Xiahou Yuan took the lead and rushed to the front.

Strictly speaking, Xiahou Yuan is not a good general, because in many cases he is too easy to get up and likes to rush ahead. When facing weaker opponents, he is often very sharp, but once he faces the same or stronger opponents, his tactic will suffer a lot.

Such tactics are actually not much different from Liu, Guan and Zhang, and other generals from the North. In other words, as long as they have been in the military forum in later generations, they may be able to beat most of the current generals of the Three Kingdoms in tactical changes. Of course, this refers to theoretically...

It is easier to talk about war on paper after all.

Xiahou Yuan's tactics have many flaws, but they also have many advantages, especially when his opponent is a group of weaker guys. For example, when he faces Li Er's team of powerful people, the combat power he exerts is quite terrible.

Xiahou Yuan's guards were equipped with excellent armor, and the weapons in their hands were also exquisite and sharp. As a general who could show off in the Xiahou family, the weapons and equipment were of course the best.

Xiahou Yuan himself was wearing two layers of armor, one layer of iron armor and the other layer of leather armor, and he also wore a cap that could be worn with masks like many cavalry soldiers. In terms of weapons, in addition to spears and swords, there was also a heavy iron whip, which was specially used to deal with heavy armor units. As Xiahou Yuan's war horse, it was naturally the best, tall, strong limbs, fat and strong. In addition, Xiahou Yuan sat up all over his body, like an iron tower, which made people feel chilled.

Xiahou Yuan was captured back then, although many people don’t mention this matter now, in Xiahou Yuan’s heart, it still looks like a huge, incurable scar. It will crack from time to time, bleed and suffer. So Xiahou Yuan complained angrily, and gritted his teeth and wanted to shake out his twelve points of majesty, intending to lead his soldiers and horses to level the Zangguan Pass with his own abilities!

I can't say I have to go straight to Hedong County!

Xiahou Yuan’s so-called “ambush” did not choose to hide on both sides of the mountain road on the ridges or shrubs to wait for the rabbits, but instead rushed towards Li Er and others!

Fighting with speed and slowness is the only way that Xiahou Yuan has pursued since he led the army.

Xiahou Yuan did not carefully hide his whereabouts because that was not what he was good at. What he was best at was that when the opponent found him, he followed the opponent's scouts all the way. When the opponent received the news, his spear also stabbed under the other's nose!

Another reason is that Xiahou Yuan and most of his soldiers were not familiar with Hedong.

Ambushing must be familiar with the terrain before you can get an extra bonus. Otherwise, after searching for a long time, I still have to fight directly?

The sky was dark. Although it was daytime, the clouds in the sky were very thick and there was not much sunlight scattering, making the surrounding mountains deeper and the green indulgences were close to ink.

In front of Xiahou Yuan, Li Er and his group finally appeared scouts!

The scouts forward were a standard five-man team, led by the sergeant. He had just climbed up a small mound and met Xiahou Yuan and others who were marching fiercely in the mountains.

When the sergeant discovered Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan also saw them.

Without saying a word, Xiahou Yuan stretched out his hand and rushed forward with a move!

Xiahou Yuan's guards may have been used to Xiahou Yuan's tactics. When they saw Xiahou Yuan moving forward, they shouted in unison, pulled out their weapons and followed Xiahou Yuan tightly and rushed forward together!

The scout commander was startled and hurriedly retreated with his men. While retreating, he took out a copper whistle and blew the alarm hard.

『Beep——』

The harsh copper whistle echoed between the valleys.

The scout's reaction was very fast, but Xiahou Yuan rushed forward faster than they expected!

Just when the scout team got off the mound and turned over the horse, turned around and wanted to return, Xiahou Yuan had already rushed forward!

"Go away! I'll break the back!"

The scout general shouted, then shot directly at Xiahou Yuan, trying to slow down Xiahou Yuan's speed.

Xiahou Yuan grabbed the shield on the side of the horse in front of him with his backhand.

The long arrow roared, and a deep sound was pierced on the shield. The arrow shaft shook unwillingly, and finally sighed helplessly, and collapsed in dejectedly.

When the sergeant wanted to shoot the second arrow, it was too late.

Xiahou Yuan's spear turned over like a python, and with a puff, he stabbed the sergeant in front of his chest and penetrated his back.

When the spear was stabbed, Xiahou Yuan let out a long breath, revealing some bloodthirsty smile...

In history, Xiahou Yuan's rise came after Longyou, Guanzhong.

Dun, Yuan, Ren, Hong, among the four great kings of the first generation of Cao Wei, Xiahou Yuan rose to the latest. His combat style was like a fish in water when he reached Longyou, Guanzhong. In the 17th year of Jian'an, Xiahou Yuan was in charge of Guanzhong, and was the only one who fought for thousands of miles. He first attacked Liang Xing, defeated Ma Chao and Han Sui, and then pacified Qiang and Di to slaughter each other, attacked and destroyed Qiangs, and conquered the Qiangs in Hexi. Although he was determined to take advantage of Zhang He, Xu Huang and Zhu Ling, Xiahou Yuan did a very good job in this period in history, and deserved the four words "Tiger Steps and Guan You".

But similarly, in the subsequent battle of Hanzhong, Xiahou Yuan encountered the biggest "Waterloo" in his life. He was killed by veteran Huang Zhong and then changed from "Tiger Step Right" to "General Baidi".

At present, Xiahou Yuan's title of "General Baidi" is obviously earlier than in history, but like in history, this title was given by Cao Cao. In fact, it is like parents calling their children a dog and couple calling their mouths a fool. On the surface, it seems to be a belittlement, but in fact it is a secret maintenance.

But no matter what, even if you understand it, Xiahou Yuan was a little unhappy when he was "maintained" in person. So he wanted to restore his name and become his master...

Xiahou Yuan can pretend to care nothing, but can he really not care in his heart?

Now that a spear pierced the opponent, and the familiar smell of blood filled the tip of the nose, Xiahou Yuan truly released the ferocious beast hidden in his heart!

"kill!"

Xiahou Yuan shouted loudly, and his subordinates responded loudly.

It is as powerful as a rainbow.

The Cao army's cavalry had been holding it in for a long time, and almost burst out at this moment.

Facing Xiahou Yuan and his soldiers who were like a mad tiger, Li Er could not resist at all.

Most of Li Er's subordinates are just some private soldiers, and their training level is like Hu cavalry. If you talk about personal martial arts and riding skills, it is not too bad, but if you want to gather and cooperate and have a tacit understanding on the front line, it is almost the same as zero.

Li Er shouted loudly and asked his men to form a battle formation to face the enemy, but it was obvious that the soldiers who had been specially trained were different from those who had never been trained at all.

The cavalry soldiers under Li Er quickly listed a neat array, while the other large private soldiers were in chaos. Until they started fighting with Cao's army, there was still no decent formation...

How can I fight this?

Almost instinctively, Cao's army discovered the problems exposed by these large private soldiers, so naturally rushed forward with a roar!

The scene collapsed at once!

Xiahou Yuan and his men were just a charge, and Li Er's front was completely collapsed, and there was no more delay.

These private soldiers and servants who were temporarily collected were like flocks of frightened sheep. Although they had two hard horns, they only dared to try hard against their fellow men. When facing other opponents with some minions, whether they were foxes, embarrassing, or tigers and leopards, they did not dare to resist at all.

Li Er originally wanted to lead people to supervise the battle behind, but when he saw that the battle formation collapsed beyond his expectations, he did not hesitate at all. He immediately ordered to turn around and flee. Relying on his familiarity with the terrain, he fled back to the jail gate first, and then found that Sima Yi was also in the jail gate...

The private soldiers and servants who fled all over the world successfully distracted Cao's army and lagged behind Cao's army's speed. From this perspective, it cannot be said to be completely useless, just as the broken tail of the gecko can always attract the attention of the predator.

During the custody, Li Er fell to the ground and apologized for guilt.

Sima Yi did not immediately say that Li Er was guilty or not guilty, but asked: "How many troops do Cao's army have?"

Li Er lowered his head and reported, "There are about a thousand cavalry. The thief is fast, and the scouts and detectives cannot be detailed, so he does not know if there is a brigade following him..."

Sima Yi frowned slightly.

Sima Yi asked again how many troops led by Li Er had returned.

Li Er said that he only brought back the elite soldiers, and most of the large private soldiers and servants recruited in Hedong were not brought back...

When Sima Yi heard this, he said oh, his tone was steady, neither sad nor happy.

Li Er sneaked into Sima Yi's expression, and saw that there was not much anger on his face, he felt a little determined in his heart. He had originally guessed Sima Yi's intention, but now at least one thing is certain, that is, Sima Yi definitely did not want him to die and fight with Cao's army to the death. His defeat should be Sima Yi's expectations.

Sima Yi was silent for a moment, and then asked Li Er to stand up, "The recruitment of local brave men is not a regular soldier, so why are you guilty of losing the army... and wait for subsequent discussion... Get up first..."

This reason is very correct.

Those private soldiers of the wealthy family are not registered soldiers at all. Since they are not even considered soldiers, the crime of "losing the army" does not exist. They just cannot be so blatant that they want to cheat the wealthy family, so they said something to be discussed later, but in fact, the matter ends here.

Li Er secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thanked him and stood aside.

Although the initial goal has indeed been achieved, Sima Yi still needs to continue thinking and calculating.

There is no doubt that Cao's army will come to fight the barriers, and the later it comes, the more problematic it is.

Because the point of closure itself is a long-standing "flaw".

Under the political corruption in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the pass was a state of no control over the two sides for a long time. Hedong County felt that Hanoi County should pay the money, and Hanoi County thought that this was the matter of Hedong County. Then, whether it was Hedong County or Hanoi County, they wanted the court or Henan Yin to bear the annual repair costs. Henan Yin even dragged his own water conservancy facilities, so how could he use the money to repair a remote pass?

Under such circumstances, it would be natural to abandon the pass. If it weren’t for the rise of Feijian River, and then a large number of smuggling groups, caravan vendors began to walk the pass again in such a pass. It would be said that the pass would still be ruined and deserted.

Even if there are caravans walking, the smuggling groups are regional. The smuggling groups in one region will not allow people from other regions to easily set foot in the region. This custom is still very typical even in later generations. Therefore, just like in the area near Jizhou in Wukou Xing, the smuggling groups are people near Zhongmu, and the smuggling groups in Zhuguan Xing are naturally some people in Hedong County...

For smuggling activities, is it hoped that the more regular the levels and the more difficult the passes, the better, or is it the opposite?

For a long time in the Hedong County, there was no decent one. The large-scale renovation and regularity of the Zhouguanxing was of course remarkable. It would definitely not be as reported in Hedong County as it was daily, or civil affairs difficulties, or financial inadequate, etc. Even if Fei Qian had allocated funds specifically, it might be "normal" for ten or eight years...

Therefore, Zhuguanxing has always been a hidden danger and a hidden danger that is intentionally retained.

It's like going to the next condom when hunting. Is it that I hope to alarm the prey and let the prey find another way, or to keep it as it should as much as possible so that the prey thinks the original passage is safe?

However, only people within the smuggling group in Hedong County will be very familiar with this channel, while Cao Jun may not be.

In order to make the prey more convenient to transfer into this condom, Sima Yi specially ordered the recruitment of private soldiers and servants from these wealthy families in Hedong...

Sima Yi was holding up all the water, just to let Cao's army plunge into the condom, but when he saw that Cao's army was indeed ignoring himself, he didn't know how many people came to Cao's army. This still made Sima Yi feel that it was not too safe.

The plan Sima Yi originally discussed with Xun Chen was to win three goals at one time, or even win multiple goals at one time. However, if the trap is too small and the prey is too big, it is like making a trap net bag. If you don’t know how heavy the prey is, then you can’t say that the net you worked so hard to make is broken away, and it may also hurt the hunter’s life.

There are many mountain roads in the Zhuguan Mountains. Even if you stick to Zhuguan, you will sooner or later be able to find a way to go by the Cao army. Instead of consuming it with Cao's army at Zhuguan, it is better to put Cao's army in and solve the problem in Zhuguan Pass...

但是这首要的前提,就是要让曹军敢进来.

"Who is the general in charge of the army?" Sima Yi asked again.

Li Er replied: "See there is the word Xiahou."

"Xiahou?" Sima Yi was a little surprised.

Because Sima Yi thought Xiahou Yuan should be in Youbei or Jizhou, and this battle should be Cao Hong or Cao Xiu.

But when things come to this point, we can't go to Cao Cao to say that the actor you came up with is wrong, let's start over...

According to the original plan, Sima Yi would continue to show weakness, not fight with the field, but only guard the gate, and it would be best to make the illusion that he would be almost blocked in the gate, so that Cao's army would rush into the gate without hesitation. At that time, Sima Yi would be like a ticket seller on a bus, shouting loudly, come in a little more, come in a little more, squeeze in, squeeze in, and it was still very empty, and it was still empty...

But unexpectedly, Xiahou came.

Xiahou Dun is in Fukou Xing, so naturally the only one here is Xiahou Yuan. Sima Yi has heard of the other Xiahous.

It was not surprising that Cao's army came. What was unexpected was Xiahou Yuan, and it is difficult to judge now. It was just Xiahou Yuan's unit, or how many soldiers and horses were there behind it.

Sima Yi did not have a God's perspective, so it was naturally impossible to know whether there were any hidden troops from Cao's army in Hanoi. Moreover, for Sima Yi, of course, he hoped that the prey should be as large as possible to satisfy his food.

How should we deal with it?

Should we go out of the city to fight, or continue to show weakness and defend ourselves by being firm?

Guo Xiang stood aside and saw Sima Yi pondering but not speaking, volunteered to stand up, expressing his willingness to lead the army to fight with Cao's army again to explore the reality of Cao's army.

Guo Xiang is from the Guo family in Taiyuan.

The Guo family in Taiyuan was not famous in the early Han Dynasty. It was once glorious for a while during the Western Han Dynasty, but soon became powerless. By the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was just that the family had just started climbing the stairs of two thousand stones again.

It was not until Guo Zun rose that the Guo family in Taiyuan had a new reputation. Guo Zun himself was very strong, but his descendants were not very good.

Guo Quan, the father of Guo Feng, did not belong to Guo Zun's direct family. When Guo Quan wanted to replace Guo Zun's branch and become the commander of the Guo family in Taiyuan, some lively scenes that were popular in the Guo family in Taiyuan were inevitably...

It’s just that the misfortune of the loss of the horse. It is precisely because there are constant internal disputes between the Guo family in Taiyuan that the Guo family has no intention of smuggling externally. After all, there is no internal unity and no major event. If the opponent seizes the opportunity to do something, wouldn’t it be that it’s digging a hole and burying itself?

So after Fei Qian's rise, the Guo family became a "rules-abiding" group, especially when Fei Qian's early regime was not too stable, and he did not participate in any incidents. This made the Guo family have the advantage of "cleanness" than other families. This time, he was introduced to Sima Yi by Xun Chen to show Xun Chen's support for Sima Yi...

Since he had come out and paid a visit to the dock, of course he could not show any distraction. This was a taboo. Therefore, when Guo Xiang saw that Sima Yi was a little disappointed with the news brought back by Li Er, he immediately stood up and expressed his willingness to share Sima Yi's worries.
