Three Kingdoms: Peak Summons

Chapter 429 Shocking Scam, Changing the Day

Chapter 428: A shocking scam that changes the day

 After Qin Hao thought for a while, he immediately said: "I want a divine weapon card and a mount card."

“Okay, it has been sent. The host currently has a magic weapon card and a mount card.”

 Qin Hao knew that Huang Zhong probably didn't have any good equipment, so these two equipment cards were chosen for him. After all, a top general like Huang Zhong couldn't be too shabby.

 Huang Zhong was already an old man in his sixties when he appeared in the novel. However, the already old Huang Zhong fought to a draw with Guan Yu in his prime several times. One can see just how strong Huang Zhong is in his prime.

  101 points of basic force fully shows that Huang Zhong was not inferior to Lu Bu in his prime, but he just had no plan to use it.

 Huang Zhong was born in 145, and now it is the second year of Zhongping (185). The forty-year-old Huang Zhong is at his peak as a warrior. After joining Qin Hao's command, he will naturally not have no opportunities to display as in the original history.

Zhang Liang looked at this scene with a complicated face. He knew how much effort the Yellow Turban had put into trying to capture this Han general alive.

As Xiang Yu's first general, Long Qie fought with Huang Zhong for a hundred rounds but failed to win. The battle between the two finally alarmed Xiang Yu, and Xiang Yu personally took action to capture him alive.

Xiang Yu valued Huang Zhong very much, and Huang Zhong originally had a good impression of the Yellow Turban. After all, he was also a member of a poor family who had been unsuccessful for a long time.

 But Xiang Yu caused too many killings in Nanyang, and Nanyang was Huang Zhong's hometown, so he was unwilling to surrender to Xiang Yu, a butcher, no matter what.

Xiang Yu had no choice but to lock him up first and prepare to slowly persuade him to surrender.

But I don’t know what Xiang Yu was thinking, and he locked Huang Zhong next door to Qin Hao. How could Qin Hao be so polite?

During the more than half a month in prison, Qin Hao spent more than half of the time getting close to Huang Zhong, and even made a bet with Huang Zhong as a joke.

Huang Zhong, who was already in prison, didn't know that Qin Hao was plotting against him. He accidentally fell into Qin Hao's trap and lost himself to Qin Hao.

Of course, this is also the reason why Huang Zhong originally agreed with Qin Hao, otherwise even if he lost the bet, he would not be able to recognize Qin Hao as the leader.

Xiang Yu probably never expected that his momentary soft-heartedness would actually give Qin Hao a huge advantage. If he had known about it, even if he had killed Huang Zhong, Qin Hao would not have been advantaged, but it was too late to say anything now.

“Brother Huang, please take care of Young Master Ling’s illness on me. I will find famous Chinese doctors all over the world and I will definitely cure Young Master Ling’s illness.” Qin Hao said to Huang Zhong solemnly.

 Huang Zhong's only son was named Huang Xu. He had been suffering from a stubborn disease but could not be cured. Qin Hao used this to win over people's hearts. Naturally, he directly received Huang Zhong's 10,000 points of favor.

 Huang Zhong felt warm in his heart when he heard this, and immediately clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Lord."

 Qin Hao nodded, then walked up to Zhang Liang who was restrained with a playful expression, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zifang, does this count as a change of fortune now?"

Zhang Liang stared at Qin Hao and said bitterly: "You really were captured on purpose."

 “That’s right, how could I have deceived you otherwise.”

Qin Hao said with a proud look on his face that being able to deceive a wise man like Zhang Liang was a great sense of achievement for him.

After being confirmed by Qin Hao, Zhang Liang had no luck anymore, and his face suddenly became pale, and he murmured: "So Shan Xiongxin is also..." Since Shan Xiongxin captured Qin Hao alive, including Zhang Liang, No one in the Yellow Turbans had ever doubted him, and if he pretended to surrender, all previous conclusions would be overturned.

Shan Xiongxin once gave Xiang Yu a map of the Han army's troop distribution through the hands of Ji Bu. If he pretended to surrender, then the map must be fake. How many Han troops were there in Xuanyuan Pass? How many soldiers and horses are there in Xiangyang?

Xiang Yu put this pass aside precisely because he believed that there were only 20,000 defenders in Xuanyuan Pass, and Xuanyuan Pass had been surrounded by the Yellow Turban forces.

If there are a large number of troops hidden in Xuanyuan Pass, once the defenders in the pass successfully counterattack Guangcheng Pass and Yique Pass, wouldn't that cut off the Yellow Turban South Route Army's retreat?

If you want to achieve this, the number of soldiers and horses in Xuanyuan Pass will definitely not be less than 60,000. So where did the soldiers and horses in Xiangyang come from?

By the way, the defense of Wuguan is extremely complete, but did Zhu Jun really lead his troops to withdraw from Wuguan?

The more Zhang Liang thought about it, the more suspicious he felt, and he quickly asked: "Zhu Jun did not lead his troops to retreat to Wuguan at all, but just used this to mislead Xiang Yu and me. In fact, his troops and horses retreated to Xiangyang together with Lu Zhi, and the Han troops were missing." They were all hidden by you in Xuanyuan Pass, right?”

Qin Hao was amazed in his heart, seeking a saint is seeking a saint, and it will work out with just one click.

 The total number of soldiers and horses in Qin Hao's hands, including the garrison of the three passes, was 130,000, while Zhu Jun had 50,000.

Since it was expected that the Yellow Turbans would not attack Xuanyuan Pass, Qin Hao secretly hid 80,000 elite troops in Xuanyuan Pass before the fall of Yique Pass. Therefore, the main force of the Han army's 80,000 troops was actually at Xuanyuan Pass.

After Qin Hao was captured, Lu Zhi actually led 20,000 regular troops and 30,000 city defenders to fight Xiang Yu, so he gave Xiang Yu the illusion of being vulnerable.

After Lu Zhi abandoned Guan Chengguan and joined Zhu Jun, the total number of troops and horses from both sides reached one hundred thousand. Later, Zhu Jun really retreated to Wuguan, but he brought less than 10,000 troops and horses.

Zhu Jun used an army of 10,000 to pretend to be 50,000, just to fill the vacancy hidden in Xuanyuan Pass. After all, without an army of 80,000, the Yellow Turbans could not be deceived.

If you want to successfully deceive him, Lu Zhi must not have less than 100,000 soldiers and horses. Otherwise, not to mention Zhang Liang, even Xiang Yu will be able to see that there is a problem.

Lu Zhi has always used the defenders of the three passes for defense. Once the losses are too large, some strong men will be forcibly recruited to maintain the total number of the entire army at 100,000.

 It was precisely by relying on this method of "stealing the sky to change the sun" that Xiang Yu attacked Xiangyang City without being discovered. He left a time bomb in his rear area.

The main force of 80,000 Han troops in Xuanyuan Pass will not only be bombs, but also a sharp sword that will destroy the Yellow Turbans in one fell swoop.

"It's amazing, Mr. Zifang. You can deduce so much based on just this little detail. You are worthy of being a Yellow Turban think tank."

Qin Hao smiled and praised, but Zhang Liang did not show any joy at all. Instead, he had a look of shock on his face, and then shouted:

“That roundabout guy has set up such a big game, and even you, the general, don’t hesitate to use your body as a bait to cooperate. It must not only be aimed at Xiang Yu, right? What is your purpose?”

“Having said this, Mr. Zhang must be very clear about it.” Qin Hao asked with a smile.

The second update is here. This chapter has filled in a lot of previous pitfalls. Of course, it is far from over. Do you feel a little bit brain-burning? The following plot will be more exciting, I hope everyone can continue to support!
