The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 344
"The big man is the world of the people of the big man, so why is it the world of his Liu family? In the past, the ancestors raised troops to resist the tyranny of Qin, which was the general trend. However, Qin was orthodox at that time and could not protect the people. It should be so. It’s easy, but the principles are self-connected. If the Liu family can’t protect our Han people, they naturally don’t deserve to be orthodox.”

Wei Tao smiled slightly, Wei Tao's words were very plain, but what he said was like a thunderbolt, which made both Mr. Pang De and Sima Hui stand up in shock.

"Am I doing this for my own selfishness? I don't say anything. I just ask, if Liu Bei is allowed to rule the world, why should he protect me from being invaded by foreign enemies?"

Wei Tao asked such a question again, which finally left Mr. Pang De and Sima Hui speechless.

There is nothing wrong with Wei Tao's words. After all, Wei Tao's words are almost blunt, and they are almost unambiguous: the princes and generals have something to say.

When it comes to benevolence and righteousness, Liu Bei's reputation for benevolence and righteousness is indeed spread all over the world, but in terms of military achievements, although repeated defeats and repeated battles show Liu Bei's perseverance, it cannot conceal his military weakness.

If Liu Bei is allowed to defend against foreign enemies, not many people dare to say that Liu Bei can do what Wei Tao did. For several years, foreign enemies dare not commit crimes, but those who commit crimes must be greatly damaged, and even tribal peoples are gradually annexed.

The story of Xiqiang and Wuhuan is right in front of you!
"Nonsense! Rebel and traitor!"

Sima Hui directly attacked the case, but in fact, he really wanted to justify. Sima Hui still had a lot to argue with Wei Tao, but facing Wei Tao's straightforwardness, Sima Hui just wanted to scold him and let him Knowing that the majesty of the Han Dynasty should not be offended!
"It's just some blunt words, and it shouldn't be so."

Wei Tao smiled indifferently, and then ignored Sima Hui, but looked at Mr. Pang De.

"Pang De's morality is highly respected, his character is extraordinary, and he is as knowledgeable as an extraordinary person. Today, the world is divided into four parts, and the situation is the clearest. Although I am boasting, I have to say that I am the most likely to rule the world. I have heard of Pang's name for a long time, so I came here to ask for advice. Could it be that Mr. Pang De is unwilling to give some pointers?"

Hearing Wei Tao's glance, Mr. Pound took a slight breath. He knew that he had to make a choice. After a slight silence, he immediately spoke.

"It is an honor for the two of you to come to look for me, but one is a hero in the world and the other is my old friend, both of which are hard for me to refuse! If this is the case, then I will just say it."

Hearing this, Wei Tao understood that Sima Hui was here to recruit talents for Liu Bei. Obviously, Sima Hui's support for orthodoxy is indeed endless.

However, Mr. Pound didn't care about these things, he just talked to himself like no one else was there.

"The old man is old, even if he has some knowledge, it is impossible to assist democracy. Since the two of you are here, the one you are looking for is my grandson. But you also know that all capable people have arrogance. My grandson My son's temperament is even more unruly and different from ordinary people, if you can convince him, he will naturally be willing to accompany him, otherwise, so what if he is alone?"

Before Wei Tao arrived, he knew the Pang family well. He knew that Pang Tong was well-known in Jingzhou, but he was not as good as Zhuge Liang. head.

On the contrary, there was a wry smile on Sima Hui's face. Pang Tong was also a student of Sima Hui. If Sima Hui could persuade Pang Tong, then he would have persuaded him to join Liu Bei.

Now Mr. Pang De directly put the matter on the bright side, which naturally made him feel embarrassed.

But fortunately, Sima Hui was a celebrity himself, with an extraordinary bearing, and he didn't show any strangeness, he just looked at it with a smile.

Sima Hui was also aware of Pang Tong's temperament. In Sima Hui's view, even if Wei Tao came in person, Pang Tong's arrogance would not give him a good look.

In fact, it was the same. Mr. Pang De ordered someone to invite Pang Tong. Pang Tong did not dare to respond, but he stepped in without squinting with a haughty face, as if he didn't pay attention to people at all.

Those who know know that this is his temperament, but those who don't know think he despises himself.

What is even more speechless is that Pang Tong's appearance is very ugly, and it makes people feel uneasy when they see it. In addition to this behavior, if you say something bad, if you don't directly drive him out of the house, then it is considered a crime. Give him face.

"Shiyuan, now there is Shui Jing who is holding a letter from Liu Xuande to invite you, and another general is here to invite you. You are a talented person from my family, and now it's time for you to become an official. Since there are two families who have come, you should be honorable." Choose one and follow it. If you have other ideas, it’s fine, but Fang is not out of these princes today, compared to Cao Cao and Sun Quan, I’m afraid the general and Duke Xuande are more sincere.”

At this time, Lord Pound also said that he was neutral, but in fact, Lord Pang still had a somewhat biased preference for Liu Bei. After all, Sima Hui had a good relationship with him and recommended Liu Bei many times, so Lord Pound naturally had a better impression of him.

"promise!"

But Pang Tong just responded casually, without even raising his eyelids, as if Liu Bei and Wei Tao didn't catch his eye.

I have to say that Pang Tong's behavior is very annoying, even if Wei Tao knew it from his previous life, he couldn't help but feel a little impatient at this time.

If it weren't for Wei Tao knowing that it was because of his ugly appearance that he had arrogance born of inferiority complex, or because of his nature, maybe Wei Tao would have left in a huff.

"Hehe... Shi Yuan! Kong Ming is already serving under the command of Duke Xuande, and he is trusted by Duke Xuande. I know you are not as talented as Kong Ming. Why don't you go and show your skills? Do you really want to waste this talent in the mountains? ?”

Seeing Wei Tao being speechless for a while, Sima Hui smiled lightly and said, but he knew Pang Tong's temperament, so he only spoke to the point.

"You know Kong Ming's vision, Mr. Xuande is indeed a hero today, and he will never humiliate you."

"I know."

Master of heaven and earth, Sima Hui is both Pang Tong's teacher and an elder, even after hearing Sima Hui talk about Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong's eyes flashed, and then he spoke calmly.

"I really admire Kong Ming's vision, and I should think about it."

The people present were all human beings, and it was perfunctory if they couldn't hear Pang Tong's words. They said that they didn't say anything, and even everyone could hear a little bit of dissatisfaction. Pang Tong was more inclined to compare with Zhuge Liang.

"Hehe... I've heard the name of Pang Shiyuan before, and now I'm here to invite you with sincerity."

At this moment, Wei Tao smiled and said slowly, attracting everyone's attention.

"I haven't seen Shi Yuan's talent personally, so I don't judge it, but I dare say that if Shi Yuan wants to search the world, I'm afraid no one will keep it except me and Cao Mengde."

As soon as this remark came out, Pang Tong's face changed slightly, and Sima Hui's face was even more angry.

Ever since he met Wei Tao, Sima Hui has no usual demeanor of a celebrity, so he has nothing to worry about at this time, let's just talk about it.

"Mr. Xuande is thirsty for talent. If he knows that the scholar is here, he will come in person. Why not use it?"

"Hehe...Mr. Shui Jing also doesn't know? In fact, even if it is me, it is difficult to add a high position suddenly. If Shi Yuan is willing to vote, he can only treat each other as a member of the army."

Wei Tao smiled slightly, and answered directly.

"My counselors and generals are loyal and virtuous, and I don't know how many of them are. If Shiyuan has no merit, how can he gain a foothold under the army? Zhuge Kongming's outstanding achievements are the only way to win Liu Bei's trust. Even if Shiyuan is no less wise than Kongming, but Is there a better time to call now?"

As soon as these words came out, Pang Tong became even more silent.

It's not that Pang Tong's resourcefulness is not high, but that indeed any conspiracy must have a chance. Now that the time has passed, it is impossible for Pang Tong to suddenly get a high position even if he seeks refuge with Liu Bei.

"However, with Kong Ming's recommendation, how could Shi Yuan not be so evil as Liu Shijun?"

Sima Hui said it rather unwillingly, but it was okay if he didn't say it, and Pang Tong's face was even more ugly when he said it.

The more talented a person is, the more arrogant he is, how can he rely on others?

Sima Hui was not a mortal either, and when he saw Pang Tong's face, he knew that he had said something wrong, but at this time the words had already been spoken, let alone changed.

"Ha ha……"

Facing Sima Hui like this, Wei Tao just smiled slightly, and then said more.

"What's more, even though they have made great achievements, Liu Bei and Sun Quan generally have a shortcoming. This shortcoming is destined not to tolerate Shiyuan. Before Kong Ming's matter was still hopeful for Jingzhou. Now Jingzhou has little hope, but it cannot tolerate Shiyuan."

"Oh, I would like to hear about it."

When Pang Tong heard Wei Tao's words, he still asked Wei Tao, his tone became much calmer.

Pang Tong is arrogant, not stupid, and respectful to those with real talents.

"I heard that both Jiangdong and Yizhou are outstanding people. I don't know how many talented people there are. Among them, they are all from aristocratic families. If the scholars go there, they represent the Pang family and want to live in Yizhou or Jiangdong? There are major families blocking How can it be easy for Shiyuan to be reused?"

As soon as Wei Tao said this, Pang Tong's face changed again, but he was speechless for a while.

In history, when Pang Tong invested in Jiangdong, Sun Quan refused to use it because of his appearance.

But Sun Quan was also the overlord of three parts of the world at any rate in history. How could he judge people by their appearance so easily? This is inconsistent with Sun Quan's wisdom.

This is just an excuse, Jiangdong really cannot tolerate external forces.

And Liu Bei occupied Jingzhou in history, and the Pang family still had power, but now they occupy Yizhou, and they also have this difficulty, and it is difficult to accept outsiders to agree.

"Then what about Cao Mengde? If you vote for Cao Mengde, will you be able to use him again?"

After being silent for a while, Pang Tong asked again. Although it was not so obvious, everyone present could hear Pang Tong's wavering from his words.

Pang Tong has already approved Wei Tao's words.
