Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 504 Xu Huang's Fear

Cheng Yu frowned when he heard Xiahou Dun say this.

He subconsciously wanted to stop it.

But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

The reason is very simple. As a relative of Cao Cao, Xiahou Dun's status in the court today is much higher than his.

Among the civil and military officials of other surnames, except Xun Yu, who dared to suppress Xiahou Dun, all others had to bow their heads when they saw Xiahou Dun.

Not to mention, not long ago, Xiahou Dun had won a victory. With the assistance of Jia Xu and others, he destroyed the 50,000-strong army of Qingzhou Mu Yuan Tan in Puyang City in one fell swoop.

With such achievements, Cao Cao submitted a memorial to the emperor, appointing him as the governor of Yanzhou, General Jianwu, and granted him the power of the imperial seal and axe.

Now, he wants to go to war, and it is not a good thing to stop him.

Besides, Baima is not too far from here.

I believe he won't be too reckless.

Even if he encountered the enemy and the two sides fought, he would still have time to retreat.

Thinking of this, Cheng Yu said, "General Xiahou can go."

"However, we need to be careful and not engage in battle lightly."

"Just find out the enemy situation clearly."

"The Lord is in the rear and can't make it here."

"If it really doesn't work, we will wait for the lord's army to gather, and then we will attack the enemy with all our strength."

"Don't be impulsive."

Xiahou Dun clasped his fists and strode forward, saying, "Three thousand vanguards of Xu Huang's army, follow me!"

A tall man clasped his fists and ran out.
Cao Chun also clasped his fists towards Cheng Yu and walked out quickly.

Xiahou Dun rode his horse to the north of the city first.

It didn't take long before Cao Chun arrived on horseback with fifty cavalrymen.

Afterwards, Xu Huang trotted over with three thousand infantrymen.

The army gathered, and Xiahou Dun personally led the way, marching quickly towards Bai Ma.

Cheng Yu led his generals to the city gate tower.

Looking down at Xiahou Dun, Xu Huang, and Cao Chun leaving in a hurry, Cheng Yu looked at the strong man beside him and said, "Captain Le Jin!"

Le Jin stepped forward quickly, saluted and said, "Military Advisor!"

Cheng Yu pointed to three miles outside the city and said in a deep voice: "Take three thousand soldiers and wait three miles outside."

"If General Xiahou returns safely, you will return to the city in the next half hour."

"If General Xiahou retreats in defeat, you will lead 3,000 soldiers to cover his retreat and protect him."

Le Jin looked at Cheng Yu with some surprise.

The two soldiers just reported: The enemy has only one thousand cavalry!
Xiahou Dun led three thousand troops there.

Among them were Cao Chun and fifty Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

Do we still need to prepare for this?
Could it be that these one thousand enemies were trying to trap Chen’s camp?

impossible!

Would Xiahou Dun be so miserable that he would be trapped in Chen Camp every time?
However, despite his doubts, Le Jin still responded and left quickly.

Cheng Yu watched Le Jin leave and looked at the horizon with a sullen face.

Jizhou Mu?

Is that the lord's son-in-law?
I also went to Hangu Pass to defend the king!
Thinking of Dian Wei and Cai Yang being killed, Cheng Yu sighed.

This kid is really amazing.

Yuan Shao, his three sons, and one nephew all died.

Hebei is in this guy's hands.

But, how did this guy get here?
How could he, Yuan Shao's son-in-law, intimidate so many civil and military officials in Hebei?
If he really came here, he must have brought more than just a few people with him.

After all, he is no longer the General of the Central Army of the past.

Now he is the lord of Hebei!

But then again, if it was really him, and he could be killed here—

Then Hebei will be relatively easy to take.

Once the entire Hebei Province is taken over——

Cheng Yu took a few deep breaths before suppressing his inner excitement.

Could it be that the way of heaven should prevail in Cao?
Then I would also be a loyal minister.

Then Xiahou Dun took Xu Huang and Cao Chun and headed straight for Bai Ma.

They soon came upon the small mountain of human heads.

I also saw the images of the three flags that the soldiers mentioned.

Still in the distance, Xiahou Dun watched this scene with anger rising to his head.

How dare someone act so boldly in Yanzhou's territory!

Today, I must take off his head and use it as a chamber pot!

As soon as Xiahou Dun, Xu Huang and Cao Chun's army appeared, someone noticed them.

Zhang Sui was sitting cross-legged on the ground, playing Landlord with Xu Rong and Huang Han.

After hearing the report, Zhang Sui threw away the cards and led everyone to mount their horses.

A thousand cavalrymen quickly rushed to the side of the Human Head Hill.

Xu Huang saw Zhang Sui from a distance, swallowed his saliva, approached Xiahou Dun, and shouted: "General Xiahou, it's that guy, the new ruler of Hebei, he's crazy! He personally led the troops here, and judging from the posture, there are only a thousand cavalry!"

Xiahou Dun stared at Xu Huang with eyes wide open, looking at his fearful face. He spat at Xu Huang and said, "Xu Gongming, what are you afraid of?"

Xu Huang smiled awkwardly and said, "General Xiahou, be careful!"

"When he was serving the king, I was also at Hangu Pass. Although I was not under the command of the lord, I witnessed him chopping off General Dian Wei, a fierce general under the lord's command, with one sword!"

Pointing at Xu Rong behind Zhang Sui, Xu Huang forced a smile and said, "Do you see that man? That is the General Xu Rong who almost forced the lord to commit suicide by jumping into the river."

Cao Chun, who was standing by, also noticed Xu Rong and his face turned pale.

He was only a teenager at the time and followed his cousin Cao Cao to fight against Dong Zhuo.

That time they were ambushed by Xu Rong's three thousand cavalrymen. He escaped by jumping into the river and hiding under the corpses.

He did not go when the king was called to help, so he did not know how Dian Wei and others were killed.

However, he still often has nightmares. He dreams of Xu Rong leading the cavalry and himself floating in the river, hiding under the corpses, watching the horrific scene as Xu Rong and his men pass by.

Xiahou Dun was about to scold Xu Huang for being so cowardly, but he noticed that Cao Chun beside him also turned pale.

Xiahou Dun narrowed his eyes immediately.

These two cowards.

He wondered who was coming.

Isn’t he Cao Cao’s cheap son-in-law?
At that age, how great can you be?

He thought that he had just defeated Yuan Tan's 50,000 troops in Puyang City and almost wiped out the entire army.

In terms of combat performance, can that guy compare to me?
His gaze shifted from Xu Huang and Cao Chun to the hill of human heads in front of him and the three flags fluttering in the wind. Xiahou Dun clenched his sword tightly and his face completely fell.

He brought his army to a stop less than fifty steps away from Zhang Sui.

The armies of both sides faced off.

Zhang Sui, holding his lance, rode forward alone and said with a smile, "I am the ruler of Hebei, the General Zhendong and the governor of Jizhou, Zhang Sui."

"I heard that my good father-in-law Cao Gong tore up the alliance agreement and wanted to attack northwards when my good father-in-law Yuan Gong died unfortunately?"

"I have come here specially to greet you, waiting for my good father-in-law to come up and die."

"Everyone, who are you to him?"

Cao Chun and Xu Huang turned pale.

Xu Huang said in a low voice: "It's really him."

Looking at Xiahou Dun, Xu Huang said, "General Xiahou, he is the new ruler of Hebei. Let's go back quickly and wait for the Lord to lead the main force to deal with him."

Cao Chun hesitated for a while and also advised: "General Xiahou, be careful!"
