Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 531
The 15th year of Xiping, October
In Longxi, Liangzhou, Huanglong came out of the well.

Huacizimo, Yangjialing
The entire mountain is pitch black, without any emerald green, and it looks extremely terrifying. At the foot of the mountain, there is a stone tablet with the inscription "Warriors of the Valiant Battalion, rest here forever."

Gongsun Zan knelt in front of the stele, his eyes glazed over, looking at the mountains in the distance, wondering what he was thinking. Although he was rescued, the injuries on his body could not be recovered. His whole body was burnt, and the half of the tablet was burned. His face made him look hideous and terrifying, and he just knelt quietly in front of the stele, silent.

Behind him stood two soldiers and a general, the general was Hua Xiong.

After Dong Zhuo came back, he specially came to visit Gongsun Zan, and told about Cao Cao burning the enemy and avenging him. Gongsun Zan was not as excited as Dong Zhuo expected, nor was he crazy about revenge, he just stared blankly. , Without any words, he was stunned for a long time, he said that he just wanted to see his brothers again.

Dong Zhuo agreed, and sent Hua Xiong and two soldiers, along with Gongsun Zan, to come here to pay homage to the warriors of the Valiant Camp.

Hua Xiong stood not far away, talked to himself for a while, and then looked at Gongsun Zan. For some reason, this guy has been kneeling here for nearly a day. He had arrived here early in the morning, and the sun was about to set. Oh, this guy is still kneeling here. Fortunately, I have a long memory, and I brought enough food this time, so I won’t starve, but
Hua Xiong looked at Gongsun Zan again, he had been sitting here on his knees without eating or drinking for a whole day.

He slowly walked to Gongsun Zan's side, looking at the motionless Gongsun Zan, he felt a little scared in his heart. Could this fellow be dead?

"Captain Gongsun?"

When Hua Xiong opened his mouth, Gongsun Zan trembled and woke up suddenly. He raised his head and glanced at Hua Xiong. Hua Xiong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You didn't move at all. I thought you were dead. You scared me. "

Gongsun Zan said nothing, stretched out his trembling hands, and searched from the package on the side. Finally, he found a fish. The fish smelled a bit fishy. Standing in the distance, Hua Xiong could smell the smell of the fish. He stretched out his hand, quickly covered his mouth and nose, took out the air-dried meat from the side, handed it to Gongsun Zan, and said, "Eat mine, your fish stinks!"

Gongsun Zan still ignored him, took out the fish, put it near his mouth, and began to bite. Hua Xiong was so frightened that Hua Xiong took a few steps back. Gongsun Zan bit the big fish with big mouthfuls, "Brothers, Everyone come to eat this fish, although it is not as good as Dongyi's, but it is also delicious! In the future, if I want to eat fish, who will cook it for me?"

"Brothers, let's have a good meal today!!!"

Gongsun Zan yelled hoarsely, gnawing on the fish.

Hua Xiong stood aside, looked at it for a long time, and said cautiously: "Captain, they are all dead, so they can't eat anymore."

Gongsun Zan was taken aback for a moment, then asked blankly, "They're all dead?"

"All dead."

Gongsun Zan closed his eyes and his hands trembled violently. Suddenly, big tears rolled down from his eyes, and the big fish in his hand fell to the ground. He tore his hair with both hands, and burst into tears. Heartbroken, he burst into tears, crying loudly, tears kept falling, and he fell to his knees on the ground.

"Captain, when will we be able to go home! I saved a lot of money, just enough to buy a fish pond!"

"Captain, although we are timid, if you need us, we can die."

"Captain, save me! It hurts so much!!!"

Familiar figures appeared in front of Gongsun Zan one by one.

Gongsun Zan fell to the ground, crying bitterly. He stretched out his hand towards the mountain, trying to grab something, but he couldn't!
"Come back!!! I'll take you home!!!!!!"

Gongsun Zan cried and fell to the ground, twitching all over his body, motionless, Hua Xiong rushed up, picked him up, stretched out his hand, and probed for his breath, fortunately, his breath was still there, Hua Xiong hurriedly shouted : "Hurry up, take the captain back to the mansion!"

The soldiers hurriedly got on their horses, led Gongsun Zan, and Hua Xiong rushed to the front, and they galloped away.

Quickly rushing back to the tent, Hua Xiong roared: "Doctor! Doctor!!" The doctor who was treating injuries in the distant camp heard his roar, rushed out quickly, and brought Gongsun Zan into the tent, panicked After checking it carefully, Hua Xiong stood at the door, frowning, stood there for a long time, then left.

When Dong Zhuo heard the news that Gongsun Zan had fallen ill again, he almost jumped up in a hurry, and shouted, "Where is Hua Manzi? What is he doing?! Call me right away!!"

The soldiers hurried out of the camp, searched everywhere, but couldn't find Hua Xiong. Finally, in the kitchen, they found Hua Xiong. Hua Xiong was kneeling on the ground, holding a leg of lamb, eating with gusto Seeing him like this, the soldiers were speechless, and quickly said: "Lieutenant Hua! Dong Gong is looking for you."

Hua Xiong let out a long sigh, threw the leg of lamb in his hand to the soldier, and left here helplessly.

Walking into Dong Zhuo's tent, Hua Xiong hurriedly asked, "Mr. Dong, are you looking for me?"

Dong Zhuo, who was getting angry, looked at Hua Xiong's oily face, was stunned for a moment, and asked, "What did you do just now?"

"I went to eat, I'm hungry." Hua Xiong patted his stomach and replied with a smile.

Dong Zhuo looked at him, remained silent for a long time, and asked, "Did Bo Gui faint from crying?" Hua Xiong quickly said, "Mr. Dong, you can't blame me. I told him beforehand that this happened. The stinky fish can’t be eaten, he insisted on eating it, and after eating it, he cried and yelled, which frightened me. I didn’t know it before, but it turned out that eating stinky fish would not only cause bad stomach.”

"Hehe." Dong Zhuo laughed softly, looked at Hua Xiong, and let him sit in front of him.

"Sometimes, I envy you." Dong Zhuo said.

Hua Xiong grinned and said, "Many people say that. They say I'm heartless!"

"Heh, you're quite proud."

Dong Zhuo shook his head and continued: "Tomorrow, I will withdraw my troops and go back. The emperor has sent an edict to the school lieutenant Xu Chu to lead a thousand soldiers to guard this place, and to take Huacizimo and Sogdian as Xiting County. Taking the Western Regions as Xizhou, Jia Guihui will stay here and serve as the governor of Xizhou. Cao Cao will be the first prefect of Xiting County. It seems that the emperor wants to use Cao Cao again."

Hua Xiong listened carefully, but did not speak.

"You just follow me back. This time, I will definitely be able to enter the post of Taiwei. You will be a long history for me."

Hua Xiong's eyes widened, and he asked hastily: "This long history is several thousand stones, can it beat Luoyang Beiwei?"

"Bastard, even if you are a Taiwei, you can't beat Luoyang North Captain!!"

"Oh"

"Oh, barbarian, misfortune comes from your mouth, misfortune comes from your mouth. Although you have not followed me the longest, but among the many generals, I am the closest to you. You are better than those hypocrites who can't tell the truth from the false. There are too many, but you are outspoken, and this character must be changed, otherwise, you will suffer a lot in the future."

"Don't show off your tongue. If you don't need to speak, then don't speak."

Dong Zhuo persuaded somewhat solemnly.

Hua Xiong nodded in a daze, wondering if he understood.

"Also, you are not young anymore. I heard that Yuan Shu has already married and established a family. When you go back this time, you should also establish a family." Dong Zhuo said, Hua Xiong touched his head and said: "Mr. Ah, I don’t want to ask for trouble when I’m idle.”

"No, you are the only child, you can't cut off the incense in your family and listen to me, get a wife and have children earlier"

"Forget it...Dong Gong said so." Hua Xiong said with a smile.

Dong Zhuo looked at him, and said kindly: "I have a granddaughter who is virtuous and generous, and is a good match for you. After withdrawing, I will marry you as my granddaughter."

Hua Xiong was shocked when he heard this, raised his head, looked Dong Zhuo up and down, looked at Dong Zhuo for a long time, shook his head, and said with some horror: "Dong Gong, I'm used to being carefree."

"Come here!!!"

This person, the army retreated, Cao Cao, Xu Chu and others stayed here, they bid farewell to everyone, Sun Jian explained a lot to Xu Chu, and said goodbye to Cao Cao reluctantly, Dong Zhuo was full of excitement and couldn't wait, Taiwei's dream , is about to be realized, which makes him not want to stay here for a moment, he wants to go to Luoyang early, and take the rest of the generals, rushing towards Luoyang in a hurry.

As for Hua Xiong, he was still enjoying the treatment of the prison car. This time, everyone didn't know why he was sitting in the prison car.

When they walked out of Guishuang and set foot on the Western Regions, the soldiers who had been far away from home for many years sang excitedly, and the people in the countryside came forward to wait and see. After driving all the way, when they arrived in Liangzhou, Sun Jian led the soldiers of the Southern Army If you stay here, he will still be stationed in the northwest. Of course, his rewards will never be lacking. Dong Zhuo patted him on the shoulder and told him that he will definitely get the rewards he deserves!
On the road, the common people lined up to greet each other, and the officials entertained them, but Dong Zhuo did not stay long, and he only wanted to return to Luoyang as soon as possible.

In the 16st year of Xiping, January.

Dong Zhuo led his army back to Luoyang.

The news of Dong Zhuo's victory has already been raging in Luoyang. For this victorious army, Situ personally went to meet him outside Luoyang. There were huge crowds of people, whether they were ordinary people or scholars and knight-errants, they were all cheering and shouting "Long live the big man!"

Dong Zhuo had already mounted the steed and walked in the forefront of the whole army. He raised his head high and smiled all over his face to meet the eyes of everyone.

Hua Xiong was also released from the prison car, walking at the back with a sad face.

"Congratulations to Taiwei Dong, he returned with a big victory!" Lu Zhi said with a smile.

Dong Zhuo smiled all over his face, but shook his head and said, "Mr. Situ made a mistake, when will I be a Taiwei?"

"Hahaha, the emperor discussed in the court council earlier that he wants to worship Dong Gong as a captain! I haven't congratulated Dong Gong yet!"

"Hahahaha! Thank you!" Dong Zhuo laughed.

The army returned to the school grounds, but Dong Zhuo was going to the palace to meet the emperor. He dug out his most exquisite clothes and put them on. Wearing armor is not allowed in the palace, and the emperor ordered him to bring a meritorious captain to go with him. Unexpectedly, he chose Hua Xiong. However, Hua Xiong, as a vanguard all the way, defeated Guishuang's army many times, and once single-handedly wiped out the main force of Guishuang's rebel army.

In fact, Guan Yu is obviously a more suitable candidate. However, even if Dong Zhuo chose Hua Xiong, Guan Yu was not angry or dissatisfied with it. Come kill me!
Dong Zhuo wore the clothes he was most satisfied with, and stood in front of the bronze mirror for a long time. He tidied up properly and went to the palace, while Hua Xiong followed him. His clothes looked a bit simple. The two came all the way to the gate of the palace. Seeing that it was Dong Zhuo, they hurriedly bowed to see each other. This made Dong Zhuo very satisfied, so he waved his hand and asked them to stand up.

Soon, the gate of the imperial palace opened wide, and the two of them were greeted by the yellow gate. Instead of going directly to Houde Hall, they went to Qiongyuan. Han Gate brought them here, pointed to the seats on the ground, and said with a smile : "Mr. Taiwei waited for a while, the crown uniform of Taiwei is still being prepared, and the ones prepared earlier did not meet the requirements of Mr. Taiwei."

Hua Xiong said loudly: "That's natural! Among all the captains in my history, I, Mr. Dong, are the fattest!"

Dong Zhuo wanted to scold him, but he was in a good mood, so he ignored him and let Hanmen continue to prepare. Soon, the emperor will come to worship him as a captain. Dong Zhuo knelt on the ground, feeling very sad Excited, what an honor this is, the emperor is about to worship himself, he grinned and couldn't help laughing, Hua Xiong looked at him suspiciously, and moved away a little.

"Dong Gong, when will I go to your house... Is your granddaughter much younger than me?"

Hua Xiong asked, but Dong Zhuo didn't reply.

"Oh, I don't dislike it, it's just that I'm a little afraid of getting married."

"They all say that I am heartless. In fact, I am not like that. I will be sad too. However, I think it is useless to be sad. When I am sad, my brothers who fought with me can live Come here? Will my family survive?"

"I can't. Therefore, I'm never sad. Anyway, one day, I will leave too. I will go to see them. Wouldn't it be nice if we can talk again then?"

"Dong Gong? Say something!"

Hua Xiong said helplessly, the Son of Heaven playing music sounded in the distance, the Han family followed behind the Son of Heaven holding the Taiwei's crown, a mighty group of people came slowly towards here, Hua Xiong quickly stretched out his hand, touched He touched Dong Zhuo and said, "Look, Mr. Dong, the emperor is even fatter than you!"

His hand just touched Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo fell to the left.

He fell to the ground, motionless.

Hua Xiong looked at him blankly.

Slowly got up, walked to his side, stretched out his hand, and breathed.

As for the guard of honor of the emperor, he seemed to have noticed the situation here. The emperor was shocked, and the surrounding yellow gates were also a little flustered. After seeing him, Hua Xiong looked blankly at the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven looked at him with red eyes, but he never shed a single tear.

Hua Xiong's face twitched slightly, he took a step back, and bowed to the emperor:

"The last general, Hua Xiong! He came here to take the Taiwei's uniform for Duke Dong!!"
