Liu Cong smiled evilly and said: "Grandpa, after all, is thinking about my aunt. Let me tell you, this is true. Grandpa, you fostered my aunt with relatives on the border of Xinye, Yuzhou a few years ago."

?”

Xia Houyuan asked with a tigerish face: "How do you know?"

"This is what my aunt said. That day, my aunt went out to collect firewood, and she happened to be seen by my third uncle. At that time, my third uncle was leading troops on patrol. He took a fancy to my aunt and asked my aunt if she would marry him. Before I could wait,

My aunt replied, three times, five times, two times, so she put my aunt on a horse and took her back to Xinye. In this way, after staying for three days, I got married to my aunt. Last year, I gave birth to my younger brother Zhang Bao."

As soon as Xia Houyuan heard what Liu Cong said was reasonable, he took a long breath and cursed: "Poor my niece. She didn't live a good life, but she married Zhang Fei again??????"

Xia Houyuan originally wanted to say that Zhang Fei was a wild mule, but he was afraid that Liu Cong would catch him, so he held back half a sentence, looked at Liu Cong and asked: "I won't ask about other things, just say

Now, now the two armies are fighting, and you and I are the commanders-in-chief of the two armies. Tell me, what are you thinking?"

When Liu Cong heard that Xia Houyuan was completely honest, he smiled evilly and asked: "Grandpa, let me ask you again, are you willing to lead troops to my father's side?

From my grandson's point of view, it would be better for you to come over.

That thing called Cao Cao is not a thing. He will fall out with you at any time. It is very dangerous to follow him!

Besides, when you come to my place, I have my three uncles and three aunts here, how close you are!"

Xia Houyuan said angrily: "Don't even think about it! Even if I die, I will never surrender to your father."

Liu Cong said: "What did the master say? How can you say surrender? I have never seen anything like this.

The master is here to see his grandson. How can it be a surrender?"

By this time, Xia Houyuan was forced by Liu Cong to have a meal, and he became extremely anxious. When he got anxious, he would get angry, and when he got angry, he would take action, just to pull out the knife.

However, Liu Cong's arms were like rocks from Mount Tai, pressing tightly on Xia Houyuan's knife handle and refusing to let go.

At this time, the thirty Jingzhou soldiers behind Liu Cong understood that Liu Cong had the upper hand and did not need rescue, so they watched directly from behind.

However, the 15,000 Cao soldiers behind Xia Houyuan were confused at this time and felt incredulous: "How can two generals talk to each other when they are fighting? Liu Cong even called Xia Houyuan grandpa with a playful smile?"

He was so suspicious, but he didn't see Xia Houyuan's order and didn't dare to act rashly.

People in those two years, not to mention ordinary people, even soldiers are very trustworthy.

If you say it nicely, you are talking about credibility; if you say it badly, you are stupid!

Why do you say they are stupid? Let’s talk about the two armies fighting. During the Warring States Period, chariots were mostly used. By the end of the Han Dynasty, they mainly relied on cavalry and infantry, and there were basically no chariots.

This doesn't mean that the people in those two years were stupid or kept their credibility.

How can we see that they are both stupid and honorable? It can be seen from the battle between the two armies.

The basic combat procedure at that time was as follows: each other would make a battle schedule beforehand and make an appointment to fight somewhere on a certain day, a certain month, and a certain day.

Then each family prepared at home, and when the agreed time came, they came with their troops.

After bringing the troops over, they set up their formation twice and said, "Let's call the drums three times. Both sides hold their positions and ask the other side's general to come out and speak."

Why do we have to beat the drum three times?

The formation is set, and the drum is beaten three times to notify the other side that we are ready. When the other side hears the drum beat, it responds to the drum beat three times, indicating that it is ready.

If you are not ready, don't beat the drum, but prepare yourself. When you are ready, beat the drum to let you know.

After this procedure is completed, the next step is for both sides to secure their positions.

What does it mean for both sides to hold their ground?

That is, the crossbowmen of both sides shoot a few arrows at the opponent's formation. First, it means that they are arrayed out of the opponent's range and asks the other party not to be afraid. Second, it means that they are well prepared and you should not come over for a sneak attack.

Our army has arranged crossbowmen here. If you come here for a sneak attack, you won't be successful.

In this way, after the two armies meet and take up their positions, these three steps must be taken.

After completing these three steps, the fourth step is to invite the opponent's general to come out and speak.

The conversation generally includes these contents, exchanging names and indicating identity.

This is really stupid.

Not only does it look stupid from here, but also.

The generals of both sides also held a flag behind them, and their surnames were written on the flag. For example, when Xia Houyuan and Liu Cong formed a formation this time, the flag bearer behind Liu Cong held a flag with the words "Liu Cong" written on it.

The word "Xiahou" is written on the flag behind Xia Houyuan.

After the leaders of both sides reveal their identities, the following content usually involves one party blaming the other.

When you start talking, you usually say something like this: Why did you bully me? You occupied my land, or why did you bring troops to harass you? You can't do this. Our emperor ordered me to come and deal with you. If you know it yourself,

Just be sensible, lead the troops to retreat, and promise not to make the same mistake again, and I will let you go. If you persist, I will deal with you today. Let you have a longer memory and know how powerful I am.

You say these words just to show off your strength and scare the other party.

In fact, this step is similar to two dogs running into each other head-on.

When two male dogs meet, they usually show off to each other by baring their teeth. When neither side retreats, they have no choice but to rush over and bite.

Having said this, the generals of the two armies expect the other side to retreat. It is best to bring troops to surrender. If they do not retreat or surrender, then they have to start a contest of strength and determine the winner through the contest.

However, when comparing strength, generally follow the agreed steps, and this is the fifth step.

At the beginning of this fifth step, the generals of both sides usually fight against each other and kill him for 300 rounds to determine the male and female.

Whichever side's main general wins will basically determine that side's victory in the battle.

If the chief generals kill each other for 300 rounds and there is no winner, then the lieutenants will compete again.

If the lieutenants cannot tell the winner, the two armies will usually engage in a melee.

The above process was the general procedure for fighting between the two armies at that time.

However, this is not always the case. If conspiracy is used, these programs are generally not used.

When Liu Cong came down from Queweipo Pass this time, he did not follow the same procedure because he only brought thirty cavalry with him. He came here to cheat and win, so he could not follow the normal procedure.

However, when it came time for him to compete with Xia Houyuan, there was no winner between the two sides.

Therefore, the troops from both sides were still waiting in their own formations, and no one dared to come out to help their leader.

This is the case with Liu Cong, and it is the same with Xia Houyuan.

Therefore, Liu Cong and Xia Houyuan have been muttering here for so long, and there has never been a melee situation on the battlefield.

At this time, Liu Cong had finished speaking. He also knew that Xia Houyuan would not surrender, so he said: "Master! I just said that I won't kill you! Since I won't kill you, I don't want you to surrender. I advise you to surrender, but

It's just to tease you.

Well, just do as I say from now on, I'll save you enough face.

I started to run away, you chase me! If you chase me, I will kill you too! If you don't chase me, you will lose face today."

After Liu Cong said this, he turned the horse's head and started running, dragging the steel knife.

The Snow King had been holding it in for a long time, and he had already become impatient. Liu Cong gave an order, turned the fat and tall horse's butt, and released four "Grandma, Grandma, Grandma" towards Xia Houyuan's horse's head.

He farted loudly, then kicked his hind legs twice, kicked up a burst of dust, and ran eastwards.

Liu Cong turned around on his horse and shouted repeatedly: "Old Xia Houyuan, come and chase me if you dare! If you don't dare to chase me, you are my grandson!" 075
