Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 489

Xiahou said that he ranked third among Xiahouyuan's eight sons. He was the most brave in personal martial arts, marching and fighting, and was often brought by Xiahouyuan to practice and teach his skills.

Xia Hou said that seeing his father being insulted by Huang Zhong, he raised a knife and galloped out of Yangping Pass without permission.

Huang Zhong saw that this man had a golden helmet and armor, and the horse he was riding was also a good horse from Dawan. He thought that he did not wait for the right lord Xia Houyuan, but a rich man came out instead.

Xia Hou said that there was a fire hidden in his chest, but when he saw Huang Zhong's disdainful expression, the flame burned even more vigorously.

"Old man, you should wait at home to die at this age, but you still uttered wild words, I will let you die without a whole body." Xiahou said his expression was sinister.

Huang Zhong was open-minded with a sneer on his face: "Boy, you are so angry. Is Xia Houpifu your father or your uncle? The battlefield is a very dangerous place. I think you should go home and eat milk."

Xiahou was furious: "Shut up, old man, how dare you insult my father. Today I will capture you, an old thief alive, and then put you in front of my father and cut him to pieces."

Huang Zhong's heart was agitated when he heard this, although the old one was not brought out, but a young one came by accident, wouldn't it be a great achievement if he could be captured alive?
Xia Hou said that he rode his horse galloping and arrived in a blink of an eye, Huang Zhong calmly patted his horse to meet him, Xia Hou said he raised his knife and swung it diagonally from above.

Huang Zhong was proficient in bows and arrows, and his eyesight was as bright as a torch. From the strength and speed of the opponent's slash, he quickly judged the level of Xia Houcheng's force. Although it was somewhat stronger than Xu Wei yesterday, it was only a second-rate level after all.

Huang Zhong used the back of his saber to face the direction where the blade landed and easily picked it up. Although the strength of the blade was not strong, the angle was amazing, and it happened to relieve most of Xia Houcheng's strength.

Xia Hou said that his head was sweating from shock, he thought that this old guy is really not simple, he had to pay attention to the enemy in front of him.

Xia Houyuan's eyes also widened on the city wall. Huang Zhong's understatement of the sword just now must be used by someone with superb sword skills. He couldn't help but began to worry about his son.

Zhang Yun, who was watching the battle, also realized that something was wrong. Huang Zhong's strength was stronger than that of Wei Yan yesterday. It was hard for him to believe that Liu Bei's army was full of such fierce people.

"Then Huang Zhong seems to be difficult to deal with. The general's arrow skills are exquisite, why not help the young general secretly?" Zhang Yun suggested.

Xia Houyuan shook his head and replied, "I am the general of the three armies. If I shoot that old man with a dark arrow, what will the generals think of me?"

"The general is just a father at this time, and the soldiers will understand your difficulties." Zhang Yun comforted.

After a brief hesitation, Xia Houyuan finally made up his mind.

"Bring me a bow and arrow."

Under the city, Huang Zhong and Xia Houcheng had already fought five rounds. If he had killed the enemy, Huang Zhong would have been able to withdraw his sword, but it would take a little effort to capture the opponent alive. After several rounds of observation, he saw Xia Houcheng's flaws.

Xiahou said that Huang Zhong parried all the slashing and slashing in succession. He raised his sword impetuously and rushed over again. Huang Zhong who was coming towards him held the sword in a strange posture.

Xia Houcheng's broadsword slashed in the air, with the momentum like a huge wave hitting his face, Huang Zhong supported the horse's neck with one hand to dodge to the side, and took advantage of the situation to use the handle of the knife to push against the opponent's waist.

Although the Mingguang armor claimed by Xia Hou was strong, with the production technology and level at that time, only the chest and back area had a whole piece of iron plate to protect the vital points. The waist where Huang Zhong stabbed with the handle was relatively weak in defense. The power of the attack is so strong that Xia Hou said that his eyes turned white due to the pain of the stroke.

Xiahou said that due to the young waist and less fat, the internal organs' ability to resist blows is not as good as that of middle-aged generals.

When Xiahou said that his kidneys were impacted and his body unconsciously leaned forward, Huang Zhong was like a nimble urchin, he stretched out his ape arms to grab the opponent's back armor.

Xiahou said that he lost weight in fear and got off the horse, and Huang Zhong grabbed his back like a lamb and carried him away.

Just when Huang Zhong Chunfeng succeeded in capturing him alive, Xia Houyuan's cold arrow flew towards the moon like a meteor.

The reason why Xia Houyuan is so unscrupulous is that, in addition to his own arrow technique of piercing Yang with a hundred steps, he also relies on the bright light armor that Cao Cao rewarded Xia Houcheng.

Huang Zhong is also a good shooter with ape arms, and his sensitivity to bows and arrows is far better than ordinary people.

In the blink of an eye, Huang Zhong raised the weightless Xia Houcheng to block the arrow.

I don't know whether Xiahouyuan's arrow technique is really exquisite, or his son Xiahoucheng's luck is particularly unlucky, and the spiked arrow hits Xiahoucheng's throat impartially.

Xiahou said a mouthful of blood gushed out of his mouth like a nausea, Huang Zhong felt the tense body in his hand suddenly relax, Xiahou said that his father blocked his throat with an arrow.

"Weighing."

Xia Houyuan was so excited that he almost fell off the city wall, but Zhang Yun and a few of his followers tried their best to hold him back.

Huang Zhong threw Xiahoucheng's body on the horse, and then taunted Xiahouyuan: "General Xiahou's arrow skills are good, but it's shameless to shoot cold arrows regardless of face. Fortunately, your son blocked the arrow for me. Do you want this corpse? If not, I will throw it away." Went to the mountains to feed the beasts."

"Huang Zhongpifu, I swear to kill you."

The bereaved Xia Houyuan's eyes were bloodshot and his voice was hoarse. At this moment, he finally realized Xu Huang's mood yesterday. Facing Huang Zhong's ridicule, he was about to lose control like an angry bull.

"General, the overall situation in Hanzhong is the most important thing, don't be fooled by Huang Zhong." Zhang Yun pressed him down hard.

"Come down if you want revenge, the old man's sword hasn't drunk blood for a long time." Huang Zhong continued to provoke Xia Houyuan.

Zhang He poked his head out and shouted angrily, "Old man Huang Zhong, don't use aggressive tactics, attack the city if you have the ability, and don't use your tongue."

Seeing someone obstructing him, Huang Zhong spread out his hands and said, "Forget it if you don't dare to come and get it. I'll send you father and son to reunite sooner or later."

Seeing that Huang Zhongzhan returned to the camp victoriously, everyone congratulated him with their hands clasped, repeating praise words such as 'old and strong', 'not diminished in the past' and so on.

Huang Zhong threw Xia Houcheng's body in front of Liu Bei, and said with a little regret: "If Xia Houyuan hadn't "killed his relatives righteously", I would have captured his son alive to present to my lord, and now there is only one body left."

Liu Bei encouraged with a smile: "Just come back from victory, it doesn't matter if there are prisoners or not."

"My lord, if you threaten Xia Houyuan with his dead body, will Xia Houyuan exchange Yangping Pass?" Wei Yan asked curiously.

Before Liu Bei could answer, Pang Tong laughed, "Mr. Wen's thinking is too simple. Even if Xiahouyuan's biological father is alive, he may not exchange Yangpingguan, let alone a dead Xiahoucheng?"

"Then what should we do? Throw it in the mountains to feed the wolves?" Wei Yan asked tentatively.

Everyone looked at Liu Bei at this moment, and Liu Bei shook his head lightly and said, "I will fight the bandit Cao openly and squarely. Although I am hostile to Xia Houyuan now, there is no need to insult his son's body, so I will bury him at the foot of the mountain in the southwest of the camp. Surrounded by green mountains and often accompanied by birdsong, it is also a good burial place.”

"My lord is merciful." Everyone shouted in unison.

Xia Houyuan and Xu Huang suffered from the pain of bereavement one after another. No matter who Liu Bei sent to Yangping Pass to fight, it would be of no avail.

Liu Bei sent Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and other generals to storm Yangping Pass several times, but Yangping Pass was fortified and difficult to attack. According to Pang Tong and Fazheng's suggestion, Liu Bei sent scouts to survey the terrain nearby, hoping to find another route to bypass Yangping Pass.
