Chapter 21 [Counting Changsha]
------------------------
The two generals urged the horse to extreme speed, rushed to kill each other, and waited until the horse's head was staggered, Huang Zhong's tiger eyes were terrifying, a big knife waved, preemptively, and directly took Zhou Han's waist, with Huang Zhong's ability, he knew that this knife could not be meritorious, it was just a temptation, seeing the knife that attacked, the corners of Zhou Han's mouth were slightly upturned, and a shallow smile appeared, and then his expression suddenly narrowed, a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and the halberd was stabbed out, and Huang Zhong's knife was opened with the halberd head concave part, and then a halberd was backhanded, and Huang Zhong's neck was taken directly with a crescent sprig, and Huang Zhong opened the halberd with a knife. At this time, the two horses staggered, and both of them realized that the other party really lived up to its reputation, but it was not easy to take down the other easily...
"General Zhou, General Zhou..."
"General Huang, General Huang..." The soldiers on both sides shouted one after another, cheering for their own generals, but Zhou Han brought fewer soldiers and horses, and his voice was completely covered by the other party, but some soldiers shouted with red faces and thick necks, and it seemed that they were hoarse, as for Fang Hua and the pro-guards, they were also among the shouting and cheering.
On Han Xuan's side, Han Xuan, who was in front of the military formation, saw that Huang Zhong could really block Zhou Han, so he made up his mind and hurriedly ordered: "Wei Yan! Go beat the drums and cheer for General Huang! ”
Wei Yan was indignant in his heart, as a general, he actually wanted to beat the drums, and he had already killed Han Xuan countless times in his heart, but there was no trace of discoloration on his face, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes... Taishou-sama! After the drums were really beaten, Han Xuan snorted coldly, and didn't look at Wei Yan at all, his eyes were fixed on the two sides of the fighting generals in the field...
At this time, Zhou Han also turned his horse's head and looked at Huang Zhong's gaze, and couldn't help but bring a trace of solemnity, "This veteran is worthy of being a famous general in history, and his martial arts are not much worse than Zhao Yun and others, but if you want to easily win the other party, it will take a lot of effort, but fortunately, I have made arrangements!" ”
Huang Zhong also had the same thoughts as Zhou Han in his heart at this time, and roared: "Come again!" After speaking, he took the lead and killed the other party again, Zhou Han smiled: "It is worthy of the Changsha barrier, it is really brave, but how can Han be afraid!" ”
After saying that, Zhou Han also killed the horse, this time the horse did not stagger by, the two generals on the horse, fighting for a while, let the horse gallop side by side, the second general on the horse, the knife came and went, the cheers continued, the sound of gold and iron from the weapons striking each other, made the soldiers on both sides dizzy...
Han Xuan and the others had never seen such a fierce fight, and the soldiers on both sides were also dumbfounded, forgetting to shout and cheer! Wei Yan also stopped beating the drum, his lips opened slightly, and he looked at the two sides of the fighting generals in a little surprise, he thought that his martial arts were not weak, and compared with the two sides who were fighting, he unconsciously dropped a level...
There was no more war drums, Han Xuan reacted and said angrily: "Wei Yan, don't continue to beat the drums!" If you can't hear the drums, and General Huang is frightened and defeated, ask you! ”
Wei Yan was furious in his heart, and he wanted to split Han Xuan's goods, but at this time, he was lowly and lowly and controlled by the other party, so he had to hold back his anger and continue to sweat like rain and beat the drums...
The sound of war drums resounded throughout the audience, Zhou Han and Huang Zhong fought for hundreds of rounds, regardless of victory or defeat, both sides were born and flattened, but they still couldn't help each other, and the fight was evenly divided, and the battle was equal...
Zhou Han sneered in his heart: "It's almost!" As soon as his heart fell, Zhou Han's sudden power of swinging the halberd gradually weakened, as if he was physically exhausted, and Huang Zhongyi, who had made a move with him, sensed this, and was overjoyed in his heart, knowing that if he won Zhou Han, then this battle would be won, so he swung the knife faster and more fiercely, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that Zhou Han seemed to have gradually lost to Huang Zhong!
After fighting for more than a dozen times, Zhou Han shook his halberd and shouted: "The veteran is really fierce, it's better to be cold!" ”
After saying that, Zhou Han beat his horse and fled, but he didn't return to his own position, but fled to the side of the confrontation between the two armies, and fled diagonally, where was Huang Zhong willing to give up this opportunity to capture Zhou Han, and shouted: "Zhou Han! Under the fame, he actually escaped. "After saying that, I also hit the horse and chased after him...
Zhou Han turned his back to Huang Zhong, beat his horse and fled, a sneer appeared on his face, and he didn't say a word about Huang Zhong's agitated words, but just played the chase with his head bored!
The two of them fled and chased, but after a while, they disappeared in the eyes of everyone, everyone was shocked, but neither side acted rashly, although Han Xuan's side had more soldiers and horses, but it was not as elite as Liu Jun, so the two sides confronted each other anxiously, waiting for the result of the fight... Looking at the direction in which the second general disappeared, Han Xuan was shocked, and at this time, Wei Yan, who stopped beating the drum, came to Han Xuan's side at some point, and said, "Zhou Han is cheating, Huang Zhong will be defeated!" ”
Han Xuan raised his eyebrows, and shouted in displeasure: "Wei Yan, if you make such unfavorable words to disturb the hearts of our army, I will behead you to fix the hearts of the army!" ”
Wei Yan didn't have a trace of fear on his face, but instead cast such a mediocre lord for himself, and laughed at himself, and said: "That Zhou Han is famous all over the world, how can he be defeated like this, you see, even if he loses the battle, why didn't Zhou Han flee to his own formation, but went to the side, it was obvious that there was a conspiracy!" ”
After listening to Wei Yan's analysis, Han Xuan thought about it calmly, knowing that what he said was not unreasonable, so he hurriedly ordered a team of people to look at the situation with him and help Huang Zhong...
On the other side, Zhou Han urged the horse to be unhurried, which was worthy of letting Huang Zhong chase after him, when passing a path, Zhou Han passed by safely, and when Huang Zhong wanted to pass by, there was a snap, the road was buried in the sand, and the stumbling horse rope was tense and pulled up, so suddenly stumbling so suddenly Huang Zhong had time to be careful, the mount was tripped and fell, and immediately Huang Zhong was unexpected, he was dizzy and turned to the gray face, at this time Zhou Han had already reversed, a halberd against Huang Zhong's neck, and said with a smile: "Old General Huang, how?" ”
The soldiers who were ambushed behind the mounds on both sides also came out and surrounded Huang Zhong, but Zhou Han didn't know when, he had ordered a team of soldiers to ambush here, waiting for Huang Zhong to chase after him, and then tripped his mount, so he captured the other party!
Huang Zhong's face was full of unwillingness, and he twisted his head and said in a tough tone: "Since you have been captured, please be killed, why say more!" ”
Zhou Han hurriedly ordered the soldiers to retreat, made way for Huang Zhong, and said sincerely: "Old General Huang, brave and loyal, how can Han be the wicked man who kills Zhongliang!" The old general's temperament, Han admired, so I asked the old general to go back, how about we say that we will win and lose again? ”
Huang Zhong's face flashed with surprise, and said, "You are willing to let me go back!" ”
Zhou Han smiled and said: "If it weren't for the trick, how could Han capture the old general, you and I will be divided again!" ”
Huang Zhong was sure that he had heard correctly, and after hugging his fist to Zhou Han, he led the horse away with a knife, but the scene where Zhou Han let Huang Zhong go was sent by Han Xuan, and a team of soldiers who were lying in the dark saw it...
When Huang Zhong returned to his own formation, it was obvious that Han Xuan had already known about the accident, and asked knowingly, "Old general, why do you look like this?" ”
Huang Zhong was ashamed to mention the capture, told a lie, and covered up: "Ma Jiu has been sparse in battle, so he stumbled and fell!" ”
"Oh" The muscles on Han Xuan's face twitched, and he looked noncommittal, not knowing what to think in his heart!
At this time, Zhou Han had already returned to the front of the army, and shouted majestically: "Han Taishou, Han advises you to surrender our army as soon as possible, but you can ensure that you do not lose your official position, otherwise the city will be broken, and you will fall to the ground!" ”
After saying that, Zhou Han ordered the soldiers and horses, slowly retreated, and stationed in the camp that had been set up...
Han Xuan looked at the retreating Liu Jun and was furious, but he knew that Zhou Han had killed one of his own generals, and Huang Zhong was unfavorable to the battle, which had a great impact on Yu Jun's heart, so he had to squeeze out two words from between his teeth with hatred: "Go back to the city!" ”
※※※※※※
"So so... And so and so on... You get the idea! ”
In Liu's camp, in the big tent, Zhou Han sat on the main seat and ordered a soldier, and the soldier nodded hurriedly: "Don't worry, the general knows what to do." ”
Seeing that the soldiers understood, Zhou Han said: "Act smartly, don't show flaws, if you succeed, you will be rewarded, and if you fail... You know the consequences! ”
Speaking of the back, a cold glint flashed in Zhou Han's eyes, which made the soldiers feel frightened and joking! That is today's fierce general, how can he not be shocked by his staring, and he hurriedly swore frankly: "The general can rest assured, the villain will complete the task." ”
Seeing the soldier say this, the serious expression on Zhou Han's face eased slightly, and he turned to concern: "Be careful." ”
"Yes" The soldier was busy, Zhou Han behaved like this, so that the soldier did not dare to have the slightest bad thought, stepped forward and took a letter, and the soldier respectfully retired...
Lifting the curtain of the tent, Fang Hua walked in, just in time to see the soldier about to go out of the tent, the soldier hurriedly saluted Fang Hua, indicating that he had seen it, and then carried the letter from Zhou Han and left the tent...
Seeing the soldiers leaving, Fang Hua took a few steps forward, saluted in front of Zhou Han, and then stood aside, stood with his hands tied and said respectfully: "The general's soldiers?" ”
Zhou Han smiled and said, "Fang Hua, tonight we can sit in Changsha City." ”
"Oh" Fang Hua was slightly surprised: "Why did the general say that, could it be related to the soldiers who went down just now?" ”
Zhou Han smiled mysteriously and said noncommittally: "What do you say?" ”
"This..."Fang Hua looked puzzled. Zhou Han laughed and said, "Fang Hua, go and prepare the soldiers and horses, and enter Changsha tonight." ”
"Yes." Although Fang Hua didn't know why, he still respectfully responded...
On the other side, the soldier with Zhou Han's letter, after leaving the big tent, quietly sneaked out of the Liu camp, ran straight to Changsha City, and shouted at the bottom of the city: "I am a soldier of Liu Ying, there is an important military aircraft, report to Han Taishou." Let me in. ”
The guards on the city wall looked at each other, not daring to make a decision, and a military marquis thought for a while, and said to a soldier: "You go and tell Lord Taishou." ”
"Yes" After the soldier received the order, the marquis shouted to his subordinates: "Your Excellency, wait for a while, and wait for Lord Ming Taishou to speak." The soldier of the Liu battalion promised not to say more...
After only a while, the military marquis got Han Xuan's order to let the soldier go over to see him, the military marquis ordered not to delay, let people put down the drawbridge, the soldier arrived at the city, but did not open the city gate, but put it down with a hanging basket, let the soldier stand on it, and then pull it up, it is really the Three Kingdoms version of the elevator! After all, during the war, Changsha City was already under martial law, but it was normal to be careful, not to mention that it was night at this time, and it was dark all around the city, and it was very easy for the enemy to sneak attack at night.
The soldier was like this, was taken into the county mansion, entered the hall, and saw Han Xuan sitting on the main seat, because it was late at night, most of the generals went to rest, so only Han Xuan and a master bookkeeper, the two met with the soldier who came unexpectedly from the Liu camp. The chief bookkeeper was a lean old man in his sixties, whose eyes shimmered shrewdly, and he looked at the soldier in the hall.
The soldier was neither humble nor arrogant to salute Han Xuan, and said, "Lord Taishou, the villain has a confidential letter to present to the adult, I wonder what reward the adult will have?" After saying that, the soldier showed a greedy color, which was extremely realistic and did not seem to be fake.
Han Xuan didn't reply, only glanced at the main book, the master book understood, and asked on behalf of Han Xuan: "Since it is a confidential letter, how can you get it?" Didn't Zhou Han send you to cheat! Hmm..."
The main book said that the fierce light flashed in his eyes behind him, and a soldier accidentally answered, so he asked someone to pull it and kill it...
The soldier looked calm and said with a smile: "If the adult can't trust the villain, then pull the villain to cut it off, his head has a big scar, but Changsha City is not guaranteed..." ”
The soldier stopped castrating and said, "What? Isn't this adult untrustworthy villain, does Han Taishou have anything else to say? ”
The master bookkeeper bowed down and whispered to Han Xuan: "Lord, looking at his expression, it doesn't seem to be a fake, such a flattering villain will not be sent by Zhou Han." ”
Han Xuan's eyes flickered, nodded, looked at the soldiers, and said, "You have a confidential letter, you can present it for a look!" ”
The soldier was not in a hurry to present the letter, but said unhurriedly: "The adult has not promised the villain, if you offer this secret, what will the adult reward the villain?" ”
Seeing the soldier's behavior like this, the slightest doubt in Han Xuan's heart disappeared, and he promised: "If the news is useful, it is not a problem to be crowned an official and a lord." ”
Hearing this, the soldier's joy was revealed: "Lord Taishou is indeed a wise lord. Saying that, the soldier took out the letter that Zhou Han handed him from his arms...
The main book went down and took the letter to Han Xuan, Han Xuan unfolded the letter, read it in a moment, slammed the letter on the table in front of him, and was furious, and said: "Huang Zhongxiaoer, dare to do this, treat him in vain!" ”
The master bookkeeper on the side was shocked, picked up the letter and looked at it, only to see that in the letter, Zhou Han and Huang Zhong agreed when to dedicate the city! Thinking that when Huang Zhong and Zhou Han talked to each other in front of the battle, like old friends for many years, they captured Huang Zhong alive, not only did not kill, but let the other party go, thinking of such various signs, Han Xuan still didn't know where he was almost betrayed by his subordinates, and he was furious at the moment!
The master bookkeeper advised: "The lord can order the soldiers to take advantage of the night to kill Huang Zhong's mansion, and kill them on the spot when they are unprepared, so that the internal trouble can be solved." ”
Han Xuanyun immediately sent his henchmen, wanting to go straight to the Huang Mansion and kill Huang Zhong by surprise, as for the soldier who Liu Ying came to offer secrets, he took advantage of Han Xuan's busy planning to kill Huang Zhong, and he didn't know where to run, and Han Xuan naturally didn't pay too much attention to a nobody, he was more concerned about solving Huang Zhong's internal trouble as soon as possible...
"What! Han Xuan sent soldiers and horses to besiege the Huang Mansion! In the military tent, Wei Yan stood up in disbelief when he heard the news, and several captains in the tent were people who had a good relationship with him, and one of them said: "Yes, just now my brother came to report the news." ”
Although Wei Yan didn't know why Han Xuan did this, he had long been unhappy with Han Xuan, and now in his eyes, this mediocre lord actually wanted to kill the prestige Old General Huang! How could Wei Yan agree, his face flashed fiercely at the moment, and he said decisively: "Han Xuan is mediocre, Liu Jun is a benevolent and righteous army, Changsha will be obtained by Liu Jun sooner or later, why don't I just turn against Han Xuan and sacrifice the city and Zhou Han." ”
Several captains had long been dissatisfied with Han Xuan, a tyrannical lord, and said in unison: "I am willing to listen to the general's dispatch." ”
Seeing that several people expressed their positions, Wei Yan no longer hesitated anything, and ordered one group of men and horses to go to the Huang Mansion to rescue Huang Zhong, while he led another group of men and horses to enter the county government, and was bound to kill Han Xuan, the faint master, and then open the city to surrender to Liu Jun.
Outside the city, Liu Yingzhong...
Zhou Han put his hands behind his back, standing outside the tent and looking at the city, at this time Changsha City was already full of gunsmoke, obviously there was a rebellion inside, Fang Hua behind him already knew Zhou Han's plan at this time, and when he saw that it was as Zhou Han expected, he couldn't help but praise: "The general's letter made Changsha City chaotic, and it was really clever." ”
Zhou Han couldn't see a trace of discoloration on the surface, and said slowly: "It's just a trick to carve insects!" Now that the city is in chaos, the garrison must be weak, and the opportunity to attack the city has arrived! Let's go! ”
"Yes" Fang Hua had already been ordered, arranged the soldiers and horses, and then Zhou Han personally led the army, taking the opportunity to approach the city, the attention of the soldiers defending the city was attracted by the civil strife in the city, and they didn't realize that the enemy army had arrived at the city, and when Liu Jun took a simple wooden ladder and killed the city, the guards had no intention of fighting, and the city gate was easily taken down by Liu Jun, Zhou Han led the army into the city, and met Wei Yan, who had killed Han Xuan and came to surrender, Zhou Han appeased, Han Xuan died, and the soldiers of Changsha City naturally surrendered to Liu Jun, and since then Zhou Han has successfully taken the city, On the one hand, he ordered a soldier to go to Wuling to report to Liu Bei, and on the other hand, he rectified the Changsha soldiers and waited for Liu Bei to come over, after all, a fierce general of Lao Huang Zhong's level could only be invited if Liu Bei came over in person, and some internal affairs had to be handled by Liu Bei...
