Chapter 226 Flaws
Mencius said: If there are few people, they admire their parents; if they know that they are lustful, they admire their young ai.
Pang Tong followed Sun Ce, and always seemed like a child who had not grown up. Suddenly, he stepped into adolescence. As the saying goes, those who are close to Zhu are red, those who are close to Mo are black. Pang Tong followed Sun Ce, not only did he analyze the problem like Sun Ce, but he even looked exactly like Sun Ce's beauty. He refused to let go of it when he liked it and stared at the other person.
Zhang Zifu didn't give Pang Tong a good look, and his almond eyes widened and glared back fiercely. Pang Tong was startled, and immediately lowered his head, drooped his eyelids, and did not dare to look at Zhang Zifu head-on. He could only secretly glance from the corner of his eyes. Zhang Zifu only cared about joking with Feng Wan and others, and he was the one with the loudest voice. She also loved to laugh and said something that others hadn't done anything, and she was already so happy that she couldn't breathe.
Pang Tong looked straight, but Zhang Zifu didn't look at him. Pang Tong was very hurt.
With the support of Cai Yong and Sun Ce, Feng Wan and others retreated with satisfaction. Sun Ce explained his purpose and asked Duan Wei about his person.
Cai Yong felt insulted. "Duan Wei? I don't know him. I was in Chang'an, and the only people in Xiliang who were in contact with were Dong Zhuo and Jia Xu. Others led troops to various places, and they did not serve as officials in the court. Duan Wei seemed to be in Huayin before, so why did he come here? This section of the road is not easy to walk."
Sun Ce was very disappointed.
"I have some impression of Zhang Liao you mentioned. Although this man is a martial artist, he has ambitions and can restrain his subordinates. In Chang'an, all the soldiers of the Bingliang were indulging, which caused great harm to the people. However, Zhang Liao did not allow his subordinates to plunder, and was a little out of place, so he has never been promoted. This lieutenant was just promoted. He seemed to be a person in charge before. Hey, he didn't seem to be from Liangzhou, but from Bingzhou. He was recommended by Ding Yuan to the General's Mansion."
Sun Ce's heart moved and suddenly found a breakthrough.
That's right, Zhang Liao was from Bingzhou. He was not Dong Zhuo's old subordinate, but was only annexed by Dong Zhuo. He had no friends in the Xiliang army and was from Bingzhou with Lu Bu, but he was not from Lu Bu now. He later became Lu Bu's subordinate and was close to Lu Bu's subordinate. Judging from a series of situations, his friendship with Lu Bu was very average. Lu Bu was defeated and he surrendered to Cao Cao. After surrendering to Cao, he was still close to Le Jin, who was guarding Hefei together, and Li Dian had a bad relationship with him.
This is a very dissatisfied person. Why did Xu Rong arrange for him to be with Duan Wei? Is Xu Rong who doesn’t believe in Duan Wei’s ability, or should he deliberately support a subordinate who is not from Liangzhou?
In any case, the conflicts between the people of Bingliang can be exploited. Historically, Jia Xu used the alienation strategy to resolve the coalition forces of Ma Chao and Han Sui, and made great contributions to Cao Cao's capture of Guanzhong. He can now also use the mutual distrust of the people of Bingliang to achieve the first victory in defending Nanyang and boost morale.
With this plan, Sun Ce specifically asked about the relationship between Bingliang people. Cai Yong knew a little. Although Lu Bu is now favored by Dong Zhuo, the villains are the same but not harmonious. Bingzhou people and Liangzhou people are both border people, cruel and easy to kill. For them, the others are prey, and conflicts often occur between each other, and there is no harmony at all.
Sun Ce felt relieved and stood up to say goodbye. After leaving the county school, Sun Ce asked: "Shi Yuan, what do you think about Xu Rong's arrangement for Zhang Liao to cooperate with Duan Wei?"
Pang Tong remained silent. Sun Ce asked twice before he realized that he could not tell the reason. Sun Ce felt strange and found that Pang Tong was very depressed, not as young as the slutty youthful atmosphere just now. He was about to ask him why, but when he saw his face, he suddenly understood again.
Needless to say, she is ugly and disliked by Miss Zhang Zifu.
Men like beauties, and women like handsome men. Lust is never a patent for men. Of course, this word does not have any derogatory meaning, and is not the same as the concept of later generations. The reason why the Master lamented that virtue is not as good as lust is not because lust is not good, but because there are few people with virtue and many people with lust, it shows from another perspective that lust is the nature of human beings - including men and women - and it is the same in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad.
"Like Zhang Zifu?"
Pang Tong nodded and shook his head again. "I...I..."
"If you like it, you like it. If you don't like it, you don't like it. What's the matter if you nod and shake your head?" Sun Ce joked: "After the 14th New Year, you can propose marriage. After this battle, you will invite your uncle Pang Degong to Wancheng and propose marriage to Mr. Zhang."
"I...I'm afraid I'm ugly and I'm not worthy of her." Pang Tong muttered.
"The key to men is not whether they look good or not, but whether they have a sense of responsibility and whether they have the ability to support a family. If you are so smart, it is his luck for the Zhang family to find you as a son-in-law."
Pang Tong was Sun Ce's confidant. He knew exactly why Sun Ce kept Zhang Xun. Sun Ce didn't have to pretend to be in front of him, and he spoke much more directly. Pang Tong was still a little hesitant, worried that Zhang Zifu would dislike him or that Zhang Xun despise his origin. The Pang family has a little reputation in Xiangyang, but the Pang family has never had any official positions. At most, they can only be considered a small powerful man, and they are not even considered a local clan.
"Okay, it's useless to be sad. Let's put this matter aside first, and I'll talk about it when I come back after the war. If it really doesn't work, then just grab it."
"Grab... grab?" Pang Tong was startled.
"What are you doing so surprised?" Sun Ce laughed and lowered his voice. "It's okay, this is my family's ancestors, and it's foolproof."
Pang Tong wanted to laugh, but couldn't laugh, his expression was a little strange.
Sun Ce did not return to the prefect's mansion and went directly to Deng Zhan's barracks. To deal with Duan Wei and Zhang Liao, he needed the help of Deng Zhan, the martial arts master.
Sun Ce then rushed to the baggage camp and asked Huang Chengyan to transfer 500 Wugang cars. These cars used thickened wooden boards as walls, and could transport goods when marching, and used as camping. The walls of the car could block the close-range shooting of bows and arrows, which was comparable to a large shield.
The only regret is that although the competition method was adopted, the craftsmen of the logistics camp proposed dozens of plans, but still failed to design a four-wheeler with practical value. For this reason, Huang Yueying was very angry and often got angry, jumping and cursing like a little tigress.
Two days later, Sun Ce prepared food and supplies, handed Wancheng to Yan Xiang, Du Ji and others, leaving Deng Zhan Dai to take charge of military power, and took more than 10,000 people including Huang Zhong, Qin Mu and others out of Wancheng and rushed to Licheng. He did not walk fast, and only traveled thirty miles a day, but the momentum was very strong. The post-general seal left to him by Yuan Shu was useless, but the post-general's ceremonial advocacy was brought with him, and he was very lively.
Soon, the figure of Xiliang scout appeared around the team.
