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

Chapter 365 Huang Yueying: Isn't he the purpose of my coming here?
The lights were brightly lit, and after the victory, the Shu army was in high spirits. Gao Xiang, Wei Yan's lieutenant general, laughed and said, "It's better to lie in ambush by Chief Wen. It's been a long time since we fought such a happy battle."

Another lieutenant, Wu Ban, also said with a smile: "Our army first seized Dangkou to appease the Ba people, and then ambushed here without any injuries. We killed four to 5000 of the Wei army and obtained countless food, grass, and ordnance! General Wei made a great contribution!"

Wei Yan was not happy, and he was muttering about the plan proposed by Zhang Fei. He was not so hypocritical, and was still amazed at Zhang Fei's exhaustive strategy.

It's just...according to Zhang Fei's deployment, the whole plan has just been halfway through.

At this moment, all Wei Yan could think about was Zhang Fei's plan, and he said calmly, "Generals, you have worked hard today, but you still have to work harder. After the canal is laid down, there will be a time for you to rest and reward your meritorious deeds!"

what…

When they heard that they were going to fight him, all the soldiers including Wu Ban and Gao Xiang were startled.

This is a great victory just now, so we are going to continue fighting?

Why don't you take a break?

It is very tiring to shoot ten thousand arrows at once, and to clean up the battlefield!

Gao Xiang questioned: "General? It's true...now, our army's morale is high, but the enemy's Dangkou stronghold is defeated. At this time...Dangqu's Cao army must be prepared? It's hard to win by surprise, so it's not easy to attack?"

Wei Yan squinted at Gao Xiang.

In fact, Gao Xiang had asked Zhang Fei about this question before.

Wei Jun is not an idiot, he has lost his mouth, and Zhang Xi can't break through. At this time... at the intersection of Sanba and Dangqu, the core strategic position, it is bound to be strictly guarded, so it is not so easy to break through.

But Zhang Fei's deployment...

Thinking of this, Wei Yan immediately ordered: "Order all the soldiers to put on Wei Jun's uniforms immediately, don't rest now, go directly to Dangqu... to capture Dangqu tonight!"

That's right, Zhang Fei's deployment is like this, put on Wei Jun's clothes, pretend to be Wei Jun, and then give Cao Jun who is in the ditch a sudden blow!Take this strategically important place in one fell swoop.

This…

Wei Yan's order shocked everyone's jaws.

Wei Yan's tone was extremely firm, "Dangkou Village fell, Xiahou Shang died in Huangquan, the news will soon spread to Dangqu, and at this time, if we wear Wei Jun's costumes, Dangqu must think that we are the Wei army who fled back, and open the city gate, so... As long as Dangqu can hold the city gate and the soldiers outside swarm up, this Dangqu can be broken in one fell swoop!"

Speaking of this, Wei Yan raised his tone, "Come on, cheer me up. This time, it's a great achievement. If it's not complete, it's the greatest achievement in calming the Sanba. Let me cheer you up—"

that's all…

The Shu army, who was still celebrating, changed into the Wei army's clothes in less than a quarter of an hour, and then the army hurried to the northwest.

The goal is directly at the center of the three buses - Dangqu!
In fact, for a moment, Wei Yan felt...he couldn't keep up with Zhang Fei's strategic deployment.

Even, suddenly, Wei Yan was in a trance, he felt... It wasn't Zhang Fei giving orders to him, but he was fighting with Zhuge Liang.

——Clear thinking, clear tactics, and clear goals!

The key is that every deployment is convincing!
How can you not be happy in this battle?
...

...

Jingzhou, Jiangling City.

Ma Liang led the soldiers and stood outside the gate of the post house with a food box in his hands, "Mrs. Xiahou, Mrs. Huang...the lunch has been delivered. I heard from the soldiers that you didn't eat a single bite. Why? You can't be so hungry..."

Speaking of it, the relationship between Zhuge Liang and Ma Liang is both a teacher and a friend.

Ma and Huang are both prominent families in the second echelon of Jingzhou. Ma Liang and Huang Yueying also know each other. This time... Huang Yueying, Xia Houjuan, and Huang Zhong arrived in Jiangling, and Ma Liang personally received them.

Originally everything was fine, they were all from the same village, and they exchanged pleasantries with each other... There were endless things to talk about, and it was easy to get along with.

However, since Zhang Xingcai came back from Xiangyang City, the atmosphere here is not right, it has changed a lot!
The whole changed from a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere to a little quiet and condensed.

"summer…"

Ma Liang was about to open his mouth, but this time, the words "Mrs. Xiahou" only started. Huang Zhong, who was in the courtyard beside him, couldn't help shaking his head. Almost at the same time, Huang Yueying came out of the room and pointed her index finger to signal Ma Liang to stop talking.

really…

As Ma Liang closed his mouth, he noticed that Zhang Xingcai in the room was sitting on the dressing table with her knees hugged. Her face was pale and there was nothing on the table, but her mother Xia Houjuan was on the opposite side of the table...

At this moment, Xia Houjuan's face was ugly, and his entire cheeks were full of anger.

Logically speaking, for a woman with a fresh and pleasant appearance like her, even if she gets angry again... she won't look very vicious.

But at this moment, she glared at her daughter Zhang Xingcai with frowned eyes, and said in a cold tone, "Your father told you to stay here in Jiangling, so you stayed? He asked you to be the guard of Guan Yunqi, and you did it? How can you be like your father and daughter, Xingcai... Do you know... You are a girl, even if you are engaged, even if you are married, you can't give it away for nothing, right? You can't rush to stay by others' side before you even have a word, right? You...you will make others look down on you , let alone... I... Is my daughter so cheap?"

Xia Houjuan was about to cry as she spoke...

Compared with Zhang Xingcai who practiced martial arts since childhood and grew up in a military camp, it is obvious that Xia Houjuan is not as strong and resolute as her, and she still has the traditional way.

"No matter what, mother doesn't care, you go back with mother right away. Your parents and your second uncle and aunt will discuss the matter between you and Yunqi. According to the order of your parents and the words of the matchmaker, you should not meet with Guan Yunqi again before the dust settles! If one day, you can really be together, then your second uncle's family will come to propose marriage..."

When Xia Houjuan said this, Zhang Xingcai's cheeks were flushed, but her expression was determined.

This made Xia Houjuan look at her with a surprised expression...

"Mom... when you married dad, you weren't as old as me? When you were my age, you gave birth to me and my elder brother for dad..."

Xia Houjuan asked in disbelief, "What are you talking about?"

Zhang Xingcai repeated firmly, "Mother...you were younger than your daughter when you and your father made a private decision for life! Besides, now, I'm pretty good here. You can ask Er Bo, Military Adviser Ma Liang, and Prefect Mi. Did your daughter make a lot of contributions by Brother Yunqi's side?"

Xia Houjuan said angrily and worriedly: "You are a girl...not those men? Parents don't ask you to make a lot of contributions!"

Zhang Xingcai replied: "Brother Ke Yunqi once said, who says women are inferior to men? Women can also beat men..."

These two sentences were mentioned by Guan Lin when he told Zhang Xingcai about the task of "Lingju"...

Guan Lin has no intention of speaking, but Zhang Xingcai has intention of listener.

Obviously, after mentioning these two sentences, Zhang Xingcai's aura became much stronger: "Mother, just leave me alone, let's talk about it... I am in Jingzhou, and besides escorting Brother Yunqi, I have other important responsibilities!"

Xiahou Juan asked sadly, "What else can you do?"

Zhang Xingcai replied without hesitation: "Urge Brother Yunqi to write the chapter of "God of War" for my father! If I hadn't urged me, how long would Brother Yunqi have sent one? I'm afraid that in the end, my father will be anxious to death!"

"Father wrote in a long letter saying that if he didn't have this latest chapter of "God of War", he wouldn't be able to sleep at night!"

This…

Listening to Zhang Xingcai's words, Xia Houjuan's eyes became a little resentful. She gritted her teeth and muttered: "In the past, your father said that he couldn't sleep without me... But now... when he is away on an expedition, he can't sleep soundly like that. A man's mouth..."

Seemingly stunned by a slip of the tongue, Xia Houjuan quickly covered his lips.

This made Zhang Xingcai laugh out loud, "Look... Mom mentioned my dad again!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Xingcai's tone became meticulous, "Mom...you must also know how beautiful it is to like someone. This feeling makes you feel that there is love in life, and there is hope in suffering. Even his pain is noble, and you want to bear it with him. This is the life your daughter fantasizes about!"

Zhang Xingcai has always been careless, daring to love and hate, and Xia Houjuan didn't know what to say when he blurted out his words successfully.

Xia Houjuan could only look at his daughter, and slowly shed tears: "Why are you...why are girls from every family, talking about all this...are you ashamed?"

When saying that he was not ashamed, Xia Houjuan even looked out the door a few times, as if he felt embarrassed for his daughter.

But...inexplicably, her daughter's words reminded her of the past.

Recalling the Rangshan Mountain outside Xudu City, recalling the woodland full of memories, and also recalling the accident...but it seems to be the story of her and her husband Zhang Yide that was predestined.

——The love in front of the woodcutter is open, and the queen is looking for traces;

——One firewood and one tree, one walk and one look;
——Crossing in the same boat, sleeping in the same pillow.

At this moment, it seems that countless pictures are rushing to Xia Houjuan's heart...

She shook her head hard, trying not to think about it.

But inexplicably, this feeling became stronger and stronger, and it also made her imagine.

——"Who knows my family, obviously I just went out of the city to collect firewood, but... I met a black-faced man inexplicably, and it looked terrible, but gradually... gradually I couldn't do without him, and I was willing to have children for him, who would understand my family! 』

It seems that the conversation between the mother and daughter has reached a stalemate.

Outside the door, Huang Zhong, Huang Yueying, and Ma Liang could hear clearly...

Huang Zhong winked at Huang Yueying, and Huang Yueying returned to the room again.

She intentionally walked to Xia Houjuan's side, and patted her on the back lightly, as if to comfort her...

Immediately afterwards, Huang Yueying looked at Zhang Xingcai: "You have said so much, and you are expressing... Yunqi is good in your heart, but how good is he? Where does he show it? Your mother and I know nothing! Don't you...shouldn't you introduce it to us?"

Huang Yueying successfully opened up the topic...

Should I be reserved about taking the topic away from my daughter's house?We talked about whether the prospective son-in-law of the Zhang family is excellent?

It can be seen from this that Huang Yueying's ability to change the topic and her understanding of the world are also top-notch.

And her words suddenly opened Zhang Xingcai's chatterbox.

"Mother and aunt don't know, right? Brother Yunqi is amazing. In Mianshui Villa, he designed one after another miraculous ordnance. He was generous in every battle, winning more with less. He used to pretend to be Huang Laoxie, playing around with Cao Wei's generals? Or... Mother and aunt will go to Mianshui Villa with me. The weapons and axes inside are supernatural. My daughter knows everything about it and can use it. You can explain it to your mother and aunt in detail. some."

After hearing Zhang Xingcai's words, Huang Yueying paused for a moment, and thought to herself:

——"Isn't that what I came here for? 』

Immediately, she murmured: "Mianshui in the western suburbs... Mianshui Villa?"

"Yes, it's Mianshui Villa!"

Following Zhang Xingcai's reply, Huang Yueying smiled, "The Mianshui Villa is my home—"

When she said these words, Huang Yueying was fascinated by the originally small villa, and by the weird old man in the villa...

For several years, I haven't come back to see him!

It's kind of disrespectful...

Following Huang Yueying's words, Xia Houjuan finally nodded heavily...

It seemed that her daughter was grown up and had a unique personality, so she couldn't convince her.

Then the next best thing is to look at this prospective son-in-law...

During this trip to Jiangling, I haven't seen this "son-in-law-to-be" for the time being, so...going to see the "Mianshui Villa" that this son-in-law has made great achievements, we should be able to see some clues, right?

"Alas..." Xia Houjuan sighed helplessly, she was also drunk, her husband was disobedient, her daughter was disobedient, her son was disobedient, and there was no one in the family who was obedient.

Who knows how hard it is!

On the other side, when the topic came to Mianshui Villa, Huang Zhong outside the door also became interested. He asked Ma Liang, "Ji Chang, I will ask you, at what hour did you shoot the crossbow arrows that killed [-] Cao's troops? But it also came from Mianshui Villa!"

"Naturally!" Ma Liang replied with a smile, "I was planning to use this trip to tell General Huang that Mr. Yunqi is best at making bows and crossbows, and that the Mianshui Villa has the most weapons. Bows and crossbows are the most numerous weapons in Mianshui Villa. I think the crossbows he designed will be of great benefit to the old general Huang who can walk through Yang at a hundred steps!"

Hearing this, Huang Zhong's eyes suddenly froze.

He couldn't help but muttered in his heart:

"Is this kid best at making bows and crossbows?" 』

After all, the crossbow designed by Guan Lin...had accomplished the feat of killing a military village and [-] Cao troops in one hour.

With Zhuyu in front, it was difficult for Huang Zhong not to be interested in him, his crossbow, and Mianshui Villa.

Speaking of which, I will see Huang Chengyan from the same clan again.

When mentioning him, Huang Zhong will inevitably think of some unbearable past events!
Apparently, this Huang family including Huang Zhong, Huang Gai, Huang Chengyan, Huang Zu, and Huang Hao, has... a lot of things inside it!

There must be some grievances and hatreds!
...

...

Wang Ping, the guard of Caowei Dangqu, was also a leader of the Congren tribe.

When Cao Cao attacked Jiangzhou in the past, he hesitated in the face of Zhuge Liang's "empty city". At that time, Wang Ping, who was a vanguard, volunteered.

——"General Zhang He's life is related to the command of the army, and there must be no loss. Let the little one go to find out. My life is low, and I go into the city. Even if there is an ambush, it will not hurt me if I die alone."

It was precisely because of these words that Cao Cao noticed Wang Ping, and also noticed behind him... this sturdy and fearless tribe of people.

Cao Cao’s reply to Wang Ping at that time was——“Ten Commander Wang Ping! You just said something wrong! The lives of every brave soldier under his command are worth nothing!”

That's why...

After Cao Cao returned to Hanzhong, he immediately reused Wang Ping and asked him to settle in Dangqu with the help of Wudou Mijiao, persuaded his Jiaoren tribe to surrender to Cao Wei, and entrusted him with important tasks.

Of course, because of the need to relocate, even if Wang Ping stepped in, no more than [-]% of the Congren tribe would surrender to Cao Cao...

More people are unwilling to move away from the place where they have lived for generations.

That's why Zhang Xi led troops to force the emigration...

At this moment, Wang Ping is the prefect of Dangqu.

Guarding the central throat of the Sanba, it is no exaggeration to say that the Wudang Canal... the Sanba is in danger!
only…

He is destined not to be able to sleep at night.

Just now, he received two consecutive letters of flying pigeons. One of them was that Zhang Yun in Bameng Mountain was blocked from breaking through, and he fell into Zhang Fei's plan. He lost his troops and retreated to Bameng Mountain again.

The second is that Dangkou Village was attacked by the Shu army, two Xiahou generals died, and Dangkou Village had a different owner.

One must know that Dangkou Village is the last barrier of Dangqu. Losing Dangkou Village... the pressure on Wang Ping's side will multiply infinitely.

And there are less than [-] people in Dangqu City...

at this time…

"Report—" A guard quickly came to report, "A large number of Wei troops from outside the city have fled here, but they wanted to enter the city but were blocked by the city gate... The small ones dare not make decisions without authorization, so they came to ask the general for instructions."

Hearing this, Wang Ping suddenly stood up, "Take me to see..."

Not long after, when Wang Ping came to the top of Dangqu City, he saw a group of remnants of defeated soldiers rushed to the bottom of Dangqu City in embarrassment and were stopped by the city gate. They shouted loudly in the dark night: "General Wang, quickly open the city gate and let us in. General Zhang and the two generals of Xiahou fell into Zhang Fei's trick.

When Wang Ping first entered Cao Ying, many generals in Cao Ying, especially the lieutenants, did not know each other well, so he could only stretch his neck to look down, "Who is this?"

"I am Zhang Hua, the deputy general of General Xiahou! Of the 2000 men in my unit who were scattered, only 800 were killed. All the brothers were wounded..."

While speaking, the man called Zhang Hua took the initiative to reveal the wound, and sure enough... the wound was deep and bleeding...

Looking at the soldiers behind him, there were only 800 of them, but each of them was in a state of embarrassment and disheveled... The bright Wei Jun's battle robes were mostly stained with blood.

Wang Ping slammed on the top of the wall and said angrily: "I didn't expect this piece of flying to be so powerful...it beat our army so badly! Alas...let them in so that they can settle down, and also send a doctor among them to stop the bleeding from their wounds!"

Wang Ping is still kind...

Of course, he was also certain that at this time...Dangkou Village had just been captured, and it was late at night, the Shu army would definitely not work hard, and it would be too risky to attack here all day and night!

In addition, although Zhang He was defeated, he was still on Mount Bameng, Zhang Fei would definitely focus on Mount Bameng, and would not take the risk of attacking the Qu!
This is not in line with the art of war... and some are greedy for merit!

With a "creak", the city gate of Dangqu slowly opened, only to hear a chuckle from a person in the army under the city tower, and this person was Wei Yan.

The suspension bridge was also slowly leveled, and the city gate opened little by little like the mouth of a giant beast in the middle of the night...

As soon as the remnant of the "Wei Army" entered the city, Wei Yan suddenly raised his knife and fell, knocking down the guard at the city gate and shouting "Kill!"

The Shu army who showed his true colors killed the defenders of the city defense like chopping melons and vegetables!
At the same time... Shouts like a wave sounded outside Dangqu City, and thousands of Shu troops emerged from the darkness and rushed towards the city that was too late to be defended.

The leading generals were Wu Lan, Gao Xiang, and Wu Ban... They quickly killed the suspension bridge, killed those defenders of the Wei state who were too hasty to fight, and poured into the open Dangqu city gate!
This city where the three buses meet, the geographical location is very important, this city that Cao Wei is determined not to abandon, was breached at this moment...

The fire was dazzling, and the screams of soldiers were everywhere!

Gradually, these screams became less and less, Wang Ping was filled with grief and indignation, but he was still desperately resisting——
