Guan Yu, Zhang Liao, Pang Tong and others entered Nanyang City, as for those things such as grain and grass, naturally someone arranged them properly, and there was no need for Guan Yu to be distracted at all.
The people of Nanyang City spontaneously came out to watch, and when they saw so much food, they all talked about it, but their statements were the same, that is, there was so much grain and grass, and their lives were guaranteed.
The people now believe that they have heard about Emperor Shenwu's love for the people like a son, and Liu Jun, who newly occupied Nanyang City, has distributed food to them. That's military rations, and the people are not stupid, so they can naturally see it. Now that Liu Jun has not enough food, he did not reduce the appeasement of the people first, but transported grain and grass from the local area, and the emperor who was so considerate of the people was the first time that the people had encountered it.
Guan Yu was full of pride when he saw such a situation.
Guan Yu and Zhang Liao went to the governance center, Pang Tong and Zhang Liao prepared wine and food to entertain Guan Yu, but Guan Yu refused.
"Now that money and food are tight, these customs are not needed. What a waste. Save some for the people and soldiers. Guan Yu's reason is as simple as that.
Zhang Liao and Pang Tong knew that Guan Yu was a human being, so they nodded with a smile, Chen Zhi, this newcomer, is now in awe of Guan Yu, he used to hear that Guan Yu cares about you very much for the people and soldiers, but now that he has experienced it personally, his impression of Guan Yu has risen a lot.
Guan Yu simply asked for a little tea, and nothing else mattered. Such a small request, Zhang Liao and Pang Tong naturally satisfied.
Guan Yu was silent after drinking a bowl of tea, and his eyes glanced at Chen Dao.
Chen Zhi is not a stupid person, he understands Guan Yu's intentions, he is now a general, Guan Yu must have something important and secret to say, it is inconvenient for him to know here.
"Generals, adults, and young generals still have some important things to deal with, so they will retire first!" Chen Zhi chose to leave very wisely.
"General Chen can go by himself!" Pang Tong said with a smile, thinking that Chen Zhi's kid is definitely worth cultivating.
Chen Zhi bowed respectfully and then turned to leave.
After Chen Zhi left, Zhang Liao asked, "Yun Chang, does Your Majesty have any important orders?" β
Guan Yu nodded and said, "Indeed! His Majesty was very happy that the two of them took Nanyang, and praised the two of them in front of us, and the two of them made great contributions this time. β
Zhang Liao heard Liu Yu praise him, and his heart was happy.
Although Pang Tong was happy, what Guan Yu said was not the point, so he said: "Yun Chang, let's get down to business first." β
"Your Majesty asked a certain person to transport grain and grass to solve Nanyang's urgent need this time, and another thing is the matter that Chen Dao just now, Your Majesty asked a certain person to test whether this son is really effective. A certain probed once, and found that this son had sharp teeth and sharp mouth, but he couldn't know its reality. Guan Yu said truthfully.
"What Yun Chang said makes sense, and I also think that this kid is really a bit unreliable." Zhang Liao echoed and said that he didn't have a good impression of Chen Zhi.
Pang Tong pondered for a while, and then said: "Actually, I don't know what this kid has planned, but it's really rare for him to have such abilities and brains at his age. β
Guan Yu felt that Pang Tong's words were very reasonable, and Liu Yu's hunger for talents was well known. Let's take Guan Yu as an example, Liu Yu didn't just use all kinds of indiscriminate means to calculate Guan Yu, which made Guan Yu feel a little guilty about Liu Bei now.
Guan Yu suddenly remembered something else and asked, "Shi Yuan, Your Majesty once said that you captured a scribe from Liu Bei here, where is it now?" Your Majesty asked a certain persuasion. β
"Oh man! Yun Chang, if you don't say it, you almost forgot about it. I don't know what the name is, but I'm locked up in a prison. Pang Tong said.
Zhang Liao said beside him: "Yun Chang, that guy is definitely a waste, do you know how he was captured by us?" The guy came with a bunch of soldiers and horses to stop our army, and when he saw that he was in the lead, he felt that he should pay attention to it. Who knows that this guy doesn't have to be knocked to the ground in the next move, it's just vulnerable, and there is still no need to recruit this kind of person. β
"Wen Yuan, if he is a scribe, of course he will be vulnerable to fighting against you. You don't want to think about how strong you are. Pang Tong said playfully.
Guan Yu hesitated for a while, if it was really as Zhang Liao said, then this person must be a high-minded person. A scribe actually rushed to the front, this kind of courage is worthy of praise, but rushing over without measuring his own strength is looking for death and a fool. Apart from grabbing credit, Guan Yu couldn't think of any other reason.
It's just that there are only a few scribes under Liu Bei, and they have a good relationship with Guan Yu, although Guan Yu doesn't know who it is, he also wants to persuade him.
"At the behest of His Majesty, I have to try it anyway. Please also lead the way. Guan Yu said.
"Yes! This man is on the other side of the prison right now, and I'll take you there. Pang Tong immediately said.
"You're welcome. Shi Yuan, you can arrange for a small official to bring a certain person over. Guan Yu knows that Pang Tong still has a lot of things to do, so he doesn't have to bother him, and at the same time, if Guan Yu meets an acquaintance, there are some things that don't let Pang Tong get involved well.
Pang Tong seemed to sense Guan Yu's intentions, laughed lightly, and then called a small official to take Guan Yu to the prison.
"Strategist, do you think Yun Chang can succeed?" After Guan Yu left, Zhang Liao asked.
Pang Tong said with a serious face: "I'm afraid this is not so easy, although Liu Bei is relatively downtrodden now, but his subordinates are all loyal, if you want Liu Bei's subordinates to surrender, unless you follow Liu Bei for a short time." Those who had followed Liu Bei for a long time would have been too difficult to convince them to surrender. β
Zhang Liao was full of questions, and continued to ask: "But Yun Chang has followed Liu Bei the longest, and he is still Liu Bei's sworn brother, Yun Chang can take refuge in His Majesty, so why not others." β
Pang Tong hurriedly covered Zhang Liao's mouth, and hurriedly whispered: "Wenyuan, the water in here is very deep, don't ask too much." β
Zhang Liao's mouth and nose were tightly covered by Pang Tong, and he was about to be covered by Pang Tong and lost his breath, Zhang Liao really couldn't stand it, so he pushed Pang Tong away fiercely and said, "I am almost out of breath." β
"I'm sorry, I'm too excited for a while." Pang Tong said apologetically, and he also realized that he had been too abrupt just now.
After Zhang Liao took a few deep breaths, the discomfort just now slowly disappeared. After recovering, Zhang Liao asked: "You said just now that the water is very deep, I really don't know what I mean, can you explain it to Zaixia?" β
Zhang Liao looked sincere, and Pang Tong felt that he should tell Zhang Liao.
"Wenyuan, let's go inside and talk." Pang Tong pulled Zhang Liao to a corner of the room, and then Pang Tong looked left and right to see if there was anyone else nearby.
Zhang Liao saw that Pang Tong was so cautious, and he was a little worried about Guan Yu. At the same time, a voice suddenly appeared in Zhang Liao's heart, he asked a question that he shouldn't have asked. But Zhang Liao, who was very curious, finally chose to find out.
Some people's personalities are gossipy, and Zhang Liao is such a person.
Seeing that there was no one else around, Pang Tong returned to Zhang Liao's side and said softly: "Wen Yuan, maybe you don't know, Yun Chang and Liu Bei had a deep brotherly relationship when they joined our army, and it was so good. There are rumors all over the world about the Taoyuan Three Knots. They have lived and died together since the beginning of the Yellow Turban Rebellion. But Liu Bei was separated from Guan Yu after losing Xuzhou, and Guan Yu finally came to His Majesty's side. Do you think this is strange? β
"I don't understand! What does it matter? Zhang Liao didn't understand that Guan Yu was strange when he arrived at Liu Yu, it didn't make sense.
Pang Tong really wanted to scold, he said tactfully, Zhang Liao still doesn't understand, Zhang Liao usually has a good brain, why did he become stupid at this time. Zhang Liao's mind couldn't turn around, and he was really confused now.
"Wen Yuan, think about it. Liu Bei and Yun Chang. It stands to reason that after Yun Chang and Liu Bei are separated, they should try their best to return to Liu Bei's side, and Yun Chang's name of loyalty is resounding all over the world. But Yun Chang came to His Majesty's side and made a colt, isn't it strange? Is there anything that can make Yun Chang abandon his name of loyalty? Pang Tong simply said it directly, lest Zhang Liao not understand.
"Are you saying that Yun Chang has the shadow of His Majesty in this matter?" Zhang Liao was shocked, he intersected with Guan Yu, Zhang Liao grew up in Hedong, and Guan Yu was a fellow villager. Therefore, Zhang Liao has an understanding of Guan Yu, and thinks that only Liu Yu can make Guan Yu turn his back on Liu Bei.
Pang Tong said even more firmly: "Absolutely, I'm afraid it was Your Majesty who did it himself." Zai also has his own way, and he heard something, how Yun Chang came to His Majesty's side is not clear, and there is almost no other insider except Guan Yu. I can't know half a point even if I spend a lot of effort under it! β
"There's still such a thing! Shiyuan, why are your paths so wide!? Zhang Liao was surprised that Pang Tong had such a strong strength.
Pang Tong shook his head and said: "In the next family, it is not surprising that any family will have its own power." β
Zhang Liao nodded silently, he also knew a little about the situation of the family.
"So it's about Your Majesty, Wen Yuan, let's not ask too much about Yun Chang, if Your Majesty knows, we won't be able to eat and go around!" Pang Tong said solemnly.
Zhang Liao regretted it a little, it would be good if he didn't know this, but now that he knows, there will definitely be trouble in the future.
"I understand, thank you for your care and reminder. The kindness of the military advisor is felt in my heart! Zhang Liao felt a lot of pressure when he thought of Liu Yu being involved, but fortunately he didn't say too much.
In fact, Pang Tong still didn't say a word, according to the information obtained by Pang Tong, Liu Yu had no sisters, and there was no one named Liu Zhen in the royal family, so Pang Tong knew that there was a problem here.
Pang Tong is a person with a strong desire to learn, and he wants to figure out what he doesn't understand. After joining Liu Bei's camp, Pang Tong knew how to get along with others, and hoped to understand the affairs of Liu Yu's henchmen and important subordinates, so that he could get along with them.
For example, Chen Gong, Dian Wei, Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Fu Zhu, etc., Pang Tong can inquire and understand. But I don't know how Guan Yu got to Liu Yu's side, and Pang Tong has been probing for a long time without any information.
Pang Tong had to be suspicious, no information is the biggest information. Guan Yu's defection to Liu Yu definitely has an insider, and Pang Tong didn't dare to understand this matter too deeply.
Pang Tong even vaguely felt that there seemed to be countless pairs of eyes staring at him around him, so he was very careful when doing these things.
Pang Tong can conclude that the biggest problem is the appearance of the princess Liu Zhen, as long as this problem is solved, everything can be solved. It's a pity that no matter how hard Pang Tong tries, he can't find out half of Liu Zhen's news. There were even a few Pang Tong's spies who completely disappeared when they inquired about Liu Zhen's intelligence, and they were the kind of people who couldn't see people alive or dead. Pang Tong knew that he could not continue.
"Wen Yuan, as Your Majesty's courtiers, we have to pretend not to know and see some things, only in this way can we be safe for a long time. If Your Majesty wants us to know, you must tell us, but we must control our curiosity. Pang Tong said earnestly.
"Military advisor, he is a rough man, but he only knows how to be loyal to His Majesty, and he will not ask about the rest of the things, you can rest assured." Zhang Liao said solemnly.
"Wenyuan, your intelligence is extremely high, and I want to be close friends with you in the future." Pang Tong smiled and nodded, Zhang Liao's resourcefulness is extremely high among the generals, Pang Tong also admires Zhang Liao very much, and hopes to maintain a good relationship with Zhang Liao, which will definitely be useful to him in the future.
"Shi Yuan, aren't you and now close friends?" Zhang Liao asked with a smile.
Pang Tong was amused by Zhang Liao and said with a smile: "Okay, what Wen Yuan said is good!" It's abrupt, let's have a drink today. β
"Solid wishes!" Zhang Liao also wanted to have a good drink with Pang Tong.
The two hurriedly ordered their subordinates to bring them food and drink.
The servants immediately brought sumptuous food and drinks. Why would these people prepare the food so quickly? In fact, these drinks and dishes were prepared by Pang Tong to pick up Guan Yu's wind and dust, but he didn't expect Guan Yu to eat them, but they were taken by Zhang Liao and Pang Tong to get acquainted with each other. It's really not a waste at all.
And Guan Yu was also led by the little official, and went around to the prison.
"General Guan, this is Nanyang's prison!" The little official nodded and said
Guan Yu nodded lightly, and then stepped forward.
The little official secretly shouted in his heart that Guan Yu was really difficult to wait, and he didn't smile at all along the way, what were people doing with that stinky face.
"General Guan, slow down, the little one will open the way for you." The little official hurriedly followed, who called him a small person, in the eyes of the big man, he was a dispensable character.
