next morning,
Lin Yu was promoted to the hall to discuss matters,
The core of the discussion was to attack Hanzhong, which was guarded by Xia Houyuan.
Unexpectedly, before the soldiers expressed their opinions,
Zhang Fei, who performed well in previous battles, suddenly took a step forward.
Said with a twisted expression:
"Ba, Bawang,"
"If you want to attack Hanzhong, the last general, the last general will apply to avoid suspicion!"
Lin Yu was startled when he heard the words,
Then suddenly realized, want to understand the reason.
Zhang Fei and Xia Houyuan have nepotism,
Zhang Fei's wife, Xiahou Shi, is Xiahouyuan's adopted daughter.
In the early years, there was a famine in the world, and the people could not eat enough.
The brothers in Xiahouyuan's family couldn't afford to raise a child, so they gave their own daughter to Xiahouyuan to raise him.
In the end, in order to raise a daughter for his brother, Xia Houyuan sent all his own sons away.
Finally worked hard to bring up the little girl,
As a result, when the little girl went out of the city to collect firewood, she was seen by Zhang Fei who was passing by.
Zhang Fei saw that she had pretty features, a good figure, gentle temperament, and decent conversation, so he snatched her away and forced him to marry her as his wife.
As a result,
Xia Houyuan also became Zhang Fei's cheap father-in-law.
For this reason,
Zhang Fei can beat Zhang He, he can beat Xu Huang,
But he couldn't beat Xia Houyuan.
Lin Yu had no objection to this sudden avoidance of suspicion,
He waved his hand in understanding and said:
"General Yide has made great contributions in the previous two battles,"
"Since Xia Houyuan is related by marriage, don't participate in this battle."
"It just so happened that the two generals Guan Yu and Wei Yan were transferred to the front line by me,"
"With them taking your place, you can step back and rest for the time being."
When Zhang Fei heard it, he quickly thanked Dade for his hands and said:
"Thank you Overlord!"
After seeing off Zhang Fei, Lin Yu turned back and asked Qin Banruo:
"Pretty military division,"
"I'm not in Dangqu these few days, what's going on with Xia Houyuan?"
Qin Banruo said with a smile:
"Report to the Overlord."
"Cao Pi sent Xu Huang to deliver food to Xia Houyuan before, with the intention that he would not be able to hold out until late winter."
"Although Xu Huang has been captured now, we have also robbed the soldiers and rations,"
"But Xia Houyuan's strategy has not changed,"
"The concubine observes the movement in Hanzhong, and speculates that Xia Houyuan still wants to hold on."
Lin Yu raised his eyebrows and asked:
"Oh?"
“How come you see?”
Qin Banruo said:
"The Overlord is not in the army for the past few days, so Xia Houyuan took the opportunity to go out of the city to build defensive facilities such as deer villages and horse refusals,"
"Obviously trying to prevent our army from attacking."
"It can be seen that he only intends to stick to it and dare not attack."
As soon as Lin Yu heard about "building a deer village", a smile appeared on the corner of Lin Yu's mouth.
heart said:
"This Xia Houyuan, it's really an old problem."
"In history, it was precisely because he personally led troops to build the Luzhai that he was bumped into by Huang Zhong who was passing by, and he was cut in half with a single knife."
"Cao Cao has persuaded him not to do everything by himself,"
"When you are a coach, you must have the airs of being a coach. This kind of dangerous work is handed over to your subordinates."
"But he refused to listen, and finally gave away the head for nothing..."
Chapter 329 History Is Always Similar
Thinking of how Xia Houyuan died in history,
Lin Yu immediately had a plan in mind.
As the saying goes - history is always alike.
In this parallel time and space, Xia Houyuan is likely to make the same mistake again.
He looked up at the pretty military division, and asked with a smile:
"Banruo, if I'm right, Xia Houyuan personally oversaw the construction of the deer village these days, right?"
Qin Banruo was startled when he heard the words, a look of admiration appeared on his handsome and unparalleled face,
Asked in surprise:
"How did the Overlord know?"
Lin Yu said calmly:
"Know yourself and know the enemy, and you won't be in danger in a hundred battles."
"I have done some research on Xia Houyuan in advance, and I know that this person will do everything by himself."
"It's usually as big as formulating strategies, as small as escorting food and grass, and you have to do everything yourself."
"As for building the deer village, I must do it myself."
Before the words fell, Guan Yu immediately came out and said:
"If that's the case, then Xia Houyuan is too hasty!"
"The location where the deer village is built is often outside the city, on a dangerous battlefield,"
"If our army sends a cavalry to strike him with lightning,"
"Isn't Xia Houyuan a dead end?"
Lin Yu smiled and said:
"exactly."
"Xia Houyuan did everything by himself to set an example for the three armed forces,"
"While the original intention is good, it is too risky."
Speaking of which,
He winked at his old classmate standing on the left,
ordered:
"Zhou Yu,"
"Tonight, you lead a cavalry, take dry firewood, kerosene, tent grass and other flammable things, and go to Xiahouyuan's deer village to set fire,"
"Burn his hard work these days!"
Zhou Yu immediately understood Lin Yu's sixth strategy,
Laughing and saying:
"Since the Luzhai was built by Xia Houyuan himself, he must have put a lot of effort into it."
"If the deer village is burned, he will definitely be furious. Maybe he won't stick to it anymore, but will take the initiative to fight our army!"
Lin Yu nodded and said:
"It's one of them."
"Even if Xiahouyuan's city mansion is deep enough to stabilize his emotions and continue to hold his ground,"
"But according to his habit, if the deer village is destroyed, he will definitely come to repair it himself."
"When he repairs the deer village, we can take the opportunity to capture and kill him!"
After hearing this, Zhou Yu suddenly realized,
Recalling it vaguely, it seems that in history, Huang Zhong ordered the army to kill Xia Houyuan because he came out to build the deer village in person, and was caught by Huang Zhong!
He hastily bowed his hands and said:
"The overlord's magic trick!"
"Don't worry, this matter will be settled in the end!"
……
Night came,
There is peace between heaven and earth,
at this moment,
The gate of Dangqu City opened quietly,
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yu, who was dressed in black, rode a black horse and led dozens of light cavalry in black robes and armor,
Carrying flammable things such as kerosene, dry firewood, and grass, he quickly ran towards Hanzhong.
Their goal was not the city of Hanzhong, but the deer village outside the city.
When he was getting close, Zhou Yu got off his horse and made sure that there were no sentries from the Kingdom of Wei around, so he poured kerosene on the deer village and set it on fire.
After finishing all this, he quickly got on his horse,
With a group of "arsonists", Fei also fled back to Dangqu City.
Because there is still some distance between Luzhai and Hanzhong, the sentinels in Hanzhong failed to find out in time.
Waiting until the fire ignited, the guards standing guard on the city wall shouted in panic:
"Fire!"
"Fire!"
"The direction of Luzhai is on fire!"
Right now,
Xia Houyuan, the guard of Hanzhong, was sleeping in his own mansion,
Hearing the movement outside, he turned over, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and then came back to his senses,
He hurriedly put on his clothes and got up, put on his shoes and went out and asked:
"What happened?"
