  Liu Feng only needs to wave his hand lightly, and a thousand arrows will be fired at the same time. Huang Zhong and his thousand men are likely to be shot into a beehive in an instant.

  Huang Zhong died, and Linxiang City had no more capable generals to use. With less than a thousand remaining soldiers, how could they resist the Jiangxia army whose morale was greatly boosted?

  Huang Zhong's surname, Linxiang City and even the entire Changsha County are now under Liu Feng's control. However, what puzzles Huang Zhong is that this great opportunity that has fallen into his lap, Liu Feng doesn't even bother to take it seriously.

  "General, why don't you return to the city? Are you thinking of staying behind to drink a few cups of good wine with your juniors?" Liu Feng joked as he saw Huang Zhong sink into deep thought.

  Huang Zhong came to from his difficult thoughts, his brow furrowed, his aged yet piercing eyes fixed intently on Liu Feng: "Liu Gongzi, what is it that you ultimately desire?"

  As soon as he heard this, the anxious Changsha soldiers under Huang Zhong's command became even more flustered. They thought to themselves that since the enemy had finally agreed to let them go, they should consider themselves lucky to have escaped with their lives from the jaws of death. The best thing to do would be to hurry back to the city as quickly as possible. And yet, at such a critical moment, the old general still had the nerve to ask about the reason for letting them go - wasn't this just a case of having eaten too much and getting anxious for no reason?

  "I've already mentioned the reason earlier, if General wants to ask again, I can add one more point. Because I, Liu Feng, have great admiration for General and hope that in the future, I can fight alongside him. How's that, is this reason satisfactory to you, General?"

  Liu Feng's metallic voice spread throughout the camp, and the four words "fighting side by side" even increased the intensity, making people feel a surge of hot blood boiling.

  Huang Zhong's stern expression subsided, and he gazed once more at the young man surrounded by flames. After a long silence, he slightly nodded his head and said in a loud voice: "Lord Liu has shown mercy today, I, Huang Zhong, have taken note of it. With that, I bid farewell."

  As for Liu Feng's magnanimity, Huang Zhong could not make too much response. He immediately turned his horse around and led his more than 1,000 Longzhong soldiers who were frightened and retreated to Linxiang City in the south.

  Liu Feng rode his horse forward, watching as the enemy troops disappeared into the night. Ma Chao, who was following beside him, couldn't help but say: "Young Master, although you had intended to capture Huang Han Sheng, just now was also a good opportunity. With just one order, by this time tomorrow, we might have been able to hold a victory banquet in Linxiang City."

  Liu Feng smiled faintly: "Those who achieve great things must have patience. Changsha will be mine sooner or later, why rush? Moreover, it's easy to get a thousand soldiers, but hard to find a good general. In fact, getting one Huang Zhong is worth more than ten Changshas."

  It is easy to get one thousand soldiers, but difficult to find a good general.

  Although the eight words spoken by Liu Feng were about Huang Zhong, in Ma Chao's ears, they brought a warm feeling. In Ma Chao's eyes, Huang Zhong and he were actually the same kind of people, both "talented" individuals, and Liu Feng's words of seeking talent like thirst naturally also indirectly made Ma Chao feel his own importance in Liu Feng's eyes.

  Thinking of this, Ma Xiao lightly exhaled: "Since it's like that, then the two of us have already made our moves on the bright chessboard. Next, we should watch the performance of the dark chess piece."

  "Huang Hansheng, we will meet again soon." Liu Feng smiled secretly as he gazed out at the night scene of Linxiang City.

  …………

  All the way in silence, Huang Zhong led a thousand Changsha soldiers back to Linxiang City quietly.

  That night, Han Xuan and Bai Yide stood on the city wall, anxiously looking towards the enemy camp in the north. They were prepared that as soon as they saw the enemy camp fire rise, after Huang Zhong had succeeded, he would immediately lead his troops to provide reinforcements.

  Unfortunately, Han Xuan was disappointed once again. After watching for half the night, Han Xuan did not see the enemy camp's fire start, but instead saw a dispirited and unsuccessful Huang Zhong return.

  "Huang Zhong, I ordered you to launch a night raid on the enemy camp. Why did you go and then return?" Han Xuan asked sternly as soon as he saw Huang Zhong.

  Huang Zhong let out a light sigh and said quietly, "I was originally acting on the orders of General Han to raid the camp, but unfortunately Liu Feng had already taken precautions and set up an ambush with bows and crossbows, so General Han's plan came to nothing."

  Han Xuan's expression changed drastically, but his shock was not just because his plan had been seen through by Liu Feng.

  He turned to the thousand troops who followed Huang Zhong into the city and asked sternly, "Since you have fallen into that little boy's trap, why can you come back without losing a single soldier or suffering any damage?"

  "That Liu Gongzi kept his promise, and as soon as he received a reply from his father, he immediately did not use force against me in Changsha, so I was able to retreat with over a thousand troops." Huang Zhong answered Han Xuan's question without any concealment.

  Huang Zhong's words sounded without any contradictions, but at this time, Han Xuan heard them as full of contradictions.

  Huan Xuan had always been wary of Huang Zhong. Previously, Huang Zhong had insisted on defending and not attacking, and when he was forced to come out of the city to fight, he even met with the enemy general alone on horseback, who knows what they said? Now that he has led his troops to raid the camp, the enemy could have easily killed him, but instead let him return unscathed.

  All sorts of doubts piled up together, and the volcano that had been accumulating in Han Xuan's heart finally erupted at this moment.

  "Come on, men! Take down the rebel leader Huang Zhong for me!"

  As Han Xuan let out a loud shout, the dozens of personal soldiers who had been lying in wait rushed forward, their swords and spears at the ready, surrounding Huang Zhong on all sides. The four hundred troops who had followed Huang Zhong for many years saw that their commander was about to be harmed and, filled with shock and anger, immediately turned around to rescue him.

  With the martial power of Jiangnan's number one saber, these scattered troops in front of him couldn't hurt him, but Huang Zhong looked around and saw that nearly a hundred archers had been deployed on the city walls and nearby rooftops. It seemed that Han Xuan had anticipated his own moves and made prior arrangements.

  If he were to kill his way out of the city in a fit of rage, no one would be able to stop him from escaping and rising to heaven, but his 400 personal soldiers would have to die here, which is something Huang Zhong cannot bear.

  Seeing the situation, Huang Zhong hastily stopped his restless troops and glared at Han Xuan, saying loudly: "Han Governor, why do you falsely accuse me of being a rebellious general?"

  At this time, Han Xuan had already taken advantage of the situation to retreat into the protection circle laid down by his own soldiers. Facing Huang Zhong's questioning, he coldly snorted: "All the signs are sufficient to prove that you and the enemy general Liu Feng have been secretly colluding, plotting to take Longsha from me. How could I, Han Xuan, be played with by your kind of deceitful people?"

  "I did not collude with Liu Feng!" Faced with the unjust accusations of Zhou Yu, Huang Zhong was at a loss for words and could only loudly shout in anger.

  Han Xuan remained unmoved, pointing his whip at him and saying: "Now that things have come to this point, there's no need for any more futile arguments. I'll tell you the truth, your family is now under my control, so if you know what's good for you, just surrender quietly. If not... humph!"

  Using family members as hostages is really despicable!

  At this moment, Huang Zhong was so angry that his mustache was blowing in the wind, and he hated to cut down Han Xuan with one knife. However, under such a passive situation, a bellyful of anger had nowhere to vent.

  After a brief stalemate, Huang Zhong suddenly raised his long knife high, and the surrounding soldiers were shocked and fearful, thinking that Huang Zhong was about to start killing. However, the blood-stained blade, with a loud "thud", plunged deep into the ground instead.

  More than ten steps away, Han Xuan let out a long sigh of relief.
