The Strongest Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

Afterwards, Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and said, "Although Xia Houyuan managed to get to Shangyu, it may not be so easy to go back to see Cao Cao.

The surrounding cities have long belonged to us, but I want to see where he can go? "

"Prime Minister, the general is willing to pursue Xia Houyuan and capture him alive to His Majesty!"

Zhang He heard the meaning of Zhuge Liang's words, and immediately volunteered.

Only then did Huang Zhong come to his senses, and quickly volunteered.

Seeing the performance of the two generals, Zhuge Liang smiled slightly: "Since the two generals want to make contributions, I can't refuse.

Zhang He, you and I will march westward with an army of [-] to pursue Xia Houyuan.Even if Xia Houyuan can't be captured, he still has to strive to get the entire Longxi County in his pocket! "

"Here!" Zhang He heard the words, stepped forward to take the command arrow with an excited face, and kept it carefully.

Huang Zhong saw that Zhuge Liang had handed over this task to Zhang He, with regret and envy on his face.

Zhuge Liang naturally saw Huang Zhong's thoughts at a glance.

He said with a smile: "General Huang, don't be so sorry! There are opportunities to make contributions, although you can't go after Xia Houyuan.

But there is still a chance! "

Huang Zhong was a little excited at first, but then he became gloomy.

Now the biggest fish is Xiahouyuan. If you can't catch Xiahouyuan, what's the point of other miscellaneous fish generals?

So he couldn't help complaining: "The big fish have run away, what's the point of the trash fish?"

"Hahahaha!" Zhuge Liang laughed when he heard the words.

"You, are you making fun of me, Huang Zhong?" Huang Zhong hadn't received the mission in the first place, but now being laughed at by Zhuge Liang, he was naturally a little emotional.

After Zhuge Liang finished laughing, he waved his hands and said, "Old General Huang, don't get me wrong. That's not what I meant.

The reason why he laughed just now was because General Huang's vision was too narrow, and he kept staring at the three-acre land in Shangyu.

If Xia Houyuan is considered a big fish, I would like to ask General Huang, what should Liu Bei be considered? "

When Huang Zhong heard this, he was shocked for an instant, and then ecstasy appeared on his face.

"From Chen Cang's sources, Liu Bei's main force has arrived in Hanzhong, and will join Zhang Fei in Dasan Pass soon.

Started to launch a general attack on Dasan Pass.So His Majesty ordered me to wait, while the other party's attention is on the big break.

Go south at the fastest speed, capture Wudu County, and then threaten Hanzhong from west to east, cutting off the connection between Hanzhong and Dashan Pass.

If this plan is successful, Liu Bei can be captured alive in one battle, but the disaster in Yizhou will be completely resolved.

I don't know if this kind of credit is considered a meritorious deed? "

"Forget it! Forget it! Thanks to the prime minister's clear words, the old man is suddenly enlightened! If the prime minister has any orders, just order them!"

Huang Zhong was finally persuaded by Zhuge Liang, and then stated that he would fully implement it.

Zhuge Liang was also polite, and directly gave the order.

"Huang Zhong listened to the order, and I will also give you [-] soldiers and horses, and set off southward today, passing through Rongqiu and entering Wudu County.

Occupy the entire territory of Wudu County in the shortest time, and cut off the connection between the old road and Hanzhong. "

"The last general takes orders!"

While Zhuge Liang was making the next arrangement, Xia Houyuan on the other side had already fled in embarrassment.

Finally, after shuttling through the mountains and forests, after passing through the Shehu Valley, they discovered a problem that troubled the army to continue moving forward.

That is the shortage of food and grass.

Originally, when Xia Houyuan escaped from Shangyu City, he did not carry much food and grass.

The consumption of this period of time made the already small food reserves even more stretched.

"Father, there is only two days' worth of food left for our army. This amount of food is not enough to support our return to Jincheng!"

Xia Houyuan waved his hand, indicating that he already knew.

In fact, he is worrying about this right now.

Shangyu's defeat made Xia Houyuan no longer have the belief to continue fighting, and just wanted to return to Jincheng as soon as possible.

However, the shortage of food and grass cast a cloud over the itinerary.

"Father, there is a gathering at the door, why don't you go to the county town to borrow some food?"

"Don't be impulsive, this way, the reason why we have been taking small roads is because the surrounding big cities have already been occupied by the other side.

Maybe this Luomen gathering is also among them. Now that it's over, wouldn't it be a self-inflicted trap? "

Xia Houyuan was already a little worried, and the grass and trees were all soldiers.

This is not to say that he is afraid, but that he does not want to cause another disaster.

But Xiahouba insisted on it all the time, and under constant lobbying, Xiahouyuan had no choice but to agree to send him there.

Xia Houba led a hundred soldiers to the Luomenju city slowly, and immediately shouted loudly: "The defenders on the city, open the city gate quickly!"

After shouting three times in a row, a figure appeared on the city wall and looked down cautiously.
