In the south county of Jingzhou, there is a deer gate mountain fifteen miles outside Xiangyang City.

Lumen Mountain is on the verge of the Han River, and across the river from Xianshan Mountain. It is even called the Holy Mountain in later generations!

Looking from a distance, Lumen Mountain looks like a fairy, covered by clouds and fog, flickering, it is really fascinating!

Standing in Lumen Mountain, it seems to be wandering in a fairyland with dense forests, fragrant wild flowers and shrouded clouds and mists. It really deserves the reputation of the unity of man and nature!

The legend of Lumen Mountain has been around for nearly two hundred years. According to legend, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu once dreamed of the mountain god here, and ordered people to set up a shrine on the mountain.

Living in Lumen Mountain, you will not be bothered by worldly trivial matters at all, and you can immerse yourself in nature.

Of course, such a magnificent scene cannot be easily occupied by others, only the top people in Jingzhou can occupy this place.

Since Liu Biao entered Jingzhou, the rebellions in various parts of Jingzhou have gradually calmed down, and the people of Jingzhou have gradually embarked on stability.

All of this is inseparable from the help of the four major families in Jingzhou, Cai, Kuai, Huang, and Pang.

Under Liu Biao's kindness, the Kuai family and the Cai family joined the prefectural pastoral mansion, and the Huang family completely occupied Jiangxia and took orders from the prefectural pastoral mansion.

Only Pang Degong, the contemporary patriarch of the Pang family, was not greedy for power. After Liu Biao took over Xiangyang, he immediately gave up all rewards and resolutely went to Lumen Mountain to live in seclusion.

Liu Zhang invited several times, but was rejected by Pang Degong. As time passed, Pang gradually faded out of Jingzhou official circles.

But in Jingzhou, no one dared to underestimate Pang.

Liu Biao didn't dare, Cai Mao and Kuai Liang didn't dare either!

Mr. Pang De has great talent but is indifferent to fame and fortune. He is friendly and helpful, and has a very high reputation in Jingzhou.

After moving to Lumen Mountain, Duke Pang De did not do nothing, but set up an academy together with his friend Sima Hui to give lectures.

However, the entrance threshold of Lumen Academy is very high, and it is definitely not for the idle generation to learn from a teacher.

Of course, it doesn't refer to the issue of background, but the intelligence must be superior to others!

Liu Biao once asked Pang Degong to teach his two sons Liu Qi and Liu Cong, but Pang Degong ruthlessly refused, and there was no room for relaxation.

Pang De and Sima Hui are both high-level people in the world, and their vision is very high. Ordinary mediocre people can never get into their sight.

Therefore, Lumen Academy has been in operation for several years, but there are still no more than ten students in it!

For example, Zhuge Liang, who has a nepotism relationship with the four major families in Jingzhou, Pang Tong, the son of Pang Degong, Xu Shu who was in exile in Jingzhou, Meng Jian, a talented scholar from Yuzhou, Shi Tao from Yingchuan, and so on.

Except for Xu Shu who is from a poor family, everyone not only has a prominent family background, but also is a contemporary leader in talent!

Recently, a major event happened in Jingzhou, which made the originally peaceful academy lively.

Pang De and Sima Hui sat at the top, looking at the group of students below with some complacency.

According to Pang Degong's words, the leaders of Jingzhou are all gathered here!

Especially the 16-year-old Pang Tong and the 15-year-old Zhuge Liang, whose talents have already shocked the teachers Pang De and Sima Hui.

Sima Hui was not stingy with his evaluation, and regarded Pang Tong as the smartest person south of the Han River!

"A big event happened in Jingzhou today, but it has not been spread yet. Today, the old man told you to listen, just to hear your views on this matter."

Pang Degong threw bricks to attract jade and successfully aroused the interest of all the students below.

"Two months ago, Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou, worshiped his son Liu Pan as the chief general, and Wenpin as the deputy general. He sent 10,000 troops to the south to attack Changsha. It's over."

Hearing that it was about the four counties in southern Jing, the interest of the students obviously dropped a lot, and Shi Tao was even more contemptuous.

"Teacher, this is a meaningless and suspenseful battle! The four counties in Jingnan have a population of more than two million, and they can easily pull up an army of 100,000. Zhang Xian won the hearts of Jingnan, let him raise his arms and shout!" , I am afraid that there are hundreds of thousands of people who have joined under his command!"

"On the other hand, Liu Pan's army is few and far between. Not only did he not get the support of Cai Mao and Kuai Liang, but he was constrained by Cai Mao everywhere! I heard that even the supply of military rations is a very big problem!"

"In this comparison, Zhang Xian waits for work with leisure, and his soldiers are strong and strong, which is even more popular! But Liu Pan is crushed in every way, how can he win?"

"But failure is also normal. It is very rare for Liu Pan to persist for two months! With Cai Mao around, it is absolutely impossible for him to win!"

Shi Tao really lived up to his name, and after some eloquent remarks, he directly sentenced Liu Pan's army to death.

But it's no wonder that Shi Tao looked down on Liu Pan so much. The current situation in Jingzhou is well known, and the students of Lumen Academy are even more familiar with the inside story.

Liu Biao is so close to openly flirting with Cai Mao and Kuai Liang!

Cai Hao even said in the army that Liu Pan will never win against Zhang Xian, and will definitely flee back to Xiangyang in despair in the end!

Sima Hui smiled without saying a word, his eyes kept scanning the others.

After Shi Tao sat down, Meng Jian also stood up and agreed with Shi Tao's speculation.

"Guangyuan's words are reasonable, but I think Liu Biao was overwhelmed by anger. He shouldn't put all his eggs in one basket! Anyone with a certain vision can tell that there must be someone behind Zhang Xian's rebellion!"

"In Jingzhou, how many people can do this kind of thing? Liu Biao didn't even understand such a simple matter, and sent Liu Pan to put down the rebellion in a hurry. It would be a strange thing to win!"

"Liu Pan's departure not only exposed Jiangbei Wenpin's army, but also pushed himself into a deeper abyss! After the destruction of more than 10,000 soldiers, Liu Biao will have no right to speak in Jingzhou. Instead, Cai Mao Waiting for someone to take advantage of the situation and lift Liu Biao up."

"Liu Pan's defeat, Liu Biao has become a dead chess game!" The rest of the crowd nodded slightly, but three of them did not follow suit.

Zhuge Liang was expressionless, as if these had nothing to do with him!

There was a faint smile on Pang Tong's face, but on that ugly face, the smile was uglier than crying!

Xu Shu has delicate features, with a hint of heroism on his face, which has something to do with his previous identity. But at this moment, he frowned slightly, as if he had something on his mind.

"Yuanzhi, what do you think?"

Mr. Pang De had noticed Xu Huang's abnormality a long time ago, so he happened to ask him with a chuckle at this time.

Xu Shu bowed his hands first, then thought for a while before expressing his thoughts.

"Teacher, the battle between Liu Pan and Zhang Xian can actually be seen as a battle between Liu Biao and Cai Mao, Kuai Liang and other aristocratic families. The strength of the two parties is seriously unequal. No matter how you look at it, it is a battle without suspense!"

"So Liu Pan was defeated and Zhang Xian was born. There is nothing to be surprised about, and there is nothing worth discussing!"

"But since the teacher said it alone, there must be some meaning in it! The students boldly guessed that Liu Pan won and Zhang Xian lost!"

As soon as Xu Shu finished speaking, he was immediately ridiculed by Meng Jian.

"Xu Yuanzhi, are you out of your mind? You're talking crazy here!"
