Chapter 196 Xia Houyuan's Decision
"Uncle, although the [-]% chance is not very high, my nephew is willing to take the risk!" Xia Houshang would always express his opinion at certain inappropriate times.
And every time he opened his mouth to express his opinion, it would usually cause Xia Houyuan's dissatisfaction. It seemed that this had become a norm, and this time was no exception.
Xia Houyuan said angrily: "What are you trying to do, there are so many soldiers in the city, are you the only one with such courage?
I brought you here, not to let you die here!If I really buried you here, how should I explain to your father! "
Xia Houyuan's words, although on the surface they were teaching Xia Houshang a lesson, were more for other people to hear.
Especially when he mentioned that there were other generals in the city, his tone instantly rose to a higher level.
And just after Xia Houyuan released his anger, Yang Xiu, who witnessed the whole process with his own eyes, stood up again as if he had some mission on his shoulders.
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask the general to appease his anger. I really admire Mr. Shang for having such courage, but what the General said is true, there is some truth to it!
Now, Mr. Shang is injured, and the soldiers under his command have just suffered a crushing defeat.If at this time, Mr. Shang is recommended, it is really inappropriate! "
Yang Xiu's words are unavoidably a bit vague, and from his statement, it seems that he also has the idea of wanting to recommend other generals, but he didn't make this sentence too clear !
"Yang Xiu, according to your opinion, who in Hanzhong City can take on this burden?"
Xia Houshang's request was rejected, and Yang Xiu stood on the same front as Xia Houyuan.So Xia Houshang directly addressed this issue and asked Yang Xiu.
"This one……"
Yang Xiu pretended to be hesitant and faltered, but was unable to answer for a long time.
"Master Yang, you recommended this strategy to your uncle. Since you think this strategy is feasible, you should have found a suitable candidate long ago, right?"
Xia Houshang obviously meant to make things difficult for Yang Xiu on purpose. Since Yang Xiu and Xia Houyuan stood on the same front, Xia Houshang naturally stood on the opposite side of Yang Xiu.
Even at this time, he put all his complaints about Xia Houyuan on Yang Xiu.
And making things difficult at this time was just a manifestation of his resentment.
After being silent for a long time, Yang Xiu knew that this matter was unavoidable, so he had no choice but to answer hard.
"Mr. Shang's doubts are not unreasonable, as Mr. Shang said, this strategy is indeed proposed by me!
According to Mr. Shang's thinking, maybe Mr. Shang thinks that I should have this responsibility to recommend suitable candidates for the general!
But in fact, the implementation of this strategy has no requirements on the implementer at all!And this means that as long as they are courageous soldiers, they can implement this strategy! "
Yang Xiu's words were not so much an answer as an excuse.
Even though he was confronted with Xia Houshang's questioning, Yang Xiu would also not do the stupid thing of choosing someone at random as a substitute for a dead ghost.
And just after Yang Xiu answered Xia Houshang's question, the way Xia Houyuan looked at Yang Xiu seemed to have changed a little.
"Yang Xiu, I decided not to consider this matter for the time being, so you can think of other ways for us!" Xia Houyuan said.
"General, the current situation is extremely unfavorable for our army! And there are very few strategies for defeating the enemy!
Now, all I can think of is to help the general evacuate Hanzhong safely, but as for the idea of defeating Liu Bei and reoccupying Hanzhong, I really can't help the general complete it! "
"We came from thousands of miles away and led an army of hundreds of thousands to occupy Hanzhong, but we left in a hurry before we could stand firmly on our feet, and in the process, we lost our troops and were in a terrible state of embarrassment!
I really can't imagine how to face the prime minister after returning to the capital! "
Just when Xia Houyuan was deep in thought because of Yang Xiu's words, Xia Houshang at the side suddenly said something, which made the generals present even more important.
"Mr. Shang, the current situation simply does not allow us to think about these things! What's more, I am willing to believe that the Prime Minister will understand General Xiahou's difficulties..."
"Yang Xiu! I know the prime minister's temper best! Shang'er is right. If we retreat in such a mess, then the prime minister will definitely punish us for the crime of ineffectiveness. And in the end, I want to Bi is also the result of death!
Therefore, the general decided to stick to Hanzhong City, and sent an urgent report to the prime minister for help. I expected that as long as we can hold on for two months, then the prime minister's reinforcements will directly surround and suppress Liu Bei and others in this Hanzhong territory! "
Even he himself was unwilling to believe the decision Xia Houyuan made at this time.
But even so, he still forced himself to make this decision.
Because he knew that if he withdrew his troops to withdraw from Hanzhong now, first of all, he would have no way to explain to Cao Cao, and in addition, he might get himself killed!
So rather than die in the hands of Cao Cao and bear the infamy of a defeated general, it would be better to defend Hanzhong City to the last moment, in exchange for the honor of a heroic death.
And when Xia Houyuan made this decision, the whole palace was quiet, except for Xia Houshang, the faces of the other generals were all full of sorrow.
Yang Xiu, on the other hand, was even more frowning, with a sad face.
The next day, in Du Huo's big tent.
"My lord, Cao Jun in Hanzhong City has been harassing our troops since yesterday!
Up to now, hundreds of soldiers in our battalion have been killed or injured. Judging from what they mean, the general guesses that they may want to start a war with our army! "
At the end of the big tent, Wei Yan reported to Du Huo with a gloomy expression while holding his sword.
"Have you ever encountered something like Wenchang?"
After listening to Wei Yan's complaint, Du Huo asked the rest of the generals.
"The last general has never encountered..."
"There is no last general..."
As a result, after questioning, it was learned that only Wei Yan's headquarters was attacked by Cao Jun yesterday, and only Wei Yan's headquarters suffered losses.
Regarding this result, Wei Yan felt even more annoyed, as if those Cao troops had come specifically for him.
"My lord, Cao Jun's surprise attack on our army killed and injured hundreds of people in our army. In your opinion, how should we solve this matter?" Wei Yan asked resentfully.
"The reason for Cao Jun's attack is not yet clear, perhaps this matter will only be known after investigation!
As for the loss of your department, I will naturally ask Cao Jun to give you an explanation after the matter is investigated in the coming day! " Duho replied.
