Summoning of God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 339 A sneak attack on Yuan Shaozhi's fiefdom

At dusk, street fighting fought all day in Hulao Pass, and the Jizhou Army lost nearly [-] elite soldiers.

Wang Shuang also lost 800 people. This is because he joined the battlefield after him, so the loss is not high.

Panting heavily, Huang Zhong asked his soldiers to tie up Gao Lan.

Both Wang Shuang and Lu Yi were exhausted, and their physical strength was exhausted by the long battle.

Wang Shuang walked up to Huang Zhong, waved to him, and said, "General Huang, my lord asked me to support you. The letter allows you to use the Thousand Machine Crossbow."

"General Lu just said that General Huang, you used it in advance and violated the military order. Now you don't have to worry about it."

Wang Shuang respected Huang Zhong very much, and it was all because of Huang Zhong's martial arts.

After hearing Wang Shuang's words, Huang Zhong nodded lightly, but said: "General Wang's kindness, I accept it wholeheartedly. It's just an indisputable fact that this old man violated the military order. I will personally go to my lord to plead guilty."

"As for Gao Lan, please take care of General Wang and let the lord personally release him."

Wang Shuang was in awe, he wanted Huang Zhong to bow and salute, and then leave to settle his part.

At noon the next day, Huang Zhong and Wang Shuang hurriedly marched all morning, and successfully arrived at the Lord's camp in Jizhou.

Han Wu has already made plans to retreat, because there is not enough time for him to take down Hongnong before Xia Houyuan.

Although it was not a complete victory, Han Wu believed that at least in this battle, he defeated Hanoi County and the Guanzhong Plain in the Sili area.

In the large tent of the Chinese army, Huang Zhong knelt down on one knee, and said righteously: "The last general Huang Zhong used the thousand-machine crossbow privately and violated the military order, and I ask the lord to punish him!"

Wang Shuang had been waiting for General Huang to plead guilty for a long time, and he immediately shouted: "My lord, after receiving the general's order, the last general led his troops to Hulao Pass. General Huang happened to break through the city."

"Hulao Pass was taken by General Huang Zhong alone, and the traitor Gao Lan was captured, which opened up a way for our army to return to Jizhou. This is General Huang's great contribution!"

Han Wu found it interesting to hear that one pleaded guilty and the other pleaded.

Huang Zhong is a fierce general who is loyal to himself, so Han Wu naturally cannot punish him severely.

But violating military orders is violating military orders, and the merits and demerits must not be offset, and the military law is abolished.

Han Wu narrowed his eyes, thought for a while, and said, "Huang Zhong, since you're convicted, I'll go and receive a fine of [-] military sticks, and punish you for using a thousand-machine crossbow without permission. Lu Zhishen, take the bloodthirsty tiger guards with you. Execution, Kuai Yue will go to prison."

When all the soldiers heard that the lord was going to punish General Huang Zhong with forty military sticks, their hearts trembled.

Perhaps these forty army sticks are nothing to a man like Dian Wei Lu Zhishen, but Huang Zhong is entering old age after all, so he may not be able to bear it.

But now no one dares to speak to the lord, because smart people know that the lord will not really fight General Huang.

As for the soldiers whose brains reacted slower, they did not dare to intercede when they saw the veterans who had made great contributions, so they naturally kept silent.

When Han Wu saw that the other soldiers bowed their heads, he thought to himself: "That's right. It seems that these soldiers are already in awe of military law, and my majesty has gradually increased."

"Where there is punishment, there must be reward. Think about what should be rewarded to Huang Zhong?"

Han Wu thought for a while, and continued: "Huang Zhong made great achievements in breaking the Hulao Pass, and captured Gao Lan to make great achievements. Reward Huang Zhong with [-] households in the city, and add General Jianwu."

With both kindness and power, Han Wu took it to the best, which made other soldiers envious.

There are three hundred households in the fiefdom, and this is the first time the lord has conferred feudalism on a meritorious minister!
The other soldiers have meritorious service, although they have received a lot of rewards, but that is all money that can be spent.

Three hundred households in the feudal city, although it seems that they are not as good as the hundred taels of gold and the three pieces of Shu brocade, they are a constant source of income other than military pay!

But for Huang Zhong, although he is grateful for the Lord's reward, money is no longer his top priority.

For Huang Zhong, after his son died, he no longer had much interest in money.

After thinking about this for a moment, Han Wu nodded affectionately, and thought of something else.

"Go down and receive the punishment! The other officers and men are performing their duties, and we are ready to leave the camp in three days. Let's withdraw to Jizhou. General Chen Qingzhi will continue to be stationed in the Guanzhong area, try his best to take Wuguan and Sishuiguan, and stabilize the situation in the Sili Guanzhong area."

After finishing speaking, Han Wu waved his hand to make all the soldiers retreat.

"Evil, I remember that your eldest son Dianman was sent to Jizhou Academy by you to study, and you gave birth to a second son last year, right?"

Han Wu narrowed his eyes and asked Dian Wei.

According to history, Dianwei actually only had one son, Dianman, but that was because he died early to save Cao Cao.

Now that the time of Dianwei's death in battle has passed, the wheel of history has also undergone some changes.

Dian Wei gave birth to his second son, Dian Yong, and a daughter last year.

Dian Wei smiled foolishly, and said: "My lord, my old Dian has indeed given birth to another son, unexpectedly the lord knows about it."

There was no one else around, and Han Wu didn't care too much about his majesty.

Han Wu also smiled and said: "Come on, what do you think of Huang Zhong?"

Hearing the lord asking about his opinion on Huang Zhong, Dian Wei immediately restrained his smile and became serious.

"Returning to my lord, General Huang's martial arts are very high. If he is in his prime, he will be far above me. I respect him. General Huang is not afraid of military law, but must grasp the opportunity of battle. He can take the initiative to plead guilty to the lord afterwards. He is loyal to the king. General Huang is very strong in leading troops in battle and understands military strategy, and my old Dian is far inferior to him."

Seeing that Dian Wei respected Huang Zhong so much, Han Wu was also very satisfied.

Smiling slightly, Han Wu said: "It's evil, General Huang lost his son when he was young, and now he is old and childless. It's a pity and it's very sympathetic."

"You already have a son, why don't you give the second son to General Huang as an adopted son. Dianman can pass on your family to you, and the second son is just a different surname, but it is still your own son. But if General Huang can have a Son, you know how happy he would be."

After Dian Wei heard what the lord said, he laughed without any hesitation!

"Hahaha, my lord is right to lose! I, Lao Dian, are still in good health, and I want my son to be born as soon as he returns! But General Huang is different, he is already old."

"My lord, I will discuss this matter with General Huang after I go back. When my son can speak at the age of three or four, I will give him to General Huang as his adopted son!"

When Han Wu heard that Dian Wei could agree, he nodded in satisfaction.

Huang Zhong lacks the fortitude of young people, Han Wu must find a way to re-establish a fearless spirit and a concern in him.

In the city of Hongnong County, Xia Houyuan sat in the seat that originally belonged to Yuan Shao, looking at Xu You and Yuan Shang with a smile.

Although he was showing off his might, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

Xu You was a classmate and friend of Cao Cao, and Xia Houyuan knew about it.

"General Xiahou, Han Wu's Jizhou army is about to conquer Wuguan, let's evacuate as soon as possible."

"Meng De should also miss me and Benchu ​​very much. Why don't you raise an army here now, and return to Sichuan."

After Xia Houyuan heard Xu You's words, he narrowed his eyes and looked at this person.

"Hey! Since Mr. Xu has said so, then I will go to prepare. We can't march in a hurry this time. Since Yuan Shao is unconscious, let him lie down! Find a carriage for him to rest. It is best to go to Chengdu Don't wake up before."

"Otherwise, this guy wants to die, I can't afford it!"

Xia Houyuan narrowed his eyes, obviously warning Xu You that if Yuan Shao died, they would not feel better.
