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

Chapter 524 The lord has surrendered!Am I waiting to fight to the death?
Flying pigeons take advantage of the homing properties of flying pigeons.

After pigeons grow up in one place, they can find their original nest no matter where they are taken.

According to records, modern homing pigeons can fly as far as [-] kilometers.

But ancient flying pigeons are far from reaching this record. After training, the furthest flying pigeon can only fly [-] kilometers. If there are mountainous areas, this distance will drop even further.

Therefore, Jianye's flying pigeons cannot fly directly to Lujiang River. They need to go through several turnovers in the middle, and Ruxukou is an important turnover station.

It can be said…

Controlling Ruxukou will completely control the connection between Soochow and Lujiang.

"Everything is going according to plan!"

When Zhou Xun and Sun Shao saw this instruction from Guan Lin, the corners of their mouths curled up slightly. Finally... they had waited for this day, the day when Sun Quan, the thieves, would betray their relatives.

A letter from the feudal industry, including how Sun Quan compensated the families of soldiers;

Including how Sun Quan re-measured the land and re-divided the acres;
Including a series of "remedial measures" taken by Sun Quan...

These letters, which were intended to boost Lujiang's military morale and fighting spirit, were all thrown aside by Zhou Xun and then burned.

Instead, Zhou Xun wrote two letters in his own handwriting.

One was sent to Lujiang, and the content was: The lord has surrendered first, how can we still hold on?Fight to the death for what?The rain has fallen——

The other letter was sent to Jianye, and the content was that Jiang Qin and He Qi had betrayed... Lujiang was surrendered by them, and Ruxu was in danger.

Zhou Xun was looking forward to what kind of situation would result after these two letters were sent to Lujiang and Jianye City respectively.

When Zhou Xun finished writing, he held his chin and observed while saying: "This strategy is good, but will that thief Sun Quan jump over the wall in a hurry? After getting this letter, he will arrest Jiang Qin and He Qi as soon as possible. family members, and then embarrass them..."

"Yes!" Sun Shao replied without hesitation, "However, this is also what Mr. Yunqi expected. Hongyan's people had already picked up their family members. Of course... it was only their family members who took them away. The servants in the house were as usual. If they don’t see some blood... how can Jiang Qin and He Qi be so convinced after surrendering!"

call…

Sun Shao's words made Zhou Xun let out a long sigh, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Master Yun Qi always does things perfectly, it's hard not to admire..."

"Okay." Sun Shao patted Zhou Xun on the shoulder, "Send the letter, Jiangdong is finally going to change -"

...

...

In the government office of Shucheng, the seat of Lujiang, Zhang Zhao's angry roar startled the birds nesting in the trees.

——"Mother, I'm sorry for my mother's displeasure!" (Damn, I'm so unhappy)
——"And it makes me angry!" (It makes me really angry!)

——"You are such a big damn old dog!" (You are such a damn old dog)

Zhang Zhao has been roaring with anger for a full quarter of an hour. A scholar is not as rough as a warrior, but when he is really angry, the words in his mouth are like swords.

I don't even care whether it's vulgar or not.

His son Zhang Cheng stood behind Zhang Zhao, and in front of them stood He Qi and Jiang Qin.

As for what made Zhang Zhao so angry, Zhang Zhao had already explained it just now.

——"Sun Quan, this thief, nominally asked us to hold on to Lujiang, but secretly he sacrificed his daughter and begged for surrender... gave up resistance and surrendered to Jingzhou!"That's all. We don't need to be indignant because of the strength of the weak. But this dog thief actually made an agreement with Guan Lin to let Jingzhou send flying balls into the sky and burn them near Shucheng, creating a sea of ​​​​inferno to force Lujiang. surrender.In this way, if Sun Quan surrenders again, it will be forced by the situation, out of compassion, and to prevent Soochow from suffering misery. Sun Quan is no longer a surrendering king, but has become a great sage... But we... we have become surrendering ministers, huh, This thief only cares about his own reputation and doesn't care about us at all. I'm so angry... I'm so angry! 』

Undoubtedly, He Qi, Jiang Qin... and all the civil and military officials in the government believed Zhang Zhao's words.

Often in Soochow, when Zhang Zhao is mentioned, everyone will think of the four words "the whole country is in fear", and the origin of these four words is because Zhang Zhao has a solemn appearance and shocking momentum.Sun Quan often said: "When I talk to Duke Zhang, I don't dare to talk nonsense."

So the whole country was in awe of Zhang Zhao.

It was precisely because of this habitual awe that no one would question Zhang Zhao's words. In addition, he had just returned from his mission to Jiangling, and he had the witness of his son and a group of Soochow secret agents.

Big Tiger and Little Tiger really appeared in Gangneung...

Sun Shangxiang did indeed kneel down to Guan Lin. These things together made everyone disbelief!

Only a "bang" sound was heard...

Jiang Qin punched the table hard, "Damn it! We fought to the death, but Lord... no, it was Sun Quan who offered his daughter to beg for surrender! What do I think of him, Sun Quan? It's insignificant, it's Is he a tool to protect his reputation? Damn it! Damn it..."

He screamed twice in a row, one louder than the other, and by the end his voice was a little hoarse...

So much so that Jiang Qin deliberately replaced "Lord" with the title "Sun Quan". This shows how indignant he was!
He Qi walked out of the room in a hurry. He beat the pillar with one hand and shouted to the sky: "I am about to fight to the death, why did my lord surrender first?"

Zhang Cheng said quickly: "Several generals, we must surrender to Soochow anyway. It is better to fulfill Sun Quan's reputation than our own. After surrendering to Jingzhou, we should be able to be reused by Guan Yu and Guan Lin..."

"It makes sense!" Jiang Qin quickly agreed: "Hmph, he Sun Quan actually proposed to let the flying balls fill the sky and let the outside of Shu City turn into a sea of ​​​​purgatory fire. That is treating our lives as nothing... Humph, why should such a lord Allegiance? Since he has surrendered, we will surrender first... He doesn’t care about our life or death? What do we care about what he does?"

"Report-"

Just as Jiang Qin finished speaking, a messenger came in a hurry. He was holding a flying pigeon in one hand and had already taken off the letterhead from the flying pigeon's foot with the other hand.

"There's news from Ruxu——"

While speaking, the messenger handed the letter to He Qi. He Qi quickly unfolded it. Jiang Qin, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Cheng... and a group of civil and military personnel in the room all came over. As the letter was fully unfolded, eight big characters appeared. Suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

——The lord has surrendered!Am I waiting to fight to the death?

The first four words are declarative sentences, and the last four words are rhetorical questions...

Does it mean that the lord has surrendered so much?Why should I fight to the death?Who else are you fighting for?

Undoubtedly...the meaning of these eight words is that the beard has dropped——

And this letter, the facts stated in this letter, are like the last straw that breaks the camel's back. Even if the beard's circulation has fallen, what can they still hold on to in Lujiang?
For a moment, everyone's eyes met each other.

Everyone seems to have already determined an ironclad fact.

——Soochow is finished!
——The Sun family’s rule over Jiangdong is over!It's completely over!
He Qi's expression was quite complicated. He was a general promoted by Sun Quan. He would not betray him unless absolutely necessary.

But... now, it is no longer a question of whether he betrayed them, but Sun Quan betrayed them first.

His voice became mournful.

"Haha... My lord has surrendered! Should we fight to the death? Haha... My lord has surrendered! I... I have waited to fight to the death... Fight to the death? Fight to the death... Why fight to the death? Open... Kaicheng and surrender -"

...

...

"Special grandma's..."

Outside Shu City, the headquarters of Lujiang, inside the central tent of the Mi family army, Mi Fang kept pacing back and forth, swearing while pacing.

As for the reason, just now... Xu Huang sent an envoy to the military base of the Mi family army, and straight to the point he proposed that General Xu Huang asked General Mi Fang to attack the city together tomorrow.

It was this matter that made Mi Fang hesitate, think over and over again, and find it difficult to make a decision.

"General..."

"father?"

Guan Ping and Mi Yang spoke at the same time. They looked at each other. Guan Ping asked first: "In the previous attack on Shu City, our army could not fight alone. This is also the reason why we have been unable to attack Lujiang for a long time. Now on Cao Wei's side... Xu Huang has taken his place. Zhang Liao even made an appointment with the general to attack the city tomorrow. Isn't this a happy thing? Why is the general... so... so hesitant?"

"Alas..." Guan Ping responded with a long sigh from Mi Fang. He paused and explained, "Xu Huang asked me to attack the city? What kind of wishful thinking did he have? Wouldn't I know? He wanted to rob me. This Shucheng…”

Speaking of this, Mi Fang glanced at the map hanging high and continued, "Look at the Lujiang area today. Deyang and Liu'an in the north all belong to Cao Wei, and Tongcheng, Juchao and Xukou in the south belong to Cao Wei. Our Jingzhou, so... the location of Shucheng is very important. If Shucheng is lost, then the entire Cao Wei Dynasty can use the Lujiang River to divide Jiangdong and Jingzhou into two. Jingzhou and Jiangdong cannot be connected as one, so they will be captured. Jiangdong was also attacked by Cao Wei sooner or later... So... Xu Huang was competing with me to see who could break the city first! Xiang Zhuang danced his sword with the intention of Pei Gong... Granny Te, Xu Huang was sure that he would break the city first before me. !”

Oh…

When Mi Fang said this, all the young generals in the account understood. It turned out... that there were still so many twists and turns in this battle in Shucheng.

"Dad...then? What should we do? If we don't attack from both sides, we will get tongue-tied..."

Mi Yang asked worriedly.

"What should I do?" Mi Fang suddenly clenched her hands, as if she had already made a decision, "Attack... Xu Huang thought he was faster than me, but I don't believe he can beat me! He is one of Xu Huang's five good generals. Brave, when it comes to bravery and command... I can't compare to him, but I am rich and pass on my military order... Tomorrow, attack the city, and whoever conquers the city first will be rewarded with a hundred acres of fertile land in Lujiang! If he is killed first, he will be rewarded regardless of whether he ascends the city or not. , reward his family with fifty acres of fertile land! Once Shu City is destroyed, I will use all the money and food from the treasury in the city to reward the three armies——"

This…

What a generous condition!
The ancients did not have so much faith in being a soldier. They were nothing more than eating food and fantasizing about returning home in fine clothes, hundreds of acres of fertile land, fifty acres of fertile land... money and food in the treasury. Such rewards are really too tempting.

It's just that... there are more than [-] soldiers and horses here, and many generals in the tent are suspicious, General Mi?Is there so much food?

When it came to the issue of money, Mi Fang was not ambiguous at all. He seemed to see the doubts in everyone's minds, "Hahahaha..." he laughed and said, "As for the land, don't worry, my third brother promised me that he will conquer the land in the future." Jiangdong, all the money and land in Jiangdong belong to me, Mi Fang, to my Mi family... Of course, the third brother said so, we are also particular about people, these cities, ponds and acres, the Mi family only has half! The rest will be returned to Third brother, keep a line in your life... Of course, even if it’s only half, it’s enough to reward those who climb the tower first with these acres!”

Mi Fang touched his fat belly while talking, as if she had begun to imagine that half of the land in Jiangdong belonged to him!

——What a refreshing feeling it is!

This…

On the other hand, everyone in the tent, Guan Ping, Guan Yinping, Wang Fu, Zhao Lei and Mi Yang, were all pondering. The more they thought about it, the more they felt... If Mi Fang is so generous, there must be a brave man who will be rewarded. Destroy the city in one step——

While everyone is pondering...

"Report..."

A message was sent, "Zhang Zhao was sent as an envoy from Shu City...to ask for an audience with the general."

——'Is it Zhang Zhao again? 』

Mi Fang murmured in her heart, is this old man... addicted to being a messenger?I’ve just been to Gangneung, and I’m about to go out again… I’m so busy that it hurts!

I think so in my heart, but I say it with my mouth.

"pass--"

Not long after, Zhang Zhao entered the tent under the guidance of soldiers, and two young generals came with him.

"Zhang Changshi, you..."

Didn't wait for Mi Fang to open her mouth.

Zhang Zhao looked around and introduced first: "General Mi, let me introduce you. This is General Fenwu He Qi, and this is General Jiang Qin..."

Well…

As Zhang Zhao introduced the two people, Mi Fang didn't recall it for a while, but... he felt that these two names were so familiar!
and many more…

——'He Qi?Jiang Qin?This...isn't this the Soochow general guarding Shu City? 』——"It was the two of them who let Yunchang fail to attack the city and suffered a big loss. They...how did they..."

For a moment, Mi Fang showed a surprised expression. In fact... he was not the only one surprised, everyone in the entire tent was also surprised.

A war is imminent and the enemy is coming?this…

It's just...that's not all the surprise!
There were only two sounds of "pah, pah", and He Qi and Jiang Qin actually knelt down on one knee, "General, I will pay my respects to General Mi... I am willing to surrender——"

what…

what…

These words undoubtedly made Mi Fang feel as if her jaw dropped. Didn't they agree to attack from both sides tomorrow?

Is this... down?
and many more…

With a strange thought, Mi Fang pondered - "Did they surrender?"Does that mean that I no longer have to spend so much land, money and food? 』

That's right, Mi Fang's brain circuit decided that the first thing he thought about was money... This is a rhythm to save a lot of money!
Immediately, he jumped three feet high and said, "Okay, you did a good job... You did a good job..."

Mi Fang helped He Qi and Jiang Qin up, and then put their arms around each other.

Mi Fang has such a temper. Whoever helps him make money is his biological father. Whoever helps him save money is almost his biological father.

Therefore…

Mi Fang couldn't help herself, she was overjoyed and smiled widely.

Jiang Qin and He Qi were also surprised...

Is this Mi Fang... so excited?Do you welcome them like this?This excitement and joy are simply beyond words... This... this is not an act at all, right?
For a moment, Jiang Qin and He Qi looked at each other.

Through their eyes, the two people seemed to be communicating with each other through words.

——"This surrender is indeed the right one..."

...

...

The next day, noon.

To the north of Shucheng, there was a deafening sound of horse hooves from far to near, making the ground tremble slightly.

Looking up, I saw a group of people appearing at the end of the road, and the bright flag with the word "Wei" fluttering in the wind under the sky.

The bright armor shone with a dazzling luster, the jagged swords thrust straight into the sky, glowing with a cold light, and the horses' hooves sticking to the ground made a heavy rumbling sound, rushing in with an unstoppable momentum.

The rising dust billows and surges in like a sea wave, which is daunting and terrifying.

This is Xu Huang and the Huainan soldiers of the Wei Dynasty who marched south...

Xu Huang took the lead, standing at the front of the soldiers, looking at Shucheng as far as the eye could see.

"Although there are many thieves, they are all no bigger than the Xiao Xiaoxiao in the Eastern Wu Dynasty. 'Don't give in to each other in victory, and don't save each other in defeat'. It's not just for those who fight to the death... Today is the autumn of the feudal princes. Please encourage me."

Xu Huang chanted this sentence and then ordered the flag to wave.

This is the signal for the Wei army to start attacking...

For a moment... the entire wilderness was filled with dark soldiers, rushing in like a tide. Accompanied by shouts at the top of their lungs, they rushed forward bravely.

His eyes showed the heroic spirit of a fight to the death, and he kept waving the sharp blade in his hand...

It seems that every Wei soldier knows that this is a difficult battle.

Not only do they want to capture the city, but according to General Xu Huang, they also want to be one step ahead of the Jingzhou Army and capture the city!

At this time, Xu Huang stood tall, as if in his imagination, he had seen a large number of soldiers lying dead in a pool of blood, and someone behind him raised a sword, and the sound of fighting and the clash of jingos resounded throughout the world. , everything you can see is a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, which makes one’s hair and bones shivering.

Of course, this is just imagination...

In fact, the siege was ten times more tragic than imagined!
Xu Huang and Wei Jun were both prepared for this.

never thought...

at this time.

——‘That’s not right! 』

Xu Huang keenly sensed that something was wrong with Shu Cheng.

That's wrong, because the big flag with the character "mi" on the tower in Shucheng is...

糜？
There is no general named Mi in the entire Soochow, then...that...

As time passed, an unknown premonition emerged from Xu Huang's mind.

Almost at the same time…

"General Xu——"

A loud voice came from the tower, Xu Huang raised his eyes... Mi Fang appeared in his eyes!
This…

For a moment, Xu Huang was confused. He didn't know what was going on.

Didn't he agree with Mi Fang to attack the city?Mi Fang is standing alone inside now, what does this mean?This Shucheng... what happened.

Xu Huang's mind immediately raised 1 question marks.

Mi Fang's voice came out from the tower again, "General Xu, it's not that I broke the agreement and came to attack in advance, it was Shucheng who surrendered to me... Hahahaha, I originally wanted to compete with General Xu in uniting the troops to attack the city. Fan, it seems... there is no chance! Hahaha...hahahaha..."

Mi Fang smiled rather miserably... This feeling of being condescending and mocking the five good generals of Cao Wei made him feel refreshed.

Saved money, captured the city again, haha... I was thinking about it before, Yun Qi sent a letter... asking him to prepare, what does this mean?
it's good now…

I understand everything. The third brother must have used some means to make Soochow Wangfeng surrender.

This relationship is great. Doesn’t the money, food, and land saved belong to their brothers?

"General Xu, please go back... Next time we attack Jianye City from both sides, how about a showdown?"

This... Xu Huang's face turned red from suppressing it. For this attack on the city... he made a special mobilization yesterday. Words such as "Today is the autumn of the feudal lords, please encourage me" have already raised the morale of the entire three armies to the top.

He is sure that with his rule, when he breaks the city...

Mi Fang didn't even climb the city wall!
But...but the scene now is extremely ironic.

It was this little character that Xu Huang looked down upon - Mi Fang. He was the first to break the city. In other words... Jingzhou and Jiangdong are connected. This will become an irreversible trend. On the contrary, Cao Wei... wants to attack Jiangdong again. You have to take waterways like Ruxukou!
The land route is completely blocked...

--"hateful…"

Xu Huang bared his teeth and glared at Mi Fang angrily. The deputy general beside him asked for battle: "General, attacking the city in Jiangdong is also an attack. Attacking the city in Jingzhou is also an attack. Why not go all out and capture this city..."

There is nothing wrong with this.

The Sun-Liu alliance is nothing but their own agenda, let alone... the agreement between Jingzhou and Cao Wei, haha... betrayal, backstabbing, these are just routine operations.

only…

After Xu Huang pondered for a long time, he loosened his clenched fists. He let out a long sigh, and then said angrily: "Don't you see the current situation clearly? There are more than just people in Shu City. It's him, Mi Fang! Shucheng surrendered, Lujiang surrendered, and now there are two groups of people in this city... In the past, the Jiangdong Army alone could withstand Guan Yunchang's offensive? Now... This general can order an attack on the city, but, this city Can it be captured? Could it be that...the Huainan Army is far more powerful than the Guan Army?"

This…

Although the words don't sound good, what Xu Huang said is the truth, a fact that is unquestionable.

Following Xu Huang's words, all the lieutenants lowered their heads and did not dare to speak anymore.

call…

call…

Xu Huang, on the other hand, after two more heavy exhalations, he gave the order with difficulty and word for word, "Withdraw the troops and retreat to Hefei. The top priority is to protect Ruxukou...otherwise, if Ruxukou fails again, If it falls into the hands of Jingzhou, how can our army maintain a foothold in Jiangdong?"

what…

After hearing the order to withdraw, a group of soldiers still didn't want to withdraw. After all... now that the arrow is on the string, it will fade away in despair, then... won't all the efforts during this period be in vain?
"Didn't you hear what I said? Retreat...to Hefei——"

Xu Huang roared angrily, and the unwillingness, helplessness, and anger in this roar seemed to be contagious and quickly spread to the hearts of every soldier in the three armies.

In the end, the Wei army soldiers retreated...

Xu Huang, on the other hand, finally turned his head deeply and raised his eyes to look at the city head of Shu City. He seemed to want to roar, but in the end...a deep sigh replaced the roar.

He wanted to leave a harsh word like "I will be back" at the end...but, he felt...if he shouted this sentence, the one who was mocking him would definitely be himself!
——Stumbling over...

——He Xu Huang was not successful at the beginning, and he stumbled hard.

On the other hand, Mi Fang on the tower felt relaxed after seeing the Wei army retreat. He turned around and faced a group of Soochow surrendered generals...

He was pondering something in his mind, and finally couldn't help but ask these surrendered generals.

"What is that? I have a question... Although it is a bit abrupt, I keep it in my heart and it makes me feel very uncomfortable. I hope you will give me some advice..."

Zhang Zhao, He Qi and Jiang Qin looked at each other and then replied.

"General, it's okay to ask! We will definitely tell you everything we know."

"That's good, that's good..." Mi Fang clasped her fingers, as if calculating something silently in her mind, and asked him this unpleasant question: "How much land do we have in Jiangdong?"

ah... ah...

Zhang Zhao, He Qi, and Jiang Qin were stunned. They could have imagined that General Mi would ask how many household registrations Jiangdong had, how many soldiers, ships, officials and generals...

But?land!

The three of them were stunned. Having said that, how did they know... For Mi Fang, he didn't care about soldiers, household registration, ships, civil servants and generals. He only cared about how much land he could get after conquering Jiangdong!

--This is very important!
