Since they met, the two have been attracted by each other's intelligence.
But two people who are equally smart will inevitably have the desire to compete.
Therefore, the two are both close friends and are also targeting each other.
Everyone wants to overpower the other and become the strongest among the younger generation.
As we grow older, there is no clear winner in terms of intelligence, but earth-shaking changes have taken place externally.
Zhuge Liang's height grew rapidly and his figure became extremely tall.
This is not over yet, Zhuge Liang's appearance is very upright, and his whole temperament seems to be otherworldly.
Pang Tong, whose talent is almost the same as Zhuge Liang's, has the exact opposite growth in external aspects!
Not only was Pang Tong short in stature, his skin was dark and his facial features were extremely ugly!
Taking Pang Tong out alone is already impossible to see.
If compared with Zhuge Liang, there is no comparability at all.
The appearance of the two is not in the same dimension at all.
Fortunately, Pang Tong was not affected by secular remarks and studied harder, secretly vowing to trample Zhuge Liang under his feet.
Hard work paid off. Pang Tong's efforts not only made him more knowledgeable, but also won the collective recognition of Jingzhou celebrities!
In particular, the highly respected Duke Pang De and the famous scholar Sima Hui were full of praise for Pang Tong.
Sima Hui even evaluated Pang Tong as "the leader of Nanzhou scholars"!
None of the wise men in the south can compare with Pang Tong!
Just when Pang Tong was satisfied and felt that he had finally beaten Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong received another evaluation.
Phoenix chick!
If the phoenix spreads its wings, it will soar thousands of miles!
If Pang Tong grows up, who in the world can stop him?
This has already compared Pang Tong to the top wise man in the world today.
But before Pang Tong had time to be happy, he heard Pang Degong's evaluation of Zhuge Liang.
Wolong!
Everyone in the world knows that the dragon represents the emperor, the king, and the most powerful force!
The phoenix is the second best.
Pang Tong suddenly felt unnatural and even a little dissatisfied.
Why is Zhuge Liang a dragon?
Pang Tong recalled Sima Hui's evaluation and suddenly realized.
Zhuge Liang was not a native of Jingzhou, and naturally he was not a scholar of Nanzhou.
It turns out that even Sima Hui felt that Zhuge Liang's ability could suppress Pang Tong!
Not long after, Huang Chengyan of the Huang family in Jiangxia personally recruited Zhuge Liang as his son-in-law!
This seems to further illustrate Zhuge Liang's status in the hearts of the Jingzhou clan.
Mr. Pang De was praised by Sima Hui, and Huang Chengyan was even more anxious to marry his daughter!
But what about Pang Tong? Nothing at all.
Why are you, Zhuge Liang, Wolong, being fought over by all forces?
Why do I, Pang Tong, have to play second fiddle to you because I am a phoenix?
Pang Tong was not convinced at all, and he was not willing to be the second child!
But Pang Tong did not make any noise, nor did he go around complaining. He was still obsessed with learning.
Finally one day, he came to Yizhou and met the person who could let him prove his talent.
Pang Tong immediately abandoned everything!
What kind of young master of the Pang family, what kind of leader of Jingzhou scholars?
Facts have proved that Pang Tong was right. Liu Zhang went north to Yongliang. He was full of ingenuity, bold and careful.
In the first battle, he helped Liu Zhang defeat the Xianbei army and ascended to the position of Duke!
He once again led the troops alone, commanding the Huns' army several times, and even killed tens of thousands of enemy troops!
Pang Tong became famous in two battles and immediately became one of the top strategists in the world.
With the blessing of great achievements, Pang Tong was granted the title of marquis and general at a young age!
General Zhonglang, the military advisor of the Eastern Army, and was given the title of rear military advisor among the five military advisors!
At this moment, Pang Tong could finally stand up, but he was still unable to suppress Zhuge Liang.
Liu Bei, who was in a hurry and had no foothold, was like a dragon entering the sea after worshiping Zhuge Liang as his military advisor!
Under Zhuge Liang's plan, he first established himself in the four counties of Jingnan, and then relied on Liu Qi's power to almost capture the entire southern county in one fell swoop.
From less than a thousand soldiers to tens of thousands, it seems that it is just a blink of an eye.
Pang Tong is not an arrogant person. He once thought that if he and Zhuge Liang had different identities, he might not necessarily do as well as Zhuge Liang.
But that’s fine!
Zhuge Liang became Liu Bei's chief adviser, relying on the power of the four counties of Jingnan and the five counties of Nanjun to support an army of tens of thousands.
At this time, Pang Tong was the military advisor of the Eastern Army and the chief counselor of the Eastern Army.
In the end, does Wolong really deserve the title, or does Feng Xiao step on Wolong's protrusion?
The two of them can each rely on their military strength to decide the outcome in an upright manner!
Personal appearance and other people's evaluation will become weak!
The opportunity to prove it to the world was completely in Pang Tong's own hands.
This time Pang Tong was not only for the great cause of Qin, but also for his personal honor and disgrace!
An hour later, Wei Yan finally sent someone to send back the news.
"Reporting to the military advisor, General Wei captured Zigui. The deserters from Zigui were intercepted by General Meng, and no one escaped through the trap!"
"good!"
Pang Tong was immediately overjoyed, everything was as he expected!
The destruction of Zigui City has already achieved half of the expected goal.
Pang Tong didn't waste any time and immediately went to Zigui City to join Wei Yan.
After entering the city, Mengda also successfully escorted the prisoners back.
After careful verification, Pang Tong finally confirmed that Zigui City's entire army had been wiped out.
There were 1,000 defenders in the city, 658 of whom died in the battle, and the rest were all captured.
By questioning the prisoners, Pang Tong also got another important news.
There are currently only 500 defenders in Yiling City, half the number in Zigui.
As for the reason why there are so few troops in the two important towns, it is exactly the same as what Pang Tong thought.
In order to deal with Cai Mao, Liu Bei deployed a large number of troops.
After a night's rest, Pang Tong left Meng Da to lead a thousand men to defend the city and guard the prisoners, and then personally led Wei Yan and four thousand barbarians to Yiling.
As long as Yiling is taken, the path for the Eastern Army to attack Jingzhou will be completely opened in the future!
In order to prevent Liu Bei's army from noticing the abnormality, Pang Tong was lightly dressed and led the army to advance crazily in the mountains.
In just one day, they had already marched a hundred miles, even faster than the cavalry!
However, the closer we get to Yiling, the more rugged and difficult the road becomes.
All kinds of weeds and trees blocked the sky and the sun, making the already narrow road only able to accommodate a few people.
Pang Tong was very happy in his heart. If Liu Bei's army was prepared, it would be difficult for any large army to attack!
As long as soldiers are stationed in the dangerous passes on both sides and camps are set up in the wide roads, millions of troops will have to stare at it!
"Chang Wen, we can only attack Yiling head-on this time, everything depends on you!"
Pang Tong was very optimistic about Wei Yan, who was also born in Jingzhou, and this time he personally selected Wei Yan.
The Qin State is full of talented people and ambitious people. If no one pays attention to it, it will be difficult for someone as powerful as Wei Yan to get ahead.
Wei Yan was a solitary man and was not liked by others.
Pang Tong's attention made him burst into tears of gratitude.
"Don't worry, military advisor!"
The military exploits of capturing Yiling and destroying the city twice were enough to make Wei Yan famous in the Eastern Army, not to mention his fame throughout the world!
Not long after, something unexpected happened.
A tangle of trees suddenly piled up ahead.
The road was already narrow, and now it completely blocked the way of Pang Tong and others.
Pang Tong felt a thump in his heart. He had traveled more than a hundred miles without seeing anything like this.
How come there are trees blocking the road in the deep mountains?
"Military advisor, there are words here!"
Wei Yan was born as a farmer and was illiterate. He was still learning.
Pang Tong stepped forward quickly, his whole body wet with sweat instantly.
There are words indicating that it was left behind intentionally!
"Feng Chu died here, Zhuge Kongming!"
"broken!"
At this moment, drums sounded loudly at the dangerous passes on both sides, and countless soldiers suddenly appeared.
These soldiers all drew their bows and arrows and shot at Pang Tong immediately.
Boo hoo hoo. . .
In just a blink of an eye, Pang Tong was already hit by several arrows!
When Wei Yan saw this situation, his eyes suddenly burst into tears.
"military adviser!"
