Chapter 2: The Arrival of the Phoenix

"Thank you for saving your life!"

In Jiangling City, not long after returning to the Prefecture Governor's Mansion under the protection of Zhao Yun, Liu Chan welcomed a middle-aged scribe with thick eyebrows and short beard who was less than five feet tall, with dark skin and a nose facing the sky, to pay a grand salute.

Needless to say, among the scribes of the Three Kingdoms, there is no one else who calls himself 'Tong' and has such a strange description, except for the famous 'Phoenix Chick' Pang Tong.

"The military advisor doesn't have to be polite, the kid was far away in Jiangdong at that time, and all he could do was to do his best and obey the destiny of heaven. Fortunately, the military division escaped, this is the luck of the father, the blessing of the Han Dynasty......"

Facing this Feng Xiao military division whose appearance and reputation are very different, Liu Chan did not dare to take the young master's shelf. While quickly getting up and returning the salute, the sycophants that have been practiced in Jiangdong in the past few years are even more casually offered.

As the saying goes, people cannot be disguised, and the sea cannot be measured. Although Pang Tong is ugly, his talent is a generation of heroes who can be compared with Zhuge God.

Therefore, although it was the first time to see this famous phoenix chick, Liu Chan, who had seen all kinds of strange people on the Internet in later generations, did not take his so-called eccentric description to heart at all. Anyway, it's not a woman, why do you want to be so beautiful!

"It doesn't matter if you do your best, or if you listen to the destiny of heaven, it is a fact that this life is saved by the son. It's just that Tong is really curious, Gongzi has never been to Xichuan, how did he get to this place in Fengpo, and he accurately predicted the matter of Tongzhongfu......"

Shaking his head, Pang Tong didn't care about Liu Chan's sycophants, but asked curiously how Liu Chan knew that he would lie in wait in Luofeng Slope.

It turned out that when Liu Bei and Pang Tong had just arrived in Mianzhu, the two received warning letters from Jingzhou and Jiangdong successively.

Needless to say, the warning letter from Jiangdong came from Liu Chan himself.

Pang Tong can regard Zhuge Liang's warning letter as Zhuge Liang's fear of his merit, but for Liu Chan, a young master who has no competition with him, no matter how arrogant he is, it is impossible to turn a blind eye to him.

What's more, in the warning letter, Liu Chan was very 'arrogant' and made a bet with him, as long as he lost, he would return to Jingzhou and help him set foot in Jiangdong and capture Sun Quan alive.

Therefore, even if he didn't believe it in his heart, Pang Tong, who had always been arrogant and stubborn, really remembered the matter of falling Fengpo for this bet.

Therefore, although he was indeed still ambushed in the Luofeng Slope later, because he had already taken precautions, he wore double armor, although he was still seriously injured, but he saved his life and avoided the misfortune of 'Luofeng'.

However, although Pang Tong is arrogant and stubborn, he is a very trustworthy person. Taking advantage of the opportunity of Yucheng's injury, he immediately released the news of his fake death, and had a 'dragon and phoenix exchange' with Zhuge Liang, and secretly returned to Jingzhou.

"Well, when the kid was in Jiangdong, he once felt a chill, and had a very bizarre strange dream under the high heat. In the dream, the kid saw with his own eyes that the military advisor was killed by an arrow in Luofengpo's body......"

Facing Pang Tong's puzzled eyes, it was impossible for Liu Chan to move 'Luo Dada' out, so he could only fool him with the supernatural event of the dream, which no one could prove.

In fact, Liu Chan did have been infected with wind chill and high fever in Jiangdong, but that was when he replaced the original Liu Chan in a daze. Therefore, his somewhat fantastical foolish words are not completely false.

"I see, this is God bless the son, God bless my big man!"

After listening to Liu Chan's half-truth, Pang Tong did not doubt the truth of his words.

After all, in this time and space where Liu Chan has not yet figured out whether it is romance or history, Zhuge Liang can 'calculate' Pang Tong's calamity by means of celestial phenomena, what is a dream of warning from heaven?

"I don't know if it's God-bless kid, but with the help of the Feng Xiao military division, the kid believes that stepping on Jiangdong will be just around the corner, and it will be as easy as a palm!"

"Hahahaha, Childe is arrogant!"

In the face of Liu Chan's explicit but domineering sycophants, Pang Tong, who has always been arrogant, couldn't help laughing.

"It's just that the prince can know that the reason why the lord ceded the land east of Xiangshui was to continue to form an alliance with Jiangdong to fight against Cao thieves. If Gongzi insisted on starting a war with Jiangdong, wouldn't he ruin the lord's plan for personal revenge? ”

After laughing, Pang Tong was jokingly admitted to the school Liu Chan, a young master who had been a hostage in Jiangdong for three years.

"Right now, Cao Thief is powerful, and the kid naturally knows. Although Jiangdong has formed an alliance with us, it is not sincere, and he just wants us to share the pressure on him. And among the Jiangdong monarchs and ministers, according to the boy, except for Lu Zijing, the rest of the people did not really take this covenant to heart at all. If Lu Zijing is not there one day......"

"As the saying goes, you can't have the heart to harm others, and you can't have the heart to prevent people. Even if we don't fight them, they will still break their covenant. Rather than passively accept it at the end of the day, it is better to prepare early, as long as we don't hit the first ...... Uh, just don't let go of the first arrow! ”

Liu Chan, who almost became the 'first shot' in passing, quickly changed it to the 'first arrow' when the words came to his mouth.

"This is all Childe's speculation, how can Childe be sure that Jiangdong will definitely break the covenant?"

After listening to Liu Chan's reasoning, although he agreed very much in his heart, Pang Tong's examination was not over.

"Needless to say, don't talk about Sun Quan's Jiangdong rat generation, even if it is his father Liu Bei or himself, if his strength allows, he will still break the covenant." It's just that it may not be as bad as Sun Quan! ’

Hearing Pang Tong's words, Liu Chan couldn't help but pouted secretly in his heart. It's just that I can only say this in my heart.

After all, since ancient times, our Chinese nation has been famous for its teachers. Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, Liu Chan changed his angle and answered eloquently.

"Military advisor, not to mention that Jiangdong's raid on Changsha, Lingling and Guiyang this time is a precedent, just because of the geographical location of Jingzhou, Jiangdong will not give up the backstabbing thing......"

No way, Jingzhou's geographical location is too important.

You must know that long before Zhuge Liang, Lu Su had proposed a Jiangdong version of the 'Longzhong pair' plan for Sun Quan. In this plan, the most important step is to take Jingzhou and master the entire Yangtze River defense line.

Whether Jingzhou is in hand or not directly affects whether the Yangtze River natural insurance in Jiangdong's hands is complete. Only by taking full control of the Yangtze River defense line can Jiangdong truly mitigate the threat from the west and north.

At the same time, Jingzhou is also the key to whether Jiangdong can go on the Northern Expedition. As the saying goes, to defend the river, you must defend the Huai, but on the other hand, if Sun Quan wants to wave the Northern Expedition, he can only take the Huai River area and Jingzhou as the base of the Northern Expedition.

It's just that there are many rivers in the Huai River, not to mention, Cao Cao also sent generals Zhang Liao, Li Dian, Le Jin and other good generals to lead heavy troops to guard. If you want to take the Huaihe region, which Cao Cao focuses on, it is too difficult for Sun Quan's strength. Therefore, occupying Jingzhou is actually the only choice for Jiangdong.

It can be said that without Jingzhou, Jiangdong would not have the possibility of establishing a country. How can this be endured by Sun Quan, who has the intention of achieving a 'great cause'?

Therefore, in order to seize Jingzhou, Sun Quan, who was able to do even such a lack of virtue and unfilial piety as lying that his mother was seriously ill, can you expect him to abide by the covenant for the sake of the overall situation?

"As the saying goes, the pinch of the pinch is soft, compared to the Cao thief, our strength is not strong now. Therefore, as long as he suffers a few losses in Hefei, Sun Quan will definitely shift his attention to Jingzhou. ”

In the end, Liu Chan, who knew the urine nature of Jiangdong Junchen, perfectly summarized Pang Tong's examination school with the sentence 'pinching the soft one'.

"Heaven blesses, the lord has a successor, and there is hope for the revival of the Han family!"

Pang Tong, who has always been arrogant, couldn't help but nod his head with great satisfaction after hearing Liu Chan's analysis.

"Then I wonder what Childe plans to do next?"

In the end, Pang Tong, who was satisfied, looked at Liu Chan again.

It's just that unlike the previous school examination, this time his black face glowing red did not mean to take the school examination, and some were just curious.
