"How is the situation Huang Zhong?" Liu Pan asked Huang Zhong when he saw Huang Zhong standing on the city wall and looking down at the military camp.
"I can't die yet!" Huang Zhong naturally knew that Liu Pan was not asking about his situation but his son, but now Huang Zhong, who had basically been annoyed, replied angrily. His son now only has a breath left, but Zhang Zhongjing said that in a short time there will be no danger to his life.
Although Huang Zhong had many times wanted to cut off his fellow doctor, Zhang Zhongjing, under normal circumstances, Huang Zhong still trusted Zhang Zhongjing. Since the other party said that his son would not die, he would not die.
"Oh ~" Liu Pan nodded and didn't ask much. Huang Xu's ability to live until now seems to be a miracle to him. Liu Pan knows a little better than most about Huang Zhong. Huang Zhong has some problems himself, otherwise, he won't be entangled with his one son. With Huang Zhong's performance against the world's first general, how many females will come if he beckons?
It is precisely because his son is half dead and the old Huang family will be gone at any time that Huang Zhong has no goal to struggle for. What are the titles and rank for? Is it actually still for his children and grandchildren? Without heirs, no matter how high your rank is or great the title is, will it not be empty in the end. In the end, when you died and see your ancestors underground, you say "Old Huang's family is dead". Huang Zhong feels that he has no face to see his ancestors.
Without the goal to struggle for, Huang Zhong would have little motivation. If Jiangling City is broken and Liu Biao died, it had nothing to do with him. If he died, he would die. What's the point of high official rank and honors? The only son was half alive without leaving him a grandson. Who are those things left to?
To tell the truth, if Yuan Shu now tells Huang Zhong that he can make Huang Xu return to normal, Huang Zhong can unscrew Liu Biao's head without hesitation, and there is absolutely no pressure to join Yuan Shu. After all, Liu Biao was not Huang Zhong's boss at all, nor was he even Huang Zhong's lord.
Because of this, Huang Zhong had no interest in fighting with Lu Bu at this time. He just dragged Lu Bu on time every day and did not let him lead the troops to attack the morale of the Jingzhou army. However, even if Huang Zhong did not try his best and just delayed Lu Bu, the Jingzhou army still respected Huang Zhong like a god. After all, Lu Bu would do too much damage to the morale if nobody could hold it.
It seems that Lu Bu is like a catapult in the ancient battlefield. In fact, he can't kill too many people when the army is stable, but that kind of catapult behavior is a great blow to morale. This is why even if catapults, siege crossbows, etc. can't kill that many people, many people still like to use them, because they can greatly reduce the morale of the enemy.
Lu Bu's existence is more disgusting than those things. According to some games, if Lu Bu appeared on the field, the enemy automatically reduces morale according to the round, and the morale of the enemy starts to increase without any upper limit.
One side's morale is high, and the other side's morale is low. After a long time, the low morale side has deserters, and it would not be a big problem to tie up the commander. Therefore, it is a disaster for a general like Lu Bu to appear on the field.
However, the original disaster was forcibly contained after Huang Zhong appeared. Lu Bu, the world's first general, was directly blocked under Jiangling City, regardless of whether Huang Zhong won or not. At least on the scene, both of them have suffered at most a minor injury that can be recovered the next day. Therefore, under the leadership of these fierce generals, the morale of the Jingzhou army gradually overwhelmed Yuan Shu's army, which was unable to take down the city repeatedly.
Liu Biao also saw the hope of winning from this day-to-day situation. The morale of Yuan Shu's forces continued to decline, while the morale of the Jingzhou Army continued to climb. Especially after Huang Zhong almost killed Ji Ling who came to persuade him to surrender. The morale completely overwhelmed Yuan Shu's troops. After all, Ji Ling, the enemy's head commander, was shot directly off the horse. If not for Lu Bu's help, it is estimated that Ji Ling would be killed by Huang Zhong with a single arrow.
However, Ji Ling was very smart. When he saw Huang Zhong appearing on the city wall when he came to persuade him, he knew that something was wrong, and he immediately turned over and dismounted. The horse, which had been with Ji Ling for many years, was nailed to the ground by Huang Zhong. The arrow, which is almost comparable to a short spear, shot a big hole the size of a sea bowl directly on the big yellow horse. It is estimated that if Ji Ling is directly hit, Ji Ling is dead.
In that cruel scene, Yuan Shu's soldiers took a step back. The death method was too cruel. Previously, Huang Zhong's light arrow just crushed the enemy into powder and this horrifying scene could not be seen. But now, this cruel scene directly cause Yuan Shu's army morale, which was not too high, to drop again!
Because of the huge deterrent force of Huang Zhong, Liu Biao has been attracting Huang Zhong recently. He has tempted Huang Zhong with high official rank, generous wealth, beautiful women, and mansions, hoping that this unowned person will turn to him. This made Liu Biao feel extremly helpless. Could it be that he is so bad?
"Lord, it has been found out that Huang Zhong is indeed a native of Jingzhou, but he has hidden problem. He has a son, and his son has been ill for several years. Because of this, Huang Zhong ignored his martial arts for many years and gave everything for his son. Zhang Zhongjing has said that Huang Zhong's son will not survive for more than two years and Huang Zhong has already given up on himself." Kuai Yue told Liu Biao all the information he had recently.
Suddenly Liu Biao realized that it was not his lack of charisma, virtue, and unfair rewards, but Huang Zhong's own problem.
"Kuai Yue, in this way, the way we solicited before was wrong." Liu Biao touched his beard and said. The situation has been improving recently. Liu Biao has seen the hope of winning. Jiangling is not short of money. Even if Yuan Shu siege for a year or two they will not stop cooking! Liu Biao has time and Yuan Shu doesn't.
"The hero is wise. There is indeed a problem with our previous method. For a person whose heir may die at any time, how many official ranks and titles are meaningless. There are three types of filial pieties, and no future is great. I think we can try it from this aspect. As far as I know, Huang Zhong is a loyal general, and as long as he surrenders, he will not turn his back on his master! "Kuai Yue said solemnly. The battle of Jingzhou has made him grow a lot. The generals, especially this kind of generals who are strong enough to reverse the war situation are absolutely necessary to win over.
"Since that's the case..." Liu Biao whispered in Kuai Yue's ear. As a fifty-year-old old rogue who still gave birth to Liu Chong with Lady Cai, Huang Zhong's hidden problem is not a problem at all. He is a professional!
After speaking, Liu Biao fumbled inside his sleeves and took out a small porcelain bottle.
After handing it over to Kuai Yue, Liu Biao found that Kuai Yue had been staring at his sleeve and was a little embarrassed. His old face blushed. "Not yet! If you don't win over Huang Zhong, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Kuai Yue didn't know whether to cry or laugh but said nothing. He just put away the porcelain bottle and then bowed back, but when he walked away, he always felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. What is wrong?
