Liu Pannai is Liu Biao's nephew, who is brave and relied on by Liu Biao.

But what Liu Biao values is not Liu Pan's ability, but Liu Pan's identity as his nephew. In that year, Liu Biao rode into Jing, united with the Kuai brothers and Cai Mao to conspire, after some operations, Liu Biao won the seven counties of Jingxiang except Changsha, with 100,000 armor, in order to watch the changes in the world. However, Liu Biao is suspicious of human nature, better than sitting and talking, determined to be self-controlled, and has no ambition in all directions. Nepotism is not meritocracy, brother-in-law Cai Mao, and his son Liu Pan still have some skills, but most of the county officials are mediocre, only because they are relatives or old friends with Liu Biao, so they can gain their trust and take charge of political affairs.

For example, Huang Zhong, who has been in the army for 20 years, has excellent martial arts, has many military exploits, and Jingxiang is a soldier and has heard his name, but Liu Biao thought that he was embarrassed and useful, and in order to show his leniency, he recruited Huang Zhong as a Zhonglang general, and put it under Liu Pan to do things before he could rest assured.

Liu Pan admired Huang Zhong very much, although he had grievances for Huang Zhong, he had no choice but to pay respects to calm his heart.

That night, Huang Zhong came to resign, this sudden move made Liu Pan very surprised, he knew that Huang Zhong was quite complaining about his lack of use, but you must know that Huang Zhong has survived for more than 20 years, why did he suddenly resign today?

"Brother Hansheng, what do you mean by this?" Liu Pan exclaimed: "But I, Liu Pan, are neglecting the old general?" ”

"I have not neglected!" Huang Zhong felt a little guilty in his heart, bowed his head and saluted, gritted his teeth in reply.

"Why is that? The old general is like a mainstay to me, and now he has abandoned each other for no reason, which is really incomprehensible! Liu Pan was anxious, this Huang Zhong was nominally subordinate to himself, but he had always admired Huang Zhong very much, and everything in the army was very important to Huang Zhong.

And Huang Zhong's impression of Liu Pan is also very good, the two are also teachers and friends, so it can be said that they are old friends. A few years ago, his son Huang Xu died of illness again, Huang Zhong often looked at his graying hair in the bronze mirror and sighed alone, all thoughts were lost, he just wanted to do his best, know the destiny of heaven, and spend his old age in peace. But now that Guan Yan has jumped out, Huang Zhong also has an ancestral training similar to Jia Xu, and he must be loyal to the Linzi Guan family, and with Guan Yan's current status, he is not far away and comes to find it in person, which makes Huang Zhong ignite the fame of his youth, so Huang Zhong made up his mind so quickly.

Hearing Liu Pan's inquiry, Huang Zhong didn't lie to Liu Pan, and said directly: "Therefore, the Lord is calling, and I have to listen to it!" ”

"The Lord?" Liu Pan narrowed his eyes, he has a good relationship with Huang Zhong, but if there is chaos today, there are enemies and friends, and it is difficult to distinguish between right and wrong; If Huang Zhong defects to the enemy, such as Sun Jian, who has been gearing up for Jingzhou recently, then I'm afraid Liu Pan still has to plan for Liu Biao, Huang Zhong's ability He knows that if it is a match, it must not be an opponent. ”

"Dongxiang Hou Guan Yan!" Huang Zhong told the truth.

"Guan Yan?!" Liu Pan was even more confused: You Huang Zhong live in Nanyang, Guan Yan is a person from Qingzhou, and I have never heard of any intersection with you Huang Zhong, and now I am anti-voting to Guan Yan, is it not for fame? Liu Pan shook his head, and denied this idea in his heart, if it was for fame, Huang Zhong would not need to be unknown in Jingzhou for twenty years, hey, it is difficult to kick, it is difficult to guess!

Guan Yan currently has a lot of friction with Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, and Cao Cao, and his reputation is outside, according to Liu Biao's words, Guan Yan can be the barrier in the north of Jingzhou, and now Huang Zhong goes to Guan Yan, which is not a bad thing for Jingzhou, and now Sun Jian is entrenched in Changsha, but the soldiers are only thousands, not to mention the seven counties of Jingzhou, even if he himself is the strength of this Youxian County, Sun Jian will not easily break through. After careful planning, Huang Zhong's departure is also insignificant.

It is irrelevant to the itch, but this is always a thorn in Liu Pan's thorn.

Liu Pan was full of worries in his heart, with his understanding of Huang Zhong, Huang Zhong had to go. Kill it to the end? Or is it a long-term plan? Liu Pan rubbed his face vigorously with both hands, after all, he was good at leading troops in war, and this matter was really not something he could think about clearly.

If you don't think about it, you won't think about it! Anyway, Huang Zhong is leaving, he is harmless to himself at present, and it is not beneficial to the enemy, thinking of this, Liu Pan slapped the table: "Okay, the old general has made up his mind, I will not force it." ”

Saying that, Liu Pan took out a small cloth bag from the box behind him, and presented it to Huang Zhong with both hands: "These ten taels of gold are made by the old general on behalf of the old general, the old general must not refuse, if there is a fate in the future, we will work together to kill the enemy!" ”

Huang Zhong thought he was a man of temperament, and when he saw Liu Pan treating him like this, he was quite moved in his heart: "The general's grace, Zhong should remember it from the bottom of his heart and say goodbye!" ”

If Liu Pan knew that it was because of today's righteous deeds that he had brought a bright future to the future, he would probably be glad to have done it today.

Of course, this is a later story, saying that after Huang Zhong said goodbye to Liu Pan, he rushed straight to Shili Pavilion in the north of the city according to the agreement, and Guan Yan and his party were indeed waiting here early.

"Hahaha, General Huang won't break his promise!" Guan Yan saw that Huang Zhong dared to come alone, and he was overjoyed and took the lead to meet him.

When Huang Zhong saw Guan Yan coming, he hurriedly turned over and dismounted: "See the lord!" ”

"No need to be polite!" Guan Yan pulled Huang Zhong to Shili Pavilion, pointed to some food on the table and said: "In order to ask General Huang for help, I am a secret to Youxian County on this trip, let's eat some at will and rush back overnight, and on the day of Luoyang, Yan will hold a banquet for General Huang again!" ”

Huang Zhong was not polite when he heard this, he had been in the military for many years, and he knew the hardships of this overnight march, so he sat down to eat and drink after answering.

After meeting for only half a day, it was subordinate, even with Huang Zhong's experience, he still felt a little embarrassed, and while eating and drinking, Huang Zhong looked for a topic and wanted to relieve his embarrassment.

"Such a big event happened in Luoyang, and the lord acted resolutely, and the last general really admired it!"

"What's the big deal?" Guan Yan asked.

It's okay not to mention it, this mention actually seems to be something that Guan Yan doesn't know, Huang Zhong couldn't help but stop eating and drinking, waiting to look at Guan Yan with his eyes: "Yesterday, there was news that Yuan Kui and Wang Yun rebelled in Luoyang six days ago, and hundreds of Jujia soldiers besieged the main mansion, and later Yuan Kui and others were razed to three groups, and the lord's mansion was ......."

Huang Zhong stopped as he spoke, because he saw Guan Yan standing up slowly, and his surprised eyes clearly told Huang Zhong: I don't know!

Guan Yan didn't say a word, quickly ran out of the pavilion, immediately turned over his horse, and galloped with his whip. Dian Wei, Huang Zhong and the guards also reacted quickly and rode their horses to follow.

The sudden sound of horses' hooves startled the sparrows in a row of big trees beside the road, chirping, circling and wandering, and when the sound of horses' hooves was gone, they fell one after another, blending into the trees again, and the night was calm again.
