Chapter 5 Pound

Prisoner of war camps

Guan Ping and Deng Ai slowly walked into the camp one after the other, and a team of sergeants guarding in front of the gate immediately bowed when they saw this.

Immediately, Guan Ping stopped, turned his head to look at the captain of the garrison of this team, and said, "What is the situation of the prisoners of war in the past few days, has there been a riot?" ”

"Tell the Major General that the prisoners of war are all safe and have no signs of life, but that Pound hovers in the camp all day long because the Major General's order does not restrict his personal freedom."

"Huh?"

Hearing the report of the garrison captain, Guan Ping couldn't help but be stunned for a while, Cao Jun showed no signs of rioting, but it was unexpected.

After all, the Seventh Army of the Forbidden Department was originally composed of Qingzhou soldiers, and the Qingzhou soldiers were the strong forces that Cao Cao incorporated after he defeated the Yellow Turban Thieves.

It stands to reason that it is very unreasonable for such a mixed and unruly army to be captured, but they are safe and sound.

"Major General, in fact, the safety of prisoners of war is also related to your order, when you ordered not to abuse prisoners of war, wantonly beat and scold, and treat them equally, just like this, to this day, there are no troublemakers!"

When he said this, not only the captain of the garrison, but also the many soldiers who were responsible for guarding the prisoners of war, couldn't help but admire Guan Ping so much.

At that time, when Guan Ping ordered the prisoners of war to be treated well, all the sergeants did not understand his meaning, and it was only at this moment that they realized how clever their major general's methods were.

Immediately, Guan Ping was inquiring about some information, so he stepped straight into the camp, slowly walked into the camp, and looked around, the tents where the prisoners of war were held stretched for several miles, and at this time, many prisoners of war were holding shackles on their hands and feet, and under the guard of a team of sergeants, they were breathing outside at the moment.

Looking around, Guan Ping suddenly noticed that in a corner, a burly man with a cloak was sitting on a boulder in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

Although the distance was relatively far away, Guan Ping could still see at a glance that this person was the brave and strong Xiliang fierce general Pang De.

After staring for a moment, Guan Ping took a deep breath, his face was shocked, and he led Deng Ai towards that direction.

"Alas, I think I, Pound, have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and I think I am the champion of the three armies, but in the first half of my life, I mistakenly voted for my master, resulting in my namelessness."

"I finally met King Wei, and I was deeply respected, I thought I could follow him to make meritorious achievements and become famous in Kyushu, but I became a prisoner of the rank in the first battle!"

"It's really sad, it's a pity, is my Pound's life finally over?"

"Oh, I didn't expect the Xiliang warriors, who have always been iron-clad, to have such worries."

"Pang Lingming, since you want to achieve a lot of fame, why don't you join my Han, you and I will work together to exterminate the traitors and support the Han family, thousands of years later, your name will definitely be like Wei Huo, and it will be praised from generation to generation."

Only when Pound was thinking about it, he suddenly remembered with a loud shout in his ear, he couldn't help but be shocked, and looked up at the prime minister in an instant, and then said coldly: "You? Where do you come from? ”

Hearing this, Guan Ping pretended to be surprised, and said suspiciously: "I think General Pang doesn't welcome Ping?" ”

"However, this is my Jingzhou camp, and Ping is a major general, why can't he come?"

In just two sentences, Pang De was choked with a gray nose, and then he knew that Guan Ping could speak well, not in words, and turned his back to stand.

In the past two days, Guan Ping has come to persuade him to surrender countless times!

Seeing this, Guan Ping was not annoyed, his face was full of smiles, and then he suddenly sat next to Pang De and said: "General Pang, although you and I are hostile people, you are brave and brave, and you are an out-and-out hero of Xiliang. ”

"I am very eager to look forward to you joining our army, you and I will work together to make contributions and rejuvenate the Han Dynasty."

As soon as the words fell, after thinking for a moment, Pang De suddenly turned around, his eyes were calm, and he said resolutely: "You don't have to persuade, I will not be greedy for life and afraid of death, and surrender to your army." ”

After a pause, he continued: "Although I, Pang De, am a rough man, I also know that loyal ministers are not two masters, and the king of Wei is extremely important to me, I should repay me with death, and I will never be that disloyal and unrighteous person!" ”

A word is said very strongly, if it is replaced by someone else, I am afraid that it will really fulfill the name of his loyalty.

But Guan Ping is from later generations, he knows Pang De's ability, for Shu Han, such a brave and martial general, can be surrendered, that is Shu Han's luck!

After all, Shu Han lacks generals, this is a fact, and the most important thing is that Pang De, as a native of Xiliang, once followed the Ma father and son in Liangzhou, and also enjoyed a certain reputation in the local area.

If Pang De can really return to obedience, he will be able to get twice the result with half the effort when he goes out of the Qinling Mountains to the north to attack Guanzhong and Liangzhou in the future!

"General Pang, since you said that the traitor Cao Cao is more important than you, then Ping dares to ask, where do you think Cao Cao reuses you?"

"Could it be that as a lieutenant general, this is very important?"

The voice slowly fell, Guan Ping pointed directly to the key point, inspected his face, and saw that Pang De did not change in the slightest, Guan Ping continued: "As we all know, Cao Cao has always put the clan first, and the general will not have the opportunity to be alone at all. ”

"General Pang, you came to aid as reinforcements this time, and you are Yu Ban's deputy general, but in fact, whether it is you or Yu Ban, you have to obey Cao Ren's command."

"Xiangfan fights, you and others are also under Cao Ren's control, not a single army, this is a fact, right?"

As soon as he said this, the corners of Pound's mouth moved slightly, but he didn't say a word.

Seeing this, Guan Ping's expression was not easy to perceive, he felt a hint of change, and continued: "This shows that in the eyes of Cao Cao, the foreign general is a foreign general after all, and the trust is not comparable to that of the people of the clan. ”

"In addition, General Pang can take a look, when he was the governor of Hanzhong, and when he was in Guanzhong, he was also led by Xiahou Yuan of the clan, and he supervised Zhang He, Xu Huang and other veterans with outstanding military achievements."

"Secondly, Hebei is also dominated by Cao Cao's son Cao Zhang, Xiahou Dun, although the eastern part is dominated by the defense line against the Sun family, and it is mainly the foreign general Zhang Liao, but General Pang thinks that Cao Cao is really so relieved?"

"Le Jin, Li Dian, and Zhang Liao's three generals have equal ranks, they are all veterans, they are not subordinate to each other, and they restrain each other, it is precisely like this that Cao Cao will rest assured."

"Therefore, with Zhang Liao, Yu Ban, Le Jin and other highly meritorious generals, they are still under the generals of the clan, not to mention that you are still a latecomer?"

"General Pang asked himself, do you think your merits can be compared to Zhang Liao?"

Before the words fell, Pound's face reversed, and he said in a muffled voice: "What do you want to say?" ”

Hearing this, Guan Ping was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "I should persuade you to submit to our army and restore the Han family with me." ”

"My lord Hanzhong Wang Xinyi is written in the four seas, who does not depend on each other in the world, and treats the virtuous and talented, but also boldly appointed, there is no difference between relatives and relatives!"

"My father, General Zhang Fei, your old lord General Ma Chao, General Huang Hansheng, and General Wei Yan, who is now leading the troops in Hanzhong, but my lord does not talk about the difference between blood and clan, and boldly appoints talents."

"So, General Pang, with your talent, Cao Wei is the talent of the deputy general, and he will be under the clan for life, but on our side, as long as he has talent, he will be in charge and sit on the side of the party!"

"General Pang can think carefully and deeply, and he doesn't have to make up his mind so early!"

At this moment, he saw Pang De's head twisted to the side, and he did not look directly at Guan Ping, nor did he refuse to surrender bluntly as before.

Seeing this, Guan Ping secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had already been moved, but he was still thinking hard because of his face!

Immediately, Guan Ping did not force it, and turned to another topic, saying: "General Pang, you remind your old department, two days later, you will all follow the general across the river." ”

As soon as these words came out, Guan Ping didn't continue to disturb Pang De's thoughts, and led Deng Ai straight away.

Waiting for Guan Ping to leave, Pang De suddenly turned around, the complicated color in his eyes became thicker and thicker, staring closely at the back of Guan Ping's departure, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.

It is impossible to say that Pound is completely unmoved, like Pound and others, who are full of thousands of abilities, and the utilitarian heart in his chest must be extremely strong!

Guan Ping's saying that Cao Cao attaches great importance to the clan is indeed a fact, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that Pang De is not a fool, and he naturally knows very well!

At this moment, Pang De is really haggard, and he doesn't know how to choose this multiple-choice question, on the one hand, he submits to Liu Bei, and with his own ability, it is not impossible to be alone!

On the other hand, they don't want to bear the negative reputation of betraying their Lord.

…………

Walking out of the prisoner of war camp, Deng Ai from the side couldn't help asking: "Young ...... General, you... I feel that Pound... Will you choose to submit to our army? ”

Hearing this, Guan Ping stopped, his eyes fluttered, and he said softly: "If Pound is easily obedient, then he is not the Pound I value." ”

"However, after the battle of Xiangyang this time, Pang De has no place to stand in Cao Ying!"

The next moment, Guan Ping's expression changed instantly, he sneered, and then, his gaze stared closely ahead.
