"Liu Biao still won't sell any provisions?" Pang Tong had been waiting in the relay station for several days. He put down the information in his hand and asked the person in charge of negotiating provisions with Jingzhou.
"It's not that he won't sell. It's just that the officials in charge of provisions in Jingzhou only meet once in a while. Every time they meet, they will only sell less than 100 dans of provisions!" The official in charge of purchasing provisions reported to Pang Tong.
Pang Tong sneered when he heard this. "Then what's the difference between this and not selling?" Pang Tong's lord, Liu Bei of Yuzhou, sold a hundred dans of provisions in a few days. Pang Tong's lord, Liu Bei of Yuzhou, had to raise nearly 100,000 troops.
"Military Advisor, what about this?" The official in charge of purchasing provisions felt helpless. He couldn't possibly conjure provisions out of thin air.
Pang Tong paced back and forth in the room, thinking in a low voice. A few days ago, Liu Biao of Jingzhou had been very generous with provisions. Because of the problem with Liu Mang's army, Liu Biao of Jingzhou had even planned to give out provisions for free. However, now it had become like this. The strangeness lay with Liu Mang, who had just arrived in Jingzhou.
"Liu Mang, Liu Mang, it's always him!" Since Pang Tong's debut, it could be said that he had won against Xu Shu, who was at the same level as him. He had also won against Cao Cao's subordinate, Xun Yu. However, in front of His Highness, the King Of Shu, he kept getting into trouble.
Liu Biao didn't sell provisions to Pang Tong because of Liu Mang's arrival, Liu Biao looked down on Liu Bei of Yuzhou. That was right. Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu of Nanyang had attacked Yangzhou together and failed to take it. Although they had occupied the territory of their ally, Zhang Xiu, they were no longer as strong as before. Therefore, in Liu Biao's opinion, being closer to Liu Mang of Yangzhou was better than being closer to Liu Bei of Yuzhou.
Because Liu Mang was in Jingzhou, no matter how the Lvbu's Army developed, as long as Liu Mang was still a hostage, the Lvbu's Army would not dare to act rashly.
Liu Bei was someone who was abandoned by Liu Biao of Jingzhou.
"Humph, you want to abandon my lord? Dream on! " Pang Tong snorted coldly. The information in his hands was about Liu Mang's Army's expedition to Nanyang.
"Men, prepare a horse for me. Follow me to the Governor's Mansion!" Pang Tong ordered his subordinates. In this era, scholars mostly learned fencing, riding, and archery. Therefore, most of them rode horses, unlike the weak scholars of the Ming and Qing Dynasties who could only sit on palanquins.
"Yes!" The subordinates quickly prepared a horse for Pang Tong.
Pang Tong mounted the horse and immediately galloped towards the Governor's Mansion.
Pang Tong's horse quickly arrived outside Liu Biao's Mansion. As soon as he dismounted, he wanted to go forward to report. However, he was stopped by two Jingzhou soldiers.
"Who is it!" The two Jingzhou soldiers raised their halberds and stood in front of Pang Tong.
"Who is it?" Pang Tong immediately narrowed his eyes. The two guards in front of Liu Biao's Mansion were Liu Biao's personal guards. There were only a few groups of people who changed shifts. They were all familiar faces. How could they not recognize Pang Tong? A few days ago, Pang Tong often went in and out of the Governor's Mansion. These personal guards were obedient to Pang Tong and welcomed him with smiles. They might have already reported to Liu Biao before Pang Tong even got off his horse. They even let Pang Tong go in to see Liu Biao. However, they were now blocking Pang Tong's way and asking who he was.
"How dare you! How can you not recognize our Military Advisor? Get out of the way!" Pang Tong's subordinates came forward and scolded the two Jingzhou soldiers.
"Military Advisor? Hehe, our Jingzhou's Military Advisor is Cai Pa, and we don't know any bullshit Military Advisor! "The two bodyguards immediately began to speak in a strange tone.
"Black Face Military Advisor?" This was simply a humiliation. Pang Tong was someone who cared a lot about his appearance. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so competitive. Even Tang Yun's death was partly due to Pang Tong's intention. It was because Pang Tong and Tang Yun were once said to be a servant. This caused Pang Tong to have the intention to kill Tang Yun.
Now, Liu Biao's personal guards actually dared to say such words. It was simply pointing at Pang Tong's nose and scolding him.
"How dare you! You, you!" Pang Tong's bodyguards were a little worried. One must know that when the second young master of the Pang Family was made fun of for his appearance, someone would definitely be in trouble. Moreover, when the master was humiliated, the subordinates would have to die. Seeing their master being humiliated like this, the bodyguards immediately drew their swords from their waists.
"What? How dare you be so presumptuous in front of the Governor's Mansion? Do you want to die?! " Seeing Pang Tong's guards draw their swords, these guards of Liu Biao didn't care about the threat at all. They even dared to draw their swords. With an order, dozens of soldiers of Jingzhou immediately surrounded them.
They held spears and swords in their hands and immediately surrounded Pang Tong and his men.
"Protect the Military Advisor!" Although these Military Advisors had long weapons in their hands and there were many of them, the guards who came with Pang Tong weren't afraid. This was because they were all experts in Liu Bei's army. They were all experienced soldiers. It might be an exaggeration to say that one of them could take on ten people, but one of them could take on five. Moreover, how many of these guards of Jingzhou had been on the battlefield? Most of them were young masters. Therefore, these guards weren't afraid at all.
One side relied on their numbers and the other side relied on their experience in battle. They confronted each other. Arrows and crossbows were drawn. If something went wrong, it would be a massacre.
"I advise you to put down your weapons and surrender obediently. Otherwise, you will die a horrible death!"
"It's hard to say who will live and who will die!" Pang Tong's guards sneered. The murderous intent on their bodies made the people around them feel a chill.
"Put them down!" Just when both sides were very nervous, a voice was heard.
"What?"
"I said put down your weapons. Didn't you hear me?" Pang Tong raised his voice again.
"Military Advisor?" Pang Tong's guards didn't understand and asked Pang Tong.
"Put down your weapons. They won't dare to do anything to me!" Pang Tong continued to speak, but this time, he engraved the words of the leader who said that Pang Tong was Black Fatty's personal guard into his mind.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Although the guards were unwilling, they still obeyed Pang Tong's order and put down their weapons.
Seeing that Pang Tong's guards had put down their weapons, the leader of the guards shouted, "Men, arrest all these rebels and send them to the prison in Jingzhou. They will wait for the Provincial Governor to deal with them!" The leader of the guards was vicious. He directly labeled Pang Tong and his men as rebels. If he acted first and reported later, it would be a big joke.
"Military Advisor? Military Advisor?" The guards wanted to resist but were stopped by Pang Tong. "The Provincial Governor of Yuzhou, Left General Liu Bei, Liu Xuande's subordinate. Military Advisor Pang Tong, Pang Shiyuan, requests to see the Provincial Governor of Jingzhou, Lord Liu Biao. Please inform him!"
