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

Chapter 203

In this song "Liang Fu Yin", the sound of the piano is still the same.

The tune played by Zhuge Liang gradually accelerated, as if a stream that was originally flowing smoothly became turbulent due to the terrain.

Then, as the sound of the zither was played faster and faster, as if the stream had merged into a river, the water suddenly became more turbulent and rushed downstream.

At this moment, the story of two peaches killing three soldiers came to Cao Cao's mind.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, Gongsun Jie, Tian Kaijiang, and Guyezi were the courtiers of Duke Jing of Qi, and they were brave and arrogant.

Qi Xiangyan Ying wanted to get rid of these three people, so he asked Jing Gong to give them two peaches, and asked him to take the peaches according to merit, but all three committed suicide by abandoning the peaches.

——"Two peaches kill three warriors!" 』

Cao Cao couldn't help but chant this sentence again.

He looked up at Zhuge Liang, and couldn't help driving his horse forward.

"Prime Minister, be careful! Watch out for backstabbing!"

Zhang He quickly stopped, but if Cao Cao didn't hear, Zhang He could only lead his troops forward to guard and hold up his shields. At this moment, they were already within the range of Jiangzhou City.

"Prime Minister..." Zhang Yun continued.

Cao Cao raised his hand and stopped him from speaking.

Zhuge Liang narrowed his eyes slightly, and saw Cao Cao approaching. Sweat was dripping from his temples, but there was a smile on his mouth.

The melody gradually slowed down, soft as if telling, and Zhuge Liang's voice seemed to be integrated into the sound of the piano.

"I've heard about you Cao Cao's name for a long time. Today, the gate of Jiangzhou city is opened. I will give you the right time and place. If you take Jiangzhou down, Bazhong can be settled. If Bazhong is settled, you can look at Shuzhong in the distance, and the decisive battle will begin! Let me go! There are thousands of troops ambushing in the gate, you, Cao Cao, should make a breakthrough, right? Just like when you broke into Puyang City, Lu Bu pointed his helmet with a halberd and asked you, "Where is Cao Cao?" How would you answer—— 'He is the one riding the yellow horse ahead!'”

Cao Cao squinted his eyes, feeling Zhuge Liang's heart in the sound of the piano.

He couldn't help answering in his heart: "Aren't you afraid? Even if you lose the army, if you are captured alone, what hope does your lord have?"

Across a city wall, the eyes of the two met, as if they were talking, more like playing a game.

The sound of the piano also began to become more intense.

"Liang is setting up an ambush in the city, but Liang is not sure of victory. You, Cao Cao, are not sure that you can capture this Bazhong, right? You are not sure that you can capture this Xichuan, right? Liang is playing the piano on the tower today, not showing weakness. It's not a temptation, but a reminder to you, a hero, that you have been away from the Central Plains for half a year, how long do you plan to stay in this Shu Road? One or two years, I can afford it, but can you Cao Cao keep it? You Is the rear stable?"

It's still a common topic.

Since Cao Cao became the public, the clan that once supported him, Wei Wu raised his whip, and established hegemony began a huge backlash against Cao Cao.

——Xun Yu, Xun You, Cui Yan.

These counselors and talents who once supported him, advised him, and pointed out the maze turned their backs on him one by one.

——Anyone whose surname is not Liu cannot be called king.

Cao Cao finally stabbed the hornet's nest.

Han Dynasty...

After all, they still live in the experiential world of these aristocratic families.

This is also the reason why Cao Cao did not dare to go on an expedition for a long time. After capturing Hanzhong and Zhang Lu surrendered, he sent Xiahou Dun back to Xudu without stopping.

Even today, Cao Cao is still hesitating whether he should go south.

What he hesitated about...

It seemed that at this moment, it was all transmitted to Cao Cao's mind through Zhuge Liang's piano sound and his heartfelt voice.

"Cao Cao, you don't dare to stay on the road to Shu for a long time. Your rear is not stable... Those aristocratic families you once relied on are all staring at you now? Once you have a decisive battle with my lord, once you are trapped On this road to Shu, you can't get away, the Central Plains and the northern border... who else can stabilize the situation?"

"What's more, in the history of such a difficult thing as entering Shu, except for Qin who took advantage of the local civil strife to take advantage of the situation to enter Shu; except for Emperor Guangwu's two-way assault on the Yangtze River and Longyou; except for Liu Zhang, the shepherd of Yizhou who sent my master 'Come in, who else has done that?"

"It should not be said, Wei is not Qin, you Cao Cao is not Emperor Guangwu, you can't stand on the Yangtze River! And Hanzhong attacked Shu, Baishui, Jiameng, Jiange... These three natural dangers, can you beat them? I Lord Liu Bei was not blocked by these three natural dangers, especially for two full years, my lord can afford it, can you Cao Cao afford it?"

"Cao Cao, I played this "Liang Fu Yin" to tell you that in "Liang Fu Yin", Gongsun can defeat a wild boar and defeat a tigress, Tian Kaijiang can repel the enemy twice, defend the soil and open the border, and Gu Yezi can sneak into In the water, go against the current for a hundred steps to kill the "River God". They were so brave, but they were killed by Yan Zi's "Tao Tao". It is true that you Cao Cao beat them several times, but how many "Qi Prime Minister Yan Zi" are there in the Central Plains? How many people want to split your Wei with 'two peaches'!"

"You are already 60 years old, and you are very old. If you spend time in Bashu? Die in Bashu! The net in Weiyang Palace may have been prepared for your descendants of Cao Wei. This city... If you Cao Cao dare to break into it, Liang and You died, but Wei Zhi was buried with you, so I have no regrets!"

Zhuge Liang plays "Liang Fu Yin"... like waves.

In this chaotic piece, the inner voice floats out.

——Cao Cao, you are not young anymore!

——At the end of this life, the most important thing should not be to expand the territory and dominate the world, it should be to beware of "two peaches kill three soldiers", it should be to find a way to land smoothly!
——How many people in this world fly high enough, but fail to land smoothly in the end?Aren't these people pitiful?

As Zhuge Liang's piano sound became more intense, Cao Cao's eyes suddenly opened.

Zhuge Liang's piece, his reminder... Cao Cao understood it thoroughly.

Why is there an ambush in the city, but he still plays the piano at the top of the city.

He was talking about Zhuge Liang's dilemma, Cao Cao's dilemma, they are rivals, but they are in such a similar situation...

——Their biggest enemy is not foreign troubles, but internal troubles!
They also have all kinds of difficulties, they shouldn't fight this battle, and they can't fight it!
At this moment, Cao Cao held his head up, and his eyes were full of "admiration" when he looked at Zhuge Liang...

At this moment, Cao Cao seemed to see the shadow of Xun Yu in a trance.

It's like it's not Zhuge Liang who plays the piano at the head of Jiangzhou City, but Xun Yu, Cao Cao's "ovary"!

Don't look at Cao Cao's life in this life is like a heifer making wires - he is always coaxing and hanging lightning!

Seemingly shrewd and great.

But in fact, his mind is often confused.

He will miss Xuzhou in the initial stage, when he and Lu Buzheng are torn;

After the big victory at Guandu, he would not think about going north, thinking about going south to fight Liu Biao;
These are the ultimate tricks.

And the reason why it didn't cause a catastrophe.

It is precisely because, in the past few decades, Xun Yu, a top strategist, has always dragged him to prevent him from going astray!
But who would have thought that three years ago, Xun Yu, a Han official, "had no official salary to speak of", and he "suicided" himself by taking poison.

This "Great Strategist" who once held him by one hand to prevent him from going astray, after his death...a huge wave of anti-Cao was set off throughout the Central Plains and the Northern Territory.

His Cao Cao's "ovary", after death... suddenly became a huge obstacle for Cao Cao to take another step forward.

As a result, in the past three years, the political situation in the Central Plains and the North has been extremely turbulent!

These three years have been the most difficult three years for Cao Cao since the defeat of Chibi.

"I'm so sorry—"

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, and murmured at Zhuge Liang in Jiangzhou City.

What he was thinking about was his ovary, "Liu Bei still has Zhuge Kongming's 'ovary', but the lonely 'ovary' is gone!"

Thinking of this, Cao Cao's heart was filled with mixed feelings.

——"I'm not a duke anymore, Mr. Xun Ling...how are you back?" 』

Cao Cao's sudden action caused Zhang He and his son to look sideways. They both looked at him in surprise, and looked at Zhuge Liang nervously. Zhang He couldn't help but wonder.

——"The prime minister looks like this, after all, can he enter the city or not?" 』

Zhuge Liang in Jiangzhou City didn't know Cao Cao's mental journey.

While he was playing the piano, he looked at the appearance of Cao Cao in the city. Ma Di could feel that his clothes were soaked with sweat.

"Cao Cao, my lord hates you, my lord can't wait to suck your bone marrow, what my lord is holding high is the banner of 'Chinese and traitors can't live side by side', after all, my lord has removed the outer protection, this is to tell you, Don't move forward! At this moment, the decisive battle on the road of Shu, whether it is you or my lord, is not the time. My lord asked Liang to bring a word to you Cao Cao. One day, my lord will hunt with you on the battlefield. A showdown!"

The sound of the piano is already sonorous and majestic at this moment, like thousands of troops fighting, like the sound of knives and guns!
Zhang Yun became more and more anxious, and he couldn't help but said: "Prime Minister... If there is an ambush, Zhuge Liang will definitely lure our army into the city? Why do you need to set up this suspicious formation? Let the last general lead his troops to go in first, and if he is caught in an ambush, the prime minister will do it later." It's not too late..."

Without waiting for Zhang Yun to finish speaking.

But saw a vanguard pawn standing up, this pawn was tall and burly and said: "My name is Wang Ping, he is a Brazilian, and now he is a ten-man commander of the Wei army. General Zhang's life is related to the command of the army, and there must be Lost, let the little one go to find out."

It was Wang Ping who spoke, the one who cooperated with Ma Di in Jieting in history.

It should be known that he was not a general of the Shu Han at the beginning, but after Zhang Lu Hanzhong surrendered, he followed the seven surnamed Yi kings of Brazil 'Pu Hu' Ju Bayi and Cong (cóng) Min to attach themselves to Cao Cao.

Wang Ping is one of these "Jin people", and now he is the commander of the ten men in the Cao army.

The surrender to Shu was after the Battle of Dingjunshan.

only…

Although Wang Ping made this decision, Cao Cao's state of mind has undergone tremendous changes.

In the past, there was a general from Jingzhou, but now he understands Kong Ming's mind.

Cao Cao has realized that at this time, it is meaningless whether to slap the chin.

He can't afford to waste on this Shu road!

He must go back immediately...he cannot be dragged here by Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.

Just like the state of mind expressed in the sound of Zhuge Liang's piano.

It is important to rule the world, but he is 60 years old, his son has not been decided, and the obstacles have not been removed.

What he needs to solve now is not external aggression, but internal problems.

That's it!

That's it!

——Cao Cao has made up his mind!
On the contrary, Wang Ping's tone was firm, and he emphasized again: "Prime Minister Cao, let me go... My life is low, and I will go into the city. Even if there is an ambush, it will not hurt me to die alone."

While speaking, Wang Ping raised his halberd and wanted to go forward.

But hearing a "shua", Cao Cao drew out his sword and stopped in front of Wang Ping.

Zhang He was shocked, "Prime Minister!"

However, Cao Cao pressed the halberd in Wang Ping's hand with his sword, and his voice raised: "Ten Commander Wang Ping! You just said something wrong!"

"what--"

Wang Ping was startled, how could he have expected... the prime minister would be like this.

While Zheng Zheng was amazed, Cao Cao's words came out one after another, "The lives of every brave soldier under the solitary men are not worthless!"

"Prime Minister..." Zhang He was about to speak.

Cao Cao got off his horse, and he put the cloak on Wang Ping himself. Wang Ping couldn't help but cupped his hands: "Prime Minister!"

Cao Cao immediately ordered, "The villager Zhuge set up an ambush in the city. This Wang Ping wanted to break into it for Gu and take a look. He said that his life is humble, and it doesn't hurt to kill him. Wrong, wrong, the lives of every soldier in our Wei army You are not humble, every single one of you will die, I will regret it unceasingly, how can it be 'no harm!'”

Speaking of this, Cao Cao waved his hand, "Retreat, retreat, the lonely book can be captured, but I can't bear the soldiers to die on this thousands of miles of Shu Road, retreat, retreat! Order the whole army, the front team becomes the rear team ,withdraw!"

This...Although Zhang Yun was puzzled, since Cao Cao had ordered this, what else could he do.

Immediately command the soldiers and horses to evacuate quickly.

Cao Cao did not forget to tell Zhang He, "Let Xu Huang withdraw too!"

"Prime Minister...isn't it..." Zhang Yun wanted to propose, but when he saw Cao Cao's weak cheek, he quickly bowed his hand.

"Here!"

For a while, the menacing Wei army retreated like a tide, and the entire mountain was full of retreating figures of Cao's army.

Exhausted, Zhuge Liang slowly stood up while supporting the desk, and sat down slumped as if his whole body had been emptied as he watched the smoke and dust receding away.

Ma Di hurriedly supported him and exclaimed: "The Prime Minister retreated Cao Cao from the empty city, this miracle is also..."

The general stationed here climbed up with hands and feet, and said in disbelief, "Cao Jun retreated, really retreated."

Zhuge Liang wiped his sweat lightly, and said in a calm tone again.

"Just back!"

The general here was surprised and at a loss, he wondered: "But...but why?"

Zhuge Liang smiled softly, "If Bazhong is taken, my lord will definitely have a decisive battle with Cao Cao. If this battle is really going to happen, it will be two evils for both sides!"

Ma Su frowned and pondered, he suddenly thought of something, and quickly reminded: "No, the military adviser just said... Fuling..."

Zhuge Liang's expression froze again.

"——There is only one Cao Cao, he came to Bazhong, Fuling... No matter what, he can't hold it anymore!"

"——It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. I will withdraw quickly and prepare to counterattack back to Fuling! If Cao Cao understands this song, he will not be eager to fight in Shu."

...

...

Changsha, beside the Laodao River, the flowing water is gurgling, and the falling flowers form a stream.

Guan Lin threw stones into the river boredly, while Zhuge Jin looked up at the end of the Xiangjiang River, where the water and the sky lined up.

"You said... will your Marquis Wu send Mr. Zijing?"

Guan Lin asked with great interest.

He was actually quite clueless.

Zhuge Jin shook his head, "It's hard to figure out what Marquis Wu is thinking...but..."

"But what?"

"But as you said, Hefei is Marquis Wu's heart disease. In order to overcome this heart disease, Marquis Wu may..." Zhuge Jin realized that he didn't need to reply to this kid in the middle of his words.

Talking to this kid, you have to have 1 minds, otherwise... Baobuqi will be fooled by him, and he will count the money for this kid!

——"Patta..." Another stone was thrown, and Guan Lin's eyes were fixed on the water pattern...

He said in his mouth, "Mr. Zhuge, why don't you continue talking?"

But Zhuge Jin changed the subject: "Since the fourth son cares about the governor, shouldn't he care about your father? Now he is going north to attack Xiangfan. I heard that there is heavy snow in Jingbei. Your father is for brotherhood and for the sake of the Han Dynasty." Zhongxing... the Northern Expedition is not going to be easy!"

"Pull it down—" Guan Lin blurted out, "My father...I don't even bother to mention him!"

Yes, Guan Lin is in Changsha, so he cares about his father alone?He can't wait to fuck Jiangxia, fuck Xiangfan...fuck the heart of his whole family.

He and his father Guan Yu, who is not easy?

"Ugh…"

Thinking of this, Guan Lin sighed.

——"With such a father, being a son is really tiring! 』

Zhuge Jin keenly caught Guan Lin's expression, and felt emotional.

——"This pair of Guan family father and son are like enemies! 』

Thinking of this, Zhuge Jin changed the subject again, "The thief Cao set off in May, and captured Hanzhong in July. It has been more than three months now, and I don't know whether he will go south to Bashu. In the past, I never Returning from the middle of Shu, it can be said that people are in a state of panic, what does Fourth Master Guan think?"

"No!" Guan Lin didn't think twice...

"Why?" Zhuge Jin asked quickly, muttering in his heart, isn't this too firm?

"That's a long story..." Guan Lin spread his hands.

"I have nothing to do." Zhuge Jin was very interested... "Maybe you might as well talk about it..."

Guan Lin didn't answer immediately, but could not help squinting his eyes and began to think about it.

In fact, the problem appeared as early as in Zhuge Liang's examination paper.

At that time, Guan Lin was sure that Cao Cao would never go south.

certainly…

The reason for his decision was not Cao Ren's fainting, Cao Chun's fall, nor Man Chong, Wenpin, Lu Chang, Niu Jin... This is the death of half of Cao Wei Xiangfan's military generals.

Speaking of which, these are all...accidents!
It's all because Guan Lin made up random papers to deal with Zhuge Liang's exam papers.

In fact, Cao Cao in history attacked Hanzhong in July, and he went back in December...

After yelling for a long time in the south of Bashu, the thunder and rain finally ended.

What is it like "people are not satisfied with suffering, and they have gained a lot, so they look back to Shu"? It seems that Cao Cao has no greed at all.

But in fact, these are all bullshit...

The reason why Cao Cao was in Long but not in Shu...

What is the essential reason?
See what Cao Cao did after he came back, and you will understand everything.

——In the 20th year of Jian'an, in December, Cao Cao returned from Nanzheng, leaving Xia Houyuan to guard Hanzhong.

——The 21st year of Jian'an.

In February, Cao Cao returned to Yecheng.

In May, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty Liu Xie made Cao Cao the king of Wei, with [-] households in the town.

He sits on the princes and kings, and he does not proclaim his ministers when he performs affairs, and he does not worship when he is ordered. .

During this period, Cao Cao was still a Hanchen in name, but in fact he was already the "emperor".

In July, the Southern Xiongnu Chanyu Huchuquan came to congratulate Cao Cao with the etiquette of congratulating the emperor, but was detained by Cao Cao in Yecheng. Cao Cao took the opportunity to divide the Southern Xiongnu into five tribes, and selected Han people as Sima to supervise them.

——22 years of Jian'an

In April, the emperor ordered Cao Cao to set up the emperor's banner and call it a police station when he went in and out.

It means that when the emperor enters and exits, he should be alert on the road he passes, clear the road and stop walking.

That is to say, to close the road and let the people avoid it on the road.

In the tenth month of winter, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty bestowed on Cao Cao a crown of ten and two crowns, riding a golden root chariot, driving six horses, and setting up an auxiliary chariot at five o'clock.

Cao Cao took Cao Pi, the man of five senses, as the crown prince of Wei.

to here…

It is not difficult to see that it took Cao Cao two years after returning to Xudu.

In the past two years, whether it is the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms or the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, all records are very vague...

However, Cao Cao has completed the entire evolution process from "Wei Gong" to "Wei King", and then to almost the same ritual system as "Son of Heaven".

Two years later, Cao Cao is no longer the northern captain of Luoyang who cast a five-color stick to beat the powerful;
It is no longer an order to promulgate ten crimes, punish the powerful, and return the people to the sky;

No longer the Prime Minister of Jinan who destroyed the obscene temple;
No longer a Yilang who dares to speak out...

Not to mention that, the Eighteenth Route princes begged for Dong, shouted such rhetoric as "Your lords face north, I face west", chased Dong thief alone, and finally returned in a big defeat, scolding Yuan Shao's Cao Cao who was "not enough to stand up and plan".

That was the beginning of Cao Cao's blackening.

From that moment on...

The ignorant young man who once aspired to become the "General Who Conquered the West" of the Han Dynasty, the man who once held a sword and wanted to kill the evil dragons in the world and help the righteous way are gone.

Today he...

The dragon slaying boy finally turned into a dragon!

and so…

No matter how you look at it, Guan Lin is sure that Cao Cao will never go south... Even if his head twitches and he really goes south, he will soon wake up and rein in the precipice.

He, Cao Cao, still has important things to do, the road of Shu...he can't afford it!
"Ha ha…"

Thinking of this, Guan Lin smiled slightly, and said lightly: "People's hearts are not enough to swallow an elephant, and now that we have Long, do you want to look back at Shu?"

"Your tone doesn't sound like a young man, but rather an old man who sees through everything." Zhuge Jin stroked his beard, but soon he came back to his senses: "What the fourth son means...Cao Cao won't be greedy for Bashu? It's...impossible, isn't it?"

"Anyone is greedy. If Cao Cao was as old as Marquis Wu, he would definitely go south to Bashu, but now...hehe..."

Guan Lin said with a slight smile: "Anyone will choose to be safe in the last few years of his life and choose to stabilize the interior. After all, Cao Cao, who has been fighting all his life, is no exception. This is not... Wei Shizi has not yet decided!"

"You mean..."

Zhuge Jin had just started, Guan Lin's words interrupted him again, he asked Zhuge Jin, "Mr. I have struggled for a lifetime, fought for a lifetime, acted for a lifetime, and suffered for a lifetime. This person is sixty years old... Do you still want to continue acting? Don't you think about changing the "house book" of the big guy? About the name?"

Zhuge Jin was startled, "Fang Ben'er? What is Fang Ben'er, and what is Fang Ben'er's name?"

Guan Lin didn't explain, but thought about it in his heart.

——"Old Cao is not easy. After working for a lifetime, the last few procedures of the Han family's house must be completed!" 』

——"Cao Wei's successor must be decided, right? 』

——"The conflict between the internal clan and the clan, the resistance of the clan, this series of problems must be balanced, right? 』

Guan Lin blinked his eyes...

Thinking of this, he felt dizzy for Cao Cao.

Every mine has its troubles;
Nine mines also have the troubles of nine mines!

Just as Guan Lin thought.

If Lao Cao's structure is shallow, then the structure is really shallow.

Liu Bei has struggled all his life, and he can still take a break in the middle, while "continuing to play music and continue dancing", while taking time to do some dancing!

Lao Cao has struggled all his life, and before he died, he handled the transfer procedures of the big man's house book at random... Then the descendants can change the name at any time, doesn't it seem too much?
Based on…

——Go south to Bashu!Go south and hammer a Bashu!

Guan Lin admitted that he was gambling on this matter.

But Lao Cao's pattern is bigger than Nanxia Bashu!

Guan Lin was poking his mouth, thinking about it.

But I saw a few black-clad boats approaching from far away... The soldiers on the leading fast boat shouted.

"Ziyu, the governor is here!" It was Lu Meng who shouted.

Lu Su is here...

Lu Meng personally sent him here.

...
