However, it was said that Xiahouba was attracted by Ma Chao's soldiers and horses every day, but he neglected to take precautions against the internal mountain roads, Zhang Fei led his troops to arrive twenty miles outside the camp, and Xiahouba still did not know.

It's late afternoon, and it's getting westerly.

Zhang Fei's more than 40,000 troops stopped on the mountain road, the mountain road was narrow, and its soldiers and horses stretched for more than ten miles, and there was no end in sight.

Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Fa Zheng and other generals in the army, and strategists all sat on the side of the road by the stones and discussed.

Zhang Fei said to everyone: "Meng Qi led the soldiers and horses to travel lightly and early, and now he must have arrived five or six days early, and I don't know what the situation is." Let's rest here first, send scouts to find out the news, and it's not too late to make a decision. ”

Zhang Fei said that, and ordered the scout to go to find out the news.

In a short time, the scouts returned.

Seeing the scouts returning, Zhang Fei hurriedly asked, "What is the situation, has Yangping Pass been lost?" ”

The scout replied, "Looks like it's still there!" ”

Zhang Fei's eyes widened, and he scolded: "What does it mean that it looks like it should be there, but is it not there?" If you don't tell the truth, do you want to eat my whip? ”

The scout shuddered when he thought of Zhang Fei's viciousness, and hurriedly explained: "The small ones can't be sure, because a camp has been established in the mountain pass twenty miles ahead, and I am blocked by the camp, so I can't go to Yangping Pass to investigate." However, in the direction of Yangping Pass, there were faint shouts, but they disappeared after a while, so I felt that Yangping Pass may not have been lost, and it was Cao's army attacking Yangping Pass, because it was late and retreated. ”

Fa Zheng smiled at the generals and said, "Cao Jun is camping in the mountain pass, which is expected!" As for the shouting and killing on the side of Yangping Pass, I am afraid that Cao Jun is attacking Yangping Pass. Presumably, Meng Qi has joined up with Pang De and retreated to Yangping Pass. ”

Zhang Fei was overjoyed when he heard this: "Yangping Pass has not been lost, this is great, since the Cao army is attacking Yangping Pass, I should quickly lead the troops to break through the Cao army camp, so as not to be noticed by the Cao army and send more troops and horses." ”

"Well, we really need to take the camp as soon as possible!" Fa Zheng nodded and asked the scout, "Can you find out who is the guard of Cao Ying in the mountain pass ahead?" ”

The scout replied: "I saw the big banner in the army with the words Xiahou Ba and so on. ”

Fa Zheng raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Xiahou Ba? This person is the second son of Xiahou Yuan, although he is not young, but he has not seen his leader, Xiahou Yuan actually let him lead his troops to guard the camp. ”

Don't look at Xiahouba's active activity in the late Three Kingdoms, and even followed Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition, in fact, Xiahouba's age is not young now.

Zhang Fei's wife, Xiahou, is the younger sister of Xiahou Ba, who was born in 187 AD, and this Xiahou Ba is the brother of Xiahou, and is now at least thirty years old.

"It doesn't matter if he has led an army or not!" Huang Zhong arched his hand and said: "Since I am the vanguard, now this Cao army camp will be captured by me with my troops, and I will definitely behead Xiahou Ba and present it to the general." ”

"The last general will ask for orders to attack the camp, and he will behead Xiahou Ba!"

"The last general asks for orders to attack the camp, Xiahou Ba is unknown, I will kill him!"

"Huh?" Zhang Fei listened to the words of the generals, his eyes widened, and then his eyes rolled, shook his head like a rattle, and said: "No, Hansheng, you are not young, you are not young anymore, you should stay and rest after a hard journey all the way." As for the generals, my bones are going to rust during this time, so don't fight with me, this time let me move my muscles and bones, come on, pick up 3,000 soldiers and horses and follow me into the Cao army camp. Strategist, you lead the army behind. ”

"Hmm!" Fa Zheng nodded, and did not object to Zhang Fei's proposal.

Seeing that Fa Zheng had no objection, Zhang Fei immediately led 3,000 soldiers and horses to break away from the team and went straight to the mountain pass camp.

"This ...... As the main general, he is still fighting with me as a pioneer, what is the matter? Huang Zhong looked at the back of Zhang Fei riding his horse away, and said with indignation in his heart.

Ling Bao smiled bitterly and shook her head: "I knew that the third general was so belligerent, I shouldn't have asked for an order to come with me." ”

The generals also sighed, and they were not in a good mood.

An army goes out, if it wins, no matter how much the main general contributes, the biggest profit is the main general, in addition to the reward, the biggest gain is fame, and the benefits fall on the main general.

And ordinary generals want to gain fame for their military exploits, but they can only kill the enemy desperately and strive to perform well on the battlefield.

Zhang Fei is good, he is the main general, as long as the war is won, his gain is the greatest. Now they are competing with ordinary generals for credit, which makes the generals feel comfortable.

Didn't these generals go out to get military exploits in order to make their wives and sons?

"Hahaha!" Fa Zheng laughed when he heard this.

Huang Zhong saw Fa Zheng laughing, and asked, "Strategist, it's just that you don't stop him, why are you laughing." ”

"This time, Yide grabbed credit from you, and there was a reason!" Fa Zheng beckoned the generals to come over and said in a low voice: "You guys are so ignorant that you actually want to kill Yide's eldest brother!" ”

Ling Bao was taken aback when she heard this: "Military advisor, you can't wronged a good person, where do I want to kill the general's uncle?" ”

"Yes, military advisor, you can't talk nonsense."

"I don't even know who the general's uncle is......"

Fa Zheng grinned and said, "Didn't you all shout before that you wanted to kill Xiahou Ba and cut off Xiahou Ba's head?" ”

"What does this Xiahou Ba have to do with the general's brother-in-law?"

"It's just that you can't beat it with eight poles!"

"Wait, how did I hear that the general's wife is surnamed Xiahou? Could it be ......"

When all the generals heard this, they all looked at Fa Zheng, who nodded and said in a low voice: "Yes, General Zhang's wife is Xiahou Yuan's daughter and Xiahou Ba's sister." Although General Zhang and Xiahou Yuan are hostile and will not show mercy to his subordinates, but after all, take into account his wife's feelings, if you can capture it, you will not kill it, a few of you will cut off your head when you open your mouth, and cut off your head when you close your mouth, how can General Zhang let you go? ”

"Oops, but I forgot that Mrs. Zhang is Xiahou Yuan's daughter!" Huang Zhong patted his thigh and said, "This is my head, complain about me, blame me, you shouldn't say this." If we really kill this Xiahou Ba, Yide will not look good in the future. ”

Ling Bao nodded and said, "But General Zhang is not a soft-hearted person, I am afraid that this Xiahou Ba will be captured by General Zhang." ”

Fa Zheng is the supervisor of the army, and in addition to supervising the army, he also has to solve other affairs in the army. Zhang Fei couldn't bear to kill Xiahou Ba because of his wife's feelings, so he scrambled, but he couldn't explain the problem with his face, so that he was misunderstood by the generals, and Fa Zheng had to explain it himself, so as not to resentment him and affect the army's expedition.

After listening to Fa Zheng's explanation, the generals all understood Zhang Fei, and there were no complaints.

But he said that Zhang Fei led 3,000 soldiers and horses all the way to the Shankou camp to kill.
