Xia Houyuan's headless body fell to the ground, and the smile on Zhuge Liang's face finally calmed down.

"It's really dangerous..."

"The military advisor will never take such a big risk in the future. If he had been careless just now... the consequences would be disastrous!"

At this time, Huang Zhong, who had beheaded Xia Houyuan, quickly jumped off his horse, and then rushed in front of Zhuge Liang at the fastest speed, supporting and protecting him.

Looking at the clothes that were stained red by blood, Huang Zhong could only make Zhuge Liang grit his teeth.

Then he twitched the saber on his waist and cut off the arrow cluster that emerged.

"The rest can only be bandaged after we stabilize. The military advisor must not be so reckless again."

Huang Zhong looked at Zhuge Liang's shoulder where blood was still flowing, and his brows couldn't help but jump. He just felt that this usually calm military advisor could do something so crazy.

Then fight for his own life... If there is any accident, what should he do?

"Don't worry Han Sheng, this is nothing more than that." Kong Ming gritted his teeth and covered his wound, with a forced smile on his face.

"Xia Houyuan is a famous general of the Cao family, but he has a flawed character. He often likes to go to the battlefield in person, even more so than Sun Ce back then.

Not to mention fighting on the battlefield, even repairing the barracks must be done together with the soldiers.

To the extent that he leads the way, even though he is serving his orders as a soldier, it is still too much.

Xia Houyuan likes to take risks. If he knew that Liang placed himself behind the army, with his character, he would definitely capture Liang alive in one fell swoop to show his power!

And this is our only chance. If we don’t kill Xia Houyuan, then things will be really difficult for us..."

"Even so, the military advisor cannot take such risks. Xia Houyuan is skilled in bow and horse. If a murderous intention appears..."

"Liang concluded that Xia Houyuan wanted to capture Liang alive and humiliate his lord, so he would not shoot Liang on the spot unless it was absolutely necessary.

Isn't this just what happened when Meng Qi and Ling Ming were transferred away, Han Sheng was used as a guard, and someone pretended to be you to attack Cao Zhen... Isn't this what happened?"

"Strategic Advisor!"

"That's all, just pay attention in the future... pay attention in the future.

Now is not the time for us to say these words. Han Sheng, you go immediately with Huang Zhong’s head.

Since Xia Houyuan appears at this time, the army must be behind him, and Cao Zhen will bite Kou Feng and others when he sees the movement.

You take Xiahou Yuan's head to inspect the army, first shock Cao Zhen and force him to retreat, and then turn around to attack and kill him.

We will definitely defeat most of the leaderless Xia Houyuan!"

"No!"

Seeing Huang Zhong leaving with Xia Houyuan's head flying horse, Kong Ming also looked helpless at this time. He also wanted to learn from Xiaozhi, but there is no such good place as Dingjun Mountain here.

Xia Houyuan repaired the barracks and couldn't go there himself, so he had to borrow his strategy and rearrange it.

Although this was a bit dangerous, fortunately it was still successful.

"Xiahou Miaocai...that's all, this is your destiny!"

Looking at the headless body still lying on the ground, Zhuge Liang just sighed and then slowly walked towards a safe place.

At the end of the seventeenth year of Jian'an, Zhuge Liang's counterattack finally began in the snowy land of Yongliang.

Using himself as bait, he led his troops to storm the Xiegu Pass where Cao Zhen was stationed, and lured Xiahou Dun's light cavalry to intercept and kill him.

But under the hill, Huang Zhong ambushed and killed Xia Houyuan, who was rushing in alone, on the spot.

Afterwards, Huang Zhong held Xiahou Yuan's head high and galloped onto the battlefield. When Cao Zhen's soldiers saw Xiahou Yuan's head, their morale was immediately in chaos.

Although Cao Zhen was frightened, he immediately ordered the army to evacuate slowly. At the same time, he killed Zhu Zan, his favorite general and his childhood friend from the same country, personally.

In the end, the army had no choice but to retreat into the Xiegu Road, and Zhu Zan was killed by Kou Feng, so the battle was barely over.

After forcing Cao Zhen back, Huang Zhong immediately led his army and galloped in another direction.

There Xia Houyuan's deputy general Zhang He had already appeared with his troops, but what he saw was not Zhuge Liang who was captured alive and Xia Houyuan showing off his power.

What he saw was the enemy troops who were attacking like crazy, and the head of Xia Houyuan, which was hanging high on the flagpole and dripping blood.

At this moment, not to mention the cavalry under Xia Houyuan's command, even Zhang He couldn't help but be distracted.

Fortunately, Zhang He has seen a lot of storms and waves over the years, and can still maintain his composure in the face of such situations.

Then lead the army slowly...

Well, in this case, Zhang He could only barely save his life, and the army had already begun to collapse after less than a stick of incense.

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguoyuedu to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. yeguoyuedu is available for Android and Apple.]

The soldiers fled in all directions, and Huang Zhong and others chased them all the way. If it weren't for the heavy snowstorm and Zhuge Liang's bleeding, Huang Zhong would have left one more person behind.

In the final result, although Zhuge Liang did not completely open the Xiegu Road, he killed Xiahou Yuan and caused a lot of losses to Cao's army in two battles.

They captured a lot of war horses and baggage, which greatly alleviated their current embarrassment....

When the fighting stopped and the soldiers cleaned up the battlefield, Zhuge Liang managed to bandage the wound.

It's just that you shouldn't make any big move in the face of the doctor's repeated instructions, just live a good life and cultivate yourself.

Zhuge Liang didn't hear a word of it.

"I was told this three times a day in my previous life. When will you take it to heart?

We only live for a few decades, how can we waste our time on the sickbed?"

These words are just what Zhuge Liang said in his heart. As for saying them out loud, that is definitely not possible.

After defeating Xia Houyuan and his army, Zhuge Liang could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

After a short period of repair, Zhuge Liang did not take advantage of the opportunity to directly attack and enter Hanzhong, because he knew that this was a dead end.

But he also couldn't say that for the sake of the morale of the army, and in order to prevent his soldiers and generals from losing confidence, he had to find a reasonable reason for not going to Hanzhong.

So he immediately gave the order.

"The whole army is about to leave for Jingzhao County to rescue Ma Mengqi!"

The generals under his command were confused by Zhuge Liang's words. They didn't understand what happened to Ma Chao, who was responsible for going to Jingzhao and Chang'an to perform?

They haven't received any news about Ma Chao, so where did the word "rescue" come from?

They don't know, but they won't have any doubts about Zhuge Liang at this time.

"No!"

After a chorus of promises, the army immediately moved into action. Zhuge Liang, who was still wounded by an arrow, jumped on his horse and followed the army in galloping towards Jingzhao.

On the way, the disciple Zhou Buji wanted to speak several times, but he kept his mouth shut.

Seeing his beloved disciple like this, Zhuge Liang also sighed.

"You've been thinking about a surprise attack on Chang'an, haven't you? Today I'm going to let you see how big a battle is waiting for us in Chang'an."
