King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 706 Talking about the world (4)

Hearing Pang Tong's words, the corner of Li Lin's mouth twitched, thinking of Sun Quan as far as he knew, Li Lin said slowly: "Sichong, you still underestimate this Sun Quan, although this Sun Quan is not old enough to shoulder important responsibilities, but this Sun Quan is not a simple person. He followed Sun Jian to fight everywhere since he was a child. He dared to enter Liu Biao’s camp to return Sun Jian’s body when he was six years old. Now that Sun Quan is 15 years old, although he returned home in a big defeat outside Hefei, he was able to take the initiative to admit his mistake to Zhou Yu, which shows that he knows how to advance and retreat, and knows who he has to rely on!"

Hearing Li Lin's words, Pang Tong was a little surprised, and frowned, "I didn't expect Liao Hou to appreciate Sun Quan so much!"

Li Lin shook his head, and said: "Admiration is admiration, but this sentence is indeed correct. This Sun Quan is really a person who can't keep his promise. What kind of alliance I have with him is all nonsense. This window paper is like paper, if it is broken, it will be broken, but this Sun Quan, hehe...don't be poked and messed with this window paper!" Li Lin narrowed his eyes, and then he said something very sinister, showing a trace of Si's murderous aura inspired that Pang Tong. Maybe that moment just now was Li Lin's real face. After more than ten years of military career, people who have long been numb to killing, no matter what era you are , it is difficult to conceal the murderous aura emanating from himself. At home, Li Lin is with his family, and he is very afraid that he will affect the mood of his family because of this, especially a few children, even Su Suna is still hugging her own child , I always cry when I see myself, don't underestimate such children, they are very sensitive to these things, so Li Lin is very deliberately covering up his abusive aura.

Li Lin quickly came out of his own thoughts. Seeing the silent Pang Tong, he pursed his lips and smiled. He wanted to pick up the tea and drink it. He touched the teacup and said, "Come here, change the tea!"

The work of two cups of tea has passed, the sun is about to set, and the afterglow of the setting sun has already shot in, but this Li Lin chatted more energetically with this so-called Long Guangyue, and he was able to meet someone who could chat well. Yes, Li Lin also thinks it's not easy, the servants have exchanged for a new pot of tea, and Zhen Ji, who is admiring the flowers in the backyard, has already waved in the room and picked up the scroll, but her heart is full of romance with her husband today. Li Ping finally completed the task given by Bing Yuan and planned to go and play with Xia Houba and Li Hu in the camp. Liu Ying had already sent someone to prepare meals, and Huan'er and Susu were Playing with the kids together......

"By the way!" Li Lin took a sip of tea. In fact, for such a long time, most of the two were talking and did not drink any tea. Li Lin asked with a smile: "Sichong has been talking about other princes in the world for so long. Disadvantages, why don’t you have me alone, let’s talk about it quickly, I’m here to listen!”

Pang Tongtong listened, smiled faintly, bowed and said: "Then I hope Marquis Liao will forgive me!"

Li Lin raised his hand and said: "But it's okay to say, if someone wants to kill you, every word you said just now is enough for me to kill you!"

"Yes!" Pang Tong also felt very happy to be able to have a good chat with Li Lin today. He originally planned to defect to Li Lin, and came to test whether Li Lin was worthy of his intelligence. Under the temptation, Juran still thinks that Liaohou is really interesting, but he is very angry with himself.

Pang Tong said quietly: "This... Marquis of Liao! You are now powerful in the world, sitting firmly in half of the Central Plains, ruling the north, with a vast territory, and elite soldiers and horses, you are the most among all the princes in the world..."

Li Lin quickly waved his hand and said: "It's all right, let's get to the point directly, don't need to talk about this!"

Pang Tong smiled slightly and said: "Liaohou! Although you have a large territory, you are in the middle of the world's princes. Although your soldiers and horses are elite, no matter how elite you are, you may not be able to compete with the soldiers and horses in this world. , It's not what Liaohou thought in his heart. Here, Liu He is now sitting firmly in the Central Plains. Where is the Central Plains? , don’t you forget the identity of the Marquis of Liao! The Marquis of Liao is now, in name, still under Zhao Wang Liu Hezhi’s command!”

Li Lin looked at Pang Tong's eyes, nodded, and said, "Exactly! What Si Chong said is right!"

Pang Tong said slowly: "Because of this, whether it's rumors or facts, it must be that Liaohou and Liu He are no longer as simple as face-to-heart disagreements. In the past, Liu He's strength was not in a hurry with Liaohou. He tolerated the Marquis of Liao everywhere, and even dared to hand over the military power in his hands to the Marquis of Liao. This would not only allow Liu He to survive, but also make Liu He stronger. It took a huge advantage. After years of accumulation, and Liu He must have the help of experts around him, it is not accidental that Liu He has taken down all parts of the Northwest of Dahan within three or four months! Look at Liu He, already sitting on several large states, all of which are places with strong folk customs. Although there are huge internal and external troubles, but the power is there, Liu He is a tyrannical person, how can he look at him? Marquis of Liao, a retainer, can you still ride on his head?"

Hearing this, Li Lin's eyes sank a little, he shook his head, sighed, and said, "Hey...... Originally, I didn't want to compete with him for this world, but it's a pity... Hey, the world is tricking people!"

Pang Tong smiled and said: "Hehe, Marquis Liao, no matter whether it is God's will or the world's tricks, the conflict between Marquis Liao and Liu He is no longer avoidable, even if Marquis Liao is unwilling To fight with Liu He, to say something disrespectful, even if Marquis Liao is willing to hand over all the rights in his hands, Liu He will not believe that Marquis Liao will do this. No matter what Marquis Liao does, Liu He will win You are plotting against him, in Liu He's eyes, Marquis Liao is a thorn in his side, a thorn in his flesh, if you don't get rid of it, it will be quick, how can Liu He sit still!"

Li Lin lowered his head and murmured, "If someone starts a war with Liu He, then the whole world... will be involved!"

Pang Tong shook his head a little discouraged, and said, "Marquis Liao, in fact, I have said so much, just to talk about Marquis Liao's current appearance!"

"Oh?" Li Lin looked at Pang Tong suspiciously, and said, "What does Si Chong mean?"

Pang Tong paused and said: "Marquis Liao! You are so merciful!"

Pang Tong now understands that the benevolence and righteousness of Li Lin in front of him is the real benevolence and righteousness, not the benevolence and righteousness close to hypocrisy like Liu Bei, and Li Lin's benevolence and righteousness are based on his soft heart. If he is not soft hearted, no!Even if he doesn't want to make progress, maybe the current Marquis of Liao is already the master of the great Han world!
Li Lin was surprised: "Oh? Sichong, what does this mean?"

Pang Tong fixed his eyes and said: "Liaohou! Don't talk about Liu He, but this time the battle in the Central Plains, Liaohou, do you really think that it is the best policy to discuss peace with Liu Biao and stop the war?"

Li Lin was shocked and said, "This...isn't it right?"

Pang Tong immediately said: "Marquis Liao, although Liu Biao's soldiers and horses are still there, and Jingzhou is behind him, but since Liu Biao already has the idea of ​​retreating in his heart, he knows that his momentum has almost been vented. The horse has already entered Nanyang, as long as the Marquis of Liao sends an elite army to go down the river and raid Xiangyang, it will be worthy of Jingzhou's big battle. , all the states in Henan can do their best to enter the hinterland of Jingzhou without leaving behind. It is better to intercept and kill Liu Biao on the road. The influence of the big families in Jingzhou is not to keep Jingzhou, but to keep their own family business. Even those loyal civil and military officials under Liu Biao will quickly fall to Liaohou. On this side, as long as the Marquis of Liao offers generous conditions, Liu Biao's strength alone will not be able to keep Jingzhou. Even if Liu Biao launches an attack behind the Marquis of Liao, his homeland will be lost and his army will be powerless. At that time, the Marquis of Liao will join forces Sweeping Jingzhou and destroying Liu Biao is effortless! The hegemony at that time may be several times greater than that of the Marquis of Liao today!"

"This..." Li Lin's eyes were full of astonishment. No matter whether it was his subordinates, civil or military, he had never objected to such a decision. People, openly uttered words that were completely opposite to their own decisions, could it be... Could it be that they were really wrong?Or... I am too soft-hearted, and I lead my subordinates to fight everywhere, and I hold the power every time. It is the brain and the soul of the entire army. All the soldiers are too dependent on themselves, no!It is too much to believe in yourself. As a monarch, it is rare to be able to do this, but this is also a huge disadvantage. It is okay if you are right step by step, but if you make a huge What's wrong?No one is against me, if I am wrong, the whole army is wrong, if I die, then...

Pang Tong's momentum remained undiminished, and he continued: "I know that the greatest hope in Liaohou's heart is not to let the people suffer from war and no longer be bullied by big families, but Liaohou, you must know that this big man has been established for more than 400 years. Well, 400 years have passed since the aristocratic family was the mainstay. The practice passed down for 400 years cannot be changed by the Marquis of Liao in just a few years. The reputation of the Marquis of Liao in the world today is two extremes , the difference is huge, the mouth of the common people in this world is very different from the mouth of this aristocratic family..."
