Chapter 685 Untitled (2)
"Elder General Huang?" The crowd of people next to him looked at Huang Gai over there and then Han Dang beside him. How could these two men become like this?
"This, this, this!" Han Dang didn't understand either, so he opened his mouth and waited for Huang Gai with his eyes to hope Huang Gai could give him an explanation.
"Hey!" Huang Gai sighed. He also thought that the surrender of the Grand Commander was a fake thing, but it was all true. The reason why Huang Gai was able to confirm the news was because Zhou Yu wrote a letter to Huang Gai. Zhou Yu could not come in person because he was injured, so he had to write a letter to his subordinates and pass it to Huang Gai's hands.
The letter describes a promise made by King Liu Mang of Shu to Zhou Yu, and also a consequence.
If it is just a reward for Sun Ce, then Huang Gai will ignore it without saying a word and ignore it. At worst, it will be a death. However, this also involves the survival of Sun Ce and even the entire Sun family, so Huang Gai hesitated.
Huang Gai still remembers that when Sun Jian died, those words were vivid in his mind. Even though Sun Jian had a sneak attack by Huang Zu, he was shot into a hornet's nest by the enemy's longbow, he finally asked Huang Gai and others to leave, not to avenge him, but let Huang Gai and others take Sun Ce and Sun Quan and let them live a safe life.
But at that time Huang Gai broke his promise. After they returned to Yuzhou, they were annexed by Yuan Shu, which forced Sun Ce and Sun Quan, the two Sun brothers, to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the entire Sun family with their very small bodies.
Sun Ce even endured humiliation and was even more overwhelmed. He called his uncle here and his adopted father there. It was because of his guilt towards the old lord Gongsun Jian that Huang Gai was shaken and helped Sun Ce fight in the east. Even though he was physically and mentally tired, he wanted to protect the Sun family even if he was trying his best to do so.
Huang Gai couldn't get in the fight between Sun Quan and Sun Ce, but he also knew that no matter who won the two of them, they were all losers. Because there was only one person who won, that was Liu Mang, the King of Shu in Yangzhou. Now Liu Mang promised not to kill the Sun family brothers. He even asked Sun Ce to continue to command the troops. In order to protect the Sun family, why bother if Huang Gai surrendered!
"Public rebuttal, this is the conspiracy of King Liu Mang of Shu. How can I believe it?" Han Dang said in his eyes as he looked at Huang Gai over there. Han Dang had changed his name to Liu Mang without realizing it, and no longer called Liu Mang's younger son.
"Otherwise!" Huang Gai smiled bitterly. His hair was full of hair and his eyes were already vicissitudes. He had no choice. If he chose to resist, then what was left for him, Huang Gai even said that the Sun family would be dead. If he surrendered, although it might be a mirror, it was also an expectation, right?
Now the whole situation is no longer allowed. They have no capital to negotiate with Liu Mang, the King of Shu in Yangzhou.
"Yigong. Go back. If you don't want to surrender, be a rich man. Remember not to be an enemy of Liu Mang, the King of Shu in Yangzhou." Huang Gai was tired, so he waved his hand to Han Dang over there. The title of surrender and the title of surrender will be left to him Huang Gai alone. There is no need to involve Han Dang as well. Liu Mang wants the true return of Jiangdong's generals. Only a prestigious person like Huang Gai can calm these unruly generals of Jiangdong, so it would be better for him to be Huang Gai alone. In this way, Han Dang can still have a good reputation of dying and not surrendering when he is old.
"Public replies, who do you think of me, Han Dang as? What did you say before, it is difficult to share happiness. Do you want to become an official in Yangzhou? If you want to enjoy happiness, you will abandon me, Han Dang!" Han Dang said loudly to Huang Gai from the side.
Going to Yangzhou to enjoy happiness? Being a high-ranking official? This is completely a ridiculous mockery of Han Dang, but Huang Gai was not at all difficult, but instead felt relieved. Han Dang did not want to bear the infamy alone, and he wanted to bear it with him, so he said that this was going to enjoy happiness, in order to make Huang Gai feel a little more comfortable.
"It's okay!" Huang Gai smiled. It's rare to have a few confidants in life.
"Bang bang bang!" Just as everyone was still digesting this amazing news on Huang Gai's mansion, someone suddenly discovered that Huang Gai's mansion was completely surrounded, and a group of fully armed zombies rushed into Huang Gai's mansion.
"What are you doing? Do you know where this place is? Get out of here quickly!" The roaring voice of the Huang family housekeeper came over.
"I don't know where this place is. I only know that I am here to convey the order. If I stop it, I will kill you!" A general's cold voice came over.
"I think who dares to act wildly in my Huang family!" Huang Gai is a military general family, and there are still many generals and guards in the family. They also pulled out their swords and confronted the fully armed soldiers outside.
"Are you really going to stop me?"
"Hmph, this is the Huang family, not your Yangzhou!" A young man said unruly to the Yangzhou soldiers over there.
"Okay! I want to see if you can block it and draw the sword! Remember my words, if there is any blocking, kill it!" The young soldier ordered the next group of people to unsheath the swords in their hands.
"Major General!" The Huang family generals next to him also pulled out the sword, but it was obvious that they were not confident enough, because the Yangzhou soldiers brought were all fully armed, and they were just a sword in their hands.
"Hmph, they broke into private houses. Could it be that King Liu Mang of Shu doesn't talk about the king's laws?" Although this young man named Major General was still tough, he was obviously a little guilty.
"Stop!" Just as this person called Major General was guilty, a steady voice rang.
Everyone turned their eyes and it turned out that Huang Gai and a group of Jiangdong generals came from the backyard.
"Father!" The man who was called the Major General showed joy on his face, because his father was the backbone of the Huang family. The generals of the Huang family were also stunned. Their heads appeared and their morale increased greatly.
"Father, look at them, break into our mansion!" The young man, who was called the Major General, came up and pointed to the Yangzhou soldiers over there and said to his father. He wanted to get his father's praise, but who knew.
"Bang!" A loud voice sounded, and Huang Gai slapped his son in the face.
"Father?" Huang Gai's son Huang Bing, the eldest son of Huang Bing, looked at his father in disbelief. This eldest son Huang is not the eldest son Huang She in Jingzhou. The eldest son Huang She is ignorant, while Huang Bing and Huang is a person with real talent and knowledge. Although he is not so outstanding, he is very satisfied among the second generation of martial arts.
So Huang Gai has always praised Huang Bing a lot, and the punishment is just verbal. When did he slap him like this? He even slapped him in public. Huang Bing hoped that his father would give him an explanation, but he only heard Huang Gai's cold voice "Kneel down!"
"Father?" Huang Bing didn't understand even more.
"I asked you to kneel down, don't you understand?" Huang Gai looked at his son coldly.
"Public refusal?" Han Dang was about to plead for Huang Gai's son, his nephew Huang Bing, but was stopped by Huang Gai's waves.
Seeing that Uncle Han Dang could not even dissuade his father, Huang Bing had to kneel down and kneel in front of Huang Gai.
"It's not that you kneel in front of me, but in front of the general opposite, like this general, apologizing!" Huang Gai continued to speak.
"No, father, I won't!" Huang Bing stubbornly said that they have always been loyal ministers, and they regard not surrendering as honor. Now you let him kneel down in front of the Yangzhou army? How could they agree? It would be better to kill him.
"Kneel down, you are my Huang family. If you don't kneel down, just get out. There is no Huang Bing in the Huang family anymore!" Huang Gai closed his eyes and said coldly to Huang Bing.
Huang Bing didn't understand what happened to his father. He suddenly became so strange, but he didn't know that Huang Gai was saving him. It was not the time now. If Jiangdong's surname was Sun, then Huang Bing could speak like this. If Huang Gai did not have Zhou Yu's letter, then Huang Bing could do it too. Huang Gai would still appreciate him. At worst, he would just die.
But now it is not possible. Jiangdong no longer has his surname Sun, but has become Liu. In order to make the lord and the second son survive, Huang Gai had to bow his head. If Huang Bing continues like this, he would be killed. So Huang Gai is saving his son.
Huang Bing stared at his father. If the father and son continue like this, they will definitely have a big fight.
The Yangzhou general who had been watching the show there spoke, "Godbye, General Huang, let the young master stop me, that's because he doesn't understand the matter." If Huang Gai had not appeared, the Huang family might have really experienced a bloody storm today. While Liu Mang comforted the Jiangdong group of generals, he also wanted them to remember some bloody lessons, that is, those who surrendered had carrots to eat, and those who resisted stubbornly would wait for the beheading, but unfortunately, they were stopped by Huang Gai.
Seeing that he could not kill anyone, the Yangzhou general would not bother him too much. He simply gave him a step.
"I'm here, I believe that General Huang should know something!"
"Please speak!" Huang Gai's attitude was very good.
"Okay! Huang Gai, Han Danghe, quickly kneel down to pick up Yu!" The Yangzhou general took out a Shangyu in his hand. Huang Gai and Han Dang both knelt down.
Shangyu wrote about the enthronement of Huang Gai and Han Dang, so it was natural that there was no possibility for them to lead troops. Liu Mang's arrangement for these two men was to join the Ministry of War to be responsible for the coordination of some lists. He was equivalent to a person like a staff officer and had no real power. Giving them this is to let them play their remaining energy. Liu Mang was still waiting for Huang Gai and Han Dang to give lectures in the Military Academy in Yangzhou. His official position was not small, at least two thousand stones, and he would give them a pension.
Some other Jiangdong Army generals also gave official positions one by one. If they join the army, they would go to Yangzhou Military Academy to return. If they don’t join the army, they would give Li Yan there and asked Li Yan’s armed forces to arrange these individuals as a person who maintains public order. (To be continued)
