Chapter 458: Upheaval in Jingzhou, the flying phoenix (thanks to [Mercury's Masked Superman])
Pang Tong followed Wenpin to the Prefecture Mufu.
As soon as they entered the gate, Pang Tong, Wenpin and others happened to see Zhuge Jin and several officials walking toward the gate while discussing.
From a long distance away, Pang Tong raised his voice and shouted: "Zhuge Ziyu!"
Zhuge Jin suddenly heard someone calling his name. He looked up in confusion, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face, "Shi Yuan!!!"
Not caring about the colleagues around him, Zhuge Jin quickly stepped forward to Pang Tong, reached out and took Pang Tong's arm, as if he was afraid that the person in front of him was just an illusion.
After looking up and down for more than three seconds, Zhuge Jin still stared at Pang Tong in disbelief and said with emotion: "Shiyuan, it's really you! Why are you here! It's so wonderful to see you again.
alright!"
Both Pang Tong and Wenpin could see that Zhuge Jin was happy and enthusiastic from the bottom of his heart.
Wenpin saw that Pang Tong really knew Zhuge Jin, and that Zhuge Jin was quite respectful and enthusiastic towards him, so he quickly sued Pang Tong and said: "The general will not be able to recognize Mount Tai, so I ask Mr. Pang to atone for his sins."
Zhuge Jin asked with some confusion: "What are you..."
Pang Tong did not answer Zhuge Jin's question, but looked Wenpin up and down, then raised his head and asked Zhuge Jin, "What is this man's name?"
Wenpin's heart skipped a beat, and he thought something bad was wrong: "Are we going to settle the accounts after the fall..."
Zhuge Jin saw Pang Tong and Wenpin's appearance and knew that there might be some misunderstanding between them, but he still replied: "This man's surname is Wenpin and his given name is Zhongye. He is one of the generals I rely on most. Shiyuan,
you......"
"Haha..." Before Zhuge Jin could finish asking, Pang Tong suddenly laughed and looked at Wenpin up and down, until Wenpin felt chills all over his body.
Just when Zhuge Jin was about to plead with Pang Tong for Wenpin, he didn't expect Pang Tong to say: "This man is not bad, he is very dedicated..."
"Uh..." Wenpin didn't know whether Pang Tong meant it as a compliment or a disparagement, but no matter what the meaning was, Wenpin still cupped his fists and saluted and said, "I don't dare to take it as a compliment from Mr. Pang."
Pang Tong nodded slightly, thinking that this civil servant was flexible and flexible, and he had the air of a general.
Suddenly, Pang Tong approached Zhuge Jin and asked him in a low voice: "Have you brought any money?"
"?" This turn of events came so quickly that Zhuge Jin was stunned by the question.
"I asked you if you brought any money?"
After Pang Tong asked the question for the second time, Zhuge Jin came back to his senses. He subconsciously reached out and took out a money bag from his arms and said, "I only brought so much..."
Pang Tong was not polite, grabbed the money bag, threw it to Wen Pin and said: "Go and help me pay for the remaining wine."
Wenpin quickly caught the money bag with quick eyes and hands, but he did not agree immediately. Instead, he turned to look at Zhuge Jin.
Pang Tong also talked about the bad things that happened before...
"That's it? What did I think was going on..." Zhuge Jin couldn't help but waved her hand to Wenpin, telling him to do as Pang Tong said, and then took Pang Tong to the back room.
This is a great military advisor who fell from the sky. Zhuge Jin will not let Pang Tong leave again.
I don’t know what the two talked about, but Pang Tong finally agreed to stay and assist Liu Qi.
Perhaps Liu Qi does not have the talent of his father Liu Biao, but Liu Qi has a heart that his father does not have. At least Liu Qi can let his subordinates do their work, and will not suppress them everywhere because they are jealous of their status or their talents exceed his own.
.
Zhuge Jin invited Pang Tong to help, and Pang Tong lived up to Zhuge Jin's expectations.
Under Pang Tong's plan, the defenders in Xiangyang City defeated Cai Hao's attacks several times in just five days. They also made many ingenious plans and defeated Cai Hao in a panic.
In the end, under the command of Pang Tong, the Xiangyang defenders not only solved the siege of Xiangyang on their own, but also forced Cai Mao to the point where he had no way to go to the sky or to the earth.
Half of Cai Mao's 30,000-strong army was destroyed by Pang Tongdong with a hammer and a stick. The side effect of this result was that those Jingzhou aristocratic families who were still waiting on the fence suddenly came to Liu Qi's side.
The son has gone.
After receiving the help of most of the wealthy gentry from aristocratic families, Liu Qi quickly gained control of Jingzhou.
The name Feng Chu also resounded throughout the nine counties of Jingxiang!
The rapid change of Jingzhou's political power shocked everyone in the world.
And the most important figure among them, Pang Tong, made everyone seem to see a rising star!
The name of Wolong has not yet appeared, but the name of Fengchu has already begun to emerge!
...
Cao Cao, who was in Yecheng, suddenly received a secret letter from Guo Jia.
The letter briefly described the changes in Jingzhou, giving Cao Cao a preliminary understanding of the current situation in Jingzhou.
Everything happened so fast that Cao Cao had no time to react. Liu Qi secured Jingzhou with the help of Zhuge Jin, Pang Tong, Wenpin and others.
This sudden change of power in Jingzhou, as well as Liu Qi's rapid establishment of power in Jingzhou, made Cao Cao unable to help but pay attention to and fear Zhuge Jin, Pang Tong and others from the bottom of his heart.
Guo Jia's secret letter also said one thing, that is, Liu Biao's death was indeed not simple.
Cai Mao's biological sister, Liu Biao's wife Cai, has been secretly giving Liu Biao a chronic poison, so Liu Biao's health is getting worse day by day.
The Shadow Guard Jiaziying began to operate in Jingzhou very early, and secretly had many contacts with the Cai family and other wealthy families who were close to Cao Cao.
After nearly two years of work, Mrs. Cai and Cai Mao have actually secretly turned to Cao Cao. As long as they can successfully seize power in Jingzhou, and as long as Cao Cao raises troops to respond to the southward movement, the Cai family will persuade Liu Cong to surrender to Cao Cao.
According to the calculations of Yan Feng and the Cai family, Liu Biao should be able to live for another year, and Cao Jun would be almost ready by then.
It's a pity that they made countless calculations but only missed one person, and that person was Liu Biao himself!
Liu Biao had already noticed that Mrs. Cai was poisoning him, but the servants and guards in his house were all members of the Cai family. He himself was too sick to get out of bed, and was unable to contact the outside world to expose the Cai family's conspiracy.
In order to break the situation, Liu Biao came up with a desperate plan, and the price was his own life!
Liu Biao summoned Zhuge Jin on the pretext of handing over official duties, and then revealed to him the news that he would die early.
Although Zhuge Jin was heartbroken, he also knew that taking them by surprise was their only chance to seize power from the Cai family.
Therefore, Zhuge Jin secretly contacted a group of trustworthy officials, nobles and generals to make careful arrangements in advance.
When Liu Biao took his own life a few days later, Liu Qi was quickly elected as the Lord of Jingzhou by Zhuge Jin and others, and sent troops to counterattack the Cai family.
However, the strength of the Cai family still exceeded Zhuge Jin and others' expectations, and they obviously underestimated the shamelessness of those who sat on the fence...
If Pang Tong hadn't appeared by chance and was willing to help, perhaps returning the favor this time would have really been self-defeating for them.
