Chapter 203: Gathering at the school
Gao Zhan said to Xia Houen with some excitement: "It's best if you can use aura, I heard from Master Zhu not long ago that he has a set of methods that can increase the amount of aura without absorbing aura, so you can also learn it?"
After hearing this, Xia Houen was suddenly a little puzzled, when did there be another Zhu Shibo, who is he? I remember that there is no one else who has a relationship with Zhang Xiao except Zhang Xiao, where did this Zhu Shibo come from?
So Xia Houen asked Gao Zhan curiously with questions: "What Master Zhu, who is he? I don't remember knowing such a person, right?"
Gao Zhan immediately explained: "It's the disciple of Zihuan Gongzi, the heir of Zhu Jianping, who has known the immortal arts, and the master said that the earth immortal is not separated, so isn't he the uncle?"
Xia Houen didn't know that Gao Zhan had such a good relationship with Zhu Jianping, and he was willing to teach him immortal arts, and he had ridiculed him before he knew that Zhu Jianping was an immortal cultivator, so he definitely wouldn't let go of his face and let him teach him immortal arts, and immediately said: "When did you get acquainted with him, why have I never heard you say that you don't learn the homework arranged by your master, and you still go to learn the exercises of other sects, you are an apostate behavior." [Ran^Text^Library] []”
Gao Zhan explained unhurriedly: "I didn't learn the early knowledge immortal art, and Master Zhu knew that I was a disciple of the master, so naturally he wouldn't teach me anymore, he just told me some ways to improve the amount of spiritual energy." ”
Xia Houen stared at Gao Zhan, and found that learning immortal arts seems to have the effect of improving intelligence, Gao Zhan used to be a person who only thought about fighting and discipline, but now he can also take the initiative to find a way to cultivate, and he is much smarter all of a sudden, but there is really nothing wrong with him doing this, but he thinks that Gao Zhan's cultivation will improve faster than himself in the future, and his heart is not very comfortable.
Xia Houen and Gao Zhan had a sentence without saying a word, and Zhang Xiao was in a good mood today, watching Xia Houen and Gao Zhan quarrel with great interest, and did not obstruct it.
At this time, Yuan Li swaggered into the school field, and hurriedly ran over after seeing Zhang Xiao, and said: "I heard that the imperial court was defeated in the south this time, I don't know if you know the specific situation?"
Although Yuan Li hated the Han Dynasty to the core, but in order to know the movements of the court more accurately, he joined Xiahou En's command with Zhang Xiao, and now he has the same identity as Zhang Xiao, and he can also enter and exit Xiahou Mansion at will, of course, Yuan Li's true identity Xiahou En does not know, in order not to reveal his identity, he has changed his name to Yuan Yi, but he doesn't want to make jokes when he was in Sunyang, and he will never use the name of Yuan Li, which covers his ears and steals the bell.
Not long ago, in order to consolidate his power, Cao Cao abolished the Three Princes system and appointed himself as the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and then ordered Xiahoudun to be the main general, leading the army to point to Jingzhou, intending to take advantage of the situation to eliminate the combined army of Liu Biao and Liu Bei, occupy Jingzhou, and then recover the world in one fell swoop.
As a result, it was rumored that the first battle of this campaign was unfavorable, and I heard that Xiahoudun's army was completely defeated, and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, lost their armor, and did not take the slightest advantage, disrupting Cao Cao's entire layout.
Yuan Li paid close attention to these news, but he was not worried about Cao Cao, but he was gloating, if Jingzhou was occupied by the Han army smoothly, then he would not want to find a chance to revolt, Jingzhou is a military resort, and if he wants to seize the world here, it is easy to occupy it, so he must not be captured by the Han army.
Now that Yuan Lilai is investigating the reaction of the imperial court, he wants to know what Cao Cao will do next, and it would be great if he could lead the whole country to fight to the death with Jingzhou.
Seeing that Yuan Li asked about the war, Xia Houen immediately replied: "I also received the news of my brother's defeat, but the war is changing rapidly, who knows that this is not my brother's plan? ”
Yuan Li felt that Xia Houen was just fueling his own momentum, and said: "But I don't think this news is false, many refugees who fled from the south are talking about it, and I can't help but believe it." ”
Xiahou En was a little unhappy when he saw that Yuan Li had directly concluded that Xiahoudun had been defeated, and said: "This time my brother went south, and the opponent he encountered was Liu Bei first, although Liu Bei's Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were strong, but they were all horsemen, my brother not only brought a large army, but also Wen Ze and Man Cheng complemented each other, so does Liu Bei still have a chance to win? Although it is bad news now, I believe that there will be good news soon." ”
Yuan Li smiled disdainfully and said: "Even you are so arrogant, presumably General Xiahou must not take Liu Bei seriously, I think this battle is bound to be defeated." ”
The more Xia Houen listened, the more angry he became, as a member of his own side, he dared to grow the morale of others and destroy his own prestige, if he was to be punished according to military regulations, he would be punished as imprisonment, and said: "What do you mean by this? As a person from our side, you actually said such a big rebellious remark, is it a happy thing to hope that you will lose the battle?"
Yuan Li immediately came to his senses after listening to Xia Houen's words, and stopped talking, and he was overjoyed after hearing the news of the defeat of the Han army, and forgot his worries for a while, before blurting out, if it was not an acquaintance in front of him, something would definitely have happened.
Yuan Li hurriedly explained: "I don't want to lose the battle on my own, but no matter how bad the opponent is, you can't underestimate the enemy, after all, one wrong step on the battlefield will lose everything, and you are so blind and arrogant, you will die on the battlefield." ”
This time Xia Houen was blinded by Yuan Li's words, he was indeed irrational just now, I remember that before the first time he went to the battlefield, his predecessors had warned, remember not to underestimate the enemy, many famous generals of the dynasty died in the hands of nobodies, it is precisely because of underestimating the enemy and not putting others in his eyes that he gave the opponent a chance.
But how could Xia Houen admit that he had committed a big taboo, and said: "But don't forget what kind of people Wen Ze and Man Cheng are, since they followed the prime minister, they have been strict with themselves and have a great strategy, how can they be defeated by a group of reckless men when the enemy is decided? On the other hand, the news of the defeat is a bit like a strategy to lure the enemy, isn't this the most effective way to deal with reckless people?"
In order to restore the country, Yuan Li also read some military books, and now he was questioned by Xiahou En's strategy, how could he bear it, and said: "Is it a strategy that no one knows, but General Xiahou's temper is not ordinary irritable, are you sure that the people around him can persuade him?"
Now the topic object is back to Xiahoudun, for Xiahouen, who are both clansmen, what is the difference between this and saying himself, suddenly Xiahouen and Yuan Li are on the same page, one keeps praising how flexible and witty he is, and the other says how arrogant he is, and the more noisy he is, the more intense he becomes.
Gao Zhan just listened quietly on the sidelines, for him, there was nothing to argue about this matter at all, just do his best for the war, the result was either victory or defeat, and now he was exposed to the scorching sun, I really wanted to be able to calm down and cool down.
Zhang Xiao was also watching from the side like watching a play, the big battle was not important to him at all, he just wanted the court to send Xia Houen to fight quickly, so that Xia Houen would have a chance to take the Qingyu Sword away.
Just when Xia Houen and Yuan Li were still arguing, Zhang Jiao and Su Layer also came here together, and when they saw the noise inside, they hurriedly walked over curiously.
Zhang Yao was in a bad mood herself, and when she saw Yuan Li and Xia Houen yelling, she also shouted: "What's the noise in the morning, the weather is not hot enough, right, it's better to fight bare-chested." ”
Yuan Li saw that Zhang Jiao and Su Layer also came here, but he couldn't lose his demeanor, straighten his clothes, and no longer quarrel with Xia Houen, especially not lose his rationality in front of Zhang Jiao, and expose his idea of hoping that the Han army would lose in the south, because Zhang Jiao is now the person who is most eager for the Han army to go south to occupy Jingzhou.
Speaking of Zhang Yao's hope that the Han army would go south, it also started with Xia Houen taking Zhang Xiao and Zhang Yao into the palace to face the saint, at that time Zhang Yao knew that the Han Dynasty was actually under the control of Cao Cao, and the Han Dynasty was just a puppet, so he also stood on Cao Cao's side in his heart, and the remaining Han bloodline Liu Bei was still in possession after Jingzhou Liu Biao, Yizhou Liu Zhang and King Jing, and naturally became the target of Zhang Yao's hatred, so he wished that the Han army would swallow it up.
When Xia Houen saw Zhang Yao coming, it was like seeing a ghost, under the scorching sun, he could still feel the slightest coolness, and he didn't dare to say a word, just stood dumbfounded.
When Zhang Yao came to the ring, he first asked Xia Houen: "Today is the day to test the results of your cultivation, how is it now, can you exude aura?"
Speaking of which, Xia Houen finally relaxed, and now he can use his aura, and he doesn't have to worry about Zhang Yao's nightmare training anymore, that kind of high-intensity training is simply designed to torture the dead.
