Chapter 42: Veteran General

In the pre-Qin period, eating was two meals a day, one meal in the morning was called "big food" and one meal in the evening was called "snack food". By the Three Kingdoms period, agriculture had a great development. In addition to a few people who also implemented the two-meal system, they all had three meals a day, but the time of eating was different from later generations. The first meal was morning meal, that is, early meal. Generally, after dawn was dawn; the second meal was day meal, which was alternating between morning and afternoon; the third meal was bait, which was at Shen time (3-5 pm).

The next day, the food was just over, and dust smog surged from the distance.

"Here you come!"

The whistle sounded on the city tower, and everyone entered the battle position. The sun turned west, and the bright white eyes were shining, so I looked west with some difficulty. I covered my hand on my forehead and looked at it with my eyes, and suddenly a soldier shouted: "Young master, that's our people."

Sure enough, those people were holding the Chinese-character flag, but the flag was broken and turned weakly in the setting wind. The soldiers were not dressed, their hair was messy, some were covered with cloth strips, some had few arms, and only half of their remaining limbs were left, and blood was dripping all the way. The leading general even lost his helmets and armor, and he was wearing only a blood-stained gray robe. He was walking on the horse, and a man was hunched on his back. As the horse moved, the man's drooping hands and feet were swinging weakly, and he didn't know whether it was death or alive.

Defeated army! Which team was defeated? I was in a mess. Is it Wei Yan, Guan Ping, or Jiang Wei?

Did the enemy not come to attack me, but took advantage of our army's slow speed and chose an assault? This would lead to a great defeat in our army?

The confused thoughts flashed between the mind, the heart was pounding, and the sunset became even more dazzling.

"Open the door! Take it." I said.

Huang Zhong stopped me: "Young Master, when fighting, the city gate should not be opened lightly. Please ask clearly before you talk."

I woke up and nodded, "If I care, I will be confused and reckless." So I stood on the city tower with Huang Zhong to greet me.

This small town is located on a high slope. Although it is close to the black water, it does not have a moat, so the team of people came directly to the city gate.

What kind of defeated soldiers are they? They are confused and slow in their movements. Most of them lose their weapons. Even if they use weapons as crutches, they will be used as crutches. When they arrive in front of the city, many people fall to the ground and can never get up. The wounded soldier on his horse's back shook his body and could see clearly in the sun. He had fish and birds tattooed on his face - it is the symbol of Yizhou. Only Yizhou people in the world have such decorations, and this kind of thing that has been written since childhood is absolutely impossible to fake.

The guards beside him shouted loudly: "The prince is here, which team is ahead? What is the military situation? The leader came forward and replied!"

The general who led the horse hurried forward, leaned forward on the ground, raised his head and said tremblingly: "The third song of Wei Yan, the fifth treasure general, Ma Xiao, met the young master! Wei Yan rebelled, and all the front troops were lost! He has already joined the Wei army."

This sentence is like the earth breaks and the sky collapses, and Wei Yan rebells? How is it possible?

I hurriedly looked at Huang Zhong. Huang Zhong and Wei Yan returned to Han at the same time that day. He knew Kong Ming's words that "Wei Yan's brain is rebellious and he will rebel in a long time" were known. Could it be today? No, no, for me who once knew history, this statement was 99% unbelievable, but what if, history has changed after all.

I shouted to the city: "Then how did you escape? Have you ever seen the two generals Jiang Guan who went to greet him?"

Ma Xiao said, "Young Master, when my subordinates learned of Wei Yan's conspiracy, they thought they were deeply favored by the prince. They were from Shu and did not want to surrender to Wei, so they gathered their troops and killed them. Unexpectedly, Wei Yan and Su Ze and others set up a trap to lead General Jiang Wei and others into the siege. When I saw General Jiang, General Jiang and others had already entered the siege. General Jiang said to the young general: "The matter of stability cannot be done. If the young master can help, he will lead the army to rescue him. If he cannot, please return to Chang'an quickly and ask the military advisor to lead the army to rescue him." After fighting for the death, he died and broke back. I hope that the young master would think of the people of Yizhou, and his heart would be for the young master and the king. I would also lead the army to save me. It is equivalent to water and fire!"

I was in a state of confusion, and the person in front of me was sincere and thoughtful, not as if it were false. Besides, the soldier immediately thought he was a man from Yizhou. Is his words true? Is he false? Should I save? Or not? Is this battle really defeated me?

Huang Zhong shouted, "I'll ask you, since you are the fifth general of the troop station, Ma Xiao and the sixth general of the troop station, where is my nephew Huang Ying now?"

Ma Xiao said: "The old general Rong, General Huang and the young general are in the third song, and they have a close relationship. When they broke into the siege, it was him who led the army to cut off the back, which made me escape. But when he faced that guy Wei Yan, he was afraid that he would be unlucky."

I heard him respond calmly, and my heart was confused. I only looked at Huang Zhong, for fear that he would believe it, and he would not be able to withstand such a blow when he was old and bloody. However, the more Huang Zhong listened, his face calmed down and cursed: "What a traitor! I can tell you that Huang Zhong has no nephew in the vanguard camp at all, but he was just testing you. At a young age, he dared to come to deceive the city and especially regarded the hero Jing Yi as a young hero!"

Old Huang Zhong actually used a trick, and I couldn't help but shout in my heart. Why didn't I think of this trick?

When the man heard this, he stood up and there was no sign of fatigue. He moved like lightning, his long sleeves raised together, and there was a powerful crossbow hidden in his sleeves, shooting towards the city like lightning.

I was on the city tower, less than ten feet away from him. This person was talking to me. He was wearing no armor and unarmed, and he was showing his head to the ears. He only said that after Huang Zhong exposed him, he could only wait for death. He did not expect that he would suddenly attack me in public, and even used such a powerful crossbow, mixed in the dazzling sunset light, and how could he dodge it?

Could it be that I died here?

This is my only thought at this moment. My muscles are tense and I stay in place and can't move.

At this moment, I felt a stream of blood slipping through my eyes, and then a bloody moon rose from the top of the building. The moonlight was clear and cold, flowing everywhere, penetrated the skin and soaked the bone marrow, and it actually suppressed the sun in the West, and finally condensed into a knife. It was Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng's precious sword "Red Blood"!

This knife once cut off Xiahou Yuan's head. This knife killed more than 200 people in the battle of Yangping without rolling the sharp blade!

It was Huang Zhong who used the knife to save me!

Under his sword light, the arrows were shattered and rolled down to the top of the city wall.

My heart then returned to beating. Looking at myself, there was no scar on my body. I breathed a sigh of relief. I felt my legs tremble and almost fell to the ground!

If you are really scared, this person will be greatly lost.

Before leaving, I told Jiang Wei that the enemy was coming for me, so I would like to meet his challenge. But I knew that this challenge was so dangerous and so close to death!

The man under the city saw that the crossbow arrow did not shoot me and laughed: "Huang Hansheng's sword is not old, the young general admires it!"

Huang Zhong waved his sword and shouted, "Shoot the arrow."

Arrows were fired on the top of the city, and the man laughed a long time, and his body flew up like a bird, reaching several feet away. I was frightened by him and was shocked. I almost thought he was going to jump onto the top of the city, but I saw his body heading far away. When the arrow rain arrived, he suddenly twisted like a snake a few times, and all the arrows fell into nothing.

The man smiled and said, "I didn't expect this trick to hide it from the disciple of Kong Ming's disciple Liu Adu, but it was discovered by the rude and unwilling Huang Hansheng. What a pity." As he said, his body rushed forward, and his speed seemed to be no less than that of a galloping horse. At this point, ordinary arrows could no longer reach him, and even if the strong crossbow could be reached, it would be difficult to accurately land on him in the middle of running.

This man ran so quickly, and while he was running, he dared to provoke my relationship with Huang Zhong, implying that I was not as good as Huang Zhong, which made me suspicious, and was really a strong enemy. I glanced at Huang Zhong, who was as heavy as water, and shouted loudly: "Change a cavalry team, and you can't let him escape."

Before he finished speaking, he felt that the air in his ears seemed to be drained, and his mind was dizzy. The man in the distance was in mid-air, and suddenly shook, turned his head in disbelief, and fell to the ground.

The sound of the buzzing bowstrings in my ears was then trembling. I looked at Huang Zhong in disbelief. Although I had known that Huang Hansheng had a magical arrow that could penetrate Yang a hundred steps, his arrow was too amazing. His speed was so fast and his shooting was accurate. He completely ignored space and time. When the arrow came out, people fell. It was faster than lightning and faster than thunder. Even Houyi, who shot the sun, was just like this.

Huang Zhong slowly put down the treasure bow in his hand and said lightly: "Go and take him back."
