In 2 19, Pound helped Cao Ren resist Guan Yu. When the two armies confront each other, they often gallop and fight on white horses. Once, an arrow hit Guan Yu's forehead and was called General White Horse. When the Hanshui River flooded, Pound led his generals to fight Guan Yu to the death, and all the arrows were shot out, fighting hand to hand. However, Pound became more and more angry during the battle. Soon after the battle, the ship was overturned by the flood and captured by Guan. Guan Yu respected Pound's fortitude and forbearance and advised him to surrender, but Pound glared at Guan Yu and finally died heroically.
Brave and good at fighting.
As a teenager, Pound was a county official and a state official. In the first year of Ping Dynasty, Pound attacked Qiang, Di and other foreigners from Marten and moved to be a captain.
In 202 AD, Cao Cao begged Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang to stay in Liyang, and Yuan Shang sent Guoyuan and Gao Qian to take Hedong slightly, so Cao Cao asked Zhong You to lead a crusade against Guanzhong generals. Pound and Ma Teng's son Ma Chao fought Guoyuan and Gao Qian in Pingyang, and Pound took the lead in attacking Guoyuan and Gao Qian, winning a great victory and even beheading Guoyuan. According to Wei Lue, Pound personally beheaded a man's head, but I don't know if this is the national source. After the war, everyone pointed out that Guoyuan was dead and could not win the first place. However, Pound only took out a head at the bow after evening. Because Guoyuan is Zhong You's nephew, Zhong You cried when he saw his head. Pound made amends to Zhong You. Zhongyou said that he is my nephew, but he is still a traitor. Why did Qing make amends? Because of this achievement, Pound was worshipped as a corps commander and made Hou Ting its capital. Later, Zhang Baiqi rebelled and promoted agriculture, and Pound went out with Marten to defeat the rebels in the East and West. In every battle, Pound often fell into a trap but defeated the enemy, heroically defeating Marten's army. Later, Marten served as the guard, and Pound stayed under Ma Chao.
Wander around
In 2 12 AD, Cao Cao defeated Ma Chao and Han Sui in Weinan, and Pound fled to Hanyang with Ma Chao to protect Ji Cheng.
In 2 14, Pound went to Hanzhong with Ma Chao and was attached to Zhang Lu.
In 2 15 AD, Cao Cao pacified Hanzhong, and Pound surrendered to Cao Cao with others. Cao Cao had long heard that Pound was brave and good at fighting, worshipped him as a general, and made him 300 buildings.
Order to scold the enemy
In 2 19 AD, Hou Yin and Kai Wei rebelled in Wancheng. Pound led the troops to attack, surrounded Wancheng with Coss, cut the switch between Hou Yin and Wei, and then stationed in Fancheng to beg Guan Yu. Fancheng's generals thought that Pound's brother Pang Rou was in Hanzhong, and they had doubts about Pound. Pound often said: I owe my country, and my righteousness is death. I want to beat Guan Yu myself. If I don't kill him this year, he will kill me. Later, Pound hit Guan Yu, and an arrow hit Guan Yu in the forehead. At that time, Pound often rode a white horse, and Guan was called General White Horse, so he was very afraid of him.
Coss asked Pound to camp ten miles north of Fancheng. It just rained for more than ten days. The Han River flooded, and the groundwater under Fancheng was five or six feet deep. Pound and people avoided the water embankment. At this time, Guan Yu attacked Pang Dejun by boat and shot arrows at the levee with the boat on all sides. Pound's bow was held by armor, and the arrow was not empty. General Dong Heng and Bu Qu tried to surrender to Guan Yu, but they were all beheaded by Pound. Pound fought from Pingdan until noon, and Guan Yu's offensive became more and more urgent, and the arrow was not empty. The two sides fought hand to hand. Pound said to Commander He Cheng: I heard that good generals are not afraid of death, they will drag out an ignoble existence, and martyrs will not ruin their lives. Today is the day when I die. So I was angry with the fierce fighting and my spirit became stronger. But the flood was so fierce that all the officials in Wei Jun surrendered. Pound and his general Wu Bo returned to Coss' camp by boat with bows and arrows. But the flood was so fierce that the ship was destroyed and people were killed, and the bow and arrow were lost. Pound was caught by Guan Yu when he was alone in the boat, and was taken back to Guan Yu's camp without kneeling.
Die a glorious death
Guan Yu said: Your brother is now in Hanzhong, and I really want to use you as a general. Why didn't you surrender earlier? Pound cursed Guan Yu and said, what do you mean, vertical axis and surrender! Wang Wei led millions of soldiers and shocked the world. You, Liu Bei, are just a mediocre man. How can you defeat Wang Wei? I'd rather be conquered people than a thief. As a result, Pound was killed by Guan Yu. Cao Cao was very sad when he heard about it, and wept bitterly for it, and named his second son Liehou.
In 22 1 a.d., Cao Pi succeeded to the throne and sent messengers to see posthumous title off at Pound Mausoleum. Cao Pi wrote a letter saying: Once upon a time, Xian Zhen died for his country, and the young king died of hunger strike, and the older generation praised them. Pound was brave and resolute, and made a name for himself when he made a big disaster. People praised him at that time, and his sense of justice was very noble at that time. I miss him and give him posthumous title, who is a strong man. Then give the son Pang Hui and other four people the title of Shanhaiguan, each with 100 households.
In 243 AD, General Ezra Pound was enshrined in the temple of Wei Taizu.
