Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Liu Feng raised his head and laughed: "Thieves Cao are just usurpers and traitors. What can you say that you can't bear it? My father is a descendant of the Han family. Comparing me to your short-lived son, is it a little overwhelmed?" ?”

Father's Han family clan?Xia Houyuan's eyes froze suddenly, and he asked, "Who are you? Who is your father?"

"It's easy to say, my name is Liu Feng, and my father is General Zuo Liu Xuande." Liu Feng smiled lightly.

Xia Houyuan's eyes widened suddenly, and Zhao Yong beside him hurriedly reminded: "This person seems to be Liu Bei's adopted son..."

"You are very good, you actually have the guts to challenge me, then I will fulfill you."

Xia Houyuan raised his big knife and slapped the horse's buttocks fiercely, and his whole body rushed out like an arrow flying from the string.

Liu Feng focused his attention on fighting with his spear, and as soon as he parried, he knew that Xia Houyuan's martial arts were very good, and it was indeed not something his rank could resist.

Qiang Qiang blocked Xia Houyuan's two swords, Liu Feng turned around and patted his horse and left, saying to himself: "Xia Houyuan really deserves his reputation, I will go back and find another person to fight you."

"Liu Feng, the rat, if you mess with me, you have to stay." Xia Houyuan's heart ignited a frenzy, he put his legs between the horse's belly and strenuously moved forward, intending to chop Liu Feng down at the foot of Dingjun Mountain.

"General beware of fraud." Zhao Yong hastily reminded.

Xia Houyuan was already up there, and Liu Feng's escape route had a slight ups and downs. Xia Houyuan was sure that his horse was better than the opponent, so he ignored Zhao Yong's kind reminder.

Zhao Yong saw that Xia Houyuan didn't listen to the advice, but he was worried, so he led the army to catch up with him.

"Accept your fate, Liu Feng. I said that my son was buried in Yangping Pass. Now it's your turn. I blame you for being Liu Bei's adopted son." Xia Houyuan shouted while chasing him.

"General Miaocai, why don't you shoot him."

Xia Houyuan always kept a certain distance from Liu Feng, which meant that the opponent's horse must be no worse than his own. After thinking about it, he was Liu Bei's adopted son, how could he ride an ordinary horse?

Zhao Yong was worried about an ambush in the dense forest ahead, so he raised his voice to remind Xia Houyuan in front.

Hearing Zhao Yong's reminder, Xia Houyuan really took out the carved bow from his waist. He first aimed at Liu Feng's vest, and suddenly remembered that the Mingguang armor was strong in defense. In order not to let go of the prey in front of him, he aimed the arrow at Liu Feng's vest white horse.

"Xiahou's child is to die."

Just when Xia Houyuan's feather arrow was about to be released, there was a loud cry in the dense forest obliquely ahead, followed by an extremely fast cold arrow.

The moment Xia Houyuan turned his head, the feather arrow had already come to his face, piercing into his left eye impartially, and Liu Feng's white horse not far away was startled by the arrow.

"General." Zhao Yong exclaimed.

"Aye." Xia Houyuan was so painful that he almost fell off his horse. He finally understood Xiahou Dun's mood back then.

At this moment, the silver-haired Huang Zhong swung his sword immediately. He looked at Xia Houyuan and said coldly: "How dare you make a fool of yourself? The military master asked the old man to kill me with one arrow, but I just shot you with one eye. To kill you, I still need to kill you." The knife comes clean."

When Huang Zhong spoke, the cold light shone from the blade of the sword, and the cavalry around Xia Houyuan were all terrified.

Chapter 500 Dingjun Mountain Huang Zhong Beheaded General

"Sure enough, there is an ambush, General, let's retreat quickly."

At this time, Xia Houyuan had chased him for two or three miles, when the main general Zhongjian and Huang Zhong appeared, Zhao Yong swallowed his saliva and hurriedly reminded him.

Xia Houyuan was very entangled with covering his forehead with one hand. His clan brother Xiahou Dun was shot in the eye, and finally pulled it out and swallowed it into his stomach. He also beheaded a general of Lu Bu in pain.

At this moment, Xia Houyuan was hesitant to follow suit. If he himself was blind, there would be two blind Xiahous in Wei State in the future. With his prestige in the army, no one would dare to laugh at him, right?

Faced with Zhao Yong's reminder Xia Houyuan was indifferent, and Zhao Yong didn't know what to do now that he was at a loss.

Liu Feng not far away was hit by an arrow on his horse, but because of Xia Houyuan's accident, no one chased him in his direction, and he controlled the horse with the help of his followers.

Fazheng asked Huang Zhong to kill Xia Houyuan with a hidden arrow, but Huang Zhong had the pride of being a warrior, and he wanted to kill his opponent with real force, so he deliberately shot Xia Houyuan in the left eye just now to prove that his arrow skills are not weak Xia Houyuan .

If Xia Houyuan didn't dare to fight, Huang Zhong would shoot the opponent's throat again without hesitation.

Seeing that Xia Houyuan didn't answer, Huang Zhong guessed what the other person was thinking, and then deliberately teased: "Are you afraid of pain and dare not pull it out? I'm afraid I have too high expectations of you."

"Old man, I, Xia Houyuan, will avenge the murder of my son Dazzling."

Xia Houyuan roared with anger, he grabbed the arrow body and dragged it out forcefully, the huge eyeball was pulled out of the eye socket, the bloody look was very scary, but he didn't follow Xiahou Dun's swallowing eyeball, but threw it aside on the grass.

The severe pain caused Xia Houyuan to keep shaking his head, this action directly shocked Zhao Yong and the soldiers beside him, and his own general pulled out his eyes like pulling out a carrot.

Huang Zhong had heard that Xiahou Dun had done this, but he didn't expect that his younger brother would be so brave. However, Xiahouyuan's pain will soon disappear, because he will finish it with his own hands.

"Are you ready? The old man's knife has been waiting for a long time." Huang Zhong frowned coldly.

"Old man Huang Zhong, you are going to die for me."

Xia Houyuan yelled loudly, raised his knife and rode straight towards Huang Zhong, Zhao Yong beside him couldn't hold back.

In the blink of an eye, Huang Zhong and Xia Houyuan collided.

Xia Hou, who was visually impaired, used all his strength to slash in an unclear direction. Huang Zhong didn't take advantage of the opponent, and slashed against the falling blade with all his might.

The huge impact force backfired, making Xia Houyuan almost unable to sit still. Only then did he realize that Huang Zhong was very fierce, so he turned around and ran away without hesitation.

Zhao Yong didn't feel a trace of blame in his heart when he was defeated after less than one round of battle. After all, his general's arrogance had shocked him just now, so he patted his horse and rushed up to meet Xia Houyuan.

Seeing where Xia Houyuan was going, Huang Zhong was willing to give up. He raised his sword and chased after Xia Houyuan from the left side.

During the running, Xia Houyuan lost his eye sockets, facing the oncoming cold wind so painful that he almost fell off his horse. Suddenly, Huang Zhongna's cry like a death knell came from behind him.

"Xiahou'er, take your life."

Huang Zhong galloped past on his horse, and the sword in his hand fell from Xia Houyuan's head like a mountain top.

Xia Houyuan heard the violent wind above his head, he turned his head to the left and saw nothing at all, his body had already been swung in two by Huang Zhong.

"For generals, when you are timid, you can't just rely on courage."Generals should be based on bravery, and act with wisdom; '

Cao Cao's warning words were still in his ears, but Xia Houyuan didn't remember them until his death. Those who spoke earnestly were despised by those who listened. In the end, the words became a prophecy and fell at the foot of Dingjun Mountain.

Just as Zhao Yong ran up to Xia Houyuan on his horse, he saw Huang Zhong's bloody sword flying, and he was frightened out of his wits and lost consciousness below the waist for a short time.

Seeing that Zhao Yong came forward to see him off automatically, Huang Zhong was disrespectful and urged him to go forward immediately.

"what……"

When Zhao Yong was panicked and stunned, he instinctively grabbed the rein and turned to flee, but Huang Zhong's war horse galloped up, leaving him no chance at all.

The fierce horse rolled up the dust, the long knife swept through the air, the red cloak flew up, and Zhao Yong's head rolled down.

The sudden death of Xia Houyuan and Zhao Yong made the well-trained Cao Jun suddenly lose his restraint. The invincible general in Longyou was like a headless chicken when faced with the fall of the main general.

Huang Zhong beheaded the second general and immediately waved the red flag to respond to Fazheng, and then led his troops to follow behind the fleeing Cao soldiers to cover up and kill them.

Fazheng saw the Huangzhong red flag waving at the foot of the mountain. He was so excited that he smashed his right fist on the palm of his left hand, and then happily announced to Liu Bei: "The old general is finished. Now Xiahouyuan is dead. Those Cao soldiers are like lambs waiting to be slaughtered."

"It's all thanks to the strategist's ingenious plan that the old general was able to kill Xia Houyuan." Liu Bei also became excited.

"Now the whole army can attack and cooperate with General Zilong to gather and wipe out Zhang He's remnant army." Fazheng was very excited.

Liu Bei echoed: "The military division issued the military order quickly."

While Fazheng nodded, he immediately asked his followers to raise five red flags. At this time, Wei Yan, Wu Yi, Fu Xun, Chen Shi, etc. who were ambushing at the foot of the mountain will all kill Liu Feng. .

In the afternoon, the weather on the south bank of Mianshui was dark, and the sound of wind, horseshoes, fighting, crying, and shouting disrupted the world into a noisy market.

Zhang He was originally defending against Zhao Yun in the east encirclement, but with the help of his son-in-law Captain Du Xi leading more than [-] troops, more than [-] troops have successfully blocked Zhao Yun's offensive. Suddenly Zhang He looked to the southwest and frowned.

"What's the matter?" Du Xi asked curiously when he saw Zhang He's expression was different.

Zhang Yun shook his head: "I'm restless today, and I always feel that something big is about to happen."

"Nanwei's defense is solid, and its military strength is also comparable to ours. With General Xiahou's ability to walk on the right side of the tiger, he should be able to stop Liu Bei, right?" Du Xi asked.

"Liu Bei is the hero of the world. He has Pang Tong and Fa Zheng as his wings. If King Wei doesn't come, I'm worried that there will be big problems sooner or later." Zhang Yun frowned.

Du Xi replied: "Zhang Fei and Ma Chao are making trouble in Wudu. Compared with General Zilian who is stationed in Xiabian, Wei Wang may have more trust in General Miaocai. We must have more confidence in General Miaocai."

"I see." Zhang He nodded affirmatively.

Less than half an hour later, there was a sudden commotion from Zhang Yun's rear army, and the sentinels rushed over to report the military situation: "General Xiahou and Zhao Inspector have been beheaded by Huang Zhong, and the south wall has been breached by Liu Bei's army. More than half of the soldiers have been injured, and the rest of the defeated soldiers are fleeing to the east."

Du Xi almost fell off his horse after hearing the battle report. Zhang Xi grabbed the sentry by the collar to confirm and asked, "Is what you said true?"

The sentry replied tremblingly: "Every sentence is true, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan have already appeared in the rear..."

"What can I do?" Du Xi asked in a panic.

Zhang Yun looked serious, "Liu Bei's military strength was superior to ours. After the death of Governor Xiahou, the army's morale was in turmoil. It is meaningless for us to stay here. Now we must withdraw immediately."

Chapter 5 and One

Du Xi asked: "Junyi has been in the battle for a long time, so he should have a good analysis, but where should we retreat?"

Zhang He looked up at the sky, guessing that it would be dusk soon, and he replied with a serious expression: "We have to hurry up and cross the Mian River. It's getting late and it's too late to go to Nanzheng. Why don't we go back to Yangping Pass and join General Guo?"

"Good." Du Xi nodded.

Zhang He and Du Xi led their men to retreat to Mianshui while fighting. The Yizhou soldiers in Dingjun Mountain descended like fierce tigers, taking advantage of the victory to pursue them. The fighting lasted from noon to late night, and did not stop until Cao Jun crossed Mianshui in embarrassment.

The next day, the battlefield was counted. At present, more than 7000 Cao soldiers have been killed. In addition to the soldiers who were driven into the Mian River and drowned, more than half of the [-] soldiers brought by Xia Houyuan were damaged in the Battle of Dingjun Mountain.

Looking at Xiahouyuan's corpse, Liu Bei encouraged the hero Huang Zhong: "Bei keeps his word. General Huang beheaded Xiahouyuan. You are the new general who conquers the West. You will receive Hanzhong to remake the official seal robes, and of course the wealth, silk and land. reward."

"Thank you, my lord, the last general will die forever." Huang Zhong was very excited.

Huang Zhong is now seventy years old, and he was able to be promoted to a heavy general in his later years. Not only Guangzong Yaozu is also a famous general in ancient and modern times, leaving a strong mark.

Liu Bei said to the others: "Everyone should work together, and when the land of Hanchuan is recovered, Bei will reward you for your merits."

"Wei." All the generals clasped their fists in response.

Huang Zhong was promoted to the general of Zhengxi, and his position in the army directly surpassed Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to rank under Ma Chao. The reason why Liu Bei orally determined the position first was to discuss with Zhuge Liang and others after the Battle of Hanzhong.

Rewarding officials is also a technical job. The last time Liu Bei promoted Pound based on his personal preferences, he was immediately dissatisfied by the generals in Yizhou. In addition to motivating the rest to fight bravely, there is also the idea of ​​​​bringing out conflicts among the various factions.

After Liu Bei's inspiring words were over, all the generals gathered around Huang Zhong to congratulate him. Huang Zhong beheaded a strong man like Xia Houyuan at such an advanced age, and those who were jealous in their hearts did not dare to show it on their faces.

At this time, it was the end of the year, and Liu Bei looked at the slowly flowing water, and asked Pang Tong and Fazheng: "Xiahouyuan was defeated and died, and Zhang Yun led the remnants to flee to Yangping Pass. Where do the two military advisers think they should go next?" Into the army?"

"Xia Houyuan left Guo Huai with more than [-] defenders at Yangping Pass, plus Zhang Xi's defeated troops should have [-] more. According to the information brought back by Captain Song from Nanzheng, Xu Huang only had more than [-] troops." Fazheng analyzed .

Liu Bei nodded, "There are still [-] troops in Dingjun Mountain. Cao Jun's newly defeated troops have no fighting spirit. Should we concentrate on attacking Yangping Pass or Nanzheng, or divide our troops and attack both ends at the same time?"

Pang Tong shook his head straight: "Nanzheng and Yangpingguan are both solid and difficult to attack. Cao Jun is in a weak state and will not fight easily. If we attack by force, it will be difficult for a short time, but it is absolutely unwise to divide our troops.

In addition, Xia Houyuan died in the battle at Dingjun Mountain. I expect Cao Cao to leave Chang'an and come to Hanzhong in person. We must be prepared for a tough battle. I suggest a feint attack at Yangping Pass or Nanzheng. "

Liu Bei frowned and his eyes were firm. He drew out his sword and pointed at the mists in front of him. Ministers who give advice and advice, generals who are accustomed to fighting, have preparedness, and you are stronger."

When Pang Tong and Fazheng heard Liu Bei praise themselves in person, they immediately felt warm in their hearts. They sighed that it was not easy to have such a lord, and they all bowed to Liu Bei to salute.

"My lord, what Shi Yuan said is not bad at all. Now the remnants of Hanzhong are all mourners. Even if they attack by force, they will have to pay a huge price. I also suggest to feint to attack Yangping Pass first, and wait for Cao Cao's main force to enter Hanzhong for support. Then they will be able to attack." Win." Fazheng suggested.

Liu Bei looked puzzled: "I can understand if we don't attack Nanzheng. After all, if our grain road extends eastward, it will not only be easily harassed by Cao's army, but also increase the consumption of transportation. But why wait for Cao Cao to increase his troops? No Should we seize Yangping Pass before the main force arrives?"

Fazheng stretched out three fingers and gestured: "There are three reasons. First, although the road is difficult to navigate in winter, and the Baoxiang Road is in danger of wind, frost, rain and snow at any time, Cao Cao will definitely arrive there in a month's time. We may not be able to take it during this time." Yangping Pass; secondly, although Cao Hong, the military capital, was restrained by the two generals Zhang and Ma, it is not ruled out that they will desperately come to rescue; the third is that even if they can win Yangping Pass during this period, Cao Cao will retreat to Nanzheng Tu at that time. Our army is at a disadvantage."

Liu Bei understood the first two points, but the third point is in the fog. Why is it not good to take Yangping Pass?

"Xiaozhi said in more detail, why is it not good for the army to win Yangping Pass?" Liu Bei asked for advice.

Fazheng drew on the sand with his saber, and roughly marked the positions of Yangping Pass, Dingjun Mountain, and Nanzheng. He pointed to the location of Yangping Pass and explained: "If Cao Cao increases his troops to take Yangping, Dingjun Mountain behind him must be If we want to give up, we and Cao Cao can win head-on, while the opponent retreats to Nanzheng. If we can't win, we can only stick to Yangping. How can we be willing to win only one pass after many years of preparation?"

"Go ahead." Liu Bei frowned.

"If Cao Cao defeats Yangping, my lord will continue to attack Nanzheng, but our supply line has been extended, and the Mianshui area from Yangping Pass to Nanzheng will become a dangerous point for Cao's army to harass and rob grain." Fazheng frowned.

Looking at the Mian Shui in front of him, Liu Bei seemed to understand a little bit, and he continued to ask: "If Yang Ping can't defeat Cao Bandit, what should we do then?"

Fazheng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The Jinniu Road is [-] miles long. If we confront Cao Cao at Yangping Pass, how can we overwhelm them? At that time, we can only expect a rebellion in the Central Plains, and Cao Cao will return to the army to eliminate the Central Plains. Thieves, otherwise it would be difficult to have a chance to capture Hanzhong..."

"Hearing what Xiaozhi said, we still have to wait for a chance to collect Hanzhong?" Liu Bei suddenly felt hopeless.

At this time, Pang Tong spoke up and said: "I have discussed carefully with Xiaozhi. If we want to defeat Cao Cao in Hanzhong, we must still use Dingjun Mountain as our camp and give up Chicken Rib Yangping Pass to Cao Cao. In this way, his supply line in Mianshui will become At the point of our attack, the total strength of Cao's army must be greater than ours, so once the grain road is attacked, the consequences will be more dangerous."

"The military adviser said that Cao Cao transported grain from Baoshui in Guanzhong, and then merged into Mianshui to reach Yangping Pass in the west, but he can take the wider Chen Cang Road in the west. What will happen then?" Liu Bei frowned.

Pang Tong smiled slightly and said: "Although Chencang Road is not within the range of our army's attack, my lord, don't forget Yide who is hidden in Wudu, and the distance to take Chencang Road will be hundreds of miles away. Many, I believe Cao Cao will not give up the distance."

Chapter 5 Rescue Hanzhong Cao Cao sent troops

Liu Bei smiled dumbly: "I almost forgot about Yide and Meng Qi. Their partial division is enough to cause Cao Cao a headache, so I asked the two military divisions to dispatch troops and send the generals to put the pressure on Yangping Pass as soon as possible. Call for help."

"Yide has already learned the essence of martial arts. Bandit Cao should have a headache. He won the first battle and let the whole army rest for two days. The day after tomorrow, he will go to pretend to attack Yangping Pass on time. If Bandit Cao is in a hurry, there will be chaos." Pang Tong was calm and relaxed. .

"By the way, where did Song Chen go?"

When Liu Bei and Pang Tong mentioned Zhang Fei, they suddenly remembered Song Chen who passed the news. He originally followed the Chinese army to listen to him, but he hadn't seen anyone since yesterday.
