After Bai Xiaowen received Zhao Rong's report, he smiled and said, "It's good that Pound didn't forget his old master. But since he said that, he's already half-loyal. "
Immediately, Bai Xiaowen ordered his troops to attack Wuhuan.
After Pound received the brocade robe and sword, he was even more motivated to die for his friends. He brandished his long saber in the military formation and killed the enemy generals. He was unstoppable.
After studying the mountain river geographical map, Bai Xiaowen ordered Yan Rou to lead an army to the back of the Wu Huan army using the left and right flanking tactic.
After Wuhuan was defeated, they were ambushed by Yan Rou and suffered a great loss.
The leader, Jiedun Chanyu, sent people to ask for peace, saying that he was willing to return this year's annual reward. He asked the Duke Of Yan and Da Sima to let him go on account of the friendship between the two families.
Bai Xiaowen didn't agree to peace. He destroyed the letter and led the army to chase after them.
That night, the moonlight was dim. A strange wind suddenly blew on the ground.
Bai Xiaowen, who was looking at the map in the tent, was surprised. He put away the geographical map and asked with a smile, "That strange wind just now seemed a bit strange. Why don't you calculate it? "
Ge Xuan, who was in the tent, immediately calculated and said, "The wind blows the commander's flag, leading the enemy to raid the camp."
From the geographical map, Bai Xiaowen had already noticed that the red dots represented by Jiedun and Prince Xian of the Left were rushing toward the camp.
"This Jiedun is quite smart. He knew to send messengers to ask for peace and made me let my guard down. Then he raided the camp in the middle of the night." Bai Xiaowen commented.
Ge Xuan also said, "I thought the Hu people were uncivilized. I didn't expect them to be so smart. They're an anomaly."
Bai Xiaowen then ordered the generals to gather in the tent and ordered them to do so.
Jiedun Chanyu and Prince Xian of the Left led their warriors into Bai Xiaowen's tent. But they didn't find anything. The camp was very quiet. There were only carriages and supplies, but no soldiers.
Ku Dun cursed inwardly. Soon after, he heard the sound of drums and battle cries coming from all directions. The morale of the Wuhuan Tribe plummeted. They lost their will to fight and fled in all directions.
After Bai Xiaowen's two teams of ambushers killed the Wuhuan's army, another two teams of soldiers were waiting for the escaping Prince Xian of the Left to capture him.
Relying on the speed of his horse, he was lucky enough to escape. However, he could not return to his home because Bai Xiaowen had ordered Yan Rou to lead a team of light cavalry and rush to Wuhuan's camp. They would charge and kill everything in their way and burn Wuhuan's camp to the ground.
This battle had completely scattered Wu Huan's vitality.
Although they had escaped, the Wuhuan Tribe would not be able to recover without at least ten years of recuperation.
Yan Rou returned to the camp with a large amount of gold and silver, cattle, sheep, and horses.
Bai Xiaowen ordered the slaughter of cattle and sheep to be rewarded to the three armies; he especially rewarded Pound handsomely. He first gave Pound the title of Huaiyi General, but Pound did not accept it. Bai Xiaowen did not force him and gave him a thousand pieces of silk as a reward.
As for Yan Rou, his performance in this battle was also commendable. His special skill, Enemy of the Alien Race, was indeed a great weapon to conquer the Wuhuan Tribe. After two crucial battles, he was able to enter the battle with high morale, which was another key factor in their victory.
Bai Xiaowen gave Yan Rou the title of Wuhuan Lieutenant to lead the Youzhou military affairs.
"Wuhuan Commandant" was an official title, so it couldn't be equated to an ordinary commandant. For example, Zhong Yao was in charge of Sizhou, and his official title was Si Li Lieutenant, which was the same as the Provincial Governor.
Now that the north was settled, Bai Xiaowen returned to Yedu.
On the other side, Zhang He also sent back news of victory. They defeated the Xianbei Tribe and took back Yanmen Prefecture and the other Bing Province Prefecture.
Originally, Shangdou, Yamcha, and other small areas were under the control of Gao Gan in Bingzhou. But now, it can be said that their territory has expanded a lot.
Needless to say, Bai Xiaowen gave out another round of rewards.
Unfortunately, Zhang He did not level up as Bai Xiaowen had expected after winning the battle on his own.
Bai Xiaowen guessed that it was because the Hu people were too weak and could not help Zhang He gain experience. He still needed to fight the famous generals of the mid plains to have a chance of levelling up.
After returning to Yedu, Pound went to the Chenglie General's Manor to meet his old master, Ma Chao.
Ma Chao also learned that Bai Xiaowen was trying to win Pound over, so he could not help but feel a little angry.
Seeing Pang De wearing a brocade robe and carrying a famous sword, Ma Chao could not help but mock, "You really shone brightly during the northern expedition. No wonder Duke Yan values you so much."
Pound was shocked. He took off his robe and knelt down. He took off his sword and raised it above his head, "It is not that I don't want to listen to young general's orders. However, the Duke Of Yan did not bring a general who is used to fighting. If I don't do anything, I don't know how long it will take to pacify Wuhuan. I think that the sooner we pacify Wuhuan, the sooner the Duke Of Yan can borrow troops to help young general conquer Hanzhong. I hope young general can understand this. "
Ma Chao took the sword, pulled it out, and put it away. He snorted, "Everyone has their own ambitions. If you want to join someone else, I won't stop you! "He waved his hand and threw the sword down.
Pound watched Ma Chao's back as he left. His anger rose and rushed to his head. He blacked out and fainted on the ground.
… …
Pound was really sick.
Although people from the spiritual realm had better physiques than ordinary people, they would still fall sick when they needed to.
Bai Xiaowen personally came to inspect and summoned the famous doctor, Fan A, to treat Pound.
Fan A reported that Pound's illness was due to the consolidation of depression. It would be difficult to recover quickly and he would need to rest for at least a month.
Bai Xiaowen knew that Pound had fallen sick in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but he did not expect him to fall sick now.
However, now was a good time to buy people's hearts. Bai Xiaowen personally took the decoction that Fan A brewed and gave it to Pound.
Pound, who was eight feet tall, was moved to tears. "How can this general be treated so well by the Duke Of Yan?"
Bai Xiaowen smiled. "It's easy to get three armies, but difficult to find a general. I'm partly responsible for your illness. If I didn't take you to conquer Wuhuan, you wouldn't have fallen ill. Lingming, if you have any requests, you can tell me. I'll try my best to fulfill them. "
After a moment of silence, Pound said, "I hope the Duke Of Yan can lend troops to young general as soon as possible to help him conquer Hanzhong and find out if Liu Bei was the one who killed the old general."
Bai Xiaowen nodded and said, "Of course. Not only will I lend troops to Meng Qi, but I'll also personally lead the troops to support him from behind and help him succeed! What do you think? "
Pound struggled to get off the bed and knelt down. "Duke Of Yan's kindness is something that Pound cannot repay even if I die ten thousand times."
Ma Chao was right outside the door. He heard their conversation clearly.
Hearing Pound's request, Ma Chao could not help but feel a little regretful.
After Bai Xiaowen left, Ma Chao went to visit Pound. Unexpectedly, Pound's attitude towards Ma Chao was much calmer. "Young general, once we capture Zhang Lu and find out that the person who murdered the old general has nothing to do with the Duke Of Yan, I will return to the Duke Of Yan's command and will no longer die for the Ma family."
