Chapter 404 3 Kingdoms: Why is Xiahou Mao so confident?



Chapter 404 3 Kingdoms: Why is Xiahou Mao so confident?

[Zhuge Liang led an army of more than 300,000 out of Hanzhong, with Zhao Yun and Deng Zhi as the vanguard, to march north.

Xiahou Yuan's son and consort Xiahou Mao volunteered to lead troops to meet the enemy in order to avenge his father's death.

Wang Lang thought that Xiahou Mao had never led troops and was not suitable to go.

Xiahou Mao asked Wang Lang bluntly, "Is it possible that Wang Lang was colluding with Zhuge Liang?" Wang Lang was speechless.

"I have learned military strategy from my father since I was young... How dare you look down on me... If you don't capture Zhuge Liang alive, I will not return to the court!"

Cao Rui was moved by Xiahou Mao, and immediately appointed Xiahou Mao as the commander-in-chief and dispatched 200,000 troops from Guanxi to meet the enemy.

The unemployed Sima Yi learned that Zhuge Liang was attacking and that the emperor sent the son-in-law Xiahou Mao instead of the general Cao Zhen or the great marshal Cao Xiu, and he was very worried.

He began to write memorials at his desk.

Sima Zhao said bluntly: "Father, you are a man who has been demoted, no different from ordinary people. What is the point of writing a memorial?"

After hearing this, Sima Yi sat down at the table in a daze. 】

<Even Wang Situ thinks Xiahou Mao is unreliable, Cao Rui, you little emperor~what's wrong with you.>

<"Mastering the Art of War", "Capturing Zhuge Liang Alive", "Dead and Never Returning">

<Welcome to watch the large-scale TV series "Capturing Zhuge Liang Alive">

<Xiahou Yuan didn't even dare to say such big words.>

<The puzzled look on Cao Xiu's face made me laugh to death, what he meant was: You? Capture Zhuge Liang alive?>

<Xiahou Mao was the consort of Cao Cao's eldest daughter, Princess Qinghe, and had a good relationship with Cao Pi.>

<Sending the General for Free - Xiahou Mao>

<The look in Sima Zhongda’s eyes shows that he is a loyal minister [covering his face]>

<When Sima Yi heard that it was not Cao Zhen, he began to panic.>

<Sima Yi: Xiahou Mao? He is a piece of shit! I would never have thought it would be Xiahou Mao!!!>

<This gives me a feeling of Sima Yi, the last loyal minister of the Wei Dynasty [covering face]>

<Isn't Sima Yi at this moment the same as Boss Cao back then?>

<Sima Zhao is such a good son, haha. Brother Zhao has always been sweet-mouthed, as if his mouth was smeared with honey.>

<Sima Yi: Are you polite? Although I am angry, I can't refute... I seem to have been dismissed...>

<It is reasonable to suspect that Sima Yi’s good mentality was caused by his son’s scolding, hahahaha.>

[Eastern Han Dynasty, Jian'an Year 6, Xiahou Yuan: Wait, this Xiahou Mao... my son?]

[Yuan Shao, the sixth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty: Cao Mengde, when you look at Sima Zhongda, have you ever thought about what you looked like back then?]

[Sun Ce, the sixth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty: Alas, Cao Mengde, you really lost your original intention. Do you also want to call yourself the last loyal minister of the Han Dynasty?]

[Emperor Cao Cao of Wei: Stop using Sima Yi to disgust me! I am different from him!]

[Liu Bei, Emperor Zhaolie of Han: Hmm? What’s the difference between you two? You did the same thing… you bullied the emperor, monopolized power, and even handed over the throne to your son.]

……

Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun looked at each other.

"Uh, isn't he your son? How come he became my son? Are the historical records wrong?" Xiahou Yuan could only guess that the historical records were wrong, as he had not done anything to let down his cousin Xiahou Dun.

"Yes, that's right..." Xiahou Dun touched his head and looked at Xiahou Yuan with great confusion.

"Did I give my son to you?"

"No need... I have a son." Xiahou Yuan remembered that his son had appeared on the light screen, and Xiahou Ba had fought with him in Hanzhong.

"My son will be able to lead troops in the future!" Xiahou Yuan was extremely confident in Xiahou Ba's ability. He looked at Xiahou Mao and shook his head at Xiahou Dun.

Patting his shoulder, he said, "Yuanrang, you need to educate Meng'er well..."

Xiahou Dun: “…”

angry!

But there is no way to vent!

Suddenly I feel that "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" should be written like this. The Xiahou Mao known to the world is Xiahou Yuan's son, not his.

This son is such a disgrace!

Cao Cao simply guessed from the screen that Xiahou Mao was a mediocre person who could do nothing. He could only hold a position with the help of his father. If he was just an idle official, it would not be a big deal, after all, he was a family member. But, Cao Rui actually let Xiahou Mao lead hundreds of thousands of troops to fight?

Or fight with Zhuge Liang?

How can you beat this?

"Not good. Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition is in a very good situation this time." Cao Cao sighed as he was immersed in watching the drama.

"No hurry." Guo Jia understood many things in an instant. "Ma Su, who was mentioned before the light curtain, should appear during this period."

Xun You shook his head, "Zhuge Kongming was betrayed by Ma Su."

Combined with the previous video, Ma Su did have some talent, but such a person should not be entrusted with important tasks.

Liu Xuande still had a vicious eye for people.

Sima Yan looked at the young version of his father "Sima Zhao" talking to his grandfather on the screen, and wondered if his father really dared to speak to his grandfather like that before?

……

[Wei Yan believed that the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains was urgent, so he proposed the Ziwu Valley strategy.

"I am willing to lead 5,000 elite soldiers and go north through Ziwu Valley. We can reach Chang'an within ten days. The Prime Minister will send troops to Xiegu and go straight to Xianyang..."

Zhuge Liang thought this plan was unsafe and too radical, so he rejected Wei Yan's plan.

Zhuge Liang ordered Zhao Yun and Deng Zhi to meet the enemy at Fengming Mountain. Han De, the Xiliang general of the Wei army, and his four sons immediately stood in front of the battle. When they saw that Zhao Yun, the vanguard of the Shu army, was a 70-year-old veteran, they were very disdainful.

"Zhao Yun is already in his seventies, but he is still serving as a vanguard. This is a lie that we have no generals in the Central Plains."

Han Ying: "When my brother is young, we will take him down and wipe out his reputation."

In just one round, Han Ying and Han Qi were stabbed to death by Zhao Yun. Han Yao and Han Qiong also rushed over and were stabbed to death by Zhao Yun.

"Who else dares to fight?"

Han De's four sons were all killed by Zhao Yun, and he led his troops to retreat.

A few days later, Xiahou Mao personally led his troops to Fengming Mountain.

In order to avenge his son's death, Han De rode his horse towards Zhao Yun, but Zhao Yun stabbed him to death with one strike of his spear.

When Xiahou Mao saw that Han De had also died in the battle, he had no intention of fighting anymore and fled with his troops in panic, retreating more than ten miles.

Xiahou Mao sighed: "I have heard of Zhao Yun for a long time, but I have never seen him in person. Today's battle finally made me believe what happened at Changbanpo... No one can defeat him. What should I do?"

Cheng Wu suggested that they could feign defeat to lure the enemy into an ambush, and then send a large force to surround them, and they would surely be able to capture Zhao Yun alive.

Zhao Yun ignored Deng Zhi's advice and was surrounded by Wei troops in the valley. The Wei troops blocked all of Zhao Yun's escape routes, and the Shu army suffered heavy casualties.

"I refuse to accept my old age and will die here!" Zhao Yun said sadly.

At this time, Guan Xing and Zhang Bao led their troops to rescue Zhao Yun, and Xiahou Mao had to withdraw his troops.

Xiahou Mao was defeated three times in a row, his army was in disarray, and he fled to Nan'an County, where he refused to leave or fight.

<Our Wei Yan activates the skill [Unique Strategy]>

<Millennium Issue: The Strategy of Ziwu Valley.>

<In history, anyone who went through Ziwu Valley had a bad ending.>

<Later, Cao Zhen took the initiative to attack Shu. His attack route was to start from Ziwu Valley and join forces with Sima Yi who was going against the Han River in Hanzhong. He wanted to take Hanzhong. However, as soon as he entered Ziwu Valley, it rained for a month. When the army was halfway there, almost half of the troops were gone [covering his face] and they encountered an ambush. They were almost trapped inside. It was Cao Rui who was worried that his old minister would die inside, so he pulled him back.>

<At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Gao Yingxiang's army of 100,000 was ambushed by Sun Chuanting at the entrance of the valley and the whole army was annihilated. Otherwise, it is hard to say whether the King of Rebellion was Li Zicheng's.>

<But what Wei Yan said also makes sense. The national strength of Shu is not as good as that of Wei. If it continues for a long time, it will be conquered by Wei sooner or later.>

<I give up. Everyone knows that Xiahou Prince Consort is a loser, except for Emperor Cao Rui of Wei. [Covering face]>

<Fengmingshan large-scale Han family massacre, happy to get the whole family bucket. 《A family of five was brutally murdered, and the murderer turned out to be a 70-year-old man. Why? 》>

<Congratulations to Zhao Zilong for receiving the new title “Household Registration Book Warrior”>

<Recalling the past when Zhao Zilong of Changshan reached the age of seventy and made extraordinary achievements, he killed four generals alone and rushed into the battle, just like the hero who saved his master in Dangyang.>

<Xiahou Mao, you have never believed in the incident at Changbanpo? !>

<Xiahou Mao covered his mouth and cried: I thought it was just an ancient legend [crying]>

<Zhao Zilong is the most comprehensive of the Five Tiger Generals! >

<It's so sad to see this scene. Although Guan and Zhang still came to save him, they used to be the second and third brothers, but now they have become nephews.>

<Dream back to Guan and Zhang: We are here to help you!>

<Guan Xing and Zhang Bao were as brave as their fathers, but unfortunately they died too early.>

[Emperor Cao Cao of Wei: No, who gave me the courage to provoke and look down on others?!]

[Sun Ce in the sixth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty: He is indeed still strong despite his age. He killed five generals in battle at the age of seventy! How impressive!]

[Zhang Fei, the second year of Zhangwu in the Later Han Dynasty: How dare you laugh at Zilong! Haha.]

[Tang Taizong Li Shimin: I have already said that Ziwu Valley is not good.]

[Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin: You can think of the place called Ziwu Valley, and others will think of it too. If we place an ambush at the exit, it will easily lead to the annihilation of the entire army.]

……

"How dare you?"

"Where on earth do you get the courage?"

"Zhao Zilong is just old, not incapable of lifting a gun!"

"So careless!"

Xiahou Yuan said quietly: "Is there really anything wrong with your son?" This question was too much, but Xiahou Dun didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Instead, he nodded.

"Well, he seems a little overconfident."

Listen to what Xiahou Mao said on the screen? !

That's too crazy.

Xiahou Dun was worried that his son did not receive a good education because he died early.

He is said to have been proficient in military tactics since childhood, so how did he end up like this?

"Well, think about the good side. At least..."

Before Cao Ren could finish his words, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong beside him all looked at him expectantly.

"At least, well, he's brave. He didn't abandon the city and run away. For a newcomer to the battlefield, he's pretty good." Cao Ren began to praise him.

Xiahou Dun was even more dissatisfied after hearing this. "Which general would abandon the city and flee? Who would flee unless it was absolutely necessary?"

……

"Bao'er, you did a good job!" Zhang Fei slapped Zhang Bao on the shoulder, "Good boy! You have the bravery of your father!"

"But you still need to practice your spear!"

Zhang Bao smiled and looked up, feeling very happy about his father's praise.

"Yes! I know! I will definitely beat you in a few years!" Zhang Bao snorted.

Zhang Fei was happy just now, but his face fell again when he saw the comments under the screen.

"It's not easy for Zilong..."

He hated the way he died, for not listening to his elder brother and the prime minister.

Hate myself for not being able to help.

Seeing his father's eyes turn red, Zhang Bao thought his father was crying because he saw the comments saying that he would have a short life, so he hurried to comfort him.

"Daddy, don't worry, I will live well! I will never die so early again!"

With a slap, Zhang Fei slapped Zhang Bao on the head.

"What nonsense are you talking about! If you mention death again, I will send you to reincarnation early! How unfilial!"

Zhang Fei felt that he didn't want to hear the word death anymore these days.

Guan Yu stroked his beard and half-closed his eyes.

"Hmm..." Guangmu said that Zilong was the most comprehensive of the Five Tiger Generals...

Aroused by his desire to win, Guan Yu felt that he could learn from Zilong in some aspects.

Fa Zheng looked at Ziwu Valley from another angle and asked, "Kong Ming, do you really think it's not feasible?"

"Hmm..." Zhuge Liang hesitated for a moment and put himself in the shoes of the prime minister on the screen who single-handedly supported the affairs of Shu Han.

"It's possible, but the risk is too great. We can't afford to take any chances, so playing it safe is the best option."

"Otherwise, I think sometimes it is better to use unexpected strategies to achieve a surprise victory. Maybe it will have different effects on the battlefield." Fa Zheng said.

Wei Yan originally wanted to ask them if their plan was not feasible.

It seems that many people in later generations have also walked through Ziwu Valley, and the endings were indeed not very satisfactory.

However, they seem to have other ideas...

As Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng were talking, they brought out the map.
