Chapter 43 Hearts and minds

I'm A Dou

I always thought that the bravery of the general was far less important than strategy. This time I realized that a real general, his every move, and every move, could really make the three armies vulnerable. I remembered the second uncle who returned to Shangyong Road from Maicheng, the tireless, unaware of hard work, attacked like lightning, and moving like strong winds and waves. On that extremely dangerous road, it was him, not me who punished and saved the entire team.

Compared to them, I am nothing in leading the way.

It is not a blessing for the older generation of generals to make the entire era turbulent. Maybe they can't see anything in normal times, but on the battlefield, they are the real overlords.

I couldn't help but feel ashamed of my attitude towards Huang Zhong. I always felt that he was old and should be protected. I just wanted to use his flag to scare the enemy. I must not let him go out for fear of hurting him. But in fact, I didn't protect him at all, but he was always protecting me.

Just as I was thinking, several guards around me suddenly shouted, "Ah!" They all fell to the ground. It turned out that Huang Zhong's sword was mainly protecting me, but the man shot too much arrows, and the guards around me were still injured. But with their abilities, even if the arrows were in the chest, they would die upright. How could they fall down easily? When I looked closely, I saw that everyone was just scratched by the arrows, but the wound was covered with black blood. The arrows on the head of the city were poisonous!

I quickly said, "Cut open the wound, suck out poisonous blood, carry it down for treatment."

The enemy actually used poison when he dealt with me, which shows how cruel he was. I wonder if these guards could be saved. This time, I specially brought many doctors. Mr. Zhang Ji practiced medicine in Jingzhou and Hanzhong, opened a clinic, and trained many talents. Some of my senior brothers are now teaching apprentices. This time, they were with the army, but for the treatment of poison, Zhang Ji's disciples were far away from Hua Tuo, who was not as famous as him. However, since Hua Tuo's death, his disciples disappeared and could not be found. I don't know if the so-called Hua Tuo disciple, Medical Official, could cure poison?

Seeing that the guards were carried away, I asked Huang Zhong: "What should we do next?"

Huang Zhong said: "These people are tricked and conspired, wanting to trick the young master out of the city. The matter is exposed, and they even kill to harm the young master. This shows that the situation on the battlefield has not changed, and the enemy's target is still the young master. What's more, with the elite of our army, the enemy cannot surround them even if they mobilize more military forces. The only change that can be worried about is Wei Yan's rebellion."

"Wei Yanwan will not rebel, and he has no reason to rebel." After thinking about it, I confirmed this.

"Since the young master thinks so, what else are we worried about? Now we are just keeping the changes in the same way, and leave everything to Wei, Guan and Jiang. Everything goes according to the original plan. We just need to wait quietly! Let's see who can hurt the young master in front of my old Huang Zhong!"

Looking at the majestic appearance of Old Huang Zhong, I felt at ease.

It seems that the sudden change just now really scared me. I am indeed very tender.

Under the guidance and influence of experts such as Cui Zhouping, Shui Jing, Kong Ming, etc., I may have made some progress in my thinking, but in front of the two armies, I adapted to changes, calmly and responded freely. I was far from comparable to Huang Zhong, a veteran who had been washed out in blood for the rest of my life.

Only a day ago, I was in charge of the central army, proud and ambitious, thinking that I was born to be a general, but when I really got on the battlefield, I realized that I was just a recruit. Even without the secret help of Zhuge Qiao and others, my performance was not even as good as a recruit.

However, I told myself that I can learn, as long as I don’t believe in faith, one day, I can do what others do!

The man who was cheated and killed by Huang Zhong's right chest, and he was already dead. Most of the people who were cheated and soldiered by him were Cao Wei's elite soldiers, but there were indeed some soldiers from Yizhou who used to confuse us. After careful investigation, all of them lost their combat effectiveness, were filled with mute medicine, and were in a semi-coma. The purpose of bringing us here was to make us believe them. After finally saving one, he asked, but when he was captured while conquering the Andingzhi District, Linjing. I felt more at ease, and I was convinced that all Wei Yan's rebellion was Hu Yun.

Thinking of this, I saw Medical Officer Cui, who I sent to treat my father-in-law's legs, come over. The two of them carried a stretcher behind him, and the old man who was injured was on the rack.

I shouted, "Doctor Cui, the battle is imminent. If you don't take good care of this father-in-law, why do you still bring him to the city tower? Are you guilty?"

Before Medical Officer Cui answered, the father-in-law had already stood up on the stretcher, clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, don't blame this gentleman for making mistakes. It's my fault, my fault!" He called me the prince instead. I remember when he first met, he called me Adou very rudely. It seemed that he was not polite at that time, but intentional.

But I was not angry. I stepped forward to support him and said, "Brother-in-law, what are you doing? The soldiers are like a waste. It has been the same since ancient times. It is normal for you to have opinions about us soldiers, so why bother to say anything?"

"The prince, the matter has come to this point, and I can't stop talking about it. I have a love and grace: There is a secret passage in this city, which was washed away by the underground river water thousands of years ago. Later, the river water fell and became a passage, which was directly outside the city. The ancestors used it to prevent Qiang and Hu from escaping the city. At present, the Cao army planned to use this tunnel to enter the city. I was confused for a moment and agreed to them. But I saw that the subordinates of Shi had not violated the city for several days. Today, the people in the city fetched water. I would be careless and could not harm the lives of the army. Therefore, I risked my life to see you. I hope that the prince would kill me to correct the military rules and block the tunnel to ensure safety."

I took a breath of air. I didn't expect that I would do something good by accident and would have such an effect. I didn't expect that there would be such a huge loophole in this city. Seeing that the father-in-law was still giving a bow, I sighed: "My father-in-law, you must not do this. You saved the people in Hecheng and are our great heroes. If you win this battle, you will definitely reward me!"

The father-in-law sighed: "I dare not report later. I have ruined my son before doing this."

I hurriedly said, "Why do you say this?"

The father-in-law said: "The Wei army will let my son be the guide this time. When entering the city, he will also let him go first. When the two armies fight, the bow and arrow are ruthless. Wouldn't it be ruined?"

I waved and said, "Zhao Zheng!"

Zhao Zheng ran over and said, "Here!"

"You follow your father to the cave and wait for the enemy to enter. Don't save his son from coming out. If you can't complete the mission, come and see him!"

"yes!"

"Wait! Go to where our central army is located and transfer the eight formation maps that Mr. Kong Ming sent me to go with you. Never let the enemy attack the city from the tunnel!"

"yes!"

The Eight Formation Map is a team specially trained by Mr. Kong Ming, with a total of sixteen people. They usually protect me on the battlefield. However, since they have to go into battle, they have to wear different armors and hold different weapons according to different locations, different opponents, different armors, and different weapons. Moreover, they are extremely difficult to play a role in too small or too wide places, so I rarely take them with me, but it is undeniable that after their formation is arranged, their combat power is extremely rare.

The father-in-law bowed his hands on the stretcher and thanked me. Zhao Zheng protected him and left. Medical Officer Cui ran to the poisoned guards.

I looked at the father-in-law's back and whispered: "This human heart is too easy to get."

A guard beside him said, "Young Master, I have been in the army for so many years, but I have never heard of any soldiers who carry water for the people. You don't know what we were like when we went to the homes of those people and moved those people. An old lady kowtowed to us on the bed, saying that we were sent by the Emperor of Heaven to save the world."

I smiled and thought to myself that this method must be used frequently in the future.

Turning his head, he saw Huang Hansheng standing next to the person he was shot to death with a narrow face, frowned and silent.

"Elder General, what's wrong?"

Huang Zhong handed a jade ring to my hand: "This was found from this person."

I took the jade ring, which was made of beautiful Lantian jade, and it was warm all over the body and warm tentacles. It was a good treasure. I never cared about the so-called treasures. After taking a look at them, I didn't realize anything special.

Huang Zhong said: "Young master can look at the sunset."

I held the jade ring in my eyes and shone it towards the sunlight. I saw a small word reflected between a faint light and shadow, which was the word "Yan". "It's not bad. I really don't know how to make this word?"

Huang Zhong smiled bitterly and said, "I don't care about how to do it, but I know what the word means."

"What's the point?"

"This word means that he is from the Yan family in Jincheng."

"Yan Family, Jincheng?"

"The Yan family in Jincheng is a family known for their bravery. The contemporary head is named Yan Yan and his courtesy name is Yan Ming."

"Is he very awesome?"

"It's not just amazing, what does the young master think Meng Qi?"

"Ma Mengqi's heroes were heroic and powerful. He fought in the Wei River back then..."

"The young master only talks about Meng Qi's martial arts?"

"It goes without saying that the night battle with my third uncle, Jiameng Pass and Huhou Xu Chu, fight with Weishui River, aren't it fully explained the problem? In the world, maybe he is not the first, but no one can defeat him head-on."

Huang Zhong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Young master, you are wrong. In this world, there is really a person who defeated Ma Chao head-on. Twenty-five years ago, when Han Sui and Ma Teng formed an alliance, they attacked each other in order to compete for the Hehuang land of Liangzhou. At that time, Ma Chao was a young man and was invincible. Han Sui could not resist the enemy, so he sent his son-in-law to take action. As a result, he stabbed Ma Chao with a spear, and the iron spear could not resist his great force. The spearhead was broken, and he hit Ma Chao with a broken spear and almost killed him!"

I imagined the scene at that time and couldn't help but feel cold.

"Is the person you are talking about Yan Yan?"

"Yes, his name back then was Yan Xing."
