C5 Worry
Chu Gongzi, the county governor of Nanyang County. In the history books, Chu Gongzi had not left much of an ink mark. It was just that in the records about the chaos of the yellow cloth, he had been killed by the leader of Nanyang's yellow cloth army, Zhang Mancheng. And Luo Yang was just a special forces soldier, not a scholar who specifically studied history. Although he usually liked the Three Kingdoms, he was still unclear about this person who had been hurriedly brought along in history.
However, the Chu Gongzi that appeared in front of Luo Yang was at least not as useless in his eyes as recorded in history. It was because of Chu Gong's decisiveness that he had ordered the strong men of the city to be called upon to help defend the city when the yellow-robed soldiers attacked the city. This had greatly increased the strength of the defenders. At the same time, after many battles, it was Chu Gongzi who noticed Luo Yang's extraordinary character. He had broken the rules and promoted Luo Yang, and had even confidently allowed Luo Yang to stand alone without any restrictions. That was how he was able to show his ability to repel the wave after wave of attacks from the Yellow Gown Army.
From these points, it could be seen that Chu Gong was someone who was competent as a county governor. Presumably, the reason Chu Gong failed to block Zhang Mancheng's attack and was defeated by the Yellow Gown Army in Nanyang was because his underlings were weak. However, with the variable of Luo Yang, Chu Gong's fate had changed. As for how far he would change, even the heavens wouldn't be able to see through him!
After repelling the attack from the yellow-robed soldiers every day, Lou Yang and Huang Zhong would rush to County Governor Manor to report the situation to Chu Gong. Furthermore, Chu Gong would greet the two of them at County Governor Manor's entrance every time, and today was no exception. Luo Yang and Huang Zhong looked at each other and smiled when they saw Chu Gonggong and his janissaries standing at the entrance of County Governor Manor. They quickened their footsteps and walked towards County Governor Manor, heading straight in front of Chu Gonggong. They prostrated themselves before him and clasped their fists towards Chu Gonggong, saying, "General Luo Yang (Huang Zhong)! "Greetings, Sir!"
As the county governor of Nanyang County, Chu Gongzi was just like the other county governors. He was a man of letters. At the moment, the status of a scholar was much higher than that of a military general. At the very least, he had never heard of a county governor being held by a military general. However, right now, Chu Gong was dressed in a military uniform. There was a treasured sword hanging from his waist. Although it still looked weak, it still possessed some killing intent. Seeing Luo Yang and Huang Zhong prostrating themselves towards him, Chu Gong hurried forward to help them up, laughing loudly: "Han Sheng! Regret! You've all worked hard!
Following Chu Gong's instructions, Luo Yang and Huang Zhong stood up, but remained respectful. Huang Zhong cupped his fist and said to Chu Gong: "Sir, what do you mean by that! This was the responsibility of this lowly general! Besides, this general had been eating the Han Lu for a long time and had never had the chance to report to the imperial government! "Now that the bandits have caused trouble, it is only right for the generals to present their skills and skills to exterminate the thieves. The imperial government should have a clear and bright future!"
"Hahahaha!" Good! Well said! " Gonggong praised Huang Zhong and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "With Han Sheng's ability, he shouldn't have submitted to this kind of situation. But now it seems like it's because Han Sheng, Zi Xu and the others stayed in Nanyang and that's why the bandits were unable to succeed. It can be seen that the great emperors were also protecting the great man in the underworld! "
Luo Yang, who was at the side, disagreed with Chu Gong's words. This Darkhan Dynasty had been riddled with holes for a long time, and from two thousand years later, Luo Yang already knew that this Yellow Turbine was only the prelude to the destruction of the Darkhan Dynasty. In the next hundred years, the world would fall into endless war and chaos. Of course, Luo Yang wouldn't say these things, these were just thoughts in his mind. If he said them out loud, not only would no one believe him, even Luo Yang himself would be dragged into the market and be beheaded.
"Come! Come! Come! Let's not just stand at the door! The two generals had worked hard! Come in and rest! " As he said that, Chu Gong held Huang Zhong in one hand and Luo Yang in the other as they walked straight into County Governor Manor. When they reached the great hall of County Governor Manor, Chu Gong released his hand and let the duo sit down. As for Chu Gong, he walked straight up to the seat of honor.
As soon as he sat down, Chu Gong smiled and said to Huang Zhong and Luo Yang: "Generals! It had been more than half a month since the bandit troops surrounded the city. They had attacked the city countless times, but they had been defeated by two generals each and every time! "It should be easy for the two generals to pacify the enemy this time." Chu Gong couldn't help but be displeased. Although Nanyang City was currently surrounded by the Yellow Gown Army, those motley armies had no way of stopping Chu Gong from receiving the news from the outside world. Right now, it could be said that this big man's world had been turned upside down by these yellow-robed soldiers. Wherever he went, it could be said that he was invincible, but now he was being held up in front of Nanyang City.
Chu Gong was a typical literary person. Money and power might not be able to move him, but fame and prestige were his weak points. Chu Gong could already foresee that after this mess was over, Chu Gong would definitely soar to fame!
Below, Huang Zhong patted his chest and shouted: "Rest assured my lord! They were just a motley crowd! As long as I, Huang Zhong, am here! Take care of all the bandits! " As he spoke, Huang Zhong couldn't help but laugh out loud.
When Luo Yang, who was at the side, saw this, he could not help but inwardly twitch his mouth. If it was just Huang Zhong alone, then perhaps this Nanyang City would have been breached long ago! Huang Zhong was brave and fierce, but he was too impulsive. This problem did not change until the day Huang Zhong died. Who knew how many times Huang Zhong suffered because of this problem! Luo Yang was even speculating that it was due to this illness of Huang Zhong that he had remained silent for the rest of his life! After all, Jingzhou was not as vast as the northern regions. In Jingzhou, scholars were the most important, but a boorish man like Huang Zhong was the one whom scholars despised the most.
Seeing Huang Zhong lose his mind after half a month of victory, Luo Yang couldn't help but to say: "Master! General Huang! He mustn't underestimate the enemy! The force of these bandits was not small; they were definitely not easy to deal with! "From what I see, we should just guard the city and wait for the reinforcements sent by the imperial government. That is the best plan!"
Knowing that he was not good enough at marching and fighting, Chu Gong nodded to his men's advice. On the other hand, Huang Zhong's face showed some dissatisfaction. If it wasn't for his relationship with Luo Yang, Huang Zhong would have long rushed up to him and scolded him. But even so, Huang Zhong snorted and said: "The regret is overestimating those disorderly masses! In my opinion, those bandits are just a bunch of farmers. They only know how to charge and run, so how could they fight? How can he be a match for our troops? "
Luo Yang smiled bitterly and explained patiently to Huang Zhong, "General Huang, you must not underestimate these bandits! To be able to create such a big commotion in such a short period of time, it could be seen that the bandits were not just a motley crowd! From what I see, the soldiers that have been attacking Nanyang City for the past half month are not the main force of the bandits, they are obviously commoners that have been instigated by the bandits! If the bandits were only at this level, how could they have reached this level of power? And now that the bandits have been thwarted in Nanyang City, the main force of the bandits will quickly arrive! Our army does not have the advantage in numbers, and we should still rely on the protection of the city walls to be the most reliable method! "
Huang Zhong was still not convinced, but Luo Yang's words were reasonable. Huang Zhong was not good with words, so he could only turn his head away and let out a dry snort. On the other hand, when Chu Gong heard Luo Yang's analysis, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "Zi Hui is right! In any case, there is plenty of food in the city. We will just stand guard here and believe that before long, reinforcements from the imperial government will arrive! When the reinforcements arrive, we will kill our way out and completely annihilate those bandits! "
Since Chu Gong had already said so, Huang Zhong had nothing to say and could only listen to him. Although Luo Yang appeared to be full of confidence in front of Chu Gong, he was still unsure in his heart. The reinforcements from the imperial government wouldn't arrive so quickly. They would have to wait for at least three months before the army from the capital could truly suppress the momentum of the yellow-robed army. But the question was, could Nanyang last until then? There was also that Zhang Mancheng. Although the historical Zhang Mancheng had only been in a hurry, to be able to become the leader of the Nanyang Yellow Turbans at the very beginning of this mess showed that he was not an ordinary person! According to history, Zhang Mancheng's invasion of Nanyang City and Chu Gong's death was like a huge mountain pressing down on Luo Yang's heart, making him almost unable to breathe.
After asking about the battle briefly, Chu Gong told Luo Yang and Huang Zhong to rest. Luo Yang was alone and was staying at Huang Zhong's house. Luckily, although Huang Zhong's house wasn't big, with only a yellow-faced woman and a sickly son, they were able to give Luo Yang a room.
Perhaps it was because he was unhappy at County Governor Manor just now. Ever since he left County Governor Manor, Huang Zhong had never given Luo Yang a pleasant expression. He remained silent with a dark expression. When he got home, he picked up some food and then went to his room to sleep, having a big head. Seeing Huang Zhong's childish behavior, Luoyang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Fortunately, his wife seemed to be used to Huang Zhong's temper. She apologetically smiled at him and left to do housework.
On the other hand, Huang Zhong's son, Huang Xu, stuck out his tongue mischievously at Luo Yang despite his sickly appearance. Huang Xu was almost ten years old this year. It was just because of his weak body that he looked like a seven or eight year old child. It was hard to imagine that such a thin and weak child would have such a valiant father.
Although Luo Yang was just a special forces soldier back on Earth, he still had some medical knowledge. It could be seen that Huang Xu's body was thin, which was probably due to his congenital heart condition. Even in the future, this disease would be extremely difficult to treat. In this age, it was no different from terminal illness. However, it was not because there was no hope. The mysterious number one person in the Chinese medical field since ancient times, Hua Tuo, did not know if he had the ability to cure Huang Xu's illness.
