Chapter 387: A Great Gift to Huang Zhong
Liu He blinked his eyes and said with a flattering smile: "Of course it's you, old brother, who doesn't know that our old general Huang can open ten hard bows in a row, and he can't tell that he is seventy years old at all." ”
Huang Zhong nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, count you as a kid, let's say, you suddenly mentioned Xiahou Yuan in front of me, what kind of idea did you come up with?" ”
Liu He smiled knowingly, leaned in front of Huang Zhong, and pretended to be mysterious: "I want to give my brother a big gift, but I'm afraid that my brother won't dare to accept it." ”
Huang Zhong pursed his lips disdainfully, "If it's a gift from someone else, I really have to think about it, but if you kid gives it, no matter how big the gift is, I will accept it all, brother!" ”
"Oh?" Liu He straightened up and looked Huang Zhong up and down with questioning eyes, the smile on his face became more and more playful, "Xiahou Yuan's head, do you dare to accept it?" ”
Huang Zhong was shocked when he heard this, "Is this true? ”
Liu He nodded calmly.
Huang Zhong suddenly laughed loudly, stepped forward and grabbed Liu He's hand, "I have accepted this gift, come on, come on, tell me about it, how can I get this gift in my hands." ”
"Actually, it's very simple, yesterday Xiahou Yuan's Shensu Battalion was rushed by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry under Ma Chao, and he was so scared that his soul was gone, I think it won't be able to slow down in two or three days." Liu He stretched out a finger and pointed to a place on the map in front of him, "The old general only needs to lead his troops out of the valley and go straight here, and he will definitely meet Xiahou Yuan." ”
Huang Zhong nodded very seriously, "And then?" ”
"And then?" Liu He was stunned for a moment, "What else is there, then, you go up and cut off Xiahou Yuan's head with a knife, and it's over." ”
Huang Zhong's face sank, "You kid is making fun of me, right?" Then Xiahou Yuan can be regarded as a generation of famous generals, who can wash his neck and wait for me to cut it? ”
Liu He explained with a smile: "Didn't I tell you, Xiahou Yuan's Shensu Battalion has lost its combat strength, and it can't become any climate, and the remaining shrimp soldiers and crab generals, in front of General Huang, are they not the same as Bai Qi?" ”
Huang Zhong still shook his head again and again, "I don't believe what you said, let me ask you, if Xiahou Yuan is really as lost as you said now, why doesn't he withdraw, and he has to stay here and wait for death?" ”
"Do you know how we've survived these past few days?" Liu He suddenly said in a deep voice.
Huang Zhong's face was straight, "I heard that, if it weren't for the easy defense and difficult attack of the valley mouth of that valley, I'm afraid it would be ......."
"That's right! And this kind of easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack valley mouth is not only the one in front of us! With that, Liu He picked up Huang Zhong and strode out of the tent.
Before coming to the valley that had experienced several fierce battles, Liu He stretched out his hand and pointed to the opposite side, "The old general will see for himself." ”
Seeing Cao Jun looming at the valley mouth on the opposite side, Huang Zhong suddenly realized: "Xiahou Yuan wants to concoct this method and use your method to defend the valley mouth opposite. ”
"That's right, that's what Xiahou Yuan thinks. As soon as our army arrived, the situation of the two sides was diametrically opposite to before, our side became the side with the advantage of troops, and Xiahou Yuan could only switch from attack to defense. I'm sure he would have withdrawn if it weren't for this easy and difficult terrain. ”
Hearing Liu He's words, Huang Zhong fell into deep thought, but after thinking about it repeatedly, he still shook his head, "Since this is the case, I can't go, although the soldiers under my command are all brave and good at fighting, but ask yourself, compared to Xiahou Yuan's Divine Speed Battalion, it is still a little worse." Even his speedy battalion can't rush out of the valley, and if I go, isn't it tantamount to letting my subordinates die? ”
Liu He smiled playfully and pointed in the direction where the reinforcements came, "This doesn't need to be bothered by the old general, I have ordered someone to ride a fast horse, tie a branch to the horse's tail, and run back and forth on the way you came, and at the same time let them make a loud noise, startling the birds in the mountain, as soon as Xiahou Yuan sees it, he will think that our army has retreated, and he who is eager to retreat to the Hanzhong camp to rest will withdraw immediately." As long as the veteran general seizes this opportunity, he will definitely be able to make that earth-shattering military exploit. ”
Huang Zhong looked in the direction pointed by Liu He, and sure enough, he saw that the road was dusty, and he also startled flocks of birds from time to time.
Huang Zhong, who gradually showed joy, twisted his long beard in his hand, and said with a smile: "Okay, if that's the case, this trip is really necessary." ”
Seeing that Huang Zhong finally agreed to send troops, Liu He also felt very relaxed, and hugged his fists and said, "Then I will wait for the good news of General Huang here." ”
Huang Zhong suddenly smiled and bowed respectfully, "Sir is planning for me like this, I will definitely do my best in this battle to live up to Mr.'s high expectations." ”
Liu He hurriedly stepped forward to help Huang Zhong up, "Why is the old brother so polite, I just called you a few old generals, you don't have to see me like this, right?" ”
Huang Zhong sighed, and said: "Since I joined the command of the lord, I have not been given the opportunity to show my strengths, I am seventy years old, I thought that I would never have the opportunity to serve the lord, but I never thought that I could get such a god-given opportunity today, and my heart is really difficult to calm down for a while." ”
Looking at the veteran in front of him whose eyes were already ruddy, Liu He said softly: "Old General Huang's ability, Liu He knows it in his heart, others don't know, it's because they don't know the goods, and the old general doesn't have to be like them." When I return to Chengdu, I am ready to make the old general one of the five tiger generals. ”
"Five Tiger Admirals ......" heard this unheard of, but very domineering title, a glimmer of light flashed in the eyes of the veteran who was over seventy years old.
Liu He smiled and nodded, "Yes, the five tiger generals, the second general, the third general, General Zhao Yun, General Ma Chao, and the old general." I believe that at that time, no one in this world will dare to say that he does not know Xishu Huang Hansheng. ”
Huang Zhong's expression was complicated, as if he was a veteran in his twilight years, and finally waited for the moment of fame, the excitement was self-evident.
"When am I leaving?" Huang Zhong clenched his fists and said in a deep voice.
Liu He smiled and pointed to the valley opposite, Huang Zhong turned his head to look, and saw that Cao Jun, who was still wandering at the mouth of the valley opposite just now, was getting smaller and smaller at this time.
Huang Zhong smiled knowingly, turned around and strode into the camp, and with just a stick of incense, he gathered his men and horses and went straight to Xiahou Yuan's camp.
Back in the camp, Liu He ordered to go down, except for the triumphant return of General Huang, nothing to disturb him, and no one to see.
He sat alone in his tent, his mind in turmoil.
Regarding the matter of sending Huang Zhong to attack Xiahou Yuan, Liu He was always a little uneasy.
If you look at it historically, there is no doubt that Xiahou Yuan will be beheaded by Huang Zhong in this battle.
