Jiang Wei asked Huang Zhong to go to Jiaozhi immediately and lead the army to attack the city.

Huang Zhong said: "I will lead the soldiers to set off......"

"The general doesn't need to bring troops over, as long as he brings a few retinues." Jiang Wei said: "The lord specially instructed the general to go as soon as possible." ”

"No need to bring troops?" Huang Zhong asked in surprise.

"No, you don't." Jiang Wei said: "Tens of thousands of troops are waiting for the old general, and more than 1,000 people and horses can't play a role. ”

"I see." Huang Zhong nodded: "General Boyo came here, I should have entertained him, since the lord wants me to go as soon as possible, then wait until later to talk to the general." ”

"I wish the veteran general a victorious start." Jiang Wei bowed.

Huang Zhong said with a smile: "When General Boyo calls me in the future, you don't need to bring an old word. I am old, but not old enough to lead the army. When I leave the army, it would be better for the general to call me the old general again. ”

"Then I wish General Huang a victory!" Jiang Wei changed his words.

"Thank you, General Boyo!" Huang Zhong returned the salute and greeted a few guards, regardless of the morning or evening, and went straight to Jiaozhi.

When Huang Zhong set off, it was not early.

Although Wanghai City was not very far from Jiaozhi, by the time he came to the army, it was already late.

Before entering the barracks, Huang Zhong found that dozens of cannons were in position, ready to bombard Jiaozhi at any time.

Judging by the arrangement of the artillery, the artillery should have fired during the day.

Huang Zhong was about to go to see Cao Shuo, and three people came over.

Walking behind were two soldiers, and the person in front was Deng Zhan, the commander of the guards beside Cao Shuo.

"General Huang!" Seeing Huang Zhong, Deng Zhan bowed: "The lord has been waiting for a long time." ”

"It's not early, and the lord hasn't slept yet?" Huang Zhong dismounted and asked Deng Zhan.

"The lord has been waiting for General Huang, saying that if the general is not there, he will not be able to sleep peacefully." Deng Zhan replied: "Please also ask the general to go and see him quickly." ”

"Even if I come to the army, the siege will be tomorrow morning." Huang Zhong said: "The lord doesn't have to be like this. ”

"Actually, the lord has some things to explain to the general, and there are other things he wants to ask the general." Deng Zhan said: "The old general has a lot of responsibilities for attacking the city this time. ”

Accompanied by Deng Zhan to Cao Shuo's tent, Huang Zhong asked, "Can General Deng reveal one or two?" ”

"The lord wants to be happy." Deng Zhan said: "Zhu Rong is not only born like a goddess, but also the queen of the barbarians. If the lord can take her to the back house, most of the barbarians don't have to fight here. ”

"There are already a lot of ladies in the back house, and the eldest son is about to marry, and the lord is still thinking about receiving beauties." Huang Zhong shook his head: "If you want to say that the lord is good at everything, he just doesn't care about his body too much." ”

"The Lord is in the prime of life, and now he is out on conquest, and his wives are gone." Deng Zhan replied with a smile: "Even if there is no conquest, and we haven't determined where the capital is, it's not good to invite all the ladies to our side." If you can capture Zhu Rong, you can also relieve the loneliness of the lord. Although he dominates the country, the lord is also a man after all! ”

"That's what General Deng said." Huang Zhong responded: "If you want to say that the ladies also have their own abilities, I am just worried about the body of the lord, and I have no other intentions." ”

"General Huang just rest assured." Deng Zhan said: "The lord himself is measured. ”

He then said: "What the lord wants is not only Zhu Rong, but also Zhuge Liang. Although Zhuge Liang's desire for power is too heavy, he is still a talent. The lord often mentions that if he can get Zhuge Liang, from now on, he will have a lot of peace of mind in internal affairs. ”

"The lord loves talent, but he just gave me a big problem." Huang Zhong replied: "If you fight, it is easy to kill people on the battlefield, but it is very difficult to spare people's lives. You must know that when the soldiers were fighting, they were all red-eyed. People we don't want to kill, sometimes we find and find that they have died in the chaos. ”

"That's what the old general said!" Deng Zhan responded.

The two talked and came to Cao Shuo's tent.

There was a fire in the tent, and it was obvious that Cao Shuo had not yet fallen asleep.

Deng Zhan stood outside the tent and reported inside: "Lord Qiqi, General Huang is here!" ”

Cao Shuo's voice came from the tent: "Since General Huang is already here, why don't you invite him in to speak?" ”

"General Huang, my lord, please come in and speak." Deng Zhan said a word to Huang Zhong, and then retreated to the side.

Huang Zhong lifted the curtain and walked in, only to see Cao Shuo looking through a book.

"I've seen the lord." Huang Zhong bowed.

Cao Shuo raised his head to look at him and grinned, "Hansheng sat down and spoke." ”

Huang Zhong sat down, and Cao Shuo asked, "Are you still safe all the way?" ”

"Wanghai is not far from Jiaozhi, and it is safe to come all the way." Huang Zhong first replied, and then asked Cao Shuo: "Did the lord let the artillery open fire during the day?" ”、

"Since you have brought artillery, you don't let them fire a few cannons to relieve their boredom, I'm afraid that the artillery officers and soldiers will complain." Cao Shuo said: "I just let each cannon fire at random, and I didn't aim at the head of the city. ”

"Since we have opened our cannons and not aimed at the city, I am afraid that we will be laughed at by the barbarians, saying that our cannons are not accurate." Huang Zhong said: "If the lord allows, I want the artillery to bombard for a good day tomorrow morning." ”

"Plenty of shells, let alone a day." Cao Shuo said: "Even if you plan to bomb for a month, I can supply it." ”

"I heard General Deng say just now that the lord doesn't want to kill Zhuge Kongming and Zhu Rong?" Huang Zhong diverted the topic and asked about what he was most concerned about.

"Both of them are useful, of course it's best not to kill them." Cao Shuo grinned at him: "Since you came here today, there happen to be some things I want to discuss with you." Zhu Rong and Zhuge Liang are both trivial matters, and the important thing is what I plan to tell you. ”

"My lord, please speak!" Huang Zhong gave up his hand and asked Cao Shuo to continue.

"My wife has proposed to Mrs. Cai, and plans to let Heng'er marry the general's young lady." Cao Shuo asked, "Has the general agreed to this matter?" ”

"The eldest lady proposes marriage, and it is for the eldest son, why should I not agree?" Huang Zhong said: "Just mentioning this matter, I also want to ask the lord to agree to a request." ”

"Say!" had already guessed that Huang Zhong would put forward conditions, and Cao Shuo motioned for him to continue.

"The lord led the army at the age of fourteen, and ruled the world in the southern and northern wars." Huang Zhong said: "The eldest son has also learned the art of war and practiced martial arts since he was a child, and the world fought on horseback must be guarded by someone, and he also asked the lord to allow him to lead the army into battle, so as to hone some skills, and he can share the worries of the lord in the future." ”
