Volume 2 The Rise of Jingzhou Chapter 470 - Xiangyang Bureau of Jingzhou Chaos
In Liu Bei's eyes, this Jingzhou is a wealthy family after all, and the Pang clan where this Pang Tong is located is the premier family.
He really couldn't believe that this Pang Tong would bring the Pang family into his command.
This.... How can I accept Ponzi and get Ponzi's allegiance.
He didn't want to be laughed at, so he didn't say anything about it.
At the same time, after he saw the outline of Gangneung Castle, he immediately ordered someone to go and send an order to Gangneung, telling the defender of Gangneung Castle that he was not leading a large army to conquer the city.
Let them open the door and surrender immediately, let themselves pass, he doesn't want to embarrass the other party.
Where are these words in the eyes of Liu Qi and Liu Pan and others, more or less... It's a bit excessive.
This Pang Shanmin's reputation is indeed inferior to Pang Tong, and a large part of the reason why he can have his current status is also because the Pang family has now received an exchange of benefits.
But in any case, this family is also a guard with a lot of soldiers and horses in his hands, and he is also quite famous in Jingzhou.
If Liu Bei said so, I am afraid that the other party would directly reprimand him back.
When the time comes, I will let my face be uncomfortable.
But what no one expected was that Liu Bei's surrender order had just gone down, and it could even be said that the person who went to persuade him to surrender had not yet stepped out of the army, and he had not had time to do what he had to do.
The messenger of Gangneung City has already arrived here.
"Villain Pang Lin, meet General Zuo and Liu Jingzhou!"
A good-looking young man came directly to the army, and under the supervision and escort of the soldiers, he successfully met Liu Bei and Liu Qi.
At the same time, he bowed to the two of them and reported to his home.
Ponlin... Liu Bei remembered this person, he was Pang Tong's younger brother... Dear!
Liu Bei looked at Pang Lin in front of him at this time, and just now he confirmed the identity of two people again, that is, this Pang Tong's own brother, and he was even more shocked.
Although he didn't want to think like this in his heart, he couldn't help but have a somewhat absurd idea.
"You're here... Is it possible to surrender or not? ”
“.....”
“.....”
Liu Qi and Liu Pan, who came to discuss the matter, were directly stunned in place after hearing Liu Bei's words here, he really didn't expect that Liu Bei would dare to speak here.
They didn't say anything, and suddenly they asked if the other party had come to surrender.
Isn't that a joke?
Even at this moment, Liu Qi and Liu Cong felt that Liu Bei was a little too excited, causing their brains to be a little unclear?
But before they could say anything, Pang Lin's answer stunned them again.
"What Uncle Liu said is very true, I have long heard that Uncle Huang has a good eye, and now it seems that the rumors are really true!
The villain came here today with no other intention, just to invite Uncle Liu Huang to settle in Jiangling City, and then I, the Pang Clan, am willing to surrender with Nanjun!
Since then, he has been driven by Uncle Liu Huang, and at the same time, he has also made a contribution to Jingzhou! ”
Pang Lin didn't say anything, and he didn't even prescribe any conditions, so he was mysterious.
This guy directly said his thoughts, and then the posture seemed to be that the Pang family couldn't wait to throw himself into Liu Bei's arms.
With this posture and this sense of urgency, Liu Bei didn't know what to say, so he could only watch Pang Lin in front of him open his mouth speechlessly.
"What did you just say?"
Liu Bei, who was obviously ready to fight a tough battle directly under this Jiangling City to prove himself, made Pang Lin's astonishing words so that he didn't know what to say for a while.
After a while, he asked the question a little dryly.
Of course, he didn't have to fight with this Gangneung City, he had to use the blood of the soldiers to prove his ability.
He also until, if he could really come to Xiangyang City painlessly and disaster-free along the way, and finally complete his mission, it would be a great thing.
However, he really couldn't believe that this Pang family would make such a choice.
Even if this Pang Tong had already said something, he still couldn't believe it.
After all... In Liu Bei's opinion, the Pang family didn't know what the situation was with Liu Qi.
They also made it very clear that they were here to defect to themselves, not to be loyal to Liu Qi here.
He understood the trick of this, but he was a little worried when he understood it, he didn't know where he was worthy of the other party's doing!
"The villain said that Pang is willing to work for Xuande Gong, and I hope Xuande Gong will not turn him away."
Pang Lin also seemed to understand Liu Xuande's worries.
So he once again directly expressed the meaning of the Pang family, and at the same time said it very solemnly.
That serious tone, that firm look, this time really made Liu Bei sober up, and made him understand that he was definitely not dreaming just now.
But in Liu Bei's heart, he felt even more confused.
After a brief moment of surprise, Liu Bei couldn't help but shake his head at Pang Lin with a wry smile.
"As far as I know... You never seem to have thought about it..."
"Before Xuande Gong raised his army, we really didn't think about it, and this is true!"
Pang Lin understood what Liu Bei didn't say, and chuckled directly at the other party.
Then he looked at Liu Bei in front of him and continued to whisper.
"Now that the situation in Jingzhou is already understood, Xuande Gong already has some understanding, and there are already people in Xiangyang City who want to use Xiangyang City and Jingzhou in exchange for a wealth.
And I, Ponzi, am naturally among them.
But after much deliberation, I finally decided to give up on this idea.
After all, we feel that it is better to give up Jingzhou to fight for a broader future.
It's better to settle for the next best thing and continue to develop in Jingzhou, maybe this is the best choice for my Ponzi.
The homeland is difficult to leave, and we know very well that if we really surrender to the Cao family, I am afraid that we will even have to migrate to the north of the ancestral tomb next.
Otherwise, in this Jingzhou, he Cao Mengde would not be at ease.
And I can't leave Jingzhou, so I can only choose this, I hope we can still help Xuande Gong one or two..."
"It's... Naturally, this is possible. ”
Liu Bei couldn't help but laugh when he heard these words that he didn't know if they were reasons, but he looked at Pang Lin and said a few words cautiously.
"I'm just worried that I'll disappoint you..."
"Xuande Gong is really joking, Xuande Gong's name of benevolence and righteousness can be regarded as spreading all over the world, who doesn't know this world?
And how many talented and heroic men have invested in Xuande Gong in Jingzhou over the years, it is needless to say this.
Therefore, my Pang family believes that as long as my Pang family does not live up to Xuande Gong, then Xuande Gong will naturally not live up to us. ”
After Pang Lin finished speaking at this time, he took the initiative to lower his head, but the people on the side couldn't help but be a little speechless.
Especially that Liu Qi is good Liu Pan, his eyes at this time are even more weird.
Because of the tone and words that this guy just said, it seems that what he said is not some kind of surrender of the whole family, and then he wants to turn his back on his former power.
What this guy said seemed to be a trivial matter, or even a good thing that could go down in history!
The unspeakable surrender of some celebrities and gentlemen is said very simply, so openly.
It made everyone really feel a burst of surprise.
Liu Bei was the same at this time, he looked at Pang Lin in front of him, and thought of Pang Tong who appeared in front of him before.
At this time, Liu Bei had a lot more thoughts about the Pang family.
But Liu Bei is Liu Bei after all, and he can't find any problems from these words just now.
But he knew that this was definitely not a real reason, or rather, he didn't believe the surrender that Pang Lin said, he just didn't believe the reason given by Pang Lin.
Obviously, Liu Bei's attitude also made Pang Lin understand something, but he didn't continue.
He just looked at Liu Bei in front of him, and then slowly made an inviting gesture.
"The answer that Xuan Degong wants... The kid actually can't give it.
It's not that the kid has any cunning intentions, but... Xuan Degong should understand that there are some things that the kid can't know everything.
But if Xuande Gong is not afraid...
Perhaps, after the army enters Jiangling, the rest of my Pang clan will solve the confusion of Xuande Gong. ”
Looking at Pang Lin in front of him, who had already made an inviting gesture, Chen Zhi and the others beside Liu Bei couldn't help but pull his war horse.
They felt that what Pang Lin said was really a little unbelievable, if he was taken away like this, Liu Bei's safety would inevitably be affected.
Even if they didn't need this Pang family to surrender as a gesture of goodwill, they could easily take this place, they were extremely sure of this.
So at this time, they looked at Liu Bei in front of them and couldn't help but shake their heads, wanting to let Liu Bei not be impulsive.
But looking at Pang Lin in front of him who gave an invitation, and then looking at Jiangling City in the distance, Liu Bei still firmly shook off the arms of Chen Zhi and the others.
"Someone, bring a horse to Mr. Pang Lin!"
Liu Bei didn't care if this Jiangling City was surrendered by fraud or how, nor did he care if what Pang Lin said was true or not, and even he knew that he was completely sure of taking Jingzhou at this time.
He is justifiable, he has the will of Liu Qi and Liu Biao in his hands, he has a good prestige, he... He can wipe out Jingzhou!
However, he wants to do better than ever.
This Pang family is a seemingly dangerous situation, but it is also the best chance for him Liu Bei to rise.
If he can let the people of Jingzhou see his heart and determination from this matter, he will be able to really gain a firm foothold in Jingzhou in the future!
"All the soldiers listen to the order, and they are ready... Enter Gangneung Fortress! ”
Under Liu Bei's roar, Liu Bei's army once again headed in the direction of Jiangling City in Nanjun, but this time the emotions and thoughts in everyone's hearts were completely different.
