When the archers of the Jing army heard the order, they immediately opened their bows and arrows and looked at Huang Zhong's boat to shoot them.

Huang Zhong's operation this time was originally a sneak attack, preparing to carry out a decapitation operation, so he did not lead a large group of men and horses at all, just brought a death squad of hundreds of people, took two clippers, went ashore to carry out a surprise attack, and failed to succeed in one blow, Huang Zhong knew that once he fell into the siege of the enemy, it would be difficult to get out, so he decisively evacuated and boarded the ship.

But Huang Zhong ignored an important detail, that is, the chasing soldiers rode horses, and the momentum was extremely fast, and the boat was on the riverside, even if it was desperately rowing, it was determined that it would not be able to escape the range of the bow and arrow in a short time, and thousands of feather arrows were aimed at the two fast boats, and on the river, the two ships became the target of the public, and under the arrows like rain, it was almost difficult to escape. Huang Zhong brandished his broadsword and swept down the feathered arrows that shot at him.

Huang Zhong's martial arts are extraordinary, a big knife dance is so impenetrable that the water cannot be splashed, and the wind is impermeable, but the soldiers around him are not as lucky as him, and they fall down one by one under the rain of arrows like a downpour. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer soldiers, Huang Zhong was so anxious that he urged him to hurry up and row the boat, and be sure to escape out of the range of his bow and arrows first.

Xu Rong saw that Huang Zhong was about to escape out of range, hated that there was no warship to chase, and was very angry, when he suddenly saw the reinforcements of the rocket soldiers coming, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered the rocket soldiers to shoot him with a bow, and laughed: "Huang Hansheng, I will send you to heaven today!" ”

Rockets are a first-class weapon against warships, once the warship is ignited, on the water, there is almost no chance of escape, Xu Rong saw that ordinary bows and arrows could not hurt Huang Zhong, so he wanted to shoot it with rockets. Take Huang Zhong's life.

Liu Ze stretched out his hand to stop the rocket soldiers, Xu Rong was surprised, and said, "Why did the lord want to let Huang Zhong go?" ”

Liu Ze smiled and said nothing, just looked at the river, Huang Zhong had escaped out of the range of the bow and arrow, and ordered the troops to return to the camp.

As soon as he returned to the tent, Zhuge Liang came to ask for a meeting, and Liu Ze invited him into the tent and said, "What is the matter with Kong Ming?" ”

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and said: "The lord has the intention to recruit Huang Zhong, but Liang has a plan to offer." ”

Liu Ze said deliberately: "Huang Zhong almost took my life. Why should I surrender to him? ”

Zhuge Liang chuckled and said, "The lord didn't let the rocket shoot." The subordinates were merciful, if they didn't want to recruit Huang Zhong, why bother. The lord is thirsty for talent, this Huang Hansheng is the number one general in Jingnan. How does Liang not know the heart of the lord and the virtuous? ”

Liu Ze smiled and said, "Kong Ming, who knows me." It's just that these two armies are facing each other. Huang Zhong served Han Xuan. How light yì willing to fall? ”

Zhuge Liang said: "This matter is easy to hear, although Huang Zhong is superb in martial arts and skilled in arching horses, but as far as Liang knows. Huang Zhong has a straightforward personality, is a decent person, jealous and hateful, and he can't see the flattery of the people, and he has a lot of discord with Huang Ling. Huang Ling is insidious and greedy for bribes, so the lord can send someone to Changsha secretly to lobby Huang Ling, and Huang Ling will give slander to Han Xuanjin and summon Huang Zhong back to Changsha. Huang Zhong has not made an inch of achievements in Luo County, and he will refuse to accept the life of the monarch outside, so that Han Xuan will definitely be born, and the main suspect that the ministers will die. The lord can send an army to detour through Liu Yang and take Changsha directly from the east road, which is a suspicious soldier, and only let Huang Zhong know and not march into Changsha. Huang Zhong suspected that Changsha was missing, so he would definitely return to the army to rescue Changsha. The lord can send people to spread rumors in Changsha, saying that Huang Zhong has already surrendered to the enemy, and this time the return of the army is to defraud Changsha, Han Xuan is suspicious, and will not let Huang Zhong return to Changsha, Huang Zhong is in a dilemma, except to surrender to the lord, I am afraid there is no second way to go. ”

Liu Ze nodded and said, "It's really a good plan." At that moment, he secretly sent a person who could speak well and went to Changsha with a generous gift to ask to see Huang Ling.

When Huang Ling heard that it was a messenger sent by Liu Ze, he treated him very arrogantly. "Isn't Liu Ze menacing, why did he send you to see this official, what does this mean?"

The envoy said: "My king originally intended to conquer Jingnan, but Cao Cao was ready to invade Xiangyang, so he had to return to the army to rescue. ”

Huang Ling was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked Cao Cao to send troops to rescue him, but now Cao Cao really has to go to Xiangyang, which is a great achievement of Huang Ling, so he said proudly: "Sure enough, as expected by this official, Liu Ze has committed my Changsha with strong soldiers and strong horses, and you must know that there are still people who can cure him in this world, go back and tell your master, Changsha has my Huang Ling, he doesn't want to drink Xiangjiang water." ”

The envoy smiled and said: "Cao Cao wants to enter Xiangyang, but it is just a rumor, this time my lord retreated back to Jingzhou, Changsha people may only think that Huang Zhong has a meritorious role in blocking Luo County, the first merit of this retreat, naturally Huang Zhong is the only one, Huang Juncheng is afraid that he made a wedding dress for others." ”

Huang Ling's face changed suddenly when he heard this, what the envoy said was not false at all, Cao Cao has not yet entered Xiangyang, Liu Ze only secretly got the news that Cao Cao wanted to enter the army and hurriedly retreated, so that Han Xuan and the people of Changsha would think that it was Huang Zhong who had a meritorious role in blocking Luo County to force Liu Ze to retreat, and it was originally his Huang Ling's credit, but it all fell on Huang Zhong's body, which made him Huang Ling how willing, and the relationship between Huang Ling and Huang Zhong was not harmonious, such an adult beauty thing, Huang Ling could not do it anyway.

The envoy saw that Huang Ling's expression was extremely ugly, and knew that he would definitely have bad thoughts in his heart, so he didn't say anything more, offered a generous gift, and arched his hand: "My king will retire in the near future, and a few gifts are not a tribute, please Huang Juncheng smiled and accepted it, and it was convenient to speak in front of Han Taishou." Then he took his leave.

Although Huang Ling is greedy for money, he is also absent-minded at this time, he has no intention of counting the gifts, he thinks left and right, fidgeting, since Liu Ze's withdrawal is imminent, then Huang Zhong can't be allowed to grab the first merit in any case, and if he wants to stop Huang Zhong from making meritorious contributions, the top priority is to find a way to transfer Huang Zhong back to Changsha, so that the great merit of retiring Liu Ze will not fall on Huang Zhong's head.

Thinking of this section, Huang Ling immediately went to the Taishou Mansion to see Han Xuan, and asked Han Xuan to order Huang Zhong to be transferred back to Changsha.

Han Xuan was very strange, Huang Zhong had a meritorious role in resisting the enemy in Luo County, and Liu Ze's army had never been able to cross the Miluo River, so why did Huang Zhong come back at this time?

Huang Ling actually didn't have a very good explanation, and at this time he didn't dare to say that Liu Ze was ready to withdraw from the army, so he had to make up a set of rhetoric to slander Huang Zhong. "Taishou Mingjian, there is news from outside, Huang Zhong does not think of retreating from the enemy in Luo County, and secretly corresponds with Liu Ze, plotting to surrender Liu Ze, but his asking price is too high and has not yet been negotiated, so he has not yet surrendered to the enemy, as long as Liu Ze promises to be a high-ranking official, Huang Zhong will inevitably lead the army to surrender to the enemy, and it is too good to defend it."
