Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 463 Juan'er's words
On the outskirts of Xudu, in the land of Rangshan.

There is not a shred of cloud in the sky, a scorching sun overhead, no wind, and all the trees are listlessly and lazily standing there.

The army led by Liu Bei and Guan Yu has arrived at Rangshan, and many beads of sweat can be clearly seen on the forehead of every soldier.

"Brother...Young brother, I have something to ask for!"

Guan Yu, who was riding on the horse, seemed to have something on his mind.

"Yun Chang, but it's okay to say!" Liu Bei waved his hand, signaling that he doesn't need to hide.

Guan Yu paused, hesitated for a moment, and still opened his mouth and said: "Although this sneak attack is to help the Han family, it is not so upright after all. I just hope that the eldest brother will welcome the emperor away, and don't hurt those innocent people!"

Liu Bei is based on benevolence and righteousness, how could he hurt the people?
It's just that the so-called "Limin" in Guan Yu's mouth meant something else.

"Yun Chang is talking about Cao Cao's family, Yin Lin's family, right?" Liu Bei asked.

Guan Yu opened his mouth, but he swallowed the words again, and remained silent after all.

Liu Bei could understand this expression. Guan Yu was grateful for Cao Cao's kindness to him in the past, and also grateful for Yin Linrang's credit for him, and let him go and let him go south!

"Alas..." Liu Bei sighed inwardly.

"What did the second brother say? How can I, Liu Bei, be a villain who robs people's wives and daughters?"

In fact, Liu Bei's character set does not allow him to rob Cao Cao's family and Lu Yu's family, which will reduce his so-called "benevolence and righteousness" a lot.

Guan Yu looked up, his eyes full of gratitude.

at this time.

"Da da da…"

A group of thousands of cavalry was galloping towards them.

Seeing the visitor clearly, both Liu Bei and Guan Yu's eyes narrowed. Isn't this the third brother Yide?

They were subconsciously startled, logically speaking... the third brother Zhang Fei should have joined forces with Fu's family to break through Xu Capital City!
how…

Before Liu Bei could ask, he noticed the wounds on Zhang Fei's shoulders and arms, and the blood was everywhere...the color of them had gradually turned black, as if the third brother had been hit by an arrow, and it was a poisonous arrow.

"Third brother? Why did you suffer such a serious injury?"

Liu Bei got off his horse immediately, walked up to Zhang Fei, and held his arm carefully, for fear of... hurting him!

"Hey..."

Zhang Fei waved his hand generously, and immediately yelled: "Grandma, I don't know what hidden weapon the Longxiao Battalion used? There was no warning at all, and it wasn't until within a hundred steps... that countless extremely thin crossbow arrows were suddenly released, and I dodged Not enough, suffered a dark loss..."

This…

Hearing this, Guan Yu's immutable paralyzed face was also touched. He stared at Zhang Fei's wound, the scratches left by the crossbow arrows, it was shocking!
"Brother, I heard about it when I was in Cao Ying.

In the Longxiao camp that Lu Yu was in charge of in the Cao camp, there was a workshop called the Forging Workshop, which was extremely mysterious...

Those armors that are invulnerable to swords and guns, and those war halberds that cut iron like mud, all come from this forge. I heard that the head of the forge is Cao Cao's favorite eldest daughter, Cao Mu... I think, this time... must be the forge. What kind of hidden weapon has been developed, and Yide has been recruited! "

Guan Yu blurted out his words.

"Alas..." Zhang Fei let out a long sigh. "If I know that they don't talk about martial arts like this, I'll be more careful and don't rush so far forward. This will be good...it will ruin the big brother's big event!"

"It's okay..." Although Liu Bei felt regretful, he and Zhang Fei are "true love". Immediately...he greeted: "Quickly, hurry up and send it to the army doctor, and detoxify my third brother!"

speak here.

Guan Yu raised his eyes. "Brother? Then Xu Capital, will you still attack?"

"Brother...Second brother!" Hearing the attack, Zhang Fei yelled again: "If you want to attack the city, you have to be careful of the crossbow arrows. I heard from the Long Xiao camp that they said that Lu Yu would have gone to the elder brother to sneak attack. We have specially prepared [-] crossbow bolts, just waiting for us to attack the city!"

Well…

Liu Bei and Guan Yu looked at each other.

Liu Bei continued to ask Zhang Fei. "Yide? That's what the soldiers of the Longxiao Battalion really said?"

"It's absolutely true..." Don't look at the injuries and poisoning, but Zhang Fei's blood is thick... He looks like a normal person, in fact, he also hurts, but he can still bear these pains!

Hear the answer in the affirmative.

Liu Bei said with emotion: "It seems that Xu Capital City really has no protection."

"Ah... what?" Zhang Fei asked in surprise.

Guan Yu stroked his beard, nodded and said: "Third brother, think about it, if Yinlin really expected that I would attack Xudu later, he would definitely deploy it secretly, and invite you into the urn, how could he tell Yide you? The knights of the Longxiao camp lied to you and led you to retreat!"

Oh…

Only now did Zhang Fei realize that he was too stupid and naive.

At that time, it is time to continue attacking!
Fortunately, now, missed the best time.

"Brother? Are you still attacking?" Guan Yu asked again.

Liu Bei shook his head. "Third brother's vanguard army is blocked, it is bound to... the rebellion in the city has subsided, the attack is of course to be attacked, but it is no longer possible to win by surprise!"

"For today's plan, we will first hide here in Rang Mountain. Firstly, let the soldiers who are marching in a hurry rest for half a day. Secondly...after waiting for half a day, our army's siege equipment such as luggage and ladders will arrive, and then attack Xudu by force. Not too late!"

"Then..." Guan Yu asked again. "What if Cao Jun from Guandu comes back to help?"

"No!" Liu Bei narrowed his eyes and said firmly. "I've already counted the time for Zhunguandu to rush to rescue Xudu, and the decisive battle of the Battle of Guandu is still being fought... Cao Cao can't come back so fast, we still have plenty of time!"

Speaking of this, Liu Bei paused.

"Second brother, we need to be more patient...the most urgent thing is to heal the third brother, and... let the [-] soldiers hide in Rangshan, so that Cao Jun's scouts can't find out our position! Wait until dawn tomorrow before attacking! "

"I see!" Guan Yu nodded and went to make arrangements.

In the field of commanding the army, Guan Yu is still extremely good. As long as the tasks assigned to him by Liu Bei are extremely difficult, he can also complete them.

only…

Faintly, Guan Yu had an ominous premonition in his heart, and things would change sooner or later!
He was really worried, and things would change later!

But at least...Yin Lin wasn't here, if he was, this night...would have killed tens of thousands of people!
...

...

Xu Capital City, Xiahou Mansion!
Xia Houjuan had just returned when he was surrounded by his two elder brothers, Xiahouheng and Xiahouba.

——"Sister Juan, this time...how dangerous? Do you know?"

——"How many times have I told you that the war is in turmoil now, even Xu Capital City can't take it lightly, and you are not allowed to collect firewood in the future!"

——"It's just some firewood. Our Xiahou Mansion doesn't lack these... If you make a mistake, sister Juan, how will we explain it to our father and mother?"

Xiahouheng, Xiahouba... You speak a sentence, and I speak a sentence.

You are not allowed to go to Rangshan to collect firewood. This matter... They have mentioned it to Xia Houjuan countless times.

It's just that Xia Houjuan is used to it. She has come from hard times, and if she does nothing like those wealthy girls, she will feel uncomfortable!

precisely…

It is precisely because of Xia Houjuan's well-behaved character and thrifty quality that almost all the sons of Xiahou's family treat her as their own sister, even if they are not Xiahouyuan's own.

Now think about it, the Nancheng Gate rebelled, the gate was wide open, and Zhang Fei led a cavalry attack...

What if, what if sister Juan'er is being kidnapped by Zhang Fei, then...then...

Xia Houheng and Xia Houba dare not think...

The consequences are simply not something they can bear.

——"The two elder brothers don't want to blame me, Juan'er knows it's wrong..."

——"It's just that the two elder brothers need to thank Sister Mu for me, and... there is also the son named Zhuge Kongming. I heard that he and the two elder brothers are both Tai students!"

What…

Zhuge Kongming!

As soon as this name came out, Xia Houheng and Xia Houba were startled, and they looked at each other... What they subconsciously felt was incredible.

They have heard about the situation outside the city...

More than ten Long Xiao cavalry retreated Zhang Fei's thousands of cavalry!

Considering the prowess and prestige of the Longxiao Battalion, even though this is a bit unbelievable, it is still acceptable after all.

But... the one who saved my sister?

Was it "Zhuge Kongming"?
As students of the same class, "Zhuge Kongming" and the others are too familiar with them. Except for being more dexterous and proficient in woodwork in "Hundred Craftsmanship", it seems that other aspects are mediocre!

Even... When it comes to martial arts, Xia Houba feels that he can beat him a hundred times!

Just him?

Saved sister Juan'er?

Xia Houba rolled his eyes. "Sister Juan? The grace of saving your life is not a joke..."

"It is indeed him..." Xia Houjuan's tone was quite firm. "He was the one who rescued me and Sister Mu at Rangshan, and when we were about to arrive at the South City Gate, he was the one who took more than a dozen Longxiao knights to cover me and Sister Mu to evacuate... If so...if it was the Longxiao battalion to retreat from the enemy If so, then... must... must have something to do with this Zhuge Kongming!"

Huo…

Now, Xiahouba and Xiahouheng looked at "Zhuge Kongming" with admiration.

Unexpectedly, this young man who is not tall, not handsome, and looks a bit honest and dull, actually... bursts out with such energy at this juncture.

"By the way..." Xia Houheng remembered something. "Recently, in Taixue, 'Kong Ming' took a lot of time off from President Cai. It seems...to develop a device drawn by President Lu...I heard that he hasn't left the workshop for more than a month. Will it..."

Xia Houheng mentioned this...

Xia Houba suddenly realized.

I see…

If... if Chief Lu gave him some blueprints, and Kong Ming forged some kind of magical weapon, then... let alone retreating Zhang Fei, even if Zhang Fei was captured, they would not be surprised at all.

After all... President Lu's status in the minds of these students is too high.

at this time.

"Heng'er, Ba'er, Juan'er... Come here quickly..."

A crisp female voice came from the direction of the main hall...Xia Houheng, Xia Houba, and Xia Houjuan looked back, but it wasn't their mother Lilac, who else could it be?

At this time, Cao Cao's dream lover was wearing a green dress, with lotus steps in the wind...

With a look of urgency, his complexion was even more tense.

"Mom... what happened?"

Xia Houheng couldn't help asking.

"Your uncle came back from outside the city just now..." Ding Xiang explained: "They said... that the rebel Liu Bei brought tens of thousands of troops to attack Xudu, but... but they searched around, but... they didn't find any trace of them. , the last time it appeared was in Rangshan, and after that... it just... seemed to disappear out of thin air."

what…

With these words blurted out, Xia Houheng and Xia Houba's expressions froze.

Xia Houjuan rolled her eyes, and she asked first: "Mother? Is it very important to find the traces of these bandits?"

"Naturally!" This time... without waiting for Ding Xiang to reply, Xia Houba first explained: "The bandit soldiers suddenly disappeared, and they must have hidden themselves, and the purpose of hiding the bandit soldiers was either to rest or wait for the siege equipment... If so, if so Although it is impossible to ascertain their location, the enemy is in the dark and we are in the clear... This is a fatal blow to Xu Ducheng!"

Xia Houba is familiar with the art of war, and he is the most outstanding among the students of this year when he discusses the use of troops.

He explained eloquently, for fear that... his younger sister Xia Houjuan didn't quite understand, so... he tried to go as deep and simple as possible!
"Don't be in a daze...you are not allowed to go out now." Ding Xiang ordered. "At a time like this, please...don't cause trouble for Mr. Xun Ling!"

actually…

Ding Xiang was also very nervous. She didn't know how many defenders there were in Xu Capital City, but... just thinking about it, she knew that there couldn't be too many!
Danger…

The current situation can be said to be too late!
"Mother, don't worry..." Xia Houheng and Xia Houba cupped their hands.

Ding Xiang breathed a sigh of relief... she felt relieved a lot.

Unexpectedly, Xia Houjuan's words made Ding Xiang's mood rise to his throat again.

——"Mother, two brothers...if...if the bandits disappeared in Rangshan, maybe...maybe I know where they are hiding?"

Xia Houjuan hesitated for a moment before speaking.

ah... ah...

Exactly, it was just such a hesitation and such a sentence that made everyone here stunned!

Juaner...you know?The whereabouts of the bandits?
...

...

In the city of Xudu, in the medical office.

Zhao Rong took Zhuge Jun to stand beside Xun Yu's bed, and Xun Yu's body was already wrapped in thick bandages.

Both Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo are skilled doctors. This time, the two of them cooperated in the treatment, which made Xun Yu wake up immediately.

"I've heard all about it...Kong Ming, you've done a good job...you are indeed Lu Situ's student!"

A slight voice came out of Xun Yu's mouth. After drinking a bowl of medicinal soup, Xun Yu put the bowl on the desk beside him, boasting about Zhuge Jun incessantly.

"yes…"

Zhao Rong couldn't stop praising her. "Who would have thought that the person who retreated from the enemy this time was a young master who didn't know martial arts. I was really amazed."

"Xun Lingjun, General Zhao Miao Zan!" Zhuge Jun bowed his hands, looking extremely humble. "The only thing that can defeat the enemy is the scroll of the 'Zhuge God Crossbow' drawn by Master Lu. The disciple just combined the workshop and the forging workshop to forge it, and suddenly used it to catch the bandits by surprise!"

Godly Zhuge Crossbow...

This was the countless times that Zhuge Jun mentioned this artifact in front of Zhao Rong and Xun Yu.

Zhuge Jun even took it out and explained it carefully to Xun Yu and Zhao Rong.

Zhao Rong observed for a long time, only to feel that... such a small black box can release sixteen tailless crossbow arrows in an instant, each of which can cut iron like mud, and it is extremely sharp... It is incredible!

"Lu Situ always surprises people!" Xun Yu sighed with emotion...

He turned his head to look at Zhao Rong again.

"Kong Ming withdrew Liu Bei's vanguard army, but Liu Bei's army still has tens of thousands of people. This is the real test. Now... where is the bandit army led by Liu Bei?"

This…

Mentioning this, Zhao Rong's complexion suddenly froze.

"After the rebellion was put down, I immediately sent scouts to search for the whereabouts of Liu Bei's army, but they came back to report...Obviously, the nearby villagers saw the army appearing at Rangshan, but after exploring every road here, they still No trace of them could be found."

Well…

Hearing this, Xun Yu paused.

"Could it be possible? Can Liu Bei disappear out of thin air?"

"Rang Mountain? Did you send someone to look for the inside of Rang Mountain?"

"Rangshan is too big!" Zhao Rong said truthfully: "However, after listening to Tan Ma's talk, I almost searched it all over again...and found no trace of the bandit soldiers."

This…

Xun Yu's complexion suddenly froze. Compared with the crisis on the surface, he was more worried about the hidden dangers hidden in the dark. It is easy to hide the hidden arrows and hard to defend. Without Liu Bei's position, even if Xun Yu wants to deploy, he has no target. !

"This is not good!" Xun Yu said with emotion: "If so...if the bandit army is just hiding, recuperating, or waiting for the siege equipment, then it will be bad..."

Xun Yu is used to thinking about the worst of things.

call…

He breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was seriously injured, the situation here was constantly flashing in his mind...every detail was vividly presented.

Xun Yu said in his mouth: "At least, at least we must persist until tomorrow evening... If Cao Sikong returns to the rescue as soon as possible, he will not arrive until tomorrow evening!"

A whole day... twelve hours, the terrible twelve hours!

"Did the rebels at the south gate find anything about the assassination of me..." Xun Yu continued to ask.

"It's nothing more than those few waves of people." Zhao Rong said coldly: "I have handed over the living ones to Lord Manfu, and he is bound to be able to find out who is behind the scenes..."

Ugh…

Even if the topic was changed a bit, Xun Yu's mind was still full of Liu Bei's position.

where?Where will he be?
Compared with the mastermind behind the scenes, Liu Bei's position is undoubtedly more important!
at this time.

——"Xun Lingjun..."

A crisp female voice came from outside the medical department...

However, because of the previous assassination of Xun Yu, it is not easy to see Xun Yu now, and the soldiers stopped him immediately.

I never thought that the footsteps of the visitor disappeared.

"I am the wife of your General Xiahou? It is important to find Mr. Xun Ling this time? How dare you stop me?"

As she spoke, the woman pushed aside the arms of the soldier, and strode into the medical office with swift strides.

Xun Yu turned his head to look, but it wasn't Xia Houyuan's wife Ding Xiang, who else could it be?

And together with Dingxiang, there are Xiahouyuan's two sons——Xiahouheng and Xiahouba!

And...a petite, lovely, slim girl!

How could Xun Yu, as a minister, not know him?
This girl is none other than Xia Houyuan's niece——Xia Houjuan!

I heard that when Zhang Fei led the thieves to kill her, she was still collecting firewood in Rangshan, how dangerous...

"Unexpectedly, it was Mrs. Xiahou..."

Zhao Rong cupped his hands slightly...

Xia Houyuan is his immediate boss, Xia Houyuan's wife, so he naturally dare not neglect...

Ding Xiang took Xia Houjuan's hand and walked quickly to Xun Yu.

——"Xun Lingjun, General Zhao, the little girl said that she can find the location of the bandit soldiers!"

Ding Xiang's words are concise...

But when this word reached Xun Yu, Zhao Rong, and even Zhuge Jun, it was like five thunders roaring.

"cough…"

Xun Yu coughed lightly, and with Zhuge Jun's support, he sat up sideways. "This matter is of great importance, don't talk nonsense!"

There is no joke in the military...

Even for women!
"I... I can really find it!" Xia Houjuan said. "For five years, I have been going to Rangshan every day to collect firewood. No one is more familiar with it than me. In fact... there is a dense cave in Rangshan that is blocked by bushes. My father said that in the pre-Qin period, there would be a cave in many mountains. A cave for secret military training...if..."

"If you can't find it anywhere else, then...the bandit soldiers must be stationed in that secret cave."

...
