The dense rain of arrows blocked Huang Zhong's way. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Cao Jun had already prepared, and although Huang Zhong charged hard, he could not advance half a step. A moment later, there was a rapid sound of gongs behind him, and it was Liu Hu who was closing his troops in Mingjin. Huang Zhong helplessly looked at the Cao army camp that was close at hand, but he had no way, his mood was extremely heavy, and he returned to the Jingzhou camp.
"Come on, take down this old horseman."
As soon as Huang Zhong entered the big tent, he heard Liu Hu roar angrily.
The knife and axe hand rushed up and tied Huang Zhong's rope with a rope.
Liu Hu sneered: "Old horseman, don't you think I'm a three-year-old child? How dare you come back! It is a shame that my brother thinks so highly of you, but you turn your back on the Lord for glory...... You said yesterday that you will take Cao Peng's head today. However, he didn't even see Cao Peng's shadow. What else do you have to say? ”
By this time, Huang Zhong really didn't know how to explain it.
He is also a person with an extremely tough personality, so he grovels to beg Liu Hu for mercy, and he can't do it.
could only look at Liu Hu, Huang Zhong said after a while: "Tiger boy, the last general has nothing to say...... Cao thieves are treacherous and divide the plot. Even if I had a thousand mouths, I couldn't tell. It's just that if Gongzi wants to kill the last general, he will make Cao Thief slap his palm. If the prince believes me, he might as well keep me in the army, sooner or later, one day, and the end will prove his innocence. ”
"Hmph, I'm afraid that if I don't wait for you to prove your innocence, my head will not be guaranteed...... Come on, pull this old puppet out of me and cut him off! ”
Liu Hu gave an order, and the knife and axe hand pushed Huang Zhong and walked out.
A cadre of generals stepped forward to plead for mercy, but Liu Hu turned a deaf ear.
Huang Zhong was pulled to the front of the gate, and the knife and axe hand was already ready. I saw two sword and axe men walking up to Huang Zhong and whispering: "Old general, we are also acting on orders, and please don't blame the old general." ”
Regardless of whether Huang Zhong defected to Cao Jun or not, his reputation could still make the Jingzhou soldiers feel admired.
Huang Zhong smiled bitterly and didn't say anything.
He just stood under the gate, looking straight ahead, looking at the Cao army camp from afar: Little thief, you are really a good means and a good plan......
In his heart, Huang Zhong did not blame Cao Peng, but appreciated it a little. The so-called soldiers are not tired of cheating! He and Cao Peng are their own masters, and no matter what kind of means Cao Peng uses, it is not excessive. Flies don't bite seamless eggs, if Liu Hu can trust Huang Zhong a little more, Cao Peng can't help Huang Zhong even if he has a thousand means. It's a pity that when Cao Peng learned about Liu Hu's character, he came up with a countermeasure. Although Huang Zhong is old, he can't be beaten! In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, how many people who despise Huang Zhong end up in a different place. Cao Peng will never despise Huang Zhong, let alone fight with Huang Zhong.
He asked Pang De, and even Huang Zhong about how powerful he was.
In terms of skill, Cao Peng and Pang De are between them, especially in the cavalry battle, after Cao Peng no longer has the advantage of saddle stirrups, unless some special means are used, it is difficult to defeat Pang De...... However, with Pang De's bravery, he couldn't help Huang Zhong. In the first battle of Tangzixiang, although Pang De was ambushed by Huang Zhong, but the confrontation between the two was a real fight, and Huang Zhong relied on his real skills to suppress Pang De.
Under such circumstances, how could Cao Peng go to a head-to-head confrontation with Huang Zhong?
Deep down, Cao Peng has a good impression of Huang Zhong.
But if there is no chance to solicit him, he will not mind and put Huang Zhong to death......
The twilight summer sun is like fire, but Huang Zhong's heart is quiet. He closed his eyes and listened to the three soul-boosting drums in the camp, and couldn't help but sigh softly. Thinking about his life can be described as a lot of hardships. has been brilliant and downtrodden, and now, there is no desire or desire.
The battle of Wan in the first year of Zhongping was the most glorious time in Huang Zhong's life.
In the face of millions of yellow turban thieves, he rode alone, entered the Chinese army, and killed twelve commanders of Taiping Road, and became famous since then; But after that, Huang Zhong's life quickly fell to the bottom. His beloved son Huang Xu was heavily soldiered, and he had no choice but to resign from the invitation of Qin Jie, who was too guarded, and returned home to take care of his son. In the end, it was still the white-haired man who sent the black-haired man, and the son was not treated, and the future was bleak.
In the first year of Zhongping, Nanyang was too shou Qinjie, and he could be regarded as a famous minister and good general in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, with an extremely magnificent bearing and pattern.
It's a pity that after the yellow scarf, Qin Jie may have killed too much.
Soon after receiving the imperial court's commendation, he died of illness...... If Qin Jie did not die at that time, Huang Zhong would inevitably be reused after re-entering the office. It's just that once the son of heaven and a courtier, Qin Jie died, and the new Nanyang Taishou didn't like Huang Zhong, and even suppressed it......
Fortunately, Cen Hui saw the friendship of his fellow villagers at that time and took care of him in secret, so Huang Zhong was not persecuted.
But subsequently, Cen Hui was forced to flee to Jiangxia because he offended the ten permanent servants. Huang Zhong was driven to Changsha by Nanyang Taishou Chengjin, and became an inconspicuous commander of the army, responsible for dealing with the attack of Wuxi Man in Wuling Mountain. Later, Zhang Zhi took office, but he also admired Huang Zhong. But at that time, Huang Zhong was transferred to Changsha, and Zhang Zhi had no way to recruit him. Subsequently, Zhang Zhi was killed by Sun Jian, and the promotion of Huang Zhong was also shelved.
Liu Biao entered Jingzhou and showed a tough posture at first.
But as soon as Jingzhou was calm, Liu Biao began to emphasize literature over military force, appoint cronies, and suppress military ministers.
Huang Zhong was not reused by Liu Biao because of his age. Fortunately, Changsha was too guarded by Liu Pan, admired Huang Zhong's bravery, and recruited him over.
For many years, nothing was accomplished.
Wang Wei, Wen Ping and others, who asked for benefits from themselves back then, have now been reused.
But what about Huang Zhong?
Although he got the official position of a lieutenant general, he did not have any real power...... After thinking about it carefully, Huang Zhong has a lot of unwillingness in his heart.
The axe hand raised the steel knife, and in the sunlight, it reflected the cold glow of the forest.
Seeing that he was about to raise and drop the knife in his hand, he suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves, galloped a group of men and horses from a distance, led by a scribe, after seeing Huang Zhong clearly on the horse, he was shocked, and hurriedly shouted: "Keep people under the knife, keep people under the knife!" ”
The knife and axe hand was stunned, and hurriedly looked up.
But when he saw that the scribe had come to the gate, he turned over and dismounted.
"Hansheng, why is this so?"
"It's Mr. Wende."
Huang Zhong opened his eyes and couldn't help but smile bitterly after seeing the person who came clearly.
The person who came was none other than the Chaoyang captain Li Qi and Li Wende.
Liu Hu ordered Han Xuan to go to Chaoyang and asked Li Qi for support. After Li Qi heard that Cao Peng had arrived in Huyang, he didn't say a word, set off overnight, and rushed over. He knew very well that with Liu Hu's ability, he might not be able to defeat Cao Peng. But as soon as he arrived, he saw Huang Zhong being dragged out of the gate and beheaded...... Li Jue was taken aback! Huang Zhong is the one he tried to ask Liu Pan to come over, why did Liu Hu want to kill him?
Huang Zhong sighed and said to Li Jue: "Mr. Wende, Zhong was framed by Cao Peng, so that Si. ”
I was pitted by Cao Peng, so I ended up in such a field......
Li Jue was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Han Shengxiu is going to be frightened, I will go to meet the captain and plead for you......"
He said to the knife and axe: "Don't rush to the execution first, wait until I have met the lieutenant, and then I will tell." Take good care of the old general, and don't be lazy. ”
In terms of official positions, Li Qi and Liu Hu are at the same level.
At the same time, as Liu Biao's old department who came from Shanyang, although Li Qi is not a famous person in Jingxiang, he has some prestige in the army.
Back then, Liu Biao pacified Jingxiang, and Li Qiyi were all people who made great efforts.
At that time, whether it was Liu Hu or Liu Pan, they were only emerging talents, so they also had great respect for Li Qi. The knife and axe man didn't want to kill Huang Zhong in the first place, but when he saw Li Jue come forward to stop him, he pushed the boat down the river and agreed. Li Jue didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly dismounted and went straight to the big tent of the Chinese army.
Liu Hu was discussing with everyone in the military tent, and when he heard that Li Qi was coming, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Mr. Wende, why did you come in person?"
Liu Hu welcomed Li Qi into the big tent and ordered someone to arrange a seat.
Li Qi sat down panting, and before he even had time to take a breath, he spoke: "I heard Bo Fu say that Cao Youxue came to Huyang to supervise the battle, so he was a little worried, so he set off from Chaoyang overnight. I have ordered food and grass to be prepared, and I have gathered eight thousand men and horses to arrive here in the near future. At the same time, I also informed Liu Bei in Wancheng and asked him to assist in Wancheng as appropriate to attract Cao Jun's attention......
By the way, when I entered the gate just now, I saw Han Sheng and was bound, somehow? ”
Liu Hu was suddenly a little unhappy in his heart.
What do you mean by that?
I heard that Cao Peng came to Huyang, are you worried...... Could it be that you look down on me and think that I am not the opponent of Cao Youxue?
It's just that Li Qi's qualifications are there, and Liu Hu is dissatisfied, but he can't say anything. But listening to Li Jue ask about Huang Zhong, Liu Hu couldn't bear it anymore.
"Mr. Wende, don't talk about that old horseman."
He informed Li Qi of what had happened in the past two days.
Of course, the words naturally do not say that Huang Zhong is good, but extremely slanderous. In Liu Hu's mouth, Huang Zhong was arrogant and domineering, especially after the two wars in Tangzixiang, he was even more arrogant. At the same time, he secretly colluded with Cao Jun and had the intention of rebellion, so he wanted to kill Huang Zhong.
When Li Jue heard this, he couldn't help frowning.
"Han Sheng Zhongke, there is no reason to collude with Cao thief, will there be a misunderstanding here?"
Liu Hu's face sank, "What does Mr. Wende mean by this?" Is it possible, will I still wronged him Huang Hansheng? The generals in the army can prove that I have given him many opportunities. I asked him to explain just now, but do you know what he said? He actually said that without him Huang Hansheng, I would not be able to win against Cao Peng. What arrogant words...... If I don't kill him, how can I lead the army in the future, and how can I convince my subordinates? ”
Li Qi glanced at Liu Hu, but did not immediately refute.
He also muttered a little in his heart: Could it be that Huang Zhongzhen colluded with Cao Thief?
Impossible, impossible!
Huang Hansheng is a person who cherishes his reputation, and there is no reason to repeat it. To say that he colluded with Cao Peng is inevitably a bit biased, and it is likely that he fell for Cao Peng's tricks. However, looking at Liu Hu's angry appearance, Li Jue also knew that if he wanted to refute at this time, he would inevitably turn against Liu Hu.
"Juyan, Han Sheng, I also know something.
said that he colluded with Cao thief...... However, the evidence is somewhat insufficient, and if he is killed, it may be difficult to convince the soldiers. Moreover, before Huyang was defeated, he beheaded his own general, which was ominous in the army. It's better to do this, and leave Huang Hansheng's life and closely monitor. If he really colluded with the Cao thief, it would not be too late to kill him...... If not, he may be ordered to fight. If he can kill the enemy, the soldiers will also praise the heart of the boulder......"
"This ......"
When Liu Hu heard this, he was also a little hesitant.
He can ignore others, but Li Jue pleads, but he always has to sell two points of face.
After pondering for a long time, Liu Hu said: "Since Wende intercedes, then I will spare him once." However, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime is not spared, come and pull the old man back, reward him with twenty back flowers, and stay in the army to check ...... Bo Fu, let him obey your orders for the time being. ”
