After Liu Zhang gave instructions to everyone, he left Huang Zhong alone.
"Han Sheng, in the blink of an eye, we have known each other for thirty years!"
Huang Zhong looked melancholy, and couldn't help but recall the past in his mind.
Liu Zhang was still a three-year-old child when we first met him, and even for a period of time, he was held by Huang Zhong!
Thirty years have passed, and the little boy has become a prince, powerful in the world!
Yizhou Mu, General Wei, will soon be promoted to the position of Duke of Qin!
Huang Zhong himself has also gone from a weak age to now knowing his destiny.
"My lord, I am where I am today, all thanks to my lord's support!"
Huang Zhong expressed his sincere gratitude to Liu Zhang.
If it weren't for Liu Zhang, Huang Zhong couldn't even believe what he would have become.
Down and out, poor!
He was hated by his family and made things difficult for him by his superiors.
Not only did he spend all his savings to treat his son, but he was so poor that his wife had to suffer along with him.
If Liu Zhang had not appeared, perhaps Huang Zhong would be alone now.
As for becoming a world-famous general with tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command, it is even more unthinkable!
It was precisely because of Liu Zhang that everything changed!
Now that the eldest son Huang Xu's condition has improved a lot, Huang Zhong even took another concubine with his wife's encouragement and gave birth to a son and a daughter!
"Han Sheng, thank you for your hard work these years!"
"Sometimes leaving the base camp to you for defense is really unavoidable!"
"Our current foundation is so big that it is as big as two in the world!"
"But to be fair, you are the only person I trust the most!"
Looking at Huang Zhong's face, Liu Zhang always felt unspeakable apology in his heart.
In more than thirty years, Liu Zhang grew from a child to a mature man, but Huang Zhong went from a prime man to a middle-aged man.
Huang Zhong's best years were all used by Liu Zhang to protect his rear.
Other generals have made great achievements at this age, but Huang Zhong has remained unknown.
"My lord, please don't say that. It is my honor to be able to protect my lord!"
Huang Zhong's apology to Liu Zhang came from his inner fear, and he would never allow Liu Zhang to do this.
Perhaps Huang Zhong had also thought about confronting Lu Bu and becoming famous in Hulao Pass.
But there was never any complaint about Liu Zhang's arrangements.
Huang Zhong has always been conscientious and completed every task seriously, even if the task is very inconspicuous.
"Lord, Ziyi, Wu Lai, Zilong, they all followed the lord in Weimo! I believe that their loyalty to the lord is absolutely no less than that of the general!"
Huang Zhong's words immediately warmed Liu Zhang's heart.
These generals under his command were very loyal to him, and Liu Zhang knew this very well.
Whether it is Taishi Ci, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and others, or Jia Xu, Xun You and others.
Liu Zhang absolutely did not believe that they would have different intentions, even just a little bit.
I believe that at the moment of life and death, they were all willing to be loyal to Liu Zhang, and even Taishi Ci, Dian Wei, and Zhao Yun were willing to protect Liu Zhang with their lives.
But if loyalty is expressed in numerical values, Huang Zhong will definitely top the crowd with the number one hundred.
Over the years, Huang Zhong worked hard and worked hard without complaint, and Liu Zhang saw it all.
It can be said that without such a selfless Huang Zhong, Liu Zhang would not be able to dominate Yizhou and swallow up Yongliang.
Not to mention the massacre of Qiang and Hu, and the entrapment and killing of Xianbei.
"Han Sheng, if I can only trust one more person in this world, then that person must be you!"
Huang Zhong's pupils suddenly dilated, and his eye circles suddenly turned red.
Liu Zhang's words really deeply stimulated Huang Zhong's heart, making him feel that all these years of hard work were worth it!
To be recognized by Liu Zhang, Huang Zhong would be willing to die immediately!
"My lord, I am extremely honored!"
"For our great lord's cause, Huang Zhong will go through fire and water, even to the death!"
Huang Zhong was not good at words, and he didn't know what words he should use to express his gratitude to Liu Zhang for his kindness.
For Huang Zhong, only by doing better and helping Liu Zhang to pacify the world in his lifetime can he be worthy of Liu Zhang's kindness.
Liu Zhang patted Huang Zhong on the shoulder, then was slightly stunned and couldn't help but laugh softly.
Although Huang Zhong was a little confused, he did not ask, still immersed in his inner gratitude to Liu Zhang.
"Han Sheng, do you still remember the first time I met you?"
Huang Zhong nodded repeatedly, of course he would not forget it.
"That day we were in the military camp, and the soldiers were embarrassing the general. The lord suddenly appeared at that time!"
Liu Zhang patted Huang Zhong on the shoulder again, and then couldn't help but laugh.
"I wanted to take a photo at first, but I couldn't reach it at all!"
"Hahaha...!"
The two looked at each other and smiled. The past years are their most precious emotions.
"Han Sheng, I have something to ask you."
Huang Zhong quickly cheered up, knowing that business was about to come.
"My lord, please speak!"
Huang Zhong knew that Liu Zhang's stay with him must not be just to reminisce about old times. There must be something very important, and it would be inconvenient to find someone else.
"Han Sheng, you also know that although the imperial court is still alive, in fact the emperor's words don't count at all. Everything is decided by Cao Cao."
Huang Zhong nodded slightly, this was almost everyone's knowledge.
Liu Zhang sighed softly and continued to talk.
"The Emperor has decreed that the Xianbei in Guanzhong will be wiped out, and after conquering all the counties in Guanzhong, he will promote me to Duke."
"Cao Cao promoted me to the position of Duke, as you know, but the title was Duke of Qin!"
"Do you know what the generals think?"
This is what I was asking about!
Huang Zhong sighed secretly in his heart, and finally understood why Liu Zhang came to him alone.
This kind of thing really requires someone who is completely devoted to Liu Zhang to give Liu Zhang the most correct answer.
"Lord, please forgive me for being disrespectful!"
"The general feels that among the generals under my lord, few of them have much sympathy for the Han Dynasty!"
"Of course, that includes the general."
"Everyone's hearts are with the Lord!"
Liu Zhang showed a satisfied smile, this was indeed the answer he wanted.
"So no one objects to my promotion to Duke Qin?"
Huang Zhong had a serious expression, and then nodded heavily.
He didn't dare to talk nonsense about this kind of thing.
"My lord, I can only say that Cao Cao did help my lord once. He gave the duke to my lord in the name of the emperor!"
"With Duke Qin as a buffer this time, when I get to that position in the future, the opposition will be much smaller!"
Liu Zhang glanced at Huang Zhong thoughtfully, but he didn't expect him to say this so brazenly.
"Han Sheng, if I want to proclaim myself emperor immediately, how do you think the generals will react?"
