    Pang De led the 30,000 troops and circled eastward for more than a hundred miles before arriving at the location marked by Zhang Liao on the map.  There are still high mountains here. As far as the eye can see, they are endless and endless. A quietly flowing river passes through the mountains, rushing straight down from west to east, dividing the mountains 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 Qi, we have asked  Passing by the local people, this is indeed the Lixian River. Now the current of the Lixian River is gentle and the river is not very deep. It is the most suitable time to cross the river. If we arrive half a month later, we will wait until the snow on the mountains melts and the snow water flows from all directions.  The valleys gather together and flow into the Lixian River. When the time comes, the river water will rise and the water flow will become very turbulent. It will not become quiet again until November. " Pang De said with a smile: "It seems that even God is here.  Help us!" But after thinking about it, there was a hint of worry in his eyebrows, and he said slowly: "It's just that if we cross the river now, the river is cold, and the soldiers don't know whether they can withstand the cold. "Although there is.  He was worried, but it was also something that had to be done. Pang De immediately asked people to arrange the crossing of the river. In this barren mountain and ridge, not even a single person could be seen, let alone the natives living by the water along the way. He wanted to requisition  Not even a ship.  It seems that the only option is to cross the river by force!  To this end, Pound specially arranged for the soldiers to do more activities on the shore, and then distributed the spirits he brought to everyone to drink, so as to succumb to the coldness on their bodies.  After some preparations, Pang De took the lead and jumped into the cold river first. He suddenly felt a biting coldness, but fortunately, he had made enough preparations before, and he only felt a little chilly, so he could grit his teeth and persevere.  The river is not very deep, it is crystal clear, and the deepest part is only as high as a person.  It can't cover Pound's neck, so almost everyone can get through, but short people will suffer a bit in comparison.  "Plop, plop" Groups of shirtless men jumped into the cold river one after another, some gritting their teeth without saying a word.  Some started cursing as soon as they jumped in, but they all endured the cold and walked to the other side.  Thirty thousand troops entered the water together. What a spectacular scene it was. Even their horses had to wade across the river.  But the horses were not human beings, so they were surprised a lot. One was frightened, and the rest of the horses did not dare to go near the water anymore, and the war horses could not transport it at all.  Pang De then thought of another way, asking people to cut down the trees, tie them into rafts, and then put the rafts into the river, with people as pillars standing at the bottom of the river.  Carrying those rafts, a pontoon bridge was built for the horses to pass.  More than an hour later, the pontoon bridge was erected, allowing not only horses to pass, but also people to walk on it. The 30,000-strong army soon crossed the river.  After crossing the river, the army immediately set up piles of bonfires. Everyone sat around the bonfires to warm themselves up and drive away the cold.  It was getting late at this time.  Pang De let the army rest where it was and prepared to go on the road tomorrow. At the same time, he sent out sentries to patrol nearby.  Afraid of encountering some accident.  Pang De and others crossed the Li Xianjiang River. After a night's rest, they embarked on the journey again the next day, preparing to roundabout and return to the enemy's back.  "However, Pound's 30,000 soldiers are so large and powerful that it is difficult not to attract others' attention.  Meng Huo's men were the first to discover this army, so they quickly reported it to Meng Huo and waited for orders.  At this moment, Meng Huo was sitting in the cave of Ailao Mountain, feeling gloomy all the time.  Ever since he was assassinated by King Mulu last time, Meng Huo has been feeling uncomfortable, and he always vents his anger on irrelevant people.  The most annoying thing is that King Mulu has disappeared without a trace since then. No matter how hard he searches, he cannot be found.  As the saying goes, a monk cannot escape the temple if he runs away. Meng Huo was furious and sent an army to massacre King Mulu's tribe, 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, forming a confrontation with the Han army.  Although Meng Huo suffered little losses in the battle at Coil Snake Valley, his personal prestige dropped a lot due to King Mulu's betrayal. Several tribes directly withdrew from the alliance, and intrigues began to arise within Nanzhong. Meng Huo  I have been busy dealing with these things and have no time to start a battle with the Han army, so I can only drag it out like this.  "Your Majesty! Urgent report from Jiuliao!" A deep voice sounded outside the cave.  Meng Huo has been alone these days and doesn't like to be disturbed, so if anything happens, he can only report it outside.  After Meng Huo heard this voice, he calmed down and said to himself: "What important things can happen in the small area of ??Jiuliao, why don't you"Has King Laoben seen it?  " "Your Majesty, it is indeed an urgent matter. According to the envoy from the Jiuliao tribe, it seems that they have discovered a large number of Han troops in the Jiuliao tribe!  " This news was like a basin of icy cold water hitting Meng Huo's head, making him feel agitated all over. The Jiuliao tribe is located at the southernmost end of Nanzhong, bordering Zanggao County to the east. There are high mountains and mountains there.  With Li Xianjiang so dangerous, how could the Han army get there? Meng Huo hurriedly asked people to enter the cave, and after careful questioning, he found out that the news was true. The leader of the Jiuliao tribe had always been loyal to Meng Huo and followed Meng Huo in everything.  It's important to win the horse's head, and the Jiuliao tribe is rich in products, and the Minpu tribe to the west is his financial base. There are not a few tributes to him every year. Because it is located in the rear area of ????Nanzhong, there are few soldiers. If it is really  If there were Han troops here, only five hundred men would be able to turn this place upside down. Because most of the soldiers in Meng Huo's army came from the Jiuliao tribe, it can also be said that ten of the men in the Jiuliao tribe were the best.  , all served as soldiers under Meng Huo's tent and worked for Meng Huo. The only ones left in the tribe were some old and weak women and children. At first, Meng Huo just thought that Han army scouts had entered here and didn't pay much attention to it, but he let him know.  When asked how many people there were in the Han army, the envoy's answer surprised him. There were actually 30,000 people! Meng Huo opened his eyes wide and looked at the envoy from the Jiuliao tribe with doubts, and asked: "You  Are you sure you just said 30,000 people and didn't mean to scare me?  " "I can conclude that the Han army really has 30,000 soldiers!"  " When Meng Huo saw that the envoy didn't look like he was lying, he really believed it. He immediately gathered his generals, mobilized his troops, and sent an army of 70,000, led by his wife, Mrs. Zhu Rong, to the Jiuliao tribe to capture those  The Han army was all killed! Pound's army had indeed entered the Jiuliao tribe and occupied it. Since there was no force to guard it, Pang De and others did not encounter any resistance at all when they arrived.  The people were very wary of the Han army. For this reason, Pang De made an agreement with the Jiuliao tribe. As long as they did not do anything illegal, the Han army would not come after them. In addition, the Han army did not enter the tribe, but stayed in the tribe.  They set up camp in the barren mountains outside the tribe and did not interfere with the local people. These actions of Pang De gave the people of the Jiuliao tribe a new understanding of the Han army. They had been brainwashed by Meng Huo before.  I thought that the Han people were the bad guys, but today it seems that this is not the case. Pang De stayed in Jiuliao tribe for three days. During these three days, nothing unpleasant happened between the Han army and the people of Jiuliao tribe.  On the contrary, the Han army led by Pang De helped the Jiuliao tribe with a lot of farm work. Two days later, the scouts sent by Pang De returned and brought back news that the rebels were led by Meng Huo's wife, Mrs. Zhu Rong.  Next, they marched toward the Jiuliao tribe in a mighty manner, stretching for several miles. There were 70,000 people in total. When Pang De learned this information, he did not make any statement, but remained silent for half a day.  Pound set up camp and moved the general camp to the mountain, a certain distance away from the Jiuliao tribe. He was afraid that the coming war would destroy a tribe with simple folk customs. Pound's good intentions made Jiuliao tribe.  The people of Liaobu were very grateful, and in just a few days, their way of looking at the world began to change. Mrs. Zhu Rong came all the way, and because Pound occupied Jiuliao, Mrs. Zhu Rong wanted a quick victory.  , the 70,000-strong army had not yet arrived. After the scouts discovered the location of the Han army, they immediately launched an attack on the Han army. In this battle, Pang De had the upper hand. It had been several days since he arrived, and the surrounding terrain was unknown.  They are all very familiar with it, so he moved the battlefield to his current location. This battlefield is a relatively flat open space, enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people. Pound's army has already been prepared, with infantry in front and cavalry on both sides.  A formation was formed. Looking at the soldiers and horses brought by Mrs. Zhu Rong, they were all tired and tired. "Who is that woman?"  Pang De raised his finger and pointed at the woman rushing across from him at the front and asked. "This person is Meng Huo's wife, known as Mrs. Zhu Rong!"  "A guide from the Jiuliao tribe replied. Pang De smiled and said: "It seems that the rebels have few people left, otherwise they would not send a woman to fight" "General, please don't be careless, Mrs. Zhu Rong's martial arts skills  Outstanding, no ordinary person!  Pang De said: "I'm just a prostitute, what ability can I have?"  " As soon as he finished speaking, Pang De shouted to his subordinates: "All soldiers, listen to the order and kill them all!  ¡± With Pound¡¯s cry, Pound took the lead.?, the first one rushed in, like an arrow leaving the string.  The 30,000 troops behind Pound also launched an attack and rushed directly towards the Nanzhong rebels brought by Mrs. Zhu Rong. ???????????????????????????????????????
