Huang Zhong led his troops back to Hanzhong in shame. After some rest, except for Qu Yi as the guard, Huang Zhong and Xu Huang returned to Yecheng with their personal guards to wait for punishment.

No defeated officer would be punished. Even if Huang Zhong was a veteran, he had to abide by this rule.

In fact, many people do not feel wronged in Huang Zhong's punishment, or instead breathe a sigh of relief for him.

The senior generals such as Huang Zhong, Zhang Fei and Gao Shun had too high merits. The higher the status of a general in the feudal era, the more difficult it would be to reward meritoriously. Once they reached the position of duke, they would be the title of king. This position is easy to have problems.

Besides, if you don’t have a title, how can you be worthy of the other party’s contribution? If the general feels resentful, he may find an opportunity to rebel. If a general like them is always able to find a group of followers and launch a military revolution directly in the capital, he may succeed if he accidentally does it.

Liu Ming had the system plug-in, so he naturally knew that Huang Zhong was loyal to him, but in the overall environment, he naturally enjoyed following the crowd.

Huang Zhong was dismissed from his post and retained his post. He could be said to be a white man, but he continued to control the army in this capacity to make meritorious service. In addition, so many other troops he brought with him died, and no matter how many people said he would have to be beaten to a hundred slaughter, otherwise the families of the Ace Army would be dissatisfied.

The most important thing is that Liu Ming spent so much money and wasted all the money, which made him feel very unhappy.

For the money, I had been subjected to an hour-long lecture from Xun Yu.

It is said that the nerves in charge of money and food will be more sensitive. To put it in a big way, the nerves are very tight and are only a line away from the nerves. This phenomenon often manifests itself as the amount of money and food managed is higher, the stronger it will be.

Now it seems that this is really reasonable.

Xun Yu, in shock, learned that the money was used to strengthen his soldiers. He first confirmed the matter several times, and then he was so angry that he cursed. At that moment, there was no gentle butler Xun Wenruo Xun, the only shrew.

"Stay well and take a good rest for half a year. Go to the Spirit Gathering Array to improve your skills within half a year. The world is actually very big. I am afraid that you and I may not be able to finish eating in this life." Liu Ming helped Huang Zhong, who had been punished, patted his shoulder and whispered.

This sentence involves the principle of "the cunning rabbit has died and the lackeys are cooked". Since the cunning rabbit has not died yet, the lackeys will naturally not be cooked, so Huang Zhong can work with peace of mind and there is no need to have any psychological problems.

At this moment, Huang Zhong was already in tears, but it was not a pain.

Originally, there was real qi protecting the body, so these hundred boards naturally could not hurt Huang Zhong. At most, a layer of skin was broken, and the blood was a little scary. With the help of his personal guards, Huang Zhong bowed to Liu Ming and went home to heal his wounds.

"Where did Zhao Yun fight? By the way, Huang Xu seems to be under his command, right?" Liu Ming turned around and asked.

"I have arrived outside Shangyong City, but Shangyong City has obviously been repaired recently, and the opponent's defender is also very good at defending, so it has not been captured yet in the short term, but it is just in a stalemate.

Huang Xu was already the commander of the commander of Zhao Yun. He was the first to lead the troops to climb the wall yesterday, but unfortunately he was forced to retreat in the end. At that time, he fell down on the six-meter-high city wall. If it weren't for the bodies of more than a dozen soldiers below as mats, and with his good skills, he would have fallen to death." As the intelligence leader, Jia Xu would naturally appear next to Liu Ming when he needed to know the information.

It’s just that feeling that there is no one behind it, but one suddenly pops up. It’s really bad.

Jia Xu, your old man’s ability to sneak up has improved recently.

After 150,000 yuan of money was thrown away, Liu Ming felt very distressed. After finishing his day's work, he went back to his warm little nest and enjoyed the comfort of the women at home.

At the same time, Zhao Yun's military camp was on the Shangyong front.

"You boy, you are brave, you'd rather be alive. Just send you to test the opponent's defense ability, and you will climb the city wall directly. Look, if there weren't a dozen bodies of robes below, you would have been taken back to Yecheng for burial like them." Zhao Yun cursed at Huang Xu at the lower head.

Huang Xu is only eighteen years old this year, but he has been practicing martial arts for several years and is infinitely close to the third level. With such achievements, it is mainly because Huang Zhong gave him most of his military achievements to exchange for the cultivation time of the Spirit Gathering Array.

The father has paid so much, Huang Xu naturally hopes to prove his ability. The most important thing is to let his father know that the tiger father will never have such a possibility as a dog son. You must know that the Huang family is different from Lu Bu. Lu Bu was a weak and angry girl. The daughter of the Huang family, that is, his sister, is also strong and tight. Even if he is a general with force, it is okay to be a general... It just makes people worry about whether she can marry or not.

Yesterday, Zhao Yun asked him to tentatively attack Shangyong, but he directly climbed to the wall. During this period, he was hit by six stones. He relied on his strength and fought a way out.

It’s just a pity that less than thirty people were able to climb to the wall with me, but were besieged by the other party, and finally I was squeezed and fell off the wall.

"It is a good thing for young people to be strong in their youth. I wish I could defeat Shangyong on the first day. However, Shangyong is the key portal for Hanzhong to Jingzhou. As long as Liu Biao is not stupid, he will naturally know that this place is very important.

For example, today's general has very stable commands and the soldiers' cooperation is also very good. Under his guard, our soldiers have obviously suppressed them to the greatest extent, but they are still beaten to the point where they cannot get close to the city wall... Not everyone can be as powerful as you." Zhao Yun said seriously.

"I am a little greedy and reckless, I hope the general will punish you." Huang Xu naturally admitted his mistake immediately.

"Forget it, at least you are the first to climb to the wall. It's considered a merit, and the merits and demerits are worth it. However, in the future, this kind of rush to realize yourself is not allowed. You are still young and there are still many wars waiting for you. If you die now, everything will be gone." Zhao Yun sighed and warned seriously.

"Hey." Huang Xu was humble and taught.

After admonishing Huang Xu, Zhao Yun called other civil and military officials in.

"How is the situation checking?" Zhao Yun asked Zhao Zhen.

"I have learned the situation through the Jinyiwei. The other party is Huo Jun, a general under Liu Biao. He is only twenty-one years old this year. He was not qualified to become a guard general, but the guard general was his brother Huo Du, but he died of illness at the end of last year. After that, he followed Huo Du as his deputy general and naturally became the actual guardian of Shangyong.

Liu Biao was obviously busy joining the coalition forces, so he did not find this and did not make any changes." Zhao Zhen reported the secret report he had just passed from the Jinyiwei to Zhao Yun.

"It turns out that he is still a young general, but he doesn't want to have such ability. There are disciples of Dao Sect or Wu Sect in it." Zhao Yun praised Huo Jun a little bit when he heard this.

"No disciples of Dao Sect or Wu Sect are found in Shangyong City." Zhao Zhen replied truthfully.

"It's interesting that we can block our attack without relying on the disciples of the second sect, but we'll be able to block our attack without relying on the disciples of the second sect, which is interesting. But tomorrow our cannon will be pushed to the front line. I wonder if he can continue to block it." Zhao Yun said with a smile.

These days have been sunny, but there is no rain or cloud at all. Therefore, Zhao Yun has specially mobilized five cannons in Hanzhong for the purpose of siege.

"The artillery is so sharp that the gate will be blown up in three rounds of bombings. It will not be easy for our army to enter the city by then." Taishi Ci said with great confidence.

"I hope this is the case. I hope that the person named Huo Jun will give us new surprises." Zhao Yun nodded.

The next day, five artillery pieces were pushed to the front line and bombed the gate of Shangyong City. However, Huo Jun seemed to know what the artillery was. Not only did the city gate open directly, but the soldiers retreated from the city wall.

"Is this what he should say is that he is greedy for life and fear of death, or is there some trick waiting for us to take the bait?" Zhao Yun asked Feng Ji in confusion.

"The army in Shangyong City is only 5,000, and they are not trained by the Dao Sect or Wu Sect. Even if the physical condition is much stronger than that of ordinary people before, they will not be our opponent. When fighting head-on, the opponent has no chance of winning at all. There is nothing to say except using tricks.

Depending on the situation at present, the only possibility is that they plan to give up the outer city and rely on the inner city to defend. The outer door is opened, which means we can enter the city without destroying it, but it also means that it will not be too difficult for the other party to lock it back, so be careful of the other party's ambush." ​​Feng Ji analyzed seriously.

"Let the artillery troops blow away the inner and outer gates of the city gates." Zhao Yun turned around and ordered.

The artillery naturally did not understand why it was bombing the open outer door, but they still faithfully completed the task. In just a moment, the outer door and the inner door became a pile of ruins.
