Chapter 600 Attracting Pang Tong (Plus More)

From the perspective of strength on paper, Zhuge Liang is undoubtedly the best!

But at this moment, with Jia Xu in the middle, Liu Zhang feels pretty good, at least Yizhou is very stable.

The Yizhou family is also very convinced of Jia Xu, and now with the help of the Chamber of Commerce, there is no major problem at all.

If you look at it this way, Pang Tong's ability to go out with the army to make suggestions, and even lead the army in person appears to be prominent.

After all, Xun You is the only one around Liu Zhang who really only engages in military warfare.

"Shiyuan, you came to Yizhou to wander around, didn't you?"

Even if the hope is less than 10%, Liu Zhang has to work hard. Especially in the face of top talents like Pang Tong.

It's a pity that Pang Tong nodded happily, blocking Liu Zhang's subsequent words.

"General Wei is right. I just want to come to Yizhou to see it with my own eyes."

"Ahem..."

Liu Zhang didn't expect Pang Tong to be so 'upright', and he didn't give him a chance to speak at all.

Both parties are human beings, and they clearly know what the other party's purpose is when they open their mouths.

"Shi Yuan, to be honest, I want you to serve under my command."

This time it was Pang Tong's turn to suffer, he never thought that Liu Zhang would be so 'upright'!

"General Wei is really direct..."

Liu Zhang couldn't help complaining in his heart, and I wanted to be more tactful, but I can't help you pretending to be stupid!

"Shi Yuan, you have the talent to know the world, and you have unpredictable strategies. You are definitely the top talent at that time! But I am the only one who can let you show your talent to the fullest in today's world!"

Pang Tong really wanted to dismissively say something shameless to Liu Zhang, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that what Liu Zhang said was not wrong.

Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Biao, Sun Ce?

Who can care about such a brat like him.

In fact, Pang Tong, who was born in Jingzhou, had very few choices. He could only choose to serve Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou, or Sun Ce, the little overlord who had just pacified Jiangdong.

Needless to say, Liu Biao, a waste, Pang Tong would rather farm at home than to be loyal to him.

As for Sun Ce, he was talented, but he was too reckless, just like his dead ghost father Sun Jian, he was a butcher. Kill kill kill all day long!

What Pang Tong looks down on the most on weekdays is this kind of brave and foolhardy person.

Of course, Sun Ce is currently at the height of his life, so he probably doesn't like Pang Tong.

Yizhou, which borders Jingzhou, and Liu Zhang, who is the shepherd of Yizhou and General Wei, can become the object of Pang Tong's consideration of becoming an official.

In particular, Liu Zhangxiong was talented and general, and he was undoubtedly the master of the Ming Dynasty, and he himself highly respected Pang Tong.

Pang Tong is well aware of this truth, but he doesn't want to join anyone's command at will.

"Is General Wei too arrogant? Could it be that Pang Tong is so unbearable that he can't be the important task of the princes of the world?"

Liu Zhang chuckled a few times, then shook his head.

"A scholar is more than a talent of thousands of miles? However, he is too young. May I ask which prince in the world can entrust a young man who has just reached the crown?"

Throughout the development from the end of the Han Dynasty to the present, except for Zhou Yu, who was like a brother to Sun Ce, who was reused at the age of twenty, no one has been given important tasks at this age.

Zhou Yu was able to receive this kind of treatment only when he was carrying soldiers, money and food, and various supplies on the battlefield.

Pang Tong is now alone, lonely, which prince would have such courage?

"Yuan Shao, Hebei, merged the four counties, and now he is bringing an army of 100,000 to the south of the Central Plains. I heard that Yuan Shao is a virtuous corporal, but he is not talented. Doesn't he get Yuan Benchu's attention?"

Liu Zhang could tell at a glance that Pang Tong was speaking out of anger!

Among the princes in this world, the one who is least likely to value Pang Tong is Yuan Shao.

"Scholar Yuan don't want to ruin his future! Yuan Benchu ​​looks stern and timid, he is always scheming, he cherishes his life when he does big things, and forgets his life when he sees small gains. He only respects the corporals on the surface, just to gain a good reputation."

"Yuan Shao is really a foolish and incompetent person. He sent his eldest son to Qingzhou, his second son to Youzhou, his third son to stay in Yecheng to follow him, and let his nephew go to Bingzhou. This caused many factions under his command to fight. Unbearable!"

"Yuan Shao will pay the price for this stupid decision sooner or later!"

Liu Zhang's words directly touched Pang Tong's heart, and the latter also thought so.

"What about Cao Mengde? Cao Cao started at the end of the century, and like General Wei, he issued orders to seek talents, and now he has occupied the Central Plains."

Liu Zhang's face darkened, and he immediately showed endless anger.

"Cao Cao forcibly moved the emperor to Xuchang. Not only did he assume the position of Sikong to control the government, but this year he killed Dong Cheng, Dong Guiren, and even the emperor's blood in Dong Guifei's belly! Such a great thief in the country, Let everyone get it and kill him!"

"Shiyuan is the descendant of the great clan of Jingzhou. He has been eating Han's salary for hundreds of years. He is an indisputable Han official! Don't you want to risk the world's disgrace and prepare to help Cao to abuse and destroy the Han family!"

Liu Zhang's words were sharp, and he scolded Cao Cao every sentence, which made Pang Tong flustered immediately, and even sweat oozed from his forehead.

Today's Cao Cao is indeed standing on the cusp, especially after killing the Dong family and murdering the blood of the emperor.

Pang Tong knew that as long as Guandu Cao Cao was defeated, the entire Cao Group would immediately collapse! He must not have any relationship with the national traitor Cao Cao.

"General Wei, calm down, I'm just a joke! Cao Cao deceived the emperor, and the commander wanted to kill this country's traitor. How could he serve him?"

Pang Tong immediately expressed his attitude, and Liu Zhang also softened his face a little.

"Shi Yuan is a genius in this world, don't get into the mud by mistake!"

I have to say that the murderous aura of Liu Zhang's superior is still very compelling, frightening the inexperienced Pang Tong into sweat, and repeatedly admitting his mistakes.

"General Wei, now that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are mentioned, what does General Wei think of the victory or defeat of these two in Guandu?"

Pang Tong quickly changed the subject and turned the matter over as soon as possible.

Liu Zhang couldn't be more clear about the outcome of the Battle of Guandu.

However, Liu Zhang couldn't simply answer Pang Tong's result. He also wanted to prove his vision to Pang Tong with this battle of Guandu.

"Cao Cao's mastermind, Guo Jia, wrote a theory of ten victories and ten defeats for his master before the war. Shi Yuan should know about it. To be honest, Guo Jia is not simple. He has already seen that Yuan Shao must be defeated!"

"Yuan Shao's biggest problem is that he cares too much about his face. He puts his own face first in everything he does. He recruits talents, and he fights wars as well!"

"There are many reasons and few things, and there is no decision! The powerful enemy Cao Cao is not yet destroyed, so he allows the various factions to fight with each other! I am afraid that Cao Cao will not be eliminated, and Yuan Shao will be dragged down by his own internal friction!"

Liu Zhang sighed, then shook his head helplessly.

"Although I don't want the national traitor Cao Cao to win, Yuan Benchu, who is ambitious and talented, is indeed no match for Cao Cao. I am afraid that the land of Hebei will belong to Cao Cao sooner or later!"
