Pang Wen, the owner of Pangjiazhuangzi in Hanshou County, is a famous landlord and a famous charity. He set up schools, paved bridges and roads, and was not behind in everything. He is very famous in the local area.

But those who know his background know that this person with good name is actually the leader of the most powerful water bandit in Dongting Lake. He has thousands of water bandits under his command, and he is in Dongting. He colluded with the local government and hid his true identity very well.

"Mr. Pang, have you made up your mind about this?"

The person who asked the question stood on the steps. Judging from the official robe on his body, he turned out to be a real county magistrate. This person was indeed Han Zhike, the county magistrate of Hanshou County. In the yard, a person who was fighting naked, holding a knife in both hands, and dancing was Pang Wen, the water overlord of Xidongting.

One of them was a bandit, and the other was an official, but the official had no temper in front of the bandit, and it seemed that the other party was his boss.

Pang Wen shouted loudly, and he slashed Huashan with force, split a wooden stake as thick as a bowl in front of him into two, holding the knife for a moment, then slowly put away the posture, stood up straight, threw the knife to a servant beside him, went up the steps, and walked straight into the house. Han Zhike followed him and entered the house.

He lifted the kettle on the table, raised his neck and poured several large mouthfuls, then he paused the teapot on the table, turned his head to look at Han Zhike, and sneered: "Those who are officials are not good things. Qian Feng was not a thing before, but now he has changed to Zhu Youzhen, he is just something? I am very happy now, why should I be invited by him to be his lackey?"

Han Zhike is an official, so naturally Pang Wen is not a member of the things. But in front of Pang Wen, he had no temper at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "Pang Yuanwai, the world is about to change. Don't you know? The Third Prince of Daliang is comparable to Qian Feng? Forgive me, to say, "If you don't like to hear, being a water bandit on the water is indeed happy and comfortable, but you are always shameless. Just like in Hanshou County, aren't you trying your best to hide yourself in this business? You don't care, but you can't always be like this, right? What a great opportunity now, it's the time when you are really whitewashing yourself."

"Hehe, do you think I don't know? Zhu Youzhen took a fancy to the hundreds of dozen boats in my hand and thousands of water boys!" Pang Wen sneered.

"Learn from the imperial family and sell it to the imperial family!" Han Zhike pulled a chair and sat opposite Pang Wen: "It is the time now. It is precisely because the Third Highness needs you that you can get a good price! As far as I know, the Huainan Navy, whom the Third Highness originally wanted to rely on, was defeated in the battle of Yangzhou and almost destroyed. The Third Highness now has no navy in his hands. You are the first seat of Dongting in this 800-mile area. As long as you throw it over, you can immediately become the first person in the navy."

"After serving someone's bowl, you have to be under his control. This official is not that easy to be a good official, so you have to fight for your life!" Pang Wen snorted.

"You have to take a try in life!" Han Zhike stared at Pang Wen and said, "Pang Yuanwai, you didn't sell yourself to Qianfeng in the past because you couldn't sell it at a price, but Your Highness Zhu San is different. Wherever he is, you can sell it at a good price. Maybe it's not uncommon for you to be the minister in the future. This third highness will probably be the one who will be on the throne in the future."

"He is the third brother!" Pang Wen laughed.

"But he is the strongest now!" Han Zhike said: "Look, from Wuning to Huainan, now it is E Yue, but they are all the territory of the Third Prince. If you can join, the Third Prince will have a water dragon again, and it will be even more powerful. Whoever becomes the emperor depends on whose fist is harder?"

"It makes sense to say it." Pang Wen pulled a long gown and put it on his body. "But there is more than me in Dongting Lake. Did he only offer me a price?"

Han Zhike smiled and said, "Pang Yuanwai is the most powerful. If you want to choose the third prince, of course you will choose the strongest one. As for the others, can Pang Yuanwai still not deal with it?"

Pang Wen turned his eyes and said, "I not only want the position of commander of the Navy General University, but also want to serve as the governor of Yiyang. What's the third prince who can agree to this?"

Seeing Pang Wen relieved, Han Zhike University was overjoyed, "What's the problem with this? It's just the governor of Yiyang. Pang Yuanwai, since that's the case, I'll send someone to reply to the Third Highness."

"Okay, let's do it!" Pang Wen waved his hand and said. "Old Han, you are working hard for the third prince like this. What official did he promise you?"

"Han doesn't dare to be greedy, and he is satisfied just to be the deputy second place of Pang Yuanwai." Han Zhike smiled and said, "Now, having soldiers is the hard truth. Dongting in these 800 miles is the world of Pang Yuanwai. I don't have any great skills. The third prince's thigh can't be held, so I can only hold Pang Yuanwai's thigh."

Pang Wen laughed loudly: "Old Han, you are speaking bluntly, but it is the smartest way. You and I know the truth and I will be relieved to use you as the deputy minister. That's it. If the third prince gave me Yiyang and I became the governor, I would let you be the chief minister."

"Han must do his best to serve Pang Yuanwai." Han Zhike happily clasped his fists and bowed, but left in a hurry.

A few days later, Pang Wen left Zhuangzi and returned to his lair. He summoned more than a dozen of his leaders, threw him to them, and laughed and said, "Everyone, from today on, we are no longer the Dongting Water Bandits, we are the serious navy of the Daliang court. I am the fourth-rank general Zhongwu. You are the youngest and also a general Dingyuan, hahaha!"

The leaders found their own part from the confession, and each one was filled with joy. In their opinion, it was no problem for Zhu Youzhen to defeat Qian Feng and sweep E Yue. It is naturally a happy thing to be able to hold such a thigh and clean up his past.

"Brother Pang, then, we can go ashore in the future?" A man with a scar on his face was so excited that his flesh shook continuously. The scar was even more conspicuous under the light.

"Of course, I will also be the governor of Yiyang. In the future, not only Dongting Lake will be my subordinate, but also Yiyang will be my subordinate." Pang Wen laughed and said, "If His Highness Zhu San becomes the emperor in the future, I will be in a town in a single place, and you can also get a governor to do it! At that time, what would you want?

Everyone in the room laughed.

"Brother Pang, is there more than our family in Dongting? What should I do if Zheng Wenchang from Dongting and Pan Shan from Dongting in Nandongting?" Another leader stood up.

"Well said. If we want to dominate Dongting, of course we have to take them down first. Panshan in Nandongting is not strong enough. We will go to clean him up first. Tomorrow, we will all go out, and it is best to force the landing in Panshan, and then go to Dongting to clean up Zheng Wenchang together." Pang Wen's eyes showed fierce light, "In the past, we did not violate the river water. With them here, we could also share the attention of some officers and soldiers for us. But now, Dongting is my own. I will not allow them to sleep soundly beside the bed. Dongting will be ours in the future, Yiyang, Yueyang, Changde, and I will eat it."

"Eat, eat, and then the boss will become a military governor, and we can also be a magistrate and a county magistrate." The bandits in the room were shouting excitedly.

"Okay, it's not the time to be happy. Today everyone goes back immediately, gather all our ships, mobilize all those who can get on board, and start our journey tomorrow!" Pang Wen slapped the table and shouted: "Often some of you hide it, but if anyone still does this tomorrow, be careful that I will deal with you first."

"Don't worry, if we are individuals tomorrow, we will bring it out. If we can't fight, it's always okay to let them row." The bandits laughed and scattered the birds and beasts, and rushed back to their base to summon people.

The next day, Pang Wen sat on the bow of his three-masted ship and watched the fleet gather from all directions. In an hour, nearly two hundred ships of all sizes gathered.

"This is my power, Mr. Pang!" Pang Wen laughed to the sky, stood up suddenly, raised his head and shouted at the messenger above his head: "Give orders to each department and set off."

During the flag show, Pang Wen's ship took the lead and sailed out. Behind him, a huge fleet formed a three-way column and sailed forward in a mighty manner.

Their target is the component of Nandongting Lake, Hengling Lake, which is also the old nest of Nandongting water bandit Pan Shan. Compared with Zheng Wenchang of Dongting and Pang Wen of Xidongting, Nandongting Pan Shan’s troops are much worse, with only fifty or sixty boats in total, and the entire team of the entire water bandits is only four or five hundred. In recent years, the reason why he has been able to live safely and sound is because he is a buffer zone between the two major bandits in the east and the west. Because of his existence, Dongdongting and Xidongting also tacitly used this as the boundary and did not invade each other.

When Pang Wen's fleet came over fiercely, Panshan's water village had already exploded, and the entire water village was in panic all day long, because at almost the same time, the two major bandits in Dongting and Xidongting were moving towards Hengling Lake where Panshan was located at the same time.

Judging from their appearance, they all came for Panshan.

No matter who it is, Pan Shan can't afford to offend him, let alone now the two of them come together.

"What do they want to do?" Pan Shan looked at his subordinates in despair, and his subordinates were staring at their leader pale faces like him.
