Volume 2: The King's Way Chapter 161 Xiahou Dun
"Xiahou Yuanrang! Do you still have any shame?" Xiahou Yuan shouted angrily.
Xiahou Dun, who was originally embarrassed, now gave up and put his carrot-thick fingers into his nostrils and started digging in front of Xiahou Yuan.
"Isn't this great? You have always been worried about Juan'er's marriage, and Bai Tu is now the General of Chariots and Cavalry. Even if Meng De... ahem, you know... Bai Tu can at least be made a prince, right?" Xiahou Dun said.
"How dare you act first and report later? Do you... still have any shame?" Xiahou Yuan was still very angry, but unfortunately he was not good at speaking.
"Don't look down on Bai Tu so much..."
"I look down on you!"
That’s right, Xiahou Dun had already recommended Xiahou Juan to Cao Cao before, and also volunteered to come to Xiahou Yuan to “propose marriage”.
The cause... was that Xiahou Dun's son Xiahou Mao fell in love with Cao Cao's daughter Cao Jing, and even broke off the engagement with Ding Yi, which was vaguely related to Xiahou Mao.
And although Xiahou Mao is still young, he has a reputation for being a bit...
In short, Xiahou Dun didn't have the courage to propose marriage directly to Cao Cao before, but after listening to Xun You's advice, Xiahou Dun became interested and decided to help Meng De solve the problem first, which indirectly also served to return a daughter to Meng De.
But to Xiahou Yuan, it didn't sound like that - why do I feel like you are using my daughter to exchange for your daughter-in-law? I, Xiahou Miao, can't even lift a knife?
If other people, especially his old subordinates, saw Xiahou Dun like this, they would definitely be shocked. Only a limited number of people, including Cao Cao and Xiahou Yuan, were very familiar with this. This is... his nature!
"You look down on me if you want to. I'm so afraid of the look of contempt you have for me." Xiahou Dun.Picking Nose.jpg.
Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Cao Cao… Because the Xiahou family and the Cao family were both prominent families in Pei County, they had known each other since childhood and their friendship grew even stronger.
Although in theory the ancestors of the two families are indeed Xiahou Ying and Cao Shen, two founding fathers of the Han Dynasty who followed Liu Bang, it is a bit far-fetched to say that they are actually the descendants of Xiahou Ying and Cao Shen.
Because the real descendants of Xiahou Ying and Cao Shen were respectively granted the titles of Marquis of Ruyin and Marquis of Rongcheng. Although the fiefdom of Xiahou Ying's descendants was cancelled, the Xiahou family of Ruyin and the Cao family of Rongcheng were the direct descendants of the two. The Xiahou family of Peixian and the Cao family of Peixian were merely the origins of Xiahou Ying and Cao Shen. Therefore, it is not wrong to say that the two were the ancestors of the two surnames of Peixian, but the two surnames of Peixian were not their descendants, just like the relationship between the Gan family of Kuaiji and the Gan family of Shujun in the future.
Therefore, the two nominal founding fathers families did not actually have a very deep foundation. In fact, before Cao Cao started his rebellion, the two families would not flatter themselves so much.
Xiahou Yuan's son even starved to death in a famine year, and... after Cao Cao raised his call, the two families only produced "generals" but no "strategists", which shows that their family tradition is only average.
When Cao Cao and others were young, they were naturally no different from children from "ordinary families". Just like Lu Bu and others when they were young, they were also little monkeys "running wild" everywhere.
Among them, Xiahou Dun is the oldest, so he has some big brother sentiments and always likes to pretend to be majestic, but in fact... those who know him know that this guy is a shameless person by nature!
But "occasionally" he can still be very reliable. Cao Cao, Xiahou Yuan and others all remember that when they were young, whether they were stealing melons, being bullied by other "little bullies" from neighboring villages, or peeking... ahem, in short, "Big Brother Xiahou" would take the initiative to cover their retreat.
When someone hangs him up and beats him, he won't even mention who was outside the bathroom at the time...
Later, due to rumors, little kids who didn't know Xiahou Dun began to regard him as a tough guy and a mighty big brother. Xiahou Dun also enjoyed this false reputation and would not reveal his true nature in front of outsiders.
When Cao Cao raised his arms and called on the local militia to fight against Dong Zhuo, the reason why so many young people in Pei County responded was mainly because they were led by the "leader" Xiahou Dun.
Cao Cao and his men were very worried at the time. If Xiahou Dun could not awaken the armor, wouldn't it be exposed? This would be a serious blow to the Cao Cao group, which had been working hard.
However, their worries came true - Xiahou Dun, who had always neglected practicing martial arts and was always lazy, failed to awaken the armor.
At the same time, what they were worried about did not happen - Xiahou Dun actually regained his official seal... Could it be that this guy secretly made up for his lessons while being lazy?
Up to now, less than ten people know that Xiahou Dun has no military token, which is due to his special strategy - false power and vanity.
"Fake Power" allows Xiahou Dun to summon the "Fake Power Armor", and "Vanity" transforms other people's awe of Xiahou Dun into strengthening the attributes of the "Fake Power Armor".
Therefore...Xiahou Dun, like Ji Ling, usually wore armor and had a stern face in front of his subordinates and outsiders.
If Bai Tu knew about Xiahou Dun's ability, he would probably think of something else - Xiahou Dun has such a big contrast in history and romance...
Xiahou Dun in history had an impressive record of battles. He had never won a battle by leading troops alone, and there was no description of his personal martial arts skills. He could only get assists when he had support and strong teammates... He even had the terrible experience of being a general but being kidnapped by his own men!
However, it was Xiahou Dun who was "favored" by Cao Cao to an unacceptable degree. In terms of official positions and rewards, he was more . After Cao Pi became emperor, he even named him "General". The obvious degree of his backdoor dealings was incredible.
In the novel, however, Xiahou Dun's personal martial arts and achievements were forcibly matched to a level suitable for his treatment, making him a real tough guy.
Xiahou Dun in Chengji's world seems to have the essence of both...
Xiahou Yuan was also helpless against him, and… in order to preserve his “vanity”, Xiahou Yuan didn’t even dare to lose his temper with Xiahou Dun in front of outsiders, and he praised him many times. As a result, in the impression of Li Dian, Le Jin and other generals from other families, Xiahou Dun’s martial power exceeded that of Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren… He could be regarded as the leader among the generals of the Cao and Xiahou clans!
Just as Xiahou Yuan was yelling, Xiahou Ba, who had just returned from training at the martial arts arena, heard the noise in the military tent and hurried over...
"Father, who are you angry with?"
Hearing his nephew Xiahou Ba's voice, Xiahou Dun quickly changed his expression, pulled the "carrot" out of his nostrils, and stared at Xiahou Yuan with an intimidating look ...
As soon as Xiahou Ba entered his father's military tent and saw Xiahou Dun, he couldn't help but be startled: "Uncle, Uncle..."
What these younger generations fear most is Xiahou Dun, who is intimidating without even getting angry.
"Huh? Zhong Quan, you have been serving in the army and are now in the military camp, why do you call me 'uncle'?" Xiahou Dun frowned slightly and said in a serious tone.
[As expected of my uncle, his aura is even stronger than my father's, and... he's so strict...] Xiahou Ba thought to himself, and immediately admitted his mistake: "General Xiahou Ba, I pay my respects to General Xiahou."
"Well, Miaocai and I have something to discuss. You go out first."
