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

Chapter 195 On the Order of Hong Qigong of the Beggar Gang, Seeking Guan Gong

——Spread into the mu!
Liu Bei decided to do this from the first time he saw it.

This coincides with the purpose and philosophy he practiced in the first half of his life.

Once upon a time, he was pure, he just wanted to rely on benevolence and people's hearts to make a difference in this troubled world.

He firmly believes that the one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world.

But... the consequence of doing this is that reality beats him again and again.

But who would have thought that at this moment, he... he saw his original intention again!
From Guan Lin's answer sheet;
From Guan Lin's words;

From this bamboo slip, he saw the original color of his "original heart".

At this moment, Liu Bei turned around, facing the moonlight full of youth.

His heart was full of emotions.

The realistic beating made his mood no longer pure, made him contradictory, and eager for quick success.

He has to consider the people, the clan, the Han family, the great cause, and himself!
Many times, he had to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall.

He had to do some unacceptable "villain" behavior.

But all of this is for survival!

If people are gone?To whom should he tell his original intention?
Liu Bei lived his whole life at a loss, at a loss, and didn't know where the road ahead was.

He was very fortunate that when he was in Xuzhou, he met Chen Deng and Chen Yuanlong, who taught him how to think when he dared not think;
Liu Bei was also very fortunate. After visiting the thatched cottage three times, he got Zhuge Liang.

Kong Ming told Liu Bei what to do when he didn't know what to do!
Liu Bei was even more fortunate that he met Pang Tong.

Pang Shiyuan corrected the deviation of his approach and told him that before realizing the ultimate ideal, for the sake of the big goal, one must give up the small goal;
After seeing Fazheng, Fazheng opened his arms:
——Good friend, I finally waited for you.

——I know the bitterness of your journey, now, leave this bitterness to me.

——Those who need to be killed, let me do it!Let me do the evil that needs to be done, and you will be your benevolent Lord as always!

For a long time, Liu Bei felt...he was unfortunate, because he started from a humble beginning, and he did not have the support of big families like Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

But Liu Bei felt that he was lucky because he had such a group of people around him who could always give him sufficient help at the right time.

Chen Deng is gone, and Kong Ming is here;
Pang Tong left, and Fazheng came.

Now, Yunqi seems to be sent from heaven to help him.

He proposed "split Ding Dian Mu";
He proposes to harness the power of the people;

He proposed relying on the working class to ultimately win.

This is tantamount to allowing Liu Bei to see a brand new track, a road he has fantasized about for a long time, but has never really taken it.

He doesn't need to rely on aristocratic families like Cao Cao;

He also doesn't need to rely on the natives like Sun Quan and compromise with the locals...

He wants to blaze a new path, one that relies on the people and achieves ultimate victory.

Guan Lin is like a lighthouse. He flashed it inadvertently, but it brought Liu Bei great hope and vision.

...

Under the observatory, the guards who had been waiting here for a long time saw Liu Bei, and immediately went forward to meet him, saw his gesture, and went to lead the horse knowingly.

Now Liu Bei is too eager to gallop...

He wanted to release the excitement in his heart.

He felt he had finally seen the light.

At this moment, Zhao Yun took the lead to report: "The urgent letter from Feige just received, and the news from the eyeliner along the way, can already confirm that Cao Cao is going south to Jingzhou, but..."

"But what?"

Zhao Yun frowned slightly, "I don't know why, but the number of stoves in the Cao camp in Hanzhong City has more than doubled. It doesn't seem like a decrease in troops, but an increase in troops!"

"Have you reported this to Zhuge and Fazheng?" Liu Bei asked Zhao Yun.

"Military Master Zhuge has been at the Observation Tower, and has not yet reported that he is with the lord, but it is with Military Master Fazheng..." Zhao Yun was slightly hesitant.

"Say!"

Zhao Yun recounted Fazheng's words truthfully. "Fazheng's army division said that reducing troops and increasing stoves is Cao Cao's deliberate intention, so he set up a suspicious formation to prevent our army from going north to sneak attack."

Liu Bei nodded lightly, "Xiaozhi and I have thought about getting together, Cao Cao has really left."

"Pass our military order to remove the guards at the pass on Jinniu Road and Lizhi Road, and let the soldiers go home to rest. It's been hard work in a short period of time, so let's rest for a while!"

"Here—" Zhao Yun took the order, but raised his eyes to look at the stargazing platform, and did not forget to add, "My lord, do you still need to ask Zhuge Military Adviser about this?"

"No need!" Liu Bei waved his hand, "Kong Ming has something ten times more important to think about!"

After the words fell, the horse was led, and Liu Bei got on the horse.

Accompanied by the neighing of "De De De", Liu Bei rode his horse and rode away along the empty street.

Facing the strong wind, his eyes were extremely sharp, as if...

He seems to have found a way to "two mines against nine mines"!

He found a way to make Bashu and Jingzhou prosperous.

The battlefield of the Three Kingdoms is all about population and productivity!
The battlefield of the Three Kingdoms is not the battlefield of the "people"!

but...

On the observatory at the moment.

Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan lightly, and he chanted softly, "The Guan family's rebellious son, every little man goes into his mu... every little man's life goes into his mu!"

Speaking of this, he raised his head and looked towards the sky...

The sky is full of stars tonight.

Zhuge Liang couldn't stop singing again: "Father and son of the Guan family, bright moon and bright stars, can they light up the way forward?"

While speaking, he took out a coat.

There is only one word in the gown.

——"Bright moon and bright stars, can you light the way forward?"

--"Can!"

Big "yes"!
A firm "yes"!
...

...

Jingzhou, Fancheng.

Outside a restaurant, a vigorous figure walked along, leaning against the wall and walking outside, his shadow was stretched extremely long by the lights inside the restaurant.

Like a "humble", extremely careful footsteps...

He looks lonely, calm, and magnanimous!

Look carefully, this is a beggar dressed in rags, he seems to have just walked out of the hut of the wine shop...

I just don't know where to go to beg in the dead of night, or where to find a shelter from the wind.

Finally, he entered an alley, and there was no one in the alley. He opened the door carefully, and the tension in his body did not dissipate until he entered the house.

But his hands trembled freely, as if he had heard something incredible.

This beggar is none other than the eight-pocket elder of the Beggar Gang——Lu Youjiao!

And just now, he saw Li Miao in the hut, and Li Miao left him a sentence - "Listen, Zhang Liao is here, there is an ambush in Fancheng!"

Speaking of which, Lu Youjiao from the Beggar Gang appeared here to cooperate with Li Miao's actions...

However, not many beggars sneaked into Fancheng, only Lu Youjiao.

Here, if something happens, no one can discuss it with him.

"call--"

"call--"

Heavy panting sounds continued.

Ever since he heard Li Miao's words, Lu Youjiao's mood was filled with infinite tension.

——Zhang Liao is here, there is an ambush in Fancheng!

In today's situation, he is very clear about what this means.

It stands to reason that he needs to quickly send this news to the old man "Hong Qigong", that is, Guan Lin.

But... now, Guan Lin is still in Changsha County, even if he is flying... it's too late.

"How to do how to do?"

Lu Youjiao couldn't help pacing left and right, a huge sense of loneliness swept over his body, he felt that he really didn't do this kind of "enemy rear" job.

He can't hide things...

But for such an important task, going deep into the enemy's rear, Guan Lin asked him to choose someone, who else could he trust in the entire beggar gang except himself?
The errand that Hong Qigong and his elders entrusted cannot be left on the ground!

"calm down!"

"'Don't use things to discourage your will', Hong Qigong said, you can't disturb your mind with foreign objects, I have to calm down, calm down!"

After pondering for a moment...

Lu Youjiao finally calmed down a lot, he tried to analyze: "Now, it's too late to send this letter to Hong Qigong, so...then..."

Thinking of this, Lu Youjiao suddenly remembered.

Previously...

After confirming that he sneaked into Fancheng as a beggar to cooperate with Li Miao's actions.

Guan Lin specially called him to the wine cellar, and gave him instructions earnestly.

Say yes...

In fact, it was mainly to teach Lu Youjiao a series of methods of cooperating with Li Miao and passing on information.

Today, word of mouth outside the hut is a way.

But not often.

Therefore, many methods came into being.

For example, "listen to the urn"...

Just take a jar with a big mouth and belly.Bury the listening urn in the ground, cover the mouth of the urn with a thin layer of leather, put your ears on it, and listen to the surrounding movement. This is called "Ying Ting".

If Li Miao needed to convey information, he would use a special utensil to make a special sound so that Lu Youjiao could hear it from the urn.

Besides, in the case of "Paper Kite", who would have thought that special symbols would be recorded on this flying kite.

The transmitted information can be seen from a distance.

"Carving blocks", "Yin symbols", "Yin scripts"...

It is equivalent to making the information delivered more secretive.

In particular, Yinshu cut a complete piece of information into three parts and wrote them on three bamboo slips. Three people were sent to hold the three bamboo slips and set off separately. After arriving at the destination, they combined the three bamboo slips into one , you can read through its meaning!
These seem to be useful...

But in fact, in the espionage work, it played a vital role!
And Guan Lin not only taught Lu Youjiao, but also tried many times in front of him one by one for three days in a row to ensure that he could understand Li Miao's token and cooperate with Li Miao's actions.

After teaching these methods of "passing information" one by one, Guan Lin specifically instructed him.

"——In the enemy's rear, while protecting yourself, you also need to have a certain ability to analyze the news. If you are in a hurry, if... you can't pass the news to me immediately, then pass the news to my third sister, or Fifth brother, or even my father, whoever is closer, and whoever the information is useful to, will give it to whoever."

"—Flying Pigeon corresponds to a posthouse outside the city. To whom do you want to pass it on? You need to mark it with a code word on the engraving. Remember to do things urgently, and don't stick to just passing it on to me! When there are a lot of them, there is no time. , You have to trust your own judgment!"

When I think back here...

Lu Youjiao collected himself.

——『Is it your own judgment? 』

"Gudong" he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

He quickly took out a pen and paper, and wrote down the words "Zhang Liao is here, there is an ambush in Fancheng" on the paper, because it was the first time, Lu Youjiao even forgot to use the engraving block commonly used in the Guan family army.

When he finally wrote...he didn't forget Guan Lin's special instructions.

——"If you send it to my father, then you must remember that you must add three words at the place where the pen is written!"

At that time, Lu Youjiao asked naively, "Which three words?"

Guan Lin was unequivocal.

——"Hong Qigong!"

That's right.

Not Guan Lin, not Huang Laoxie, but Hong Qigong!
Guan Lin knew his father Guan Yu too well.

"Huang Laoxie" and Guan Lin himself, whose identities are almost written on their faces, will definitely not let the old man realize the seriousness of the problem.

But the mysterious Hong Qigong couldn't be better!

People like Dad have to rely on "bluffing"!

finally…

Lu You heavily wrote the words "Hong Qigong" where the pen was written.

After doing all this, he let out a long breath... quickly copied the paper, and tied it to the left and right legs of a silver-gray pigeon.

This pigeon... was bought by Guan Lin at a high price.

Among the merchants in this era, there are many people who are engaged in the business of carrying pigeons and training them.

And this kind of "silver-gray" pigeon is already expensive, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive if you use the "homing ability" to train it. It can even compare to the price of a young girl in Dongshi.

The advantage is also obvious, that is, it is convenient for the pigeons to hide at night.

Then let the pigeons fly.

The gray dove quickly soared across the sky, but in a moment it merged with the rock-like night...

After doing all this, Lu Youjiao finally let out a long breath.

As for the gray pigeon, it quickly flew over Fancheng, Jingjiang, and Xiangyang, and landed in a post house twenty miles south of Xiangyang within half an hour.

The head of the posthouse is a strong man, who is actually a member of the beggar gang...

Previously, because he made great contributions in the process of arresting Jiangling Wei spies, he was promoted to become a disciple of the Three Pockets, and he was able to move into Mianshui Villa with his family, so that he could live a life of work and food. Good day.

At this moment, he took the pigeon and saw the words on it, and he didn't dare to neglect it immediately.

The letter continued... Passing Feige to the south, it was passed to Hong Qigong and his old man.

Another letter sent a fast horse to the camp of the Guan family army immediately...

One hundred thousand in a hurry.

Good thing…

It is not far from the camp of the Guan family army.

...

...

On the official road from Xu Capital City to Runan, he has already reached Runan City.

The two fast horses drove quickly on the official road, one in front and the other in the back. In front of them was the outskirts of Runan City, where soldiers and horses were forbidden to garrison.

The people on the horse are Yu Jin, the head of the five good generals, and Liu Ye, the talented Wang Zuo.

They just came back from Xu Capital City.

In today's situation, Xiangfan and Jiangxia are in jeopardy, and Xiahou Dun can't start the second plan of his elder brother Cao Cao.

——Ambush outside Fancheng.

——Ambush from all sides to capture Guan Yu!

It should be noted that in Cao Cao's plan, the emphasis is not on ambush from all sides or setting up an ambush, but on capturing Guan Yu!
It is a word "capture"!

In the whole plan, Guan Yu could be defeated, but he could not be killed. Firstly, Cao Cao admired Guan Yu, and secondly, under the current situation, if Guan Yu was killed, Liu Bei's hatred would all be poured on Cao Cao.

——Sun Liu United...

Even if Cao Cao captured Jingzhou, he would not be able to hold it.

The most ideal method is to kill the Guan family army, but let Guan Yu go, and then release the news to Soochow, let Soochow take advantage of the situation to attack Jingzhou...

According to Guan Yu's personality, even if he is alone, he will never back down!
In this way, Guan Yu died in the hands of Soochow, and everyone was happy.

now.

Wei generals Gao Lan and Huang Xuer Cao Zhang respectively led Xu Du to garrison troops to help Fancheng.
It is worth mentioning that Cao Pi was guarding Gao Lan's garrison, waiting for General Gao Lan's return, and he sincerely asked General Gao Lan to send troops.

Then they headed to Xiangfan together.

Liu Ye's task is to sit in Jiangxia.

And Yu Jin's task is to dispatch all the soldiers from Runan to help Jiangxia.

precisely…

The problem lies in the outskirts of Runan City, at the garrison of Yujin.

At this moment, Yu Jin who came here was in a daze.

——It was fine when I left, but when I came back, I found that... the soldiers were gone!

A soldier who stayed behind told him that Yu Jin knew that it was Cao Zhi and Yang Xiu who not only killed his lieutenant general, but also transferred his soldiers away by falsely passing on the military order of Prime Minister Cao!

After all, Yu Jin has always been prudent, and now he can't hold back anymore.

"I'm going to chase Zijian back—"

Yu Jin yelled and turned his horse's head, wanting to give chase.

Liu Ye looked calm, "General Wen Ze, please be safe and don't be impatient."

"People are dead, soldiers are gone? How can I stay safe? How can I not be impatient?" Yu Jin's body was full of anger. Thanks to him being Yu Jin, he has a good self-cultivation. If it were another vulgar general, he would scold his mother if he failed up.

"Calculating the time, I'm afraid your army has already been captured by Mr. Zhi to Fancheng? When you catch up now, it will be tomorrow, and Guan Yu has already been caught in the ambush. Prime Minister Cao's reward, what can you do at that time... just rush over there?"

"What can I do? I'll sue Cao Zijian!" Yu Jin was speaking angrily.

"Are you suing Mr. Zijian? Hehe, did you win the sue?"

Liu Ye showed his wise and insightful side that only a "grand strategist" can have.

He has a good relationship with Yu Jin, so he wanted to persuade him a little more. "Don't forget, Mr. Zijian is Prime Minister Cao's most beloved son, and he even captured Guan Yu...How can you sue with such a record?"

"Then...then forget it?" Yu Jin said angrily: "According to the deployment left by Prime Minister Cao, General Wen Yuan arrived in Fancheng. I am going to guard Jiangxia. In case Jiangdong invades, I will rush to help Hefei. However, Jiang Xia and Hefei had a mistake, I...I..."

"Don't worry..." Liu Ye reassured, "The news I just received is that Guan Yu has ordered an urgent march to attack Fancheng tomorrow morning. By then, he will fall into Prime Minister Cao's plan of ambush on all sides and will definitely be captured."

"Mr. Zijian uses your soldiers, and you also have a share of military exploits. As for Jiang Xia...hehe, we used to be safe and secure. In fact...how proud is Guan Yu? When you can't have both fish and bear's paw, he will definitely give up the fish And take the bear's paw, because the bear's paw is more valuable!"

"Therefore... it is impossible for him to attack Jiangxia! It doesn't matter whether Jiangxia has your soldiers from Yanzhou or not! As for Hefei...how did Sun Quan ever take the initiative to attack during the dry season? He didn't before, but now...his Jiangdong soldiers have long been broken. There will be no more!"

This…

Hearing this, Yu Jin was taken aback.

He obviously wanted to refute, but found that he couldn't refute at all.

What Liu Ye said makes sense!
And as an important counselor under Prime Minister Cao, Liu Ye's military exploits over the years, the strategies he made, and the results achieved are also convincing and convincing.

Not to mention, in the Battle of Guandu, as a "great inventor", he made a thunderbolt car and broke Yuan Shao's arrow tower in one fell swoop;

In the follow-up battles, Liu Ye often understood the development of the world situation to the point, predicting things like a god, planning strategies, and knowing people with insight.

Not to mention, when Cao Cao conquered Hanzhong last year, he confronted Zhang Lu's younger brother Zhang Wei.

Cao Jun's food was exhausted... almost retreating, it was Liu Ye who persuaded Cao Cao not to retreat.

Sure enough... it was Zhang Lu who couldn't bear it first!
It can be said that Zhang Lu surrendered, the biggest hero is this "great inventor"!
And Liu Ye's strategic vision is also well-known throughout Cao Wei.

It is no exaggeration to say that since Xun Yu and Xun Lingjun passed away, Liu Ye has become Cao Wei's leading strategist.

"Never mind, whatever..."

Yu Jin scratched his head helplessly... He let out a long sigh, "Then what should we do now? Without soldiers, I can't follow you to Jiangxia alone, can I?"

"Anyway, it's the credit for lying around and earning? Why not?" Liu Ye was quite relieved.

"I can't afford to lose that person!" Yu Jin spread his hands...

A look of embarrassment was revealed.

"Hahaha..." Liu Ye laughed. "Alright, then you stay in Runan, waiting to catch Guan Yunchang, and also waiting for the great merit that Mr. Zijian will give you! If you don't want Jiang Xia's contribution, I will accept it all."

Because the relationship was so good, Liu Ye also made a joke at the right time.

While speaking, he turned his horse's head and planned to leave.

But suddenly, he thought of something, and added meaningfully without forgetting, "Wen Ze, don't you forget that the prime minister is 60 years old this year? But the position of Wei Shizi has not yet been settled...Zijian Young master, he... hehe, whatever, whatever!"

Just this sentence...

Liu Ye clicked to stop, and immediately drove...to Jiangxia.

But it left behind Yu Jin's suddenly enlightened eyes.

Here, in Liu Ye's view, this trip to Jiangxia was just a random turn around.

Guan Yu neither knew how to fight Jiang Xia.

This credit, he earned it lying down.

On the other side... a fast horse from the post station outside Xiangyang City has already entered the military camp of the Guan family army.

Facing the refusal horse in front of the army stronghold.

The man on the horse yelled: "—— Urgent! Urgent!"

——"By the order of Hong Qigong, an old man of the Beggar Gang, please see Guan Gong!"
