It is said that since Pound followed Ma Teng to raise the army, he has been conscientious and hardworking. In addition to Ma Chao, his brave martial arts are not counted, and he is the first person under the Xiliang tent. During the early peace period, Pang De attacked the rebellious Qiang, Di and other foreign tribes from Ma Teng, and several of them had military exploits, and later moved to the school captain. Immediately afterwards, Ma Teng received He Chen's order and began to garrison the land of Qinchuan, including the later capture of Chang'an, from Chencang to the west into Shuchuan and other battles, and has always been the best choice for the vanguard of Zhengyin. Whether it was in the face of the princes of Guanzhong, he took the lead in the soldiers, beheaded Li Xun and other thief generals, or when attacking Wudu, he went into battle shirtless and inspired the three armies, Pang De deserved to be the first fierce general in Xiliang. It's just that this person is fierce, his surname is as fierce as fire, and sometimes he does things completely with blood. Including Ma Chao is also like this, probably because of the reason that he grew up in the Northwest Rong tribe, so he created such a surname.

Now he followed Ma Teng out of the White Emperor City from Ba County and went south to the Yangtze River, and he was even more ambitious and wanted to make another achievement. It's just that he didn't expect that the Jiangdong elite navy gave him a head start in the first battle, and told him with bloody facts that this is not in the great northwest, nor on the back of a galloping horse, the soldiers are fierce in land combat, and the fighting ability of horses and horses cannot be displayed at all.

Pound led hundreds of warships, from Wulin to escort supplies to Shiyang, but was blocked by Zhou Yu's navy, after the Northwest Qiang soldiers got on the warship, they were all dizzy, and the combat effectiveness could not play the usual tenths and twelve, under the command of Zhou Yu, Huang Gai and Cheng Pu, two fierce generals, led nearly 100 warships to quickly take over the melee combat, if it wasn't for Cai Mao's timely response to the team, but this battle Pang De was removed from the water from then on.

Wulin Dazhai.

He Chen sat on the handsome seat, with several henchmen on the left and right, and in the middle of the handsome camp, Pang De was suddenly tied up by five flowers. At this time, he looked extremely embarrassed, his armor and helmet had already been lost, his hair was scattered, his beard was full of flesh, his face was stained with blood, and the armor on his body was still intact, but his arms were stained red again, and he was obviously wounded. With this appearance, where is the demeanor of the first fierce general of Xiliang?

At this time, Pound's face was full of shame, this northwest man, did not refute his defeat, and waited for the military order to deal with it.

Ma Teng, who was standing next to Pang De, said a little anxiously: "General, although Pang De lost his spirit in the first battle and lost a lot of materials, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers. ”

Of course He Chen will not kill Pang De, this is a fierce future, and he is extremely familiar with the geographical environment of the northwest, and he will use troops against foreign races in the Western Regions in the future, and a pioneer general like Pang De is indispensable. It's just that this person is Ma Teng's confidant, loyal, and he has to beat and beat no matter what, otherwise in his heart, he will always be the old horse waiting for one, and the general second. The best way is to strip him from Ma Teng's subordinates, and then send him to a suitable place, where he can brainwash him night and night, and finally achieve his goal of changing the court and being loyal to himself.

And Ma Teng, now holding the soldiers of Xiliang and Shuchuan, it is difficult to ensure that he will support the troops in the future, and he has different aspirations. Moving the capital to Chang'an by himself is the first step in reducing his military power. Next, Ma Teng will definitely be transferred to the center, give him a high-ranking official, and then let people take over the territory of Yongzhou, Liangzhou, including Yizhou, and use Ma Teng to honestly hand over the military power, He Chen guarantees that he will not only be in a high position in this life, but also the title of descendant for generations. But if this guy has different intentions and has any out-of-the-ordinary ideas, then I'm sorry, don't blame Uncle He for crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, unloading the mill and killing the donkey. Of course, He Chen will definitely not ask for Ma Teng's life, but compared with Liu Biao's end, it will not be much better. At least I still like Ma Chao, Ma Dai, including Ma Yunlu and other junjies.

"Shoucheng, General Ben has repeatedly ordered that such a thing will happen. You must know that our army is tired of the expedition, and it is difficult to guarantee morale, and it is not easy to mobilize their positive surnames, but let Pound squander in a war, plus our army's sailors are not satisfied with many diseases, and now their morale is sluggish, and there are many complaints, you say that if you don't take Pound to boost military discipline, how can you convince the public? ”

"This ......," Ma Teng said, looking embarrassed.

"The lord doesn't need to say much, Pang De knows that the military law decrees, no matter how the general punishes, he deserves it." Pound was stiff, and shouted with a thick neck.

He Chen laughed secretly in his heart, and pretended to say to Ma Teng: "But since Shoucheng has already spoken, how can General Ben sell you face." In this way, Pound's capital crime can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped. Hit the 20th board, fined him for half a year, demoted the official by one level, and ordered him to supervise the transportation of grain and grass in the rear. If the matter is done well, after Sun Jian is resolved, not only will the official be reinstated, but the general will also be reused. What do you think? ”

Ma Teng breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that He Chen's two goods would harden his heart and directly push Pang De out and cut it down. Now suffering a little bit of flesh and skin, as long as you do your best, it will be a matter of time before you recover. Only then did Ma Teng put his mind down, nodded and said, "But it's up to the general to decide." ”

"Pound, what do you mean?" The cold expression on He Chen's face dissipated, and he said with a faint smile.

Where does Pound have any dissenting intentions, in his opinion, it is already General He's extrajudicial grace to be able to save his surname, as for the heavy beating of the 20th board, it is not a drizzle for himself with thick skin and rough flesh? After two days of rest in bed, still not lively and jumping? He hurriedly shouted in a continuous voice: "General Xie is not killed." ”

Soon four sturdy tiger guards came in, originally wanting to suppress Pang De, but in order to show the meaning of ruthless people in military law, He Chen did not let the soldiers be rough, but let Pang De go out by himself, saving him enough face. Although this trick didn't have a big effect, at least it made Pang De secretly grateful to He Chen in his heart.

After this was over, He Chen turned to Ma Teng and said: "Although our army has gathered 500,000 horses and set up a position in the Wulin area, it is just that most of the soldiers are foot soldiers and do not practice water warfare. Our army is fighting quickly, and if it goes on for a long time, I am afraid that it will not be conducive to the war. I don't know what Shoucheng's plan is? ”

Although Ma Teng is rough and rough, his mind is also delicate. Otherwise, how could he lead the tiger and wolf armies of Yong and Liangzhou? He laughed twice, then spread his hands, piled up on his rough face, and said happily: "Who in the world doesn't know Guo Jiashan's tricks, Jia Xu has many tricks, Xun You, Xun Yu, Tian Feng, and Fu Zhu are not resourceful, the general asked Xia Guan this, it should be the wrong person, right?"

He Chen secretly scolded the old fox in his heart, and Ma Teng pushed the matter cleanly with a word, so that he couldn't catch the handle at all. However, General He didn't want to forget it like this, and said with a smile on his face: "Shoucheng, what are these words?" One person is short and two are long, General Ben doesn't believe that you don't have any ideas in your heart? ”

He Chen is so entangled in things, the main point is that he is still worried that Ma Teng will be loyal to the Han family and exchange news with Liu Xie, although he has surrounded the palace tightly, but who dares to guarantee that there will be any secret edicts and blood books circulating? Besides, according to the description of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, this guy is very loyal to the Han family.

Ma Teng saw He Chen talking about this, and he could only reluctantly speak: "There are one or two ideas, but I'm afraid I won't be able to enter the eyes of the great general if I say it." ”

"Oh? If you have any ideas, Shou Cheng just has to say it, and it doesn't hurt to refer to it. ”

Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Ma Teng could only clear his throat and began to continue: "The advantage of our army is in foot combat, and Sun Jian's advantage is precisely in water warfare. The subordinates thought about it, in addition to training the navy, whether there was a way to let the soldiers walk on the boat as if they were walking on the ground? ”

Why is this so familiar? He Chen pondered in his heart, but continued on his lips: "Then what way did Shou Cheng think of?" ”

Ma Teng was obviously also hooked by He Chen to talk about his surname, and he was full of interest, and his eyes lit up and said: "In the big river, the tide rises and falls, the water is impermanent, and the wind and waves are endless; However, most of our troops were northern soldiers, and they were not accustomed to fighting by boat for a while, and in the tossing and turning of the boat, they not only lost their combat strength, but also were prone to disease. If the general's big ship and small boat are coordinated and matched, or thirty for a row, or fifty for a row, the end is interlocked with iron rings, and then a large board is laid on it, gathering the strength of dozens of boats, not to mention that people are as stable as Mount Tai on it, even horses can walk. Dozens of warships spread out together, let it be high in the wind and waves, and I will wait for it to be on the ground? ”

Damn, no wonder this is so familiar, it turned out to be a copy of Pang Tong's serial scheme? He Chen's heart jumped violently, but the expression on his face remained the same, but his head was running rapidly, did Ma Teng come up with this method himself, or was someone behind him supporting it? If he came up with it himself, it would be nothing, but if someone was offering advice behind his back, then the matter would not be so simple, could it be that there is still Huang Gai's bitter meat plan, Zhuge Liang borrowing the east wind? That's fucking bullshit, isn't it? He Chen couldn't laugh or cry.

Ma Teng saw that General He's eyes were wandering and he was silent for a long time, obviously thinking about this problem, and couldn't help but ask: "I don't know what the general thinks of this method?" ”

He Chen woke up from his contemplation, but the strange expression on his face made Ma Teng a little confused, and he was puzzled: "Why does the general look at his subordinates like this?" ”

At this time, He Chen took a deep breath and said slowly: "This method was come up by Shoucheng himself?" ”

Ma Teng didn't know what He Chen meant by asking this, but his Northwest native Shuangli surname said at a glance: "It is exactly what his subordinates came up with when they were idle for these two days." What's wrong, is there something wrong with it? ”

"Haha, no, no. Shou Cheng is a great plan. If our army can break Sun Jian and Liu Bei, it will be your first merit. He Chen was like a spring breeze, and his smile was palpable.

Bullshit, Lao Tzu is now a general of the chariot cavalry, count me as the first merit, do you give up the position of the general? Ma Teng secretly despised He Chen in his heart.
