The last three kingdoms

Chapter 187 The Blood Book

Luo Xian fell into deep thought, and paced back and forth on the ground with his hands behind his back. After walking about a dozen times, he suddenly pulled out his sword, grabbed the snow-white cloak behind him, and cut off a piece of brocade with the sword. On the top of the table, and then touched the edge of the sword with the index finger, drawing a gash, blood flowing.

Luo Xi was startled, and shouted, "Father—"

Luo Xian didn't speak, but used his finger as a pen and blood as ink, and quickly wrote on the brocade forging.After finishing writing, Luo Xian forged the brocade and handed it to Luo Xi, with a serious expression on his face, "Xi'er, take this letter and go to Hsinchu Town, a hundred miles away, and prepare two fast horses. Every day at noon, my father will send someone to Hsinchu Town to meet you. If you see someone coming before noon, you will stay in Hsinchu. Send the letter to Chengdu and present it to His Majesty! Remember, as long as no one contacts you after noon, you should leave immediately without any delay, let alone return to Yong'an!"

Luo Xi was holding the blood book in his hand, and he immediately understood that his father was determined to die and wrote the book in blood. In case something happened to him, he asked his son to send the blood book to Chengdu to report.Luo Xi hurriedly said: "Father, if you judge that the Wu people have evil intentions, why don't you arrange a retreat early? If it doesn't work, let the boy guard Yong'an, and the father will go to Chengdu to report the letter."

Luo Xian said in a deep voice: "As a father, you are the governor of Yong'an, how can you leave your post without authorization! If you are here, Yong'an is here! Xier, remember what you said as a father, a man stands in the world, and when it is time to take on the responsibility, never shrink back!"

"Father—" Luo Xi burst into tears. He knew that he would probably never see his father again after this trip.

Luo Xian looked at his son, Luo Xi has just turned [-] this year, has just served in the army, and has never traveled far alone, but now he has a mission that is not his or his own, going to Chengdu, thousands of miles away, whether he Can you take on this important task?Luo Xian had no choice. At this time, he could only rely on his own son and dare not pretend to be someone else.

"A man does not shed tears lightly, Xier, remember the words of being a father, what you have in your hand is not just a letter, it is related to the life and death of a big man, promise to be a father, no matter what difficulties you have, no matter how much you pay Be sure to send it to Chengdu!"

"I obey! I obey!" Luo Xi broke down in tears, nodding in agreement, with tears streaming down his cheeks.

"Go." Luo Xian waved his hand lightly.

Luo Xi took a few steps back, knelt down in front of Luo Xian suddenly, kowtowed a few times, then turned and left, disappearing into the night.

Luo Xian walked to the window, wanting to take another look at his son's back, but the pitch-black night made his last extravagant hopes come to nothing. He sighed softly and stared at the few lonely cold stars in the sky.

Maybe it's just me worrying about it?Luo Xian wanted to comfort himself from the bottom of his heart, but he couldn't deceive himself no matter what. He knew the methods of those Wu people very well, but he suffered from no evidence to prove it.He arranged for his son to go to Hsinchu Town because he had already prepared for the worst. Once something happened to Yong'an, he had to report to the court as soon as possible so that the court could take precautions in advance, so that even if he died, it would be worthy of death.

"Men are mortal, and they are heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather..." Luo Xian softly recited the famous words of Ma Qian from Taishi Company, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

The warships of Soochow carefully passed through the rapids and dangerous shoals of Qutang Gorge. From a distance, the outline of Yong'an City could be vaguely seen.

Lu Kang stood at the bow of the ship, his heartbeat felt inexplicably accelerated. Yong'an City was like a sharp sword hanging above his head, which had always made him restless. Today, he won it for the first time. See the true face of Yong'an City.

What a dangerous city!
Lu Kang secretly admired in the bottom of his heart, no wonder his father Lu Xun burned his battalion for [-] miles, chased all the way to the belly of the fish, but gave up his intention to advance, such a dangerous city, it is impossible for one man to guard the city. open.Yong'an City is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and faces water on one side. It is completely built under the steep cliffs. It is like a big lock, firmly locking the gate of Eastern Sichuan. Any attempt to pass through it and enter Shu It looked hopeless.

If you want to enter Yizhou, you must first win Yong'an City and attack Yong'an?This is almost an impossible task. Even if a hundred thousand troops come here to break through Yong'an City, that is an extravagant hope.The waterways lined with dangerous shoals, the mountain roads between the cliffs, no matter how many troops are deployed, no matter whether they attack from east to west or west to east, Yong'an is like an indestructible fortress, which cannot be surpassed no matter what.

However, Lu Kang seemed confident because he had his own plan.At the time of the court meeting, someone proposed how not to follow Liu Bei's approach back then, and enter Shu first, and then take Yizhou together when the time is right.Lu Kang categorically rejected this proposal. When Liu Bei entered Sichuan, Yong'an City hadn't been built yet, so Liu Bei was able to blossom in the center and cooperate with the outside. But now Yong'an City is as solid as gold. If he brings troops into Sichuan, Yong'an City will immediately isolate the front and rear Wu armies. Come to think of it, the Wu army's food, grass and supplies entering Sichuan all depend on the supply of the Shu army. Once an incident occurs, the food and grass supply will be cut off first, and the [-] troops entering Sichuan will surely die, and the follow-up reinforcements will be stuck outside Yong'an City. Don't advance an inch, and if you can't persist for more than ten days, the army entering Sichuan will be wiped out.

Therefore, in Lu Kang's plan, seizing Yong'an is a crucial part. Only by controlling this eastern Sichuan gateway can the Wu army be able to advance and attack, retreat and defend, and come and go freely.Moreover, it is unknown to Lu Kang whether he can capture the entire Yizhou, but as long as he can capture Yong'an, Lu Kang's plan is already half successful.It is best to be able to capture Chengdu, and the worst plan is to share the land of Bashu with the Wei people equally. As long as the original concept can be realized, it will be a victory for Soochow.After all, this action is all about taking a chestnut from the fire, taking a share of Qiang Wei's bowl, which can be called a tiger's mouth grabbing food.

However, Luo Xian, the governor who guards Yong'an, is a character that gives Lu Kang a headache. Lu Kang had to think a lot about taking down Yong'an, who could be easily fooled by a few words.
