When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 341 Xiahou Yuan: Hiss, my neck hurts again

"General Huang, General Huang, no, no, how can I ask General Huang, who has done a great job in saving the emperor, to come out of the city to welcome him?"

Liu Biao waved his hands repeatedly.

The soldiers guarding the city wall of Hulao Pass looked at each other in confusion. Why did General Huang respect this man so much?
Someone expressed his guess
"Liu is on the flag"

"Could this gentleman be General Wei's brother?"

Huang Zhong did not take the whispers of the soldiers behind him to heart, but Liu Biao's polite words made his face change. He thought he was used to this title, but when the unfamiliar voice said "General Huang" three times in a row to him, his blood pressure rose uncontrollably and his eyelids twitched wildly. If the person who spoke was not Liu Biao, who had done Liu Bei a favor, his face would have turned black long ago.

"Liu, General Liu, let's go to Guanzhong first and reminisce about the past. What do you think?" Huang Zhong forced a smile.

Liu Biao always felt that Huang Zhong's complexion became a little bad. He secretly thought, could it be that he was not feeling well?
Fortunately, Huang Zhong's words brought Liu Biao back to the present, "General Huang, please..."

Huang Zhong took a deep breath and calmed himself down. "Envoy, please."

Liu Biao followed Huang Zhong into Hulao Pass and came to Huang Zhong's residence. After some negotiations, Liu Biao stated his purpose, "General Huang, I came here on this trip at the request of General Wei. General Wei asked me to deliver the letter to General Huang."

"Thank you, sir." Huang Zhong took the letter from Liu Biao with a stiff smile and opened it. He saw a familiar handwriting, so familiar that he could tell it was written by Liu Bei at a glance. However, the words in the letter were different.
Liu Biao witnessed with his own eyes that Huang Zhong's expression became subtle, which made Liu Biao very curious.

"General Huang, what's wrong?"

"Liu Shijun, do you know what General Wei wrote in the letter?"

"Hmm, a major military event? If that's the case, I won't ask about it."

Huang Zhong shook his head. "It's not a big deal. It was General Wei who suggested that I take Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun as my subordinates."

“?” Liu Biao was a little confused. He was just an official, why should he worry?

Huang Zhong sighed and said, "In short, the envoy will know everything clearly when he sees Miaocai."

He turned his head and looked at Cao Ren beside him, "Please go and invite Xiahou Miaocai and Xiahou Yuanrang."

"promise."

Cao Ren responded in a deep voice with his fist clasped, and then hurried away. Not long after, a burly warrior with a broad back and strong arms, who was obviously good at charging into battle, and a tall man followed by his personal guards came to Huang Zhong and Liu Bian.

"Yuan/Dun meets General Huang Huang!"

Liu Biao squinted his eyes and looked at the two men. He found that the warrior who called himself "Yuan" had a strange expression on his face, especially when he looked at Huang Zhong, he was actually a little timid. This man's hand even subconsciously covered his neck. Such an expression and such an action made Liu Biao inexplicably think of a rabbit to an eagle, a lamb to a jackal.

Weird, weird.

"Miaocai, Yuanrang, Cao Mengde asked General Wei to send you a letter to join my army. With the thousand men you have recruited, I will temporarily recruit you with the titles of military marquis. After some time, if you meet my requirements, I will write to His Majesty to appoint you as Sima. What do you think?" Xiahou Yuan frowned, groaning in his heart, Brother, are you selling me out to Huang Hansheng now? ? ?
Cao Ren was delighted and wanted to agree on behalf of Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun, but when he saw Xiahou Yuan's expression, he shut his mouth.

If Xiahou Yuan had not arrived at Hulao Pass, any hesitation would have been unsatisfactory to Huang Zhong's request. After all, a Sima must submit a letter to the emperor.

However, when Xiahou Yuan arrived at Hulao Pass and saw Huang Zhong, he thought to himself, whether it was the knights or the infantrymen, they all called General Huang "General Huang Lao". Could it be that they meant that General Huang was experienced?

So he subconsciously called out "General Huang", and saw Huang Zhong's teeth chattering. Before he could prepare, Huang Zhong drew out his sword, and the blade flashed as fast as an arrow from a bow, which made him alarmed and his brows twitched wildly.

The good news is that the knife stopped just inches away from the neck; the bad news is that Cao Ren's knife, which tried to stop Huang Zhong, was chopped away, and Cao Ren injured his wrist.
Xiahou Yuan, who had survived the catastrophe, gasped for breath, sweat dripping down his back. He felt as if he had walked through a field of weeds.
From then on, whenever Xiahou Yuan saw Huang Zhong, he felt inexplicable pain in his neck.

Seeing Xiahou Yuan's expression, Huang Zhong sighed helplessly. He had been busy all day and wanted to go home, but then he learned that Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun mentioned by Cao Cao were coming. In this life, Xiahou Yuan was a friend, not an enemy, and he wanted to receive him well. As luck would have it, Xiahou Yuan's words "General Huang" pulled him back to the Battle of Hanzhong in his dream. The Xiahou Yuan in his dream and the Xiahou Yuan in front of him gradually reunited. He gripped his sword with his backhand and swung it with all his strength. Fortunately, Cao Ren drew his sword and blocked his blade. Although Cao Ren did not stop it completely, the sound of the metal collision between the swords brought Huang Zhong's thoughts back to the present, which prevented a tragedy.

Afterwards, Huang Zhong came to apologize and called a doctor to treat Xiahou Yuan, but there was no sign of improvement.

Thinking of this, Huang Zhong hesitated for a moment and said, "If you don't want to, I can introduce Generals Guan and Zhang to you two."

Xiahou Dun was naturally willing to stay in Huang Zhong's army. Over the past few days, he had witnessed with his own eyes that Huang Zhong was strict in military discipline and led by example, which won the trust of all the soldiers and officers, and was very much to his liking.

only.
He looked at Xiahou Yuan worriedly.

After a long silence, Xiahou Yuan exhaled a breath of foul air. He said to Huang Zhong: "General, how can a general retreat because of fear? I am willing to be a military marquis under your command!"

Xiahou Dun said hurriedly: "Me too!"

Liu Biao, who saw this scene, was sure that Xiahou Yuan was afraid of Huang Zhong. He whispered to Lu Renjia:

"General Huang, what is your rank in General Wei's army?"

Lu Renjia replied truthfully: "Yes, it is enough to rival the general of Louchuan!"

".Tower Ship General"

The more Liu Biao looked at Huang Zhong, the happier he became. A brave warrior like Xiahou Miaocai was afraid of General Huang like a tiger. Even General Guan and General Huang were on par with each other. How great it would be if General Huang was one of my generals!
However, as soon as this thought came to his mind, Liu Biao lowered his head in shame.

General Wei treats me like a brother, and the officials respect me because of General Wei. How could I covet General Wei's former subordinates? I am so ashamed!
"Envoy Liu? Are you okay?"

Huang Zhong's voice rang in his ears. Liu Biao looked up and shook his head, "No problem."

Huang Zhong ordered Cao Ren to send Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun back to the camp, and later told Liu Biao the whole story.

Liu Biao suddenly realized what was going on and said, "It turned out to be just a misunderstanding!"
