Three Kingdoms

Chapter 3010: False when false

Who would have thought that Xiahou Shang would have such a big reaction when he saw the head of his concubine?

 Concubine basically has no human rights. Most of the time, she is equivalent to a plaything.

Hence, Cao Chun didn't pay much attention when he killed Xiahou Shang's concubine. After all, in the Han Dynasty, and later until the Ming and Qing Dynasties, giving away concubines could still be called an elegant act, so if you kill them, you will kill them. What's the big deal? If it really doesn't work out, I'll just have to compensate Xia Houshang for two.

But Xiahou Shang was so sad, holding his concubine's head and crying incessantly, which was unexpected.

Howling, that’s real tears.

 It’s not a fake sadness...

 The question is, is this necessary?

 Simpi couldn’t understand it at all.

 Is it really that sad?

Xinpi can understand that his beloved concubine died, and it is possible to be sad, but Xiahou Shang is like this...

 Crying so much that I almost fainted, with snot and tears flowing from my nose, and finally my voice became hoarse.

 Tut.

Would he be so sad when his father and mother died? Xin Pi cursed in his heart, but on the surface he still comforted Xia Houshang, and then asked Xia Houshang's guards to take this miserable relative away quickly. The wailing was really deafening and unbearable.

 The more romantic and talented a person is, the more he loves himself, rather than loving others, especially concubines without any status. Many concubines feel that they are a special one who can make romantic talents fall in love with them and thus stage a peerless drama of love and love. However, most of the time they just touch themselves and will still be sold when they should be sold. Sold, they will still be given away when they should be given away, and they will still be killed when they should be killed...

 Or cut off the head and put it in a wooden box and give it to Xiahou Shang like this.

They also cut off the meat and distributed it to their men.

Or simply buried alive.

 Concubine is not a person, but an object.

This is the concept of almost everyone in the Han Dynasty, and Xia Houshang's performance will naturally make people feel a little surprised.

　　『What’s more, it’s fake…』

 This is Xinpi’s evaluation.

Zhao Yun is still "out", so he still hasn't met Xia Houshang. Even if Xiahou Shang really surrenders, he still needs to dry it to avoid attracting bugs or something. Zhao Yun will not officially meet Xiahou Shang until he is sure it is clean.

　　　‘In the land of Shandong, there are few people who have lost their concubines...how can they be so sad after losing them? Xinpi shook his head and said, "Excessive force shows that it is false." If words and deeds are false, there must be a reason. 』

Zhao Yun nodded slowly.

 This is the common value of Han people today. Regardless of whether such values ​​are correct or not, one thing is certain, as long as someone deviates from such values, they will definitely be excluded...

 In many divine dramas of later generations, the concubines and the principal wives were jealous and even fought, all to deceive the audience for the sake of ratings. A real concubine will be driven out of the house in a matter of seconds, or even be killed outright, if she is offended before it is too late to curry favor with her real wife. Regardless of whether he is handsome or talented, the outcome is the same. So who would believe that Xiahou Shang loved his concubine?

 Zhao Yun didn’t believe it either.

Never mind how many women were arranged for Zhao Yun in later generations, and there were even some mythical dramas in which Zhao Yun fought in and out of the enemy lines to save a certain woman, and then saved the beautiful woman from danger. Naturally, he loved to see beautiful women paired with beautiful women, and so on. But in fact, even Mr. Luo only dared to describe how Zhao Yun would fight for Adou...

After all, for Liu Bei and Adou, it is called protecting the Lord, and it is commendable for loyalty and bravery. And if Zhao Yun is covered in blood for a woman...

Hmm, I can’t believe that Old Liu was muttering in his heart.

Therefore, in history, the big-faced Zhao Yun is not as greedy as Mr. Guan. The so-called Mrs. Fan is basically a fiction. Zhao Yun should have stabilized after entering Sichuan, married a wife and had children, and also married It belongs to an ordinary family, so there are no records spread.

 So Zhao Yun doesn’t agree that Xia Houshang really does it “because of love”…

 However, everyone is actually wrong on this matter.

 Xiahou Shang is really sad.

 Devastated.

Xiahou Shang is very emotional, at least in his attitude towards his concubine. It can even be said that in today's Han Dynasty, it is indeed relatively rare to have a person like Xia Houshang with such an attitude.

 So most people don’t think of it.

At first, Xia Houshang thought it was some object, but when he found out that the wooden box contained his concubine’s head, he was stunned on the spot. When he came to his senses, tears burst out from his eyes.

 Xin Bi was startled and immediately frowned slightly, but it was difficult to say anything.

 When Xiahou Shang saw the head of his concubine, he fell into great grief and seemed to have lost his response to the outside world. So Xinbi saw that he could not communicate, so he simply sent Xiahou Shang back.

Xiahou Shang held his concubine's head in his hands. It was so sad that he burst into tears. After returning to the temporary residence, he still held the head of his concubine without letting go. Even if it was stained with blood and lime, he didn't care. Fortunately, it is winter now. Otherwise, if it were summer, maggots might have grown all over the place from Yuyang to Changshan...

 But such a scene is terrifying enough.

The guards quickly welcomed Xiahou Shang into the hall, closed the windows, and then gathered around Xiahou Shang.

  Xia Houshang was still crying (>__<). . .

"General..." Xiahou Shang's guard whispered, "This... we have already seen it, there is no one around..." There are no outsiders here, are you still holding the head?

  Xiahou Shang: "Woo woo o(╥﹏╥)o..."

Xia Houshang's guard: "Hiss...General, what are you..."

Yes, you are professional!

Are you too invested and unable to take it back for a while?

 The guards looked at each other, speechless.

After a while, Xia Houshang muttered with tears in his eyes, "He promised me..."

"ha? ” Guard Xiahou Shang didn’t hear clearly, but he felt that something was wrong.

Xia Houshang raised his head, his face full of sorrow and anger, "He promised me!" She obviously promised me to take good care of her! 』

"This..." Guard Xiahou Shang was startled for a moment, "Maybe... this... "care" is slightly different... General, I hope you can express your condolences..." Damn it, the general master can't be real... can't he? No way!

 The word "care" actually has many meanings.

Perhaps General Cao Chun thought "taking care" meant not letting others get involved? Or maybe he saw that the concubine was not allowed to have **** with Hong Xing, so he simply chopped it up and sent it to him? Or did Cao Chun simply think that Xia Houshang was "hinting" that he could do this?

Who knows?

 After all, even the terms of a contract can be interpreted in many ways, let alone a verbal agreement?

After all, there are still capitalists in the United States who will use the development of the Internet to implement human life functions, enrich social services and business, and in the name of unprecedented changes in human lifestyles. They will use various advertisements on the app to educate those who think they are paying for money. People who have money and have invoices to prove the ownership of their mobile phones, what do you mean by the pervasiveness of capitalism?

Xiahou Shang glared at the guard, and the guard stared at Xiahou Shang.

　No one can understand anyone.

Xia Houshang cried again with a cry of =◇=)/Oh~~~".

 The guards looked around and withdrew silently.

Xiahou Shang cried as he hugged his concubine's head and cried all night.

At this time, even the guards were panicked.

 It’s over now!

As a result, Xia Houshang smelled of blood the next morning and opened his red eyes, saying that Cao Chun had deceived others too much and that he would not be a husband if he did not avenge this!

ah?

The guards Xia Houshang were immediately dumbfounded and looked at each other. It was not clear whether Xia Houshang was too involved in the drama, or if he really thought so, or because of some other situation. However, it was difficult for them to persuade them, and it was not their turn. They came to persuade.

Xia Houshang didn't even change his clothes and went straight to Xinpi with the smell of blood all over his body. "Xin Zhizhang, I know you are still doubting Yu..." Xinpi said with a smile: "How can you say this?" General...』

Xia Houshang interrupted Xinpi's words, waving his arms, and there was a look in his eyes that was difficult for Xinpi to understand, "Now someone is truly surrendering!" Xin Changcheng no longer has to say these perfunctory words! Let’s get the map of Youbei! Everyone knows about Youbei's defense, and now they tell the truth to show their sincerity! 』

“…” Xinpi looked at Xiahou Shang, then nodded slowly and ordered, “Get the map of Youbei! 』

 …

Zhao Yun looked at the defense map of Cao Jun in Youbei marked by Xia Houshang and remained silent.

　　　　This is to tempt us to march. Xin Pi said in a deep voice, "Since Cao Jun already knew that Xia Hou was here, how could he not keep deploying his defenses?" It’s just that changing the defense is not a day’s work, so...』

Even though Xiahou Shang cried to death and was sad to death, Xinbi still didn't believe Xiahou Shang.

 Are you kidding? The death of a concubine is a mortal enemy?

 Is it worth Xiahou Shang's betrayal?

Could it be that Cao Chunyi accidentally killed the wrong person?

 Which relative of Xiahou Shang was killed as a concubine?

But it’s unlikely, after all, those Xiahou Shang’s guards knew that they were Xia Houshang’s concubines...

No matter what Xinpi thinks, he feels that this matter is too messy. Therefore, Xinpi couldn't understand it and felt that Xiahou Shang's behavior was a bit excessive and seemed to go too far.

Even at a certain moment, Xinpi felt that Xia Houshang was showing his true feelings.

 Is it just true love...

What can be counted as?

 There is no true love between Xin Pi himself and his brother Xin Ping?

If we really encounter them on the battlefield, shouldn't we still fight as they should?

 This is true for his own family, so it is difficult for Xinpi to believe why Xiahou Shang would betray him because of his feelings.

Zhao Yun also didn't believe Xia Houshang.

Don't look at any TV dramas and movies from later generations. Zhao Yun has a white horse, white armor and a white spear. He looks so handsome that he can fight in and out of thousands of armies and save beauties in danger. But those are just TV dramas and movies. The screenwriter and director know that there are The **** was so eloquent that she deliberately took pictures like this...

Speaking of which, is this the white horse that is jealous of Zhao Yun, or is it the big gun that is greedy for Zhao Yun?

 But in fact, Zhao Yun doesn't have much sexual interest in things between men and women.

Mr. Luo wrote that someone sent a beautiful woman to Zhao Yun, but Zhao Yun didn't even respond to it and rejected it directly. Although it was somewhat to show Zhao Yun's loyalty, it also showed to a certain extent that Zhao Yun really didn't have any braids in this aspect. You can catch him, unlike Mr. Guan...

 Guan Yu: "Cough cough cough..."

 Hence, it is equally difficult for Zhao Yun to understand Xia Houshang's love for men and women and his grief.

Because of this, Xia Houshang was filled with grief and anger, and was suspected to be all fake...

“The defense plans entered by Xiahou Boren must be true or false..." Xin Pi pointed at the map and said, "The ones near here...should all be true to prevent us from checking...and the latter ones...may be true or false." Even if it is true, a change of defense may be imminent. Therefore, the purpose of Xiahou Boren's presentation of the map is to drive me forward as quickly as possible..."

 In this era, changing the fortified area cannot be like clicking the screen with a mouse, and then letting the troops go from wherever they are, and change to any location. In the actual environment, when troops are stationed, they need to consider factors such as food, logistics and supplies, and they also need to be combined with strategy. It is impossible to throw troops around, so even if Cao Chun knew that Xiahou Shang had defected, he wanted to change Everything also takes a certain amount of time, and this time is the attack window left for Zhao Yun and others.

And severe winter is coming. If it snows, it is likely to snow. If it snows heavily, it means that we have to wait until the spring of next year to start fighting...

Zhao Yun nodded.

  Zhao Yun also mostly agreed with Xin Pi’s judgment.

 As for the small number of people who disagree...

　　　　Cao Zihe is also a man who knows how to fight. ” Zhao Yun gave a comment.

 According to the defense map, Cao Chun deployed three lines of defense around Yuyang, one part to defend Liaodong, one part to target Mobei, and the rest was naturally to defend the northern region. Most of the time, Liaodong has only one Liaoxi corridor, that is, the Shanhaiguan area. However, due to the current situation of the Han Dynasty, there is not that much siltation in the Bohai Bay. If the Shanhaiguan road encounters rain and snow, it will be a nightmare level.

Hence, Liaodong is mainly focused on Lulongsai, which is the defense line around Xifengkou.

 The defense line in Mobei was established in the Gushui and Baoshui areas, with Gubeikou as the center.

 Gubeikou, also known as Shanbeikou.

 For Yuyang, it is the mountain pass to the north.

 Youzhou's defense on the Taihang Mountain side is mainly in the Juyongkou area.

Juyongguan is also called Xiguan and Xikou.

At the earliest, Juyong Pass had a military fort during the Spring and Autumn Period, but it was not until the Ming Dynasty that it became an important pass. Therefore, the current defense of Juyongkou is mainly supported by its Tanikou Military Fortress and Yijing.

 Similarly, through this route, you can also invade the other side of Taihang Mountain...

Zhao Yun stared at Tuyu and thought for a long time.

Xinpi stood aside and waited quietly.

　　"There must be a trap here... After the cavalry drives long, the left and right will join together..."

Zhao Yun suddenly stretched out his hand and made a gesture with his hand somewhere on the map.

In fact, the defense system of Yuyang can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. At that time, the Kingdom of Yanzhao often faced Xiongnu intrusions. After the Qin and Han Dynasties, the area around Yuyang became an important border defense line against the Xiongnu. It consisted of Shanggu County and Yuyang County. , You Beiping County built a defense system to resist the Hu people who came south from Jundu Mountain.

 Therefore, around Yuyang, there are fortifications left from the Spring and Autumn Period, as well as military institutions added later in the Qin and Han Dynasties. These defense structures accumulated over many years together formed a large and complex defense system.

　　　山北口? asked Xinpi.

　　　Well, Shanbeikou. ” Zhao Yun clicked on the map, “There are only a thousand troops stationed at such an important pass? hehe…"

At Gubeikou, around Yuyang City, there are Gaolingzhai, Old Stone City, New City, and several military nodes, all of which are defended by military fortresses or small towns, creating a pocket with depth in the front and back and restrictions on the left and right. …

  It is an encirclement with Gubeikou as the mouth of the pocket and Yuyang as the bottom of the pocket.

From the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, piers and fortifications were built at Gubeikou. In order to prevent the Huns from the north from invading and disturbing the border, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che ordered the defenders to build a city and deploy troops at Gubeikou, making Gubeikou a battleground for repeated battles between the Han and the Huns.

To the north of Gubeikou, there is the Yan Great Wall. However, since the Yan Great Wall was rarely repaired after the Western Han Dynasty, it was mostly damaged.

 The Gushui forward camp where Xiahou Shang was stationed was at Gubeikou.

Hence, Xiahou Shang is familiar with the defense of Gubeikou.

 Zhao Yun's gaze extended to other directions, but quickly turned back.

 Because it is true that only the Gubeikou road is more suitable.

To the east of Gubeikou, there is Xifengkou, also known as Lulongsai, or Songting Pass, but this passage is too far for Zhao Yun and others. Moreover, Lulongsai has always been an important military fortress in the Han Dynasty. The defense system and facilities are complete, but it is not easy to fight.

In the other direction, going west, you have to bypass Yanshan Mountain before you can go to Juyongkou.

The military fortress at Juyongkou is of course not as good as Lulongsai, but both the difficulty of climbing over Yanshan Mountain and the distance to go around are a big hassle, and the terrain at Juyongkou is even more difficult than at Gubeikou. It is steep, with sheer cliffs between the two mountains. If you are not careful, you will be blocked in the valley.

 Zhao Yun touched the beard on his chin, "Since we can't distinguish between true and false, and time is tight... If one person's words are used, it will put thousands of troops in danger, which is very unwise." This matter can be reported to the lord quickly. It is recommended to use this map to investigate more and wait until the time is right before marching. 』

 What reason is there to enter at this time?

Since you know it’s a pocket, why do you have to dig into it?

 Is it because Xiahou Shang’s concubine died?

“In addition,” Zhao Yun said, “Xiahou said that barbarians appeared in the land of Gushui... Where did these barbarians come from? Could it be that something happened again in the Northern Desert? Is there any news about Junyi? 』

Xinpi shook his head, then frowned slightly, "Captain, it seems that when I inspected the military fortress in the north, I also encountered some Mobei Husbands... Could it be these Husbands?" 』

Zhao Yun nodded, "Send an order to Jun Yi to investigate and report quickly!" 』

 The opponent is indeed dominated by Cao Jun, but the changes in the surrounding areas cannot be underestimated!

Zhao Yun’s nature and cautious habits are fully demonstrated at this moment...
