Chapter 637 Cheng Yu’s broken hand
It is said that Cao Xiu danced with Zaoyang and fought against Xu Chu's Fire Cloud Sword. Fortunately, Xiahou Dun and Xia Houyuan arrived in time. The three of them worked together to receive Xu Chu's shocking blow, and Cao Xiu escaped death.
Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan were both top generals in Cao's army. Seeing that Xu Chu looked like a madman, they couldn't help but gasp. Although he tried to dissuade him in every possible way, Xu Chu just refused to bow his head. He held the Fire Cloud Sword across his chest, fighting one against three, without fear.
Xiahou Dun tightened the Qilin Ya in his hand. His one eye had just recovered from the injury. He covered one eye with a black eyepatch and looked at Xu Chu with a livid face. His whole face looked very distorted. Xia Houyuan also didn't know what to do. His horses staggered unnaturally, keeping a distance from Cao Xiu and Xiahou Dun. The three of them formed a cross-shaped formation and surrounded Xu Chu at the core, which was very similar to the time when Liu Guan and Zhang Sanying fought against Lu Bu.
Xu Chu Zhiyong was famous all over the world. In terms of martial arts, he was inferior to Zhao Yun and Lu Bu, but he was superior because of his majestic momentum, superb internal strength, and the assistance of the Fire Cloud Sword, so he was able to march forward in an army of millions. If they fight alone, the Xiahou brothers may not necessarily be Xu Chu's opponents.
The three generals of the Cao family are in the same mind at this moment, and they all know that they must work together to capture Xu Chu in order to resolve this matter. It's just that Xu Chu's crime is not worthy of death. If he fights with all his strength, his life will inevitably be hurt. When the time comes, he doesn't know how to treat his master.
The air seemed to be stagnant, and the military advisor Cheng Yu, who was watching the battle from behind, suddenly shouted: "Take them all!" The tiger and leopard cavalry separated Xu Chu's soldiers and drove them away. Seeing that the situation was not good, those soldiers no longer had the courage to fight. The momentum was like a rainbow. At this moment, they all dropped their weapons and were driven away by the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry like captives. They squatted at the base of the wall with their heads in their hands.
When Xia Houyuan heard Cheng Yu's violent shouting, he couldn't help but frowned. He didn't want Cheng Yu to be proud. He turned around and winked at his subordinates. The only way to resolve the matter was to ask the prime minister to resolve it himself. The men quietly beat the horses and disappeared into the darkness. Xia Houyuan turned around and snorted softly, with a hint of femininity in his voice: "Zhongkang, the young master and Young Master Dian Wei are dead and cannot be resurrected. Now the Prime Minister has ordered you to take over Dian Wei's place." Wei, become the new guard commander, do you know that this position represents absolute trust?"
Although the sound was small, it spread clearly in the dark night, showing Xia Houyuan's extraordinary internal strength. Xu Chu's body trembled slightly, the prime minister's guard commander? Absolute trust? These words came from Xia Houyuan's mouth and seemed to be absolutely convincing.
Xia Houyuan saw the flames in Xu Chu's eyes extinguished and his pupils returned to dark brown, and then said: "My lord will go on a personal expedition tomorrow and lead the entire army to chase the traitors Yang Feng and Han Siam. That is the real revenge! Let the soldiers have a good rest tonight, and then I'm going to see the lord. You will be responsible for the formation of the guard, and you will need to select the team members yourself."
After Xu Chu heard this, he finally calmed down, and the flaming internal power of the Huoyun Sword began to slowly extinguish. Cao Xiu and others felt the pressure lighten, and they couldn't help but sigh at the evil of the Huoyun Sword. Seeing that the matter was about to be resolved, Cheng Yu suddenly shouted loudly from behind: "Get Xu Chu for disobedience!"
Xiahou Dun thought it was going to be bad, and sure enough, the Fire Cloud Sword shined brightly again, and spun out of his hand, quickly forming a huge fire wheel perpendicular to the ground. Xu Chu pointed his finger in the distance, and the fire wheel flew along a parabola in the direction of Cheng Yu. Then he left with an unparalleled power, seemingly capable of breaking through all obstacles. There was only a "buzz" sound from the compressed air, and the fire wheel of the Fire Cloud Sword had passed through the gap between Cao Xiu's three generals, crossed the dark empty space of more than ten feet, and came to Cheng Yu's eyes at high speed.
The three generals did not expect Xu Chu to fly out the Fire Cloud Sword and injure the enemy. By the time they reacted, they were unable to save him. They saw the fire wheel flying towards Cheng Yu with an indomitable momentum. They imagined that Cheng Yu was about to be split into two halves. He closed his eyes and couldn't bear to see Cheng Yu's miserable condition again. If Cheng Yu died, Xu Chu would also die. Unexpectedly, Cao Ang's death would cause such great turmoil.
In this battle of Runan, if the young master, the guard commander, the military advisor, and the leading general all die unexpectedly, everything will be lost. What's the use of getting a small Runan? With the remaining 200,000 troops and insufficient food and fodder, it is not as simple as talking on paper to eliminate Yuan Shu, not to mention that Zhao Yun, Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang are all watching behind Cao Jun.
The initial ambition of Cao's army during the southern expedition has been exhausted now. The sergeants just want to return home safely, and their morale is getting lower and lower. Cao Cao was angry for a moment and tried to capture Runan. It can be said that Cao Cao should be fully responsible for the strategic mistakes.
At the same time that Cheng Yu was about to die, Cao Cao was supporting Xia Houmao and walked towards the military bed. Cao Cao suffered from headaches intermittently, and the handsome face of his beloved son Cao Ang appeared in Cao Cao's mind from time to time. You must have a good rest tonight before you can go to the battlefield tomorrow to pursue Yang Feng and Han Xian and avenge your beloved son and beloved general. In Cao Cao's mind, he was already thinking about how to attack the Luohe defense line and quickly occupy Xu County after crossing the river.
As soon as Cao Cao lay down on the bed, he wanted to tell Xia Houmao to go down and rest, but suddenly there was a loud sound outside the gate, followed by a series of reports: "Prime Minister, something serious has happened!"
Xia Houmao was furious in his heart. Cao Cao finally lay down to rest for a while, but someone came to disturb him again. He drew his sword and walked towards the door. The visitor didn't wait for the announcement and pushed open the dormitory door and entered. Xia Houmao almost struck him down with a sword. He recognized the person who was his uncle's retainer and said with a cold face: "Don't make any noise!"
The retainer trembled with fright and hurriedly told the whole story. Hearing that the matter was urgent, Xiahou Mao knew that he could not hide it. He turned over and saw that Cao Cao was already sitting on the bed and putting on his boots. He understood and shouted to the retainer: "Give it to the Prime Minister." Prepare your horses!”
Cao Cao heard clearly just now and knew that he was the only one who could appease Xu Chu's heart, so he didn't hesitate and immediately went to Xu Chu when he got sick. The Xiahou retainers led the way, and Cao Cao rode Gray Shadow and trotted all the way to the scene of the incident.
Finally reaching the outside of Rencong, Xia Houmao shouted: "The Prime Minister is here, make way!" When Rencong heard that the Prime Minister was coming in person, he immediately made way for a passage. Cao Cao rode in. When he reached the end of the passage, he saw a military horse. He was cut into two parts lengthwise, his internal organs were flying everywhere, and the ground was bloody and muddy. He couldn't help but shout: "Where is Xu Chu?"
The sergeant next to him didn't dare to say anything. Xia Houmao suddenly let out a cry of surprise: "Whose severed hand is this?"
When Cao Cao turned around to look, he saw that there was indeed a severed hand on the ground, which was cut off at the wrist. In the severed hand, there was also a thin long sword. Cao Cao recognized that it was the buzzing rapier he had given to Cheng Yu for self-defense. With a groan, he grabbed a soldier by the collar and picked it up. "Tell me, what happened? Where is the military advisor?"
The soldier was born with a stutter. He was so nervous at this moment that he couldn't hold back a word for a long time. He stared at Cao Cao for a long time, but Cao Cao pulled out the Yitian Sword and chopped it into two pieces. The bloody sword pointed at another soldier and asked: "Say!"
The man was from near Yanjing, and he spoke very fluently. He quickly poured beans into the bamboo tube and told what happened one by one. It turned out that Xu Chu was so angry that he flew out the Fire Cloud Sword. Cheng Yu was caught off guard and was bound to die. Fortunately, the war horse was born with intelligence. When he saw the fire clouds in front of him, he shuddered, shaking Cheng Yu from his sitting posture on the saddle bridge, and the Fire Cloud Sword flew past. Still splitting the war horse into two pieces, he also cut off the right hand of Cheng Yu who was holding the sword as he was leaning forward. The remaining part of the war horse fell to the ground with a rumble, and the buzzing rapier attached to his right hand fell to the edge of the world with a clang. .
After the Yanjing soldier described the horrific scene, he quickly added: "Senior Cheng Yu fell to the ground and was seriously injured. General Cao Xiu has taken him to the military doctor to stop the bleeding. General Xu knew that he had caused a big disaster, so he turned his horse and did not know where to go. Xiahou Dun and Xia Houyuan The two generals led the army in pursuit."
Cao Cao heard what this man said clearly and nodded: "Take us to where the military doctor is." He picked up Cheng Yu's right hand and saw that his knuckles were still tightly wrapped around the sword handle. He couldn't help but murmured to Xia Houmao: "I heard that Qinglong Hua Tuo, a famous doctor in Nanyang, Jingzhou, is able to regenerate his severed hands and reconstruct his broken legs. I wonder if Military Master Cheng can still reattach his right hand?"
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
