Three Kingdoms: The Guan Family's Rebellious Son, Long Blessing Jing Xiang

Chapter 109 Underestimating Guan Yu, this is not strong, but really stupid
Under the gloomy sky, a candle was lit inside the house.

There were letterheads and a few sketches on the table. Cao Ren took out the corresponding engraving from the cabinet and printed them on the letterhead.

The information conveyed by "Wei Spy" is vividly presented:
——"The van can stop the cavalry from charging."

——"Wooden cattle and horses can walk on the rugged and dangerous roads by themselves, and transport military supplies."

——"Liannu, ten rounds in a row, within thirty steps, can kill a strong bull at once!"

——"These three weapons are worthy of divine weapons, General Wen Yuan must be on guard."

——"If such arms fall into the hands of the Sun-Liu Alliance, it will definitely...become a serious problem in Cao Wei's heart!"

These words passed into Cao Ren's eyes one by one.

This gave him a shocking feeling.

In Jiangling, the "Wei spy", that is, the shopkeeper of the "Changxin" restaurant, code-named "Nightingale", is the deputy of the military commander of Cao Wei's "intelligence agency".

Responsible for collecting Jiangling intelligence and reporting it to Cao Cao.

He was directly responsible to Cao Cao.

Because Cao Cao has been in Hanzhong for the past two years...

Therefore, "Nightingale" was ordered to hand over the information directly to Cao Ren, the clan brother who was stationed in Jingzhou, and he was the governor of everything in Jingzhou.

And "Nightingale" was able to become the vice-president of the military division because of his rigor.

Since he wrote it like this, it is definitely not a fabrication.

"Berning, what do you think?"

Cao Ren asked Man Chong beside him.

As the character Cao Cao specially sent to assist Cao Ren in Xiangfan, Man Chong's sinister eyes were still staring at the letter.

It was as if he had been thinking over and over again in his mind.

"'Nightingale' is an old man of the military commander. The general should trust his eyesight. Come to think of it...the so-called 'partial carriage', 'wooden cow and horse', and 'continuous crossbow' will definitely be of great importance in the upcoming Xiangfan battlefield! The general must be guarded!"

Cao Ren stroked the letter, and murmured: "Brother is in Hanzhong now, rectifying troops and raising rations. This is a critical period for going south to Bashu. This Xiangfan battlefield, in this dry season, we must hold on!"

"What does the general mean... to join the fight for this batch of ordnance?"

"No..." Cao Ren suddenly turned his head, his eyes were full of brilliance, and his momentum was like a fire gushing out: "Businessmen are chasing profit, so there is no need to fight for this armament head-on. Is that the restaurant?"

This…

Man Chong understood, "General Zixiao intends to disintegrate from within?"

"Hahaha..." Cao Ren said with a smile, "Take defense as offense and wait for the opportunity to move. There are so many merchants in the team? How can we not find a person who is greedy and unscrupulous?"

Speaking of this, Cao Ren told Man Chong, "This letter, come and go, make sure that Nightingale asks about this merchant's hiding place!"

"Also... that Liannu is portable and portable, and he tried to steal one. I don't believe it. No one in our Huanghuang Northern Territory can imitate the mere Liannu?"

Speaking of this, Cao Ren's pupils shine brightly...

It seemed that he was full of confidence in this arrangement.

He was full of favors, his eyeballs rolled, and he asked: "General...you and the general, do you want to report this matter to him as well?"

this…

Hearing the name "Cao Chun", Cao Ren's eyes showed some meaningful color, and after thinking for a while, he waved his hand.

"Don't tell him yet."

Cao Ren seemed to be discouraged all of a sudden.

He murmured in his heart:
——"Zihe and these five thousand tiger and leopard riders are strong, but they are too proud..."

——"Underestimate Guan Yu, this is not strong, but stupid! 』

...

...

Guan Yu's study was very quiet.

He looked at Mi Fang in front of him. "You mean... give up this batch of ordnance?"

"Yeah, what can I do if I don't give up?" Mi Fang looked filled with righteous indignation, "Is there any reason for this? Can the laws of Jiangling City control it?"

He opened his mouth like a cannonball, "Since the fourth son opened his mouth, the price of 15 hu is the sky-high price. If Guan Gong wants to sell it again, how much can he get? 20 hu of grain? The harvest of the four counties in Jingnan this year...none of them is 20 hu. ...Guan Gong can't just make life in Jiangling City just because of this batch of armaments, right?"

indeed…

As Guan Lin said before, his father is a poor man!
The reason why Jiangling City was able to make the Northern Expedition was entirely because there were 3 Guan Yu and the Guan family army in the six counties of Jingzhou. They tightened their belts, and they could make do with it...

But once the ordnance is purchased, it will be different.

Then it's not that the belt has been tightened, it is almost sold.

but…

Guan Yu's eyes flickered, and what he was thinking in his heart... was not actually how much this batch of ordnance would sell for.

Nor is it the "big injustice" that Guan Yu should be his son.

Instead, Yunqi drove up the price of this batch of ordnance to such a high price in one go.

——"What kind of medicine is sold in this kid's gourd?" 』

Out of curiosity about Yunqi's behavior, Guan Yu was interested in going deep and wading through this muddy water.

——"No matter how bad it is, this money and food was cheated by my son... If he cheated, he cheated, so he is not an outsider!" 』

With this in mind, Guan Yu took a deep breath, "This batch of military equipment is very important to attack Xiangfan during the dry season. Zifang boldly went to talk to the merchant and reported to the merchant, and reported 20 hu! Guan didn't believe it, 20 hu I can’t take this batch of ordnance!”

This is, is it up?
Mi Fang felt that the whole person was stupid, he felt that he was a big fool.

this thing...

Just this...can you sell 20 hu grains?

Although it was not his own money, it was taken from the granary of the prefect's mansion after all. He felt distressed...he wanted to cry.

"Yun Chang, this... you can't be arrogant!"

Before Mi Fang could finish speaking.

"Zi Fang!" Guan Yu said with even more earnestness, "I know that Zi Fang's side is difficult, and Jiangling's treasury and granary are also difficult, but Zi Fang, have you ever thought about how my elder brother and your elder brother have ever had it easy? ?”

Guan Yu's eldest brother is Liu Bei, and Mi Fang's eldest brother is Mi Zhu. They are both in Yizhou, Chengdu!

"People say, 'Without Xiangyang, Jingzhou is not enough to use military force; without Hanzhong, Bashu is not enough to survive danger; regardless of the middle, Henan cannot live in Henan, this is the reason for this situation', now that Cao Cao with hundreds of thousands of people, is watching Hanzhong covetously , have to look forward to Shu!"

"If our army can't contain Jingzhou, what kind of predicament will Guan and Zifang's elder brothers face? It's hard for us, it's even harder for them, it's hard for Jingzhou, and it's not easy for Yizhou!"

This…

Hearing this, Mi Fang didn't persuade her anymore.

He knew... Guan Yu moved Liu Bei and Mi Zhu out, and he couldn't persuade him.

In addition, the father and son of the Guan family were at war with each other, and the fourth son even wanted Guan Yu to apologize to him in front of the people in the city, expecting the fourth son to buy it and lend it to Guan Gong, that is a fantasy.

"Never mind, whatever..."

While shaking her head, Mi Fang stood up, her plump body propped up...it seemed quite difficult.

After standing still, he sighed angrily.

"Forget it, Yun Chang has the final say in Jingzhou!"

"If you buy it, just buy it...just treat it, just pretend that the three counties of Changsha are gone at the beginning of September, and this year's Jingnan's land tax will also be confiscated...that's all, that's all!"

Indeed, if at the beginning of September, Sun Quan raided Jingnan unexpectedly, and the three counties of Changsha, Guiyang, and Jiangxia were gone, then would there still be the Hammer Field Fu?The 20 dendrobium grains were in vain.

think so...

To some extent, it made Mi Fang feel better.

On the other hand, Guan Yu closed his red phoenix eyes, thinking slightly in his heart.

——『Yunqi, there is only so much you can do for your father! 』

And Ma Liang hiding behind the curtain.

After listening to the conversation between Guan Yu and Mi Fang, I couldn't help but feel emotional.

——"Guan Gong... being a father is not easy!"

...

...

On the edge of the Han River, the river is wide and turbulent.

In "Confucius' Family Talk", there is a sage's emotion about the surging river.

——"The water from the river to Jiangjin cannot be waded without an ark to shelter from the wind."

From this, the turbulent flow of the Han River can be seen!
At this moment, Guan Lin, he and Lu Youjiao galloped around the bank of the Han River for a while, and finally stopped at a stone pavilion. The two horses walked slowly one after the other. magnificent.

The Han River is similar to the Jing River. July, August, and September are flood seasons, especially in the middle and lower reaches. July and August have the most flood peaks, which is the main flood season of the Yangtze River.

But... once the dry season in October comes, the water in the Han River and Jing River will fade away quickly, and in the end, the horses gallop in the valley like walking on flat ground.

"The dry season is coming..." Guan Lin sighed. "time is limited…"

Lu You stayed behind and dared not speak. Three days had passed since Guan Lin reported the 15 hu of grain.

Just three days...

The Jiangling City here can be said to be undercurrents.

"Tell me..." Guan Lin turned around and looked at Lu Youjiao.

Lu Youjiao had already prepared, and hurriedly said: "The Jiangnan woman originally said that she would offer twice the price of the fourth son, but in the end, she couldn't offer that much, and the price of 20 hu was revealed."

Speaking of this, Guan Lin interrupted: "Have you figured out the identity of this Jiangnan woman?"

"I did find something." Lu Youjiao shook his head first, then nodded, "In the past few days, apart from negotiating with 'You Tanzhi' to buy armaments, this woman from Jiangnan has only met his husband. His husband...recently contacted many merchants in the Jiaozhou area, as well as merchants from Soochow, saying that many merchant ships are arriving here, and it seems that they plan to...transport the money in batches."

"That's it?" Guan Lin muttered in his heart.

What is this? It is nothing!
Suddenly, Lu Youjiao felt the gang leader's dissatisfaction with the beggar gang's collection of information.

Hastily said: "For this reason... our beggar gang specially sent brothers to check these merchants and got a piece of information."

"what?"

"The merchants that the man contacted are all related to the 'Lu' family in the four major families of Soochow Wu: Gu, Lu, Zhu, and Zhang?"

Following Lu Youjiao's words, Guan Lin's eyes narrowed.

When thinking of the Lu family, the first thing he thought of was the "company" - Lu Xun Lu Shenjiang.

Secondly, what he thought of was the one who was "carrying oranges" - Lu Ji.

It seems that there is a land pit in the back...

wrong…

It was Lu Kang.

According to ancient records, Lu Kang is quite capable of fighting.

He also "falls in love and kills each other" with Cai Wenji's younger sister Cai Zhenji's son Yang Hu!
Of course, this is a matter of the "Jin Dynasty". Compared with Wei, Shu, and Wu in the Three Kingdoms period, it is another story.

And these are not the point, the point is... the Jiangnan woman who bought the ordnance is related to the "Lu family"...

This thing suddenly made so much sense.

"Send more people and keep an eye on them," Guan Lin ordered.

Lu Youjiao nodded repeatedly.

After talking about the Jiangnan woman, Lu Youjiao changed the subject, "Besides the Jiangnan woman, there is another faction who is extremely generous. After the leader made an offer, he found 'Shi Huolong' the same day and asked how much he could sell. Shi Huolong They casually said 25 hu, who would have thought that they agreed without any bargaining... they only asked when they could deliver the goods!"

call…

Guan Lin exhaled softly, muttering in his heart.

——"The rich people of the Three Kingdoms! 』

Before Guan Lin could continue to ask, Lu Youjiao's words came out again, "During the conversation with them, a young gentleman slipped his mouth after drinking and said...they are from Jiaozhou, and his father is from Jiaozhou. Seven governors!"

"Shi Bian?" Guan Lin blurted out immediately...

"That's it..." Lu Youjiao hurriedly said: "This is after drinking for three rounds. After getting drunk, if the young master leaked his words, his father will call Shi Bian!"

——"Be good...I didn't expect the Jiaozhou Taxibian family to get involved too"

Guan Lin narrowed his eyes again.

Think of Shi Bian...

Guan Lin's first impression was that this old boy had the same hobbies as his father Guan Yu, and both loved to read "Zuoshi Chunqiu", and they would always pick up a copy of "Spring and Autumn", as if this was the only way to show their aggressiveness!

However, what my father Guan Yu learned from Chunqiu is to pretend...

What the scholars have learned is that they use the Confucian idea of ​​"benevolence" to help the common people extensively.

And that's why...

During the war in the Central Plains, a large number of people fled to Jiaozhou to develop the local area...

It also promoted the development of Jiaozhou's economy and culture, and most importantly, the scholars became very rich!

and this…

——Good thing!
Anyway, I didn't intend to really sell this batch of ordnance, and I'd like to see one more as a gift!
"Did he promise to buy it?"

"Already collecting money...It will be delivered in three to five days. However, this family has a condition. The place of the transaction must be at the junction of Jiaozhou and Jingzhou. As long as it is the junction, it can be anywhere."

"Promise him!" Guan Lin laughed. "Remember, let him send the deposit first."

Speaking of this, Guan Lin suddenly had an idea. He put his chin in his mouth and said quickly: "You might as well tell that Jiangnan woman that the place where we deliver the goods to her is also Jiaozhou!"

ah... ah...

Hearing this, Lu Youjiao was taken aback.

He doesn't understand, what does this mean, boss?
But I raised my head, but didn't dare to ask...

Guan Lin saw through his thoughts and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, do as I say, don't forget, the deposit is also charged!"

Speaking of here…

Guan Lin changed the subject, "Where's my father? Did he bid for this batch of arms..."

"It's also... 20 hu grains!"

Lu Youjiao's answer surprised Guan Lin.

——"Father, you are promising!" 』

——"You are so poor that you dare to give 20 hu of grain?The [-] Guan family troops under your command won't survive this year, will they? 』

I thought so in my heart, but said it out of my mouth.

"Is this what my father said?"

"Prefect Mi personally promised..." Lu Youjiao said truthfully. "He said... he was ordered by Guan Gong, but when he quoted the price, he somewhat gritted his teeth..."

Ha ha…

It's no wonder you don't gnash your teeth!

Guan Lin smiled, and he said bluntly: "It's so good, the deposits of the three families have all agreed, my father's place...cough cough..."

"...My own person, give him face for a while, and no deposit will be charged!"

People say, shop around.

But Guan Lin is selling a batch of ordnance to three companies...

——This is simply three times the joy!

However, he thought it was three families.

Never thought that Lu Youjiao's words were not finished yet.

"Master, actually... there are two more!"

What?
Guan Lin was stunned for a moment, daring to love is not triple happiness, it is five times happiness!

He smiled and asked Lu Youjiao.

——"Can you be sure which one belongs to Cao Wei?"

...
