"I don't mean to stop you, I'm just giving you a suggestion, whether you listen or not." Zhang Han still said coldly, without any expression on his face. "If you don't listen, don't say I didn't tell you if you failed."

"I want to hear about it." Xia Cheng spoke with the style of a general.

"Actually, I'm not saying you're all wrong, just that it's not necessarily what you say." Zhang Han didn't care about our gaze and continued: "Indeed, Huang Zhong beheaded Xiahou Yuan in the Battle of Dingjun Mountain, and Zhao Yun beheaded Xiahou Yuan when he rode the Savior alone on Changban Slope, so when we were arranging our troops, using Huang Zhong to fight Xiahou Yuan, and Zhao Yun to fight Xia Houen, we should have won, but you don't forget, why we obviously sent Huang Zhong to fight Xiahou Yuan at the most critical time when we were defending the second time, but it was still a draw. If we don't figure this out, and start the town guard three times, I'm afraid we still won't be able to pass the test. ”

Zhang Han still had a cold expression when he spoke, as if the whole world had nothing to do with him, but through his words, I at least knew that although he hadn't said a word in the previous two guards, his thinking was not the same as his expression, but he kept analyzing the situation on the field and looking for opportunities.

"You have a point. In fact, I also have confusion in this regard, obviously in the second time of the defense, it should be Huang Zhong who won, but in the end it was still a tie, so people had to return to the force value of the two sides. Although we found another clue this time, I really can't be sure if it's really what we thought, but now I really don't have any other solution than this one. Xia Cheng looked confused. It's true that since this test, he's made a lot of difficult decisions for all of us, and he's probably under a lot of pressure right now.

"Do you have any good suggestions?" I changed my mind and handed the problem to Zhang Han, hoping to hear what he thought

"Actually, we still forgot about two people." When Zhang Han spoke, he glanced at Liu Bei.

"You mean Liu Bei and Xiahoudun?" Zhao Yuyu asked rhetorically.

"That's right, although I don't know what Zhang Xinran said about Ouyang Yu, judging from these two puzzles (the mystery of the 'electric wall' and the battle of the three generals), his design must have been well thought out. So I think Liu Bei and Xiahoudun should not be decorations, and there are other places that we didn't think of. Zhang Han's tone of voice did not change.

"Liu Bei and Xiahoudun?" I whispered Zhang Han's question.

After thinking about it for a moment, something suddenly occurred to me, and I was about to say it.

"[Note 1/2] The Battle of Bowangpo !!" Lin Yun still said it before me.

"The Battle of Bowangpo?" This is undoubtedly another unheard word for Li Ruina.

"In the seventh year of Jian'an, I think it should be 202 AD," Lin Yun counted the time with his fingers: "Liu Biao sent Liu Bei to attack north and reach Ye County. Xiahoudun was ordered to resist, the two sides confronted each other in Bowangpo, Liu Bei burned his own camp and retreated, Xiahoudun did not listen to Li Dian's advice, and Yu Ban pursued Liu Bei, leaving Li Dian behind. In the end, Xiahoudun was defeated by Liu Bei, but fortunately Li Dian came to the rescue, and Liu Bei retreated. ”

"Yes, I remembered, it was the Battle of Bowangpo, Liu Bei defeated Xiahoudun." Cui Li's words seem to be a bit of an afterthought.

I started thinking about it, everything was connected. I felt the door of the passage behind me open to us.

Xia Cheng wrote again on top of the previous one.

Battle of Dingjun Mountain: Huang Zhong defeats Xiahou Yuan.

Battle of Changbanpo: Zhao Yun defeats Xiahou Yuan.

Battle of Bowangpo: Liu Bei defeats Xiahoudun.

The handwriting on the paper is legible, as if our thoughts are gradually becoming clearer.

"In other words, as long as we play according to this matchup rule, we should be able to solve this mystery." Lin Yun concluded based on what was on the paper.

"From this point of view, the reason why we didn't succeed in the second defense was because we didn't send Liu Bei to fight against Xiahoudun but sent Zhao Yun instead, so we didn't pass the test. Mr. Ouyang Yu is really unfathomable. Zhang Xinran couldn't help but praise Mr. Ouyang Yu again.

"So that means we're going to succeed this time?" Cui Li asked.

"Of course, since we already know the rules of this test, as long as we follow the rules, we will definitely pass." Zhao Yuyu had a confident smile on his face.

After paddling on the enigmatic river for a long time, I finally saw the port opposite. All the exhaustion was left behind, and now all you need to do is paddle hard, and success is just around the corner.

Xia Cheng walked to the side of our generals, ready to reopen the third guard, which is our last chance, but this time everyone's faces did not have the previous confusion, their faces were full of confident smiles, everything just needs to follow the plan on paper, and it will naturally come to fruition.

But just when everything was ready and the east wind was missing, my head suddenly ached...

Have we forgotten something?

Are we still wrong?

Near the water, the moon in the water, dare to ask the hero what he thinks.

[Note 1] "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, Shu Chronicles, and the Biography of the First Lord"; There are more and more heroes in Jingzhou who return to their ancestors, and they are suspicious of their hearts and yin and royal. So that the rejection of Xiahou and the ban are equal to Bowang. For a long time, the first lord set up an ambush, once the son burned the tun and escaped, he waited to chase him, and was broken by the ambush.

[Note 2] In the thirty-ninth episode of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the prince of Jingzhou sought three plans for Bowangpo's military division

Xiahoudun only cared about urging the army to kill. Yu Ban and Li Dian rushed to the narrow place, and there were reeds on both sides. The saying goes: "Those who deceive the enemy will be defeated." The south road is narrow, and the mountains and rivers are pressing. The trees are overgrown, and if he attacks with fire, what can he do? The ban said: "The king's words are also." I should go forward and say to the governor: You can stop the rear army. Li Dian retracted his horse and shouted, "The rear army is slow!" Where can the people stop? Yu Ban suddenly shouted: "The former monarch is the governor and stay!" Xiahoudun was walking, and when he saw Yu Ban coming from the rear army, he asked why. The ban said: "The south road is narrow, the mountains and rivers are pressing, and the trees are thick, so it can be attacked by fire." "Xiahou is fierce in the province, that is, he returns to the horse and orders the army and horses not to enter. Before he could say anything, he heard the shouts behind him, and he saw a fire burning, and then the reeds on both sides also lit. In an instant, there was fire in all directions; The wind is strong again, and the fire is getting fiercer.
