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

Chapter 288 Duke Wei is 60 years old——

Cangwu County, Guangxin City.

Before noon, Lu Xun walked into a quiet side room of the government office, looked at the bright and clean room, but there was no color on his face.

Shi Xie and Han Xuan had been waiting here a long time ago, and Han Xuan spoke eloquently.

"General, it's come to this point, and Boyan has guessed something, should we tell Boyan the truth?"

Shi Xie nodded slowly, smiled and said with emotion: "Bo Yan's shocking eight-ox crossbow, I only said before that I bought it from 'Huang Laoxie', but Bo Yan must have guessed that 'Huang Laoxie' 'It's Mr. Yunqi!"

--"really! 』

Lu Xun raised his eyes deeply, meeting the gazes of Shi Xie and Han Xuan, "So, Cheng Bing rescued Lu Ji, Ba Niu crossed to kill Lu Ji, and killed Bu Zhi, is this also Mr. Yunqi's plan? "

"No!" Shi Xie waved his hand lightly, "Using Lu Ji to delay the offensive of Boyan and the Lu family army, to buy time for the delivery of the Ba Niu crossbow, this is the truth of Professor Yunqi, but it was an accident that Lu Ji was rescued. Killing Buzhi is even more a coincidence, I prefer to say that this is God's will, it is God who helped Mr. Yunqi, and God helped Boyan escape from the sea of ​​suffering!"

"So..." Lu Xun said emotionally, "Lu Meng's backstab in the back is all within your expectations..."

"That's right..."

"Then this is Sima Yi, the envoy of the State of Wei?" Lu Xun asked again.

This time it was Han Xuan who replied, "Mr. Yunqi also expected that once Bo Yan counterattacked Jiangdong, Cao Cao would definitely look at him. But after all, Jiaozhou is far away from the Central Plains. Cao Cao doesn't have too many eyes in Jiaozhou. There is no information that can be detected. It's also limited, so...with limited information, he will definitely think that you are the one he can win..."

"So that's how it is..." Lu Xun suddenly realized, "No wonder Mr. Yunqi wants me to take the Lu family army to Jiangxia by water... I was suspicious at first. Wouldn't Cao Cao notice it if he went north with such a big fanfare? How could it be a surprise attack? The effect? ​​It turns out that Mr. Yunqi has reached this level..."

"That's right, Cao Cao is so wise. How could he not have imagined that Boyan's purpose of attacking Soochow in the north was to protect the members of the Lu family. Based on this, Boyan would definitely not really attack Soochow in the north. Consider it from this perspective. , Cao Cao can only attract Boyan to Jingzhou, not to mention the current war situation, for Cao Cao, Sun Quan's Hefei is just a disease of scabies, Jingzhou is a serious problem!"

understood!

Now I completely understand!
"Young Master Yunqi wants me to follow suit..." Lu Xun exclaimed.

"So, in order to convince Sima Yi, the envoy of Cao Wei, we must act as realistically as possible." Han Xuan said with emotion. "The [-] Lu family army, in Cao Cao's view, this is the immediate combat power and the key to be able to attack Jingzhou... However, if the [-] Lu family army turns back in front of the battle, then one will ebb and flow, and the reverse will be reversed." It's [-] combat strength, and it will be irreversible for Cao Cao!"

Lu Xun, who had been staring at Shi Xie and Han Xuan intently, suddenly felt his whole body loosen, as if he had lost all strength, but in just a moment, he realized that this was already on the string, and he had to do so, and immediately showed a feeling of emotion. Thousands of smiles.

"It turns out that this game of chess is only half done! For the remaining half, I, Lu Xun, have to keep going."

Shi Xie hid the worry in his eyes, nodded, and said with emotion: "To be honest, I am a little worried about you, and we don't know each other... But going north to Jiangxia, that is the real battlefield, Master Yunqi's strategy I admire it, but after all, I feel that this is not too risky, let Boyan play with fire!"

"Hahahaha..." Lu Xun swept away the haze just now, and after learning the truth, he became more confident. He immediately laughed and said, "The ones playing with fire are Cao Cao and Sima Yi!"

While speaking, he stood up, saluted Shi Xie and Han Xuan respectfully, then turned around and was about to leave.

Han Xuan hurriedly shouted: "Bo Yan, where are you going?"

Lu Xun said with a smile: "Meet that Sima Zhongda, and go to start a new journey for our Lu Family Army—"

Han Xuan went to call again... Lu Xun had gone far.

Actually, Han Xuan wanted to remind.

——"This Sima Yi, is the one whom Mr. Yunqi specially told you to be careful..."

——"However, if it's Boyan, maybe it's really a match for chess! 』

...

...

Jiangxia, Anlu City.

When Guan Lin rushed to the gate of the city with great joy, he only saw Jiang Gan, where is there any "white phosphorus"...

——“Where is phosphorus? 』

——"Did Jiang Gan fire a squib? 』

Guan Lin was about to swear...

Originally full of expectations, he suddenly felt like a dead dog in his heart. Sure enough, the entrustment was not human!

"Mr. Jiang? Are you kidding me?"

Guan Lin frowned and looked at Jiang Gan...

Jiang Gan looked sad, "According to Guan Taishou's instructions, I did dig the flint. I dug it on the first day I went up the mountain, but I never thought about it. I dug it out and put it in a box. Suddenly the flint ignited. All of a sudden, the flames shot up into the sky, that posture is scary...Fortunately, the brothers are far away, otherwise...you will be burned to death by that fire!"

call…

Not to mention, what Jiang Gan said made Guan Lin feel guilty all of a sudden.

too impatient...

He was only thinking about the "Phosphorus Mountain" of the "Great Xiaogan", but he forgot that the ignition point of this white phosphorus is only [-] degrees, and it has a certain probability of burning when it is in contact with the air for a long time...

Thanks to Jiang Gan not getting too close to these brothers, and being upright in Dongdong, otherwise, it would definitely lead to a whole tragedy scene!
"It's... luck among misfortunes, it's good news!"

Guan Lin said with emotion.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Gan raised his head suddenly, his long and narrow eyes gradually widened from narrowing, and he said excitedly: "How does Mr. Yunqi know? There is good news!"

--what!

Guan Lin was stunned.

Jiang Gan explained in detail: "I looked at the large amount of flint burning, and I wondered, the flint of Sifang Mountain is so pure and easy to ignite, how to use it? How to transport it... This flint is so easy to ignite, It’s powerful, but it’s also very difficult to operate, right?”

Before Guan Lin could ask a question, Jiang Gan burst out laughing, "Hahaha, hahaha, why don't you just say that I'm a genius! I just thought of the mutual generation and mutual restraint of all things. Since the air and Gao Reke's flint, how can we simply ...Just use water, sure enough... I didn't expect that this flint does not melt in water, but can be preserved in water, so... I went out early and returned late in this period of time, just to dig a ditch in Sifang Mountain, and then create a pond. Put the flint into a wooden box on the spot, then tie a rope, and quickly sink it into the bottom of the pond... In this way, the problem of flint storage is easily solved."

"Nowadays, a large number of flints are buried at the bottom of the pond. If necessary, they can be pulled up at any time. In addition, I found that as long as water is poured on the flint, as long as the water is there, the flint will not automatically ignite... haha Haha, this time, whether it is mining, storing, or transporting the flint... all the problems, under the wisdom of my Jiang Gan, have all been solved in one go..."

Uh…

Jiang Gan's words stunned Guan Lin.

——"This Jiang Gan?Are you so capable? 』

Thinking of this...

Guan Lin exclaimed subconsciously, "You are my Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Cub of Guan Lin!"

This is Guan Linfeng's third "Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Cub" after Mi Fang and Fu Shiren!
It's no wonder Guan Lin shouted from the bottom of his heart.

In fact, Guan Lin was very worried when he heard that the white phosphorus was ignited, and he was thinking about...what method should be used to store and transport white phosphorus...

Even how to avoid unnecessary casualties in the process of large-scale mining of white phosphorus!

But before he could figure it out, Jiang Gan had already done it well. Not only did he do it well, but also his ability to solve problems when he encountered problems was also beautiful!

Suddenly, Guan Lin felt a little sympathetic to this classmate Jiang Gan who was blackmailed by the later "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" for thousands of years, not to mention that "Jiang Gan Steals Books" was originally fabricated;
Not to mention that Cai Hao and Zhang Yun were not killed by Jiang Gan at all;

Just talking about the ability to mine white phosphorus, encounter problems, and solve problems, Guan Lin thinks that Jiang Gan can use it!
"Before asking Mr. Jiang to dig white phosphorus, it was really overkill." Guan Lin said with emotion.

Before digging out the white phosphorus, I called him Mr. Jiang, and after I dug out the white phosphorus, I called him Mr. Jiang...

"Don't dare..." Jiang Gan was modest, but before he was even a word of modesty, his nature leaked out, and he said with emotion: "Although it is true that some small talents are useful, but the first time Guan Taishou came into contact with Qian, he didn't know What's more, as a surrendered general, it's only natural for him to go through fire and water for his master... I just hope that Guan Taishou won't use a sledgehammer to kill chickens next time!"

The arrogance in Jiang Gan's bones still couldn't be concealed.

Guan Lin nodded, "Jiang Gong can accomplish this, which will impress the younger generation, but... the younger generation still has one important matter. Looking at the whole Jiangxia, only Jiang Gong can do it, so that the younger generation can rest assured! But, this time it is not killing It's a chicken, it's really killing a 'cow'..."

Oh…

Guan Lin's words made Jiang Gan feel relieved for a while, and he said with emotion: "I don't know what is it?"

"Jiang Gong, take a step to speak."

Guan Lin stretched out his hand, making a gesture of invitation, and took out a blueprint from his bosom. This blueprint was exactly the "incendiary bomb" he had drawn after pondering for a long time, and could be manufactured under the current conditions of this era. Ah no, to be precise, it should be a detailed step-by-step diagram of the 'burning tank'.

"Jiang Gong, this blueprint is a 'burning pot'. I need [-] pieces of this kind of 'burning pot' for the upcoming decisive battle in Jiangxia. If Jiang Gong can make it, it will be the battle to defeat Cao. My number one meritorious service in Jingzhou Minister! The entire Jingzhou, no, all the official titles, if Jiang Gong wants to, I will definitely ask my father for Jiang Gong!"

Needless to say, what Guan Lin said went to Jiang Gan's heart.

Jiang Gan is a celebrity, tall and handsome, known for his talent... There is no way to stand alone between the river and the Huaihe River!
From childhood to adulthood, people around him always boasted about him and praised him. When he was young, he was as famous as Mei Zhoulang, and he was proud...

But after joining Cao Ying, he was not reused!

Cao Cao doesn't like this kind of eloquent people. What Cao Cao pays attention to is to promote the virtuous without avoiding virtue. He likes talents who can do practical work and can lead the army and govern the country, but Jiang Gan...

The only one who sent him to persuade Zhou Yu to surrender, and what he said when he came back—"Yu's elegance is beyond words!"

Cao Cao never paid much attention to the process, he only wanted the result, of course...Cao Cao didn't care whether Zhou Yu was generous or not, if you couldn't persuade him to surrender, it was because of your inability.

So Jiang Gan was immediately dispatched to Anlu County in Jiangxia as a small county magistrate.

In recent years, Jiang Gan has been depressed.

When he was young, those around him who talked about him were even better than him, and some compared him with Zhou Yu, Jiang Gan was ashamed to face others!
Therefore, Jiang Gan didn't have much affiliation with Cao Wei at all. He wanted to lie flat, but by chance, he became Guan Yu's general.

And by chance, he served beside Guan Lin, the prefect of Jiangxia...

And was sent to dig "Flint".

Anlu City, as the "eye of the storm" in the battle between Cao and Liu, the Jiangxia battlefield, and even the entire "Jingzhou Huainan" battlefield

Jiang Gan realized that perhaps, as the former magistrate of Anlu County, he had a chance to prove himself...

He, too, has been waiting for an opportunity.

That's why they spared no effort to make the "white phosphorous" matter extremely beautiful!

There is a lot of energy in his heart!

At this moment, what Guan Lin said, whether it is a big cake or true, in short... Jiang Gan realized that the real opportunity has come, and he Jiang Gan finally has the opportunity to stand up!
"Young Master Yunqi called me 'Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Young', so he trusts me so much." Jiang Gan patted his chest, "Then leave the production of this 'burning pot' to me, as long as I, Jiang Gan, are still alive Now, within half a month, these five thousand incendiary bombs will be delivered!"

"Half a month..." Guan Lin pouted, "Time is running out, I'll give Mr. Jiang 1000 people, ten days?"

Actually, the drawing is very simple...

The steps are also very simple...

And the materials are ready, just need some tedious manual work.

Of course, this is theoretical, and a series of problems will definitely be encountered in actual operation, but Jiang Gan seems to be a man who is very good at solving problems.

Sure enough, Jiang Gan pondered for a moment, and he looked at the blueprint carefully again, closed his eyes, and went through all the processes in his mind, and finally said firmly.

"I'll try my best, try—"

"Haha..." Guan Lin said with a smile: "The answer is not domineering. I think of Zhuge Junshi, who faced Zhou Gongjin's task of [-] arrows back then, and he only took three days to complete it!"

"It's different... I looked at the blueprint roughly. Although the steps of the 'burning pot' are simple, they require slow work and careful work, and you can't take advantage of the situation...Every step must be very careful." Jiang Gan said with emotion: " Ten days is already the limit."

Now that we've talked, the matter is settled.

Jiang Gan also rushed to Sifang Mountain again in a hurry. These days, he guessed that he would not be able to return to the city...

On the other hand, Guan Lin, looking at Jiang Ganyao's back, called Shiwu who was standing outside, "Uncle Shiwu, thank you for going to Jiangxia Sergeant to find out. Does Jiang Gan have any family members in the north?" environment? In the Central Plains?"

"Yes!" Shi Wu bowed his hands and went to investigate.

Seeing Jiang Gan leave, Zhang Xingcai, who was standing obediently on the outside, walked quickly to Guan Lin's side, "I just heard the burning pot, what is that?"

"This is..."

Not to mention, what Zhang Xingcai said was really difficult for Guan Lin. He smacked his mouth, thought for a while, and then explained: "If there is something that can kill hundreds of thousands of people overnight, then I think it must be this incendiary pot, but with the current conditions, it is at most only 10% finished from the finished product of the real incendiary pot... However, it is still enough for the forbidden to eat a pot!"

what…

How many 10 people?

Or buried overnight.

For a while, Zhang Xingcai was dumbfounded and stunned!
...

...

At the market in Guangxin City, Cangwu County, Jiaozhou.

Changing back into women's clothes, Zhang Chunhua and Sima Yi already carried a lot of things in their hands, a few fish, a large bag of oranges, and a large string of pearls under their armpits.

A peddler at a medicine stall greeted Sima Yi, "Sir? Doesn't look like a local? He came from the north, right? Come and have a look at our rhino horn and ivory... I heard that these things are more expensive than gold in the north? Sir and madam buy some." Go, you can make a fortune if you don’t keep it all in place!”

Sima Yi turned his head and saw that there were many special products of Jiaozhou on the stalls, which were also rare treasures that were very precious in the north.

Pearls, ivory, rhino horn, hawksbill shell, coral, emerald, as well as various spices and tropical fruits...

He freed his hand, chose a hairpin made of ivory, and inserted it into Zhang Chunhua's bun with a smile. Zhang Chunhua lowered his head shyly, and touched the hairpin happily.

The two continued to move forward, unknowingly they had reached the end of the market, looking at the endless flow of the market, a bit of emotion and sadness suddenly appeared on their faces.

Zhang Chunhua noticed the change in Sima Yi's expression and asked.

"Zhongda? What's wrong with you?"

Sima Yi murmured: "Look, the people in Jiaozhou are so lucky. They live here very happily every day, and they don't have to worry about wars at all, but we are fighting every day in the Central Plains. In fact, I have always wanted to suggest to the prime minister that the great Wei is coming to an end." It's time to raise the soldiers."

Seeing Sima Yi's serious expression, Zhang Chunhua didn't know what to say for a while.

Half an hour later, Sima Yi returned to the inn with many trophies and Zhang Chunhua, but Lu Xun was already waiting outside the inn door.

Sima Yi only felt that the young man in front of him was about the same age as him, but he had an extraordinary bearing, especially his eyes, which cast a warm gaze, but there was a little more sharpness in the gaze.

"I'm Sima Yi, who is your Excellency?"

Sima Yi put all the "trophies" aside, and then bowed to Lu Xun.

Lu Xun greeted him enthusiastically: "Sima Zhongda did not hesitate to come to Jiaozhou for thousands of miles, isn't it just for me and my soldiers?"

what…

Sima Yi was taken aback, and said pleasantly, "General Lu——"

When Lu Xun saw what Sima Yi was holding, he was both amused and surprised, "This...?"

Sima Yi waved his hand in embarrassment, "Ashamed, ashamed, I made General Lu laugh... My wife and I came to Jiaozhou for the first time, and we were dazzled by the dazzling array of goods here... It's like a countryman entering the city."

Lu Xun couldn't help laughing: "Do as the Romans do, do as the Romans do—"

Zhang Chunhua went in with many things.

Sima Yi and Lu Xun sat down as guests and hosts. Lu Xun laughed and said, "The envoy of the Great Wei Dynasty went to Jiaozhou and had to cross hostile lands, but he brought his wife with him? Sure enough, he is swaying nature, and the celebrities are romantic..."

Sima Yi smiled and said: "To be honest, my wife is ten times better than me in martial arts. Ordinary warriors are no match for her. She is here to protect me!"

Lu Xun was taken aback, and the two laughed again.

Lu Xun said: "As soon as Sima's envoy arrived in Jiaozhou, he inspected the people and observed its customs. Can you gain anything?"

Sima Yi said with emotion: "Jiaozhou has been away from the disaster of war for many years, and its wealth is extremely rich. It is far from comparable to that in the Central Plains. If there is any power in the Central Plains that can get Jiaozhou's help, it is an exaggeration to say that it is sending charcoal in a timely manner. At least it will be like a tiger with wings!"

Lu Xun went on to say: "The envoy of Sima won Jiaozhou for Duke Wei. Then I dare to ask, can Duke Wei survive Jingzhou, regain Jianghuai, and open up the road between Jiaozhou and the Central Plains again?"

Sima Yi shook his head and said, "To Duke Wei, the road from Jiaozhou to the Central Plains is just like the Silk Road in the prosperous period of the Han Dynasty. Whether it is Duke Wei or the million soldiers of Great Wei, they are eagerly looking forward to it."

"But if I say it bluntly, Liu Bei has Zhuge Liang, and Sun Quan has Lu Zijing. With these two, under the impregnable Sun-Liu alliance, even if Duke Wei tried his best, he still couldn't gather the troops and horses and grand occasions like the Battle of Chibi...But It is even more difficult for the Sun Liu Alliance to make the Northern Expedition. There are great clan disputes in Jiangdong, and there are factions in Jingzhou and Bashu. What's more, both the people in Jiangdong and Bashu have the heart to live in peace and weariness. They are more than enough to defend the city, but not aggressive enough... With Jingzhou Guan Yunchang's corner, in fact, it won't pose too much threat to Duke Wei!"

Lu Xun was puzzled: "What does the envoy Sima mean?"

Sima Yi said slowly: "Jiaozhou has a good relationship with the great Wei Dynasty. Boyan led his army northward and defeated Guan Yu. My lord bestowed the land of Jingzhou on Boyan. , wouldn’t it be beneficial?”

Lu Xun was surprised: "Duke Wei wants Jingzhou to be granted to me?"

Sima Yi analyzed: "After years of fighting, our country is exhausted. If it weren't for this, how could Liu Bei take advantage of the situation and go to Yizhou in the west, Jingzhou in the east, and Xiangfan battlefield in the east? It can completely turn this balance! Compared with Guan Yu, Wei Gong hopes that General Lu will occupy Jingzhou... Just like Lu Bu's subordinate Zang Ba in the past, he is now living in Langya Kingdom, the kingdom of Wei's kingdom, and has received all kinds of rewards. It has three thousand households, even the generals of the Cao Wei clan can hardly match it!"

Lu Xun said: "Then, how can the envoy of Sima assure me that Duke Wei is not just talking! How can he assure me that after Lu Xun votes for Wei, my soldiers and horses will not be affected, and my status and rank will be able to skyrocket." ?”

Sima Yi was silent, he stood up and paced slowly, Lu Xun didn't rush, just stared at him quietly.

Sima Yi finally stood still, and with an extremely cautious attitude, slowly said word by word: "Duke Wei is already 60 years old..."

Lu Xun smiled: "What does the envoy Sima mean?"

Before Lu Xun could finish his sentence, Sima Yi continued, "Duke Wei's headache has never really healed...it has become more and more severe these years! The situation in the court has also become more and more unpredictable."

"Especially this year, Cao Zhi received the support of the clan and generals, and Cao Pi received the support of the aristocratic family. Mr. Pi lacks a trustworthy soldier! Thirty thousand The Lu family army is still good at water warfare, what Boyan wants to accomplish will be the contribution of the dragon!"

Lu Xun was startled, "Emissary Sima means that you are guaranteeing the future son of Wei?"

Sima Yi didn't intend to explain: "That's all I have to say..."

Lu Xun smiled, "Understood!"
