Liangshan, Cao Jun's camp.

"Report!"

The scout of Cao Jun walked quickly, rushed into the tent, and said in a panic: "General, a southern army came out of Nanxiang, went straight to Hanshan, and broke the checkpoint. Today, it has been stationed in Hanshan, with about 10,000 soldiers and horses. ”

"The soldiers and horses of the southern army are all in the Micang Mountain Road, and there are troops to seize Hanshan in Jin'an, is this not a joke?" Xiahou Yuan's eyes widened, his face was full of incredulity, and he said, "But Chenggu soldiers and horses? ”

"Don't dare to deceive, the southern army has about 10,000 people forcibly occupying Hanshan, and they don't dare to tell the truth." The scout replied with his head bowed.

"10,000 soldiers?"

Xiahou Yuan paced in the tent, looking anxious, afraid that the sudden attack of the southern army would ruin his plan to hold on to Hannan.

"Do you know the name of the enemy general?"

"The two flags of the tree, 'Chen' and 'Huang', the specific names are unknown." The scout said.

Sima Guohuai, the general of Zhengxi, saw Xiahou Yuan's anxiety and said comfortingly: "General, there are many Kongdao in Bashan, Zhang Fei once attacked Hanping Pass around Kongdao, and then took a small road out of Yangping Pass to kill Han Sui. It was difficult for the southern army to break through the general's headquarters, and there was nothing to be done, so it was not allowed to take a bypass. ”

"The importance of today's military should be to defeat the soldiers and horses of the Southern Army, so as not to attack from inside and outside, defeat General Junyi, seize the Micang Mountain Road, and lead the army of Ganning into Hanzhong."

Xiahou Yuan stopped pacing and said: "Junyi lives in the south, our army is in the north, and Hanzhong is in the middle of two mountains, and the heart of the southern army is clearly known. When you want to fight back and forth with Gan Ning, open up the Micang Mountain Road. Today, we are not afraid of the southern army and do not fight, but we should be afraid of the southern army and seek war, trying to break the fortress. ”

"Exactly!"

Guo Huai pondered a little and said: "The southern army raided Hannan, and there was not much grain and grass to carry and baggage, so it must be in a hurry to fight. However, the southern army crossed Bashan, and the sergeants were already tired, and our army waited for work, and now went to war, and it was a great benefit to our army. ”

Guo Huai has outstanding military ability and can perceive changes in the battlefield situation. Don't look at Huo Jun leading the army to attack Hannan and shock Hannan Cao's army. But after careful attention, the whole situation is still under Cao Jun's control, so there is no need to panic too much.

"Yes!"

Xiahou Yuan was thoroughly clicked by Guo Huai, slapped his palms with his fists, and said excitedly: "Wait for work with ease, and benefit our army." Our army should take advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold and storm Hanshan. Even if it is difficult to overcome, it is necessary to prevent it from flanking and not allowing the enemy army to enter Hanzhong. ”

During the discussion between the two, another scout entered the account and said: "General Qiyu, after the southern army captured Hanshan, there was no rest. Instead, the thief surnamed Chen led 5,000 elites down the mountain, and seemed to go to the Micang Mountain Road. ”

Xiahou Yuan's face changed again, and he said: "The head is stuck in the white yu, the elite armor is the elite white yu, it should be the elite white yu army under Liu Bei's account, and the general surnamed Chen should be Chen Dao." This person is in the Southern Army, and his name is second to Zhao Yun. ”

"The general surnamed Huang, can he have eyebrows?" Xiahou Yuan asked.

The scout said: "Most of the soldiers and horses under the general surnamed Huang are barbarians, mixed with Han soldiers, and they seem to be quite old. ”

Xiahou Yuan thought for a moment and said: "Liu Bei's generals surnamed Huang are elderly, except for Huang Zhong, there should be no one else. ”

Saying that, Xiahou Yuan analyzed and said: "Gan Ning was blocked by Micang Mountain, sent Huang Zhong and Chen to detour the trail to Hannan, Chen Zhi commanded the Bai Yu army to attack Jun Yi, and Huang Zhong guarded the weak soldiers to hold on to Hanshan Mountain to block our army's southern aid, this is the enemy's strategy!" ”

Zhao Ang reminded: "The enemy army has been rushing for a long time, and now it is in a hurry to seek war, which is really the way to die." The general could take advantage of this opportunity to send an army south to aid Zhang He, and lead a large army to encircle Hanshan, break the enemy's military might, and break the enemy's heart in Hanzhong. ”

Guo Huai coughed a few times and said: "General, when the enemy first arrived in Hanshan, Chen arrived in the south to attack the camp of Micang Mountain, so I am afraid that there will be fraud in it." Huai feared that the enemy would go and return, and fought back against the general's troops who surrounded Hanshan. ”

"Good!"

Xiahou Yuan bowed his head slightly, and said: "What you said is quite reasonable, I think that in today's situation, when the enemy's foothold is unstable, take advantage of the strong attack on Hanshan. When Hanshan is lost, Chen will be alone! ”

Xiahou Yuan looked around at everyone and ordered: "Today, Zhu Ling will lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to support Zhang He, and send more scouts out on the way, and be careful of the enemy ambush in the middle of the road." ”

"The rest of the generals will follow a certain rush to attack Hanshan, and they must not let the enemy gain a firm foothold."

Saying that, Xiahou Yuan looked at Guo Huai and said, "Boji is sick, so it is not suitable to fight today. The king led 2,000 men to hold the camp and wait for a certain victory to return to the camp. ”

"No!"

The crowd answered.

——

Han Mountain, known as the dry mountain in ancient times, is also known as the Han Mountain because of the Han water. Han Mountain is higher than Dingjun Mountain, and you can see the surrounding military strength when you climb to the top of the mountain.

Halfway up the mountain, Huo Jun and Huang Zhong were sitting on the rocks, discussing strategies to defend against the enemy.

Huang Zhong said worriedly: "General, our army has raided here, and we can camp in Hanshan to recover our strength and prepare for battle." However, the general asked General Chen to lead Bai Yu's troops to attack Zhang He in the south, and there were only 5,000 soldiers on the mountain. When the enemy works hard, it will be very disadvantageous to our army! ”

"Haha!"

Huo Jun sat cross-legged on the rock and said with a smile: "The old general only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other. The longer our army is stationed in Hanzhong, the more dangerous our army becomes. Cao Jun not only had 20,000 soldiers and horses under Xiahou Yuan's account in Hanzhong, but also Cao Hong and Ma Chao 30,000 soldiers. ”

"Tonight, if Xiahou Yuan transfers soldiers and horses from the north of Han to benefit the south of Han, if our army wants to break Xiahou Yuan, it will be more difficult!"

"Uncle Jin led the Bai Yu army to the south, and Xiahou Yuan was afraid that the rice warehouse camp would be broken, and he would definitely send the army to the south to help. Seeing that there are only 5,000 generals under the old general's account, and the Han and barbarians are mixed, we must remember that our army has an unstable foothold, and we must raise troops to attack Hanshan, or attack on the edge of the mountain, or set up a camp to settle down, this is the time to attack the enemy! ”

Fight the strong with the weak, and seize every available opportunity as much as possible. While Cao Jun was in a panic, he mobilized the enemy as much as possible and let the enemy act according to his intentions. If you miss the opportunity, you won't be able to mobilize the enemy.

For example, according to Huang Zhong's words, if you rest all night on Han Mountain and fight when the sergeant is physically strong, you may have more energy, but you will lose your information advantage.

Xiahou Yuan sent sergeants to support Zhang He, and the Micang Mountain camp was prepared in advance, so it was difficult to mobilize Xiahou Yuan with Chen's action to the south.

Huo Jun's words fully relieved Huang Zhong's doubts, and said with admiration: "The generals and soldiers skip people, if it is not for the generals to answer questions, it is difficult for Zhong to understand the mystery." ”

Huo Jun pointed to the mountain and said: "The people can fight well, and the mountains and rivers are like walking on the ground, and this elite is good at bows and crossbows." A certain will be a man to defend him, mixed with old and weak soldiers. The general led hundreds of elite horsemen to hide in the mountains, and waited for me to erect a big banner and see the direction of my banner before he could enter the battle and kill you! ”

"No!"

Huang Zhong was in good spirits and got up and answered.

At the beginning of the afternoon, Wang Ping ran down the hillside from the top of the mountain, walked halfway up the mountain, and said: "General, Xiahou Yuan led his troops to kill, and he will reach the foot of Han Mountain." ”

Huo Jun stood up from the stone rock and looked down the mountain, but he could see a black army in the distance, the foot soldiers were like ants gathering, and the horsemen were like swimming fish. In the queue, the spears and halberds are held high like a forest, and the flags cover the sun, and the momentum is quite huge.

"Xiahou Yuan?"

Huo Jun smiled faintly, but he didn't know what Xiahou Yuan would have if he knew that he appeared on this mountain?

Is it frightened, or is it frightened?

I'm afraid there will be no surprises!

With his hand on the hilt of his sword, Huo Jun commanded: "Zijun will act according to the plan!" ”

"No!"

Wang Ping had a serious face and replied.

For the 'general' in front of him, Wang Ping seemed to be aware of his true identity after following him for many days. However, the more he knew the identity of the general, the more serious and respectful Wang Ping became, and he did everything in the army himself, for fear that something would go wrong and anger the general.

Walking down the narrow mountain road, Wang Ping followed the greeting people and died in the mountains and forests to prepare for battle.

At this time, Cao's army had reached the foot of the Han Mountain, and the southern pawns, who were dressed as barbarians, abandoned the people who were taken away by them and ran up the mountain in fear. At the same time, there were also several civilians on the mountain, who took the opportunity to escape from the mountain.

The ranger caught a few people who knew the details, and after inquiring in detail, he took them to meet Xiahou Yuan. The rest of the rangers scattered around Han Mountain, watching the movements of the southern army on Han Mountain.

"General!"

The scout rode to Xiahou Yuan and reported: "Our army captured the fleeing civilians, who were forcibly plundered up the mountain by the southern thieves and built fortifications. Taking advantage of the confusion, the crowd ran down the mountain. ”

Xiahou Yuan waved his horsewhip and asked, "How is the situation on the mountain today?" ”

The people trembled and said, "General Qiyu, there should be thousands of people on the mountain, most of them barbarians, who want to build fortifications and hinder the lack of manpower, so they go down the mountain to plunder the people." ”

Xiahou Yuan squinted at Hanshan Mountain and asked, "Do you know how the sergeants, armor, equipment, and grain and grass on the mountain are?" ”

The people pondered for a long time and said: "General Qiyu, most of the barbarians are armless, and most of them hold bows and spears as soldiers. Han Chinese soldiers had armor, or leather armor, or iron armor. Among them, they carried a lot of grain and grass, which seemed to be edible for a long time. ”

"How steep is the road up the mountain?" Xiahou Yuan asked.

The people said: "The mountains are gentle from the west and north, and the slopes of the hills are steep in the east. ”

"Do you know the rest of the military?"

The people shook their heads, saying they knew so much!

Xiahou Yuan waved his hand to let the people go, and said, "The enemy is outnumbered, and the barbarians are recruited. But in danger, how can the barbarians serve the southern thieves! ”

Zhao Ang grabbed the reins and said, "General, I don't know what the strategy is when the soldiers go to Hanshan today?" ”

Xiahou Yuan pondered for a while and said: "Huang Zhong is driven by barbarians, barbarians have few military discipline, they are greedy for life and fear of death, if they are unfavorable, they will retreat, and if they are obedient, they will advance. If you send elites to attack the mountains and break the morale of their troops, they may be able to break the enemy and win. ”

As he spoke, Xiahou Yuan pointed to the north slope and said, "The barbarians mostly guard the north slope, and now they should feint to attack the west slope and actually attack the north slope." When the north slope is broken, Hanshan can be lowered! ”

Zhao Ang was a little worried, and said: "Most of the barbarians in Bazhong are people, and they are brave and good at fighting, and it is not wise to attack the northern slope." Why don't the generals build antlers at the foot of the mountain and confront the enemy? After General Zhu breaks the enemy and wins, he will return to the mountain to defeat the enemy. ”

Xiahou Yuan shook his head and said, "Among Chenggu, there are five thousand people in the Southern Army. In a hurry, I am afraid that help will come. And repair the antlers, the enemy army will sit idly by? Today, when the enemy's foothold is not stable, send elite mountaineering to attack it, and kill the generals to capture the mountain. ”

"As for the people, what about the Qiang people?"

Saying that, Xiahou Yuan's face sank slightly, and he said: "The elite soldiers under a certain tent, if they are short-handed, they will not be the opponents of our army, so there is nothing to be afraid of." ”

The people are good at fighting, but how are they better than the Qiang people?

The Qiang people in Longxi will tremble when they see him, so why should they be afraid?

Once the people and Cao pawn fought head-on, it was the people who lost.

Of course, this is related to Xiahou Yuan's fighting style, it is advisable to be a soldier and a god of speed, and now Huang Zhong guards the mountain with barbarian miscellaneous soldiers, and he is tired, he does not dare to attack the mountain, this is not his style.

Capture Hanshan, kill Huang Zhong, and annihilate the Bai Yu army. Throw Huang Zhong's head and the Baiyu military banner under the two cities of Chuyang and Chenggu, and Lu Xun and Zong Yu will inevitably surrender.

Zhao Ang held the whip and said: "That is the case, Ang asked for orders to supervise the battle, and the general led the army to meet at the foot of the mountain!" ”

Xiahou Yuan pondered for a while and said, "From the words of Wei Zhang, a certain sergeant will be at the foot of the mountain to respond. ”

"No!"

When Zhao Ang led a team of men and horses away, the servant asked, "The general is at the foot of the mountain, should the antlers be repaired?" ”

"How can you not repair your antlers?"

Xiahou Yuan said in a deep voice: "Although our army is attacking the mountain today, I don't know what the victory will be. lest the army be defeated, the antlers should be repaired to meet the sergeants on the mountain. ”

"No!"
