Chapter 131: Xiahou Shang

The fifteen-mile distance is nothing, and after agreeing with Pang Lin, Tian Xin galloped to Ye County.

Nearly half of the wheat fields around Yexian County have been harvested, and it is necessary to have troops and equipment to prevent the surprise attack of the Wei army on the other side, so there are only about 3,000 people involved in the wheat harvest.

Tian Xin, Ma Chao, Guan Ping, and Zhang Bao sat in front of the map, and Ma Chao picked up a chopstick and placed it between Yexian and Tian Xin's military camps: "Filial piety, the follow-up Yongdao will be simplified and repaired, and only one side will be repaired, which can prevent the Wei army from riding lightly." ”

In this way, the construction period can be accelerated, and the project can be completed in two days.

Ma Chao lightly pointed at the location of Tian Xin's camp: "If Cao Xiu leads the army of Runan to cross the river to attack, the camp of filial piety must be strong. ”

Tianxin camp was built in the middle of Jingyu Chi Road, fifteen miles away from Ye County in the northwest, ten miles away from the tributaries of Lishui in the north, and ten miles away from Lishui in the east.

The tributaries of the Lishui River flow to the east, and the Lishui River flows to the northeast, confluence at a distance of thirty-five miles northeast of Tianxin Daying.

The width of the battlefield is limited, and there are strong corridors on your side, so the situation is not bad.

Everyone is a person who wants to save face, and it is a bit embarrassing to withdraw troops easily, and if you don't fight, you will not be reconciled.

Even if the harvested grain in Yexian County is lost, it can be lost, and the battle must be fought.

Otherwise, what is Ma Chaoshou doing in Ye County?

But when will the Wei army choose to cross the river?

Lishui and its tributaries are in the dry season at this time, and they don't even need pontoons, so they can flow through them at will.

Kunyang and the rear Jiaxian, renamed Longpi around the Mopo is urgently harvesting wheat, rumors that there is a yellow dragon flying out of the Mopi well, so Cao Pi set the year name as Huang Chu; And Liu Bei still regards this year as the twenty-fifth year of Jian'an, and implements a new Zhangwu era name next year.

Fighting against Ma Chao, the Wei army was also worried that Ma Chao would lead the army to copy and set fire to the farmland.

Now the golden farmland, a fire is enough to set the prairie on fire.

Xiahou Shang was still in the Kunyang area to guard against the Han army's possible arson, and he led dozens of horsemen around the north bank of the Lishui tributary to see Yexian and Tianxin's camp at close range.

Coincidentally, after Tian Xin left Yexian, he also went around the tributary of Lishui to observe the surrounding terrain, and the two sides were separated by a small river that was exhausted, the water was wide and wide, and the depth could only submerge the horseshoe.

Both sides are dressed as ordinary cavalrymen, one side is dressed in yellow clothes, and the face is gray after being contaminated with dust; The other party is dressed in crimson clothes, and the dust covers his face, which is also gray.

It's just that the red horse that Xiahou Shang is riding is nearly six feet high at the shoulder, which is very conspicuous; And Tian Xin's seat under the Li Ma Mengduo is seven feet two inches tall and muscular, which provokes Xiahou Shang's heart to be hot, and he looks back and forth at Tian Xin, who is carrying a spear.

Not only him, but his left and right military officials and personal soldiers are all red-eyed, and a BMW is worth a thousand gold.

In order to compete for a divine horse, the Xianbei and Wuhuan tribes can often break out wars with tens of thousands of horsemen.

A divine steed, a fertile horse, is a cash cow and a sign of the strength of a tribe.

Xiahou Shang forcibly held back again, and asked in a loud voice: "Is the person who came from Hugu Tinghou?" ”

Tian Xin stroked Mondo's mane, and seemed to see the red horse opposite, Mondo became arrogant, after all, it was an uncastrated stallion, and it was the season of midsummer, when the water and grass were abundant.

Looking up at the enemy general with two thick beards, he saw that there were two horsemen behind this person, holding Fang Tian's halberd in his hand, Tian Xin couldn't help but smile: "It's Tian, who are you?" ”

"A certain Great Wei general Xiahou Ba Ye, I have heard the prestige of Hugu Pavilion for a long time, and I can't see it. I see you today, and I want to make friends with the prince. ”

Xiahou Shang said and jumped off the horse, raised his hand and waved back, and the left and right riders hesitated slightly, and dismounted and retreated, leaving only Xiahou Shang standing by the river with a sword.

Tian Xin rode across the river alone, jumped off the horse, and saw that Xiahou Shang was solemn, his eyes were blazing, and he looked majestic and resolute, and he couldn't help but guess the appearance of Zhang Fei's two daughters, after all, Zhang Bao was not bad.

Retracting his thoughts, Tian Xin smiled and said: "I once heard Lu Ziming say that there is a strong general in Jiangdong Ding Feng Ding Chengyuan is no less than me, so I gave a name thorn at that time and asked Lu Ziming to transfer it to Ding Chengyuan. However, in the blink of an eye, Jiangdong betrayed the alliance, and I never met Ding Chengyuan. I don't know how martial arts are now, but my courage is very much beyond the reach of people. ”

Saying that, Tian Xin took out a famous thorn carved by acacia wood from his waist and handed it out: "If the general wants to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, he can take this thing to find Tian." ”

Xiahou Shang solemnly caught it, looked down at the regular script on it, and bowed his head slightly: "The calligraphy attainments of the prince are not under the court lieutenant Zhong Yuanchang, and he can set an example for the south." ”

Tian Xin just smiled, and listened to Xiahou Shang say: "I heard that the Qinglu Sword left by Emperor Wu was transferred to the Marquis by Zhao Zilong's hand? This sword is very important to a family, both in public and private. If the prince is willing to give up, he is willing to redeem with his brothers in the clan. ”

As we all know, the Bai Hong Sword is a off-hand weapon, and the Qingyu Sword is also an off-hand weapon.

Tian Xin sent people to use copper to create a pair of thick sword boxes, the sword box hung horizontally behind the waist, in addition to the Qingyu sword and the white rainbow sword, there were also four seventy-two refining battle swords.

Hearing this, Tian Xin turned his hand and took out the Qingyu Sword from the sword box behind his waist, held it in his hand and tasted it carefully: "This Zilong General congratulated me on the gift of my marriage, Hugh said that the gold will not be changed." But since the foot is sincere and sincere, it is better to be like this, the foot and I face the sword, and I can resist the Qingyu sword and continue, you and I will change the sword. ”

A Qingyu sword that has been strengthened twice, and a sword of the same quality that has not been strengthened is not a loss.

Besides, there are such divine soldiers in the north?

Even if there is...... He has a talent for strong attacks, even if the quality of the two swords is the same, the other party can't stop it.

If you really block it, you still earn it yourself.

Xiahou Shang wrapped the name thorn into the leather bag around his waist, took two steps back, and slowly pulled out his sword: "One of the three swords cast by His Majesty, named Hua Collar, is given to my brother Xiahou Boren." The sword was four feet two inches long and weighed one pound and fifteen taels. ”

Seeing the sword drawn, Xiahou Shang's rider approached again, more than 20 steps apart, nervously concerned.

Tian Xin didn't say a word, and slashed horizontally with his backhand, and with a flash of sword light, he pushed the Qingyu sword back into the copper sword box with a built-in tension spring.

Xiahou Shang barely saw Tian Xin's sword swinging action clearly, and then with a sonorous sound, the Chinese collar sword in his hand was split into two, and the blade of the sword fell into the mud and sand on one side.

He stared at the broken sword speechlessly, pursed his lips, and his face was not very good-looking.

also understood him, Tian Xin said: "Our army wants to collect the summer wheat in Yexian County and retreat to Duyang, I expect the Wei army to gather 70,000 or 80,000 people here, waiting for the military situation in Jingzhou." ”

"If Your Majesty personally conquers Sun Quan, the Wei army will attack me."

"If this is the case, General Xiahou can go back and inform Brother You, saying that our army's eastward expedition is difficult to hinder, and it is inevitable. Please don't hesitate, and if you want to fight, send troops quickly. At the confluence of the waters, he can camp on his own, and I will not intrude. ”

Xiahou Shang put the broken sword into the sheath, his face was still gloomy, and he arched his hand: "What does the prince mean?" ”

"There is nothing else to do, it's just a scorching summer heat, and a long-term confrontation is not beneficial to each other. If you don't decide the outcome of the battle early, you can return to your hometown to reunite with your relatives and friends. When the grain is sufficient next year, we will fight again. ”

Tian Xin raised his head as he spoke, the sun was scorching, and his eyes were squinting: "The scorching summer heat kills people invisibly, and I want to retreat back to Duyang before June." ”

Seeing that Xiahou was still silent, Tian Xin turned over his horse and led more than ten horsemen to the south, where he could already see the outline of his camp.

"Brother?"

The real Xiahou Ba came up, he reached out and picked up the broken blade two steps away, and frowned: "The Qingyu Sword is so sharp? ”

He thought of the Heavenly Sword that was cast at the same time, checked the archives to find out the craftsmen who forged the sword at that time, and re-studied the sword-casting skills at that time, hoping to have a new harvest.

Xiahou Shang breathed a sigh of relief, and his voice was hoarse: "I thought this person recognized me......"

If he is taken away by Tian Xin, it will be enough to do a bad thing at this critical time.
