Chapter 417: Martial Arts Kill Three Birds with One Stone
Seeing this, Liu Ye remained silent, led the horse to Zhao Yun's side and stopped, giving up his position to Huang Zhong's troops.
Huang Zhong led a school of 800, and Zhao Yun's 200 guards, totaling exactly a team of 1,000 people.
The two troops and horses advanced one after the other, and advanced to the southwest of Haidu.
Huang Zu wanted to deploy the suspicious soldiers of Haidu, and Liu Pan also wanted to stay behind to clean up the troops, so he didn't set off with the thousand-man team.
After leaving the Haidusk area, Liu Ye approached Zhao Yun and asked in a low voice: "Just now outside Haidusk City, I Guan Zilong stared at Huang Hansheng without taking his eyes off it, could it be that there is something wrong with this person?" ”
Zhao Yun frowned and shook his head: "On the day Xu Kun was hit by the arrow, I happened to be watching the battle in the Hailun City Tower, and I witnessed him being shot by two people, one of the arrows came from Gan Xingba, and the other arrow seemed to be Huang Hansheng. ”
"Zilong, could it be that you read it wrong?"
Liu Ye first questioned, and then explained: "That Huang Hansheng is over half a hundred, if he has such accurate archery, how can he be a little captain?" ”
Zhao Yun said solemnly: "One of the arrows will come out of his hand, although this person is more than half a hundred years old, but he has the ability to charge, Liu Pan's army attacked from both wings that day, it was he who led the team to break through the left defense line, which caused the defense around Xu Kun to be empty."
After hearing this, Liu Ye stroked his beard and fell into deep thought, muttering to himself: "If this is the case, Huang Zhong's credit seems to be greater, I don't know if Huang Zu will share the credit equally, or let one of them enjoy it exclusively, maybe Gan Xingba's hope will be disappointed again."
"Shouldn't it?"
Zhao Yun asked curiously: "Although Huang Zhong has the same surname as Huang Zu, he is Liu Pan's general, how can Huang Zu give the credit to others?" If Xu Kun really dies by an arrow, the last general thinks that at least the credit should be shared equally. ”
Liu Ye smiled bitterly, shook his head and explained: "Huang Zu, as the Taishou of a county, has no difference in vision, that Gan Xingba is brave and strategic, it is said that he will not be buried like this, Huang Zu may be deliberately not reused, although Liu Pan does not have a special military and political position, but he is Liu Biao's subordinate, do you guess Huang Zu will help Gan Ning to fight for credit?" ”
"Listen to what the gentleman said. Gan Xingba is really alas."
At the end of Zhao Yun's words, he shook his head and sighed, and did not continue to sigh.
He felt sorry for Gan Ning's enthusiasm, and at the same time remembered that Huang Zhong was more than half a hundred years old, and the official position in the army was only a captain, and he said in his heart that there are many people who have the ability in this world, but it is a pity that there is a lack of a master like Uncle Liu Huang.
A depressed person like Gan Ning is the epitome of heroes in the world.
If you don't have a prominent family background, no matter how capable you are, you may not be able to achieve great ambitions.
A lord like Liu Bei, who is meritocracy and does not look at his background, is so different in the troubled times of the late Han Dynasty, and at the same time it is so valuable.
In addition to Zhao Yun's admiration for Liu Bei, another person he admires is Long Xiang.
Long Xiang wrote a legend with a small background, and now he has become a prince of Huainan, who can advance and retreat freely between Cao Cao and Sun Quan, and silently help Kuang Fu Han Dynasty.
Zhang Fei often praised in his ears, and Liu Ye's words showed appreciation, which made Zhao Yun's interest in Long Xiang more and more intense.
Just as Zhao Yun was extending his thoughts, Liu Ye suddenly interrupted and reminded: "If Zilong is worried about Gan Xingba, he might as well wait for a break and rest halfway, and find Huang Zhong to explore the real situation, maybe it is because of his modesty that he has achieved others, so he is still a captain at this age." ”
"Hmm"
Zhao Yun bowed slightly, but his expression was still serious: "I'm going to ask for a while, but Mr. doesn't seem to know much about leading soldiers?" You can know that the army is distinguished by martial arts and military exploits, even if Huang Hansheng intends to fulfill the military exploits sent by others, the soldiers under his command and Liu Pan will not agree, so that the originally fair military merits and promotions will instantly become decorations"
"That's right"
Liu Ye nodded in a sudden realization, his impression of Huang Zhong was too one-sided, so that he made a wrong judgment.
When resting halfway, Zhao Yun asked about the arrow shooting Xu Kun that day according to Liu Ye's meaning.
Huang Zhong did not have the slightest modesty at all, he threatened that he had hit the enemy general, and he was the first to shoot arrows, and he was very confident in his archery skills.
Huang Zhong's 'competitiveness' surprised Zhao Yun, and he said in his heart Since you have such martial arts and archery, why haven't you stood out? Is it because you haven't had a chance to perform? Or is Liu Biao pretending to be blind like Huang Zu?
Zhao Yun was close to Gan Ning in the city tower at that time, and he saw Gan Ning shoot Xu Kun with a bow and arrow, but he didn't see Huang Zhong shoot the arrow first, but through his performance of dancing the knife to kill the enemy, it was speculated that the other arrow was sent by Huang Zhong.
Although Huang Zhong was full of confidence in his words, Zhao Yun didn't think that his archery skills were superb, after all, the strength of this age military general began to decline, and it could not be compared with Gan Ning in the prime of life.
There is doubt in his heart, and his expression is obvious.
Huang Zhong looked at Zhao Yun's expression, and he was not in a hurry to prove himself.
In the evening of the second day, 1,000 soldiers marched to Jiancheng County, the only big city in the Jinhe River Basin, and walked west along the Jinhe River to the source, crossing the Jiuling Mountain Range to be the boundary of Jingzhou.
Huang Zhong had sent scouts to Changsha and Guiyang, while the rest of the men and horses spent the night in Jiancheng County as planned.
As the sun sets, the afterglow shines on the soldiers, and a huge shadow appears on the ground.
Ga. Ga.
Huang Zhong heard the call of birds and looked up to see a line of geese, arranged in a herringbone shape, about to skim over the heads of the army.
Thinking of Zhao Yun's expression yesterday, Huang Zhong took off the carved bow from his waist, turned around and came to Zhao Yun's side, pointed to the top of his head and said: "This time we sent troops to attack Yuzhang, General Zhao and Mr. Ziyang shouldn't have tasted the meat, right?" How about I shoot two geese for you to satisfy your hunger? ”
Zhao Yun followed Huang Zhong's gesture and looked at it, and said in his heart that at this time, he would either shoot at the sunset sunset, or shoot with his back to the sun, both of which would affect the archer's line of sight.
It may be fine to shoot one geese, but it's unlikely to hit both at the same time.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yun kindly reminded: "The wild geese in late autumn are fat, and one is enough for the three of us to satisfy our hunger, and the old general doesn't have to put too much pressure on himself." ”
"Pressure? Haha"
Huang Zhong smiled heartily, followed Zhuma and looked at the sky to aim.
With a whoosh, the feather arrow departed from the string.
Ga. Ga. Ga.
With a miserable cry, a large black shadow fell from the sky, and the originally neatly formed flock of geese scattered like a rout.
Zhao Yun immediately hugged his fists and congratulated: "The old general is really good at archery." ”
"It's all expected, General Zhao is waiting for a feast."
Just as Huang Zhong was full of confidence and beard in response, several rangers were whipping their horses to deliver the prey they had shot.
Walking closer, Zhao Yun saw that the feather arrow pierced through the three geese, which was a superb technique of killing three birds with one stone in the legend, and his face instantly changed from surprise to consternation.
"General Huang's archery skills are outstanding, and Zhao Yun is fortunate to have a glimpse of his life."
Seeing this, Zhao Yun respectfully clenched his fists, and his initial suspicion of Huang Zhong turned into admiration, and he said in his heart that he could kill three birds with one stone under this sight, and even he was ashamed of himself, but he was afraid that Gan Xing would not be able to fight.
There is Gan Ning in the front, and Huang Zhong in the back.
There are really a lot of outstanding generals in Jingzhou, but it's a pity that Liu Biao can't do his best.
Zhao Yun especially felt sorry for Huang Zhong, it will be gone in a few more years, you haven't made a name for yourself.
