A Journey to the Game World

Chapter 42 The Tangled Huang Zhong

"This should also be counted as a trophy, right? Heh... I hope I can give it back to him again!"

Guan Yu looked at the long blade carving, then pinned it on the saddle, and then got on the horse and left.

The turbulent forest returned to calm again, except for some blood stains on the fallen leaves, there was nothing unusual about it.

……

The next day, Du Huo ordered the four armies to attack Changsha City together, intending to make a final general attack.

And ever since Huang Zhong returned to the city with injuries that day, he has never been seen to show his face again.

It was not until this time that the army attacked the city that he occasionally appeared on the battlefield.

Changsha City can be called a fortified city.The surrounding area is relatively open, but each city gate is guarded by strong soldiers.

And besides that, there are several generals in the city who can be used by Zheng Xuan.

Among them, in addition to the veteran Huang Zhong, there is also the general Wei Yanyong who won the three armies.

In addition, Han Hao, Yang Ling and others are definitely not idle people, and with the cooperation of these four generals, Du Huo's army is destined to suffer a battle that was rarely seen before.

The battle lasted for three days and two nights. The nearly 20 defenders in Changsha City mixed with Du Huo's [-] troops, fighting fiercely.

It was not until the evening of the third day that the battle gradually came to an end.

Although it was inevitable that Changsha City would be breached, Du Huo never imagined that he would spend so much money and food here.

After entering the city, although Huang Zhong was arrested, he refused to surrender. Compared with the actions of the enemy general Wei Yan, Du Huo was much more pleased.

On the day the army entered the city, Wei Yan wanted to defect and surrender, and he had already had this idea before Du Huo persuaded him to surrender.

And since Wei Yan voluntarily surrendered, how could Du Huo have no reason not to accept it.So with Du Huo's permission, the enemy general Wei Yan became Du Huo's general as a matter of course.

In fact, if judged by force value, Wei Yan's force value is even slightly higher than Huang Zhong's.Because his force value is 240, but Huang Zhong is only 220.

And in this world, the weapon Wei Yan uses is a double axe, and his weapon can be regarded as a relatively rare type of weapon.Therefore, Wei Yan's surrender was not a small gain for Du Huo.

In addition, the relationship between Wei Yan and Huang Zhong was relatively good in private. If Wei Yan was asked to come forward to persuade Huang Zhong to surrender, maybe Huang Zhong would change his mind.

On the third day after the army entered the city, Wei Yan rushed to the palace to meet Du Huo early in the morning, saying that he had something important to report.

After the soldiers let Wei Yan into the palace, Du Huo rubbed his eyes and walked out of the bedroom. The war general Hugh Du Huo couldn't help but relax a little, so he got up late in the morning.

"Wei Yan, I heard you have something to ask me?" Du Huo walked up the steps step by step, walked up to Wei Yan, and asked him.

"My lord, veteran Huang Zhong wants to see you!" Wei Yan bowed and saluted.

"Why did he suddenly want to see me? When I went to see him a few days ago, he threatened to kill me. Could it be that his knife has been sharpened and he wants me to come and die?" Du Huo seemed asked with a smile.

"My lord, calm down, a few days ago you led an army to attack Changsha City, the old general Han Sheng was heartbroken, so you said some inappropriate words.

Recently, after being persuaded by the last general, he has realized his mistake, but he is afraid of being punished by the lord, so he dare not come to meet the lord!That's why I ordered the last general to invite the lord to go to the mansion, and the old general is willing to apologize to the lord in person! "Wei Yan explained.

"The old general blamed me for being angry with the old master, which is understandable! If the old general is sincerely willing to submit to me, then I can forget about the past!"

When Du Huo was kind, he did not forget to establish his majesty. Although all this was only for Wei Yan to see, it could also indirectly affect Huang Zhong.

"My lord, you are a benevolent and righteous king. It is expected that you will not embarrass the old general Han Sheng. If the lord is willing to go to meet him today, the general will do his best to persuade the old general Han Sheng to surrender to the lord!"

Although Wei Yan's promise came out of nowhere, it also seemed to be a promise.

"Okay, since that's the case, then I'll go with you and lead the way!"

Du Huo agreed to Wei Yan's request, and then under Wei Yan's leadership, he came to Huang Zhong's residence.

"General Han Sheng, Uncle Liu Huang has arrived!"

Wei Yan invited Du Huo to take a seat in the tea hall, while he himself turned to the bedroom to inform Huang Zhong.

Not long after, Wei Yan and Huang Zhong walked out of the bedroom together.

After not seeing each other for a few days, Huang Zhong couldn't help but look a little haggard.

According to Wei Yan, since Changsha City was breached, Huang Zhong sat alone in his room without eating or drinking all day long, and it has been a full three days at this moment.

"Old General, why are you so haggard?" Seeing this, Du Huo got up and asked Huang Zhong.

"The old man is already old, and his expression is certainly not the same as before!"

Although Huang Zhong's complexion was not good, his voice was still as loud as a bell.

"The old general was famous all his life in the army! Everyone knows that the general is old and strong, why do you think he is old today?" Du Huo asked.

"I don't know the emperor. Although the old man has been a soldier all his life, he has not found his master. Half his life has been wasted so far, but he is already in his twilight years. The old man wanted to spend the rest of his life in Changsha City, but unexpectedly the noble army broke into the city. Make life difficult for the people of Changsha!"

"General Han Sheng, don't be rude!" Hearing Huang Zhong's rude words, Wei Yan on the side hurriedly spoke to dissuade him.

"It's okay, it's okay... The old general has a straightforward temperament, and what he said is not false, it's just that the people are struggling, and it's a little absurd!"

Du Huo smiled and waved his hands, he didn't take what Huang Zhong said to heart, but in his words, he also pointed out Huang Zhong's inappropriateness.

"The emperor's benevolence and righteousness, I have heard about it for a long time! Seeing you today, it is still worthy of the name! It's just that the capture of Changsha has always been a part of my heart! In addition, although Zheng Xuan is not the master, he is also kind to the old man, so The old man really can't persuade himself to surrender to the emperor's uncle, I hope the emperor's uncle can forgive me!"

At this point, Huang Zhong's mood gradually became a little depressed, perhaps because of the mention of the old master.

"General Han Sheng, then Zheng Xuan was originally named Yongzhu. He just thought that the general could protect the city for him, so he reused the general. Didn't the general tell me often before that following Zheng Xuan can only be reluctant at best? To survive, if you want to make meritorious deeds, you have to seek the Ming Lord! And now, the Ming Lord is right in front of you, General Han Sheng, why are you still hesitating?" Wei Yan asked.

"Old man, although I would like to seek the enlightened master to make meritorious deeds, but I can't break my promise and betray the master for glory!"

"The old general's words are really a little confused. Although Zheng Xuan and others are the general's old masters, they have done a lot of harm to the general. In addition, Zheng Xuan is dead at this time. How can the general come to seek glory?" Du Huo asked with a smile.
