Pang Tong knew many people in Jiangdong, but his best friend was Zhou Yu.
After Zhou Yu died, it was Pang Tong who sent the funeral to Jiangdong. Everything was for his good friend.
However, Pang Tong learned the truth from Lu Su.
He did not expect that the one who forced Zhou Gongjin to death was his lord, Sun Quan.
He would rather put the blame on Bai Feng and believe that Bai Feng forced Sun Quan to death.
However, reality was cruel.
Not only did this have nothing to do with Bai Feng, but Bai Feng also did not participate in the Battle of Red Cliff.
This matter was a fatal blow to Pang Tong.
However, now that the Sun Liu Alliance and Pang Tong had joined Liu Bei's camp, he could not take revenge on Sun Quan.
However, Pang Tong still wanted to meet Sun Quan and see who he was.
Liu Bei understood Pang Tong's feelings and sighed helplessly.
"This matter can be done, but Shiyuan, don't blame me for not reminding you.
"The current Sun Quan cannot be touched."
Pang Tong nodded heavily.
"Please rest assured, my lord. This one will definitely not act on impulse."
"The reason I'm heading there this time is to meet Sun Quan and find out more about this person."
"The other reason is to help Kongming do a good job.
"No matter what, we will definitely break with Sun Quan in the future. It is better to be prepared.
"This kind of person is not suitable to be an ally."
Hearing Pang Tong's words, Liu Bei could not help but nod.
Pang Tong's words were not spoken out of anger. Instead, he was speaking the truth.
Regardless of whether Zhou Yu was involved or not, Sun Quan was not an ally that they could work with in the long term.
The things that Sun Quan did were things that Liu Bei would never look up to.
If he had a choice, Liu Bei would never choose to ally with Sun Quan.
Sun Quan's eldest brother, Sun Ce, and father, Sun Jian, were ten thousand times better than Sun Quan.
Sometimes, Liu Bei even suspected that Sun Quan would stab him in the back.
After all, in Sun Quan's eyes, he only cared about his own interests.
In fact, Liu Bei still had some concerns about Sun Quan sending soldiers to help.
With Sun Quan's personality, if Cao kept attacking Jingzhou, Sun Quan might not return Jingnan.
However, there was nothing he could do about it.
With Liu Bei's current strength, there was no way he could fight Cao Cao head-on.
Without Sun Quan's Jiangdong Army, he could not stop Cao Cao's attack.
"Thank you for your understanding, Milord. Very well, Kongming and I will set out in a moment."
Pang Tong said respectfully.
From this, Pang Tong could see that his choice to follow Liu Bei was not wrong.
He said it so straightforwardly. Other than Liu Bei, no other lord would choose to believe him.
When the two set out, Pang Tong could not help but frown. He said to Zhuge Liang.
"Kongming, there's still something I don't understand."
"You're usually the most stable."
"Why are you in such a hurry this time? Why do you want to go to Jiangdong immediately after making a decision?"
Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly.
"There's nothing I can do about it."
"Do you know that Bai Feng is going to Hanzhong to be the governor?"
Pang Tong was slightly taken aback.
"What? Why would Bai Feng make such a choice? "
Pang Tong obviously did not expect that Bai Feng would choose to go to Hanzhong to be the governor.
Zhuge Liang sighed faintly. Pang Tong could not help but be more curious.
"Bai Feng is not participating in the battlefield, but he is going to be the governor. This is great news for us."
"Why is Kongming still so unhappy?"
Zhuge Liang pursed his lips and said.
"This is definitely not as simple as it looks."
"You and I have both fought with Bai Feng before. Do you think that Bai Feng is the kind of person who is willing to be behind others?"
Pang Tong shook his head.
"No."
"Bai Feng's strategy is extremely vicious, and he is very good at showing off. Every time he uses a strategy, he will become the focus of the entire battlefield."
"Logically speaking, he should not have chosen to retreat behind the scenes …"
Zhuge Liang frowned and said.
"So, there are only two possibilities."
"First, Bai Feng is too showy, and his achievements overshadow his master's, causing Cao Cao to be dissatisfied."
"Bai Feng is a sensible person, and he has no choice but to use this method to protect himself."
Pang Tong was stunned at first, then he shook his head.
"I'm afraid that's not very likely."
"Although Cao Cao is suspicious, he has always been the kind of person who does not use people he suspects. He also values talents very much."
"For a talent like Bai Feng, even if Cao Cao is suspicious, he will definitely make a move after using him."
"If Bai Feng retreats at this time, wouldn't it be obvious that he has disloyal intentions?"
Zhuge Liang nodded heavily and said, "Shi Shiyuan is right.
"What Shi Yuan said is true. I think so too."
"This possibility is slim, so there is only one other possibility left."
"Bai Feng is hiding his strength and biding his time. I'm afraid he is preparing for some big move that cannot be revealed."
Pang Tong immediately frowned.
"Hiding his strength and biding his time?"
"This … is not very likely, right?"
"Cao Cao now has the upper hand in all aspects. Bai Feng has no reason to do this."
"Even if the Cao Army moves out now, with the current Sun Liu Army, they may not be unable to break through."
"Wouldn't it be more convenient for us if he left some time?"
Zhuge Liang gently waved his feather fan and said,
"Shiyuan, your view is a little shallow."
"We will think of a way to expand our territory to the south later. How can Bai Feng not think of it?"
"He has probably already thought of a way. Even if we expand our territory to the south, if we fail and retreat from the Central Plains and bide our time, he will still have a way to kill us all."
"What?! How is this possible?! "
Pang Tong instantly turned pale with fright.
This was absolutely impossible!
Even if that Bai Feng had three heads and six arms, he would not have the ability to completely kill off the two feudal lords!
Although Cao Cao was powerful, if he gave up on the Central Plains and fought guerrilla warfare with Cao Cao and kept retreating to the south, once the battle line was stretched out, Cao Cao would not be able to do anything.
Did he still have various foreign tribes in the north? Once the expedition to the south was too strong, the foreign tribes would definitely become disloyal.
At that time, Cao Cao would be in a dilemma.
Therefore, there was no solution at all!
Zhuge Liang glanced at Pang Tong and understood.
Pang Tong had the same idea as him.
Zhuge Liang continued.
"The two of us might not be able to think of a solution, but that Bai Feng might be able to."
"It's better to leave some preparations for everything. If he really does have a plan, it will be easier for us to face him."
"Therefore, the best thing for us to do now is to act quickly."
"Once we discover anything unusual, we must report it to the Lord and evacuate from the Central Plains as soon as possible."
Pang Tong could not help but sigh faintly.
"I didn't expect that we would be forced into such a state by one Bai Feng."
