Xu Huang's weapon is a large axe, which requires strong strength to wield freely. It is a weapon between a blunt weapon and a sharp weapon. His hand movements are not chaotic when he is angry.
Chopping, chopping, chopping, smearing, smashing, and hugging, all with proper skills and ruthless moves, he took turns attacking Wei Yan with the anger of losing his son.
After all, Wei Yan was no ordinary person. He raised his Fengzui knife and fought with Xu Huang inextricably. Xu Huang often regarded him as Guan Yu.
The two fought for twenty rounds in front of Yangping Pass, with no outcome in sight. Xu Huang's head, swollen with anger and uncomfortable, became clearer and clearer with each beating.
By this time, Xu Huang's anger had completely dissipated. After all, it was common to die in battle and be shrouded in horse leather. How could Xu Wei, with his immature martial arts skills, defeat Wei Yan?
Although Wei Yan's martial arts skills are not as good as Guan Yu's, his skillful sword skills are enough to make him famous all over the world.
The two then fought for another ten rounds. Xia Houyuan on the city was afraid that Xu Huang would miss the gold and withdrew his troops. When they parted, Wei Yan returned Xu Wei to Xu Huang, and his body was snatched back by the soldiers covering the city.
Wei Yan killed the young general Xu Wei with a single blow in front of the formation, and fought with Xu Huang, the famous Cao Wei general. After returning to the camp, his colleagues came to celebrate one after another.
Liu Bei encouraged people to register their merits and said that they would be well rewarded after the war.
"Thank you so much, my lord. There is no way to repay Wei Yan for being so miserable. I will take back a few heads for my lord tomorrow." Wei Yan said excitedly.
Upon seeing this, Huang Zhong quickly interrupted: "Chief Wen has worked hard today, and it will be my turn tomorrow."
"Old general, I'm not tired." Wei Yan argued.
"You're really tired..." Huang Zhong said earnestly and kept winking at Wei Yan.
Everyone in the tent laughed when they saw the two competing for merit. At this time, Pang Tong stood up and said with a smile: "Chief Wen has already excelled today. I expect that even if Xia Houyuan dares to challenge you tomorrow, he will probably find a reason not to fight you. General Huang's appearance But by confusing the other party, you may have unexpected gains.”
"Listen, all of you. The military advisor has already gained some insight. Don't argue with me." Huang Zhong complimented quickly, like an old naughty boy.
Liu Bei and Fazheng looked at each other and smiled, and then said to Wei Yan and Huang Zhong: "Tomorrow, Chang Wen will go to battle first. After Xia Houyuan makes excuses, it won't be too late for General Huang to go to war again."
"But Military Advisor Pang just..." Huang Zhong hesitated to speak.
"Don't worry, old general, you will get what you want tomorrow." Fazheng nodded and stroked his beard very confidently.
"The French military advisor won't lie to me, right?" Huang Zhong asked.
Fazheng shook his head, "It's absolutely true."
"Okay then." Huang Zhong was doubtful.
Liu Bei and Xia Houyuan got off to a good start in their first battle. Compared to the laughter and laughter in Liu Camp on Jinniu Road, the mood of the Yangpingguan soldiers was much lower.
Xu Huang looked very bad after losing his adopted son. In order not to distract him from the battle, he buried Xu Wei by the Han River overnight. Xia Houyuan, Zhang He and others accompanied him to see him off.
On the way back to Yangpingguan, Xia Houyuan said with some self-reproach: "I would like to express my condolences, today is my fault..."
Xu Huang shook his head gently, "General, what's wrong? This is because I underestimated the enemy. He's not as skilled as others, so he deserves to suffer this disaster..."
Zhang He walked behind Guo Huai. He was a little worried that Xu Huang would ask him questions. After all, he was commenting on Wei Yan on the city wall during the day and said a few irrelevant words.
Xu Huang made a clear distinction between public and private affairs. He suppressed his grief and said: "Wei Yan's martial arts skills are not inferior to mine. We have all been deceived by his appearance. We must be careful when fighting with him in the future. If he comes to fight again tomorrow, I will compete with him again." ."
Xia Houyuan waved his hand and responded, "We'll talk about it tomorrow. I'll send you some wine to soothe your sorrow later."
"Thank you, General." Xu Huang clasped his fists.
At night, Xiahou Yuanzhen sent him plenty of wine and asked Guo Huai to drink with him until late at night. Both of them missed the next day's battle because they were drunk.
Early the next morning, Wei Yan challenged Guan Qian again.
"Xu Huang, do you still dare to fight?" Wei Yan shouted.
Xia Houyuan stuck his head out: "General Xu is still drunk after losing his son. The two of them were exhausted from the battle yesterday. You should return to the camp quickly for future battles. I, Xia Houyuan, will not take advantage of you..."
"Hmph..." Wei Yan snorted coldly, thinking that the military advisor's guess was really accurate.
When Wei Yan turned around and left, Xia Houyuan did not forget to remind him: "Forget about that Changshan Zhao Zilong..."
Wei Yan was speechless at Xia Houyuan's pickiness. When he returned to the formation, Huang Zhong was already eager to try.
After getting the signal from Liu Bei's eyes, Huang Zhong squeezed the horse's belly with his legs and rushed out. Due to being too excited and using too much force, the horse fell down in front of the pass. Fortunately, Huang Zhong used the reins to control it.
Huang Zhong almost stumbled, and this move directly frightened Liu Bei.
"Is there something wrong with Old General Huang's horse? Should we ask him to change the horse?" Liu Bei asked worriedly.
Deputy Military Advisor Fazheng advised: "It should be just an accident. The old general has already gone into battle. If he replaces him rashly, he may be laughed at by Xiahou. Why don't we take a look before talking about it?"
"This..." Liu Bei knew that Huang Zhong was very skilled in martial arts, but his horse was also very dangerous if he had problems. He didn't understand what Fazheng said.
Fazheng explained in a low voice: "Xia Houyuan is afraid of the head and the tail. This is the arrogance of the old general. He has taken a fancy to the general who conquered the west..."
"Isn't this too childish?" Liu Bei was stunned.
"It's Xia Houyuan's child's play. My lord, just watch the show." Fazheng smiled slightly.
Liu Bei summoned Zhao Yun and Wei Yan and told them: "General Huang's horse may be in trouble. You must pay close attention to it for a while. If something goes wrong, try your best to save it."
"Wei." Zhao Yun and Wei Yan answered in unison, cupping their fists.
After Huang Zhong 'demonstrated' his riding skills and challenged him in front of the pass, he cursed by name: "Xia Houyuan, come and die, Nanyang Huang Zhong has prepared a sharp knife to decapitate you."
"Old guy, you can't even ride a horse firmly. You are looking for death." Xia Houyuan's eyes widened with anger and he was ready to move.
Huang Zhong replied contemptuously: "Don't talk nonsense, come and die, your general who conquers the west belongs to me."
Xia Houyuan gritted his teeth and said, "This old man is just insulting me, but he dares to speak so brazenly that he will tell the King of Wei that I will go down and kill him."
Zhang He hurriedly advised: "General Xiahou, be careful of fraud. The old guy almost missed the mark just now. Now he is obviously trying to make you angry. The general has a heavy responsibility and cannot personally take risks. Why don't I go to fight for you?"
"That's fine." Xia Houyuan nodded calmly.
Just as Zhang He was about to turn around, Xia Houyuan's personal entourage came to report, "Inform the general, the young general has taken away his weapons and went downstairs to fight Huang Zhong."
"It's too reckless to claim your child."
Xia Houyuan frowned, but didn't take Huang Zhong seriously.
"General Xiahou, then I..." Zhang He hesitated before speaking.
"Stay on the tower and watch the battle. I think Mr. Huang Zhong has only a few days left to live. It is his good fortune to die in the hands of Cheng'er." Xia Houyuan was very contemptuous.
The battle outside Yangping Pass was Xia Houyuan's bad luck. Although Zhang He had fought against Wei Yan before, he didn't recognize it at first. In the end, it was too late and he didn't dare to say anything. Huang Zhong, who was fighting now, had fought against Xu Huang. Unfortunately, Xu Huang Akira was lying in the room drunk at this time.
The balance of fate once again tilted towards Liu Bei, and Xia Houyuan was about to face the same fate as Xu Huang.
