Chapter 95

Guan Lin is performing.

Shi Huolong and You Tanzhi are also performing.

The difference is that Guan Lin is the chief director of the scene, but Shi Huolong and You Tanzhi don't know that Guan Lin and Hong Qigong are the same person.

They just came to play a play with the fourth son Guan Lin according to "Hong Qigong".

The stage has been set up and the curtain has been drawn.

Shi Huolong spared no effort to introduce their weapons.

"My master, Shi Huolong, came here at the order of my master..." He pointed to the strange chariot, "This is a van, my master said, it is a magic weapon for infantry against cavalry! It is the nemesis of cavalry!"

"Wait..." Guan Lin didn't give him the time to introduce the van, "Your master said that this broken cart is the nemesis of the cavalry, so is that the nemesis of the cavalry?"

Guan Lin waved his hand, "Then your master wants to say, does my father have a good temper? Has my father's temper really changed? Your master wants to say, is Sun Quan good at commanding troops? Sun Shiwan can beat Zhang Zhang Eight hundred? Your master also said that Cao Cao doesn’t love wives, so Cao Cao wouldn’t build the Tongque Terrace?”

Guan Lin said a lot in one breath.

--"Hahaha…"

His words instantly made the whole audience burst into laughter, and more and more people gathered around.

Many people feel that this trip is worthwhile.

Not only can I listen to "storytelling", but also I can listen to the stories of Guan's father and son, and now I can even watch the "arms" transaction.

——The Desheng Bridge in Jiangling City is so wonderful!

Shi Huolong was also taken aback, that's not what he said in the rehearsal last night, this Mr. Guan Lin didn't follow the arrangement of "Hong Qigong" at all, can he improvise?
Of course, Shi Huolong didn't know that Guan Lin had restrained himself.

If it is in later generations, he will be directly "brotherly love Li Shimin, treat hero Zhu Yuanzhang kindly", "loyal to An Lushan, iron-blooded man Wei Zhongxian", "naturally beautiful Jia Nanfeng, mother kind and son filial Wu Zetian".

Of course, there are also those who are closer to this era, such as "Sun Zhongmou, who started his own business, retired as Marquis of Huaiyin after success", "Sima Yan, a loyal minister of the Great Wei Dynasty, who worked hard to rule Hu Hai."

If you really don't keep it up, Guan Lin can talk for an hour!
Today, it is enough to list only father Guan Yu, Zhang Babai, and wife Cao.

Shi Huolong was a little confused, he didn't know what to do...

Guan Lin's voice groaned again, "It's a mule or a horse, pull it out for a walk... You said that this van is the nemesis of cavalry, okay, under the Desheng Bridge, there is water to the north, and an open space to the south. Let me call Get some infantry, then call some cavalry, and the infantry will use your van to fight against the cavalry, if it really works, then let's talk about it!"

Shi Huolong and You Tanzhi look at each other.

It seemed that the "script" was right again, and the two said in unison, "OK!"

Shi Huolong stretched out his hand and said: "Then the fourth son of Laoguan will find these infantry and cavalry..."

Guan Lin pinched his waist with both hands, "Isn't this simple?"

He greeted Ma Bing beside him, "Immediately go to the barracks to find my second brother... Third sister, just say that I want to try a weapon that can restrain the cavalry, and let them bring ten men each. Cavalry, and for the third sister, you need to bring infantry! Of course, tell them both that their work is not in vain, and everyone who comes will have thirty catties of millet!"

Hearing this, Ma Bing bowed his hands and took the order.

He and a group of yamen servants from the "Thief Cao's Mansion" came here with Guan Lin early in the morning, and after listening to books all morning, they felt that they had no energy.

When he got this order, he immediately took the order and drove away with several yamen servants.

With the sound of "da da da" horseshoes, it disappeared near the "Shengsheng bridge".

Guan Lin looked back at Shi Huolong with a smile, "Now, you can talk about other things first, such as... that crossbow! My son looks at that crossbow, it's interesting!"

Guan Lin is taking the initiative to lead the rhythm...

He could see that Shi Huolong and You Tanzhi had just arrived, their acting skills were mediocre, and their ability to adapt to changing situations was not particularly strong, so they still need to practice!
Simply, let Guan Lin lead the rhythm for the time being.

Sure enough, after being reminded by Guan Lin, Shi Huolong laughed. "Guan Sigong has good eyesight, my crossbow is not an ordinary crossbow!"

"Why is it unusual?"

"The crossbows of other families can hold twenty bolts at most, but this crossbow of mine can hold fifty bolts. The crossbows of other families can shoot at most three bolts, and this crossbow of ours can shoot ten bolts at a time. , and the power is huge, within 35 steps, not to mention armor, even a strong bull can penetrate it! Immediately killed!"

Shi Huolong introduced it eloquently.

But Guan Lin, his eyes were fixed, "You mean, even a strong bull can penetrate?"

"Exactly!" Shi Huolong assured, patting his chest.

"There is no evidence for what you say..." Guan Lin spread his hands and turned to the people in the audience, "He has blown his bull to the sky, folks, should we find a cow and try him?"

--ox!

--ox!

The first cow is the cow of the old scalper, and the second cow is the awesome cow!
Guan Lin actually wanted to eat cattle.

Since Dad came back, except for eating at Lao Huang'er's once, he hasn't eaten beef for a few days. You know, he is only fourteen or five years old, and it is time to grow his body!
How can it be without the supplement of beef?
However, this time...

Obviously, when the audience heard Guan Lin's words, the big guy shouted loudly: "Try it, don't you have to try it..."

"Senior Guan Si is right. It's a mule or a horse. If you don't try it with a cow, how can you tell the power of this crossbow?"

"Find a cow, find a cow!"

"Yes, find a cow!"

It's not a big deal to watch the excitement...

It seems that at this time, no one cares anymore. Cattle are an important agricultural productivity in this era, and killing cattle at will will lead to imprisonment.

There will be no cattle lovers who will condemn Guan Lin's behavior.

After all, he has a very pure purpose.

This is what everyone hopes for.

Immediately, Guan Lin opened his mouth and said: "Okay, since it's what the big guys want to see, today Cao Jun will spend twice the price to buy a cow, and try to see if the crossbow can shoot through it!"

Thinking about this...

Guan Lin ordered his servants to look for cattle.

In fact, the cow has been found a long time ago, it just lacks a reason to kill it!

Now, for the great cause of defeating Cao, to verify the strength of Liannu.

——Niu Er, you go all the way!
The yamen servants pretended to run a long way around, and then brought up a strong bull.

It didn't seem to have expected its own death, and when it saw so many people suddenly, it thought it was about to reach the "peak of life".

But I heard Guan Lin yelling: "I am going to shoot cattle under the bridge, and I will also try the sidecar under the bridge later, and all the people will look down on the bridge to see clearly... If you don't try it today, you will find out why. I will never give up!"

Look at it with this eye.

——This good show...is about to develop towards a climax.

...

...

——Dry season.

When Guan Yu and Ma Liang talked about this dry season, their expressions changed to varying degrees.

Obviously, this topic is not easy.

"In the past, our army has never made a northern expedition during the dry season...Guan Gong, think twice!"

Ma Liang's tone was very unassuming, as if because of this dry season, he showed a lot of timidity.

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Guan Yu waved his hand to signal him not to speak any more.

But obviously, Guan Yu's mood was also affected.

The paralyzed face that has never changed since ancient times is now much heavier.

—Dry season!

This is a problem that the Northern Expedition can never ignore.

You know, Cao Cao transferred Zhang Liao away only once in history, and that was during the autumn and winter of the 24th year of Jian'an.

On the one hand, Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army and Megatron China, Cao Cao was not able to urgently mobilize Zhang Liao on the Eastern Front.

At this time, it leads to a question that has been widely discussed in later generations.

Why didn't Sun Quan take advantage of this period to fight Hefei?
Without Zhang Liao's nightmare, wouldn't Soochow break the game if Hefei was defeated?

And if Hefei was defeated, wouldn't there be no need to shamelessly attack Jiangling and stab Guan Gong in the back?

In the final analysis, it's not that Sun Quan doesn't want to fight Hefei, but that he can't fight. This has never been a multiple-choice question!
Because the time when Cao Cao transferred Zhang Liao was exactly the dry season.

According to "Shui Jing Zhu", the water level of the Han River in the dry season can be shallow enough to be waded.

And at such a water level, the ship can only run aground.

This means that Jiangdong's navy is completely useless, but because of the lower water level, the northern cavalry has a lot of room to play.

In this way, even if Zhang Liao is transferred away, can Jiangdong's water fighters beat Wei Jun's Xiaoqi on land?

For another example, in the later period of the Three Kingdoms period, King Sima Xuan wanted to conquer Wu and unify him. As a result, the water level dropped in winter, which made the large ship unable to operate and ran aground completely.

In the sixth year of Huangchu, Emperor Wen of Wei Dynasty, Cao Pi also ignored this point when he went south. He used a large number of warships in winter, and the fleet was paralyzed as a result!

Of course, that was after the weakening of Soochow's national strength, and Wei and Jin, as the offensive side, were subject to the dry season... so they were constrained.

Now...in reverse.

Guan Yu wanted to attack Xiangyang and Fancheng. Under the dry season, with such a low water level, the Guan Jiajun's "amphibious force" must use its own strengths to attack the enemy's strengths.

In addition, the decline in the water level during the dry season will always benefit the northern soldiers and horses. After all, the northerners are not good at water warfare. Once the water is dry, it will perfectly bypass the problem of not being familiar with water warfare.

"Guan Gong won't let me say it, but... for this Northern Expedition, Liang still wants to persuade Guan Gong."

Ma Liang said earnestly, "Two years ago, Cao Cao led an army of 40 to launch a fierce attack on Soochow's Ruxukou, but within a few months he broke through Soochow's camp on the east bank of the Yangtze River and captured many of Sun Quan's subordinates. Governor—Gongsun Yang.”

"Soochow's military strength is only 7, which is no match for Cao Cao's army, and it is also in the dry season. Under such a difficult situation, the two armies have been at a stalemate for more than a month... Finally, we have waited for the arrival of the flat water period!"

"It was also the arrival of the flat water period that made Jiangdong's ships and navy able to play a role again. Not only did Soochow not suffer a loss in the battle of Ruxu, but it made Cao Cao miserable. It was at that time that Cao Cao pointed at Dongwu. Wu's army lamented: "Son should be like Sun Zhongmou, Liu Jingsheng's son is like porpoise and dog ears!""

"After that, there was a drizzle after the flat water period, and the summer flood season ushered in! Sun Quan wrote a letter to Cao Cao, writing only sixteen characters. After Cao Cao read it, he immediately led his troops away."

Speaking of this, Ma Liang got up slowly, and recited the sixteen words one by one, "Spring water is born, you should go quickly, your step will not die, and you will not be alone!"

At this point, he paused, and continued: "When Cao Cao heard these sixteen characters, he only said to his subordinates, 'Sun Quan does not bully orphans', so the army withdrew!"

"Guan Gong...Whether it is Cao Cao or Sun Quan, they all know that the dry season is beneficial to Cao's cavalry, and the flooding period is beneficial to the navy of our Sun Liu alliance. At this time, the dry season is approaching. The enemy's leader, this is not a wise move, let alone..."

"Cao Ren, the guard of Xiangfan, is known as the "General of Heaven and Man" in Cao's army. He and his brother's tigers and leopards ride in flood seasons, and they are insects in flat water seasons, but they are dragons in dry seasons... Guan's army has more infantry, and Jingzhou has fewer horses. As strong as Guan Gong, but have you ever thought that you are not afraid of riding a red rabbit horse, but how can those infantry resist the charge of the tiger and leopard cavalry? Isn't this death in vain?"

Ma Liang's words are justified...

Sincerely.

He had too many reasons to persuade Guan Gong not to use troops for the time being.

When the spring of next year is over and the flood season is over, that will be the best time for the Northern Expedition!

But... Ma Liang has a thousand reasons to stop him, but Guan Yu only needs one reason, and he must attack Xiangfan in the north at this time.

This has nothing to do with the battle of Hefei, the success or failure between Sun Quan and Zhang Liao.

It's only about the huge pressure that big brother Liu Bei is facing in Yizhou!
Hanzhong belongs to Cao!

The Wudou Rice Sect advocated that Lu "would rather be a slave to Duke Cao than a guest for Liu Bei"... Although the elder brother Liu Bei did not mention this pressure in the letter he sent, all kinds of words only said that everything is fine.

But Guan Yu couldn't understand the pressure between the lines of the elder brother.

Big brother... No, not just big brother, the whole Yizhou is afraid of Cao Cao's going south!

Long Wangshu...

From a geographical point of view, the situation on Big Brother's side is even more difficult now.

For this reason, even if it is a dry season, even if he wants to fight against Cao Jun's superior cavalry, Guan Yu will make a northern expedition.
Only in this way can the pressure on the eldest brother Liu Bei in Yizhou be relieved.

Taoyuan's friendship and Guan Yu's loyalty to Bo Yuntian are not just talk.

"I've made up my mind to send troops to the Northern Expedition in half a month's time!"

"Ji Chang, you know Guan's temperament best, don't try to persuade him, and you won't be able to persuade him!"

Closing the coffin...

Is this a final conclusion?

Ma Liang sighed helplessly, revealing a profound sense of vicissitudes and desolation in his whole body.

He understands Guan Gong's thoughts!

If he can be persuaded, is he still an admirable Guan Gong?
"Ugh…"

Sighing again, Ma Liang planned to leave.

Never thought, right now.

"Father...father..."

I saw Guan Suo rushing into the room in a hurry, panting heavily while running, as if...he came quite eagerly.

Guan Yu restrained his original mood and raised his eyes.

"What's so alarming about?"

This blurted out Guan Yu's feeling that something was wrong. Yunqi told Deshengqiao early in the morning... Didn't Weizhi go to Yunqi's place?
Now, returning in such a panic, is something wrong with Yunqi?
Inexplicably, Guan Yu wanted to teach his son Guan Lin a good lesson, but in his heart, when he heard what happened to him, there was still a "click".

Can't hide the worry on his face.

However, Guan Suo said, "Fourth brother... Fourth brother asked the child to bring a message to his father, say... say..."

"What?" Guan Yu asked urgently.

Guan Suo could only falter and say: "The fourth brother said... that he wants to raise the bet!"

"It's still the previous bet... Whoever loses again will have to apologize to the other party in front of the people in the city! The fourth brother also... asked Dad if he was afraid, saying that it's too late for Dad to regret it now!"

This…

As soon as this remark came out, even though he didn't know the whole story of the matter.

But what Guan Yu subconsciously thought of was the words that Sun Quan gave Cao Cao, "If one step does not die, I will not be safe"...

Guan Yu felt that if this rebellious son didn't piss off his father, he wouldn't feel at ease!
——"Guan Yunqi, Guan Yunqi, you are still worried about your safety because of your father. Your father's worry is simply... you have fed the dog!" 』

——"Hmph, even after feeding the dog, the dog still knows how to wag its tail?But you... want to apologize to you for your father in front of the whole city?Guan Yunqi, you are not a son of man, you don't know filial piety!Chop you! 』

For a moment, Guan Yu's blood surged...

dizzy…

That familiar feeling, it's, and, and, it's back!
...
