Chapter XXXVIII

Everyone looked at the bloody severed hand on the ground, and then turned their heads to look at the majestic Guan Yu, dozens of pairs of eyes were as wide as copper bells, and their mouths were wide open, so they could stuff a goose egg.

Cao Cao obviously didn't expect that he just looked at Guan Yu's abnormal appearance, at most he was just a draw with Hua Xiong, but the ending was beyond his expectations. The most surprised people were the alliance leaders Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, who looked down on Guan Yu from the beginning of the fight, and even wanted to beat him out with sticks......

After a long time, everyone came back to their senses and scrambled to ask.

"This ...... The severed hand of the earth...... Who is it? ”

"Why are you so fast...... Coming back so soon, how did it end up in your fight? ”

"Thinking that Huaxiong is fierce and cruel, how can he spare people's lives? Could it be ...... Could it be that you took the opportunity to sneak back? ”

With so many mouths, there is really anything to say, Guan Yu looked at everyone's squirming mouths, and his ears seemed to be about to explode. At this time, Cao Cao peeked at Yuan Shao, his face was a little unsightly, and he suddenly had a plan.

"Everyone, be quiet!" Cao Cao coughed lightly, then stood up, walked to the tent and said loudly. As soon as the words fell, the military tent, which was originally full of people, instantly became silent. Then, Cao Cao stabilized his mind and said to Guan Yu: "Let me ask you, whose severed hand belongs to the ground?" ”

"Hua Xiong!" Guan Yu's voice is like a bronze bell, calm and relaxed, as if it is a very common thing. As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and Cao Cao's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly asked: "...... Huaxiong?"

"I'm really sorry, after I cut off Hua Xiong's left hand, he abandoned the knife and fled! My horse wasn't fast, so I couldn't catch up with him, so I let him run! When Guan Yu said the end, his eyes were dim, and his face was very regretful. But he didn't know that in everyone's hearts, there had already been a thousand waves, and the famous Huaxiong would end up like this.

And what is even more shocking than this is that Guan Yu, this little horse archer, actually has such extraordinary martial arts, if there is still a slightly hot wine in front of him, it is really unbelievable. At this time, Cao Cao looked up to the sky and laughed, and when he came back to his senses, he suddenly patted Guan Yu's shoulder and said excitedly: "Okay, what a brave and extraordinary Guan Yunchang, I really didn't misunderstand you!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the other princes reacted, and applauded and applauded them, and the words of praise were endless, and Guan Yu took the cup of warm wine and drank it all, his eyes flashed with excitement, it was really happy to be able to show his skills in front of so many princes, and then be appreciated!

Suddenly, Zhang Fei turned out behind Liu Bei, his face was like black charcoal, and he shouted loudly: "My brother defeated Hua Xiong, he should take advantage of the situation to lead troops into the customs and capture that Dong Zhuo dog thief alive!" After that, Yuan Shu slammed the table, his eyes were on fire, and he roared angrily: "We people also have to think twice, you are just a subordinate of a small county order, you dare to speak wildly, come on, drive all these three guys out of me!" ”

Before he could finish speaking, Cao Cao walked to his side, smiled and comforted: "As long as there is merit, it should be rewarded, how can you do this, isn't it chilling?" ”

The other princes had already seen the discord between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's brothers, and usually pretended not to know. And this time, it is clear that Guan Yu has made a great contribution and defeated Hua Xiong, not to mention that there is no reward, and he has to be driven out, which is too much! Although they didn't speak, their faces showed disgruntle, and they muttered to the people around them.

Yuan Shao saw that his younger brother's words made everyone dissatisfied, and if he spoke out to protect him, he would definitely lose the people's hearts and prestige, so he had to look at Yuan Shu vigorously. However, Cao Cao seemed to have guessed his trick a long time ago, and continued to add fuel to the fire: "He just said a word, you shouldn't care about it, don't take it to heart!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Shu was suddenly furious, so angry that his hair stood up, and he almost shouted: "According to your meaning, I, Yuan Shu, am the villain who cares?" ”

"Hey, you're so hearty!" Cao Cao grabbed Yuan Shu's sleeve, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said with a smile. And Yuan Shu pulled his sleeves and found that Cao Cao was so strong that he couldn't pull it out, while the other princes all looked at him with strange eyes.

"Okay, since you look at a county order like this, then I will retire!" Before the words fell, only a "bang" sound was heard, and Yuan Shu pulled violently, his sleeve was torn off, and he fell to the ground. And Yuan Shu snorted coldly, didn't even look at it, and walked away......

Cao Cao was stunned for a long time before he reacted, turned to face Yuan Shao, looked aggrieved, and said with a wry smile: "Alliance leader, you see I didn't say anything, it's all for the sake of our great cause of crusading against Dong Thief!" Others don't understand me, you should understand me, alliance leader! Before he finished speaking, Yuan Shao waved his hand, his eyes were half-open and half-closed, and he pretended to be calm and said: "It's okay, you are also starting from the overall situation, I will persuade him well!" ”

At this time, Cao Cao didn't say much, sat down quietly, while drinking, talking and laughing with the princes, Yuan Shao looked at Cao Cao more and more angry, and kept forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart. After a while, Yuan Shao saw that Huaxiong was defeated and retreated, and there was nothing to do today for the time being, and besides, it was not early, so he asked all the princes to go back to their respective camps.

When these people are gone, "poof"! Yuan Shao opened his mouth, and blood arrows erupted, splashing all around. "Alliance Leader!" The attendants beside him were so frightened that they hurriedly stepped forward to support Yuan Shao, who was extremely weak. "Cao Cao...... Cao Cao...... I'm mad at me! This person is very deep in the city, and he is bound to ...... It will become a big disaster......" Yuan Shao said weakly, his face became more and more pale, and his expression was sluggish......

Let's say that after Liu Bei left with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he returned to his small tent, and the three of them were sullen and drank alone. "Big brother, second brother, they are too much of a thing, obviously the second brother has made a great contribution, don't say anything if there is no reward, and ......" Zhang Fei looked angry, and before he could finish speaking, Liu Bei hurriedly covered his mouth and whispered: "This is the barracks, don't talk nonsense!" ”

Zhang Fei listened to Liu Bei's words, bowed his head and drank, and the whole person was not good. Guan Yu and Liu Bei glanced at each other, sighed helplessly, and stopped talking. Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps outside, Liu Bei's faces changed greatly, and when they were about to go out to explore, several people walked in slowly with delicious food.

"Several, what do you mean?" Liu Bei pointed to the delicacies on the table, and said to the visitor suspiciously.

"A few are polite, I'm sent by Gong Cao to deliver wine and food to the three of them!" One of the leaders stood up and replied with a smile. After Liu Bei heard this, he nodded lightly, and then said: "The three of us have low statuses, how can we make Cao Gong miss him so much?" ”

"General Guan is brave and defeated Hua Xiong, which is really a hero! The lord said that the three of them are heroes and heroes, and they will definitely make a difference in the future! The current conditions are limited, these are just ordinary drinks and dishes, I hope you don't mind! The leader smiled and spoke without a drop of water.
