Yizhou.

Compared with the princes in the world, only Liu Zhang and Jiangdong Sun Ce belong to the younger generation.

On this day, when Liu Zhang received a letter from Liu Biao in Jingzhou, he suddenly showed a hesitant look on his face. He was young at this time and did not have any ambitions in his heart.

Especially Lu Bu in Hanzhong! He was simply the sharp knife above his head, for fear that one day Lu Bu led his troops to attack him in Shuzhong.

"Wu Yi, Wu Ban, Huang Quan, look at the letters for help sent by Liu Biao from Jingzhou."

His father Liu Yan suffered losses when he went to Hanzhong. After he inherited Yizhou, he also wanted to cultivate his own people. Almost all of these three people were his confidants, and they were even more talented people.

The three of them stared at the letters sent by Liu Biao, and were immediately shocked. Then the three of them looked at each other and a secret joy rose in their hearts.

Because they saw Liu Zhang, their lord hesitated. This was a great thing.

You should know that their lord Liu Zhang is good at everything, but this ambition is simply to live on the one-acre and three-point land of his own courtyard. If I don’t mess with you, don’t mess with me.

Last time, when Lu Bu and Yuan Shao started a fierce battle for a year without a chance of winning or losing, someone in Yizhou proposed to send troops to Hanzhong, and taking advantage of the emptiness behind Lu Bu, perhaps making great contributions.

However, Liu Zhang seemed to be scared out of his courage, shook his head repeatedly, and he had never hesitated. You must know that Lu Bu was almost half of him who had fought against his enemy.

As a result, this guy has no courage.

Although they were helpless, they were really helpless. At this point, everyone in Yizhou seemed to be starting to make trouble. There was no way, and the lord was not enterprising.

However, now it is different. Liu Biao asked for help and was even more willing to ced Nanyang County. Liu Zhang hesitated, which means that their lord was moved.

Regardless of their lord's opinion, Liu Bei was both surnamed Liu and was a relative of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, he placed himself at the same height, and thus he no longer had the fear of facing Lu Bu.

"Three, are we going to Jingzhou?"

Liu Zhang hesitated and asked his confidant, while Wu Yi shouted in a deep voice: "Send troops!"

Immediately afterwards, Huang Quan and Wu Ban nodded in response and said, "Lord, this is a good opportunity for God."

Seeing that his three confidants agreed to send troops, Liu Zhang was still a little hesitant, and the three of them suddenly became anxious when they saw it.

"Lord, Yizhou has recovered from energy recovery for so many years, but it is even stronger than before. This is a God-given opportunity."

"Lu Bu is fighting in the Central Plains and has no time to take care of us. We can take the opportunity to expand our territory and send troops to Jingzhou and Liu Biao as aid, so we can form an alliance to fight against Lu Bu in the future."

Huang Quan nodded quickly and bowed, "Lord, it's not bad. How can you have such opportunities in normal times? Liu Biao clearly gave us a chance. Good things that can be seen in the sky are hard to come by."

"Good lord, Liu Biao promised us to be responsible for all the food and grass expenses. However, according to my suggestion, we don't want the last 100,000 lords of grain, and ask Liu Biao for half of the Nanjun."

Seeing that the three of them all agreed to send troops, especially when they heard that Lu Bu was not at home and were busy fighting in the Central Plains, Liu Zhang suddenly showed an excited expression.

Yes, Lu Bu is not at home and is fighting in the Central Plains. This is his great opportunity. He is not going to fight Lu Bu anyway, but just going to Jingzhou. Maybe he can still form an alliance with Liu Biao and Liu Bei, and finally form an alliance between the same clan.

In the future, the three of them dealt with Lu Bu together. When Liu Zhang thought of this, he smiled. In the future, he would be responsible for food, and Liu Biao and Liu Bei were responsible for defending Lu Bu.

"Okay, I just don't know how many troops I sent this time?"

Seeing their lord Liu Zhang slapped his thighs suddenly, nodded and agreed to send troops excitedly, but when he heard how many troops were sent, the three of them looked at each other and hesitated.

In fact, the three of them never had the idea of ​​taking the opportunity to annex Jingzhou. Of course, the more they were better, but they thought of their lord's character.

Finally, Wu Yi sighed, raised his head and said carefully: "Lord, we will send troops to help Jingzhou anyway, and Liu Biao is responsible for the cost of the large army. We can take the opportunity to temper the large army."

After hearing this, Liu Zhang was suddenly stunned. He recalled his weak and unwilling father Liu Yan lying on the sickbed. What he regretted most when he left was that the army in Shu had not experienced much war, otherwise he would have been defeated by Lu Bu.

When Liu Zhang thought of this, he took a deep breath. He was timid, and he didn't want to cause trouble, but it didn't mean he was stupid. He only said in a deep voice: "One hundred thousand is still a lot!"

After hearing this, the three of them looked at each other, and finally Wu Yi said carefully: "Lord, an army of 150,000."

It was almost a test, or to say the price first, they were not allowed to drop the price, and in the end the intention of the three of them was only about 70,000 to 80,000.

As a result, their lord Liu Zhang actually nodded and said solemnly: "Then let's go to the 150,000 army, after all, it's going down the river. This time we don't have to consume food, and we just need to temper our troops in Yizhou."

The three of them were stunned and looked at each other in the end. After finding that it was not the hallucination, they all showed ecstasy. They clasped their fists and shouted: "Don't worry, lord, after the 150,000 army arrived in Jingzhou, we will use Jingzhou city as the main force, and Liu Biao's Jingzhou soldiers are the main force."

Sure enough, the three of them were Liu Zhang's confidants, and they knew their lord Liu Zhang very well.

After saying something, Liu Zhang showed a satisfied smile. Yes, his 150,000 army just wanted to go out for training and hone it, and he would have a clear mind in the future.

August!

Lu Bu's 100,000 Northern Liang army was already passing by Luoyang and running directly towards Jizhou.

And on the battlefield in Jizhou, it was even more in full swing.

Zhang Liao had long led an army of 50,000 to the city of Bohai, and even joined Zhao Yun, Zhang Yan and Sima Yi.

At the same time, the troops in Bingzhou continued to rush to help first. Gao Shun directly ordered Boling to defend heavily. At the same time, Changshan and Handan also sent additional heavy troops.

The battlefield in Jizhou was changing, and a steady stream of troops rushed into this war zone wildly. Yuan Shao from Bohai was even more furious. Looking at the enemy troops at the city, he immediately decided to draw Qingzhou and Youzhou troops to help.

There is another battlefield at the same time!

Li Yang!

On the other side of the Yellow River, the yellow flags stood in Liyang to set up camps, and an army of 12,000 people stood on the bank of the Yellow River and occupied it tightly, staring at the other side.

White horse!

Cao Cao's vanguard army has also arrived, stationed troops and the White Horse. Now Lu Bu is on the defensive side. It can almost be said that Cao Cao's army occupied the White Horse and wanted to seize Li Yang on the other side.

With the Yellow River as the boundary, Lu Bu and Cao Cao's vanguard army have confronted each other.

This battle came too suddenly. Even Lu Bu, who had prepared a lot, was a little anxious, let alone Cao Cao who was not prepared.

With the transfer of troops from all over the country, Cao Cao was preparing to send 150,000 troops to seize the Yellow River and deter Jizhou, forcing Lu Bu to divide his troops to defend another place.

At this time, the vanguard army was stationed in the White Horse, Cao Cao also had a vanguard army. He was heading towards Hulao Pass and directly deterred Luoyang and told Lu Bu that once Hulao fell, Luoyang would be under Cao Cao's nose.

Maybe your future will be cut off.

Which place is true? Lu Bu didn't know, Yuan Shao didn't know, and no one in the world knew which part of Cao Cao, the treacherous hero, was preparing to send troops.

White horse.

This time, Cao's army divided the troops. The Yellow River was so long that Huang Zhong could easily guard it, so the army was almost stationed on Baima.

And the white horse is a nail. If you, Cao's army, dare to advance straight, he will be able to cut off your retreat.

The sky was full of dark clouds this day, and there was a depressing atmosphere in the air. Finally, there was a breeze in August, but the white horse area was covered with flags.

Cao! Lü!

In the confrontation between the two armies, Cao Cao's vanguard general Xiahou Yuan stared at the enemy in the distance, especially a majestic general with mature bronze armor in the middle of the enemy.

"I'm sorry, Zhongkang, look at it. The one standing under the banner in the middle is Huang Zhong, who is the first tiger general under Lu Bu's tent."

Following Xiahou Yuan's finger, Dian Wei and Xu Chu who were following the army suddenly widened their eyes.

In the army opposite, Huang Zhong, who was nearly fifty years old, had a gray beard. Under the long beard that fluttered in the wind, the majestic Huang Zhong held a long sword and looked at the opposite side solemnly.

Even though it is a mature copper armor, it is still difficult to hide the bright hair on both sides of Huang Zhong's temples.

(Huang Zhong fought against Guan Yu in 60 years in 209 AD. Now in 198, there is a ten-year difference between Huang Zhong and his age is about fifty)

"The old general, the enemy is Xiahou Yuan, the general under Cao Cao."

The accompanying deputy general Zhang He pointed at Huang Zhong in a low voice, and Huang Zhong suddenly showed a sudden enlightenment.

"Old man Huang Zhong! You are already an old man. You are not at home and you are holding your second archway in the world. You dare to lead troops to fight. You really don't know how to live or die."

Xiahou Yuan, who was strangling the war horse, walked to the front of the formation with a sneer and laughed loudly. He knew his lord's intention and sought victory in the first battle. Only in this way could he defeat Lu Bu's military power in Northern Liang and relieve Yuan Shao's danger.

As for Hulao Pass! Cao Cao is not stupid, and he really dares to break through such a dangerous pass. Lu Bu ignored Yuan Shao and went south from Jizhou to cross the Yellow River, which could directly cut off his retreat.

What's more, Cao Cao was not fully prepared this time, and it was not the best time he expected to start a war. Everything he did was to force Lu Bu to withdraw his troops.

"Old man Huang Zhong! Can you still take the knife?"

Xiahou Yuan laughed wildly, not that he was arrogant, but that he could be called me at thirty in this era. Fifty is already the year of destiny. Almost all those who can live sixty are old. As for those who are seventy or eighty, it is rare.

In the eyes of people of this era, the fifty-year-old Huang Zhong is already an old man, and most people are almost dying.

Xiahou Yuan was clamoring and cursing wildly, and he said carefully: "Wang Zhongruo dares to come out to fight later, General Dian Wei, you rush out first, drag Huang Zhong, and then General Xu Chu rushed out and join forces to kill this person first!"

"Oh, I know."

Although they were reluctant, this was the meaning of their lord Cao Cao. Dian Wei was also frustrated and helpless. Xu Chu's face was also a little unfair. After all, they had to join forces with a fifty-year-old!

Can orders cannot be violated!

"Huang Zhong!"

Xiahou Yuan on the opposite side laughed wildly, while Huang Zhong in the Northern Liang army sneered. Zhang He on the side couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "Old General, the enemy general is a way to provoke the general."

How could Huang Zhong not know? If Huang Zhong in the long history had been said to have a very disgusted with others calling him an old general, especially when he mentioned his age, it is different now.

Huang Zhong, who had already become famous all over the world, was not silent at his peak, but followed Lu Bu to become famous all over the world. He did not have any regrets now. Instead, the old general was even more heartbroken when he heard what he said to him.

Zhang He on one side called out the old general, and Huang Zhong smiled and nodded. The old general seemed to be his military achievements. He has followed his lord for so many years and has experienced many wars in the battles between the south and the north. Not only did he not lose his life, but he also won the title of the number one tiger general under Lu Bu.

The first general under Lu Bu!

This was enough to make him happy. His life was enough, and he was satisfied with it. He was still as depressed as the first half of his life. He emerged after sixty years and wanted to become famous all over the world.

Man! No one doesn't want to make a name for himself.

But Huang Zhong has done it.
