Under heavy pressure, Han Dang finally gave in.
But he seemed to have forgotten one thing.
The choice of whether to give in or not is his, and the decision of whether to accept or not to forgive is up to Liu Zhang.
At least for now, Liu Zhang is completely indifferent.
Since he did not receive clear instructions from Liu Zhang, Dian Wei was not polite at all.
One hand seemed to have the strength of a thousand pounds, making Han Dang unable to breathe.
The entire shoulder has begun to become numb due to the long-term severe pain.
If this continues, irreparable damage will inevitably be caused.
Han Dang was so anxious that he could only humblely pray to Liu Zhang again.
"King Qin, Han Dang has come to kowtow to you and confess his guilt!"
Again indifferent, Liu Zhang didn't even raise his eyelids.
Han Dang was horrified and regretful.
I had to cry and pray again.
"King Qin, I know I was wrong!"
A middle-aged man, nearly fifty years old, cried and begged for mercy.
This is already an extremely serious punishment for an era that values face.
After another moment, Liu Zhang finally responded.
After looking at Han Dang lightly, he made a gesture to Dian Wei.
Dian Wei immediately understood and immediately released his hand from restraining Han Dang.
Who would have thought that when being held down by Dian Wei, Han Dang would still be struggling to stay in place.
After Dian Wei let go of his hand, Han Dang instantly collapsed on the ground.
While he kept breathing heavily, his eyes were filled with lingering fear.
The lesson he learned this time was enough for him to remember for the rest of his life!
After a long time, Han Dang finally recovered a little, stood up quickly, and bowed down.
"Thank you, King Qin, for not killing me!"
Compared with before, there is no disrespect at all!
"Hehehe..."
Liu Zhang sneered several times and ignored Han Dang.
This man is not worthy of his extra breath.
Immediately, he turned to look at Huang Gai again.
"General Huang, if I remember correctly, Cheng Pu is now the prefect of Guangling, right?"
"Um...yes...yes, yes!"
Huang Gai obviously hasn't recovered from Han Dang's incident.
He was really shocked just now, and he thought Han Dang was hopeless!
"To report to the King of Qin, the imperial court personally issued a decree not long ago and appointed Cheng Pu as the Grand Administrator of Guangling, Zhou Yu as the Grand Administrator of Jiujiang, and Lu Meng as the Grand Administrator of Lujiang."
In order to explain clearly, Huang Gai specifically explained the situation in the three counties of Jiangbei in detail.
He also specifically told Liu Zhang that it was the imperial court that conferred the title, not Sun Quan's own initiative.
Liu Zhang frowned slightly and looked at Huang Gai with some confusion.
"General Huang, you, Cheng Pu, and Han Dang are all veterans of the Sun family."
"Now Cheng Pu is already the governor of a county, and he is very powerful. Han Dang is not as good as Cheng Pu, but he is still a partial general."
"But General Huang has been on the battlefield for a long time and has made countless military exploits for the Sun family!"
"Why, just a little captain?"
In fact, Liu Zhang had something even worse to say!
Even young generals such as Lu Xun and Lu Meng have now become prefects of a county and commanders of an army.
Huang Gai is not even a general!
Perhaps the miscellaneous generals are a bit too high. Huang Gai is not even as good as a school captain, or even a miscellaneous school captain!
Captain?
In Liu Zhang's opinion, Huang Gai's achievements in a random battle were more than the captain could reward!
Huang Gai's eyes twitched and he looked extremely embarrassed.
He really didn't know how to answer this question.
After all, the surrounding Jiangdong generals include various factions.
Sun's die-hard loyalists, Huaisi faction and Jiangdong faction.
Don’t tell me, absolutely not!
There will inevitably be rumors that Huang Gai is dissatisfied with Sun Quan.
If you say it wrong, you will be in even greater trouble!
There might be some rumors!
In desperation, Huang Gai could only force out a smile.
"For the King of Qin, I have also served as county magistrate in various counties. I was recently appointed as the captain by Duke Wu."
"As for positions... Jiangdong has always been occupied by capable people!"
"General Cheng Pu and General Han Dang are both talented generals and capable officials in governing the world. Prefects and generals are in line with their talents."
"But I'm just a mediocre person! The position of captain is already a high level..."
After saying this, Huang Gai smiled nonchalantly.
There seemed to be no dissatisfaction with this appointment.
But how could the deep helplessness hidden behind the smile escape Liu Zhang's eyes?
Previous conjectures seem to be being confirmed.
Liu Zhang did not continue talking about his official position, but casually changed the subject.
"Where is General Huang from? How did he meet General Sun Wentai?"
Huang Gai was relieved. This question obviously would not embarrass him.
When I mentioned my acquaintance with Sun Jian, I felt a little nostalgic, so I told him.
"For your information, King Qin, I am from Quanling, Lingling County."
"I think that when my old lord was the governor of Changsha, he was ordered to kill the rebellion led by Ou Xing, Zhou Dynasty and Guo Shi in Jingnan. It was at that time that I joined my old lord's command!"
"Think about it, it's been seventeen years now..."
Huang Gai looked so melancholy that Liu Zhang couldn't help but look sideways.
I remember this past event so clearly, I think it had a great impact on Huang Gai!
Maybe that time was really unforgettable compared to now.
"General Huang, have you ever heard of General Huang Zhong under Gu's command?"
"Of course! Everyone in the world knows General Huang's name!"
Huang Gai nodded repeatedly, with a trace of envy flashing in his eyes.
Huang Zhong, the former general of the Qin State, is undoubtedly the number one figure in the Qin Army!
He is in charge of the Eastern Army and has more than 100,000 troops under his command!
Compared with Liu Bei, masters like Sun Quan are not weak at all!
The same surname is Huang, which makes Huang Gai envious of Huang Zhong, but also has a natural sense of closeness.
"Gu and Huang Zhong met four years ago in Jianning, when Gu was only three years old!"
"At that time, the world was stable, and Huang Zhong was just serving as a county soldier in Wan County."
"It can be said that Huang Zhong was the first to follow Gu and the longest time!"
The speaker has a heart, and the listener has a heart!
Huang Gai's eyes were full of bitterness.
So why isn't he?
Cheng Pu and Huang Gai were the first to follow Sun Jian, joining the Sun family earlier than Han Dang and Zu Mao.
But what was the result?
Cheng Pu was the governor and Han Dang was the general.
Only Huang Gai himself was still a small captain.
To put it bluntly, if you drop a brick in Jiangdong, you can kill a whole group of captains!
Now Zu Mao is dead!
If he didn’t die, he might even be inferior to Zu Mao!
Huang Zhong and Huang Gai.
They are both ministers of humiliation, both have the same surname Huang, and both have extremely strong abilities. Why is there such a big difference?
The former is lofty and powerful, making countless people yearn for him.
The latter was lost to everyone, and his reputation could not spread even far east of the Yangtze River.
"Back then I heard Huang Zhong say that he was a descendant of Huang Xiang, but his family was in decline."
"Now, it can be regarded as a glorious honor, and it has not disgraced the reputation of our ancestors."
"I heard that most of the Huang family in Jingzhou came from Huangxiang. I wonder if this is the case?"
