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

——"I am Zhang Wenyuan of Yanmen!" 』

——"Do you still remember that Xiaoyaojin?" 』

Since these words were resounded on the official road from Huainan to Xuzhou, everything has settled and everything has quickly returned to nothingness.

Speaking of which, this was originally an official road, but the current situation would give anyone a creepy feeling when they see it.

Under the massacre by the Wei army, the Zhu family's tribes fell one by one.

The soil has long been dyed reddish brown, the blood cannot solidify, and the haze above cannot be dispersed.

Occasionally, there are body parts hanging on the broken branches that have long been unrecognizable. What is especially clear is that these dead people are wearing red and green clothes respectively.

Not long ago, this place was filled with sounds of fighting and shouting.

But now... everything is silent, except for some soldiers who are cleaning up the battlefield. From time to time, they take out some valuable items from the bodies of the dead and keep them for themselves.

And all of this makes the silence at this time even more ferocious and terrifying.

After only half a stick of incense, Zhang Liao arrived at the foot of a mountain, covered in blood, taking heavy steps.

Here, the Zhuge clan members huddled up one by one, looking tremblingly at the "soldiers" wearing red Han army uniforms who surrounded them.

Zhang Liao stood still, took a deep breath, and stared at these people.

One of the lieutenants said, "General, they are Zhuge Jin's tribe, seventy-three in total..."

Zhang Liao did not speak, but nodded to express "he understands."

But how could these Zhuge clan members know the purpose of the coming people?

Looking at their clothes and the way they were killing prisoners just now, I thought it was Jingzhou soldiers who were here to kill and silence...

"General...general..."

At this time, an old man from the Zhuge family hurriedly said: "General, please don't kill us...I...Zhuge Kongming of our clan is still...shang is an official in Shu, serving Uncle Liu Huang. He is the most respected person by Uncle Liu. I hope... I hope the general, for his own sake, will open up the net and spare us... spare us!"

Thinking they were Jingzhou soldiers, the Zhuge family had no choice but to move out "Zhuge Liang" to save them.

Of course, if this were said normally, it would not be safe... Zhang Liao would wave his crescent halberd, and then a human head would fall to the ground.

Zhang Liao also realized that they had misunderstood, but...he would not point it out.

The Wei army specially pretended to be Jingzhou soldiers and came to escort these Zhuge clan members to Jingzhou. Haha... This matter seemed to Zhang Liao to be the most ridiculous thing in the world!

How come it sounds so awkward!

Immediately, Zhang Liao's body trembled and he responded to the Zhuge clan members: "The one you should be grateful for is not Zhuge Kongming, but Zhuge Ke, the junior in your family!"

Having said this, Zhang Liao turned to the soldiers beside him and ordered, "This is close to Jiangxia. Send someone to escort them to Jiangxia. After arriving in Jiangxia, there is no need to go deep, just leave them and come back."

Zhang Liao was expressionless and replied like a routine...

"Here--" The first lieutenant general quickly handed over his hand.

At this moment, another deputy general reported quickly: "General, the soldiers have all rested. We can't wait to attack Huainan and Feicheng!"

Zhang Liao could feel the deputy general's eagerness to try.

Yes, what is lost from their hands should be regained from their hands.

At this time, Zhang Liao had already mounted his horse and said, "Give me the military order to march quickly, cross the Feishui River, and march straight to Hefei——"

Hefei Ruoding...Huainan is conquered. Zhang Liao is going to do it all at once.

As soon as he finished speaking, "Dedede", a loud sound of horse hoofbeats resounded, accompanied by the neighing of Zhang Liao's dismounted horse.

He took the lead and roared away, followed closely by the remaining five hundred Shanxi men, and behind him was the cavalry team that was already less than a thousand people.

Even though this battle was a great victory over the enemy, Zhang Liao's army also paid a heavy price!

——It’s a miserable victory!

…

…

Ye City was built in the medical office.

To Sun Quan's surprise, Lu Meng showed signs of improvement, and his fingers began to tremble slightly.

But what disappoints Sun Quan is that according to the medical officer, the shaking of fingers and the awakening of consciousness are two completely different things. In other words, Lu Meng's awakening is still far away.

This... was tantamount to a heavy hammer for Sun Quan.

In today's situation, he really needs someone... to turn the tide and restore all this decline, and... Lu Meng... even though he is not as good as Zhou Gongjin and Taishi Zhengyi in the past, but... he is the current Sun Quan, the only one he can rely on of people.

On the other hand, Lu Meng, in the dark chaos, pictures were flickering like a revolving lantern.

The scenes in his memories seemed to have just begun.

Now, what flashed in his mind was the 14th year of Jian'an;

It was the year after the Battle of Chibi, and before the Battle of Nanjun where Zhou Yu and Cao Ren faced off. It was also the eighth year after Zhou Yu instilled "scheming" into Lu Meng, allowing Lu Meng to open a door to a whole new world.

This time, Gan Ning was surrounded, his life was at stake, and the military situation was urgent. Lu Meng rushed into Zhou Yu's military tent:

——"Captain Zhou, I have heard what the generals said. The generals did not let the governor rescue Gan Ning. They said it was because we did not have enough troops. In fact, the reason why we did not have enough troops was just because of Gan Ning's background. He was a The thieves who plundered the Yangtze River were looked down upon by all the soldiers..."

——"But, Governor Zhou, have you ever thought about it. It was you who told me about the human heart before. If our army is surrounded and we don't save it, what will happen to the morale of the three armies?" Cao Ren just wants to use this small battle to suppress our morale, so he wants to 'relieve the siege and relieve the emergency'. Besides... Governor Zhou, if you go there in person, how angry will the soldiers on the front line be? Less than ten days were enough to save Gan Ning! As for the main camp...Ling Tong can hold it! The husband is victorious, and so is the human heart. This is what you taught us! If you have the heart, Nanjun and Jiangling are ours! 』

In the scene, Lu Meng said a lot to Zhou Yu, and these words directly surprised Zhou Yu.

He laughed and said, "Ziming, you are right about one thing. If there is a heart in Nanjun and Jiangling, they belong to us!" With you here in Koto, I can rest assured——』

This is the first time in eight years that Zhou Yu has boasted about Lu Meng.

It was these words that made Zhou Yu decide to lead his army to rescue Gan Ning.

Speaking of which, the background of this battle was that Gan Ning led hundreds of people to sneak attack and occupy Yiling, but was surrounded by Cao Ren.

Gan Ning was trapped, and most of Zhou Yu's subordinates thought that their troops were too few to divide their forces for rescue...

Only Lü Meng suggested leaving Ling Tong to guard the camp and rescue Gan Ning. Cao Ren was severely wounded in one fell swoop, causing the loss of more than half of his troops. This... was also the beginning of the Battle of Nanjun.

This is the reason why Cao Ren, faced with the low morale of the soldiers of the three armies, could not turn the tide and boost the morale of the army with his "natural appearance"!

This was also when Lu Meng began to rise to prominence in Jiangdong and was noticed by Sun Quan.

(Ps: "Three Kingdoms": The generals have too few soldiers to make a difference. Meng said to Yu and Pu: "Leave Ling Gongzhi, Meng will go with you to relieve the siege and relieve the emergency. The situation will not be long. Meng Bao Gongzhi can defend it for ten days."... …So the situation of the soldiers doubled, so they crossed the river and established a garrison. Cao Ren retreated and took over Nanjun!)

The screen is still flashing...

Another year has passed.

Because of the brilliance of the Battle of Nanjun, Lu Meng became Sun Quan's most important general.

The two chatted frequently, but Lu Meng... always looked embarrassed when talking to Sun Quan, "My lord always advises me to study, but there are too many affairs in the army, and studying... I'm afraid I won't be able to do it!" 』

When faced with the topic of reading, Sun Quan's expression changed and his conversation went cold.

『——Aren’t you prevaricating me? I want you to be a doctor of Taixue? Or did they let you enter the seminary? I just want you to use the past as a mirror. People want to make progress? How can you do it without studying? You said you are busy with military affairs? How can I be alone? Even if you use the past as a mirror, you will gain a lot, let alone you? 』

『——You have to learn to read alone, just look at the outline and understand the meaning, don’t be a wordsmith! You should read more military books and history. Look at how old Cao Cao is, but he is still studying! Ziming, I have high hopes for you. As long as you keep reading and read to the best of your ability, ordinary Confucian scholars will not be able to compare with you! 』

Is this... reading?

Lu Meng secretly made up his mind to study hard and read every book as instructed by his lord Sun Quan.

Another year passed, when Zhou Yu was preparing to conquer Yizhou in the west, he died inexplicably, and Lu Su became the governor.

Lu Meng was congratulating him.

"——Congratulations, Zijing, for becoming the Left Governor. Why...you were so surprised when you saw it, is it...Zijing recently discovered that when discussing real-time strategies, he couldn't speak to me, a warrior, right? Hahaha, after Gongjin’s preaching, my lord’s advice, and my hard study day and night, I am no longer the same Wu Xia Amen I used to be. This is called a three-day separation, so let’s look at each other with admiration! 』

Facing Lu Meng's words, Lu Su paused for a moment, then replied with a smile.

"——Haha, Zi Ming, Zi Ming, I have a feeling that you may become a model of hard work that can make up for one's weaknesses, and you will be passed down for thousands of years!" 』

Lu Su was just boasting, but he never thought that Lu Meng would directly introduce the topic into the current situation.

"——Whether it has been passed down for thousands of years is not important. What is important is that the current Grand Governor of Jiangdong is Zijing. With all due respect, as Grand Governor... no one in this world can compare with Master Gongjin. ! Zijing... If you take his place, I don’t think you can do it well. Your structure is too big. Your target has always been Cao Cao, but Gong Jin and I have always felt that our target should be Guan Yu. This man is unparalleled in martial arts and loves his soldiers as much as his son. Forget it, at such a young age, he still loves to read, reading "Spring and Autumn" every moonlight. This kind of person happens to be next to Soochow's bed. It's terrible! If you want to confront Cao Cao, you must first defeat Guan Yu! 』

When Lu Meng said this, he paused, and then his tone became meticulous, "Grand Governor, if you can't even see clearly who the enemy is, then Soochow is doomed... Come on, I thought of three more ideas, which may be able to help Soochow recaptures Jingzhou! 』

"It must be..."

Facing Lu Meng's proposal, Lu Su waved his hands repeatedly, "Now we are the Sun-Liu Alliance. We are working together to defeat the Cao thief... Zi Ming, you are knowledgeable... I can see all this when you quote scriptures. But...this world is destined to have a three-legged tripod, and a two-legged tripod...can't stand for long! 』

——"Then you can't give Nanjun to Liu Bei in vain. It was captured by me and Governor Gongjin without any hardships and overcoming obstacles!" Zijing, please listen to my three plans first! 』

(Ps: "Three Kingdoms": Zhou Yu, the predecessor of Lu, often wanted Lu to be humiliated because of his excessive opinions. Su Kao Mengbei said: "I call you the eldest brother, but he has an ear for martial arts. As for the current man, he is learned and wise, and he is not the emperor of Wu." Meng.' Meng said: 'We have been separated for three days, and we treat each other with admiration. Brother, it is difficult to succeed Gong Jin in this generation, and he is a neighbor of Guan Yu. Yes, Shanfu should treat him as a native. The secret is the three policies of Su Chen, accept it with respect and keep it secret!)

Especially...the last sentence, "You can't give Nanjun to Liu Bei in vain"!

Lu Meng's tone was extremely firm.

at the same time…

I don’t know whether this sentence from six years ago was caused by emotion, or whether Lu Meng always carried this obsession in his heart.

Suddenly, this sentence... actually came out of the fainting Lu Meng's mouth...

——"Nanjun...it was captured by Governor Gongjin and I. We can't give it away in vain!"

this…

Following Lu Meng's words, Sun Quan's eyes were a little dazed. He was surprised at first, and then... "Alas", he sighed heavily.

Then he turned around...he became even more lonely.

It's no wonder that in the past... Soochow's goal was to regain Jingzhou, but now its goal has been reduced to protecting Soochow and preserving this corner of Jiangdong.

The current situation is developing too fast and violently, so that the leader of Soochow...

I have already felt the backlash caused by his series of decisions over the years to win over the powerful clans, check and balance all parties, suppress military generals, and kill 'virtuous people'... this series of decisions!

The backlash is so intense!

"Ziming, please wake up quickly. You have seen your eldest brother's heroic spirit. You have learned scheming from Gong Jin, and because of Gu's words, you love reading. Without Zijing... you are the only one who can still be in military affairs and work with me. Let’s discuss one or two alone!”

yes…

Today, there are not many people in Soochow who can discuss military affairs with Sun Quan.

Pattering——

A heavy rain fell quite appropriately.

The rain kept falling and the wind kept blowing... Jianye City, which was already panic-stricken and frightened, was quickly shrouded in wind and rain, just like the saying - the rain is about to come and the wind fills the building!

…

…

It rained heavily in Jiangdong and also in Huainan.

In this kind of weather, let alone siege the city, even a rapid march is very difficult...

But for Zhang Liao, the Wu army had just been plundered, Zhu Zhi had just died in battle, and the entire Huainan... Soochow city had been peaceful for four months, and the peaceful atmosphere had left them without any warning or preparation.

This is a valuable fighter plane!

A fleeting fighter plane!

The soldiers are very fast, how could Zhang Liao... be stopped by wind and rain?

"Child Jiangdong, how dare you cry?"

Accompanied by Zhang Liao's voice...

In the stormy sky, the infantry took the lead. More than 20,000 Wei soldiers marched toward Hefei City in an east-west direction like a giant roc spreading its wings.

The remaining 500 Shanxi men under Zhang Liao were the vanguard. They were all armored horses, with strong bows on their backs, spears and halberds in their hands. Between the electric lights that were still hidden... there was a cold and dazzling cold light.

Then, hundreds of arrows... were shot towards the top of the city tower... This was the first round, suppressed by the arrows under the rainy sky -

"Enemy attack...enemy attack..."

The defenders of Hefei City had just shouted this sentence, and countless Wei soldiers carrying ladders had rushed to the foot of Hefei City. Amidst the "rumbling" rain, the sound of drums suddenly started, like rolling thunder, penetrating the heavy rain. , resounding throughout the world.

When the ladders were set up... countless Wei troops rushed towards Hefei City.

As Zhang Liao was the former commander here, he was very familiar with the areas in Hefei City that were easy to attack, which areas were difficult to defend, which areas were blind spots in the field of vision, and where it was easiest to conquer the city first...

He realized that he knew exactly where every brick and tile was placed.

The war horses neighed, the soldiers rushed into the formation, the soldiers stood in great numbers, and the heavy armor was dark.

The rain-wet flag clung to the flagpole and waved high, like an eagle with its wings trapped, tumbling over and over to the beat of a drum.

The ladder was very slippery, but it could not stop the determination and courage of this Wei army to regain the lost ground.

The horse's hooves are muddy, but they step on the rays of light, as if they are standing on the soaring clouds.

Zhang Liao's voice came up first: "I am Zhang Wenyuan of the Great Wei Dynasty. Why don't you surrender?"

Hundreds of messengers shouted out this voice...

The sound shook the heaven and the earth.

Zhang Liao shouted again: "How do you compare with the 100,000-strong army of Xiaoyaojin?"

this…

At first, Wu Jun was still resisting, but soon they found that they were powerless.

Yes, they only have a few thousand people, while the opponent has tens of thousands of people. The most deadly thing is... the enemy's coach declares his family status, and... he is none other than Zhang Wenyuan!

In Wu Jun's view, the name "Zhang Wenyuan" alone was worth a hundred thousand soldiers.

The white robe is stained with blood, showing that the man is very brave, his back is like a spear, and his arms are like pine trees.

Within half an hour, under the surging attack of the Wei army, Hefei City once again lost its master... Another half hour passed.

In the heavy rain, the "Wu" flags at the top of the city have fallen off one after another, and have been replaced by flags like "Wei" and "Zhang"...

As for those captured Wu soldiers...according to the usual practice, they were ruthlessly slaughtered by the Wei army, and their blood flowed into rivers.

In less than an hour, the lost territory of Hefei was recovered. This achievement caused thousands of elite and brave men to burst into earth-shaking shouts, like tsunamis and rolling waves, and thunder on the ground, all of which combined with the passionate passion of life and death. Shout it out.

The rain finally stopped...

In the dim light of morning, Zhang Liao stood at the top of the city, as if he was welcoming the dawn that belonged to him.

The rising sun outlines the outline of this battle-hardened warrior.

His shoulders are broad, his waist is tight, his limbs are slender, and his well-tempered body has a beauty of strength and strength.

The momentum honed on the battlefield makes people feel that what is standing in front of them is a fierce blade unsheathed.

At this time...the deputy general reported:

"General, the entire Wu army in Hefei City has been wiped out. Those who surrounded and surrendered were killed without mercy. All 400 prisoners were beheaded, and all 400 heads were hung on the towers——"

"Report, general... the four cities of Yicheng, Ping'a, Dangtu, and Xiacai have surrendered after hearing the news. Seven cities including Zhongli, Yinling, and Dongcheng are still waiting and watching. The soldiers are eager to try and ask the general... whether to continue to attack the city?"

It was as if Wei Jun's confidence had been fully unleashed, and he was extremely high.

At this moment, "Report...general...Yicheng and Ping'a heard that General Zhang was in command, and they had sent people to tell them that they did not dare to disobey General Zhang's power, and they were willing to surrender..."

Ah…

Zhang Liao smiled after hearing this piece of information.

In his opinion... the rule that King Cao Cao has always adhered to, "Those who do not surrender under siege will be killed without mercy" has already produced results. Coupled with Zhang Liao's reputation as "the child stops crying", the effect will undoubtedly be even better! Soon these cities will come back one by one.

But this time...

Zhang Liao turned his head and looked at the rolling Yangtze River. He asked with concern: "What's going on with the Lujiang River? Has Yunchang started attacking?"

This question... There really was a scout who knew something, and he immediately replied: "General, I heard that Guan Yu stopped advancing after he captured Chaisang. It seems that it was because Soochow dispatched hundreds of warships in a mighty and mighty manner. Chen Yujiang... It seems that Sun Quan is determined to start a water battle with Guan Yu!"

——‘Water battle? 』

The spread of these two words inevitably reminded Zhang Liao of Chibi and the water battle that resulted in a huge defeat!

But...it's undeniable.

To destroy Soochow, whether it is him or Guan Yu? What cannot be avoided is this water battle...

The natural moat of the Yangtze River is Soochow’s last resort and trump card!

Thoughts on this…

Zhang Liao's eyes narrowed even more tightly, and his cheeks showed a bit of seriousness.

The deputy general next to him saw that Zhang Liao's expression was wrong and quickly asked: "General Zhang... what are you..."

Zhang Liao looked at Jiang Tao, he pondered for a moment, and then said: "The last time I joined forces with Yunchang to defeat the enemy, it was the white horse that killed Yan Liang, and Yanjin that punished Wen Chou!"

Having said this, Zhang Liao sighed heavily, but his eyes suddenly became much more urgent.

"It's been sixteen years... I haven't seen Yun Chang's style again for sixteen years. It's been sixteen years since I've fought side by side with him. Haha... I miss that feeling so much -"

With this last smile, the sword in Zhang Liao's hand pointed at the Yangtze River.

His eyes turned cold and his tone became meticulous, "Abandon Ruxukou and change the route to march to Lujiang River. This time, facing the Soochow Navy, Yun Chang and I will fight side by side and defeat thieves side by side!"

"Here——"

Following Zhang Liao's instructions, a kind of soldiers quickly echoed. They were already ready to go, sharpening their swords!

It's just a tiger and a tiger, and a tiger and a tiger in a nest——

In fact, there was another sentence in Zhang Liao's mind. He almost wanted to blurt it out, but in the end he swallowed it back... and did not say it out.

This sentence is:

——"The rats leave, Wei and Jingshu!" When the world is divided into two parts! 』

…

…

"As expected of you, Zhang Babai——"

When Guan Lin saw the battle report in Xiangyang City, he couldn't help but think of this sentence.

Standing in front of him were his third sister Guan Yinping and... Ruan Yu, the acting prefect stationed in Jiangxia.

The former came here to inquire about their father Guan Yu:

——"How to deal with the navy army assembled by Soochow in Lujiang River. 』

The latter came here to tell Guan Lin that the Zhuge family members had arrived safely in Jiangxia.

As a result, Zhang Liao captured Hefei without bloodshed and conquered the Jianghuai land that Cao Wei had lost in the past six months.

——The plan went very smoothly!

Of course, that sounds ironic.

Even though there was some indescribable tacit understanding between Cao Wei and Soochow, it still took a full four months for Soochow to capture Huainan except Shouchun.

It’s hard-won!

But it only took three days to lose all this!

"Then..." Guan Lin stood up straight, glanced at Ruan Yu, and then turned his attention to the third sister Guan Yinping, "Next, Zhang Liao will go south to help my father, right?"

Because of Guan Lin's direct gaze, and because of these words, "Oh..." Guan Yinping suddenly realized, "It turns out... the fourth brother kept saying, wait for Lujiang's words, wait... I'm still wondering, are there reinforcements anywhere? ? Never thought that what my fourth brother was waiting for... turned out to be Cao Wei's soldiers and horses, Zhang Liao who made Jiangdong's children stop crying? "

As Guan Yinping said...

She came with a mission, and the mission was given by Guan Yu and Xu Shu.

Having said that, Guan Yu's force and Xu Shu's intelligence should have been invulnerable when combined.

Combined with the "siege equipment" sent by Guan Lin from Jiangxia, it should be... devastating and invincible.

But...the problem still lies in this water battle!

So far... neither Mianshui Villa nor the refinery... has actually developed any equipment that is beneficial to water warfare. This means that Jingzhou cannot completely conquer the Yangtze River and gain the upper hand in the "arms race".

This is the case. Among warships, Soochow has the largest number of tower ships and stern warships;

In addition, there are a large number of small boats. These small boats were originally coordinated by Gan Ning. In the past... during the battle with Cao Wei in Chibi, they were brilliant on the battlefield with their flexibility and maneuverability. Now... even without Gan Ning , but these small boats are also a great threat to Jingzhou's navy.

Therefore... no matter how Guan Yu and Xu Shu discuss the winning rate of this Lujiang water battle, Guan Yu and Xu Shu's attitudes are surprisingly consistent.

——It’s not easy to fight!

None of them are sure of winning, and the gap still exists.

On land, Guan Yu and Guan Jiajun were not afraid of Wu Jun, but on the deck... it was a completely opposite story.

Therefore, they sent Guan Yinping to ask Guan Lin to see if Guan Lin, who was always "agile", "agile" and "anticipated the enemy", had any tricks to "defeat the enemy".

But... Guan Yinping has been here all morning. When faced with her inquiries, Guan Lin always said "Wait..."

Finally, he became impatient in answering and subconsciously said something that Guan Yinping couldn't understand.

It seemed like - "Sister? Can't you just let the bullets fly for a while?"

What is a bullet?

Guan Yinping wondered, since it flies, maybe it is the same type as a hot air balloon?

Of course... this is not important, the important thing is... Guan Yinping is waiting with eager eyes, wishing to become a roundworm in Guan Lin's belly to see what he thinks.

At this moment, Ruan Yu came, bringing with him the news that Zhang Liao had captured Hefei.

Then, the situation is completely different!

This made Guan Yinping, who was not very fast and mentally immature, suddenly understand something...

"Fourth brother... I seem to understand." Guan Yinping tapped his forehead, and then said softly: "The reason why you asked the envoy to force Cao Cao to agree to the conditions and let the Wei army pretend to be Jingzhou soldiers to rob Soochow's convoy. The first is to save people, and the second... is to make Ni Wei anger Sun Quan even more!"

"Let them both become mortal enemies. Wei and Wu originally formed a private alliance to backstab us in Jingzhou, but you retaliate in the same way and silently formed an alliance with the rebel Wei, allowing the Wei army to seize the land of Huainan naturally. ...In this way, the Wei army will inevitably move south, whether it is Ruxukou or Lujiang... Soochow will be under tremendous pressure, and those warships will have to divide their forces to defend against the enemy. In this way... I will have a chance to win the battle on the front line Fight!”

While Guan Yinping was talking, she looked at Guan Lin, and Guan Lin smiled at her.

Because, the third sister’s analysis this time is absolutely correct!

"Third sister, actually... all of this is a game in itself."

Guan Lin stood up slowly, and then explained in a very relaxed tone: "Before describing this game, we must recognize the fact that keeping Soochow... is it a benefit or a drawback? Of course, there are different opinions, but in my case It seems... this is always a hidden danger, because as long as Soochow exists, we must always prevent someone from stabbing someone in the back, and the Sun-Liu alliance has been full of rifts from the beginning, and Cao Cao is very good at driving away tigers and devouring wolves... So, only Only by destroying Soochow can we deal with Cao Wei with peace of mind... Only then can we have the most stable rear area!"

As Guan Lin said, he actually has many ideas related to increasing production, improving farmland water conservancy, and education... about the ideological awakening of workers, about political reform, and about industrialization...

There are so many of these ideas!

These thoughts were sealed in his memory.

But these ideas... So far, they can only be ideas and have not been put into practice... not because it is difficult to put them into practice, but because these can be turned into a major prerequisite for action, which is Jingzhou...

It is Jingzhou that needs a stable, peaceful and relaxed rear area.

Undoubtedly...the existence of Sun Quan and Soochow has always shrouded this rear area under threat.

This is why Guan Lin spent the most money... but only built two new cities and strengthened two old cities... He had to do this, he had to guard against someone's backstab!

but…

If Soochow is destroyed, and if the land of Soochow becomes part of Liu Bei's territory and is controlled by Guan Yu, then this game of chess will be alive, and Guan Lin will also have the most precious rear area.

There is a saying in Go - golden horn, silver edge, grass belly!

The reason why Cao Cao is strong is that he occupies the golden corner and the silver border...supplies and resources from the rear are continuously transported to the front. Compared with this, Jingzhou is just a grass belly with air leakage from all sides!

really…

Guan Lin's words stunned Ruan Yu and Guan Yinping.

Guan Lin continued, "Since you are determined to destroy Soochow, you need to have a clear understanding of the current strength of Jingzhou and Ni Wei...and then weigh it!"

Having said this, Guan Lin paused for a moment, "So I thought hard, carefully figured out the current situation, figured out the general trend of the world, analyzed...the comparison of the combat power of the three parties under the three-legged tripod, and came to the conclusion...the only way is to continuously weaken Soochow and push Dongwu into the future." Wu’s combat power was dug into Jingzhou one by one, making him weak... Only in this way will sufficient conditions be laid for the destruction of Soochow!”

"But... this is not enough, because the Soochow Navy... because of the Yangtze River and the Battle of Chibi, we can't solve the problems that Cao Cao couldn't solve. Therefore, I got a fact that I don't want to admit, but I have to admit, that is, no matter what Neither Cao Wei nor my father Guan Yu can defeat Soochow alone. If we want to destroy Soochow, both parties must join forces!"

Having said this, Guan Lin paused for a moment, but his eyes became sparkling and his tone became meticulous.

"So, four months ago, I started to lay out this plan... use the sea of ​​​​purgatory fire in Fancheng and use the soldiers and horses of Ni Wei to blackmail Cao Cao so that they have to accept my conditions. I will spend a lot of money... and spare no effort to cast it. He captured two cities that Soochow could not conquer... causing them to suffer a heavy setback, with low morale and low fighting spirit. This was when Soochow was at its weakest!"

"Then, let Cao Cao and my father join forces to attack Soochow! In the current situation, with the alliance between Wei and Wu, Jingzhou is bound to suffer a heavy setback, but the same...the alliance between Wei and Jingzhou, Sun Quan and Soochow...even in their heyday may not be able to The enemy, not to mention now...at its extremely weak moment...so..."

Having said this, Guan Lin pointed his hand sharply at the map, pointing in the direction of the Lujiang River.

"Zhang Liao is a handsome man. Firstly, he must be able to understand the current situation. Secondly, because of Zhuo Rong, he hates Soochow to the core, so...he will definitely cooperate with my father to attack Lujiang! To wipe out Soochow's active forces to the greatest extent...then When Soochow's naval forces became more powerful again? How could they withstand the simultaneous attack by two armies with high morale and continuous victories..."

Speaking of this, even Guan Lin couldn't help but let out a long breath.

It was as if because of all these layouts and plans... Today, after Chang really got what he wanted and got what he wanted, he felt relieved...

His eyes drifted outward, as if he had crossed mountains, rivers, and reached the Lujiang River in the eye of the storm!

His voice also became as deep and thick as Hong Zhongda Lu.

"Soochow is only one step away from overthrow! Lujiang! One battle is all it takes!"

"My father and Zhang Wenyuan joined forces. Even Soochow in its heyday, even if Zhou Gongjin, Taishi Ziyi, Gan Xingba, Ling Gongji, and Lu Boyan were all there, they might not be able to withstand it. What's more, now, haha... He Soochow, he Sun Quan Who else is there with you?"

…

…
