Chapter 96 – Huang Zhong is forced to Submit under Huang She's leg
Translated by Bloodfalcon, Edited by Krayto
Huang Zhong is really anxious. He has discharged all of his strength to seek for Huang Xu, but he found nothing. That is his only son. Su Fei also reported this event to Huang Zu, so Huang Zu helped search as well, but until now, there is no report at all.
“Oh, my son Xu, where are you?!” On Huang Zhong's table there is a jug full of white wine. In times of war, wine is prohibited inside the army, let alone in main tent, but Huang Zhong could not hold his anxiety. He has been worrying too much.
Who, just who in the world kidnapped my son Xu? WHO? Is it Lu Bu’s army? That is impossible, Huang Xu disappeared in Jiangxia. Lu Bu’s army is currently unable to kidnap anyone from Jiangxia, who then, who? While Huang Zhong pondered, he had drunk several cups of wine.
“In the army, one is prohibited to drink wine. This is your rule, General Huang. How dare you lick your own saliva?!” A malicious sound reached Huang Zhong's ear.
“What do you want?!” In all Huangzhou city, the person who Huang Zhong do not want to see appeared in main tent “Eldest son She, you are leaving your post in Huangzhou city. What do you want by appearing in Zhong's main tent?!”
Huang Zhong's mood is very bad now and he is angry because the guard did not notify him of this young asshole's arrival.
“Nothing, I just want to ask when General Huang wanted to expel Lu Bu’s army out of Jiangxia!”
Huang She is asking lightly, in his tone, he do not have any respect at all for his commander-in-chief, Huang Zhong.
“Now is not a good time!” Said Huang Zhong while gulping down a cup of wine.
Huang Zhong thought to himself"Expelling Lu Bu’s army outside of Jiangxia? Going on the offensive? Ha-Ha-Ha. If you did that, you are playing into Lu Bu hand.
How can 10,000 troops fight with an army of 30,000 troops? Use your damn brain you useless Idiot."
Now what Huang Zhong is playing defensively, refusing to battle, Lu Bu army's grain and provisions to deplete it to almost nothing. Until then can they do a decisive battle to expel Lu Bu's army.
“THEN WHEN IS THE GOOD TIME?!” Huang She unexpectedly used an interrogating tone. A quartermaster is interrogating the commander-in-chief? Huang Zhong's brow wrinkled.
“This thing does not concern you, Eldest son She. It is Zhong's duty. Eldest son She's responsibility is only preparing grain and provisions for the military campaign!”
Huang Zhong also replied impolitely. The division of duty has been clear from the very start. Huang She's duty is a quartermaster, and Huang Zhong is commander-in-chief. So planning for war, Huang She is not qualified to do that.
“HUMPH! My father has given you military authority, why are you delaying to battle? You know the consumption rate of our army?
How many common people are restless every day because you do not repel Lu Bu’s army out of our Jiangxia? I ask you, can you bear this responsibility or not?!” Huang She shot back and kept pointing with his finger toward Huang Zhong
Huang Zhong just smiled coldly. This Huang She really just wanted to do battle eh?
“I believe I have already said it, if Eldest son She finds Zhong's tactics unacceptable, please submit a memorial to General Huang Zu. Ask Milord to transfer military authority to you!!! We will see, if General Huang Zu want to carefully read your letter or not!!!”
If this is an ordinary quartermaster, Huang Zhong can execute him immediately. But this is Huang Zu's son, even though this young bastard was in the wrong, how can a quartermaster question his commander-in-chief in an interrogative tone?
“YOU!!! YOU!!!!” Huang She anger hit its peak. His father sent Huang She a letter reprimanding him, it almost dismissed him from the army and had hum return from the front line in Huangzhou city back to Jiangxia.
Needless to say why Huang She blamed Huang Zhong. He also realized why his father is writing a reprimand letter is because Huang Zhong submitted a memorial to Huang Zu.
Actually Huang She wanted Huang Zhong to submit under him. But Huang She really hated Huang Zhong so he reported him to Huang Zu. In actuality it is Su Fei who submitted memorial to Huang Zu.
Huang She is useless in the frontline, but because Su Fei knows about his ambition and worried that he would snatch military authority from Huang Zhong, making him dismiss himself voluntarily. Therefore Su Fei quickly reported this to Huang Zu.
“Old fart, you should not be proud or arrogant now, even though you hold military authority now, in the end you are a DOG of my Huang clan!!!”
Dog of Huang clan, those words are really demeaning. Huang Zhong's complexion became grim “My lord is Liu Biao of Jing Province not your father General Huang Zu!”
“What is the difference? Now you are in Jiangxia, my territory. Those soldiers you command are also my Jiangxia's soldiers and horses! It is true currently my father is the owner of Jiangxia and he can be like this because he has use for you, old dog. Sooner or later this Jiangxia will fall to my hand, and you will be my dog for life!!!”
“HUMPH!!!” Huang Zhong just coldly humphed. What Huang She said is right because Huang She is Huang Zu's son, eventually when Huang Zu dies Jiangxia will be inherited by Huang She.
“I do not care about the future, at least now Jiangxia's current affairs is not your decision. Guards, please send Eldest son She, back to his camp!” Huang Zhong did not want to argue further with Huang She.
“Huh, are you angry now you should be ashamed of yourself!!!” Huang She sneered. “OH, LET ME REPEAT ONCE MORE. HUANG ZHONG, YOU ARE MY CLAN'S DOG, WHEN YOU DIE, YOUR SON WILL BECOME MY CLAN'S DOG!!! HIS SON WILL BE MY CLAN'S DOG ALSO HIS FURTHER GENERATION'S WILL ALSO BE MY CLAN'S DOG!!!!”
“SHUT UP!!!!” Huang Zhong's eyes started to emit killing intent. Huang She insulted him again and again, Huang Zhong still can endure, but when his son was also insulted, he cannot hold his anger!
“Huang She, dost thou think I do not dare to kill thou!” Huang Zhong's manner changed into an imposing one. He locked-on Huang She like he is a prey and already dead.
“You want to kill me? DO YOU DARE?!” Although Huang She is a little afraid with Huang Zhong's anger, but he still had a trump card in his hand.
“TRY ME!!!” Huang Zhong approaches Huang She step by step. This bastard Huang She again and again provoked Huang Zhong and today it is the last straw.
Huang Zhong transferred to Jiangxia to find a good doctor for his son Huang Xu. Now, in addition he did not finding good doctor, his son also disappeared. Suddenly Huang Zhong's presence here become a lost cause.
In addition he was drunk because of the wine, Huang Zhong wishes to kill Huang She immediately and then surrender to Lu Bu.
Looking at Huang Zhong approaching step by step, Huang She a little nervous. But looking at Huang Zhong's expression right now, Huang She's heart actually pretty happy. This Huang Zhong really cares for his son, then he said “Huang Zhong, you dare to hurt me even a hair, you will never see your son ever again!!!”
“What?!” Huang Zhong stopped his steps at once “My son Xu!!! You know my son Xu whereabouts?!” Huang Zhong asked Huang She while holding his shoulders.
“LET ME GO, LET ME GO NOW!!!!” Due to Huang Zhong excitement, he subconsciously held Huang She shoulders with full power. The strength of pinnacle super-class generals is very big, making Huang She felt that his own shoulders were about to crushed.
“Eldest son She, tell me, where is my son Xu now!!” Huang Zhong is really excited. The news of his son suddenly returned life to his eyes.
"Kowtow before me!"
"What?!"Huang Zhong stunned.
“ARE YOU DEAF?! KOWTOW, KOWTOW BEFORE ME, NOW!!!” Huang She sneered.
“Eldest son Huang She, don't push me too far!!!”
“OKAY THEN, IT'S FINE!!!!” Huang She sneered again. “SO, GENERAL HUANG, DRINK THAT WINE UNTIL DAWN, YOU WILL NEVER KNOW YOUR SON'S STATUS NOW!!!” Said Huang She while walking toward the main tent's door.
“Wait!” Suddenly Huang She was stopped by Huang Zhong's voice.
“I will kowtow now!” Huang Zhong's fist has grasped his hand tightly, even he did not feel the pain caused by his fingernail.
A real man’s kowtow is worth a thousand gold. Even though this is ancient time, kowtowing is only reserved for his ones teacher.
In the military, there is also a tradition on respecting, usually it is holding one's fist and even though there is also kneeling, it is only half-kneeling toward higher ranks. But currently Huang She wanted Huang Zhong to kowtow toward him.
“Splash!” Huang Zhong kowtowed toward Huang She, hung his pride, in order to save his son.
“Eldest son She, please inform Zhong about my son's whereabouts!”
“RIGHT, THIS IS THE CORRECT ATTITUDE. BUT YOU KOWTOWED SO EARLY, SO I FORGOT TO TELL YOU!” Huang She has arrived in front of Huang Zhong and he patted Huang Zhong's head. Similar to patting a dog.
Huang Zhong bit his teeth, his hand shaking violently. He is furious.
“BUT I CHANGED MY MIND NOW, I WILL LET YOU IN THE DARK LONGER!” Huang She walked slowly toward the commander’s seat and sat on it. He looked at Huang Zhong from this angle, a really good feeling.
Huang She was really happy right now, is this a feeling of a warlord? No, this is the feeling for becoming a commander-in-chief.
“OLD FART, I SAID AGAIN. YOU ARE MY HUANG CLAN'S DOG. YOUR SON ALSO! SINCE BOTH OF YOU ARE DOGS, YOU MUST HEAR MY COMMAND IMMEDIATELY, MAYBE WHEN I, HUANG SHE, AM HAPPY, I WILL TELL YOUR SON'S LOCATION!”
“HUANG SHE, FUCK YOU!” Huang Zhong stood fiercely, his face revealed blue vein and his hand already stroking the sword on his waist.
