The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Liu Zheng muttered what Qin Jie said just now, and immediately fell into deep thought.

Perhaps Qin Jie's words were the key to breaking through Huang Zhong and recruiting him.

Chapter 46 The Case of Huang Zhong

"Who betrayed you is not the key, but I'm curious. What happened to what you said just now, Huang Zhong's son?"

Liu Zheng didn't pay much attention to Qin Jie. The reason why he chose to capture Qin Jie alive was actually because he didn't have much aversion to the officers and soldiers.

Another thing is that he doesn't want to kill too many people. Although it is impossible to kill people in war, it is better to kill as few people as possible if there are fewer deaths.

Liu Zheng thought that Qin Jie would tell him what happened to Huang Zhong's son, but unfortunately, Qin Jie is a man of integrity after all. After Liu Zheng asked, he snorted coldly and turned his head away from answering Liu Zheng's questions.

Seeing this guy's reckless attitude, Liu Zheng simply stopped thinking about asking Huang Zhong about things in front of him.

Order Zhou Cang to imprison this guy.So he found Huang Zhong by himself, intending to ask some questions from Huang Zhong.

After capturing Caiyang City, Zhou Cang imprisoned Huang Zhong, Cai Mao and others in a part of the barracks.When Liu Zheng came here, Huang Zhong was still tied up.

Although Liu Zheng had instructed Zhou Cang not to make things difficult for Huang Zhong, Zhou Cang considered Huang Zhong to be a strong martial artist, and even Xu Huang was no match for him.If you don't tie it up, it's too much of a threat.

So I decided to make the decision without authorization, bound Huang Zhong's hands and tied them to a giant tree, so as to prevent Huang Zhong from escaping.

"Brother Huang Zhong, my subordinates understand etiquette, I hope you will forgive me."

Seeing that Huang Zhong was tied up, although Liu Zheng complained about Zhou Cang, he didn't mean to blame Zhou Cang. After all, Zhou Cang did this for their own good.

Huang Zhong had no objection to this kind of treatment, anyway, he was a prisoner, and the other Yellow Turban soldiers treated the prisoners extremely cruelly.

There are really not many people who can entertain them as well as Liu Zheng.

Huang Zhong was able to live and was treated with courtesy by Liu Zheng's men. He also felt that he was lucky, and his attitude towards Liu Zheng was somewhat better.

"Your Excellency, you are polite to my fellow prisoners. It is very different from the other Yellow Turban soldiers in the rumors. I think you are not an ordinary bandit. You also know the art of war and are good at fighting. Why don't you join the bandits? Why don't you serve the court?" , Guangzong Yaozu?"

At this time, Huang Zhong hadn't forgotten to persuade Liu Zheng to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, and take refuge in the court.

However, there is no way around this. After all, if Huang Zhong wants to survive at this time, there is only one way. When Liu Zheng has figured it out and goes to the court, he will be able to live under Liu Zheng's hands.

But Liu Zheng just smiled slightly after listening to Huang Zhong's words, and didn't think too much about Huang Zhong's words.

But since Huang Zhong had spoken, Liu Zheng always wanted to follow Huang Zhong's words.

"Brother Huang Zhong has a heart. If I told you that I really had the idea of ​​joining the army at the beginning, fighting the enemy bravely, and serving the country, would you believe me?"

Liu Zheng answered Huang Zhong casually, he didn't lie, from the time he first traveled to the end of the Han Dynasty, his first thought was that he really wanted to join the army.

If it wasn't for those officers and soldiers who almost killed him and forced him to join the Yellow Turban Army, maybe Liu Zheng is now in the official army camp and got a half-job.

It's a pity that good luck tricks people, and sometimes things are a little different from what you imagined.

Huang Zhong was taken aback by Liu Zheng's words. In fact, Huang Zhong was just talking casually, wanting Liu Zheng to abandon the dark side and join the army, but he didn't expect Liu Zheng to answer him like this.

"Do you really want to join the army?"

Huang Zhong was stunned for a moment, still a little puzzled.

Liu Zheng nodded, but continued immediately.

"However, that was all in the past. Now, I have been mixed up in the Yellow Turban Army to this point. I have killed many officers and soldiers. It is just a delusion to talk about joining the officers and soldiers."

The expression on Huang Zhong's face became better, but he didn't give up, and continued to speak to Liu Zheng.

"Actually, it's not too late now. If you want to, I can introduce you. Whether it's the prefect of Qin Jie or Zhu Junzhong, I know them all. If you rely on them and make atonement, it's better than being a villain." thief."

But Liu Zheng just shook his head. Based on his understanding of Zhu Jun, surrender is of course possible. However, if you surrender to the army in the first step, you will be killed by the army in the next second, and then build the capital. View, to show Zhu Jun's contribution to countering the rebellion.

Officials and soldiers, after all, are all the same.

Nobody takes a traitor seriously.In their eyes, rebels are just something they get rewarded for doing meritorious deeds.

"Let's not talk about this. It's useless to talk about these things now. Why don't we talk about your son."

Liu Zheng didn't want to continue talking to Huang Zhong about taking refuge in the court, and he didn't come here to talk to Huang Zhong about it, so at this time, he brought the topic to Huang Zhong's son.

As soon as he mentioned his son, the expression on Huang Zhong's face immediately became tense, as if he had been caught by someone because of his weakness.

Immediately looked at Liu Zheng nervously, and immediately questioned Liu Zheng.

"What happened to my son, what did you do to him!"

Huang Zhong thought that Liu Zheng had caught his son, and immediately panicked.

"Brother Huang Zhong, don't panic, I didn't catch your son, I just heard something about your son from Qin Jie, but I don't know much, so I want to ask you, your son Did something happen, why did Qin Jie save him?"

Liu Zheng's explanation made Huang Zhong calm down a little. Hearing Liu Zheng's words, Huang Zhong was silent for a moment, but finally spoke to Liu Zheng.

"It's not a crime, it's a disease."

"Sick?"

Liu Zheng was taken aback.

Liu Zheng doesn't know much about Huang Zhong in history, but it seems that he had a son named Huang Xu who passed away in his early years, so although Huang Zhong became famous later, he did not leave a single descendant.

It seems that at this time, Huang Zhong's son must have suffered from a serious illness and died early.

"What kind of disease is it? If you don't mind, you can tell me."

Although Liu Zheng doesn't know much about medical skills, he is still a modern person. He knows some diseases that existed in ancient times but could not be cured. After listening to it, maybe Liu Zheng can find a way.

And Huang Zhong seems to be a dead horse as a living horse doctor. At this time, when communicating with Liu Zheng, he felt that Liu Zheng was not bad, so he simply said it to Liu Zheng.

"Actually, I don't know what kind of disease he has, but he has been weak. I have found many doctors to see him, but it is useless. The prefect Qin Jie said that he knows a famous doctor in Nanyang. If Nanyang is captured, he will take him with him." I'm going to find him."

Chapter 47 Solicitation

"Nanyang? A famous doctor?"

When Liu Zheng heard this, he immediately thought of Zhang Zhongjing.

Zhang Zhongjing is from Nanyang, if there is a famous doctor, he must be Zhang Zhongjing.

"Is the doctor you're talking about called Zhang Ji?"

Liu Zheng asked Huang Zhong back.

Huang Zhong was slightly surprised, showing a look of horror, and then nodded.

"Well, the famous doctor mentioned by the prefect Qin Jie is Zhang Ji. I heard that he is, but I went to Nanyang to see him a few times, but he was not there. The prefect Qin Jie has an old relationship with the Zhang family in Nanyang. I was introduced by Qin Jie. I can find Dr. Zhang Ji to treat my son."

"So that's why you joined Qin Jie to fight against the Yellow Turban Army for him?"

After hearing Huang Zhong's explanation, Liu Zheng seemed to be able to guess the ins and outs.

"Well, the prefect of Qin Jie said that doctor Zhang Ji is in Nanyang, and now Nanyang is under the rule of the Yellow Turban Army. If you want to treat my son, you must take Nanyang back first, so I will follow the prefect of Qin Jie to attack Nanyang. the Yellow Turban Army."

Hearing Huang Zhong's affirmation, Liu Zheng laughed immediately.

"Then your wishful thinking may be in vain."

"what?"

"In order to avoid disaster, Zhang Ji left Nanyang County when the Yellow Turban Army was raging in Nanyang, so even if you help Qin Jie take down Nanyang, you may not be able to find Zhang Ji."

Huang Zhong could not be found, after all, Zhang Ji was in Runan City at this time.

When Liu Zheng left Runan City, Zhang Ji and Zhang Muyu were at the place where the common people lived in the city. Liu Zheng himself was not sure about the exact whereabouts.

After all, several days have passed now, even Liu Zheng can't be sure that Zhang Ji is still in Runan City, maybe because of the war, he left Runan long ago and went to other places.

After Huang Zhong heard Liu Zheng's words, the expression on his face obviously darkened immediately.

"So, everything I have done is in vain, and there is still no way to cure my son's illness?"

Liu Zheng couldn't understand Huang Zhong's feelings at this time. After all, he hadn't become a father yet, so he couldn't understand how heartbreaking it was for a father to feel sorry for his son.

But Liu Zheng can know that Huang Zhong must be very disappointed in his heart, just like the powerlessness and despair when you look forward with hope, but the last hope is shattered.

Liu Zheng hesitated for a moment, but changed his mouth and said

"If you trust me, I know Zhang Ji's whereabouts. I can tell you his address, or I can take you to him. However, I'm not sure whether I can find him. After all, I told him before I don't know if he's still there, whether it was a few days ago."

Liu Zheng's words rekindled a glimmer of hope in the already lost Huang Zhong, and immediately looked at Liu Zheng with wide eyes, and asked Liu Zheng excitedly.

"Where is he? Can you take me to him? If you can find him and cure my son, I will do whatever you ask me to do!"

Huang Zhong's words reached Liu Zheng's ears, and Liu Zheng's eyes immediately brightened. Although he had this idea at the beginning, when he heard Huang Zhong say this, he naturally felt relieved, and immediately turned to Huang Zhong. Respond with one sentence.

"Okay, Brother Huang Zhong, I feel relieved with your words. I will take you to Zhang Ji after I finish solving the Nanyang matter. I still have to wrong Brother Huang Zhong for a few days. By the way, your son Where is it? I'll send someone to pick him up first."

"My son is now in Caiyang City. Before that, he has been following me, by the side of Governor Qin Jie, just to find Zhang Ji to see a doctor for him as soon as possible. It's just that I didn't take him with me when I went out of the city."

Liu Zheng nodded when he heard Huang Zhong's words, and after inquiring about his son's location, he sent someone to bring Huang Zhong's son Huang Xu to Huang Zhong's side to reunite them.

Not long after, Huang Xu was brought to Huang Zhong's side. The first time Liu Zheng saw Huang Xu was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy. He was weak and very thin, and he didn't look like a teenager at all. Three or four years old.

But judging by Huang Zhong's age, he is nearly 40 years old, and he has a teenage son, which is normal. After all, the ancients got married relatively early.

That guy Sun Jian, when he was in his thirties, Sun Ce had been fighting with him for many years.

After inquiring about Huang Zhong, Liu Zheng brought his troops to the county government office in Caiyang City.

At this time, Liu Zheng's counselors and generals were already waiting for him at the county government. As soon as Liu Zheng came over, Xu You immediately stepped forward and congratulated Liu Zheng.

"Congratulations to Shuai Qu, taking down Caiyang City in one fell swoop and destroying Qin Jie's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. This is a great joy. If the news is sent back to Julu City, he will definitely be rewarded by a great virtuous teacher."

Liu Zheng's defeat of Qin Jie was a rare victory since the Yellow Turban Army's uprising.If it is passed on to Zhang Jiao, General Tiangong, it will naturally cheer up the hearts of the Yellow Turban soldiers. At this time, Runan City has just been defeated, and the morale of the Yellow Turban Army is low. They just need a message that can improve morale, so as to relieve the lost strength of the Yellow Turban Army. morale.

"Yes, Commander Liu Zhengqu, this time we crossed Wancheng and killed tens of thousands of Qin Jie's soldiers and horses. This is definitely exciting and good news. Commander Zhao Hongqu and the envoy will definitely reward you heavily."

Sun Zhong also said something after Xu You finished speaking.Feelings for Liu Zheng.It's all expressed in words.

But Liu Zheng disagreed.It is now the middle of June. If he remembers correctly, most of the soldiers and horses of the army have already marched to Jizhou to fight Zhang Jiao. Just during this time.

For the Yellow Turban Army's award, Liu Zheng might not be able to enjoy it.

At this time, he should think about his future.

However, the most urgent task is to deal with Zhu Jun who is near Wancheng first. Zhu Jun is one of the three generals, with [-] troops under his command.

The [-] soldiers and horses can pose a far greater threat than Qin Jie's troops, and Zhu Jun also has Sun Jian and others under his command.It can be said that the army is strong and the horse is strong, and there are ways to deal with Qin Jie's situation, but when dealing with Zhu Jun, this guy is different from Qin Jie.

Liu Zheng is not so sure.This is not something he can easily eliminate, and this matter has to be considered in the long run.

"The credit for catching Qin Jie alive is not mine alone, but the result of everyone's hard work. If General Tiangong gets a reward, I will not take it alone, but share it with everyone. However, the most urgent task is not how to ask for the reward from General Tiangong. Instead, we should think about how to deal with Zhu Jun and his 2 men."

"Zhu Jun, if you judge according to the time, I'm afraid Xinye City has already been captured by this time, and the troops are attacking Wancheng. Although his 2 troops may not be able to capture Wancheng, but if it takes a long time to besiege Wancheng, It will inevitably panic the Yellow Turban Army in Wancheng and cause some unnecessary troubles."

Chapter 48 Dealing with Zhu Jun

Liu Zheng expressed his thoughts.

Everyone was originally a little happy, but they fell silent for a while, and began to think about Zhu Jun's threat.

"We can't stay in Caiyang City for a long time. We have to rush to Wancheng in a short time, join Zhao Hongqu's troops, and work together to defeat Zhu Jun in one fell swoop and stabilize the situation in Nanyang."

Liu Zheng's original plan was not to go back to help Zhao Hong defeat Zhu Jun, but to use Zhao Hong to contain Zhu Jun. The two sides stalemate for a while, giving Liu Zheng a buffer time.

After all, Zhao Hong still has more than 2 soldiers and horses, and a large number of Yellow Turbans are stationed in Wancheng, while Zhu Jun lost Qin Jie's assistance, and now he only has [-] troops under his command.

It is not so easy to defeat Zhao Hong's army. In a short period of time, Zhao Hong will definitely not be able to defeat him. Even if he can enter Wancheng, it will take at least half a month.

And during this period of time, Liu Zheng could recuperate. Although he did not have many direct battles with Qin Jie this time, he lost thousands of soldiers with [-] troops under his command.

Now there are only [-] people left in the headquarters, and [-] Sun Zhong's people.

After a battle with Qin Jie, Liu Zheng captured some of Qin Jie's soldiers and horses alive, a total of 4000 people, but these 4000 people, Liu Zheng has no way to directly become his own soldiers and horses. After all, the camps are different, and many People would not be willing to join Liu Zheng's team.

It can only be exchanged for the equipment of Qin Jie's soldiers and horses, such as leather armor, hard armor, long knives, and steel spears, for his own personnel.

This can be regarded as enhancing the strength of his subordinates in disguise.

But the cavalry that Liu Zheng is most proud of, after a battle with Cai Mao, Liu Zheng still found a weakness. Although these cavalry can barely ride on the horse, they are not grassland people after all, and they cannot use their legs for a long time Balance on the horse.

The power displayed by the cavalry in battle is not strong.

The stirrup made Liu Zheng more and more eager.

But the blacksmith couldn't find it, and how to make stirrups suitable for war horses was also a difficult problem in Liu Zheng's mind. At the same time, because of Huang Zhong's incident, Liu Zheng had to go to Nanyang, and only Nanyang could handle the matter. Only then will he have a chance to return to Runan City.

Find Zhang Ji, see a doctor for Huang Zhong's son Huang Xu, and then recruit Huang Zhong and add another general, Liu Zheng will have the capital to fight for hegemony at this time.
