Chapter 21 Xiahou Xingbing
Xiahou Dun stared at the headless corpse in front of him in a daze. In the remaining eye, there seemed to be endless anger. Bloodshots continued to emerge in the whites of his eyes. No one spoke in the huge hall, but this quietness made people feel depressed and frightened.
Even though Xiahou Dun didn't say anything, everyone could realize that Xiahou Dun was in a bad mood at the moment, and it could even be said to be bad.
Although he had no head, Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren were the same clan and assisted Cao Cao together. Over the years, they had conflicts with each other, but more memories of sharing joys and sorrows. At this moment, after seeing Cao Ren's miserable end, all that was left in his heart was full of anger.
"Who is it?" Xiahou Dun didn't expect that he had just come to Wancheng and was not the good news that Cao Ren had broken through Xinye, but Cao Ren's body. The hoarse voice came out after a long silence, like a wounded beast. This opening suffocated everyone's chest, which was already very depressed, and even breathing became difficult.
The gaze shot out from his one-eyed eyes swept across the generals like a knife, and no one dared to look at him. At this moment, Xiahou Dun was like a beast that could hold up a wounded person at any time.
His eyes finally stopped on the Cao army generals who fled back, and the air in the hall seemed to have dropped a lot at this moment.
"Return...Return to General!" A deputy general bowed with courage and said, "General Cao Ren was originally planning to eliminate the bandits around him, but he encountered a group of people on the road. General Cao Ren seemed to know one of them, and the man's name was Wei Yue..."
"Wei Yue?" Xiahou Dun narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly: "The remnants of Lu Bu's command back then?"
"I don't know that the other party is just a few people. General Cao wanted to capture him, so he led us to chase him all the way. When he was in the Funiu Mountain area..." The general said the incident that had happened before. He first encountered a strange donkey cart on the way to hunt Wei Yue, and then the donkey cart was extremely strong. Cao Ren went to kick him himself, but his leg was stuck by the other party, causing the thieves to come to reinforcements, killing them almost wiped out. Cao Ren was also captured by the other party.
Xiahou Dun did not expect that Cao Ren had been fighting on the battlefield for half his life, but eventually died in such a humiliating way, at the hands of the remnants of Lu Bu's troops, which made his anger that had not yet calmed up again.
Without saying anything, Xiahou Dun stood up slowly with one hand and walked slowly to the general. In the huge hall, every step seemed to be stepping on everyone's hearts, and the strong murderous intent was not concealed at all, and it permeated the entire hall.
"Zi Xiao is dead, why are you alive?" Xiahou Dun came to the general and said sternly.
"The General... The General was no longer qualified at that time, and as everyone broke through..." It was obviously cold weather, the general's forehead was constantly oozing sweat as big as beans. He did not dare to raise his head, even though Xiahou Dun's heavy breath had clearly sprayed on his face, he still did not dare to make any unnecessary movements.
"This... is the reason for you to escape in the battle?" Xiahou Dun's eyes were full of fierceness, and his right hand holding the sword slowly pulled out the sword from his waist.
"General Xiahou!" The general was shocked and knelt in front of Xiahou Dun with a thunderous voice, saying, "It's not that General Mo doesn't want it, but the situation at that time, our army was surrounded by those thieves, and General Mo is also..."
"Puff~"
A cold light flashed across the throat of the general, blood splattered on his body, flowing down his armor. Xiahou Dun put the sword back into the sheath with expressionless expression. The cold voice mixed with a strong murderous intent said: "Tell me that all generals at the general level and above in this battle will be killed without mercy! I will give this to the Lord."
No one in the hall spoke, including the new Nanyang Prefect and other civil officials, nor did anyone dare to say something inappropriate in front of Xiahou Dun, who was angry at this moment.
Someone went to send an order, and at the same time, a personal guard came in and dragged away the gradually cooled body of the general.
After killing the escaped general with his own hands, Xiahou Dun's murderous aura calmed down a lot. He sat back on the main seat and said coldly: "I don't expect there is a remnant of Lu Bu here. Humph! Even if Lu Bu dares to kill the soldiers of our army, he will definitely kill the head of his neck! I will pass on my general order and immediately send someone to find out where this bandit is and gather people. I will slaughter the remnant of Lu Bu with my own hands!"
"Here!"
A personal guard quickly took the order and went to pass the order.
The prefect of Nanyang frowned slightly when he heard this and said, "General Yuan Rang, this time we were ordered by the lord to get rid of Liu Bei, capture Xinye, and open the door to go south. The general may be deposed by his private affairs..."
"I have followed my lord to fight south and north, and I don't know how many fierce battles I have experienced. If Lu Bu is alive, I will respect him three points. Now I am only a remnant, a mere bandit, but I dare to kill Zixiao without revenge. If this revenge cannot be avenged, where is our army's majesty?" Xiahou Dun snorted coldly and looked at the Nanyang prefect and said, "This is military. The prefect should not interfere. After I avenge my son, it will not be too late to destroy Xinye."
He had already heard about it when he came. The new wild soldiers were only two thousand, and the city was not strong, and the city was only two feet high. Although Guan Yu, under Liu Bei, was brave, he could not change the situation. As for Wei Yue, although he was also a powerful general, Xiahou Dun had not taken it seriously yet.
"Have you ever heard that you didn't start anger?" Nanyang Prefect frowned.
"A mere brawl, the prefect thinks someone will be defeated?" Xiahou Dun's eyebrows were lifted.
The prefect of Nanyang sighed and knew that he could not stop Xiahou Dun. Although Cao Cao's northern expedition to Wuhuan has not yet succeeded, his victory has been achieved. Now the entire Cao army is full of arrogance and does not take anyone seriously. This is not a good thing.
"The subordinate officials will report this matter to the lord truthfully." Although they could not dissuade them, they still wanted to give it a try, hoping that Cao Cao's name would make Xiahou Dun, who was in a rage at the moment, sober.
"If the prefect is willing, go and report the memorial." Xiahou Dun snorted coldly, "Zi Xiao is the same clan as the lord. If he knew that Zi Xiao died in battle, how could the lord be indifferent?"
The Nanyang Prefect no longer said anything, but bowed and said, "Since that's the case, the officials still have some government affairs to do, so I'll leave first!"
Xiahou Dun waved his hand impatiently, and almost said he would get out. He is really annoyed by these people now. He knows how to talk, but are they the generals who are in the end?
