Chapter 382: The Talent of a General
Xiahou Yuan sneered: "This must be the old thief who is unwilling to fail and wants to save face." ”
Xiahou Shangyan said: "I think that in Liu Qi's array, only Huang Zhong is strong in martial arts, and the rest are not to worry, if my uncle can kill this old thief, it will be easy to repel Liu Qi." ”
Although Xiahou Yuan disdained Huang Zhong to be old, but after several battles, he also knew that his strength was not bad, and frowned: "This old thief is quite capable, and his sword skills are extremely sophisticated, and he needs to exhaust his strength before he can be defeated." ”
Xiahou Shang said with a smile: "The prime minister often says: Whoever is a general, should be a combination of hardness and softness, if you only rely on it, it is just a martial artist." Why did my uncle fight with him? ”
"Hey, you kid taught me a lesson?" Xiahou Yuan put down his wine glass and said angrily: "The prime minister did have this explanation when he left, doesn't the virtuous nephew have a clever plan?" ”
Xiahou Shangyan said: "Don't dare to talk about clever plans, but you can take Huang Zhong's life, even if he escapes, the old thief can no longer go into battle to fight." ”
Xiahou Yuan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Will the plan be released?" ”
Xun You was also surprised, everyone stared at Xiahou Shang, quite expectantly, could it be that the Xiahou clan was going to produce a good general again?
Xiahou Shang coughed dryly, and said with a weak heart: "You can choose someone from the army who looks similar to your uncle and let him go out to fight, but my uncle is hiding in the army and attacking ...... with hidden arrows."
Xiahou Yuan was displeased, and snorted coldly: "Wouldn't this ruin my reputation in my life?" ”
All the generals also shook their heads, but Xun You nodded and said: "I think this plan is feasible, since ancient times, there has been only life and death on the battlefield, how to deal with it?" ”
Xiahou Yuan hesitated slightly, stood up, gritted his teeth and said, "For the sake of the prime minister's great cause, Xiahou Yuan has gone out. ”
Xiahou was still overjoyed, and immediately went to the army to select someone similar to Xiahou Yuan's body, draped neatly, with a helmet to shine on his face, if it was not a close person, he couldn't tell it from a distance.
The men and horses beat drums out of the camp, Xiahou Yuan mixed in the personal soldiers, and saw Huang Zhong setting up a formation outside the camp, holding a flag to cover the sun, and the momentum was violent.
Huang Zhong stepped out and shouted: "Xiahou Yuan, I regard you as a hero, and you are actually a sneak attack villain, can you dare to fight with a certain one?" ”
Xun You ordered the drum to be beaten, and the soldiers in front of the battle heard the order and rushed out without saying a word, and Xiahou Yuan secretly picked up a bow and arrow to aim at Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong danced the knife to urge the horse, the two horses were staggered, just a knife, and the man was cut under the horse, Cao Jun was in an uproar, Huang Zhong was also stunned, looking down at the people on the ground.
Xiahou Yuan was already ready to shoot, and three arrows were shot out in a row, and when someone reminded him, when Huang Zhong raised his head, three arrows flew closer.
With a roar, he turned his head and dodged the top one, and the other two were shot in the chest and abdomen, and immediately screamed, and turned the horse away.
"Attack!" Xiahou Yuan was overjoyed, urged his horse out from his own soldiers, and caught up with him.
The Han army followed Huang Zhong and was defeated, and the Cao army pursued and killed all the way, and never stopped until the front camp, rushing straight into the village, the defenders fled in panic, and the Cao army was greatly boosted and followed Xiahou Yuan to continue to move forward.
Chased all the way from morning to noon, and when he reached the village at the foot of the mountain, Liu Qi heard the report and hurriedly organized people to resist and see how to defend the camp.
Xiahou Yuan saw that it was good, collected the troops and returned to the camp, this battle captured four villages in a row, obtained countless weapons and baggage, Cao Jun had not won such a big victory for a long time, and the camp was full of jubilation.
Xiahou Shang said again: "Now that Huang Zhong has been seriously injured, the morale of the enemy army is low, and the army's heart is shaking, why not take advantage of the night to rob the camp, force it to the mountain in one fell swoop, and then act at the opportunity, kill Liu Qi and retreat, and then chase him to Hanzhong in one go." ”
Xiahou Yuan was about to pass the order to celebrate, and when he heard this, he laughed and said: "This is magnificent, the victory or defeat of Hanzhong will be today." ”
Xun You felt that something was wrong, and persuaded: "Today's big victory, when you stabilize the army's heart, step by step, I'm afraid it's too late." ”
Xiahou Yuan's confidence increased greatly at this time, if he had listened to Xun Yu's plan before, how could there be this big victory, so he didn't care, and said with a smile: "Huang Zhong has been seriously injured, and the generals under Liu Qi regard it as a mustard ear, why be afraid?" ”
That night, the three armies were full of food, Xiahou Yuan stayed in Xun to defend the city, the elite went out of the Kei Valley, and went to the camp under the mountain to kill, and the first sneaked into the camp, and sure enough, the defenders were unprepared, and the camp gate was burned by the fire.
The morale of the Cao army was at this time, and with a shout, they rushed into the camp, but the Han army could not resist and retreated to the hillside.
Xiahou Yuan urged the horse to rush straight to the big tent of the Chinese army, and was meeting Yan Yan dispatching troops and horses, and stepped forward to fight with him, the two fought for more than ten times, Jufu and Zhang Yi rushed to the rescue, and struggled to force Xiahou Yuan to retreat, protect Yan Yan and leave.
"The dog thief is gone, and my brother is still alive!" When Xiahou Shang saw his old opponent, he was furious and waved his troops to cover the kill.
The uncle and nephew chased half along the slope, and when they saw the torches on the hill Qi Ming, the enemy army poured down from the hillside, and then withdrew their troops back to the village, which was another big victory.
The drums on the mountain sounded for a while, and the gold was withdrawn, presumably because Liu Qi was injured by Huang Zhong, and did not dare to rush down the mountain, although there was an advantage in rushing down the hillside, but once it was unsuccessful, it was difficult to retreat.
The two sides each dismissed the troops, at this time the sky was light, Xiahou Yuan did not intend to retreat, and it was rumored that the horses were stationed on the spot, repaired the camp, and set up the front village according to the original big village, and set up another village one mile away, to save each other.
Xiahou Shang finally raised his eyebrows, clenched his fists and said, "It's a pity that I got rid of Yan Yan and the others, and I can't avenge my brother." ”
Xiahou Yuan said with a smile: "A gentleman's revenge, ten years is not too late, there is no need to rush for a while." Liu Qi wants to use the anti-guest strategy, stealing chickens and rice, but I will take back a city, see if he dares to be arrogant? ”
Xiahou Shang praised: "Fortunately, my uncle has his own opinions, if he listens to Mr. Xun's plan, he is still defending in Keigu, and he is called Liu Qi to show off his might." ”
Xiahou Yuan sneered: "Although Xun Yu has a plan, after all, he is not as good as Guo Jia and Xun Yu. ”
Xiahou Shang hugged his fists and said: "Uncle Gaojian, now the prime minister is on an expedition to Liaodong, Zhang Wenyuan is guarding the Central Plains, and General Cao is still facing in Huainan. ”
Xiahou Yuan touched his beard and said with a smile: "When he followed the prime minister back then, he fought in the east and the west, how could he not know the art of war, how could he win a small victory?" When we wait to enter Hanzhong and capture Liu Qi alive, Jingzhou will be terrified, and Guan Yu will retreat. ”
The men and horses rested for half a day, and in the afternoon Xiahou Yuan went to the hillside to fight again, Liu Qi just held on, only to see that the morale of the defenders was low, and the situation of the two armies was reversed, and he was very relieved.
In the afternoon, Xun You sent troops to transport grain, but ordered someone to bring a message, for the sake of safety, asked Xiahou Yuan to return to the camp to guard the camp, in case Liu Qi had other tricks.
Xiahou Yuan laughed and said: "The military advisor is too worried, he has already taken precautions, let him Liu Qi send people down the mountain, and don't think about winning again." ”
Xiahou Shang nodded and said: "The military advisor doesn't know the wonder of my uncle's use of soldiers, and now there are two villages before and after, who dares to come to rob the camp, so that he will not come back." ”
Xiahou Yuan was quite complacent, and said proudly: "I don't think about how to defend the camp today, but need a strategy to break the enemy. ”
Then he ordered someone to truthfully report to Xun You, and asked him to guard the camp and the grain and grass, and make plans to break the enemy.
He also ordered Feng Kai to set up a trap trench in the front camp, and divided into three teams to patrol the camp in turn at night, so as to ensure that the camp was foolproof.
