aback by Lu Bu's killing intent, and hurriedly put the Confucian shirt on his body at the moment, feeling the warmth coming from his body again, he said slowly: "Hatred will make people sluggish, and their intelligence will also decline!" ”

The murderous aura in Lu Bu's eyes disappeared, he held the table with one hand and pointed at Pang Tong with the other: "I don't want to listen to your nonsense, give me an accurate answer quickly!" ”

Pang Tong spread his hands helplessly: "Okay"

Then put on a confident look: "Actually, I came to Bashu last year, and I also stayed in Chengdu for a while, and I almost touched Liu Zhang's conduct, as long as Wen Hou can allocate me a tiger general, let me dispatch it, so that I can take Chengdu!" ”

Lu Bu frowned: "But Liu Zhang refuses to fight now, and is like a turtle cowering in Chengdu City, even if you give you more fierce generals and soldiers, it will not help!" ”

Pang Tong said: "Others can't, only Zhang Ren and Leng Bao can!" (To be continued.) )
