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

Chapter 55
In the afternoon, the sun shone pleasantly on the courtyard of the Jiangling City Government Office.

Guan Yu, who took a nap at noon, was sitting in the hall at the moment, wiping his cheeks meticulously under Zhou Cang's service.

Zhuge Jin has been waiting here for a while, and at this moment, he is especially in deep thought.

Just now, he heard from Ma Liang that Guan Gong agreed to meet with Lu Su.

This surprised Zhuge Jin.

Under the current situation, the situation in Hefei is tense, and Hefei's betting is also on the line, and there is a lot of turmoil. At this time, anyone can see that there is no good wine for wine, and there is no good banquet for banquets.

This is "Hongmen Banquet"!
What is outrageous is that Guan Yu readily accepted the appointment, which made Zhuge Jin admire Guan Yu's courage.

Of course, in addition to admiration, Zhuge Jin also felt that Guan Yu's move was somewhat aggressive and reckless.

After all, once the dust settles in Hefei and Jiangdong wins, justice and justice will be on Soochow's side.

At this time, Guan Yu gave up Changsha, Guiyang, and Jiangxia.

If he still refuses to let him go, then... the governor Lu Su secretly ambushed and captured Guan Yu with a knife and axe, and exchanged Guan Yu for the three counties. From the perspective of justice and morality, no one can blame him.

This is Hongmen Banquet!

At this moment, Zhou Cang reminded: "Guan Gong, the Jiangdong envoy has been waiting for a long time."

After blurting out these words, Guan Yu's closed eyes slowly opened, and a pair of red phoenix eyes wrapped in a "breathtaking" gaze, looked straight at Zhuge Jin.

Zhuge Jin's heart shuddered at this gaze, but he was used to seeing big scenes in various places, but he showed no timidity on his cheeks.

"Jiangdong envoy Zhuge Jin paid a visit to Guan Gong!"

Saluting respectfully, Zhuge Jin was extremely humble.

But Guan Yu, his eyes gradually narrowed, and his tone was as sharp as ever: "I don't know how many soldiers and horses Lu Zijing ambushed for this banquet?"

This…

As soon as this remark came out, Zhuge Jin's heart thumped, but on the surface it was calm.

"Guan Gong was joking. In the past, the Sun Liu alliance was facilitated by the governor of Lu. The governor is upright. How could he do such a small trick?"

Speaking of this, Zhuge Jin continued with a smile: "The governor of Lu specifically mentioned that if Guan Gong is worried, he will put the banquet on the heart of the Yiyang River. Guan Gong will know if there is an ambush or not."

"Hahahaha!" Guan Yu laughed loudly, "The banquet is placed here according to him, Lu Zijing, but, Guan wants to ask, is he so sure that Hefei will win the battle in Hefei and Jiangdong?"

Speaking of this, what Guan Yu subconsciously thought of was the analysis of his son Guan Lin.

Although the Jiangdong Army is numerous, there are gaps between the two vanguard generals alone, as evidenced by the blue-eyed commander!
What's more, the good disciple he "personally" taught by Guan Yu, the "Zhang Wenyuan" who experienced the baptism of the White Wolf Mountain World War I, is by no means a good student.

Perhaps, if there were no words from Guan Lin, Guan Yu would probably have thought that Soochow was "hands-on" this time, but now... soldiers have impermanence, and water has impermanence!

"There are no absolutes." Zhuge Jin did not refute Guan Yu's words, his words were gentle and slow, as if he could melt Guan Yu's cold words. "Perhaps Guan Gong was overthinking. The Governor of Lu didn't think about it that much at all. He just wanted to invite Guan Gong to talk about his parents, have a good time with wine, chat and laugh, and wait for the results of the Hefei battle!"

"Haha..." Hearing this, Guan Yu laughed again, "How about a big victory? What about a big defeat?"

"During the great victory, I should abide by the bet. The governor of Lu and Guan Gong discussed the delivery of the three counties, and they were defeated... this..." At the end, Zhuge Jin shook his head, "Haha, Guan Gong is joking again. With such a huge disparity in military strength, Jiangdong It shouldn't be a big defeat, right?"

"Five days later." Guan Yu squinted his eyes: "The day Lu Zijing chose is exactly the same as the day when Sun Zhongmou's troops came to the city of Hefei! It seems that Sun Zhongmou is planning to attack urgently!"

Zhuge Jin nodded slightly, "Although I don't understand military affairs, I also know that the enemy army is waiting for work, and our army is tired after a long journey. After a day's rest, maybe the sixth day, there will be results."

Zhuge Jin seemed quite confident.

Guan Yu stroked his long beard, "Okay, tell Lu Zijing that I, Guan Yu, will bring only one servant to the appointment on time, and have a drink with Lu Zijing and wait for the results of the Hefei battle!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhuge Jin cupped his hands, "Then, I will be the governor of Lu, and wait for Guan Gong in the heart of Yiyang Lake!"

After all, under the guidance of the guards, Zhuge Jin walked out of the government office slowly.

But Zhou Cang frowned suddenly.

Going to the meeting alone, Zhou Cang seemed even more nervous than Guan Yu.

Finally, Zhou Cang couldn't bear to ask: "Guan Gong must break into this Hongmen banquet?"

call…

With a long breath, Guan Yu was silent for a moment.

He got up slowly, and as he walked, he murmured: "If my son Yunqi's answer is right, then Lu Zijing is taking his own shame; if Yunqi's answer is wrong, then so-and-so's Qinglongyanyue knife We must force him, Lu Zijing, to sign a pledge and give up Jingzhou!"

This…

Zhou Cang was taken aback, he didn't expect that Guan Yu's "attending the meeting alone" had such profound meaning.

Guan Gong wanted to use force to force Lu Zijing to give up this "Hefei bet"!
This is a risky move.

Guan Gong is a dangerous move.

"Guan Gong..." Zhou Cang continued to persuade.

Unexpectedly, Guan Yu had already raised his hand. He changed his previous indifference and said with a light smile, "Is my son's question right or wrong? We'll see the truth and we'll find out."

It can be seen with the naked eye that Guan Yu's eyes are shining brightly at this moment, and there is a little more expectation.

Looking forward to this "rebellious answer sheet".

...

...

In Jiangling City, the court of the thief Cao Jili was very quiet.

Guan Lin stared dumbfounded at the "rags", "sandalwood" and "skin" on the table in front of him...

He muttered to himself.

——"No wonder this era doesn't use paper to wipe buttocks. The paper made by these things... must be very rough, and the touch is estimated to be similar to that of stone. The most important thing is that it is very expensive!" 』

Yes, it is expensive!
In the Jin Dynasty, there was an idiom called "Luoyang Paper is Expensive". It was because after a certain master's "Sandu Fu" was written, many people copied it, and the price of Luoyang paper increased accordingly.

But in fact, even if the price does not increase, paper is not something poor people can afford in Dahan.

Don't say "paper" can't afford it, even materials can't afford it.

Guan Lin made a lot of lists to Ma Bing, such as bamboo, sandalwood skin... and mulberry skin, rattan skin, there are some in the East Market, but they can't be bought at all.

It wasn't until this moment that Guan Suo realized that his father, Guan Yu, was a poor man!
The money in this treasury is almost cleaner than the face.

Guan Lin is also drunk, why is it so difficult to make a "that scarf" for the third sister Guan Yinping to prevent side leakage?

Just then, the beggar leader arrived as promised.

Report the news of the new day:

——"Grandfather, the place is full of excitement!"

——"Isn't Hefei going to start a fight? The Mi family has set up a gambling game, and everyone is betting on Soochow to win! Do you want to bet some too?"

...
