    In the evening of the same day, Jia Xu personally wrote a handwritten letter and gave it to Pound to read. The content was nothing more than saying hello to Wen Chou in Pound's name. His words were sincere and his tone was kind, but he said nothing about the current war.  After seeing it, Pang De didn't ask what his intention was. He printed his personal seal and sent someone to Yuan Jun's camp to hand it over to the coach Wen Chou.  Wen Chou knew that Pound wanted to win over him, but he was stunned by Pound's flattery. After reading it, he took it out for all his subordinates to watch, feeling very happy.  All the officers and soldiers in Yuan's army knew Pound's name, and they were slightly surprised to see that Pound admired Wen Chou so much.  The next day, Wen Chou wrote a reply in his own hand and ordered it to be sent to Pound's military camp. The letter first expressed humility, and then talked about some opinions on martial arts and the art of war, but also said nothing about the war.  As a result, the two sent each other three messages in three days, the content of which was not only martial arts but also the art of war.  Pound's handwriting was naturally done by Jia Xu, and he highly praised Wen Chou's character and martial arts between the lines.  Wen Chou was not a rough man, so he reciprocated the favor, and he and Pound respected each other and raised each other's wealth.  Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and on the fourth day, the two sides again raised their armies to fight in the wild.  Before the battle between the two armies, Wen Chou was riding a green horse, carrying a steel gun, and wearing a phoenix-winged helmet. He looked very powerful.  He glanced at the generals on the left and right, and shouted: "The main force of the enemy army is gathered here. We, thanks to the lord's kindness, are fighting bloody battles to the end! Whoever dares to step forward to challenge, kill the generals in front of the formation to strengthen our army's power!"  " As soon as he finished speaking, a man with a beard stood up, clasped his fists and said: "The last general is incompetent, so I am willing to challenge the enemy and scold the enemy. If the enemy is defeated, he will not return!" Wen Chou took a closer look and saw that it was General Guo Yuan.  He immediately said: "It would be great to have General Guo on the horse, but this battle must be won and not defeated. If our army's spirit is dampened, don't blame me for handling it!" "That's the order!" Guo Yuan immediately got on his horse and held a pole.  The spear came to the front of the two armies to scold the formation.  As a general, Pang De would not go out easily. Just when he was about to ask, he saw Pang Rou, Ma Dai and Wang Shuang standing up to ask for orders almost at the same time.  Pang De didn't know the depth of his enemy's generals.  They had no choice but to send Wang Shuang, the strongest martial artist among the three, to fight.  Wang Shuang was very excited after being ordered to do so.  He immediately hid his meteor hammer and iron bow, and went out to meet the enemy with his long sword in hand.  At this moment, Jia Xu, who was accompanying the army, rode over and whispered a few instructions in Wang Shuang's ears.  Wang Shuang frowned slightly, but still nodded.  A wave of war horses rushed straight to the front of the two armies.  He shouted: "The rebels should not be so rampant. The great general's powerful general Wang Shuang is here!" Guo Yuan came from a noble family and his martial arts skills were only average. He became a general because of his close relationship with Yuan Shao's nephew, a senior official.  This time, Yuan Shao incorporated slaves from aristocratic families, refugees, and refugees to form a protective corps.  Many children from aristocratic families hold important positions in the military.  Usually commanding hundreds or even thousands of soldiers, a sense of superiority arises spontaneously.  If you can shine in front of the two armies, you will undoubtedly have another bragging capital.  Guo Yuan thought that his martial arts skills were not bad. During training, dozens of strong domestic slaves could not get close to him. He seemed to have an invincible mentality. He was not afraid of the generals in front of the battle, and he would not take Wang Shuang seriously. He immediately said  : "Ma Chao is a traitor to the country! You are Ma Chao's minions, how dare you call yourself a general? If you know this, you will dismount and surrender immediately. I may give you a way out! If not, today next year will be your memorial day?"  "Wang Shuang was furious and cursed: "How dare you talk so wildly? Wang's head is here, I'm afraid you don't have the ability to come and get it!" After that, he swung the sixty-six kilogram black iron knife directly to Guo Yuan's head.  Hack away.  Guo Yuan was completely unafraid, and hurriedly raised his horse to greet him with his spear. After the two horses met with a crisp sound, the spear in Guo Yuan's hand flew away without any suspense. His mouth cracked and his face turned pale.  It was too late, but it was too soon. At the moment when the two horses crossed each other, Wang Shuang stretched out his arms and grabbed the jade belt around Guo Yuan's waist with his right hand like lightning. He straightened his waist and pulled it over as if it were nothing.  On his horse's back, he punched Guo Yuan on the back of the head again, causing the latter to faint immediately.  This beautiful move to capture the enemy immediately detonated the whole audience. The army of more than 100,000 people behind Pound cheered thunderously, and cheers came and went.  Even many people in Yuan's army couldn't help but agree.  Wang Shuang succeeded with one blow and immediately rode back to his camp to ask for credit.  Pang De and Jia Xu were overjoyed and quickly ordered their men to be tied up and imprisoned.  Wen Chou, on the other hand, became angry and cursed: "Trash! You are a loser! How dare you ask for a fight when you are a trash who can't even stop me? You really don't know how to live or die!" After the words fell, Guo Yuan's friend Gao Gan was unhappy and stood.  He came out and cupped his fists and said: "It goes without saying that General Wen is the most brave among the three armies. In that case, why not go out to meet the enemy in person? If so, how could General Guo be defeated and captured?" Wen Chou's face was ashen, and he glared at Gao Gan and shouted: "  The enemy general has not moved, how can I take action easily? Since General Gao is aggrieved for Guo Yuan, he must have a brave strategy. I will immediately order you to fight Wang Shuang and capture him alive!" "You" Gao!  Qian was so angry that he never looked down upon her.Wen Chou, who came from a poor family, and because Yuan Shao did not use his nephew as the commander in his attack on Jingzhou this time, felt even more unbalanced, so he looked for opportunities to make sarcastic remarks.  It¡¯s okay in normal times, Wen Chou is not as knowledgeable as this young master, but today, how can we allow others to gossip in front of the two armies?  At that moment, he held the hilt of the sword and looked at the senior officer with no intention of backing down.  The supervisors Xu You and Yuan Yi who came with the army saw this and hurriedly came out to relieve the siege. Xu You said: "We are facing a powerful enemy. Please refrain from internal strife. How can we live up to our lord's trust? General Gao feels unwell due to the cold.  Please calm down General Wen. I think it¡¯s better to let General Lei Bo go to war.¡± Yuan Shao¡¯s cousin Yuan Yi and Ji Ling and other generals all agreed. Although Wen Chou was the leader, he had no choice but to nod.  Lei Bo was originally a child of an aristocratic family. When Yuan Shao was pacifying the two states of Yu and Yang, he and his friend Chen Lan from the same county came to join him.  When the Yuan family saw that the two men came from a noble family and had extraordinary martial arts skills, they put them into high regard and now they are serving as generals in the army.  Lei Bo thought to himself that Wu Yi and Guo Yuan were between brothers. If he fought with Wang Shuang, he would have no chance of winning. However, he had to obey the military orders. He looked at Xu You bitterly and had no choice but to mount his horse and go to meet the enemy, secretly planning to fight for a while.  He retreated in defeat after one round.  In front of the two armies, the general sent by Pound this time was Ma Dai.  After the two exchanged their names, Lei Bo was overjoyed. Ma Dai was Ma Chao's cousin, and everyone knew about it. If he could capture Ma Dai, it would be a miracle.  Even Wen Chou, Ji Ling, Gao Gan, Chen Lan and others who were watching the battle in the back were jealous and envious.  When Ma Dai saw Lei Bo's expression, he guessed what he was thinking, and sneered: "My current rank is still captain, but the head on your neck can make me promoted to colonel. Before taking action, I  Thank you in advance!" After saying that, he stepped forward with his sword and swept through the entire army with one move, reaching for Lei Bo's neck.  Lei Bo also used a big sword, and stood with Ma Dai energetically.  Ma Dai is now over 18 years old, eight feet in length, and has a strong body. His family's sword skills are also very good. He can attack and defend well with a broadsword, and his sword skills are extremely pure.  When the two of them fought to the end, Ma Dai had the absolute upper hand, beating Lei Bo until he could only parry but not fight back. If he continued like this, he could win without even getting out of the way.  Lei Bo was not a fool, he just didn't expect Ma Dai to have such force at such a young age. Seeing that he couldn't resist, he made a feint with his sword, turned his horse and left.  "Where to go!" How could Ma Dai let him go so easily?  Immediately he hung up his long knife, reached out and took out the meteor hammer and shook it, hitting Lei Bo's left shoulder, knocking him off his horse and not knowing whether he would live or die!  The 100,000-strong army roared with joy again, and their morale had risen to the extreme.  On the other hand, Yuan Shao's 200,000 miscellaneous troops were all dejected, stamping their feet and beating their chests.  The biggest purpose of fighting generals before a battle is to boost one's own morale and undermine the enemy's morale. If the opponent's general can be killed in formation, most of the leaderless soldiers will disperse in a rush, thus achieving the goal of victory without a fight.  Wen Chou frowned upon seeing this, but as a general, how could he easily go into battle?  A full-army assault is even more unfeasible. The chance of winning in such a situation is not even 30%.  Pound's side was exactly the opposite. Once Ma Dai won, he ordered his generals to lead their cavalry to charge.  Tens of thousands of cavalry attacked at the same time, causing a burst of smoke and dust, and thousands of troops rushed straight towards Wen Chou's camp.  Seeing this, Wen Chou quickly commanded to defend the enemy. First, the pikemen arranged a spear array on the outside. The sharp spears were densely lined up to form a hedgehog wall, waiting for Pang De's cavalry to rush up and die.  Behind the spear array were heavy slaves, each holding a large yellow spear, ready to shoot the charging cavalry from a distance.  Behind them is a miscellaneous army with various weapons. There are more than 100,000 people gathered densely together, and the entire front is nearly ten miles long.  Seeing this, Pang De did not want to make a needless sacrifice, so he immediately ordered his cousin Pang Rou and Wang Shuang to lead 10,000 cavalry each to run to both sides in an attempt to attack the flanks of Wen Chou's army in a detour.  A large group of cavalry diverted in the north and south directions like two dragons emerging from the water, leaving only smoke and dust along the way, making it difficult to see what was real.  Wen Chou had no cavalry at all, so he could only watch helplessly as the troops were divided. He wanted to change the formation but was afraid that Pound would still have the cavalry behind him, so he had to keep the formation unchanged until the situation was clear.  After a while, the smoke gradually dissipated, and a group of sword and shield soldiers were slowly approaching with neat steps.  This pair of men and horses only had about ten rows horizontally, but countless rows vertically. They came toward Yuan Jun's position in a half-moon shape.  Under the sunlight, the soldiers of Pound's army were all wearing shining fish scales, black iron helmets, and hideous masks, like demons in hell.  What¡¯s even more terrifying is that this team is not all sword and shield soldiers, there are also many archers and crossbowmen among them. Once they get close, these spearmen on our side will suffer heavy losses.  The heavy spearmen behind the spear array could not shoot through the shields at all, and the arrows and crossbow arrows they shot were shot back.  Wen Chou was so anxious that he secretly cursed Ma Chao for his strong financial resources.?Sophisticated equipment combined with elite soldiers who have fought in hundreds of battles will make them an invincible force.  Ninety percent of his team are new recruits who have never been in battle. Even if the number is doubled, there is no chance of winning.  Deputy General Ji Ling also frowned and said in a deep voice: "The situation is not good. If we attack by force, we will definitely be defeated. General, please think twice!" (To be continued)
