Chapter 18: Destiny in Hand
The next day, Pang He was still thinking about how to save his senior brother. It was just morning, and the sun had been out for a long time. Huangfu Yinghua walked quickly to Pang He's study, Pang He didn't notice it, he was just looking down and thinking about things.
Because the door was open, Huangfu Yinghua walked in front of Pang He and said, "You better go for a trip, Huaiyin City has me, you can rest assured." ”
Pang He raised his head: "Sir, yes, sir, why are you here!"
Huangfu Yinghua said: "Today, Shaoli told me that Miss Hu came yesterday and left in a hurry, I know that the matter must be more urgent." But you are more stubborn, I also told Miss Su last time, since you are not at ease, you can go over, it is better than worrying here. ”
Pang He sighed: "I don't even know if I can stop this matter myself, and I don't have any good way." Sir, if it is you, how do you do it. ”
Huangfu Yinghua said: "There are some things that the authorities are obsessed with. If I were you, I would be the same as you in this case. But now, from my point of view, I think that as long as we do our best, no matter what the result is, we can only accept it, and this result must be the best result. ”
Pang He said: "What Mr. means is that as long as I do my best, it's fine, but if I don't succeed, it's always a bit of a pity." ”
Huangfu Yinghua said: "There are always regrets in life, no one can have the life they imagined, even if the emperor of the dynasty, he can't have the life he dreamed of." Therefore, as long as our fate is in our own hands and we do our best, even if we have more regrets, we will have reason to be relieved. ”
Pang He said: "What Mr. said is that we just need to do our best, and as for whether we succeed or not, it all depends on the will of God." I have one more thing to ask sir!"
Huangfu Yinghua said: "Please speak!"
Pang He said: "What would you do if your brother, who had a good relationship with you, suddenly became your hostile side one day?"
Huangfu Yinghua said: "This, in fact, is very simple, everyone has their own ambitions. As long as you think it's right, do it, don't worry about your emotions, and treat it sensibly. In fact, many of our things are often too many worries and hesitations, which leads to a dilemma. You know, there are some things that don't have answers, and what you do and don't do, will hurt you. Rather than this, it is better to take the initiative into your own hands. ”
Pang He suddenly realized: "What Mr. said is that there are some things that cannot give you a perfect explanation without an accurate answer. There is a right and a wrong thing to do and not to do. Instead of sitting back and waiting, it is better to take the initiative, perhaps, so as to live up to yourself. ”
Huangfu Yinghua said: "Well, it's good that you have figured it out, now, you are ready to pack it up and go to Zengtou City to have a look." There are some things that you don't think about too much, and once you relent, you may miss the best time. I think you're smart and should know what's best. ”
Pang He nodded: "Thank you, sir, for teaching, listening to Mr. today, Pang He suddenly woke up, I will go to clean up and prepare to go north to Zengtou City." ”
Huangfu Yinghua said: "Well, then you clean up, what about me, it's time to go!"
Pang He and Su Ying went to clean up and soon set off for Zengtou City.
In Huaiyin City, it was all handed over to Huangfu Yinghua to take care of, although Huangfu Yinghua was already old, but there was no ambiguity in dealing with things, plus Lu Shaoli's help, in the days when Pang He left, it was carried out in an orderly manner, and the economy of Huaiyin City was booming. I have to say that the vision of the person selected by Fang La is really good, and his strength is indeed reasonable. Although it can't be said to be a confrontation between the north and the south now, at least the imperial court can't do anything with them in a short time. Unless people are mobilized from the north, Fang La's main force can be defeated. Otherwise, with the strength of Jiangnan and several nearby cities, it was not Fang La's opponent at all.
On the other side, Pang He met Hu Sanniang and Lin Chong in Zengtou City. Both of them said that Shi Wengong was too stubborn, but fortunately, Song Jiang didn't enter for the time being, but he kept besieging and didn't engage in too many battles. Pang He was able to enter Zengtou City because of this, but the pressure on Zengtou City was really not small, and it was very difficult to break through in the face of the siege of several times more troops, let alone defeat Song Jiang. And Pang He's ability to enter Zengtou City also shows that Song Jiang can also let people infiltrate Zengtou City, and in the face of such pressure, the garrison of Zengtou City has been lax to a certain extent. This also illustrates a problem, Zengtou City will definitely be broken if there is no accident. And the siege of Song Jiang is estimated to be attacking the heart, and when the defenders of Zengtou City are defeated, they will take a fatal blow, and even, they can achieve the surrender of the army without a fight with the siege, and easily take over the territory of Zengtou City.
Pang He told Lin Chong about the worries in his heart, and Lin Chong felt that it made sense: "That's right, it's only been a few days now, and the psychology of Zeng Lang's people has changed a lot. I also think that it is a matter of time and necessity for Song Jiang to capture Zengtou City. ”
Hu Sanniang said: "Then what should we do now, is it, like last time, to help Zeng Rong?"
Pang He said: "No, I have made this person, and he is definitely not a good person." The last time we left, he must have held a grudge. Even if we are kind enough to help, he will never accept it sincerely. ”
Lin Chong agreed: "That's right, what Senior Brother said is. Zeng made this person, and he was definitely not a very good person to get along with. ”
Pang He continued: "Besides, even if we have the heart to help now, we have no power to return to heaven. Now this game is a dead end, no matter how we solve it, it is dead. So, let's not think about how to solve this game. The only thing we can do is to forcibly take Senior Brother Shi away, which is also the purpose of our coming here, in addition, if we have any more actions, it will be extremely disadvantageous to us. ”
Hu Sanniang asked, "That husband, what are you going to do?"
Pang He said: "I just came here, and there is nothing I can do about it for the time being. I heard you say, it's very difficult to get close to Senior Brother Shi. Then we can only wait, wait for an opportunity, or, wait for Song Jiang to attack the city, and take him away while Senior Brother Shi is concentrating on fighting Song Jiang. At this time, there is another advantage, that is, the war is chaotic and it is easy to escape. We can take advantage of this opportunity and get out of here. ”
Lin Chong said: "It's good to be good, but there is also a drawback. ”
Pang He said: "I know that the disadvantage of this is that we can only gamble once, and once we lose, we don't have any chance." ”
Lin Chong nodded and said, "Yes!"
Pang He said: "Since we don't have a chance, let's gamble once!"
