Chapter 51: A Match of Fate
After returning to Huaiyin, Pang He didn't expect that Fang La would be waiting for him in Huaiyin City, in the study room of Lu Shaoli's house, on the chair he often sits. From Pang He's entrance, Fang La didn't let anyone say that he was sitting on that chair waiting for him. It wasn't until Pang He entered the door that he found Fang Lazhen sitting and waiting for him. Pang He immediately knelt down and said, "Meet the sect leader!"
Fang La got up from the chair and helped Pang He up: "What's the matter, why are you becoming more and more formal." Wang Qing's matter, I already know, this Wang Qing, really didn't have any ability, it was solved so easily. β
Pang He said to Fang La: "There is one more thing, Song Jiang already knows that the sect leader sent me over. β
Fang La said a little worriedly: "I already know about this matter, Wang Qing is not capable of this person. If you know, you'll know, there's going to be a fight between us anyway. In fact, as early as when we met in Suzhou City, I knew that there would be a battle between us. Chao Gai was too kind, which led to Song Jiang capturing Liangshan today. β
Pang He said: "Yes, I didn't expect Song Jiang to be willing to be Cai Jing's pawn. β
Fang La pointed to the letter on the table: "This letter was written to me by Song Jiang, and he persuaded me to hand you over to him for disposal." Otherwise, he will lead the army of Liangshan to attack my Jiangnan, you say, how can I reply to him?"
Pang He said: "I think the sect leader must have some idea in his heart when he says this now, otherwise, the sect leader will not say that, right?"
"Haha!" Fang La smiled: "Those who know me, Pang Heye! Yes, I have some ideas in my heart, but I want to hear your opinion now!"
Pang He said: "Then what do they think about Prime Minister Lou!"
Fang La said: "I didn't ask them, they didn't get along with Song Jiang. You and Song Jiang have been together in Liangshan for so long, and you know Song Jiang best, so I want to hear your opinion. β
Pang He smiled bitterly: "It seems that the sect leader must listen to my thoughts." My idea is actually very simple, do I agree with the sect leader's idea!"
Fang La said: "Do you know what I think?"
Pang He said with a smile: "The sect leader has already seen Song Jiang in Suzhou City, and the sect leader has also made a lot of inquiries about Song Jiang's situation, so he is naturally able to make the most correct judgment." Although I have been with Song Jiang for a while and know his personality, the sect leader does not know much about him. Since we know what kind of person Song Jiang is, then the thoughts of me and the sect leader are basically the same. Since it's pretty much the same, I don't think there's any need to say it, do I?"
Fang La said: "However, I still want to hear what you say!"
Pang He said: "Actually, we all know very well what kind of person Song Jiang is. The purpose of saying this is nothing more than to divide his enemies. Get rid of me first, and then face off against you, the Master. β
Fang La said: "That's right, I think Song Jiang seems to be very afraid of you and me, what do you think?"
"He was afraid of me because in the same situation, he couldn't win against me, and it always was, without exceptions," Pang He said. He was afraid of the sect leader because his current strength was not enough, and he still needed Cai Jing's help. However, I think he should also understand that if his strength is finished, then his end will not be far away. β
Fang La said: "Actually, there are some things that he can't help anymore. You must know that Cai Jing can influence him now because Cai Jing's strength is stronger than him. As for Song Jiang, he can only be obedient, that is, even if he is unwilling to fight me, he has to fight me. β
Pang He agreed: "Yes, it does. Cai Jing has installed a lot of generals around Song Jiang, such as Guan Sheng of the big sword, Dong Ping, the general of the two guns, Suo Chao, and other officials of the imperial court. In fact, to put it nicely, it is to give you these people, and to put it mildly, it is to let these people control you. β
Fang La said: "If Song Jiang wants rights, then he must have Cai Jing's support." But Cai Jing is not a fool, he will not train opponents for himself, he will only use them, and after achieving his goals, he will discard you. It can only be said that Song Jiang was carried away by power, so that now people don't look like people, and ghosts don't look like ghosts. β
Pang He said: "That's right, at the beginning, Song Jiang didn't think about it, or he thought too naΓ―vely, which led to the way he is now, unable to extricate himself, and can even be said to be obediently appointed." If he had figured it out in the first place, things wouldn't be where they are today. β
Fang La said: "Then you say, how should I reply?"
Pang He said: "Since the duel is inevitable, let Song Jiang let the horse come." Showing his confidence and momentum in this way made Song Jiang worried. β
Fang La continued to ask, "Then what should I say, if it were you, how would you write it?"
Pang He said: "If it were me, I would write, sit firmly in the south of the Yangtze River, and wait for Er's attack! If you don't come, you will take Shandong directly!"
Fang La said: "Although it is only eight words, it can also express the meaning I want to express, but I think it is still inappropriate!"
Pang He said: "I also think, but I can only think about this." βγ
Fang La said: "It's okay, you and I actually think about the same. Now Huaiyin, what are you going to do?"
Pang He was ashamed and said: "Actually, Huaiyin has always been taken care of by Mr. Huangfu, and I have hardly contributed much, and my subordinates are really ashamed of the sect leader." β
Fang La said: "You have actually done a lot of things for me, Tian Hu and Wang Qing, they have also caused Song Jiang to lose a lot." This also gives us a chance to breathe, to be honest, now I want to face Song Jiang, although I am sure of winning, it will be very difficult to win. β
Pang He said: "That's right, I have a hunch that Song Jiang will definitely start from Huaiyin!"
Fang La asked, "Why is that?"
Pang He smiled: "Of course, it's because I'm in Huaiyin." And the current Huaiyin can still be weak, and it is not so easy to defend it. β
Fang La said: "Huaiyin's city defense, I'm a little worried now. I don't know when Song Jiang will attack, and I'm worried that we don't have enough time to prepare. β
Pang He said: "Actually, Song Jiang is the same as us, if he wants to be strong, he must have time to develop, and we are the same." The problem lies with Cai Jing, he doesn't want us and Song Jiang to be strong the most, so he will find a way to let Song Jiang die, and Song Jiang will also find a way to delay until he can't delay. β
Fang La said: "Well, what you said makes sense. I'm still thinking about it, if Song Jiang can really figure it out and deal with Cai Jing with me, it would be great, it's a pity, it's a pity!"
Pang He said: "That's no way, unless Song Jiang can figure it out." However, I think that even if he really figured it out, it would be impossible for us to join him, unless he was willing to risk his life and fight Cai Jing first. β
Fang La said: "Well, okay, you go and rest, I have to go back to see my daughter!"
Pang He sent the following wax and went back to the house to rest.
