After listening to Zhang Fei's report, Liu Bei immediately understood Pang Tong's intention to do so and said to Zhang Fei with a smile:

"Pang Shiyuan is well-known and is not worthy of me. It's just that he is about to use his talents!"

Zhang Fei still couldn't understand it, thinking that Liu Bei wanted Pang Tong to continue to play his talents as the magistrate of Laiyang County. He felt that it was a bit useless. When he remembered his promise to Pang Tong, he felt a little ashamed and felt sorry for him.

Pang Tong was the second talent recommended by Zhang Fei, and the first person he highly recommended was Ma Su.

But things went against my wishes. Ma Su is still a so-called role now, and even letting him be an assistant for himself! It seems that Pang Tong has to follow Ma Su's footsteps again and cannot be valued by his elder brother.

Zhang Fei was a little sad, feeling that he was not worth enough in Liu Bei's mind, so he had to hand Liu Bei the book of Kong Ming's recommendation that he brought from Pang Tong.

After reading Kong Ming's recommendation book, Liu Bei realized that Zhuge Liang highly praised Pang Tong's military plan, and recommended him as the deputy military advisor, and was a full-time military planner. He said to Zhang Fei:

"It turns out that Mr. Pang was recommended by the military advisor. They were very close friends. I was afraid that they could not accommodate two tigers in a mountain. It was really a waste of worries! But it was not an extravagant move. At least it forced Pang Shiyuan's real talent and knowledge, so let's arrange it according to what the military advisor said!

Although Pang Tong's affairs were successfully resolved, Zhang Fei thought it had nothing to do with his recommendation, which made him feel very disappointed and even more sorry for Ma Su.

Zhang Fei believed that Ma Su was extremely talented, and all the contributions he made were counted on him. Therefore, his lack of reuse was also related to him.

Zhang Fei felt that he owed Ma Su and could not miss his wedding anyway. He was about to say goodbye to Liu Bei, but the soldier suddenly reported that Kong Ming was back.

Thinking of himself as he was talking about it, he was just shirking his verbal words. The elder brother was just shirking his responsibilities! On the other hand, Kong Ming asked the elder brother to reuse Pang Tong just by just a letter. The position of the military advisor in the elder brother's mind is really unparalleled, and he also felt a sense of sourness in his heart!

Thinking of this, Zhang Fei felt aroused: Ma Su is extremely talented, and Kong Ming seems to have a good relationship with their brothers. It is better for me to ask the military advisor to talk to him and recommend him. Even if he can't be an assistant for himself, he might be able to be valued by his elder brother!

Zhang Fei had this idea in his mind and decided not to leave. After following Liu Bei to bring Zhuge Liang in, he sat there and listened to their conversation.

Liu Bei was very concerned about the autumn grain harvest in several counties in Jingnan. It was a major event that was related to whether the military rations were sufficient, so he personally welcomed Kong Ming in.

After the ceremony, before Liu Bei could ask, Kong Ming asked first:

"Have Military Advisor Pang been safe recently?"

Liu Bei smiled and said, "I have been managing Leiyang County recently, and I heard that he is a good wine and is useless."

Kong Ming was also surprised when he heard that Liu Bei sent Pang Tong to Laiyang County. He was afraid that Pang Tong would turn to others with dissatisfaction, so he hurried back. However, when he heard that Liu Bei heard that Pang Tong had good alcohol and wasted his heart, he felt relieved and said with a smile:

"Shi Yuan is not a talent of Baili, but his knowledge is ten times better than Liang. Liang once had a book of recommendation at Pang Shi Yuan, but he didn't take it out and hand it over to his lord?"

Liu Bei said:

"Today, Yide came back from Leiyang and submitted a letter of recommendation from the military advisor. When Mr. Pang first came to like each other, he not only did not show the letter of the military advisor, but also did not reveal his talent and knowledge during the conversation. Therefore, I was arranged to serve as the county magistrate in Leiyang, which was also intentional to investigate. Who knew that he had a reputation for being a waste of wine."

Kong Ming smiled and said, "If a great wise man is in a small position, it does not take much time and energy. In order to spend the days when he is bored, he often spends his time in drinking and dealing with political affairs is enough!"

Liu Bei nodded and replied: "What the military advisor said is true. If my brother Yide had not discovered the inspection of the inspection, he would have almost lost the great sage."

In order to show his importance to Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, Liu Bei immediately sent him to Laiyang to invite Pang Tong to the public security, and then asked about the grain harvests of the four counties in Jingnan.

Because Zhang Fei asked Kong Ming for something, he changed his past temper and sat there quietly listening to the two of them talking about money and food. He occasionally asked a question and could ask questions, which surprised Zhuge Liang and looked at Zhang Fei with some admiration.

In fact, these key points of money and grain logistics were not learned by Zhang Fei himself, but were learned from Ma Su when he was guarding Xiakou.

After the two talked, Zhang Fei followed Zhuge Liang to say goodbye. On the way, Zhang Fei couldn't wait to ask Zhuge Liang to help recommend Ma Su.

After hearing Zhang Fei's plea, Zhuge Liang felt a little embarrassed and pondered for a moment.

Because the current arrangement for Ma Su was originally his opinion, now Zhang Fei is here to plead with mercy and ask him to re-arrange it, it is not difficult. The problem is that Ma Su must never be allowed to return to Zhang Fei to assist him.

But Zhuge Liang couldn't bear to give up this opportunity to improve his relationship with Zhang Fei, so he asked tentatively:

"General Zhang also knows that in terms of personnel arrangements, the lord is determined by one word. Although Liang has some advice, if the general wants Ma Su to assist you, he is probably powerless!"

Zhang Fei had asked his elder brother Liu Bei many times to ask Ma Su to help him, but he refused them with various excuses. He had a vague understanding that it was because he trusted Ma Su too much.

Knowing that he could not do anything, Zhang Fei recommended Ma Su this time, not because he wanted him to help him. Instead, he wanted him to return to the public security and plan military affairs. He believed that this was Ma Su's specialty.

When Zhang Fei heard Zhuge Liang's answer, he was delighted and said to Zhuge Liang:

"This time I asked the military advisor to recommend Ma Su, not to ask him to come back to help me, but because I have worked with him for a while, I have a deep understanding of him, and I know that he is good at military strategy. I heard that the military advisor also has classmates with him, so I should know that what I said is true. He also assisted the military advisor Xu Yuanzhi in the past. This time I want you to recommend him as the assistant to the military advisor."

When Zhuge Liang heard that Zhang Fei had made this request, he was just a simple task, and this was also his own plan.

Because they were taught by Pang Degong, there was still some division of labor among their classmates and friends.

The most famous scholars of Lumen Academy, Pang Tong, had a special liking for the Xichuan, the place where Liu Bang was the prosperous, and had a deep study. He once went to study.

However, Zhuge Liang was very optimistic about Guanzhong and Longyou, where the powerful Qin Dynasty rose, and he also went to inspect the terrain himself.

Xu Shu was keen on competing for the Central Plains and studied a lot of research on Qingxu and Hebei, and he had also visited these places himself.

Ma Liang was not as good as Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Xu Shu and others. He focused on politics and had unique insights into the governance of the barbarian land of Wuling, and had many visits to study and inspect.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang was far less familiar with Xichuan than Pang Tong, but Pang Tong's military strategy was easy to go against the odds, so it was quite risky to let him seek Xichuan alone!

Back then, Ma Su often discussed military strategies with Pang Tong. The two of them had their own strengths, which could complement each other well. Therefore, Zhuge Liang had already planned to stay in Jingzhou and ask Ma Su to assist Pang Tong in seeking Xichuan.

Although he could agree to Zhang Fei happily, Zhuge Liang wanted to earn his favor and was ready to delay it a little. He could think about it carefully and said to Zhang Fei:

"Since it was General Zhang's request, Liang should do his best to make it happen. It was only because the lord sent Youchang to Wuling County. The mistress also complained about him, and she was afraid that she would not be able to come back immediately. It would be better to wait a few months and I would definitely transfer Youchang back to assist Military Commander Pang in training."
