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

Chapter 377 Can't Let My Son Fight Alone——

Guan Yu has been fighting in the Fancheng area for too long, and he is very familiar with the terrain here, and even every city here.

For example, Xiangyang City is made of masonry. This kind of city wall is too expensive to build, so it can only be built in an important military town.

Therefore, in the north of Xiangyang City, such as Fancheng, Pinglu City, Yancheng, and Xinye City, all have rammed earth walls.

Even Guan Lin's new "Changsha New City" and "Jiangling New City" are rammed earth walls.

However, know...

Even if it is a rammed earth wall, the technology has been formed in the Qin and Han Dynasties, and the ability to resist the impact of the city cart and the bombing of the trebuchet is extremely strong.

And what is this kind of rammed earth wall afraid of?
Guan Yu understood too well, what the rammed earth wall is afraid of is time and the Dragon Lord.

It's not that this kind of rammed earth wall will collapse as soon as it is washed by water or soaked in water, but if it is soaked for a long time, the wall will gradually disintegrate and collapse.

Quite simply, Fancheng, Pinglu City, Yancheng, and Xinye City are all old antiques.

Fancheng was built during the reign of King Xuan of Zhou in 800 BC.

Yancheng, also known as Yanyue City, is relatively recent, but Cao Cao hastily built it and used it as a corner with Fancheng. In terms of city defense, it is not as good as Fancheng.

Xinye City is from the early Western Han Dynasty, more than 400 years ago.

Pinglu City is a feudal city built by Zhong Shanfu around 800 BC, a thousand years ago.

This is why after three years of heavy rain for more than ten consecutive days and the surge of the Han River, Guan Yu keenly captured the opportunity to divert water to flood the city, making the story of "Flooding the Seventh Army"!

Among them, Guan Yu's keenness in catching fighters, but also these city walls really can't withstand the water attack!

Now, even if the time for "flooding the Seventh Army" is three years earlier.

But because of Guan Lin's reminder, Guan Yu has already thought about "draining water to fill the city".

This is a whole new way of thinking.

He has even begun to think that the purpose of the "Juebei Road" this time is not only to prevent Cao Jun from going south, to block the supply of Fancheng, but more importantly, to find out the geography there...

Occupy all favorable terrain, and then help his son Guan Lin launch a water attack and divert water for irrigation.

At this moment, after Guan Yu's passionate words, the military meeting of the Guan family army also ended.

Guan Yu walked out of the army tent, intending to go to Xiangyang City, and wanted to have a last look at Guan Lin, this stinky boy before the Juebei Road.

Unexpectedly, Guan Yinping chased after him and came to Guan Yu's side.

"father…"

Following Guan Yinping's opening, Guan Yu asked, "Yinping has something to say?"

Guan Yinping nodded, "Daughter wants to ask daddy, this time daddy's 'Juebeidao' is to help Yunqi, right?"

Well…

Suddenly being seen through by his daughter made Guan Yu's already tense mood even more tense, and he was still deliberately covering up his state of mind.

"Fourth brother is planning to use the Han River in July and August to flood the city with water to capture Fancheng, and to decide the outcome with Cao Ren..."

Before Guan Yinping could continue to speak, Guan Yu had already signaled her not to speak. Guan Yu exhaled deeply, and he finally let go of the unimportant majesty of being a father.

"My father is aware of Yunqi's plan, and I also believe that with Yunqi's ability, he will be able to divert water to flood the city, and make Cao Ren and the fifty thousand Cao army become ruined chickens..."

Speaking of this, Guan Yu paused for a moment, and his tone became a little more serious, "But it's only December, and there are still seven or eight months before Yunqi's plan. Soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent...for the father What can be done is to minimize this accident and make full preparations for Yunqi's water attack at any time, to complete all the prerequisites!"

Guan Yu said so on the lips, but the words in his heart were more tender.

——『My son has done so much for his father, for Jingzhou, and for the Han Dynasty?What should I do for you as a father? 』

——"I can't let my son fight alone! 』

Yes, in the past on the Juebei Road, Guan Yu didn't take Cao Jun seriously, and used a mere [-] Guan family troops to go deep into the enemy's rear in Fancheng to stop all invading enemies!
This is arrogant and arrogant.

But for Guan Yu now, everything he did was a foreshadowing.

In Guan Yu's view, it is impossible to...

But now, he can spare no effort to assist his son.

If this is a "big" credit, he is also willing to hand over all the credit to this son Yunqi!

Now, Guan Lin's position in Guan Yu's mind has become more important——

Just when Guan Yinping was talking with Guan Yu.

"General..." Zhou Cang also caught up with Guan Yu. He had received the latest information and hurriedly reported: "Mrs. Huang Yueying has arrived in Xiangyang City, and the Fourth Young Master is welcoming you at the city gate!"

Well…

Guan Yu's eyes froze slightly, he was convinced of Zhuge Liang.

Because Zhuge Liang...he would look up to Huang Yueying a few times.

In addition, Huang Yueying's reputation of mastering astronomy, knowing changes, and being good at ingenuity is also widely spread throughout Jingzhou...

For a while, Guan Yu was looking forward to the sparks from the collision and friction between his son Guan Lin and Huang Yueying!
"Okay." Guan Yu just agreed, then turned around and walked away slowly.

The plan to go to Xiangyang City to meet his son was temporarily shelved.

He directly stepped into his military tent, and even his gait was no longer the dragon's and tiger's pace of the past, and he became much more restrained. Today's Guan Yu is far from being as domineering as before.

When entering the military tent, there were two books placed by Guan Yu's bedside.

One is a brand new "Chunqiu Zuo's Biography", which has already accumulated some dust;

One is "Sun Tzu's Art of War"... The book has been turned and damaged.

Guan Yu habitually fetched "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and opened a chapter, but couldn't help but think of Guan Lin's words, and before reading it at night by Bingzhu, he chanted a sentence with a smile.

"My son said that the greater the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish—"

After blurting out a word, his eyes couldn't help but look towards the side of Hanshui.

Different from the past, a new battlefield is about to open——

In previous wars, Guan Yu relied on his own bravery.

But now to fight, he relies on his own bravery and his son's wisdom.

The so-called brothers fighting tigers, father and son soldiers in battle!

...

...

At the head of Xiangyang City, countless torches illuminate the dark night like day.

Guan Lin and Huang Yueying climbed to the top of the wall, Huang Yueying was still wearing a veil, covering her entire cheeks tightly.

On the contrary, her eyes suddenly had a few more complex gazes, and what she gazed at was the location of "Huangjiawan" between Xiangfan and Huang Yueying's hometown where she had lived for 20 years!

Now it looks pitch black, with no lights, as if... no one has lived in it for a long time, and it has been dilapidated.

Huang Yueying exhaled softly, feeling a little sentimental, and she didn't like small talk, so she went straight to the point to Guan Lin: "Xiangfan is separated by a river, if the navy is enough to capture Fancheng, why bother to ask me for astronomy, geography, and water conservancy?" How about diverting the Han River to flood Fancheng?"

This question made Guan Lin ponder for a while, and he pointed to Fancheng and explained truthfully: "One is that it is the dry season now, and the water level is too shallow for warships to sail on the Han River. There are [-] Cao troops hidden! There are many famous generals including Cao Ren, Xu Huang, Yu Jin, and Pang De hidden..."

Speaking of this, Guan Lin paused for a moment, and pondered: "If you attack by force, you will hurt the enemy by one thousand, and you will hurt yourself by eight hundred... It seems that such a loss can be accepted as long as Fancheng is captured. But I have this shortcoming, see No needless casualties and losses for the soldiers... If casualties can be avoided, even if it takes seven or eight months, I am willing to wait until the flood season!"

Guan Lin is not compassionate, but has personally experienced in this era, experienced the battlefield, he will know how miserable the soldiers of this era are.

It's not just talking if one general succeeds and ten thousand bones dry up.

Take the time when the Guan family army was defeated.

If there is no Chen mustard stew, even a small "tetanus" can kill a large number of soldiers. These are all fresh lives, and more importantly, Guan Lin's soldiers.

What's more, Guan Lin clearly knew that three years later, there would be a rainy weather that lasted for more than ten days, and it could flood the Seventh Army and win a complete victory!
Guan Lin only needs to follow the cat and paint the tiger, as long as he can meet several conditions for diverting water to flood Fancheng this year, he can avoid huge casualties and win without bloodshed.

Therefore, Guan Lin really didn't think about attacking by force.

Listening to Guan Lin's words, and seeing the change of expression on Guan Lin's cheeks, Huang Yueying said with emotion: "Unexpectedly, you are different from those generals, and you are still a compassionate person, but... you asked me about the climate forecast of Xiangfan..."

Speaking of this, Huang Yueying shook her head and chanted softly, "Human beings are divided into judgments, and yin and yang are listed first. Those who are light and clear are heaven, and their essence is yang; those that are heavy and turbid and condensed are earth, and their essence is yin... everything in the world intersects." , yin and yang move, change and develop, endless, there is no the same weather, nor the same location and people...Based on this, you let me predict the weather in July and August next year today? How can I calculate it accurately? ?”

This…

Following Huang Yueying's words, Guan Lin suddenly realized that he was too young and innocent.

Thinking about it, disaster weather... the weather forecast of future generations may not be accurate, let alone Huang Yueying in this era, Guan Lin thought... It seems that his expectations are a bit too high.

Things like the weather can't be predicted at all!

Just want to change the way to not ask about the rainstorm, but ask how to dig the Hanshui?Where to build a reservoir?How to divert water for back irrigation?

This is equivalent to changing an astrometeorological problem into a physics problem.

never thought...

Huang Yueying's voice came out again: "Although it is impossible to predict, but... there are still some rules to follow."

This…

Guan Lin's eyes widened suddenly.

"law?"

"That's right." Huang Yueying nodded, and she pointed to Huang Jiawan, "I lived there since I was a child, and I like to record all kinds of things, including annual rainstorms, currents, and weather... I found that every three years, Xiangfan There will be a rainstorm that lasts for several days in the Han River, and the rainstorm will cause the Han River to skyrocket...so every three years, the Han River will flood Huangjiawan, and my father and I need to go out to take refuge, so I remember it very clearly As for how long it takes, within ten years, there must be a disaster in the Hanshui River between Xiang and Fan, which is recorded in this local annals."

three years?

ten years?

Guan Lin recalled, according to his visits and inquiries during this period.

In 18, that is, the [-]th year of Jian'an, there was a heavy rain in Xiangfan, which almost destroyed the Pinglu City on the west side of Fancheng, and the whole Xiangyang received a huge threat.

According to the description of the sergeant of the Guan family army, his father Guan Yu originally wanted to take advantage of the flood to attack Xiangfan, but that year his uncle Liu Bei broke with Liu Zhang, and the pressure on the western front was huge, so he did not take advantage of the situation to make the Northern Expedition.

Many sergeants of the Guan family army should have proved this.

Then three years later, that is, the 24th year of Jian'an, that is the year in history when the father flooded the Seventh Army. If... it is inferred from this, the "law" proposed by Huang Yueying has traces to follow, and it seems a bit Reliable!

Immediately, Guan Lin's eyes lit up.

Even, he is already thinking about how to use this "law of nature", and then cooperate with digging the dam to divert the Han River to pour back...

If this is the case, then... the more Cao Jun has, the worse the defeat will be.

The most ideal situation is that Guan Lin finds a way to attract all Cao Jun, and then hundreds of thousands of troops, a backwash...all are submerged here, becoming fish and shrimp in the water!
This is - cut off Cao Cao's roots!

Once and for all!
Sure enough, Huang Yueying's words continued, "According to the law in my memory, there is a big flood every three years here in Xiangfan, and a disaster every ten years. If you want to use the heavy rain in Yunqi, then maybe you can use it during the flood season next year, but If the plan is to use disasters caused by heavy rains, that may not be enough..."

Huang Yueying blinked her eyes, "So..."

Without waiting for Huang Yueying to continue, Guan Lin surrendered first, making a persuasive and thirsty look, "Mrs. Huang is very familiar with the Xiangfan waterways here... where to dig ditches to divert the Han River, where to build dams to store water in advance, etc... I still need Madam Huang's advice."

this…

A well-mannered young man bowed and saluted under the moonlight. This well-educated appearance and the atmosphere under the moonlight set off Huang Yueying's wanton daydream.

She was thinking, if... If she and Kong Ming had a son, it would be this age, right?
With this in mind, Huang Yueying said with a smile: "You don't need to salute me, since I'm here, I will help you draw out the entire drawing... just..."

It seems that Huang Yueying has other requirements.

Guan Lin interjected directly: "Your younger generation understands that this diversion of water is just for the sake of winning, not to hurt innocent people. After capturing Fancheng, we must first help the people to avoid the loss of life."

Huang Yueying lived in Huangjiawan since she was a child, and she has feelings for the people around her...

She also couldn't bear to cause people to die because of her.

"The battlefield is ruthless, after all someone has to take this ruthless step, but if you think so, I'm relieved..."

Speaking of which, the plan to divert water to flood Fancheng is finalized.

Huang Yueying originally wanted to ask about the "Mianshui Villa", the "workshop", and the series of strange inventions, especially the "compound bow" that her uncle Huang Zhong had been trying.

He even wanted to ask his father Huang Chengyan's body through Guan Lin, and ask about his recent state.

Huang Yueying couldn't ask Huang Chengyan about this at all. As soon as Huang Chengyan asked Huang Chengyan, she began to complain, saying that "the daughters are raised by outsiders" and what "the daughters are married, and the water is thrown out!"

It's almost like an old father who is very nagging after seeing his daughter.

It was Guan Lin who spoke first: "Actually, this junior has something else to do today..."

Huang Yueying deliberately gave Guan Lin a blank look, and said jokingly: "You boy, I just came here, and you brought up two things..."

"The latter matter is not about the younger generation, but..." Guan Lin waved to the soldiers beside him, "Zhuge Yuanxun, what are you waiting for? Why don't you come to see your mother?"

Just as Guan Lin's voice fell...

I saw a Mr. Pianpian walking quickly, he lowered his head, he seemed a little shy.

When he walked to Huang Yueying's side.

With a "click", he knelt down directly, "my son Zhuge Ke pays his respects to his mother—"

At this moment, Huang Yueying realized that this... I'm afraid it's Zhuge Ke, the son Zhuge Ke who was adopted by her elder brother Zhuge Jin to her husband.

It seems that he is a bit older in age, but he is very handsome, polite, and has an extraordinary bearing...

On the whole, Huang Yueying was satisfied.

"You are Yuan Xun, you are... Ke'er?"

With this sound, under the moonlight...

Zhuge Ke finally met this legendary "mother";
Huang Yueying finally had a son for the first time!
The moon this night was extraordinarily round, and the word "reunion" seemed to be written on it!
...

...

Yecheng, the palace.

Xiahoudun's son, Xiahoumao, came striding aggressively with a group of excited generals.

Xia Houmao took the lead and knelt down heavily on his knees, crying out in pain, "Father, General Han Hao is dead, he died at the hands of Zhang Fei, father, my son please fight, you can go to Bashu or Jingzhou , the boy is going to avenge Han Hao!"

Xiahou Dun was half-sitting on the bed, coughing continuously...

Han Hao is the lieutenant general whom Xiahou Dun single-handedly promoted. He is from Hanoi County.

In the past, Xiahou Dun counterattacked Puyang and was captured by the assassin sent by Lu Bu. When everyone panicked, only Han Hao shouted, "Will I let you do whatever you want because of a great general?"

One sentence frightened the thief...and also allowed Xiahou Dun to escape.

In the time of famine and lack of food, Han Hao was in a hurry to save the famine and went to the farm!
After the Northern Expedition to the Yuan family and the four prefectures in the north, Han Hao was appointed to be in charge of the Forbidden Army together with Shi Huan. He was the most trusted person of Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun.

You know, before Xiahoudun went blind, Xiahoudun was in charge of the imperial army!

It is also because of this that Han Hao has a very high status in Cao Ying and is very popular. Now that he died at the hands of Zhang Fei, the generals have already quarreled and the crowd is so excited that Xiahou Dun's coughing sounds a little bit desolate.

——cough cough cough...

Xiahou Dun was also very sad. He tried to stand up, and his son Xiahou Zhuo came to beat his father's back in grief.

"After I became blind in one eye, I was in charge of farming, recruiting soldiers, and fighting for a long time... Yuansi's death, no one is more sad than me! But what else can I do?"

Xiahoudun had never won a war in his life, so he would not naively think that after becoming disabled, his combat power would develop by leaps and bounds.

His son Xia Houmao reminded: "Father, didn't the prime minister just send out an edict to recruit soldiers? Isn't this edict for father to be responsible..."

Xiahou Dun looked at his son suspiciously.

"what do you mean?"

"Aggravate!" Xia Houmao said fiercely, "The Shu army killed Han Hao, we need to make them pay back ten times!"

Got it, suddenly, Xiahou Dun understood everything.

He pondered for a while, and after a short thought, he opened his mouth and said: "Forget it, the conscription orders of the counties follow what the general said.

Within one month, if the counties that fail to recruit [-] soldiers, or the counties that fail to recruit [-] soldiers, not only will they be dismissed immediately, but they will also be demoted to white bodies. My Great Wei will never hire them! "

Just as he blurted out these words, Xia Houmao shook his head again and again.

"This won't work, father... we should change it to, if Wancheng can't recruit a thousand soldiers, not only will they be demoted to white bodies, but they will also be tortured and interrogated, the three clans of pearls and chains!"

This…

If according to what Xia Houmao said, if you dare to love others to be an official to make money, and they are officials on Cao Wei's side, it would be terrible——
