Chapter 41: Killing Huaxiong
"Rebel ministers and thieves, this governor and you are incompatible!"
Although Hua Xiong's shoulder has been stabbed by Zhang Fei, he is still brave, he ignored the pain, and re-slashed the knife that had been forged by the craftsmen of Jincheng in Liangzhou with red iron with his own southern and northern wars for many years...... And the dozens of personal guards behind Hua Xiong were also fearless of death, and followed closely behind.
"Khooth!" Guan Yu raised the Qinglong Glaive Knife to block the opponent's powerful blow, and the two weapons collided with a piercing sound, which shocked everyone's eardrums, and many people couldn't help but set their eyes on the duel between the two.
After a move, Hua Xiong's two arms were sore, his qi and blood were floating, his chest was difficult to breathe, and he almost had to turn over and fall off the horse! Who is this red-faced man? There is so much strength!
Hua Xiong was shocked in his heart, but Guan Yu was also surprised, since joining the army, this fang should belong to the highest martial arts among all the people he has encountered, he is defeated and injured at the moment, and he can still fight with himself without falling behind, you can imagine how difficult it was to fight in its heyday.
The two of them each shook their spirits and fought each other again.
When the fight was in full swing, Liu Bei and Cao Cao both led soldiers and horses to follow.
When Cao Cao and Liu Bei Shicai were fighting an ambush in front of the county yamen, they had already seen the courage of Hua Xiong, and at this moment, although they were at a disadvantage in fighting with Guan Yu, their proficiency in swordsmanship was not comparable to leisure, and they couldn't help but feel sorry.
Cao Cao and Liu Bei are both people who do great things, they are very open-minded, and they love talents very much...... Even for Dong Zhuo's fangs like Hua Xiong, it's the same.
Cao Cao watched the battle between Hua Xiong and Guan Yu, his eyes couldn't help but shine, he pondered for a while, and shouted: "Hua Xiong, you are now in the general trend, why are you still stubbornly resisting?" Even if you don't want your life, how can you bear to let the soldiers under your command die and be wounded? You ordered to surrender, and Cao kept you safe with his life! β
Yang Zhan, the captain of the Xuzhou Military Academy, was stunned when he heard this, and turned his head cautiously to look at the potter.
The potter's face was not very good-looking, and he looked down at the slip that was still in his hand, and Yuan Shao's promise was clearly written on it......
"Those who take the head of Huaxiong will be given five hundred gold medals!"
The potter closed his eyes and immediately began to clench his fists and pray and chant the mantra: "Don't surrender, don't listen to the of the surnamed Cao...... Huaxiong, you must not surrender, you can kill but not humiliate, and a manly husband can't be unproductive......"
"Cao Apu, you are dreaming!"
Perhaps it was the potter's prayer that played a role, and Hua Xiong's two eyes as big as copper bells bloomed with murderous intent, not in the slightest temptation by the conditions that could save his life.
While refusing, he raised the slasher in his hand high again, and smashed his head towards Guan Yu with an unstoppable move.
Guan Yu unhurriedly pushed the Qinglong Yanyue Knife upward, which seemed to be light but was actually heavy, and dissolved Hua Xiong's attack lightly, and the blades of the two big knives slammed into each other, making a loud noise.
I saw Hua Xiong dragging the horse back, his body swaying, his arms drooping, obviously suffering a secret loss.
Guan Yu did not take advantage of the momentum to pursue, but put away his knife and stood in the middle of the field, stroked his beautiful hair and said proudly: "If you are not injured, you may be able to fight with Guan until thirty rounds away." β
Hua Xiong, as the commander of the first army, was humiliated in public by such an unknown pawn at this moment, and his anger was full of smoke, and the soldiers he led were already dead and wounded at the moment, and only the remaining personal guards were still trapped and fighting, and the sadness in his heart was unexpected.
Even so, Hua Xiong was not convinced, and said coldly: "Nameless, what are you crazy about?" It's a big deal! β
After that, the scuffle resumed...... But the morale of the Xiliang army has fallen to the bottom, and in the distance, the support of the coalition army is still coming in a steady stream, getting closer and closer, and many people are ready to give up resistance.
Liu Bei saw that Cao Cao's brows were furrowed and anxious, but he was helpless, and then looked at Hua Xiong and Guan Yu's fighting, he was really a rare fierce general, and he felt a pity in his heart, and raised his voice: "General Hua, General Cao is right, why do you have to resist stubbornly and sacrifice so many soldiers under your command?" Dong Zhuo was brutal and coerced the Son of Heaven to ruin the lives of the people, everyone was angry, why did the general help the abuse? Don't you know that you are not only a general under Dong Zhuo, but also a minister of the Han family! How can you be so stubborn, even unwise! β
Guan Yu listened to Liu Bei's shouting, and knew that his eldest brother was also like Cao Cao, and intended to let Huaxiong surrender to Cheng, so he was not pressing, he put away his knife and galloped out of the circle, and watched Huaxiong's movements.
Hua Xiong fought with Guan Yu, his wound burst out, his face turned pale, and his teeth trembled.
Cao Cao and Liu Bei's words, he heard all the words, and knew that the other party was indeed sincere to let him surrender, but this move was really damaging to the face of the general, if it was spread out, he would be the governor of the country in person, leading 50,000 troops, and surrendered directly after a day and a night of bloody battles......
But at this moment, things are irreparable...... With his own skills, he can be regarded as proud of Xiliang, could he die so silently in this small Yangren City?
Hua Xiong's face turned red and white, obviously in a dilemma.
When the potter saw this situation, he secretly said that it was not good!
Cao Cao and Liu Bei don't know how to think about it, if you have money or not, you have to surrender such a thing, with Huaxiong's identity and arrogance, even if you fall today, you will definitely belong to Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu's account in the future, and you can still get your turn? It's sick!
You want to give Yuan Shao talents for nothing, and you don't want these five hundred lintoe gold...... I'm sorry, you don't want it, I want it!
Thinking of this, the potter took a big step forward, looked at Hua Xiong who was wheezing not far away, and said righteously: "Hua Xiong, you still don't know how to repent when you die?" General Cao and Liu County Commander have persuaded you, why are you still obsessed? Now you put down your weapons and go to the princes of all walks of life to kowtow a hundred times to make amends, maybe you can consider sparing your dog's life! β
Beside the potter, Captain Yang Zhan grinned when he listened...... This is persuasion, it is clearly forcing Huaxiong to go crazy.
Hearing this, Hua Xiong was really furious, and actually exposed his life to the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, left Guan Yu, and went straight to the pottery merchant to kill him, and shouted angrily: "Puppy! I'll let you run rampant! β
How could he not face someone else, but Guan Yu, who can be called invincible in the world, before he could kill him, Guan Yu adjusted the knife, blocked Hua Xiong's waist with the handle of the knife, and threw him directly under the horse.
"Huaxiong, give up! In front of Guan, you can't move two feet away! Guan Yu looked at him fixedly, without joy or anger.
Hua Xiong's lips couldn't help but tremble.
Suddenly, the potter's voice rang out again.
"Hua Xiong, you can't even fight a person in the coalition who has no title, and you are played like a monkey by someone with a knife handle, what face do you have to claim to be the Metropolitan Governor? If I were you, it would be light to commit suicide by jumping off a building...... Take a good look at what happened to the soldiers around you! β
Hua Xiong was stunned when he heard thisβthe screams and roars around him, as well as the sound of the blades, seemed to be hidden in this dead and silent field all at once.
There was a slight tiredness on his blood-covered face, and there was a deep despair in his eyes.
"How can an eight-foot man survive in secret? Cao Apu, you won, I, Huaxiong, am willing to gamble and lose, and will never beg for mercy! β
After saying that, I saw that this fierce general who had followed Dong Zhuo for a long time reversed the chopping knife in his hand and wiped it horizontally on his neck.
Blood splattered in the air, swaying across the street.
Things have developed to this point, but Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and even Guan Yu did not expect it.
Everyone silently watched the death of this mighty general in Xizhou, and couldn't help but feel emotional.
After a long time, I saw Liu Bei sigh and shake his head: "It's a pity, it's a pity that a thousand troops are easy to get, and this Huaxiong is also a mighty and majestic man in Liangzhou, but in the end, he fell into this field because he followed the wrong master." β
Cao Cao also nodded: "Dong Zhuo is a sin and endangers the common people, Huaxiong is a subordinate of Dong Zhuo, and he is a person from the border of Liangzhou, he only knows how to be loyal to the Lord, but he doesn't understand righteousness, and he is to blame, but he is not to blame." β
Guan Yu touched his long hair, squinted and didn't speak, but saw the potter come over, handed the wine bag to Guan Yu, and said, "Brother Yun is mighty, and he forced Huaxiong to death in an instant!" Come, General Guan, please drink, this wine is still warm! β
Yang Zhan, the captain of the Xuzhou Army, followed the pottery merchant and said: "In today's battle, Yun Changgong Wenjiu forced Huaxiong to death, and he will definitely be famous in the future!" β
Guan Yu turned his head to look at the potter, and said slowly: "It doesn't seem to be Guan who forced Huaxiong to death." β
The potter still looked like a humble gentleman, and said softly: "The effect is the same." β
Guan Yu didn't choke, pulled out the wine bag and raised his head to take a sip, frowning: "This wine ...... How is it cold? β
"Huh? Is it? That's when they forgot to burn it...... It doesn't matter, the cold wine can kill Huaxiong and it will also be passed down through the ages. β
Guan Yu's eyelids jumped when he heard this.
At this time, Cao Cao and Liu Bei walked over, Cao Cao raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Brother Tao can, this three-inch incorruptible tongue really shocks the ancient and modern, and Huaxiong, who was forced to commit suicide in a few words...... Su Qin and Zhang Yi are just like that. β
The potter waved his hand modestly: "Brother Meng De is too praised, the kid is dull and doesn't know the art of war, so he can only do a little bit." β
Cao Cao nodded, then turned his head to look at Liu Bei and Guan Yu, who were silent, and threw out a slightly embarrassing question after a while.
"How should this battle exploit be reported to the alliance leader?"
One sentence is right to the point! If you talk about Huaxiong's merits, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and potters all have merit, but it is difficult to say to whom Huaxiong's merits should be repaid.
Cao Cao asked this sentence, naturally knowing that he only had the merit of planning, not the merit of beheading, and the person who defeated Huaxiong was Guan Yu, but the potter inserted a pole and forced Huaxiong to commit suicide.
So I simply threw the problem out and let them decide for themselves.
Liu Bei hesitated when he heard this.
Killing Hua Xiong, if it is passed on to the general, it will inevitably shock the world and become famous, but Tao Shangjun has indeed made a lot of contributions, although it is more redundant for him to force Hua Xiong to die just now...... But after all, everything has been done, and merit cannot be denied.
"Tao Gongzi, this ......"
As soon as Liu Bei spoke, he saw the pottery merchant hurriedly said: "Xuande Gong, the younger brother is not talented, Shicai is just talking at will, how can you win or lose on the battlefield, you should judge the victory or defeat by the merits of the war, and the merit of Huaxiong, forgive the little brother for not being able to suffer death!" β
After that, he bowed deeply to Liu Bei, representing that he would never accept it.
At this time, Liu Bei was confused, Liu Bei originally thought that the pottery merchant was one of the princes, the son of the Dazhou Thorn History, and would definitely compete with his own county officials, but he never thought that this son would be so humble and modest, quite popular.
This kid is a sincere man, a little gentleman...... Sure enough, it's good.
Seeing that the pottery merchant was like this, Cao Cao came out to play a round and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then Xuande Gong does not have to be too humble, Yun Chang's merit, everyone sees it in their eyes, I think it will be in accordance with Brother Tao's intentions, and repay Yun Chang's merit for Hua Xiong." β
Liu Bei was cramped when he heard this, peeked at the potter, and saw that the potter's face was calm, and there was no displeasure, so he put down his heart and arched his hand: "Since this is the case, then I will take the second brother Xie Liang's humble virtue." β
The potter hurriedly said, "Don't dare, don't dare." But he stole a glance at Yang Zhan behind him.
This Captain Yang is really a brain, just now on the battlefield, he already had a general understanding of what the potter wanted, at this moment when he saw the potter's eyes, how could he not understand, hurriedly said: "The last general Yang Zhan congratulates Xuande Gong, Yun Changgong has won this battle, after this battle, the two will be famous all over the world, and they can also get a reward of five hundred gold from the alliance leader...... It's really enviable and admirable! β
Naked squeezers.
When Liu Bei heard this, he hurriedly said: "Beihe's second brother, he has already made false achievements, how dare he swallow the alliance master's reward again, Tao Gongzi is actually meritorious, if you don't dislike it, Bei is willing to give it to the alliance leader's reward to show your heart." β
The potter gave this Captain Yang a thumbs up in his heart.
This kid is a sensible ...... It's a big deal.
The potter smiled at Liu Bei and said, "That's embarrassing." β
Liu Bei hurriedly said: "Master Tao, you must get it, otherwise you won't be caught in injustice." β
The potter hesitated for a moment, and only after a while did he slowly speak: "Then I, first for Xuande Gong, keep it?" β
Liu Bei hurriedly nodded and said, "Okay, you keep it, you keep it." β
After a few more polite words, the men separated for the time being, and each ordered his men and horses to clean up the battlefield and collect the ordnance.
Taking Liu Bei away, Cao Cao quietly walked behind the Tao merchant and said with a smile: "Brother Tao, you are a thief, what about five hundred lintoe gold, do you want Cao to help you keep half of it?" β
Potter: "........."
