The next day, the sky was hazy and bright, the snare drum had not sounded, and under Chen Zhi's shout, Huo Jun got up from his sleep.

"Uncle Zhi, could it be that Xuande Gong has something to call for?" Huo Jun asked as he yawned and washed with cold water.

Chen Zhi put on his armor and said: "Huo Jun, according to the report of the scout in front, Cao Cao sent Xiahou Dun as the commander, and Li Dian and Yu Ban as generals, leading 20,000 troops. From Xuchang to the south, facing our army. ”

Hearing this, Huo Jun's mind cleared up a lot, and after a simple wipe, he said: "Jun is not a general, nor is he a military Chinese officer. The secret of the army is to let Jun senate, I am afraid that you will be surprised. ”

Huo Jun's current identity is embarrassing, he is not loyal to Liu Bei, nor is he Liu Bei's subordinate, let alone a lieutenant general. To go to the meeting, it is not in line with the courtesy. If it is approved by coach Liu Bei, the situation is different.

"The lord has a saying, Huo Jun has great talents, and it should be beneficial to go to the discussion." Chen Zhi said truthfully.

Huo Jun pretended to hesitate a little and said, "Since this is the case, Jun should follow it." ”

With permission, Huo Jun quickly packed up his clothes and went out of the camp under the guidance of Chen Zhi.

When they got out of the tent, they found that it was still sunny, and the sun had been shining for several days.

"It's hot again in the afternoon!" Huo Jun thought so much in his heart, and then thought of the next war. If there is no mistake, Liu Bei should burn the camp as in history, and then withdraw the army, pretending to defeat the enemy.

Approaching the big tent door, I saw that the burly general who was longer than his chest also arrived at the tent gate.

"I've seen the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion!" Huo Jun took the lead in greeting and saluting.

Guan Yu frowned slightly when he saw Huo Jun participating in the discussion. He generally thought that this was the person invited by his eldest brother, so he didn't say anything, and returned the favor to Huo Jun.

Entering the camp tent, Liu Bei sat in the center, the civil and military generals on both sides sat side by side, Guan Yu was the chief, and Mi Fang was second. And Huo Jun was seated in the side seat of the military meeting, close to Liu Bei, away from everyone.

When everyone arrived, Liu Bei looked around at everyone and asked: "Today, Cao Cao sent Xiahou to fight, Li Dian and Yu Ban are deputy generals, and 20,000 soldiers are far better than us, I don't know how you think you should break the enemy?" ”

Liu Hu, who came from Liu Biao's account, showed a worried look on his face and said: "General Zuo, our army has no more than 10,000 soldiers, and now the army has broken through the blocking sun and approached Yecheng, so our army might as well retreat to avoid its edge." ”

"Lord, Cao Cao has won a big victory over Hebei, and the morale of the soldiers is high, so you need to be careful against the enemy." Zhao Yun reminded.

Zhang Fei snorted lightly and said: "What is so fearful about Blind Xiahou, his unified army has not won a single victory so far, but he is a general!" ”

The Xiahoudun in history is different from the romance, the Xiahoudun in history has almost been defeated repeatedly, losing to Lu Bu, defeating Gao Shun, and almost no victory. During a battle with Lü Bu, Xiahoudun was kidnapped as a hostage by the enemy and his men (Note (1)).

However, Cao Cao's most trusted person was Xiahoudun, who went out to fight in the early days, and almost always stayed with Xiahoudun to guard his home. Xiahoudun said that he was a general, but in fact, he was too obedient to his duties.

"What is Yun Chang's opinion?" Liu Bei asked.

Guan Yu stroked his beard and said, "Xiahou is not worried, Li Dian and Yu Ban are strong enemies. The elder brother may be able to lure Xiahoudun to let his Xingshi approach, and then find an opportunity to break it. ”

Xu Shu also responded to the harmony and said: "Lord, the enemy is outnumbered, luring the enemy to go deeper, and attacking it separately should be the strategy to break the enemy." ”

Listening to everyone's remarks, Liu Bei already had a plan in his heart, and when he caught a glimpse of Huo Jun in his thoughts, he asked with a sense of urgency: "Zhong Miao is good at judging the situation, and he is also known as a soldier, but I don't know if there is a strategy to break the enemy?" ”

Huo Jun's ability to look at the overall situation made Liu Bei see it. But Liu Bei wanted to see how capable Huo Jun was in terms of tactics, after all, Wang Cang had blown him before and had the ability to fight Wu Qi.

As soon as the words fell, Huo Jun felt the eyes of everyone in the tent, especially Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Huo Jun, who didn't want to speak, had to speak when he saw this situation, and said: "Qi Liu Yuzhou, Xiahoudun led the troops to win less, and he was ashamed. ”

Liu Bei raised his eyebrows slightly, Huo Jun's strategy to break the enemy, how could it be exactly the same as what he thought, he didn't reveal outsiders!

However, in order to prevent Huo Jun's blind cat from stepping on the dead mouse, Liu Bei asked again: "How can Zhong Miao predict that Xiahou will definitely advance lightly against the enemy, you must know that he has Li Dian and Yu Ban to assist." ”

After a little muttering, Huo Jun said: "As General Zhang said, Xiahoudun has no ability to lead the troops, and he has not won a victory so far. Therefore, he often has a heart of shame, is blind in one eye, and is irritable. Our army burned the baggage, made a look of fear, and led the troops to withdraw and make them chase after them. If you chase it, you will set up an ambush, and if you set an ambush, you can defeat it. ”

"If they don't pursue, the enemy will have 20,000 people, and our army will be alone in the depths, and it will be difficult to defeat them. should retreat, send a letter to Liu Jingzhou, and ask him to send troops to support, and then confront Xiahoudun. The Art of War: "You can't win against yourself, you can win against the enemy." "That's it, the soldiers are few and weak, and the undefeated should be the first, and the second is to win."

Huo Jun's words are not difficult to understand, he thinks that the current army is not more than 10,000 people, and Xiahoudun has 20,000 people, so it is advisable to make himself invincible. At the same time, he took the opportunity to make a look of fear and lured this Xiahoudun, who had never won a battle, to pursue.

If Cao's army pursues, it is Xiahoudun who gives him a chance to defeat him; If Cao's army does not pursue, it means that Xiahoudun does not give a chance, and the army should receive follow-up support before using troops.

Listening to Huo Jun's discussion, Liu Bei looked at Huo Jun carefully, and the idea of including him under his command became stronger and stronger. He himself has been using soldiers for more than ten years, and he has dealt with Xiahoudun many times before he came up with this similar strategy.

And the young man in front of him was only in his twenties, and he could offer a strategy to defeat the enemy for the first time, he had an indescribable intuition, and the ability that Huo Jun showed seemed to be far beyond his imagination.

Not only Liu Bei, but Guan Yu also squinted his eyes and looked at Huo Jun in amazement, he was still in his twenties and was still killing people and taking refuge, but the young man named Huo Jun in front of him was already able to offer a strategy to defeat the enemy!

When he came back to his senses, Liu Bei coughed lightly and said, "Zhong Miao's meaning is also what to think about!" The three armies were ordered to burn the barracks, show the enemy weakness, and the whole army retreated, luring Xiahoudun to go deeper. ”

Huo Jun shrugged his shoulders in private, he didn't want to offer Liu Bei's strategy, when the situation was concerned, it seemed that Liu Bei's strategy was the most appropriate. It's a pity that Liu Bei's strategy was not robbed by Zhuge Liang, but was used by himself.

"No!"

……

A few days later, Cao's army under the banner of 'Xiahou' appeared in the burned camp.

The one-eyed Xiahou Dun rode his horse to look around the camp of Liu Jun with broken wood, and said with a sneer: "Liu Bei's guy knows that he is invincible, but he is swift, burns the baggage, and walks away lightly, not to fight with our army." ”

"How many days has Liu Bei been gone?" Xiahoudun asked.

"General Hui, yesterday Liu Bei knew that most of our army was coming, so he ordered someone to burn down the camp and lead the army to retreat south." The scout replied.

Xiahoudun held the reins, looked at the southern avenue, and ordered: "Select elite soldiers to run with me, catch up with Liu Bei, and take his head." ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Diance immediately stepped forward and dissuaded: "General, slow down!" Liu Bei is not a person who does not know soldiers, he has fought for many years and is resolute in his use of soldiers. Now there is no reason to withdraw the army, and there is a fear that there will be ambushes. Fangcheng Xia Road is narrow, with dense vegetation and trees, which is convenient for ambush, and should not be pursued deeply. ”

Hearing this, Xiahoudun hesitated slightly, and hesitated.

"General, the thief army has a letter!"

The soldier presented a letter, and Xiahoudun opened it and looked at it, almost bleeding out of breath. This is a letter left by Zhang Fei to himself, which not only scolded him as a blind Xiahou, but also threatened to rob his daughter as his wife next time.

He hated others for saying that he was blind Xiahou the most in his life, and Zhang Fei robbed Xiahou Yuan's niece as his wife, which also made him feel humiliated. With the blessing of the two, Xiahoudun became angry and strengthened his idea of pursuing Liu Bei.

"Bastard!"

Xiahoudun threw the letter to the ground and said angrily: "Wen Ze (Yu Ban) pursues with me, and he will kill Zhang Fei to snow the shame of my Xiahou family." ”

"No!"

"General?"

Before Li Dian could speak, he saw Xiahou Dun riding his horse away, and he also shook his head helplessly.

He also didn't know what to say about the prime minister's dispatch of Xiahoudun as the main general, perhaps because of Yuan Shao's death, the situation in Hebei changed greatly. In order to brush up Xiahoudun's military exploits, the prime minister arranged for himself and Yu Ban to assist Xiahoudun, and let him lead the army to meet Liu Bei.

But who is Liu Bei? Who is Xiahoudun?

One is Lao Ge, who moved to the Central Plains, and the other is a blind and often defeated general.

Considering that Xiahoudun was a close confidant among the prime minister's cronies, Li Dian didn't dare to let Xiahoudun just take such a risk, if he died in battle, his career would probably come to an end.

"The old and weak are camped, and the sharp soldiers come with the pawn." Li Dian commanded.

"No!"

The old and weak soldiers of the Cao army camped on the spot, and Li Dian led the elite to follow closely behind Xiahoudun.

(1): "Romance of the Three Kingdoms: The Biography of Xiahoudun": "The cloth was returned, and then entered Puyang, and the army was heavily attacked. Send the generals to surrender falsely, hold on to the throne, and be responsible for the treasures, and the army will be terrified. ”
