As all the eighteen princes arrived, Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, ordered the march.
Two to three hundred thousand soldiers and horses set out for Luoyang in a mighty manner.
Like the historical process, Yuan Shao took Sun Jian, the governor of Jiangdong, as his vanguard.
Sun Jian was worthy of being called the Tiger of Jiangdong, attacking the city all the way to Sishui Pass.
However, Yuan Shu was too cautious and did not want Sun Jian to be in the limelight, so he deliberately did not distribute food and grass.
As a result, Sun Jian was defeated!
…
The camp of the coalition of princes.
Yuan Shao sat at the main seat, and the other princes took their seats in turn.
Yang Ling, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, Xiahou Dun and others stood behind Cao Cao.
"Hua Xiong has strong soldiers and horses and superb martial arts. He defeated General Bao Zhong previously, but now even General Wentai is no match for him. Do you have any opinions?"
After suffering two consecutive defeats, Yuan Shao had to gather a group of princes to discuss military matters.
All the princes remained silent, each having their own plans in mind.
They all knew that the reason why Sun Jian was defeated by Hua Xiong was because Yuan Shu did not distribute food and grass.
In this case, they would only ask for a fight unless they were fools.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Cao Cao's eyes flashed with helplessness.
Sure enough, as Yang Ling said, these people are scheming with each other and harboring hidden agendas. They are not sincerely helping the Han Dynasty at all!
At this moment, suddenly a messenger rushed into the camp and said loudly,
"Leader of the alliance, Hua Xiong led the Xiliang army to yell and curse in front of the camp!"
"What a great Hua Xiong. He really doesn't know how to live or die. Could it be that he thinks that everyone in our coalition army can't succeed?"
Yuan Shao was furious and looked around at everyone present.
"Who dares to go and fight Hua Xiong?!"
"I want to go!"
The one who asked for a fight was naturally Yu She, Yuan Shu's general.
Yuan Shao was overjoyed and said quickly,
"We await the general's triumphant return!"
However, just a moment later, I saw the messenger running back again.
"Reporting to the alliance leader, Yu She was beheaded by Hua Xiong in just three rounds!"
Immediately afterwards, Pan Feng, the unparalleled general, asked for a fight, but was beheaded by Hua Xiong again!
"A mere Hua Xiong is so powerful. If Lu Bu comes..."
"What should we do?!"
The expressions of all the princes suddenly changed!
"It's a pity that my generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou are not here, otherwise it would be Hua Xiong's turn to be arrogant!"
Yuan Shao sighed.
Seeing that everyone was helpless, Liu Bei winked at Guan Yu and whispered,
"Second brother, this is the time for you to take the initiative to kill Hua Xiong and become famous in one battle!"
"Here!"
Guan Yu clenched the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand, and just when he was about to get out of the crowd, he heard a loud voice,
"To the leader of the alliance, my second brother Dian Wei is brave enough to kill Hua Xiong. It's no big deal!"
Yes, it was Yang Ling who spoke!
When he saw the look of astonishment on the faces of Liu Bei's three brothers, the corners of Yang Ling's mouth could not help but turn up slightly.
Just kidding, if I don't show up, Guan Yu will warm the wine and kill Hua Xiong next.
Not only did Guan Yu steal the show, but Liu Bei also became famous!
How could I give up such a good opportunity to you, the big-eared thief?
"Oh it's you."
Yuan Shao took a closer look and landed on Dian Wei next to Yang Ling.
"What is your second brother's current position?"
"He is currently under my command and is responsible for guarding the food and supplies."
Yang Ling said slowly.
Hearing this, Yuan Shu couldn't help but sneered and said sarcastically,
"Then Hua Xiong is a fierce general in Xiliang. Your second brother is just a small soldier. How dare you take the initiative to ask for a fight?"
"Heroes don't care where they come from. My second brother is so powerful that it's rare in the world! I guarantee with my head on my neck that he can definitely take down Hua Xiong!"
Yang Ling didn't bother to talk nonsense to Yuan Shu and directly issued a military order.
"Since he is so confident, he might as well let his second brother give it a try."
Seeing Yang Ling's confidence, Cao Cao nodded and smiled.
If Dian Wei could kill Hua Xiong, his face would be bright.
When Cao Cao opened his mouth, Yuan Shao couldn't refuse, so he could only nod in agreement.
"Brother, what are you..."
Dian Wei accepted his duties in a daze, and while wearing his armor, he looked at Yang Ling in confusion.
"Have you forgotten what brother said before?"
Yang Ling smiled and said,
"As long as you kill Hua Xiong today, wouldn't it be a great achievement!"
"Brother, do you have that much confidence in me?"
Dian Wei said hesitantly.
"Of course I'm confident, otherwise I wouldn't guarantee it with my life. Don't let me live up to my brother's expectations!"
Yang Ling said with a smile.
Hearing that he trusted him so much, Dian Wei felt warm in his heart, nodded vigorously, and said solemnly,
"Don't worry, brother, I won't let you down!"
Seeing Dian Wei tidy up, Cao Cao waved and said,
"Come here, pour a glass of hot wine to see off the strong man Dian Wei!"
Dian Wei raised his head and said loudly,
"Don't worry, wait until I kill Hua Xiong and then drink!"
He handed over to Yang Ling, and then left the camp in a hurry.
After Dian Wei left, the tent fell into silence.
Everyone waited patiently for the spies' report.
"Sir, you are so sure, can Dian Wei defeat Hua Xiong?"
Cao Cao was still a little worried.
Although he had seen Dian Wei fight Guan Yu, he still knew nothing about Dian Wei's true strength.
And the person Dian Wei wants to fight is Xiliang's fierce general Hua Xiong!
"Even if Mr. Cao keeps his heart in his heart, nothing will happen to him!"
Yang Ling chuckled.
joke.
Dian Wei is a strong man who can squeeze into the top ten. If he can't even win Hua Xiong, he might as well wipe his neck and be reborn.
really.
After a while, the drums outside the pass were loudly beating, and there was a burst of cheers.
While all the princes in the tent were confused, they heard heavy footsteps.
I saw Dian Wei striding in, throwing what he was carrying on the ground, and said in a deep voice,
"Replying to the leader of the alliance, I am fortunate to have lived up to my command!"
Everyone took a closer look and saw that what was still on the ground was Hua Xiong's head!
"Dian Wei is so skilled!"
Yuan Shao is overjoyed!
All the princes looked at Dian Wei with surprise!
Hua Xiong was so famous that he killed two generals of the coalition army, but he was killed by Dian Wei so quickly?
This Dianwei is too strong!
"Thank you for your hard work, Dian Wei!"
Cao Cao also smiled brightly and personally brought the still-hot wine glass to Dian Wei.
"Thank you, Mr. Cao, for your kindness."
Dian Wei took the wine glass and said respectfully.
Looking at the burly Dian Wei in front of him, Cao Cao felt like a cat's claws were scratching his heart, and he wanted to ask Yang Ling to bring Dian Wei over!
"Sir, you really have a good second brother!"
Cao Cao said sourly.
After Yang Ling heard this, he just laughed.
After Dian Wei killed Hua Xiong, not only was he in the limelight, but Yang Ling's fame also greatly increased.
All the princes came forward one after another and talked to Yang Ling with smiles.
Their purpose is also very simple, just to win over Yang Ling so that Dian Wei can be used by them!
When Cao Cao saw this, he immediately stood in front of Yang Ling, fearing that Yang Ling would be lured away by them!
…
After Hua Xiong died, the army he brought naturally collapsed and retreated.
After the coalition forces cleared the battlefield, they continued to march westward.
