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

The night is cold and desolate.

A waning moon hangs in the sky.

Under Lu Meng's expected eyes, Sun Deng arrived as expected. He used the command flag to let go of Lu Meng with his sword and ax hand, and personally put on the armor for Lu Meng.

"I pledge to my father, and General Lu will take command. If Hefei City cannot be captured before sunset tomorrow...General Lu and I will go to the underworld together——"

Sun Deng held a halberd in his hand, his eyes were scarlet, and a strand of black hair was blown up by the wind, covering his handsome face.

At the same time, he took the long sword from the guard and handed it to Lu Meng.

The sword was shining brightly.

Lu Meng placed the sword on his chest.

After a long time, he jumped directly onto the execution stake in front of him and shouted: "Beat the drum..."

——Dong dong dong!

Under the dark sky, the drums beat like thunder.

All Jiangdong soldiers heard the drum sound and rushed over one after another...

At this moment, Lu Meng was holding a sword and looking at the soldiers in the audience.

His resonant voice shook the sky: "Children of Jiangdong, since the defeat of Xiaoyaojin, I, Lu Meng, have never slept a full night. It's not that I don't want to sleep, but that I'm afraid... I'm scared, I'm panicked, I always When I close my eyes, all I think about is that 100,000 of us were beaten by 800 people in such a miserable state, we were running away with our heads in our hands, I was ashamed, how could I sleep?"

"Today, our Jiangdong children once again attacked the Hefei City. Zhang Liao is not here, and those Shanxi soldiers are not here either. If this is the case, Hefei City still cannot be captured, then I, the Jiangdong children, might as well change our name to Jiangdong Shubei... We will suffer Despite the ridicule of the world, our children and grandchildren will be shrouded in the swords and swords of Cao Cao's thieves..."

"This is the hometown that we dream about. Are we going to let thieves run free because of our cowardice and incompetence? Brothers, today the eldest son has pledged his guarantor to the lord, and I, Lu Meng, will temporarily take over the position of commander-in-chief. If tomorrow If Hefei cannot be captured at sunset, I, Lu Meng, and the eldest son will die together... You will also bear the name of rats for the rest of your life!"

"There is only one way to defeat fear, and that is to defeat him. This general will ask you... When Cao Cao's 800,000-strong army marched south on the Chibi battlefield, how did we achieve a great victory? Have you all forgotten? That sentence before the battle Have you forgotten the slogan too?"

"No--"

"No--"

"How can we forget?"

"Don't dare forget!"

Following Lu Meng's voice, some soldiers responded, and more and more people responded.

Lu Meng glanced at Sun Deng and said loudly: "This is the courage of the children of Jiangdong. I, the son of Jiangdong..."

Everyone shouted in unison:

"Jiangdong Erlang, I swear to the death and will not surrender. I would rather die on the battlefield than die in the hotbed——"

"good…"

Lu Meng waved to the left and shouted: "Where are Generals Zhou Tai, Lu Fan and Zhu Huan?"

"exist!"

"Three generals led 3,000 troops to pretend to attack the west gate. The early offensive should be fierce. They should attract all the defenders over and wait until dawn to slow down the offensive!"

"promise!"

Lu Meng waved his hand to the right again and said, "Where are Generals Jiang Qin, Xu Sheng, and Ding Feng?"

"exist!"

"The three of them led 3,000 troops to pretend to attack the east city gate. They were similar to the attack on the west city gate. They were much more powerful and attracted all the defenders! The offensive slowed down at dawn!"

"promise!"

Lu Meng asked again: "Where are Generals Han Dang, Gan Ning, and Pan Zhang?"

"exist!"

"The three of them will lead an army of 30,000 to attack the north gate. It is completely opposite to the east and west gates. The early offensive should be slow. Wait until daybreak to let the defenders relax, and then go all out and concentrate all the troops to attack the city one by one!"

"promise!"

North City Gate, this is the main line of defense!

"Where are Generals Ma Zhong, He Qi, and Zhang Cheng?"

"exist!"

"There is no need to attack the South City Gate. You will lead 20,000 troops to ambush in the trees on both sides of the official road outside the South City Gate. If any thieves escape, a small group of soldiers will be spared. If they encounter thousands of soldiers, they will be severely beaten. Come on! Don’t let a thief go!”

"promise…"

After giving these instructions, Lu Meng faced Sun Deng and asked, "Eldest Young Master, is there anything else you want to give me?"

Sun Deng quickly handed over his hand: "General Lu is in command, he is well deployed and strategizing, which is admirable——"

Lu Meng didn't answer, but he thought to himself.

——"Guan Yunchang had a son, Guan Lin, so he could win Jiangxia. Now it's a blessing that my lord has descendants... Otherwise, who can persuade my lord?" 』

Thoughts on this…

Lu Meng shouted coldly again: "I heard you clearly, then, set off immediately to fight... Hefei!"

"Between sunset tomorrow, I will attack the city!"

——Dong dong dong!

After a while, the drum beat again.

——Half the city is filled with smoke and sand, blowing in the wind;

——Half the city is filled with smoke and sand, and blood and tears are falling;

——Remnant cavalry and iron armor are spread all over the world.

In just a moment, countless torches lit up under the dark sky... Fire clouds rushed towards the city, and the city was about to wither!

"Kill, kill..."

"dash forward."

"Put up a ladder, a ladder..."

In an instant, countless Jiangdong soldiers rushed toward Hefei City.

——The enemy must be surrounded.

——Scratch it on all sides.

This former Wu Xia Amen has become a handsome man who can stand alone today... His command shocked Sun Deng and also frightened Sun Quan in the Chinese army's tent.

Some personal guards had already reported Lu Meng's deployment to Sun Quan.

After hearing this, Sun Quan's mood seemed to become much more complicated, and he asked his guards to retreat.

He was alone, standing with his hands behind his hands. His purple beard was blown by the wind outside and looked extremely messy, but... this messiness was far less than the messy Wan Yi in his heart.

Thinking back on Lu Meng's deployment, and then thinking about his commander-in-chief, and at the same time... Guan Lin's words of "Any dog ​​can win" kept coming to his mind.

Finally, Sun Quan murmured.

He seemed to have recognized a fact clearly, and he chanted: "So... when it comes to command, Gu is indeed not as good as a dog?"

——"Woof woof!"

At this moment, wild dogs that came from nowhere happened to appear around Sun Quan's military tent.

The barking of a dog that would not have been noticed by anyone at first... made Sun Quan's originally calm eyes suddenly become extremely gloomy again.

"Somebody come!"

"exist!"

"Catch the barking dog just now and cut it into pieces—"

Uh... all the guards looked at each other and immediately handed over their hands.

"Here——"

Who would have thought that the current leader of Soochow would be "downgraded" to compete with a dog!

How could they know.

At this moment, Sun Quan...how much does he hate these barking dogs?

…

…

Over here, under the city of Hefei, the flames of war are raging...the sky is stained with blood.

Over there, the night in Changsha County was unusually peaceful.

Guan Lin had a sexual dream, dreaming that a woman was thinking about his body...

There is not just one, there are at least three, and they are all young girls.

One is that when you put on the armor, you can ride on a horse on the battlefield, and when you take off the armor, you can store it in the bridal chamber.

One is an unruly princess who can make everything inside and outside the house look completely out of shape. She is also very arrogant.

One is peace-loving Mu Mu Chunshan, a quiet princess who keeps her home in order...

All in all, different styles. Guan Linyou remembered that when he slapped the unruly princess on the face, the unruly princess immediately became honest and cooperated.

This can be regarded as a game in a dream...

When he woke up from the dream, it was already dawn, and Guan Lin discovered... He was still careless in his adolescence... There was still something left in the spring dream last night!

Guan Lin couldn't help but shook his head, it was really a bad and embarrassing feeling.

He said to himself...

"Why are you having erotic dreams?"

Mi Yang, who was waiting outside the door, seemed to have heard the movement inside the house, and quickly reminded him: "Mr. Han just sent someone to send a message, saying that the guests from Jiaozhou have arrived. When the Fourth Young Master wakes up, let me inform the Fourth Young Master."

"Oh..." Guan Lin nodded...

He quickly put on some clothes, wiped himself quickly, put on his pants... then opened the door and ordered:

"Walk…"

…

There was a banquet at Han Xuan's house. Han Xuan, Gong Zhi, and a visitor from Jiaozhou were sitting here on their knees.

This visitor from Jiaozhou is not young, he is over seventy, but he has a fairy-like appearance and is well-maintained, especially the goat's whiskers, which hang down neatly, showing that he is not of his age. That unique spirit and precipitation.

Han Xuan smiled and said: "I never thought that Mr. Shi would come so quickly. I just sent someone to invite him. The Fourth Master Guan is still awake, so I'm afraid he might..."

This visitor from Jiaozhou didn't mind, and while stroking his beard, he said: "I came here at starry night, which is a bit rude. Since I have something to ask of the Fourth Young Master from Jiaozhou, why not wait?"

at this time.

——"The Fourth Young Master Guan has arrived."

Following the announcement, Guan Lin strode in. He still felt something strange in his kidneys. All adolescent men...understand this feeling!

He noticed Han Xuan and Gong Zhi, and also noticed the immortal old man.

Guan Lin was uncharacteristically modest and said: "This junior has met Mr. Han, and this..."

Before Guan Lin could ask questions, Han Xuan quickly introduced him, "This is Mr. Xie Shi, the governor of the Seventh County of Jiaozhou!"

Ouch…

As soon as he said this, Guan Lin's heart skipped a beat, and there was nothing strange about his kidneys!

His eyes looked straight at Shi Xie...

I muttered in my heart.

——"Is this the living god of the Yue Kingdom?" The famous 'country turtle'... ah no, it's the famous Shi Xie? Really, alive..."

Thinking this in his heart, Guan Lin bowed respectfully and said, "I didn't expect that Mr. Shi would actually come to Jiaozhou in person. The younger generation Guan Lin has admired Mr. Shi's name for a long time. Today I saw Mr. Such an immortal demeanor. I couldn't help but sigh. Is there really a living god in this world?" !”

No wonder Guan Lin paid such a heavy courtesy.

This Shixie is at least three generations older than Guanlin...

When later generations see him, they are always in the temple. Worshiping him... can bless him with a long life.

It was Guan Lin's courtesy that surprised Shi Xie.

——"Isn't this Fourth Young Master always at odds with his father, Guan Gong?" How come... you are so polite? 』

With such a free heart, Shi Xie returned the gift with his hand, without losing etiquette: "I don't dare to be so generous as the Fourth Young Master Guan..."

"Guan Lin is a junior, so this courtesy is due." Guan Lin responded with a smile... Needless to say, after going back and forth, the relationship between the two became a lot closer.

At first, Han Xuan was worried that the incident at Guanshan Cave in Changsha would not cause tension between the two of them when they met.

it's good now…

"Hahaha..." Han Xuan immediately laughed and said: "There are two people, one old and one young. Although they are very different in age, they are both the best among men!"

After some pleasantries, Han Xuan sat in the main seat, while Guan Lin and Shi Xie knelt and sat on the bamboo mats on both sides.

Gong Zhi got up wisely, poured tea for the three of them himself, and then asked his servants to leave together, leaving the room to the three of them.

Guan Lin did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "I heard from Han Gong that Soochow did not respect martial ethics and Jiaozhou was already a vassal state, but they sent their own troops to fight in an attempt to take over Jiaozhou under the rule of Mr. Seventh Generation. In the pocket, I, Guan Lin, can't stand this kind of bullying behavior the most.

Guan Lin's words blurted out, and Shi Xie also replied: "The world is hustle and bustle, and it is difficult to find a place to escape from chaos. In troubled times, the best strategy is to avoid taking control... I have never argued with others in my life. Ever since Soochow became big, what does he want? I Jiaozhou will give you whatever you want. I only hope that I can exchange it for the peace and contentment of the people of Jiaozhou, and the peace and security of my family. Unfortunately... the current situation has forced me and Jiaozhou to be involved in this war. …To be honest, Fourth Young Master, the Lu family’s army went on an expedition, and our Nanhai and Cangwu counties… have been devastated, and many people have died!”

Guan Lin can hear it.

Shi Xie said this, not just pretending...

It's really out of emotion.

He is a person who "avoids temporary chaos and seeks long-term stability."

Tracing back to its origin, the war between Soochow and Jiaozhou was caused by Guan Lin's batch of ordnance.

There is also the demarcation of the Xiangshui River...

If it weren't for the agreement on the demarcation of the Xiangshui River, it would have been an empty talk, if it hadn't been for the dispute between Jiaozhou and the Lu family over arms.

Jiaozhou will definitely continue to be a vassal state of Soochow, and it will not be bloody suppressed and massacred by Sun Quan until Shi Xie dies.

but…

From Guan Lin's point of view, he doesn't need to feel guilty.

For the scholar family, they will be slaughtered by Sun Quan sooner or later. The sooner they can wake up and resist... fight back, this is the right way.

In this sense, Guan Lin is a good person and good deed!

"Ahem..."

After coughing slightly, Guan Lin asked solemnly: "I'm going back to Jiangling tomorrow. I'm going to meet with you today. To make a long story short... you want to buy ordnance, right?"

"Fourth Young Master is very happy. I have nothing to hide." Shi Xie nodded heavily. "Yes, now I, Jiaozhou, need a lot of ordnance to defend against enemies."

"For example, what about repeating crossbows, side carriages, wooden oxen and flowing horses?" Guan Lin asked next.

"Yes!" Shi Xie nodded.

Guan Lin shook his head, "These ordnance, manufactured by Huang Laoxie, are actually used to resist the northern cavalry. There are many infantry and navy troops in Eastern Wu, so sidecars are of no use at all. The range of a continuous crossbow is limited, and It is impossible to defend the enemy from outside the country. As for... wooden cows and flowing horses, with all due respect, the war is in Jiaozhou, and Soochow needs wooden cows and flowing horses more than you guys... to transport grain, grass and supplies!"

this…

Guan Lin's words seemed to pour cold water on Shi Xie.

Shi Xie's eyes narrowed deeply, "Then..."

"This..." Guan Lin took out something from the package, which was a simple model of a bed crossbow. "Does Mr. Shi recognize this?"

Before Shi Xie could say anything...

Han Xuandang said first: "Isn't this a bed crossbow?"

"Exactly." Guan Lin replied with a smile, "However, this model of mine is rather special. It's called Ba Niu bed crossbow!"

As Guan Lin said, his model is a bed crossbow, but it is not just a bed crossbow.

You must know that the crossbow first appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It was mounted by a winch and had a long range, but its accuracy was poor. It usually used large-scale salvo tactics.

In the Han Dynasty, the bed crossbow was improved to a certain extent.

For example, Taiwei Chen Qiu once said in a war, "The string of big wood is used as a bow, and the feathered spear is used as the arrow. I used the opportunity to fire it, and shot more than a thousand steps from a distance, killing many people!"

This type of crossbow, which is difficult to open with just the hand and the force of the foot, is the Han version of the bed crossbow.

And Guan Lin's one is a hundred times more powerful than the Han version of the bed crossbow.

Speaking of which, there are many categories of bed crossbows, ranging from two bows to four bows.

The number of people required to twist the shaft when stringing a multi-bow crossbow is 5 to 7 for a small one... Large ones, such as Guan Lin's "Eight Ox Crossbow", require a hundred people to work together to twist the shaft.

Aiming and launching are all operated by dedicated personnel.

In particular, the arrows used use wood as the shaft and iron pieces as feathers, which is known as "one gun, three swords and arrows".

This kind of arrow is actually a spear with feathers, which is extremely destructive. When attacking... it can be nailed to the rammed earth wall in rows, so that the attackers can use it to climb up the city.

When defending, the range of the bed crossbow can reach 300 strides, about 600 meters.

It is the farthest and most powerful of the Chinese crossbows.

If we follow the original trajectory of history, it was already in the Song Dynasty when it appeared, and it was magnificent in the Battle of Chanyuan.

Guan Lin talked about the power of the "Eight Ox Crossbow", its usage, and the strategic effects it could achieve, and told Shi Xie roughly.

certainly…

In line with the principle of honest management, Guan Lin did not forget to point out the shortcomings, "Although this eight-niu crossbow is powerful, it can only be used as a strategic defense. This is because the structure is too heavy and the maneuverability is extremely poor... If you want to It is extremely difficult to move, especially to attack! So..."

Before Guan Lin finishes speaking...

Shi Xie quickly waved his hand, "In troubled times, self-protection is enough. Don't attack Jiaozhou... Jiaozhou only needs weapons that can resist the invading enemy!"

His eyes were filled with light, the kind of light that he desperately longed for.

He quickly asked Guan Lin. "Is what the Fourth Young Master said true? Is this eight-oxen crossbow really capable of shooting three hundred strides, and is it powerful enough to penetrate the rammed earth city wall?"

"Why are you lying to me?" Guan Lin smiled, "After all, it takes more than a hundred people to twist the shaft, and its power can be imagined... However, this Eight Ox Crossbow is good, but it is not easy to make... Huang Laoxie also specifically told me not to sell it cheaply!"

When Shi Xie looked at Guan Lin again, his eyes became lustful.

"Fourth Young Master might as well negotiate a price. The Jiaozhou Shi family will not let Fourth Young Master suffer, nor will Huang Laoxie suffer!"

Shi Xie once again showed his wealthy side.

Seven generations of people have been working on the same land, and there has been no major war for seven generations.

This kind of confidence may not even be available to Gongsun Zan, who "grew three million shi of grain" in Yijing back then.

"Actually, it's not that the Eight Oxen Crossbow is expensive, it's mainly that the thick 'spear arrows' made later are expensive..." Guan Lin tried to quote a price, "An Eight Oxen Crossbow with twenty spear arrows, What’s the matter...the price is this.”

Guan Lin showed two fingers...

It means two thousand gold.

Having said that, he has already quoted a very high price. After all, the materials are all wood, and there was no shortage of wood in ancient times. The difficulty is the drawings and workmanship... The drawings are just at Guan Lin's place. As for the workmanship, there is nothing that can't be done with Old Huang here... .

Considering that once Shi Xie bought it, it would cost hundreds of beds if he couldn't keep it all.

Two thousand gold, Guan Lin had to cry to earn one thousand gold... He was a bit of a profiteer... and had no conscience.

Of course, Guan Lin is not the kind of person who cares about everything.

This two thousand gold still leaves some room for counter-offering. His bottom line is fifteen hundred gold.

really…

When Shi Xie saw these two fingers, he looked troubled and squeaked: "If it is true as what the Fourth Young Master Guan said, although the price is high, this Eight Ox Crossbow is indeed a good thing and it can also help Jiaozhou! Let's do this, I want a hundred beds of these 'Eight Ox Crossbows' in Jiaozhou, how about a discount from the Fourth Young Master Guan, from twenty thousand gold per bed to ten thousand gold per bed?"

As soon as this statement came out...

"ah--"

Guan Lin exclaimed subconsciously, his eyes widened suddenly, looking incredible.

——"Bitch...ah no, Comrade Shixie, have you misunderstood?" I pointed out two fingers, which meant two thousand gold! Dare you take it as twenty thousand gold? You can pay back ten thousand gold even if you pay back the price? You make me... so embarrassed! 』

Han Xuan didn't know why, and thought Guan Lin's surprised expression was because the price was not profitable.

He quickly said: "Although Mr. Shi ordered a lot, but... we can't let Fourth Young Master and Huang Laoxie do a loss-making business, right? Let's see if... we can add some more."

Han Xuan wanted to promote this business.

Of course, according to Guan Lin's wishes, the Fourth Young Master Guan left a share for Han Xuan in this business...

Considering that it costs tens of thousands of dollars, this portion is not a small sum!

"this…"

Shi Xie hesitated for a moment, then stroked his long beard and said, "Then add a little more. How about twelve thousand gold and eight oxen crossbows for a bed? However, before I speak, I need to send someone to Jiangling with the Fourth Young Master. Let’s see the power and range of this Eight Ox Crossbow first!”

Guan Lin opened his mouth. He wanted to speak and said, "That's enough..."

When we catch a "fat sheep" and pull out its wool... we can't do it like this!

Almost done!

Han Xuan, however, shook his head and said first, "How about Mr. Shi adding a thousand more... this way..."

Don't wait for Han Xuan to finish.

Shi Xie once again showed his "country bumpkin", ah no... "local tycoon" side, "Actually, I can add another two thousand, but I need a promise from Guan Si Gongzi. If these eight oxen crossbows are broken, I need to You have to ask Fourth Young Master to send someone to repair it... You have to fix it as well as sell it!"

"Then..." Han Xuan didn't dare to answer the question.

He felt that it was almost done. Since Guan Lin quoted two fingers, according to the principle of 'bargaining', there should always be some leeway. Considering this amount, giving up six thousand gold should be within a reasonable range.

Immediately, Han Xuan looked at Guan Lin.

"Fourth Young Master...this price..."

Uh... Guan Lin was finally able to speak. He didn't express his position directly, but asked.

"Mr. Han, is there any wine here?"

"Yes...there is..."

Han Xuan quickly sent someone to bring wine and poured it for all three of them.

When the wine bottle was full, Guan Lin couldn't wait to raise the wine bottle, "People say that suffering is a blessing. This price is a bit low, but I, Guan Lin, am not a mercenary person... I, Mr. Bangshi, do not do anything for anyone else." It’s for justice!”

"In order to allow this paradise in Jiaozhou to continue, in order to make the evil invader receive the punishment and price he deserves, fourteen thousand gold, one bed and eight oxen and crossbows, how can that be done? According to me, just pay according to Mr. Shi Xie The price is ten thousand gold..."

"How precious is justice? Is it not worth these four thousand gold? I, Guan Lin, represent Huang Laoxie today. We are doing business at a loss, and we will support justice this time. That's it! Ten thousand gold , Long live justice...I, Guan Lin, respect justice, respect fairness, respect heaven, and respect Mr. Scholar who is not afraid of power. I will do it, you two can do whatever you want!"

While talking, Guan Lin drank all the wine in the wine bottle with rare boldness.

he realized.

This is no longer a question of fourteen thousand gold and ten thousand gold.

This is when Guan Lin found a cornucopia;

A cornucopia from which wealth can be drawn continuously.

You can't be greedy!

We have to take our time...

We thieves also have...ah no, for the sake of justice and the fight against evil, we must support Jiaozhou as always! Support Shijia! To resist the evil Soochow.

No wonder in later generations, some people always like to do the arms business. This is really profitable, and it is earned with blood!

It was a very refreshing journey.

In fact, Guan Lin still has one question left.

——'Shi Xie, Shi Xie, your scholar family has been sitting in Jiaozhou for seven generations? How much surplus food do you have? How many years can I build it? 』

——『I really have to thank you! 』

…

…
