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

Attack, captured——

Hanoi was captured so easily!

All the Wei soldiers were confused, because... they felt that it shouldn't be done.

At least, it shouldn't be captured so easily!

Because, in the past two years, although they have been stationed at the border, they have heard news from the Central Plains. The rumors about Guan Lin, the fourth son of the Guan family... are about to be mythical, and his wits are like a ghost...

Therefore, it is unreasonable to capture Hanoi so easily.

But Cao Zhang, who cares so much?

As the third son of the Cao family, he has a bright future and has made many military exploits on the border in recent years. He is the one with the most outstanding military exploits among the sons of the Cao family!

Others may be afraid of Guan Lin, but in his eyes, he is just a son of the Guan family. His father Guan Yu... Cao Zhang are not afraid, so why be afraid of him?
Dawei Huangxuer? Is this a false reputation?
"Charge in and seize every door, but any Han troops who resist will be killed without mercy——"

Cao Zhang was riding on a tall horse, and he roared loudly.

More and more Wei troops poured into Hanoi City, and more and more Han flags were removed. The entire city was covered with banners with the word Wei. These banners were fluttering in the wind and shining brightly in the sun.

It was Cao Zhang's think tank Tian Yu. He noticed something was wrong here...

"General, as far as I know... Guan Lin is very good at conspiracy. Now... he can break the city so easily, so why should we be more careful?"

Facing Tian Yu's doubts, Cao Zhang asked: "Easy? You said it was easy to destroy the city?"

Having said this, he waved his hand and said, "Tell our Commander Tian how many brothers we have lost by destroying Hanoi City."

At this time, Cao Zhang's lieutenant, Pinglu Xiaowei, Qianzhao, reported truthfully: "Currently, rough statistics show that nearly 7,000 people have been lost...The number of ordnance, war horses, and ladders lost cannot be estimated..."

As he spoke these words, Cao Zhang's voice suddenly rose, "A hundred thousand people surrounded a city of more than ten thousand people. With such a disparity in strength, more than seven thousand soldiers and armor were lost? Mr. Tian? You told me it was easy?"

This…

Tian Yu was speechless immediately. He didn't expect... this seemingly easy and seemingly lightning-fast siege.

So many soldiers and horses were lost in the end!
But... just for a moment, he felt something was wrong. Because of the name "Guan Lin", he suddenly felt that the loss of only 7,000 people was still too easy.

Just as Tian Yu was about to open his mouth to continue his persuasion, Cao Zhang had already driven his horse forward, shouting with him: "It's useless to talk more. All officers and men, please follow me into the city -"

For a moment, Cao Zhang's bright red cloak draped behind the horse, looking majestic.

At this moment, he looked like a winner.

Similarly, Tian Yu knew at this time that Cao Zhang... couldn't listen to any advice.

"Ugh…"

Inexplicably, deep worries always well up in his heart, but Tian Yu can't tell what this worry is.

Qianzhao advised him, "Don't think too much about the country's surrender...Now that the Wei Dynasty is attacking Luoyang in three directions, Guan Lin is not a god. He cares about one thing and loses another. It is understandable that he cannot defend Hanoi."

"That's not what I meant..." Tian Yu explained, but his left eyelid kept twitching, "I don't know why, but I always have an unknown premonition... I always feel that Hanoi City is not that simple!"

Qianzhao explained: "However, this is what we paid for with the lives of 7,000 soldiers. Our Wei army... especially these cavalry are still good at field battles and not good at attacking fortresses... It is expected that even if Guan Lin deploys defenses, he should focus on the defense line. Let’s focus on Luoyang City!”

"I hope so-" Tian Yu still couldn't figure it out, and in the end he could only nod slightly, and followed Cao Zhang into the city with Qian Zhao.

On the other hand, Fu Shiren at this time, the army withdrew from Hanoi City, and he personally stood behind it.

Looking at the Hanoi city from a distance, only the banner with the word "Wei" was changing, and no troops were sent to chase them out, he felt much more at ease, but he did not forget to advise his soldiers, "Don't be excited, don't be excited, run slowly." , run slowly, those Wei soldiers are not chasing you, why are you running so fast?"

There is no general in the world who can escape in such a mood.

His overflowing joy was almost written all over his face.

It seemed like the city was lost and the battle was lost, but he was ten times or a hundred times happier than if he had won the battle!
What is rejoicing?
Fu Shiren's expression at this moment can be called joyful——

...

...

At the west end of Luoyang City, Ling Tong, Gan Ning, and Lu Xun were all there. They stared at the calm but surging official road outside the city.

At this time, the sound of "treading" footsteps sounded from behind, and Guan Lin stepped up the steps.

"Master——"

With a chorus of shouts, Guan Lin walked straight up the tower and to the city wall. The breeze came slowly, blowing gently on his face. However, the stronger the wind, the colder it radiated and the murderous intent was threatening.

"Young Master..." A personal guard whispered in Guan Lin's ear, reporting: "Everything at Hulao Pass is going according to plan. Zhang Liao's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses retreated thirty miles to set up camp, but they sent a lot of exploration horses back and forth. On the mountain road of Hulao Pass!"

Hearing this, Guan Lin just nodded slightly and didn't pay any particular attention.

His eyes were looking towards the official road in the northwest of Luoyang as always.

Not long after, in the official channels, Hanoi's "defeated army" had already withdrawn to Luoyang.

All of them seemed a little depressed.

Of course, except for Fu Shiren, the other soldiers did not know the inside story. They only thought that it was because of their own incompetence that they failed to defend the city of Hanoi and failed to recreate the past glory of the Fu family army.

Even Ling Tong and Gan Ning didn't look good. They thought... this was just a "normal" defeat.

Apart from Guan Lin, Lu Xun was the only one who squinted his eyes, then looked at his nose, and his nose looked at his heart, as if he could see everything in his eyes and understand everything in his heart.

Just like those five words - see through but don't tell!

"Hu" was accompanied by a quiet exhale. Guan Lin was about to sigh with emotion at this situation.

Who would have thought that at this moment, the sound of "tapping" footsteps sounded again, but it was Fu Shiren who had already climbed onto the tower, his steps extremely eager.

"Third brother, third brother..."

Fu Shiren, who had lost the battle, was not at all depressed and dejected. He climbed up the tower with high spirits and said, "How was it? Brother, did you fight well in this battle? Was it beautiful?"

what…

Fu Shiren's words made Ling Tong, Gan Ning, Mi Lu and others confused.

What's going on here? After defeating the battle... everyone can understand if you are in a bad mood, but as soon as Fang climbed onto the tower, he was so excited. Isn't he exciting and pretty? What's wrong? Is this city not wonderful? Isn’t it beautiful that your Fu family’s army was defeated?
This is... what is going on?
Fu Shiren, on the other hand, seemed to live in a different world from these generals. The more he talked, the more excited he became.

"I defended the city and released enough water to fill the Luo River. Even so, I only lost less than 500 people, but I killed thousands of Wei soldiers. Hahaha, that's what Cao Cao said Huang Xuer is not that good either! Dare, I will go all out to defend, I am not bragging, facing ten times the enemy, it is impossible to defend Hanoi City for a year and a half! "

Release water?

The water released can fill the Luo River.

These words shocked the civil and military officials on the tower...

At this time, Guan Lin spoke, but he did not answer Fu Shiren. He raised his eyes towards the sky, as if he was looking forward to the coming dusk: "The Wei army suffered such casualties, and they marched for several days and fought hard for half a day. The city must be very tired and sleepy!"

Guan Lin was sighing, but Fu Shiren was careless and waved his hand, "Who cares about them? Anyway, after this night, I won't wake up!"

"Ha ha…"

Fu Shiren's words directly made Guan Lin and Lu Xun laugh in unison.

Ling Tong, Gan Ning, Mi Lu and the others seemed to have noticed something...

I dare say that in Hanoi City, the battles during the day are just a small test, and the real trump card is late at night.

hiss…

Several people couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, and their hearts suddenly began to look forward to this night.

What will happen?

...

...

"——But they have flying balls. How could Fancheng be so wary back then? Third Young Master...haven't you heard of it?" Dusk was approaching, and in the lobby of the government office in Hanoi City, Tian Yu's voice startled the people who were sitting there. Birds returning to their nest.

His expression was extremely solemn, and he looked extremely nervous and worried.

The reason for this is that just now, his proposal to divide the army into three and camp outside Hanoi City except the Chinese army was directly rejected by Cao Zhang.

It was precisely based on this that Tian Yu became extremely angry and yelled at Cao Zhang angrily.

"Mr. Tian, ​​this general has said it countless times..." Cao Zhang met Tian Yu's condensed face and roared angrily: "My general is always watching the situation in the sky from a hundred steps outside. The gates in the entire four directions are open, and everyone All the garrison troops are already familiar with the routes out of the city. Not to mention that there is no flying ball air attack in Luoyang City. Even if there is, our army can respond immediately! "

Having said this, Cao Zhang punched the table, "Besides, you are all afraid of this flying ball, but I am not afraid. I have specifically asked the soldiers who have witnessed this flying ball, and the conclusion I got is that this flying ball The movement speed is not fast. The reason why Fancheng joined forces with the beacon fire is to prevent flooding and block the entire city gate... leaving tens of thousands of soldiers with nowhere to escape! The general has already taken precautions against this, but you are still clamoring to leave the city to garrison? …Then the flying ball can attack the city of Hanoi with air, but it can’t attack the military stronghold outside the city?”

Cao Zhang responded to Tian Yu's words with reason.

Tian Yu was still unwilling to give in, "Third Young Master...The most terrifying thing about Guan Lin is not the flying ball, nor the repeating crossbow, nor the thunderbolt ten ox crossbow...but...but...the endless ones that we don't know...are Our unknown weapons! How did General Pound die? How did Soochow die? Third Young Master, it was not the weapons that destroyed them, but... everything was unknown!

Undoubtedly, Tian Yu is more energetic and able to peel off cocoons from past battles... to discover the key to the problem.

However, it was impossible for Cao Zhang to agree with his rhetoric.

"Humph…"

With a cold snort, Cao Zhang said angrily: "Then according to what you say, we can just huddle in Jizhou and wait for him, Guan Lin, to encroach on my territory of the Wei Dynasty step by step?"

At this point, Cao Zhang suddenly raised his voice, "I'm afraid of the enemy like a tiger... so why fight? Also hit me with a hammer! Just go back and sleep with that little girl in your arms. Wouldn't it be lighter and more enjoyable?"

Uh…

After being yelled at by Cao Zhang, he didn't know whether it was because of the intimidation in his words or whether it was somewhat reasonable. Tian Yu was speechless for a moment.

After pondering for a long time, he finally opened his mouth and said: "Being on guard against others is indispensable. If the general insists on stationing in the city, then... then the general will take all his troops to station outside the city. If there is no accident, it is best, even if there is an accident. , we can help each other even if we are horns inside and outside the city!”

"Where do you want to go?" Cao Zhang was still angry, "What's the matter? Without you, would this general be unable to conquer Luoyang City?"

This…

Tian Yu wanted to persuade him again, but Cao Zhang had already changed the subject, "Come here, go and ask Zhang Wenyuan's army in Hulao, and Cao Zhen and Jiang Wei's army in Guanzhong. Where have they gone? How far away are the three armies from encircling Luoyang? If they delay the day, don’t blame me, Cao Zhang, for being ruthless——"

At this moment, Cao Zhang's tiger eyes condensed, and his domineering power leaked out.

"Ugh!"

On the other hand, Tian Yu could only sigh deeply. He was a stubborn general, a young master who did not listen to advice, and his soldiers were helpless.

...

...

The moonlight was dim, and Hanoi City seemed surprisingly quiet at night.

Having said that, a month ago, Cao Zhang finally got the approval of his father, Cao Cao, after asking for help countless times, allowing him to mobilize a hundred thousand troops from the border to Hanoi.

Whether it was for meritorious service, to show off himself in front of his father, or... for the position of heir apparent to the Wei Dynasty, Cao Zhang led his army southward under the stars and night, just to cross the border as soon as possible. Cross Luoshui and fight to the river.

Cao Zhang killed three horses, but his soldiers almost broke their legs.

Before resting, the warships that had been prepared in Bingzhou were already crossing the river. There was no extra truce... Cao Zhang immediately ordered an attack on Hanoi.

Due to the disparity in military strength, the city... was certainly captured.

But among the 100,000 Wei troops, seven thousand fell, and none of the survivors had the energy to enjoy the joy after the victory.

Everyone has already fallen asleep... The entire city of Hanoi seems to be shrouded in a sea of ​​sleepiness.

On the contrary... at least 20% of the soldiers were not allowed to sleep. Cao Zhang ordered them to stand firm everywhere. There were no less than 2,000 Wei soldiers watching the flying balls in the sky. There were even some who were ready to wake up the Wei army at any time and guide the Wei army out of the city. Speaking of which... Although Tian Yu questioned Cao Zhang's garrison, Cao Zhang thought of everything he could think of during the garrison.

now…

Yan Rou and Qianzhao were talking to Cao Zhang in the official camp.

The command was reported truthfully, "Tian Junshang led his ten thousand troops to station twenty miles east of Hanoi..."

When the conversation came about Tian Yu, Yan Rou wanted to say something, but she swallowed it when it reached her lips.

Cao Zhang, on the other hand, seemed to be less angry after a period of time. He let out a long breath of "huh", and then sighed: "After calming down, I also thought about it, Mr. Tian It's also for my own good, because I'm worried about Guan Si's conspiracy. Over the past two years, many people in the Wei Dynasty have suffered a lot from this conspiracy! But... in the past two years, we in the Wei Dynasty have learned some tricks! Sir, you are right to worry, but we cannot be afraid of the enemy... We must be on guard, but we must fight when we need to, and we cannot retreat!"

After Cao Zhang said this, Yan Rou and Qianzhao looked at each other, and then they both held their hands.

"The general said..."

After talking about this topic, Cao Zhang asked: "What's going on with Zi Dan and General Zhang Wenyuan?"

Yan Rou reported truthfully: "I just received a letter from General Zidan in the evening, saying that it is only three days' journey from Hanoi City... There is no news yet from General Zhang Wenyuan, but thinking about it, it shouldn't be Ah...According to the agreed date, General Zhang Wenyuan should arrive at Hulao Pass today...If Fei Ge sent the message, the news should be the first to arrive!"

Hearing Yan Rou's confusion, Qianzhao added, "Perhaps General Wenyuan encountered some rain and mud obstruction on the road, which delayed him!"

"No!" Cao Zhen said categorically, "General Wenyuan is one of the five good generals of the Wei Dynasty conferred by his father. In my opinion, he is the first of these five good generals, and he deserves it... This kind of promised offensive Ordinary generals would not be delayed by rain and mud, let alone him? "

At this point, Cao Zhen couldn't help but put his chin in his hands and tried to analyze: "Could it be that these Han troops set up an ambush outside Hulao Pass? Did General Wenyuan encounter a surprise attack?"

This analysis only appeared for a moment, and Cao Zhen quickly shook his head.

He said categorically, "No! Except for Guan Yu, no one in the entire Han army will be a match for General Wenyuan! Surprise attack and ambush him? Haha, it's a dead end!"

Cao Zhang was conceited, but this so-called conceitedness... would mean nothing if it were in front of Zhang Liao.

There are not many generals in the Wei army that he admires. Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan are the ones he admires the most——

"The general said so, but Guan Yu... really didn't show up!" Qianzhao couldn't help scratching his head and guessing suspiciously. "Maybe it's really General Wenyuan who Guan Yunchang blocked?"

Don't tell me, Cao Zhang's reasoning really makes sense.

"In that case, it's no wonder that the Han army in Hanoi fell... Haha, all three groups attacked together, and even Guan Yunchang paid attention to one thing but not the other! Ah... hahahahaha!"

Cao Zhang couldn't help laughing.

At this moment...a messenger outside stumbled into the main hall of the official office, but was stopped by Cao Zhang's personal guards.

"Who are you? Do you know who is inside -"

"I...I am the messenger of General Zhang Wenyuan of Zhengdong. I have a special urgent message to present to General Cao!"

The messenger's voice was stumbling, and it was clear that there was great fear and fear in his words...

"Let him in."

Cao Zhang gave an order.

But he saw the messenger staggering into the main hall, his whole person was weak, as if more than half of his soul was lost.

"What? You rushed eight hundred miles and lost all your souls?"

Cao Zhang also joked to the messenger with great interest.

Who would have thought that the messenger said directly: "Third Young Master... Third Young Master... General Zhang has something to tell me to bring... without delay."

"Say what? What?"

Cao Zhang turned around and looked at the sword placed on the table, but thought in his heart.

——"At most, was he ambushed by Guan Yunchang? Don't be afraid, he only has one Guan Yunchang, he only cares about one thing and not the other! 』

Cao Zhang thinks so...

The words of the messenger came one after another, "General Zhang said...General Zhang said, said...Speak of Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang, run, run -"

...
