Chapter 5 Planning Military Pay

You go and say to the person: If you want to drink good wine, come to the third floor! I will wait for the big trip again!

Li Wen turned around and went downstairs and said to the ugly man, "Call, our lord is invited on the third floor, and he has good wine!"

This person was so happy! Finally, he could have good wine to taste and rushed to the office door on the third floor! He couldn't help but say in front of the door, it was the smell of this wine! Good wine is really good wine, and he entered the door with a smile.

Li Zhe stood up at the table and looked at the man with thick eyebrows and nose, black face and short beard. It was nothing wrong. He was the first-class adviser in history who liked to drink as much as his life, Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan.

Li Zhe bowed and said: If you can smell the fragrance of wine and enter my hero hall, you must be the hero among the heroes. At this time, Pang Tong laughed and said, "Where can there be a hero without wine?" The two of them laughed and sat down."

Li Zhe shouted to Li Wen at the door: Take these dishes down and change them to new ones! After several waiters came in and cleaned up, several waiters served eight dishes. Li Zhe gave Pang Tong a bowl of Jian Nanchun. Pang Tong smelled the fragrance of the wine and picked up the bowl and said to Li Zhe, "This wine is really rare in the world, but for that reason, this wine is only available in heaven, and it is rare to smell it in the world!!!

Pang Tong asked what the name of this wine was, and Li Zhe said: This is Jian Nanchun!

When Pang Tong heard this, he was stunned. This was Jian Nanchun. Lu Chang spent three thousand gold to offer the wine to Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou. After Liu Biao tasted it, he awarded Lu Chang as the prefect of Xiangyang. After that, Liu Biao drank other wines and became tasteless. He looked for this wine everywhere and threatened to buy it for five thousand gold, but no one went to offer it. And I actually tasted this wine.

I couldn't help but think again that this person was willing to drink this wine for me. For some reason, I asked: Can the shopkeeper know how much gold this wine is worth?

When Li Zhe heard this, he knew why Pang Tong asked and said with a smile: As the saying goes, beauties accompany heroes, and of course, the wine must be allowed to be drunk so that the wine will not be ruined. Li Zhe picked up the bowl and said to Pang Tong: Come on, you and I will not return to drink it tonight!

When Pang Tong heard what he had just said, Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, was not worthy of drinking this wine, so he asked, "Is it because the shopkeeper said that Liu Biao is not a hero?"

When Li Zhe heard it, he understood what he was asking, and replied that although Liu Biao was the governor of Jingzhou, Jing Xiang was rich under his control, but he was attacked from all sides. Liu Biao was in his sixties, and people in his twentieth year would weaken their minds and short-sighted ambitions. From now on, Liu Biao in Jingzhou unified the military power to Cai Mao, and ignored political affairs and hid in women's houses every day to enjoy peace. Jingzhou will sooner or later have a different leader.

Pang Tongyi heard that this person is concerned about the world, has a deep understanding of strategy, and is so cunning. It seems that he can make such a talented and generous friend without going online!

After drinking for three rounds, Pang Tong's face turned red. Li Zhe said: You and I have already met each other. My surname is Li Zhe, and my name is Zhe, and my name is Zhe. When Li Zhe thought, I have never had a name before. It is better to think of one, and it cannot be too vulgar and domineering.

Word: Yongqi. 26 years old

Pang Tong heard it and said, "I'm the next surname Pang's name Tong, the name is Shi Yuan, 21."

When Li Zhe heard this, it was really him, Pang Shiyuan! He said with alcohol, "Li Shiyuan is not a roar, can you be called brothers? I am one year older than you, how about calling me a brother?

Pang Tongyi thought, this person is Yongqi, has lofty ambitions, and is well versed in strategy, and treats people who have never lived with wine of a thousand gold coins. This person is respectful to the wise and the most clear-minded in the world is strategy and cleverness. Although this person is a boss, it is because the world is peaceful, but if the world is in chaos, this person will surely ascend to heaven. Isn’t such a person the one I have been looking for when I travel all over the world?

Pang Tong was moved and knelt on the ground and bowed to Li Zhe, saying, "Big brother is on the top, and I am bowed by my younger brother." When Li Zhe saw it, he turned to kneel on the ground, stretched out three fingers, and swore to the sky, saying: Shi Yuan and I are brothers here today, and I don't want to be born on the same day of the same month of the same year, but I want to die on the same day of the same month of the same year. After Li Zhe kowtow, he stood up and helped Pang Tongdao up. Brothers asked him to look at Li Zhe and called out to brother, and Li Zhe shouted, "Brother!"

Li Zhe looked at Pang Tong, brothers, let’s drink, we will not return without getting drunk! Come on, I’ve done it *******

Pang Tong and Li Zhe were drinking Jian Nanchun happily. Li Zhe asked, brother, look at what kind of situation will be in the future when the Yellow Turbans are in chaos today.

Pang Tong smiled and said, "It's not optimistic. Since the founding of Liu Bang, it has been four hundred years since the Han Dynasty, and every dynasty has had a transformation process of prosperity and decline. Now Emperor Ling of Han cannot preside over the government. Liu Bian and Liu Xie are both children and cannot bear the Han Dynasty at all.

If Emperor Ling of Han really dies, He Jin will definitely assist in the administration, Yuan Shao from Hebei will definitely collude with He Jin and make some moves, and He Jin and Dong Zhuo of Xiliang will make trouble. If there is a chaos, the world will be in chaos.

Li Zhe smiled and said: Brothers are so talented that I am so proud of being my brother. I think brothers are so talented that I should know that the world will be in chaos in the future and the princes will compete for power!

Pang Tong was stunned and looked at Li Zhe in surprise. How could his brother know? Li Zhe smiled and said, "I don't know why the destiny of heaven reflects the world, and the reflection of destiny must be understood from the astrological signs!" (This is Meng Pang Tong, the history in Li Zhe's mind told him) Pang Tong was completely impressed from this moment,

Pang Tong said, "Does the elder brother understand so deeply about astrology? I also understand the celestial phenomena a little. You can see that the world will be in chaos next year, but no matter how I look at it, I can't tell which month next year. Can you listen to my elder brother's opinion?

Li Zhe smiled, drank a glass and said, "In March next year, the world will be in chaos!"

Pang Tong's eyes lit up and said to Li Zhe, "Brother, should we plan something?" Li Zhe smiled and said, "Brother, please speak frankly!"

Pang Tong said seriously that we have to raise soldiers now and compete for time to consolidate our power. It is not too late. It is just winter. We have five months to March next year. If we make good use of it, we can train two thousand soldiers in these five months. In the world, we can take Jiangxia to gain a foothold. Jiangxia is a warehouse in the entire Jingzhou, where there are countless food, gold and silver!

When Li Zhe heard this, he said: If we take Jiangxia, we can't defend it! There is Changsha in the south, Nanjun in the west, Xiangyang and Nanyang in the north, and we were sending troops from all sides, so we had to abandon the city and flee.

Pang Tong was stunned, then relieved. Li Zhe said again, let's take Xiangyang as his foothold. Although Cai Mao held heavy troops, he could fight on land.

Pang Tong was right after listening, but there were risks.

Pang Tong said, brother, we do not have the right to raise soldiers now, we must have an official position to recruit soldiers.

Li Zhe smiled, this is not difficult. We can raise soldiers without official positions, and I think we should raise at least 5,000 soldiers. Pang Tong asked, raising soldiers requires a lot of money and food. Brother, this requires a lot of gold.

Li Zhe smiled and said: A bottle of Jian Nanchun is worth 5,000 gold. How many soldiers can five thousand gold support?

Pang Tong calculated that a person's monthly salary was two taels of silver, and five thousand gold could support 25,000 soldiers per month. In addition to food, five thousand gold could support 15,000 soldiers was more than enough.

Li Zhe smiled and said, "Brother, you're wrong. We don't need to recruit soldiers. The Yellow Turban Rebellion is full of refugees. We just need to accommodate them. And we don't have to pay food and salary in the early stage. That's good, but we have no place to resettle refugees, Pang Tong said.

Li Zhe said, I have a farm outside Xiangyang City, where there are 800 acres of land. Now I am planning to build a house. I guess there are 40 houses now, all of which are from the lofts. I will build 100 rooms first, which is not enough to build them. The village is surrounded by wasteland, so I can ask farmers and workers to open up land and farm. This should be considered cheap.

The important thing is that equipment is difficult. The soldiers are equipped with helmets, armor, spears, and big swords. These cost a lot. So my brother decided to pay some money from Liu Biao and to set up a refugee shelter. I think Liu Biao will also strongly support me with such good things that look charitable!

Time is tight, I will go to see Liu Biao early tomorrow morning and sell it 100 bottles of Jian Nanchun. That is 500,000 yuan, enough for us to raise hundreds of thousands of troops!

Pang Tongyi was surprised to hear that you have 100 bottles of Jian Nanchun, so many of them. Li Zhe smiled and said, "Don't worry, brother, I have better wine."

Pang Tong was stunned. There was a better wine than Jian Nanchun. How good would it be!

He couldn't help but look up. He drank both of them, but Pang Tong had drunk too much, and Li Zhe had already been used to drinking it. He didn't think it was a good thing, but Pang Tong thought it was a worldly wine!

The next day, Li Zhe took Pang Tong downstairs and handed everyone down to the hall. He introduced to everyone that Pang Tong was my brother and the second head of the family. Then everyone saluted and shouted: Have you seen the second head of the family! Li Zhe handed the restaurant to Pang Tong for handling.

Li Zhe ordered Li Wen to follow him to the house where the wine was storing. Li Zhe told Li Wen and said: No one can know about this place, and even the second in command are not allowed to know (Li Zhe was afraid that Pang Tong would know and drink it secretly).
