After Liu Bei entered Changsha, Pang Shanmin did not order him to quickly go to Jiangxia to take up his post. Now neither the Sun nor Cao families dare to start a war lightly. There is no need to worry about Jiangxia's peace, and Liu Bei reunited with his brother. Although Pang Shanmin hates Liu Bei, he I also want to give Guan Yu and Zhang Fei some face. In recent times, they have not caused any trouble to Liu Bei.
He acted like this because Pang Shanmin wanted to see how far Liu Bei could tolerate it. Pang Shanmin naturally didn't believe it. A little setback would make Liu Bei forget his ambitions. What Pang Shanmin was most concerned about was the attitude of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. , will it change due to the arrival of Liu Bei?
Men¡¯s commitment and brotherhood.
It is probably difficult for Guan and Zhang to make a choice, but based on Pang Shanmin's understanding of these two people, he is more willing to believe that they have given up their previous ideas of assisting Liu Bei and reviving the Han Dynasty. After all, Yu Jingxiang has been doing this for more than half a year. The common people knew about the Tang Marquis but did not know about the Han Emperor. The people's sentiments were like this. Even if these two people had some brains, they should think more about which side to choose at the ideal fork in the road.
The Han Dynasty is indeed in a state of decay. The royal family has no majesty and no kindness to the people. The three major princes stand in a powerful position. No one of them cares about the attitude of the current emperor. Although Cao Cao is holding the emperor hostage, he should also find that the current Han emperor is far away. It is far less useful than it was ten years ago. Today's Xudu court can only show off in granting officials and titles. This is also the last fig leaf left in the world for the waning Han Dynasty.
As Pang Shanmin expected, Liu Bei did not give up his ambition, but the current situation in Jingxiang. It was not what Liu Bei expected.
Liu Bei was naturally overjoyed when he reunited with Guan and Zhang and saw that they were safe and sound. However, Liu Bei was a little surprised by their attitude towards Pangshan people. Liu Bei had not served other princes before, but at that time, both Guan and Zhang regarded Liu Bei as . Liu Bei knew that the two of them would not accept soft or hard advice and were loyal. But they never expected that after entering Jingxiang, these two people would turn on Pang Shanmin, a Han thief. Quite respectful.
Such a situation forced Liu Bei to be cautious in his words and deeds. After all, if he wanted to fight in the world again in the future, Guan Yu and Zhang should still be his closest and most trusted brothers. However, in the past few days, Liu Bei suddenly discovered that Guan Yu, Zhang The two Fei people actually didn't like Jing Xiang's comfortable life. I enjoyed it and got along extremely well with Lieutenant General Jing Xiang.
Liu Bei also knew that the people of Pangshan were different from other princes, so he simply restrained his impatience and planned to slowly see the reason for the prosperity of Jingxiang. Liu Bei knew very well that if he wanted to replace Pang Shanmin in the future, he must first protect the interests of the officials under Pang Shanmin's account, as well as many aristocratic families and other interest groups.
Since Pang Shanmin allowed him to stay in Changsha for a long time, he would take this opportunity to make more friends with Jingxiang officials. Since Liu Bei's war in troubled times, he has been in a situation where no one is available. Since there are many talented people in Jing and Xiang, Liu Bei does not want to miss the opportunity to make friends with them.
A few days later, Pang Shanmin received Cao Cao's handwriting, and also went to Changsha with the imperial edict. Pang Shanmin's petition to the Five Tiger Generals was approved by the imperial court. Now Guan Yu and others are even more famous in the world today.
Although this move was to win the loyalty of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun, it also aroused the suspicion of many generals in Jingxiang. Soon, Pangshan people got letters from various generals in Hanzhong, Chang'an, and Xichuan. There were many letters. There is a sense of dissatisfaction with the three people.
Although the three of them were skilled in martial arts, they had no meritorious service. Pang Shanmin naturally understood the doubts of Wei Yan and others, but they were detailed, but Pang Shanmin was not able to explain them to outsiders. He could not tell the generals. He did this just to make good friends with the three of them. Make him loyal.
Therefore, taking advantage of the fact that there is no war in all the surrounding areas, the people of Pangshan want to summon the generals to Xiangyang to appease the generals, and also to gather the five tigers together so that the new generals and commanders in Jingxiang can become familiar with each other.
As soon as Pang Shanmin's edict came out, all the generals came to Xiangyang together, and Pang Shanmin also drove with Zhuge Liang in the same carriage to Xiangyang.
After arriving in Xiangyang, Pang Shanmin discovered that Wei Yan and Dong Heng had arrived early. Dong Heng was by Wei Yan's side, repeatedly consoling and saying that Zhang was extraordinary, and Pang Shanmin's arrangement had a deeper meaning. However, Wei Yan was so angry that he couldn't calm down. As soon as Pang Shanmin entered the court, he saw Wei Yan walking forward rather angrily and said to Pang Shanmin: "Mountain, why is Wei not one of the Five Tigers?"
Before Pang Shanmin could speak, he heard Dong Heng shout: "Wen Chang, the five tigers can naturally deal with no one, and Wen Chang is brave, indeed not as good as the old general of the Han Dynasty! But the remaining four can all compete with the old general on the battlefield." Fight against each other!"
Hearing Dong Heng's words, Pangshan people waved their hands and smiled at Wei Yan: "Why does the editor care about this mere name? The name of the Five Tiger Generals is just because Pang knows these five people. It is rare to have an opponent in this world. If the editor doesn't believe it, , you can verify it in the school field Could it be that Wen Chang said this because he wanted to ask Pang for an official position? Is he dissatisfied with the position of Hanzhong Prefect?"
Wei Yan shook his head when he heard this,He took matters into his own hands and said: "It's not enough to remind the mountain people that Wei also wants to try out the martial arts skills of several people. However, the mountain people should not misunderstand. Wei is not dissatisfied with his current status. A few years ago, Wei was still a patrolling school in the city." Lieutenant, today, Wei has ensured the safety of a county, and the mountain people have treated him kindly, how could Wei forget?"
"If it's just to test the martial arts, Chang Wen must be mentally prepared early" Pang Shanmin said, shaking his head slightly, obviously not optimistic about Wei Yan's ability to defeat the five tigers. In Pang Shanmin's view, the five tiger generals are the only ones to be eliminated. Empress Lu Bu has the best fighting force in the world. With these five people, she can fight with the other two princes and generals on the battlefield at any time. She no longer has to be bullied by Cao Cao like the people under Runan City did before
How could the Xiahou brothers be forced to that point if only one of the five tigers was by his side that day?
Wei Yan was not a fool. Seeing Pang Shanmin and Dong Heng praising the Five Tiger Generals so highly, he also put aside his previous contempt for Guan Yu and others. Among the five tigers, the only one Wei Yan admired was Huang Zhong. One person, but now there are four more people alongside General Huang. Wei Yan always felt that he was a dwarf, so he was anxious before.
Now that he calmed down, Wei Yan also thought that Dong Heng and his martial arts rivals all praised these five people so highly. It must be true what Pang Shanmin said, but Wei Yan is not an ordinary martial artist. He has no less ambition and is quite impressive. He glanced at Pang Shanmin angrily and said to Pang Shanmin: "Then Wei wants to try it. What is the ability of a person who is praised highly by the mountain people!"
"I have the same idea as General Wei!"
While a few people were talking and laughing, another old general stepped into the hall. Pang Shanmin followed the reputation, but it was Yan Yan, the veteran general of Xichuan. After Pang Shanmin saw Yan Yan, he smiled at Yan Yan and said, "The killing spirit of the old general is not inferior to that of the past!"
Hearing this, Yan Yan cupped his fists and saluted, and smiled at Pang Shanmin: "In recent years, I have fought many battles with the Southern Barbarians. My sword has not rusted, but it has not rusted! It's just that the Southern Barbarians have stopped a lot now. I came here not only to see the majesty of these five tigers, but also to see the majesty of these five tigers. I also want to ask Marquis Tang to make another arrangement with me. To be honest with Marquis Tang, I also want to take advantage of the opportunity to use the sword now to make some meritorious deeds for Marquis Tang!"
Hearing this, the people of Pangshan laughed and said: "Now that the southern barbarians are stable, we have summoned generals from all walks of life. Pang also has plans to mobilize the guards from various places. Although Pang has a three-year agreement with Cao Cao, Yongliang has a new acquisition. Since There are generals who can use their strength!"
"That's very good!" Yan Yan couldn't help but laugh loudly when he heard this, and said to Pang Shanmin: "After fighting the barbarians, it's time to fight the Qiang again!"
Before Yan Yan¡¯s laughter subsided, another person outside the hall shouted: "Who is so brazen? You old man, how dare you underestimate the barbarian, and let me, Shamoko, come to meet you and let you know how powerful the barbarian is!"
Hearing Samoko's roar, Pangshan people couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook their heads. Yan Yan also knew that Jingxiang was now a Hanman family. Knowing that he had made a mistake, he looked towards the door of the hall and saw a strong man with an iron tower. He walked into the hall like a tiger. After seeing Pangshan people, he grinned. He smiled naively and said: "Mountain people, why don't we have less to fight? If I don't come, I don't know how you Han people will arrange it. You are calling the barbarians a family, but among the five tigers, there are no barbarians. , It¡¯s so unreasonable!¡±
Pang Shanmin couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this. He had never thought that the name of the Five Tigers would be such a temptation for warriors. Even Samoko wanted to challenge the majesty of the Five Tigers, but Samoko couldn't even fight Wei Yan. Why go to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and seek trouble?
Not long after, military generals from all walks of life came one after another, and the five new people who had won the position of the Five Tigers all stood in the hall. Seeing the generals under their command gathered together, the people of Pangshan thought to themselves: With such fighting power, we can protect Jingxiang and the surrounding areas from being defeated again. Worry.
Seeing that everyone looked at General Five Tigers with quite complicated eyes, Pang Shanmin chuckled and said to the generals: "Today you all gather together, which is a rare event for me in Jingxiang. Pang knows that everyone expresses gratitude to Pang for the Five Tigers." The matter of the general is quite confusing, and now that we have met, Pang should give you an explanation."
After Pang Shanmin said that, all the generals said they did not dare, but Zhang Fei grinned and said: "I, Lao Zhang, think that a man can say whatever he thinks. Since you can come, you should be brave. If you don¡¯t agree with me, Lao Zhang, I¡¯ll fight you first!¡±
After Zhang Fei finished speaking, Liu Bei said anxiously: "Yide, how can you say nothing?"
Upon seeing this, Pang Shanmin waved his hand and smiled at Zhang Fei: "It's okay. Now that I see the martial arts flourishing in Jingxiang, Pang is also happy and calls you all here. In addition to Pang's desire to change the defense of various places, I also want you to discuss it." I have some thoughts about martial arts, and Pang also doesn¡¯t want to lose his reputation as a good judge of people. Pang¡¯s statement about the Five Tigers must be convinced by everyone. General Yide¡¯s words are not rude, Pang also wants to Look at the martial arts skills of the generals in our army!"
"In that case, what are you waiting for! If you don't agree with me, Lao Zhang, come with me to the school field and try your skills!" After Zhang Fei said that, he saw Pang Shanmin waved his hand and said: "Don't be anxious, Yide, this is a grand event in Jingxiang, Pang There are other arrangements, and the generals protect the country and the people, this contest of military forceRegarding this matter, the people of Jingxiang should also be allowed to bear witness! Pang wants to bring the military and civilians together to witness the prosperity of our Jingxiang military force at the Xiangyang campus! "
