"What!" Everyone present was stunned, but they knew that because Liu Bei's military adviser Pang Tong in Yuzhou killed Liu Mang's army envoy, although Liu Biao was not the one who did it, Liu Biao could be regarded as his accomplice, so Liu Mang raised his army, he The direction is the Shinno area.
This made the entire Jingzhou people panic. Those who have the main battle naturally want to unite with Liu Bei in Yuzhou to deal with Liu Mang, and those who are unwilling to start the war are people like Kuai Liang, because no matter what the outcome is , Jingzhou is the only loser!
If Liu Mang's army wins, then Liu Biao in Jingzhou will lose Xinye and all the cities north of the Yangtze River. If Liu Bei wins, then Liu Bei will also consume Liu Biao's military rations. The general army, but the overall planning is still dominated by Yuzhou, and the three counties of Xinye Anzhong and Cheng are used as the place where Liu Bei's vanguard troops are placed.
If Sancheng borrowed it, would it still have to be repaid? In the end, I am afraid that there is only one Fancheng left in Jingzhou that can resist Liu Bei!
There are still people in Jingzhou who are fantasizing about controlling Liu Bei like controlling Zhang Xiu. They are simply daydreaming. Zhang Xiu is not involved in production, so he can hold Zhang Xiu's throat with military rations. It can completely block him! As for Liu Bei, is he a person who doesn't do production? After occupying Nanyang for half a month, he has already begun to arrange the migration of the people to even out the land. Now Liu Bei's army is relying on Liu Biao because Liu Bei is running out of food and grass, and when the summer harvest comes next year, there will really be multiple wolves. Even Zhang Xiu almost turned against Jingzhou, not to mention Liu Bei!
But now everything seems to have nothing to do with him in Jingzhou. Liu Mang sent the army not to Jingzhou, but directly westward to Nanyang. You have nothing to do with Jingzhou. If Liu Bei kills my envoy, I will naturally go to trouble Liu Bei. Now if Xinye is just an excuse.
You are here to fight over and over. In the end, they told you directly that this matter has nothing to do with you, and you can imagine the expressions of everyone present.
"Impossible, impossible!" Pang Tong stood aside as if he had been struck by lightning. Pang Tong had planned for such a long time, and he did not hesitate to kill Liu Mang's envoy and his elder brother's best friend. Isn't the reason for provoking a war between Liu Mang's army and Liu Biao's army! But now the outcome is that Liu Mang's army is targeting Nanyang.
"My lord, if this Liu Mang didn't want to be an enemy of our army at all, why did he kill my envoy?!"
"My lord, please make the decision for my elder brother Tang Yun!" Pang Shanmin knelt down again. Just now Liu Mang said it was okay to send troops, but now something happened again, and Pang Shanmin didn't care if he sent troops or not. All he wanted was to avenge his elder brother Tang Yun.
"I, Kuai Zirou, don't know how Tang Yun died, but I do know that Tang Yun was definitely not killed by King Liu Mang of Shu!"
"Kuai Liang, you are always defending Liu Mang, king of Shu. Why are you so peaceful? Are you still an official of Jingzhou? Or an official of his Yangzhou?!"
"Defend the king of Shu? I just don't want my lord to be used by those who want to, not to mention the many doubts before. Let's talk about this last one. If Liu Mang, the king of Shu, kills my envoy from Jingzhou, he still dares to appear in Xinye. Do you still dare to come to Jingzhou to discuss the matter of military rations with my lord in person!" Kuai Liang said with a sneer, pointing at the group of scribes who flattered Pang Tong.
"Liu Mang is in Xinye?!" Now there was really nothing to say, and the scribes below closed their mouths. If Tang Yun was really killed by Liu Mang, then would Liu Mang really dare to come to Jingzhou? Certainly not, because no matter how powerful Liu Mang is. When you arrive in Jingzhou, even the dragon has to fight. Killing the envoy is a slap in the face, because Liu Bei killed Liu Mang's envoy. Liu Reck sent troops to Nanyang. If everyone confesses, Liu Biao will also blame Liu Mang.
"Yes. Liu Mang, King of Shu, was escorted to Xinye by his soldiers and horses. His soldiers and horses continued westward to Nanyang under the leadership of the general, and he himself is now in Xinye, having a banquet with the prefect of Xinye to discuss! Choose a date. Then set off to Xiangyang to discuss with my lord the matter of Jing Yang's grain and grass!" Although the prefect of Xinye did not directly invite Liu Mang to a banquet, he did not dare to neglect Liu Mang, and he did a good job in terms of etiquette.
"Liu Mang is here!" Pang Tong knew that he had lost this time, and he gritted his teeth. He provoked the relationship between Jingzhou and Yangzhou, and he calculated that Liu Mang would not dare to come to Jingzhou. Therefore, regardless of whether Pang Tong killed Liu Mang's envoy or Tang Yun, the two parties will not seek proof. On the contrary, because the envoys of both parties are dead, they can make both sides suspicious of each other. , then Liu Biao will really send troops, and no matter whose fault it is, this war will be settled.
But now everything is because of Liu Mang's arrival in Xinye. Liu Mang's magnanimity makes it difficult to compare him with the kind of Liu Mang who Pang Tong said was going to invade Jingzhou.
"My lord, is this His Royal Highness the King of Shu sending troops to us? My lord, do we still need to ask General Huang to put aside the things in Changsha and come in command of the troops?" Kuai Liang said as he walked. "Do you still need to deliver food and grass to Liu Bei in Yuzhou for nothing?!" Kuai Liang said, looking at Pang Tong beside him sarcastically.
When Kuai Liang said this, everyone realized that when Pang Tong was sent to Jingzhou, he also came to ask for food and grass, and he was also planning to buy it. The money can be said to be given by Liu Bei to live frugally. I heard that Liu Bei Now there are only twenty-two dishes in one meal.
But because Liu Mang's army came out of Shouchun, these Jingzhou gentry panicked. In the end, not only did they not raise the price, but they also felt like they were begging Liu Bei to send troops for help. Those military rations were simply begging Liu Bei to get more a little.
And now Liu Mang's goal is that he has nothing to do with Jingzhou and his Jingzhou half a dime. Naturally, there is no need to give these food and grass. If you want food and grass, you can take money! You must know that a large part of these grains and grasses were collected by these Jingzhou gentry, and they were naturally reluctant to give them away for nothing.
"Nephew! Think long-term, think long-term!" Liu Biao also spoke, his heart was full of joy, and he was not willing to start a war with Liu Mang's army, but if Liu Mang sent troops, he, Liu Biao, would have to fight. It's all right now, Liu Mang has gone to trouble Liu Bei, and he has nothing to do with Liu Biao. Naturally happy.
"No, Liu Jingzhou, this false king, Liu Mang, is ambitious!" Pang Tong wanted to say something, but Liu Biao waved his hand, "Come and send envoy Pang to the station to rest!" Hearing what Liu Biao said, Pang Tong could only shut up. Mouth.
Although Pang Tong is Liu Bei's envoy in Yuzhou, he has been living in the Pang family because he is a child of the Pang family, but now Liu Biao wants Pang Tong to live in the inn, except for a kind of unfamiliarity. Another thing is to monitor Pang Tong and alienate Pang Tong.
Pang Tong gritted his teeth fiercely, and he could only walk towards the station under the escort of a few Jingzhou soldiers.
"Mr. Pang, Tang Yun's death is rather hidden. Mr. Pang, do you think this is Mr. Ling?!" Kuai Liang watched happily as Pang Tong gritted his teeth and left. Then he turned his attention to Pang Degong. It is not polite to call Pang Tong Kuai Liang, but to Pang Degong, Kuai Liang also needs to be respectful. After all, Pang Degong's reputation is there.
"I don't know if Tang Yun died at the hands of Liu Mang, King of Shu, but I hope that Mr. Liu can find the murderer who killed my Heroic Spirit of Jingzhou as soon as possible. He must not be allowed to go unpunished!" Pang Degong said a mock two-word Words, and left with Pang Shanmin.
Not only Kuai Liang heaved a sigh of relief after dismissing the most difficult Duke Pound, but also Liu Biao heaved a sigh of relief.
A group of people walked towards the meeting hall again, halfway; Liu Biao stopped suddenly, "Zirou, how many troops did this Shu king Liu Mang send to Nanyang?!"
Liu Biao was concerned about the direction of Liu Mang's army, not Liu Bei in Nanyang County, they were fighting upside down. What Liu Biao was worried about was that if Liu Mang's army went out, Liu Biao would also keep a hand.
"According to the messenger, Liu Mang, the king of Shu, only brought three thousand cavalry!" Kuai Liang replied to Liu Biao.
"Three thousand cavalry?!" Liu Biao frowned, but then relaxed his brows. Three thousand cavalry, the first thing he thought of was the Bingzhou wolf cavalry, which is the most powerful ace troop under Lu Bu's army. "It's a little less!"
Kuai Liang didn't know the specific situation, so he could only nod along, "Maybe His Royal Highness the King of Shu just wants to teach Liu Daer a lesson!"
"There is no need for him to say. All we have to do is to wait for the arrival of His Highness the King of Shu in Xiangyang!" Liu Biao's face was full of smiles, how could he be unhappy, it was not his wish to start a war with Liu Mang, Both Liu Mangjun and Liu Beijun made him afraid. Now that Liu Mang has gone to attack Liu Bei, and he has come to Jingzhou in person, he can be said to be a proton when he arrives in Jingzhou. The two threats are all eliminated, and Liu Biao is of course happy.
Compared with Liu Biao's happiness, Pang Tong who was escorted to the post was almost mad with anger.
"Military division! Except for the first batch of 2,000 shi, all our grain transport ships have been suspended!" A man dressed as a scribe carefully reported to Pang Tong that the military grain had already been loaded. Ship, but now it is no longer shipped to Nanyang.
"Got it!" Pang Tong's face was gloomy.
"Military Master, there are a few more bugs outside this room, it's so annoying!" Zhang Fei was also assigned to the station together with Pang Tong.
"Huh?!" Pang Tong also opened the curtains, and saw outside the post station, those people who were dressed in common people's clothes but showed a soldier's attitude in every move. These were sent by Liu Biao or Kuai Liang. The person monitoring him, but it is a bit too obvious, have you ever seen a strong and strong person selling sesame seed cakes! , have you ever seen the old man with the white beard walk like a tiger
"Liu Mang, Liu Mang is Liu Mang again!" Pang Tong Mengde overturned all the tables in the station. Seeing it, seeing it was about to succeed, but now everything was in vain. Not only did Liu Biao's army fail to start a war with Liu Mang County, but even the food and grass that belonged to him in Yuzhou were all gone. The Pang family alone would not be able to last long. After all, Liu Bei did not want to support 10,000 There are 20,000 soldiers, but 70,000 soldiers, 40,000 in Nanyang County, and 30,000 in Yuzhou. Now Liu Bei is still planning to expand his army. Even if the entire Pang family is emptied, he still cannot afford it.
The Mi family merchant family back then could be regarded as the richest man in Xuzhou, but even that kind of family gave Liu Bei only 3,000 lessons. It can afford to raise 30,000 soldiers and horses, and Pang Tong Pang Degong can't afford to raise 100,000 soldiers and horses! What's more, the current Pang family is not in charge of Pang Tong.
"Military Master, are we still staying in Jingzhou?!" The scribe asked, knowing that if Liu Mang really came to Jingzhou, then Tang Yun's death would really need to be discussed. Kill, then wait to bear Liu Biao's anger, even Pang Degong can't keep Pang Tong, and even his eldest brother Pang Shanmin can kill his relatives righteously! Even Pang Tong can't protect himself, can they, the people below, be spared! So it's better to take the thirty-six plan and move on. If you know something can't be done, you should retreat.
"Go?!" Pang Tong stood up abruptly, "How could I go!" His face was full of ferocity, did he leave in such a state of embarrassment without getting anything? This is not his style, and if he returns empty-handed, he will I can't afford to lose this face.
"Military teacher, you?!" The scribes nearby wanted to dissuade them, but they were afraid of Pang Tong's actions. Many people died in Pang Tong's hands.
"Don't worry, my elder brother will definitely not suspect me! I also didn't know that Tang Yun was killed by me!" The two perpetrators have already been killed by Pang Tong. Without witnesses, there will be no physical evidence.
"Liu Mang, you came to Jingzhou! Well, well done, well done hahahaha!" Pang Tong suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up and he laughed loudly, "If you are still in Yangzhou, I really can't stand you, but you When you come to Jingzhou, you can’t help it!” Pang Tong’s hatred for Liu Mang is truly endless, and Pang Tong’s memory of the sentence Jingzhou little turkey on Yingshui is particularly deep in his memory. In the battle of Yangzhou, Pang Tong was defeated even more. Can Pang Tong bear it! For a long time, Pang Tong was a competitive person, and lost to Liu Wei again and again, how could Pang Tong bear it! This time, it was because of Liu Mang's arrival in Xinye that his Pang Tong's military ration strategy was also destroyed. If he didn't get some money back, he wouldn't be Pang Tong.
Liu Mang was in Yangzhou and was guarded by all the troops. Pang Tong really couldn’t do anything to Liu Mang, but when he arrived in Jingzhou, Liu Mang was really a knife and I was a fish. Although Pang Tong lived here as a guest, don’t forget, Pang Tong There is a Pang family behind him.
Moreover, Liu Mang had offended quite a few gentry in Jingzhou, and it would be difficult to think of anything with them as his arm.
"Come here, give me a secret appointment with Huang She, son of the Huang family!" Huang She was the first thing Pang Tong thought of!
