“Is Liu Biao not selling any provisions?” Pang Tong had been waiting for a few days at the guest residence . He inquired about the progress of buying provisions to the ones in charge .
“It is not that they refuse to sell us provisions . The ones in charge of provisions could only be met once every few days and he only sells a hundred at a time . ”
“Whats the difference between that and not selling us anything?” Pang Tong sneered . That amount was nowhere near enough to support an army of hundred thousand . The ones buying the provisions also felt helpless . It was not like he could just conjure the provisions .
Pang Tong pondered to himself . A few days ago, Liu Biao had been very generous with the provisions . It was to the extent that he was prepared to give away provisions for free because of Liu Mang’s problem . Instead, Liu Mang is the one that got the provisions now .
“Liu Mang! It’s this guy again!” Pang Tong could have considered to have won against Cao Cao and Xu Shu ever since he made his appearance . Yet, in front of the King of Shu, he was a loser .

Liu Biao did not sell any provisions to Pang Tong partly because of Liu Mang’s presence and also because of scorn towards Liu Bei . Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu had allied with each other to attack Yangzhou but failed . Although Liu Bei may have obtained Zhang Xiu’s territory, he no longer had his previous influence . So Liu Biao felt that getting close to Liu Mang was more beneficial .
As Liu Mang was now a hostage, even if the Lu Bu’s Army expands, they would not act recklessly . On the other hand, Liu Biao decided to abandon Liu Bei .
“Hmph! You want to abandon Milord? You must be dreaming!” Pang Tong snorted as he looked at the information detailing Liu Mang’s Army setting out for Nanyang .
“Men! Prepare me a horse and accompany me to the government official’s residence of Jingzhou!”
“Yes!”
Once the horse was brought over by a servant, Pang Tong rode to the government official’s residence .

“Who is this?” Two soldiers questioned when they saw Pang Tong .
“Who am I?” Pang Tong narrowed his eyes . These men were Liu Biao’s personal troops and were familiar faces . In the past, they welcomed Pang Tong with a smiling face and would even send someone to report to Liu Biao about Pang Tong’s arrival before Pang Tong had even gotten off his horse . Now, they asked for his identity .
“How fearless! How could you not know our Military Advisor? Quickly step aside!” Pang Tong’s men stepped forward and scolded the two soldiers .
“Military Advisor? Our Military Advisor is Cai Mao . Not some black faced person!” The two soldiers argued back .
“Black faced person?” This was just humiliation . Pang Tong really cared about his own appearance . It was the reason he was so competitive . It was also one of the reasons he killed Tang Yun . The desire to kill Tang Yun appeared in his heart when people believed him to be Tang Yun’s servant .
“Impudent! You guys…” Pang Tong’s men became anxious . The moment Pang Tong gets called that, someone would suffer when they went back . On top of that, their Master was humiliated . Naturally, Pang Tong’s bodyguards immediately drew their weapons .

“You dare act so impudently here? You must not want to live anymore!” Liu Biao’s men also drew their swords in retaliation . With a single command, more of Liu Biao’s soldiers appeared .
“Protect the Military Advisor!” Pang Tong’s soldiers were outnumbered and had to guard Pang Tong . However, they were not afraid as they were amongst the elites in Liu Bei’s Army . On top of that, Liu Biao’s bodyguards were sure to be noble troops that have never gone out to fight before . At the very least, each of Pang Tong’s soldiers would be able to fight back another five of their enemy .
Two sides confronted each other . One side was more experienced while the other had greater numbers .
“Put down your weapons and surrender or die . ”
“Who would die remains to be seen!” Pang Tong’s men sneered in reply . Their killing intent seeped out, making the other shiver .
Just as things was about to turn for the worse, Pang Tong ordered his men to stand down .
“Military Advisor?”
“Put down your weapons . They would not do anything to me . ”
“Understood . ” The soldiers kept their weapons unwillingly .
Once the soldiers kept their weapons, Liu Biao’s men ordered . “Men . Arrest these troublemakers and wait for the Lord to deal with them!” The soldier maliciously labelled Pang Tong as a troublemaker for the moment . If he had acted first and then report later, he was the one that would get into trouble .
“Military Advisor?” Pang Tong’s men wanted to resist again but he stopped them . “Left General Liu Bei Liu Xuande’s subordinate, Pang Tong Pang Shiyuan, requests to meet with Lord Liu Biao . ”
