Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 564 I'm Not Greedy

After chatting with Pang Tong for a while, Xu You and Pang Tong got up and said to Pang Tong, "Brother Shi Yuan is really a great talent. If the King of Liao had Brother Shi Yuan to help him, he would have taken Jizhou long ago!"

Pang Tong smiled modestly, and then said: "Brother Ziyuan praised you, the king of Liao is a rare talent in the world, his bravery is comparable to that of the overlord of Western Chu, and his military skills are comparable to Han Xin. My going to Liaozhou is just icing on the cake!"

Zhang He, who was originally displeased because of Pang Tong, saw that Pang Tong praised his lord so much, and he had a much better impression of Pang Tong, so he also said to Pang Tong: "Mr. Pang, you don't have to be so humble. Let’s talk, but listening to what you said, I’m afraid our Liaozhou Guo Jia military division can’t compare to you.”

As soon as Xu You heard that Zhang He compared Pang De with Guo Jia, he thought of Wolong who was as famous as Pang Tong, so he asked, "Excuse me for being rude, but I don't know who is better than Mr. Zhuge Liang, Mr. Wolong who is as famous as you?" One deal?"

Hearing what Xu You said, Pang Tong bowed his head and remained silent at first, because although most people said that he was not as good as Zhuge Liang, although Pang Tong was not a conceited person, he did not admit defeat, but Xu You asked himself that he should not be too arrogant, so he replied He said: "It's hard to say. Before I left the mountain, Zhuge Liang and I discussed the affairs of the world together and discussed how to use troops. We always have our own winners and losers, but Kong Ming should be slightly better than me!"

"Oh I got it!"

Xu You nodded, and then asked: "That means that Mr. and Mr. Wolong have their own merits, right?"

"That's right, I'm good at winning by schemes, while Zhuge Liang is meticulous and always likes to set people up, making them hard to guard against!"

Pang Tong nodded, affirming Xu You's words.

"So that's the case. I don't know where Mr. Wolong is now. I want to invite all the Wolong and phoenix chicks to Liaozhou for my prince!"

Xu You paused for a moment, then continued: "I've heard people say that Wolong and Fengchu can conquer the world if they get one of them. If my lord gets the help of the two of you, then within three to five years, he will be able to win the world." Sweeping Liuhe and unifying the world!"

After Xu You finished speaking, Pang Tong shook his head with a smile, and replied: "This is just a rumor. Kong Ming and I are not gods. If we want to rule the world and take advantage of the right time, place and people, how can we say that?" One person can win the world, and brother Ziyuan, you are one step late, Zhuge Kongming has already been invited away, and he has already left the mountain!"

"what?"

Xu You asked in surprise, "Who invited Zhuge Liang away?"

Xu You has always been in the north. Communications were not well developed in those days. Coupled with the turmoil and chaos these years, what happened in the north and the south would take months at the earliest to be conveyed by the caravan.

"Jingzhou Liu Bei!"

Pang Tong took a sip of his wine and continued: "At first, I thought Kong Ming and I were on par, but as soon as Kong Ming came under Liu Bei's command, he helped Liu Bei completely control Jingzhou. I heard a few days ago that Liu Bei rebelled against Huang Zu. The generals Su Fei and Gan Ning under his command led the army to open the city gate of Jiangxia and let Liu Bei's army enter Jiangxia. Now that Jiangxia's Huangzu was beheaded, Liu Bei has completely captured Jingzhou. Not small!"

This is when you have a bosom friend with a thousand glasses of wine, and you don't talk speculatively, you can't talk enough. Pang Tong and Xu You can't talk enough.

"So that's it! I'm a bit greedy!"

Xu You nodded again, thinking: "It's still easy to have acquaintances. If I hadn't invited Pang Tong to come over for dinner, I wouldn't know anything about Jiangnan affairs!"

At this time, Pang Tong was a little drunk, and continued to say: "Even if Kong Ming didn't go to Liu Bei, he wouldn't go to King Liao either!"

Xu You hurriedly took Pang Tong's hand, and asked, "Why is this? Is our Liao King's reputation so bad here?"

Pang Tong waved his hands again and again: "No, no, no, it's not that the King of Liao has a bad reputation, but because of Zhuge Kongming's temperament. His defection to Liu Bei is a timely help, and his defection to other powerful princes is just icing on the cake. However, in fact, he is narrow-minded, Liao Wang already has Ju Shou, Guo Jia, Xu Shu and others under his command, how can he monopolize the power!"

At this time, Pang Tong dared to say anything because of the strength of wine, and it was impossible for him not to be jealous of Zhuge Liang. So hit a wall everywhere.

Moreover, Pang Tong did not slander Zhuge Liang. It can be seen from history that he occupied the power of Shu Han for decades after Liu Bei's death. Sentenced to the death penalty, you must know that if Zhuge Liang hadn't been for his militarism, the Shu Han would not have perished so quickly.

Seeing that Pang Tong had said everything, Xu You took Pang Tong's hand and said, "Brother Shi Yuan, you are drunk, let me help you go back to your room and rest!"

After speaking, he and Zhang He supported Pang Tong on the left and right, and sent him back to the room.

After sending Pang Tong back, Xu You and Zhang He also returned to the post house.

Xu You took a sip of tea, then said with a smile: "It was a worthwhile trip for you and me to find such a great talent for our lord! In addition to his unique appearance (in ancient times, ugliness was not called ugliness, but his appearance was different), can the prince like him?"

Zhang He chuckled, and said, "Don't worry about that, my lord employs people, regardless of their quality or appearance, as long as they are not vicious or bad, the lord will accept them. Jar, when there is no one else, if you drink too much, you dare to hang shoulders with the prince, doesn't the prince still entrust him with important tasks, our prince is a man of temperament!"

"Well! Let's not talk about it, we have to go out of the city to find Sun Bofu tomorrow, let's get some rest early!"

Xu You said to Zhang He.

"That's good!"... Having nothing to say that night, Zhang He and Xu You got up early the next morning, washed up, and after breakfast, the two left the east gate of Wu County, bringing more than a dozen tiger guards with them. , and walked towards the dense forest in the east of the city.

"Drive! Drive! Drive!"

After arriving in the dense forest, Zhang He frowned. The forest in the south is different from the forest in the north. The forest in the north is full of towering trees, while the forest in the south has towering trees, but more bushes. Moreover, the four seasons in the south are warm, and the shrubs grow densely, making it extremely difficult to walk.

"Junyi, Junyi! Why are you running into the bushes, come out!"

Seeing Zhang He walking into the bushes, Xu You hurriedly shouted.
