After the meeting, Liu Biao specially left Liu Bei and returned to the backyard of his mansion with him, and the two sat opposite each other and began to talk.

"Xuande went to Jingnan to pacify Zhang Xian's rebellion before, and his hard work is high, and now Jingnan has been decided, and the rear of our army is worry-free, thanks to Xuande's merits."

Liu Bei listened to Liu Biao's praise, and hurriedly arched his hand: "Brother praised, brother is just making some modest efforts for Jingzhou, how can he afford such praise from brother." ”

Liu Biao waved his hand and said: "Don't be modest, your suggestion to join Cao to resist Tao is very appropriate in the old man's opinion, and the land of Yan and Yu occupied by Cao Cao is a place bordered by the Quartet, mixed between Hebei and Jingzhou, if there is a war with the pottery merchants, the Central Plains is the main battlefield of the three parties, but it can avoid the war in the land of Jingzhou, which is a wonderful strategy." ”

Liu Bei nodded and said, "Brother is thoughtful, but he is more thoughtful than Bei. ”

Liu Biao listened to Liu Bei's praise and looked a little proud, he laughed a few times, suddenly his face changed, and then he lowered his head and coughed violently.

Liu Bei hurriedly stood up, stroked Liu Biao's back, and said, "Brother, who are you?" ”

Liu Biao finished coughing, straightened up, waved his hand gently, and said, "It's okay, it's okay...... The old man is old, and his body is not as good as before, and he will catch a cold if he is not careful. ”

He took a sip of water, suppressed his cough, and said, "Xuande, the old man brought you here today to introduce you to a handsome person." ”

Liu Bei hurriedly said: "What kind of talent has my brother gotten recently?" ”

Liu Biaole said: "Xiangyang celebrity Pang Degong once recommended a handsome man for the old man before, it is his nephew, the old man has sent someone to invite him to come, you can just meet later, the old man recommended to let you take charge of the army to Dingjingnan, or this person." ”

Liu Bei nodded suddenly.

Pang Degong's name, he had naturally heard of it, was a famous man in Xiangyang, and his reputation in the south was unique.

When I was young, I saw an ugly-looking young man, led by the guards, to the courtyard, and gave a salute to Erliu.

As soon as Liu Bei saw Pang Tong, his eyes couldn't help but widen, and his face was full of confusion.

The talent that my brother introduced to me looks like this?

What kind of person is this?

After Pang Tong saluted the two, Liu Biao immediately beckoned to Pang Tong and said, "Shiyuan, come and sit." ”

Pang Tong answered, and then came to Liu Biao and sat down.

"I have admired Xuande Gong Daming for a long time, and when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary, and he was a masterpiece among people."

Liu Bei smiled and said, "Mr. is too praised." ”

"It's not too much of a compliment!" Liu Biao said to Pang Tong: "Xuande said for me today, saying that it was to let the old man join Cao to resist Tao, and compete with Cao Cao with the status of the Central Plains Jingzhou outpost, the old man thought so, I don't know what Shiyuan thought?" ”

After listening to it, Pang Tong agreed: "What Xuande Gong said is the most conducive to the development of my Jingzhou today, but Cao Cao is the hero of the world, if you want to persuade him, you must be a person who can speak well. ”

Liu Biao turned his head to look at Liu Bei.

Liu Bei understood what Liu Biao meant, and immediately began to talk to Pang Tong to test this person's talent and adaptability.

As the conversation deepened, Liu Bei became more and more surprised by Pang Tong's skills.

Nothing else, but he can speak eloquently and have a wide range of knowledge, and there are really few people who can compare with Pang Tong today.

At least among the people Liu Bei knew.

When he was young, he saw Liu Bei say to Liu Biao: "Brother's eyesight is really good, Mr. Pang is really a hero in the world, if Mr. Pang is allowed to persuade Cao Cao, he will definitely be able to reach an alliance." ”

After getting Liu Bei's approval, Liu Biao no longer had any doubts, and immediately sent Pang Tong to set off.

Pang Tong is young, but he is new to the rivers and lakes, and his utilitarian heart is not shallow, and this time he went to see Cao Cao with the confidence that he will succeed.

Cao Cao was in Luoyang at this time, working on subduing the land of Guanzhong.

As far as personal feelings are concerned, he is also extremely worried about the rise of potters, whose main territory borders Xuzhou and Yangzhou to the east and Hebei to the north, which can be the first to bear the brunt.

In order to plan for the future and leave himself a deep place to retreat, Cao Cao temporarily stayed in Luoyang and ruled Guanzhong.

To be honest, to some extent, this is also a last resort.

Just when Cao Cao was worried, Pang Tong came to Luoyang with Liu Biao's instructions and asked the alliance to unite with Cao Cao.

When Cao Cao heard that Liu Biao was willing to unite with him, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, but on the face, he still had to pretend to be very awesome.

You have to save face when you say anything.

But what Cao Cao didn't expect was that he wanted to persuade Feng Xiao with his power, but what he didn't expect was that not only did he not convince him in front of Feng Yan, but was impressed by Feng Yan's talent.

At a young age, he showed extraordinary talent, and Cao Cao felt that he was about to fall in love with Feng Xiao.

Absolute true love.

"Mr. Pang is really a genius in the matter." In the end, I saw Cao Cao slap the table heavily: "Such a handsome talent, it is really rare in the world, it is really a rare talent, if Mr. does not dislike it, Cao is willing to treat him as a teacher!" ”

At that moment, Cao Cao stood up and gave Pang Tong a big salute.

Pang Tong hurriedly said: "Why should Gong Cao be like this? The general understands the righteousness and joins forces with General Liu to fight for the country, as long as he can set a major event this time, the general will be a hero of the Han Dynasty in the future, and he will definitely be able to leave a name in history. ”

Cao Cao's special car shook his head and said: "To leave a name in history, it is better to have Mr. alone." ”

Pang Tong and Cao Cao were sloppy: "Gong Cao and General Liu will unite to protect the true life of the Son of Heaven, from now on you and I will be ministers of the same palace, Pang Mou is naturally the junior of Cao Gong's subordinates, how can I say anything?" ”

Cao Cao saw that Pang Tong didn't urinate on his pot, and he didn't get angry.

When the world is talented, how can it be so easy to get? He Cao Cao is not in a hurry for a moment.

"Sir, go down and rest, how about the charter of the alliance, how about Rong Cao and everyone to discuss?"

The matter is not trivial, and Pang Tong naturally will not force Cao Cao to act immediately, and then retire for the time being.

After Pang Tong left, Cao Cao immediately found his confidants and counseled them.

Xun You said: "Ming Gong Mingjian, the matter of uniting with Liu Biao is indeed the best way to fight against the pottery merchants, but with Liu Biao's heart, he just wants to use our army as a screen, but this move is not possible." ”

Cao Cao nodded and said: "I also know Liu Biao's thoughts, but the territory of our army is like this, but it is also difficult to do, and it will be difficult to protect my Central Plains from becoming a place of war in the future." ”

Jia Xu stood up and said: "Liu Biao needs us, we also need Liu Biao, the alliance will be successful, at the moment when each other is not someone who can save their strength, the best way out for our army at the moment is to send troops together and crusade against Xuzhou first." ”
