Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan went to the western front to meet with Xia Houyuan. Xia Houyuan told Ma Xiaoquan that he was now preparing to destroy Han Sui. After receiving the news, Han Sui urgently discussed countermeasures. At this moment, Lu Xian appeared as "Lu Daxian"
Enter Han Sui's tent...
Han Sui ducked back in alarm, and several lieutenants around him also drew their swords and faced Lu Xian.
Lu Xian waved his hand and said hehe: "General Han is too worried. I have no ill intentions in coming here. On the contrary, I am here to give you some advice."
"Guide me?" Han Sui was stunned for a moment and said with a smile, "What can you give me?"
Lu Xian laughed and said: "I will guide you to successfully avoid Xia Houyuan's pursuit!"
"What?" Han Sui was a little surprised. Although Xia Houyuan's pursuit of him was not something that was hidden from others, the man in white robes in front of him did not look like someone who knew about it in advance.
"Tell me first, how do you give me advice?"
The corners of Lu Xian's lips raised slightly and he said: "This matter is a bit complicated. If the general can trust me, I will tell you again!"
"This..." Han Sui hesitated.
Han Sui was very aware of his current situation. Compared with before, his current situation could be described as terrible. Not only had his number of troops shrunk by more than half, but even the base areas were constantly changing, making him want to fight with several people.
The young concubine was trembling every time she was intimate with her.
"You tell me first, and we'll discuss it later." Han Sui still refused to believe Lu Xian's words, and bargained with Lu Xian.
Lu Xian smiled, shook his head and said: "Well, I will analyze it for you..." Lu Xian said, casually took a small stool, sat down with a sword and a golden horse, and slowly
Let Han Sui analyze it.
Mr. Lu spoke very quickly, but every word was clear. At first, Han Sui listened a little casually, but as he went on, Han Sui became more frightened, especially when the man in front of him named "Lu Daxian" said that Cao Cao should do the next step.
The story of conquering Sun Quan felt very real to Han Sui's ears.
After burning incense for about a while, Mr. Lu finished his words.
At this time, Han Sui no longer had the previous indifference. He personally stepped down from the main seat, poured a cup of hot tea for Lu Xian, held it respectfully in front of Lu Xian, and said: "Great Immortal Lu, little one.
You are blind, come and have some tea."
Lu Xian enjoyed Han Sui's act of pouring tea for him, and also enjoyed the pleasure of conquering Han Sui with just a few words. However, he knew that if Han Sui hadn't been ill and rushed to the doctor, he might not have been able to convince Han Sui so easily.
Then.
Lu Xian stood up, took the tea cup politely, and said: "General Han is so polite, come on, let's sit together, sit together, and chat slowly..."
Han Sui had no intention of chatting slowly. Xia Houyuan was not far away right now, and he might call at some point.
Han Sui said: "Lu Daxian, don't talk slowly, just say what you have to say directly. I, Han Sui, have already listened to you."
Lu Xian nodded: "Okay, then I'll say it!"
...
While Lu Xian was advising Han Sui, Xia Houyuan was leading his troops to harvest military supplies.
Since Han Sui had run away after hearing the news before, Xia Houyuan was not too anxious to collect the grain. Xia Houyuan believed that Han Sui did not even have the courage to fight with him, so he must be afraid of him.
Xia Houyuan thinks so, but Ma Xiaoquan doesn't think so. Ma Xiaoquan has been feeling uneasy lately. He always feels that something is going to happen, but he can't say what it is.
At night, Xia Houyuan and Ma Xiaoquan discussed the next battle plan.
Xia Houyuan said: "Master Shangxian, if we harvest for another three days, we will have finished harvesting..."
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and said: "Can't you collect all the calligraphy of the wonderful talent Xia Houyuan in one day? I suggest you collect them quickly."
Xia Houyuan said: "Master Shangxian, we can finish the harvest in one day, but the food belongs to us, and that old guy Han Sui has escaped far away, so why do we need to finish the harvest in one day?"
Ma Xiaoquan said: "I always have an unknown premonition, but I can't say what the afterlife will be like..."
Xia Houyuan said with a smile: "Master Shangxian, you are too worried this time, haha... don't worry, there is absolutely no problem."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled bitterly and said, "Okay."
...
On the evening of the third day, the tired soldiers of Cao's army were setting fire to cook. Suddenly, Tan Ma came to report that an enemy vanguard had appeared twenty miles ahead.
Xia Houyuan was shocked. He hadn't eaten yet, so why did he get such bad news?
"What? Enemy troops? Who are they?"
Tan Ma said: "It's Han Sui! General, please give the order as soon as possible."
Xia Houyuan nodded, stood up and hurriedly made arrangements, but as for dinner...it seemed like there was no chance.
Han Sui was born in the Northwest Army and was good at commanding cavalry. After talking with Lu Daxian at night last night, Lu Daxian told Han Sui that Xia Houyuan should be harvesting autumn grain at this time.
Lu Daxian's suggestion was to scare Xia Houyuan while he was leading his troops to harvest autumn grain, and then steal the grain from Xia Houyuan.
Han Sui agreed.
However, there must be a way to scare, otherwise Xia Houyuan's ability in both civil and military affairs may not be so easy to succeed.
Lu Daxian's suggestion to Han Sui was to start with several small cavalry teams, tie a tree branch behind each person, and let the cavalry pull the tree branch and run wildly. This would look like a big army from a distance.
.
Han Sui was overjoyed and immediately sent out three squads, each with twenty cavalry, each tied to a big tree branch behind his horse, and immediately set off in the direction of Xiahou Yuan.
Han Sui's main force, on the other hand, kept a distance of ten miles from the forward army and waited for opportunities.
Xia Houyuan didn't know the strategy discussed by Han Sui and Lu Xian. Ma Xiaoquan didn't even know where Lu Xian was. This "how-to" strategy successfully attracted Xia Houyuan's attention.
Although Xiahou Yuan's order had been issued and Cao's troops moved quickly enough, chaos would inevitably occur.
Xia Houyuan is also a veteran who has been fighting for many years. If Han Sui's main force catches him in this state, he may be a bit passive. Plus, he hasn't eaten dinner yet, so there is no need to fight at all.
At the speed of the cavalry, they can reach it in a blink of an eye, twenty miles away.
"Quick, quick!" Xia Houyuan was sweating profusely and shouted, waving the spear in his hand. At this moment, he regretted it very much. He should have listened to the words of the Immortal.
"Hey!" Xia Houyuan sighed while giving the order.
Beside him, Ma Xiaoquan encouraged Xia Houyuan and said, "Wonderful talent, don't panic. With Han Sui's strength, he can't even open his jaw. Why are you afraid of him?"
Xia Houyuan smiled bitterly and said, "Even so, Master Shangxian, I really regret it."
While he was depressed, Tan Ma suddenly came to report again, saying that Xingguo had been captured by Han Sui.
"What?" Xia Houyuan was startled.
The Tanma rolled his eyes slightly a few times, and then retreated into the army...
This Tanma was actually Han Sui's man, and the Tanma originally sent by Xia Houyuan had already been secretly killed by Lu Xian's shadow guards.
The road from Xingguo to Chang'an is relatively easy. Although Han Sui's current strength cannot pose a big threat to Chang'an after capturing Xingguo, Xingguo has food.
Even if Han Sui had no interest in rejuvenating the country, if he moved the grain away, this year's harvest would be affected.
"Send my order and go to Xingguo immediately."
...
Just as Xia Houyuan hurriedly led his troops to retreat towards the direction of Xingguo, Han Sui's army was already approaching.
The two armies were chasing and running, and the pursuers didn't seem to have the intention of killing them all. The runners also had their own goals. In this way, Han Sui's army scared away Xia Houyuan's more than 10,000 troops with a vanguard team of 60 people.
Later, Han Sui's army approached and found the rations and cooking stoves that Cao Cao's army had not yet taken away. Han Sui laughed loudly and thanked Lu Xian very much.
Lu Xian smiled slightly and said: "General Han can't stay here too long. Xia Houyuan is cunning, and I'm afraid he will see through our plan soon. The most urgent thing is that we should take away the food and grass."
Han Sui nodded solemnly and ordered his soldiers to quickly grab food.
...
Xia Houyuan, for his part, ran for an hour and suddenly felt something was wrong, so he stopped to rectify the army.
Ma Xiaoquan stepped forward and asked: "Miaocai, do you also feel that something is wrong?"
Xia Houyuan nodded: "Yes, Master Shangxian, I think it's very problematic."
Just when they realized something was wrong, Tan Ma came again to report that Han Sui's main army was robbing our army of food.
"Damn it, I was fooled!"
Xia Houyuan slapped his thigh hard, raised his spear above his head and ordered: "Follow me and kill back!"
The shouts of killing were loud and the momentum was strong enough. Cao's army ran all the way. By the time they arrived at the harvesting area, Han Sui's army had long disappeared.
Looking at the empty stack of grain in front of him, Xia Houyuan cursed: "Damn it, even the stoves where I eat are taken away. Old Han Sui, I will definitely kill you and have your head on your head!"
"Pfft", Ma Xiaoquan, who was next to Xia Houyuan, suddenly felt that his throat was sweet and he spit out a mouthful of blood.
Xia Houyuan was startled and quickly jumped off his horse to support Ma Xiaoquan.
"Lord Immortal, what's wrong with you?"
Ma Xiaoquan covered his left eye and said nothing, but he began to feel nervous in his heart.
"Yuan...are you trying to bite me back?"
"Yuan...what are you talking about? Who destroyed history?"
...
Yi called out several times, but there was no response from the source in his left eye. Ma Xiaoquan couldn't help but spit out blood again.
