Chapter three hundred and eighty-eight messenger messenger
After Pang Tong came out of the prefect of Xiangyang, he returned to his courtyard. He did not live in the inn because the Pang family was originally a gentry in Jingzhou, and naturally had added houses and property in Xiangyang City. Now Pang Tong stayed in a courtyard of the Pang family.
The Pang family is worthy of being a great family in Jingzhou. Such a courtyard is located in the inner city of Xiangyang City. Although the land price is a little worse than that of the prefect, it is not even in other aspects.
"Second Young Master, you are back!" Pang Tongyi entered the courtyard and naturally had a servant butler coming to greet him.
"Where is my elder brother!" Pang Tong asked to the butler beside him.
"Young Master, you should be in the study room now!" The housekeeper lowered his posture. He was an old man from the Pang family. After being in the Pang family for a long time, he naturally had a sense of bookishness. The seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, and this old housekeeper is also considered the number one figure in Jingzhou. Even some county magistrates and magistrates would call him Uncle Fu and give him some face. But Uncle Fu is now very humble to his second master, because he knew that the Pang family might end up falling on the second master.
Seeing Pang Tong's face appearing to discuss matters, Uncle Fu couldn't help but ask, "Do you want me to inform the eldest master?"
"No need! Let me go by myself!" Pang Tong walked directly towards the study and entered the study. Sure enough, his elder brother was reading a book there.
Pang Tong's elder brother is not Pang Tong's biological brother, but Pang Tong's cousin, and the son of Pang Tong's uncle Pang Degong. People's names during the Three Kingdoms period were all two characters. The three characters were only available for some barbarians. For example, Hu Cheer, etc., the other three characters were only available for those with a duplicate surname!
It shows his courage to name his son Shanmin.
Pang Shanmin, Pang Shanmin, is just like his name. This eldest son of the Pang family is as simple as a mountain man.
"Shi Yuan, are you back?" Pang Shanmin put down the book in his hand and looked at his younger brother in front of him. They were participating in the discussions of Liu Biao in Jingzhou together, but Liu Biao left behind him. Pang Tong thought he was discussing the issue of food and grass.
"Liu Jingzhou agreed!" Pang Shanmin asked.
"Well!" Pang Tong nodded. Liu Jingzhou agreed to give 200,000 grains and grass as food and feed. He first transported 100,000 military rations, and then the remaining ones were returned to the Yangzhou army of the pseudo-king Liu Mang before transporting them! "Pang Tong said that his face was full of joy. With this batch of grains and grass, the lord could be replenished. With a big boss like Liu Biao, Liu Bei was still afraid that there would be no military rations! Liu Mang was expanding his army, and Liu Bei was also expanding his army.
Because Hu Cheer was a member of the Qiang tribe, he had his previous path and could find those Qiang tribes who came to join Liu Bei's army. These Qiang tribes were all good at riding and shooting. Those who were on horseback all year round could be used as elites as soon as they entered the army. People could find it, but even if they lack food and pay, the problem of food and pay has been solved now, so expanding the army is no longer a problem.
"In this way, Liu Envoy should be free from worries!" Pang Shanmin was also happy for his younger brother. Pang Shanmin was influenced by his father Pang Degong since he was a child. He admired the most of the benevolent and righteous people, and Liu Bei's reputation was originally very good. Later, under the publicity of his younger brother Pang Tong, he really admired Liu Bei very much. Liu Bei was able to get the full help of the Pang family, and Pang Shanmin's contribution was made by Pang Shanmin.
Now Pang Shanmin is waiting for his younger brother to introduce himself to Liu Enjun so that he can serve Liu Enjun.
"Are there no worries?!" Pang Tong looked at his brother but disagreed, because Pang Tong had a knot in his heart now, that is, the envoy sent by Liu Biao. What would it look like if this envoy arrived in Liu Mang's army?
Pang Tong could see that Liu Biao didn't want to go to war with Liu Mang in Yangzhou. Isn't Liu Mang want food and grass? If the envoy sent by Liu Biao arrived in Liu Mang's camp and discussed it, all his previous efforts might be wasted. Therefore, Pang Tong was finding the place of this envoy. Only by letting the envoy disappear can he truly be free of worries. Perhaps he would have to rely on his good brother to know who the envoy was.
"Brother Qishan hasn't seen him for a long time. How is he doing recently?" The intelligence department of Pang Tong could only find out that Liu Biao's envoy was a close friend of his elder brother, Tang Yun, Tang Qishan, and others, such as when the route of the envoy's operation will be set and which route to take, whether to go directly to Liu Mang's army, Shouchun or Lujiang Wancheng, these are not found out.
Except for Liu Biao and Kuai Yue, the rest of this information may be his brother.
Tang Qishan and his brother Pang Shanmin have a close relationship. If they travel far, they will definitely notify each other.
"You Brother Qishan?!" Pang Shanmin was a little surprised. Why did this second brother think of Tang Qishan today? Tang Qishan is very handsome and has a gentleman style between talking and laughing and behaved, and has a close relationship with Pang Shanmin, but his relationship with this second brother is not very good. That is because when Tang Qishan and Pang Shanmin were traveling, Tang Qishan and Pang Tong were completely two extremes. Tang Qishan was handsome and tall, and more than eight feet long. Pang Tong was black and fat and short. Whenever he went out, others regarded Pang Tong as a servant of the Tang Qishan family. Even if Pang Tong was wearing gorgeous clothes, others thought that Tang Qishan was generous and generous to treat the servants at home.
So although Tang Qishan did not offend Pang Tong directly, it indirectly made Pang Tong feel resentful. Therefore, there was no Pang Tong in the place where Tang Qishan was present. It can even be said that Pang Tong deliberately avoided Tang Qishan. However, now Pang Tong mentioned his best friend, which made Pang Shanmin very confused.
"Shi Yuan, aren't you with Qishan?" Pang Shanmin asked in confusion.
Pang Tong and Tang Qishan no longer contacted each other. In order not to make his elder brother suspicious, he said with a smile, "Brother, Liu Jingzhou has prepared food and grass for Xuandegong this time. Maybe after several times, I will go back to Yuzhou. I don't know when this next time I meet again, so I want to gather with my elder brother and brother Qishan." Tang Qishan can be regarded as Pang Tong's childhood friend. This is ancient and not modern. It is not a phone call that can be contacted no matter how many miles apart, nor is it that there are airplanes and cars that can ignore the distance.
This is in ancient times, hundreds of kilometers. The next time this fare may be decades later, or some people become parting forever due to medical problems, so the friendship between friends is very strong, such as those popular poems by friends describe the pain of separation.
When they heard that their younger brother was going to meet with their close friends, the two of them resolved their unhappiness for many years, Pang Shanmin was still very happy, "If you, Brother Qishan, know that Shi Yuan, you would definitely be very happy!" Happy? Of course, Pang Tong was worried about Tang Qishan to death.
Pang Shanmin showed a regret on his face, "What a pity, your brother Qishan has the mission of Liu Jingzhou this time and will be on the mission to Yangzhou!"
"Hmm?!" Pang Tong's eyes lit up immediately when he heard what his elder brother said. Sure enough, the envoy of Jingzhou was Tang Yun and Tang Qishan. Liu Mang suppressed the excitement in his heart and pretended to be regretful. He continued to say, "This is how I wanted to go out for a hunting with Brother Qishan, but unfortunately I missed such an opportunity. I don't know how long it will be for the next meeting. Maybe it will never be possible in this life!" Pang Tong's face was lonely, which made Pang Shanmin, the brother, very uncomfortable. His younger brother is now under the command of Liu Envoy Liu in Yuzhou, while Tang Yun is under the command of Liu Biao in Jingzhou. Both of them are their own masters. Fortunately, if Liu Jingzhou and Liu Envoy Liu are unhappy, then this separation will last for the rest of their lives.
Unable to hold it back for a moment, Pang Shanmin opened his mouth and said, "You Brother Qishan will leave Luokou..." Pang Shanmin immediately felt that he was talking too much. He hurriedly stopped talking, and then looked at his younger brother, afraid that his younger brother would hear something.
"Oh, I still remember the scene where Brother Qishan and Brother, you two played together!" Pang Tong seemed to be trapped in his own world, and was still regretting that some tears appeared on his face. Seeing his younger brother like this, Pang Shanmin breathed a sigh of relief. You must know that although Pang Tong is his younger brother, Pang Shanmin has his own principles. He is now an official in Liu Jingzhou, naturally he cannot fall into Liu Biao's secrets, not to mention that Tang Yun is his close friend. Kuai Yue personally explained the way he was on the mission, but he was afraid that someone would pay attention. If Tang Yun and Pang Shanmin had not had a good relationship, Pang Shanmin would not know Tang Yun's behavior.
"Yes, Shi Yuan doesn't need to be like this. Your brother Qishan will be back soon! Shi Yuan, you can definitely see him!" Pang Shanmin was still comforting his younger brother, but he did not expect that his younger brother had only a few drops of tears, which were completely the tears of a crocodile, and there was a light flashing in his eyes.
Luokou? If it were someone else, it might not be known, but Pang Tong is from Jingzhou, Luokou. The only one who can get Luokou in Xiangyang is Luokou. This Luokou ferry can be regarded as a diversion! You can go directly to Xinye by going to Luokou ferry. It seems that Liu Biao wants to talk to Liu Mang before the war.
But it's that easy! Since Pang Tong knew the news, Liu Biao would not think that he could be peaceful with Liu Mang.
After being polite with his elder brother for a long time, Pang Tong said goodbye on the grounds that he was tired. As soon as he left the study, Pang Tong immediately returned to his room, "Call He Feng and Cao Zhi to me!"
