The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 257 Seeking Pang Xi
Pang Xi came back after losing the battle. Of course, he didn't know that Liu Zhang had been placed under house arrest by Dongfang Sheng, and that Chengdu County had been replaced.

Speaking of which, Pang Xi is not a quiet master. He privately recruited Jin Ren as a part-timer, and this Rong Ren was a great help when Han Gaozu Liu Bang started his career.

In troubled times, many people want to start their own careers, and no one wants someone above them to control their own life and death, and so does Pang Xi.

The two failures in attacking Zhang Lu were not entirely his fault, it was because he didn't use his own moves at all, and he used all Dongzhou soldiers to top the vat.

Who has no selfishness?Of course, Pang Xi would not take out his own soldiers' trilogy and consume them all.

Because of the defeat on the way, Pang Xi was not in the mood to wander around the county at all. What he wanted was to go back early to do business, so he was completely ignorant when he was able to get news from Liu Zhang at will.

As soon as Pang Xi arrived at the city gate, Zheng Du and Fa Zheng came out to greet him with a group of officials.

When Pang Xi saw Zheng Du and Fazheng, he felt a little sad: I lost the battle, but my lord asked two people to pick me up?
Pang Xi didn't show his displeasure, but Zheng Du took a look at Pang Xi who got off his horse, and found that he didn't show any abnormal expression, so he quickly stepped forward and said, "Thank you, General."

"How is my lord?" Pang Xi asked with a guilty conscience. He wanted to test Liu Zhang's attitude.

A smile appeared on Zheng Du's face and said: "Master, let you relax, he is waiting for you to go in and discuss important matters."

Pang Xi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Zheng Du's words, and then he turned around and ordered to the Dongzhou soldiers behind him: "You guys set up camp here first."

Zheng Du looked at the Dongzhou soldiers behind him, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He and Fazheng looked at each other and then followed Pang Xi into the city.

At this time, in Liu Zhang's mansion, Dongfang Sheng was sitting on the main seat. The original mat had been removed, and a wooden stool was replaced. Dongfang Sheng never liked to kneel and sit on the ground.

On the Hu stool on the left sat a middle-aged man with a feather fan and a fluttering beard. It was Jia Xu who was in charge of the arrangements for Pang Xi's return.

"I heard that the lord was assassinated?" Jia Xu asked, shaking his feather fan lightly.

Dongfang Sheng smiled and said, "It's Wang Lei, but I've already put him in prison."

"Yes." Jia Xu knew Dongfang Sheng's words and knew that he had other arrangements, so he didn't ask any more questions. He put the feather fan aside, took a sip from the teacup on the side, and said, "This time when Pang Xi came back, I Two-handed preparations have been made."

"If he knows about Liu Zhang, someone behind Zheng Du and the others will take him directly. If he doesn't know, then they can trick him into the mansion, and then he can be recruited."

After hearing Jia Xu's words, Dongfang Sheng frowned a little. He didn't think there was anything special about Pang Xi.

"Why did Wenhe take such pains to recruit Pang Xi?"

Jia Xu's eyes suddenly drifted outside, and his voice became a little far away: "I think that in the past when Gaozu won the world, he relied most on the Jinren, but now this Jinren is in Brazil County. Pang Xi used to be the governor of Brazil. I have privately recruited Jin Ren to be the part, if the lord can get the help of Jin Ren, it will be a great success!"

After hearing Jia Xu's analysis, although Dongfang Sheng was noncommittal, he couldn't refute it face to face.

However, Dongfang Sheng never thought that as long as he mastered the people, he could win the world. This kind of foundation is as illusory as the "ordered by heaven, and longevity forever" on the jade seal.

While talking, Zheng Du brought Pang Xi in.

As soon as Pang Xi saw Dongfang Sheng sitting on the main seat and Jia Xu sitting next to him, he immediately understood.

"How dare the thief be so rampant!" Pang Xi wanted to pull out the sword at his waist, but behind him there were several long swords around his neck, and at the same time, a pair of hands gently untied his long sword.

"Don't be rude!" Dongfang Sheng shouted, and the long sword on Pang Xi's neck immediately left.

Pang Xi was quite a character, he neither begged for mercy nor yelled at him, but just quietly walked up to Dongfang Sheng and stood there.

Dongfang Sheng looked at Pang Xi curiously. He didn't know what kind of actions Pang Xi would make, but because Pang Xi's daughter married Liu Zhang, Dongfang Sheng felt that he would not surrender to him.

"Is Ji Yu okay?" Pang Xi asked with a light breath.

"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for him, as long as he lives in peace." Dongfang Sheng said in a deep voice.

As long as Liu Zhang is safe and sound, Dongfang Sheng will naturally not trouble him, but if he still does not give up, Dongfang Sheng will not be polite to him.

Pang Xi sighed softly and said submissively, "Xi is willing to serve the Lord!"

Pang Xi felt that he hadn't realized his ambition yet, and he didn't want to quit the stage just like that, so he chose to surrender.

Dongfang Sheng stepped forward to help Pang Xi and said, "Okay, you should take a rest first, and if you have a chance to recruit Zhang Lu for me in the future, you will be ashamed!"

Pang Xi saw a gleam of light in Dongfang Sheng's eyes, and he knew in his heart that the master in front of him was not the stupid Liu Zhang who pretended to be stupid.

Pang Xi suddenly felt that it was not a bad thing for him to seek refuge with Dongfang Sheng, at least it was better to follow a shrewd lord than a confused one.

Sometimes if the Lord is too weak, it will cause dissatisfaction among the people below, because although Liu Zhang has some scheming, but he is too cowardly, Pang Xi naturally had some thoughts before.

Of course, Pang Xi would not be dissatisfied with a protagonist as strong as Dongfang Sheng.

"Go and rectify the Dongzhou soldiers outside the city." Dongfang Sheng glanced at Pang Xi and said, "Captain Zhao and Captain Zhang will bring troops to receive them."

"Here!" Under Dongfang Sheng's aura, Pang Xi didn't have any mentality of resistance.

What is momentum?It was a vague feeling. Dongfang Sheng had stayed by Cao Cao's side for a while, and had held power for a long time, so he naturally had a certain momentum.

After Pang Xi left, Zheng Du and Fazheng also came over together. At this time, the resettlement work was almost done, and they came to report the work situation to Dongfang Sheng.

In the past, Dongfang Sheng always felt that those leaders were pretending to be aggressive. Where their subordinates read a long article eloquently, the leaders only gave instructions that were good, okay, or that they did a good job.

Now that he has become a leader himself, he understands the mentality of those leaders. Zheng Du and Fazheng are good employees, and they do a good job, so what else can he say besides saying yes?
After Zheng Du and Fazheng finished speaking, Dongfang Sheng nodded in satisfaction. The abilities of these two people are very strong.

Chen Zhong hurried over from outside: "Yong Kai, the master of Gongyi Prefecture, has rebelled!"
