Yuan Hui cupped his hands and signaled: "Thank you, sir, for rescuing Jiaozhou for me!"

"You're welcome!" Pang Tong bowed his hand in return, and immediately asked the servant to pack his luggage.

Half an hour later, Yuan Hui personally sent Pang Tong out of the post.

Early the next morning, Pang Tong arrived at Kuangpu Pass.

When Liu Bei heard the news, he took Zhuge Liang out of the pass to meet him.

"I've met the emperor, Kong Ming!" Pang Tong greeted the two with his feather fan upside down.

"I'm so happy that Shi Yuan can come!" Liu Bei grabbed Pang Tong's hand and forcibly invited him onto his horse.

"Uncle Huang, this won't work!" Pang Tong hurriedly waved his hands, obviously flattered.

Liu Bei shook his head: "Shi Yuan is a close friend of Kong Ming. I have great admiration for him. Today I show my respect by holding a horse!"

Without any explanation, Liu Bei led the horse into the city, and Zhuge Liang followed.

On the way into the city, he was surrounded by countless soldiers and civilians, which made Pang Tong very uncomfortable.

It wasn't until he entered the barracks and joined Liu Bei's central army that Pang Tong felt a little comfortable.

The wine and meat were ready, and Liu Bei pulled Pang Tong to invite Zhuge Liang and the three to sit down together.

Liu Bei raised his wine glass and signaled: "Shi Yuan has come from a long way, I will toast you first!"

Pang Tong put his hand on Zhuge Liang's arm: "Uncle Emperor, I am the Prime Minister's envoy, and I am here on business!"

"No problem!" Liu Bei said, "Let's catch up on the past first, and then discuss business matters before it's too late!"

Pang Tong: "This..."

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and said with a smile: "Shi Yuan, please don't see outsiders, my lord has always been so enthusiastic!"

"Okay!" Pang Tong nodded, and immediately exchanged glasses with the two.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, several people were a little tipsy.

The three chatted about the Battle of Sanjiangkou and the Battle of Chaisang City.

Zhuge Liang couldn't help sighing: "This Cao Ji is really not simple!"

Pang Tong nodded: "The treachery and wickedness of this person are indeed beyond Kong Ming, you and I!"

Zhuge Liang asked: "Has Shi Yuan seen the relationship between Liu Xian and Cao Ji?"

Pang Tong sighed: "Liu Xian is Cao Ji, Cao Ji may not be Liu Xian!"

Liu Bei was puzzled: "What do you mean by that?"

Pang Tong said: "I guess it was Liu Xian's plan to help Cao Cao pacify Hebei, go south to Jingzhou and defeat Zhou Yu. Cao Ji is just a fake name!"

"Is Shi Yuan joking?" Liu Bei still had a three-point smile on his face.

Pang Tong shook his head: "Uncle Emperor, I'm not joking. Liu Xian and Cao Cao have a very close relationship. Liu Xian can guess Cao Cao's preferences, and Cao Cao also understands Liu Xian's thoughts, just like Uncle Emperor and Kong Ming!"

"Hey!" Liu Bei let out a long sigh.

This was the news he was least willing to accept and to hear.

He would rather believe that Cao Ji is Lao Huang than that Liu Xian is Cao Ji.

Liu Xian is Cao Ji, which means that Liu Bei has no knowledge of people.

A great talent like Liu Xian was missed.

Instead, Liu Xian went to Cao Ying and flourished.

Seeing the embarrassing situation, Zhuge Liang hurried out to smooth things over: "In this way, Shi Yuan was also squeezed out in Cao Ying!"

Pang Tong shook his head and smiled wryly: "It's not enough to squeeze out, but my weight in front of Duke Cao is far less than that of Liu Xian!"

Liu Bei held Pang Tong's wrist tightly: "Sir, why don't you stay here and work together with me for a great cause, I will treat you like Kong Ming!"

Pang Tong bowed his hands and saluted: "Loyal ministers don't care about two masters, please forgive me. I can say this because I remember the old relationship!"

For a moment, Liu Bei was unhappy.

Pang Tong handed Cao Cao's personal letter to Liu Bei: "This is what Duke Cao asked me to give to Uncle Huang!"

"Cao Cao gave it to me?" Liu Bei was shocked, and hurriedly took the letter, and his face turned even colder after reading it.

Zhuge Liang said, "Master, are you alright?"

Liu Bei shook his head: "My son Liu Chan is in the hands of Cao Cao, let Liu Xian take care of him?"

"En!" Pang Tong nodded: "Liu Xian asked Zhao Yun to take care of Liu Chan again, intending to recognize his son, and Zilong will help you with all his heart, so the emperor can rest assured!"

Liu Bei shook his head: "Liu Xian robbed my concubine and general, and now he wants my son to be his father?"

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, misunderstanding!" Pang Tong hastily waved his hands and explained, "It is to let Liu Chan recognize Zilong as his adoptive father!"

"Father?" Liu Bei frowned: "Isn't this still admitting a thief as a father?"

Pang Tong was speechless immediately.

Zhao Yun is also a general of Cao Ying now, even if he recognizes Liu Chan as his godson.

For Liu Bei, he still recognizes the thief as his father.

Zhuge Liang said: "My lord, be at ease, the matter has come to an end, it is better for Zilong to take care of the young master than Liu Xian!"

Liu Bei didn't speak, his expression was extremely deep.

In Cao Cao's letter, it seemed to be a greeting, but it was actually a threat.

He said that Liu Xian must help her take good care of his wife and children, but in fact he killed people.

Moreover, Cao Cao's letter did not mean to convict him.

The implication is that he didn't take Liu Bei seriously at all.

After receiving such a great insult, Liu Bei had nothing to do with Cao Cao and Liu Xian.

"Hey!" Liu Bei let out a long sigh, completely emo...

Zhuge Liang looked at Pang Tong: "Shi Yuan came from Shi Xie, I wonder what Shi Xie's attitude is now?"

"Hey!" Pang Tong sighed: "Shi Xie wanted to be a good old man, so he asked me to invite the emperor's uncle to vote in Yizhou, and said that this is the strategy of the three things..."

Liu Bei's face darkened instantly.

He failed to recruit Pang Tong, but was insulted by Cao Cao's letter, and now he is about to be driven away by Shi Xie.

At this moment, Liu Bei was no longer disheartened, wishing to commit suicide.

Seeing that Liu Bei was silent, Pang Tong continued: "Shi Xie is short-sighted, and it will be difficult to achieve great things in the future. The emperor don't need to pay attention to him!"

"No!" Liu Bei waved his hand: "The gentleman has done his best to me, how can I make it difficult for him now? What's more, there is Shiyuan in it?"

Pang Tong said: "Uncle Emperor..."

Liu Bei got up: "Scholar Yuan needn't say more, I will set off for Yizhou to join the emperor's brother Liu Jiyu in a few days!"

Pang Tong shook his head: "It's hard to be the emperor's uncle!"

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Shi Yuan doesn't have to blame himself, Liu Jiyu and my lord are of the same clan, it is the best policy to take refuge in him, Jiaozhou is just a place to rest!"

Pang Tong stood up and cupped his hands: "Okay, very good, since that's the case, I will return to Chaisang City and report to the prime minister immediately!"

Liu Bei said: "Kong Ming, help me send Shiyuan!"

"Yes, my lord!" Zhuge Liang got up and sent Pang Tong out of the Chinese army.

Then Zhang Fei and Mi Fang walked in.

Zhang Fei asked, "Brother, did you just let that phoenix go away?"

Mi Fang said: "Master, Pang Shiyuan is a great talent, if he can't keep it for his own use, it will be a disaster in the future, he should be killed!"

Zhang Fei didn't speak, but he obviously agreed with Mi Fang.

"That's all!" Liu Bei waved his hand: "I was able to let Xu Yuanzhi leave Xinye in the past, and I can let Pang Shiyuan leave Kuangpu Pass today!"

Zhang Fei and Mi Fang looked at each other, then shook their heads in silence.

Liu Bei got up slowly: "Yide and Yunchang immediately rectify the troops, and three days later the whole army will go to Yizhou to join Liu Jiyu!"

"Obey!" Zhang Fei cupped his fists and led Mi Fang out of the big tent.

On the other side, Zhuge Liang also sent Pang Tong out of Kuangpu Pass.

Zhuge Liang cupped his hands: "Shi Yuan, let's go!"

Pang Tong shook his head: "Kong Ming, if we say goodbye today, we will be rivals when we meet again in the future!"

"Hahaha!" Zhuge Liang laughed: "If Shi Yuan meets me, you don't have to show mercy, and I won't let you go when I meet Shi Yuan!"

"That's very good, let's say goodbye!" Pang Tong cupped his hands and signaled, and immediately got on his horse and left slowly.

As the sun set, Zhuge Liang let out a long sigh as he watched Pang Tong's retreating figure.

A few days later, Pang Tong returned to Chaisang City as scheduled.

Immediately entered the Chinese army to meet Cao Cao and report the trip face to face.

Cao Cao asked: "Shi Xie wanted to send troops to attack Liu Bei, but Liu Bei fled to Yizhou first?"

"Exactly!" Pang Tong nodded.

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao laughed, "Is Shi Yuan telling the truth?"

Pang Tong smiled wryly: "You can't hide it from the prime minister. This is the three-quantity strategy proposed by Yuan Hui of Jiaozhou. I personally persuaded Liu Bei to leave Jiaozhou!"

Cao Cao nodded and looked at Liu Xian: "Ziyu, Pang Tong is collaborating with the enemy, should he be killed?"

Liu Xian naturally understood Cao Cao's meaning, and immediately said: "Shiyuan took into account the old feelings, and frankly told the prime minister, if you kill him, you will kill a loyal person by mistake!"

Pang Tong was shocked, and raised his head to look at Liu Xian.

Unexpectedly, this Liu Quide actually pleaded for himself at a critical moment.

Cao Cao asked Liu Xian again: "If Liu Bei goes to Yizhou, he will be a great enemy of the imperial court in the future. Wouldn't it be a big mistake?"

Liu Xian said: "Shi Yuan's move will help the Prime Minister to calm down the world!"

"Oh?" Cao Cao was puzzled, "How do you say that?"

"Prime Minister, Jiaozhou is vast and sparsely populated, and there are not enough Shixie to cause trouble, and it can be destroyed at the flick of a finger."

"However, Liu Zhang in Yizhou, with a strong army and a strong treasury full of money and food, is the prime minister's enemy!"

"When Liu Bei enters Yizhou, he will never repeat the mistakes of Jingzhou. Sooner or later, he will take Liu Zhang's position!"

"And when Liu Bei and Liu Zhang turned against each other, it was an opportunity for the prime minister to send troops to Yizhou!"

"From this point of view, isn't the move of ten yuan to help the prime minister to calm down the world?"

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao laughed loudly: "Well said, Shiyuan has meritorious service, and he should be rewarded heavily!"

Pang Tong was numb.

I was just begging for perfection, why did Liu Xian say that he was helping Cao Cao to calm the world?

Not only did you do nothing wrong, but you also have credit?

This Liu Quide doesn't seem to be so wicked anymore!

Cao Cao said: "Shiyuan wants any reward, just ask!"

Pang Tong smiled wryly: "The prime minister's pardon of my innocence is the greatest reward, nothing more!"

Cao Cao said: "I will reward you with thirty catties and thirty bolts of silk as encouragement!"

"Thank you, Prime Minister!" Pang Tong knelt down to thank him, and slowly withdrew from the central army tent.

Looking at Pang Tong's disappearing figure, Cao Cao couldn't stop laughing.

Liu Xian hurriedly cupped his hands: "Thank you, Prime Minister, for your success!"

"Huh?" Cao Cao pretended to be puzzled, "What did I accomplish?"

Liu Xian said: "Prime Minister didn't intend to kill Pang Tong, he spared him with my excuse to repair our relationship!"
