"Eight thousand gold? Sir, what do you mean?!" Liu Bei's eyes lit up when he heard eight thousand gold, eight thousand gold was for Zhang Xiu! It was originally negotiated. After giving Zhang Xiu four thousand gold, he said that the gold sent to Zhang Xiu was robbed by Lu Bu's army halfway. This made Zhang Xiu and Lu Bu go to war. Eight thousand gold. Liu Bei has been around for so many years. He naturally knows that the more he pays, the higher the return. He is not puzzled or even reluctant by the number of eight thousand. Liu Bei has lost too many things. , Compared with the whole Xuzhou, what is the eight thousand gold. .
"Now is not the best time! What we need is to stab Lu Bu's chest with Zhang Xiu's knife, and now we need Zhang Xiu to turn into a shield to block us and stop Lu Bu's counterattack for us. Only at that time, the lord can truly occupy the Central Plains!" Pang Tong said to Liu Bei, Pang Tong has lost his feather fan now, after being woken up by Liu Bei, Pang Tong insisted on his own style more and more, instead of blindly to imitate Zhuge Liang.
"It's not the timing, it's not the timing, when is the timing!" Sun Gan changed his tone again, he can't blame Sun Gan, he is a good counselor, he has been praised by Liu Bei everywhere until now he can only be regarded as the top It is a faintly visible character, no one can forget it, but some people endure it, while others can't help it.
"Huh?!" Liu Bei frowned, and he could hear the dissatisfaction in Sun Qian's words, but Liu Bei didn't stop Sun Qian immediately. After all, Sun Qian was considered an old man. After arriving in Xuzhou, all the grasshoppers were gone, and only Sun Qian and Jian Yong stayed by Liu Bei's side. It would be a lie for Liu Bei to say that he was not moved.
Sun Gan is not without talent, he was once recommended by the great Confucian Zheng Xuan, if he had no talent, he would not have been favored by Zheng Xuan, but Sun Gan is at best a second-rate counselor and this person can be said to be similar to Yang Hong, good at Diplomacy, in terms of strategy, is simply inferior to Guo Jia, Chen Gong, and Jia Xu's top advisors, so every time Sun Gan thinks up something, people can see it, and the tricks he set up can be solved one by one. But Liu Bei still attaches great importance to Sun Qian as always, that is because Liu Bei has no better counselor than Sun Qian, but now there is an extra phoenix chick.
As soon as Feng Chu arrived, he took over the position of military adviser. To put it mildly, a military adviser is in charge of the army's logistics, just like a staff officer in a modern war. To put it a bit bigger, for a prince like Liu Bei, a military adviser can be said to be an internal affairs officer. In addition to Liu Bei, Pang Tong is the biggest. Liu Bei is not easy to speak out, but he hopes that Sun Qian will stop here.
But Sun Qian didn't seem to see Liu Paopao's eyes, and he was still talking too much, "Military division, this is already eight thousand gold, my army can't help spending it like this even if it has a deep foundation! You must know that seven thousand gold has already been given away. Adding the current 8,000 gold, it will be 15,000, enough to support tens of thousands of troops!"
"There is no need for Taishou Sun to think about this! As the saying goes, if you are not in his position, you will not seek his own government, and Taishou Sun will not know it!" ? Normally, Pang Tong would call Brother Gongyou, but now he calls Taishou Sun. It's just a prefect of one party, and it's nothing compared to his position as a military adviser. It's enough for a prefect of one party to manage your own subordinates. Naturally, someone will come to help with these important military affairs.
"You!" Sun Qian was directly poked at the vital point by Pang Tong. It was him. He was no longer Liu Beijun's military adviser, but a small prefect. The position of military adviser has been dismissed. These moral policies are not what Sun Gan should* It's a matter of heart, he just needs to be his Runan prefect, that's what he said, and the reason is the same, but Sun Gan just can't swallow this breath, why did he lose his position as a military adviser? Wasn't it because of Pang Tong's arrival? It was because of him that Sun Gan put down his position as a military adviser and became the prefect of a county instead. If it was just before, Sun Qian might not have such a big complaint. It is also a big honor, you haven't seen Jiangdong's Sun Bofu, he is only a Kuaiji prefect! Even Zheng Xuan's evaluation of Sun Qian is that he is an expert in governing the county, who can protect the law and order of one side and benefit the people of one side.
But Sun Qian came down from a high position. If you demote a person in a high position, it is really uncomfortable. You are telling others that this Sun Qian is not good, this Sun Qian No ability, and some people even speculated whether Liu Bei had an opinion on Sun Qian, which made Sun Qian pulled down from the position of military adviser. Although Liu Bei's subordinates didn't dare to say these words bluntly, the pointing in their eyes still made Sun Gan feel very annoyed.
Sun Qian took a deep breath. He is not a man in the market, but a farmer in a mountain village. He just jumped up and patted the table to scold Pang Tong, but he settled down, "Yes, if he is not in his position, he will not seek his own affairs. It can only be used as a county guard, not like a military commander who is capable of governing a big country." Sun Qian emphasized the three words governing a big country.
These three words directly made Pang Tong's eyes condense, and a trace of chill emerged from his eyes.
Rule the country! These three words come from the 60th chapter of Laozi's "Tao Te Ching", which says: "Governing a big country is like cooking small delicacies." Seeing that Tang is a virtuous monarch, Yi Yin put forward his own ideas for governing the country to him. Once, Yi Yin saw Tang asked about the food, and said: "Cooking should neither be too salty nor too bland, but the seasoning must be adjusted well; governing the country is like cooking, neither too fast nor too slack. , Only when it is just right, can things be done well.” After hearing this, Shang Tang was very inspired and wanted to reuse Yi Yin. After Shang Tang talked with Yi Yin, he suddenly felt that it was too late to meet each other, and immediately appointed Yi Yin as "Aheng" (Prime Minister). Under the management of Shang Tang and Yi Yin, Shang Tang's power began to grow, and he wanted to attack Xia Jie .
This is a way of governing the country. If it is just mentioned, it is really a compliment, but now only three words are used, in fact, it is to hide the next four words, cooking! If you think about it carefully, you will know that what Sun Qian is insinuating is the famous Huainan dish, braised small turkey! This is the biggest shame that Pang Tong has suffered since he became an official. As the saying goes, it is easy to beat people without slapping people in the face and scolding people without swearing at their mothers, and Sun Gan is uncovering Pang Tong's scars.
"Enough!" Liu Bei hurriedly stopped him. Originally, he planned to let Jian Yong speak, but Jian Yong didn't know whether he really didn't see it, or pretended not to see it, so he just kept silent. In desperation, Liu Bei could only speak by himself. stood up.
"Gongyou, sir, both of you are my right-hand man and Bei's confidant, why do you have to face each other like this?" Neither Liu Bei is easy to offend, so he can only praise them first, "Gongyou, you are really good, sir." That's for our army, don't you know that the more you get, the more you pay!" Although Liu Bei was very fair to the two on the surface, in fact he was still partial to Feng Chu, who made Feng Chu Chu is now Liu Bei's first military division.
"It's Gongyou who understands!" Sun Qian glanced at Liu Bei and Pang Tong and apologized first.
"It's Shi Yuan who also understands. Brother Gongyou was wrong about Shiyuan just now, so please don't take offense!" Pang Tong also smiled and apologized, but his eyes were still full of coldness.
"Okay, sir, continue to talk!" The reason why Liu Bei is partial to Pang Tong is because Liu Bei knows that Sun Gan is a generalist, and this time he has a disagreement with Pang Tong. If it is untied, it will not have an adverse effect on Liu Beijun.
"Yes! My lord, my lord, if we tell Zhang Xiu the news that the gold was robbed now, Zhang Xiu may not believe it!" Pang Tong also came back to his senses and said to Liu Bei. Zhang Xiu used the knife to kill Lu Bu's tiger, but Zhang Xiu is not a fool! This batch of gold is only 8,000 gold, Lu Bu will go to war with Zhang Xiu for such a fortune? You must know that Lu Bu received tens of thousands of gold in compensation in the previous battles with Jiangdong and Jingzhou. Although the agreement stated that it was only money for buying and selling bed crossbows and warships, anyone with a discerning eye could see that It's just a fig leaf.
Moreover, Sun Ce sent letters to Liu Bei, and Zhang Xiu also had them if they were not complete. Sun Ce plotted against Lu Bu, so wouldn't Zhang Xiu think too much about it? And now the strength of Lu Bujun is not small, Zhang Xiu will really do it for the eight thousand gold!
Since there are so many flaws, then delay it, eight thousand gold is not enough, then go to 16,000 gold, this figure may make Yuan Shao jealous even in the wealthy Jingzhou! Moreover, Pang Tong plans to delay the delay until half a year later. At that time, I am afraid that Sun Ce's strategy is about to succeed. If it gets involved, Zhang Xiu will definitely be willing to be the one who makes trouble, and no matter how weak Lu Bu is, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and both Lu Bu and Zhang Xiu will be defeated, and it will be Liu Bei's world at that time.
"Sir, you are really a great talent!" Liu Bei's eyes also brightened. It was also Pang Tong's idea to write a memorial to Emperor Han, but he still felt a little bit pained by the eight thousand gold. It's worth more than 10,000 gold to exchange for the entire Central Plains, whether it's Lu Bu, Zhang Xiu, or Sun Ce Hehe, the mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind, but do you ever know that there is a hunter behind the oriole? exists.
Liu Bei was overjoyed and didn't notice the gloom in Sun Qian's eyes when he sat down, and the look that Pang Tong gave Sun Qian, which was full of resentment and murderous. (To be continued.)
