Chapter 42: Pang Tong’s shock at Zhuge Liang’s recognition of him as his master

Liu Wu walked out of the thatched cottage and immediately saw Pang Tong.

Similarly, Pang Tong also looked at Liu Wu, but Pang Tong’s face was full of confidence at first, but when he saw Liu Wu’s face, he was stunned.

Then he carefully looked at Liu Wu’s appearance, somewhat puzzled. Pang Tong showed a puzzled look on his face and said:
“Are you Liu Bei? No, Liu Bei is not that young. Doesn’t Liu Bei want to see me? Why don’t you ask Liu Bei to come out? If you want to see me, why are you beating around the bush?”

Pang Tong said with some dissatisfaction.

At this time, Zhao Yun, who was standing by, interrupted Pang Tong and said:

“Mr. Pang, Rong Yun did not make it clear that my Lord is the person in front of us.”

Pang Tong was stunned by Zhao Yun’s words. He looked at Zhao Yun fiercely and said in surprise:

“What did you say? Isn’t your lord Liu Bei? Aren’t you a general under Liu Bei?”

Pang Tong was a little stunned and looked at Zhao Yun in surprise.

After receiving the letter from Zhao Yun to Zhuge Liang, he learned that the person coming was Zhao Yun, and subconsciously thought that Liu Bei came to recruit him.

So, he came here happily.

But what is happening now?
The master Zhao Yun was talking about was the young man in front of him?

Although this young man looks similar to Liu Bei, he is too young and definitely cannot be Liu Bei.

“The Lord of Nanyang, Liu Wu Liu Zihao, greets you, sir.”

At this time, Liu Wu spoke, bowed to Pang Tong and introduced himself.

As soon as Liu Wu opened his mouth, Pang Tong’s attention was immediately diverted from Zhao Yun to Liu Wu.

Lord of Nanyang?

Pang Tong looked at Liu Wu with surprise and doubt in his eyes, and many thoughts flashed through his mind.

Before Pang Tong could speak, Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang stepped out from the thatched cottage.

“Shi Yuan, why are you so impatient? Come in and have a bottle of warm wine.”

Zhuge Liang said to Pang Tong with a smile.

Listening to Zhuge Liang’s words, Pang Tong’s eyes flashed, and his gaze moved between Liu Wu, Zhao Yun and Xu Shu who appeared.

“Haha, good, good Liu Wu Liu Zihao, I didn’t expect that Cao Ren, a famous general, would die in your hands. You took over Xinye Wenwu, took Nanyang County, and married into Jiangdong. Interesting, interesting.”

“Kong Ming, Yuan Zhi, it’s been a long time since we last met. Let’s drink together, haha!”

Pang Tong was so smart that he guessed the situation in Nanyang from just a few words. He looked at Liu Wu and then laughed.

“Shiyuan, my lord, please come in!” Zhuge Liang gently waved his feather fan and said to Pang Tong and Liu Wu.

“What? My Lord!”

In the courtyard, Zhuge Liang’s words “My lord, please” startled Pang Tong, who looked at Zhuge Liang and Liu Wu with a shocked expression.

Zhuge Liang actually recognized the young man in front of him as his lord? ? ! !
Pang Tong couldn’t help but be shocked. In fact, this was really beyond his expectations.

In Pang Tong’s eyes, Zhuge Liang was a very talented friend with great vision and confidence.

You should know that Zhuge Liang often compared himself to Guan Zhong and Yue Yi, and used them as role models.

Who is Guan Zhong? He was a famous minister of the State of Qi during the Spring and Autumn Period. Guan Zhong assisted Duke Huan of Qi in becoming the leader of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period and was known for his outstanding ability in governing the country and his profound strategic vision.

Who was Le Yi? He was an outstanding commander of the State of Yan during the Warring States Period. He led the coalition forces of five countries to capture more than 70 cities of the State of Qi and almost destroyed the State of Qi, demonstrating his extraordinary military talent and strategic wisdom.

When Zhuge Liang was studying, and even when he was farming in Nanyang, he often compared himself to Guan Zhong and Yue Yi, which undoubtedly showed that he had great confidence in his political and military talents.

Of course, Pang Tong knew very well that Zhuge Liang’s comparison of himself to Guan Zhong and Yue Yi was not out of blind self-esteem, but was based on Zhuge Liang’s confidence in his political and military talents and his own ambitions.

They are both called Sleeping Dragon and Phoenix Chick by the people of Jingzhou.

Pang Tong knew that Zhuge Liang’s talent and strategy were worthy of such a reputation, but why did Zhuge Liang suddenly recognize his master?
The Liu Wu in front of me? ! !
Pang Tong looked at Liu Wu in shock. He seemed to want to find out what kind of ability Liu Wu had that could make Zhuge Liang, who thought highly of himself, recognize him as his master.

After everyone entered the thatched cottage and sat down, Pang Tong could not help but asked Liu Wu:

“I’m curious, how did you get Yuan Zhi and generals like Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun to help you, and how did you convince Kong Ming and make him worship you as his master?”

Pang Tong was impatient, but he didn’t beat around the bush. The look in his eyes almost said “I don’t understand”.

Pang Tong was very surprised and suspicious of the young Liu Wu.

At the same time, Liu Wu’s eyes were filled with passion as he looked at Pang Tong’s attribute panel.

[Name]: Pang Tong, courtesy name Shiyuan
[Faction]: None

[Politics] (maximum value 110): 101. One of the world’s top political and domestic affairs talents.

[Strategy] (Full value 110): 106. One of the world’s top wise men, he advocates the diversity of military tactics. He is not only good at frontal combat tactics, but also good at using innovative tactical means such as ambushes, surprise attacks and sneak attacks.

【Lord】: None
【Loyalty】: None
[Historical evaluation: He and Zhuge Liang were called “Wolong and Fengchu”, which shows that he was an outstanding strategist with outstanding wisdom, far-sighted strategic vision, and good at identifying and employing people. However, due to his early death, his talents were not fully demonstrated, which also left him with some regrets in history. Despite this, the wisdom, strategic vision and ability to identify and employ people that Pang Tong showed in his limited life were enough to make him one of the most outstanding strategists in the Three Kingdoms period. ]

Perhaps Pang Tong’s political ability is not as good as Zhuge Liang’s, but in terms of military tactics, Pang Tong is definitely a top talent of this period.

Listening to Pang Tong’s straightforward questioning, Liu Wu restrained his burning gaze. Looking at Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu with smiles on their faces, Liu Wu felt relieved. He knew that with the assistance of these two people, as long as he played normally, Pang Tong would definitely fall into his trap.

Liu Wu bowed to Pang Tong and said with a smile…
