After Pang Tong left the Chaisang Recruitment Hall, he was extremely disappointed. Sun Quan's performance is satisfactory, Sun Quan does have the posture of a generation of heroes, and Sun Quan's talent and military strength are also the best among today's princes. It's a pity that Sun Quan attaches great importance to appearance, and people with ugly appearances can't get into his eyes!

"Alas! Kong Ming, you are still right! Pang Tong kicked away a small pebble next to him and shook his head helplessly, in the current situation, it seems that only Liu Bei can give it a try!

Pang Tong, like Zhuge Liang, wants to make a name for himself and serve Cao Cao, but he can't show his talent, except for Sun Quan, there is only Liu Bei.

At this time, Xinye was guarding the mansion, and Liu Bei was holding the account book of the new month, smiling from ear to ear. With the addition of Zhuge Liang, Liu Beijun's internal affairs have been greatly improved, and Zhuge Liang's policy of governing the country is really powerful, collecting displaced people in the north, opening trade routes in the south, thieves in Dongping, and Sichuan and Shu in the west, and governing Xinye tightly and orderly.

"Mr. Zhuge , this month's money and food are one percent more than last month!" Jian Yong took the account book and looked at Zhuge Liang in surprise, Zhuge Liang's internal political power was really different, and the small Xinye City was actually governed so richly, it was only a short month.

"Liang just borrowed the time of the day, and now the north is decided, and the people are uncertain, and they have taken refuge in the south, and Xinye is the only way. Ryo just did his part. Zhuge Liang humbly arched his hand and saluted Jian Yong in return.

"Mr. is so talented, if you have Mr., you will be able to achieve hegemony!"

"The lord praises it!"

"Mr. is talented, he can govern Xinye so well, Yong admires, but Mr. once said. Shinno can't be kept for a long time. But now it seems? Jian Yong has followed Liu Bei for many years. The four seas are home, and finally took root in Xinye for a long time, but Zhuge Liang said that Xinye can't be kept for a long time, isn't it a pity?

"Xianhe, Liang said that Xinye can't be defended for a long time, Hebei is the place where the lord has a foothold, this is the time of the day, no one can reverse it!" Of course, Zhuge Liang knew what Jian Yong thought. But Zhuge Liang's strategic deployment will not change, and Xinye can't stay for a long time, this is the vision of a strategist!

"Then why didn't Mr. deploy to Hebei? If Cao's army completes its rest, it will inevitably go south, and won't our army be in danger at that time? "As Liu Bei's first old man, of course he knew Zhuge Liang's plan, but Jian Yong felt that this plan was too bold, and he went deep into the hinterland of Cao Jun to return to Hebei, which was nine deaths and one life!

"That's right, sir. Xianhe's words are reasonable, and now the spies have been dispatched. Does our army also have to make some preparations, if our army is besieged in the Central Plains, then? Liu Bei also had doubts about Zhuge Liang's plan, it was too risky, if it didn't succeed, he would put himself in.

"Lord, Liang's strength lies in military strategy and governance, and conspiracy is not Liang's strength. Liang has a friend, good at scheming, and will never be under Cao Cao's strategist Guo Jia, as long as this person helps, Liang has absolute certainty to break through the encirclement of Cao's army and return to Hebei! Zhuge Liang smiled, at this time, Pang Tong should have taken a boat from Chaisang to Xinye.

"Oh? Who is the gentleman referring to? ”

"Lord, this person's surname is Pang Mingtong Shiyuan, and his name is Feng Xiao, he is Pang Degong's subordinate, and he is also Mr. Shuijing's protégé, Liang's friend, this person is good at scheming, surprise, with his strategy, plus Liang's strategy, the lord will be able to return to Hebei and re-establish his hegemony!"

"Oh? There is still such a talent, sir, so where is this Mr. Feng Xiao? ”

"Lord, Shi Yuan has gone to Chaisang's Recruitment Pavilion to serve Sun Quan."

"What? If Sun Quan reuses Mr. Feng Xiao, then prepare? Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, Zhuge Liang didn't say it in vain, Pang Tong went to Chaisang, would Sun Quan let this talent go?

"Lord, please rest assured, Sun Quan is extremely good-looking, Shi Yuan is ugly, short in stature, he will not be treated by Sun Quan, Shi Yuan is arrogant, if he can't vote for Sun Quan, he will come to serve the lord!" What Zhuge Liang is best at is figuring out people's hearts, Pang Tong will definitely come to serve Liu Bei, Pang Tong will come, and he will not be able to leave.

"Oh, Mr. Feng Chia?" Liu Bei glanced at Zhuge Liang suspiciously, according to Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong would have to look so ugly that Sun Quan would be disgusted. Zhuge Liang is a beautiful man, and his classmates and friends are ugly men?

"Lord, Shi Yuan's appearance is indeed indecent, different from ordinary people, so although Shi Yuan is talented, he is not allowed to be reused, please remember that Shi Yuan is the most taboo for others to mention his appearance." Zhuge Liang took the opportunity to give Liu Bei a vaccination, Pang Tong was ugly, and hoped that Liu Bei would not expose his shortcomings, otherwise he would attract Pang Tong's displeasure.

"Well, Bei knows, Bei was born cold, what kind of people have seen it, ugly people, Bei is always in company, Mr. rest assured, if Mr. Feng Xiao is really talented, Bei will definitely be heavy, use it!" Liu Bei smiled, if the foundation is gone, what kind of ugly appearance can he talk about, as long as Pang Tong has the ability, even if it is a toad, Liu Bei will treat him as a countryman! This is Liu Beiren's charm, no matter who he treats, Liu Bei is not angry, even if he resents a person, Liu Bei will treat him with courtesy.

"The lord is wise!"

Pang Tong took a fast boat from Chaisang and arrived in Xinye in less than seven days. After arriving in Xinye, Pang Tong did not go directly to meet Liu Bei, but stayed in Xinye to listen to the news, and it was not until Zhuge Liang sent Liu Biao and Sun Quan that Pang Tong went to Taishou Mansion.

Dawn departed, before the dawn arrived. Pang Tong came to Xinye Taishou Mansion, and Liu Bei also recruited talents in Xinye, but because Xinye City was small, Xinye's recruitment hall was set up in Taishou Mansion.

"May I ask why Mr. is here, this is the Shinno Taishou Mansion." Before Pang Tong came to the Xinye Taishou Mansion, a soldier stepped forward to ask.

"Huh?" Pang Tong was stunned for a moment, and he had heard for a long time that Corporal Liu Bei Lixian was the leader of the princes, and he could treat people with courtesy no matter what they were born in. originally thought it was just a rumor, but the soldiers of the Xinye Taishou Mansion impressed Pang Tong.

The so-called rich man has a vicious dog in front of the door, and the servants of the family are disgusted with the cold door. In the Han Dynasty, as long as it is a powerful family, the gatekeepers are all arrogant, how can anyone ask such questions? In Chaisang Mansion, Sun Quan's personal guards are still holding the official frame.

"Under the surname Chu Mingyue, a person from Jingzhou, I heard that General Zuo is recruiting talents here. Special to work. Pang Tong kept a heart. Zhuge Liang is here. If he reported his real name, I am afraid that Liu Bei would have already confessed and tried it with a fake name.

"It turned out to be Mr. Chu, please let Mr. in, and the villain will report to the lord." The soldier handed the spear to a comrade next to him and led Pang Tong into the inner hall.

Pang Tong followed the soldiers, but he was already secretly surprised in his heart that this person didn't check his identity. And he led himself in. This kind of benevolence is not possessed by any prince. It seems that the rumors of Liu Bei Rende are indeed true, when he met Sun Quan, he was interrogated, and after several days, he was met by Sun Quan.

The so-called benevolent person is a benevolent and righteous person who has no loss in his heart and dares to treat the man with love. No matter the birth of a scholar, no matter the grievances of a scholar. A true benevolent person treats everyone with the same standards. No matter the person's birth, or what kind of grudge the person has with him.

Pang Tong sat in the side hall, drinking tea, waiting for Liu Bei's summons. Hearing that Liu Bei was benevolent and righteous before, even the killers sent by others felt his kindness and gave up the assassination. Originally, it was just a rumor, but now it seems that Liu Beizhi's benevolence is indeed rare, that is, it is pretended, and he is also a male master, who can fake benevolence to such an extent, his scheming city government is definitely no less than Sun Quan!

"Mr. Chu, my lord, please go to the front hall."

"Hmm!" Pang Tong tidied up his clothes and came to the main hall with the guards, only to see Liu Bei sitting on the seat, a scribe serving on the side, and some civil servants and military generals lined up on the left and right.

"Lord, Mr. Chu brought it."

"Hmm." Liu Bei nodded and motioned for the soldiers to go down.

"Jingzhou Chuyue has seen General Zuo!" Pang Tong gave Liu Bei a flat salute.

What an ugly man! Liu Bei saw Pang Tong's appearance and figure, and was stunned for a moment, this person looks so ugly, is it a phoenix?

Liu Bei was born in a humble background, compared to Sun Quan and Cao Cao, he did not have the habits of the children of the family, and the experience of the poor family was higher than that of Sun Quan and Cao Cao, although he was amazed in his heart, but there was no expression on his face, and even Pang Tong could not see through Liu Bei's thoughts.

"Mr. Chu, please take a seat!" Liu Bei motioned for the guards to bring a chair to Pang Tong.

"General Xie!" Pang Tong was also polite and sat down. Pang Tong glanced at the civil and military forces beside Liu Bei, and was stunned for a moment in his heart, these people's faces were majestic, and there was no trace of slackness. These are two different momentum from Sun Quan's civil and military forces, Sun Quan's civil and military momentum is soft, the lord and the civil and military seem to get along more casually, but in Liu Bei's place, it is an absolute authority, the lord has no orders, and the civil and military forces can't move! Domineering! Liu Bei's domineering is much stronger than Sun Quan's, and he is still domineering with softness!

"Who is the gentleman? Why did you come to my Shinno Taishou Mansion? After Pang Tong sat down, Liu Bei began to ask questions.

"Returning to General Zuo, in Changsha, his ancestral hometown, he came to Xiangyang to study when he was young, and now he has learned something, and he heard that the general is recruiting talents, and he has come to serve." Pang Tong arched his hand and replied to Liu Bei.

"I don't know what Mr. Chu has learned?"

"I'm good at scheming and making suggestions, I'm afraid everyone here can't be out of my right!" Pang Tong waved his hand and glanced at the civil and military forces present.

"What an arrogant tone, let General Ben test you!" Guan Yu was arrogant, and after hearing Pang Tong's words, he immediately attacked, such an arrogant boy.

"Please ask the general!"

"The enemy army is 300,000, our army is 30,000, and the plains are facing each other, how can we win by plotting?"

"Retire the army and find another fighter!"

"Retirement? Hahahaha, this is also called being good at scheming? ”

"Confrontation on the plains, our army has no danger to defend, and the enemy army is hoarding grain on the plains, and it is not possible to sneak attack. It is the best policy to retreat and find another fighter, and the general asks the question, is it necessary to be imaginative and not according to reality? ”

"Good! Sure enough, the enemy army is 300,000, and the 30,000 besieged our army in the gourd valley, how to plot to break the enemy? ”

"Abandon the mouth of the valley, out of the tail, deploy 10,000 soldiers to choose a wide place to meet the enemy, left and right mountains, 10,000 soldiers each, and hold the danger. It is difficult for the enemy army to enter the valley, it is easy to get out of the valley, and the enemy army will be defeated when the enemy army goes out of the valley to attack it! Pang Tong confidently answered Guan Yuzhi's question.

Then Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Chen Zhi asked Pang Tong questions respectively, and Pang Tong answered fluently, Liu Bei looked at Pang Tong's answer, and was secretly surprised in his heart, he didn't expect this person to be so quick in thinking.

"I wonder what other questions the generals have?" was angry on Sun Quan's side, and when he came to Liu Bei, he finally raised his eyebrows.

"Mr. Chu is really a wise man, I admire him, but what Mr. said is a battle of tongues, the battlefield is changing rapidly, if Mr. is really talented. It will definitely be reused. Only now. I still want to grieve Mr., how about asking Mr. Chu to take up the position of joining the army in my house? Liu Bei saw Pang Tong's eloquence, but this is just the appearance, whether there is real talent or not, it will take time to confirm.

"Thank you, General!" After being ridiculed and returned by Sun Quan, and returning a member of the army at Liu Bei's place, Pang Tong was determined to stay here to observe Liu Bei.

"Hmm!" Liu Bei waved his hand and signaled that everyone could retreat.

"Mr. Chu. My lord invites you to dinner! A subordinate came to Pang Tong's bedroom and told Pang Tong to go to dinner.

"Well, I'll be there later!" It has been half a month since Pang Tong came to Xinye, and these days have made Pang Tong realize Liu Bei's benevolence again, which is quite popular with the people, and the generals are united. Take the aspect of food as an example, Liu Bei will gather the civil and military to eat together every time he eats, and he can also discuss current affairs from time to time.

This is Liu Beijun's advantage and Liu Beijun's disadvantage. There are not many talents. In addition to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the generals are Zhao Yun. Chen arrived. On the Wenchen side, there are only three people: Jian Yong, Sun Qian, and Mi Zhu. Everyone can't make a big table when they eat together!

"Lord!" Pang Tong came to the main hall, and Liu Bei and the others had already begun to eat. This is Liu Beijun's rule, whoever arrives first, who eats, does not have to take into account the courtesy of the monarch and ministers.

"Mr. Chu is here, sit down and eat!" Liu Bei looked up at Pang Tongyi's eyes, gave an order, and continued to hold the chopsticks and lie on the rice in the bowl. This is Liu Beijun's rules, eat casually, Pang Tong was not used to it at first, after all, he was a person from the Pang family, but after a few days, Pang Tong became more and more accustomed to it, this Liu Bei, to his own taste!

"Thank you, my lord!" Pang Tong arched his hand and sat down to eat.

"Third brother, why hasn't the soup come up yet? Go and rush! Liu Bei pointed with chopsticks, and Zhang Fei immediately understood and left the table.

"My lord, please use it!" Soon, a maid came to the main hall with several bowls of soup. Delivered to everyone separately.

"Huh?!" The maid handed the soup to Pang Tong and shouted, Pang Tong's appearance is too ugly, how can there be such an ugly person in Taishoufu?

"The general spares his life, the general spares his life, the adult spares his life, the adult spares his life!" The maid splashed the soup on Pang Tong's sleeve and hurriedly kowtowed, expressing her plea to Liu Bei and Pang Tong.

"This?" Pang Tong was stunned for a moment, he was like this, he also knew it, usually many women were frightened, and the maid's constant kowtow made Pang Tong at a loss.

"You're the new maid?" Liu Bei put down the dishes and chopsticks and asked.

"Yes, General Hui, I'm new here, yes." When the maid saw Liu Bei asking, she was nervous and stammered.

"It turned out to be a newcomer, Mr. Chu, this woman doesn't know Mr., she is abrupt, please don't be surprised by the thin noodles that Mr. has prepared." Liu Bei sincerely asked Pang Tong if he could let this woman go.

"Yue is afraid, since it is not intentional, Yue naturally will not blame, you can clean up here and retreat." Pang Tong waved his hand and motioned for the maid to retreat after cleaning up.

"Thank you, General, thank you, sir." After the maid cleaned up the soup quickly, she made a big bow and withdrew.

"Sir?!"

"Lord, there is something hidden in my heart in the month, I don't know the lord?" Pang Tong was stimulated by the maid, his appearance, does Liu Bei really not mind? Or did Kong Ming have an explanation, which Liu Bei pretended?

"Mr. Chu may as well speak out, and he will definitely solve his doubts!"

"Lord, the appearance of the moon is hated by ordinary people, doesn't the lord feel that the appearance of the moon is ugly? Why wasn't the lord a little surprised? Pang Tong recalled the process of meeting Liu Bei at this time, he was too comfortable, this is too abnormal, if it is other princes, even if the monarch treats him, but Wenwu will definitely pick a little thorn out.

"Hahahaha! Mr. Chu asked Bei to tell the truth? Liu Bei smiled slightly and looked at Pang Tongyi.

"Please tell the truth!" Even if Zhuge Liang confessed and Liu Bei pretended, Pang Tong would also work for Liu Bei, because Liu Bei was a monarch who would take care of his appearance.

"Mr. Chu's appearance is indeed ugly, but Mr. Bei and Mr. are the same kind of people, how can they care about Mr.'s appearance?" Liu Bei shook his head helplessly, his figure was also the material that was ridiculed.

"My lord?" Pang Tong was stunned for a moment, although Liu Bei's appearance is not handsome, but he can't be regarded as an ugly person!

"Shiyuan, look!" Liu Bei stood up, his hands vertical, and shook it. Full of the image of a northern wild ape. According to historical records, Liu Bei's hands are over his knees, which is different from ordinary people, who can put his hands on his knees? There are only apes that have not yet evolved.

"Shi Yuan, Bei is a northern wild ape, Shi Yuan is a southern black monkey, they are all the same clan!" Liu Bei patted Pang Tong and laughed.

I see! Pang Tong only noticed the strangeness of Liu Bei's appearance at this time, and it seemed that Liu Bei was often ridiculed when he was young.

"Hahahaha, Southern Black Monkey? Thank you for the name! For the first time, this was the first time that Pang Tong admitted his ugliness in front of everyone, and he also joked with Liu Bei.

"Shi Yuan, look at Yun Chang, red-faced monkey buttocks!" Liu Bei pointed to Guan Yu's red face and joked, Guan Gong's face was indeed like a monkey's red ass!

"Big brother!" When Guan Yu heard Liu Bei's words, he shook his head helplessly, and his red face was also a taboo.

"The lord is wise!" After Pang Tong listened to Liu Bei's description, he also laughed. It seems that Liu Bei really doesn't mind his appearance, because Liu Bei is a person who looks different from ordinary people, and when he is cold, he must have received a lot of discrimination!

"Please punish the Lord!" Pang Tong suddenly knelt in front of Liu Bei. Since Liu Bei treats each other sincerely, Pang Tong can no longer deceive Liu Bei.

"Mr. Chu, what is this?"

"Lord, I am not called Chu Yue in the next, but I am surnamed Pang Mingtong and Zi Shiyuan."

"Mr. Feng Chia?"

"Please punish the Lord!"

"Mr. is talented, how can Bei be such a small-bellied person, with the help of Mr., Bei will definitely be able to fight against Cao Cao in the north and re-establish the foundation!" Liu Bei hurriedly helped Pang Tong up, the corners of his mouth twitched, Wolong? Phoenix chicks? The wise men of the world, but they are too young!

Since then, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong have become Liu Bei's left and right military advisors and Liu Bei's right-hand men. (To be continued......)
