Chapter 181 Duke Pound

Liu Qi and others didn't wait much time. Pang Degong came out quickly in Confucian clothes. When he saw Liu Qi, Pang Degong arched his hand and said, "I've seen the eldest son. I'm neglecting."

When he heard the report from his subordinates that Liu Qi came to visit with several beautiful women, Pang Degong already knew the purpose of Liu Qi and others for this trip. He didn't forget that Liu Qi plundered Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao in Jiangdong. Not long ago, his nephew Pang Tong came back with a group of people. Among them were two fathers of Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao. He naturally knew what Liu Qi came to do.

"There, I took the liberty to bother you." Liu Qi arched his hand.

Pang Degong waved his hand and looked at Xin Xianying with a smile and said, "This is Xin Xianying, the daughter of Xin Zhizhi. She is really outstanding. It's a good match to stand with the eldest son."

"I've met Mr. Pang." Xin Xianying saluted.

Pang Degong nodded and looked at Big Qiao Xiaoqiao on the other side and praised, "Then these two are the two daughters of Jiangdong Qiao Gong. They are really charming. No wonder they are sought after by so many people."

Pang Degong looked at Da Qiao with admiration and was stingy. It was the first time he had seen such a beautiful woman after living for so long. He had some understanding of Liu Qi's eagerness to come today. Such women are the object of everyone's pursuit.

"Pang Degong laughed." Big Joe saluted his sister.

"Ha ha, please, big son." With that, Pang Degong asked Liu Qi to enter the house sideways.

"Please." Liu Qi stepped forward and walked into the house side by side with Pang Degong, and the three women followed closely.

As soon as she entered the door, Liu Qi felt that her eyes lit up. The mansion here is not smaller than the mansion of the state pastoral mansion, but the layout is very different. The state pastoral mansion is rich and dignified, but the mansion is elegant, the kingfishers sing with each other, and the bamboo shadows in the courtyard are heavy, which makes people feel refreshed and refreshing.

"What do you think of me in this house?" Pang Degong saw Liu Qi's admiration for the scenery around him and asked, "The scenery in his courtyard was personally ordered by him to take care of, and it was specially arranged for leisure and tranquility.

"Yes, my mansion is completely different from Pang Lao's mansion. Pang's old mansion is the place for self-cultivation and wise reading. Liu Qi looked at the scenery around him and praised it.

Hearing Liu Qi's praise, Pang Degong laughed and said, "It's just a place for retirement that makes the eldest son laugh."

"Pang Lao is modest. If you study and practice here, it will be much better than other places. It's really rare for Mr. Pang to build such a residence in this downtown. I will come to disturb you more in the future." Liu Qi waved his hand.

"Haha, if you like it, you can come at any time." Pang Degong said with a smile.

A few people talked and laughed for a while and came to a lobby. Several people sat down separately, and messengers sent fragrant tea.

"I came here this time, but I need to ask Mr. Pang for help." Liu Qi put down the fragrant tea.

"Oh, the eldest son, just tell me." Pang Degong knew that the business came and didn't refuse.

"I heard that Mr. Qiao came to Xiangyang and came back with his nephew. The two ladies missed Mr. Qiao, so I took the two ladies to have a look." Liu Qi looked at Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao and said that since he had made a decision, he had no worries. He just needed to do it.

Hearing Liu Qi call them their wives, Big Qiao and Xiao Qiao's face turned slightly red. Big Qiao looked shy, but Xiao Qiao pouted as if he didn't want to, but the smile at the corners of his mouth could not be hidden.

"Haha, it turned out to be this matter. Mr. Qiao has just arrived in the house and is resting in the house. If the eldest son wants to visit, I will order someone to take the eldest son." Pang Degong was a little surprised that Liu Qi called Da Qiao Xiao Qiao's wife, but when he looked at Xin Xianying, he found that her smile was not inappropriate at all. Pound shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

"No, I just need the old people to take my three wives." Liu Qi waved his finger and said to the three women sitting next to him.

"Oh, in that case, I won't refuse anymore." With that, he called the servants to take the three people forward.

Liu Qi nodded to the three women, and the three women got up and left with the maid.

When several people left Liu Qi, they looked at Pang Degong and said, "I had wanted to come to see Mr. Pang for a long time, but I haven't had the opportunity to take this opportunity to visit today. I hope Mr. Pang will give me advice."

"There, it is already glorious for the eldest son to come to the cold room. If the eldest son has anything to do, just tell him." Pang Degong held his beard and smiled.

"I don't know if Mr. Pang has heard of Southerners and Northerners?" Liu Qi looked at Pang Degong and asked.

"What are southerners and what are northerners?" Lord Pound frowned and said that it was the first time he had heard someone say this.

"The southerners are the people south of the Yangtze River, and the northerners are the people north of the Yangtze River." Liu Qi said.

"I don't know what's the difference between the southerner and the northerner?" Pang Degong's eyebrows are tighter. He has only heard of dividing the region by the Yangtze River as the boundary, and he has never heard of dividing people by the Yangtze River as the boundary.

"To the south of the Yangtze River, the people are rich, and the people are good at writing and tired of military affairs. Therefore, the people in the south are talented, but there are few martial arts and fierce generals. On the north of the Yangtze River, on the contrary, the people's families are poor and often invaded by aliens. Almost all families have to practice martial arts. Therefore, the people in the north are good at fighting and extremely brave. This is the difference between the southerners and the northerners." Liu Qi sighed.

"This... what the eldest son said is not unreasonable." Pang Degong frowned and thought, "In the face of the invasion of the Xiongnu at all times in the north, the people of the border should be brave and good at fighting, but this has nothing to do with the south and north of the Yangtze River, but it is related to the folk customs. For example, the land of Jiangdong has been popular since ancient times, so there are many fierce generals. At that time, Xiang Yu was born under the command of Chu in Jiangdong. Qianjiangdong soldiers are all soldiers who are used to fighting, so the saying of the big prince's southern people and northern people is not comprehensive.

"Well, I'm not thinking well." Liu Qi nodded. At this time, the situation was different from that of later generations. The people in the south of the Yangtze River were generally weak, which was indeed inferior to the brave elephants in the north. At this time, the people were mostly influenced by the ancient legacy, that is, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Just like the martial arts in the Warring States Period, almost every family practiced martial arts. Now there are many people in Chu who have been practicing martial arts since childhood.

"Why did the eldest son have this question?" Pang Degong won't think that Liu Qi has no aim.

"Nothing. I just want to see if one day my soldiers and horses in the south can beat the soldiers and horses in the north, and whether they can't unify the world from south to north." Liu Qi shook his head.

"Oh, the eldest son is for this." Pang Degong looked at Liu Qi and was secretly surprised by Liu Qi's ambition. At this time, he actually thought that the soldiers in the south and the soldiers in the north were more elite. In fact, he had to admit that the soldiers in the south were indeed slightly weaker than the soldiers in the north, but this was not enough to affect the outcome of the whole war. The reason why the soldiers in the north are more elite than the south is that there are more cavalry in the north than the elite in the south. The reason is also the reason for the horses.

"Does Mr. Pang know the best way to deal with cavalry?" Liu Qi looked at Pang Degong and asked. Although he knew some ways to restrain the cavalry, these methods were all time-consuming and laborious, and the gains outweighed losses.

"Ha ha, although I have read a lot of books, I have never been very understanding of military affairs. It is difficult for me to ask this question." Mr. Pang shook his head.

"In Mr. Pang's opinion, can Wolong and Phoenix really unify the world?" Liu Qi was a little disappointed and continued to ask. In history, Liu Bei got Wolong and Feng Zhuo, but did not unify the world. Shu Han perished in just two generations, which was worse than Jiangdong.

"It's hard to say. Wolongfengju does have the talent to set the country, but it also depends on the luck of the times. If the luck is not good, even if both are obtained, it's just a futile struggle." Pang Degong thought for a moment and found that the questions Liu Qi asked today were more and more difficult to answer. Not to mention the questions of the southern and northerners in front of him, he did not dare to give a definite answer to this question. Things are erratic. Who can be accurate? Just like Liu Qi, everyone thought that Jingzhou had no hope before, but Liu Qi rose up and won the control of Jingzhou in a short time.

"That's it." Liu Qi said in a low voice.

Since it is the result of bad luck, will he be able to do it only happen in the pan because of bad luck? Although he has a lot of knowledge that others don't have, he can't guarantee any decisive effect.

"I heard that Mr. Pang has a nephew, Pang Tong, Pang Shiyuan, who also returned to Jingzhou with Qiao Gong. I don't know where he is now?" Liu Qi looked up at Pang De's justice. He had wanted to see Wolong Fengchiu for a long time, but Wolong was still in Wolonggang, and Fengchiu had never been in Xiangyang, and he had never had a chance to see him. Now Liu Qi would not miss the opportunity. He wanted to see if the dragon and phoenix chick were as powerful as the legend, compared with Xu Shu.

"He did not return to Xiangyang until today, and he is currently in the house. If the eldest son wants to see him, I will order someone to invite him over." Pang Degong said and ordered the servants outside the door to inform Pang Tong.

"Although my nephew is a little literary, he has a bad temper. If he offends the eldest son later, please forgive him." Pang Degong was afraid that Liu Qi would not be attracted and angry with Pang Tong said in advance.

"Lao Pang can rest assured that his nephew will definitely be for my use." Liu Qi looked at Pang Degong and smiled.

"Why did the eldest son have so much confidence?" Pang Degong looked at Liu Qi in surprise. Liu Qi's words are really a little big.

"Ha ha." Liu Qi shook his head and did not say anything. If Pang Tong had no utilitarian heart in history, how could he run to seek office? Although Pang Tong may not be the same as in history, Liu Qi would not easily let Pang Tong go. At worst, Liu Qi also became a hooligan and directly tied up Pang Tong. Instead of letting him assist others to deal with himself, it was better to imprison him directly. Although there were some tricks, he had to do so.
