"Could it be a trap?" Xu Huang asked worriedly.
Fa Zheng laughed and said, "There's no need to worry. Changsha County already has few troops, and now that Han Xuan has been killed by Wei Yan and others, the remaining forces are less than 20,000. Even if it's a trap, it doesn't matter!"
Xu Huang nodded after listening, agreeing with Fa Zheng's reasoning, and thus agreed.
"Alright, in that case, everyone go and prepare. We will enter the city tomorrow!" Xu Huang said.
"Yes!" everyone said in unison.
The following day, the city gates of Changsha slowly opened.
Wei Yan and the officers and soldiers of Changsha County came out to greet them. Gao Shun led the vanguard into the city first, but found nothing unusual. It seemed that Wei Yan had truly surrendered.
Subsequently, Xu Huang and his group also entered Changsha County.
"This humble general, Wei Yan, pays his respects to the general!" Wei Yan led the way by kneeling and bowing.
Xu Huang nodded and helped Wei Yan up, saying, "Get up!"
"Thank you, General!" Wei Yan said respectfully.
"Hmm! Let me ask you, was it really you who killed Han Xuan?" Xu Huang asked in a deep voice.
“Yes, Han Xuan is incompetent and cannot distinguish right from wrong! He has only himself to blame and has no one else to blame!” Wei Yan explained.
Xu Huang stared at Wei Yan for a long time, a hint of murderous intent flashing between his brows.
Regardless of the era, those who kill their masters are despised.
You can surrender, that's human nature, but you can't kill your master, that's against all reason!
"Guards! Push Wei Yan away and execute him!" Xu Huang roared.
"Yes, sir!" Immediately, several soldiers rushed forward with steel swords in hand.
Wei Yan was taken aback: "General, what have I done wrong?"
"Hmph! You murdered your lord, a crime deserving of death. How could I spare you?" Xu Huang said coldly.
"I'm innocent, General!" Wei Yan cried out hastily.
"Drag him away!" Xu Huang shouted.
Several soldiers immediately grabbed Wei Yan and were about to drag him away.
At this moment, Fa Zheng immediately understood Xu Huang's meaning and stepped forward, cupping his hands and saying, "General, Wei Yan has also made contributions in surrendering the city. If we execute him, the officers and soldiers of Changsha will be terrified, which will be detrimental to us."
"Please spare his life for now, General, and let us see how he behaves!"
Xu Huang didn't really want to kill Wei Yan, but rather wanted to intimidate him, otherwise this man would surely harbor rebellious intentions in the future!
But he had to admire Fa Zheng for understanding him so quickly. Working with Fa Zheng was so pleasant.
"Hmph, since the strategist has pleaded for you, then this general will spare your life today and temporarily appoint you as a centurion. Do you have any objections?" Xu Huang said calmly.
Wei Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, General!"
Even though he was only a centurion, it was better than being dead.
"Alright, you may leave!" Xu Huang waved his hand, dismissing Wei Yan.
Wei Yan broke out in a cold sweat and quickly left the area.
After Wei Yan left, Fa Zheng said with a smile, "General, your skills in managing people are becoming more and more proficient."
Xu Huang sighed and said, "Strategist, most of our Yellow Turban Army are of humble origin. If we want to contend for the world, we must rectify military discipline. Otherwise, we will find it difficult to achieve great things in the future."
"The general's concerns are absolutely correct!" Fa Zheng said.
Then Xu Huang remembered Huang Zhong and asked, "Where is Huang Zhong?"
"After Wei Yan killed Han Xuan, he rescued Huang Zhong, but Huang Zhong did not surrender with Wei Yan and the others. He is currently at home."
Xu Huang knew Huang Zhong's strength all too well; he was a formidable general.
It would be a waste to put such a fierce general, who could fight Zhao Yun to a standstill, under Han Xuan of Changsha Commandery!
He is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also has remarkable leadership abilities. If we could subdue him, he would be even more powerful.
"I will go to see him in person. As for whether he is willing to submit to my Yellow Turban Army, that is entirely up to him. I will not force him!" Xu Huang said solemnly.
"Yes, sir!" Fa Zheng replied.
Soon, Xu Huang arrived outside Huang Zhong's residence.
"Knock knock knock...!"
After Huang Zhong knocked on the gate of his residence, a guard ran out shortly after. Upon seeing Xu Huang and Dian Wei, his expression changed.
"Greetings, Generals." The guard quickly bowed and said.
Xu Huang smiled slightly: "Hehe, we heard that General Huang is unwell, so we came to pay our respects."
"General, please don't make things difficult for me. My general has given orders that I will not see anyone," the guard said bitterly.
Dian Wei frowned immediately. He didn't know what Huang Zhong was up to, daring to refuse to see them.
"A defeated general dares to put on airs!"
After saying that, Dian Wei rushed straight in, startling the guards who quickly tried to stop him.
"Get out of my way!" Dian Wei shouted coldly.
Dian Wei pushed the guard aside and walked into the courtyard. But before he could stand still, a huge hammer suddenly came crashing down on him. Startled, Dian Wei dodged to the side, avoiding a fatal blow.
The huge hammer fell to the ground, creating a deep crater, which startled Dian Wei so much that his anus tightened instantly.
Goodness, what kind of person can lift such a heavy hammer?
"Who is it? Get your ass out here!" Dian Wei shouted.
Then a child with dry, yellow hair and a sickly face slowly walked out of the house.
In his hand, he was also carrying another huge hammer, which was clearly made specifically for the child.
"you……"
"boom……!"
Before he could finish speaking, another huge iron hammer came crashing down, and Dian Wei dodged it again.
At this moment, Dian Wei was certain that the boy in front of him was the owner of the hammer!
This scene also stunned Xu Huang. Who was this child? He looked to be only ten years old, yet he could wield such a huge hammer?
