Kong Ming thought for a while and found that it was indeed the case. When he was about to ask the reason, Yu Yi suddenly looked a little worried and said: "My second brother Guan is actually very worried when he is like this. Since ancient times, he has suffered losses and Qian has benefited. "Kong Ming sighed: "Let's see what happens this time. I have suggested that the lord take his troops to Changsha and prepare to meet him."
Han Xuan, the governor of Changsha, was very impatient and liked killing, which was disgusted by everyone. When he heard that Guan Yu was coming with his troops, he asked the veteran Huang Zhong to discuss it.
Huang Zhong said: "My lord does not need to worry about this little matter. I will use this knife and this bow in my hand. If a thousand come, a thousand will die!" Huang Zhong is still very famous around Changsha. He can shoot a bow with the power of two stones and shoot arrows very accurately.
As soon as he finished speaking, a person below responded: "I don't think the old general needs to personally come forward in this matter. As long as I take action, I can definitely capture Guan Yu alive and give it to the lord first."
Han Xuan saw that this was Yang Ling, the military commander. Han Xuan was very happy and asked him to lead a thousand soldiers and horses out of the city to meet the enemy.
Walking about fifty miles outside the city, I saw dust flickering not far away. It was Guan Yu who arrived with his troops.
Yang Ling drew his gun and stood in front of the formation and shouted. Guan Yu did not reply after hearing this. He was very angry and rode to a duel. The two horses crossed each other. In less than three rounds, Guan Yu killed the opponent. Only Yang could be seen. Ling straightened and fell under the horse. Guan Yu took advantage of the victory and pursued him to the bottom of the city.
When Han Xuan heard the news, he was very surprised and asked Huang Zhong to go out in person. Han Xuan came to the top of the city to watch. Huang Zhong rode on horseback with a sword in hand and led 500 cavalry across the suspension bridge.
When Guan Yu saw a veteran coming out, he remembered what Kong Ming had mentioned before. Knowing that it was Huang Zhong, he ordered five hundred swordsmen to line up in a row. Hengdao immediately asked, "Could the person coming here be Huang Zhong?"
Huang Zhong replied: "Since you know my reputation, how dare you come to invade our border!"
Guan Yu said: "Yes, I'm just here to take your head!" After saying that, the two began to fight one-on-one. They fought for more than a hundred rounds, but they couldn't tell the winner.
Han Xuan was afraid that Huang Zhong was in danger, so he ordered gold to withdraw his troops.
Huang Zhong collected his troops and returned to the city. Guan Yu had no choice but to retreat and set up camp ten miles away from the city. He thought to himself: "This veteran Huang Zhong is indeed well-deserved. He has fought more than a hundred rounds and there are no flaws. He will definitely be there one day." You need to use the knife-drag strategy and slash from behind to defeat him."
On the second day, after breakfast, Guan Yu went to the bottom of the city to challenge again. Han Xuan sat on the city wall and asked Huang Zhong to fight. Huang Zhong once again led hundreds of cavalry across the suspension bridge and fought Guan Yu decisively. The two fought for five more times. Sixty rounds, no matter the outcome, the soldiers on both sides cheered together. When the drum beat was getting louder, Guan Yu turned his horse's head and prepared to leave. Huang Zhong hurried over. Guan Yu was about to turn around and chop with his sword, but suddenly he heard a sound from behind. He hurriedly looked back and found that Huang Zhong was thrown out by the war horse and fell to the ground.
Guan Yu quickly turned the horse's head and walked up to Huang Zhong. Huang Zhong knew that the other party was definitely going to kill him, so he closed his eyes. Suddenly he heard Guan Yu say: "I'll save your life this time. Go back and change the horse." Come here, I will fight you!"
So Huang Zhong picked up the horse's hoof, flew on his horse, and entered the city. Han Xuan saw everything and was very surprised and asked why.
He replied: "This horse hasn't been in battle for a long time, that's why it's like this!"
Han Xuandao: "Your bow and arrow can pierce the poplar with a hundred steps, why don't you shoot Guan Yu?"
Huang Zhong said: "When we go to the decisive battle in the future, we will definitely pretend to have failed, and then lure him to the suspension bridge and shoot him."
Han Xuan gave his horse to Huang Zhong. Huang Zhong thanked him and left. I thought to myself: "I didn't expect Guan Yu to be so loyal and let me live. He couldn't bear to harm me, so how could I shoot him to death? But if I don't shoot, I must have violated the general's order." I didn't sleep well that night!
At dawn the next day, someone reported that it was Guan Yu who came to challenge again, or Huang Zhong came out with his troops. Guan Yu and Huang Zhong fought evenly for two days, and he felt a little anxious, so he showed off his power and fought with Huang Zhong. After less than thirty rounds of fighting, Huang Zhong pretended that he couldn't beat him, and Guan Yu rushed over. Huang Zhong once again thought of yesterday's kindness of not killing. He couldn't bear to shoot an arrow, so he took the knife and sounded the bowstring. Guan Yu thought that there was The bow and arrow quickly dodged, but did not see the bow and arrow. Guan Yu continued to chase, and Huang Zhong sounded the bow string again. This time there was still no bow and arrow. Guan Yu understood that Huang Zhong could not shoot arrows, so he continued to chase with confidence. When they arrived near the suspension bridge, Huang Zhong The bow was fired on the bridge, and the bowstring sounded again. This time the bow and arrow hit the hat on Guan Yu's head. The sergeants in front cheered together. Guan Yu was surprised and returned to the camp with his hat. Only then did he know that Huang Zhong's bow and arrow The skill can indeed be called a hundred steps to pierce the Yang. This time he deliberately shot his own helmet. It was not that the bow and arrow missed the target, but to repay the kindness of not killing that time. Guan Yu retreated with his troops.
Huang Zhong walked to the city wall to see Han Xuan. Han Xuan immediately sent people to capture Huang Zhong. Huang Zhong was a little surprised and asked, "What crime have I committed?"
Han Xuan was very angry and said: "I have been watching on the city wall for three days. Why did you lie to me? You didn't go to battle well the day before yesterday. You must have selfish motives. You made a mistake yesterday and Guan Yu didn't kill you. You must have taken care of it today. You plucked the bowstring twice, and the third time you shot the arrow, it only hit his helmet. Why are you not in contact with Guan Yu? If I don't kill you, it will definitely be trouble in the future!" After saying that, he asked the swordsman to push it to the bottom of the city gate and behead him. Everyone quickly begged for mercy.
Han Xuandao: "You have sympathy for those who absolve Huang Zhong of his crimes! All of them will be beheaded!"
So Huang Zhong was brought to the city gate by the soldiers, and he was about to behead him with a sword. Suddenly, a general rushed in with a sword, killed the swordsman, and rescued Huang Zhong. He shouted: "Huang Zhong is from Changsha." Bao Bao, if you kill him now, you will kill the people of Changsha! Han Xuan is cruel and cruel, and he despises the soldiers. We should kill him together, and those who are willing to follow me will come together!"
Everyone saw that he was Wei Yan from Yiyang with a face as heavy as jujube and eyes as bright as stars. He was also the one who rebelled in Xiangyang earlier and was going to take refuge with Liu Bei. After Liu Bei left, he went to take refuge with Han Xuan. Han Xuan was very arrogant towards him. , and refused to reuse him, so he stayed in Changsha.
Wei Yan's actions received everyone's response. He rescued Huang Zhong and went with the people to kill Han Xuan. With a rally, more people joined in, and Huang Zhong could not stop him.
Wei Yan walked to the city wall, cut Han Xuan into two pieces with a knife in front of everyone, carried the heads of men and horses, led the people out of the city, and surrendered to Guan Yu.
Guan Yu was distressed at this time. According to Huang Zhong's bow and arrow ability, he was not sure of winning Changsha. Suddenly he heard someone coming to surrender, and only saw a soldier holding Han Xuan's head. After learning about the situation, Guan Yu was very happy and led him Armed with five hundred swords and axes, he entered the city.
