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

Chapter 294 I admit that I gambled, but I won!
Chapter [-] I admit that I gambled, but I won the bet!

In winter, dark clouds roll in the sky, gloomy turbid clouds cover the sky, and willow trees dance with dead branches.

The sky is getting darker and darker, as if the entire Anlu County in Jiangxia will be completely shrouded in this dark cloud...

However, the air was extremely dry, and the cracked air kept pouring into the mouth, making people's throat dry, and there was no trace of rain.

Like this churning cloud.

As the "Jingzhou-Huainan" frontline battlefield, Anlu County, which exists like the "eye of the storm", is currently experiencing turbulent waves.

This moment is also—the undercurrent is surging!
...

...

Guan Lin sat in the study and painted, as if he wanted to relieve his emotional tension.

Don't look at him calm and composed on the surface, with a face that does not change when Mount Tai collapses in front of him, but in his heart, Guan Lin is also "panicked!"

This was the first time he had truly arranged troops on the battlefield, arranging soldiers and horses... It was impossible to say that he was not nervous.

But, have you never eaten pork, haven't you seen pigs running?
Think about how his father Guan Yu looked like when he was in command of the army, nothing else, just one thing, as the coach...even if it is pretending, he must pretend to be calm and calm, pretending that everything is under control!
——One has to pretend!
Zhang Xingcai knelt and sat on the side of the desk as usual, rubbing ink.

From time to time, I look at Guan Lin's paintings, looking at the little vermilion embellishment...

In fact, she was quite depressed when she failed to fight the enemy.

But thinking about it later, first of all, the purpose of her father's keeping her here was not to make meritorious service on the battlefield, but to protect Guan Lin's comprehensiveness as he repeatedly emphasized!
In the words of his father Zhang Fei, don't you have to guard your own man?
Secondly, brother Yunqi won't let him play?So... can it be understood that Brother Yunqi cares about her?Worried that the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, and she was hurt on the battlefield.

Thinking about it this way, my mood became much more peaceful, but the dark clouds outside the window seemed to reflect the battlefield that was ready to go... This inexplicably made Zhang Xingcai's heart throbbing because of the tense situation.

Even biting his lip subconsciously.

On the drawing at this moment, Guan Lin is drawing a slender woman, wearing an extremely tight red robe with windy skirts, a slender body, and a light veil on her face, but she can't hide her extremely beautiful outline.

The silky three thousand black silk hangs down, and the green fingers in a pair of Qianqianyu hands, each of which is fully outlined by Guan Lin's pen, she seems to be holding no weapons.

But if you look carefully, the blade between your fingers is her ultimate move, killing people invisible!

And that indifferent eyes, cold demeanor, just like the goddess of the moon palace.

While painting, Guan Lin also softly chanted: "Don't say that a man is strong, don't say that a daughter is delicate, a heroic country does not let men have ambitions, heroes are fearless, just wait for nothing-"

Guan Lin sings like this...

But Zhang Xingcai didn't even have the thought of being jealous anymore, she was all focused on this confusing battlefield.

She wanted to remind Guan Lin, but when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them all. She didn't know how to remind her, so she couldn't help but whispered: "You are not worried at all about this battlefield... Even one more question is fine. rare."

"Haha..." Guan Lin smiled, leaving behind a clear smile under a disguise, "Everything that should be deployed has already been deployed. I don't know martial arts, and I am not very courageous. The ability to respond on the spot is far worse than those generals." I'm worried, is there any use for asking?"

Speaking of this, Guan Lin laughed again, "Could it be possible, I want to learn from Sun Zhongmou, who pretends not to understand, is not good at commanding troops, but wants to command troops, and ends up running faster than anyone else on the battlefield, commanding indiscriminately, And then Dayu’s game was overwhelmed by 800 people? Then it became the laughing stock of the whole world? Laughter and generosity! Hehe... I still have some self-knowledge. I will do what I am good at, and leave it to those who are not good at it. alright!"

This…

Zhang Xingcai was taken aback for a moment, her brain circuit was relatively clear, what she cared about was not Guan Lin's "decentralization", but Guan Lin's "Dayou's game!"

Then...

——『Is it Daiyu's game now?Why do you always feel confused? 』

Thinking of this, Zhang Xingcai bit her lip again. Guan Lin's words did not relax her a bit, but she became more worried.

at this time.

Outside the study, there was the sound of hurried hooves, and the neighing of the horse being stopped... Guan Lin raised his eyes and looked out the window, and a scout was rushing to report.

—— "Report, according to the order of the prefect Guan, we sent dozens of scouts to the Hengshan camp to investigate. It turned out to be an empty camp, with only a few thousand stoves and a few hundred defenders!"

—— "Report, reliable information, there are more than [-] Nanyang soldiers gathered in Jiming Valley."

——"Report, General Lu Xun and the Lu family army have entered the Jiming Valley..."

—— "Report, the Yujin Bishan camp is recruiting troops, and the posture is not panic. I don't know if it is to support the Jiming Valley, or there are other purposes."

Zhang Xingcai's heart skipped a beat every time these scouts reported, and she panicked...

On the other hand, Guan Lin, no matter how his heart fluctuates, his expression is as calm as ever, neither happy nor sad... especially his eyes, which are as calm as a lake.

at this time.

——"Report..." A scout rushed into the study with a dignified expression. He saw Guan Lin kneeling on one knee and reported: "Prefect Guan, it's not good...there is a 3-man Cao Wei army. Soldiers and horses, as if falling from the sky, suddenly marched out from behind Jiming Mountain, galloping towards the entrance of Jiming Mountain, looking like they were going to block the entrance of Jiming Mountain and trap our reinforcements to death!"

"what…"

Now, Zhang Xingcai couldn't help but exclaimed.

If the urgent report just now includes that the Hengshan Daying Camp is an empty camp;
Including [-] Nanyang soldiers who quietly sneaked into Jiming Mountain;

Including Lu Xun leading the Lu family army and killing them in;
Although these are quite unexpected, but... At most, the enemy army had already prepared, and the reinforcements were ambushed in Jiming Mountain...

But no matter how you say it, in terms of military strength, it is also [-] vs. [-], which is an evenly matched battle.

If Lu Xun's ability to command in front of the battle is outstanding, even though the enemy occupies a favorable location, it is not impossible to fight!

But the sudden, inexplicable, and even 'sudden arrival' of [-] soldiers, all of the plans... all... were disrupted.

The battlefield at Jiming Mountain has become fifty thousand to twenty-five thousand...

Combined with ambushes, front and back attack...

In Brother Yunqi's hands, this hard-won reinforcement, he...they seem to be finished!This is the rhythm of their entire army being wiped out!

"Brother Yunqi...they..."

Zhang Xingcai looked at Guan Lin worriedly, her teeth were already biting her lip heavily, because she was too nervous, her lip was slightly bitten...but she didn't know it.

On the contrary, Guan Lin's expression was completely opposite to Zhang Xingcai's, still calm and calm, as if Cao Jun's "Heavenly Soldier" didn't affect him at all.

"I see, you continue to explore—"

"promise--"

Following Guan Lin's order, a group of explorers quickly exited the study, got on their horses... and galloped away.

It was Zhang Xingcai, her eyes widened, and she couldn't help asking: "You just... just know? You are not worried at all, are the Lu family's army surrounded? They are the reinforcements you have worked so hard to bring in from Jingzhou... "

Zhang Xingcai wished she could lead troops to rescue...

But now there are only 2000 people in Anlu City?She can lead troops, but...how can she be saved?

"Sister Xingcai, don't panic..." Guan Lin noticed the crack on Zhang Xingcai's lips. He took out a clean silk handkerchief and put his hand on Zhang Xingcai's lips, "So careless?"

Guan Lin's tone was concerned, but what he was concerned about was Zhang Xingcai's lips, which were still not a battlefield!
The more Guan Lin was like this, the more anxious Zhang Xingcai became. After a quick brain circuit, Zhang Xingcai suddenly realized something. She grabbed Guan Lin's wrist and said loudly: "Anlu City is no longer safe. You must get out of here now, and I'll see you-"

Zhang Xingcai was already pulling Guan Lin hard.

Seeing her concerned and chaotic expression, Guan Lin knew that this "sister", whose relationship with him was already better than that of a "pro-sister", was worried about his safety.

Seeing that Zhang Xingcai grabbed her and was about to forcibly take her away...

Guan Lin hurriedly said: "Sister Xingcai, calm down, why don't you listen to me tell a story?"

--"story? 』

Zhang Xingcai looked at Guan Lin as if looking at a strange creature.

She paused, and said solemnly: "I don't have the heart to listen to your story now. If you want to tell it, you can tell it casually on the way out of here... How much do you tell? How much do I listen to!"

Having said that, Zhang Xingcai put both hands on Guan Lin's shoulders, and she shook Guan Lin violently.

——"Brother Yunqi, wake up, this is a battlefield! This battle is going to be lost!"

After all, she is a girl, and her ability to withstand stress will be weaker. Zhang Xingcai almost cried.

Guan Lin was helpless, "What's the matter? How about I cry?"

"Are you still joking?" Zhang Xingcai was really angry, and her expression suddenly became more serious, "If you don't leave, I will use force..."

"Ahem..." Guan Lin coughed lightly, and his expression became serious all of a sudden, "Okay, I won't play around with you anymore..."

As he spoke, his finger pointed to the location of "Jimming Mountain" on the map spread out on the huge desk...

"Sister Xingcai, listen to me. Now there are indeed three groups of soldiers and horses gathered here. Cao Wei's [-] Nanyang soldiers, led by Nanyang prefect Hou Yin, and Le Jin, one of the five good generals, led [-] troops sent by Cao Cao to support them." Soldiers and horses, as well as our reinforcements, [-] Lu Family Army..."

While speaking, Guan Lin had already placed the inkstone, pen holder, and teacup here respectively.

The inkstone is between the pen holder and the teacup. Obviously, the inkstone is the Lu Family Army, the pen holder is the Nanyang soldiers, and the teacup is the mysterious [-] soldiers of the Cao Army led by Le Jin!

Listening to Guan Lin's words and looking at Guan Lin's placement, Zhang Xingcai seemed to have thought of something suddenly, and she quickly asked, "How do you know that Cao Wei's [-] 'falling from the sky' reinforcements are led by Le Jin, one of the five good generals?" ?”

"Listen to me first..."

Guan Lin didn't answer Zhang Xingcai directly, but pushed aside all the "Nanyang Soldiers" and "Lu Family Army" in the valley on the map, and pushed aside the "Le Jinjun" outside the valley alone.

In the end, he pointed to the pen holder representing the Nanyang soldiers, and said with a smile: "Sister Xingcai, I solemnly tell you now that the current situation is all in my plan! You don't have to worry, let alone be afraid... we The real enemy, You Zi, is kept in the dark!"

——"The real enemy? 』

——"Keeping it in the dark? 』

Zhang Xingcai pondered subconsciously for a moment...

Guan Lin's words continued.

"Actually, from the time when the Yujin army went south to Jiangxia, from the beginning of this Jiangxia battle, this Nanyang prefect Hou Yin, and the [-] Nanyang soldiers he led, are already my people!"

ah... ah——

Guan Lin's words were like a bolt from the blue, making Zhang Xingcai dumbfounded and she was stunned.

This is…

For a moment, Zhang Xingcai's whole head was like a mess, she couldn't think clearly, what exactly did Yunqi mention mean?
But she was quick enough to realize a bigger truth.

If...if what brother Yunqi said is true, then... then the situation on the battlefield in Jiming Mountain will be completely reversed. It is not the Lu Family Army who is ambushed in Jiming Mountain.

Rather... rather... the Lu family army and the Nanyang soldiers used a "grand" ambush to welcome the happy soldiers who "fall from the sky"!
That's right, this army of soldiers and horses fell from the sky, but they fell from the sky to be beaten!
When Zhang Xingcai thought of this, her pupils were already dilated, and she looked at Guan Lin in disbelief.

and many more…

She ran the matter through her mind again, and suddenly it all came to her.

——"I understand, that's why, brother Yunqi knows... the [-] raiding troops are led by Le Jin, one of the five good generals..."

——"It turned out to be Nanyang soldiers... the information reported by Nanyang prefect Hou Yin to Brother Yunqi..."

——"That is to say, the entire Jiangxia battlefield here... every move of the Imperial Army, from the very beginning, all... none of them escaped the eyes of brother Yunqi!He's... he's playing tricks! 』

Astonishing, astonishing...

For a while, Zhang Xingcai stood there blankly, and even the hand holding Guan Lin became limp and powerless.

Guan Lin, on the other hand, still looked calm and relaxed. He smiled and said, "Sister Xingcai, now that you have time, listen to me tell a story, right?"

Zhang Xingcai nodded instinctively and dully...

She didn't say a word, but her throat was choked up, she couldn't speak at all, and she didn't know what to say.

Guan Lin's words continued, and he glanced at the painting just drawn from the corner of his eye. The heroic female knight in the painting was coming to life, expressing affection...

He said lightly: "The name of this story is - who said that women are not as good as men! Even women can beat men!"

While speaking, Guan Lin's memory quickly returned to the scene in the official medical office that had not yet set off for Jiangxia, and was still in Jiangling City.

That is the picture of him and Lingju alone in a room;

That was the picture of him telling Lingju an urgent plan and entrusting Lingju with a task that would cost the lives of tens of thousands of people;
That was the picture of him entrusting the success or failure of Jiangxia City and even the success or failure of the "Jingzhou-Huainan" frontline battlefield to this "parrot" mistress.

The past is like smoke, but... only this one - vividly in my mind!
And all of this...

It all started that afternoon when Guan Lin's index finger was deliberately pressed against Lingju's lips.

At that time, Lingju, her heart... was like being stung by a bee suddenly, a little painful, a little itchy, but more of an endless aftertaste.

Perhaps, this is the taste of love when it sprouts!
...

a month ago.

Jiangling City, in Jingzhou Second Official Medical Office.

Lingju was surprised at the task Guan Lin gave him.

That is the task of letting the "parrot" people build Luoyang.

This task is not easy, and it is not even an exaggeration to say that it is a tooth pulled out in the mouth of a tiger...

But after some words and rhetoric from Guan Lin, Lingju still accepted the task.

And as this task was clearly explained, Guan Lin made another sentence:
——"One more thing!"

Lingju thought it was the name "Zhu Ling" written on the white paper that Guan Lin had just dropped on the ground, and she asked, "Are you going to investigate this person?"

The answer is no. Guan Lin wrote Zhu Ling's name and specially marked Zhu Ling to remind him to pay special attention to this character, but what Guan Lin asked Lingju to do, or a person to meet, was not not him.

After hearing this name, Lingju turned pale with shock, opened her mouth subconsciously, and exclaimed:
——"Are you from Nanyang Wancheng?"

It was at this time that Guan Lin pressed his index finger against Lingju's lips, causing her heart to scramble, and a certain kind of germ, even some kind of impulse, some kind of emotion that surpassed the relationship between master and servant came into being.

Guan Lin also emphasized, "My aunt, grandma, you can't talk nonsense...If it leaks out, Jiang Xia will be finished! Don't even think about plotting in Nanyang!"

The reason why Guan Lin is so solemn is because the person Guan Lin asked Lingju to find was none other than the Nanyang prefect—Hou Yin!
This is the conversation between Guan Lin and Lingju.

Guan Lin spent an hour teaching Lingju how to meet the Nanyang prefect Hou Yin after sneaking into Nanyang.

Finally, just now carefully handed a bamboo slip into her hand.

Then he said earnestly, "Just give this to Hou Yin and make sure he can see it... You have completed the task."

"At this time, if the 'Jingzhou-Huainan' battlefield here is a great victory... then you will be the one who made the first contribution, Lingju!"

Lingju knows what it means to make a meritorious service and make the first contribution.

It means that the mother can live a more leisurely life;
It means that "parrot" can be reused more;
It also means that her soul can enter the heart of this young master Guan Si more deeply...

——"Ah... this damned curiosity, this damned throbbing bud, alas... it's just..."

Lingju couldn't help pursing her lips. She is always vigorous and decisive, she is black and white, she has no middle ground in her heart, this time... she can't control her own heart palpitations!
actually…

Guan Lin's task is quite difficult in Lingju's view.

After all, to go deep into Nanyang Wancheng, she had to be exposed to Hou Yin, the prefect here.

In case of a mistake, she will be caught, and the parrot will be exposed...

She resisted at first, but...Guan Lin's incomparably convinced look convinced him, making her think...maybe, this Fourth Master Guan has a plan in mind, and this matter...will come naturally.

——No matter how bad it is, just treat it as repayment!
For this purpose, Lingju agreed to the matter.

certainly…

The reason why Guan Lin asked Lingju to take the risk to meet the Nanyang prefect Hou Yin.

There are two reasons, one is because the battlefield is between Nanyang and Jiangxia, Cao Cao is bound to mobilize troops from Nanyang;
Second, it was Hou Yin, the prefect of Nanyang, Guan Lin knew him too well.

Although there are very few records about him in history, there is only one.

——In the 23rd year of Jian'an, that is, in October three years later, because Nanyang County was suffering from corvee, Hou Yin and Wei Kai jointly rebelled against Cao Cao, gathered more than [-] people, occupied Wancheng, and responded to Guan Yu in the south!

And the uprising of Hou Yin and Wei Kai... was an important one among the many "reinforcements" in Cao Wei's territory after Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army.

Because this support army occupies the land of Wancheng, it directly threatens Xudu, and its influence is far greater than the threat of "Liang", "Jia", and "Lu Hun" group of "thieves"!

And according to history...

Hou Yin and Wei Kai, the rebel army, were attacked by Cao Ren in the first month of the following year, and the city was destroyed and killed!

This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that although the uprising ended in failure, Cao Ren broke the city as soon as he broke the city, but after breaking the city, he actually took the most vicious method against Wancheng - massacre the city!
Chiguoguo - bloody suppression!
According to legend, this massacre killed more people than Pengcheng in Xuzhou and Yecheng in Jizhou... The exact number is immeasurable!
It can be seen from this... Cao Cao and Cao Wei's clan have hated Nanyang since they captured Nanyang... especially Wancheng.

I don't know if there is a reason why Cao Cao "killed three sages with one shot" in Wancheng, but it cannot be denied that the people in Nanyang have suffered too much oppression these years...

Where there is oppression, there must be resistance!

What they lack is just a spark!
Therefore, in Guan Lin's analysis, Hou Yin's rebellion was definitely not a sudden whim, but because he sympathized with the suffering of the people in Nanyang. Just no chance!

It was not until Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army and the righteous men of the Central Plains responded one after another that he raised the banner.

Therefore, Guan Lin is sure... Hou Yin, and even the Nanyang soldiers... This is a weapon that can be used by him, and can be used as a surprise soldier on the battlefield. At the most critical moment, it is like a dagger that can be directly inserted into the enemy's heart the power of!

At this moment, Guan Lin told Zhang Xingcai the story of "Lingju enters Wanhui Houyin"... in detail and eloquently.

At the end, he couldn't help saying with deep emotion.

—— "This matter, I admit, I have a gamble, but luckily, I won the bet!"

...
