Yuan Shao smiled and explained: "It's not because you got some credit for defeating the Yellow Turban bandits, it's because you are a member of the royal family and I give you some face."
Liu Bei sat at the bottom. Zhang Fei was a little dissatisfied, but Liu Bei persuaded him to stop.
Suddenly, spies came to report that Hua Xiong and Li Ru came with their troops. Hua Xiong, the leader, adjusted Sun Jian's red silk gauze in his hand. He cursed and provoked in front of the stronghold, saying: "I think your allies are like straw. They are sent here." Everyone is on my plate, don’t be a coward in the camp, come out and fight me!”
After defeating Sun Jian, Li Ru suggested that Hua Xiong just wait for work in Guanzhong and not take the initiative. However, Yu Yi had a different opinion and believed that challenging Sun Jian this time proved that the alliance army was nothing more than that and there was really nothing to fear. In addition, Hua Xiong The general is so powerful, why not take the initiative to repel them and achieve an unparalleled feat!
In fact, Yu Yi's suggestion was selfish and made full use of Hua Xiong's characteristic of being a military commander who liked to fight fiercely and show off his abilities, and was quickly adopted by Hua Xiong.
Later, Li Ru came to Yu Yi privately and asked why he made this suggestion. Yu Yi just smiled and thought that Li Ru was short-sighted. Because of this incident, the distance between the two became a little wider, but Yu Yi didn't care. As the overall plan to eliminate Dong, I am a spy lurking in Luoyang City, and I always have to be biased when making plans.
In Luoyang City, Situ Wang Yun heard Yu Yi's suggestions and praised them repeatedly, sighing: "There is hope for the Han Dynasty!"
If the other side takes the initiative to provoke them, the Allies will naturally lose face.
Yuan Shao stood up and said: "Which of you dares to go forward and fight, poke the opponent's spirit!"
A man named Yu She behind Yuan Shao's brother Yuan Shu took the initiative and said, "Let me come forward, young general."
Yuan Shao was very happy and sent Yu She off personally.
In less than a cup of tea, someone came to report, "After Yu She went to war, he fought Hua Xiong for less than three rounds, and was killed by Hua Xiong!"
Everyone was surprised, and the prefect Han Fu smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I have General Pan Feng who can kill Hua Xiong."
So Yuan Shao personally sent Pan Feng to fight again. When Pan Feng saw Hua Xiong, he picked up his big ax and rushed over. Hua Xiong smiled slightly and stepped forward to fight. Within a few rounds, Pan Feng was killed again.
In the Allied tent, news came again that Pan Feng had been beheaded.
After hearing this, Yuan Shao beat his chest, sat down on the chair, and said, "It's a pity that my generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou didn't come. If there was one person here, it wouldn't be like this. How could you be afraid of Hua Xiong?"
Someone on Gongsun Zan's side reported in a low voice that they had found someone who looked like Yu Yi. Liu Bei was surprised and only said that Hua Xiong had brought Li Ru with him, but he didn't know that Yu Yi was there.
Guan Yu knew Liu Bei's doubts, so he stood up and said, "I am willing to go out and kill Hua Xiong!"
When everyone looked at him, he was nine feet long, with a beard two feet long, red phoenix eyes, silkworm eyebrows, a face like a heavy jujube, and a sound like a huge bell, standing in front of the tent.
Yuan Shao asked: "Who is this?"
Gongsun Zan came out and replied: "This is Liu Bei's sworn brother, named Guan Yu."
Yuan Shao asked him what his current position was, and he replied: "Follow Liu Bei and serve as a horse archer."
Yuan Shu stood up and yelled loudly, saying: "If you let a horse archer come forward, do you want others to look down on us, knowing that there are no generals in our camp? How can a horse archer speak arrogant words and fight me out!"
Cao Cao stood up at this time and persuaded: "Don't be angry first. Since this person dares to stand up and speak big words, he must have some abilities. If not, let him come forward first. If he can't win, Hua Xiong will also kill him." he."
Yuan Shao laughed and said, "But if we send a horse archer to fight, Hua Xiong will definitely laugh at us."
Cao Cao replied: "The alliance leader is overly worried. You see, Guan Yu looks good and has an extraordinary appearance. If we don't announce it to the public, how does Hua Xiong know that he is a horse archer?"
Yuan Shao was still hesitating, but Guan Yu stepped forward and said, "If you can't kill Hua Xiong's head, please chop off my head."
So Cao Cao personally heated a glass of wine for Guan Yu. After toasting himself, he drank it all in one gulp. Guan Yu put the wine glass aside, jumped onto his horse and said, "Put down the wine first. I'll be back soon!"
Both Yu Yi and Li Ru stood behind Hua Xiong. Hua Xiong killed two generals of the Allied Forces. Li Ru clapped his hands and applauded, but Yu Yi was a little worried.
Suddenly I saw a familiar person coming out of the tent, it was my second brother Guan Yu.
He held the Qinglong Yanyue Sword and rode quickly towards Hua Xiong. After the first two situations, Hua Xiong thought it was some shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and did not pay attention to it. Guan Yu quickly came to Hua Xiong, raised his sword and killed Hua Xiong under his horse.
It was Li Ru's turn to be disappointed. The general died on the spot, so he naturally had to retreat as soon as possible.
"Yu Yi, why don't you leave? That general of the Allied Forces is extremely brave. If it's too late, you won't be able to save your life!"
Li Ru pulled Yu Yi and backed away.
Guan Yu saw Yu Yi at this time. He was in the enemy camp. Because he knew the letters between Liu Bei and Yu Yi, he also understood Yu Yi's situation at this time. He did not pursue too much. He just picked up Hua Xiong's head and walked towards the camp. go.
The princes were discussing the success or failure of Guan Yu's battle. They heard loud beating of drums and loud shouts outside Guan Yu. It was like the sky was shattering and the earth was falling, and the mountains were shaking. Everyone was shocked.
Yuan Shao planned to send someone to investigate the situation, but he didn't expect that before they left, Guan Yu had already returned on horseback, holding Hua Xiong's head in his hand and throwing it to the ground. Cao Cao ordered someone to bring over Guan Yu's unfinished drink. , found that the wine was still warm.
Cao Cao was very happy when he heard Zhang Fei coming out from behind Liu Bei and shouting loudly: "My second brother has killed Hua Xiong. Why don't we take this opportunity to lead the army into Guanzhong and capture Dong Zhuo alive? Otherwise, what will happen?" when?"
Yuan Shu was furious and retorted: "We ministers are very humble. How can you, a nobody, have the qualifications to show off your power here? Come and kick them all out."
Yuan Shu was somewhat arrogant and domineering among the allies, and there must be some indulgence from Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance.
Cao Cao couldn't stand it and said, "Rewards are based on merit. How can you judge people based on their high status?"
Yuan Shu sneered and said: "Since Mr. Cao only values a small county magistrate, we have no use for him and we should resign!"
Cao Cao felt helpless and said, "How can a big event be delayed just by saying a word?" He asked Gongsun Zan to send people to send Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei back to the camp, and everyone dispersed.
Afterwards, Cao Cao secretly sent someone to send some beef, mutton, and wine to comfort the three people.
"Brother, when I killed Hua Xiong today, I saw that my fourth brother Yu Yi was also in Dong Zhuo's army. I wonder how he is doing?"
Guan Yu reported the situation to Liu Bei.
"After the Allied uprising, my fourth brother and I stopped exchanging letters. I don't know what his situation is like."
Liu Bei sighed.
