(I just wrote a chapter, a little late, but it’s still fresh)
Xia Houyuan was so angry that he divided his troops to take back Dingjun Mountain.
At this time, Guo Huai hurriedly said: "General, I think that we must not divide our troops to seize the army at this time."
"What do you mean by that?" Xia Houyuan frowned.
Guo Huai said: "Yangping Pass is dangerous and difficult to attack. Yan Liang must have been unsuccessful in attacking for a long time, so he came up with this trick. His purpose is naturally to induce our army to divide. If the general divides his troops to seize Junshan today, he will play into Yan Liang's plan.
.”
Guo Huai's advice was not unreasonable, but at this time, Xia Houyuan was completely angered by the loss of Dingjun Mountain, so he could not listen to others' advice.
"You are only a district army commander, what do you know? Now that the Yan bandits have occupied Dingjun Mountain, they can threaten the rear of Yangping to the west and Nanzheng to the east. How can I just sit idly by and ignore it?" Xia Houyuan said solemnly.
Guo Huai did not hesitate and said hurriedly: "Yangpingguan, Nanzheng, and the cities in Hanzhong are all located on the north bank of Mian River. If Yan's army makes any changes now, the general only needs to send a troop of troops to follow him from north to south, waiting for Yan's army to cross halfway.
At that time, we can take advantage of the situation and attack. Furthermore, the trail on Micang Mountain is extremely difficult to walk. Even if Yan Jun's troops and horses sneak attack Dingjun Mountain, it will be difficult to maintain their food and grass. Therefore, the general believes that we only need to hold on
If we hold on to Yangping Pass without fighting, Yan Jun at Dingjun Mountain will naturally retreat without fighting in a short time."
Guo Huai's analysis seemed to make sense, and Xia Houyuan fell into thought slightly.
But at this time, Du Xi said: "Guo Sima, this is just a superficial view. The order given to us by the Prime Minister is not to let the Yan thief step into Hanzhong. Now the Yan thief has attacked Dingjun Mountain.
We have violated the Prime Minister's instructions. Moreover, the Yan thieves captured Dingjun Mountain, which will definitely shock the people of Hanzhong. If our army does not take it back as soon as possible, the morale of the army will gradually decline. At that time, the consequences will be,
It’s not as simple as just losing a mountain.”
Xia Houyuan, who was still hesitant at first, suddenly turned solemn and determined after hearing what Du Xi said.
He slapped the case fiercely and said resolutely: "This general has made up his mind. No matter what, we must remove the nail that is old Huang Zhong. Anyone who dares to say another word will be dealt with by military law."
Xia Houyuan made up his mind angrily, but Guo Huai did not dare to persuade him any more, so he had to keep silent.
At that moment, Xia Houyuan made arrangements, leaving two generals Li Dian and Cao Xiu with 10,000 troops to continue guarding Yangping Pass. Xia Houyuan himself led two generals Guo Huai and Du Xi and led 10,000 troops to seize Junshan.
.
Xiahou Yuan, who led his army to the front line of Dingjun Mountain, discovered that Huang Zhong had set up two strongholds in the east and west in front of Dingjun Mountain. Xiahou Yuan also set up two strongholds to block Huang Zhong's army's east and west marching routes to create a confrontation.
Keep an eye on Yan Jun at Dingjun Mountain.
…
Dingjun Mountain.
Regarding the movements at Yangping Pass, scouts had already sent the information to Huang Zhong as soon as possible.
"Everything is as the lord expected. Xia Houyuan was really fooled, Xiaozhi, it's time for us to take action." Huang Zhong geared up, his blood surging.
Fazheng nodded and said: "Since the plan to penetrate the enemy has been completed as the Lord expected, we should attack the enemy's stronghold as soon as possible. Our army does not carry much food and grass and can only last for ten days at most. It is best to fight quickly and decisively."
"Ten days are enough, but what I'm worried about is that if Xia Houyuan is outnumbered and retreats to Yangping Pass, then we will only win a temporary victory, and ultimately we will not be able to complete the mission our master has given us. Xiaozhi, do you have it?
What's the plan to kill two birds with one stone?" Huang Zhong asked.
Fa Zheng fell into silence.
He recalled what his lord Yan Liang told him before leaving.
Yan Liang did not explain to him how to defeat the enemy. Yan Liang just told him that with your Fazheng's resourcefulness, as long as you successfully attack Dingjun Mountain and observe the favorable terrain and terrain, you will naturally come up with a plan to defeat the enemy.
Fazheng didn't know why Yan Liang trusted him so much, and his words before leaving seemed to imply that he, Fazheng, was destined to assist Huang Zhong and defeat Xia Houyuan.
"Since my lord trusts me so much, how can I disappoint him? Fa Zheng, Fa Zheng, think about it carefully..."
Walking in the tent, Fazheng was thinking hard, and the topography of the Dingjun Mountain area kept flashing in his mind.
After thinking for a long time, Fazheng's eyes suddenly lit up.
"If you want to defeat Yangping Pass, you must kill his general Xia Houyuan. As long as Xia Houyuan dies, the morale of the Yangping defenders will naturally collapse and they will be defeated without attack." Fazheng's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Huang Zhong once again saw the hope of achieving extraordinary feats, and said excitedly: "I wonder if Xiaozhi has any good strategies to kill Xia Houyuan?"
Fazheng then gently stroked his short beard, with a sly smile on his face, and slowly revealed the strategy in his mind.
After Huang Zhong heard this, a cold smile couldn't help but appear on his old face.
On the same day, Huang Zhong followed the correct plan. After setting up camp, he pretended to lead his army to launch several feign attacks on Cao's camp in front of the mountain. After the strong attack failed, he closed the camp and waited for the opportunity.
…
For seven consecutive days, Yan Jun stood still.
Xia Houyuan led 4,000 soldiers and horses with Du Xi to guard the east camp, and Zi led 6,000 soldiers and horses to guard the west camp. The two east and west battalions faced off against Yan Jun's two camps, which were only a few miles apart and corresponded to each other.
Although Xia Houyuan did not adopt Guo Huai's suggestion, he agreed with Guo Huai's analysis of Yan Jun's food and grass.
It was precisely for this reason that Xia Houyuan, who had divided his troops to Dingjun Mountain, decided to hold on without fighting until Yan's army was almost exhausted of food and grass, forcing him to retreat without fighting.
"Guo Sima, it seems that you are worrying too much. So what if I divide my troops? Yan's army has been unable to attack repeatedly and has done nothing. I think that in a few days, they will have to run out of food and retreat."
Xia Houyuan looked at the information in his hand and showed a little disdain for Guo Huai's caution.
Guo Huai said: "General, Huang Zhong is brave and brave, and his law is very cunning. We must not underestimate him. Our army has already divided its troops and came to Dingjun Mountain. Now it is really a crime to divide our troops to set up two camps in the east and west.
This is a big taboo for military strategists, so the general thought that it would be safer to abandon the Eastern Camp and merge the two armies into one."
Guo Huai did not take advantage of the situation to compliment him, but instead expressed doubts about Xia Houyuan's strategy.
Xia Houyuan's face suddenly darkened, he threw the information in his hand on the case, and coldly snorted: "Guo Huai, you are too afraid of Yan Jun. Even if Yan Jun wants to play a trick, Dingjun Mountain is narrow, even if there is
It’s hard to pull off a trick. The bandit army has ten thousand soldiers, and the general also has ten thousand soldiers, so there’s nothing to worry about.”
Guo Huai's proposal was rejected. Seeing Xia Houyuan's displeasure, Guo Huai had no choice but to keep silent.
At this moment, the soldiers rushed in and said: "General, General Du of Dongying has sent an urgent report. It is said that Yan Jun suddenly launched a fierce attack on Dongying. The offensive is even fierce. General Du is afraid that he will not be able to hold it. Please."
General, please send reinforcements quickly."
Du Xi asks for help!
Yan Jun did not attack for seven days. It turned out that he was preparing a strong attack on Dongying. Huh, I really underestimated the tenacity of our Cao Jun.
Xia Houyuan stood up and said proudly: "It's not that easy for Yan bandits to break through my Dongying camp. Guo Huai, I have ordered you to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to guard the camp. I will lead 3,000 elite troops to rescue Dongying."
The proud Xia Houyuan wanted to take action personally.
"The general is the leader of the three armies. How can we move lightly? If we let the general defend the army, the last general will go to rescue Dongying." Guo Huai added.
Guo Huai was afraid that Xia Houyuan would make a mistake, but his worry was rewarded with a sneer from Xia Houyuan.
"Didn't you say that the old man named Huang is very brave? If I don't go out personally, how can you defeat that old man?" Xia Houyuan was proud of himself, but he was disdainful of Guo Huaiyu.
Guo Huai suddenly looked embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
Xia Houyuan said no more, and immediately mobilized three thousand elite soldiers, came out of the west camp, and rushed towards the east camp like the wind.
The east and west camps were only a few miles apart. Xia Houyuan's troops and horses arrived at the open space in front of the main peak of Dingjun Mountain not long after leaving the camp.
In the distance, the rumbling shouts of killing were faintly visible. It was obvious that a fierce battle was going on in Dongying.
"Old man Huang Zhong, just wait. I will behead you with my own hands right now. I will kill that Yan thief with all his majesty."
Xia Houyuan couldn't wait to achieve success in a battle, and his murderous intent was burning in his heart, urging his soldiers to gallop forward.
This fierce general of the Xiahou family and the three thousand hurried Cao army were completely unaware that on the main peak of Dingjun Mountain not far away, countless pairs of cold eyes were staring at them.
Huang Zhong, Fa Zheng, rode side by side.
Behind them, the three thousand Changsha soldiers hiding in the hollow behind the mountain have all climbed to the top of the mountain, and their bloodthirsty eyes are staring hungrily at the prey at the bottom of the mountain.
"Old General, Xia Houyuan has fallen into our trap of luring the enemy. Here is a God-given opportunity. What are you waiting for, Old General?" Fazheng pointed his horsewhip down the mountain and said boldly.
The blood in Huang Zhong's heart instantly burned like fire.
"Xiao Zhi, just sit here for a while and watch me accomplish this great feat." With a bold word, Huang Zhong leaped on his horse and stood up, his sword drawn horizontally in front of the troops.
Looking back at the Changsha soldiers, Huang Zhong shouted like thunder: "Changsha warriors, the first victory in capturing Hanzhong is right in front of you. It belongs to men. Follow me and rush down the mountain, kill all the Cao thieves, and become famous all over the world——"
Amidst the loud shouts, Huang Zhong clamped his legs on the horse's belly, let the horse dance with his sword, and swooped down the mountain.
"kill--"
The battle flags were fluttering, the drums were beating like thunder, and three thousand elite Changsha soldiers roared and followed their white-haired veteran, rushing down the mountain like a mountain torrent.
With all four hooves flying, Huang Zhong rode his horse and wielded his sword, like a yellow lightning rider, swooping down the hillside. The sword with the cold light flowing straight towards the enemy general Xia Houyuan.
The sudden rise of enemy troops caused Cao's army passing by the mountain to panic. Even Xia Houyuan was so frightened that he lost his position for a moment.
The astonished Xia Houyuan never expected that there would be so many soldiers and horses hidden on the narrow main peak of Dingjun Mountain.
Just when he was surprised, he saw on the hillside that veteran general, as if falling from the sky, crashed into the panicked soldiers of his own army in the blink of an eye, and killed the panicked soldiers straight towards him.
A bone-chilling chill suddenly surged up on Xia Houyuan's back. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
