The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 427 The Death of Xia Houyuan

Li Yan withdrew before Xia Houyuan arrived, and also removed a large number of weapons and luggage.

When Xia Houyuan saw the ruins, he was so angry that he scolded Xia Houde severely. Then he was about to chase Li Yan, but was stopped by Guo Huai. He was a fool, what if he was ambushed by the other party again? .

Although Xia Houyuan has a bit of a temper, he is not an idiot. After many years of marching and fighting, he naturally knows the danger of chasing the enemy at night, not to mention that the opponent is not retreating.

Fazheng ordered Li Yan to attack Xiahouyuan's Dongzhai just to anger Xiahouyuan. When Xiahouyuan rescued Dongzhai, he and Zhang Ren led the army to suddenly capture a high mountain west of Dingjun Mountain.

There are dangerous roads all around this mountain. From the mountain, you can clearly see the reality of Xiahouyuan’s southern village. On the mountain, only Xiahoushang, another nephew of Xiahouyuan’s clan, and hundreds of people are defending. Abandon the mountain and go.

When Xia Houyuan came back and heard that Fazheng had occupied the high mountain opposite, he was furious. This young scholar repeatedly teased me, thinking I was a clay figurine?Now you dare to go to the opposite mountain to check the reality of my camp, you are looking for death, the mountain is surrounded by dangerous roads, I will surround you this time, and then I will personally arrest you to see where you can go.

Guo Huai had a bad premonition when the Chu army attacked Dongzhai at night, and when he learned that Xia Houyuan was going to attack again, he quickly persuaded him, "This is the strategy of Fa Zheng, the general cannot go out to fight, just stay here."

Xia Houyuan was already full of anger at this time, how could he listen to Guo Huai's suggestion, and said: "Occupy me on the opposite side of the mountain, and see my reality, how can I not fight?"

So he didn't listen to Guo Huai's suggestion, stayed Guo Huai to guard the camp, and divided his troops to surround the opposite mountain, and then personally led the troops to attack Fazheng.

Zhang Ren led his troops to guard in the middle of the mountain. Ren Xiahouyuan insulted him in every possible way, but did not fight.

Xia Houyuan sent people to charge up several times, but they were all shot back by bows and arrows. It was already early summer, and Cao Jun was hot, tired and thirsty. Seeing that the opponent was only defending but not fighting, most of them were tired and their spirits had fallen. Get off your horse and sit on rocks to rest.

At this time, a soldier of Cao Jun suddenly shouted: "Dazhai is on fire!"

Xia Houyuan hurriedly looked back, only to see thick smoke rising from his camp on the Dingjun Mountain opposite, and his face turned pale with fright. If the other party occupied his military camp, then the military fortress of Dingjun Mountain would be lost, and the consequences would be disastrous .

The smoke was like a signal. Xia Houyuan was just about to order the withdrawal of troops to help Dazhai, when a red flag suddenly rose on the mountain, and then there were killing sounds, and Zhang Ren led his troops to rush down.

It turned out that after Li Yan attacked Cao Jun's East Village, he did not join Fazheng, but set up an ambush. After Xia Houyuan led his troops out of the camp, he went to sneak attack Cao Jun's South Village.

Cao Jun's camp was guarded by Guo Huai, and Li Yan didn't have many soldiers and horses, so he didn't take down the camp. He only set a fire here, but this fire frightened Xia Houyuan, because he didn't know what was going on here. Case.

After Li Yan set off a fire, he saw that Cao Jun in the village panicked for a while, and then he calmed down under the organization of a general and began to prepare for defense, so he withdrew.According to the plan formulated by Fazheng in advance, the surprise attack on Cao Jun's Nanzhai was not to occupy it, but to disturb the morale of Xia Houyuan's army in front.

Xia Houyuan really panicked, because he didn't know the real situation, and he didn't dare to bet that Guo Huai would be able to defend Dazhai, mainly because there were not many troops left behind to guard Dazhai. It was blocked here, and the other party also opened the door to Hanzhong.

Zhang Ren, who was guarding in the middle of the mountain, waited for work with ease. After seeing the signal, he led his troops to rush down quickly, and was condescending again. Many Cao soldiers took off their armor to rest because of the hot weather, and rushed to the enemy before they could put on their clothes.

Xia Houyuan hurriedly met the enemy, only to find out why the enemy general whom he had defeated some time ago suddenly became so powerful!That long spear made ghosts and ghosts disappear, and the gun never left his vitals. This strength was actually stronger than his own. Only then did Xia Houyuan realize that the opponent had pretended to be defeated and left last time.

Thinking of this, Xia Houyuan broke out in a cold sweat. It turned out that he had been being played with all this time. Could it be that the scholar Fazheng was plotting against him from the beginning?
Xia Houyuan didn't dare to fight, and he didn't care about the soldiers under him. After a false move, he turned his horse's head and ran away. As long as he can go back to defend Dazhai, it doesn't matter if he loses some soldiers and horses. He must not let the opponent occupy Dingjun Mountain. Maybe Xu Shu is also leading his troops to rush here at this time.

Seeing that Xia Houyuan had escaped, Zhang Ren pursued him closely.As soon as Xiahouyuan ran to the foot of the mountain, a group of soldiers and horses suddenly blocked his way. The leader of the army came straight to Xiahouyuan on horseback wielding a sword.

There was an interception in front and a chaser in the back. Xia Houyuan was eager to get rid of the pursuit of the fierce general behind him, but he didn't pay attention to the young Li Yan. At this time, he only had dozens of cavalry to follow him, so he planned to deal with the young enemy general. Over the interception.However, this underestimation of the enemy finally cost Xia Houyuan his life.

Li Yan was the one who could fight Huang Zhong for [-] rounds. Even Zhuge Liang said that Li Yan was impossible to win, and he could only force him to surrender by tricks.After Li Yan retreated from Cao Jun's Nanzhai, he lay in ambush at the foot of the mountain and waited for Xia Houyuan's arrival. At this time, he used all his strength to slash at Xia Houyuan.

Xia Houyuan didn't take it seriously at first. As a famous general who has ruled the world for 20 years and beheaded countless enemies, Xia Houyuan felt that besides Ma Chao, Huang Zhong and Pang De, it would be surprising that there was another fierce general who could match him. How could he have thought of it? The oncoming young man will be even fiercer.

After receiving the knife, Xia Houyuan secretly groaned in his heart. It was over, and he met someone who could fight again. What was even more painful was that he underestimated the enemy and was careless just now!

Ordinarily, even if Li Yan's force is stronger than Xia Houyuan's, it's not much stronger, but Li Yan is younger. If the two of them formally challenged each other, they would not be able to tell the winner in fifty rounds.

However, if two generals of similar strength are singled out, if one of them underestimates the enemy, the consequences will be hard to say.

During the Battle of Guandu, Yan Liang's strength was actually not much different from Guan Yu's. At the worst, he would not be able to be hacked to death by Guan Yu. As a result, Guan Yu didn't say a word, and chopped Yan Liang to death with a knife in his hand.

Now Xia Houyuan was underestimated by Li Yan because he underestimated the enemy, and with Zhang Ren chasing after him, he suddenly panicked and refused to accept his command with the sword in his hand. After three rounds, Li Yan yelled and cut him off the horse.

After Xia Houyuan died, Cao Jun had no fighting spirit. When Fazheng led his troops on the mountain, Cao Jun knelt down and surrendered.
