It was too late, but then it was too late. Just when the horse fell, Huang Zhong jumped up with all his strength and chopped down a Sichuan army general. He got on the general's horse, and with an "ah" sound, he pulled out an arrow from his body and inserted it into the horse.
On the horse's ass, fly away.
"Huang Zhong is brave, but we are no match for our strength. Please forgive me, my lord." Zhang Ren and other generals bowed their heads to pay homage to Liu Zhang, with guilty expressions on their faces.
Liu Zhang stood up and looked at the generals. Shamoko's face was pale and his mouth was bleeding. Leng Bao was bent over as if his chest was in unbearable pain. Yan Yan's shoulders were wrapped in white gauze. Only Zhang Ren was intact.
Liu Zhang nodded speechlessly, "Okay, four generals came out together, three were seriously injured, but they didn't take down an old man, and let him rush out from the thousands of troops. It's really good, it's really good."
"Please forgive me, Lord." The four of them bowed down together.
Fazheng stood up and said: "Master, there is no need to blame them. It seems that although the reputation of old Huang Zhong is not as good as that of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, his military force should not be underestimated. At least the four generals Zhang and Ren completed their tasks well and annihilated Huang Zhong."
Five thousand pioneers, not to mention Huang Zhong who was hit by more than ten arrows, will not pose a threat to us."
"If it weren't for this, I would have reduced them all to foot soldiers."
Liu Zhang was still a little puzzled. He knew that Huang Zhong was very powerful, but he didn't expect that Huang Zhong was so powerful that he could run away after being trapped in a tight siege. It was a waste of such a precious plan. It seemed that he had to deceive Han Xuan again.
After Liu Zhang knew that Han Xuan sent people out of the city, he guessed that Han Xuan was going to contact Huang Zhong, and then put medicine in Han Xuan's food. He is still unconscious until now. Zhang Ren sent troops to ambush Huang Zhong's camp.
Sure enough, Huang Zhong came out in full force and took advantage of the situation to capture Huang Zhong's stronghold.
When Huang Zhong returned, Zhang Ren was actually planning an empty city at the gate of the camp. It was expected that Huang Zhong would not dare to attack the camp. There were only more than 200 barbarians inside, and the rest of the troops had already been deployed to the woods to ambush. The Jingzhou soldiers fled in panic.
It was not until morale collapsed and the morale of the army was weakened that the Sichuan army launched a fatal blow and wiped out Liu Pan's vanguard at a small cost.
The only regret is that Huang Zhong was not captured, and this was precisely the main purpose of Liu Zhang's design this time.
After wiping out the vanguard, Liu Pan's army was behind them. Although they were equally matched in numbers, it was not a problem to always confront each other. After all, this was their territory, and this matter had to fall on Han Xuan.
Liu Zhang came to Han Xuan's bed and waited quietly for Han Xuan to wake up. Han Xuan opened his eyes heavily and saw Liu Zhang's anxious face.
"Lord, what's wrong with me?" Han Xuan rubbed his forehead and tried to get up with difficulty. Liu Zhang quickly stepped forward to support him: "General Han, you are awake. Lie down quickly. Lie down quickly. Don't sleep.
It’s cold.”
Han Xuan lay down and asked again: "My lord, what's wrong with me? By the way, my night watch is up. I still have to guard the city gate for my lord."
"General Han has been unconscious for five hours."
"Five hours?" Han Xuan was shocked: "Then last night..." Han Xuan looked at Liu Zhang nervously.
"Alas." Liu Zhang sighed heavily: "General Han, it's all my fault. I usually kill many people, which makes the people of Hanshou resentful. I didn't expect that all the cooks who cook for the army hate me.
The food was drugged, and many soldiers fainted, and I was also drugged. As soon as I woke up, I came to see General Han."
"They've all been drugged? What about the city defense?"
"It's so dangerous." Liu Zhang sighed with emotion: "Last night we had made a plan to attack the camp at night while Huang Zhong was tired from the distance. Unexpectedly, after the army left, Huang Zhong came to kill him and set fire outside the city. It seems that Huang Zhong
Zhong Xiaoer colluded with the unruly people in the city. Fortunately, Mr. Fa Zheng was well prepared. Knowing that many soldiers had been poisoned, he gathered all the soldiers at the east city gate. Unexpectedly, he unexpectedly defeated Huang Zhong. What do you think?
Isn’t it funny?”
Liu Zhang burst out laughing as he spoke.
"It's funny, it's funny, congratulations, my lord." Han Xuan laughed a few times, feeling a chill in his heart.
"Sigh." Liu Zhang sighed again: "What a pity, there is a difficult problem now. You know, Hanshou City is full of unruly people. You can't eat their food, otherwise they will all be poisoned without knowing it."
, but all the grain we transported from Wuling was stored in a valley called Luoying Valley northeast of Hanshou, about thirty miles away.
I originally wanted to send troops to get it, but Liu Pan's army has already arrived at the city. You know, most of our soldiers are poisoned now and cannot leave the city in large numbers. Otherwise, Hanshou's defense will be empty and Liu Pan will take advantage of it. But if there are few soldiers, if
Liu Pan found out and destroyed our food and grass. What should we do? The entire army must be annihilated.
I have looked at the whole army and found that only General Han is qualified for the job. I originally wanted to ask General Han to do a hard job, but General Han is not feeling well. Alas, God will not help me."
"No, lord, I am willing to leave the army even though I am sick." Han Xuan's eyes lit up and he asked for help.
"Forget it." Liu Zhang shook his head: "I can't bear it. General Han is the pillar of my army. How can I take risks with illness? I'd better find another way."
After Liu Zhang finished speaking, he shook his head and went out.
Han Xuan thought for a long time on the hospital bed. Now that most of the Sichuan army has been poisoned, they must be as weak as himself. If their food and grass are destroyed again, Han Shou will definitely fall. This is a great opportunity.
Han Xuan had been thinking about the Changsha governor, which had already caused Huang Zhong to be defeated once. Han Xuan thought to himself that if he did not contact Liu Pan quickly, explain the whole story clearly, and make a great contribution, Liu Pan would definitely think that he had really surrendered to the enemy.
Then he would really be beyond redemption.
Han Xuan struggled to climb out of bed. There happened to be pen and ink in the room, so he immediately wrote a letter and sent it out of the city at night.
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
Huang Zhong came to see Liu Pan covered in blood. He knelt on the ground and the ground was stained red with blood. Liu Pan was shocked: "Why did the old general come here?"
Huang Zhong said angrily: "My lord, Han Xuan has really surrendered to the enemy. He wrote a letter and asked the general to raise a fire outside the city gate as a signal. Unexpectedly, he secretly ambushed the general. The general was first ambushed at the city gate and then captured.
In Dazhai, I finally saved my life after a bloody battle in the woods. The last general did not escape to survive. A defeated general should be a military law officer. The last general just wanted to tell the young master that Han Xuan, the traitor, had really taken refuge with Liu Zhang.
."
"Carry Old General Huang down for treatment."
Liu Pan turned to Chen Qin and said, "Second brother, what do you think of Han Xuan's surrender to the enemy?"
"I absolutely don't believe it." Chen Qin said with certainty: "Although Han Xuan is not a man of iron bones, he is the leader of a wealthy family in Changsha. No matter what, he will not ignore the life and death of the Han family. He can surrender to anyone, and he will never surrender.
Liu Zhang."
Liu Pan nodded silently: "I think so too, but how to explain Huang Zhong's defeat?"
Zhang Yi slowly shook his head, unable to think of the result.
The Jingzhou army was stationed outside Hanshou City. Liu Pan took the Jingzhou generals to observe Hanshou's defense in the mountains. Hanshou City was small and defended by thousands of elite troops. It would be difficult for 10,000 people to capture it in a short time. Liu Pan and Chen Qin were discussing countermeasures.
Panting, the soldier climbed up the mountain and presented a letter.
