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

Chapter 279: This is Soochow, the autumn of life and death is critical!

In Hefei City, in the Dongwu camp, Sun Quan is sitting high in command, and the generals are standing tall, ready to go.

After taking the city of Hefei, when Sun Quan and Xiaoyaojin were defeated, he was completely different from the other two. He was much more energetic and more stable and dignified.

The reason…

This is because of confidence!

The war in Soochow relied on water, and the Northern Expedition must also rely on water.

Therefore, there are theoretically three waterways in the Northern Expedition, namely the Zhongdu River, the Han River, and the Ruxu River...

Among them, Zhongdu Water cannot be navigable all year round because it is greatly affected by the seasons;

The Han River can only be used because it needs to occupy Xiangyang. It happened that the main attacker of Xiangfan was Guan Yu of Jingzhou;

As a result, the only water battle route left for the Soochow Army to go north was Ruxushui.

The Ruxu River passes through Chaoshui Lake to the north, and then flows into the Huaihe River through Ferishui River. Therefore, as long as Hefei is occupied, the Soochow Navy can enter the Huaihe River from the Yangtze River during high water periods. This will not only unleash the power of the navy, but also ensure logistics.

To put it simply, Sun Quan, who now occupies Hefei, has only one purpose - to drag through the dry season and survive the high water period.

At that time, the offense and defense of Soochow and Cao Wei will change!

at this time…

A spy rushed in, "Report——! Cao Cao sent someone to arrange a battle. In three days, he will swim in Feishui, hoping to have a showdown with the lord!"

"Feishui? Midstream?" Sun Quan pondered for a moment, then softly said: "It is impossible to sail a boat in the current Feishui. Cao Cao wants to fight on land alone!"

Gan Ning took a step forward, his face was excited, and the corner of his mouth curled up, "Land battles are land battles. In the past, a hundred cavalry were enough to rob Cao's camp and make them run away. Now that Cao's thieves dare to fight, the last general Please lead an army of 5,000 people and severely defeat the enemy army, so that the traitor Cao can see that our Soochow army is not only powerful in naval warfare, but also has no fear of his northern soldiers and horses in foot combat!"

Xu Sheng on the side looked calmer, "This is already Cao Cao's third battle. If we refuse again, people from Jiangdong will think that we are afraid of Cao Cao and will shake the morale of the army. Therefore...this battle will not be considered by the generals." , we can no longer hide, it’s time to fight! The last general invites you to fight!"

Gan Ning and Xu Sheng made such statements...

Immediately, Jiang Qin, Ling Tong, Zhou Tai, Han Dang and other generals expressed their stance.

"The last general invites you to fight!"

"The last general invites you to fight!"

"I heard that Guan Yu of Xiangfan and Guan Lin of Jiangxia have both won. Soochow is the only one left. The last general also wants to fight..." It seems that all the generals want to fight this battle.

This was the first time since Sun Quan arrived in Hefei that all his generals were so full.

It seems that the news of the battle report between Xiangfan and Jiangxia deeply tugs at the heart of every Soochow general.

So if the Guan family and his son can do it, can they achieve great success?

how?

They Soochow can only do nothing?

However, what Sun Quan felt was that he couldn't help himself.

It stands to reason.

Soochow was the party that had captured Hefei before, and they were the party with higher morale. If they repeatedly avoided fighting, it would be detrimental to their morale. What's more, if their morale was repeatedly worn down by Cao Cao, in the end Cao Cao would only have to cut off Hefei and Ruxu. Without the connection and supplies to the port, then... Hefei would become an isolated city.

This battle is impossible without fighting!

call…

Sun Quan let out a long breath and said, "Tell Cao Jun's envoy that Gu will accept the battle in three days! In the past, 30,000 Gu in Chibi could defeat Cao's 800,000 troops. Now, Cao's army comes uninvited, only 100,000." , then let me, the descendants of Jiangdong, hunt in Huainan again!"

"Lord Mingjian——"

"Lord Mingjian——"

All the soldiers shouted in unison.

After that, Sun Quan made some arrangements. In this battle, Gan Ning led the left army, Han Dang led the right army, and Xu Sheng took charge of the central army. A total of 30,000 troops were sent out. Later, Ling Tong and Jiang Qin each led 10,000 troops to support at any time!

Sun Quan's memory can be regarded as improved. He himself did not go to the place where the battle was held in the middle of the river. How did Hefei City be defeated? Sun Quan was still a little "forced" in his heart!

This time, he was escorted by Zhou Tai, and together they were in charge of Hefei City.

Such an arrangement also made all the soldiers let out a long sigh of relief...

The meeting dispersed, and the generals went to temporarily lead their own troops.

Sun Quan's face was not pretty. He looked anxiously at the bright sun in the sky through the window.

Gu Yong walked out from behind the curtain. He looked at Sun Quan's face and immediately noticed something. He cupped his hands and said, "Does Marquis Wu have concerns about the battle in three days?"

"call--"

Sun Quan just let out a long sigh.

Gu Yong continued, "The Marquis of Wu is probably not afraid of Cao Cao, but... he is worried about Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, right?"

After saying this, Sun Quan turned his eyes to Gu Yong. He sighed and said softly: "As expected of Mr. Gu... he can always guess Gu Yong's thoughts..."

At this point, Sun Quan sighed, and raised a leisurely and self-deprecating smile on his lips, "Gu and the Jiangdong children have passed through the Hefei test. It seems that the shame of Xiaoyaojin has been washed away, but in fact, as long as that Zhang Liao is still here, this shame will always exist, and this fear from the inside out will always exist..."

"The soldiers asked for battle one by one, and the battle was high-spirited, but they never knew that Cao Cao would definitely send Zhang Liao to fight. When his Jiangdong disciples heard that their opponent was Zhang Liao, what would they think in their hearts? Can they not be timid on the battlefield?"

Sun Quan didn't know how to lead an army, but he understood people's hearts!

Xiaoyaojin’s eight hundred to one hundred thousand!

The children of Jiangdong stopped crying. This is not just talk. The names of Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan are deeply embedded in the hearts of all Jiangdong children!

It seems that Sun Quan's worries are not unnecessary.

but…

"If this is what Marquis Wu is worried about, then I have a solution here?" Gu Yong blinked.

"Can Mr. Gu figure it out?" Sun Quan opened his eyes wide.

"The Governor of Lu sent Luo Tong to bring a letter, which mentioned the great victory in Jiangxia. Just now, news of the great victory of Guan Yu in Xiangfan came. And these two great victories used one thing..."

"What?"

"My Lord, please read the letter from the Governor first." Gu Yong unfolded the letter and handed it to Sun Quan.

Sun Quan quickly took it and read the words on it carefully. When he saw the key point, he couldn't help but be surprised.

"Heart-protecting bronze mirror? Light? How can a small bronze mirror have such an effect? ​​Can it severely damage Cao's army twice?"

Gu Yong reminded: "Luo Tong is still waiting outside for the master's summons..."

Sun Quan waved his hand quickly: "Pass it, pass it now -"

…

…

At the same time, Cao Jun's tent was outside Shouchun City.

Two scouts entered Cao Cao's military tent under the leadership of Xu Chu. Both of them reported the same thing. To be precise, they were two defeats in Xiangfan and Jiangxia.

A scout handed over his hand: "General Yu said that the first battle was unfavorable and he felt ashamed of the Prime Minister, but... the cause of the defeat needs to be reported to the Prime Minister. We must not let the Prime Minister be plotted by this bronze mirror... We can't use our strength!"

Another scout also handed over his hand, "General Xu also meant the same thing. If his skills are inferior to others, General Xu will admit it. However, this is not because his skills are inferior to others, but because Guan Yu used this bronze mirror to blind our soldiers with the beam of light. I What an injustice it is for the soldiers to be defeated!"

Cao Cao asked the two scouts to stand up. There was shock in his eyes, but also deep relief after knowing this, "Yun Chang has learned how to borrow foreign objects. He has improved a lot in the past few years. He won't lose this battle." injustice!"

Speaking of this, Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and sighed: "I didn't expect that a small bronze mirror would cost me tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Yun Chang was determined to be martial and couldn't do this, so... Is it Guan Lin of the Guan family who discovered that this bronze mirror can reflect light?"

When he said the name "Guan Lin", Cao Cao was still a little stumbled. It seemed that the name was not deep in his heart.

Cheng Yu, who was on the sidelines, quickly explained, "It's Guan Lin, Guan Yunqi, Guan Yu's fourth son..."

"Haha, the tiger father has no dog son. I remembered it. When I assassinated Dong Zhuo, it was because a piece of bronze mirror reflected the sharp edge of the Seven-Star Sword, which made Dong Zhuo wary. It turns out that the bronze mirror can still be used in this way. Hahahaha, why didn’t I think of——"

Cao Cao smiled and said, "I will embroider the name Guan Lin on Gu's sleeve. I will remember him all the time!"

ah…

Cheng Yu was startled.

You know, there are not many names embroidered on Cao Cao's sleeves, including Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide. This is because after Guan Yu killed Yan Liang and Wen Chou, he mentioned that his third brother Zhang Fei was superior in martial arts and could win the battle among thousands of troops. The general's head is like searching a bag to retrieve something.

In order to remember him and out of fear, Cao Cao had it tattooed on his sleeve.

Later, after Guan Yu passed five levels and killed six generals, Cao Cao tattooed Guan Yu's name on his sleeve. This was not fear, but friendship!

Later, Cao Cao only had Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi's name embroidered on his sleeves after experiencing the tragedy of cutting off his beard and abandoning his robe.

These names...are all resounding existences!

But now...Guan Lin's name!

Cheng Yu was a little surprised. In his memory, the prime minister had never valued a young man of his age so much.

——Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Ma Chao, Guan Lin...

Did the Prime Minister overestimate him?

Cao Cao saw through what Cheng Yu was thinking at a glance, "Zhongde doesn't need to figure it out. Gu wrote down Guan Lin's name for no other reason than because this bronze mirror made Gu figure something out!" "

"Haha, whoever made Zihe die, who made Zixiao faint, who let the tiger and leopard cavalry be buried in the Sunset Valley, who could create magical weapons, who once again muddied the whole situation in Xiangfan, who made the lonely 'iron wall', the lonely 'Manfu Jun' also secretly killed Huang Laoxie, who Gu always dreamed about, and it was none other than him, haha... Gu finally found him!"

this…

Cheng Yu was startled, and then he understood.

--"I see! 』

Before Cheng Yu could think further, Cao Cao's voice came out again.

"Tell Yu Jin not to underestimate this boy... His opponent is Huang Laoxie, who has stirred up the changes in Xiangfan."

Cao Cao's tone became more solemn, "Let him deal with this son carefully. If he can defeat this son, he will be the first contributor to this southern expedition. Whatever he wants, Gufeng will give him!"

Speaking of which…

Cao Cao changed the topic, "Haha", he smiled while looking at the urgent message sent by Yu Jin and Xu Huang, and then said: "What a bronze mirror. Does this kid think that Gu will give in because of a bronze mirror? Chuan Gu The imperial edict ordered the entire Shouchun City to collect bronze mirrors and let all the soldiers hang them on their bodies... I want to use his Guan Lin method to return it to the body of the Soochow Blue Eyes! He can use this bronze mirror, and I can also use it - —”

As soon as this statement came out...

Cheng Yu thought to himself.

——"The prime minister also wants to use a bronze mirror, and also uses the light reflected by this bronze mirror... to fight Soochow?" 』

Thinking of this, Cheng Yu quickly handed over his hand, "I will make arrangements now!"

Cao Cao looked around at his advisers. Many of them looked surprised, as if they still didn't know how this bronze mirror could defeat the enemy!

On the other hand, Sima Yi was the only one who was clicking his tongue in wonder, as if he had understood.

"It's gone!"

Cao Cao left a cold message and went out first... As he walked, he told Xu Chu, "Huhou, please find a bronze mirror for me immediately. I want to try it myself -"

All of a sudden, all the counselors filed out, and Sima Yi thought about it, staying at the end and going out...

Cao Zhi also deliberately stayed at the end.

"Did Zhongda think of something?" Cao Zhi asked Sima Yi.

ah…

Sima Yi did not expect that Cao Zhi would take the initiative to talk to him, so he asked, "Master Zijian is asking me?"

"What else?" Cao Zhi showed his free and easy attitude, "Although my second brother and I are fighting for an important thing, I know clearly that if the great Wei Dynasty is gone, then what's the point of fighting for it? "

call…

Is it the position of prince?

Sima Yi thought so, but how did he know that Cao Zhi wanted to fight for his sister Zhen!

Sima Yi took a long breath, raised his hand to Cao Zhi, and said with emotion: "To be honest, Mr. Zijian, I was wondering, if the prime minister received the urgent messages from the two generals Yu Jin and Xu Huang, would Sun Quan also receive the urgent messages from Xiangfan battlefield and Jiangxia?" Where’s the urgent item?”

this…

Cao Zhi was stunned for a moment, "What does Zhongda mean?"

"I was thinking." Sima Yi's eyes were dark, "If the prime minister plans to use this bronze mirror to retaliate against the enemy in the battle three days later, then Soochow will also plan to imitate the great victories of Jiangxia and Xiangfan and try to use this bronze mirror to retaliate." Mirror, how about using this light?"

At this time, Cao Zhi realized the seriousness of the problem.

He grabbed Sima Yi's hand.

"Now, you come with me to see father -"

…

…

In Soochow, Ye City was built.

"how so--"

After receiving the urgent report from Jiaozhou, Zhuge Jin staggered with both hands and fell in front of the desk. He stood up holding the desk and scanned the urgent report from Jiaozhou again.

He couldn't help but exhale again.

"how so?"

yes…

how so? Why did Lu Xun counterattack Cangwu County in Jiaozhou for no reason... and had already conquered Cangwu County.

Nanhai County has also surrendered...

Jiaozhou, which Soochow finally conquered, disappeared overnight!

besides…

What about Lu Xun? Why did he collude with the Jiaozhou scholar family?

Why was General Lu Meng also captured by him?

this? What happened?

Zhuge Jin looked at the bamboo slips in his hand at a loss. His hands could not help but tremble, shaking violently.

The key problem is that he can't figure it out...

He had clearly given General Lu Meng's letter to Wu Hou, and Zhuge Jin had read it.

It is a letter excusing Lu Xun, with sincere words and exquisite words...

The expression on Marquis Wu's face and the edict issued by Marquis Wu later also showed that Lu Xun was not guilty... This matter has been reduced from a big deal to a trivial matter... But... But...

"In the end what happened--"

With a "bang" sound, Zhuge Jin slammed his hands on the table. It was rare that this usually gentle and elegant Zhong Sima had an extremely sad expression.

But after only a moment of sadness, Zhuge Jin suddenly thought of something, and he quickly opened a map.

He stared closely at the cities on the map.

Although I don’t know the reason!

But now... now that Lu Xun has surrendered to Jiaozhou, then... if Cangwu and Nanhai are captured, what will happen to him next?

Zhuge Jin's fingers reached "Longchuan" at the junction of Jiaozhou and Soochow, reached "Luling" above, and reached Yuzhang further up, followed by Yuhang, Danyang, Wujun, and Jian. Karma!

When Zhuge Jin's hand reached Jianye, his whole fingers were trembling.

Lu Xun has 30,000 soldiers...

This is not the point.

The point is that the timing of Lu Xun's "rebellion" was really perfect!

Now that Sun Quan's 70,000 troops have all marched north to Hefei to compete with Cao Cao for Huainan, the south is extremely empty.

In other words, after Lu Meng was defeated, the entire south...such as Longchuan, Luling, Yuzhang, Yuhang...even Wu County, and even Jianye, these cities were almost empty cities, with only a few thousand defenders!

Most of the soldiers in Lu Xun's hands came from Shanyue, and they fought bravely... Lu Xun also had the style of a general.

If he leads the Lu family army and the Jiaozhou soldiers all the way north, then...then Soochow...then the Marquis of Wu will...have no roots!

When thinking of this, big beads of sweat were falling down drop by drop on Zhuge Jin's forehead...

His whole body trembled, and his whole body became extremely creepy.

At this moment, his most intuitive feeling was one sentence - life is in danger!

"Report..."

At this moment, a scout broke into the tent and said, "General Lu Meng's third son, Lu Mu, is back. He is staying with Zhang Zhao... He said that he brought Lu Xun's words, and that if the master wanted to move a member of the Lu family, Clan members, then Lu Xun stabbed Lu Meng and massacred a hundred people in Soochow. If a hundred people of the Lu family were killed, then..."

"Gudong..."

While listening to the scout's words, Zhuge Jin swallowed hard. The sweat on his forehead was like a broken chain of beads, and the muscles all over his body seemed to be tense and stiff, and he no longer felt anything.

"Quickly...quickly..." His tone was stumbling: "Take me to see Lu Mu. This matter...this matter needs...to be reported to Marquis Wu immediately!"

Thinking of this, Zhuge Jin hurriedly stepped out, but just after taking a few steps, Zhuge Jin stopped again. He shook his head violently, as if he couldn't make up his mind.

"But Hefei...but Hefei, oh...the war in Hefei is about to break out! At this time, the lord...how can we distract him, oh, he can't be distracted, let alone divide his troops!"

At this moment, Zhuge Jin thought of the worst case scenario, which was that Lu Xun from the south was coming from the north and all the cities were retreating and falling!

At the same time, to the north...Hefei was defeated!

"Gudong——"

Zhuge Jin swallowed hard again.

He couldn't help but murmur:

——"My lord, my lord, Hefei...can't be defeated now!" You can’t afford to lose! If we lose...even a small defeat, Soochow will...be gone! 』

Zhuge Jin's melancholy mood at this moment corresponded to one sentence - there is no greater sorrow than death!

…

…

It's a clear night, the moon is like water, and the city of Anlu, an important military town north of Jiangxia, is covered with frost.

The weather is weird, it's extremely cold outside in the early morning, but the temperature can rise again in the middle of the day...

It is said to be winter, but except for the dry season caused by dryness and the snowfall some time ago, it seems to be no different from autumn.

At this moment, in the evening... there is a side room in the Anlu City Government Office.

The barbecue was sizzling on the stove, and the warm wine was steaming. Guan Lin picked up a piece of barbecue for Zhu Ling and put it on his plate.

"General Zhu is here, I am so happy for this junior... No, this is the highest courtesy for this junior!"

ah…

——"The highest etiquette?" 』

Zhu Ling looked at the meat on the plate with a surprised look on his face, "It turns out that the highest etiquette here, Master Yunqi, is barbecue!"

"No...this is not an ordinary barbecue, but beef!" Guan Lin squinted and said seriously: "I'm not like Cao Cao. Xu You came and deliberately ran out to see him without wearing shoes. I'm not playing tricks here. of…"

Guan Lin added another piece of roast beef to Zhu Ling's plate.

He solemnly said:

"If you eat my beef, you will be my Guan Lin's from now on!"

Zhu Ling looked at the young man in front of him in astonishment. He felt that...this Fourth Young Master Guan seemed to be a bit childish, right? Somewhat against the rules, right?

But think about it, who among the well-behaved people would tinker with a mirror?

Who would be called a "rebellious son" if he obeys the rules?

Immediately, Zhu Ling took a bite of beef and sighed: "Master Yunqi always eats beef?"

"Not entirely..." Guan Lin spread his hands, "My father is very strict. Whenever he goes on an expedition, he can only eat a few. Besides... we big men have a clear policy that we are not allowed to eat beef. If there is no reason to kill cows, He’s going to jail!”

--"you know too? 』

Zhu Ling muttered in his heart...

I never thought that Guan Lin chirped and then said: "However, the people north of Jiangxia conquered Cao Wei. I thought about it. The cattle here grew up eating Cao Wei's grass. Now they must be grown up. They are all rebellious, don’t look at them now that I have taken care of them, they are so obedient, they might stab me behind my back someday, so... to avoid future trouble, I’d better kill them and eat them!”

Guan Lin said this...

Zhu Ling suddenly felt a chill on his back, like a light on his back.

——‘Is he talking about cows? 』

At this time, Guan Lin's words came out again.

"Ahem...Okay, General Zhu, now you have eaten my beef, then we are brothers in the trenches. Then...let's not beat around the bush and get down to business!"

Guan Lin's tone became more meticulous, "Back then, Xu You defected to Cao Cao and told Yuan Shao about Wuchao, where Yuan Shao's grain garrison was. That's how Wuchao was burned down and Guandu was defeated... Now, General Zhu, as the Yujin garrison The grain officer must also know where the Yu Forbidden Army stores grain? My guess is that it’s not Hengshan where Nanyang County is stationed, right?"

hiss…

Zhu Ling was surprised by Guan Lin's words.

He slowly took out a defense plan for hoarding food from his arms, unfolded it, and asked softly:

"How did Mr. Guan know? The place to store grain is not in Hengshan!"

"Generally, the places where large armies are stationed are not the real places to store food." Guan Lin squinted his eyes, "General Zhu, please don't lie... tell me, where is it?"

"Whether this junior can follow the example of Guandu and win the battle in Jiangxia depends entirely on General Zhu Ling's intelligence!"

"General Zhu Ling, what you say affects the entire Jingzhou battlefield and Huainan battlefield. General, please think twice before answering!"

What Guan Lin said is:

——It means a lot!
