"My lord, I have something to say." While Liu Cong and Zhao Yun were drinking and talking, Huang Zhong, who had come from Wuling, said to Liu Cong.
Liu Cong put down his wine cup and said, "Old General Huang has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
Huang Zhong was a little indignant, "My lord, the Black Armored Cavalry is the elite force of our army. The general also wants to lead this army. Not only the general, but also the generals of our army, who doesn't want to? But my lord, why would you want to command this army?"
To hand over such an important army to a newly arrived general?"
"My lord, Old General Huang is right. The last general is indeed new here. To lead this army, my lord, it is better to choose another good general." Zhao Yun's character is already humble, and now, he will not compete with Liu Cong's general.
What kind of conflict did the general have?
Liu Cong waved his hand to Zhao Yun, "Zilong, wait a moment." Then he said to Huang Zhong, "What does the old general want?"
Huang Zhong laughed, "My lord, it's not that the general is greedy for this cavalry, but that Zhao Yun, with a face as white as jade, looks like a showman at first glance. The general just doesn't want to destroy the black armor cavalry. To convince the general, it's simple, he
As long as you can survive fifty rounds in the hands of the last general, that's enough."
Huang Zhong's words made the generals in Jingxiang and Xiang look at Zhao Yun with some schadenfreude. At this moment, Zhao Yun did not have the appalling record of Changbanpo. Although he had some reputation, he was far inferior to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
But Huang Zhong is different. He has been guarding Changsha for many years. After following Liu Cong, he taught Xu Feng. Even Wei Yan and Gan Ning were able to defeat this veteran. It is no exaggeration to say that now
The most powerful general in Liu Cong's camp is the aging old Huang Zhong.
Therefore, the Jingzhou generals looked at Zhao Yun with some gloating. They did not think that this fair-faced boy could last fifty rounds in Huang Zhong's hands.
Liu Cong smiled boldly and said, "Hahaha, okay, this is what you said yourself, old general. Send the order, set up a seat in the school ground, and I will go with all the civil and military personnel to watch the competition between you two."
"Dong dong dong!"
The dull sound of drums sounded in the school ground, and Liu Cong and everyone sat on a high platform. In the field, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong were already wearing armor, one holding a gun and the other holding a knife.
When the two men heard the sound of the drum, they clamped their horses' belly tightly together and sprinted towards their opponent!
"bite!"
In just an instant, the two of them were close, and then swords and guns clashed!
"Herod." The two men sat down on their horses, which neighed due to the strength of the two men.
Zhao Yun's body shook slightly, but Huang Zhong remained motionless. Both of them used their full strength in this attack. This was a test to test the opponent's strength.
Huang Zhong put away his disdainful expression and said seriously, "Zhao Zilong, you are quite capable. No wonder the Lord values you so much."
Zhao Yun held the gun in his hands and said, "You can't compare with the old general. If the old general is twenty years younger, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei may not be your opponents. I'm afraid only Lu Bu can compare with him."
Huang Zhong admired Zhao Yun's modesty and stability, so he cupped his hand and said, "Let's do it again!"
The horses clashed for one round, then staggered and sprinted towards each other again. In the second round and the third round, the two continued to wrestle.
After that, in the fourth round of the confrontation, the two began to fight. Zhao Yun fired his spear like a dragon, as fast as lightning, and Huang Zhong was almost stabbed off his horse! This scene shocked Jingzhou civil and military officials. Some generals even stood up from their seats.
Come!
Pang Tong looked at Liu Cong with curiosity. Every one of the people Liu Cong valued surprised him. Huo Jun, Wei Yan, Gan Ning, Liu Ba, Fei Yi, Jiang Wan, Li Yan...
..
He was either a good general or a great talent. Liu Cong's ability to recognize people really surprised him, but Pang Tong didn't ask, which was a good thing for the Liu Cong Group.
In the field, Huang Zhong once again rode his horse towards Zhao Yun, slashing from top to bottom with his sword. Zhao Yun blocked the attack with his spear, Huang Zhong flipped his wrist, and Zhao Yun almost dropped his spear.
The two separated again and again and collided again and again. After a hundred rounds, Zhao Yun's face was red and there were fine beads of sweat on his face. Huang Zhong was also sweating profusely and breathing heavily. Jing Xiang Wenwu, at this moment, was already
Stunned.
"Kill!" Huang Zhong shouted, and rode his horse towards Zhao Yun again. "Kill!" Zhao Yun, not to be outdone, flattered Huang Zhong with the head of his gun, and faced the galloping Huang Zhong!
"Ding ding ding!"
"Herod!"
When the two heard the sound of ringing gold, they stopped their horses almost at the same time and turned to look at the high platform. Liu Cong held the gong and hammer in his hand and looked at them with a smile.
"My lord, leave the black armor cavalry to Zilong. I have no objection at all." Huang Zhong walked up to the stand and said to Liu Cong.
Zhao Yun wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Old General Huang is still strong and strong. Yun admires him very much."
Huang Zhong smiled and said, "You don't need to compliment me. Alas, I am getting old after all."
"Okay, okay, Huang Hansheng and Zhao Zilong can expect great things!" Liu Cong stepped forward and grabbed their hands.
Pang Tong bowed to Liu Cong and said, "Congratulations, my lord, for gaining another good general."
"Congratulations, my lord, for gaining another good general!"
"Pass an isolated order to reward Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun with a hundred pieces of Shu brocade each! Make Zhao Yun the general of the founding army! Today, both civil and military officials present will be rewarded with ten pieces of Shu brocade!"
"Thank you, Lord!"
"Alcohol is prohibited in the army. We made an exception today and held a banquet in the school grounds. All the officers and men in the army drank to their heart's content!"
"My lord is wise!"
Five days later, Liu Cong led his troops back to Yiyang.
"My lord, I just received news that Liu Bei fled to Cangwu, and Wu Ju, the governor of Cangwu, accepted him." As soon as he entered the governor's house, Han Xuan reported to Liu Cong.
Liu Cong sneered, "Cangwu's citizens are only 20,000 to 30,000, and its soldiers are only 3 to 5,000. Let Liu Bei stay there. Go and bring Sun Qian and Jian Yong."
"No." Duan Kun accepted the order and left. As for Xu Feng, he had already commanded the heavy infantry, and Liu Cong gave him the title of Tiger and Ben Army!
After a while, Duan Kun led Jian Yong and Sun Qian inside.
Although the two of them were a little embarrassed, they did not lose their bearing. They bowed to Liu Cong and said, "Greetings to the Marquis of Chu."
"Jian Xianhe and Sun Gongyou are both outstanding men, and they still have aloof demeanor even after being reduced to this. How can Liu Bei be so virtuous? He has been living in exile for half his life and still has a bunch of you by his side." Liu Cong said with some emotion.
"The Marquis of Chu has rewarded you. Why did you call us two here? If you want to kill us, please do it as soon as possible." Jian Yong has a straightforward personality and speaks quickly.
Liu Cong stopped talking nonsense, "Liu Bei's family and you are all captured by Gu, and I don't ask you to surrender. You can help Gu accomplish something, and I will let you and Liu Bei's family go back."
Sun Qian was a little surprised, "I wonder what the Marquis of Chu said?"
"Persuade Uncle Chen to return home and surrender to Gu!"
"Impossible!" As soon as Liu Cong finished speaking, Jian Yong refused.
Liu Cong sneered and said, "If you don't obey and kill Liu Bei's son alone, you can take his body back to see Liu Bei."
Jian Yong said angrily, "The Marquis of Chu is also a powerful leader, how could he do this?"
"Isn't it more despicable than Liu Bei's deed to ignore the kindness of my father and son and try to separate his territory? Moreover, when fighting for world hegemony, there is no such thing as harming his wife and children!"
"You..." Jian Yong was about to argue, but Sun Qian stopped him, shook his head towards Jian Yong, and said to Liu Cong, "Chu Hou, let's go and persuade Chen Shuzhi, hoping that you can keep your promise and release me." The master’s heirs.”
Liu Cong nodded, "Jian Yong is right. Gu is the leader of the party, so he naturally keeps his promise. Come, take them to see Chen Dao."
