Not long after, the entire camp of Liu Bei's Army began to move. Not only did the Xiliang Cavalry appear, but also Liu Bei's Yuzhou Yellow Turban Army, Zhang Fei's Qingzhou Army, and even Chen Dao's White Eared Heavy Armored Soldiers appeared.
"Hmph!" Xu Shu coldly snorted. Liu Bei was determined to defeat him. His army was ready to take down Shouchun.
The army moved side by side. The ones at the front were naturally the generals of Liu Bei's Army. Zhang Xiu was also among them. A dark-faced man wearing battle armor walked out of Liu Bei's Army. He was wearing a green robe and directly rode to the front of the army.
"Yuanzhi, we haven't seen each other for a few months. I miss you very much!" The dark-skinned fatty who spoke was Liu Bei's Military Advisor, Pang Tong, Pang Shiyuan.
"Hehe, Shiyuan, you said you were staying in the thatched hut at Nanyang. Why are you here?" Xu Shu and Pang Tong had met when Liu Bei attacked Shouchun. However, they had met hundreds of meters apart. They had never had such a conversation before.
"You, Xu Shu, Xu Yuanzhi, can come out. Why can't I?" My lord, Lord Xuande, I believe Yuanzhi has already seen him. As for Yuanzhi, forgive me for saying too much about your lord. It's one thing for you to pick up teeth, but now even Kongming is unwilling to come, but Yuanzhi, you … sigh! " Pang Tong directly shook his head. His expression showed that he was doing Xu Shu a favor. Liu Mang was Kongming's first choice. Kongming's evaluation of Liu Mang was very high. This was what Xu Shu was interested in. However, what really made Xu Shu calm down and kneel in front of Liu Mang was the day in Hefei. Liu Mang had clearly divided the rewards and punishments in front of those who came to Hefei. This was the reason why Xu Shu wanted to join Liu Mang's Army. To be honest, it had nothing to do with Liu Mang. Xu Shu originally wanted to go to Liu Bei's place to take a look. However, Liu Mang's recruitment order was too attractive.
But now, Pang Tong directly ridiculed Xu Shu and even said that Liu Mang was a person that Kongming looked down on. If Pang Tong only talked about Xu Shu, Xu Shu might be able to endure it. However, once he mentioned Liu Mang, Xu Shu naturally would not be polite to Pang Tong. "Congratulations, Shiyuan.
Shiyuan's lord, Lord Xuande, is indeed a person who can achieve great things. A man of character knows when to yield and when to stand tall. A man of character knows when to yield and when to stand tall. When my family's Wen Hou seized Lord Xuande's foundation in Xu Province, Lord Xuande welcomed him with a smile. After that, Lord Xuande also tolerated Cao Mengde. Even His Majesty, the Han Emperor, couldn't see through Lord Xuande. Lord Xuande is really a rare hero in the world! " Xu Yuanzhi's words seemed to be protecting Liu Bei. Xu Shu even bowed to Liu Bei once after he finished speaking. However, in reality, every word of Xu Yuanzhi's was true.
A man of character knows when to yield and when to stand tall. Although this was a common saying and was also a comforting saying, it couldn't be said in public. This sentence could be said to be good at enduring, but it could also be said to be a coward. Being a coward once was fine, but being a coward all the time. What's the point of following such a lord? Perhaps one could say that one could tolerate things that the world couldn't tolerate, and one could achieve things that the world couldn't. However, what was the most difficult thing to achieve in the world? For Liu Bei, who was already in a high position as the Left General and had the title of Emperor Liu, the most difficult thing to achieve was probably becoming the Emperor! Wasn't this clearly a rebellion? He directly pointed at Liu Bei's nose and scolded that he was a treacherous hypocrite who wanted to plot against the Emperor.
"Yuanzhi, you still don't know how to appreciate favors!" Pang Tong's eyes turned cold. Pang Tong and Xu Shu were not the same kind of people when Xu Shu was studying. What was Xu Shu? Xu Shu was a child of a poor family. He used to be a Ranger. If he didn't go to study, Xu Shu wouldn't be a resourceful military advisor now, but a simple-minded but well-developed general.
Xu Shu was a child of a poor family. He was almost executed on the spot after killing someone. Only then did he learn martial arts. At most, he could fight against a thousand people. If he wanted to fight against ten thousand people, he must have knowledge. Therefore, Xu Shu went to study. However, Xu Shu was a child of a poor family. If he wanted to study, he naturally had to find talented people. Talented people were almost all famous people. Naturally, the famous people would not accept a child of a poor family. Therefore, Xu Shu's path of learning was very difficult. Because he was a child of a poor family and because he was a bandit, basically no one would accept him as a disciple. Only Master Shui Jing sincerely helped Xu Shu. Under Master Shui Jing's guidance, Xu Shu was not the only one. There was also Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang, Shi Tao, and many other children of Jing Province's nobles. Therefore, in terms of class, Xu Shu was not at the same level as them. Because of this, Xu Shu also suffered a lot of humiliation. This was an anecdote of Xu Shu. It was said that Xu Shu studied hard, but it was also a hardship for Xu Shu. He was looked down upon, ignored, and even humiliated. If he wanted to maintain his dignity, he would naturally work hard to study.
Pang Tong said that Xu Shu didn't know how to appreciate favors because Pang Tong's uncle, Pang Degong, thought highly of Xu Shu. Because of his uncle, Pang Tong wanted to help Xu Shu. He wanted to use his family's reputation to warn the nobles not to humiliate Xu Shu. However, Pang Tong didn't know that this was actually a humiliation to Xu Shu. Xu Shu was also a man. Why should he be protected under your wings?
For his dignity, Xu Shu resolutely refused. This made Pang Tong feel that he didn't know how to appreciate favors. Later, because of Zhuge Liang, they got to know each other again. However, they were only friends.
"Shiyuan, you are still so competitive!" Pang Shiyuan said. Xu Shu was humiliated, but Pang Shiyuan was always calm in the academy. Pang Tong's path to learning wasn't smooth either. This was because of his appearance and height. It can be said that Pang Tong wasn't much better than Xu Shu. Xu Shu was looked down upon and humiliated because of his background. As for Pang Tong, it was because of his appearance. Since ancient times, people said that they didn't care about appearance, but in reality, appearance still played a large role. Otherwise, Zhong Kui's incident wouldn't have happened. Pang Tong was ugly, short, tanned, and fat. Naturally, he was ridiculed by others. The small clans didn't dare, but the Cai Family, the Kuai Family, and the Huang Family didn't have any misgivings. Xu Shu was humiliated, but Pang Tong was also humiliated.
So in order to not be ridiculed, Pang Tong naturally wanted to compete with others. He wanted to show off and hide his inferiority. When you hit someone, don't hit their face. The two of them had completely picked up on each other's shortcomings. Naturally, their words were full of gunpowder.
The two of them looked at each other. Suddenly, Pang Tong laughed. "Haha, haha!"
"Pang Shiyuan, what is so funny about you?" Xu Shu shouted coldly. He didn't call Pang Tong by his courtesy name. This meant that the two of them were no longer talking about friendship, but about opposition.
"I, Pang Shiyuan, am laughing because soon, you, Xu Yuanzhi, will hand over Shouchun and become my prisoner!"
"You must be dreaming!" Xu Shu interrupted Pang Tong.
"Xu Yuanzhi, don't you know if I am dreaming or not? Men, bring him here! "Pang Tong said coldly. A carriage was driven out from the camp.
"Let me go! Let me go!" A woman's voice came from the carriage. Xu Shu's face was ashen. He didn't expect this to be true.
