(First Update)

There is a saying that plans can't keep up with change. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Just when Cao Peng was about to leave and rushed to Jianyang to ask Cen Shao to come out of the mountain, an unexpected situation forced him to change his plan.

Runan Taishou Li Tong, led 8,000 reinforcements, quietly passed through the Queshan Mountain, and arrived in Biyang County.

Hearing the news, Cao Peng was also shocked.

The information I got earlier was that Li Tongshang was recruiting soldiers and horses in Pingyu, but I didn't expect him to come to Zhaoming to repair the plank road, secretly Chen Cang, and lead his troops to Biyang. This also shows that Li Tong did not ignore Cao Peng's request for help, on the contrary, he attached great importance to it, so he did this. It's just that he suddenly arrived in Biyang and caught Cao Peng off guard. Cao Peng hadn't even prepared for it before that...... The military camp in Tongbai Dafu Mountain has just begun to be built, but it has not been completed. And Huyang has not been able to prepare because of the great war, and the grain and grass have not yet been raised. Now, 8,000 reinforcements have arrived, and Nanyang must be responsible for the daily consumption of grain and grass.

That's going to be a staggering number.

After all, although Cao Jun defeated Liu Hu in Huyang, everyone knew very well that this battle had just begun......

The front is too long, the situation is too complicated!

In the whole of Nanyang, the clan, Liu Biao, Liu Bei, and Cao Cao are entangled and intertwined, and it is difficult to explain clearly in one sentence.

And Liu Biao's intention to send Wenpin to garrison Deng County is very obvious.

He's a bit inclined to send troops!

Once Liu Biao officially decides to send troops, the situation will become even more complicated. Jingxiang's hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are not a small number after all. And those clans in Nanyang County, although many of them have released goodwill to Cao Peng, more clans are still observing from the sidelines.

If Liu Biao has the upper hand, these clans will not hesitate to throw themselves at Liu Biao.

At that time, the whole of Nanyang will be in the midst of war......

This is a long war, although Cao Peng has been mentally prepared, he is still inevitably a little apprehensive. The arrival of Li Tong will relieve his pressure to a large extent. As the Taishou of Nanyang County, he is on par with Li Tong in terms of level. Now that the county guards came in person, Cao Peng naturally couldn't be rude. Therefore, from the point of view of etiquette, Cao Peng must go to Biyang immediately.

However, who is going to invite Cen Shao?

After thinking about it for a long time, Kuai Zheng recommended someone to Cao Peng.

This person's name is Cen Shu, the word Meng Liang, and he is a member of the Cen clan. At the beginning, Cen Shao led the Cen family to join and recommended Cen Shu to Cao Peng. Subsequently, Kuai Zheng led Cen Shu to Huyang to take up his post and entrusted him with the post of chief bookkeeper. At this time, Cen Shu, twenty-four years old, is in his prime. Being able to serve as the head of a county also shows that he is not idle. The most important thing is that Cen Shao attaches great importance to Cen Shu, so he recommended him to become an official.

Cao Peng agreed at the moment, and wrote a letter, ordering Cen Shu to take him to Jianyang.

Subsequently, Cao Peng set off overnight and rushed to Biyang to join Li Tong. At the same time, Kuaizheng sent people to Fuyang and Pingshi counties and asked them to make preparations overnight and step up the construction of camps. As soon as Li Tong's soldiers and horses arrived at Dafu Mountain, it was imperative that they settle down smoothly.

For a while, Huyang was busy.

The big war is over, and all kinds of things need to be dealt with.

Prisoners, food and grass, repairs of cities, pacification of the people, counting of the results of the war, etc......

Counting Li Yan, who is about to go to Tangzi Township, needs to make a plan; To welcome Li Tong's reinforcements, it is also necessary to make proper arrangements.

Not to mention Kuaizheng, even Li Yan, who was about to leave Huyang for Tangzi Township, could hardly have a moment of peace.

In desperation, Kuaizheng sent a messenger to Wuyin, on the one hand, to report the results of the battle, and on the other hand, Kuaizheng also hoped that Wuyin could provide support.

It's just that at this time, Kuai Zheng didn't know that Jia Xu had arrived in Wuyin.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

After a whole night, it was dawn that Kuaizheng rested.

But before he could rest for long, someone suddenly came to report: "General Huang asks to see him." ”

"Huh?"

Kuai Zheng was startled and quickly sat up.

"Hurry up, please."

At this time, the sky is bright and the sun is shining.

Kuai Zheng hurriedly washed, and as soon as he wiped his face, Huang Zhong came.

Huang Zhong looked very tired, and he didn't have the majesty of galloping on the field earlier. He was dressed in civilian clothes, and after entering the hall, he bowed.

"Old General, why is this?"

"Chunte has come to die."

"Huh?"

Huang Zhong took a deep breath and said softly: "If Boping doesn't want to be loyal to death, please let him go home." ”

"Old General......

"Pepin, listen to me.

I know your intentions. However, Huang was loyal all his life and did not want to betray his lord for glory...... Huang Zhong is past the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and he is not ignorant of good and bad. I also know what Cao Gongzi thinks. But this loyal minister does not matter the two masters, and he is loyal and does not betray the truth of the master. If Gongzi Cao doesn't kill me, please let me go back. Huang thought about it all night last night, and after calculating it, I haven't returned home for many years since Xiaoxu left. My old wife at home wrote to me last year, asking me to return to the field. It's just that Huang has always been unwilling to admit defeat in his heart. Now that Huyang has failed miserably, Huang has become a prisoner, only to realize that he is really old. Instead of staying here and making people laugh, it is better to return home and accompany the old wife, but he will be alive. I also know that Cao Gongzi is not here, so I came to bid farewell to Peping......"

Huang Zhong's intentions were expressed very clearly.

Kuaizheng was dumbfounded, not knowing how to persuade.

Youxue, what you played with before seems to be a little too big......

tortured a good old general into this appearance.

Kuai Zheng could hear that Huang Zhong was really disheartened. It's just that he also knows that Cao Peng respects Huang Zhong from the bottom of his heart, and he is resolutely reluctant to kill Lao Huang Zhong.

But just let Huang Zhong go......

Kuai Zheng smiled bitterly: "Old general, why don't you wait for two days?"

Taishou is not in Huyang now, if you really want to leave, you should wait for Taishou to come back. ”

Huang Zhong shook his head.

"I know that my son is not there, so I resigned."

I just knew that Cao Peng was not here now, so I came to resign. The implication is to tell Kuai Zheng that I will never see Cao Peng, and if he comes back, I would rather die. You either let me go back or kill me, and the rest of the words, no more talking.

"This ......"

Kuaizheng really doesn't know what to do.

"Old general, why don't you wait for me?

Wait for me to send the square away, and then talk to the old general. ”

"Well, I'll wait here for Pepin's answer."

Huang Zhong would not fall for Kuaizheng's plan to delay the army, which also made Kuaizheng feel very helpless.

So, Kuai Zheng left the county party and joined Li Yan, who was about to set off, outside the city. Told Li Yan about the situation and asked Li Yan for advice.

"You mean, the old general has made up his mind?"

"Exactly."

Li Yan also felt a headache.

"This matter must be notified to Childe immediately."

"I have ordered someone to go to Biyang, and it is estimated that by noon, I will definitely be able to arrive."

"Can't you delay it for a day?"

"It's hard." Kuai Zheng said softly: "General Hansheng seems to be really disheartened, and he doesn't want to stay here for a long time. If you forcibly keep it, you may get into trouble. You also know that he has a strong temperament, and if you insist on keeping him, you won't be able to ......."

Although Kuaizheng didn't say what would happen if he couldn't figure it out, the implication of this statement had been fully revealed.

According to Huang Zhong's fiery temperament, if you don't get it, you will commit suicide!

"You, are you sure he's going home?"

"I can see that."

Li Yan couldn't help but tap his forehead lightly, "That's it, let's ask the old general to have lunch and send him on the road again...... It can be delayed for a while, and it can be delayed for a while. If it doesn't work, let him go. However, it is okay for him to go home, and he needs to be accompanied by someone. When the son comes back, there will be an explanation. ”

Hearing this, Kuai Zheng nodded in agreement.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

At noon, Kuai Zheng invited Huang Zhong to a banquet in the county party, and at the banquet, he struggled to keep him, but Huang Zhong had made up his mind and couldn't move......

In desperation, Kuai Zheng had no choice but to let Huang Zhong go.

However, he sent a hundred people to accompany him to escort Huang Zhong home.

Huang Zhong didn't refuse, he knew that Kuaizheng had already taken a risk by letting him go. If he takes the opportunity to get Jingzhou back, then Kuaizheng can't afford to suffer. At the same time, Huang Zhong was also very emotional: Compared with Cao Peng's side, Jingzhou Liu Biao treats him like a villain. Liu Biao dislikes him for being old, although Liu Pan is willing to use him, but he wants to use him more than accept him sincerely. Otherwise, he would not have reached this point, and he would still be a Zhonglang general without any real power; As for Liu Hu, not to mention! is narrow-minded, suspicious and suspicious, and is not a person who can achieve great things at all. On the contrary, he is the enemy, whether it is Cao Peng or Kuaizheng, he trusts him more.

Forget it, when I go back to my hometown this time, I will accompany my old wife and live for the rest of my life.

Huang Zhong was so frustrated that he embarked on the journey home......

In the fifth year of Zhongping, he re-entered the office due to the death of his beloved son, and after leaving his hometown in Danshui, it has been nearly 20 years. Twenty years, he still achieved nothing, but he endured all kinds of humiliation and suppression. Previously, he was ordered to come to Zhangling, hoping to establish a meritorious career.

Who knows, when he came to Zhangling, he was suppressed even more.

If you win, you will be jealous, and if you lose, you will be suspicious...... Sometimes thinking about it, Huang Zhong feels that in the past 20 years, he has almost spent the past 20 years in a state of confusion. No one wants to believe in Him, and no one wants to use Him! Just because he is an inconspicuous old pawn.

When he left home, he was fierce.

When I returned home, I was gloomy**......

Huang Zhong marched all the way with a stomach full of grievances and worries.

After nightfall, he arrived at Yiqiuju and settled in the post house of Yiqiuju.

Dinner was prepared for him by Cao Jun, who accompanied him. And this general who escorted him home was Fu Wei's brother, Fu Gong.

"Ji Long, why do you want to serve that Cao Peng to the death?"

Huang Zhong pulled Fu Gong to drink, and after three rounds of wine, he couldn't help but be a little smoky.

Fu Gong smiled, "If you don't serve your son, who wants to use me?"

Old general, I am different from you...... At the beginning, you took the head of the general in Wancheng, a million army, like a bag to get something. But I don't have the ability to do that. It is not as good as the Kuai County Order to have a family background, nor is it as good as the Deng County Order, which has followed the son's family for a long time...... My brother and I both started from the end of the slightest, and the son did not think that we were from humble backgrounds, so he promoted my brother to be a captain. In the first battle of Thorny Water, my brother died in battle, and my son even ordered someone to borrow my brother's wife to Xingyang, thinking that he was a fake son, and even brought me to his side, treating me as a confidant. With such righteousness, why don't I die? ”

Huang Zhong smiled, "In this way, you are lucky. ”

"Luck or not, I don't know.

Anyway, Childe treats me very well, so I can only work hard for Childe...... Actually, isn't the old general? My son-in-law attaches great importance to the old general, and when he heard the name of the old general in Nanshankou, he led the soldiers and horses to Huyang without saying a word. As for what he did before, it was Li Zhengfang's plan, not what my son-in-law wanted. His admiration for the old general, even General Pang was a little jealous. ”

"Really?"

Huang Zhong couldn't help but be silent......
