Cao Thief

Chapter 508 Liangzhou Chaos ([-])
Seems like it's the last day!

It is guaranteed that there will be no interruption this month, and the old and new will continue to maintain it next month, and strive to write more every day, asking for support.

----------------------

Setting sun, sunset.

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the clear Lushui River.The breeze blows, and there are layers of ripples on the river, which is really beautiful.

On both sides of the river, peaches are red and apricots are white, and there are ruins everywhere.

The scales of the river, the afterglow of the setting sun, and the remnants of the land echo each other, creating a cold picture, which is extremely beautiful...

Pound inadvertently admired the beautiful scenery, and reined in the riverside.

There used to be a bridge on the river, but for some reason, it disappeared.

"Send the order, within two hours, I will see ten pontoon bridges on the river, and before midnight, I must come to Wuwei."

"Here!"

Xiliang soldiers showed enough respect to Pound.

This young general, who became famous at a young age, once enjoyed a great reputation in the army. "Ma Pang Double Wall", the Pang in this is Pound.And the other horse is Mengqi, the Jinma Chaoma who is now well-known in Xiliang.

However, four years after Jian'an, Ma Teng gradually alienated Pound.

So much so that later, they were simply assigned to Longqi City to deal with Hehuang's Shaodang Qiang.Fast forward six years, and the former young general is in his thirties.That bronze-colored face reveals the traces of vicissitudes left by the wind in Hehuang.

In the past four years, Pound and the Hehuang Qiang had fought nearly a hundred times, large and small.

The big knife in his hand was soaked in blood. I don't know how many Qiang Hu warriors fell under Pang De's knife, which can be described as a great military exploit.However, such an outstanding military exploit has never been promoted.Even the transfer from Longqi City to Wuwei this time is only a captain's title. On the surface, he is sitting on Xuanwei, but in fact he is under heavy restraint.

Many Xiliang soldiers felt worthless for Pound...

Under the setting sun, Pound stood by the river.

That resolute face, like a knife and an axe, has sharp edges and corners.

"General, let's eat something... You have not had any water or rice since you set off at noon, how can you solve the disaster of Wuwei?"

"Anping!"

"kindness?"

"For the past few years, I have been unable to figure out one thing."

"what?"

"Remember the four years of Jian'an, when the Junhou and I went to Xudu?"

Junhou is Huailihou Ma Teng.

And this Anping is Pang De's cousin, named Pang Ming.For four years, he has been fighting in Longqi City with Pang De.A cut from the base of the ear to the corner of the mouth, the flesh and blood were opened, and the scar that has not healed yet made Pang Ming look ferocious and aggressive.He is not as tall as Pang De, and his body is not as strong as Pang De's, but he does not have an aura.

"of course I remember!"

That is, when he came back from Xudu, Ma Teng began to alienate Pound, and finally dispatched Pound to Longqi City.

Pang Ming, why don't you remember?

"I've been wondering why Cao Peng knew me?"

"what?"

"That time in Xudu, by chance, I met Cao Peng once. At that time, he had just returned from Xiapi, and he was still waiting for a crime... Hehe, but you know, that guy is really good at causing trouble. Small.

He let go of Lu Bu's family in private at that time, just because Lu Bu helped him back then and gave him two hundred soldiers as a gift.I admire this man.But before that, I had never met him, and he was not as famous as he is now.When the lord introduced me, he blurted out my name.How could he recognize me when I was a pawn? "

Pang Ming didn't know the reason why Pound was neglected and dispatched.

Even in the past four years, he asked more than once, but Pound never answered directly.

Now, Pang Ming understands!
The reason why Pound was left out in the cold was probably because of that incident.Just imagine, how can a person who has never met know the name of the other party?At that time, Pang De was only a little famous in Ma Teng's army, and the name of 'Xiliang Ma Pang' was also known later.Anybody would think that Cao Peng and Pang De must know each other...

Pound is unknown!

But at that time, Cao Peng had already made his mark.

The battle of Quyang made him famous, and Cao Cao's love for him was also praised by many people at that time.

The problem lies in this.

At that time, Ma Teng signed the Yidai Zhao and was Cao Cao's enemy.

While Cao Peng is Cao Cao's confidant, Pang De is valued by Ma Teng.Ma Teng became suspicious because of this, and Pound couldn't explain it clearly, so he would naturally be left out in the cold and exiled.Pang Ming asked suspiciously: "General, do you really not know Cao Youxue?"

"Hehe, look, even you doubt it!"

"I'm not……"

Pang De smiled and shook his head. I really didn't know him. At that time, I only knew that he was one of Xu Du's Xiaobayi, who once fought against Lu Bu Chen Gong and Quyang.Helping his brother-in-law to govern Haixi seems to have a little reputation in Huainan.

It's like now, everyone knows...

My lord asked me, I really don't know how to answer.But as far as I am concerned, although I have been exiled for four years, I have gained a lot.This time, I will fight against Cao Youxue on the battlefield. It is the time for me to wash away my grievances. I will definitely compete with him... By the way, it is said that Lu Bu once passed on his life's knowledge to him. I don't know if this rumor is true. of. "

"The general asked me, but he made things difficult for me!"

Pang Mingdao: "Anyway, Hexi's biography is amazing, but I always feel that it is too false to be true!"

"Whether it's true or not, I'm about to fight him."

The two brothers were talking on the river bank, and before they knew it, it was getting late.

On the river, the pontoon bridge has been built.Some soldiers came to report that the army was ready to cross the river.

Pang De nodded, and Pang Ming stepped on the horse and stood with their swords horizontally.

A bright moon hangs in the night.

The sparkling water on the river was extremely beautiful.

In the distance, the grass is rippling with the wind, like waves undulating.With such beautiful scenery, if you are a poet, you can't say that you will flourish in poetry.

Suddenly, there was a commotion on the river.

Pound asked, "What happened?"

"The car fell into the water from the floating bridge."

"Oh?"

Pound was startled, and urged his horse forward.

The pontoon is not wide and not stable.It is easy to overturn when the car is driving on it, which is not a big deal at all.

"Why is the river so shallow?"

When Pang De saw that the car that fell into the river was still showing a handlebar, he couldn't help being startled.This Lushui Bay is the place where two rivers meet, and the river should be very deep.The thawing time in the Northwest is also later than that in the Central Plains. In the late spring, the river has just thawed and the water flow should be rushing. Why is it so gentle?

Ten pontoon bridges are built on the water, and the army is passing through one after another.

Suddenly, Pound shuddered, his tiger eyes widened, and he roared sharply: "Stop going, stop going, come back..."

Before the words fell, only a loud roar came from the north.

Boom...boom...

After two consecutive bangs, there was a faint rumbling sound from the north.It seems that there are thousands of horses galloping, and it seems that the earth is shaking.Without further ado, Pound pulled his horse and left, "Anping, hurry up, we've been tricked, we've been tricked!"

Lushui upstream, the huge waves emptied.

Two galloping giant dragons rushed down from the upper reaches roaring.

In the river water, there were giant trees and unmelted ice.Many Xiliang soldiers stood on the pontoon bridge, looked up, and were immediately frightened by this astonishing scene.Many people even forgot to escape...

But even if he escapes, where can he escape?

The flood rushed straight down, and the northernmost pontoon bridge was destroyed by dozens of giant trees hugging three people.The soldiers on the pontoon were instantly swallowed by the water dragon.After the two water dragons met in Lushui Bay, they aroused great water vapor.In the water mist, the water dragon merged into one, becoming even more terrifying.A Xiliang soldier was swept up by a water dragon, and then a giant log flew over, knocking him to pieces.The solid ice rushed over, taking away a cloud of blood...

So miserable!

The ten pontoon bridges disappeared almost at the same time.

Hundreds of soldiers on the pontoon died silently amidst the roar of the water dragon.

The water dragon refused to let it go, but continued to rush downstream.The flood that had been accumulated for a whole day was clearly not something that the Lushui River could accommodate, and it washed up on the river bank all of a sudden.The Xiliang soldiers on the river bank were involved in it, including men and horses, and walked away with the flood.The horses hissed mournfully, the soldiers howled, but they were all drowned out by the roar of the water dragon!
Pang De and Pang Ming wanted to escape with people.

But no matter how fast the war horse is, it cannot be as fast as the torrential flood.

A huge wave slapped hard on Pound's back, and Pound spat out a mouthful of blood before falling down under his horse.

Pang Ming was not much better than him, and was directly swept to the ground by the flood...

Three thousand Xiliang soldiers were wiped out in just an instant!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++
"The general wakes up, the general wakes up..."

Pound woke up from the coma and wanted to stand up, but found himself tied up with ropes, lying in a muddy place, unable to move.Around him, there were more than 100 Xiliang soldiers, either unconscious or desperately calling Pound's name.

Pang Ming was also among them, but it seemed that he hadn't woken up yet.

Pound roared, turned over and wanted to stand up, but he heard a strong wind behind him, hoo!A wooden stick hit him hard.

"be honest!"

"An dare dog thief..."

Pound was beaten so hard that he almost lost his breath.

Turning his head to look, he saw a young man with obvious Hun features staring at him viciously.

The boy was only eleven or twelve years old, and in his hand was a short stick made of red pine wood, about three feet six inches long and as thick as a chicken egg.One end of the short stick was wrapped with brocade, and then wrapped with silver thread to fix the brocade.

The short stick is painted with a layer of red paint, shiny!

Seeing Pang De staring at him, the boy stared back without showing any weakness.

"Sir, please be honest, if you move around, you will break your hands and feet."

The rope on his body was very thick, and he wanted to break it, but it was impossible.And this young man is probably also a practicing family boy... The stick just now is definitely not something he can hit at his age.If it's really hard, I'm afraid it's just asking for humiliation.

The flood has subsided.

The moonlight was shining brightly, and it was shining on the ground. You could vaguely see the broken traces of the pontoon bridge floating on the river.

A group of soldiers are salvaging corpses in the river.

They fished out the corpses one by one from the river and placed them by the river.If there is a survivor, they will be tied up directly and handed over to the soldiers on the river bank.

On the river beach, there were dead bodies of soldiers from Xiliang, and the remains of war horses.

Pound lay in the mud, feeling bitter in his heart.

What is Huluopingyang being bullied by dogs?His current situation has already given the best explanation and explanation.

Originally wanted to make contributions!

Can you imagine that you have become a prisoner without even seeing the shadow of the enemy?

who did it?

Pound needn't bother to think about it.

At such a time, the only person who can do such a thing is probably that Hexi prefect, General Cao Youxue of Beizhong Lang.

People say that Cao Peng is deceitful, as expected.

If this person doesn't make a move, it's fine, and if he makes a move, he will follow each step step by step, and he will never stop dying.Such an opponent is a bit scary, not that Pang De can handle it.It's a pity that I am full of ambitions. After being exiled for four years, I am eager to make some achievements, but... I will die if I die. I am afraid that this Wuwei County will no longer have the surname 'Ma' from now on.

In the distance, the sound of horseshoes.

Pound opened his eyes, only to see the flames moving.

A group of soldiers riding white camels and wearing white fur came from a distance, surrounded by a young man.

Fuck, what a big scene!
Pound can be sure that he has never seen such a big show in his life.Especially the three hundred white camels gave people a strong visual shock.The knights on the camels all have spears and broadswords, and they look extraordinarily mighty.

And the leading youth is a rare liger.

Jump off the horse is more than eight feet tall, burly and strong.A piece of treasure armor from Tang Dynasty, covered with a battle robe of hundreds of flowers, and tied around the waist with a lion jade belt.

With a sword under the ribs, hang the knife immediately.

Behind him, there was a Dawan horse, carrying a crossbow and arrows, and a heavy halberd the thickness of a goose egg...

Lu Bu?

Pound subconsciously flashed a name.

Although Lu Bu has been dead for many years, the name of the tiger is still not forgotten by people.

But he immediately realized that this was not Lu Bu... Judging by his age and the ostentation, there was only one person, Cao Youxue!

Pound struggled to stand up, but was held down by Cai Di.

"Xiao Di, help General Pang get up."

Cao Peng slammed off his horse and stepped forward through the mud.

Behind him, three hundred camels knelt down at the same time, and three hundred white camel soldiers got off the camels in unison.

That movement, neat like a person.

Pang De couldn't help swallowing, feeling bitter in his heart.

What a Cao Peng... Just looking at his personal guards, you can see how rich his financial resources are and how much thought he has spent.

"General Pang, farewell to Xu Du, please stay safe."

"Humph!"

Pound blushed, turned his head, and ignored Cao Peng.

You don't mean to be sarcastic like that!If it weren't for you, Cao Peng, why would I have been exiled for four years?Now, I am a prisoner, and I am in a mess.You are the victor, the majestic general of Beizhong, the prefect of Hexi, how come you are "unharmed"?
Pang De has already made up his mind, if Cao Peng persuades him to surrender, he will never bow his head.

You said, should I spit on him, or knock him down?It might be a bit difficult to knock him down... Yes, as long as he comes over, I'll spit on him.A real man will die when he dies, and he will never follow the example of those who are greedy for life and afraid of death.

Thinking of this, Pound straightened his chest, showing a proud posture.

When Cao Peng was still a few steps away from him, he stopped suddenly.Those eyes, bright as stars, looked up and down with a smile, as if telling him: I already know your little plan...

Pound blushed and turned his head away.

"Today's battle, a certain strategy was used to win, but the victory was not military."

"what?"

Cao Peng smiled and said, "Lingming won't be convinced even if he comes... How about this, I let Lingming go, and let's fight in Guzang City."
