Arrows are like flying locusts, and they stop in an instant. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At this time, Cao Zhen had already been shot into a hedgehog, but his body was still majestic, his eyes were looking straight ahead, and blood was flowing from every arrow hole on his body.

This description shocked the soldiers who shot him, and no one dared to step forward.

Steady footsteps sounded in the corridor, and the soldiers consciously moved out of the way, and Lu Meng slowly stepped forward and walked to the frozen Cao Zhen.

Although Lu Meng's face was like a peaceful lake, the person in front of him, his death, still shocked his heart.

'Cao Zhen, you are a hero, but heroes always don't end well. Your time is over, so go with peace of mind. ’

Lu Meng stretched out his hand and closed Cao Zhen's eyes that were open angrily, and then, with a gentle push, the body that had been pierced by countless arrows immediately fell to the ground.

A few days later, the news of Cao Zhen's death quickly spread throughout the Qingxu area, hearing the news, the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses who followed Cao Zhen to surrender to Wu immediately dispersed, and the rest of the tens of thousands of Wu soldiers under the command of Cao Zhen immediately surrendered to Ma Dai and Guan Xing, the generals of Qingzhou of the Han State.

A few days later, the Han army commanded by Fang Shao successfully accepted Pengcheng, Xiaopei and other important military towns, and then entered Xuzhou's administrative office.

In Xiapi, Fang Shao appeased all the surrendered Wu generals, including Lü Meng, with great kindness, and announced on the spot that all civil and military officials in Wu who had given up resistance would remain in their original positions, and that the imperial court would only station some troops in some strategic places to ensure security and stability after the surrender.

For the more than 100,000 Wu troops surrendered by Qingxu, Fang Shao chose their elite to be incorporated into the Han army, and the rest were ordered to unload their armor and return to the field. In fact, it is to remove their military identity, so that they are completely only Tian Ke as the commander of the army.

After spending more than ten days to pacify Qingxu's front line, Fang Shaozi led 60,000 elites from Xuzhou to the south and quickly rushed to Jianye, because he knew that only by taking over Jianye could he truly complete the control of Wu.

When Fang Shao rushed to Jianye steadily, Huang Zhong, who guarded Jianye, was like a year.

Sun has been operating in Jiangdong for many years, although Sun Quan lives a luxurious life, but it has not reached the point of fainting monarch, so although Sun Quan has surrendered, there are still many people who are not satisfied in Wu land, and there are many indigenous heroes in Wu County, Huiji and other places who openly gather troops to defend themselves and refuse to surrender to Han.

In this regard, Huang Zhong had no other way, he only had less than 5,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and it was a problem to even hold Jianye City, how could he dare to divide his troops to pacify those rebel forces. All Huang Zhong could do now was to hope that those rebel forces would not be twisted into a rope and join forces to attack Jianye, and then begging Fang Shao's army to quickly cross the river to meet him.

It's not that Huang Zhong doesn't have the confidence to keep Jianye, but that he begins to lose confidence in his body.

Zhou Tai's slash brought an unimaginable blow to Huang Zhong, and in less than half a month, Huang Zhong was already dying, and he felt hopeless.

Huang Zhong knew that his limit was approaching, but he held on to the last strength of his life and held on to prevent himself from falling. For him, every day is suffering from unprecedented illness, and it is almost worse than death.

Finally, in the early morning of one day, Huang Zhong was at the head of Jianye City and saw a large number of warships with Han military clans on the river crossing towards the south bank.

Fang Shao's army has finally arrived.

Tens of thousands of troops crossed the river one after another, and when it was confirmed that the person who came was indeed Fang Shao, Huang Zhong, who was in his seventies, almost cried with joy. At this moment, his spirit suddenly lifted a lot, and the pain seemed to have weakened, and he personally went out of the north gate of Jianye to greet Fang Shao's arrival.

Fang Shao drove his horse slowly, and saw the majestic veteran standing at the gate of the city from a distance, looking forward to this side of the avenue.

"It's General Huang."

Fang Shao's face showed his liking, rode his horse quickly, and when he was not close, he rolled the saddle and dismounted, and looked at Huang Zhong is deep bow: "Old General Huang has achieved this miraculous feat, so that how many living beings have been saved from suffering, Shao has thanked the old general for the world." ”

Huang Zhong was stunned at first, and then hurriedly helped Fang Shao up: "Da Sima is like this, it really torments Huang Zhong." The world Li Shu wants to thank Da Sima and should thank Da Sima, and the battle to destroy Wu relies on Da Sima to strategize from beginning to end, and Zhong is just ordered to carry it out. ”

Fang Shao laughed and walked into Jianye City with Huang Zhong's hand.

I still remember that the last time I came to Jianye, Emperor Zhaowu was still there, and the place where he was based was just a corner of Jingchu. More than ten years later, revisiting the old place, Fang Shao really had indescribable feelings.

However, what made Fang Shao feel the most was the majestic and magnificent palace in Zicheng, not to mention its inherent prosperity, just the majesty that could not be seen at a glance was not inferior to the palaces of Chang'an and Yecheng.

With the place where Wu is avoided, but such a large-scale palace is built, Sun Quan seems to be a poor and extravagant person, the founder of the country is like this, Wu Guoyan can not be destroyed.

"What about Sun Zhongmou?" Fang Shao thought of the king of the dead country, his eldest brother.

"Locked up in the palace of Zicheng, I didn't snub him." Huang Zhong knew the relationship between Sun Quan and Fang Shao, and he had always treated Sun Quan very well.

"Take me to meet him, he's an old man."

Huang Zhong took Fang Shao to the place of detention, and he retired first and personally organized a reception banquet in the evening.

When I opened the door of the palace, I saw the spirited Sun Quan at a glance, at this moment, the once beautiful lord of Jiangdong was completely gone, and the rest was just a sloppy captive.

"Brother Zhongmou, I haven't seen you for many years, don't come unharmed." Fang Shao greeted with a smile.

Fang Shao's words actually didn't mean anything else, but when Sun Quan heard it, it implied ridicule and disdain.

Once upon a time, when he faced Fang Shao, who was the envoy to Eastern Wu, he always had a lofty posture, but now he has become a prisoner of the order, so how can he face the victor in front of him.

After a long time, Sun Quan's shame eased, and he held back for a while before he said silently: "Little sister, is he okay?" ”

It was rare that Sun Quan would still think of his sister Sun Shangxiang, Fang Shao moved to sit down, and said lightly: "Ah Xiang, she has always been very good, and your nephew is also very good, you can meet when you have the chance." ”

Fang Shao's peace made Sun Quan's shame dissipate a little, and he dared to raise his head at this time, looked at his brother-in-law, and sighed: "It's really unpredictable, we will meet again in such an capacity, Zhongzheng, you really have no mercy on my uncle." ”

Fang Shao said with a smile: "It's just a different position, if it's Brother Zhongmou who laughs last, it is estimated that I should be the one who said this." ”

Sun Quan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and smiled bitterly: "You're right, it's just a different position." However, if I have the last laugh, I can guarantee that you and Ah Xiang will never be harmed in any way. ”

Sun Quan's words actually hinted at another thing, Fang Shao naturally wouldn't fail to hear it, so he said bluntly: "Brother Zhongmou, rest assured, the world is established, all grievances and hatreds are gone, I can also make a guarantee, the Sun family will have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime." ”

In this way, Huang Zhong also said it before, but in Sun Quan's opinion, Huang Zhong was not so qualified to protect the Sun family, and now that he heard Fang Shao's assurance, a hanging heart fell to the ground.

The last wish was fulfilled, but Sun Quan was relieved a lot at this moment, and a few rare smiles appeared in his eyebrows.

"Take care of your body, if you want to open a little, you will go to Chang'an in a few days, you still have a long way to go, and you will meet again when you have a chance."

Fang Shao comforted him a few words, then got up and left.

Sun Quan looked at the distant back, and suddenly thought in his heart, if he had been ruthless and slaughtered this kid, or would he be forever detained in Jiangdong, would the ending still be like this?

The door of the main hall was closed in Sun Quan's thoughts.

In the evening, a grand banquet was held in Jianye.

Participating in the banquet were not only the former generals of the Han State who came with Fang Shao, but also many old generals of the Wu State, although their moods were not the same, but the atmosphere of the banquet was quite positive.

The protagonists of this celebration banquet are naturally Fang Shao, the commander of the Eastern Route Army, and Huang Zhong, who attacked Jianye.

The generals present, whether they were generals of the Han State or ministers who surrendered to the country, naturally toasted and praised these two people in turn, some from within, and some of them were done as a last resort.

However, these are not important, Huang Zhong at this moment is at the peak, he is relaxed physically and mentally, enjoying everyone's praise, drinking glass after glass of wine, full of ambition, full of color.

After a few rounds of drinking, Huang Zhong's face was already red and drunk.

At this time, Fang Shao's face was also wine red, but his interest was still undiminished, he raised his glass and laughed loudly: "Everyone, our old general Huang, with a seventy body, floated thousands of miles into the sea, and achieved this immortal feat, such an unprecedented miraculous feat, it is really the first person in the past and present. Come, let's raise a glass together and pay tribute to this first person in ancient and modern times. ”

The generals roared, and more than 100 people all toasted each other, and for a while, the atmosphere of the banquet reached its climax.

At this time, Huang Zhong was already immersed in the ocean of praise, and when he saw this, he was not humble, and he drank all the high glass of wine with joy.

"Hahaha-" Huang Zhong drank happily, stroked his beard and laughed, laughing for a while before stopping.

Fang Shao didn't feel too energetic, staggered down the main seat with a wine glass, came to Huang Zhong's face, and said with a smile: "Old general, we are not drunk today, come, I will toast you again." ”

Huang Zhong on the seat did not respond, the whole person maintained a bearded and smiling expression, and froze there motionlessly, as if he had become a statue.

Fang Shao shouted a few more times, but Huang Zhong still didn't move.

At this time, Fang Shao suddenly felt that something was wrong, his heart sank suddenly, he slowly approached with apprehension, stretched out his finger tremblingly, and tried Huang Zhong's snort.

After a while, the joy on Fang Shao's face faded, and it was replaced by a bit of sadness.

After being silent for a long time, Fang Shao said silently: "Old General Huang has gone." ”
