Chapter 7 Let the Bullets Fly for a While
"Welcome back victorious governor!"
Li Su looked at Hua Xiong and bowed to greet him respectfully, just like before.
At the same time, he was secretly observing Hua Xiong.
Hua Xiong was also secretly watching Li Su at this time.
He was no longer the rough and timid Hua Xiong, and he knew that his previous incarnation had died of poisoning on horseback, so it was most likely that he had been killed by Li Su.
At this time, I watched secretly and found some clues.
Li Su's behavior and words seemed to be the same as before.
However, one can see his unnaturalness from some subtle details.
Especially when he just saw him.
If it were according to the temperament of his predecessor, after realizing all this, he would definitely curse at Li Su, asking Li Su why he wanted to harm him, and then he would directly take action and chop Li Su to death!
But Hua Xiong would not do that at this time.
Killing Li Su directly would be a relief, but it would also cause a series of troubles.
Li Su's position in Dong Zhuo's army was not too low. He was the General of the Tiger Guards.
Moreover, they were from the same hometown as Lu Bu, both from Bingzhou, and had a close relationship.
The people from Bingzhou, especially Lu Bu, were brought here by Dong Zhuo by giving him fine horses and gold and silver.
After Lu Bu surrendered with Ding Yuan's head in his arms, he was directly made a marquis by Dong Zhuo.
This shows how much importance Dong Zhuo attached to it.
At this time, the strongest armies in the world were the three border armies of Liangzhou, Bingzhou, and Youzhou.
In addition, there were the Danyang soldiers and the Changsha army led by Sun Jian.
Dong Zhuo attached great importance to the Bingzhou troops and wanted to take complete control of them.
And Hua Xiong is the old warrior from Xiliang.
There had always been some unreconciliation between the Xiliang faction and the newly arrived Bingzhou faction.
At this time, simply executing Li Su, an officer of Bingzhou, in public would inevitably lead to resistance from officials and generals of Bingzhou.
It will disrupt Dong Zhuo's plan to gather troops in Bingzhou.
In this situation, although Hua Xiong is Dong Zhuo's senior subordinate, he will inevitably be punished and his life will not be easy.
Of course, the most important thing is that there is no way to prove that Li Su poisoned himself.
If he could prove that Li Su poisoned him, he would just be beheaded in public and the problem would not be too serious.
Dong Zhuo wanted to gather the people of Bingzhou, but he also needed the direct descendants of Liangzhou, and he didn't want to disappoint them.
But the difficulty lies here. Hua Xiong has no way to prove that Li Su poisoned him.
After all, he is now carrying the body of his front body and is alive and kicking.
There is endless energy all over my body.
No one believed that Li Su poisoned himself.
When dealing with Li Su's affairs, you can't be reckless. You need to wait for the opportunity and let the bullets fly for a while!
"What are you welcoming?"
Hua Xiong spoke out.
“I almost didn’t come back today!”
Li Su was moved when he heard this, and asked, "What's the matter? Did the governor encounter difficult bandits?
What remarkable person has appeared among the bandits in Kanto?"
Hua Xiong curled his lips and said disdainfully: "The bandits in Guandong are like chickens and dogs, vulnerable to a single blow. What kind of threat can they pose?
After I killed Pan Feng today, I suddenly had a terrible stomachache, almost causing me to pass out.
Fortunately, there were no thieves coming at that time, otherwise, there is a high probability that I would not be able to come back!
It’s like being poisoned…”
When Li Su heard this, his heart suddenly started beating violently.
"What's going on? Did I use the wrong strength and get a stitch in the side?
Still sick?
You need to ask a doctor to take a look as soon as possible.
The governor is a fierce general and holds an important position, so he must not be careless."
He looked up at Hua Xiong and said with concern.
Hua Xiong retracted his gaze and said, "It's okay, there's no need to see a doctor. It just hurts for a while, but it will be fine soon. I don't think it's a big deal..."
Li Su secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Just now, his heart was about to jump out, and he felt vaguely that Hua Xiong had seen through him.
But at this moment, Hua Xiong seemed no different from before.
Moreover, given Hua Xiong's reckless character, if he really suspected that I had poisoned him, he would definitely not have behaved like this at this time. He would have been holding a knife to chop himself.
This is a barbarian who can't hide anything in his heart.
There is no need for me to look up to him here.
Moreover, this Hua Manzi trusted me quite a bit, and he would never have thought that I would drug him...
These thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, and Li Su immediately stopped thinking about it. He unconsciously became very natural.
Hua Xiong seemed unintentional, but he took all of this in and sneered in his heart.
After exchanging a few words with Zhao Cen who came to greet them, they returned to Sishui Pass together...
Inside the tent, Li Su and Zhao Cen congratulated Hua Xiong on his great achievement again.
Hua Xiong laughed and said, "What kind of achievement is this? It's just beating up a vulnerable chicken and clay dog."
"In the eyes of the governor, these people are nothing, but these are all real military achievements."
Zhao Cen complimented with a smile.
"You have contributed to this as well."
Hua Xiong laughed.
The two of them couldn't help but be delighted when they heard this and hurriedly expressed their gratitude.
Li Su pondered for a moment and said, "Commander-in-chief, those soldiers in Guandong have been defeated by you one after another and are frightened.
No one would have thought that the governor would send troops again after winning a series of victories.
If the governor leads his troops to rob the camp tonight, he will surely be able to give the bandits in Guandong a severe blow.
The governor is a trusted general of the prime minister. He has made many contributions . It is possible that he can set up a government office like General Niu and General Dong. "
The words were spoken sincerely and extremely tempting.
But Li Su's heart was full of sneers.
At this time he already knew what happened on the battlefield.
The dosage I gave Hua Xiong was too small, and the effect lasted too short a time. It took only a short while for Hua Xiong to recover.
If the effect of the medicine lasted a little longer, considering the fighting power of the red-faced, long-bearded man from the Guandong coalition forces, Hua Xiong would definitely be defeated!
What Li Su didn't know was that the dosage of the medicine he gave was not only large, but also an overdose.
He originally wanted to poison Hua Xiong to make him dizzy, severely reduce his combat effectiveness on the battlefield, and then let the Guandong coalition kill Hua Xiong, but he directly poisoned the real Hua Xiong to death...
Hua Xiong said something today, as if he had been poisoned , and he felt a little frightened when he heard it.
Although he knew that Hua Xiong was just speaking casually and did not doubt him, Li Su did not dare to continue giving him drugs for the time being.
But he could continue to encourage Hua Xiong to fight against the Guandong coalition forces.
Although Hua Xiong is brave, he will eventually suffer losses after such continuous battles!
As long as Hua Xiong dies, the position of Sishui Pass Governor will surely fall into his hands!
Based on his understanding of Hua Xiong, this barbarian would surely agree readily to his proposal after hearing it.
And be grateful for the praise!
