Chapter 80 You captured your own generals and asked the enemy to pay to redeem them?

"It's a bad thing. They have ambushes in the water and they pierced our ship!" Wei Yan said with eyes wide open.

Unlike the cement ships in the early twentieth century and the iron ships that came later, wooden ships will not sink to the bottom of the water immediately after being pierced, but will continue to sink.

Eventually, water will fill the cabin and the boat will still float.

Unless it is carrying very heavy cargo, it will generally not sink but capsize.

In ancient times, when a ship capsized, it was actually equivalent to a shipwreck.

The only difference is the load.

"Retreat, retreat immediately!" Huang Zhong instantly realized that he had committed the taboo of being greedy for merit and reckless, and hurriedly ordered a withdrawal. However, when he returned to the shore, he found that Taishi Ci and others, who had been defeated, had already led their troops to wait on the shore for a long time.

Huang Gai's retreating army also turned back at this time and began to attack.

For a moment, Huang Zhong's army was not only about to capsize, but even their retreat was blocked by the enemy. They were attacked from both sides.

"What should we do?" Wei Yan also panicked when he saw this.

It’s not that he and Huang Zhong are not good enough, but that Jiangdong’s lineup is really luxurious, with a group of top generals, plus Zhou Yu’s advice and Huang Gai’s obedience.

The strength is not on the same level.

In Huang Zhong's opinion, it was Wei Yan's surprise attack that defeated the enemy, which led to Huang Gai's escape on the boat. Who would have thought that the enemy was faking defeat by taking advantage of the situation?

Wei Yan did not expect that the other party would be so cunning.

"They want to kill me? But it won't be that easy!" Huang Zhong was annoyed, but he appeared calm and asked the soldiers to drive the boats close together.

Even if the army was about to capsize due to water leakage, they were able to support each other by standing side by side and prevent the army from falling into the water.

Still returned to the shore.

"rush!"

Huang Zhong shouted loudly and rushed forward towards the arrows.

Wei Yan followed closely behind and led his troops to charge.

They used a long snake formation to maneuver and change from defense to offense, giving Taishi Ci and others on the shore a heavy blow.

Naturally, Taishi Ci and his men wanted to intercept them.

But after the fight, they found that Huang Zhong's army obeyed orders and did not disrupt their formation even when faced with heavy enemy encirclement, and they could not be stopped at all.

Not only that, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan joined forces and were always successful in charging into battle.

Soon they broke out of the encirclement.

"I never thought that my painstakingly planned 'ship-drilling plan' would be broken by his 'side-by-side boats'. We lost this round!" Zhou Yu sighed and gave up the pursuit.

On the surface, this battle was a fight between Huang Gai and Huang Zhong, and was about the rectification of the name "Huang", but in fact, it was a game between Guo Jia and Zhou Yu.

Guo Jia wants to use Jiangdong to subdue Huang Zhong, while Zhou Yu wants to destroy his plan.

"Accurately killed" Huang Zhong.

But unfortunately, the intelligence they received was not equal, and his impression of Huang Zhong was only that of one of the "top twenty-four generals". He only knew of Huang Zhong's bravery, but did not know that he was both brave and resourceful, and was not just a general.

But handsome talent.

"What a pity that such a powerful general is about to become Ji Hao's subordinate!" Zhou Yu sighed again.

On the other side, after Huang Zhong was defeated, he fled back with the remnants of his troops.

At first, Liu Biao did not ask for punishment.

Victory and defeat are common in the military. Unless a military order is issued before the war, if people are killed because of a defeat, there will be no military generals in this world.

Who dares to go to the battlefield?

However, Huang Zhong was defeated by Huang Gai, which left a thorn in Liu Biao's heart.

It made him wonder who the real "Huang" was.

At this time, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun suddenly intercepted a piece of information from "Mr. Datong", that is, Huang Zhong was actually Mr. Datong sent by Ji Hao to Jingzhou. Ji Hao had made a plan to support Huang Zhong to become a general first, and then get rid of other generals in Jingzhou.

He took control of the military power in Jingzhou and then plotted against Liu Biao.

Take Jingzhou without bloodshed.

"This matter is of great importance. Do you have any evidence?" Liu Biao said with a gloomy face.

"In addition to the intercepted intelligence, we also investigated!" Cai Mao said: "A few days ago, Huang Zhong spent a lot of money to ask someone to go to Qingzhou to buy medicine for his son's treatment. Originally, they didn't sell it. But suddenly, for some reason, they changed their attitude and gave him the medicine for free."

After that, he took out the evidence from his investigation.

There is a confession from the person entrusted by Huang Zhong.

There are also Qingzhou's control regulations for various drugs, as well as the medical benefits for people within the "Datong Society" - to sum up, the other party did not know Huang Zhong's identity at the beginning and refused to sell medicine.

Then after learning my identity, I was immediately given free medicine.

Because Mr. Datong’s benefit is that the whole family can see a doctor for free!

"So, Huang Zhong is not the 'Huang' in 'Huang Xu Sun Tai Liang Xia Hou'?" Liu Biao gritted his teeth and said, "I was wondering why he has been unknown for so many years and now he is suddenly so powerful. Why did he have to go up the mountain to collect herbs for his son? It turns out that he went to contact Datong Society. Good, very good!"

After saying that, he gave an order and sent people to search Huang Zhong's house.

The whole family was arrested and awaiting punishment.

Huang Zhong was confused about this and had no idea what was going on.

When did I become Mr. Datong?
But he still had hope for Liu Biao, and said to the jailer in prison: "The clear will be clear, and the turbid will be turbid. The lord will judge right and wrong. I, Huang Zhong, will be out soon!"

I haven't done it before, so of course I'm not nervous.

This is Huang Zhong’s idea.

But sometimes, if you really didn’t do it, are you completely innocent?

The medication in Qingzhou is real.

In order to attack him, Cai Mao and others tried their best to throw dirty water on him, and all kinds of "ironclad evidence" were found. Finally, Liu Biao no longer had any doubts and directly sentenced him to "beheading in the autumn".

Huang Zhong was stunned on the spot.

"I want to see the lord!"

But unfortunately, he wanted to see Liu Biao, but Liu Biao didn't want to see him because he had already decided in his heart that he was "Mr. Datong".

At this time, the real "Mr. Datong" gave money to Cai Mao and asked him to help rescue Huang Zhong. As for the rescue method, it was Cai Mao who made suggestions to Liu Biao.

Instead of killing Huang Zhong directly, he used him as a threat to negotiate with Yuzhou.

Cai Mao, who was greedy for money, did not refuse and said to Liu Biao: "Brother-in-law, we killed Huang Zhong with one blow, which was too easy for him. Why not ask for a high price and let Ji Hao pay a million dan of grain and grass to redeem him!"

After hearing this, Liu Biao was immediately confused.

"Are you crazy?"

A million dan of grain and grass are enough for hundreds of thousands of troops to fight a war around the Han Dynasty!
Let alone Huang Zhong, even if Zhao Yun and Cao Cao were captured, it is not certain whether the other party would be willing to pay such a huge price to redeem them!

"No." Cai Mao said: "If they give it to us, we will make a lot of money. If they don't give it to us, we can also say that Ji Hao doesn't value Mr. Datong, and the so-called 'Datong in the world' is a lie, and use this to damage Ji Hao's reputation!"

At this point, he was also somewhat confused.

Do those Datong gentlemen want to rescue Huang Zhong or kill him?
This suggestion was given by them!
"A blow to the reputation of Datong Society?" Liu Biao's eyes lit up and he nodded immediately, saying, "Issue a notice now and ask Ji Hao to bring food and grass to redeem the people!"

……

When Huang Zhong in prison received the news, the last bit of hope he had for Liu Biao was gone.

Even, he couldn't help but ask about Liu Biao's eight generations of ancestors: "Damn it, how could I be so blind as to turn to such a fool?"

You captured your own generals and asked the enemy to pay to redeem them?

So damn wise!
