    Zhou Buji¡¯s method is very simple, which is to cover the matter with bigger news.

    Xia Houyuan is a fierce general under Cao Cao. He has made many military exploits since he followed Cao Cao.

    And this time, he even sent out surprise troops to help Cao Cao pacify Liangzhou.

    Xia Houyuan directly ordered General Xu Huang to lead 30,000 elite horse infantry as the vanguard to leave Chencang and take the trail to attack unexpectedly. He himself commanded the Chinese army to supervise the transportation of grain and grass and then set off.

    The sudden appearance of Cao Jun led by Xu Huang was completely unexpected by Ma Chao.

    After the Battle of Tongguan and the Battle of Hexi, Cao Cao and the Xiliang princes maintained a tacit understanding of a truce.

    Ma Chao believed that Cao Cao was unable to fight anymore, so he took the opportunity to strengthen his own power, and continued to send people to sue Cao Cao for peace to buy time.

    It¡¯s a pity that Cao Cao refused again and again.

    And the reason why Cao Cao tightened his belt and sent troops to Liangzhou was also to gain a breath!

    After learning that Jia Xu was the hermit in Guigu, Cao Cao became more and more frustrated as he thought about it. Why did he have to obey Dongyang Hou's arrangements in everything?

    Under Cao Cao's planning, Xia Houyuan took advantage of the victory to pursue the battle.

    In desperation, Ma Chao hurriedly led tens of thousands of Qiang cavalry to fight against Xu Huang. As a result, they were defeated in the first confrontation. A large number of ordnance and supplies that were discarded before they could be taken away were seized by Xu Huang.

    Xu Huang then took advantage of the situation to pursue him, and Xia Houyuan arrived with his troops, defeating Ma Chao and capturing countless county towns.

    Before Ma Chao had time to digest his own territory, the counties that had previously surrendered showed no loyalty and all joined Xia Houyuan one after another. They were attacked by surprise again and their strength was greatly reduced.

    At this time, Ma Chao's former ally Han Sui was also in Liangzhou and stationed troops in Xianqin County in Tianshui County.

    Showing his relatives to the north of Qishan, Han Sui learned that Xiahou Yuan had raided Ma Chao. He was frightened by the elusive Cao army, and he quickly abandoned his food and baggage and fled.

    At this time, the main force of Cao Cao's army, commanded by Xia Houyuan, was about twenty miles away from Han Sui's army.

    "General, we should continue to pursue Han Sui. If Ma Chao is a tiger, Han Sui is also a bad wolf. He will kill him while he is sick!" Yu Jin said.

    However, Le Jin shook his head and expressed his objection.

    "Han Sui's troops are elite, and we will suffer losses if we fight him on his territory. It is better to attack Xingguo and encroach on Liangzhou step by step."

    Xia Houyuan directly rejected the two proposals.

    "The city of Xingguo is strong and difficult to conquer at the moment, so it is better to attack Changli. Changli is the home base of many Qiang tribes. Most of Han Sui's troops are Changli Qiang soldiers, so attacking them will save them."

    In this way, if Han Sui lets the Qiang soldiers save themselves, they will fall into a situation of defending themselves. If he wants to save Changli, he must go out of the city to fight with our army in the field, and then he can capture them in a single battle.  "

    Xia Houyuan's eyes were very vicious, and he could see Han Suijun's flaws at a glance.

    Among them, Yang Qiu provided a lot of information to Xia Houyuan, otherwise he would not be able to make such a correct judgment.

    When Cao Cao¡¯s army appeared in Changli, they immediately besieged the Qiang tribe and slaughtered countless people.

    Han Suijun immediately exploded.

    ¡°Captain, if we don¡¯t rescue you, Changli will be a river of blood!¡±

    The Qiang soldiers asked for help from their respective tribes, and Han Sui had no choice but to lead his troops to rescue them.

    At this time, Han Sui still had some strength and had assembled an army of 120,000.

    Xiahou Yuan¡¯s central army only numbered 100,000 men!

    Facing the menacing Han Sui army, Cao Cao's army couldn't help but panic, and Yu Jin suggested:

    "General, our army must set up camp and dig trenches to prepare for a protracted war."

    The Qiang soldiers are very strong in field battles. If they meet head-on, they will definitely suffer heavy losses. Yu Jin's proposal is in line with most people's ideas.

    However, this proposal was rejected again by Xia Houyuan.

    "Our army traveled thousands of miles to reach Changli. If we hold on and do not fight, it will definitely lead to low morale. Han Sui's army seems to be powerful, but in fact it is just a ragtag group. In order to rescue Changli, they rushed hard and were also exhausted. Our army  We should set up our positions and fight decisively with them."

    Xia Houyuan ignored the dissuasion and fought a decisive battle with Han Sui's army.

    In order to boost morale, Xia Houyuan played the drums himself.

    "kill!"

    In the wilderness of Xiliang, the shouts of killing shook the sky.

    After a day and night of fighting, Han Sui was defeated, which made Xiahou Yuan famous.

    What made Han Sui's situation worse was that his son-in-law Yan Xing gathered his troops to kill Han Sui and surrender. In response to Xia Houyuan, he attacked Han Sui at night.

    "Yan Xing, I treat you well."?Why betray me?  "

    "The general is joking. In the past, I persuaded you to surrender to the prime minister, but now you are still stubborn. That's why you ended up like this. Who is to blame?"

    Han Sui was furious and led his army to defeat Yan Xing, but this also caused his power to further weaken.

    "Damn it!"

    Han Sui¡¯s position has always been unstable, and now he is even more confused.

    "My lord, you might as well take refuge with Liu Xuande."

    Han Sui¡¯s general Tian Le suggested.

    "Liu Xuande?"

    Han Sui was very moved. Liangzhou was a dangerous place and it was not suitable to stay for a long time.  And Liu Bei is one of the most enterprising princes now. The power around him is not large, so Han Sui can definitely be reused.

    "Now Xuande Gong has been besieging Chengdu for more than half a year. Liu Zhang can't hold on for long with Yangzhou's weapons."

    It is only a matter of time before Liu Bei takes Yizhou.  You can gain benefits by taking refuge in him at this time.

    However, another confidant of Han Sui, Cheng Gongying, expressed opposition. Cheng Gongying and Han Sui were fellow villagers, and they had followed him in rebellion for many years.

    When Han Sui sent troops to Chang'an, Cheng Gongying was responsible for staying in his hometown.

    "My lord, you should not abandon the prestige you have established in Liangzhou and switch to another place. If so, wouldn't more than ten years of hard work be in vain?"

    Han Sui hesitated.

    "You can hide in the Qiang and Di tribes to recruit people again, and wait for the opportunity to make a comeback." Cheng Gongying suggested.

    Han Sui followed the plan and retreated from the Qiang with tens of thousands of followers. Because Han Sui had been kind to the Qiang people, he was protected by the Qiang people.

    Xia Houyuan can't massacre all the way. Do you still want the people of Liangzhou?

    ??

    Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard the news. Xia Houyuan was given a holiday due to his outstanding military exploits. During the war, he could kill those who violated military orders.

    Zhou Buyi used this big news to dilute the impact of Wang Lang's death.

    It really works.

    Because Liu Ke was invincible and often launched or participated in wars, the people of Yangzhou were more concerned about the war.

    "Xiahou Yuan is really a famous general in the world. It's just a pity that his surname is Xiahou, otherwise Dongyang Hou could still recruit him."

    "Haha, others are rare, but Dongyang Marquis is not rare! Look at Cao Cao, when has he ever defeated Dongyang Marquis? Xia Houyuan only fights in a small place like Xiliang."

    "That's right, Dongyang Hou is the most famous general in the world, and he has never been defeated."

    Zhou Buyi was successful, but suddenly found that the general trend of the world began to change unpredictably.

    Under pressure from Xia Houyuan, Ma Chao hoped to ally with Han Sui again, but Han Sui suddenly died of illness.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
