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

Chapter 414 Avoid the edge?Or turn from defense to offense and put all your eggs in one basket?
Guan Yu led his troops to chase, but fell into an ambush twice, losing his troops and generals.

The defeated Guan family army returned to Wancheng exhausted, groaning and sighing endlessly.

Bao Sanniang chanted bitterly:

"Wancheng is so difficult to attack, and it was captured without bloodshed, but obviously... those Wei soldiers who fled were panicked like bereaved dogs, but... they were ambushed twice in a row, really...really..."

Bao Sanniang wanted to say "really useless", but in the end the word "useless" came to her lips and she swallowed it back.

She thought that this time the commanding army was her "father-in-law". How can a daughter-in-law say that "father-in-law" is useless? Isn't this unfilial?She still wants to enter the gate of Guan's house.

Wang Tao and Wang Yue were also ashamed, and Wang Fu kept sighing and wiping the ashes desperately.

However, even Wang Fu couldn't help complaining: "Who would have thought that there would be an ambush after an ambush, but...that Xiahou Dun was already blind, and even if he took ten thousand steps back, how could he have such a meticulous mind, two people in the same place?" This ambush is so powerful, the fire at Bowangpo would not be able to burn back then!"

Wang Fu felt that the battle was unbelievable.

Zhou Cang and Zhao Lei walked past them, and these people stopped talking immediately. Zhou Cang and Zhao Lei looked at each other, and there was a little bit of loneliness in their eyes.

He clearly captured the city, but...he was ambushed twice and lost over a thousand soldiers...

The entire Guan family army came back in disgrace.

These...still cast a heavy haze over this "incredible" victory.

Zhou Cang walked to the gate of the government office, but was told that General Guan and the prefect Hou Yin were discussing matters and were not allowed to enter.

So Zhou Cang made a "shut up" gesture to everyone, and stood silently outside the gate of the government office, but still sighed from time to time.

——"Let this Xiahoudun run away, alas! 』

Inevitably... a little frustrating.

Not only Zhou Cang, but the entire Guan family army was a little frustrated.

It is obvious that this general of Cao Wei can be captured...

Alas, alas——

Long sighs and short sighs were continuously chanted among the soldiers of the Guan family army.

Guan Yu in the government office didn't even take off his battle armor at the moment, showing an unkempt appearance.

He stood in front of the throne with his hands behind his back, and Hou Yin reported: "The two thousand Wei soldiers who surrendered after being captured all died in these two ambushes. smoothly."

"That's good." Guan Yu nodded. "It's a pity that two thousand captives died, and two thousand horses were lost!"

Hou Yin went on to report, "It doesn't matter what the small things are, and the death of two thousand captives is already the smallest price. However, after two ambushes, it can be clearly seen that... the entire Wei army will be completely convinced by Li Xiao. When retreating, This Li Miao was surrounded by everyone, and the soldiers treated him as they treated Xiahou Dun."

"Haha..." Hearing this, Guan Yu couldn't help laughing, but the laughter was very restrained, as if deliberately lowering his voice, he stroked his long beard and said with emotion: "Guan's defeat, the whole against Wei is bound to publicize it , damage a certain person's prestige, and make Li Miao's reputation, this deal is very cost-effective!"

Completely different from Guan Yu in the past, now, his words are extremely open-minded.

Guan Yu has changed, and has become no longer obsessed with personal "sharpness leaking out";
He is no longer obsessed with personal "wings and prosperity", and now he cares more about the overall situation, the whole, and his son Yunqi's overall planning and decisive victory.

With this in mind, Guan Yu went on to say: "Immediately, send someone to send a message back, so that Xiangyang can feel at ease!"

Hou Yin said truthfully: "Mr. Liu Ye and Mrs. Huang have already returned, and it will be very soon...Xiangyang will also know about our great victory, but..."

Hou Yin still wanted to speak, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

Guan Yu saw what he meant: "General Hou is a person whom my son values ​​highly, and he speaks directly, without any need to hide."

Hou Yin just opened his mouth, but he didn't speak, but the laughter came out first, "I was thinking just now, General Guan can't wait to pass the news back, what I think... is not to make Xiangyang City feel at ease, but Let Mr. Yunqi feel at ease?"

Well…

As soon as this remark came out, Guan Yu was taken aback.

But Guan Yu didn't show the slightest displeasure when he was exposed clearly. He seemed to enjoy the feeling of "a father is kind and his son is not filial".

He even had the arrogance of a woman he had never had before, he said lightly: "Whatever General Hou thinks—"

at this time.

"Yunchang, Yunchang..."

It was Xu Shu's voice. He sent people to take him into the city after Guan Yu ensured that the enemy troops in Wancheng were completely wiped out.

However, at this moment, Xu Shu changed from his usual composure, and opened his mouth loudly from a long distance away.

Guan Yu was a little surprised, and went to the gate to meet Xu Shu.

But Xu Shu stepped aside to the left, then smiled excitedly and said, "Yun Chang, let's see who I brought you!"

"Huang Hansheng?" Guan Yu could clearly see who was coming, it was Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng.

"Hahahaha..." Huang Zhong raised his big Mongolian bow, and then said with a smile, "Yun Chang, how did Huang shoot those arrows?"

As soon as this remark came out, Guan Yu also laughed, "I just heard people say that General Huang shot 25 thieves with 26 arrows. Such a brilliant shot made Guan feel ashamed. It seems that Guan must admit it. Skill, even if three Guan Yu are tied together, it is not as good as General Huang—”

Apparently, Guan Yu's words made Huang Zhong very useful.

Speaking of which, Huang Zhong lost once in his life, and that was when "Guan Gong fought Changsha".

Being here now, I heard such praise from Guan Yu.

This made Huang Zhong laugh uncontrollably.

"Ha ha ha ha…"

While laughing, Huang Zhong also said modestly: "What Yun Chang said is true, when it comes to bow skills, you are no match for me, but when it comes to sword skills, how can I stand shoulder to shoulder with Yun Chang?"

Guan Yu blurted out, and laughed, "Hahaha..."

For a moment, the entire government office was filled with smiles.

Seeing this extremely harmonious and sympathetic scene, Xu Shu couldn't help feeling emotional.

——"Yunqi took the right step, Wancheng is far away from Xudu in the morning and evening!" 』

——"Now, one Guan Yu, one Huang Zhong... If they are sincere and united, they will be enough to intimidate the small group, enough to shock Xudu, and enough to force Cao Mengde to move the capital helplessly, right? 』

——"Is it enough to completely destroy the food supplies of Zhang Liao and Cao Ren? 』

——"This battle was really fun——"

...

...

Wancheng is located between the "Meixi River" and "Wenliang River", with the Baihe River to the south.

The water of the White River is directly in the sky, and the two sides are gently rolling hills and slopes. The wind blows to the scorched fields, and the whole land is barren.

Zhang Liao's camp was stationed on the bank of the Baihe River. This is the only way to go to Wancheng, and it is also the only place for Guan Yu to evacuate after he ran out of food.

There is no need to ambush, just keep the key points, which is enough to trap Guan Yu to death in the mountains between Baihe and Wancheng.

At this moment, inside the Wei army camp, Zhang Liao turned his back to the camp gate, and his burly figure was cast on the hanging map.

Standing by Zhang Liao's side, Xu Huang felt a little uneasy. With one hand on his chin, he murmured softly, "Should there be news?"

Yes…

According to previous intelligence, Guan Yu's army will arrive in Wancheng early this morning.

Then... the possibility of attacking the city seems unlikely, after all, Guan Yu has no siege equipment!

Then... setting up camp and fighting a protracted war is exactly what you want.

But no matter what, there should be news.

There is no news, but there may be an accident——

"It's also weird... Wancheng is only a hundred miles away from here, and it will take half a day to rush to report, but this..." Yin Shu also opened his mouth. He and Niu Gai looked at each other, and they both looked surprised. .

at this time.

"Report--" A scout rushed over quickly. From the moment he got off his horse, he almost scrambled into the big tent of the Chinese army. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted: "It's not good, it's not good... The city fell, Wancheng fell..."

Following this voice, Zhang Liao's heart tensed subconsciously.

But Xu Huang asked in disbelief: "What did you say? Isn't the old general Xiahou in Wancheng? Then Guan Yu doesn't have siege equipment. This Wancheng...this Wancheng...how could it fall?"

The scout stumbled and said: "The ball... there was a flying ball in the sky, and from that flying ball, an arrow shot... right... hit the right eye of old General Xiahou, and then shot another arrow, killing the major general... After that, Arrows are constantly shot out of the flying ball, every shot hits every shot...everyone is in danger."

uh... this...

Listening to the scout's words, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Yin Shu, and Niu Gai were all stunned, with blank expressions on their faces. They felt that their IQs had been insulted.

What fly ball?What heaven?
How can the flying ball be in the sky?How can arrows be shot out of this flying ball?Still hitting the target!

My sister--

what is this?Damn it?Arrow from heaven?Is justice descended from heaven?

Xu Huang and Zhang Liao were still confused, but Niu Gai picked up the scout all of a sudden, like an angry roaring lion, he yelled angrily, "Don't let your dog fart here, you special grandma!"

The scout was taken aback, but his voice was trembling, trembling very violently, but his caliber was the same as before, "Really... when the old general and the young general were shot by arrows, those... those who were originally from Wancheng The defenders turned against each other, they opened the city gate, and they welcomed Guan Yu and the Guan family army in... This is... This is the defeat, Wancheng... Wancheng fell."

"That's right... That's right..." The scout seemed to think of something again, and he hurriedly said, "It must be... It must be the big ball from the sky that sent the enemy into Wancheng, and that's... that's why the defenders of Wancheng were turned against , this is..."

A "slap" slap, before the scout could finish speaking, Xu Huang slapped him across the face.

If you lose Wancheng, you will lose it. If you lose Wancheng carelessly, you can't afford to lose it!
But you compiled a flying ball in the sky?This is simply treating these generals as fools!

And with this slap, the whole room suddenly became quiet.

At this moment, "Report--" another scout rushed over.

You know, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang sent more than a few dozen scouts to scout for information, just to prevent people from talking nonsense.

Often important information needs to be corroborated by each other...

At this moment, Tan Ma had already entered the military tent.

Xu Huang asked first, "Is Wancheng lost?"

"Lost it!" The Tanma nodded heavily.

"Tell me, how did you lose Wancheng?" Xu Huang continued to ask.

"Suddenly a flying ball appeared in the sky..."

This…

"..."

There was silence, all of a sudden, the entire camp was silent!

Only the sound of exploring the horse seemed a little trembling and thin in the air. "Yes... it was a flying ball that fell from the sky, and there were enemies in the flying ball, and then... an arrow was shot from the flying ball, and the arrow hit the old General Xiahou in the eye, and a riot broke out in the city at the same time—"

"..."

Quiet, everyone is quiet.

If one person is talking nonsense, but the second person's words are still the same, you must know...they are all trusted scouts and scouts in Wei Junzhong, then...

Arrow from heaven?It's true.

So... is this God punishing Wei?

People are often full of fear of such unknown things, especially things that fall from the sky.

Even these generals of Cao Wei are no exception.

Speaking of which, every general in this army tent is a generation who has experienced hundreds of battles, but after fighting for a lifetime, it seems that none of them can understand the tactics of such an air strike?
Arrows shot down from the sky, the more I think about it, the more I think it's nonsense!

However, at least they understood one thing, that is, Wancheng...had really fallen, Xiahou Dun was shot blind, there was a rebellion in the city, and the army was defeated like a mountain.

Xu Huang was the first to come back to his senses. He thought of their more than [-] soldiers and horses, and the daily ration expenses of these soldiers and horses.

"Wenyuan... If Wancheng is lost, then we... our army's food and grass..."

call…

Xu Huang's words made Zhang Liao involuntarily exhale deeply. He pondered for a while, but it was just this sudden pondering that made him think more and go further.

Zhang Liao said in a deep voice: "What's more terrifying is not only the grain and grass, but Xu Du..."

Zhang Liao pointed at the map, his thumb was on the position of Xu Ducheng, and his index finger could already press down to Wancheng.

So close... just so close, enough to come from nowhere.

This is why Cao Cao had to defeat Zhang Xiu before the Battle of Guandu and take back Wancheng.

This is the side of the couch, others are sleeping soundly!

After being pointed at by Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Yin Shu, and Niu Gai looked at the map and gasped when they saw the distance between the two places.

The current situation is that the main force of the Cao army on the side of Zhang Liao and Cao Ren is trapped in a corner of Fancheng north of the Han River, but is sandwiched between Xiangyang and Wancheng.

Similarly, Wancheng was also caught in the middle by Zhang Liao, Cao Ren, Luoyang and Xu Du.

This gives people the feeling that the next deployment, decisive battle, dispatch of soldiers and horses... is likely to determine the ownership of the world.

"We must go north and encircle Wancheng..." Zhang Liao ordered immediately. "At least in this way, Xu is safe—"

at this time…

One of Zhang Liao's personal guards also rushed into the big tent here. He seemed to report something, but avoided the crowd, walked to Zhang Liao's side, and almost pressed his mouth against Zhang Liao's ear.

Following his report, Zhang Liao's complexion changed sharply.

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Liao stood up suddenly. His expression at this moment was more excited than hearing that Wancheng had fallen...

And under those huge eyes, Zhang Liao opened his mouth inconceivably, his tone full of sadness and disbelief.

"You mean? She...she's dead?"

...

...

— a complete victory.

When the battle report from Wancheng came back, Guan Lin, or to be precise, the entire Xiangyang City finally let out a long breath, and the big stone in his heart fell safely.

Huang Zhong still shot accurately.

Dad Guan Yu can still fight.

Hou Yin still played a key role.

As for hot air balloons... Sure enough, historical experience shows that science and technology are primary productive forces in any era.

Of course, this was nothing, it was all planned, and it was Li Miao who surprised Guan Lin.

By chance, this is fate!

Xiahou Dun became "blind" Hou Dun;
Li Miao successfully broke through with blind Hou Dun and Cao Zhi, and even set up an ambush twice, "heavily injured" to chase his father Guan Yu.

All these plans, this ambushes again and again, even though they were acted out, even though they were arranged and arranged in advance, they are still exciting and flawless!
This made Guan Lin sigh in his heart:
——"Li Miao, this crazy man, is he cheating? 』

——『Sure enough, the most dangerous place is also the easiest place for people to grow!Li Miao is no longer what he used to be! 』

Lu Xun didn't know so many inside stories, but he could tell from the battle report that Wancheng had been captured. Although there were two incidents of being ambushed, it was harmless.

"Wancheng has really been captured, now Cao Cao can't sleep well."

Following Lu Xun's words.

Guan Lin nodded, "This is also the closest time my father left Xu Ducheng!"

Lu Xun added: "You can't be careless about Yunqi. This is also the beginning of the complicated situation, and it will be a more dangerous game between the two sides in the future."

Speaking of this, Lu Xun paused for a moment, then turned his eyes to the map, and he tried to analyze: "The Second General's occupation of Wancheng undoubtedly cut off the food supply of Zhang Liao and Cao Ren, but similarly, the area occupied by Zhang Liao and Cao Ren To the north of the Han River, Fancheng, Yancheng, and Xinyecheng also ran out of food for the Second General! Next... the plans of both sides will become more dangerous, and a mistake may result in eternal hatred."

Faced with Lu Xun's analysis, Guan Lin nodded first, then shook his head, "However, in my opinion... Zhang Liao's pressure is much greater than my father's. My father only has 10,000 mouths, but Zhang Liao's hands That’s 10,000+ mouths… I’m afraid even Fancheng’s stockpiled food is not enough to make these [-]+ mouths!”

Hearing this, Lu Xun groaned slightly, and then turned his gaze to Zhang Liao's location on the map, "Yunqi, do you think Zhang Wenyuan will put all his eggs in one basket, turn defense into offense, and then...surround Wancheng!"

"Yes..." Guan Lin didn't hesitate to think, "If he will...even if he is in an ambush against my father, he will definitely do so. At least this will reduce the pressure on Xuchang and Luoyang, and it will also provide Cao Cao with the only possibility to avoid moving the capital. Sex! Just..."

Guan Lin made a fool of himself on purpose.

Lu Xun was curious, and quickly asked, "But what?"

The corner of Guan Lin's mouth opened, revealing a slight smile: "I reckon that Zhang Liao should leave this battlefield soon, and the battlefield after him will only be Soochow!"

what…

Lu Xun was surprised when he heard this, although Zhang Liao fought this battle... the final result was not optimistic.

But he still can't figure it out, now Xiahou Dun is scared blind;
Cao Ren was in Fancheng;
Xia Houyuan was in Hanzhong;

Two of the five good generals have already died, and Xu Huang and Zhang He are even more defeated generals... Zhang Liao seems to be the only one left who can command the army and has a high enough prestige to be able to fight in this Xiangfan battlefield.

Transfer him away?So Cao Cao doesn't want this Xiangfan battlefield?
Or is Cao Cao really planning to move the capital and shake the foundation of the country?To avoid the edge?

For a moment, a series of question marks appeared between Lu Xun's brows. He stared at Guan Lin eagerly, eager to find the answer from his words.

In stark contrast to Lu Xun's nervousness, Guan Lin was as relaxed as ever, he explained lightly.

"The female disciple of Hua Tuo, Zhuo Rong who scraped the bones and cured my father's poison, died... died in Bagong Mountain. Cao Jun escorted him there, but he was ambushed by Soochow!"

Speaking of this, Guan Lin's tone lowered a bit, as if lamenting that Zhuo Rong's "accidental" death was able to win a situational initiative for Jingzhou.

This…

Lu Xun was also surprised by this information, he asked with some doubts: "Is this true or false?"

"I didn't make this up..." Guan Lin spread his hands, "It was your young general from Soochow, Ling Tong Ling Gongji, who told me..."

"Zhuo Rong died in a miserable state. He was hit by three arrows, and his blood was almost drained from his body. As for... the ambush this time, judging from the Dong Wu soldiers who were in ambush and the escorting Cao Wei soldiers, Ling Tong felt that it was an ambush. A conspiracy...a malicious conspiracy to kill Miss Zhuo Rong!"

Speaking of this, Guan Lin paused, as if he suddenly thought of something, and said quickly: "I forgot to tell Boyan first that your fellow villager Ling Tong is here!"

"He came here this morning. The first thing he did when he saw me was to hold my hands tightly. Then he told me solemnly that if he wanted to help me 'kill Cao Cao and destroy Wu, no one should be missing. ’, I can feel that his resentment towards Cao Wei and Soochow is much greater than Bo Yan when you came here in the past—”
