In the history of the Three Kingdoms, there are many memorable stories and events. The scene of Huang Zhong killing Xiahou Yuan was undoubtedly the most shocking.
The great war between Shu Han and Cao Wei was raging. Both sides are trying their best to fight for the land of Jingzhou. In one battle, Xiahou Yuan led Cao's army to reinforcements. Dressed in heavy armor and armed with a spear, he stood majestically in front of the formation, causing the Shu Han soldiers to be terrified.
At this moment, Huang Zhong stepped forward, his sword blade was like lightning, and with a single swing, he cut off Xiahou Yuan's head. This feat shook the audience. The soldiers in Cao's camp were discolored, while the Shu Han army cheered and their morale soared.
The news soon reached Cao Cao. It is said that when he heard the news that Xiahou Yuan was beheaded, Cao Cao was shocked and couldn't help but scold: "That old guy dares to be so rude!" Then he turned to Liu Bei beside him and said, "I didn't expect that Xiahou Yuan would die in the hands of such a person." ”
Liu Bei was also very surprised when he heard this, but he didn't vent his emotions directly like Cao Cao. On the contrary, he pretended to be calm in front of everyone, and said: "Although Xiahou Yuan is brave and good at fighting, after all, he is old, and it is understandable that he will be defeated under him. These words made everyone look at him with admiration, thinking that he was a thoughtful person who knew how to hide his emotions.
In contrast, Guan Yu's performance is more prominent. When he heard the news of Xiahou Yuan's killing, he immediately rode to the battlefield, wanting to kill Huang Zhong with his own hands to avenge his friend. Although it was not realized later for some reasons, this spirit of righteousness is still very moving.
Huang Zhong's beheading of Xiahou Yuan had a major impact on the situation at that time. It not only greatly boosted the confidence of the Shu Han army, but also made the enemy feel a great panic. This operation also gave people a deeper knowledge and understanding of these famous generals, making them more real and vivid.
