Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 50 Enemies meet
After the poem was finished, while others were still reading it carefully, Pang Tong started to comment directly: "Xiao Ze's words are just like his personality, like a slow ox, but he can carry a heavy load and go a long way."

Several people nodded slightly after hearing this, and it seemed that they did not think there was anything wrong with the evaluation of Pang Tong.

Xing Daorong saw this and thought that Pang Tong was still more famous.

At least for now he seemed like the judge among the crowd.

Later, Lu Ji and Quan Cong also wrote poems, and Pang Tong naturally commented on them in turn.

But he did not say whether he was good or bad, high or low, he only said that Lu Ji was like a slow horse, and that a virtuous man could be relied upon to travel thousands of miles; he said that Quan Cong admired the good reputation, and his words were gorgeous, but lacked some profound artistic conception.

Gu Shao, Lu Ji and Quan Cong all felt that what Pang Tong said was very right and that there was nothing wrong with it.

Quan Cong, in particular, said a little embarrassedly: "Father did say these things, but it's hard for me to change at the moment."

Seeing how respectful several people were to Pang Tong gave Xing Daorong a new understanding of Pang Tong's status.

Come to think of it, "Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick" are equally famous. No matter how talented Pang Tong is, his reputation is there, so he is naturally the most respected.

Seeing the three people finish reciting the poems and turn their gazes towards him intentionally or unintentionally, Xing Daorong still tried to refuse.

But he said: "You all have a splendid aura. Xing, a military commander, cannot compare to you... cannot compare to you."

It’s just that others may not understand Xing Daorong, but how could Pang Tong not understand him?
He stepped forward and pulled Xing Daorong up, saying, "Zi Yu, let's not hide our abilities. If we have gained something, just tell us. Don't be afraid of hitting us."

It seemed that Pang Tong was not going to let me go.

When Xing Daorong saw that he couldn't avoid it, he decided to increase his strength.

Either don’t do it, or do it the best!

Xing Daorong looked at everyone and said, "If that's the case, then I'll make a fool of myself."

After that, he stood up with Pang Tong's hand, walked slowly to the pavilion, looked at the calm lake, suddenly raised his hands and shouted: "The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, and the waves wash away all heroes. Right and wrong, success and failure are all in vain. The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red again."

"Linjiangxian"!
This lyric was written by Yang Shen, the son of Yang Tinghe, the Grand Secretary of Dongke and the first of the three talented men in the Ming Dynasty. It was later widely circulated as the theme song of the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

If you ask Xing Daorong to recite "Yueyang Tower Inscription", he may not be able to recite it perfectly, but as for "Linjiangxian", he has been singing it since he was a child, how could he make any mistakes?
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone present was stunned.

The poem "Linjiangxian" is bold yet implicit, high-pitched yet profound.

Judging from the whole poem, the tone is generous and tragic, with infinite meaning. It is heart-wrenching when reading it, and one can't help but feel countless emotions in his heart.

While feeling the desolation and solemnity, it also creates an atmosphere of indifference and tranquility, reflecting the lofty artistic conception and profound philosophy of life.

Coupled with Xing Daorong's tall back facing the lake, it also forms a very impactful picture visually.

After a while, Pang Tong was the first to react, and he praised repeatedly: "Zi Yu's talent is beyond my reach!"

Pang Tong has a great reputation, and it is not easy to make him bow his head.

Having said that, I really admire you.

Lu Ji and others also echoed and admired him very much.

However, when Xing Daorong and others were expressing their feelings in the pavilion, their voices were really loud.

There were a few people by the lake, and they could also hear the poem.

One of them was none other than Gan Ning.

The person next to him is his good friend, Lu Meng.

The two men were originally looking for a place to have a small gathering, but unexpectedly, halfway through their journey, they heard shouts coming from the lake.

Upon hearing this, Lü Meng exclaimed, "Great words! Great words!" Then he grabbed the servant beside him and asked, "Who is in the lake?"

The servant quickly responded, "Reporting to the other driver, the people in the lake are Lu Caoyuan and his friends. Oh, and Pang Shiyuan and Xing Ziyu from Jingzhou are also among them."

At present, Lu Meng is just over 20 years old and serves as the Sima of a separate department.

The general's subordinates include military Sima, whose rank is equivalent to that of a thousand stones. Among them, those who lead other camps are called other Sima, and the number of soldiers they lead varies according to circumstances and is not fixed.

In short, it is an official position that leads troops.

When he heard that people from Jingzhou were also there, Lu Meng's original intention of going to take a look was immediately extinguished.

He knew that Gan Ning was captured alive in Jiangling City, and the general defending Jiangling City was Xing Daorong who came this time.

Even if these two people don't have a deep blood feud, there must be some hatred. If it is possible not to meet, it is better.

He immediately waved his hand and asked the boy to leave.

But could Gan Ning possibly forget Xing Daorong's voice?
It would have been fine if the servant didn't mention Xing Daorong's name. But when he mentioned it, Gan Ning didn't know that it was Xing Daorong who said the words?
Although Gan Ning was born a pirate, he is also a "Jinfan Pirate"!
To put it bluntly, she comes from a wealthy family, otherwise how could she be a "Jinfan"!

Although he is not as good at poetry and songs as literati, he still has a certain level of appreciation.

He could naturally hear the artistic conception of the song "Linjiangxian".

When he heard that it was Xing Daorong who did it, he couldn't help but frown, and then as if he had made some kind of decision, he called out to others, "Let's go and take a look too!"

Lu Meng knew Gan Ning's personality.

That temper is not good at all!
The reason why the two are called good friends is that they don't know each other without fighting.

Earlier, Gan Ning had a violent personality and was known for his violence and killing, which led to the conflict. Later, after they got to know each other, they became good friends.

If nothing happens to Gan Ning when he leaves now, then something must be fishy!
What's more, Lu Ji and others were also involved. If something unexpected happened, it would be even more troublesome.

To put it bluntly, Lu Meng, Gan Ning, Lu Ji and others were not very familiar with each other. If we really want to use "labels", the two sides have different labels.

Lu Meng and Gan Ning belonged to the Huaisi Military Generals Group and were the Jiangbei forces who followed Sun Ce into Jiangdong.

For example, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Xiu of Pengcheng, Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Ke of Langya, Zhou Yu of Lujiang, and Lu Su of Linhuai all belong to the Huaisi military group. Although Lü Meng and Gan Ning were not from that place, they both belonged to the Huaisi military group because of their political stance.

It sounds like there are Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Zhang Zhao and Zhuge Jin. Pretty powerful, isn't it?

But on the other side are the Jiangdong nobles, who were born and raised here and have a great reputation. They are also led by the Lu, Zhang, and Zhu families. To be honest, none of them are afraid of you at all.

The two sides are still clearly distinguished at this time, so it is not appropriate to start a dispute.

Especially for someone like Gan Ning who has an impulsive personality, he is even less suitable.

He immediately said: "Hey, since it is Lu Caoyuan who invites friends, let's not get involved."

Having said that, he pulled Gan Ning away.

But when Gan Ning got angry, even ten oxen couldn't pull him back, let alone a mere Lu Meng.

If you insist on getting on board the ship, no one can stop you.

Lü Meng was afraid of something happening, so he had no choice but to follow.

After a while, they arrived at the pavilion in the lake.

Gan Ning saw Xing Daorong at a glance, narrowed his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.
