"Great!" Liu Qi nodded and smiled: "You were promoted to a general, selected 3,000 elite soldiers from the army, surveyed the surrounding terrain, bypassed Cao Ying and entered the mountains, listened to my plan, and there was another reward after the deed." ”

"Yes!" Zhang Wei was overjoyed and took the order to leave.

Fa Zheng nodded and praised: "There are many heroes in Sichuan, I see that this person has the talent of a general, and I don't know how many talents are hidden under General Yan." ”

Yan Yan stroked his beard and sighed: "If it weren't for Liu Jiyu's inability to employ people, there would be countless young talents like Zhang Wei who have made a name for themselves, but unfortunately they are all as fleeting as old age, and they are like trees!" ”

Huang Zhongzheng came into the tent to resign, and said unhappily when he heard the words: "General Yan said something, you and I are making meritorious contributions, and we will not arrest Xiahou Yuan, and we will not give up." ”

Yan Yan was stunned and said, "General Huang was going to behead Xiahou Yuan before, how could he be captured?" ”

Mr. Huang stroked his beard and said: "If only a certain horse, you can only kill this reckless man, if there is a general's response, it is not difficult to capture him!" After all, Xiahou Yuan is an old man, since he confessed to his relatives in Xiangyang, it is not easy to explain if he kills him. ”

Yan Yan said with a smile: "It's a pity that the three generals failed to join the army, otherwise Weng Son-in-law might be captured in a battle." ”

Everyone laughed, and the haze of the previous unfavorable war was swept away.

The next day, Liu Qi personally led 20,000 troops down the mountain, approached the camp of Cao's army, and the flags fluttered and covered the valley to fight a decisive battle with Xiahou Yuan.

In the camp, Xun You said with a smile: "Liu Qi personally came to fight, and I expected that he would secretly divide his troops to attack." ”

Xiahou Yuan laughed and said: "The military advisor really expected the enemy to take the lead, and even a bird in the valley did not want to pass, if he went to Taibai Road, he would be ambushed." ”

Xun You nodded and said: "If the general does not go to war, Liu Qi will definitely be suspicious, and he can deal with him, let him think he has a plan, and wait for the news of the virtuous nephew." ”

Beating drums and three links, Xiahou Yuan led Feng Kai and Lu Zhao out of the camp, Xiahou Shang swept the formation at the camp gate, and the people and horses formed a formation.

Yan Yan stepped forward and said with a smile: "Xiahou Yuan, my son-in-law is waiting in Hanzhong, the family is happy, there is no need to make a big move, why don't you go to Hanzhong with my lord to gather, how about it?" ”

When it comes to his niece, Xiahou Yuan is angry, Xiahou Yuan was arrested before, and he had to grit his teeth and admit the marriage between the two families, but as a result, Xiahou Ba and several people who sent their relatives were played by Liu Qi again, and they became Cao Ying's jokes.

Seeing that Huang Zhong had not come out, he relied on his identity and shouted: "The old thief has no mouth, who will kill him?" ”

"The last will go!" Lu Zhao urged the horse to kill.

Yan Yan shook his spirit, patted the horse to meet the enemy, the two clashed in front of the battle, and before Shihe arrived, Lu Zhao slashed under the horse, stroked his beard and laughed: "Cao Ying's generals are no match for old people, how can they do it?" ”

"The old thief is going to deceive people too much!" Feng Kai was furious, rushed out of the formation with a gun, and stabbed straight at Yan Yan.

Yan Yan should be strong and strong, and then fight with Feng Kai, twenty times regardless of victory or defeat, Xiahou Yuan is afraid of losing, and there is no one available under him, so Mingjin withdraws his troops.

When Feng Kai retreated, he immediately crossed the knife in person, pointed at Liu Qi and shouted: "Don't bully the old and the young, call Huang Han to rise and fight to the death with a certain one?" ”

Yan Yan laughed and said, "It's just a warm-up, let the horse come." ”

Xiahou Yuan was furious, urging the horses to fight, the famous generals fought each other, and it was really more intense, the war horses galloped back and forth, the killing was inseparable, the drums in the valley shook the sky, and the two armies shouted.

The two fought for more than 30 years, and Liu Qi also withdrew his troops, after all, Xiahou Yuan's martial arts are good, and without Huang Zhong's restraint, I am afraid that Yan Yan's strength will not be strong.

Xiahou Yuan also deliberately delayed time, and because he was unwilling to take advantage of the situation to hunt down a veteran, the two sides tacitly withdrew their troops and retreated.

Liu Qi sent Zhang Yi out again, and Xiahou Yuan had no one available, so he had to order Xiahou Shang to meet the battle, and the two armies fought generals, which was more like a performance, and they each collected their troops at noon.

After losing face before today's battle, Xiahou Yuan returned to the camp with a gloomy face, thinking that when Cao Cao pacified Hebei, there would be more than 100 generals, but today he was actually withered, and his heart was depressed.

Xiahou Shang persuaded: "Uncle doesn't have to be like this, and let him Liu Qi be proud for a while, it will be too late to make him cry in a few days." ”

While they were discussing, they reported that Liu Qi led the troops back to the cottage, but left Huang Zhong to camp at the foot of the mountain, and his movements were unknown.

Xiahou Yuan was puzzled: "What is the meaning of Liu Qi's move?" ”

Xun You said: "No matter how he uses his troops, it is just to prepare for the surprise attack of the soldiers and horses, and the general will carefully defend the camp and wait for the news." ”

A day passed, exploring the Malay newspaper, Huang Zhong pulled out of the village and marched forward for five miles, and there was an army stationed at the foot of the mountain behind, advancing five miles every two days, approaching the camp step by step.

"Liu Qi is taking every step of the way, encroaching on the territory, is he bullying no one in our army?" Xiahou Yuan was furious and was about to lead his troops into battle.

Xun You persuaded: "This is a counter-guest strategy, and Liu Qi does not have to go to war in order to attract the attention of the general." ”

Xiahou Yuan said angrily: "Although it is to lure the enemy, but the veteran is so threatening, isn't it laughed at?" If you want to fight, why should you be afraid? ”

So he didn't listen to Xun You's dissuasion, passed the order to raise the account, and led 5,000 soldiers to fight until Huang Zhongzhai shouted and cursed.

Huang Zhong fought with a knife on the horse, the two fought fifty times without winning or losing, and each used an arrow to shoot, Xiahou Yuan's arrow was pierced by Huang Zhong in the middle, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and collected his troops and returned to the camp.

Hearing that Huang Zhong took advantage of the victory to enter another five miles, Xiahou Yuan jumped like thunder and decided to rob the camp overnight to contain the enemy's situation.

Xun You persuaded again: "Huang Zhong is a camp step by step, he must be on guard and be careful. ”

Xiahou Yuan said angrily: "The old thief is too pressing, like a wolf walking in the house, if you don't meet the head-on attack, how can you be peaceful?" ”

Xiahou Shang also said: "Huang Zhong has advanced many times, and we have not paid attention to it, and we must think that we dare not fight, and we will succeed in this trip." ”

At the third watch of the night, Xiahou Yuan led the second general out of the camp and personally broke through the middle camp, Xiahou Shang and Feng Kai killed from the left and right, and sure enough, the enemy camp was not well prepared, the fire burned, Huang Zhong did not dare to fight, and led the troops to retreat.

Xiahou Yuan led the troops to chase after him, and killed in front of the rear camp, and saw that the enemy army had already responded, so he led the troops back, and many weapons were recovered in this battle.

At dawn, a banquet was held to celebrate the achievement, and the generals praised Xiahou Yuan for his decisiveness, but Xun Yu was twisting his beard and groaning on the side, with a solemn expression.

Xiahou Yuan was full of spirits and laughed: "Although the military advisor is wise, but if he is wise, he is suspicious, you need to know that the fighter plane is fleeting, and if the general is indecided, can he sit still and wait for death?" ”

"I'm not worried about last night's war!" Xun You tugged at his beard and frowned: "Liu Qi is so aggressive, but Taibai Dao has no news to arrive, does it have another deep meaning?" ”

Xiahou Yuan sneered: "Maybe the military advisor is too worried, doesn't Liu Qi know that the path is difficult to march?" It did not divide its troops to attack, and wanted to use this strategy to encroach on our army and take the camp of Keigu directly. ”

Xiahou Shang nodded and said: "Today, Liangzhou Thorn Shi is trapped in Jicheng, I am afraid that the situation in Xiliang is critical, Zhao Yun attacks Sanguan, if you don't retreat Liu Qi early, and the men and horses break through Chencang, it will be useless for us to confront each other again, and we will suffer from the enemy on our backs." ”

Xiahou Yuan's confidence increased greatly at this time, and he nodded: "What the virtuous nephew said is extremely true, now that the war is urgent everywhere, Liangzhou is in urgent need of rescue, and it is really not appropriate to entangle with Liu Qi here." In last night's battle, a certain Guan Huang Zhong is nothing more than this, if he can take advantage of the victory to attack, kill Liu Qi's army, and let him have a few strange soldiers, there is nothing he can do! ”

While the discussion was being made, the drums outside the camp were loud, the defenders came to report, and Huang Zhong went to the camp to fight again.
