Uncle Emperor, I am really not Wolong Zhuge!

Chapter 117 Jingzhou Leader and Zhuge Wende

In the Xiangyang Military Advisor's Mansion.

When Zhuge Ming saw Jian Yong ushering Huang Chengyan, Mr. Shui Jing, and Mr. Pang Degong in, he smiled slightly and signaled to be quiet for now.

The three of them were extremely surprised, and Pang Degong was even more suspicious. His nephew Pang Tong returned to Jingzhou from Jiangdong. He heard Liu Bei's various unfaithful operations and did not believe it. More than ten days ago, he bid farewell to his uncle and went to Xiangyang, vowing to find out and assist Liu Bei. Who is the mastermind behind Jing Xiang?Why are you kneeling before Zhuge Ming now?

Pang Tong turned around, glanced at the three of them, ignored and turned to Zhuge Ming and said, "Kong Ming and I have known each other for many years, and we are old friends. Before Shi Yuan came to Jingzhou, he already understood the strategies used by military advisors to conquer Jingzhou. I admire him, but I don't respect him, because even though Shi Yuan is not talented, he can still come up with such a plan if he is careful."

"But after coming to Xiangyang for ten days, I personally watched the military advisors stir up the world, making it difficult for Cao Cao to look after him. He mobilized his troops from thousands of miles away, and the Southern Barbarian King Meng Huo bowed to you. Jiangdong Zhou Yu was so heroic and ambitious that he also naturally Gan Zhefu dare not have the slightest involvement in Jingzhou."

"To this day, Shi Yuan still dares to say that no matter in the world, whether it is running a country or sending troops and deploying troops, except for Mr. Zhuge, the military counselor, no one in the world can surpass me, at most, only two or three days! Everyone else, before me They all look like mediocre people, not worth mentioning!"

Everyone was listening. Although Pang Tong's words were a little arrogant, no one dared to doubt Feng Chu's strength.

Only Zhuge Ming, sitting at the top, listened to Pang Tong's words, his brows wrinkled slightly, and then relaxed in an instant.Kong Ming sat aside, watching the fire clearly, sighing secretly, lowering his head and saying nothing.

Pang Tong paused for a moment, then raised his head and saw that Zhuge Ming was silent, so he continued: "Shi Yuan is here, and he has nothing else to ask for. He also wants to join Kong Ming in worshiping the military advisor's house, and serve him morning and night. If he can get some advice from the military advisor, Guidance will be of endless use throughout your life!”

The majestic Fengxiao actually surrendered to others and wanted to worship in Zhuge Yong's name?
The three major clans were listening, all horrified.

Mr. Pang De's beard trembled angrily, he raised the cane in his right hand high and suddenly dropped it to the ground.

But when I was almost reaching the ground, I suddenly remembered that this was not the prefect’s mansion in Nanjun, nor was it the residence of his Huang family!
This is the residence of Zhuge Ming, the military advisor of Jingxiang!

And Zhuge Ming's words can make the Jingzhou clan prosperous, or it can make the Jingzhou clan disappear in an instant and die without a burial place!

Roaring in the hall, a crime of disrespect!
But in anger, Pang Degong's cane could no longer hold back. Seeing this sound, it was about to ruin the fate of the Jingzhou clan.

After all, Pang Degong was a famous scholar in Jingzhou, and he was very resourceful. Although he was not as good as his nephew Pang Tong, he was still much stronger than others.

In desperation, Pang Degong's right foot suddenly stretched out, and the end of the cane hit his right foot hard.

"Ton!"

The slight voice did not attract anyone's attention.

But the heart-wrenching pain had already made Pang Degong's face turn purple, and tears were falling from the corners of his eyes.

"In our small area of ​​Jingzhou, it is more than enough to have Ma Liang and Kong Ming here. If Shi Yuan comes again, it will be a waste of talents and it is really unnecessary."

Zhuge Ming waited for Pang Tong to finish speaking before speaking calmly.

"Military advisor, brother..."

"Shi Yuan is a great talent. Jingzhou has just been appointed. It is the time to employ people. Yun Chang Zi Long and other places need talents like Pang Tong. Why not keep them? Shi Yuan doesn't mind the position. As long as he can follow the military advisor, he will be satisfied. "

Kong Ming was sitting aside and heard his brother Zhuge Ming reject Pang Tong. He was anxious and couldn't help but speak.

He also knew that what the military advisor said was true, but if a great talent like Pang Tong was rejected by Jingzhou, he would definitely go elsewhere. If he went to Xuchang or Jiangdong, he would definitely be a trouble for Jingzhou in the future!
So even if you arrange a casual position, at least first appease Pang Tong and put an end to his resentment, and then think of other solutions.

"What do you think Shi Yuan is like about Zhou Yu's talent?"

Zhuge Ming suddenly asked.

"Zhou Yu?"

Pang Tong thought for a moment, raised his head and looked at Zhuge Ming, and said slowly: "Zhou Yu is talented, courageous, and the chief wise man in Jiangdong!"

"But this man is arrogant and has a violent temper!"

"From Sun Quan on down, all officials in Jiangdong, both civil and military, are under his control. If they have any objections, they will be beaten or scolded. Last time, in order to prevent the Jiangdong nobles from wanting to surrender, in front of all officials and Sun Quan, Lu was executed immediately. Achievement. Such an arrogant person may not be able to last long, and his life is destined to be immortal."

Zhuge Ming nodded: "Shi Yuan's accuracy in identifying people is admirable. I intend for you to go to Jiangdong. If I go to war with Cao Cao in the future, Jiangdong is my ally. If you are in Jiangdong, you can help me fight against Cao Cao. .”

Pang Tong looked troubled and said in a low voice: "Leading the horse and riding the pedal, I only want to serve the military advisor and listen to the teachings. Even if I go to Jiangdong to become an ancestor, I still don't want to take away anything..."

Zhuge Ming said seriously: "Shi Yuan, I have something to say, please keep it in your heart."

Pang Tongtong was startled and asked curiously: "Please tell me clearly, military advisor. I will keep it in mind and dare not forget it."

Zhuge Ming stood up, walked slowly down the desk steps, came to Pang Tong, and said solemnly: "Although Zhou Yu is a great talent, he is nothing in your eyes. But when you go to Jiangdong, no matter who asks Who do you recognize most, you must say Zhou Yu!"

Pang Tong raised his head and wanted to ask again, but Zhuge Ming waved his sleeves and already left for the back hall.

Jian Yong led Pang Degong and three others through the middle hall, followed closely behind, and entered the back hall.

"Shi Yuan, please listen to the military advisor's instructions and go to Jiangdong to establish yourself first. As soon as there is an opportunity, you will recommend yourself and join Sun Quan's adviser camp. With Shi Yuan's talent, how can you keep it hidden?"

When Zhuge Liang saw Pang Tong Leng on the spot, he hurriedly stepped forward to help him up and comforted him.Ma Liang also came over. Although he and Pang Tong were not as familiar with each other as Zhuge Liang, they had met several times: "Shi Yuan, don't be discouraged and go to Jiangdong for a while. My military adviser once said that Cao Cao will not give up when he leaves. They will still make a comeback in the future. One day when the Sun and Liu families join forces, there will be many places in Jiangdong that they can rely on you."

Pang Tong listened to the two people's sincere words of comfort and relief, then reluctantly nodded and left angrily.

……

In the inner hall, Zhuge Ming sat in the chief companion position, Kong Ming sat in the second deputy companion position, and Ma Liang sat side by side to accompany them.

Zhuge Ming diligently persuaded the three Jingzhou celebrities to drink wine and repeatedly thanked the three Jingzhou celebrities for their generous gifts.

"Since I took the initiative to capture Xiangyang, I have been thinking about the three of them. It is often said that the three of them are the representatives of Jingzhou's celebrities. The style of Jingzhou can be found in the three of them. However, the troops and horses are ruthless and the wars are frequent. Although they have their intentions, they are not at the right time. We didn't get what we wanted. I didn't expect that just over a month later, the three of them would deign to come to Xiangyang in person!"

Zhuge Ming raised his wine glass high and sighed as he looked extremely moved.

Mr. Shui Jing, Sima Hui, stood up in a hurry, filled the wine glass in his hand, touched Zhuge Ming's glass respectfully, and said with an apologetic smile: "We have also missed Uncle Liu and Military Advisor Mr. Zhuge for a long time. It's just Cai Mao. During the war, Jingzhou was reduced to a mess, but fortunately Uncle Liu brought the chaos back and saved Jingzhou."

"exactly!"

Pang Degong continued: "To be honest with the military advisor, Mr. Huang and I have a lot of property in Jingzhou, and it takes a lot of effort to run the food business. Cai Mao couldn't escape and destroyed all our property in Xiangyang. That's why we moved our business south and put it in South County.”

Pang Degong was afraid that Zhuge Ming would suspect that they were staying away from Xiangyang and intended to surrender to Cao Cao, so he took the initiative to explain the matter.

But in fact, Cai Mao fled in a hurry. How could he have time to destroy his property?Even the money, grain and property that Cai Mao collected from the Jingxiang clan were too late to take away and fell into the hands of Huang Chengyan and Pang Degong.

"Of course I understand! Haha!"

Zhuge Ming laughed loudly, looking like he didn't care at all.

"I see. I thought the heavy gift from the three of you was for me and Lord Liu Huangshu. Now it seems that I was wrong. It turned out to be for you!"

Zhuge Ming held the wine glass in his right hand, and suddenly stretched out his index finger with his left hand and pointed at Ma Liang beside him.

"what!"

The three major clans exclaimed slightly, not knowing why.

Even Ma Liang and Zhuge Liang didn't know what military advisor Zhuge Ming meant.

"Ji Chang, don't you understand yet?"

Zhuge Ming looked at Ma Liang with a smile: "It's a lie that the three of them came to Xiangyang to visit me. Their real intention is to have a good relationship with you!"

"Jingzhou's merchant economy is all in your hands."

"Three celebrities came here. If I expected it to be true, they want to move the family business to Xiangyang again. But aren't they trying to please you, the general person in charge of the gentry's economy?"

Huang Chengyan was stunned for a moment, but he rushed here and did not allow him to think too much. He could only nod and apologize and said with a smile: "How could Military Advisor Zhuge guess wrong? It is just as the military advisor said. The three of us all want to take over Nanjun's property." , transferred to Xiangyang, I hope Ji Chang will take good care of him."

Ma Liang was overjoyed. Unexpectedly, he did not need to attract investment, so he re-introduced three rich clansmen. He hurriedly filled the bowl and drank with the three celebrities.

……

It wasn't until late at night that the banquet finally dispersed.

"Brother, you don't look like you today. In front of them, not only did you feel embarrassed and ridiculous with your praise, but there was also speculation. How could the three of them move to Xiangyang again?"

Zhuge Liang looked at the three old men shaking away and said with a hint of ridicule.

"Maybe not before, but after today, they have no choice but to come to Xiangyang!"

A mysterious smile appeared on Zhuge Wende's face.

Ma Liang asked confusedly: If they really come, how should we deal with them?
Zhuge Liang reacted very quickly and already understood what his brother meant. He smiled mysteriously and said, "You must take care of and support me! Take great care and support!"

Zhuge Ming laughed loudly and patted Zhuge Liang on the shoulder: "A boy can be taught!"

The two looked at each other, looking through the clouds towards Wancheng.

Cao Cao retreats to Wancheng, sooner or later he will be killed!
Jingzhou's horses, iron tools, grain and rice and other economies are all in the hands of the clans!
The battle in Jingzhou cannot be separated from the support of the Jingzhou clan!
As long as they keep their people in Xiangyang, they control Jingxiang's economic lifeline!
"support……"

Ma Liang said reluctantly.

Although he already understood the meaning of the two Zhuge gods, he was still confused as to how to carry out the plan.
