Chapter 1204 Subduing Huang Zhong
Cao Shu asked about Huang Zhong’s position, and Huang Zhong said with shame: “I am just the deputy general of the prefect Han Xuan in Jingzhou.”
"With General Huang's ability, it's a pity to be a deputy general." Cao Shuo said: "From now on, you can lead troops to war. As long as you have achievements, it's not a problem to be a general."
Huang Zhong didn't say anything, but a hint of strangeness appeared on his face.
Cao Shu asked, "Does General Huang have any hidden secrets?"
"No..." Huang Zhong said: "Young Master values me, and I will definitely do my best."
"Who else is there in the general's family?" Cao Shu asked again.
"There is no one else, there is only one son." Huang Zhong replied.
"The son of the general's family should also be a handsome talent." Cao Shuo said: "I wonder how his martial arts are?"
"The dog has been sick since childhood." When talking about his son, Huang Zhong looked even more lonely: "The deceased wife died early, and she only left me with such a son, but she was also a patient. For so many years, I have been looking for medical treatment for him, but it has never improved."
"What disease did the young master suffer?" Cao Shuo asked with concern.
"I just don't know what disease is going on," said Huang Zhong. "I have looked for many famous doctors, but none of them can tell what's wrong with the dog. Now I can only use medicine to hang his life. Maybe one day, I will send a white-haired person to a black-haired person."
"I dare to ask how old Mr. Ling is?" Cao Shu asked again.
"It's already thirty-two this year." Huang Zhong sighed: "If you are a good person, you should be able to lead troops to fight..."
"General Huang doesn't have to be sad. There is a famous doctor in Shouchun. Maybe you can see what kind of disease Ling Gongzi got." Cao Shuo said: "When we return to Shouchun, I will ask him to treat Ling Gongzi."
Huang Zhong's eyes lit up and he quickly asked Cao Shuo: "Young Master, who is this famous doctor in Shouchun?"
"Zhang Zhongjing, have you heard of it?" Cao Shu asked.
When Huang Zhongjing's name was mentioned, he opened his mouth slightly for a long time but couldn't close it.
When he came to his senses, he said to Cao Shu: "I had also gone to find Mr. Zhang at the beginning, but I still didn't know where he was. I didn't expect to be in Shouchun."
"He was not in Shouchun at first." Cao Shu said: "I sent someone to invite him. If Mr. Zhang cannot treat Mr. Ling, General Huang, don't worry. I will ask Xu Du to invite Mr. Hua Tuo to Shouchun. In any case, we cannot give up easily."
Cao Shu said before that Huang Zhong was a priceless treasure for him.
When he heard those words, although Huang Zhong felt a little moved in his heart, he was definitely not as excited as he was at this time.
Turning over and dismounting, Huang Zhong quickly walked to Cao Shuo.
He knelt down with his fists and said to Cao Shuo: "Huang Zhong has never forgotten the kindness of the young master's father and son. From now on, I will do whatever the young master wants me to do."
Huang Zhong knelt in front of him, Cao Shu got off the horse and helped him up: "General Huang doesn't have to do this. Since we have followed me, we will be a family from now on. If the general's family needs, just tell me, I will definitely help if I can help. If I can't, I will try my best to help from other channels."
"I have been a general in Jingzhou for many years, and no one really takes me in my eyes." When he spoke, Huang Zhong's eyes turned red: "I didn't expect that when I was old, I could still meet the young master..."
"General Huang is in his prime, how can he say he is old?" Cao Shu smiled and said, "Liang Po is still 80 years old and is still eclipsing rice. General Huang is only fifty years old now, which is a good time to make achievements."
"With this young master's words, Huang Zhong will die without regrets!" He picked up his fists again, and Huang Zhong gave a big gift to Cao Shu.
"Shuzhi." Cao Shu ordered Chen Dao behind him: "Go back to the barracks to select a hundred strong soldiers and follow the Xiangyang sent people to Changsha. Be sure to ensure that Mr. Huang is thorough. Then select a doctor who is proficient in medical science from the army and take care of him along the way."
"I've written it down!" Chen Dao replied.
Cao Shu could even think of such details. Huang Zhong was even more moved. He had already made up his mind to follow Cao Shu from then on.
After getting back on the horse, Huang Zhong asked Cao Shu: "Young Master, do you really want Liu Xuande's head?"
"Of course I want to." Cao Shuo said: "If I get his head, I will have less trouble in the future."
"I'm willing to go to attack Xinye." Huang Zhong said: "If you work hard for the young master, you can't make a fortune..."
"General Huang, don't be anxious." Cao Shuo smiled and said, "Liu Xuande is in Xinye, and he has been prepared to deal with our army. Not to mention the general, even if I go in person, it is impossible to conquer Xinye City in the short term. I understand the general's desire to make contributions, but now is not the time."
Cao Shu didn't plan to attack Xinye, and a hint of loss appeared on Huang Zhong's face.
He patted his arm gently, and Cao Shu smiled and said, "General, don't be impatient. There are more opportunities to make achievements in the future. When we return to Shouchun, my father should order a confrontation with Hebei. At that time, General Huang is still afraid that there will be no war?"
"What the young master said is that I was abrupt." Huang Zhong responded.
When Cao Shu and Liu Biao discussed withdrawing the troops and put forward a series of conditions, Liu Bei was preparing for the city defense in Xinye City.
On the top of the city, all the soldiers under Liu Bei stared at the outside of the city with nervous expressions.
They had been waiting for a few days, but they had not seen Cao's army arrive for a long time.
Standing at the top of the city and looking into the distance, Liu Bei said, "Cao Zirong wishes I could die immediately, but since he has come to Jingzhou, why is he reluctant to attack Xiangyang?"
"I think Cao Zirong will attack Xiangyang?" Zhuge Liang asked from the side.
"If you don't attack Xiangyang, what will he do in Jingzhou?" Liu Bei asked in surprise.
"Come for the envoy." Zhuge Liang said: "Xinye is ready to fight. Cao Zirong also knows that if he attacks Xiangyang or Xinye, he will be dragged here for several months. Several months are simply unbearable for the Cao family today. After all, what they need to solve the most is Hebei."
"So, I can't fight?" Liu Bei asked.
"It's impossible to fight, but the envoy must be wary of Liu Jingsheng." Zhuge Liang said: "Previously, Liu Jingsheng sent someone to ask for help and was rejected by the envoy. Now he has a grudge against the envoy, and Cao Zirong will also ask him to take the envoy's head on the neck of the envoy. There are only two ways in front of the envoy."
Looking at Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei looked very bad, but he didn't ask anything.
He knew that even if he didn't ask, Zhuge Liang would definitely continue to say something.
"Either leave Jingzhou and go to another place, or just bring Jingzhou from Liu Jingsheng." Zhuge Liang said: "If you prepare later, you may be harmed by Liu Jingsheng."
