Pang Tong received Zhuge Liang's letter and knew it was time to go find Liu Bei.
According to their plan, they are going to find Liu Bei now, which is much ahead of schedule, but it doesn't matter. Mr. Shui Jing's arrangement is to let him assist Liu Bei in pacifying the world. The problem is actually the same sooner or later, but Zhuge Liang mentioned it in his letter. Yes, the issue of someone leaking secrets around Sima Hui made him worried.
Zhuge Liang's experience was right in front of him, which gave him a lot of worries.
"Still not sure whether it's true or false."
Pang Tong muttered in his heart.
It is precisely because of this that Zhuge Liang will let him go to Xiangyang in advance, otherwise he will have to pretend to be mysterious to the end.
Now, he had just packed his things and was preparing to leave for the day. At this time, he heard someone coming outside, and asked casually, but he couldn't hear anyone responding outside, only the sound of footsteps approaching the house where he was.
An uneasy feeling lingered in his heart for no reason.
Pang Tong believed 70% of the leaks Zhuge Liang mentioned. People who were worried about Cao Cao might really come against him. Just when he was worried, the door of the room was pushed open, and the person who came in was not one of his servants, but a A complete stranger.
"Who are you?"
Pang Tong asked with a frown.
Cao Gu said: "Introduce myself, my name is Cao Gu, and I am a person under the command of Prime Minister Cao. We, Prime Minister Cao, have heard a saying for a long time, Crouching dragon and phoenix, one of them can conquer the world. Crouching dragon is in Xiangyang, Prime Minister Cao has no choice but to You sent me to find Mr. Feng Chu, and please come back with me!"
Pang Tong shook his head and said, "What Feng Chu? Have you found the wrong person?"
Cao Gu shook his head and said, "It can't be wrong. Even if it is wrong, it doesn't matter."
It is better to catch a mistake than to let it go.
As he said that, he took two steps back, gave way to the door, and signaled Pang Tong to leave with them.
Pang Tong went outside and saw that all the servants in his family had been knocked unconscious and were lying on the ground.
Everyone in the yard was Cao's family, completely surrounding him, and there was no possibility of escape.
"Mr. Fengchu, the carriage is ready outside. Please don't embarrass us."
Cao Gu's words were relatively plain, but in his plain tone, he revealed a faint threat and murderous intention. As long as Pang Tong disagreed, he would take action, regardless of life or death.
The requirement of the mission is that if a living person cannot be obtained, then the person will die.
"Since Prime Minister Cao sincerely invites you, it would be my fault if I don't go. Please lead the way."
Pang Tong was frightened and could feel their murderous intent.
Of course he didn't want to die and had no choice but to obey.
Cao Gu smiled slightly and finally completed a task. He took Pang Tong to the carriage and left Chaisang in a swaggering manner. However, when passing through the city gate, he happened to meet Guan Yu head-on as he entered the city.
Seeing this, Cao Gu was inexplicably nervous.
He knew Guan Yu, but Guan Yu didn't know him.
Pang Tong was in the carriage and had no chance to meet Guan Yu.
"Let's go!"
After leaving the city, Pang Tong urged him to go back quickly.
Guan Yu entered the city and went straight to Pang Tong's home.
According to Liu Bei's idea, he was asked to pick up the people, and he also brought a carriage. With his force value, he could confidently protect Pang Tong and go back. It was easy and no problem at all.
Soon, we arrived at Pang's house.
Guan Yu was about to knock on the door when he unexpectedly saw the Pang family's door open. A bad feeling emerged in his heart.
"Is nothing going to happen?"
He thought to himself as he dismounted and walked through the door.
Sure enough, something happened.
Only a few servants of the Pang family were lying on the ground, and Pang Tong could no longer be seen inside.
"not good!"
Guan Yu was shocked. It seemed that the people here had just left not long ago. He immediately arranged for his followers to chase him. Then he went to Chaisang to find local officials and revealed his identity to find the person.
But when they found out that the person was gone, it was too late to find him again.
Guan Yu had no choice but to let people chase him while he went back to Liu Bei to report the situation.
They invited Zhuge Liang, but Zhuge Liang was attacked.
Now ask Pang Tong to come out, but Pang Tong has been taken away.
It sounds really in line with what Zhuge Liang said, that there is something leaked.
——
Koto.
Sun Quan completely stabilized everyone within his rule, and at the same time suppressed the negative impact of his brother's death.
When it comes to fighting, Sun Jian and Sun Ce are both very strong.
They are a Jiangdong tiger and a little overlord. If they hadn't been tricked, the development of the Sun family might have been further, but Sun Quan's ability to fight was not that good. There is a saying that he is both good and fun-loving, which is exactly what Sun Quan is talking about. Such a situation.
Therefore, Sun Quan became Sun Shiwan again.
But now Sun Quan also wants to fight a war. He can't forget Hefei, and he can't forget Huang Zu, who has the revenge of killing his father.
However, Sun Quan's political ability was much better than his military ability. Especially for the internal integration of different factions and clans, he did an excellent job.
That's why he's able to hold his own.
"Hefei, we can't fight!"
Zhou Yu objected again, and Sun Quan missed Hefei and said: "Cao Cao is too powerful now! It took only two years for the four northern states to be completely pacified, and many leaders of the Wuhuan people were killed. , which shows how terrifying the current military strength has grown to."
Now Cao Cao's strength gives people the feeling that it far exceeds Yuan Shao.
The Sun family wanted to fight Cao Cao, but their chances of winning were not good.
"Except for Cao Cao, Liu Biao of Jingzhou died so quickly. Now on the surface, Liu Qi is the shepherd of Jingzhou, but secretly Liu Bei is in power, and Liu Bei's ability is not bad."
Lu Su said in a deep voice: "I never thought that Liu Bei could develop so fast and use ruthless methods. I heard that brother Liu Qi is as seriously ill as Liu Biao now. If it has nothing to do with Liu Bei, I don't believe it."
Sun Quan sat at the top. Hearing this, he frowned and said, "According to what you two said, what should we do now?"
Hefei cannot be beaten.
It would be difficult to take revenge on Huang Zu.
After they stabilized, Sun Quan felt that he urgently needed a war to prove his strength and wanted to fight a war now.
Zhang Zhao bowed and said, "My subordinates believe that what we need to do now is to unite with Liu Bei and deal with Cao Cao together."
Zhou Yu agreed: "Yes! Cao Cao is strong. Only if we join forces can we compete with him. Otherwise... let alone defeating Hefei, it will be difficult for us to even cross the river and go north! Just being the lord in Yangzhou is not what we want. In the future The limitations in Yangzhou must be opened.”
As soon as this statement came out, others also agreed.
The enemy is too strong and can only look for allies.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
"Join forces with Liu Bei?"
Sun Quan said displeasedly: "Jingzhou and I have a grudge against killing my father!"
Lu Su said: "This is simple. When we are in the alliance, let Liu Bei take out Huang Zu as a lottery and let us kill him. As long as Liu Bei is not short-sighted, Huang Zu will not be left behind."
After a pause, he continued: "If your lord is willing, I can go to Xiangyang and convince your lord to convince Liu Bei that we can unite."
The Sun-Liu coalition seems to be the current trend.
Sun Quan thought for a long time and agreed: "Leave the matter of the Sun-Liu alliance to Zijing!"
