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

"You are not alone in assassinating Cao Cao. I... no, not just me, everyone in this parrot, who doesn't have a deep hatred for Cao Cao?"

Lingju's voice chanted out.

When it reached the young man's ears, the young man felt as if he had seen hope and found an organization.

However, he witnessed too many surprises today. The sudden secret passages, dead soldiers, mechanisms... and future assassinations... these all overwhelmed him.

"What? Are you scared?"

Seeing the young man in a daze, Lingju asked proactively.

The young man shook his head quickly and stuttered: "Wen...Miss Wen..."

"You don't need to call me like that." Lingju smiled softly and said, "You are Mr. Yunqi's second brother. Just call me Lingju like him!"

"Miss Ling...Lingju." This young man is Guan Xing.

He stumbled and chanted the name "Lingju".

He only found out more than ten days ago, what does this name mean to his fourth brother?

This is a "base area" behind enemy lines!

Just because he thought of this, Guan Xing's thoughts seemed to be pulled back to the moment in Xiangyang City more than ten days ago, when his father Guan Yu ordered to interrogate and kill Guan Xing in front of the camp gate.

At that time, when he heard that his father had returned in a hot air balloon, he subconsciously wanted to apologize and die, but was persuaded by Sun Ru, who had taught him the secret weapon "Shadow Arrow".

Sun Ru said calmly: "Have you forgotten what Mr. Yun Qi told you? Have all these days of practicing shadow arrows been in vain? It's better to die than to live alive!"

This sentence made Guan Xing, who was so upset at the time, suddenly calm down.

Under Sun Runa's eager gaze, Guan Xing repeated the plan arranged by his fourth brother Guan Lin: "The fourth brother asked me to cooperate with him in a play. First, I took the blame...and then took all the blame. , when he was beheaded at the camp gate, he would switch over a condemned prisoner who looked like me, and all I had to do was scream horribly... In the end, I deceived my father, and it was the condemned prisoner who died, and I, Guan Xing, who lived, and the real one. This is the military discipline of the Guan Family Army."

Having said this, Guan Xing paused for a moment, "As long as I 'die', everything will be over and everything will be liberated... And I will be sent to Luoyang to cooperate with Miss Lingju's 'behind enemy lines' operation. One day, I will kill Cao Cao and redeem my merits! This is my only hope of returning to my father and my fourth brother!"

When he said this last sentence, Guan Xing seemed to be relieved.

But his eyes became more resolute and sharp, and even the shadow arrow he held made a soft 'cluck' sound due to the sudden force of his wrist.

Even if Sun Ru knew this plan in advance, she couldn't help but marvel when she heard it from Guan Xing again. Guan Lin's plan was always like this: "put yourself to death and then survive"...

It seems that this is the case for her husband Lu Xun and the Lu family, right?

Is this Mr. Yunqi the most thoughtful person?

Or is he just good at setting up situations like this?

With this thought in mind, Sun Ru reminded Guan Xing at that time: "In the military camp in Xiangyang City, the number of the Guan family's army is less than 20%, and most of them are the subordinates of Master Yunqi. Li Daitao's plan is not difficult...it is just to invigorate the Guan family's army. Military discipline, you need to act more realistically, and express your desire for death in your words, and your determination to regard death as home, can you do it?"

At this moment, Guan Xing's mood had completely calmed down, and he replied softly: "I know what to do!"

Therefore, during the entire process of bearing the burden of sin,

Guan Xing's eyes were always looking at his father Guan Yu and his fourth brother Guan Lin, because he knew that after this glance, he didn't know when he would see each other again.

Or maybe, it’s goodbye forever.

So, in the Chinese army's tent that day, Guan Lin and Guan Xing performed a show of "singing and harmonizing" for Guan Yu to see, and also for everyone to see. Guan Lin ordered the soldiers and axemen to approach the executioner. Those around him are all trusted confidants.

Then before the execution, in order to prevent blood from splattering everywhere, a circle of black cloth will be placed around the execution stake. It is at this time that Guan Xing and the condemned prisoner are exchanged.

Because of the human skin mask, the executioner's cheeks are exactly the same as Guan Xing's.

Of course, even if the "corpse" is finally contained, the one who proves his true identity is someone Guan Lin can trust.

That is to say, that night, Zhuge Ke sent Guan Xing to the north of Wancheng through a hot air balloon, where there were already people from the "parrot" sent by Lingju to pick him up. Three days later, Guan Xing appeared in Luoyang City.

His new journey has begun.

finally…

Guan Xing pulled his thoughts back from the distance. He was a little excited because of the change of "identity", "Miss Lingju, when do we take action?"

"Cao Cao is not that easy to assassinate. He has Xu Chu and Sergeant Huben by his side. We must wait for him to arrive in Luoyang and wait for a perfect opportunity, otherwise we will definitely alert the snake, but..."

Lingju looked at Guan Xing's cheek and couldn't help but shook his head, hesitatingly opening his mouth: "You look like this?"

"I have this..." Guan Xing took out a human skin mask from the package and put it on in front of Lingju.

This time... Guan Xing's whole person took on a new look.

From the image of a warrior, he suddenly transformed into an elegant and easy-going young man.

Because of the change in appearance, no one would associate him with Guan Yu's son.

Lingju was shocked by the sudden change in his cheek.

Guan Xing showed the package, "Fourth brother asked me to bring more than thirty human skin masks... so that Miss Lingju and the parrot can carry out some secret operations."

call…

Lingju took a deep breath, took one, and made a sign on her cheek.

I can't help but sigh.

——"This is... a terrible disguise. It's just... like a different person." 』

"This is the best." After Lingju sighed, he looked at Guan Xing again, his tone suddenly became meticulous, "If you want to assassinate Cao Cao, you must let Cao Cao arrive in Luoyang City. The first priority is to wait for him to move the capital to Luoyang. …Of course, at the same time…there is one more important thing to do?”

"What?" Guan Xing couldn't wait.

Lingju lowered his voice, but emphasized his tone: "The emperor must leave Cao Wei——"

"What does leaving mean?"

"As long as Cao Cao can no longer control the emperor, the rest will be life or death!"

Following Lingju's last words, her eyes became sharp, and she was thinking not only of the great achievements that Cao Cao had made over the years by "holding the emperor to order the princes".

What she thought of more was...Nanyang.

There, she also had an uncle who made a bet with her.

Betting on the ownership of the Taishan Army, betting that the Emperor will leave Cao Cao, betting that Cao Cao can no longer hold the Emperor hostage to order the princes——

…

…

When talking about uprising against Bo Yuntian, people often mention Guan Yu.

So...the second person with righteousness and righteousness during the Three Kingdoms era? Who could it be?

The answer is - Zang Ba!

This former general of Lu Bu and the lord of Langya Kingdom of Cao Wei is now the general responsible for guarding Nanyang for Cao Cao.

He is fifty-one years old this year.

He was never stationed in Wan County, the seat of Nanyang. His task was to guard the gate from Jiangxia to Nanyang.

Therefore...he and his Taishan Army were stationed in the Zhongshan area of ​​Suixian County.

Here, you can guard against Jiangxia's northward movement to the south, and you can observe the situation of the Xiangfan battlefield and Huainan battlefield to the west and east at any time. It can be said that it is the central axis of the three battlefields.

In Nanyang, Zang Ba showed his frugal side as always. His mansion was not so conspicuous, and the door, which was only six feet wide, was always missed by passers-by.

The yard is not big either, with two rows on the east and west sides, and a total of ten rooms.

Who would have thought that such a mansion was the place where Zang Ba, the leading fiefdom of Cao Wei Zhong... a warrior with a foreign surname, lived among 3,500 households in the fiefdom.

Simple and simple——

At this moment, in a wing room to the west, Zang Ba was reading a newspaper spread out on a long desk, his brows furrowed.

It was early spring, and there was still a chill to the bone in the middle of the night, but Zang Ba seemed to be completely unaware. Under the dim oil lamp, his expression was actually changing along with the writing on the newspaper.

After struggling to read the last word, I realized that the oil lamp was almost extinguished.

Stand up, replace the wick that is about to burn out, sit down... and reread.

The first one is that Sun Quan asked Cao Cao to cede the cities and counties south of Huainan in exchange for "Sun Cao truce". Cao Cao was furious as expected.

This is perfectly normal, and no monarch would be able to accept the condition of "ceding territory."

But secondly, Cao Cao actually led his troops back to Xudu. He did not even mobilize Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, the nemesis of "Soochow", to garrison Shouchun. Instead, he delegated all the military power in Shouchun to his clan son, Cao Zhen.

This behavior seems very meaningful!

call…

As Zang Ba let out a long cry, he couldn't help but open his mouth and said: "Cao Cao is still as good at acting as ever. If he returns to Xudu, isn't this equivalent to accepting Sun Quan's 'truce conditions' and giving up the land of Huainan to Sun Quan?" Huh? Haha, he didn’t admit defeat in words, but in his heart...Cao Cao still admitted defeat to the Guan family father and son."

A simple newspaper, two pieces of information, but as heavy as a thousand pieces of information.

Zang Ba couldn't help but stand up slowly.

He walked to the window with his hands behind his back. Looking at the rocky night, he thought of two things. One... was Cao Cao.

Although it is unbelievable, although it is unbelievable, but...it is the lesser of two evils, Cao Cao decided to focus on dealing with the Guan family father and son.

He even made huge concessions to his "mortal enemy" Sun Quan.

Thinking of this, Zang Ba sighed, "Cao Cao, the leader of the Wei Dynasty, is not having a good life now..."

Just as he said with emotion, for a moment, Zang Ba had a feeling that this great Wei Dynasty was suddenly in danger.

The second thing was his bet with Lingju.

Zang Ba promised his sworn brother Lu Bu to help him take care of Diao Chan and his daughter.

He could also feel Ling Ju's affection for Guan Jia Shilang, but his position and position... couldn't be used because of her feelings. Zang Ba's men were all Lu Bu's soldiers in the past, and they were all old brothers.

If you make one wrong move... it's very likely that the entire Taishan Army will fall into a situation that is beyond redemption.

Therefore, Zang Ba gave Lingju's favorite man a test, and it was not an easy test.

If Guan Lin can take the Emperor away from Cao Cao, then neither Zang Ba nor the Taishan Army may be able to change their stance.

It doesn't matter whether you abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side, or whether you switch sides in the face of battle.

At least...Cao Cao can't continue to hold the emperor hostage, then Liu Bei's camp will have hope.

But now, the changes in the current situation and the development of the situation have made Zang Ba feel overwhelmed.

In fact, according to the information obtained in the past few days, Cao Wei even lost Wancheng, which was only a day away from Xudu and the emperor.

Thinking of this, Zang Ba narrowed his eyes.

He murmured: "Then Guan Lin can't really get the emperor out of Xudu, can he?"

Having said this, Zang Ba closed his mouth and eyes, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

——"If you want to seize the throne, you must first force Cao Cao to move the capital!" 』

——"Haha, I have to praise this kid. This kid does this step by step...step by step..."

Don't say...

The more he thought about it, the more Zang Ba felt that because of Guan Lin's soaring into the sky, the situation suddenly became turbulent, and the general trend of the world suddenly changed!

Nothing is set in stone yet;

Everything is still changing.

This also made Zang Ba hesitate.

Where should the Taishan Army in his hands go?

"Report..."

At this moment, a messenger came to the door of Zang Ba's wing. He did not enter the room, but reported through the door.

"Guan Yu killed his second son, Guan Xing, and showed it to the public. Guan Lin, the fourth son of the Guan family, left Xiangyang in anger and rushed to Jiangxia... where he sang and danced and lived in peace and sleep."

Well…

This piece of information made Zang Ba suddenly raise his eyes, and he repeatedly chanted "Singing and dancing, living in a state of drunkenness and dreaming of death"...

As he finished speaking, Zang Ba was subconsciously thinking about what show Guan Lin was acting in?

Is this guy trying to show off his enemies again?

So…

Who is his target this time?

Zhuyu was in front of him, and Guan Linyin had been exposed too many times, so much so that even Zang Ba, an outsider, felt that he was carrying out a conspiracy.

"Where is Cao Cao?"

Suddenly, Zang Ba asked again.

The messenger quickly replied without thinking: "According to the latest information, Cao Cao will arrive at Qiao Pei early tomorrow morning...and stay there for half a day before returning to Xudu!"

——'Qiao Pei? 』

Zang Ba groaned softly in his heart, and then he couldn't help but ponder: "This is Cao Cao's hometown, the ancestral place of Qiao Pei Wu! It's just..."

Zang Ba once served as the leader of the Langya Kingdom. Because he was close to them, he knew everything about many things in Yanzhou and Yuzhou.

Hearing that Cao Cao returned to his hometown, Zang Ba couldn't help but shake his head.

"If you really go back, that will be a huge surprise given to Cao Cao by Shiro Guan. Ha... It can also be said to be a huge shock!"

…

…

Peiguo, Qiao County.

Because of Cao Cao's return, a banquet was placed in the square in front of the palace. Cao Cao sat in the middle, and all the folks in Qiao County were present, enjoying themselves happily.

Cao Cao held the wine glass and smiled: "The last time I came here was on the way to the Southern Expedition. I stayed in the old residence for a few days. The second son of Gu and Gu, Pi, also planted a few sugar cane trees in the yard. It has been five or six years ago. ? Those sugar canes now? I’m afraid they’ve long since disappeared, right?”

The elder Li Zheng smiled and said: "The sugar cane planted by the Prime Minister and Young Master is growing very well. I still remember that when it was ripe last year, the county magistrate said that he would distribute it to the villagers under the order of the Prime Minister? I was also lucky enough to get two bites of it. It's sweet...sweet. It’s so tight! The people also said that they have never tasted such sweet sugar cane, and only the king and the young master can grow such sweet sugar cane.”

He was flattering yet dignified, making Cao Cao laugh out loud.

At this time, the county magistrate of Qiao County opened his mouth and said: "In the fifth year of Xiping, the upright prime minister was weak. In that year...an old man discovered a yellow dragon floating in the sky over Qiao County. Many people saw it and speculated...in the future we An emperor will be born here. Even if he is not an emperor, he must be a general... Now it seems that this yellow dragon indicates that he is the prime minister."

"Hahaha..." The villagers' words made Cao Cao laugh heartily.

This is the magic of Xiangyin, which can allow Cao Cao to temporarily escape from the rudeness and forced compromise on the battlefield, and enjoy a different kind of warmth.

If wealth does not return to its hometown, it is like walking in brocade at night. This is not just talk.

"There is no sugar cane this season..." Cao Cao said with a smile: "However, I brought some fruits from other places to my fellow villagers, let them all try..."

While they were talking, guards served grapes, plums, and green plum wine to these villagers and elders one by one.

An old man saw the wine and wanted to drink it, but he glanced at Cao Cao and did not dare to drink...

Cao Cao personally poured a bottle of green plum wine and handed it to the old man, "Drink, everyone who has drank this green plum wine is a hero, ah...hahahaha..."

Cao Cao seemed to be in a good mood.

The old people drank green plum wine cautiously and ate the fruits in front of them.

Cao Cao smiled and asked the elder Li Zheng beside him: "I remember the last time I came here, we Qiao Pei were still prosperous, and many villagers brought babies. How come this time, you are the only one? Let those babies come to eat together?" I remember the last time I came here, there were hundreds of children under the age of ten? Haha, I brought a lot of these fruits, hurry up, call them over!"

this…

As soon as these words came out, all the villagers who could be seen with the naked eye looked gloomy.

Cao Cao noticed something strange and quickly asked: "What's wrong? Where are these dolls? Now, shouldn't these dolls be sixteen or seventeen years old? Gu originally said that he would personally perform the crowning ceremony for them? Where are the people? ?Where are they?"

At this time, the expressions of the elders became even more gloomy, one of their faces darkened, and they glanced timidly at the local magistrate.

The county magistrate also seemed quite embarrassed.

Cao Cao noticed something strange and quickly asked: "What?"

Li Zheng said reluctantly: "Thanks to Wei Gong's kindness, all those dolls have gone out...all...are no longer with our Qiao Pei?"

Cao Cao's face turned slightly cold, and he turned to Xu Chu and whispered, "Huhou is also from Qiao Pei. Go to the county office and show all the household registration here to Gu!"

"Here..."

Xu Chu quickly went to the county government office with a few Huben soldiers. Not long after, Hu Bo brought him along with... a booklet.

The booklet is extremely long, almost as long as the booklet.

Cao Cao asked: "What is this?"

Xu Chu's words also became deeper, "This is the list of canceled accounts. There were originally 30,000 Qiao Pei who were over ten years old and under forty-five years old. Now..."

At the end of the sentence, Xu Chu's voice suddenly stopped, which made Cao Cao feel heavy.

He raised his voice and asked, "What now?"

Xu Chu said tremblingly: "There are... thirty thousand people gone, and the ones who survived... are less than one in a hundred! They all... died on the Xiangfan battlefield!"

As soon as this statement came out...

Cao Cao's eyes became horrified.

Elder Li Zheng, the county magistrate, and county magistrate all knelt on the ground, lowering their heads in fear...

Cao Cao's voice came out one after another, "That is to say, even I, Qiao Pei... I, Qiao Pei, don't have any strong men anymore? They all... all died in the battle?"

…
