Three years is not a long time for a long life, but it is by no means short, since the resignation with Cao Cao, except for the two years ago the uproar between the five tiger generals and the five good generals, Pang Shanmin did not take the initiative to provoke.

The Central Plains and Jiangdong are also very tacitly understanding of the troops and their own development, for the long-disputed situation in the world, this extremely rare peace, so that the "fire" of the princes of each family has gradually decreased.

It is Pang Shanmin, the lord of Jingxiang, who also rarely puts down government affairs and accompanies his family for several months.

In fact, Jingxiang government affairs now do not need Pang Shanmin to spend too much thought, although Pang Shanmin is in power, can be exercised in Jingxiang official appointment and dismissal, personnel scheduling things, Pang Shanmin more to Kong Ming to do, and Xichuan Law is conscientious, Yongliang Pang Tong also spent three years, the Western Regions countries to clean up the obedience, with the increasingly prosperous merchant trade, Chang'an also slowly restored the grace and luxury of the Han Dynasty, Pang Tong also suggested Pang Shanmin before, whether to move the political and economic center of Jingxiang from Xiangyang to Chang'an......

Pang Shanmin did not pay attention to this, although now Cao Cao has given up Xudu and moved the capital to Yecheng, but the cost of it is that Pang Shanmin heard it, and he was speechless, for the construction of large buildings, Pang Shanmin has never been very interested, and if the capital is moved to Chang'an, Pang Shanmin is also worried that Jingxiang, which has been stable for a long time, will add many unnecessary variables.

Although the Jingxiang family gradually withdrew from the court, but its strong economic strength, also made Pang Shanmin quite a headache, originally until the Song Dynasty when the emergence of capitalism, now due to the "Jingxiang thaumaturgy" foil, Jingxiang, Xichuan and other places, has gradually produced land annexation and the emergence of a large number of hired laborers, and Pang Shanmin has long been aware. Jing Xiang's deformed development gradually got out of his control. The status of merchants and craftsmen has unconsciously improved, and Jingxiang's system has completely escaped from the laws of the Han Dynasty.

For this reason, Pang Shanmin had to convene Xiangyang Erkuai, Wolong and Phoenix Chicks, and implement the new Jingxiang Decree together, while restraining merchants, but also requiring more families to earn wealth at the same time, feed back to the people, Erkuai's idea of Pang Shanmin. also supports, and the two are also aware that once the family swells again, they will be feared by the people of Pang Shan. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers under the control of Pang Shanmin. It's not an ornament.

The family has gained wealth, but has lost authority, if it does not know how to restrain itself. Trouble will come to you.

Because of this, the contradictions between the family and the common people that Pang Shanmin were worried about did not happen with the efforts of the virtuous ministers and officials of Jingxiang, and the lives of the people were much better than three years ago, which also benefited from the merchant trade from the Central Plains. The two places in Jiangdong and the countries of the Western Regions continued to plunder wealth.

Although Cao Cao. Sun Quan has realized that he should not condone the trade of merchants who come and go to Jingxiang, but the merchants under his rule can't bear the goods of Jingxiang, which are of good quality and low price, and Yizhou and Jingzhou are all important places for grain production.

To say that in the past three years, the most surprising thing for Pang Shanmin is that after Liu Bei entered Jiangxia, he died down, and Yu Jiangxia's meticulous work monitored Liu Bei for three years, Liu Bei seems to have abandoned the ideal of dominating the world, in Jiangxia, diligent, Jiangxia people have gradually forgotten Liu Bei's previous "disaster star" name, in the past three years, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Jing Xiang, Xichuan, and even Runan have been playing military horses, and there are also ways to Jiangxia, but what is reciprocated is the friendship of Taoyuan Sanying, which seems to be much worse than before, Today's Liu Bei is more inclined to ask Ji Ma Yan, Yi nationality and others, and the lieutenant generals and colonels in the army, except for Gan Ning, no one has a good relationship with Liu Bei.

Pang Shanmin naturally did not doubt Gan Ning's loyalty, and also knew that Gan Ning and Liu Bei were friends, mostly because of Guan, Zhang and the others, Liu Bei could be content with the dull, Pang Shanmin simply abandoned the killing thoughts in his heart, and felt that it was not bad for this Han emperor uncle to have this fate.

At the same time, the other two princes have also changed a lot, whether it is Cao Cao in the north or Sun Quan in Jiangdong, they are all working hard to regroup.

Although Jing Xiang made a lot of money, but did not as Pang Shanmin imagined, the two princes slowly dragged down, more than two years, although Cao Cao did not fight with Jiangdong, Jingxiang two families, but after its move to the capital, a large amount of military power was used in the north, crusade against the Xiongnu, Wuhuan, poor nomads are far from Cao Jun such a hundred battles of the army of the opponent, even Pang Shanmin is extremely surprised, if Cao Cao exerts his strength, is not even Goguryeo and the land of Sanhan, can control the hands......

Could it be that Cao Cao still plans to become the ancestor of the people of the Republic of Korea in the future?

The cattle, sheep and horses of different races have become Cao Cao's wealth, that is, they have endless trade with Jingxiang, and the Central Plains can also ensure the balance of payments, and it can even be said that there is a slight surplus.

The land gradually expanded to the north, and the Central Plains also regained its former domineering, Pang Shanmin knew in his heart that Cao Cao was afraid that he would not be able to bear the loneliness in his heart, and he wanted to compete with Jingxiang and Jiangdong.

Although there was a great feud in Qingzhou before, Pang Shanmin thought that if Cao Cao wanted to raise troops, the preferred target was Jingxiang, and the Jiangdong Navy had been reborn under Zhou Yu's maneuver over the years, and Gan Ning, the governor of the Navy Army, also said frankly in front of Pang Shanmin that Zhou Yu had returned to his old profession, and the momentum of the Jiangdong Navy had changed greatly.

Since Zhou Yu and Tai Shi Ci returned to Jiangdong, Tai Shi Ci shocked Shanyue, and was instructed by Sun Quan to learn the strategy of integrating the Southern Barbarians in the past, and took the initiative to communicate with Shanyue, suppressing and combining, Jiaozhou Shanyue and more attached to Jiangdong, and tributed to the special products in the mountains in order to protect himself, and Sun Quan also used Huairou means to accept the leaders of various departments, and Yunshanyue became an army of its own, and protected the land of Jiangdong.

As for the water, in three years, Jiangdong diligently built ships, and Zhou Yu announced the return of Jiangdong Zhou Lang in a shocking way.

Each prince is developing its own strength in a unique way, and no one can replicate the success of the other, Pang Shanmin is very disappointed in this situation, it seems that the idea of using trade to drag down the two princes is too naïve.

Although the ancients had a lot less knowledge than Pang Shanmin, they were not stupid, the Central Plains, Jiangdong had no thaumaturgical benefits, but they also had primitive ways to deal with it, and Jingxiang's products were not irreplaceable for the two princes.

Could it be that the only way to win Kyushu is to use the advantages of soldiers and armor to conquer on the battlefield?

Pang Shanmin has seen too many lives caused by the war, and his heart has long changed from curiosity to disgust for war, but three years have passed in a hurry, and the situation of the world has told Pang Shanmin that since ancient times, Huashan has a road, and if you want to dominate the world, it is still between the princes, who is strong.

Although Pang Shanmin is not afraid of war, but he does not want to take the initiative to provoke right and wrong, three points of the world has made him satisfied, if it is difficult to fight, why bother to let the people of several states rule, just to achieve his heart, take this hard-won happy life?

Maybe with the advantage of being young, sit back and wait for Cao Cao and Sun Quan to grow old? In troubled times, they can compete with Pang Shanmin's chess opponents, but their children are not as amazing as their parents!

Pang Shanmin was thinking about it, and another messenger Pegasus came to report, saying that there was a letter in the Central Plains.

Cao Cao's letter?

Pang Shanmin over the years, occasionally and Cao Cao correspondence, Pang Shanmin on how long Cao Cao can live, extremely concerned, if Cao Cao once died of illness or in the expedition to Wuhuan, the Huns, encountered an accident, it is the time of Jingxiang to raise troops, but Cao Cao's physical condition, has always been good, the prime minister personally conquered the northern alien race several times, Pang Shanmin pinned on the prime minister's personality charm, so he should also be patronized by the arrow, but the final result made Pang Shanmin repeatedly disappointed.

Unfolded the letterhead, it was still Cao Cao's strong handwriting, and between the lines, it was quite smooth, obviously the prime minister was in a good mood when he made this book.

After Pang Shanmin read the letter, he pondered for a long time, and then ordered the waiter to invite Zhuge Liang to come to discuss the matter.

Cao Cao proposed in the letter that the lonely Prime Minister wanted to connect with Jingxiang and conspire with Jiangdong.

Cao Cao said that once Pang Shanmin responded to his invitation, the soldiers and horses in Hefei, Shouchun and other places would be moved, and the flames of war would be burned in the Lujiang River.

In this way, Jiangdong has no more land in the north, and what Pang Shanmin has to do is to work together with the Central Plains to contain the Jiangdong naval army, and not to reinforce the important places of the Lujiang River.

If the Lujiang River can be determined, Cao Cao will not make a hindrance from Jingxiang's large-scale expedition to Jiangdong in the future, so that the two princes can row the river and rule, but in the end, Jingxiang will take advantage of only a lot more than the Central Plains.

Pang Shanmin only read the letterhead once, and instinctively did not want to agree to Cao Cao's proposal, it seems that Cao Cao painted a big cake for Jing Xiang, but against the Jiangdong naval army, Pang Shanmin has no chance of winning, Zhou Yu fought on land, or there was a defeat, but on the water, the governor of Jiangdong rarely ate deflated, although Jing Xiang could fight with Jiangdong on the river a few years ago, but now, with Zhou Yu's continuous training, Jing Xiang is in a weak position on the river.

And the reason is not that Gan Ning is not hard enough, but that Zhou Yu is extremely talented, and Gan Ning's reliance on the river is his experience in Shuikou, and when he encounters a regular water army that has experienced a hundred battles, the ability of Shuikou will always be dwarfed.

Not long after, Zhuge Liang entered the hall of Pang Mansion, and after receiving the letter, Zhuge Liang chuckled lightly and said to Pang Shanmin: "Liang originally thought that now that the period of the strike has passed, the first thing Cao Cao has to do is to find his brother to recover the previous defeat in Runan, but he never thought that Cao Cao wanted to avenge Qingzhou!" ”

"It's also beyond Pang Mou's expectations......" Pang Shanmin sighed lightly when he heard this: "Maybe the prime minister is in the Huns, and the Wuhuan fight is too smooth, and now Jiangdong is no longer in his eyes......"
