Lu Dynasty

Chapter 535 Xiahou
Cao sent all the shopkeeper and staff of Jimin Restaurant to prison, but with Cao's cunning, how could I have only one clear line to deal with him?The spies in Xuchang had already sent back the news that Cao was going to send troops to attack me. Before the war with foreigners, I had already prepared myself against Cao and Liu Bei.I know that these two will never give up a good chance to beat me.However, Cao didn't let me go, he could send troops directly, but Liu Bei had nothing to do with me.Without Liu Biao's consent, Liu Bei could have strong generals and powerful soldiers, but he could do nothing. For the first time, Liu Bei hoped that the confused Liu Biao would die quickly.

Although Liu Bei wanted Liu Biao to die, he, who always thought he was benevolent, would never take the initiative to hurt Liu Biao or occupy Liu Biao's territory.Now Liu Bei's biggest wish is to get someone like Guo Jia and Xun Yu to plan everything for him.In fact, not only Liu Bei was anxious, but Sima Hui was also anxious.Without Xu Shu's recommendation, he couldn't make Zhuge Liang's grand debut.In Sima Hui's view, Liu Bei would not cherish something that was not hard-earned.Originally, Sima Hui wanted Xu Shu to serve Liu Bei first, let Liu Bei see Xu Shu's ability, and then let Xu Shu compare with Zhuge Liang, and finally Xu Shu led Liu Bei to invite Zhuge Liang, so as to reflect Zhuge Liang's value.It's a pity that all plans came to nothing, and Xu Shu ran under my hands!As for asking Pang Tong to pave the way for Zhuge Liang, not to mention that Pang Xiaoniao was unwilling, even Pang Tong's uncle Pang Degong would not agree!Sima Hui is very troubled now, and really doesn't know how to make Zhuge Liang stand out.

Cao thought he had captured the spy in the Jimin Restaurant, but I didn't know his whereabouts, because he made Xuchang so tight that he couldn't pass on the news at all.But Cao didn't expect that I not only used spies to deliver messages, but also used birds to communicate!In Cao's heart, bird communication is a unique technology of foreign races, and he doesn't really believe in Hongyan's transmission of letters!It took Cao a few days to prepare troops and rations, and he asked the Xiahou brothers to lead the cavalry day and night, hoping to conquer Hulao Pass by surprise as quickly as possible!But Jia Xu had already informed Zhang He and Xu Huang to get them ready.Even if Jia Xu didn't notify, Zhang He and Xu Huang guarding Hulao Pass would not take it lightly. After all, they were guarding against Cao Cao Mengde, whom even I was afraid of!

Xia Houyuan is known as a general who runs fast, but no matter how fast he runs, it is not as convenient as Zhang He and Xu Huang who waited for work at leisure.When the Xiahou brothers arrived at Hulao Pass, Zhang He and Xu Huang were already ready for battle.The Xiahou brothers looked at Xu Huang and Zhang He standing on the top of the city in surprise. They didn't expect that Cao Ba had removed the Jimin restaurants in Yingchuan, but our army still got the news!Even so, Brother Xiahou didn't care.Now I am poisoned and my life is unknown. All the generals are fighting against foreigners in Bingzhou. Brother Xiahou feels that as long as he is a person who understands current affairs, he will make a choice that is beneficial to him!So Xia Houyuan rode his horse forward and shouted: "People who are closed in the tiger prison, listen, Lu Feng has been poisoned by a poisoned arrow, and he has already died. The foreign tribe and Yuan Shao gathered 200 million troops and they will soon hit Luoyang. You follow Lu Feng and you are lonely souls." Follow the ghosts! If you surrender to my lord now and release Hulao, my lord will forget the past..."

"Shoot!" Xia Houyuan hadn't finished speaking when someone gave an order from the top of the city, and arrows shot towards Cao Jun like raindrops.Xu Huang stood on the gate and said with a smile: "Don't say that the lord has been hit by a poisonous arrow, even if the lord is in danger, since I have accepted the lord's order to guard the Hulao pass, I will die! Unless there is an order from the lord or the mistress, Otherwise, don’t want me to switch to surrender! My lord has always regarded Cao Mengde as a hero, but he is just a villain! My lord has worked hard against foreigners, but he is behind my lord! Cao has become a foreigner and slaughtered my Han people His accomplice, actually wanted to engrave 'Tomb of Marquis Zhengxi Cao' on the tombstone, I am so shameless!"

"Bold!" Xiahou Dun had a hot temper. When he heard Xu Huang insulting Cao, he immediately burst into anger.Xiahoudun pointed at the pass with a knife and said, "If you don't surrender now, I won't give you pleasure when I break through the pass. If you want to die, I won't give you pleasure! Xiahoudun is here, who dares to fight me?"

"I, Xu Gongming, will play with you!" Xu Huang raised his ax and was about to leave the pass. Zhang He grabbed Xu Huang and said, "Brother Gongming, you have done a lot of credit for following the lord! As for the monkey Let me, a newcomer, show my strength!" Zhang He picked up the spear and walked down the pass, Xu Huang didn't snatch him!
When the door was closed and opened, Xia Houyuan saw Zhang He and said to Xiahou Dun: "Brother, he is Zhang He and Zhang Junyi who blocked Yuan Shao for two years, you have to be careful!"

"Yuan Shao is just a good-for-nothing. If Zhang He can stop Meng De for two years, I'll be a little more afraid of him!" Xiahou Dun often heard Cao say that Yuan Shao was incompetent, and he really regarded Yuan Shao as incompetent.You know, Zhang He in history was even afraid of Zhuge Liang, but Zhuge Liang was the one who often let Cao down!

Zhang He didn't hear the conversation between Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan. He pointed the spear in his hand and shouted at Xiahoudun: "What kind of monkey, why don't you hurry up and die?" Seriously, don't look at what the ancients said. Ordinary weapons, eighteen martial arts, in fact, the weapons used by military generals are very rare, especially for immediate generals.It was nothing more than knives, guns, halberds, and then big axes. Few even used hammers. Those who used hammers were mostly long-handled hammers, not double hammers.Only the foreigners use the one-horned bronze figures and maces, and the maces used by the foreigners are not the maces after the Tang and Song Dynasties. They use thick sticks with some iron nails. Strictly speaking, that Things are not even weapons!However, this kind of thing has a long history. It was widely used in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods. It seemed to be called '殳' at that time!
Xiahou Dun didn't like Zhang He very much, and now he was called a monkey by Zhang He, and he was even more angry.In fact, fighting generals are the same as fighting. With the same martial arts, the more calm you are, the greater the chance of victory!Of course, there are generals who are more angry and better at martial arts, but they are a minority after all, and Brother Xiahou is obviously not!Xiahou Dun, who was stimulated by Zhang He, rushed to Zhang He on his horse, trying to chop him off the horse.But there is not that big difference between Zhang He and Xiahou Dun's martial arts.

Xiahou Dun and Zhang He fought nearly a hundred rounds of ping-pong-pong, and the two were evenly matched.Xia Houyuan asked the deputy general to command the army, and rushed forward himself.Zhang He is not Lu Bu, he cannot resist the Xiahou brothers.Xu Huang wanted to go down to help, but he couldn't leave the pass alone, so Xu Huang had no choice but to withdraw his troops!
