Three Kingdoms: Bandit Cao, let go of that woman!

Chapter 173 Xiahou brothers attack Jingzhou

A month has passed in a hurry.

Xiahou Dun's army gathered in Fancheng was finally about to move.

The two brothers Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan each led [-] elite soldiers and marched towards Xinye City.

The army was about to arrive at Xinye City, but Xiahou Dun found something was wrong.

This feeling of constant uneasiness in his heart was quickly suppressed by him.

This time, 4 troops were sent out just to take down a small Xinye City. In his opinion, it was simply a question given to him by Cao Cao.

Although Cao Cao told him repeatedly before coming here, don't be careless.

It is necessary to fight steadily, and would rather have no success than no mistakes.

He knew that all of this was intended to suppress Cao Peng.

If he returns after a disastrous defeat, then everyone will definitely say that Xiahou's family is beyond their control, and it is up to Cao Peng to fight the war.

He glanced at the heartless Xia Houyuan next to him.

Xiahou Dun felt really helpless...

Although his brother is very powerful, but strategically, he is a slingshot master.

It seems that he has to rely on him to stabilize this time, otherwise, if he loses, he will not be able to explain to Cao Cao.

"Take care of yourself! What do you think the Lord asked us to come for this time?" Xiahou Dun said.

Xia Houyuan didn't care, "It doesn't matter whether we win or lose, anyway, we won't be reused like Cao Peng!"

"Bastard, what do you know?"

"Is not it?"

"You don't even think about it, why didn't the prime minister let Cao Peng go out this time?"

When Xiahoudun asked this question, Xiahouyuan smiled, "Why don't we let us be the vanguard, everything will be clear afterwards, and then let that kid Cao Peng take advantage of it."

Xiahou Dun suddenly said angrily: "You are so stupid. There are already too many people in the court who want to suppress Cao Peng. The prime minister is just pushing the boat along."

After hearing this, Xia Houyuan was thoughtful.

After all, there are too many people in the court who are dissatisfied with Cao Peng, and these are no secrets.

Including their Xiahou clan, Cao Peng's rectification was miserable enough.

If they can pacify the south this time, it will give them the confidence to challenge Cao Peng.

It would not allow Cao Peng to gradually accumulate prestige in the army, and finally make great achievements.

……

The fact that the Xiahou brothers hoarded Fancheng with heavy troops made Liu Biao worry all day long.

So Liu Biao immediately summoned Zhang Wenwu to discuss the matter.

"Cao Jun has gathered in Fancheng, intending to get involved in Jingzhou, what do you think?"

"Who dares to fight this battle for Jingzhou?"

Everyone, look at me, and I look at you, but you dare not fight.

Cao Jun was invincible in the north, and even Yuan Shao was defeated.

So everyone dare not try easily, such a difficult war.

"Father, I am willing to take people to Xinye City to garrison and resist Cao Jun!"

When Liu Biao saw it, he didn't expect that Liu Xigua would make such a request to him.

He was shocked, Liu Qi was originally a cowardly and incompetent character, but now he dared to ask him to go to the front line, what stimulated him?

"You have to think clearly, going to the battlefield is not a child's play, if you are not careful, you will lose your life!"

"Father, I am your eldest son, so I should share your worries. Even if foreign enemies invade Jingzhou and die in battle, I should take the lead." Liu Qi cupped his hands.

What these words said aroused Liu Biao's ambition that had been silent for a long time at that moment.

If Liu Qi had such a demeanor, he would have already passed the throne to him.

Liu Biao nodded after thinking about it.

Anyway, let Liu Qi try it, it's okay.

"Well, it's rare that you have this kind of thought, then I will let you lead an army of [-] and go to Xinye City to meet Cao Jun!"

"As ordered!"

The military generals headed by Cai Mao standing below did not have any objections.

Because, for Liu Qi to play this matter, Cai Mao is happy to see it.

Cai Mao had already inquired about it in advance, and the generals Cao Jun sent this time were brothers Xiahou.

How many catties Liu Qi has, he knows it well.

If Cao Jun kills Liu Qi at that time, it will save him a lot of trouble.

……

In this way, Liu Qi led an army of [-] to Xinye.

The third day after arriving at Xinye City.

The army led by Brother Xiahou came to the city of Xinye.

Looking at the mighty army, Liu Qi felt a little scared.

Although Liu Bei and Xu Shu were left by Cao Peng's side to help him resist Xiahou Dun's attack.

Seeing such an elite army, Liu Qi panicked.

On the contrary, Liu Bei and Xu Shu were calm and composed, as if they didn't pay attention to the army at all.

Xu Shu also had a feather fan in his hand at this time, and he waved it lightly, pointing casually.

"This man is too aggressive, he should be a first-class general under Cao Cao's command"

"Oh, so according to the military adviser, who is it that came this time?" Liu Bei asked.

Now that he is relying on Cao Peng, he has let go of everything, so naturally his heart is like a panying.

Xu Shu said: "I think this man is quite capable of commanding troops in formation. I'm afraid it is Xiahou Dun."

Xiahou Dun!
Everyone was a little surprised, Liu Bei's memory of this man's steadfastness was still fresh.

A sharp arrow shot into his eye, but the guy pulled it out and swallowed his eye.

It was so crazy to hold a gun, kill it, and killed Lu Bu's titan in one blow.

Liu Bei's thoughts were vague, but at this time Liu Qi asked: "Before, Xuande also took refuge in Cao Cao for a while, what kind of strength do you think the Xiahou brothers are this time?"

Xu Shu also looked at Liu Bei, the so-called knowing yourself and the enemy can win every battle.

Liu Bei laughed and said, "Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan are two brothers, although they are brave, but they have no real strategy. At that time, you only need to listen to Mr. Xu's arrangement, and you can sit back and relax."

After hearing this, Liu Qi was finally relieved.

In this case, as long as you follow Xu Shu's strategy, you should be able to win.

Hearing Liu Bei's praise of him, Xu Shu's face showed a confident look.

Liu Bei also immediately said: "Next, I will ask Mr. Xu to analyze for us how we should fight this battle."

It seems that Liu Bei does not believe in Xu Shu's talent.

Xu Shu felt that his IQ was offended.

He spread a piece of cloth in front of everyone, picked up a pen and began to draw on it, while explaining how the formation should be arranged.

The skills contained in the army array arranged by Xu Shu amazed everyone.

Especially Liu Bei, the more he watched, the more obsessed he became.

Why were such good counselors accepted by Cao Peng?

"Sir, what formation is this?" Liu Bei couldn't help asking.

Xu Shu was very satisfied with Liu Bei's surprised gaze, and he gently stroked his beard.

"This array is called the Eight-Gate Golden Lock Array."

Seeing everyone's adoring gazes, Xu Shu felt high-spirited.
