Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

As Guan Yu left the camp, the other princes looked at the brave and unparalleled Hua Xiong with curiosity.

Yuan Shu, who was on the observation deck, looked at the two generals who were confronting each other and did not forget to add fuel to the fire, and spoke with a bit of sarcasm.

"Do you think Liu Xuande's sworn brother can last ten rounds?"

Immediately, some princes who were inclined to the Yuan family spoke out in response.

"Difficult! Even Pan Feng was beheaded in one blow. Although Hua Xiong was not well-known in Xiliang in the past, his bravery is probably not inferior to Lu Bu."

"If we can survive five rounds, we can save some face for the allied forces."

"I am afraid that this man will be beheaded by Hua Xiong within three moves, which will have an unimaginable impact on the morale of our army..."

Seeing the small princes who were attached to the Yuan family speaking in praise of Yuan Shu, Zhang Fei became angry. When he was about to speak, it was Cao Cao, who was standing next to Liu Bei, who spoke while holding the wine cup in one hand.

"You don't need to inflate the enemy's prestige. Cao and Guan Yu have met several times. He is very majestic and brave. It is not impossible that he can fight Hua Xiong to a draw."

However, Cao Cao's position among the allied forces at this moment is actually worse than before.

In the original trajectory, Cao Cao could at least be considered a person who called on all the heroes to form an alliance, and the princes had to give him some face to a certain extent.

However, although Cao Cao today could barely be considered a great vassal, his voice was quite weak and he was merely regarded as a vassal dependent on Yuan Shao.

Therefore, Yuan Shu smiled without giving Cao Cao any face, and then asked Liu Bei with pretended curiosity.

"How many rounds does Liu Xuande think Guan Yu can hold out?"

Liu Bei, who had remained calm all the time, raised three fingers.

"Three combinations?" Yuan Shu couldn't help but grin.

"No..."

Liu Bei said in a deep voice, "Within three rounds, I will chop off Hua Xiong's head!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Suddenly, all the princes headed by Yuan Shu could not help laughing, as if they had heard a huge joke, until Yuan Shao could not help but turn his head and glare at the princes behind him, and the laughter gradually stopped.

"Instead of laughing here, you should think about whether there are any brave warriors under your command who can defeat Hua Xiong and restore the morale of the army."

Yuan Shao said this with some annoyance.

Yuan Shao was conflicted at the moment. He hoped that Guan Yu would die at the hands of Hua Xiong, and then he could put as much blame as possible on Liu Bei for the previous defeat.

But looking at the overall situation, Yuan Shao was more aware that the allied forces were blocked by Hua Xiong and Sishui Pass. The blow to the prestige of the allied forces and Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, was unimaginable.

Therefore, Yuan Shao couldn't help but hope that Guan Yu could play some role.

The best outcome would be that Guan Yu and Hua Xiong fought for more than a hundred rounds without a clear winner. This would not only boost the morale of the allied forces, but also allow Yuan Shao to control Liu Bei through the military order issued by Guan Yu.

This was the most perfect development that Yuan Shao had envisioned.

The undisguised laughter from the observation tower also spread outside the camp.

Hearing the shrill laughter and Guan Yu's arrogant behavior just now, Hua Xiong, who was originally feeling proud of having killed Pan Feng, suddenly felt angry as if he was being despised and provoked by a villain.

Even though Guan Yu had a strange appearance and looked very powerful, it was precisely because of this that Hua Xiong had never heard of a powerful general in the world dressed like this.

"You bold lunatic! Now that you know my name, Hua Xiong, how dare you leave the camp and commit suicide?" Hua Xiong asked angrily.

"You don't need to tell me your name. I won't remember your name as an accomplice to the evil. From now on, people will only know that you are the one killed by me."

After saying this, Guan Yu, who had not really used his sword for almost three years, now felt that the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand was thirsty and he just wanted to drink the blood of the enemy.

Immediately, without waiting for Hua Xiong to speak, Guan Yu squeezed the horse's belly, dragged the Green Dragon Crescent Blade to the ground, and rushed towards Hua Xiong on the Youzhou horse, which was considered rare in the world at that time.

"You ignorant fellow, I will kill you today, and teach you, the rats from Guandong, not to look directly at my warriors from Xiliang."

Hua Xiong, who had won two games in a row and even defeated Pan Feng, was full of confidence. How could he feel guilty?
After a loud shout, Hua Xiong raised his sword and rushed towards Guan Yu.

Although many soldiers were watching this scene closely, the defeat of Yu She and Pan Feng had already happened.

Except for the sword-and-axe army led by Guan Yu, the rest of the soldiers had almost no hope in Guan Yu. They even felt that the appearance of an unknown man like Guan Yu was just a waste of his life and would add another innocent soul in front of the camp.

As the two war horses, both rare and fine, collided with each other, the distance between them was closing at lightning speed.

Hua Xiong clenched the long-handled broadsword with both hands and slashed out again with the same blade that had just taken off Pan Feng's head.

At the moment of slashing, Hua Xiong was extremely confident, and even felt that this sword might be able to hurt the nightmare that he dared not look directly at - Lu Bu.

However, Hua Xiong suddenly discovered that at the same time as he chopped down the sword, Guan Yu's sword appeared in front of him even faster.

'What a fast knife...'

Hua Xiong only had time to think of this before he was filled with disbelief... 'It's impossible. My sword is so fast that it can chop off Pan Feng's head. How come this unknown person's sword is faster than mine?!'

puff!

The two war horses crossed each other, and victory, defeat, life and death were decided in that instant.

However, what shocked countless eyes was that the head on Hua Xiong's neck disappeared, and large amounts of blood spurted out from his chest.

Even the corpse still maintained the posture of swinging the knife, and then was dragged to the ground by the weight of the long-handled sword, making a dull sound.

Guan Yu caught Hua Xiong's head that fell from mid-air.

Only at this moment did the Allied soldiers finally react and burst into thunderous cheers and applause.

In contrast, the 3,000 Xiliang cavalry led by Hua Xiong looked as pale as death, and still looked at Hua Xiong who had fallen to the ground in defeat with an expression of disbelief.

Guan Yu, holding the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in one hand and the head in the other, narrowed his eyes, glanced at the three thousand Xiliang cavalry, and spoke.

"Go back and tell the thief Dong that it was Guan Yu who killed Hua Xiong. Let the thief Dong clean his neck in Luoyang and wait for him. I will chop off his head with the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade in my hand to offer a sacrifice to the heaven and the people."

Immediately, Guan Yu ignored the three thousand Xiliang cavalry and rode his horse slowly back towards the camp.

After entering the camp, Guan Yu went straight to the lookout tower, dismounted, handed the Green Dragon Crescent Blade to his follower, then stroked his long beard with one hand, held the head with the other, and walked up slowly.

When he walked in front of all the princes, Guan Yu threw the head in front of them with a proud look on his face, and then bowed to Liu Bei alone.

"I have lived up to your trust and have retrieved Hua Xiong's head. Please examine it."

"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work."

Even though Liu Bei usually did not show his emotions to others, he could hardly hide the smile on his face at this moment.

And Cao Cao, who was standing next to Liu Bei, looked at Guan Yu with an expression of amazement that turned into an indescribable passion.

What a contemptuous arrogance, and what a loyal respect...

What should have been an extremely contradictory character was perfectly manifested in Guan Yu alone.

Cao Cao, who was next to Liu Bei just now, subconsciously put himself in Liu Bei's perspective and felt an incomparable sense of pleasure surging into his brain.

"If Cao is Liu Da'er, Li Zikun is on the right, and Guan Yu is on the left..."

Thinking of this, Cao Cao could hardly suppress the envy and jealousy he felt towards Liu Bei.

"Why is it that all the good things in the world are given to this Liu Da'er?"

It was not until Cao Cao, who was so engrossed in his thoughts that his hand holding the wine cup inadvertently tilted and some warm wine spilled onto the back of his hand, that he suddenly came to his senses.

Immediately, Cao Cao suppressed all distracting thoughts in his mind, and while the rest of the princes were still almost silent, he took the initiative to walk towards Guan Yu, handed him the wine cup, and said.

"This wine is still warm, Yunchang, you can drink it."

Guan Yu took it without hesitation and drank it all, totally unaware of how hot Cao Cao's eyes were when Guan Yu raised his head to drink, as if he wanted to take Guan Yu into his tent immediately.

However, Cao Cao only hated that his status was too low. Not to mention forcibly transferring Guan Yu to his side, his status among the allied forces was even much lower than that of Liu Bei.

It's just like when you were young and met someone you loved, but you had no power to pursue him or her.

pain!
After watching Guan Yu drink the cup of warm wine, Cao Cao walked towards Liu Bei without looking back, and then continued to stand behind Liu Bei respectfully.

It hurts so much! !

"If you have power, how can you let this happen?"

'Not to mention Li Zikun and Guan Yu, even Liu Xuande has to obey Yu Cao's orders!!!'

Cao Cao's emotions were surging wildly, and he unconsciously developed a crazy ambition.

However, Cao Cao was now inconspicuous among the allied forces. Only Li Ji occasionally glanced at Cao Cao and inadvertently discovered that there seemed to be some change in Cao Cao's eyes.

Guan Yu's invisible act, which was equivalent to a blatant slap in the face, made many of the princes present look embarrassed, livid, or in admiration.

Liu Bei's magnanimity was naturally not comparable to Yuan Shu's, and he would not retort at this moment. Instead, he reacted after being reminded by Li Ji and spoke.

"Hua Xiong, the commander of Sishui Pass, is dead, and the three thousand Xiliang cavalrymen outside the village just brought Hua Xiong's body back to the pass. This will surely cause a commotion inside Sishui Pass, causing the morale inside the pass to plummet. This is a good time to seize the opportunity to pursue the victory and break through the pass in one fell swoop."

Seeing that the situation was looking good, Yuan Shao instinctively hesitated and said.

"Our army has not yet set up camp and has not yet established a firm foothold. How can we attack the city? Why not wait until tomorrow?"

PS: In reality, Sishui Pass and Hulao Pass are the same place, but the following text will refer to the direction of the novel and for the continuity of the plot.

That is why Sishui Pass and Hulao Pass were set up separately. Fathers, just treat it as a parallel world with slightly different terrain. (End of this chapter)
