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

Chapter 202 Two Peaches Kill Three Soldiers!

On both sides of the Shu Road, between the lofty mountains, there are not only thousands of rocks and ravines amidst the clouds and clouds, but also the scenery of beautiful mountains and rivers, pink willows and green willows.

At this moment, on the Micang road, Zhang Xi's soldiers and horses were rushing along the mountain road between the majestic mountains.

He was the vanguard, and Cao Cao personally led the central army and followed behind him.

Bazhong leading to Micang Road;
Litchi Road leads to Fuling.

Although both are important places in central Sichuan, their strategic positions are completely different. Taking Bazhong can directly attack Chengdu, and taking Fuling...is to block Jingzhou's thousands of miles of aid.

Now...Compared to Xu Huang's capture of Fuling by taking the mountain road, Bazhong's position is undoubtedly more important, which is why Cao Cao personally held the battle for Zhang Yun.

"——General Zhang, the left wing has checked, and there is no ambush!"

"—General Zhang, the right wing has also checked, and there is no ambush."

Because of this "difficult road to Shu", and because Cao Cao was behind, Zhang Yun did not dare to be careless. Every mountain road must carefully check the surroundings to ensure... that there is no ambush.

How did Liu Bei's military adviser Pang Tong die in this mountain road?
Zhang He still heard about it.

only…

In front is "Jiangzhou", the seat of Berkshire, but along the way, where are there ambushes in all directions?

Zhang He whispered to himself: "It seems that the prime minister's strategy has worked. The entire Mi Cang Road...the Shu army has taken off the protection...unimpeded."

Speaking of this, Zhang He's son Zhang Xiong said with a smile: "Father is too careful, otherwise... I could have arrived here half a day earlier, and the prime minister is right behind. This battle...Father is bound to make a great contribution!"

Zhang Yun glanced at his son Zhang Xiong lightly, and he reminded: "The way to use troops is ever-changing. Our opponent is Zhuge Kongming. This has caused the prime minister to suffer a lot. Don't be careless!"

Suddenly, a soldier shouted towards the city of Jiangzhou: "There are people in the city!"

Zhang Yun quickly raised his head, but saw two flags fluttering on the top of the city, one side read "Han Army Division General Zhuge Liang", and the other side read "Waiting for a long time"...

The flag fluttered in the westerly wind, like a provocation to Zhang He's army.

"Are you armed in advance?"

Zhang He showed a worried expression, and he murmured, "Why is Zhuge Liang here at this time?"

With this in mind, Zhang He ordered: "Tell the prime minister, the rest of the officers and men will move forward slowly... Be careful around you."

While speaking, Zhang Yun kept holding his spear tightly. Because of his emotional infection, the entire Cao army seemed a little nervous and heavily guarded.

Speaking of...

The characteristic of Zhang He's commanding troops is "smart changes"...

This is the exact opposite of "Ma Di".

Both of them are familiar with the art of war, but one can integrate the theory of the art of war into the battlefield, adapting to local conditions and time.

One only knows "talk on paper"!
It should be known that in the historical battle of Jieting, Ma Di was trapped on the mountain by Zhang He.

He didn't panic at all, because he was referring to an article in "Sun Tzu's Art of War: Nine Places"-survive after death, and live after death.

According to this art of war, if they are put to death, the soldiers will fight to the end in order to survive, and their fighting power will explode several times.

But Zhang Xi understood too well, he specially left a gap in the encirclement, and with the hope of escape, Ma Di's soldiers were more than half less willing to die.

Zhang He then set up an ambush at the gap and knocked out Ma Di's soldiers one by one.

This is an article in "Sun Tzu's Art of War·Military Struggle" that "the encirclement must be lacking"!
This is a clever change... It is reading military books, but not rote books!
It is precisely for this reason that Zhang Yun is well versed in the art of war, even if it is a surprise attack, he is cautious and never dares to underestimate his opponent.

What's more, this time, his opponent is Zhuge Kongming.

The army moved forward slowly and stayed close to Jiangzhou. Zhang He was shocked to find that Zhuge Liang was standing on the tower. He looked around subconsciously, but found that the city gate was open and several veterans were cleaning it.

Zhang He was puzzled, but extremely alert...

"The shields are on both sides, and the crossbowmen are in the middle. Watch out for ambushes!"

Zhang He once again won the command.

The entire Cao army quickly changed its formation.

Suddenly, there was a call from the nearby bushes.

"Shoot—" Zhang Xi gave an order, and countless arrows were fired... Rows of feathered arrows covered the forest densely, but... only a few elk in the forest fell down.

Everyone took a long breath, only to realize that they were too nervous and too sensitive. .

call…

Zhang He adjusted his mood. He looked at Zhuge Liang on the tower, and whispered softly, "Is it a mystery, or is there an ambush? Since the city gate is open, why not..."

Immediately, Zhang He pointed his gun at Zhuge Liang on the tower.

"—Send five hundred soldiers into the city!"

"No!" At this moment, a voice whistled, Zhang Yun turned his head, and Cao Cao rode out amidst the guards of a group of tiger and cardinal troops.

"Prime Minister..." Zhang He quickly cupped his hands and explained: "The gate of Jiangzhou City is open, and Zhuge Liang is on the tower of Jiangzhou City. At the end, the general plans to send a small army to test its depth and make a decision!"

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, but did not answer.

He just looked at the city tower, at Zhuge.

Battle of Chibi, Huarong together.

That fiasco, that defeat... was vivid in his mind, as if reappearing in front of his eyes again, awakening the depths of his memory.

In Cao Cao's eyes...

Zhuge Liang is comparable to Zhou Yu, and Zhuge Liang is more cautious and meticulous than Zhou Yu.

How can such a person take risks alone...

How could there be no ambushes in Jiangzhou city?
Cao Cao is suspicious by nature...

When he was growing up in Banpo, Zhang Fei could drive back Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of soldiers with a few dozen rides.

Not to mention now, Jiangzhou is ten times more mysterious than under the Dangyang Bridge?
"Prime Minister, no matter what...send a small group of troops to investigate and find out the truth...this is the best policy!" Zhang Xi knows how to be flexible. At this time, when the opponent is suspicious, he should first find out the truth.

Cao Cao stretched out his hand. "Not busy...wait a minute!"

In recent years, too many stories about Chibi have spread to Cao Cao's ears, and Chibi's defeat... Cao Cao has had countless nightmares in these years.

Especially that Dongfeng.

This Zhuge Liang can borrow the east wind, he is very evil!
——He is the villager of Zhuge;
——It’s Zhuge Monster!

From the bottom of my heart, the more Zhuge Liang opened the city gate, the more fearful Cao Cao became.

at this time…

A Huben soldier whispered a few words in Xu Chu's ear, and then handed Xu Chu a bamboo tube.

Xu Chu walked quickly to Cao Cao's side.

"Prime Minister... This is an urgent mail from Jingzhou. It was sent here ten days ago. A heavy snowfall trapped this urgent mail in Shangyong before. Now that the snow road has been cleared, it was sent here."

As Xu Chu spoke, he opened the bamboo tube and handed the bamboo slips inside to Cao Cao.

Because Hanzhong was newly conquered, there was no post house built between Hanzhong and the Central Plains, and the flying pigeons did not have time to train specially in the future.

Therefore, the flying pigeon is still unable to deliver the letter...

Compared with Shuzhong, the transmission of information was undoubtedly a lot slower, and it happened to be snowed heavily in Shangyong, so the letter could not be delayed.

At this moment, Cao Cao has already unfolded the letterhead.

But... the letter was not unfolded, but when it was unfolded, Cao Cao's face froze, and drops of sweat immediately formed on his forehead.

"Prime Minister..."

Zhang He and Xu Chu spoke in unison.

"Something went wrong, Wenpin died—" Cao Cao blurted out...

Ah... Zhang He and Xu Chu were both taken aback.

Wenpin is Jiang Xia's iron wall!What would Jiang Xia do if he died?
And without giving the two of them any time to be surprised, Cao Cao's words continued, "Lv Chang, Niu Jin, Man... Man Chong and Man Boning are also... dead too!"

When Man Chong's name was mentioned, Cao Cao clenched his fists, looking as if he was more mournful than heartbroken.

It seems that Man Chong is extremely important in Cao Cao's mind.

However, the death of these people is not what Cao Cao regrets the most.

The way they died... just... just!
At this moment, Zhang He was also very surprised when he heard this, but...he couldn't help but look at Jiangzhou. He knew that he shouldn't remind Cao Cao at this time, but...such a good opportunity, I missed it...but...but At once…

With a sound of "gudong", Zhang He swallowed his saliva, and still boldly reminded: "The prime minister's condolences, but now... take Jiangzhou first, and the final general is willing to bring a small army into the city to see what's going on! Find out the truth for the prime minister .”

Zhang He's tone was solemn.

But Cao Cao raised his hand and shouted angrily, "Jun Yi, do you know how Bo Ning and the others died?"

Cao Cao's emotions suddenly became extremely agitated. He faced Zhang He, but pointed at Jiangzhou City.

"——Wenpin was going to burn a batch of unsuspecting warships, but was stopped by Guan Yunchang, and his head was beheaded with one knife!"

"——Bo Ning was going to rob an enemy village that he thought was defenseless, and was pierced by thousands of arrows... Yun Chang is upright, how could he make such a conspiracy, it must be a trick set up by this villager Zhuge, He has won the four favorite generals of Gu, and now...he wants to win you handsome! Gu has already defeated them, and he can't lose you again!"

Cao Cao's voice was extremely tragic, hoarse and exhausted.

He seems to be deeply determined all of a sudden...

There must be many ambushes in Jiangzhou city!

Over there...

On the tower of Jiangzhou City, when Ma Di saw the surging Cao army below the city, his expression became congealed, and he felt extremely nervous.

The flag with the word "Zhang" raised high undoubtedly refers to Cao Cao's only general surnamed Zhang in Hanzhong, one of the five good generals-Zhang He.

Ma Di also noticed how the enemy general Zhang He bowed his hands in humility in front of a black-robed man.

Ma Su said: "As expected by the military adviser, Cao Cao didn't go south to help Xiangfan. He...he hid in Hanzhong, and set up this treacherous plan, intending to seek this Bazhong."

"It's not just Bazhong?" Zhuge Liang said with a gloomy gaze, "I'm afraid that Fuling on Lizhi Road will also be doomed..."

"The military division means..." Ma Di asked in surprise.

"The most urgent thing is to keep one place." Zhuge Liang sighed softly... He noticed that Cao Cao in the city seemed to have a dispute with Zhang He.

Zhuge Liang smiled contemptuously, "Young Chang, play the piano!"

Ma Di listened to the order to set up the incense burner and Suqin.

Next...according to Zhuge Liang's order, there was also a water cup to be placed, but while placing it, Ma Di inadvertently saw the city, met Cao Cao's sharp eyes, and his heart trembled.

With a "bang", the water cup fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Cao Cao at the bottom of the city naturally saw the falling lamp clearly. The deaths of Wenpin, Man Chong and others were vivid in his mind. He quickly reined in like a snake like a snake.

A group of tiger and cardinal soldiers understood, and raised their shields one after another, blocking the left and right, for fear that a strong crossbow would be shot from both sides.

As if, all of them thought that this was Zhuge Liang's "throwing the lamp as a sign", and the enemy troops from all directions were about to rush out.

After Zhuge Liang saw it, he smiled knowingly. He knew that Cao Cao was suspicious by nature... but he never thought that he was so shadowy.

This made Zhuge Liang more calm, and he bowed his hands politely to Cao Cao with a calm expression, as if to comfort him
——"Cao Cao, Cao Cao, your suspicion has not changed at all! 』

Immediately, Zhuge Liang picked up the water cup himself, gently put it back on the table, and sat down.

Ma Di asked: "Can the military master play the piano to scare away the Cao thief?"

"I'm not scaring him, I'm persuading him!" Zhuge Liang raised his eyes slightly, and he looked at Cao Cao, as if he could see through Cao Cao's state of mind.

He said no more, but slowly raised his hand to try a few notes on the qin, and the leisurely qin sound suddenly sounded from the city tower.

Cao Cao once studied in Taixue, one of the "music" among the six arts of a gentleman, he has learned, and he can hear that Zhuge Liang's song is "Liang Fu Yin" composed by himself.

On Wollongong, Zhuge Liang's close friend Cui Zhouping played for Cao Cao.

Cao Cao, who was already a bit of a soldier, frowned, squinted his eyes... and softly recited the words and phrases of "Liang Fu Yin": "...power can conquer the Nanshan Mountains, and it can also destroy the discipline. Once he was slandered, two peaches kill three warriors... two peaches kill three warriors!"

"Isn't this Zhuge villager ambush? Why didn't he lure me, but advised me... to leave?"

While chanting these words...

Cao Cao's mood became more and more tense and puzzled, and his frightened mood suddenly seemed to be covered with a thick layer of suspicion.

— Suspicious!
...

...

Soochow's movement was played again in the palace.

After receiving Zhuge Jin's letter, Sun Quan read it three times over and over again... before Lu Meng was sent to discuss the matter.

During this time, the governor Lu Su fell, and Lu Xun went south to Jiaozhou. Sun Quan became more and more fond of chatting with this former "Amon under Wu"...

Today's Lu Meng distributes Tuqiang, which can already be said to have some strategies in his stomach.

"My lord..."

Lu Meng rushed over and immediately bowed to Sun Quan.

Sun Quan motioned for him to read Zhuge Jin's letter on the table.

Lu Meng didn't hesitate, and quickly unfolded... He glanced at it roughly, and then exclaimed: "Ziyu wants the master to send the governor to Changsha for treatment? How can this be done?"

Lu Meng seemed to be quite resistant...

——There is no such rule!

What if... the chief governor's illness was cured, but he was eventually taken hostage in Jingzhou?How about that?

Isn't this a sheep into a tiger's mouth?

Need to know...

When later generations judge Lu Meng, they will often say that - Lu Meng has no big plans, and cannot be compared with Lu Su!
This is true.

Lu Meng's insidious actions such as "crossing the river in white clothes" are enough to show that he does not have a broad mind...

And a narrow-minded person is bound to use the most sinister ideas to figure out people's hearts.

"Gu saw the upper half of Tzuyu's letter, and was furious..."

Sun Quan opened his mouth again, "Gu even scolded him... This time I went to Jingzhou as an envoy, but I didn't make any achievements, but I failed for a while, but... but the rest of this letter, Ziyu wrote some truth, which made Gu's eyes shine. "

It should be noted that the content behind Zhuge Jin is nothing more than what Guan Lin said.

——Guan Lin intends to give Hefei to Lu Zijing as a meeting gift.

These words are too tempting.

——Hefei is a difficult hurdle for Sun Quan and all Jiangdong civil and military!

As long as Hefei can be broken...

Soochow can let go of everything!

And this sentence directly made Sun Quan look sideways at Guan Lin.

"My lord believes in that kid?" Lu Meng asked puzzledly: "This Guan Lin is only 15 years old, has no hair on his mouth, and is not secure in his work. His words... can you believe it? Could it be that he... tricked the governor to go to Jingzhou, and then..."

Before Lu Meng finished speaking, Sun Quan waved his hand to signal him not to say any more.

Sun Quan paused, and said softly: "Recently, although Ziyu has been ineffective in handling things, Gu believes in his vision and his loyalty to Gu, not to mention the words of Guan Lin and Guan Yunqi mentioned in Ziyu's letter ..."

"Is it this sentence?" Lu Meng pointed to a column on the letter paper without thinking, and he read out, "Guan Linyan, 'If you don't help Soochow find Hefei? So Soochow is like a trapped beast, and it is bound to covet Jingzhou. The alliance between Sun and Liu is eternally estranged, so... this Guan Lin decided to save Zijing and help Zijing win Hefei, which is not harmful to Jingzhou! Cooperation will benefit both!'”

Because after reading it again, Lu Meng... couldn't help thinking.

"So...Guan Lin is sincere! It's just...Is the governor willing to go?"

Lu Meng just blurted out these words...

"I...cough..."

"I'd rather—"

But a hoarse voice came from the palace door...

Sun Quan was startled, and quickly turned to meet him.

"Zijing, you are so ill, how did you come here?"

Today's Lu Su is slightly better than before, and his cheeks are also more energetic.

Although the coughing sound is still there, but... he can already walk a little with the support of the guards.

It was also a coincidence, when Lu Su heard that Zhuge Jin had sent a letter back, he couldn't hold his breath, so he rushed to Sun Quan's side immediately.

At this moment, he said softly: "Just now, my lord's words, Ziyu's letter...cough cough...I...cough cough...I...I heard it all!"

Lu Su's voice was especially hoarse, and he tried his best to smile.

"Haha, Guan Yunqi has gained a lot of fame recently. He can save Zhang Zhongjing, maybe... in the hands of him and Zhang Zhongjing, he can also heal me and save me? What's more, he wants to give me the method of Hefei? I... how can I not give up my life to accompany the gentleman?"

"Zijing, I'm just worried about you!" Sun Quan frowned... with a worried tone.

"I'm not well?" Lu Su deliberately let the attendant stand aside, he tried his best to walk a few steps, wanting to prove that his illness was much better.

Ha ha…

Lu Su smiled and said, "Don't worry, my lord, the battle of the Eastern Wu trapped beasts has not been broken yet, Su... Su dare not fall! Su is also reluctant to part with my lord!"

Lu Su's voice seemed to be extremely difficult, as if every sentence was exhausted.

Need to know...

Lu Su in history fell two years later.

It fell during the plague that swept the entire Eastern time.

The cough that tormented him lasted for two full years.

Now, it is just the beginning.

"My lord, send the ship quickly! Cough...soldiers...soldiers are precious!"

Lu Su's words continued to spread.

The so-called military is expensive and fast in his mouth is not his illness...but...it is Hefei. He is too eager to know, what Guan Lin said about Hefei's strategy to break the situation!

even if...

Even if he takes his life, if Hefei can be taken away, it will be enough to comfort his life.

"Okay...ok..." Sun Quan agreed with difficulty, "Since Zijing is so persistent, then I will prepare the boat now, and send the boat to send Zijing there now!"

...

...

Bazhong, above the city tower of Jiangzhou.

The melodious piano sound played by Zhuge Liang continued.

At first, the sound of the zither is leisurely and elegant, making people feel like being in the mountains and rivers. From a distance, Zhuge Liang at the top of the city is also calm and intoxicated by his zither sound.

The meaning of this score "Liang Fu Yin"... seems to be played through the sound of the piano.

Tell Cao Cao eloquently.

——Looking at the bleak and dead Dangyin, there are three tombs closely connected there, all of which are very similar in shape and size.

— May I ask whose cemetery is this?Tian Kaijiang, Guyezi and Gongsun.

——Their strength can overthrow Nanshan Mountain and cut the rope that binds the earth. Unexpectedly, once they were slandered, two little peaches killed three warriors.

—Who could conceive of such a trick?He is Yan Zi, Prime Minister of Qi State.

Listening to Zhuge Liang's piano over and over again...

Cao Cao could understand what he meant.

He can also understand why Zhuge Liang played this song—"Liang Fu Yin"

Ha ha…

Cao Cao sneered, and he could not help but mutter in his heart:

——"There must be an ambush in Jiangzhou, but after all, it seems that Zhuge Kongming doesn't want to fight either!"He is trying to persuade Gu not to fight! 』

——"Two peaches kill three scholars, two peaches kill three scholars, so it is so, so it is..."

...
