When talking about the slave Li Zhi, Xiahou Dun was still in fear until now.

Before he could finish his speech, he saw his younger brother Xiahou Yuan still staring at the few dead soldiers behind him.

Suddenly, Xiahou Dun blushed and explained in a low voice: "Just now, this person hid in the dark of the wall and shot cold arrows, waiting for an opportunity to shoot more than 70 of my subordinates, and then tried to shoot me. Fortunately, I dodged in time and got an arrow on my leg, which was fine. If I hesitated for a moment, I might have already broken the arrow at this moment.

After he showed up, I wanted to kill him in one fell swoop. However, this man was extremely skilled in martial arts, agile and weird, and he was very powerful. The two chains in his hand were extremely powerful. Just now he killed more than a dozen of my brothers, causing me to accept 150 brothers and lose most of them, and now there are only so many people left!"

After explaining the situation on his side with difficulty, Xiahou Dun felt very guilty and felt like he had no face to meet the elders of the family. In fact, he knew very well that he was really too anxious just now, and he led the way in front and ran around the weeds, without time to take care of the family dead soldiers behind him. If he had paid a little attention, he would definitely find that the number of people behind him was decreasing sharply, and he might also find the sound of arrows flying out of the secret. Unfortunately, he had not looked back, but instead urged everyone to speed up, so that the family dead soldiers who were behind died one after another, but no one noticed them. It was not until Li Zhi shot arrows and attacked him that his tracks were exposed.

Looking back now, Xiahou Dun secretly blamed himself and regretted it.

However, things have been like this. No matter how much he regrets, the dead soldiers of the dead family will never be able to survive again.

After listening to the elder brother's story, Xiahou Yuan was secretly frightened and looked down at the arrow wound on his right leg of his elder brother Xiahou Dun, but he saw that the wound was still bleeding at this time. The blood and rain were miscible and flowed along his thighs into the grass under his feet.

Seeing the bright red blood, Xiahou Yuan no longer had the intention to blame his elder brother.

As a brother of a mother, Xiahou Yuan knew very well about the martial arts of his brother Xiahou Dun. The two brothers had similar martial arts skills, and their sizes were similar. They were both of them who had just entered the mid-level threshold of the top generals. They were already one of the few strong men in the world. However, tonight, the eldest brother was injured in Li Zhi's hands. This shows that Li Zhi was indeed very strong, and his martial arts skills were at least not inferior to those of the eldest brother. He was also a master among the top generals, and even stronger.

Thinking of this, Xiahou Yuan couldn't help feeling a little bitter in his heart. He was no longer as confident in the assassination of Li Li tonight as before. Instead, he was a little uneasy.

The eldest brother Xiahou Dun met Li Zhi, a powerful general under Li Li, so who was the burly man he met?

Before this, Xiahou Yuan fought fiercely with the giant man for more than a dozen rounds. Apart from slashing in the air with four swords, he was almost completely at a disadvantage. He was chased and beaten by the giant man, as if he could only defend himself but had no power to fight back. Until just when he met his elder brother, his hands had broken his mouth, and he was bleeding and painful, while the giant man was almost unscathed except for mud and water.

From this we can see that the strength gap between the two sides is not very large, and the martial arts and strength possessed by the burly man is above him. In this way, it means that even if the brothers Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun join forces to fight against the enemy, they are not the opponents of Li Zhi and the burly man. If this is true, does that mean that the assassination of Li Li has been defeated and it is impossible to kill Li Li?

As he quickly analyzed the situation in his mind, Xiahou Yuan reminded softly: "Brother, Li Zhi is indeed powerful, but brother should not underestimate the burly man standing beside him. This rash man is extremely skilled and extremely powerful. His body seems to be thick and slow, but in fact he is extremely agile. He had quietly followed me behind me and attacked my dead soldiers. When I discovered his whereabouts, he had already attacked and killed more than 40 people. These people were all killed by him with a knife, and they were quick and accurate, so that these people didn't even scream before the moment. He cut his neck off in a confused way and fell to the ground and died silently.

I had fought with him for more than ten rounds just now. At first, I could still attack him, but then I couldn't withstand his extremely powerful power and retreated step by step, and was completely at a disadvantage. So I could only fight and retreat. I originally planned to join forces with my elder brother to fight against this person, but I didn't expect that my elder brother would be attacked here, and this person could actually compete with Li Zhi, a slave who was long and short with Lu Bu. In this way, the situation we faced was very bad!"

Xiahou Dun nodded slightly and whispered: "Yes, with these two people in front of us, it is undoubtedly very difficult for us to kill Li Li thief. Unfortunately, in the evening, for the convenience of movement, we left all the bows and crossbows on the horse's backs on the other side of the river, so that we now have no other weapon to kill enemies except the weapons we carry in our hands!

Miaocai has always been anxious, resourceful, what should we do in this situation? Now that we have exposed our identities and sacrificed the lives of more than a hundred dead soldiers in the family. At such a heavy price, if we cannot kill Li Li, then what is the face of our brothers going back to meet the elders of the family, and how can we explain to Meng De?

Therefore, I don’t have to worry about it, and say whatever I think. As long as the method is feasible, I can eventually kill the thief Li Li. Even if all of us are dead here tonight, I will do whatever we can!”

"This,,,,,,," Seeing that his brother was so determined to kill Li Li, he was swearing to kill Li Li, and he would not give up until he achieved his goal, Xiahou Yuan couldn't help but pondered with a serious expression.

Xiahou Yuan did not doubt the authenticity of his brother Xiahou Dun's words, because he knew his brother, just as the eldest brother knew him. He knew that when his elder brother Xiahou Dun said this, he had already determined to kill Li Li even if he died. This was the strong and ruthlessness hidden in his bones by his elder brother. He was not only cruel to the enemy, but also to himself.

Thinking of Xiahou Dun's fierceness and ruthlessness in his mind, Xiahou Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly. In fact, he himself is the same as his elder brother. The two brothers are in line with each other, their hearts and tempers are quite similar, and their styles of doing things are also very similar.

The assassination of Li Li tonight has developed to this point of difficulty in riding a tiger. Not only Xiahou Dun did not expect it, but even Xiahou Yuan did not expect it. However, the matter had already happened and there was no choice but to face it.

Xiahou Yuan had just thought of stopping, completely giving up the robbery and killing Li Li, get rid of the entanglement between Li Zhi and the burly giant man as soon as possible, and return to the other side to escape on horseback. If he retreated, with himself and his elder brother, he would also have no problem rushing to the crossing bridge; no matter how fierce Li Zhi and the burly giant man were, they could not stop the rushing of so many of them. After all, they only had two people, could block ten or twenty, and could also block the joint attack of hundreds of people?

Unfortunately, Xiahou Yuan knew that his thoughts were purely wishful thinking. Not to mention that his elder brother and Li Li had a long grudge, he said that his identity had been exposed. With this section, he and others had no way out this time, otherwise he would not be able to explain to his lord Cao Cao. In addition, as of now, more than half of the dead soldiers in the Xiahou family have been killed or injured, and if they stop there, not to mention whether these dead soldiers will feel resentful because of this, they will not be able to pass the level of the elders of the family.

Because some of the dead soldiers of the Xiahou family are from the family, a large part are the sons and nephews of the Xiahou family and friends. The rest are even the servants and descendants of the family generals who have been loyal to the Xiahou family for generations. They are all trusted people who have broken bones and tendons, otherwise they would not have been selected to be among the dead soldiers of the family. Now half of these people are dead. If they cannot give an explanation to the elders and tribesmen in the clan, how can they be convinced? Who can guarantee that these old people with dead sons and nephews will continue to be loyal to the Xiahou family?

While weighing the pros and cons, Xiahou Yuan noticed from the corner of his eyes that Li Zhi and the burly giant man seemed to be in a hurry at all. The old god was waiting for him to take action first.

Seeing this, Xiahou Yuan immediately came up with a plan and had a slight silence in his heart. Since the two people in front of him were not anxious at all, it means that they were also afraid of their group and did not dare to give it a try. And the person who could make these two people feel scruples must be their lord Li Li. What does this mean?

Then Xiahou Yuan whispered to Xiahou Dun: "Brother, our purpose of this trip is to kill Li Li, to eliminate future troubles, and to kill all his followers, so as to leave no trace of the entire action. But we have not seen Li Li himself until now, but we confronted and fought with two followers under him. Isn't this going to waste the roots and confuse the end and confuse the situation.

Therefore, my foolish opinion, from now on, we will no longer be entangled with these two people, and immediately enter the house. After entering the courtyard, ten people were scattered in a team of ten people to every corner of the house, making it difficult for Li Li and others to take care of the head and tail, and then they will kill males instead of killing women and children, but instead gather women and children together. If they have no choice, they can take these women and children as hostages,,,,,,,”

"Is this useful to take women and children hostages?" Xiahou Dun suddenly interrupted.

"This,, hehehe!" Xiahou Yuan looked slightly stunned and couldn't help but smile. He suddenly remembered that his elder brother had been held hostage by Chenliu and Zhang Chao as a hostage. As a result, the lord Cao Cao ordered that the soldiers should not take into account the safety of the hostages, nor should they rescue the hostages, and directly ordered the soldiers to attack immediately. Since then, the Yanzhou army has made the rule of "not saving hostages". Since then, no one has attempted to take Cao Cao's family and relatives as hostages and coerce Cao Cao.

Thinking of this, Xiahou Yuan laughed and said in a silence: "Brother doesn't know. Although the Xiliang army is fierce and invincible, the people of Xiliang value friendship the most. Most of them have justice in their hearts and cannot bear to kill women, children and elderly people in vain. Although Li Li is a traitor in the world and kills people like a traitor, I heard that he was ecstatic when he was happy about his son a year ago. He returned home on time every day for half a year and never stayed overnight. From this, it can be seen that Li Li's conscience has not yet been lost and attaches great importance to women and children, which is completely different from his battles on the battlefield.

Therefore, if we want to kill Li Li in one fell swoop, we must use any means. As long as the method is feasible or may be useful, we must try it out. We must not be merciful and have the kindness of a woman!"

Seeing that Xiahou Dun still had a hesitation on his face, Xiahou Yuan paused a little and continued, "Brother, I saw it too. With the ultimate skills and ruthless methods of Li Zhi and the burly giant man, even if we go together, we may not be able to kill them, and we will even be killed by them in a fight. Therefore, we have to fight with them with a dignified battle, and there is almost no possibility of success. Since this is the case, we have to use extraordinary means. In the chaos, the war is endless, and people are dead everywhere in the world. In addition, what's the harm in the few people in this house!

Since ancient times, the strong are respected, and the victories are kings. As long as we can kill Li Li, the matter will naturally be decided by us. If we don’t tell us, who will know what method we will use to kill him? Moreover, this method may not be useful. Liao Shengyuwu, let’s try it out. If it works, then the more than 100 dead soldiers we died before will not die in vain. What’s the big brother’s idea?”

Xiahou Dun seemed to feel unbearable in his eyes, but he whispered: "Just as you said, let's try it out. Although the methods are not very bright, we can only do this in order to deal with Li Li. Anyway, we originally planned to kill everyone in the house, but now we are just changing our methods and making some use of these people."

Before he finished speaking, Xiahou Dun suddenly said to Xiahou Yuan with some emotion: "Miaocai, it was not until today that I knew why Meng De liked to take you to fight with the army and let me stay in the rear. Because like Meng De, you are all useless ways to achieve your goals. Compared with the generals fighting on the battlefield, you are truly cruel and ruthless people."

"Brother, you,,,,,,,,,," Xiahou Yuan's expression changed drastically, his cheeks were hot, but he was speechless. He knew that his elder brother Xiahou Dun could never let go of the incident of being kidnapped by Zhang Chao after being drunk. He did not expect that his elder brother would say so straightforwardly today, which was really beyond Xiahou Yuan's expectations.

Xiahou Dun shook his head and said, "Miaocai doesn't need to think too much. I don't mean to blame you because I don't mean to blame you. I just expressed my feelings and did not deliberately target you. Okay, don't think too much. The important thing is important. What should I do next? I will follow your instructions, just give me instructions!"

Xiahou Yuan calmed down, and after a little thought, he walked to Xiahou Dun's side and whispered in his ears.

"Okay, that's it!" After hearing this, Xiahou Dun nodded immediately and whispered to the personal soldiers behind him: "You immediately lead a hundred dead soldiers to climb over the wall into the house, and then a team of ten people arrested women and children, and no one of the males left to kill them. Go!"

At this time, Xiahou Yuan suddenly added: "Yangzhou is humid and hot in summer, so food should not be stored for a long time, so many houses have cellars for refrigerated food. If you don't see anyone after you go in, you must hide in the cellar. Be careful and be sure to pull them out for me!"
