Chapter 398 Running thousands of miles for his father, planning to earn Xiahou for a hundred days

The above book mentioned that Xiahou Heng and Xiahou Ba accepted the canonization of Emperor Hongwu. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Xiahou Heng was named General Ning Shuo, Xiahou Ba was the counterattack general, and the title was from the fourth general. The guards of the two of them have already been equipped and serve in the Zhang Bao Protectorate.

Zhang Bao handed over the two battalions of guards to the two.

Because saving people is like fighting fire, the two wanted to leave that day.

Zhang Bao's wife, Xiahou, learned that her father was in trouble and wanted to go there.

What the? Lady longing?

Zhang Bao hurriedly stopped his wife and comforted: "Madam, if you go, how can you be embarrassed by your husband?" However, His Majesty has entrusted the important task of guarding the south to his husband, and if he leaves his post without permission, I am afraid that our whole family will be implicated! ”

"But, my father is in trouble, how can you reassure me?" Xiahou asked.

Xiahou Heng and Xiahou Ba said on the side: "Little sister, don't worry. There is military ration in my father's city for a few days, and when the army arrives, we will definitely be able to defeat the Wu army and save my father. ”

Seeing that they all came to persuade themselves, Xiahou had no choice but to give up, handed a package to the two elder brothers, and said, "This is the cotton clothes I made overnight, and I asked my brother to bring it to my father." Today, the situation is clear, and what Uncle Cao did that day has deviated from public opinion. You also need to convince your father not to go all the way to the dark. The Han Dynasty is now thriving under the rule of His Majesty, please think twice about it! ”

It turned out that the Xiahou clan wanted to go to Linhuai to comfort his father. She knew that the old ministers of the Han Dynasty had taken a back seat at her father's age, and she was still killing on the battlefield at her father's age. Whenever she thought of this, her heart felt like a knife.

Xiahou Heng and Xiahou Ba were all aware of these things, and when they heard their sister talk about it, their eyes turned red, and they nodded and said, "Sister, don't worry, we will definitely comfort my father." ”

After speaking, the two turned on their horses and led the troops away.

Xiahou looked at the distant figures of the two elder brothers, their delicate bodies swaying in the wind, and they almost wanted to fall. Zhang Bao hurriedly stepped forward to hug him, and whispered comfortingly: "Madam, don't worry. My father-in-law had this calamity, although he was killed by Lu Meng, but this situation was just a trap set by Jia Wen and Jia Daren. Otherwise, how could there be more than ten days' rations in the city? Since it was a trap set by Lord Jia, the father-in-law was just in danger. ”

"Really?" The Xiahou clan looked at Zhang Bao suspiciously and asked.

"Nature is true!"

……

Besides, Lu Meng led his troops to the outside of Linhuai City, and according to the second mile of the city, he set up a camp.

He and Lu Xun brought two thousand soldiers and horses to the city to see Xiahou Yuan.

Xiahou Yuan got the news that he was already in the city, and when he heard Lu Meng shouting under the city to see him, he came to the city.

"Lu Ziming, you, a faithless child, are untrustworthy! The day before yesterday, he set fire to our warships and ships, so that Lu Xun led troops to capture Linhuai; What do you mean by bringing troops against me today? Xiahou Yuan angrily rebuked Lu Meng.

"Xiahou Miaocai, don't confuse black and white! Thou hast sent men to burn my ships, and thou hast slandered us? Why did you break your covenant by yourselves? Lu Xun countered.

"Old General Xiahou, what you said in the past, you and I both know. Needless to say. I came here today just to know why the old general attacked General Boyan? Lu Meng asked seriously.

Seeing Lu Meng's appearance, Xiahou Yuan was really angry, pointed at Lu Meng and said angrily: "Lu Ziming, you are really not the former Wuxia Ameng!" The scheming is so heavy, I wonder if you brought so many soldiers and horses here, but you just couldn't ask? ”

"This naturally depends on the old general's intentions, and then make a decision!" Lu Meng's face is really thick enough.

Xiahou He had long been tired of seeing Lu Meng's shameless face on the side, so he pointed at Lu Meng and scolded: "Lu Ziming, don't talk nonsense there!" You were going to keep me busy for nothing. It's just that because Lu Xun didn't enter Linhuai City in advance last time, this time you have to bring troops to capture Linhuai! ”

was exposed by others, Lu Meng's face changed, and he said: "Listen to the Xiahou family, it was you who tore up the covenant first. Let's see how we recapture Linhuai! ”

When he had finished speaking, he turned his horse back.

Looking at their distant figures, Xiahou Yuan hurriedly ordered his sons and generals to do a good job of defense.

When Lü Meng returned to the camp, he began to dispatch troops.

He wanted to besiege Xiahou Yuan and trap them to death in Linhuai City.

He thought that in less than three or two days, Xiahou Yuan's soldiers and horses would have a food shortage. Because he thought that Linhuai City was the same as Tuzhong, with all the food and grass left, and no personnel.

He asked Lu Xun to lead troops to the west gate of Linhuai, so that Chen Wu led troops to camp at the north gate of Linhuai, and made the general Xie Jing lead troops to guard the east gate, and surrounded Linhuai with a flood.

He has a reason for this.

In fact, he did not give up his vigilance against the Han Dynasty army, and sent Lu Xun, who was all-round in civil and military affairs, to guard the west gate just in case.

And Xiahou Rong, who was far away in Xuzhou, didn't know that his old father was in danger, and was drinking with the deputy general Xing Yong and his fellow prisoners in Xuzhou City.

Suddenly, I heard a report from Tanmalay that there were Wu soldiers moving near Huai'an.

Xiahou Rong wondered in his heart, so he asked, "Is there any news of the old general?" ”

"The old general has captured Linhuai and is resting in Linhuai City. It is said that the defenders of Linhuai retreated without a fight, and the old general occupied Linhuai without any injuries! "Exploring the horse.

What the? The Han army retreated without a fight. Big joke!

"What? You repeat? When Xiahou Rong heard this, he almost didn't believe his ears, stood up and asked.

"The Han army in Linhuai retreated without a fight, and our army occupied Linhuai without being injured!" Tanma didn't know why he was so shocked, so he had to say it again.

Confirming that this was really the case, Xiahou Rong still didn't believe it, and muttered to himself: "When did the Han army become so cowardly? Retreat without a fight! If something goes wrong, there must be a demon! There must be something weird in it! ”

Xiahou Rong, the fifth son of Xiahou Yuan, has been quite intelligent since childhood, and is the most strategic of Xiahou Yuan's sons, quite like his father. In the past, Cao Ang said to Xiahou Yuan: "Uncle has the right to be a child, and he can get a lot of help when he marches and fights in the future!" ”

Xing Yong asked on the side, "Did the general find something wrong?" ”

Xiahou Rong hesitated, so he just shook his head and did not answer, so he continued to drink with the two.

Besides, the brothers Xiahou Heng and Xiahou Ba took two thousand cavalry, running for thousands of miles day and night, and the two sets of war horses alternated, which can be said to be anxious and tired!

When I arrived at Shouchun, it was already the tenth day of Xiahou Yuan's siege.

On the day they set off, it was the second day that Xiahou Yuan had just been besieged. In other words, they spent eight days, eating and sleeping in the open, day and night, and traveled thousands of miles.

Guan Suo welcomed the two into the city.

Xiahou Heng and Xiahou Ba are bent on saving their father, where do they have any thoughts to rest in the city, but they are not easy to refuse.

Guan Suo saw it in his eyes, and secretly calculated in his heart: the two of them put on the clothes and armor of the fourth-grade generals, and it seems that the prime minister's design this time is still very successful. The next thing is how to defeat Lu Meng's army and convince the old general Xiahou Yuan!

He brought people up to tea and said, "It's hard enough for the two of you to run all the way, why don't you take a rest first!" ”

Before he finished speaking, Xiahou Ba stood up with a "pout" and said, "General Guan, you and my brother-in-law are also brothers, how can you look at my father and not save me?" ”

Guan Suo smiled slightly and said, "What Ji Quan said is wrong. My uncle is in prison, how can I not know? A certain knew that Lu Ziming did not dare to attack the city, so he prepared a full meal for his uncle in the city for half a month's salary. Wouldn't it be better to leave the opportunity to rescue your uncle to the two of you? ”

Xiahou Heng hurriedly stood up, saluted Guan Suo, and said, "Thank you General Guan for your great kindness." I know that everything you do is out of care for my Xiahou family. However, the old father suffered in Linhuai, and my brother was willing to enjoy it here. I also hope that the general will send rescue troops as soon as possible. ”

Seeing the eager expressions of the two, Guan Suo stood up, took out a tiger talisman, and said, "Two virtuous brothers, this tiger talisman is a certificate for our army's troop transfer. The two of you went to Chengde, where there were more than 20,000 soldiers, waiting for you. ”

Hearing this, Xiahou Heng hurriedly took it over, and both knelt down with Xiahou Ba to thank him.

Guan Suo hurriedly picked up the two of them and said, "This move is for my big man, and it is also for the reunion of your Xiahou family." Please tell your uncle that it doesn't matter if you return or not! If the uncle will return to Xuzhou, be careful of Sima Yi's house! ”

"Thank you, General!" Xiahou Heng and the others thanked Guan Suo and left.

After being trapped for ten days, Xiahou Yuan said to the generals: "How much food and salary is there in the city? ”

Xiahou Huiyan said: "Back to my father, there are still about ten days of food. ”

"Is there any news in Xuzhou?"

"Not yet?"

"Tell to go down, watch for the enemy's laxities, and be ready to break through at any time."

Xiahou Yuan: There is no way to do this. After all, the soldiers of Wu in Guangling would definitely not let Xiahou Rong come to save him easily.

In the city of Xuzhou, the tenth wave of exploration horses sent by Xiahou Rong came back to report that Linhuai City was besieged by Wu soldiers, and the old general was trapped in the city.

Xiahou Rong then left his convicts and 10,000 soldiers and horses to guard Xuzhou, and led an army of 30,000 with Xing Yong to Hongze Lake.

However, as soon as they arrived at the lake, they were stopped by the Eastern Wu generals Pu Yangxing, Mei Yi, He Qi and the strategist Zhang Dun to lead the army, and fought for a while, but were blocked from advancing.

Half a day later, Xiahou Heng and Xiahou Ba came to Chengde County with their cavalry, and before entering the city, they saw more than 20,000 soldiers and horses outside the city standing neatly.

The leader saw them from afar, and with several generals, he raised his blades in unison and shouted, "Welcome General Xiahou!" ”

"Welcome General Xiahou!"

The more than 20,000 soldiers and horses shouted in unison, which was deafening......

When he came to the front, Xiahou Heng hugged his fists and saluted the general: "In Xiaxia, Hou Heng, dare to ask the general, but is it Deng Qiang and Deng Zigang?" ”

"Huh! It is Deng Qiang! Deng Qiang smiled.

Xiahou Heng then introduced Xiahou Ba to everyone.

Deng Qiang introduced everyone to the Xiahou brothers again.

Seeing that it was still early, Xiahou Ba wanted to enter the army.

"There's no rush yet." Xiahou Heng stopped Xiahou Ba and asked Deng Qiang, "General Zigang, dare to ask how far Chengde Dao is from Linhuai?" ”

"More than half a day!" Deng Qiang replied.

After listening to this, Xiahou Heng was thoughtful. Suddenly, he raised his head and said, "General Zigang, if you want to arrive in Linhuai early tomorrow morning, please also ask the general to arrange for the soldiers to rest early." ”
