What did Huang Zhong do before he voted for Liu Bei?

There is nothing to do. First of all, when Huang Zhong was young, there was no chaos in the world. The so-called "heroes are useless", so they can't be shown; Secondly, he followed Liu Biao and Han Xuan successively, guarding the city, keeping one side safe, and it was difficult to show the eventfulness. After following Liu Bei, he broke ground for Liu Bei and fought everywhere, giving him the opportunity to display his talents. The so-called "heroes in troubled times" is also called-not that there are no heroes in peacetime, but that heroes in peacetime have no chance to show them. The Biography of Huang Zhong in the Case of the Reflection of the Three Kingdoms says: "Cao Gongke Jingzhou, a self-proclaimed general, is still in office and belongs to Han Xuan, the magistrate of Changsha. My ancestors lived in the counties of Nanding, and they kept their promises and went to Shu. " Cao Caoke Jian 'an was thirteen years old, and Huang Zhong was sixty-one. Cao Cao didn't like him either, of course, because Huang Zhong was too old (then I thought of the wise Liu Bei, who had a good eye for talents). Previously, "Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao thought he was a corps commander, and Zi Cong * * * was guarding Youxian County in Changsha." Liu Biao was in power in Jingzhou for eighteen years, and Jingzhou was relatively stable. I can definitely assume that Huang Zhong spent most of his life in Jingzhou. According to legend, he had a son, not long ago. Maybe his wife died young, and he has been living alone ever since. It can even be said that he and Liu Qing spent some time in Youxian County, Changsha. Liu Qing is Liu Biao's nephew and has a good relationship with Huang Zhong, who also recommended him to Liu Bei. Now I want to talk about Liu Yong. There is only one place in the reflection that tells his story. Volume 49 "Biography of Taishi Ci": "Liu Biao is a brave and obedient son, counted as Kou Yu 'ai and Xi 'an counties. (Sun) So he divided the six counties around Haimao and Jianchang, and took the kindness of (Taishi) as a captain of Jianchang to rule Haimao (meaning to build the capital), but the governor refused. When you are extinct, you will no longer be a shackle. " Now we should understand that Liu Yong's bravery must be due to Huang Zhong's presence, which poses a great threat to the border of Wu Dong. In fact, Liu Yong and Huang Zhong don't necessarily want to seize the territory of Wu Dong. Sun Ce and Sun Quan had to send such a valiant soldier as Taishi Ci (Taishi Ci was the only valiant soldier in Sun Ce at that time) to guard the border. At that time, Taishi Ci was in his thirties, while Huang Zhong was over half a century old. I can totally imagine that Huang Zhong and Taishi Ci fought at that time, and more than once, it should be a draw. Taishi Ci's "Ape's arm is good at shooting, and the string is not empty"; Huang Zhong drew his bow, and made a hundred strides. Two people should have regular gestures. Let's make a timetable. In the first year of Zhong Ping, the Yellow Scarf Uprising broke out, and Huang Zhong was 37 years old. Obviously, Huang Zhong did not join the army to fight, and made great contributions, otherwise he would have been famous for his martial arts. He is over the age of blood in his twenties and has a family. He won't want to go to war. Perhaps it was at this time that he moved to Jingzhou with his family in order to avoid the war. In the first year of Chuping, Dong Zhuo was good at politics. Sun Jian killed Wang Rui, the secretariat of Jingzhou, and Liu Biao succeeded the secretariat. Huang Zhong was 43 years old. In the third year of Chuping, Cao Cao broke the yellow turban insurrectionary and Huang Zhong was forty-five years old. Now, we can briefly describe Huang Zhong's life: Huang Zhong, male, from Nanyang, handsome and honest. He has a happy family, a virtuous and beautiful wife and a lively and lovely son. The couple are very happy with each other. Although the economy is tight, the family is very happy. Later, when the war broke out, Huang Zhong had to leave his hometown and lead his family to Jingzhou, a stable place, to find a Wu Zhi. Later, the son died of illness, and the couple were in great pain. His wife died soon because of excessive sadness and weakness. Since then, Huang Zhong has lost his happiness and his life has lost its meaning. Seeing Huang Zhong like this, Liu Yong often invites him to hunt or harass Wu Dong to distract him. Huang Zhong's martial arts are high, but his opponents are few. He just regained a little feeling in the battle. But he was born in a civilian and was not valued. As the days of poverty and boredom passed, Huang Zhong was already disheartened and prepared to spend the rest of his life like this. By the time Liu Bei found him, he was over sixty years old and white-haired. Finally, in the last stage of his life, this rusty treasure knife shone with dazzling light, which laid a solid foundation for Liu Bei and made great achievements in Shu and Han Dynasties. In the twenty-five years of Jian 'an, the old general died in Chengdu at the age of seventy-three. Just waiting for the seal.
