Small Landlords of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 161 196. The Black Hand Behind It

Wang Hao: "What is your opinion on this matter, Zhicai?"

Xi Zhicai: "This subordinate doesn't understand either, but there is one thing that my subordinate is very clear about."

Wang Hao: "What's the matter?"

Xi Zhicai: "According to Zhang Wenyuan's character, he would never do such a rebellious thing. There must be some reason for it."

Wang Hao: "Then what is the reason?"

Xi Zhicai: "Subordinates with shallow knowledge can make people change their personality, as if they have changed into a different person. This is neither like poisoning nor..."

Wang Hao: "Wait, what did you just say..."

Xu Shu didn't understand, but Wang Hao suddenly realized that the poison of this era is not enough to change people's personality drastically, but there is one thing that is more powerful than poison.

"Zhicai, pass my warrant to Yuanzhi to tie up Zhang Wenyuan and send him back. I've probably already guessed who is behind the scenes."

After thinking about it, Wang Hao finally had some clues. After Zhang Liao came back, everything would become clear. I hope it is not what Wang Hao thought, otherwise something big might happen this time.

Xi Zhicai didn't understand why Wang Hao tied Zhang Liao back, and Xi Zhicai knew that Wang Hao would not hurt Zhang Liao.

What happened, only Wang Hao knew. Since Wang Hao didn't say anything, Xi Zhicai wouldn't bother to ask. As a courtier, you just need to do your part.

Wang Hao followed Tai Shici from Zhu Yalang to Mount Putuo in Wu County to preside over the war. Huang Zu and Wei Yan landed in Qing and Xu prefectures. In the middle of Shu, Liu Bei invaded Jingzhou again.

Fighting on the east and west fronts, Wang Hao has been putting heavy troops into the northeast battlefield. For Liu Bei in the southwest, Wang Hao maintains defensive tactics.

However, Liu Bei refused to let Wang Hao go as he wished. This time when he sent troops from the middle of Shu, Liu Bei put all his wealth on him, and a 10,000+ army marched out of the pass.

Wuling County asked for help many times, Nanjun and Baoyang County were in a hurry, and even Nanyang County was facing it, and Cao Ren's army went south to attack.

On the first day Zhang Liao was sent back, Lu Qiling became even more irritable, and repeatedly ran to the compound, trying to kill Cao Zhi.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Xu Shu asked Wei Yan and Wenpin to guard the compound in turn, which prevented Lu Qiling from succeeding. In the next few days, Lu Qiling became more and more manic, Zhao Yun had to accompany Lu Qiling, and left Qingzhou to return to Lujiang County.

After Lu Qiling and Zhao Yun left, Huang Zu suddenly disappeared, and together with Huang Zu, there were more than 5000 soldiers and horses in Qubu.

Cao Cao learned that his son was captured alive by Wang Hao, so Chen Yu went south with Liu Xie's edict, and Xia Hou'an was responsible for sending Chen Yu to each other. After the group left Xuchang, no news came, as if they disappeared out of thin air.

Cao Cao thought that Wang Hao was determined not to release them, so he imprisoned Chen Yu and others, but repeatedly urged them to no avail. Cao Pi and Cao Ren's uncle and nephew led the Wei army to send troops from Sili. Nanyang and other places.

Huang Zhong: "Cao Zixiao, when General Zhang Liao was stationed in Nanyang County, you would rather be a coward than fight General Zhang.

Today, I, Huang Zhong, am stationed in Nanyang County, but you lead an army to invade. Do you think that my, Huang Zhong's wings are rusty? "

The white-haired Huang Zhong stood on the top of the wall and shouted to Cao Ren and the Xiahou clan outside the city. Cao Ren's vanguard army numbered more than [-], not to mention the Chinese army. It seemed that Cao Wei had come for real this time.

Cao Ren: "Old man Huang, wash your neck and wait. When the army of my family's heirs arrives, I, Cao Renbi, will use this knife to decapitate your neck."

Huang Zhong: "It's a joke, I have spent dozens of years on the battlefield all my life, and countless people have died by my sword. You Cao Ren is just a tortoise with a locked head, and you dare to speak wild words!"

Cao Ren: "Really, there is a kind who goes out of the city and fights with me for [-] rounds. Let me see if Huang Zhong in Nanyang is as true as the rumors are, and he is still a man of false fame!"

Huang Zhong: "Cao Ren, you underestimate the old man too much. You dare to show your shame with mere aggressive generals. It seems that you are not doing well in Cao Wei. You don't even have a marching army division!"

Cao Ren: "Hmph, no matter how bad this general is, he's better than an old man like you. Your nephew was imprisoned, but you didn't even dare to say a word. Could it be that you belong to..."

Huang Zhong: "The three armies listened to the order and opened the gates of the city to meet the enemy. I will not give up if I don't kill Cao Ren today."

Cao Ren's aggressive method was successful, and Huang Zhen's matter was a thorn in the Huang family's side, even though Wang Hao had already explained it to the Huang family.

But the news about the Huang family has spread all over the world, and who doesn't know about it? Those who don't know the reason will think that Wang Hao is afraid of the Huang family's great achievements.

Huang Zhong also has Wuri cavalry under his command, and the crossbow and armor have all been upgraded. Jingzhou has excellent equipment and morale, and it is not a bad idea to fight. As long as Huang Zhong can speed me up, even if I lose to Cao Ren, I can retreat completely.

As the sun sets, the city gate of Nanyang County opens slowly. The first to go out of the city is the sword and shield hand holding the torch, and the heavy crossbow and crossbowman on the tower are responsible for the cover.

Xia Houchun: "Zixiao, what do you think that is?"

Cao Ren: "It looks like a war horse or a war lion. I don't know what kind of beast it is."

Xiahou Dun: "As night falls, old man Huang Zhong could have resisted the city and defended it, but he chose to go out of the city to fight. There may be some fraud involved!"

The last Wuri cavalry came out of the city and stopped behind the crossbowmen on the two wings. The Xiahou family was puzzled. How could it be wrong?
Huang Zhong: "Cao Zixiao came out to die!"

Cao Ren: "The old man is going crazy!"

Huang Zhong galloped out with wild geese wings on his back, Cao Ren was not afraid at all, he slapped the horse's stock and rushed like Huang Zhong.

Outside Nanyang City, Cao Jun was dressed in yellow cowhide light armor, while the Jingzhou Army uniformed black crocodile light armor.

On a hill not far from Nanyang County, a group of men in black looked at the battlefield from a distance. The leader waved his hand, and the men in black behind him ran down the mountain quickly with sacks on their backs.

However, Huang Zhong and Cao Ren outside Nanyang City did not notice at all that their every move was under the surveillance of certain people.

Not only did the Nanyang County battlefield break out, but even Dian Wei, who blocked the Shu army, also encountered difficulties.

Dian Wei: "What can we do, these barbarians use such despicable means, damn Liu Bei, damn Fa Xiaozhi!"

Dian Wei led the army to block the attack. Who knew that the leader of the Shu army this time was not Zhang Fei or Guan Yu, but a barbarian from the Nanman tribe.

As soon as Wu Tugu came out on the stage, he resorted to the poisonous snake trick. The soldiers under Dian Wei's command dared not sleep at night, fearing that they would be bitten to death by snakes and insects if they were not careful.

Dian Wei retreated back to the city and did not fight, but Fazheng even asked the crossbowmen to take advantage of the nightfall to tie poisonous snakes to fast arrows and shoot them into the city.
