The big scene depicted by Zhuge Liang made it difficult for Sun Quan and Zhou Yu to choose for a while, but Zhuge Liang was not in a hurry, at the invitation of Sun Quan, waiting for news in the post house, Jing Xiang joined Wu to resist Cao, the strength of the two families is always much stronger than Cao Wei, Zhuge Liang has reason to believe that only one Hefei Zhang Liao can not stop the ambition of expanding the land in the northeast of the Yangtze River.

At the same time, Pang Shanmin also summoned his ministers to negotiate with the Jingxiang court to attack Wancheng.

It's just that what Pang Shanmin didn't expect was that there were two voices in the court for the first time, the generals in the army all wanted to fight with Cao Cao, but the families thought that if the army was raised in the Central Plains, it would inevitably have a great impact on the family business.

Three years of peace has made the family forget the war, very enjoy the current Jingxiang wealth, although the authority into wealth, but the influence of the family, but not weakened, although the Jingxiang Pang family is still rich, but also thaumaturgical profit of the Jingxiang family, unconsciously has found another way, grown into a behemoth that can influence the economic and trade situation in the world.

Pang Shanmin was unhappy about the quarrel between the main battle faction and the main peace faction above the court, but Pang Shanmin also knew that Jing Xiang's development into this way also had a lot to do with him, the leader of many families.

It is also natural for the family to pursue peace, and not every family has great ambitions to win the world.

Pang Shanmin also knew that if he insisted on going his own way and forcibly conquered Wancheng, the money and food in the army still had to be supported by the family, once there were one or two guys who dragged their feet and affected the war, then they would sacrifice the butcher's knife and kill several people, but it was too late, and the feeling that the situation was out of control made Pang Shanmin also quite hesitant. After pondering for a long time, Pang Shanmin left Erkuai behind and ordered the rest of the people to disperse.

Seeing the unhappy look on Pang Shanmin's face, Er Kuai Liang was uneasy in his heart, Kuai Liang took the initiative to break the silence in the hall and said to Pang Shanmin: "Tang Hou." The family is like this, not at the behest of the two of us! ”

Pang Shanmin nodded slightly.

Shicai Erkui did not speak for the family, Pang Shanmin saw it in his eyes. Naturally, I am grateful to the two of them for what they did.

This is the cleverness of Erkuai, Pang Shanmin is in charge of Jingxiang, but the Jingxiang family is taken back by him because of his authority. Even the private soldiers at home have strict rules, that is, with Liu Biao's gentle temperament, they can kill the Cai family, how can Pang Shanmin, the overlord of several states, be a good character?

Frowning and thinking for a moment, Pang Shanmin said to Kuai Liang: "Mr. Zirou, in your opinion, should Pang Mou go north to the Central Plains this time?" ”

When Kuai Liang heard this, he sighed lightly and said: "According to Tang Hou's past actions, Liang thought it was Tang Hou using force. It is also Koto. After that, Kuai Liang did not forget to excuse the families, and said to Pang Shanmin: "It's not that the heads of the families don't want to support the Tang Marquis in the war, but when Jingsheng is there, the Central Plains treat me Jingxiang." has always been strong, that is, in recent years, under the management of Tang Hou, the situation has improved, but in the eyes of most people, my opponent Jingxiang is the prime minister of the Han Dynasty. And the imperial army ......"

When Pang Shanmin heard this, he couldn't help but say: "Mr. said something that surprised Pang Mou, now the heads of various families, there is still the court in their hearts?" ”

When Erkui heard this, he couldn't help laughing, if it is said that the people in the world are the most profitable, it is Jing Xiang, since the wealth of the families, the most important thing in the eyes is only wealth! The reason why the previous families were reluctant to use force was also because they were afraid of affecting trade, or more precisely, these families hoped that Pang Shanmin would compensate them for some thaumaturgy as before.

It's just that now Pang Shanmin doesn't want to talk about a deal with the family and seek support.

But Pang Shanmin has realized that today's Jingxiang attaches great importance to merchant trade, land annexation is becoming more and more serious, and has gradually moved towards a deformed road, if a year or two ago, Pang Shanmin can still learn from history and grasp the situation in Jingxiang, but now Pang Shanmin has found that not to mention the situation in the world, it is the situation in Jingxiang, and it has gradually deviated from his predetermined track.

Although Pang Shanmin has always disliked imposing his will on others, when facing politics, if he is too soft, he will harm others and himself.

Seeing that Pang Shanmin was thinking hard, and the expression on his face changed several times, Er Kuai knew that Pang Shanmin already had murderous intentions in his heart, Kuai Yue sighed when he saw this: "Tang Hou, now that the thaumaturgy of the workshop has made progress, why not grant the family a little more technology and seek support?" ”

Hearing this, Kuai Liang also nodded and said: "My Kuai family is still looking forward to Tang Hou's horse, this time Tang Hou does not need to appease us and others, if my family sells benefits, presumably the rest of the family will not dare to speak." ”

Pang Shanmin shook his head when he heard this, and said to Erkuai: "Don't worry, two gentlemen, this idea of the family, Pang understands, although he doesn't agree, he won't be a killer, but Pang thinks that the Northern Expedition is extremely important to my Jingxiang's future development, Pang has previously discussed with Kong Ming that it will be dangerous to forget the war, and Pang's ambition is not like Sun Quan's, a corner of peace, and now Cao Cao can borrow Wuhuan, Xiongnu training, Jiangdong warships across the river, expand the naval army, and I Jingxiang rarely deal with the war, now Jingxiang soldiers are strong and strong, There is no need to worry about being spied on by Cao Cao, if anything happens to Jingxiang in the future, how can the lieutenant generals of our army resist the division of a hundred battles in the Central Plains if they have not fought for a long time? ”

Speaking of this, Pang Shanmin sighed lightly and said: "But in the final analysis, this matter is also to blame Pang for quick success, when he integrated the family before, Pang Mou instilled the idea of wealth and omnipotence for my Jingxiang family in order to achieve quick success, but now it seems that the hidden dangers have been revealed." ”

Er Kuai also smiled bitterly when he heard this.

Although Jing Xiang's steps are big, but its military and financial do not match, and in the final analysis, the Central Plains has a strong foundation, both of them are thinking that if they did not strike the war with Cao Cao three years ago and attack the Central Plains in one go, what would it look like today?

After thinking about it for a long time, the two realized that if two of the three princes competed, the rest of the family would make a profit.

Seeing that the two of them fell into a reverie, Pang Shanmin sighed lightly: "It's better to be blocked, now the Northwest Army has resumed trade with the countries of the Western Regions, among which most of the merchants are Yongliang people, why don't Pang introduce Jingxiang merchants into Xiliang?" ”

"No!" When Kuai Yue heard this, he hurriedly persuaded: "If you act like this, the families in other places will think that Tang Hou is partial, and now Tang Hou is acting like before, not only considering the interests of Jing Xiang, the northwest land, and the land under Tang Hou!" ”

When Pang Shanmin heard this, he glanced at Kuai Yue with satisfaction, and tried his words before, but Kuai Yue still used practical actions to prove Er Kuai's loyalty, since the leader of the Jingxiang family is loyal, the rest of the family can't mess up.

Simply put away the idea of killing the first and second families in his heart to show warning, Pang Shanmin said to Erkuai: "Then Pang will give the lords and those another chance, and I hope that the two of you will tell the heads of the family that Pang is resolute in fighting and has the support of the generals and soldiers in the army. ”
