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

Chapter 372 Jiangdong weak woman, born under the elbow and armpit

At night, a cold moon hangs high in the sky.

Several maids stood in the courtyard of the boudoir, standing still.

In the deep and quiet courtyard, a small window slowly opened, revealing a beautiful face, a pair of beautiful eyes looking at the sky, that is the direction of Soochow, and also the direction of home.

Standing in the window is Sun Shangxiang...

The boudoirs of other women’s homes are all pink, with piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, embroidery, and rouge, but Sun Shangxiang’s house has all kinds of axes, axes, hooks and forks, swords and bows everywhere...

All kinds of swords, all kinds of bows.

——Sword Fairy, Gong Yao Ji.

This is Sun Shangxiang's name in Soochow.

This girl who married 19-year-old Liu Bei at the age of 48 has transformed into a 25-year-old young woman. Such a young woman should have ushered in the most attractive and hopeful time in her life.

On the other hand, Liu Bei, six years later, he is even older, even in Sun Shangxiang's memory, Liu Bei has not entered her boudoir for three years.

Even if Liu Bei never cut Sun Shangxiang's expenses, her status is extremely high in the entire Shu County... But at night, Liu Bei might spend much more time with Fazheng than Sun Shangxiang.

People say, is it because of Sun Shangxiang's female guards with swords?

But Sun Shangxiang thought it was a joke.

If it is said, a hero who has been admired by everyone all his life will be terrified by some female guards holding swords.

Even... so frightened that he didn't dare to show his true colors in front of her.

Such a man...

How can we capture Sun Shangxiang, a young woman like this?

"Li Qingxiao—"

At this moment, Sun Shangxiang looked at the sky and muttered the name...

When she received the red bag during the day, Sun Shangxiang was amazed by the contents. Originally, "Li Qingxiao" was just a "Maiden of the Eastern Wu Dynasty" she had inserted into Li Yan's mansion. It was a surprise that she was successfully adopted by Li Yan as an adopted daughter. , I never thought that Liu Chan would like it.

Undoubtedly, this added another crucial element to Sun Shangxiang's and Soochow's plan.

At this moment, Sun Shangxiang's pupils narrowed faintly, almost narrowed into a slit. The originally dignified and beautiful eyes, like stars, are now a little more bewitching, and a trace of loneliness appears on the smooth face. start.

"It's not in vain for the decision I made two years ago..."

At this moment, Sun Shangxiang, her thoughts crossed the mountains of Bashu, the Han River, the Xiangshui River...stayed in the picture of when she was in the city of "Mrs. Sun" two years ago.

Even after two years, on the Qiaoxiao Yanxi's pretty face, there are still many expectations and imaginations in the long and narrow eyes of water Yinyin, that is really a very special memory.

That was two years ago, because Sun Shangxiang was domineering and savage, more than a hundred maids with swords stood inside and outside the boudoir, and Liu Bei didn't like it.

Her subordinates repeatedly violated the law and discipline, so reluctantly, Liu Bei built a new city near Gong'an City, and named it - Madam Sun City!
In name, a city was built for Sun Shangxiang.

But in fact, who doesn't know, it's just that Liu Bei doesn't like Sun Shangxiang and wants to keep a distance from her.

But it is an expedient measure to avoid the rupture of the Sun Liu alliance!

Later, Liu Bei entered Shu at the invitation of Liu Zhang, and Sun Shangxiang also had his own plans.

At that time, Sun Shangxiang received two letters from Soochow.

One was written by Zhu Ran, her childhood sweetheart, with sincere words, hoping that she would return to Soochow, and mentioning... Zhu Ran would always be waiting for her.

The other letter was sent by Sun Shangxiang's second brother, Sun Quan, which also mentioned that he was asked to return to Soochow in the name of "visiting relatives", but he had to bring Liu Chan there.

——Exchange Jingzhou with Liu Chan.

Sun Shangxiang originally intended to follow his brother's plan, and went back to Soochow to visit relatives on the pretext of his mother's serious illness, and then brought Liu Chan back. So far, he has been separated from Liu Bei, and has no contact with each other, but he can continue with his childhood sweetheart Zhu Ran. edge.

This is already the best arrangement...

But at this moment, Sun Shangxiang heard something in "Mrs. Sun City".

It was discussed by several teachers while drinking tea at a tea stand when they passed by Mrs. Sun City.

It is said that Liu Bei's son A Dou is not qualified, Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying have been husband and wife for more than ten years but have no children. Frail and sickly, unable to write or martial arts...

It seems that these teachers are from Jiangling City, and what they say reveals that Liu Huangshu's "incompleteness" is a huge hidden danger!

Yes!

After such a group of "second generations" grow up, how can they take on the hope of conquering the Central Plains and revitalizing the Han Dynasty?

It was this incident that made Sun Shangxiang realize.

Brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang are no longer young, and Zhuge Liang has no descendants, but she, Sun Shangxiang, is still young, so even if she is devoted to Wu, she can also use her own method, using the plan she and her second brother Sun Quan made at the beginning. Control Shu Han.

So, Sun Shangxiang picked up the two letterheads, first he shook his head at Sun Quan's letter, and then looked at Zhu Ran's letter.

"Yifeng, I'm sorry... The children of the Sun family would rather die on the battlefield than die in the hotbed—"

Following this sentence, Sun Shangxiang resolutely wrote back to his second brother, Sun Quan, "The plan remains unchanged, and my sister will continue to spread her maids around the important officials under Liu Bei's command. One thinks that Soochow is the eye, and the other treats Liu, Guan, and Zhang for a hundred years." Afterwards, my younger sister should control the court here! Introduce it as the arm of Soochow!"

As the daughter of "Jiangdong Tiger" Sun Jian;

As the younger sister of "Jiangdong Little Overlord" Sun Ce, Sun Shangxiang has her own "personality" and "persistence" in her bones...

Her obsession with Soochow is too deep, and it is precisely because of this that she chose to give up "returning to Wu". This opportunity to "breed" with Yifeng's brother day and night, she chose to "go to Shu" and devote herself to her own life. her battlefield.

Recalling this past event again, Sun Shangxiang's mood and state of mind cannot be improved...

The upturned nose, the eyebrows curved like the moon, were trembling slightly against the night wind at this moment.

Finally, she regained her composure and ordered the maid to fetch pen and ink and write on the letterhead.

——"Brother Yifeng, Shangxiang misses you..."

After writing only these eight characters, Sun Shangxiang shook her head violently. She realized that she made a mistake.

She tore off the cloth, put the eight words "lovely" on the candle and lit it...

At this time, Sun Shangxiang no longer had tenderness in his eyes, but became resolute and strong.

She pursed her lips and wrote another letter.

——"Second brother, more than twenty Jiangdong maids have all entered the mansion of the high-ranking official in Shu County to be the younger sister's eyeliner, and one of them is even in love with Liu Adou. Don't worry, the second brother is in charge of the court plan here, and everything will go well!"

After writing this letter, Sun Shangxiang carefully wrapped it up and handed it to her confidant maid.

At the same time, I did not forget to tell the maid, "Pass in my wife's order. Li Yan's adopted daughter, Li Qingxiao, is well educated and sensible, and is very popular with the eldest son. Tomorrow, you will go to Li's mansion and tell General Li that my wife wants to call Li Qingxiao into the Zuo General's mansion to accompany her." Around the eldest son, dress the eldest son for living... I hope General Li will cut his love—"

Following Sun Shangxiang's instructions.

A group of maids holding swords cupped their hands one after another: "Yes..."

The tone is crisp, but extremely neat, as if... These maids who Liu Bei is quite afraid of, worrying about "changing under the elbow and armpit", they are all well-trained.

Looking at the entire battlefield of the Three Kingdoms, there is a strange phenomenon in Soochow.

That is, many generals and governors will die suddenly "natural death", or "natural death"!
This is about to mention an interesting story about the "handmaid".

A maid "by chance" entered the general or the governor's mansion. She is no different from ordinary maids, hardworking and loyal.

For several years, or even more than ten years, the general has never been suspicious.

As a result, one day suddenly, the maid received a secret order.

——she was activated!

Then within a few days, the general was "died of natural causes";

Or after a while, the general "died of natural illness"!

The maids of other people's families want money from the master's family, but the maids of Soochow want the master's life if they don't keep it all!
Xu Kun, Tai Shici, Zhou Yu, Sun Yi...

Presumably, if they are alive, they must have something to say——

...

...

In Jingzhou, in front of the official office in Xiangyang City, capable guards stood sternly. Seeing Guan Lin walking quickly, they knelt on one knee one by one, moving neatly, but didn't say a word.

Guan Lin's sloppy smile gradually faded here, and his expression became sharp and solemn. He strode into the door and took a seat in the hall.

The guard at the gate, Mi Lu, announced loudly: "Zu Shi!"

Several soldiers waiting in line outside the door were all in uniform red uniforms, and each came in with a plate of bamboo slips, and they placed the bamboo slips one by one on Guan Lin's desk.

A handyman held a water cup, Guan Lin took a sip and asked casually.

"Is my father's injury healed?"

Zhuge Ke on the side stepped forward and replied: "The second general's left arm has fully healed, and he has resumed martial arts every day..."

"It doesn't hurt if it rains on a cloudy day, right?"

Guan Lin added a question.

He knew that Guan Yu, the old man in history, recovered his left arm after being shot by an arrow, but it would be painful when it was cloudy or rainy, so he had bone scraping to treat poison.

This time, bone scraping is the first step to cure the poison... Guan Lin is not sure whether his father's shoulder injury will leave the root cause of the disease.

"The Second General's injury was treated by Dr. Zhongjing, and it was cloudy and rainy as usual."

Guan Lin raised his head suddenly and looked at Zhuge Ke.

Now, Lu Xun went to Jiaozhou;
Liao Hua and Hou Yin returned to Jiangxia;
Mi Yang assisted his father Mi Fang in building the city;

It has been more than ten days since Zhang Xingcai went back to Jiangling to see his mother Xia Houjuan. Apart from Shiwu, the guard around Guan Lin, Zhuge Ke was the only one who could discuss it.

Guan Lin picked up the water on the table and drank it all. He stopped chatting with Zhuge Ke in detail, his expression became serious... and chanted loudly:
"Play something!"

Immediately, a guard reported, "Prefect Mi Fang and Colonel Hao Zhao built new cities in Jiangling and Changsha respectively. The progress of the new cities has been completed more than halfway. Here are the blueprints for the current construction of the new cities."

As he said that, the guard placed a scroll on Guan Lin's table, which depicted the construction of Changsha and Jiangling new cities.

Guan Lin noticed that the framework of the entire new city had already been completed. If it hadn’t been for Hao Zhao’s design, which insisted on adding another city wall in addition to the walls of the old and new cities, the new city would have already been completed.

Of course, the gold and silver spent... is also an extremely terrifying figure.

More than [-] migrant workers, the piles of stones and wood...

The daily expenses are an extremely scary figure.

Seeing this, Guan Lin couldn't help looking at Shi Wu beside him... as if feeling emotional.

——"Fortunately, I met a 'big dog'!Without this "big dog", build a new city with wool! 』

In fact, according to the historical trajectory, after the Shibian family of Gou Dahu was annexed by Soochow, a lot of gold and silver were wasted in buying iron chains, and then the iron chains crossed the river to prevent the Wei and Jin Dynasties from going south.

Now... when it came to Guan Lin, the Shibian family's money was used to build a new city for Guan Lin to prevent Soochow's backstab.

From this point of view, one gift and one discount are very different...

Coupled with Sun Quan, he is by no means a reliable ally!
The Northern Expedition is important, preventing his backstab is even more important!
At this time, the No.2 guard reported back: "Reporting to the prefect, the news came from flying pigeons in the middle of Shu, General Zhang Fei won a great victory in Bameng Mountain...beheaded the enemy generals Xiahoude, Xiahoushang, and Yan Pu...recruited the enemy generals Wang Ping, Pu Hu, Du Wei... the entire Bacon tribe has surrendered to Uncle Liu Huang, and now they are all incorporated into the army of the three generals! Even the thief general Zhang Yun had his arm broken by the three generals. Now the three generals have subdued Sanba and captured Zitong, the soldiers are pointing straight at Hanzhong!"

Following the guard's report, Guan Lin was both surprised and delighted...

Surprisingly... Zhang Sanshu hangs up, the perspective is too much!

The good news is that not only Sanba was subdued, but Zitong was also taken down, and even the Bacon tribe was incorporated...

Guan Lin couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "As expected of my third uncle Zhang, even Zhang He broke his arm. In such a short period of time, he won consecutive battles, subdued Sanba, and captured Zitong. If we can go down to Hanzhong again, then the pressure on Jingzhou will drop sharply, but..."

Guan Lin shook his head slightly. He suddenly thought of the Bacon tribe. You know, this tribe...is the tribe that made the "Baizhu Crossbow" to shoot the white tiger during King Qin Zhaoxiang's time. Everyone in the tribe is a "magic archer"...

Let Uncle Zhang lead that... It's just too wasteful.

Such a tribe should be handed over to Huang Zhong, and then form a sniper team... Ah no, it's the magic shooting battalion!

Only in this way can they bring out their greatest strengths.

With this in mind, Guan Lin asked directly: "Is there any news about Mianshui Villa, General Huang Zhong, Mrs. Huang Yueying, and Mrs. Xiahou?"

At this time...

A guard who was in the queue stepped forward first and reported: "For more than ten days, Mr. Huang and Mr. Liu made seven versions of the 'compound bow' according to the drawing of the young master in Mianshui Villa. General Huang Zhong is trying it out. Now Still not reaching the ideal range, Mrs. Xiahou and Miss Xingcai are also among them..."

Speaking of this, the guard continued: "Mrs. Huang left for Xiangyang City yesterday at the invitation of the son, and I expect to arrive tomorrow..."

Following this report, Guan Lin nodded again.

Not to mention that Huang Yueying rushed to Xiangyang, this is related to Guan Lin's plan to "flood Fancheng" in July and August next year;
Just this compound bow... hasn't been made in more than ten days?
it's kinda...

For a while, Guan Lin thought he was naive?
He thought that this "Mongolian Composite Bow" would be made by Huang Chengyan and Liu Ye as easily as "Zhuge Liannu", "Ba Niu" and "Kui Zhangbow", but it turned out to be.

——"I still underestimated the difficulty of making the [-]-step-range 'Mongolian Compound Bow'!" 』

Yes…

In later generations, it takes two to three years to make a top-quality "Mongolian compound bow", and each step needs to be completed in a specific month and at a specific temperature.

It's okay to barely make it...

It's just that the power and range are far apart!
Of course, Guan Lin also underestimated the persistence of Huang Chengyan, Liu Ye and Huang Zhong.

Especially Huang Zhong, because of his son, he will be extremely obsessed with the shooting range even if it is only "twenty steps".

"continue--"

Guan Lin waved his hand and asked the guards to continue reporting.

As the "Prefect of Xiangyang", everything is very complicated, many things need to be handled by Guan Lin...

Of course, Guan Lin has given full power to his father Guan Yu in military affairs.

But even so, all kinds of government affairs are not easy.

It took a full morning to deal with one official business. After the last civil official reported the matter of Jingzhou's "spread into the mu", Guan Lin stretched his waist, feeling relieved...

But it was only then that Zhuge Ke opened his mouth.

He looked around... Guan Lin saw what he meant at once, "You all step back first, Zhuge Yuanxun stays—"

Following this voice, all the officials and guards in the main hall of the government office retreated.

During the whole time, only Guan Lin and Zhuge Ke were left.

Zhuge Ke was about to speak.

Guan Lin took the first step, "Let me guess, what Yuan Xun reported was Boyan's itinerary? Or did Hongyan make a breakthrough? Or..."

At the end, Guan Lin's eyes were fixed on Shouchun City on the map, and his hand also passed from Shouchun City to Soochow...

He took a deep breath, and then chanted: "Maybe it's about that Hua Tuo's female disciple Zhuo Rong... or about Zhang Liao, Zhang Wenyuan and Ling Tong Ling Gongji?"

really…

When Guan Lin led the conversation to Zhuo Rong, Zhang Liao and Ling Tong, Zhuge Ke pursed his lower lip, his face became serious, and his tone was also meticulous.

"Bo Yan arrived in Jiaozhou three days ago. He has already taken a boat to go to Guziyang, Lingshan, Jiaozhou. As for...Zhuo Rong, Ling Tong and Zhang Liao..."

Zhuge Ke pondered for a while, then opened his mouth and said: "Their condition is not good... In more than ten days, Zhang Liao begged Cao Cao six times to let Cao Cao let go of Zhang Liao's savior, Zhuo Rong. Being imprisoned by Cao Cao, it is said to let him calm down, calm down, but in fact... it is to send the school office to investigate the connection between them!"

Speaking of this, Guan Lin interrupted: "Is this news from Sima Yi? Or Lingju?"

"All!" Zhuge Ke nodded, and continued, "As for...Ling Tong, his situation in Soochow is more dangerous than that of Cao Wei's Zhang Liao...for Zhuo Rong, he invited Ying to fight in Shouchun four times...but without exception Marquis Wu refused, and...before Marquis Wu said that he was protecting his people, but in fact he was imprisoning them, which caused Ling Tong and Marquis Wu to quarrel..."

At the end, Zhuge Ke's tone was full of loneliness.

"Yunqi, you should know that Ling Tong is so openly despising Sun Quan, what consequences will this cause?"
