Late at night, Jiangxia City.
Huang Zhong was standing on top of the city gate, watching the situation below with his bow.
However, Huang Zhong was tired and his eyelids were drooping.
After all, Huang Zhong was a human and needed rest.
Huang Zhong had not rested for three days and three nights since Zhuge Liang sent his troops to tighten the defense.
Just as Huang Zhong was about to doze off, the sound of horses galloping below the city gate woke him up.
"Who is it?!"
Huang Zhong quickly nocked his longbow and yelled at the people who came down from the city.
"Open the gate! Open the gate!"
Li Cunxiao covered his head with a linen cloth. His face was covered in blood as he shouted at the top of the city gate.
Huang Zhong took a closer look. This person was unfamiliar and did not look like a member of the Cao Army.
Although it was late at night, Huang Zhong's eyesight was far better than others due to his years of archery practice.
Looking at the armor, he looked like a member of the Shu Army.
Huang Zhong's mind was filled with questions.
Currently, only Guan Yu's Army had sent out troops from the Shu Army. They should have taken Fan City by now. Why would there be a defeated Shu Army?
Was this a trap?
Thinking of this, Huang Zhong's vigilance was extremely high. He shouted in a low voice.
"Who are you?"
Li Cunxiao shouted:
"We are General Guan's subordinates. Fan City was ambushed and we managed to break out before reinforcements arrived!"
"Open the gate! General Guan is seriously injured and needs immediate medical attention! "
Huang Zhong frowned when he heard that.
Fan City had just been taken. How could it be lost so quickly?!
If the Cao army were to attack Fan City, it would take at least a few days. It had only been a day, and they hadn't even received any news, yet they had already failed?
"Why haven't I seen you before? Where is General Guan? "
Huang Zhong asked tentatively.
Li Cunxiao pointed at the horse behind him and continued to shout, "That's right.
"General Guan is seriously injured and unconscious!"
Huang Zhong looked in the direction of the voice.
There was a person lying on the back of the horse. Beside him was a broadsword. The armor he wore was similar to Guan Yu's.
However, the sky was too dark, so Huang Zhong wasn't sure.
Moreover, Huang Zhong had never seen Guan Yu before and had never fought with him. It was difficult to determine whether the broadsword was the Green Dragon Crescent Blade or not.
After all, the Azure Dragon Saber was an extremely standard weapon.
Huang Zhong hesitated.
Looking at the young general's anxious expression, it didn't seem like he was faking it.
However, now that there was a group of defeated Shu Army soldiers, it was hard for Huang Zhong to believe it.
"Oh, you old fool! Are you Huang Zhong? "
Li Cunxiao raised his hand and pointed at Huang Zhong when he didn't reply for a long time.
Huang Zhong hesitated for a moment.
"I am Huang Zhong, Huang Hansheng!"
"Bah!"
Li Cunxiao spat on the ground and roared:
"It really is you, you old bastard!"
"The old man who forced General Zhao to leave, do you still want to kill General Guan?"
"If you still don't believe me, if anything happens to General Guan, the Lord will hold you responsible!"
Hearing this, Huang Zhong was stunned.
Zhao Yun!
Zhao Yun's shoulder injury was not cured, resulting in his entire right arm being crippled. Huang Zhong had a very deep impression of this matter.
Logically speaking, Zhao Yun left because he was bitterly disappointed in the army camp. In addition, he thought that he couldn't fight without an arm, so he left Liu Bei.
However, this matter more or less had something to do with Huang Zhong.
After all, it was Huang Zhong's arrow that indirectly caused Zhao Yun's old injury to flare up, resulting in Zhao Yun's arm being crippled.
As a surrendered general who had just joined the Shu Army camp, Huang Zhong didn't dare to do anything.
In addition, Zhao Yun's departure made Huang Zhong even more fearful, as if he was treading on thin ice.
Liu Bei didn't say anything, and even put Huang Zhong in an important position to guard Jiangxia City.
However, Zhao Yun was after all Liu Bei's personal general, and a general who was deeply trusted by Liu Bei. Huang Zhong didn't believe that Liu Bei wouldn't care about this matter.
This matter became Huang Zhong's lifelong regret.
Li Cunxiao had previously learned some information about the Shu Army from Bai Feng's battle report. Naturally, he thought of this method to deal with Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong was cautious by nature, and it was very difficult to trick him into opening the city gate.
Although Li Cunxiao knew that his strength was higher than Huang Zhong's, Li Cunxiao was still very careful when it came to archery.
In addition, Bai Feng had instructed him to trick open the city gate, and not to take the initiative to fight with Huang Zhong.
Only then did Li Cunxiao think of this method.
As for the unconscious person on the horse, it was Zhang He.
As Zhang He was tall, and his body was similar to Guan Yu's, he was the best choice to pretend to be Guan Yu.
However, Guan Yu could only act like him, but not his expression. As such, he could only pretend to be unconscious.
At this moment, Zhang He didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
At this moment, Huang Zhong was suspicious. If he noticed something, then the failure of this battle would be his fault.
Luckily, Zhang He had great endurance, and he didn't move for a long time.
Huang Zhong gritted his teeth, but he still didn't dare to open the city gate.
Li Cunxiao laughed coldly.
"Huang Hansheng! You old man, do you want to torture all the generals of Shu Han to death so that you can be a general? "
"You are so evil!"
"To think that General Zhao tried to persuade my lord that this matter had nothing to do with you. He said that you were someone who could be put in an important position."
"It seems like General Zhao was wrong. My lord was wrong!"
These words were the final straw that broke Huang Zhong's back.
Before Zhao Yun left, not only did he not blame him, he even said that he was someone who could be put in an important position.
Thinking back to how he treated Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong felt ashamed.
What a person who repaid evil with good!
Why is it that when I, Huang Han, was promoted, you, Zilong, left?
Thinking of this, Huang Zhong's mouth twitched.
Zhang He saw that Li Cunxiao's voice was loud, but Huang Zhong didn't dare to reply.
It seems like it's about to succeed!
Li Cunxiao laughed coldly in his heart. He turned to Guan Yu and purposely raised his voice.
"General Guan! Do you see? This is Huang Hansheng! "
"When we were isolated and helpless, not only did he not send reinforcements, he even closed the city gates. Poor General Guan, who has been loyal and courageous all his life, was treated like this."
At this point, Li Cunxiao turned to the soldiers behind him.
"Brothers, let's go to Jiangling City!"
"General Guan is blessed by the heavens. He will definitely get through this!"
"If anything happens to General Guan, we will tell my lord that it was Huang Hansheng who did it!"
Hearing this, Huang Zhong couldn't help but take a few steps back. His body was trembling.
Good heavens, this is putting the blame on me!
If Guan Yu really died, I can forget about staying in the Shu Army.
"Wait!"
Huang Zhong gritted his teeth, put down the bow in his hand and shouted.
"Open the city gates and welcome General Guan!"
