Originally, he thought that he could help Huang Zu. After all, he was a rare and staunch anti-Cao faction. Who knew that this guy was determined to seek death, which was exactly what Liu Qi wanted.
Huang She sent people to ask for help, and just in time to capture Jiangxia, Liu Qi immediately sent Guan Yu to lead elite troops to rush to the rescue.
With Guan Yu in charge of Jiangxia, the southeast will be completely peaceful!
In the Battle of Nanyang, Li Dian saw that Cao's army was defeated and committed tragic acts, so he finally surrendered. Liu Qi ordered him to join the army as Guan Yu, and the two of them supplemented their military strategy.
A person can only feel confident in front of the people closest to him, because he knows where the bottom line is, and his relatives will try their best to tolerate him.
Although Liu Qi took over Liu Bei's team, it was not a brotherhood after all, but a subordinate relationship.
Nowadays, Guan Yu does not have the eldest brother Liu Bei to protect him, and his temper has become somewhat restrained.
Coupled with the fact that Li Dian, who was both a teacher and a friend, joined the army to assist him, he should not make any big mistakes again.
Unexpectedly, it was already June, and Zhuge Liang's wedding was approaching. Liu Qi asked him to return to Xiangyang first, and then come to attend the wedding after all arrangements in Nanyang were completed.
According to Zhuge Liang, although Huang Chengyan was a famous scholar in Xiangyang, he was not a descendant of Confucius, but a descendant of the Mohist family. Equipment such as the Liannu were all in Huang Chengyan's home.
No wonder it is rumored that Huang Yueying was of great help to Zhuge Liang. It turns out that she is the technology boss hidden behind the scenes.
Liu Qi and the Cai family turned against each other. Although Huang Chengyan said nothing, there was still a layer of estrangement after all, and he wanted to take this opportunity to resolve their grudges.
If we can take over everything from the Mo family and recruit some skilled craftsmen to specialize in developing weapons, Jingzhou's combat power will be even higher.
Liu Qi was very happy to have gained a lot from this battle, and he had surrendered to two generals, Jin and Li Dian. However, Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun, two hot potatoes, had not yet figured out how to deal with them.
Killing these two men will definitely lead to revenge from Cao's army, which is not a wise move, but if they are put back, it will undoubtedly cause trouble for themselves. Even if they are exchanged for some money and food, the two armies will fight in the future, and they will not be sorry for the soldiers who died in the battle!
Although the possibility of persuading the two to surrender was slim, Liu Qi still asked Zhang Fei and Yi Ji to try. He didn't know what the situation was now.
After Cao Ren was captured, he went on a hunger strike for three days. Although he was persuaded to change his mind, he remained locked up and refused to see anyone. He was captured twice.
Xiahou Dun was used as a hostage to hold Cao Cao hostage in Baihe. After he came back, he was a little delirious and looked like a wild beast biting anyone. Zhang Fei simply took him to the military camp to find someone to compete in martial arts.
Nowadays, the military camp is extremely lively. Challenging Xiahou Dun has become one of the criteria for selecting generals. Liu Qi simply ordered that every time he survives ten times, he will be promoted to one level, and there will be additional rewards.
The enthusiasm for military training in the camp was unprecedentedly high. The soldiers practiced martial arts hard, and people came to challenge them every day.
Xu Shu suspected that Xiahou Dun was pretending to be crazy and wanted to take the opportunity to escape, so he secretly sent people to monitor them. These two big fish could not be let go in vain.
After Liu Qi saw that Cao Ren was rejected, he came to visit Xiahou Dun in the camp. When he arrived at the door, he heard a burst of cheers.
Then Xiahou Dun shouted: "Who else——"
When he walked into the attic of Dianjiangtai, he saw Xiahou Dun holding a wooden stick in his hand, standing shirtless, with bulging muscles all over his body, dripping with sweat and glistening under the scorching sun.
Zhang Fei sat under the pergola with his legs crossed, poured a bowl of wine and laughed: "One-eyed dragon, you did a good job, come and have a drink!"
Xiahou Dun strode over, took the bowl and drank in one gulp, staring at Zhang Fei with one eye, and said in a deep voice: "Call me Second Uncle!"
The audience burst into laughter immediately. Zhang Fei did not argue with him. He stared at the audience while stroking his stubble, and shouted: "How can you still smile with all these losers?"
The soldiers immediately covered their mouths with helplessness on their faces. Although Xiahou Dun was a prisoner, he was also a general of Cao Ying. How could he be so easy to deal with?
"Everyone, Xiahou Dun has won eight games in a row. Is it unbearable or unbearable?"
Mi Fang, who was in charge of registering military merits on the other side, couldn't help but stand up and said loudly: "We can't let the one-eyed dragon take the limelight and lose the prestige of our Jingzhou Army. Hurry...ah? What, what do you want to do?"
Mi Fang was encouraging all the soldiers in the battalion to come to the stage to challenge. Suddenly, she saw Xiahou Dun striding over with a sullen face, and she suddenly panicked.
Xiahou Dun ran over in a few steps, grabbed Mi Fang by the collar, dragged him to the center of the stage, and punched him.
Mi Fang quickly dodged and shouted: "I did not challenge..."
Xiahou Dun didn't care so much, and kicked and punched Mi Fang, but Mi Fang had to parry and dodge. The soldiers cheered again, allowing Mi Fang to save face for the Jingzhou army.
However, Mi Fang barely managed to parry for four or five times, but was beaten to the ground by Xiahou Dun, punching and kicking her and refusing to give up.
Only then did Zhang Fei realize that something was wrong. He quickly stepped forward and grabbed Xiahou Dun's wrist, shouting: "Stop!"
Mi Fang got up from the ground in embarrassment, with a bruised nose and swollen face, and bleeding from the corners of her mouth. She cursed with a ferocious face: "You're crazy, you crazy dog."
Zhang Fei glared at Xiahou Dun and shouted: "He didn't challenge him, why did you hit him?"
Xiahou Dun threw Zhang Fei away and said coldly: "Who dares to mention the word 'one-eyed dragon', I will beat the shit out of him."
Zhang Fei glared: "I screamed just now, why didn't you do it?"
Xiahou Dun crossed his arms and turned his head: "I can't beat you!"
"It's good to know!" Zhang Fei tilted his head and looked at Xiahou Dun: "It's not too crazy."
Xiahou Dun ignored it, walked to the stage, scanned the soldiers on the field, and said coldly: "Who else has itchy skin? Come up and get beaten!"
Liu Qi looked at Xiahou Dun, who was looking down at the audience, and sighed in his heart. Although he was jokingly called a defeated general, there is no doubt about his bravery and steadfastness.
Although he fights every day to vent his anger, he also shows his strength to everyone and will never give in easily.
Mi Fang was beaten for talking too much and retreated in despair. The soldiers did not dare to come on stage again. Liu Qi asked Liu Neng to invite the two of them to the barracks to talk.
Xiahou Dun also did not salute. Da Ma Jin Dao sat aside, his face as sinking as water.
Liu Qi said: "If Prime Minister Cao refuses to exchange the ransom for the general, I wonder what the general's plan is?"
Xiahou Dun said resolutely: "I have betrayed the prime minister's great trust. If he refuses to forgive me, I don't need you to work for me. I will die as retribution!"
The reason why he and Cao Ren endured the humiliation now was to wait to return to Cao Cao and make meritorious deeds, and they did not want Cao Cao to send troops because of their anger and ruin their great foundation.
Liu Qi sighed softly and said: "If I let the general go back, can you agree to me a condition?"
"Let's talk about it first!" Xiahou Dun looked at Liu Qi warily, knowing that this man was very cunning and would fall into his trap if he was not careful.
Liu Qi said: "If the general comes back, he will be favored by the prime minister. If we fight again, how can I explain to the dead soldiers? I want you to not be my enemy again after you go back. In the future, you will be the target of my military peak." Avoid the edge."
"Liu Qi, don't bully others too much!" Xiahou Dun was furious, stood up and said: "Kill if you want, why humiliate others!"
