The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 567 The arrival of the army
"Thank you for your hard work. Go and have a good rest. I predict that Xiahou Dun will not dare to act rashly against us these days. We still have a few days of peace before the arrival of the enemy army." Zhou Yu let Xiahou Dun suffer twice in a row. No matter how impulsive they are, they dare not provoke him.

"It's the general!" Zhou Tai and Zhu Huan went down to rest after finishing speaking.

Five days later, Xiahouyuan's army finally arrived, and everything went as Zhou Yu expected. Xiahoudun didn't come to Xiaopei to harass him these days, and he found another place to set up camp.

After Xiahouyuan arrived, he found that both Xiahoudun and Manchong were in poor spirits, and there were a lot less cavalry. He knew that they must have lost the battle, so he said, "Yuan Rang, I will let you lead the cavalry to Xiaopei to set up camp first. Why did you lose nearly half of the cavalry, did you go to the city to challenge Zhou Yu, and fell into his scheme?"

Xiahoudun and Manchong glanced at each other and sighed, "I fell into his scheme before I had time to challenge Zhou Yu under the city." Xiahoudun told Xiahouyuan everything that had happened in the past few days, and at the same time reminded Xiahouyuan not to underestimate him. Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu's resourcefulness is enough to make people fearful. He didn't think Zhou Yu had any abilities when he was in Hebei, but he really learned how powerful Zhou Yu was after fighting against the enemy.

"Yuan Rang, how can you say that you are also a battle-hardened veteran, and you have fallen into Zhou Yu's tricks twice in a row? You are too reckless." Xia Houyuan was a little unhappy after hearing Xiahou Dun's words, if it wasn't because of them He is a brother of the same clan, he will definitely punish Xiahou Dun.

Xiahou Dun lowered his head when he saw Xiahouyuan was angry. He had a very good relationship with Xiahouyuan. Normally Xiahouyuan would not be angry, but now Xiahouyuan lost his temper. It was because Xiahoudun's two tricks would affect the morale of the whole army. Very bad for siege.

"Boning, I asked you to assist Yuan Rang. He has an impulsive personality and is easy to fall for tricks. You are calm and calm. I thought it would be helpful to have your assistance by the side, but it didn't work at all." After Xia Houyuan finished speaking, Xia Houdun said Man Chong.

"The last general is guilty, and I ask General Xiahou to punish him!" Man Chong clasped his fists and knelt down, without any dissatisfaction in his heart.

Liu Ye saw this from the side, and hurriedly came out to smooth things over: "Okay, okay, General Xiahou, don't be so angry, Zhou Yu is scheming, he has no intentions, Xiahou Dun will inevitably fall into the trap, even with Bo Ning's assistance, he can't avoid it, and I believe that Xiahou Dun must have been so impulsive because he was eager to avenge Xia Houheng, and now that our army has a bad start, we should unite as one instead of blaming each other, otherwise Zhou Yu will really be fooled."

Xia Houyuan knew that he was a little impulsive, so he took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and said, "Yuan Rang, Bo Ning, my tone was bad just now, I hope you don't take it to heart."

Man Chong said quickly: "The general's words are absolutely right, how could I take it to heart."

"Miaocai is right in reprimanding me. I won't be impulsive again." Although Xiahou Dun is older than Xiahouyuan, but because of his personality, Xiahouyuan is usually more suitable to lead the three armies, so Xiahoudun always listens to Xiahouyuan's words.

"Things are over, let's stop worrying about our mistakes, let's think about how to attack the city first." Seeing that the atmosphere has eased, Liu Ye began to get back to business.

"Zhou Yu is resourceful and resourceful. It is not easy to capture Xiaopei under his defense. However, our army was hit repeatedly a few days ago. I want to challenge Zhou Yu to defeat his prestige in order to boost our army's morale. I don't know everyone. What do you mean?" Xiahou Dun always wanted to go to the city to challenge Zhou Yu, but he was worried that he would be caught in Zhou Yu's tricks, so he didn't move out until Xia Houyuan's army arrived.

Xiahouyuan knew that Xiahoudun was very competitive, and it was normal for him to want to take revenge after suffering Zhou Yu's losses twice in a row. What's more, he also wanted to break through the city to avenge his son. Will a calm personality easily send generals out of the city to confront you?"

"General Xiahou, don't worry. Although Zhou Yu is the main general, don't forget that this is Li Yuan's army. The generals under Li Yuan's command are all top-notch generals in the world. There are countless generations with high martial arts skills. If we go to challenge Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu will have a lot to do." Maybe a general will be sent out to fight." Liu Ye knew Li Yuan's army very well.

Xia Houyuan nodded and said, "In this case, we will take a day off today and start attacking the city tomorrow. Let Yuan Rang lead the soldiers to challenge and defeat Zhou Yu's prestige."

The next day, Zhou Yu led his generals to the top of the city to watch early in the morning. He saw that Xia Houyuan's army had already set up their camp, and a hundred thousand troops were approaching the city, with countless banners and endless troops. Even Zhou Yu felt the pressure, but it was okay. They did not lose to the enemy in terms of military strength, so it would not be too difficult to defend, as long as there were no major mistakes, the enemy would definitely not be able to break through the city.

"Xia Houyuan is worthy of being a general of the Cao army. His camp is well-arranged. Even if we want to sneak attack again, it will be very difficult." Cheng Yu praised after seeing the enemy's formation, and everyone nodded in agreement.

At this time, a wave of dust swept up not far away, and several generals came leading tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. They stopped less than [-] steps away from the city. Xiahou Dun was not afraid of the archers on the city at all. He whipped his horse and ran to the bottom of the city, looked up, just in time to see Zhou Yu, he shouted: "Does Zhou Yu still recognize me?"

"Hahahahahaha, I thought who it was. It turned out to be General Xiahoudun. I miss you so much after not seeing you for a long time. I don't know why you brought troops to Xiaopei?" Zhou Yu's tone was very friendly, and it didn't look like the two armies were facing each other at all. , more like a mutual greeting between friends.

Xia Houdun sneered and said, "Hmph, Zhou Yu, don't put on a show. I've been tricked by you twice in a row, but don't think that you can beat me by doing this. Today I will lead an army to challenge you. How dare you send a general out?" Fight?"

"I can rely on the city to defend, so why go out of the city to fight with you, Xiahoudun, you are still a general who has been marching for many years, and you don't even understand such a superficial truth. How to fight." Zhou Yu will not easily send people to fight, they have an advantage in condescending defense, so why bother to go out of the city to fight Xiahou Dun.

Xiahoudun looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Hahahahaha, I have always asked Li Yuan's fierce generals like clouds, and the five tiger generals are even more famous all over the world. Now it is nothing more than that, but it is useless to be afraid of me, Xiahoudun. If you are afraid Just be a coward in the city." Liu Ye actually taught him to say these words, Liu Ye thought that these words might not have any effect on Zhou Yu, but Li Yuan's generals must not be convinced after hearing this.
