Since Zhang Fei defeated Xu Chu, he was very proud in his heart, and he no longer chased after him, so he and Gao Ping led the army and horses to snatch the grain and grass, and all of them were burned. This place is only twenty or thirty miles away from Dingjun Mountain, and with Xiahou Yuan's temperament, when he sees this raging fire, he will inevitably bring military horses to the rescue. Zhao Shu looked at the burning flames, as if he had seen his dismal end, and hurriedly ordered Gao Ping to take hundreds of men and horses to change into Cao Jun's clothes and armor to meet Xiahou Yuan.

Xiahou Yuan saw that on the road to Nanzheng on the mountain, the flames were soaring, so he knew that Xu Zhu was missing, and hurriedly ordered soldiers and horses to rescue. But there was a person who came out of the queue to block it, and regarded it as Sima Guo Huai in the army, and heard him say: "The general has an important position, and he must not leave this place lightly." Now that General Xu's grain and grass have fallen, we should try to send grain and grass to Nanzheng City again, instead of rushing to the rescue. The general must know that this mountain must not be lost again, otherwise the hundreds of thousands of troops of the King of Wei in Hanzhong will become hungry ghosts. ”

Xiahou Yuan had already been angered by Zhao Shu, where could he think about it, and immediately scolded: "Zhong Kang is the favorite general of King Wei, if there is a loss, how can I not save it?" What's more, I have been challenging for days, but the enemy army has not come out to meet him, and it is just right to fight a decisive battle with him at this time. Zhang He was also on the mountain at this time, knowing that Guo Huai's words were reasonable, and also persuaded: "Since the general is going, he can divide half of the army and horses to guard this mountain." ”

Xiahou Yuan thought for a moment, and also felt that it was feasible, and nodded: "This is also possible." "Divide the second half of the military horses and Zhang He, Guo Huai guarded the mountain, and led the army to rescue Xu Zhu. After going down the mountain for less than ten miles, he saw the defeated army all the way coming, and he knew Xu Zhu's troops by looking at his armor, so Le Ma asked: "Where is Xu Zhongkang?" ”

This team of men and horses was Gao Ping's department, but he recognized Xiahou Yuan, and immediately stepped forward and replied: "General Xu was defeated and returned to Nanzheng, and we are about to join the general." Xiahou Yuan hurriedly asked: "Zhongkang is defeated like this, where is the grain and grass?" Gao Ping replied: "Zhang Fei is leading the military horses to set fire, but I am afraid that they have all burned out." ”

"Okay, you Zhang Yide." When Xiahou Yuan heard this, he was furious and shouted: "You can follow me to take back the grain and grass." Let Gao Ping lead the way in front to find Zhang Fei to tear and kill and take revenge. The fireworks were getting closer, and sure enough, I saw Zhang Fei directing people and horses to set fire everywhere and send the grain and grass to Nanzheng City, and they were burned by the fire. Xiahou Yuan's eyes were about to erupt with fire, and he shouted: "Zhang Fei, dare to fight me to the death." Zhang Fei sneered a few times and replied: "I have already burned grain and grass, why do I need to fight with you again?" With that, he led the horses to retreat.

Xiahou Yuan has been losing troops for several days, and now he has seen so much grain and grass burned, where can Zhang Fei be allowed to leave like this? He hurriedly led the men and horses to chase after him. However, the soldiers and horses led by Gao Ping gradually fell behind, and Xiahou Yuan only looked at Zhang Feiqi, but he didn't know it. After chasing for a short distance, Xiahou saw trees on both sides, and he was in doubt. But suddenly, there was a fire on both sides, and countless arrows were fired.

Xiahou Yuan was originally a general, but he suddenly realized that he was in a plan, and he was no longer allowed to chase Zhang Fei, so he ordered the whole army to retreat. With the remnants of the defeated soldiers, he rushed out of the fire, but he killed all the way to the front, and he was anxious to see it, but it was the defeated army of Xu Zhu just now. Xiahou Yuan was about to step forward to ask, but he heard the other party shout: "Xiahou Pifu, take your life." A shot stabbed head-on, Xiahou Yuan couldn't dodge, hit the throat, and fell off his horse and died. Gao Ping immediately took down Xiahou Yuan's head and killed Cao Jun before coming to find Zhao Shu.

Zhao Shu Gao had already seen Gao Ping assassinate Xiahou Yuan, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, Cao Cao, Cao Cao, today I finally avenged the blood revenge of Chen Wu and Dong Xi. A moment later, Zhang Fei and Gao Ping arrived. Zhao Shu looked at the head hanging in front of Gao Ping's horse, and said with a smile: "Brother Gao has made such a great achievement, it is really gratifying." Gao Ping was very happy today, and actually replied with a smile: "Thanks to Mr. 's clever plan." ”

Zhao Shu saw that Zhang Fei was silent again, and hurriedly said: "The three generals stabbed Xu Zhu, which is enough to make the generals of Cao Ying cold. Zhang Fei just smiled reluctantly and didn't speak. Zhao Shu knew that he was unhappy, but Xiahou Yuan knew him, so he couldn't let him go to lure the enemy, right? So he changed the topic and said: "Meng Qiying has already captured Dingjun Mountain, and we will go together to meet it." The two nodded yes, and the military horses came to Dingjun Mountain again.

Zhao Shu attracted Xiahou Yuan to rescue Xu Chu, thinking that there was an emptiness on Dingjun Mountain, and with Ma Chao's ability, he would be able to capture it smoothly. As a result, the three of them led the army to the bottom of the mountain, but they heard the sound of shouting and killing, and saw that Ma Dai was constantly directing his men and horses to charge up the mountain, and he did not attack it. Zhao Shu was surprised, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Where is Meng Qi?" ”

When Ma Dai saw Zhao Shu coming back, he hurriedly said: "My brother personally led the army to attack in front, and the last general will respond in the rear." When Zhao Shu heard this, he looked up the mountain, and sure enough, he saw Ma Chao charging at the front, and the left shoulder was still bandaged with a white cloth, and he couldn't help asking: "Meng is injured when he gets up?" Ma Dai nodded and said: "When my brother saw the mobilization of soldiers and horses on the mountain, he knew that Xiahou Yuan led the army to rescue Xu Zhu, so he waved his army to attack the mountain, who knew that the mountain was well defended. After several clashes between the army, the elder brother stepped forward and was hit by an arrow in his left shoulder. The last general tried hard to persuade him, but the elder brother said, 'Mr. will pay for the heavy responsibility, and he will not dare to retreat in the slightest', and he only hurriedly bandaged it, and then stepped forward in person. ”

It's just confused, since the other party is prepared, why force the attack again? In case Ma Chao had a long or short term, Zhao Shuke was reluctant to let Ma Dai go and persuade his brother to come back. After a while, the two brothers came down the mountain together, and when they saw Zhao Shu, Ma Chao bowed and said: "The last general is incompetent, and he has lost the trust of Mr. and failed to capture Dingjun Mountain." ”

Zhao Shu saw the blood stains on his body, knew that he had done his best, and personally stepped forward to help him, and said with relief: "I don't expect that when Xiahou Yuan is leaving, there are still preparations." The terrain of this mountain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is by no means the fault of the general. He looked at the wound on his left shoulder and said, "A thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find." Generals should also be good at cherishing themselves. Turning to Zhang Fei again, Gao Ping said: "The army will rest for a while and then attack." Ma Chao said first: "The last general is willing to be the front." ”

Zhao Shu really felt that the bloody man in front of him was really cute, respectable, and handy, and said with a smile: "When the general charges for a long time, you can go to rest first, now that Xiahou Yuan is dead, this mountain is not to worry about." When Ma Chao heard the news of Xiahou Yuan's death, he was overjoyed and said, "This person has been at war with the last general for many years. The last general has never won, and today he was killed by Mr., and Mr. is really superior. ”

Zhao Shu pointed to the soldiers behind him and said: "These are all the generals who are brave, and the soldiers are doing what they want." How dare Shu take credit? He then ordered Ma Dai to send his brother back to the camp to rest, but he and Gao Ping and Zhang Fei stepped forward, preparing to attack Dingjun Mountain again.
