Pang De led the 30,000-strong army and traveled more than 100 miles to the east before he came to the location marked by Zhang Liao on the map.

Here is still a lofty mountain, as far as the eye can see, endlessly, at a glance, a quietly flowing river through the mountain, from west to east, rushing straight down, the mountain is divided into two.

Pang De looked at the signs on the map, then looked at the mountains and rivers here, and said to himself: "This should be Li Xianjiang!" ”

The scout on the side nodded and said: "General Qiyu, I have asked the local natives, this is indeed the Li Xian River, now the Li Xian River is gentle, the river is not very deep, it is the most suitable time to cross the river, if you come half a month late, wait until the snow on the mountain melts, and the snow water from all the valleys converges into the Li Xian River, then the river will rise, and the water will become very turbulent, and it will not become quiet again until November." ”

Pound smiled: "It seems that even the heavens are helping us!" ”

But after thinking about it, there was a little more worry between his eyebrows, and he said slowly: "It's just that if you cross the river now, the river is cold, and the soldiers don't know if they can resist the invasion of the cold." ”

Although there are some worries, but it is also a must to do, Pang De immediately asked people to arrange the crossing of the river, this barren mountain and wilderness, not even a figure can be seen, let alone expect that there are natives living by the water along the way, it is impossible to requisition boats. It seems that it can only be forced into the water!

For this reason, Pound specially arranged for the soldiers to do more activities on the shore, and then distributed the spirits brought to everyone to drink, and bent the cold on their bodies first.

After some preparation, Pang De took the lead and was the first to jump into the icy river, and suddenly felt a chill, but fortunately, he had made sufficient preparations before, but he just felt a little cold, and he could grit his teeth and persevere.

The river is not very deep, it is crystal clear, and the deepest place is only more than one person high. can't bury Pound's neck, almost everyone can go over, and the short ones will suffer a little bit in comparison.

"Puff, puff......"

Groups of shirtless men jumped into the icy river one after another, some of them gritting their teeth without saying a word. Some of them started scolding their mothers as soon as they jumped in, but they all endured the cold and walked towards the other side.

Thirty thousand troops went into the water together, what a spectacle it was, and even the horses under them had to wade across the river. But the horses were not human, and they were surprised by a lot, and when one horse was frightened, the rest of the horses did not dare to come near the water's edge again, and the war horses could not be transported at all.

Pound then thought of another way, let people cut down the trees, tie them into wooden rafts, and then discharge the wooden rafts into the river, with people as pillars, standing at the bottom of the river. Carrying the wooden rafts, a pontoon bridge was built for the horses to pass through.

After more than an hour, the pontoon bridge was erected, allowing not only horses to pass through, but also men to walk on it, and an army of 30,000 soon crossed the river. After crossing the river, the army immediately raised piles of bonfires, and everyone sat around the bonfires to roast the fire and drive away the cold.

By this time it was getting late. Pound let the army rest in place and prepare to hit the road again tomorrow, while sending out sentry riders to patrol the vicinity. I'm afraid of some accidents.

Pang De and the others crossed the Li Xian River, and after a night's rest, they set out on the journey again the next day, preparing to detour back behind the enemy.

However, Pound's 30,000 soldiers are so powerful that it is difficult not to attract the attention of others. Meng Huo's people were the first to discover this army, so they quickly reported it to Meng Huo, waiting for orders.

At this moment, Meng Huo was sitting in the cave of Ailao Mountain, and he had been sullen all the time. Since the last time he was plotted by King Mulu, Meng Xu's heart has been uncomfortable, and he always sprinkled the sullenness in his heart on irrelevant people. The most infuriating thing is that King Mulu has disappeared without a trace since then, and no matter how you look for him, you can't find him.

As the saying goes, the monk can't run away from the temple, Meng Shu was furious, and sent a large army to slaughter the tribe of the king of Mulu, killing all the men, and taking the women back as slaves.

On the other hand, Meng Huo has been on the defensive, blocking all roads and sending heavy troops to guard them, and has always formed a confrontation with the Han army.

In the battle of the Snake Valley, although Meng Huo suffered little loss, but due to the betrayal of King Mulu, his personal prestige decreased a lot, and several tribes directly withdrew from this alliance, and there was also intrigue within Nanzhong, Meng Huo has been busy dealing with these things, and has no time to start a big war with the Han army, so he can only drag it on like this.

"King! The dove liao department is urgent! Outside the cave, a deep voice sounded outside.

Meng Huo has been alone these days and doesn't like to be disturbed, so if there is anything, he can only report it outside. After Meng Shu heard this voice, he came to his senses and said to himself: "In the land of the Guliao projectile, can there be any important things, and do you still need to bother the king to look at it?" ”

"The king, it is indeed an urgent matter, according to the envoy of the Jiuliao Department, it seems that they found a large number of Han troops in the Jiuliao Department!"

This news was like a basin of cold water on Meng Shu's head, making him feel a thrill all over his body. The Jiuliao Department is located in the southernmost part of the south, bordering Qiqi County in the east, where the mountains are steep, and there are such dangers as the Li Xianjiang River, how could the Han army get there?

Meng Huo hurriedly let people into the cave, and then after careful questioning, he knew that the news was true. The leader of the Jiuliao Department has always been loyal to Meng Huo, everything is based on Meng Huo's horse head, and the Jiuliao Department is rich in products, and the Minpu Department in the west is his financial base, and the annual tribute to him is no longer a few, because it is located in the rear of the south, so there are few soldiers, if there is really a Han army here, only five hundred people, can turn the world upside down.

Because in Meng Huo's army, most of the soldiers came from the Jiuliao Department, and it can also be said that the ten ** men in the Jiuliao Department were all soldiers under Meng Huo's account, working for Meng Huo, and only some old and weak women and children remained in the tribe.

At first, Meng Shu just thought that the scouts of the Han army had entered here, and he didn't pay much attention to it, but when he asked how many people there were in the Han army, the messenger's answer surprised him, there were actually 30,000 people!

Meng Huo's eyes widened, and he looked at the envoy of the Jiuliao Department with a puzzled gaze, and asked, "Are you sure you just said about 30,000 people, and you didn't mean to scare me?" ”

"The subordinates can conclude that the Han army really has 30,000 people!"

Meng Shu saw that the envoy did not look like he was lying, so he really believed it. He immediately gathered all the generals, dispatched troops, and sent 70,000 troops, led by his wife Mrs. Zhurong, to go to the Jiuliao Department to kill all those Han troops!

Pound's army has indeed entered the Jiuliao Department, and it also occupies this place, because there are no troops to protect it, so when Pound and the others arrived here, they did not encounter any resistance at all.

The people of the Jiuliao Department are very wary of the Han army, and for this reason, Pang De and the Jiuliao Department agreed on three chapters, as long as they don't do illegal things, the Han army will not look for them. In addition, the Han army did not enter the tribe, but set up camp in the barren mountains and mountains outside the tribe, and did not commit any crimes with the local people.

Pound's actions gave the people of the Jiuliao Department a new understanding of the Han army, they were brainwashed by Meng Shu before, and they always thought that the Han people were the big bad guys, but today, it seems that this is not the case.

Pang De stayed in the Jiuliao Department for three days, and during the three days, the Han army and the people of the Jiuliao Department did not have any unpleasant things, but the Han army led by Pang De helped the Jiuliao Department to do a lot of farm work.

Two days later, the scouts sent out by Pound returned with a message. The rebels, led by Meng Huo's wife, Mrs. Zhurong, marched mightily towards the Jiuliao Division, stretching for several miles along the way, with 70,000 people.

When Pound learned this information, he didn't say anything, but was very silent.

Half a day later, Pang Deba set up camp and moved the military camp to the mountain, a certain distance from the Jiuliao Department, in order to fear that the war would come and destroy such a simple tribe as the Jiuliao Department.

Pound's good intentions made the people of the Jiuliao Department grateful, and in just a few days, their way of looking at the world began to change.

Mrs. Zhurong came from afar, and because Pang De occupied the Jiuliao Department, so Mrs. Zhurong asked for a quick victory, and the 70,000 army had not yet arrived, and after the scouts found out the location of the Han army, they immediately launched an attack on the Han army.

It had been several days since he arrived here, and the surrounding terrain was very familiar, so he moved the battlefield to where he is now.

This battlefield was a relatively flat open space, enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people, and Pound's army was already in full formation, with the infantry and cavalry in front of it on both sides, forming a zigzag shape.

Looking at the soldiers and horses brought by Mrs. Zhu Rong, they are all dusty, with a sense of exhaustion, and there is no vigor of the Han army at all.

"Who's that woman?" Pound raised his hand and pointed at the woman who rushed to the front opposite and asked.

"This person is Meng Shu's wife, known as Mrs. Zhurong!" A guide from the Hatoliao Department replied.

Pound said with a smile: "It seems that the rebels have no one left, otherwise they would not have sent a woman to fight......

"General, don't be careless, Mrs. Zhurong is excellent in martial arts, and she is by no means an idle person!"

Pound said: "It's just a woman, what can you do?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Pound shouted to his subordinates: "All the soldiers obey the order, kill them all for me!" ”

With Pound's shout, Pound took the lead, and the first one rushed in, like an arrow off the string.

And the 30,000 troops behind Pang De also launched an attack and rushed directly to the Nanzhong rebels brought by Mrs. Zhurong.

For a while, shouts rang out, shouts of killing and screams resounded all over the world...... (To be continued.) )
