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

Outside Lujiang City, six Guan family soldiers with exactly the same posture stood outside the central tent of the Guan family army.

Everyone is holding an iron gun in his left hand, and his right hand is resting on the Huanshou knife at his waist. The bright light armor on his body is dazzling under the sunlight.

A white feather on the flying general's helmet pierces straight into the sky. The whole person looks brave and majestic, like a sharp sword.

Just standing there in the solemn atmosphere.

"What?"

Accompanied by a "bang", there was the sound of Guan Yu's hands slapping on the table in the big tent. Guan Yu seemed to be extremely shocked and exclaimed, "Wen Yuan was actually injured so seriously?"

The envoy of the Wei army also showed a worried look, "Although General Zhang almost wiped out the Soochow navy in the water battle, but...who would have thought that Xu Sheng commanded the large ship to directly ram into General Zhang's warship, and then Xu Sheng and Zhang The generals fought desperately on the deck...one was killed and the other was wounded..."

"Originally, General Zhang was supposed to stay in bed and rest, but he never thought... General Zhang was thinking about his agreement with General Guan, and insisted on uniting the army south to attack Lujiang City as promised. The bumpy carriage and horses along the way made his condition worse... Now... Now he has spoken Vomiting blood, unconscious!"

this…

When such a piece of news reached Guan Yu's ears, Guan Yu's brows furrowed deeply and his expression became solemn.

He pondered for a long time and then said: "Wen Yuan is a righteous man. The most important thing for a righteous man is to keep his promise...I never thought that this promise would harm Wen Yuan."

Guan Yu was not surprised or happy at all because the fainting Zhang Liao was Cao Wei's general.

On the contrary, his friendship with Zhang Liao has long gone beyond positions, and he is worried about Zhang Liao's injury...

"Wen Yuan's injury? Can it be cured?" Guan Yu asked with concern.

The messenger was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said truthfully, "The military doctors are at a loss, but... they have already rushed to report to the King of Wei, hoping that the King of Wei will send more medical officers... I am afraid... I am afraid that this place is thousands of miles away from Luoyang. , even if the medical officer comes... Not to mention whether he can be saved, it is still unknown whether he can be saved in time..."

It stands to reason…

The envoy should not tell these words to Guan Yu. After all, they have completely different positions.

To say the least, it is true that Jingzhou and Cao Wei jointly attacked Wu.

But if the Wu Kingdom falls, there will be inevitable friction between Jingzhou and Cao Wei. Will Guan Yu use this to attack the Wei army... These are all hidden dangers.

But...the envoy was also too worried about Zhang Liao's safety. The so-called concern is chaos, and the so-called emergency medical treatment. Perhaps the envoy also had a little illusion. The top priority-only...Guan Yu can save Zhang Liao.

On the other hand, Guan Yu, after a brief period of deliberation, finally opened his mouth and commanded on his pale cheeks: "Seven hundred miles away, report the news to Jiangling City...let my son dispatch the divine doctor Zhongjing to come to Lujiang to treat Zhang Wenyuan——"

this…

Guan Yu's order shocked many of the lieutenants, and even surprised and delighted the envoy from Wei. He knelt down with a "click" and said, "As for the cure of General Wen Yuan, our army in Wei has been discussing it over and over again. We are hesitant about what to do and look forward and backward. Hesitating again and again...I never thought...General Guan was able to make a decisive decision and did not hesitate to use the miracle doctor Zhongjing...Thank you, General Guan, thank you General Guan..."

"No need to say more, you go back to the camp immediately and let the medical officers take care of Wenyuan." Guan Yu's tone was solemn. He didn't know whether he was worried about Zhang Liao or worried about Wei Jun's medical level. He added solemnly. , "At least we have to hold on until the arrival of Dr. Zhongjing——"

"Yes...yes..." The Wei envoy agreed repeatedly, and then walked back like flying.

But it was Xu Shu who was in the Chinese army's tent.

Listening to Guan Yu's words, it seemed as if Xu Shu was also a righteous man and had a good personal relationship with Zhang Liao. A righteous man often understands a righteous man best...

However, Xu Shu pondered for a moment, and he couldn't help but raise his head and look through the tent door towards Lujiang City, which was full of food and weapons. He sighed quietly and thought to himself:

——'Just now, Jiang Qin's 15,000 soldiers have entered the city, but our army has lost the help of Wen Yuan and the Wei army. One is declining and the other is increasing... This Lujiang City is probably not easy to attack! 』

Under the sun, the towering city wall is like a dormant giant beast. It stands majestically, as if to warn all invading enemies:

——Jiangdong’s last barrier is not so easy to overcome.

…

…

Build the city of Ye and the palace of the Marquis of Wu.

humiliation!

Especially Cao Pi and Liu Zhen, who had blood splattered on their cheeks. In a state of grief and humiliation... they crawled through the dog hole and entered the outer wall of the palace.

"Ha ha ha ha…"

"Why did the envoy of Cao Wei learn to crawl like a dog?"

"We, Wu, have three gates and six gates. When envoys from great powers come, they will naturally go through the gates of envoys from great powers. If anyone comes who is treacherous, inferior to a pig or a dog, then he will naturally climb through the dog gate! Hahaha, dog thieves and dog gates... complement each other, complement each other!"

Amidst the sarcasm and ridicule...

Cao Pi and Liu Zhen finally crawled out. They stood up and patted the dust on their bodies. Liu Zhen was thin-skinned. Amidst the ridicule... he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in, but because of Wu Zhi's death, he was He was so distraught and exhausted that even his legs were so weak that he was about to collapse.

Cao Pi's mood was just like Liu Zhen's, but he was used to being forbearing, so... even in this sad mood, his eyes were raised as usual, and he calmly asked: "How dare Wu Hou summon the Wei envoy! Ask, where is Wu Hou?"

"Ha ha ha ha…"

"Hahaha…"

The jeers continued.

At this moment, a voice came, "Before meeting Wu Hou, you might as well have Wei Envoy take a look at this first..."

This voice was made by Lu Meng. He had been in bed for a long time and had just recovered from a long illness. But when he put on the armor, he no longer had the slightest dejection and sickness on the sickbed. His voice was like a bell and his steps were sonorous, as if he was deliberately trying to shock the great Wei in front of him. messenger.

Following Lu Meng's words, a group of officials gave way...

But on a high platform in front of the palace of Wu State, more than thirty ax hands were sharpening their knives, and beside them, shirtless men tied up with five-flowered flowers were being pressed onto the guillotine.

Seeing that these men were tall and powerful, they were definitely from the north. Cao Pi immediately realized that they were from Wei!

At this moment, Sun Quan's roar came from the palace: "Who is under the stage?"

Lu Meng cupped his hands and faced the palace on the stone steps, "He is from Wei!"

"What did you commit?"

"Breach of trust, breaking of promises——"

"I hate this person who breaks his promise the most... kill him!"

The conversation between Lu Meng and Sun Quan was very fast.

And with Lu Meng's voice, "Behead! The treacherous person——"

Those swordsmen seemed to have been prepared for a long time.

The steel knife was also raised high against the sun shadow, and with a "swish" sound, the steel knife fell down... More than thirty people's heads rolled on the ground, rubbing against the ground and making a "bang, bang" sound.

this…

——‘Is this another round of ridicule and intimidation? 』

Cao Pi thought so in his heart, but his expression could no longer be as forbearing as before, and his brows were deeply furrowed... On the other hand, Sun Quan slowly walked out of the palace, as if nothing had happened, and he looked towards the officials under the steps. He asked Lu Meng, Cao Pi and Liu Zhen: "Are the people of Wei good at breaking promises? Breaking promises?"

It seems that Sun Quan's words reflected Cao Wei's abandonment of Soochow, and Zhuan'er teamed up with the Guan family and his sons to plot his Soochow... Undoubtedly, these words also gave Sun Quan the upper hand in public opinion.

At least for Cao Wei, Sun Quan and Soochow, they stood firm and were the ones who should be more sad and angry!

As the heads of these thirty or so Wei people fell to the ground.

Such catharsis... also made every Soochow civil and military officer present take a long breath, as if all the grievances they had suffered during this period were released.

"Hahahaha..." Lu Meng laughed loudly, "Wei people know the truth? Wei people know the righteousness?"

He deliberately raised his voice when he said this, and it was a rhetorical question...

Following his words, everyone laughed in unison, "Hahahaha". This laughter seemed to be a further release of their emotions.

Someone roared wantonly and replied: "Wei people don't believe! How do Wei people know righteousness?"

This... Hearing this, Cao Pi could still bear it, but Liu Zhen was already a little intolerable. His face was thin, but it didn't mean... that he would be willing to let people trample on his and Wei's dignity.

Literary men have character, and as one of the Seven Sons of Jian'an, this character cannot be trampled upon——

"Oranges grown in the south of the Huaihe River are called tangerines, and those grown in the north of the Huaihe River are called tangerines..." Liu Zhen said angrily: "Orange trees growing south of the Huaihe River are tangerine trees, and those growing north of the Huaihe River are tangerine trees, but the leaves are similar. It’s just that their fruits taste different. The reason lies in the soil and water!”

"We in the Wei Dynasty have always kept our promises and kept our word. In the entire territory of the Wei Dynasty, I have never heard of anyone being beheaded for breaking promises and betrayal. But today in the Soochow Palace, so many Wei people have been executed for breaking their promises. Kill... Doesn’t this mean that the soil and water of Soochow instigated the people to betray their trust?"

Liu Zhen was well-read in poetry and books. He used the way Yanzi responded to the satire of the King of Chu in "Yan Zi Envoys to Chu" to respond to Sun Quan and the Manchu civil and military affairs of Soochow. But...he was wrong because the biggest conflict between Soochow and Chu was The difference is...the King of Chu wants to be shameless, but Sun Quan can be completely shameless!

really…

"Obviously it's the Wei people who are eager for success and profit, but they are treacherous, but they blame this disaster on me, the Wu region, how audacious... Lord, please tie up this person who speaks clever words and deceive people's hearts, and kill him with a stick!"

These words were chanted by Lu Meng... Cao Pi immediately had a premonition that he would not surrender.

The subsequent development of events also confirmed Cao Pi's conjecture.

As Sun Quan said, "Absolutely..."

Immediately, a tiger guard from the car captured Liu Zhen. Then an iron rod hit his knee, and Liu Zhen fell down.

Immediately afterwards, the huge wooden stick kept smashing down...

"Ah...ah...Zihuan..."

All that was left was Liu Zhen's wailing sound.

Cao Pi quickly handed over his hand and said, "Marquis Wu..."

He had just chanted his words, but the tiger guards under the car seemed to have received certain orders in advance, and they hit them with heavy sticks. When Cao Pi spoke, "Ah" Liu Zhen let out one last wailing, and then there was no sound again.

At this time, Lu Meng walked up to Liu Zhen and stepped on his face with his foot. There seemed to be no movement, and then he reached out to touch his nose.

died--

Lu Meng seemed to be expecting this.

He immediately reported to Sun Quan: "Marquis Wu, this clever talker has been executed..."

"Oh!" Sun Quan stood at a high place, looking down at all this, and also glanced at Cao Pi with his peripheral vision, "Wei envoy? What else do you want to say?"

this…

Cao Pi looked at the fallen Liu Zhen with great sadness, first Wu Zhi...and then Liu Zhen. At this moment, he truly felt that in the current situation, the life of an enemy envoy and the son of an enemy king was like an ant. In general, they are left to their own devices.

Cao Pi was also drunk... How could this seemingly good situation suddenly change in just one or two months? How did his plan to be "a distinguished guest at Soochow" and "the ironclad Crown Prince of Wei"... start to go to waste?

"Wei Envoy? Why don't you speak anymore..."

Seeing Cao Pi's astonishment, Sun Quan continued to ask, his tone low and as oppressive as ever.

Cao Pi could only endure it, endure it, and endure it some more. He gritted his teeth and said, "No...it's nothing...if Marquis Wu has nothing else to do, I will just...resign!"

"If there is nothing else important? Hahaha..." Sun Quan smiled, "Today I summoned all the civil and military officials of the dynasty. Many of these civil and military officials have lost their heirs, and some have even lost their parents and brothers. Yes... there are only two of them. In that month, tens of thousands of people, hundreds of warships, and more than ten cities and counties were killed in Soochow. All because of your treachery in the Wei Dynasty? You, Cao Pi, actually have the nerve to say... If there is nothing else important? Haha...haha Haha...Today, Gu and the ministers want to denounce you, your father, and those who rebel against Wei. I want Jiangdong and the world to know...I should be punished for rebelling against Wei. You Cao family and his son have betrayed your faith and are a shame for the court and the world. laugh!"

really…

Cao Pi was right. The summons under such circumstances... Wu Hou wanted to humiliate him, humiliate the Wei Dynasty, denounce his father, and denounce the Wei Dynasty!

Can…

Cao Pi just guessed this, what could he do?

He could only grit his teeth tightly. He knew that today's test... might not be easy.

Heavier humiliation and more ridicule and ridicule from Soochow court officials are inevitable.

Sun Quan wants to use this court meeting to prove to Jiangdong his intention to fight decisively!

He will never compromise or admit defeat!

So…

Based on this, Cao Pi couldn't help but ponder deeply in his heart:

——"Will I be sacrificed to the flag?" 』

——"Do I still have life to go back?" 』

…

…

In the evening, the setting sun shone on the mottled palace gate, and Cao Pi walked out of the palace gate sadly.

His cheeks were red, and he had been slapped countless times by countless veterans;

Even...his clothes were forcibly taken off, and then he was forced to put on women's clothes;

Wearing just this red women's clothes, he walked out step by step with bare feet and unkempt hair.

Outside the door...people had already heard the news and came over, throwing eggs, stones, and rotten vegetable leaves at him.

It seemed that all the death of Jiang Dongerlang and all the anger of Soochow were borne by him alone.

Humiliation, this is deep humiliation...

Cao Pi said nothing and walked silently towards the road full of "bumps" and "tribulations".

At that moment, he realized that unless Soochow was destroyed, he would continue to bear this humiliation.

A large group of people followed Cao Pi, making a lot of noise.

At this moment, I saw a few rotten wooden boxes hanging upstairs at the palace gate. What they contained were Wu Zhi, Liu Zhen, and those who were innocent just because they were "Wei people". The innocent merchants and common people who were beheaded and suffered such a disaster.

The common people all whispered angrily to each other.

"It is because of Ni Wei's betrayal that I, Soochow, encountered this difficulty..."

"Are all the deaths of so many Jiangdong men in vain? We should kill Cao Pi...otherwise it will not be enough to satisfy the hatred in our hearts!"

"Fight against Ni Wei...Fight against Ni Wei!"

In an extremely unfavorable situation, the most difficult thing to control is the human heart.

It is precisely Lu Meng who understands people's hearts best.

The first thing he did for Sun Quan after he woke up was to divert the conflict.

Create a despicable and shameless "enemy", and then make this "enemy" the target of public criticism, in order to divert the attention of all Jiangdong people.

Give them a place to vent their anger.

Undoubtedly, Jingzhou and the Guan family were the ones who stabbed Soochow in the back... Soochow was stabbed in the back instead of being stabbed in the back, and it was precisely because of this... Jingzhou could not become the target of public criticism in the eyes of the people.

Therefore, Cao Cao, Cao Pi, and Cao Wei became the people and forces in Jiangdong who vented their anger!

However, this is only the first step.

Just as Cao Pi walked out of the palace gate step by step, Lu Meng climbed up to the palace gate and read out the edict of Wu Hou in a condescending manner:

——"As the leader of the Soochow Kingdom alone, the nobles of the people and ministers are extremely high, and the expectations have been exceeded. All I want is to protect the environment and the people, and protect a happy land... However, the rebellion against Wei caused Soochow to suffer a great disaster... At this critical moment , I can't recruit troops and horses to the Lujiang River to resist the enemy outside the country's gate. I am against the great power of Wei, and I also have the help of Jingzhou. I also know that it is difficult and dangerous to defend the enemy, and the only thing I can do is provide compensation and compensation!"

——"From now on...general amnesty will be given to Jiangdong, the elderly will be given provisions, and the families of the fighting children will be given daily pensions. If the Lujiang River can be held for thirty days, the frontline soldiers and families...can all be allocated ten acres of fertile land. If they can hold on for a hundred If you can hold on for a year, you will be rewarded with a hundred golds——"

this…

Cao Pi listened silently and couldn't help but murmured: "When did Soochow have such a careful plan? A humiliation and a reward, is this... to revive the morale of the army and the public opinion?"

At this time...suddenly, the sound of "tap, tap, tap, tap" footsteps came closer and closer, and more than 5,000 tigers and cavalry dismounted from the carriages stepped forward, surrounding the entire palace.

This sudden scene made all the people in Soochow look puzzled.

Lu Meng's voice came out again.

"All the fellow villagers, please disperse... Next, the Marquis of Wu will discuss with the heads of the major clans!"

"The heads of the great clans are upright and upright. At this time of crisis in Soochow, they intend to re-measure the land and allocate the acres to the people of Jiangdong... to the warriors of Jiangdong. Everyone... just wait for the good news!"

this…

Following this last sound, it seemed as if there was only a brief pause.

Suddenly... "Long live..." a cry resounded, followed by an uproar among the people, and voices such as "Long live the Marquis of Wu" one after another.

——Insult the envoy of Wei;

——Reward meritorious deeds;

——Divide the land!

This series of combination skills undoubtedly... made Soochow's sluggish morale and popularity once again boil, cheer up, and become excited.

Soon this news will be spread to Lujiang and Ruxu through "Flying Pigeon"...

After hearing the news, the brave soldiers there will definitely be very excited and excited to fight!

And this is what Lu Meng proposed to Sun Quan based on "people's hearts".

"Boom——"

With soldiers and horses stationed there, the three and six gates were all sealed...

——Yu, Wei, Kong, Xie!

——Gu, Zhu, Zhang!

These patriarchs of the Soochow clan were all trapped in the palace. This was a form of confinement, and under no circumstances, Sun Quan was forced to use them for surgery.

Using these clan chiefs as hostages, they mobilized soldiers and horses from all clans to re-divide the fields of each clan...

When a crisis comes and these aristocratic families cannot be relied upon!

Lu Meng's heart was like a clear mirror, and the only people he could rely on were the soldiers and the people...

The path of "forced suppression" that Sun Ce took back then is the optimal solution under this situation, and Sun Quan must take it again!

This... is the only way to save the country, make a comeback, and reverse the situation!

only…

This decision was not easy for Sun Quan.

This means that he must completely deny...all his achievements in the years since he took the throne, he must admit...the path he chose is wrong, it will not work, and he must turn back from the lost path!

…

…

The next day, with the first ray of morning sunlight, a letter of flying pigeons took off from Jianye City... They crossed mountains, rivers, lakes and seas and settled in Lujiang City.

Arriving at the same time as the flying pigeons were the letters from Jiangdong.

Under the instruction of He Qi and Jiang Qin.

This letter from home was distributed to every soldier, and every shrine would arrange for literate officials to interpret it for them and write replies for them.

For a moment, the entire Lujiang City seemed to be crying. While every soldier wet his gown with tears, they also strengthened their determination to resist desperately.

Their families are very good, and every day because they stand on the front line, their families receive a large amount of money and food;

If they persist for thirty days, a hundred days, or a year...the family will be divided into acres, land, and money...

It seems that as long as they can stick to it for one more day, their families will be able to live a richer and more prosperous life.

Under such a mentality, the Soochow soldiers who were already a little disheartened by the successive sluggish offensives, like walking zombies...the instinctive, stiff and persistent Soochow soldiers suddenly glowed with a new fighting spirit.

Each and every dull look in their eyes also became

Having said that, the requirements of soldiers in this era are actually very simple...

First, my family is doing well;

Second, their campaign has meaning;

Third, their names will not be forgotten——

Undoubtedly...with such a letter from Fei Ge, these three days were all satisfied, and Lujiang City burst out with a rainbow of fighting spirit.

On the other hand, Ruxukou...

When Zhou Xun received these letters from home, his brows quickly knitted together.

He knew what this letter from home meant. Of course... Ruxukou didn't have to worry about the morale and fighting spirit of the soldiers because of him, but Lujiang...

call…

Let out a long breath.

Zhou Xun quickly summoned Sun Shao, Tai Shixiang, Huang Bing, and Zhou Jun to discuss the matter...

But the final conclusion...

In addition to the sighs from everyone, only Sun Shao's meaningful groan was left, "Sun Quan's move is a brand new challenge for the second general..."

They already knew that Zhang Liao was seriously ill.

The burden of conquering Lujiang seems to have fallen entirely on Guan Yu and the Guan family army... Originally, Lujiang had enough troops and supplies, but now... morale and fighting spirit have been awakened again, it is difficult... it is difficult...

Huh... Zhou Xun sighed for the umpteenth time that day. He pondered for a long time and then said calmly, "I'm afraid General Yunchang can't break this situation... Now it's Sun Quan who has posed a difficult problem for Young Master Yunqi! Let's see. How did Mr. Yunqi solve the problem..."

Sun Shao nodded heavily in agreement, but at the same time, he raised new concerns.

"This battle should not be delayed for too long, otherwise things will change..."

Indeed, as Sun Shao said...despite the loss of Lukou, Fankou, and Chaisang, the Lujiang River has not been broken, especially the foundation of Jiangdong.

In this situation, you can't be involved in a Lujiang for too long——

Once Sun Quan and Soochow are allowed to slow down...then...all the previous efforts will be in vain.

"Come here, please quickly pass the news to Mr. Yunqi of Jiangling City and ask him to make plans quickly——"

With Zhou Xun's last words.

This meeting, which is destined not to discuss the results, has come to an end...

As mentioned in this meeting - now, the pressure is on Guan Lin!

The battle of Lujiang under this psychological game:

——There’s no time to wait, it’s imminent!

…
