Summoning of God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 578
An hour later, Zhao Yun led his troops in pursuit of Pound and successfully caught up with them again.The aristocratic families in the state of Jin set up obstacles on the road one after another, and the marching speed of Pound's cavalry was seriously affected.

Moving forward, it was Dangyang City Pass, and within a few more minutes, Pang De would be able to evacuate from the state of Jin and successfully escape the danger.It is also here that Baima Yi is about to attack, and if there is no reinforcements, there will be no way out.

"Pang De, take your life!" Zhao Yun held the gentian silver gun and took the lead in pursuit, and he was bound to take Pound down.

Pound snorted coldly, endured the pain in his shoulder, and led dozens of cavalry to the rear to ensure that the army could pass through the valley.

"Zhao Zilong, today I will fight with you!" Pang De decided to protect the other soldiers, so he personally came to the rear.

Zhao Yun showed a slight smile, as long as Pang De dared to break, he was absolutely sure to keep Pound.

"Soldiers, charge! Only kill Pound, take him down first!" Zhao Yun stared at the valley in front of him, rushed out of here to the territory of Qin State, and entered the control range of Dangyang Chengguan.

Cold sweat broke out on Pang De's forehead. He felt the threat of death at this moment. Now no one has the strength to fight against Zhao Yun.

From Dangyang to the north to raid Xinye, and then to raid Xudu day and night, after retreating from Xudu starry night, Pound and his cavalry soldiers were exhausted.

Whoosh!
Zhao Yun rushed to Pound first, but when he heard the sound of the arrow piercing through the air, he immediately reined in his horse and stopped.

In the sky, hundreds of arrows shot at Zhao Yun, and the arrows landed on the ground more than ten feet away from Zhao Yun.

If Zhao Yun hadn't reined in just now, he would have been set as a sieve!
"Hahaha! Changshan Zhao Zilong, he is indeed heroic and mighty when I saw him today. Sima Yi, I have been waiting for a long time again. General Pang De retreated quickly, we come to the rear."

In the valley, an ambush soldier with thousands of heavy crossbows ran out, set up the heavy crossbow and pointed it at Baima Yicong.

The range of the heavy crossbow is not enough to kill Baima Yicong, but it can definitely prevent them from taking another step forward.

"Haha! Zhao Zilong, it seems that I, Pang De, should not die today. I will go to your Xudu next time! At that time, it will be the day when our Qin army will rule the world!" Pang De was overjoyed. Come to meet him, and it was Sima Yi himself.

Zhao Yun snorted coldly and roared: "You want to defeat the soldiers of the Jin State, you have too good a plan! Today, you will die!"

Raising the gentian silver gun, Zhao Yun thrust it into the ground with all his strength, grabbed the spear of the deputy general beside him and threw it at Pound.

"Brother, throw your gun and only kill Pang De!" The deputy general immediately ordered after seeing it, and hundreds of Baima Yicong in the front row immediately threw their spears.

"This! The sky will kill me!" Pound's eyes widened, and before he had time to continue retreating, spears shot at him all over the sky.

Puff...Puff...

The distance of nearly twenty feet was exactly within the throwing range of the spear, but Sima Yi's crossbowman was farther away, unable to shoot Baima Yicong.

At this moment, Pound and his horse were shot into a sieve, and his eyes widened inexplicably died on the spot.

"Damn it! Shoot the arrow!" Sima Yi did not expect that Zhao Yun would directly order to throw the spear, and the ambush distance could not be fully controlled.Originally, Sima Yi thought that Pang De would escape at the front, which would definitely guarantee his safety.Now that Pound is actually behind him, this distance is completely uncontrollable.

"Fire the arrows! Don't let Bai Ma Yicong take Pound's body away!" Sima Yi's eyes widened, and he ordered his crossbowmen to release arrows immediately. Even if they continued to shoot through Pound's body, Bai Ma Yicong couldn't take Pound's body away.

Zhao Yun snorted coldly. Originally, he wanted to order the soldiers to rush over to snatch back Pound's body, but he didn't expect Sima Yi to be so ruthless.

"Retreat!" Zhao Yun ordered the troops to withdraw. Now that the soldiers are exhausted, it is obviously unwise to fight with Sima Yi's crossbowmen.

Bai Mayi walked away, Sima Yi couldn't keep them at all, he could only start to clean up the battlefield.

"Take away the body of General Pound. This matter must be kept secret. No one can spread the news that Pound is dead! Find someone who is similar in stature to General Pound, put on his armor, and send him to Baidi As for the body of General Pound, it should be burned on the spot and not left behind!" Sima Yi became fierce, this time even if he was sorry for Pound, he would let him "live".

Only when Pang De is not dead can he "get away with it" and make the people of Jin panic.Pound can make a surprise attack on Xudu once, but in the hearts of the people, he can hit it a second time, which will naturally confuse the people.Sending some spies to spread rumors is enough to cause chaos within Jin State for a period of time.

two days later

In Xudu Hexiang Bieyuan, Meng Gong was reinstated and pleaded guilty, and it was his negligence that Pang De was able to raid Xu.Han Wu has already handed over all the power to mobilize troops on the southwestern defense line of Jin to Meng Gong, but he is still negligent, which is a serious crime.

"Meng Gong, you are my man, and you still have to punish the outside world so that the people can see that the court has made clear legislation. Demotion will belong to the demotion. In the future, you will also be in charge of the southwestern defense line of the Jin Kingdom. Tomorrow, you will go to Xududong City to set up a platform and let Man Chong be in charge of implementing it. For the law, a few symbolic blows are enough, and it is enough for the people to see through it." Han Wu sighed helplessly, and he was reluctant to be too strict with Meng Gong.

Meng Gong nodded abruptly, and said: "Thanks to His Royal Highness for your kindness, but dereliction of duty is dereliction of duty, and the punishment must be done in accordance with the rules. The next official will go to Litai tomorrow and punish myself with fifty army sticks! At that time, I would like to ask Manfu Lord not to Be merciful and follow the law."

Man Chong glanced at His Highness the Crown Prince, understood what His Highness meant, and nodded quickly.

"Your Highness, the last general is incompetent and failed to bring Pound back. However, Pound is sure to die. He was pierced by more than a dozen spears and shot by dozens of arrows. He is definitely dead. It's just that the last general chased him to the valley north of Dangyang City Pass. , Sima Yi led the crossbowmen to ambush there, and will not be able to bring Pound back. But at present, the news will be released that Pound is dead and the body has been brought back." Zhao Yun walked into the Hexiang Bieyuan covered in blood, and in the hall Kneel down on one knee to report the situation.

Han Wu nodded, as long as Pang De died, this matter would be easy to handle.It doesn't matter whether the corpse can be brought back, it's just a corpse, and the people have never seen Pound, just find a death row prisoner of similar stature to replace it.

Tian Feng frowned slightly, "Your Highness, Pound is dead, but Sima Yi is very smart. He will definitely find someone who is similar in stature to Pound, and let him lead the troops back to Baidi City. Then he will spread rumors that Pound If he is not dead, then the common people will have doubts about the imperial court."

Han Wu froze for a moment, he really didn't realize this.Although Pang De is dead, as long as Sima Yi spreads rumors, it is enough to cause chaos in Xudu and even the entire Jin country.Whether Pound dies or not, it depends on who can control public opinion better.

"Your Highness, there is one more thing. Pang De divided his troops to the south, and Ma Chao led the troops to the west. I am afraid that General Guo Huai has been ambushed by now!" Zhao Yun also reported this matter.

Han Wu frowned slightly, Guo Huai was regarded as one of the best young soldiers, and it was indeed a bit of a loss to be beheaded and killed by the siege.

"As Guo Huai said, he belongs to the soldiers of Yongliang, and this matter is not discussed first. Tian Feng and Xun You obey orders to ensure that the spies of Qin cannot spread rumors, so that the people must believe that Pang De is dead. No matter what method you use, Even if force is used, the people must be convinced. Go ahead and deal with this matter." Han Wu waved his hands, telling Tian Feng and Xun You to deal with the public opinion.

"Zilong go down to rest, and let Baima Yicong's soldiers also rest for a few more days. Dian Wei is in charge of city defense, and Lu Zhishen is in charge of patrolling the city for the next few days." After conveying all the orders, Han Wu stood up and returned to the backyard.

Although Xudu has not yet become chaotic, it just lacks a fuse. Sima Yi will definitely find a way to ignite public opinion.

Baidi City Palace

"Is Pound dead? Ma Chao ambushed Guo Huai and wiped out Guo Huai's army? Hahaha! That's great, that's great! A Pound, who replaced Guo Huai, successfully raided the capital of the Jin Kingdom. The merit is too valuable. Whoever came up with this strategy must be rewarded!" Cao Cao laughed loudly, he hadn't been this happy for a long time.

Li Ru smiled and said: "The strategy is not mature. If the strategy is mature, Pound will not die. It is said that the prince Cao Pi thought up this strategy at the beginning, and it was perfected by Sima Yi later. Mr. Cao has such an heir and such a courtier. It is indeed a great fortune. Especially Sima Yi, his talent and learning are no longer inferior to mine, and Duke Cao can reuse him."

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, thinking of Sima Yi, he calmed down.This person has the appearance of a wolf, so he has to guard against it.

"Well, give Zihuan a big reward and let him take the initiative to fight against Xue Rengui. Now that the morale of the Jin army is declining, Xue Rengui's army will definitely be repelled. Let Sima Yi continue to defend Dangyang, which is the most important thing. Dangyang will be the next year's army. In the bridgehead, there must be no mistakes. Also, in the name of this king, canonize Pang De as the general who conquers the North, and tell the world that Pang De is not dead." Cao Cao smiled slightly, he understood Sima Yi's intention of sending a fake Pound, This is to use Pound's name to deter the people of Jin.

Xi Zhicai didn't open his mouth all this time, his brows were furrowed, and he said after thinking it over: "Your Majesty, Han Wu is not the kind of person who can endure, he must fight back. Now whether it is Hanzhong, Dangyang, or Xiangyang, Neither Fancheng nor the state of Jin can get any benefits. Now the only place where the state of Jin can mobilize troops is Nanzhong. The state of Jin sending troops to Nanzhong from Chengdu will make Meng Huo worry about his future, and the things we are facing are also very troublesome .”

Xi Zhicai is planning ahead, and Nanzhong is now about to become Qin's confidant.

Although there was basically no taxation in Nanzhong, it was far from where Meng Huo lived. If Jin occupied Nanzhong, Meng Huo would inevitably take back the barbarians who supported Qin.

Cao Cao's smile also gradually subsided. Although Qin has won a small victory, the disaster in Nanzhong is too great.

"Wen You, this matter is entrusted to you, do you think you are competent?" Cao Cao stared at Li Ru, thinking that he was capable of stabilizing Nanzhong.

Li Ru shook his head slightly. It's not that he is incapable of stabilizing Nanzhong, but he just doesn't want to control Qin's military power.Even with thousands of troops, Li Ru didn't want to control them.

Seeing Li Ru's reluctance, Cao Cao sighed helplessly. Now he is really facing the situation where no one is available.
