Chapter 277: Winter Hunting (3)
"What is the will of God, though it is commanded. As a Hanchen, Cao must do his best. ”
Seeing that Cao Cao didn't even ask anything, he agreed, and Fu Wan and Liu Xie showed joy almost at the same time, and soon listened to Fu Wan's speech:
"General Cao may have also heard that there is a Luyuan Mountain in the southeast of Luoyang, and there is a Luyuan Iron Mine at the foot of the mountain. This mine was previously occupied by Dong thieves, but now that Dong Zhuo is dead, it should have been returned to the imperial court. Unexpectedly, he was forcibly taken by a group of daring thieves. So...... The meaning of the saint is that he hopes that General Cao will send troops on our behalf and bring this mine back under the control of the imperial court. ”
"Oh! That's what happened......"
After nodding his head with "understanding", he saw Cao Cao pretending to be puzzled and asked:
"Huh? Isn't it just a group of ordinary thieves, and they will be scared away by sending a few soldiers at random? Could it be that they, like the Yellow Turban thief, dare to openly oppose the court? ”
"Alas! If it were that simple, we wouldn't be here to bother the general. With a helpless face, Fu Wan shook his head and complained about the pain in his heart:
"These guys aren't just hateful, they're powerful. Don't hide it from the general, we actually found someone to clean it up once before, and the number of troops was three times that of the other party. But as a result, not only did he fail to recover the iron ore, but he was wiped out by the other party, which is really ashamed. That's why the old man suggested that the saint come to General Cao's rescue, because in the vicinity of Luoyang, I'm afraid that only General Cao has the ability to subdue these villains! ”
Although Cao Cao had already known about it, for the sake of the big plan in his heart, he still pretended to be surprised after hearing it, and asked:
"Huh? Failed to defeat three times the force? This thief really has some skills! I don't know who the leader of the thieves is. ”
"This person is famous, General Cao should have heard of it, he is, he is, he is, ......he is,
But at the critical moment, a commotion suddenly came from outside the big tent, interrupting Fu Wan's words.
As soon as Cao Cao was about to go out to check, the curtain of the big tent was lifted from the outside, and a team of soldiers wearing camouflage military uniforms and holding halberds swarmed in, instantly surrounding the six people in the tent.
Immediately after, I saw a man in armor walking slowly into the tent, and said to everyone with a faint smile:
"The person who Lord Fu said is down! Huaxing has seen all the adults and General Cao! ”
It was a wonderful luncheon, but it was suddenly broken into by the "thief" Huaxing.
The six people present were all surprised!
First, I don't understand why Huaxing is here, and second, I don't understand how the soldiers outside could let him in so easily!
With such confusion, the next second he heard the shouting outside the tent:
"Hurry up! There are assassins! There are assassins! ”
But after seven or eight consecutive calls, still not a single soldier entered, and only then did he realize that something was wrong, and closed his mouth with a look of trepidation.
Among these six people, in addition to Fu Wan, there is another person who is also particularly excited, he is the lieutenant who has just taken office - Dian Wei.
Seeing that someone wanted to be unfavorable to Cao Cao, Dian Wei blocked Cao Cao for the first time and did not allow anyone to approach his lord.
Although he was bare-handed, in the face of the enemy's halberd, Dian Wei's face was not half afraid.
In addition, this person is naturally strong and brave, and after a few rounds, ordinary soldiers really have nothing to do with him.
Seeing this, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao, who were standing behind Huaxing, had no choice but to go out in person.
Under the joint attack of the two of them, Dian Weicai finally fell into defeat and was captured by the two of them.
"Hua thief, you, you are so daring!" Seeing that the six of them had all been controlled by the other party, he was the first to open his mouth and scolded:
"You even dare to tie up the saints? Do you know that this is a capital crime, and it will be razed by the three tribes! ”
(In addition to the criminals themselves, their fathers, mothers, and wives were also killed, which was one of the most cruel punishments in the Han Dynasty.) )
After listening to Fu Wan's words, Hua Xing couldn't help laughing:
"Hehe, what's wrong with the saint? Isn't he also human? Why can't you tie it up? If you don't tie it, what if you run away? ”
After hearing such a rebellious speech, he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and retorted on the spot:
As the saying goes: The king is the father and the mother of the earth, and he is also the son of heaven, and he is called the supreme son of heaven! The saint is the Ninety-Five, the true dragon son of heaven, how can he be tied up by a thief like you? Quickly release the Holy One for me, or else, or ......."
"How else? Otherwise...... Can you still eat me? ”
Hua Xing really couldn't listen to this boring concept of imperial power, and immediately interrupted the other party:
"What is the Ninety-Five Honor, the True Dragon Son of Heaven, that is all fooling the common people! If he is really a true dragon emperor, how can he be tied up by me, a mortal, so easily? You're going to ask him to summon a dragon to save him? Alas! What an old fool, he is a prisoner of the stairs, and he is still so arrogant. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll drag you out and behead you the first one later. ”
As soon as the word "chop" came out, he immediately closed his mouth.
Obviously, he cares more about his life than about maintaining the reputation of the royal family.
As soon as he was quiet, he heard Cao Cao, who was standing on the other side, follow closely and said:
"General Hua, it's been nearly a year and a half since I parted that day, I didn't expect you and I to meet here......" After squeezing a smile and greeting, I heard Cao Cao continue:
"But Cao has something unclear, why are you here? Why do you attack us? ”
As early as the first day of Huaxing's arrival in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao met Huaxing, and the two were acquainted.
At that time, Cao Cao also threw an olive branch to Huaxing, but later Huaxing was rescued by Dong Zhuo, so he failed to do so.
And after that, they never saw each other again.
"Hehe, it's also an honor to meet General Cao today!"
After smiling and arching his hand, he saw Hua Xing turn his head, with a mysterious smile, glanced at Liu Xie in the corner and said:
"I'm here mainly to meet our saints. Something...... Gotta communicate with him! ”
Knowing that the other party was not coming at him, but came to find the saint's bad luck, Cao Cao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After glancing at Xun Yu, I heard him ask for the second time:
"So, General Hua should have been with us for a long time, right?"
"That's right! It's not easy to see the Holy One! From Luoyang to Xuchang, and then from Xuchang to Xutian, I followed for so many days before I finally waited for the opportunity. ”
Huaxing is right, as early as six or seven days ago, he took his soldiers to ambush outside Luoyang City.
However, due to Cao Cao's 10,000 soldiers and horses, Huaxing did not dare to act rashly, so he could only follow him from a distance and chased all the way to the periphery of Xuchang.
