Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Xiahou Dun said: "My Lord, although we have hatred against Cao Cao.

But no matter what, Cao Cao is a former subordinate of the lord, so we need to be careful in our attitude towards him. "

Liu Bei agreed with this deeply. The relationship between them was rather complicated. If anything happened to Cao Cao, Liu Xie would definitely blame him.

Liu Bei hesitated for a moment and said, "Then let Wen Yuan be responsible for protecting General Xiahou Yuan."

Xiahou Yuan was the most powerful general under Liu Bei. Apart from Xiahou Yuan, no one else could be competent for this task.

When Lu Bu heard this, a smile appeared on his face. Xiahou Yuan was shooting himself in the foot.

As for Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang, they didn't mind Xiahou Yuan being transferred away.

Anyway, as long as they are not asked to follow Xiahou Yuan on the southern expedition, nothing else matters.

"Yes, I obey your command!" Xiahou Dun replied.

When Xiahou Yuan heard that Xiahou Dun wanted to protect him, he frowned slightly, but didn't say much.

"Has Xiahou Yuan led his troops out of Yecheng?" Li Ru received the news.

"That's right, Military Advisor Li, when do we start?" Li Yan asked respectfully.

Li Ru said calmly: "Don't rush to act. Yecheng is heavily guarded now. If we rush in rashly, we will easily fail. So we must wait for an opportunity first."

"Yes, military advisor!" Li Yan agreed.

On the other side, Xiahou Yuan led his army on the road.

Xiahou Yuan felt that the surrounding environment was becoming more and more desolate.

The plants here are withered and yellow, and there is not even the sound of insects or birds, which makes it seem particularly lonely.

Xiahou Yuan suddenly said: "Everyone, the environment here is too harsh.

We are still half a month away from our goal, so we should take this time to rest and improve the soldiers' mental state as much as possible."

Xiahou Yuan did not waste this time. While training soldiers, he was also learning about military management.

Xiahou Yuan knew what his advantage was, which was that he was good at commanding troops in battle.

Because he is good at riding and shooting, he can lead the cavalry to charge into battle.

Therefore, Xiahou Yuan has strong confidence in his command ability.

This time, Xiahou Yuan led the troops personally in order to prove himself and increase his reputation.

As long as he wins and captures Cao Cao alive, then Xiahou Yuan will become a relative of the Han Dynasty. At that time, he will be a member of the royal family.

Moreover, his father, Xiahou Yuan, was originally a General of Cavalry. Now, Xiahou Yuan is the son of a General of Cavalry and will inherit his father's title in the future.

Ordinary people simply cannot resist such temptation.

Moreover, Xiahou Yuan knew that this period was a period of reform.

If their army defeated Cao Cao, they would receive a huge reward, and Xiahou Yuan would also have millions of dollars and enjoy endless wealth and splendor.

Xiahou Yuan felt that this was his best chance to rise, so he was determined to take over Yanzhou at all costs!
Xiahou Yuan said to a captain beside him, "Mengqi, please go check if there are any enemy ambushes nearby."

"Yes, General!" the captain replied, and then left the team.

"Brother, there are mountains and forests everywhere, where are the enemy troops?" Xiahou Dun said dissatisfiedly.

Xiahou Yuan snorted coldly: "Xiahou Zhongkang, don't forget that you are just our prisoner now!"

"You!" Xiahou Dun's face turned pale.

Xiahou Yuan continued, "This is a military order! If you violate it, you will be punished by military law!"

"I" Xiahou Dun was suddenly speechless.

Xiahou Yuan sneered: "Humph! I think it's you who wants to escape."

"You are talking nonsense! How could I, Xiahou Dun, a seven-foot-tall man, be afraid of life and death on the battlefield?" Xiahou Dun said angrily.

"Yes, General Xiahou is a hero, how could he be afraid of fighting on the battlefield?" Xiahou Yuan said sarcastically.

"You!" Xiahou Dun was choked. Xiahou Yuan continued, "Xiahou Zhongkang, this time we are going to the battle to avenge our humiliation.

If you dare to behave in the slightest, don't blame me for being rude!"

Xiahou Dun gritted his teeth and said, "I won't!"

"Hmph! That's better!" Xiahou Yuan sneered.

"General, I have discovered something." At this time, a scout came on horseback and reported to Xiahou Yuan.

"What's the matter?" Xiahou Yuan asked.

The scout said, "General, we have heard the sound of dense footsteps in the surrounding mountains and forests. It seems that many enemy troops are approaching us."

Xiahou Yuan's face changed: "The enemy is attacking, be alert immediately!"

"promise!"

"The entire army is on alert!" Xiahou Yuan shouted.

Xiahou Yuan's soldiers quickly took up a defensive posture, while Xiahou Yuan came to the front of the line and stared at the mountains and forests ahead.

"Da da da!"

Suddenly, the sound of hurried horse hooves came from the front.

Xiahou Yuan's face was solemn. The sound definitely meant that the enemy was attacking, and there were quite a few of them.

"Kill!" A roar was heard, and countless cavalrymen galloped out from the mountains and forests.

"Shoot!" Xiahou Yuan made a quick decision and immediately ordered the soldiers to shoot.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!" Bows and crossbows were shot out, and countless arrows shot towards the cavalry.

The cavalry dodged the arrows and rushed towards Xiahou Yuan.

"Kill!" Xiahou Yuan drew his sword and shouted.

The two sides soon collided with each other, and blood splattered.

Xiahou Yuan swung left and right with his sword in hand, and several cavalrymen fell with every strike.

The position where he was was like a meat grinder, and any cavalryman who got close to him would basically be doomed to death.

Xiahou Yuan had been holding on to his formation. He knew that the enemy must have a trick up their sleeves. If the formation was disrupted, it would be extremely disadvantageous for them.

Xiahou Yuan was very powerful, and his soldiers worked well together, so they managed to hold off the enemy's fierce attack.

Xiahou Yuan's performance attracted a lot of people. This time, Xiahou Yuan brought 15,000 soldiers, scattered in various places.

The scouts sent by Cao Cao were unable to discover how many soldiers were in these places and could only rely on the data they had previously detected.

Cao Cao also sent out a number of scouts, but the results were not much different from those found by the scouts.

This made Cao Cao very angry.

"Damn Xiahou Yuan, he actually distributed the soldiers so sparsely." Cao Cao said angrily.

Dian Wei comforted him: "Don't worry, my lord. This gives us a chance to catch them all in one fell swoop."

Cao Cao said, "Send the order down, order the three generals Zhang Ji, Chen Gong, and Xu Chu to lead the army and make sure to capture these soldiers."

"Yes!" Dian Wei accepted the order.

Cao Cao then said to Xun You: "Wenyuan, I heard that you and Xiahou Yuan have an old grudge. Go and persuade them to surrender. If you succeed, I will reward you handsomely."

"I obey your order!" Xun You said.

After Xun You left the tent, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a hint of sneer, and he thought to himself.

Do you really think I don’t know what you’re thinking? This will mean you’ve failed.

You don't have to take responsibility. Haha, you are really vicious. (End of this chapter)
