Chapter 371 Xiahou Yuanrang's Path to Dual Cultivation
"We're finally here! It feels so good to step on the ground!" Hua Xiong exclaimed sincerely as he stepped on the ground.
Taking a boat is not an easy job. The Xiliang army is basically the worst landlubbers and is really insensitive to the sea. If they didn't control gravity, they would have vomited to death.
But after looking at the endless sea for so long, he finally felt a little depressed. When he stepped on the ground again, he felt the familiar feeling.
Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan had the same feeling. Life on the sea was not a life for human beings. Eating fish every day almost made them vomit.
"You three, I'll drop you off right here!"
Gan Ning clasped his fists towards the three men, and then the fleet turned around and returned the same way. There were still some big troubles at sea that had not been resolved.
"They have worked so hard!" Xiahou Yuan felt a little emotional. They had been in Qingzhou for two days and their worldviews were challenged in many ways.
There are all kinds of monsters in the sea. I heard that they are called Shikigami in Japan. In his opinion, they are just a bunch of monsters and demons, not really gods.
He also personally killed several guys who claimed to be gods. They were all at the level of internal energy leaving their bodies, but the combat effectiveness they exerted was pitifully low, just like an ordinary person who was infused with internal energy.
However, they soon became not very good at naval warfare, and could only stay on a certain ship to give legion talents to the soldiers, and then kill the shikigami who dared to jump onto the ship.
After Hua Xiong arrived, Huangfu Song gave them two melee legions and told them to get out, and also equipped them with two hundred elite soldiers and five hundred long water battalions.
One is the Zhonglei Camp and the other is the Huben Camp.
After all, it was a battle to defend the city, so hand-to-hand combat was the main strategy. After Juyongguan was captured by the Hu people, there was absolutely nothing left. In the absence of logistics, other types of troops could not hold on at all.
The paired Wubai Changshui also discovered the Cloud Arrow, but after Huangfu Song discovered that the Cloud Arrow he discovered was completely different from the Cloud Arrow Ju Yi discovered, he immediately adjusted the direction of training and only kept Wubai as the research subject.
It just so happened that Xiahou Dun had a unique talent and was quite suitable, so Huangfu Song handed it over to Xiahou Dun and asked Xiahou Dun to help him with the test.
As for the sharp soldiers, they were used as scouts for them. Combined with Xiahou Yuan's super speed talent, they would definitely be able to occupy Juyong Pass without anyone noticing.
This is also the most suitable general that Jia Xu quickly selected from all the intelligence, and can also achieve his desired goal to the greatest extent.
According to Jia Xu's idea, a large number of soldiers should be transferred from Qingzhou to garrison in Youzhou, and then the elite troops in Youzhou should be selected to attack Goryeo.
Unfortunately, Qingzhou was also attacked by Japan.
It can't be said to be a big trouble, but the Shikigami monsters scattered all over the coastline forced Qingzhou to dispatch a large number of soldiers to patrol the coast.
However, Jia Xu was not worried about this. With the old man Huangfu Song in Qingzhou, and with Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and others, the trouble in Qingzhou would not be a big deal.
Maybe one day the big Kun will come back and all these troubles will disappear.
In comparison, Goryeo, which borders Youzhou, is a major concern. The Han Dynasty cannot tolerate a neighbor. After spending hundreds of years defeating the Northern Xiongnu neighbor, they do not want to have a second neighbor.
Especially since this neighbor dared to attack them actively. If they don't give them a good beating, what if he joins the Northern Huns in causing trouble in the spring of next year?
As for alliances, they were not within the consideration of Jia Xu at all, or even within the consideration of any wise man of the Han Dynasty.
Their idea was to defeat Goryeo and do as they had done to the Dayuezhi before, and they did not dare to interfere in the fight between the Han Dynasty and the Northern Xiongnu.
Jia Xu even thought about dealing with the Northern Huns first and then dealing with Goryeo. After all, it was a piece of land that could give birth to a kingdom.
It would have been fine if they hadn't discovered it before, but now that they have discovered it, of course they have to take it. It is such a waste to give so much land to Goryeo, so let the Han Dynasty take over this land.
Under the leadership of brothers Hua Xiong and Xiahou, the three legions successfully avoided the eyes and ears of the Xianbei and Hu people, entered Jundu Mountain from outside the pass, and then easily captured Juyong Pass which was defended by only a small number of troops.
At Juyong Pass, the Xiahou brothers are actively setting up defenses. The last battle in Youzhou will definitely be the Xianbei returning north and a bloody battle at Juyong Pass.
This was something Jia Xu had already said in the order he had delivered, so naturally they had to be alert and make arrangements early. If something went wrong, they would be too ashamed to face anyone.
"Brother Xiahou, I have a bold idea." Hua Xiong laughed and put his hand on Xiahou Dun's shoulder.
"I know you want to go to Changping!" Xiahou Dun gave Hua Xiong a look, "But, that's impossible. You know the order given by Doctor Jia."
Hua Xiong disagreed. Jia Xu was not Li Ru. If it were Li Ru, he would say nothing, but Jia Xu's words were greatly discounted.
Besides, he had completed what Jia Xu asked him to do, so he had to deal with the next thing on his own. As the saying goes, a general is not always subject to the orders of his king when he is away from the court.
"The Xianbei have not received the news that we have captured Juyongguan. As long as you brothers garrison here well, there will be no problem!" Hua Xiong said seriously in a rare moment.
"Oh!" Xiahou Dun said indifferently, neither supporting nor opposing.
"Hehe, since you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent." Hua Xiong shamelessly took advantage of the situation and jumped down from Juyong Pass with Feixiong, galloping towards the distance.
"Brother, are you just going to let him go like this?"
Xiahou Yuan looked at Xiahou Dun in confusion. It wouldn't be a big problem for them to defend the city with only their two troops, but Xiahou Dun let Hua Xiong slip away so easily, which was not like Xiahou Dun's usual style.
"Doctor Jia only sent General Hua here to prevent us from failing to capture Juyong Pass. Now that Juyong Pass has been captured, there is little benefit in keeping him guarding the city. It is better to let him go to cause trouble. Maybe he can even get a surprise call."
Xiahou Dun analyzed expressionlessly. Xiahou Yuan was a little confused, but he always listened to Xiahou Dun, so he didn't say much.
"Miaocai, take people to dig some traps under Juyong Pass, the more the better."
Xiahou Yuan was even more confused, but he still obediently took his men out to quarry stones and dig pits in preparation.
Xiahou Dun sighed. Since there were no friendly troops, he could just dig some big pits in front of Juyong Pass to delay the progress of the Hu people's siege. Anyway, these Hu people would definitely not have enough food by then, and delaying it for two or three days would be enough for the Hu people to collapse due to internal strife.
He looked at the sky with melancholy. He originally thought that there was no future for the path of a military commander, so he switched to the path of a wise man. Unexpectedly, there was even less future for him as a wise man.
With his brain, he had even tried to cultivate dual cultivation. If it weren't for Jiuding's push, it's not known whether his spiritual talent could be developed, and his legion talent would definitely have collapsed.
As the greatest general of Cao Wei in official history (with the highest official position), and also the elder brother of Cao Cao and others since childhood, Xiahou Dun always felt that he should be a cultured person. However, in order to protect his brothers when he was a child, he had no choice but to embark on the path of hand-to-hand combat.
After being beaten up by Lu Bu and witnessing the outrageous strength of Zhao Yun, Guan Yu and others, he decisively gave up martial arts and turned to literature, intending to pursue his dream of becoming a wise man.
It just so happened that Lu Zhi was a great scholar who was proficient in military strategy. With the help of Cao Cao's relationship, Xiahou Dun became Lu Zhi's disciple and began to learn literature.
It has to be said that he is very talented. He is only one step away from spiritual sublimation and condensing his spiritual talent, but the legion talent is blocking his spiritual talent cultivation.
Just when he was struggling, Jiuding Zhucheng gave him a push, and he perfectly achieved the dual cultivation path that even Zhou Yu could not imagine.
Moreover, even some of his legion talents had their attributes modified. The original ability to fight to the death has now become a similar effect to rage, and his strength will increase as his injuries worsen.
The effect of his legion talent complements his spiritual talent, and it can even be said that his spiritual talent modifies his legion talent.
The effect of his spiritual talent can probably be summarized as fortune or misfortune at any time, and what you can gain when you lose something.
Lu Zhi called it the accumulation of costs, which roughly means that the more times Xiahou Dun gets unlucky, the more other things he can do. If he loses enough, maybe he can realize his wish.
Although Xiahou Dun didn't feel very good, it had already been condensed, and he didn't have the ability to change it, so he could only make do with it.
But at least the effect was very good. He made several wishes and they all came true, and the only price he paid was some injuries.
He didn't understand the deeper things, and Lu Zhi couldn't give him any good advice. He just suggested that he shouldn't rely too much on his talent. After all, it's a double-edged sword no matter how you look at it. Don't wish for world peace one day and then get destroyed by a nuclear weapon.
"Let me think, what can we get in exchange for losing Hua Xiong as reinforcement?"
Xiahou Dun thought sadly that every wish he made was a gamble, and if he didn't have enough chips, he could only repay with his own body. But overall it was still good, at least he now had more options.
"I hope I can have my own legion!" After thinking about it, Xiahou Dun made a more realistic wish.
Although they belong to the group that has been semi-hidden, Zhang He and Gao Lan belong to the group that has been hidden, but from his current wise vision, they will return to the court sooner or later, but they need to make some achievements.
So what achievement could be more direct than defeating foreign enemies?
After defeating this group of Hu people, he will be almost qualified to lead an army independently, and it should not be difficult for him to have his own legion by then.
After all, with his talent, the best way is for him to train a group of troops that are more suitable for him.
The Zhonglei Camp and the like are not easy to use at all. The Tunqi under Lu Zhi are not bad, but unfortunately their upper and lower limits are as unpredictable as his talent. He doesn't want to end up getting killed by them one day.
It is more reliable to train a dedicated legion by yourself.
