Chapter 133 (1/2)
As soon as Pang Tong's words were uttered, Xu Shu's eyebrows were immediately raised. Xu Shu looked at Pang Tong with a calm face and asked, ”Shiyuan, where did you get this news?”
Pang Tong was still holding a cup of tea, slowly drinking the tea, and said faintly, ”don't worry about where I know the news. I'll ask you whether you are or not?”
After staring at Pang Tong for a long time, Xu Shu finally bit his teeth and nodded and said, ”yes! Half a month ago, the Lord issued the order! We attacked Jingzhou in three ways. ” Anyway, he couldn't hide this clever ghost like guy. Xu Shu simply said it all.
Pang Tong said with a smile: ”if I were you, I would write a letter quickly and ask your Lord to delay a step.”
Pang Tong's words brightened Xu Shu's eyes. Xu Shu quickly took Pang Tong's arm and asked, ”Shiyuan, do you know something? Tell me quickly and listen to me
”Ha ha!” Pang Tong put down his teacup with a smile, ”you don't want to know, how do I know the news of your attack on Jingzhou?”
When Pang Tong said this, he asked Xu Shu another question: ”yes! You haven't told me, how did you know the news? In this attack on Jingzhou, the Lord just said at the meeting that all the civil and military officials in Jiangdong were present, and there could be no spies! ”
Pang Tong, on the other hand, said with a smile: ”in fact, half a month ago, I was traveling in Guangling, Xuzhou.”
”Xuzhou? Guangling? ” At first, he didn't realize why Pang Tong suddenly said such a sentence. Suddenly, a thunder and lightning flashed in Xu Shu's head, ”Shiyuan! Do you mean Xuzhou family However, Pang Tong did not answer. Xu Shu immediately knew that he had not guessed wrong. It seems that Chen Ren had infuriated the Xuzhou family that day. Otherwise, how dare they make such a disclosure.
”Oh? It doesn't seem surprising to see your expression? ” Pang Tong looked at Xu Shu strangely. Although Xu Shu was a little surprised at the beginning, he showed his original appearance. Xu Shu quickly said that Chen Ren had expelled the children of the Xuzhou aristocratic family from the new army. In fact, this matter was not particularly serious. On that day, after the seven Xuzhou aristocratic family children were sent back by Chen Ren, the seven children immediately went to Sun Jian to complain, but Sun Jian gave a good reprimand. Sun Jian also ordered the seven people to return to their homes and think about their mistakes behind closed doors.
”Ha ha ha ha ha!” After listening to Xu Shu's explanation, Pang Tong looked up and laughed. He pointed to Xu Shu and said with a smile: ”Yuanzhi, Yuanzhi! I can't believe you are still so naive. No wonder you were sent to Lujiang and Kong Ming went to Xuzhou. If you go to Xuzhou, how can you be the opponent of those old people of Xuzhou family! ”
After being ridiculed by Pang Tong, Xu Shu's cheeks were slightly red. He also knew that his political level was inferior to Zhuge Liang's. Xu Shu was good at fighting in the battlefield. Even Pang Tong was not comparable to him. However, when it comes to the intrigues in the court, Xu Shu was far from the rival of Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong.
Pang Tong laughed for a while and said, ”Yuanzhi, according to what you know about Chen Zici, is he the kind of person who makes such a mistake because of impulse? And your Lord Wu Hou, how could he have the opportunity to transmit information after those Xuzhou children were injured by Chen Ren? The so-called thinking behind closed doors is just a nice thing to say. In fact, it is just a disguised house arrest! In fact, I'm afraid they can't even pass on a word to them! ”
Xu Shu was not a fool. In fact, he was only slightly inferior to Pang Tong and others in these aspects. As Pang Tong had such a point, Xu Shu immediately thought, ”is it that these children of Xuzhou aristocratic family spread the news on the day they got the notice from the Lord?”
Pang Tong nodded. Seeing Xu Shu's anxious appearance, Pang Tong said with a smile: ”don't worry. I wrote to Kong Ming before I came here. He is not like you. Those Xuzhou families in Guangling are not his rivals! ”
After hearing Pang Tong's words, Xu Shu was relieved. Then he remembered what Pang Tong had just said and asked, ”Shiyuan, now can you tell me why you want me to postpone the attack of Dongwu on Jingzhou? Did you get any news? ” Thinking that Pang Tong was Pang's nephew, Xu Shu could not help but pay more attention to Pang Tong's words.
Pang Tong's face was a little dimmer at this time, and then returned to his normal appearance. He said with a smile, ”in fact, I can do divination. I can't figure out that there will be a big change in Jingzhou within a month. It will be a great advantage if Dongwu forces again after that.”
”Great changes in Jingzhou?” Xu Shu murmured to himself again, thinking of the information that Cheng Yu had said that day, Xu Shu looked at Pang Tong and said in a low voice, ”is that Xiangyang?”
