The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 31 The new prefect is coming
On Lumen Mountain, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, and Zhuge Liang were strolling along the mountain path, admiring the scenery of early spring.

Pang Tong said: "Brother Yuan Zhi, Brother Kong Ming, I wonder if you two have heard about the recent war between Jiangxia and Jiangdong?"

Xu Shu said with a smile: "I have heard it for a long time, that Zhang Wu not only dared to take the initiative to attack the Jiangdong defenders, but even used the strategy of 'surrounding the point and attacking reinforcements', ambushing the Jiangdong reinforcements halfway, and even captured the Jiangdong veteran Han Dang alive. It is really surprising! "

Pang Tong said again: "When Zhang Wu and Chen Sun occupied Xiangyang before, I also observed this man. He was extremely vulgar, without courage and plan. After arriving in Jiangxia, he has a job but no power, even Huang Zu can crush him to death, who knows that after taking power, he has such a strategy and bravery, it is really incomprehensible!"

Zhuge Liang shook his small fan and said disdainfully: "It's just a fluke. Jiangdong's army has never lost a battle with Jiangxia. It's normal to make a big taboo of underestimating the enemy. There will be no such good things in the future. I expect Jiangdong will definitely not let it go. Jiangdong Zhou Yu, Lu Fan, Tai Shici, etc. are all famous generals. Let me see how Zhang Wu can resist. Kuang Jiangxia's output is not high, and it all depends on Xiangyang to supplement food and grass supplies. I am afraid that Liu Jingzhou will treat this Wu is also quite afraid, right?"

"Haha, Kong Ming has seen clearly that the Jiangxia Four Battles are not easy to defend. I also heard that General Cai, our great military advisor in Jingzhou, is also very unhappy with Zhang Wu. If the front is fighting and the rear makes some small moves, I'm afraid that Zhang Wu It will be destroyed in a blink of an eye." Pang Tong laughed.

But Xu Shu said: "Although Liu Biao is old, he is not stupid. The land of Jiangxia is very important. Liu Biao will definitely not cause Jiangxia to be captured by Jiangdong just to plot against Zhang Wu. Moreover, Zhang Wugang won the first victory in Jingzhou against Jiangdong in more than ten years. Now the prestige is high, it is not suitable to deal with."

Zhuge Liang recalled the scene when Zhang Wu wiped his snot and tears on his fan back then, and said disgustedly: "After all, he is a person with shallow roots. If he relies on Jingzhou and sticks to Jiangxia, he may survive for a few years. But he insisted on taking the initiative to attack Jiangdong, and captured Jiangdong's senior official Han Dang. In addition, Gan Ning had shot Ling Cao to death. I am afraid that Jiangdong has hated the three brothers Zhang and Wu now. Once there is a change in the north and Xiangyang is overwhelmed, It will be the day when Jiang Xia will be destroyed."

Pang Tong looked at Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu and said: "Although the war in the north has not stopped, Cao Cao's defeat of Yuan Shao is a foregone conclusion. Once Cao Cao unifies the north, he will definitely go south. At that time, it may be the last battle to end the dispute in this world. What do you two do?" Planning? Haven't made a decision yet?"

Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu knew what Pang Tong meant, but they just asked if they hadn't chosen a boss yet?
The Pang family that Pang Tong belongs to is the Jingxiang family. It is very easy to become an official. With the help of family power, no matter whether Cao Cao wins or loses when he goes south, he can choose a better side to become an official.

Now that he is not in office, it is just that he is not optimistic about Liu Biao, but the family is under Liu Biao's rule after all, and it is not easy to rely on others.

But Zhuge Liang's family has declined, and now there are only a few brothers left. There is no family power to rely on, and they can only rely on themselves, so it is very important to choose a good boss.If you choose the wrong boss, not only will you not be able to realize your ideals, but your life will be in danger and even your family will be destroyed.

Cao Cao once massacred the people of Xuzhou, and Zhuge Liang hated him deeply, and he would never take refuge in Cao Cao.In fact, there is another reason why Zhuge Liang did not defect to Cao Cao. In order to revive the family, the Zhuge family made a lot of arrangements. They knew the truth that eggs should not be put in one basket. Work hard for the master.

The eldest brother Zhuge Jin defected to Sun Quan and participated in the crusade against Guan Yu. After Sun Quan proclaimed himself emperor, Zhuge Jin became a general and led Yuzhou Shepherd.From the birthday of his younger brother Zhuge, he defected to the state of Wei. Because of his military exploits, he was named Gaopinghou, with [-] households, and was transferred to the general of Zhengdong.As for Zhuge Liang, in the original book, he defected to Liu Bei, and later achieved the highest achievement.

The three brothers had a good plan and split their bets on the three biggest powers in the world. No matter which side wins, they can guarantee that the Zhuge family will not be destroyed, and they will have a chance to regain their status as a top aristocratic family.

It's a pity that the final ending of the family of the three brothers was not very good. Zhuge Ke, the son of Zhuge Jin, later sent troops to attack Wei and was defeated by Xincheng. was destroyed.

Zhuge Dan later rebelled because he opposed Sima Zhao, and was punished by Sima Zhao to destroy the three clans.

Zhuge Liang's son Zhuge Zhan didn't even learn anything from his father. He didn't listen to Huang Chongsu's advice to take advantage of the danger, so he missed his military opportunity and went out of the city to fight Deng Ai.After hearing the news, Zhuge Liang's grandson Zhuge Shang also rushed into the battle and died in battle.

In addition to betting separately, the Zhuge family also used marriage to find help.Zhuge Liang's eldest sister married Kuai Liang's eldest son Kuai Qi, his second sister married Pang Shanmin, the son of Pang Degong, and he was going to marry Huang Chengyan's daughter Huang Yueying.Huang Chengyan's wife was Cai Mao's eldest sister, and later Pang Lin of the Pang family married the daughter of the Xi family.In this way, Zhuge Liang was related to Pang, Xi, Huang, Kuai, and Cai of the five major families in Jingzhou through his in-law relationship.

It's obvious that you can rely on your background to make a living, but you have to rely on your own talent, don't you think it's annoying?
Even if Zhuge Liang could let go of his heart and take refuge in Cao Cao, where would he rank?Boss Cao has no shortage of talented people. Kong Ming usually compares himself to Guan Zhong and Le Yi, not only because he is very confident in his talents, but also reveals his ambition to take power.

And Xu Shu was originally a child of a poor family, and he is still carrying a life lawsuit on his back. Now that he has learned a lot of skills, he also wants to find a stage to display it, but who is suitable?

The three of them had their own plans in mind, and they were all waiting for an opportunity.

After Zhang Wu returned to Jiangxia, he summoned Chen Sun and Gan Ning and told them that he had asked Liu Biao to send a governor. The person who came was most likely the eldest son Liu Qi, and asked them to be prepared to welcome him.

Chen Sun asked puzzledly: "Brother, how good it is for us to be carefree like this, why do we have to find a mother-in-law to take care of ourselves?"

Seeing that Gan Ning was also puzzled, Zhang Wu smiled and said, "Jiangxia is an important place in Jingzhou, and Huang Zu was Liu Biao's confidant general, so Liu Biao was relieved to let Huang Zu lead the army to guard it. But our three brothers are not Liu Biao's confidants Now that Jiangxia's military power is in our hands, Liu Biao is definitely not at ease. Maybe he will use some means. Let them send a trustworthy person to be the prefect, so they can rest assured and maintain the relationship between Jiangxia and Xiangyang. After all, our Food and grass still need to be allocated by Xiangyang.”

"What if Liu Biao took the opportunity to take power?" Gan Ning asked, he had just tasted the sweetness of holding power, and no one wanted to lose it.
