"Hold on, General Pang Zhonglang. The scouts under General Jianwu are reporting urgently. Traces of Nanyang bandits have been found in the south of Xiaoshan Mountain." Just as Pang De ordered the encirclement and annihilation of Zhang Sheng, a shout sounded from behind him.

Where the smoke and dust started, a small group of Cao Cao's cavalry rushed over from the direction of Mianchi, Hongnong County.

The first member of the group, Colonel Cao Jun, had behind him the double flags of the messenger, and his right hand held high a sheathed dragon-patterned sword.

Pang stopped his horse and frowned. When the small school came closer, he recognized it as Xia Houen, the pro-military school in front of Cao Ren.

In this battle of Hedong, Pang De followed Ma Teng to attack Bingzhou Gaogan. At the right time, Cao Cao's trusted general Cao Ren joined the expedition. When the two armies joined forces to advance together, Xia Houen was also in Cao Ren's army.

Cao Cao started his family business, and many of the children of the Cao family and the Xiahou family served in the army.

At that time, Xia Houen was carrying the "Qingzhi" sword given by Cao Cao himself, which made him stand out among the small schools.

"Young General Xiahou, Zhang Baiqi's entire army has collapsed and his defeat is imminent. Why did he stop attacking?" Pang De waited for Xiahou Enma to arrive, raised his hands and saluted, and asked.

Xia Houen's fair face was dripping with sweat. He panted a few times and said: "Liu Xiong came to report that his pass on Wuguan Road had been breached by Wei Shi, the prefect of Fangling.

Come from the mountains?”

"Wei Shi, what kind of person is he who is still in his infancy? As for Liao Hua and Hou Yin, they are just remnants of the Yellow Turbans. Their potential can surpass that of Heishan. Can Bai Bo? If not, who can I, Pang Lingming, fear?"

Pang De frowned and said, not paying much attention to Xia Houen's reminder.

Wei Shi relied on his relationship with Concubine Tang to intentionally get close to the emperor Liu Xie, and finally got a governor of Fangling. In Pound's view, this was a complete villain's behavior.

As for Liao Hua, Hou Yin and other bandits, although they are somewhat famous in Nanyang County, they are not in Pound's vision.

Xia Houen saw that Pang De refused to listen to the dissuasion and said with some annoyance: "General Pang Zhonglang, do you know whose subordinates the two thieves Liao and Hou are now? Do you know the name of Wei Shi? Hou Cheng died in his hands."

, Han Hao was also captured, and Uncle Xiahou repeatedly told him not to be careless when encountering Wei Shi."

Wei Shi's reputation was not prominent among the generals of Cao's army north of the Yellow River.

But in the eyes of Xiahou Dun, who had dealt with him several times, Wei Shi was a ruthless character. In both encounters, he lost troops and killed generals.

Having learned a profound lesson, Xiahou Dun always mentioned Wei Shi's cunning in private and in front of Xia Houen and other nephews.

Pang De heard this, laughed and ordered: "Don't worry, Young General Xiahou, since Wei Shi is here, I, Pang Lingming, will take care of it together. When the time comes, the young general will use the Qingzhi Sword to take Wei Shi's head. This

But it’s a great achievement.”

"Journeymen, please dismount and rest for a while. We have eaten and drank enough. When Wei Shi's Nanyang bandits arrive, we will harvest their heads together."

This time following Ma Teng in the expedition to the east of Hedong, Pang De's biggest gain was the appreciation of Sikong Cao Cao.

Promoted from captain to general.

This kind of promotion speed is no more than that even for the trusted generals in Cao's army.

In order to repay Cao Cao's kindness, Pang De secretly determined to perform well.

Zhang Baiqi was born in the Yellow Turban and had a remnant army that could be captured at any time.

Although Wei Shi was the governor of Fangling, I heard that he was very close to Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Liu Bei of Xinye. Such people would be Cao Sikong's enemies sooner or later, so it would be best to defeat them early.

"General Pang Zhonglang is determined. The green sword given by Sikong can cut iron like clay. It is used to cut off Wei Shi's head. It is overqualified for its use."

Xia Houen said with a gloomy face.

This time, Cao Cao sent troops to Hedong and Hongnong counties. To the north of the Yellow River, he was commanded by his servant Zhong Yao. To the south of the Yellow River, he was commanded by General Jianwu Xiahou Dun.

Pound had just crossed over from the south of the Henan River, and the organizational affiliations had not yet been adjusted.

Now that Pang De was willing to obey the general's order, a stone finally fell from Xia Houen's heart.

His identity is just a small school that delivers orders. If Xiliang generals like Pang De don't listen, there is nothing they can do.

"Hey, if Uncle Dun and Uncle Yuan were here, Pang De, a Xiliang foreign general, would definitely not have such an attitude?"

Xia Houen dismounted and stopped to rest. He was not a fool. He could tell that Pang De said nicely that he would give himself the credit for killing Wei Shi. In fact, these Xiliang generals were making fun of Xia Houen's lack of ability.

——

Wei Shi led his troops from Luoshui directly into Choosangyuan in the north of Mount Laoshan. As he was marching through the mountain valleys, he, Pang De and Zhang Baiqi were now less than thirty miles east and west of Mount Laoshan.

At this time, Wei Shi didn't know that his name had been mentioned by Xia Houen in front of Pang De.

Of course, even if he knew, Wei Shi didn't care.

After traveling to the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, he also thought clearly.

This is a troubled world where imperial power is trampled, princes compete for hegemony, and the weak eat the strong. If you want to live a good life, you cannot hide, retreat, or escape. Only by facing up to difficulties time and time again can you become the final winner.

So, what if Pound is here?

He and Wei Shi competed with each other in terms of force, although they couldn't compare.

But compared to his brain, the three Pounds are no match for him.

"Master Fu, Zhang Baiqi has contacted him. His subordinates suffered heavy casualties and there are only less than 5,000 people left. Among them, there are more than 3,000 disabled, old and weak. Therefore, if we count on them to work together, I'm afraid it will be a disaster.

It won’t work.”

"Opposite are Xiliang heavy cavalry, about eight hundred of them, all wearing Zhajia and vests. Even the war horses are Liangzhou horses, which are a head taller than our horses..."

Liao Hua, panting, rode back to Choosangyuan.

He had just returned from Zhang Sheng's army, and the miserable situation he saw seemed to take him back to the situation when Wancheng was defeated.

"What, Pang De's men are heavy cavalry? With armor protection, they are invulnerable and extremely difficult to deal with?" Guo Peng, who was standing by, couldn't help shouting when he heard the word "heavy cavalry".

When he was in Yingchuan, he heard his clan brother Guo Jia say that among all the armies, the most difficult thing to deal with was the heavy cavalry.

A single collision can take away hundreds or thousands of lives.

"Send an order to Zhang Baiqi and ask him to quickly move closer to our army. If he can't arrive here within two hours, then don't come. I, Wei Shi, don't raise useless people."

"Guo Peng, when you go to the rear army and recruit young and strong troops, dig horse pits along the reverse slope behind this mountain ridge. Remember, dig more dispersedly, with depth, and don't gather in one line."

"Hou Yin, you take a team of auxiliary soldiers to transport the gravel, and then sprinkle it behind the pit. Place one piece every three steps. You must calculate the distance of the war horse's jump."

"Liao Hua, you go and command the spear formation. After the Xiliang cavalry passes through the trap, your spearmen must step forward immediately. No matter how heavy the casualties are, they must block the charging enemy cavalry."
