Chapter 538

Outside Yangping Pass.

Lu Xuan's army arrived and joined the Wu army guarding the pass. Because there were rivers passing through the west and south sides of Yangping Pass, and because it was backed by steep mountains, the only direction that could be attacked was west-north.

Only in this direction, where the terrain is slightly more open, can troops be stationed.

After the army was settled, Lu Xuan called Gan Ning and asked: "Xingba, we have the materials and supplies for the hot air balloon. How long will it take you to complete the subsequent hot air balloons?"

Gan Ning said without hesitation: "Report to the king, two days at most. The reason why it is two days is that after each hot air balloon is completed, it must be ignited and tested to avoid air leakage. The hot air balloon must be lifted into the air. Once it is in the sky,

If there is an air leakage, if you fall down or die, you will be seriously injured, so you must be careful."

Lu Xuan thought for a while and said: "It's not long after noon, and there is still half a day left. You mobilize all the people, work hard all night, and try to complete the production of all the hot air balloons in one and a half days."

"We will launch an attack the day after tomorrow in the morning."

"Of course, the premise is that the wind direction is suitable."

"The wind direction in the past two days has been towards Yangpingguan. As long as the weather remains unchanged, we can act as planned. Time is tight and I can only give you so much time. What I can do is to assist you with all my strength. You have to

Whatever, I will give you whatever."

Lu Xuan asked: "Can it be completed?"

Gan Ning hesitated for a moment, but then gritted his teeth and said solemnly: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely complete the task with quality and quantity."

"Go ahead."

Lu Xuan nodded.

Gan Ning turned around and retreated. Lu Xuan was thinking about the next arrangements. While Lu Xuan was thinking, not long after, soldiers entered the camp and reported: "Your Majesty, Military Advisor Jia is here to see you."

"please!"

Lu Xuan gave an order.

The soldiers went to deliver the order. After a while, Jia Xu entered the camp and saluted: "I pay my respects to the king."

Lu Xuan asked: "What's wrong with Wen He?"

Jia Xu's expression was gentle, his eyes were wise and deep, and he said slowly: "I have learned about the weather in Yangpingguan these days, and after asking experienced farmers, they all said that there has been no rain recently and the weather is very stable."

"I also observed the sky at night and judged that there was no rain in the recent weather. The current wind direction happens to be northwest, blowing from the northwest, which is suitable for our hot air balloon to take off towards Yangpingguan."

Jia Xu said firmly: "As long as the weather doesn't suddenly change, there will basically be no problem."

Lu Xuan said: "With Wen He's judgment, I will be more confident. Now, I will go and meet the generals guarding Yangping Pass to find out. After all, I still don't know who the generals guarding Yangping Pass are."

Jia Xu reminded: "Your Majesty, please pay attention to your safety."

Lu Xuan looked confident and replied: "Wen He can rest assured that Xu Chu is here."

He left Jia Xu in the camp, took Xu Chu and his personal guards out of the camp, and stopped about sixty steps outside the pass.

This distance, coupled with Xu Chu's protection, makes it relatively safe.

Lu Xuan looked towards the city tower, intending to test, and shouted domineeringly: "Who is the guard on the city tower? Tell me your name. I will not kill unknown people under my spear."

Xia Houyuan had already received the news of Lu Xuan's arrival and had been waiting on the tower.

Now, Lu Xuan is here.

Xia Houyuan looked at Lu Xuan outside the pass, with murderous intent and uncontrollable anger. He roared loudly: "Little Lu Xuan, I am Xia Houyuan. You can't wait to die. Are there evil spirits chasing you?"

Lu Xuan smiled softly, it turned out to be Xia Houyuan guarding Yangping Pass. However, Xia Houyuan was much worse than Cao Ren in guarding.

The key is that Xia Houyuan is prone to wandering.

When Lu Xuan heard Xia Houyuan's answer, he was not angry and replied calmly: "When I was in Yanzhou, if I remember correctly, you, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong were all brought to my military camp by Cao Cao to see me as a teacher.

.Aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning when you call me “I” every now and then?”

Xia Houyuan gritted his teeth and said angrily: "You Lu Xuan are nothing but a teacher. You killed my brother Cao Hong, and you killed my brother Cao Ren. For a person like you, I can't wait to cut you into pieces."

Lu Xuan sighed helplessly and said: "Who is to blame for killing Cao Hong? I think it is Cao Cao. At the beginning, I surrendered Zhang Xiu early and prepared to plan Jingzhou."

"Cao Cao is unwilling to give in and insists on entering Jingzhou to fight with me and attack me."

"Cao Cao lost and Cao Hong was killed. That is normal. Is it possible that the fighting on the battlefield was just a joke? There is no need to sacrifice one's life and blood?"

"Or maybe Cao Cao's people can't afford to lose, and they won't admit their defeat?"

"Since you can't afford to lose, what are you going to do in the war? Why don't you just go back to farm and have sex with your wife and have a baby? As for Cao Ren being killed, it's the same reason. And I want everyone to surrender. They don't want to surrender and they don't want to live.

Can you blame me?"

Xia Houyuan was suddenly speechless.

Generals on the battlefield always put their heads on their waists, as life and death depend on fate and wealth.

However, he felt uncomfortable when Cao Hong died.

Xia Houyuan said in a deep voice: "Lu Xuan, even if you are eloquent, it's useless. I, Xia Houyuan, don't care about this. I don't care about relatives. If you kill my brother, I will kill you to avenge you."

Lu Xuan looked joking and joked: "In that case, I will give you a chance to take revenge. Xia Houyuan, do you dare to go out of the city and fight? If I defeat you, you can surrender. If I lose, it's your turn to make a lot of money."

.”

"Don't even think about it!"

Xia Houyuan refused without even thinking.

With a cold face, he mocked: "You, Lu Xuan, are as cunning as a fox and act treacherously. I won't believe you. Lu Xuan, you want to use such despicable means to trick me out of seclusion. You can't succeed."

Lu Xuan sighed and said with emotion: "Oh, I didn't expect Xiahou Miaocai to be so smart that he couldn't deceive you."

Xia Houyuan frowned.

Why do Lu Xuan's words sound so awkward?

Xia Houyuan continued: "Lu Xuan, your little tricks with words are of no use. If you have the courage, just come and attack Yangping Pass. Don't you, Lu Xuan, brag about being invincible and invincible? I want to see if you can take it.

What to do at Yangpingguan?”

Strong words echoed in the air.

He is also a fierce general.

As long as he guarded Yangping Pass and couldn't get out, he didn't believe Lu Xuan could get in.

When Lu Xuan was about to speak, he suddenly had an idea. He had further ideas and said loudly: "Xia Houyuan, listen carefully. All the officers and soldiers of Cao's army on the city tower are here to listen to me. Two days later,

This king opened an altar outside the pass to perform rituals, asking God to grant divine soldiers in golden armor, and the divine soldiers would descend from the sky to seize Yangping Pass."

Xia Houyuan sneered twice and said disdainfully: "Lu Xuan, what you said about opening the altar is simply deceiving the public. Under the bright sky, the magic weapon descends from the sky and returns the golden armor magic weapon. It is simply a joke."

There was a smile on Lu Xuan's lips.

This was what he wanted to achieve, to make Xiahou Yuan suspicious. When he attacked in the morning the day after tomorrow, it would have a shocking effect and further suppress the morale of Xia Houyuan's troops.

Lu Xuan didn't say any more and said directly: "Xia Houyuan, we will wait and see. You will see him in two days."

After saying that, Lu Xuan left neatly.

Xia Houyuan looked at Lu Xuan's leaving figure and frowned. Reason told him that Lu Xuan's method of opening the altar was a lie. However, Lu Xuan promised in front of everyone and said it in front of everyone, so he could not lie, otherwise Lu Xuan's words

There is no longer any influence or deterrence, which makes Xiahou Dun have to doubt whether it is true or false?

Xia Houyuan looked at Ding Xiao and asked, "Are what you said about Lu Xuan true or false?"

Ding Xiao frowned deeply. Faced with Xia Houyuan's inquiry, he pondered for a long time before speaking cautiously: "General, logically speaking, this matter should be impossible."

Xia Houyuan snorted and said, "What you said makes sense!"

Ding Xiao said sarcastically: "I just feel that Lu Xuan is cunning and behaves like a ghost, which is difficult to fathom."

Xia Houyuan stopped talking to Ding Xiao and looked in the direction of Lu Xuan's military camp. He still didn't believe it in his heart, so after being silent for a long time, he muttered as if talking to himself: "No matter what, Lu Xuan doesn't

It may be successful. If I, Xia Houyuan, are here, Yangping Pass will definitely be there."
