Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 152: Do your best and leave the rest to fate! (Thanks to the monthly ticket support from book friend 2024…8978~)

Just when Huang Zhong thought he was about to die.

The blade suddenly stopped less than a centimeter away from the tip of the nose!
Huang Zhong had a higher opinion of Wei Yan in his heart because he could control his power so freely!
Wei Yan stopped the blade and sneered:
"Old man, are you convinced now?"

Huang Zhong's face turned red, and he really wanted to tear this kid's mouth apart!
"I don't agree! I'm not good at swordsmanship, if you dare, challenge me in archery! Even though I'm old, my arrows are still sharp!"

Wei Yan was immediately unhappy:

"Hey! You old bastard! Why don't you keep your word?
"You didn't mention archery just now! Besides, haven't I defeated you in swordsmanship?"

Huang Zhong snorted coldly:
"You want me to surrender? Dream on! If you have the guts, just kill me with a knife!"

"Fuck you!"

Wei Yan was so angry that he cursed and grabbed Huang Zhong by the collar.

If it weren't for the order from my master.

If he hadn't felt the old guy's terrifying explosive power in the previous battle, he would have admitted that the other party was indeed a talent.

I'm afraid he killed the other person with that one blow just now!
It turns out that this old rogue refused to admit his defeat. It’s really maddening!
Seeing that the other party turned his head away, he looked shameless.

Just when Wei Yan was about to kill them, Chen Gong hurriedly ran towards the two of them, waving and shouting as he ran:
"Bunaga! That's enough, that's enough... Let go of the old general!"

Wei Yan glanced at Chen Gong with an unhappy look on his face:

"Why should we let him go? This old man doesn't keep his word. Am I wrong?"

“The elder Wen has done nothing wrong, but the old general has done nothing wrong either.

"Just now I said that you defeated General Huang. Since General Huang is not convinced, let's just leave it at that for now."

As Chen Gong spoke, he winked at Wei Yan.

Wei Yan knew that Chen Gong had something to say, so he angrily let go of Huang Zhong's armor.

Huang Zhong straightened his clothes and snorted at Wei Yan!
Chen Gong bowed to Huang Zhong and said:
"We are sorry for coming here unexpectedly today, and I hope General Huang will forgive us.

“It’s just that Liu Biao is not as good as the general thinks, and my master is not as bad as the general thinks.

"He knows that you, General Huang, are loyal and righteous. He specifically mentioned you this time, so we came to visit him.

“General, if you have time, you can go to our army and take a look. You will be surprised!
"I was also devoted to Cao at that time. Later, when I came to serve under Marquis Wen, I understood what heaven on earth is!"

After hearing what Chen Gong said, Huang Zhong gradually became interested.

The other party repeatedly mentioned that it was Lu Bu who took the initiative to ask them to visit him.

Although he boasted that he was invincible in archery and swordsmanship.

But a mere General of the Central Army, hiding in this tiny You County, should not have much fame, right?
How did Lu Bu know him?

He even specially sent a fifth-rank official to visit me?

Moreover, this skinny-looking civil servant in front of him actually worked under Cao Cao before, but now he has switched to Lu Bu?

Is Lu Bu's rule really as exaggerated as the other party says?

Although Huang Zhong was intrigued, he still snorted:
"Even if you talk nonsense, I still have no interest in Lu Bu's army!
“I have heard that the Governor of Yuzhou, Liu Xuande, is kind and benevolent to others and is very popular among the people.

"If your army really comes to take over Changsha, I will resign and join Liu Xuande!"

Chen Gong could only sigh when he heard Huang Zhong's firm words:
"In that case, the two of us will not stay any longer.

“I only regret that my master and you have no destiny, and that I cannot let the old general come to meet you.

"If it weren't for the old general's help, I'm afraid that my master would have reached the limit of his life if he had taken Jingzhou..."

After saying that, Chen Gong bowed to Huang Zhong and took Wei Yan away.

Huang Zhong looked at the backs of Chen Gong and the other two as they left, and a trace of trance and confusion appeared in his old eyes that were hiding his brilliance...

"Gongtai! Why are you being so polite to that untrustworthy old man?
"Since he refuses to join the lord, I might as well chop him down with a sword!
"Because he really joins Liu Bei's army, he will become a serious threat to our army."

On the way back, Wei Yan couldn't help but question Chen Gong. Chen Gong smiled and shook his head:

"Wen Chang's words are wrong. I see that Huang Zhong has a strong and unyielding character, and he will act tough when faced with difficulties.

"Wen Changzuo is an old scoundrel and a shameless old thief.

“Even if he is impressed by your martial arts, he will never give in to your attitude.

"If you had used kind words to persuade the opponent when you defeated him, maybe this would have been successful."

Although Wei Yan had a hot temper and was arrogant, he was also very smart.

Hearing Chen Gong say this, he couldn't help but recall the ugly expression on Huang Zhong's face when he was defeated before.

If I hadn't mocked the other person out of momentary pride.

Maybe you can really say a few nice words to give the other party a way out and successfully win him over.

Wei Yan asked with some annoyance:
"What Gongtai said makes sense, but now that things have come to this, what should we do?"

Chen Gong saw that Wei Yan was already regretful, so he smiled and said:

"This matter is not urgent. After I go back and report to the Lord, I will ask the Lord to personally bring Wen Changni back again.

"First, let the lord use force to intimidate the other party once more, and then you can go forward and sincerely apologize to the other party.

"With the combination of hardness and softness, the other party will naturally surrender with courtesy!"

After hearing Chen Gong's thoughts, Wei Yan immediately stiffened his neck:
"Let me apologize to that old bastard? No way!"

Chen Gong was not surprised by Wei Yan's reaction and said with a smile:

"If you can obtain this brave general for my lord, it will be a great achievement!
"What's the use of such a small amount of face?

"If you can put aside your pride and seek benefits for your lord, your lord will pay more attention to you. Do you think what I said is right?"

The dissatisfaction on Wei Yan's face gradually subsided.

Others may not be worthy of him doing this, but he must give this face to his lord.

Just as Chen Gong had said before, he was promoted out of turn when he first joined Lu Bu's army.

Lu Bu also often praised his bravery and brilliant strategies in public and regarded him as his trusted and beloved general.

Now that the other party has something to ask for, how can I, a trusted general, let him miss out on such a powerful general just for a few points of face?
Putting aside Huang Zhong's stubborn temper, the fact that he could fight with me for hundreds of rounds before showing signs of weakness was already very impressive.

And from what he said, archery seems to be what he is really good at.

The opponent fought him with a sword technique that was not his best, but he was still able to beat him like this.

If we really compete in archery, I’m afraid even my lord might not be able to win even if he came!
Thinking of this, Wei Yan nodded immediately:
"Alright... If it's for my lord, I, Wei Yan, am willing to admit my fault to that old man!"

Chen Gong smiled and patted his shoulder:

"That's right~ Wenchang is very righteous, the lord will definitely reward you!"

Wei Yan curled his lips and turned his head away, pretending not to care.

At the same time as the two of them were returning, Bu Zhi and Wen Pin, the last group members, had also arrived at Chen County, the seat of Guiyang.

This was the first time that Bu Zhi was entrusted with an important task by Lu Bu, and he seemed quite nervous at the moment.

Wen Pin noticed the young man's nervousness and comforted him with a smile:

“Diplomacy is no different from war. As long as you can grasp the opponent’s weakness and kill him with one strike, you can achieve the desired result!

"Zishan, don't worry about failure. The lord has always been tolerant of us, his subjects.

"You just need to do your best and leave the rest to fate! Use the method you are best at to convince the other party!"
