Chapter 357: Shocking Change
.lā
At this moment, Duan Dahu's mood was really unprecedentedly happy, and he and Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei and others led the army into Changsha City with high spirits.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the four counties have all been included in our pockets, and it's time to consider the next march into Xichuan. Duan Dahu smiled proudly, looked left and right, but only Huang Zhong was missing,
"General Wenchang, why don't you see Old General Huang?" Duan Dahu couldn't help but ask.
Wei Yan said: "General Huang Lao fought with General Guan for several days the day before yesterday, and today he is in poor health, so he can't come to greet the lord. ”
Duan Dahu smiled: "In that case, how about we go and see the old general?"
"Very good. Zhuge Liang said.
"Please ask General Bunaga to lead the way. Duan Dahu said.
Wei Yan nodded, and led Duan Dahu and the others to Huang Zhong's mansion.
"Is Old General Huang at home?" Duan Dahu knocked on the door.
After waiting for a long time, the door squeaked open, and the old servant walked out and saluted Duan Dahu and the others: "My old master said that he has been in poor health in recent days, and he has not seen any outsiders, let alone the arrival of the new master of Changsha. ”
"The old general is righteous, and he is tired of informing the old general, Duan Dahu has long admired the old general's name, and sincerely seeks talents, and hopes that the old general will not dislike my shallow experience, and go out of the mountain to assist me. I'll just wait here until the old general sees me. ”
The old servant saluted Duan Dahu, closed the door, and went back to announce.
After a long time, the door opened, and the old servant said, "My master is invited." ”
Duan Dahu and the others were overjoyed, and the old servant led Duan Dahu and the others straight to Huang Zhong's resting place, only to see that Huang Zhong wrapped in a blanket, and when he saw Duan Dahu coming, he didn't get up, nor did he salute, and said: "As soon as I am defeated, General He Lao Duan came to the cold house in person. ”
Duan Dahu was not annoyed: "It stands to reason that you can be my grandfather at your age, so what's wrong with the younger generation coming to visit the elders?"
Huang Zhong snorted contemptuously, and said coldly: "Since General Duan wants me to go out of the mountain to help, I can't agree, but there are two conditions, if you don't allow one of these two conditions, then the Bian clan will kill me, and I won't surrender you." ”
The old general said. Don't say two, even two hundred, I will agree. When Duan Dahu heard this, he couldn't help but be very happy.
"That's good, this first one, during the time I was in Changsha, Han Xuantai treated me well, and I must bury Han Xuantai's body. Huang Zhongdao.
"Han Taishou is also a prince, if Han Xuan Taishou descends to me, I will let him forever serve as Changsha Taishou, although he is dead now, but I should also bury Taishou. Old general, please say this second article?" Duan Dahu said.
"Second, in front of so many people, how about you bow down to me and ask me to come out of the mountain to help you?"
As soon as the words came out, everyone was in an uproar, and Zhang Fei said angrily: "You old horseman, you dare to be so rude." "Woo chirped and was about to fight with Huang Zhong, but was stopped by Guan Yu.
Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei, and Ma Liang looked at Duan Dahu and didn't say anything, they were determined to see how Duan Dahu handled himself.
As the saying goes: "A man has gold under his knees", kneel to the sky, kneel to the ground, kneel to his parents, today Huang Zhong wants Duan Dahu to kneel and bow to the courtesy, nominally to invite himself out of the mountain, but in fact it is a big problem for Duan Dahu, kneel, so many people are here, I am afraid that people will laugh at it, don't kneel, but I can't invite Huang Zhong out of the mountain, it is really a dilemma.
"He is older than my master, and according to his age, he can be a member of my grandfather's generation. That's my elders, why shouldn't the younger ones kneel to the elders? ”
Thinking of this, I looked at Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and others, and saw that they were all looking at them without saying a word, and said in their hearts: "Zhou Gong is still a bathing and three grips, one meal and three spit feeding, lest I lose the world's talents, how can I not, this kneeling is not to kneel to General Huang Lao alone, but also to Zhuge Liang, Ma Liang, Liu Bei, kneel to the world's wise men." I couldn't help but feel relieved when I thought of this.
When your knees are bent, you are to get on your knees.
Huang Zhong got up suddenly, helped Duan Dahu and said, "Hurry up, the general has killed the old man." ”
"Old general......" Duan Dahu looked at Huang Zhong, already in tears.
"Poof" Huang Zhong knelt on the ground and cried: "The lord has killed the old man, thanks to the lord's refusal to give up, my body that is more than half a hundred years old will be promised to the lord." In the future, I will go to the soup for the lord, and I will not hesitate. ”
Duan Dahu picked up Huang Zhong and said, "Old general, please get up quickly." ”
"I have little experience, and I hope that the old general will do his best to assist in the future. Duan Dahu said and bowed to Huang Zhong.
Everyone was very happy to see Huang Zhong surrender, and Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei, and Ma Liang's faces flashed with a hint of relief.
Duan Dahu got two generals, and at night, he held a banquet on the mansion to reward the three armies. Duan Dahu couldn't help but be very happy when he saw that he had taken so many capable generals under his tent. After several rounds of drinking, slightly drunk.
At this time, an attendant walked up and reported: "Your lord, generals, and military advisors. General Zhao Yun sent General Qin to say that there was something important to decide with the main army. ”
"Please. Duan Dahu said.
After a while, led by his entourage, he saw that Qin Xiangrou panting in.
"What's the matter with General Zhao?" Duan Dahu ordered to sit on the left and right, and ordered the tea to be served.
Qin Xiangrou took a big sip of water, took a breath for a while, and said to Duan Dahu: "My sister was ordered by the military division to replace General Guan to guard Xiangyang, the day before yesterday I heard that Zhou Yu sent troops to attack Yiling and returned defeated, and he was seriously injured. ”
"What? Zhou Lang's martial arts and wisdom are not under Cao Hong, how can he be defeated?" Duan Dahu's surprise was really extraordinary.
It turned out that on that day, Cao Cao expected that Zhou Yu would take Yiling, so he sent Sima Yi to Yiling alone, on the one hand, to help Cao Hong, and on the other hand, to test how capable this Sima Yi was.
Sima Yi received the order and rushed to Yiling in the starry night, and someone had already reported to Cao Hong in advance, Cao Hong was very happy, and hurriedly asked: "How many men and horses will the prime minister allocate to me? Who will lead you?"
"The prime minister has an order, and only sent Sima Yi to come alone to help the general. ”
"What? Did the prime minister give up on Yiling?" Cao Hong asked, Sima Yi was very familiar to him, although he was under Cao Cao's account, he was usually silent, he looked like a stuffy gourd, and he couldn't kick a fart with three feet.
"How can that weak scholar lead troops to fight?" Cao Hong disdained.
"How can others speculate about the prime minister's holy judgment? The prime minister said that when Sima Yi arrives, all the things here will be arranged by Sima Yi, and they must not be violated. ”
"Yes. Cao Hong reluctantly accepted the order, but secretly thought in his heart: "Is the prime minister Lao Fan suffering from gout, and he is confused." ”
