    Cao Ren, a famous general under Cao Cao, was finally captured alive by Zhang He outside Wangyuan City.

    Zhang He then connected Cao Ren, Cao Tai and his son to Chencang through the battle reports of the past few days.

    And after he completely wiped out Cao Jun in Wangyuan, he went straight to Shanggui without further delay.

    At this time, Huang Zhong and Xia Houyuan had been in a stalemate for seven or eight days at the foot of Shanggui City.

    At the beginning, the two sides would fight back and forth under the city, with each other winning or losing.

    But during this period, Xiahou Yuan's troops obviously came out less.

    Because they discovered that the other party was besieging the city and had no intention of attacking at all.

    It¡¯s more like living directly outside the city and spending all your time.

    "Just like that, Xia Houyuan was already very passive as a defender of the city.

    If we continue to fight like we did at the beginning, it will affect the morale of our men even more.

    Therefore, Xia Houyuan directly closed the city gate and did not come out again.

    Every time the opponent came to the city to challenge him, he would order people to shoot them away with random arrows, not giving the opponent a chance to continue to consume his own strength.

    The city of Shanggui is tall and strong and cannot be easily attacked by the opponent, so Xiahou Yuan is not in a hurry at all.

    But he didn¡¯t know that after Huang Zhong stationed troops outside the city, there were still several forces wreaking havoc on the surrounding monarchs.

    Xia Houyuan mobilized all his troops, and the other cities could no longer hold on.

    So in just a few days, Jiang Wei, Liang Xu, Ma Chao and other armies achieved great results, almost wiping out all the prefectures and counties within a hundred miles of Shanggui City.

    Today, Shanggui has become a veritable isolated city.

    On this day, Zhuge Liang took the initiative to lead his army to Shanggui City after receiving good news from all sides.

    "General Miaocai, now that all the surrounding counties are in my hands, Shanggui is already a lonely tree.

    For the safety of the soldiers and people in the city, I hope General Miaocai can recognize the reality and surrender as soon as possible.  "

    Zhuge Liang's call to surrender immediately angered Xiahou Yuan.

    He replied directly: "Zhuge Villager, who do you think I, Xia Houyuan, am? My Xia Houyuan's head is right here. If you have the ability, come and get it!"

    After saying this, Xia Houyuan was still angry, picked up the bow and arrow beside him, and shot directly at Zhuge Liang.

    Xia Houyuan was an expert in archery, and even though he was not sure he could kill Zhuge Liang from such a distance.

    But it¡¯s still good to take the opportunity to humiliate the other person.

    It¡¯s just that Xia Houyuan ignored Huang Zhong beside Zhuge Liang, who was also proficient in archery.

    Seeing Xia Houyuan release his arrow, Huang Zhong's eyes widened and he immediately blocked Zhuge Liang.

    With his eyes fixed on the flying arrow, he actually caught it when he arrived.

    "Prime Minister, be careful! Let me know how to deal with him!"

    With that said, Huang Zhong directly picked up his bow and fired the arrow back, hitting the female wall in front of Xia Houyuan.

    Huang Zhong said mockingly: "Xia Houyuan, you need to practice your archery for a few more years!"

    Xia Houyuan's face was very ugly. Not only did this arrow not hurt the opponent at all, but it made himself very embarrassed.

    Therefore, he was not in the mood to continue arguing with the other party, and directly ordered: "If the enemy dares to approach the city wall, immediately fire thousands of arrows to drive them away!"

    Afterwards, Xia Houyuan couldn't help but worry about Cao Ren.

    Cao Ren led an army of 20,000 troops to garrison Guatai Mountain, originally preparing for a surprise attack when Huang Zhong attacked the city.

    Who would have thought that the day before yesterday, I heard a message from Cao Tai saying that Cao Ren was going to rescue Wangyuan, but he was ambushed unexpectedly.

    Now all the troops were taken by the other party to relieve Cao Ren.

    Since then, there has been no news, which makes Xia Houyuan worried about him.

    If Huang Zhong launches a massive attack at this moment, Shanggui City will be in danger.

    Xia Houyuan walked anxiously up and down the city wall, when a soldier suddenly pointed to the north and shouted: "General, what do you see over there?"

    Being reminded, Xia Houyuan immediately turned his head to look.

    However, in the distance to the northwest, there were figures of humans and horses, causing smoke and dust to fill the sky.

    Xia Houyuan's face instantly became energetic.

    "Could it be that Zixiao's reinforcements have arrived?" Xia Houyuan said excitedly, his original worry completely settling in his stomach.

    But when the army slowly approached, Xia Houyuan's originally excited face suddenly froze.

    Because he found that the number of these armies was too many.

    wantI know that Cao Ren only brought 20,000 soldiers at that time, but the size of the army coming from a distance was at least 40,000.

    And now that the troops from surrounding counties have been transferred to Shanggui by Xia Houyuan, even if they want to replenish them, they cannot do so quickly.

    So there is only one possibility, that is, the ones coming are not Cao Ren¡¯s army.

    Thinking of this possibility, Xia Houyuan's face became increasingly ugly.

    And when he saw clearly the flag of the strongest side, he finally despaired.

    "How is it possible? Where is General Zixiao?"

    After seeing Zhang He's handsome flag clearly, Xia Houyuan murmured, with a look of disbelief on his face.

    However, Zhang He quickly gave an answer to his question.

    At the end of the team, there were two prison cars traveling together.

    Xia Houyuan took a closer look and was instantly horrified, because inside the prison car was his old acquaintance, Cao Ren and Cao Zixiao!

    The situation of Cao Ren being captured alive by the opponent was beyond Xiahou Yuan's imagination.

    "And after seeing the other party, there is no need to doubt that all the 20,000 troops must have been destroyed.

    Now that we have arrived, Shanggui has truly become an isolated city.

    The only hope left in Xia Houyuan's heart was finally shattered.

    But he looked crazy and refused to give in. He still asked the soldiers to defend closely.

    The news of the army coming from the north also alarmed Zhuge Liang and Huang Zhong.

    At first, they really thought it was enemy reinforcements, and they were really surprised.

    But when they got closer, the two finally looked at each other and smiled, completely relaxed.

    Zhang He also saw the situation here and found that Zhuge Liang was also there, so he quickly drove his horse there first.

    "General Zhang He, please pay your respects to the Prime Minister! I didn't expect you to be here, Prime Minister."

    Zhuge Liang gently raised his feather fan to avoid the other party's etiquette.

    Then he said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Jun Yi and his soldiers were so quick that they actually met in Shanggui City!"

    "The Prime Minister praised me. Your Majesty has an order, how could Zhang He dare to carry it out at all?"

    This time, thanks to His Majesty's blessing, Cao Ren and his son were captured alive and were about to be escorted to Chencang to present to Your Majesty.  Now, everyone north of Hanyang has returned to our great Han Dynasty.  "

    Even Zhuge Liang couldn't help but praise Zhang He's achievements.

    Then everyone finally got down to business and began to discuss how to attack Shanggui.

    The positions of Zhang He and Huang Zhong are not much different, but they are both lower than Zhuge Liang.

    "In addition, Zhuge Liang is well-known for his cleverness, so the two of them expressed that everything would be carried out according to the requirements of Prime Minister Kong Ming.

    Seeing that the two of them were like this, Zhuge Liang did his best to show off his plans without being polite.

    His plan is actually very simple, just follow the arrangement from the beginning.

    Now start to spread the fact to the city that all counties are now occupied, to destroy the opponent's morale, and then we can win it in one fell swoop.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
