As soon as Pang Tong's words were uttered, Xu Shu's eyebrows were immediately raised. Xu Shu looked at Pang Tong with a calm face and asked, "Shiyuan, where did you get this news?"
Pang Tong was still holding a cup of tea, slowly drinking the tea, and said faintly, "don't worry about where I know the news. I'll ask you whether you are or not?"
After staring at Pang Tong for a long time, Xu Shu finally bit his teeth and nodded and said, "yes! Half a month ago, the Lord issued the order! We attacked Jingzhou in three ways. " Anyway, he couldn't hide this clever ghost like guy. Xu Shu simply said it all.
Pang Tong said with a smile: "if I were you, I would write a letter quickly and ask your Lord to delay a step."
Pang Tong's words brightened Xu Shu's eyes. Xu Shu quickly took Pang Tong's arm and asked, "Shiyuan, do you know something? Tell me quickly and listen to me
"Ha ha!" Pang Tong put down his teacup with a smile, "you don't want to know, how do I know the news of your attack on Jingzhou?"
When Pang Tong said this, he asked Xu Shu another question: "yes! You haven't told me, how did you know the news? In this attack on Jingzhou, the Lord just said at the meeting that all the civil and military officials in Jiangdong were present, and there could be no spies! "
Pang Tong, on the other hand, said with a smile: "in fact, half a month ago, I was traveling in Guangling, Xuzhou."
"Xuzhou? Guangling? " At first, he didn't realize why Pang Tong suddenly said such a sentence. Suddenly, a thunder and lightning flashed in Xu Shu's head, "Shiyuan! Do you mean Xuzhou family However, Pang Tong did not answer. Xu Shu immediately knew that he had not guessed wrong. It seems that Chen Ren had infuriated the Xuzhou family that day. Otherwise, how dare they make such a disclosure.
"Oh? It doesn't seem surprising to see your expression? " Pang Tong looked at Xu Shu strangely. Although Xu Shu was a little surprised at the beginning, he showed his original appearance. Xu Shu quickly said that Chen Ren had expelled the children of the Xuzhou aristocratic family from the new army. In fact, this matter was not particularly serious. On that day, after the seven Xuzhou aristocratic family children were sent back by Chen Ren, the seven children immediately went to Sun Jian to complain, but Sun Jian gave a good reprimand. Sun Jian also ordered the seven people to return to their homes and think about their mistakes behind closed doors.
"Ha ha ha ha ha!" After listening to Xu Shu's explanation, Pang Tong looked up and laughed. He pointed to Xu Shu and said with a smile: "Yuanzhi, Yuanzhi! I can't believe you are still so naive. No wonder you were sent to Lujiang and Kong Ming went to Xuzhou. If you go to Xuzhou, how can you be the opponent of those old people of Xuzhou family! "
After being ridiculed by Pang Tong, Xu Shu's cheeks were slightly red. He also knew that his political level was inferior to Zhuge Liang's. Xu Shu was good at fighting in the battlefield. Even Pang Tong was not comparable to him. However, when it comes to the intrigues in the court, Xu Shu was far from the rival of Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong.
Pang Tong laughed for a while and said, "Yuanzhi, according to what you know about Chen Zici, is he the kind of person who makes such a mistake because of impulse? And your Lord Wu Hou, how could he have the opportunity to transmit information after those Xuzhou children were injured by Chen Ren? The so-called thinking behind closed doors is just a nice thing to say. In fact, it is just a disguised house arrest! In fact, I'm afraid they can't even pass on a word to them! "
Xu Shu was not a fool. In fact, he was only slightly inferior to Pang Tong and others in these aspects. As Pang Tong had such a point, Xu Shu immediately thought, "is it that these children of Xuzhou aristocratic family spread the news on the day they got the notice from the Lord?"
Pang Tong nodded. Seeing Xu Shu's anxious appearance, Pang Tong said with a smile: "don't worry. I wrote to Kong Ming before I came here. He is not like you. Those Xuzhou families in Guangling are not his rivals! "
After hearing Pang Tong's words, Xu Shu was relieved. Then he remembered what Pang Tong had just said and asked, "Shiyuan, now can you tell me why you want me to postpone the attack of Dongwu on Jingzhou? Did you get any news? " Thinking that Pang Tong was Pang's nephew, Xu Shu could not help but pay more attention to Pang Tong's words.
Pang Tong's face was a little dimmer at this time, and then returned to his normal appearance. He said with a smile, "in fact, I can do divination. I can't figure out that there will be a big change in Jingzhou within a month. It will be a great advantage if Dongwu forces again after that."
"Great changes in Jingzhou?" Xu Shu murmured to himself again, thinking of the information that Cheng Yu had said that day, Xu Shu looked at Pang Tong and said in a low voice, "is that Xiangyang?"
Pang Tong still said with a smile: "although I have long guessed that the intelligence ability of Soochow is very important, I didn't expect that it would be so beneficial. But you are still wrong this time. The change of Jingzhou is far from simple as that of the Lord of Jingzhou? "
As soon as Xu Shu's face changed, he immediately worshipped Pang Tong and said, "Shiyuan, you should rest here. I'll come when I go." Pang Tong knew that Xu Shu was anxious to send a message to Jianye. Of course, he did not delay him. He waved his hand to show that he knew. Xu Shu immediately turned out of the meeting hall and went straight to the study of the prefect's residence.
Entering the study, Huang Gai and Gan Ning both discussed the issue of sending troops in half a month later. As soon as Xu Shufeng came in, Gan Ning said with embarrassment: "Yuanzhi, I don't know he is your good friend. How offended."Xu Shu, who had the heart to care about these things, immediately grabbed Huang Gai and Gan Ning and repeated what Pang Tong had just said to him. After hearing this, Huang Gai and Gan Ning were dignified. Huang Gai immediately asked, "Yuan Zhi, is this Pang Tong's statement credible?"
Xu Shu nodded, then shook his head again, and said, "Pang Degong, Shi Yuan's close uncle, has always been the object of attention of the Lord and Zici. It is said that he has countless ties with the Kuai family in Jingzhou. However, Shiyuan suddenly broke off with pound a few years ago, but we can't know why. But I'd rather believe that it has something to do with it or not. This matter has something to do with the success of Soochow's expedition. I have to be careful! "
Gan Ning also agreed with Xu Shu's opinion, saying: "this time our army's going out is sure. Even if it was delayed by Pang Tong for half a month, it has nothing to do with it. Even if it is a strong attack, we can easily win. If Pang Tong's words are true, then we must be really careful. Listen to Pang Tong's tone, Jingzhou will change dramatically. If we take the risk of intervening in Jingzhou, we are afraid that we will not be able to steal food at that time, and we will get into trouble! "
Xu Shu sighed and said, "it's a pity that Zhou Gongjin hasn't arrived in Wancheng with his son and grandson. Otherwise, with Zhou Gongjin's intelligence, he can also come up with ideas. Why don't we wait until Gongjin comes and discuss it again? "
Ganning said, "no way! In the next ten days, we will send troops from Changsha. If we don't report to Jianye as soon as possible, I'm afraid we can't get to Changsha and inform general Cheng before we send troops. "
Huang Gai nodded and immediately spread out the silk cloth on the table and made an invitation to Xu Shu. After all, after all, after Xu Shu arrived at Lujiang, Xu Shu, the prefect of Lujiang, was replaced by Xu Shu. It was better for Xu Shu to report to Jianye.
Xu Shu was not polite. He immediately wrote down the story of Pang Tong on the silk cloth. After drying the ink, he folded it and put it into a brocade bag. Gan Ning just wanted to call a sergeant over, but was stopped by Xu Shu. "It's too slow to deliver by ordinary Messenger," Xu said After that, Xu Shu suddenly slapped eight times out of the window.
Suddenly, a head stretched out from under the eaves of the house and reached the window. He clasped hands and said to Xu Shu, "I've met you adults! What can I do for you, my lord
Different from Huang Gai and Gan Ning's surprised expression, Xu Shu said solemnly to the head, "I have an information that must be given to the Lord as soon as possible." Then he handed the brocade bag to the head.
He did not see how to move. A dark shadow flashed by, and the brocade bag in Xu Shu's hand disappeared. The head said, "please rest assured. The villain will deliver this letter to Jianye on time." Then, in the blink of an eye, the head disappeared.
"Yuanzhi, is that the snake part just now?" Huang Gai asked in surprise. When Chen Ren proposed to set up an intelligence department, Huang Gai and Gan Ning were also present. In recent years, they have vaguely known something about the snake department, but they never thought that the snake department could be so mysterious.
Xu Shu nodded. At the moment, his mind had completely shifted to the analysis of the situation in Jingzhou.
The speed of information transmission by the snake department is the fastest in this era. In less than a day, Xu Shu's information has been transferred from Wancheng to Cheng Yu, the headquarters of the snake department in Jianye city. Cheng Yu originally wanted to open the brocade bag, but found that this brocade bag is not the special brocade bag that the snake department always transmits messages. He immediately knew that this should be Xu Shu's news from Lujiang, and Cheng Yu immediately ordered people to transfer it to Sun Jian.
At this time, Sun Jian is good at persuading Chen Ren. After all, he can hide for a while, but he can't hide for a lifetime. Since Chen Ren has already completed this task, Sun Jian doesn't need to dodge. The most important thing is to pacify Chen Ren.
"My Lord! It's not that I want to get rid of it. Those people you give are really not good! " Chen Ren was very depressed. The civil and military officials arranged by Sun Jian only stayed in the military camp for about ten days, and they complained bitterly. Only three or four people passed the examination.
However, Sun Jian tried to put these officials into Chen Ren's hands. Now Sun Jian regards Chen Ren as a training master. Anyone who stays under Chen Ren's hand for a period of time will surely become a talent. Besides, Bao Bao, the present prefect of Yuzhang, is a good example. After staying under his own account for so long, he has become a valiant general. Sun Jian is now looking forward to what changes will happen to these officials after he fought the war with Chen Ren.
