Although the Three Kingdoms had generals like clouds and advisors like rain, the two most powerful generals and advisors were the two arsenals and the two think tanks.
The two major arsenals are Qiaojun, Cao Cao's hometown, and Nanyang, Wei Yan and Huang Zhong's hometown. The think tank is Xun or Guo Jia’s Yingchuan, and the other think tank is Nanyang!
Nanyang is Liu Xiu's hometown. Half of the twenty-eight Yuntai generals at the time of the uprising were from Nanyang. This is the foundation of the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty. As a result, Cao Cao almost unified the world after he got the think tank and the arsenal, but Liu Biao didn't do much after he got the Nanyang Zhi arsenal. He really wronged Huang Zhong.
Many fans of the Three Kingdoms believe that if Huang Zhong were more than 20 years younger and appeared on the scene during the Yellow Turban Uprising in 184, the number one general in the Three Kingdoms might not be Lu Bu.
The battle of entering Sichuan fought by Huang Zhong and Wei Yan following Liu Bei was a tough battle in which they took the lead in attacking the city. The quality of the generals who attacked the mountainous city was quite high. And because Liu Bei entered Sichuan at the invitation of Liu Zhang to fight against Zhang Lu, he could not bring many troops to avoid irritating Liu Zhang in advance. Therefore, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan fought with fewer soldiers and less food, and their quality was higher.
During the Battle of Hanzhong, Huang Zhong reached the pinnacle of his life. Xia Houyuan, who was "tiger-stepping on the right of Guan", was defeated by Liu Bei, and was named the four generals of the front, rear, left and right by Liu Bei, the same as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Ma Chao. It can be said that Huang Zhong established Guan Zhang's reputation for most of his life in just two battles.
Originally, Zhuge Liang expressed concern about this matter, saying that Huang Zhong's reputation was not outstanding. Zhang Fei and Ma Chao could see the achievements in these two battles and had no objections. However, Guan Yu, who was far away in Jingzhou, did not see it and must have objections, right? Cancel the post-general Huang Zhong?
Liu Bei showed considerable foresight and sent Fei Shi with a large number of rewards to appease Guan Yu, which suppressed Guan Yu's anger. Then the next year, Huang Zhong died of illness at the age of 73.
Perhaps it was still Luo Guanzhong's old problem. He didn't want the general to die in such an ordinary way, so he added drama to Huang Zhong's "life extension" and arranged to fight in the battle of Liu Bei's attack on Wu. He died under the ambush of Wu general Ma Zhong...
Such a general has a simple personality, without Guan Yu's arrogant temper, Zhang Fei's drinking and troublemaking, and Wei Yan's petty thoughts. He should be easy to get along with! That's the key point.
…
So, Dachun and his party came to Songzi Town and saw the two legendary generals waiting at the intersection.
However, the aura is not as powerful and compelling as imagined, and the aura is automatic without wind. Huang Zhong is an old man who looks very strong, and even a little kind, just like Calabash Baby's grandfather.
As for Wei Yan, of course he is not the bald one in the arcade, but he is not as tall as Guan Zhang. He is not as strong as Pang De, nor has the sharpness of a ruffian like Gan Ning, nor is he close to the cold and heroic force of Ma Chao. , looks like a pig-killing blacksmith with some strength, and a little bit of a profiteer... Well, this is not consistent with the imagined twenty-four generals!
But Dachun immediately came to his senses. It was precisely because they didn't look that surprising that they were not allowed to be reused. This was Liu Biao's fault of judging people by their appearance and not recognizing them!
That's not right, Liu Biao asked Huang Zhongfu's left nephew Liu Pan to guard Changsha, which shows that he still knew Huang Zhong's ability. But Liu Biao's problem was that he was concerned about family status. Naturally, a warrior like Huang Zhong who was not from a wealthy noble family could not have a high status.
Wei Yan was the first to salute: "Wei Yan of Yiyang, I have met the young master! The young master has a majestic appearance and an immortal spirit. He has impressed Jingnan. He is truly a dragon and a phoenix among men. He is the hero of the world. Wei Yan admires him!"
Damn it, is this still the arrogant Wei Yan? However, this attitude is still necessary for top leaders.
Huang Zhong also said: "Nanyang Huang Zhong, thanks to General Wei's rescue, I was able to meet the young master!"
This should be the trap set up by Wei Yan and Gong Zhi, right?
Dachun hurriedly supported the two men: "The two generals have failed to show their talents and have been wronged. Jingzhou is in chaos, and I urgently need the two generals to show their talents! Let's go and have a banquet first to support the two generals!"
"Thank you, Mr. Xie, I will not hesitate to do anything to my heart's content..."
At the banquet, Dachun still had the pomp and circumstance of being surrounded by female attendants, and her persona had to stand firm at all times. At the same time, you can also look at Huang Zhong and Wei Yan's reaction.
Huang Zhong just drinks and eats meat with his head down, his eyes are not squinting and he is very reserved. Yes, it is very similar to Jin Xuan's ancestor Jin Rixi. Other grooms were peeking at the concubines beside Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but Jin Rixi did not squint, thus standing out from the grooms.
As for Wei Yan, he raised his head to toast from time to time, but Dachun could confirm that his eyes were focused on himself and did not wander to Mei Ji beside him. Not bad, he is a man who does great things. No wonder Liu Bei asked him to guard Hanzhong.
Dachun wanted to take this opportunity to understand the situation in Changsha: "The two generals are here in person. Who is in charge of Changsha?"
Wei Yan said: "Wei Meng, the son of a dog, will temporarily take over. To ensure nothing is lost, all the elites will stay in the city. It's just me and General Huang. I am confident that the two of us are worth dozens of elite soldiers."
Dachun nodded: "That's the young general who came to deliver Han Xuan's head that day. Yes, he should be focused on training. But Han Xuan is quite evil. I suspect that there may be an ancient evildoer in Changsha. What do the two generals think?"
Wei Yan was stunned for a moment, and Huang Zhong's expression changed: "Young Master, do you think so too?"
There's drama! Dachun was excited: "General Huang, tell me?"
Huang Zhong solemnly said: "At that time, I would follow Liu Pan to station in Changsha to harass Soochow. Then Liu Pan met his strong enemy Taishi Ci and suffered a lot. Then he became more and more irritable and depressed, and the result was unknown. So he engaged in Korean affairs. Xuan was promoted to the governor of Changsha, and then Han Xuan became more and more irritable. There must be something wrong with this!"
Sure enough, I thought of one!
Dachun asked hurriedly: "What about Zhang Zhongjing, the former Changsha prefect's miracle doctor?"
Huang Zhong became even more excited: "I don't know where he ended up! If Dr. Zhang was here, how could my son Huang Xu have died young?"
Wei Yan was also shocked: "Is this specifically to punish the prefect?"
Huang Zhong said: "Your Majesty is not the governor! General Wei is not in Changsha either."
Wei Yan was still a little anxious: "Why didn't General Huang tell me about this earlier?"
Huang Zhong sighed: "How can we start talking about this kind of thing without any evidence? It was only when the young master asked me that I figured it out and dared to say it! What's more, General Wei came to Changsha when Han Xuan was the prefect. The former I probably won’t be interested in anything either.”
Wei Yan hurriedly asked: "What exactly is the ancient monster?"
It’s Zhu Yan!
But Huang Zhong insisted: "It must be Taishi Ci!"
No way! Dachun was shocked: "What is the basis for General Huang?"
Huang Zhong said in a deep voice: "Tai Shi Ci can't be that strong, he must be possessed by a monster, otherwise the general and Liu Pan wouldn't be able to defeat him if they team up! Liu Pan is brave and not inferior to General Wei!"
Damn it! Is Liu Qi’s cousin really that brave?
Dachun asked in a trembling voice: "Didn't Taishi Ci die of illness two years ago?"
Huang Zhong said in a low voice: "I am so unbearable that I will not die of illness. How could Taishi Ci die of illness when he was in the prime of life? Even if he died, he must have been possessed by an evildoer. Then the evildoer possessed Liu Pan and then possessed him again. Han Xuan is gone."
Taishi Ci is not dead! He came early, using the alias Dong Ge! Then we crossed the river last night...
Dachun looked at Fu Shiren aside in astonishment, and Fu Shiren turned pale: "Mr. Master?"
Dachun immediately remembered the scene when he first met Taishi Ci outside the city. At that time, Taishi Ci knocked Fu Shiren unconscious with a cup of tea. At that time, he thought Fu Shiren's food was beyond imagination. Now it seems that this is Huang Zhong and Liu Pandu. An existence that cannot be dealt with!
A character who obviously died of illness in 206 turned up in the Battle of Chibi in 208, and I took it for granted that Liu Qi, the weapon spirit, summoned him, or started the life-extending mode of the novel. The key is that Huang Yueying figured out where he ended up after he appeared——
Dachun asked hurriedly: "General Fu, has the military counselor's wife come back?"
Fu Shiren shook his head: "I have been using wooden oxen and horseback to transport herbs, but the people have not come back."
Does that mean there must be a reason why Huang Yueying can't come back? To avoid him?
At this moment, Bao Sanniang spoke: "Don't worry, young master, Han Xuan's head has been taken care of."
This is her reminder! ? Well, when employing people now, it is indeed not the time to doubt Taishi Ci! Even though Taishi Ci was possessed, his character was not irritable, and he still remembered Liu Bei's favor and did not harm me. This shows that Taishi Ci still has a strong self-awareness.
The worst thing is, just help him take down Zhu Yan! Perhaps, this is why he came to find me?
