For Xiahou Dun, he seemed to have a relatively high level of luck, because what came was not the Qiao cavalry, but the Baishi Qiang.
Luck on the battlefield is actually hard to say sometimes.
Xiahou Dun's luck was Bai Shiqiang's misfortune.
The leader of Baishi Qiang looked at Cao Jun's soldiers and his expression was not very good.
He received the news when Cao Jun was attacking, and came in a hurry. He originally thought it was a small force of Cao Jun, but he didn't expect that the person he bumped into was Xiahou Dun.
Among the Hu people who do not have good basic education and no cultural heritage, it is quite normal for misunderstandings to be caused by unclear expressions.
Before I came, I could still shirk it, but after I came, it was hard to leave.
The leader of the Baishi Qiang still needs to maintain his authority as a leader, otherwise he will run away before a fight when they meet. What is that? If he loses even this bit of courage, who will listen to him in the future? Really
They wanted to fight, but the Baishi Qiang leader had no confidence in his heart.
Speaking of which, it was still the fault of the Baishi Qiang leader. He placed the supply transfer base too close to Erhu Village in Jinyang.
He was a little carried away because of the recent success.
It's more troublesome now.
Erhu Village still has a lot of supplies that have not been moved away, so if it is given up, Bai Shiqiang will not only lose men and horses, but also a lot of supplies, but it will really have to fight against the elite of Cao's army...
Moreover, in Erhu Village, there were some garrison warriors of the Baishi Qiang leader. It was the stubborn resistance of these warriors that made Xiahou Dun's advance unsmooth. If the Baishi Qiang leader just left these warriors alone, next time
Who else would sacrifice their life for him?
After thinking about it, the leader of Baishi Qiang made up his mind. While he sent people to ask for help, he also prepared to launch a tentative attack on Xiahou Dun, at least to rescue the people in Erhu Village.
Because of Xiahou Dun's hesitation in attacking, a small half of the area in Erhuan Village could not be cleared.
Outside Erhu Village, Xiahou Dun's infantry array turned to face Baishi Qiang's reinforcements. Although they were not strong enough to resist the horses, they had spears and large shields like a forest and a wall, which should not be underestimated. Behind the shield wall and the forest of spears, there were
The cavalry squad led by Xiahou Dun also had excellent armor and weapons.
If Bai Shiqiang wanted to save people and grab goods, he either had to break through Xiahou Dun's front line head-on, or he could only take a detour and drill into the ravine and enter Erhuan Village from the ravine trail below the plateau.
The leader of Baishi Qiang had a headache.
Xiahou Dun also had a headache.
If Xiahou Dun's troops were mainly cavalry, they would surely have taken advantage of Baishi Qiang's unsteady foothold to launch a charge.
But the problem is that Xiahou Dun's cavalry troops are not many, and half of the horses were only obtained after entering Jinyang, so the cooperation between the men and horses cannot be said to be a tacit understanding.
In addition to the problem of cavalry, Xiahou Dun did not dare to stay outside Jinyang for too long.
Although there are many Cao Jun military schools and soldiers in Jinyang City, and the city defense and garrison are all under the control of Cao Jun, Xiahou Dun is not completely relieved. If the war really drags on for a long time, there may be problems within Jinyang.
The most serious problem is that Xiahou Dun doesn't know if there are any hussars coming behind Bai Shiqiang...
When the generals on both sides had their own worries, both sides forced themselves into an attitude of "What are you looking at?" and "What are you looking at?" and formed their formations. People are here, but their hearts are elsewhere, and the battle is about to begin.
In front of you, but the key factor that determines the outcome of the battle is outside the field.
…
…
In Jinyang City.
Human hearts have their own similarities and differences.
Greed for life and fear of death, or in other words, desire for life, are common to most people.
In the flower hall in the backyard of Cui's mansion, Cui Jun sat silently, his face gloomy.
The flower hall is very luxurious, even the doors and windows are decorated with fine carvings. The gourds, bats, peaches and other patterns that imply good luck and wealth together outline Cui's expectations and vision for her future, but it is obvious that she did not know that she was a servant.
Either because I was lazy and didn't clean it in time, or for some other reason, there was obviously a layer of dust on these patterns.
Cui Jun was wearing a simple gray cloth robe, without a crown, with his hair disheveled. He sat quietly, his eyes a little dull. There was a table next to him, with a bowl of tea placed on it. He didn't know how long it had been there.
, there has long been no heat at all.
There was not even a single servant around the flower hall.
Everyone knows that the Cui family is going to be in bad luck. Apart from the family members who are all tied to the Cui family, who else will continue to stay in the Cui family's house? Even if the family members are children, now for Cui Jun's family
The decision is also full of criticism.
Cui Jun wanted to escape, but how could Xiahou Dun be willing?
For Cui Jun, he has lost all honor and dignity now, and there may not be any good fruits in the future if he stays in Jinyang. He might as well go to Shandong as soon as possible. However, Xiahou Dun obstructed him in every possible way and made various excuses, making it clear that he did not trust Cui Jun.
Now when he thinks that his family is already in this situation and has not yet gained the trust of Xiahou Dun, Cui Jun is really heartbroken. Even though he usually boasts of having thousands of strategies, now his head feels like it has fallen into the depths of a quagmire.
The seven orifices are blocked and cannot function properly.
For Xiahou Dun, distrusting Cui Jun was naturally the most correct choice. No matter what Fei Qian said, how could Xiahou Dun open his back to Cui Jun? If he wanted to leave, he would go with him. If he wanted to die, he would drag Cui on his back.
This is what maximizes Xiahou Dun's interests, and how can it be possible for Cui to leave Jinyang easily? If anything happens, Xiahou Dun is here to prove it, and Cui Jun escapes, wouldn't it?
Xiahou Dun became Cui's stepping stone?
Now, Mrs. Cui wants to leave, but she can't. She wants to avoid it, but she can't.
Cui Jun sat in silence for an unknown amount of time before he heard some footsteps coming from the corridor outside the flower hall.
Cui Hou came in sweating profusely. He looked up and saw Cui Jun sitting motionless with a pale face. He couldn't help but feel a little more angry in his heart. He swallowed the original greeting and sat directly next to Cui Jun.
He reached out and picked up the tea bowl on the table. As soon as he took a sip, he spat it out with a pop, "When was this tea?! It's all broken!"
"Yesterday's tea, I drank it this morning; the mistakes I made in the past are so sad now." Cui Jun closed his eyes and said slowly, "The fragrance of the tea is as fresh as yesterday. If you sip it today, the taste will be mellow; after that,
The mistakes I made are just like the mistakes of the past. I think about them now and regret them in my heart..."
Cui Hou held the tea bowl, looked at the tea soup, and then looked at Cui Jun.
"Life is short, like a fleeting moment, and time flies by, like running water." Cui Jun shook his head, "What happened yesterday is no longer today; what you did in the past is now ancient..."
"Brother?" Cui Hou's eyes widened, "Brother, are you okay?"
Nowadays, as a businessman, Cui Hou is even more generous. He has been running around outside all these days, and his face is not as important as his life. Of course, if he loses his money, it is better to kill Cui Hou.
Now that he can see clearly, the spirit of traveling all over the country has returned to Cui Hou. Knowing that there is no benefit in worrying about gains and losses, he simply concentrates on selling and transferring assets. On the contrary, he can eat and sleep more soundly than Cui Jun.
Cui Jun raised his head and glanced at Cui Hou, stopped talking, and looked away again, not knowing whether he was thinking or not thinking at all...
Cui Hou knew that he had asked a stupid question, so he simply ignored it, threw away the tea bowl, and cursed: "Those damn bastards, I even gave them a 30% discount, but these guys still refuse to take it!"
As Mr. Cui prepares to leave Taiyuan, the physical properties originally purchased in Taiyuan will naturally need to be sold at a low price.
But the problem is, no one wants to take over.
Others are not fools. They know that Cui's industry at this time is a hot potato, and whoever takes over will be unlucky.
"Don't say anything, it's just a free gift, and no one dares to take it..." Cui Jun sighed, "Well, it's better to just give it away..."
"Giving it to you for free?" The flesh on Cui Hou's face twitched, and he was obviously very distressed, but after a moment he had to ask, "Brother, who are you giving this to?"
"Wang's daughter..." Cui Jun whispered, obviously he felt equally distressed about giving away assets for nothing.
"Hiss..." Cui Hou understood somewhat, but was still a little confused. After thinking about it for a while, he asked, "Brother, this Wang's daughter is not in Jinyang..."
"You can only send it out if you are not in Jinyang!" Cui Jun sighed, "Who would have thought that Cui's current situation...sigh!"
Cui Hou frowned and said, "But no one from the Wang family dares to accept this..."
Cui Jun waved his hand and said, "Have you forgotten? The title deed of this householder is kept here..."
Cui Hou was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Brother means..."
"Just do it if you understand it!" Cui Jun sighed, and then his face became a little distorted, "The knight has ruined my reputation, how can I...how can I let him do what he wants?!"
Cui Hou was stunned for a moment, and finally responded with a sigh of relief.
Originally, I thought I could make a little profit, or at least reduce some losses, but now it seems that all industrial assets must be thrown away...
This is the reason why many loyal and conscientious entrepreneurs in later feudal dynasties are unwilling to make their industries bigger and stronger. After all, industrial assets cannot follow people, and lightweight industries such as the financial Internet are more suitable.
People who have some plans in mind are already playing it. Anyway, when the situation is not right, they can take the account with them as soon as they put it in their belt. How much of the remaining office assets are accounted for?
Cui Hou turned around and went out, but not long after, he hurried back and said with a strange expression: "Brother, I heard that General Xiahou was trapped..."
Cui Jun was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground, "What?!"
The Cui family is almost symbiotic with Xiahoudun now... Well, maybe parasitism is more suitable, but no matter which one it is, if Xiahoudun collapses, the Cui family will definitely not have any good fruits to eat.
Therefore, after hearing the "bad news" about Xiahou Dun, Cui Jun also "gone pale" and grabbed Cui Hou to question.
Cui Hou said that he overheard the news when he went out to the official residence to handle the "transfer" of the land title.
"Erhoo Village..." Cui Jun thought, then suddenly his eyes flashed, he grabbed Cui Hou and said, "Who is stationed in the city? Xiahou Chang?"
Cui Hou was at a loss as to what Cui Jun meant and nodded.
"God help me!" Cui Jun clapped his hands and immediately said excitedly, "Go and clean it up quickly... No, you can't clean it up..."
Cui Hou failed to keep up with Cui Jun's rhythm, and still looked at Cui Jun with some worry, "Brother, what are you..."
"This is a God-given opportunity!" Cui Jun grabbed Cui Hou's arm, "Whether you and I can escape depends on this time!"
"Escape...escape?" Cui Hou obviously wanted to leave Jinyang, but he failed to understand how to escape and why Cui Jun said it was a good opportunity.
After Cui Jun expressed his intention to move to Shandong, Xiahou Dun expressed some approval, but he was not willing for Cui Jun to leave just like that. It was not that Cui Jun was insincere when he swore, or that he described his love for Shandong
Xiahou Dun's desire for freedom and Panzi were not urgent enough, but Xiahou Dun felt that he needed Cui, and being able to take Cui with him when he left was already an extra favor to Cui.
Therefore, after Cui Jun made the point, Cui Hou obviously understood that now was indeed the best opportunity.
The reason why Xiahou Dun went to war was because Xiahou Cheng was a "waste", or in other words, he was close to being a "waste". During the last external battle, Xiahou Dun was not only injured physically, but also mentally. Otherwise, Xiahou Dun would not have been able to fight.
As for dealing with a Qiang Hu, you have to go there yourself...
This also represents Xiahou Dun’s expectation or love for Xiahou Chang?
Of course, all Xiahou Dun's arrangements for Xia Houcheng have nothing to do with Cui Jun. What Cui Jun wants to do now is to seize the opportunity when Xiahou Dun is blocked and quickly escape from the "fire pit" of Jinyang.
Cui Jun has realized that his surrender to Xiahou Dun was a serious mistake, but now that he has come to this step, how can he turn back? If Run goes to Shandong, he can at least rely on his reputation and existing wealth to survive in a few days.
As a rich man, if I still stay here, is it possible that I will be hung on the road... um, on the road sign?
"I'll go get ready..."
"No!" Cui Jun pulled Cui Hou tightly, "We can't take everyone away..."
Cui Hou was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened, "Brother, you, you...this..."
"A true man! If you cut it off, cut it off!" Cui Jun gritted his teeth and said, "Apart from the guards, I only bring..."
Cui Jun's voice became smaller and smaller as he spoke, and Cui Hou's little eyes grew bigger and bigger.
"Brother...this..." Cui Hou was obviously reluctant to give up, "this...this..."
"Stop this and that!" Cui Jun interrupted Cui Hou, "If you can't seize this opportunity, you and I will wait here to die! By then, the whole family will die here, and no one will be able to leave.
Take off! I will go find Captain Xiahou now. If he agrees, I will set off immediately!"
Xiahou Cheng hung one arm and was very worried.
He didn’t expect the Qiang Hu in Taiyuan to be so courageous!
Of course, Xiahou Dun also didn't expect it.
Before going into battle, Xiahou Dun also analyzed the risks and said that there were risks, but not high. After all, the main force of Fei Qian was led by Cao Cao in the Anyi area of Pingyang, and there were not many troops in Taiyuan. Xiahou Dun quickly went out and returned quickly, waiting for the Hussars to collect
When the news arrived, the battle was probably over, and even coming here would be of no use. In this way, Xiahou Dun could cheer up internally, establish his authority externally, and attack those pesky Qiang and Hus, all at once.
But who would have thought that now it seems that we are going to lose in one fell swoop...
Xiahou Cheng didn't believe what those Qiang and Hu could do to Xiahou Dun, but...
What if?
But even so, Xiahou Cheng was still unable to lead the army into battle to rescue Xiahou Dun. This is not to say that Xiahou Cheng was gloating about his misfortune or had any bad intentions, but it was absolutely impossible for him to let go of the defense of Jinyang...
Jinyang came from Xiahou in a sneak attack, so how could they not guard against a sneak attack by others?
It was under such circumstances that Cui Jun took the initiative to ask for help, saying that he could lead a team of troops to attack the Qiang and Hu and help Xiahou Dun.
At this moment, Cui Jun had already put on a set of formal clothes and wore a Jinxian crown on his head. He was gentle and elegant, and his manners were generous.
"Are you going to rescue me?" Xiahou Cheng sneered, obviously not believing it.
Not only do they not believe in Cui Jun's military power, they also do not believe in Cui Jun's loyalty.
"Xiahou Xiaowei, although he is not talented, he knows a little bit about military affairs..." Cui Jun said slowly, "Qiang and Hu are now besieging the general. They are just cruising on their horses, making it difficult for the general to advance or retreat. There is no way it will cause any harm."
General...I just thought...since the entire Qiang and Hu army has been dispatched to besiege the general, isn't the Qiang and Hu royal court...empty?"
Xia Houcheng's eyes suddenly lit up.
It can be said that the Baishi Qiang are just a relatively large tribe and cannot be considered a "royal court" at all. Cui Jun's words are naturally exaggerated and tempting.
"If someone can lead an army and attack the Qiang and Hu royal court... firstly, he can seize his war horses; secondly, he can break the siege of the general; thirdly, the Qianghu will be defeated, and the surrounding area of Jinyang will be stable and worry-free..." Cui Jun was very worried.
He said sincerely, "If the captain doesn't trust me, I can keep my family in the city as a pledge... Or, if the captain goes out to destroy the Qiang and Hu royal court, I can stay in the city? This is a golden opportunity. If you miss it, you will regret it."
.』
"This..." Xia Houcheng is indeed a little moved. His intelligence is not high to begin with, but after Cui Jun's repeated comments, he is a little tempted. In any case, if he can get some war horses, whether he attacks or retreats in the future, he will obviously be more interested.
Take it easy.
But he went out to fight and handed over the defense of Jinyang City to the Cui family...
Xia Houcheng glanced sideways at Cui Jun.
How can this be?
What if Xia Houcheng also goes out, and then the Cui family will close the four gates of Jinyang and cause chaos on the spot...
It's better to let Cui Jun lead his private soldiers to attack the Qiang and Hu royal court. Even if they really can't defeat the Qiang and Hu, they can still disturb the Qiang and Hu, allowing Xiahou Dun to retreat smoothly, and in addition, it can reduce Cui's strength.
, more convenient for subsequent control.
Xia Houcheng secretly gave a thumbs up in his heart for his cleverness.
"Hahaha!" Xia Houcheng laughed, trying to be as kind as possible, "Since Cui Shijun has the intention to repay this, I can't stop him... But this sword and gun have no eyes, so you still have to be careful...
…Someone is coming!』
Xia Houcheng called his guards and separated out a group of people. He said that as Cui Jun's guards, he told these guards to ensure Cui Jun's safety and not let Cui Jun suffer any harm.
Cui Jun burst into tears of gratitude on the surface, but sneered in his heart.
"You will certainly live up to the captain's expectations!"
