The news of Cai Mao's fiasco in Yuzhang soon came out.

The fame of Zhou Yu, Sun Ce, and Huang Zhong gradually sounded.

Especially Zhou Yu, his arrival directly changed the situation on the battlefield and completely drove the Jingzhou army out of Yangzhou.

For a time, Zhou Yu became famous.

Lu Su, who stayed in Lujiang, also had mixed feelings in his heart after learning the news.

"Gong Jin, it's worthy of you, as soon as you make a move, you can be a blockbuster."

Lu Su sighed, of course, he only sighed, he didn't envy at all, because he didn't care about fame.

He has not had a father since he was a child, so he naturally knows the hardships of ordinary people's lives, so what he wants to do is to do something practical for ordinary people in the world.

For this kind of false name, Lu Su is not interested and does not need it.

……

Jingzhou, Liu Biao.

Liu Biao looked at Cai Mao, who was kneeling in front of him and crying bitterly, and really wanted to push out his brother-in-law and cut it.

"100,000 people, you brought back 20,000? How did you fight this battle? ”

Cai Mao was also very uncomfortable, originally he thought that he would be able to defeat at least half of Yuzhang County, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen and returned defeated.

If Liu Biao hadn't been for Cai's sake, he would definitely kill Cai Mao to vent his anger.

But as soon as he thought of Cai's considerate appearance, he gave up.

"For your sister's sake, I'll spare you this time!"

Huang Zhong on the side, his face was also very ugly, he was ordered to support, but he still suffered a defeat.

After Liu Biao finished reprimanding his brother-in-law, he turned the finger to Huang Zhong.

"And you, Huang Hansheng, what are you eating, I let you go to support, but you still lost the battle?"

Huang Zhong was originally a person who was not good at words, and now he was reprimanded by Liu Biao, and he didn't know how to defend himself.

Although he lost this battle, he didn't seem to have much to do with himself.

Cai Mao looked at the angry Liu Biao, gritted her teeth, and finally spoke.

"Lord, the big reason for the failure of this battle is that this Huang Hansheng fights with that Sun Bofu all day long, and the two of them fight back and forth, and they cherish each other!"

When Huang Zhong heard this, the expression on his face froze completely, and he looked at Cai Mao in disbelief: "General Cai, what do you mean by this?" ”

Cai Mao actually knew that if Huang Zhong hadn't gone to support in time, he would have been defeated by Sun Ce a long time ago.

But now, in order to protect himself, he can only put most of the responsibility for the failure of this battle on Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong's question was not answered, so he looked at Liu Biao and explained: "My lord, it is also helpless for the last general to fight with that Sun Ce all day long. ”

"Then Sun Ce called the battle all day long, if the last general does not fight, I am afraid that the morale of our army will gradually dissipate, and at that time, our army will be defeated without a fight!"

After listening to Huang Zhong's explanation, Liu Biao couldn't help frowning, and asked: "Huang Zhong, aren't you good at shooting, claiming that your archery skills can be compared to Shangfei General Li Guang, then why don't you shoot that Sun Ce?" ”

"This former fighting general, how can there be a reason to suddenly use cold arrows?" Huang Zhong's face was full of helplessness, he could hardly imagine that this was a question asked by his lord.

Regarding Huang Zhong's explanation, Liu Biao didn't buy it.

"Huang Zhong, I think you just had the idea of voting for that Sun Ce, right?" Liu Biao snorted and stared at Huang Zhong with a sneer.

"Lord, how is this possible, how can I, Huang Hansheng, be the kind of person who sells his lord for glory?" Huang Zhong looked at Liu Biao with an unbelievable face, he never thought that the lord he trusted would also look at him like this.

Liu Biao waved his hand impatiently at Huang Zhong's rebuttal: "The order went down, Huang Zhong neglected his duties, resulting in a great defeat in this battle, and he was punished for thirty and demoted to a deputy general!" ”

As soon as this punishment was lowered, Cai Mao breathed a sigh of relief.

If someone takes the blame, then he doesn't have to suffer from flesh and skin.

Huang Zhong was full of unwillingness, but he was still taken out and punished for thirty.

After returning home, Huang Zhong's wife was full of distress.

"Husband, people outside say that this battle is lost, and it has nothing to do with you, but then Liu Biao, why did he beat you?"

"If this battle is lost, someone must come out to be responsible, then Cai Mao is the brother-in-law of the lord, he can't do it, so he can only let me take this responsibility."

Huang Zhong reluctantly explained, although he had resentment in his heart at this time, he would not leave in a negative mood.

But Mrs. Huang didn't do it: "Then Liu Biao beat you indiscriminately, how can you swallow this breath?" And I also heard that Cai Mao drank and had fun in the army, and searched for dancing girls everywhere for him to enjoy! ”

"Forget Madam, I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and my skin is rough and thick, so this injury is nothing." Huang Zhong shook his head, indicating that he was fine.

Even Mrs. Huang, who was about to go to Liu Biao to ask for an explanation, was stopped by him.

……

However, Liu Biao's stupidity and Cai Mao's incompetence made everyone only think it was funny at the time.

People afterwards will only remember this battle because of Huang Zhong.

Half a month later, Huang Zhong's injuries were almost healed, but his reputation in the army was completely stinky.

After Huang Zhong was demoted to a deputy general, he only had an idle position as a guard of the armory, and he also suffered the white eyes of his colleagues in the army, which made him uncomfortable to death.

But Cai Mao, the initiator of this incident, didn't even say a word to excuse Huang Zhong.

On this day, Huang Zhongfeng sent some ordnance by fate, and happened to meet Cao Ang, who went to Yizhou to transplant tea trees and then returned to Huainan.

The two of them didn't know each other, they just met on the road.

Huang Zhong looked at Cao Ang with weapons, very cautious, and directly pulled his bow and arrows: "Stand back, don't get close to the ordnance car!" ”

Seeing this, Cao Ang couldn't help but smile: "General, don't be nervous, I'm just a passerby, and I'm just carrying weapons for self-protection, please put away the bow and arrows, there are female dependents in the car." ”

Huang Zhong looked at the carriage behind Cao Ang, and then put away his bow and arrows.

"If it's a passerby, then pass it quickly!"

Cao Ang smiled slightly, didn't say anything, just let the carriage go first.

When passing by Huang Zhong's side, Cao Ang couldn't help but glance at the bow in Huang Zhong's hand.

"The bow in the general's hand should have 700 stones, right?"

Huang Zhong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded: "That's right, I am the bow of the Seven Stones, you have good eyesight when you arrive!" ”

Since he didn't feel hostility towards the young man in front of him, Huang Zhong's attitude eased a lot.

After Cao Ang listened to Huang Zhong's answer, he also laughed: "The general is real, isn't the weight of the bow mentioned in the army a hundred times higher?" ”

Huang Zhong shook his head nonchalantly when he heard this: "I don't care about these false names, multiple is heavy!" (End of chapter)
