Two days later, Zhao Yun and Guan Yu returned.
"Your Majesty, there are indeed people upstream who intercept the flow of water, but according to the survey results of the Ministry of Industry, the truncation time will not exceed three days at most."
After Guan Yu returned to the city, he immediately went to the mansion, and after reporting to Liu Xie, he looked coldly at Pang Tong, who was silent.
"Three days" Liu Xie smiled and nodded: "Send someone to Jiangling to take a look, if the Jiangdong army has already left, take advantage of the situation to occupy Jiangling, if not, wait for two more days." ” "Your Majesty, this" Guan Yu looked at Liu Xie incredulously, and Pang Tong on the side was also shocked and inexplicable, with an incredible face.
"When did Your Majesty know" Pang Tong ignored Guan Yu's murderous gaze, but looked at Liu Xie and said puzzled.
"It's very strange" Liu Xie looked at Pang Tong and said: "I sent troops from Nanyang, and it has not been a month until now, not to mention that Zhou Yu is not by Sun Quan's side, even if Zhou Yu is here, he can't be before January, even if I will send troops from Jiangxia, if he really has such a ability, wouldn't it be better to ambush me directly in Jiangxia, and also, don't think that I am easy to bully, although I don't understand this, but among the personnel of the accompanying engineering department, there are talents who specialize in studying the water level, if the water level is really problematic, they will not say it." ” "Since Your Majesty already knows, why bother" Pang Tong smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "Why do you still pretend to be a plan, and even deliberately miss the military plane?"
"For you," Liu Xie said with a smile.
"I" Pang Tong looked at Liu Xie incredulously: "Your Majesty already knows me" "Wolong and phoenix, you have to settle the world, although Sima Decao's words are exaggerated, but this person still has some eyesight to see people, I am not deaf, Sima Decao is so open for the two of you, it is difficult for me not to know."
"Xiaomin still can't believe it, Your Majesty would rather miss the fighter plane for this reason" Pang Tong was still a little incredulous.
"What kind of fighter" Liu Xie stretched his waist and said with a smile: "To be able to win the land of Jingzhou without spending a single soldier, in my opinion, is more important than a victory, soldiers, murder weapons, no matter how grandiose the reason, the soldiers together, the people who will suffer in the end are the people, who can recover Jingzhou peacefully, for me, for the officers and soldiers of the three armies, for the millions of people in Jingzhou, it is a fortunate thing, the Han has shed too much blood in these years of internal fighting, and it is good to be able to shed less." ” Pang Tong was a little unconvinced and said: "Your Majesty has ever thought that this time when the tiger returns to the mountain, he will want to go down to Jiangdong in the future, but it will be difficult." ” "In this way, I make a bet with you, I bet that even if Sun Quan returns to Jiangdong this time, I am afraid that he will not be able to sit firmly in the position of the lord of Jiangdong, can you believe it" Liu Xie looked at Pang Tong and did not argue with him, but smiled.
Pang Tong frowned slightly when he heard this, did not answer, pondered for a long time, but he still couldn't think of a clue, Sun Quan was afraid that he had returned to Chaisang by boat with a large army at this moment, Liu Xie missed the opportunity to annihilate Sun Quan, he really couldn't think of any other means After thinking for a long time, Pang Tong looked up at Liu Xie and said, "If it is the Jiangdong family, I'm afraid it will be difficult to cause too much trouble." ” "There is no need to test me, in this world, as long as I am unwilling, no one can get anything out of my mouth."
Liu Xie's hands and ten fingers were superimposed, looking at Pang Tong and said, "Of course, Shiyuan can ask, if you ask, I will definitely answer." ” The corners of Pang Tong's mouth twitched a few times, but he didn't speak.
When you ask, don't you seem to be very incompetent "In that case, tell me, why do you want to help Sun Quan" Liu Xie looked at Pang Tong: "If you are loyal to that Sun Quan, I have nothing to say, but as the lord of the people, he ran away, but he left you here, and the friendship should be exhausted, why don't Shi Yuan consider joining the imperial court" "Your Majesty doesn't have to provoke me with words, and don't make that divisive plan, Xiaomin owes Zhou Yu a favor, this time to help, it is also to repay him a favor, now that Sun Quan is afraid that he has left safely, this kindness will naturally be repaid."
Pang Tong sneered: "Sun Quan's son seems to be magnanimous, but in fact, he is also a person who judges people by his appearance. ” "Human nature, when I saw Shiyuan's first side, there are really not many people who can be as calm as me."
Liu Xie smiled and waved his hand.
Pang Tong: "" Is it so hurtful?
He was angry, but he couldn't let it out, even if he didn't want to admit it, but his past experience had confirmed it.
"Okay, let's get down to business, since I promised you, I will solve your doubts, this battle, from the very beginning, I have been invincible, as early as when I set out on the expedition, I have thought that on the river, may not be able to stop the Jiangdong naval army, yes, when I decided to send troops, I have already passed the news of the emptiness inside Jiangdong to Xuzhou through some channels, Shi Yuan might as well guess, Cao Cao will take advantage of the weakness to enter" Liu Xie smiled and looked at Pang Tongdao.
When Pang Tong heard this, he couldn't help but gasp, this trick is a little poisonous Whether Cao Cao will take advantage of the situation is almost 200% certain, yes Don't care what alliance is not an alliance, even if it is an alliance, Jiangdong can still covet Jingzhou, and then seek to seize Shuzhong, but Cao Cao can only choose to have a hard bar with the imperial court, Jiangdong has depth space, but Cao Cao does not, so, in order to seek development, Cao Cao will definitely attack Jiangdong after confirming this news, if nothing else, just for such a stable rear, Cao Cao will not be able to sit back and watch the opportunity to lose.
Pang Tong looked at Liu Xie with some suspicion: "Your Majesty has no intention of annihilating the Sun clan at all."
"It's not that there isn't, but it's impossible" Liu Xie shook his head: "Jiangling is close to the Yangtze River, even if I come in time, I can fight with Jiangdong, and at most Jiangdong will lose some men and horses, but as long as Sun Quan is allowed to flee into the river, with these infantry, if I really don't know how to cross the river to chase and kill, I am afraid that not only will I not be able to annihilate the Sun clan, but I will lose my troops and generals, which is not done by a wise man." ” "So, since things can't be done, so Your Majesty passed the news to Cao Cao while making a move to send troops, and it happened that Xiaomin was clever and came to delay, so His Majesty took advantage of the situation to pretend to be in the middle of the plan, so that Sun Quan returned to Jiangdong, and then he could make the Cao and Sun families turn against each other, and after this battle, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the Cao and Sun families to get back together, Your Majesty is smart" Pang Tong smiled bitterly, and suddenly found himself like a clown, in Liu Xie's plan, whether he has himself or not, this result will not change, and Sun Quan decided to fight against the water, when the troops were sent to Jingzhou, this ending seemed to be doomed.
But the problem is that even if Sun Quan doesn't have this decision, he can only watch Liu Xie annex Jingzhou little by little, and even if the Cao-Sun Alliance is not broken, how long can the Cao-Sun Alliance support in the face of the imperial court that has won eight points in the world Even Guan Yu and Zhao Yun didn't understand Liu Xie's strategy until now, and looked at Liu Xie with a blank face, although the world has not yet been unified, but now, they feel that the world is not long away from unification, others think that the court has no navy, but as the top generals in the court, the two of them know very well that the court does not have a navy, but the court has a navy "Shiyuan doesn't have to be discouraged."
Liu Xie looked at Pang Tong, who was devastated by his face, and said with a smile: "There is a gap between reality and ideals, you have too little experience, so it is so easy to hit, you must know that I have to face all kinds of intrigues since I was less than eight years old, from Dong Zhuo to the warlord of Xiliang, I have today, but I did not get it out of thin air, and I also believe that even if I lose this time, I will never be as depressed as you, I will make myself stronger, this failure, for you, it may not be a bad thing, you will only lose your future." ” Zhao Yun and Guan Yu also sighed when they heard this, in the past ten years, Liu Xie has experienced too many things, and what others see is just a demon who can write and martial arts, but they don't know how much bitterness and ups and downs they have experienced behind this demon.
"Come to me, and you'll go farther."
Liu Xie looked at Pang Tong and handed out an olive branch with a smile.
"Your Majesty is still willing to use me" Pang Tong looked at Liu Xie incredulously.
"The court of the Han Dynasty welcomes any talent at any time, regardless of appearance."
Liu Xie said with a smile.
Pang Tong: "" The previous words also made him feel a little moved, but please don't keep talking about things with looks "Your Majesty, you should know, I am a scholar" Pang Tong took a deep breath and suppressed the divine beast that was rushing up in his chest.
"I know."
Liu Xie nodded: "But I have never understood when the imperial court had a decree prohibiting scholars from being officials."
Pang Tong was stunned when he heard this, indeed, the imperial court has never said that scholars are not allowed to be officials, and there has never been a decree specifically aimed at scholars.
There was nothing wrong with these decrees, but for some reason, a little bit of the soldiers were pushed to the opposite side, and at this moment Pang Tong was a little confused, looking at Liu Xiedao: "It's just" It's only been a long time, but I don't know how to defend the scholars.
"It's just how" Looking at the silent Pang Tong, Liu Xie smiled and said: "Let me help you say, it's just that the imperial court has given too many scholars before, including power, status and wealth, and every year the imperial court has to spend most of its resources to protect these interests of scholars, until one day, the imperial court is no longer able to afford these, and when they want to take it back, the scholars think that the imperial court has moved their interests, so they rise up to resist, so they think that the imperial court is sorry for them, and all this is my fault, But no scholar has ever thought that these have been the imperial court from the beginning, and the imperial court does not owe them, but they are used to the court's giving, so they can't accept the imperial court to take back these things that are not inferior to them, so they want to resist, Shiyuan feels that what I said is right" Pang Tong didn't speak, his face was a little pale, every word of Liu Xie's words was like a hammer hitting his heart, but he couldn't refute it, because if you think about it carefully, this is all true.
"Shi Yuan must have been tired in the past two days, go down and rest, if you still think I am wrong, I will order, no one will stop you from leaving, but the next time we meet, it may be an enemy."
Liu Xie leaned back in his chair and waved his hand.
"The little people quit."
Pang Tong bowed and retreated silently, his back looking a little depressed. t1706231537:
