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

Chapter 333 How can the death of Guan Yu scare off the living general of heaven and man?
Outside Pound's barracks.

In the field hunting place covered with withered grass, Pound's son Pang Hui is galloping his horse. He draws his bow and shoots an arrow, and the arrow flies towards a lone goose in the sky like a shooting star.

It seems that the strength and arc of the arrow are just right.

Pang Hui's three younger brothers, Pang Feng, Pang Long, and Pang Hu, all applauded.

But at this moment, there was a sound of blare, and he realized that another arrow was also flying into the sky from the opposite side.

Two arrows hit the wild goose at the same time, and the wild goose fell down with a cry.

Guanzhong people are very good at riding and shooting, and this is Pang De's family.

"Tack..."

Accompanied by the sound of horseshoes, Pang Hui and Pang De galloped towards each other. Pang Hui seemed a little surprised and shouted quickly:

"father!"

Pang De blurted out: "The last time your lieutenant general was punished by General Cao for drinking and eating meat in the barracks during the day, Zensheng still doesn't have a long memory, and he took a group of brothers out hunting in broad daylight again? There is no need to defend the army camp." ?”

"Why don't you hunt?" Pang Hui looked at his father with a smile, "Didn't you hear about it? Guan Yu scraped his bones to heal the poison and kept silent, but in the end he vomited blood. This is a flashback. That Guan Yu is dead! Jingzhou should think about how to go to the funeral for him. At this time, what kind of military camp should we guard? We should let the soldiers relax..."

This…

Pound naturally also heard the rumors about Jiangling, and it was for this reason that Cao Ren hurriedly called him to Fancheng. Pang De was about to go out, but found that the defense of each battalion was lax, and all the sons stationed at the gates of the village were gone. After asking, I just learned that...the four sons went hunting in unison!

Pound was still very angry at first...but thinking of the rumors about Jiangling, he subconsciously felt that it was nothing.

This time, after hearing what his son Pang Hui said, Pang De, who has always loved his son, didn't say anything more, but just reminded, "Don't let General Cao find out that you have neglected your duties and abandoned the barracks to hunt, otherwise, he will punish you." Speaking of you, it's not easy to intercede on behalf of the father!"

"Punish us? Haha..." Pang Hui spread his hands with a smile, "If he comes, why should I talk to him? I heard that the defenders in Xiangfan haven't returned home for three years? The salary doesn't increase every year. All the vacations have been omitted, for this... there are quite a few complaints among the soldiers, and the morale of the army has long been floating!"

"He still scolded me? Hehe, it's time for the boy to scold him! Is Guan Yu so powerful? As for making the soldiers so afraid? Even if he is so powerful, it's not the same as being killed by an arrow from his father... This is all It's father's credit, why is Cao Ren so fussy?"

Because it is determined that "Guan Yu is dead", then... this great contribution, if traced back to the source, is naturally the poisonous arrow, which belongs to Pound.

It is because of this that Pang Hui doesn't care about Cao Ren!

"If Dad... nothing else, the three younger brothers and I will go hunting again! I never thought that there are still many prey hidden in the winter forest." Bow and arrow, go hunting again...

Winter prey are the easiest to shoot because they are frozen and sluggish.

But watching the four sons leave, Pang De didn't speak, his expression was neither happy nor angry, and the lieutenant beside him hurriedly asked: "The news of Jiangling has just been sent back to the four sons and they carry it like this. The general is afraid..."

"Don't be afraid!" Pang De raised his hand boldly, "My son is right, Guan Yu is dead, and the most urgent thing for Jingzhou is Guan Yu's funeral, haha..."

Speaking of this, Pang De smiled, smiling very calmly, "You never really thought that Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang would really hand over Jingzhou to a teenage boy, right? , the situation in Xiangfan is very safe... According to what my son said, let the soldiers take a rest, and when the new commander of Shuzhong arrives, there will be tough battles!"

Pang De still cherishes his son too much, he always considers it from his son's standpoint, and explains every sentence for his son's behavior.

Of course, what he said had some truth to it.

at this time. "Report...to the general." A deputy came in a hurry, walked to Pound's side, and knelt down on one knee to report: "The last batch of 1 recruits from Jizhou has been sent. Now, all [-] recruits have arrived at the camp..."

"Set up more tents, settle them down, and select three thousand veterans, each of whom is a leader, to lead them separately." Pang De ordered, "As for the drill, don't rush this moment. The prime minister's order is to guard Xiangfan, not plot against Nanjun. , Let the brothers rest for a few days! The next time I feel so comfortable, I don’t know when it will be!”

"Here!" The deputy general took the order and immediately went to arrange...

Pound looked at his son who was hunting from a distance, with a gratified smile like an old father on his face.

Speaking of which, Guan Yu died, so the arrow that Pang De shot at Guan Yu also became higher.

It was also that one arrow, enough for the prosperity and wealth of several generations of his Pang family!

A few generations no longer need to be like him, from the bottom, with his head on his waist, climbed up step by step, and climbed out of the pile of dead people——

As if, for a moment, Pound saw the hope of revival!

His Pang family, a family of warriors, can be regarded as standing up!
...

...

This is the third day after bone scraping to cure poison.

"Ugh--"

A faint sigh came out of Guan Lin's mouth.

Just now, the eldest brother Guan Ping came, and his purpose was as usual to see his father... Speaking of which, Guan Lin did not allow anyone to visit his father for a day, which is reasonable, but it has been three days... Still no one is allowed to visit, even with his father's closest relatives and loved ones. People who are not allowed to visit, which is a bit unreasonable.

Now the entire Guan family army is full of discussions.

Some said, "The second general is dead. The reason why the fourth son does not allow people to visit now is to stabilize the morale of the army and wait for the news from Shuzhong to send a general to preside over the overall situation."

Some said, "The second general is not dead yet, but he is extremely weak and cannot be disturbed by outsiders. Therefore, the fourth son refused everyone's visits. He did the right thing!"

Some even spread conspiracy theories, saying, "The Fourth Young Master doesn't want the Second General to wake up!"

All in all, because this matter was strange, because Guan Yu's condition was unknown, and because Guan Lin didn't allow people to visit, all kinds of rumors were rampant in the entire Guan family army.

Just now when Guan Ping came here, he just asked, "Fourth brother, just tell big brother, is our father dead or alive?"

As if... Even the most sensible elder brother, this time, was a little impatient, and the whole thing released was a flustered and flustered aura.

Of course, this is a good thing for Guan Lin.

The eldest brother can't hold his breath, so...the eyes of those "Cao Wei" and "Soochow" are even more impatient. It is beneficial to the whole situation to send this piece of information back to Xiangfan.

However, the difficulty lies in Guan Lin. He has to stop everyone from visiting Guan Yu.
...then the news that "Guan Yu is dead" is more real and more precious!

In the past three days alone, Guan Lin stopped Guan Ping twice, Guan Yinping four times, Guan Xing six times, Guan Suo once, Wang Fu, Zhao Lei...and a group of deputy generals of the Guan family army. I can't remember how many times I stopped them.

"Ugh…"

Therefore, after Guan Ping left, he couldn't stop sighing.

Lu Xun was on the side, looking at Guan Lin's white hair, thinking about his gray hair overnight because of Sun Quan's backstab, it seems... far less white than Guan Lin's.

If Lu Xun's whiteness is temple white, then Guan Lin's whiteness is grizzled... Lu Xun didn't know that Guan Lin was dyed with 'pigeon' cake and 'pigeon urine', he thought Guan Lin was really stressed!

"It's not easy for you..." Thinking of this, Lu Xun couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"It's not easy yet!" Guan Lin shook his head helplessly... "I can stop my brother, my brother, my sister, and these lieutenants, but... if my mother comes, I don't know how to stop her? If you don't keep it neat, you have to show that rebellious side!"

Guan Lin's tone was low, and his tone was extremely desolate...the pressure was still too great.

Even Guan Lin transferred Shiwu to Zhoucang to prevent soldiers from intruding into it to visit his father. It is the most critical moment, this is the most competitive moment, and we must not lose the chain!

"I really admire you too!" Lu Xun looked at Guan Lin with a little more admiration in his eyes, "You are the only one who can think of this idea. Your brothers, sisters, and lieutenants are going to turn against you. The entire Guan family army The morale of the army is fluctuating, not to mention Cao Ren, Pang De, Xu Huang... Even I, Lu Xun, if I were not by your side, I would be sure... General Guan is really gone!"

"What's going on in Xiangfan?" Guan Lin raised his eyes slightly.

Lu Xun said solemnly: "There is no movement in Xiangfan, but the defense of Pound's barracks has been relaxed a lot, and the number of scouts and scouts around Jiangling City has also decreased a lot! According to reliable sources, Pound's four sons during the day Hunting in the wild, roasting the prey at night, drinking and feasting every night, it seems to be completely slack."

Guan Lin nodded: "This can be regarded as a positive direction, but..."

Halfway through his speech, he stopped talking.

This aroused Lu Xun's interest, "What is it?"

"I'm thinking." Guan Lin pursed his lips and pondered, "When will Cao Ren, an old tortoise, be able to relax his guard? I've heard that Xiangfan's defenders haven't been home for more than three years. I've even heard that Zheng Under the order of the widow, the defenders of Xiangfan separated their daughters-in-law, but the daughter-in-law is still in the Central Plains...Let’s not talk about that, she has never touched her hands! These defenders are suffering!"

As soon as this statement comes out…

"Hahaha..." Lu Xun suddenly laughed.

The gloomy atmosphere here seems to have been swept away...

at this time.

"Report—" A personal guard stepped into the room and hurriedly reported to Guan Lin: "Mrs. Hu is here..."

As soon as this remark came out, Guan Lin and Lu Xun looked at each other, and Guan Lin waved his hands helplessly... What should be faced, will be faced sooner or later!
...

...

As more and more news came back from Jiangling.

On the towers of Fancheng, in the streets and alleys, in taverns and tea stalls... More and more people began to talk about Jingzhou and Guan Yu.

And the sergeants defending the city of Xiangfan talked about some topics closely related to them.

"Is Guan Yu dead?"

"I hope he's dead. In this way, General Cao can show mercy and give us some time off. I haven't been home for three years!"

"Who isn't? Ever since she became a military household and was sent here to be stationed here in Xiangfan, my mother-in-law...doesn't know what's going on now? I feel that if I don't go back, she will be abducted! If I go back I picked up the child for nothing, then I will be so angry!"

"I don't have a wife, but I have an old lady. She is not in good health and can't write letters. It's been three years. I just want to see her... how is she doing now! Is she still healthy?"

These sergeants were talking about family leave back home.

It's my own mother-in-law at home, my old mother...

Speaking of which, soldiers in the Han Dynasty had no holidays. Their military service was similar to the compulsory military system. They usually served for two years...two years and they could not go home.

However, what Cao Wei implemented was the "military household" system, which is equivalent to...soldiers who have been put together from amateurs and from all directions to professional soldiers.

So... In addition to the annual military salary, the annual holidays are also a point of concern for military households... There is always time to go back and spend time with the family.

Of course, Cao Wei is not generous to military households... Each year, these military households are only given one month to go home and visit relatives.If the war is tense and this vacation is deprived, then...the next year will have to make up for it.

Similar to the Xiangfan battlefield, because of too much pressure, Cao Ren did not let the soldiers who defended the city go home for three years. The soldiers felt bitter!
As time goes by, the soldiers will inevitably feel homesick, and morale will naturally be affected to a certain extent.

But the pressure Guan Yu brought was too great, there was no other way but to bite the bullet and persevere.

At this moment... On the city tower, Cao Ren and Xu Huang hid quietly in the watchtower beside them, listening to the discussions of the soldiers quietly.

At this time, some young soldiers began to complain.

"Speaking of which, Prime Minister Cao issued a widowhood order and gave me a daughter-in-law, but what's the matter! My daughter-in-law is in Yecheng, and I'm in Xiangyang. It's been two months, and I haven't even seen my daughter-in-law. I haven't even touched a hand... I haven't touched a woman when I grow up to this age!"

Speaking of which...

The young soldier was full of bitterness,

"I was thinking, if I hadn't even touched the daughter-in-law I was assigned, and I was unlucky...and died on the battlefield, wouldn't this daughter-in-law whom I had never seen or touched become a widow again, and would If I distribute it to others, then I will die! Ah... ah..."

Having said that, the young soldier was already snot and tears.

Some of the taste of old tears.

The old soldier on the side laughed at him, "I said, what's wrong with you recently, you are thinking about women... Hahaha, the spear in your hand is sharpened, but the spear in your heart is itching? Hahahahaha... I should find you a little girl first, let you vent your anger!"

As soon as the veteran spoke, all the soldiers "hahahaha..." burst out laughing heartily.

The new recruit was not shy, and met the eyes of the veterans, "You...you don't care, but I... I have never touched a woman before!"

"Hahahaha..." The laughter continued...

It's just that this group of veterans laughed, laughed and cried, and all the soldiers cried.

I feel homesick, I miss my mother, my mother-in-law!

After a while, the patrol team finally passed by, and Cao Ren and Xu Huang walked out from the watchtower...

Xu Huang said with emotion: "Our soldiers in Great Wei have suffered a lot!"

"I don't know their suffering." Cao Ren lowered his brows, "But in these years, Guan Yu has made countless northern expeditions, and the farthest one was to cut off all the support from the northern border to Xiangfan. It's not easy either!"

Cao Ren's emotion was profound, as if no one could tell the pain in his heart...

at this time.

"Report..." A sergeant knelt down on one knee and reported to Cao Ren, "It's been four days since the news came back, and Guan Lin still doesn't allow outsiders to visit Guan Yu! Many people in the Guan family's army have grown emotional...threatened to condemn Guan Lin! "

"Look..." Xu Huang said with emotion: "As expected of this Guan Jiashiro, he wants to delay and send a new general to the middle of Sichuan... I just don't know, who will I send?"

Cao Ren also pondered for a while, as if thinking a little... Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, Ma Chao?One name after another came to his mind.

But in the end, his tone was firm, "No matter who it is, at least...it won't make me so afraid like Guan Yu! Let me wait without even letting the soldiers go back to visit relatives!"

Speaking of this, the last line of defense in Cao Ren's heart seemed to be completely loosened, "Pass on my military order, let the soldiers go home to visit their relatives in batches, and take a good rest!"

"General Zixiao..." Xu Huang exclaimed. He was astonished that Cao Ren was relieved in the end, and chose a seemingly more radical method... He chose to let these soldiers return to their hometowns to rest.

Instead of taking advantage of the situation to attack Nanjun, nor is it a more secure defense.Before Xu Huang could say anything, Cao Ren's voice came out again, and he sighed first: "This time, it can't be fake, right?"

Speaking of this, Xu Huang bowed his hands solemnly, and he added:
——"Hahaha, can the dead Guan Yu scare the living General of Heaven and Man?"

This... Hearing this, Cao Ren was taken aback, then he smiled, he smiled heartily.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

It seems... Xu Huang's words made him quite useful!

In just a long time, the soldiers of Cao Ying in Fancheng became excited and agitated.

Everyone was discussing one after another, and the focus of the discussion has changed from
"Is Guan Yu dead?" moved to "Finally able to go home!"

Yeah, the lure of going home... finally being able to go home!
from this point of view.

——This Guan Yu's death is really just right!
——General Pound has made great contributions!
...

...

"what is this?"

Ling Tong, who was imprisoned, opened his mouth angrily, "We kindly scraped Guan Yu's bones to heal the poison, but now, we are imprisoned in this prison instead?"

Zhuo Shu, Zhuo Rong, and Ling Tong were locked together, and the prison where they were held was far more spacious than ordinary prisons, even equipped with simple beds.

However, since he was a child, Ling Tong has never had such an experience. He treats others with "the etiquette of a national scholar", and he also hopes that others will treat him with "the etiquette of a national scholar".

It is precisely because of this that he is more angry than anyone else, "How can there be such a reason in the world, a doctor who heals a person, but if he fails to heal the doctor, he must... imprison the doctor? This Guan Lin even set up an official medical office. What did he do? Want a doctor? What is medical ethics?"

Because of being with Zhuo Rong for a long time, Ling Tong was more and more infected by the young woman's medical ethics, so he said this.

But, where is there anyone in this big prison?And no reply!

"Don't talk about it..." Zhuo Shu persuaded softly: "Apart from someone coming when the food is delivered, where is there anyone in this prison? What's the point of me complaining?"

"Then..." Ling Tong was still furious.

At this moment, Zhuo Rong opened his mouth, and she persuaded: "Brother Ling, don't be so... If you are in a hurry, it will affect the wound. I see that your wound has some abscesses in the past two days, and I am a little worried..."

Without waiting for Zhuo Rong to speak out. "Why am I, Ling Tong, afraid of death? It's just that you... especially Miss Zhuo, you shouldn't be locked up here!"

Ling Tong's tone became more and more sentimental. He didn't know why, these days, he always wanted to protect this female doctor.

...

Could it be because her medicine saved her?

Or, she... Her feelings of helping the world and saving people make Ling Tong, a man who pursues the "style of a national scholar", yearn for it?

"Brother Ling, don't get excited." Zhuo Rong continued, "Actually, I have been thinking about General Guan's fainting and vomiting of blood. The more I think about it, the more I have a bold guess..."

"What?" Zhuo Shu and Ling Tong said in unison.

Zhuo Rong hesitated for a moment, and she slowly opened her mouth, "Perhaps, General Guan, from the very beginning, he...he has never fainted, and he resisted the bone-scratching pain when he was conscious!"

Following Zhuo Rong's words, Ling Tong and Zhuo Shu's eyes widened subconsciously, as if hearing something incredible.

And at this moment...the sound of footsteps came from the deep corridor of the prison cell, and at the same time, a torch came out.

As the footsteps approached the torch, a familiar yet unfamiliar man appeared in front of Ling Tong, Zhuo Rong, and Zhuo Shu.

Zhuo Rong exclaimed: "Senior is just...just..."

When the words came to his lips, he seemed to be choked up suddenly.

But the man didn't answer Zhuo Rong, he walked directly to the prison gate, knelt down, and gestured to Ling Tong. "I noticed your wound before, come here, I'll take a look at your wound!"
