93. Genius boy

Jiangdong is full of talents, and the navy is even more powerful. It's just that Jiangxia Taishou Huang Zu thinks very highly of himself, and once shot Sun Jian to death, but he didn't take Zhou Yu in his eyes at all, and he didn't take advantage of the geographical advantage and defended the danger. When Zhou Yu was about to approach Xiakou, he ordered Zhang Xun and Chen to set up a position on the Yangtze River and prepare to meet the Jiangdong army.

Zhang Xun and Chen took the main battleship, and when they saw the Jiangdong Army approaching, they decided to strike first and command the Jiangxia Navy to launch an attack on Jiangdong. Zhou Yu saw that the Jiangxia army took the initiative to attack, which was exactly what he wanted, so he let Han Dang, Ling Cao, Lu Meng, and Dong Xi take the vanguard army to fight with the Jiangxia navy, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Tai Shici led the army to respond, and the bow and arrow covered the vanguard army, and boarded the battleships of Zhang Xun and Chen Zuo.

The speed of the Jiangdong vanguard army was fast, and there were few people, and the bow and arrow hit rate of the Jiangxia naval army was not high, Zhang Xun and Chen saw that the four soldiers were few, so they ordered the soldiers to confront the Jiangdong army head-on, with nearly 5,000 people and only more than 500 opponents, no matter how they calculated, they would not lose. However, after all, he still underestimated Han Dang, Ling Cao, Lu Meng and Dong Xian, his thousands of people couldn't stop these five hundred people, Jiangdong's building boat kept approaching his own navy, and Jiangxia's navy suffered heavy losses, and it was completely at a disadvantage.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Zhang Xun and Chen immediately turned around and prepared to retreat to Xiakou. Jiangdong's vanguard army would not let them get their way, Han Dang and Ling Cao were the closest to Zhang Xun's battleship, and led dozens of people to jump directly on it. Zhang Xun and Chen had hundreds of people on the battleship, so they naturally would not be afraid, and led their troops to fight with Han Dang and Ling Cao. In front of fierce generals like Han Dang and Ling Cao, the two couldn't support it for a few rounds, and they were killed, and the Jiangdong army also took the opportunity to surround them, and the Jiangxia navy, which had lost its command, could only choose to surrender.

The Jiangxia Navy and the Jiangdong Navy were defeated in the first battle, and the 5,000 Jiangxia Navy were annihilated, the main generals Zhang Xun and Chen were killed, and Xiakou fell. Huang Zu, who was in Jiangxia, began to panic at this time, if Gan Ning and Su Fei were still there, the Jiangxia Navy would be defeated to this point, and he could no longer care about face, Huang Zu wrote to Liu Biao for help.

Liu Bei was still prescient and knew that Huang Zu was definitely not the opponent of the Jiangdong Army, so he sent Liu Pan to lead the army to support early. Huang Zu was greedy for life and afraid of death, seeing that the Jiangdong Army had many troops, instead of sitting and waiting to be killed, it was better to abandon the city and flee first, and there was still a glimmer of life. Just when the Jiangdong army was preparing to besiege the city, he secretly escaped, but was discovered by the Jiangdong army, and was chased by the knight Feng Ze, cut off his head, and dedicated it to Zhou Yu.

Liu Pan's Jingzhou army also arrived when Huang Zu fled, blocking the Jiangdong army that was attacking Jiangxia. Ling Cao took the lead, climbed to the head of Jiangxia City, and was about to snatch and seize the city gate, when a feather arrow hit the center of the eyebrows, Ling Cao fell unwillingly and fell off the city. When the Jiangdong generals saw that Ling Cao was hit by an arrow and fell off the city, they immediately stepped forward to save him, and when he was rescued, Ling Cao was already dead of anger.

A veteran in his fifties stood majestically on the Jiangxia city wall, holding a longbow, looking at the Jiangdong heroes proudly, and said loudly: "Jiangdong rat generation, Huang Zhong is here, how dare you offend me Jingzhou?" If you don't retreat, don't blame the old man for being ruthless, that person will be your end! It turned out that Huang Zhong saw the Jiangxia City Gate in a distance, and Ling Cao was particularly brave, and shot an arrow at Ling Cao's head, which hit Ling Cao's eyebrows, which made the Jiangdong army shocked.

Zhou Yu saw that the reinforcements of the Jingzhou army had arrived, and he folded Ling Cao again, so he could only temporarily withdraw his troops and fight again in the coming day. Liu Pan stabilized the situation in Jiangxia and saw that there were still more than 10,000 Jiangxia soldiers in the city, but the main general Huang Zu escaped from the battle and almost lost Jiangxia City. Liu Pan was about to write a letter to his uncle Liu Biao, explaining that Huang Zu was afraid of crime and absconded, and someone reported that Huang Zu had been killed by the Jiangdong Army, so Liu Pan gave up.

Liu Pan and Huang Zhong brought 20,000 horses, plus Jiangxia still had more than 10,000 soldiers, which was enough to deal with the Jiangdong army, and they did not ask for support again. Zhou Yu tried to attack a few more times, and saw that Huang Zhong's martial arts were strong, his archery skills were amazing, and Huang Zu was dead, even if he captured Jiangxia, with the current strength of the Jiangdong Army, he would not be able to take Jingzhou, so he slowly withdrew.

Seeing that the Jiangdong Army had withdrawn, the two went to Taishou Mansion to deal with Huang Zu's funeral. When the people of Huangfu heard that the Jiangdong army was besieging the city, the lord fled, and the mansion fell into infinite chaos, and the subordinates and Huang Zu's wives and concubines packed their bags and fled for their lives. Liu Pan and Huang Zhong also sighed when they saw that the huge Taishou Mansion was in a state of chaos, and the building was empty. When the two of them were inspecting the Huang Mansion, they saw a child in his teens who was seriously painting something on the ground, and Huang Zhong stepped forward and asked, "Child, why don't you run for your life and still paint here?" ”

The child was very nervous about the picture on the ground, stopped Huang Zhong and said: "Don't step on my painting, I'm not too guarded person, there's no need to escape, run out now, maybe it's really dead." Huang Zhong listened to the child's words, and immediately felt reasonable, and praised: "What a smart child, I don't know what your name is, what's going on with these paintings?" ”

Liu Pan also looked at the paintings on the ground with confidence, there were strangely shaped bows and arrows, all kinds of warships, and cars that he had never seen, and he also smiled: "You are really good at drawing, you can draw bows and arrows, ships and transports at a young age!" ”

The boy replied casually: "The two generals should be Jingzhou officers, I am also from Xiangyang, called Huang Yi, and Huang Taishou is a little related, originally wanted to make these drawings, but unfortunately, Huang Taishou did not listen to my persuasion, insisted on escaping, I think it is more than lucky!" ”

Liu Pan and Huang Zhong were shocked, this child was so young that he could guess that he was the Jingzhou Army instead of the Jiangdong Army, and more importantly, he also advised Huang Zu not to abandon the city and flee, and was busy asking why. Huang Yi stood up and said seriously: "I just guessed, Lord Liu Biao will definitely not sit idly by, Cai Mao will not be so obedient, I think this eldest brother should be Major General Liu Pan, and the old uncle must be Huang Zhong." ”

The two felt that this child was too smart, and he was simply a prodigy. Huang Zhong's son died young, and seeing that Huang Yi was so smart and had the heart to accept him as a righteous son, he asked: "Child, you are really smart and clever, and you really like the old man." And you and I are both surnamed Huang, I don't know if you would like to recognize me as your father-in-law? ”

Huang Yi's parents died early, originally lived in his uncle Huang Chengyan's house, smart and clever since childhood, although he likes to invent bow and arrow equipment, but often listen to Huang Chengyan, Pang Degong, Mr. Shui Jing and others talk about the situation, with his ingenuity, under the influence of his ears and eyes, he also has a general understanding of the situation in Jingzhou. Huang Yi lost his father when he was young, and Huang Zhong lost his son in middle age, and the two happened to be sick and sympathetic, so Huang Yi recognized Huang Zhong as his father.

Liu Pan, at the suggestion of Huang Yi, succeeded Huang Zu and was stationed in Jiangxia. After a few days, Huang Yi really couldn't figure out how the railway was built, so he said goodbye to Huang Zhong and went to Xiangyang to ask Huang Yueying for advice. Liu Pan had a very good personal relationship with Huang Zhong, and he was also happy to accept Huang Yi as his righteous son for Huang Zhong, so naturally he did not refuse.

Huang Yi arrived at his uncle's house, and his cousin was also studying those drawings, seeing that it was Huang Yi, Huang Yueying cleaned it and restored her original appearance. Although Huang Yueying has yellow hair and natural curly hair, which does not conform to the aesthetics of the Han Dynasty, she is actually quite beautiful, but she likes to engage in disguise techniques, so she has become an ugly girl in the mouth of everyone. Huang Yi smiled: "My sister doesn't care about her appearance so much, be careful that she can't get married!" ”

Huang Yueying saw that Huang Yi was making fun of herself about marriage, so she patted Huang Yi's head fiercely and said, "You don't have to worry about my affairs, have you designed what I gave you?" "Huang Yi has been smart since he was a child, and he has never met an opponent among his peers, but he is afraid of his cousin, and he has never won against her. This time is no exception, Huang Yueying gave her the drawings, she could only design a repeater and a ship, and the railway really couldn't think of it, and she couldn't understand it at all.

Huang Yi could only admit defeat and humbly ask Huang Yueying how to make this railway. Huang Yueying said proudly: "You don't know so much, I still figured out how to fly in the air?" Huang Yi suddenly became interested, Huang Yueying couldn't help it, so she had to agree: "It's okay to tell you, but you have to help me do something?" Huang Yi nodded again and again, he was very keen on these studies, not to mention one thing, even ten, a hundred he would agree.
