There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

"Forgive me, General Liu. The front line is urgent, and General Cai needs to be there to supervise the army."

Liu Biao coughed twice, seeming to be extremely uncomfortable.

But he finally calmed down his breath and said: "At this time, let's not hide it. You are a member of the Pang family and the nephew of Duke Pang De. The old man can more or less guess what you are thinking. It's good that Cai Mao is here, but the old man didn't even intend to greet him at first."

Liu Biao paused, and said: "The Cai family is too powerful in Jingzhou. The old man's second son, Liu Cong, is only three years old. If the old man trusts Cai Mao, he must appoint Liu Cong as the head of the family at the age of three? Hehe, then I am the Liu family. You can basically change your surname to Cai, so I have no choice but to entrust Liu Qi with Liu Bei as his assistant, but doesn't Liu Bei have any ambitions?"

Pang Tong grinned, but it was inconvenient for him to say this.

"Well, I must carefully assist Duke Xuande to assist Young Master Liu Qi, advise him on his words and deeds, and protect Jingzhou's foundation from falling into the hands of outsiders."

Liu Biao suddenly turned his head and looked at him: "You assist Liu Bei? Pang Shiyuan, but have you ever thought about letting Liu Bei assist you?"

Chapter 855

Pang Tong was very surprised by Liu Biao's words, even for an expert like Feng Chu, after hearing these words, his mood still could not be calmed down for a long time.

From the meaning of Liu Biao's words, it seems that not only Liu Bei but also Pang Tong can be regarded as one of Liu Biao's ministers who have left alone!

Not under Liu Bei, but the kind that can sit on an equal footing with Liu Bei.

Although he was born in a rich family, Pang Tong never thought he had such charisma.

Some people are not born to be inferior to others, but Pang Tong is not that kind of person.

Moreover, he was young and had no prestige in the army. Logically speaking, he was still in the growth stage in the Jingzhou Army, so Liu Biao shouldn't have thrown such a lucrative temptation to him.

It's easy to blow yourself out.

Although Pang Tong's heart was lost in an instant, he regained his composure in an instant.

After a little thought in his mind, he knew Liu Biao's intention.

Pang Tong couldn't help but look at Liu Biao Gao a little bit, this old man is dying, but he still has such ghosts, he is indeed a hero.

He didn't dare to use Cai Mao, and he was worried about Liu Bei, so he simply pushed himself to an equal position with Liu Bei, so that he and Liu Bei could support Liu Qi together in the future, and at the same time they could restrain each other.

Moreover, once he becomes the auxiliary minister of Jingzhou, the Pang family in Xiangyang will definitely stand up and unite with Mr. Shui Jing, who has a good relationship with them, to support Pang Tong and Liu Bei. Let's see the situation.

And in this way, Liu Bei can't easily replace Liu Qi's position. As long as Liu Qi can understand the truth, hold on to the emperor tightly, gather power, and make proper use of Fu Wan and Dong Cheng, he can check and balance Jingzhou Liu Qi will be as stable as Mount Tai in a short period of time, and will slowly develop and grow in the future.

Pang Tong secretly sighed in his heart, Liu Biao's father really has good intentions.

Seeing that Pang Tong didn't speak, Liu Biao seemed a little anxious, and his cough became more and more serious.

"Ahem Shiyuan, don't you understand what the old man means?"

Pang Tong hastily cupped his hands and said, "I understand what Liu Jingzhou means. No matter what decision Liu Jingzhou makes, Pang will follow Liu Jingzhou's lead."

"That's good, that's good." Liu Biao smiled gratifiedly, then closed his eyes, panting and waiting for Liu Bei's arrival.

When I was young, I heard the urgent sound of horseshoes coming from the north, and saw a troop led by Liu Biao's personal guards, rushing towards the place where Liu Biao's chariot was driving.

Not long after, Liu Bei, led by a group of attendants, came to Liu Biao's chariot.

Liu Bei got off his horse, rushed to Liu Biao's carriage, and said loudly, "Where is my brother?"

Pang Tong jumped out of the chariot and said to Liu Bei, "Liu Jingzhou is waiting for General Zuo in the chariot."

Before he finished speaking, Pang Tong was stunned.

Liu Bei was covered in blood, his beard and hair were all messed up, there was no clean spot on his body, and he didn't know whether it was his own or someone else's.

Looking at it like this, Liu Bei was on the front line just now, but he suffered a lot.

Along with him, there is Zhang Ren, the general of Xichuan.

Liu Bei and Zhang Ren came to the car together.

Liu Bei called softly: "Brother?"

Liu Biao couldn't hold on any longer, he called out to Liu Bei, "Xuande, are you here?"

Liu Bei jumped into the car and walked up to Liu Biao, his eyes were a little red: "Brother, since you have a persistent illness, why didn't you tell us earlier? Maybe I can find a medical officer in the city to treat you."

Liu Biao shook his head and said, "There is no cure for this disease, and if I told you earlier, it would only add to my troubles, so why bother me?"

Liu Bei opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Liu Biao raised his hand to stop him: "Xuande, just listen to the old man."

After finishing speaking, Liu Biao tremblingly took out a box from behind the pillow and handed him to Liu Bei's hand.

"Xuande, among you is the old man who is in charge of the soldiers of the Jingzhou army. From today onwards, you will be the actual head of the Jingzhou army taking over from the old man."

Liu Bei held the box in his hand tremblingly, as if he didn't know what to say.

Liu Biao continued: "My son, Liu Qi, will still need Xuande's help in the future, and the emperor also needs Xuande and my son, Shi Yuan, to assist together. I have obtained the consent of the emperor, I have made a decision, sealed the seal, and will announce it to the world when the time comes. In addition, Shi Yuan is Situ, and I will help protect the emperor with you, and my son Liu Qi is the great Sima."

Speaking of this, Liu Biao paused, and said: "As for this imperial edict, I have already handed it over to Shi Yuan. You can go back to Jiangling together and announce it to the world."

Liu Bei turned his head to look at Pang Tong outside the car in surprise, and after a long silence, he finally nodded and said, "Don't worry, brother, Bei will definitely protect the Han court, protect the Jingxiang foundation, protect the emperor, and assist my nephew. "

"That's fine, that's fine."

The weather has begun to gradually change.

After the main force of the pottery merchants severely damaged the troops of Cao Jun and the troops of the Guanzhong princes, they changed their course and rushed to the Jingzhou Army and Yizhou Army.

Liu Biao had already evacuated Dazhai, and the troops of Jingzhou Army and Yizhou Army couldn't hold back, so they could only retreat in a panic and abandoned Dazhai

In this battle, the potters won a complete victory, and the soldiers and horses of the coalition forces were completely defeated.

The soldiers and horses from all walks of life can be regarded as thoroughly seeing the strength of the Jinling soldiers. They are really clear that the pottery merchant is the number one prince who deserves his name.

All the generals under Tao Shang's command made great contributions to this storm, especially Lu Bu.

After returning to Qufu City, the potter immediately ordered people to find out what was going on in the place.

Among the Guanzhong princes, except for Ma Teng and Han Sui, the rest suffered great losses. If the potter and Guo Jia hadn't negotiated with Guo Jia to show mercy, it would be hard to say how many Guanzhong princes would be able to return alive.

After Cao Cao abandoned the stronghold this time, he directly withdrew his soldiers and horses back to Shanyang County, regardless of the Yizhou Army Alliance and the Jingzhou Army Alliance.

As for the Jingzhou Army and the Yizhou Army, their forces also plummeted, and the troops returned directly to Nanyang County.

After the soldiers and horses from all sides rubbed together, they withdrew their troops without any discussion, without even saying hello, which was extremely rude.

However, the pottery merchant was not in a hurry to withdraw his troops. He still gathered his troops and sat in Qufu City, and commanded the members of the school affairs office to investigate Cao, Liu and other parties.

The situation on Cao Cao's side, potters nine out of ten are pretty good.
