When Xiahou Yuan walked out of the room, Jia Xu did not forget to instruct loudly, "General Xiahou, the former General Yuanrang (Xiahou Yuan) suffered a big loss at the hands of this Huang Zhong, don't be careless!" ”

Regarding Jia Xu's instructions, Xiahou Yuan only stopped slightly, signaling that he heard it, and then walked out of the room.

Outside the house, Xiahou Yuan's eldest son Xiahou Heng and second son Xiahou Ba walked towards them.

Xiahou Ba saw his father and couldn't wait to say, "Dad, I heard that there was also the black-faced ghost Zhang Fei who came to invade Hanzhong this time, and my sister was taken captive by him back then... No matter what this time, I have to teach him a hard lesson! ”

"yes!" Xiahou Heng also sighed, "When Juan'er's sister was taken away, she was forced to give birth to a son and a daughter for the black-faced ghost, which is a great shame for my Xiahou family. In any case, he can't be spared! It's better to capture him alive and exchange him for a big sister! ”

When Xiahou Yuan heard Xiahou Juan's name, his originally calm face couldn't help but stir up a few waves.

He sighed "sigh", and then said, "The folk always say, 'Marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog,' today's Juan'er... I'm afraid it's no longer your sister... However, you are right, this revenge of the abductive girl is impossible to uncover in the past, and our Xiahou family should also settle it for him! ”

When it came to the end, especially the four words "the revenge of the captive girl", Xiahou Yuan's face changed and he became gritted his teeth.

It's like...

Although he didn't say it, Xiahou Yuan missed this daughter, and it was precisely because of the depth of love and hatred that he hated Zhang Fei who separated their father and daughter!

Jia Xu heard this conversation in the room, and couldn't help but step out of the door, reminding: "General Miaocai, don't be angry, the hatred between the general and that Zhang Fei is a personal enmity, but what the general wants to do today is a national feud... It was the first battle between Wei and the False Han in the decisive battle on the Western Front... Besides, the opponent of this battle is Huang Zhong, not that Zhang Fei, General Xiahou must remember to be calm and think twice about everything, this battle... You can only succeed, not fail! ”

Hear this...

I don't know if it was the rhetoric of "national enmity" or "decisive battle" that stimulated Xiahou Yuan, or whether the abduction of his adopted daughter Xiahou Juan aroused his anger.

Xiahou Yuan, a man with Shang Yiqi, his handsome cheeks suddenly became fierce.

"Haha..."

With a sarcastic laugh, he raised his big hand quite heroically, "If it is really that black-faced ghost, or Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi, because of the power of Sanba and Zitong, General Ben may still be a little jealous, but Huang Zhong?" Hahahaha... He's almost seventy, isn't he? As the saying goes, 'People are old and incompetent, and gods are old and spiritless!' 'I, Xiahou Yuan, am afraid of the sky, the earth, and the gods, but I am not enough to put an old man who has half a foot in the coffin in his eyes! Even if General Ben made him a hundred miles? He can't climb that Micang Mountain! ”

Speaking of this, Xiahou Yuan showed a domineering side, and he directly ordered, "Heng'er! Ba'er! ”

"The last general!" Xiahou Heng and Xiahou Ba immediately gave up.

"I order you two to immediately order 8,000 elites to follow me over Micang Mountain, set up an ambush on the side of the Han River, and wipe out this Huang Zhong and the vanguard of the Shu army!"

With Xiahou Yuan's orders, Xiahou Heng and Xiahou Ba handed over again, "The last general commands-"

It is not "the child who receives the order", but "the last general who receives the order".

People say that the military discipline in the Wei army is strict, but in Xiahou Yuan's speedy army, the military discipline is even stricter! If this were not the case, in the long history of the ancient rapid march, how easy would it be to say five hundred in three days and one thousand in six days?

It's just that...

Listening to Xiahou Yuan's words, Jia Xu couldn't help but have a little foreboding.

Eight thousand elite soldiers!

That's right, it's those 8,000 elite soldiers!

Thinking of this, Jia Xu hurriedly said: "General, now we are competing with the Shu army for speed, who will cross the Micang Mountain first, and travel lightly... It is the key to speeding up, and streamlining soldiers is also one of the keys, 8,000 elite soldiers... IMHO, it's not easy to dispatch in the mountains, and it's easy to expose your tracks when you gather together, so it's better ... Reduced to 3,000, such a speed is as fast as the wind, and there is no risk of leakage! What does General Miaocai think? ”

Jia Xu put forward a rather constructive experience.

He was born in Guanzhong, and successively served as a staff member under Dong Zhuo, Zhang Yang, Zhang Xiu, and Cao Cao, many of whom were stationed in mountainous cities like Wancheng...

He has some experience in mountain warfare.

But... It seems that Xiahou Yuan doesn't think so.

He waved his hand, "Wen He is too worried!" Hahahaha... Our opponent is not Zhang Fei who pacified Sanba, nor Ma Chao who made meritorious contributions, nor Changshan Zhao Zilong and Huang Zhong, who entered and exited seven times? Hahaha... This old guy, even if he used to be powerful in Jingnan? Now that he's old, wait for him to cross the rice cang mountain? Hehe... General Ben has already led the army to recover Sanba and pacify Shuzhong! ”

"Hahaha... Wenhe, you can stay at home with peace of mind! When I split off this Huang Zhong's head, let's write to my eldest brother together to ask for credit! ”

Speaking of this, Xiahou Yuan no longer ignored Jia Xu, and then ordered, "Pass on my military order, this time in a hurry, all the military baggage will be counted, and the soldiers who go out on the expedition will take care of it, carry their bags and baggage, and don't lose them-"

With Xiahou Yuan's last sentence... No, to be exact, it was the last exhortation...

The whole Yangpingguan was busy all of a sudden.

The soldiers of the soldiers, the inventory of the materials... It's a busy but orderly look.

Only Jia Xu, as Xiahou Yuan walked away, he let out a long exhale, as if he had fallen into some kind of reverie... But soon, he figured it out, and when he opened his eyes again, he muttered.

"It's fine, it's okay—"

…

…

At the foot of Micang Mountain, Huang Zhong's 3,000 rapid marches had already arrived here.

Before this, there were land routes, water routes, and even mountain roads, there were traces to follow... Easy to pass... Of course, even so, the fifteen-day journey was for Huang Zhong to complete in five days!

Soldiers... I'm already a little tired like a dog!

But...

From the Yonekura Mountain in front of me, tired... To no avail! Because there is no mountain road here, there is no trace to follow, everything... You have to rely on your own exploration and climbing.

Velocity... Expectedly, it will drop quite a bit.

"General? What is this for? ”

A group of disciples of the Wudou Mi Sect were originally monitoring Huang Zhong and his party, and reported the intelligence flying pigeon here to Hanzhong...

But now, they were escorted to Huang Zhong as "prisoners".

In fact, these Wudou Mi Sect's Tanma were easily discovered.

Because Huang Zhong ran too fast, most of his soldiers were Jingnan brothers, Jingnan was mountainous, and he fought against rebellion back then... No less rushing in the mountains!

It can be described as the wind and experienced...

On the other hand, these disciples of the Five Dou Mi Sect were not sergeants, so where had they received such rapid training in the mountains.

Before he could send the information out, he was already dragged down by Huang Zhong, and he used a little trick... It's easy to capture them alive!

Huang Zhong, on the other hand, was still looking at the majestic and precipitous Micang Mountain, until the captive made this sound... His pupils slowly lowered from the vast mountains.

He didn't rush to speak, but squinted his eyes and looked at the Daoist captive of the Five Dou Mi Sect in front of him.

Inexplicably scrutinized, the eyes of these captives showed panic and worry, and one of them mustered up the courage to ask, "General... You... What are you doing with us here? ”

"You've all been requisitioned—" Huang Zhong squinted his eyes and blurted out a word.

"Ahh

The captives were taken aback, and then... You look at me, I look at Ling, the second monk looks confused.

"I heard that you all live in Ziyang County, and the lord is afraid that you will be captured... affected the family, so he took Ziyang County down by the way..."

This...

Now, these captives understand and dare to love... The old general in front of him was blackmailing them with their Ziyang County.

Can...

For a while, these Taoists looked at each other again, but their eyes were confused, as if they were panicked, as if they had all turned into headless flies, and they didn't know where to bump in.

Speaking of... If judged from the maps of later generations, Micang Mountain is on the border of Shaanxi, Gansu and Sichuan, bordering Motianling in the west and Daba Mountain in the east.

Mt. Rice Cang is also the watershed of the Han River and the Jialing River...

Broadly speaking, he is the same as Dingjun Mountain, which is a section of the Bashan Mountain Range, but in a narrow sense, it is Ziyang County that divides Daba Mountain and Micang Mountain into two, called Micang Mountain in the west, and Daba Mountain in the narrow sense in the east!

Therefore, it is very likely that these captives from Ziyang County are familiar with the terrain of Micang Mountain and can act as guides.

"Take us over this Micang Mountain!" Huang Zhong once again made his request.

It's just that this time the tone is heavier?

"What are you doing turning over there?" A Taoist who doesn't know where he got the courage to ask such a sentence.

"After turning over, it is natural to capture Dingjun Mountain, and then capture Hanzhong and defeat the anti-Wei..."

This...

It seems that these words frightened the captives a little.

One by one, they shook their heads.

"Give it to them!" Huang Zhong waved his hand, and the deputy general Yan Yan hurriedly ordered the soldiers to take out the letters and tokens and present them to these prisoners.

The captives were first curious, and then looked closely to realize that this was actually a letter to their families.

It turned out that Ziyang County was really defeated, and it was Liu Bei and Fazheng's rear army who beat it down.

It's not just Ziyang County... Where Liu Bei from the rice cang... Passing through all the cities and counties, Liu Bei has beaten down, and he will show grace to the people, and then... Fa Zheng naturally asked the people here, do you have any family members who are soldiers in Wei? If so, write a letter home.

This is the method used by Liu Bei's army when he ventured through Micang Mountain in "The Legend of Yun Farewell"...

Undoubtedly, Fa Zheng practiced with Wancheng very well, and he told the people in Ziyang County that if they had the opportunity to meet their families in the anti-Wei army, he would hand over this letter to them, so that they could rest assured, and also persuaded them to stop fighting and go home! It's the New Year! Go home and reunite!

Really... These letterheads had the desired effect -

When he learned the detailed list of Huang Zhong's captives, Fa Zheng immediately sent someone to send these corresponding letters...

"Uhhhhhh

"Woo..."

"Woooooo

Immediately, some captives wept bitterly because they saw the handwritten letters from their family members... Some can't help but call.

"Mother..."

"Daughter-in-law..."

"I's... A baby in swaddling clothes..."

Huang Zhong saw that the time was almost up, and shouted: "I understand you, joining the Wudou Rice Sect is to live, to not be bullied, but what's the use of fighting against Wei?" Go home... Accompany the mother-in-law, mother-in-law, children... Whether it's farming or workmanship, anyway, we don't charge a poll tax for a son... I don't need you to make a big boy... And give you the distribution of ploughed fields? You are working hard, aren't you also for this? Hehe, I don't need to elaborate, what kind of goods is Cao thief? What kind of character is Uncle Liu? You've all heard of it, right? ”

It seems that under the catalyst of that letter to the family, Huang Zhong's resounding words infected them.

What's more, Uncle Huang promoted the addition of Ding into the mu... Decree abolishing the poll tax...

It's been passed on... It is widely spread throughout the Toshigawa!

Especially Hanzhong, in their word of mouth...

The people in a corner of Shu... I didn't dare to give birth now, but now I dare to give birth-

The complete freedom that was originally forced to be a tenant farmer to avoid taxes -

Originally, there was no land, but gradually I bought cheap land-

As long as you are diligent, in Shuzhong, under Uncle Liu Huang... After all, you can't starve to death.

This...

Seeing the emotion on everyone's cheeks, Huang Zhong raised his voice again: "Isn't there anyone who wants to go home?" Yes! Take us over the Micang Mountain, and General Ben will let you go home, and give you land and houses... In the future, if the Han Dynasty is prosperous, you will also be honored for this credit! ”

"Ahh Does no one want to go home? ”

Another roar, and now, someone has already raised their hands...

Gradually, more and more people raised their hands...

Huang Zhong's expression was not happy or angry, but his mood was different when he looked at the vast mountains again.

He secretly said in his heart:

- "Hehe, this "Cloud Farewell" is a bit interesting, it seems that there is a drama in Rice Cangshan!"

With this in mind, he commanded with a loud voice.

"Don't be stunned, hurry up and draw a sketch, get ready to climb the mountain, immediately climb the mountain-"

…

…

In Luoyang, in a cellar, a man and a woman are talking across the room.

Their identities seem to be rather mysterious...

But they know each other...

Without the slightest greeting, the two got straight to the point.

"When are you going to do it?"

It was a female voice who spoke...

The response was a male voice: "Five days later will be New Year's Day!" Then... I gave the thief a big gift! ”

"Who have you been notified of the plan? But don't learn from Uncle Dong Guo, the matter is leaked... Killed, implicated thousands! ”

"The notice is a notice, it's just... There is one person, Yunqi Gongzi can't believe it, and he has been told thousands of times to be careful of this person, but... But whether it's Wei Yan or Ji Ping... They all trust this person! ”

"The plan... Do you want to postpone it..."

"I have a way—"

…

…

Dingjun Mountain, Xiahou Yuan finally completed the assembly of soldiers and horses, and led 8,000 elites to move forward in the direction of Micang Mountain.

Jia Xu looked at these horses in Yangping Pass and couldn't help muttering.

"Why is it so slow?"

He didn't mean that... was heard by Zhang He on the side.

Zhang He explained for Xiahou Yuan, "Gathering 8,000 elites is not an easy task... What's more, according to General Xiahou, this is a mountain march, and food and all supplies must be raised in place... So it's a little slower, but..."

Speaking of this, Zhang He's eyes showed a gleam, "Once it really gallops, General Xiahou's speed battalion is still trustworthy, five hundred in three days, one thousand in six days, it's not a waste of fame!" ”

Zhang He's firm tone did not reduce Jia Xu's worries by one point.

Call...

Jia Xu exhaled faintly, and then shook his head while sighing with emotion: "It is said that Xiahou Yuan's march is five hundred in three days, and one thousand in six days, but if you count the day of preparation in advance, the speed... It's not that fast! ”

Jia Xu said...

Cao Xiu retorted: "It's already very soon... No one can go over the mountains and mountains at all costs, right? It's not the life of the soldiers... Are you kidding? ”

…

In Micang Mountain, Huang Zhong and his Jingnan soldiers had climbed thirty-five miles under the guidance of those captive guides.

The five soldiers in one "army" were really tired and hungry, and they set up their stoves and prepared to cook some food...

Who would have thought...

Before the fire was lit, there was a "bang", and the stove had already been kicked over by Huang Zhong, "General Ben didn't tell you, only dried meat and vegetables are allowed?" Don't make a fire to make food? Are you taking General Ben's words as a deaf ear? ”

"General... We..."

Without waiting for the soldier to speak.

"Hansheng... Never mind. Yan Yan on the side hurriedly opened his mouth, and he glanced at the soldiers of this "army", signaling them to move on...

Yan Yan explained to Huang Zhong: "It's another five-day rush, and it's over the mountains and mountains... The soldiers always take dry goods and cold water to satisfy their hunger, and their stomachs can stand it, but their butts can't stand it either! Don't say it's them, it's my old man's ass, and it's also a hot pain... The soldiers are greedy... Eat something boiled, understandable! ”

For Yan Yan's words, Huang Zhong sighed "sigh", and then continued to run forward quickly, while saying, "General Yan, you don't understand... We hit a surprise this time! If only the enemy's probe horses are pulled... But if we don't limit the smoke of the soldiers when they make food, the enemy will still know where we are! So..."

Speaking of this, Huang Zhong looked around at the army that was moving forward, and he said fiercely, "I can only let them endure it a little longer, and endure it a little longer!" ”

That's when ...

"Report..."A soldier dragged a flying pigeon in his hand, and unfolded a message with the other hand to report to Huang Zhong, "General Huang, I just got an urgent message... The enemy moved, Xiahou Yuan personally led the troops, and his sons Xiahou Heng and Xiahou Ba were deputy generals... He led an army of 8,000 and also came towards Mt. Rice Cang! ”

This...

"Eight thousand..."Huang Zhong subconsciously groaned.

"How?" Yan Yan was puzzled...

Huang Zhong explained: "If Xiahou Yuan also brings 3,000 people, then what we have to do is to seize the top of Micang Mountain, condescending, and we will definitely win... But if Xiahou Yuan brought 8,000 people, then we couldn't just seize the mountain! ”

"What do you mean?"

"We need to turn over completely, and set up an ambush in the water that surrounds the mountain below... Hit it halfway! ”

Yes... With Huang Zhong's words, Yan Yan exclaimed, "What do you mean?" We've got to go faster... It's almost enough to arrive before Xiahou Yuan arrives... Just go over Mt. Yonekura! ”

Call... Huang Zhong took a deep breath.

He is also weighing, but..."The Legend of the Cloud" has already written down the method of victory, what he wants to do... It's perfectly implemented!

Even though... It's an impossible task!

"Hahahaha..."Huang Zhong smiled again, he showed his optimistic "Huang Haha" side, "Others can't do it, we have to do it, pass on my military order, take off the armor, and only bring three days of dry food... Travel light! ”

"This..."Yan Yan was stunned...

Huang Zhong said seriously, "Old General Yan, don't forget, our opponent is Xiahou Yuan, who has five hundred in three days and one thousand in six days!" They all look down on us two old things, exactly... That's our chance! He Xiahou Yuan would never have thought that the speed of these two old bones of you and me could be even faster than him! ”

Don't look at Huang Zhong's age, but this sentence is loud...

Yan Yan is also an old man who refuses to accept the old, he clenched his fists, "Okay, this wave!" I've done it too, old man! Old man, I'll kill them—"

With these words, Yan Yan shouted: "Brothers, all of them have unloaded their baggage and armor, leaving only light bows and only three days' food, and before the moon rises today, they will climb over this mountain——"
