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

Chapter 367 Liu Bei's Faith, Guan Jiajun's Past and Present!

Fa is just pretending!
It is true that he was wounded by the sword, but Wang Ping's sword is not a sword for killing, but a sword for seeking death.

Therefore…

The sword did not penetrate Fazheng's body deeply, nor was it a vital point.

Fazheng deliberately wanted to show Wang Ping how his good friend Liu Bei treated his subordinates.

Wang Ping, who was investigated by Fazheng, naturally knew that he was originally a ten-man commander of Cao Wei. After Kong Ming's "empty city plan", he was suddenly promoted by Cao Cao and finally entrusted with important tasks.

His story is widely spread in Cao Ying.

What must have been experienced in the middle, Fazheng could not be more clear, there is Wang Ping's courageous display, and Cao Cao's skills of employing and controlling people.

Fazheng wanted to help Liu Bei fight for Wang Ping, so he had to show Liu Bei's charm, showing a completely different side of this good friend from Cao Cao.

"Xiao Zhi...why did you bother to stop that sword?" At dusk, Liu Bei was still guarding Fazheng's bedside at this moment. Throughout the afternoon, Liu Bei never left Fazheng.

call…

At this moment, Liu Bei exhaled softly, and said with emotion: "Although my martial arts skills are not as good as Yun Chang and Yi De's, I still have some understanding of swordsmanship. In the current world, except for Ma Mengqi and Xu Yuanzhi, swords can't hurt me...but you are wronged. I was frightened by this sword."

Fazheng leaned on the bed, and replied with a smile: "Haha, I underestimated the master's swordsmanship... However, I am too small to block the sword. It is true to save this Wang Ping. According to the plan... this Wang Ping is the one that the master must fight for!"

In a word, Fazheng brought the topic to the main topic, "My lord, don't forget that the plan proposed by the three generals is now at a critical moment, and Wang Ping is also... the most important part of this plan!"

Fazheng brought the topic back to Zhang Fei's plan...

This made Liu Bei suddenly stunned.

What he recalled was the scene when his third brother Zhang Fei was drunk and whipped the soldiers at the foot of Mount Bameng.

At that time, if Wu Lan hadn't arrived, if Wu Lan hadn't revealed all the calculations of his third brother Zhang Fei, Liu Bei would have replaced Zhang Fei if he didn't.

Liu Bei naturally didn't know that Zhang Fei had already fought the "Dangqu" battle and the "Sanba" battle more than 100 times in "God of War".

He knows every defense of Cao Jun and every weakness of Cao Jun.

Even if Zhuge Liang and Fazheng plan, they may not be able to surpass Zhang Fei's level.

According to Zhang Fei's plan...

Getting drunk and bluffing Zhang He is the first step of the whole plan;
The second part of the plan is to lure the two Cao generals Xia Houxuan and Xia Houshang in Dangkou to attack, take advantage of the situation and seize Dangkou Village, and then attack and kill the two generals Xiahou from both sides;
The third part is that Wei Yan asked the soldiers to immediately put on the military uniforms of Cao Wei soldiers and go to Dangqu to ask for help, open the city gate, and seize Dangqu in one fell swoop.

Next part four...just two things left.

One is Zhang Yun on Bameng Mountain. Zhang Fei mentioned that he has his own way.

The other is Padang and Brazil. They need to persuade the enemy generals to surrender after taking Dangqu, and then use this to lure out the enemy troops in Padang and Brazil.

Of course, when Liu Bei heard Zhang Fei's meticulous deployment from Wu Lan, he was shocked, unbelievable, and extremely astonished.

It is not an exaggeration to say that at that moment Liu Bei felt that Zhang Fei was possessed by a "phoenix chick"!

This kind of deployment and planning is quite like "Phoenix" Pang Shiyuan!

Even after Wu Lan left, Liu Bei and Fazheng repeatedly discussed the plan mentioned by Zhang Fei.

After repeated deduction by this pair of good friends, Liu Bei and Fazheng reached exactly the same point of view.

That is to say, Zhang Fei's series of plans are feasible, and the chances of winning are not low.

...One more thing, that is, Zhang Fei is really not what he used to be!It's impressive!
This is why Liu Bei and Fazheng will lead troops to appear in Dangqu.

In fact, there are still Huang Quan, Yan Yan, Liu Feng, and Meng Da who are secretly marching towards Badong and Bazhong...

Now, it is already the most critical step in Zhang Fei's plan.

Persuade the defender of Dangqu, and then use this to lure out the enemy troops in Padang and Brazil, so that the friendly troops who secretly went to Padang and Brazil will find an opportunity to recover Sanba in one fell swoop!
Go through Zhang Fei's entire plan again in his mind...

Liu Bei's eyes narrowed slightly.

Fazheng seemed to see his intentions, and calmly advised: "The plan is half successful, and the remaining half depends on the charm of the lord. The last thing the lord should worry about is your charm..."

"Over the years, how many heroes have surrendered because of the lord's charm, and how many heroes have surrendered because of the lord's charm. In my opinion, Wang Ping, the leader of the Jinren tribe, will be one of them. Besides..."

Fazheng wanted to continue to remind, but he felt a piercing pain in his heart inexplicably, and he subconsciously covered his heart. This is the pain in the heart that often occurs.

Liu Bei thought it was pulling the wound, and asked with concern.

"Xiaozhi? But the wound hurts again...I'll call the doctor..."

As soon as Liu Bei got up, he looked like he was concerned but confused.

"My lord...no need, no need." Fazheng held Liu Bei back, and it was strange to say that the pain in his heart would come and go from time to time, but it came and went quickly.

After leaving, it seems to be all right!
He doesn't even know why?
"My lord, I'm fine." Sure enough, the pain in my heart disappeared in just an instant. Fazheng continued: "Follow what I said just now. Besides, people everywhere have a heart of cherishing the soil. Cao Cao moved the people of Huainan in the past, causing public resentment. Hundreds of thousands of people fled to Soochow. This time, he still doesn't want to repent!"

"The Jin people are like the people in Huainan. They don't want to leave their tribe, their homeland... From this point of view, Wang Ping is bound to surrender!"

When Fazheng said this, Liu Bei wanted to ask more about his condition.

But at this time.

"My lord..." Zhao Yun, who was outside the door, had already entered, cupped his hands and said to Liu Bei, "Wang Ping begs to see my lord..."

Well…

As soon as these words came out, Liu Bei and Fazheng looked at each other. Fazheng cast an "expected" look at Liu Bei, and Liu Bei understood, "Where is Wang Ping? I'll go find him!"

Instead of summoning him, but going to Wang Ping himself, Liu Bei showed no airs at all.

"The last general leads the way..." Zhao Yun replied.

As he spoke, Zhao Yun turned around.

Unexpectedly, Liu Bei said directly, "Zilong, you stay here, don't go with me."

"But...then Wang Ping." Zhao Yun became worried, after all, Wang Ping would stab the lord with his sword in the daytime.

Zhao Yun was also careless at that time, and he was not by Liu Bei's side, otherwise Fazheng would not have been injured.

"No but..." Liu Bei looked back at Fazheng, his eyes were full of meaning, he turned his head again, "Third younger brothers can do this to plan the three busses, if I am the eldest brother, I don't even have the courage to face the leader of the people alone? How can I make this Wang Ping surrender?"

While talking, Liu Bei has already stepped out.

The steps are not big, but they don't have the airs and power of the superiors at all!
He has always been -- moving people with sincerity!
...

...

Huang Zhong and Huang Chengyan have a relationship with Mianshui Villa.

This origin is the distance of 180 steps shot by a bow, or the distance of [-] steps, and the only difference is the life-saving distance of "twenty steps"——

This is Huang Zhong's eternal hatred!

Speaking of which... the Huang family is a big family!

Even the branch of Huang Zhonghan will rise because of the rise of the "Huang family", and die with the demise of the Huang family.

Huang Zhong, like Huang Gai, belonged to Huang Zilian's branch who migrated to Nanyang. For this kind of declining "separate family" children, unless they have extremely strong personal bravery, otherwise...theoretically, it is difficult to get ahead.

Speaking of which, Huang Gai's family was luckier than Huang Zhong's family. He went to Beijing to serve as an official for Sangong, while Huang Zhong could only rely on one knife and one gun to win his position in Jingzhou.

However, the turning point came when Liu Biao rode into Jingzhou.

In order to quickly secure this "Jingzhou Shepherd", Liu Biao cooperated with the four major families of Jingzhou, Cai, Kuai, Huang, and Pang... Huang Zu, the patriarch of the "ancestral family" of the Huang family, became the prefect of Jiangxia, commanding the Jiangxia Huang family's navy.

One person attained the Tao and ascended to heaven... As a member of the Huang family, Huang Zhong was extremely brave, so he was promoted to General Zhonglang, commanding 5000 people.

This is the starting point of Huang Zhong's story, and also the starting point of the story of his growth into a "sharp shooter".

The following story is that Huang Zu led the Jiangxia navy to behead Sun Jian and made a great contribution. The energy of the Huang family among the families in Jingzhou exploded, and it was close to the status of the Cai family and the Kuai family.

Huang Chengyan, a famous member of the Huang family, also became Liu Biao's brother-in-law.

Huang Zhong, who was a fierce general of the Huang family, was sent to Changsha to invade Soochow. The opponent was the vassal of Soochow, the famous Taishici.

Tai Shici once took refuge in Youzhou and learned the skills of riding and archery that the people of Youzhou, Bingzhou and Liangzhou were good at.

Huang Zhong and Tai Shici fought fiercely for years. During the fight, Huang Zhong also learned Tai Shici's riding and archery skills.

In addition, Huang Zhong outperformed Tai Shici in several battles...

At that time, there were already rumors in Jingnan that Huang Zhong's archery skills surpassed Tai Shici's and became the number one marksman in the Han Dynasty.

Originally...Huang Zhong, and even the Huang family, should have continued to be brilliant, but the turning point happened at the beginning of the 13th year of Jian'an, when Huang Zu, the patriarch of the Huang family, died in battle.

What Huang Zhong didn't know was.

It seems that Huang Zu died at the hands of Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, but in fact it was because of clan disputes within Jingzhou.

The eldest son Liu Qi was always supported by the Huang family, while the younger son Liu Cong was supported by Kuai and Cai.

That is to say, since Huang Zu's death in battle, the Huang family began to decline rapidly, and Huang Zhong also began to be unused and became a victim of clan struggles... Despite the reputation of being a powerful Jingnan, he was parachuted into Changsha by an immediate boss——Han Xuan!
As soon as this immediate boss took office, all his military power was "confiscated"!
It was also at this time that the frustrated Huang Zhong took his son Huang Xu, and the two left Changsha and went to Miannan to discuss with Huang Chengyan... Want to talk about the current chaotic situation in Jingzhou after Huang Zu's death, what should the Huang family do?
At the same time, with the proficiency in archery, Huang Zhong became more and more aware that the 150-step range of the bow in his hand was completely unable to exert his archery skills, and even restricted his performance.

Huang Zhong wanted to ask Huang Chengyan, the descendant of the Mohism's mechanism art in the same clan... for a "strong bow" that could shoot farther, so as to further display his archery skills!
After that, Huang Zhong and his son went to Miannan as they wished, and also met Huang Chengyan, a well-known member of the Huang family.

Huang Zhong asked the first question, what should the Huang family do?
Huang Chengyan told Huang Zhong that the Huang family hadn't lost yet, and his son-in-law Zhuge Liang was still supporting the eldest son, and he also got Liu Bei's help. Huang Zhongxing was expected to let Huang Zhong go to Jiangxia to command Huang Zu's Jiangxia Huang family water army for Liu Qi, and hold the military power in his own hands.

Afterwards, Huang Zhong asked a second question...

That shoots arrows farther...

This... Huang Chengyan is helpless.

150 steps is already the limit of crossbows in this era. Not to mention Huang Chengyan, even anyone in this era cannot design a crossbow beyond this distance.

Of course, this is just a small episode.

Huang Zhong's trip was worthwhile...he took his son back.

But the sky didn’t work out, and before arriving in Jiangxia, Huang Zhong’s son suddenly had a high fever in a forest, so Huang Zhong went to fetch water to cool down his son.

Unexpectedly, he heard the roar of the tiger in the forest, and when he ran back, he found a fierce tiger holding his son under its claws...

Huang Xu is the son of Huang Zhong, who was unable to practice martial arts since he was a child because of his infirmity. He was only thirteen or fourteen years old at the time, and he had a high fever...Where is the opponent of the fierce tiger?
But at this time, Huang Zhong was two hundred steps away from the tiger, and he had no time to save his son!

At that time, Huang Zhong calmed down, bent his bow and set an arrow, but the first arrow shot... was the limit of 150 steps, but it couldn't hit the tiger.

The second arrow took advantage of the wind, and Huang Zhong shot a distance of 180 steps, which was still close to the tiger...

But at this moment, the tiger had already bit off Huang Xu's neck, and when Huang Zhong rushed up... the third arrow just hit the tiger's ass, and the tiger fled in a panic.

But when Huang Zhong rushed to his son again, where was he still alive?

Huang Zhong was distraught...

He looked at the arrow that fell not far away, only twenty steps away from his son, he was in great pain and annoyed!
He surpassed Tai Shici to become the best marksman in the world.

But even so, he still failed to save his son!
He was even thinking, if... if Huang Chengyan of Miannan's clan could make a bow and arrow that was more than two hundred paces away, he...he would never lose his son again!
From then on, Huang Zhong was heartbroken and no longer interested in the clan disputes of the Huang family.

He did not go to Jiangxia to seek refuge with the eldest son Liu Qi, but returned to Changsha with his son's body in his arms, and buried his son.

Then... stay in Changsha all the time!at the grave of his son.

I don't even have the idea of ​​competing with Han Xuan for military power anymore, and I just pass by every day, like a walking dead...

After losing his son, he was already disheartened...

Twenty steps!
It was this bow and arrow that was shot, and the difference of twenty steps made Jiangxia Huang's navy lose a commander who could succeed Huang Zu and lead them to glory.

It was these twenty steps that allowed Jiang Xia's Huang family navy to directly transition from Liu Qi's hands to Guan Yu's hands, becoming the predecessor of today's Guan family army!
It was these twenty steps that led to Huang Zhong, who was originally a general of Zhonglang, because he followed Han Xuan and led Changsha to surrender to Cao Cao, and was named a general by Cao Cao...

Only then did there come a story that has been sung for thousands of years-Guan Gong fought in Changsha!

Twenty steps...

These "twenty steps" are the only thing Huang Zhong hates these years. These twenty steps completely ruined him and his son!
And because of that...

At this moment, when he heard what Zhang Xingcai told about the Mianshui Villa and the "strength crossbow" in front of him, their range could exceed [-] or [-] steps, Huang Zhong inevitably recalled this unbearable story.

This is why Huang Zhong pays special attention to... the range of these crossbow bolts.

"This crossbow can be shot from a distance, but it needs to be shot with the waist and legs. If the crossbow array is good, it will be difficult for one person to use this crossbow alone. It is also difficult to hit more than 3 Pound's soldiers before. It is because of a surprise victory that the flexibility is still not good, not good."

As a sharpshooter, Huang Zhong was commenting on these crossbows, "There are also these eight-ox crossbows. The target is too big. I really met a strong opponent. I was rushed by a team of cavalry before I was able to shoot the crossbows..."

Speaking of this, Huang Zhong lit up his bow, "According to me, the bow is better, flexible, and can be used for riding and shooting... The only fly in the ointment is that the shooting range is too short. If it can be doubled, then the old man only needs one bow to hit the faces of Cao Ren and Pound!"

Huang Zhong's words are a little too full...

If someone else said that, they would definitely be considered crazy, but if it was Huang Zhong, that would be another story.

Jingnan...,

No, the name of the No. [-] sharpshooter in the big man is still convincing enough.

Unexpectedly, Huang Zhong just blurted out these words.

A vigorous and powerful voice came from behind him.

"Han Sheng, are you the one who said this? A bow that can shoot [-] paces is enough for you to hit the faces of Cao Ren and Pound?"

Following the voice, Huang Zhong, Huang Yueying, Zhang Xingcai, and Xia Houjuan all turned their heads...to look for their reputation.

But I saw an old man wearing a leather jacket and a flagon on his waist, who looked like a romantic hermit walking out of a workshop. It was Huang Chengyan.

As if...he just heard Huang Zhong's words, so he also used these words to provoke him.

Speaking of which, after Huang Zu's death...the two hadn't seen each other for ten years...Now it seems that Huang Chengyan is old, and Huang Zhong is also old...

But inexplicably, both of them seemed to have light in their eyes, and both of them had something to look forward to.

"Old man Rong (Huang Chengyan's name)..." Huang Zhong shouted, as if because of his son, he had all kinds of words and sorrows in his heart, but he still pondered for a long time, and buried everything back again. He just uttered four words: "Long time no see."

On the other hand, when Huang Yueying saw her father, she quickly exclaimed, "Father, I've been looking for you for a long time!"

Unexpectedly, facing his daughter's cry, Huang Chengyan turned his head and made a cold portrait. He stroked his beard, and his tone was a little low, with a bit of resentment that only a daughter's family had: "I'm fine here, don't look for me, you should look for your husband!"

These words have a somewhat sour taste.

It seems that the old man Huang Chengyan is still jealous of his son-in-law?
Yes…

That brat Zhuge Liang abducted his daughter, and Huang Chengyan was left as an "empty nest old man". If it wasn't for that brat Guan Lin, he wouldn't know how lonely he was!
...

...

In Shuzhong, Dangqu, in a study.

At a table, Liu Bei and Wang Ping sit on both sides...

Surprised by Liu Bei's courage and trust in him, Wang Ping came here without a single follower.

The two had been chatting for a while, and the topic they talked about naturally couldn't avoid the Jianren tribe.

At this moment, Liu Bei was talking eloquently, "General Wang, you are brave and loyal. Whether you are with Cao Wei or by my side, you will be entrusted with important responsibilities, but have you thought about your clansmen?"

"You go to Guanzhong in the future, how do you live in the Qinling Mountains for hundreds of miles? What about the different living habits there? How about medical treatment on the way? What if there are women, children and the elderly who get sick and no doctor? What if you are hated by the people in Guanzhong? What if you are bullied because of insufficient cultivated land?"

"Don't you want to stay here in Dangqu? This is your tribe, it's your home! Here, you have clothes to wear? You don't need to go hungry? Also, here...the children of your soldiers will stay here for generations and build this place...I will help you build this place too! If you want your children to go out, I will build an official school for you, so that your children can learn Chinese books. If you don't want to go out, I will build a medical office for you, and let the Han Chinese medical office help you."

"In my opinion, whether you move out or stay, these should not be decided by me, Liu Bei or Cao Cao, but by you... No matter what you choose, I don't want your tribe to be torn apart because of the war between the big man and the traitor Cao Cao... I don't even want your clansmen to kill each other on the battlefield. Relatives will suffer, enemies will be happy!"

Liu Bei's words were very calm, but in the calmness, what was revealed in every word and sentence was what the Xiren tribe needed most.

Is it because of choosing Cao Cao or Liu Bei that the tribe will fall apart!

It was precisely these words that made Wang Ping bow his head deeply.

Let him realize how naive he was when he took a small number of people to join Cao Cao and even helped Cao Cao relocate the people, and how much harm did he do to the tribe?
Liu Bei's words continued, "Although Bei is not talented, he has the ambition to rule the world, the desire to expand the territory, the ability to destroy Cao Xinghan, the righteousness to love his subordinates, the virtue of loyalty to the emperor, the benevolence of loving the people like a son, and the talent for internal governance in foreign wars!"

"Just imagine, when you and your tribe belong to me and help the Han, then...will the imperial court be stingy with rewarding you for your indelible feats? Will the imperial court not give General Wang the title of general, and the clansmen like General Wang will also receive the greatest preferential treatment!"

"Take ten thousand steps back... When they are disarmed and returned to the fields, they can tell their children that they were members of the rejuvenation of the Han family who expelled the Cao bandits. Their feats and reputation resounded throughout the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty. Everyone who mentions them gives a thumbs up! They can proudly say that their leader is your General Wang Ping. !"

Deafening, exciting...

Liu Bei can not only cry, but also build faith.

He knew...he Liu Bei grew up from a young age to a big one, from a weak one to a strong one. He has experienced so many hardships and ups and downs along the way, but so many brothers never give up. It is not his charm, but what he has established - faith!
Liu Bei's soldiers, Liu Bei's generals, never lack faith!
