"Huang Zhong hasn't made any moves these past few days!" The Lvbu's Army's strategy of disrupting the morale of the troops didn't work. They originally thought that Huang Zhong would come to test the waters for the sake of his son's life even if it was fake. However, who would have thought that there would be no movement at all. Moreover, Deputy General Su Fei trusted Huang Zhong enough. Not only did nothing happen, Huang Zhong trusted Huang Zhong even more.
His navy moved their tents closer to the army's camp.
If Huang Zhong didn't react, then all their plans would be for naught.
Do they really have to attack?! Lü Bu had a headache.
At this moment, Chen Gong suddenly rushed in. "My lord, great news! Great news!"
"Great news? Where did the news come from? "Lü Bu felt strange. It was rare for Chen Gong to be like this.
"Great news!" Chen Gong couldn't help but gasp for breath. He was too anxious and hadn't recovered from running just now.
"Slow down, Gongtai!" Lü Bu went forward and patted Chen Gong's shoulder to help him breathe.
"Cough cough cough cough!" Chen Gong finally recovered after coughing for a while. "My lord, we have gained a lot in Jiang Xia!"
"Gained a lot? Could it be that Huang Zu is retreating and is willing to let us pass through?! " If that was the case, it would be best. They had been trapped outside Huangzhou City by Huang Zhong for more than ten days. The Lvbu's Army didn't have enough provisions. They still had to go to Xinye and then go to Hanzhong.
"It's not Huang Zu who is retreating. It's Huang Xu, Huang Xu!" Chen Gong said excitedly.
"Huang Xu? Who is that?! "Lü Bu thought for a while. He didn't remember such a person.
"Huang Xu is Huang Zhong's son, his only son!" Chen Gong explained.
"You've found out something?!" Chen Gong was in charge of intelligence. His intelligence personnel had already been sent to Jiang Xia. Even if they knew the news, it had nothing to do with being overjoyed.
"It's not that we've found out the information. It's Huang Xu. Huang Xu is in our hands!" Chen Gong said indifferently. He finally recovered.
"What!" Now it was Lü Bu's turn to be shocked. He suddenly sat up, "What did you say!"
"I said Huang Xu, Huang Zhong's only son, is in our hands!" Chen Gong repeated. It turned out that the Lvbu's Army was lucky. Chen Gong only sent a team of scouts to Jiang Xia to find out information about Huang Xu. However, for some reason, Jiang Xia was heavily guarded. The scouts didn't know how to enter Jiang Xia. However, they encountered a group of Jiang Xia's soldiers in the dense forest of Jiang Xia. After the two sides met, a fight broke out.
Originally, the scouts were few in number and should have been defeated. However, who would have thought that many of Jiang Xia's soldiers were injured and didn't have enough strength. Therefore, the scouts killed all of them except for one or two who were left alive.
After interrogation, they found out that this group of Jiang Xia's soldiers were actually the personal guards of the eldest son of Jiang Xia, Huang She. They appeared outside Jiang Xia to kidnap Huang Zhong's son, Huang Xu. Therefore, the scouts brought Huang Xu back.
"Huang Zu's son kidnapped Huang Xu?!" Lü Bu didn't understand. Huang Zhong was a general in Jiang Xia. It was only because Huang Zhong was there that Jiang Xia's safety was guaranteed. As Huang Zu's son, why would Huang She kidnap his general's family? Was he digging his own grave?
"Military power!" Chen Gong answered Lü Bu's doubts. "Huang She is Jiang Xia's young master, but Huang Zu has never given him military power. Moreover, Huang Zu has a younger son who is in his teens this year. Huang Zu is very fond of him!"
"Military power!?" Lü Bu was silent. Was it worth it for such a thing? How many families of feudal vassals turned against each other for this thing? Brothers became enemies. It was really tempting.
"So, the one in charge of the opposing army is Huang She!" Lü Bu walked out of the tent and looked in the direction of Huang She.
"If Huang She uses Huang Xu as a threat, I'm afraid that Huang Zhong will really submit!" Chen Gong said.
"Is that so!" Lü Bu shook his head. It was a pity that he was sold to the wrong person. He had worked hard for Jiang Xia, but later on, he was sold by his master's son.
"Tomorrow morning, we will continue to fight. Let's see who is in charge of Huang Zhou!" Lü Bu ordered.
The group of generals accepted the order and returned to their respective camps.
-----
The next morning, before dawn, the entire Lü Bu started to move. They started a fire to cook, the war drums started to rumble, and the war machines started to move.
The Jiangxia Army still did not move. They continued to defend the city. This was Huang Zhong's style.
The Lvbu's Army tried to attack the city. After losing hundreds of lives, they finally saw the general of the Jiangxia Army on the city wall.
With Huang Xu as the leader, a group of Jiangxia civil and military officials were looking at the Lvbu's Army below the city wall.
"He's still there?!" Lü Bu's sharp eyes saw the old longbow general on the city wall. "Could it be that Huang She didn't seize military power?!" Logically speaking, Huang Zhong should have handed over his military power by now. Why was he still on the city wall?
"No! Huang Zhong no longer has military power! "Chen Gong said with a smile." Lord, look, Huang Xu and Huang Zhong's positions! " Logically speaking, the person standing in front should be the head of the army. Even if Huang She was the young master of Jiangxia, he was only a quartermaster. He still needed to stand behind Huang Zhong.
However, it was obvious that Huang She was in charge. Huang Zhong had already become a bystander.
"So this is the Lvbu's Army!" Huang She stood on the city wall of Huangzhou and watched the Lvbu's Army below. The Lvbu's Army had tried to attack the city several times but failed. Only a few dozen corpses were left at the foot of the city wall. Huang She didn't think it was difficult. "It's just so-so!"
"Prince She, don't be careless!" Huang Zhong said in a low voice. "This is just the Lvbu's Army's probing." Huang Zhong had handed over his military power. However, he didn't want to see these soldiers being led to their deaths by Huang She, so he reminded him.
"Did I ask you to speak?!" Huang She didn't appreciate his words. He sneered, "Who asked you to call Prince She? Who told you to call Prince She?!"
"You!" Huang Zhong raised his head and glared at him.
"Why don't you want to see your son!" Huang She whispered into Huang Zhong's ear.
"Yes!" Huang Zhong suddenly clenched his arms, trying to calm himself down. He took a deep breath and said, "Master, I'm sorry!" Huang Zhong lowered his proud head.
"That's a good boy! Since you're a dog, you should have the awareness of being a dog! "Huang She patted Huang Zhong's face. His patting was so heavy that it made a 'pa pa pa' sound.
Huang She looked at the Lvbu's Army. Although he took over the military power through underhanded means, it didn't mean that he was an idiot. He also knew that the Lvbu's Army wasn't easy to deal with, so he didn't dare to act rashly. However, his eagerness to gain merit made it difficult for him to make a decision. Most importantly, he had sold a lot of the army's rations. Huang Zhong wanted to deplete the Lvbu's Army's rations and force the Lvbu's Army to retreat. He was afraid that the Jiangxia Army would run out of rations before that happened.
Therefore, Huang She was anxious to defeat the Lvbu's Army.
"Test, test!" Huang She muttered to himself. "I got it! You can test it, I can test it too! "
"You, take two thousand soldiers out of the city and fight!" Huang She pointed at one of the generals.
"Ah ah!" The general who was pointed at was shocked. Two thousand soldiers out of the city to fight? Although the enemy didn't send out a large number of cavalry due to the problem with the foundation, there were still more than ten thousand people. Two thousand soldiers out to fight? Wasn't that courting death?
"Shoot, Prince She! Me, me! "The general broke out in cold sweat.
"What are you afraid of? You have the entire Huangzhou City behind you. I'm only asking you to test the waters. Furthermore, there are five thousand navy soldiers to support you! " There was a tributary near Huangzhou City, so the five thousand navy soldiers were able to station there. The arrows shot from the ships posed a great threat to the Lvbu's Army.
Seeing that the general didn't move, Huang She was angry. "What? Are you going to disobey? Do you know the consequences of disobeying? " "Yes, sir!"
The general gritted his teeth. If he went, he might die. If he didn't go, he would definitely die! It was better to die later than earlier. He tidied up his makeup. "Everyone, I'm going. If I don't come back, please take care of my family!"
The other generals looked at him sympathetically and nodded.
"Thank you very much!" As he spoke, he went down the city tower, gathered the soldiers and opened the city gates.
