Chapter 52 Hua Xiong surrenders to Sishui Pass and is broken

Hua Xiong was also a little moved when he heard this. As he said, he had already admired Liu Bin for a long time, and when he was fighting with Guan Yu, he was also ready to die. However, he did not expect such a dramatic scene. He could not commit suicide now, and it seemed that there was only such a way left. It was even more impossible to help him surrender to the princes of Yuan Shao. No one went back to surrender to his defeated generals. However, he was still a little confused, so he said, "I have killed so many people from the alliance of princes. Now I am following General Guan, wouldn't it be difficult for His Highness King Jin to do?

If the princes questioned him, wouldn’t that make your highness embarrassed?" He was worried that Liu Bin would have to kill himself due to the princes’ affection. If this is true, he might as well commit suicide here. But Guan Yu snorted coldly after hearing this and said, “Just rely on them? Do they have the courage to make things difficult for our lord? Our lord has not formed an alliance with them. What qualifications do they have to do with our Youzhou Army? Besides, if you are not killed on the battlefield, you can only be considered as not good at learning skills. Who can you blame? Don’t worry. No one in this world can make things difficult for our lord.”

Hua Xiong breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, but at this time, he didn't want to go back like this. His Highness King Jin had many powerful generals. If he just went back empty-handed, he would definitely not be valued by King Jin. Since he wanted to surrender to King Jin, why not offer a big gift and make King Jin look at him with admiration. So he said, "General Guan, since that's the case, please wait for a moment. Since I decided to go back with you, I can't just go back empty-handed. I also have some prestige in the Xiliang army. I am willing to persuade the army to surrender to His Highness King Jin. I wonder what General Guan wants?"

Guan Yu couldn't help laughing and said, "I believe that the lord will be satisfied with General Hua's good intentions. However, General Hua no longer needs you to persuade him to surrender now. Look at the flag on Sishui, what has it become."

Hua Xiong quickly looked back and was shocked. It turned out that the flags of the Xiliang army on the Sishui Pass had become the flags of the Youzhou army. In other words, the Sishui Pass had been broken by the Youzhou army. Hua Xiong said in an incredible tone: "This... how is this possible?" Although he had not been to Sishui Pass for a long time, he also knew how steep the Sishui Pass was. Sishui Pass and Hulao Pass are the two major barriers in Luoyang. Monarchs of all dynasties have been vigorously built, and the troops and food in the pass were sufficient. How could it be broken in such a short time?

Guan Yu smiled and said, "General, don't care. In fact, the matter is very simple. When the general attacked Sun Jian's camp at night, the lord had secretly sent some people to enter the gate while the chaos was in trouble, and we spies were also there. When we were fighting, the people at the close were watching our battle. The spies took the opportunity to open the city gate to meet our army's entry. The generals at the close were all those who were greedy for life and fear death, so they naturally did not dare to resist. So there was not much fighting, and the Sishui Pass was captured. Okay, don't think too much, let's go to see the lord."

Seeing this situation, Hua Xiong had to follow Guan Yu back to the Youzhou Army camp in disappointment. When he saw Liu Bin, Guan Yu told him about his surrender to Hua Xiong. Hua Xiong also knelt down and said, "Hua Xiong was ignorant and had done many wrong things before. Now he is willing to surrender to His Highness the King of Jin, so please include it."

Liu Bin smiled, thinking that when he first came, he was worried about the few generals. Now there is an additional general. How can he not accept it? How can he not accept it? How can Hua Xiong be the first general of the former Western Liang Army? It is already good to be able to fight Guan Yu for so many rounds.

So Liu Bin laughed and said, "Okay, okay, it's rare for General Hua to abandon the darkness and turn to the light. Welcome General Hua to join Youzhou Army."

Hua Xiong was still nervous, not knowing if Liu Bin would not accept him, but now he can finally breathe a sigh of relief. So he quickly said, "Thank you lord."

Since Liu Bin is willing to accept him, that is his lord, of course he has to change his words quickly. However, he said again: "Lord, I have a ruthless request from my subordinates. I wonder if my lord can agree to my subordinates."

Liu Bin raised his eyebrows and said, "General Hua, but it's okay."

Although Liu Bin took Hua Xiong away, if Hua Xiong was not aware of the current affairs and made random requests, Liu Bin would drive him out without hesitation.

Hua Xiong took a deep breath, made up his mind, and said, "Report to the lord. Prime Minister Dong has kindness with his subordinates. Since he has become his subordinates, it should not be said in theory. Although I have repaid him, my subordinate still does not want to be enemies with his former benefactors, so my subordinate begged him to allow him to not take action when fighting against the Xiliang Army."

When Liu Bin heard this, he couldn't help but laugh. It turned out to be this. I thought it was. Anyway, I didn't include Hua Xiong's plan, so it doesn't matter whether he did it or not. So Liu Bin said, "It is human nature to be grateful and repay kindness. This also shows that General Hua is a loyal and righteous person. OK. I agree to your request. Since you and Yun Chang cherish each other, you can temporarily understand the rules of our Youzhou army under Yun Chang's account. After returning to Youzhou, you will make specific arrangements."

Hua Xiong was overjoyed when he heard the song and quickly took the order. Liu Bin smiled and said, "The army entered the Sishui Pass. We are here to wait for the princes to come."

Then the Youzhou army entered the Sishui Pass together and started to rest at the gate. The princes couldn't help but look at each other when they saw this situation. At first, they heard that Liu Bin not only did not take Hua Xiong in his eyes, but also did not take the Sishui Pass seriously. That attitude seemed to be able to break the Sishui Pass. They were still a little disbelief and thought that Liu Bin was talking big. They were also going to see Liu Bin's jokes and looking at Liu Bin's embarrassment after the big talk was exposed, but they didn't expect that things were really just like what Liu Bin said.

Hua Xiong was conquered by Guan Yu. Sishui Pass was also attacked by Liu Binbu's ambush. This result made them a little difficult to accept. Is Liu Bin's army really that strong in combat? Is the gap between them and Youzhou County so big? Many people feel that they seemed to have ignored Youzhou and Liu Bin before. This guy quietly had such great strength. If there was a conflict with him, would they be his opponents? These issues cannot help but ignore them.

While they were thinking, Liu Bin had already sent someone to invite them into the customs. More than a dozen princes looked at Yuan Shao together. Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and thought for a while and said, "Okay. Let's go in and take a look together. Let's see what His Highness King Jin has to give."

Then he led more than a dozen princes into Sishui Pass, and the army stayed outside the pass. Entering Sishui Pass, the soldiers of the Youzhou Army had already cleaned up the battlefield and were patrolling. Yuan Shao and others found Liu Bin under the leadership of the soldiers. Liu Bin took the lead and smiled and said, "Everyone, our Youzhou lived up to the trust and completed the task of capturing Sishui Pass. The 50,000 Xiliang Army at Sishui Pass was eliminated and 20,000 were captured. There were 20,000 more people, and 20,000 were escaped under the leadership of Li Su. Next, you may have to face Dong Zhuo at Hulao Pass. Are you planning to continue to march? Or are you planning to see if I am a king's march?" Liu Bin's words were full of jokes, just to see if Yuan Shao and the others were really a bunch of waste? If they were really bloody, they would definitely fight with Dong Zhuo, so they could spend less effort.

Yuan Shao and others looked at each other and felt humiliated, but the facts were right in front of them, so they couldn't say anything. In the end, Yuan Shao, the leader, said: "Thank you for your good intentions. Since Your Highness broke the Sishui Pass, then the next Hulao Pass will be left to us. Everyone is here to attack Dong Zhuo, so naturally we can't just let Your Highness King Jin do its best."

Liu Bin nodded with satisfaction after hearing this. However, at this time, Yuan Shu suddenly said, "Your Highness, Hua Xiong, who helped the evildoer, killed many of our soldiers. Now that he has been caught by His Highness King Jin, please give him to us to deal with and let us avenge the dead soldiers."

The other princes whose subordinates died in Huaxiong also looked at Liu Bin with an urgent look. They all knew that Huaxiong was not caught, but surrendered to Liu Bin. Yuan Shu said this, but he didn't want the generals like Huaxiong to fall into Liu Bin's hands. He also posed a problem for Liu Bin. If he handed over Huaxiong, he would make the soldiers under his command feel disappointed, and no one would dare to surrender to him in the future, so that his power would be reduced a lot. If he didn't hand over the handling, he would just ignore the feelings of the battlefield, the dead soldiers, the princes, and the feelings of more than 100,000 soldiers. No matter how he chose, it would be a little trouble.

After hearing Yuan Shu's words, Liu Bin couldn't help but squint his eyes and sneered in his heart. These people still don't have a good memory, and they still want to play tricks and conspiracies with him. Want to see that he is ugly? Humph. There is no door. This problem is difficult for others, but it is not difficult for Liu Bin at all. So Liu Bin said: "What does the highway mean? On the battlefield, there are no eyes and swords and guns. There are casualties when fighting each other. Moreover, both sides were their own masters at that time, so no one could blame. Hua Xiong took the initiative to surrender to me, not my captive. I have accepted his surrender. He is now part of my Youzhou army. Do you want me to hand him over now, do you want to provoke a war between you and our Youzhou? Or do you want to challenge my prestige?"
