Three Kingdoms: The Reverse Son of the Guan Family, Dragon Blessing Jingxiang

The winter sun is dim and pale.

When Cao Cao's army arrived in Huainan, they looked at a withered wilderness.

In front of me, the towering Shouchun City is like the only oasis and hope in the wilderness.

Cao Cao asked Cao Zhi to sit in the open carriage with him, and Sima Yi was arranged to take the driving seat. Seeing the depression, Cao Cao ordered the army to rest on the spot.

At this moment, Cao Cao slowly got off the carriage and looked at Huainan, which was once grand and prosperous but now dilapidated, with melancholy and sadness.

His face looked a little sad, and he stood up suddenly.

"I remember that more than ten years ago, Yuan Shu in Huainan overrode and proclaimed himself emperor here. The people ate each other, and the state was in depression. There was only so much meat left, but the soldiers were frozen to death. The rivers and Huaihe Rivers were empty, and the people ate each other! I never thought that it had already passed. After more than ten years, Huainan is still like this, so depressed, so dilapidated! What a shame!"

When Cao Zhi and Sima Yi heard this, they both remained silent in tacit agreement.

Cao Cao went on to say, "This weird guy was eager for success. After the Battle of Chibi, he tried to move the population of Huainan to the north. At that time, the Lord Bo Jiang Ji advised him not to do this, but he didn't listen. As expected, the Jianghuai region was eventually destroyed." One hundred thousand people escaped Gu's control and took refuge in Jiangdong, which is where Gu failed."

"However, the migration of these people made Huainan become the main battlefield for Gu and Na Biyan'er to hunt as expected. They fought steadily and strengthened the walls to clear the fields. This is how General Wenyuan's eight hundred and one hundred thousand were broken! This is where Gu succeeded!"

Sima Yi looked at Cao Cao, his eyes full of admiration...

He did not admire Cao Cao's words of success and failure, but admired him for being able to face merits and demerits so calmly.

"Come on, let's talk about it. What's the situation in Huainan like now?"

Cao Cao stood beside the carriage and ordered all the soldiers.

Immediately, Jiang Ji, who had just been praised by Cao Cao, reported truthfully: "Previously, Dongwu raided Hefei. Generals Le Jin and Li Dian fought to the death. In the end, General Li Dian was captured, and General Le Jin's troops were almost wiped out. Soochow now occupies Hefei and is in full swing."

"What a Jiangdong Biyaner!" Cao Cao sighed with emotion: "The defeat of Xiaoyaojin and the shame of Xiaoyaojin have been completely wiped out by their battle! I am sorry for Wen Yuan's voice that made Jiangdong 'stop crying'."

Zhang Liao had already led troops to greet Cao Cao. When he heard Cao Cao's emotion, he immediately said: "Hefei is the stronghold and barrier for attacking Soochow. Once it falls to Soochow, the entire Huainan will always be in its reach, and the prime minister will not be able to attack Ru again." Must mouth."

Cao Cao's hand drew a line along the Shouchun City in front of him, as if connecting the Hefei City and Shouchun, which were a hundred miles away and arriving at dusk.

...Cao Cao said with emotion: "If I want to capture the city of Hefei, Biyan'er also wants to capture Shouchun. Biyan'er knows better than Gu. If Shouchun is captured, then with Jianghuai as the base, Soochow can finally avoid that dilemma." In the battle of beasts, only Soochow has the capital to compete with Gu for the world... This blue-eyed boy is in Huainan, looking at Xuzhou and Qingzhou! This blue-eyed boy has a bit of his elder brother's ambition!"

At this moment, a scout rushed here, "Report——", the scout knelt down, "Prime Minister, I just got the news that Wu Hou personally led the troops and added 30,000 troops to Hefei. If they arrive in Hefei City, we will There are no less than 70,000 soldiers and armor."

As soon as these words came out, the generals and military advisors present were all surprised.

"Look..." Cao Cao slowly sat back on Wuyu's carriage, "What a great Sun Zhongmou. He had never brought out so many soldiers and horses in the Battle of Chibi. He was determined to hunt with Gu Hui in Huainan..."

Zhang Liao handed over his hand and said: "The last general asked for a battle, and only needed 800, but he still defeated the enemy by 70,000!"

Le Jin also handed over his hand: "The last general will ask for a battle, make up for his mistakes, and make meritorious deeds."

Cao Zhi also said anxiously: "Sun Quan personally led the troops. Shouchun, Hefei, is only a hundred miles away. If the 70,000 troops and horses are allowed to join together, it will definitely become a serious problem. Father, please give the order quickly and attack them halfway... to prevent them from joining forces at one point." .”

Cao Cao took a look and saw that everyone was eager to try, but Sima Yi still held the reins of the carriage with both hands and lowered his head.

Cao Cao couldn't see his expression clearly, but it was obvious that he was neither anxious nor worried, and he didn't even feel the deep shame of being a "horseman".

Some are just a kind of light and calm that sees through everything.

For a moment, Cao Cao felt as if his thoughts were being read through by this young man, which made him feel a little angry for no reason.

Cao Cao waved his hand: "If you want to think about it again, please step aside first. We will go to Shouchun City in the evening to beat drums and discuss matters!"

Although everyone was anxious, they did not dare to make a hasty decision, so they could only bow together and retreat.

The army continued to move forward, with Sima Yi still acting as the coachman, and Cao Cao and Cao Zhi still sitting in the open-top Wuyu carriage.

Suddenly, Cao Cao asked:

"Sima Zhongda, as a lonely army Sima, what are you hiding in your heart? Tell me!"

When he was asked a question out of the blue, Sima Yi quickly picked up his energy and answered cautiously: "The Prime Minister has a keen eye. There is indeed something hidden in the official's mind. The official is thinking about 'Tian Ji's horse racing'!"

"oh?"

Everyone knows the story of Tian Ji's horse racing, but at this time, Cao Cao inevitably became a little more curious, "How did you figure it out? Tell me about it to Gu and Zijian."

Sima Yi held the horse's reins with one hand and said: "Think about it again. When Tian Ji raced with the King of Qi, at first the upper, middle and lower horses were against the upper, middle and lower horses. Tian Ji was no match for the King of Qi. After Sun Bin’s advice, the high-grade horse was aligned with the king’s medium-grade horse, the medium-grade horse was aligned with the king’s low-grade horse, and the low-grade horse was aligned with the king’s high-grade horse… So far, we have achieved a complete victory!”

"Now Xiangfan, Jiangxia, and Huainan are connected together. The lower officials are stupid, and there are three armies and horses, but they can't figure out which one is Prime Minister Cao's high-grade horse, which one is Prime Minister Cao's middle-grade horse, and which one is low-grade horse. I also don’t know where the top, middle and bottom horses of the Sun-Liu Alliance are arranged?”

"Ha ha ha ha…"

As soon as these words came out, Cao Cao laughed. This Sima Yi's idea really surprised him, but also made him wary, "Since this question was asked by Zhongda, then Zhongda should tell me your answer!"

this…

Sima Yi was obviously hesitant, and he said slowly, "The Prime Minister personally took command, and General Zhang Wenyuan was the vanguard. Naturally, there were high-quality horses all the way to Huainan. The Sun-Liu coalition led by Sun Quan dispatched 70,000 troops to meet the Prime Minister in Huainan. Their strength Far better than Jiangxia and Xiangfan in Jingzhou, so in terms of military strength alone, he is also a top-notch horse!"

"As for General Xu Huang and Guan Yunchang, General Xu Huang is good at the Tenth Level of Julu and is a general who combines offense and defense. Guan Yunchang has experienced hundreds of battles, and his Guan family army is invincible. However... General Xu and Guan Yunchang are limited by their military strength. This side deserves it. It’s a medium horse!”

Sima Yi's words made Cao Cao nod happily.

"Go on..."

"General Yu Jin led the Runan Army, combined with the Nanyang Army, and had 50,000 troops. His opponent Guan Lin was only a fifteen-year-old boy. He had never had the experience of leading an army alone, let alone whether Guan Lin would be as good as Zhao Kuo usually talks about military affairs on paper. His army alone is only more than 10,000, and he has to divide his troops to garrison in various cities in Jiangxia... In the opinion of his subordinates, Guan Lin is the inferior horse of the Sun-Liu alliance. However, General Yu Jin is majestic and resolute, but he is not the prime minister. The inferior horse!"

After listening to Sima Yi's words, Cao Cao remained silent for a long time...

After pondering for a long time, Cao Cao laughed: "Hahahaha...according to Zhongda's intention, I have two middle-class horses and one high-class horse!"

Sima Yi lowered his head and did not dare to speak.

Cao Cao pondered again and whispered instructions to the left and right.

"Where is Xu Chu?"

"The general will be here!" Xu Chu, who was riding a horse on the side, quickly agreed.

"According to Gu's decree, let Le Jin lead 30,000 troops to secretly support Yu Jin...to attack Jiangxia!"

"Promise!" Xu Chu accepted the order.

Cao Zhiyou was confused, but Sima Yi had already handed over his hand and said: "The Prime Minister knows it clearly!"

"Hahahaha..." Cao Cao laughed, "Zhongda, you are right. Xiangfan, Jiangxia, and Huainan are the first-line battlefields, and the key to this battlefield is not Xiangfan and Huainan, but Jiangxia and Nanyang... Zhongma If it is not enough, I will increase the number of troops in Nanyang to 80,000, and let this superior horse trample Jiangxia. If Jiangxia is determined, the other two groups of soldiers and horses will be very powerful, and it will be easy to defeat the enemy!"

Hearing this, Sima Yi took a deep breath.

After all, the prime minister listened to his strategy.

This is completely different from Tian Ji's horse racing.

Instead, concentrate superior forces to destroy the enemy's weakest line of defense...

This move was tried and tested many times during the Battle of Guandu, Yanjin Battlefield, Baima Battlefield, and when Guan Yu beheaded Yan Liang and Wen Chou. Cao Cao was very familiar with it!

It seems that he is aware of Sima Yi's meritorious service...

Cao Zhi's eyes rolled as he thought of his words when he said goodbye to Li Miao...

Li Miao's earnest instructions were ringing in his ears.

"Zijian, leave it to me in Luoyang, and in Shouchun, you have to find ways to get rid of that Sima Zhongda!" 』

"As long as he dies, the three Cao Zihuan will not be your opponents. The crown prince will be yours, and Zhen Ji will be yours too——"

I am thinking about this, especially Zhen Ji...

Cao Zhi's face condensed slightly.

Cao Cao saw that his beloved son looked wrong, and immediately asked: "What's wrong with Zijian?"

Cao Zhi replied softly, because Sima Yi was riding the horse, he said in a very light and thin voice that only he and Cao Cao could hear: "My child... When the child heard Sima Zhongda and his father talking about Tian Ji's horse racing, he suddenly thought Got a horse…”

Cao Cao asked: "Is it a poem about horses?"

"No!" Cao Zhi said solemnly, "It's... the dream that my father once had!"

Ding…

Following Cao Zhi's words, Cao Cao's eyes suddenly condensed, and his eyes were sharp.

After his son's reminder, he suddenly woke up.

——Three horse troughs!

——It’s the three-horse trough!

When Cao Zhi saw his father's expression, he quickly added.

"My child remembers that during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Tian Ji of Qi State, who raced with the King of Qi, did not end well. As the saying goes, 'If you show your sharpness, you will inevitably be killed!'"

Because of Cao Zhi's reminder, Cao Cao was not only thinking of Tian Ji. Tian Ji was sued by Zou Ji...the civil servant who "satisfied the king of Qi and accepted remonstrances", and finally fled to the Chu Kingdom...all the clan members perished!

Tian Ji's horse racing...this is a stupid victory.

Cao Cao thought more about the three-horse trough, and Sima... was also a horse!

Cao Zhi's soft words are still being heard.

"There are not many people who can pry into my father's thoughts——"

For a moment, Cao Cao felt a coldness on his back.

Inexplicably, for a moment, he and Cao Zhi had the same idea.

So much so that he recalled what Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao told him before he died.

——"I am in charge of the school affairs office and know Sima Yi better than my lord. This Sima Yi has far-reaching intentions that I cannot match. I originally thought that I could suppress him for several years and slowly conquer him for my lord... But... Now, if he is still unable to be used by the lord, the lord must kill him as soon as possible. He cannot be used by the Han Dynasty, Sun Quan and Liu Bei. Once he is released, there will be endless troubles. Remember, remember..."

Cao Cao especially remembered that he grabbed Guo Jia's hand and said in shock.

"I know it, I know it!"

——‘After so many years, if Zijian hadn’t reminded me, I would have forgotten about this matter. 』

Cao Cao stopped and looked at Sima Yi who was driving the horse, and thought to himself:

——‘Or, what method did Sima Zhongda use to make me forget it? 』

Thinking of this, Cao Cao's eyes became even sharper.

At the same time, Sima Yi, who was driving the horse, suddenly felt a chill on his back. He knew that Cao Cao and Cao Zhi were talking, but he didn't know what they were talking about.

However, a strong evil spirit and cold aura shrouded the place, casting a heavy haze on his mood.

…

…

Jiangxia, Anlu City.

This is a relatively large city in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. It is also the main battlefield of the Jiangxia battlefield and the duel between Guan Lin and Yu Jin.

This city at the junction of Nanyang and Jiangxia has left a mark in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Period, and even in the Qin Dynasty.

——In the twenty-eighth year of the First Emperor of Qin, the First Emperor of Qin went on a tour of the southeastern prefectures and counties. He first went to Mount Tai and Mount Liangfu to enshrine Zen, then along the coast of the Bohai Sea, passing through Chengshan and Zhifu (fu two sounds) to Langye Terrace, and then southwest, passing through Pengcheng, crossing the Huaihe River in the south, passing through Hengshan and Nanjun, returning to Wuguan, and finally returning to Xianyang.

Among them, Hengshan, Xiangshan, Nanjun, and Wuguan are all extremely important places around Anlu.

At this moment, Yu Jin had 30,000 Runan troops and 20,000 Nanyang troops stationed in two places. The Nanyang troops were stationed at the foot of Hengshan Mountain, and another army was stationed in the dense forest a hundred miles away from Anlu City.

Because it is winter, the tree trunks are withered and there are no leaves, so there is no need to worry about fire attack...

And these withered tree trunks are natural materials for the army to set up camp...

Inexhaustible.

In this way, the two villages are at each other's horns, which is the consistent style of building military strongholds in Jin Dynasty.

"call--"

The military stronghold at the foot of Hengshan Mountain was garrisoned by Nanyang County. Wancheng Prefect Hou Yin and Nanyang Duwei Weikai were stationed here.

Zhu Ling was demoted to chief of logistics for disobeying military orders and was in charge of the important task of transporting grain.

It's just that... even though he was appointed as the chief of logistics, one hundred and twenty military sticks were enough to keep him out of bed for half a month.

"Ah...please wipe it gently for me!"

At this moment, in the logistics tent, Zhu Ling's son, Captain Zhu Shu, was applying medicine to his father Zhu Ling.

Zhu Ling vented his forbidden resentment on his son.

Very loud sound…

Very bad tempered.

Outside the door, a group of Zhu Ling's soldiers, who were originally equipped with horses and armor and had a prominent position in the army, were now assigned to the logistics side along with Zhu Ling.

They were also talking about it.

"General Zhu was originally a general of Yuan Shao. When Prime Minister Cao Cao conquered Tao Qian, General Zhu was sent by Yuan Shao to assist Cao Cao in the battle. Finally, after the Battle of Xuzhou, most of the deputy generals returned to Yuan Shao, but General Zhu led his troops to stay. After coming down, General Zhu was the first to follow Prime Minister Cao...On the contrary, Yu Jin, who is he? How could he be so good at attacking General Zhu? Is he worthy?"

"Yes, in these years General Zhu followed Prime Minister Cao in his expedition to Shouchun and intercepted and killed Yuan Shu. It was General Zhu who forced Yuan Shu to die on the road without even drinking a mouthful of honey syrup. After Jizhou was pacified, Zhonglang general Cheng Ang rebelled. It was General Zhu who killed him on the spot. Even though he was misunderstood by Cao Gong because of this, and Cao Gong usurped the military power and gave it to Yu Jin, he never complained... Why did he hold General Zhu's soldiers in Yu Jin's hands? Why? "

"Bah, of the 30,000 soldiers from Runan, 20,000 were originally under the command of General Zhu. We will give him face and respect him as general, but this cannot be the reason for him to bully our General Zhu!"

At this moment, a voice came out, "We should jointly make a speech to Duke Cao, or gather together to demand justice from Yu Jin. If there is no justice for this matter today, we will rebel against him. of…"

As the last voice came out.

A "boom" sound came from Zhu Ling's tent.

"Dad...Dad..." Zhu Ling's son Zhu Shu shouted.

All the guards rushed in, only to see Zhu Ling fall down from the bed.

He endured the severe pain in his buttocks and said loudly: "That is to say, this general cannot go to the ground, otherwise...this general will take your heads. If you...you dare to speak nonsense again, this general...this general...ah..."

Another burst of heartbreaking pain...

No one can go to the ground in a month after bearing a hundred and twenty army clubs.

No matter how strong Zhu Ling's body bones are, this time will not be less than half a month.

He was in immense pain at this moment...

"General Zhu..."

The guards quickly helped Zhu Ling back to the bed.

Huh...huh...

Zhu Ling was breathing heavily. He wanted to speak, but the severe pain made him speechless.

"General Zhu... I won't dare to say anything nonsense until I realize my mistake -"

"roll…"

Following Zhu Ling's hoarse "get out" voice, all the guards exited one after another.

His son Zhu Shu felt sorry for his father and understood the behavior of these soldiers. He sighed and said, "These are soldiers who have been with my father for several years. Why should my father be like this?"

"Ahem..." Zhu Ling coughed, but he still forcefully took out a letter from his arms, "The more you have to do something, the less likely you are to reveal the slightest bit of news, you... you send this letter to Anlu City for me! Send it to Guan Lin, Guan Yunqi, the fourth son of the Guan family..."

ah…

A moment ago, he was still a loyal father, but the sudden words left Zhu Shu completely speechless. He could no longer tell... whether it was his real father just now or now...

"Dad...you...you want to rebel? Rebel to Guan Lin? But...but..."

Zhu Shu's tone was hesitant...

"Don't ask anything, just do as I say..." Zhu Ling's tone was unusually firm.

"Could it be that father is...faking surrender?"

Zhu Shu's abrupt words.

Zhu Ling stretched out his hand and wanted to hit his son, but his huge weakness made him unable to do anything. "You...don't talk nonsense, you...you must be a father who really wants to rebel!"

Zhu Ling stared deeply at his son...

He couldn't say anything more, but his heart was throbbing.

——"Son, your future position as a marquis...will be yours now!" 』

…

…

Jiaozhou, Lu Jiajun military camp.

"The Marquis of Wu has an edict. It is common for soldiers to hear victory or defeat. Yu Lin's expedition failed. General Lu should regroup and fight again at Nabu Mountain City! Gu You is waiting for Boyan to go to the winter solstice to taste wine and enjoy the plum blossoms!"

As Sun Quan's escort general Jia Hua read loudly.

Lu Meng had delivered the "200,000 stones of grain" raised as scheduled. Lu Xun saluted with difficulty with the support of his son Lu Yan.

"Thank you so much to Marquis Wu for your trust, and also to General Lu Meng for your help. If Yu Lin is captured, it will all be due to Marquis Wu's wisdom. General Lu will take the lead in ensuring that the food and grass are in good condition."

Lu Xun looked like a young man whose edges had been smoothed away.

Jia Hua smiled in return and led a group of cadres back together with the laborers escorting the grain and grass.

Lu Xun watched them slowly walk away.

Lu Yan next to him pursed his lips and said, "Dad, could it be that we are overthinking it? Could it be that the Fourth Young Master asked Han Xuan to alienate dad from Wuhou and General Lu!"

"Ahem..."

Hearing this, Lu Xun coughed violently and said lightly: "How I wish I was overthinking..."

As this sound fell.

Lu Xun's expression changed, and his eyes suddenly became more serious, "Check, check now, every bag of grain must be opened... Every bag must be checked clearly, clearly -"
