Chapter 294: Night Visit to Xuchang (2)
As soon as these words came out, without waiting for Cao Cao's reply, Cao Ren, who was sitting on the side, was the first to jump out, with a slightly contemptuous expression, snorting and saying:
"General Hua, the alliance should be mutually beneficial, not unilateral. Although you are famous, but your strength is too weak, and you don't even have a decent city, what good is it for our army to form an alliance with you? When it comes to the alliance, I, Cao Zixiao, am the first to oppose it! ”
Cao Ren, the word Zixiao, Cao Cao's younger brother.
He joined Cao's army when Cao Cao first raised his troops and was highly valued by Cao Cao.
In the following decades, he made great contributions to the state of Wei and was Cao Cao's right-hand man.
Following Cao Ren, the strategist Wang Bi, who was sitting opposite, also opened his mouth and said:
"What General Cao said is extremely true! The surname Hua, with your little strength, still want to form an alliance with us? What wishful thinking! Also, don't forget, you just attacked our army yesterday and imprisoned the Lord and the Holy Lord for a day and a night. You still have the face to talk about an alliance? If you want me to say, you should correct the Dharma on the spot to avenge yesterday's revenge! ”
Wang Bi, one of Cao Ying's advisors, had been with Cao Cao for a long time.
Although this person is not well-known, Cao Cao's evaluation of him is not low at all, saying that he is "loyal and diligent, his heart is like iron and stone, and he is a good official of the country".
It is enough to see that this person is also deeply trusted by Cao Cao.
"Lord Wang is right!"
After Wang Bi, Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang, also echoed:
"Huaxing, although you didn't hurt your father, your actions made our army discredited in front of the saints, which is really hateful! Father, please allow the child to capture this person on the spot, so as to relieve the hatred in his heart! ”
Cao Ang is not very old, he looks like he is 15 or 6 years old, but when he speaks, he has the style of his father.
Seeing that Cao Cao's subordinates all had such an attitude, not only did they not support the alliance, but they were also extremely unfriendly to themselves, Hua Xing's eyes instantly flashed with worry, and he opened his mouth and replied:
"You misunderstood. In yesterday's move, there is no malice! I just wanted to take the opportunity to meet the saint, that's why I ......"
But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Xiahou Yuan, who was sitting opposite:
"Misunderstanding? The surname is Hua, you know that my lord is escorting the saint, but you want to run to make trouble, this is called no malice? Hum! If you want me to say, you are coming for our army, so I Xiahou Miaocai will not be fooled! ”
After saying this, he saw Xiahou Yuan stand up from the chair, turn his head and look at Cao Cao again, clenched his fists and pleaded:
"My lord, please quickly order the arrest of this thief to avenge the capture of yesterday!"
Under the guidance of Xiahou Yuan, the other generals in the room also got up to follow suit, clenched their fists, bowed their bodies, and said in unison to Cao Cao:
"I hope that the lord will give an order to arrest this thief quickly!"
Xiahou Yuan, known as General Baidi.
He was not only Xiahoudun's brother-in-law, but also became Cao Cao's brother-in-law because he married Cao Cao's cousin.
In addition, he had been imprisoned for Cao Cao's crimes in his early years, which can be regarded as saving Cao Cao once.
Therefore, the relationship between him and Cao Cao can be said to be very close, no less than the relationship between Liu, Guan, and Zhang.
Now, even Xiahou Yuan has such an attitude, and it seems that there is really little hope for the alliance.
Seeing this scene, Hua Xing, who was standing in the field, was full of anxiety, he really didn't expect that Cao Jun would be such a scene inside.
In order not to let the situation develop again, he quickly stepped forward and opened his mouth before Cao Cao said:
"General Cao, about yesterday's actions, I have already said humility to you in the account, our army is really without malice. If you still can't dissipate your anger, Hua is willing to say again, just ask the general to think twice! ”
After speaking, he saw Hua Xing hugging his fists and bowing deeply, once again expressing his apologies in his heart.
On the one hand, it is Huaxing with a sincere attitude; On the other hand, there are subordinates who refuse to understand.
Faced with such a problem, Cao Cao couldn't help frowning, and a light of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
After pondering for a long time, he slowly raised his head and said to Xiahou Yuan:
"Okay! It depends on your will...... Let's take it first! ”
Seeing that Cao Cao finally chose his subordinates, Hua Xing immediately became anxious, and without waiting for Xiahou Yuan's reaction, he once again preemptively said:
"General Cao, have you forgotten the conditions I told you before? Don't turn a good thing into a bad thing! ”
Faced with Huaxing's question, Cao Cao, who had already made up his mind, just smiled slightly:
"Of course I haven't forgotten! However, I have not forgotten that you did imprison General Ben for a day and a night. So, hehe, it's time for you to taste what it's like to be a prisoner. Someone, give it to me...... Take! ”
As soon as the voice fell, the situation in the room changed suddenly.
The civil officials, led by Xun Yu, quickly withdrew from both sides of Cao Cao and withdrew from the danger zone;
And the generals led by Xiahou Yuan, except for Dian Wei who wanted to protect Cao Cao, the others surrounded Huaxing and others as soon as possible.
The antechamber, which had just been harmonious, turned into a battlefield in an instant, and the war was about to break out.
Seeing this, Huaxing had to give up arguing.
Quickly huddled together with the three people around him, back to back, shoulder to shoulder, each with a vigilant light in their eyes.
"Master, what am I talking about? Now you know that my worries are correct, right? After muttering a sentence in a low voice, I heard Zhang Liao say again:
"But fortunately, there are only a dozen of them, as long as we ......"
But as soon as he was halfway through speaking, he heard a sound of neat footsteps outside the door.
Immediately after, I saw a group of heavily armed elite soldiers quickly pouring into the house.
At a glance, there were seventy or eighty people, although they didn't do it directly, but as soon as they entered the house, they surrounded Huaxing and them.
Seeing such a battle, Zhang Liao immediately closed his mouth, his brows were tightly locked, and his eyes were also full of worry......
After the soldiers stood still, it was Xiahou Yuan who took the lead in breaking the deadlock.
Seeing that he was walking like a fly, he raised his hand and smashed it into Huaxing's chest, without half a bit of mercy in his eyes.
Hua Xing will not let the opponent hit easily, he dodged the attack with one side, and the backhand was another move of the spirit snake out of the hole, which was directly buckled on the opponent's shoulder, and staggered Xiahou Yuan, who had an unstable foothold.
Although it was a blow, Xiahou Yuan was not angry, he grinned while rubbing his shoulder, and said in his mouth: "Sure enough, I have some ability!" ”
After speaking, he stepped forward again and fought with Huaxing again.
Seeing that Xiahou Yuan had already made a move, the other generals would not be idle, and quickly rushed forward.
This battle, which ended with four enemies and ten, officially kicked off.
Although Huaxing is not superior in numbers, to be honest, these four people are all good at fighting.
In addition, Cao Cao has no plans to let the soldiers do it for the time being, so judging from the scene alone, in the first minute or two of the game, the two sides were evenly matched, and the four Huaxing did not fall into disadvantage.
