"What did you just say?"

Liu Bei, who was ready to fight a tough battle to prove himself, was so stunned by Pang Lin's words that he didn't know what to say for a moment.

"The villain said that Pang is willing to work for Mr. Xuande, but he hopes that Mr. Xuande will not turn him away."

Pang Lin didn't seem to want to continue playing riddles and expressed the Pang family's meaning directly. This made Liu Bei sober, but he felt even more confused.

"As far as I know...you seem to have never thought of..."

"Before Duke Xuande raised his army, we had never thought about this, but now..." Pang Lin looked at Liu Bei and chuckled, "I, Pang, feel that it is better to give up Jingzhou and strive for a broader future.<

/p>

It's better to settle for the next best thing and continue to develop in Jingzhou, maybe it can also help Xuande Gongyier.

After all, Mr. Xuande’s reputation for benevolence and righteousness is spread all over the world. As long as we don’t let Mr. Xuande down, then Mr. Xuande will naturally not let us down.”

At this time, Pang Lin said it as if it was not about the surrender of the whole family, but as if it was a trivial matter, and he said it very simply about the benefits of surrender that are difficult for celebrities to talk about.

It actually made Liu Bei feel a wave of surprise.

I have a lot more thoughts about the Pang family.

"Why?" It's not that Liu Bei didn't believe Pang Lin's surrender, he just didn't believe the reason Pang Lin gave.

"..." Pang Lin looked at Liu Bei in front of him, gave a final smile and stepped aside half of his body to make an invitation gesture toward Liu Bei, "I don't know the specific reason.

If Duke Xuande is not afraid... maybe after the army enters Jiangling, other people from my Pang family can explain to Duke Xuande."

Looking at Pang Lin's expression, Liu Bei couldn't see any problem. Although he was full of surprise, he still waved the whip and hit his horse directly.

"Come here, bring Mr. Pang Lin a horse!"

The army headed towards Jiangling City in Nanjun again, but this time the emotions and thoughts in everyone's hearts were completely different.

On the way, Liu Bei also came together with Pang Lin again. Looking at Pang Lin, who was very respectful to him, it was hard for Liu Bei to feel any ill feelings in his heart.

What surprised Liu Bei even more was that Liu Bei could tell from his words that he knew himself and even his subordinates very well.

Even Ma Liang was very clear about his previous stay in Jiaozhou and his own situation in Wuling...

Liu Bei couldn't help but feel a little scared at the same time.

"Listening to Mr. Pang Lin's words, it seems that you know Bei quite well?"

Seeing the smile on Liu Bei's face, Pang Lin's heart suddenly skipped a beat, knowing that he had just spoken.

"Please don't worry, Mr. Xuande, this is just a matter of Pang Lin alone!"

"Oh?" Liu Bei continued to chuckle, his expression unchanged, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Does Mr. Xuande know who the villain's first wife is?"

"Your first wife?" Liu Bei was even more confused at this time, "What does this have to do with it?"

"The boy's first wife is Xi Zhen's biological sister..." Pang Lin also smiled helplessly at this time, "The Xiang and Ma families have always been good friends, and the same is true for the Pang and Xi families.

Xi Zhen and I have a close family connection, so Wen Xiang has been writing letters to persuade me over the years.

I hope the boy can persuade his brother and Pangzi.

Of course, even if he fails to succeed, I am afraid that the boy will take the initiative to join Xuande Gong now, there is no doubt about it."

After hearing Pang Lin's words, Liu Bei's smile became even brighter, and his attitude towards Pang Lin also improved visibly, but in his heart he remembered what Pang Lin just said.

Most of the Jingzhou aristocratic families have good family ties...

At the same time, I also thought of my military advisor Zhuge Kongming.

"From this point of view, it is not easy to take Kong Ming seriously when he was in Jingzhou..."

Outside Jiangling City, Pang Shanmin, the governor of Nanjun, and Pang Tong, the captain of Nanjun, have been standing side by side waiting for a long time.

When they saw Liu Bei's army approaching, they immediately took the initiative to greet him, bowing to Liu Bei and inviting him to lead the army into Jiangling City.

"Everyone, follow me into the city!"

Liu Bei didn't hesitate at all when he opened the Jiangling City Gate. He didn't even let anyone identify the authenticity of Pang Shanmin and Pang Tong, nor did he let anyone control them.

He just took them with him, and then led the generals directly towards the city.

Even the army was stationed outside the city.

This scene really amazed Pang Shanmin. He had to compare this courage with the former Liu Jingzhou, and the result was very gratifying.

"Xuan Degong is so heroic and courageous, no wonder he is regarded as a heroic enemy by Cao Gong, and he is well-deserved!"

Pang Shanmin's words made Pang Tongwei smile slightly, but he didn't say much. He just continued to take Liu Bei and others to the governor's mansion in Nanjun.

The former county seat of Nanjun was Xiangyang. Now that it is split, Nanjun naturally needs to be reorganized by the generals. Time is running out and the county governor's mansion looks a bit rough and shabby.

Fortunately, no one cares about this matter. What Liu Bei cares about is the outcome in the governor's mansion.

"Everyone!" After Liu Bei came to the hall of the governor's house, he knelt down on the main seat under the escort of Chen Dao. He looked at the two brothers Pang Shanmin and Pang Tong and asked directly, "Can you tell Bei now, what exactly is this?"

What's going on?"

Pang, who has always been known to be close to Cao Cao, has suddenly changed his attitude. This can't help but make Liu Bei feel surprised and a little suspicious.

Pang Shanmin, on the other hand, glanced at Pang Tongyi, stepped back half a step, and gave up his position.

Pang Tong did not immediately give Liu Bei an explanation, but did something else.

"Reporting to Duke Xuande, today not only we want to dedicate Nanjun to Duke Xuande, but there are also some people who want to join Duke Xuande!"

After Pang Tong finished speaking, he immediately glanced at the guard at the door, and then saw the guard leaving quickly. At this moment, Chen Dao directly put his hand on the handle of the saber at his waist.

Chen Shi, Deng Fangshamoko and others who came with Liu Bei also looked at Pang Tong at the same time.

It seemed that if there was any bad news at the next moment, they would kill the two of them here.

"No problem!"

At the critical moment, Liu Bei was able to keep his composure and directly pressed Chen Dao's arm, indicating that Chen Shi and others did not need to worry. He just looked at Pang Tong indifferently in front of him, wanting to see what he wanted to do.

Soon, a burst of rapid and somewhat chaotic footsteps came from outside, and then the group of people came directly in front of Liu Bei.

"Yang Yi, Xiangyang, pays homage to Duke Xuande!"

"Yang Yong, meet Duke Xuande!"

"Xiangyang Xianglang, pays homage to Duke Xuande."

"Xiangyang Xiang Chong, pays homage to Duke Xuande."

"Dong Hui of Xiangyang pays homage to Duke Xuande."

......

More than ten people came here and bowed to Liu Bei, but the last two people surprised Liu Bei the most.

"Yingchuan Shitao, pay homage to Duke Xuande!"
