Chapter 32 Capture and surrender Huang Zhong

Huang Zhong snorted coldly, and stopped talking. He wanted to urge the horse to rush down and fight with me. At this time, the two of me were on the slope of the hill. Huang Zhong was on the top and I was down. If Huang Zhong wanted to kill me, he had to dive straight down. I was about to circle the horse and stagger Huang Zhong's attack, and then stab him from the side.

Suddenly, Huang Zhong's war horse staggered while running, and knelt down on his front hooves and threw Huang Zhong straight down on the horse. I saw that the situation was about to turn over, picked Huang Zhong's helmet, and then put the tip on Huang Zhong's throat.

I said, "It's over here, why bother to fight for the veteran general?"

Huang Zhong's hair was scattered, his eyes closed, he sighed to the sky, and said, "Brother Pan, although I have the will to kill the enemy, I am powerless to return to heaven. I can only repay your kindness in the next life!"

After saying that, I thrust my neck and wanted to hit the tip of the penis and committed suicide. I was not prepared for it, so I hurriedly tried to pull back the penis. Finally, I stopped the penis, but almost fell off my horse. I didn't expect that my temperament was so loyal. It seemed that I would have to think about it if I wanted to surrender Huang Zhong.

I got off the horse and said, "If the old general wants to die, why should I do this? Although you and I are enemies, I also accept the loyalty and righteousness of the old general. I am just a general's reputation. Even if I die, I have to take a bath and change my clothes and worship my ancestors before I can do it. Isn't this much better than the dirty way of death now?"

I read Huang Zhong's words and deeds and knew that his ambition was closed. If I promised it with the idea of ​​a high official and generous salary, I would be stronger in Huang Zhong's determination to repay his death. The ancients admired ancestors and shined their ancestors with the glory and did not defile the name of their ancestors. Now I would use the etiquette of the ancestors to tell him, which may allow him to temporarily dispel his determination to die.

Huang Zhong listened to my words and remained silent for a long time. I knew that he was moved, so he hurriedly put away his long scepter and ordered the soldiers to lead a horse to Huang Zhong's seat. In the just one round of shock, Huang Zhong's war horse was unable to bear the collision and had already twisted his neck and fell to death.

After a night of fighting, our army was no longer like that. Gan Ning, Liu Ye, and Li Tongzhu will join forces and lead the army into You County to rest.

Accompanied by Li Tong, Huang Zhong and I arrived at Liu Pan's mansion, which was temporarily changed to a residence for Xiu Xie. This was my first time here, but Huang Zhong was quite familiar with him. After entering the mansion, Huang Zhong went straight into the side room. It seemed that it was a place where he often stayed.

After the fierce battle, I was exhausted, but I still couldn't stop. Liu Ye and Li Tong were still waiting for me to handle military affairs. While I ordered the soldiers to keep in mind, I asked Li Tong about the situation of yesterday's battle.

It turned out that Li Tong led his troops to lie in the dense forest outside the city last night. At first, he saw the east gate open wide. A group of people came out in the dark, with more than 2,000 people faintly. Half an hour later, our army camp started torches, and there were sounds of killing. In the second half of the night, a torch suddenly lit up at the head of You County, and another army rushed out of the city gate and rushed to the place where the shouting for killing was rescued.

Seeing that the troops were coming out in the city, Li Tong couldn't see who was the one who led the troops, but the situation was the same as expected. He gave an order and led his soldiers to pretend to be defeated soldiers, tricked the city gate, killed the few defenders, and occupied You County.

I already know what happened next, and it's up to you.

I settled down for the soldiers entering the city. It was almost evening. I hurried into the mansion and finished changing clothes. Then I remembered that I had seen Huang Zhong in the last half day and hurried out to visit Huang Zhong.

When he walked into the courtyard, he saw a few plum trees standing there before, with a tall figure and standing with his hands behind his back. It was Huang Zhong. He looked at the wintersweet blooming in the courtyard, as if he was thinking nothing. Now, every brick, every tile, every grass and every tree in Liu Pan's residence will evoke Huang Zhong's memory.

I walked to Huang Zhong and smiled bitterly: "I have prepared the incense table for worship. What does the old general need? Even if you say bluntly, I will do it as I will!"

Huang Zhong had a expressionless face and replied mutely: "Thank you!" After that, he walked towards the main hall.

I followed into the house and saw Huang Zhong rolling up his sleeves and picking up sandalwood, lit it and holding it in his hands, with his tiger eyes in his eyes and kneeling down on both knees.

I advised: "The general can hear that good birds choose trees to live on, and good ministers choose masters to be appropriate!"

Huang Zhong looked peaceful and looked calm, and said loudly: "You are going to win by tricks. This is a real man who will not do anything. This time I will save my friend and make a fuss for the sake of the people. People in the world will respect him. Even if you have different bodies and heads, why are you afraid? It is useless to say too much!"

Seeing that Huang Zhong was still obsessed with it, I said angrily: "If the old general insists on raising his neck, it will be easy, so I can stretch my neck. I am a pity that the Han Dynasty is in danger and the people are displaced. As a grand man, the old general is a seven-foot man with martial arts. However, he only knows how to abandon the great righteousness and make small profits in the name of loyalty and righteousness, but he does not know the family, country and the world. What is there to be worth showing off?"

When Huang Zhong heard the words, he stood up and stared at me with his eyes, and shouted angrily: "You are attacking me with your troops. I will lead the order of Liu Envoy to conquer him. This is an act of protecting the county and safeguarding the people. What is wrong with it?"

I said, "The world is the world of the people. What do you and me? You can give the people benefits and make the people healthy? That is, a wise king. I led the king to raise an army with a poor and humble body in civilian clothes and humble bodies, and this is why. Now that we are coming to the west, we are trying to save the people from water and fire, and to restore the people to a peaceful and prosperous era. What's wrong with it? And now there are great chaos and the princes are fighting for hegemony. This is the emergence of heroes. Just when we are rising up, Liu Biao does not value the courage of the general, which leads the general to condemn Jingnan and other places. Why is this worthy? Is the general willing to be unknown for a lifetime?"

After hearing what I said, the anger on Huang Zhong's face gradually calmed down. I knew that my words had touched the pain in his heart. If he could further move his emotions and understand them for profit, he might be able to touch Huang Zhong's heart.

I said again: "Liu Jingsheng was a relative of the royal family. In the first year of Chuping, he received help from Cai and Kuai Xiangyang clans. He entered Yicheng with horses and wine to pacify Su Dai and Beiyu rebelled. Later, he occupied Jiangling in the south and defended Xiangyang in the north. The eight counties of Jingzhou issued an edict. This was indeed a powerful move and a leader's ability. However, from this, Liu Jingsheng always put the children of aristocratic families as the most important, and the poor people as the least. Following his tent, although the people from the army were wearing armor and blood, and bravely became the first, they were still not used. This was a problem for Jingzhou. Zhang Xian led the people of Changsha, Guiyang and Lingling to establish themselves. Although it was due to personal grudges, it was also inseparable from Liu Jingsheng's method of employing people. The old general had been under Liu Biao's account for many years and had made many military achievements, but he was just a position of a partial general. This can be proof."

My words were like a drumstick that shook Huang Zhong's heart, and his expression also flashed with the ups and downs of the tone between my words. In his heart, the original firm belief in seeking death was shaken. In life, geese leave a name by passing by. No matter who it is, he hopes to leave a trace of his own in his short life, and so is Huang Zhong.

What's more, he is nearly fifty years old now, and if he stays under Liu Biao's account and listens to it, he can only be one, that is, he will be an unknown low-level general until he dies of old age.

Huang Zhong stood up, looked at the spiritual position of his ancestors on the incense table, and said nothing for a long time.

Seeing that Huang Zhongxin was moved, I continued, "If the old general insists on going to die, I will not force him to stop him. However, after the general dies, I don't know where the women, children and young children who stay in Changsha will go. Who will rely on to raise him in the future? Can the general make arrangements?"

After saying that, I turned around and wanted to leave.

When Huang Zhong was hesitating, my last few words were to comfort Huang Zhong with family affection. I believe that he would not be indifferent after hearing this. No matter what Huang Zhong would think or what decision he made, for me, I have finished what I should say, and I have done everything I should do.

Then, I can only wait.

As I stepped out of the room, I heard Huang Zhong sigh and said, "Well, the infamy will be praised by future generations. Huang Zhong will surrender now!"

I was overjoyed and quickly turned around, held Huang Zhong's arms and said, "The old general is serious?"

Huang Zhong said: "How can a real man speak nonsense when he speaks with one word?"

"Now I have received the help of Han Sheng, just like Emperor Gaozu of the past, I have received Han Xin. Someone will have a banquet for me. I will drink with the old general tonight!" I jumped out of the door with joy and hurriedly ordered my guards to prepare a banquet.

Zhou Bing heard my call and flashed out of the door, saying, "The banquet has been arranged long ago. The lord can drink all the time with General Huang. If there is any inadequate amount, the lord will give me instructions and I will go and buy it." I didn't expect that Zhou Bing would do such a quick job and had already arranged the banquet. It seems that I have promoted him to me and chose the right person.

After the battle, the three armies were exhausted. On the one hand, I sent someone to Zhangxian in Changsha to report the situation of the war, and on the other hand, I urgently ordered the three thousand mountain soldiers who were still stuck in Luling to set off for assistance. Although Youxian won this battle, it was extremely hard. If I want to make a difference in Jingnan, my mere four or five thousand soldiers might not be enough, and it would be inevitable that the increase of troops would be increased.

Our army had a rest in You County. At this time, the scout came to report that Princess Musa from Luling's army led 3,000 elite soldiers from the headquarters. This time, the commander of the Shanyue tribe originally designated Fei Zhan from the Old City Department. After experiencing battle formations, he would strive to be the first in every fierce battle. He was considered a brave general, but now somehow he had Musa led his troops to aid.

Before I could think about it, I quickly dressed up and came out of the city. From a distance, I saw a female general who was the first to be on the horse, and was thriving on her horse. It was Musha. She was wearing a phoenix crown and a strong armor, riding a snow-white war horse, and was approaching me in a blink of an eye.

After I got married in Luling, I have never met Musa for nearly February except for meeting him during the Chinese New Year.

If you don’t think about it, that’s a panic.

If you say that you are worried about it all the time, that's a panic.

At the moment when Musa flew into my arms, when she bit out blood marks on my neck with her teeth, I knew that no matter who I loved deeply, Musa had made a deep mark in her own way.

The love network is boundless and boundless, and it is not related to the wind and moon in the sky.

In fact, how can you tell whether you love or not?

I can't escape.

Can't get out of it, the shackles of the word love.

Maybe I'm already addicted to it and don't want to break free.

When I woke up, there were thousands of soldiers around me waiting to watch the show, it was too late. What I looked up and saw was nothing except Liu Ye's leisurely expression.

On the second day after Musha reinforcements arrived in You County, I received another urgent document from Changsha Prefect Zhang Xian. Wen Pin heard that You County had fallen, so he asked Kuai Liang, who was in Jiangling for help. As a result, Kuai Liang mobilized 20,000 naval troops from Jiangling to head south along Dongting Lake and advanced to Changsha. After receiving reinforcements, Wen Pin made a desperate bet and attacked Changsha with nearly 50,000 elite troops, hoping to conquer Changsha before our army arrived, in order to win a decisive battle, disintegrate the fighting spirit of the defenders, and to pacify Jingnan's attempt.

The situation is critical. Changsha is always an important town in Jingnan. The people in Yin are rich and have a large population. If Zhang Xian does not support Changsha, the Wenpeng army can be based on Changsha, transport grain and grass, recruit troops, and then attack Guiyang and Lingling in the south, and cut off the channels for the exchanges between the counties. In this way, the situation in Jingnan has been controlled by Liu Biao, which is not what I wish.

Only when Jingnan is in a row, our army will have an opportunity to take advantage of it. I cannot ignore Zhang Xian’s emergency.

But if you go to Changsha City like this, you will inevitably fall into a protracted war that consumes soldiers and financial resources. Even if you defeat Wen Pin, you will be hurt by yourself. This result is what Zhang Xian expects, but it is not the goal I seek.

Moreover, if our army stayed in Jingnan for a long time and the garrison of Yuzhang is empty, if Sun Ce, Yuan Shu and other family are free to attack our Yuzhang backyard, I will be helpless and I will regret it.

Therefore, in the battle of Jingnan, you must win by fighting quickly. You cannot defeat a powerful enemy without a strange plan.

From Jiangling to Changsha, Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue deployed heavy troops along the road, and there were brave generals like Wenpin under Changsha City. If they went to Changsha to meet Zhang Xian according to common sense, the war would last long and the victory would be as fast as looking at the moon in the water, but they would be hard to come by.

Although Kuai Yidu was a literati, his military use was very safe and he was not leaking. It was not easy for me to defeat the enemy.

It seems that only by mobilizing Liu Biao's army's forces can he reveal his flaws.

I stared at the hand-drawn mountain map, and after a while, I finally made up my mind.

When the snow is just beginning to clear, it is still cold and warm, the weather in Jingnan is like the late blooming plum blossoms, with cloudy and sunnyness.

On February 28, the second year of Jian'an, I ordered Liu Ye to lead 500 soldiers to attack our flag, pretend to be reinforcements, and erected his drum to advance towards Changsha to confuse the article.

On the first day of March, I led the main force with Gan Ning, Huang Zhong, Musha, and Li Tong to cross the Xiang River westward, cross Xiangtan, and then crossed the towering mountains to take Wuling a hundred miles away.
