Pang Tong was extremely talented and had his own arrogance. When he saw Sun Quan, he did not worship him, but just bowed and bowed.

Sun Quan felt a little unhappy. Seeing that the man had thick eyebrows and nose, black face and short beard, he described it as strange, and he was even more displeased.

Sun Quan endured the unhappiness in his heart and asked Pang Tong with a gentle voice:

"What is the main thing Mr. Pang learned in his life?"

Pang Tong was focused on being trained by his uncle and learned a lot. Later, due to his personality problems, he was not as good as Kong Ming in political strategy, so his uncle gave him more guidance in military strategy.

Despite this, Pang Tong is still a rare military and political genius, and is sought after by classmates and friends in Jingzhou.

Pang Tong thought for a while, but was not humble, but said truthfully:

"Don't be stubborn, adapt to changes." The implication is that you can do everything.

Because of his preconceit, Sun Quan thought that Pang Tong was arrogant and had a bad expression, and then asked:

"How is Mr. Gongjin's talent compared to Gongjin?"

Pang Tong had already seen Sun Quan's face was wrong, and had a premonition that Sun Quan might not keep him. He felt that there was no need to be polite to him, so he replied with a smile:

"What I learned is very different from Gongjin." Although Pang Tong was arrogant, Zhou Yu was very talented in civil and military talent! But he could neither belittle Zhou Yu to elevate himself nor think that he was inferior to Zhou Yu, so he answered like this.

Although Sun Quan was afraid of Zhou Yu, he still recognized his talent very much. Seeing that Pang Tong put him along with Zhou Yu, he felt even more dissatisfied, so he directly issued an order to expel him:

"Mr. Pang will leave for the time being. When you want to use Mr., come and invite me again."

Pang Tong was arrogant and knew that Sun Quan would no longer recruit him and could not stay there. He sighed and did not speak, but just bowed and left.

As a minister, Lu Su couldn't say anything on the spot, but he was very puzzled by denied Pang Tong's behavior with just a few words. After sending Pang Tong away, he returned to Sun Quan and asked:

"The lord and Pang Tong only talked a few words to show his talent. Why did he hurriedly decide not to use Pang Shiyuan?"

Sun Quan had already thought of the words and said to Lu Su: "I have Gongjin and Zijing, which is enough! Pang Tong, a madman, is it better to say more? What's better to use?"

Lu Su wanted to win a chance for Pang Tong, so he said to Sun Quan:

"When the Red Cliff was fighting, Pang Shiyuan went to Jiangbei to offer a series of suggestions to Cao Cao, and achieved the first achievement of burning Red Cliff. The lord must know it."

Although Sun Quan favored Lu Su, his way of employing people has always been to give both kindness and power. He looked stern and said to Lu Su:

"This is because Cao Cao was not used to riding a boat and wanted to nail the boat. This may not be the result of this person. I will not say much, so I swear not to use it!"

Although Lu Su was loyal and honest, he was not a person without a look of eyes. When he saw Sun Quan's face was unpredictable, he did not dare to give Pang Tong any more beautiful words, so he hurriedly gave up.

After Pang Tong came out, he said goodbye to Lu Su. He knew that Sun Quan would be useless, so he had to return to Chaisang to meet Zhou Yu.

Although Sun Quan did not keep the person recommended by Zhou Yu, he was still very interested in Jiangling, where he had been fighting for several months.

Although Jiangling City was successfully attacked by Liu Bei, many of the towns around Jiangling County were still controlled by the Jiangdong Army.

Jiangling is the goal that Sun Quan had set long ago this time, and it is also the only gain of this war!

Who knew that something unexpected happened and asked Liu Bei to occupy Jiangling City with a plan. Although Sun Quan was unwilling to accept it, he was bound by the alliance and wanted him to take it back by force. After much consideration, he thought it would be better to let Lu Su go and negotiate.

Sun Quan had already set a bottom line in his mind. It would be better for Lu Su to get Jiangling back. If he didn't want to get back, it would be acceptable to lend Jiangling to Liu Bei according to his idea.

After Lu Su came out, he disappeared from searching for Pang Tong. He was about to go home, but was recalled by Sun Quan again.

Sun Quan asked Lu Su about lending Jiangling to Liu Bei, but he had only a rough framework in his mind and no specific plan. Sun Quan didn't want to worry, so he called his confidant Lu Meng to ask him to assist Lu Su and agree on a safe plan.

...

...

After Ma Su left Wuling, he worked his way to Jiangxia with the guards. Liu Bei had already left. Yi Ji accompanied Ma Su to the public security and finally met Liu Bei who was in good spirits.

Liu Bei was very satisfied with Ma Su's performance in Wuling and praised him. He admitted that he would take advantage of his wisdom to deal with Jiangdong's request for Jiangling.

On the surface, Jiangling was sent by Zhuge Liang to successfully attack Zhao Yun with a trick, but in fact, Chen Jiao secretly offered the city. No matter what, Jiangdong would definitely not want to do it!

Lu Su once went to Jiangxia on behalf of Zhou Yu, but was sent by Zhuge Liang in words, but he also left a message to Lu Su, which was to recognize Jiangdong's right to occupy the county and town below.

Zhuge Liang is now appointed as the General of the Military Advisor by Liu Bei, but a busy man has gone to Linying and supervising the three counties of Lingling, Guiyang and Changsha to adjust taxes and enrich military funds.

Before Zhuge Liang left, he was not worried about Jiangling County and gave Liu Bei an idea. If it really didn't work, he wrote a document to Lu Su and borrowed Jiangling.

Zhuge Liang was levied on Jiangling in the face, but in fact he had made a wishful thinking, and wanted to rely on Jiangling!

Zhuge Liang made a decision that Jiangdong did not dare to send troops to rob him. As long as Jiangling was controlled by him, he could collect troops, tax and strengthen his strength, ownership was actually not important.

Liu Bei did not want to return such a key place. Even though he was still under the control of several counties and towns in the hands of the Jiangdong Army, Liu Bei did not want to let go.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang kept thinking about how to control those counties and towns in their own hands. Although there were not many soldiers left in Jiangdong in those counties and towns and passes, they never retreated, and Liu Bei could not use force, so there was no good idea.

After all, Liu Bei is famous all over the world for his integrity. If he wants to force him to rob without being trustworthy, he really can't help but win!

Liu Bei was helpless and could not help but think of Ma Su, because the success of Jiangling City was due to the negotiations between Ma Su, Zhang Fei and Cao Cao.

Liu Bei recognized Ma Su's ability, so he transferred Ma Su back to deal with the issue of negotiating with Jiangdong and Jiangling.

Liu Bei clearly told Ma Su that Jiangling County must not be returned to Jiangdong, and that the counties and passes controlled by Jiangdong must be brought back, but they cannot break their trust in Jiangdong, and they must not break their trust in the world!

When Ma Su received this hot potato, he had no choice but to take the guards to inspect the county towns and first inspect Jiangdong's control over the county towns.

Liu Bei rectified his army and horses in the public security. He heard that Sun Quan was defeated by Hefei, and his troops were lost, and he gained nothing. He had returned to Jiangdong.

Liu Bei was also afraid that Sun Quan would be so embarrassed that he used force to rob Jiangling, so he recalled Kong Ming to discuss.

While the two were talking, Yi Ji came to Jiangxia to report that the young master Liu Qi died of illness.

When Liu Bei heard this, he cried bitterly, and Kong Ming advised:

"The lord is mourning, life and death are destined, so don't worry, for fear of harming your health. Now there is no one in Jiangxia, so you can send someone to guard the city and handle the funeral."

Liu Bei asked: "The important land of Jiangxia cannot be missed. Who can guard it?"

Zhuge Liang had already made a decision and said to Liu Bei: "It is necessary for the cloud to grow."

Although Liu Bei has many talents, most of them have not followed him for a long time. The generals who can truly trust are Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun.

Now Zhao Yun is guarding Jiangling and cannot be separated. Zhang Fei stationed troops in the public security department, which is equivalent to Liu Bei's bodyguard, which is more suitable for Guan Yu from Xiakou.
