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

Chapter 423 Cao Cao returns home, who knows?Hometown Qiao Peiduo died in battle!
"Assassinate Cao Cao, you are not alone, I... no, it's not just me, everyone in this parrot, who doesn't have a deep hatred with Cao Cao?"

Lingju's voice came out gradually.

When it reached the young man's ears, the boy felt as if he saw hope, as if he had found an organization.

However, today he has witnessed too many surprises, the sudden secret passage, dead men, organs... and future assassinations... all these made him overwhelmed.

"What? Scared?"

Seeing the young man in a daze, Ling Ju took the initiative to ask.

The boy shook his head hastily, stumbled in his mouth: "Wen...Miss Wen..."

"You don't need to call me like that." Lingju smiled softly, "You are Mr. Yunqi's second brother, just call me Lingju just like him!"

"Miss...Lingju." This young man is Guan Xing.

He stumbled and chanted the name "Lingju".

He also only found out more than ten days ago, what does this name mean to the fourth brother?
This is a "base area" behind enemy lines!

Just because of thinking of this, Guan Xing's thoughts seemed to be pulled back to the moment in Xiangyang City more than ten days ago, when his father Guan Yu ordered him to kill Guan Xing in front of the Yuanmen.

At that time, when he heard that his father had returned in a hot air balloon, he subconsciously wanted to plead guilty and suffer death, but was persuaded by those Sun Ru who taught him the hidden weapon "Shadow Arrow" all the time.

Sun Ru said lightly: "How did Mr. Yunqi tell you, have you forgotten? Have you practiced shadow arrows for nothing these days? A good death is better than a dead life!"

This sentence made Guan Xing, who was in a state of confusion at that time, suddenly calm down.

Under Sun Ru's eager gaze, Guan Xing repeated the plan arranged by his fourth brother Guan Lin: "The fourth brother wants me to cooperate with him in a play, first I will take the blame...and then I will take all the blame In the end, when he beheaded at Yuanmen, he would drop a condemned prisoner who looked like me. It is the military discipline of the Guan family army."

Speaking of this, Guan Xing paused, "As long as I 'die', everything will be over, and everything will be liberated...and I will be sent to Luoyang to cooperate with Miss Lingju's 'behind the enemy's rear', and eventually One day, I will kill Cao Cao to pay off the crime! This is my only hope to return to my father and my fourth brother!"

When he said the last sentence, Guan Xing seemed to be relieved.

But his gaze became more resolute and sharp, and even the Shadow Arrow he was holding made a soft 'cluck' sound due to the sudden force of his wrist.

Even if Sun Ru knew about this plan in advance, but when he heard it again from Guan Xing this time, he couldn't help being amazed that Guan Lin's plan is always like this "put it to death and live later"...

It seems that her husband Lu Xun and the members of the Lu family are like this, right?

Is this young master Yunqi extremely thoughtful?
Or is he just good at setting up games like this?
Thinking this way, Sun Ru still reminded Guan Xing at that time: "In the military camp in Xiangyang City, the number of the Guan family's army is less than [-]%, and most of them are under the hands of Mr. Yunqi. Li Daitao's plan is not difficult... just to revive the Guan family's army Military Discipline, you need to act more realistically, and express the determination of wanting to die and seeing death as home in your words, can you do it?"

At this moment, Guan Xing had completely calmed down, and he replied softly: "I know what to do!"

Therefore, in the whole process of pleading guilty,

Guan Xing's gaze was always looking at his father Guan Yu and his fourth brother Guan Lin, because he knew...after this one glance, the next...don't know when we will see each other again.

Or maybe, forever.

So, in the big tent of the Chinese army that day, Guan Lin and Guan Xing "singed together" for Guan Yu, and for everyone to see. Those on the periphery are trusted confidants.

Then before the execution, in order to avoid blood splatter everywhere, a circle of black cloth will be cast around the execution stake, that is, at this time, Guan Xing will be exchanged with the death row prisoner.

Because of the human skin mask, the executed prisoner's cheeks were exactly the same as Guan Xing's.

Of course, even if the "corpse" was finally restrained, the person who verified the body was someone Guan Lin could trust.

That night, through a hot air balloon, Zhuge Ke sent Guan Xing to the north of Wancheng, where the "parrot" sent by Lingju was there to pick him up. Three days later, Guan Xing appeared in Luoyang City.

His new journey has arrived.

finally…

Guan Xing pulled his thoughts back from afar, he was a little excited because of the change of "identity", "Miss Lingju, when shall we act?"

"Cao Cao is not easy to assassinate. He has Xu Chu and Sergeant Huben by his side. We have to wait for him to arrive in Luoyang, and wait for an excellent opportunity, otherwise he will scare the snake away. It's just..."

Lingju looked at Guan Xing's cheek, shook her head involuntarily, opened her mouth hesitantly, "What do you look like?"

"I have this..." Guan Xing took out a human skin mask from the package, and put it on in front of Lingju.

Now... Guan Xing has a whole new look.

From the image of a warrior, he suddenly became a refined and easy-going son.

Because of the change of appearance, no one will associate him with Guan Yu's son.

Lingju was astonished by the sudden change in her cheek.

Guan Xing showed the package, "The fourth brother asked me to bring more than thirty human skin masks...to facilitate some secret actions between Lingju and the parrot."

call…

Lingju exhaled deeply, she took one, and stroked it on her cheek.

I can't help but feel emotional.

——"This is... a terrible disguise technique, it's almost... like a different person. 』

"It's the best." Lingju sighed, then looked at Guan Xing, his tone suddenly changed meticulously, "If you want to assassinate Cao Cao, you must let Cao Cao arrive at this city of Luoyang. The first thing that needs to be done is to wait for him to move his capital to Luoyang. ...of course, at the same time...there is one more important thing to do?"

"What?" Guan Xing couldn't wait.

Lingju lowered her voice, but emphasized her tone: "The Son of Heaven has to leave Cao Wei——"

"What do you mean leave?"

"As long as Cao Cao can no longer control the emperor, the rest is life or death!"

Following Lingju's last words, her gaze became sharp, and she thought of not only the great achievements Cao Cao had made in "holding the emperor to make the princes" over the years.

What she thought of more was... Nanyang.

There, she also had an uncle who made a bet with her.

Take the ownership of the Taishan Army as a bet, bet that the emperor will leave Cao Cao, bet that Cao Cao can no longer coerce the emperor to order the princes——

...

...

When talking about uprising Bo Yuntian, people often mention Guan Yu.

So... the second person who was Yi Bo Yuntian in the Three Kingdoms era?Who will it be?

The answer is - Zang Ba!
This former general of Lu Bu and the lord of Langya of Cao Wei is now the general responsible for guarding Nanyang for Cao Cao.

He is 51 years old this year.

He has never been stationed in Nanyang Zhisuowan County, his task is to guard the gate of Jiangxia going north to Nanyang.

Therefore... he and his Taishan Army were stationed in the Zhongshan area of ​​Sui County.

Here, facing south can prevent Jiangxia from going north, and facing west and east can observe the situation of Xiangfan battlefield and Huainan battlefield at any time, which can be said to be the central axis of the three battlefields.

In Nanyang, Zang Ba showed a frugal side as always, his mansion was not so conspicuous, and the gate that was only six feet wide was always inadvertently missed by passers-by.

The yard is not big, with two rows on the east and west sides, and a total of ten wing rooms.

Who would have thought that such a mansion is the residence of [-] households in the feudal city, where Cao Weizhong...the number one existence in the fiefdom... Zang Ba lived.

Simple and simple——

At this moment, in a wing room on the west side, Zang Ba was reading the Tang newspaper spread out on the long desk, his brows furrowed.

It was early spring, and it was still cool in the middle of the night, but Zang Bawan didn't seem to notice it. Under the dim oil lamp, his complexion unexpectedly followed the handwriting on the pond newspaper.

After struggling to read the last word, I realized that the oil lamp was about to go out.

Get up, change the dying wick, sit down...reread.

The first is that Sun Quan asked Cao Cao to cede the cities and counties south of Huainan in exchange for "Sun Cao's truce", and Cao Cao was unsurprisingly furious.

This is very common, and it is impossible for any monarch to accept the condition of "cutting the land".

But the second one, Cao Cao led his troops back to Xudu. He didn't even call Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, the nemesis of "Soochow", to garrison Shouchun.

This behavior seems to have a lot of meaning!

call…

Following Zang Ba's long cry, he couldn't help opening his mouth and said: "Cao Cao is still good at performing as always, and returning to Xudu is equivalent to accepting Sun Quan's 'truce condition', and he wants to give up the land of Huainan to Sun Quan." Huh? Hehe, he did not admit defeat on the lips, but in his heart... Cao Cao still surrendered to the Guan family father and son."

A simple newspaper and two messages are as important as a thousand pounds.

Zang Ba couldn't help getting up slowly.

He walked to the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the rocky night, he thought of two things, one...is Cao Cao.

Although it is unbelievable, even though it is unbelievable, but... the lesser of two evils, Cao Cao decided to focus on dealing with this pair of Guan family father and son.

He even did not hesitate to make huge concessions to his "mortal enemy" Sun Quan.

Thinking of this, Zang Ba sighed with emotion, "Cao Cao, the lord of the Great Wei, is having a hard time now..."

Just as he said with emotion, for a moment, Zang Ba had a feeling that this great Wei, who was promised, was suddenly in danger.

The second thing is the bet between him and Lingju.

Zang Ba promised his righteous brother Lu Bu to help him take good care of Diao Chan's mother and daughter.

He can also feel Lingju's affection for Guan Jiashiro, but his position, position... can't be used because of her feelings. Zang Ba's men are all soldiers of Lu Bu in the past, these are some old brothers.

One wrong choice... It is very possible that the entire Taishan army will fall into a situation of eternal doom.

Therefore, Zang Ba gave Lingju's favorite man a test, and it was not an easy test.

If Guan Lin can take the emperor away from Cao Cao, then whether it is Zang Ba or the Taishan Army may not be able to change their positions.

It doesn't matter whether you abandon the dark and turn to the bright, or you turn your back on the battlefield.

At least... Cao Cao can't continue to coerce the emperor, so there will be hope for Liu Bei's camp.

But now, the changes in the current situation and the development of the situation made Zang Ba feel overwhelmed.

Even, according to the information obtained a few days ago, Cao Wei even lost Wancheng, which is one day away from Xudu and the emperor.

Thinking of this, Zang Ba narrowed his eyes.

He muttered in his mouth: "Then Guan Lin can't really get the emperor out of Xudu?"

Speaking of this, Zang Ba closed his mouth and eyes, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

——"If you want to seize the emperor, you must first force Cao Cao to move his capital!" 』

——"Hehe, I have to praise this kid, this kid did it step by step... step by step..."

don't say...

The more he thought and pondered, the more Zang Ba felt that because of Guan Lin's soaring into the sky, the current situation suddenly became turbulent, and the general situation of the world suddenly changed!

Everything is not yet definite;
Everything is still changing.

This also made Zang Ba hesitate.

What should he do with the Mount Tai army in his hands?
"Report..."

At this moment, a messenger came to the door of Zang Ba's wing. He did not enter the room, but reported through the door.

"Guan Yu beheaded his second son, Guan Xing, and made a public display at the gate. Guan Lin, the fourth son of the Guan family, left Xiangyang in anger and rushed to Jiangxia... Yu Jiangxia sang and danced to peace, drunk and dreamed of death!"

Well…

This piece of information made Zang Ba suddenly raise his eyes, and he repeatedly chanted "singing and dancing to promote peace, drunk life and dream death"...

After the words fell, what Zang Ba subconsciously wondered was, what kind of play is this kid Guan Lin playing?
Could this kid be playing tricks on the enemy again?
Then...

Who is his target this time?

Zhu Yu was in the front, and Guan Linyin was there too many times, so much...even Zang Ba, who was an outsider, felt that he was plotting a conspiracy.

"Where is Cao Cao?"

Suddenly, Zang Ba asked again.

The messenger quickly replied without thinking: "According to the latest information, Cao Cao will go to Qiaopei tomorrow morning...stay for half a day before returning to Xudu!"

——"Qiao Pei? 』

Zang Ba groaned softly in his heart, and then he couldn't help muttering: "This is Cao Cao's hometown, the ancestral hall of Qiao Peiwu people! It's just..."

Zang Ba used to be the lord of Langya, and because of the proximity, he knew everything about Yanzhou and Yuzhou clearly.

Hearing that Cao Cao was going back to his hometown, Zang Ba couldn't help shaking his head.

"Really going back, that is a huge surprise that Guan Jiashiro gave Cao Cao, heh... it can also be said to be a huge shock!"

...

...

Pei country, Qiao County.

Because of Cao Cao's return, there was a banquet in the square in front of the palace, Cao Cao sat in the middle, and all the elders and folks from Qiao County attended, enjoying themselves happily.

Cao Cao held his wine glass and smiled: "The last time I came here was on the way to the south, and I lived in the old house for a few days. The lonely and lonely second son Pi planted a few sugarcane trees in the yard. It has been five or six years. ? Those sugar canes now? I’m afraid they have long since disappeared, right?”

The old man smiled and said: "The sugar cane planted by the prime minister and the young master grows very well. I still remember that when the sugarcane was grown last year, the county magistrate said that it was distributed to the villagers by the prime minister's order? I was also lucky to share two bites, sweet... sweet How tight! The common people also said that they have never eaten such sweet sugar cane, and only the king and son can grow such sweet sugar cane."

Li Zheng was flattering yet dignified, which made Cao Cao laugh "haha".

At this time, the county magistrate of Qiao County opened his mouth and said: "In the fifth year of Xiping, the upright prime minister was weak. In that year... an old man discovered a yellow dragon floating above our Qiao County. Many people saw it and speculated... In the future we An emperor will be born here, even if he is not an emperor, at least he must be a general... Now it seems that this yellow dragon heralds the prime minister."

"Hahaha..." The words of the villagers made Cao Cao laugh heartily.

This is the magic power of the accent, which allows Cao Cao to walk out of the rudeness and forced compromise on the battlefield for a short time, and enjoy a different kind of warmth.

Wealth and honor do not return to one's hometown, it is like walking in brocade clothes at night, these words are not just words.

"There is no sugar cane in this season..." Cao Cao said with a smile, "However, Gu brought some fruits from other places to the folks, and they all tasted..."

While talking, some guards presented grapes, plums, and green plum wine to these folks and elders one by one.

An old man saw the wine and wanted to drink it, but he glanced at Cao Cao and dared not drink it...

Cao Cao poured a bottle of green plum wine and handed it to the old man, "Drink, those who drink this green plum wine are all heroes, ah...hahahaha..."

Cao Cao seemed to be in a good mood.

The old people drank green plum wine and ate the fruit in front of them tremblingly.

Cao Cao smiled and asked the elders beside him, Li Zheng: "I remember the last time we came here, Qiaopei was still a thriving population, and many folks brought their dolls. How come you are the only ones this time? Let those dolls come to eat together?" I remember the last time I came here, there were hundreds of dolls under the age of ten? Haha, I brought a lot of these fruits, hurry up, call them here!"

This…

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of these villagers who were visible to the naked eye became gloomy.

Cao Cao noticed something strange and quickly asked, "What's the matter? What about these dolls? Now, shouldn't these dolls be sixteen or seventeen years old? Gu also said at the beginning that he would personally give them the gift of weak crowns? What about people?" ? Where are they?"

This time, the expressions of the elders became even more gloomy, and their faces darkened. They glanced at the local magistrate timidly.

The county magistrate also seemed quite embarrassed.

Cao Cao noticed something strange, and quickly asked, "What's the matter?"

Li Zheng reluctantly said: "Thanks to Wei Gong's great love, those dolls have gone out... all... aren't we in Qiaopei?"

Cao Cao's face turned slightly cold, and he turned to Xu Chu and whispered, "Huhou is also from Qiaopei, you go to the county office and show all the registered household registrations here to Gu!"

"Well..."

Xu Chu quickly went to the county government office with a few Huben soldiers, and after a while, Hu Bo brought it along with... a booklet.

The booklet is extremely long, almost flush with the household booklet.

Cao Cao asked, "What is this?"

Xu Chu's words also became low-key, "This is the list of canceled households. There were originally 45 people from Qiao Pei who were over ten years old and under 3 years old. Now..."

At the end, Xu Chu's voice suddenly stopped, which also made Cao Cao's heart heavy.

He opened his voice and asked, "What about now?"

Xu Chu said tremblingly: "There are no... 3 people, less than one in a hundred survived! They all... all died on the Xiangfan battlefield!"

As soon as this statement comes out…

Cao Cao's pupils became terrified.

Father Li was kneeling on the ground with the county magistrate and county magistrate, burying their heads in terrified fear...

Cao Cao's voice came out one after another, "That is to say, even I, Qiao Pei... I, Qiao Pei, don't have any mature men anymore? They all... all died in battle?"

...
