Xiahou Yuan was protected by more than 200 guards and fled eastward, Ma Chao did not pursue, and Xiahou Yuan saw that there was no pursuer to rest for a while.

The guards persuaded bitterly: "It is useless for the general to go back at this time, he will only be humiliated by Ma Chao, so he should retreat first in order to take revenge!" Ma Chao was beaten by the general for less than ten horses, and now he is making a comeback! If we had turned back, we would have been in the woes we have today. ”

Xiahou Yuan took a breath and said: "I am usually a soldier, how can I abandon the soldiers and escape!" ”

The guard said: "Let's go, general, don't let down Guo Sima's love of sacrificing his life to save him!" Guo Sima: They will have another way to get away! ”

Xiahou Yuan did not move, concentrating and pondering, in the end, he really couldn't think of a good way to return and change the situation of the battle, his army was doomed to be wiped out!

Xiahou Yuan said desolate to the young man next to him: "Rong'er, my father is going to be late in the evening!" ”

The boy is Xiahou Yuan's fourth son, Xiahou Rong. Xiahou Rong said: "Why did my father say this! Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, since it is useless to return to the battlefield, it is better to return to Qishan immediately, meet Uncle Cao Ren and them, and then fight for victory!

If my father can defeat Ma Chao once or twice, he can defeat him for the third and fourth times! ”

Xiahou Yuan looked into the distance, paused for a moment and suddenly shouted: "Go!" "Xiahou Yuan went east to Qishan.

Xiahou Yuan didn't know that Pang Lin had already stationed on the north side of a hillside thirty miles away from Ma Chao.

After Pang Lin got in touch with Ma Chao in Hou Hecheng, Ma Chao and Pang Lin joined forces. After intercepting Xiahou Yuan, Pang Lin was also there, but it was dark that Xiahou Yuan didn't find out how many troops the Han army had.

In order to induce Xiahou Yuan to fight with him, Ma Chao sent Pang Lin to lead his troops and horses to ambush in the direction of the west, and if he was in an anxious battle, he rushed to support. Otherwise, they will intercept the rout of Cao's army.

The cavalry led by Pang Lin is not like Ma Chao, who has been fighting for 20 consecutive days, so Ma Chao exchanged himself with Pang Lin's cavalry, and all Pang Lin's soldiers and horses belonged to Ma Chao, and Ma Chao drew out 2,000 Han cavalry and hundreds of obedient Qiang cavalry to Pang Lin. In addition, Pang Lin was also provided with a guide.

Xiahou Yuan ran west and fled for more than 20 miles, but immediately the bump caused the wound to rupture, and he had to stop and re-bandage.

The guards felt that they were scattered and guarded, and Xiahou Yuan sat down and rested for a while, and unconsciously blew a southeast wind.

Xiahou Yuan looked at the wind and couldn't calm down and blurted out: "The southeast wind is blowing and walking away against the wind, won't God help me Xiahou Yuan!" "The guards were affected and frustrated.

Xiahou Yuan got up and ordered to continue in the direction of Qishan. At this moment, the guards on guard hurriedly ran over, panting and shouting, "Thief! Thieves! ”

Before everyone could react, Xiahou Yuan had already jumped on his war horse and shouted, "Prepare to fight!" Hearing the order, the guards mounted their horses and drew their weapons.

Thousands of cavalry appeared in the distance. Xiahou Yuan turned his head left and right and said, "Soldiers! Today's army is defeated and poor, and there is no way to repay the king of Wei except for death! Soldiers, prepare to rush with me! ”

Pang Lin led his troops to surround Xiahou Yuan, and Xiahou Yuan shouted: "Kill!" ”

The Cao army rushed towards the Han army in a sharp formation, but the Cao army was a few but the top elite, these people were all guards who had been fighting with Xiahou Yuan for decades, plus the will to break out in a desperate situation!

It is true that there are many Han soldiers, Xiahou Yuan is dedicated to one place, and the Han army is too large. The tactics are right, Pang Lin sent Guan Xing and Zhang Bao to surround Xiahou Yuan with two wings, but before they could effectively encircle, Xiahou Yuan unfolded the speed of his horses and attacked back and forth, and the Han army could not effectively intercept it, losing hundreds of soldiers.

Xiahou Yuan didn't plan to run away, he understood that he could run the Han army and chase after him, but he couldn't run out. Xiahou Yuan attacked several times, and the momentum began to slow down, and the Han army slowly surrounded Xiahou Yuan.

Xiahou Yuan killed the enemy on all sides, the Han army tightened step by step, Xiahou Yuan was out of breath, he was tired of killing, and he couldn't kill. Xiahou Yuan looked at the guards who were less than a hundred people left around him and sighed: "I, Xiahou Yuan, also have a time when I am at the end of my rope!" ”

Xiahou Yuan looked at his fourth son, Xiahou Rong, and sighed in his heart that his son could be a seven-year-old scholar, reciting thousands of words a day, and everyone was surprised to know it.

originally planned to let Xiahou Rong go through the war, inherit or even surpass himself to become a famous general who supported the Cao family, why, his plan would go wrong.

Xiahou Yuan sighed bitterly: "Rong'er, it was for my father who harmed you!" When I was a father, I should have left you with Cao Hong and Yang Fu instead of following me to fight for Huang Quan! ”

Xiahou Rong shook his head and said: "Going out with my father is what the child insists on, and my father can't dissuade him, so what does my father have to do with it!" ”

Xiahou Yuan covered his eyes and said, "You are a filial child, follow me to serve me!" How can I not know why! Blame me for being too eager to cultivate your ability to lead troops, in fact, according to your character, even if you have served in various places with your own experience, thirty years old is enough to become a famous general! Today, however, I want it! ”

Suddenly, Xiahou Yuan approached Xiahou Rong and said, "Rong'er, your cousin is Zhang Fei's wife, it's better to ......"

Xiahou Rong said firmly: "My father has the intention of sacrificing his life for the country, and my son also has the heart of following my father!" ”

Xiahou Yuan stopped speaking and frowned. At this time, the original small wind blows into a strong wind! The Han army on all sides shouted: Descend early! Early drop!

Xiahou Yuan sneered: "You want me to surrender, dream!" ”

The guard said: "The general is windy!" It's a pity that you can't roll up the wind and sand, otherwise you can take advantage of the chaos to break through! ”

Xiahou Yuan's heart moved: "Wind! The wind fuels the fire, why not set fire to disturb the Han army! ”

Then he was overjoyed and said, "That's right! Set fire quickly! ”

Xiahou Yuan commanded the guards to set fires. For a while, the fire was blowing in the direction of the wind. As soon as the southeast wind blew, the fire swept towards the Han army in the southeast direction, and the Han army's horses were frightened, and the horses flashed back violently for a while.

Seeing such a situation, Pang Lin ordered the soldiers and horses in the northeast of the Han army to retreat and reorganize their formation, and shovel the weeds and dead trees in front of them.

The troops and horses in the northwest were further compressed, driving Cao's army into the fire. Seeing that the Han army was coming to step up the attack on him, Xiahou Yuan ordered another fire in front of him.

Retreating into the freshly burned dust, Pang Lin nervously observed Cao Jun's movements. Then Cao Jun shouted in the fire: "I'd rather die than be a prisoner, and burn the remnants to repay the King of Wei!" ”

Pang Lin was very strange when he heard it, could this be self-immolation! Xiahou Yuan said again: "I am a general, and I will not fall into the wisdom of my clan if I die by self-immolation!" Mengde, I'm coming! ”

Pang Lin ordered to be on strict guard, shooting random arrows into the fire to observe the situation. The wind is blowing stronger and stronger, rolling up dust and sand and stones, and the view is blocked!

At this moment, a team of soldiers and horses suddenly rushed out of the fire and released arrows together, Zhang Bao was ready and led the troops to fight.

As soon as the two armies fought, there were many Han soldiers, and the Cao army, which was less than 100 people, was killed in a blink of an eye. The Han army inspected the corpse and found no body of Xiahou Yuan.

Pang Lin was startled and ordered to enter the burning fire to look for it, just when the Han army was busy looking for Xiahou Yuan's body.

Pang Lin said to the generals: "It is impossible for Xiahou Yuan to escape, either he dies or blends into our army." You are careful to secretly investigate all the soldiers, and you must not let Xiahou Yuan go! ”

Han will begin to inspect the army. Suddenly, five horses on the outer layer headed north.

Pang Lin shouted: "Whoever let you out of the team, someone will catch up!" Guan Xing chased after him. The five of them shot arrows as they walked, and then the Han army set fire to the grass.

Pang Lin shouted: "Xiahou Yuan, you are a generation of famous generals, don't use this kind of trick to fall into prestige, it's better to surrender quickly!" to avoid humiliation! No one answered.

Pang Lin looked carefully and saw that someone on the other side of the fire was walking south. Pang Lin shouted: "Rush over, the speed is enough to burn us!" ”

The soldiers of the Han army replied: "When you join the army, people are not afraid, but horses are afraid!" ”

Pang Lin said anxiously: "Hurry around, hurry!" "The Han army hurriedly bypassed the fire.

Pang Lin was anxious, only to hear the roar from the other side: "Zhang Bao is here again, where is Xiahou Yuan going!" ”

It turned out that Zhang Bao came over and happened to see it! Several knights dressed in Han army armor ran wildly, and Zhang Bao chased after them.

Because they hoped to be captured alive, the Han army did not release arrows. Gradually, the distance shortened, and the Han army that circled them pushed them into a corner.

Zhang Bao shouted: "Don't run! Can't run away! The fleeing knight stopped when he saw that he was surrounded, and showed his weapon.

Zhang Bao reined in his horse and said, "Surrender!" The results speak for themselves! ”

The leader took off his helmet was Xiahou Rong, who looked into the distance and thought: "Father should have escaped, although he was embarrassed, it was better than being captured and his reputation collapsed!" ”

Xiahou Rong took off the Han army's clothes and armor and said on the ground: "Surrender, dream!" Cao Jun beside him also took off his armor and held his weapon to fight to the death.

Zhang Baoqi said: "What about Xiahou Yuan? ”

Xiahou Rong said coldly: "Just because you, a thief, still want to arrest my father?" ”

Zhang Bao heard Xiahou Rong scolding himself and said angrily: "Become a king and defeat a thief, let you know today what a defeat is!" Standing up with the Zhangba snake spear, Xiahou Rong was not afraid and engaged in the battle with a spear.

The two horses were approaching, and Xiahou Rong suddenly raised his spear and threw it at Zhang Bao's door, and Zhang Bao dodged sideways with a sound.

Xiahou Rong took the opportunity to approach Zhang Bao and pulled out his sword and stabbed Zhang Bao. Zhang Bao shouted: "You kid can't fight!" ”

A flip of the spear directly hit Xia Hourong's wrist, Zhang Bao lost his strength, and directly smashed Xia Hourong's wrist with a blow. Xiahou Rong shouted in pain and fell off the horse! The Han army stepped forward and held it alive.

The rest of Cao's army were tripped and their horses were captured. Zhang Bao escorted Xiahou Rong to see Pang Lin. On the other side, the five Han soldiers who left the team were Cao Jun pretending to be captured for a lifetime, and the strange thing was that Xiahou Yuan was gone.

Zhang Bao came back to his life. Pang Lin asked, "Where did the child come from, Xiahou Yuan!" ”

Xiahou Rong's wrist was broken, and he endured the pain and said: "I am Xiahou Rong, the son of Xiahou Yuan!" Father has already escaped! ”

Pang Lin said with annoyance: "It's a good calculation, using the corpses of our soldiers to pretend to be our army, and then charging like a mixed army." set fire to create chaos, and left the team on both sides to lure our army to chase after him, and Xiahou Yuan took advantage of the chaos to run away!

Fishing in troubled waters, good plan! What a pity! This is inconsistent with Xiahou Yuan's identity, which makes people laugh! I also lost my son! Come and search! ”

Xiahou Rong thought to himself: "My father doesn't want to leave me, but my leg was injured by random arrows, which will become a drag on my father." Two people close to him told them to seize him. After telling his father the truth, he rode out despite his father's objections, and his father was a good father.

As a son of man, I should lead away the thief army! God forbid, father's dilemma! This man insulted my father, and I told him to shut up! ”

Xiahou Rong said loudly to Pang Lin: "You don't have to be excited, didn't Liu Bei also run to Yuan Shao when he was beaten alone, why didn't he take care of his identity and fight with the first king?"

Emperor Gaozu was trapped in Xingyang at the beginning, and Ji Xin was able to break the project again by killing Gaozu. Lying on the salary and tasting the courage, being able to bend and stretch is the hero!

If you are as ignorant as you and act blindly because of your identity, you are the real laughing stock, and you can just add merit to others! ”

Pang Lin was robbed by the child. Frowning, this child is fourteen or fifteen years old, and his words are sharp, and he underestimates him! Killing a child by himself is afraid of causing gossip, after all, Liu Bei is known for his benevolence and righteousness.

Just thinking about it, Zhang Bao came and said, "Oh, Xiahou Yuan's son is!" What am I going to call you? ”

Xiahou Rong said angrily: "How can there be thieves and relatives in my family!" ”

Zhang Bao laughed and said: "My father is Zhang Fei, and my mother's surname is Xiahou." Xiahou Yuan is my maternal uncle, and I am not relatives. Isn't it uncle! You are younger than me, I still call you uncle, why do you feel that you take advantage of me! ”

Xiahou Rong actually knew about this relationship, and now he was bent on seeking death and deliberately scolded each other: "Nonsense, little thief, who is your uncle!" Get lost! ”

After saying that, he rushed up and crashed into Zhang Bao, and the Han army on the left and right didn't react and didn't catch it. Zhang Baoqi said: "I didn't lie to you, why do you look like you want to kill me!" ”

Xiahou Rong rushed over, Guan Xing waved his knife beside him, and knocked the back of the knife on Xiahou Rong's back, and Xiahou Rong fell suddenly. Han Jun held down Xiahou Rong, Xiahou Rong lay on the ground and scolded everyone, but unfortunately he has studied since he was a child, and he is not very good at scolding, and he always says a few words over and over again, and no one is angry!

Zhang Bao dismounted and said, "Uncle, stop it!" I see that the wound on your leg has been oozing blood, and my wrist should have been broken by me just now, I'm sorry, I don't know it's you, don't hate me, there's no way for the two armies to fight, right? Come, I'll bandage you! It's good to take care of it! ”

Xiahou Rong couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why is this person like this!" If you recognize your relatives in battle, you will disrupt the hearts of the army, how to do the general? Mother-in-law's mother-in-law's no one is angered by me! When I was a joke! ”

Pang Lin looked at something in his cold eyes and said, "Since you are still a child, don't learn from adults!" Just now you can still bend and stretch, take good care of yourself! Your path has just begun! ”

Xiahou Rong couldn't help but say, "Do you know what I'm thinking? ”

Pang Lin replied non-positively: "I like your strong character, but now you don't need that!" ”

Xiahou Rong raised his head and said: "I joined the army with my father, and now I am captured and should die to defend my father's name!" Anyone would be like that with my brother! ”

Pang Lin was about to say something more, and suddenly Xiahou Rong took advantage of Zhang Bao's self-healing injuries and was unrestrained, his hands and feet were let go, and he saw the opportunity to pull out Zhang Bao's sword, but unfortunately he just pulled out Zhang Bao and punched Xiahou Rong in the face.

Xiahou Rong was beaten to the ground, Zhang Bao picked up the sword and put it into the sheath, and hurriedly went to help complain: "Uncle, why are you not honest, pull out my sword, I am used to practicing martial arts with my father." This punch is not light! You like my saber and I'll give it to you! ”

Xiahou Rong looked at Zhang Bao and wanted to cry without tears, not knowing whether Zhang Bao was really fake. But he knew he didn't have a chance to kill himself.

Zhang Bao bandaged it and patted Xiahou Rong on the shoulder and said, "What kind of suicide!" I'll take you to see my mother after the battle! My mother hasn't seen her mother's family for many years, and she must be happy to see you! ”

He turned to his hands and said, "Tie up my uncle!" If you don't eat, pour it in! Shut your mouth! It's so good to say don't be dizzy by him! ”

Xiahou Rong was stunned for a moment, and Zhang Bao smiled at him: "Uncle has been wronged for two days, and it will be over!" ”

Xia Hourong felt that he was being tricked and said loudly: "I'm not afraid of death, kill me!" ”

Zhang Bao continued: "Hurry up and tie up his mouth!" Send it down! "The men are commanded.

Guan Xing looked at Zhang Bao with a strange expression, and Zhang Bao said to Guan Xing: "What are Xingguo looking at me for?" ”

Guan Xing shrugged and said, "It's okay, let's go!" Pang Lin sent search soldiers and horses to return in vain.

Pang Lin met with Ma Chao to ask for guilt, Ma Chao was disappointed when he heard that Xiahou Yuan had run away, but he had no right to deal with it, he just comforted: "Xiahou Yuan is only spared this time, we are already a big victory, the sky will not end Xiahou Yuan, let him live for two more years!" ”

Pang Lin told Xiahou Rong again, and Ma Chao mentioned that Xiahou Rong was only fourteen years old and gave up his life to replace him, and he couldn't say anything in his heart.

recalled that he raised an army against Cao regardless of his family, just to keep the troops in his hands. It can't be said that he is begging for thieves for the Han family, and he only cares about himself completely.

Whether it was Pang Gong, Liang Kuan, Zhao Ang, Li Jun, or Yang Fu before, they were not for themselves, they all sacrificed their lives for others. They all have something they don't have, loyalty and faith.

Ma Chao looked back on half of his life, and he was only fighting for himself. muttered: "Xiahou Rong blocked the thief for his father, should this be what a son should do?" ”

After hearing this, Pang Lin replied: "It's hard to say whether you should do it or not, but at least Xiahou Yuan has raised a good son!" ”

Pang Lin's unintentional words were heard by Ma Chao, Ma Chao looked into the distance and thought: I really don't deserve to be a son!

On a mountain, Xiahou Yuan looked into the distance. There were only two guards left around and persuaded: "Let's go, General!" ”

Xiahou Yuan recalled that he took advantage of the chaos to search with the army, reached a ravine and abandoned his horse, and went around along the low ditch to a place where the Han army could not see, hiding and walking along the way.

Finally, because of the attraction of Xiahou Rong's people, they found a secret place to hide their figures, and after dark, there was a light rain in the sky, which made it difficult for the Han army to search. The three of them used the fresh horseshoe prints on the ground to ambush the Han soldiers who had been waiting for a long time to be alone, killing people and seizing horses, and getting food and horses.

Xiahou Yuan no longer took the usual path, but crossed the mountains from Niutou Mountain and returned to Tianshui County. Hearing the words of the guard, he put away his thoughts about his son, and whispered: "If Rong'er is not dead, maybe for the sake of Zhang Fei's face, Liu Bei will not kill him, and his sister will take care of him!" ”
