Xiahou Dun said goodbye to Guo Jia and went to the military camp, preparing to lead a group of troops to intercept Guan Yu.
"The military advisor asked me to find another general to go with me. Who should I call?" Although Xiahou Dun was not willing to ask others to deal with Guan Yu, he could also put the overall situation first and put aside his pride and face. After all, if he really let go
If Guan Yu escapes, the consequences will be serious.
However, Xiahou Dun also knew that most of the generals in Cao's camp had a good relationship with Guan Yu. If they were invited to intercept and kill Guan Yu, many of them might not agree.
"Otherwise, go find a talented person." Xiahou Dun thought of his younger brother.
Although Xia Houyuan did not hate Guan Yu as much as he did, his friendship with Guan Yu was not deep, and the relationship between the two could only be described as average.
There is a deep brotherhood between me and Xia Houyuan, and Xia Houyuan, like me, always puts Cao Ying's interests first. I asked him to hunt down Guan Yu together, and I think he would agree.
Unfortunately, things went against expectations. Xiahou Dun walked from the military camp to Xia Houyuan's home, but could not find him. Finally, he learned from the housekeeper that Xia Houyuan had been called by Cao Cao to discuss military affairs.
Since Xiahou Yuan was found by Cao Cao, Xiahou Dun did not dare to look for him rashly. It would be bad if Cao Cao noticed any clues.
But Xia Houyuan was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he didn't know how long he would have to discuss with Cao Cao. Xiahou Dun was impatient, and he was afraid that if he waited too long, Guan Yu would be too far away to catch up, so after a thought, he finally decided not to find anyone else and go alone.
Go and intercept Guan Yu.
He went to his military camp and ordered a hundred tiger and leopard cavalry, then headed towards the city gate.
Not finding Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun originally considered whether to bring more troops. However, a hundred people leaving the city would be conspicuous enough. If there were more people, Cao Cao would be alarmed. After all, he led troops out of the city privately without receiving any instructions.
This is an extremely serious matter.
Well, I don’t believe that so many people can’t defeat Guan Yu? Xiahou Dun thought in his heart.
When Xiahou Dun arrived at the city gate with a hundred people, he happened to meet Gao Shun who was returning from training soldiers on the outskirts of the city.
"Where is Yuan Rang going?" Seeing Xiahou Dun's formation, Gao Shun was startled.
Although there are many generals in Cao's camp who will take some troops out of the city for training from time to time, it is too weird for someone like Xiahou Dun. Judging from the soldiers behind him, they only have about a hundred horses. Who would train with so few?
The men and horses are going out? Moreover, these hundreds of cavalrymen have different weapons, some are holding spears, and some are holding bows and arrows, which makes Gao Shun very confused.
"Uh..." Xiahou Dun was not good at lying and was blocked by Gao Shun. He couldn't think of anything to say for a while and looked flustered.
"Yuan Rang, what's wrong with you? You look so weird. Could it be that you want to rebel with these 100 cavalry?" Seeing Xiahou Dun's hesitant look, Gao Shun was also amused and made fun of him.
.
"Ha, how is this possible?" Xiahou Dun also laughed. Being disturbed by Gao Shun, his previous embarrassment somewhat faded away.
Why not just tell Gao Shunde the purpose of his trip? It would also avoid arousing suspicion. Xiahou Dun thought in his mind.
In terms of friendship, Xiahou Dun and Gao Shun are definitely close buddies. The two have had a friendship to fight against Lu Bu since Cao Cao first established his foothold in Yanzhou. In the following years, the brotherhood between the two also deepened day by day.
.Now it can be said that the friendship between Gao Shun and Xiahou Dun is no worse than the friendship between Xiahou Dun and Xia Houyuan.
Moreover, according to Xiahou Dun's knowledge, Guan Yu was on good terms with Cao Ying's generals, such as Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and others. However, the relationship between Gao Shun and Guan Yu can only be described in general terms.
describe.
This is strange, Gao Shun had good contacts with almost all the generals in Cao's camp, except Guan Yu.
How about telling Gao Shun the purpose of his trip and inviting him to join him in killing Guan Yu? This tempting idea quickly spread in Xiahou Dun's mind.
Gao Shun's martial arts is also among the best in Cao Ying, even better than his own. If he is willing to help deal with Guan Yu, the chance of killing Guan Yu will increase by several points.
However, when Cao's army attacked Xuzhou, Guan Yu was besieged by Cao's army, and he was already ready to die heroically. Wasn't it Gao Shun who came forward at that time and prepared a set of rhetoric to persuade Guan Yu to temporarily join Cao's camp? Gao Shun must have been more interested in Guan Yu than
I admire him very much, otherwise why bother to try so hard to save his life? In this case, would he still agree to kill Guan Yu with him? When Xiahou Dun was about to invite him, he suddenly thought of this again and became a little bit
It's wavering.
"Yuan Rang, what is going on?" Gao Shun saw that Xiahou Dun had been hesitating and felt that something was wrong. When he asked, his tone could not help but become more serious.
That's all, the worst that can be said is that based on Gao Shun's friendship with him, even if he disagrees with him, he will never reveal anything to Cao Cao.
"My lord has let Guan Yu go, and I am about to hunt him down! I wonder if Chang Gong can help me?" Xiahou Dun said to Gao Shun in a deep voice.
"What?" Gao Shun was also surprised when he heard this.
Gao Shun knew that Guan Yu had been asking Cao Cao to leave these days, but he didn't know that Cao Cao had already let Guan Yu leave.
What surprised Gao Shun even more was that Xiahou Dun actually went after Guan Yu.
After learning the news, Gao Shun looked behind Xiahou Dun and discovered that the soldiers brought out by Xiahou Dun were all tiger and leopard cavalry, the best among the best.
"Is this your lord's intention?" Gao Shun subconsciously believed that Xiahou Dun's move to pursue Guan Yu was due to Cao Cao's instructions.
Cao Cao was a tycoon. Since he was a tycoon, how could he stick to any promises? At this time, Gao Shun mistakenly believed that Cao Cao promised to let Guan Yu go, but secretly sent Xiahou Dun to pursue him.
