"As long as we see General Yang, all rumors will be self-defeating, let's pick a few of them and go to see General Yang together to see if General Yang is really recuperating from his injuries, or if he is imprisoned by Pound!"

The matter of Yang Ang's beheading by Pang De is currently known only to a few senior generals in the three camps in charge of Yang Ang.

However, Guo Huai's letters were shot into various camps.

The uninformed general was also a little worried in his heart, afraid that the words in the letter were true, and after some discussion, he decided to go to see Yang Ang. The original intention, of course, was to refute the rumors to reassure the army.

After a while, the generals and colonels in each battalion gathered at Pang De's camp and wanted to see Yang Ang.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Pound and several well-informed generals gathered.

Pang De's face was gloomy, and he said coldly: "Cao Jun really deliberately let Yang Ang come back, although I couldn't hold on, I still guessed it for them!" ”

Yijiang said with a sad face: "Now that all the soldiers of the camp are gathered outside the gate to see Yang Ang, how should this be?" ”

"Last night was still too impulsive, the general shouldn't have killed him, Yang Ang was better imprisoned, and now that he is dead, if the soldiers know about it, they must not mutiny?"

The generals sighed, helpless at a loss for what to do about the current situation.

"Smack!" Pang De slapped the table and said coldly: "Kill and kill, what do you regret?" Now the only way to do this is to tell the generals the truth, hoping that they can keep it a secret. Go and call the generals in! ”

"That's all!" The general sighed and left the tent, but after a while, he led more than a dozen people to the big tent.

Among the crowd, one of them came out and said, "General, Cao Jun shot a letter, saying that you imprisoned General Yang Ang, and even colluded with Ma Chao...... Now the morale of the army in the battalions is turbulent, so we have come to ask for the truth of this matter to reassure the army! ”

Pang De looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Surrender Ma Chao? I'm now in Yangping Pass, what do I want to surrender to Ma Chao? Cao Jun shot this letter just to shake the hearts of our army, do you really believe it? ”

A general arched his hand and said: "The general forgives the sin, we don't believe it, but now because General Yang Ang does not show up, most of the soldiers believe it, we have no choice but to come to see General Yang Ang, and go back to calm the hearts of the army." ”

"Want to see Yang Ang?" Pound shook his head and said, "You can't see him anymore!" ”

The first general was surprised when he heard this: "Could it be that General Yang Ang was not seriously injured, and the general really imprisoned him?" ”

Pang De sighed, and said to the generals: "Yang Ang returned to the camp after the defeat the day before yesterday, and shifted all the responsibility for the defeat to me, and even more wanted to seize the military power and cut off my head, this person has repeatedly insulted me, I can't get angry for a while, so I have to kill him!" ”

"Kill him ......"

The generals were shocked when they heard this, and they were so shocked by the news that they couldn't speak.

originally thought that Pang De's imprisonment of Yang Ang was just a rumor, but in modern times, Pang De directly killed Yang Ang.

"Yang Ang's martial arts are mediocre, the day before yesterday he chased the enemy in ambush, surrounded by tigers and leopards, with his martial arts, how can he escape back? I asked the soldiers who fled with him, but Cao Jun deliberately let Yang Ang come back. Pang De looked at everyone and asked, "Do you know why Cao Jun let Yang Ang back?" ”

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.

Pang De said in a deep voice: "Because Cao Jun knows that Yang Ang is arrogant and incompetent, and killing him directly will make me alone in charge of the army, so it will be even more difficult to seize Yangping Pass." So they let Yang Ang come back and let him deal with me. Sure enough, Yang Ang came back and wanted to shift the responsibility for the defeat to me, repeatedly insulted me, and wanted to take away my military power.

This is Cao Jun's strategy, if I kill Yang Ang, they will implement a strategy to disrupt our army's heart, if I don't kill Yang Ang, then Yang Ang will deal with me, even if I am not killed by him, it will be the main general's discord, and it will be difficult to defend Yangping Pass. In order to defend Yangping Pass, I had to kill him again and again.

Because I believe that you are all reasonable people, and everyone knows in their hearts what kind of person I Pound is. Now that the enemy is present, I hope that you will focus on the overall situation, and after you go back, you will tell the soldiers that Yang Ang is seriously injured, and now he is recuperating from his injuries, and you have already seen him, so that the soldiers can rest assured, so as to stabilize the morale of the army.

Pound paused after speaking, took out the sword from his waist, stuck it on the desk, pointed to the long sword that was shaking, and shouted: "If you can't trust me Pound, and think that I Pound will take refuge in Ma Chao, then use this sword to kill me Pound!" ”

"The general said with a smile, now that Yangping Pass needs you to guard it, we naturally have to focus on the overall situation."

"Yang Ang was killed by the general for his own fault, no wonder the general."

"After I go back, I will tell the soldiers that Yang Ang is not imprisoned, so as to appease the morale of the army."

Yang Ang's means of winning people over had not yet reached home, and these generals were only surprised when they heard that Yang Ang had been killed, but they had no intention of avenging him. After listening to Pound's words, they all decided to focus on the overall situation and not pursue the matter for the time being.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Pang De breathed a sigh of relief and said, "In that case, please return to the camp to calm the hearts of the army." In addition, in order to prevent Cao Jun from coming up with any tricks to disturb our army's heart, he will shoot letters in the future and collect them immediately and destroy them! ”

"No!"

The generals returned to their respective camps and told the soldiers that they had seen Yang Ang, and now Yang Ang was seriously injured and was recuperating, so that the soldiers could rest assured.

When the soldiers heard the news, they naturally did not believe the rumors and tore up the letters one after another.

The generals were training the soldiers: "Cao Jun shot this letter just to shake the hearts of our army, this time we are defenseless, and the plan will be forgotten." But the loss can only be eaten once, if Cao Jun is shooting letters once, it will be unobservable, and it will be collected and destroyed immediately. If I let me know who read the letter and spread rumors, Hugh blame Ben will kill him for military justice! ”

"No!" All the soldiers surrendered their orders one after another.

Three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Guo Huai led his troops to the Hanzhong military camp every day to shoot letters, and the contents of the letters were all some news made out of nothing, so as to shake the hearts of the Hanzhong army.

But Pound relied on the support of the generals to stabilize the morale of the army.

Knowing that the content of the letter was a rumor, and the general issued a strict order, the soldiers naturally did not read the letter, and as soon as the letter entered the camp, the soldiers collected the letter and destroyed it uniformly.

Cao Jun camp in the village.

Xiahou Yuan sat in the first seat and said to the generals: "Now that three days have passed, Guo Huai has been shooting letters at the Hanzhong military camp every day in the past few days. Therefore, I intend that early tomorrow morning, I will lead my troops to attack the camp, and within three days, I will take Yangping Pass in one fell swoop. ”
