In 197 AD, on the fifth day of February, the temperature began to slowly rise. The temperature difference between day and night had significantly widened. Some of the snow under the mountains began to slowly melt, and the ice on the surface also began to melt.
The entire Han Dynasty is basically stable, but in the Bashu area, the sky above Hanzhong County is filled with a layer of dark clouds, and a war is about to begin.
At the foot of Dingjun Mountain, Xiahou Dun and others have arrived and are stationed at the foot of the mountain. However, he is very careful and stays five miles away from Dingjun Mountain. Because it has been discovered that there is also a Chinese army on Tiandang Mountain. He is afraid of being attacked from both sides.
So I didn't dare to get too close.
When night fell, Cao Cao, Pang Tong, Suo Xu and others all arrived. Xiahou Dun had already set up the camp. As soon as everyone arrived, they moved in and all 30,000 troops entered the camp.
After setting up the pots to make rice, everyone had a full meal, and then Cao Cao summoned Pang Tong, Suo Xu, and Xiahou Dun to discuss the matter together.
In the large tent of the Chinese army, Cao Cao immediately said: "Dingjun Mountain and Tiandang Mountain are horns to each other. These two mountains are the barriers to Hanzhong, especially Dingjun Mountain, which is particularly important. I want to hear your opinions and take the first step."
Which mountain?”
Suo Xu had been stationed in Hanzhong for many years and knew the terrain of Hanzhong very well. He immediately said: "Tiandang Mountain is an auxiliary to Dingjun Mountain. If you occupy Tiandang Mountain, you can overlook Dingjun Mountain's Yangtian Depression and spy on the enemy's every move.
Take Tiandang Mountain first."
Xiahou Dun said: "The general has been in Hanzhong for many years and knows the terrain of Hanzhong very well. Since the general said to attack Tiandang Mountain, we will attack Tiandang Mountain. However, I want to be the vanguard."
After hearing this, Cao Cao looked at Xiahou Dun and said: "The vanguard is a partial one. It's a matter of supporting General Bi. You are a general in the army, how can you charge forward in everything?"
Xiahou Dun said unconvinced: "The vanguard is particularly important. If we lose a battle, it will inevitably affect the morale of the army. As a vanguard, I will definitely win and boost the morale of the army. Why not?"
Cao Cao frowned. Now that all the Cao family and Xiahou family were killed in the battlefield, Xiahou Dun was the only one left. He felt pity for him, for fear that if something happened to Xiahou Dun again, he would lose another arm. He said: "No.
, I will choose someone else for the position of vanguard, and you will lead the army to guard the camp."
"Your Majesty, I..."
"Don't say any more, or you will be assigned to escort the food and grass." Cao Cao said sternly.
Xiahou Dun saw that Cao Cao was angry, so he looked at Pang Tong and winked at Pang Tong.
Pang Tong understood and immediately said: "Your Majesty, the transportation of grain and grass can be dispatched by Prime Minister Xun. I think there is nothing wrong with General Xiahou as the vanguard. If an ordinary young man is the vanguard, once he encounters Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiu, it will be difficult to resist him.
, General Xiahou is extremely skilled in martial arts.
He can shoulder this important task to boost his military morale. Moreover, I also strongly recommend General Xiahou. The capture of Dingjun Mountain is entirely dependent on General Xiahou. I know that Your Majesty is worried that General Xiahou will make a mistake, but if you are timid,
It will inevitably be restrained.”
After hearing Pang Tong's words, Xiahou Dun understood why Cao Cao did not allow him to be the vanguard, and immediately knelt down and said: "Your Majesty! Yuan Rang has never had a second heart since he followed Your Majesty, and he has already put life and death aside, even if he dies in battle.
, I am also proud of this. Since then I have followed the king to
Northwest, Cao Chun, Xia Houen, Cao Ren, Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu, and Xia Houyuan died on the battlefield one after another. Your Majesty cannot ignore the most important thing for the sake of one person's life, which is the world. Your Majesty is your Majesty to the people of the world, and I am just your Majesty.
Even though I, my minister, will die with no regrets, I still hope that your majesty will fulfill my wish!"
Suo Xu also hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty, I believe that General Xiahou is extremely loyal and brave, and he is really a rare candidate for the vanguard."
Cao Cao said: "You all get up, I have my own opinions, Xiahou Yuanrang will listen to my orders!"
Xiahou Dun immediately felt joy on his face and said: "Long live your Majesty, long live, long live!"
"Xiahou Yuanrang contradicted me and angered Long Yan. I will ignore it for the time being because of his past merits. He is now demoted to the rank of captain of the Zan Army. He is responsible for escorting the transportation of grain and grass and protecting the grain road from Jiameng Pass to Dingjun Mountain." Cao Cao.
said sharply.
Xiahou was stunned for a moment. He thought Cao Cao would let him be a vanguard, but unexpectedly he demoted himself to the rank of captain of the Zan Army and asked him to escort grain and grass. What kind of thing was this? He felt angry in his stomach, but he did not dare to say anything to Cao Cao.
, accepted the order with great reluctance to thank him, then turned around and left without looking back.
Pang Tong and Suo Xu didn't quite understand. Now was the time to hire people, and Xiahou Dun was a top general in the Wei state. Why not let him be the vanguard, but let him escort the grain and grass?
Cao Cao looked at Pang Tong, took a look, and said: "Send the order, tomorrow morning, the entire army will attack Dingjun Mountain!"
Suo Xu was startled and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, Zhao Yun is stationed at Tiandang Mountain. Tiandang Mountain is particularly important. If Zhao Yun leads his troops down the mountain to attack, won't our army be attacked from both sides?"
Pang Tong didn't say anything, but he couldn't guess what Cao Cao was thinking. He agreed with Suo Xu's strategy. He first took Tiandang Mountain, then peeked at Dingjun Mountain, forcing Zhang Ren to come down from the mountain for a decisive battle. He would definitely be defeated in less than three days.
Zhang Ren.
Cao Cao sneered, a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes, and said: "You just follow my instructions. Only a thousand men and horses are left in the barracks. The rest will follow me to attack Dingjun Mountain."
Pang Tong and Suo Xu didn't understand what he meant, but they couldn't violate it, so they clasped their fists and said, "I obey the order."
Xiahou Dun returned to his tent and immediately shouted: "Bring the wine!"
The soldier ran over and said with a look of embarrassment: "General, your Majesty has just issued a ban on alcohol and sent people to collect all the alcohol..."
"Go and get it if you are told. Why is there so much nonsense? If something happens, I will bear it all alone!"
It has always been done by his side generals.
Not long after, the soldiers came in with a jar of wine. After Xiahou Dun took it, he drank the wine gloomily.
At this time, Xu Chu led the soldiers of the Tiger Guard to the outside of the tent and shouted loudly outside: "General Xiahou, I have come to fetch wine according to your majesty's imperial decree. Please bring all the wine to General Xiahou."
When Xiahou Dun heard this, he became angry and strode out of the big tent. He opened the curtain and saw Xu Chu standing outside the tent with the soldiers of the Tiger Guard, lifting the wine jar in his arms.
, said: "The wine is here, come and get it if you can!"
Xu Chu glanced at Xiahou Dun and, unlike Xiahou Dun, stretched out his hand to get the wine. Unexpectedly, Xiahou Dun took a few steps back and poured the wine into his stomach in front of Xu Chu.
"Take it!" Xu Chu's face changed color and he immediately ordered.
The soldiers of the Tiger Guard immediately surrounded Xiahou Dun and reached out to capture Xiahou Dun.
Xiahou Dun was unwilling to follow, so he immediately retreated into the big tent and sneered: "You want to capture me? You must have this ability. Your Majesty will not let me be the vanguard, let me see who can take the position of vanguard!"
Xu Chu said angrily: "Xiahou Dun, the captain of the Zan Army, your majesty has issued a ban on alcohol. No one is allowed to drink alcohol, otherwise he will be punished with a hundred military sticks. As a captain of the Zan Army and a pillar of the country, you dare to know the law and break the law. The crime will be increased to one level. Moreover,
If you still resist arrest and add guilt to crime, don't blame me for being rude."
Saying that, Xu Chu rolled up his sleeves, revealing a pair of strong arms, handed the sword to the soldiers around him, and walked into Xiahou Dun's tent with empty fists. He stood there, staring at Xiahou Dun, and asked
Said: "I ask you again, are you willing to accept punishment?"
"You have the ability to come and get me? Others are afraid of you, but I am not." Xiahou Dun smelled of alcohol and burped when he spoke.
"Then don't blame me!" As he said this, Xu Chu moved his tiger body and rushed towards Xiahou Dun.
Xiahou Dun immediately threw the wine jar in his hand and hit Xu Chu on the head.
Xu Chu didn't dodge and smashed the wine jar with his head. The remaining half of the jar of wine spilled all over Xu Chu. But Xu Chu's head was not damaged at all. He was like a flying giant bear, flying towards
Xiahou Dun rushed forward, and suddenly punched out both fists at the same time, hitting Xiahou Dun on the head.
Xiahou Dun suddenly did a backflip and hid, and then there was a muffled sound from Xu Chu's side. His feet landed directly, and the ground trembled slightly, and the ground when he landed was even more deeply shaken.
Fell in.
As soon as Xu Chu landed on the ground, Xiahou Dun rushed over and kicked Xu Chu in the chest.
Xu Chu did not dodge, but when he saw Xiahou Dun's flying kick, he suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed one of Xiahou Dun's legs, then spun around in circles, like throwing a discus, and threw Xiahou Dun out.
When the Tiger Guards outside the tent saw Xiahou Dun being thrown out by Xu Chu, they all got out of the way. Only a dull sound was heard, and Xiahou Dun fell heavily to the ground.
Xiahou Dun was thrown away by Xu Chu and made a fool of himself in public. His face became even more angry. He immediately stood up and took off his clothes. His upper body was naked, revealing his strong muscles, chest and back.
They are all colorful wounds, which are shocking to people.
"Xu Zhongkang, I want to compete with you today!" As soon as Xiahou Dun finished speaking, he directly held a pair of iron fists and struck Xu Chu.
Seeing that Xiahou Dun was angry, Xu Chu knew that the real attack had just begun, but he still refused to dodge. Whenever Xiahou Dun attacked with his fists, he could always resist it with his heavy and strong body, and his arms were like a pair of fists.
Like an iron wall, it received several attacks from Xiahou Dun.
"Bang bang bang..."
The two kept fighting, Xiahou Dun was on the offensive side, and Xu Chu was on the defensive. However, Xiahou Dun was faster and his punches were fast. Xu Chu did not block several punches and landed directly on him. However, only Xiahou Dun knew that although his fists landed
It hit Xu Chu's body, but it was like hitting a steel plate. Not only did it not cause any harm to Xu Chu, it actually hurt his own fist, and the skin was broken in many places.
