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

Chang'an City.

"Dong, Dong, Dong--"

The bloody setting sun filled the sky, dyeing the battlefield red.

Outside the city, drums were beating like thunder, and 5,000 of the most elite Guan family soldiers were rushing towards the city wall. Shouts and screams were intertwined, and the battle was particularly fierce.

"Go in--"

"Conquer Chang'an--"

"Long live the Han Dynasty, the Guan family army will win--"

Some of the first Guan family soldiers had bloodthirsty light in their eyes, set up ladders, held shields, and climbed hard, frantically attacking the hub and core city of Guanzhong in the Wei Dynasty.

"Hold on, hold on..."

"Fight, fight, fight!"

Xiahou Zizang's voice kept coming out.

What he was protecting was his father and the entire Wei Dynasty. Once the gates of Chang'an were opened, Guanzhong would be lost, and the Wei Dynasty would be like the Yuan family, and all its glory would be wiped out overnight.

He… was responsible for the rise and fall of the Wei Dynasty, and there was no way out.

“Zizang——”

At the most intense moment of the battle, a voice came from behind Xiahou Zizang. He turned his head suddenly and saw Li Miao rushing up the tower.

Seeing Li Miao so anxious, Xiahou Zizang couldn’t help but have a bad premonition in his heart.

He didn’t care about commanding the soldiers here, he ran over and supported Li Miao.

"Brother Hannan? What happened?"

"Your father... General Xiahou, oh... oh..." Li Miao sighed twice in a row, then turned around, "Come with me, he is at the bottom of the tower. He was worried about you, so he came here specially, but he never thought... never thought that he was injured by the spies in the city. He is... already dying, he... he just wants to see you one last time!"

Li Miao spoke with all his strength, tears in his eyes.

And Xiahou Zizang's pupils couldn't help but widen at this moment.

Father's safety is like this?

How could he care about the battle on the tower? Filial piety comes first, and his father's last wish before his death, he must see him no matter what!

Immediately, "Brother, Brother Hannan, please lead the way, take me to see my father..."

Xiahou Zizang almost begged.

Li Miao pretended to stare at the battlefield, frowning, and said worriedly: "If you go down, who can be the backbone on this tower? Ah! Ah?"

Li Miao's voice became louder and louder, especially the last two consecutive "ahs". He almost opened his eyes to the maximum, and his eyeballs were about to burst out, with a sense of déjà vu of the situation.

"Then...what should we do?"

Xiahou Zizang suddenly reacted, "Brother Hannan, isn't my father downstairs? I'll be back soon, brother Hannan, hold on here for me. If my father is fine, I will be back soon--"

At this point, Xiahou Zizang no longer hesitated and directly stuffed the military token and the command flag into Li Miao's hands.

He quickly went down the tower.

On the other hand, Li Miao, while weighing the weight of the "military token" and the "command flag" in his hand, squinted his eyes and looked at the back of Xiahou Zizang who was leaving.

Hehe...

Hehe...

He laughed, and laughed very happily.

When Xiahou Zizang walked away, he couldn't help but whispered: "Zizang, you are still so stupid and naive? Hehe, even if your father was really assassinated? How could he recall you at this time? Haha, hahahaha..."

At this point, Li Miao's eyes narrowed into a slit, he turned around and stared at the anxious battlefield.

He shouted: "Come here? The East Gate is about to be breached? Major General Xiahou will go to support first, and you will immediately withdraw more than half of the troops and go together-"

Ah...

As soon as Li Miao finished speaking, the Xiahou family generals who were still fighting desperately were startled.

But it was an indisputable fact that their Major General Xiahou Zizang left, and it seemed that they should indeed follow their Major General.

But...

"Mr. Li, if we leave here, then... this city gate will not be able to hold out!"

"Choose the lesser of two evils, at least this city gate has not been lost..." Li Miao has already raised the military token high, he bit his lip, and said fiercely: "The most urgent task is to rescue the city gate that has been lost, quickly, quickly... The military token is here, those who disobey the order will be killed-"

As Li Miao said this, as he showed the military token.

The guarding soldiers looked at each other, but in the end, out of fear of the military token and trust in Li Miao, they quickly mobilized and withdrew more than half of the defense.

For a time, the number of Wei troops at the West Gate dropped sharply, and at the same time, the pressure on the Guan family army attacking the city outside the West Gate also dropped sharply-

...

Chang'an, downstairs of the West City Building.

In stark contrast to the fierce battle on the tower, here, there are only a few scattered soldiers...

To be precise, because of the lack of manpower, all the people were arranged on the tower, and there was no room for more people here.

Suddenly, "tap tap tap", Xiang Lie'er's hurried footsteps suddenly sounded, it was Xiahou Zizang's extremely heavy footsteps.

"Where is my father? Where is my father?"

Seeing the soldiers stationed here, Xiahou Zizang couldn't help but grab his clothes and asked anxiously.

"There, General Xiahou was attacked at that alley..."

This soldier was originally arranged here by Li Miao, and he guided Xiahou Zizang according to the prepared words...

At this time, Xiahou Zizang's heart and eyes were filled with his father's safety. He could not think calmly. He let go of the soldier's hand and ran towards the entrance of the alley.

only…

Little did he know that the moment he turned around, the soldier he had just picked up slowly raised his hand, and there was a small "repeating crossbow" hidden in his sleeve, and The edge has been revealed.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

The unprepared Xiahou Zizang only heard a "sound of breaking wind" in his ears. He instinctively wanted to turn his head to look for the sound, but then... ten crossbow arrows accurately hit his head, and he swayed. After a moment, his last consciousness was that he had been hit by some invisible force and could no longer exert any strength.

Time seemed to freeze, and only the trajectories of the crossbow arrows streaking through the air were clearly visible.

A crossbow fired ten times, and the tip of the crossbow arrow had a cold light, almost stuck in the bones of Xiahou Zang's head.

The crossbow arrow was trembling violently, and blood and brain matter were sprayed out at the same time. Finally... Xiahou Zizang's body shook violently, and his eyes flashed with shock and confusion. He wanted to think more deeply, but he had completely lost it. All perception and consciousness.

He had already sacrificed his life for Wei.

"Go and tell Mr. Li that we have succeeded -"

When the soldier with the repeating crossbow saw the hit, he quickly ordered his subordinates.

The subordinates just nodded and hurried to the top of the city.

But at this moment...

"ah--"

"ah--"

Almost at the same time, a series of exclamations came from behind them, and the soldier immediately turned around.

The moment he turned around, his pupils widened to the extreme, because...right behind him, appearing in his eyes, more than ten soldiers were helping Xiahou Dun arrive here.

In other words, it is very possible that... the scene where he shot Xiahou Zizang, or the fact that he shot Xiahou Zang, has been exposed.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Because Xiahou Dun was blind, he could only hear the shouts of "ah" from the guards around him, but he didn't understand why... Seeing no one responded, he couldn't help but raise his voice, "You, you are talking? What happened? What happened? "

Still no one spoke, Xiahou Zizang fell here, dying tragically.

On the other hand, the assassin and the soldier looked at each other, but neither of them said a word.

Just below the tower, the entire air seemed to freeze for a moment——

It seems like a long time has passed, a long time...

Among Xiahou Dun's personal guards, one of the leaders suddenly understood. He quickly opened his mouth, "General, it's nothing... a soldier died in battle and fell from the tower... I was scared to death!"

Hearing this, Xiahou Dun's hanging heart suddenly fell to the ground. He raised his voice and said to the bodyguard beside him: "What? You have been fighting for a lifetime? Are you shocked by such a scene? Really? Going back more and more…”

"Yes...yes, the general is blaming..."

The guard quickly lowered his voice, looking like he was willing to accept the blame.

But at this moment, he stared deeply at the person who assassinated "Xiahou Zizang", and their eyes met. He remembered... this soldier was Li Miao's personal guard. Because of this, he suddenly understood something, and it was also here. In a brief moment, he made his choice.

"Why don't you lead me up to the tower quickly? My son Zang is still resisting desperately..."

At this time, Xiahou Dun's voice came out again.

"Yes, yes..." The guards nodded quickly and helped Xiahou Dun climb the tower.

The assassin, on the other hand, watched them walk away and couldn't help but let out a deep breath. Although Mr. Li's plan had some changes, for the most part... the situation had been stabilized for him!

On the contrary, it was the "Xiahou Zizang" who was shot dead by a serial crossbow. His body fell under the city tower. His death was as tragic as ever, and no one cared about it——

…

…

"Dad...the whole Hanzhong is everywhere...there are Jingzhou troops descending from the sky everywhere! The arsenal has been occupied, and two of the four city gates have fallen..."

"The child thought that... there must be something wrong with Shangyong and Fangling. Otherwise, the Jingzhou army can fly, and... how could it fly over here?"

"Dad, dad... Hanzhong City can no longer be defended. The top priority is... Fei Ge sent the message to the King of Wei at Bashan. Let him... let him prepare early and let him know about the changes in Fangling and Shangyong!"

The one who made this hoarse roar was Zhong Yao's son - Zhong Yu!

Unlike his father Zhong Yao, a great calligrapher who was calm and free-spirited, Zhong Yu strictly abided by etiquette and rules.

When he was a child, he and his younger brother Zhong Hui stole wine while their father was taking a nap. Zhong Hui only drank without being polite, while Zhong Yu had to salute before drinking. In Zhong Hui's words, stealing is not an act of salute in the first place, so he used There is no need to salute, but Zhong Yu insists that wine is used to complete the etiquette, and he dare not not salute!

It is precisely because of this that when faced with the sudden surrender of Jingzhou soldiers and the critical situation in Hanzhong City, Zhong Yu thought not of escaping, not of his and his father's safety, but of quickly reporting the news to King Wei, so that King Wei could Know the changes in Fangling and Shangyong and make preparations in advance.

Even if you die, even if the city is lost, the message must be passed on.

While talking, Zhong Yu went to look for pieces of paper, looking for pen and ink... He was going to get the flying pigeon, but he never thought...

"Stop!"

Following Zhong Yao's extremely firm voice, Zhong Yu was stunned, "Father? Send the message to King Wei. One is to make him prepare, and the other... both are also for his reinforcements!"

Zhong Yu's voice was extremely urgent.

However, in stark contrast to him, Zhong Yao was shaking his head, "Rush to help, haha, rush to help..."

He smiled bitterly and pondered.

"We lost, we have already lost, what's the point of telling the King of Wei all the truth——"

He raised his head and looked up at the flying balls in the sky, and the Jingzhou soldiers sliding down the ropes one by one. His laughter became more bitter, "The Jingzhou soldiers are here, Guan Yu must be here too, he... he won't give me so much time, how can he let us hold on until the King of Wei comes to help, we lost... we lost, this battle not only lost Hanzhong, I'm afraid the foundation of the Great Wei will collapse from now on, why should you and I release pigeons? Why should we hold on and wait for help?"

"What does Dad mean?"

From Zhong Yao's words, Zhong Yu seemed to have sensed something, he widened his eyes and looked at this important official of the Great Wei in disbelief, this father who was loyal in his eyes and whom he always regarded as a role model.

But Zhong Yao was still shaking his head, his tone becoming more and more frustrated.

"People are the butchers, I am the meat... People are the butchers, I am the meat! What's the point of telling the King of Wei this now? You and I have already lost, the King of Wei has also lost, and even the foundation of the Great Wei will be destroyed!"

"You and I... Hehe, you and I have never been the fighting force of the Han army in the battle of Hanzhong? Ah... Ah... spoils of war, never have the right to choose his position!"

When he chanted this last sentence, Zhong Yao's pupils widened to the maximum.

His expression showed the appearance and sense of déjà vu of a great calligrapher who was completely surrendered. People are the butchers, I am the meat, and good birds can choose trees to live in!

Just as Zhong Yao chanted this.

A round of footsteps suddenly sounded.

Then, a group of Guan family soldiers led by Guan Ping had already broken into this side, with spears, swords and halberds everywhere.

All the soldiers of the Wei army saw this scene, so they had no intention of fighting again. They had already made way for the Guan family soldiers to walk to Zhong Yao unimpeded.

"You must be Zhong Siqing!"

Just when Zhong Yu was surprised at the speed of the Jingzhou army, Guan Ping slowly said, "My father has long admired Zhong Siqing..."

Just as Guan Ping's voice fell.

"Master--"

A voice came, it was Wei Feng... He was recruited by Zhong Yao, the then prime minister, as a Xicao official. The two of them were of different status, but in fact... they were master and apprentice.

Wei Feng's rebellion against Wei and surrender to Han had made Zhong Yao heartbroken.

But who would have thought that this pair of master and apprentice would meet again, but now, but in the current situation.

"Master... surrender to Han? Master is a Han minister, so he should follow the footsteps of Xun Lingjun... surrender... surrender to Han--"

Wei Feng's words were full of tears.

Zhong Yao was not moved. He just closed his eyes and frowned, as if he had been deliberately pondering for a long time before he opened his mouth.

To everyone's surprise, he said:

——"Good...good!"

——"I am a Han minister. Surrendering to Han is the best!"

It was these two consecutive "good" words, the sentence "surrendering to Han is the best", that made all the Wei soldiers lay down their weapons and all the Guan family soldiers cheered.

This is crucial. Hanzhong, which strangled Cao Cao's throat...has been captured.

In fact, in Guan Ping's view, this surprise attack...is more successful than expected!

So much so that he couldn't help but care about the situation on his father's side?

You know, there are no flying balls over there, no more than 10,000 troops, and even...5,000 elite troops are still marching long distances. The enemy is waiting for the opportunity!

In this way, can Chang'an City be captured as desired?

Thinking of this, Guan Ping shook his head violently!

He became determined because it was his father, and Chang'an City must have been captured.

Guan Ping has always had extraordinary confidence in his father Guan Yu, not to mention that this time the strategic deployment was planned by his fourth brother Guan Lin!

The combination of extreme planning and deployment with extreme command and martial arts, there is no problem or obstacle in this world that can stop the dawn of victory!

Chang'an City, haha, Cao Aman has no way to retreat——

…

…

When Xiahou Dun climbed up the city wall with the help of a group of guards.

The first sentence he heard was: "Mr. Li, evacuate quickly, the west city gate can no longer be defended——"

Then, the sound of "clang clang clang" of military equipment friction and collision resounded on the top of the city.

Even if he couldn't open his eyes, Xiahou Dun could realize that the enemy had already climbed up the city first, and this was the most critical and critical moment.

Success or failure depends on this moment...

"Where are my sons? Where are my son Jiang and my son Zang?"

Xiahou Dun didn't know the current situation of his two sons, and he was still screaming desperately to find his sons.

That's what he thought.

With him here? Even if the two sons were not doing well, they should be encouraged and stand up.

That is, he asked about his sons...

The guards beside him were extremely nervous, and they didn't dare to breathe, for fear of leaking something.

Li Miao heard Xiahou Dun's voice.

He originally planned to retreat, but he immediately changed the subject and screamed hysterically: "Hold on, hold on, I Li Miao... I am in the city, unless... unless Guan Yu steps over me, otherwise... I am in the city, I am in the city!"

Li Miao's voice inexplicably ignited Xiahou Dun's excitement.

He was just pleased with the loyalty of his adopted son Li Miao.

"Report, Mr. Li..."

A soldier rushed over in a hurry. He didn't notice Xiahou Dun was there, so he walked directly to Li Miao and knelt down on one knee.

"how?"

"Mr. Li, it's bad. Blood stains were found in the school field... in the city's school field. Soldiers went to investigate and found the body of Major General Zijiang!"

Corpse?

Undoubtedly, these two words broke into Xiahou Dun's ears, causing his legs to shake violently subconsciously, and he was about to fall to the ground unconsciously.

Zijiang? Zi Jiang was assassinated?

Xiahou Dun felt a heavy blow pressing on his forehead.

Li Miao glanced past Xiahou Dun, noticed his eyes, and then deliberately raised his voice, "Zi Jiang? How could my disciple Jiang...how could he do that?"

With a "bang", Li Miao deliberately dropped the sword in his hand to the ground. With the sound of "clang, clang, clang", he shouted at the top of his lungs, "My brother, I didn't want my brother to die at the hands of a spy. It's so sad and painful. It’s so sad and painful——”

As Li Miao knelt down on his knees, looking extremely painful in the midst of the war, he looked particularly eye-catching.

"Report..."

Another voice came, "Mr. Li, it's not good, it's not good... The body of Major General Zizang was found in the alley below the city tower. His skull was shot through by a crossbow arrow. His death was extremely tragic——"

"What? God-killed traitors, spies, God-killed spies, my brother...my poor sworn brother! I have no sworn relationship with these thieves. Unlike the sun and the moon, I want to eat their flesh raw and taste their blood—— "

Li Miao subconsciously covered his head with both hands. At this moment, he was crying like a tearful person, performing his hoarse performance to the extreme...

Especially when Xiahou Dun was blind, these sounds were undoubtedly more shocking.

"ah--"

Xiahou Dun could no longer bear the pain of losing his son in his old age. He roared in mourning... It was also at this time that more people noticed him.

"Old General——"

"Old General Xiahou——"

"My condolences to the old general——"

At the same time as these voices came out.

"Kill--"

"dash forward--"

"Capture this tower—"

It was as if the Guan family's army outside the city had rushed to the city, and the two sides were fighting on the city tower.

The battle was unusually fierce...

"Old General..." Li Miao also rushed to Xiahou Dun's side at this time, "Old General, don't worry, the two sworn brothers are dead, but I am still here? Am I not the son of the old general? With me guarding the city of Chang'an, who can I can’t even get a foot in the door!”

Having said this, Li Miao picked up the long sword that had fallen to the ground and prepared to kill him again.

"Report..."

At this time, pieces of unfavorable information popped up like mushrooms after a rain.

"Old General, Mr. Li... the East City Gate... the East City Gate has been lost."

"Didn't I send reinforcements?" Li Miao didn't expect that the East City Gate would be breached earlier than the West City Gate, but he was very good at using the information in front of him and quickly shouted loudly, just to condense more buildings that would collapse. The appearance destroyed the morale and fighting spirit of the Wei soldiers even more!

"The reinforcements haven't even arrived at the East City Gate...The East City Gate has been breached."

Following the soldier's words...

On the surface, Li Miao looked surprised, horrified, and frightened, but underneath he was extremely excited.

Became…

Done!

He finally accomplished it.

He even discovered that he had underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Guan family army led by Guan Yu. His attempt to assassinate Xiahou Zizang and Xiahou Zijiang could only be regarded as the icing on the cake, far from being a help in times of need.

The fact may be...the empty city of Chang'an now, with or without him Li Miao, the outcome of the fall will not change...it just depends on how many people die!

"Old General, Mr. Li..." Another deputy general reported, "The west city gate is about to be lost. The gate gate has been snatched by the enemy. The city gate has been opened. The enemy general Guan Yu personally led his army to attack. The enemy's morale has been greatly improved, we...we..."

Seeing this deputy general about to shout, such as what should we do? Should we go?

But don't wait for him to speak.

Li Miao directly stopped him with one sentence, "There are people in the city, there are people in the city. In our Wei Dynasty, we only have soldiers who died in battle, and no... absolutely no rats who fled in fear of the enemy! Rats!"

His voice was as high-pitched as ever... Hearing it in Xiahou Dun's ears was his only comfort in the face of such unfavorable news as the city's destruction and the death of his son...

But...at this time, as the commander of an army, he cannot be as reckless as Li Miao.

The city can no longer be defended. This is an indisputable fact. His two sons are dead. Could it be that the only remaining adopted son... could it be...

With a "gudong" sound, Xiahou Dun swallowed his saliva. Just when Li Miao was about to pick up his sword and fight in person, he grabbed Li Miao's hand and said, "Hannan..."

"Father..."

"Let's go! Let's go! Order... let all three armies retreat, retreat-" Xiahou Dun shouted towards Li Miao in a tone that left no room for doubt.

"But...but..."

"I know that you have an sworn feud with the traitors outside the city, but at this time, you can't be reckless...and you can't lose your life in vain!"

A magical scene happened, Xiahou Dun was still trying to persuade Li Miao earnestly. "If we continue to fight hard, we will be gone, you and I will be gone, the city will be gone, too -"

"Then we just...don't want this city? Did our two sworn brothers just...die in vain?"

Li Miao roared hysterically as usual, hoarse at the top of his lungs.

"At least I still have you... I still have a relative like you!" Xiahou Dun grabbed Li Miao's hand more tightly. He almost used his last strength and chanted loudly in an extremely painful mood: "God should also leave me a son... Ah... Ah... Let's go, let's go together, listen to me, listen to me!"

In Xiahou Dun's extremely moving words.

Li Miao was grateful in his heart, and his face showed helplessness and compromise, "Alas... Alas..." He sighed deeply and raised the military order again, "All... All people evacuate Chang'an, evacuate Chang'an... Retreat to Tongguan, retreat to Tongguan——"

That was Li Miao's voice.

The last fighting spirit of the Wei army soldiers disappeared in an instant... They retreated one after another, escaped from the north and south gates, and retreated to the direction of Tongguan.

The defeat was like a mountain collapsing...

As the saying goes-the defeat was like a mountain collapsing!

Let's talk about two things separately.

While the Wei army was fleeing in panic, the five thousand most elite Guan family soldiers led by Guan Yu quickly occupied Chang'an City and controlled various mansions, armories, and city gates.

Guan Yu was the last wave to enter the city...

As soon as he passed the gate, the deputy general Zhao Lei bowed and reported, "Second General, Chang'an City has been completely captured... The remnants of the Wei army fled through the gate and retreated to Tongguan. Please let me know whether to pursue them."

"No need!" Guan Yu seemed to have expected this battle situation. He said quite heroically, "Why chase the desperate enemy? Chang'an and Luoyang have been lost, and Tongguan, Wuguan, Hongnong and other places in between? They will surrender soon..."

These words were said by Guan Yu, but not what Guan Yu thought...

Because as early as when he listened to his son Guan Lin's instructions to attack Fangling and Shangyong, his son Guan Lin had talked about the significance of Chang'an and Luoyang.

This is not only the capital of the Han Dynasty, but also the place that strangles the throat of the region and cuts off Cao Cao's retreat.

More importantly, it is the people's hearts, the army's hearts, the people's hearts, and the will to fight!

Once Chang'an and Luoyang are lost, whether it is Guanzhong or the Central Plains, the foundation of Cao Wei has collapsed——

"Post a notice to reassure the people, search for the remnants, and open the warehouse to release grain——"

Following Guan Yu's order.

"Yes" Zhao Lei bowed and agreed, and then left.

At this time, Guan Yu looked around at the Eastern Capital Chang'an, and infinite emotion surged in his heart. He subconsciously reached out to stroke his beard, but he found that there was no beard to stroke...

"Haha..."

Immediately, Guan Yu was amused by his own strange action. He forgot that it was him, the beardless man, who defeated the blind Hou Dun...

He conquered the city, but he no longer had a beard...

But undoubtedly, he was more powerful and invincible without a beard——

Of course, this is not important.

He could still stroke his beard out of thin air, and then sighed: "As expected of Guan Mousheng's son, my son is so calculating, this battle is really fun——"

Yes... How can it not be fun?

Now the question is given to Cao Wei. How can Cao Cao, who is still in Bashan, come back to help?

No... come back to help a caterpillar, now for Cao Cao, the most urgent problem is how to break through these layers of defense and escape!
