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

Nanyang County, Yuzhou, north of Jiangxia.

Since the Guangwu Zhong Dynasty, this place has been known as the Southern Capital. In terms of prosperity, it is not an exaggeration to say that it ranks among the top five in the entire Han Empire.

You know, the famous Xiangyang City is just a county under the jurisdiction of Nanyang!

Also a year ago, as the war situation in Jiangxia took a turn for the worse, Cao Cao had no choice but to mobilize all the Taishan Army led by Zang Ba here...

In this way, they formed a confrontation with Jiangxia's aggressive Jingzhou soldiers.

Over the past year, although there were small frictions, overall no large-scale battles broke out, which also prevented Nanyang from suffering from war.

Nanyang's prosperity and economy are preserved and preserved to the greatest extent possible.

It can be said that in the battle for Nanyang, the "granary of the Central Plains" and the "southern capital", both the north and the south maintained extreme restraint.

And this restraint completely changed on this day.

Today, the atmosphere in the mansion in Nanyang City was solemn and tense.

With the arrival of a burly general, a group of Taishan troops surrendered one after another. The leader of the Taishan army was Zang Ba's second son, named Zang Shun.

The general he is facing is Liao Hua, the governor of Jiangxia who is temporarily acting as Guan Lin and governor of Jiangxia affairs!
"I have met General Liao..." Zang Shun handed over and reported truthfully: "Father has already told me that from today on, all Nanyang will belong to Master Yunqi. The last general will lead the county magistrates, county magistrates, and county lieutenants of Nanyang counties. Come here to welcome General Liao Hua... General Liao Hua is the acting governor personally appointed by Young Master Yunqi, so he should also be the governor of Nanyang. I will be at your disposal!"

Well…

It seems that Zang Shun had already prepared this set of rhetoric.

All the Taishan Army soldiers surrendered heartily.

In the final analysis, it was just a temporary measure for them to submit to Cao Cao in the past...Now that they can "abandon the darkness and surrender to the light", the hearts of these Taishan troops are very happy.

Zang Shun presented all the seals, ribbons and household registers of Nanyang to Liao Hua without any reservation...

Liao Hua did not accept it, but took a step forward and helped Zang Shun up, "Master Zang Shun said something wrong!"

"Ah..." Zang Shun was surprised.

Liao Hua's voice continued, "This Nanyang City and your Taishan Army... are not all handed over to Master Yunqi, but we are all members of the Han Dynasty. Over the years, the Taishan Army has made sacrifices and served Cao Cao with hard work. It’s so… wronged! From today on, the general and the Taishan Army no longer have to hide their courage, and we are with the great Han who is destined to flourish again!”

Hearing this, all the Taishan troops led by Zang Shun took a step back, and then solemnly raised their hands again, "What General Liao said is true, we will be with the glory of the great Han!"

After some salutes, Zang Shun ushered Liao Hua into the main hall of the official office.

Zang Shun couldn't help but ask: "Father said, let me obey General Liao's orders here. Now that the city of Luoyang against the Wei Dynasty has been captured by General Guan, the entire rebellion against the Wei Dynasty is bound to be turbulent and people's minds will change. Then... Should we march straight in and attack northward... to seize Yuzhou and Yanzhou to seize the Central Plains?"

Zang Shun was still young and eager to make meritorious deeds.

Liao Hua showed his sophisticated side, "Master Zang Shun is eager to fight. This is a good thing. But as Master Zang Shun said, Yanzhou and Yuzhou are in turmoil and people's minds have changed. Now they will definitely be as silent as cicadas and the walls will be clear. If Our soldiers and horses attack the cities one after another. Even if we can win, we will inevitably end up injuring 10,000 enemies and losing 8,000 ourselves. This is what Mr. Yunqi does not want to see!"

"Then..." Zang Shun was a little confused, "Could it be that... if we don't attack, the Wei troops in Yuzhou and Yanzhou will surrender!"

"Maybe not!" Liao Hua squinted his eyes, showing his confident and high-spirited side.

It seems that after following Guan Lin for a long time, he has gained a deeper and more thorough understanding of many things.

"Now Cao Cao has fled into Guanzhong Chang'an and is eyeing Luoyang City. A large-scale war between Han and Wei is breaking out in Hanzhong. In my opinion, the outcome of these two battles will affect the overall situation of the world and the world. The final fate of Si, Xu, Yan, and Yu! If we lose two games in a row, wouldn't Yanzhou and Yuzhou be defeated by the wind? One thousand enemies but eight hundred losses? Wouldn’t it be even more joyful to welcome Master Wang?”

this…

Zang Shun's eyes were fixed, and he felt reasonable, and he quickly handed over his hand, "General Liao still sees far... But, I am afraid that the battles in Guanzhong and Hanzhong will not be ended overnight, so we... shall we just stand still here?"

Still young!
Still eager to make contributions!
Liao Hua could understand the mood of the young man in front of him. In fact, he had also passed through this stage.

"Hahaha…"

Immediately, Liao Hua laughed and reminded, "According to the intelligence, the battle situation in Huainan is rotten. The Jiangdong Army has fought to the death with the Wei Army in Huainan. The Jiangdong Army relies on its large number of soldiers and generals, while the Huainan Wei Army relies on that little boy to stop crying. Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, now that the two sides are in a stalemate, they are about to add fuel to the fire! "

When the words reminded him of this, Zang Shun, no matter how young he was, immediately understood, "The general knows this, so he will lead the Taishan army to Huainan...help the Jiangdong soldiers and kill that Zhang Liao traitor without leaving any trace behind!" "

This…

Liao Hua knocked his head slightly, and then reminded: "Speaking of which, your father also has some friendship with that Zhang Wenyuan. It would be best if he could be captured alive. If not, it would be okay to kill him... I will also lead the Jiangxia Army to support Huainan. We don’t expect that Wei Wei will send reinforcements this time, so no matter how impregnable Zhang Liao’s Hefei City is, we still have to poke a hole in it!”

...

...

A huge map was hung high, and Guan Yu discussed military affairs with the generals and counselors.

Guan Lin was also there, but he deliberately stayed away from everyone, quietly watching the map and listening to the analysis of the battle situation.

Xu Shu was narrating, "Let's talk about Huainan first. According to the latest information, more than half of the cities and counties in the Wei Dynasty have been captured in Huainan. Only Deyang and Shouchun are left to encircle the entire city of Hefei. …At that time, even if Zhang Liao can surpass Shenwu, he will still be unable to fly.”

Hearing this, Guan Yu pondered for a moment, as if thinking of his friendship with Zhang Liao, he couldn't help but look silent for a moment, but soon, this thought quickly drifted away, and Guan Yu said seriously, "Luoyang fell, Cao thief After fleeing Chang'an, the people of Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou are in panic. At this time, there will be no soldiers and horses rushing to Huainan. Zhang Liao will be defeated, and the capture of Huainan is just a certainty! "

Speaking of which…

"Not necessarily!" Guan Lin opened his mouth and reminded: "Although Cao Cao was defeated, he is not a confused person. In my opinion, even if Zhang Liao wants to defend Huainan, Cao Cao will definitely weigh the situation. Quickly send him an urgent message to evacuate the place of war...and then...then..."

After saying "then" twice in a row, Guan Lin looked at the map and pointed his hand at Xuzhou, "He will probably retreat to Xuzhou... Xuzhou is different from Jianghuai. The terrain there is flat, with few lakes and a lot of flat land, which is conducive to the cavalry against Wei. It is also conducive to Zhang Liao's best foot riding. In the past, a mere Chen Deng could prevent Sun Ce from breaking through repeatedly in Xuzhou... I think Cao Cao would probably follow this example and let Zhang Liao hold on in Xuzhou to wait for the results of the Hanzhong and Guanzhong wars. !”

Guan Lin's words made Guan Yu fall into deep thought.

But Xu Shu nodded. "I agree with Yun Qi. Luoyang has been lost. The strategic defense line originally planned by Cao Cao has collapsed. As a matter of urgency, he will inevitably push the defense line back... Xuzhou, Yanzhou, and Qingzhou established defense lines in this way, which is quite in line with Cao Cao. Judgment!”

Speaking of this, Xu Shu looked around at everyone present, and his tone suddenly became solemn, "Actually, both us and Cao Cao know that this so-called strategic defense line is no longer important. There is only one battle left for them to fight against Wei. , that is, in the battle between Guanzhong and Hanzhong, if Wei wins and Luoyang is recaptured, the confrontation between the north and the south will reappear in the world. If our great Han wins, and the northern expeditions of Shuzhong and the Central Plains join forces, then the entire Central Plains counties will surely be on the lookout. And Jiang...Cao Cao could only flee to the north in despair!"

As Xu Shu said...

Now, whether it is Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Sili... in any city or county, the county guards must be hesitant and waiting for news of the final battle.

The fact that Wei Wei was able to develop from Cao Cao and Chen Liu to its current strength was not due to luck;

It’s not like Cao Cao has never experienced adversity and despair!

Once upon a time, his hometown almost let Lu Bu take over the whole pot, but in the end, it was different! It’s different, he becomes stronger through those hardships.

Against Wei, no... to be precise, it was Cao Cao's ability to withstand pressure that was unprecedented!
It is precisely based on this, based on confidence in Cao Cao and Wei...

The fall of Luoyang was not enough to make the Central Plains surrender.

On the contrary, if the pressure is tightened at this time, the civil and military forces and soldiers of the Wei Dynasty in the Central Plains will work together and die together...

On the contrary, as long as Cao Cao can be defeated in Guanzhong or Hanzhong, the situation in the Central Plains will be won without a fight!

"Yuan Zhi, since the key to the strategy lies in Guanzhong, let's talk about Guanzhong. Calculating the time, it's almost time for Cao Cao to arrive in Chang'an!"

Following Guan Yu's words, Xu Shu said truthfully: "As Yun Chang said, Cao Cao arrived in Guanzhong as he wished... Temporarily stationed troops at Wuguan and Tongguan, this is a posture of marching eastward to retake Luoyang at any time! But in the short term Within a short period of time, Cao Cao will probably not attack. First, according to the news from the northern border, the more than 200,000 northern soldiers stationed by Cao Cao at the border have not made any big moves recently. Secondly... I think from Cao Cao's point of view, he also I want to wait and see the success or failure of the Hanzhong battle!"

Hanzhong…

The Jingzhou Army following Guan Yu was like a dagger inserted straight into the heart of Wei.

The Northern Expedition in Jiangdong is imperative and is on the agenda.

The breakthrough in Shuzhong is even more imminent and cannot happen in time.

So... for Cao Cao, his first priority now is to block the momentum in Jiangdong and Shuzhong. As long as these two places are blocked, there will be troops from Tongguan and Wuguan watching covetously. If Guan Yu continues to invade north, it will be tantamount to Go deep alone.

To deal with Jiangdong, you can use Xuzhou, Pingyuan, Buqi, and Zhang Wenyuan!
Can it stop Shuzhong’s momentum? What else can be used?

What Cao Cao cannot accept now is that in addition to Guan Yu in Jingzhou, the Han army... can add a stronger and more powerful battlefield.

Based on this, Cao Cao did not choose to retreat to his base camp in Yecheng, Jizhou, but rushed to Guanzhong in person, just to block the opening in Shuzhong.

This is related to the rise and fall of the Wei Dynasty, this is related to Cao Cao... and even the survival of the Cao family!

The topic turned to Shuzhong, and to the focus of the Hanzhong battlefield. Guan Yu frowned slightly, as if even though he was in the Central Plains, he knew about his eldest brother's difficulties in Hanzhong...

It’s food and grass…

It’s food and grass!

Sure enough, Xu Shu then told about the battlefield in Hanzhong, "Now, Uncle Liu Huang's troops are stationed at the foot of Dingjun Mountain, while Xiahou Yuan's troops are stationed on the other side of Dingjun Mountain. Yangping Pass is strong, and Yifu If you want to take Hanzhong, you must climb over Dingjun Mountain and attack Xiahou Yuan's defense directly from the mountain. But... there is only one reason why Uncle Liu Huang has not been able to go up the mountain... even though Kong Ming has already raised all the supplies. Shuzhong tried to raise grain and grass, but the Northern Expedition was too urgent, and the time for Shuzhong to recuperate was too short. Therefore... it was difficult to prepare grain and grass, and it was even more difficult to transport grain... Due to the shortage of grain and grass, Uncle Liu did not dare to join the Ding army. Mountain! This is the biggest problem in the Hanzhong War."

In fact, Xu Shu only mentioned Liu Bei's disadvantages, but far from mentioning the advantages to Wei Jun.

Or food and grass!

In the past, when Cao Cao was conquering Hanzhong, Zhang Lu led the Five Pecks of Rice Cult to surrender to Cao Cao, and left all the money and food in the treasury to Cao Cao. It was a rough estimate... This money and food was enough for Cao Cao to use in Guanzhong for ten years!
It is precisely with this amount of money and food that Xia Houyuan or Jia Xu can avoid fighting and spend it during the confrontation with Liu Bei... dragging Liu Bei until he runs out of food.

By then... we won’t be at the mercy of others?

How did Ma Su lose at Dingjun Mountain?

Jia Xu understands it so well!

This time, even though Liu Bei did not go up the mountain, Jia Xu used a similar strategy.

Ma Su lost because of lack of water and food!

When Liu Bei's three armies were out of food? How to deal with it?

call…

Sure enough, when Xu Shu narrated the situation in Hanzhong, the mood of the entire discussion suddenly became serious.

The smiles on everyone's faces when the good news came out just now all of a sudden disappeared.

Many people were even worried about Liu Bei's war in Hanzhong.

Make bricks without straw.

If the 200,000-strong army were to run out of food, the consequences would be... disastrous!
"call…"

Guan Yu breathed out, turned around and looked around the entire lobby, and saw his son Guan Lin and Fu Shiren seemed to be whispering something.

Guan Yu couldn't help but ask: "Yunqi? What do you think about the lack of food in Hanzhong?"

what…

Suddenly being called upon by his father, Guan Lin was startled for a moment, then spread his hands, "What can I do, kid? Just stand and watch..."

Uh…

Familiar taste!
A flame rose quietly in Guan Yu's chest.

Guan Yu patiently asked Fu Shiren next to Guan Lin, "Shiren? What do you think..."

Fu Shiren looked directly at Guan Yu, then turned to look at Guan Lin. Then, he bared his teeth and smiled, "What do I think? Yun Qi and I are heroes and we see the same thing. Let's both stand and watch. …”

have to…

Asking this was like not asking. Guan Yu felt...he was asking for trouble!

Are these fake brothers closer than real father and son?
This is such a lonely question!
At this time, Guan Lin handed over his hand and said, "Father, if there is nothing else to do, I will leave."

Fu Shiren followed Guan Lin, but he was not as polite as Guan Lin, "If nothing happens, let's leave. What? There is a shortage of food in Hanzhong. How can you get food just by talking? Haha, why don't you stay cool? Bar…"

Having said this, without waiting for Guan Yu to reply, Fu Shiren grabbed Guan Lin's arm directly, and the brothers... left in a grand manner.

Guan Yu looked at their departing figures. Inexplicably, the small flame of anger in his heart dissipated a lot.

When something goes wrong, there must be a monster...

Yun Qi and Shi Ren are probably... plotting something like this?
Guan Yu just couldn't tell whether their conspiracy was related to the lack of food in Hanzhong.

Xu Shu, on the other hand, spoke at the right time, "Yun Chang, since we can't come up with a reason for the discussion, why not follow General Shiren's suggestion and let's break up..."

"Okay..." Guan Yu got off the donkey along the slope. He raised his head and said loudly: "Luoyang Xinke, you still have to be alert! If there is any situation, report it to Guan at any time."

"promise…"

With this sound, everyone left.

But Guan Yu still looked at the courtyard in the distance, which was the direction Guan Lin and Fu Shiren were leaving. For a long time, for a long time...

It’s almost time to see people leaving.

Xu Shu walked to Guan Yu's side and whispered: "Yun Chang thinks that Yun Qi can do something about the grain of Hanzhong?"

"I don't know!" Guan Yu seemed a little unsure when it came to his son. He shook his head, "I can't guess this kid! But I can tell that he must be planning something..."

As the saying goes, heroes think alike.

Guan Yu's words made Xu Shu nodded heavily. He... felt the same way!
He even had a vague hunch that this boy Yun Qi... was going to help his uncle conquer Dingjun Mountain!

...

...

Not far outside the mansion.

Guan Lin and Fu Shiren got on the same carriage.

"What eldest brother just said was interrupted by my father. Now that my father is no longer here, eldest brother... might as well talk about it again."

Guan Lin took the initiative to ask.

But Fu Shiren's smile was sweeter than flowers, "I followed your instructions to use the Shu Brocade... Many merchants in the Central Plains have agreed to find a way to send food to your uncle at the foot of Dingjun Mountain... Now, When Luoyang City fell, these merchants were all in the city, and they asked me several times for introductions... They said they wanted to come and see you? "

Uh…

Goodbye!

This is not the point, the point is...the previous content, these merchants will find ways to send food to Dingjun Mountain and to Liu Bei.

Of course, Guan Lin's original idea was just a flash of inspiration. He was sure...everyone in the world was interested in profit. He was sure that in the face of ten times the profit, these businessmen would definitely take risks, risk being guillotined, and even trample on people. All the laws in the world!

This is Capital!
But...these merchants agreed, but whether they can actually do it is a whole new story.

Thinking of this, Guan Lin couldn't help but chirped, and said smoothly, "See... It's not that I can't see you, but I'm just curious. These big businessmen have promised to deliver it to me, but can they really deliver it?"

"Ouch..."

Guan Lin's words made Fu Shiren laugh and wave his hands, "Third brother, third brother, you are looking down on these merchants. Since your uncle captured Shuzhong, and since that Cao thief captured Hanzhong, the trade between Shuzhong and the Central Plains has It has never been opened, but in recent years...Yizhou's well salt, Shu brocade, Shu ginger, Central Plains' medicinal materials, furs, spices and handicrafts...have they ever been separated from Sichuan and Central Plains respectively? To put it bluntly, back then... I've been fooled by lard. When selling arms, no matter how difficult the waterway or land route is, as long as the profit is large enough and I am willing to put in some effort, the arms can still be delivered to the buyers! "

Having said this, Fu Shiren chirped, then put his mouth close to Guan Lin's ear. He lowered his voice slightly and said, "Third brother, I always pay attention to profit in everything. As long as you manage enough, let alone food." , Even if Cao Jun’s ordnance was burned, someone would still do it... If not, there is only one reason, we didn’t give enough -"

Uh…

Following Fu Shiren's words, Guan Lin was startled.

However, if you think about it carefully, Fu Shiren's words...are not rough!

Everything has a price, and everyone has a price.

It will be the same in future generations, one hundred thousand or one million won’t be able to pull it off!
Then add more...

Add it to tens of millions or hundreds of millions, and if the chips are placed in front of you, everyone will be deeply shocked, and no one will be allowed to say:
——Damn, you’re really good at reading people!
