040. Veteran Huang Zhong
Liu Bei rode his horse and galloped towards Jiangling City, galloping for nearly half an hour or so, there was already a guard waiting outside the city gate, seeing Liu Bei's extraordinary appearance and a sense of freedom, the guard hurriedly stepped forward a few steps, and said softly: "Dare to ask if the person who came is Uncle Liu Huang?" ”
Liu Bei nodded lightly when he heard what the guards said, frowned, and said, "Who are you?" ”
"Uncle Liu Huang, his subordinate is Fu Juncheng's guard, and he is waiting for Uncle Liu Huang here." The guard explained slightly, and then hurriedly said: "Uncle Liuhuang, Lord Juncheng is already waiting for Uncle Liu Huang in the Taishou Mansion, you see?" ”
"Lead the way ......"
The guard's face flushed with joy when he heard this, and he hurriedly said, "Uncle Liuhuang, please come down with his subordinates." ”
Liu Bei nodded, urging the horse to follow the guards and slowly run towards the Jiangling City County Guard.
Jiangling City belongs to Nanjun, is the seat of Nanjun, Jiangling is located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, the west of the Jianghan Plain, the south of the Yangtze River, the north of the Han River, the west of Bashu, the south of Hunan and Guangdong, the ancient is the place where the soldiers must fight.
Therefore, Jiangling City has an extraordinary status in Jingzhou, it is one of the big cities of Jingzhou, with tens of thousands of heavy soldiers guarding, nothing else, just because Jiangling City has gathered most of Jingzhou's materials, ordnance, and money......
A few years ago, Jiangling was originally the seat of Jingzhou, but Liu Biao chose Xiangyang after sitting in Jingzhou, and moved to Xiangyang to vigorously develop Jingbei, and Jiangling became the treasury of Jingzhou.
Because of the weight of Jiangling, Liu Biao did not dare to despise it, and sent his son Liu Hu to guard Jiangling County, Liu Biao knew that Liu Hu was crazy about martial arts, and he never liked literature and art, so he sent his staff Fu Xun to serve as the head of Jiangling County, and assisted Liu Hu to sit in Jiangling, although Liu Hu did not care about Jiangling government affairs, but Fu Xun was hard work, painstaking, and handled many government affairs in Jiangling in an orderly manner, Jiangling City is still thriving, and its prosperity is no less than that of Xiangyang.
The county guard, Fu Xun sat down with a gloomy face, frowning, thoughts flying through his heart, and there was a trace of deep sorrow between his eyebrows, as if he had encountered a major problem.
"Huh" Fu Xun opened his eyes slightly, frowned and said secretly: "Is this true or false?" ”
Fu Xun kept muttering to himself, if people who are familiar with Fu Xun will be surprised, Fu Xun has always been vigorous and resolute, known for his decisiveness, but today he is at a loss, how can people not be surprised? What was it that made him feel troubled?
Fu Xun twisted his eyebrows and said, "Jiangxia has tens of thousands of troops of Huang Zu in charge, how can it be broken by Zhang Wu and Chen Sun's rabble?" ”
Jiangxia County has always been the vanguard of Jingzhou's resistance to Jiangdong, in dealing with Jiangdong, Liu Biao, Cai Mao, Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue are adhering to the principle of elite soldiers and good generals, and have been heavily defended, in the past, although Jiangxia County was repeatedly at a disadvantage under Jiangdong's offensive, but Jiangdong has never broken Jiangxia County!
But today's information from the blood-soaked "Jiangxia Defeated Army" really shocked Fu Xun's heart, Jiangxia County was actually broken, what is the situation?
Fu Xun is simply inconceivable, Huang Zu is the Taishou of Jiangxia County, with tens of thousands of troops under his command, Jiangxia County was broken, but now there has never been a trace of news about it, does it mean that Huang Zu has died? Thinking of Huang Zu's fate, Fu Xun was troubled again, secretly having a headache, Huang Zu is Liu Biao's confidant, and now if the news of Huang Zu's death spreads, Liu Biao will not go crazy?
The most terrible thing is that now the specific situation of Jiangxia County Fu Xun is hazy, I don't know how much, I thought that although Zhang Wu and Chen Sun were powerful, they could still be controlled, but now it seems that there are too many uncertain factors!
"Hey......" Fu Xun sighed again, looking at the information on the table and frowning deeply!
"Pedal ......"
A sound of footsteps came, Fu Xun looked up, but it was Liu Bei who strode in with a calm face, Fu Xun quickly got up and shook hands with the person who came, and said happily: "Uncle Liu Huang, are you here?" ”…,
Liu Bei saw the middle-aged scribe in front of him, his face was quite handsome, his beard fluttered in the wind, and the mysterious aura was full of light, Liu Bei forced down the urgent mood in his heart, bowed his hand, and said with a forced smile: "Bei has just arrived, dare to ask if it is Fu Xun Fu Juncheng?" ”
"Xun is not talented, such as a fake package." Fu Xun saw the anxiety and uneasiness in Liu Bei's heart, said with a slight humor, and then looked solemn and shouted: "Does Uncle Liu Huang know the changes in Jiangxia?" ”
"I know a little bit about it." Liu Bei listened, his dark color was heavy, and he said in a low tone: "Gongyi, has Jiangxia County ever been broken into the city by Zhang Wu and Chen Sun as rumored to be?" ”
Fu Xun nodded when he heard this, and shook his head again, seeing that Liu Bei's heart was speechless for a while, fortunately, Fu Xun then said: "Uncle Liu Huang doesn't know, Xun actually doesn't know the situation in Jiangxia, Xun knows that Jiangxia was broken and he also knows from the mouth of the defeated soldiers in Jiangxia, and the real situation ......."
Although Fu Xun didn't say anything, Liu Bei already understood, lowered his head and frowned and muttered, Fu Xun didn't bother, and after a long time, Liu Bei sighed: "Gongyi, seeing is believing, hearing is false." After a pause, he changed his tone and said: "But Jiang Xia is broken, you can't believe it, and you can't believe it." ”
Fu Xun listened to Liu Bei's words, nodded with a serious expression, and said in a deep voice: "Don't hide it from Uncle Huang, Xun received information that Jiangxia City was broken, and Huang Huangzu himself didn't know ...... life and death."
"I don't know if I live or die?" Liu Bei's brows frowned tightly, Huang Zu is Liu Biao's confidant, everyone in Jingzhou knows it, and Liu Biao also told Liu Bei some things before coming, at first hearing Fu Xunyan Huang Zu is missing, Liu Bei felt a deep headache.
Now that Jiangxia County has been broken, Huang Zu himself does not know his life and death, and even Liu Bei, who has been through ups and downs for a long time, is caught off guard, even if there are thousands of clues, he can't start. Lowering his head and muttering for a moment, Liu Bei calmed slightly, looked at Fu Xun and immediately seemed to think of something, and wanted to speak. Fu Xun looked at Liu Bei and smiled helplessly, and said softly: "Uncle Huang, don't blame, Young Master Liu Hu is now training in the military camp outside the city......"
Liu Bei was suddenly stunned, and after listening to Fu Xun's words, he smiled and said, "Gongyi, it's better to call it Xuande!" ”
Fu Xun immediately raised his eyebrows, his eyes and Liu Bei looked at each other for a long time, Liu Bei's eyes were full of peace, he couldn't help but smile, and said softly: "Xuande!" ”
"Gongyi" Liu Bei nodded with a smile, then looked at Fu Xun with a heavy expression, and said worriedly: "Gongyi, with Zhang Wu, Chen Sunzhi's ability can break Jiangxia, and it is impossible to help without foreign shili......"
Fu Xun also nodded heavily after hearing this, and said happily: "What Xuande said is good, the top priority now is to urgently find out the fact that Jiangxia City was broken, and whether it is Jiangdong who is playing ghosts." ”
Jiangdong and Jingzhou have an inextricable grudge, and it is very possible for Jiangdong to make ghosts in it, and it is no wonder that Fu Xun would guess so much.
"Huh? If Jiangdong is a ghost, I'm afraid things will be a bit big. Liu Bei said worriedly, paused, and then said loudly: "Gongyi, Lingling, Changsha, Wuling, and Guiyang are all in the camp outside the city?" ”
Fu Xun smiled slightly after hearing this, his mouth showed a trace of disdain and coldness, and said coldly: "This time, the lord of the four counties of Jingnan has a tough attitude, and he has both the two families, but they don't dare to disobey the yin and yang, but the letter is like a sky, and the bitterness is endless......" Fu Xun pointed to the case and said: "Oh, Xuande, please see, it is full of bitterness described by the four county guards......
Liu Bei glanced at it, and suddenly the corner of his eyes twitched: "Good guy, it's as high as a hill." Liu Bei smiled lightly and said softly to Fu Xun: "Gongyi is a great talent, the so-called capable people work hard, hehe......"
"Hey...... Xuan Demo wants to make fun of Xun, Xun knows how many catties he has! Fu Xun shook his head after speaking, stared at Liu Bei, and said softly: "Xuande, let's go, let's go to the military camp outside the city to take a look at the so-called 'elite soldiers' in the four counties of Jingnan?" ”…,
Liu Bei glanced at Fu Xun suspiciously when he heard this, Fu Xun seemed to have 'something to say'? Liu Bei said with interest: "I don't dare to ask for it!" ”
Outside the city, barracks!
The barracks have always been a place of slaughter and seriousness, fire and noise! The roars, shouts, and drills are endless. Liu Bei came to the military camp outside the city under the guidance of Fu Xun all the way, and a loud voice rushed to meet him.
Liu Bei and Fu Xun came to the outside of the camp, listening to the loud voices of the soldiers all over the place, Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said happily: "It seems that this time the four counties of Jingnan have elite soldiers and strong generals, it seems that this Pingjiangxia Rebellion is afraid that the resistance is much smaller." ”
Fu Xun shook his head slightly after hearing this, and said in a low voice: "Xuande is afraid that he will not say such a thing after seeing it." ”
Liu Bei glanced at Fu Xun in a little surprise when he heard this, but he didn't say anything, silently followed Fu Xun to tour the barracks, and gradually as time went by, Liu Bei's face gradually sank, and Zuihou was gloomy and terrible.
The two walked around the outside of the camp, only missing a station in the Changsha military camp, and at this time, Liu Bei had no interest in watching, Liu Bei's face was gloomy and terrifying, his eyes were shining, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I can't imagine that the Taishou of the four counties of Jingnan does not put Brother Jingsheng in his eyes so much?" ”
Fu Xun smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said helplessly: "Since the lord moved from Jiangling to Xiangyang, the control of Jingnan has declined, and the lord has strengthened Jingbei and ignored Jingnan over the years, and it is not surprising that the four counties of Jingnan have behaved like this!" ”
Looking at Liu Bei's unsightly look, Fu Xun couldn't help but say: "Xuande ......" Before he finished speaking, Liu Bei interrupted in one fell swoop, Liu Bei looked at Fu Xun and said, "Gongdi, I know what you have to say!" Liu Bei's eyes flashed, and he said: "The four counties of Jingnan can be so bold, if there is no backer behind them, how dare they be so presumptuous?" ”
"It's useless to pursue this now, Gongdi, don't worry, don't be stupid enough to hit a stone with an egg."
Fu Xun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said softly: "What Xuande said is very true. Fu Xun Fu Xun looked at Liu Bei with a smile, and said with a slight smile: "Xuande, there is the Changsha military camp ahead, maybe it will make Xuande's eyes shine and it is worth the trip, I wonder if Xuande is interested in taking a look?" ”
After Liu Bei listened to Fu Xun's words, he was stunned for a moment, then nodded slowly, and raised his foot to keep up with Fu Xun.
"Hey, why is Zilong here?" Suddenly, Liu Bei stopped, stared at the front and said in surprise, and after a while, he suddenly lost his voice: "Who is that veteran?" How big is it? Dare to fight against Zilong? ”
Fu Xun on the side frowned slightly when he heard this, as if he was thinking about something, and asked a little puzzled: "Xuande, who is Zilong?" ”
Liu Bei smiled when he heard this, pointed to a handsome general in silver armor who was competing with a veteran in front of him, and said proudly: "This person is Changshan Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong, and the vanguard general under the command of Bei!" ”
Fu Xun smiled with relief when he heard this, looked at Liu Bei and said: "Xuande Mo wants to despise that veteran, although that veteran is fifty and four years old, his martial arts are extraordinary and quite brave. After that, he pointed to the side of the school and stared at Zhao intently, and the big man who was fighting against Huang said softly: "Does Xuande know this person?" ”
Liu Bei followed his fingers and looked at it, half-squinted his eyes and muttered for a moment, and said with a little uncertainty: "Isn't this person a tiger?" ”
Fu Xun smiled slightly and whispered, "Yes! After a pause, he said: "Liu Hu Gongzi despised this veteran before, and made sarcastic remarks about no one in Changsha, so he sent a veteran?" However, the veteran had a very hot temperament, and when he heard the words, he was furious, and he fought fiercely against Liu Hugongzi, but Liu Hugongzi was defeated in less than twenty moves! ”
Liu Bei took a breath when he heard this, and thought secretly: "This veteran is four out of fifty, but he is so brave? This is really the ancient incorruptibility. Liu Bei turned his head to look at Fu Xun on the side and said, "Gongyi, who is this person's surname?" ”
Fu Xun stroked his beard and said with a smile: "This veteran is surnamed Huang Mingzhong, the word Hansheng, and he is currently the general of Changsha Zhonglang." Huang Zhong, who looked at the battle with Zhao Yun in the field, said softly: "Huang Zhong was originally from Nanyang, serving under the former Nanyang Taishou, and then somehow he resigned and did not do it, and only after more than ten years did he go to Changsha to serve as a Zhonglang general, and led the army to fight against the barbarians many times, and repeatedly made military exploits. Fu Xun said and sighed in a low voice, as if he was very disappointed in Liu Biao.
Fu Xun didn't finish his words, Liu Bei's heart suddenly changed, his brother Jingsheng has a good face, after seeing that Huang Zhong is a veteran, of course he was not interested, I was afraid that he would casually give a position, Liu Bei heard what happened to Huang Zhong, his eyes flickered, and the corners of his mouth also showed a trace of uncertain smile.
