Don't show to listen. gasped and said, "The Bian proposed by the blade man in front of him is not bold, digging the mountain wall and building the plank road, how easy it is to say, and it will take more than seven hundred miles of no man's land." There is no 20,000 or 30,000 troops here can not be completed at all, and there is also the problem of transporting grain, to complete this strategy, in addition to the commander must have courage, the quality of the soldiers is also very important, this strategy will face the crisis of food at any time, and there may be casualties among the soldiers who build plank roads.

However, if this strategy is successful, the benefits are innumerable. As the ugly man in front of him said, this policy is a success, and Yizhou is basically decided. Looking at the ugly man in front of him who had become drunk with a solemn gaze, Zhang Xiu asked in a condensed voice: "Didn't ask Mr. for his name?" ”

The ugly man ate the side dishes by himself, and replied indifferently: "In Xia Pangtong, the grass character Shiyuan, the general has never heard of Zaixia's name." ”

Zhang Xiu heard this, his eyes widened, and he lost his voice: "Feng Xiao Pang Shiyuan? ”

Pang Tong heard it, looked at Zhang Xiu and said with a smile: "I don't want the general to hear the name." ”

Zhang Xiu sighed: "Mr. Shuijing once said. Wolong, phoenix chicks can be the world, now Wolong is in Jingzhou, will be looking for Mr., I don't want Mr. to come to Chang'an. Ben will not know talents, sir, don't blame. ”

When Pang Tong heard this, he laughed and said: "The general praised it falsely, and the name of Feng Xiao is just a teacher's love, there are many wise and resourceful people in the world like stars in the sky, and there are many strategists under the command of the princes, many of whom are not inferior to those below." To get a peace in the world is just a word of love, and the general should not take it seriously. ”

Zhang Xiu heard it and said with a smile: "Having said that, Mr. Shui Jing has the name of knowing people, and he is so highly praised, and Mr. should be described as a genius." Moreover, just Mr. Fang Cai's advice is enough to deserve the name of Feng Chick.

Pang Tong smiled slightly, no longer entangled in this topic, and asked Zhang Xiu instead: "I heard that the general has been worried about Kong Ming's affairs in the past few days, and Tong should be able to untie the knot for the general." ”

Zhang Xiu could hear it. I was even more surprised in my heart, and hurriedly asked, "Sir, don't you have the ability of ghosts and gods?" ”

Pang Tong shook his head and smiled: "No, it's just that Tong is familiar with Fa Xiaozhi, so he knows about it." ”

Zhang Xiu heard Pang Tong's words, where did he still not understand the reason for the matter, I am afraid that Pang Tong and Fa Zheng have known each other for a long time, but I don't know why I didn't bring Pang Tong to see me, but hinted that he went to the city. Arrange for yourself to meet Pang Tong.

Pang Tong saw what Zhang Xiu was thinking, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the general, don't do filial piety in this matter, but the general will not let him recommend the general to the general." As for today's chance encounter, it is a coincidence, the whole book is only in the West Market, and today I am very bored and come to the East Market, but I don't want to meet the general, this is the will of God, and it is definitely not artificial. ”

Zhang Xiu smiled and asked, "I don't know how Mr. will solve the depression in his heart?" After speaking, his eyes were full of curiosity.

Pang Tong laughed and said, "Listening to filial piety, the general is extremely jealous of Kong Ming. ”

Zhang Xiu nodded. sighed: "Zhuge Kongming has the talent of heaven and latitude, astronomy and geography, internal affairs and military strategy, all of which are well-versed and refined, and he has no last resort to do things, and he uses soldiers like a god." Liu Xuande got his help, like a fish jumping into the dragon gate, the dragon soared for nine days, how could he not be taboo. ”

Pang Tong heard it and said with a smile: "The general's praise for Kong Ming is too much, only in terms of internal affairs and military strategy, the general is not inferior to Kong Ming." Tong has seen the new system set up by the general from Xiaozhi, which is far better than the Han system, and compared with the Han system, it is like the bright moon in the sky and the open fire in the ground. The system established by the great general will benefit all generations. However, with this system, with the talent of Kong Ming, it is not possible to establish such a perfect system, and the general of civil affairs may not be as good as Kong Ming, but the legal system is established, and the general is full of talents, although Zhong Yuanchang, Zhuge Ziyu, Zhang Derong, Du Bohou and others are inferior to Kong Ming, but they cannot take the world by the power of one person, although Kong Ming is strong, he is also alone. ”

After a pause, Pang Tong continued: "As for military strategy, Kong Ming is cautious, and the use of troops is indeed a last resort, but a person who has no last resort is also destined to use his troops only with dignified soldiers. The general has led the troops for more than ten years, and he also knows that the use of troops must be combined, and only with dignified soldiers, he can defend according to the danger, and he may be able to gain an inch of land, but it is also difficult to reverse the unfavorable situation of the war. ”

Seeing that Zhang Xiu listened carefully, Pang Tong smiled and continued: "As for knowing astronomy and geography, Kong Ming is just bluffing" The general should not think too strangely, in fact, many people under the rule of the general can know astronomy and geography. ”

Zhang Xiu was really surprised when she heard it this time, and said in a lost voice: "What? ”

Pang Tong smiled and said, "The general knows Kong Ming. Do you know where Kong Ming lived before he left the office and what he did for a living? ”

Zhang Xiu didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Pang Tong's gourd, so when he heard his question, he naturally replied: "He lives in Longzhong, west of Xiangyang, but he makes a living by farming." Later, Zhang Xiu thought for a while before saying it.

Pang Tong laughed when he heard this: "Since the general knows that Kong Ming used to make a living from farming, he should know why he understands astronomy and geography." ”

Zhang Xiu heard this, and asked with some uncertainty: "Is this related to his farming for a living?" ”

Pang Tong nodded and said, "Yes." Ploughing for a living, must first be familiar with the soil, terrain, sunlight, wind direction, etc., of which the soil, terrain and so on belong to geography, Kong Ming ploughing, only taste its tip to know whether it is fertile, suitable for planting what crops, watch the growth of trees in the mountains, you can guess the terrain **. In addition, it can only observe the growth of trees in the mountains to measure the sunlight and wind direction, and when watching the sunrise and sunset, you can know what the weather will be like in the future. Under the general's rule, he could find some elderly old peasants casually, and he could do it, but Kong Ming was smart and more observant than ordinary old peasants. ”

After listening to Pang Tong's words, Zhang Xiu immediately remembered the great battle with Ma Teng and Han Sui's coalition forces in Chang'an, which was already at a disadvantage, but in the end he was reminded by an old farmer that the heavy snow was coming, so he took advantage of the heavy snow to reverse the defeat and recapture Chang'an. If Chang'an could not be recaptured that time, the situation of Zhang Xiu would be in a passive state, and it can be said that the most critical thing in that war was the old peasant. Afterwards, Zhang Xiu also personally came to the door to thank him, after Chang'an was built, Zhang Xiu also invited the old farmers to live in Chang'an City, but the old man was reluctant to leave the village where he lived for generations, Zhang Xiu was not reluctant, and the old man died two years ago, Zhang Xiu went to the small village once a year, even if he didn't have time, he also sent his henchmen to show his gratitude to the old man.

At this time, he heard Pang Tong say: "Therefore, the general does not need to be too jealous of Kong Ming, in Tong's opinion." He was just a farmer who could read better. ”

Zhang Xiu heard it, and couldn't help laughing, the famous Zhuge Kongming and his friend Pang Tong seemed to be farmers who read the famous books better, if this was known to future generations, I don't know whether to cry or laugh. However, after listening to Pang Tong's words, Zhang Xiu completely let go of his fear of Zhuge Liang. In this era, if you say that the person who knows Zhuge Liang the most, it should be his teacher Sima Hui and the hippie smiling face in front of him, who is not in shape, but his wisdom is not inferior to his friend Pang Tong.

After listening to this, Zhang Xiu asked suspiciously: "Shiyuan's family is in Jingzhou, why did you come to Chang'an?"

Pang Tong said with a smile: "When I came to Chang'an, I naturally asked the general to beg for food and wine, I don't know if the general is willing to accept a certain embroidery, and said with a smile: "Shiyuan can be like-minded." Ben will naturally not be able to ask for it. As for the wine. Shiyuan is as much as there is to it

Pang Tong heard it and laughed: "Tong is a person who likes to be so cheerful as the general." ”

Zhang Xiu continued to ask: "As far as the general knows, Shi Yuan is the nephew of Pang Degong, a famous man in Jingzhou, but he came to vote for the general, but the general was greatly puzzled. ”

Pang Tong smiled, and didn't care about Zhang Xiu's investigation, after all, he was from Jingzhou, and he was familiar with Zhuge Liang, so he would naturally have doubts when he suddenly came to vote for Zhang Xiu. But what Pang Tong didn't know was that Zhang Xiu knew through history that Pang Tong had gone to Cao Cao to offer a plan, so that Zhou Yu's fire in Chibi burned Cao Cao to flee north in panic, so Zhang Xiu would naturally be wary of Pang Tong's sudden offer.

I only heard Pang Tong say: "Now there are only a few princes left in the world, among which Cao Mengde in Guandong, Sun Wentai in Jiangdong and the general who occupies Guanxi are the strongest, and Liu Xuande, who has captured Jingzhou, is good, but he has missed the opportunity and is difficult to become a big weapon." As for the remnants of the Yuan family in Youzhou, Liu Zhang and others in Youzhou are like dry bones in the grave, so there is no need to say more. Looking at the three strongest princes, Cao Mengde has the Central Plains and Hebei celebrities, and his subordinates are full of talents, and they are all like outsiders, so they will not be reused. Jiangdong Sun Jian, although its momentum is prosperous, but its foothold is the Jiangdong family, the Jiangdong family's xenophobia, the world is heard, and it is at odds with Jingzhou, if the unity is like-minded, it can not be reused. ”

After a pause, Pang Tong continued: "And the general here, although there are many generals who lead the troops, but there are very few people who are good at strategizing. As for the rest of Zhuge Ziyu, Yang Yishan, Cheng Gongying, etc., they can only defend the city or assist. In addition, the general does not stick to one pattern to reduce talents, and he is not inferior to Jia Wen and the three of them, if they are like-minded, the general will naturally be reused

Zhang Xiu heard this, high-fived and laughed, and asked with a smile: "What about Liu Xuande in Jingzhou?" Shi Yuan is a native of Jingzhou, and Shi Yuan's friend Zhuge Kongming also voted for Liu Xuande, why don't you vote for him? Speaking of this, Zhang Xiu looked at the changes on Pang Tong's face steadily.

Pang Tong smiled indifferently and said, "Liu Xuande, Tong can't see what he can do." Although it has the land of Jingzhou, there are Sun in the east, Cao Mengde and the general in the north, and it is estimated that the place where it can attack is only to enter Yizhou in the west. However, the gateway of Yizhou has been based on the general, who wants to fight for Yizhou, must first fight with the general, and if the general uses the strategy of unification, digging the mountain wall, crossing the 700 miles of no man's land and building the mountain road to attack Jiangyou, and then directly take Chengdu, Yizhou can be determined. Yizhou is established, Liu Xuande and Zhuge Kongming have great power, but their momentum has declined, what can they do. Kong Ming helped Liu Xuande, in the eyes of the Tong, he just acted against the sky, in vain he claimed to understand the heavens, and in the end, he did not act against the sky

Zhang Xiu didn't know how well he listened to Pang Tong's praise for himself, everyone loved to listen to good words, so Zhang Xiu laughed after listening to it. In the end, he held Pang Tong's hand and said with a smile: "Shiyuan is like, it is a great joy, since Shiyuan loves wine, he will set up a banquet for Shiyuan tonight." He Shiyuan is like-minded. ”

When Pang Tong heard this, he arched his hand and said, "Thank you, General." Tongshang has friends in Chang'an, I don't know if I can come with me? ”

Zhang Xiu heard it and said with a smile: "Since we are Shiyuan's friends, we can naturally come with us." After speaking, he said strangely: "It's just that Ben will know who Shiyuan's friend is?" ”

Pang Tong nodded and smiled: "It's a friend of Tonglumen Academy, Cui Zhouping, Shi Tao Guangyuan, and Meng Jian Gongwei."

Zhang Xiu heard that Pang Tong invited them, how could he not know Pang Tong's intentions, and he was overjoyed, although the talents of these three people were not as prominent as Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, and Xu Shu, but as Zhuge Liang said, they were all talents who could be a county or even a state. Zhang Xiu's subordinates have always been lacking, if there are these three people who are like-minded, then the situation will be greatly improved, so he said with great joy: "Shi Yuan must invite them."

When Pang Tong heard this, he got up and bowed to Zhang Xiu, and said: "Pang Tong has seen the lord, please rest assured that this matter will be done."

Zhang Xiu was naturally overjoyed, and after chatting with Pang Tong for a while, he broke up, Pang Tong naturally went to find Shi Tao and the three of them, and Zhang Xiu went back to the house to let people prepare a dinner, and sent someone to notify his subordinates Wenwu and the heads of the Chamber of Commerce, the Medical Center, and the School Palace to come to the banquet.

After giving the order, he walked into the inner hall and turned the net in. saw Chen Yao and Cai Yan talking with Zhen Luo and Mi Zhen, and when they saw Zhang Xiu coming in, Mi Zhen immediately cast a resentful gaze, and Zhen Luo next to him looked Zhang Xiu up and down with malicious eyes.

Zhang Xiu saw that Zhen Luo and Mi Zhen were here at the same time, and began to have a headache, since Zhang sent Mrs. Gan and Guan Feng to Jingzhou in the spring of this year, Zhang Xiu knew that Liu Bei sent someone to give Mi Zhen a letter of resignation, to show that the husband and wife were over and had nothing to do with each other. Mi Zhu personally told Zhang Xiu about this matter, and told him that Mi Zhen was very unhappy about this matter and hoped that Zhang Xiu would comfort him.

Zhang Xiu was reluctant to go, but Mi Zhu persuaded him bitterly, and at the same time remembered his promise to Mi Zhen, but he went to Mi Mansion with a soft heart. This comfort, lonely men and widows in the same room, coupled with Mi Zhen's pity when she was sad, aroused Zhang Xiu's desire to protect, and the final result naturally ended again.

The first time can be said to be Mi Zhu's set, but the second time is that both parties are voluntary, so the relationship between Zhang Xiu and Mi Zhen has become extremely ambiguous. Mi Zhen also guessed a lot about his intentions Zhang Xiu, but Zhang Xiu himself didn't know how to face Mi Zhen, fortunately, not long after this incident, he had to go to the Hetao, so Zhang Xiu escaped. But this is not a way to escape, now that the net is back, Mi Zhen has come to visit, and even Zhen Luo, who has caused Zhang Xiu a headache, has also come with him.
