Three Kingdoms: The Reverse Son of the Guan Family, Dragon Blessing Jingxiang

Chapter 599 It’s done, get over this mountain——

When Xia Houyuan walked out of the room, Jia Xu did not forget to shout out, General Xiahou, General Yuanrang (Xiahoudun) suffered a big loss at the hands of Huang Zhong in the past. Don't be careless!

In response to Jia Xu's instructions, Xia Houyuan just paused slightly to indicate that he heard it, and then walked out of the room.

Outside the house, Xia Houyuan's eldest son Xia Houheng and second son Xia Houba came towards them.

Xiahou Ba saw his father and couldn't wait to say, Dad, I heard that the black-faced ghost Zhang Fei is also coming to invade Hanzhong this time. My younger sister was kidnapped by him back then... No matter what, I have to deal with it this time. Teach him a lesson!

Yes! The battlefield allowed him to win by chance, but this time... no matter what, we can't let him go! It's best to capture him alive and exchange him for my eldest sister!

When Xia Houyuan heard Xia Houjuan's name, his originally calm expression could not help but stir up a few waves.

He let out a long sigh, and then said, People always say, 'If you marry a chicken, follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, follow the dog.' Today's Juan'er... I'm afraid she is no longer your sister... But, what you said Yes, it is impossible to get rid of this hatred of kidnapping a girl, and our Xiahou family should also give him a good account of it!

When it came to the end, especially the words revenge of kidnapping a girl, Xia Houyuan's expression changed and he started to grit his teeth.

just like…

Although he didn't say it, Xia Houyuan missed his daughter, and because of his deep love and hatred, he hated Zhang Fei so much that he separated their father and daughter!

Jia Xu heard this conversation in the room and couldn't help but step out and reminded: General Miaocai, please don't get angry. The hatred between the general and Zhang Fei is a personal hatred, but what the general wants to do today is a national hatred... Wei Wei The first decisive battle with the hypocrite on the Western Front battlefield... Besides, the opponent in this battle is Huang Zhong, not Zhang Fei. General Xiahou must remember to stay calm and think twice about everything. This battle... can only succeed, not fail!

Hear this…

I don't know whether the rhetoric of national feud or decisive battle irritated Xiahou Yuan, or whether the fact that his adopted daughter Xia Houjuan was kidnapped aroused his anger.

Xia Houyuan, this handsome man from Shangyi, suddenly turned into a fierce look on his handsome face.

Ha ha…

Accompanied by a sarcastic laugh, he raised his big hand rather boldly, If it is really that black-faced ghost, or Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi, because of the power of Sanba and Zitong, this general may still be a little afraid. , but Huang Zhong? Hahahaha... He is almost seventy, right? As the saying goes, 'people are incompetent when they are old, and gods are ineffective when they are old!' I, Xia Houyuan, am afraid of the sky, the earth, and the gods, but I am not afraid of stepping on one and a half feet. The old man in the coffin is in his eyes! Even if the general asked him to go a hundred miles, he would not be able to climb Micang Mountain!

Speaking of this, Xia Houyuan showed his domineering side. He directly ordered, Heng'er! Ba'er!

The general is here! Xia Houheng and Xia Houba immediately handed over their hands.

I order you two to immediately recruit eight thousand elite troops to follow me across Micang Mountain, set up an ambush on the side of the Han River, and capture Huang Zhong and the vanguard of the Shu army in one fell swoop!

Following Xia Houyuan's instructions, Xia Houheng and Xia Houba handed over their hands again, The last general takes orders——

It's not the child takes orders, but the general takes orders.

People say that the Wei army has strict military discipline, but Xia Houyuan's fast army has strict military discipline even more! If not, in the long history of rapid marches in ancient times, how easy would it be to achieve five hundred in three days or one thousand in six days?

only…

Listening to Xia Houyuan's words, Jia Xu couldn't help but have some ominous premonitions.

Eight thousand elite soldiers!

That's right, those eight thousand elite soldiers!

With this in mind, Jia Xu quickly said: General, what we are competing with the Shu army now is speed. Who can cross the Micang Mountain first? Traveling lightly and lightly... is the key to speeding up, and streamlining the soldiers is also one of the keys. , eight thousand elite soldiers... With all due respect, it is not easy to coordinate in the mountains, and it is easy to expose the tracks when gathered together. It is better to... reduce it to three thousand, so that the speed is as fast as the wind, and there is no risk of exposure! What does General Miaocai think?

Jia Xu put forward quite constructive experience.

He was born in Guanzhong, and served as an aide under Dong Zhuo, Zhang Yang, Zhang Xiu, and Cao Cao. Among them, he was stationed in mountain cities like Wancheng...

He has some experience in mountain warfare.

But...it seems that Xia Houyuan doesn't think so.

He waved his hand and said, Wen He is worrying too much! Hahahaha... Our opponent is not Zhang Fei who pacified Sanba, nor Ma Chao who made meritorious deeds, nor Zhao Zilong of Changshan who came in and out seven times, Huang Zhong? Haha? Haha... This old guy, so what if he once was so powerful in Jingnan? Now that he is old, wait until he crosses Micang Mountain? Haha... This general has already led his army to take back Sanba and pacify Shuzhong!

Hahaha... Wen He, just stay at home with peace of mind! When I chop off Huang Zhong's head, we will submit a letter to my elder brother asking for credit!

At this point, Xia Houyuan ignored Jia Xu and continued to order, Pass me to the military order. For this urgent trip, all military equipment will be counted. The soldiers on the expedition will take care of it. Take all the luggage with you and do not damage it -

With Xia Houyuan's last words... no, to be precise, it was the last words of instructions...

The entire Yangping Pass suddenly became busy.

Counting troops, counting supplies, counting supplies... It looked busy but orderly.

Only Jia Xu, as Xia Houyuan walked away, he let out a long breath of huh..., as if he had fallen into some kind of reverie... But soon, he figured it out, and when he opened his eyes again, He murmured in his mouth.

That's fine, that's fine—

…

…

At the foot of Micang Mountain, Huang Zhong's three thousand urgent marchers have arrived here.

The march before this included land and water routes. Even the mountain roads had traces to follow... easy to pass... Of course, even so, the fifteen-day journey was surprisingly completed by Huang Zhong in five days!

Every soldier... is already looking like a dog from exhaustion!

but…

Starting from the Micang Mountain in front of me, I feel tired... to no avail! Because there are no mountain roads here, no traces to follow, everything... must be explored and climbed by oneself.

The speed... is expected to drop quite a bit.

General? What is this?

A group of disciples of the Five Dou Rice Sect were originally monitoring Huang Zhong and his party, and reported the information here to Hanzhong...

But now, they were escorted to Huang Zhong as prisoners.

In fact, these Five Pecks of Rice Cult's detective horses were easily discovered.

Because Huang Zhong ran too fast, and most of his brave soldiers were brothers from Jingnan. Jingnan was very mountainous, and when he was fighting against rebels, he often had to rush through the mountains!

It can be said that he is walking like the wind and has rich experience...

On the other hand, these disciples of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect are not soldiers at all, so they have never received such training in rushing in the mountains.

Before the information was sent out, Huang Zhong was already defeated, and with a little trick... he captured them alive easily!

On the other hand, Huang Zhong was still looking at the majestic and steep Micang Mountain. It wasn't until the prisoner made this sound... that his eyes slowly lowered from the vast mountains.

He did not speak in a hurry, but squinted his eyes and looked at the Taoist prisoners of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect in front of him.

Being looked at inexplicably, the prisoners' eyes showed fear and worry. One of them mustered up the courage to ask: General...you...why did you escort us here?

You have all been requisitioned—— Huang Zhong narrowed his eyes and blurted out one sentence.

ah…

These prisoners were startled, and then...you looked at me, and I looked at you, looking like monk Zhang Er was confused.

I heard that you all live in Ziyang County. My lord was afraid that you would be captured... and bring disaster to your family, so he took Ziyang County along the way...

this…

Now, these prisoners understood and dared to say... The old general in front of them was threatening them with their children from Ziyang County.

Can…

For a moment, these Taoists looked at each other again, but their eyes were confused, as if they were panicked, as if they had become headless flies, not knowing where to go.

Speaking of which...if we judge from the maps of later generations, Micang Mountain is on the border of Shaanxi, Gansu, and Sichuan, bordering Motianling to the west and Daba Mountain to the east.

Micang Mountain is also the watershed between the Han River and the Jialing River...

In a broad sense, it, like Dingjun Mountain, is a section of the Bashan Mountains. But in a narrow sense, Ziyang County divides Daba Mountain and Micang Mountain into two parts. The west is called Micang Mountain, and the east is called Daba Mountain in a narrow sense. Bashan!

Therefore, these prisoners from Ziyang County are most likely familiar with the terrain of Micang Mountain and can serve as guides.

Take us over Micang Mountain! Huang Zhong made his request again.

But, this time the tone is more serious?

What are you doing over there? A Taoist asked this question without knowing where he got the courage.

After we get over it, we will naturally capture Dingjun Mountain, then capture Hanzhong and defeat Wei Wei... Huang Zhong did not hide anything and told the truth.

this…

It seems that these words frightened these prisoners a little.

They all shook their heads.

Give it to them! Huang Zhong waved his hand, and Lieutenant General Yan Yan quickly ordered the soldiers to take out a letter and token and present it to the prisoners.

These prisoners were curious at first, and then after looking carefully, they realized that this was actually a letter from the family.

It turned out that Ziyang County was really captured by Liu Bei and Fazheng's rear army.

Not just Ziyang County... Liu Bei captured all the cities and counties he passed through from Micang Road, and he would show kindness to the people. Then... Fa Zheng naturally asked the people here if any of their family members were serving as soldiers in Wei ? If so, write a letter home.

This is the method used by Liu Bei's army when they ventured across Micang Mountain in The Legend of Yunbie...

Undoubtedly, Fazheng practiced it very well with Wancheng. He told the people in Ziyang County that if they had the opportunity to meet their family members who were in the rebellion against the Wei army, he would give them this family letter to reassure them and also Advise them to stop fighting and go home! The Chinese New Year is just around the corner! Go home and reunite!

Sure enough...these letters produced the desired effect——

When he learned the detailed list of Huang Zhong's prisoners, Fazheng immediately sent someone to deliver these corresponding letters...

Woo...

Woooo...

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Immediately, some prisoners began to cry bitterly after seeing the handwritten letters from their family members... and some couldn't help calling out.

mother…

daughter in law…

My... swaddled baby...

Seeing that time was almost up, Huang Zhong yelled: I understand you, you joined the Five Dou Rice Cult to survive and not to be bullied, but what's the use of working hard for Ni Wei? Go home...accompany my mother, mother-in-law, Sons and daughters... whether it's farming or working, we Shu Han don't charge a penny in head tax anyway... we don't need you to pay a big penny... and we distribute farmland to you? Isn't that why you work so hard for this? Haha, I don’t need to elaborate, who is Thief Cao? Who is Uncle Liu Huang? You must have heard about it, right?

It was as if, under the catalysis of that letter from home, Huang Zhong's powerful words infected them.

What's more, the emperor's uncle's decree to increase the number of children and abolish the poll tax...

It was passed down...it was widely circulated throughout Dongxi Sichuan!

Especially Hanzhong, in their word of mouth...

The people in this corner of Shu... who originally didn't dare to give birth now dare to give birth——

I was once forced to work as a sharecropper to avoid taxes, and now I am completely free——

Those who did not have land at first were gradually able to buy cheap land——

As long as you work hard, you will never starve to death in Shu, under Uncle Liu Huang...

this…

Seeing the moved expressions on everyone's cheeks, Huang Zhong raised his voice again: Is there no one willing to go home? Ah! Take us over Micang Mountain, and I will let you go home and give you land. Zhaizi... In the future, if the great man is prosperous, you will be honored for your contribution!

Ah...doesn't anyone want to go home?

There was another loud roar, and this time, someone raised their hands...

Gradually, more and more people raised their hands...

Huang Zhong's expression showed no emotion or anger, but his mood when he looked at the vast mountains was different.

He thought to himself:

——Haha, this Yunbie Zhuan is a bit interesting. It seems that Micangshan has something to play! 』

With this in mind, he loudly ordered.

Don't be stunned, draw a sketch quickly, prepare to climb over the mountain, climb over the mountain immediately——

…

…

In a cellar in Luoyang, a man and a woman were having a conversation across the room.

Their identities seem quite mysterious...

But they know each other well...

Without any pleasantries, the two got straight to the point.

When are you going to take action?

The person speaking was a female voice...

The response was a male voice: Five days from now will be the New Year's Eve! At that time... I will give that thief Cao a big gift!

Have those people been notified of the plan? But we must not imitate Uncle Dong Guo, who will be killed if things are revealed... and thousands of people will be implicated!

The notice has been given, but... there is one person whom Mr. Yun Qi cannot trust. He has warned him thousands of times to be careful about this person, but... Wei Xi, Ji Ping and the others... all trust this person!

The plan...should we postpone it...

I have a way-

…

…

At Dingjun Mountain, Xia Houyuan finally completed the gathering of troops and led eight thousand elite troops towards Micang Mountain.

Jia Xu looked at these people at Yangping Pass and couldn't help but murmur.

Why so slow?

He said this unintentionally...but Zhang He heard it from the side.

Zhang He explained for Xiahou Yuan, Assembling eight thousand elites is not an easy task... Moreover, according to General Xiahou, this is a mountainous march, and food and all supplies must be raised... so it is a bit slow, but...

Speaking of this, the sparkle in Zhang He's eyes was revealed, Once it really starts galloping, General Xiahou's speed battalion is still worthy of trust. Five hundred in three days and one thousand in six days are not in vain!

Zhang He's firm tone did not make Jia Xu any less worried.

call…

Jia Xu breathed out faintly, then shook his head and sighed: It is said that Xia Houyuan marched five hundred in three days and one thousand in six days, but if one day of advance preparation is included, the speed... would not be that fast!

Jia Xu said this...

Cao Xiu retorted: It's already very fast... No one can risk crossing mountains and ridges, right? Isn't this taking the lives of the soldiers... as a joke?

…

On Micang Mountain, Huang Zhong and his Jingnan soldiers had climbed thirty-five miles under the guidance of the captive guides.

The five soldiers in a corps were really tired and hungry. They set up a stove and prepared to cook some food...

Never thought...

Before the fire was started, Huang Zhong kicked the stove over with a bang. Didn't I tell you that only dried meat and vegetables are allowed to be used? You are not allowed to light a fire to make rice? Are you turning a deaf ear to my words? ?”

General...we...

Don't wait for the soldier to speak.

Han Sheng...forget it. Yan Yan on the side opened his mouth quickly. He winked at the group of soldiers and signaled them to continue moving forward...

Yan Yan explained to Huang Zhong: It's another five days of urgent travel, and it's over mountains and ridges... The soldiers always take dry goods and cold water to satisfy their hunger. Their stomachs can bear it, but their buttocks can't bear it either! Don't say it's them, Even my old man’s butt is in burning pain... It’s understandable that the soldiers are greedy... to eat some boiled food!”

In response to Yan Yan's words, Huang Zhong sighed Alas, and then continued to run forward quickly, saying: General Yan, you don't understand... What we hit this time is a surprise! If we only pull out the enemy's Exploring horses...but not restricting the soldiers from making smoke when cooking, the enemy will still know our location! So...

Having said this, Huang Zhong looked around at the army that was marching forward, and he said harshly, We can only let them endure it a little longer!

at this time…

Report... A soldier held a flying pigeon in his hand and unfolded a message with his other hand to report to Huang Zhong, General Huang, we just received an urgent message... The enemy army has moved. Xia Houyuan personally led the troops. Zi Xiahouheng and Xiahouba are the deputy generals... and lead an army of eight thousand to Micang Mountain!

this…

Eight thousand... Huang Zhong chanted subconsciously.

What? Yan Yan was puzzled...

Huang Zhong explained: If Xia Houyuan also brings 3,000 people, then what we have to do is to seize the top of Micang Mountain. From a high position, we will win without a doubt... But if Xia Houyuan brings 8,000 people, then we can't just seize the top of the hill. !”

you mean?

We need to completely cross over and set up an ambush at the Mianshui River surrounded by the mountain... attack it halfway across!

Ah... following Huang Zhong's words, Yan Yan exclaimed, What do you mean? We have to be faster... so fast that we can... cross Micang Mountain before Xia Houyuan arrives!

Huh... Huang Zhong took a deep breath.

He is also weighing it, but... The Legend of Yunbie has already written down the method of winning. What he has to do... is to implement it perfectly!

Even though...this is an impossible task!

Hahahaha... Huang Zhong laughed again, showing his optimistic Huang Haha side, Others can't do it, we must do it, pass on my military order, take off the armor, and only bring three days of dry food... Travel light and simple!”

This... Yan Yan was startled...

Huang Zhong said seriously, General Yan, don't forget, our opponent is Xia Houyuan, who has five hundred per day and one thousand per six day! They all look down on us two old guys, just... this is us The chance of victory! He, Xia Houyuan, would never have thought that you and I, these two old bones, could be 30% faster than him!

Despite Huang Zhong's age, this sentence was so resounding...

Yan Yan was also dissatisfied with the old man. He clenched his fists and said, Okay, this time! I'll do it too, old man! I'll outrun them to death, old man -

Following these words, Yan Yan yelled: Brothers, unload all the baggage and armor, leaving only light bows and three days of food. Before the moon rises today, climb over this mountain -
