The bright moon shines on the sea, and there are 300 ships floating in the current.

After Zhu Ran led 300 warships north for half a month, Zhuge Liang led an army of 70,000 to Guangling County of Wei, Cao Pi sent Cao Zhen, the general of Wei, as the main commander, Sima Yi as the deputy general to refuse, Sima Yi went to block Zhuge Liang, Cao Zhen laid a defensive line in the coastal cities of Xuzhou, Yandu and Hailing.

Hu Du raised 100,000 troops to attack Luoyang from Chang'an, and Xiahou Yuan defended Luoyang.

Chen Liucheng.

Guo Huai was sent by Cao Pi to resist Cao Zhang's troops, Cao Zhang led 30,000 soldiers and horses to Chenliu, Guo Huai led the army to take the initiative to attack, the two armies fought in front of Chen Liucheng, Cao Zhang's troops were broken by Guo Huai's army, Cao Zhang led the army to escape in a hurry, Guo Huai simply pursued, and then retreated to Chenliu.

Changan.

Ma Liang looked at the letter written to him by Ma Hong, as the capital of Chang'an, the largest city in charge of the four major capital orders of Chu State, Ma Liang was not bound by the fox, and the Chang'an army had 50,000 elite soldiers.

After Hao Zhao took refuge in Ma Hong, he was specially arranged by Ma Hong to Ma Liang to defend the fortress of Chang'an, and now Hao Zhao serves as the defense officer of Chang'an City, and was appointed by Ma Liang as the protector of the capital, and his position is second only to Ma Liang. Ma Liang understands what the meaning of the capital order is, and the reason why Ma Hong set up the capital order, Ma Liang also understands it more or less, that is, Ma Hong is likely to move the capital in the future, so the place that is set as the capital is very likely to become the capital. Nanzheng City in Hanzhong is the place where Ma Hong raised his troops, and it is also the birthplace, but due to topographical reasons, although it is very important, it is unlikely to be the capital, and the setting of the Chengdu Metropolitan Order, it is only Ma Hong in order to control Yizhou, so he let Ma Tan go to the town to guard, as for the Chang'an City in Xiliang, among all the capital cities, this is the most likely place to become the capital. Although Xiangyang is prosperous, it is in the south after all, and since ancient times, most of the imperial capitals have been built in the north, and few have been built in the south.

Therefore, Chang'an City is the most likely to become the capital, Ma Liang understands.

"Hao Zhao, you take my talisman and dispatch 10,000 elite cavalry to assist General Hu Du in attacking Luoyang City."

10,000 fine riders, what a meaning, what a number! Cultivating 10,000 elite cavalry is more than the money spent on cultivating 150,000 infantry, Hao Zhao's body trembled, and he said in a deep voice: "The last general will not disgrace his mission!" ”

Ma Xiu and Ma Tie were dispatched by Ma Hong to lead 20,000 Xiliang cavalry, 30,000 Qiang soldiers and 40,000 infantry to Luoyang Tiger Prison Pass and press towards Xiahou Yuan.

Luoyang.

Hangu Pass, Xiahou Yuan looked at the hundreds of thousands of Chu troops in front of the pass, frowned, earlier I heard that the direction of Yangzhou was very moving, and the courtiers of Wei State thought that the main force of the Chu army was in Yangzhou, but when he saw the army of Hu Du, he realized that the troops used by Chu to attack Luoyang were nearly three times that of Yangzhou.

Hu Du's 100,000 troops, Ma Liang's 10,000 elite cavalry, and Ma Xiu and Ma Tie's 90,000 troops, a total of 200,000, known as 500,000 troops.

"Could it be that the main force of the Chu State is coming to attack my Luoyang?" Xiahou Yuan sighed.

"Father, if the main force of the Chu State comes to attack my Luoyang, at least the general Wei Yan or the hussar general of the Chu State should be the commander, but the current commander is Hu Du." Xiahou Yuan's eldest son, Xiahou Heng, spoke.

"Brother, don't underestimate Fox Du, although this person is young, he is quite capable, and he should not be underestimated." Xiahou Yuan's second son, Xiahou Ba, spoke.

"What the second brother said is extremely true." Xiahou Yuan's fourth son, Xiahou Weidao.

Xiahou Yuan had seven sons, and the arranged lines were Xiahou Heng, Xiahou Ba, Xiahou Cheng, Xiahou Wei, Xiahou Rong, Xiahou Hui, and Xiahou He. His third son, Xiahou, said that he died early, and the other six sons all went to war with Xiahou Yuan. If you want to talk about the generals of the Wei State, whose sons are the most promising, then Xiahou Yuan's sons are definitely the best among the second generation of officials.

Xiahou Yuan's seven sons are all talents, all of them are both civil and military, Cao Cao once said that the sons of wonderful talents are the pillars of the country.

"Father, since the Chu State is coming to fight, if we only passively guard the pass and do not help increase the arrogance of the Chu State, it is better to let the child go out of the pass to challenge the Chu army and suppress the arrogance of the Chu people." Xiahou Ba said to Xiahou Yuan.

"You've read so many military books, do you really think that when two armies fight, they have to rely on the heads-up in front of the battle to decide the victory?" Xiahou Yuan was domineering towards Xiahou.

Xiahou Ba shook his head and said: "Father, I'm not talking about heads-up, you see that the enemy army has arrived on the battlefield one after another, and is constantly reorganizing the formation, if I lead 10,000 troops out of the city to attack it at this moment, I will definitely be able to catch the Chu army off guard." ”

Xiahou Yuan looked at the army in front of the pass, the main force of Hu Du was quite neat and had already been lined up in front of the pass, but it was the Xiliang soldiers and Qiang soldiers led by Xiliang Ma Xiu and Ma Tie, the order was not very good, the formation was chaotic, and the nearly 100,000 troops were very chaotic.

"The Xiliang Army has no military discipline, and it has been away from the battlefield for a long time over the years, and it has become even more scattered." Xiahou Yuan said.

"Father, please let the child fight the momentum of my Wei Kingdom!!"

"What if you get trapped?" Xiahou Yuan asked.

"If the generals are greedy for life and afraid of death, then we will win the war." Xiahou Ba beat his chest with his right hand.

"Haha, okay, it's really worthy of being my Xiahou Yuan's son, who of you is willing to go out of the city with your second brother!"

"Father, the children are willing to go!" Xiahou Yuan's sons said in unison.

"Good, good!" Xiahou Yuan said three good words in a row, and said loudly: "It's really worthy of my Xiahou Yuan's sons, Wei'er, Rong'er, the two of you are high in martial arts, and the two of you will fight with your brother!" ”

"Father, we're going too!" The remaining sons shouted.

Xiahou Yuan shook his head and said, "Hui'er, He'er, the two of you will bring 10,000 horses to meet your three brothers at any time. Heng'er, you and your father are playing the drums for your three younger brothers. ”

"No!

Under Hangu Pass, Hu Du was wearing blood-red armor, he was the first commander of the bloodline army, and then he was always wearing red armor, riding a red horse, he was the first disciple of Ma Hong, from the beginning of his colleagues' objections to it, to now everyone respects him, he is now thirty-four years old, and has been ranked with the famous generals Wei Yan and Gan Ning of Chu.

"General, will Xiahou Yuan really send troops?" Yang Fu on the side said to the fox.

"This is an opportunity for Xiahou Yuan. He now has a 50 percent chance of attacking. ”

"Why fifty percent?"

"Because he will choose to come or not to come."

“。。。。。。”

Yang Fu was speechless for a while at what Hu Du said, but after thinking about it carefully, what Hu Du said did still make some sense, but this Hu Du was bold enough to do things, and he specially did not restrain or control Xiliang's army, so that the Xiliang army arrived slowly and chaotically. It was used to attract Xiahou Yuan to take the initiative to attack him.

Hu Du understands that with Xiahou Yuan, an old fritter on the battlefield, if you let the soldiers pretend to be chaotic to enter the field, you will definitely be able to see through it, it is better not to restrain it, sell the Xiliang soldiers, and use it to attract Xiahou Yuan to take the initiative.
