Chapter 238: Willing to serve the emperor's uncle

In Qin Ming's eyes, it is far-fetched to say that it is a soldier and horse, because this soldier and horse has no armor at all, and the team that was divided out did not even have a spear, and escaped a group of refugees.

Qin Ming fixed his eyes and saw that it was the army he despised the most, Fan Lixiang's Jingnan Peasant Army.

As early as on the road from Jiangling to Baichuan, Qin Ming and Fan Lixiang were at odds, and then Liu Zhang was in charge, and the enemy was at present, Qin Ming didn't dare to say anything, now that the army had entered the city, Qin Ming had a lot less scruples, and then he was interested and immediately stepped forward.

"Yo, isn't this the mighty army of the heroine Fan Lixiang? What a coincidence, I heard that the lord didn't ask you to go around and preach to those peasant village women? How did you get here? ”

"You ......" Xing Daorong was about to step forward with a big plate axe, but was stopped by Fan Lixiang and smiled at Chen Ying: "Remember the name given by Captain Qin, we will be called Shenwei Army in the future." ”

Fan Lixiang didn't even look at Qin Ming, and turned to Liu Min, who was dressed as a refugee, and gave instructions.

"Phew, it's also called the Shenwei Army like you, look at you like this, forget it without armor, and now the spears are half less, oh, I know, the lord didn't think you could fight at all, you just dug up the corpses and posted notices, so confiscate your spears, hahahaha."

Qin Ming laughed out loud, Fan Lixiang frowned slightly, and explained a few words to Liu Min, Liu Min turned around and blended into the "refugees" and walked along the river bridge to the north of the river.

Xing Dao was angry, picked up a bamboo slip and walked towards Qin Ming, but Chen Ying didn't stop him.

Xing Daorong threw the bamboo slip in Qin Ming's face, "This is the lord's reward book, open your eyes wide, 30,000 spears, 300 swords, 5,000 pairs of armor, 20,000 pairs of cloth armor, reward General Fan, 100 gold, 300 silver, and seal the general of Pingnan Zhonglang, what are you sealing a dog thing?" ”

Qin Ming's face turned red, he was furious, but he couldn't help but take out the bamboo slip and take a look, sure enough, as Xing Daorong said, the reward was very heavy, and the army entered Xiangyang, for some reason, Liu Zhang did not order the reward, and now he actually rewarded this group of farmers with Xiangyang's inventory first, and the treatment was so generous, Qin Ming was immediately very angry.

Qin Ming threw the bamboo slips into the paddy field.

Fan Lixiang turned over and got on the horse, held a fan in her hand on a rainy day, knocked on her head and said: "General Xing, come back, don't embarrass Captain Qin, you are now too guarded, what is the strength of a captain, don't lose your identity." ”

"Yes." Xing Daorong grinned and returned to Fan Lixiang's side.

"You ......" Qin Ming was speechless angrily, wanting to fight, and scrupling about military law, Liu Zhang's punishment for private fights in the camp was extremely severe.

Qin Ming saw the peasant army walking on the river bridge in a blink of an eye, suddenly his eyes turned, he sneered in his heart, and said to Fan Lixiang, who immediately disdained him: "We'll see." He turned and strode away.

Yang Zishang glanced at Qin Ming and shook his head, he was really not interested in these, he only cared about two things, the first was how to pit the clan, and the second was whether he could display his talents, now that the Sichuan army lacked civilian officials, the second was nothing to worry about, only how to pit the clan, Yang Zishang was full of thoughts, and he felt quite bored about Qin Ming's angry behavior.

…… Jingzhou Pastoral Mansion, in the rain pavilion, Liu Zhang and Pang Tong sat opposite each other to play chess, Xiao Furong and Sang Ye each sat on the side to watch, when the teacup in front of Pang Tong and Liu Zhang was empty, Sang Ye got up and poured tea.

"Haha, I won again." Liu Zhang fell a son and surrounded Pang Tong to death, and was very happy to be able to win the top advisers of the three kingdoms, Xiao Furong saw Liu Zhang smiling, and also looked at the chessboard seriously, although she couldn't understand anything.

"I've won seven games in a row today, Shi Yuan, did you deliberately let me." Liu Zhang said with a smile, after more than half a year of war, all the decrees in Xiangyang have been issued, and now it is rare to be idle, and Liu Zhang has relaxed a lot.

Pang Tong looked at Liu Zhang depressedly, he really didn't let Liu Zhang, the two of them played seven-grid Go, with Pang Tong's IQ, they usually played nineteen grids, or even twenty-three grids, and basically did not touch them below seventeen grids.

The worst, the lowest level of Go is also nine-grid Go, but Liu Zhang is good, he chose seven grids, and every time he has to go first, there are so many grids, and he has a big advantage in taking the first, Ren Pangtong's wisdom is outstanding, and he can't turn the table, so he can only be depressed and abused by Liu Zhang.

"No, no more." Pang Tong was angry, pushed the chess pieces in front of him, and stood in the corner pouting, so Pang Tong was so ignorant of current affairs, and dared to play a temper in front of the lord, he deserved to be a personal soldier.

"Not down?" Liu Zhang was unhappy all of a sudden, and said with a straight face: "Okay, you go back, it just so happens that there is a shortage of charcoal ash in the army, and I asked Gao Pei to send you to the countryside to collect charcoal and grass ash, oh, by the way, dry cow dung is not bad." ”

Pang Tong depressedly picked up the scattered chess pieces on the chessboard, honestly cleaned the chessboard, and Liu Zhang threw another chess piece in the middle with great interest, so a new round of abuse began.

"Little Yang Er, meet the lord." A soldier braved the rain to cross the wooden bridge and pay homage in front of the pavilion.

Liu Zhang glanced at Xiao Bing up and down, a little surprised, and said as he fell: "What's the matter, let's talk about it." ”

"The little ones should be denounced, and the lord should forgive the small sins."

"You are not guilty."

"Fan Lixiang, the leader of the Jingnan Peasant Army, sent troops to cross the river without permission, and he was suspected of defecting to the enemy, so please ask the lord to investigate thoroughly." The soldier bowed down.

"Which general's subordinate are you?" Liu Zhang took a sip of tea and asked casually.

"The little Yang Er, it was the little one who saw General Fan by chance, took advantage of the heavy rain to cover people's eyes and ears, transferred troops to cross the river, and was afraid that things would be big, so he specially reported to the lord."

"Which general's subordinate are you?"

"What the little one sees with his own eyes is not false."

"I asked you which general's subordinate you were." Liu Zhang slapped the teacup on the stone table, the tea splashed, suddenly turned his head, said sternly, looked at the soldier coldly, the soldier shook his whole body in fright, and stammered: "Qin, General Qin Ming's subordinates." ”

"Alright, let's go down." Liu Zhang waved his hand and continued to play chess with Pang Tong.

After the soldier left, Pang Tong smiled and said: "Uncle Huang is angry, he made a mistake, hehe, this time Pang Tong is not welcome." ”

Liu Zhang fixed his eyes, and sure enough, he deviated and slapped his thigh.

"En~" Pang Tong pressed the chess pieces hard, Liu Zhang's more than a dozen chess pieces were surrounded to death, watching Liu Zhang clean up the chess pieces on the chessboard one by one, Pang Tong said: "Uncle Huang is really angry, then Fan Lixiang privately transferred troops to Jiangbei, what does Uncle Huang plan to do?" ”

Liu Zhang looked up at Pang Tongyi's eyes: "Do you think it should be dealt with too?" ”

Pang Tong didn't answer, and Liu Zhang said to Wang Xu: "Has anyone come to inquire about things?" "Generally, if Liu Zhang has any movement here, those who care about it are looking for relatives to inquire, Liu Zhang knows this, and he won't care, what should not be said, Wang Xu and others will naturally not say it.

"General Qin Ming's lieutenant inquired whether the lord had ordered Fan Lixiang to march into Jiangbei."

Liu Zhang nodded, and Pang Tong smiled: "It seems that Uncle Huang knows it." ”

Liu Zhang pinched the chess pieces between his fingers and said in a deep voice: "I hate the intrigue in the camp the most." ”

Pang Tong drank all the tea in his mouth, handed the teacup to Sang Ye, Sang Ye got up and poured tea, Pang Tong shook his head and said: "The intrigue of the military under his command exists in any army, if the emperor's power is weak, this is a fatal wound, if the Sichuan army grows stronger, there is no factional dispute in the army, it is greatly disadvantageous to the emperor's uncle."

Now that Uncle Huang is sitting in Jingyi Erzhou, it is not big or small, but it is definitely not small, for Uncle Huang, how to control these intrigues is the most crucial. ”

"I can't control this person, I can't rub the sand in my eyes, I can't get used to it and kill it directly, if Shi Yuan is willing to help, I may be able to barely turn around."

"Hehehehehehe." Pang Tong smirked a few times: "Uncle Huang called me today, just to ask me this sentence." ”

"That's right." Liu Zhang didn't shy away at all, and sighed: "It's not a matter for us to be so consumed, just a matter of one sentence, Shiyuan can't be Gao Pei's personal soldier for the rest of his life." ”

Pang Tong smiled and said, "Just one sentence? Not necessarily, I just want to know, if I don't agree, will Uncle Huang let me go? Pang Tong felt that in front of the imperial uncle, there was no choice at all. ”

"You're just too straight-talking." Liu Zhang smiled, thought for a while and said: "Then let's do it, don't blame me for not giving you a chance, if you don't agree to surrender, help me collect the Jingzhou Water Army, I'll let you go, if you can still help me take the Jiangxia ......"

Liu Zhang muttered: "I'll accompany you to perform a play, and on the day you leave the Sichuan camp, I will beg you to stay, and then you resolutely brush your sleeves and leave, I still have no way to take you, by the way, sigh a few times 'lose the world' or something, how about it?" ”

The navy floating in the river in Jingzhou has always been a stone in Liu Zhang's heart, it is too easy to block these navy, and the navy without the supply port is still called the navy? But what Liu Zhang wants is to subdue these water army, and Jingzhou without water army cannot be called Jingzhou.

Liu Biao is because there is a water army, the strong enemy does not dare to invade the territory, if there is no water army, just like Liu Bei in history, Jingzhou, it is really a place to fight.

"Hahaha." Pang Tong laughed loudly, slapped the table with his palm, and the chess pieces jumped and jumped, and praised: "Interesting, interesting, why didn't Pang Tong find out that Uncle Huang had such an interesting side, Uncle Huang is wise, Pang Tong is really convinced, Uncle Huang has seen through Pang Tong's nature and knows what Pang Tong wants most." ”

Liu Zhang smiled and moved a chess piece without a trace.

Pang Tong suddenly calmed down, his face was solemn, he got up and left his seat, and bowed to Liu Zhang: "Uncle Huang is above, and he will be worshiped by Pang Tong." ”

This is the deepest etiquette since Pang Tong entered the Sichuan camp, but Liu Zhang noticed Pang Tong's title: Uncle Huang.

"Uncle Huang is Pang Tong has ever seen, the most calm and decisive, the most ambitious, adaptable, uninhibited, not trapped in the normal state of the lord, the world, unique, Pang Tong once insulted Mrs. Xiao, today the emperor uncle let Mrs. Xiao watch chess, is already sincere and generous to Pang Tong.

Pang Tong can follow the emperor's uncle in this life and conquer the world, it is Tianze's virtue, and it is an honor for his life, Pang Tong has not dared to have other requirements, as long as the emperor's uncle can promise Pang Tong's affairs, Pang Tong is willing to serve the emperor's uncle. ”

Pang Tong buried his head deeply, Liu Zhang flicked the chess pieces on the chessboard one by one, and said: "Shiyuan has something to say, although he said it." ”

Pang Tong raised his head and glanced at Xiao Furong, with obvious apologies in his eyes, this had never happened before, Xiao Furong chuckled in her heart.

Pang Tong said to Liu Zhang: "Uncle Huang, since ancient times, if it is an elite army, it must be neat and orderly, and the order is strict.

Therefore, before the battle, there must be an iron-blooded division, the combat power of the Sichuan army is stronger than the Jingzhou army, but compared to the Central Plains, the north, and the people of Xiliang, the Sichuan army is still too far behind, and the enemy of the emperor will be stronger in the future, so the first thing is to train the troops.

Forgive Pang Tong for bluntly saying that Mrs. Xiao leads an army alone, Pang Tong can't control it, Fan Lixiang is an independent person with an independent temperament and is too scheming, although Pang Tong is not afraid of her, but Pang Tong is not here to fight with her when he joins the emperor's uncle, and the imperial uncle must remove Fan Lixiang's military power and must not interfere in any military affairs. ”

"Why do you have to fight with her?"

"Fan Lixiang is a woman, with a strong desire for power, good at figuring out people's hearts, insidious and ruthless, unscrupulous, and unscrupulous, if such a person is really capable, he will help the imperial uncle greatly, and he will also suffer greatly for the imperial uncle, can't the imperial uncle see that Fan Lixiang has been erecting prestige in Li Shu, that is, the imperial uncle can't remove her from her authority? In the long run, Weigao covers the master.

And Fan Lixiang has no real skills, look at her 20,000 peasant army, you know, although she is a peasant, but she has led the troops for several months, and she should have improved, but it is still a scattered sand, those soldiers are not in awe of Fan Lixiang, they are not familiar with the drills, their prestige is not strong, and the formation is unknown, why do they charge into battle?

Fan Lixiang has accumulated prestige from Jingnan, Xiangjiang, and Xiangyang, and is now a figure that cannot be ignored in the Sichuan army, a powerful and incompetent person, commanding such an army, must be the biggest obstacle to the training of the Sichuan army, Pang Tong has to control the overall situation, and like the emperor's uncle, his eyes do not rub sand. ”

Pang Tong was impassioned, Liu Zhang was silent, Xiao Furong glanced at Liu Zhang, stood up and said to Pang Tong: "Mr. Shiyuan, you don't have to worry about me, if Mr. is willing to go out of the Shichuan Army, Xiao Furong is willing to return to Chengdu immediately, and will never be involved in the military in the future." Xiao Furong's face was calm and determined.

"Madame understands righteousness." Pang Tong bowed to Xiao Furong and said, Pang Tong has been in the Sichuan Army for so long, even if he blamed Xiao Furong like that in order to test Liu Zhang's bottom line, now Xiao Furong can still watch chess calmly, and he also knows that Xiao Furong is not as unbearable as rumored, which is also the reason why Pang Tong expressed his apologies to Xiao Furong.

Think of it as an apology for the day.

But a woman, who is still the Duchess and Lady, does not match the iron-blooded teacher in her heart.

"Fan, pear, fragrant." Liu Zhang read word by word, his fingers tapping on the chessboard one by one.
