"Huang Hansheng, if you want to go back, just go back. You can just leave quietly. Why do you come to disturb the young master's pleasure? Why are you so indifferent? Why don't you leave quickly?" Han Xuan scolded Huang Zhong, and then said,
Then he turned to Liu Cong and said, "Young Master, Huang Hansheng drank too much. Please don't punish me."
First he scolded him, then told him to stand down, and then asked Liu Cong for mercy. After all these words, anyone could tell that Han Xuan intended to protect Huang Zhong.
Han Xuan truly cared about the people, but he also knew that the only general in Changsha County who could be dragged out to fight was Huang Zhong. However, he was not greedy for money, not lustful, and did not like to follow the crowd.
This resulted in Huang Zhong not being able to mix with ordinary officials at all. Since his son Huang Xu (Huang Zhong's son) died, Huang Zhong became even more taciturn, making it seem like everyone was a corrupt official and you were the only one who was aloof.
Heroes and people with strong abilities are mostly lonely and have some personality. This is the case for Wei Yan, and even more so for Huang Zhong.
"I'm going to leave." Huang Zhong didn't wait for Liu Cong to say anything, he cupped his hands to Liu Cong again, turned around and walked out.
"Stand down!" At this time, Liu Cong spoke, and Huang Zhong turned around and looked at him in confusion.
Liu Cong took the wine cup, stood up and walked towards Huang Zhong.
"Lord?" Xu Feng was anxious to stop Liu Cong. Liu Cong smiled softly: "Shan Rong, put away your knife. Huang Hansheng will never harm me!"
"In the third year of Chuping (192), my father appointed the old general as Zhonglang General. It has been fifteen years now. I often hear my father say: The stability of Jingnan depends on Huang Hansheng. Brother Pan also said: All the generals in Changsha
, Huang Zhonger is the only one who is noble in character, brave and good at fighting." As he said this, Liu Cong walked up to Huang Zhong, handed him a bottle of wine and said: "Old general, I wish you this wine, please drink it to the full.
.”
Huang Zhong's expression did not change, he took the wine cup and drank it in one gulp, saying calmly: "Thank you, young master."
After all, he is a veteran. He is used to strong winds and heavy rains, so he is not easily impressed. Liu Cong thought in his heart, but his face remained calm.
Grabbing Huang Zhong's hand, Liu Cong pulled him and said: "Come, old general, take a seat. I want to have a drink with the old general."
After pulling the reluctant Huang Zhong to sit down, Liu Cong laughed: "The old general neither drinks alcohol nor eats meat. Could it be that he is approaching old age?"
These words made Huang Zhong feel uncomfortable. Although he was over fifty, he never felt old. He immediately said: "The last general can still pull a three-stone hard bow and move a hundred-jin stone lock!"
"Okay! Come here, place another case next to me and bring some wine and meat." Liu Cong gave the order, and his servants brought the case, brought the wine and meat, and placed it in front of Huang Zhong.
After the placement was completed, Liu Cong raised his wine cup and said to Huang Zhong: "Old General, please."
"Young Master, please." Huang Zhong picked up the wine cup and drank.
"Come here, bring me a giant wine cup. (A large wine cup, usually used for sacrifices)" Liu Cong threw the wine cup in his hand and said.
After having a few drinks with Huang Zhong while holding a giant beard, Liu Cong said with a look of regret: "My father often said that for the sake of stability in Jingnan, it was a pity that Huang Han could not be summoned to Xiangyang. This time, my father specially ordered me to bring him to Xiangyang."
The general enters Xiangyang and is appointed as the general to fight against the captives!"
Huang Zhong put down the leg of lamb in his hand and said with emotion: "My lord, is it for the sake of stability in Jingnan? That you put me in Changsha for fifteen years?"
"Exactly, my father said, Jingnan is always in chaos. It is bordered by the Sun family in the east, Baiyue in the south, and the Wuxi barbarians in the west. It cannot be guarded except by General Huang." Liu Cong didn't even draft a lie.
"Young Master, there is constant chaos in Jingnan, and Huang Zhong can't go to Xiangyang." Han Xuan said excitedly when the two were chatting happily.
Han Xuan understood what Huang Zhong meant to Changsha, and he really didn't want to let Huang Zhong leave.
Next to Han Xuan, Pang Tongtong grabbed Han Xuando and said: "Prefect Han, come on, come on, let's continue drinking."
Pang Tong is also a good person, and he knows Liu Cong's ability to read people. Huang Zhong just stood up and made Xu Feng and Duan Kun nervous, and he saw it even more. Liu Cong didn't need to say this, he himself
I know that this is a strong general. Therefore, at this moment, I am trying my best to give Liu Cong an opportunity to win over Huang Zhong.
Han Xuan looked ugly: "Commander Pang, we will come back later..."
"Hey, Taishou Han, you are the master and I am the guest. How can you neglect me like this? Come on, Taishou Han, let me toast you." Pang Yi smiled and pulled Han Xuan, who looked ugly, to sit down.
.
Liu Cong looked at this scene and smiled briskly: "Prefect Han, you don't have to panic, Huang Zhong is my father's general, right? If there is chaos in Jingnan, Xiangyang will send troops, right?"
Han Xuan looked at Liu Cong's smiling face and then remembered that Liu Cong killed so many people in Jiangling. He couldn't help but shuddered and said: "What the young master said is that Huang Zhong can be promoted by the master.
It is his honor and humble position to be happy for him."
"Hahaha, that's right. Governor Han, Cong deeply admires your policy of caring for the people like a son in Changsha. When I go back to Xiangyang, I will tell my father about your achievements. Come, you and I will have a drink.
"
"Thank you, young master."
"Not just Governor Han, but everyone here who governs Changsha is a hard-working and meritorious person. None of us, father and son, will be left behind!"
"Thank you, young master!"
Everyone laughed and drank again in the big cake painted by Liu Cong.
"General Huang, do you dare to follow me north to face Cao's army?" Liu Cong said to Huang Zhong again.
Huang Zhong also drank too much. He held the wine jar and stood up and said: "Why don't you dare? The final general will be my lord, and my young lord will die for you!"
"good!"
"Report, my lord, that Liu Du, the governor of Lingling, and Zhao Fan, the governor of Guiyang, have led their troops. Jin Xuan, the governor of Wuling, said he has been ill for a long time and cannot come."
As early as Zhang Zhongjing's place, Liu Cong sent someone to inform the prefects of the four counties and lead his troops to meet in Changsha.
Liu Cong waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to retreat. Looking at everyone present, Liu Cong stood up and said solemnly: "The governor of Jingxiang is my father, and he will be me from now on. Jin Xuan did not come to visit, he simply ignored my father and son! Wu Ling
Is the county his private property?"
"Lingling Prefect Liu Du has arrived!"
"Guiyang Governor Zhao Fan has arrived!"
After two shouts, Zhao Fan and Liu Du each led a group of people in.
"Zhao Fan, the prefect of Guiyang, and Liu Du, the prefect of Lingling, pay their respects to the young master."
Liu Du looks older, and Zhao Fan still looks middle-aged.
"Prefect Liu, Prefect Zhao, please take your seats first."
"promise!"
"Young Master looks unhappy, but what happened?" Zhao Fan and Liu Du asked, sitting on either side of Han Xuan.
At this time, Han Xuan no longer cared about Huang Zhong and sighed: "Oh, Jin Xuan, the prefect of Wuling, claimed to be ill and did not come to pay a visit to the young master, which made the young master unhappy."
"Ah? How dare he do that?" Zhao Fan was timid and immediately said in shock.
In history, Zhao Fan failed to help his sister-in-law and Zhao Yun, and actually ran away in fear, which shows that he was timid and afraid of getting into trouble.
Liu Du also said: "So, this Jin Xuan is a bit bold."
Although the prefects of the four counties in Jingnan had a high degree of autonomy, only Jin Xuan dared to treat the Liu family and his son in this way.
"Ha, what's so difficult about this?" behind Liu Du, a young man said loudly.
Liu Cong looked at him and asked, "Who are you?"
Liu Du's expression changed, and he stepped out and said: "Young Master, this is my son Liu Xian. The young man has spoken arrogantly, and the Young Master must atone for his sins."
"Oh, it turns out he is your noble son. No problem, let him tell you what he has to say." Liu Cong said clearly.
When Liu Xian heard what Liu Cong said, he actually started pacing in the hall and said quite contentedly: "Young Master, please be at ease. I have a general in Lingling. He holds a huge mountain-breaking ax and has abilities that no one else can do. He can use them.
He led my Lingling soldiers and horses and captured Jin Xuan in front of the young master!"
"Oh? There is such a brave general in Lingling. Who is he?" Liu Cong drank the wine and asked curiously.
Han Xuan looked at the complacent Liu Xian, smiled mockingly, and thought to himself: Well, you Lingling will also lose a strong general.
"This person is my Lingling General Xing Daorong!" Liu Xian stopped and said proudly.
"Pfft!" Liu Cong spit out a mouthful of wine before he could swallow it.
