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

Chapter 167 Daddy, Can We Know Something?

Xiangyang City.

Niu Jin and a group of generals gathered in the lobby of the government office. Niu Jin rubbed his hands anxiously, while the other generals were also whispering.

A civil official asked: "How did you lose so quickly? During the dry season, the water level in the river is low, and the cavalry can cross the river. General Wenpin has Xiangfan cavalry in his hands, so he shouldn't be defeated like this!"

Another civil servant whispered: "Haven't you heard how General Cao Chun and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were trapped in Sunset Valley?"

It's...obvious.

The civil servant just now was startled, and hurriedly said: "What do you mean, is it the Liannu again? Is it the van again?"

At this time, Man Chong came out of the inner room in a hurry. He was obviously awakened from his sleep, his hair was tied up without a crown, he was wearing pajamas underneath, and he stepped on a pair of wooden clogs barefoot, he said anxiously.

"what happened?"

Some civil servants anxiously submitted to the military newspaper, reporting repeatedly. "I just received the Jiangxia battle report. Guan Yu led an army to seize Jingjiang, and at noon today, he fought Wenpin's soldiers and horses at Jingjiang."

Man Chong took the military newspaper with a frown and asked, "How many casualties? Where is Wenpin now?"

Niu Jin and a group of civil and military officials looked at each other uneasily. Man Chong noticed something was wrong, opened the military newspaper and took a closer look, his eyes widened in shock.

He murmured to himself in disbelief: "The cavalry will suffer more than half of the casualties!"

Niu Jin cupped his hands: "Mr. Manfu, the dry season is beneficial to our northern cavalry, but Guan Yu, relying on a sidecar and a crossbow, set up a battle in Jingjiang. General Wenpin was unable to break the battle, and more than half of the casualties... Now Jingjiang has been captured by Guan Yu. Control, Jiangxia and Xiangfan were divided into two by Guan Yu, the most urgent task is to find a way to contact General Wenpin to prevent the northern border of Jiangxia from falling into the hands of Guan Yu."

Niu Jin continued. "If the north of Jiangxia belongs to Guan Yu, then...then Xiangfan will be completely isolated and helpless, facing enemies on three sides, so...before Prime Minister Cao rushes to Xiangfan, I'm afraid...I'm afraid it will be finished!"

Niu Jin, who was originally a farmer of Cao Ren's family, has gained a lot of knowledge after traveling with Cao Ren all these years.

When Man Chong heard this, how could he not know the importance of the relationship.

How far is Xiangfan from Dongchuan?Now, don't say it's Prime Minister Cao's support. I'm afraid he hasn't even received the letter of Cao Ren's assassination.

When he comes to preside over the overall situation, the situation is in danger!

This…

What an imminent, timeless moment.

"Ring the bell and beat the drum, call all the generals and staff to the government office for discussion!"

In the sleeping city of Xiangyang, a piercing bell sounded suddenly.

A general who had just returned from a defeat and looked a little embarrassed was retreating into the city when he heard the bell and couldn't help but raise his head.

The soldier on the side asked, "General Wen...this is Lord Manfu."

"Hush..." The general pointed out his index finger, and reminded him in a low voice, "Mo Shengzhang, now... that Guan Yu is in Jiangxia, he doesn't know that I'm in Xiangfan, and this... is my only chance to defeat him!"

...

...

A huge map hangs up.

Several points are marked on it, Xiangyang, Fancheng, and Wenpin Miankou Daying.

And in the middle, there are four places, three of which are in the shape of horns, which are barracks set up by Guan Yu.

The one closest to Miankou is the Chinese army, the one near Xiangfan on the west side is where the Guan family army hoards ordnance, and the one near Jiangxia to the south is where the Guan family army hoards grain and grass.

In addition to these three places, there is one remaining mark, which is near the stele of 'Fuhu Mountain' and 'Zhuodao Spring', where the ships of the Guan family army docked.

Tonight, Guan Yu specially summoned a group of officers to discuss matters.

Guan Ping, Guan Xing, Guan Yinping, and Guan Suo all gathered here.

On the contrary, Guan Yu and Zhou Cang hadn't arrived because they were delayed by military affairs.

During the day, they won battles, and all the children of the Guan family were in a good mood, taking advantage of their father's absence.

They chatted about some interesting topics.

"I don't know if the fourth brother can answer the answers to 'Fuhu Mountain' and 'Zhuo Daoquan'..."

Guan Yinping snapped her fingers and couldn't help but think of Guan Lin.

Today, she also went to the battlefield, commanding a hundred Liannumen under her command, firing Liannu from the flanks, severely injuring Wenpin's soldiers and horses in the middle distance, disrupting their formation, and creating conditions for her father Guan Yu's surprise attack.

When she was satisfied, she began to imagine.

If the fourth brother can answer the answers of 'Fuhu Mountain' and 'Zhuo Daoquan'.

Father will add one thousand soldiers to her.

Then she can command a thousand crossbowmen. Naturally, it will be of no avail on the battlefield.

"Since the third sister has chosen the fourth brother, why worry?" Guan Suo had always been full of confidence in the fourth brother Guan Lin. He smiled and said, "There is no fourth brother in Jingzhou. I don’t know, but…”

Because of the great victory, everyone was quite happy, so Guan Suo played a joke on Guan Xing.

"It's the second brother. If the second brother loses, he won't be able to get a thousand soldiers... At that time, I will go to the logistics to be a quartermaster for a year. I'm afraid I will suffocate the second brother."

"It's too early to be happy, let's wait until the fourth brother gets the answer right!"

Guan Xing kept a straight face as usual, just like Guan Yu.

Among the sons, Guan Xing is the son who most resembles Guan Yu!

It was still Guan Ping who said with emotion: "There are many post houses between here and there, and the pigeons are replaced very quickly. Within a day, the letter paper can be sent to Changsha... Calculating the time, tonight... almost the fourth brother will receive it. I just don't know him Are you helpless after receiving it? Or... the answers are fluent!"

"Which one do you want, brother?" Guan Yinping asked with great interest.

"I..." Guan Ping is now 35 years old. Compared with these younger brothers and sisters, he is much calmer. He looked at Guan Yinping and Guan Suo, "I naturally hope that the fourth brother can answer it... "

Speaking of this, he did not forget to look at Guan Xing, "Of course, as a brother, I don't want to lose with my second brother..."

"If you lose, you lose. What are you afraid of?" Guan Suo said hastily: "Isn't it just to be a quartermaster in the logistics army? The fourth brother told me that Cao Cao also started as a quartermaster when he suppressed the Yellow Turban rebellion. of!"

Guan Xing interrupted: "Obviously you are the captain of the cavalry, but you say the quartermaster."

Guan Suo explained directly. "That's because the first general, Huangfusong, didn't like Cao Cao, thinking that he became the captain of the cavalry because of nepotism, so he was sent directly to the logistics as a quartermaster!"

"It's the logistics 'military supplies' that train people the most. The fourth brother said that it is as big as recording military supplies. How much is received from the treasury? How much is distributed every day? How much is needed? How many days are left during the entire training? The first and logistics troops need to send food. How many days in advance. As small as the rewards for each soldier's bravery, what do you eat for two meals a day? You have to do it yourself...even, all accounts need to be reported to the army commander twice a day, morning and evening, so that the general can grasp the specific situation."

Guan Suo said a lot.

Guan Xing didn't take it seriously, he always looked down on those logistics and transportation.

Guan Ping was a little surprised, "Fifth brother...the fourth brother really told you these things?"

"Yeah..." Guan Suo seemed to have been opened up, "The fourth brother also said that the most tiring thing for the quartermaster is not the chores of sending and receiving grain and grass, but the delivery time of various arsenals, which cannot be guaranteed at all."

"Sometimes, as soon as I fell asleep, the ordnance was delivered, and the quartermaster had to count it immediately. It was often difficult to sleep soundly, and how to transport food on the battlefield? How to hide the whereabouts of the food delivery team? How to be on the front line When the war is defeated? Preserving food and supplies to the greatest extent, these are all big issues."

Guan Suo's words surprised Guan Ping.

In his opinion.

Often, when entering the military camp for the first time, they would look down on the quartermaster and the logistics team, thinking that they went to battle to kill the enemy, and they were just serving themselves.

But... only after staying in the military camp for more than ten years and experiencing all kinds of battles, will you realize... the most difficult and most responsible person in the military camp is the quartermaster!

The position of a quartermaster is not high, but often a small negligence can have a huge impact.

An excellent quartermaster is an existence that every general will respect
However, when did the fourth brother stay in the military camp?
How could he know this?

Don't wait... Guan Ping wanted to understand, Guan Yu had already strode into the military tent.

He cut to the chase, "Today's great victory, I expect that Ding Wenpin will attack at night in the next two days, and I deliberately set up three military strongholds to lure him out!"

Speaking of this, Guan Yu directly issued orders, "Where is Guan Ping?"

"—the end is here?"

"The military camp where the Guan family's army hoarded sidecars and Liannu is a low valley. I am in command of you to lead 3000 people to ambush at Taniguchi. If Wenpin is killed, immediately block Taniguchi and use the formation of sidecars to block the enemy. , use the continuous crossbow to shoot and kill the enemy, follow the example of the setting sun valley, and wipe out the enemy cavalry!"

"—Here!" Guan Ping immediately took the order.

"Where are Zhou Cang, Guan Xing, and Guan Suo?" Guan Yu ordered again.

"—The end is here!" The three of them clasped their hands together.

"Guan has just quietly transferred the grain and grass with wooden oxen and horses. All the things hidden in the military camp here are igniters. I ordered the three of you to lead three thousand soldiers to lie in ambush around the military camp. The fire blockade... Be sure to burn the main force in it!"

Following Guan Yu's orders...

Guan Suo's subconscious reaction was.

——"Are these two military strongholds... bait?" 』

"—Here..."

Before Guan Suo could think about it, Zhou Cang and Guan Xing had already taken orders.

Now, everyone has missions, except for shutting down the silver screen...no missions at all.

She quickly asked, "What about my daughter?"

Guan Yu ordered: "You will follow my commander in the central army!"

This…

Guan Yinping paused for a moment, a little puzzled: "Why did my father send troops to ambush outside the other two military villages where food and ordnance were stored, but the Chinese army camp..."

Without waiting for Guan Yinping to ask all the questions.

Guan Yu's red phoenix eyes opened and closed suddenly, and the domineering tone came out at the same time: "Because Guan is here, with his Wenpin three guts, he wouldn't dare to surprise Guan's camp!"

This…

Although this statement is largely subjective.

But...however, the chanting from Guan Yu's mouth makes people feel...that is indeed the case.

However, Guan Yu's entire layout.

Use weapons as bait, use food and grass as bait, lure Wenpin to attack, and then ambush him!
This plan actually has one of the biggest loopholes, that is:

——What if... Wenpin doesn't attack?
Wenpin's new defeat, if he shrinks back to the Miankou camp in Jiangxia...

Wouldn't it be a waste of ambush?

"Father Commander..." Guan Ping put forward his idea, "Wen Pin was defeated in such a mess today, but Father Commander was sure that he would attack at night within two days? Why? If we speculate according to common sense... Wen Pin should be guarding Miankou Dao Camp is right!"

Facing his son Guan Ping's questioning, Guan Yu just replied lightly.

——"Because of Wenpin, he didn't escape back to Miankou camp at all."

——"Wenpin is not Cao Ren after all! He intends to turn the tide."

Only this sentence.

Everyone will understand.

...

...

Xiangyang City, this is destined to be a fruitless council.

Prime Minister Cao Cao has not arrived;

General Cao Ren fainted;

Cao Chun, the commander of the tiger and leopard cavalry, died tragically. Now... even Wenpin, who was stationed in the northern border of Jiangxia, was severely defeated by Guan Yu in Jingjiang.

In Xiangyang City, the faces of every civil, military and general were extremely gloomy.

Obviously, with Man Chong's own strength, he couldn't support the current slumped situation in Xiangfan.

The discussion ended without any results.

Man Chong was staring at the map alone in a daze, when suddenly a gust of wind blew, and Wenpin lifted the curtain and strode in. He walked quickly to Man Chong's side, and before Man Chong could cry out, Wenpin had already made a "shh" gesture...

Man Chong tried his best to calm down the throbbing mood in his heart.

"Why did you come back? You... didn't you retreat back to the Miankou Camp?"

"I was a fraud."

Man Chong was surprised by Wen Pin's words, and Man Chong quickly asked: "But the scouts sent back news that Guan Yu had set up a chariot formation and crossbow formation in Jingjiang. General Wen could not break the formation, and lost more than half of the cavalry."

"What I see may not be true." Wenpin's tone was very calm: "If Bubai is more realistic, how can I attract Guan Yu's three camps to the mouth of Jiangxia Miankou! How can I deceive him into setting up three camps?" camp!"

This…

From the moment he saw Wenpin, Man Chong's eyes were full of shock.

Now... hearing about the fraudulent defeat, hearing that Guan Yu was deliberately attracted to Miankou... this made Man Chong's emotions hard to contain.

"What exactly is General Wen going to do?"

Facing this surprised question full of favors, Wenpin replied lightly: "Guan Yu has set up three camps, one is for storing crossbows and sidecars, the other is for storing grain and grass, and the third is the military camp of Guan Yu's Guan family army. The reason why he set up camp like this is because he is sure that I will attack at night in the near future! He used the sidecar, the crossbow, and the wooden ox and horse as bait to make me follow in the footsteps of General Cao Chun!"

This…

Man Chong fell into contemplation, and after a while, he murmured: "There is nothing wrong with this judgment. General Zixiao fainted, and the morale of our Wei army was low. If we survive...then whether it is Jiangxia or Xiangfan, it will be dangerous. The Guan family army is far away. We have come all the way, and our army is waiting for work, so a night attack in a short period of time is the best opportunity to defeat the enemy."

"That's right!" Wenpin nodded heavily, "Besides that, there is another point, Guan Yu is sure, General Zixiao is not here, and Wenpin is the commander of the water army, so I can't gain prestige among the Cao Wei cavalry. A victory will establish my prestige here in Xiangfan, otherwise... Guan Yu will attack menacingly, fearing that Xiangfan's army will not be stable and will not be able to sustain Prime Minister Cao's return!"

call…

Man Chong exhaled deeply, he swallowed, raised his eyes again, and looked at the huge map.

"Then Man Chong, do you want to attack at night?"

"I have no choice!"

"Then, Guan Yu's three military strongholds, which one do you plan to attack?"

Man Chong's fingers slid across the place closest to them, and Man Chong wrote the words "Panxiangche and Liannu" with a pen, and then the other place, which is the closest to Jiangxia, right?, Man Chong Write words like "Wooden cows, horses, grain and grass"...

In the end, it was Guan Yu's central army that his fingers passed.

This is the only place where he wrote the word "Guan Yu"!
Apparently, as he wrote, his hand trembled and the ink spattered.

But... Man Chong still pointed there without hesitation.

He stopped his hand and pen here. "If it is true as General Wen said, those two military strongholds are very likely to set up an ambush, but... Guan Yu's Chinese army, maybe... take the bottom line, capture the thief and capture the king, there is still a chance!"

At the end of Man Chong's sentence, he found... his whole body was trembling.

What a heroic courage is required to attack Guan Yu's camp at night!
And this... is not just an ordinary multiple choice question?

This is simply a proposition!

Once you choose wrong...

Wenpin and the cavalry in Xiangyang City were all buried.

Take ten thousand steps back and say, even if you escape back, "if you choose the wrong one", it will be fatal to the morale of Cao Jun!

——Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, do you prefer to go to the mountains?
"General Wen... Isn't this a bit too risky?" Man Chong questioned.

On the other hand, Wenpin slowly let go of his frowned eyebrows, and said lightly: "Who said Guan Yu only has these three military strongholds!"

"what do you mean…"

"Haha, this general is going to attack his fourth military stronghold at night!"

While speaking, Wenpin pulled out his saber, and the point of the sword was not the van and crossbow, not the wooden oxen and horses and grain, nor Guan Yu's own feather, but the southern part of Jiangxia, the "Fuhu" Mountain" and "Zhuodaoquan" are located.

There…

More than [-] warships of the Jingzhou Army are still parked.

Wenpin's goal...was never Guan Yu, but these—warships!
And Wenpin pointed, and in an instant, a breath of foul air was exhaled heavily from Man Chong's mouth.

The Manfu Lord who had been loyal to Cao Cao for 23 years, his eyes widened in a rare way, he said with emotion.

——"General Wen's plan is brilliant!"

——"If Guan Yu can burn two hundred warships, then once the dry season is over, Guan Yu's navy will become a big joke!"

As the words of Man Chong spread.

Wenpin's face became more dignified, and his tone became more meticulous.

——"Master Manfu, these two hundred ships need to be burned, and the crossbows, sidecars, and wooden oxen and horses also need to be obtained!"

——"I need your help in this battle!"

In the yamen office of Xiangyang City, whispered discussions suddenly sounded.

At this moment, Shen Yun billowed in the sky, and the sky became darker and darker.

During the dry season, there was no sign of rain in the arid air, but there was only the sound of thunder... billowing.

...

...

Changsha County, inside the post house at night.

An unextinguished oil lamp was flickering, and Liao Hua's frowning expression was reflected in the dim light.

Finally, he looked forward to the stars, to the moon... and to Guan Lin.

In fact, he was speechless. Before meeting Guan Lin, he was speechless...

Because, just now, he received a letter from Fei Ge, which meant... He asked Liao Hua to ask Guan Lin the question on behalf of Guan Gong, and see if this kid can solve it.

Question—What is the implication of the steles of "Fuhu Mountain" and "Zhuodaoquan"?

Seeing this question, Liao Hua's mentality immediately collapsed!

He was still thinking about persuading Guan Lin to let Zhang Zhongjing's two disciples back, calm down the incident, rein in the precipice, and make up for it... It's not too late.

It won't let Guan Gong's prestige fall to the bottom overnight.

But, when is this day?
Guan Gong even wanted to test his son——Guan Lin!
How did he know that his son was going to cause him such a disaster!His prestige will fall to the bottom overnight!

have no choice…

Liao Hua was completely helpless.

When he saw Guan Lin, he hadn't had time to mention the matter of Zhang Zhongjing's disciple, and the matter of Zhang Zhongjing's righteous daughter beating the Dengwen drum.

Without further ado, he directly took out the test question from Guan Yu.

Guan Lin didn't know that Liao Hua was protecting him along the way!
He thought that Liao Hua came all the way to present this question.

Guan Lin was still thinking about...

——Papa is so idle!
Doesn't this make Liao Hua practice long-distance running?What a fool!

As for this question, what is the implication of the steles of "Fuhu Mountain" and "Zhuodaoquan"?
What's so hard about this?
It’s not that Zhuge Liang made up two stories, dragged his father Guan Yu into the story, and made a myth...

Ever since, the people of Jiangxia paid homage to their father Guan Yu.

After all, isn't it to increase the prestige of the old man?Let him stay still!

I never thought about it, because of this, my father even wrote a special letter and sent him a debut question, and Guan Lin was also drunk.

He pondered... Father's addiction to pretending must have happened again.

This is a disease, it must be cured!

Guan Lin intends to tell the story of "Fuhu Mountain" and "Zhuodaoquan", of course it is necessary to add a sentence.

——Dad, do you still want to be ashamed?
——What does Zhuge Junshi mean?Can't you be a little bit forced in your heart?
Asking this kind of... boring questions all day long...

My son is very busy here!
In order to save others, my son is almost worried.

Guan Lin was also drunk. Having such a father was even more heart-wrenching than saving Fazheng and Zhang Zhongjing.

and many more…

Guan Lin suddenly realized something, so he couldn't help asking one more question.

"General Liao, my father's Northern Expedition this time? Wasn't the enemy general stationed in Jingjiang that Wenpin? This Wenpin has repeatedly frustrated my father? Why is my father still in the mood to ask about 'Fuhu Mountain' and 'Zhuo Daoquan'?" matter?"

Liao Hua is also in a hurry...

He waited for Guan Lin to answer the matter clearly and write a good letter... Then he, Liao Hua, could ask the real question.

but…

Guan Lin's words startled Liao Hua slightly.

"Cough cough..."

He coughed lightly, and said truthfully, "Who told the Fourth Young Master that Wenpin repeatedly made Guan Gong miserable? Has Wenpin ever let Guan Gong be embarrassed?"

what…

As soon as this remark came out, Guan Lin was startled, he felt that something was wrong.

According to historical records, Wenpin not only robbed the old man's army supplies, food and grass, but also burned hundreds of the old man's boats. This is a brilliant stroke in the process of Cao Wei's confrontation with Guan Yu in "Three Kingdoms"!
Because of this incident, Wenpin was granted the titles of "Marquis of Yanshouting" and "General of Rebellion".

Guan Lin was very impressed.

Didn't... happen?

Hiss... Guan Lin took a slight breath, and then he asked: "Didn't this Wenpin...didn't sneak attack and rob my father's food?"

"How has Guan Gong's food been robbed by this Wenpin?" Liao Hua answered truthfully.

Guan Lin suddenly felt a little creepy, and his words suddenly became urgent and meticulous, "So? Dad's boat...wasn't burned by Wenpin?"

Liao Hua's answer was the same as before, "Where did the fourth son hear these words? Why does Guan Gong need someone? How could he be hired by this idiot to burn the ship?"

Ha ha…

Hearing Liao Hua's answer, Guan Lin said "hehe".

He suddenly realized a very serious problem.

In addition, he recalled what Liao Hua mentioned just now, the father parked two hundred boats near the stone monuments of 'Fuhu Mountain' and 'Zhuodaoquan'...

From the water to the land, this is a pain in the ass... Asking such a boring question about 'Fuhu Mountain' and 'Zhuo Dao Spring'.

So...be nice...

Guan Lin's heart immediately thumped.

He grabbed Liao Hua.

"When father's boats arrived at Fuhu Mountain, where did my father get off? Where did the boat finally stop? Where did it go by land and water? Is there anyone guarding these boats?"

Guan Lin spoke extremely fast.

"——Liao...General Liao, these... you draw them for me! Draw them all, hurry... hurry!"

Rarely, Guan Lin suddenly became extremely urgent.

this moment…

He is like an ant on a hot pan, almost cooked...

Oh no!

It's his father Guan Yu's boat, if it's not in order, if one is not good, it will be "cooked" by a fire!

...
