Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 1851 Never discuss in advance when an accident comes

  『God help me! 』

  Xiahou Dun stood vigorously on the rocks on the shore, watching the Yingshui rush down, with some excitement on his face. How many days have been followed by the cavalry to eat farts, and now God finally opened his eyes, the soaring Yingshui is invisible, it is equivalent to an allied army, and the range of activities of the cavalry is suddenly reduced, and it is no longer invisible to follow.

  Xiahou Dun has a special affection for this land.

  When the Yellow Turban bandits were destroying, robbing, and slaughtering this piece of land recklessly, Xiahou Dun joined the army angrily. Together with his eldest brother Cao Cao, he officially entered the army until now.

At that time, Cao Cao's art of war was still immature, and he could not be considered an elite soldier. One time, he fell too deep and was surrounded near Wuyang. .

Then there are constant north-south conquests, running from east to west. Xiahoudun knows how hard it is for Cao Cao to have his current share of the foundation, and he even knows very well what difficulties Cao Cao is facing now, so he has been trembling, loyal, and unstoppable. Don't dare to be negligent, until you meet the hussars...

  Xiahou Dun grew up on this piece of land, so he naturally wants to guard this piece of land. For Xiahoudun, the hussars and horses are actually similar to the yellow turban bandits back then. They are both destroyers of order and obstacles to Cao Cao's rise. This time, God finally stood by his side!

   Xiahou Dun doesn't care much about things outside his body like money, and Xiahou Dun doesn't care much about life and death on the battlefield. The only thing he cares about is Cao's foundation. If sacrificing his life can be exchanged for the prosperity of Cao's Xiahou clan, Xiahou Dun is willing to die.

  Under this piece of sky, Xiahoudun has defeated Bandit, Yellow Turban, Black Mountain, and Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, but now he just changed his opponent to hussars. So today, the result is the same, he will defeat the hussars here, and only then can the morale of the entire Cao army be boosted.

   This time, the crisis facing the Cao family is even more serious than before. If it fails again, the foundation of the Cao family and Xiahou family will be shaken like never before, and it may even be overturned and shaken to the point of collapse!

Since Cao Cao had entrusted Yingchuan's defense to his own hands, Xiahoudun had to set an example at this time, defeating the rebellious hussar general Feiqian's men and horses, and then drove them out of Yingchuan. Hangu Pass!

   Even if it is difficult, it must be so.

   Xiahou Dun stood on the huge rock, looking at the opposite bank with piercing eyes. "Come on, come out, I know you're here..."

  ...(￣^￣)! …

  『Tsk tsk...』

  Zhang Liao smacked his mouth.

   This time, Xiahou Dun actually drove him ahead, blocking his way! If it hadn't been raining, the exposed Yingshui river bed would have been a fairly smooth cavalry route, but now this road was undoubtedly cut off, and in turn made a great hindrance to Zhang Liao and others' progress.

  Under such circumstances, Xiahou Dun, who was more familiar with the terrain, seized the opportunity, arrived at Sanshiwan first, and began to build a defense system, which caused Zhang Liao a bit of a headache.

  『That...do you want to rush over? ’ Zhang Chen stood aside, and asked in a low voice with a tentative tone.

  Zhang Liao pointed at Xiahou Dun's soldiers who were busy like ants in the distance, "Over there, do you see that?" These guys are digging a horse pit... rushing over, and then they still have the advantage of hitting halfway, isn't it equal to giving away for nothing? 』

  『Then we... go back? ’ Zhang Chen asked again.

  Zhang Liao shook his head, glanced at Zhang Chen, and said, "Think about it this way, if you were Xiahou, how would you deal with us...He is digging a horse pit with great fanfare here, isn't he afraid that we will see it first?" 』

   "This..." Zhang Chen couldn't answer for a while.

  Zhang Liao turned his head and looked at Zhang Chen blankly, "After so many years of studying in the martial arts hall...you seem to have made little progress..."

   Zhang Chen didn't know whether it was sweat or rain on his forehead, and it rolled down, "Xiahou wants us to see it?" 』

   Zhang Liao nodded slightly and said, "That's right, this guy did it on purpose... do you know what it means?" 』

Zhang Chen subconsciously wanted to respond with "what does it mean?", but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly remembered Zhang Liao's contempt just now, and swallowed them back immediately. After a circle, it became: "The general means that these This trap is just to scare us? 』

"Hmm..." Zhang Liao nodded, then shook his head again, "It's not exactly... Xiahou must have not been here for long... So this is a trap, maybe there will be time to dig out a few of them... Once we procrastinate, I can’t guarantee how many there will be, but there are some problems with how much it is forced to charge, so we still have to find a way...』

   These pitfalls are actually Xiahou Dun's provocation.

  Zhang Liao suddenly laughed, laughing so much that Zhang Chen felt a little baffled.

  『Actually, you are also worried...isn’t it...』

  Zhang Liao muttered softly, his voice was so small that it was almost covered by the sound of raindrops, so that even Zhang Chen who was beside him couldn't hear clearly...

  …(￢_￢)…

"We can attack Luoyang...in fact, it is possible..." Xia Houyuan grinned, but he didn't dare to let go of his voice too much. He just muttered to Cao Chun beside him, "If Luoyang is captured, the **** hussars will have no way out. ...'

When Cao Cao arrived in Chenliu, Yanzhou yesterday, he immediately ordered Xia Houyuan to pluck his hair, uh, his coat, and publicly gave twenty lashes under the gate of the barracks, and warned that the twenty lashes were only a temporary interest. The original crime of defeating the army required Xia Houyuan to take the blame and perform meritorious service...

   Then Cao Cao asked Cao Chun and Xia Houyuan to immediately lead the remaining Cao cavalry to Yingchuan to help Xiahou Dun. And Cao Cao himself will then set off to Yingchuan together.

  Of course, although it is also 20 lashes, some people may be directly disabled by 20 lashes, and some are just flesh wounds. Xia Houyuan is naturally the latter, don't ask why, it is a temporary worker, so Xia Houyuan can still get on the horse and rush to the front line with Cao Chun.

However, Xia Houyuan didn't dare to grin his teeth in front of Cao Cao, so he could only vent his dissatisfaction in front of Cao Chun. In Xia Houyuan's view, since Cao Cao has already arrived at the Chenliu realm in Yanzhou, isn't Luoyang just a short distance away? Why not? Choose to attack Luoyang, but gather in Yingchuan?

Xia Houyuan never forgot to fight Luoyang. In fact, it was not because Xia Houyuan had a deep understanding of the overall strategy of Hussar General, but it was probably because he was defeated near Luoyang, so he thought where he would fall. It's just where to get up, not entirely from a strategic perspective.

  Cao Chun had listened to Xia Houyuan's nagging several times along the way, and couldn't help it, so he couldn't help shouting: "This is an order from Sikong!" 』

  Xia Houyuan suddenly lost his temper, and then involuntarily slowed down the pace of the horse.

  Cao Chun did not continue to entangle with Xia Houyuan, but continued to move forward.

   This white general!

Cao Chun couldn't help complaining in his heart. If you have an opinion, you should speak out before the lord makes a decision, to see if you can get the approval of the lord and everyone. How can you not say anything in front of the lord, and then wait for the lord to go down? Order, and then find someone to mutter the truth?

  What do you mean, do you want me to say it for you?

   Or is it just for fun, just for talking?

   What's more, Cao Chun can somewhat understand Cao Cao's intentions...

   Attacking Luoyang and cutting off the return of the hussars have lost their original strategic significance.

In Xiahoudun's intelligence, it was stated that the hussars went all the way to Luoyang and marched all the way to Yingchuan, and even though those who returned to Luoyang couldn't stop the joint attack of Cao Jun, they didn't want to keep them. easy! Once it is said that attacking Luoyang is not good, and then the interior of Yingchuan is disturbed by hussars again, then when the news reaches the ears of Cao Cao's soldiers, the morale collapses and the total collapse is really terrible!

  Cao Chun couldn't help thinking of the hussar general he saw on the small earth mountain...

  『Changshan Zhao Zilong...』

   I don’t know but in Yingchuan?

  In this world, there are so many heroes...

  Cao Chun thought, and then involuntarily glanced at Xia Houyuan who was behind him. Of course, this is the only way for General Baidi, who only has a head but no heart.

Although Cao Chun also wanted to rush to Yingchuan as soon as possible according to Cao Cao's order, but because of the rain, the road was slippery, and the physical exertion on the horses was much more than normal weather, Cao Chun had to control the situation. Speed, after traveling for a certain distance, seeing that the sky was getting late, he ordered to find a shelter from the rain for rest.

  『Where is the front? 』Cao Chun pointed to a group of buildings in the distance amidst the drizzle.

  『General Qi, it seems to be Xu Jiabao...』

  …@(￣-￣)@…

   Ying water.

   Sanshi Bay.

   A few hours later, Xiahou Dun was waiting in the continuous rain. I don't know whether it was because the rain took away the heat from his body or washed away his enthusiasm, which made Xiahou Dun feel a little uneasy.

  The mountains and forests on the opposite bank are filled with rain, mist and water vapor, which makes it a bit unreal, just like the landscape in the picture scroll, full of a mysterious color.

  Will I add to the liking?

  Xiahou Dun looked at his men who were digging the horse pit in the light rain, and fell silent for a moment.

There is a cloud in the art of war, and the truth is true. According to the principle, if I want to ambush, it is naturally best not to show any traces, but since there are not many terrains that can be used to hide on the side of Sanshiwan, secondly, Xiahou Dun Thinking that since he dared to act alone, the general under the hussars who led the troops southward to press Yingchuan must also be a brave man, and it is not true but false, false but real, although the soldiers were set up to dig a horse pit, But the number of people is not large, which is tantamount to putting pressure on the hussars...

  Come to play?

   With just this few people, if you don’t come to attack, if you wait any longer, there will be more and more traps...

  However, several hours passed, and the other side of Yingshui seemed to be unbelievably quiet, which made Xiahou Dun's original confidence a little impetuous, not so sure and sure.

   Could it be that the hussars on the opposite side saw the Tibetan soldiers behind me, so they didn't come out?

  Xiahou Dun looked back, probably not, unless someone could see through the stone, or they couldn't see it from the angle of the other side of the river.

  Or maybe the hussars haven't arrived here yet?

   Also unlikely. Although it is said that Xiahoudun and others took a shortcut, they are still pawns after all. Logically speaking, the time should be about the same...

   Or did the hussars get scared and turned back when they saw these traps?

   This is even more impossible. After all, the matter of military strategists is not about children playing around, repenting when they say they regret it, wanting it for a while, not doing anything, just going out for a walk? What's more, because of the rain, the only ferry left at Sanshiwan can still pass through the water. Could it be that the hussars dared to fight the rapids?

  Xiahou Dun couldn't help but glanced up and down in the turbulent Yingshui several times, and found no corpses of people and horses that had drowned, so he let go of his thoughts a little.

  Of course, there is another possibility, that is, these hussars are wasting in the mountains and forests, hoping to wait until the rain stops and the water level of Yingshui drops again...

But Xiahoudun knew that if the Yingshui rose, it would not take ten days and half a month to fall back. After all, it is not only raining over the Yingshui River, but such a large area of ​​rainwater around it will eventually gather In the Yingshui, so if these hussars really wanted to spend it, Xiahou Dun would be happy to see it succeed!

   But the question is, what do the hussars think and how will they choose?

Digging a pit on a rainy day is obviously not as easy as when the weather is sunny. The rainwater mixed with the soil will flow down the edge of the pit continuously, and a layer of accumulated water will soon form in the center of the pit. Cao Jun's soldiers digging inside the pit also fell from time to time because they couldn't stand steadily, and then fell all over their bodies with mud and water, quite embarrassing.

  Xiahou Dun looked at those men who were digging the pit, and seemed to have some insights in his heart. Could it be that the hussars thought that I was digging holes here just for show, and it was impossible to dig any decent holes in rainy days?

  『Come on! Xiahoudun ordered, and sent another team of soldiers to replace those who seemed a little tired after digging for several hours.

  Yes, it is indeed inconvenient to dig pits on rainy days, but is it true that only deep pits can trap horses? The accumulated ooze and potholes of different depths can also hinder the marching and galloping of war horses! As long as the speed of the war horse cannot be increased, isn't the goal achieved? If we continue to dig like this, there will be mud all over the river bank. Let's see how the cavalry can move!

  I don’t believe it, these hussars can really stand it!
