Chapter 170: 'Buy' Pan Zhang

"Old man Zhen, I've already said everything I need to say. My father-in-law came with sincerity, and I asked the old man to think about it. If not...... Hehe......"

Xun You slowly took a sip of the tea in the cup, and then said leisurely.

"How can a mere second son of the Yuan family be compared to my father-in-law? Even if it is Yuan Shao, who has to exterminate Yuan Shu and deal with Montenegro, can he still be the enemy of my lord? What's more, the lord of my family is the Jizhou pastor who was personally sealed by the Son of Heaven, and Yuan Shao stole according to Jizhou, and now the Yuan family has a big rebel like Yuan Shu, and the reputation of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family has been completely ruined, and the old man should also understand. ”

I have to say that Xun You has a villain temperament who forces good people to become prostitutes at this time.

"This ......"

But for Xun You's words, the Zhen family did not have much anger, but a deep sense of powerlessness.

The people of the Zhen family are not stupid, they understand the meaning of Xun You's arrival this time, but they also know that once they agree, it means betraying Yuan Shao, and it is very difficult to say what the consequences will be when the time comes.

The Zhen family in Zhongshan, even if Wei Tao and Yuan Shao start a war, it is impossible to fight to Zhongshan County so quickly, what will the Zhen family do when the time comes?

As for still responding to the Yuan family, but Yuan Shao is now surrounded by enemies as Xun Yu said, and the reputation of the Yuan family is also greatly damaged.

The Zhen family is very embarrassed, in fact, it is not only the Zhen family that is embarrassed, but also the entire Jizhou.

Wei Tao has already expressed his intention to enter Jizhou, and he will definitely put it into the military in the end, and Wei Tao is now very famous. There has never been a defeat in the battle. Even the Huns were defeated by Wei Tao. Now that it has been spread, it naturally makes people feel terrified.

At this time, in Yecheng, after getting the news, all the civil and military generals gathered, but the two young men sat at the top.

"The third son of Qiyu, although Wei Tao is brave, he only knows that Lu Dao is blindly murderous. Just now it was lost in the war with the Huns, and I don't know that I want to invade Jizhou again to recuperate, and this is a dead end! ”

As soon as a scribe arched his hand, he said, this person is none other than Yuan Shao's henchmen and advisers.

"Wei Tao came this time, he must be leading the whole army of Bingzhou, but it is only one or two hundred thousand ears. If Gongzi can lead the troops to battle at this time and break it in one fell swoop, it can not only be seen that the main prince can be credited with it, and the main prince will be cleared of future troubles, but also can counterattack into the annexed state in one fell swoop. Directly take the annexed state. ”

"Correct the difference between Nan's words!"

Although the strategists under Yuan Shao's command are all wise, they are not convinced by each other. Seeing that the trial match opened his mouth and wanted Yuan Shang to lead the troops into battle, a strategist immediately stood up to oppose it.

This person is also Yuan Shao's confidant and strategist, Guo Tu.

"Not to mention that Wei Tao is good at fighting, and he can win every battle, just now, the lord is the master who will transfer the elite soldiers of Jizhou to the front line in Yangzhou, if he turns back at this time, won't he waste money and food? Once a war with Wei Tao starts, who can be the enemy? Now it should be based on stubbornness. The lord is very popular in Jizhou, if Wei Tao can be shaken, with the thick walls of the city, Wei Tao must be inferior, and then wait until his food is exhausted, send troops and pursue, he will be defeated, and then drive directly into the state, and he can get the land of the state! ”

"Humph! That Wei Tao is very good at using soldiers, how can he not be well prepared, so persistent, how long will he hold on? After a long time, doesn't it make people feel that the lord is not as good as Wei Tao? ”

The judge immediately angrily reprimanded Guo Tu, and when he heard this, the two brothers Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang, who were sitting at the top, looked a little embarrassed and angry.

Yuan Shao has the best face, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang are their sons, and so is it, when they heard that Yuan Shao was not as good as Wei Tao, they were immediately annoyed.

"Humph! You don't have to be alarmist. The land of the annexed state is vast and sparsely populated, and even if there is a lot of grain, how much grain is produced? Insist on holding on for a few months at most, and Wei Tao will retreat! When the time comes, you don't have to spend a lot of money on food and soldiers, you can easily merge the state, how can the world not praise the lord and have a son? ”

The trial is powerful, and Guo Tu is also not weak, so he immediately retorted.

"On the contrary, it's you, now that the Lord is just using troops, if you attack in a hurry, even if you can win, under the impact of the cavalry of that state, how many soldiers will I have to hurt in Jizhou? If you ruin the lord's affairs for the sake of a mere Wei Tao, can you bear it? ”

With the trial and Guo Tu opening their mouths and fighting again and again, other people also opened their mouths, or supported the trial or Guo Tu, which can be described as a lot of quarrels.

In fact, it will be so, and it is also related to Yuan Shao.

Everyone knows that Yuan Shao is now in the prime of life, and he also has three sons, and the three sons are all adults, but Yuan Shao has not established his heir.

According to common sense, the heir is naturally the eldest son Yuan Tan, but Yuan Shao prefers the third son Yuan Shang, but the reputation of abolishing Chang Liyu is really not good, so Yuan Shao did not do it immediately.

Therefore, Yuan Shao's subordinates are also divided into several factions, each supporting one person, among which the trial is to support Yuan Shang, so he wants Yuan Shang to lead the army to the expedition so as to make great contributions.

It is natural to abolish the long and young, but the abolition of the long and the virtuous is impossible to say anything.

It's just that Guo Tu also knows the idea of trial, but Guo Tu supports Yuan Tan, and now he is naturally obstructed.

Of course, if it's just that, it's nothing, but Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang are also as scheming and indecisive as Yuan Shao, and they don't know what to do when the two factions are fighting each other.

It can be said that for Wei Tao's response for a while, the people here are completely unable to rely on it.

Contrary to the Yuan clan of Jizhou, after Wei Tao's order, Bingzhou was already moving with all his strength and began to prepare for the invasion of Jizhou.

At this time, Zhou Yu also returned in a hurry.

"The elder brother wants to seize the state, and it seems that the younger brother has come back at the right time."

As soon as he entered the hall, Zhou Yu said with a smile, and then introduced the person next to him to Wei Tao.

"This time I went south to Jingxiang and saw a lot of heroes and heroes, but unfortunately they all thought that I was useless in the north, so I hesitated to come. This Pan Zhang, Pan Wenqi, fell in love with his younger brother, and was willing to join his brother under the persuasion of his younger brother. ”

"Pan Zhang has seen the lord."

The sturdy man immediately stepped forward and bowed to Wei Tao and said.

"Lord Qi. Although Pan Zhang grew up in the south. But the cavalry's ability to fight is by no means weak. Even if it is cavalry and infantry, it will not be inferior to others, and please know it. ”

For Pan Zhang to be so straightforward, Wei Tao didn't mind at all.

After all, Wei Tao can understand that the character of martial artists has always been like this, and Wei Tao can also think of it, I am afraid that this is also Pan Zhang's fear that he will think that he can only fight in the water.

"Huh...... I was also from the army, and when I saw General Pan, I knew that the general was a brave man and could be trusted. But the general has just arrived, and I can't respond to it in a high position. How about being a lieutenant first? ”

Wei Tao immediately smiled and said, saying that he would not respond to it with a high position, but for Pan Zhang, who was white, he was directly appointed as a captain, which was unprecedented.

"Thank you for your attention! Thank you Gongjin for recommending! ”

Pan Zhang naturally knew it, and immediately raised his eyebrows, bowed to Wei Tao again and again, and then thanked Zhou Yu.

Obviously, in Pan Zhang's view, this is also why Wei Tao attaches so much importance to Zhou Yu's face.

"Huh...... The general is also a Zhilu Dao, and now I am the pastor of Jizhou, but Yuan Shao steals Jizhou. Therefore, I am afraid that it is inevitable to use swords, and the first time the general comes is when he needs to make meritorious contributions. Time is of the essence, and I am afraid that the general will need to act immediately. ”

Wei Tao smiled and didn't explain, the reason why he was directly appointed as a lieutenant was naturally because Pan Zhang himself was also a figure who would go down in history.

Pan Zhangke is also a famous general of Soochow in history.

"No! Pan Zhang will definitely live up to the expectations of the lord! ”

Hearing that there was a war, Pan Zhang was even more excited, but he knew that if he wanted to gain a firm foothold quickly, that is, he would be able to win a few battles, so he immediately clasped his fists and saluted.

"Since that's the case, there's not much time, so I'll ask Wen Jue to prepare quickly."

"No!"

Pan Zhang also knows that fighting is not child's play, not to mention that Pan Zhang has just arrived, and he has no prestige in the army at all, Wei Tao's order is exactly what Pan Zhang's mind is, although Pan Zhang is a newcomer, but he can't help but be very grateful to Wei Tao in his heart.

"How did Gong Jin persuade Pan Wenqi to come to the same place?"

After Pan Zhang went down, Wei Tao asked Zhou Yu with a smile.

"I see that although he is brave, he dares to come to a land of thousands of miles, but he ignores the solicitation of Sun Ce, Cao Cao and others, and Gongjin has also put a lot of effort into it, right?"

Even if they want to take refuge, it is very rare that someone will rush from the land of Jingxiang to come to Bingzhou to meet them.

Originally, even Wei Tao didn't have much expectations for Zhou Yu's trip, but he didn't expect Zhou Yu to really give him a surprise.

"Huh...... It's a coincidence. ”

Hearing Wei Tao's question, Zhou Yu immediately chuckled.

"My original intention in this trip was to observe the strength of the Jingxiang Naval Army, and also to see the famous Jiangdong Xiaoba Sun Ce, but I didn't want to meet Pan Wenqi in Jiujiang, when Pan Wenqi was penniless, but he ate and drank in the hotel, and was hated by the hotel shopkeeper. I saw that he had some courage, so I knew the wine account for him, and I got acquainted with him. ”

"If that's the case, I'm afraid he won't come with Gong Jin, right?"

Wei Tao smiled slightly, knowing that Zhou Yu still had the following.

"Brother, the fruit is clear. At that time, Pan Wenqi was preparing to serve Nasun Ce, and with his bravery, he could be any uncle and other positions as soon as he joined the army, which was why the shopkeeper tolerated him. However, during the conversation, I found that he was quite greedy for money, that is, he used wealth as a lure, and then said that the lord attached great importance to it. ”

Wei Tao understood this, no wonder Zhou Yu's face was a little weird, it turned out that this Pan Zhang was almost equivalent to being 'bought' by Zhou Yu with money!

"Gong Jin is a businessman, I am afraid that he will also be a wealthy businessman in the world, and he can get Gong Jin's help, fortunately! Luckily! ”

Thinking of this, even with Wei Tao's current temperament, he couldn't help but shake his head and said softly.

If you can buy such a military general with money, I am afraid that the princes of the world will not be stingy, but how many situations like this are there?

Anyway, with Wei Tao's current powerful position, he has only seen Pan Zhang's example now.

"Gong Jin, now you also know that I want to take Jizhou, connect Jizhou and Merge Prefecture together, thinking that in the future to meet the enemy Xiongnu in response, I don't know if you think it should be at this time?"

"It's the right time."

Hearing Wei Tao talk about business with a straight face, the smile on Zhou Yu's face immediately ended, and he also replied in a righteous voice.

"If there are many princes fighting today, if the state does not make a plan early, it will be planned by others, even if it is not mentioned by the public this time, after I return, I must also suggest it to the lord."

"I don't know what Gong Jin can do?"

Wei Tao nodded slightly, and then asked directly.

"United Montenegrin Army."

Zhou Yu already knew about Xun You's proposal before, so he didn't say much, but directly said what Xun You didn't say.

"No matter how the Montenegrin army is in Youzhou, but under Yuan Shao's blow, the foundation of Jizhou has been defeated and retreated one after another, and most of Jizhou has fallen into the hands of Yuan Shao, which is an indisputable fact. If it weren't for the plot of the Son of Heaven, I am afraid that it is very likely that the Black Mountain Army will withdraw from Jizhou. ”

"Will the Montenegrin Army unite with us?"

Wei Tao didn't say a word, his goal is also Jizhou, and sooner or later he will be the enemy of the Montenegrin army, and Zhang Ning's eyes can't see this?

"Brother, this matter is not difficult, although Yuan Shao is now transferring the elite soldiers and good generals to the front line in Yangzhou, but the battle between the Montenegrin Army and the Montenegrin Army in Jizhou has never stopped, if it is really unwilling, then our army will attack the Montenegrin Army first, and after the Montenegrin Army is expelled from Jizhou, how about a duel with the Yuan Army?"

Zhou Yu smiled slightly, and said calmly.

"The reason why Gongda didn't say anything about the Black Mountain Army is probably to wait for me to return. After all, I have an old relationship with the Montenegrin army, and I am the only one who is best suited to talk to them. ”

Hearing Zhou Yu's words, Wei Tao understood why Xun Yu didn't say much about the Black Mountain Army, it turned out that he was waiting for Zhou Yu to arrive.

"Gong Jin is sure?"

For Zhou Yu, Wei Tao naturally believes it, but he still has to ask at this time.

"It's indeed certain, but today's Black Mountain Army is constantly absorbing the original Yellow Turban Daoists, I'm afraid it will not remember the master's ability, so it needs to borrow someone from the lord to help."

Zhou Yu replied with a slight smile, revealing a sense of confidence in his tone.

"Okay, I don't know who it is?"

Wei Tao directly responded first, and then asked.

"Dian Wei."

"Dian Wei, you are with Gong Jin, remember, Gong Jin's words are my words. And if there is anything wrong, you should protect Gongjin back first, and other things can be put aside. ”

Hearing that it was to Dian Wei, Wei Tao couldn't help but feel slightly relieved, with Dian Wei's help, he didn't think there would be any problems, and immediately gave an order to Dian Wei beside him.

"No! Dian Wei obeys! ”

Pawn Wei immediately answered the order! (To be continued......)
