"Brother Pang, Brother Xu, it's early. ”

said that he wanted to whip and kick for Pang and Xu, Gongsun Ming really did it, not only on the ten-mile road back to the city, but also after entering the city, when he got the manor specially arranged for the scribes from Jingzhou, he diligently set up a banquet for everyone to catch the wind and wash the dust, and talked and laughed during the banquet, without the slightest humiliation, not only that, but the next day he rushed to the courtyard where Pang and Xu lived, and as soon as Bu entered the courtyard, he greeted with a smile.

"Pang Tong (Xu Shu) worshiped the lord. ”

Seeing that Gongsun Ming was coming, Pang and Xu, who were originally sitting on the lawn in the courtyard, got up together, bowed down almost at the same time and made a big salute, which made Gongsun Ming stunned on the spot.

"Two brothers, this is ......"

Although Gongsun Ming was confident that he could subdue the two, he never imagined that it would only take one night, and the two of them would actually return to their hearts like this, and they really couldn't react for a while.

"The fact that the lord can endure lowly service without feeling humiliated shows that he is open-minded; the people he saw along the way are living and working in peace and contentment, regardless of men, women and children, and the smiles on his faces are completely sincere, and it can be seen that the lord has the world in his heart; he is victorious in every battle but not greedy for merit, and it can be seen that he has his own strategy in his chest.

didn't wait for Gongsun Ming to come back to his senses, Pang Tong, who hadn't spoken much since yesterday, was gushing this time.

"Brother Shiyuan, Brother Yuanzhi, please get up quickly, please get up quickly, you can get the help of the two, like a dragon getting water, if you can end this troubled world as soon as possible, the people will be happy, and the society will be happy. ”

After confirming that Pang and Xu were not joking, the corners of Gongsun Ming's eyes couldn't help but moisten, no side, in the past half a year, he has supported too hard, the military and politics are shoulder-to-shoulder, and there is not even a useful strategist under him, he has already been boiled to the point that he is almost dry, and now he finally has two good helpers, and many plans that had to be shelved earlier have room to be used, how can Gongsun Ming not be excited.

"Since the lord has ambitions in the world, he must have made up his mind, can you briefly describe one or two?"

Pang Tong entered the state quickly, and the three of them had just sat on the lawn, and he had already turned to the main topic.

"Don't hide the two brothers, a certain since mid-April forced Yuan Benchu to retreat, there has been a rough plan, so to speak, a plan to Youzhou as the foundation, first repair the internal affairs, the salt industry, in order to consolidate the people's hearts, gather wealth, this article has now begun to bear fruit, a wonderful method of salt, can get more than 200,000 stone a year, and the consumables are very few, and now it has been exported everywhere......"

Gongsun Ming took the trouble to invite Pang and Xu to come, originally because he wanted to rely on the great talents of the two to achieve a great cause, so he naturally would not hide anything from the two, so he explained in detail the policy of leveling the world in his heart, not only the secret of the salt industry, but also the military system that had not yet been put on the table.

"The lord is thoughtful, capable of what people can't, when the true master is also, the branch has been completed, and the one who is sent is only the details. ”

Although Pang Tong and Xu Shu have decided to be loyal to Gongsun Ming, they actually have some doubts about Gongsun Ming's ability in their hearts.

"Brother Yuan is on the point, since ancient times, those who can succeed in things, all pay attention to details, the so-called details determine success or failure, although there is a heart, but the energy is limited, there are indeed many places that are difficult to take into account, and now with the help of two brothers, major events can be determined. ”

Gongsun Ming didn't know that the overall strategy he had drawn up seemed grandiose, but in fact it was not full of flesh and blood, and there was only an outline in many places, but there was no specific plan, not that he did not want to refine it, but that the military and political affairs were too busy and he could not spare time to perfect it.

"The lord has a reputation, according to a certain point of view, the current need is actually one, that is, the disaster to the south, but the elimination of Yuan and Cao Cao at the beginning, the lord can take advantage of the situation, this time is best controlled after the next summer, by that time, the lord is full of soldiers and horses, sufficient grain, in one fell swoop, the wing, the three states of Qing are not difficult, according to this four states, enough to compete with Cao Cao, defeat, then the north is determined. ”

After generally understanding Gongsun Ming's overall strategy and existing forces, Pang Tong immediately pointed out the most important things at the moment.

"Well, do you have anything to teach me about this?"

For such a point in time proposed by Pang Tong, Gongsun Ming only thought about it and knew the wonder - the time was early, quiet, Bo Erdi is afraid that it is too late to prepare, and the time is late, although they can be prepared, but because of the existence of their own threat, Yuan Shao may not really dare to use the army to compete with Cao Cao, missed the competition between the two powers, Gongsun Ming wants to unify the north, then it must be a series of victories Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and this, the manpower and material resources to be consumed is undoubtedly not a small number, even if it can win, the national strength must be exhausted to the extreme, a careless, I am afraid that it is for others to make wedding clothes.

"There are three feasible strategies, the best policy, try to reconcile with Yuan Benchu, if you can marry him, you will be able to dispel his suspicions, and it is not difficult to lure him to go south; the middle strategy is to prepare for a general stop, then break with the Montenegrin thieves, first annex Gongsun Xu's territory, and then fight with the Montenegrin thieves, deliberately not quick victory, if the situation of holding each other appears, Yuan Benchu may also be unable to bear to annex Cao Cao's thoughts; as for the next strategy is to enter Jizhou, deliberately defeated, in order to forgive Yuan Benchu's heart, this fang is arrogant, it is also possible to go south. ”

Pang Tong is worthy of the name of the phoenix, and in a short period of time, he was able to make detailed additions according to the overall strategy proposed by Gongsun Ming, and the three strategies proposed are really quite feasible.

"Marriage? Hmm......"

Gongsun Ming is not a person of this era in the end, and he really can't turn the corner for a while for Pang Tong to put the marriage strategy in the first place, but think about it again, if you can win Yuan Shao's trust just by marriage, it is obviously better than feint defeat or pretend to fight to the death with the Black Mountain thief, at least from the point of view of saving resources, marrying a Yuan family woman is undoubtedly the best plan, besides, he Gongsun Ming is now about to become an adult, and he has no wife, so he can make a fuss about marriage, the problem is that his concept of marriage is obviously contrary to this, and emotionally he really can't accept it。

"Yes, it is a marriage, as far as I know, Yuan Benchu has a daughter Yuan Mei, who is one year younger than the lord, and it is time to leave the cabinet. ”

Pang Tong obviously had a plan in mind, and even the candidate for marriage was chosen for Gongsun Ming.

"This ...... Rong thought about it carefully, and then decided. ”

Although Gongsun Ming has the ambition to dominate the world, he wants him to use his marriage to play a conspiracy, and he is really sad about this psychological level, and in desperation, he can only make a vague perfunctory statement......
