The arrival of Pang Tong can be regarded as a complete reinforcement of He Si'an's weakest link, Yizhou has a law, and there is naturally no need to worry about it when he is in charge, He Si'an has always been most worried about the north!

The north is good at martial arts, and there are not many people who are familiar with government affairs, Yan Pu is already overstretched in dealing with the affairs of the entire Hanzhong County, and Duan Xuan and Zhang Ji are better at agriculture and animal husbandry than government affairs. The two brothers Jia Mu and Jia Ji are currently helping to improve the Western Regions Protectorate, and they can't get out, as for Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Yang Ang, these people are good at guarding one side, but if the internal affairs are really a little difficult for them.

As for Cai Yong... He Si'an didn't dare to think about it.

Although Xu Shu is strategic, he can barely reach the level of Yan Pu, Dong He and others in handling government affairs, not to mention that with Jia Xu's long journey, He Si'an hopes to keep Xu Shu by his side to give advice for himself!

Now it seems that the value of Pang Tong's internal affairs in the game of later generations is definitely seriously underestimated, and it is unknown what Zhuge Liang is like, but Pang Tong's talent in internal affairs is definitely not inferior to Xun Yu!

With Pang Tong sitting in the north, I believe that the three counties of Jincheng County, Longxi County and Wudu County, which were originally separated, can be perfectly glued.

"What's the situation with the Western Regions Protectorate?"

"Lord Yu, the mother of Lord Wei Chi led the troops by herself, divided into two roads, and prepared to level the countries at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains in one fell swoop, digest the results in three to five years, and then continue to expand westward!"

"Yes, steady and steady, is the right reason!"

At this time, footsteps sounded outside the hall, and the two looked for a voice, only to see Xu Shu walking into the hall with a happy face.

"I've seen the lord, I've seen Zilong, Zilong is okay?"

"Everything is fine, but Yuan Zhi seems to be much thinner!" Zhao Yun quipped.

"Hey... Not to mention these, how is Shiyuan doing in the north? Pound Degong often asks in his letters! ”

"Thanks to the Lord's wisdom and discernment, when it comes to dealing with internal affairs, the huge man is still slightly stronger than Yuan Zhi!" Zhao Yun looked at Xu Shu apologetically, but still said it truthfully.

"Eh~ Zilong's words, don't be relieved, but in terms of internal affairs, even if there are three Xu Shu, they can't compare to one Pang Shiyuan!" Xu Shu shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"You two don't have to be modest, by the way, Zilong, have you settled down in your family?"

"My lord, they have arrived in Chengdu a few days ago and lived in the mansion arranged by the lord!"

"That's good, Zilong, this year you will temporarily follow your senior brother Zhang Ren to familiarize yourself with the situation in Xia Yizhou, starting next year, Lone will allow you to recruit anywhere outside Jincheng County, and you must cultivate an elite division for Lone within three years!"

Hearing this, Zhao Yun's eyes lit up, and he immediately knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Minister Zhao Yun, I will definitely live up to the trust of the lord!" ”

Xu Shu's heart tightened, and then he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It seems that the lord is still ruthless, and he doesn't plan to follow the fourth step that Jia Xu said that day! ’

Of course, this is also within Xu Shu's expectations, after all, along the way, He Si'an's character, he still knows a lot, and the figure of the young man who cried for the guard back then resurfaced in Xu Shu's mind.

…

Xuchang

In the Sikong Mansion, Cao Cao's strategists had all arrived, Cao Cao's eyes swept over everyone one by one, and finally fixed on Xun Yu in the first place, frowning and asking: "Fengxiao (Guo Jia's character) hasn't come back yet?" ”

"Yu Sikong, the news came before, Fengxiao will take a few days to arrive in Xuchang!" Xun Yu replied respectfully.

"I heard that King Hongnong's side recently got a young man, named Pang Tong, who has managed the two counties of Longxi and Wudu in an orderly manner in just a few months, is this serious?"

"That's true, even the rather unruly Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and other people from the Liangzhou Army are full of praise for it! Although I don't think it's as weak as Wen, it's not much different! Xun You replied.

Hearing this, Cao Cao frowned and asked, "Do you know where this Pang Tong came from?" ”

"My subordinates know a lot about it!"

The person who opened his mouth was Cheng Yu, who had recently defected to Cao Cao, the word Zhongde!

"Oh? Zhongde knows? Tell me about it! Cao Cao asked with interest.

"Pang Tong, the word Shiyuan, a native of Xiangyang, Jingzhou, the nephew of the great Confucian Pang Degong, is one of Mr. Shuijing's three favorite disciples, and he has the title of "the crown of Nanzhou Shi" in Jingxiang at a young age! Cheng Yu said respectfully.

"Mr. Shui Jing is really in vain, and the apprentices handed over are all outstanding people! Back then, Xu Shu resisted my 200,000 army with a mere 50,000 people, and now there is a Pang Shiyuan..."As if thinking of something, Cao Cao's expression froze, and then he laughed loudly!

Everyone didn't know why, so they only heard Cao Cao continue: "Laugh at that Yuan Benchu and that Liu Jingzhou are the overlords of one side, and their vision is not as good as that of a young man who has lived in the deep palace for a long time!" Look at the goods under the two of them, and then look at King Hongnong, he is simply a dog who has lived to his age! ”

Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter, and when the laughter in the hall stopped, Cao Cao continued to ask: "Zhong De just said that Mr. Shui Jing has three senior disciples, one of them is Xu Shu Xiao'er, and the other is this Pang Tong Pang Shiyuan, what about the third one?" ”

"The third compound surname is Zhuge , and the single name is bright, since Kong Ming! Don't hide it from Lord Sikong, Yu and Mr. Shuijing also have some friendship, if Lord Sikong doesn't give up, Yu is willing to go to Jingzhou in person and win over Zhuge Kongming for Lord Sikong! ”

Hearing this, Cao Cao was overjoyed and praised Cheng Yu lavishly, and then the topic turned to today's topic.

"What do you think of the current situation?" Cao Cao was the first to ask.

Xun You took the lead in getting up and clenching his fists and spoke: "Now our biggest enemy is Yuan Shao of Hebei, followed by King Hongnong, but our biggest problem at present is that the two of them currently have no other enemies except Lord Sikong, and they can completely recuperate and wait for the day!" On the other hand, Lord Sikong, there is Yuan Shu in the south and Ma Chao in the west!

The latter is okay, although the surface is in an alliance with King Hongnong, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that King Hongnong is more of a use of it, once it has any changes, then King Hongnong will definitely not have any scruples, and directly tear his face with it!

In other words, compared with the other two forces, there is only one biggest disadvantage of Lord Sikong, Yuan Shu! ”

Seeing Xun You finish speaking, several people on the side echoed one after another!

Cao Cao also nodded, and after the hall quieted down, Cao Cao continued to ask: "Now that Yuan Shao is fighting the south bank of the river, and Yuan Shu is building Shouchun like an iron bucket, it is obviously not a moment's work, what do we think?" ”

"Why don't you let Liu Biao and Liu Miao in the south jointly send troops?" Full pet asked.

"No!" Cheng Yu opened his mouth to refute, and then continued: "Not to mention that there is some certainty that they can convince Liu Biao and them, the Han clan is the natural opposite of Lord Sikong, even if they defeat Yuan Shu, they may also use force against Lord Sikong!" There's so much uncertainty here! ”

"I heard that Sun Jian, the Taishou of Changsha, is quite dissatisfied with Liu Biao, why not order him to attack Shouchun?"

"No, in this way, even if Sun Jian wins, it is likely that he will be replaced!"

Everyone, you say a word, I say a word, Cao Cao is a little big, his eyes turned, looking at the two people in the hall who did not speak, Xun Yu's situation, Cao Cao knows it, can only say that Cao Cao and Xun Yu have different concepts, one hopes to help the Han family, and the other hopes to make himself bigger, that is to say, sooner or later, the contradiction between the two will end up in a sword and a soldier!

At this time, Cao Cao's eyes turned to another person who had been silent from beginning to end, this person had the surname Sima, but his name was Yi, and his word was Zhongda, and he was a person who was highly recommended by full of favors!

Although I don't know why, Cao Cao always feels that this person has an unpredictable feeling, but first, this person's perspective on the problem is indeed different from others, with its own unique angle and height! Second... It is because his father Sima Fang was Jing Zhaoyin in his early years, and he was also quite familiar with Cao Cao! So, it was decided to use Sima Yi!

However, even Cao Cao had to admit that this person's eyes were extremely oppressive, which made people unhappy!

Cao Cao stared at Sima Yi with a slight squint, but he quickly stretched out, and asked casually, "I don't know what Zhongda thinks?" ”

Sima Yi showed a shy smile, and then spoke: "I don't know how to let Liu Xuande attack?" ”

Hearing this, everyone pondered in silence, and after a while, Cheng Yu took the lead in speaking: "What is the difference between Liu Bei and Liu Biao and Liu Xuan?" Why did you choose Liu Bei at the expense of the far and near? ”

"Brother Zhongde's words are wrong, Yi has two reasons, which shows that Liu Bei is the most suitable!

Although Liu Biao and others are ambitious and talented, they still have ambitions in the final analysis, but Liu Bei is different, I heard that he drank and had fun all day after coming to Xuchang, which proves that this person does not have much ambition! This is one of them!

Different from Jingzhou and Yangzhou where Liu Biao and others are located, Xuzhou where Liu Bei is located is close to my Yanzhou, to say something that I don't like, even if Liu Bei is ambitious, but the monk can't run the temple, Xuzhou is located in the plain and Pingchuan, if it really has a change, we can directly break its foundation! ”

Hearing this, everyone, including Cao Cao, was silent for a while, thinking about the feasibility of what Sima Yi said!

…

In the mansion that Cao Cao bought for Liu Bei, Liu Bei was drinking happily surrounded by several beauties.

The guards at the door looked at the scene inside and couldn't help but be envious.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and the guards turned around and found that the person who came was Cao Cao, who was about to kneel and kowtow, but saw Cao Cao make a silent gesture, and then waved his hand to signal him to retreat, and the soldier bowed down to receive the order and slowly withdrew from the hall!

The sound of silk and bamboo in the hall was noisy, and the action here happened behind Liu Bei's side, Liu Bei didn't seem to notice the movement here, and was still drinking and having fun!

Cao Cao came to the place where the soldiers stood before, and looked at Liu Bei in the hall silently.

After nearly a quarter of an hour, Cao Cao did not go in to talk to Liu Bei, but slowly retreated with the corners of his mouth slightly curled, and finally left Liu's mansion.

As Cao Cao left, there seemed to be a long cry in the hall, but in this noisy hall, no one noticed it!

Early the next morning
