In November of the fifth year of Xianning (279 AD), Luoyang Palace.

Emperor Sima Yan of the Jin Dynasty put his hands behind his back and looked at the courtiers kneeling in front of him.

"Taiwei and I are in-laws, so it doesn't have to be like this."

"Your Majesty, Wu is still strong, it is not appropriate to use troops at this time, only to train soldiers, accumulate grain and grass, and wait for the national strength to be sufficient......"

"What, is the captain afraid that he won't be able to win this battle?"

"Your Majesty, Your Minister......"

When Yanghu proposed to destroy Wu, Aiqing objected, causing Wu Guogou to survive to this day. What's the matter, now that I want to use soldiers, Aiqing wants to stop it? ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is indeed thinking about Your Majesty, and worrying about my Jin Dynasty's society, it is indeed not appropriate to raise troops at this time."

"Okay, there is no need for Aiqing to say much about this matter, I have already ordered, and the 200,000 army will set off immediately. I have appointed you as the Governor of the Metropolis, and you will command all the soldiers and horses of the six routes. ”

Jia Chong looked at the emperor and said in a timid voice: "Your Majesty, the ministers are shallow in their talents, and I am afraid it will be difficult to take on a big responsibility." ”

"If the captain refuses, I will take the expedition myself!" The emperor waved his long sleeves and turned away.

"Minister...... Compliance. Jia Chong kowtowed to the emperor and stood up, "Nachen...... Retire first. With that, he walked out the door.

"Aiqing......" The emperor's voice came from behind him, but it was different from just now, and his tone became very calm, "You have lost all the courage when you ordered someone to kill Emperor Wei Cao Chao back then." The emperor did not look back, but there was a hint of disappointment in his words.

"The minister is old, and he just wants to serve quietly by His Majesty's side, and he has no ambition for a long time." Jia Chong stopped.

"Let's go down."

"The minister retired."

The emperor turned around, looked at the empty doorway and sighed faintly: "Don't you have any ambitions, heh, killing the emperor, not everyone dares to do it......"

————————————————

On the twelfth day of the first month of the first year of Chuping (190 AD), Luoyang Prime Minister's Mansion.

Li Ru walked in slowly and stood in front of Dong Zhuo's case. Dong Zhuo raised his head, there seemed to be a trace of unbearability in his eyes,

"Lord, he has drunk the wine, and he has returned to heaven."

"Alas...... The old man didn't want to kill him, but if he didn't die, it would be an excuse for the princes. ”

"What the lord says is true."

"Alright, you go down first."

But Li Ru didn't move.

"What's the matter, is there anything else wrong with Wen You?"

"There is one thing that has been bothering my subordinates, and today I dare to ask Xiangguo to make it clear."

"What?"

"Why didn't the lord correct his subordinates and rebel against the lord on that day, and the crime should be put to death."

Dong Zhuo put down the piece in his hand, stood up and walked to the window, looking at the clouds in the sky.

"The people will follow me for many years, and I know that you and others are faithful, and will not really oppose me. Moreover, it was indeed the old man who was too pedantic at the beginning, which chilled the hearts of the generals. What's more, if I really condemn you and others, who can help me to correct the world? ”

"The subordinates are guilty," Li Ru knelt on the ground with a plop, "In the future, I will do my best to assist the lord, and I will definitely help the lord to calm the world and restore the great man!" ”

"Hehe, get up." Dong Zhuo helped Li Ru up, "Go ahead, see how Li Dao and the others are prepared." ”

"Yes, the subordinates retired."

As soon as Dong Zhuo leaned back in his chair and wanted to rest, Lu Bu walked in.

"Bong is here first."

"Lord...... King Hongnong ......"

“…… It's gone. ”

Lu Bu did not respond.

"You don't blame the old man?"

"For the sake of the Han world, there should be something to be abandoned."

"Heh, Feng Xian is starting to become hard-hearted. If he does not die, the Kwantung princes will definitely use the restoration of his throne as an excuse to raise an army to reasgood the world. ”

"My subordinates understand."

"Okay, let's not talk about him. Fengxian, there is something I want you to do, but I don't know if you are willing to go. ”

"My lord, please speak."

"The old man wants you to go to Bishui Pass to pick up Ying Huaxiong."

"Bishui Pass?" Lu Bu looked at Dong Zhuo suspiciously.

"Yes, you also know that this time the Kwantung coalition army is huge, and hundreds of thousands of troops are heading for Luoyang. If there is a battle here, it is difficult to guarantee that the soldiers of the coalition army will not take advantage of the situation to loot and cause the people to suffer. From the day Hua Xiong was ordered to go to the Bianshui Pass, the old man had ordered the Chinese Wu and the people of the city to pack up and move to Chang'an. Huaxiong was just going to buy time for the westward move, and the city of Luoyang had a large population, and it would take time to evacuate all of them. The old man ordered Huaxiong to hold on for ten days, but Feng Xian thought about it, ten days later, the old man's army had all rushed to Chang'an, and Luoyang was just an empty city. Hua Xiong will face hundreds of miles of wilderness plains, but no one will help him, and behind him is the hundreds of thousands of troops of the princes, but he only has 30,000 people. ”

"Ah......" Lu Bu was shocked in his heart, only thinking about withdrawing Luoyang, and he actually ignored this kind of detail.

"So, the old man wants to order you to lead 50,000 soldiers and horses to meet you, I don't know if you are willing to go."

Lu Bu got up without the slightest hesitation, "Subordinates take orders." ”

"There is another thing, when you come back with Huaxiong, there should be no one in Luoyang, if you come here, you will set fire to Luoyang."

"Lord, why is that?"

"Even if it is an empty city, it is still the imperial capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and if it is left to the princes, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be used to make a fuss in the future."

……

On the twelfth day of the first month of the first month of the first year of Chuping (190 AD), Dong Zhuo ordered Li Ru to poison and kill Liu Wei, the king of Hongnong, who abolished the emperor. King Hongnong was only fifteen years old when he died.

In the same month, Dong Zhuo ordered the entire city of Luoyang to move west to Chang'an. And Lu Bu led Zhang Liao to lead an army of 50,000 to Bishui Pass.

————————————

Luoyang throat, Bishui Pass.

Hua Xiong stood on the wall, looking at the coalition camp below.

"Ten days, the lord really gave Huaxiong a problem. The order is that tomorrow when you go out of the city to line up, the general will go to meet the fierce generals from all walks of life first. "Today is the fifth day of Dong Zhuo's ten-day period for Hua Xiong, and Hua Xiong has received the news that Lu Bu is leading the army to arrive. However, they could not hold out for several days, and the coalition forces shouted and scolded in front of the pass every day, and the army had already begun to talk about it in private, saying that Huaxiong was timid and cowardly. If there are two more days, I am afraid that the morale of the army will plummet, and by that time, once the princes seize the pass, they will inevitably lose. Therefore, Hua Xiong decided to kill several coalition generals first, boost morale and stabilize the morale of the army.

When the soldiers heard that they were going to fight, they were all excited. The next day, I got up early to cook, and as soon as the sun came out, I was already in line.

……

Coalition camp, on the platform.

At this time, the princes of the eighteen towns were all on the platform, namely:

The first town, Jiaoyou Haojun, the heroes of the marriage, the later general, Nanyang Taishou Yuan Shu, the word highway;

The eighteenth town, not afraid of the powerful, stabbed Dong alone, Cao Cao, the leader of the Chen Liuyi Army, and the word Mengde.

Everyone was discussing how to capture the pass, and the herald ran up to report that there were troops in the Bishui Pass who went out to line up, and the guard Hua Xiong challenged in front of the battle.

Yuan Shao looked at the princes on the stage, and said slowly: "The day before yesterday, General Bao Zhong was killed after a sneak attack, and Hua Xiong has not moved since then, and he doesn't want to take the initiative to call for battle today." Rank general, if Huaxiong is beheaded, this Bishui Pass will be able to take advantage of the situation. I don't know who wants to go? As he spoke, he looked at his younger brother Yuan Shu. This Yuan Shu is Yuan Shao's half-brother, and the relationship between the brothers is not very good, but this time, Yuan Shu, as a descendant of the Yuan family, can't not not participate.

Seeing Yuan Shao looking at him, Yuan Shu hurriedly shouted behind him: "Where is Xiao General Yu She!" I saw a sturdy young general flash out behind him, "Go and take off Huaxiong's head!" ”

"The last general commands!"

……

The doors of the coalition camp were wide open, and the troops lined up on both sides. Yu Shi straddled the horse and came out of the formation and came to a place ten meters away from Huaxiong.

"I'm Yuan Shu's general Yu She, Hua Xiong, don't you hurry up ......" Although Yu Shi has never been on the battlefield, he knows how to make himself famous. It's just that before he finished speaking, Hua Xiong clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and the war horse under his crotch instantly exploded, rushing over, only to hear a "woo", Hua Xiong's long-handled broadsword had already slashed at himself.

Yu Shi hurriedly held the spear with both hands to block, but it was useless, Hua Xiong's arm strength was strong, and he directly shook the spear in Yu She's hand. The strength of the knife did not decrease, and then it cut through Yu She's right rib armor and chest, blood spurted out, Yu Shi looked at his chest in disbelief, opened his mouth, and fell off the horse.

The war horse rushed forward for a short time and stopped, but Huaxiong did not look back. He just looked at the coalition soldiers in front of him and said with a little disappointment: "Too much nonsense. ”

The horses were crossed together to kill the enemy generals, and the top and bottom of the Bishui Pass were boiling instantly.

The coalition army Shuaitai is in a diametrically opposite situation, the generals have solemn faces, and the most ugly face is Yuan Shu, their own people are out of battle, and everyone has not yet sat on the buttocks to let Hua Xiong cut it, and the face is really unbearable.

He lowered his head and didn't look at Yuan Shao again, and Yuan Shao didn't look at him anymore, but looked at Han Fu. Han Fu was shocked, Han Fu suppressed Yuan Shao in every way before, even if Yuan Shao raised troops against Dong Han Fu, he would not give him enough food, and now it is clear that he wants to embarrass him.

Han Fu hurriedly stepped forward: "Pan Feng, the lieutenant general of our army, will definitely take Huaxiong's head!" As he spoke, a member of the general behind him stepped forward and flew off the stage.

……

Hua Xiong sat on his horse, looked at another general coming out on the opposite side, then turned around and raised his sword at the soldiers above and below the Bishui Pass, and the soldiers immediately shouted, completely suppressing the momentum of the coalition forces on the opposite side.

Pan Feng came to the formation and arched his hand and said, "Admiral Pan Feng, come to receive the lesson." With that, he rushed over with his horse.

Hua Xiong smiled slightly, "This person is refreshing and interesting." And he also led his horse to meet him.

Pan Feng also made a big knife, and when he handed over the horse, the blade slashed horizontally and slashed at Hua Xiong's shoulder. Hua Xiong held the knife in his backhand, set up Pan Feng's knife with a long handle, then pushed the handle with his right hand and looked out with his left hand, and slapped Pan Feng's back with the back of the knife. Pan Fenglian led the horse forward for several steps before he stabilized, turned around to drive the horse, and slashed at Huaxiong from the outside with a big knife. Hua Xiong sighed slightly, shook his head, and did not drive the war horse, but hung the big knife on the right side, and when Pan Feng rushed to his side, he instantly exerted his strength, picked up from the bottom, and slashed Pan Feng's entire right arm with the big knife and flew out, Pan Feng screamed in pain, but only for a moment, Hua Xiong's knife was slammed back by his right hand and swept over Pan Feng's shoulder. Pan Feng's head flew out with his helmet attached. Hua Xiong slowly retracted his knife and hung down on the ground again.

The coalition forces were silent in the formation, and there was a cheer from the top and bottom of the Bishui Pass.

"Report! General Pan and Hua Xiong exchanged horses and horses, and they were also cut off the horse! The herald ran up and shouted in panic.

"Ahh Pan Feng! Han Fu screamed, almost not crying.

Yuan Shao didn't bother to look at him, looking around, all the princes avoided his gaze, and he couldn't help but sigh, "Alas! Knowing this, even if General Ben only brought Yan Liangwen and Chou to come, how could he allow this Huaxiong to be rampant! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Fei, who was standing behind Liu Bei, touched the fake beard on his chin, smiled slightly, and looked at Guan Yu with his eyes. Guan Yu shook his head slightly, and motioned with his eyes to look at the sitting eldest brother. Liu Bei just looked at the herald with an expressionless face. Zhang Fei leaned forward a little and whispered, "Big brother, it's better to let the second brother go." ”

"Third brother, there are naturally fierce generals among the princes who can kill Huaxiong, so we don't want to have much trouble." Liu Bei replied in a low voice.

"That's the case, but since we came, any of the princes has looked at us with a straight eye, and if they don't take this opportunity to name us, I'm afraid that this time, we can only sit still."

Liu Bei thought for a while, sighed, and nodded.

Zhang Fei stood up straight and looked at Guan Yu with a smile.

Liu Bei slowly stood up and came to the middle, "Yuan League Lord, my three brothers have not made an inch of merit since they met the Alliance, I beg Yuan League Master for permission to let my second brother Guan Yu go to fight Huaxiong." ”

Yuan Shao looked at Liu Bei, "Xuande has a heart, but this Huaxiong is really powerful, I'm afraid your second brother is not his opponent." ”

Liu Bei's face did not change, and he said calmly: "Don't worry, Lord Yuan, my second brother will go back when he goes." ”

Cao Cao, who was sitting on the right-hand side, had been looking at the map, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but raise his head and look this way. Seeing Liu Bei following the two people in front of him, the man on the left had a red face, and the long hair on his chest was fluttering, revealing a sense of arrogance. I saw that the man stepped forward and arched his hand and said, "Guan Yu will kill Huaxiong." ”

Cao Cao suddenly felt that these three people were very different from the other princes, although they were dressed a little shabby, they exuded a heroic spirit, so he stepped forward, "Come on, serve wine." ”

In the surprised eyes of the other princes, Cao Cao stepped forward with wine, "A bottle of warm wine, I wish Your Excellency success." ”

Guan Yu pressed the wine glass with his hand and said with a smile: "Stay to celebrate." After speaking, he turned around and got off the stage.

……

The coalition army opened in the middle of the formation, and Guan Yu rode out on a horse, but he was not like the two generals in front, but he just let the horse walk slowly by himself, dragging the knife and slowly approaching Huaxiong.

Hua Xiong couldn't help but wonder, who is this person, why not sign up?

"Who's coming?"

Guan Yu's horse still walked forward slowly, and did not answer, and this sense of oppression made Hua Xiong very uncomfortable. Unlike the fighting and shouting tactics, this silent suppression is more intimidating to the enemy.

Finally, Hua Xiong couldn't bear this feeling of oppression anymore, roared, and led his horse to rush towards Guan Yu. He leveled the long knife and slashed sideways with both hands. But it didn't happen as he expected, and the strength of the knife stopped abruptly.

Hua Xiong fixed his eyes and saw that his blade was blocked by Guan Yu's knife. Guan Yu just stuck the end of the knife into the ground, holding the handle of the knife with his right hand to block his attack, while his left hand was holding his long hair at the moment. What's even more terrifying is that Guan Yu didn't move from beginning to end, and he didn't even turn his head, he just looked down at himself from the corner of his eye.

Hua Xiong instinctively turned the horse's head, left Guan Yu's side, and after adjusting his breathing, Hua Xiong drove the horse forward again, and the long knife slashed diagonally from top to bottom.

Guan Yu still didn't move, sitting on the horse and looking at Hua Xiong with a knife steadily. Just when Hua Xiong's knife was about to slash at the top of his head, Guan Yu suddenly exerted his strength and picked up the long knife from his right backhand.

Hua Xiong's broadsword was blown away, and he was also shocked to the back of his horse. He clearly knew that the bone in his right hand was also broken.

Guan Yu was still looking down at him, but as his gaze fell, there was a strong blade.

"Ahh The long knife slashed deep into Hua Xiong's right shoulder, and blood dripped down the long knife.

Guan Yu turned his head for the first time, looked at Hua Xiong squarely and said:

"Under the nameless general, Guan Yu."
