Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 700 Xun Yu Angrily Rebukes Sima Yi

"General, Wei Yan from Xiliang personally led [-] cavalry, crossed Fufeng County, and went straight to Xianyang. The guard of Xianyang, General Xia Houba, resisted desperately. This is how to defend Xianyang. I hope the general will support you quickly, otherwise Xianyang will not be able to defend. Living!"

At the foot of Chang'an City, a disgraced soldier asked Xia Houyuan on the city gate for help.

"Wei Yan attacked Xianyang? It shouldn't be, could it be that Liu Wei gave him an order? Should I save him or not!"

On Chang'an City, Xia Houyuan looked at the soldiers below the city asking for help, without saying a word, thinking whether he should rescue Xia Houyuan or not.

"General, General Xiahouba gave me his jade pendant before I came, just because I was afraid that you wouldn't believe me. If you don't believe me, I can send someone down to bring the jade pendant to you for a look!"

The Xianyang soldier who asked for help took out a jade pendant from his arms tremblingly, and shook it at Xia Houyuan on the city gate.

"Zhong Yao, do you think I should save or not?"

Xia Houyuan asked Zhong Yao beside him.

"General, how can you ask me this? You are the guard of Chang'an, and the entire Yongzhou must obey your orders. It's up to you to save or not!"

Zhong Yao is a fine old man, if the guard of Xianyang is someone else, he can express his opinion without any harm, but the guard of Xianyang is not someone else, but the thousand-mile horse of Xiahou's family, and he is Xiahouyuan's second son and his mother is even more so. The younger sister of Cao Cao's wife, Ding, is also Cao Cao's sister-in-law. If he says he won't save Xiahouba, if Xiahouba dies in Xianyang, Xiahouyuan will settle accounts with him after autumn. Don't peel off his skin.

But Xia Houyuan didn't think so, and yelled at Zhong Yao: "Are you dying? You don't have to worry that Ba'er is my son, just treat him as an ordinary general. Do you think I should send troops there?" Save Xianyang, tell me honestly, I won’t blame you, even if Ba’er dies in Xianyang, it doesn’t matter, he has sacrificed his life for the country!”

Zhong Yao was so anxious that his back was sweating, and he was scolding his mother in his heart. After working together for so many years, he still didn't know the temper of Xia Houyuan and Xiahou Dun. Even if Cao Cao didn't let Xia Houyuan make things difficult for him, Xia Houyuan would still make things difficult for him in private.

Zhong Yao thought about it for a long time, and then said: "I don't recommend the general to act rashly. After all, His Royal Highness Wei Wang is now fighting Liu Ziyan in Guandu. If there is a mistake in Chang'an, His Royal Highness Wei Wang is unstable in the rear, and he is very likely to be defeated!"

How can Xiahouyuan not know this truth, but Xiahouba is his most proud son, how can he just sit in Xianyang like this.The fact that Zhang Liao's son Zhang Hu was beheaded by Huang Xu outside the city of Beidi County is well known to everyone under Cao Cao's command. In their view, the Hebei army is all bloodthirsty, especially Liu Wei's iron-blooded wrist, who refuses to accept and kills In addition to Liu Wei's title of Hebei King, the common people also gave Liu Wei the nickname of Iron and Blood King. If he is against the Hebei army, if he is a little careless, he will become a dead soul under the sword.

"Naha..."

Xia Houyuan was not reconciled to his son's death in Xianyang, watching Zhong Yao hesitate to speak.

Zhong Yao understood what he meant, and said: "Xianyang is not an important place. If you can't hold it, let the little general withdraw and join forces with you, general, to guard Chang'an together."

"Okay, according to your words, let Ba'er withdraw!"

Xia Houyuan seemed to be afraid of Zhong Yao's repentance, and hurriedly ordered Xia Houba to withdraw from Xianyang to Chang'an.And if something happens, the responsibility can be shifted to Jing Zhaoyi and Zhong Yao.

"Ugh!"

Zhong Yao rolled his eyes at Xia Houyuan, thinking that he had succumbed to this bastard's lustful power, and it seemed that he had to report this matter to King Wei, otherwise I would be the one to take the blame if something happened.

Xiahouyuan ordered Xiahouba to withdraw his troops, while Zhong Yao wrote to Cao Cao and reported the situation here to Cao Cao.After taking Xianyang, Wei Yan did not cross the river in a hurry to attack Chang'an. Instead, he stationed in Xianyang city, and sent troops to take Xinping and Wugong counties successively. .

……

"His Royal Highness King Wei, this is a letter from Lord Jingzhao Yizhong!"

Cao Cao was discussing the situation with Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, Sima Yi and others in the camp at this time. Seeing the guards barging in, he was quite displeased, but he still accepted the letter, but after Cao Cao received the letter, he did not Instead of letting the guards go out, he asked, "Did you hear anything just now?"

The guard didn't understand what he meant, and he didn't dare to hide it, so he opened his mouth and replied: "My lord, I just heard that my lord is discussing with several adults about how to deal with Liu Wei!"

"Oh!"

Cao Cao nodded, and quietly touched the Yitian Sword at his waist.

"Then I'm sorry!"

Cao Cao yelled and pierced the guard's abdomen with his sword.

"My lord, you...!"

The guard held the Yitian Sword with both hands, and looked at Cao Cao suspiciously, not understanding why Cao Cao wanted to kill him.

"Although you are my guard, if you hear something you shouldn't, you have to die! You can go with peace of mind!"

After saying that, Cao Cao pulled out the long sword from the guard's belly, wiped off the blood on the sword with a white cloth, and then shouted to the outside: "Come here, someone wants to assassinate, but I have already killed him, drag him out!"

The guards at the gate didn't know why, they didn't understand why the brothers who were talking and laughing on weekdays suddenly became assassins, but no one dared to ask, they dragged the dead bodies on the ground and dragged them out of Cao Cao's barracks.

After the body was dragged away by the guards, Xun Yu couldn't bear it any longer, and jumped out and asked, "My lord, are you imitating that butcher Liu Wei?"

"Wen Ruo, don't make a fuss. He heard our conversation. To be on the safe side, it's better to kill him!"

"My lord, that's your bodyguard, and he hasn't heard any secrets, so you don't have to kill him at all!"

Xun Yu argued with reason.

"Lord Xun, my lord has his reasons for doing this. A big battle is imminent, and a little carelessness will lead to a big mistake. It's better to be more cautious! It's Lord Xun who made a fuss out of a molehill!"

Sima Yi looked at Xun Yu and said.

"you--!"

Xun Yu couldn't help being angry, pointing at Sima Yi and cursing: "There is no place for you, a younger generation, to speak here, even your old man Sima Jiang (Sima Fang) dare not criticize me like that!"

Sima Yi looked up at Cao Cao, and seeing that Cao Cao was no longer speaking, he lowered his head and remained silent.

But Xi Zhicai hurried out to smooth things over, and said: "What are you two arguing about? He is almost dead, so don't mention him. Let's think about how to deal with Liu Wei. My senior brother, Xu Shu, and Pang Tong are not vegetarians. of!"

"Hmph! How can I disdain to argue with him, I just don't want my lord to be as bloodthirsty as that bullshit iron-blooded prince in the barracks opposite!"

Xun Yu snorted coldly and stopped looking at Sima Yi.
