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

Chapter 260 Isn't this Lu Boyan not even acting anymore?

Dead branches and leaves, fallen leaves everywhere, desolate everywhere.

Lu Xun endured the pain in his body and wrote something beside the bed.

While writing, Lu Xun said in a hundred turns: "Finally, such a day has come. The rise and fall of me, Lu Xun, and the Lu family depend on your writing!"

Son Lu Yan poked his head over while blowing on the medicinal soup: "Who is the father writing to?"

Lu Xun pointed to the five words on the far right side of the letter—General Lu himself.

He opened his mouth and said, "To General Lu Menglu..."

"Can he save father?"

"Only he can save the Lu family!"

"But will he save?"

At this time, Lu Xun sighed: "Lu Meng, Lu Ziming, was ridiculed for being 'Wu Xia Amen' in the past. Since then, he has read military books at night, and now he talks about the art of war with eloquence. His filial piety to his mother is known throughout the country... Even Lu Zijing and Gan Xingba worship their mother..."

"Besides, he is generous and magnanimous. He ties up with colleagues and helps Xu Gu and others raise orphans. He also ignores the personal grievances with Cai Yi and Gan Ning. Instead, he speaks well for the Lord before the Lord... Such a character , should not tell the truth, and will tell Wuhou everything here truthfully, and Chen Ming's divine arrow will give us a way to survive, right?"

At this time, a guard broke in, "General Lu, ma'am... ma'am... she's missing."

Hearing such words, Lu Xun felt very calm instead, and he sighed: "Madam still can't trust Marquis Wu..."

"Where did mother go?" Lu Yan asked.

"It's not the first time she mentioned that she wants to vote for Jingzhou. She mentioned it to me again last night, and even suggested that she want to make a stop, but I rejected it." Lu Xun's eyes were full of have no choice.

"Why not?" Lu Yan couldn't understand.

"Because...because, cough, cough, cough..." After a violent cough, Lu Xun opened his mouth lightly: "Once, once you really vote for Jingzhou, then the Lu family will be a 'Liu Yu' family, and they will live under the fence without roots... "

Lu Yan gritted his teeth. It was rare that he was willing to support the stepmother this time.

"Better rootless than dead, right?"

After a while, another guard broke in and said eagerly: "General Lu, madam... madam is heading northwest to Changsha."

"It's not in the direction of Changsha, it's Jiangling..." Lu Xun's expression was gloomy, and he was still not surprised at all. He slowly put away the bamboo slips, "Yan'er, go in person and deliver this letter to General Lu Ziming..."

"Father...I..." Lu Yan hesitated to speak.

The implication was that he was obviously worried, and he said anxiously: "What if I am taken hostage by Lu Meng?"

Lu Xun was still scrolling the painting silently, looking at the five big characters "General Lu's personal letter" on the letter paper eagerly and sadly.

Who would have thought that Lu Xun has been humble and cautious for more than ten years, and every step he takes is walking on thin ice.

but at the end...

The lives of him and the Lu family are in the hands of others.

sad…

How sad?

At this time, a notification suddenly came from outside the door.

"General Lu, there is a man from Changsha outside the door, claiming to be Han Xuan, the former governor of Changsha, please see the general..."

The voice just came out.

Lu Xun seemed to get excited all of a sudden.

"not see--"

He screamed hard.

"Let him go, let him go, no, grab him... lock him up!"

It seems to be worried that Lu Meng and Sun Quan will be misunderstood even more.

Lu Xun's mood was extremely tense, and his cheeks were full of sorrow.

Even God seemed to feel the sadness in Lu Xun's heart.

The strong wind swept the dark clouds, and in the depths of the dark clouds, there was a wild goose...

Goose——you can have a snack!
...

...

Even though it was already night, Guan Lin, Hao Zhao, and later Mi Fang were all extremely energetic.

A blueprint of Jiangling City's new city was laid out on the stone steps above the gate tower.

The soldiers around lit the torches.

Facing the blueprint, Hao Zhao was talking eloquently, "The purpose of building a new city is for the enemy to attack Jiangling twice, which is twice as difficult. Difficulty, you only need to add another city wall outside the old and new cities. In this way, the old and new cities, the old and new walls... It doesn’t matter if the outer wall is broken by the enemy’s attack, the whole army can retreat into the inner wall before proceeding. If the inner wall is broken, they will retreat into the new city. When the enemy attacks the new city, they will encounter the inner and outer walls, which is equivalent to four times for a city.”

Hao Zhao's explanation is getting better and better.

He drew a circle around the design of the new city, pointed to the gap between the inner and outer city walls, and continued to talk, "I have been in the army for several years, and I have learned many skills of defending the city from General Wenpin. What is most lacking in defending the city is not troops, but military supplies, but supplies... Often in real city defense battles, more than half of the troops have to transport arrows, stones! Weapons!"

"As long as these troops have enough supplies, the enemy can shoot with enough fire arrows if they set up a ladder, and the ladder will burn, and the enemy will naturally be unable to climb up; and the enemy's attacking the city with chariots does not require huge stones, as long as the defenders have prepared in advance." The big rope' and the 'stone mill', use the big rope to tie the 'stone mill' and smash it down, no matter how hard the car is, it will all be broken!"

"So... the supply of ordnance is the most important thing, and the arsenal in the city is too far away from the tower. In the face of the enemy's surprise attack, I was temporarily mobilized... There is no time, so a lot of soldiers and horses were wasted. The design of two cities, two walls inside and outside, can also build an arsenal in the middle, hoarding the ordnance needed to defend the city..."

Speaking of this, Hao Zhao paused for a moment, and continued to talk eloquently, "If the enemy army uses the well fence hundreds of feet as a cover, and then fills up the trenches to protect the city, then it is not afraid, because the well fence broke the outer wall, but it will be destroyed. Can’t get into the outer wall, let alone attack the inner wall, this second line of defense is far stronger than the first line of defense.”

"In addition, deep ditches can also be dug in the inner and outer parts of the city to cut off the enemy's "digger army" tunnel attack and make it leak... Calculated in this way, it is actually four times as difficult to attack the city. Conservatively, to capture a city requires four sieges, and the difficulty will become six or eight times the original! Between the inner and outer walls, you can also add a complex road according to the design of the old and new cities, which is convenient for ordinary times. Passage, re-entry blockade during wartime..."

After saying this, Hao Zhaofang turned his head to look at Guan Lin and Mi Fang.

Guan Lin let out a long breath, feeling inexplicably more at ease in his heart.

It is worthy of being the leading city defender. In history, the design of Guan Yu's new and old cities has been "unprecedented", but Hao Zhao added two walls inside and outside on this basis.

Two cities, old and new, two walls inside and outside;
Quadruple... No, it's not quadruple at all. This is an incremental method. Siege will be eight times more difficult, and defending the city will be eight times more enjoyable!

Guan Lin couldn't help feeling in his heart:
——"Hao Zhao, Hao Zhao, you made me have to admit that many things require talent, and there are geniuses in many fields!" 』

With this in mind, Guan Lin looked at Mi Fang.

"Second brother? What do you think?"

Mi Fang scratched her head and made an expression of "I don't understand, but I'm shocked", he pouted and said with emotion: "Okay, yes, but...it's equivalent to building two new buildings on the basis of the original one. The outer wall, the price is high."

"Money is not a problem." Guan Lin smiled.

Mi Fang didn't know that Guan Lin had found a cornucopia, and now that he was poor, he only had money left.

Actually, Guan Lin was thinking about it.

——"When Hao Zhao was guarding Chencang, shouldn't Chencang City have such a structure?The two walls inside and outside... Interesting! 』

——"Is this the reason why 1000 people stopped Zhuge Liang's 20 soldiers for more than [-] days? 』

Just as Guan Lin guessed...

Indeed, the Chencang City built by Hao Zhao 12 years later has two walls, the inner and outer walls, which is equivalent to directly breaking Zhuge Liang's most threatening siege—the Jinglan offensive.

In addition, between the inner and outer walls, a large amount of ordnance and military supplies are stored, which saves the time for soldiers to move and use supplies.

It seems that 1000 people are more effective than 1 people.

The car was smashed by the 'stone mill' tied by a big rope;
The ladder is burned by the arrows of fire;
No matter how many people there are, Zhuge Liang's means of siege have all been cracked, and the advantage of numbers can't be used at all, it's useless!

"Second brother, let's modify the drawings according to what Bodao said. The inner and outer walls he mentioned are really interesting. As for the money issue, leave it to me to solve..."

Guan Lin waved his hand quite generously.

Mi Fang's eyes must be fixed, "This is not good, the new city also has a share of the second brother, I have to take some out, not to mention the reinforcement of the new city, to guard against that stinky and shameless Jiangdong Biyaner, now I feel sick when I mention him anger."

While speaking, Mi Fang was already on fire.

Guan Lin looked at Mi Fang and nodded with satisfaction, "Success, just follow the second brother..."

Speaking of this, Guan Lin turned around and told Hao Zhao, "The construction of Jiangling and the new city of Changsha, and the reinforcement of the old city will be left to you. The prefect of Jiangling is my second brother and will fully support you. Changsha , I will send a letter to the prefect of Changsha, you are my man, if someone disobeys your order, you tell me, I will cut him for you!"

Very simple words.

Hao Zhao couldn't help but pursed his lips. How could he have imagined that he became a prisoner and came to this Jiangling. He thought he had fallen into hell and was bullied by others, but...but who would have thought that this Jiangling is not hell, but It's heaven!
Wife, recognition, entrustment...

What he dreamed of, what he didn't get in Cao Wei, has everything here.

only…

While being moved, Hao Zhao suddenly thought of another thing, and couldn't help showing a little sentimentality on his cheeks.

"What?" Mi Fang saw it, and quickly asked: "My third brother thinks highly of you, why do you still look so sad? What's wrong?"

Hao Zhao stretched out his sleeve and wiped away the tears, "No...it's nothing!"

"Did you miss your old lady in Taiyuan?" Guan Lin seemed to see through Hao Zhao's thoughts.

This…

Hao Zhao quickly raised his head, "Mr...Mr...."

"Don't worry." Guan Lin patted him on the shoulder, "Your mother, I have already sent someone to pick it up. It is safe now, and the old man is also very strong. Of course... Nandu needs to find opportunities. There is no rush, but I guess one Yue will definitely come back, by the way, I just sent someone to deliver the letter written by your mother to your room, don't worry!"

indeed…

As early as the day Hao Zhao got married, Guan Lin went to look for Lingju, and asked her... if "Parrot" could bring Hao's mother from Taiyuan over.

The answer is yes.

If it is a large-scale Nandu, it may not be easy, but a small-scale... is not a big problem.

Immediately, Lingju sent a letter to the north, and now a few days have passed...

The news came back a long time ago, and everything went well.

Following Guan Lin's words, Hao Zhao was about to kneel...but Guan Lin grabbed him first.

——"Knowing that you are going to kneel... how can such a good city defender love to kneel so much! 』

"Cough cough..." Guan Lin coughed softly, "Don't kneel down, and you don't have to thank me, you have time now... Go back and look at the letterhead, and tell your wife the good news!"

This…

Hao Zhao is still young, and he can't hide things in his heart. When he was moved... tears filled his eyes.

Then he bowed deeply and wanted to say something, but couldn't make a sound and ran away quickly.

Looking at the sound of his walking, looking at the extremely long shadow drawn by the light of the torch...

Mi Fang pursed her lips and said with emotion: "Third brother, why am I a little bit confused about this kid? When I talked about the design of the fortification just now, I was able to talk eloquently and logically? How could I mention this old lady?" Can't cry anymore? This kid, can he do it?"

"Haha..." Guan Lin patted Mi Fang's shoulder heavily with his hand, "This is the most sincere and filial person. We can feel more at ease with such a person. Of course, when it comes to building a city, no one is better than him." It's alright, second brother, I can hand over my treasure to you, you are not allowed to bully him..."

"What are you talking about? Is the second brother like this?" Mi Fang laughed loudly: "Besides, the eyes of the third brother... I can't believe it. I'm afraid that Xun Yu, who has been dead for three years on Cao Wei's side, is reborn. But that's it! But..."

At the end of the conversation, Mi Fang hesitated to speak...

"What?" Guan Lin was curious now.

Mi Fang frowned, "It's been more than ten days since your bet with Lu Su and Lu Zijing of Eastern Wu, Hao Zhao surrendered, but the more than 9000 captives... They didn't surrender... Could it be that you returned everyone? Are you going to send them a daughter-in-law? If so, the men in Jiangling City may all rebel..."

"Not at all." Guan Lin smiled. He opened his mouth, but swallowed the words. He walked to the outermost city wall and stood here...Slightly closed his eyes, feeling the breeze.

"Why not? Third brother, what are you hiding from second brother?" Mi Fang became curious.

"Hush..." Guan Lin pointed out an index finger, signaling to be quieter.

"how?"

"Second brother, didn't you feel it?" Guan Lin narrowed his eyes and asked.

"What do you feel?"

"The wind is blowing!" Guan Lin said lightly.

"There's no wind!" Mi Fang was confused.

"The ear can only hear the sound of the wind within three miles, you have to use your heart to feel the sound of the wind three hundred miles away!"

"What kind of wind is that?" Mi Fang scratched her head... with a look that You Zi couldn't understand.

"Dongfeng!" Guan Lin replied with a smile.

Mi Fang then asked: "Is it the east wind borrowed by Kong Ming?"

Guan Lin said with emotion: "This time the wind came from the north and the east, but it was stronger than the wind that came from the Seven Stars Terrace!"

There were 1 question marks in Mi Fang's mind, and all the question marks gathered into one sentence, that's it.

——"Can you avoid detours?Can you speak human language? 』

Of course, he only dared to think about this in his heart.

Facing Guan Lin, he didn't dare to say anything, and he didn't dare to ask!

...

...

The palace of Jianye City in Eastern Wu Dynasty.

Because of Bu Zhi's death, Bu Lianshi, Big Tiger Sun Lu Ban, and Little Tiger Sun Lu Yu were all weeping in the palace.

Gu Yong, the patriarch of the Gu family, the head of the four major families in Wu County, is also here...

As the Zuo Sima of Sun Quan's shogunate, the 47-year-old had an ugly complexion, but he tried his best to restrain his grief.

He is not grieving because of the death of "Bu Zhi", his wife is Lu Kang's daughter and Lu Ji's elder sister, now hearing Lu Ji's sad news, he, Gu Yong, also feels the same way.

The most annoyed one here is Sun Quan, he slammed the table, sparks flashed in his emerald green eyes, he said angrily, "Is this Lu Boyan not even acting?"

He stood up suddenly, his chest was heaving, and his purple beard was calm and automatic, "How can such a coincidence happen? Lu Ji was captured? He, Lu Boyan, was afraid of attacking the mouse and did not attack for a long time! Hmph, this Lu Ji was rescued just now, when he was attacking the city... Just being stoned to death? The superintendent sent by Gu was also crushed to death! Is he, Lu Boyan, going to die without proof? Or is Lu Boyan trying to bully Gu...is the bully a three-year-old child?"

Too fake…

Just like the reason for Sun Quan's anger, the whole incident was too fake.

How can it be such a coincidence?When the siege was approaching, the supervising army died suddenly, and so did the rescued hostages. The commander was seriously injured by a stone and was captured by Jiaozhou. But after less than a day, he... was released again?

Ha ha!

Sun Quan was in awe of the whole incident, he was horrified by Lu Xun's clumsy acting skills, or could it be said that Lu Boyan was so presumptuous that he didn't even act?
"Woooo-"

The weeping of Bu Lianshi and Dahu Xiaohu continued, Bu Lianshi hugged the two daughters, she didn't dare to complain to Marquis Wu.

But the rain-like weeping of the pear blossoms made people feel even more distressed.

"My lord, calm down..."

Gu Yong, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.

The patriarch of the Gu family was regarded as a "master" by Sun Quan. He was always hiding behind the scenes.

In many cases, Sun Quan admired his composure.

Even, last year... after his eldest son Gu Shao passed away as the prefect of Yuzhang, Gu Yong was hosting a banquet at that time. When he heard the bad news, his expression remained unchanged. Sitting on the mat, the complexion didn't change until the end of the banquet.

Someone asked him why, and he lamented: "I am no longer as noble as Yanling Jizi. Do I still have to cry and go blind for my son's death, and then be blamed?"

So he let go of his mind, dispelled the grief, and looked calm.

As Cai Yong's disciple in the past, his state of mind is the most peaceful one in Soochow, and also the calmest one.

Sun Quan looked at Gu Yong with grief and indignation: "Does Mr. Gu have anything to say?"

"Yes..." Gu Yong said succinctly: "After careful consideration, it can be done correctly... For now, it seems that the lord only learned the truth from the few words in the urgent mail. As for what happened in Jiaozhou, it is impossible to draw a quick conclusion. Think about it, and wait until the situation is clear before making any calculations!"

Sun Quan heard Gu Yong's meaning, and he raised his eyebrows: "What Gu Lao means is, ask Gu to wait?"

"Isn't Lu Ziming still in Yulin?" Gu Yong said lightly, "How did General Bu Zhi die? How did Patriarch Lu Ji die? Why was the Lu family army defeated? Why was Lu Xun captured? All of these... will have the truth, And this truth can only be grasped by Lu Ziming...My lord still has to wait..."

"I understand." Gu Yong's words successfully extinguished Sun Quan's anger.

Huh...huh——

Sun Quan panted for a long time, and said with emotion: "If it weren't for Gu Lao, I would have been preconceived. Forget it, don't rush to send this Lu Boyan, and wait for Lu Ziming's letter!"

"A gain or a loss is a matter of a moment, only careful consideration will give insight." Gu Yong cupped his hands, "My lord, you have learned a lesson!"

While speaking, Sun Quan stepped to the side of the palace, and Gu Yong followed him.

What Sun Quan was thinking, Gu Yong could roughly guess.

Nothing more than a hundred ways to die for Lu Xun and the Lu family!

——"Now, Lu Boyan...and the life and death of the Lu family are all in the hands of Lu Meng! 』

——"This former Wu Xia Ameng is now a talented general in three days. Lu Meng and Lu Ziming should be able to clearly judge right from wrong, right? 』
