Section 13 Huang Zhong

"I don't know who it is?"

"It's the Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng you mentioned last time." Cao Cao thought for a while, "He turned out to be the General of the Central Army. He followed Liu Biao's nephew Liu Pan to You County in Changsha. Liu Pan ran to Liu Qi. He took his personal soldiers to Xiangyang to report his duties. I promoted him to General of the General of the Army. Seeing that he looked very good and mature and steady, Zhongkang tried several times with him and said that his martial arts skills were also excellent. You just shortage of people in your place and valued him, so I arranged it for you. Wei Wenchang will be his deputy, and promoted him to the lieutenant, so it's also good to match Huang Zhong."

"Thank you, father." Cao Chong was overjoyed when he heard it was Huang Zhong and hurriedly thanked him again. This time it was much louder than the time just now.

"Well, you go and clean up and set off immediately." Cao Cao smiled and looked at him, and asked again: "Will you bring Cai with me this time?"

"If you don't bring him, you can just have the Mi sisters accompany you. It's useless to go too much. Besides, the military is hard, and it's not something that their women can afford." Cao Chong smiled, and said a few more gossips to Cao Cao, before saying goodbye. The Prime Minister and Qiao took him to Xu Qian's Wuwei Camp to lead the people.

He Qiao is over 40 years old, with a long round face and slender eyes very vivid. He looked at the brocade style on Cao Chong's body and smiled, "Young Master, is this brocade style comfortable to wear?"

"It's okay, it's very well dressed." Cao Chong didn't take it seriously either. He was already attracted by Huang Zhong. He didn't want to say anything to He Qi. But since He Qi opened his mouth, he couldn't ignore it, so he could only respond with a smile. This brocade clothes were prepared by Cai Ji for him. He was the kind of standard idle person who opened his mouth for food, did not ask for fineness and thickness, just tasted good, and did not ask for the lowly or the noble as long as it was comfortable. He didn't care much about this clothes. Cai Ji was clever and saw that Cao Chong's original clothes were too simple, and always felt that they didn't fit his identity, so he cut and sewed a few clothes for him.

"But the young master can only wear these in Xiangyang. You have to change them when you arrive in Yecheng, right?" He Qiaxiao said.

"Why?" Cao Chong was a little puzzled. He looked back and smiled and suddenly understood. Cui Yan and Mao Jie were there in Yecheng. Both of them were important positions for selecting officials. They both advocated frugality and chose those who were dressed more simply. Therefore, officials inside and outside the government did not dare to wear good clothes, and they had to change into old clothes when they went to the government to do business. Some even wore to wear torn clothes to please them. They didn't dare to use good horses and carts. If they really couldn't find a broken cart, they walked, because they were afraid of leaving them with bad impressions. Zhang Liao and the others were like this. Only when they left Yecheng, they would take out the good clothes to wear. This was the case for the generals who led the troops, let alone those officials in the palace.

"I don't look at people's faces when I wear clothes, I'll be comfortable wearing it myself." Cao Chong smiled meaningfully and shook the sleeves of the brocade clothes: "Your Majesty rewards my cavalry lieutenant salary to support a few people. It's okay to wear a few brocade clothes, so there is no need to change it."

He Qia also smiled. He didn't say anything, but just glanced at Cao Chong with approval, and turned the topic elsewhere.

Cao Chong led a hundred people out of Wuwei Camp and said goodbye to Heqia. When he entered Xiangyang City, he saw three hundred soldiers standing up on the street outside the mansion gate. Although they were on the sheath and shields on their backs, they were only wearing simple leather armor. Some of them did not even have armor and were only wearing robes and were not tall enough. They were half a head shorter than the tiger soldiers following Cao Chong, but the three hundred people stood neatly and stood there silently. The quietness immediately made people feel that their spirit was different. No wonder the soldiers standing guard at the mansion gate were a little nervous and cautious. In front of the three hundred people, a middle-aged general who was about seven feet or eight inches tall and strong in shape was talking to Wei Yan.

"Young Master." Wei Yan heard the footsteps and saw Cao Chong coming back, he hurriedly pulled the middle-aged general to greet him and introduced: "Young Master, this is Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng I mentioned to you. I have been waiting for you here for half an hour."

"I'll have to wait for a long time." Cao Chong suppressed his excitement and bowed politely, looking up and down at the figure among the Five Tiger Generals.

"Where is, you are polite, Master." Huang Zhong was stunned for a moment, turned over and bowed: "General Xingli Huang Zhong, pays homage to the young master." With his bowed, more than 300 people behind him also bowed: "Whomage to the young master."

Damn, that's all. Cao Chong was surprised, looked at the guards in the distance who were also shocked, and smiled and stepped forward to help Huang Zhong up. This was the second Five Tiger General who fell to him, but the first one who fell to him sincerely. Ma Chao was the first, but it was not sincere. He just killed someone at the top of his official position. Guan Yu hadn't seen the other three, and he thought he wouldn't be in front of him. Zhang Fei looked at him from afar, but formed a gang. Not to mention Zhao Yun, one of them almost sent him back to his hometown.

Why is it so difficult to collect someone by yourself?

It's not easy, finally the Five Tiger Generals worshipped in front of him. Cao Chong looked at Huang Zhong happily, turned around and smiled at Wei Yan, "Wen Chang, congratulations on becoming the General of the Central Army, and will be General Huang's deputy from the future. Please protect me, a boy."

"Young master." Huang Zhong smiled modestly. He still couldn't figure out why he, a surrendered general, was not only promoted to the post, but also immediately became the captain of the guards of the prime minister's beloved son. Although his general was a bit inconsistent with the name, and Wei Yan's more than 100 talents of 400 people were far from the standard that a general should have, he had a different identity by guarding Cao Chong. You must know that Xu Jun, the leader of the Wuwei Camp next to Cao Cao, was a lieutenant, but he was a general, taller than Xu Jun, which was surprisingly more confused.

"General of the Central Army? No, no, what are you saying?" Wei Yan looked at Cao Chong with some confusion.

"What's wrong with me?" Xu Yi grabbed him, "The Prime Minister has been promoted to your official position. You are happy to jump from the commander to the General of the Central Army?"

Dian Man smiled and stuffed the appointment letter in his hand into Wei Yan's hand, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Look carefully, hide it well, and then hurry back and prepare wine and food. First, I want to welcome General Huang, and second, I can tell you that Shuquan and Ziwen and others said they were coming to beat your Qiufeng."

Wei Yan looked at the appointment letter in his hand carefully twice. He just opened his mouth and laughed, but felt that it was not in line with the style of being a low-key person taught by the young master. He quickly swallowed the laughter and replied repeatedly: "No problem, no problem, I will definitely ask."

"Don't pay attention to them." Cao Chong pulled Huang Zhong away: "Let's go and see Mrs. Huang and Shengyan. They should be in the mansion." He turned to the excited Wei Yan and said: "Don't just be happy, take good care of General Huang's people, and prepare for another thing, eat and drink enough today, have a good rest for a night, and set off tomorrow morning."

"No!" Wei Yan responded loudly, looking at Cao Chong, who was startled by his loud voice, and then touched his helmet and smiled.

Huang Xu was lying comfortably in Cao Chong's study, eating snacks and reading books. He laughed from time to time, but he didn't notice Cao Chong and Huang Zhong coming in. Huang Zhong stood at the door, looking at his son's happy smile with a rosy face. He was grateful for it for no reason. He stretched out his hand and wanted to scream, but he didn't know what to say. He looked back at Cao Chong with a little embarrassed look. Cao Chong smiled and said, "Is General Huang also timid when he meets his father and son?"

"I..." Huang Zhong chuckled lightly, and just as he was about to speak, he heard someone shouting behind him: "Husband--" He turned around and saw his wife holding a needle and thread basket in her hand, looking at him in surprise, and even forgot about Cao Chong next to her.

Cao Chong smiled slightly and quietly retreated, waved his hand, allowing Dian Man and the others to retreat. He went around to Mrs. Bian and saw Mrs. Cai and several wives from the official family playing the playing cards he invented. He looked for a while, said a few words before retreating. Cai Ji followed him out, took a hair off his shoulder and smiled, "Is it because of this happy general Huang you are talking about?"

"How do you know?" Cao Chong asked in surprise.

"You are so happy that the Huang sister-in-law has been there for a long time but has not come back. It is only General Huang who has come. When the couple meets you, they drive you out of the study." Cai Ji pouted and said angrily: "I have seen someone who likes his servants, but I have never seen someone who likes you so much. Do you still look like an official?"

"Hehe, are they a family? If I go out and come back, don't you have to have a lot to say," Cao Chong teased.

"I know you are kind-hearted, but everything has its limits. If it gets too hot, the servants will not take you seriously. It will be bad at that time." Cai Ji walked to the yard, looked inside, then covered his mouth and retracted his head and sneered, "I cried like a ball."

"Men don't cry easily, but they are not sad." Cao Chong smiled. He thought to himself. Huang Zhong should be fine now. It is right and wise to bring Huang Xu and his son to Xiangyang. However, Cai Ji was right. He had a degree in everything and made his generals arrogant because of favor. Especially these soldiers, they must be given a stick and gave him a Hu Luobu, otherwise it would be difficult to control.

After recounting the family matters, Huang Zhong retreated with red eyes. He bowed to Cao Chong with gratitude: "Thank you, young master, the dog is in good health now, and the guilt in my heart is lighter. I am so grateful to Mrs. Meng to take care of Zhujing."

Seeing that he called him his wife, Cai Ji blushed and glanced at Cao Chong. Seeing that Cao Chong had no reaction, he was slightly disappointed. He said a few words to Huang Zhong and went into the yard by himself. Cao Chong and Huang Zhong left the mansion and asked Wei Yan to take him out of the city to settle the three hundred people in the temporary camp arranged for him. Seeing Huang Zhong and Wei Yan walking far away, Cao Chong turned his head and said to Xu Yi, "Zheng Li, how powerful do you think these three hundred people are?"

Xu Yi looked at the backs of the three hundred people, smacked her lips and said, "I can take ten tiger soldiers to thirty people, and fifty people to 100 people, but if it is three hundred people, if it is three hundred people, I will be afraid that the chance of winning is at most 50%.

Cao Chong looked at Dianman again, and Dianman nodded: "Young Master, this Huang Hansheng is not only capable of training troops, but his personal bravery is probably not inferior to us. One-on-one, I am not sure. Perhaps only the Martial Commander and Master Deng in the army can beat him."
