Three Kingdoms: Heir of Wolong, my father-in-law is Guan Gong

Chapter 71 Death is like the wind, Zhuge Qiao goes to the battlefield

Guan Yu was obviously worried that Zhuge Qiao was young and had not been in battle and would not be able to adapt to the cruelty of the battlefield.

As the saying goes, kindness does not control soldiers.

People who are too kind are not suitable for commanding soldiers.

Death is like the wind, always accompanying you.

The battlefield is an alternation of life and death. Either the enemy dies, the ally dies, or you die.

"Your Majesty, please do not underestimate me. Although I am young, I am not a naive boy." Zhuge Qiao looked solemn.

Although Zhuge Qiao's physical age is only fifteen years old, his mental age is already over thirty.

Living in troubled times, Zhuge Qiao also had a clear understanding of life and death.

Seeing that Zhuge Qiao showed no fear on his face, Guan Yu was secretly pleased.

"Courage is the core cultivation for establishing a career in troubled times."

"Like Liao Li, even though he has the talent of writing thousands of books, he doesn't have the courage of a city soldier. In the end, he is just a mediocre person."

Subconsciously, Guan Yu thought of Liao Li, the former governor of Changsha.

If Liao Li had not fled without a fight, catching the officials, soldiers and civilians of Changsha, Guiyang and Lingling counties off guard and Guan Yu not expecting it, how could Lu Meng have allowed Lu Meng to steal the three counties?
  This comparison made Guan Yu appreciate Zhuge Qiao even more.

He is worthy of being the heir of a military advisor, and worthy of being Guan’s recognized son-in-law!
  Appreciation is appreciation, Guan Yu also took great care of Zhuge Qiao, and immediately took the chainmail inner armor and gave it to Zhuge Qiao.

This chainmail inner armor is a rare item.

Not even Guan Ping!
  This was given to Guan Yu by Liu Bei in the past. It was originally the inner armor used by Guan Yu.

Guan Yu was so proud that he did not tell Zhuge Qiao the origin of the chain armor.

Although Zhuge Qiao is only fifteen years old, the Zhuge family has good genes and his physique is far better than that of his peers.

Zhuge Liang was a burly man with a height of eight feet and a very handsome appearance. Marquis Wu, who was able to do everything in detail, was not a weakling.

Gently touching the inner armor of the chain, Zhuge Qiao was deeply moved.

This chain inner armor can be regarded as a treasure armor with the highest defensive power. Ordinary arrows shot at this chain inner armor cannot break the defense!
  "My nephew, thank you, lord!" Zhuge Qiao handed over his hand and thanked him.

Guan Yu stroked his beautiful beard, and Danfeng's eyes were filled with admiration for Zhuge Qiao.

Guan Xing on the side was a little annoyed and moved closer to Guan Ping: "Brother, I suddenly have doubts about whether I am my father's biological son."

Guan Ping glanced at Guan Xing and said calmly: "Don't doubt it, I watched you be born. Not long after you were born, you peed on my head. I remember it very clearly."

Guan Xing's face turned red instantly: "Brother, that's not what I'm asking! Can you remember this kind of thing for nineteen years?"

Guan Ping pretended not to understand, and asked in surprise: "What are you asking about? You are my father's biological son, how could you hug me by mistake?"

"You are my biological brother. The first time you peed on my head, isn't it normal for me to remember it for nineteen years?"

Seeing Guan Ping mentioning peeing again, Guan Xing became even more embarrassed. He shrugged helplessly: "Brother, stop talking, just pretend I didn't ask!"

Guan Ping raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

Why doesn't Guan Ping understand what Guan Xing wants to ask?
  Guan Ping also envied Guan Yu's appreciation and love for Zhuge Qiao, but Guan Ping would not be offended because of Guan Yu's preference.

For Guan Ping, who has been living in a foreign country since childhood, he knows the preciousness of family ties.

Guan Yu is the person Guan Ping admires the most, and Zhuge Qiao is his brother-in-law, and they are Guan Ping's most important family members.

How could there be any reason to be jealous of one’s own family?

Since Zhuge Qiao had never actually been on the battlefield, Guan Yu specially found a few experienced generals to teach Zhuge Qiao their battlefield experience. Those who can survive on the battlefield and be promoted from pawns to generals are those who are ruthless on the battlefield and good at saving their lives.

Although these experiences gained through life and death are not as famous as the strategies in military books such as Sun Tzu's Art of War, they do contain methods of surviving on the battlefield that are not recorded in the art of war books.

Famous generals cannot be created by reading a few military books.

If you want to be a famous general, you must first learn how to survive on the battlefield, and you must survive without violating military orders.

After carefully listening to the battlefield experience imparted by the general, Zhuge Qiao took a deep breath and looked forward to tomorrow's battlefield even more.

“What is to come will always come.”

“What has to be experienced is what has to be experienced.”

"Tomorrow is when I will truly set foot on the battlefield, so I can't lose heart."

There is a poem that says: It is better to be a centurion than a scholar.

In his heart, Zhuge Qiao is also very cruel to himself. If he were not cruel, he would not take the initiative to ask to be Zhuge Liang's heir, let alone come to Jingzhou to reverse the fate of Xiangfan's defeat.

Zhuge Qiao doesn't want to be Liao Li or Ma Su. A true hero must not only be talented, but also courageous!
  And in Fancheng.

Cao Ren also received the message from Dong Heng and couldn't help but snorted: "Guan Yu actually wants to persuade Pang De to surrender? How treacherous!"

Cao Ren was suspicious of Pang De, which did not mean he would agree with Guan Yu's persuasion to surrender.

After Man Chong carefully questioned Dong Heng's messenger, he made a judgment in his mind: "Guan Ping is not much younger than Pang De, but he calls himself a junior and leaves without a fight."

"I think Guan Ping's intention is to drive a wedge. Dong Heng and Dong Chao are suspicious of Pound. If Pound wants to prove his innocence, he will be eager to fight."

"Pang De's reaction must be in Guan Yu's calculation. Why not send a letter to Pang De and ask him to stick to Yancheng and don't doubt yourself."

"Guan Yu has just arrived and his morale is strong. If Pang De is defeated and our army's morale is further weakened, the officials and people of Xiangfan will be a little more panicked."

"If someone follows the example of Yang Yi, the former chief secretary of Jingzhou, and defectes to Guan Yu, wouldn't it mean that he has missed the general's plan?"

Testing Pound's loyalty was originally Man Chong's excuse. The purpose was to allow Pound to enter Yancheng and reduce the defensive pressure on Fancheng.

Now that the goal has been achieved, Man Chong naturally does not want Pound to go out of the city to fight.

Cao Ren had different opinions and said: "Manchang Shi's words are wrong. Guan Yu wants to be wary of me and Hu Xiu, and is worried about an ambush. There will not be too many troops to deal with Pang De."

"This is a good opportunity to restore morale and weaken the enemy. It is also an opportunity for Pound to prove his loyalty."

"If Pang De is allowed to stick to Yancheng, Dong Chao and Dong Heng will have sleepless nights because of suspicion."

"I would also doubt Pound's loyalty and dare not entrust him with important tasks. Pound would be uneasy if he was doubted."

"If Guan Yu takes the opportunity to send lobbyists again, the old story of Ma Chao in Hanzhong will happen in Yancheng."

"If Pound wins, everyone will be happy; if Pound loses, I can see his loyalty, and I can rest assured to entrust him with important responsibilities."

Although Cao Ren was suspicious of Pound, he also knew the consequences of being suspicious of Pound. The incident in the past when Ma Chao was forced to rebel by Zhang Lu in Hanzhong was still vivid in his mind.

Cao Ren was also worried that he would misunderstand Pound and force Pound to rebel, making Xiangfan's defense more difficult. Therefore, knowing that Pound had fallen into Guan Yu's trick, Cao Ren wanted Pound to challenge Guan Yu.

“Those who wish to fight against the outside must first settle within.”

"With internal instability, how can we defend ourselves against the enemy?"

"It is Anei who seizes Hu Xiu's military power in Xiangyang; it is also Anei who allows Pang De to prove his loyalty."

Cao Ren's eyes were a little more decisive and fierce.
