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

Chapter 410 He shot——

Guan Lin and Li Miao set some special numbers, corresponding to special tasks.

This is only in extraordinary times, when Li Miao and members of the beggar gang cannot meet, or when it is inconvenient to meet, the members of the beggar gang will write in some inconspicuous places where Li Miao will definitely pass by.

Corresponding numbers from one to nine.

They are "Dingbugou", "Show not small", "Wang does not stand", "Crime is not wrong", "I don't speak", "Crossing is not crossing", "Soap is not white", "Separation is not knife", "Kui is not the head", "A needle is not golden!"

Immediately after these words, lies in the first word...

For example, the word "Ding" in "Ding Bugou" is the top "one", and the word "Shi" in "showing no smallness" is the top "two";
"Sin" is the "four" above;
The "needle" is the "ten" on the right.

Corresponding numbers can be cut out from these "words", which is both concealed and can convey some information, similar to Morse code.

In order to prevent Li Miao from misremembering and remembering confusion, Guan Lin gave Li Miao the "Poetry Collection", through a special engraving, it is also possible to find the actions corresponding to the numbers.

On the contrary, Li Miao's memory is not bad, and he reflected it all at once.

At this moment, while looking at the number "[-]", he inserted the number with his foot.

For a moment, he recalled what he had discussed with Guan Lin when he was in Jiangling.

At that time, the two talked about the topic of "trust".

In Li Miao's understanding, to complete the task, he only needs to gain the trust of Cao Cao and Cao Zhi.

However, in Guan Lin's plan, he directly proposed a brand new idea, or a controversy...that is to gain the trust of "Xiahou Dun"...

In this way, it is equivalent to gaining the trust of the entire Cao Wei clan.

At that time, Guan Lin was telling Li Miao about Xiahou Dun's character in detail.

——Clean and honest.

Cao Cao gave Xiahou Dun a reward of over one million, but Xiahou Dun distributed all of it to the soldiers...

He is one of the few in the Cao Wei camp who is extremely human and does not own property.

In addition, he assisted Cao Cao in establishing the world, but he would rather succumb to the "General Fubo" canonized by Wei than the "General of the World's Soldiers and Horses" canonized by Han!
It can be seen from this that whether Xiahoudun has fought repeatedly and failed repeatedly, it doesn't matter whether he is brave or intrepid, but... what cannot be denied is that he is a person who is pure to the extreme, and his heart is dedicated to Wei Guo. nothing left.

It is precisely because of this that Guan Lin told Li Miao that he must find the right time and try his best to contact Xiahou Dun, and it is best to show him kindness and gain his trust.

This will be crucial to Li Miao's step-by-step grasp of power in Cao Wei and the step-by-step implementation of his plan to disintegrate Cao Wei.

As for the number "[-]", the corresponding action is... to approach Xiahou Dun and gain Xiahou Dun's trust!
There is another layer of meaning. When necessary, "[-]" will be a code that can protect him in special times.

Of course, Guan Lin didn't know that Xiahoudun was in Wancheng, he only thought that Xiahoudun's son Xiahoumao was here.

Guan Lin's original intention was to use Xia Houmao to make a fuss.

It doesn't matter if it's alive or dead, as long as Li Miao uses it well, even if he takes Xiahoumao's body back, he can win a lot of favor from Xiahoudun and his clan.

call…

When thinking of this, Li Miao let out a long breath, and suddenly felt the heavy responsibility on his body.

But soon, he restrained all his complicated emotions, and he finally exhaled deeply.

Being in the enemy's rear, he has long been able to maintain a calm state of mind when facing any situation——

When he walked out of the hut, it only took a brief moment for his eyes to change from sharp to gentle.

His walking was as usual, no different from the past.

However, his heart still murmured uncontrollably.

——"Nine five two seven, nine five two seven..."

——"Have you captured Xiahou Dun's trust?Just, how to capture it? 』

Li Miao didn't know Guan Lin's specific actions, and now he could only focus his energy and pay attention to the changes in the current situation all the time.

——"Since Mr. Yunqi mentioned this number, he will definitely... take action!certainly…"

...

...

cold!
As the night deepened, the temperature in the rattan basket under the hot air balloon also dropped sharply. Fortunately, there was a big fire above the head, which caused... the whole person was like a double sky of ice and fire.

While sweating, trembling from the wind...

Of course, there were quilts in the rattan basket this time, but the quilts couldn't hold up and were not wrapped tightly at all, and it was still ventilated everywhere.

"How long will it take to fly..."

Huang Zhong has gradually calmed down from the excitement when he flew into the sky. He rubbed his sleepy eyes, yawned and asked.

He had slept for a while, and had a dream that he was shoulder to shoulder with the sun, and the sun kept smiling at him like his son's cheek.

This feeling is very warm and cozy.

But being awakened by a sudden gust of wind, Huang Zhong's eyes went dark, the sun disappeared, and his son disappeared, and everything returned to reality. This inevitably made him feel depressed, so he simply opened his mouth to ask.

"It feels like it's already midnight after flying? Haven't you arrived at Wancheng yet?"

"Actually, I have already flown over Wancheng!"

Liu Ye's words directly startled everyone in the rattan basket, and Zhuge Ke was taken aback... He is young and can survive without sleeping. He has always been spying on the ground with a thousand miles.

It seems that he didn't notice that he flew over Wancheng!

"When did you fly over Wancheng?" Zhuge Ke asked quickly.

"Because it's in this air current..." Liu Ye said softly, "So we can't see the bottom clearly at all. Now our position is on Yangshan Mountain north of Wancheng."

As Liu Ye said, they are indeed above the sky above the head of "Mountain of Sheep".

Speaking of it, Jiujia Gushan, known as the back garden of Nanyang, stretches the history and culture of Wancheng... If it rises to mythology and legend, this is the stone bridge built by Zhang Guolao to test Luban, and Jiujia was transformed by throwing stones Gushan, it is these nine Gushan that gave birth to the famous Funiu Mountain.

As for the "Yangshan Mountain" mentioned by Liu Ye, it looks like a sheep, with lush forests and bamboos. There is a huge stone at the foot of the southwest mountain. According to legend, Guan Yu sharpened his knife here, and it was named "Guan Ye's Whetstone".

This is a landmark location——

only…

"Wait..." Huang Zhong knocked on his forehead. He had just woken up and was still a little dazed, "According to the plan, aren't we going to meet up with Yun Chang in Wancheng at Chenshi, and then shoot and kill the guard of Wancheng with one arrow? Then Why are you here at Yangshan?"

While talking, Huang Zhong unfolded the map, looking at the difference between the two locations.

His face was more and more confused and puzzled.

At this moment, the middle-aged elegant man with an orange turban hiding at the foot of the rattan basket opened his mouth, "Mr. Liu did this to give me away..."

Hmm... As soon as these words came out, the entire rattan basket Huang Yueying, Zhuge Ke, Huang Zhong, including Liu Ye... everyone looked at this middle-aged man in unison.

The man's words continued, "I just told General Huang that my name is Hou Yin. I am from the same town as General Huang, and both are from Nanyang! Now, I need to add a few more words. My name is Hou Yin. Quanshi was appointed by the imperial court to Wancheng, first as a county magistrate, then as a captain, and finally as the prefect of Wancheng, do the math...I have lived in Wancheng for 20 years!"

This…

Huang Zhong was shocked. After Hou Yin reminded him, Huang Zhong, who is from Nanyang, really remembered that there was indeed a number one person, the prefect of Wancheng... called Hou Yin.

This time, Hou Yin reported his family name and didn't say so much...Huang Zhong thought he was taciturn, or that Guan Lin had entrusted him with a new task, Huang Zhong didn't ask in detail, now...think about it...

Now they are in the territory of Wancheng, an old magistrate who has been an official in Wancheng for more than 20 years, his energy...is immeasurable.

"I remembered, you are indeed the prefect of Wancheng, but I had moved to Jingnan at that time... Otherwise, I would have recognized you."

Huang Zhong said while stroking his beard.

Hou Yin nodded, "When Guangwu was revived, there were 28 generals in Yuntai...Nanyang had eleven out of them. This is the territory of the rich and powerful families, but who would have thought...because of the chaos of war, even these powerful families could not be preserved, let alone ...The common people here are gone, I have been an official here for more than [-] years, and it has been more than [-] years that this place has become miserable, especially in recent years...Cao Wei..."

As if, at the end, Hou Yin suddenly stopped for some reason.

Among them, there are many unspeakable secrets hidden in him.

You know, in the records of Cao Wei's massacre of the city, Wancheng... also has a strong stroke!
It is true that Cao Ren's massacre of the city was because of Hou Yin's rebellion, but how could Cao Wei force against a Confucian general who had learned the way of a sage?
Nanyang is the most terrifying place where Cao Wei exploited land, food, and forced soldiers.

After pondering for a moment, Hou Yin waved his hand slightly, "Stop talking...you just need to know that no one knows Wancheng better than me, and no one understands the hardships and hardships of the people here, the people here...even the defenders. , Cao Wei Jiuyi is suffering, the only thing they lack is a trustworthy person who can lead them to raise their arms and shout!"

Hou Yin's tone was firm...

It was precisely these words that made everyone guess... Hou Yin's purpose for coming here.

There must be someone on this "Mountain of Sheep" who can help him sneak into the city, and then...cooperate from inside to outside.

"call…"

At this moment, Huang Zhong couldn't help but let out a long breath.

He originally thought that he was the absolute core and main force of this operation, but he never thought... Now it seems that the main force is someone else!
At this time, Zhuge Ke quickly asked: "Then how do you enter Wancheng?"

"Hahaha..." This question directly made Hou Yin laugh, "I have been here for more than 20 years, under the city tower, where is the blind spot? Where is the dog hole? Don't I know? Plus..."

Hou Yin's tone was quite confident, "I brought [-] Nanyang soldiers to surrender to Jingzhou, but it doesn't mean I only have [-] soldiers in Wancheng..."

Speaking of this, Hou Yin paused for a moment, raised his head, felt the hot air balloon that was slowly descending, and looked at the flat land surrounded by sheep and mountains.

His words came out again: "Since the first letter between Yunqi and me, I have made a plan to stay here with seven thousand confidants in Wancheng, just to wait for the day when I can attack from both inside and outside, so that this The recovery of Wan City will also save the people of this area, and the Li Shu of this area from the sea of ​​suffering!"

Hou Yin's tone was not heavy, even a little hoarse, but somehow his voice was heard in everyone's ears, it was deafening!
Speaking of which, Hou Yin was originally a small person;

He is a small figure who left only a fleeting light in history.

Such a character would not be remembered by others, but... still does not prevent such a person from emitting a brilliant light.

In the face of tyranny, if no one resists, then in this world, is there any hope for the thousands of common people?Then this world has become a worse world?
soon…

The hot air balloon descended.

The rattan basket did not touch the ground, and Hou Yin went down along the cable.

Before going down, Liu Ye did not forget to remind.

Only, because the target is big.

Obviously, it has attracted the attention of some people on the Yangshan side.

At first when the people here saw the hot air balloon, they thought it was some kind of natural disaster, so they hid far away behind the stone steps and observed secretly.

But when they saw someone slipping down from it, they dared to approach slowly.

After Hou Yin got off the ground, the hot air balloon began to prepare to rise again.

At this time, there was a sudden sound around the hot air balloon.

"Where did the thieves come from to play tricks here!"

For a time, countless torches were lit...

This made Huang Zhong and Zhuge Ke in the rattan basket nervous. The former held his longbow tightly, while the latter had already pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword.

Even though, as long as they wanted to, they could take off the hot air balloon at any time, and it was impossible for these people to catch up with them, but... just like Huang Zhong said, the five of them are comrades in this mission!

How can you abandon your comrades at such a time?
As the torches got closer and closer, Huang Zhong and Zhuge Ke were so nervous that their backs were sweating coldly.

Huang Zhong whispered to Zhuge Ke: "Get ready to attack...I'll stop them, you come to save people..."

His idea was to rescue Hou Yin back into the rattan basket first.

Never thought, right now.

"Brother Hou..."

Under a nearby torch, a crisp sound came out, followed by...

Under these torches, they all began to shout loudly, "It's really Brother Hou..."

"Brother Hou, you are finally back."

"During this time, brothers are worried about you!"

The whole scene changed suddenly, and so did the style of painting... From a thief to a big brother!
This also made the emotions of Huang Zhong, Zhuge Ke and others... from nervous to stunned.

--"this?what's going on? 』

——"My own people? 』

"I'm back, I'm back..." Hou Yin opened his mouth at this moment.

"Brother Hou, brothers miss you..."

"Brother Hou has arrived in Jingzhou, and the brothers are looking forward to the Jingzhou soldiers to send troops to fight day and night!"

"Brother Hou..."

One after another voices, each clank and strong man, but tears stained his gown because of reunion after a long absence.

The scene... was almost full of tears!
At this time... Hou Yin did not rush to answer the words of these brothers, but waved to Liu Ye, Huang Zhong and others, motioning for them to fly up.

And judging from this posture, it was Hou Yin who found his relatives.

After these brothers found the "organization", Liu Ye stopped staying and increased the fuel tank again, and the hot air balloon was already gesturing to take off into the sky.

However, before the final flight, Liu Ye did not forget to remind Hou Yin in a low voice.

"Brother Hou, don't forget Mr. Yunqi's explanation. If the person who can recite '[-]' on the battlefield in the daytime is one of our own, you must tell the brothers to help them!"

Hearing this, Hou Yin nodded solemnly.

While speaking, the hot air balloon has already flown high.

"Brother Hou? What is this big ball?"

"Why...how can you still fly?"

"Brother Hou, why did you fall from the sky? Did Brother Hou go to the sky?"

Faced with a series of questions, Hou Yin waved his hands, motioning them not to speak.

"Time is running out. I'll answer some questions on the way. Let me ask... Is the tunnel we have to enter Wancheng still available? Are all the brothers in Wancheng still there?"

"Stay...in..." These soldiers were almost in unison, and one of the most excited shouted directly, "Brothers have been waiting for this day! We finally survived those hard days!"

All of a sudden, Hou Yin's eyes appeared in front of him, ready to go, sharpening their knives, but extremely determined eyes.

...

This is bound to be a turbulent night.

In a blink of an eye, when the dawn was twilight, nearly ten thousand soldiers and horses under Guan Yu rushed to the city of Wancheng...

Guan Yu asked Zhou Cang beside him.

"What time is it?"

"It's only half an hour to Chenshi."

Following Zhou Cang's reply.

Guan Yu nodded and nodded. It was only half a quarter of an hour away from the agreed "Chen Shi". Under his calm expression, his heart began to become tense.

He couldn't help raising his head, he wanted to look for the shadow of the hot air balloon from the sky.

At this time, the hot air balloon can bring him a lot of security.

More actions that can bring Yunqi!
However, above the entire sky, the hot air balloon did not see it, but instead saw a group of Wei army soldiers and horses waiting in full battle on the tower.

It can be seen from a distance that there are many swords, guns, swords and halberds, and there are all kinds of swords, arrows and stones.

This is all prepared for the siege.

The most important thing is... Guan Yu saw a familiar figure on the tower.

"What is he?"

Guan Yu was stunned for a moment, Xu Shu also raised his head, and whispered softly: "Unexpectedly, the general guarding the city of Wancheng is Xiahou Yuanrang?"

The name of a person, the shadow of a tree...

Although Xiahou Dun's record is not good, it can't stand that he was famous in his early years.

At the age of 13, he murdered when he disagreed with him;
Kill Dong Zhuo's general Xu Rong on the Xingyang battlefield;

The Battle of Puyang defeated Lu Bu;

The pacification of Bingzhou was accomplished by him and Zhong Yao together.

These are all proud achievements.

The turning point came when... he was shot blind under Puyang, and since then, he hasn't been on the battlefield very often.

But his leadership, and the blessing of prestige, are still the top three existences among the generals of Cao Wei's clan.

Maybe he is not Guan Yu's opponent in a field battle, but if he is defending the city... Cao Wei has more soldiers, this city is as solid as gold!

And ever since he saw Xiahou Dun's glance, Guan Yu's heart suddenly became cold.

For a moment, he gripped Qinglong Yanyue Knife a little harder, muttering in his heart.

——"This Wancheng...is it difficult to take it down? 』

——『Xiahou Yuanrang, does my son count this time? 』

at this time…

"Hahahaha..." Xiahoudun on the tower noticed Guan Yu, and pointed his finger condescendingly at Guan Yu, "Guan Yu, back then you passed five stages and fought six generals, but because of my elder brother's affection, I let you go. Today... you still Can we go?"

Obviously being the defender of the city, Xiahoudun's aura was as if they were sure of winning and taking the initiative.

More like Guan Yu was surrounded by him.

Let anyone slaughter.

On the other hand, Guan Yu, while stroking his long beard, he raised the Qinglong Saber and shouted loudly: "Xiahou Yuanrang, come down, Guan will fight with you for three hundred rounds, and the five rounds and six generals will not be resolved in the last round." The outcome! Xiahou Yuanrang? Do you dare to fight Guan Mou?"

"Hahahaha..." Hearing Guan Yu's words, Xiahou Dun just wanted to laugh.

If he was ten or 20 years younger, he would really fight Guan Yu desperately if he didn't keep it all together, and it would be regarded as all the regrets of the year.

But now, he is 58 years old, no longer young.

fight hard...

That's something for young people. At this age, he knows how to defeat opponents more easily, using his brain and strategic deployment to defeat opponents.

"Guan Yu, with all due respect, you should surrender as soon as possible. Your army...don't look at the high morale, but can you attack the city? Do you have siege equipment? Set up camp? Do you still have food? It's just a fleeing army in panic. It’s just the remnants of the soldiers, how many days can they last? You and I know it well, hahaha..."

Xiahou Dun laughed wildly, "Guan Yu, you are strong on the outside, but you have nothing to show for it. Your soldiers are at the end of their strength, right? Ah... hahaha... Come on, come and attack the city! This general will see how you can descend from the sky and attack the city!" Come down to Wancheng?"

This…

As if, Guan Yu was at a disadvantage in the part of speaking harshly, and every sentence Xiahou Dun said hit his vitals directly.

It's just that Guan Yu is so strong, he didn't want to lose his morale, so he raised his head and raised the Azure Dragon Saber again.

But, I was about to retaliate...

Suddenly, Guan Yu saw something.

The ball is a hot air balloon.

A hot air balloon is slowly landing from the sky behind this side, and it circles to the front.

This time, the hot air balloon didn't fly very high. In fact, someone at the north city gate had noticed the flying ball, felt that it was unusual, and was rushing to the south city gate to report.

But no matter how fast they run, how can a hot air balloon fly as fast?

At this moment, Liu Ye was skillfully manipulating the flywheel, adjusting the direction according to the goal of Nanchengtou.

At this time, Huang Yueying and Zhuge Ke were both a little nervous.

The most critical moment is coming, success or failure depends on it.

The pair of mother and son... almost held their breath, and their eyes were looking at Huang Zhong who was slowly drawing his bow with a calm expression.

"there…"

Liu Ye passed Qianliwang and locked on the target.

The only one standing in the front row and in the middle of the city tower, wearing the most luxurious shirt must be the general who defended the city.

It's a good meeting!
It's just... It seems that this general is quite old, right?

and many more…

Suddenly, Liu Ye saw the man's face clearly from a thousand miles away.

He quickly exclaimed, "The general who defends the city is Xiahou Dun!"

It's okay if I don't say this, but when I heard that it was Xiahou Dun... Huang Zhong became excited.

Originally thought that this city guard general was Xia Houmao's "Little Shrimp". Who would have thought that his father is here, this is a big fish...

Xiahou Dun, the dignified head of Cao Wei's clan, General Fubo...

This is going to be shot to death... Then Huang Zhong's reputation is more than resounding throughout the Kyushu, and Huang Zhong's prestige is more than soaring to the sky.

"Xiahou Dun, it's a good time to come..."

Excited, Huang Zhong couldn't help drooling.

In fact, the distance at this time was not enough to reach the range... Huang Zhong's arrow also failed to fire.

Seeing that the hot air balloon was landing smoothly, Xu Shu suddenly guessed something.

——"Could it be an arrow from the sky?" 』

Although it is still uncertain, from the trend of the hot air balloon, Xu Shu has become more and more determined in his idea.

Because of this, his brows could not help but frown deeply. At such a time, what he can do... is to try every means to prevent Xiahou Dun and the defenders on the tower from looking up at the sky.

Suddenly, Xu Shu thought of something.

With a sound of "dedede", following the neighing of the horse, Xu Shu reined in his horse and drove directly into the edge of Wancheng's range. He pointed at Xiahou Dun and said, "Yuan Rang, do you still remember XX?"

While speaking, Xu Shu took off the hat from his head.

Because of Xu Shu's sudden words and actions, everyone's attention in the entire city tower was focused on him.

Including Cao Zhi, Li Miao, Xia Houmao... They all looked at Xu Shu in unison.

Li Miao's mood became even more tense.

He had the feeling of opening a "blind box". He had no idea how Mr. Yunqi deployed it!
——"[-]... How can I be nine-five-two-seven?" 』

Li Miao's heart tugged deeply...

"Xu Yuanzhi—" At this moment, Xiahou Dun opened his mouth. "You actually went back to Jingzhou again, sure enough... my elder brother shouldn't have believed you 1"

But the moment he opened his mouth, the hot air balloon fell further, and Xiahou Dun had already entered Huang Zhong's range.

"middle--"

Following Huang Zhong's voice.

Huang Zhong...he shot-

A golden plume arrow shot out from the bow of the Mongolian bow. The arrow was like a shooting star, drawing a perfect arc in mid-air, and shot out from the top down——

then…

Just like Huang Zhong's shouted voice, the Jin Ling's arrow was hit!

Not only did he shoot, he hit, and,,, and again!

...
