Chapter 248

Micang Mountain, Cao Jun Xizhai

The fire on the hillside was majestic, and from a distance it looked like a fiery red hell. The thick smoke suffocated and the heat waves hit people. The Cao army soldiers in the village were all sweating profusely, and their bodies were as if they were flooded from the water.

Dozens of thunderbolt cars tilted down the mountain frantically, smashing stones. Behind the fence in front of the village, the archers wiped the sweat from their faces, while neatly repeating the movement of pulling arrows-opening strings-shooting arrows, and the arrows were raining like locusts.

"Huh~~!" Xiahou Yuan took the cloth towel from his personal soldiers, smeared heavily on his face, and then loosened the ribbons of the heavy iron armor bound on his body. In this case, the armor was not far from the steamer.

"Uncle, this is not a solution!" Pingwei's captain Xiahou Shang was also very frightened. His handsome face had become a little deformed, and he said with a heavy breath.

"After another hour, the fire will be extinguished!" Xiahou Yuan said in a deep voice with a tiger's face, "Fortunately, more than half of the dead grass above the mountainside."

Thinking of having to endure an hour in such a painful situation, Xiahou couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart: "Uncle, sister... Zhang Fei is so amazing to do it."

Originally, Xiahou Shang was about to say "brother-in-law", but when he saw Xiahou Yuan's stern face, he had to change his words.

Xiahou Rong's "bad marriage" has long been a private secret among the Cao and Xiahou families.

Although Mrs. Cui was determined to keep the secret, Xiahou Yuan did not intend to hide it from his family. He had found an opportunity to confess the matter to Cao Cao a few years ago.

After hearing this, Cao Cao didn't care about anything. Instead, he laughed and joked with his clan brothers. He said that he could make the opponents who were the most troublesome to become his juniors, and it was not considered a loss of buying and selling.

However, in order to protect Xiahou Yuan's reputation, Cao Cao also issued a ban on Cao and Xiahou families, stating that they should not publicize this matter to outsiders, otherwise they would be severely punished.

"Don't ask him in front of me!" Xiahou Yuan groaned and said with a tiger face. Although he knew that his beloved daughter had not suffered over the years, she could be said to have a happy marriage and a harmonious family. But Xiahou Yuan still could not care about this matter.

Xiahou Shang consciously closed his mouth and did not dare to touch his uncle's reverse scales again.

After looking at the enemy army formation at the foot of the mountain for a moment, Xiahou Yuan said a little ruthlessly: "You brothers have more than ten, if anyone has half of his ability, you Yuan Rang, Zi Xiao, and Uncle Zi Lian can wake up laughing when you fall asleep!"

Xiahou Shang muttered in a low voice, not daring to refute anything.

"Boren, go and see how it's going on in the East Village?" Xiahou Yuan said without looking back.

"Yes!" Xiahou Shang, who was relieved, took the order and left.

After half an hour, the wind weakened slightly. The heat wave seemed not so scorching. The enemy began to attack the mountain from a place without fire.

"Uncle..." Xiahou Shang rushed to Xiahou Yuan, who was commanding the soldiers to resist the enemy's attack on the mountain, with a very panic expression.

"Why are you so panicked? Is there anything wrong with Dongzhai?" Xiahou Yuan turned around and asked in a deep voice when he saw his nephew's expression.

"The East Village is not in a way. But an enemy army ran behind us..."

"What?" Before Xiahou Shang finished speaking, Xiahou Yuan changed his face and replied: "What's going on? Explain it clearly!"

"This..." Perhaps because of anxiety, Xiahou Shang failed to express his meaning clearly several times, so he simply said. "Uncle, come with me and see..."

Because the fire on the mountainside was still strong, Xiahou Yuan did not expect the enemy army to attack the mountain in a short time. After a few words, he followed Xiahou Shang straight to the back camp.

"Uncle, look!" When we arrived at the northeast corner of the camp, Xiahou Shang pointed to the north.

The direction of Xiahou Shang's finger is another mountain in the Micang Mountains. The location is roughly the same as the north-south line of the mountain where Cao Jun Xizhai is located, with a horizontal distance of about 7,800 steps. The peak is about 400 meters high and the mountain is high and dangerous.

Xiahou Yuan sent troops to Micang Shandong and the west camps, he had simply observed this mountain. At that time, he believed that apart from guarding the valley road, this mountain had no value in garrisoning.

Except for the easier climb to the north, the other three sides of this unknown mountain can be said to be cliffs. In addition, if you are guarding against attacks from south to north, the enemy must first pass through the east and west villages of Cao's army.

Only then can you reach this mountain, except. There is no other way. Once the two camps are broken through, this lonely mountain will not be able to stop the enemy's attack.

In view of this, Xiahou Yuan did not station troops at this peak.

However, at this moment, fluttering flags appeared on this nameless mountain peak.

It's really surprising!

The distance is quite far away, and the size of the font on the flag is really hard to see clearly, but Xiahou Yuan can still vaguely identify the color of the flag - dark green, which is the dark green battle flag unique to Liu Bei's army.

"How is it possible? How could the enemy appear in the north?" Even though Xiahou Yuan had experienced many battles, he couldn't help but be shocked, "When did he discover it?"

"It was not long ago." Xiahou Shang was also inexplicably, "I didn't find it when I went to Dongzhai, but I saw it when I came back!"

"Come here, send a scout to find out the situation and see how many enemy troops have sneaked over." Xiahou Yuan did not hesitate and ordered immediately, "Bo Ren, please inform Huidongzhai quickly and prepare to defend against the enemy's sneak attack in the back mountain."

"Speedly adjust a group of troops and strengthen the garrison of the rear camp."

"Select a person to send a letter to Nanzheng to guard against enemy attacks."

After a series of orders were issued, Xiahou Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned and stared at the nameless mountain in the north.

"Uncle, I have sent someone here." After half a cup of tea, Xiahou Shang returned to Xiahou Yuan and whispered, "How did the enemy appear behind?"

Xiahou Yuan had a solemn expression, but he didn't say anything.

The two Caojun camps strangled the two valleys that crossed the Micang Mountains, and there was no other way to walk except these two valleys.

Although rumors say that some mountain roads used by mountain people when collecting herbs and chopping wood can also cross Micang Mountain, after Xiahou Yuan personally went to see them, he found that this so-called mountain road is actually climbing mountain rocks.

Except for monkeys and those mountain people who often cross mountains and ridges, ordinary people are simply inaccessible.

But in order to ensure that everything is safe, Xiahou Yuan still sent a few soldiers to patrol the wind and guard there.

Under such circumstances, Xiahou Yuan, who had been through many battles, couldn't figure out how the enemy troops appeared behind the camp?

.

Pang Tong walked over with brisk steps, handed me a thin silk letter and said, "General. I just received a letter from Fei Ge, Wuqian Fei Army has occupied that mountain."

After taking the silk book, I quickly browsed it.

"That mountain is more than 50 feet higher than the two villages of Cao's army. In this way, every move of Cao's army will fall into the eyes of our army. Moreover, the flying army can also cross the valley road and intercept the food, grass, supplies and supplies of Cao's army. See how Xiahou Yuan can still sit down!" Pang Tong said with a smile.

"I guess Xiahou Yuan hasn't figured out how the flying army ran to the back of his two camps!"

"Yang Ren said it is indeed a good thing. There is indeed a hidden mountain spring on the peak. It is probably no problem to support the food and grass carried by the flying army for ten days." I nodded and said.

"Don't say ten days, I'm afraid Xiahou Yuan may not be able to bear it for five days." Pang Tong laughed. "As long as the Cao army is confused, the difficulty of attacking the mountain will be greatly reduced!"

The current situation is very similar to the Battle of Dingjunshan in the original history. During the Battle of Dingjunshan, Huang Zhong and Fa Zheng also occupied a peak overlooking Cao Jun camp.

It forced my "Master Taishan" to forcibly attack the mountain, and was finally killed by Huang Zhong with a condescending force in front of the formation.

This time, Huang Zhong originally asked me for his appointment, but was eventually rejected by me.

The battle to capture Yonecang Mountain can be said to be half successful at present. The next half depends on how Lord Taishan reacts.

Lujiang, General Administration Office of the South

"Although Su dared not assert that everyone in the detained generals were loyal ministers. But everyone would never have the intention to rebel." Lu Su looked directly at Liu Bei and said earnestly, "It was like the general of the Yi Zhonglang, who conquered the Yi Zhonglang.

Since surrendering to the lord, He Qi has led the army several times, and there are many opportunities to lead the army alone during this period.

If you really want to rebel, wouldn’t the opportunity be better than now? He Gongmiao was originally training troops in Danyang with his lord, and there were a lot of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands. If you really want to rebel, you should have to raise your troops. Why should you return to Lujiang alone and surrender?”

"Look at the dozens of civil servants and generals who were bound. Who had acted violently when they were taken? This is not the reaction of a rebel person." After a pause, Lu Su continued, "All these things, please investigate the lord?"

"Lord, although Lord Lu's words make sense, they really cannot stand scrutiny!" Zhang Yi shook his head slightly and said slowly, "Whether the detained person has the intention to rebel, Lord Lu cannot confirm, but Yi and General Gong have clear evidence.

Let’s talk about He Qi. Although he had the opportunity to lead the army alone, it was all two years ago. At that time, the Sun family might have not yet begun to contact He Qi to rebel.

And if Yi remembered it well, He Qi was once controlled by General Lu Xun and once controlled by General Lu Meng. It would probably not be so easy to raise troops to rebel.

Besides, although He Qi was in charge of military training, the lords of Danyang counties had been around for a long time, and the people of Jiangdong lived and worked in peace and stability. If He Qi suddenly launched a military force to rebel, how many soldiers under his command would be willing to rebel?"

Watching Zhang Yi and Lu Su face each other's tit-for-tat, Liu Bei didn't say anything, but a complex and inexplicable look appeared in his eyes.

"Zhongsi, Zijing, I have roughly understood this matter." After a long time, Liu Bei sighed.

Zhang Yi, Lu Su and other civil and military officials in the hall immediately stopped arguing and turned their attention to Liu Bei.

After standing up and walking a few steps in the hall alone, Liu Bei suddenly waved his hand and said, "Bomin (Gong Du), you should first put the detained person home and remove the ban on guards from other places in the prefectures.
