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

"Your Majesty, Xu is working too hard. General Xiahou is so brave. In these years... he has fought in the south and north, and never has he returned victorious!"

Seeing that Cao Cao looked wrong and had a look of panic on his cheeks, Cheng Yu quickly advised: "Besides, there are old people saying that dreams and reality are opposite. In this way, maybe the king's dream... meant that General Xiahou would win. Return, but the big-eared thief’s life is not saved.”

Cheng Yu's words made Cao Cao's expression soften a lot.

But, just after a long "hoo" sound.

"No..." Cao Cao's rough tone rose again.

"If he were Liu Xuande, even the three of them tied together would not be able to pass the level of Miaocai. But it is different now. Liu Xuande's right-hand man not only has wise men like Fa Zheng and Zhuge Liang, but also the treacherous son of the Guan family... Gu De The clan brothers Cao Ren and Cao Chun, Gu's tiger generals Wenpin, Xu Chu, Le Jin, and Pang De, Gu's important ministers Man Chong and Zhao Yan... all of them died under the machinations of the four sons of the Guan family. This son made Gu unable to defend himself. !”

This...Cao Cao's words, Cheng Yu still wanted to speak to persuade him, but when he opened his mouth, he found...

What King Cao Cao said is true.

Guan Lin Guan Yunqi, this guy, his schemes and tricks... are hard to guard against!

Thinking of this, Cheng Yu was actually affected by Cao Cao's words and became inexplicably nervous.

Cao Cao's voice continued, "Gu leveled the northern border, settled the Yellow Turban, captured Jingzhou, and conquered Wuhuan. Gu fought in all directions throughout his life and encountered numerous setbacks, big and small. But after every setback, Gu was never discouraged. It was the same fire in Chibi in the past, but now, Gu can't laugh anymore, this Guan Lin... Gu is afraid of him! Anything can happen to him if he helps the 'Han Army'. There have been too many desperate situations...too...too many times!"

At the end, especially when he said the words "too much," Cao Cao's tone contained frustration.

"So, so..." Cao Cao continued dejectedly, but his tone was even sharper, "Why does the Shu army have no food? What is the trick of cutting off the Shu army's retreat? What does it mean to delay the Shu army's retreat time? Haha... these are all Hypothetically, if Guan Lin solved the Shu army's food and fodder, was it Gu's dream, and the headless corpse in Gu's dream really became Gu's hussar general? Revenge, will it... become a reality?"

possible--

Probably--

It was clear that what Cao Cao said was alarmist, but at this moment, when Cheng Yu heard it, he actually felt that it was very possible and that he was justified in being anxious.

Guan Lin, Guan Lin, still Guan Lin——

In the past two years, this name has brought too much deterrence to Da Wei.

If it were him, the Wei Dynasty's speedy General Xiahou, who had five hundred in three days and one thousand in six days, might really become a headless general.

This is by no means alarmist!

With a "gudong" sound, Cheng Yu swallowed a mouthful of saliva subconsciously.

He said in panic: "What the king means is that maybe the food problem of the Shu army will be solved because of Guan Lin... However, whether it is Shangyong County or the information coming from Shuzhong, everything is safe and sound, and there are also people on various food routes. No food or grass appeared!"

"If you find out, he is no longer Guan Lin." Cao Cao said categorically, and his eyes narrowed, "I would rather believe that this kind of thing exists than believe that it does not exist, so I will write a letter immediately Send the letter to Hanzhong overnight...deliver it to Miaocai personally!"

While speaking, Cao Cao had already taken out his pen, and Cheng Yu quickly unfolded the bamboo slips and polished them.

——'My brother is so talented! 』

As these four words came out, Cao Cao's writing was vigorous and powerful. What was revealed between the lines was his fear of Guan Lin and his suspicion that the Shu army would run out of food.

Cheng Yu looked at this letter as if it were "made out of nothing" or a document written on bamboo slips of "unfounded worries". He looked at Cao Cao because of his worries... the sharp edges of Kong Wu's powerful pen trembled from time to time.

He couldn't help but sigh sincerely in his heart:
——"This Guan Lin is really scary!" 』

——"This rebellious son of the Guan family, just by his name, makes the king... no, makes the entire Wei so fearful!" 』

...

...

Ma Di followed Li Miao to the door of a prison.

Although they are both prisons, they are better than the previous one. There is a wooden bed, two thin quilts, and desks and utensils in the prison.

But despite this, it still cannot alleviate Ma Su's discomfort, although he is not pampered.

But he was born into a wealthy family and has always been a well-served and respected young master.

As long as he faced the prison cell, the feeling of rejection and fear seemed to arise spontaneously from his heart and hit his face.

And this also made him frown and take a step back.

"This cell is quieter. I checked it specifically. Because it is airtight, no one will hear what is said here even if you stand outside the door..."

At this time, Ma Su glanced around. This prison could not be said to be completely airtight. A ray of pale sunlight filtered through the small slanted window on the top.

There are countless floating dust particles in the light, which makes people feel more stuffy and dirty here after looking at it.

But none of this matters.

Ma Di looked directly at Li Miao with a heavy gaze, "Why do you have my brother's handwriting? You...do you recognize my brother?"

Li Miao sneered: "My king has sent people to persuade you to surrender many times, but you were always rejected by your indifference. This shows that you are still loyal to Han and Liu Bei. As you said, you are just You are ignorant, you are stupid, you are blinded by the interests in front of you, but you are still loyal! Haha, if it were not the case, even if this letter comes, I would not be willing to save such a loser!"

"Trash? I'm not here to humiliate you. You're asking you..." There was a little edge in Ma Di's eyes. Even deep in prison, he was still the proud young man. "I'm asking you? Why do you have such a problem?" My brother’s handwriting!”

"I not only have his handwriting." Li Miaoyun took out a letter from his arms calmly, then slapped it on the desk, and then said calmly, "You might as well take a look at your brother's complete letter..."

Hearing this, Ma Di hurriedly opened the letter. Sure enough, the handwriting on it was his brother Ma Liang's.

The so-called "Ji, Bo, and You" often... Because they are similar in age, Ma Su has the closest relationship with his brother Ma Liang, and he listens to his words the most.

As these words unfolded, Ma Su's eyes stared closely at the words above.

…These words - shocking!
Li Miao's voice came out at the right time, "You are quite lucky, or you have a good brother. At your brother's request, Mr. Yun Qi promised to save your life and help you to pay for your crimes..."

Just as Li Miao said, Ma Liang also wrote the same content on the letter.

——"Youchang, Mr. Yunqi promised to save your life. He will arrange for his righteous soldiers buried deep in Niwei to contact you. You must cooperate and make meritorious deeds!" Do not disgrace our Xiangyang Ma family! 』

call.

When Li Miao's words and these lines of text entered Ma Su's mind, he had only one feeling, shocking and enlightening.

He could not imagine that Li Miao, who had an extraordinary position in the Wei Dynasty, held the school affairs office, and was a celebrity in front of Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun, was actually a member of Guan Lin.

Not only that.

What Ma Su felt more was shame, deep shame.

He... He had slandered and framed Guan Lin countless times, he had opposed Guan Lin countless times, and he had repeatedly tried to stumble and play dirty tricks behind his back.

Even if he supports Liu Feng, he just wants to prove that he... he is stronger than the "Guan family traitor", countless times stronger.

But finally.

In the end...when he was really in a desperate situation and fell into a quagmire, the person who saved him was...the young man he had slandered, framed, abused, and misled.

For a moment, a deeper and heavier feeling of guilt swept through his body, making him feel as if he was losing all his strength. This made him want to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.

Ashamed of one's appearance, Ma Su knew every word of these four words.

But together... it made his proud head bury deeply for the first time!
Buried deep in the mud and filth!

What does it mean to judge a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart...

Damn, he, Ma Su, turned out to be so hateful, but he only realized it later. Damn, damn!

Thinking of this, Ma Su couldn't help but clench his fists. He wished he could punch himself, and he even wished he could punch himself awake two years earlier. He was so stupid and useless.

Comparing or surpassing Guan Lin?
Haha, how is that possible? How can it be?

He doesn't deserve it. He doesn't deserve it in terms of talent or structure... he doesn't deserve it...

Just when Ma Su's thoughts were changing rapidly, Li Miao's voice came out again, "Okay, let's stop talking nonsense. What should we do now? Do you know?"

What to do? Know?

Ma Su was a little confused, he seemed to not understand.

What can he...a prisoner do?
"Mr. Li..." Ma Su's tone became more humble, as if because he had survived a desperate situation, his entire posture was completely gone from the arrogance of the past, "I...what can I do?"

"It's not what you can do, but what Master Yunqi asks you to do." Li Miao gestured to Ma Su.

Ma Su lowered his head and put his ear to it.

Li Miao said in a very soft and thin voice: "Surrender to Cao Cao! Just like me..."

This…

When such a sentence came out, Ma Su's eyes couldn't help but widen.

Stare to the extreme!
After a while, he seemed to have come back to his senses, but... his tone became stumbling, "Then Guan Jianni... no, it's Mr. Yun Qi, he... does he want me to be like Mr. Li..."

"That's right." Li Miao seemed to be touched when he heard the words. He stood up slowly and straightened his posture, "We are the bright backside of the big man, we are the hidden guardians buried deep underground—— "Similarly, Li Miao's words also deeply touched Ma Su.

He couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

——"Hidden...Guardian?" 』

...

...

Because three meals a day were changed to two meals a day, and the amount of food at each meal was reduced a lot.

Therefore, at the foot of Dingjun Mountain, the Shu Army camp was completely exploded.

"You can't even eat enough, so why fight?"

"Yes, we are working hard here, but we are so perfunctory about eating. This is fooling us."

"Is this how Uncle Liu Huang fooled these humble soldiers like me?"

Food is the most important thing for the people...

"Meals" in military camps are even more important. How many people serve as soldiers for one purpose - to eat food as soldiers!
Having said that, in the past, when Cao Cao conquered Yuan Shu and ran out of food, he used Dendrobium to divide the food and delay it for a few days.

In the end, the crowd was so excited that they almost mutinied, and this is where Cao Cao made his "heartfelt words" to the grain officer: - "Your wife, I will support her!" 』

Today, it was unbelievable that there was such turmoil in the Shu army.

For a while, the sergeants were talking incessantly.

"I heard that as early as ten days ago, our army's food supply was at the bottom. Uncle Liu Huang was unwilling to retreat, which is why today's food supply is exhausted..."

"Yes, Uncle Liu Huang is too obsessed and wants to defeat the thief Cao once, but... we can't gamble with the lives of our 200,000 soldiers, right? Until now... we have run out of food and support, so we can't Who will work for him when he is hungry?”

"Eat, eat... I don't care about anything else. If I have enough to eat, I won't fight this battle, I won't fight..."

I don’t know if someone is deliberately inciting it, or if the crowd is excited to a critical point.

All of a sudden, various voices came out one after another...

The whole army was in an uproar and boiling!
...

the other side.

Ma Chao and Huang Zhong were shocked and took Liu Bei's military order and asked Zhao Yun, "Two hundred thousand troops? Just go back like this? Even if you want to withdraw... why do you have to run out of food and reinforcements before withdrawing? What did you do in advance?"

"yes…"

After Ma Chao deliberately raised his voice and roared angrily, Huang Zhong, who was still very young, also made an expression of extreme grief and indignation.

"If there is no food? Wouldn't it be better to evacuate earlier? Now... my lord wants to evacuate, but each person only gets two days of food? We need to evacuate each department separately. Zilong, you can teach me how to use these two days of food... How can I take my brothers from Jingnan back? How many people will starve to death along the way? If the Xiahou thieves stop us and we run out of food and supplies... how many more people will die?"

Zhao Yun also frowned worriedly, and said sadly: "No one would have thought that the food in Shu...has not been delivered yet! The top priority is urgent, and there is no more control. We must withdraw our troops...withdraw immediately!"

Ugh…

Following Zhao Yun's words, Ma Chao and Huang Zhong let out a long sigh, as if an extremely frustrated emotion spread in their hearts, ready to come out.

However, almost at the same time, Fazheng, who was standing on the observation deck in the military camp, witnessed scenes of "uproar," "grievance," and "sadness and indignation" in front of him.

He couldn't help but sigh: "The morale and fighting spirit of the three armies dropped so quickly...the mood of the three armies also...hehe...hehe..."

At the end of the sentence, he curled up the corners of his mouth, then smiled lightly, and glanced around with the corner of his eyes.

He couldn't help but murmur in his heart:
"——It's so obvious. Those eyes...should be able to see, right?" 』

...

Almost at the same time.

Liu Bei walked out of the camp exhausted, only to see Zhang Fei and dozens of generals standing outside the camp.

Liu Bei looked a little stunned...

Zhang Fei stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, "Please allow me to retreat. Brother, I don't want to retreat. This 200,000-strong army has been dispatched without a single battle. If we retreat, we will be ridiculed by the world. I, Zhang Fei, would rather die in battle." I don’t want to make the world laugh!”

As they spoke, all the generals knelt down and said in unison: "Please, Lord, allow us to fight fiercely at Dingjun Mountain!"

Zhang Fei's son Zhang Bao was also unconvinced and said: "Uncle, let's fight. What if Dingjun Mountain is captured in these two days and Hanzhong is captured?"

Tears appeared in Liu Bei's eyes, and he said helplessly, "I persist until today. No one wants to fight more than me... But, 200,000 Shu troops, I brought them out and must take them back! A clever woman can't make a meal without rice, let alone I... this time, I can only say that God has not blessed me as a big man. I will have plenty of food this year and fight again in Dingjun Mountain next year!"

Zhang Fei cried out unwillingly, "Brother..."

Liu Bei turned around slowly and heavily, "Retreat. As I ordered, each army will evacuate separately, and evacuate immediately..."

Liu Bei turned around and went back to the tent. Zhang Fei's high-pitched voice came from outside the tent, "Brother, brother, I'm not willing to accept this! Even though I'm a rough man, I also know that if you go all out in one go, you'll fail again, and then you'll be exhausted... this If you don’t leave Hanzhong for once, then you’ll be relieved of your anger!”

On the other hand, Liu Bei in the big tent...

Because of the presence of the shadow, he deliberately staggered and looked depressed. He leaned on the desk and coughed painfully.

"Cough cough... cough cough cough..."

He covered his mouth, but the cough became louder. After a while, he put down his hands in excruciating pain. He stared at his hands silently. At this moment, his helpless and dazed figure was stretched into a long and narrow shape.

...

...

The sun was closing, and the sun was setting in the west. Xia Houyuan's hand was on the sword, and his hesitating figure stretched the shadow into a long and narrow shape.

Jia Xu narrowed his eyes and stared quietly at the narrow official road under Xiongguan Pass.

At this time, Xia Houheng ran away wildly, tripped and fell to the ground, but he didn't bother to get up. He raised his head and said with ecstasy, "Dad, Mr. Jia... the Shu army retreated, retreated..."

Xia Houyuan's sword fell to the ground, and his body swayed. It seemed that after several days of waiting, he was finally happy with the result, and he was filled with surprises.

Xia Houheng got up, supported Xia Houyuan, and quickly added, "Dad, it's true. I went to visit the camp myself... and saw with my own eyes that they broke camp and retreated to the west... The entire three armies were in chaos, and there was an uproar. Many soldiers' They were all complaining about the lack of food in the army. Even Liu Bei... According to Xi Zuo, he locked himself in the Chinese army's tent and stayed motionless for a long time without seeing anyone! Dad, without further ado, our opportunity has come! "

Chance…

The opportunity mentioned by Xia Houheng naturally refers to Jia Xu's plan, which involves sending out two troops, one to harass and one to intercept... He does not seek to fight hard, but only seeks to delay it for a few days. The Shu army will run out of food. Mutiny... anything can happen.

This is a strategy to capture Liu Bei in one go...

It is the key to Wei's comeback against the wind.

Xia Houyuan seemed very excited. With a "swish" sound, he immediately pulled out his sword and chanted: "Heaven helps me achieve this great achievement——"

Then, a loud horn sounded, and Xia Houyuan summoned all the soldiers to a meeting.

Seeing that these days of forbearance and waiting were about to bear fruit, his excitement and excitement were beyond words.

On the other hand, Jia Xu was the last to enter the meeting.

He is especially thinking...

——"With all the food and supplies running out, there won't be any more accidents, right?" 』

Xia Houyuan has already given the order loudly, "The spies have detected that the Shu army has broken into pieces and retreated. Our army should take advantage of the victory to pursue and hinder the retreat!"

"Where is General Zhang He? Where is General Xia Houheng?"

"The general is here!"

Zhang He and Xia Houheng came out...

"Zhang He, you lead 5,000 soldiers as the vanguard, Xia Houheng, you lead 20,000 soldiers behind to support you. You don't need to fight head-on, you just need to constantly harass the Shu army! The Shu army is disheartened and unable to fight anymore. I will personally lead the three Thousands of soldiers set out from Yangping Pass to guard the dangerous position and cut off their retreat! We will attack from both sides and completely consume all the food of the Shu army!"

"Yes!" Zhang He and Xia Houheng replied.

Just when the generals of each department were ordering their troops to lead the troops into battle...

"Report... urgent... urgent..."

A messenger hurried over and saw Xiahou Yuan walking out, his steps were like wind... The messenger couldn't care about anything else and immediately shouted: "Your Majesty has an urgent message. No matter how the Shu army moves, General Xiahou must not lead his troops out." close--"
