After receiving Zhao Rong's report, Bai Xiaowen said with a smile: "It's good that Pang De has not forgotten his old master. But now that he has said these words, he has returned to his heart."
At that moment, Bai Xiaowen raised his troops and attacked Wuhuan fiercely.
Pound obtained the famous sword of Jinpao, and developed the heroic ambition of a soldier to die for his bosom friend. He wielded his long sword on the military formation and beheaded enemy generals with unstoppable force.
After Bai Xiaowen studied the geographical map of mountains and rivers, he used a strategy of outflanking the army, and ordered Yan Rou to lead an army and march quickly to the rear of Wuhuan's army.
On the frontal battlefield, after Wuhuan was defeated, he was ambushed by Yan Rou and suffered a huge defeat.
The leader Tadun Chanyu sent people to sue for peace, expressed his willingness to return this year's annual gift, and asked Duke Yan, Grand Sima, in view of the original friendship between the two families, to let him go.
Bai Xiaowen did not agree to make peace, destroyed the book and scolded the envoys, leading an army to pursue them.
That night, the moonlight was dim, and a strange wind suddenly blew up from the plains.
Bai Xiaowen, who was checking the topographic map in the tent, let out a light sigh, put away the geographical map of mountains and rivers, and asked with a smile: "The strange wind just now seems a bit weird. Taoist priest, why don't you do the math?"
Ge Xuan, who was in the military tent, immediately learned a lesson and said: "The wind blows the flag, and the enemy army robs the camp."
Bai Xiaowen had already discovered from the geographical map of mountains and rivers that the red dots represented by Tadun and King Zuo Xian were rushing towards the camp.
"This Tadun was quite clever. He actually knew how to send an envoy to sue for peace, which made me unprepared; and then he robbed the camp at night." Bai Xiaowen commented.
Ge Xuan also said: "I thought that the barbarians were all uncivilized people. I didn't expect them to be so resourceful. They are quite unusual."
Bai Xiaowen immediately sent an order to raise the generals to gather together, and ordered all the generals, and so on.
Chanyu Tadun and King Zuo Xian led the warriors of their tribes and rushed into Bai Xiaowen's tent, but they failed. The camp was quiet, with only chariots and equipment and no soldiers.
Tadun screamed inwardly that it was bad, and then he heard the sound of a drum and shouts of killing coming from all directions. The morale of the Wuhuan tribe dropped sharply, they all lost their will to fight and fled in all directions.
Bai Xiaowen reserved two ambushes, and after killing the Wuhuan Jie camp troops, he also ambushed two more troops on a remote road, waiting to capture the escaped King Zuo Xian.
Tadun was lucky enough to escape thanks to the speed of his horse. However, he had a home and could not return, because Bai Xiaowen had ordered Yan Rou to lead a light cavalry and march quickly to the Wuhuan camp. They charged and killed them, and finally set the Wuhuan camp on fire.
Burned cleanly.
This battle completely shattered Wu Huan's vitality.
Although Tadun escaped, without ten years to recuperate, the Wuhuan tribe would not be able to recover.
Yan Rou returned to the camp with a large amount of gold and silver property, cattle, sheep and horses seized.
Bai Xiaowen ordered the slaughter of cattle and sheep to reward the three armies, and specially rewarded Pound heavily. He first made Pound a general of righteousness, but Pound refused. Bai Xiaowen did not force it, so he gave Pound a thousand pieces of silk as a reward for his labor.
As for Yan Rou, her performance in this battle was also remarkable. His special skill "Foreign Enemy" was indeed a weapon in conquering Wuhuan. After two critical forced marches, he was able to enter the battle with high morale.
is another key factor in winning.
Bai Xiaowen appointed Yan Rou as Wuhuan Colonel and took charge of Youzhou's military affairs.
Let me mention here that "Wuhuan Xiaowei" is an official title and cannot be equated with an ordinary school captain. For example, when Zhong Yao was in charge of Sizhou, his official title was "Sili Xiaowei", which was equivalent to the governor of the state.
The border troubles in the north had been calmed down, so Bai Xiaowen took his troops back to Yedu.
On the other side, Zhang He also received good news, defeating the Xianbei and other foreign tribes, and recaptured Yanmen County and other Bingzhou counties occupied by foreign tribes.
Originally, Bingzhou, under the control of high-ranking cadres, only included Shangdang and Leping. Now, it can be said that the territory of Bingzhou has expanded a lot.
Needless to say, Bai Xiaowen also gave him a reward.
It is a pity that after Zhang He won this battle alone, he did not upgrade as Bai Xiaowen expected.
Bai Xiaowen estimated that the Hu people were too impatient to fight and were no longer enough to help Zhang He "gain experience." He still had to fight against famous generals from the Central Plains to upgrade Zhang He.
Returning to Yedu, Pang De first returned to General Chenglie's mansion and met with his old master Ma Chao.
Ma Chao also learned about Bai Xiaowen's attempt to win over Pound, and it was inevitable that he felt angry and resentful in his heart.
Seeing Pang De wearing a brocade robe and wearing a famous sword, Ma Chao finally couldn't hold it back and sarcastically said: "Ling Ming shined during the Northern Expedition. No wonder Yan Gong values you more."
Pang De was startled, and hurriedly took off his brocade robe and bowed down. He took off the sheathed green sword with both hands, held it above his head and said: "It's not that I didn't obey the command of the young general, but Mr. Yan didn't bring him with him on this trip.
Send out strong generals who are experienced in fighting. If I don't contribute, I don't know how long it will take to pacify Wuhuan. I think if Wuhuan is pacified as soon as possible, Duke Yan will be able to borrow troops as soon as possible to help the major general conquer Hanzhong. I hope the major general will understand clearly."
Ma Chao took the Qingzhi Sword, pulled out a section, put it back, and said with a hum, "Everyone has his own ambitions. If you want to join someone else, I won't stop you!" He waved the Qingzhi Sword and threw it down.
When Pang De saw Ma Chao's retreating figure, he felt angry and went straight to his forehead. His vision went dark and he fainted.
…
Pound is really sick.
Although people in the spiritual world have physiques that are beyond ordinary people, they will still get sick when they should.
Bai Xiaowen personally came to inspect and summoned the famous doctor Fan A to diagnose and treat Pang De.
Fan A reported that Pang De's disease was caused by the consolidation of qi, which made it difficult to recover quickly and required at least a month of rest.
Bai Xiaowen knew that Pound in the novel had been sick, but he didn't expect that he was sick now.
But now was a good time to win over people's hearts. Bai Xiaowen personally took the decoction from Fan A'ao and gave it to Pang De.
Pang De, an eight-foot rough man, was moved to tears and said: "How can a general be treated like this by Duke Yan?"
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said: "Three armies are easy to come by, but a general is hard to find. For your illness, Lai Gu is partly responsible. If I hadn't taken you to conquer Wuhuan, you wouldn't have gotten sick. I'd like to tell you what you want. I can do that."
Put it forward and I will try my best to satisfy you."
Pang De was silent and said: "I hope Duke Yan will lend troops to the young general as soon as possible to help him take Hanzhong, and ask if the enemy who killed the old general is Liu Bei."
Bai Xiaowen nodded and said, "Of course. Not only will Gu not only lend troops to Meng Qi, but he will also personally provide troops and provide support from behind to help Meng Qi succeed! How about it?"
Pang De struggled to get out of bed, knelt down and said solemnly: "Pang De will never be able to repay the kindness of Duke Yan."
Ma Chao was right outside the door and could hear the two men's exchanges clearly.
After hearing Pang De's request, Ma Chao couldn't help but regret.
After Bai Xiaowen left, Ma Chao went to visit Pound. Unexpectedly, Pound's attitude towards Ma Chao had become much calmer: "Young general, when Zhang Lu is captured, once you find out who murdered the old general, he has nothing to do with Duke Yan.
Then he returned to the command of Duke Yan and no longer died for the Ma family."
