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

The flames of war burned, and countless people roared heart-breakingly.

Looking down from Jiutian, you can see the blend of black and red.

Six hundred Han troops wearing uniforms symbolizing the Han Dynasty's fierce virtue were like sharp swords, piercing straight into the fleeing Wei army formation.

The 40,000-strong army was torn apart in countless cracks in an instant, and these cracks were still deepening and expanding, like a dike that was eaten by ants and became riddled with holes in an instant.

Under the blessing of the "God's Punishment" and Zhao Yun's generosity and bravery.

Six hundred Han soldiers in ragged clothes, covered in blood, each carrying knives, spears, sticks, and sticks, were like hungry tigers attacking sheep, carrying knives to kill and destroy the ancients——

Here, there are no cries of sorrow from the weak, only the roar of the strong.

Such a small Han army, like a warship riding the wind and waves, roamed freely among the 40,000 Wei troops, and Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong... were the masts on the warship, guiding them.

Although the Wei army was outnumbered, they were frightened out of their wits!

They were afraid of Zhao Zilong, they were afraid of the Han army, but what they were more afraid of was the sudden divine punishment——

At this moment, the Han army suddenly seemed invincible.

With only two sticks of incense, this "unfair" battle ended with the defeat of the Wei army.

On the other hand, Zhao Yun and Ma Yunlu seemed to be wearing the same color armor at this time. The armor was dyed red and became extremely bright under the firelight.

...

"Tap!"

The morning light was dim, and the final battlefield cleanup was being done here. Just beside the Han River, Zhao Yun was covered in blood and walked over with heavy steps.

Here are a group of captured Wei troops, including Li Dian, Xia Houwei, and Xia Hourong.

Several soldiers pointed at them with spears.

Zhao Yun stood still, looking at them with cold eyes, and then asked the officer over there: "Where is Xu Huang?"

One of the officers said: "Only the three generals of the Wei army were captured, but Xu Huang was not found. However, Xu Huang was stabbed by the general, with many vital wounds. It was expected... that even if he escaped, he would not be able to recover in a short time. "

Zhao Yun nodded slightly.

He walked towards Xia Houwei and Xia Hourong step by step. These two young generals had never seen such a formation before.

In the past, it was their brothers who charged into battle. This time, they realized for the first time the cruelty of this battlefield, its ever-changing and unpredictable nature.

Yes, a battle, an ambush, a surprise attack, a small enemy against a large number, unparalleled bravery...even...even the mysterious divine punishment was revealed.

The two of them really knew each other a lot——

In the end, when they were captured by Zhao Yun, they actually felt a sense of relief.

It's like saying that the adult world is too vast and scary, and they just want to go home to find their mother!

Of course, don't even think about looking for your mother, but if you look for your sister or brother, you will be easily satisfied.

"Xia Houyuan's sons, Xia Houwei and Xia Hourong? Right?"

Following Zhao Yun's inquiry, the two men nodded tremblingly.

In fact, it no longer matters whether they admit it or not.

The important thing is that Zhao Yun smiled and faced them, "Get up and go to Chengdu. Your eldest sister and several of your brothers are all there..."

Daqing, Zhao Yun was thinking, this Xiahou family...except Xiahou Yuan will soon be reunited in Chengdu.

After talking about the Xiahou family, Zhao Yun walked to Li Dian's side again. At this time, blood was still oozing out of Li Dian's ribs, but it had been wrapped with a bandage, which simply stopped the heavy bleeding.

"Li Mancheng, long time no see—"

Zhao Yun greeted Li Dian. He knew Li Dian.

That was after Xu Shu defected to Liu Bei, Cao Cao sent Cao Ren, Li Dian, Lu Kuang, and Lu Xiang to attack him. During this period, Er Lu and Li Dian all fought against Zhao Yun, but only Li Dian survived.

In that battle, Li Dian fought Zhao Yun for ten rounds before he was defeated and escaped.

Who would have thought that after not seeing each other for more than ten years... Zhao Yun's marksmanship is now far better than before, and he, Li Dian, is not Zhao Yun's enemy!
Indeed, at that time, Zhao Yun was still practicing the one-hundred-and-eighth spear technique of Hundred Birds Chaofeng. This technique emphasized virtuality and reality, and used numerous feints to hide the final "shooting" move.

But now, Zhao Yun's Seven Exploration Coiled Snake Spear Technique has abandoned almost all the feints in the Hundred Birds Chaofeng Spear Technique, leaving only the twelve most practical killing moves!
This move was more than a hundred times more powerful than when he fought against Li Dian?
"I'm willing to give up..." Li Dian sighed, "Zhao Zilong, please don't say anything to persuade me to surrender. Three thousand of my family members are in Yecheng, so there is no way I can surrender!"

Hearing this, Zhao Yun nodded slightly.

Li Dian moved his tribe to Yecheng. Zhao Yun knew the story.

That was in the eleventh year of Jian'an, two years before the Battle of Chibi. Li Dian's family was extremely large... which aroused Cao Cao's fear, so Cao Cao tested Li Dian.

——‘Mancheng, do you want to imitate Geng Chun? 』

Geng Chun was a famous founding general of the Eastern Han Dynasty and one of the twenty-eight Yuntai generals of Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty.

Similar to the Li Dian family, the Geng family was also a powerful family. However, in order to reassure Liu Xiu, Geng Chun led more than 2,000 family guests to burn down the clan house to show that the whole family had surrendered and had no second thoughts.

How could Li Dian not understand what Cao Cao meant, so he immediately expressed his loyalty and moved 3,000 households, or more than 13,000 people, into Yecheng in exchange for Cao Cao's absolute trust.

It is precisely based on this that everyone is likely to surrender, but in the Wei Dynasty, Li Dian... is the one who is absolutely impossible to surrender.

Behind him are the lives of thirteen thousand clan members.

"Ugh…"

Following Li Dian's words, Zhao Yun let out a long sigh, but finally smiled with relief.

Li Dian asked: "Serving the country and killing the enemy, is it honorable to die? This is what a warrior belongs to, why are you laughing?"

"I wanted to say it's a pity..." Zhao Yun's faint laughter continued, "But Yun Qi told me that no matter whether it is Cao Wei's clan or a loyal servant like you Li Dian, sooner or later, the situation in Wei will be turbulent. We don’t want you to surrender, but you will rush to surrender, and you will even take the initiative to serve as the vanguard of the Han Dynasty to launch a general attack on Wei Wei!”

Well…

When Zhao Yun recited these words, Li Dian was in a daze. He looked horrified. He was indeed horrified. He felt that what Zhao Yun said, no... what the so-called Guan Lin Guan Yunqi mentioned was a paradox. , is a situation that is impossible to achieve in any case.

"Are you bluffing me?"

"What are you trying to do?" In sharp contrast to Li Dian's doubts, Zhao Yun was very determined. He smiled and said to Li Dian, "You don't know yet, but even your surprise attack in this battle was already anticipated by Yun Qi. , this is destined to be a battle with less to win more, and in this battle in Hanzhong, the Han army will definitely win——"

Zhao Yun's determined tone made Li Dian a little confused...

He didn't know where Zhao Yun got such confidence? What is he confident about?
But at this moment...

"Zilong, Zilong..."

From a distance, I heard Zhang Fei's loud and loud voice, "You fought so majesticly in this battle! It has to be you, seven in and seven out, full of courage——"

Behind Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Zhuge Ke, and a group of soldiers were rushing towards this direction.

Zhao Yun hurriedly greeted him and said humbly, "Yide Miao praised me, how can this be my credit? This is clearly..."

Speaking of this, Zhao Yun looked at Huang Zhong.

Although he didn't know, how could it explode in the air? But he clearly saw that the arrows that caused the explosion were shot by General Huang Zhong and Huang.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yun was a little scared. If there was no such "God's punishment", then... the current battlefield would be a different situation.

However, Zhao Yun wanted to direct the credit to Huang Zhong, but he never thought that Huang Zhong stroked his long beard and laughed loudly, "Zilong? Why are you being modest? Yide said it well, you Zhao Zilong are full of courage -"

...

Over there, three of the future five tiger generals have gathered.

In this compartment, Ma Chao, who had finally waited for this great victory, couldn't bear the tear in his wound and the exhaustion of his body, so he sat down completely. Even so, he was still a little shaky.

Ma Yunlu walked to him, knelt down, supported him, and called softly: "Brother..."

In fact, at this time, Ma Yunlu's body and clothes were covered in blood, and the dried blood clots looked a bit scary.

But she didn't know whether it was luck or Zhao Yun's thorough escorting of him. The blood on her body was from the enemy, but she herself was not injured. Even at this moment, she was still smiling.

It seemed like he was enjoying the great victory.

"Still laughing?" Ma Chao showed a hint of anger and scolded: "Then Zhao Zilong doesn't want his life, and you don't want his life too? There are tens of thousands of Wei soldiers, and you two... dare... too?"

Ma Chao was really worried about his sister. Originally, in addition to his sister Ma Yunlu, he had four younger brothers. However, in May of the 17th year of Jian'an, both brothers Ma Xiu and Ma Tie were hunted down by Cao Cao! One of the other two younger brothers was killed by Han Sui, and the other was captured by Cao Cao, and they remained alive and dead.

And because, no matter what the reason or experience, it was ultimately because of Ma Chao's decision that his father and these younger brothers died in a foreign country.

This reputation of "unfilial piety" that he carried always tortured him, until...it wasn't until Guan Lin's trustee brought some words that he could be relieved! It cleared him of that long-standing grievance.

It is precisely for this reason that Ma Chao attaches great importance to his sister Ma Yunlu and does not want her to make any mistakes.

"Brother, there's no need to worry about me. I'm not okay...Master Zilong's marksmanship is so powerful, how can he allow those rats to hurt me?"

In sharp contrast to Ma Chao's slight anger and nervousness.

Ma Yunlu seemed very happy, as if she was showing off to her brother, no...she was showing off to her brother Master Zilong, who protected her so well, and showing off the throbbing and ecstasy in her heart.

How could Ma Chao not see what Ma Yunlu was thinking.

I could only sigh, "You... don't do this again!"

Ma Yunlu shook his head, "No! Brother...how did you know that there is nothing more enjoyable than for my sister to fight side by side with Master Zilong."

This…

Ma Yunlu's words left Ma Chao speechless. The eldest brother is like a father. At this time, what else can he lament other than lamenting that "women are not allowed to stay"?

Just when Ma Chao was deep in thought.

"Meng Qi..."

Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Zhuge Ke and others have already arrived.

"Will we arrange the evacuation of you wounded soldiers today?"

"What about you?" Ma Chao raised his eyes, "Are you injured too?"

"It's just a minor injury..." Zhao Yun replied, turning around and exchanging glances with Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, and Zhuge Ke. He smiled and said, "Yuan Xun brought some weapons that can cut iron as hard as clay. The steel gun made especially for me makes my hands itchy and tight——"

It seems that Zhao Yun still wants to fight again!
He has not yet completed his mission. He has not yet helped the protagonist Liu Bei capture Hanzhong City according to the development in "Yunbie Zhuan".

However, when Ma Yunlu heard that Zhao Yun was going to stay and continue fighting, she became interested.

"What steel gun?"

"Do you have one of mine?"

...

...

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa-"

An angry roar came from the government office in Yangping Pass, followed by the sound of tea cups breaking, tables being overturned, and all decorations being smashed to the ground.

Even at night, the sound was extremely loud and deafening.

This sound was made by Cao Cao.

Just now, he had already fallen asleep, but the latest information came from the bank of Han River at the foot of Naba Mountain.

Then...for Cao Cao, that damn information is really damn——

Cao Cao's blood immediately surged, and he was so angry that he drew his sword and wanted to cut the scout who reported the news in half.

This is a fight!

What a shame!
Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, especially Ma Chao who was injured and unable to fight anymore!
There are thousands of enemies! What’s more, more than 70% of the soldiers were injured!

Just this...just this battle, they defeated 30,000 soldiers sent by Xiahou Yuan, including 10,000 soldiers sent by Cao Cao.

Even Li Dian, Xia Houwei, and Xia Hourong were all captured.

Xu Huang has returned, but he has six bullet holes all over his body. Although he is not fatal, he is still in a coma. According to the medical officer, with such trauma... he is expected to never go to the battlefield again in his lifetime.

Rout!

What a rout!

A catastrophic rout—

"How did this damn battle happen?" With a "clang" sound, Cao Cao slammed the sword in his hand to the ground this time. His face was distorted to the extreme, and he ignored the faint pain on his forehead. , because...the anger in his heart has been filled, and every breath is like a roar from deep in his chest, as if all the dissatisfaction and anger are about to burst out.

"boom…"

With another punch, Cao Cao's fist hit the window paper hard. The entire window shook and a big hole was made.

And with this punch, the entire office seemed to be shaking, and the trembling sound echoed in the air, which was shocking.

"Rice buckets, does this great Wei Jing raise a bunch of rice buckets?"

"A Changshan Zhao Zilong had already deeply humiliated me when he was in Changbanpo. But this time, he slapped me in the face again. He didn't feel sad, he just felt ashamed. For you big guys, Shame on the brave warriors of Wei!"

The low and hoarse sound was louder and heavier.

Every word spoken by Cao Cao was like a cold threat squeezed out from between his teeth, making all the civil and military personnel present shudder and feel ashamed!
Under this extreme anger, Cao Cao seemed to have turned into a ferocious and terrifying lion, his whole body full of dangerous aura.

"Your Majesty..."

After being silent for a long time, Jia Xu couldn't help but open his mouth and said: "In recent times, the Shu army in Bashan has been full of evil. First, the 60,000 Yangpingguan soldiers were completely wiped out, and then the 40,000 brave cavalry were defeated... When they came back, the soldiers were already talking about it, even talking about some kind of divine punishment..."

Logically speaking, Jia Xu shouldn't say these things.

This is completely opposite to his self-protective character, but at this time, someone must tell the truth, otherwise... Da Wei will be completely finished.

"God's punishment?" Sure enough, Jia Xu's words attracted Cao Cao's special attention. He squinted and pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Tell me, what kind of heaven's punishment?"

Jia Xu continued: "Both times, the sudden explosions from the sky caused the soldiers to panic, and then they lost all will to fight and were defeated immediately... Therefore, the soldiers were talking about it, saying that the emperor was no longer in Wei. The orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty was reshaped... Wei went against the will of heaven, so he was punished by heaven! He also said... He also said..."

Jia Xu was obviously hesitant.

Cao Cao stared at him directly, "Regardless of whether it's true or false, tell me everything."

"It is rumored that... Your Majesty, your position as King of Wei and this Seal of King Wei are no longer tenable -"

With Jia Xu's last sentence.

In anger, Cao Cao actually raised his "Jade Seal of the King of Wei" high and wanted to smash it down hard. His eyes widened angrily, "I never believe these words of gods and ghosts!"

He was so angry that he wanted to smash the jade seal, but in the end, he took it back.

He calmed down for a while and said in deep thought: "This King of Wei was granted the title by the emperor, and this jade seal was also given by the emperor. When did I go against the will of heaven? Even if there is a divine punishment, it will not be my turn. But this explosion, haha ...It's probably just a dirty trick developed by Guan Jiazi! Fool Gu, does he really think that Gu and Dawei's warriors are all three-year-olds?"

Having said this, Cao Cao forcibly propped himself up and stood upright, "According to the military order of Chuan Gu, in the Bashan, the armies formed groups of three and three and rushed to support each other. If they encountered the Shu army, there would be a strange explosion in the air, and the others, As usual... we will kill these traitors without mercy——"

"Here..."

Following Cao Cao's final instructions, all the civil and military personnel surrendered and retreated.

After all, it was Cao Cao who took everything on his own. He couldn't lose his composure, he couldn't show his cowardice, he had to show the majesty of King Wei as always, the majesty of Wei!

After everyone retreated... only Jia Xu and Zhang Wei were left in the official office.

Cao Cao breathed out and lay down as if deflated. Jia Xu and Zhang Wei quickly went to help him.

However, Cao Cao asked in a small voice: "Wen He, how many troops and horses are still stationed in Hanzhong?"

"After calculation, there should be fifty thousand left..." Jia Xu said roughly.

"Ask Zhong Yao to leave three thousand men to guard the city, and send all the others." Cao Cao directly ordered...

what…

Jia Xu was stunned.

Cao Cao went on to say, "It doesn't matter. North of Hanzhong and across the Qinling Mountains is Guanzhong, which is Gu's territory. To the east of Hanzhong are Shangyong and Fangling counties. Wenlie is stationed there, and the recent news is that everything is fine... But for Bashan, if I can't swallow this big-eared thief this time, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to swallow him again!"

Cao Cao seemed to have felt a touch of physical and mental exhaustion. This was the last give-and-take at this age, and he felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

How could Jia Xu understand Cao Cao's thoughts? He immediately gave up.

"Well, I will ask Zhong Yao to mobilize 45,000 Wei troops -"

Having said this, Cao Cao turned his attention to Zhang Wei again, "I am afraid that I will have to borrow someone from you this time..."

Zhang Wei quickly handed over his hand. "It is the honor of me and the Five Pecks of Rice Sect to be able to ride for the king!"

Cao Cao's eyes were gloomy, "I know that there are still tens of thousands of followers of the Five Dou Rice Sect in Hanzhong. I want you to take it out. If this stalemate continues, I will defeat Liu Bei's old camp in one fell swoop and let all the Shu thieves in Bashan be defeated." Homeless!”

When he said this, Cao Cao's pupils showed a cold light...

The war in the Central Plains is not going well. He...he can only give it a try now. If both sides lose, then the Wei...the Wei will be gone!

"Your Majesty..." Zhang Wei hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded: "Your Majesty, rest assured. Within ten days, I can gather 70,000 followers of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect in Hanzhong and arrive at the front line to serve Your Majesty—"

"well…"

After hearing Zhang Wei's words, Cao Cao finally felt a sense of relief.

Zhang Wei seemed to suddenly think of something, "I boldly advise the king. At this time, the Southern Barbarians should use their strength... If Chengdu is attacked before the decisive battle, then the Shu army..."

Before Zhang Wei could finish speaking, Cao Cao sighed, "How could I not know? But Zhongde sent news that the daughter of the Southern Barbarians had arrived in Chengdu, but the Southern Barbarians' army remained stationary..."

"Your Majesty..." At this time, Jia Xu's eyes were fixed, and he rarely interrupted: "This old minister has a plan for the southern barbarian invasion!"

"What?" Cao Cao and Zhang Wei looked at Jia Xu at the same time.

Jia Xu said unhurriedly. "What if the Nanman King's daughter died in Chengdu? Can the Nanman King still stand still? Let's take a look at the life of this barbarian woman and Liu Bei's life. Who is tougher?"

As soon as this statement comes out…

Cao Cao's eyes suddenly widened, so much so that he subconsciously turned his head to Zhang Wei's.

The implication is self-evident.

"It's a clever plan to kill barbarian women and attract trouble from the south -"

"Zhang Dajiu, there are people from the Five Dou Rice Sect lurking in Chengdu! Is that right?"

...
