Chapter 211 He wants a cup of tea in the middle of the night
Chapter 211
He wants a cup of tea at midnight
"Is this how the emperor recruits talented people? I, Pang Tong, cannot bear this."
Pang Tong glanced at the two soldiers on the left and right, crossed his hands and looked at the soles of his feet. His intention was self-evident. The Sichuan army generals around him, Lei Tong and Shamoke, were so powerful that they had a look of embarrassment on their faces.
"Here comes someone."
Without changing his expression, Liu Zhang waved away the two soldiers who were escorting Pang Tong, pointing to the position on his lower right: "Look at the seat."
"yes."
The soldier added a seat on a higher step. Pang Tong shook his robes, slowly sat on it, and fanned the space outside his chest with his palms.
Liu Zhang frowned leisurely and took a breath of air. Fazheng secretly winked at him. Liu Zhang knew what Fazheng meant and wanted to tolerate it for the time being. Looking at the history books, great sages were all begged for it, but this Pang Tong
Do you really deserve to be so polite to someone who is so wild and rebellious, who repeatedly provokes people, and treats everyone as if they are nothing?
Liu Zhang put his forehead on his hands and tried hard to suppress his resentment towards Pang Tong.
At this moment, a soldier came from outside to report: "Reporting to my lord, I just reported that the ancient Xiangyang southwest city wall has collapsed, and Xu Shu is urgently sending people to repair it."
The generals looked at each other in confusion and started talking. Liu Zhang suddenly raised his head and looked at Pang Tong. Fazheng also had a strange expression. Liu Zhang and Fazheng suddenly understood the true intention of Pang Tong's advice.
Pang Tong asked the Sichuan army to send troops to the southwest city of ancient Xiangyang, not to seize the city defense while Xu Shu's defense was lax, but to wait for the heavy rain to break down the city wall, and there was basically a flat river ahead.
Pang Tong raised his eyelids and glanced at Liu Zhang, who was in a high position, with an unconcealable frivolity flashing in his eyes, as if he was the only one left in the entire hall, his folds glowing.
"Have you expected this?" Liu Zhang asked.
Pang Tong raised his head, flicked his robe sleeves, and said nonchalantly: "What's so difficult about this? I've already told the emperor to attack some city in other states. I, Pang Tong, will blink my eyes and attack the city in Jingzhou, haha."
, I didn’t even have to lift my eyelids.
After ancient Xiangyang was abandoned, Liu Biao originally allocated a large amount of money to transform it into a military fortress. However, the Cai family who was responsible for this matter, in order to intercept more money, built the southwestern city of ancient Xiangyang against the mountain because there was no
How many people noticed that it was neither renovated nor repaired.
This year's seasonal rains have been too intense. Before giving advice to the emperor, I took advantage of General Gao's opportunity to take advantage of the enemy and carefully observed the city wall. If there is another heavy rain, the city wall will definitely collapse.
It's a pity that there is no pure gold and no one is perfect. I, Pang Tong, was still negligent. I expected heavy rain, but I didn't expect the heavy rain to be so violent. I was talking about tomorrow.
i collapsed, I didn’t expect it to collapse tonight.
When I looked at the sky in front of me, the wind and clouds were unpredictable. If today
i The emperor's uncle did not lock me up in the firewood shed, but was willing to listen to Pang Tong's words, so it might not be too late to make adjustments.
It's a pity that the emperor's uncle's ability to recognize people is really unflattering. The golden phoenix looked like a big rooster. Now that he is going to Xiangyang, Xu Shu must guard the mountain passes before the city wall is repaired. The heavy rain is falling, and the emperor's uncle has already
No chance."
After Pang Tonglao finished speaking, he shook his head and sighed, as if he didn't listen to Fenghuang's words and would suffer the consequences in front of him.
"Come here, let's see how many people there are."
Liu Zhang shouted loudly, stared at Pang Tong and said: "Shi Yuan, although I missed one opportunity, but with Shi Yuan here, I will have many more opportunities to capture Xiangyang, right?"
"Your uncle's vision is too short-sighted." Pang Tong said loudly: "Little Xiangyang is just a small gift from Pang Tong to his uncle. It also shows my determination to join the emperor's uncle. I, Pang Tong, come from the Pang family in Jingxiang.
I'm afraid you all have doubts about taking refuge with the emperor's uncle, but by capturing Xiangyang, your doubts should be dispelled. What I want to plan for the emperor's uncle is the whole world."
Pang Tong was so impassioned that the soldiers brought a table and placed it in front of Pang Tong. A look of satisfaction appeared on Pang Tong's face. He put his wrist on the table and tapped it three times with his five fingers together.
Liu Zhang frowned, then straightened his eyebrows and asked slowly: "Shi Yuan, it's already midnight now. I'm afraid it's a little early to have breakfast at this time."
Pang Tong grinned and said: "Hahaha, the emperor's uncle was born in the imperial family. How come he didn't know that when friends and elegant people sit across from each other, they need to be accompanied by fine wine. I, Pang Tong, get carried away when I drink. There are important things to talk about tonight, so I won't let you drink this wine for the time being.
Yes, but you have to have a cup of tea."
"I see that you are as complacent as you are without drinking."
Lei Tong cursed softly at the side, but he didn't expect to be heard by Pang Yuan. Pang Tong laughed a few times: "The reckless man doesn't know the elegance of cooking tea. I, Pang Tong, will not argue with rough people. I think I, Pang Tong, am full of talents. Since I want to
If you sit with your uncle and talk about the general situation of the world, how can you achieve 10/20 points if you don't talk all night long?"
Pang Tong glanced at Lei Tong's broken arm and said solemnly: "General, this hand was lost on the mulberry slope. Xu Shu is just a small plan. All the gentlemen in the hall are blind. It is really sad. If I, Pang Tong, were here,
, how can a general become a general with a broken arm?
A general is not born with a left-handed sword, right? A broadsword requires both hands. If the general loses his right arm, I am afraid he will become a useless person in the future. It is really sad and deplorable."
"What did you say?"
Lei Tong was furious. Ever since he lost his right arm, he hated it when others mentioned it in front of him. Lei Tong asked himself, even if he lost his right arm, he would still be worthy of the position of general. After the battle of Caisangpo, he only had three days of training.
When he was injured, he led his army to Xiangyang. He fought bravely to take the lead in several sieges of Xiangyang in order to retaliate.
As a result of his defeat in battle, the wound on his broken arm cracked several times, was soaked by rain, and became infected and suppurative.
Now all this was described by Pang Tong as a useless person. How could Lei Tong swallow this breath? Lei Tong stood at the bottom of the steps, closest to Pang Tong. Lei Tong pushed him out, wondering how Pang Tong, a scholar, could withstand the thunder.
Tong pushed it and immediately rolled to the ground with the case.
At this time, many generals were cheering in their hearts. Pang Tong's words, "All the gentlemen in the hall are blind," can be said to have insulted the entire Sichuan army's civil and military forces. They openly dared not say that Lei Tong's actions are really pleasing to the people.
Even the expressionless Liu Zhang felt a little relieved.
"Uncle Emperor, is this how you restrain your subordinates?"
Pang Tong got up from the ground, arranged his clothes, and asked Liu Zhang loudly. Liu Zhang hurriedly said: "Shi Yuan, don't be angry, Shi Yuan, don't be angry, Lei Tong is a rough man, why do you have to argue with him, I am here to apologize for him, right?"
Already."
"That's unreasonable." Pang Tong obviously didn't buy it. He flicked his robe sleeves and said, "If the emperor's uncle is so perfunctory, it will be a disgrace to the sage. Since the emperor's uncle values reckless men and emphasizes martial arts over literature, Pang Tong can't compete with the emperor.
Uncle, we have something serious to discuss, so we are leaving now."
Pang Tong was about to leave as he spoke. Fazheng winked at Liu Zhang. At this moment, Liu Zhang really wanted Pang Tong to just leave. But seeing Fazheng's anxious look, he thought of the difficulties that the Sichuan Army would face in the future and Pang Tong.
With his talent, he acted recklessly for his own ideals and in order to save many lives.
Liu Zhang stood up from his seat and shouted repeatedly: "Shi Yuan stays, Shi Yuan stays."
Pang Tong stopped and turned his back to Liu Zhang.
Liu Zhang sighed and said regretfully: "Now I finally understand why the previous wars were so difficult. It was because there were only military generals and no great sages like Shi Yuan. Shi Yuan stayed and we continued to discuss important matters."
Pang Tong did not look back, and Liu Zhang said to Lei Tong: "General Lei, why don't you quickly apologize to your husband?"
Lei Tong's face turned red and he did not move.
"Why don't you go quickly?" Liu Zhang's voice became louder, and the generals remained silent. Their anger at this time was probably as angry as Lei Tong. Zhang Ren, who had always looked normal, tightened his right hand, and the scabbard rubbed against the hilt.
There was a crisp "click" sound in the silent lobby.
Lei Tong's chest rose and fell. After a long time, he took a step forward, clapped his chest with one hand, and saluted behind Pang Tong. He spoke clearly and in a loud voice: "Sir, I'm sorry."
After saying the five words one by one, Lei Tong snorted heavily and strode out of the main room without looking at anyone. The sorrow and hatred in his heart melted into every sonorous and powerful footsteps.
Liu Zhang's hands behind his back trembled, and the struggling movement in the corner of his eyes flashed away. A surge of anger emerged on his face, and he said loudly: "It's too shameful. I've rebelled against him. Zhang Ren, turn around and tell me,
Confinement Thunder Copper Three
i, let him meditate on his past."
"Yes." Zhang Ren responded calmly.
"Shiyuan, let's continue, come and serve tea."
Pang Tong reluctantly took his seat again, and Liu Zhang returned to the main seat after Pang Tong sat down.
…………
The kitchen of Liu Zhang and his soldiers was in a room not far from the main hall. Most of the chefs had gone to bed. Xiao Furong saw that Liu Zhang was still discussing matters and she couldn't sleep either, so she got up and asked Mulberry Ye to learn how to make sheep nǎi tea.
Mulberry patiently explained the details of making tea.
Just then, a soldier came to the kitchen to prepare tea.
"What kind of tea are you drinking in the middle of the night?" Xiao Furong asked curiously.
Sang Ye said to the soldiers: "The soldiers who cooked have already gone to bed. They have to get up very early tomorrow to make breakfast. It's quite hard. Can't we serve tea during the day?"
The soldier said in embarrassment: "That gentleman said that he doesn't want to drink tea made with boiled water, but wants freshly cooked tea."
Xiao Furong and Sang Ye glanced at the dark rain curtain outside and looked at each other, "What kind of weirdo are you? You want to drink freshly made tea in the middle of the night."
"How about this." Xiao Furong's eyes suddenly lit up and she said, "I won't bother those soldiers tonight. Anyway, I'm just drinking alone. Let's cook for him."
"Is this good?" Sang Ye hesitated.
"It's okay. I'll taste it first this time before taking it out. If it doesn't taste good, I'll take my sister's. Then sir, I'll have nothing to say." After Xiao Furong finished speaking, she waved off the soldiers, picked up her sleeves and started to drink.
…
In the hall, Liu Zhang frowned and said to Pang Tong: "Sir, I still don't understand why you want to join our army. Does Mr. Pang De know that he has joined our army? Or do your relatives and old friends know about it?"
Pang Tong laughed: "Uncle, can you let Pang Tong guess why your uncle is so harsh on the family?"
Liu Zhang was stunned for a moment and said: "Sir, please give me a try."
Pang Tong said: "This is not a secret. In fact, the troubles of the family have existed for a long time. The family has colluded with cronies and put the family's interests first in everything. Anyone who offends the core interests of the family, land, and official channels is going against the entire family, and
To go against a family is to go against all the family systems that have in-laws or contacts with that family. The emperor's uncle's actions in Jiangzhou and other places are tantamount to making enemies of the world's aristocratic families.
This result led to the family controlling everything, land, official positions, and even the entire Han Dynasty, in front of the emperor's uncle. I dare to boldly say something offensive, the current Han Dynasty is actually the family's country.
Not to mention that poor families and common people hate this system, even some knowledgeable people from the world are also dissatisfied with the current system. The world is like a cancer, slowly eroding the world, but whoever touches this cancer will be harmed at least to the body, and more seriously.
Otherwise, he will be killed, and the court will tolerate him. The poor family will surrender. This is the reason why the family can continue proudly.
Everything must be reversed. I, Pang Tong, dare to assert that with the development of the times, the family will decline after its peak, but it should not be now. The emperor's uncle is going against the will of heaven. There are many difficulties ahead. If there are no geniuses from heaven to assist the emperor's uncle
, Pang Tong also dared to boldly say that the emperor's uncle will be defeated, and all the kings in the hall will either become loess and withered bones, or they will surrender to other princes."
"So, you are the genius who came from heaven?" He snorted with great disdain, and Liu Zhang turned around and scolded him.
Pang Tong laughed loudly, waved his hands and said: "This short general is wrong. I, Pang Tong, was not born to fight against some rich and poor family. That has nothing to do with me. I, Pang Tong, just want to achieve great fame and great achievements."
To be honest, before I went to Jiangling to join General Gao Pei, my uncle Pang Degong, Sima Hui, and Zhuge Ci ordered Xu Shu, me, and Zhuge Kongming, another great sage from Jingxiang, to help Liu Biao, but Zhuge Liang directly
I refused. I couldn't stand my uncle's kindness, so I agreed to serve as an internal correspondent for the Sichuan Army. Only Xu Shu agreed to join Liu Biao.
But Liu Biao is incompetent, who can I, Pang Tong, be? An can serve him? Starting from Jiangling, I have been observing the emperor's uncle's actions. The emperor's uncle is calm, decisive, and resolute. It is me, Pang Tong.
The lord I have been looking for all night, and the emperor's uncle's courage to challenge the world's noble families, is what I, Pang Tong, admire.
As the saying goes, geniuses are easy to come by, but wise masters are hard to find. As I said just now, families are connected, and the children of the family are all centered on the family. This is the way to cause disaster. How could I, Pang Tong, miss the great opportunity to make achievements for the sake of the family?
So I am today
I gave the letter to Huang Yueying and asked her to take it to my uncle, just to show that I, Pang Tong, am not a family puppet, and will definitely achieve great achievements and become famous in history."
"Shi Yuan should know that the pen of the family is like a sword. If you pursue fame and fame and break away from the family, aren't you afraid that they will ruin your reputation?" Only now did Liu Zhang understand the sentence: Days are unpredictable, misfortunes and fortunes are unpredictable. Yes.
What's the meaning.
Pang Tong raised his hands and laughed, and said nonchalantly: "Uncle Huang knows that the pen of the family is as sharp as a sword, doesn't he know that he can become a king or lose a bandit? If I can assist the emperor to achieve great things, those weak family members can only crawl at my feet.
, if I, Pang Tong, are defeated and live or die, I can only blame my lack of talent and poor learning, and who will blame me if I remain in disgrace for thousands of years?" (To be continued.
