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

Chapter 84 Standing and Standing, Cao Thief's Bitch Archway!

The wine cellar is extremely dark at night.

The torch flickered, and under the leadership of Lu Youjiao, the three beggars walked to the deepest part of the wine cellar, and Lu Youjiao extinguished the torch.

At this time, the faint moonlight shines through the gap above the head and falls on the ground, like hoarfrost sprinkled all over the ground.

Gradually, a flickering oil lamp appeared in the hoarfrost. The oil lamp was hung on a wine jar in the deepest part. Under the hazy shadow of the lamp, Guan Lin's shadow floated on the wall, like a giant.

Of course, at this moment, he is not Guan Lin, he is the most mysterious person in Jiangling City today - "Hong Qigong"!
Because his back was facing the oil lamp and he was wearing a bamboo hat, the three beggars could only see the shadow cast by his back, which was too big and too blurry for them to see clearly, " Hong Qigong" His old man's mysterious face.

"Qi Gong, everyone has brought them here."

Lu Youjiao's voice came out.

"Dong dong..."

Guan Lin tapped the wine jar twice, like some kind of pre-arranged secret signal.

Lu Youjiao immediately ordered the three beggars, "Stand here! Whatever old man Hong Qigong asks you, what do you answer?"

"Yes…"

"Yes…"

The three answered quickly.

But after that, there was a long silence.

Hong Qigong didn't ask, so naturally they couldn't answer!
"Tick...tick", it seemed that dew condensed from wine dripped from the beam above the head.

As expected of a wine cellar, the aroma of wine is tangy.

At this moment, "cough cough" Guan Lin cleared his throat and deliberately said in an old and hoarse voice.

"What's their name? Where are they from?"

Finally, they heard Hong Qigong's question, and the three of them answered one by one.

The tallest one cupped his hands and said, "The young one is Shi Jing, from Pengcheng, Xuzhou."

The one who was of medium height and had an obvious birthmark on his face also cupped his hands and said, "The young one's name is You Yong, from Yecheng!"

The one who was the lowest, slightly obese, finally handed over: "My surname is Zhang, and my name is 'Fang', from Chenliu, Yanzhou..."

Obviously, the third Zhang Fang is a very particular person... I think he has fallen from the family.

Guan Lin couldn't help but pay more attention to him.

Of course, Lu Youjiao and several elders carefully investigated the reason why the three of them were able to come here.

They have all been beggars for more than three years, and their identities are very pure.

All items are in line with the conditions proposed by "Hong Qigong" of "doing business", "jiling", and "has a deep hatred with Cao Cao".

You know, although there are more than 2000 people in the Beggar Gang, there are not many who meet all these three requirements. These three are considered "rare".

"Cough cough..."

Guan Lin coughed lightly, and continued to ask in an old voice: "I heard from Elder Lu that you have all done business? And you have a sworn feud with the Cao thief in the north? Is there such a thing?"

These words blurted out, as if they opened up the chatterbox of the three of them at once.

"Let me tell you first..." The caller Shi Jing opened his mouth first: "It was the fourth year of Chuping, when Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou to avenge his father, and my father and mother died under the knife of this Cao thief!"

Well…

Hearing this, Guan Lin recalled.

Indeed, in the fourth year of Chuping, Cao Cao conquered Tao Qian in order to avenge his father, and conquered more than ten cities. When he fought in Pengcheng, Tao Qian was defeated.

Cao Cao carried out a tragic massacre in Pengcheng in order to vent his hatred.

According to the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty", if 10 men and women were killed, there would be no chickens or dogs left, and Surabaya would not flow.

Guan Lin subconsciously associated the words of "Shi Jing" with Cao Cao's title of "the world's number one butcher knife"!

However, what Shi Jing described was somewhat different from what was recorded in the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty".

"At that time, Cao thief brought the newly recruited Qingzhou soldiers to attack Xuzhou. These Qingzhou soldiers...just...a group of robbers. Unscrupulous."

Shi Jingyue said that the more angry he was, "These Qingzhou soldiers are actually not good in record. They can't beat Tao Qian's Danyang soldiers, and they lose every game. But they are new to Cao Cao. They want to make meritorious service and eat food, so they just Start going to the village to kill us people, cut off the heads and pretend to be Danyang soldiers to receive meritorious service! Take the food from our family to eat."

"In the beginning, dozens of Qingzhou soldiers did this. Later, other Qingzhou soldiers saw that these 'sons of bitches' were eating meat and doing meritorious service. More and more Qingzhou soldiers began to do this...tens of thousands Qingzhou soldiers suddenly became tens of thousands of robbers!"

"In the end, this matter got into the ears of that thief Cao. Instead of punishing these Qingzhou soldiers, the thief Cao even... asked them to slaughter Pengcheng directly. In name, it was to vent their anger, but in fact... Cao thief wanted to Bury for them the crime of massacring the people and pretending to be meritorious!"

This…

Hearing this, Guan Lin only felt shocking.

What I read from ancient books and documents in the past is that Cao Cao slaughtered Xuzhou to vent his anger at his father's death.

But who would have thought that the truth would be so shocking.

Qingzhou soldiers were lax in discipline, and Cao Cao at that time...needed to rely on the combat power of these Qingzhou soldiers, so he let it go and even covered it up for them.

From this matter alone, Qingzhou soldiers are "evil", but Cao Cao's "evil" is especially above them.

"Did these Qingzhou soldiers kill your parents?" Guan Lin's hoarse voice groaned again.

"Yes..." Shi Jing gritted his teeth, "In the fourth year of Chuping, my mother died at the hands of this group of Qingzhou soldiers, and my father and I escaped unharmed. I thought that this group of demons had left, so they passed away. But who would have thought In the third year of Jian'an, Cao Cao crusade against Lv Bu, and... slaughtered Pengcheng again! My father... my brother, my sister, and Weng Weng... died again under his butcher's knife."

This…

Massacred Xuzhou twice?

All Guan Lin thought of for a moment was the cold line in the history books—September, Gongdong Zhengbu.In winter and October, slaughter Pengcheng!

——This is tantamount to two catastrophes!
——The people of Pengcheng suffer!
"Qi Gong...Qi Gong, I beg you old man to make the decision for me, make the decision for me!"

With a clatter, Shi Jing knelt down directly, kowtowing like garlic.

"I see!" Guan Lin's voice became much heavier.

The second one, the one named You Yong, said: "I... I am similar to him, I am from Yecheng, Jizhou. In the ninth year of Jian'an, the Cao thief attacked Yecheng, and Lord Shenfu held on for three months, and finally... It was finally breached."

"The thief Cao... said... he said that those who besieged and then descended would be killed without mercy, so...the whole Yecheng was slaughtered by him, and my whole family died in that Yecheng. For three days and three nights, I was slaughtered for three days and three nights. ...I escaped from the pile of dead people, there are many others like me, because Cao Zei has slaughtered too many people, and I can't even take care of them!"

The "Shenfu Lord" mentioned by You Yong is the order of Yecheng under Yuan Shao's youngest son Yuan Shang - Shenpei.

His garrison of Yecheng did cause great trouble to Cao Cao's siege, and made Cao's army fight extremely hard, and even in the end, it can be described as a "tragic victory".

But... since it has already been shot down, why bother to slaughter it?
Those who surround and descend later will be killed without mercy!

Why embarrass these innocent people?

Aren't these all your Cao Cao's subjects in the future?

Guan Lin couldn't understand.

In the final analysis, things like massacres are completely inconsistent with his three views.

It is true that many people in later generations have whitewashed Cao Cao on the Internet.

It is said that Cao Cao is for support, it is a show of power... What's more, it is said that he is a helpless act of "rather killing by mistake than letting one go".

But Guan Lin felt that this could not be washed at all!

How can anyone be so shameless, while massacring a city to become the "No. [-] Butcher Knife of the Three Kingdoms", and at the same time chant "The bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for a thousand miles. A hundred people will leave one, and the thought will break the heart."

Isn't this both being a bitch and setting up a memorial archway?
As far as Guan Lin can remember, there are no less than nine times about the massacre of Cao Cao.

Twice in Xuzhou Pengcheng, once in Yecheng, once in Yanzhou Yongqiu, once in Wuhuanliucheng, once in Taiyuan, twice in Pingding Han Sui, Song Jianshi, and... the future Wancheng where blood will flow like a river.

Thinking of this, Guan Lin sighed in his heart.

It is true that under the huge waves of this era, uncle Liu Bei and father Guan Yu played a game with Cao Cao. In the game, it is "one mine hits nine mines", and they will undoubtedly die.

But so many poor people who died under Cao Cao's knife?

Did they die in vain?
Shouldn't someone stand up for them and do something for them?

When he was studying in the past, Guan Lin always couldn't understand the so-called "faith" of the Shu Han, but now, he can somewhat understand it.

The "faith" of these soldiers may not be a dream to change the world at all, but just to live, under the threat of "the first butcher knife", to live bravely!

"Ahem..." Thinking of this, Guan Lin coughed lightly, and asked the last one... "What about you?"

Guan Lin remembered that the last one with the lowest stature was Zhang Fang, who was from Chenliu, Yanzhou.

I saw that this man was generous, cupped his hands and bowed to Guan Lin's shadow, "Introduce yourself to 'Seven Lords' again, next to Zhang Fang, my father Zhang Chao, and my uncle Zhang Miao, one of the 'Eight Cooks'!"

The name blurted out, and Guan Lin recalled it all at once.

This was the third year of Jian'an, when Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao colluded with Lu Bu and Chen Gong, taking advantage of Cao Cao's crusade against Xuzhou, they sneaked into Yanzhou, Cao Cao's stronghold.

When Cao Cao came back from the counterattack, he finally besieged "Yongqiu" for several months. When he broke the city, Cao Cao slaughtered the city here for ten days in addition to killing Zhang Chao and Zhang Miao's family in order to dispel his hatred!
This is another tragic city massacre after the massacre of Xuzhou...

And the Zhang Fang in front of him, no wonder he was generous, with the demeanor of a wealthy family.

It turned out to be...the son of Zhang Chao, and Zhang Miao, one of the "eight cooks", was his uncle.

call…

Guan Lin breathed out softly, these people are really with Cao Cao... they are at odds with each other, and they have deep hatred!

...

...

Withdrew, overnight.

Sun Quan's army retreated to Jiangdong.

At this moment, as if... In the sky, the endless haze shrouded the heads of every Jiangdong soldier who came back in disgrace.

Everyone was downcast. This battle was fought, even though there were so many people, but... just couldn't win it.

If you say it is "useless"?

Not really!

That is purely unbeatable.

From the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, the command of the soldiers on the battlefield, and the overall planning of the commander, all directions... completely defeated, completely defeated!
It seemed that after these two big defeats, the anger in my heart was vented all at once, like two agreed principles, embedded in the heart of every Jiangdong soldier.

First, the field battle is to die, not to mention the siege, the next time Wu Hou mobilizes the siege, the dog will not believe it.

Second, Shanxi people are not easy to mess with. Before these Shanxi people die, there is no hope for Soochow's Northern Expedition.

call…

At this moment, Sun Quan was standing on the bank of the Yangtze River, and he seemed to feel another kind of mourning.

The surging river is still rushing eastward.

However, those Jiangdong children who slept in Xiaoyaojin could never return home.

The crows were flying around in the sky, howling excitedly. This was because the corpse of the Jiangdong disciple on Xiaoyaojin was about to become their most delicious food.

- "Woo"

——"Woooo..."

At this moment, heavy sobs sounded, and Sun Quan noticed that beside him, Ling Tong was kneeling on the bank of the river, beating his chest and feet, and crying at the same time!
"Dead, all dead..."

"My three hundred brothers are all dead! None of them came back."

Speaking of it, Ling Tong was too honest.

When the defeat in Xiaoyaojin was decided, facing Zhang Liao and his fellow villagers from Shanxi, Lu Meng, Jiang Qin, and Gan Ning all symbolically resisted and then quickly retreated.

Only Ling Tong was the most honest, he was stunned until the last brother fell to the ground.

The more than 300 confidantes he trained over the years were all gone in one battle.

"Death cannot be brought back to life, so mourning for the merits..." Sun Quan comforted, "At least you are still here, and Gu is still there, isn't it just a soldier? You have lost [-] soldiers, so Gu will give you [-]!"

Hearing this, Ling Tong looked at Sun Quan in a daze and couldn't help himself. He opened his mouth. He wanted to curse, but he swallowed all the words in the end.

Is this about soldiers?
Recruiting [-] recruits, and his [-] personal soldiers selected from the "corporate commander, Shichang, and centurion commander", who have fought for so many years together, how can that be compared?
Of course, Sun Quan was also in a bad mood.

After comforting Ling Tong, the way he looked at the Taotao River began to become more confused.

First, it was broken by [-] to [-];
It was the battle of Xiaoyaojin again, and Soochow's anger was blown away!
Don't talk about the Northern Expedition, let alone Zhang Liao, even if the word "bei" or "zhang" is mentioned now, the soldiers dare not speak loudly.

What's more, if they heard these "words" in their sleep, countless Jiangdong disciples would wake up at once, and then they would cuddle up to each other, hugging the bedding and crying.

In the Battle of Hefei, the children of Jiangdong have been broken!
Ha ha…

Sun Quan smiled wryly, and said with emotion: "If Gu's father and brother are still alive, how could they experience such a defeat? How could the three armies be so terrified?"

Yes, he is only 33 years old!

At the age of 33, in the north, he can't move anymore, and he admits it!

And because of the Hefei bet, Ximian is about to face the rock-solid Changsha army, the impregnable Jiangling, and the unparalleled brave Guan Yunchang...

This is another Shanxi native!

Sun Quan felt that in his life, why couldn't he pass the "Shanxi people" test?

Thinking of this, disappointing tears were about to flow down from the corners of Sun Quan's eyes...

Lu Meng at the side quickly comforted: "My lord, winning or losing is a common matter in military affairs...My lord, you don't need to blame yourself too much."

"Why should I blame myself?" Sun Quan waved his big hand, and he was particularly stubborn, "If you lose this battle, you will lose. It's not a pity for Gu!"

"But, because of the Hefei gambling agreement, the three counties of Changsha are gone, and Liu Bei's borrowing of Jingzhou is gone. Daoyi is on his side with Liu Xuande. From then on, it will be difficult to expand the lonely Soochow? Whose fault is this?"

This…

Lu Meng and Ling Tong, Gan Ning, Jiang Qin and others beside him looked at each other in blank dismay.

Whose fault?
Is this not obvious?
As long as the army is led by a dog this time, it shouldn't be so embarrassing, right?

But... can this be said?
For a while, everyone was silent...

However, this silence did not seem to calm down the "irritated" and "disheartened" Soochow King.

He shouted angrily: "Where is Zhuge Ziyu?"

"Gu just listened to his words, so he made that Hefei bet even worse, so that it's hard to get off now!"

"It's him, it's him who has harmed Soochow and Gu! Quickly, bring him here to see Gu!"

The situation is already like this.

As the lord of Soochow Wu, one cannot lose his prestige, so...he had to find someone to back him up.

Coincidentally, he, Zhuge Jin, was just right in size and length!
