Chapter 533: Who Else Is I
Pang Tong said: "Wouldn't the governor be calm for a while, take a step back and open the sky, Liu Zebing is strong, it is better to avoid its edge for the time being, retreat to protect half of the south of the Yangtze River, row the river and rule, and fight against Liu Ze, what does the governor think about this?" β
Zhou Yu's face changed suddenly, and it was so gloomy that it made people shudder. "This must be Zhuge Villager's words, how can Shi Yuan listen to his fallacy! Liu Ze rose in Xuzhou, swept Huainan and Jingxiang in a few years, and its development was so rapid that it was eye-popping, and if it was not contained, it would be a disaster for Jiangdong for a long time. Divide the river and rule, it seems perfect, Dongwu sits on half of the south of the Yangtze River, can attack and retreat, but in fact, it is not, Jingzhou is rich, all in the south of the Jianghan, Jingnan poor mountains and bad waters, barbarians are difficult to ambush, Liu Ze has a rich land, I Jiangdong has a barren land, how can I fight the court? Now our army is in Chibi, everything is ready, just a east wind, you can win a complete victory in a moment, Zhuge Liang harbors evil intentions, confuses the army's heart, how can he try to relieve Liu Ze's siege, such sinister intentions, how can he be unprepared? If he dares to speak nonsense and snub the morale of the army, he will definitely be killed! β
Pang Tong was secretly surprised, it seemed that the relationship between Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu was even worse than he imagined. At the beginning of yesterday in the Dongwu camp, the sharp-minded Pang Tong had already noticed the embarrassment of Zhuge Liang's position, with Zhuge Liang's talent, at least in the army, he was also the position of the chief strategist, but Pang Tong saw that Zhuge Liang was just a marginal figure in the army, although he had the title of marching senator, but he could not participate in the core decision-making circle of Dongwu at all, and he thought that Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu had some dirty feelings. Looking at Zhou Yu's expression at this time, it was clear that he had an insoluble grudge with Zhuge Liang, in his words. There is a lot of hatred, Zhuge Liang is not only rare to be reused in the Eastern Wu Army, but also worries about his life at all times.
Zhou Yu's personality, Pang Tong has a deep understanding, wide on the outside and taboo on the inside, and the face is kind, if it is a friend who he thinks can make friends, he can be good to you from the heart, and it is incumbent on him to stick a knife in both sides; But if he is regarded as an enemy of the enemy. It is difficult to turn over in his eyes in this life. They will even resort to murder by any means.
Pang Tong's mind was spinning rapidly, he came to Jiangdong just to get the reuse of Zhou Yu and even Wu Hou and show his life's ambitions. Live up to what you have learned in your life. As for the feudal marquis. Pang Tong thinks that it is a matter of course, and with his own talents, it is not wishful thinking to get to that point in the future. Although Zhou Yu is small. But when Chaisang was in good hands, he had a good relationship with himself, Pang Tong didn't know why Zhuge Liang was jealous of Zhou Yu after he arrived in Jiangdong, even though he said that the literati were light, but Zhou Yu, as the commander of a country, would definitely not recruit talents and talents, it seems that Zhuge Liang's paranoia misled him, Zhou Yu was very arrogant, Zhuge Liang openly opposed his opinion, isn't this looking for his own draw?
Thinking about it, Pang Tong had a flash of inspiration in his mind, Zhuge Liang was abandoned by Zhou Yu, isn't this God favoring him, as long as he follows Zhou Yu's wishes this time and gives him advice, after the victory of Chibi, who else will be the chief strategist of Jiangdong?
Frankly speaking, playing a little Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang have a good relationship, the two of them can be said to be good enough to wear a pair of pants, but as they get older, the reputation of the two is becoming more and more obvious, Pang Tong feels the pressure is endless, Fu Long and Phoenix Chicks, the dragon is always in front of the phoenix, Zhuge Liang is a talent, elegant and graceful, and he is the focus of attention when he goes there, but he Pang Tong describes obscene appearance and vulgarity, in the current social atmosphere of judging people by appearance, Pang Tong will always live in the shadow of Zhuge Liang.
Pang Tong has low self-esteem or is ashamed of his appearance, in short, when he was in Xiangyang, he always felt that he was a head shorter than Zhuge Liang, so he has traveled all over the world in the past few years, and from the depths of his heart, he still deliberately wants to avoid Zhuge Liang's aura and want to break out of the world by himself. This time he defected to Jiangdong, there has always been an expectation, a desire to get ahead, but when he saw Zhuge Liang in Jiangdong, Pang Tong's heart seemed to be a little cold, although he did not deliberately reveal this feeling.
Zhuge Liang was spurned by Zhou Yu, and Pang Tong couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart, what a godsend!
"Kong Ming, Kong Ming, it's not that I, Pang Tong, betrayed you, it's you who are arrogant and arrogant, and you can't be tolerated by Zhou Yu. The eldest husband is in the world, since he should build a career, today is my opportunity to become famous in the world, how can you disobey Zhou Yu? Don't blame me for being unrighteous, the people of the future will only know that there are phoenixes in the world but don't know that there is a sleeping dragon! Pang Tong thought to himself in his heart, his thinking became clearer and clearer, fame and wealth are in front of him, no matter what, he must seize it, as for Zhuge Liang's strategy, let it go to hell!
It was in an instant, Pang Tong's mind had gone through three rounds and six turns, and he had secretly made up his mind, people are not for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, and Zhuge Liang will inevitably be hostile to Zhou Yu, if he wants to take the position, he has to flatter Zhou Yu, as for Zhuge Liang's worries, maybe it's just that Zhuge Liang is too cautious, does Liu Ze have such profound wisdom, I don't think it maybe. The opportunity is right in front of you, you can't miss it, and you won't miss it again!
"The governor is worried, in fact, it is not difficult, although the commander is not talented, he has also learned the art of yin and yang celestial phenomena, the day after the end of the day and the moon, is the winter solstice, a yang restarts, the east wind will come, can help the governor to achieve his great success."
Zhou Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, grabbed Pang Tong's arm, and said in a lost voice: "Can this be taken seriously?" β
Pang Tong said solemnly: "How dare there be jokes in the army, the matter is serious, and the governor does not dare to coax the governor, if there is no east wind in three days, the governor can behead Pang Tong to correct the military law." β
"Good! Good! Good! Zhou Yu was so excited that he jumped up from the couch and almost danced.
Pang Tong eagerly persuaded: "Du Du's illness has not healed, and it is important to rest." β
Zhou Yu took Pang Tong's hand and said, "It's okay! Anyway! Listening to Shi Yuan's words, my illness has been cured for seven or eight points, and I am indescribably happy. Shi Yuan can recognize the east wind, it is really my Zhou Yu's luck, Jiangdong's blessing! Someone comes, quickly pass on the order of the governor, and summon the generals to deliberateβ"
Pang Tong hurriedly stopped: "The governor is too anxious, even if there is an east wind, it is a matter of the day after tomorrow, why do you need to send troops today?" The governor is not yet in good health, and he still needs to recuperate. β
Zhou Yu patted his forehead and said with a smile: "What Shi Yuan said is extremely true, it is Yu who was overjoyed and forgot for a while, this matter is indeed in a hurry, and it must be carefully planned." Shi Yuan, you have made such a great contribution this time, I will definitely ask for a reward for you, for the time being, you will stay in the Chinese army, serve as the post of Changshi, and give advice by my side, and wait for Liu Ze to be broken, Shi Yuan, you will be the first merit. β
Although the chief of the Chinese army is not a high-ranking official, he is the commander's think tank, and he participates in the core secrets of the army, and he is also a pivotal position in the army. When Pang Tong came, Zhou Yu granted him a confidential position, which shows his trust in Pang Tong. For Pang Tong, if he can get Zhou Yu's trust, then it will naturally not be difficult to soar in Jiangdong in the future, he can't help but be overjoyed and bow down to thank him.
Zhou Yu clasped his hands together and said: "Shiyuan will stay in my account today, you and I haven't seen each other for many days, so tonight I will hold a candle and talk about my feelings." He immediately ordered his subordinates to set up a banquet to entertain Pang Tong.
The next day, Zhou Yu first sent Huang Gai to come. Huang Gai entered the tent to pay respects, and Zhou Yu stepped forward to hold him and said, "The injury of the public cover stick has not healed, please do not salute." β
Huang Gai thanked him, and looked at Pang Tong next to him, because he didn't know Pang Tong, he naturally had doubts, thinking about what was the relationship between this person and the governor, and why he received such a high courtesy in the governor's account?
Zhou Yu introduced with a smile: "Come, public reply, let me introduce to you, this is Pang Shiyuan of Xiangyang Pangtong, Liu Ze's strategy of locking the boat is from Shiyuan's handwriting, yesterday Fang voted, I have appointed him as the commander of the Chinese army, and the two of you are so close." β
Pang Tong bowed and said: "At the end of Xiangyang, Pang Tong has seen General Huang, and I have heard for a long time that General Huang galloped across the battlefield. β
Huang Gai also returned the salute, but his mind was obviously still on Zhou Yu's side, and after a few cold words, he said to Zhou Yu: "The governor is summoned today, but will he take action?" β
Zhou Yu nodded and said: "Derun has sent the letter of fraud to Jiangbei, Liu Ze is convinced that the plan to attack Wulin by fire is already on the line, but without the help of the southeast wind, it will be difficult to succeed in the fire attack." Mr. Shiyuan had already expected that the southeast wind would blow the day after tomorrow, and it was a good opportunity for our army to send troops, so he sent a letter to Jiangbei to Liu Zeyan and led the fleet to surrender to him on the fourth watch day after tomorrow, and at the same time prepared twenty fast ships, containing sulfur, saltpeter, fire oil, reed grass and other fire-causing things, waiting for the general's order at any time, ready to go to the battle! β
"The last general obeys!" Huang Gai was overjoyed, turned around and retreated.
Before he could get out of the big tent, Zhou Yu called him back, because Zhou Yu saw that Huang Gai's steps were still a little staggering, the hundred military sticks were not child's play, for the sake of the realism of the fake play, each stick was beaten solidly, and Huang Gai's injuries were not light.
Zhou Yu said apologetically: "Gongfu's injury has not healed, but I have to take the injury to the expedition, I am worried, I don't know if Gongfu can afford it?" "If you change to other military affairs, you can also send other generals to fight, but this time it is Huang Gai who set up a bitter plan to deceive him, and others really can't replace him, although Huang Gai's stick wound has been treated by the best doctor in the army, and it will be raised for a few days, but after all, the time is still short, and this time on the battlefield, it is extremely dangerous, Zhou Yu is worried about whether Huang Gai can resist it.
Huang Gai smiled heartily and said, "Don't worry, the last general's body is not so squeamish, and this battle will definitely live up to the governor's expectations." β
Zhou Yu nodded gratefully and watched Huang Gai leave. After Huang Gai returned to the camp, he immediately sent Kan Ze over, discussed it, and Huang Gai wrote a letter by himself, and sent his henchmen across the river to Liu Ze.
As soon as the letter was sent, he received a summons from the Chinese army, Zhou Yu was promoted to general, and Huang Gai and Kan Ze hurried to the tent. (To be continued......)
