Chapter 1177: The Pain of Losing a Friend [1]

"Pass it on!"

After Duan Yu's voice fell, four people soon walked into the hall from outside.

Among the four, there were two that Duan Yu recognized.

Jiang Xu, who had come all the way from Hanyang, and Cao Ren, Cao Cao's cousin.

Of the remaining two, one was a boy of about ten, and the other was a strong man whose physique was very close to Duan Yu's.

The strong man had withered yellow hair, a pair of pupils that were slightly yellowish, like a pair of tiger eyes, and what radiated from his body was an extremely fierce feeling.

Although it was his first time seeing this person, Duan Yu concluded at a glance that this person was absolutely a fierce general.

And he was the kind who was extremely brave.

Even Da Hei and Xiao Hei, who were lying beside Duan Yu, had their fur stand up straight after seeing this person, and low growls of threat came from their mouths.

The instincts and perceptions of animals are far stronger than those of humans.

When facing dangerous objects, they will immediately make an stress response.

But there are not many things that can make Da Hei and Xiao Hei make an stress response.

The person in front of him was one.

Duan Yu looked the person up and down, and had some guesses in his heart.

This person had two short halberds about one xun long inserted behind his back, and the muscles on his arms were so high that they almost tore through his sleeves.

Xun is a unit of length. It is recorded in the "Shuowen Jiezi · Cun Bu": "The measure of a person's arm span is two times, which is eight chi."

That is to say, one xun is equivalent to eight chi.

The units of length in the Han Dynasty were different from those of later generations.

And the names were also different.

The units of length in the Han Dynasty were cun, chi, bu, zhang, yin, and li.

Among them, one chi in the Eastern Han Dynasty was equivalent to 23.4 centimeters, and one li was only 420 meters, not the 500 meters of later generations.

This was something Duan Yu only learned later.

For example, the Book of Han records that it is nearly 20,000 li from Luoyang to Dayuan in the Western Regions. If calculated according to later generations, this distance is clearly incorrect.

One reason is that later highways and various means of transportation do not need to take detours.

But in this period, first of all, the measuring tools and weight measurements were different from later generations, and coupled with various road environments, there was such a record.

As for the short halberds behind the strong man, converted to eight chi, it is about 1.8 meters. If it were in later generations, eight chi would be about 2.5 meters long.

With such a physique and body type, coupled with the use of such weapons.

The only person Duan Yu could think of was Dian Wei.

Cao Cao was currently serving as the Inspector of Yanzhou, and Dian Wei happened to be from Chenliu, Yanzhou.

Unexpectedly, after going around in circles, this Dian Wei still ended up under Cao Cao's command.

As for the boy of about ten years old, Duan Yu did not know who he was.

"Why did Zixiao come?" Duan Yu looked at Cao Ren and asked curiously: "Aren't you with your eldest brother in Yanzhou?"

However, just as Duan Yu's voice fell.

Cao Ren knelt on the ground with a thud.

"Zixiu, this is your uncle, the Marquis of Ji, kneel down." Cao Ren, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at little Cao Ang and said.

Zixiu?

Duan Yu was stunned; wasn't this Cao Cao's eldest son?

Cao Cao had mentioned to him before that his eldest son had extraordinary talent and the demeanor of a great general.

When he said these things, Duan Yu's sons and daughters had not yet been born, and Cao Cao had shown off in front of him.

Little Cao Ang, following Cao Ren's words, knelt down beside Cao Ren.

Even Dian Wei, who was standing to the side like an iron tower, knelt on the other side of Cao Ren.

Jiang Xu, who was to the side, had a heavy expression.

Looking at the three people who suddenly knelt in front of him, Duan Yu was stunned for a moment.

Then he looked at Jiang Xu, who had a heavy expression.

It was as if he was asking Jiang Xu what was going on.

Before Duan Yu could ask, Cao Ren had already kowtowed to the ground.

"Marquis of Ji... my eldest brother... my eldest brother... has died in battle!"

Buzz!

As soon as Cao Ren's voice fell, Duan Yu felt a buzzing sound in his brain.

His body couldn't stop swaying, and his eyes also appeared briefly dull.

"You... what did you say?" Duan Yu looked at Cao Ren in disbelief: "What did you say?"

"What happened to Mengde?" ===== CHAPTER 1179 =====
