Liu Biao held a banquet to entertain Pang Tong.

During the banquet, Pang Tong talked freely, saying that Liu Bei was not.

At first, Liu Biao just listened, but he didn't agree very much in his heart.

But gradually, the more he listened, the more he felt that what Pang Tong said was some truth.

If you think about it carefully, Liu Bei has been to many places over the years. Anyone who has helped him was either secretly put on a secret move or failed to end up well.

Anyway, every time Liu Bei left, he would take away a lot of troops from the place where he had served...

"Duke Jingsheng." Taking advantage of the toasting of Kuai Yue and others to Pang Tong, Cai Mao stood up and said to Liu Biao: "Duke Pang said so much, but every sentence is reasonable. When Liu Xuande came to Jingzhou, I advised Duke Jingsheng to not keep him. But Duke Jingsheng was concerned about his relationship with the same clan and asked him to stay in Xinye. Now, he sent troops to Yuzhou, but Liu Xuande was not hurt at all. Instead, Xiangyang was besieged by the Cao army. Fortunately, Master Zi Rong was deeply aware of the righteousness and did not want to seize Jingzhou. The opportunity was right in front of him, so I would like to ask Duke Jingsheng to make a decision."

Although he had figured it was not a good thing for Liu Bei to stay in Jingzhou, Liu Biao was still hesitant to deal with him.

The Cao family army is outside the city. Although Pang Tong said beautifully, no one can tell what the Cao family would do...

Cai Mao mentioned that he had opposed leaving Liu Bei, and a hint of unhappiness flashed across Liu Biao's face.

But the unhappiness disappeared immediately.

He smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass and said to Pang Tong: "Pang Gong, I wish you!"

"Duke Jingsheng is a chief official and a royal relative. What a glory?" Pang Tong stood up and said, "I am just an aide to the young master. How can I afford to toast Jingsheng?"

"Pang Gong is the envoy of Mr. Zi Rong, and this one is enough to bear my toast." Liu Biao drank the wine in the cup and said to Pang Tong: "Pang Gong, please!"

Liu Biao said this, and of course there is no reason why Pang Tong didn't drink the wine in the cup.

After drinking wine, Pang Tong said to Liu Biao: "I'm not hiding Jing Shenggong. I came to Xiangyang just to run for the young master. If I really withdraw my troops, I have to discuss with Jing Shenggong and the young master."

"I'm talking to Cao Zirong?" Liu Biao asked: "Where are you talking? How do you talk?"

"That depends on Duke Jing Sheng's sincerity." Pang Tong said: "If the young master enters the city, there will be many guards around him. How dare you ask Duke Jing Sheng's peace of mind?"

After Pang Tong asked this, Liu Biao's face suddenly became a little bad.

He frowned tightly and didn't say anything for a long time.

If Cao Shu enters the city, he will not only bring guards, but also all the elites.

Those people may not be able to break through Xiangyang, but they have the ability to open the gate from the city...

Putting Cao Shu into Xiangyang is like leading a wolf into the house...

"Since Duke Jingsheng is worried about the young master, of course he cannot meet in Xiangyang City." Pang Tong said: "Young Master has a good place. I don't know what Duke Jingsheng thinks."

"Where can I ask Cao Zirong where he planned to see me?" Liu Biao asked.

"Do you know that there is a place near Xiangyang called Yuliangzhou?" Pang Tong asked.

As the governor of Jingzhou and living in Xiangyang for many years, Liu Biao certainly knew that there was a place like Yuliangzhou.

But he has never been there.

I heard that there was once occupied by a group of swordsmen. Now that the swordsmen are no longer there, Yuliangzhou has long lost its former glory.

"Yuliangzhou, it seems that Cao Zirong has been there." Liu Biao said without saying a word, and Kuai Liang said from the side: "I heard that he was still fighting with people there."

"At the time when the people of Yuliangzhou tried to be unfavorable to Mrs. Wang of the Gongzi family. The prince destroyed them in anger. Duke Jingsheng should be clear that being an ally with the prince is far better than being an enemy." Pang Tong said: "Take today's siege as an example. If Duke Jingsheng became an ally of the prince and Xiangyang was besieged, how could he not send troops to rush to help with the prince? However, Liu Xuande and the envoy sent by Duke Jingsheng had arrived in Xinye, but he was reluctant to send troops. Is it an enemy to protect Liu Xuande or to capture Liu Xuande to present to the prince, and from then on, Duke Jingsheng should have made a decision with the Cao family."

"Cao Zirong has been to Yuliangzhou, and he will be more familiar with me." Liu Biao said: "It may be inappropriate to meet there."

"If Jing Shenggong feels it is inappropriate to meet in Yuliangzhou, please find another place." Pang Tong said: "Whether the young master enters the city or invites Jing Shenggong to the military camp outside the city, it will be detrimental to Jing Shenggong."

"As Cao Zirong's aide, why did Pang Gong think so for me?" Liu Biao asked Pang Tong in confusion.

"No matter how you do it, the young master will be safe." Pang Tong said: "If you want to make good things, you must first make Jingsheng Gong feel safe, so I think so for Jingsheng Gong."

"Duke Jingsheng." Cai Mao said again: "Mr. Zirong brings sincerity, and Mr. Pang also thinks about Duke Jingsheng everywhere. This time, the opportunity to ask the Cao family to withdraw troops must not be missed!"

Cai Mao tried his best to make this happen, but Liu Biao was still hesitant.

Although Pang Tong showed sincerity, he still couldn't believe that Cao Shu would take the initiative to show kindness to him when he had already gained the upper hand.

There are many people who have the same mind as Liu Biao.

However, Pang Tong was sitting here, and outside the city was the Cao army.

Even if someone wanted to persuade Liu Biao to beware of Cao Shu, the situation made them afraid to speak.

Something could be seen from the faces of everyone. Pang Tong smiled and asked to everyone sitting: "You are the aides and generals under the command of Duke Jing Sheng. Can't you give some suggestions for Duke Jing Sheng?"

"Mr. Pang said some truth, but I think this matter needs to be carefully considered." Kuai Yue said: "The current situation is beneficial to the Cao family. Mr. Pang said before that the Cao family did not intend to leave the army here for too long in order to deal with the Yuan family in Hebei. What I am worried about is not what Mr. Zirong will do to Duke Jing Sheng, but if the Cao family retreats, once the Yuan family is defeated, will he turn back and attack Jingzhou?"

"I can't make the decision on this matter," said Pang Tong: "Young Master also can't make the decision. Everything depends on Duke Jing Sheng."

"Look at me?" Liu Biao frowned: "Why are you looking at me again?"

"If Duke Jing Sheng really forms an alliance with the Cao family, there is certainly no reason for the Cao family to move south." Pang Tong said: "However, once Duke Jing Sheng abandons the alliance and becomes an enemy of the Cao family again, it is unreasonable for the Cao family to send troops to Jingzhou. What Kuai said is actually a later story. What will happen in the future depends on Duke Jing Sheng's sincerity."

Twisting the beard on his chin, Liu Biao thought for a moment and said to Pang Tong: "Everything Pang Gong said is reasonable, but this fact is too big. Please let me think about it."

"Young Master will arrive in a few days, and Duke Jingsheng still has time." Pang Tong bowed and said, "I don't rush to go back. I'll think about it here with Duke Jingsheng!"
