Summoning of God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 376 Pang Tong, Pang Shiyuan!
In the spring of the second year, after a winter of garrisoning troops, Zhang Yun continued to consume Zhang Fei's food and grass with the harassing tactics.

Before the new year, Guan Yu was dispatched to Lingling to guard against Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu, and got a confidant general Wei Yan.

Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen regained the leader of the Wuxi Man, Sha Moke, and the five thousand Wuxi Man elites were brought under their command.

Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu went north all the way to attack Zhang He. Zhang He lost more than [-] troops and retreated to Wancheng, forming a confrontation with Tai Shici.

Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu accepted it when they saw a good deal, and went south from Shangyong New Town to Hanzhong to win over Ma Chao.

The results of the surprise soldiers repelling Zhang Yun spread to Chengdu, and all the officials began to praise Cao Pi's subordinates for their great abilities.

Now Cao Pi's prestige in the court has surpassed Cao Ang, and even Cao Cao began to feel constrained.

Han Wu did not hold Zhang He accountable, but let him recuperate and rewarded him with a lot of money and food.

The weather is still very cold in spring, plum blossoms are still standing proudly, and most of the winter's snow has melted.

Normally, it is time to plant in spring at this time, so that rice can be harvested twice a year.Now the common people live and work in peace and contentment. After having sweet potatoes and corn, they only come out to clear the snow, and the spring planting has not yet started.

In the State Shepherd's Mansion, Han Wu was more excited, because Zhang Xi brought back a great talent for himself!
Feng Chu Pang Tong, this is an extremely outstanding talent.

Han Wu also secretly tested Pang Tong's six-dimensional data before, with force 38, intelligence 99, military command 90, politics 95, charisma 3, and loyalty 70.

Intellectual command of the army and politics are both excellent, and the loyalty value is lower because he has not yet recognized the master.

The charm value is only 3 points, which is lower than that of ordinary people. The main reason is that Pang Tong is too ugly.

Now that Pang Tong walked into the main hall of the State Shepherd's Mansion, he wanted to raise his head, not at all ashamed of his appearance.

When Han Fu saw Pang Tong's appearance, he couldn't help frowning, showing displeasure.

Xun You and Guo Jia were also a little surprised, they didn't expect such ugly people to exist in the world.

Neither Cui Yan nor Zeng Guofan showed any expression. They had known Pang Tong before and admired his talent.

Han Wu coughed lightly, and said: "Pang Tong, Pang Shiyuan, are known as Fengchu. But I think you are not as good as Wolong, but you also have the talent of Wang Zuozhi! So, are you convinced?"

Han Wu's words were very vicious, and Pang Tong had no weakness to argue at all.

It would be too arrogant to say that Zhuge Liang is not as good as yourself if you compare yourself with your own family.If you bluntly say that you are not as good as Zhuge Liang, it would be too embarrassing.

Zeng Guofan saw that Pang Tong was a little deflated, and he quickly seconded: "My lord, Shiyuan is different from Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang is only good at intrigue and trickery when leading troops, but his strength is internal affairs. If he leads troops, Zhuge Liang will even be under Xu Shu. Shiyuan Yuan's strategy is beneficial to the battlefield, and it is also different from Guo Junshi's strategizing."

"If you compare the five northern states to people, the lord is the leader, and Guo Junshi is the arm! The soldier is the palm, and the brave warrior is the sword blade. Just like the arm and the finger, use the long sword to make the whole army invincible! "

Hearing Zeng Guofan's explanation, Han Fu smiled with satisfaction. He likes talents like Zeng Guofan very much.

Han Wu also smiled lightly, quite satisfied.

Moreover, Zeng Guofan's analysis of Pang Tong is relatively correct. Although he is talented, he still lacks a bit of rigor and calmness compared to Zhuge Liang.

Pang Tong didn't say a word, just looked at Han Wu quietly.

Cui Yan saw that the lord did not express his opinion, so he was going to recommend Pang Tong.

Han Wu waved to Cui Yan, telling him not to say more, he already made up his mind.

"Pang Shiyuan, comparing you to Zhuge Liang, you must be convinced. However, your talent is no less than that of the gentlemen present, but you have no credit! Without merit, you cannot be a high-ranking official. What's more, I don't think you want to be judged by the government. If you are bothered, would you rather lead the army to attack for thousands of years?"

After hearing Han Wu's words, Pang Tong smiled slightly, and his loyalty value was much higher.

Pang Tong nodded, and said: "Mr. Han's words are true, but I would like to follow Mao's example and recommend myself. I wonder if Mr. Han would like to put this awl in my pocket."

Han Wu was very satisfied with Pang Tong's attitude, and said: "Okay! If this is the case, I will register you as the marching commander first, and you will be rewarded again for your meritorious service in the future. Since Zhang Yun recommended you, you can call him as your military advisor! Autumn Harvest I was going to attack Jingzhou before, you can understand what I mean."

He waved his hand and asked Pang Tong to step back.

The position of the marching Sima is neither high nor low, but his salary in Jizhou is quite a lot.

Pang Tong could see Han Wu's sincerity, and he could also understand Han Wu's difficulties. After all, he had no credit, so he might not be able to convince the public if he directly gave him a high position.

"Thank you, Young Master!" Pang Tong clasped his fists in salute, and immediately withdrew from the State Shepherd's Mansion.

Han Fu frowned, he thought his son should not give such an ugly person such a high position, not to mention that marching Sima was enough to influence Zhang Xi's trilogy.

But seeing his son so determined, Han Fu didn't say anything, just acquiesced.

Outside the State Shepherd's Mansion, Zhang He waited for Pang Tong and saw him coming out solemnly.

"Pang Tong, what's the situation? Did my lord give you a senior official? With your talent, you should be able to command thousands of people, right?" Zhang Yun asked bluntly.

Only then did Pang Tong smile, and said: "My lord asked me to be the general's marching commander, and I will be rewarded for my merits. Before the autumn harvest, my lord will send troops to Jingzhou. The meaning is very clear."

"General Zhang, starting from next month, you will be a little tired and lead troops to test the strength of Jingzhou. What we are going to face is the Cao Liu coalition army, are you afraid?"

After hearing Pang Tong's words, Zhang He laughed loudly: "Hahaha! Fear? What fear do people marching and fighting have? What about Liu Bei and Cao Cao? With the help of Shi Yuan, I, Zhang He, have no worries!"

"But my lord wants to send troops to Jingzhou, which is troublesome. The combined army of Sun, Cao and Liu can't be done by us alone!"

Pang Tong did not answer Zhang He's doubts. He also knew that Zhang He and Tai Shici's troops alone would not be enough to defeat Jingzhou.Even with the addition of the white-robed army, Jingzhou may be conquered, but it may not be able to hold it.

Therefore, the lord wants them to deal with Jingzhou, the purpose is still one - to consume!
Jingzhou can't afford to be exhausted, and its internal affairs are not as good as those of the north, so it will inevitably drag Cao Cao back.

Sun Quan had Lu Bu to frighten the north, so he didn't dare to go out to help Liu Bei, so he would naturally be consumed by Lu Bu.

The reason why Lu Bu was able to persist in Yangzhou and even the Central Plains for so long was because Han Wu controlled his lifeline and provided him with an endless supply of food, grass and war horses!

"Ten years of layout, development of people's livelihood, Mr. Han is really far-sighted. Maybe in thirty... no, within ten years, we will see the unification of the world!" Narrowing his eyes, Pang Tong smiled.

After seeing Pang Tong's smile, Zhang Yun couldn't help swallowing, feeling a little shuddering.
