Not allowed to play?

Don't allow him Xiahou Yuan to fight?

What does this mean?

When the voice of the herald came out, Xiahou Yuan, who was about to get on the horse, shouted, "Why doesn't the king allow me to leave the customs? I, Xiahou Yuan, have always taken the lead, and I will definitely be at the forefront in every battle? I don't go out? How did the soldiers sell their lives? ”

It was as if Xiahou Yuan was questioning the herald.

It seems that because Cao Cao issued a death order, and repeated orders, so this herald was neither humble nor arrogant, and directly met Xiahou Yuan's gaze, "The king only said that General Xiahou was not allowed to go out of the customs, and did not mention the reason. But if you get out of the customs, it will be against the king's order! ”

"The general will not be subject to the order of the monarch outside, today is a matter of success or failure, victory or defeat, this general has no reason to shrink the city!"

Xiahou Yuan's words came out again, and his tone was excited, but there was a-for-tat flavor with this herald.

At this moment when the sudden cold atmosphere quickly enveloped here...

Jia Xu seemed to hear something, he "chirped" his mouth, and muttered for a moment, as if through a swift brain circuit, he figured it out, and also figured out the intention of the king's edict, and immediately, he took a step.

"General Xiahou must not be irritable..."Jia Xu persuaded: "Who doesn't know, the general led the Shensu battalion for three days five hundred, six days and one thousand, each battle is in the front, the soldiers are inspired by the general, so each fight to the death, this is also a beautiful talk in my Great Wei army, but... It's not the same as it used to be. ”

"The general is facing the 200,000 soldiers and horses of the big-eared thief today, and the Shu army is advancing in three ways, although the general can go out of the city to defeat the big-eared thief, but if the battle at Yangpingguan breaks out? Or did the enemy suddenly leave the city from Xiacheng and secretly exit the customs? The sudden occurrence of these situations requires the general to sit in Yangping Pass and strategize, this battle... The general is the commander, and the matter of charging into battle is the duty of the general! ”

It seems that Jia Xu's words successfully persuaded Xiahou Yuan.

Although Jia Xu didn't have this in mind, there is no doubt that... This remark is extremely effective.

"What Wen He said is reasonable..."Xiahou Yuan's posture of turning over and getting on the horse was immediately retracted, he turned around, looked at the third son Xiahou and said: "Cheng'er, you go for your father..."

"I...", Xiahou said that he didn't expect that his father would give him such an important task.

Xiahou Yuan was resolute: "In the past, you hunted with the king, bent your bow and arrows, and the tigers that attacked the king died under your arrows?" Now, it's just to stop an army of starvation? Is this a tiger that has had its minions removed? How? So you don't dare? ”

Xia Hou said that he was so provoked, and immediately defended: "The father is wrong to blame the child, the child just thinks... In terms of seniority, such a great credit should not fall to the child..."

Xiahou Yuan bowed his head, and the solemn expression on his face remained unchanged, "When my father raised troops with your uncle Chen Liu, and pursued Dong Zhuo, it was also the first time to lead troops to punish thieves, and he fought a decisive battle on the battlefield, without retreating!" Today, for my father to sit in the Chinese army, this monstrous credit will be given to you! Let your uncle listen, you can not only shoot the tiger, but also capture the big-eared thief! ”

His father's words completely stirred up Xiahou Cheng's emotions, his chest rose and fell, and he solemnly clenched his fists, "Order!" ”

However, Zhang He's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was a little hesitant because of Cao Cao's military order.

- "Could it be that the king predicted the danger of this battle?"

I don't know if it's because I'm suspicious, or if it's something else...

Immediately, Zhang He frowned and reminded: "The king has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, he is well versed in the way of using soldiers, and he is proficient in the art of using soldiers. If there is no doubt about fraud, it will not be too late for me to send troops to intercept and kill again! ”

"Three days..."Xiahou Yuan's brows tightened, "Three days, if it is the general's speed battalion, it will be enough to retreat to Zitong?" When the time comes, there will be no one left? What else is being intercepted? ”

Speaking of this, Xiahou Yuan looked at Zhang He mockingly, and asked with a smile: "General Zhang was originally the vanguard of our army, how... After breaking an arm in that Bameng Mountain, don't you dare to go out to fight and attack the enemy? If this is the case, it doesn't matter, General Ben only let his eldest son lead the army forward, and General Zhang will stay in this pass and enjoy the leisurely comfort in this comfortable nest! ”

It's rhetoric, it's a mockery...

Such words directly angered Zhang He, "I have been in the army for 30 years, and I fought a decisive battle on the battlefield, how could I have flinched?" It's just that today is different, the king will not issue such an edict for no reason, and we need to think long-term about this battle! Don't be careless about the enemy, one misstep will turn into a thousand hatreds! ”

Xiahou Yuan nodded, "Think about it in the long run?" Hmph, what's the point of thinking about this? The Shu army ran out of food, could it be... Can food fall from the sky and smash into the army of the big-eared thieves? Talking so much nonsense, are you going to be a pioneer or not? You don't do? Some are generals doing it? It's just that when the time comes, I'm afraid that the army will say, why didn't General Zhang break his arm? This is to lose all the heart in Bameng Mountain! ”

Zhang He was speechless for a while, but he didn't want to bear such a reputation, so he had to raise it with one hand.

"Okay, then I'll go!"

Hearing Zhang He's relent, Xiahou Yuan laughed slowly, and patted Zhang He's shoulder with one hand, "General Zhang, my two sons have gone, if it weren't for the king's edict, I would also be the vanguard, go out on the expedition, and take the lead, you won't think that this general is trying to harm you!" ”

Xiahou Yuan is a righteous person, and he can see one or two from the fact that he was able to apologize for the murderous Cao Cao when he was young.

He only has the eldest brother in his heart, and he only has the big Wei...

On the contrary, Zhang He skillfully transformed into an enemy, and he was a general who was good at thinking and had many eyes.

Can... Xiahou Yuan has said everything here, what else can he do, he can only say solemnly.

"Don't worry, general, this battle has me, and there is no defeat—"

Speaking of this, the generals who had been ordered turned over and went to order the troops, and Jia Xu, who noticed some clues, wanted to say something to Zhang He, such as "Be careful", but when the words came to his lips, he still swallowed back.

He had to mutter.

- "It seems that the king is afraid of that guy!"

- "Come to think of it, the king is not sure, this Hanzhong battle, whether Guan Lin is involved in it, but after all... The king doesn't want to let go of such a God-given opportunity to exterminate the Shu army, if so... It is always better to let the disabled Zhang He test it than to lose the hussar general!"

Thinking of this, Jia Xu's eyes flickered.

It's like, Cao Cao's thoughts, the scheming Jia Xu, his heart... Clearly.

Perhaps, this is another form - Dead Dao Friend, Immortal Poor Dao!

…

…

200,000 Shu troops withdrew.

It's not an easy thing to do, the extremely difficult mountain trails, the bloated and long queues, none of them... The pace of evacuation will not be slowed down again and again.

Huang Zhong didn't know what the plan was, and looked at the team and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Retreat like this, when will this retreat, don't say it's two days' food, even if it's ten more days' food, I'm afraid it won't be enough to retreat to Zitong." ”

Zhao Yun said with relief on the side: "Old General Huang can rest assured, it won't take ten days, two days... Almost. ”

It seems that Zhao Yun, who knows all the truth, is more calm and has a calmer mentality.

Huang Zhong still wanted to ask, but he heard the voice of Zhao Yun commanding the soldiers, "Quick, come over two squads... Pluck the wild fruit of this tree... Move fast..."

With Zhao Yun's orders, there were really two teams of soldiers and horses climbing trees.

From a distance, this army was on the march, climbing trees to pick fruits, digging forage, and it was both busy and funny! Where else should an army be!

On the other side, Zhang He and Xiahou said that they each took cavalry, and while galloping, they nervously listened to the six roads and watched in all directions.

In this kind of chase battle, the mobility advantage of the Wei cavalry was fully demonstrated.

"General..."A soldier reported: "There is a team of Shu troops five miles ahead, about 10,000 people, but the soldiers are depressed, have no fighting spirit, and even... Under the orders of the enemy general, they also searched for wild fruits and weeds along the way... The whole thing looks like a rabble. ”

Listen so commanded...

Xiahou Heng was eager to try, "Okay, such a weak army, I will wait for a pursuit, I am afraid that it will collapse directly, so why do we need the repeated harassment mentioned by Mr. Jia?" ”

Zhang He was a little suspicious, he had suffered losses in Bameng Mountain, and he had paid a big price, including an arm.

Therefore, he was very cautious, seeing that Xiahou Heng was about to order an assault, Zhang He hurriedly raised his hand, "Slow!" The more times like this, the more cautious we must be, keep a distance of five miles first, continue to investigate, and report at any time..."

"Whoa..."

Seeing that the guards were about to give orders, Xiahou Heng was reluctant, and his brows condensed.

"If you are frightened everywhere? How else can this stop the enemy army? If General Zhang is afraid, then stay here, this assault battle, I will fight, no matter whether it is won or lost... It has nothing to do with General Zhang! ”

"You..."Zhang He also wanted to explain.

But he saw that Xiahou Heng had already drawn his sword: "Sons, kill with me-"

…

…

The scout rode back to Yangping Pass to report to Xiahou Yuan.

"General Hussar, General Zhang and Heng Gongzi have caught up with the nearest Shu army, General Zhang's troops are not moving, Heng Gongzi has led the army forward, won a complete victory, and won countless baggage, armor, and weapons!"

Hearing this, Xiahou Yuan turned his gaze to Jia Xu, as if asking what Jia Xu meant.

Jia Xu was the first to ask: "How long did the Shu army resist?" ”

"For a moment!" The scout replied truthfully: "In a few moments, the Shu army was all defeated and collapsed... Throw away the armor and flee, the entire pursuit battle, the Shu army has no will to fight! ”

Hearing this, Xiahou Yuan shouted excitedly: "Okay, good... It seems that it is true that the Shu army is running out of food, otherwise even if the big-eared thief is not good at governing the army, but he has generals such as Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Ma Chao under his command, how can he collapse so easily! Hahahaha, Heng'er fought well in this battle, but Zhang He seemed a little too cautious! ”

Xiahou Yuan's words, Jia Xu was noncommittal, he pondered for a moment, and then said lightly: "General Zhang has suffered losses, so it is understandable to be cautious, besides..."

Just as Jia Xu opened his mouth...

"Report..."Another scout came with the news, "Heng Gongzi intercepted and killed a group of Shu troops non-stop, and the Shu army still collapsed overnight, throwing away armor..."

Not...

The news came out like this, so that Jia Xu's words around the word "cautious" that he was about to say immediately swallowed back.

He groaned for a moment, and finally his closed lips never opened again.

He thought to himself.

- "Wait, wait."

Oh, yes... Don't you just have to wait!

There were only two such sieges, and there would be many more such sieges to come.

One... Can the Shu army keep pretending?

The two of them, Shangyong and Shuzhong's intelligence are all four words: "nothing happens to each other"...

In such a situation, the Shu army... Food for 200,000 people? It can't just appear out of nowhere, right?

Just as Jia Xu was groaning and pondering.

"Report..."Another scout arrived, "General... The third prince set out from Yangping Pass to intercept and kill Zhang Bao's department, the vanguard of the Shu army, and won a complete victory, capturing countless baggage, weapons, and armor——"

It's not just Xiahou Heng who has made great gains and victories one after another.

Xiahou Yuan's third son, Xiahou, said that over there, it is also a good news!

"Hahahaha..."Xiahou Yuan couldn't help laughing at this moment.

He didn't speak, but in his unbridled laughter, it seemed to be full of lines:

- "Sure enough, the tiger father has no dogs!"

…

…

Xiahou Heng and Xiahou said that they had won the battle.

Zhang He always kept a distance of five miles from Xiahou Heng, and was ready to rush to help at any time.

A scout came to report, "General, Master Heng has won another big victory... This is already ... It's the sixth wave of Shu troops that have been intercepted, and all the Shu troops are vulnerable! ”

"Report..."Just when the piece of information arrived, another scout came one after another, "General Yu, said that Gongzi had arrived at the predetermined place from Yangping Pass, set up camp, and stuck to the main point, the Shu army came to attack several times, not only did it return in vain, according to the spies' report, there are many people in the Shu army who complain about food and the situation, and there are faint signs of mutiny!" ”

Call...

Hearing this, Zhang He's eyes narrowed, and he stretched out his only remaining arm and opened his palm.

The deputy general beside him hurriedly handed over a simple map.

Zhang He flicked his wrist and unfolded the map, he glanced at the way that the Shu army must pass to retreat, and then stared at the main place where Xiahou was stationed, and after a moment of silence, he muttered: "If the Shu army is a plan, then the two Xiahou sons won a big victory in one or two interceptions, it is understandable, but the Shu army withdrew into pieces, and returned with six defeats in a row, and there were many complaints in the army... This food shortfall doesn't look like a fake! ”

With Zhang He's words.

The adjutant general beside him stepped forward, "General, if our army does not move again, then all the credit will belong to the two sons of Xiahou, and when the time comes, the general's past exploits and prestige will be... I'm afraid it's..."

Don't wait for the lieutenant to finish speaking.

"Newspaper... General..."Another scout arrived, "Xiahou Henggongzi found Zhang Fei's evacuated army in front, and it seems that some soldiers complained, that Zhang Fei was whipping the public!" Xiahou Heng Gongzi planned to launch a surprise attack on Zhang Fei's army in a quarter of an hour! ”

Not... Zhang Fei!

This name made Zhang He's heart throb suddenly...

Immediately, the Bameng Mountain... The inky figure in the dark night, the brave and fearless Shu army, and the eternal nightmarish picture all lingered in front of his eyes.

It was this Zhang Fei who recovered the three bars he was holding onto, and it was this Zhang Fei who broke his arm!

Humiliation... This is a great humiliation!

Nightmare, he has also become the nightmare of his life-

And there's only one way to shatter this nightmare, and that's with your own hands... Crush him with your own hands!

Immediately, Zhang He raised his hand, "The matter has come to this, our army does not need to be cautious, pass on our military order, and immediately join forces with Xiahou Henggongzi to intercept and kill that Zhang Snitcher, all Shu troops, regardless of killing——"

As he spoke, "Drive-"

With a roar from Zhang He, the horse neighed, galloped and rushed forward, and a cadre of personal guards immediately followed.

More soldiers moved in an instant.

It's also strange to say, Fang Cai was still extremely cautious, cautious, and the team of soldiers and trees suddenly had a fine light in their eyes, sharpening their knives.

During this period, when he was about to get close to the enemy, a crow startled, Zhang He nervously raised his knife, but the voice of the sentry in front of him sounded in the distance, "General, there is no ambush!" ”

Zhang He put away his nervousness at this time, he felt that he was too much heart...

That's when ...

"Kill..."

The sound of shouting and killing had already reached his ears, and it turned out that the soldiers and horses of Xiahou in front had already fought with Zhang Fei's soldiers and horses.

"General, it seems that the time has come..."

A lieutenant reminded Zhang He, Zhang He pondered for a moment, and then his heart was crossed, he raised the big knife, and commanded loudly: "Up..."

I saw Zhang He taking the lead and shouting loudly: "The guerrillas are scattered, don't come and die soon-"

…

Shuzhong, Chengdu.

In a claustrophobic courtyard, a crisp male voice rang out.

"Kill me? Or let me go? Kill or not kill, let go and not let go? Why are you keeping me here? ”

Along with this sound came a "crackling" sound.

All the food that the soldiers brought into this room was smashed to the floor.

"Kill me? You tell that Zhuge Liang, Shi can be killed, not humiliated, I am the son of the Xiahou family, I was born as a person of the Great Wei, and died as the soul of the Great Wei, I swear not to surrender, kill me, I Xiahou Ba will never surrender! ”

The one who was shouting in the house was Xiahou Yuan's second son, Xiahou Ba...

Since he was captured by Huang Zhong when the Shu army was crossing the water, he was escorted to Liu Bei's Chinese army at the first time.

Liu Bei directly arranged soldiers to send Xiahou Ba to Shuzhong because of the special identity of the Xiahou family, and Zhuge Liang took over...

Zhuge Liang didn't dare to slack off, so he confined him in a secluded courtyard, although there were soldiers guarding the periphery, but there was no difference in food and clothing, and he could also move freely in the courtyard.

At first, Xiahouba's mood was relatively stable, and at most he always closed his eyes and stared, bowing his head and making a depressed appearance.

But over time...

I don't know if it's because of the boredom of the mood, or if the claustrophobic space is easy to make people chaotic.

Xiahouba's emotions exploded all of a sudden...

After all, he is still a proud member of the Xiahou family!

"Kill me... You killed me, I am a descendant of the Xiahou family, I am glorious... The son of the glorious Xiahou family—"

"Kill me—"

In the midst of this hysterical sound, the door was pushed open with a "clang", and then a white silk wrapped in stone was thrown in from outside the door.

A female voice followed.

"Die! Isn't it asking for death? This white silk is here? Enough for you to hang yourself..."

"Pick it up, isn't it backbone? Isn't it the glorious Xiahou family? What, don't move? ”

With this crisp female voice...

A woman with a graceful figure and a grim face walked in through the door.

The guards at the door bowed their hands in unison.

"The Third Lady—"

"Madame Xiahou—"

These different titles are all the titles of this woman, and the third lady refers to the wife of the three generals, who is her current husband's family!

Mrs. Xiahou... interprets her lintel.

This woman is Xiahou Juan.

"My own woman, you need not bow to me..."

Xiahou Juan said to the soldier beside her, and then stared at Xiahou Ba, and after a while, she groaned, "What? Zhong Quan... Don't recognize me? In the past, when I went to Xuchang City outside the city of Xuchang to inspect the materials, who had to chase me, and cried and cried, without the appearance of a man! ”

This...

When these words came out, when Xiahou Juan walked into Xiahou Ba more and more...

This made Xiahou Ba exclaim, and he exclaimed incomparably stumbling, "Sister... Sister—"
