Leaving the palace, Pang unified his face with a smile and went straight to the post house. Previously in the palace, he had a dispute with Liu Bei, Xu Shu and others, Pang Tong secretly said in his heart that the situation in Xiliang coincided with the previous speculation, Xiliang Ma Teng, Han Sui, and Liu Bei really looked like they were separated.

Although the alliance has not yet been negotiated, Pang Tong knows that Xiliang's desire for help is even more than that of Jing Xiang, and the alliance between the two families will be completed sooner or later, since it is difficult to change the general trend of the alliance, Pang Tong naturally will not mind, and on the way to negotiate, divide Liu Bei's forces and make them gradually oppose Ma Teng and Han Sui.

Only by muddying the water of Xiliang is the most beneficial to Jingxiang.

What's more, coming to Xiliang, connecting Ma Teng is only one of them, Pang Tong naturally knows that his brother who is guarding Changsha has other plans for Xiliang, Pang Tong went to Xiliang in person this time, in order to control the life of the people in Xiliang.

Pang Shanmin once said in Jingxiang that the west is cool and bitterly cold, this alliance, Ma Teng will ask Jingxiang for help sooner or later, in this case, it is better for Jingxiang to show sincerity and take the initiative.

100,000 stone grain and grass is enough for 100,000 people even for the vast Xiliang, for several months, but there is no free lunch in the world, and the grain and grass given by Pang Shanmin are not intended to be handed over to Ma Teng to buy people's hearts, but to make the Pang family distribute them in the shops in Xiliang counties.

In this way, although Ma Teng can borrow the Pang family's shop to settle the people, the Pang family can also gain popularity in Xiliang, and it can be regarded as taking what they need, but Ma Teng, Han Sui, Liu Bei and others are afraid that they will not think that Pang Shanmin is so generous, not without desire.

If Xiliang accepts Jingxiang's assistance this time, he can ensure Xiliang's stability and worry-free for a while, but Ma Teng is afraid that he doesn't know, how difficult it is to make money from luxury to frugality, if a year later, Jingxiang will no longer support Xiliang. Where does Xiliang get grain and straw to raise soldiers and people?

Could it be that Xu Shu can be expected to achieve it overnight, so that all the counties and counties of Xiliang will be productive?

Xu Shu is just a capable official, not a god, everyone knows the bitter cold of Xiliang, even if Xu Shu has all kinds of means, it is difficult to make Xiliang a place. Autarky.

At that time, Cao Cao will definitely not support Xiliang in the slightest, if he is forced to be helpless. Asking for help from Jing Xiang again, that Pang Tong didn't mind letting Xu Shu feel what it means to drink doves to quench his thirst!

While thinking about it, Pang Tong heard the neighing of people and horses behind him, and when he looked back, he saw Ma Chao riding alone, galloping.

Stay until Pang Tong is near. Ma Chao turned over and dismounted, and said to Pang Tong: "Mr. Shiyuan, don't go." ”

"Why don't you go?" Pang Tong chuckled when he heard this, and said to Ma Chao: "Meng Qi should go back earlier, since Liu Bei is unwilling to form an alliance between the two families, Pang Mou will not say much, but Pang Mou is a person who is not trustworthy and should send you 100,000 stone grain and grass in Xiliang, but only a few days." Bound to deliver! ”

When Ma Chao heard this, he was slightly startled, and said to Pang Tong: "The matter of Xiliang is the master of the family, when Ma left the palace, his father had reprimanded Liu Bei and others. ”

"Pang is even more generous. Xu Shu and Liu Bei may not appreciate it. Pang Tong said and smiled bitterly. Said to Ma Chao: "Meng Qi, don't persuade again, come to Xiliang." Acquaintance with Meng Qi, Pang is already satisfied, if Meng Qi has time in the future, he can go to Jingxiang and his party, then Pang and Meng Qi again, have a good drink! ”

When Ma Chao heard this, he was stunned, and it took a while to come back to his senses and say to Pang Tong: "If Mr. Shiyuan leaves, how will he explain to your brother when he returns to Jingxiang?" Ma came here to keep Shiyuan! ”

Seeing that Pang Tong was still hesitating, Ma Chao sighed: "The things in the palace, Mr. Shiyuan has seen it, since Liu Bei came to my Xiliang, my father is also quite embarrassed in the court...... How about my husband come home with me and talk to my father? ”

Ma Chao said, with a courteous face, he dragged Pang Tong to Ma Fu, how could Pang Tong resist Ma Chao's strength, and after a while, he was taken home by Ma Chao. …,

Ma Teng's mansion is not luxurious, the furnishings in the house are quite atmospheric, and you know that the owner of this house is a rough person.

In the hall, Ma Chao instructed his subordinates to prepare a banquet, and Pang Tongdao, when Ma Teng returned home, Pang Tong saw that it was difficult to get out, so he talked to Ma Chao about the previous Xiliang attack on Tongguan, Ma Chao heard Pang Tong mention this battle, and complained.

Xu Shu sent troops without authorization, Ma Chao didn't think it was strange, Ma Chao was most depressed that when Jia Xu sat in Xiongguan, Xu Shu had nothing to do, before he took Chang'an, Xu Shu had a lot of whimsical ideas, but when he met Jia Xu, Xu Shu was at a loss......

Ma Chao talked about the war, Pang Tong couldn't help laughing: "Although Yuan Zhi's strength is a little narrower, he can make great achievements in the affairs of the soldiers, tens of thousands ......of military horses, attacking a Tong Pass, if you want to say that Yuan Zhi is helpless, Pang doesn't believe it."

"Ke Yuanzhi once said that Jia Xu is very human, and ordinary strategies are difficult to work!" Ma Chao said, Pang Tong smiled: "The Xiliang army is strong, why is it so cowardly before fighting?" Pang thought that Yuan Zhi would not go down to Tongguan, so he had his own plans! ”

When Ma Chao heard this, his face changed slightly, but he heard Pang Tong smile and said: "If you break through Tongguan, and then you can occupy Hangu Pass, and then go to Luoyang, a smooth road, it is the time when Xiliang Iron Cavalry is powerful, but Meng Qike has thought that Liu Bei has always acted step by step, and now the situation in Xiliang is not clear, if Liu Bei occupies Luoyang again, he will be Shoucheng, General Wenyue, driven out of Chang'an, with only Liu Bei's army and horses, how to resist Cao Cao's revenge?" Therefore, Pang thought that Yuan Zhi was treacherous and attacked Tongguan, which had its own deep meaning! ”

"I see!" When Ma Chao heard this, he suddenly woke up, gritted his teeth and said: "I don't want Xu Yuanzhi's mind to be so vicious, could it be that he really thinks that I have no one in Xiliang?" ”

"Although there are many heroes in Xiliang, there are few people who are good at plotting, and Yuan Zhi is exactly like this, so he can be like a fish in water in front of General Shoucheng!" Pang Tong smiled when he heard this: "Dare to ask General Meng Qi, who are you in Xiliang, who is stronger than Yuan Zhi?" ”

When Ma Chao heard this, he couldn't help but be silent, but he saw Pang Tong smiling bitterly: "So today in the palace, Pang Mou's words are more intense, and in order to let General Shoucheng see this Liu Bei's face and alliance, my brother has not made any excessive demands on you Xiliang, you Xiliang is asking for food and grass, and you don't trade with me Jingxiang, why don't you trade with that Cao Cao?" Even so, Xu Shu, Liu Bei and others have repeatedly hindered the alliance between my two families, could it be that I can be bullied? ”

"When Meng Qi was stationed in Tianshui before, I stationed 100,000 soldiers in Hanzhong, but I didn't occupy any land in Xiliang, this kind of sincerity, Liu Bei and Xu Shu turned a blind eye?" Pang Tong said, sighed and said: "It's a pity that Pang Mou's strength is weak, and it is difficult to stop Liu Bei from causing trouble to Xiliang. This Xiliang doesn't want to form an alliance with me Jingxiang, but Jiangdong is looking forward to my Jingxiang! (To be continued)
