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

Chapter 261 Don't Perish In Silence, Just Explode In Silence

Jiangling City, a station post.

Some servants were decocting medicines from the pharmacy newly obtained by the official medical office, and some maidservants were tidying up the room.

Only Lu Su, he carved a mark on the wooden frame with his sword with a heavy heart, and said quietly.

"Today is October 28!"

Luo Tong, an official of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, glanced at the scratched shelf, put down the bamboo slips in his hand with a heavy heart, and sighed, "There are still ten days left before the bet between the governor and the fourth son of Guan! The nine thousand prisoners, It seems that there is still no intention of surrendering."

Luo Tong came to Jingzhou with Lu Su and Zhuge Jin. In the past, Zhuge Jin was there. The son of Luo Jun, who was once Chen Guoguo's chancellor, always kept a low profile on the sidelines, listening more and talking less. , know it silently.

Now, Zhuge Jin sent a letter to Lu Meng, and asked Luo Tong to take good care of the governor of Lu.

Therefore, now Lu Su is surrounded by Luo Tong's attendants.

At this moment, following Luo Tong's words, Lu Su dropped the wooden sword and walked outside the door. There were birds soaring in the distant clear sky. He looked up at the sky and murmured: "Can Soochow accept Guan Yunqi?" The crucial good son-in-law will be revealed in ten days."

at this time…

An urgent letter arrived, and it was urgently transported by land and water. After Luo Tong received it, he quickly handed it to Lu Su.

Lu Su unfolded it slowly, and it didn't matter if he didn't unfold it. When he unfolded it, he was startled, his legs staggered and he almost fell to the ground.

Luo Tong quickly supported him, "Great governor... what happened?"

Lu Su's chest was ups and downs, and he pondered for a long time before he said: "Jiaozhou...Jiaozhou's Lu family army was defeated..."

what…

Luo Tongtong was stunned, but before he woke up, Lu Su's voice came out again, "General Buzhi is dead, Lu Ji, the head of the Lu family, is also dead, and even Lu Boyan...was captured, but was released again. come out"

This…

Lu Su's words made Luo Tong feel incredible!

How is this possible?
Obviously some time ago, it was just reported that Lu Ji was rescued and Lu Xun could attack.

In the whole of Soochow, all civil and military personnel are eagerly looking forward to a great victory in Yulin County, hoping that Jiaozhou will be pacified before the winter solstice, and morale will be boosted...then join forces and go north to fight the Cao bandits.

But now... this... what's going on?

Why...how did you lose?

Speaking of which, Luo Tong has also experienced strong winds and waves.

When he was five years old, Yuan Shu borrowed food from Chen Guo, but Chen Guo didn't borrow it, so Yuan Shu assassinated Liu Chong, the lord of Chen Guo, and Luo Jun, the father of Luo Tong.

When he was eight years old, Luo Tong's mother was regarded as a concubine by Hua Xin, an important official of Eastern Wu.

When I said goodbye to my mother, my mother was crying, shouting, and following behind the car, but Luo Tong didn't look back. The groom asked him, and Luo Tong said, "I don't want to add more thoughts and sorrows to my mother!"

Since then, Luo Tong has studied literature and martial arts for twelve years. Because of his miserable childhood, he has a benevolent heart.

This point was valued by Lu Su and Zhuge Jin, and he was recommended to Sun Quan, who was trusted and appreciated by Sun Quan. Apart from Lu Xun and Zhuge Ke, he was a rare young talent with a good reputation in Soochow.

It stands to reason that he has experienced so many things, and he should be able to calm down when encountering things.

However, in the Jiaozhou battle, Lu Xun and the Lu family army were defeated...

This weighty hammer still shocked him.

He pondered for a moment, before he opened his mouth: "As the governor of Lu said, it must be a disastrous defeat... But how did you lose? Jiaozhou hasn't fought a war in decades, even if it is the side that defends the city, how can it be experienced in many battles?" The opponent of the Lu Family Army?"

Lu Su's eyes drooped, "On the urgent letter, it only says that the arrow from the sky is [-] paces away? But these words...do you believe it? Do I believe it? Will Marquis Wu believe it?"

His eyes were filled with deep worry.

"Is the governor afraid that Marquis Wu will lose Boyan?" Luo Tong and Lu Xun, both leaders of the younger generation, have a good personal relationship. When he asked this question, he also became worried.

"It's not possible." Lu Su pondered, "My lord may be furious and utter unreasonable words, but he still has Yuan Tan (Gu Yong), Zibu (Zhang Zhao), and Zigang (Zhang Hong) beside him." , with them here, the Lord will calm down even if he is furious, and wait for the truth to come back!"

"the truth?"

"Lu Ziming is in Yulin, he knows the truth best." Speaking of Lu Meng, Lu Su's mood calmed down a lot. I don't think I will make trouble for my own people, not to mention Zhuge Ziyu...he has already brought my letter to see Lu Ziming, so I guess it's time to arrive..."

Having said that, but inexplicably, Lu Su's heart was beating non-stop, as if a deer was bumping around, disturbing him all the time.

"Ugh--"

With a faint sigh, Lu Su withdrew his gaze from looking at Luo Tong, he sighed heavily, and murmured deeply in his heart:

——"Hope... I hope I'm overthinking! 』

——"I hope everything is safe and sound! 』

...

...

Guangxin City, the seat of Cangwu County.

The so-called Cangwu, also known as Erythrina, is a tree with conical thorns between its branches. There are many such trees in Lingnan, so it is the name of the county.

At this moment, the city and county where the Mengjiang River passes through;

This is the city and county where Emperor Shun died during his hunting tour in the south in ancient times.

In a few days, many fast horses roared and galloped.

Behind these fast horses are different forces, and behind these fast horses are hidden conspiracies and tricks, vertical and horizontal games...

Let people be a chess player at one moment, and become a chess piece at the next moment.

At this moment, Lu Meng is playing chess with Zhuge Jin...

Speaking of which, Zhuge Jin was the second "outsider" he met today!
The first one is Lu Yan...

Now that Lu Xun has packed up the remnants of the army, the food and grass have been cut off, and he is temporarily stationed between Cangwu and Yulin counties. He sent his son Lu Yan to send a letter with a very clear attitude, just to explain the truth of the matter.

He, Lu Xun, was defeated, but he never committed any act of disobedience, never committed any act of killing dissidents.

Of course, what is included in this so-called truth.

——There is Bushan City in Yulin County, which shoots a divine arrow from eight hundred steps away, just like a divine arrow from the sky...

——A divine arrow knocked down the wooden tower and the mountain, let the stone steps fall, and drowned the Lu family army.

——There was also the tragic death of Bu Zhi and Lu Ji, the disintegration of the Lu family army, and even Lu Xun who was buried in the stone steps and was captured by Jiaozhou. After being severely tortured, he was released.

And in the face of such a letterhead, such an answer.

Lu Meng just asked indifferently.

Three questions.

The first question - "What kind of crossbow can shoot a powerful divine arrow at a distance of [-] steps?"

The second question—"The stone steps fell, why did it hit Lu Ji and Bu Zhi? You and your father? Why are you all right?"

The third question——"Why did the Jiaozhou scholars let your father go after they punished your father severely? What kind of play is this between your father and Jiaozhou? Excluding dissidents, but screwed up?"

Lu Yan's answer to this can only be that his father, Lu Xun, was also crushed by the stone steps, and he still has no feeling in his left leg.

As for the first and third questions, Lu Yan really couldn't answer them.

At that time, Lu Meng nodded faintly. This letter explaining the truth made him feel more and more that Lu Xun had a ghost in his heart! .

It's so much like a play...

A play that uses the hand of the enemy to eliminate dissidents.

Lu Meng asked the third question, "Facts speak louder than words, and rumors will be ruined by actions. The one-month deadline set by Marquis Wu has not yet come. Is it possible for your father to lead the remnants of the army to capture Yulin County? Shame on you, Also prove your innocence?"

Lu Meng was giving Lu Xun a chance.

However, Lu Yan could only shake his head helplessly. He proposed a concept of "fear".

That's right, before you understand the arrow from the sky that is [-] steps away?The soldiers of the Lu family were panicked, their morale was low, and they had no fighting spirit. Such a soldier?Can you still attack the city?Do you still dare to buy Bushan City in Yulin County?

In addition, Lu Yan also mentioned that his father Lu Xun's leg.

Under such circumstances.

Can the father direct?

Can you rule?

——The general cannot be unified, and the soldiers cannot fight?How to capture Yulin County?How to fulfill the one-month period as promised?
Talking here, the whole topic froze...

If we continued the chat, there seemed to be no progress. Lu Meng only said that he knew, and asked Lu Yan to go down to rest, and wait for him to investigate.

Of course, why didn't Lu Yan know that this was called rest, but it was actually confinement!
Speaking of which, he is not afraid of confinement...

But he was afraid that the Lu family army would run out of food!
Lu Yan immediately asked Lu Meng for food, but Lu Meng's attitude was very firm, and he would not send food until the matter was investigated clearly!

Afterwards, the subordinates informed that Zhuge Jin had come...bringing the letterhead of the Governor of Lu.

Lu Meng didn't dare to be negligent... He ordered his subordinates to "treat Mr. Lu Yan well", and then hurriedly left the military tent.

After that, it was the game between Lu Meng and Zhuge Jin.

As for this game of chess, Zhuge Jin could see that Lu Meng's heart was quite heavy...

So, he took the initiative to suggest that while playing chess, relax and chat about business.

At this moment, the seventeen vertical and horizontal roads are scattered with black and white, and the situation is entangled...

Lu Meng frowned and thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't make a move, and put the chess piece into the dowry restlessly (two beeps of lian). Zhuge Jin seemed to have seen through something, and asked, "It seems that Bo Yan's case is not easy to resolve..."

During the game of chess, the two had already chatted for a while. They talked about Lu Su's words, the things that the big families in Wu County valued, and a Lu Ji, which was indeed enough to make Lu Xun throw a mouse...

Lu Xun was not to blame for the slow attack before.

However, the development of the situation is no longer a matter of "Lu Ji", nor is it a matter of slow marching.

What's more, now it's the Lu family's army that's been defeated, Jiaozhou Yulin is defending it, and it's even Lu Jiliang who... was smashed to pieces, and even Bu Zhi, the supervisor of the army, died.

In other words, the truth now is only his mouth with Lu Xun and Lu Jiajun's. How can we find out?
If the Lu family's army is consistent from top to bottom, how can he, Lu Meng, find out the "truth"?
"I know what the governor means. He wants to keep Lu Boyan, but Bu Zhi's death and Lu Ji's death can't be forgotten. One is from the Lord's clan who favored Ji and his concubine, and the other is from the big clan of Soochow. The influence is too great. ...At this time, if I sue Lu Xun without any evidence, there must be a lot of people responding, and everyone responds... But..."

"But if I intercede for Lu Xun, if there is no direct proof, I will be said to be colluding and collaborating with others... Even I, Lu Meng, will be dragged into the water, and everyone will be betrayed. Under the current situation, I dare not wear this hat indiscriminately. ah!"

"I understand..." Zhuge Jin nodded heavily. How could he not know Lu Meng's embarrassment, "Now the truth is not easy to investigate, and the second is that if the investigation is found out, if it is beneficial to Lu Xun, who will believe it? And those eight The divine arrow from the sky a hundred paces away, and the arrow that smashed the mountain, this kind of storyteller will make up random words... Not to mention that I can't convince others, even I... can't convince myself either! But..."

Zhuge Jin also put the chess pieces in his hand into the dowry, and his voice was lowered, "The governor means that there are not many leaders in the younger generation of Soochow. If you can save one, let's save one, even if Bo Yan has some selfish intentions... I want to get rid of some people, but at least there is no evidence to prove that he is not loyal to Soochow, right?"

"What's more... What Ziming holds is not only the life of Lu Boyan, but also the [-] Lu family army, and even the [-] people who are inextricably linked with the Lu family...their lives! Now, the battle in Huainan is imminent. The great clan of Wu County cannot be chaotic, let alone turbulent!"

Speaking of this, Zhuge Jin's tone became solemn and meticulous, "Ziming also doesn't want to see the scene of bloody looting in the south of Yangzhou when Tai Shici was in Yangzhou back then!"

What Zhuge Jin said was very serious.

Especially when Tai Shici was mentioned, Lu Meng seemed to be somewhat convinced. He said to himself with mixed feelings: "The governor of Lu is still far-sighted. Perhaps, this is God's will! I just want to clear up Lu Boyan. For me, Lu Meng, But it's not easy! If you get caught up in the fire, you will be able to be the governor of Lu Dadu."

Lu Meng seems to have finally compromised.

at this time…

An adjutant broke into the tent here, saw that Lu Meng was going to report, but saw Zhuge Jin, and quickly retracted what he wanted to say.

"Ziyu is not an outsider, but it doesn't matter..." Lu Meng ordered.

"Yes..." the adjutant reported truthfully, "According to reports from the detectives, it is Lu Xun's wife, Sun Ru, who has gone to the northwest. It seems that she is going in the direction of Jingzhou. I don't know whether she is going to Jiangling or Xiangyang!"

This…

Following this urgent report, both Zhuge Jin and Lu Meng's expressions froze.

"Alas..." Lu Meng sighed deeply, and muttered: "I'm afraid that Lu Boyan is a double-faced man who faces Qin Muchu. If so, the governor of Lu Dadu will be a threat to the tiger!"

A sudden "episode" also made Zhuge Jin feel heavy.

He realized that it doesn't matter whether Sun Ru went to Xiangyang or Jiangling.

This all means... It is very likely that the governor of Lu was wrong about Lu Boyan.

For a while, Zhuge Jin's eyebrows were also deeply frowned.

He is shaken!

...

Not long after, Zhuge Jin was led by the officer to rest, Lu Meng also walked out of the military tent, followed by the confidant and adjutant who had reported just now.

Lu Meng understood, "Is there anything else?"

"Yes!" The lieutenant quietly took out a jade pendant from his bosom, and as the jade pendant was revealed, Lu Meng's pupils widened, and he recognized that the jade pendant belonged to his legitimate son Lu Ba.

He asked in surprise: "Where did this jade pendant come from?"

The lieutenant lowered his voice, "Jiaozhou sent an envoy who said that besides this jade pendant, he also brought a letter written by the two sons..."

"He...where is he?" Lu Meng frowned deeply.

He was able to realize the meaning of the Jiaozhou envoy's words, and also realized the weight of these words...

——His two sons of Lu Meng are now in the hands of the Jiaozhou scholar family.

——Life and death are all in the hands of Jiaozhou scholars.

Lu Meng is a filial person. In the eyes of the world, he is a good son, but he is also a loving father.

"The final general has already led the Jiaozhou envoy to the side room."

"Lead the way! Hurry up—" Lu Meng's tone became urgent and nervous, and even his steps became low and heavy!
he realizes...

Perhaps, he is about to make a more difficult choice!

...

...

Jiangling City, in the Guan Mansion.

Zhang Xingcai and Guan Yinping were rubbing ink for Guan Lin, chatting and laughing quietly while rubbing ink, talking about women's topics, the topic of "blood is not wet".

Guan Lin is writing "God of War: The Biography of Zhang Fei".

Because there is no need to think about the plot at all, Guan Lin's pen is like a snake, and he writes very quickly...

Five chapters a day, no problem.

Of course, considering that according to historical records, after Cao Cao withdrew from Hanzhong, there would be a battle in Bashu, the battle of Wakou Pass between the third uncle Zhang Fei and Zhang He!
Considering the final result of this battle, the third uncle Zhang Fei won the battle with "thickness and fineness"...

Therefore…

In fact, Guan Lin doesn't need to pay special attention to the details, as long as the third uncle plays normally and plays normally...

However, there is one thing...

In Guan Lin's view, this battle actually had a chance to capture and even behead the enemy general Zhang He.

Of course, this requires more careful deployment, and the requirements for planning are higher.

It seems that the third uncle Zhang Fei's roughness and finesse are fine, and it is good to be able to do it all at once. It is also difficult for him to perform at a super level.

but...

In this "God of War Zhang Fei Biography", Guan Lin can make a little mention.

As long as Uncle Zhang can memorize a little bit, he can comprehend a little bit.

What if Zhang He is caught?

Without this cunning five-son general, how much trouble can be saved in the future?
Of course, if you catch it, you earn blood, and if you don't catch it, you don't suffer a loss.

When Guan Lin was writing the "novel", suddenly Zhuge Ke ran over in a hurry. "Young Master Yunqi, here we come, here we come..."

——"What's coming? 』

Guan Lin is at a loss...

Zhuge Ke couldn't help but said with joy: "The news of Cao Wei's "Widow Recruitment Order" has spread. The entire Cao Wei area has been recruiting widows, forcibly cutting off their relationship with their families, and giving military households who are not married. Meritorious military households will be given an additional concubine room!"

"Also...there are nine thousand captives, they...they have already received letters from the families of the wives and daughters in the north...it was passed quietly through the merchants, saying yes, saying that Cao Cao perverted, this "Order of Widows" Now, the local government actually... not only recruited widows, but also recruited living wives, and the wives and daughters of these captives were also recruited...Every word in the family letter is extremely sad!"

As Zhuge Ke said...

The "Order of Widowhood Recruitment" promulgated by Cao Cao alleviated the problem of insufficient military households and low morale of the armed forces to a certain extent, and even used the growth of military households to fight against the intensified resistance of those aristocratic families!

From a political point of view, yes.

But... From the perspective of the common people, from the perspective of widows, and from the perspective of living wives, this is tantamount to a nightmare.

Is it...

These women are puppets on strings, so they don't have the opportunity to choose, and they can be given to others at will... Are they reduced to tools for reproduction?
In fact, Guan Lin also hated Cao Wei's "Order to Recruit Widows"...

But I hate it, I hate it!

Guan Lin's position belongs to the Shu Han, and his position determines that he does not need to help Cao Cao avoid this pit.

Besides, regardless of whether there is Guan Lin or Li Miao, Cao Cao will carry out the "Order of Widowhood Recruitment".

——"The east wind is finally here! 』

now…

Guan Lin's eyes narrowed all of a sudden.

At the same time, my heart throbbed.

But Zhang Xingcai and Guan Yinping, upon hearing this... could not help but clenched their fists and angrily reprimanded Cao Cao for his actions.

"This Cao thief is too perverse, right? He...what does he think of a woman?"

"It's not women, it's... those wives... Can't those widows guard their dead beloved men? What's more, there are... living wives!"

Zhang Xingcai and Guan Yinping each said a sentence... the tone was full of resentment towards Cao Cao.

Guan Lin just shook his head lightly.

Again, among Cao Cao's fifteen wives in his life, twelve were widows.

There are not a few "living wives" such as Du Shi, wife of Green Hat Qin Yilu.

He knows widows too well, and how to use widows too well!

This is Cao Wei's strength of character!

Passed on for three generations!
According to Guan Lin...

Just like that, how could Sister Xingcai and Sister Yinping, two big girls with yellow flowers, understand the joy of Cao thief?

"Cough cough..."

With a light cough, Guan Lin asked Zhuge Ke: "Is there any movement from the nine thousand captives..."

"Yes..." Zhuge Ke replied, "It's just that more prisoners didn't believe it because they just received the news..."

"That's okay..." Guan Lin spread his hands, "Wait a little longer, let Cao Wei's "Order of Widowhood" fly for a while longer!"

"I think, soon... the nine thousand captives will be shaken and collapsed, and after the collapse, with infinite hatred, they will point the finger at Cao Cao—"

This time, Guan Lin bet...

These nine thousand captives did not perish in silence, but erupted in silence——
