Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 497

During Fazheng and Huang Zhong's advance to Dingjun Mountain, Liu Bei ordered Zhao Yun to go to Yangping Pass to fight every day, and then sent Wei Yan to lead troops to cross Zoumaling and massively reinforce Maming Pavilion Road.

Zhang He, who was stationed at Guangshi Pass, discovered the military situation, and immediately sent his own soldiers to Yangping Pass to ask Xia Houyuan for help.

After the death of his son Xia Houcheng, Xia Houyuan has been in a state of depression. Facing the challenge of Zhao Yun under the city, he turned a deaf ear to it. He only ordered Xu Huang and Guo Huai to hold on.

Liu Bei's sudden actions in Ma Ming Pavilion posed a huge threat to Zhang Xi's right wing. Xu Huang heard that Wei Yan was the main reinforcement, so he rushed into Xia Houyuan's main tent to ask for a battle.

"General, Liu Bei sent troops to Ma Ming Pavilion, General Junyi sent people to ask for help, and the general called for a battle to repel Wei Yan." Xu Huang clasped his fists and asked for help.

His pain of losing his son has improved, especially when he saw Xia Houyuan who had lost his own son, the sadness in his heart was split in half in an instant.

Sima Guo Huai of General Zhengxi (Xia Houyuan) saw Xu Huang's urgent expression, worried that he would lose his mind in his rage, so he tentatively asked: "Wei Yan appeared on Maming Pavilion Road, Gongming, don't rush to seek revenge, or stay in the Here to help the general guard Yangping Pass, how about I lead the troops to support General Junyi?"

"Boji (Guo Huai) can't trust me? I, Xu Huang, have been greatly favored by the king of Wei, and I understand clearly both public and private." Seeing Guo Huai targeting him, Xu Huang immediately confronted and asked back.

Seeing Xu Huang's anger, Xia Houyuan comforted him, "Why is Gongming doing this? Boji also has good intentions. The so-called good fighters are not angry. My own son died in battle and his bones are not left. Even if he can bear his temper and confront Liu Bei, you also put away your grief and anger for now. Just stay with me at Yangping Pass."

Xu Huang patted his chest and replied: "General, I really don't want to avenge my son. In fact, Liu Bei saw that he couldn't storm Yangping Pass, so he had to focus on the Maming Pavilion Road on the right wing. If he succeeds, we will face enemies on both sides. If the general If you don't trust Xu Huang, I would like to issue a military order."

Xia Houyuan frowned after hearing this, he knew Xu Huang's behavior roughly, he was not as likable as Zhang Liao among generals with foreign surnames, nor as annoying as Yu Jin, and not as sophisticated and tactful as Zhang Yun, he was considered as one of the few generals of the Wei State who was upright generation.

Thinking of Xu Huang's character, Xia Houyuan nodded lightly: "Forget about the military order, Gong Ming must be careful when he goes. Although Wei Yan is an unknown person, he will be brave in the battle before Yangping Pass. You only need to guard Maming Pavilion Road and consume Liu Bei. .”

"The last general takes orders." Xu Huang's words were sonorous.

"General Miaocai."

Guo Huai wanted to dissuade him but Xia Houyuan stopped him. It is impossible not to send Xu Huang to fight because his adopted son died. This is unreasonable both in public and in private.

Liu Bei's posture is not to give up until he achieves his goal. Cao Cao was worried that Xia Houyuan was not Liu Bei's opponent. When he received the battle report between Xia Houyuan and Cao Hong, he was ready to rush to Hanzhong to meet the wine cookers of the year. Unfortunately, the Wuhuan tribe in Daijun, Shanggu and other places behind him Rebellion, he can only prepare money, food, soldiers and horses for Cao Zhang to quell the rebellion.

As soon as Cao Cao settled everything in the country, he rushed to Chang'an to sit in the town without stopping. Cao Hong, Cao Xiu, and Cao Zhen were still stationed in Wudu at this time. The progress of the battle between Hanzhong and Wudu.

At this time, Cao Cao sits in Chang'an and does not move. Not only can he save food and grass consumption during the march, but he can also selectively support Wudu or Hanzhong. Under Liu Bei's pressure, Cao Cao marched into Baoxie Road to save Hanzhong.

Xu Huang led his troops to Ma Ming Pavilion Road. After the fight, he found that Wei Yan and Chen Shi's troops were putting on airs. He felt contempt for Zhang Ying again. Although Liu Bei had a large number of people attacking the flanks, this kind of combat power was not a threat at all. .

To put it bluntly, Zhang He was too cautious, but to put it bluntly, he was timid and spared his life.

After Xu Huang tried out Wei Yan's strength, he was very worried that Ma Ming Pavilion was Liu Bei's strategy, so he ignored Guangshi Zhang Yun's advice and personally led his troops to attack Liu Bei's army on the road.

Liu Beijun only feigned an attack in Ma Ming Pavilion. The soldiers were exhausted physically and mentally after several months of acting. They couldn't stand Xu Huang's fierce offensive. Wei Yan was very surprised to see Cao Jun's life-saving. Withdrew to the south of Zoumaling.

Chen Shi's troops, who were in charge of breaking the rear, couldn't resist Xu Huang. The soldiers blocked the plank road during their rapid retreat. Liu Beijun.

After the victory, Zhang He personally came to compliment him: "Gongming is brave and good at fighting. I can't match him. This victory repulsed the attack from the flanks. General Xiahou will definitely ask the king of Wei and you for credit. It's really gratifying to congratulate."

Xu Huang even forgot Zhang Yun, who was contemptuous, but frowned and said, "Didn't General Zhang notice something was wrong? Liu Bei spent so much energy attacking our army's right wing, but the combat effectiveness of this army is so unbearable. A trick by Pang Tong and Fazheng?"

After Zhang Yun heard this, he quickly argued: "Gongming is victorious this time, but he must not belittle the other party and elevate himself. Liu Bei's second-rate generals were extremely fierce before. If I couldn't stand it, how could I send troops to ask General Xiahou for help?"

"Then why are the pawns inconsistent?" Xu Huangxu asked.

Zhang He sneered: "Liu Bei's soldiers are also human, as long as they are human, they will be tired. Without soldiers to stick to this place, I believe General Gongming will not go so smoothly."

"I remember that Wei Yan came last, why did he not behave as expected?" Xu Huang still couldn't understand.

Zhang He snorted softly and replied: "That's unknown, maybe Wei Yan is afraid of General Xu's mighty power, he just became famous and he is a bit reluctant to die."

Xu Huang shook his head and said to himself: "I don't think Wei Yan is so superficial. Liu Bei's behavior in Maming Pavilion is really weird. I must return to Yangping Pass immediately to remind the general."

"General, please come back."

Zhang Yun nodded expressionlessly. He looked down on Xu Huang for being unable to calm down and ask for credit. Didn't he just beat the little-known Chen Shi, so he rushed back to Qinggong in such a hurry?

Xu Huang and Wei Yan retreated almost at the same time. During this period, Fazheng and Huang Zhong had secretly walked out of Dingjun Mountain. After meeting with Deng Ai's men, they led troops to Dingjun Mountain to choose a location to set up camp, and sent troops to guard the dangerous place up the mountain. place.

When Xu Huang returned to Yangping Pass to ask for credit, he reminded Xia Houyuan to guard against Liu Bei's tricks. Since he could cross Zouma Ridge to attack the right wing of the Wei army, why couldn't he cross Micang Mountain to outflank the left wing?
Micang Mountain is famous for its dangers, and the valley on the south bank of Mianshui is also very steep. Therefore, Jinniu Road also avoids these dangers and chooses the slightly gentle north bank of Mianshui.

After listening to Xu Huang's reminder, Xia Houyuan didn't take it seriously. He just often sent people to Liu Bei's camp on the north bank of Mianshui to inquire. At this time, Liu Bei neither retreated to Chengdu nor continued to send people to attack Yangping Pass.
