Chapter 618: Huang Xu's Return to Linxiang City (continued)
Seeing Huang Xu like this, Huang Zhong knew that his son really didn't know what else he had to do. But it's no wonder that he, the general who defended the city for the first time, can expect anything from him.
As a result, at this time, I heard Huang Xu say: "General, the last general is stupid, and I hope the general will speak clearly!" ”
Huang Xu means that if I have any mistakes or mistakes, you can say them all. When Huang Zhong heard this, he could only sigh in his heart, "In fact, there are two places, but you don't think about it, if I come to defend the city, at least as you said before, the Yanzhou army and the Jiangdong army are under the city of Xiangnan, but why is it that in the end, the Yanzhou army attacked alone, but the Jiangdong army did not move, I don't know if you can consider what the reason is?" ”
Huang Zhong had heard Huang Xu mention it before, and Huang Xu didn't say much, so Huang Zhong naturally thought that his son really didn't pay attention to this issue. As the commander of a city, you can't guess what the other party means, but you can't ignore such a question, after all, is this a trivial matter, Huang Zhong's experience tells him, this is not a trivial matter-
But his son directly ignored it, and didn't pay enough attention to it, just by virtue of this, Huang Zhong thought that he was not qualified. At least he knew that if it was someone else guarding the city, he would definitely not ignore this problem. Yes, it's true that not everyone can figure this out, but that doesn't mean that no one will pay attention to it.
As a result, when Huang Xu heard it, he said in his heart that sure enough, this was his own mistake. Although I did see it before. But it is true that I didn't pay enough attention to it and ignored it directly. This......
Huang Xu At this moment, he could only say. to admit his mistake, so he said: "This is indeed a lack of consideration and not enough attention at the end of the day!" ”
Huang Zhong nodded, at least his son is still modest, this is okay. Then he said again: "Second, if I defend the city, then even if I lose to the other party in the end, I must burn all the grain and grass in the city in the end!" ”
After finishing speaking, Huang Zhong sighed in his heart. It's not like he didn't tell his son about this, but apparently he forgot-
Or to be more precise, Huang Xu thought about running away at the time, so he simply ran to the back of his mind. If it were Huang Zhong, it would definitely not be like this. When you run away, you take food and grass with you, which is also limited, needless to say. But there is a lot of grain and grass, so this time. It must not be an enemy. Therefore, if it was Huang Zhong's words, he would rather let the die-hard soldiers take a little place and set fire to the grain and grass. It is also impossible to leave much for the enemy army.
But Huang Xu didn't have enough experience, and he really forgot about it at the time, so this matter. He really didn't. Therefore, Huang Zhong treated his son like this. He was very dissatisfied, and it was all written on his face at this time.
At this time, I saw that Huang Xu was looking guilty. Others may not know this, but as Huang Zhong's son, can he still not know. Yes, my father really didn't help me much, yes, but although there are not too many soldiers in Shonan, the grain and grass are indeed very sufficient. At least 2,000 people eat for a month, and that's no problem at all. But in the end, he let himself be the enemy, which is really unforgivable! ――
At this time, Huang Xu knew about his two mistakes, so he simply said to his father: "General, the last general knows his mistake!" ”
This Huang Xu really admitted that he was wrong, and Huang Zhong sighed in his heart, his son is actually okay, but he knows that he is wrong, that is wrong, and he will not explain anything too much. Anyway, no matter what, in the end, it can't change the previous result, which is the same as yourself, if you don't find too many excuses, it can be regarded as "there is a father, there must be a son". But Huang Zhong also thought about it, how could he not look like himself in other good aspects, but there were bad things like him.
But at this time, he said: "Huang Xu, since you know where your mistake is, then you know even more that our army has always had clear rewards and punishments, so this time, because of your carelessness, you will directly lead to the loss of Xiangnan City, and you will not have the right to dispose of you for the time being. ”
"No!" ――
Although Huang Zhong is a good general in Changsha, it is no problem that he can send Huang Xu to garrison southern Hunan, but if he really wants to punish Huang Xu, it has to be Ma Chao himself who says that this is better. It's not that Huang Zhong has no power at all and can't punish Huang Xu, but obviously, Ma Chao is better off handling this matter. Of course, if it is a march and a war at this time, and Huang Zhong is the commander of the first army, then such a matter will naturally be handled by him with full authority, which is nothing to say, but isn't it different at this time.
Therefore, Huang Zhong knew very well in his heart that it was better to let his lord deal with his own son than to dispose of his own son. So he said to Huang Xu at this time: "Huang Xu, now you and Ben will be stationed in Linxiang together, first wear the guilt and make meritorious contributions, as for other things, take Ben General to show the lord, and then you will know!" ”
This is actually similar to the previous words, but Huang Zhong told Huang Xu to let him follow him at this time. And of course I have to ask my lord for the guilt, after all, this Shonan is lost, and it can be said that it has nothing to do with himself. Just because I know that Huang Xu can't do it, but I still want to use him, so can I explain anything, I should ask for sin-
After all, for Huang Zhong, this matter is not unforeseeable, he knows it. Send your own son, and in the end the city may soon be lost. But he had to do it for more good. So he thinks it's worth it.
Therefore, Huang Zhong wrote a letter by himself and asked the soldiers to take it directly to Jiangling. He has okay information here, at least he knows where his lord is now, so of course he can find it.
In the letter, Huang Zhong made it clear and told Ma Chao all his thoughts, but he also said that he was a father. It is indeed understandable to do this, but he is not only a father, but also the chief general of Changsha, so his son's fault, as a father, has to bear half of it. He knew that he couldn't do it, and he deliberately let Huang Xu defend the city. For such a point, the lord has to punish himself.
This is the general meaning of Huang Zhong's letter, in his opinion, this is a clear reward and punishment. After his lord understands the situation, he will naturally make a decision. And what I have to do now is naturally to guard the city. Hold Changsha! ――
At this time, Ma Chao had already met with the people from Si Lilai. Of course. The men and horses of this division did not come by themselves. There are also people who led and brought these people to Jiangling, who was the person handpicked by Ma Chao, and he was also the one who took refuge in him very early, Hu Zhen.
To say that this can be regarded as Ma Chao's use of a person who is not very important now, although Hu Zhen is a good one who took refuge in himself very early, but he has never used him much. was in Liangzhou before, and then went to Sili, and now Ma Chao asked his people to bring troops over, but it took a lot of effort, and they all came by detour, and then they arrived in Jiangling.
After Hu Zhen saw Ma Chao and the others, he followed closely to give Ma Chao a salute, "My subordinates have seen the lord!" ”
Ma Chao smiled and nodded, "General Hu has worked hard!" ”
"It is the duty of subordinates to do things for the Lord! This time, my subordinates brought our soldiers in the division, a total of 50,000 people! ”
Ma Chao said: "Good, very good! General Hu go down and rest, what's the matter, let's talk about it tomorrow! ”
"No!" ――
Of course, Hu Zhen will not disobey his lord's orders, and he is indeed a little tired, so he has to go down from anywhere. And after he left, Ma Chao smiled at Guo Jia, "Fengxiao, it seems that after we rest for another day, we can attack the city!" ”
Guo Jia nodded to his lord, he knew that his own men had just arrived, so it would indeed be difficult to attack tomorrow. And depending on what his lord means, he should rest for another day tomorrow and attack the day after tomorrow.
So at this time, he also said: "What the lord said is good, our army is not short of one or two days." And this Gangneung City really has to be considered in the long run! ”
Speaking of such a strong city in the world, Guo Jia actually has a lot of ideas, and when there is no complete way to break the enemy city, he really can't say too much. I can only remind myself of my lord in my own identity, in fact, there is no way at this moment, but this siege cannot be delayed. Although Guo Jia doesn't think that he can take advantage of anything, if you don't attack, you really can't take advantage of it at all.
Ma Chao nodded when he heard this, he knew what Guo Jia meant, and at this time, he glanced at Ma Dai, after all, he was the main general of the attack, but looking at what Ma Dai meant, he didn't have any opinion. Indeed, he will not have any opinions, as far as he is concerned, this Jiangling is enough to take, so it is true, he is not so eager to try, at least at this moment.
If there is anyone who is really eager to try, it has to be Cui An, but for him, Ma Chao basically ignores it. Indeed, there is not much difference between his idea and not.
After that, Ma Chao waved his hand to everyone and asked them all to go down, even Guo Jia. It's all in the big tent, and it doesn't mean that you will be able to study anything. At least at this time, Ma Chao knows that everyone has no choice, so they can only "take a step and see a step".
Now Ma Chao doesn't know the situation in Changsha, if he knows, he probably has to worry more-
Cao Ren came to the Jiangdong Army camp outside the city of Xiangnan and saw Lu Su who was in the big tent. Lu Su didn't look at Cao Ren and arranged a place for him to live in the city, which was true, but he really didn't live in the city. He wanted to, but he knew he couldn't. Unless his Jiangdong army is in Shonan City, otherwise, how can he live in the city?
Seeing Cao Ren enter the big tent, Lu Su was indeed not surprised, of course, the previous soldiers had already reported it, but Lu Su didn't go directly to greet him.
So at this time, he smiled and said: "General Cao is here, he has missed the distance, forgive his sins!" ”
Cao Ren smiled and waved his hand, "Mr. said that, I know that Mr. has a lot of opportunities, so how can I have time to do anything else, hehe!" ”
Cao Ren is definitely not telling the truth, to put it bluntly, he is sarcastic about Lu Su. No matter how much you take care of every day, can you do more than your lord's grandson? Don't say it's you Lu Su Lu Zijing, even if your lord Sun Ce is here personally, he can't do this to himself! This is a trace of dissatisfaction in Cao Ren's heart, for him, it seems that he is not welcome to come here now.
But Cao Ren really didn't want to come to the Jiangdong Army camp if he was fine, but there was no way. I have to come here, and I have to come here myself. Don't you know yet, Lu Su Lu Zijing, others come, it's not easy to do it, just yourself, you can still do it.
Doesn't he know Guo Huai's ability, he also believes in him. But compared with Guo Huai and himself, he lacks this status and status, speaking of which is now the Yanzhou Army, in Changsha, isn't it what he said, not Guo Huai. So Cao Ren knew in his heart that if he wanted to come, no matter who came, he must have his own. (To be continued......)
