The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 39 Li Yuan's Wrath

Suddenly, someone came to report: "Great news! General Li captured Huaxiong alive, killed more than 3000 enemy troops, and almost broke into Hulao Pass."

"Hahahaha, Li Yuanzhen is a great general in the world, and even Hua Xiong is no match for him." Gongsun Zan admired, with a trace of respect rising in his heart.

Guan and Zhang's eyes showed a glimmer of light, they also knew that Hua Xiong was a good opponent, although they looked down on him on the lips, they still had to take it seriously in their hearts, but Li Yuan's ability to defeat Hua Xiong showed that he was indeed capable.

Liu Bei was a little depressed in his heart. Originally, he wanted his two righteous brothers to perform well, but he didn't expect Li Yuan to take the lead, and he felt a little disappointed.

"Li Yuan actually beat Hua Xiong, this guy!" Yuan Shu gritted his teeth and said, he wanted to win the first prize, but his generals lost to Hua Xiong, and in the end the first prize was cheaper than Li Yuan, feeling very annoyed.

"General Li's bravery is far superior to ours, which is really rare in the world. You must know that Hua Xiong is not only a fierce general under Dong Zhuo's command, but also a famous general in Xiliang. However, General Li was able to capture him alive. He is really brave!" Ma Teng from Xiliang knew Hua Xiong's strength better than others, so he admired Li Yuan even more in his heart.

Not long after, Li Yuan led the troops back to the camp. Yuan Shao and others even brought him into the tent in person. After entering the camp, they raised their wine glasses to congratulate and said, "Are I afraid that we won't be able to conquer Hulao Pass with General Li around? General Li , this cup is my respect to you!"

Except for Yuan Shao, the rest of the princes raised their glasses to congratulate. Some of these people congratulated sincerely, some were hypocritical, and even more envious and jealous. However, in Li Yuan's view, they were all mediocre, and no one dared to do anything when they were in trouble. Zhan Huaxiong, rushing to celebrate after winning, you must know that at this moment, you just defeated Huaxiong, but the Hulao Pass has not yet been broken, and Dong Zhuo has an even more powerful Lu Bu under his command, but everyone didn't realize it at all, and handed over the world to these people People are really deplorable.

These are what Li Yuan thinks in his heart, but on the surface he still deals with drinking with everyone.

"Everyone, this Hua Xiong is really abominable, he killed many of our generals, what do you think should be done with him?" Yuan Shao said to the crowd after drinking for three rounds.

"Hmph, the bandit Hua Xiong followed Bandit Dong to do a lot of evil, and beheaded Yu She, a general under my command. Naturally, he wanted to cut him into pieces to vent our anger." Yuan Shu was the first to jump out and said that it was Hua Xiong. The appearance of Hua Xiong caused him to lose the general without making any achievements, so he hated Hua Xiong.

Han Fu also agreed: "The prefect Yuan is right. Hua Xiong beheaded many of our generals, and my general Pan Feng also died at his hands. Not killing him is not enough to appease my anger."

Many people agreed, but Cao Cao had a different opinion. He said, "Don't be so anxious, gentlemen. Hua Xiong is a general under Dong Thief's command. Dong Thief naturally attaches great importance to him. If we use him to threaten Dong A thief might have a good effect."

Yuan Shu sneered and said, "Hmph, Cao Cao, are you out of your mind? You still use Hua Xiong to threaten Dong Thief, but how do you threaten? Do you still want to exchange Hua Xiong for Hulao Pass? If he is as stupid as you It is indeed possible to change, but it is a pity that his wisdom is far higher than yours."

"Yuan Gonggong! What do you mean by that!" Cao Cao got angry immediately. Yuan Shu was too arrogant. Afterwards, the Yuan family might have been taken care of long ago.

Gongsun Zan hurriedly stopped their quarrel and said, "Don't hurt your peace because of Hua Xiong's traitor general. How about this? Hua Xiong was captured by General Li himself, so let him decide what to do with Hua Xiong. What do you think? how?"

Yuan Shao also agreed: "That's right, how to deal with Hua Xiong should be decided by General Li himself."

Hearing this, the princes all looked at Li Yuan.In fact, Li Yuan didn't want to kill Hua Xiong at all, he wanted to subdue him, otherwise he would not have captured him alive, but Hua Xiong had followed Dong Zhuo for a long time, so he must have a certain degree of loyalty, unless Dong Zhuo was dead, it would be difficult to convince him to surrender.

Li Yuan thought about it carefully, and said: "From my point of view, Hua Xiong should be kept as Captain Cao said, maybe it will be of great use in the future."

Cao Cao was very happy to hear this. In his opinion, Li Yuan still has a bit of foresight, but in fact Li Yuan's thinking is completely different from his.

The rest of the people were a little surprised when they heard this, but as Gongsun Zan said, Hua Xiong was captured by Li Yuan himself, and it would be best to leave it to him to deal with it, but there was only one person who was dissatisfied with Li Yuan's actions, and that person was none other than Nanyang Yuan Shu. .

"Absolutely not, Hua Xiong has beheaded many of our generals, if we don't behead him to show the public how to convince the public, this will cool the hearts of our soldiers, Hua Xiong must die to dissolve our hatred! "Yuan Shu still insisted on his own opinion and insisted on beheading Hua Xiong.Although Han Fu also supported Yuan Shu, he dared not speak out to offend Li Yuan.

Li Yuan frowned slightly, feeling very unhappy in his heart, Kong Ni didn't want Li Yuan and Yuan Shu to get into a fight and quickly said: "Prefect Yuan, I'm still fighting Dong Bandit, maybe Hua Xiong will be of great use in the future, why don't you keep him first?" Let's go, not to mention, as Grand Administrator Gongsun said, Hua Xiong was captured by Wen Zhong, so it would be more appropriate to hand it over to him."

"No, I've made up my mind. Hua Xiong must be executed, otherwise I won't be able to fight this battle." Yuan Shu was spoiled since he was a child, and he was always pampered at home no matter what he wanted, so he has this kind of character until he grows up. It cannot be changed, this is a common problem of the children of aristocratic families, but Yuan Shu forgot that this is not the Yuan family, Li Yuan is so easy to bully.

Li Yuan slapped the table angrily, and a corner of the table made of solid wood was shattered. Everyone was shocked by his hand, and he sneered and said: "Hmph, it's really ridiculous, Yuan Gonglu, I have been putting up with you because I gave you the face of the Yuan family. , do you really think that everyone here is afraid of you and must let you go?"

"Li Yuan! What do you mean?!" Yuan Shu stood up and said angrily. He hated people saying that he relied on his family, but he really only relied on his family background.

"I also want to ask you what you mean. We waited for the alliance of the princes to kill Dong thief and save the emperor, but you only thought of personal interests. On the first day, you made a big fight with Yuan Benchu ​​for the position of leader. I didn't say that You, round of martial arts, round of strategy, round of talent, how can you compare with him? If you really want to hand over the army of princes to you to command, the whole army will be wiped out in one day! Then you despise him on the grounds of being powerless and powerful. Liu Xuande, although he is only a county magistrate now, he is also a clan member of the Han family. After King Jing of Zhongshan, he is infinitely nobler than you in terms of status, what right do you have to look down on him?"

Li Yuan put on an eloquent posture and said that Yuan Shu was irrefutable, and he did not use dirty words, which made Yuan Shu very angry. Not only that, he also praised Yuan Shao and Liu Bei by the way, which made them have a good impression of Li Yuan.

"Li Yuan, you...you..." Yuan Shu held his chest and gasped for breath, but he couldn't say a word for a long time.

"What am I, are you dumb? I haven't finished my sentence yet," Li Yuan continued with a cold snort, "Don't think I don't know that Sun Jian's defeat is all because of you. You know that Sun Jian is a tiger from the east of the Yangtze River. Afraid that he would take away your success, so you deliberately refused to give him food and grass, causing his army to be in chaos that night. Hua Xiong took advantage of this opportunity to successfully attack the camp. If it wasn't for your own selfish interests, Sun Jian might have defeated Hua Xiong and entered Hulao Pass , isn’t what I said the truth?”

"How do you know?" Yuan Shu realized that he had slipped his tongue and quickly changed his words, "I didn't do that, why did you slander me for not giving out food and grass to Sun Jian!"

However, Yuan Shu's sentence "How do you know" just now has been heard by everyone, so no matter how much he quibbles now, people still can't believe him, combined with his greedy, eager for profit, and bold and reckless character, he can really do such things.

"Yuan Shu, is what General Li said true?" Yuan Shao asked immediately, he would never let go of such a blow to Yuan Shu.

Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Yuan Shu had no choice but to admit, "Yes, I did seize his food and grass, but so what, with Sun Jianzhi's ability, even if I gave him food and grass, he still couldn't defeat Hua Xiong. It would be a waste for such a useless person to give him food and grass food!"

When Yuan Shu said these words, everyone was furious. The coalition forces could have some small conflicts in private, but the seizure of food and grass was a big taboo. Yuan Shu's performance had already aroused public outrage.
