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

The sky above Suanzao County is covered with clouds and the sun is hiding from the sun.

Outside the city gate of Suanzao County, there are dark clouds looming over the city...

Dozens of miles of joint forces surrounded this small town, tightly connected.

The yellow wind suddenly rose, revealing murderous intent. Even in the military camp outside the city, the torches in the Chinese army's tent also disappeared and appeared, and the entire light became dim.

And in this big tent...

"Isn't it a little too cruel?"

Finally, someone asked Guan Lin this question.

It’s Ling Tong…

Although he was full of humiliation to Zhang Liao during the battle with Zhang Liao, in fact, he was only following orders to severely destroy and undermine Zhang Liao's confidence and fighting spirit.

Ling Tong has never been a person who would impose personal grudges over the interests of his family and country.

However, this method of making the enemy unable to survive and unable to seek death seems to be a bit cruel and cruel.

It is precisely for this reason that Ling Tong was the first to raise this issue to Guan Lin.

At this time, under the warm yellow light, Guan Lin slowly put down the book in his hand, stepped on the bumpy ground, and walked slowly, as if deep in thought.

Was he cruel to Zhang Liao?

It's indeed a bit cruel!

But this was the only answer Guan Lin could think of when answering Zhang Liao's question.

With a faint "whoop", Guan Lin raised his head and faced the excited Ling Tong in the tent, "How could I not know that it was so cruel? But do I have any other ideas?"

"Master, what do you mean?" Ling Tong asked anxiously.

"It's very simple. If you were Zhang Liao and the city was destroyed? What would you do?"

"People are still in the city, but when the city is destroyed... people... people are dead!" In the first half of his answer, Ling Tong was still calm and composed, but when he reached the last half of his answer, Ling Tong suddenly became hesitant.

Guan Lin still asked, "What if my father comes to persuade Zhang Liao to surrender? Based on your understanding of him, will he surrender?"

"No!" Ling Tong could feel his hair standing on end. He furrowed his eyebrows and swallowed deeply, "I'd rather... I'd rather be broken than jade, no, not complete -"

"So..." Guan Lin muttered, "Whether I arrange for you to humiliate him or crush his confidence, my ultimate goal is to prevent this jade from breaking as much as possible, so that this tile can be preserved!"

Having said this, Guan Lin paused for a moment and continued to explain: "You all think that defeating Zhang Liao is to get rid of the nightmares and inner demons left over from your Xiaoyaojin days. However, you don't know that I did this to make Zhang Liao fall into a deep trap. Self-doubt made him lose his proud self and made him no longer the original person..."

"Zhang Liao is a man like my father. He is a loyal and righteous man. Jade can be broken but cannot change its whiteness. Bamboo can be burned but cannot destroy its knots. It is impossible for such a person to survive no matter what... Then, the only way... is Let him fall into that deep nightmare and have him forget who he is? Have deep doubts about himself!"

When Guan Lin said this, Ling Tong subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He gritted his teeth and pondered for a long time before continuing, "Will Zhang Liao, who doubts himself like this, surrender again?"

"Still not!" Guan Lin's answer was extremely sure, "But, there is one thing. Before he figures out who he is, and before he changes back to the Xiaoyaojin War God of the past, he will not commit suicide... What's more... "

"Besides what?" Ling Tong asked impatiently.

"Besides, we still have a trump card... to ensure that he lives!"

"What!"

"His comrades from Bingzhou..." Guan Lin squinted his eyes and said with some sadness and cruelty, "I can also threaten him with the lives of his comrades to make him live a bitter and difficult life... "

"But if you just survive? What's the point?"

"Now, I can't think that far..." Guan Lin spread his hands helplessly, "Let's let him live first. Later, there will be my father and my uncle. If it doesn't work... there will be Cao Cao! There is always someone who can persuade him. Got him!"

Cao Cao——

When these two words were spoken, Ling Tong's mood quickly changed from extremely complicated to huge surprise.

Guan Lin saw his doubts, but smiled faintly, and continued, "We can't save everything. After my father captures Cao Cao, he can ask Cao Cao to help us persuade him to surrender..."

Uh... These words surprised Ling Tong even more.

No, this is no longer surprise, but astonishment!

Then here comes the problem.

According to what Mr. Yunqi said, Cao Cao will be captured by General Guan——

…

…

The words are divided into two parts.

At the foot of Lishan Mountain, the hot air balloon finally inflated and the kerosene tank was filled with fish oil.

Cao Cao recognized that this was refined fish oil. After setting up a workshop for Ma Jun in the past, he improved the refining technology and completed the refining of this fish oil. In the words of his son-in-law Ma Jun, this essential oil has extremely strong continuous combustion and can be supplied. A long-distance flight, that is to say, starting from the foot of Mount Li, flying across the Wei River, and arriving at the border of Bingzhou, is completely possible.

And once they arrive in Bingzhou, their good brother Xiahou Dun must have made appropriate arrangements to support them at the border...

He, Cao Cao, will also escape.

No, how could this be an escape? This is clearly a dragon entering the rivers and seas, a tiger entering the mountains and forests, and the beginning of the Wei Dynasty's comeback against the wind.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao's eyes narrowed again.

Seeing the shriveled ball sac becoming more and more bulging and starting to take off, and seeing the kerosene jars burning, the flying ball soldier named "Li Qiu" skillfully placed the food and spare kerosene jars in the rattan basket. Inside.

After doing this, he had already begun to greet Cao Cao, "Your Majesty, you can come up!"

Looking at the huge sphere, Cao Cao was still a little hesitant. After all, it was the first time he met the flying ball soldiers, and they were flying in the sky. This made him inevitably feel nervous and worried.

Guan Xing continued, "Your Majesty, the target of the hot air balloon is too big and will be discovered by the enemy soon. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time..."

As he chanted these words, Cao Cao stepped forward, but as he turned over and entered the rattan basket, he asked a final question, "When Yuan Rang asked you to pick up the orphan, what else did he mention?"

Is this... the final test?

Following Cao Cao's question, Guan Xing thought for a moment, and then quickly answered, "General Xiahou mentioned that if the king is suspicious, he will inform him that it was General Roupiao who had the full authority to arrange it..."

Sure enough, when the four words "General Meupiao" were chanted, "Hahahaha..." Cao Cao laughed. With this laughter, all the doubts in his heart were swept away, and there was no hesitation at all.

"Grand sacrificial wine, saint, hag, Cheng Wu, Cheng Yan, come up..."

Cao Cao didn't even arrange for others...

It was Zhang Wei and Cheng Wu. They quickly ordered their ghost soldiers and personal guards, "Disband on the spot, find ways to unite the states, and after the reunion, each of you will make a great contribution!"

"promise…"

There was some despair, and some helpless voices sounded.

It was only then that many ghost soldiers and soldiers realized that they had no part in the king's escape plan...

After arranging these, Zhang Wei, Zhang Qiying, Zhang Yulan, Cheng Wu, and Cheng Yan got on the fly ball, plus the original Guan Xing and a deputy in the fly ball basket, there were exactly seven people, and this was also the limit of the fly ball.

"Your Majesty? Can you take off..."

"Walk--"

Following Guan Xing's last question and Cao Cao's answer, Guan Xing skillfully took out the dagger and cut the three ropes directly.

Originally, the cable was pulling, and although the flying ball wanted to fly, it was caught. But as soon as the rope was broken, the entire balloon began to let itself go, slowly rising into the sky.

Everyone witnessed the flying ball, waved to the people in the rattan basket, and shouted "Congratulations, your Majesty!"

But soon, they lowered their heads again, and there was silence again.

It seems that they have realized that now...the king is safe, but they have an unknown road ahead and an uncertain future——

…

…

Zhang Liao has lost six battles.

This is not terrible...the so-called victory or defeat is a common thing for military strategists.

But the terrible thing is that no one can see that Zhang Liao has any hope of victory among such "unfair" fighters.

There is no hope, this is the scariest thing!

In Suanzao County, this last Wei army was already in a low mood and had low morale.

Zhang Liao walked on the street in a daze, holding the heavy and indestructible crescent halberd.

"tread…"

"tread…"

"tread…"

Zhang Liao's heavy steps left behind a lonely figure and an empty soul.

"General, it's not your fault..." Gao Rou stared at Zhang Liao. He knew that Zhang Liao had tried his best, but... "General, you also feel that the magic weapon and armor in the hands of the enemy general are invulnerable and can cut iron like clay. Don't say it is. General, even if Lu Bu and Lu Feng came here in the past, they are definitely no match for these Han troops!"

"General, did you also notice that the enemy generals stepped on something like a stirrup when driving their horses? The general's equestrian skills were far superior to them, but because of this stirrup, their balance when driving their horses was actually reversed. It's more than the general! Even if the general loses... he loses to these things!"

Gao Rou's words made Zhang Liao pause, and he laughed at himself: "I know all this, but losing means losing. These people used to be my defeated generals, but now...because of Guan Lin, I am no longer these defeated generals." opponent!”

Zhang Liao's voice always has a hint of desolation, like a hero in his twilight years.

"General Wenyuan..." Gao Rou said hoarsely.

Zhang Liao was still laughing at himself, "Wen Hui, issue a military order for me and open the city gate. If anyone wants to surrender, let them out and surrender...and..."

Having said this, Zhang Liao paused for a moment, and then continued, "Wen Hui, you should also surrender. I don't blame you, and the Wei Dynasty will not blame you, but I, Zhang Liao, am incompetent, so I'm sorry for you!"

this…

Following Zhang Liao's lonely voice, he held the crescent halberd and moved forward step by step, his back becoming even more desolate.

That night, the city gate of Suanzao County opened.

Many soldiers have already left the city to surrender...

The night falls and the autumn wind blows, but the lobby of the county office in Suanzao County is still brightly lit.

A soldier tiptoed into the lobby and was slightly startled when he looked at the wine jars on the floor.

But at this moment, Zhang Liao turned over on the big chair with a "whisper", and the wine jar in his hand fell to the ground with a "bang" sound.

But under this violent sound, Zhang Liao was still drunk and unconscious.

The soldier quickly took off the cloak from the wooden stand, put it on Zhang Liao, and then bowed solemnly.

"I, Wu Laoliu, came from the same hometown as the general and was promoted to be a bodyguard by the general. It has been nearly twenty years now. However, Zhang Zhong, Li Yong, Zhao Gang, Wang Meng, Guo Rui... all of them from the same hometown surrendered. I and I They all still have families, so they can't die here, and they can't follow the general! I'm sorry to the general, and... also..."

When he said this... the guard named Wu Laoliu was in tears. He could only bang his head on the ground to express his inner guilt for the general.

"Good wine, good wine..."

"Yunchang, you surrendered to Han but not Cao. I'll toast you with this bowl...for your loyalty!"

"Gongming, we all come from Bingzhou. We rose together with Yunchang!"

Zhang Liao turned over, as if he was dreaming back to the past, dreaming back to the days when the three brothers from Bingzhou drank and ate meat together in Cao's camp.

The guard named Wu Laoliu gritted his teeth. He did not disturb Zhang Liao, but bowed again, then resolutely turned around and left the hall.

As his figure disappeared, Zhang Liao's eyes opened, his face full of guilt. He was pretending to be drunk just now.

"Let's go..."

"Surrender, so be it, so be it——"

Muttering, he picked up the wine jar from the ground and took a big sip.

One hundred thousand Bingzhou wolf riders and several county commanders were brought to Luoyang by Ding Yuan from Bingzhou.

Afterwards, Lu Bu killed Ding Yuan and took the Bingzhou wolf riders to join Dong Zhuo. At that moment, Zhang Liao also questioned Lu Bu's decision.

But due to the situation, when the remaining Bingzhou wolf riders were finally handed over to him, he felt great pressure and responsibility.

Bingzhou? What is that place!

In the first year of Guanghe, the bank of Wula Mountain collapsed, and Wuhuan and Xianbei invaded Bingzhou...

Yanmen County was flooded with blood overnight, and countless people died tragically. From that time on, he led his men to fight with Lu Fengxian along the bank of Wula Mountain and in front of Yanmen Pass. They both became famous in one battle, but they could not stop the nine out of ten houses in Bingzhou from being destroyed!

These Bingzhou wolf riders... are the last species of that land and that era——

"Guan Lin... Guan Lin, you succeeded. You succeeded in forcing my Bingzhou men to surrender. You are powerful, and your methods are as sharp as ever, but you... but you did a good job in this matter, and did it right..."

At this point, Zhang Liao took another sip, and then his eyes were full of brilliance. He continued, but his voice became low and heavy.

"But Guan Lin, your plan is going to fail. You think that if the men of Bingzhou surrender, I will surrender, but you are wrong, wrong... Although I, Zhang Liao, am a surrendered general of the Wei Dynasty, I am definitely not a double-faced person... The king has great favor and respect for me, your plan is going to fail."

It is not known whether it is drunken mumbling or Zhang Liao's words that have been in his heart for a long, long time.

That night, Zhang Liao muttered to himself. He drank a lot and said a lot.

Gradually, he got drunk, drunk, really drunk to the point of unconsciousness.

…

…

Except for Cao Cao, the accompanying Zhang Wei, Zhang Qiying, Zhang Yulan, Cheng Wu, and Cheng Yan, they were all riding a flying ball for the first time.

Since the flying ball took off, they felt dizzy.

In the air, the wind was whistling so hard that they felt their eardrums hurt. When they looked down, the more than a thousand soldiers at the foot of Mount Li had become small dots. Even... the flying ball flew higher and higher, and even Mount Li, even the Wei River, and even all the mountains, rivers, and passes in Guanzhong became smaller and smaller.

Perhaps because King Wei Cao was right beside them, they gritted their teeth and tried to suppress their almost frightened mood, but their faces turned pale involuntarily, especially Zhang Qiying and Zhang Yulan, because they were women... the strong wind blowing towards their bodies made them tremble.

Zhang Qiying couldn't help asking Zhang Yulan, "Aunt, can this... this flying ball really fly back?"

Zhang Yulan nodded subconsciously, "We should believe King Wei, believe this... young general of the flying ball camp..."

Believe it?

It was the two words "believe" that made Zhang Qiying shut up.

But soon... "A-choo" Zhang Qiying sneezed again, it was so cold... really so cold.

Guan Xing noticed the two women at this time, and he reminded them: "There is a blanket in this rattan basket, your Majesty, and everyone else... you might as well put on this blanket, and you won't be cold."

Zhang Qiying and Zhang Yulan couldn't stand the cold, so they found a blanket and curled up in the rattan basket...

But through the gap, Zhang Qiying looked down, it was so high... She felt that she was not only cold, but also afraid of heights. She couldn't help but tremblingly asked: "We... we won't fall down!"

Guan Xing was very calm. He held the compass in one hand to identify the direction, and said, "Believe me, I am trained. There is still some distance from here to Bingzhou. You might as well take a rest. When you open your eyes... you will probably have arrived in Bingzhou!"

Guan Xing said it very easily...

Including Cao Cao, let alone taking a rest, they didn't dare to close their eyes. After all, flying in this sky... inevitably makes people nervous and scared.

Even Cheng Wu and Cheng Yan were closely watching their feet, they wanted to make sure...the flight route was correct.

However...as the flying ball flew higher and higher, passing through the clouds...how could they see the situation under their feet clearly? For a quarter of an hour, they couldn't even see the east, south, west and north clearly.

In this case, they could only hope for the compass in the hand of "Li Qiu".

Cao Cao was also very alert at first, but with the strong wind everywhere, he couldn't stand it, especially his forehead, which was slightly painful because of the wind.

So, he couldn't help but find a blanket, wrapped his body in it, and buried his head in the rattan basket.

The time of flying is always boring...

Because of the airflow and strong wind, people rarely talked to each other. After a long time, the days of running around and fleeing... inevitably made Cao Cao sleepy.

Gradually, gradually, he fell asleep...

I don't know if he was too tired? Or did he dream at night when he thought about it during the day?

Cao Cao actually had a very long dream.

He dreamed that at the end of the Han Dynasty, the royal family was in ruins, the land was desolate, and the people were miserable;

He dreamed of the young man from Qiao County suddenly falling in the sky;

He dreamed that Emperor Huan Ling was licentious, officials were bribing, and powerful men were everywhere;

He dreamed of himself. He was clever when he was young, allowed chivalry to be debauched, promoted filial piety and integrity into official positions, upheld the right path, beat the powerful with five-colored sticks, punished the people with ten crimes and returned the sky to the people, destroyed evil temples, eliminated prostitution and sacrificed the stolen goods, it can be said that - Show your talents for the first time!

He dreamed that he bluntly remonstrated with Dong Zhuo to enter the capital, and that he Chen Liu raised troops to destroy the traitors, collected the Yellow Turbans, and organized the remnants of the party...

He dreamed that he was at war with his old friend Yuan Shao. He dreamed of Zhang Xiu's surrender and Sun Bofu's violent death. He dreamed of recruiting strong generals in Xuzhou...

He dreamed of fighting in Guandu, where he devised a clever plan to defeat the strong with the weak, attacked Wuchao, and took the lead to break the city and establish a state.

He dreamed that his cavalry defeated the remnant party, captured all four states, marched thousands of miles to Wuhuan to attack the magic army, and that the famous general made a great contribution by beheading Ta Dun.

He dreamed... He was high-spirited, Wei Wu whipped his whip, looked at the nine counties of Jingxiang in the distance, crossed the river south, the east wind blew, the war drums beat, the flames burned... The iron rope connected the river... Establishing ambition to dominate, it was finally a dream of Huangliang.

Then he went to the Wei River alone, cut off his beard and robe, and fought on the other side of the river;

Then Chencang entered, defeated the army and beheaded the generals, and the tigers and leopards defeated Xiliang;

It was the Jingxiang battlefield, and three of the five good generals went out to fight against Yunchang;

This is the battlefield in Hanzhong. The army has changed its formation...the horse has made a mistake and the good general has suffered...

He was even thinking in his dream, what is a hero?

——A heroic husband has great ambitions, a good plan, the opportunity to contain the universe, and the ambition to swallow up the world!

He, Cao Cao, is a hero!

It's just a hero who lost again, just like the three battles against Lu Bu, just like the one beside Red Cliff, just like the bank of the Wei River, just like the Xiangfan battlefield...

A hero is never defeated by the word "lose".

As long as that fighting spirit remains, we can fight on the battlefield again——

What's more, he is Cao Cao!

When I was young, I wished to conquer all directions, expand the territory and open up new territories, become a general who conquered the West, and enter the temple a hundred years later——

Who would have thought that later he would build a high platform, serve as generals and become prime ministers, dominate the Jiuzhou, and Jiuxi would be named the King of Wei——

He is a hero, the King of Wei, and the King of Wei who wants to unify the mountains and rivers.

As long as there is still one breath left, as long as he can return to his homeland, the sailing of Wei Wu's hegemony will not stop, and the majesty of Wei Wu's hegemony will surely come again...

He, Cao Cao, will take back everything he lost from Liu Bei, just like he did after repeated failures in the past.

"Ha ha ha ha…"

Thinking of this, even if he was talking in his sleep, Cao Cao suddenly laughed happily.

And this laughter not only woke him up, but also startled all the people in the rattan basket who were sleeping or pretending to be asleep...

At this time, the sky was completely dark...

No one could distinguish the north, south, east, and west, and in the chaos, only the stars in the sky were twinkling, seeming to guide the direction of Cao Cao and his subordinates.

"arrive--"

At this moment, Guan Xing opened his mouth and chanted.

And with the sound of "arrived", Guan Xing seemed quite excited.

On the other hand, Cao Cao and his subordinates stood up quickly, scratching the fence of the rattan basket and looking down.

This is a plain between mountains, somewhat high from the ground, and Bingzhou is mountainous... This is in line with Bingzhou's topography.

And as the flying ball slowly fell.

Cao Cao could already see the torches on the flat plain...

Those were the torches surrounding the city, as if they were guiding the direction where the flying ball would fall.

The fly ball continues to sink...

Gradually, Cao Cao could hear the cheers on the ground, as if every soldier who greeted him had extremely high morale and high spirits.

Their excited shouts grew louder and louder...

This also made Cao Cao feel excited.

——"Are they celebrating Gu's return?" 』

——"Haha, sure enough, Gu's guess is right. As long as Gu comes back, the majesty of Wei Wu's hegemony will definitely come again!" 』
