Chapter 19: Fire at the city gate affects Lu Bu
When Cao Cao saw Xiahou Dun's miserable appearance and heard Xiahou Yuan's description of the scene at that time, he could not help but have red eyes and tears in his eyes.
He dismounted from his horse, half-knelt in front of Xiahou Dun, and with trembling hands, closed Xiahou Dun's angry right eye.
"Yuan Rang..."
He whispered.
"I will definitely avenge you!!"
Cao Cao was really heartbroken at this time.
On the one hand, Xiahou Dun has a close relationship with him.
On the other hand, Xiahou Dun was extremely brave and strategic. After being trained, he became an extremely outstanding general who could lead troops and fight alone.
But the result was lost here...
Cao Ren and Cao Hong were furious and both asked for a fight to kill Hua Xiong.
Cao Cao also stood up and said: "It would be ungentlemanly if I don't take revenge for this!
Come on, follow me to Sishui Pass!"
When Cao Cao said this, 70% of it was because he really wanted to avenge Xiahou Dun.
Two points because his identity was there, Cao Hong and Ren were here to ask for a fight, Xiahou Yuan was crying and kneeling in front of him, so he had to make this decision.
There is another minute, which is to calculate the time. Hua Xiong must have returned to Sishui Pass by now.
If I lead my troops to chase them now, I won't encounter any danger.
Hua Xiong is also a human being, and his soldiers are not made of iron.
Having just won a battle, it is unlikely that they will send out troops again under such circumstances.
Moreover, he can also call on Gongsun Zan.
As a result, it was at this time that Cao Cao heard the news of the death of Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin.
My heart suddenly skipped a beat.
This news was quite a shock to him.
The Prime Minister of Jibei is a lord of a town. Moreover, among the eighteen lords, he is the most capable military commander and his personal martial arts skills are also very good.
But now, he died just like that...
Cao Cao's idea of leading his troops to Sishui Pass suddenly disappeared and was no longer as strong.
But now the situation had come to a head and he had already said it, so there was no way he could not go.
I had no choice but to go ahead.
Moreover, he could not show any embarrassment on his face and still looked extremely angry.
Hua Xiong, with such a record, can't dare to send troops again...
Cao Cao thought so in his heart, encouraging himself and comforting himself.
"My lord, there is no need to go."
It was at this time that a voice was heard.
Cao Cao looked and saw that the person who spoke was Xiahou Yuan, with some tear marks on his face.
"My brother desperately entangled Hua Xiong, asked me to leave, and told me that I didn't need to seek revenge against him.
He also said that Hua Xiong could not be defeated by force and could only be defeated by wits.
This is said to me, and also to you, my lord.
The thief Hua Xiong is indeed ferocious.
Why is my brother fighting so hard?
Isn't it because you don't want us to be killed by Hua Xiong?
There are not many soldiers here, so we still need to make long-term plans.
Don’t just be reckless…”
Xiahou Yuan said this with tears in his eyes.
The whole person looked like he had grown up a lot and became different.
Cao Cao stood here in silence for a while, then took off his cloak and covered Xiahou Dun with it.
Then he found a rope, carried Xiahou Dun on his back, and rode on his warhorse.
"go back!!"
He let out a loud roar, turned his horse around and headed towards the camp.
Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong and others followed with their troops, all with traces of tears...
Hua Xiong waited here for a long time, but no one came to pursue him. Finally, he had no choice but to lead his troops out of the ambush and rush to Sishui Pass.
"Gongsun Zan and his people are really cowards."
Walking on the road, Hua Xiong waved the three-pointed double-edged sword in his hand and muttered...
Yu Jin was still tied up and carried on the back of a warhorse.
Gongsun Zan's Baima Yicong never caught up with him, and he felt quite regretful.
I think Hua Xiong may have escaped disaster because of this.
However, thinking about Hua Xiong's terrifying fighting power, and the fact that Hua Xiong chose to ambush Gongsun Zan even though he knew that Gongsun Zan's White Horse Volunteers would most likely come, it makes sense that Gongsun Zan might have escaped.
This battle never happened. Yu Jin thought for a while and felt that if Gongsun Zan led the White Horse Volunteers to fight against Hua Xiong, the outcome would be fifty-fifty...
Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan and others returned to their respective camps.
After the news of the battle spread, everyone's hearts sank.
Especially the death of Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin made Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Kong Rong, Zhang Chao, Tao Qian, Qiao Mao and other princes feel heavy and awe-inspiring, as if they were mourning the death of a rabbit.
For a moment, they felt that Hua Xiong was like the Sishui Pass, standing in their hearts.
"Hua Xiong was so strong that five men could not defeat him alone, but he was able to kill Bao Xin and Cao Mengde's generals.
If Gongsun Zan had not arrived in time with his troops to provide support and scared Hua Xiong away, the remaining three would have died at the hands of Hua Xiong.
There are no less than 7,000 soldiers and horses in total, and most of them will be killed..."
"If you meet Hua Xiong again, remember not to fight him alone.
There must be five or more generals to surround and beat him up!"
Kong Rong, the famous scholar in the world and the prefect of Beihai, was famous for giving away his pears to others. He always talked about the gentlemanly demeanor. At this moment, he did not talk about whether he was a gentleman or not.
He directly proposed this rogue style of play.
The rest of the princes were also prominent figures of status. After hearing Kong Rong's words, they all nodded in agreement.
“It’s not just Huaxiong.
I heard that Hua Xiong was not the most powerful general under Dong Zhuo, the most powerful general was Lu Bu.
Hua Xiong has such combat power and is so difficult to deal with. Lu Bu is even stronger than Hua Xiong, so I'm afraid he will be even more difficult to deal with.
This approach also needs to be extended to Lu Bu.
And the specifications are higher than Huaxiong's.
In the future, if we encounter Lu Bu in battle, we will need at least seven generals to attack together!"
Inspired by Kong Rong, Tao Qian quickly added something.
When the princes heard Tao Qian's words, they all nodded in agreement and kept them firmly in mind.
After witnessing Hua Xiong's power, their vigilance towards Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo's top general, reached its peak!
