Chapter 78 History is so similar
Xun Yu's arrival left Xiahou Dun speechless.
He had to control his temper and prepare himself mentally.
Whoever sends them from over there, we must accept them completely.
"wrong……"
After regaining his composure, Xiahou Dun keenly sensed that Xun Yu's arrival was not a simple matter.
If it were simply because of his own personality, the lord would never have made such an arrangement.
and so.
There is only one possibility: the people sent this time, or the upcoming actions, are of great importance to our lord!
"What is it, General?" Xun Yu raised his eyebrows, looking at him with a half-smile.
"Sir!" Xiahou Dun walked over quickly, looking slightly embarrassed.
"If it were merely for my sake, there would be no need for you to come in person, sir!"
"Is there perhaps another meaning behind this?"
"It's been a long time, General. You seem to have improved!" Xun Yu said without offering any explanation.
Instead, he left those words behind and turned to leave!
"Why?"
Xiahou Dun wanted to stop him, but it was too late.
Just over half an hour later, his men came again to report that Guan Yu from Puyang had come by imperial decree.
We are already outside the city. Please let Xiahou Dun make the decision himself!
If this had happened before, he would never have paid any attention to it; instead, he would have tried to find a way to humiliate them.
After a brief silence, Xiahou Dun personally led his men out of the city, choosing to greet them with the utmost sincerity.
at the same time.
Xun Yu was standing on the city wall, looking down at the people below with a smile on his lips.
"Although the General can be impulsive at times, he still knows what to do when it matters!"
"This child is teachable!"
……
Guan Yu was somewhat annoyed...
He realized he seemed to have miscalculated.
That Xiahou Dun doesn't seem to be as short-tempered as the rumors say.
Instead of humiliating himself, he personally led people out of the city to greet him.
What's going on here?
As the other party drew closer, he had no choice but to choose another plan.
Let's take it one step at a time!
I'll get this bastard to make a move using my own methods!
"I never expected that General Guan would come in person. It's our good fortune!" Xiahou Dun said with a smile as he bowed to the ground on his warhorse.
After Guan Yu ordered the army to stop, he remained on horseback but did not speak immediately.
nowadays.
Kaiyang was surrounded by Yuan Shao's army, and his appearance was simply a matter of timing.
The longer we stay here, the more likely we are to alert Yuan's army and fall into an extremely unfavorable situation.
Guan Yu intended to exploit this point to stir up his emotions.
Whether it's useful or not, it's always good to lay the groundwork first!
however.
Time passed slowly, and Xiahou Dun maintained the gesture of cupping his hands.
The smile on his face remained unchanged, as if he didn't care at all about his delay.
After a long silence, Guan Yu calmly spoke, "General Xiahou's willingness to set aside past grievances and personally come out of the city to welcome you is truly admirable!"
"But please rest assured, General, my lord has already severely punished Lü Bu!"
These things don't need to be said too explicitly; just being aware of them is enough!
He was absolutely certain that, given Xiahou Dun's strength, he must have known about Lü Bu's current predicament long ago.
Combined with what he just said, the sarcasm is off the charts!
really.
When Xiahou Dun's sore spot was touched, his expression changed instantly.
Even so, after a brief change in expression, he returned to normal.
"Thank you for your concern, General Guan..."
"Let bygones be bygones. Now we are all serving the imperial court."
"Do not let these things affect the court's plans. The rebels are already at the city gates, yet they are still unwilling to retreat!"
"I'm afraid we'll have to trouble the General to personally intervene and lift the siege of Kaiyang!"
After some tugging, Xiahou Dun no longer hesitated and took the lead in walking into the city.
He was afraid that if the stalemate continued, he would lose his temper and chop that bastard up!
But he remembered this grudge!
After entering Kaiyang City, Guan Yu's army was deployed to the outermost edge of the city.
This was, of course, Xiahou Dun's deliberate act!
Regardless of any personal grudges between them, they were, after all, foreign troops, and they had to be careful at all times.
However, Xiahou Dun invited all the main generals in the army to the main tent of the military camp.
Fine wine and meat were served and laid out on the tables of each general.
only.
They looked at these so-called delicacies, but showed no intention of touching them.
These things are simply not presentable compared to what we usually enjoy.
They noticed that none of them had moved, and they didn't even seem to want to drink.
Xiahou Dun was starting to lose face!
Even if one understands all the reasons in one's heart, one cannot withstand repeated provocations.
As the atmosphere grew increasingly tense, Xun Yu reappeared.
He walked over leisurely, dressed in a gray robe, with a smile on his face the whole time.
Just as he stopped in front of Guan Yu, he gave a slight bow and said, "I am Xun Yu, greetings to General Guan!"
"My lord greatly admires the general. Perhaps, if there is an opportunity in the future, he could invite the general to the Minister of Works' residence for a chat!"
Guan Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, picked up the wine cup in front of him, and took a sip.
He completely disregarded Xun Yu's greetings.
He had also heard of this person's identity; he was one of Cao Cao's closest confidants.
If it weren't for the current situation, I really wouldn't be willing to take action in this manner.
"you……!"
Xiahou Dun was about to slam his fist on the table and stand up when Xun Yu slowly shook his head and continued, "General Guan's ability to bring troops here this time is enough to prove your and your brother's loyalty to the court!"
"His Majesty will surely be pleased to know, as the siege of Kaiyang has directly impacted the political situation!"
"Yuan Shao harbored wolfish ambitions and never gave up his covetousness for Korea."
"General Xiahou is wounded and unable to face the general sent by Yuan Shao!"
"Now it's all right..."
He paused deliberately and then burst into laughter, perfectly controlling the situation.
By bringing up Xiahou Dun's injury earlier, they have managed to keep a low profile.
"With General Guan's arrival, the siege of Kaiyang should be resolved soon!"
"Report—"
A soldier quickly approached, respectfully cupping his hands and saying, "Reporting to General, General Yan Liang of Yuan's army is challenging us outside!"
Swish!
All eyes were on Guan Yu, and Xun Yu naturally said, "General, you have come from afar and should be resting!"
"However, such opportunities are rare, and we still need General Lao..."
Before he could finish speaking, Guan Yu got up and walked outside.
He casually left behind a sentence: "A mere speculator like him dares to boast outside?"
"The abilities of Cao Cao's army are truly astounding!"
The other generals followed suit, leaving Xiahou Dun and the others looking at each other in bewilderment.
Only Xun Yu had a smile on his face the whole time!
Dealing with this person wasn't as difficult as I'd imagined. Once he made his move, things would be much simpler afterward...
