I, Pang Tong, courtesy name Shiyuan, am from Xiangyang, Jingzhou.
My family is very rich, and we have so much land that we need the help of more than a dozen tenant farmers to cultivate it. My family is very poor, and we couldn't even afford books before the white paper appeared.
I am ugly and can scare other children to tears since I was a child, but I am smart and have a photographic memory!
I have a very powerful clan uncle, Mr. Pang De.
When I was fourteen, I looked at my face in the stream... Actually, I think I look pretty good, but I just lacked care. I would rather save time and go to study with my uncle.
After that, there were ripples in the water, and a big fish that looked like more than ten kilograms jumped hard and floated with its belly exposed in front of me...
Could this be because he is so... handsome?
I was very angry and wanted to grill the big fish and eat it.
However, when I cut open the belly of the fish, I found a bamboo scroll inside. I didn't recognize any of the characters on it, but I could somehow understand it.
Is this fish a gift to me?
So I buried the fish and took the book home. Later...my uncle told me that this is called the Heavenly Book. There are nine volumes of such a powerful book!
Even my uncle couldn't understand this book, but I could, so I knew it was "Book of Heaven Volume 5: Reading".
Before I got the official seal, I learned my own special strategies. For example, when reading, I can use my mind to multi-purpose; for example, I can use imagination to simulate the practical application of the knowledge in the book; for example... when watching some big movies
When you read the manuscripts of sages, you may feel the will of the late sages...
After my uncle found out about it, he said that my strategy was very rare and could avoid "talking about war on paper", so he began to focus on teaching me the art of war. In the past four years, I have read more than ten thousand volumes, half of which are the art of war collected by my uncle!
Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, wanted to appoint me as a county meritorious officer, that is, as an assistant under the prefecture.
It was at this moment that I saw...
"Killing someone is like killing my father!"
Xian made it known that the man in the story was so majestic.
This... is Mr. Bai, right? If Mr. Bai had appeared earlier, maybe I would have read more books. Now many "poor people" who are in a similar situation to my family and don't have a good uncle can also read.
No one knows better than me how useful "books" are. In the future... the world will be very different!
After bidding farewell to my uncle, I came to Yangzhou. Instead of asking my uncle to give me a letter of recommendation, I went directly to the Naxian Hall. After scaring the scribes to tears, their director came out to test me personally.
Looking at my appearance, he seemed reluctant, but he still recommended me to the Ministry of Personnel, and finally I was assigned to work under Zhou Yu.
Mizhouro? Oh, nothing more than that!
I thought Zhou Gongjin would be able to discover my talent, but now it seems that this guy is just looking down on me because he looks better...
A few months have passed, and I haven't been given a chance to show off at all, and...it seems like I still don't want to see me?
Just yesterday, Zhou Yu was promoted to the post of governor of Poyang, and he did not ask me to accompany him, but just asked me to stay in Wan County.
He is obviously a guy with no eyesight. Could it be that Mr. Bai is like him, judging people by their appearance?
If this continues, I may be buried in Wan County... Should I go back to my uncle to ask for a letter of recommendation? It would be a bit embarrassing... Or should I make big news and attract Mr. Bai's attention?
Pang Tong was very confused, but at this moment, Yu Fan, as the Prime Minister of Poyang County, came to Pang Tong in person and informed him that Duke Bai was going to summon him at the General's Mansion. At the same time, Pang Tong's "files" had also been transferred to the General's Mansion.
Before leaving, Pang Tong made a special trip to see Zhou Yu.
"When we meet next time, I will let you know that I am just good-looking!" Pang Tong said to Zhou Yu unconvinced.
"Oh." Zhou Yu.white eyes.jpg.
…
Half a month later, Bai Tu met Pang Tong at the Chariot General's Mansion.
Bai Tu had already started paying attention to Pang Tong right after he reported to the Naxian Hall.
Although it was long before Pang Tong became famous in history, but... the same name, the same surname, the same first name and the same place of origin, this is definitely not a coincidence!
This is the biggest fish that "willing people have taken the bait" since the opening of the Naxian Hall!
However, when Bai Tu saw his name, he found that he had been assigned to Zhou Yu's command. Therefore, while secretly saying "good fate", Bai Tu did not "break up" him and Zhou Yu.
Pang Tong is only seventeen years old this year, and has not been praised by his uncle as "the crown of Nanzhou Scholars", and he has not reported his relationship with Pang Degong. In general... he is just a nobody.
Bai Tu firmly believed that no one was born with talent, so he did not force Pang Tong to come over. He still thought that Pang Tong would go and help Zhou Yu first, and it would be good for him to study.
Historically, Pang Tong first served as a minor official in Xiangyang, then defected to Sun Quan, and finally to Liu Bei, who valued him.
Although Zhou Yu in history failed to discover Pang Tong's potential and even abandoned his official position, but... objectively it was because Zhou Yu died of illness not long after Pang Tong was under Zhou Yu's command and failed to discover his talents.
It’s also excusable.
Bai Tu's previous compliments to Hua Xin and Wang Lang about Zhou Yu's "magnificent temperament" were not nonsense. Whether it was Zhou Yu in history or Bai Tu's current third brother, they were actually very magnanimous, and they were very generous to talents from grassroots backgrounds.
They all have a keen eye for identifying talents and promote them greatly.
Originally, Bai Tu thought that the two of them would get along happily and Pang Tong would not be buried.
As a result, after careful observation, I found that Pang Tong was having a miserable time under Zhou Yu. It was not that Zhou Yu was making things difficult for him... Pang Tong hoped that Zhou Yu would make things difficult for him and give him some opportunities to perform. However, Zhou Yu treated him the same as he treated other ordinary petty officials.
, never handed over any important tasks.
Whether Pang Tong wanted to stir up trouble, attract attention, or want to stand out and make Zhou Yu look at him differently, he had no chance.
This time Zhou Yu didn't even plan to take him to Poyang, but looked like he was going to stay idle in Wan County...
Therefore, Bai Tu stopped being polite and summoned Pang Tong directly.
"Tong, meet the lord!" Pang Tong came in and said to Bai Tu excitedly.
To a certain extent, Bai Tu was his idol, and... Bai Tu personally summoned Pang Tong when he was about to find his uncle through the back door.
Although Pang Tong didn't understand why he was discovered by "Bo Le" when he clearly had no chance to show off...
"Shi Yuan is free of charge, hahaha. When I saw your name in the Naxian Hall before, I noticed it... Your uncle is Mr. Pang De, right?" Bai Tu asked.
In fact, even without asking, Bai Tu was sure that this was definitely the Pang Tong he was familiar with!
Ugly, with very flamboyant features and bright eyes, but they are only as big as a pea. On a rainy day, I am afraid that I will choke on water if I raise my head. My lips look like they have just been chewed by a gorilla. When I open my mouth, I can reveal gaping teeth. A pair of...
The eyebrows that failed to be tattooed are like performing some peerless knife skills...
But... Pang Tong's definition of himself seems to be very problematic. He is meticulous in his dressing up. He is actually wearing a green shirt and his hair style is very elegant. If you look at the back, he can easily be regarded as a handsome man!
Of course, Bai Tu didn't care whether he was ugly or not, he was more concerned about Pang Tong's current abilities... Could it be that he was inspired by his own personality charm before he even finished his studies?
