Chapter 178 Xiahou Dun: Brother, It’s Bad, Xi Fengyi Is Going to Rebel!
"Sir, what happened today?"
Seeing Xiahou Dun and the others go away, Zhao Yun couldn't help looking at Guo Jia, and his tone was a bit hesitant.
Guo Jia understood what Zhao Yun wanted to say, and couldn't help but laugh out loud with a slight smile on his lips.
"General Zilong, are you worried that Xiahou Dun will find Cao Sikong and cause trouble for Fengyi?"
Guo Jia spoke.
Zhao Yun nodded subconsciously, and Dian Wei and Huang Zhong looked over at him.
Without waiting for Guo Jia to explain, Jia Xu shook his head.
"I think Cao Mengde is a hero of the time. Generals can rest assured. This matter is nothing?"
Now that Xiahou Dun made such a fuss, Cao Cao, who was in Xuchang, really didn't know.
I think he should know, but he just pretended not to know!
Seeing that Guo Jia and Jia Xu had already determined that there would be no problems with today's matter, Zhao Yun didn't think much about it.
At the same time
Xiahou Dun, who was rushing back to Xuchang, became more and more angry, and even his horse sped up.
After entering Xuchang City, Xiahou Dun rode his horse ahead and headed straight for Sikong Mansion.
Not long after, they arrived at Sikong Mansion.
The guards in front of the mansion gate saw Xiahou Dun coming, but did not stop him. Xiahou Dun led Xiahou Yuan and others into Sikong Mansion.
After passing the main gate, Xiahou Dun went straight to the main room.
However, before the group of people passed the corridor and reached the main room, they saw Xu Chu standing at the door of the main hall with a big horse and a golden sword from a distance.
At this moment, Xu Chu naturally noticed Xiahou Dun and others, but his expression did not change.
Xiahou Dun glanced at Xu Chu, nodded, and then raised his foot to pretend to walk into the main hall.
Who would have thought that at this moment, Xu Chu blocked the way of Xiahou Dun and his companions.
"Xu Chu, what are you doing?"
Xiahou Dun raised his eyebrows slightly.
Xu Chu lowered his eyelids and glanced at Xiahou Dun and his companions with a faint look: "Sikong is taking a nap and told me not to see guests!"
"I have something to ask you, big brother, get out of my way!"
Ignoring Xu Chu's reply, Xiahou Dun raised his hand and wanted to push Xu Chu away, but Xu Chu's face became stern after he had just moved in front of him.
At this moment, Xu Chu was blocking the door, like a statue.
His feet seemed to be rooted in the ground, and no matter how Xiahou Dun pushed him, his whole body did not move at all.
He could not give way, not at all!
Xu Chu had a gloomy face. Before Xiahou Dun and others came, Cao Cao had already warned him in advance that if anyone came to see him, he must be blocked outside the door.
After understanding this, Xu Chu had been waiting outside the door for a long time.
At this time, Xiahou Dun was about to explode.
Xu Chu in front of him didn't understand what he meant.
Was he a guest?
"Xu Chu, what do you mean? I have something important to see my elder brother. Can you bear the responsibility for delaying the important matter?"
Xiahou Dun's face turned black. It was not an easy thing for him to pass Xu Chu alone.
But Xiahou Yuan and others who followed him this time stood behind him one by one, without any intention of moving forward.
He also knew that in front of Cao Cao, they, the brothers, were in awe after all.
But, what time has it come? Is it the time to take these things into consideration?
Xiahou Dun shouted at Xu Chu, but Xu Chu's face didn't change at all. It seemed that no matter what Xiahou Dun said, he would not give way at all.
Xu Chu turned a deaf ear to him, and Xiahou Dun turned back to look at Xiahou Yuan and others.
Xiahou Yuan and others just frowned.
At this time, Xiahou Dun's anger was getting stronger and stronger, and his voice couldn't help but get louder.
"Get out of the way, don't force me to do it!"
Xiahou Dun glared at Xu Chu, and casually pressed on the sword at his waist.
Xu Chu's face remained unchanged.
"Get out of the way, if you don't get out of the way, don't blame me for not blinking with the sword in my hand!"
With a bang, Xiahou Dun drew out the sword at his waist, and when he raised his hand, the long sword was already across Xu Chu's neck.
Xu Chu raised his eyebrows slightly.
"I have the order from Sikong. Even if you chop me today, I will not move aside!"
"If you really want to go over, just chop me!"
Xu Chu said in a deep voice. At this moment, Xiahou Yuan hurried forward to hold Xiahou Dun.
"Yuan Rang, calm down!"
Xu Chu was Cao Cao's guard. The matter in front of him was his duty.
Could it be that Xiahou Dun really chop Xu Chu just to see Cao Cao?
At this moment, Xu Chu was unmoved. Xiahou Dun felt helpless.
He couldn't really chop Xu Chu.
But with Xu Chu blocking the door, he couldn't enter the main hall at all, and naturally couldn't see Cao Cao.
But at this moment, Xiahou Dun couldn't care less. He glanced at Xu Chu, turned his head and looked straight into the main hall.
"Brother, brother!"
Across Xu Chu, Xiahou Dun shouted loudly.
The sound was so loud that it seemed to echo in the whole main hall.
"Brother, that Xi Fengyi disobeyed your order. I think he wants to rebel. Brother, you can't just ignore it!"
"Brother, brother!"
Xiahou Dun raised his voice and started yelling at the main hall.
Xu Chu in front of him had a twitching face. He probably knew what happened. Seeing Xiahou Dun like this, Xu Chu was speechless.
But Cao Cao had already warned him that he would never let them go like this.
However, Xiahou Dun was shouting at the top of his voice, which was beyond his control.
As a guard, he could only stop him from leaving the door.
He couldn't stop the shouting.
He couldn't just go up and cover Xiahou Dun's mouth, that would be a bit too much.
Xu Chu stood there, looking like he had nothing to do with it.
At this time, Xiahou Dun was shouting more and more excited, nothing more than some slanderous words about Xi Yu.
As a result, the whole Sikong Mansion became a little noisy.
At this moment, in the main hall, Cao Cao helplessly turned over from the couch.
When Xiahou Dun and others just came over, he noticed it, and originally wanted Xu Chu to stop Xiahou Dun and others.
Who would have thought that the person didn't come in, but the voice came in.
In this situation, Cao Cao couldn't help but look a little black.
Xiahou Dun's voice outside was getting louder and louder. If it continued like this, it would not be long before the whole Xuchang would spread some news.
What's more, Xiahou Dun kept mentioning Xi Yu's name.
If these words were really spread, it would be very likely that he and Xi Yu would be at odds, which would not be a good thing for him at that time.
At present, there was no conflict between him and Xi Yu.
But some things are afraid of rumors.
Some things will slowly become true if they are spread too much.
At present, the world is not settled yet, and he needs Xi Yu to help him to pacify the world.
Once the people of Xuchang spread the news that he and Xi Yu were at odds with each other, Cao Cao was worried that the princes of the world would never miss this opportunity.
Xiahou Dun's voice continued in his ears, and Cao Cao got up from the bed with a dark face.
He didn't even tidy up his clothes, and rushed to the main hall door in two or three steps barefoot.
Not long after, Cao Cao appeared at the main hall door.
At this time, Xiahou Dun was about to shout with his mouth open. Seeing this, Cao Cao's face darkened in an instant.
"Xiahou Dun, you are so presumptuous!"
"You are the general of an army. How can you shout in my house like this!"
Cao Cao scolded him. When he saw Cao Cao coming out, Xiahou Dun's face suddenly showed a trace of grievance.
"Brother!"
As Xiahou Dun spoke, Xiahou Yuan and others beside him also shouted with Cao Cao: "Brother!"
Cao Cao raised his eyes and looked at everyone, his expression was pulled down.
At this time, he looked up at Xu Chu, and the meaning in his eyes was very clear.
Why didn't you stop these guys!
Cao Cao complained a little, but Xu Chu looked innocent at this time.
He looked at Cao Cao, and his face seemed to say, I stopped them, didn't they go in, you came out by yourself!
As for others shouting, you didn't ask me to stop them from shouting!
Xu Chu looked innocent, and Cao Cao was somewhat helpless. He turned back to look at Xiahou Dun and the others, and his face sank.
"Don't be so presumptuous!"
"Get in here!"
Cao Cao turned around and walked into the main hall. At this time, Xiahou Dun and the others did not say much, but just followed Cao Cao.
Xu Chu curled his lips and let out a long breath.
Sikong, if you knew this would happen, why did you let me block them?
After entering the main hall, Cao Cao sat on a straw mat on the side, staring at Xiahou Dun not far away.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
This time Cao Cao asked knowingly. When Xiahou Dun took people to find the guard camp, Cao Cao already knew the whole story.
He didn't want to deal with this matter, but Xiahou Dun came to him like this.
More importantly, this guy didn't care and rode on the street in Xuchang.
Cao Cao's head was a little big when he thought about this.
I think Xun Yu will definitely talk about Xiahou Dun and others riding horses in the street tomorrow.
However, he can only pretend not to know about this matter at the moment.
At this time, Xiahou Dun did not hesitate at all when he heard Cao Cao's question.
He sat down in the main hall with a big horse and a golden sword, and then he opened his mouth and shouted.
"Brother, Xi Fengyi intends to rebel. Please give me a password so that I can lead the troops to suppress the rebellion!"
Although he said so, Xiahou Dun did sit in the main hall and had no intention of leading the troops out.
Cao Cao naturally understood, but when he heard the other party say this, his eyebrows couldn't help but raise.
"How dare you, Xiahou Dun! Don't make such a fuss here!"
"Feng Yi and I are as close as brothers. Don't say such things again!"
Cao Cao once again expressed his attitude in front of Xiahou Dun and others.
What Xi Yu is rebelling.
If Xi Yu has such thoughts, how can I not know it at all.
I can't understand what you are thinking, Xiahou Dun.
It will be a few thousand soldiers soon!
There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Cao Ying. At most, I can supplement them from other places. Why do you make a fuss about such a small matter?
Cao Cao was a little tired.
It would be great if Xiahou Dun and others could understand his thoughts.
Now that the princes of the world have risen up, is it time to fight among themselves?
Yuan Shao in the north is eyeing Yanzhou, and it is hard to say when he will tear his face and lead troops to attack!
There are also Liu Biao and others in the south.
Cao Cao was a little helpless. The instability of these clan brothers made him feel uncomfortable.
Who can understand his thoughts!
"I see that you are full of alcohol. I think you are drunk. Go back and don't mention this matter in the future!"
Cao Cao waved his hand. He didn't have time to deal with such trivial matters of Xiahou Dun and others.
For him, the most important thing now is to lead troops to the expedition after the autumn harvest.
However, as soon as Cao Cao said this, Xiahou Dun and others felt more wronged.
You and Xi Fengyi are as close as brothers!
Then what are we?
A person from another surname is as close to you as a brother. Are we, your close brothers, still not as good as Xi Fengyi in your eyes?
Xiahou Dun was upset, and the faces of Xiahou Yuan and others also fell.
Cao Cao didn't care about the faces of several people at this time.
In his opinion, this matter was ultimately because Xi Yu had been wronged in front of him before.
When Cao Cao heard that the guard camp went directly to the camp of Xiahou Dun and others to ask for soldiers and horses, he was still quite happy.
People like Feng Yi couldn't help it after all.
He was not afraid of Xi Yu getting angry, only anger could show that the friendship between them was still in their hearts.
But, if he was not even angry, it would make people worried.
After all, he could bear such a grievance before, so who could know what he was thinking.
Now that the guard camp had such behavior, Cao Cao was still very relieved.
I thought Xiahou Dun and others should understand his intentions, but it was just a few soldiers and horses!
What could it be?
He had already explained his meaning by letting Xu Chu block the door.
Who would have thought that Xiahou Dun could not understand the deep meaning of his actions at all.
"Is this what Sikong originally thought?"
"It seems that in Sikong's eyes, my brothers are not even as good as Xi Fengyi!"
Xiahou Dun opened his mouth, and the complaint in his tone was already very obvious.
As soon as he said this, Cao Cao had already noticed something was wrong.
He looked up at Xiahou Dun, and then turned his head to look at Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong and others.
The faces of several people were almost the same.
I think they agreed with Xiahou Dun's statement in their hearts.
Cao Cao secretly thought it was not good.
He thought Xiahou Dun and others could understand his thoughts, but now that he had said this, their heads were still as wooden as elm.
Not enlightened at all.
"Yuan Rang, Miao Cai, Zi Lian..."
"It's nothing more than some soldiers. There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers in our army. How many are missing today? I will help you guys make up for it in the future. Isn't that enough?"
Cao Cao said in a low voice, taking the initiative to lower his attitude in front of the few people.
Hearing this, Xiahou Dun and the others did not react at all.
"Sikong, although there are only a thousand soldiers, they have been with us for several years. I don't know how much effort we have invested!"
"How can we be willing to be taken away like this?"
Xiahou Dun did not speak, but Xiahou Yuan next to him took the initiative to speak.
Hearing this, Cao Cao raised his eyes and looked at the few people again.
"I know the soldiers you are talking about. They are all Qingzhou soldiers gathered in Yanzhou!"
"But you know that although these soldiers are under your command, do they really regard you as their main generals?"
"If they are loyal soldiers, how can they be lured away by others!"
"What's more, in the eyes of these Qingzhou soldiers, they only recognize me and Fengyi!"
"In my opinion, this matter is not a bad thing for you!"
Cao Cao said in a deep voice and began to explain to several people.
"These soldiers did not surrender to you after all. It's a good thing for them to leave this time. You can recruit soldiers and cultivate them as your confidants, so that such things will not happen again in the future!"
Xiahou Dun and others still looked a little dark.
This is just a nice thing to say.
To train new soldiers, don't you need to spend energy, time, resources, etc. to train them?
If you want to train a strong elite army like the one before, I don't know how long it will take. Who doesn't like ready-made troops?
"Meng De!"
"We respect you, on the one hand because you are our brother, and on the other hand we respect you as a person!"
"When you called on the court to raise troops to fight against the Yellow Turbans, I followed you. Have I ever complained in all these years?"
Xiahou Dun stood up, and his voice couldn't help but be a little heavy.
Cao Cao stood up after hearing this, and his expression became serious.
After a pause, Xiahou Dun glanced at Xiahou Yuan and others.
Which of these brothers didn't follow Cao Cao when he was insignificant? Even when he was young, Cao Cao made mistakes, and they helped him.
Xiahou Yuan was even imprisoned for this.
When Xi Fengyi came, his status in Cao Cao's heart surpassed them.
Could it be said that in Cao Cao's eyes, they are really not as good as Xi Fengyi?
Yes!
Xiahou Dun admitted that their martial arts were indeed not as good as Xi Fengyi's.
They were also not as good as him in terms of wisdom and strategy.
However, did Cao Cao really get to where he is now because of his performance?
It's hard to believe that everything these clan brothers have done before was ignored by Cao Cao.
At this time, Xiahou Dun didn't want to say anything anymore. If Cao Cao confirmed this matter today, these brothers might have some things that they would never be able to go back to.
"Yuan Rang!"
Cao Cao shouted, and at this moment he couldn't help but clenched his fist.
Originally there were some things that he didn't want to say directly, but now, if he didn't directly reveal his inner thoughts.
These elm heads may go all the way to darkness.
Regardless of his disloyalty, the key point is that he cannot do without the support of these clan brothers.
"Sit down first!"
Cao Cao took a few steps forward and soon came to Xiahou Dun.
He took a deep breath and slowly raised his eyes.
