When Liu Ze led the army to Changsha City, the battle had already ended, and Liu Ze ordered him to camp outside Changsha City and encircle Changsha. However, Liu Zechuan ordered the troops to besiege but not attack, but only cut off the connection between Changsha City and the outside world, and did not attack Changsha City for the time being.

Zhao Yun and Xu Rong all went to the king's tent to report the battle situation and describe the details. Liu Ze is still most concerned about Huang Zhong's whereabouts, Xu Rong is the last to fight Huang Zhong, and after defeating Huang Zhong, he also sent scouts to follow and detect, and grasp Huang Zhong's latest movements.

It turned out that Huang Zhonglian had fought several defeats, lost his troops and suffered heavy losses, and now the remnants of the army were less than 2,000 people, and fled to the southeast to the vicinity of Liling, in a dilemma.

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan in his hand, and said with a smile: "Today, Huang Zhong has been defeated by our army, and he is not seen in Han Xuan, it is already a dilemma. ”

Liu Ze said with some concern: "Huang Zhong lost his wife and children at the beginning, and he was defeated, he must have been extremely depressed, Kong Ming went at this time, maybe Huang Zhong will be angry with you, don't ask about the indiscriminate, kill people to vent his anger, there will be a worry about his life when he goes, Kong Ming can not go to danger lightly." "Dafan generals, among them there are some rude and irritable people, although Huang Zhong is good-tempered compared to Zhang Fei, but the pain of losing his wife and children must make him lose his mind, and it is not surprising to make some radical moves, Zhuge Liang proposed to persuade Huang Zhong to surrender, Liu Ze was very worried about Zhuge Liang's safety, so he did not agree to go.

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and said: "Huang Zhong's wife and children were killed by Han Xuan and Huang Ling. Huang Zhong must hate these two of them, and going at this time is a great opportunity to recruit Huang Zhong, Huang Zhong is stationed in Liling at this time, that is, he is unwilling, and wants to avenge his wife and children, otherwise he would have gone south to Guiyang East to vote for Sun Quan. However, Han Xuan has a large number of soldiers and horses, and the possibility of Huang Zhong wanting to return to Changsha with the defeat of the remnants of the army is zero, not to mention that the Liling land is thin and sparsely populated, and the two or three thousand remnants of Huang Zhong may not be able to support Liling alone. Liang went this time. Chen said that he was powerful, moved with affection, and understood with reason, and was afraid that Huang Zhong would not surrender? ”

Liu Ze was still a little uneasy. "That being said. But Huang Zhong lost his wife and children. The mood is in turmoil, but anything can be done, and you can't take this risk no matter what. ”

Zhuge Liang chuckled and said, "Didn't the lord forget what his surname was?" ”

Liu Ze was only slightly stunned. I immediately understood, Zhuge Liang's wife is Huang Yueying, the father-in-law is Huang Chengyan, the Huang family is a prominent family in Jingzhou, Huang Chengyan and Huang Zhong are both from the Yellow Gate, although they are far away, but in terms of branch ranking, Huang Chengyan and Huang Zhong are clan brothers, Zhuge Liang can also be regarded as Huang Zhong's niece and son-in-law, even if Huang Zhong is angry, it is impossible to embarrass a descendant. Zhuge Liang also wanted to rely on this layer of relationship to persuade Huang Zhong to surrender. So Liu Ze also agreed to Zhuge Liang's suggestion, and Zhuge Liang immediately set off for Liling.

Liling is in the mountainous area of eastern Xiangdong, where the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Huang Zhong chose to set up camp here, and it is precisely because of this value. However, due to the bad relationship with Han Xuan, Huang Zhong's army's grain and grass baggage and logistics supplies were completely cut off, and the army would be disorganized if there was no food, but in a poor area like Liling, it was extremely difficult for Huang Zhong to raise enough grain and grass, but if he wanted to leave the Changsha territory and let go of the blood and sea of hatred, Huang Zhong would not be able to do it anyway.

As soon as Huang Zhong closed his eyes, the tragic death of his beloved son Huang Xu appeared in front of his eyes, and the desperate cry of the child before his death stimulated every nerve of Huang Zhong.

But Huang Zhong knew better in his heart that with his current strength, it was not enough to deal with Han Xuan, Huang Ling and others, and he was in a dilemma in Liling.

Just when Huang Zhong was at a loss, the small colonel guarding the gate came to report: "Captain Qi, please see one person outside the camp!" ”

"Who is asking to see?" Huang Zhong is very surprised, he has fallen into this step, and there are still people willing to visit, which is really strange.

"The person who came claimed to be Zhuge Liang."

"Zhuge Liang?" Huang Zhong muttered to himself, Huang Zhong knew that Zhuge Liang was now working as a strategist under Liu Ze, and there would definitely be nothing good when Zhuge Liang came at this time. Huang Zhong's face changed suddenly, and he transferred twenty sword and axe men into the account, ten people on each side, and the steel knife was clearly lit up, and shouted: "Take Zhuge Liang!" ”

Zhuge Liang soon came to Huang Zhong's tent under the guidance of the little school, Zhuge Liang looked at it coldly, Huang Zhong's face was as cold as ice, and the knife and axe hands on both sides were even more murderous. Zhuge Liang was not afraid, and stepped forward calmly as if he was strolling leisurely, with a calm and elegant face.

"The junior Zhuge Liang has seen Huang Duwei."

Huang Zhong glanced at Zhuge Liang coldly, and said: "Brother Chengyan, my father-in-law, has a brotherhood with a certain brotherhood, if you come to talk about relatives today, Huang will treat each other politely, if you are here to be a lobbyist for Liu Ze, hum ......"

Zhuge Liang smiled indifferently and said, "So what?" ”

Huang Zhong pointed to the twenty sword and axe men under his tent, and said coldly: "If you dare to say a word of persuasion to surrender, you will definitely become a pile of meat puree!" ”

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and laughed: "The two countries exchanged troops, and they didn't kill the envoys, Huang Duwei first put down the knife and axe in the tent, is it the way of hospitality?" ”

Huang Zhong said with a cold face: "Huang is thanks to your lord Liu Ze, his wife and children died in Changsha City, and thousands of sons and daughters who followed Huang were also lost more than half. If you want to persuade me to surrender to Liu Ze today, you can first try whether my sword is sharp? ”

Zhuge Liang smiled indifferently and said: "Since you dare to come, don't you know the benefits of Huang Duwei's sword?" It's a pity that although this sword is good, it is very similar to Xiang Yu's sword in Wujiang in the past. ”

Xiang Yu killed himself in Wujiang that year, and Zhuge Liang mentioned this matter, clearly alluding to Huang Zhong's fate like Xiang Yu. When Huang Zhong heard this, his face changed suddenly, and he said angrily: "Zhuge Kongming, Huangkou Xiao'er, if I hadn't looked at the face of Brother Chengyan, my father-in-law, I would have let your head fall to the ground before I could enter the account!" Clever tongue, but I want to learn from Su Qin Zhangyi, but the old man has eaten more salt than you have eaten, and he has walked more bridges than you have walked. ”

As he spoke, Huang Zhong pulled his sword out of its sheath, and the cold light suddenly skyrocketed by several feet, and the sharp blade rested directly on Zhuge Liang's neck. (To be continued......)
