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

Chapter 257 Four roads advance together, Cao Cao opens up four hunting grounds

Jiaozhou, Yulin County, under Bushan City.

Among the stone pestles.

The voice of "Ah Choe, Ah Choe" came out. It was Lu Xun's son Lu Yan who found Lu Xun. Lu Xun's leg was hit by a stone and he is now unconscious.

Even he himself was in a coma.

"Dad, dad..."

The dust gradually dissipated, Lu Yan brushed away the thick dust on Lu Xun's face, he was shaking Lu Xun desperately, which made Lu Xun have some clear consciousness...

"I... am I still alive?"

"Bo Yan, Boyan—" Sun Ru also rushed over, and together with Lu Yan, she pushed aside the stone pestle and dragged Lu Xun out of the pile of stones as far as possible.

They want to call out more people for help...

But, where are the sergeants around at this moment?
Except for those poor soldiers who were crushed by the stones, one by one screaming for help, there was only dust and blood everywhere.

"help me…"

"Major General, give me a hand too..."

"Please...please, help me..."

Faced with these wailing sentences, Lu Yan was at a loss, but Sun Ru said firmly: "This is a place of right and wrong first, don't worry about other people first, take your father away from here and then talk..."

It's just that Sun Ru wants to leave, but in this situation, is it still possible to leave?
In Bushan City, there had already been an order, and the Jiaozhou soldiers gathered up and down in an instant, each carrying a knife, like a tiger and wolf rushing towards this messy and ruined stone wall.

They didn't encounter any decent resistance at all, and easily attacked here.

Rather than attacking here, it is better to say that they came all the way, and rescued all the way... Every time one is rescued, it is a new prisoner.

Even when some Lu Family Army sergeants saw these Jiaozhou soldiers, they suddenly seemed to have a lot of hope in their eyes, and they kept begging for help... constantly begging.

It seemed that under such circumstances, Jiaozhou soldiers were their only savior.

All of a sudden there were calls for help.

It's just that the faces of the Jiaozhou soldiers were distorted to the extreme, without any mercy, they yelled at the Lu family soldiers, "When you attacked Nanhai County and Cangwu County, if we begged for mercy like this? Would you put down your weapons? ?”

With this sound, the whole place became quiet.

After half a stick of incense, Shi Hui was covered in dust beside a stone gravel, and he stepped onto the gravel with heavy steps.

Here, there are two men and one woman, all wearing military uniforms, and one of them with a broken leg is still wearing a general's armor.

Shi Hui stood still, squinting his eyes slightly, staring at them.

One of the soldiers opened his mouth and reported: "Young Master, among all the remaining prisoners, the three of them wear the most expensive clothes, and it must be the leader of the Lu family army."

leader?

Shi Hui was overjoyed immediately, and from the armor on the man in front of him, it could be seen that this man must have a high status.

It would be a surprise if Lu Xun could be caught alive.

Shi Hui was very excited immediately, and sternly said to the officer beside him, "Bring Lu Xun's portrait."

After fighting for so long, several leaders of the Lu family army, including Lu Xun, Lu Yan, and even Sun Ru, all have portraits.

The officer beside him immediately took out a piece of cloth from his pocket, quickly unfolded it, and a portrait came out.

When Shi Hui saw it, he couldn't help frowning...

Lu Xun in the portrait is an obvious reckless man.

Leopard head, tiger eyes, hooked nose, buck teeth... especially the full beard, and the thick eyebrows, which are thicker than the hair.

And look at the general whose leg was broken in front of him, young, elegant, and handsome, does this clearly look like a Confucian general?
This…

Shi Hui blinked, feeling regretful.

Because Guan Lin reminded him that shooting a man does not necessarily mean shooting a horse first, but capturing a thief must first capture the king.

It is precisely because of this that Shi Hui specially used two crossbow bolts to shoot at the wooden building, never thinking, or ran away from Lu Xun?
Ugh…

Honest sigh.

"Don't look, I'm Lu Xun—" Lu Xun sat on the ground, raised his eyes to look at the emblem, and said calmly, "I lost, and the Lu family army also lost—"

"Father..." Lu Yan quickly looked at Lu Xun...he couldn't understand why his father would reveal his identity.

But Sun Ru seemed to see through what her husband was thinking at a glance.

After such a big defeat, Lu Xun was captured, which was already the best destination.

Otherwise... how would I explain it to Marquis Wu?

And the Bu Zhi sent by Marquis Wu?
Then Lu Ji who was rescued just now?How should I explain?
Whether it's Marquis Wu, or the Lu family...husband can't explain it!

call…

It was Shi Hui, he exhaled in surprise.

He sternly shouted: "Tie them all up and take them back..."

Excited——

Shi Hui inserted the knife back into the scabbard, feeling very excited.

It's like a sheep... After being bullied by a lion for a long time, one day the lion finally pulled out its claws and the sheep stood up!This is the victory of the sheep!

And all of this is thanks to the eight-ox crossbow.

Shi Hui couldn't calm down for a long time.

Who would have thought that with such a huge disparity in combat power, in the end... their underrated Jiaozhou would have the last laugh?

—— "Young Master Guan Si is truly a god! 』

With this in mind, Shi Hui ordered loudly: "Send the good news here to Jiaozhi, and tell father that Lu's army has been defeated, and I have captured Lu Xun alive!"

"Also tell father, the divine power of the eight-ox crossbow! Hurry... Hurry up and report it!"

Shi Hui was impatient, but he didn't know that his father, Shi Xie, was already on his way to Yu Lin.

The scholar is also there... After he talked with Han Xuan Han of Changsha County, he immediately rushed to Jiaozhi with the orders of the Fourth Prince Guan.

As soon as Shi Xie heard that he knew that the relationship was serious, he immediately rushed over with Shi Xie.

While galloping this way, he was still muttering in his heart.

——"Lu Xun, Lu Xun, you must not die..."

——"If you die, how can we explain to Mr. Yunqi! 』

It is rare that the Jiaozhou scholar family faced their "mortal enemy" Lu Xun, and at this moment, they expected him to survive...survive.

...

...

In Fancheng, the ministers were summoned, and Cao Cao wrote something with a pen on the map on the table.

Standing opposite were military adviser Cheng Yu, Shangshu Ling Huaxin, Situ Huaxin, General Xia Houdun, General Zhang Liao of Zhengdong, General Xu Huang of Pingkou, and Zhao Yan who knew the situation in Xiangfan best.

This is the member of Cao Cao's "Overlord Mansion". Only Cao Cao's most trusted and core members can participate in such a council.

Unlike Xia Houdun, Zhang Liao, and Xu Huang who wore armor, Cheng Yu, Hua Xin, Dong Zhao, and Zhao Yan all wore beam crowns, looking mature and dignified, showing a bit of restraint.

While writing, Cao Cao ordered loudly: "Let that Li Miao come to discuss the matter together!"

This... Dong Zhao felt that it was against the rules, and quickly said: "This Li Miao is a native of Shu, known as the Three Dragons of the Li family, and he is actually a madman...He is arrogant, informal, and immoral. The prime minister ordered him to be an admonition Doctor, being an aide of Prince Pi is an exception, how can he participate in the decision-making in the Overlord's Mansion? If he can even enter the Overlord's Mansion, the Prime Minister is a villain who encourages arrogance and eagerness for quick success... This is for Wei..."

Dong Zhao is an old man of Cao Wei. It is not too much to say that he is the founding father. When Cao Cao welcomed the emperor, if Dong Zhao hadn't given the green light all the way, he might have been blocked on the official card.

For more than [-] years, he has successively served as Yin of Henan, Mu of Jizhou, Mu of Xuzhou, and prefect of Wei County... Cao Cao trusted him.

His words carry a lot of weight.

But this time, before Dong Zhao could finish speaking, Cao Cao waved his hand quite boldly. "What is virtue? It is virtue to be able to control the enemy in front of the battle, not to let the soldiers die in vain, and to govern the country to secure the people, and not to make the people suffer from cold and starvation is virtue! What about madness? How about being mad if you can plan strategies and protect the territory of Cao Wei? Being able to go out frequently can make the morale of our three armies high, and there will be endless soldiers, so how crazy is it?"

"On the contrary, it is those hypocrites who sit on the ground and talk big to deceive others. They can only put on airs and pretend to be noble, but they have no benefits for the people of their family and country. My Great Wei does not have so much salary to support them. The tyrants are only used to govern the country, strategize, and calm the troubled times. How is this Li Xiao compared to that Mi Heng? How is it compared to Guo Fengxiao? Why can’t this overbearing mansion accept it?"

This…

For a moment, Dong Zhao was speechless.

Xu Chu has already sent someone to invite Li Miao.

After a while, following Li Miao's entry, Xu Chu led him to the last table.

Li Miao looked around at the people in front of him... He knew that this was the Overlord's Mansion. Guan Lin had mentioned it to him and told him repeatedly that once he entered the Overlord's Mansion, he would be faced with new challenges and crises along with a huge breakthrough. .

Because many of Cao Wei's national policies, once leaked out, the people in Naha's mansion, that small group of people... are the most likely to be suspected.

So, be very careful.

Just because of this thought, Li Miao cheered up.

Cao Cao seemed to have not finished writing on the map, so he waved his hand to Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu got up slowly, took out the imperial edict from his bosom, and opened his mouth to read: "Everyone may wish to appreciate this imperial edict from the Prime Minister..."

Well…

Li Miao thought to himself:

——"After the widow collection order, is there another edict to be issued? 』

Cheng Yu has already said: "If you have a man of practice, you may not be able to make progress; if you are an enterprising man, you may not be able to do it. How can Chen Ping practice it faithfully, and how can Su Qin keep faith and evil? But Chen Ping determined Han industry, Su Qin and Ji Ruoyan. From this we can say , Scholars are short, can mediocrity be discarded? If Siming thinks about this, then scholars will not be left behind, and officials will not be abolished."

This is another "Order to Seek Talents" from Cao Cao, which means that the selection of talents does not require full blame, and those who are virtuous may not necessarily be able to make meritorious deeds;

Li Miao was still in astonishment, he didn't understand why Cao Cao wanted to talk about the matter in the Overlord's House?
at this time.

"Ha ha ha ha--"

Cao Cao laughed loudly, as if he had finished writing what he needed to write on the map in one breath, he looked at it with satisfaction, and then raised his eyes to Li Miao.

"Mr. Li, what do you think of this new order to seek talents?"

This…

Li Miao paused for a moment, and quickly praised: "I have seen the prime minister's previous orders for seeking talents, which are much more magnificent than this one. I think the prime minister is still a little older, and his vigor has lost a bit, but the sincere words in it are more powerful. It will also let the sages in the world see the sincerity of the prime minister in seeking talents, Sun Zhongmou in Jiangdong is short-sighted, Guan Yunchang in Jingzhou is benevolent and righteous, and Liu Xuande in Sichuan is extremely hypocritical. So once the "Order of Seeking Talents" comes out, celebrities in Jingzhou, Bashu, and Dongwu will flock to the prime minister. "

"Hahaha…"

Li Miao's answer made Cao Cao laugh, "A madman is a madman, that is to say, he is lonely and old. They say it is so fresh and refined, like drinking fine wine, making people intoxicated..."

Speaking of this, Cao Cao motioned for the Huben soldiers to unfold the map, and he said loudly.

"What I lost in the past few months, I want to regain it now—"

In an instant, a map quickly unfolded, containing several names.

On the front line of Xiangfan, Cao Cao wrote about Xu Huang.

On the line from Nanyang to Jiangxia, Cao Cao wrote about Yu Jin.

As for Shouchun, Cao Cao wrote down two names, one is Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan...the other is Cao Cao himself.

In addition, in Hanzhong, Cao Cao also marked it out, and it was Zhang Yun who attacked Bazhong!

——Four-way army, four-way advance together.

——Cao Cao wants to open up four battlefields!
This…

Everyone was startled, and Cheng Yu was uncertain: "Prime Minister...isn't this battlefield too..."

A cold smile floated on the corner of Cao Cao's mouth, "Dry water season is supposed to be the day when my Great Wei will attack, how can I be like a shrinking tortoise..."

Cheng Yu understood the implication of these words.

——『The prime minister is worried that if the lost ground cannot be regained during the dry season, the four battlefields during the flood season will be in danger! 』

Cheng Yu just thought of this.

Cao Cao waved his hand: "Where is Xu Gongming?"

"The end is here." Xu Huang cupped his hands.

"Gu gave you a thousand soldiers last time, and this time I will give you another [-] soldiers from Yongliang. Gu wants you to attack Nanjun? Keep that Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang in check? How dare you take orders!"

"Why don't you dare?" Xu Huang immediately cupped his hands.

"Haha..." Cao Cao walked in front of Xu Huang, "Gongming, you and Guan Yunchang are fellow villagers. You are the only one who knows him best, except Wenyuan. I don't ask you to win. You just need to hold him, Guan Yunchang. Gaining time for my Great Wei to capture Jiangxia, I will count it as a great contribution to you!"

This…

The meaning of Cao Cao's words is obvious. What he wants to retake is the north of Jiangxia. Cao Cao cannot allow Nanyang, the economic center, to expose its heavy grain production to the enemy's weapons.

As for Xu Huang's attack on Jiangling... it was a strategic delay.

"The last general takes orders!" Xu Huang cupped his hands...

Cao Cao continued to order: "On the line from Nanyang to Jiangxia, General Yu Ban must retake the lost land before the dry season ends, and the north of Jiangxia must be fully recovered! Nanyang must not be lost!"

"As for Hanzhong going south, people say Bashu, Bashu, how can there be no Bazhong? Gu sent people to increase troops in Miaocai yesterday. Miaocai was stationed in Hanzhong, and Zhang He went to attack Bazhong... His grandson and Liu alliance ate me up." Wei’s, is it just to spit it out?”

Having said that, Cao Cao looked at Zhang Liao again.

"A few months ago, I heard about the feats of General Wenyuan in Hanzhong alone. Eight hundred thousand broke one hundred thousand, the tiger roared and the dragon sang thousands of miles, and Jiang Dong's blue eyes Youmeng was frightened. Your one hundred thousand soldiers, the lost Hefei, you have to take it back—"

Although there are no people in Huainan, Huainan is the most important strategic buffer zone. Cao Cao cannot abandon Huainan, just as he cannot abandon the north of Jiangxia.

These are all existences that affect the whole body.

The overlord's council was over, but Cao Cao's voice resounded like a tiger roaring and a dragon's chant resounding freely and deafeningly.

A group of civil and military men came out, Li Miao fell behind in thought.

Cheng Yu seemed to be waiting for Li Miao deliberately, but not so deliberately, the two walked a short distance apart, seemingly ignoring each other, but talking in a low voice.

"Congratulations, Mr. Li...You can enter the Overlord's Mansion when you first entered the Great Wei Dynasty, which shows how much the Prime Minister values ​​and trusts you!"

Cheng Yu seemed to hesitate to speak.

"Ah..." Li Miao was startled at first, he raised his eyes and found that Cheng Yu didn't turn his head to look back, he immediately understood and said as he walked, "Mr. Cheng made fun of you. Although I am arrogant, I am self-aware. Knowing that I can enter the Overlord's Mansion, is it because of my own ability? It's all due to the Prime Minister relying on the important son, Mr. Huan!"

Ha ha…

Cheng Yu laughed. Although he knew it was a lie, he could realize how transparent the guy behind him was?
Cheng Yu smiled and said: "Speaking of which, Mr. Li's "Decree for Recruiting Widows" dedicated to Mr. Zijian has been carried out very vividly..."

Uh…

Li Miao was taken aback by these words, and his footsteps stopped.

Cheng Yu's footsteps also stopped tacitly, and the two still kept a short distance.

"Mr. Li, don't be afraid..." Cheng Yu pondered in a low voice, "It was the Prime Minister who asked me to bring a message to Mr. Li."

Cheng Yu paused for a moment before continuing to open his mouth, "Because of a box of crisps in the past, the prime minister handed Mr. Zijian into Yang Dezu's hands, and asked Yang Dezu to assist him well. But after all these years, Yang Dezu has finally disappointed the prime minister!"

"Mr. Cheng means..." Li Miao's tone stumbled.

"Prime Minister asked me to bring a message to Mr. Li." Cheng Yu turned around and said to Li Miao in a tone as if Cao Cao was there in person, "Help your lonely son well, otherwise, you must be worse than that Yang Dezu!"

this moment…

Li Miao was stunned, he froze in place.

However, Cheng Yu's words completely confirmed Guan Lin's conjecture...

——"Sure enough, in the position of son, Cao Cao is more partial to son Zijian. 』

——"He needs the future Lord of Great Wei to have a benevolent, filial and loving heart to erase the scars Cao Cao brought to the people of this world!" 』

——"That's it...Guan Sigong is... completely accurate, and he can hold Cao Cao! 』

...

...

Jiangling City, the main hall of Guanfu.

"It's unreasonable, it's unreasonable—" Xi Zhen's angry shout was heard from afar.

Jingzhou's second-level families—Pang, Ma, Xiang, and Xi.

Although the Xi family that Xi Zhen belongs to is a low-ranking family, it is also a clan. It is a famous family in Jingzhou. All famous families value face the most. How can they... endure Hao Zhao's behavior of lying about their names when worshiping heaven and earth.

Therefore…

The wedding was held, heaven and earth had paid homage, and the bridal chamber was left, but Xi Zhen quit, and he had to wait for Pang Lin from the middle of Shu to come here to make a statement. This is his own daughter... let him decide.

The Xi family can no longer be the master, wait for the Pang family to come.

"Second General, judge and judge. How can marriage be a joke? How can you tell us that this... this name is fake? Yesterday he said his name was Hao Ri, and today he said his name is Hao Zhao? Tomorrow Can it be said that his name is Hao Dao, Haokou? Second General... tell me? This... a man who is full of lies, can we marry this girl?"

This... Guan Yu was in a dilemma for a while.

He looked at Hao Zhao who was kneeling in front of the door, in fact there was more than one Hao Zhao kneeling in front of the door, there were no less than hundreds of people kneeling outside the Guanfu mansion, they were all Jiang Xia's captives.

This can also explain from the side... This Hao Zhao is quite popular!
Frankly speaking...

This kind of thing... must be Hao Zhao's fault, but Guan Yu thought about Guan Lin's idea of ​​taking these captives, and it was not easy to let go of it for a while.

Ma Liang was also in the house, he "baji" his mouth, and suggested: "This world is worshiped, or else, it's better...to enter the bridal chamber? Otherwise..."

Ma Liang's words... To Xi Zhen's ears, it seems to be...

Ma Liang is threatening - if you don't enter the bridal chamber, this half girl of your Xi family will not be able to get married in the future!
Just hearing this, Xi Zhen became angry, "Isn't it your Ma family's daughter? Of course you don't feel bad..."

Originally, the Xi family was dissatisfied with Hao Zhao's identity. It was Guan Yu who came to ask for a marriage, and the overall situation was the top priority... so he reluctantly agreed.

Just came across this...

Xi Zhen naturally insisted that this marriage cannot be counted!

"Woooo-"

There was a faint cry of a woman in the back hall. It was Pang Rong... Knowing the truth and the current situation, she could only cry in the back hall, and was confused for a while.

"Wen Xiang (Xi Zhen), you are the prefect of Guanghan, why are you so impatient?" Guan Yu finally opened his mouth, he said something to Xi Zhen, and immediately looked at Guan Lin, his meaning could not be more clear.

——"You figured this out, go ahead! 』

"Ahem..." Guan Lin thought about it carefully, of course, that's not what he was thinking about.

But excited!

...Such a defender at the "Peak King" level was caught by him with a blind box. This feeling... has endless aftertaste.

"Yunqi..." It was Guan Yinping who poked him quietly, and Guan Lin just woke up from his joy.

Seeing Xi Zhen, the patriarch of the Xi family, who was out of breath in front of him;
Listening to the weeping of girl Pang Rong in the back hall;

Looking outside the door, Hao Zhao was kneeling on the ground with his head bowed, with an apologetic expression on his face.

Guan Lin couldn't help muttering in his heart:

——"Xi Zhen, Xi Zhen, did you find a treasure?do you know!If the lintel of your Xi family is prosperous, more than half of the credit will go to this new uncle! 』

——"Seeing that you still look disgusted, aren't you happy?If I had known that he was Hao Zhao, how could it be your niece's turn, I would have directly matched it with my third sister! 』

It is no exaggeration to say...

Guan Lin would really do that.

This brother is too tiger, he can be called the number one defender of the Three Kingdoms!

You know, in history, there are also those who can withstand the offensive of the Shu army under the command of Zhuge Liang;

But there is no other person except for "Hao Zhao" who can resist Zhuge Liang's tens of thousands of people with more than 1000 people and delay the arrival of reinforcements.

Even, if you want to make a ranking list of offense and defense.

In terms of attack power, it is agreed that there are one Lu, two Zhao, three Dianwei, four passes, five horses, six Zhang Fei, seven promises, eight summers, and nine Jiang Wei.

So in terms of defensive power, the ability to defend the city is nothing more than those few.

Soochow - Xu Sheng, Zhu Ran;
Bashu - Luo Xian, Wang Ping, Huo Jun;
Cao Wei's - Man Chong, Wen Pin, Hao Zhao, Cao Ren!
Other than that, no...

However, if you want to choose one of the toughest defenders from these nine defenders.

That must be the "Zhengu·Hao Zhao" who "sticks to Chencang"!
It is not an exaggeration to say that if he is here, if he is given thousands of people to guard Jiangxia, Guan Lin simply has four words in his heart - a stable group!
Thinking about this...

"Cough cough..."

With a light cough, Guan Lin stood up suddenly, straightened his chest, and he was about to start a new round of performance.

...
