Chapter 62: Cao Cao's Scheme for Hua Xiong
Yuan Shao was verbally bullying Yuan Shu, and he really wanted to get angry and take his troops to chase Hua Xiong.
However, thinking of Hua Xiong's recent overly dazzling and frightening record, he suppressed his anger and calmed himself.
"It's true that they obey my orders, but they also respect you as the leader. You are the one in charge, so you should be most responsible.
Since you have made a decision on this matter, I will obey it. I can't let people accuse me, Yuan Gonglu, of acting recklessly.
So as to avoid being criticized!
I also want to see the power of the two generals under Alliance Leader Yuan.
If I kill Hua Xiong now, wouldn't that make the generals under Yuan Alliance Leader useless?"
After Yuan Shu finished speaking, he did not delay and led his troops away, not giving Yuan Shao the opportunity to continue to attack him.
Looking at Yuan Shu riding away on his horse, Yuan Shao really wanted to point at his nose and make sarcastic remarks about him.
But there were many people here at the moment, and he was concerned about his identity and image, so he had to endure it all...
When the troops returned to the camp, Yuan Shao gathered everyone together to talk about this matter.
After learning that Hua Xiong had broken into Tao Qian's camp last night and killed Liu Sandao, the best general under Tao Qian, with a sword.
On the way back, they met Sun Jian who led troops to intercept them. After that, they killed Sun Jian and his two generals Huang Gai and Cheng Pu in battle. Everyone was shocked!
Some famous scholars such as Kong Rong and Han Fu could not even hold their wine bowls steadily.
I originally thought that even though Hua Xiong was strong, he still had a limit. But now it seems that I was wrong.
This guy is ridiculously strong...
"This thief Hua Xiong is, after all, a reckless man!
It can only rush around recklessly, but if we use some tricks, we will definitely be able to capture and kill it!
By then, I will definitely cut a piece of its meat and roast it over charcoal fire to eat with wine!"
After drinking a few bowls of wine, Kong Rong gained courage. Not only did his hands stop shaking, but he even slammed the table so hard that it made a loud noise.
When Cao Cao asked what strategy was used, Kong Rong was vague and refused to elaborate.
It means that Hua Xiong needs to be defeated with wisdom. This crude and barbaric man can be eliminated without any sophisticated strategies...
Kong Ju, the governor of Yuzhou, was also a famous scholar. He was appointed as the governor of Yuzhou by Dong Zhuo on the advice of Shangshu Zhou Bi, City Gate Captain Wu Qiong and others.
"This thief Hua Xiong is a barbarian from the border area, a common man from Xiliang!
He is ungrateful and has accepted the Han Dynasty’s kindness in vain. This treacherous and evil person will not last long…”
Kong Jun was not only angry when drinking, but also drunk. After drinking a few bowls of wine, his face was red and he cursed at Hua Xiong...
Hua Xiong has put a lot of pressure on these princes, which has made them feel heavy-hearted over the past few days.
After drinking some wine and with the help of others, the atmosphere became lively.
Jizhou Governor Han Fu, Guangling Prefect Zhang Chao and others spoke out and cursed Hua Xiong in extremely harsh words.
Some people are well-educated and their rhetoric is very ornate.
After sitting here for a while, Cao Cao drank the wine in the bowl, put down the bowl , stood up, and walked out without saying a word.
After walking for a while, he leaned casually against a leafless tree trunk, staring into the distance in a daze.
"Why did Meng De come out?"
A voice was heard. It turned out that after Yuan Shao saw Cao Cao coming out, he followed him out after a while.
Cao Cao leaned against the tree trunk and sighed.
“It’s boring, all he knows is to curse and say some big words.
When asked about the strategy, he couldn't say anything.
Can Hua Xiong be killed just by drinking and cursing?
He also said that Hua Xiong was just a stupid man.
Such a foolish man has left us here helpless and killed two of our princes and many soldiers.
If this is the case, then aren't we even more foolish?"
Yuan Shao looked at Cao Cao leaning against the tree and frowned secretly, thinking that Cao Cao was very unmannerly.
He came and stood beside Cao Cao, his body straight, and even before he spoke, his aristocratic aura naturally emanated from him.
"Alas, let's not talk about these people."
Yuan Shao couldn't help but sigh.
Many people come, but not many can really get things done or offer advice.
There is also Yuan Shu, a guy who likes to contradict himself.
It gives me a headache just thinking about it.
"Those people in Luoyang are useless. When Li Su was dying, he shouted those words. It was a great opportunity.
It would be fine if they couldn’t use this to get rid of Hua Xiong, but in the end they couldn’t even transfer Hua Xiong away from Sishui Pass…”
Cao Cao heard this and said, "That's normal, after all, Hua Xiong is Dong Zhuo's old subordinate.
Let them try harder, maybe there will be some effect.
But don't hold out too much hope.
We still need to think of more solutions here.
They don’t have soldiers and horses, so it’s hard to do anything.”
Upon hearing this, Yuan Shao nodded, indicating his agreement with Cao Cao's words.
"Wait for our generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou to arrive, and then we will arrange some other measures. If Hua Xiong dares to be so arrogant again, we will kill him!"
Yuan Shao had great confidence in Yan Liang and Wen Chou before.
But now, after Hua Xiong killed Sun Jian, his confidence was not as strong as before.
But at this point, even if he is not that confident, he needs to act confident.
Therefore, apart from this, facing the tall and sturdy Sishui Pass, the brave and invincible Hua Xiong, and his Xiliang cavalry who moved like the wind, he had no other better solution.
Yuan Shao has been traveling on horseback since last night because of Hua Xiong's raid on his camp.
After standing here and talking with Cao Cao for a while, I began to feel sleepy.
Seeing Cao Cao leaning lazily against the tree, I felt extremely comfortable and was very envious.
But after remembering the last time he changed from kneeling to cross-legged sitting and was caught by Cao Hong , Yuan Shao forced himself to suppress this idea.
"Benchu, I have some ideas. When your two generals arrive, we may be able to do this..."
Cao Cao's voice sounded, and Yuan Shao listened carefully...
