Three Kingdoms: The Guan Family's Rebellious Son, Long Blessing Jing Xiang

Chapter 651 Zhang He’s world fell into complete darkness
Xia Houjuan, this woman has a special status in Shu Han.

If it develops according to the original trajectory of history.

After the fall of the Shu Han, the descendants of Guan Yu will be exterminated by Pang Hui, the descendant of Pang De;
Liu Chanhui was imprisoned in "Wanbai Mountain" and "Adou Village" in Yecheng... and he was lucky enough to save his life.

Zhang Fei's descendants are the luckiest among them. His second son, Zhang Shao, even after his surrender, was granted the title of Marquis, and his glory will always be there.

The root of these qualities lies in Xia Houjuan, this woman.

Zhang Shao's aunt was this famous aunt, but because of her relationship with Chai Jing, she married Zhang Fei and became the "Third Lady" of Shu - Xia Houjuan!

Of course, in addition to the title "Third Lady", as Xia Houyuan's adopted daughter, she has taken care of these younger brothers since childhood.

Naturally, even now...these brothers have grown up and have hardened wings, but they still will not forget the love and kindness they had when they were young!
This is roughly the same as the "dog raising" theory.

This means that no matter how fierce and fierce the dog is, there are still people who cannot or dare not resist.

It is because they were cared for and protected by such a "master" when they were still very young.

As time goes by, a pattern will be formed in their minds.

To protect the one who protected them.

This is a pattern deeply embedded in my heart and buried deep in my mind——

Undoubtedly... Xiahou Ba was just one of those "puppies" to Xiahou Juan.

"sister…"

With another such call, Xia Houjuan frowned and bit his lips slightly, "I don't have a life-or-death brother like you..."

"But..." Xiahou Ba explained: "But...but I became a prisoner. I am the son of the Xiahou family...but I..."

Before Xia Houba could finish his words, Xia Hojuan's slender arm suddenly waved, "I'm still married to Zhang Yide... I also gave birth to two sons for him... Don't I belong to the Xia Hou family..."

At the end of the sentence, Xia Houjuan's voice was choked with sobs. He didn't know whether it was because of his family and position, or because of the stubborn and stupid look in the eyes of his younger brother...

All of this gave her some emotions that were too complicated to describe.

"Yes..." Xiahou Ba's voice was a little frustrated: "My sister is a woman from the Xiahou family, but she is also the wife of the third general in Shu... My sister's position... my position is..."

"It is precisely because of this stance that you can stand here and talk to me instead of hanging your head high on the gate after being beheaded..."

Xia Houjuan's voice suddenly rose, a bit sad.

This this…

Xiahou Ba looked at his sister dully. For a moment, he was a little panicked and at a loss.

What my sister said doesn't sound good, but...but it is undoubtedly the true fact!

"Don't seek life and death!" Xia Houjuan said again, "Just stay here..."

"Wait?" Xiahou Ba bit his lip, "But my father, brother, and younger brother... are still on the Hanzhong battlefield, bathing in blood..."

No wait...he finished his sentence.

"Shut up..." Xia Houjuan directly interrupted what he was going to say with a cold tone.

Xia Houjuan pursed his lips, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Since you can come here, maybe... our father and brother will come here soon... Although, I don't hope that this day will come, but there is no doubt that... This is the best destination for our Xiahou family——"

After saying that, Xiahou Juan moved lightly to turn around and leave, but when he reached the door, Xiahou Ba shouted again.

"What sister means is that after my father and brother conquer Chengdu, will they rescue me and my sister back together?"

This sudden sentence, with an extremely domineering and arrogant tone, sounded a bit whimsical to Xia Houjuan.

But it was this sentence that made Xia Houjuan's raised lotus steps suddenly stop. Her expression was a little complicated. She pondered for a moment before speaking: "What are you thinking about? Your father, your brother...is your uncle, They are no match for Shiro Seki, just wait and see, one day they will be captured here like you and me!"

what…

As his sister's words blurted out, Xiahou Ba couldn't help but open his mouth. He...he would never have thought that the sister who loved him the most when he was a child would actually say such words that would enhance other people's ambitions and destroy his own prestige!

and many more…

Xiahou Ba suddenly woke up and realized something else:
——"What sister is talking about...is Shiro Seki?" Rather than...that big-eared thief Liu Bei? 』

——"Has the hand of Shiro Seki already reached the Hanzhong battlefield?" 』

...

...

After Yang Ping closed the gate, Xia Houyuan was still walking leisurely when the scout came again to report: "Report, general, Master Heng has caught up with Liu Bei's main force, and a fierce battle is going on under the surprise attack! Master Cheng is also surrounding him from the front... The two armies have become The momentum of encirclement!”

"How is the battle going?" Xia Houyuan asked.

"The Shu army was completely defeated, and Liu Bei could no longer control the defeat. The various units of the Shu army dispersed like birds and beasts, and fled in all directions... All the baggage, armor, and weapons were scattered all over the mountains and fields, and were thrown everywhere..."

Hearing this, "Haha...", Xia Houyuan laughed and said: "The big-eared thief is still the same big-eared thief. He has not changed after decades, and he is vulnerable. Haha... This time God is going to give me this A pair of children make a name for themselves...hahaha..."

Xia Houyuan's laughter was particularly hearty, as if a victory was imminent and he was sure to win this battle.

Jia Xu, on the other hand, pursed his lips, as if he was deep in thought because of something he thought of.

Something was murmuring in his mouth.

Seeing this, Xia Houyuan quickly asked, "What is Mr. Jia thinking about?"

"Eight times!" Jia Xu narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "Eight military reports in a row, each time it was a great victory, each time the Shu army abandoned their helmets and armor and fled in all directions, each time they confiscated their weapons , there are countless armors, but... how about annihilating the enemy eight times... The number of enemies annihilated each time is very small, isn't this a huge problem in itself? "

hiss…

Needless to say, Jia Xu's words really startled Xia Houyuan. His eyebrows went from being relaxed to being deeply condensed in just one moment.

He immediately opened his mouth and asked the scout, "Where is Zhang He? Where is he?"

"General Zhang He saw the army's successive victories and intercepted Liu Bei this time. He also led all his cavalry to charge towards him——"

Following the scout's words.

Jia Xu's eyebrows were deeply condensed, but Xia Houyuan opened his mouth in a roar, but when the words came to his lips, he choked up, and thousands of words were reduced to two words:

--"not good…"

--"not good!"

The so-called authorities are confused, Xiahou Heng said so when he was on the battlefield, and Xiahou said so.

Although Zhang He was cautious enough, he was also like this, and even Xiahou Yuan was like this. Now... after hearing Jia Xu's order, they immediately felt something was wrong.

"Pass my military order and order the troops immediately. I, the general, will personally lead the troops——"

"General!" Jia Xu hurriedly advised: "No, the king has repeatedly issued orders not to allow the general to leave the seclusion..."

"I don't care about so much anymore!" Xia Houyuan's tone became urgent, "If I don't go, my son will die——"

At this moment, there was a "click" and a young general was seen kneeling down on one knee, "A general cannot disobey the king's order. Why not send the last general to go, and the last general will only take his own troops... It would be best if nothing happens. If something happens, the general will definitely bring the two young masters back!"

Following the sudden sound, Xia Houyuan turned his head and looked.

The person kneeling on one knee was none other than Jiang Wei!
...

...

It was already dark, and the troops of Xiahou Heng and Xiahou Cheng were fighting fiercely with Liu Bei's army.

The two sides fought their way out of the dense forest and came to a valley.

"The Shu thieves are in front, and the sons and gentlemen are sanding -"

Another voice resounded...

It was Zhang He's cavalry who was also involved in this battle.

Brothers Xia Houheng and Xia Houcheng attacked Liu Bei together, but were stopped by Zhao Yun. Xia Houheng fired a shot. Zhao Yun seemed to be unable to dodge and his helmet was stabbed off. For a moment, Changshan Zhao Zilong, who was seven in and seven out, was actually He looked very embarrassed.

Zhang Fei stepped forward to rescue him, but he never thought that when brothers Xia Houheng and Xia Houcheng saw Zhang Fei, they were extremely angry and started to kill more and more...

The two shouted in unison: "Black-faced ghost, give back to my eldest sister——"

Zhang He saw that the battlefield was like wind and lingering clouds. The ordnance and armor of the Shu army were everywhere, and the Shu troops were scattered everywhere. Even famous generals like Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun appeared to be full of power under the pressure of the two Xiahou young generals. Embarrassed.

"Assault up, kill without mercy..."

Zhang He roared, and his personal guards rushed forward...

Zhang He, on the other hand, was unhurried... Because he only had one arm, he did not take the lead, but always carefully observed his surroundings.

But as the soldiers rushed into the enemy's formation, he realized something was wrong.

too weak!
Even if the Shu army has run out of food and grass and has no fighting spirit, it should not be so weak.

At least, this Liu Bei's army should not be like this.

You know, Liu Bei has many brave soldiers who follow him all over the world. What haven't you seen of these brave soldiers? Liu Bei has fought a lifetime of losing battles. What battle has he never lost? How rich are their experiences of defeat?

How could it be so embarrassing?

Thinking of this, Zhang Hehu looked around suspiciously, but with just one look, he realized something was wrong and quickly opened his mouth: "This place is dangerous... it's easy to ambush!"

Thinking of this, he quickly shouted to the Wei army beside him: "Retreat quickly, exit the valley, and retreat into the woods!"

However, in the current situation, a sunset hung over the forest trees, and the mountains and forests seemed to be stained with blood. The Wei army was already red-eyed. Taking advantage of the retreat of the Shu army, many Wei soldiers had begun to collect the spoils of war. The armors and ordnance all over the ground, There are also money bags, cloth and silk, and jade pendants...there are countless of them!
In this situation, who would be willing to take a step back?

really!

At this time, rows of hazy shadows appeared on the top of the mountain. Suddenly, flames shot into the sky on both sides, and boulders rolled down randomly toward the middle...

Zhang He noticed that the Shu army had already retreated and left because they were fleeing in all directions.

On the contrary, they...were in the middle.

"Ha ha ha ha…"

Zhang Fei's Zhangba Snake Spear forced Xia Houheng and Xia Houchen back together with one force. Because of the majestic force, the two of them were completely shaken apart and fell to the ground. Zhang Fei looked at them and smiled even more heartily, "Hahaha, you juniors, you actually think that I can't beat you? Haha, kid, use your brain more! Back then, when I raised my voice, your peers became heartbroken. !Ha ha ha ha…"

With this laughter…

Zhao Yun's voice also came at one point, "Yide, have you forgotten that they are your brothers-in-law... If they are killed by thousands of arrows, how will you explain to your wife?"

Well…

In the excitement of killing, Zhang Fei almost forgot about this.

It is true that his wife Xia Houjuan had told Zhang Fei not to worry about his family status and to let Zhang Fei go all out. Being kind to the enemy is to be soft to oneself.

But now... Why kill him when he can get it easily? Wouldn't it be better to capture him? Let Xiahou and his family reunite in Shu. What a beautiful scene!

With this in mind, Zhang Fei turned his head to Zhao Yun seriously, "Zilong, let's do it one by one..."

As they spoke, they dismounted and went to capture Xia Houheng and Xia Houcheng respectively.

The two young masters of the Xiahou family still wanted to resist, but who would have thought that they were fighting back and forth just now, but now... they were completely unable to fight back.

In just an instant, the two of them were captured, their hands tied behind their backs, and dragged onto the horse.

The whole thing is like an eagle catching a chicken.

It was only then that the two young masters of the Xiahou family realized.

Acting... both the black-faced ghost and the white-horse general are acting.

In order to lure them here, no... just to lure all the Wei troops, they took great pains -

despair…

It was precisely after thinking of this that Xia Houheng and Xia Houcheng felt extremely desperate.

...

"There is fraud... there is fraud!"

"Why did I, Zhang He, capsize in this ditch?"

Zhang He's desperate cry...

At this time, the entire 20,000 ambush troops on the mountain had been listed. Some were holding torches high, and some were silently holding on to their crossbows. The valley was illuminated like daylight, and the crossbows were facing the middle of the valley. A group of Wei soldiers.

Fa Zheng stands here.

Liu Bei walked up slowly, as if he had been there just now as a bait.

Fazheng saw Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun capturing the Xiahou brothers, so he said to Liu Bei, "It seems that the three generals and General Zilong have had enough fun..."

Liu Bei let out a sigh of relief and turned his gaze to Zhang He in the valley.

He said with a bit of regret: "It's a pity that it's not Xia Houyuan who came..."

Fazheng nodded, but said comfortingly: "However, being able to keep Zhang He, one of the five good generals who rebelled against the Wei Dynasty, here is a worthwhile strategy..."

Thinking of this, Liu Bei pointed to the valley, and what he thought of was Guan Lin... It was Adou, it was Zhuge Ke, it was Fu Shiren, it was every hero who sent food and grass... it was those destined achievements in this battle!

Among these names, Liu Bei's figure became excited, and he gave his final instructions.

"shoot--"

Thousands of crossbows fired in unison, covering the sky and the moon... The sky was filled with fire as if they were completely covered by the black crossbow arrows, and then... Zhang He and the entire world of tens of thousands of Wei troops fell into complete darkness!
...

...

Before Jiang Wei's reinforcements arrived, he saw the fire on the distant mountain and heard the faint screams in the wind.

All the soldiers were shocked. Jiang Wei swallowed and chanted: "It seems that, as Mr. Jia said, it is still too late..."

indeed…

Jiang Wei took the initiative to ask Ying to go out to rescue Xia Houyuan on his behalf, and made a grand promise. These were all instructed by Jia Xu.

If it is a plan...

The defeat is inevitable...

What you need to do at this time is to stop the loss in time!
Instead of sinking deeper and deeper!

With a "gudong" sound, Jiang Wei swallowed a mouthful of saliva and couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

——"Mr. Jia is really good...this time, I learned from him again." 』

——"If you have the chance, can you become your teacher?" Then avenging his father will definitely... give him a better chance of winning! 』

Jiang Wei thought so.

The soldier beside him was so nervous that he couldn't breathe. He couldn't help but ask Jiang Wei, "General... what should we do?"

Jiang Wei didn't reply...

But his expression was solemn, neither sad nor happy, listening to the sounds of killing in front of him, but he seemed to be giving orders.

This command has only one word:

--wait!

Wait until it's all over, wait until it's time to collect the corpses for the army ahead.

...

...

The torch was bright, and Zhang He's body was placed on Yangping Pass. He was hit by dozens of arrows, and his death was extremely tragic.

Xia Houyuan, Guo Huai, and Sun Li couldn't bear to look directly at him.

Jia Xu, on the other hand, looks at his nose with his eyes, and his mind with his nose, giving him a sense of déjà vu that he has long expected.

In fact, he had felt this way since Cao Cao sent people to prevent Xia Houyuan from sending troops, but... he was not sure, not to mention... with no food and no support, no one would let go of such a God-given opportunity when the enemy was in such a predicament.

Jiang Wei knelt on the ground, bowed his hands and said, "I am incompetent... Before I could get to the rescue, I just... saw General Zhang's body like this. I am incompetent, please punish me!"

Xia Houyuan supported the stone wall of the city gate with one hand and kept shaking his head. Even if he was shocked by the bad news, he couldn't believe that a Shu army with such low morale, no fighting spirit, and no food or support could... just... Can you lay such a careful plan?

ambush? Fake defeat? Bait? Don’t these...do you need to fill your stomach?

Can you still listen to the coach's orders when you're hungry?

Puzzled…

Xia Houyuan was left with deep confusion.

At this time...

"Report..." A soldier came with news, "Young Master Heng and Young Master Cheng were captured by the Shu army and are now being escorted in front of the battle... The Shu army marched towards Dingjun Mountain in large numbers... Our army is afraid of hurting the two young masters, I don't know... I don't know What to do?”

"Report, the Shu army has reached Dingjun Mountain, and our army's defense line has completely collapsed -"

"Report..."

Because of the defeat in this battle, battle reports sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

Xia Houyuan, on the other hand, did not panic when he was tired of dealing with it, nor did he attack Dingjun Mountain because the enemy took his two sons as hostages...

Instead, it was anger, the ultimate anger.

"Clang..."

In front of Guo Huai, Sun Li, Jia Xu, Jiang Wei and the other scouts, Xia Houyuan angrily pushed down the bamboo slips and maps on the table.

Then with a "boom" sound, he angrily kicked the table in front of him into two pieces.

The extremely ferocious and terrifying cheeks were filled with the color of extreme anger, and he was roaring hysterically.

"Attack Dingjun Mountain? Huh... attack Dingjun Mountain?"

"Who can tell me? Where does the Shu army's food come from? Who can tell me? Tell me -"

Yangpingguan is as tall and strong as ever.

The trail in front of Yangping Pass is as narrow as ever...

It is as easy to defend and difficult to attack here as ever, and as always one man can block the barrier and ten thousand others cannot break it.

But...but at this moment, Xia Houyuan's resting voice, that angry tone, resounded here, with lingering sounds, echoes, and endless echoes——

Zhang He!

Sons Xia Houheng and Xia Houcheng!

More than 30,000 troops...or cavalry, just...just gone! Gone--

It is no exaggeration to say that this is the biggest setback Xia Houyuan has ever encountered in his life! The heaviest moment!
On the other hand, Jia Xu...

Listening to Xia Houyuan's roar, he closed his eyes and couldn't help but ask himself:

——"Who can bring the food here?" 』

——"Most likely, it has to be Guan Lin from Jingzhou. He has done this kind of miraculous action of surviving desperate situations and turning decay into miraculous actions too many times, and he has completed it too many times..."

——"Oh, General Zhang He...if you die under Guan Lin's plan, it doesn't mean you have dishonored your reputation as a good general!" It's just...how to defend Hanzhong next time! How to keep it? 』

Yes…

How will Hanzhong be defended next time?

At this moment, Jia Xu, who had always been calm and restrained, was fooled by Jia Da. He was also confused. He was deeply at a loss and confused about the way forward!
