    Wen Chou, who was watching the battle from the rear, saw that the defeat was certain. He couldn't help but sigh deeply and immediately issued an order: "Ming Jin withdraws the troops!" "Dang, clang, clang" A rapid sound of "Ming Jin" immediately sounded on the battlefield.  This sound was heard by hundreds of thousands of Yuan soldiers like the sound of nature.  General Yuan Jun was also frightened by Pang De's army. These Xiliang soldiers were too ferocious. They even killed the enemy on the battlefield, even the dead bodies. All the soldiers who were cut down had to have their right ears cut off before they stopped.  , resulting in many soldiers who fell to the ground pretending to be dead or unconscious and lost an ear, and did not dare to resist.  At this moment, when he heard the sound of ringing gold, Yuan Jun, who was frightened by the killing, immediately collapsed. He did not listen to the command of Ji Ling and others and ran back as hard as he could.  Pang De knew that ordering a chase at this moment would severely injure the enemy. However, this was contrary to Ma Chao's orders. Ma Chao did not want to massacre the Han people. His policy was to capture as many people alive as possible, whether they were enemy generals or soldiers.  Two hundred thousand strong men is not a small number. If they can be captured alive, no matter what, there will be an extra two hundred thousand labor force, and its significance is immeasurable.  Xu Shu, who followed the army out into the battle, also knew Ma Chao's purpose well. When he saw this, he clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, general! Yuan Jun has been frightened out of fear. All he needs to do is lead his troops and then feign an attack. There will be a big harvest before we chase Yuan Jun's camp!"  After hearing this, Pang De felt that he was justified. He immediately led the team in pursuit and tens of thousands of soldiers shouted loudly: "Put down your weapons and you will be rewarded for surrendering! If you resist stubbornly, you will sin against the three tribes!" At the same time, Ma Dai and Xu Shu were left to deal with the treatment of the wounded and to guard the prisoners.  , clean the battlefield.  Yuan Jun has become a frightened bird at this moment. Once he retreats, he will never stop.  Countless people laid down their weapons and surrendered along the way. Pang De led his troops to pursue them ten miles in front of Yuan Jun's camp before finally returning with a full load of prisoners.  After this battle.  More than 3,000 of Pound's 100,000-strong army were killed, tens of thousands were slightly injured, and about 2,000 were seriously injured.  But compared with Yuan's army, it was insignificant. Wen Chou's 200,000-strong army had more than 20,000 killed and nearly 50,000 captured. In addition to the soldiers who escaped and dispersed, Yuan's army that returned to the camp was reduced by nearly half.  The news reached Wuchao, three hundred miles away.  Ma Chao was overjoyed and immediately ordered that all the generals above Captain and above in Pound's army be given one rank and a reward of fifty.  The basic monthly salary of army sergeants will be doubled for the month, tripled for those with minor injuries, and five times for those seriously injured. Pensions for soldiers killed in action will be paid in strict accordance with regulations.  Those who are seriously injured and disabled will be given corresponding jobs within their capabilities to ensure that they will have no worries about food and clothing in the future.  Not only that.  In order to boost the morale of the army, Ma Chao also sent people to spread the news to Xuzhou, Xiangyang and other places where the army was stationed. Within a few days, hundreds of thousands of troops under Ma Chao knew the news, and the morale of the army was high.  Morale is high.  But it was said that Wen Chou stopped going out easily after his defeat. He sent a handwritten letter to Shouchun and handed it over to Yuan Shao, explaining the reason for the defeat and asking for reinforcements to come to help in the battle.  After seeing the gloomy look on Yuan Shao's face, he immediately handed Wen Chou's autographed letter to his advisers for circulation.  After a long time, he finally asked: "Wen Chou has suffered a new defeat. Nearly half of the 200,000 troops have been lost. What do you think?" Feng Ji stood up and said, "The defeat in this battle is reasonable. Pang De is a brave and capable soldier under Ma Chao.  He is a brave general! In the past, he defeated the Xiongnu, conquered Wuheng, conquered Xianbei, and conquered Hanzhong. His troops were all elite soldiers in hundreds of battles. Wen Chou's men are just a bunch of ragtag troops. How can they compare with Pang De's army?"  Yue said: "Having said that, the two armies were defeated miserably just after the battle. Wouldn't it dampen the spirit of the millions of troops under my command?" Feng Ji said: "Ma Chao has strong soldiers and strong horses, and he can defeat the enemy by repeatedly creating strange things. This slave has ten shots.  This technique is truly unseen and unheard of! As I expected, Ma Chao must have more rare items in his hands that he has not used. We still need to be careful to guard against them! General Wen's defeat was due to his ordnance.  He is incompetent!" Yuan Shao took it seriously and nodded: "Ma Chao had planned hard to secretly develop his power, manufacture weapons, and recruit talents as early as the late emperor's time, but we started too late!" Everyone nodded in unison, and Yuan Shao said again!  Said: "There is no turning back when I shoot my bow. No matter what, I will fight to the death with Ma Chao! I wonder if you guys have any good ideas?" Feng Ji, Xin Ping, Guo Tu, Yan Xiang and other counselors all frowned and said nothing. This matter is of great importance.  , who dares to make suggestions easily, if they don't work, they will get burned.  Seeing that the situation was becoming embarrassing, Feng Ji spoke up and said: "Failure is a common occurrence for military strategists. General Wen has superhuman strength, bravery and proficiency in fighting. Coupled with Xu You's advice, even if he cannot capture Nanyang, he can still pin down Pang De's elite troops in Jingzhou."  , It is also beneficial to the lord's great cause!" Yuan Shao asked: "What does Yuan Tu mean by this?" Feng Ji said: "Ma Chao is extremely cunning. He sent a lot of money to win over Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu in advance. His purpose is to draw them into the Central Plains war.  , making the lord think that the two had defected to Ma Chao, and then sent troops to attack Jingzhou! In this way, Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu had no choice but to defect to Ma Chao, and Ma Chao also achieved his goal of regaining Jingzhou without any bloodshed!This plan has been mostly successful!  " Yuan Shao nodded and gritted his teeth and said: "Ma Chao is a treacherous little thief. I will never let you succeed. I will immediately write a letter to Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu to renew their friendship and concentrate all my strength to attack Jizhou!  " Feng Ji shook his head and said: "My lord, you must not do it!  It was already too late at this time. Now that Pang De controlled the northern part of Jingzhou, Zhang Liao crossed the river and entered Jiangdong. Sun Jian was unprepared and captured all Changsha, Baling, Hanshou and other places in Jingzhou. At this time, he wanted to make friends with Liu Biao again.  , is tantamount to a slap in the face!  " Yuan Shao secretly regretted that he should not have been fooled by Ma Chao. Then he remembered that the war in Xuzhou had made no progress and Wen Chou was defeated. He had no clue and asked: "What should we do?  Could it be that the little thief Ma Chao took advantage of it in vain?  " "Of course not!  Feng Ji said decisively: "He has Zhang Liang's plan, and I have a wall and ladder. Now we must use it. We must gather the mob to pretend to attack Jingzhou, contain Pang De and Zhang Liao's 150,000 troops, and at the same time speed up the Guangling war and mobilize all elite forces to attack."  Jizhou.  If Jizhou falls, Qingzhou and Xuzhou will be like weaned babies, and it will be easy to capture them!  " Yuan Shao nodded slightly when he heard this, and was about to speak when he heard Yan Xiang say: "This plan is inappropriate!  Pang De and Zhang Liao are not ordinary people, and they are surrounded by wise and resourceful people. How can a group of rabble stop their elite soldiers?  It is easy to say that Sun Jian and other local princes are in charge of Jiangdong, but Pang De is like a sharp sword hanging over the Lord's head, so he must not be careless.  Otherwise, once they are allowed to break through the defense line and counterattack Yuzhou, they will definitely respond to Ma Chao who is stationed in Wuchao. If they retreat, they can attack Qu Yi and Chunyu Qiong in Yanzhou. In the near future, they can also attack directly into the hinterland of Yuzhou, and their troops will approach Shouchun!  "(To be continued.
