Fengchu Pang Tong's name is quite well-known, especially in the Jingxiang area. Everyone knows it, and Lu Su is naturally one of them. According to rumors, Pang Tong fought thousands of miles away and became the king of domination.
A capable minister. Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chu can secure the world. Liu Bei has Crouching Dragon and Zhuge Liang. If he can recommend Pang Tong to Sun Quan, he might also have a chance to secure the world.
Lu Su then invited Pang Tong to go with him. Pang Tong smiled and said, "Master Lu has important matters to attend to. I am just wandering here. Aren't you afraid that Master Lu will miss your important event by traveling with me?"
Lu Su was startled, then he laughed and said: "I have no big business, I came here just for you. My master is a courtesy gentleman. If you go to Moling, you will definitely be appreciated by my master. You will be granted the title of Marquis just around the corner. It will not be in vain."
ability!"
"Hahaha..." Pang Tong laughed: "I am an idle person, how can I get the ability? There are Zhou Gongjin, Zhang Zibu, and Lu Zijing in Jiangdong, why do you need me, a mountain villager? Mr. Lu said that he didn't want it.
But I have seen you act in a hurry, unlike someone who doesn’t have important things to do!"
Lu Su waved his hands repeatedly. Pang Tongtong smiled: "Master Lu is the supervisor of the army. He is not at Sanjiangkou and suddenly came here. Could it be that there is something wrong with Sanjiangkou?"
Lu Su looked at Pang Tong and hesitated for a long time. Pang Tong said quickly: "Since Mr. Lu has something to hide, I will leave without asking."
Pang Tong stood up and left, but Lu Su hurriedly held him back and sighed heavily: "To be honest, there is indeed something going on at Sanjiangkou. Our general, Huang Gai, and Old General Huang want to surrender to Cao Cao. That's why I hurried to Moling to report to my lord in person!
Old General Huang is a veteran of three dynasties, we cannot make arbitrary decisions, we still have to obey the Lord’s orders!”
"Hahaha..." Pang Tong laughed loudly and looked at Lu Su. Lu Su was so scared that he shook his head repeatedly: "Everyone said that Lu Zi was gentle on the outside and strong on the inside. It was indeed good. I didn't expect Zhou Yu's little plan.
I even deceived you, it seems that Cao Cao must have fallen into the trap!"
"Plan?" Lu Su was stunned and bowed deeply to Pang Tong: "Can you please give me some advice, sir?"
Pang Tong smiled and said: "Long Fei, Zhou Yu is preparing to attack Cao Cao's camp with fire. The northwest wind is strong at the moment. We can only wait until the southeast wind blows in spring before we can carry out the plan. However, there are still more than a month before spring. If Cao Cao cannot be stabilized, Cao Cao's
The chain of warships crossed the Yangtze River, all natural dangers were lost, and the fire attack failed. Wouldn't it be a waste of time? Using the yellow cover to confuse Cao Cao is indeed a good idea!"
"Ah!" Lu Su was shocked: "So, I have wronged General Huang?"
Pang Tong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Among all the people in Jiangdong, only Zhou Yu can stop Cao Jun. If it were anyone else, this battle would be defeated!"
Lu Su sighed heavily, took out the letter written to Sun Quan from his arms, and tore it into pieces. He suddenly said to Pang Tong: "Now that my urgent matter is over, I can accompany my husband to Jiangdong to see my home."
My lord!" The two looked at each other and laughed.
The rest of the journey was much easier to walk. There was no need to rush the horses. The two of them walked from Chaisang along the south bank of the Yangtze River towards Moling as if they were traveling around the mountains. Jiangdong is indeed a prosperous land that has experienced little war.
.In the past few years of the Sun family's rule, Sun Ce and Sun Quan were quite dedicated, and all the generals under their command were attentive. There was peace on both sides of the official road. The people were busy in the fields, and pedestrians passing by were also laughing and laughing.
While walking, Lu Su introduced Pang Tong to the current situation in Jiangdong in recent years. Sun Quan listened to Zhang Zhao's advice and adopted methods of rest and farming. The people's lives have improved greatly. He also sent troops to eliminate banditry in the territory, and even sent a large army.
They went deep into Shanyue and used the strategy of being gentle and clearing to make the people of Shanyue surrender to Jiangdong. After a few years, not only did Jiangdong not be exhausted, but Jiangdong gradually gained a new atmosphere.
Regarding diplomatic strategy, under the coercion of Long Fei and Cao Cao, Sun Quan united with Long Fei to fight against the powerful Cao Cao. At the same time, he maintained contact with Cao Cao to make himself invincible. No matter in this battle, Jiangdong finally
All will benefit. Now, Sun Quan is already a hussar general. With this title, it will be more blatant to occupy Jiangdong, and it will be much more convenient to do things. In order to stabilize his position, Sun Quan continued to send envoys to Yizhou and Xizhou.
Liang and other places come into contact with other princes, and can be regarded as the most active branch among all the princes.
Not to mention, Pang Tong quite agrees with Sun Quan's actions. In a sense, Sun Quan is the only one who suits him best. He doesn't have Long Fei's strength, nor does he have Cao Cao's vast space. He needs to survive in the cracks.
Some skills.
When he arrived at Moling, Lu Su did not see the colorful flags waving and the huge crowds of people he had imagined. When he was in Chaisang, he had already sent people to Moling to report the news. He hoped that Sun Quan could welcome Pang Tong with a grand ceremony. However, there was nothing. The city
Only Zhuge Jin stood alone at the door.
The two dismounted and greeted Zhuge Jin. Although Zhuge Jin and Pang Tong had known each other for a long time, they could not show too close to avoid misunderstanding by others. Lu Su left Zhuge Jin to receive Pang Tong and immediately went to the general's mansion to report to Sun Quan.
Seeing Lu Su walking away, Zhuge Jin hurriedly saluted again: "My lord, it's not the right time to come here! Could it be that the war in Yizhou is not good?"
Pang Tong shook his head: "Kong Ming helped Liu Bei to capture the important towns of Fuling, Jiangzhou, and Zhuti. Zhang Lu of Hanzhong took the opportunity to lead his troops into Sichuan and contained Liu Zhang's army in Zitong. The situation was great."
"In this case, why did your lord ask you to come to Jiangdong? I think it won't take long for Jiangdong to belong to Cao Cao or Long Fei!"
Pang Tongtong smiled: "Because of this, this situation needs to be reversed. Neither Cao Cao nor Long Fei, Jiangdong, can want to do this!"
"Oh...!" Zhuge Jin nodded repeatedly: "The Lord is thoughtful!"
The two of them had just put food and drinks in the post house when Lu Su came in again with a smile on his face: "Sir, I have been waiting for you for a long time. My lord has some important things to do. I will summon you in person when I am free. Please take care of me."
Pang Tong is such a smart man. He is the nephew of Lord Pang De. Not killing Zhuge Jin in the last Hei Bing incident has already given Hei Bing enough face. Now he sends Pang Tong here. Isn't it obvious that he wants to sideline himself? Pang Tong nodded.
: "No hurry, no rush!"
After waiting for three to five days, Sun Quan agreed to meet Pang Tong after Lu Su repeatedly persuaded him. On this day, after Sun Quan's ascension to the palace was over, Lu Su brought up the matter of Pang Tong again, and Sun Quan could no longer shirk it.
, and asked Lu Su to bring Pang Tong. After entering the general's mansion, it was indeed luxurious, much better than Longfei's mansion in Xiangyang. There were rows of flower-like maids, and groups of majestic warriors.
Pang Tong followed the cautious Lu Su with small square steps, which was particularly eye-catching. Sun Quan was sitting high in the hall, and Lu Su brought Pang Tong in. Sun Quan only glanced at it, feeling disgusted. If nothing else, just two points.
For one thing, Sun Quan knew that Pang Tong was from Heibing. On the other hand, Pang Tong's appearance was too horrible to look at. After just one look, Sun Quan felt that he didn't need to eat lunch today.
Lu Su hurriedly said: "My lord, this is Mr. Fengchu Pang Tong. He is a great talent. He can rule the country and secure it, and he can win thousands of miles with military force. But today, if you don't compete with geniuses, you will only be stronger than Guo Jia of Long Fei."
!”
Pang Tong laughed and said, "Master Lu is ridiculous. Pang Tong, a man from the mountains, has no ink and can only write and calculate to make people laugh!"
Zhang Zhao on the side coughed: "People are called Crouching Dragon and Phoenix, and they can settle down the world. Isn't it funny that they can only write and do calculations?"
Sun Quan said with a dark face: "Forget it, since you are here, Zibu! Dongyang in Kuaiji is short of a county magistrate, so let me be the magistrate first!"
"Lord!" Lu Su said hurriedly: "Mr. Feng Chu is a great talent, isn't this little county magistrate hiding his talents?"
"Zijing doesn't need to say anything more. This matter is settled. Get out of here!" After Sun Quan finished speaking, he got up and went back to the back hall without even looking at Pang Yi.
Pang Tong laughed loudly: "Everyone in the world judges people by their appearance. I wanted to help Jiangdong dominate one side, but I didn't expect that he was also a person who didn't know the great sages. Let's give it up. It's not that I, Pang Tong, don't try my best, it's just because the times are not with me!"
Zhang Zhao smiled: "Mr. Fengchu, you have such a loud voice, do you dominate? I, Jiangdong, are in danger of laying eggs now, where can I be dominant? Mr. Pang, do you want to be the magistrate of Dongyang County or not?"
Lu Su felt a little angry. He had traveled thousands of miles to find a great talent, but his lord turned a blind eye. Just as he was about to speak, Pang Tong stopped him and said with a smile: "Dongyang is a large county with a population of tens of thousands and fertile land. I am afraid that I have nothing to gain and no talent."
It can’t be governed.”
"You still have some self-awareness. In that case, come and see the guests off!" Zhang Zhao glanced at Lu Su: "Master Lu, don't call everyone a great sage. There are so many talents in the world. Is it possible that everyone is a great sage?"
?”
After leaving the general's mansion, Lu Su apologized profusely, hoping that if Pang Tong stayed for a few more days, he would definitely persuade Sun Quan to reuse Pang Tong. Pang Tong smiled and did not answer. Zhuge Jin was waiting outside the door of the mansion, and when he saw the two people coming out, he hurried forward and smiled.
Hehehe asked: "My lord, has Mr. Ren been appointed as the military advisor?"
Pang Tongtong smiled: "No, no, I am a rough man. How can I stand in the court with an ugly appearance?"
"Ah!" Zhuge Jin was shocked: "If you are not a military advisor, what is your position?"
Lu Su shook his head: "Dongyang County Magistrate."
"What? Magistrate of Dongyang!" Zhuge Jin pulled Pang Tong over and said, "What is there to govern in this small Dongyang? How can a great master be so scornful? I will go talk to the lord right now."
"That's all!" Pang Tong shook his head: "I accept your good intentions, and it shouldn't be a problem to have two of you in Jiangdong!"
"Hey!" Lu Su and Zhuge Jin sighed: "Where are you going, sir?"
Pang Tong waved the sleeves of his robe and said as he walked: "The world is so big, and I, Pang Tong, am even a six-foot-tall man, how can I not have a place to live and settle down? It would be a good idea to visit hermits in famous mountains and practice immortal magic! Hahaha...
"
Looking at Pang Tong's back and listening to Pang Tong's laughter, Zhuge Jin and Lu Su looked at each other and were shocked at the same time. They thought in unison, wouldn't it be more troublesome if Pang Tong went to Jingzhou?
