Wang Xu listened to it for a long time, but he didn't hear the substantive strategy, he couldn't help it, he wanted to know what good opinions Pang Tong had now.

"So what to do?"

"Look, General!" Pang Tong looked at the sketch drawn on the ground. "Now that the general is in the land of Jing, Yi, and Yongzhou, and his strength is strong, why not enter Jiaozhou?"

"Jiaozhou?"

"Yes, Jiaozhou!" Pang Tong was calm and unhurried, and said with certainty: "Outside Jiaozhou is a wild land, not like there are strong foreign races condensed in the north, if you occupy Jiaozhou, then only in the face of some insignificant local ethnic groups, at most there will be sporadic rebellions, but it can't hurt the general's roots, so that the general's rear will be completely stable!" Moreover, Jiaozhou's strength is weak, and if the general wants to take it now, he only needs to send two or three generals and eighty or ninety thousand soldiers, and he can easily obtain it. ”

"Makes sense, but then what?" Wang Xu frowned and asked.

"After that......" Pang Tong stretched out one foot and drew a circle on the ground sketch: "Jiangdong!" Must take Koto! ”

"Take Koto? Jiangdong is strong, if it competes with it, I am afraid that Cao Cao will take the opportunity to go south! Wang Xu exclaimed.

Pang Tong shook his head and retorted: "Now that Cao Cao has not completely taken Hebei, he can't go south with all his strength for the time being, and the general will contain the dangerous places, which is completely enough to resist, and after Cao Cao captures Hebei, he must do two things before it is possible to really move his army south." ”

"What two things?"

"One is to pacify the tribes outside the Saiwai and not to defeat them completely and sincerely, he does not dare to wave his army south without authorization. The second is stable dìng inside, he has been in the army since he started. He has never been able to carry out a comprehensive rectification of the territory, and when he takes Hebei, there are countless problems of all kinds, if he does not have three or four years, how can he stabilize and go out on his own expedition, and the rear will inevitably continue to rebel. ”

"That's right!"

Wang Xu suddenly realized, and then remembered that in history, after Cao Cao unified the north, he also conquered all ethnic groups outside the Saiwai first. Kill the stubborn. Support the weaker people to rule, force them to submit completely, and then rectify the internal affairs and stabilize all parties. Until years later. Only then did they form a large army and go south to take Jingzhou. Thus there was the Battle of Chibi.

Pang Tong didn't know what he was thinking, and when he saw his happy face, he quickly continued: "That's it." Although the general's situation will be more difficult for the time being, but it can avoid future troubles, the Sun family is obviously weaker, and should be eliminated as soon as possible, and fight Cao Cao with him, although Cao Cao will be beaten down, but it will make it strong, isn't it a wolf to drive the tiger, the tiger died, but the wolf developed into a pack. ”

"Moreover, after the general defeated Sun Jian, he could completely abandon the land of Huainan, give up the two counties of Jiujiang and Lujiang in the north of Yangzhou, and retreat to the Yangtze River to defend it. At that time, the rear was worry-free, as long as the troops went out of Nanyang, Jingzhou, and attacked the Central Plains, they would be able to achieve hegemony! ”

After listening to his proposal, Wang Xu was overjoyed, and without thinking too much, he decided to implement this policy.

"Shi Yuan, I am fortunate to be reminded today to be able to lift the catastrophe of annihilation!"

"The general's words are serious, and the general's strategy may not fail, but it is easier to become a situation and more dangerous. Although the contemptible strategy is stable, it is even more difficult to achieve the general trend in comparison! Pang Tong said very rationally.

"Tactics can be risky, but the strategy is safe, Shiyuan's mention is very good!"

Wang Xu has now made up his mind, comparing the two strategies, he would rather choose the latter, if it is the early stage of the army, he can gamble, but in the later stage, it is not beneficial to gamble too much, the things on his shoulders are too heavy, and there is a slight difference, not just one person, but the entire Jingzhou, all of them are in a situation of no return.

At this time, he didn't want to argue more about this matter, since he had fully confirmed Pang Tong's ability, he couldn't stop the excitement in his heart, and said urgently: "Shiyuan, Your Excellency is a great talent, it would be a pity if it was buried, and now it is the time to employ people, but I am willing to go out of the mountain to help and create a great cause together!" ”

"Hahaha......" Pang Tong laughed, and then said: "The general doesn't know, contemptible people travel the world, see all sides with their own eyes, feel that Cao Cao is suspicious and treacherous, not easy to get along with, Sun Jian is too upright and unyielding, it is difficult to achieve great things, only the general is the most thoughtful, and both of them think I am ugly, quite disgusted, this time I returned to Jingzhou, I have decided to serve the general, before just to show my talent in front of the general!" ”

"That's great!" Wang Xu was very excited. "Shiyuan, in the future, I will calm the world, but I still have to rely on you to make more suggestions!"

"My lord! Your subordinates will do their best! Pang Tong smiled and changed his name, and then explained: "It's just that today's disrespect is because I suddenly heard that the lord came here to win the lord's attention and show his talents, so I want to do it, and I hope the lord will forgive me!" ”

"Eh, what did Shiyuan say? What is disrespectful today, but today is for you. ”

"The lord is here for his subordinates?" Pang Tong was stunned.

"Is there any joke? I have long heard of Shi Yuan's name, and I ordered people to investigate in many ways but to no avail, today a subordinate told Shi Yuan to return, and specially asked Brother Ling to introduce him on his behalf! ”

Pang Tong was so astute that he instantly exclaimed: "Those people who follow me from time to time, but they don't seem to have malicious intent, are they sent by the general?" ”

"Alas!" Wang Xu sighed, his face full of bitterness: "In order to meet Shiyuan, but I have traveled through mountains and rivers, and I have worked hard!" After so many years, it's easy for me to find! ”

Knowing the cause and effect, Pang Tong was instantly moved, who in this world wants to work so hard for a person who has not yet been out of office and has not shown his talent? I'm afraid it's just this one, not to mention that he has an ugly face, and many people don't think much of him, how can he not be moved by being treated like this?

"Pang Tong is willing to be the general in this life, and he will never complain!"

"Hahaha......" Wang Xu smiled and grabbed Pang Tong's arm, and said enthusiastically: "You and I won't say that, go, follow me back to the General's Mansion, I will definitely have a drink with you today!" ”

"Slow down!"

"But there's still family to deal with?" Wang Xu wondered.

"It's not a family matter, it's a business matter!" Pang Tong smiled, looked at Wang Xu, who treated him well, and paused for a moment before resolutely answering: "Lord! I don't hide it, I have happened to know two great talents, and I hope to recommend them to the lord, one of whom is talented and above me, and the other is not as good as him, but he is smart and witty, erudite and talented, and he will also be a pillar in the future! These two people are now little known, and they have not yet become famous, if they get these two people, it will be easy to dominate! ”

"Oh? I don't know who can be so praised by Shiyuan! Wang Xuqi said.

"These two people, one is named Zhuge Liang! The second is called Lu Xun! Pang Tong said the names of the two lightly, and said with certainty: "Zhuge Liang, the word Kong Ming, is the talent of Wang Zuo, and he can settle the world, although his personality is more conservative, but he has the ability to pass through the heavens and the earth." ”

"Shhh...... Zhuge Liang? Wang Xu's breathing stopped instantly, he blinked in amazement, and his mouth opened unnaturally.

"Exactly!" Pang Tong was afraid that he would not believe it, so he immediately continued: "Kong Ming is a native of Langya, Xuzhou, Zhuge family is a Lang evil wang clan, a generation of eunuchs, his father Zhuge Gui was Taishan County Cheng in his early years, and then resigned and returned home, Kong Ming lost his mother at the age of three, and lost his father at the age of eight, and then followed his uncle Zhuge Xuan with his aunt and sisters and brothers, and went south to Lujiang to avoid trouble. Zhuge Xuan and Yuan Shu have an old relationship, when Yuan Shu got Huainan, he recruited him to serve under the account, and wanted to recommend him as Yuzhang Taishou, but at that time Yuzhang was occupied by the lord, and it was difficult to make it. ”

"Shortly thereafter, Zhuge Xuan saw Yuan Shu arrogant and lascivious, trying to be called the emperor, expected that he would suffer a catastrophe, so he resigned and left, he wanted to go to his old friend Liu Biao, but at that time Liu Biao was in a difficult situation, the lord was in Jingzhou, so Zhuge family hid in the vicinity of Wu County to live in seclusion, belonged to the north, when returning from Jiangdong, accidentally passed in front of its door, heard someone chanting poetry, and was extraordinary, so he came to visit, so he got to know, and then talked deeply with him, only to know that he had the talent of the heavens and latitudes, and since then he has become friends, and also learned that he has been wandering and dislodging."

After listening to the cause and effect, Wang Xu couldn't care about emotion, and asked urgently: "This person is still in Wu County?" ”

Pang Tong smiled and said: "No, the subordinates saw that their family was many and poor, except for many books that were precious, and there was no money to spare, so they invited the Zhuge family to come to Jingzhou, saying that Jingzhou was rich and stable, outstanding people, and many famous scholars and Confucians lived in seclusion here, and the academies were all over the place, which was a good place to live in seclusion, which made Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Jun and other brothers moved!" ”

In the next few days, Zhuge Xuan heard his subordinates say that the Xiangyang General's Mansion had a lot of help for foreign migrants, and they could come to the rich fertile and fertile fields, or get other proper resettlements, and heard that his old friend Liu Biao was also doing well in Jingzhou, so he finally settled down and moved over. They traveled with me and returned, and now they settle down in Liqiu, a few dozen miles southeast of Xiangyang, where they have a small farm for their temporary stay. ”

Speaking of this, Pang Tong suddenly felt a little embarrassed, but he still said bluntly: "Originally, as a relocated household, they should choose a good place to settle down and settle in the household, but the subordinates feel that since they persuaded other people's families, they should do their best, so they want to go back to Xiangyang first to inquire and see where they can get more fertile and fertile land according to the current decree." However, the subordinates have no intention of bribery and fraud, they just want to help choose a good place for personal excellence as much as possible. It's just that I didn't expect that just after coming to the Pang family's mansion, the lord came to find it. ”

This is really "intentionally planting flowers and flowers do not bloom, and unintentionally planting willows and willows", I didn't expect to hear Zhuge Liang's news like this, Wang Xu listened quietly, without saying a word, until Pang Tong finished speaking, he suddenly pulled his arm and left.

"My lord! ...... are you" Pang Tong was shocked and shouted: "Lord, his subordinates really don't have the heart to bribe and cheat!" ”

"I know you don't, with your incorruptibility and nobility, how can you do such a thing!" Wang Xu smiled stunned, and then replied: "I just pulled you to see Zhuge Kongming, and I will talk about the distribution of land for the Zhuge family later, my wife also bought several mansions in the city, and sent two to the Zhuge family to settle, by the way, I will also give you one, and I will personally take you to choose the next day." ”

"Ahh Pang Tong was stunned at first, and then reacted: "No merit is not successful, how can this be made!" ”

"Those mansions were bought by my wife to earn money from the large workshop, not the general's treasury, so they are not a gift, but a gift from me as a friend!"

Pang Tong immediately shook his head: "It's all owned by the lord, isn't it the same!" ”
