As the weather gradually changes to the height of summer, people's thinking is not affected as much as winter, but it is still a little lazy in general.

However, laziness is only the history of previous years.

Because this year's world is hot, whether they are willing or not, people must change their attention to the Xiangcheng area.

Everyone can see that an unprecedented war is about to break out here.

Under such a trend, many people who were originally hidden in the mountains couldn't help but get out of the seclusion and quietly joined the camp of the two protagonists.

Of course, because the gap in strength is placed there, the people who join Liu Bei's group are obviously much fewer than those who join Cao Wei's side.

But no matter how little, there are still some after all.

In such a situation, the strength of the two protagonist camps is quietly becoming stronger day by day.

And at this time, Liu Bei finally broke through the defense line of the army set up by Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Li Dian, Le Jin and others, and converged with Zhao Yun and Pang Tong.

"It's hard work."

Looking at Zhao Yun's face that obviously left a lot of vicissitudes and was no longer handsome before, Liu Bei originally thought that he could say a lot of words, but when it came to his mouth, there was only one sentence of hard work left.

"Kuangfu Han Room is also the ideal of the cloud, why bother?"

Zhao Yun shook his head very stiffly.

"I've seen the lord."

Pang Tong couldn't help but roll his eyes, and then hurriedly walked out and saluted Liu Bei, as if he wanted to divert the latter's attention through this behavior.

"Well said!"

However, Liu Bei's gaze was not so easy to change, he grabbed Zhao Yun's hand, and said with emotion: "Only when it comes to the moment of crisis can we see who is the loyal minister...... After such an experience, I realized how reasonable this sentence was. ”

"Are you talking about rebels?"

Zhao Yun frowned, and suddenly said in a low voice: "If that's the case, please also ask the lord to point out the direction, Yun, the steel gun in his hand will definitely teach him to understand some truth." ”

"No, no, no."

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "I didn't mean that, and I never had such an idea, but when I saw you, I suddenly felt it." ”

"Shiyuan, what do you think?"

As he spoke, he finally looked at Pang Tong.

It's not a snub.

In contrast, when he saw Pang Tong ignoring Zhao Yun for the first time, that was the real snub.

"I think it's better for the lord to join the military advisor as soon as possible."

Pang Tong said with a wry smile: "Tong has tried his best, but I don't have such a deep understanding of the situation in the Central Plains after all, I'm afraid I won't be able to help the lord." ”

"Only a military advisor can help you."

"Ziji?"

Liu Bei nodded slowly and said, "I was about to join him, but at the moment, I was not in a hurry." ”

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Zhao Yun again, and said, "Zilong has worked hard for this time, do you have any requirements?" Say it as much as you can, prepare, even if you are poor, you will never snub the heroes. ”

"Not really."

Zhao Yun once again showed his uprightness.

"We'll talk about that later."

Liu Bei smiled, then turned his gaze to Pang Tong and said, "Shiyuan, how do you think I should meet Ziji now?" ”

"Will you just bring the troops over, or will you ......?"

This doesn't seem like a problem.

But in reality, this is a very serious problem.

Because choosing the former also means giving up Kunyang, or even if you don't give up, you have to lower its strategy.

In general, this is a kind of examination school.

The test is Pang Tong's understanding of the current battle situation.

Although Pang Tong had already said that he didn't know so much about the situation in the Central Plains, Liu Bei still wanted to ask him what he thought.

There is no other reason.

Pang Tong's name in Jingzhou is too big.

As big as many people, as long as they hear Zhuge Liang, they will inevitably think of Pang Tong.

Such a person, but he didn't have too many records before, which really made Liu Bei feel a little incredible.

Of course, he didn't think that Pang Tong's name was blown out.

But such thoughts, Liu Bei only lasted for a while, and then quickly disappeared.

Because in the current era, although there are indeed some celebrities who have been blown out, no matter which celebrities are blown out, they have their own uniqueness.

Or rather, they all have a few brushes.

But anyone who doesn't have a brush will not be touted to a high position no matter what.

The family is not stupid.

They know very well how much damage they will do to the children of the family if they are too touted.

It is precisely because of this that almost every person who is touted is an elite.

Even if these elites themselves may not be worthy of their fame, even if they are not worthy of them, there will still not be too much gap compared to some powerful figures in history.

】

But when it comes to Pang Tong, the above arguments are somewhat untenable.

Because after Pang Tong joined Liu Bei's command, although he appeared in the most critical places several times, in general, he had not yet established much meritorious service.

This is a bit out of proportion to his name.

It's quirky.

Liu Bei always felt that Pang Tong might still be hiding his secrets.

Therefore, he subconsciously dried Pang Tong just now, and then proposed the school examination.

"In my opinion, no matter how the lord chooses, it will be the same in the end."

Pang Tong thought for a moment, and quickly gave an answer.

"Oh?"

Liu Bei was interested, and his eyes stared at Pang Tong very curiously.

"Lord, look."

When Pang Tong spoke, he casually took out a map from his arms, and then began to explain: "In the current situation, Cao Cao has just withdrawn from the army, but he obviously will not stop there, let alone let me wait like this...... Otherwise, Nanyang will never belong to him again. ”

"From this point of view, it is impossible for Cao Cao to let go of the hostile against us, let alone a truce, not to mention that there are some other reasons."

When he saw Pang Tong casually take out the map, Liu Bei's eyes lit up, because he suddenly thought of Chen Feng and Zhuge Liang.

Every time they spoke, they would cooperate with the map.

Especially when it comes to telling the situation in the world, maps are indispensable.

Now, Pang Tong, who behaves the same way, has directly raised Liu Bei's expectations for him a lot in his heart.

So he quickly asked, "What else?" ”

"Cao Cao has always regarded you as his greatest opponent."

Pang Tong sighed with emotion: "This is just one of them, the other problems are the fear of the military advisor, the greed of Jingzhou, and the ......."

"Let's start with greed."

"I think that at the beginning, Cao Cao had conquered Jingzhou, but it failed again and again...... Even if it is facing Liu Biao. ”

"In his heart, he will definitely leave a lot of grievances because of this."

"In this case, does the lord think he can leave Jingzhou alone?"
