Zhuge Liang's wife Huang Yueying was born into a large clan in Jingzhou...
No matter how much Liu Bei trusts Zhuge Liang, he will never be able to entrust the Xiangyang foundation to Zhuge Liang for a long time.
Fortunately, Zhuge Liang knew it well and took the initiative to recommend a talented person to Liu Bei - Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan nicknamed Feng Chu!
According to Zhuge Liang's meaning, Pang Tong's ability was definitely not inferior to him. If Liu Bei had his assistance, he would be able to annex Yizhou soon.
At that time, there is no need to worry about his long-term control of Xiangyang.
Liu Bei was overjoyed and asked Pang Tong where Pang Shiyuan is now?
Zhuge Liang didn't know it either, but Pang Tong was the nephew of Pang Degong, a famous scholar in Jingzhou. He just needed to inquire with Pang Degong.
Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this. Through Zhuge Liang and Pang Degong's encounter, he expressed his importance to Pang Tong, hoping to invite Pang Tong to join the Xiangyang County Magistrate's Office.
Unexpectedly, Pang Degong had no choice but to say that Pang Tong was an official in Jiangdong at this time and needed to write a letter to ask about his thoughts.
Liu Bei was not disappointed. After all, it was an existence recognized by Zhuge Liang. It would be abnormal if he stayed at home.
Fortunately, there is no name from Pang Tong among the middle and senior management of Jiangdong. Obviously, this Feng Chu is not doing well in Jiangdong.
This is a sure thing. The Jiangdong family is quite xenophobic. Even top big guys such as Sun Quan and Zhou Yu have been bullied, let alone just Pang Tong.
It is worth asking Pang Degong to deliver the letter on his behalf, expressing Liu Bei's eagerness to seek talents.
Pang Degong obviously knew his nephew's situation in Jiangdong, and he did not agree at once. For a while, the host and the guest had a harmonious atmosphere as soon as possible.
But what they didn't know was that at this time, Pang Tong, Feng Chu, had resigned from his position as the magistrate of Jiangdong County and wandered around the bustling Jiangxia area.
Pang Tong and Zhang Song are similar, because they are not good at appearance, and although they are talented, they are not valued.
Of course, it is stronger than Zhang Song, but it is also very strong.
Unlike Zhang Song, because he was an official in Jiangdong, he often heard news about Jiangxia.
With Pang Shiyuan's talent and insight, how could he not notice the fear of Jiangxia?
This aroused his interest...
It would be fine if the ministers in Jiangdong were afraid of Liu Bei's army in Xiangyang. After all, Liu Bei's name was there, and there were also powerful generals from all over the world like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
But the top leaders of Jiangdong did not argue with Xiangyang, but were even more afraid of Jiangxia on the other side of the Yangtze River, which made people think about it.
Liu Qi, the prefect of Jiangxia, is definitely an unknown existence. Why is it called burning the Red Cliff and defeating the top leaders of the millions of Cao's troops afraid of it?
Pang Tong had a low position in the Jiangdong officialdom and could not integrate into the Jiangdong family circle. Naturally, he didn't know what happened to the old Huang Zhong who cut off the river and scared the Jiangdong Navy with one blow.
But he keenly realized that Jiang Xia must be unusual...
I had this idea in my mind. After Jiangdong felt that there was no future and could not continue to resign, I immediately took a boat to Jiangxia to find out the truth.
Then, Pang Tong was shocked...
Follow the official account: Book Friends Base Camp, follow it and get cash and order coins!
The prosperity of Jiangxia is not just a joke. It definitely reached the level of the Song Dynasty's big city at the peak of its economy in the feudal era, and may even be even better.
Where has he seen such a prosperous atmosphere?
After wandering around Jiangxia for a few days, he could see that Jiangxia's strong Minfeng Army was definitely a beautiful landscape in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
No matter how arrogant Pang Tong was, he would not dare to say that if he had ruled, he would have made Jiang Xia so prosperous and powerful.
Of course, Jiangxia's rise was too short, so there were naturally various shortcomings.
With Pang Tong's eyesight, it is not difficult to see, and there is even a solution.
So he began to visit Liu Qi, the lord of Jiangxia.
I always feel that Jiangxia is too prosperous, and Jiangxia has such good conditions, but she has no idea of expanding at all, which is even more abnormal.
According to Pang Tong's idea, Liu Qi, the leader of Jiangxia, had enough power as the Liu clan, and should try every means to unify the chaotic world and revive the Han Dynasty again.
As a result, what he felt in Jiangxia was only comfort and relaxation, and not much of an atmosphere of progress.
"Pang Shiyuan, Pang Tong of Xiangyang, want to meet someone?"
On this day, Liu Qi happened to be in Jiangxia's prefect's house, and he had to practice well, so he did not have the idea of being addicted to it.
Unexpectedly, I actually heard a famous person from the Three Kingdoms asking for a meeting, which was really interesting.
"Let him wait in the living room!"
Since he came to the house with the initiative, Liu Qi naturally had no pretentious thoughts. When the matter at hand was handled properly, he got up and walked to the living room.
"I've seen Liu Jiangxia!"
Seeing Liu Qi with a majestic appearance, a strange look flashed in Pang Tong's eyes, and he stood up slowly and bowed to him.
"You're welcome!"
Liu Qi has a gentle attitude, but gives people a feeling that it is not far or near. Lei Ran smiled and said, "I don't know what happened to Mr. Suddenly visit?"
The two had no friendship, and Liu Qi was too lazy to greet anything, so he asked straight to the point without any delay.
"Liu Jiangxia is so refreshing!"
Unexpectedly, his attitude was in line with Pang Tong's wishes and he chuckled: "I have been wandering in Jiangxia in the past few days!"
"The prosperity of Jiangxia made Pang amazed, but one thing is that he couldn't figure it out. Please help Liu Jiangxia solve the problem!"
"If you have any ideas, just say it out loud!"
"Jiangxia is so prosperous, I think the military strength is definitely not weak. I wonder why Liu Jiangxia has no ambition to sweep the world?"
"Sir, I know so well, I don't have the ambition to sweep the world?"
Pang Tong smiled but didn't say anything. Is this an obvious thing?
Liu Qi laughed silently. The top advisers of this era are not good. They always bother with these things, as if they don’t have any opportunities to cooperate without their ideas.
If Pang Tong really has no intention or ideas, would he come to pay a visit?
I just want to sell my ideas and tell Liu Qi, the lord of Jiangxia, early on that he has aspirations and ambitions. If he joins Jiangxia, he must respect his opinions and ideas.
Who hasn't had the idea of idealism?
But everyone's pursuits are different from their goals.
"Sir, you should be from an extraordinary background, I'm afraid you are a child of the Jingzhou world?"
Liu Qi did not rush to answer, but instead began to inquire about Pang Tong's origin.
"Yes, a certain uncle is Mr. Pang De!"
Pang Tong was not pretentious and directly explained his origin.
Although the Jingzhou Bang family is not very prominent, Pang Degong has a great reputation, comparable to the top scholars like Zheng Xuan.
As Pang Degong's nephew, Pang Tong naturally benefited a lot, and there was no need to deny anything at all. This is the fact.
"Then the gentleman should have some understanding of the hidden power of the aristocratic family!"
Liu Qi spoke calmly and asked back: "Sir, you should know Jiang Xia's policies, and it is not uncommon to the aristocratic families!"
Pang Tong nodded subconsciously, not understanding what Liu Qi said about this?
Liu Qi smiled lightly and asked Youran: "If someone has the ability and signs to unify the world, what will the sir think the aristocratic families in the world will react?"
What reaction can you do?
Pang Tong subconsciously followed Liu Qi's words and at most he ignored him, and more likely he turned against Liu Qi directly.
Thinking of this, his face turned pale. He knew the power of the aristocratic families best, and a bad situation that was overturned.
"Can you imagine that if it is a certain policy and intention to hinder or even harm the interests of the aristocratic families, will they be anxious to jump over the wall?"
Liu Qi continued to ask: "Use some secret means to directly make this person who is ignorant of the world die or die of illness?"
this……
Pang Tong's forehead was sweating, no longer as calm as before. He was asked for a moment and didn't know what to say.
With his understanding of the aristocratic families, once Liu Qi takes the initiative to violate their interests, it will definitely cause their fierce counterattack.
The power of the aristocratic families is not just a joke. Some families have a long history. Who knows if there are any terrifying means from ancient times?
As far as Pang Tong knows, there are some pretty insulting means that can quietly kill people.
Thinking of this, I suddenly realized that I glanced at Liu Qi and didn't know what to say. My fault was because I didn't move.
"Is it possible that Liu Jiangxia can't live in peace with the aristocratic families?"
Pang Tong said a little puzzled: "I believe that the aristocratic families do not want to live a life of war, so this can be guaranteed!"
"They are too greedy and want too much!"
Liu Qi said calmly: "I don't want to be a puppet. My brothers and people still have the interests of the people, so how can I guarantee it?"
this……
Pang Tong couldn't speak again, and everyone knew the truth, but it was difficult to solve it. One bad thing was the end of the world's chaos when he died.
"So, to avoid unnecessary trouble!"
Liu Qi smiled strangely and said leisurely: "I plan to take it step by step, expand my power and territory bit by bit, and focus on being able to completely control the new territory!"
"Anyway, isn't it a bit slower?"
Pang Tong followed the topic and said directly: "Maybe, Jiang Xiajun's tentacles have not been extended for too long, and the world will be unified again!"
"Then I will take my subordinates and people who are willing to follow to develop in the outer world!"
Liu Qi smiled and said, "With the knowledge of Mr. I don't think that the foreign land is a barren land, right? In short, although the Han Dynasty is in a good place, if you are uncomfortable living there, there is no need to force yourself. What do you think?"
Pang Tong laughed silently, thinking that Liu Qi, the Lord of Jiangxia, was very interesting, and even had the idea of retreating outside the domain.
But I have to say that I was very relaxed when talking to Liu Qi, but the haze in my heart disappeared without a trace.
Liu Qi was also the first prince he had ever seen. He was definitely open-minded enough to dare to reveal his thoughts to outsiders.
If you are afraid of death in your heart, you are afraid of death, and there is nothing to hide.
Thinking of this, Pang Tong couldn't help but twitch, as if he said, "Is it possible that Liu Jiangxia is worried about the revenge of the aristocratic families, so he will not plan to develop into the heartland of the Central Plains in the future? This is not a good thing!"
"Of course not. Didn't you realize that someone is also a senior practitioner?"
