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

Chapter 256 It's Really Worth the Money!
Huge boulders are still falling from the mountains—

In all directions, there are gravels everywhere, dust and smoke everywhere, flying sand and stones.

The army formation of the Lu Family Army, which was majestic just before half a stick of incense, has now been completely reduced to a Shura field.

Countless soldiers of the Lu Family Army are praying in despair...

Pray that "Heavenly Arrow" will end soon.

However, the "Divine Arrow" that was [-] steps away did not intend to stop. Following the tower, the arrow pierced the air and made a continuous whistling sound.

Another burst of giant arrows came, exploding at the place where sawdust and stone piles gathered, bigger flying sand, bigger dense dust scattered...

The tens of thousands of soldiers from the Lu family crowded here were coughing desperately, separated by the dust and dust... watching the comrades who were still around just now, being blown away by the huge impact, or being submerged by more stones, the scene was extremely bloody .

here…

There were terrified cries everywhere, and they tried to take shelter, but there was nowhere to hide, because there were stone steps everywhere.

Gradually, they couldn't tell the direction, and they bumped into each other like headless flies. More people fainted or were trampled on the ground, and occasionally they heard the shrill cry from the stone.

"help me--"

"Give me a hand—"

However, this kind of voice seems to be futile in the current situation where it is difficult to protect itself.

"Climb up, climb up..."

Huge boulders were piled up everywhere, and it became extremely difficult for the Lu family army to escape. They climbed up the boulder frantically, despite the bloodstains from the stone steps all over their hands and legs.

For so many years, the belief that Lu Xun spared no effort to forge for the Lu family army collapsed and shattered in this one night!
None of the sergeants of the Lu Family Army now care about the illusory military discipline and military law, and no one would think about the consequences of retreating... What kind of consequences would it be?
In the face of life and death, nothing is important, every sergeant of the Lu family has only one thought, a pure thought, and that is to escape from here.

Leave this Shura field.

Fortunately, Lu Xun is still conscious...

Perhaps it was the bayonet left by the stones and sawdust, which made him survive under the heavy stones and sawdust, but he felt pain all over his body, and he felt that every part of his body seemed to be injured, especially Legs...his left leg is numb.

Compared with these, his mood is undoubtedly more collapsed and more pathetic.

He realized a serious fact, since Jiaozhou can shoot the crossbow bolts [-] paces away, then...the Lu family army has...no chance at all to capture Jiaozhou.

In addition, Bu Zhi was smashed into meat, which made Lu Xun think of even more terrible consequences. He realized that not only had he lost, but even if he narrowly escaped death, he would definitely lose even more tragically!

This is already no room for a comeback...

He was already deep in hopeless despair!

Thinking of this, his body trembled violently, his Adam's apple rolled, and in the thick dust and smoke, he clenched his fists and beat the floor desperately.

He whimpered and moaned.

"It's over, the Lu family is over, I, Lu Xun, are over, everything is over—"

However, even this sound was quickly drowned out by the rumbling sound of boulders... and as more and more boulders were pressed down, the broken small stones hit him, and Lu Xun felt his whole body trembling. It hurts even more!
...

Over there... Sun Ru who was originally at a high place.

She was also dumbfounded when the ten huge crossbow bolts shot from the tower like divine arrows from heaven.

And when he saw the wooden building being smashed down by huge arrows, his husband fell into it, and then countless stones buried his husband deeply.

Sun Ru ran over there subconsciously.

Along the way, she saw countless escaped Lu family soldiers, panting.

We were so lucky to sigh at each other, and we saved our lives...

Then he didn't dare to stop, and fled in a hurry.

There were also a few soldiers of the Lu family army who realized it later and asked, "Where is General Lu? Where is the patriarch?"

He thought of Lu Xun and Lu Ji...

There was only a long silence to respond to them.

Sun Ru ran towards the opposite direction with these Lu family soldiers, her tears were spinning, and she couldn't help muttering: "Bo Yan, Bo Yan—"

...

Eight oxen crossbows, ten crossbows fired at once, and the huge offensive of crossbows continued.

The entire Lu family army was in pieces. In the dust and smoke that filled the sky, the faith that had stood upright for five years was completely wiped out with the "rumbling" sound of the boulder falling.

The standing chariots, the scattered ladders, and the scattered weapons, luggage, and chariots...

It seemed that overnight, they no longer belonged to the Lu Family Army.

Glory is gone!

The strong wind swayed the dust and smoke, and the aftermath of stones still fell like rain. The flying sand and the walking stones covered the entire Lu Family Army's former military formation, the once "showing off its might" place with a thin layer.

less than a quarter of an hour...

The offensive and defensive momentum has completely changed!

How dramatic and sad is it that the people who are overwhelmed by the dark clouds are reduced to those who flee in panic?

On the Bushan tower, Shi Yi looked at the scene in front of him, he couldn't help himself.

He couldn't help but took a jug of wine from the soldier and poured it into his mouth suddenly. With the sound of "gudong", "gudong", his mood just calmed down a bit.

Even so...

"Huh, huh-"

The heavy exhalation sound still came out of his mouth.

After pondering for a long time, he finally choked out a sentence, "It's worth it, Ba Niu... This money is really worth grandma's..."

Due to his emotions, Shi Yi didn't care that he was reading "Spring and Autumn", he was a member of Confucianism, how could he swear?
How can I express the throbbing feeling in my heart without swearing?
At this moment, Shi Hui was leaning on the city wall with both hands. He looked at the scene in front of him and said with emotion: "Father is betting on the right treasure. Giving money and food to Mr. Guan Si is comparable to paying tribute to Soochow every year." A hungry dog ​​is much more useful!"

Shi Hui's words were heard by Shi Yi, and he took it very seriously, but couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"Hui'er, tell me... if we beat this group of Lu family troops so hard, even burying their patriarch, will it incur more hatred from them, and then desperately fight us to the end?"

Shi Hui pondered for a while, and he was also thinking about this issue carefully.

After a long time, he seemed to have figured it out, and smiled: "Put yourself in the same place, maybe if I were a member of the Lu family army, I would also have hatred, but...if I don't know, what method is the other party using to get eighth?" Arrows shot from a hundred paces away can collapse mountains, and even how did they lose this battle? They don’t even know how the people died? I think... there will be more fear than hatred... besides..."

When it comes to the last badge, the words come to an abrupt end...

Shi Yi was curious, "What more?"

"I was thinking..." Shi Hui pouted, "I met this Mr. Guan Si in Jiangling City. He is a straightforward person, a helpful person, and a person who upholds justice. Amazing man!"

"Since my father has established this relationship with him for purchasing weapons...after that day, he will have to buy better weapons, and his fear of Soochow will only increase!"

Shi Yi nodded and nodded: "It makes sense, but after hearing what you said, I think... Maybe this is also the result that the fourth son of Guan wants. This is of great benefit to him and us. It kills two birds with one stone and has the best of both worlds! "

"Haha..." Shi Hui said with a smile, "at least you don't have to send peacocks to Jianye anymore. The blue eyes of Soochow are insatiable... Thirty the year before last, three hundred last year, and three thousand this year. It's just the money and food paid to him every year. It is enough to equip hundreds of these eight-ox crossbows..."

"Hehe, you don't have to suffer from this bird spirit! You can still beat him up! Don't mention how comfortable I am, thanks to Mr. Guan Si..."

It wasn't just Shi Hui who said so.

With the turning of the battle situation, every Jiaozhou soldier on the tower is full of energy...

Raise your eyebrows!

This is the elation that belongs to the entire Jiaozhou——

Speaking of this, Shi Hui stretched out his hand to signal that Ba Niu would stop shooting, and he said to Shi: "Uncle, it's time to lead the soldiers to clear the field!"

"Should I forget it?" Shi Yi was still worried, "I'm afraid, the Lu family army will go and come back..."

"No." Shi Hui said with a smile: "Uncle forgot what the boy said just now? Once this kind of unknown fear spreads, how can it be so easy to dissipate? They dare not lend them ten courage!"

...

...

In Jiangling City, drums and music blare the sky, making it lively.

Someone on the street is marrying a bride, it's nothing.

But the person who married the bride this time was very special, and he was one of Jiang Xia's nine thousand captives.

It turned out that these [-] captives were placed in Jiangling City, and they needed someone to take care of them and transport supplies every day for eating, sleeping, and daily life.

Guan Lin also ordered to send people to specially send clothes, bedding, and bread to these captives, and treat the captives properly.

It was nothing at all, but after going back and forth, a young unmarried captive and a woman from Jiangling City who offered to deliver supplies met each other's eyes.

And it spread among the nine thousand captives...

When Mi Yang reported this matter to Guan Lin, Guan Lin thought it was just a joke.

It turns out that love can really arise between the prisoner and the female jailer.

Can…

After thinking about it carefully, Guan Lin suddenly realized that this was a godsend opportunity.

This is a divine assist!
Immediately, he personally went to ask the woman, and after getting the conclusion that it was "true love" and "not to marry unless he was the one", he asked about her family name.

Still a big...

It turned out that the woman's name was Pang Rong, the younger brother of Feng Chu Pang Tong, and now the daughter of Pang Lin, an official of the Shu Han Dynasty.

Her mother, Pang Lin's wife is also a wealthy family...

She is the daughter of the Xi family in the second echelon of the Pang, Ma, Xiang and Xi families under Cai and Kuai in Jingzhou.

Therefore, although this woman's surname is not Xi, but because she has been living with her mother in Jiangxia, she came back not long ago.

Therefore…

The Xi family's nod is indispensable for this marriage!

Guan Lin felt that he couldn't handle it, so he simply asked his father Guan Yu to come out to the woman's house to ask for marriage for the prisoner.

Originally, Guan Yu thought this was outrageous.

Thinking about it later, maybe Yunqi wanted to set a precedent. Once these young unmarried captives married a girl from Jiangling City, wouldn't their hearts be set in Jiangling?

It's logical, isn't it also surrendered?

From this point of view, it is of strategic significance for the granddaughter of the Pang family and the Xi family to marry one of these captives!

So, Guan Yu agreed to the matter, and simply became the matchmaker for Guan Lin.

Next, Guan Yu went out in person, even though Xi Zhen, the elder of the Xi family, was not very satisfied with his son-in-law who was a "captive of Jiangxia".

But... because of Guan Yu's face, because of righteousness... because of the return of the [-] captives, he agreed.

One come and two go, three media and six hires...

Guan Lin prepared everything for the prisoner.

Today happened to be the wedding day, and Guan Lin was the witness in person.

All of a sudden, nine thousand captives came to join in the fun, and they elected hundreds of representatives to flock to the bridegroom officer and swagger through the streets.

Others are arranging banquets.

The cost of the banquet was also paid by Guan Lin, the fourth son of Guan.

These captives never expected...

With their identities, they thought that they would be treated coldly in Jiangling City, but who would have thought that now in Jiangling City, they can eat well, dress well, and even marry a wife...

This is compared to the days when Cao Wei was like a dog fighting here and there every day, being a military household for one day, and being a military household for generations, the endless days...

This is simply heaven!

And Guan Lin's female workers, also under Guan Lin's order, came together to make fun.

They surrounded the green hut where the bride "Pang Rong" was sitting, clapping and singing...

The so-called Qinglu refers to the weddings in the Han Dynasty, where green cloth was often used as a tent, and the bride sat in it, covering her face with a fan, without covering her head.

now…

The bride sat shyly in the green hut, covering her face with a fan, but smiling quietly.

Guan Lin and Zhang Xingcai were wearing casual clothes, booing with everyone for a while...

The whole scene was quite lively.

Not long after, a group of Jiangxia captives pushed the bridegroom official to the green house. The groom had an official face, a ray of sword eyebrows, full of heroism, wearing an official uniform, with a big red flower on his chest, and his face was full of simple joy.

Guan Lin remembered that Mi Yang said that the captive man was Hao Ri, a native of Jiuyuan, with sharp words!

Such a strange name and inscription, it is said that he is the chief of the 9000 captives, commanding thousands of people, with a very high status and great prestige.

Now the bridegroom and the bride are together...

A group of captives made a joke about their "step capital".

"Brother Hao is here, I don't know if it's Brother Hao or a good brother..."

"Good brother, good brother——the bride also called out..."

The new bride Pang Rong, although a lady of every family, has lived alone with her mother in Jiangxia for more than ten years. Call!"

Now Xi Zhen, the elder of the Xi family, is in a hurry, "Girl, cover up quickly."

Pang Rong hastily covered his face with his fan again.

Seeing this scene, everyone roared with laughter, and Guan Lin also laughed...

In fact, Guan Lin knew that this Pang Rong, her mother still left a strong mark in ancient books and documents.

She is the wife of Pang Tong's younger brother Pang Lin, but because after Cao Cao captured Jingzhou, Pang Lin and Xi Zhen fled with Liu Bei...

Pang Rong's mother had no time to take her away, so she stayed in Jiangxia. Since then, she has been separated from her husband and elder brother, guarding the family alone, and raising her young daughter for more than ten years.

If we follow the original trajectory of history...

It wasn't until Liu Bei was defeated in the battle of Yiling that Pang Lin followed Huang Quan and surrendered to Wei State. Only then did this Pang Lin's mother take her daughter and be able to meet her husband again.

Of course, this is not important.

Because the atmosphere is warm and full of joy...

Zhang Xingcai looked at the bride and groom worshiping heaven and earth, and involuntarily rubbed his hand against Guan Lin's, and leaned close to Guan Lin...

Guan Lin thought that Zhang Xingcai was a hint, so he grabbed Zhang Xingcai's hand.

But Zhang Xingcai shook it off, blushing.

"Their marriage is not our marriage? Why are you holding my hand? Hurry... let go..."

As she spoke, she didn't know whether she was shy or angry, but she ran away blushing.

This is just a small episode.

After the banquet, Guan Lin also drank some wine. He is very happy today.

After Zhang Xingcai left, the third sister Guan Yinping came to Guan Lin and asked in a low voice, "Did you bully your sister Xingcai?"

Guan Lin scratched his head, spread his hands, and signaled to Guan Yinping that he was confused.

"Me? Can I bully Sister Xingcai? I can't beat her even with ten of them?"

Guan Yinping let out a "puchi" laugh, and turned her eyes back to the Xitang, "Unexpectedly, you will use such a method to make them surrender... you have..."

Guan Lin said lightly, "This is just a flavoring agent. The real news has to come from the north. I guess it will only take a day or two. Soon, soon..."

Guan Yinping pursed his lips, "Father asked you to leave for Jiangxia several times, and you have been delaying it all the time, you are waiting for this, right?"

Guan Lin nodded slightly...

"I can't hide it from my third sister."

Here, he asked himself, enough has been done with these nine thousand captives, and it is good enough...

This has completely surpassed the boundary of "preferential treatment of captives". Let the old man Guan Yu come out to be a matchmaker. This is a marriage...

Next, it's up to Lao Cao.

Take a look at the gust of wind that will blow over from "Old Cao" sooner or later, whether it is a calm wind or a storm.

——"Old Cao, you should understand widows! 』

Thinking about this...

Guan Lin couldn't help but tucked his chin in his mouth, lost in thought.

On the contrary, over there...

The song that the husband and wife sent to the bridal chamber is "Hao Ri"!
He suddenly ran out from the bridal chamber with a "whoosh", and because of the tight constriction of the dress, he staggered several times in a row and almost fell down.

For a moment, everyone looked at "Hao Ri", and some even asked the new son-in-law's parent, Xi Zhen, "Why is this son-in-law of the Xi family so frizzy?"

"The son-in-law of the Xi family, obviously the son-in-law of the Pang family—" Xi Zhen felt ashamed and turned his head away.

Right in plain sight...

This Hao Ri knelt down in front of Guan Lin with a "slap", and knocked his head to the ground, "The fourth master Guan has been so kind to me, I... I am guilty, I lied to the fourth master Guan!"

"I used a false name because I was worried that my mother would be implicated... My name is not Hao Ri, nor is it named Daokou... My surname is Hao, and the single name is the word Zhao, which is named Bodao. Lie to everyone."

This... no wonder!
Guan Lin was still puzzled, how could someone name it "Hao Ri", how could someone name it "Daokou"...

The combination of "日" and "刀头" is the word "昭".

Of course, the big man ruled the world with filial piety. In order to avoid his mother being implicated, he changed his name to Hao Ri... This is understandable.

It is still a good story if it is not guaranteed to spread!

Can…

and many more!

Just as Guan Lin was thinking about it, he finally realized that something was wrong.

——"Hao Zhao...Hao Zhao?Why is this name... so familiar? 』

——"It seems... When Zhuge Liang left Qishan for the first time, he attacked Chencang, and the Wei general who defended the city was Hao Zhao, right?Then Zhuge Liang's tens of thousands of people and Hao Zhao's more than 1000 people fought a stalemate day and night for several days, but Zhuge Liang didn't attack! 』

--"No way?This...couldn't it be the famous Cao Wei's bone-suppressing general 15 years later, the top defensive master of the Three Kingdoms era, Hao Zhaoben'Zhao', right? 』

Thinking of this, Guan Lin could think of his iron-clad lines.

——Bones can be discarded, and ambitions can survive.

——I would rather die defending the city than humiliate the general.

——I am alone in this city, may I ask who will open it?

Obedient…

Guan Lin murmured in his heart.

——"Is this the opening of the blind box to the gods? 』

Thinking of this, Guan Lin quickly asked, "Are you from Taiyuan?"

"How does the fourth son know? The villain is originally from Taiyuan!"

Following Hao Zhao's words, Guan Lin let out a long breath.

He sighed in his heart:
——"This wave, it's just a waste of money! 』

...

...

Fancheng, in a side room.

Cao Cao is still in bed.

Cheng Yu bowed and said, "Li Miao's dealings in Jiangling City have been found out. It is true that Guan Lin stripped him of his clothes to watch the crowd. It is also true that he publicly bit Guan Lin under the Desheng Bridge with his mouth full of blood. Except In addition, because of this fourth son of Guan, Li Miao took his anger out on Guan Yu and scolded Guan Yu repeatedly in the city, calling him an idiot with no brains, no wonder he gave birth to an uneducated son."

"It can be seen from this that this Li Miao has indeed suffered a lot of grievances in Jiangling, so after arriving in Fancheng, he spared no effort to help the two young masters! No matter what kind of thoughts he has?"

Cao Cao smiled lightly, "Haha, Yun Changao, this Li Miaokuang, if it wasn't for Guan Jiashiro, how could such rough jade belong to me, Cao Wei?"

Said Cao Cao got up, "Change clothes, summon the courtiers."

Cheng Yu said worriedly, "The prime minister just had a headache again, why don't you rest for a while?"

Cao Cao laughed, "Time waits for no one. The battles in Xiangfan and Huainan have been so unfavorable these past few months. If Gu doesn't move, I'm afraid Yun Chang and that Bi Yaner think that Gu is either sick or dead!"

Speaking of this, Cao Cao was about to go out, but before he went out, he paused.

Add another question.

"Zhongde? During this time, how is Zijian's 'widowhood order' being implemented?"

Cheng Yu hurriedly said: "Everything is going well, the states and counties have responded positively, and [-] widows have been recruited. In addition, the states and counties have come to report, and there is an endless stream of people from all over the country to join the army this year, which is more than double the same period last year..."

"Where's the morale of the soldiers?" Cao Cao asked while letting his maid put on his shoes.

"There is one item in the 'Widow Recruitment Order', which is to reward meritorious soldiers with a concubine. Once this order is issued, the morale and fighting spirit of the soldiers are high, and they can't wait to make meritorious service!"

"Hahaha..." Cao Cao laughed loudly when he heard the words, "After saving Shouchun, Li Miao once again contributed to the isolation! With this morale, what is lost here, the orphan will be able to regain it!"

Cao Cao seems to be in a good mood...

But Cheng Yu blinked his eyes, and asked again, "Prime Minister, there is one more thing... among the widows recruited by the local government, there are many 'living wives', including soldiers of my Cao Wei who were captured by the enemy, these' Living Wife'..."

When Cheng Yu led the conversation here, his voice stopped abruptly.

Cao Cao pondered for a moment, "You mean Jiangxia's nine thousand soldiers?"

Then, he said loudly: "Zhongde, you don't know yet, do you?"

"These bastards, they live a much more beautiful life in Jiangling than our Cao Wei. I heard that they can not only eat well and wear warm clothes, but Yunchang also personally matchmaking for them to marry the daughter of a local family!"

At the end of the sentence, Cao Cao's eyes showed a bit of cold and fierce light.

"Hmph, does Zhongde still think they are prisoners?"

"Their wives and daughters were not allotted to official kilns as slaves or prostitutes. It's already an exception—"

While speaking, Cao Cao's chest rose and fell...

His eyes are extremely sharp!
Next, all that could be heard were Cao Cao's heavy steps resounding on the bluestone floor.

Boom, boom!
- dong dong!
