Chapter 608 Old Huang Zhong (begging for the moon)
Chapter 608 Old Huang Zhong (please vote for me!)
Huang Zhongnian was 54 years old, two years older than Cao Cao.
If he is the commander-in-chief of an army, this age is just right. At 54 years old, he is at the peak of his experience and intelligence. But when it comes to fighting in battle, it is obviously not suitable. As the saying goes, old age is not good.
Using muscles and bones as energy. Fighting between two formations and decapitating a general in a million-strong army is different from one-on-one combat. In a chaotic army, it relies heavily on the courage of blood and energy.
.At the age of 54, his energy and blood are definitely not as strong as those of his youth. Generally speaking, in the army at this age, he is considered a veteran.
Huang Zhongguan paid homage to Zhonglang General, which sounded very majestic.
But the problem is that there are too many generals after the Yellow Turbans, and they have long been worthless.
All prefectures and counties can appoint Zhonglang General, and the official position is no longer above the court. For this reason, Huang Zhong, the Zhonglang General, is more of a position similar to honor, and its power is not even as good as that of a school captain.
After all, the captain can directly command the troops, but Huang Zhong, the lieutenant general, did not have a single soldier in his hands. When he was in Changsha, Liu Pan relied heavily on him and harassed Jiangdong many times, which caused Sun Quan a headache. Later, Sun Quan
It was only by sending Tai Shici that he withstood Huang Zhong's attack... But Pang De didn't know this.
"Being an old soldier, Bo Ping will only inflate other people's ambitions and destroy his own prestige."
There was a bit of disdain in Pound's words.
As a result, his attitude towards Li Yan also became a little contemptuous.
Pang De was not friendly to Li Yan.
This man was aloof and conceited, which made Pang De very unhappy. His previous display of airs in front of Cao Peng made Pang De even more disgusted with him.
However, Cao Peng admired Li Yan's abilities very much.
The captain of the Huyang Tongbing School did not have many troops, but he was responsible for the southern barrier of Cao Peng.
After Pang De arrived in Huyang, he had several contacts with Li Yan. This man was capable, but a little too ambitious. Overall, he couldn't be said to like him, nor was he too dismissive. But now, he was unexpectedly attacked by an old pawn.
"Why does Boping need to worry about an old soldier?
He is going to Tangzi Township now, but he has not yet established a stable footing. He will lead his troops and launch a sneak attack tonight to recapture Tangzi Township and take the head of the old soldier."
Kuai Zheng was still trying to persuade him, but he felt someone gently tugging on his robe behind him.
Turning his head to look, he saw Li Yan shaking his head gently, indicating that he should stop talking.
After saying this, Pang De cupped his hands towards Kuai Zheng and strode away. Kuai Zheng was anxious and hurriedly raised his feet to catch up with Pang De and stop him, but was stopped by Li Yan again.
"Zhengfang, why are you stopping me?"
Kuai Zheng was annoyed and said sternly: "Ling Ming is not from Nanyang, so he doesn't know how powerful Han Sheng is.
But you should know very well that Huang Hansheng is very brave. Although he is over fifty years old, he is as honest as Zhao's general. If Ling Ming despises Huang Zhong, he will be defeated miserably."
Li Yan smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Does Zhenggong think General Pang can listen?"
"this……"
Kuai Zheng immediately closed his mouth.
Pang De was Cao Peng's favorite general. It is said that when Cao Peng was in Liangzhou, he spent a lot of effort to conquer Pang De. When Cao Peng was dismissed from office and was sent to Xingyang, Pang De gave up his glory and wealth and was willing to follow Cao Peng.
Thousands of miles, from Liangzhou to Xingyang, to be an insignificant Yamen general. It can be said that Pang De's loyalty to Cao Peng is beyond doubt. And Cao Peng's trust in Pang De is unparalleled.
It has been nearly half a year since I defected to Cao Peng.
Kuai Zheng also had a general understanding of Cao Peng's team.
When Cao Peng took office from Xingyang, he did not bring many personal followers. The reason was that most of Cao Peng's team were concentrated in the Liangzhou area and could not escape. Others, such as Deng Zhi, came from the sect of Cao Peng's brother-in-law Deng Ji.
, most of them were temporarily conquered...
Although Du Ji and Lu Yu were Cao Peng's staff, they were not considered close confidants.
When Cao Peng came to Nanyang County, he only had one real personal attendant, and that was Pang De and Pang Lingming.
This man is highly skilled in martial arts and has the courage to be unstoppable. But because of this, he has a high spirit... and others who are idle may not take him seriously. Although he is extremely respectful to Kuai Zheng, more often than not, it is because of Kuai Zheng.
He took care of Cao Peng in the right year, so he had respect for him.
For such a person, you say to him: Although Huang Zhong is old, he is very powerful.
Not only will it fail to persuade Pound, but it will also make him angry and even think that you look down on him.
To be honest, if Kuai Zheng had not known that Huang Zhong was powerful, he might not have taken him seriously as a 54-year-old pawn. Li Yan was right. Persuading Pound at this time would not have any effect, and would even make Pound
He became even more angry and turned against Kuai Zheng. After ten years of wasted time, Kuai Zheng was no longer the high-spirited Jiyang Ling of the past. He knew how many bowls of rice he could eat and didn't have many ideas.
Cao Peng offered him the position of chief of Huyang, and he gladly accepted it.
If Cao Peng transferred him back to Wuyin, he would not refuse.
If you do things down-to-earth and have fewer distracting thoughts, you may be able to live a better life!
Kuai Zheng was shouldering the mission of his family. From the moment he defected to Cao Peng, he was no longer the same Kuai Boping he was before.
"But Ming Ming doesn't know how powerful Huang Zhong is. What if..."
"Don't worry, Mr. Zheng, Yan just said to stop persuading, but he didn't say to sit idly by and ignore it.
After General Pang left for a while, Yan immediately led the troops to follow up. If General Pang wins, Yan will hold his troops still; if General Pang is in danger, Yan can adapt to the situation and support General Pang. However, Liu Hu's use of troops against Huyang may not be just for the purpose.
It is Tangzi Township. Now Du Bohou has led his troops to support Jiyang, and Jiunu City has no reinforcements. Huyang soldiers and horses alone cannot resist Liu Hu's army... Although Cao Taishou ordered people to ask for reinforcements from Runan,
However, Runan's reinforcements also need time to prepare and may not be available immediately...
Lord Zheng, please immediately send someone to Wuyin to report to Governor Cao.
If Tangzi Township can be recaptured, then Tangzi Township will be used as a barrier to block the enemy's advance; if Tangzi Township cannot be recaptured, Zhenggong needs to prepare early, and a fierce battle will surely come in Huyang."
After hearing this, Kuai Zheng nodded repeatedly.
What Li Yan said is very reasonable.
He thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "In that case, just follow what Zhengfang said.
You immediately mobilize troops and horses and sneak up behind General Pang; I will send someone to notify the prefect and at the same time recruit troops and horses to prepare for a decisive battle with Liu Hu.
Zhengfang, if I am in trouble, Huyang will rely on you and Ling Ming.
Although Ling Ming is high-spirited, he is not an unreasonable person... You must help me well, and your success in the future will be better than mine."
Once these words were spoken, they were equivalent to Kuai Zheng's last words.
Although Li Yan said he was proud and noble, he respected Kuai Zheng very much.
At first, he was so arrogant that he was abandoned by Cao Peng. He was already disheartened and ready to leave Nanyang, but unexpectedly Kuai Zheng asked him by name, brought him to Huyang, and entrusted him with important tasks. This kindness of knowing and meeting Li Li
How could Yan not be grateful? Although Kuai Zheng was not very capable, Li Yan obeyed him and respected him. Later, I learned from Kuai Zheng that it was Cao Peng who pointed him out and he activated Li Yan. However, Li Yan did not reduce his respect for him at all.
Kuai Zheng's respect, and even more admiration because of this... In his opinion, Cao Peng was kind to him, but Kuai Zheng's virtue deserves his respect even more. Li Yan took a deep breath and handed over his hand with a promise: "Sir, stop talking."
These words mean that as long as Yan is still alive, he will do his best to assist Mr. Zheng. If something happens to you, Mr. Zheng, Yan will be dead... Although Huang Hansheng is brave, Li Yan is not afraid of him as an old pawn. "
Kuai Zheng heard this and laughed!
"Okay, I'm just talking casually, why should you take it seriously?
Go down and get ready. I will send someone to inform the prefect... Damn Liu Xuande. Nanyang County finally calmed down, but because of him alone, Huyang suffered a military disaster. I will inform my uncle about this as soon as possible and ask them to
In Xiangyang, try to save the situation..."
Li Yan said nothing.
Kuai Zheng's idea is good, but it is a bit naive.
When Liu Hu sent troops, regardless of whether it was Liu Biao's idea or not, Huyang could not avoid a bitter battle.
If this is Liu Biao's intention, none of them can stop it; if it is not Liu Biao's intention, in order to protect the interests of the Liu family, Liu Biao will fully support Liu Hu. It only depends on how Cao Peng responds! Once Liu Biao makes up his mind, then the whole of Nanyang
, will all fall into turmoil!

Pound ordered his troops and horses and headed straight for Tangzi Township.
As night fell, he arrived at the foot of Tangzi Mountain...
Looking from a distance, we can see the Jingzhou Army Camp, built against the mountain and located on the official road.
At night, the barracks were brightly lit. Only the sound of people could be heard, which was particularly noisy. A scout came to report: Because the Jingzhou Army had won a great victory, Liu Hu sent people to bring wine and food to comfort the soldiers. At this time, the Jingzhou Army
The camp was celebrating and the guards were very lax.
Is there such a thing?
Pound couldn't help but feel overjoyed and secretly said: God help me!
This shows that the Jingzhou Army did not guard against itself at all.
Whether they underestimate the enemy or are incompetent, as long as they recapture Tangzi Township, the gateway to Huyang can be closed again...
When the time comes, even if Liu Biao spends all his troops in Jingzhou, he will still be sure to keep Liu Biao south of Tangzi Township.
Thinking of this, Pang De said softly: "Give me the order to stop the march of the troops and horses.
The man does not take off his armor, and the horse does not take off his saddle, waiting for my order... Li Zhengfang exaggerated. Huang Zhong may have been powerful back then, but now he is just an old soldier. It seems that he was afraid of taking responsibility, so he exaggerated. An old soldier, why need to sue?
Young Master? Let me take the old soldier's bright head today, so that I can embarrass Li Zhengfang when I get back, and also vent my anger on you for the slight I made against Li Zhengfang."
Immediately, Pound led his troops and lurked at the foot of Tangzi Mountain.
Night fell over Tangzi Township, and the Jingzhou Army camp gradually became quiet.
However, the lights in the camp were still bright. From Pang De's perspective, he could clearly see the flashing light in the camp.
Pound, get on your horse and draw out the Tiger Roaring Saber.
He slowly pulled off the visor on his helmet, covering most of his face, leaving only his eyes and mouth exposed.
He tightened his gauntlet, raised his sword, pointed forward, and then galloped out. The war horse held a gold medal in its mouth, wrapped its hooves in straw, and walked in silence.
Behind him, more than a thousand elite soldiers walked silently.
Seeing that he was approaching the gate of the Jingzhou military camp, Pang De took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "My sons, follow me to the camp."
The black horse, treading on the snow under its crotch, neighed loudly, like a sharp arrow from the string, and galloped out. Thousands of elite soldiers shouted in unison, followed closely behind Pang De, and in the blink of an eye, they rushed into the Jingzhou Army camp...
