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

Jiangxia, Anlu County.

"——Hit your second uncle!"

The magistrate of Anlu County, Jiang Gan, slapped a deputy general in the face. His voice roared out, startling several birds in their nests covered by snow.

At this moment, Jiang Qianyou looked furious, "Xiling, the seat of Jiangxia, has been lost, Liu Ye has been captured, Zhang Yun has been killed...what else are we fighting for? Kaicheng...quickly open the city and surrender!"

…

Jiangxia, Shiyang County.

Wang Can, one of the Seven Sons of Jian'an, the leading novelist during the Three Kingdoms period and the author of "Heroes", is now the county magistrate here.

He was having a leisurely meal when suddenly the city gate defender burst in with disgrace and reported the matter.

"Xiling County was captured by Guan Yu... Liu Ye was captured, Zhang Yun was killed, Jiangxia Navy all surrendered... all Jiangxia Navy warships were captured by Guan Yu!"

Wang Can hasn't reacted yet!

"County Magistrate...Mr. County Magistrate, no good, Guan Jiajun is already five miles outside the city!"

Wang Can was so surprised that he couldn't speak, "What are you talking nonsense about? Wasn't Xiling County conquered by Guan Yu? Where did the Guan army come from here?"

"It's really Guan Jiajun. Your Majesty, please go and have a look!"

Wang Can was stunned and quickly ran to the top of the city. He saw the men and horses of the Guan Family Army approaching Shiyang County in an orderly manner. He even saw clearly the military flag of the Guan Family Army - "Zhou"!

Wang Can's heart skipped a beat. He had heard for a long time that there was a big man with a sword beside Guan Yu. He was extremely skilled in martial arts. It was Zhou Cang... Zhou Cang is here!

Wang Can was so frightened that he half-opened his mouth, salivated at the corners of his mouth, and stammered, "Actually... we really got called?"

The defender asked at the side: "Lord County Magistrate? What should we do?"

Wang Can sat down, tilted his mouth, and said in despair, "I'm just a fuss maker, what can I do? Kaicheng, surrender!"

…

Jiangxia, Pingchun County!

Guan Yinping had just given the order to attack the city. The soldiers were rushing forward when suddenly the gate opened wide.

The county magistrate here, Ruan Yu, who is also one of the Seven Sons of Jian'an, strode out. This middle-aged man, now forty-seven years old, held the Pingchun County household register alone in one hand and held up the county magistrate's seal ribbon in his other hand.

As he walked out, he chanted loudly: "Driving out of Beiguo Gate, Ma Fan refused to gallop... He got off the car and hesitated, breaking the withered poplar branches... My mother left me dead, and my stepmother hated orphans. I was hungry and cold, without food and clothing, and my actions Beat me with whips. Leave me here..."

This is a song he once composed called "Han Yuefu". In the form of a first-person autobiography, it reveals the ruthlessness of such a family through the tragic fate of an orphan who was abused and abandoned by his stepmother.

It's just that... this poem seems somewhat meaningful when recited at this time.

Of course, Guan Yinping is not that cultured.

In the snow, she couldn't hear clearly what the middle-aged man was chanting.

Until Ruan Yu stepped in front of Guan Yinping, he raised his eyes and met Guan Yinping's gaze: "The thief Cao called me to be an official, but I refused three times and hid in the mountains, but I didn't want the thief Cao to set fire to the mountain and force me to do so." Being an official... I once wrote, 'The Heavenly Gate opens, and the Wei Dynasty will be lucky'. This is all against my will. Finally... I finally waited for Uncle Liu Huang's people! If you had arrived earlier... I... I would have surrendered long ago!"

Conclusive words.

Guan Yinping didn't know that the man in front of him was a scholar whom Cao Cao admired very much. Half of the letters to the north were written by Chen Lin, and half were written by him.

Of course, these are not important to Guan Yinping at all.

She took the seal ribbon and Hubo, grinned slightly, and showed a faint smile.

——"Sure enough, the weapon is invincible. The prophecy of the fourth brother is so accurate!" 』

…

Jiangxia, Zhu County.

When Liao Hua and Zhuge Ke arrived here with five thousand people, the civil and military officials of Zhu County had already opened the city gate, and even prepared food and wine in front of the city gate.

Because of the flying snow catkins, the mouth of some wine jars is covered with snow catkins, which looks unique.

Liao Hua and Zhuge Ke were confused.

An official had already arrived in front of the two men, "Two generals, our county magistrate and county captain have fled north, and we are the only ones left here. We... how dare we resist the heavenly soldiers? We... we surrender!"

Liao Hua observed the people in front of him with vigilance and asked suspiciously: "The county magistrate and the county lieutenant knew about fleeing north? Then why didn't you escape?"

"The families of the county magistrate and county captain are in the north. If they surrender, their lives will be at risk. We are all locals and our families are here. Whoever occupies this place, we will serve."

The official answered very honestly.

And his words made Zhuge Ke suddenly realize something.

"I see…"

Liao Hua looked back at him.

Zhuge Ke said calmly: "I finally understand the difference between my vision and Master Yunqi's..."

"In my opinion, this Jiangxia is just a cold enemy city, but in Master Yunqi's opinion, this place has never been an enemy city. It is just a place where groups of poor officials and people live!"

"Changing the king's flag at the top of the city...it doesn't matter whether it's the Han Dynasty or the Wei Dynasty, it doesn't matter whether the traitor Cao Cao or the emperor's uncle! Whoever is the county magistrate...the officials and people here will follow him!"

this…

Liao Hua looked at Zhuge Ke as if he were a fool, and he wanted to say in his heart.

——"Does this also require enlightenment? 』

But then he thought that both of them were working for Mr. Guan Lin and were just grasshoppers in the same boat, so his attitude immediately softened a lot.

Liao Hua nodded deliberately and heavily.

"——Master Zhuge is right! Now... don't say anything, enter the city and take over the city defense!"

anyway…

Guan Yu ordered that all counties in Jiangxia should be captured within five days.

But where can I use five days?

Ever since Liu Ye was captured, Zhang Yun was killed, and the news came out that all Jiangxia naval forces had surrendered, Jiangxia... had already switched sides.

Three days have not passed yet, the entire city of Jiangxia and every county seat have been transformed into the king's flag!

For these officials, soldiers, and people in Jiangxia...

They never care about loyalty, they only serve the master here!

When the army entered the city, Zhuge Ke stood on the tower of a county town for the first time. He looked at the north... To the north was the vast Nanyang Plain!

He looked to the southeast, where was Shouchun after Hefei...the place where Soochow wanted to reach with all its national strength, and the place where Soochow could break the situation.

He couldn't help but think about it.

--"This is…"

——"This is something that Soochow, a "trapped beast still fighting", will never be able to see in its lifetime! 』

With this in mind, Zhuge Ke turned around and looked south again...

This time I was looking in the direction of Changsha.

He murmured: "Dad, my child... this step was the right one, but dad? What about you? I'm afraid that this time you face off against Young Master Yun Qi, you will fail again, right?"

Speaking of which…

A faint sigh came out of Zhuge Ke's mouth, melting into the snow in the sky, dyed with pure white color!

…

…

Changsha County, beside the Laodao River, next to Luohan Village.

Zhuge Jin was looking at the water, his eyes were empty and he was staring ahead.

This riverside... is where everything started when he and Ke'er came to Jingzhou.

Today, the heavy snow in Xiangfan does not cover Changsha.

Such was the weather during the Little Ice Age.

In the same state, it is windy and snowy in the north of Jingzhou, and bright and sunny in the south of Jingjing.

only…

There is no snow in the sky, but it does not mean that there is no snow in Zhuge Jin's heart. In fact, his heart at this moment has been wrapped in ice and snow, which is infinitely cold.

——The son is gone;

——The game was lost;

——Again, and again, and again... Once again, after adding fuel to the flames, he shot someone in the foot.

I wanted to take advantage of Xinglin's momentum to make some moves, but... the result was that Guan Lin's reputation spread in Xinglin, and Guan Yu's reputation also rose.

The discussion three days ago was still - how could Guan Gong give birth to such a rebellious son.

But now the discussion has become - a tiger father has no dog son!

"Haha..." Zhuge Jin couldn't help but smile bitterly... his smile was very sad.

at this time…

"——Hey, isn't this Mr. Zhuge, the envoy of Soochow?"

A voice suddenly chanted, and Zhuge Jin looked back. Behind him was Guan Lin...

From his tone, Zhuge Jin felt obvious ridicule, just like the ridicule and teasing that a winner should have when facing a loser.

"Master Yunqi is here? Are you looking for me?" Zhuge Jin still stood where he was, his eyes moving from Guan Lin's face back to the river, and his mood was as calm as today's "River of Knives".

"Yes, Mr. Ziyu gave Commander Zhuge a piece of blue field jade. Guan Lin must thank Mr. Ziyu for Commander Zhuge, right?"

When Zhuge Ke was mentioned, it was obvious that Zhuge Jin's mood palpitated slightly.

He pondered for a moment, closed his eyes, looked extremely tired, and a heavy sigh escaped from his lips: "Ke'er and Mr. Yunqi are similar in age. From now on, Mr. Lao Yunqi will take care of him for my 'uncle'. "

It's "uncle"...

Rather than "being a father".

With one word difference, father and son become uncle and nephew!

"That's natural." Guan Lin raised an evil smile on his lips and continued: "Mr. Ziyu cares so much about this Langya boy. I guess Yuan Xun must be very worried about Mr. Ziyu now, right?"

"What exactly do you want to say?"

Guan Lin directly showed off his cards: "I guess both Soochow and my husband contributed a lot to fueling the flames this time, right? But in the end, you didn't say it was just a stone in the foot, right? You made me a wedding dress. It's all done, sir." How should I explain to Marquis Wu when I get back?"

"That's no need for Fourth Young Master to worry about it."

"This time, you don't have a son to help you with your words!"

Guan Lin's words cast a thick layer of gloom over Zhuge Jin's mood, and his expression suddenly darkened.

As if he couldn't bear Guan Lin's victorious tone, he slightly cupped his hands and said, "If the Fourth Young Master has nothing else to do, Jin will go ahead."

As he spoke, Zhuge Jin turned around and took two steps forward.

Guan Lin's voice came out one after another, "How about I give you a great contribution?"

ah…

Zhuge Jin paused.

Although he knew that Guan Lin must have bad intentions, he still couldn't help but ask: "What great achievement?"

"Isn't your Commander-in-Chief Lu Su seriously ill? You bring him here and I'll ask Dr. Zhongjing to save him," Guan Lin blurted out.

Zhuge Jin was startled by these words.

"you you…"

"Lu Zijing is a good man!" Guan Lin said with a smile: "It would be a pity if he died on this hospital bed!"

Zhuge Jin realized that things would never be that simple.

He asked urgently: "What are your conditions? Tell me!"

"No conditions." Guan Lin spread his hands.

He simply wanted to save Lu Su this time...

Zhuge Jin's eyes became wary, "It seems that the Fourth Young Master is not related to the Governor, and they have never met each other, right?"

The implication is that without conditions, how could it be possible?

Everyone is a thousand-year-old fox, so stop pretending.

Guan Lin still spread his hands, his eyes as calm as lake water, "Really not..."

"You would be so kind?"

"If it were anyone else, of course they wouldn't, but Lu Zijing...he is a kind and honest person. I must show my kindness and save him this time."

Guan Lin explained softly: "He promoted the Sun-Liu Alliance, and he has maintained it all these years. He is very important to the Sun-Liu Alliance and to the Marquis of Wu. I have a hunch that as long as he is here, at least Within five years, the Sun-Liu Alliance will be as stable as a mountain, but if...he is taken away by God, then...this alliance will cast a thick shadow."

Guan Lin didn't finish speaking.

It's interesting...but it's so clear.

Zhuge Jin looked at Guan Lin in disbelief. "This is the reason why you want to save the Governor..."

"That's enough!" Guan Lin's tone was soft, but he spoke sincerely.

actually…

Guan Lin hesitated for a long time on whether to save Lu Su or not.

You must know that the current general situation is that the three kingdoms stand in opposition to each other. It is the alliance of Sun and Liu who unite to deal with Cao Cao. It can also be said that the boss, the second and the third are united to deal with the boss.

According to the principles and ideas of game theory, only when the oldest, second and third oldest players continue to grow at the same time, and when the oldest brother continues to fight, will the alliance become more stable.

on the contrary…

If there is only a fight between the boss, the boss, and the second boss, the result must be...the third boss is gone.

Wang Laoji fought with Jiaduobao, and He Qizheng disappeared.

Coke and Pepsi fight, and "Very" is gone.

Uni-President fights with Master Kang, and Jin Mailang is gone.

This has been true throughout the ages.

But Guan Lin can't do this. The current situation is that the third child is gone. Whether it is "Sun" or "Liu", the second child cannot beat the boss...

The number of mines is different!

Therefore, within a certain period of time, maybe five years, maybe ten years, the best and most stable situation is still that of three pillars.

Before the boss's power is eroded to a certain extent, and before the "three legs" are evenly matched, the boss, the second and the third cannot be at war with each other and must unite sincerely to fight against the boss.

Of course, this is easier said than done…

But in the entire Three Kingdoms, there are only three people who can understand this "three pillars" situation.

On Liu Bei's side is Zhuge Liang;

On Cao Wei's side is Cao Cao's "ovary" - Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo.

On the Soochow side, there is Sun Quan's "Xun Yu" - Lu Su and Lu Zijing!

Great governors such as Lu Meng, Lu Xun, and Zhu Ran may be good at commanding troops in battle, but in terms of the overall situation, they are still much inferior to Lu Su...

For example, the "white clothes crossing the river" incident that caused Guan Lin's father to be embarrassed.

If Lu Su was here, it might not happen.

Because after the Seventh Army was flooded, Sun Quan and Lu Meng could only see Guan Yu growing into the biggest threat to the Central Plains.

But Lu Su could see that Zhang Liao had been transferred from Hefei by Cao Cao, and opportunities appeared in the north and west at the same time.

After that, Lu Su made the most advantageous choice between "crossing the river in white clothes" and attacking "Hefei".

And Lu Su will definitely choose to attack "Hefei"...

Because as long as he lives for one day, he will never allow the old, second and third to have internal conflicts!

Of course, this is an analysis at the Sun-Liu Alliance level.

If we break away from this field, Lu Su's existence and Lu Su's vision... in the future, when the three pillars are truly in balance and evenly matched, they will be a major threat to Guan Lin, Guan Yu, and Liu Bei.

Can…

That's too far away.

The most urgent thing Guan Lin has to do is to unite all the forces that can be united. He must help Lu Su, an honest man, to fight him out.

If Hefei is not captured, Sun Quan will always be thinking about Jingzhou. He will be like a trapped animal!

But if we help him conquer Hefei...then the situation will suddenly become clearer.

Cao Cao will face huge threats in Huainan, Xuzhou, Qingzhou... He must gather a large number of troops and hoard them in Shouchun. In this way, with nine mines, stretched battle lines, and multi-front fighting, Cao Wei... the pressure is unprecedentedly huge. .

Therefore, Guan Lin came specially to look for Zhuge Jin...

——Just to save the honest man Lu Su;

However, it doesn't seem to be as smooth as imagined.

call…

After Zhuge Jin let out a soft cry, he said with emotion: "I know the good intentions of the Fourth Young Master, but... Wu Hou will not agree to send the Governor to Changsha, unless the Fourth Young Master allows Dr. Zhong Jing to return to Soochow with me. If so, …Wu Houding and I are deeply grateful to the Fourth Young Master.”

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Guan Lin waved his hand directly, "Mr. Zhuge, I am honest with you today, and I hope you will be honest with me. You and I know how Hua Tuo died in the hands of Cao Cao. If the miracle doctor Zhongjing goes to Jiangdong, will he be able to come back? Will the Marquis of Wu be willing to let him come back? So...it is impossible for me to agree to the miracle doctor Zhongjing going to Soochow!"

"Then... this matter will be difficult to handle." Zhuge Jin shook his head, "As you are worried, wouldn't Marquis Wu be so worried?"

With this in mind, Zhuge Jin shook his head regretfully and continued to move forward...

He was about to go far away.

Who would have thought that at this moment, Guan Lin added a sentence with a rather regretful tone:

"It's a pity. I originally wanted to give Hefei to Governor Zijing as a meeting gift. Alas... What a pity, what a pity!"

This time... Guan Lin also turned around, stretched out, and gestured to leave.

But Zhuge Jin stood still, and the "sensitive" nerve in his heart seemed to be touched all of a sudden.

He ran over in an instant, his eyes full of expectation, and he grabbed Guan Lin's arm.

"Guan Fourth Young Master, stay!"

"Fourth Young Master Guan——"

Guan Lin looked at Zhuge Jin's eager eyes and opened his mouth teasingly: "Mr. Zhuge is leaving!"

"I'm not leaving!" Zhuge Jin said solemnly, "I don't dare to leave anymore -"

…

…

Three days ago, Zhuge Liang set off from Chengdu, and today... finally arrived in Bazhong.

He came to inspect the local indigenous business, as well as the land and field patterns...

Including the payment of various taxes in Bazhong area.

Reminded by Guan Lin's answer sheet, Zhuge Liang had already begun to establish the "Commercial Department" and conduct research before implementing the "dividing a small family into an area".

However, the composition of the Bashu region is complex and the differences between regions are huge. It is not easy to achieve those two points...

Zhuge Liang needs a lot of time.

Since arriving in Bazhong today, Zhuge Liang has been able to feel the distribution of acres of land here, the number of tenants, the power of wealthy landowners, and the fact that tenants cannot make ends meet every year.

…Each of these is a huge obstacle to the ‘national policy’ of apportioning one person to another.

"Looks like we need to do it step by step!"

“Haste makes waste!”

Standing in a field, Zhuge Liang wore a bamboo hat... against the noon sun.

Ma Su followed Zhuge Liang, and he also questioned the merchants and farmers here with great interest.

He knew that Zhuge's military advisor was here to inspect commerce and agriculture, and he also knew that Zhuge's military advisor planned to establish a commercial department, which would be equivalent to a specialized department to manage merchants in Shu.

But Ma Su is not optimistic...

He chirped and murmured: "I don't know where the military advisor heard this proposal? Establishing a commercial department? Haha... when it comes to filling the treasury, what can be done faster than casting small coins?"

Ma Su's eyes were shining, as if he had found the fastest way to make money.

at this time.

A fast horse was galloping on the official road. It seemed that because he saw Zhuge Liang, he quickly got off the horse and ran quickly to the fields.

When he arrived in front of Zhuge Liang.

The man gasped for air.

"Why are you so anxious?"

The person who came was a junior high school student, a native of Bazhong.

He hurriedly said: "Reporting to Zhuge Military Advisor, unfortunately... a large number of Cao Jun's troops were discovered... in the mountain road fifty miles away from Bazhong!"

"What?"

As soon as the news came out, Zhuge Liang, who had always been calm and composed, quickly frowned, and his expression became extremely nervous in just a moment.

Ma Su reacted quickly, and he quickly reminded, "Oh no, three days ago... my lord... ordered people to remove all the protection on Micang Road and Lychee Road. If the Wei army comes to kill, I'm afraid... I'm afraid... A flat river... can reach directly to the Bazhong City!"

For a moment, Ma Di's eyebrows couldn't help but count down.

Zhuge Liang quickly asked: "How many more soldiers can Bazhong raise?"

The primary school replied truthfully: "Most of them go home for the holidays...In a short period of time, they can...raise more than a thousand."

As soon as he said this, Ma Su felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy, "Commander Zhuge, Bazhong is in danger now. You need to evacuate here immediately!"

"——If I leave, Bazhong will be gone!" Zhuge Liang spoke firmly.

"That?" Ma Su also panicked.

"Don't panic..." Zhuge Liang made a decision as if after only a very brief thought, "Bashu, Bashu... Without Bazhong, how can there be Shuzhong? Bazhong cannot be lost no matter what!"

Zhuge Liang immediately ordered to the small school, "Take me to the tower immediately."

"Zhuge Military Advisor... there are only more than a thousand people in Bazhong, I'm afraid... I'm afraid..." The small school looked embarrassed... He knew that in today's Xichuan, if Zhuge Military Advisor makes a mistake, then... it will be devastating for Uncle Liu Huang Sexual blow.

"I don't need any of these more than a thousand people. I will hide them all... and open the city gate!"

"ah…"

Zhuge Liang's words shocked the small school.

Zhuge Liang then ordered Ma Su:

"——Young Chang, go to the carriage and get my guqin!"

"Is this what the military advisor wants?" Ma Su looked horrified.

"I want Bazhong to become an empty city." Zhuge Liang said calmly: "For now, I can only bet on Cao Cao, bet that he is suspicious by nature, bet that he has not left Hanzhong at all, bet that he will not dare to enter the city!"

Following Zhuge Liang’s words…

Ma Su's eyes became more and more frightened.

he realized.

This time, if the two parties in the game are Zhuge Military Advisor and Cao Cao...

That’s not just a battle at the pinnacle of strategy;

It’s the ultimate game of courage and psychology!

…

…
