Chapter 41: Huang Zhong
The night was already thick, and due to Dong Zhuo's curfew, the usually noisy street had been immersed at this time.
Except for the unstoppable east wind still blowing strongly, there was no sound in front of the mountain and behind the mountain, and even the Xiliang soldiers who were patrolling the night no longer came out, just cowered in the thick felt to avoid the cold.
A lone lamp with a dim candlelight slipped through the crack in the window of a grass hut, and the foot stove in the room was filled with burning charcoal, which crackled and popped from time to time, adding a faint touch of popularity to the sleepy night.
At this time, a resolute-faced man in the grass house was sitting awe-inspiringly, bored and fiddling with the charcoal fire in the basin, and from time to time let out a long sigh, and the faint fire in the basin reflected on his face, which made the sad face particularly awe-inspiring.
Behind him was a low couch, on which lay a middle-aged man, who was wrapped in strips of white cloth in five or six places all over his body, apparently injured. There was a little redness in his slightly pale face, and a peaceful breath slowly erupted from his nose, and it was no longer a big deal.
"Ahem"
Suddenly, a middle-aged man's cough came from the bed.
The middle-aged man heard the coughing sound coming from the bed, stood up suddenly, and quickly walked to the low couch, seeing the middle-aged man's eyes slightly open, and his joy was overflowing: "Jia Gongcao, you are awake"
Jia Xu looked at the prime of life in front of him, and saw that this prime of life was born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, eight feet tall, swallow jaws and tiger eyes, the head could not be reviewed, the clothes could not be left alone, and he looked majestic, so he was not mighty and domineering.
Jia Xu was secretly surprised in his heart, and asked, "Dare to ask the name of the strong man." ”
The prime man grinned: "A certain name is Huang Zhong, Zi Hansheng"
After Jia Xu listened, he propped up the bed with his elbows and sat up slowly, Huang Zhong saw this and hurriedly took a futon and put it behind Jia Xu, Jia Xu smiled at him gratefully, and asked, "Where is this, how is the strong man here?" ”
Huang Zhong hurriedly said: "Don't dare to hide from Jia Gongcao, I was the captain of the guard under the Niu Fu tent, when I was patrolling in front of the camp today, I saw Gongcao being carried back by an old horse, at that time Gongcao you were seriously injured and fell into a coma, I originally wanted to call the Luoyang City doctor to come to treat Gongcao's injury, but it happened that a certain family wanted to go back to Nanyang, so I wanted to send Mr. to Luoyang for treatment first, when I walked halfway, there was an old man hanging a pot on the side of the road to help the world, which old man was the injured for Gongcao, and then placed Gongcao in this grass house, fortunately Gongcao was fine. ”
After Jia Xu heard this, he immediately bowed to Huang Zhong and thanked: "Thank you for the strong man"
Huang Zhong hurriedly waved his hand: "For such a gesture, why do you need to thank Gong Cao, since Gong Cao is no longer in trouble, he will return to Nanyang tomorrow."
Jia Xu frowned and said, "I heard that the strong man is a lieutenant under General Niu Fu, why did he go to Nanyang?" ”
After hearing this, Huang Zhong shook his head helplessly, and sighed in disappointment: "I was originally a subordinate of General Xia Mou, the captain of the Left Army, General Xia Mu voted for Dong Zhuo, and naturally came to serve in the Xiliang Army, and was assigned to Niu Fu to be a guard captain. I heard that Liu Biao was recruiting talents in Jingzhou, and he was disheartened and ready to abandon his official position and return to Nanyang. ”
After Jia Xu heard this, he already had a plan in his heart: "This life is so majestic, and his martial arts must be good, why don't you say that he took refuge in Fengxian"
At that moment, Jia Xu smiled weakly: "Why should Hansheng be willing to go far, it is better for me to give you a place to go." ”
After Huang Zhong heard this, his eyebrows suddenly raised: "Sir, please speak clearly"
Jia Xu glanced at Huang Zhong meaningfully, and said, "Lu Bu"
"Lu Bu?" After Huang Zhong heard this, he was slightly surprised, he had heard of this Lu Bu, this person was brave and conquered the state, first broke Xianbei, the Yellow Turban, and the people of Montenegro, and then Ding Yuan fought with Dong Zhuo, he single-handedly entered the Xiliang army, and the Xiliang army was heartbroken. So for Lu Bu, he still knows a thing or two, and his bravery is estimated to be inferior to him.
However, Huang Zhong immediately frowned and said, "Wasn't Mr. arrested by Lu Bu?" And I was injured, why did Mr. ask me to go to Lu Bu again? ”
Jia Xu smiled, and just said slowly: "Bitter meat trick, if you don't use the bitter meat trick, how can you return to the Xiliang camp." ”。
When Huang Zhong heard this, he was shocked and tried to ask, "Why is Mr. Lu Bu like this?" Could it be that the plotter, Xiliang Junhu? ”
Jia Xu looked at Huang Zhong and smiled, he saw that Huang Zhong should be a reliable person, if not, how could he send himself, a person who had nothing to do with him at all, and was in a small position, to seek medical treatment, and he was bright, his face was neat, and he looked like loyalty.
Jia Xu took the hot water handed over by Huang Zhong, blew away the rising heat, and after taking a sip, he slowly spoke: "The one who plots is also the world."
Huang Zhong was quite moved when he heard this, as a soldier, he didn't want to be able to seal his wife and son, and shine on the lintel, but unfortunately, I was afraid that Li Guang would be difficult to seal it when the time came.
Thinking of sealing his wife and shadow, Huang Zhong's mood suddenly fell into a slump, and he shook his head self-deprecatingly, he has no wife and no children, what is he talking about sealing his wife and shadow.
It turned out that four years ago, Huang Zhong's only son Huang Xu died of a vicious illness, and a year later, his wife also died, so when he received He Jin's call, he resolutely joined the army, wanting to relieve the pain in his heart by killing the enemy on the battlefield.
Seeing that Huang Zhong was in a low mood, Jia Xu consciously shut up, drank by himself, and a glass of water had bottomed out in a short time.
I don't know how long it took, Huang Zhong said with a straight face: "Then so-and-so will go to see how Lu Bu is, if he is not a hero, he will return to Nanyang when the time comes." ”。
Huang Zhong paused, still a little confused: "The Bingzhou camp is heavily guarded, how can I see Lu Bu." ”
After hearing this, Jia Xu said with a smile: "Han Sheng can wait on the official road between Luoyang and Bishui Pass tomorrow, if I expect it to be correct, Lu Bu will lead the army to appear tomorrow, and when Han Sheng shows his martial arts slightly, then Lu Bu will treat him personally." ”
Huang Zhong's brows immediately stretched, and he hugged his fists at Jia Xu and said, "Thank you, Mr. for your advice."
Jia Xu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Since I serve Lu Bu as the master, it is my responsibility to recommend you to him, I only hope that in the future, Hansheng can kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, and make immortal achievements." ”
When Huang Zhong heard this, he immediately thanked Jia Xu, and then in the next few hours, Jia Xu did not continue to talk about the issue of taking refuge in Lu Bu, but intentionally or unintentionally talked about some gossip, from Bingfa and Qimen Dunjia to the history of national politics and famous things. Huang Zhong has been a teacher from the strange people of the mountains and fields since he was a child, not only learned a good martial arts, but also learned some art of war.
In this way, Jia Xu and Huang Zhong talked directly about the late night break. Seeing that Jia Xu's eyes were already drowsy, Huang Zhong quit Jia Xu and stood at the door with a long knife in his hand, protecting Jia Xu from sleeping. Until dawn the next day.
The author lamented that the world is impermanent and unpredictable, if Lu Bu did not convince Jia Xu, Jia Xu would not have resorted to the "bitter meat plan", if Jia Xu had not used the bitter meat trick, he would not have met Huang Zhong, who killed Cao Cao's general Xiahou Yuan in the previous life. Everything is providential, and providential is also dictated.
