The Pang family and the Huang family joined forces, and the manpower and material resources mobilized were extremely strong.

In just a few days, a craftsman's workshop was built at the foot of the mountain. The craftsmen of the two families made it according to the curved plough. It's just that Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan didn't publicize it.

The appearance of the curved plough will inevitably cause a sensation.

However, the number of productions is too small, so I have been busy making them, and I can only sell them after accumulating a certain amount.

Xiangyang didn't know anything about all this.

Cai Mao arranged for the Cai family's people to keep an eye on the Pang family's movements, and they did not notice the news of Qu Yuanli.

Now Cai Mao has no heart to pay attention to other things.

Cai Mao rode wildly, came to the foot of Lumen Mountain, placed the horse in the village below the mountain, and went straight up the mountain. Coming to the gate of Pang Mansion, Cai Mao immediately handed over the worship post.

In the hall, the guests and hosts are seated.

Pang Degong looked at Cai Mao and said, "Cai Junshi has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, come to visit today, is there anything wrong?"

Cai Mao smiled: "This time I came to visit Pang Gong, I came on behalf of the state pastor to discuss a matter with Pang Gong. ”

Pang Degong asked, "What's the matter?"

At this time, Pang Degong was very vigilant.

As the head of the Cai family, Cai Mao is not an easy person, and he took the initiative to come to the door, and there is definitely something to do.

Cai Mao said: "Cao Cao issued an edict to celebrate the birthday of the Son of Heaven in July. The state pastor believes that Pang Gong is highly respected and is an example of Jingzhou, so he hopes that Pang Gong will represent the state pastor to Xu County. ”

Pang Degong was strange in his heart, frowned and asked: "The old man is just a mountain village man, how can he de? Jingzhou officials are full of talents, and other officials can also go." ”

Cai Mao said: "This time I sent an envoy to Xu County, and Wen hired to protect Pang Gong. The rest of the officials are not involved. ”

Pang Degong stared at Cai Mao, his mind turning.

Suddenly, Pang Degong smiled and said, "This suggestion must be from Cai Junshi's hand." ”

Cai Mao smiled and replied, "If you really can't hide anything from Pang Gong." ”

After a pause, Cai Mao explained: "The reason why I invited Pang Gong to Xu County was because I was worried that there would be a situation like Han Song again. Pang Gong hid in Lumen Mountain, ignored government affairs, and after returning from Xu County, he would definitely not publicize the power of Cao Thief. ”

"Moreover, Pang Gongde is highly respected, and if he goes to Xu County, he will be able to resolve the difficulties. ”

"Pang Gong, it is not appropriate for the officials of Jingzhou to go. ”

"Only Pang Gong is the most suitable person. ”

Cai Mao looked solemn and said, "Pang Gong is a native of Jingzhou, and he should understand that peace in Jingzhou is not easy. Once because of the birthday celebration, the excuse for Cao Thief to go south to Jingzhou was given, which was very unfavorable to Jingzhou. ”

When Pang Degong heard this, he fell silent.

Today's Pang Degong is already in his early fifties, and he does not love power or vanity. It is not appropriate to mix the matter between Liu Biao and Cao Cao, and it is not in line with Pang Degong's wishes.

It's just that Pang Degong thought of Liu Xiu and had an idea in his mind.

Pang De said fairly: "If the old man goes to Xu County to celebrate the birthday of the Son of Heaven, can the old man designate the accompanying personnel?"

Cai Mao smiled slightly and said: "This time to envoy Xu County, Pang Gong is an envoy, and there are no other officials except Pang Gong and Wen Ping, so Pang Gong can take whoever he wants." ”

At this time, Cai Mao's heart suddenly thought of Liu Xiu.

I'm afraid, the Pound Guild will take Liu Xiu there.

Pang Degong said in a deep voice: "That being the case, Liu Xiu, as an old man's disciple, went to Xu County together. ”

"Gongzi Xiu has never gone out, and it is also a good thing to see the world of Xu County. Cai Mao smiled slightly and said, "Since Pang Gong agreed, the matter is settled." ”

At this time, Cai Mao's heart was even more joyful.

Pang Degong took Liu Xiu to leave Xiangyang, which had at least two benefits.

First, Liu Xiu left Xiangyang temporarily, no matter what, Liu Xiu will be silent in Xiangyang for the time being. Gradually, many people will forget Liu Xiu.

Second, Liu Xiu followed Pang Degong to Xu County, and was inevitably harassed by Cao Cao. At that time, if Pang Degong is at a loss, or if Liu Xiu loses face, it will inevitably make Liu Biao angry, and it will further make Liu Biao disgusted with Liu Xiu.

Cai Mao was overjoyed, but there was a serious look on her face, and she said, "Pang Gong, I have to go back to resume my life in the future, so I will leave." ”

"Slow down and don't send it!"

Pang Degong nodded, but he was thinking about the envoy in his heart.

After Cai Mao left, Pang Degong shouted, "Someone!"

Pang Fu entered the hall and arched his hand, "Master, what do you command?"

Pang De said fairly: "Call Xiu'er over." ”

"Yes!"

Pang Fu went down to convey the news, and after a short time, Liu Xiu came to the hall and sat down after saluting.

Pang De said fairly: "Just now, Cai Mao came to deliver the news, saying that Cao Cao congratulated the Son of Heaven on his birthday, and Jingzhou needed to send someone to congratulate him. The governor chose a candidate and decided to let the old man go as an envoy. ”

Liu Xiu was puzzled: "The teacher doesn't have an official position, how can it be that the teacher is an envoy of the envoy?"

Pang Degong asked rhetorically, "What do you think is the reason?"

Liu Xiu pondered carefully and explained, "Could it be that it has something to do with the disciple?"

Pang Degong smiled and did not answer.

Liu Xiu suddenly thought that it was Cai Mao who came to deliver the message, and with a flash of inspiration, he had a guess, and immediately said: "Could it be that this is Cai Mao's suggestion." The reason why Cai Mao did this was because he planned to let the teacher leave Lumen Mountain and find another opportunity to deal with the disciples?"

Pound said fairly: "The children can be taught!"

Liu Xiu asked, "Did the teacher agree?"

Pang Degong replied: "The old man has already agreed, and soon, Wen Ping will lead the army to Lumen Mountain, and then escort us to Xu County." This time I went to Xu County, and you went with you. ”

When Liu Xiu heard this, his heart was moved, and he was even more guilty, and said, "It's the disciple who has caused the teacher!"

Pang Degong shook his head and said: "Actually, the old man doesn't agree, the state pastor has no choice, and Cai Mao is helpless." The reason why I agreed to go to Xu County was based on two reasons. ”

"What is the reason?" asked Liu Xiu.

Pang Degong asked again: "Think about it carefully, what is the reason?"

After thinking carefully, Liu Xiu replied: "First, the teacher left the disciple alone in Lumen Mountain, and asked the disciple to go to Xu County with him. ”

"Second, the great birthday of the Son of Heaven, the gathering of officials from all states in the world, will inevitably gather talents from all over the world. The teacher took the disciples to the university to let them see the talents of the world and broaden their horizons. ”

"Third, this time to celebrate the birthday of the Son of Heaven, although there is a big crisis, but it is also an opportunity. The teacher agreed to his father's request so that his disciples could get this opportunity. ”

Liu Xiu stood up and walked into the hall.

Facing Pang Degong, Liu Xiu folded his hands, bowed, and said respectfully: "The teacher is very kind, and the disciple cannot repay it." ”

In Liu Xiu's heart, Pang Degong is the one who really thinks about him.

Like a teacher, like a father!

Pang Degong is such a person.

If it weren't for Liu Xiu, Pang Degong would not have been able to wade into this troubled water. Cao Cao nominally celebrated the birthday of the Son of Heaven, but he must have had other intentions. When Pang Degong goes, he will inevitably encounter all kinds of difficulties.

Pang Degong smiled and said, "A big man, like a woman, sit back." ”

"Yes!"

Liu Xiu got up and returned to his seat.

Pang Degong continued: "Your analysis, the first article is not valid. The disciple of the old man, if he stays in Lumen Mountain, he will not be able to deal with the crisis, is he still the disciple of the old man?"

When Liu Xiu heard this, he also laughed.

Pang Degong continued: "The second and third articles are true. The old man took you to Xu County to let you take this opportunity to stand out and see the talents of the world. ”

Liu Xiu's eyes were full of fighting spirit, and he arched his hand and said, "The disciple will live up to the high expectations of the teacher." ”

Pang Degong waved his hand and said, "You go to see Yueying and tell her about it, this is not a matter of a day or two to go to Xu County." ”

"No!"

Liu Xiu got up and stepped back and went to Huang Yueying.

Pang Degong asked Huang Chengyan to come in again to discuss the matter of Qu Yuanli. handed over all the things of Qu Yuan Plough to Huang Chengyan, and then said the matter of the envoy and handed over the matter clearly
