Two of them, one handsome and one ugly, were given crowns for the handsome ones. The ugly one was about eighteen or nineteen years old and did not even wear the crown for being a virtuous person. They had been sitting side by side in the corner. They waited until everyone else had left before talking in low voices.

After saying a few words, he got up and went back to the backyard of the prefect's mansion, where he packed up and saluted in a guest room... It turned out that these two people were cousins, and the older brother among them, the handsome one, is now

He was Liu Fan's guest. Maybe he had not been taken seriously before. Now that he saw such a ridiculous thing, he wanted to leave.

Now that the two brothers had packed their bags, they went to find Liu Fan to say goodbye. However, they heard that Liu Fan was drinking with Pang Xi in the backyard, so they were too lazy to say anything. Instead, they went out on foot and left the city alone.

However, Liu Fan did not value these two people, but some people did. Liu Fan's cousin Fei Shang Fei Boren (Fei Yi's uncle) was the recommender of his brother, and he specifically looked for him after the meeting. Hearing this

He just packed up and left. He didn't even have time to report to Liu Fan, so he took a car to chase him.

However, Fei Boren obviously pursued the wrong direction. He first thought that the other party was going back to his hometown in Jingzhou, so he headed towards the southeast road. As a result, he could not find anyone after chasing him for twenty or thirty miles. However, he suddenly woke up and turned north.

, and finally caught up with the brothers at a pavilion in the north of the city in the evening.

"Mountain people, why did you leave without saying goodbye?" Fei Boren was so tired that he couldn't breathe, but as soon as he entered the hospital, he was overjoyed when he saw the brothers who were sighing in the pavilion.

"Brother Bo Ren, why is this happening?" The man named Shanmin was filled with emotion when he saw that the other party was chasing him regardless of the trouble. He stood up from under the tree in the pavilion to greet him and held his hands in front of him. "Ji Ben is young, so he should take care of himself.

I have traveled extensively and devoted myself to reading. I just saw that the situation in the world is gradually becoming more and more peaceful, and I have a little desire to take advantage of the situation to become famous, so I came to Sichuan for a trip. But now Liu Yizhou and his son are using people for nepotism and exploiting the country, and I don't care about it.

I mean, at most I can take my brother with me to Yexia to study for the imperial examination, what else?"

Fei Shang was extremely embarrassed, so he stepped forward and took his arm to sit down on the mat under the tree in the courtyard. He called the pavilion chief again to get some warm water. After quenching his thirst for a while, he had no choice but to say: "Brother Yu is overthinking. It's just that as a Liu brother, Brother Yu

The wife clan of the clan inevitably has the idea of ​​doing their part for the Liu clan, and now they know that although you are young, you are the queen of Pang Degong and must be a talented person who will lead the world, so I want to retain you."

That handsome man was the son of Pang Degong, Pang Ji Pangshanmin. Hearing this, he was amused for a moment, so he pointed at the ugly boy beside him and said: "Unexpectedly, even Boren is a person who judges people by their appearance... Although my brother Pang Tong is young, he is talented.

He is the man who has inherited my Pang family. I only listened to his words when I went west. Today, it was he who advised me to go north, so I directly abandoned Shu and prepared to go north... Boren seeks talents, why do he only seek talents?

I come?"

Fei Shang was stunned for a moment.

And that ugly young man, who was Xiangyang Pang Tong, burst out laughing when he heard this: "What? If Han Xin had such an appearance, wouldn't Xiao He stop pursuing him?"

Fei Shang was even more embarrassed, so he avoided the table and bowed to Pang Tong seriously: "I am judging a person based on his appearance. Please forgive me."

When Pang Tong saw the other party being so polite, he didn't care. He just responded with a slightly serious look: "You are so sincere and sincere, but I have nothing in return. I can only give you a word and only a few gifts in return."

"Please step in and see me for advice."

"Everyone in Shu wants to kill the Liu family and his son, so it would be better to escape early." Pang Tong said sincerely.

Fei Shang was stunned for a moment, but as a close relative of the Liu family, he knew what Liu Yan said that day, so he couldn't help but inquire seriously: "I am stupid, please try to clear up my confusion."

"It's easy." Pang Tong answered calmly under the tree. "Do you know why I persuaded my brother to take me to Sichuan for a trip?"

"I don't know."

"Actually, when Tong was in Jingzhou, he felt that although Jingzhou didn't want to surrender, if Yizhou fell and Jiaozhou surrendered, Jingzhou would be surrounded on three sides, but they could only surrender to Yan Gong's sword, so they thought

Come to Yizhou to see... What I thought at that time was that Yizhou and Jingzhou were like each other. Neither the top nor the bottom wanted to surrender, but the mountains and rivers were dangerous, and they might be the front line of Hebei. But after I came here, I discovered that Yizhou

The hearts of the people have long since collapsed. Only the Liu family and his son are unwilling to surrender..."

Fei Boren suddenly interrupted: "Is it because of Lu Bu that my uncle and cousin don't want to surrender?"

"Lü Bu is just saying that his death was caused by Cao Cao. Everyone in the Central Plains knows this. Liu Jingzhou may have had this concern, but here in Liu Yizhou it is just an excuse for being old and afraid of death." Liu Biao didn't know.

Pang Tong, who was no longer Liu Jingzhou, smiled. "There is always a risk of surrender, but it is just like what Liu Fujun himself hinted today. His father has always been shameless, old and hard-working, superstitious, greedy and fearful."

That's why he didn't want to surrender... As for Liu Fujun himself, Zhang Caopu said it very clearly today. Liu Fujun is young and energetic, and he has just tasted power, so he doesn't want to let go from the bottom of his heart.

! This can be clearly seen from the incident about Pixiu. It was he who refuted superstition in the past, and he was the one who later claimed to be miraculous. But isn't it all for the son to inherit the father's legacy?"

Faber could not refute it.

"But this is exactly how these two people caused trouble." Pang Tong continued to speak slowly, but couldn't help but sigh. "I just learned today that Liu Yizhou was the earliest to separatist rule, but it was the least able to win over local people! Others!

There were also local and foreign disputes, and they were once fierce, but most of them were at the beginning of the founding of the country. For example, Liu Xuande, Cao Mengde, Yan Gong, and even Liu Jingzhou all had regional disputes at the beginning, but they could all stand aside.

A stable place, while trying to make rewards and punishments as clear as possible, so later on, no one will be bothered by this matter. Only here in Yizhou, it is so unbearable..."

Fei Shang became more and more silent.

"Do you know? The reason why Jingzhou is relied upon, and the reason why Duke Yan did not take Jingzhou first, is because in Jingzhou, not only Liu Jingzhou was unwilling to surrender, but the noble families there were also worried that they would not be able to get a good job in the north after surrendering.

Chu Haoqiang was even more worried that Duke Yan would not be able to protect his family property, so he reluctantly stayed together to face the north... Dare I ask what happened to Yizhou?" Pang Tong finally pointed out the key point. "The local scholars and people, the powerful ones were bullied by the Dongzhou scholars to this place.

Who would risk their lives for Liu Yizhou if they cannot serve as an official and are invaded without restraint? Yang Hong’s rebellion is a clear proof! Qiao Qi’s persuasion to surrender is also clear proof! Zhang Song’s ridicule today is even more clear proof!”

"There are also Dongzhoushi..." Fei Shang couldn't help but say more.

"Even the scholars from Dongzhou, most of whom have migrated from other places, have more monks and less food, right?" Pang Tong couldn't help but sneer at him. "In the middle of Shu, there are only four to five million people. From those official positions, only a few people will benefit, and most of them will benefit."

People can only make a living, right? Nowadays, most of their hometowns are under the rule of Duke Yan, so it is inevitable to have second thoughts? Even some loyal people gathered around Liu Yizhou because of profit. How could they gather because of profit?

Are you going to die for Liu Yizhou? The locals regard Liu Yizhou and his son as enemies. Dongzhou scholars dislike Liu Yizhou and cannot satisfy them, so what if they are father and son? Liu Fujun is young and may have accomplished something, but Yan Gong did not give him anything.

Time? The army is pressing down on the border, and the middle of Shu is in chaos. Even if there are dangerous passes along the way, if it lasts for a year or two, and chaos breaks out in the rear, what can we do?"

Pang Tongyan said no more about this.

Fei Shang was sweating profusely and was about to speak for a long time, but he suddenly stood up and saluted: "Please wait for me. My brother Fei Guan and my nephew Fei Yi are both in Mianzhu. I will bring them out and ask for help."

As an envoy, how about we go north together...?"

I am the dividing line for worshiping Pixiu

"Yang Hong was named Ji Xiu, and he was a native of Wuyang, Jianwei. Liu Yanshi was the Sima of another tribe... Taizu attacked Shu, but before the army was launched, Hong Yiyan and his son took the Dongzhou soldiers to oppress the middle of Shu, and together with the brothers Zhang Su, the governor of Jianwei

It was proposed to raise troops to call Taizu. Su was a little afraid and wanted to wait until Taizu's troops came to Baishui to block the flood for about three months. Hong said to him: "Hanzhong is the throat of Yizhou. There is no chance of survival. If there is no Hanzhong, there will be no chance of Shu."

Now that Duke Yan has taken control of Hanzhong, Ba County seems to have lost an arm, Guanghan has lost its head, and Yan father and son have lost their hearts, as if they have lost their liver and gallbladder, and they may be dead in March, so why should they send troops? They raise their own troops to Hanan."
