Chapter 602 Take Luoyang 8
Seeing this, the general of the pro-guard came forward and shouted, "What soldiers are in front of you? Hurry up and avoid it."
"What did you say? I'm a general. What kind of position are you? You are shouting in front of me. Do you know how to understand etiquette? Is that's how your general taught you?
General Qinwei's words were blocked, pointed to General Niu and said, "I will definitely tell General Xiahou about this."
"You can say whatever you want. I'm going to save General Xiahou. Naturally, I want to prevent other assassins from breaking in behind. This is the order of Vice General Zhou." Niu Jin said righteously.
The general's face turned red. He didn't have the same good eloquence as General Niu, but he was worried about the safety of Xia Houyuan. He pointed to General Niu with a ring head knife and said, "Don't make way. Don't blame me for being rude."
General Niu's face suddenly pulled down and said, "What, you, you, a little general, call yourself General in front of me, and still want to kill me?" I think you look like an assassin. Come on, take him down. Don't delay us from rescuing the general.
"No." After the two soldiers hugged their fists, they came to the general.
The general did not hesitate to wave the ring head knife twice in a row, and the two soldiers died in an instant.
But the soldiers in the army must have a certain blood. Maybe they are very cowardly on the battlefield, but in their own nest, they should be strong, otherwise no one will look up to you.
"Come on, grab him. He killed the soldiers in our army. He must be with the assassin." General Niu will definitely not let go when he catches the reason.
Two more soldiers came out and looked at General Qinwei with a little awe.
In a hurry, the general of the guard raised the ring head knife and was about to cut at the soldier. Unexpectedly, the soldier in front of him shook his body, dodged the blow he was determined to get, grabbed the ring head knife, and subdued the general of the guard.
No matter how much the pro-guard general shouted, General Niu ignored it and shouted at the soldiers behind the pro-guard general: "What are you doing? Go and save the general. I will report this to General Xiahou.
General Niu's strong momentum made the Guards no one refute for a while and followed General Niu to the rescue, but General Niu's speed was really not flattering. At such a speed, even if he rushed to the camp, I'm afraid the assassin would also run away.
"You have ulsitic intentions. The personal guards will listen to the order and go to the rescue of the general as soon as possible. You can't neglect at all, otherwise the military law will deal with it." The general of the guard suddenly woke up and shouted loudly.
When the guard heard the words, he rushed in the direction of the camp, and General Niu did not stop him. His task was to delay the guard for a moment.
"In the future, be polite when you talk to me. They are all subordinates of General Xiahou. Don't be big or small, or you will fight once in the future." General Niu said rudely.
The situation is becoming more and more critical. Xia Houyuan has three wounds on his body, and blood keeps flowing out. Since another man in black joined, Xia Houyuan has been injured repeatedly. The martial arts of this man in black is much higher than that of only three, and he is fierce and straightforward. Xia Houyuan is tired of resisting.
More than 20 people in black wandered around the periphery of the tent, completely freeing a hurried soldier. More and more soldiers rushed towards them, and even the man in black was gradually a little unsupported. After all, this is Cao's camp, with enemies everywhere. If he is not careful, he will pay his life here.
"You..." Xia Houyuan fell to the ground feebly, pointed to the direction of the tent, opened his eyes, and looked at everything in front of him in disbelief. A crossbow arrow penetrated his throat.
"Let's go." Under the order of the man in black, the four rushed out of the tent. More than 20 people in the chaotic camp, like a fish in the water, found a deserted corner, changed into soldiers' clothes, pretended to be soldiers who went to rescue, and mixed with the soldiers.
When the generals in the army got the news and came to Xia Houyuan's tent, all he saw was a cold body and a mess.
"Who can tell me what's going on? What about the pro-guards? What was the general doing when the accident happened? Xia Houyu shouted loudly.
The general of the pro-guard came out with a shy face and said, "After hearing the general's voice, he immediately led the soldiers to the rescue. Unexpectedly, he met General Niu on the road. He blocked the pro-guard's way."
"Yes, it's him. If it weren't for him, the general would be fine. General, General Niu and the assassin are one of the same group." Under the excitement of the generals, some of them were incoherent.
"General Niu?" Xia Houyu said coldly, "Come on, bring General Niu here."
"If General Xiahou is killed, he should report to Duke Wei as soon as possible and let him make a final determination. At this time, there is a Xiliang army outside the gate, and it is urgent to guard the checkpoint." Zhou Xingyue said.
Zhou Xing's words won the recognition of the generals in the account. Xia Houyuan has died. The most important thing is to stabilize the heart of the army, so that the army will not mutiny because of Xia Houyuan's death. Pingsu Zhou Xing made a plan beside Xia Houyuan, and his status in the heart of the general is not low. After listening to his words, some generals immediately agreed.
Wei Gong must be punished for Xia Houyuan's death. At this time, if he loses the tiger prison, the punishment will be greater. If he doesn't try to keep the checkpoint, many generals stand on Zhou Xing's side.
Xia Houyu said coldly, "Vice General Zhou, what do you mean? Is it just that the general is stabbed? I am sure that the assassin is in the army, and the personal guard will follow me to find all the assassins."
Zhou Xing shouted harshly, "Xia Houyu, the tiger prison is a matter of great importance, and there can be no mistake. You are a general in the army. Don't you even understand this? At this time, the most important thing is to stabilize the army's heart. If the Xiliang army takes the opportunity to attack the city, how can you defend it?" At this time, Zhou Xing is like a person with the talent of a great general. In contrast, Xia Houyu is a little unreasonable.
Xia Houyu's face kept changing, and finally hugged his fist and said, "Vice General Zhou, I'm going to catch the assassin. You are responsible for stabilizing the army. General Xia Hou's death can't be just like this."
Zhou Xing pointed to the back of Xia Houyu, and his face was gloomy. Xia Houyu was from the Xia Hou family. Even Zhou Xing's position was higher than him, and he could not control him. He could only let him go. However, the more so, the more he wanted to sit in the position of general and let all those who despised him fall at his feet.
"Gentlemen, you can't have no master in the Tiger Prison for a day, and this time, General Xiahou was assassinated. The most urgent task is to select the master general, guard the Tiger Prison, and wait for the Duke of Wei to send reinforcements." A general who made friends with Zhou Xing said.
This statement has won the recognition of many generals. After all, Zhou Xing's lingering power is still there, and he can take care of the overall situation at the critical moment. Such a person is the main general, guarding the tiger's prison, and the grasp is much greater.
Under the operation of the people with intentions, Zhou Xing was appointed as the main general of the army to guard the tiger's prison.
Two days later, the soldiers of the three armies were all wrapped in white cloth, and their crying was shocking. Xia Houyuan was bold and capable of literature and martial arts. He still had a certain position in the hearts of the soldiers. He suddenly died, which was a great blow to morale.
After hearing this movement, Jia Rong outside the customs showed a touch of color on his face. Judging from the movement in the customs, it must be that Zhang Xiu has already done it. He also wants to start planning how to quickly capture Luoyang and put this prosperous city in his palm after conquering the Tiger Prison Pass.
"Lord, General Zhang Xiu has won. Tomorrow, he will order to open the gate. At that time, as soon as the army rushes in, the tiger prison will be closed." Guo Jiaxi said.
Zhao Yun held his fist and said, "Congratulations on getting the tiger prison."
Jia Rong nodded and said, "Well, after the Hu Prison Pass was conquered, how our army quickly captured Luyang is the most important thing. Compared with the Hu Prison Pass, Luyang is a tough city."
Guo Jia's face turned solemn, and the general of Luoyang was the most difficult bone to gnaw. Cao Ren, the famous general of the Cao army, was much more famous than Xia Houyuan.
Before the death of Xia Houyuan comes out, we must take down Luyang and do not give enough time to react to the Cao army. With the combat effectiveness of the Xiliang Army, it is enough to attract Cao Cao's attention, so as to mobilize most of the people to station in Luyang. Luyang can't conquer it. The previous efforts are in vain. Hu Prison Pass and Fenshui Pass are indeed dangerous. That's external. It will be extremely easy to attack two levels from Luyang.
In the Hu prison, Zhou Xing, with the support of a group of generals, became the main general in the army. Zhang Xiu has been following him, nominally to protect his safety. In fact, he knows better than anyone else. If he is a little against the rebellious heart, I'm afraid he will be the first to die. Xia Houyuan is an important figure in Cao's army, and there are The elite guard died in their hands, not to mention himself. He had never seen Zhang Xiu's technique, but the strong deterrent from him made Zhou Xing dare not make any changes.
"Tomorrow, it will be ordered to clean up the clutter that closed the door. As for the name, we will avenge Xia Houyuan and fight with the Xiliang Army outside the city." Zhang Xiu said slowly.
"Your Excellency, this is a little bad. I just became the main general in the army. There are some things that I can't do. Not to mention others, it's Xia Houyu. Your excellency has also seen it. I can't control it at all. If you open and close the door, I'm afraid he will be the first to jump out and object." Zhou Xingdao.
Zhang Xiu said coldly, "Xia Houyu? Xia Houyuan still died in our hands, not to mention him. Just do it. Don't forget that you are the chief general in the army. The military order is like a mountain. What reason does Xia Houyu have to oppose it? If he is really disobedient, he can be arrested."
"Okay, I'll be in front of the army tomorrow." Zhou Xing said helplessly. After stepping on this road, there was no turning back. I'm afraid that Luoyang's family had been secretly protected by Zhang Xiu.
"Not only that, you also need to send your cavalry to Luyang to report the news. You'd better be able to gain Cao Ren's trust." Zhang Xiudao.
Although Zhou Xing didn't understand Zhang Xiu's practice, he still nodded and agreed.
