Chapter 053-03 유비, 노장 황충 얻다
      
雲長領兵而退。黃忠回到城中來見韓玄，玄便喝左右捉下黃忠。忠叫曰：「無罪！」玄大怒曰：「我看了三日，汝敢欺我！汝前日不力戰，必有私心。昨日馬失，他不殺汝，必有關通。今日兩番虛拽弓弦，第三箭卻正射他盔纓，如何不是外通內連？若不斬汝，必為後患！」喝令刀斧手推出城門外斬之。眾將欲告，玄曰：「但告免黃忠者，便是同罪！」剛推到門外，恰欲舉刀，忽然一將揮刀殺入，砍死刀手，救起黃忠，大叫曰：「黃漢升乃長沙之保障，今殺漢升，是殺長沙百姓也！韓玄殘暴不仁，輕賢慢士，當眾共殛之！願隨我者便來！」

眾視其人，面如重棗，目若朗星，乃義陽人魏延也；自襄陽趕劉玄德不著，來投韓玄；玄怪其傲慢少禮，不肯重用，故屈沈於此。當日救了黃忠，教百姓同殺韓玄，袒臂一呼，相從者數百餘人。黃忠攔當不住。魏延直殺上城頭，一刀砍韓玄為兩段，提頭上馬，引百姓出城，投拜雲長。雲長大喜，遂入城安撫已畢，請黃忠相見。忠託病不出。雲長即使人去請玄德、孔明。

卻說玄德自雲長來取長沙，與孔明隨後催促人馬接應。正行間，青旗倒捲，一鴉自北南飛，連叫三聲而去。玄德曰：「此應何禍福？」孔明就在馬上袖占一課曰：「長沙郡已得，又主得大將。午時後定見分曉。」

少頃，見一小校飛報前來，說：「關將軍已得長沙郡，降將黃忠、魏延。耑等主公到彼。」玄德大喜，遂入長沙。雲長接入廳上，具言黃忠之事，玄德乃親往黃忠家相請，忠方出降，求葬韓玄屍首於長沙之東。後人有詩讚黃忠曰：

將軍氣概與天參，白髮猶然困漢南。
至死甘心無怨望，臨降低首尚懷慚。
寶刀燦雪彰神勇，鐵騎臨風憶戰酣。
千古高名應不泯，長隨孤月照湘潭。

玄德待黃忠甚厚。雲長引魏延來見，孔明喝令刀斧手推出斬之。玄德驚問孔明曰：「魏延乃有功無罪之人，軍師何故欲殺之？」孔明曰：「食其祿而殺其主，是不忠也；居其土而獻其地，是不義也。吾觀魏延腦後有反骨，久後必反，故先斬之，以絕禍根。」玄德曰：「若殺此人，恐降者人人自危；望軍師恕之。」孔明指魏延曰：「吾今饒汝性命。汝可盡忠報主，勿生異心，若生異心，我好歹取汝首級。」

魏延喏喏連聲而退。黃忠薦劉表姪劉磐，——現在攸縣閒居。——玄德取回，教掌長沙郡。四郡己平，玄德班師回荊州，改油江口為公安。自此錢糧廣盛，賢士歸之；將軍馬四散屯於隘口。

52 Both withdrew. But when the veteran leader went up on the wall to see the Governor, he was at once seized.

53 "What have I done?" cried Huang Zhong 황충.

54 "I have seen these last three days that you were fooling me. You were slack the day before yesterday, which proved you had some sinister intention. Yesterday, when your horse stumbled and he spared you, it showed that you were in league with him. And today you twice twanged a vain bowstring, while at the third shot you only hit your opponent's helmet. Dare you say there is no secret understanding in all this? If I do not put you to death, it will assuredly redound to my own hurt."

55 Han Xuan 한현 ordered Huang Zhong to be executed outside the city gate. Han Xuan also met the intercession of the officers by saying, "Anyone who pleads for the condemned shall be regarded as in the plot."

56 The executioners had hustled the old man out of the city and the sword was in the air and on the point of descending, when a man suddenly dashed in, cut down the lictor, and rescued Huang Zhong.

57 "Huang Zhong is our bulwark!" shouted he. "To destroy him is to destroy the Changsha people. This Governor is too fierce and cruel, too lightly values good people, and is too arrogant toward his officers. We ought rather to kill him, and those who will, let them follow me."

58 All eyes turned toward this bold speaker, who was bronzed and had eyes like the Cowherd's star. Some of them knew him as Wei Yan 위연, a native of Yiyang 의양. He would have followed Liu Bei from Xiangyang but, unable to come up with him, had gone into the service of Han Xuan. Han Xuan took exception to his arrogant carriage and lack of polish and neglected him. And so Wei Yan had remained in the city without office.

59 After the rescue of Huang Zhong, Wei Yan called upon the people to make an end of the Governor. He waved his arm and shouted to the people. Soon he had a following of several hundreds. Huang Zhong could not stop them. In a very short time, Wei Yan had dashed up on the wall, and Han Xuan lay dead. Taking his head, Wei Yan rode off out of the city to lay the bloodstained trophy at the feet of Guan Yu, who forthwith went into the city to restore confidence.

60 When the people were all quiet, Guan Yu sent to request Huang Zhong to come to see him, but the old general pleaded illness.

61 Next Guan Yu sent the good news to his brother and to Zhuge Liang and asked them to come.

62 Soon after Guan Yu had left to capture Changsha, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang had followed him up with supports in case of need. While on the march, a black flag was furled backwards and a crow flew over from north to south croaking thrice as it passed.

63 "What good or evil things do these omens presage?" asked Liu Bei.

64 With hands hidden within his long sleeves, Zhuge Liang performed a rapid calculation on his fingers of the auspices and replied, "Changsha is taken and a great leader mastered. We shall know soon after noon."

65 Sure enough a simple soldier presently came galloping along with the welcome tidings of the capture of the city, and saying that the two city warriors who had aided them were near waiting the arrival of Liu Bei. Soon after they arrived, Liu Bei entered the city, where he was escorted to the magistracy and heard the recital of Huang Zhong's deeds.

66 Liu Bei went in person to Huang Zhong's house and inquired for him, whereupon Huang Zhong came forth and yielded formally. Huang Zhong requested to be permitted to bury the remains of the late Governor on the east of the city.

67
Lofty as is heaven above earth was the spirit of the general, 
Who, even in his old age, suffered sorrows in the south; 
Cheerfully had he approached death, with no thought of resentment, 
But, bowing before the conqueror, he hung his head and was ashamed. 
Praise the sword, gleaming snow-white, and the glory of super-human bravery, 
Consider the mail-clad steed snuffing the wind and rejoicing in the battle, 
That warrior's name shall stand high and its brightness be undiminished, 
While the cold moon sheds her light on the waters of River Xiang.

68 Liu Bei was generous toward the veteran leader, who had come under his banner, and was grateful for the service of Wei Yan. He made both of them Van Leaders.

74 Having given in with good grace, Huang Zhong 황충 introduced a nephew of Liu Biao 유표, named Liu Pan 유반, then living in Yuxian 유현 near by. Liu Bei gave Liu Pan the governorship of Changsha.

70 All being tranquil at the four territories, Liu Bei and his army returned to Jingzhou City. The name of Youkou 유강구 was changed to Gongan 공안, and soon all was prosperous. Able people from all sides came to assist in the administration. Guards were placed at strategic points.
