Zhang Xiu's prediction was not wrong, he once again witnessed the occurrence of historical events, although in terms of time this was a year earlier, but this did not prevent the combination of other factors to stage this laughable forced marriage incident.

Zhang Xiu's immediate decision was not wrong, Xiahou Juan's maids and servants rushed to Xiahou Yuan's military camp to report the news as soon as possible, but Xiahou Yuan, who had always regarded this precious niece as his own, immediately put down all military affairs, and ordered his relatives to order hundreds of fine horsemen while personally investigating the scene. quickly determined the direction of Zhang Xiu and Zhang Fei's evacuation, that is, he led the elite cavalry to speed up the horse and chase after him.

Fortunately, Zhang Xiu, Zhang Fei and others only wore close-fitting soft armor on this trip, and the mounts under the crotch were all good horses, and there was no heavy armor and vest to drag them down, although they carried two more girls weighing less than 100 catties, it did not affect the speed of the horse.

Xiahou Yuan is the best general in Cao's camp, and he also has a lightly armed elite cavalry. This time, he chased along the trajectory for more than ten miles and still couldn't see anyone, but Xiahou Yuan had a hint of ominous premonition in his heart, so he dismounted again to investigate the horseshoe prints left by Zhang Xiu, Zhang Fei and others on the road, and looked at them for a long time, and finally could only roar a few times with grief and anger, and he was unwilling but had to lead the troops back to the camp.

……

Six days later, the Huainan Army and the Xuzhou Army approached Xiaopei.

The original county of Pei County was in Xiang County, not in this Pei County. However, since the end of the Han Dynasty, because of the rampant yellow turbans and the princes' contention, Pei County has risen significantly because of its geographical location and strategic significance, and has become the focus of competition for all parties and a place for troops to hoard grain. But because of the shallow small pond of the city itself, it is also known as Xiaopei.

There are no less than 40,000 troops stationed in Xiaopei City, and the city is easy to attack and difficult to defend, so Xiahou Yuan has many troops outside the city. In the face of the attack of the Liu and Zhang coalition forces, Xiahou Yuan simply set up a camp on the left and right sides of the city, and personally led more than 10,000 elite soldiers, set up a battle under the city, and took the initiative to invite the Liu and Zhang coalition forces.

Xiahou Yuan's move was unexpected by Zhang Xiu and others, but it was reasonable. The reason why it was unexpected was because in this battle, Liu and Zhang's coalition army played the banner of Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu's joint expedition, and the number of soldiers and horses declared to the outside world was 100,000. However, Xiahou Yuan's troops have few major generals, so the best strategy should be to defend the city rather than fight hard in the field.

But why is it reasonable to say that Xiahou Yuan invited Liu and Zhang to join forces? This must be attributed to Zhang Fei's abduction of Xiahou Juan a few days ago, and the root cause is the irreplaceable significance of Xiahou Juan's niece to Xiahou Yuan.

Turning over the history of the Xiahou clan, its ancestor was Xiahou Ying, the founding father of the Western Han Dynasty, which was extremely prominent. But that was the Western Han Dynasty, more than 300 years have passed since now, and at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the noble family of the former Western Han Dynasty has long been in decline. If it weren't for the fact that there were other families with a lot of origins, the Xiahou clan, which didn't have many literary talents, would have died out long ago.

Xiahou Yuan's generation, but the Xiahou clan was once mixed to the point of not having enough to eat. After the death of his brother, Xiahou Yuan resolutely gave up raising his young son who had just been born for a long time, and freed up his food and milk to support his deceased brother's only daughter, that is, Xiahou Juan.

Until Cao Cao rose up, the Xiahou clan relied on the bravery and courage of the Xiahou Yuan brothers and finally regained their glory. And Xiahou Juan has also been around Xiahou Yuan. Xiahou Yuan, who is full of sons under his knees, treats Xiahou Juan as his own, and Xiahou Yuan's sons also treat Xiahou Juan as his own sister. Xiahou Juan, who grew up in this environment, developed a supple, sensible and hard-working character at a very young age.

At this point, presumably Xiahou Juan's position in Xiahou Yuan's heart is needless to say, so for the sake of this daughter of his deceased brother who is like his own daughter, it is not difficult to understand that Xiahou Yuan rebelled against the common sense of the army and took the initiative to invite Liu Zhang to join forces under the city. After all, when Xiahou Juan was kidnapped at that time, there were several maids and maids present, and some of these people described the appearance of the raiders, and Xiahou Yuan guessed and guessed who this black-faced bearded man was.

But then again, Xiahou Yuan led the army to battle was extremely beneficial to Liu Zhang's coalition army. After all, compared with storming the city, attacking in the field is more conducive to the loss of Cao's army's strength. So when he received the war letter, Zhang Xiu immediately agreed, sent away the envoy of Cao Jun, and immediately arranged for the battle.

Xiahou Yuan's intention to lead the army to battle was naturally not only for his niece, but in fact, he was able to entrust Cao Cao with the important task of the southeast, and Xiahou Yuan was already a good general with a certain overall strategic vision. In the face of Liu Zhang's "100,000" coalition army, Xiahou Yuan must test the truth regardless of victory or defeat.

However, Zhang Xiu's side is not afraid of Xiahou Yuan's temptation, although the 80,000 troops brought this time are 20,000 horses away from the so-called 100,000 army, but this difference is not very large, and it is easy to use some blinding methods to cover up the past. In addition, in this world, who fights a war without falsely reporting the scale of soldiers and horses and bluffing? Anyway, you don't need money, you can do things with your mouth, why not?

As for Uncle Liu Huang, who is not in the army, this point is the key to the overall situation, and it must not be discovered by Xiahou Yuan. But before sending troops, Zhang Xiu had already made a plan: divide the soldiers and horses into two parts, Zhang Xiu commanded the front, and "Liu Bei" commanded the rear. In this way, Zhang Xiu, who was in the first march, showed up first, and asked Zhang San to show his hands again, so that Xiahou Yuan was eighty percent of the letter.

In addition, when the real war started, Liu Beijun also prepared a stand-in that looked quite similar to Liu Bei himself, and when the time came, let this fake Liu Bei sit in the middle of the military uniform and transfer troops to dispatch generals, anyway, the distance is far away Xiahou Yuan can't tell the real from the fake. Moreover, Liu Bei was not good at charging into battle, and there was Zhang Xiu, the spear king of the north, who was in the front, and if Liu Bei had been in charge of the Chinese army, it would not arouse suspicion.

So this time, Zhang Xiu ordered the fierce general Tai Shici and Zhang Fei to lead 20,000 front soldiers and horses to fight. Another 20,000 soldiers and horses were left behind under the command of General Lu Mian to stay in the camp.

Sure enough, as soon as the battle formation of the two armies was arranged, Xiahou Yuan over there led several Cao Junxiao generals straight towards Zhang Xiujun, and Zhang Fei's name was Zhang Fei's name: "Zhang Yide, you husband get out of this general, kidnapping people's children in broad daylight, it is really shameless and despicable!" ”

Zhang Fei is a type of explosion at all, but this time our Zhang Yide was scolded so bad that he didn't have a temper, not only did he not go out of town to start the battle cry mode, but he rode up with a shy face and a smile, and said to Xiahou Yuan with a laugh: "Lord Yue, don't come to harm, the little daughter of the Ru family and I Zhang Yide are in love, this is a great joy." The eldest brother of my family has already said it himself, if you agree to this family business, my Zhang family will marry your Xiahou family in the future! ”

Burst! Xiahou Yuan almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood. What bullshit, you and my Juan Er have seen it before. What else is good about Qin and Jin, Zhang Fei, you don't pee and take pictures of your background, my Xiahou family was born in a noble and famous family, maybe it can be worthy of the weight of the four words "Qin and Jin", you are a landlord and a rich man who was born to kill pigs, and you can also be worthy of the words that can only be used by the prince and emperor?

Wait, what did this black-faced guy call me? Father-in-law? Father-in-law? Who is your father-in-law, you are your father-in-law, your whole family is my father-in-law, bah bah! You black-faced thief is shameless, I, Xiahou Yuan, have been in the Central Plains for several years, but it is the first time I have seen such a brazen person!

Liu Bei did not come with the army, and Zhang Fei said that Liu Bei's main marriage was naturally to bluff Xiahou Yuan, the purpose was to test Xiahou Yuan's attitude towards this family matter. By the way, Liu Bei was put on to add a preconceived impression to Xiahou Yuan.

After all, from the perspective of etiquette, Xiahou Juan, who died of his father, as Xiahou Yuan's daughter, should be called Xiahou Yuan, who raised Xiahou Juan, as his father-in-law. If you Xiahou Yuan agrees to this matter, then I, Zhang Fei, will be polite when I see you Xiahou Yuan in the future, and give you enough face, even if you kill him, he will not be killed. But if you Xiahou Miaocai don't recognize this family business, then it doesn't matter, anyway, Xiahou Juan's people are here with me, I can do whatever I want, anyway, you can't get me when it comes to fighting soldiers, you just have to be so angry that you can't kneel to the sky.

Having said that, although Zhang Fei is a rough man through and through, he is by no means the thickness of a string, but the color of the thick and the fine. It is precisely this characteristic that makes Liu Bei lower his responsibilities to Zhang San as always.

After more than half a sentence, Xiahou Yuan shouted angrily, but he directly shot at Zhang Fei. Several Cao generals behind him also stepped forward to fight.

Zhang Xiu was afraid that Zhang Fei would not dare to let go of Xiahou Yuan and suffer a loss
