Lu Dynasty

Chapter 729 The heart of the phoenix
Speaking of preparations, Gan Ning had prepared his troops long ago. How could he not be prepared for battle?Pang Tong watched Gan Ning mobilize his troops very quickly, and couldn't help but admire him.Originally, as a native of Jingzhou, Pang Tong often heard Gan Ning's name. In his eyes, Gan Ning was nothing more than a thief no matter how powerful he was.Although Pang Tong would not underestimate him, he would not think highly of him either. Generally speaking, Pang Tong still looked down on Gan Ning.Through these two days of observation, Pang Tong discovered that Gan Ning's ability was superior to all the generals in Jingzhou, and Gan Ning's background was also found out clearly under his side effects.It turned out that Gan Ning was a descendant of the Gan family in Berkshire. Even if he was not considered a wealthy family, he was still a wealthy family. Such background and skills were not reused, and he was even recruited as a thief. Pang Tong didn't know what to praise Liu Biao!
Pang Tong admired Gan Ning's abilities, but when he thought that he was not reused by Liu Biao, his eyes became strange.When Gan Ning saw Pang Tong looking at him with complicated eyes, his scalp felt a little numb.In Gan Ning's view, these literati are full of bad things, and they don't know when they will give you a dirty look, so Gan Ning hurriedly asked Pang Tong if he could send troops. He is good at it, leading troops to attack is the general's strength, and I will follow the general's actions."

"Military commander, marching and fighting is quite dangerous. If something happens to you, how can I explain to the master? Please forgive me!" Gan Ning begged with a look of embarrassment: "You also know that the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly. A sword has no eyes, if that blind arrow hits you, I will kill myself to thank my lord!"

"Is it so serious?" Pang Tong said with a smile: "I heard that my lord once regarded General Gan as his butt, and even praised you as a general. Don't you even have the confidence to protect a literati like me?"

Pang Tong's words choked Gan Ning hard, causing Gan Ning to lose all of his goodwill in an instant.If it wasn't for my face, Gan Ning would beat him up.However, Gan Ning knew how powerful and important Pang Tong was, and he also understood why Pang Tong followed. After all, the opponent had Zhuge Liang, a counselor of the same level as him, and it was normal for Pang Tong to be afraid that Gan Ning would not be his opponent.It's just that Gan Ning is very dissatisfied with Pang Tong's use of aggressive methods. Could it be that he is so stupid that he can't even see the most basic aggressive methods?Seeing that Pang Tong insisted on going, Gan Ning asked Xiaoxiao to bring him a piece of armor for his safety.But Pang Tong refused, because he was wearing the soft armor I gave him, which was much stronger than ordinary armor and light. If you don't wear the armor, if you fall into the river and get drowned, the loss outweighs the gain.Although Pang Tong is from Jingzhou, he is a scholar after all, and he is also a noble family who pays attention to status. He can't just go to the water to practice water skills.He can swim a little bit, but if he is wearing a few kilograms of armor, he is not as good as Gan Ning, who can move freely in the rolling Yangtze River.

In order to prevent Pang Tong from taking risks, Gan Ning decided to march in two ways.One was led by him to attack by land, and the other was led by Pang Tong and went straight to the pontoon bridge.Of course, Pang Tong can only act when Gan Ning stirs up Liu Bei's chaos.Gan Ning also allocated [-] of his original [-] personal guards to Pang Tong, and even the leader of his personal guards, Gan Hu, was arranged by Pang Tong's side.Seeing Gan Ning attaching so much importance to him, Pang Tong's heart suddenly trembled.You know, because he was ugly, he was looked down on since he was a child. Later, when he became capable, he gradually entered the family's field of vision, but even though the family valued his talent, those juniors who were jealous of him still laughed at his ugliness.In addition, this world is a world that judges people by their appearance, so he has low self-esteem and arrogance. With a lonely heart, he hopes that someone will care for him, but he does not want others to give him alms.

Since Pang Tong came to Luoyang, his life has changed.Although he is still ugly, the people of Luoyang sympathize with him instead of disgusting him. When he is in need, some people even lend a helping hand to him, even if he does not need help.But this kind of situation will not happen in Jingzhou. If something happens to him in Jingzhou, if he does not reveal the identity of the Pang family, people will just hide their faces and leave. Sometimes it is the fault of the other party, and even the government will think that he looks good. Ugly, must be a bad guy!

Pang Tong was attracted by the atmosphere of Luoyang and even Sili, and he was also very curious about me, the person who changed the atmosphere of the big man.As the saying goes: curiosity will kill the cat.And it was Pang Tong's curiosity about me that made him stay here by mistake.He always excused that he was forced to stay by me. In fact, with Pang Tong's character, if he didn't want to stay, no one could force him, because no matter what method I used, I couldn't resist a word of death!Pang Tong stayed, not because of any other reasons, but because he wanted to stay, even though he kept saying that he was afraid that Huang Yueying would be bullied!But what Pang Tong didn't expect was that he was actually convinced by me.It never occurred to him that anyone could charm him.Historically, Pang Tong followed Liu Bei, not because he was convinced by Liu Bei, but because he was short and top-notch. In addition, Zhuge Liang was under Liu Bei's command. Although Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang had been competing, there was no special reason, and he did not want to fight against Zhuge Liang. .And later when he fought for merit when Liu Bei entered Shu, he just didn't want to live in Zhuge Liang's shadow. He wanted Liu Bei to know that he didn't need Zhuge Liang to be inferior.It's a pity that he died in Luofengpo before he could make contributions, leaving behind a thousand years of regrets!

Pang Tong was convinced by me, and he stayed under my command half-heartedly, but he was also quite disturbed to stay.Pang Tongzu has been an official for several generations, and he is used to the strife in the officialdom. He thought that he, a Jingzhou native, would be helpless under my command, but who would have thought that there would be no intrigue like that of other princes under my command, whether it is a counselor or a general? They are all so kind, if you don't know, you will think it is a family, and there is no mess and darkness in the officialdom.

Standing at the bow of the boat, Pang Tong felt a little high-spirited, and even his ugly face began to look a little handsome.Pang Tong decided that if he could defeat Zhuge Liang, he must persuade Zhuge Liang to submit to me, so that Zhuge Liang could also feel the harmonious atmosphere in Luoyang City.As for the others, Pang Tong felt that as long as he wrote a letter, he could basically win me over, especially Cui Zhouping and Meng Gongwei, who seemed like hermits.Looking at Liu Beijun's camp that was getting closer and closer, a smile appeared on the corner of Pang Tong's mouth, and this smile made people look so gloomy!
