The next day, Lu Su took Pang Tong and Zhuge Jin to visit Sun Jian.
Along the way, the soldiers who saw Lu Su and the others had different expressions, because Pang Tong's face was so weird.
Although Zhuge Jin has a donkey-like face, he is neatly dressed and has a serious expression, which gives people a very majestic feeling and awe. But Pang Tong is different. His clothes are very ordinary and he is very accompanying. In this country that pays attention to appearance.
In this era, a person's appearance is a very important part.
It is precisely because of this that Pang Tong is a little arrogant and stands out from the rest.
While they were still on the road, Lu Su said: "Shi Yuan, Ziyu, my lord has a strong character. When you go to see my lord, you should restrain your temperament, follow my lord's ideas, and don't go against my lord!"
Zhuge Jin nodded and kept it firmly in his heart.
Pang Tong rolled his eyes, and the expression on his face changed slightly.
The three of them got off the carriage outside the palace, and after being reported by the soldiers, they entered the palace under the leadership of the chamberlain.
In the side hall, Sun Jian was waiting for Lu Su and others to arrive early.
Sun Jian knew the importance of talents, so he immediately came to meet the three people after receiving the news.
After Lu Su walked in, he bowed respectfully to Sun Jian.
Sun Jian hummed, and then motioned for Lu Su to sit down.
Zhuge Jin stood behind Lu Su, bowed to Sun Jian in a very polite and polite manner, and then said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone: "Zhuge Jin, a common man, pays homage to the King of Wu."
At the same time, Pang Tong bowed slightly, saluted and said: "Pang Tong, a man who is idle in the mountains, has met the King of Wu."
Their movements and tone of voice were completely different.
When Sun Jian saw Pang Tong's expression and appearance, he immediately felt unhappy.
A monarch can listen to loyal advice, but he definitely doesn't like people who are arrogant and arrogant. In addition, Sun Jian is a person who thinks very highly of himself. If you are polite to him, he will be polite to you. But you
You're welcome, so he didn't follow the rules. However, Sun Jian still patiently waved his hand and said: "Two gentlemen, please sit down!"
As soon as the two of them sat down under Lu Su, a chamberlain hurriedly ran in and said, "Your Majesty, the eldest son and the second son are here and are asking for an audience outside the palace."
So far, Sun Jian has not established a son.
This also created a situation where Sun Ce and Sun Quan stood side by side.
Sun Ce was mighty and brave, resolute and decisive, and had repeatedly made military exploits. He had a high prestige in the army and was much more powerful than Sun Quan. But among officials, Sun Quan was undoubtedly a person who was good at dancing and could make officials like him more.
As for Sun Jian's other sons, they are far inferior to Sun Ce and Sun Quan.
When Sun Jian heard that his two sons were coming, he waved his sleeves and said, "Let them in!"
When Zhuge Jin heard this, he sat upright and cheered up. Because one of the two people who came in must be his future master, and there was also a current master in front of him, so he had to treat him even more carefully.
Pang Tong frowned slightly. Now it was Sun Jian who was meeting them. What was Sun Jian's son doing here?
Is it just watching monkeys playing?
In fact, this was a very simple thing, but Pang Tong had a strange idea.
Not long after, Sun Ce and Sun Quan walked in one after another.
Sun Quan followed Sun Ce. When he saw Zhuge Jin and Pang Tong, his eyes stayed on Pang Tong, and then he whispered to Sun Ce: "Brother, look at the man sitting at the end, he looks as strange as me."
According to historical records, Sun Quan had blue eyes and purple beard, which was obviously different from other people.
But Sun Quan is not ugly, on the contrary, he is very handsome, but his eyes are different.
After he saw Pang Tong's face, he said that it was just as "strange" as him. He was just joking and did not mean to look down on Pang Tong. After all, Pang Tong was found by Lu Su, and Lu Su was from Sun Quan's camp. Of course, Sun Quan had preconceived ideas.
Pang is talented, otherwise he would not be favored by Lu Su.
But he spoke softly, but the palace was silent, and Pang Tong still heard him.
These words immediately stimulated Pang Tong's sensitive heart.
Suddenly, Pang Tong no longer liked Sun Quan.
Sun Ce and Sun Quan bowed to Sun Jian, then sat down in the palace and quietly watched.
Sun Jian looked at Zhuge Jin and asked: "Mr. Zhuge, in today's world, princes stand side by side. The king chooses his ministers, and the ministers also choose their king. It is an honor for you to come and join me. But I have nothing for you."
I know, I wonder if you, sir, are good at handling political affairs? Or are you good at marching and forming formations?"
Sun Jian first welcomed Zhuge Jin's arrival and then began to ask Zhuge Jin.
Zhuge Jin stood up, bowed to Sun Jian, and said unhurriedly: "To the King of Wu, I don't know much. I am good at political affairs and have a rough understanding of military affairs. My lifelong wish is to help the country and make the people peaceful.
Make the world peaceful."
When Sun Jian heard this, he stroked his beard with satisfaction and was very satisfied with Zhuge Jin's answer.
Ambitious, yet humble and polite.
Sun Jian's first impression of Zhuge Jin was very good, and he thought Zhuge Jin was okay. However, Zhuge Jin's specific talents had to be tested in his daily work.
Sun Ce and Sun Quan looked at Zhuge Jin and thought it was pretty good.
Lu Su observed the words and expressions, and when he saw Sun Jian, Sun Quan and Sun Ce were all satisfied, he breathed a sigh of relief.
At least one passed.
But it was hard for him to say what happened to Pang Tong next, because Lu Su knew that Pang Tong had a very aloof temper.
Sun Jian's eyes turned and fell on Pang Tong, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Pang, what have you studied in your life have been mainly political affairs? Or military affairs?"
Pang Tong stood up and said very proudly: "I have learned a lot in my life. In a nutshell, I know astronomy at the top and geography at the bottom. I can govern a country and lead an army. I know everything."
"Pfft!"
Sun Quan couldn't help but smile, and immediately asked: "Mr. Pang, you are weak, can you lead an army?"
Pang Tong raised his eyebrows and said, "Master Quan, don't you hear that Han Xin will have more troops, the better?"
With one sentence, Sun Quan was blocked back.
When Lu Su saw that Pang Tong's aloof temper was acting up again, he secretly complained in his heart.
Pang Tong was aloof and arrogant, and Sun Jian, Sun Ce and Sun Quan all had arrogance in their hearts, and Pang Tong's appearance was not good enough. Now Pang Tong acted like an omniscient and omnipotent magic stick, which made Sun Jian even more unhappy.
Sun Ce and Sun Quan probably both despised Pang Tong.
Sun Ce frowned slightly and asked: "Mr. Pang, my sworn brother Zhou Yu is handsome and talented. He knows all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as all military and political strategies. How do you think he compares with him?"
After finishing speaking, Sun Ce stared at Pang Tong closely.
Pang Tongtong shook his sleeves and said loudly: "What I have learned is the art of supporting the monarch of the country."
At this point, it stopped abruptly.
Sun Ce seemed to have eaten a fly and it was stuck in his throat. Moreover, he seemed to be mocking Zhou Yu when he listened to Pang Tong's words, which made Sun Ce's impression of Pang Tong even worse. If Pang Tong acted well, he would be slightly inferior to Zhou Yu.
Or maybe I haven’t compared and don’t know, it can be regarded as giving Sun Ce face.
However, it seems that Zhou Yu's talents are not as good as Pang Tong's.
Zhou Yu had a very high status in the hearts of Sun Jian and his son.
Pang Tong's words made Sun Jian and his son feel that Pang Tong was not very talented, but he had a sharp tongue and was very useful when he was embarrassed.
Although Sun Jian was unhappy, he still did not get angry and said with a smile: "Two gentlemen, please go back and rest for the time being. I will think about it before I decide what position to give them."
Upon hearing this, Lu Su immediately left with Zhuge Jin and Pang Tong.
Only Sun Jian and his son were left in the palace.
The three of them gathered together and talked about Pang Tong and Zhuge Jin.
After Lu Su took Zhuge Jin and Pang Tong back to the house, Pang Tong raised his hands and said, "Brother Ziyu, congratulations. Judging from Sun Jian's attitude towards you, he must be ready to reuse you. As for Pang, it's better to leave! It's better to leave!"
"
Lu Su said helplessly: "Shi Yuan, I told you to obey the Lord, why did you...?"
He sighed repeatedly, feeling a little disappointed.
Pang Tong shook his head.
After finishing speaking, Pang Tong went to pack his bags and set off on his journey again.
Zhuge Jin and Lu Su looked at Pang Tong's back and sighed.
