Du Xi suggested sending troops to rescue Zhang He. After thinking for a while, Xia Houyuan thought it was reasonable. He believed that he was not inferior to Liu Bei in using troops. He frowned and said: "What Zixu (Du Xi) said is true, but Xu Gongming (
Xu Huang) has now gone to Nanzheng, Guo Boji (Guo Huai) is still guarding Yangping Pass, and I have to go to Nanwei to put out fires and mend deer antlers. There seems to be no suitable person in the tent to rescue Zhang He."
"If there are really no generals to send, I am willing to personally lead the troops to rescue him." Du Xi said with cupped fists.
"Zixu is responsible for the important task of being cautious. I will assign half of your troops to rescue Dongwei. Remember that Zhao Yun is brave and cannot fight. If the opponent suddenly retreats, do not pursue him. Be careful not to fall into Pang Tong and Fazheng's plan." Xia Houyuan warned.
Du Xi nodded, "What I spared, the general will cherish."
Xia Houyuan snorted coldly: "Zhao Yun is the only one in Liu Bei's camp who can stand up to a fight. If Huang Zhong and Wei Yan dare to come looking for death, I will make sure they never return."
"Woolen cloth…"
Seeing that Xia Houyuan was so arrogant, Du Xi tried to persuade him but was afraid of dampening Xia Houyuan's enthusiasm, so he didn't speak for a long time after standing up.
Seeing this, Zhao Ke comforted him and said, "Zixu, please go quickly. General Xiahou and I are also going to Nanwei to put out the fire."
"That's good, please take it seriously." Du Xiang walked out of the camp without looking back.
After Du Xi took away half of his troops, Xia Houyuan and Zhao Ke also led their troops to the south to put out the fire. Faced with Liu Bei's opponent, he seemed calm on the surface, but in fact he didn't have much confidence in his heart. He brought out all the remaining 10,000 soldiers.
"Lord, look, Xia Houyuan is here after all."
Seeing the handsome flag fluttering in the wind at the foot of the mountain, Fazheng smiled happily.
Liu Bei stood on the edge of the mountain behind the grass and leaned over to watch. He saw that Xiahou Yuan had brought out many soldiers and horses, so he frowned and said, "The military advisor said that he could kill the enemy chieftain, but with so many soldiers and horses guarding him, it is impossible for Xiahou Yuan to defeat him." Are you alone?"
Fazheng pointed to the south direction and said: "I have asked Old General Huang to ambush at the foot of the mountain. I will send people to lure Xiahou Yuan over later. The old general's arrow skills are unparalleled and he will be able to kill him easily. It is considered that Xiahou and his son also died under the arrow." It is fate that as soon as Xiahou Yuan dies, Cao's army will be in chaos. These Cao soldiers will become lambs to be slaughtered in front of my lord, and he will eventually lead his troops eastward to besiege Zhang He."
"Xia Houyuan couldn't hide at Yangping Pass. Now that the two armies are facing each other, he must know that there is an ambush. What strategies does the military counselor have to lure him out?" Liu Bei asked curiously.
"My lord, watch patiently and the answer will be revealed soon."
Fazheng smiled and shook his head, and then ordered the sergeant to wave the red flag. Immediately afterwards, drums thundered under the mountain, and a group of people and horses in the forest went straight to Xia Houyuan.
Liu Bei saw that the flag had the character Liu on it. There were very few generals with the surname Liu in his tent, so he frowned and asked curiously, "Who is this? Could it be Feng'er?"
"My lord, your guess is correct, it is Mr. Feng." Fazheng replied calmly.
"Although Feng'er is somewhat brave, how can he defeat Xia Houyuan? If he is unprepared, he will not feel at ease."
After Liu Bei finished speaking, he frowned and thought to himself, Xu Huang and Xia Houyuan both had dead sons, how could they throw away my adopted son to attract him? If you miss and get caught, you will be too passive.
Fa Zheng saw Liu Bei's worries and explained: "Lord, please relax. Master Feng's war horses and armors are very sophisticated. All we need to do is introduce Xia Houyuan into the ambush circle."
"Can't we use another general to lead him?" Liu Bei asked speechlessly.
"My lord, without his status as a prince, it is impossible for Xiahou Yuan to fall into the trap. He is the deadly bait. To ensure that Xiahou is killed here, this is the safest way. Only by giving up can you gain." Fa Zheng sigh.
Liu Bei understood Fazheng's strategy. Liu Feng had now led the horse out. He couldn't stop it even if he wanted to, so he could only focus on Liu Feng's position.
Fazheng was waving the red flag on the mountain when he was discovered by Xia Houyuan's sentry. The troops mending antlers were immediately waiting for him. After a while, they found a young general riding his horse and shooting him.
Xia Houyuan's eyes showed a fierce look before he even asked his name, because Liu Feng was wearing the Mingguang Armor that his son Xia Hou called him.
When Zhao Ke saw Xia Houyuan's excitement, he quickly admonished him: "This person is wearing the Major General's armor. He must have some agenda. General, be careful not to fall into the trap."
"I know." Xia Houyuan glared at Zhao Yong.
Liu Feng reined in his horse a few feet away from the antlers. He pointed a gun at Xiahou Yuan and cursed: "Xiahou Yuan, do you dare to go out to the camp and fight?"
"Little thief, do you dare to wear my son's armor? This Mingguang Armor was given by King Wei. How can an ordinary person withstand it? You don't even know whether to live or die and invite a fight in front of me," Xia Houyuan's tone was cold, as if he was talking to A dead man speaks.
Liu Feng raised his head and laughed: "Thieves like Cao are just treacherous and treacherous. Why can't you say that you can't bear it? My father is a member of the Han Dynasty. Do you think you are overestimating your capabilities by comparing me with your short-lived son?" ?”
My father is from the Han clan? Xia Houyuan suddenly looked hard and asked: "Who are you? Who is your father?"
"It's easy to say, my name is Liu Feng, and my father is General Liu Xuande of the Left." Liu Feng smiled lightly.
Xia Houyuan's eyes suddenly widened, and Zhao Ge beside him quickly reminded: "This person seems to be Liu Bei's adopted son..."
"You are very good. You actually have the courage to challenge me. Then I will help you."
Xia Houyuan picked up the sword and slapped the horse's butt hard, and then rushed out like an arrow from the string.
Liu Feng concentrated on fighting with his spear. As soon as he parried, he knew that Xia Houyuan was good at martial arts and was indeed not someone of his level who could withstand him.
Qiang Qiang blocked Xia Houyuan's two swords. Liu Feng turned around, patted his horse and left, muttering to himself: "Xia Houyuan is indeed worthy of his reputation. I will go back and replace you with someone else to fight you."
"Liu Feng, the rat, if you mess with me, you have to stay." Xia Houyuan's heart ignited with enthusiasm. He clamped the horse's belly with his legs and pushed forward, trying to kill Liu Feng at the foot of Dingjun Mountain.
"General, be careful of fraud." Zhao Yong reminded hurriedly.
Xia Houyuan was already on his way, and Liu Feng's escape route had ups and downs. Xia Houyuan was sure that his horse was better than his opponent's, so he ignored Zhao Yong's kind reminder.
Zhao Ke saw that Xia Houyuan did not listen to the advice, but he was worried and led his army to catch up and respond.
"Accept your fate, Liu Feng. My son was buried in Yangping Pass. Now it's your turn. It's because you are Liu Bei's adopted son." Xia Houyuan shouted while chasing him.
"General Miaocai, why not shoot him."
Xia Houyuan always kept a certain distance from Liu Feng, which meant that the other party's horses must not be worse than his own. Then he thought about it, he was Liu Bei's adopted son, how could he ride an ordinary war horse?
Zhao Ke was worried about an ambush in the dense forest ahead, so he raised his voice to remind Xia Houyuan in front.
When Xia Houyuan heard Zhao Ke's reminder, he took out the carved bow from his waist. He first aimed at Liu Feng's vest, and then suddenly remembered that the Mingguang Armor had strong defense. In order not to let go of the prey in front of him, he aimed the arrow at Liu Feng's body. white horse.
"Xiahou's son shall die."
Just when Xia Houyuan's arrow was about to be released, there was a loud shout from the dense forest diagonally ahead, and then a very fast cold arrow flew out.
The moment Xia Houyuan turned around, the arrow had already reached his face and pierced his left eye. Liu Feng's white horse not far away was frightened by the arrow.
"General." Zhao Ke exclaimed.
"Aye." Xiahou Yuan was so painful that he almost fell off his horse. He could finally understand Xiahou Dun's mood back then.
At this moment, Huang Zhong, who had a silver hair on his head, stood up with his sword. He looked at Xia Houyuan and said coldly: "You dare to show your ugliness with a small trick? The military advisor asked me to kill you with one arrow, but I only shot you once, so I still use it to kill you." The sword is sharp." When Huang Zhong spoke, the cold light on the blade of the big sword stirred up, and the cavalry around Xia Houyuan were all frightened.
