Pang Tong nodded and said: "That's right, but whether the princes can work together is still unknown, as long as the hearts of the people are not aligned, even if they occupy the dangerous pass, it will be difficult to achieve great things." ”

What Pang Tong said is also reasonable, after all, if you can become a prince, you will not be willing to obey the orders of others, unless it endangers your own interests.

But with such a simple truth, Zhuge Liang, a capable person, would not have thought that the answer would definitely be no.

Zhuge Liang replied: "But at that time, I'm afraid that some people with low ability have been cleared out of the chess game, and there are only a few people left." ”

Pang Tong's eyebrows jumped slightly, and he asked slowly: "Then according to your wishes, what will be the trend in a few years?" ”

Zhuge Liang closed his eyes and pondered for a while and said: "Cao Cao occupies Sanfu and other places, and Yangzhou Sun Ce rules across the river, as for this Yizhou and Jingzhou, who belongs to it, it is unknown for the time being." ”

This unknown, Pang Tong knew very well in his heart, either it was occupied by Li Huiyi or Liu Bei.

If it is occupied by Liu Bei, then an alliance of Cao, Liu and Sun will be formed to jointly resist Li Huiyi, and then a four-legged stand will be formed, and the world will continue to fight.

Pang Tong's face showed solemnity, and after thinking for a long time, he still decided not to talk about this matter and let time prove his speculation.

Pang Tong took a drink alone and said, "Brother today came to you to ask you for help." ”

"Oh?" Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Liang come and guess, is it about Cai Mao?" ”

Pang Tong smiled and shook his head and said: "I really can't hide anything from you, this trip is for Cai Mao, and I want you to offer him a few strategies at a critical moment." ”

Zhuge Liang quipped: "Brother Shiyuan is not afraid, Liang took refuge in Liu Bei and led Cai Mao to death?" ”

Pang Tong didn't care and said: "As long as you agree, my brother believes in your character." ”

Zhuge Liang said helplessly: "There is really no way, then you say, do you want to agree?" ”

"Hahaha." As soon as these words came out, Pang Tong laughed a few times and said: "You, you just like to be dumb, my brother will leave Nanyang soon, and Cai Mao will send someone to come, and I hope to give him some advice." ”

Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "Okay, you have spoken, if you don't agree, Liang will not become a sinner." ”

"Hahaha!" Pang Tong smiled even more happily, raised his glass to each other, and the two began to talk, as if they had just argued about the situation and it didn't happen.

However, Pang Tong knew in his heart that if he had just had a duel with Zhuge Liang, then he would have been defeated.

Because Huang Yueying was not at home, the two men inevitably drank too much, and Pang Tong did not go back that day, so he chose to stay.

Returning to Xinye City, Liu Bei came back safely, and the first thing he did was to ask Chen Deng about Sima Hui.

Knowing that Sima Hui was famous in Jingzhou, Liu Bei was fanatical in his heart, and under the famous teacher, presumably Zhuge Liang must also be a capable person.

In order to avoid accidents and let Zhuge Liang switch to others, Liu Bei immediately wrote a letter and asked Chen to hurry up and send it to Wollongong to ask him to go out of the mountain.

Chen Zhi took the letter, Liu Bei was relieved, explained in a thousand words, and asked to invite someone politely.

Seeing that Liu Bei attached so much importance to it, Chen Zhi also knew in his heart that this person was not simple, and he didn't dare to be hairy at all, so he set off in a hurry.

When he came to Wollongong, Chen inquired and learned about Zhuge Liang's residence, prepared some small gifts, and immediately rushed there.

The spring flowers are blooming, and the scenery along the way is very beautiful, but Chen has no intention of appreciating it at all, and goes straight to the goal.

When he came to the destination, he saw a young man waving farm tools and turning over the soil, and immediately shouted respectfully: "Chen is under the command of Liu Bei and Uncle Liu Huang, and I want to see Mr. Zhuge Kongming, and I hope to report it." ”

The young man who was wielding the farm tool stopped and glanced at Chen Dao, and continued to wave it rhythmically. "Mr. Zhuge is not at home, you can go back."

Seeing that the young man was so unreasonable, Chen Zhi felt a trace of anger in his heart, but he still suppressed the bottom of his heart. "Little brother, may I ask, when will Mr. Zhuge come back?"

The young man replied without raising his head: "This is not clear, it will be as little as ten days and a half months, or as much as a year and a half, you better go back." ”

"Huh?" Chen Zhi showed a trace of anger on his face, and continued to ask: "Where did Mr. Zhuge go, but the little brother knows it?" ”

The young man replied impatiently: "The whereabouts of the gentleman are uncertain, and I don't know if I am below, you don't have to ask, there are still many things to be done below." ”

If an ordinary person dared to speak so rudely, Chen Zhi would definitely come forward to teach him a good lesson, but Liu Bei told him a lot about this matter, so he had to swallow his anger.

Chen Zhi took out Liu Bei's handwritten letter and said politely: "In this case, there is a letter from the emperor's uncle, and I also ask the little brother to help hand it over to Mr. when he comes back." ”

The young man reluctantly put down his farm tools, went to the fence, took the letter, and said, "This makes people do things, and it is not good at all." ”

Hearing the young man's words, Chen Zhi's face was slightly red, and his breath sped up a little, obviously he endured it to the extreme, but after a while, he still endured it.

Chen Zhi took out a hundred coins from his arms, handed them to the young man, and said coldly: "This is always okay, I hope the letter can reach Mr. Zhuge in his hands." ”

The young man weighed the money in his hand, looked at the gift that Chen Zhi was putting on the side, and said, "Keep that one together, and I'll hand it over for you later." ”

The gift is for Zhuge Liang, it is a heart, and now the young man opened his mouth to ask for it, so that Chen Zhi could no longer bear it.

"Arrogant child, don't want to get an inch, believe it or not, Chen Moujian understands your life."

Suddenly, the young man was startled, jumped to the side and said: "If you don't succeed, why bother adding swords, what kind of bullshit Uncle Huang is definitely not a good person, and this letter can't be sent." ”

After the boy finished speaking, he threw the letter out of the fence, put the money in his hand, put it in his pocket, and continued to wave the farm tools, turning over the dirt, and drying Chen aside.

When Chen saw this, his hands trembled angrily, and he wanted to kick open the fence, but his mind suddenly remembered Liu Bei's explanation, which made his anger extinguish a lot.

If the confession is not completed this time, I am afraid that it will be difficult to explain it when I go back, Chen Zhi thought quickly in his mind, and finally chose to tolerate it.

Picking up the letter and mentioning the gift, Chen Zhi said with a gloomy face: "Come, just give it to you, if you know, the letter has not reached Mr. Zhuge in the hands, I will not let you go." ”

Hearing this, the young man smiled with a smile, and hurriedly stepped forward to take it and said: "It's easy to say, you can rest assured, if you can't trust Mr., you take the villain's head." ”

Seeing that the young man looked like he was looking at money as his life, Chen Zhi was very contemptuous on his face, and at the same time, in his heart, his perception of Zhuge Liang also became extremely bad.

If a subordinate is still like this, then the master will definitely not be much better, and when he goes back from this trip, he must explain to the lord, so as not to be deceived by others.

Thinking of this, Chen Zhi didn't want to stay longer for a moment, glanced at the next person, and turned to leave.
