In the evening, arrived in Xiangyang, rested overnight at Kuai's house, and the next morning, Pang Shanmin and Kuai Yue, together with the Taishou Mansion.

After the report of the next person, Kuai Yue and Pang Shanmin entered the Taishou Mansion together, in Liu Biao's house, for more than ten years, Kuai Yue has already been familiar with the road, and did not wait for the next person to lead the way, Kuai Yue took Pang Shanmin, went to the back hall, and met Liu Biao.

Last night, Liu Biao got the news that Pang Shanmin had entered Xiangyang, and when Pang Shanmin entered the back hall, he saw Liu Biao and Liu Qi, who had already been sitting in the hall, but Liu Qi looked at him with a gaze, which was more cordial than before, and there were many more complicated meanings.

"General, please be seated." Liu smiled on the surface, but he was still kind, but after recovering from a serious illness, Liu was much older than before.

"Xie Jingsheng." After Pang Shanmin sat down, his expression was indifferent, he looked at Liu Biao, and said, "Jingsheng Gong summoned today, and the mountain people don't know what is going on?" ”

Although Pang Shanmin was famous in Jingxiang a year ago, Liu Biao has never met Pang Shanmin, and his impression of Pang Shanmin is still in that academy, some young students who are wooden, but now goodbye, Pang Shanmin has a great bearing, but Liu Biao can't help but praise him secretly.

Thinking of this, Liu Biao couldn't help laughing and said: "The mountain people have now inherited the true inheritance of Chengyan, but it is easy to cultivate, but the mountain people don't have to pretend to be confused, I don't know what this old man is asking about." ”

"I don't know if Jingsheng Gong wants to ask about Jingnan, or about borrowing troops from Xichuan, or about the change of Jingxiang court?" Hearing this, Pang Shanmin nodded, and said: "There are many things, Pang has no clue, I don't know what Jingsheng wants to ask." ”

Liu Biao didn't expect that Pang Shanmin would tell him about it, but now Pang Shanmin seems to want to tell the truth, which makes Liu Biao quite stunned.

"Shanmin, you want to take away my Liu family's inheritance?" Liu Qi couldn't hold back, and left the table and said: "Liu asked himself, treat you well." ”

When Pang Shanmin heard this, he was silent, but Liu Biao snorted coldly and said to Liu Qi: "Qi'er, sit down!" ”

Liu Biao said, seeing that there was no displeasure on Pang Shanmin's face, he said to Pang Shanmin: "Don't be surprised by the mountain people." ”

Pang Shanmin shook his head when he heard this, and said to Liu Biao: "The eldest prince's question is also expected by the mountain people, but the mountain people also want to ask the eldest prince, Pang Mou is in the eldest prince's place, is there a debt?" In the past, the eldest prince traveled to Jingnan, all because he had no place to settle down, why now, he is responsible. ”

"Jing Xiang is my father's inheritance!" Liu Qi said, his eyes were on fire and said: "Qi was friends with the mountain people before, but he didn't want the mountain people to be wolf and want to encroach on my Liu family's land. ”

"If Pang wants to embezzle Jingsheng's foundation, how can he not raise swordsmen?" Pang Shanmin said it, and said with a smile indifferently: "I'm afraid that the eldest prince has misunderstood." ”

When Liu Qi heard this, he didn't know how to answer, but Liu Biao smiled and said: "The mountain people should have heard that the old man's mansion used a knife and axe hand to destroy the Cai family." ”

"If Jingsheng Gong wants to harm the mountain people, why do you need a knife and axe?" Pang Shanmin said that, Liu Biao also laughed and said: "Yidu, Qi'er, the old man wants to meet the mountain people alone, you two can wait outside the hall." ”

Hearing this, Kuai Yue nodded, and walked out of the room, Liu Qi wanted to say more, but was glared at by Liu Biao, so he had to be indignant in his heart and left the table.

"My son is not as good as the mountain people, if Jingxiang Liu's family also has the Pang family's big and small phoenix chicks, the old man will be tired so much now?" Liu Biao saw Liu Qi go away, sighed lightly, looked up at Pang Shanmin, and said, "Shanmin, the old man is in your heart, but he is a violent person?" ”

"As a prince, Jingsheng Gong has his own violent side, but the mountain people have never seen ......" Pang Shanmin sighed lightly when he heard this, and said to Liu Biao.

When Liu Biao heard this, he smiled bitterly and said to Pang Shanmin: "The old man is in Jingxiang Nine Counties, Guangxing is benevolent, and the people have been governing for more than ten years. ”

"Jingsheng Gong is benevolent and virtuous, and the people are more grateful."

"But why did the mountain people seize power, Jingxiang civil and military, all of them were attached?" Liu Biao said, snorted lightly: "The old man treats people kindly, is it wrong?" ”

"Don't forget Jingshenggong, today's troubled times ......" Seeing that Liu was quite angry on the surface, Pang Shanmin shook his head and sighed: "If it is a prosperous era, Jingsheng Gong is benevolent and virtuous, and the people are widely favored, and they should be able to govern the world, but if it is chaotic today, Jingsheng Gong has forgotten that in this troubled world, the most important thing is in this troubled world." ”

Seeing that Liu Biao was stunned when he heard this, Pang Shanmin sighed: "Jingsheng Gong guards the land of the nine counties, when you know that in the troubled times, the military horse is the most important, and the thing that the people want under the rule is Jingxiang tranquility, Jingsheng Gong loves the people and raises the soldiers, and has been running Jingxiang for more than ten years. ”

When Liu Biao heard this, his face was gloomy, and after a long time, he muttered: "The old man is practicing Confucian benevolence, and it is also wrong?" ”

"It's not wrong." Pang Shanmin saw Liu Biao's gloom, shook his head, and said: "It's just that Pang thinks that the timing of Jingsheng's benevolent government is not right, and for more than ten years, the Jingxiang army and people have had many heart diseases. ”

"Heart disease?" When Liu Biao heard this, his face showed incomprehension, but he listened to Pang Shanmin's words: "The scholars are dominant, the Shu people are in decline, and the land of wealth is no longer guarded, even those soldiers, in the hearts of the people, can also think that if Jiangdong and the north are strong and calm their internal troubles, Jingxiang will be like the meat of the chopping board, let it be slaughtered......"

Liu Biao was silent for a long time, not knowing how to refute, seeing that Pang Shanmin seemed to have something to say, Liu Biao sighed lightly: "The mountain people say it's okay, the old man thought that there was nothing wrong with the governance of Jingxiang for several years, but now it seems that the old man is very wrong, and it is really terrifying in the future......"

"It's not a big mistake, Pang Mou said, that's the case, and the people of Jingxiang also feel the kindness of Jingsheng Gong." Pang Shanmin said with a solemn face: "So the mountain people came this time not to reprimand Jingshenggong......

When Liu Biao heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "But now all the officials in the court are abandoning the old man's previous kindness because of the rise of the mountain people, and this mountain people can solve their doubts with the old man?" ”

"Jingsheng Gong thinks that the mountain people want to usurp the foundation of the Liu family?" Pang Shanmin smiled when he heard this: "I'm afraid that Jingsheng Gong misunderstood, if the Han Dynasty ruled the world, Jingsheng Gongzun was located in the Han family, and he was also an idle prince, Pang Mou came here, just to let Jingsheng Gong know that this Jingxiang is still surnamed Liu." ”

"The mountain people seem to want to learn from Cao Cao, and bring the old man to order Jingxiang?" Liu Biao said and laughed and said, "Could it be that the mountain people think that the old man can be bullied? ”

"Jingsheng Gong's words are wrong, the mountain people are not Cao Cao, and Jingsheng Gong is not the emperor, if you want to coerce the people of the Liu family, the mountain people should also coerce the eldest prince." When Pang Shanmin heard this, he chuckled lightly and said to Liu Biao: "So the mountain people think that the relationship between them and Jingsheng Gong should be cooperation, not mutual suspicion as they are now. ”
