Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 668 Xiahou Yuan’s shock: Xu Rong also has heavy cavalry?

Du Xi and others on the side were shocked when they heard what Xiahou Yuan said.

Although Ma Chao did make them extremely angry, he actually rebelled at such a critical moment.

However, Ma Chao's father Ma Teng and others were extremely flattering to the Xu Du court.

Especially Ma Tie, the second son of Ma Teng, who was sworn brother to the eldest son Cao Ang.

Now, Xiahou Yuan actually wants to execute Ma Teng’s entire clan!

Du Xi's face also looked a little unhappy.

However, he did not try to persuade her.

He just thought that Xiahou Yuan was angry.

Although he believed that Xiahou Yuan's nephew Xiahou Shang brought it upon himself, he was still Xiahou Yuan's relative after all.

It's normal to be angry when a loved one is killed.

He believed that Sikong Cao Cao was far away in Xudu and would be rational.

Ma Teng did not make any mistakes.

To be precise, not only did he not make any mistakes, but he was absolutely trying to please the imperial court and Prime Minister Cao Cao.

If Ma Teng's three clans were executed, the harm to the Xudu court would be unimaginable.

Taking a deep breath and suppressing the anger he felt for Ma Teng's family, Du Xi said to Xiahou Yuan, "General Xiahou, now is not the time to be angry. It's about how we deal with the current situation."

"Sikong appointed General Xiahou as the commander of the front army, and Sikong gathered the last troops and three months of food in Xudu."

"Now that Ma Chao has led the Ma family army to rebel, this is a serious matter. We should come up with a response plan immediately."

"We must catch up with them immediately and find a way to save the Ma family army."

"It is better to fight the general immediately to confirm whether the general is really in Jiguan."

"Or maybe we can determine the true strength of Jiguan and decide whether to continue northward, or stop here and inform Sikong so that he can make a decision to prevent him from leading the army from Xudu and turning back halfway."

Xiahou Yuan suppressed his grief and withdrew his gaze from Xiahou Shang's head. He looked up at the direction of Jiguan on the other side and said in a hoarse voice, "Let the army get ready. I will meet with that guy immediately to see if he is here and what the strength of Jiguan is."

Du Xi then breathed a sigh of relief and called on everyone to take action immediately, leaving only a few people to deal with the remains of Xiahou Shang and others.

Afterwards, he sent an envoy across the river to the other side and made an appointment with Zhang Sui to meet at dusk.

The scouts at Jiguan had already discovered Xiahou Yuan's actions and reported them to Zhang Sui.

Hearing that tens of thousands of people had arrived on the other side, Zhang Sui guessed that Cao Cao's real vanguard had arrived.

It just so happens that before returning to Yecheng, they can give Cao Cao's army a shock.

Zhang Sui immediately called Gao Shun, Shen Rong and others over and asked them to reorganize the army.

He was preparing to challenge the army on the other side to a decisive battle in front of Jiguan tomorrow morning.

Of course, the decisive battle was fake. The real purpose was to let Cao Cao's army see Gao Shun's Chen-trapping camp at Jiguan and he himself was also there, so that Cao Cao's army would not dare to act rashly after suffering heavy losses in the Ma family army.

As soon as the order was given, Xiahou Yuan's envoy came and asked Zhang Sui to meet him at dusk.

Zhang Sui did not hesitate and ordered his army to head directly to the shore.

At dusk, Gao Shun took 700 elite infantrymen from Xianchen Camp and Jiguan and stationed them on the bank of the Yellow River with flags flying.

Xiahou Yuan, Du Xi, Le Jin and others looked at the scene on the other side of the river, all with extremely ugly expressions.

Gao Shun’s camp to trap Chen is also there!

Previously, Wen Chou was ambushed and lost three thousand elite soldiers. Now it seems that it did not have much impact on the other side!

As it was getting dark, Zhang Suicai slowly came over with a hundred personal soldiers.

When generals Xiahou Yuan, Le Jin and others saw Zhang Sui appear, their faces suddenly changed.

It’s true!

Du Xi, on the other hand, had his eyes slightly lit up and praised secretly.

He is worthy of being called a great general.

Young and energetic.

Perhaps because of his great military achievements, when he looked at Zhang Sui, he actually felt that the other party was somewhat better than the eldest son!
Zhang Sui rode to the front of the army, looked at Xiahou Yuan jokingly and said, "General Xiahou, you are Xian'er's uncle, so I will also respectfully call you uncle."

"Uncle Xiahou sent an envoy to meet me, and my nephew-in-law was obedient and immediately brought some soldiers to meet him. How is that?"

Xiahou Yuan looked at Zhang Sui's calm and composed appearance, and the corner of his mouth twitched. This kid, since he saw him at Hongnong Port to support the king, he has never been afraid.

I thought of Dian Wei and Cai Yang being chopped off.

He also thought of the scene near Bai Ma, where he was almost chased and hacked to death by him.

Xiahou Yuan forced a laugh and said to Zhang Sui, "The general is naturally wise and brave, and a good husband for my niece."

Looking at Gao Shun's Xianchen Camp, Xiahou Yuan asked again: "Why is Xianchen Camp in Jiguan? These are heavy cavalry. If they are stationed in Jiguan, isn't it a waste of talent? The consumption of food and grass for heavy cavalry is a huge expense."

Zhang Sui laughed and said, "Hebei is a vast land with abundant resources."

"Over the past year, they have worked hard to recuperate under my leadership."

"Uncle Xiahou, I am not bragging, but now it is easy for me to support a few heavy cavalry like this."

"Not only did we capture Chen's camp, but I also heard that my good father-in-law Cao Sikong was coming, so I was ready to transfer Xu Rong's Feixiong Army from Yecheng."

"Do you know the Flying Bear Army?"

Zhang Sui sighed and scratched his face, looking embarrassed, but finally made up his mind and said: "After all, you are my uncle. I have always been an honest person, so I will tell you something."

"The so-called Flying Bear Army is another 700-man heavy cavalry unit led by Xu Rong, based on the 1,000 cavalrymen from my headquarters and supplemented by the elite Bingzhou cavalrymen."

Xiahou Yuan's eyes narrowed.

The seven hundred heavy cavalry formed by Xu Rong?

He almost burst into a curse.

When Dong Zhuo was wreaking havoc on the world, he followed Cao Cao to fight against Dong Zhuo. At that time, he led an army of nearly 10,000 people, but was almost wiped out by Xu Rong's 3,000 light cavalry.

Unexpectedly, Xu Rong not only did not die, but became more and more proud under this kid's command.

Xu Rong can use the three thousand light cavalry to perfection.

This becomes 700 heavy cavalry——

Le Jin and others' faces also changed suddenly.

In previous intelligence, they also heard that Hebei seemed to have reorganized its army.

However, no specific information was obtained.

Now we know that Xu Rong has formed the Feixiong Army, a heavy cavalry army!

Moreover, they must be stationed together with the Xianchen Camp.

Le Jin swallowed.

They had already seen the strength of Xian Chenying and Xu Rong.

Now that we have lost the Ma family army, if we have to encounter these two heavy cavalry units, it will be a matter of life and death!
If they have to fight head-on, I wonder if the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry trained by Cao Chun in the past two years can compete?

Du Xi stood beside Xiahou Yuan, gently pulled his sleeve, and whispered: "Whether it is true or not, this is a huge shock. We must report it to Sikong immediately and let Sikong make a decision."

Xiahou Yuan then nodded, smiled at Zhang Sui and said, "General, today's meeting ends here."

"Brother will soon be here with his army."

"When the time comes, I will let my brother personally reminisce with you, the great general."

"It's getting late today, I'll go get busy first."

"Farewell!"

After saying this, he took the lead and left with his generals.

While returning to the camp, Xiahou Yuan said to Le Jin beside him: "I will write a letter to my brother right away, and you can take it back in person!"

"Not only do we need to kill Ma Chao's three clans, but we also need to report the information we just got."

"Now that we have lost the Ma family army, we are not only missing tens of thousands of people, but also three thousand elite cavalry."

"If what that kid said is true, then it would be a joke for us to continue heading north now."

"But it could also be a scam."

"That kid is not a good person. Don't take his words seriously. Let your brother and the military advisors analyze it carefully."

Le Jin responded and left quickly.
