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

Chapter 8
In the morning light, the thin shadow of the sun cast into the yard, and Guan Yu's five sons and daughters gathered together, but after careful counting, it seemed that there were only four present, and one less.

Guan Yu naturally noticed it.

Among the sons in front of me, from left to right, are the eldest son Guan Ping, the second son Guan Xing, the third daughter Guan Yan (named Yinping), and the fifth son Guan Suo. Who else is missing besides the fourth son Guan Lin?
Guan Yu's expression didn't change, but his eyes lowered a little.

As if, because Guan Lin didn't show up, he was slightly angry.

Speaking of it, Guan Yu is definitely not a loving father, he has always been strict with his children.

Because of his admiration for martial arts, he has a tighter grasp of martial arts, but this by no means means that Guan Yu will relax the "literary talents" of his children.

Different from martial arts, Guan Yu sent his sword-wielding general Zhou Cang to them as a martial artist.

In terms of literary talent, the master Guan Yu chose for them was Liao Jiugong, the father of Liao Hua, a prominent family in Jingzhou.

According to legend, even when Zhuge Junshi lived in seclusion in Nanyang, he once visited Liao Jiugong to ask him about the way to govern the country.

It can be said that since a long time ago, Guan Yu had placed high hopes on these children.

Among the five children, Guan Ping, the oldest, is 35 years old and has been fighting with him for many years, while Guan Suo, the youngest, has just turned thirteen.

The difference is that Guan Ping is always written as Guan Yu's adopted son in the interpretation.

Guan Ping in history was born to Guan Yu, but his mother was not Mrs. Hu, it's a mystery!
Of course, because Guan Ping was raised by Guan Yu himself, generally speaking, he is quite satisfied, and he also hopes that the other three sons and one daughter can be as outstanding as Guan Ping.

It's just... there seems to be a tendency to "grow crookedly"!

"Where's Lin'er?"

Guan Yu asked with a straight face.

Zhou Cang on the side hurriedly confessed: "The last general has already sent someone to urge him, and the fourth son will be here soon."

The fourth son Guan Lin...

Hehe, Guan Yu sneered in his heart, and said to himself: "Is this what you call 'learning martial arts can't save a big man'?"

Can you be late for such a solemn exam?With you, can you save the big man?
Guan Yu sat down on the stool in silence.

The expressions of a group of children are different, such as Guan Suo, he is sweating for the fourth brother!He even regretted that he shouldn't have gone looking for Fourth Brother late at night last night...

On weekdays, the fourth brother can't get up early, let alone talked for a long time last night, and now... most of them are still sleeping soundly in bed!
Guan Xing and Guan Yinping had a silent expression, as if they had nothing to do with themselves.

The two of them have always been indifferent to trivial matters, but "martial arts"... can make them persistent!

Guan Ping, on the other hand, has the tightest eyebrows. Over the years... his father is strict. Often times, as the eldest brother, he has to show a 'loving' side and care more about these younger siblings.

Exactly, because of yesterday's incident, the fourth brother has already provoked his father's anger, and today...he is late again...

Guan Ping inevitably fell into a huge worry about his fourth brother Guan Lin.

After about a cup of tea...

Guan Lin came late, and his behavior was a bit lazy and sleepy. He was used to sleeping until he woke up naturally. If the guards hadn't called him, he would still be in a dream!

But seeing Guan Yu, Guan Lin seemed to be a little more energetic.

Having said that, this was the first time he saw Guan Yu.

——Guan Gong, alive!
It seems... the majesty and burlyness are far inferior to the nine-meter-high and two-ton Guan Gong statue in Xiangyang City.

Also, that iconic green hat always makes Guan Lin fantasize.

This image is too green to panic.

Looking at Guan Lin's expression, Guan Yu could naturally guess that he must have been shouted from under the quilt by the guards.

Ha ha…

Guan Yu sneered in his heart, whether learning martial arts can save the big man, maybe there are still doubts?But learning martial arts can at least help him develop a good habit of going to bed early and getting up early!
--"snort!"

There was a cold snort in his heart, but Guan Yu would not show such trivial matters on his face, and raised his hand slightly, motioning for Guan Lin to come in.

Guan Lin scratched his head and knelt down in front of his desk.

I told you yesterday... the exam in the morning is "Wen"!
On the table in front of the four sons and one daughter, there is a bamboo slip with the content of the exam.

The exam questions were given by Liao Jiugong, and they were all things that happened or are happening recently, and they were regarded as practical exams.

The first question is a multiple choice question.

The background is that Liu Bei, the left general of the Han Dynasty, borrowed Jingzhou from Jiangdong. After entering Shu, Jiangdong sent an envoy Zhuge Jin to Bashu to ask Liu Bei to return Jingzhou.

Liu Bei's answer was "Our plan is for Liangzhou, and Liangzhou is settled, so I will give Jingzhou as my ear", which means that Jingzhou will be returned after taking Liangzhou;

Zhuge Jin was displeased, so he asked Zhuge Liang again, and Zhuge Liang proposed a compromise method, using the "Xiang River" as the boundary, Nanjun, Wuling, and Lingling near Bashu belonged to Liu Bei, and Jiangxia, Changsha, and Guiyang near Jiangdong belonged to Sun Quan.

This is the famous "Xiang River Demarcation" in history...

After getting such an answer, Zhuge Jin returned with satisfaction.

But that's where the problem lies.

This matter... was decided by Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jin, Liu Bei did not express his opinion, and Guan Yu who was stationed in Jingzhou did not receive any letters about the delivery of the three counties of 'Jiangxia, Changsha, and Guiyang'.

So here comes the question, in these three counties, should Guan Gong be handed over or not?
This question was tested to a very high standard, even Liao Jiugong, the author of the question, did not have the correct answer, but it was precisely this kind of question that best tested the students' judgment on the current situation and their control over the situation.

When Guan Yu saw this question early in the morning, he nodded again and again, very satisfied.

The second question is more straightforward. It has been a long time since Cao Jun and Jiangdong Army have confronted each other in Hefei.

Recently, Sun Quan mobilized troops and horses in a big way, and sent generals such as Lu Meng, Chen Wu, Gan Ning, Ling Tong, Pan Zhang, Song Qian, Xu Sheng, Ding Feng, Jiang Qin, He Qi, etc. to his side, and even assembled an army of one hundred thousand. He personally led the army and launched the most violent attack on Hefei.

In this battle in Hefei, who wins and who loses?

Where will Jingzhou go?

If the first question is about combining vertical and horizontal, it is a study and judgment of the situation;

Then the second question is about the deduction of the battlefield, which is the prediction of the command!
Guan Yu raised his hand slightly, and the four sons and one daughter began to answer. Even Guan Lin, who had just woken up, raised his spirits solemnly and followed the lead with his pen.

This made Guan Yu feel a little more relieved.

It seems... I don't know when, such an outrageous idea appeared in Guan Yu's heart.

As long as Guan Lin doesn't turn in a blank paper, he, Guan Yu, should be "consoled by the old man"!

And at this moment...a schoolboy walked in quickly, whispering something in Zhou Cang's ear.

Startled, Zhou Cang quickly lowered his head and brought his mouth to Guan Yu's ear.

It turned out that Zhuge Jin, the Jiangdong envoy, came to fulfill the agreement between Jiangdong and Zhuge Liang, and took back the three counties of Jiangxia, Changsha, and Guiyang.

Visible to the naked eye, Guan Yu's complexion suddenly condensed.

He stood up suddenly, first looked around at the sons who were still answering the question, then Danfeng opened and closed his eyes, and uttered domineering words from his mouth - "Guan, go and meet him!"

After finishing speaking, Guan Yu walked out of the main hall, leaving behind a group of guards to watch over the children.

On the other side, Zhuge Jin was waiting in the pavilion behind the corridor outside the main hall.

Seeing Guan Yu, he quickly bowed his hands and saluted: "General Guan, I have been ordered to take back the three counties of Jiangxia, Changsha, and Guiyang. I also hope that General Guan..."

Before he finishes speaking...

When Zhuge Jin saw Guan Yu took the sword from Zhou Cang's hand, he raised it.

Now, Zhuge Jin was frightened.

What does this mean?
The two armies are at war, and if they don't kill each other, what's more... the Sun Liu alliance, they are allies!

But Guan Yu's arrogant and indifferent voice came out.

"Where did the rotten Confucian come from here to deceive the public?"

"General Guan is following orders... following orders..."

"Order? Whose order? Why did my elder brother have an order?" Guan Yu's Danfeng eyes released a more terrifying light, "Could it be possible, you rotten scholar, do you think that Guan will be ordered by that 'Bi Yan'er'?"

"Haha, hahahaha!"
