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

Chapter 193 Yunchang, the red rabbit horse that was gifted alone, should I return it?
Inside the cave.

The water drops "tick-tick" along the stalactites, fell on the ground, and fell on the wall.

Because of the darkness, this kind of voice can't help but be associated with the word "creepy".

At this moment, Zhang He and Xu Huang were terrified, but they were more surprised. They wanted to know why Prime Minister Cao appeared here?

If the Cao Cao in front of me is real?

Who was Prime Minister Cao who went south to help Xiangfan?
——"I know you all, and I will definitely have many questions. I have a lot of time tonight, so I will tell you one by one."

It turned out that when Cao Cao decided to march into Hanzhong a year ago, he made a series of precautions at the junction of Wei and Wu, in Jingzhou, and in Hefei.

Some of the core figures include:

Cao Ren of Xiangfan;
Zhang Liao from Hefei;
Yu Jin in Runan;
Xu Ducheng's Cao Zhang and Gao Lan.

For example, when Sun Quan came to attack on a large scale, Cao Cao left Zhang Liao with the four words "thief comes, Nai Fa" in the bag.

This is just an assumption of Cao Cao.

In addition, Cao Cao also set up a variety of situations.

Even the situation in Xiangfan changed dramatically, and Cao Cao also made a record in advance.

The specific strategy is that once the situation in Xiangfan changes drastically, Guan Yu is bound to take advantage of the victory to attack.

Then, Tiao Zhang Liao led the extremely brave Shanxi Army to Xiangyang secretly, hid it, and secretly coordinated the command.

Use Shanxi people to fight Shanxi people!
In addition, Cao Zhang and Gao Lan were secretly dispatched to lead troops to ambush in Fancheng...

Secretly transferred to the ban to bring Runan soldiers and horses to quickly support Jiangxia and Wenpin to form a joint force, and also dispatched Liu Ye to support Jiangxia to consolidate the city defense.

Based on the above, no matter where Cao Cao is, he will make an immediate return to help.

However, this return aid is only an illusion, an illusion that makes Guan Yu aware of the urgency of time and pressure.

As proud as Guan Yu, he will definitely not give up such a good opportunity, and he will definitely attack Fancheng before Cao Cao returns to his aid.

When Guan Yu really attacked Fancheng by force, he would lie in ambush on all sides.

There are Zhang Liao, Gao Lan, and Cao Zhang outside, and Man Chong, Lu Chang, Niu Jin, and Zhao Yan inside. Jiang Xia's Wen Pin and Yu Jin can support them at any time, which is almost invincible.

Of course, the actual situation is still somewhat different from Cao Cao's ideal state.

The news of the deaths of Man Chong, Lu Chang, Niu Jin, and Wen Pin has not yet come.

Jiang Xia's support can't be counted on at all.

However, probably...Yu Jin, Liu Ye, Gao Lan, and Cao Zhang all rushed to Xudu immediately, and were dispatched by the general Xia Houdun. Yu Jin and Liu Ye went to Jiangxia to replace the dead Wenpin and resist Guan Yu's attack. Quickly supported Fancheng and ambushed outside Fancheng.

What Cao Cao didn't expect was that besides Zhang Liao, Gao Lan, and Cao Zhang on Xiangfan's side, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi were also involved.

Even, because Cao Zhi privately mobilized Yujin's Runan soldiers and horses, there are now more ambushes in Fancheng than Cao Cao had imagined.

"Ha ha ha ha…"

At this moment, Cao Cao narrated these eloquently, and he burst out laughing wistfully.

just like…

Cao Cao is confident.

His plan is not only to restore Jingzhou's decline, but also to destroy the Guan family army, and to capture Guan Yu alive.

Besides, Cao Cao didn't go back at all. It was true that he was the one who saw him off in the daytime, but after the army was dispatched, it might not be the real Cao Cao.

Cao Cao is suspicious by nature, how could he not have some "substitutes" by his side!
As for the real Cao Cao staying in Hanzhong, his purpose...

It still goes south from Hanzhong, Bazhong at the end of Micang Road, and Fuling at the end of Lizhi Road.

If these two places are captured, the troops that follow will attack Jianmen Pass from both sides, and the front of the troops will be directed at Chengdu.

Cao Cao told Zhang He and Xu Huang about this in detail.

But listening to Cao Cao's words, Xu Huang and Zhang Xi only felt their chests heaving and falling.

who would have thought...

The fainting of General Cao Ren in Jingzhou, not only did not become a hindrance and disaster for the Great Wei, but under the careful deployment of Prime Minister Cao, it turned the disaster into a fighter.

It can be seen from this that Cao Cao, who has been in the army for more than 30 years, has first-class leadership, and his tricks and strategies are also the best choice.

At this moment, Cao Cao's words continued.

"Gu Te let the stand-in show his face more during the process of going south... just to let the detailed work in Shuzhong be seen clearly, to see the real thing, and to tell the big-eared thief the news of Gu leaving Hanzhong. It is expected that Liu Bei will take it lightly and leave Fuling. How could he know the protection of all the passes in Bazhong?

"In the past, when Han Xin went out of Shu, he used the method of 'building plank roads in the open, and keeping the warehouses in the dark'. Today, when he enters Shu alone, he still uses this strategy!"

Speaking of which...

Xu Huang opened his mouth and asked, "Then why did the prime minister order General Miaocai to set up more stoves in the barracks? The last general only heard about increasing troops and reducing stoves to confuse the enemy. He has never heard of reducing troops and increasing stoves." The truth of the matter, isn't this... let the secret agents in Sichuan think it? Has our army's troops not decreased?"

"Hahaha..." Hearing Xu Huang's question, Cao Cao immediately laughed, "You don't know Zhuge Kongming well, and you have suffered a lot from him alone. This Zhuge Kongming has a calm personality and is rigorous in his work. If so...you can do everything alone. The clothes are seamless, and that is the biggest flaw in Zhuge Kongming's eyes!"

"So..." Zhang Xi suddenly realized, "The prime minister deliberately added a fire stove to confuse Zhuge Liang, making him think that the prime minister was just bluffing and playing tricks, that's all...Zhuge Kongming will not stop that big-eared thief from unloading the pass protection."

"Correct!"

Today, Cao Cao is in a good mood.

In his opinion, his deployment is foolproof, and now he just waits for the time to close the net.

"Haha, on the battlefield of Jingzhou, using the time of Gu's return to help, Yun Chang was forced to be eager for success, and fell into the plan of ambush set by Gu. Bashu, also because of Gu's departure, let go of his defenses."

"When the time is right...the tens of thousands of soldiers in this lonely mountain will be under the command of the two of you, and you two are required to go straight to Nabazhong and Fuling! People say Bashu, Bashu...how can there be 'Shu' without 'Ba', if so The two cities are left alone, and Chengdu is just within reach!"

call…

Following Cao Cao's detailed explanation.

Zhang He and Xu Huang admired their lord more and more.

His wisdom, his layout, he counted every point on the chessboard, as if everyone was his pawn.

It seemed that the passiveness of the situation was completely under his control.

It is said that the older a person is, the more evil he becomes!
This sentence is clearly revealed in Cao Cao's body.

Both Xu Huang and Zhang Yun were very fortunate that such a terrifying person was their lord, not their opponent.

How lucky they were to vote correctly?

"My lord, don't worry, as long as the defenses in the middle of Shu are withdrawn, Gongming and I will surely lead the troops in this lonely mountain to go forward without hesitation, capture Nabazhong and Fuling, and then break through the Jianmen Pass from behind. Thieves!"

Zhang He was the first to express his opinion.

Xu Huang also clasped his fists heavily, "Don't worry, my lord, this battle will definitely be won!"

"Hahaha..." Seeing the confidence of the two love generals, Cao Cao's mood became clearer, and he couldn't help but chant: "The sage said, 'Fish, I can do what I want; bear's paw, I can do what I want. You can’t have both, and those who give up the fish and take the bear’s paw, haha...But I want to say, why do I have to choose? Jingzhou has what it wants, and Yizhou has what it wants. Can’t have both? Hmph, Everyone wants it!"

"Hahahaha...Jingzhou is lonely, that Biyan'er's head is lonely, and Yizhou is also lonely. If you want to capture Yunchang alive, let Yunchang know who is the hero in this world. If you want to let that big ear The thief and the villager Zhuge have nowhere to go! Hahaha!"

For a moment, hearty laughter resounded in the cave.

It seems that Cao Cao, who is already 60 years old, today...he has brought the strategic layout that he has been good at all his life to its peak.

Just like, every battle he has fought and every game he has played in these years.

When ordinary princes were still doing multiple-choice questions, Cao Cao already wanted everything!
Gradually, Cao Cao's laughter fell, replaced by his eyes looking southeast...

He is too eager to know how the chessboard he laid out, each chess piece, is placed now?

As for the most critical chess piece, Guan Yunchang, can he arrive as scheduled... into the layers of ambush?
——"Hehe... Xuande, Xuande, in the old days when you cooked wine with green plums, you slipped away from Gu's nose once with the words 'the sage says thunder and wind will change', and Gu will never let you slip away again this time. 』

——"Yun Chang, Yun Chang...the red rabbit horse that I gave you alone?I have been riding for ten years, so I should pay back the money and interest to Gu.”

...

...

In Fancheng, the night is already dark, and the streets have already been sealed off.

Only some soldiers can be seen tensely preparing for war, without any panic, everything is in order.

The sounds of "creaking" and "creaking" came from far to near, and it was a carriage slowly passing by.

On such a forbidden night, there is such a carriage, such a person walking on the street, it is expected... it will not be an ordinary character.

Sitting in the carriage are Li Miao and Liu Zhen.

Under Liu Zhen's arrangement, Li Miao finally escaped from Jiangling and came to Fancheng... At this moment, even though it was late at night, he couldn't help looking out through the window.

Just like... his imagination and expectation, after coming here, his "new life!"

"——The autumn day is so sad, and I sigh with emotion. I can't sleep all night, and I narrate my thoughts in Ruhan. The light is shining in the middle of the day, and the breeze is cold. Haha, Hannan (Li Miao) is a newcomer, so he must have a lot of emotion. .”

What Liu Zhenyin wrote was his poem, which was originally given to Cao Pi, the general of the five senses.

It is also the right time to chant it now and present it to Li Miao.

"—Mountains and rivers are full of doubts, and there is no way out, and the willows are dark and the flowers are bright. Another village. Hehe...I, Li Miao, have come out, and I don't have to be humiliated by the Guan family father and son. I am like a newborn. Sooner or later, I will send The Guan family father and son trampled hard on their feet."

Unlike Liu Zhenyin's original poems, Li Miaoyin's poems are not original.

It was a collection of poems specially presented to him by Guan Lin before, which selected [-] famous poems.

In Guan Lin's original words, "The candidates who want to control the power of Cao Wei are the candidates who are close to the son. Cao Cao, Cao Pi, and Cao Zhi are the leaders of the northern literati, and they are all extremely enthusiastic about poetry. The most convenient way to approach them has to be poetry!"

Li Miaoyou clearly remembers that when he received Guan Lin's "Three Hundred Poems", he dismissed it...

He thought that he could do well in reciting poems and composing Fu... There is no need for these at all.

But as he unfolded the "Three Hundred Poems", he found that he was careless...

The verses in this... are more than one level higher than him?It's like ants and elephants are compared, it's like the fire of a firefly and the sun competing for glory.

So, except for the five-body cast that admires Guan Lin more.

In a few days, Li Miao memorized the "Three Hundred Poems" backwards.

What Guan Lin meant was that these poems hadn't been published yet. After Cao Wei, just say that they were originally written by Li Miao.

Now... chanting it casually, Li Miao just said it.

"It's a good sentence, 'There is no way out when there are heavy mountains and rivers, and there is another village with dark willows and flowers'. Mr. Li is indeed a great talent!"

Liu Zhen admired him again and again, "It just so happens that Mr. Huan is about to arrive in Fancheng tomorrow, and I will introduce Mr. Li to him after he has finished his work. Thinking about it, he will be very happy to see Mr. Li."

Well…

——"Cao Pi will come to Fancheng tomorrow? 』

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was interested. Li Miao immediately figured out that there was something wrong with the smell.

During this time, although he was trapped in Jiangling, he waited for the opportunity to go north with Liu Zhen...

But he still has some understanding of the battle situation in Xiangfan and Jiangxia.

Following Cao Ren's coma and Cao Chun's death, Wen Pin, Man Chong, Lu Chang, and Niu Jin all died in battle.

On the way here, Li Miao and Liu Zhen talked about this time, and heard Liu Zhen say that in Xiangfan now... only Sikong Li, the chief bookkeeper, and Zhao Yan are left to preside over the overall situation, and the situation is precarious.

Originally, Li Miao didn't care about these things, and he didn't come to be a general, so it was his turn to defend the city anyway.

Taking ten thousand steps back, what he has to do is to sneak into the enemy's rear and disintegrate Cao Wei from the inside.

嗏

Unfortunately, Liu Zhen mentioned at this sensitive time point - Cao Pi will come to Fancheng tomorrow...

This is somewhat meaningful.

"Isn't Mr. Pi staying behind in Xu Capital City? Zensheng will come here..."

Li Miao made a casual look and asked casually.

Liu Zhen was not at all wary: "It's not just that Mr. Zihuan is here. According to the information he gave me, Mr. Ziwen and Mr. Zijian will also come. I think it has something to do with solving the predicament in Jingzhou!"

"Oh..." Li Miao made a dazed look, and for a moment, his eyes suddenly sharpened.

But soon, he said with emotion: "I have heard for a long time that the literary circles in the Central Plains and the North praised the 'Three Caos' and the 'Seven Sons of Jian'an'. If Zijian and Zihuan get together, I can discuss with them. Let's take a look." How do the talents of the Central Plains compare with those of Jingzhou?"

Li Miao maintained his usual arrogance.

Liu Zhen smiled and said: "You...it's no better than Jingzhou here, it's better to restrain yourself."

"Hahaha...gongguan is one of the seven sons of Jian'an, you should know...which scholar is not arrogant?" Li Miao smiled and stroked his beard, "Although I am not the seven sons of Jian'an, I have the same temperament. I am afraid it will be difficult to restrain myself, otherwise I won't. He will offend the Guan family father and son, and be humiliated by him like a bereaved dog..."

Mentioning "Father and Son of the Guan Family" again, Li Miao suddenly looked like his eyes were tearing apart, and it was still the same four words - we can't live together!
After Liu Zhen comforted her, the two found a restaurant...

Because it was late at night, there was no one in the lobby.

After ordering side dishes and drinks, it seemed that Liu Zhen hadn't returned for a long time, and he was quite emotional, and wanted to get drunk tonight... Yishu has been wronged by the hair for looking at Concubine Zhen all these years.

"Feng Huang gathered at Nanyue, wandering around the lonely bamboo roots. I never tire of my heart, and I will fly to the purple atmosphere! Come, I respect Mr. Li!"

Liu Zhen raised the wine bottle and looked at the moon from afar.

Different from the wine bottles in Jingzhou area divided into "three elegant", in the Central Plains there is only one type of "bottle", which inevitably loses elegance.

At this moment, Li Miao also raised his wine bottle, "Come on, thank you Brother Gonggan for helping me escape the sea of ​​suffering! Soaring to the sky!"

While speaking, Li Miao planned to drink it all down.

But at this time...

A beggar outside the door came over untimely.

"You two young masters, please... do me a favor and enjoy the meal."

Liu Zhen was in a good mood, so he was about to take off a few doughnuts and give them to him.

Never thought that when Li Miao was interrupted from drinking, he suddenly became angry, "Where is the beggar, get out, get out—"

Li Miao said so, how could the beggar dare to stay, and after cursing Li Miao and Liu Zhen, he withdrew.

This was supposed to be an episode...the two continued to drink.

at this time…

"—of the shopkeeper."

This time it was not a beggar, but a team of well-equipped soldiers, asking with an authentic Shanxi accent: "How can I get to the arsenal in Fancheng?"

Because it was in a dialect, the shopkeeper didn't understand it for a while, so he asked them again before showing them the way.

But not long after, two or three teams of Shanxi soldiers came, each with dozens of soldiers, still asking for the direction of the arsenal.

The shopkeeper was puzzled, "Why are there so many Shanxi soldiers suddenly appearing in the city?

As always, the speaker has no intention, the listener intends...

Li Miao pursed his lips, and rolled his eyes, but... this happened in an instant, and he quickly restrained his expression, and continued to drink with Liu Zhen.

In the drinking room, as always, a small group of Shanxi soldiers came over to ask the direction of the arsenal.

It seemed that these soldiers were going to get weapons from the arsenal.

And Li Miao could also notice that under the current situation, the entire Fancheng...doesn't seem to be in the slightest panic.

All the defenses were arranged in an orderly manner. This is not the appearance of Xiangfan losing six generals one after another.

if…

Reminiscent of what Liu Zhen mentioned just now, Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, and Cao Zhang will all gather in Fancheng tomorrow, the more Li Miao thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

and many more…

"—Shanxi people! 』

Li Miao suddenly recalled it, he recalled what Guan Lin had mentioned before when he was training him.

Cao Weizhong...

In addition to Qiao Pei's cadre of warriors, Shanxi generals are the most capable and heroic!
Qiaopeiwu people have a special circle, and it is difficult to establish a deep relationship with people who are not from the Cao and Xiahou clans.

So Guan Lin's suggestion to Li Miao is to get in touch with these Shanxi people more.

If you come and go and become friends, you will surely get a lot of confidential military information, and if you don't keep it, you can make a huge contribution on the way to disintegrate Cao Wei.

Among Shanxi people, the two most worthy of deep friendship are Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan.
The second one is Xu Huang and Xu Gongming.

——"Most of these Shanxi soldiers came from the hands of the two of them!" 』

Considering that Xu Huang went to Hanzhong with Cao Cao, Li Miao came to a conclusion subconsciously.

——"Wait...it's Zhang Liao, it's Zhang Liao who is coordinating the situation in Xiangfan!No wonder... Shanxi soldiers are everywhere in Fancheng, and they are well protected!It turned out that he was sitting in town! 』

Recently, Zhang Liao's reputation has become too big. The battle of Xiaoyaojin stopped the crying of children in Soochow, and also made Zhang Wenyuan's name famous all over the world.

Li Miao easily connected Zhang Liao with Xiangfan today.

And keep thinking about it...

——"Zhang Liao ruled secretly... Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, and Cao Zhang gathered together, this... this... wrong, wrong... not good!Not good! 』

On the surface, Li Miao drank calmly, but at this moment his mood was already turbulent and surging.

He realized that the glorious moment for his first meritorious service had come!
After taking a sip of the wine, he stood up slowly, made a staggering posture, covered his lower abdomen and said, "Brother Gonggong, drink first, let me go as soon as I go..."

This means - Li Miao wants to show respect.

"Hahaha..." Liu Zhen was already drinking happily, and he chanted: "Yongri Xing game. The joy is still unfinished. My thoughts are in Xuanye. Xianghefu soaring... Haha, Hannan must have gone to soaring, people There are three urgencies, hurry up, hurry up!"

Talking... Liu Zhen waved his hand, and filled the wine bottle on his own.

It seemed that he was happier than Li Miao today.

Li Miao walked out of the main hall of the wine shop with stumbling steps, and walked to the door of the hut.

The "smelly beggar" who was scolded by Li Miao just now is still there.

Seeing Li Miao, the stinky beggar came up again, begging for a reward.

"Get out..." Li Miao yelled loudly again, the stinky beggar was also sensible, so he withdrew, this was just a normal thing.

It seems that unsuitable people appeared in unsuitable places, met by chance, and broke up unhappy.

However, at the moment when the two passed each other, Li Miao's lips moved a few times suddenly, and he uttered a sentence in a very soft voice but with an extremely stern tone:
——"Listen, Zhang Liao is here, there is an ambush in Fancheng!"

...
