"Xiahou Xuan?" Cao Rong is quite amused by the name.

The son of Xiahou Shang, the general of the expedition to the south, and the cousin of the general Cao Shuang. This person is famous as a young man, with outstanding appearance, and is known as "Lang Lang as the sun and the moon in his arms".

In the sixth year of Emperor Wei Wen's early Huang Dynasty, he attacked the Marquis of Changling. When Emperor Cao Rong of Wei Ming was proclaimed emperor, he served as the supervisor of Yulin. Although this person is a clan, he has always been not very liked by Cao Ei, because when Cao Ei was not yet the emperor, he and Empress Mao's brother Mao Zeng showed displeasure on his face, and Cao Ei hated him, so he has not been reused.

"Why don't they recommend you?" Cao Rong lowered his head and asked.

Cao Shuang smiled awkwardly: "Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that it is actually the most suitable for the minister to go to Yongzhou by himself, but the elders all think that I need to have more experience, so I recommend Xiahou Xuan." ”

Cao Rong smiled heartily after hearing this. It seems that the clan also feels that Cao Shuang is not enough to go out and take charge alone.

So he asked: "How can Xiahou Xuan be able to replace Guo Huai and guard Yongzhou for the lonely town?" ”

Cao Shuang said: "Xiahou Xuan is famous, the elders of the clan like him very much, plus this person has been the Yulin supervisor for a long time, and under his command, Luoyang has always been extinct, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Therefore, the elders of the clan all felt that this person was a material that could be made by Yunwen Yunwu. ”

"It's ridiculous, a talent who can be created has to replace the local magistrate who is lonely in Yongzhou, why is this Xiahou Xuan?"

Cao Shuang said: "Your Majesty, the elders of the clan recommended Xiahou Xuan, in addition to feeling that this person is Yunwen Yunwu, there is another important reason, that is, this person and Sima Shi are on the same page, and the elders of the clan feel that if this son becomes a great weapon in the future, he should be able to suppress Sima Shi." ”

Cao Rong thought about it, and felt that the elders of the clan were really thinking too much, not to mention that Sima Shi was now humble and light-hearted, even his father Sima Yi could easily handle it, I really don't know what the group of people in the clan were thinking about all day.

Cao Rong felt that because of his grandfather Cao Cao's sentence "Sima Yi looks at the wolf with an eagle", his defense against Sima Yi was already very deep, but he didn't expect that the clan's defense against Sima Yi was even better.

If it weren't for the endgame in Liaodong, no one in the whole country could clean up except Sima Yi, it is estimated that the voices against Sima Yi leading troops in Liaodong would be very high, and a large part of them would come from the Cao clan and the Xiahou clan.

Cao Rong thought about it, Guo Huai is indeed losing consecutive battles under Jiang Wei's attack, and he blindly protects Guo Huai, in front of the ministers, I am afraid that he will also lose fairness, maybe let Xiahou Xuan replace Guo Huai in name, but in fact Guo Huai is still in control, which is also a kind of protection for Guo Huai.

Otherwise, all the firepower is aimed at Guo Huai, even Cao Rong is difficult to parry, now go to a Xiahou Xuan, give a false position, maybe let this Xiahou Xuan, who doesn't like much, share some firepower for Guo Huai.

So Cao Rong agreed to Cao Shuang's request.

"Okay, Lone promised you, Lone entered Xiahou Xuan as the general of Pingxi, led five thousand Lin Wei into Yongzhou, and supervised Yongliang's soldiers and horses. As for Guo Huai, he is still the assassin of Yongzhou. ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Cao Shuang respectfully bowed his hand.

Perhaps even Xiahou Xuan himself didn't expect that he could soar into the sky, and his official position directly changed from a small Yulin supervisor to a general of Great Wei Pingxi. The emperor also gave himself 5,000 Lin Wei and let him take him to the battlefield of Yongzhou.

Governor Yongliang, what an honor this is, in the clan, in addition to Cao Zhen and Xiahou Nan, he is the third person to hold this important position. Although he is currently only a general of Pingxi, and his official position is lower than that of Cao Zhen and Xiahou Nan, he is still very young, only twenty-five years old, and he will climb to the high position of general of Zhengxi sooner or later.

After Xiahou Xuan was appointed, he was overjoyed in his heart, and after thanking Cao Shuang fiercely, he proudly led the five thousand Lin Wei out of Luoyang and went all the way to Tianshui.

The news that Xiahou Xuan was going to come to Yongzhou to preside over the overall situation soon spread to Wang Ping, Wang Ping didn't know anything about Xiahou Xuan, only knew that this person was quite talented in Wei State, and had served in Yulin Wei for many years, but he had never fought with this person on the battlefield, and he was not sure whether to block Xiahou Xuan in Chang'an, so he wrote to Jiang Wei, who was in a stalemate.

After Jiang Wei received the letter, his eyes suddenly lit up, Xiahou Xuan, isn't that Cao Shuang's cousin, Cao Shuang's hardcore?

Jiang Wei vaguely remembered that according to the history of his previous life, Cao Shuang's biggest failure in his life, the Battle of Luogu in Shu, was planned by Xiahou Xuan and Cao Shuang. It can be seen that Xiahou Xuan's military ability is very commonplace,

Therefore, Jiang Wei couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, he was worried that Tianshui's deadlock could not find a way to solve it, but he didn't expect Cao Wei to take the initiative to send a big gift package, isn't this just what you want?

So Jiang Wei hurriedly replied to Wang Ping, instructing Wang Ping not to block Xiahou Xuan from going to Tianshui, not only could not stop it, but he could also fight some small defeats appropriately, so that Xiahou Xuan could arrive in Tianshui with victory.

When the letter returned to Wang Ping, Xiahou Xuan's 5,000-strong army happened to have arrived in Chang'an.

Xiahou Xuan insisted on attacking immediately and rushing straight to Tianshui, and also wanted Chang'an to guard Xiahou Nan to send troops together, first to repel Wang Ping, and then rescue Tianshui.

But Xiahou Nan didn't give Xiahou Xuan any face, completely ignored Xiahou Xuan, the governor of Yongliang, and ignored his orders. In Xiahou Nan's opinion, you Xiahou Xuan is a clan, and I, Xiahou Xuan, are also a clan, and I am also Emperor Taizuwu's son-in-law.

In terms of official position, I, Xiahou Xuan, am General Anxi, one level older than your Xiahou Xuan's General Pingxi, why do you command me?

All in all, Xiahou Nan's attitude is, if you want to fight Wang Ping, you have the ability to fight it yourself, I am the general of Chang'an, and guarding Chang'an is my priority.

Xiahou Xuan had no choice but to have the attitude of giving it a try, and led the five thousand Wei Yulin Wei Jing cavalry to attack Wang Ping once.

Wang Ping seemed to look up to Xiahou Xuan very much, and sent the general Zhang Yi to lead 6,000 infantry to meet Xiahou Xuan.

The two armies fought in Chang'an City, and in less than half an hour, the Shu army was killed and lost its armor and returned defeated.

Xiahou Xuan saw that the Shu army was nothing more than this, on the one hand, he was angry with Xiahou Nan, and on the other hand, he was more confident in his military ability, so he left Xiahou Nan and personally led 5,000 Lin Wei elite soldiers, attacking all the way, and after several consecutive victories, Xiahou Xuan's 5,000 army successfully entered Tianshui City.

After entering Tianshui City, Xiahou Xuan did not go to meet Dongxiang Princess Cao Aya for the first time, but went to meet Guo Huai, the assassin of Yongzhou.

Seeing Guo Huai, Xiahou Xuan said to Guo Huai unceremoniously:

"Guo Tingshi, you have fought with the Shu army several times, defeated repeatedly, lost your division and lost your land, Your Majesty is very dissatisfied with you, specially sent this general to Yongzhou, Governor Yongliang, you and hand over the command of Tianshui, this governor wants you to see and understand, how to fight this battle?"
