Chapter 85 Fierce Battle in Hanzhong

"What my lord said is absolutely true!"

Because he killed Xia Houyuan in battle, Huang Zhong was named the General of the Conquest of the West, stroking his long white beard with a look of disobedience and arrogance on his face.

"It's just a thief, why should we be afraid of him?"

Zhuge Kongming shook his feather fan gently, with a spring-breathing smile on his face all the time.

"It is my lord's blessing that the old general has this ambition. However, it is unwise to attack blindly, especially using one's own shortcomings to attack another's strong points."

He glanced at Liu Bei, who was always there, and then at Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun in the military camp, and said: "I heard a report today: Cao Cao led an army of 200,000 to avenge Xia Houyuan.

Zhang He carried grain and grass at Micang Mountain and moved it to the foot of the northern mountain of Han River."

He bowed to Liu Bei and said:

"Now that we have brought a large number of troops here, we are afraid that there will not be enough food and grass, so we will hold back the troops and not advance. If one person penetrates deep into the territory, burns their food and grass, and seizes their baggage, their vigor will be dampened."

After saying that, his eyes wandered gently over the generals under the tent.

Huang Zhong immediately rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward and said, "I am willing to take up this post."

Zhuge Kongming's eyes brightened. He glanced at Zhao Zilong beside Huang Zhong, deliberately provoked him, and said: "Cao is not as good as Xia Houyuan. You must not underestimate the enemy. You must have a brave general in the army to take up this position!"

There was excitement in Zhao Zilong's eyes, but before he stepped forward to speak, Liu Xuande, who was sitting on the main seat, spoke first.

"Although Xiahou Yuan is the commander-in-chief, he is a brave man. How can he be as good as Zhang He? If he can kill Zhang He, he will be ten times better than Xiahou Yuan."

When the veteran Huang Zhong heard this, his heart suddenly surged. He clasped his fists with both hands and said loudly: "I am willing to kill him."

"The general is also willing to go!"

If he doesn't talk, he won't be able to get this job. Although Zilong has the style of a Confucian general, he still has to stand up when it's time to stand up.

"good!"

Liu Bei stood up with a wine bottle in his hand and said loudly: "With two generals here, why can't we kill Zhang He? Kill the Cao thieves!"

He drank all the wine in his hand, and then said to Zhuge Liang: "You, the military advisor, will arrange the matters involved!"

"promise!"

After Kong Ming received the order, he immediately said: "General Huang Lao and General Zilong will lead an army together to seize food and kill generals. Let's see who makes the meritorious service!"

"The last general takes command!"

"promise!"

Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun clasped their fists and accepted the order. They looked at each other, as if there were fire and lightning in their eyes, and they were wrestling with each other.

Zhao Yun thought: General Huang has already killed Xiahou Yuan. I can't lose him this time and let him get the credit again.

But Huang Zhong thought to himself: I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice, and you still want to take credit from me? Besides, I am the commander-in-chief and you are the deputy-general, how can you compete first?

The two of them competed against each other, full of fighting spirit!

They each received military orders and left their tents.

After the two left, Fazheng coughed, shook his head and said, "This time they can just go and grab the food. Why did they have to fight for it?"

Zhuge Liang smiled softly and said, "It's better to grab the food than to eat it yourself. The two generals intend to compete for credit, and the matter of seizing the food will definitely succeed!"

"I heard that my son has entered Nanzhong and he is leading troops for the first time. I wonder what's going on?"

After the generals dispersed, Liu Bei finally frowned when he faced his confidants Fazheng and Zhuge Liang.

Just now, he must not show a sad face in front of everyone.

The lord is worried, how can the soldiers below still be willing to fight?

"My lord, please relax, you and I have watched the young master grow up. Doesn't my lord know his temperament?"

Fa Zheng comforted Liu Bei.

Zhuge Liang also responded from the side.

"Young master is planning a decisive victory thousands of miles away. This time Yong Kai in Nanzhong has a rebellious heart, he is the first to discover it. Since he dares to send troops, he is sure of it. Why worry, my lord? Kuang Xiaoyingruo

If you want to spread your wings and fly high, how can you do it without going through hardships? If you see the young master Hu Gu, a veteran in the army, and a civil servant in Chengdu, who not only has the talent to govern the country, but also has the ability to lead an army, how can you not yearn for him and be loyal to him to the death?"

The truth, of course, is this truth.

But as parents, how can we not worry about our children?

Moreover, among Liu Bei's subordinates, Liu Chan was the most popular and the most popular.

Experience is definitely necessary, but if you pass it and the good steel is broken, then the gain outweighs the loss.

"What you are saying is absolutely true. My son is a man of great luck. He is blessed with great luck and great blessings. This time he conquers Nanzhong, I think he will be victorious!"

How can I, Liu Bei, be ordinary?

Thinking of this, Liu Bei also dismissed the worries in his heart.

If you can't even conquer the barbarians in the south, how can you compete with Cao A'ao and Sun Shiwan for hegemony in the world?

Even if it’s a mule or a horse, it needs to be pulled out and trained!

On the other side, Huang Zhong, who was striving for merit, called his deputy Zhang Zhuo that night.

Huang Zhong is short in stature, with a face like old tree bark, and a body like a strong man. He has an orange beard, gray temples, and piercing eyes. The deep wrinkles under his eyes reveal his tenacity and courage that have gone through vicissitudes of life. He has clear joints and strong muscles.

He is already over seventy years old, but he still exudes a sharp aura.

At this moment, he is wearing iron armor and carrying a bow and arrow on his back, like a tiger ready to attack, which makes people feel awe.

"Old General."

Zhang Zhang was wearing armor and saluted Huang Zhong.

"General Zilong wants to compete with me for credit. We must be one step ahead of him, burn Cao's army's food and fodder, and seize his baggage in order to gain full credit!"

He did not wait to open his mouth to speak, and said: "I have killed Xia Houyuan, Zhang He will definitely be frightened. I will take orders tomorrow to rob the grain and grass, leaving only 500 troops to guard the camp. You can lead the troops to help. By the third watch tonight, everyone will be full."

Eat; leave the camp at the fourth watch, fight to the foot of Beishan, capture Zhang He first, and then rob the grain and grass."

As soon as he heard that there was an opportunity to perform meritorious deeds, Zhang Zhang was excited and immediately accepted the order!

"promise!"

It's night.

The clouds are dense, the moonlight is blocked by dark clouds, and there is a depressing atmosphere in the mountains and forests. The surface of the Han River is slightly rippled with light, making a faint sound of water, reflecting the lights in the distance. On Dingjun Mountain, the dots of bonfires exude a faint light.

The light seemed to ignite the flame of life in the dark night. The roars of wild beasts came from the mountains intermittently, which made people uneasy.

In the night, under the cover of mist, blurry figures hurried past. They were soldiers in armor and war horses with their legs and feet wrapped in cloth strips. They were silent, like ghosts in the dark night.

That night Huang Zhong led his troops in front, Zhang Zhang behind, and stole across the Han River to the foot of Beishan.

The sun rises in the east, and under the Beishan Mountains, the grain and grass transferred from Guanzhong are piled up like mountains.

There were only a few armored Cao army sergeants guarding the area.

"Come and kill with me!"

Time is life at this moment, and there is no room for carelessness. Huang Zhong took the lead and started charging with the Huanshou knife in hand.

The cavalry behind him also followed closely behind.

"Come on!"

"Kill~"

The momentum is unprecedented.

Seeing the Shu soldiers arriving, the soldiers of Cao Cao who were guarding the food and grass looked horrified. They dared not stay and abandoned the food and left one after another, for fear of becoming the dead souls of the Shu soldiers who were all over the mountains and fields.

Seeing the enemy troops fleeing, Huang Zhong immediately ordered: "The horse troops dismounted together, took firewood and piled it on the rice and grain, and burned all Cao's army's grain and grass!"

Huhuhu~

The fire was blowing by the mountain breeze in the early morning, and it tended to become more and more intense.

At this time, dust was flying in the distance, and there were shouts of killing. The person rushing forward was a tall, broad-shouldered and fierce general named Zhang He.

He has long brown hair and slightly eerie deep eyes, giving him an extraordinary temperament. He has a dark complexion, a neatly trimmed short beard, and looks energetic.

At this moment, Zhang He holds a spear in his hand and rides his horse to kill!

"If the thief general dares to sneak attack on the grain, come quickly and die!"

Huang Zhong stepped forward without fear.

"I could kill Xia Houyuan that day, and I can kill you Zhang Junyi today!"

The two men fought hand to hand and immediately killed each other.
