Chapter Twenty-Nine: Reinforcements Descending from Heaven
When the young general surnamed Huo heard this, he nodded and urged the army to move on.
After about five days, this army quickly crossed the vast mountain road, and then came to the city of Xiangxiang, the soul of Xiangxiang County Ling saw 10,000 enemy troops descending from the sky, did not dare to resist at all, and immediately opened the city to surrender.
After this army rested a little in the city, it took away a large amount of grain and grass from Xiangxiang, and ordered the army to change into the clothes of the Xiangxiang general, so that the army continued to advance, and in order to block the news, they deliberately took away the only son of the county commander, and promised him that as long as the county commander promised not to let Linxiang Zhang Xian get the news of this army, they would return their only son to the county commander soon after.
The county order surrendered lightly, lost a lot of grain and grass, and the only son became a hostage, where do you dare to say half a word? Immediately shook his spirits, showed the most shrewd and capable side, and ordered people to guard the city gate tightly, absolutely ensuring that no one would go from Xiangxiang to Linxiang in the short term, and ensuring that the news would never leak out.
The young general surnamed Huo learned about the move of the Xiangxiang County Order from the mouth of the spy, and he immediately admired the wisdom of the scribe surnamed Huang, coupled with the fact that the scribe surnamed Huang had traveled nearly seventy miles before the crossing, and he was already full of absolute trust in the scribe surnamed Huang.
Now he is very glad that he happened to meet this scribe who called himself Xiangyang Huang Shuo in Jiangling, and said secretly: "Fortunately, I met Mr. Huang this time, otherwise I might still be kept in the dark, obey that Zhang Yun, and commit the evil act of murdering the eldest prince, so as to be convicted of the entire Jingzhou people." Alas, it wasn't until I came to Wuling County that I knew that the eldest prince had such a high prestige in the army, and then I knew that the eldest prince was the hope of my Jingzhou, the eldest prince was a phoenix, and Zhang Yun and others were simply a wild duck, how could I offend a phoenix for a wild duck? β
The young general surnamed Huo wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and led the army to continue on his way. The army relied on the map from the Xiangxiang County Order, and relied on the unique tool in the hand of the scribe Huang Shuo that could point the direction like a plate, plus this army claimed to be a Xiangxiang army, was ordered to support the front line, and also held the token of the Xiangxiang County Order, and it was naturally unimpeded along the way, and it only took four days to come to the boundary of the northern boundary of Yuxian County.
Just when the young general surnamed Huo was leading the army and preparing to drive directly to Yuxian County, Huang Shuo suddenly stopped him, and Jianyì sent people to the front and back to investigate to see if there were any troops from Changsha nearby. The young general surnamed Huo thought so, and immediately sent people to the front and rear to investigate, only to know that there was a large army rushing to attack the county seat of Yuxian County, and because of the stubborn defense in the past few days, the county seat of Yuxian County has suffered very serious casualties, and now Liu Qi is mobilizing the people to defend the city, and the public order in the originally peaceful county seat of Yuxian County is now a little rioty, especially the people's hearts are already a little unstable.
The young general surnamed Huo was very anxious in his heart, and was ready to immediately lead the army to kill the city of Yanxian County, and then cooperate with Liu Qi's forces in the city to completely defeat this siege team, but was persuaded by Huang Shuo.
I only heard Huang Shuo say slowly: "We can't come to the city immediately, because we are wearing the clothes of the Changsha military, once we come to the city of Youxian, your eldest prince must think that we are local reinforcements, which makes the defenders who are already struggling to defend the spirit collapse, and it is likely to lead to the loss of Zhan County, not to mention that this enemy army is an elite soldier led by the famous general Huang Zhong, even if we rush to kill like this, we will definitely encounter the stubborn resistance of Huang Zhong's army." What's more, your eldest prince will definitely have doubts and dare not send troops to help. So we're at a very disadvantage. β
"So what are we going to do?" The young general surnamed Huo was slightly shocked and hurriedly asked.
"Hehe, we will first lead the army to Huang Zhong's old camp in the name of reinforcements, and then take the opportunity to seize his camp, and then lay an ambush, and when Huang Zhong returns with the army, we will all act together, and we will be able to capture Huang Zhong lightly, so that we can completely solve the scourge of Huang Zhong and turn the county into safety."
"What a brilliant idea. Mr. Huang, I am fortunate to have your help this time, otherwise I am afraid that the military plane would have been delayed. The young general surnamed Huo hurriedly grabbed Huang Shuo's hand in excitement, but Huang Shuo's face turned slightly red and gently dodged him.
The young general surnamed Huo didn't care about Huang Shuo's actions, smiled, and then gave an order to let the army drive to Huang Zhong's camp.
"Who? Stop quickly, or else Hugh blames me for waiting for the arrows. Huang Can, a military marquis who stayed in the camp, saw a soldier and horse suddenly come to the camp gate and shouted loudly.
But I heard the young general surnamed Huo say: "We were ordered to come from Xiangxiang County to assist the general in attacking the city, I don't know which general is the main general of this attack on Youxian?" β
"It turns out that you are brothers from far away in Xiangxiang, thank you for coming all the way to support, our general's surname is Huang, Ming Zhong, the word Hansheng, Nanyang people, but our general is now attacking Yuxian County, not in the camp, in the lower is the military marquis Huang Can, responsible for guarding the camp. I don't know that you have the official document of the county lord of your county engraved on your hand? Routine check-up, and please don't be surprised by this brother. Huang Can still didn't let go of the bow and arrow in his hand, and shouted loudly.
"Yes, the official document is here, and I invite Huang Junhou to take a look." The young general surnamed Huo immediately handed over the official document of the Xiangxiang County Order to the guards, and then the guards handed it over to Huang Can.
This official document is naturally genuine, Huang Canzhen looked at it for a while, and finally confirmed, so he ordered the camp gate to be opened and the young general surnamed Huo entered.
"Thank you Huang Junhou, hehe, to be honest, our army has marched more than 200 miles, and we are really tired all the way, and now we finally have a place to rest." The young general surnamed Huo saluted Huang Can, and then suddenly pulled out the long sword at his waist with bending down, and put the sword on Huang Can's neck with lightning speed.
The sergeants behind him also immediately moved and tied up the hundreds of sergeants.
"Huh? What's going on, brother, what are you doing here? Huang Can's face couldn't help but turn earthy, and he hurriedly asked.
"Hmph, let's tell you the truth, this general is the military general under the account of the eldest prince of Jingzhou, named Huo Jun, the word Zhonglian, a native of Zhijiang in Nanjun, was ordered to come to the aid of the eldest prince, just in time for your general Huang Zhong to attack the county seat, so we will seize your camp first, and wait until Huang Zhong returns, and then capture it, if you know each other, obediently cooperate with us, and there is still a life, otherwise, I am afraid that your good head will move from now on."
Huo Jun added a little strength to the long sword in his hand, and said coldly to Huang Can.
But Huang Can is not afraid of death, he smiled and said: "If you want to harm our general, you are simply dreaming, kill if you want to, don't talk nonsense, if I Huang Can frowns, I am not a hero." β
Huo Jun sighed, put down his sword, and said admiringly: "Sure enough, he is a good man, but don't you feel pity?" Although your general is heroic, but he follows Zhang Xian, a man of mediocre intelligence, once he becomes a prisoner in the future, isn't it a sigh? And our eldest son, Corporal Lixian, has great ambitions and has won the hearts and minds of the people, general, please think about it, should you seek a good way out for your general? β
Huang Can was silent, and after a while, he suddenly said: "My general led a large army to attack Yuxian for nearly a month, killing nearly 10,000 soldiers in the city, I am afraid that even if you surrender, your eldest son will definitely not allow it." β
Huo Jun smiled and said: "At that time, each was his master, and our eldest prince had a broad heart, so how could he care about this?" Please rest assured, with the pledge of the head of the Xiang, our eldest prince will definitely allow General Huang to return to obedience. β
Huang Can thought for a moment again, and said decisively: "Okay, I will believe in the general, and help the general capture our general today." Alas, his mind is a little stubborn, and it is really difficult to turn his back on the old master. β
Huo Jun clasped his fists and saluted: "Thank you brother for your help, I will definitely show your merits in front of the eldest prince." β
At that moment, the two discussed how to lay down an ambush and capture Huang Zhong.
And Huang Zhong naturally didn't know anything about this section, he led the crowd to attack the city today, it can be said that he caused a lot of losses to the other party, and what is even more exciting is that he used the strong bow in his hand today, and he actually shot an arrow into the shoulder of the opponent's main general Liu Qi, which greatly reduced the morale of the other party.
"Hehe, the enemy army is now struggling to survive, and it won't last long at all, and now even Liu Du and Zhao Fan have stepped up their attacks, I believe that it won't be long before the county town will be owned by me, and Liu Qi will definitely be captured by me."
Huang Zhong's heart was very happy, and he led the army back to the camp, not expecting that the camp had changed hands.
When Huang Can saw that Huang Zhong was back, he immediately ordered the camp gate to be opened and invited Huang Zhong in.
"General, how is the battle going this time?" Huang Can saw that Huang Zhong was happy, and hurriedly asked with a smile.
"Hehe, today's battle situation is very favorable, we have caused the enemy to lose two or three thousand men and horses, and the general also shot the shoulder of the enemy's main general Liu Qi, I believe that it will not take long to capture Youxian and capture Liu Qi alive."
"Huh? So Liu Qi was injured? Is it strict? Huang Can's face changed, and he hurriedly asked.
"Hehe, it's his fate, but he was shot in the shoulder, and the bow and arrow in the general's hand are never poisonous, so it is estimated that he will be fine after a few days of rest."
"Oh, I see, that's good. Do it. β
Huang Can's face sank, and he saw dozens of hardcover soldiers behind him immediately rush up and tie up Huang Zhong, who was caught off guard.
"Huang Can, are you crazy? Even the generals dare to tie up? Huang Zhong couldn't help but be furious, and then shouted.
But seeing a person walking out of behind Huang Can, he said with a smile: "It's not that he's crazy, but the general, you're crazy, you actually followed the rebel generals, and caused war and chaos for the people of Jingzhou without authorization, causing the lives to be miserable, and the people were disappointed. β
After Huo Jun finished speaking, he gave Huang Zhong a deep salute, and then waited quietly for his answer.
