Soldiers come to the world

() Three days later, Pang Tong arrived in Zigui City with his book boy and two servants. Liu Jing had ordered him to be released. The prisoner of war was detained, but he was released and allowed to return to his hometown. This favor made Pang Tong feel uneasy.

Fortunately, he broke away from Liu Bei in a decent way, and he didn't have to go to Jiaozhou with him. From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to go to the wild places in the south.

When they entered Zigui City, it was already noon, and Zigui City had returned to its former calm. For Zigui, food was the best stabilizer. Once the food was in hand, the people would be grateful, and naturally there would be no more disturbances.

However, many shops opened, but none of the dozen or so taverns and hotels opened their doors. It will take time for them to recover, but it is not a good thing for Pang Tong and others who are hungry. They hope to come to Zigui County to have a good meal Suddenly, none of them are open.

At the corner of the street, Pang Tong craned his neck to wait for news from his servant. One of his servants was negotiating in the tavern opposite. Not long after, the servant came back angrily and said, "My lord, they said that the main reason is that there are no ingredients. All the stocks in the store were taken away by Liu Bei's army. It’s too late to prepare, I’m afraid it won’t open until ten days later.”

Pang Tong was extremely disappointed. He knew that he should have taken the bag of rice from Liu Zheng before he left. He wanted to be noble at the time, but now he was hungry.

At this moment, a yamen servant stepped forward quickly, cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Excuse me, Mr. Pang?"

"I'm Pang Shiyuan."

Pang Tong was a little strange, how could a yamen servant know himself? He had suffered setbacks many times, and his temper had changed a lot in the past. Although the other party was just a yamen servant, this was his territory. More importantly, he was hungry and had nothing to do. At that time, Pang Tong was also very polite, and asked with a smile: "What's the matter?"

"My county magistrate is here, sir, please come with me."

Pang Tong hesitated for a moment, then led his entourage and followed the yamen servants to the county yamen. The back house and warehouse of the county yamen had been burned down, but the main body in front was still intact, and many people were spontaneously cleaning up the burned ruins.

Pang Tong walked into the county government office, and a scribe of about 30 years old walked up to him. He cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Mr. Pang has worked hard."

"This is our county magistrate." The yamen servant next to him introduced with a smile.

Pang Tong had never seen this person before, so he asked with a smile, "May I ask the county magistrate's name?"

"I'm under Sima Yi!"

Pang Tongtong was stunned. Isn't Sima Yi Liu Jing's military advisor?How did you become the county magistrate of Zigui County? What's going on?

Sima Yi smiled slightly and said, "The county magistrate and county magistrate of Zigui County are still in Nanjun. Before they come here, I will take care of them for a few days to get over the county master's addiction."

Only then did Pang Tong understand, and he hurriedly saluted again: "So it's Sima's military advisor, Pang Tong is disrespectful."

Sima Yi chuckled and said, "Mr. Pang, go eat first, let's have a chat after dinner, I've admired the name of Fengchu for a long time."

Pang Tong blushed, and went all the way into the city to inquire about taverns. He probably knew about Sima Yi. Although he was a little embarrassed, but he was so hungry that he couldn't care less about his face, so he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Commander Sima."

Sima Yi ordered the yamen servant to take them to the back for dinner. He looked at Pang Tong's back with his hands behind his back. Although it was the first time they met, he already felt Pang Tong's downcast aura, and he couldn't help laughing meaningfully.

After lunch, Pang Tong's spirit improved a lot. He was sitting in the meeting hall, drinking a cup of hot tea slowly. At this moment, Sima Yi walked in quickly and said apologetically, "There are too many things to do, and I have neglected Mr. Pang."

"Where! Thank you, Military Division Sima, for your hospitality."

Sima Yi also sat down, and said with a smile, "Mr. Pang, I don't know where he is going? If you want to go to Gong'an County, we can provide a boat for you to go there by boat."

Pang Tong shook his head, "I have nothing to do with Jingnan anymore, I plan to go back to my hometown, Xiangyang Longzhong."

"Oh! So that's the case. Does Mr. Pang have any plans in the future?" Sima Yi asked tentatively.

"I wanted to go back to my hometown to farm, but I guess I'm not in good health, so I plan to take in a few students and teach as a career."

Sima Yi nodded, "Mr. Pang is a great talent. It's a pity to accept a few students. A few days ago, Uncle Ling hoped that Jingzhou Academy would add a vice-principal. Let's see if Mr. Pang is willing to give in?"

Pang Tong was stunned, originally he wanted him to go to Jingzhou Academy, but Pang Tong thought that Sima Yi wanted to persuade him to surrender, so that he would be suspected of betraying the lord, but if he went to Jingzhou Academy, that would be another matter, Jingzhou Academy It was originally merged with Pang's Lumen Academy, so it was only natural for him to go to the academy to assist his uncle.

But although he was very willing in his heart, he couldn't speak too directly. He pondered for a while, "Let me discuss it with my uncle and listen to his opinion, how about it?"

Sima Yi was secretly delighted, this is his agreement, he said with a smile: "No problem, I will send someone to send Mr. Pang back to Xiangyang, so the journey will not be so hard."

This time, Pang Tong didn't refuse again, he stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Then thank you Sima for his arrangement."

After thinking for a while, Pang Tong asked the book boy to take out a letter from the book box. This was originally his plan for Bashu to Liu Bei, but now he didn't want to give it to Liu Bei, so he handed it to Sima Yi and said, "This is my plan for taking Bashu." Some ideas, I hope they can be useful to Army Division Sima."

. . . . . . . . .

After sending Pang Tong away, Sima Yi rushed to the camp outside the city again. As soon as he reached the tent of the Chinese army, a soldier smiled and said, "The state shepherd said that the military division should be directly charged, and there is no need to report it."

"You lazy bastards, can't you just shout? What if the state pastor has any inconvenience?" Sima Yi criticized several soldiers with a smile.

Several soldiers stuck out their tongues, and hurriedly reported loudly: "Report to Zhou Mu, Sima's army division is here!"

"Please come in!" Liu Jing's voice came from inside the big tent.

Sima Yi ordered a few soldiers with his hands, and then walked quickly into the big tent, inside the big tent, Liu Jing was eating alone, flipping through a book, when he saw Sima Yi coming in, he smiled and said: "The military commander didn't have lunch! Let's dine together."

"Thank you Zhou Mu, I have already had lunch at the county government office, Zhou Mu please use it for yourself."

Liu Jing nodded, ate the naan in his hand, drank another bowl of soup, and ordered the soldiers: "Clean up!"

A few soldiers came in to clean up the dining table, and served them two cups of hot tea. Then Liu Jing asked with a smile, "How is it? Have you seen Pang Tong?"

"I see, I feel that he is a bit down!"

Sima Yi smiled and said: "They have been out of food for a day, and they went to the city to find a tavern, but none of them opened."

Liu Jing couldn't help laughing, "Why are you in such a mess? Could it be that Liu Zheng didn't give them food?"

"It must have been given. I guess he is more noble and unwilling to accept it. In addition, Pang Tong has already agreed to be the vice president of Jingzhou Academy, but his expression is more tactful, and he needs to discuss it with his uncle."

"This is the best way, let him be loyal to me slowly, and he will be reused in the future."

At this time, Sima Yi took out Pang Tong's letter from his bosom, handed it to Liu Jing and said with a smile, "This is the strategy he wrote for taking Shu. He said it was for my reference, but in fact he asked me to pass it on to Zhou Mu. From this we can see Come out, his desire to become an official has not cooled down!"

Liu Jing was quite interested in Pang Tong's plan to take Shu. He took the letter and opened it quickly to read it. He said with a faint smile, "He suggested using Liu Zhang's suspicion of Pang Xi and the conflict between Dongzhou scholars and Bashu natives. The strategy of killing three scholars with two peaches, provoking them to kill each other, and then profiting from it should be Pang Tong's suggestion to Liu Bei, but there are merits."

Sima Yi said in a low voice: "The so-called two peaches, one peach is Wucheng, the other peach is Zigui, and the three scholars, one is Pang Xi, the second is Yan Yan, and the third is Liu Zhang. This plan is feasible."

Liu Jing nodded, "It should be said that one peach is Jianping County, one peach is Shangyong County, one scholar is Liu Zhang, one scholar is Zhang Lu, and the third is Liu Bei."

The two looked at each other and laughed together.

After Liu Bei captured Zigui County, Pang Xi, the prefect of Badong County, also became nervous. He realized that Liu Bei was preparing to attack Badong County, and immediately asked Chengdu for help. An army of [-] rushed to Padang County for reinforcements.

But Pang Xi didn't want Yan Yan to come to help. He and Yan Yan had always had a bad relationship. It was when Pang Xi and Yan Yan fought in Zhao Wei's rebellion, Pang Xi was defeated and Yan Yan killed many of his followers, and the two formed an enmity at that time.

When confronting Liu Bei's army, the two led [-] troops each, about [-] miles away from Wucheng, but the two barracks were separated by ten miles, and they did not communicate with each other.

Yan Yan is about 60 years old this year, with half a hundred hair and a height of [-] feet [-]. He wields a Wuding machete that weighs [-] catties. , and Nandao is Berkshire Yan Yan.

Yan Yan was strict and unsmiling. The Yan family he belonged to was also the number one gentry in Berkshire, and he himself served as the prefect of Berkshire, which made Yan Yan the leader of the gentry in Nanyi Prefecture.

In the big tent, Yan Yan was discussing countermeasures with his aide, Peng Yi. Peng Yi was from Guanghan. He was originally Zhang Song's secretary. Hide in Yan Yan's mansion and become his staff.

Just this morning, Yan Yan received a secret letter from Liu Zhang, ordering him to take over Jianping County and seize Pang Xi's military power at the same time. This made Yan Yan very embarrassed. If he was in Berkshire, he could do it.

But this is in Badong County, which is Pang Xi's territory. Pang Xi has been an official in Badong County for many years, and his roots are already deep. How could he seize Pang Xi's military power?Liu Zhang took it for granted.

Peng Yi is also eight feet tall, with a great appearance, but his head was shaved, so he had to wear a soft hat. He whispered: "Liu Zhang has always been suspicious of Pang Xi, but he hasn't said he wants to touch him for so many years, but now he wants to take him away." His military power must have been instigated by Zhang Ren and Wu Yi."
