While Fazheng and Huang Zhong were advancing towards Dingjun Mountain, Liu Bei ordered Zhao Yun to go to Yangping Pass to fight every day, and then sent Wei Yan to lead troops across Zomaling and massive reinforcements to Mamingge Road.
Zhang He, who was stationed at Guangshi Pass, discovered the military situation and immediately sent his own soldiers to Yangping Pass to ask for help from Xiahou Yuan.
After the death of his son Xia Houchen, Xia Houyuan had been in a depressed state. He turned a deaf ear to Zhao Yun's challenge in the city, and only ordered Xu Huang and Guo Huai to hold on. He wanted to use Wei's powerful national power to consume Liu Bei.
Liu Bei suddenly made a move in Maming Pavilion, posing a huge threat to the right wing guarded by Zhang He. Xu Huang heard that the leader of his reinforcements was Wei Yan, and he hurriedly broke into Xia Houyuan's main tent to ask for a fight.
"General, Liu Bei has sent more troops to Ma Ming Pavilion. General Jun Yi has sent people to ask for help. The last general will ask for a battle to repel Wei Yan." Xu Huang cupped his fists and asked for a tassel.
His pain of losing his son had improved, especially when he saw Xia Houyuan's dead son, half of the sadness in his heart was instantly taken away.
Guo Huai, Sima Guo Huai of General Zhengxi, saw Xu Huang's expression of urgency and was worried that he would make a mistake in his anger, so he asked tentatively: "Wei Yan appeared in Maming Pavilion Road. Gong Ming, don't rush to seek revenge. You should stay here to help the general." To guard Yangping Pass, why don't I lead the troops to support General Jun Yi?"
"Bo Ji can't trust me? I, Xu Huang, have been greatly favored by the King of Wei, and I know how to treat both public and private matters." Seeing Guo Huai targeting him, Xu Huang immediately argued with each other and asked.
Seeing Xu Huang's anger, Xia Houyuan comforted him and said, "Why should Gongming be like this? Bo Ji also has good intentions. As the saying goes, those who are good at fighting do not get angry. My own son died in the battle with no bones left. He still has the patience to confront Liu Bei. You should put away your grief and anger for the time being. Just stay with me at Yangping Pass."
Xu Huang patted his chest and replied: "General, I really don't want to avenge my son. In fact, Liu Bei saw that he could not attack Yangping Pass, so he had to focus on the Maming Pavilion Road on the right. If he succeeded, we would be attacked on both sides. If General If you can't trust Xu Huang, I would like to issue a military order."
Xia Houyuan frowned after hearing this. He also had a general idea of Xu Huang's character. Among the generals with foreign surnames, he was not as popular as Zhang Liao, not as annoying as Yu Jin, and not as sophisticated and smooth as Zhang He. He was one of the few generals in Wei who was upright and upright. generation.
Thinking of Xu Huang's character, Xia Houyuan nodded lightly: "Forget the military order, you must be careful when you go Gongming. Although Wei Yan is an unknown person, his courage is shown by the fact that he will fight in front of Yangping Pass. He only needs to hold the Maming Pavilion Road and consume Liu Bei." ."
"The last general takes orders." Xu Huang's words were sonorous.
"General Miaocai..."
Guo Huai wanted to dissuade him but was stopped by Xia Houyuan. It was impossible not to send Xu Huang to fight just because his adopted son died. This was unreasonable both publicly and privately.
Liu Bei's attitude was not to give up until he achieved his goal. Cao Cao was worried that Xia Houyuan was not Liu Bei's opponent. When he received the battle report from Xia Houyuan and Cao Hong, he was ready to rush to Hanzhong to fight against the wine cooks of the year. Unfortunately, the Wuhuan tribe in Daijun, Shanggu and other places behind him To rebel, he could only prepare money, food, troops and horses for Cao Zhang to put down the rebellion.
As soon as Cao Cao settled everything in the country, he rushed to Chang'an to take charge. Cao Hong, Cao Xiu, and Cao Zhen were still stationed in Wudu at this time. The progress of the war between Hanzhong and Wudu.
At this time, Cao Cao sat in Chang'an and held his troops stationary. This not only saved the consumption of food and fodder during the march, but also selectively supported Wudu or Hanzhong. If Zhang Fei reappeared in Wudu, Cao Cao would go west to Dashanguan to help Cao Hong. If Xiahou Yuan could not support him, Against Liu Bei's pressure, Cao Cao sent troops to Baoxe Road to rescue Hanzhong.
Xu Huang led his troops to Mamingge Road. After the fight, he found that Wei Yan and Chen Shi's troops were showing off, and he felt contempt for Zhang He again. Although Liu Bei had a large number of people attacking the flanks, this kind of combat power was not a threat at all. .
To put it mildly, Zhang He was too cautious; to put it worse, he was timid and cherished his life.
After Xu Huang tested Wei Yan's strength, he was very worried that Maming Pavilion was Liu Bei's plan, so he ignored Guangshi Zhang He's advice and personally led his troops to attack Liu Bei's army on the road.
Liu Bei's army was only feigning an attack in Maming Pavilion. The soldiers were physically and mentally exhausted after several months of performance. They could not bear Xu Huang's fierce offensive. Wei Yan was very surprised to see Cao Jun acting so desperately, and felt that the purpose of delaying time had been achieved, so he ordered the troops to move slowly. Evacuate to the south of Zoumaling.
Chen Shi's troops, who were in charge of breaking up the rear, could not resist Xu Huang. The soldiers caused a blockage on the plank road during their rapid retreat. Many people lost their footing and fell off the cliff in panic. Xu Huang drove away the soldiers who had been entrenched here for months in less than ten days. Liu Beijun.
After the victory, Zhang He personally came to compliment him: "I am not as brave as Gong Ming in terms of bravery and skill in fighting. This great victory has repelled the attack on the flanks. General Xiahou will definitely ask the King of Wei and you for credit. It is really gratifying and congratulatory."
Xu Huang forgot about Zhang He who looked down upon him, but frowned and said, "Didn't General Zhang find something wrong? Liu Bei spent so much energy attacking the right wing of our army, but the combat effectiveness of this unit is so unbearable, could it be Pang Tong and Fa Zheng’s trick?”
After hearing this, Zhang He quickly argued: "Gongming will win this time, but you must not belittle the other party and elevate yourself. Previously, Liu Bei's second-rate generals were extremely ferocious. If I hadn't been unable to withstand them, how could I have sent troops to ask for help from General Xiahou?"
"Then why are the soldiers inconsistent?" Xu Huangxu asked with eyes.
Zhang He sneered: "Liu Bei's soldiers are also human beings. As long as they are human beings, they will get tired. Without the soldiers to hold on here, I believe General Gongming will not be so successful..."
"I remember Wei Yan came last. Why did he not perform satisfactorily?" Xu Huang still couldn't understand.
Zhang He snorted and replied: "That's unknown. Maybe Wei Yan is afraid of General Xu's power. He has just become famous and is a little bit hesitant about his life..."
Xu Huang shook his head and said to himself: "I don't think Wei Yan is so superficial. Liu Bei's behavior in Maming Pavilion is really weird. I must return to Yangping Pass immediately to remind the general."
"General, please come back."
Zhang He nodded expressionlessly. He looked down upon Xu Huang's inability to calm down and ask for credit. Wasn't it just that he defeated the little-known Chen Shi, and he rushed back to Qinggong in such a hurry?
Xu Huang and Wei Yan retreated almost at the same time. During this period, Fazheng and Huang Zhong had secretly walked out of Dingjun Mountain. After meeting with Deng Ai's people, they led their troops to Dingjun Mountain to choose a location to camp. They also sent troops to guard the dangerous points on the mountain. at.
When Xu Huang returned to Yangping Pass to ask for credit, he reminded Xia Houyuan to be on guard against Liu Bei's tricks. Since he could cross Zouma Ridge to attack the Wei army's right wing, why couldn't he cross Micang Mountain and outflank the left wing?
The dangers of Micang Mountain are praised by the world, and the valley on the south bank of Mianshui River is also very steep. Therefore, Jinniu Road also avoids these dangers and chooses the north bank of Mianshui River, which has a slightly gentler terrain.
Xia Houyuan didn't take Xu Huang's reminder seriously. He just often sent people to Liu Bei's camp on the north bank of Mianshui River to inquire. At this time, Liu Bei neither retreated to Chengdu nor continued to send people to attack Yangping Pass.
