With Liu Zhang's help, Pang Tong finally saw his former classmates and friends again after many years.
Although they are said to be good friends, in fact, there is not much deep friendship between Pang Tong and Xu Shu.
At least compared to Zhuge Liang, the relationship between Pang Tong and Xu Shu is far different!
Even so, Xu Shu was inevitably a little moved when meeting old friends.
"Shiyuan, are you okay?"
The huge difference in status between the two made Xu Shu feel a little ashamed.
One is one of Qin Gong's four major military advisors, the military advisor of the Eastern Army Military Region.
A man who was once the commander-in-chief of an army, unfortunately became a prisoner today!
Pang Tong, who was once looked down upon by Xu Shu, now completely trampled on him!
"We haven't seen each other for many years. I miss my brother very much!"
Xu Shu was extremely surprised. He had never thought that Pang Tong would be so polite to him.
For a moment, Xu Shu was at a loss.
In Xu Shu's mind, Pang Tong should show off his power in front of him at this time!
Pang Tong bowed his hands and walked directly to Xu Shu.
"Brother, we haven't seen each other for many years. I wonder if the old lady is okay?"
Xu Shu's expression suddenly darkened.
Ever since he was captured, what he cared about day and night was his mother.
"Hey, Xu Shu is incompetent. He is trapped in Yiling and cannot serve his mother!"
"I haven't known what my mother is doing these past few months. I really deserve death!"
Xu Shu was famous for his filial piety, which was something Pang Tong always admired about him.
"Brother, please don't say that! The old lady is so blessed that everything will be fine!"
After hearing Pang Tong's consolation, Xu Shu suddenly frowned.
It seems that some people understand the meaning behind this friendship.
"Shiyuan, you and I have known each other for several years, and we have a close friendship. There is no need to be so deceitful."
"If you want to persuade me to surrender to Liu Zhang, you'd better not open your mouth!"
Pang Tong smiled softly, not paying attention to the sudden change in attitude.
"Brother has misunderstood. Tong has just arrived in Yiling. I am worried about my brother and came here to see him!"
“I’m definitely not here to be a lobbyist this time!”
Xu Shu stared at Pang Tong for a while, and then smiled helplessly.
Pang Tong was very smart. He deliberately said that he would not be a lobbyist this time, but he did not say what he would do next time!
"It doesn't matter, it's rare for Shi Yuan to miss you as your brother, and I'm so grateful to you!"
The two looked at each other and smiled again, feeling as if their past feud had been cleared.
Feeling Pang Tong's change, Xu Shu couldn't help but feel admiration in his heart.
"It seems that Shiyuan has been following Duke Qin for many years and has gained a lot of experience!"
The previous Pang Tong was sharp and domineering, which made people feel difficult to get in touch with him.
Now Pang Tong is extremely reserved and has a well-hidden temperament.
Xu Shu could intuitively feel the changes in Pang Tong, and firmly believed that Pang Tong at this time must be even more terrifying!
"Haha, brother is so complimentary!"
"After walking through the gates of hell for a while, you should have some enlightenment!"
Pang Tong was so calm that Xu Shu felt guilty again.
It was Zhuge Liang's plan to ambush Pang Tong, but it was Xu Shu who executed it.
Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu, who were fellow disciples, attacked Pang Tong mercilessly and wanted to shoot him to death on the spot.
But Pang Tong, as a victim, could be so calm when facing the perpetrator.
This courage alone was enough to impress Xu Shu.
Anger cannot deceive others. No matter how well you hide it, there will still be clues.
However, Xu Shu could not see the slightest anger in Pang Tong's eyes.
Perhaps the only thing he has is the fighting spirit not to admit defeat.
"Shi Yuan, neither Kong Ming nor I want to harm you, but..."
Xu Shu wanted to explain, but he couldn't say a single word.
In terms of emotion and reason, public and private, Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu had no excuse for ambushing and shooting Pang Tong.
Especially Xu Shu, who was trapped in Yingchuan and fled to Jingzhou.
If Pang Degong hadn't taken him in and taught him his skills, how could he have become the commander of an army?
Pang Tong smiled and patted Xu Shu's shoulder gently.
"Brother, no need to say more, I can understand!"
"Two armies are fighting, and each is his own master! If it were me, I wouldn't be merciful either."
"Even if Pang Tong dies by an arrow, he can only blame himself for his lack of academic skills, not his brother!"
Pang Tong understood the righteousness so well, which made Xu Shu even more ashamed.
Xu Shu would rather Pang Tong pointed at his nose and yelled at him, scolding him for being heartless and unjust and not caring about old feelings.
This will actually make you feel better.
"Shi Yuanzhen is a brilliant man, Xu Shu is ashamed of himself!"
Facing Pang Tong at this moment, Xu Shu could only describe it as admiration.
Wolong and Fengxiao are not comparable after all.
Maybe Wolong hasn't awakened yet, but Fengxiao has already transformed.
Xu Shu looked at Liu Zhang again, his eyes becoming more complicated.
What kind of virtue and ability does this man in front of him have that can make Pang Tong so determined to assist him?
Feeling Xu Shu's gaze, Liu Zhang responded with a smile.
"Yuan Zhi, the phoenix can be reborn only after bathing in the fire, and can finally spread its wings and soar in the nine heavens."
"If Wolong keeps lying down, he doesn't even know how to fly."
"What's the difference between a flightless dragon... and a snake?"
If it had been before the battle at Xiaoting, Xu Shu would have scorned Liu Zhang's arrogant words.
How could an ordinary man like Liu Zhang understand Wolong, who was so talented in the world?
But after the war, the myth of Wolong was destroyed.
Liu Zhang single-handedly completely reversed the situation.
Zhuge Liang's failure in Wolong directly led to Xu Shu's capture.
However, this did not make Xu Shu completely lose confidence in Zhuge Liang.
The two have a close friendship and a deep admiration for their respective talents.
Xu Shu would never think that Zhuge Liang had been defeated. He must have a strategy to turn things around!
"Mr. Qin, don't talk too much!"
"You did win this time, but no one can win all the time."
"Because of a failure, Shi Yuan was finally reborn from the ashes and spread his wings for nine days!"
"Then how do you know Wolong will not completely awaken because of this failure?"
"Once Wolong soars, it will not be as simple as nine days!"
Liu Zhang nodded slightly, but did not refute Xu Shu's expectations for Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang's talent is indeed astonishing, and he has been praised by countless capable people with lofty ideals. How could Liu Zhang be so arrogant that he looked down on Wolong?
But history has proven everything!
No matter how strong Zhuge Liang was, he eventually died of illness in Wuzhangyuan.
The five Northern Expeditions failed to change the destiny and help the Han Dynasty.
Enough to illustrate a problem!
"Yuan Zhi, I admire Zhuge Liang's talent very much, but it's a pity that he has the wrong master!"
"If Wolong wants to soar into the sky, he needs a strong force to support him!"
"Liu Bei? Haha, does he have that ability?"
Xu Shu was silent. Judging from the current situation, Liu Bei was indeed far behind.
No matter in terms of ability, luck, or strength, there is no comparison with Liu Zhang, who is also a clan member.
At this moment, a soldier suddenly reported outside the door.
"Reporting to the Duke of Qin, Zhuge Liang, who claims to be Liu Bei's military advisor, is asking for an audience."
