When Liu's army slowly marched, Pang Tong and Sima Yi also received the news.

Now both of them don’t know that Liu Yu is not in the army, and they are even more restless about the slow marching army.

The army is advancing slowly, and there must be some mystery.

And this mystery is likely to be telling Sima Yi and Pang Tong that they should be prepared or act.

But neither of them received any decrees or orders, which made Sima Yi and Pang Tong very embarrassed.

Sima Yi and Pang Tong met again, and they reached an agreement, thinking that this was the test given to them by Liu Yu.

"Zhongda, this big thing is not good! Your Majesty deliberately slowed down the speed of the march, which was because of huge plans. However, he did not tell us that we were in great trouble." It was not that Pang Tong thought too much, but that the whole plan had not told them both.

Sima Yi also had a gloomy face.

The imperial court dispatched so many troops this time, and in order to destroy the Eastern Wu, the problem arose! The task assigned by the imperial court was to confront the Eastern Wu.

Confronting Eastern Wu is something Sima Yi and Pang Tong have been doing all the time.

In such a big battle, Sima Yi believed that he was definitely a useful talent, but he just confronted him with the Eastern Wu and disappeared the rest of the orders. If Zhuge Liang and other strategists were by Liu Yu, Liu Yu would not use Sima Yi, Sima Yi would still feel reasonable. However, this list of strategists was too much of the name of strategists. There were only Guo Jia and Xun Yu.

Sima Yi absolutely believes in their abilities as Guo Jia and Xun Yu.

In Sima Yi's opinion, it is definitely not enough to have Guo Jia and Xun Yu around Liu Yu. This confrontation with Eastern Wu can be done as long as one of Sima Yi and Pang Tong, and the other can be met with Liu Yu. But the court did not do this, and Liu Yu had no intention.

Everything will turn back when extremes!

Sima Yi believed there was definitely a problem here. What was more likely was that Liu Yu was completely disappointed with Sima Yi and Pang Tong, and this time he left them aside.

The reason why they did not make any intention was that they did not want the two of them to think randomly, so as not to surrender to the enemy.

"Indeed, such a change is really bad for you and me." Sima Yi did not doubt Pang Tong's thoughts.

Pang Tong was a little anxious at first. Since Liu Yu asked him to come to Jingzhou, Pang Tong seems to have not done anything to satisfy Liu Yu. Liu Yu had given Pang Tong the opportunity to redeem his sins before, but now, Pang Tong has not made any contribution to make up for his mistakes.

"Zhongda, we must not continue like this." Pang Tong felt that he had to take action.

Sima Yi nodded slightly. Instead of worsening, it would be better to think of more ways.

At this moment, a person rushed in outside the house.

Pang Tong had already ordered that he would not disturb his negotiations with Sima Yi unless there was a major matter. Pang Tong's servants were all following the rules. If they were so panicked, there would definitely be something wrong.

Sima Yi felt very unhappy when he saw someone coming in without reporting.

But Pang Tong was shocked because the visitor was not a servant, but his relative, Pang Degong's son, Pang Tong's cousin, and Pang Shanmin.

Pang Shanmin was not very conspicuous among the Pang family. However, in Jingzhou, no one dared to underestimate Pang Shanmin. In addition to the influence of the Pang family, Pang Shanmin's abilities are also outstanding.

In addition, Pang Shanmin's wife is not someone else, but Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jun's sister! Zhuge Liang is deeply trusted by Liu Yu and now has become Guangluxun. Zhuge Jun has always followed the crown prince Liu Xuan and Zhuge Jin! Although he was in Eastern Wu, he was a high-ranking official. With such a huge relationship, no scholar in Jingzhou dared to underestimate Pang Shanmin, and even dared not offend Pang Shanmin at all. Not to mention that Pang Tong was the boss of Jingzhou.

"Brother Shanmin, why are you here??" Pang Tong had a faint ominous sign.

After Pang Tong arrived in Jingzhou, after a while, Pang Degong fell ill and was always bedridden. Pang Tong was also distracted by Pang Degong's health. At this time, the arrival of Pang Shanmin made Pang Tong think of a very bad consequence.

Pang Shanmin looked sad and said, "Shi Yuan, my father's condition has worsened in the past few days. The doctor said that it was the situation in these days. My father has been chanting your name for the last two or three days. I can't bear to have my father's regret and die, so I came to ask Shi Yuan to go back to see my father for the last time."

"What? My uncle is critically ill!" Pang Tong's body shook.

"Shi Yuan!"

"My brother!"

Sima Yi and Pang Shanmin hurriedly supported Pang Tong.

Since Pang Degong was ill in bed, Pang Tong knew that such a day would come. People will die. As a wise man, Pang Tong certainly knew this truth. Pang Tong, who truly faced the separation of life and death of his closest relatives, decided his life and death by his words and deeds, felt like a knife in his heart.

You should know that Pang Tong's father died early, and Pang Tong was raised by Pang Degong. In Pang Tong's heart, Pang Degong was as great as his father.

At such a critical moment, Pang Degong was about to die. Pang Tong was in great pain.

The court wanted to fight the Eastern Wu for the last war. Pang Tong held an important position. Although he was neglected now, he had to leave his post without hesitation. One bad thing is that Pang Tong's arbitrary resignation led to a series of changes, which led to the end of the war without success. Then Pang Tong could only apologize for his death.

If Pang Tong wants to ignore Pang Degong's illness here and not meet Pang Degong for the last time, Pang Tong knew that he would regret it for life.

Even though Pang Tong was more wise than others, he could not make a decision at this moment.

Such discomfort proves that Pang Tong is not a cold-blooded person.

"My heart is in chaos!" Pang Tong said in pain.

When Sima Yi saw Pang Tong's performance, his impression of Pang Tong changed. In Sima Yi's opinion, isn't it just an uncle who is going to die? Even if the other party has great kindness to him, it is related to his future and future, he should naturally choose the future and future.

However, Sima Yi also grasped one of Pang Tong's weaknesses. The people of the Pang family were Pang Tong's weaknesses.

In the Pang family before, Pang Tong was a bad example who let others use to educate their children. Pang Tong didn’t know how many people were looking at him. Pang Tong didn’t care much about the Pang family.

Perhaps Pang Degong is the only person Pang De cared about in the Pang family.

Seeing Pang Tong so moved, Pang Shanmin comforted him: "Shi Yuan, you hold an important position and be loyal to the country. You must not be confused. Brother Wei also knows your difficulties. If you can't get rid of yourself, I believe your father will not blame you."

After Pang Shanmin said this, Pang Tong thought about Pang Degong's goodness even more. Back then, Pang Degong was flirting with many people for Pang Tong's lifelong affairs. Pang Tong knew all these.

Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have not been achieved at the same time. Pang Tong knew that it was time for him to make a choice.

"Zhongda, I will leave the matter to you!" After calming down, Pang Tongqiang handed over the important task of confronting the Eastern Wu to Sima Yi.

Sima Yi looked at Pang Tong deeply, and then said, "Don't worry, Shi Yuan, let me leave the matter. I should report it to Your Majesty."

Pang Tong bowed and said gratefully: "Thank you! Brother, let's go."

Of course, Pang Shanmin knew that Pang Tong's resignation without authorization would have a huge harm to Pang Tong's future. At the same time, Pang Shanmin was also very moved and knew how much Pang Tong cared about Pang Degong.

Pang Tong doesn’t care about that much now, and he doesn’t care about many people in this world, and Pang Degong is one of them. No matter what, Pang Tong has to see Pang Degong for the last time.

Pang Tong and Pang Shanmin embarked on the journey back to Xiangyang.

In order to return to Xiangyang as soon as possible, Pang Tong used his public utility for private use and drove a ship to quickly go upstream.

Pang Tong also forced the soldiers to speed up, otherwise they would be punished.

The navy soldiers were frightened by Pang Tong. They thought that something major military and national affairs had happened, so they immediately used their best efforts to drive the ship to Xiangyang.

With the efforts of the navy soldiers, Pang Tong finally arrived at Pang Mansion in Xiangyang in a day.

"Uncle! Uncle!" Pang Tongyi entered the house and headed straight for Pang Degong's room.

Everyone in the Pang family was surprised by Pang Tong's return. After all, Pang Shanmin went to find Pang Tong a day ago, and he didn't expect Pang Tong to come back so soon.

Pang Shanmin followed Pang Tong.

Before he could get close to Pang Degong's room, Pang Tong smelled a huge smell of Chinese medicine. Pang Degong was ill in bed for a long time and had to take medicine every day. Recently, Pang Degong was critically ill. In order to save Pang Degong's life, Pang Shanmin directly asked the doctors to stay in the mansion and boil medicine nearby.

Pang Tong walked into Pang Degong's room.

At this time, Pang Degong's face was pale, describing his thigh and thin appearance, his eyes were closed, as if he had fallen asleep. Two servants were waiting for him.

When Pang Tong saw that Pang Degong, who had taught him, had now become like this, he could no longer bear the grief and said sadly: "Uncle, I'm back."

"A Chou? Is A Chou back?" Pang Degong, who was sleeping, heard Pang Tong's call and immediately opened his eyes.

A Chou is Pang Tong's nickname.

Pang Tong quickly ran to Pang Degong's side and knelt on the ground, held Pang Degong's palm tightly with both hands, and said sadly: "Uncle, A Chou is back."

"The mountain people have found you! Fortunately, I haven't died yet." Mr. Pang De seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. "I'm almost exhausted, and I'm leaving some things to you. Cough cough!"

Pang Degong kept coughing, his face looking very ugly.

"Father!" Pang Shanmin, who was following Pang Tong, hurried up to touch Pang Degong's chest and wiped Pang Degong's mouth with a piece of white cloth.

But as soon as he wiped it, Pang Tong and Pang Shanmin's faces changed. There was blood on the white cloth.

"What's wrong? Isn't it just that he coughed up blood? It's no big deal." After coughing for a while, Pang Degong seemed to feel much more relaxed.

Life has reached the last few steps, and Pang Degong seemed to have been out of sight and was very calm.

However, there is no need to mention the sadness in Pang Tong and Pang Shanmin's heart.

Mr. Pang De breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I know that Shi Yuan, you are in an important position. However, I will not be able to do it. For the sake of the Pang family, I have to call you back. The mountain people will go and bring the things over."

Pang Shanmin nodded slightly, immediately took out a package from a cabinet, and then placed it in front of Pang Tong.

With Pang Tong's intelligence and talent, he naturally knew what was here. What Mr. Pang De wanted to tell him was nothing more than inheriting the position of the head of the Pang family.

"You have been smart since you were young, and I know you guessed it. That's right, I decided you to be the next head of the Pang family." Mr. Pang De said slowly: "You don't have to worry about the mountain people. He doesn't want to compete with you! Originally, the position of the head of the family belonged to your father, but unfortunately your father died early, so I had to take it over. This time I returned to your hands, which is also a reward for my brother."

After Mr. Pang De said that, Pang Shanmin bowed directly to Pang Tong and said, "I have met the head of the family!"

Pang Tong looked at all this in a tangled manner. His character was free and easy, and what he disliked the most was the activities between aristocratic families. But when Mr. Pang De was about to die, he handed over this position to him. Pang Tong couldn't refuse.

Pang Degong is a wise man, and he is also a member of a noble family. For the future of the Pang family, Pang Degong had to consider it more. Although Pang Tong had an extreme personality, no one in Jingzhou's aristocratic family could compare with him in various means. As long as Pang Tong becomes calm, the Pang family will develop to a point that Pang Degong unimaginable in the future.

And Mr. Pang Degong hopes that Pang Tong may change after becoming the head of the family, which is the blessing of the Pang family.

Pang Tong was silent.

Mr. Pang De was a little anxious and said anxiously: "Are you going to die? Are you still unwilling to do something for the Pang family?"

When Mr. Pang De was anxious, his condition worsened and he kept coughing.

Pang Shanmin was so scared that his face was pale. He was really worried that Mr. Pang De would be finished just like that, and kept touching Mr. Pang De’s chest.

"My brother, just follow your father's wishes. The entire Pang family hopes that you will be the head of this family." Pang Shanmin begged Pang Tong a little.
