Chapter 77 Huang Zu: Have you heard of “Huang Xu Sun Tai and the two Xiahou”?
Because Ji Hao occasionally mentioned it, a folk song has been circulating in Qingzhou: One Lu, two Zhao, three Dian Wei, four Guan, five Ma, six Zhang Fei; Huang, Xu, Sun and Tai, two Xiahou, two Zhang, Xu, Pang, Gan, Zhou and Wei; the divine spearman Zhang Xiu and Wen Yan, and the last one Deng Ai and Jiang Wei!

At first, others just thought it was Ji Hao's ranking of the contemporary military generals.

There is not much controversy.

Who would not accept what has been decided as the best in the world?

Lu Bu agreed.

But later, some people discovered that when the folk song came out, Dian Wei, who was ranked third, had not yet come to the fore, and the "Tiger Crazy" Xu Chu, who was ranked eighth, was only dug out from Yanzhou by Lu Bu after the Battle of Xuzhou.

Before this, no one even knew what "Xu" meant.

So gradually, folk songs turned into "prophecies".

There is a legend that Ji Hao used the art of Zhouyi to deduce the secrets of heaven to obtain the list of the most powerful "Twenty-Four Generals" of this era. Since he could not be counted as one of the people who deduced the secrets of heaven, he was not on the list.

It has a nose and eyes.

Especially after many corresponding people showed their strength, folk songs gradually gained recognition.

Widespread.

As a result, the princes began to look for corresponding people. For example, Jiangdong got Taishi Ci and Gan Ning, Liu Bei was recruiting Ma Chao and so on.

Of course, there are also people who don't believe it.

Yuan Shao would never admit that his beloved generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou were actually near the bottom of the list.

There are also those whose identities are unknown.

For example, among the "Two Zhangs", only one Zhang Liao is suspected to be among them, and no one is sure who the other one is.

No one knows who the seventh-ranked "Huang" refers to.

However, in Jingzhou, General Huang Zu was obviously more valued by Liu Biao, which made Ji Hao wonder: Could it be that the "folk rumor" that he accidentally spread caused Liu Biao to misunderstand something?

"My lord, I'm willing to fight!" said Zhang Xiu.

He had only recently joined the Ji camp, and as soon as he entered, he was directly appointed as the vanguard general. Although his orders were strictly enforced within the Datong Army and no one said much, many people outside said that he was a relative of the Ji camp.

He became a general by relying on the relationship with his two junior brothers.

Zhang Xiu remained silent about this.

It was not until today, when Huang Zu led an army of 80,000 to attack, that he finally saw his chance and asked for a fight to clear his name.

Hearing this, Ji Hao thought about it for a moment and agreed.

He nodded and said, "Go and kill their spirit!"

Huang Zu was actually very smart. He knew clearly that he could not be a match for Ji Hao, and that the few people he had could not be a match for the Datong Army, so he just didn't attack.

Just wait.

Wait for the civilians from Xiuzhou Great Wall to arrive, then send cavalry to harass them.

At other times, they would stay in the camp and not leave.

In this situation, it would be useless for Ji Hao or Zhao Yun to challenge the enemy, as the enemy would not respond. A direct attack was also not appropriate, as even if the territory was taken, the Jingzhou navy could attack or defend, and could also fight a war of attrition.

But the sharpness must be suppressed.

Even to shock.

then what should we do?

Ji Hao thought of Zhang Xiu.

If someone with a “very low” ranking goes to challenge Huang Zu, then Huang Zu shouldn’t be afraid, right?

"Huang Zu, you bastard. I am Zhang Xiu, the divine spearman. Do you dare to fight me?"

Arriving at the gate of the enemy camp, Zhang Xiu pointed his spear forward and challenged Huang Zu, quickly attracting him to come out. He said with a smile, "Zhang Xiu, you sneaked out to challenge me, didn't you?"

This made Zhang Xiu stunned.

"Why do you say that?"

"Have you heard of 'Huang Xu Sun Tai Liang Xia Hou'?" Huang Zu smiled and said, "The Divine Spear Zhang Xiu is indeed extraordinary, but in front of me, Huang Zu, he is not good enough - unless you sneak out, otherwise Ji Hao, who knows the 'Twenty-Four Generals', will never send you to fight!"

It turned out that not only Liu Biao regarded him as "Yellow", but he himself also thought so.

Before losing, every general thought he was very powerful.

Xing Daorong thought he could scare Zhao Yun, and Huang Zu was no exception.

As a general of Jingzhou, the most famous and highest-ranking person of the Jiangxia Huang family, he believes that he is that "Huang", the seventh best person in the world.

Of course, Ji Hao is not included in this ranking.

After fighting against ten thousand alone, Ji Hao is no longer a human being, but a god-like being.

"Then let me see how powerful you, the 'Number Seventh in the World', are!" Zhang Xiu said, and attacked with the "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear" he learned from Tong Yuan.

He also learned the essence of this set of spear techniques, but his level remained at the first level.

I haven't reached the stage of using my own unique weapon yet.

It can only be considered first-rate.

But even so, it was enough to deal with Huang Zu: after the two men fought, the first collision of weapons caused Huang Zu to turn red in the face, and it was obvious that he had suffered a great loss.

It is obvious that in terms of strength, Huang Zu is far inferior to Zhang Xiu.

Immediately afterwards, the two men rode back and rushed forward again, starting the second round.

This time, Huang Zu did not dare to fight head-on, so he changed his tactics and used clever force to attack.

But Zhang Xiu's spear was like a long snake, flickering and spitting out its sharp edge, directly giving him a flower of blood. Although it didn't hit the vitals, it still injured him seriously.

"That's it?"

Zhang Xiu, who thought Huang Zu was very powerful, immediately had a strange expression on his face.

Thinking of Ji Hao’s words before.

He suddenly realized that the "Huang" in "Huang Xu Sun Tai" did not refer to Huang Zu at all. This guy was so weak that he could not even be ranked among the "Twenty-Four Generals"!

"Today, I will kill you!"

As Zhang Xiu said this, he was about to shoot again and take Huang Zu's life.

But at this moment, an arrow flew from afar and hit the barrel of his gun, causing his hands to become numb.

Then, an old general in his forties or fifties who was about to die came running over and chopped at his neck. Zhang Xiu subconsciously put away his gun to block, but he could only barely block it.

The tremendous force made his arms numb, his knuckles cracked, and blood flowed out.

He couldn't help but be shocked.

"Who are you?"

"Huang Zhong, Huang Hansheng!"

……

In the end, Zhang Xiu fought with Huang Zhong for only fifty rounds before he could no longer hold on and fled back in defeat.

bad mood.

But thinking about Huang Zu, whose face was darker than pig liver after escaping death, he felt better. Before leaving, he laughed and said, "Huang, Xu, Sun, Tai and the other Xiahou. Haha, this Huang is not that Huang!"

In an instant, Huang Zu's face turned even darker.

But after returning to the camp, Zhang Xiu could no longer laugh. He half-knelt and said, "I am incompetent!"

"No, that's not your fault. Even if Zilong goes, he can't defeat Huang Zhong easily!" Ji Hao shook his head.

Of course Zhang Xiu couldn't defeat Huang Zhong.

The ranking of the jingle is based on actual performance, with Huang Zhong in his later years as the standard. Otherwise, he might not be able to beat Lu Bu and Zhao Yun, but he would have squeezed Dian Wei out.

It is said that "brandishing a sword in front of Guan Gong" is seeking death, but Huang Zhong did it and did not die.

The current Huang Zhong is not in his prime, but he is not as old as when he first appeared. He is almost ten years older - ten years younger, his strength is abnormal.

And Zhang Xiu is not a top-notch expert.

The difference is obvious.

"My lord, I have a plan to defeat Huang Zhong!" Guo Jia suddenly spoke up, "I'm even very confident that I can bring him to our Ji Camp to serve you, my lord!"

　I'm still feeling dizzy today, so I can only post two updates.

　　Alas, I have been harmed by wine and women and have become so short. I will quit drinking!
