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

Chapter 13 Don't be angry, my own!
The time for the "Wu" test is after lunch.

Now, it's time for dinner.

The sun shines in the courtyard of Guan Mansion, and shines into the study through the windows.

Guan Yu had a look of melancholy on his cheeks. He stared at the two dishes, one meat and one vegetarian, but he couldn't whet his appetite.

Because... the staple food is gone.

The pancakes that had been steamed in the kitchen in the morning disappeared inexplicably.

"A group of wine bags and rice bags!" Guan Yu uttered a sentence. He was already angry because of Guan Lin's "made up" answer during the "Kaowen", but now this can be regarded as "the leak in the house happens to rain all night", I'm not happy It all came together.

Simply, Guan Yu pushed the two dishes aside and lost his appetite at all.

Zhou Cang on the side is also very helpless, Guan Yu likes to eat cakes.

For this reason, Zhou Cang specially ordered the cook to steam a large pot of pancakes early in the morning.

I never thought... By noon, the pot was opened, but the cake inside was gone.

Surprised or not?

Not surprised?

Someone was so bold as to steal in the "Guan Mansion"?
Zhou Cang has already ordered someone to investigate, and he dared not make a sound until the investigation was clear.

Instead, a clear voice came from outside the house.

"Who made Guan Gong so angry?"

As soon as these words came out, Guan Yu and Zhou Cang raised their eyes. The person who came was a refined man who had just reached his thirties, with a handsome face, and a handful of 'white hairs' mixed in his eyebrows were particularly eye-catching.

This person is none other than the state of Jingzhou, the fourth son of the Ma family - 'White Eyebrow' Ma Liang!
The giants "Cai Family" and "Kui Family" who were different from the first echelon in Jingzhou surrendered to Cao Cao;

The four families of Pang, Ma, Xiang, and Xi in the second echelon are all loyal to Liu Bei, and the most promising of the Ma family is this "white eyebrow" Ma Liang.

And ever since Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang brought Jingzhou into Shu, the Jingzhou area has been particularly lacking in counselors.

Ma Liang was specially left to Guan Yu by Zhuge Liang, and now he serves as Guan Yu's military adviser, and the relationship between the two is extremely good.

"It's just a small matter, don't bother Baimei." Guan Yu glanced at the two dishes, one meat and one vegetarian, and said in the usual tone: "At this hour, Baimei probably has important business to come here, right?"

Ma Liang noticed the two dishes on the table, "General, have you eaten yet?"

"Don't eat now." Guan Yu prevaricated casually, and his face became more serious: "Speak, you, I don't want to go around the corner."

this…

Ma Liang paused, but said truthfully: "Just now, some 'voices' came out of the market? It's about Jingzhou, it's about the demarcation of the Xiangshui River, and the relationship is very important. I don't dare to make a claim, so I came to see the general."

Xiangshui demarcation?

When these four words came out, Guan Yu's eyes moved down, and his eyes stopped on the table. The bamboo slips here are the answer sheets of all the children when they took the essay test just now...

After hearing Ma Liang's words, it is inevitable that Guan Yu will think of Guan Lin's answer about the Xiangshui River as the boundary when he "Kao Wen" just now...

Especially the sentence "Three counties, dogs are not allowed..."

Thinking of this, Guan Yu was full of anger.

——This villain?

——Call who is a dog?
"Guan Gong, this is..." Seeing the change in Guan Yu's expression, Ma Liang asked cautiously.

"It's okay, you continue to talk." Guan Yu suppressed the anger in his heart.

However, he still repeatedly muttered in his heart:
—Don't be angry, dear!

——Let him have a long memory in the martial arts test later!
——Hmph, I'm so angry!
Looking at Guan Yu's bluish and red cheeks.

Ma Liang's words came out again, "There is a lot of discussion in the market, saying that Jiangdong wants to attack Jingzhou, and Sun Quan's plan is to 'build plank roads in the open, and store Chencang in the dark'. He clearly sent Zhuge Jin to ask Guan Gong to return the three counties, and he has already raised troops behind his back. , in a vain attempt to sneak attack and win the three counties...Guan Gong, the so-called "no wind, no waves!"

Well…

Hearing this, Guan Yu's eyes froze.

And subconsciously, what he thought of was still Guan Lin's answer sheet...

That's right, there is a sentence before "Three counties, dogs are not allowed", "Xiangshui is the boundary, if the father doesn't give it, can't Sun Quan snatch it?"

抢…

This is consistent with the rumors in the market.

It was hard for Guan Yu not to think of these two things together.

No wind, no wave…

Yes, there are no waves without wind!

Suddenly, his cheeks became complicated.

Ma Liang noticed that Guan Gong's expression was a bit strange today, so he quickly opened his mouth: "Guan Gong? Are you all right? Do you need to hire a doctor?"

Guan Yu didn't answer, but retrieved Guan Lin's answer sheet from the bamboo slips and handed it directly to Ma Liang.

"White eyebrows and look at this..."

Ma Liang took it and quickly unfolded...

His eyes looked into it, and it was fine if he didn't look at it. Once he saw it, the first sentence attracted him deeply.

——"Empty talk harms the country, and hard work rejuvenates the country!"

This... What a big tone!
And under these eight big characters, there is a column of small characters in seal script.

——"Xiangshui is the boundary, and if my father doesn't give it to me, can't Sun Quan take it away? In the three counties, dogs are not allowed, but now that there is an answer, the city is gone!"

This is…

Ma Liang just wanted to ask a question.

Guan Yu's voice had already been heard, "Today's examination at Chenshi, this is my son Yunqi's answer sheet, and the topic is 'Demarcation of the Xiangshui River'..."

This…

Ma Liang paused, his eyeballs rolling again and again.

He seemed to be lost in thought all of a sudden, and after a long time, his eyes finally settled, and he said with emotion: "Guan Gong...this Mr. Yunqi answered the paper, although his words are rough, his reasoning is not rough!"

As soon as this remark came out, Guan Yu was taken aback.

Ma Liang's words continued, "On the way here just now, I was thinking that there are rumors and rumors in the market, and every word and every word points to Jiangdong's surprise attack on the three eastern counties of Jingzhou. The so-called no wind, no waves. Guan Gong, the heart of defense is indispensable, and the general must Defend!"

"Furthermore, Jiangdong has recently assembled countless famous generals and hundreds of thousands of troops in Stone City. It is said to the outside world that it is the Northern Expedition Cao's bandits, attacking Hefei, but... what if the goal is not Hefei but Jingzhou? How far is Jiangxia from Stone City? By water However, from morning to evening, Changsha and Guiyang are only two or three days’ journey away. What if this is the plan of ‘building plank roads in the open and keeping warehouses in the dark’? Then...the three east counties of Jingzhou are in danger!”

hiss…

After hearing what Ma Liang said, Guan Yu took a deep breath.

Ma Liang is a talent that Zhuge Liang is extremely optimistic about.

His talent and strategy Guan Yu is trustworthy, if others say so, it’s fine, he said so...

that…

Guan Yu couldn't help looking at Guan Lin's "answer sheet" again...

And Ma Liang's gaze was also fixed on it.

He spoke again: "Guan Gong, let's look at this sentence, 'The Xiangshui River is the boundary, if the father doesn't give it to me, can't Sun Quan snatch it?'"

Ma Liang continued to explain: "As Mr. Yunqi said, in the current situation, Uncle Liu's foothold in Bashu is not stable, and Cao Cao occupies Hanzhong and goes south to Bashu at any time. Under such a situation, why is it not the best time for Jiangdong to take back Jingzhou?"

"At this time, even if Jiangdong and Sun Quan "soldiers first and then courtesy", what can Guan Gong do if he sneaks into the three east counties of Jingzhou? In this special season, it is impossible for Uncle Liu to break with Jiangdong, and it is even more impossible for the Sun Liu alliance to collapse because of these three counties...In the end , these three counties can only be lost for no reason, let it go..."

"On the other hand...if we wait a little longer, until Uncle Liu is firmly established in Yizhou, and Jing and Yi are united as one, he will have no chance in Jiangdong. So...if I were Sun Quan, I would definitely make a desperate attack on Changsha, Guiyang, and Jiangxia As long as the three counties can be defeated, these three counties will completely belong to Jiangdong!"

Speaking of this, Ma Liang's eyeballs blinked again and again.

He aggravated his tone and said with emotion again:

——"As expected of being the son of Guan Gong, Mr. Yunqi, see you!"
