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

Chapter 196 Guan Yu: This brat, he treats his father as a pawn!
Fifty miles south of Xiangyang City.

Guan Jiajun big account.

It seems that because Guan Yu did not withdraw his decision to attack Fancheng, the morale of the entire Guan family army was low, and it seemed to be shrouded in thick layers of haze.

Rarely, in this strong Guan family army,
Some soldiers are weeping;

Some soldiers risked being punished and tried every means to ask someone to write family letters for them.

Some soldiers were discussing in disappointment.

"Why do you have to fight Fancheng? Obviously Jiangxia is a better choice!"

"Because we took down Fancheng, we were able to take Wanluo directly, we were able to get close to Xudu, and we won back the emperor. It's because of this...that's why General Guan is so persistent?"

"It is precisely for this reason that Cao Jun will defend Fancheng with all his strength, right?"

Just at this moment, an untimely voice came.

"—Could it be because Mr. Yunqi objected, that's why General Guan insisted. General Guan wanted to prove that he..."

Halfway through the sentence, the voice stopped abruptly.

I don't know if this soldier thinks this sentence is a bit ridiculous, or... he dare not say the next words.

at this time…

With a "creak", the gate of the village suddenly opened.

The man riding a horse outside the gate got off his horse and followed several gatekeepers into the village.

These soldiers immediately found Zhou Cang and whispered something in his ear.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Cang's expression changed, and he immediately led the man to Guan Yu's big tent.

At this moment, the gate of Guan Yu's army tent was closed tightly.

There were layers of heavy soldiers outside, but Guan Yu was wearing armor, standing upright with a sword in his hand, as if... he was as stubborn as ever, standing proudly unchanged.

Even, he looked at the closed door with a stern look, as if with a determination to succeed or be benevolent.

But finally...

This chilling aura loosened in the end.

Guan Yu's eyes gradually softened, and he put the Qinglong Yanyue Knife back on the knife holder. He put the sword that had been pulled out because of anger on the table table back into the scabbard, and held it in his hand.

Another moment passed...

"Ugh--"

With a heavy sigh, Guan Yu's tense nerves instantly relaxed, and his clenched fists were released at the same time. He said softly: "Yunqi, this time for my father, I lost to you brat again!"

I just heard that all the soldiers of the Guan family army are writing "suicide notes"...

How could Guan Yu fail to appreciate the current morale of the Guan family army.

Such a mighty, unyielding and prestigious Guan family army.

Such an invincible Guan family army.

Is such a Guan family army that can fight in water when boarding a ship and ten bushes of antlers when disembarking, can switch between land and water at will, and has few defeats?
Can…

This is the Guan family army, just because of the words sent by Guan Lin's people, now they have become dejected, each of them seems to be half discouraged, and there is no trace of what they used to be, just like a mob.

"Ha ha!"

Guan Yu sneered helplessly.

He couldn't help pondering: "After all, I still underestimated that brat Yunqi!"

"He chose the courageous Zhuge Ke to carry out the task. This kid is really good at seeing people!"

"He asked Zhuge Ke to say those words, obviously to persuade his father, but secretly he let his 'words' of Guan Lin spread in the army and disturb the morale of the army!"

"Hehe, when did he really think about persuading his father to take back his life? Hehe, he just forced his father to take back his life! But his father, again, again, was tricked by this kid again! Now this Xiangfan is an attacker. No way!"

Yes…

Guan Jiajun so morale?So timid?So one by one talking about writing a "suicide note", is this still a hammer?
It's strange to be able to beat it down!
Although Guan Yu didn't know why Guan Lin was so opposed to attacking Xiangfan this time.

Also, how did he come to predict that the Guan family's army "has ten deaths but no life" and that his father Guan Yu's "decapitated body is in a different place"?
But I have to admit that now his son of Guan Yu, in the Guan family army... already possesses the energy not to lose to his Guan Yu.

His words can already influence the thoughts of the soldiers of the three armed forces.

Even military action!
"Ha ha--"

Thinking of this...

Guan Yu couldn't help but let out a sneer.

I don't know whether I should be happy for such a "capable" son, or feel sad that this son's wings are hardened, and he can already threaten Guan Yu's military orders in the Guan family army.

Heavy!
With such a son, how can Guan Yu's mood not be persistent and unusually heavy?
"Forget it, Guan lost to him this time...Xiangfan, I can only give up!"

Guan Yu knew that the low morale and low fighting spirit of the Guan family army was all because of Guan Lin's prophecy, and because Guan Yu insisted on attacking Xiangfan.

But once the target of the attack is changed from Xiangfan to "Jiangxia".

That's... no exaggeration.

Another prophecy of this stinky boy Guan Lin - if he attacks Jiangxia, he will surely win!
Sooner or later, the morale of the Guan family army can be raised again!The fighting spirit is stirred up again!
This kid has such incredible magical powers!
After all, Guan Yu had no choice but to accept it.

anyway…

Sad!
Guan Yu felt sorry for himself!
As the commander of the Guan family army, he was supposed to be the only "faith" of the entire Guan family army, but... Yunqi's crushing of this "faith" was just a battle on Fuhu Mountain!
scary...

For a moment, Guan Yu felt that this son was terrifying.

"Come--"

Guan Yu was about to shout "Come here", but he had no choice but to change his attack plan.

But at this moment... Suddenly the window slammed, Guan Yu returned to his senses vigilantly, holding the sword in his hand, and realized that it was Zhou Cang who was coming, so he withdrew all his vigilance.

"I was going to call (you)..."

The last word "you" has not been blurted out.

Guan Yu noticed that there was another person beside Zhou Cang.

It's not Guan Jiajun, and it doesn't look like a sergeant. Judging from the cracks in the palm, it's a pair of poor people's hands, which have been weather-beaten for many years.

Guan Yu asked suspiciously, "Who is he?"

Just as Zhou Cang was about to introduce, the man hurriedly bowed his hands.

Immediately, he handed over a letter and showed an emerald green bamboo stick: "Young fellow of the Beggar Clan, Guan Gong should know that this 'jasper stick' is a keepsake of the Beggar Clan, and the young one is Feng Hong Qigong and his elders. According to your orders, bring this urgent letter to Guan Gong!"

Well…

It was exactly as Guan Lin had guessed.

When he saw the token of the beggar gang and heard that it was an urgent message from Hong Qigong.

Guan Yu's narrowed phoenix eyes suddenly opened and closed, and his face, which was originally sluggish because of Yunqi's "bewitching the army's morale", suddenly became full of energy.

"—Hong...Hong Qigong?"

Even just reading this name, Guan Yu's voice was hoarse and choked.

You know, in Jingzhou...

"Hong Qigong" is an existence ten times and a hundred times more mysterious than "Huang Laoxie".

He can't see the end of the dragon, but it seems to be everywhere and penetrates every hole.

The last time he appeared, the Lu Family Army of Soochow lost troops in Changsha, causing Jiaozhou and Soochow to fight at all costs.

The last time he appeared, the matter of Uncle Liu's borrowing of Jingzhou disappeared, and Soochow no longer had any reason to beg for Jingzhou and covet Jingzhou!
The last time they appeared was those refugees in Jiangling, those beggars transformed into a rising and growing gang of beggars, standing impressively in Jingzhou!

After all, Guan Yu couldn't help but look sideways, amazed!

This is—the pearls and jades are in the front!

Hearing this name, Guan Yu didn't dare to slack off. He quickly took the letter paper and opened it, and the ten characters in it appeared vividly in front of his eyes.

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

Guan Yu saw that Hong Qigong's name was written on the inscription, and it was also stamped with the unique seal and ribbon of the Beggar Clan, making it look decent!

Of course, it doesn't matter... what matters is the content of this dispatch.

——"Wen Yuan is actually in Fancheng? 』

——"So...Fancheng...Has Fancheng really set up an ambush? 』

Guan Yu's thoughts changed sharply.

In an instant, the bean-sized beads of sweat fell drop by drop from his forehead, as if Guan Yu had thought of something terrible, if... if the contents of this urgent message were true.

——That would be terrible, terrible!

And subconsciously... Guan Yu will combine this urgent message with the prophecy from Zhuge Ke sent by Guan Lin.

——Attacking Xiangfan will surely lead to ten deaths, the entire army of the Guan family will be wiped out, and the father will be decapitated!

This…

This…

With a "bang", Guan Yu slapped the table, and he quickly asked, "Is this true? Is Hong Qigong in Fancheng?"

"I don't know about that. I'm only responsible for sending letterheads to Guan Gong. As for Guan Gong's belief or not, Hong Qigong didn't explain it. Naturally, I don't need to elaborate."

The man bowed his hands and made a farewell, and left the room without hesitation.

Zhou Cang felt that it was very strange to watch the man come and go in a hurry... "Guan Gong, this... Could this be a scam!"

"It's true!" Guan Yu's Danfeng eyes closed, and his words were meticulous, "Many members of the Beggar Clan have checked, and this wall jade stick is indeed a keepsake, and only disciples with more than three bags can use it! This disciple is a member of the Beggar Clan. He is true, but what he said, Wen Yuan is in Fancheng, there is an ambush in Fancheng... probably true..."

Speaking of this, Guan Yu rarely kicked his chin with his hands instead of stroking his beard.

In fact, he was thinking about his whereabouts.

——"Why does Hong Qigong help Guan X again and again? 』

——"What is he trying to do about XX? 』

and many more…

Suddenly, Guan Yu seemed to realize something.

His voice groaned again, "Guan knows it, no wonder Yunqi persuaded me so resolutely... I understand, I understand... This brat Yunqi has known the old man 'Hong Qigong' from the very beginning, and They have a great relationship!"

If it weren't for the people in the beggar gang who would always add the word "old man" after Hong Qigong.

Bao Buqi At this time, Guan Yu was able to guess Hong Qigong's true identity.

"No wonder this kid..."

For a sudden moment, Guan Yu was in a trance.

After a moment, he suddenly understood, as if he had already understood everything.

And because of this, the palm he held between his arms and wrists changed from warm to hot in an instant, becoming scorching hot.

It was as if Hong Qigong and his son Yunqi set up a partnership.

But Guan Yu, his words and deeds are the most important pawn in this game, and also the most confusing chess piece for the enemy!
--"I see! 』

——"It turns out that the pawn is myself! 』

Guan Yu sighed heavily.

At this moment, the night wind blew in from outside the tent door, and Guan Yu's long beard was blown up and down in the night wind.

However, Guan Yu's Danfeng eyes are as bright as morning stars at this moment... He is smiling, as if he can see through some smiles!
"Zhou Cang!"

"The last general is here, prepare paper and pens, Guan will issue a military order!"

ah... ah...

As Guan Yu's voice came out, Zhou Cang suddenly realized, "Why does Guan Gong need to prepare writing and ink? If there is a military order, the general can pass it on now!"

"Haha..." Guan Yu stroked his beard, "It's still early!"

While speaking, Guan Yu had already found the pen and ink, and he quickly wrote a series of words on the bamboo slips. After writing these, he stuffed the bamboo slips into Zhou Cang's arms.

He then asked: "If you order troops immediately, how many cavalry are there?"

"More than [-]..." Zhou Cang didn't think about it.

"What if we add the horses captured earlier?" Guan Yu continued to ask.

"At most [-] rides, this is the limit."

Following Zhou Cang's answer, Guan Yu nodded heavily, and at this moment, his eyes lighted like lightning, "Call out this cavalry immediately, and quietly, Guan is going to march now!"

what…

what…

This time Zhou Cang was no longer surprised, but a huge surprise.

He hastily reminded, "Didn't Guan Gong say that cooking is done at the third watch, and we march towards Fancheng at the fifth watch, and launch a general attack as soon as we arrive? But this... it's just nightfall, and it's still very far away from the third watch!"

Facing Zhou Cang's doubts.

Guan Yu just replied lightly, "Guan said that? Did you go to attack Fancheng?"

This…

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Cang's pupils instantly became round and huge.

...

...

Guan Jiajun, a camp.

It's already the third watch, and the cooks in each camp start to light fires, and the smoke slowly rises...

Apparently, Guan Gong's entry plan doesn't seem to have changed.

And this... makes Zhuge Ke even more incredible.

"—No!"

Zhuge Ke stood in front of the door, facing the strong wind, shaking his head puzzled.

Liao Hua beside him was lying on the bed, closed his eyes and rested his mind, but asked, "What's wrong?"

"Cooking at the third watch and marching at the fifth watch, it seems...Guan Gong has not withdrawn the military order to attack Xiangfan!" Zhuge Ke's words added infinite doubts. "But that's not right. It's clear that Mr. Yunqi's words have already affected the fighting spirit of the Guan family army. The morale of the whole army is low? Why do you want to attack?"

"Perhaps..." Liao Hua pondered, "Perhaps you underestimated the Guan family army, and also underestimated Guan Gong... Among the Guan family army, Guan Gong is the belief! He said east, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire, no one will point west!"

"That's not right!" Zhuge Ke still shook his head, "Guan Gong is playing with Mr. Yunqi, otherwise, he would have no reason to do so."

"Hehe..." Hearing this, Liao Hua smiled, "It's not the first time that the Guan family father and son have gotten angry, what's the fuss?"

"But this is taking the lives of [-] soldiers to get angry!"

Zhuge Ke's tone was cold, and he shouted angrily.

Immediately afterwards, he became dazed again, but in this daze he still had some sense of loss, "Could it be... I misread Mr. Yunqi and Guan Gong?"

this time…

Liao Hua didn't reply, but just let Zhuge Ke stand in the wind.

The morning breeze was blowing and it was chilly, but... Zhuge Ke's mood was even cooler.

If... if Guan Gong only has this level.

If Mr. Yunqi only has this level, then...then maybe he really chose the wrong one.

at this time…

"Report..." One of Guan Yu's personal guards entered the account, and immediately walked in front of Liao Hua, "Master Liao, Guan Gong has an order...Master Liao will lead five thousand soldiers and horses, and set off to march towards Jiangxia immediately!"

"Ah... me? Leader? Oh... the last general takes orders, the last general takes orders—"

Liao Hua accepted the order without thinking.

He was still wondering, why him?
He is the boss, and he is a civil servant... If he leads troops to follow Guan Gong, at most... that is, he will take over cities that have already been captured.

But it's not that Liao Hua couldn't do it if he attacked the city, but Guan Gong never ordered him to do so.

and many more…

Liao Hua suddenly realized something.

This made him narrow his eyes.

——"It's Jiang Xia..."

——"That's right, it's Jiang Xia, how could it be Jiang Xia?" 』

This astonishing discovery made Liao Hua's eyes widen, and he looked at the guard in astonishment.

Zhuge Ke reacted faster, "Isn't it Fancheng? Why is it Jiangxia?"

The guard's words came out one after another, "I don't know about this last general."

"Where is Guan Gong?" Zhuge Ke asked like a cannonball.

"Guan Gong secretly mobilized all the cavalry two hours ago and marched towards Jiangxia..."

Following this voice, Zhuge Ke suddenly realized.

He exclaimed: "That is to say, Guan Gong took Fancheng in name, but his real purpose...is to mobilize Cao Wei's defenders to gather in Fancheng. ...Mr. Yunqi's proposal, he...he listened to everything."

Hearing this, Liao Hua was also surprised.

"If so..."

Zhuge Ke interrupted him, and hurriedly urged: "Master Liao, please leave quickly. Otherwise, Guan Gong will take over the new cities to the north of Jiangxia, and no one will take over the city defense."

Only then did Liao Hua fully realize...

He quickly put on his armor.

He didn't know if it was because of the nervousness when he became a general for the first time, or because of something else, he asked hastily.

"Bing...Where is Bing?"

...

In the twilight of the morning, the Guan family army's camp, the camp of Guan Ping's troops, the sun had already risen slightly, Guan Ping and his troops stood outside the camp and waited.

Many soldiers' eyes were flushed, and they looked at the camp of the Chinese army eagerly, even now.

They still hope that Guan Gong can take back his order and give up attacking Xiangfan...

But everyone knows that this is in vain.

At this time, there was a clear and eager sound of horseshoes between the sky and the earth. Guan Ping turned his head and looked up. The figure on the horse gradually became clear, it was Zhou Cang.

At this moment, Zhou Cang was flying the command flag.

"Guan Gong Order—"

Guan Ping and a group of lieutenants saluted in unison, shouting in unison—"Receive the command flag!"

Zhou Cang looked around them, and immediately ordered, "Order Yamen General Guan Ping to leave for Xiangyang immediately!"

——Xiangyang?
Guan Ping was taken aback, and quickly asked, "Why is it Xiangyang? The commander-in-law ordered last night, isn't it still Fancheng?"

Xiangyang and Fancheng are said to be separated by a river, facing each other across the river.

But it is this Jingjiang Road, if it has not been crossed, then the south side of the river will be closer to the supply line of Nanjun;

But once you cross it, you will be closer to Wan and Luo, and closer to Cao Wei's supply line.

Therefore, whether it is Fancheng or Xiangyang is actually very sensitive.

"Military orders are like a mountain, and the last general is only responsible for passing on the military orders of Guan Gong!"

Guan Ping hastily cupped his hands and took over the command flag.

Zhou Cang took out a document again, and added meaningfully: "The last general here still has a military order. Guan Gong has something to say, and it won't be too late to start the fight when the eldest son's troops arrive at the city of Xiangyang!"

"The general will obey—"

While speaking, Guan Ping had already loudly ordered the soldiers and horses of the headquarters.

"March quickly, Xiangyang—"

There were inevitably some whispers among the sergeants.

"How could it be Xiangyang?"

"That's right, attacking Fancheng... is to cut off Xiangyang's reinforcements. If Fancheng falls, Xiangyang will be destroyed without attacking. Why attack Xiangyang alone first?"

"You just heard that besides issuing military orders, Guan Gong also gave the eldest son a military order?"

For a while, waves of doubts shrouded the hearts of every Guan Family Army soldier.

5000 soldiers and horses have already begun to rush!

Over there...

Guan Xing, Guan Yinping, Guan Suo...respectively led their own soldiers and horses. They gathered in one place and waited eagerly for their father to issue the final marching order.

The morale of all the sergeants is low, and one by one is sluggish, as if...

Under the terrifying "prophecy" of the Fourth Young Master, they already saw themselves killed in battle at the foot of Fancheng.

There are quite a few more, because they couldn't sleep at night, and they tossed and turned... Now their eyes are red, and their faces are full of grievances.

But because he is a member of the proud Guan family army.

The military order is like a mountain...

Knowing that it was a sea of ​​swords and fire, as long as Guan Gong gave orders, he would never hesitate.

Finally, Zhou Cang finally arrived.

He held up the command flag and cut straight to the point: "Guan Gong has an order. The soldiers and horses here are divided into four, led by Zhou Cang, Guan Xing, Guan Yinping, and Guan Suo. They will immediately set off to the north of Jiangxia! ', 'Pingchun', 'Zhuxian' launched a general attack!"

Zhou Cang did not forget to add: "Last night, Guan Gong led his elite cavalry to go to Jiangxia's governing place 'Xiling' in advance...Guan Gong has ordered that if all the counties and counties north of Cao Wei and Jiangxia cannot be conquered within three days, they will be dealt with by military law!"

——Jiang Xia!
When the word "Jiang Xia" came out again and again from Zhou Cang's mouth, all the soldiers of the relevant army were surprised at first, and then fell into a silence that could hear the needle drop.

But less than ten breaths of time.

Uproar...

There was an uproar here.

——It was Jiangxia that was attacked, not Xiangfan.

Mr. Yunqi's prophecy, if he attacks Xiangfan, he will die ten times and no one will live, then... it doesn't matter.

They, they don't have to die.

Wait, Mr. Yunqi seems to have another prophecy that if he attacks Jiang Xia, he will be caught.

What does this mean?It shows that Jiang Xia is a soft persimmon.

is bloodless;
It is as easy as pie!
Doesn't this mean...

Jiang Xia is a big piece of fat, a great achievement, whoever grabs it will get it?
In just a moment, this idea quickly rose in the hearts of every soldier.

All of a sudden, the indifference of the officers and soldiers of the Guan family army disappeared.

The eyes that had been tormented all night suddenly burst into green light.

Desperate people, suddenly no longer desperate, suddenly saw hope, from the bottom of their hearts, they gave birth to something beyond ordinary people!

They trembled one by one, and everyone suddenly became excited and excited!

——"Break Jiangxia, make a great contribution!"

I don't know who started it.

All of a sudden, all the soldiers of the three armies shouted in unison - "Break Jiangxia, make a great contribution!"

——"Break Jiangxia, make a great contribution!"

The momentum is like a rainbow.

Who would have thought that before just half a cup of tea, every soldier of the Guan family army here still looked sluggish.

But after only half a cup of tea, they swept away the haze, they were alive and well, and their momentum was like a rainbow!
Guan Xing, Guan Yinping, and Guan Suo also looked at each other incredulously.

Under huge mood swings.

Guan Suo shouted excitedly.

"—Father, the commander-in-chief has surrendered! Fourth brother won, fourth brother won!"

Guan Yinping showed a relieved smile, while Guan Xing frowned, and reminded him sternly: "Don't say so much, the father's army has already rushed to Jiangxia, I should leave quickly! Don't let father Shuai is left alone and helpless."

At this moment, Zhou Cang's resonant voice has already risen.

"—The whole army listens to my orders and marches quickly, Jiang Xia!"

...

...
