Chapter 1317 Gift of Sword and Robe

Even if the Bingzhou horse thieves had nothing to do with foreigners, Bai Xiaowen had to find a reason to punish these barbarians.

Because of the main task of the Great Unity 2, there is no reminder to complete it yet! What does this mean?

It shows that he, Bai Xiaowen, has not yet completed the strategic goal of "consolidating the North"!

Next to Zhang Yun, there is Qiao Rui, four awakened teammates, including Cecilia, Li Shuyi, and Han Xu, and the crusade against the Xianbei barbarians should not overturn—Zhang Yun’s ability is enough. Among them is the handsome talent with both literary and martial arts.

Bai Xiaowen personally dispatched 30,000 troops to Youzhou to conquer Wuhuan.

The Yuan family has always adopted a soft policy towards Wuhuan, and that is because Cao Cao is a great enemy in the south.

Now that the Cao family has been flattened and the strength of the Yuan family's camp has greatly increased, how can it be possible to continue to implement the "year-old gift" Huairou policy?

There is a saying, "Eat what I eat and spit it out for me." In the past few years, Wuhuan has to repay as much as he has benefited from Yuan's camp!

This has nothing to do with faith, it is just the result of political and military strategic trade-offs.

Even if the relationship between Wuhuan and the Yuan family is acceptable, Bai Xiaowen is not willing to leave behind the hidden dangers of Mobei during the southern expedition. After all, his base camp in Jizhou is too close to Wuhuan and other alien races.

When Ma Chao heard that Bai Xiaowen was going to conquer Wuhuan himself, he was anxious, so he came to Da Sima's mansion to borrow troops.

Bai Xiaowen said: "After I returned from conquering Wuhuan this time, I must conquer Hanzhong. That's why I promised a deadline of ten days or one month. Don't worry about Meng Qi, just wait at ease."

Ma Chao said: "Forgive the Wuhuan barbarians, what is difficult to deal with, and you have to ask Da Sima to conquer it yourself? Borrow some ten thousand cavalry, and within ten days, you can dedicate the head of Tadun to the front of the steps."

Bai Xiaowen laughed and said: "Don't bother Meng Qihuwei, you just recharge your batteries, study the terrain of Hanzhong, and prepare for the expedition."

After a pause, Bai Xiaowen said again: "I would like to lend Pound a trip."

Ma Chao couldn't refuse, so he nodded in agreement.

Back at General Chenglie's mansion, Ma Chao met Pang De and said, "Lingming, have you and Duke Yan had any contact before?"

The second monk Pang Dezhang couldn't figure it out: "Yan Gong and I haven't even spoken a few words."

Ma Chao said, "Then why did he call you by name and ask you to go with the army?"

Pang De was even more puzzled, shaking his head and said: "I really don't know; if the major general is suspicious, I'll just excuse my illness."

Ma Dai next to him said: "No. I will wait under the fence and look up to Da Sima's breath like a baby in the palm of my hand. If Da Sima refuses to breastfeed me, I will starve to death in an instant. Besides, my brother has to borrow troops from Da Sima. There is no need to do it." Do something like this to offend people."

Ma Chao nodded and said, "I have already promised Lord Yan that Ming can go north with the army. However, in the army, you need to hide your strength and bide your time, and don't act too much."

Pound was silent for a while, and nodded in agreement.

...

Ma Chao's calculation is certainly good, but Bai Xiaowen's calculation is beyond Ma Chao's imagination.

Leaving so many powerful generals from the Yuan family in Yedu unnecessary, Bai Xiaowen only brought Pang De and a group of ordinary generals who were not well-known, calling it rest.

On the first day Pang De took orders in Da Sima's Mansion, Bai Xiaowen hosted a banquet and gave him gold, silver and brocade robes, which was extremely warm.

When he arrived in Youzhou, Bai Xiaowen brought Yan Rou, the old department from before, and after a little reorganization,

Then he drove northward.

When the Wuhuan tribe heard the news, they were ready to fight.

The Wuhuan Army has 30,000 soldiers, known as 100,000.

Bai Xiaowen first sent Pound out to lead the charge.

Pang De thought to himself: Although the major general told me to hide my strength and bide my time, if I lose the first battle and dampen our army's morale, Duke Yan's face will definitely look bad; he also underestimated the people in Xiliang. After I won the first battle and the army behind has gained the upper hand, it's not too late to hide my strength and bide my time.

So Pang De cheered up, rode Dawan's good horses to gallop, and beheaded the three generals of Wuhuan in a row.

The morale of the Wuhuan army was greatly reduced, and Bai Xiaowen made people beat the drums to march. The elite soldiers of the Yuan family went through two rounds of elimination, and the quality of the soldiers was no longer what it used to be. With their morale high, they rushed to kill Wuhuan, who could not resist them.

Pound returned to the camp, got off his horse and bowed down.

Bai Xiaowen personally went off to help him up, stroked Pang De's hand and said: "It is widely rumored in Xiliang that Ma Chao is the champion of the three armies. In today's battle, the general's bravery is not inferior to Meng Qi! From Gu's point of view, he is a famous general in the Central Plains. It is also inferior to the general."

Anyway, there is no general of the Yuan family around, so Bai Xiaowen can play hard.

The same flattery, said by different people, has completely different effects.

It's like a kindergarten kid saying "you're amazing", and most people would just laugh it off; if a big boss pats on the shoulder and praises "you're doing a good job", I believe most people will be flattered.

Bai Xiaowen's status in the world of the Three Kingdoms plane at this time is much stronger than that of ordinary big bosses.

Hearing that Bai Xiaowen compared himself to Ma Chao, Pang De quickly apologized.

Bai Xiaowen praised: "Victory is not arrogant, a true general!" He took off his brocade robe and gave it to him, and sent orders to the left and right: "Take the sword!"

Pang De didn't know why, so he saw Duke Yan coming around, holding a sword box.

Bai Xiaowen opened the sword case, took out a high-end and high-grade sheathed sword from it, pulled out half of it, and said to Pound, "Does the general know this sword?"

Pang De saw the cold light of the sword blade, and there was the word "Qingzhi" in bronze near the mouth of the sword, and said: "Although the origin of the last general is unknown, he must be a magic weapon."

Bai Xiaowen smiled and said: "This is one of the two famous swords that Cao Cao ordered skilled craftsmen to forge. The other is called 'Yitian', which has always been worn by Cao Cao. After he killed Cao alone, he used it for himself. It was delivered to Cao Cao's general Xia Houen. Now, I will give this green sword to the general to help you make achievements on the battlefield!"

Pound hurriedly said: "The last general has not made any minor achievements, how dare he take the sword of Lord Yan?"

This sword itself is very rare, but what is even more precious is the meaning it represents, which is a pair with Bai Xiaowen's "Yi Tian Sword"! Represents great honor and favor.

Bai Xiaowen said: "Wu Huan is terrified to kill three generals in the formation, why do you say he has not done any meritorious service? Do you really have the heart to let this sword get dusty?" Forcibly handing the sword to Pang De.

Pang De could only bow down and bow again, and said: "Duke Yan is so kind, the last general is ashamed to accept it."

After this gift of robes and swords, Bai Xiaowen set up a celebration banquet to celebrate the victory of the first battle without mentioning it.

In the evening, a scribe came to Pound's tent. When Pang De saw it, it turned out that it was Youzhou, don't drive Zhao Rong.

Zhao Rong can also be regarded as the first batch of cronies to be subdued after Bai Xiaowen raised his army. He is guarding the place where Bai Xiaowen raised his army - Youyan. His status is of course different from that of ordinary officials. Pang De didn't dare to take it too seriously, and hurriedly led it into the tent.

Inquiring about the reason, Zhao Rong did not beat around the bush, and told Pound that Duke Yan was thirsty for talents.

Pang De was confused, but he still shook his head and insisted: "Although he has received the kindness of Duke Yan, the old master can't bear to betray him. Please tell Duke Yan that the day when the major general surrenders to Duke Yan is the day when Pang De will be loyal to Duke Yan. His body will be broken, Do not hesitate to die!"
