Zhang He and Pang De also fought for seven or eight rounds. The huge mental pressure made his shooting skills slightly flustered. At this time, shouts were heard from behind.
"It's General Yide who has arrived." Wei Yan reminded Pang De loudly as he cut down a Cao soldier.
Hearing Zhang Fei's name, Zhang He's head felt as if he had been hit by a hammer. He then struggled to open the hilt of Pound's knife, then slapped the horse's butt and escaped from the battle group. As he ran in a panic, he was squeezed to the river.
Zhang He's soldiers will be attacked from two sides. The opponent's troops are stronger than his own, and their morale is gradually disintegrated.
"Hahaha, little Zhang He, why did you escape to the river again? I will definitely capture you alive today."
Zhang Fei's gaze was like a torch and his sound was like thunder. From a distance, he saw Zhang He running on the beach. While talking, he pierced his horse with a snake spear, and Cao's soldiers next to him seemed to have encountered a landslide.
Zhang He raised his head and glanced at Zhang Fei. The black-faced evil spirit was clearing the "obstacles" and coming towards him. To the east, Wei Yan and Pang De looked at him like prey, and they also slowly approached with one knife at a time.
Seeing Cao's soldiers fall down in rows, Zhang He knew that he would not be able to escape if he didn't think of a way out. He looked at the river flowing to the west and had an idea. He decisively dismounted and took off his heavy armor, and then jumped into the cold river water.
In the first month of the year, there is heavy dew in the mountains. Due to the dense forests around, the sunlight cannot shine into the valley. The temperature on the bank is already very low, so you can imagine how cold the river water is.
Difficulties are not worth mentioning in the face of survival, and more and more Cao soldiers follow Zhang He's example and go down the river.
The weak man sank due to cramps on the spot, and this tributary of the ditch water suddenly became as lively as a dumpling.
There were fewer and fewer Cao soldiers on the shore. Most of those who jumped into the river were swept away by the icy water. Only a few dozen of them who successfully escaped to the other side with Zhang He were left.
Zhang Fei looked at the other side with a spear and cursed: "Zhang He, my son, I haven't frozen you to death. You are really destined to the river. Why don't you change your name to Zhang He?"
"Zhang Fei, today's revenge must be avenged, just wait for me."
Zhang He's teeth chattered as he spoke. Fortunately, he had stayed in the north all year round and was used to the cold. Then he climbed up the mountain on the other side with the help of his entourage.
"General, do we want to cross the river to chase him?" Pang De asked, clasping his fists.
Zhang Fei shook his head and said, "We must chase him, but we still have to find a bridge to cross the river."
"This cofferdam fishing method really works. It took Zhang He so long, but he was easily defeated by General Yide." Yan Yan sighed sincerely.
Pang De clasped his fists and boasted: "General, I have a lot of tricks. It is estimated that no one under Cao Cao can match him."
"Don't brag anymore. I just listened to a few more classes in the martial arts hall. The conspiracy is not as good as that of Zhang He. The so-called conspiracy is still useful." Zhang Fei nodded.
"What should we do now? There are still many prisoners and people in Daqingshan." Wei Yan interjected and asked.
"Badong and Brazil were invaded by Zhang He, and people need to be sent to pacify and stabilize the captives and people on the mountain. General Yan Yan will deal with them," Zhang Fei ordered.
"Wei." Yan Yan cupped her fists and accepted the order.
Zhang Fei continued to give instructions: "Zhang He must flee back to Hanzhong along the mountain trail. Chief Wen led his troops to search in the direction of Xuanhan, and I personally led an army to search in the direction of Hanchang.
Everyone set a deadline of one month, and if they really couldn't find it, forget it. Zhang He was not an important person, so there was no need to waste food for him. "
"The general is right." Wei Yan agreed.
"There may be Cao soldiers in Xuanhan, and Wen Chang can kill them along the way." Zhang Fei reminded.
"Wei." Wei Yan nodded with his fists clasped.
Pang De saw that everyone had plans, but Zhang Fei had forgotten about him. He quickly stepped forward and asked: "Third General, what should I do?"
"Zhang He's troops have been in chaos for two months, and my eldest brother and military advisor must be concerned. I will write a letter to you immediately, telling you to take the waterway to Danqu County and send the information to Chengdu as soon as possible." Zhang Fei explained.
"The last general can also search the mountains."
"Obey the order and rush directly to Danqu Pier."
"only."
Before Pang De could finish his words, he was directly interrupted by Zhang Fei to give an order. In the end, he could only clasp his fists to express his obedience.
Zhang Fei and Pang De drove their horses to the Danqu camp. He briefly described the battle in the letter, then handed it to Pang De and said: "It's a good job to return to Chengdu to report the victory. I think you arranged it like this because of your appetite. President Ming will not satisfy General Zhonglang, right?"
"Thank you, three generals, for your support." Pang De almost burst into tears. He originally thought that Zhang Fei looked down on him, but in the end, he gave him a promotion opportunity. After entering Shu, the sense of belonging immediately came to his heart.
"Do it well, big brother is wise and will not treat you badly." Zhang Fei patted Pang De on the shoulder to encourage him.
Because Zhang Fei's military power is at its peak, he prefers to get close to scholars like Liu Ba. The generals in the camp only have a few friends like Zhao Yun. Later generals such as Wei Yan, Huo Jun, and Yan Yan, most of them repay Zhang Fei's favor. Awe.
Pang De was rescued from Hanzhong by Lan Tian's trick. This is also the fundamental reason why Zhang Fei favors him. On the one hand, it is because Zhang Sanye and Lan Tian have a close relationship. In addition, Liu Bei once said that Lan Tian will not recommend people easily, but once he does, he will definitely do so. He is a pillar of talent.
With gratitude, Pound took a boat from Danqu to the south, bypassed Dianjiang and took Fushui to land in Fucheng, and then rushed overland to Chengdu to report his victory.
Although spring returns in February, the Shu land is still shrouded in cold air.
When Pound arrived in Chengdu, light snow was still falling in the sky.
Because the weather outside was too cold, Liu Bei often held shabu-shabu banquets at General Zuo's Mansion during this period to discuss the military affairs of Yizhou with Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Fazheng and others. Due to the untimely transmission of winter intelligence, they were all worried about the battle situation in Danqu. .
The guards reported that Pang De had come to show victory. Everyone in the palace immediately put down their chopsticks. Zhuge Liang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Congratulations, my lord, Yide must have won the battle."
"Why is the military advisor so sure?" Liu Bei looked confused.
"If it is just a small victory, Yide will not send a general to report the victory." Zhuge Liang analyzed.
"General Pang, please come into the palace and ask." Liu Bei nodded.
Pang De was allowed to stride in and found that the hall was steaming and very warm. There was a small copper pot in front of each person's desk, and the pot was filled with the aroma of food.
In addition to Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, and Fazheng, the three military advisors in the palace were all subordinate officials of General Zuo's Mansion, such as Dong He, Xu Jing, and Liu Yan. They were enjoying themselves and being very lively.
Pound stepped forward and presented Zhang Fei's letter with both hands and said: "The three generals defeated Zhang He in Danqu. He was worried about his lord and the outcome of the war, so he sent the general back to report the victory."
"Ling Ming has had a hard journey." Liu Bei nodded gently while holding the letter, and then told the waiter in the palace: "Add an extra seat for General Pang, just in time to have something to warm up."
"Thank you, Lord." Pang De sat down with his fists clasped.
Pang De watched the shabu-shabu boiling in front of him. The ingredients on the plate were something he had never seen before, and they smelled slightly fishy.
While Liu Bei was reading the letter, Zhuge Liang pointed to the shabu-shabu on the table and introduced it: "This thing is a shabu-shabu. General Pang can put a small amount of food into the pot and cook it. It will definitely open your eyes."
"Is this edible?"
Pound picked up a black thorn-like object, which was as soft as a large caterpillar. It was hard for him to believe that this thing was the object of the entrance.
"This sea cucumber is a great tonic. Shopkeeper Song sent it from Jiaozhou a few days ago. It is basically unavailable in the Chengdu market now." Zhuge Liang smiled slightly.
"Well, let me give it a try."
