At this moment, regardless of whether Liu Qi's words and actions were sincere, his words really warmed Pang De.

Perhaps Liu Qi pushed Pang De to the position of vassal in the previous episode, which was suspected of using tricks to rebel, but after Pang De pointed out, Liu Qi was able to proactively admit his mistakes and reflect on it in front of him, which was far beyond the reach of many superiors.

After an adult makes a mistake, very few people are willing to admit their mistakes. Most of them refuse to admit their mistakes for the sake of face and refuse to bow their heads to admit their mistakes.

This is true for ordinary people, let alone those who are superiors like Liu Qi.

This alone makes Pang De admire Liu Qi from the bottom of his heart.

What's more, Pang De's loyalty is loyalty and righteousness, but loyal people are not fools. They can't tell who is better or worse. Who praises him or not takes him seriously.

Liu Qi planned to plot against himself because he recognized him and felt that he was a talent. Moreover, as a famous scholar, Liu Biao, was a major town and a relative of the Han Dynasty, and was willing to treat him so condescendingly. Pang De felt that he owed Liu Qi even if he thought about it.

On the other hand, after Ma Chao, a traitor, was competitive, strong and irritable, and competed for merit with his subordinates, refuted his face in public, and quarreled with him repeatedly.

Ma Chao is brave and powerful, and has the posture of a powerful general, but his nature is too aloof tolerate others being stronger than him, and his temperament is really too cold and weak.

After the failure of this pursuit of Dong Zhuo, Ma Chao and others jointly wrote a book to Ma Teng and Han Sui, counting Pang De's mistakes.

They actually attributed all the blame for pursuing Dong Zhuo to him.

Although Ma Teng did not pursue Pang De, he did not comfort Pang De. It was obvious that he had agreed to the advice of Ma Chao and others.

Although Ponde did not lose anything, he couldn't overcome this hurdle in his heart.

To be honest, he felt wronged.

He was in the rebel camp, and he didn't ask for future or official titles. To be honest, Ma Teng couldn't give him these things at all.

But now he has no fair treatment?

This is of course. Even if Ma Teng knows that Ponde is right, he cannot refute his fledgling son.

Because Ma Chao is the heir to his foundation, he wants to establish military prestige for Ma Chao.

Pang De took the wine delivered by Liu Qi. Unconsciously, the tiger's eyes were a little wet and his nose was also a little sour.

But he was a bloody man from the northwest after all, how could he easily show his weak side to others?

He tried his best to find his state, then picked up the wine, raised it towards Liu Qi, and said, "Thank you, Liu Yizhou!"

Liu Qi also raised his wine lord and drank it all.

The two of them drank one after another, and Pang De didn't say it, and Liu Qi didn't ask him.

After drinking like this for a while, Pang De got drunk because he drank too quickly.

Liu Qi's alcohol tolerance is far beyond Pang De's imagination.

After he accompanied Pang De to drink all the wine, he was only slightly drunk and did not show any sign of losing his composure.

How much he can drink is hard to say, anyway, he can drink it better than Pound.

After drinking it, Pang De's eyes were a little straight, his face turned red, and he was in a state of fragmentation.

He asked Liu Qi in a slight manner and said, "Liu Yizhou, are you wrong with Mr. Pang in this matter?"

Liu Qi looked at Pang De seriously and said, "You are loyal and righteous, and you share your worries for the Lord. What's wrong with you?"

Pang De was very happy to hear this. Although he was drunk, he was still very grateful to Liu Qi for his appreciation of him.

What a man needs most is a sense of identity.

"Then the mansion thinks that the one who is wrong is Ma Shaolangjun, and those powerful Qiang leaders?"

Liu Qi respected Pang Deyijue again and said seriously: "Although their behavior is narrow-minded, Liu disagrees with it, but from their status and perspective, I think they are not wrong."

"Since there is nothing wrong with Pang and them? Why did things come to this point?"

Liu Qi said seriously: "You and them are not wrong in this matter. The only thing that is wrong is that you are secretly beating! A loyal and righteous man who voted for a group of traitors who have no opinions or virtues. How can there be a good result?"

Pang De held Jiu Jue's hand and shook slightly, and then he saw the wine in his Jue's "flying" out. Then he saw his head sinking, his body falling, and he fell on the table with a "thump", and then he fell asleep in a daze.

Liu Qi smiled slightly and shook his head helplessly.

Then he saw him drink all the remaining wine like a wine lord.

I didn't drink this wine tonight very happily.

In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, when it comes to fighting for wine, isn’t anyone able to fight?

...

The next day, when Pang De woke up again, neither he nor Liu Qi mentioned yesterday's incident.

But from this moment on, Pang De began to call Liu Qi "Ming Gong".

"Mr. Ming Duke, the De tribe regarded his elder brother Pang Rou as his respected. His parents died early and were not married yet, so he was considered to be free. But there were still some companions who would follow me for many years and could not bear to abandon him. De Xiang returned to the south bank and summoned these subordinates to clean up his family and enter Hanzhong with me. From then on, Pang De was willing to accompany Ming Duke always and be willing to drive for Ming Duke."

Liu Qi smiled slightly and said, "Go and come back early, I'll wait for you in Nanzheng."

"promise!"

After Pang De left, Liu Qi's army began to turn around Hanzhong.

In the Battle of Guanzhong, Liu Qi's military power increased greatly. While his strength surged rapidly, there would definitely be many disadvantages. Liu Qi knew very well in his heart.

After returning to Hanzhong, Liu Qi would sort out these trivial matters well.

The three armies returned to Hanzhong this time and then walked to Qinchuan. At the intersection of Xiegu Road, they were meeting Xu Rong and led a group of troops to respond.

The Central Army General, who was personally appointed by Dong Zhuo, finally appeared.

He fought with Liu Qi in the previous episode, but he designed to defeat him once with a crossbow formation... Xu Rong was not convinced.

He thought that the loss was due to insufficient accuracy of the news and did not know the virtual and real situation in Liu Qi's army.

If the two sides fight with each other know their own and their opponents, Xu Rong believes that he will not lose to Liu Qi.

But Xu Rong also didn't understand that there was no if in war.

Liu Qi asked the three armies to station and rest and rush to the road tomorrow, while he sat on the ground with Xu Rong and had a heart-to-heart talk.

This is the first time Liu Qi has seen Xu Rong today.

At his age forty, Xu Rong was not young in this era. His years of military life made him look vicissitudes, his face was thin, his back was a little hunched, and he spoke slowly, not like a rough and generous military general in the border county.

But his slightly vicissitudes of vision could still vaguely see a bit of wisdom.

"The emperor has issued an edict to pardon General Xu and Li Jue and Guo Si and other remnants. The general can lead his troops to station in Guanzhong, why do he still want to surrender to me?" Liu Qi went straight to the point and went straight to the point.

Xu Rong was not in a hurry to answer, he seemed to be considering the vocabulary.

It took him a long time to speak slowly.

"Liu Yizhou was able to defeat the prime minister and achieve something. I think he was a smart and wise man. Xu didn't go around in circles with Liu Yizhou, so he told him bluntly."

After pausing, Xu Rong continued: "Xu is still here under the Prime Minister's command, because the Prime Minister values ​​me. However, in terms of identity, Xu is not the same as Li Jue and Guo Si. They are all powerful families in Liangzhou and have their own power. I am from Youzhou. In the eyes of those Liangzhou people, they are different from them... The Prime Minister is in Japan, and they may respect me with the Prime Minister's face. If the Prime Minister is gone, Xu is an obstacle in their eyes... With Xu's position, it is impossible to be with them. I wonder if Liu Yizhou may understand?"

Liu Qi thought about it seriously and felt that Xu Rong's words were not unreasonable.

Historically, after Dong Zhuo died, some of the Xiliang army led by Xu Rong did surrender to Wang Yun's command, and Wang Yun also accepted them and used them to help him compete with Li Jue and others. This alone can be seen that even Wang Yun knew that Xu Rong and the generals of Xiliang could not pee in a pot.

Dong Zhuo is the only bridge for them to cooperate with each other. Dong Zhuo died, and Xu Rong, an outsider, joined them in Guanzhong. The only fate is to be merged... If it is a bit miserable, it will be that the corpse will be gone.

"Since you can't join Li, Guo and others, why don't you vote for Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, the emperor and the tutor Wang, just come to me Liu Qi?" Liu Qi narrowed his eyes and raised a question again.

Xu Rong smiled and said, "Liu Yizhou asked well, this is what he said is the point."

He sighed and said, "Yuan Shao is a man of four generations and three kings. He has many gentry factions such as Hebei and Ruying as his command. He heard that most of the war generals under his command are from Hebei and are of great honor. In terms of ability, I think I am not inferior to them, but in terms of identity... Hey, I am a general of the Dong family who is not even a powerful man in Liangzhou. I am afraid that I will be wronged by Yuan Shao."

Xu Rong's identity is not equal to Yuan Shao's identity, and his concerns are normal, and Liu Qi can understand it.

"What about Cao Cao? I heard that this person recruits talents and is not limited in character." Liu Qi asked again.

"I am not familiar with this person, and if we talk about power, this person is still under the ruler, father and son, so Xu naturally would not vote for him."

Liu Qi thought about it seriously and felt that there was no problem.

Although Cao Cao now occupied Yanzhou and surrendered to hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, Yanzhou has been overwhelmed by wars for a long time and is too broken. It will take time to reply, and there is still a gap compared to the prosperity and prosperity of Jingzhou.

"Then why don't you vote for the court? Don't you vote for the King's Grand Tutor?"

Xu Rong said seriously: "If Liu Yizhou was not here, Xu would have joined the court, but if there was a lord here, Xu would rather go to Jingzhou... After all, Wang Taifu was old, Lu Bu and tigers and wolves, the emperor was young, and the place where the four battles in Luoyang were in the four battles. Compared with the land of Fengle in Jingzhou, Xu still felt that following Liu Yizhou would have a more future."

Liu Qi nodded seriously.

Xu Rong is a man who speaks honestly.
