Hanzhong County-Xixiang City!
During the Southwest War, Xia Houyuan's army suffered heavy losses. Therefore, after the war, the army was stationed in Xixiang City to recuperate from battle wounds and make up for the losses!
"Damn it, I have been fighting for most of my life, and I have never suffered from this kind of cowardice. If I go back in despair, how can I face the civil and military forces of the dynasty without making people laugh?
It is said that life is like a moth rushing to a lamp, glory and wealth are sought in danger. Now a great opportunity is right in front of us. Should we, father and son, take a chance? "
¡¡
"Father, please don't be impatient. This matter is too important and too dangerous. We must take a long-term approach!"
In the large tent of the Chinese army, Xia Houyuan held his sword tightly, paced back and forth, and kept yelling. The beard on his face was tied up, like an angry old lion!
Xia Houheng, Xia Houba and more than ten of their trusted generals were lined up on both sides of the tent, either bowing their heads in thought or looking bitter, obviously they had encountered an extremely difficult situation.
To be fair, although this battle to conquer Yizhou failed to achieve its full success, it still achieved great results:
First, the entire Hanzhong County was captured, the Zhang and Lu separatist forces were subdued, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians were recruited!
The second is to establish the Southwest Protectorate, open up thousands of miles of land, implement effective rule over the Qiang and Di tribes, and speed up their Hanization!
Third, it disrupted the Bashu land, completely destroyed its production, and kidnapped hundreds of thousands of people, greatly weakening the strength of the Liu Bei Group.
After the three battles, all the troops had meritorious service, and the spoils of war piled up like mountains. They made a fortune from the war. Even Zhang Lu, Zhang Ren, and Zhang Song, who were demoted from their posts, were rewarded. A person is promoted to an official position and becomes a wife and son-in-law!
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Xiahou father and son's army were defeated, lost the city and the territory. If the friendly forces hadn't rescued them in time, the entire army would have been almost destroyed. Not to mention the rewards, they couldn't even lift their heads all day long!
What is even more depressing is that Cao Cao had promised before that as long as he captured the land of Yizhou, he would appoint Xiahou Yuan as the shepherd of Yizhou and take charge of the military and political power in the southwest. Now that Bashu has failed to conquer, the prefect of Hanzhong County let Ma Liu sit, and Xiahou Father and son are like fetching water from a bamboo basket - a joy in vain!
Xia Houyuan followed Cao Cao for more than twenty years, fighting in the south and north, blocking the east and killing in the west. He fought countless fierce battles and hard battles, and made many military exploits. His character was extremely strong, so naturally he couldn't swallow this feeling of cowardice.
Therefore, in recent times, I have repeatedly written to the court:
The first is to mourn the death of the previous king and congratulate the new king on his succession. As one of the Eight Ministers of Gu Ming, I will loyally assist him until his death!
The second is to make suggestions to Cao Pi: Don't waste national affairs because of one person's life or death. I hope to continue to use troops against Bashu and defeat Liu Bei's group in one fell swoop!
??And solemnly stated: If it is not convenient for Lord Sima to command in the southwest, he is willing to command the army and go south to fight Liu Bei. If he cannot defeat Chengdu, he vows not to withdraw his troops!
Xia Houyuan wrote more than ten times in a row, but there was no reply like a mud cow drowning in the sea. This is not surprising. Guanzhong and Hanzhong are both under Xiao Yi's control, and most of the soldiers and horses are his direct descendants. If this great god doesn't nod in agreement, who will Don¡¯t even think about conquering Bashu!
But Xiao Yi didn't want to fight anymore. In addition to leaving some troops to defend the three plank roads of Jinniu, Micang and Yangba, the rest of the troops gathered in Nanzheng City and gradually withdrew to the Guanzhong area. From then on, the swords and guns were stored in the warehouse, and the horses were released to Nanshan. Recuperate and recuperate, and adjust the internal conflicts within the Caoying Group!
Unexpectedly, just when Xia Houyuan was disheartened and ready to lead his troops to withdraw north, he suddenly received a secret order:
¡®I will immediately take over all the troops and horses in Hanzhong and Guanzhong, and upon successful completion, I will grant you the title of general and false yue, Bo Quan as the order of Chang¡¯an, and Zhong Quan as the prefect of Hanzhong! ¡¯
The secret order was written by Cao Pi himself. It was stamped with the treasure of the King of Wei, the golden seal of the Prime Minister of Han Dynasty, and various secret inscriptions. There would be absolutely no mistakes!
However, after reading the secret order, it was taken back by the envoy, torn into pieces several times, swallowed directly into the stomach, and then left overnight, without spending a moment in the camp!
This shows that although Cao Pi instigated Xiahou and his son to seize military power, he was unwilling to take any responsibility. The reason is also very simple. The risk of this matter is too great.
The generals who are currently commanding the troops in Guanzhong and Hanzhong, Ma Liu, Daniu, Gao Shun, Jiang Qi, Huang Zhong are all Xiao Yi's confidants and obey his orders. Even if Xia Houyuan has two orders from the previous king, I am afraid that I can't command these warriors either!
If they were to be recruited by force, the two sides would probably be at war with each other. Xia Houyuan's troops were newly defeated and their morale was very low. Against hundreds of thousands of tigers and wolves, they would have almost no chance.Just when Xiahou and his son were busy preparing to seize military power, someone was already eyeing their heads!
??¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
Thirty miles southeast of Xixiang City - Anyuan City!
Huang Zhong, Huang Xu and his son commanded 30,000 elite troops and were stationed here. In name, they were on guard against Liu Bei's counterattack, but in reality they were monitoring every move of Xiahou and his son!
"To inform my father, Xiahou and his son have agreed to retreat, but they will not go through Ziwu Valley, but through Baoxie Valley. The troops and horses in the camp are mobilized abnormally, and I am afraid they are going to do something bad!"
"Haha, as expected by Lord Sima, these three father and son have bad intentions and want to seize the military power in Hanzhong and Guanzhong. They are really wishful thinking!"
