When the Eighteenth Route Princes were attacking Dong Zhuo, Lü Bu was about to go out on his horse himself, but he was stopped by Hua Xiong. This was the first appearance of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, And as an important foil for Guan Yu, Hua Xiong spoke amazingly, and he said loudly: "Cut the chicken with a cattle knife? Don't go to the house. I beheaded the princes of all ranks, such as probing the sac to take the ear! In Hua Xiong's eyes, these eighteen princes were all worthless figures, and it was as easy to take their lives as it was to probe for things.
Dong Zhuo was naturally very happy that his subordinates were so confident, so he sent Huaxiong to lead an army of 50,000 to Fenshui Pass to resist the enemy. Hua Xiong did not say a big word, Bao Zhong and Zu Mao were both beheaded by him, Yuan Shu's General Yu Shi only lasted three rounds before hanging up, and General Pan Feng and Hua Xiong fought and died. Hua Xiong slashed four generals in a row, and at once he calmed down the princes, and no one dared to fight again, and in the end, it was Guan Yu who came out to get Hua Xiong.
So at that time, except for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, was there no one who was Hua Xiong's opponent? I don't think so, at least Cao Cao's men can easily take care of Huaxiong. Although Cao Cao had only just raised an army at this time, his power was still very weak, and xu chu, Dianwei, And Xu Huang and other fierce generals had not yet returned to him. However, Cao Cao still had Cao Hong, Xiahou Huan, Cao Ren, and Xiahou Yuan under his command. Let's leave others alone, Cao Hong alone can easily get Huaxiong.
Why? We can compare Cao Hong's record. Cao Hong has fought with many people in his lifetime, the most famous of which is Ma Chao. During the Battle of Tongguan, Cao Hong and Ma Chao fought for more than 50 rounds before their sword skills were chaotic. Who is Ma Chao? The top five characters in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in terms of force value! Cao Hongneng and Ma Chao played 50 rounds, and the height of their martial arts was evident. Therefore, during the Battle of Shuishui Pass, if Cao Hong came out of the horse, He Would definitely be holding Hua Xiong in his hand.
So why didn't Cao Cao let Cao Hong get out of the horse? An important reason is that Cao Hong is not qualified to fight! Why? Let's look at Guan Yu's appearance as the attitude of the Yuan brothers. When he learned that Guan Yu was only a horse archer, Yuan Shu shouted angrily, "Ru deceived all the princes without a great general? Ann dares to talk nonsense! Play with me! Yuan Shao said, "If an archer goes into battle, he will be laughed at by Hua Xiong." The Yuan brothers thought that Guan Yu's position was too low, and if he went to war, he would humiliate himself.
At that time, Cao Hong did not have any official position, belonged to Cao Cao's private soldiers, and his status was lower than Guan Yu's, so naturally he was even less qualified to fight. Cao Cao knew this very well, if cao hong was forced to go to war, I was afraid that the Yuan brothers would also say ugly words, and when the time came, there would be no light on their faces, and Cao Cao would naturally not do this kind of undesirable thing, so although Cao Hong could easily get Hua Xiong, because his status was too low, Cao Cao did not send him out.
