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

Chapter 348 From now on, Guan is no longer fighting alone

Cheng Yu's heavy voice came out.

"The prime minister decided to let the second son Cao Pi go to Soochow to discuss the truce, and the third son Cao Zhi succeeded Cao Pi to build Luoyang City, and the construction was completed within two months—"

After blurting out these words, Sima Yi sat down paralyzed, with a few complex emotions on his face.

Cao Zhi looked at Cheng Yu with both surprise and joy. The joy was that he was going to take over from his second brother to build Luoyang and keep it in the world. The surprise was that his father still decided to unite with Soochow.

no... no...

Suddenly, Cao Zhi realized that it was not an alliance with Soochow, but an armistice agreement... that's all!
In other words, the father didn't really make a choice.

Sima Yi pondered in his heart.

——『Prime Minister wants to postpone it for a while, until two months later, and make a decision based on the situation at that time! 』

In fact, whether it is Cao Zhi or Sima Yi, they have overlooked one point. The reason why Cao Cao signed the truce agreement with Sun Quan is that he is sure that Sun Quan wants to sign this "truce" agreement more than him now.

The letter sent by Sun Quan before is especially vivid in my memory:
——"There was Zhuge Kongming in the past, now there is Guanjia Yunqi, and now the fire is ignited, it is to remind the prime minister not to do any more acts of anger and grievance. Think it through."

At that time, Sun Quan was reminding, or fanning the flames, asking Cao Cao to gather more firepower in Jingzhou.

It's not that Sun Quan didn't want to capture Shouchun anymore, but that he felt the difficulty of fighting Cao Cao and the difficulty of "supply" in the rear.

In the final analysis, it was because of "Jiaozhou", because Jiaozhou, which had a lot of savings, was completely independent, which made Sun Quan stretched out in the supply of military supplies, food and grass...

He wants to fight in Shouchun, he wants to occupy Huainan, and under the premise that the battlefield here will inevitably fall into a protracted war, Sun Quan must take Jiaozhou first!
Using the savings of several generations of Jiaozhou to fight against the huge supply energy of Cao Wei behind Shouchun City is a necessary condition for breaking the "Huainan situation".

In addition, Sun Quan is not a magnanimous person. In his opinion, those members of the Lu family fled to the South China Sea of ​​Jiaozhou, just wanting to be safe and happy?

How can it be!

It should be his Sun Quan, he must take it back!
This is why Sun Quan wanted to write to Cao Cao, and wrote again—"Gong also retreated quickly and gave up Huaisi."

It is written again, "If you don't die with one step, you can't be alone!"

Sun Quan wanted to buy some time for going south to Jiaozhou, but Cao Cao also wanted to buy some time for the final decision, whether the situation on the Xiangfan battlefield could be reversed in two months.

For any party, there is no such thing as sitting on the mountain and watching tigers fight, but the situation dictates it!
"Mr. Zijian, let's go..." Cheng Yuyu reminded earnestly: "We can see the difficulty of the prime minister's hesitation when making this decision. Luoyang is located in the world, and the prime minister asked Mr. Zijian to build it, which is enough to show that the prime minister is facing Zijian." Mr. Jian's love and respect!"

"Thank you, Mr. Cheng." Cao Zhi bowed his hands to Cheng Yu, and immediately stood up and stood side by side with Sima Yi. He looked at Sima Yi, "Zhongda, the new battlefield between me and my second brother is about to begin—"

Sima Yi said with emotion: "The world is unpredictable. As the talented Mr. Zijian said, Mr. Zijian has not lost, and Mr. Zihuan has not won. Everything is still unknown!"

Even though the tone of his mouth was flat, Sima Yi's heart was full of turmoil. He was deeply impressed by the mind of Cao Cao, a 60-year-old man, and asked Cao Pi to do "Lian Wu" proposed by Cao Zhi, and let Cao Zhi do "" move the capital"...

Although he loves Cao Zhi more, the prime minister has always maintained his original intention in the fight for the final son!

Even——in a world of great conflict, he just wants to let these two sons fight, and let these two sons fight brilliantly!
Cao Zhi picked up a bowl of wine and handed Sima Yi a bowl of wine. After the two drank each other, Cao Zhi laughed and walked away. Sima Yi only drank half of it, and the remaining half fell into the fire in front of him. In the middle of the fire, the remnants of the wine fell into the fire, and a grand and bright flame rose suddenly. Sima Yi strode out in the light of the fire...

However, no one noticed that there were beads of sweat on his forehead.

Difficult, too difficult——

It is too difficult for him, Sima Yi, to mediate between Cao Cao, Cao Pi, Cao Zhi... and Guan Lin. Isn't his every step like a huge flame rising from the residual wine?
As long as there is one careless step, as long as one step is wrong, he will be completely swallowed by the flames and turned into ashes!
On this side, Sima Yi had a hard time walking.

On the other side, Cao Zhi walked openly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he murmured in his heart:

——『Dezu is gone, but Mr. Li is still in Luoyang, he will help me!He'll help me win sister Zhen back... right?Is it? 』

A question rose spontaneously in my heart, but soon, this question became an affirmation.

——"Mr. Li will definitely help me win a son, help me win my sister Zhen..."

At this moment, Cao Zhi recalled, how long ago... After the second brother got married, he made a mistake and made his father furious. Zhen Mi hid behind the flowers and trees in Cao Zhi's courtyard and asked someone to invite Cao Zhi.

Cao Zhi will never forget that at that time, she was wearing a hood and a cloak, quietly walking out from behind the flowers and trees, and when she gently took off the hood, she stared at Cao Zhi.

It seemed that at that moment, Cao Zhi's sincere and eager eyes met Zhen Mi's sincere and sad eyes.

Cao Zhi will never forget what sister Zhen said when she saw him: "Fourth son, please ask the prime minister for mercy, forgive your second brother..."

Cao Zhi doesn't remember how he answered this question, he only remembers that after answering this question, he couldn't help but ask one more question, "Are you... all right? How is Second Brother treating you? In my sister's eyes, why Is there such a heavy loneliness?"

He remembered that it was precisely because of his words that Zhen Mi had tears in her eyes, but she still tried her best to show a forced smile.

Cao Zhi continued. "If my sister is bored, can you still come to talk to me? Don't worry, sister, I am not a shameless villain. I just want to chat with my sister about poetry, play the piano, relieve my sister's loneliness, and my own... loneliness, I Think, there is always something in common between people's loneliness, right?"

Looking at this handsome and handsome young man, Zhen Mi's final answer to Cao Zhi was: "As a woman, I can't control my fate in my life. I will follow others for a hundred years of joy and sorrow. I am grateful to be alive. My son has a bright future, so I should let go of these things." Take it easy, do something for yourself!"

from this sentence;
From this sentence, "As a woman, you can't control your own destiny in your life, and all the joys and sorrows of a hundred years will follow others", Cao Zhi understood everything. My sister is happier, Cao Zhi must take this "big fight" step!
Thinking about this...

Cao Zhi pursed his lips and murmured involuntarily:
——"Sister Zhen, you always ask me to do something for the country and the people, but in my opinion, serving the country and the people and comforting Sister Zhen's loneliness are both important things to me. 』

While speaking, Cao Zhi took out a piece of white silk from his bosom. This white juan was given to him by Zhen Mi, and he also gave a piece of it to Sister Zhen in return.

In the piece he gave back, there was also a poem written on it.

At this moment, Cao Zhi was already sitting in the carriage, and he kept chanting:
"The bright moon shines on the tall building, and the streamer is lingering. There is a woman who is worried, and there is sorrow and sorrow... The ups and downs are different, when will they meet? May the southwest wind be in the arms of the king. If the king is not open, what should the concubine be? ?”

People say that poetry is charming because of emotion.

There is love in every poem of Cao Zhi, especially this one was created because of "Sister Zhen"-the bright moon shines on tall buildings!

That's sister Zhen's miserable state, and it's also his Cao Zhi's miserable state!

...

...

In Xiangyang City, above the city tower, the torches illuminate the place as if it were daytime.

Across the river to the north, Fancheng and Xiangyang formed a sharp contrast, it was dark and desolate...

And Fancheng is like the epitome of the whole Cao Wei, with a heavy haze shrouded in it.

At this moment, Fu Shiren and Mi Fang are standing on the city tower, facing the wind of Jingjiang and Hanshui, feeling a lot of emotion.

Under the reflection of the torch, their cheeks were inexplicably heroic at this moment, full of force.

At this moment, Fu Shiren could not stop pointing between Xiangfan, "Second brother, look, the mountain to the west is Zhenwu Mountain, and the opposite side of Zhenwu Mountain is Xiangshui. That's where the Lord Ma Yuetan River was..."

"The world only knows that the lord's banquet was extremely dangerous. Only Zhao Zilong accompanied him, and Lu Ma saved his life by leaping up, but who knows? I also went to the banquet with the lord. If it wasn't for me leading Zhao Zilong to stop the pursuers, there would be no lord's horse jumping over the Tanxi River after getting Lu Ma's great power..."

It seems that because of the capture of Xiangyang, Fu Shiren's back became stiff. Even when he recalled the glorious past, he still had a sense of sight of "swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger".

Even... in his mouth, he used to call him General Zhao, but now he directly calls him Zhao Zilong!

After all, Fu Shiren stood up!

Speaking of this, Fu Shiren pointed to the southwest again, and he continued to introduce: "Three miles to the southwest is Fenglin Pass. Back then, Sun Jian, a fierce tiger from the east of the Yangtze River, crossed the river to attack Liu Biao, but was ambushed and killed by Liu Biao. He died here at Fenglin Pass... Farther to the south is Longzhong, where the lord Sangu Thatched Cottage is, but it cannot be seen from here, and it is further away..."

Fu Shiren is like a treasure...

It seems that he is very familiar with various areas in Xiangyang.

This is because Zhuge Liang's strategy back then was to seize Jingzhou while Liu Biao was seriously ill. ,
Because Liu Bei couldn't bear it, he changed his strategy to support Liu Biao's son Liu Qi to succeed him, allowing Liu Bei to indirectly occupy Jingzhou.

After all, the local wealthy Cai family and Kuai family in Jingzhou are even better.

Zhuge Liang's plan was not punished!
However, because of this level of conspiracy, Zhuge Liang has already deployed in advance to plan Xiangfan!
And Fu Shiren is part of his deployment, let Fu Shiren secretly spy on the terrain of Xiangfan, ready to attack at any time!

It is precisely because of this that it is no exaggeration to say that Fu Shiren is the one who is most familiar with the terrain of Xiangyang City in the entire Liu Bei camp.

"what is that?"

Mi Fang suddenly saw a very eye-catching island in the wide river between Xiang and Fan. It seemed desolate, but dilapidated houses could be seen faintly on it, as if someone had lived there before.

"That's Huangjiawan..." Fu Shiren replied without hesitation: "Kong Ming's father-in-law Huang Chengyan, who is now Huang Lao of Mianshui Villa, used to live there with his daughter Huang Yueying. The terrain in the gully is flat, with criss-crossing paths, and there are many unnamed plants growing among the trees and shrubs, which change colors throughout the year. If you look at it in the daytime, it is a picturesque scenery..."

Fu Shiren is like a treasure, and he introduced it in detail...

And this provoked Mi Fang to give her thumbs up again and again, "Oh, if it wasn't for the capture of Xiangyang City, how would I know that elder brother knows Xiangyang so well... No wonder, the third brother said that the third brother has the final say in this Xiangyang city. "

"Hahaha..." Fu Shiren laughed loudly.

In fact, when Fu Shiren and Mi Fang were discussing, Guan Yu was in the watchtower behind them.

Originally... Guan Yu met Fu Shiren and Mi Fang, but it was nothing...

But Guan Yu is a little ashamed of himself if he can't stand it.

That's right, he stormed Fancheng, almost causing the situation in Jingzhou to collapse, but Fu Shiren and Mi Fang directly captured Xiangyang City, completely resolving the disaster he planted carelessly.

In this way, for a while, Guan Yu was a little ashamed to see Fu Shiren and Mi Fang...

Think about it, if the three meet, the two of them will say: "Hey, Yun Chang, you are also in Xiangyang City..."

Guan Yu felt that he could dig out a house with his toes in embarrassment!
——It's really embarrassing!
So, upon hearing Fu Shiren and Mi Fang coming, Guan Yu hid in the watchtower with a few personal soldiers. He could hear the conversation between Fu Shiren and Mi Fang clearly.

Guan Yu was shocked to find out that Fu Shiren, who he had looked down upon in the past, knew Jingzhou so well, like a few treasures. This understanding is a crucial part of the next step in the strategy to enter Fancheng!
If, in addition, Fu Shiren captured Xiangyang City with great determination.

This made Guan Yu feel emotional.

——"Unexpectedly, people can't be judged by their appearance, and sea water can't be measured... Guan has been humiliated by a mere Fu Shiren! 』

Guan Yu was also drunk. In the past few months, he was humiliated by his son Guan Lin many times.

It's good now, being ashamed by Cao Ren, by Pang De, by Mi Fang, by Fu Shiren?

Guan Yu was drunk and numb, and his heart pondered.

——"People say that Guan Mou is arrogant forever, but don't say forever, it is this Xiangfan... Hidden dragon and crouching tiger, is Guan Mou arrogant?"Is Guan worthy of being angry?A single carelessness may ruin the eldest brother's foundation, is Guan a matchmaker? 』

It was also thinking of this that Guan Yu lowered his noble head.

Seeing that Guan Yu's expression was not right, Zhou Cang asked in a low voice, "Second General? Are you all right?"

Guan Yu waved his hand to signal him not to make a sound.

He continued to listen to the conversation between Fu Shiren and Mi Fang, but the stubborn arrogance in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a rare humility...

Outside, Fu Shiren introduced several landscapes of Xiangyang City to Mi Fang, even including how to attack Fancheng by waterway, he had already planned it...

Back then, when Zhuge Liang entrusted him with the task of secretly investigating and spying on Xiangfan, Fu Shiren took it seriously and treated it with great solemnity.

At that time, Liu Bei was in Xinye... Fu Shiren had already simulated countless times in his heart how to attack Xiangfan by water.

I just hate...all he did was useless!
Now, standing on the Xiangyang city tower, he has a great sense of sight pointing at Jiangshan and berating Fang Qiu...

at this time…

"—Report..." A civil official quickly climbed up the tower and presented a battle report to Fu Shiren: "According to the general's request, the detailed battle report has been clearly listed...Just wait for the general to read it and send it to the middle of Sichuan!"

Fu Shiren received the battle report, and Mi Fang also brought her head closer. Mi Fang read: "...the siege of Xiangyang City suffered heavy losses. Thousands, captured [-] prisoners, captured Xiangyang—"

Just now, Fu Shiren interrupted directly: "How can I write the most authentic battle report?"

what…

The clerk was shocked, and quickly explained, "Is it the same number that was sent to Jiangling before and sent to the Fourth Young Master?"

Mi Fang also looked surprised, but Fu Shiren shook his head again and again, "Sent to Jiangling, the one sent to the third brother is the same as the one sent to Chengdu, and the one sent to the lord?"

Fu Shiren was a little angry: "The third brother is one of our own, so it doesn't matter how you write it, but if you send it to the lord, it's an invitation for credit. Write it like this? Doesn't that make us too incompetent?"

Uh…

Mi Fang was startled, and muttered in her heart.

——"This has brought down Xiangyang City?Still incompetent? 』

Fu Shiren's words continued, "Let's write that the siege battle is easy. With the cloud flag eight oxen crossbows and the thunderbolt ten oxen crossbows in front, the garrison bombed wildly, and the defenders collapsed in an instant. Fu Shiren and Mi Fang led the troops to go up first. In the front, Fu Shiren was stabbed four times, and he did not retreat. Mi Fang, who was hit by three arrows, broke the arrows and seized the gate without any hesitation. Well, just write 1000, our army only lost [-] people... the number of prisoners, let’s write [-]!"

This…

Mi Fang was a little dizzy, and he immediately realized that something was wrong, and quickly asked: "This... this... Is it a bit exaggerated!"

"What have you done?" Fu Shiren straightened his chest, "Do you think this is just my merit? The most meritorious service is our third brother's merit. Why don't we, as elder brothers, earn more merit for him? ?”

"What's more, my lord is in Bashu, thousands of miles away. He doesn't know the real battle damage here, how does he know how many injuries you and I have suffered. What he wants is the capture of Xiangyang City, that is, to retreat [-] steps. Back then, the Han army took one as ten credits, so where are we now? It’s just a little bit of extra money!”

this…

Mi Fang suddenly thought about it, it seems that there is some truth in saying this!

However, there is a huge problem here. Mi Fang scratched her head with a worried look on her face, "But... but Yun Chang is also here in Xiangyang City. For this battle report, he...he won't..."

Mi Fang didn't finish her words, but the implication could not be clearer.

They pretended to be credited casually, but if Guan Yu exposed them, wouldn't they be in vain?
"Hehe..." Fu Shiren smiled, patted Mi Fang on the shoulder, and said with emotion: "Second brother, it was Xiangyang that we captured, not Guan Yunchang! Besides, the current situation has changed. Cong Yunchang's defeat From now on, Jingzhou no longer relies on Guan Yunchang alone!"

"Then who do you rely on?" Mi Fang stood out with her chubby belly, showing a naive and bewildered look.

"Of course it's our three brothers!" Fu Shiren patted his chest, and then laughed loudly, "Since we captured this Xiangyang, the entire Xiangfan battlefield, our three brothers have been the main attackers, hahahaha, he is Guan Yunchang, we are happy to let him fight Come on, we are not happy, let him defend the city, don't make trouble with our three brothers in front..."

Uh…

Guan Yu, who was watching the tower, suddenly felt his chest sink and his throat tighten...

Mi Fang admired Fu Shiren's self-confidence, but he still scratched his head at these words, "Isn't that bad?"

"It's a bit bad." Fu Shiren said "bah," as if recollecting it, "How to say, this Guan Yunchang is also the father of our third brother, so let's add him to the battle report. Let's just say... let's say that the two generals stand alone under the city of Fancheng, and let the group of Xiaoxiao hide in the city and dare not move rashly!"

Only then did Mi Fang nod her head, "Brother is still thoughtful!"

Fu Shiren took one last look at the clerk, "Did you hear that? Just write as I said, and send it directly to Shuzhong after writing, and hand it over to the lord..."

"Here..." Following the official's reply, Mi Fang and Fu Shiren were tired of chatting, and it was getting late, so they left the city.

Only then did Guan Yu walk out of the watchtower.

In just a quarter of an hour, Guan Yu was stunned, feeling as if he had passed away...

Zhou Cang frowned, looking angry, "This Fu Shiren and Mi Fang speak so loudly, it's nothing more than pretending to be meritorious, but what did they say... The situation has changed, what are they talking about, they are the main attackers in this Xiangfan battlefield , let the second general assist them! This...is this unreasonable, unreasonable?"

In stark contrast to Zhou Cang's indignation was Guan Yu's expression at the moment.

If it were in the past, he would have already clenched his fists at this moment, his Danfeng eyes were condensed, and he stared angrily, and he would even order Fu Shiren and Mi Fang to be tied up immediately!
Even if Qinglong Dao directly chops with the sword up and down, it is also very reasonable——

but now.

Guan Yu's eyes were only slightly narrowed, and his lowered forehead was slowly raised. He looked at the position of "Mayuetan River" in Xiangshui that Fu Shiren pointed to just now, and looked at Fenglin, where Sun Jian died in battle. Guan, looking towards the "Huangjiawan" between Xiangfan waters...

These, if Fu Shiren hadn't told them, how would Guan Yu know.

call…

With a long breath, Guan Yu seemed to be relieved.
His arrogance was swept away, and he just asked Zhou Cang lightly: "Did General Fu and General Mi say something wrong?"

what…

what…

Zhou Cang was in a daze. Facing the arrogant words of Fu Shiren and Mi Fang, the second general actually...said...what did he say, "Did General Fu and General Mi say something wrong?"

Is it wrong?Is it?what?
Zhou Cang felt that he was completely dizzy. He felt that the Second General today... made him a little strange!

Guan Yu's voice continued.

"Hehe... The two generals are right. In the Xiangyang battle, they were the main attackers, and Guan was just playing as a support."

He smiled slightly, and continued calmly: "Guan should also write a battle report, asking for credit for General Fu, General Mi, and Yunqi... This Xiangfan, Guan has fought for four years and gained nothing, but The three brothers are amazing, they broke the city after a small test...The three brothers are indeed much stronger than Guan—"

Thinking of this, Guan Yu who was relieved, and Guan Yu who trampled his arrogance on the soles of his feet, seemed to be open-minded and sublimated.

While stroking his long beard, he continued to laugh and said, "Haha, in the siege, one thousand losses were lost, and eight thousand were captured. Fortunately, General Fu figured it out. It seems that Guan has to write about the thousand losses in detail." The feat of capturing [-] enemies! If Guan did not write this battle report, how could the eldest brother and Kong Ming believe it? How could they believe it in this world!"

Speaking of this, Guan Yu's eyes inexplicably lit up.

This light is completely different from the light in his eyes before...

In the past, he was the invincible general who independently supported Xiangfan, the famous generals who faced Cao Wei independently, elite legions one after another, and independently supported the sky!
But now he suddenly discovered that after removing all "arrogance" and "conceit", he can clearly see that there are actually helpers around him.

Full of reliable helpers one by one!
He is no longer alone...

And with so many helpers, if the speed is concentrated at one point, it will be ten times faster than his red rabbit horse;
If the power is concentrated at one point, then the power is more than ten times stronger than his Azure Dragon Saber?
And the combat power formed by this force can only be described in four words:
- So terrifying!
"Hehe..." Guan Yu laughed, and he smiled with relief, "From now on, Guan will no longer fight alone!"

...
