Uncle Emperor, I am really not Wolong Zhuge!

Chapter 171 The First of the Five Mountains
Xu Huang frowned slightly, worried.I don’t know whether I will win or lose this time when Xiahou Mao and I lead [-] soldiers to Hefei.

"Gong Ming, you are too careful! We already have 20 troops in Hefei. Now you and I will bring 30 elite troops, plus the divisions gathered from all directions, with [-] subordinates. How many troops will Jiangdong have? Today's battle, It’s just you and me driving tigers and leopards into the flock of sheep. How many we can kill depends on how sharp our soldiers, horses, swords and guns are!”

"Don't mention Zhang Liao again! Since Chen Qun is greedy for life, afraid of death, afraid of swords, and betrays the Prime Minister's military intelligence, I think Zhang Liao will betray him sooner or later!"

"Among the three armies, the ones who are truly loyal to the Prime Minister are the people from my Cao family and Xiahou family!"

Xia Houmao arranged his clothes and armor, tightly held the three-pointed knife in his hand, raised his head and raised his chest, as if he was a king fighting for hegemony in the world.

Xu Huang smiled bitterly and said: "That's natural. So many troops and horses were captured by Jingzhou. Why did General Xiahou escape alone? It must be that auspicious people have their own destiny. There is a saying that if you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later. This little general This time I go to Hefei and I will definitely make a great contribution!"

"It's just that Zhang Liao has been following the prime minister for many years and has made many military exploits in conquests. He can be said to be loyal and loyal. I'm afraid he is definitely not someone who is greedy for wealth and betrays his master."

He and Zhang Liao served the prime minister together, and he was not careful when he heard Xiahou Mao speak in front of him, as if all the three armies were in vain, and only his Xiahou family and Cao family were the pillars.There is a lot of contempt in the words.Seeing that among the five good generals, Yu Jin was killed by Zhao Yun's gun when he first attacked Fancheng, while Le Jin was trampled to pieces by the elephant camp when the Nanman King's troops first arrived at Fancheng, leaving no trace of their bones. live.Now Zhang Liao is trapped in Jingzhou again and has not returned.Only he and Zhang He are left, and it is inevitable that the rabbit will die and the fox will be sad, and everything will harm its own kind.

While the two were talking, suddenly the deputy general of the army came to the two of them with a letter in hand, bowed and said: "The Prime Minister's scouts have an urgent letter, please take a look at it, General!"

Before Xu Huang reached out to pick it up, Xia Houmao snatched it away, took it apart and looked at it, laughing loudly!
"Gongming, you don't believe me. Now, don't you believe the letter written by the Prime Minister?"

While smiling, he handed the letter to Xu Huang.

"Zhang Liao has rebelled and surrendered to Liu Bei. If we meet again in the future, there is no need to show mercy. You and I will go to Hefei and send troops quickly to contain the troops in Jiangdong. I will also add more troops to you."

Above the river, the fog gradually thickened, and layers of heavy fog came over it, like monsters, swallowing up the ships one by one, and spitting them out one after another.

Xu Huang looked at the mist in the sky, feeling even more suspicious.

Zhang Liao had been in Jingzhou for more than a month and had never surrendered. Why did Zhang Liao suddenly surrender when the ten-day period was about to come and he could return to the Prime Minister's residence openly and honestly?
Zhang Liao was the most filial person, so those who refused to surrender may not have cared about Xu Du's family.But surrendering at this time will clearly mean sending your family members to death!

My relatives are in Xinye, and I will guard Xinye...

Xu Chu!

Tiger General Xu Chu, although brave, is also stupid and bloodthirsty!

If Zhang Liao's family members are killed, they will swear allegiance to Liu Bei to the death and fight with me, Prime Minister, until death!

Xu Huang sighed and was speechless.Among the generals, they all had good friendships with Zhang Liao, but the best was with Xu Huang.

The two have similar minds and have long had a sworn friendship with Jinlan.Just because Prime Minister Cao Cao was suspicious, he strictly prohibited military generals from becoming party members.That's why the two didn't become brothers.

Another gust of wind passed by, and the fleet finally sailed out of the smoke, but Xu Huang's heart was filled with fog. He didn't know where he was, let alone whether it was good or bad to go to Hefei.

"Gongming, look at my amazing shooting!" Xiahou Mao pointed at a long-tailed river bird on the mast, bent his bow and nocked an arrow, and shouted to Xu Huang with a smile.

"Oh!"

Xu Huang responded lightly and looked up at the mast absently.

Whoosh!
When the arrow was shot, the river bird seemed to have noticed it. Just when the arrow was about to hit, it suddenly spread its wings and flew away, and in the blink of an eye, it jumped into the sky.

The flying arrow rose high into the sky, and the river bird called twice, stretched out its claws, grabbed the arrowhead, and flew eastward.

Xiahou Mao suddenly blushed, threw his bow and arrow on the ground, pointed to the sky and cursed: "It must be a bird from Jiangdong, coming to tease me. When my army launches, I will raze you Jiangdong to the ground!"

Xu Huang said nothing, looking at Xiahou Mao's poor archery skills and his angry look, he became more and more confused.In the past, Prime Minister Cao sent Zhang Liao to Hefei and ordered Xiahou Mao to accompany him. Now that he has changed commanders, he is weaker than Zhang Liao, and Xiahou Mao is even more arrogant and domineering. He relies on the Prime Minister's favor and does not regard himself as the deputy commander at all. I am afraid that when he arrives in Hefei, Conflicts will inevitably arise again...

I also saw flying birds flying away with arrows, it seemed that the main army was in a disadvantage...

Is my trip to Hefei going to be a defeat?

40 troops and horses!
He has never independently commanded such a large legion in combat, especially when his deputy is Xia Houmao, a playboy who loves his achievements but has no real talent!
However, Xiahou Mao is the Prime Minister's ancestral family, and he is already engaged to the Prime Minister's daughter Qinghe.Although he is an important general under the Prime Minister, he has a foreign surname after all. Compared with Xiahou Mao, he is still far behind!
"Gongming, how do you plan to use the troops when we arrive in Hefei?"

Xia Houmao cursed, his breath became smoother, he turned to look at Xu Huang and asked.

"The soldiers are tired from afar. It's not too late to recuperate the soldiers first and find out the enemy's situation before making plans."

Xu Huang felt more and more unnatural talking to Xiahou Mao.Ever since he escaped from Jingzhou and reported Chen Qun's betrayal, he seemed to be superior to others in an instant. He always spoke in a condescending manner, acting like a prime minister.

"That's a pedantic theory! Xu Gongming is also a warrior who has fought many battles. Why is he so ignorant of military advisors? The Art of War goes like this: 'Soldiers are crafty. Only by attacking the enemy unprepared and taking him by surprise can he control the enemy's plan first and decide the outcome in one battle.' Jiangdong doesn't know you." When the two of us arrive, if we can seize the opportunity to attack without giving the enemy any precautions, we will be able to defeat the enemy with full success."

"But on the other hand, if it is delayed for a long time and the enemy is ready to attack again, wouldn't it be too late?"

Xu Huang frowned and said: "The young general only knows one, but not the other. Although Hefei is not plentiful, it is short of food and grass supplies. The three months of food and grass that you and Zhang Liao escorted last time were all lost in Jingzhou, and now it is In the spring, it is difficult to raise food and grass. I am worried that there are so many soldiers and horses in Hefei. If the food and grass are cut off, I am afraid that they will be in chaos..."

Xia Houmao waved his hands repeatedly, laughed loudly and said, "You are wrong again!"

"There are people to take care of the food and grass, so what do you and I have to worry about? There are Liu Ye in Hebei and Shandong, Xun Yu in Xuchang, Jia Xu in Wancheng, and Jiang Ji in Hefei. They are in charge of their own affairs. You and I just need to use troops!"

Xu Huang was silent again, and secretly said with hatred: "You kid with a yellow mouth, you are talking arrogantly! The prime minister is still worried day and night, unable to eat and sleep well, just to be able to arrange food and grass so as not to panic, but you are so ignorant, as the commander-in-chief, How can you not care about everything!"
