Zhang He found Xiahou Shang in the riot army. Most of the two soldiers and horses were lost, and there was no food and grass and weapons, so he could not fight again.

Zhang He originally wanted to lead the defeated army to return to Cao Hong, but Huang Zhong had already made arrangements and led the army to block their retreat.

The two discussed together, and felt that it was not difficult to open the retreat, but the loss was too great and they had no face to go back to see Cao Hong. Xiahou Shang made the decision and led the thousands of defeated soldiers to the direction of Dingjun Mountain in Tiandang Mountain and fled to the uncle Xiahou Yuan.

The two led their troops to meet Xiahou Yuan and took the initiative to propose the crime of defeat. The two were suspected of reporting beyond the level, which completely offended Cao Hong.

Fortunately, Xiahou Yuan did not take their defeat seriously, and now it is the time to use people, and a famous general like Zhang He will naturally not pursue their defeat at this time.

Although Zhang He was defeated twice in a row, his attack was set and his damaged troops were not damaged, which did not have much impact on the entire Hanzhong defense line.

Of course, Xiahou Yuan would not be so arrogant that he thought he could fight against Liu Bei who had come out in full swing. When Liu Bei personally led his troops to Brazil County to clear the situation, he had already sent an envoy to Cao Cao for help.

Cao Cao quelled the rebellion in Xuchang and had no worries anymore. He decided to lead a large army to Hanzhong to fight against Liu Bei.

Xiahou Yuan didn't want Liu Bei to break through the Hanzhong defense line before Cao Cao arrived and approached Nanzheng City. He strengthened the defense of the periphery and personally led his troops to the front line of Dingjunshan to supervise the battle.

Xiahou Yuan followed Cao Cao and defeated Liu Bei many times, and had a considerable psychological advantage.

He was not afraid that Liu Bei would face him, because Liu Bei's number one fierce general Zhang Fei was his niece and he would take a detour when he saw him.

Xiahou Yuan thought that the most important thing in the defense line in Hanzhong was Tiandang Mountain.

Because it is the place where the front-line army can stockpile food and grass, it is also the gateway to Micang Mountain.

Micang Mountain was the place where Xiahou Yuan prepared to attack Xichuan. He almost stocked up nearly half of the food and grass from Hanzhong, and was the source of life for Hanzhong soldiers.

If Micang Mountain fails, there will be a shortage of food in the army immediately. Not only will it lose the possibility of advancing Xichuan, but it will not even be able to defend Hanzhong.

When Xiahou Yuan saw Zhang He and Xiahou Shang coming, he happened to let them go to Tiandang Mountain to strengthen the defense of food and grass.

So Xiahou Yuan said to Zhang He very seriously, Xiahou Shang:

"Tiandang Mountain is a place where the front-line army stationed grain. Although there are many troops guarding, as many as 50,000, there are only Xiahou De, a general who is not very outstanding. The commander of the army is a bit insufficient. You two will lead the headquarters and go to Tiandang Mountain to serve as deputy generals to assist Xiahou De in guarding this mountain."

Xiahou Yuan arranged the two of them, which was equivalent to poaching them from Cao Hong. Although it was within his power, he could not make decisions without authorization. So he asked Cao Xiu to go back to assist Cao Hong in fighting against Zhang Fei, and informed Zhang He about Xiahou Shang's mobilization.

Zhang He and Xiahou Shang received Xiahou Yuan's military order and led their troops to Tiandang Mountain overnight. When they saw Xiahou De, they took out Xiahou Yuan's appointment document.

After reading the documents, Xiahou De had some thoughts in his mind. Originally, he was here, an independent kingdom, and he was in charge of food, grass, military resources, and everything was decided in one sentence, which was a rare lack of fat.

Now two more people are coming, and their abilities and positions are not inferior to me. Although they are just deputy generals for the time being, they must separate power and divide the troops to the two, and they are very reluctant.

His eyes rolled, and he thought about it and decided to hit the two of them. He was Xiahou Shang's brother and said to Xiahou Shang casually:

"Bo Ren, I have 50,000 heavy troops here. Since you are all defeated by Huang Zhong, I heard that Huang Zhong's soldiers are less than 10,000. If you want to avenge you, I can divide the army of 30,000 to defeat Huang Zhong, take the original village again, and capture Jiameng Pass, which is a great achievement."

Zhang He lost several times in a row, and Tiandang Mountain was a place of food and supplies. He did not dare to use the army without any voluntary action. Moreover, he was already a frightened bird. He did not seek merit, but did not seek any mistakes. He did not dare to find Huang Zhong's bad habits again. He thanked Xiahou De:

"General Xiahou's kindness is recognized. Tiandang Mountain is a place of food and grass. It is only necessary to stick to it and not move it arbitrarily."

Xiahou Shang's defeat to Huang Zhong this time was because Huang Zhong robbed the camp in the middle of the night. Although it was his own fault, he was a little confused and was very unwilling to accept it.

When he heard Xiahou De let him lead the army to take revenge, he was a little moved, but after hearing Zhang He's words, he remembered his uncle Xiahou Yuan's advice and said to Xiahou De:

"The revenge is not in a hurry. Old man Huang Zhong will definitely not be able to hold back and will come to him sooner or later. Then I will give him a head-on blow!"

As soon as Xiahou Shang finished speaking, he suddenly heard the shock of the golden drum in front of the mountain, and he went to the Malay newspaper:

"Huang Zhong led five thousand troops and horses and has arrived at the foot of the mountain."

Things happened so coincidental that Zhang He and Xiahou Shang looked at each other, and Xiahou De laughed and said:

"Just going to avenge Boren, Huang Zhong came to him! The old thief was not familiar with military tactics, so he pursued him relentlessly, and only relied on his courage!"

When Zhang He saw that Xiahou De was quite indifferent to the enemy, he was a deputy general who had not yet taken office, so he naturally had no right to make a decision, but it was necessary to dissuade him, so he said:

"Huang Zhong is extremely brave and powerful, and he is very cunning. If he is not a brave man, he should not underestimate the enemy."

Xiahou De disagreed with it and spoke:

"Huang Zhong led his troops to rescue Jiameng Pass. He fought for several days and his soldiers were exhausted and even went deep into the enemy's territory. This is nothing to do!"

Xiahou De's words were very reasonable and Zhang could not argue, but he was still scared of Huang Zhongxin and said angrily:

"Nevertheless, the general's duty is to protect food and grass. It is not advisable to fight easily, and stick to it first."

Xiahou Shang was originally determined to take revenge, but he was afraid of losing the food and grass. Now Huang Zhong really came to him and could not tolerate him not being able to resist the battle, so he rose up and said to Xiahou De:

"I wish to borrow three thousand elite soldiers from my brother to go to the camp, and I wish Huang Zhong five thousand tired soldiers would be defeated."

Xiahou De also believed that Huang Zhong was not worth worrying, so he divided 5,000 troops to Xiahou Shang go down the mountain to meet the enemy.

When Huang Zhong saw Xiahou Shangbing arrive, he reorganized his army to fight. Liu Feng dissuaded:

"It has already sunk westward, and the soldiers are all from afar, so they should hang high signs to avoid battle, guard the camp, and let the soldiers stop for a while and fight again tomorrow."

Huang Zhong smiled and said:

"Otherwise, although our army comes from afar, we have enough rest along the road, eat punctually, the soldiers are physically strong and have high morale, and the enemy is indifferent to the enemy. This is a great achievement for heaven, and not taking it is against the will of heaven."

Although Liu Feng was known as the major general, he had no responsibility for supervision and could not interfere with Huang Zhong's military affairs and did not object to him again.

Huang Zhong is a mature person, so he will naturally not make Liu Feng look ugly, so he lets him lead the army behind and he will fight himself.
