Come to think of it, it seems like this.

Therefore, after Xia Houlan arrived at Fengyi Mountain, she asked around for talents.

Xia Houlan's days of following Liu Chuang were not short, and she unconsciously became more contaminated with Liu Chuang's preferences, and began to pay attention to recruiting capable people.

It's just that the xenophobic plot in Liangzhou is very serious, and Xiahoulan is not Liu Chuang, and he has the name of the emperor's uncle of the Han Dynasty, so there has been no progress for a long time.

Later, Zhang both heard about it and recommended two people to him.

One is named Hu Zun, a native of Linjing, who is not very old, both civil and military; The other is called Fu Yun, but his origin is not small. This person's father is named Fu Rui, and he was originally the Taishou of Daijun. After Gongsun Chan killed Liu Yu, Fu Rui was also implicated and was killed by Gongsun Chan.

This Fu family is a northland wang family.

Fu Yun's cousin's name is Fu Xun, and now he lives in Jingzhou, and Liu Biao treats him like a guest.

If someone else comes forward, Fu Yun may not agree. But Zhang is the Taishou of the Northland, and when Zhao Yun swept the Northland before, Zhang tried his best to protect the Fu family, and also made Fu Yun grateful. Zhang told Fu Yun that Xiahou Lan was an important minister under the emperor's uncle, and he was also a general of Yuan Cong...... His father-in-law is Huang Zhong, and Weng's son-in-law is one of the top ten generals of Uncle Liu, and now he leads an army alone. If you go to vote for Uncle Liu Huang now, you may not be able to get Uncle Liu's attention. But if there is Xia Houlan's recommendation, it will not be difficult to find a place in the General's Mansion in the future.

What's more, Xia Houlan has a good temperament and can be polite and virtuous.

If he is willing to help you, it will save you a lot of trouble......

When Fu Yun heard this, he readily agreed.

One of these two people is good at internal affairs, and the other is good at military training.

Xia Houlan also attaches great importance to these two people. Bai Fu Yun is the chief bookkeeper in the army. Hu Zun is a young general in front of the account.

But. Even with the help of these two people, Xia Houlan still felt that there was not enough manpower...... He lacked someone to advise him.

The arrival of Pang Yu just filled this vacancy.

After he had a long talk with Pang Yu, Pang Yu not only talked about the method of governing the army, but also pointed out many defects in Wudangqi, which made Xiahoulan suddenly realize.

At the moment, he worships Pang Yu for a long time and is in the army.

Now I listen to Pang Yu say this. Xia Houlan couldn't help but be stunned.

He was surprised: "Why does Ziyi think so? ”

Pang Yu said with a smile: "I asked the scouts just now, but I heard that although Cao Jun arrived in Wating, there was no Zhaizha on the road...... I don't know how the commander of the Cao army thinks, and he actually led the army to the mountain. So I said that it is not difficult to go to Wating, but it still needs to be confirmed. ”

Xia Houlan was also stunned when she heard this.

After a while, he said: "Could it be that the commander of the Cao army has something wrong, and the Tunjun Mountain is not in a desperate situation?"

That's right. can be inquired, who is the vanguard officer of the Cao Army? Such. Please Ziyi is working hard, I will make Zi Jing accompany him, and go to Wating to confirm. ”

Zijing, not Lu Su Lu Zijing, but Hu Zun Hu Zijing.

Pang Yu immediately led Hu Zun out of the camp and went straight to Wating.

By the time we arrived at the tile pavilion, it was getting late.

After the first snowfall, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce...... After Pang Yu arrived at the bottom of the mountain, he circled around the mountain and immediately understood the defense of this tile pavilion.

Xiahou Nan also heard the news on the mountain and couldn't help laughing.

"It's a shame that they are clever not to come and siege the mountain, otherwise he will not come back."

Immediately, he ordered again: "If the Xiliang soldiers rushed to come, they saw the red flag on the top of the mountain, so they went down from all sides and beat them one by one. ”

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

After Pang Yu Hu Zun found out the situation, he immediately rushed back to the camp.

"The vanguard officer of the Cao Army is named Xiahou Nan, and he is the second son of Xiahou Xuan.

He led his troops to camp on the mountain, but ten miles away from Shandong, there is a small village on the road, which is said to be set up by Cao Zhen, the son of Cao Cao. ”

Xiahou Mao?

Haven't heard of it!

However, Xia Houlan knew about Xia Hou Xuan, so she shook her head and sighed.

"Xiahou Yuanrang I's fame, and today it will be ruined by the hands of Xiao'er."

When he went to Xudu with Liu Chuang, he once met the three brothers Xiahoudun Xiahoulian and Xiahouen.

At that time, Xiahou Lian was very affectionate to him, and also asked about Xiahoulan's origin.

In these years, there are not many surnames of Xiahou, and since Xiahou Lan has also reverted to his surname Xiahou, he must not have anything to do with Xiahou. Not to mention, there is really some connection between this Xiahou Lan and the Xiahou clan. It is said to be a group that moved out of Qian County in the early years. However, if you talk about blood, I'm afraid it's out of the five suits. At that time, Xiahou Lian also said that he wanted Xiahou Lan to return to his ancestors and recognize his ancestors, but in the end, because he fled from Xu Capital with Liu Chuang, he was over. But this affection, Xia Houlan kept it in mind. Therefore, when I heard about Xiahou Nan's identity, I couldn't help but feel stuck.

As for that Cao Zhen, Xiahou Lan didn't dare to take it lightly.

Liu Chuang had seen Cao Zhen, so after the Battle of Jizhou, he summoned all the soldiers and horses to tell Cao Zhen to everyone.

An opponent who can make Liu Chuang pay so much attention, Xia Houlan will definitely not despise it...... He stood up and wandered around the tent for a moment.

"Early tomorrow morning, I will besiege Cao's army on the mountain.

However, it is still necessary to guard against Cao Zhen's sneak attack...... Zijing led 3,000 soldiers and horses to block the road, but it was never Cao Zhen who arrived at the foot of the mountain. ”

"Whoa!"

Hu Zun bowed down to receive the order.

Pang Shu said: "If the general wants to get rid of Xiahou Nan, there is no need to mobilize the army.

I have a plan, but I can completely defeat Xiahou Nan without much effort. ”

Xia Houlan hurriedly said: "Please also ask Ziyi for advice." ”

Pang Yu whispered a few words in Xia Houlan's ear, Xia Houlan squinted and nodded again and again.

After Pang Yu finished speaking, Xiahou Lan showed excitement, "Zi Yi's strategy is wonderful, I will act according to the plan tomorrow, and see that Xiahou Nan Xiao'er still dares to be arrogant." ”

Early the next morning, Xiahou Lan arrived at Wating.

He ordered the army to surround Wating Mountain, and then ordered Pang Shu to cut off the way to draw water from the mountain.

When Xiahou Nan learned the news on the mountain, he was immediately excited.

In his opinion, fame is in the present day, and when the other party attacks, he will give the order to attack.

However, the Han army did not immediately attack.

Xiahou Nan could see clearly on the mountain, and saw that the Han army had set up catapults in front of the battle, as many as two or three hundred, large and small......

What's to be done?

I dwell on high ground. You want to attack me with a stone cart. It's a bit difficult.

Just when he was puzzled. Suddenly, I heard the rumbling war drums from the large array of the Han army under the mountain.

Immediately after, the stone cart creaked, and the Han army waved its flag in front of the large array, and balls of fireballs with billowing black smoke flew towards the mountain.

Disheveled!

After a series of sounds, the canister of fire oil contained in the fireball fell to the ground and shattered.

When the oil meets the fire, it burns quickly.

The trees on the mountain burned even more when they were caught in the fire, and the fire was raging in an instant......

Fire attack?

Xiahou Nan was shocked. hurriedly ordered to stabilize his position.

However, after the fire broke out on the mountain, the way to draw water was cut off by the Han army, and the Cao army immediately panicked.

The catapults at the bottom of the mountain continued to fire, and balls of fireball rose into the air and landed on the mountain, making the fire even more intense......

"Charge, charge down!"

Seeing this, Xiahou Mao hurriedly commanded Cao's army to charge down the mountain.

It's just that the Han army has long been ready for battle, and Cao Jun will not be given any chance at all. As soon as he saw Cao Jun rushing over, he immediately fired ten thousand arrows. Cao soldiers rushed to the bottom of the mountain. He was hit by a rain of arrows in the fire. Some of them were even more stained with fire oil, and suddenly turned into fire men, screaming miserably.

Cao Zhen also sensed that Xiahou Nan's situation was not good at the bottom of the mountain.

Although he didn't like Xiahou Nan, he couldn't see death without saving him in this situation.

So, he ordered the soldiers and horses to come to the rescue, but he knew that he was stopped by the Xiliang soldiers and horses led by Hu Zun on the way and killed them fiercely.

Cao Zhen's strength is not comparable to Hu Zun.

And Hu Zun is even more firmly on the defensive, using only arrows......

Cao Zhen's several attacks were repelled by the Han army, and more than 100 corpses were left on the mountain road.

Seeing this situation, Cao Zhen was also anxious...... But he had no soldiers in his hands, and it was very difficult for him to charge on this narrow mountain road. Hu Zun commanded the Han army, stabilized his position, and slowly advanced. After holding out for about half an hour, Cao Zhen saw that the general trend had gone, so he had to take three or four hundred remnants of the defeated army and retreat from the Wating Mountain Road. As soon as he retreated with his front foot, Hu Zun's back foot occupied Cao's military camp.

Previously, when Cao Zhen went to the village, he fully considered the topography.

It's just that he didn't expect that a camp that he had worked so hard to build would make a wedding dress for the Han army in vain.

After Hu Zun occupied Cao's military camp, he was not greedy for merit. He ordered his soldiers to defend the village, and quickly sent someone to inform Xiahoulan.

After Xia Houlan learned that Cao Zhen had retreated, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Shizong, you immediately inform Ziyi, and let him lead people to the camp to garrison.

I'll leave it to me...... Let's look at that Xiahou Nan, what other means are there. ”

At this time, Xiahou Nan on the mountain was already messed up, and he didn't know what to do.

The Cao army on the mountain was already in a mess and running in all directions. The fire grew larger and wider, and gradually spread to the top of the mountain...... Seeing this, Xiahou Nan couldn't help but feel full of regret in his heart. Regret should not stop Zidan's strategy, if he is in power, this Xiliang soldier will not be so easy.

"General, you can't stay here for a long time, you should break through as much as possible."

Two Cao generals stepped forward and persuaded Xiahou Nan to break through.

Xiahou Nan also knew that in this case, whatever momentum was just a joke.

He couldn't understand why the result was like this, he was obviously acting according to the art of war? He thought about it, then gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Pass my order, everyone break through." ”

So saying, he mounted his horse with his spear and rushed down the mountain with his men.

The fire was so strong that it could not be extinguished.

Xiahou Nan rushed over from the fire along the way, and the flames that came to his face burned his robe, and the whole person looked particularly wolf.

Finally reached the bottom of the mountain, and the Han army had stopped archery.

Xiahou Lan led three thousand Wudang cavalry arrays, and when he saw Cao Jun rushing towards him, he raised the silver spear in his hand and shouted: "Wudang, attack!" ”

Three thousand heavy armored cavalry, like a black torrent, thought of Cao Jun rushing away.

Xiahou Lan took the lead, and the silver gun in his hand shook, "Xiahou Nan, where are you going!" ”

The two Cao generals stepped forward to stop them, but they were shot by Xiahou Lan and stabbed off their horses. Xia Houlan's marksmanship is in the same vein as Zhao Yun...... In the past, he didn't learn all the marksmanship, so he was not very powerful. But since he reunited with Zhao Yun, he has been cultivating hard.
