Chapter 99: Liu Bei is tricked
"I am still dreaming, I must still be dreaming, I haven't woken up yet!" Yuan Shao shook his head, as if he had turned into Cao Cao at this moment, waving his hands and saying: "I am really daydreaming, how could they be killed suddenly? Impossible, absolutely impossible! My two beloved generals are invincible in the world, no one in this world can kill them!"

It was outrageous that the two beloved generals of Zongheng Wudi were suddenly killed.

It is even more outrageous to dream about reality while sleeping.

Yuan Shao naturally wouldn't believe it.

But this is the fact. Although there are no real ghosts and gods in the Three Kingdoms, there are many mysterious things. Guan Yu was able to appear after his death and travel thousands of miles to bid farewell to Liu Bei. It is also normal for Yuan Shao to dream of Yan Liang and Wen Chou at night.

But he himself could never accept it.

"My lord, please calm down. The most important thing right now is to stabilize the morale of the army!" Xu You advised.

It was not until then that Yuan Shao realized that he would not wake up at all.

This is not a dream.

His beloved generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou were really dead!
"I do not believe!"

Heartbroken, Yuan Shao vomited blood and passed out.

After a long time, he slowly woke up, looked at the civil officials and military officers around him, and said with a sigh: "Everyone, I just had a nightmare. I dreamed that my favorite generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou were beheaded. Do you think it's funny?"

After saying that, he laughed to himself, trying to liven up the atmosphere.

But unfortunately, no one could laugh.

"My lord, Generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou are really in trouble!"

……

Many times, things turn around so quickly that it is beyond the expectations of everyone in the world: Yuan Shao, who led a million troops to besiege Luoyang, lost two generals overnight.

Not only that, after the two generals died, they were carried back to the camp by horses.

A headless corpse and a corpse with an arrow shot in from the back and out from the chest.

On horseback.

The shock was so great that Yuan Shao's million-strong army seemed to have fallen from heaven into hell for a moment, and they were filled with fear and even trepidation.

The deaths of the two were so tragic!
On the other hand, the morale of the coalition forces was greatly boosted, especially the troops led by Huang Zhong. Wei Yan was so happy that he almost jumped up and shouted, "It's so great, so great!"

Although Huang Zhong had been promoted to a regular officer in the battle against Sun Jian, he ultimately took advantage of the "blasting" ability.

There have always been voices within the organization that attributed the credit to Yu Ji, because the special kerosene he used was invented by Yu Ji.

Some people also believe that it was Ji Hao's "Flour Thunder" that defeated Sun Jian.

In addition, Huang Zhong wanted to act and did not kill Sun Jian himself, which has always been controversial.

But now there is no dispute. The killing of Yan Liang and Wen Chou has cleared Huang Zhong's reputation. The arrow shot in the back of Wen Chou had no effect at all. Instead, people praised Huang Zhong for his superb archery skills.

Because not everyone can kill a top warrior by shooting an arrow from behind.

The armor on Wen Chou's body could not be broken even if ordinary soldiers used swords to chop at him!

Huang Zhong used the Nine-Stone Bow!
"At over fifty years old, he can still use a nine-stone bow and kill a first-class warrior. Huang Zhong must have been a peerless warrior when he was young, no less powerful than Zhao Yun and Lu Bu!" Wen Pin said with emotion after hearing the news: "The reason why he is not ranked high is because he is old and weak, and he fell down. The ranking of the twenty-four generals is calculated according to the present!"

Speaking of this, he also felt a little emotional.

It is such a pity that I lived in the same place with such a peerless person but we didn't know each other before.

However, his sighs did not sound so pleasant to Liu Biao's ears.

After it was revealed that Huang Zhong was not Ji Hao's subordinate, his behavior became a laughing stock. It was extremely foolish to use his subordinates to threaten the enemy.

Ji Hao was also considered to be making huge profit.

Although a million shi of food and fodder is a lot, it is not as important as a top-notch general.

It is not just a saying that it is easy to get thousands of soldiers but difficult to get a good general.

Not to mention, he spent a fortune to buy horse bones and earned a good reputation. However, in the past, he only thought that Huang Zhong was an ordinary top-level general who had passed his prime and was over 50 years old. Although he was sad and annoyed, he could comfort himself.

I comfort myself that the ranking of the twenty-four generals is based on their peak period, and the elderly Huang Zhong is not that useful.

However, the battle in Luoyang shattered his self-comfort.

Behead Yan Liang and execute Wen Chou.

Two world-famous top generals were chopped off by him overnight... No, he didn't chopped them off, he just killed them. After their death, the two men did not fall down and returned to the camp to rest in peace, which was also a good story.

But the fact that Huang Zhong killed two people by himself still shocked the world and made people stunned.

I’m over fifty!
Throughout history, there are very few who can live to this age, and those who can still fight at this age are even rarer.

Even the old and strong Lian Po was no more than this.

"Who cooked the food today? It has no taste at all. Kick him out and replace him with a new chef!" Liu Biao was in a bad mood and said angrily.

But immediately, he stalled.

I thought of Xing Daorong.

"At least, I still have General Lingling!"

……

On the other hand, Xing Daorong, Liu Biao's favorite general who made him happy, had already led his troops back to Chang'an and was bragging.

"Alas, I was careless this time. I only severely injured Yan Liang and Wen Chou, but because of the arrows in their arms, I didn't kill them, and that old Huang Zhong took advantage of it!"

Xing Daorong was wearing a bandage, but it didn't affect his bragging at all.

He described his defeat and surrender as "charging into the enemy camp alone", and his hand being broken by Yan Liang's kick was described in his words as being careless and not dodging, and accidentally being hit by an arrow.

He even said that he had caused internal injuries to Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

Only then did he let Huang Zhong kill them.

It has a nose and eyes.

It’s true that it’s hard to tell the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang apart.

Mainly because of Huang Zhong.

"It is difficult for an old veteran in his fifties or almost sixty to kill Yan Liang and Wen Chou, so Huang Zhong must have really gotten away with it!" Guan Yu said.

He was proud and conceited, thinking that no one could be better than him in wielding a broadsword.

He believed that if Ji Hao did not possess divine power, he might not be his opponent.

Therefore, I don’t think Huang Zhong can do it.

After all, he couldn't do it himself, let alone do it at the age of fifty!

Hearing this, Zhang Fei's eyes flickered, but he didn't say much.

He is a man of rough but meticulous character, and always feels that he and others seem to have overlooked something, but he can't figure out what it is.

Liu Bei, under the circumstances of preconceived ideas, also lost his judgment and believed Xing Daorong's lies. He also comforted him by saying: "No one can guarantee that they will be safe from a barrage of arrows. Don't be discouraged, General. When there is a chance in the future, I will make you a set of magic armor, and then you won't be afraid of hidden arrows!"

In response, Xing Daorong remained silent and did not say anything.

He now knows his own weight. Although the divine armor is good, it weighs one or two hundred kilograms and most people cannot wear it!
But Liu Bei didn't think much about it.

Instead, he said, "My beloved general has been killed, and the army is in chaos. Yuan Shao is likely to be defeated. I can't let Ji Hao take all the credit. I am now preparing to lead 100,000 troops to fight. Yide, you and General Xing will guard Chang'an together and wait for me to come back!"

After saying that, he took Guan Yu to Luoyang.

Meanwhile, Yuan Shao also said to Zhang He: "My beloved general has been killed, but the troops are still there. Unless Liu Bei comes to join us, he will never be able to defeat me. You lead 100,000 troops back and bypass Bingzhou. Once Liu Bei sends out his troops, you must attack and capture Chang'an for me!"
