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

Chapter 293 Cao Cao's Ancestral Temple 26 Civil and military, the advantage is mine
On the mountain road leading to Hengshan Daying.

Tens of thousands of troops are galloping...

Guan Ping and Zhu Ling walked side by side, they were in the front position, and Guan Ping seemed to cherish this opportunity to ask advice from a famous general other than his father. Along the way, he and Zhu Ling chatted about something.

Because most of them were infantry, Guan Ping and Zhu Ling rode horses, so they didn't need to speed up their pace deliberately, and the atmosphere of chatting was not rushed, neither fast nor slow.

"General Ping just said that your wish is to be Guan Gong's vanguard general, so let me ask you? Do you know what a vanguard general is?"

Guan Ping was silent for a while, and said. "Encounter mountains and open mountains, meet rivers and build bridges, find the weakest point of the enemy's army, and then send the battle report back to the central army, praying for the army to defeat the enemy with one blow. Find out, strive for victory for the army, and strive for conditions."

"Not bad!" Zhu Ling seemed to admire Guan Ping, a young man. He felt that Guan Ping was very similar to him when he was young. young general.

only…

--"Pity…"

According to Zhu Ling...

After all, he felt that Guan Ping would inevitably be buried here in this battle, and Zhu Ling sighed in his heart...

"General Zhu?"

Before Zhu Ling came out of his reverie, Guan Ping asked again.

"What does General Zhu think? What is a vanguard?"

Zhu Ling pondered for a while, and said indifferently: "It is important to find out the details of the enemy army, but if you only do this, then the vanguard general will appear a bit ordinary. The vanguard army is more important to find the opponent's weakness, and then Take advantage of unpreparedness, kill with one blow, severely damage the enemy army, and boost the morale of the soldiers of the three armies, so that the morale of the two sides is completely different before the real battle begins! Only in this way can the army be invincible!"

Zhu Ling's words still taught Guan Ping a lot...

He clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and while continuing to drive the horse forward, he cupped his hands towards Zhu Ling.

"The juniors have been taught..."

At this moment, a small officer walked up to Guan Ping's side, and made a wink. Guan Ping hurried to his horse and walked to the side of the small officer, and the small officer put his mouth next to Guan Ping's ear, and whispered: something happened.

The appearance of this scene made Zhu Ling a little vigilant...

"It turns out that the rear army couldn't keep up..." But Guan Ping mumbled.

In ancient wars, the front army marched too fast, and the rear army did not keep up for various reasons. This is a normal thing...

And this also made Zhu Ling's vigilance disappear in an instant.

Guan Ping did not forget to bow his hands to Zhu Ling: "General Zhu, I will go to the rear army to have a look first..."

"It's okay, there is still some distance to the valley where the ambush is, and I will also control the speed of my thousand steps to ensure that the rear army can keep up."

Because Zhu Ling's trilogy came from Cao Jun's defection, he is more familiar with the road, and it is precisely because of this...

The whole march was led by Zhu Ling's Qianbuqu.

"I'll come as I go—"

Guan Ping groaned softly and went to the rear army...

When he arrived at Liao Hua's place in the rear army, Guan Ping happened to see that under the instruction of Liao Hua, a team of 20 people was rushing out of the big team, and quickly walked into the jungle on the side. , many of these 20-member teams disappeared.

Seeing this scene, Guan Ping's face changed suddenly. He immediately rode up and questioned Liao Hua.

"General Liao? What are you doing?"

"Just now I heard from my personal guard that the army is going farther and farther, but its strength is getting smaller and smaller. I still don't believe it, I never thought...it was General Liao Hua who instructed you. General Liao Hua has been the father and commander for many years. Could it be that I don’t know, is it a serious crime for soldiers to flee before the battle?”

Guan Ping's face was condensed, and his eyebrows were almost raised.

Liao Hua didn't explain immediately, but raised his head and looked at the sky. At this moment, he couldn't help but think of the scene when the fourth son Guan Lin asked him to go to the study secretly just before he set off.

At that time, when the door was pushed open, Guan Lin sat on the main seat and wrote vigorously, while Zhang Xingcai sat on the side grinding ink as always.

Liao Hua's entry seemed a bit abrupt, he didn't dare to interrupt, so he quietly waited for Guan Lin to finish writing...

"Sit first—"

Guan Lin didn't raise his head, but greeted him. Zhang Xingcai motioned for Liao Hua to sit on the other side of the table.

And as Liao Hua approached, as he sat down, he saw clearly that what Guan Lin was writing was not articles, poems, or even letterheads, but names.

The first paragraph contains three names——Xiahoudun, Cao Ren, and Cheng Yu;
The second section contains twenty names——Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu, Zhong Yao, Hua Xin, Wang Lang, Chen Qun, Huan Jie, Xia Houshang, Zhang He, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Le Jin, Cao Hong, Xia Houyuan, Zhu Ling...

Seeing the name "Zhu Ling", Liao Hua's heart skipped a beat. He muttered, what Mr. Yunqi wrote was Cao Wei's civil and military skills!And it is an extremely special and prominent...

But Zhu Ling...he has already surrendered, how could he write with these Cao Wei Wenwu.

Looking further down, in the third paragraph, there is only one name - Xun You!
In the fourth paragraph, there is only one name - Sima Yi!

The fifth paragraph is still a name - Guo Jia!
So the question is, what is this writing about?
Finally, as Guan Lin finished writing the 26 names, he unfolded the bamboo slips and blew with his mouth, as if to dry the ink on them.

Obviously, Guan Lin was unusually solemn about these 26 names.

Zhang Xingcai asked softly: "Is this what you mentioned just now, the 26 civil and military personnel that will be established in the Cao Cao Taimiao in the future?"

Indeed, what Guan Lin wrote was the list of 26 civil and military ministers in Cao Cao's Taimiao.

The first batch of "three people" was decided by Wei Ming Emperor Cao Rui in 233 AD;
The second batch of 20 people was decided by Cao Shuang and others in 243 AD;

The third batch of one person, Xun You, was decided by Cao Shuang in 244 AD;

The fourth batch of one person, Sima Yi, was decided by Sima Shi in 251 AD;
One person in the fifth batch, Guo Jia, was decided by Sima Zhao in 262 AD.

Aside from Sima Yi in the next two batches, because it was ordered by Master Sima, there was a lot of water in it.

But in terms of loyalty alone, there is no doubt that the 24 people in the first, second, and fifth batches are still very stubborn... If they say they will betray Cao Wei and seek refuge with Shu Han, at least they will not be able to pass the test in Guan Lin's heart .

You must know that civil and military personnel such as Xun Yu, Jia Xu, Yu Jin, Xu Chu, and Cao Chun are not qualified to enter this temple.

From this, it can be further confirmed that if there is even a little "disloyalty" to Wei, no matter how great the meritorious service is, it will be in vain!
That is to say, from this Taimiao list, Guan Lin was sure from the beginning.

——Zhu Ling will never surrender to the Shu Han!
Until he is forced to go to Liangshan...to the point where he has to surrender, he will never surrender, let alone surrender...

It is even more impossible to give up his loyalty to Cao Wei and Cao Cao because of grievances, because of a hundred army sticks, this kid... But when Yuan Shao gained power, it was rare to abandon Yuan Shao and take refuge in Cao Cao.

His admiration and belief in Cao Cao have been honed over time. Cao Cao abused him thousands of times, and he treated Cao Cao like first love!

At this moment, Guan Lin raised his head, looked at Liao Hua, and then at Zhang Xingcai.

It's like answering Zhang Xingcai, more like answering Liao Hua.

"People from the Taimiao, these people... eight or nine are inseparable from ten... So, can you believe that a general who can enter Cao Cao's Taimiao in the future? Will he sincerely surrender to us? Is there no fraud in this?"

It is no exaggeration to say that if it was not Guan Lin who said it, but Zhang Xingcai, Zhuge Ke, or even Lu Su.

Liao Hua will definitely ignore it...

Just listen to it and it will pass, and you won't take it to heart.

But... it was Guan Lin who said it, so it's different, where is the pearl and jade...

It seems that since Mr. Yunqi became a blockbuster, he has never missed it. What he missed, his prophecies often come true.

Until this moment, Liao Hua finally understood why Guan Lin secretly summoned him.

"Master Yunqi wants me to get rid of Zhu Ling outside?"

"No, it would be too boring to get rid of him." Guan Lin said with a smile: "Wouldn't it be a waste of such a good opportunity to 'do the trick' if you don't make good use of it?"

"Just plan?" Liao Hua asked back.

Guan Lin blinked his eyes and explained to Liao Hua: "Zhu Ling asked our army to dispatch so many people to intercept the Nanyang soldiers and horses. In fact, as early as two days ago, all the Nanyang soldiers and horses had already moved out of the Hengshan camp, and they had already hidden in the whole camp. In other words, the current Hengshan camp is just an empty camp. Although the stove is still the same every day, the fire is still the same, but in fact, it is just an empty camp... Yu Jin did it very carefully. But in the end... still can't hide it from me!"

ah... ah...

Hearing this, Liao Hua's pupils were already round and huge. He looked at Guan Lin in disbelief, and subconsciously thought about...if what Mr. Yunqi said is true.

That...then this "useless" ambush wasted the actions of [-] soldiers, which would be fatal in today's battlefield, especially the battlefield where [-] enemy troops are ambushing in Jiming Mountain!

It is enough to completely reverse the situation in Jiangxia, and it is hard to recover!

"Yun... Young Master Yunqi, how do you know? The Nanyang Army moved out of the Hengshan camp..."

"You don't need to ask in detail about this, it's a long story." Guan Lin waved his hand lightly, and said in one sentence...

"Then...then what should I do?" Liao Hua's voice became stumbling...

"Break the whole into pieces..." Guan Lin ordered lightly, "You lead Jiang Xia's army at the end, while marching, let the soldiers break up into pieces, and finally gather together and hide in the valley near the Forbidden Bishan camp... Just wait until Yu Jin's army is dispatched, and immediately capture his camp, making Yu Jin and his soldiers from Runan homeless!"

Guan Lin's words became more serious...

The more you talk, the sharper the sharpness in your eyes will be!
At this moment... Liao Hua recounted his conversation with Guan Lin to Guan Ping.

"...This is all Master Yunqi's plan!"

While Guan Ping was stunned, Liao Hua took out a letter written by Guan Lin from his bosom.

This is a letter specially prepared to prevent Guan Ping from misunderstanding.

Among them, the four huge characters made Guan Ping's heart thump - he will use his plan!
call!
With a long breath, Guan Ping finally knew the ultimate purpose of the action here.

He couldn't help muttering: "Fourth brother...is he trying to lure the snake out of the cave? His purpose is to use the empty city of Anlu City to lure out...the soldiers who will be banned? Then let General Liao Hua break through the enemy's stronghold?"

"Exactly!" Liao Hua nodded heavily... At this moment, his eyes were extremely determined. Along the way, he had already simulated countless times of attacking the enemy's stronghold in his mind!
He has made countless plans... He wants to make sure that nothing goes wrong.

"Then why keep Zhu Ling?"

Guan Ping turned his head subconsciously, wanting to look for the "traitor general" Zhu Ling at the head of the long line.

"Don't turn your head." Liao Hua hurriedly reminded, and after Guan Ping quickly turned his head back, Liao Hua said: "Young Master Yunqi needs someone to tell Yu Jin that Anlu City is an empty city! Also tell these soldiers The horse's deployment tells Yu Jin...to relax his vigilance!"

"Then..." Guan Ping fell silent, and he couldn't help shouting: "But Anlu City is really an empty city! There are only 2000 people stationed there, Yu Jin...Yu Jin has more than 2 people, and he is the most disciplined Cao Wei army. Southern Army! Fourth brother... Fourth brother, his opponent is Yu Jin, the head of the five good generals!"

In stark contrast to Guan Ping's nervousness...

Liao Hua has always been calm and relaxed. This is not his first battle. He is used to this feeling. He is even more used to trusting Guan Lin all the time... believing that he can create miracles.

"I don't know about that." Liao Hua said lightly, "I only act according to Mr. Yunqi's orders. As for...how Mr. Yunqi defends against the enemy with an empty city, I think...if it is him, he must have prepared for it! Yu Jinzong So what if he is the head of the five good generals? He has not been able to take advantage of anything..."

This…

All of a sudden, Guan Ping couldn't help but fell into a deep thought.

He now has two huge doubts.

If it is according to what the fourth brother said, can the [-] Lu family army led by Lu Xun capture the Jiming Mountain where the [-] Nanyang soldiers are stationed?

Also, with Yu Jin's more than 2000 soldiers and horses, can Anlu City, where the fourth brother's [-] men are stationed... can it be defended?
Undoubtedly, among these two, Guan Ping's biggest worry is the latter!
Guan Ping at this moment, his mood is like a hundred claws scratching his heart, his whole feeling is like countless needles, piercing him one by one...

However, he quickly shook his head, trying to calm himself down. He knew very well that at this moment, it was a critical moment, and he couldn't hesitate...

——If you hesitate, you will lose!
Finally, Guan Ping groaned heavily: "I understand, I will cover you and these Jiang Xia soldiers to leave this army..."

"what…"

Hearing the affirmative answer suddenly, Liao Hua still couldn't react for a while.

Guan Ping smiled and said, "Why? Do you think that only my 2 Guan family troops are left, and I can't escape the aura of [-] people?"

"Haha... General Liao Hua, you can relax. The Guan family's army is not only good at fighting, but also good at marching, setting up suspicious formations, and bluffing. Ha ha, in my opinion... even if you go to the Hengshan camp, Zhu Ling will not be able to fight." It turns out that 8000 soldiers and horses are missing here!"

Having received such a guarantee, Liao Hua clasped his hands heavily.He didn't speak, just saluted heavily.

Immediately continue to arrange this "breaking the whole into parts" plan.

Exactly, there is a huge convenience in breaking it up into parts, that is, a large number of troops are scattered, and it is extremely easy to find the "eyes" of the enemy...and then destroy him quickly!
On the other hand, when Guan Ping returned to the former army, he drove his horse to Zhu Ling's side calmly.

"Is it done?" Zhu Ling asked casually.

"Yes!" Guan Ping said: "Jiang Xia's soldiers are not as strong as Guan's army after all... I'll just slow down a little bit!"

"I think so too..." Zhu Ling said solemnly: "Only when the army gathers together to form a joint force, can we cut off all the enemies rushing to help. This is like a chopstick and a pair of chopsticks. The power is not the same. language!"

Ha ha…

Hearing Zhu Ling's words, Guan Ping felt "haha" in his heart.

He smiled and said: "If we win this battle, I will really ask General Zhu Ling for advice on the art of war and strategy... As for commanding troops, my Guan Ping's experience is still very shallow..."

"Where is Mr. Ping, I am extremely happy..."

At this moment, Zhu Ling was thinking "do the trick", Guan Ping also thought "do the trick", everyone tacitly slowed down the marching speed...

There is no happier, another state of "tact" than this!

What a joyous march it was!

...

...

At the entrance of the valley of Jiming Mountain, there are many rocks, and the towering forest leaves only a trail in the mountain.

More than [-] soldiers of the Lu family have already come here, and they all stopped to look at the towering mountains, as if the stone steps were glaring at Lu Xun and his people like King Kong...

It seems to be warning this group of incoming enemies.

Tai Shixiang is worthy of being a famous general. He is well versed in soldiers and horses, and is familiar with the relationship between terrain and marching. He looked at the entrance of Jiming Mountain and said with emotion: "With such a narrow and long entrance, if my army rushes in , once the enemy army blocks the entrance, our army will become a turtle in a urn, and it will be difficult to fly even with wings!"

Sun Ru also gave birth to a little timidity, "How about leaving half of the soldiers and horses on the outside, at least they can't rush in, and they can retreat..."

"Haha..." Lu Xun said with a smile: "I'm afraid you have forgotten it? We didn't come to Jingzhou to visit the mountains and rivers, we came to make meritorious service, and we handed in a 'Certificate of Voting'. This 'Certificate of Voting' 'The more majestic you are, the more our Lu family army will be able to hold our heads high in Jingzhou in the future!"

Speaking of this, Lu Xun stood on a stone step. He turned around and looked around at all the clansmen here. He pointed to the entrance of Jiming Mountain behind him and shouted: "Brothers, it has been more than ten years. , we live in Soochow, and you know what Soochow is like, you know better than me! We put on our guns and went to meet the enemy, but we don't have a night to sleep in!"

"It's not that we don't want to sleep, it's the knife hanging over our heads that doesn't let us sleep, it's that Sun Quan's cold smile that doesn't let us sleep, it's those civil and military who are jealous of us and hate us that don't let us sleep? It's ridiculous to think about it, I am Lu Jiajun He has a great reputation and has made countless achievements, but in the end, the huge Soochow still couldn't find a safe place for me and other members of the Lu family to sleep..."

"I, Lu Xun, have devoted myself to revitalizing my family since I was a child, but now my family has been uprooted. My people were forced to exile to the land of Jiaozhou, and my comrades in arms were forced to join me in this land of Jiangxia. Jingzhou is a good place , Guan Yunchang is a righteous general, Liu Xuande is also a virtuous and virtuous, benevolent master who can submit to others, such a master... I don’t know how many times stronger than that Sun Quan? Not to mention anything else, I have not experienced it for several years There is no feeling of a sharp blade on this forehead..."

"I, Lu Xun, the patriarch of the Lu family's army, the honor, disgrace, and prosperity of my Lu family depend on the present. My Lu family has left Soochow to be more able to trust the horse and stand still. Brothers, don't fight for others, for ourselves, for us. Tone, to be able to fight for a place to sleep next to this big man, this battle, we can only win and not lose—"

Speaking of which...

Lu Xun immediately ordered, "In Soochow, we are turtles in urns and beasts in cages. Even with wings, we can't fly out of the cage. But now it's different. After leaving Soochow, we are tigers. Wings... this mere Jiming Mountain, let us trample on it!"

Speaking of this, with a "swish", Lu Xun pulled out the "exorcism" sword, and pointed at the entrance of the cave, "I, Lu Xun, are the vanguard, and all the soldiers follow me into the valley—"

Some impassioned words... came out from the mouth of this young young commander.

And following his words, all the Lu Family Army seemed to be firm!

"Into the Valley—"

"Into the Valley—"

"Into the Valley—"

In an instant, the [-] Lu Family Army moved. They moved with generosity and bravery, and they took that firm step... Their eyes were like knives, their eyes were green, and they all Swipe to kill in.

"Kill ah-"

"Kill ah-"

"Rush in—"

The empty valley echoed, and the shouts and killings shook the heavens and the earth!
...

...

—— "Report, Lu Xun and his soldiers have all entered the valley!"

--"all?"

As a scout reported the situation of Jiming Mountain to Le Jin, Le Jin's pupils narrowed. He couldn't believe it. Facing such an empty valley and such a road, Lu Xun had no way out. influx...

Does he not know how to command troops?

Or do we have to burn the boat?
But... that's not how you play when you're desperate!

"Hehe..." Le Jin laughed, and he said with emotion: "I was the one who was abrupt, there is no general in Soochow who can command the army, they are all bullshit!"

Speaking of this, Le Jin seemed to explode after being suppressed for a long time...

He didn't talk too much nonsense, he gave orders quickly.

"March quickly, head to Jiming Mountain..."

The introverted and deep words echoed in the valley in an instant...

Le Jin has been waiting for too long... Just an hour ago, he had received Yu Jin's urgent letter, which contained only one sentence:
——"You must hold your breath and wait until the enemy army enters the valley before dispatching... so as not to startle the snake, and the cooked rabbit will fly away." 』

finally…

His patience finally brought the emergence of a winning fighter.

"Hehe...it's finally here."

With a faint smile, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart.

——"[-] against [-], still flanking back and forth, hehe...the advantage is mine! 』

...
