Xiahou said that he was the third among Xiahouyuan's eight sons. He was personally brave and the best in marching and fighting. He was often taken by Xiahouyuan to practice and teach him his skills.
Xiahou said that when he saw his father being insulted by Huang Zhong, he rushed out of Yangping Pass with a knife in hand without permission.
When Huang Zhong saw this man wearing a golden helmet and golden armor, and the horse he was riding was also a good Dawan horse, he thought that instead of waiting for the real owner Xia Houyuan, a rich young man came out.
Xia Hou said that he always had a fire in his chest. When he saw Huang Zhong's disdainful expression, the fire burned even more intensely.
"Old man, at your age you should be waiting to die at home, but you still utter such arrogant words that I will let you die without a complete body." Xia Hou said with a sinister expression.
Huang Zhong was open-minded and sneered on his face: "Boy, if you are so angry, is Xiahou your father or your uncle? The battlefield is a very dangerous place. I think you should go home and nurse."
Xia Houcheng was furious: "Shut up, old man, you dare to insult my father with such arrogant words. Today I will capture you, old thief, alive, and then take you to death in front of my father."
Huang Zhong was greatly moved when he heard this. Although the old one was not lured out, the younger one came unexpectedly. Wouldn't it be a great achievement if he could be captured alive?
Xia Hou said that his horse was galloping and he was coming in a blink of an eye. Huang Zhong patted his horse to meet him without any hesitation. Xia Hou said that he raised his sword and slashed with all his strength from above.
Huang Zhong was proficient in bows and arrows and had a sharp eye. From the strength and speed of the opponent's slashes, he quickly judged the level of Xia Houcheng's force. Although it was a bit stronger than Xu Wei yesterday, it was still only second-rate.
Huang Zhong used the back of the knife to face the direction of the landing of the knife and easily picked it. Although the force of the move was not great, the angle was very strange, which just relieved most of Xia Houcheng's strength.
Xia Houcheng was so shocked that he was sweating. He thought that this old guy was really not simple and he had to pay attention to the enemy in front of him.
Xia Houyuan on the city wall also widened his eyes. Huang Zhong's careless sword pick just now must be used by someone with superb sword skills. He couldn't help but start to worry about his son.
Zhang He, who was watching the battle, also realized something was wrong. Huang Zhong showed greater strength than Wei Yan yesterday. It was hard for him to believe that Liu Bei's army was full of such fierce men.
"Huang Zhong seems to be difficult to deal with. The general has excellent archery skills. Why not secretly help the young general?" Zhang He suggested.
Xia Houyuan shook his head and replied: "I am the commander-in-chief of the three armies. If I kill that old man with a hidden arrow, what will the generals think of me?"
"The general is just a father at this time, and the soldiers will understand your difficulties." Zhang He comforted.
After a brief hesitation, Xia Houyuan finally made up his mind.
"Bring me my bow and arrows."
Huang Zhong and Xia Houcheng had already fought for five rounds in the city. If he had killed the enemy, Huang Zhong would have been able to put away his sword, but it would take some effort to capture the opponent alive. After several rounds of observation, he saw Xia Houcheng's flaw.
Xia Hou said that Huang Zhong parried his continuous chops. He raised his sword in excitement and rushed forward again. Huang Zhong, who was coming towards him, held the sword in a strange manner.
Xia Houcheng's broadsword was slashing in the air, and its momentum was like a huge wave hitting his face. Huang Zhong held the horse's neck with one hand and dodged to the side, taking advantage of the situation to push the opponent's waist with the handle of the knife.
Although Xia Houcheng's Mingguang Armor was strong, due to the production technology and level at that time, only the chest and back area had a whole iron plate to protect vital parts. The waist area where Huang Zhong stabbed with the handle of the knife was relatively weak in defense, and Huang Zhong was attached to it.
The force of the attack was so strong that Xia Hou said the pain caused his eyes to turn white.
Xiahou said that because he was young and had less fat on his waist, his internal organs were not as strong as middle-aged generals in resisting blows.
When Xiahou's kidneys were struck and his body tilted forward unconsciously, Huang Zhong was like a nimble boy, stretching out his ape arms to grab the opponent's back armor.
Xiahou said that he was frightened and weightless and fell off the horse. He was like a lamb when Huang Zhong grabbed his back and carried him away.
Just when Huang Zhong Chunfeng was proud of his success in capturing him alive, Xia Houyuan's cold arrow flew towards him like a shooting star chasing the moon.
The reason why Xia Houyuan was so unscrupulous was that in addition to his own ability to pierce a poplar with a hundred steps, he also relied on the Mingguang Armor that Cao Cao rewarded Xia Houchen.
Huang Zhong is also a good archer with an ape-like arm, and his sensitivity to bows and arrows is far better than that of ordinary people.
In the midst of lightning and flint, Huang Zhong lifted the weightless Xia Houcheng to block the arrow.
I don't know whether Xia Houyuan's archery skills were really exquisite, or whether his son Xia Houcheng was particularly unlucky, and the spike arrow hit Xia Houcheng's throat impartially.
Xia Houcheng's blood spurted out from his mouth as if he was nauseated. Huang Zhong felt that the tight body in his hands suddenly relaxed, and Xiahoucheng's throat was blocked by his father's arrow.
"Welcome your son."
Xia Houyuan was so excited that he almost fell off the city wall. Zhang He and several of his followers struggled to hold him back.
Huang Zhong threw Xia Houcheng's body on the horse, and then taunted Xia Houyuan: "General Xiahou is good at archery, but it is shameless to shoot cold arrows regardless of his face. Fortunately, your son blocked the arrow for me. Do you still want this body? If you don't, I will throw it away."
Went to the mountains to feed the wild animals."
"Huang Zhong, I swear to kill you."
Xia Houyuan, who lost his son, his eyes were blood red and his voice was hoarse. At this moment, he finally understood Xu Huang's mood yesterday. Faced with Huang Zhong's ridicule, he lost control like an angry bull.
"General, the overall situation of Hanzhong is our top priority, don't fall for Huang Zhong's deception." Zhang He held him down with force.
"Come down if you want revenge. My sword hasn't drank blood for a long time." Huang Zhong continued to anger Xia Houyuan.
Zhang He stuck his head out and shouted angrily: "Old Huang Zhong, don't try to provoke the generals. If you have the ability, come and attack the city. Don't use your words."
When Huang Zhong saw someone blocking him, he spread his hands and said, "Forget it if you don't dare to come and pick it up. Sooner or later, I will reunite your father and son."
When everyone saw that Huang Zhong had returned to the camp victoriously, they all congratulated him, repeating words of praise such as "You will be stronger when you are old" and "Not as bad as before".
Huang Zhong threw Xia Houchen's body in front of Liu Bei and said with a hint of regret: "If it hadn't been for Xia Houyuan's "righteousness to kill relatives", I would have captured his son alive to sacrifice to my lord. Now there is only one corpse left..."
Liu Bei smiled and encouraged: "As long as you come back victorious, it doesn't matter whether you have any prisoners or not."
"My lord, if you use Xiahou's body as a threat, will Xiahouyuan use Yangpingguan in exchange?" Wei Yan asked curiously.
Before Liu Bei could answer, Pang Tong laughed, "Chang Wen thinks too simply. Even if Xia Houyuan's biological father is still alive, he may not trade Yang Pingguan for it, let alone a dead Xia Houcheng?"
"What should we do with it? Leave it in the mountains to feed the wolves?" Wei Yan asked tentatively.
Everyone looked at Liu Bei at this time. Liu Bei shook his head slightly and said: "I fought the decisive battle with the Cao thief openly. Although I am hostile to Xia Houyuan now, there is no need to insult his son's body, so I buried him at the foot of the mountain southwest of the camp.
Surrounded by green hills, this place is often accompanied by the singing of birds, and it is also a good burial ground.”
"My Lord is merciful." Everyone shouted in unison.
Xia Houyuan and Xu Huang suffered the pain of losing their sons one after another. No matter who Liu Bei sent to Yangping Pass to challenge the battle, it was of no avail. Guo Huai, who was responsible for the defense, ignored the shouts and curses and pretended that the city was right in front of him and you could attack if you wanted.
