Liu Zhang was already depressed, and when he heard Xun You's words, he felt a splitting headache.
You can't defeat the opponent with a frontal attack, and if you retreat to the street pavilion, you will be attacked by the enemy.
A headstrong man actually dragged down an army of 60,000 to such a predicament that he could neither advance nor retreat!
I took too big a step and finally reaped the consequences...
Liu Zhang finally realized what it means to have a weak intestine!
It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world.
No matter how difficult and painful the road ahead was, Liu Zhang could only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, forcing himself to hold on!
Just when everyone was looking sad, Pang Tong suddenly stood up.
"Lord, why are you so pessimistic?"
"I have a plan that can directly break Guo Hejia's poisonous plan!"
Liu Zhang's eyes widened and he looked at Pang Tong with surprise.
"Shiyuan, are you serious about this? Now is not the time to joke!"
Even Xun You and Liu Ye were helpless, but Pang Tong confidently expressed his ability to crack it!
If it were another person, Liu Zhang would definitely think that he was speaking arrogantly!
If the conspiracy that Guo Jia laid for him at a huge cost was easily resolved, how could he be worthy of his title of genius?
"Don't worry, my lord, I'm not talking nonsense!"
The corners of Pang Tong's mouth were slightly raised, with a look of confidence on his face.
"Shi Yuan, speak quickly!"
Liu Zhang was so excited that his breathing became rapid.
If Pang Tong can resolve the crisis, he will definitely be the number one contributor to the occupation of Guanzhong!
The other three people also set their sights on Pang Tong.
Especially Xun You, not only was there no jealousy in his eyes, but his look of expectation was even greater than that of Liu Zhang.
"Lord, as long as we defeat the Xianbei people, we will be able to resolve it perfectly!"
"By then, not only will the counties in Guanzhong be conquered, my lord will also be able to take the position of Duke of Qin!"
"All Guo Jia's clever plans failed on their own!"
silence...
After hearing Pang Tong's clever plan, Liu Zhang, Xun You, Liu Ye, and Fazheng were all stunned.
If they were not sure that Pang Tong had real talent and learning, they would all suspect that there was an idiot around him.
All expectations and hopes were shattered by Pang Tong's 'wonderful plan'.
"Shiyuan..."
Liu Zhang opened his mouth. He wanted to say something, but nothing came out.
Pang Tong's clever calculation left him completely speechless, as if everything had become boring!
Liu Zhang sighed silently and did not rebuke Pang Tong in the end.
He just assumed that Pang Tong had good intentions and wanted to ease his bad mood at this time.
Pang Tong saw that everyone was silent and some even didn't bother to look at him, so he took the initiative to ask questions again.
"What? Doesn't my plan work?"
"As long as we defeat the Xianbei people, everyone in the world will think that my lord is willing to take risks in order to obey the emperor's will!"
"No one will question my lord's loyalty to the court and your majesty again!"
"At that time, when my lord ascends the throne of Qin Gong, he will be carrying out the will of the emperor and obeying the will of all the people!"
If he hadn't known the strength of Feng Chu and Pang Tong, Liu Zhang's mentality would have exploded at this moment.
"Shiyuan, I understand how you want to comfort me. It's really not necessary..."
Maybe Pang Tong had good intentions...
Liu Zhang could only persuade himself in this way, but he really had no intention of accepting Pang Tong's kindness.
To a heartbroken and disheartened person, no matter what kind of jokes you tell, it will be difficult to make him want to laugh.
"My lord, why can't you understand?"
Seeing that no one understood what he meant, Pang Tong felt anxious.
After all, I was rated as the top scholar in Nanzhou, how could I be so blind!
"Shiyuan, maybe you are a fan of our authorities. Please explain it more clearly."
In the end, it was Xun You who gave Pang Tong the face and chose to believe him.
"My lord, Commander Xun, you are all over the top."
"What's the meaning?"
Liu Zhang had a puzzled look on his face and didn't understand Pang Tong's thoughts at all.
However, Pang Tong's serious expression seemed to tell Liu Zhang that he was not messing around.
"My lord, I always feel that Guo Jia took the position of Duke of Qin to design us. In my opinion, this is not all the case!"
"Princess! King! Emperor! This is a huge step, an existence that is on par with the imperial court. Is it only the lord who wants to achieve it?"
How can it be!
Although everyone did not answer, they already had the answer in their hearts.
Whether it is now or in history, how many people have fought for this position and would rather die!
"Shi Yuan means that Guo Jia asked his lord to inherit the dukedom to pave the way for Cao Cao?"
Xun You exclaimed, Pang Tong's words opened up a new way of thinking for him.
"That's right! After Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, the whole world rose up to attack him. So far, no one dares to claim to be emperor."
"But of all the princes in the world, who doesn't covet that position?"
"Cao Cao controlled the government, used nepotism, and wantonly killed loyal people. He even didn't spare Dong Guiren, who was pregnant with the emperor's flesh and blood! Could such a person be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty?"
"Cao Cao has long been treasonous, but Yuan Shu's mistakes made him dare not openly usurp the Han Dynasty and stand on his own initiative!"
Xun You looked horrified and nodded repeatedly, as if he had suddenly realized something.
"So Guo Jia allowed the lord to ascend to the position of Duke. In fact, he asked the lord to test the reaction of the court and the people of the world for him!"
Pang Tong shook his head and then revealed a sneer.
"No, letting the lord take the lead is only one aspect, and more importantly, it is to clear the way for Cao Cao to ascend to this position in the future!"
"Cao Cao is different from my lord. He is within the imperial court. Once he has this idea, he is bound to encounter fierce opposition."
"At that time, Guo Jia can use the lord as an example to silence everyone!"
Just when everyone was impressed by Pang Tong's foresight and showed signs of enlightenment, Liu Zhang suddenly murmured to himself.
"I've become a chestnut..."
"Lord, what did you say?"
Liu Zhang's voice was so soft that Pang Tong didn't hear him clearly.
"Nothing! Shiyuan, keep talking."
Liu Zhang waved his hands repeatedly, and Pang Tong did not ask any more questions.
"According to the evaluation of Guo Jia by the Lord and Military Advisor Xun, this person must be a very clever person!"
"The more far-sighted a person is, the more benefits and rewards he will get after his efforts!"
"Therefore, I deduce that Guo Jia's real purpose is to let my lord test the waters of being promoted to Duke on Cao Cao's behalf!"
"As for letting the lord and the Xianbei people restrain each other, it's just an additional benefit."
Pang Tong pursed his lips and smiled, but did not continue.
Surrounded by top-notch wise men, Pang Tong believed that everyone had come out of their ideological misunderstandings.
"call..."
Xun You took a deep breath and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
What he admired most at this moment was not Pang Tong who saw through Guo Jia's intentions, but Liu Zhang who tried his best to keep Pang Tong by his side!
