After Liu Pei and Sun Ch'üan united their forces and defeated Tsau Tsau at Ch'ih Pi,
Liu Pei used the opportunity to attempt capturing the Ching province. After
Jang Fei and Chao Yun conquered Ling Ling and Kuei Yeng, it was then Guan Yu's
turn to take over Chang Sha county. Before he left, Guan Yu was warned by
Chuge Lieng about Huang Jong, a great archer serving under the county's
governing officer, Han Hsüan. Even though his master was pathetic, Huang Jong
was so skillful that he could use a bow with either hand, and had such sharp
aim that he could hit a target from one hundred steps away.
After Guan Yu's army arrived, Yeng Ling, one of Han Hsüan's generals, decided
to challenge Guan Yu. The result was that he more or less handed his own head
to Guan Yu. In the end, Huang Jong went to the battlefield and fought Guan Yu
in a duel. Yet after an entire day of fighting, neither emerged victorious.
At one point, Huang Jong's horse threw him off, giving Guan Yu the chance to
kill him. However, Guan Yu thought this would be unfair so he released Huang Jong,
telling him to fetch a good horse before they finished their fight.
On the third day of their duel, Huang Jong had the chance to snipe Guan Yu
from afar, but remembering Guan Yu's mercy from the previous day, he purposely
fired his arrow in such a way that it only pierced Guan Yu's helmet. Seeing
this, Han Hsüan mistook their fight as an act, thinking Huang Jong was ready to
betray him. When Huang Jong returned to the camp, Han Hsüan ordered his soldiers
to behead the innocent man. Luckily, K'uei Yen saved Huang Jong and slayed Han Hsüan.
Following this, he opened the gates and welcomed in Guan Yu's army. After that,
Huang Jong joined the ranks of Liu Pei.
Later, when Liu Pei waged war against Sun Ch'üan and the Kingdom of Wu to avenge
Guan Yu and Jang Fei, Huang Jong came along despite his ripe age of 75. Sadly,
he was careless, falling into a trap, being surrounded and wounded by arrows.
Though Kuan Hsing and Chang Pao saved him, he died from his wounds that night.
A general should be prepared to die on the battlefield. Huang Jong died where
he desired to die. He was indeed an amazing man!
