Chapter 20: Yuan Shao: I have sent people to recruit Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and they will surely kill Hua Xiong
"Meng De, my condolences."
Yuan Shao looked at Cao Cao and spoke to comfort him.
He knew that the relationship between Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun was not as simple as that between an ordinary lord and a general, but that the two were relatives.
He and Cao Cao were childhood friends, and he was also the leader of the coalition.
In the past, when he was working with General He Jin, Cao Cao had helped him a lot. Now that Cao Cao had suffered a defeat, it was very necessary for him to come and take a look.
"Winning and losing are common in the military. If you want to kill others, you must be prepared to be killed. Benchu, don't worry about me."
Yuan Shao was the leader of the coalition forces, and in front of outsiders, Cao Cao always respectfully addressed Yuan Shao as the leader.
However, this was a private matter at the time, and given his relationship with Yuan Shao, there was no need for him to call him leader of the alliance.
Otherwise, it would seem a bit distant.
Cao Cao's reaction made Yuan Shao, who came with a sad face, stunned.
This was really beyond his expectations.
After a moment of silence, a smile appeared on his face.
"I knew you, Meng De, would not be defeated by a failure."
Cao Cao pointed to the cushion on the ground, motioning Yuan Shao to sit down and talk, and he sat down too.
Cao Cao did not choose to kneel, but sat casually on the cushion with his legs crossed.
Sitting like this is comfortable, but it seems impolite and has no image.
Yuan Shao took a look at Cao Cao's sitting posture and felt contempt for him in his heart.
He can't learn from Cao Cao.
He immediately straightened his clothes and knelt on the cushion in front of him, with his upper body straight and upright, looking like a gentleman.
“…I never thought that this Hua Xiong villain would be so powerful.
But Meng De doesn't need to feel too bad.
I have already sent someone to mobilize my two generals, Yan Liang and Wen Chou.
With these two coming, no matter how brave Hua Xiong is, he will not be able to escape death!
When the time comes, they will carry Hua Xiong's head to pay tribute to Yuan Rang and the other soldiers who died at Hua Xiong's hands."
After talking with Cao Cao for a while, Yuan Shao told him how to deal with Hua Xiong.
When talking about his generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou, Yuan Shao seemed very confident.
When Cao Cao heard the news, he was not too moved.
The truth is that during this period of time, many generals were killed by Hua Xiong.
Pan Feng, the unrivaled general under Han Fu, Zu Mao, the general under Sun Jian, Yu She, the general under Yuan Shu, and the horse archer named Guan Yu who was extremely powerful... all were killed one after another at the hands of Hua Xiong.
Today, five people besieged Hua Xiong. Among the thousands of soldiers, Hua Xiong still killed two of them, and then led his troops and left calmly...
At this time, Cao Cao really didn't dare to believe in any general who could kill Hua Xiong.
As if he had seen through Cao Cao's thoughts, Yuan Shao said, "Meng De, my generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou are real generals.
These two are truly capable, and cannot be compared to the rest of the people who are just famous for nothing..."
Cao Cao nodded and said, "I believe what Benchu said, and I know that Yan Liang and Wen Chou are not ordinary generals.
However, Hua Xiong may not have an easy time this time."
Yuan Shao seemed a little surprised when he heard this. Hua Xiong had won consecutive victories this time and blocked them outside Sishui Pass by himself. The evil Dong Zhuo might not have rewarded him in time, and Hua Xiong was about to have the most glorious moment of his life, so how could he not have a good time?
Thinking of this, a thought occurred to him: "Could it be that Hua Xiong was injured in the battle?"
As he said this, he couldn't help but look at Cao Cao who was sitting cross-legged, and he felt his legs going numb.
I really want to sit cross-legged like Cao Cao.
Such a thought arose, but he quickly dismissed it.
He is a descendant of aristocracy, the leader of the Yuan family, a family of three generations of officials, and a role model for the world. How could he be as careless about his image as Cao Cao?
But...my legs really don't feel good...
Cao Cao shook his head and said, “I have never heard that Hua Xiong was injured, but the matter is more serious than him being injured.
Some of Bao Xin's surviving soldiers said that Li Su, who was the first to rob Bao Xin's camp, roared several times before being killed by Bao Xin's general Yu Jin, and the person who killed him was Hua Xiong.
Many people heard it at that time.
Li Su was Hua Xiong's deputy general and was from Bingzhou.
Hua Xiong was born in Liangzhou.
From this, it can be seen that under Dong Zhuo, there was no harmony between Liangzhou and Bingzhou.
Li Su’s death may be related to Hua Xiong, or it may have nothing to do with Hua Xiong.
But no matter whether it is related or not, at this point, it has become related. "
When Yuan Shao heard this, his eyes lit up.
But then he shook his head and said, "Hua Xiong is an old general under Dong Zhuo, and he has made many achievements in this battle. Even if something really happened during this period, Dong Zhuo would definitely not kill Hua Xiong."
Having said this, he couldn't help but look at Cao Cao's crossed legs again.
I felt more and more that my legs were getting uncomfortable as I kneeled here.
No, no, I am a famous scholar and the leader of the coalition. I need to be dignified. How can I be like Cao Cao...
But... sitting cross-legged like Cao Cao is really comfortable...
He turned his head and looked around, and found that besides Cao Cao and himself, the only person left was Xiahou Dun, who was lying in a coffin with one eye missing.
No one else.
I also recalled that when I was young, I had secretly watched widows bathing with Yuan Shu and Cao Aman...
Yuan Shao quickly threw aside his aristocratic demeanor and followed Cao Cao's example, sitting cross-legged.
The moment I sat down cross-legged, I felt my legs were very comfortable.
"This is an opportunity. We may be able to take advantage of it to do something to bring about a fight between Lu Bu and Hua Xiong.
After all, Li Su is from Bingzhou.
Even if the fire is not put out, we can still make some arrangements to transfer Hua Xiong away from Sishui Pass.
As long as Hua Xiong is transferred away, it will be much easier to deal with Sishui Pass..."
Cao Cao looked at Yuan Shao and said this, as if he had not seen what he did.
After hearing this, Yuan Shao thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "It is indeed a good idea, but it is a bit troublesome to implement it. But we can do it this way..."
As he spoke, he and Cao Cao began to discuss specific actions here...
As they were discussing, they suddenly heard footsteps coming quickly.
Yuan Shao instantly jumped up, resumed his kneeling position, and quickly straightened his clothes...
Cao Hong appeared in his field of vision and saw Yuan Shao looking flustered and adjusting his clothes.
He originally wanted to speak, but when he saw this scene, he was speechless for a moment.
He looked at his brother, then at Yuan Shao, and then at the coffin of Xiahou Dun placed not far away, and felt his mind a little confused.
This... is he and Yuan Rang keeping vigil for Brother?
"What is it?"
Yuan Shao felt a little embarrassed by Cao Hong's strange look, knowing that Cao Hong had seen him sitting cross-legged without caring about his image.
He immediately asked before Cao Cao could, hoping to break the uncomfortable atmosphere...
