Ambush, defeat, break the siege.

Pang De never expected that a small battle to encircle and annihilate the Black Mountain bandit Zhang Baiqi would end up with such a tragic result.

The heavy horsemen who had lost their horse speed fell down one by one. They watched helplessly as the enemy's spears and spears came towards them, but they were unable to do anything.

"be cheated."

"This Wei thief... I will take revenge on you someday." Pang De resisted the pursuit of Wei Shi's men and horses, finally broke through the siege, and returned to the camp in front of the high slope with difficulty.

Wei Shi did not dare to challenge him alone.

He won this battle by cunning and plotting.

Pang De was really dissatisfied.

Fortunately, before the attack, he left his cousin Pang Rou to lead 300 auxiliary troops to guard the camp. Otherwise, if the rear camp was broken by Wei Shi, Pang De would really have died in a headlong collision on Mount Laoshan.

Pang Rou's temperament is much more stable than Pound's.

Correspondingly, he was not as good at being brave and good at fighting. Therefore, when Pang De went to battle, he usually stayed behind. This time, he was allowed to

"Lingming, we can't defect to Cao Sikong for the time being. We should go back to General Andima first. When we find an opportunity later, it won't be too late to settle the score with the Wei thieves."

Pang Rou saw Pang De frustrated and quickly advised him.

"Okay, let's break camp immediately. The Wei thieves are treacherous, so don't block the way back." Pang De was still frightened, so he and Pang Rou hurriedly packed up, then led the remaining remaining cavalry and fled towards Tongguan.

Ma Teng, Han Sui's main force, was in the Sanfu area at this time.

Pang De and Pang Rou suffered a big loss from Wei Shi and were feeling empty. At this moment, they just wanted to return to the Xiliang army, replenish their troops, rectify their weapons and horses, and then fight Wei Shi again after they regained their strength.

.

Brothers Pang De and Pang Rou were running fast, and Wei Shi saw that there was no advantage to be taken. When the troops arrived at Mianchi, they frightened the county magistrate Jia Kui, and then returned to Luo to rest.

Jia Kui is a very powerful person, and Wei Shi doesn't want to meet him yet.

On Wuguan Road.

The teams chasing the Xiliang cavalry returned one after another.

Every time a team turns around, they will be greeted with bursts of cheers.

Liao Hua, Hou Yin, and Zhang Sheng were even more delighted. These low-born grass bandits, who had always been chased by officers and soldiers, now turned over and defeated the arrogant Xiliang cavalry.

"Mr. Wei Fu, you are so powerful!"

"The emperor has a clever plan. Even if Liu Hou is alive, it will be nothing more than this."

"Zhang Baiqi, aren't you going to run away this time? How about it? It's better to do it with our brothers than to hang out with Zhang Yan from Montenegro."

The three Yellow Turban brothers got together. Liao Hua and Hou Yin did not show any pretense. They became lobbyists for Wei Shi and encouraged Zhang Sheng to defect to Wei Shi.

"Hey, there is no need for Brother Liao and Brother Hou to persuade me. My life, Zhang Baiqi, was saved by Fujun. From now on, wherever Fujun tells me, Zhang Sheng, I will go..."

"

Zhang Sheng was wearing a piece of armor, with surprise in his eyes.

He had just been rescued by Wei Shi, and he immediately reaped a wave of victory. He had made up for a lot of his previous losses, and his respect for Wei Shi was beyond words at this moment.

Before meeting Wei Shi, the leader he recognized in his heart was Zhang Yan, the general who had united more than 20 groups and traveled across the Taihang Mountains and the Black Mountains.

Now, in Zhang Sheng's heart, Wei Shi has successfully replaced Zhang Yan.

In a battle at Jiuhangu Pass, Wei Shiqing surrendered the battlefield and annihilated a total of 463 of Pound's heavy cavalry. Among them, 371 of the cavalry were dead, and the rest were missing arms and legs.

Yes, there is no way to escape, so you can only be captured.

As for the war horses, due to the existence of the gun array, pits and gravel, there were not many horses that could escape these three axes and still be intact, only about twenty horses.

All that's left are the armor, knives, guns, etc. lying on the dead bodies.

These things are all good things for Wei Shi. Even if he doesn't need them for a while, he can transport them back to the three counties and exchange them with Liu Bei, the general of the left.

Liu Bei was currently confronting Cao Jun in Fangcheng and Ye County. Although the two sides did not fight any major battles, small-scale battles continued.

Cao Cao is so arrogant here, even if he loses a few soldiers and horses, it is nothing.

But Liu Bei was not like that.

He was only stationed in Xinye. Although Liu Biao relied on him to resist Cao Cao, he also prevented Liu Bei from becoming powerful.

Therefore, his family's financial resources were not enough, so Liu Bei could only spend every penny carefully.

Wei Shi's Dongsan Commandery is adjacent to Liu Bei's Xinye.

Compared with Liu Bei's vigilance, Liu Biao was much more relaxed towards Wei Shi.

It is not known whether Mrs. Cai, the aunt, had anything to do with this.

Finally, Liu Bei had to rely on Wei Shi as a middleman to get some things he couldn't get from Liu Biao. The business of the three eastern counties also developed in this wrestling pattern.

——

Hongnong County, Huayin County.

Yang's Ancestral Temple.

The most famous minister in the late Han Dynasty, Taiwei Yang Biao, falsely claimed that he had a foot ailment and was recuperating at home.

At Yang Biao's age, he was not yet old enough, but a prison sentence in the fourth year of Jian'an allowed Yang Biao to see clearly what kind of person Cao Cao was.

Yang Xiu, who had just been elected as a doctor and served under Cao Cao, returned to his hometown to visit relatives. He happened to pass through Hongnong County and excitedly rushed to Yang Biao to talk about the war that took place at Jiuhangu Pass.

"Father, does he know which family this Wei Shi is from? He is so powerful at such a young age that he actually defeated the Xiliang cavalry at Hangu Pass?"

"I heard in Xudu that Wei Shi, the prefect, got his job by following the path of Princess Hongnong. He has a shady reputation and bad words. If you ask me, he is a flattering villain."

When Yang Xiu spoke, he was neatly dressed, with wide robes and long sleeves, giving him a very elegant style.

After becoming a famous minister, although Yang Xiu had just appointed Xiaolian as an official, he was very proud of himself in Xu Du and Luoyang court, and he was a sought-after central figure.

Even Sima Cao Cao's son Cao Zhi, adopted son He Yan and others also wanted to associate with him. They often sang poems and songs together. With such friendship, Yang Xiu was naturally more optimistic about the Cao family in terms of political leanings.

"Dezu, you are really confused about big things but smart about small things. Wei Shi's nickname is Zizhong, which was given by His Majesty himself. His governor of Fangling, the court just gave him a title, Fangling and Shangyong.

He defeated them all by himself, you say he is great or not."

Yang Biao patted his thigh and said, looking quite dissatisfied with Yang Xiu's words.

This son is very knowledgeable, scheming, and a good talker, but he just can't read people accurately.

He was too close to the Cao family. According to Yang Biao, sooner or later, Yang Xiu would be implicated.

"What my father is reprimanding is that I know I was wrong. There are many wars in Hongnong County now. For safety reasons, my father should go to Xu to seek refuge?" Yang Xiu lowered his head and admitted his mistake to Yang Biao and suggested softly.

If Wei Shi was really as powerful as Yang Biao said, then the Huayin area of ​​Hongnong County would be an important place where the armies of Wei Shi and Liang Xing fought. Yang Xiu was worried that once the war spread, the Yang family might be annihilated.
