Under the leadership of Xiao Xiao, a five-foot-tall young man wearing a Confucian robe walked into the hall holding a bald feather fan. As soon as the young man entered the hall, everyone under Sun Ce was in an uproar. Some even pointed at the young man for stealing. They whispered, and laughed a few times from time to time, and the laughter was not ordinary harsh. Of course, this was not because everyone under Sun Ce was too unreasonable, but because the young man had too much personality.
He has a shoehorn face, a flat nose, small eyes, and pockmarks, probably caused by measles when he was a child. This face is shocking enough, but the youthful appearance makes people don’t know how to describe it. Although the robe is very pretty It's clean, but it looks a bit nondescript no matter how you look at it. Not to mention the bald feather fan on the right hand, the left hand is also carrying a greasy wine gourd, which is really a bit unconventional.
"That's enough." Seeing everyone pointing at the young man and making comments, Sun Ce shouted: "Do you still know etiquette? Please be quiet."
The hall suddenly became quiet, and the young man was seen stumbling drunkenly, his small eyes slightly closed, his big head disproportionate to his body raised high, and the two holes on his flat nose scanning the hall full of counselors and generals. When he saw Sun Ce, The young man just cupped his hands slightly and said, "I have seen General Sun."
"Bold" Chen Wu frowned and jumped out: "Why are you so rude when you see General Sun?"
"You are just a warrior, how dare you talk about etiquette?" The young man pointed at the people in the hall with his feather fan and said: "You know etiquette, why do you laugh at my appearance? If General Sun hadn't stopped you, let alone handed you over, I would have walked away immediately. Slaves must have their own masters, and since General Sun has not been able to train you into people who understand etiquette, why should I follow the etiquette?"
"You..." Chen Wu's eyes widened, as if he would take down this madman as long as Sun Ce gave the order.
"Zi Lie, stand down." Sun Ce stood up, bowed fiercely and said, "My subordinates don't know the etiquette and have offended you. I hope you won't blame me."
"That's true." The young man said with a smile, "General Sun knows etiquette so well, so my hard work is not in vain."
"Sir, you are joking. Let's sit down." Sun Ce ordered that his own primary school move seats for the young people. When the young people sat down, Sun Ce asked with a smile: "I heard that sir has a strategy to pacify the mountains and rivers. Please tell me if you can do it once and for all." I will definitely thank you for solving Shanyue."
"There's no need to thank you very much." The young man said with a smile: "If you are not of my race, your heart will be different. Shanyue often harasses the people of Jiangdong. As a man of Han Dynasty, I naturally have the responsibility to eliminate this disaster."
"Please sir, please give me some advice." Although Sun Ce had a bad temper, he was magnanimous and good at employing people. He knew that people with great talents have tempers, so he tolerated the young man again and again.
"Huh? I heard that Sun Bofu has a violent personality, and I didn't expect him to be so tolerant. Let me give him another try." The young man thought in his heart and said sarcastically: "I heard that General Sun has many civilized and military men. How can he even be a small mountain?" Yue, there is nothing we can do? It seems that General Sun’s subordinates are all drunkards."
"Sir" heard the young man mocking his subordinate Wen Wu, Sun Ce's face darkened, and he said seriously: "If I have something wrong, sir, you can speak out. Even if it is sarcasm, I am happy with it. However, everyone under my command has made great contributions to me. "If you are disrespectful, sir, please leave immediately. I don't want to embarrass you."
"Oh?" the young man asked with a smile: "General Sun doesn't want to conquer the mountain?"
"I think" Sun Ce said in a deep voice: "But if we want to exchange the dignity of everyone under his command, Ce would rather lead his troops into the mountains and compete with the mountains."
"Haha... General Sun is really a hero." The young man put his head straight, the arrogance on his face disappeared, and even the two round holes under his flat nose disappeared.
"Sir, you are so complimentary." Sun Ce was stunned when he heard the words. He immediately understood what the young man meant and couldn't help sweating his back. Because of this, he looked up to this ugly young man even more. After all, Sun Ce was not a good man and a believer. If he dared to play with him like this, if
If you don’t have great talent, you are seeking death.
"Okay, let's get down to business. I'm here to show General Sun how to break the mountain." The ugly young man said with a smile: "Actually, the mountain is not difficult to level, but it's just that we can't catch them all. What's even more annoying is that the people of Shanyue are like climbing mountains and wading through rivers.
Whenever the flat ground is not conducive to fighting, they will hide in the mountains and jungles, leaving people helpless."
"We all know what you said." Chen Wu had a bad temper. He was very dissatisfied with the young man's attitude just now, so naturally he was not angry.
"Well, what's the use of it? If you have the ability, you can come up with an idea." The young man snorted coldly: "It's very impolite to interrupt others when they are talking. However, seeing that you look like this, you are probably of Hu descent, so I won't blame you.
is you"
"You..." Chen Wu was furious. When he first joined Sun Ce's army, he was often laughed at because of his poor family, so he was yellow and thin. Although he has improved somewhat over the years, the mark left on him when he was young cannot be changed.
That's why he hates people making fun of his appearance. Besides, that's fine if others make fun of his appearance. But the young man is uglier than him, so who has the right to make comments about him?
"Okay." Sun Ce frowned and said, "Zi Lie, you must not argue with your husband anymore. Just listen quietly, sir. Although Zi Lie is reckless, you should not always target him. You should just tell me your ideas."
"My idea is very simple. It has two steps." The young man held out a finger and said: "The first step is to strengthen the wall and clear the country, forcing Shanyue to rebel."
"What about the second step?" As the saying goes: An expert will know if there is a problem as soon as he takes action. Sun Ce's eyes lit up when he heard this, Lu Su had already adopted this strategy of treating the symptoms but not the root cause.
"The second step is to test Jiangdong's army." The young man said with a smile: "The mountains are full of rebellion, so naturally they will not bring the old, weak, women and children into battle. The general will support them with one army, and then send another army deep into the mountains and forests to sweep them away.
The people from Shanyue built a stronghold, captured all the women and children, and burned down the stronghold."
"Sir, it's easy to say it, but it's easy to do it..." In fact, the young man's idea was not something that no one had thought of before, but without a guide, no one could find the Shanyue people's village.
"Since I'm here to offer advice, how can I not be prepared?" The young man smiled and took out a map from his arms and said: "This is a map I drew while traveling in Shanyue. It lists more than a dozen of the largest cottage cities of the Shanyue people.
Draw it."
"What? Our army has been looking for a stronghold in Shanyue for a long time." Sun Ce said happily: "Every time I send scouts into the mountains, they are killed by the Shanyue people. How did you draw this picture?"
"Although those Shanyue people don't know how to be kings, none of them are fools." The young man said with a smile: "Now that the world is in war, the people who can trade with Shanyue are all old, weak, women and children. Even if there are strong men, they are missing arms and legs. Every time the general
The scouts sent into the mountains this time should all be strong men. The people of Shanyue can tell at a glance that they are craftsmen, so why not kill them? When I enter Shanyue, I will naturally not arouse the suspicion of the people of Shanyue."
"Is it that simple?" Sun Ce looked at the young man with a look of disbelief.
"It's that simple." The young man smiled and said, "Actually, as long as you find the rules, many things are very simple. However, if you can't see the rules, even simple things can be very difficult."
"Sir, what you said is true." Sun Ce was already a little convinced. He bowed and asked, "Sir, with such a great talent, he must not be an unknown person. I dare to ask him his name."
The ugly young man smiled and said: "General, I think the scribe next to you should already know who I am, otherwise, he would not have said anything until now."
"Xiangyang Pang Tong's courtesy name is Shiyuan, and his name is Mr. Fengchu. I wonder if I am right?" The scribe who could stand next to Sun Ce was naturally Lu Su. He knew the character of a person like Pang Tong, so he did not mention Pang Tong's identity.
"Exactly," Pang Tong said with a smile, "You should be General Sun's right-hand man, Huainan Lu Su and Lu Zijing."
"Exactly" Lu Su said with a smile: "Since Mr. Pang is here, he must be willing to serve my lord. I wonder what he thinks of my lord after some testing?"
"General Sun is naturally good, but his temper is a bit violent. If he can restrain himself, he can be regarded as a wise master." Pang Tong said with a smile: "However, I also want to meet Sun Polu. After all, he is General Sun's father."
"Mr. Pang," Sun Ce walked up to Pang Tong, took his hand and said, "Although there is no difference between your defecting to my father and me, sir, I still want to retain you. After all, as a general, I lack counselors around me. It's just
It’s really hard for Zi to respect one person. If he doesn’t give up, Ce will be willing to worship him as his teacher, listen to his teachings every day, and pay homage to the teacher.”
"General Sun, no!" Seeing that Sun Ce actually bowed down and bowed down, Pang Tong hurried to help him. The reason why he came to see Sun Ce was because he wanted to seek refuge with him.
Pang Tong wanted to compete with Zhuge Liang. He heard that Zhuge Liang went to Wuling, and Zhuge Liang had been very optimistic about Liu Bei. Pang Tong believed that Zhuge Liang would probably defect to Liu Bei. Now Liu Bei's enemies are Sun Ce, Liu Zhang, and Cao Cao. Liu Zhang and Cao Cao's strength
If Pang Tong is strong, he may not be able to fight Zhuge Liang even if he surrenders. But Sun Ce is different. He only has Lu Su under his command. If Pang Tong surrenders, he will definitely have a place.
"If you don't want to stay, sir, I won't be able to bow to you." Seeing Pang Tong's intention, Sun Ce actually acted like a rogue.
"This..." Pang Tong sighed and said: "Forget it, I will serve as the general's adviser. If I offend you, please forgive me, general."
"Good." Sun Ce said happily: "I have sir, just like Zhou had Lu Shang, Emperor Gaozu had Zhang Liang and all the kings to obey orders. From today on, Mr. Pang is the military advisor of our army, and his orders are my words. You must not
neglect"
"I will obey my lord's order." Sun Ce's civil servants and military officers all bowed, even Chen Wu, who had not dealt with Pang Tong very well, was no exception.
"Lord, since Mr. Pang is already one of our own, how about leaving the matter of dealing with Shanyue to him?" Although Chen Wu accepted Pang Tong, it does not mean that he does not hate him. Since the strategy to deal with Shanyue was proposed by Pang Tong, as a suggestion
The operator is naturally the best executor
"What do you think... Mr. Pang?" Sun Ce hesitated. Not all counselors were suitable for leading an army.
Pang Tong smiled and said: "If the lord trusts me, it's just a mountain, so why bother..."...
