Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Jiangling City is an important town in Jingzhou, guarding the Yangtze River and controlling the main road between Jiangnan and the Central Plains. It has always been a must-defend place for military strategists.  Since being ordered to attack Yizhou, Liu Biao has turned Jiangling into his permanent residence, spending more time than Wancheng and Xiangyang.  Only after learning about Liu Bian's personal expedition, he knew that his career in commanding troops was coming to an end, so he returned to Xiangyang and prepared to take over.  He handed over the military power to his subordinate Liu Pan. Huang Zhong, whom Liu Bian once asked about, was Liu Pan's deputy general.  Liu Biao naturally had his own considerations in doing this.  He was not at ease if the military power was handed over to others. Even the powerful men in Jingzhou who were close to him did not dare to be completely trusted. Only by handing it over to his relatives could he sleep peacefully.  If Liu Bian wants to harm him, Liu Pan's existence can make Liu Bian have some scruples; if Liu Bian will not harm him, Liu Pan has military power and can have a place in the army.  Liu Bian knew all about Liu Biao's little thoughts.  He never wanted to harm Liu Biao.  Liu Biao was not a pure minister, but at least he did not do anything detrimental to the court.  Whether it was because he lacked courage or was in awe of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bian only looked at his actual actions.  There is a saying that goes well: a poor family has no filial son.  Discussing deeds, regardless of heart, there are no good people in the world.  Human nature is inherently evil. When this kind of ritual collapses and all heroes rise together, who can have no ambition at all?  If you punish your heart, wouldn't everyone in the world be killed?  Liu Bian did not intend to completely drive Liu Biao's forces out of the army. This would arouse Liu Biao's backlash and affect Jingzhou's military morale and morale.  The Han Dynasty implemented centralized power and local autonomy, except for the top officials of prefectures, counties and counties who were directly appointed by the court.  Most of the other vassals were locals. In other words, Jingzhou was first the Jingzhou of Jingzhou people, and then the Jingzhou of the imperial court.  The generals of the Jingzhou Army are mainly from Jingzhou. Retaining outsiders like Liu Pan can prevent Jingzhou people from becoming dominant and is more conducive to his control of Jingzhou.  Outside Jiangling City, Liu Bian met Liu Pan and Huang Zhong.  Although Liu Pan is Liu Biao's nephew, he looks different from Liu Biao.  He has a rough appearance and is not bookish at all.  He is a standard martial artist.  Standing in front of Liu Bian.  He didn't know how to be more respectful. He stared at Liu Bian curiously with his big eyes.  On the contrary, Huang Zhong beside him understood the rules and held his hands in arms.  Keep your head down.  Silent.  Liu Bian was made to laugh by Liu Pan.  The childlike innocence suddenly arises and suddenly comes out of the realm.  The true energy came out of the body, and the sound of dragon roars sounded.  The Xuan Dao also trembled slightly in its sheath.  Liu Pan's expression suddenly changed as he was oppressed by this aura, and he took a step back involuntarily.  Huang Zhong hesitated for a moment and took a step back.  It's just that he's not as natural as Liu Pan, half a beat too slow.  Although the movements were subtle, they could not escape Liu Bian's eyes.  "Are you Huang Zhong?" "Your Majesty, I am Huang Zhong." Huang Zhong had already received the news. The emperor asked him and Wei Yan in front of everyone. He had known that this time would come, so he was not panicked at all.  "When did you realize your fate? And when did you break through it?" "You realized your destiny two years ago and broke through it three months ago." Liu Pan looked at Huang Zhong in surprise: "Han Sheng, when did you break through the realm?  , How come I don¡¯t know?¡± Huang Zhong was neither humble nor arrogant, and bowed to Liu Pan: ¡°Three months ago when we were fighting against the Yizhou Army in Yufupu,¡± Liu Pan thought about it and suddenly realized.  "Is it that time you saved me from an encirclement?" "Exactly." Huang Zhong frowned and reminded Liu Pan with his eyes, can you be more honest in front of the emperor? It is not a good habit to take the emperor's word.  Liu Pan blinked blankly, and it took him a long time to realize what he was doing. He said something and closed his mouth.  Seeing this scene, Liu Bian felt even happier.  It's a good thing for Liu Pan that he is so careless.  It seems that Liu Biao put a lot of thought into choosing a suitable candidate.  You need to be able to control the situation without making him suspicious.  Liu Bian temporarily gave up the idea of ??depriving Liu Pan of his military power. It was better to keep such a person than to drive him away.  "Go to the military camp and see the majesty of the Jingzhou Army." Kuai Yue knew it well and said nothing.  Huang Zhong was a little surprised and said nothing, but Liu Pan was so excited that he took the initiative to guide Liu Bian.  This is what samurai do. ??As a senior general, Liu Pan is not ashamed at all. On the contrary, he is very happy to be able to guide the emperor.  Jiangling garrison is mainly composed of naval forces, and the main camp is also connected with water stronghold and dry stronghold.  Several large boats have been parked on the riverside, waiting for Liu Bian to board the boats for inspection.  Liu Bian got off the beast and strode onto the springboard. The springboard shook, but Liu Bian did not slow down and walked steadily onto the building, leaving behind Liu Pan who was reaching out to help him.  "Your Majesty has been on a boat?" Kuai Yue was surprised before Liu Pan could be surprised.  "Is it difficult?" Liu Bian asked.  "The Northerners are walking on horseback"It is human nature for Southerners to sail boats.  People who are used to riding horses are somewhat timid when boarding a ship for the first time.  " "What does this mean? Is the river faster than the Yellow River and wider than the Xuanming Sea?  "Dong Bai shouted disapprovingly, but he stood on the shore with one foot on the swaying springboard. He didn't dare to take a step for a long time. When Kawujie saw it, he flew off his horse and took Dong Bai's hand.  , walked briskly off the building. With his feet on the solid deck, Dong Bai's expression softened a little, and he regained his pride, showing a disdainful expression.  A big fish pulls a boat and swims in the sea, so why does it care about such a trivial matter.  " Kuai Yue and others were a little surprised and looked at Liu Bian in disbelief. Why does this sound so unreal, a big fish like a mountain? However, they did not dare to deny it easily. The strange things that happened to Liu Bian were too strange.  If there are too many, anything is possible. ¡°Your Majesty, is this really true?  " "Haha, it's not that exaggerated.  "Liu Bian walked to the side with his hands behind his back and looked at the river. "There is no big fish like a mountain, it is only as big as a fighting ship.  There were no oars or sails at that time, so we had to find two fish to pull the boat.  She had heard it, and every time she heard it, the fish would get a little bigger, and it turned out to be as big as a mountain.  " Kuai Yue couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile: "Even if it is as big as a battleship, it is still a sacred object. Cavalry Governor Dong is right.  If it hadn't been confirmed by His Majesty himself, I really wouldn't have believed it.  " "It's natural to not believe something you haven't seen with your own eyes.  However, not being able to believe it does not mean refusing to believe it, nor does it mean denying it outright.  It is better to remain somewhat modest about unknown things.  For example, have you ever seen what kind of strength the masters who have broken through the realm have?  " Kuai Yue shook his head. Although he is good at martial arts, he never considers himself a martial artist. " Huang Zhong, show it to them.  "Liu Bian signaled to Huang Zhong and other leaders. "Let them see how high the masters who break through the realm can really be.  " Huang Zhong thought for a moment, then bowed and saluted. "Wei!  I will demonstrate my archery skills and ask for your Majesty's advice.  ¡± The martial arts of this era focused on riding and archery. Huang Zhong was from Nanyang, and generally considered a Central Plains native. In the Central Plains wars, there were relatively few cavalry, and mounted combat was limited, so archery became their most important martial arts. After understanding one¡¯s destiny and breaking through the realm,  First of all, it is reflected in the substantial improvement in eyesight, strength, and speed. For Huang Zhong, the biggest change is that archery is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. If the emperor wants to see his martial arts, he will naturally use his best archery.  The guard took the bow in his hand, pulled the string, took another arrow, turned it in his hand, and put it on the bow. "Your Majesty, please point to a target, no matter how big or small it is, within three hundred steps."  Liu Bian raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Huang Zhong, how can you show your ability by shooting dead objects?"  I'll give you a bonus.  "He said, beckoning, and Shi'a, who was standing by, stepped forward and handed over a piece of jade. Liu Bian took it and weighed it in his hand. "Did you see it? I'll let Daying pass it on later.  A piece of jade is brought to the sky. Whenever I ask you to shoot, you can release the arrow.  If you hit it, Yujue will be yours. If you miss it, you will give up your military position and become an ordinary lieutenant beside me.  " Huang Zhong's eyes flashed and he responded calmly: "Wei!  "Liu Bian whistled, and the big eagle squatting on Niu Jin's shoulder picked up the jade in its mouth, flapped its wings, and flew into the sky in a few breaths, turning into a small black dot. Everyone's eyes were in unison.  As the eagle flew up, only Huang Zhong remained motionless and kept his original posture. Everyone stared at the eagle, but Liu Bian did not send a message until the eagle seemed to disappear in the sky, and Liu Bian laughed: "  shoot!  "Everyone was stunned. How could he shoot this? He couldn't even see the eagle, let alone Yujue. Huang Zhong remained motionless, as if he hadn't heard Liu Bian's words. Everyone cast sympathetic glances at him. This time he showed his face in front of the emperor.  It's a pity that he had such a good opportunity. Not only did he fail to show his face, but he also lost his face. Qianshi's captain was lost and he could only be an ordinary lieutenant. Just when everyone felt sorry for Huang Zhong, Huang Zhong suddenly raised his eyebrows.  He raised his arm, drew the bow and nocked the arrow, and released the bowstring without hesitation. The arrow trembled violently, and suddenly disappeared in front of everyone. After a while, the sound of the string was heard in everyone's ears, "buzzing".  The sound was deafening. Everyone looked around in astonishment and searched with all their eyes, only to find that there was nothing in front of the arrow. There was no eagle, and there was no jade.  The only way is to shoot an arrow randomly? Only Liu Bian showed surprise in his eyes. Among all the people, he was the only one who saw Huang Zhong's intention. He glanced at Dong Bai, who looked unhappy, and made a gesture.  Dong Bai pouted, put two fingers into his mouth, and blew a sharp whistle. The big eagle in the clouds swooped down like a black flash.??, crossed the river three hundred steps away, caught the arrow that was about to fall into the water with his claws, flew up again, turned somersaults in the air, flew back again, folded his wings, and landed gently  On Niu Jin's outstretched arm.  On the iron talons, there is a sharp arrow, and on the arrow shaft, a crystal clear jade is clearly visible.  There was a sudden gasp of air on the deck.  Huang Zhong handed the bow to his bodyguard and bowed: "I am incompetent and shot before I heard the order. I would like to be a minister and serve as your majesty's guard." (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature for better and faster novels.  !?¡­
