"General Zuo, in the past few years, I have followed my lord through countless wars. My lord has never treated me badly. Hua Xiong has been promoted from the corps commander of a small school to the governor today. My lord has treated me badly.
I, Hua Xiong, cannot repay the kindness of knowing and supporting me, and now how can I surrender to the general? I ask the general to give Hua Xiong a death. Only through death can Xiong repay the kindness of my lord!" Hua Xiong said sadly.
Tian Feng originally wanted to say something, but Zuo Aoran waved his hand to stop him. Zuo Aoran helped Hua Xiong up from the ground and asked with a smile: "General Hua still remembers that one hundred and fifty miles outside Guangping City."
?”
"Of course I remember!" Hua Xiong nodded solemnly.
"Hahaha... It's good to remember, it's good to remember! I think back then, when I, Zuo Aoran, was defeated and defeated by the Yellow Turban Army, and I was talking about my life at risk, it was your master who led General Hua and his subordinates
The soldiers fought together, so that I, Zuo Aoran, can have the glory and glory I have today, and have the life to survive today!" Zuo Aoran said, holding Hua Xiong's arm.
"General Zuo's words are serious. I think back then, we were trying to quell the rebellious party and wipe out the bandits and restore peace to the Chinese universe. We should help each other and depend on each other. If my lord was in trouble at that time, I am afraid that the Zuo family's army would also come to his aid.
, he will definitely not be like the old thief Zhu Juan!" Hua Xiong said.
"Okay! Since General Hua has said this, naturally I, Zuo Aoran, can't say anything else. Since General Hua remembers the kindness of Dong Sikong, I also want to repay the kindness of saving his life. General Hua, please
Come back!" Zuo Aoran took a step aside, stretched out his hand in a "please" gesture, and all the generals were shocked, wondering what kind of medicine their lord was selling in this gourd.
"Thank you, General Zuo!" Hua Xiong knelt down, kowtowed, and thanked Zuo Aoran.
Zuo Aoran stepped forward to help Hua Xiong up and said: "As long as you, Hua Xiong, are here at Sishui Pass, I, Zuo Aoran, and my subordinates will never take a step forward to repay the general for saving his life." Hua Xiong.
Just as he was about to refuse, Zuo Aoran waved his hand and said: "General Hua, don't refuse just yet. Let me finish. If the Sishui Pass is broken, if you and I meet again on the battlefield, we will be enemies rather than friends!"
How could Hua Xiong not understand the meaning of Zuo Aoran's words? The first was to repay his lord and his own life-saving grace, and the second was to make friends with him. Hua Xiong immediately cupped his fists and said: "Since General Zuo said so,
Well, then I, Hua Xiong, will also say this, you and I are not enemies!" After saying that, Hua Xiong turned and left. Zuo Aoran was afraid that there would be some misunderstanding, so he hurriedly asked Tian Feng to catch up with Hua Xiong and send him out of the camp.
.
After Hua Xiong left, Wen Chou shouted: "My lord! We worked so hard to capture it, why did you just let it go? With him guarding Sishui Pass, when can we break Sishui Pass?"
, Go straight to Luoyang!"
Yan Liang suddenly said: "My lord, since we can't get Hua Xiong, we should get rid of him. Letting the tiger go back to the mountain will eventually lead to trouble! Lord!"
"It's a pity that Hua Xiong is a man! But we can't just let him go! Ninth brother, aren't you being a little hasty in doing this?" Ouyang Lie also made a comment.
Chen Deng rolled his eyes and said: "My lord, you want to take this opportunity to pay off the past karma, so that you can expand your hands and feet to attack Dong Zhuo in the future, and take this opportunity to win over Dong Zhuo's powerful general, and wait until Dong Zhuo is defeated.
, so that he can vote by himself!"
Zuo Aoran smiled and said: "Yuan Long is right, but I just want to pay off my karma with Dong Zhuo and fight against him? Haha, I won't do it. At least I won't do this before Dong Zhuo is defeated and dies in the battle.
Unwise." After a pause, he added: "Okay, remember, you will never go to war without my order in the future!"
"Promise!" The generals responded in a loud voice.
Prime Minister's Mansion in Luoyang City.
Dong Zhuo was sitting upright, with a maid rubbing his shoulders behind him and a maid beating his legs next to him. He was listening to Li Ru reporting the battle situation with great enjoyment. Hua Xiong was captured by the coalition forces of the princes, and Li Su was defeated.
After retreating to Sishui Pass, Hua Xiong was released again, and such urgent battle reports were quickly sent back.
"My father-in-law, this kid Zuo Aoran is really a shameless person. I remember that during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, my father-in-law led the Xiliang cavalry to save him from danger. I didn't expect that now he and the 19th Route Army came to attack my father-in-law.
How dare such dishonest and unjust people survive in the world?!" Li Ru barked from the side.
Dong Zhuo said disapprovingly: "Wen You, what you said is too much. Zuo Aoran captured Hua Xiong, but did not kill him, but put him back intact. This shows that Zuo Aoran
Ao Ran is not unjust, otherwise he would not act like this, and he also said that as long as Hua Xiong is around, he will not lead troops to attack Sishui Pass. This shows that Zuo Aoran wants to fight with Zuo Aoran.
As long as we do not invade each other, our real enemies are only the other nineteen princes."
"Father-in-law, I think that Zuo Aoran has a lot of troops in his hands, and his name is well known all over the country. First, Xu Shao's "A capable minister in governing the world, a handsome man in troubled times", and Lu Zhi's "White jade pillar holding up the sky, Purple gold beam bridging the sea"
", and there is also the late emperor's "Wang Gai Overlord, unified competition against Han Xin", this person must be guarded against!" Li Ru added.
"So what? Wen You, let me ask you, how many soldiers and horses does Zuo Aoran have under his command? How many generals are there?" Dong Zhuo asked with a smile.
Li Ru didn't dwell on it, and went straight to it: "There are no less than 300,000 soldiers and horses! There are no less than 1,000 generals!"
"Then how many soldiers did he bring? How many generals?" Dong Zhuo then asked.
"More than 30,000 troops and dozens of generals." Li Ru said.
Dong Zhuo laughed and said: "Hahaha... Wenyou, let me ask you again, if Zuo Aoran really kills me, Dong Zhuo, why doesn't he bring more troops? Even if he is afraid of wasting food and grass,
If you are used as a spearman by all the princes, you can't lead 50,000 elite soldiers, right?" Li Ru was speechless for a moment and had nothing to say.
"This matter will not be mentioned again. Hua Xiong was captured by mistake, and the morale of the sergeants must be low. You order Yang Feng to lead 3,000 soldiers and escort them with fine wine to reward the three armies!" Dong Zhuo said.
"Yes, father-in-law." Li Ru had no choice but to agree.
After Hua Xiong was let go by Zuo Aoran, he returned to Sishui Pass. Zhang Liao, Hu Zhen, Li Su, Tibetan Mastiff, etc. came out to welcome him. It was so lively. Hua Xiong saw the scene and was filled with emotions in his heart. Although Li Su abandoned
He left because of himself, but Hua Xiong didn't hate him.
When everyone asked how Hua Xiong was released, Hua Xiong ordered all the princes to kill him. Sun Jian even wanted to eat his own flesh. In the end, he was saved by Zuo Aoran.
Following his lord Dong Zhuo to save his life, Hua Xiong released him. Hua Xiong was not stupid, and of course he would not tell Zuo Aoran that he wanted to surrender.
After listening to Hua Xiong's story, Li Su suddenly laughed and said: "General Hua, the princes of Guandong will definitely be defeated. Tomorrow the general will continue to lead his troops out to challenge. Even if he cannot defeat the princes of Guandong, he can at least kill them."
