Why did Pang Degong not ask any of the four questions written down on the silk cloth, Lu Chen was very puzzled. The next day, after Pang Tong woke up, he finally solved Lu Chen's confusion.

The first question, why did he go north to the border, did Pang Degong want to teach Lu Chen whether he was crooked, or did he deliberately avoid the competition for the Central Plains and live in a corner in order to develop. On the way, Pang Tong received Lu Chen's cousin in the two wars between Wuchao and Hanoi, and he already knew that he intended to go north and was ready to use the dispute between Yuan and Cao to develop himself, so he didn't ask.

The second question, asking Lu Chen whether he attaches importance to the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, is actually not the real meaning, the real intention is to see if Lu Chen can see the fact that the Han Dynasty has exhausted its strength. This question is the most unnecessary, Pang Tong knew that there was no Han Emperor in his eyes when he knew that Lu Chen was going north with Cao Cao directly, so he didn't ask.

The third question, for the question of who wins and who loses between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, Pang Tong doesn't need to ask at all, since Lu Chen chose to go to Yanmen instead of staying in Xuzhou or Hanoi, he knows that Lu Chen is optimistic about Cao Cao, and he is also optimistic about Cao Cao, so there is no need to ask again.

The fourth question, how to look at the family, in Pang Degong's opinion, this issue is very important, but Pang Tong feels that it is unnecessary, no ruler really likes the family, no matter how good they answer, it is also false, but the family monopolizes the inheritance of knowledge, which is equivalent to mastering the power, they don't like it but are helpless. Therefore, Pang Tong didn't bother to ask.

It turned out that Pang Tong chased for too long on horseback yesterday and was tired, so he asked a few questions perfunctorily and casually, and sent the servant back to report to Pang Degong, saying that he was satisfied with Lu Chen's answer, so he stayed. However, Lu Chenxin said that it was too perfunctory, and the four questions became three questions, is it really okay? Pang Tong said that the servant was his confidant, and he was very smart and knew how to go back to lie, so it didn't matter.

Then, Lu Chen knew some of the controversies caused by the letter he asked Liu Bei to send, and it was precisely because of this controversy that Pang Tong was provoked in front of him, full of luck.

The argument unfolded between four people, three of whom received letters of invitation from Lu Chen, namely Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, and Pang Tong, while the other was Pang Tong's uncle Pang Degong.

Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang are not optimistic about Lu Chen at all, the reason is very simple, because Lu Chen is from a humble background, and he cannot command the heroes, let alone obtain the support of the family, and he is destined to become a big thing.

And Pang Tong was originally not very optimistic about Lu Chen, but he didn't agree with Zhuge Liang, so if he wanted to contradict him, he listed some of Lu Chen's advantages. At that time, they had just received the news that Lu Chen had won the battle of the Black Nest, so Lu Chen's advantages were not many, nothing more than being young, brave, courageous, resourceful, and inventing new weapons, etc., plus one, Lu Chen retained a trace of spark in the inevitable defeat, and led the army to leave safely, defeated but not destroyed, this is a great ability. Pang Tong's persuasiveness is naturally not strong, and sometimes he is refuted by Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu speechless, after all, although he is also good at arguing, he doesn't know much about Lu Chen.

Pang Tong didn't like Zhuge Liang, it was Lu Chen who heard it himself. From Pang Tong's words, Lu Chen understood why he hated Kong Ming, not because Zhuge Liang was smart, but because everyone thought that Kong Ming was very handsome, Pang Tong was not convinced: Brother is also very distinctive.

In the end, Pang Degong spoke, he was very optimistic about Lu Chen, thinking that Lu Chen's behavior was frivolous and had no overall view, and he was too fond of using insidious and cunning schemes, which was not the way of a gentleman. And the conclusion is that such a person is neither a family nor a gentleman, it is difficult to become a climate, so it is better not to waste energy to help him, so Zhuge and Xu Shu ignored Lu Chen.

Pang Tong was really interested in Lu Chen in the argument with Zhuge , and there was also a trace of rebellion in his subconscious: You are not optimistic, I want to help him, you will wait and see when the time comes!

Therefore, Pang Tong finally decided to go north to find Lu Chen, preparing to test Lu Chen first, and stay to help him if it was suitable. In this regard, Pang Degong persuaded Pang Tong for a long time, but Pang Tong was unmoved, but strengthened his determination to go north. In fact, Pang Tong is very tired in his heart: the old man, chirp crookedly, because Mao Zhuge is a dragon, and when he arrives at Lao Tzu, he is a phoenix? I'm going to show you who's the dragon among men.

In the final analysis, Pang Tong is talented, but he is a maverick, and he often goes off the rails, not a cautious person like Zhuge Liang.

So, Pang Degong left four questions for Pang Tong and asked him to ask Lu Chen, if the answer was not satisfactory, leave immediately. Pang Tong agreed, but he didn't think so in his heart, especially the news he got along the way, which made him feel that Lu Chen might have a future, especially after learning that he was giving food to the homeless. Of course, Pang Tong didn't care much about the life and death of the homeless, but felt that although this guy was young, he knew how to gather strength, and the population in this era was power, especially in the withering northland.

Pang Tong naturally didn't want to hang himself on Lu Chen's crooked neck tree, if he didn't like it, he could leave, just like Guo Jia left Yuan Shao at the beginning.

The reason why Pang Tong was willing to come to the north to find Lu Chen was actually another reason, he was just twenty years old, and he was recruited as a meritorious officer in his county, a petty official, and he was very unhappy, so he came to the north in a fit of anger. The reason why Pang Tong was unhappy was not only because he was a child of a family and the official he got was too small, but because he only got a small official because he was too ugly.

Throughout the ages, officials have very high requirements for grooming, so Pang Tong in history would go around seeking officials but couldn't, and finally voted for Liu Bei, and he was also underestimated.

And it just so happens that Pang Tong is a high-minded and arrogant person.

Lu Chen knew that Pang Tong was high-spirited, so he recommended him to his father Lu Bu the next day, saying that Pang Tong was a great talent, and he was a child of a big family, and his energy was not small, so he asked Lu Bu to give him a big official. The result was tragic, and Lu Bu very thoughtfully sprinkled a handful of salt on Pang Tong's wounds. But said that Lu Bu summoned Pang Tong to take a look, and the injury that had been slightly improved was shocked to recur again, and he vomited a few mouthfuls of blood, if it wasn't for Pang Tong's son who recommended him, he might have chopped up this guy who lowered the average of human appearance, and in the end, he only gave Pang Tong a petty official in charge of Tuntian.

Pang Tong was so angry that he jumped to his feet, Lu Chen was also speechless, he originally planned to give him a position as a military advisor, after two days of chatting, he found that Pang Tong was very good at internal affairs, but he was even more surprised in military affairs, as a result, Lu Bu missed the old feelings and insisted on letting Chen Gong continue to be a military advisor.

Lu Chen had no choice but to give up his position as Dingxiang Taishou to Pang Tong, but Pang Tong didn't do it, saying that he was here to defect to Lu Chen, not to Lu Bu, and just follow Lu Chen in the future. Obviously, he has no good impression of Lu Bu, and he has already made up his mind to slap his ass and leave if he is unhappy, Lu Chen understands in his heart.

In the end, Pang Tong became Lu Chen's long history, and he was actually Lu Chen's personal military advisor.

It's okay like this, Pang Tong is afraid that he won't be able to get along with Lu Bu, and even Pang Tong's various military and internal affairs methods of Chen Gong in Yanzhou and Xuzhou, he and Chen Gong will not get along. Since this is the case, Lu Chen felt that it was better to take him with him, maybe when he saved Gongsun Zhan, he could still have some tricks or something.

After settling Pang Tong, Lu Chen and his entourage came to the Great Wall to follow Ma Yi.
