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

Chapter 460 General Huang is really making things difficult for you (four thousand)

Huang Zhong frowned slightly, and thoughts in his mind kept colliding with each other.

Didn’t Military Advisor Xu go to take care of his mother?

How did he suddenly appear on the front line of the war?
Take over food and fodder matters?

I have never received such military orders.
What's more, isn't the official who is in charge of food and fodder matters on behalf of Military Advisor Xu right there taking notes?

As early as when he first discovered Guan Yu, Huang Zhong saw the official who temporarily took over Xu Shu's duties.

It’s not that the official has any relationship with Huang Zhong, it’s just that man’s face that is so impressive.

Just looking at his appearance, anyone who sees him would exclaim in admiration from the bottom of their hearts, what a handsome young man he is!

But the face is a little long
Of course, it is also possible that the boy's name is Zhuge Jin, the elder brother of Prime Minister Zhuge.
It seems that there is some relationship?
In short, Military Advisor Xu appeared in front of him, but did not take over Zhuge Jin's official duties. Could it be that Military Advisor Xu had other official duties this time?

While Huang Zhong was guessing, Xu Shu had already walked up to him and Guan Yu.

Huang Zhong immediately cut off the thoughts in his mind. Just as he was about to say hello, he saw Xu Shu taking out something with a serious face.

Huang Zhong opened his eyes slightly, and almost instantly he recognized what Xu Shu was holding.

Heaven, the emperor’s decree!
It turns out that he has official business to attend to!

Xu Shu ignored Huang Zhong's surprise and read out the emperor's edict with a serious face.

"The Emperor issued an edict."

Huang Zhong was stunned. What? A massive attack on Jizhou?
Attacking Jizhou. Attacking Jizhou did not surprise Huang Zhong, but Xu Shu's subsequent words made his eyelids twitch uncontrollably three times. His eyes were full of disbelief. For a moment, he even wondered if there was something wrong with his ears.

What did he hear?
In the battle of Jizhou, he was the main general and Guan Yu was the deputy general? !

Xu Shu's actions naturally attracted many people's attention, Gan Ning was one of them.

During these days of interaction with Guan Yu, Gan Ning felt more and more that Guan Yu was a true hero.

Treat soldiers well and love the people.

Compared with Guan Yu, I was just a complete bandit.

Gan Ning admired Guan Yu to the core, but when he heard the emperor's edict read out by Xu Shu, he felt something was wrong.

Ok?
General Huang is the main general?

General Guan is the deputy?
Weird, weird.

General Guan was a marquis of a county, a general of the tower ship appointed by the emperor, and the younger brother of General Wei.

How can he be a deputy general?
Gan Ning frowned, not because he looked down on Huang Zhong. He had heard of Huang Zhong's name, that he was a rare warrior in the world, ranked among the top five generals in Liangzhou, and his battle at Hulao Pass was even more impressive and fascinating!

But no matter in terms of seniority, military strategy, or bravery, General Huang is not as good as General Guan! General Guan is the second most powerful general in Liangzhou!

Almost instinctively, Gan Ning subconsciously brought up Zhang Fei's ranking of generals in "Liangzhou Popular Romance".

During these days, Guan Yu treated people gently, which was different from his fierce appearance.

But, even clay figures can get angry!

No matter how good Guan Yu's temper was, Gan Ning felt that Guan Yu would not agree to it so easily.

However, to Gan Ning's surprise, Guan Yu was not angry at all. Instead, he stroked his long beard and laughed.

"Hahaha, General Huang, congratulations! It's my honor! However, when I go to the battlefield, I will have to rely on General Huang!"

Ok?
Gan Ning was suddenly surprised. Why was it different from what he expected?

Then a deep feeling of admiration welled up in my heart.

General Guan is so magnanimous!
Guan Yu and Huang Zhong were unaware of what Gan Ning was thinking, as Huang Zhong's attention was focused on Guan Yu.

At first, Huang Zhong was a little surprised when he heard the imperial edict. The first thought that came to his mind was whether Guan Yu would care?
But soon, he felt relieved.

Yunchang was not as arrogant as he was portrayed in the novels. In order to help me establish prestige among my comrades, he did not hesitate to lose face and compete with me.

Why would you be so angry about the issue of the master and the deputy now?

However, in my opinion, the commander-in-chief should be General Guan.
Huang Zhong's mood disappeared with Guan Yu's words just now.

Guan Yu had already said so, but he was still fussing about the issue of who would be the master and who would be the deputy, which was a bit coy and woman-like.

Thinking of this, Huang Zhong clasped his fists towards Guan Yu and said with a smile: "I have waited for this day for a long time to fight side by side with General Guan!"

"Haha, General Huang, if we two brothers attack together, how can we defeat each other!" After saying this, Guan Yu always felt that something was wrong. It seemed that he had heard this somewhere before, but he did not care too much about it. As long as the meaning was conveyed, it was fine.

Seeing this scene, Gan Ning was itching to join the fight. He stepped forward with a smug look on his face and volunteered, "General Guan, I also want to follow you to defeat the enemy!"

Huang Zhong was slightly startled by Gan Ning's appearance. He recognized Gan Ning and knew that Gan Ning was Guan Yu's deputy and was very good at naval warfare.

Not to mention that this was a land battle, just think about the transportation of food and wounded soldiers. Guan Yu became his deputy general, so naturally he couldn't be distracted to take care of them.

Without Guan Yu and Gan Ning, how can we transport food and grass?
As if seeing Huang Zhong's worry, Guan Yu did not answer Gan Ning, but looked at Xu Shu, "Yuanzhi, about the food and grass issue."

"General Guan, don't worry." Xu Shu put aside the seriousness on his face, waved his feather fan, and laughed loudly: "Through the efforts of General Guan and Sima Gan, they have been fighting against robbers along the way while transporting food and grass for several months. Now the waterway is no longer in trouble. Moreover, I brought several smart and capable officials from General Wei's mansion this time. Together with other captains of the navy, they are enough to take on the task of transporting food and grass."

Xu Shu spoke in great detail, even listing the names, identities, and characteristics of the transferred officials, as if he was explaining them specifically for Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong nodded frequently. Xu Shu used simple words and concise speech. Most of these officials were veterans who led newcomers. He was used to this. It was the same in Liangzhou. Liu Bei was happy to give new officials the opportunity to practice.

"I wonder how General Huang will arrange Xingba?" Guan Yu welcomed Huang Zhong to be his commander-in-chief just as he said. Even Gan Ning's arrangements were based on Huang Zhong's wishes.

Huang Zhong looked at Gan Ning carefully. For some reason, Gan Ning, who was usually very brave, seemed a little nervous at this moment.

Huang Zhong has his own way of identifying brave warriors.

After a moment, Huang Zhong, who was silent, pointed at the warhorse behind him and said, "Sima Gan, get on the horse and try your riding skills?"

"promise!"

Gan Ning mounted the horse without hesitation and began to demonstrate his riding skills.

Guan Yu approached Huang Zhong and asked, "General Huang, why did you ask Xingba to demonstrate his riding skills?"

"General Guan, don't you think that Sima Gan is very suitable to lead a sudden cavalry attack?"

"Of course, of course. I think so, too."

However, what Huang Zhong didn't know was that Guan Yu gave Huang Zhong a thumbs up in his heart.

As expected of General Huang, he can actually see Xingba’s strengths at a glance!

Guan Yu's eyes showed admiration. It was no secret that a hundred riders had raided Wei's camp among the wise ministers who were able to go to heaven.

He was sure that Huang Zhong would be able to go to the fairyland in the future, but the time had not come yet. For Huang Zhong, who had never been to the fairyland, he naturally had no idea what the Hundred Strong Raid on Wei Camp meant.

But one can tell at a glance what Gan Ning is suitable for.
The more Guan Yu thought about it, the more he felt emotional. At the same time, he felt sorry for Huang Zhong in history. Such a powerful general Huang was only accepted by his elder brother when he was over fifty years old. He was not valued before and served as an old soldier for decades. It was really sad that his own son died young.

As Guan Yu was sighing, Huang Zhong said to Gan Ning, "Sima Gan, I have a plan in mind. I want you to be the Sima of the Cavalry Soldiers."

Gan Ning was overjoyed when he heard this. He immediately pulled the reins to stop his horse, then quickly dismounted and clasped his fists towards Huang Zhong, thanking him: "Ning, I will definitely not let General Huang down!"

After saying this, Gan Ning felt something was wrong. Was it his illusion? Why did General Huang look a little gloomy?

Soon, Huang Zhong gave the answer.

Huang Zhong walked towards Gan Ning, who was startled and frowned slightly.

It was not that Gan Ning was frightened by Huang Zhong, but the generals who passed by showed sympathy on their faces.

He was really confused. Why were these people looking at him like that?
Is there something dirty on your face?
Gan Ning wiped his face subconsciously. There was clearly nothing there.
Huang Zhong walked up to Gan Ning, patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Sir Gan, from now on, you can just call me 'General Huang'. You don't have to include the word 'old' in it."

"Ah? Oh well, General Huang."

Gan Ning nodded.

Then Gan Ning discovered that the expressions of the generals around him had changed again. They no longer had the pity they had before, but were instead a little surprised.

One of them seemed to be gritting his teeth.

No, what on earth is going on?!

"Brother?" Cao Hong walked to Xiahou Yuan's side. He always felt that Xiahou Yuan was a little strange today. Why was he staring at General Guan's subordinates?

If he remembered correctly, the man's name was Gan Ning, with the courtesy name Xingba, and he was from Yizhou?

"Zi Lian."

Xiahou Yuan withdrew his gaze and set his eyes on Cao Hong.

Cao Hong, whose courtesy name was Zilian, was the brother of Cao Cao.

Xiahou Yuan and Cao Cao had a close relationship. The two families were related by marriage, and he could be considered Cao Cao's cousin. Later, he married the sister of Cao Cao's wife, and the two of them became brothers-in-law.

Cao Hong is Cao Cao's younger brother, younger than him, so it's okay to call him brother.
Not to mention that Cao Cao wrote a letter asking him to take care of Cao Hong, and it was even more reasonable for Cao Hong to call him brother.

As for why Cao Hong appeared here
This is also due to Cao Cao's credit. Since Cao Cao traveled thousands of miles to join Liu Bei, young men in the clan have been vying to follow suit, and Cao Hong is one of them.

In order to take care of his clan brothers, Xiahou Yuan let Cao Hong serve as his personal guard.

only.
Xiahou Yuan didn't know whether he should tell Cao Hong what had just happened.

In the letter, Cao Cao emphasized that Cao Hong had a bad temper, which was why he kept Cao Hong by his side. However, after spending some time with him, he felt that Cao Hong did not have a bad temper as Cao Cao said in the letter.

No matter whether it was a big or small matter, as long as he asked Cao Hong to do it, Cao Hong never shirked it and always followed his lead.

I think my brother is holding Zilian to the standards of Lord Xuande. In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with Zilian's character.
Xiahou Yuan, who was holding back his anger, decided to tell Cao Hong, "Zi Lian, come closer and listen."

Cao Hong put his ear close to Xiahou Yuan's mouth. As Xiahou Yuan continued to narrate, Cao Hong's brows furrowed more and more. He then said angrily, "I see, I see! Brother, I understand. I will teach Gan Xingba a lesson!"

"!"

Xiahou Yuan's shoulders trembled. No, what do you know? !

Fortunately, Xiahou Yuan was quick to act and grabbed Cao Hong who was about to leave. He growled, "Zi Lian, what are you going to do?!"

"Brother, I think Gan Xingba has fooled General Huang, otherwise how could Gan Xingba be safe and sound when he calls 'General Huang' 'Old General Huang'? Don't worry, I will make Gan Xingba pay!"

!

Xiahou Yuan's eyelids kept twitching. He finally understood what Cao Cao meant. Wasn't this cousin too narrow-minded? !
And it's too impulsive, isn't it?!

Did he mean to let Cao Hong teach Gan Ning a lesson?
No!

He just saw that Gan Ning was dissatisfied, and was also somewhat dissatisfied with Huang Zhong's different treatment, so he was holding his anger.

I just desperately want to find someone to talk to, and once I get it out of my head I'll feel better.

In addition, Xiahou Yuan knew in his heart that Huang Zhong did not take action because of "General Huang" as he did before, but because of Guan Yu's kindness.

What is the relationship between Guan Yu and Huang Zhong?
Although no one said it, everyone knew it in their hearts that Guan Yu and Huang Zhong were as close as brothers!

where are they?
If it weren't for Cao Cao's favor, how could he have joined Huang Zhong's army so easily?
"Zi Lian, listen to me"

Xiahou Yuan was so anxious that his head ached just thinking about how to educate Cao Hong.

However, a voice came like a timely rain and rescued Xiahou Yuan.

"Xiahou Sima? I see that your personal guard is tall and strong, as strong as an ox. I think General Huang is still short of actual combat in testing Sima Gan. Why not let your personal guard test Sima Gan's level?"

Xu Shu, waving a feather fan, walked up to the two of them. Just standing there made Xiahou Yuan feel at ease.

Xiahou Yuan looked at Xu Shu and then at Huang Zhong. Huang Zhong nodded and said, "Military Advisor Xu is right. I didn't think it through."

He looked at Cao Hong again. Cao Hong's face was full of eagerness, but he still said, "I will listen to you, brother."

Since Huang Zhong nodded, Cao Hong had no objection, and with Guan Yu guarding around, Xiahou Yuan did not refuse.

As for Gan Ning
There was no reason to refuse. He really wanted to say thank you to Xu Shu, but the man in front of him was gritting his teeth at him.

He asked himself, he had never met Cao Hong and had no idea why Cao Hong was hostile to him.

The two men put on cotton armor, swiftly climbed onto their horses, and held wooden poles as long as lances in their hands.

Gan Ning sneered, "Who are you? Tell me your name."

"Cao Hong, Cao Zilian!"

"Gan Ning, Gan Xingba!"

Hearing Gan Ning's name, Cao Hong curled his lips. He was just a guy who was good at water battles. He must make Gan Ning know how powerful he was!
"just--!"

Cao Hong galloped out on his horse and charged towards Gan Ning, with a trace of disdain on his lips, and thrust out the wooden pole like a sharp lance!
However, after fighting with Gan Ning for more than ten rounds, Cao Hong's face became more and more ugly, and a bean-sized bean of sweat oozed from his forehead. Why was the person in front of him so powerful? !

Finally, Gan Ning seized the opportunity and stabbed Cao Hong in the abdomen with a spear, knocking Cao Hong off his horse!

Everything happened so fast that even Cao Hong fell to the ground before he could react.

This made Xiahou Yuan look at him with disbelief. No, Zi Lian, is this all you can do? You want to teach Gan Xingba a lesson?
Guan Yu cast a sympathetic look at Huang Zhong. Xu Shu took advantage of the time when Gan Ning and Cao Hong were competing with each other to tell Guan Yu and Huang Zhong everything about Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong.

Before this, Cao Ren seemed to have some problems, and so did Xiahou Yuan, and now Cao Hong has to deal with it.

Guan Yu thought to himself, General Huang, I am really putting you in a difficult position.
