One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 83 Changing the flag
In the central tent of the coalition army, the princes chatted one after another, waiting for the result of the one-on-one duel between Sun Jian and his son and Hua Xiong.

"Meng De, in your opinion, can Sun Jian and his son defeat Hua Xiong?" Yuan Yi leaned over and asked in a low voice to Cao Cao who was seated next to him.

Cao Cao nodded firmly and said, "Naturally we can win! Sun Wentai is a fierce tiger in Jiangdong, and Hua Xiong has already suffered losses at his hands twice."

"But that was just a battle between large armies, but today we are fighting alone!" Yuan Yi said worriedly.

Just as Cao Cao was about to explain, Yuan Shu on the opposite side said with a sneer: "In my opinion, if Wentai and his son join forces, Hua Xiong will definitely not be able to defeat him, but if he wins, I'm afraid it will be very difficult."

At this moment, the messenger's voice sounded outside the tent: "Report——Hua Xiong has returned to Hulao and locked up!"

When the princes in the tent heard it, they all cheered up and looked at the door in unison.

The summoners entered the big tent, knelt down on one knee in front of Yuan Shao, and reported again: "Report to the lord, Hua Xiong has returned to Hulao and locked up."

"But General Wentai defeated Hua Xiong?" Yuan Shao asked hastily.

The messenger said: "Hua Xiong first fought single-handedly with Colonel Sun Ce, and fought for thirty or forty times. Captain Sun was out of support, and General Sun Jian stepped forward to replace Captain Sun..."

"Don't talk about the process, just tell me whether it was General Wentai who defeated Hua Xiong." Yuan Shao interrupted the messenger impatiently.

"This..." The messenger hesitated for a while and said, "General Sun and Hua Xiong have not yet decided the winner."

When everyone heard this, they were all stunned.

"No one wins? Then why did Hua Xiong retreat?" Yuan Shao frowned and asked.

The messenger said: "General Sun and Hua Xiong fought several times, and the two fought with weapons. At this moment, Hu Zhen intervened suddenly and shot Sun Jian's army coldly. Fortunately, Captain Sun reminded him in time, and General Sun escaped..."

As soon as the words were said, Sun Jian's laughter suddenly came from outside the tent: "Hahaha, Hu Zhen is mean and shameless, and wanted to shoot a cold arrow to hurt someone, but who knows, he himself died under the cold arrow."

When the sound came, Sun Jian strode into the big tent with his head held high. Sun Ce and Qin Yi followed him from left to right.

Sun Jian's words were unclear and everyone in the tent was confused.Could it be that Hu Zhen's arrow turned around after being shot and shot himself to death?
At this moment, Sun Ce dropped a dirty object on the ground with a bang.Everyone took a closer look and their eyes widened in shock.

"This...is this Hu Zhen's head?!" Cao Cao was the first to recognize what Sun Ce threw and said quickly.

Sun Ce raised his hand to Cao Cao and said, "Mr. Cao has a good eye. This is Hu Zhen's head."

Upon hearing Sun Ce's confirmation, several people couldn't sit still. They left the table one after another and stepped forward to inspect the head.

"Wentai, what's going on?" Yuan Shao asked Sun Jian blankly.

Sun Jian said: "Someone dodged the cold arrow fired by Hu Zhen. A certain captain, Qin Yi, was not angry at Hu Zhen's shamelessness, so he returned the arrow."

"Qin Yi?" Yuan Shao subconsciously looked at Qin Yi.

"Qin Yi again?!" This was Yuan Shu's voice.Why do you say again?Probably, he thought that Xu Rong also died at Qin Yi's hands.

"Oh, it was Tianyu who shot Hu Zhen to death. Hahaha, it's not surprising at all." Cao Cao stood up with a smile, "Tianyu's shooting skills are superb, and even a certain one almost fell into his way back then!"

At this time, Qin Yi has become the focus of everyone's attention.He enjoys being in focus.However, he was embarrassed when he heard Cao Cao's words.Busily cupping his hands to Cao Cao, he said, "Mr. Cao, it was just a misunderstanding, so don't be ashamed of me."

"Hahaha, someone is praising you!" Cao Cao walked up to Qin Yi directly, and said, "If you say you are ashamed, you should be ashamed!"

Qin Yi thought to himself: That's right, it wasn't my butt that was looked at that time, why am I so ashamed!

"So, when Hua Xiong saw that Hu Zhen was dead, he led his troops back to Hulao Pass?" Yuan Shao interrupted the laughter between Cao Cao and Qin Yi.

Sun Jian nodded, and said: "Hu Zhen is the general guarding Hulao Pass. Since he is dead, Hua Xiong naturally has no intention of fighting."

Yuan Shao stopped talking, and the tent suddenly became quiet.

Cao Cao glanced at Yuan Shao, then looked at Yuan Shu, broke the silence with a chuckle, and said to Yuan Shu, "General Gonglu, before Wentai went to battle, didn't you pour him a glass of wine, at this time, is the wine still hot?"

"Oh, it's still warm, it's still warm." Yuan Shu was stunned for a moment, and immediately said with drooping eyebrows.

At this time, Yuan Shu felt mixed feelings.Jealousy, loss, shame, and a little pride.

Cao Cao walked to Yuan Shu's table, picked up the glass of wine, walked back to Sun Jian, and said, "Wentai, please drink up to the full!"

Sun Jian took the wine glass, but handed it to Qin Yi, saying, "Tian Yu, you shot Hu Zhen to death. You should drink this glass of wine."

"This..." Qin Yi was embarrassed to take the wine glass.

Cao Cao rolled his eyes, turned to Yuan Shu and said with a smile, "Both Wentai father and son and Tianyu are meritorious persons, how about asking General Gonglu to pour you two more glasses of wine?"

Yuan Shu was still a little bit out of his mind at this time. As soon as he heard Cao Cao's words, he picked up the wine pot and started to pour wine.But it was at this moment that he came to his senses and realized that Cao Cao's move was deliberately to embarrass him.But the jug had already been picked up, and in full view of everyone, he couldn't put it down anymore, so he had to endure his reluctance and pour two more glasses of wine.

Cao Cao offered the two glasses of wine to Sun Jian and Sun Ce respectively, and said, "The three of you have raised the prestige of our coalition army, please drink!"

"Hahaha, Ceer, Tianyu, please drink!" Sun Jian laughed boldly, and touched glasses with Qin Yi and Sun Ce.

Qin Yi didn't need to be pretentious anymore, he raised his neck and drank the wine in the glass.

After the three of them finished drinking, Yuan Shao let them sit down.

Sun Jian already had a seat and sat back down.Sun Ce and Tianyi were also given cushions by Yuan Shao, and sat next to Sun Jian on the left and right.

"Father Wentai and Captain Qin joined forces to kill Hu Zhen and repel Hua Xiong. This is the first achievement in the battle of Hulao Pass." Yuan Shaolang said, "Hulao Pass has not yet been broken, so I will record this achievement for now. Reward together."

This time, neither Sun Jian nor Sun Ce nor Qin Yi had any complaints.

Yuan Shao glanced at everyone in the hall, and then said: "Hu Zhen is dead. What do you think of the current situation?"

Everyone exchanged glances, and Cao Cao said: "I think that before Niu Fu and Zhang Ji arrive, Hulao Pass is leaderless, so our army should attack it immediately!"

Sun Jian also said: "Brother Meng De's words are very kind!"

Several people echoed Sun Jian and Cao Cao's suggestion.

Yuan Shao nodded, just about to give an order, but at this moment, another messenger entered the tent.

"Report—Hulao Guan City Tower suddenly removed Hu Zhen's big banner and replaced it with another big banner."

"Do you know who owns the new flag?" Yuan Shao asked hastily after hearing the words.

The messenger said: "The newly replaced flag reads 'Zhong Lang Jiang Niu'."

"It's Niu Fu's flag! He actually arrived at Hulao Pass at this time!" Cao Cao exclaimed when he heard what the messenger said.

When everyone heard this, they were all stunned.
