The night was dark and the Xiang River was surging, but Huang Zu in the big tent was completely uneasy.
He had his hands behind his back, his eyes were gloomy and cold, and he was staring at the hanging map in trance.
On the upper reaches of the Xiang River, Lü Meng's navy, twenty miles away, was watching with eager eyes.
To the east of Shuiying Dazhai, Wei Yan's 3,000 elite troops were forced to camp and set up camp a few miles away.
However, Linxiang City, just a short distance away, was surrounded by Yan Liang's 20,000 troops, and there had been no news for days.
At this time, Huang Zu gradually felt a trace of regret.
He regretted that he had been so motivated that he disobeyed Liu Qi's orders and failed to fight in time to defeat Lu Meng's navy. This allowed Yan Liang's infantry and cavalry army and the enemy's grain and military supplies to arrive in Changsha in a steady stream and surrounded Linxiang City.
It became an iron bucket.
If Linxiang City is destroyed and Liu Qi dies, how will Huang Zu be able to live alone?
"Alas -" Huang Zu shook his head and sighed.
At this moment, the sound of rapid footsteps interrupted Huang Zu's thoughts.
"General, look who's back." General Zhang Hu broke into the tent excitedly.
Huang Zu was startled, and when he turned around, he saw a young man with tears in his eyes walking in closely.
That young man was none other than his eldest son Huang She.
Huang Zu's old face suddenly filled with infinite surprise, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.
"Father handsome——"
Huang She choked up and bowed his hands in greeting.
Only then did Huang Zu wake up and realize that he was not dreaming. The person standing in front of him was his beloved son Huang She.
"She'er, you're still alive, you're really still alive."
The excited Huang Zu stepped forward and helped Huang She up without caring about his dignity. He was so excited that he burst into tears.
The father and son reunited, holding each other's hands and weeping. Generals Zhang Hu and Zhang Hu were moved to tears.
After crying for a while, the father and son gradually calmed down. Huang Zu took Huang She's hand and sat down, curiously asking him how he survived.
Huang She then told the truth about how he was imprisoned by Yan Liang, how he was forced to write a letter to Huang Zu to persuade him to surrender, and how he was entrusted by Yan Liang to persuade him to surrender.
When Huang Zu heard that Yan Liang had abused his beloved son, he was so angry that he gnashed his teeth and cursed repeatedly. But when he heard that Yan Liang had released Huang She in order to recruit Huang She to surrender, he fell into silence.
At that time, no matter what the moment, Huang Zu was always thinking about how to fight against Yan Liang.
Now, the return of his beloved son made the word "surrender" appear in his mind for the first time.
"To tell you the truth, Yan Liang is now in a strong position, and it will only be a matter of time before Liu Qi is defeated. If I don't surrender to Yan Liang, how can I stop this man alone with my own strength..."
Huang Zu started to make calculations in his head.
Huang She seemed to have read his father's thoughts and said anxiously: "That Yan Liang is cruel by nature, and most of the people under his command are from humble backgrounds. If my father submits to Yan Liang, I am afraid that the Huang family will decline from now on."
.”
Huang Zu's body trembled, and Fang Qi's thoughts were immediately cut off by his son's few words.
Yan Liang is just a traitor to the Yuan family. I, the Huang family, belong to one of the four great families of Jing and Xiang. How can I submit to this despicable person?
Contempt returned to Huang Zu's face, but there was still a bit of hesitation in his eyes.
Surrendering Yan Liang would be humiliating, but it would still preserve the strength of the Huang family. However, if he did not surrender, he would be in danger of being wiped out by Yan Liang.
This is exactly what Huang Zu was worried about.
At this time, Huang She showed a sly smile and lowered his voice and said: "Yan Liang wants to recruit his father to surrender. Why doesn't his father use his plan to make Yan Liang's dog thief relax his vigilance? Then his father can kill him by surprise. Isn't Changsha in danger?"
This can be explained.”
Take advantage of the situation!
Huang Zu's expression perked up and he became excited.
"After repelling Yan Liang, Commander-in-Chief Father can use his great achievements to eradicate Kuai Yue and seize the opportunity to seize all military power. Then he will turn Liu Qi into a puppet, use his banner to pacify the four counties in Jingnan, and then go north to regain the entire Jingnan province.
Xiang, when that time comes, Commander-in-Chief Father will kick Liu Qi away, so why not even if he becomes the master of Jing and Xiang?"
Huang She's bold words made Huang Zu very surprised. He never expected that his son would come up with the idea of letting him replace the Liu family.
At this time, the general Zhang Hu also said excitedly: "What the eldest son said is absolutely true. Now that the Kuai family and the Cai family have declined, Liu Qi is a mediocre master. Looking at the whole Jingxiang, who has such a noble background and greatness as a general?"
In terms of prestige, only a general who becomes the shepherd of Jingzhou can guarantee the safety of our territory in Jingxiang."
The eldest son, the generous words of the generals were full of temptation, tickling Huang Zu's heart like a pair of tender little hands.
"Yes, Liu Jingsheng is dead, Liu Cong is dead, and Cai Mao is dead, leaving only the mediocre and incompetent Liu Qi, and the scheming Kuai Yue. Who else has the prestige to be the author except me, Huang Zu?"
Lord of Jingzhou..."
In Huang Zu's eyes, the hesitation gradually faded, and the excitement was quietly growing like an undercurrent.
He paced around the tent with his hands behind his back, walking back and forth for a long time, and finally a glimmer of determination flashed across his eyes.
When Huang Zu suddenly turned around, he was already proud.
"She'er, what kind of strategy can you use to make a plan? Please tell me quickly and let me be your father."
…
In the afternoon, Yan Jun camped.
Yan Liang had just circled the city and inspected the defenses of Linxiang City. When he returned to the camp, Huang Zu's messenger came to see him.
The messenger brought a handwritten letter from Huang Zu, claiming that the Huang family and his son were willing to surrender to Yan Liang, but because many generals in the army hated Yan Liang, it would take a few days to persuade him.
Yan Liang immediately showed great joy, praised Huang Zu's wise move, and promised again that he would ensure the prosperity of the Huang family. He rewarded the envoy generously and sent him to reply to Huang Zu.
As soon as the messenger left, Yan Liang summoned Xu Shu with his hind legs.
"Huang Zu is very popular with the soldiers. When Jiangxia fell, these Jiangxia generals did not retreat and still followed him. Now that he wants to surrender, how can he refuse to accept it? Huang Zu's excuse is clearly to delay time and look for opportunities.
To deceive."
Xu Shu didn't hesitate and revealed Huang Zu's plan in one sentence.
Yan Liang nodded slightly, threw the handwritten letter from Huang Zu on the case, and said with a sneer: "Both father and son named Huang are arrogant and self-proclaimed noble people, but this handwritten letter is extremely respectful, hum, look.
After all, I am so clumsy in my wits that I don’t even know how to act.”
Although Yan Liang's analysis angle was different from Xu Shu's, they both saw through Huang Zu's conspiracy.
Xu Shu then smiled and said: "Since the lord also thinks so, then this matter will be much simpler. I only need to use a little trick to eradicate Huang Zu in one fell swoop."
Faced with Xu Shu's confidence, Yan Liang shook his head instead, and a cold murderous intention flashed across his face like a knife.
"Just getting rid of Huang Zu is not enough. I want you to devise a plan to kill Liu Qi and Huang Zu together."
"The whole nest is finished..."
Yan Liang's huge appetite made Xu Shu secretly frown.
The "expert" on military strategy stroked his beard and frowned, thinking hard.
After a while, the frown on his face became relieved and he said, "Since the Lord wants to catch them all together, I have a plan to make the two of them obediently fall into the trap."
As expected of Xu Shu, Xu Shu came up with a clever plan in the blink of an eye.
Yan Liang became very interested and asked him what his plan was. Xu Shu lowered his voice and told him his plan calmly.
As he listened, a sly smile quietly appeared at the corner of Yan Liang's mouth.
…
On the same day, the envoy sent by Yan Liang went to Huang Zu's camp with Yan Liang's friendship.
The envoy claimed that their General Yan You would withdraw the Wei Yan camp to the east in order to show his sincerity in surrendering, in order to indirectly show his goodwill to the suspicious Jiangxia and Huangzu generals.
Yan Liang did what he said, and the envoy conveyed the message that day. Early the next morning, Yan Liang had already evacuated Wei Yan's first battalion.
Along the west gate of Linxiang City, Zhang He's battalion was originally besieging the city. In order to prevent Huang Zu from attacking from behind, Yan Liang specially set up Wei Yan's camp behind Zhang He's camp, that is, to the east of Huang Zu's water camp.
The withdrawal of Wei Yan's camp meant that the front and back of Zhang He's camp were directly exposed to Huang Zu.
Just as Yan Liang expected, as soon as Yan Liang withdrew Wei Yan's camp, Huang Zu sent another envoy that night, claiming that the generals were deeply moved by General Yan You's generosity and were willing to lead the entire army to surrender in two days.
But just when Huang Zu agreed to Yan Liang's return, a horseman quietly came out of Huang Zu's water camp under the cover of night and sneaked into Linxiang City silently.
The figure on the horse was none other than Huang She.
Because of the withdrawal of Wei Yan's camp, the Yan army's patrols between Shuiying and Linxiang dropped sharply. Huang She took advantage of this opportunity to pass through the siege through the gap and arrived under the west gate of Linxiang.
"I am Huang She, the son of General Huang. I have been ordered by Commander-in-Chief to risk his own life and come to see your lord. Open the city quickly and let me in."
Huang She reined up his horse in front of the moat, facing the crossbowmen on guard on the city, and shouted loudly.
When the garrison on the city heard Huang She's name, they were all shocked, but they did not dare to make any decisions, so they hurriedly reported the news to Liu Qi.
After a while, the suspension bridge was lowered, the city gate opened a crack, and Huang She rode his horse in.
As soon as Fang entered the city, more than ten soldiers immediately surrounded him. They knocked Huang She to the ground several times, tied him up tightly, and dragged him to see Liu Qi.
When Huang She was dragged into the lobby of the military mansion, what he saw at first sight was Liu Qi's cold face that was both shocked and angry.
What surprised Liu Qi was that Huang Sheming, who had been captured by Yan Liang tomorrow morning, would now appear outside Linxiang City.
What made Liu Qi angry was that Huang She's father disobeyed his military orders, which led to the predicament of Linxiang being besieged today. How could Liu Qi not be angry when he saw Huang Zu's son today?
"You are captured by Yan Liang and cannot die. Your father Huang Zu disobeyed my military orders. Both your Huang family and his son are disloyal people. How can you have the face to see me today? Come on, drag this guy out and behead him."
Already."
In a rage, Liu Qi decided to kill him.
Huang She did not panic, and only said loudly: "I risked my life to come to see my lord this time, precisely because my father and son wanted to make up for their mistakes and defeat the thief Yan Liang for your lord. If my lord kills me, I'm afraid he will be killed."
The situation is over."
Hearing the words "break Yan Liang", Liu Qi felt as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood. A look of surprise suddenly appeared on his originally angry face. Registered members of Piaotian Literature recommend this work
