Right Fufeng, Wangxian.

Xiahou Yuan punched in the courtyard, his body was slightly hot, and at the same time, he was slightly wheezing.

The years are unforgiving, and he has passed the age of blood and strength, even if Xiahou Yuan is unwilling to accept old age, he has to admit that his body is not as good as before. After years of fighting on the battlefield, he left many scars on his body. It may not be obvious when he was young, but as he grew older, Xiahou Yuan must also admit that his body and energy were much inferior to those during the Battle of Guandu, and he aged very quickly.

"Miaocai, Qixian battle report."

Xiahou Yuan punched, and when he was about to rest, he saw a person coming from outside, walking in a hurry.

This person's name is Xia Houen, the word Ziyi, and he is the younger brother of Xia Houdun.

After the Battle of Guanzhong last year, Cao Cao took Xiahoudun away, but left Xiahouen on the right to support the wind and served as Xiahouyuan's deputy.

Seeing that it was Xia Houen, Xia Houyuan's face also showed a smile.

He was very satisfied with this cousin.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there is also a Xia Houen, who is Cao Cao's sword-bearer and wears a Qingyu sword. In the romance, it is said that Cao Cao had two swords, the Heavenly Sword was powerful, and the Qingyu Sword was specially used to kill people. In other words, Xia Houen is equivalent to Cao Cao's super thug.

However, in the battle of Changbanpo, Xia Houen was killed by Zhao Yun, and the Qingyu Sword was also taken away by Zhao Yun.

This Xiahouen is not the Xiahouen in the romance, but a general specially sent by Cao Cao to help Xiahou Yuan.

"Ziyi, how is the situation in Qi County?"

Xia Houen smiled bitterly, "Liu Chuang's soldiers are in the tiger prison, which also boosts the morale of the Xiliang army.

Previously. That Xu Shu has always adhered to the bluestone shore. But since Liu Chuang attacked the Tiger Prison. The Xiliang army turned from defense to offense, aggressive.

Although Zidan is good at fighting, Xiahou Lan and Wei Yan of the Xiliang Army are both fierce generals in the world, and he is difficult to support alone...... A few days ago, Zidan lost Linjing, and the day before yesterday, he was attacked by Wei Yan and Yang Wei in Yinpan, and he was defeated and left. Fortunately, Zixiao arrived in time and rescued Zidan and retreated to Qi County. Now. The Xiliang Army took Xiahoulan as the vanguard and Yang Wei as the deputy general, commanding 8,000 soldiers in Linqi County. Xu Shu also commanded an army of 30,000 to arrive in Yinpan, and he will arrive in Qi County in a few days...... This time, Zixiao's pressure is not small, and I am also a little worried. ”

Yes, the situation in Guanzhong is indeed not good!

Liu Chuang called for wind and rain in the Tiger Prison Pass, and Xu Shu in Liangzhou immediately responded.

It seems that Xu Shu was worried that the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong would go to the Tiger Prison to help in the battle, so he attacked frantically regardless of the cost. put pressure on Guanzhong, wanting to drag Cao Ren's soldiers and horses. I have to say. Xu Shu's move is indeed powerful, this is an upright conspiracy, even if Cao Ren knows Xu Shu's thoughts, he has to deal with it. Otherwise, if the Xiliang army invades Guanzhong, the entire Jingzhao will be in turmoil.

Thinking of this, Xiahou Yuan couldn't help but sigh secretly.

When Liu Chuang went to Xudu, Xiahou Yuan also built a yì Cao Cao and killed Liu Chuang.

It's a pity that later, due to various factors, Cao Cao couldn't start, and finally escaped from Xudu by that kid...... Who would have thought that in just four or five years, Liu Chuang would develop so rapidly. He saw the gap in the battle of Yuan Cao and the rapid development, so that he had today's achievements.

Xiahou Yuan may not look down on Liu Chuang, but he has to admit that Liu Chuang's eyes are indeed very vicious.

He dared to attack Youzhou when Yuan Shao had the upper hand, and expanded rapidly while Yuan Cao's battle was raging, which was really admirable.

"That Zixiao, what are your orders?"

"Zixiao sent a message to us to defend Wangxian County and be careful of the sneak attack of the Xiliang Army."

Xiahou Yuan listened and nodded slightly.

"Send someone back to Zixiao, just say that there is no change in the Xiliang Army in Longxian County, please don't worry about this."

"Okay, then I'll send someone back."

Xia Houen said, and then spoke again: "But there is news from Fanxukou, saying that there is a Xiliang army over there...... I'm going to go early tomorrow morning to investigate. ”

"Fanxukou is infested with the Xiliang Army?"

"Well, it's just a small group of soldiers and horses, I think it's a scout of the Xiliang Army...... However, their actions were quite frequent, which also made the people in Yangcheng panic. I will go tomorrow with 3,000 soldiers and horses to investigate, and if there is no reason, I will come back immediately, and Miaocai will not have to worry. ”

Xiahou Yuan thought about it, then nodded and said, "Since this is the case, how careful you should be." ”

Fanxukou, known as Shenyu Hui Township in later generations, is located in the southeast of Huating County, at the intersection of Huating, Longxian and Chongxin counties.

It was named because it was located in the valley of the Heihe River, and was later falsely rumored to be 'Shenyu'.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, this Sukou was the entrance and exit of the ancient Silk Road 'Huizhong Road' and the military important place 'Fansu Road', so it had the name of Fansukou.

In fact, since the beginning of the year, there have been scouts of the Xiliang Army in Fanxukou.

Although the two sides have stopped fighting, the inquiry between them has not stopped. The Han army sent scouts to haunt Fanxukou, while the Cao army also sent scouts to haunt Qin Ting. This was originally a very normal phenomenon, but in today's situation, neither Xiahou Yuan nor Xia Houen dared to take it lightly. Therefore, Xiahou Yuan did not reject Xiahouen's decision to go to Fanxukou, but strongly agreed with it.

Early the next morning, Xia Houen led his troops to Fanxukou.

Xiahou Yuan stayed in Wangxian County, and after inspecting the city's defenses, he returned to the government.

The entire strength of the Western Liang Army was concentrated in Qi County, which also caused the pressure on Huang County to drop sharply. Especially when Zhao Yun went out to conquer Wudu, there was only one Huang Zhong left in Qin Ting. That Huang Zhong was older than Xiahou Yuan, so Xiahou Yuan didn't care too much.

Xu Shu supervised Qi County, and Zhao Yunyuan was in Wudu.

And Zhong Miao is sitting in Longxi and is busy pacifying the Liangzhou scholars, so the threat is not very big.

Xiahou Yuan wanted to go to Qi County to participate in the war, and he hoped to have a confrontation with Xu Shu...... With Xu Shu's seizure of Liangzhou, he gradually became famous. Especially at the beginning of the year, Liu Chuang personally handled the marriage for Xu Shu, and invited Zheng Xuan to preside over Xu Shu, which made Xu Shu famous. Of course, Xu Shu married Cai Wenji, which also surprised many people...... After all, Cai Wenji is the daughter of Cai Yong, and she is also known as a talented woman in Shilin. Xu Shu can make Cai Wenji return to his heart, and he is not an idle person. It also makes many people curious.

If you want to become famous in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The easiest way. It is to be recognized by Shilin.

It is precisely because of Cai Yong's relationship that although Xu Shu was born in a poor family, he was not rejected by Shilin, so he quickly created a reputation.

Since Xiahou Yuan was stationed in Guanzhong, he has also admired Xu Shu for a long time.

It's a pity that the two have never had the opportunity to go head-to-head, which also makes Xiahou Yuan feel regretful.

This time, Xu Shu chose Qixian as the attack point, and Xiahou Yuan could understand it. After all. Although Cao Zhen is quite talented, after all, he is young and inexperienced. If it were Xiahou Yuan, maybe he would also concentrate on attacking Cao Zhen in order to seek a breakthrough through Guanzhong.

However, Cao Ren participated in the war, and I am afraid that Xu Shu will not be able to deal with it......

It was night, and Xiahou Yuan went to bed early.

But just as he woke up from a dream, he was awakened by a rapid knock on the door.

Xiahou Yuan suddenly felt unhappy in his heart, and asked in a deep voice: "What's the matter!" ”

"General. Big things are not good. ”

Xiahou Yuan was stunned and hurriedly put on his clothes. Open the door.

But I saw a few pro-soldiers waiting outside the door, and they were also supporting a man covered in blood and bruises, the man was dressed as a Cao army scout, and when he saw Xiahou Yuan, he said loudly: "General, the big thing is not good...... General Xiahou him, he was ambushed at Fanxukou. ”

"Huh?"

Xiahou Yuan didn't react at once, but he quickly figured out that the 'General Xiahou' in the scout's mouth did not refer to him, but to Xiahouen.

Xia Houen was ambushed at Fanxukou?

Xiahou Yuan was shocked, and hurriedly said: "What is going on, you tell me slowly." ”

"Returning to the general, General Xiahou arrived at Fanxukou in the afternoon, and got the news that there were traces of the Xiliang army's soldiers and horses near Shenyu. Therefore, General Xiahou hurriedly led people to check, but after arriving at Shenyu, he was besieged by the Xiliang Army.

General Xiahou led his troops to fight desperately and was trapped at the mouth of the Heihe Valley.

The last general broke through in the name of General Xiahou and came to report to the general......"

Shenyu is also another name for Fanxukou. It's just that in later generations, due to false rumors, Shenyu became Shenyu, that is, the Shenyu Hui Township in later generations. Xiahou Yuan also came to his senses completely at this time, and when he heard that Xiahouen was trapped at the mouth of the Black River Valley, he couldn't help but feel anxious.

However, he did not immediately send troops, but asked, "Do you know, who is in command of the Xiliang Army?" ”

"I didn't pay attention to it in a hurry, but I only saw a big silk with a 'yellow' character on it......"

Huang Zhong!

Xiahou Yuan was furious, "How dare an old soldier be so bold and commit crimes against me?" ”

Not to mention that the relationship between Xiahou Yuan and Xiahouen is quite close, even if Xiahouen is not surrounded, Xiahou Yuan also wants to teach Huang Zhong a lesson. He immediately gave the order and dispatched his troops. Around the time of the ugly hour, 3,000 soldiers and horses had been prepared, Xiahou Yuan put on his armor, carried his sword on his horse, and took 3,000 soldiers and horses out of the city overnight, rushing to Fanxukou to rescue Xiahouen. If Xia Houen had an accident in Fanxukou, how could he explain to Xia Houdun in the future? You must know that when Xiahoudun left Guanzhong, he repeatedly asked Xiahouyuan to take care of Xiahouen.

Xiahoudun has two brothers, one Xiahou Lian and one Xiahouen.

Now, Xiahou Lian is fighting with the Han army in Liyang, if something happens to Xiahouen, Xiahou Yuan is really difficult to explain......

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

In this way, Xiahou Yuan led his troops to Fanxukou in a hurry, and it can be said that they were non-stop along the way.

Under his urging, Cao Jun continued to speed up his march, and when the sky was dark, he arrived at Fanxukou.

From a distance, the flames of Fansukou were blazing...... The shouts of killing continued in the direction of the Heihe Valley, and there was a strong smell of blood in the air.

Xiahou Yuan didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly led people to the Heihe River Valley.

I saw that the Heihe valley was in flames, and the two soldiers and horses were fighting to the death in the night, under the light of the fire. Cao's army was trapped at the mouth of the Heihe Valley, and several charges were never allowed to break through. The Xiliang army was surrounded layer by layer, and one by one it was even more brave......

"Ziyi, don't panic, I'll save you!"

Seeing this situation, Xiahou Yuan could no longer bear it, so he led his troops to cover up from behind the Xiliang army.

The Xiliang army also didn't expect that the reinforcements of the Cao army would arrive so quickly, and they were caught off guard and immediately scattered and fled. Xiahou Yuan fought a bloody way and joined forces with Xiahouen. However, without waiting for his brother to talk, he heard three loud noises, echoing over the Black River Valley.

In an instant, the mountains were all over the field, and the fire was blazing.

A team of Xiliang troops rushed towards Cao Jun from Xiang, led by a general with silver helmets and silver armor, claws under his crotch and yellow claws, and a sterling silver mask on his face.

The Han general twisted his horse and gun, and shouted loudly: "Xiahou Yuan, Changshan Zhao Zilong, has been waiting here for a long time!" (To be continued......)
