At this moment, Xiahou Dun realized how important the prime minister's words were.
Zhao Yun's bravery surpassed his own several times.
Xiahou Dun watched Zhao Yun cut the battlefield and helped Guan Yu and Zhang Fei break through.
At sunset, Bowangpo was covered with charred corpses, and blood soaked into the ground.
Liu Bei fled back to Xinye City with his generals.
The injured Xiahou Dun did not dare to pursue easily, and led his troops back to Bowangpo.
The strength of our own side is almost two to three times that of Liu Bei's, but only a tie.
Xiahou Dun was very upset, and wrote a letter to Xudu to Cao Cao overnight.
After Cao Cao got the letter, he comforted Xiahou Dun: Leaving aside the difference in strength, the two armies could be regarded as a tie.You can return to Xudu quickly, and I will send another general to conquer Liu Bei.
Xiahoudun had no choice but to leave Bowang City with his entourage.
When entering Xudu, he was stopped by a drunk in front of the city gate.
Xiahou Dun, who was defeated in the battle, was already full of anger.
Pointing at the other party with a horsewhip: "Who are you, how dare you block your way?"
"Hahaha!" The drunk laughed loudly: "I am Xu You, Xu Ziyuan, you don't know me?"
Xiahou Dun said: "Why do I know you? Why don't you know me?"
Xu You still laughed, pointed at Xiahou Dun and said, "Of course I know you, Xiahou Dun, the defeated general, lost to Liu Bei with a hundred thousand soldiers in the Battle of Bowangpo!"
"Fart!" Xiahou Dun said: "Both armies suffered casualties, at most it was a tie!"
"Hahaha!" Xu You continued to laugh, "But Liu Bei only has [-] troops, how dare you speak bravely?"
Xiahou Dun became anxious, and immediately drew out his sword: "Are you courting death?"
"Are you scaring me?" Xu You got excited.
"Why should I scare you?" Xia Houdun had long disliked Xu You. This guy didn't pay for drinking every day, and even hung up the account of the prime minister, which completely embarrassed Cao Cao.
Xu You pointed at his neck and scolded Xiahou Dun.
"Cao Aman dare not treat me like this, how dare you be so arrogant as a mere defeated general?"
"Today I will give you this chance, let me see if you dare to kill me?"
"Look at how you, a defeated general, took my head and reported it to Cao A!"
Seeing that Xiahoudun was silent, Xu You laughed again and said, "I don't dare to judge you. If I, Xu You and Cao Ah, can't take over Hebei? How dare you kill me? In the next life!"
"Ah!" Xiahou Dun grinned angrily, and immediately swung his sword.
Chapter 120 Xiahou Dun kills Xu You, Liu Xian's reminder
"Shua!" A cold light flashed, and Xu You's head fell to the ground.
At this moment, the people who were watching were scared and fled in all directions.
Even Xiahou Dun's soldiers changed their faces.
Xiahou Dun put away his sword, turned his head and scolded his subordinates: "What are you afraid of? It's just Xu You, if you kill him, you will kill him!"
"The general is mighty!" All the subordinates clasped their fists in respect.
"Take Xu You's head and follow me to see the prime minister!" Xiahoudun finished speaking and drove his horse into the city.
Half an hour later, in the front yard of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Xiahou Dun knelt on one knee, holding Xu You's head.
Cao Cao pointed at Xiahou Dun and scolded: "Xiahou Yuanrang, why are you so confused? Who is Xu You? That is my dear relative, friend and classmate, how dare you kill him?"
Xiahou Dun said loudly: "Prime Minister, it was Xu You who stretched his neck and asked me to chop him!"
"Fart!" Cao Cao said: "It is clear that you have lost the battle, kill Xu You to vent your anger!"
Xiahou Dun said again: "The prime minister said that Liu Bei and I were tied!"
Cao Cao said: "I was comforting you. You lost more than 10 of 3 horses, and now you dare to kill my classmate Xu You? Pull Xiahou Dun out for me and kill him!"
As soon as this remark came out, civil and military officials in the courtyard blocked it one after another.
"Prime Minister, think twice!"
"General Xiahou has been fighting with you for many years, how can you kill him because of a Xu You?"
"General Xiahou must have acted recklessly!"
Xiahou Dun waved his hands and said loudly: "I didn't act recklessly. It was Xu You who bluffed and deceived the prime minister all day long, smearing the prime minister everywhere. He called the prime minister Cao A in public, and said that he was responsible for the peace of Hebei! Is he a fart? It was Mr. Cao Ji's plan, and I will defend the prime minister and Mr. Cao Ji against injustice!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the hall was shocked.
This excuse, this reason, makes people unable to refute it for a while!
Cao Cao shook his head helplessly, pointed at Xiahou Dun and said, "In the Battle of Bowangpo, you should have been rewarded for not chasing Zhao Yun, but you won't be rewarded if you kill Xu You!"
"Thank you, Prime Minister!" Xiahou Dun clasped his hands together.
Cao Cao said again: "You will be fined for three years, and you will no longer be appointed as a pioneer. Go back and think about your mistakes behind closed doors!"
"Obey!" Xiahou Dun cupped his fists, slowly got up and exited the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Civil servants and military generals flocked to comfort Cao Cao to appease his anger.
"Stop making noise, I want to be quiet!" Cao Cao waved his hand and went to the study alone.
That night, Cao Cao took Xu Chu to meet Liu Xian.
Chicken whips, chicken legs, and chicken wishbones have long been prepared.
As soon as Cao Cao took his seat, Lao Huang began to pour wine.
"Hahaha!" Cao Cao laughed, and raised his glass to signal, "It seems that Ziyu expected me to come!"
Liu Xian smiled: "General Yuan Rang was defeated and returned to the city to kill Xu You. Everyone has already known about this!"
Cao Cao patted the table: "Speaking of this matter, I am annoyed!"
"Yes!" Xu Chu nodded: "The Prime Minister is very annoyed!"
"Hahaha!" Liu Xian laughed, looking at Xu Chu: "Zhongkang, why do I think you are more annoyed than the prime minister?"
Xu Chu: "I..."
Cao Cao gave Xu Chu a blank look: "Speak up if you have something to say, don't hide it!"
Xu Chu took a deep breath, and said bluntly, "Prime Minister, I wanted to kill Xu You a long time ago. I went to the tavern to look for him a few days ago, but when he saw me, he turned around and ran away like a mouse seeing a cat!"
"Hahaha!" Several people burst into laughter.
Xu Chu muttered in a low voice: "If I cut Xu You with a big knife, the incision must be flat and there will be no stubble!"
Cao Cao frowned: "What are you talking about?"
"Nothing!" Xu Chu hurriedly shook his head, picked up the jug and poured wine for Cao Cao.
Cao Cao immediately raised his glass to Liu Xian: "A few days ago, Liu Bei set up an ambush at Luochuankou behind Bowangpo and sent Zhao Yun to lead Xiahoudun into the battle. If Mr. Xiahoudun hadn't said something first, Xiahoudun would have led [-] troops into Luochuankou. There is no chance of killing Xu You!"
Liu Xian smiled: "Although General Xiahou is brave, in my opinion it is more suitable for maintaining stability in the rear!"
"En!" Cao Cao nodded heavily, and asked again: "Mr. Yi, in the battle of Bowangpo, if Cao Ren leads the army, what will be the result?"
Liu Xian smiled: "General Cao Ren has the talent of a general. If he were to fight Bowangpo, he would never let Liu Bei take advantage of it."
"Hey! If I knew this, I should have sent Cao Ren to attack Liu Bei." Cao Cao sighed.
Liu Xian said again: "Prime Minister don't need to be depressed, Bowangpo's defeat is due to Liu Bei's improvement. If it were a few years ago, Liu Bei would never be able to get a bargain!"
"Yes!" Cao Cao nodded, "Scholars will treat each other with admiration for three days, but the big-eared thief surprised me. According to Mr. Liu Bei, how should we break Liu Bei?"
Liu Xian raised his glass to signal: "After the battle of Bowangpo, Liu Bei's strength can be seen. If the prime minister sends General Cao Ren to attack Liu Bei, even if Xinye City is captured, Liu Bei escapes and defends Liu Biao's support, and he can still fight again!"
"Yeah!" Cao Cao nodded, and slowly put down his wine glass: "What Mr. said is all about my worries. Liu Bei and Liu Biao are attached to each other, even if they are broken, they will still be connected!"
Liu Xian said bluntly: "Prime Minister, there is no need to worry. I watch the sky at night. Liu Biao's end is approaching. I have a plan to urge him to die!"
Cao Cao laughed loudly: "Sir, tell me quickly, I can't wait!"
Liu Xian explained: "I have checked the information of the school affairs office. Liu Biao is the most famous. After relying on the Han Dynasty, his life is full of luxury, and his travel is the same as that of the emperor!"
"That's right!" Cao Cao nodded, he also knew about this.
Liu Xian said: "The prime minister can search for Liu Biao's crimes, and then tell the world, saying that Liu Biao is usurping and wants to take the throne of the emperor!"
Cao Cao shook his head: "Liu Biao is good at sitting and talking. He is determined to defend himself. He has neither the ambition of the four directions nor the courage to usurp him. At most, he is the emperor of Jingzhou!"
"Hahaha!" Liu Xian laughed, "That's why Liu Biao should be labeled as a usurper!"
"Murder and murder!" Cao Cao laughed.
Liu Xian said: "Everyone knows that Liu Biao dare not and will not usurp, but he, the local emperor of Jingzhou, enjoys the same standard of living as the emperor. Once the hat of usurping is put on his head, Liu Biao will try his best to explain it clearly. How can he not be depressed?"
"Hahaha!" Cao Cao laughed loudly, "Well said!"
Liu Xian added: "Prime Minister took this opportunity to add fuel to the flames. In the spring of next year, he can follow the emperor's edict to attack the disobedient Liu Biao. It's justified!"
"Hahaha!" Cao Cao laughed again: "Liu Biao's body has already been hollowed out by wine and lust. If he finds out that he was punished for rebellion, he will be so angry that his seven orifices will smoke and he will never be able to get sick!"
"That's right!" Liu Xian nodded: "This is my urging strategy!"
Cao Cao laughed and said, "What a tactic to urge death, it's ruthless, poisonous, and absolute!"
Liu Xian continued: "As long as Liu Biao falls ill, he will be taken over by Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, and these two will never conspire with Liu Bei. This is an excellent opportunity for the Prime Minister to send troops!"
"Hahaha!" Cao Cao laughed loudly, "It's very good, it's exactly what I want!"
Chapter 121 Kong Ming Divorced His Wife, Zhuge Liang’s Mao Zhong
Cao Cao quickly adopted Liu Xian's strategy of urging his life.
Cheng Yu and Jia Xu were sent to the school office to deal with Liu Biao's treason case full-time.
Of these two, one is fierce and the other is vicious.
To put it simply, Zhao Da from the school affairs office was in charge of going to Jingzhou to collect evidence against Liu Biao.
And these two are responsible for adding oil and vinegar, adding icing on the cake.
After the fall, officials of all sizes from the school affairs office entered Jingzhou with different identities for open and unannounced visits.
……
Xinye City, Liu Bei's Mansion.
In the battle of Bowangpo, although Liu Bei lost troops and generals, he blocked Cao Jun's advance. For Jingzhou, it was a big victory.
Liu Bei's status in Jingzhou has been rising steadily, attracting countless Jingzhou bureaucrats to visit.
In particular, the eldest son of Liu Biao was the most attentive, and he often drank with Liu Bei and even had long talks with Liu Bei.
Under the lobbying of his son Liu Qi, Liu Biao successively sent food, supplies, armor and weapons to Xinye City.
In just a few months, the number of soldiers and horses in Xinye City increased to more than [-], which can be described as an unprecedented event.
The autumn wind is bleak and the autumn rain is continuous.
On this day, Liu Bei braved the rain and brought Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to Wollongong again.
My husband came back, but did not return to Wollongong. He just stayed in the city for a few days, and then disappeared.
The little book boy sent Liu Bei away again with a simple sentence.
Back in Xinye City, I saw Liu Qi coming to the door with good wine.
"Uncle Huang, this altar is a good wine that my father has treasured for many years, today you and I are lucky!"
"Yeah!" Liu Bei just nodded lightly, with no joy on his face.
Liu Qi was puzzled: "Uncle Huang has something on his mind?"
Liu Bei sighed: "I went to Wollongong twice to look for Zhuge Kongming, but I didn't see him twice!"
"Zhuge Liang?" Liu Qi smiled: "If the emperor wants to find this person, why don't you ask me?"
