Chapter 388: Messenger Messenger
Pang Tong returned to his courtyard after coming out of the Taishou Mansion in Xiangyang, he did not live in the post station, that is because their Pang family was originally a scholar clan in Jingzhou, and naturally had additional housing and property in Xiangyang City, and the place where Pang Tong stayed now was in a courtyard of the Pang family.
The Pang family is worthy of being a great family in Jingzhou, such a courtyard is located in the inner city of Xiangyang City, and the land price is worth thousands of gold and luxury Cheng DΓΉ, although it is a little worse than the Taishou Mansion, but there is no less in other aspects.
"Second Young Master, you're back!" Pang Tongyi entered the courtyard, and naturally there were domestic servants and housekeepers who came to greet him.
"Where's my big brother!" Pang Tong asked the butler on the side.
"Young Master, you should be in the study now!" The housekeeper put his posture very low, he is the old man of the Pang family, he has been in the Pang family for a long time, he naturally has a bookish taste, the prime minister's door is a seven-rank official, this old housekeeper is also the number one person in Jingzhou, even if some county captains see him, they call Fu Bo and give him some face, but this Fu Bo is now very humble to the second young master of his family, because he knows that this Pang family may eventually fall on the second young master.
Seeing that Pang Tong's face looked like he was discussing important matters, Fu Bo couldn't help asking, "Do you want me to inform the eldest young master!" β
"No need! I'll go myself! Pang Tong walked directly in the direction of the study, and when he entered the study, his eldest brother was reading there.
Pang Tong's eldest brother is not Pang Tong's own brother, but Pang Tong's cousin, the son of Pang Tong's uncle Pang Degong. During the Three Kingdoms period, people's names were all two-character names. The three words are only available to some barbarians. For example, Hu Cheer and the like, the other three characters will only have a compound surname if the surname is a compound surname!
And Pang Degong named his son Shanmin, which shows his courage.
Pang Shanmin, Pang Shanmin, and his name is the same, this Pang family's eldest young master is as simple as a mountain man.
"Shiyuan, are you back?" Pang Shanmin put down the scroll in his hand and looked at his younger brother in front of him, they participated in Liu Biao's deliberations in Jingzhou together, but Liu Biao left Pang Tong behind him thinking that he was discussing the issue of grain and grass.
"Liu Jingzhou agreed!" Pang Shanmin asked.
"Hmm!" Pang Tong nodded: "Liu Jingzhou promised to give 200,000 grains and grass as food. 100,000 military rations will be transported first, and the rest will be transported after the Yangzhou army of the puppet king Liu Mang is retreated! Pang Tong said that his face was beaming with joy here, with this batch of grain and grass, the lord can be replenished, with Liu Biao such a big boss to raise, Liu Bei is still afraid that there will be no military rations! Liu Mang is expanding the army, and Liu Bei is also expanding the army.
Because Hu Che'er is a Qiang person, he has a previous path, and he can find those Qiang people who are strong enough to join Liu Beijun, and these Qiang people are all good at riding and shooting. Those who are on horseback all the year round can be used as elites as soon as they enter the army. People can be found, but there is a lack of food, and now that the problem of food and salary has been solved, the expansion of the army will not be a problem.
"In this way, Liu Yuanjun should be worry-free!" Pang Shanmin is also happy for his younger brother, Pang Shanmin has been influenced by his father Pang Degong since he was a child. The most admired people of benevolence and righteousness, and Liu Bei's reputation was originally very good, and then under the propaganda of his younger brother Pang Tong, Liu Bei was really worshipped, Liu Bei was able to get the full help of the Pang family, which included the credit of Pang Shanmin.
Now Pang Shanmin is waiting for his younger brother to introduce him to Liu Yuanjun so that he can work for Liu Yuanjun.
"Worry-free?!" Pang Tong looked at his brother but disagreed, because Pang Tong now had a pimple in his heart, that is, the envoy sent by Liu Biao, what would it look like if this envoy arrived in Liu Mang's army.
Pang Tong could see that this Liu Biao didn't want to start a war with Liu Mang in Yangzhou at all, what Liu Mang wanted was grain and grass! If the envoy sent by him Liu Biao arrived in Liu Mang's camp to discuss, then he might have lost all his efforts, so Pang Tong found the location of this messenger, and only by letting this messenger disappear could he really have no worries, and he might know who this messenger was by relying on his good brother.
"Big Brother Qishan hasn't seen him for a long time, how is he lately?!" What Liu Bei's intelligence department in Pang Tong's hands can only find out is that Liu Biao's envoy is a close friend of his eldest brother, Tang Yun, Tang Qishan, and others, such as when the route of this envoy's action will come out, and which way to go, whether to go directly to Liu Mang's army, or to Shouchun or Lujiang Wancheng, these have not been inquired.
And this information will be known except for Liu Biao and Kuai Yue, and the rest is probably his brother.
The relationship between Tang Qishan and his brother Pang Shanmin is irreversible, and if the two travel far away, they will definitely inform each other.
"You Brother Qishan?!" Pang Shanmin is a little strange, how did this second brother think of Tang Qishan today, this Tang Qishan is very handsome, talking and laughing is a kind of gentleman's demeanor, and Pang Shanmin has a bad relationship, but the relationship with this second brother is not very good, that is because of the beauty of Tang Qishan and Pang Shanmin and Pang Tong when they travel, because Tang Qishan and Pang Tong are completely two extremes, Tang Qishan is handsome and up to, more than eight feet long, and Pang Tong, black and fat and short, every time he goes out, others regard Pang Tong as a servant of Tang Qishan's family, Even if Pang Tong was wearing gorgeous clothes, others thought that Tang Qishan was generous and treated the servants at home with brocade clothes.
So although this Tang Qishan did not directly offend Pang Tong, it indirectly made Pang Tong resentful in his heart, so where there is Tang Qishan, there is no Pang Tong, and it can even be said that Pang Tong deliberately avoided Tang Qishan, but now Pang Tong mentioned his best friend, which made Pang Shanmin very puzzled.
"Shiyuan, aren't you Heqishan?!" Pang Shanmin asked suspiciously.
Pang Tong and Tang Qishan are not in touch, in order not to make his eldest brother suspicious, he Pang Tong said with a smile, "Big brother, this time Liu Jingzhou prepared grain and grass for Xuande Gong, maybe after a few times, I will go back to Yuzhou, I don't know when I will meet next time, so I want to get together with my eldest brother and Brother Qishan" Tang Qishan can be regarded as small Pang Tong no matter how he says, this is ancient and not modern, not a phone call can be contacted regardless of thousands of miles apart, nor can there be planes and cars that can not care about the distance.
This is ancient times, hundreds of kilometers, this farewell may be decades later when we meet next time, or some people have become goodbye forever because of medical problems, so the friendship between friends is very heavy, like those popular poems of friends are to describe the pain of parting.
Hearing that his younger brother was going to get together with his best friend, the two resolved the unhappiness for many years, Pang Shanmin was still very happy, "If Brother Qishan knows that Shiyuan is so concerned about him, he must be very happy!" "Happy? Of course, Pang Tong is worried about the death of this Tang Qi Mountain.
Pang Shanmin's face showed a pity: "It's a pity, your brother Qishan has Liu Jingzhou's mission this time, and he is sent to Yangzhou!" β
"Huh?!" Pang Tong heard what his eldest brother said, and his eyes immediately lit up, sure enough, this envoy of Jingzhou was Tang Yun Tang Qishan, Liu Mang endured the excitement in his heart, and continued to say with a calm pretence of regret, "In this way, I originally wanted to go on an outing and hunting with Brother Qishan, but unfortunately I missed such an opportunity, and I don't know how many years it will be when we meet next time, maybe it will be impossible in this life!" Pang Tongyi's face is lonely, which makes Pang Shanmin, as his elder brother, very uncomfortable, his younger brother is now under the command of Liu Yuanjun in Yuzhou, and Tang Yun is under the command of Liu Biao in Jingzhou, the two of them are their own masters, and now it is okay if Liu Jingzhou and Liu Yuanjun are unhappy, then this farewell is a lifetime.
didn't hold back for a while, Pang Shanmin opened his mouth and said, "Your brother Qishan will go Luokou...!" As soon as Pang Shanmin came out, he immediately felt that he was talking too much, so he hurriedly stopped talking, and then looked at his younger brother, for fear that his younger brother would hear something.
"Hey, I still remember the scene when Brother Qishan and Big Brother played together!" Pang Tong seemed to be caught in his own world, and he was still there regretting that some tears appeared on his face, looking at his younger brother like this, Pang Shanmin breathed a sigh of relief, you must know that although Pang Tong is his younger brother, but Pang Shanmin has his own principles, he is now an official of Liu Jingzhou, so naturally he can't fall into Liu Biao's secret, not to mention that Tang Yun is his best friend, the path of the original envoy Kuai Yue can't be leaked out in person, but he is afraid that someone will pay attention, if it weren't for the relationship between Tang Yun and Pang Shanmin is really good, I'm afraid Pang Shanmin doesn't know Tang Yun's actions either.
"Yes, Shiyuan doesn't need to be like this, your Qishan brother will be back soon! Shi Yuan, you can definitely meet him! Pang Shanmin was still comforting his younger brother, but he didn't expect that his brother's tears were only a few drops, which were completely crocodile tears, and his eyes were shining.
Luokou? If you change a person, you may not know, but Pang Tong is from Jingzhou, Luokou, and the only one who can catch Luokou in this Xiangyang is Luokoudu, which can be regarded as a diversion! Take Luokoudu and go directly to Xinye, it seems that this Liu Biao wants to talk to Liu Mang before the war.
But it's that easy! Now that he Pang Tong knows the news, then Liu Biao doesn't think that he can make peace with Liu Mang.
After being polite with his eldest brother for a long time, Pang Tong said goodbye on the grounds that he was tired, and as soon as he left the study, Pang Tong immediately returned to his room, "Call He Feng and Cao Zhi to me!" β
He Feng and Cao Zhi can be regarded as people under Liu Bei who specialize in doing some shady things. (To be continued!)
