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

As everyone knows.

"Longzhong Dui" refers to the groundbreaking and forward-looking dialogue between Liu Bei and the future "kings and ministers" that night in Zhuge Liang's thatched cottage when Liu Bei paid three visits to it.

It was this "Longzhong Dual" that allowed Zhuge Liang to draw up a three-part world pattern to Liu Bei.

Such foresight and prediction are indeed exciting.

What is less known is that, in addition to Zhuge Liang, there are also two versions of "Longzhong Pair"!

One is Ju Shou's "Long Zhong Dui".

It was the second year of Chuping, the emperor was still in the hands of Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao had just scared away the timid Han Fu, occupied Jizhou, and was competing with Gongsun Zan for the north.

At that time, Yuan Shao was far from the overlord of the north.

At that time, Jushou proposed to Yuan Shao his Jushou version of "Longzhong Dui".

First, based on the rich Jizhou, the forces such as the Yellow Turban Army, Black Mountain Bandits, and Gongsun Zan were wiped out, and the four northern states of Ji, Bing, Qing, and Youbo were occupied.

Then:

——"Collect the talents of heroes, support millions of people, welcome the great emperor to Xijing, restore the ancestral temple in Luoyi, and command the world to conquer the unrecovered, and compete with them. Who can defeat them!"

In the early stage, Yuan Shao did follow Ju Shou's "Longzhong Pair".

Define the four states and unify the northern border.

only…

Ju Shou's version of Longzhong Duzhong, "holding the emperor to command the princes" is contrary to Yuan Shao's ambition.

What Yuan Shao wants to do is definitely not just a man. The old Yuan family wants to make further progress.

It was precisely Ju Shou's "Longzhong Duo" that Yuan Shao failed to carry out and forcibly gave up the emperor to Cao Cao, which led to the replacement of the northern overlord.

This is the first miscarriage during the Three Kingdoms period, and the most regrettable "Longzhong couple"!

The second one is Lu Su.

It is worth mentioning that the time when Lu Su proposed the "Longzhong Pair" was ten years before Zhuge Liang met Liu Bei and proposed the Longzhong Pair!

It is also the "couch policy" that later generations talk about!

That was the first time he met Sun Quan.

Sun Quan asked him at that time, "Today, the Han Dynasty is like a edifice that is falling apart, and there is chaos in all directions. I inherit the foundation established by my father and brother, and hope to achieve the same achievements as Qi Huan and Jin Wen. Since you patronize me, what good advice can I use to help me succeed?" ?”

Lu Su's answer is.

——"The Han Dynasty can no longer be revived, and Cao Cao cannot be eliminated at once. For the sake of the general, the only choice is to stay in Jiangdong to watch the changing situation in the world."

——"The situation in the world is like this. Possession of one side will not arouse suspicion, jealousy and hatred. Why? Because it is a troubled time in the north. You take advantage of this change to annihilate Huang Zu, attack Liu Biao, and try your best to occupy all the places south of the Yangtze River. Then he proclaimed himself emperor and established a title in order to seize the world. This is a great cause established by Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty!"

That’s true!

Reasonable and well-founded!

If we say that Zhuge Liang's strategic plan for "Longzhong Pair" is to occupy Jingzhou and advance into Yizhou to form a tripartite force and wait for the changes in the world!

So the strategic plan of Lu Su's "Longzhong Pair" is to dominate Jiangdong, make progress in Jingzhou, and wait for the changes in the world.

It can be seen clearly.

In terms of strategic planning between Sun and Liu, ten years before Zhuge Liang's version of "Longzhong Duel", it was already destined that Jingzhou... would be a link that both sides could never avoid!

After that, no matter who the governor of Jiangdong was.

What Sun Quan always pursues is this "strategic plan" proposed by Lu Su!

Now that Huang Zu has been destroyed, Liu Biao is no longer...

The next plan is to take Jingzhou!

As for lending Jingzhou to Liu Bei, that is a temporary measure.

It's like if Sun Quan doesn't lend it to him, Liu Bei will give it to Sun Quan!

Lu Su just wanted both parties to let the Sun-Liu alliance stay decent to each other!

And Lu Su is an honest man.

But...he knows better...

Jingzhou and Soochow will still have to plot sooner or later. This is a link that can never be avoided.

However, now...Sun Quan wants to make some modifications to the "Longzhong Pair" strategy proposed by Lu Su...

Lu Su can understand.

This is forced by the times...

It was the strategic consequence of the defeat of Xiaoyaojin, the failure to implement the demarcation of the Xiangshui River, and the necessary changes brought about by the fact that the three counties of Changsha, Guiyang, and Jiangxia were still in the hands of Guan Yu.

Today's Soochow needs Jiaozhou too much as a strategic extension and expansion!

Today's Soochow is in great need of Jiaozhou's resources.

What's more, Jiaozhou is connected to Jingnan. In the current situation, Changsha County is firmly in Guan Yu's hands. If Jingzhou is taken, it will not only be a problem for Jiangling.

Soochow must be able to develop a second battlefield, a second front, and a second rear area!

call…

With this in mind, Lu Su cupped his hands and said: "I know my lord, just as my lord knows his ministers... The situation is not favorable for us in Soochow now. Hefei is a city. As long as Wei general Zhang Liao is still there, Jiangdong soldiers will definitely not be able to conquer it!"

"The only place in Jiangdong that can break the situation is Jingzhou! Only Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang! Jingzhou has to be taken. However, the Cao thieves are powerful, but the alliance between Sun and Liu cannot be broken. Thanks to my lord Miao Zan, I mentioned my 'Longzhong' Yes, I know that my lord will never give up the strategy of 'Longzhong Du'. My lord ordered Lu Xun to take Jiaozhou just to capture a corner of Jingzhou in 'Long Zhong Du'. My lord has great ambitions and cannot deceive me!"

Speaking of which…

Lu Su began to deploy according to the new ideas in the revised version of Sun Quan's "Longzhong Pair".

"My lord, if you want to capture Jiaozhou, you must first stabilize Cao and Liu. Zhang Liao in the north cannot be captured for the time being. You should send heavy troops to garrison Ruxukou. This Ruxukou will be a water battle. Even if our army cannot reach Hefei, the Wei army cannot pass through Ruxukou." Must."

"As for Jingzhou, Zhuge Kongming repeatedly mentioned an 'adopted' son to his brother, and Ziyu also repeatedly told his lord that he might as well take this opportunity to give him a favor. In this way, at least Lu Xun takes Jiaozhou, and Jingzhou will not give Jiaozhou resistance! With my bravery in Jiangdong, I will secure Jiaozhou within a year, and after that...it will not be too late to visit Jiangling and Changsha!"

Soochow's strategy has changed.

Nowadays, Jingzhou is no longer a "Jiangling" problem, Changsha is a link that cannot be bypassed.

——If you want to take Changsha, you must take Jiaozhou!

Lu Su's version of the "Longzhong Pair" strategy has not changed, but... some adjustments have been made on the issue of taking Jingzhou.

And hearing this...

Sun Quan took a deep breath.

"He who knows me is Zijing!"

Lu Su handed over his hand and said, "The top priority is to let Zhuge Ziyu adopt a son to Zhuge Kongming. In this way... the lord will have nothing to worry about when he conquers Jiaozhou in the south!"

As Lu Su finished speaking, Sun Quan's green eyes narrowed, and he opened his mouth and said, "This is not enough!"

"Master, what do you want?"

"I heard that Yun Chang has a daughter named Yan with a small character Yin Ping. She is twenty-eight years old and has not yet been married! Although Gu's eldest son Deng has not yet reached the crown, he is not married either! Gu wants to send someone to propose marriage to Yun Chang's daughter Yin Ping? Jingzhou, Quan Qiu How about my son’s betrothal gift?”

While speaking, Sun Quan's eyes released a strange light.

There is a deep chill in the warmth.

It's like this "marriage" is far from as simple as it sounds.

Lu Su chirped, his eyes moving at first, and finally, his eyes settled down.

——"My lord, this move is called marriage, but it is intended for the subtle relationship between 'Liu and Guan'. This plan is very clever!"

Hearing this, Sun Quan smiled.

After stroking his small purple beard, he spent a moment.

"Ha ha…"

"Hahaha…"

Sun Quan, who was originally gloomy, finally smiled knowingly.

…

…

Guan Yu's hands were trembling slightly, and he looked helplessly at Guan Lin's first answer sheet.

He felt extremely anxious and disappointed.

At this time, Guan Lin had already finished answering the second bamboo slip.

——"In all counties in Yizhou, clans are hoarding goods and prices are skyrocketing! How to solve the problem?"

Guan Lin answered this question very quickly.

It's only twenty breaths of time.

He closed the bamboo slip and pushed it to the front as usual.

I still mean that...

——I’ve finished my answer, you can read it as you like.

This time, Zhang Fei didn't dare to look, for fear of seeing some "unbelievable" answer again...

Moreover, the answer to the previous question was vividly remembered in Zhang Fei's mind!

There is no such answer.

Faced with the question raised by Kong Ming, "Cao's thieves are about to go south, and they can't gather the military resources to fight against Cao", how can there be an answer - "If you can't gather it, you can't gather it"?

Is this the way to answer a question well?

Is this obviously nonsense?

For a moment, Zhang Fei thought about it.

——'Kong Ming wants to take this kid's test, but he may not answer well. Kong Ming wants to accept this kid as his disciple, but I'm afraid he's thinking too much this time! 』

Looking back at Guan Yu, he reminded Guan Lin when he opened the third bamboo slip.

"Yun Qi, this is a test for you by the military advisor. There are many people in Jingzhou and Yizhou who want to become his disciples, but they are unable to do so. Can you be more serious!"

Guan Yu's tone was a little cold and serious.

only.

When these words came out, Guan Lin stopped answering the third question. He faced Guan Yu's cold gaze, "Which eye of the father saw that the child didn't answer properly?"

this…

Guan Lin has a kind of magical power. With just a few words, he can instantly ignite the flame in Guan Yu's heart.

"Is this your answer sheet?" Guan Yu smashed the bamboo slips in front of Guan Lin, "What do you mean, 'If you can't make it up, you can't make it up?' Are you giving a good answer?"

It was obvious that Guan Yu was already a little angry.

Zhuge Kongming is one of the few people he admires.

Now... how lucky and honorable it is for my son to be favored by Kong Ming. It is also crucial to Guan Lin's growth and future!

But... Yunqi him!

Guan Yu's fists were clenched.

However, Guan Lin was not afraid at all. He answered directly: "This is my answer. If my father doesn't think it is good, then he shouldn't take this test? Is it okay for the child to go back to sleep while he is here?" Isn’t it more beautiful?”

"You..." Guan Yu couldn't help but raise his hand.

Guan Yinping and Zhang Xingcai were shocked...

Zhang Fei had quick eyesight and quickly stopped Guan Yu, "Second brother, what do you call Yun Qi?"

Guan Yu's chest kept rising and falling, and his anger continued: "This 'treason' wants to piss me off to death!"

The atmosphere suddenly became cold.

At this time, Ma Liang quickly winked at Yang Yi. Yang Yi understood and immediately stood up and raised his hands towards Guan Yu.

"Guan Yu…"

"Yang Shangshu has something to say." Guan Yu stretched out his hand to signal Yang Yi to speak.

Yang Yi then opened her mouth and said: "Logically speaking, when Guan Gong scolded the Fourth Young Master, the lower officials should not have cared about it!"

"But...since it was a question asked by Zhuge Military Advisor to test Young Master Yunqi, and now it is being tested, no matter how Young Master Yunqi answers? Guan Gong should not stop it...Perhaps Young Master Yunqi's ideas are jumping, and he will be dismissed. I just can't understand it with Guan Gong? Guan Gong should always believe that Zhuge is the military advisor!"

"That's right..." As soon as Yang Yi blurted out his words, Zhang Fei added: "Second brother, please calm down. It's just a test. Yun Qi's answer is not unreasonable. If you can't make it up, you can't make it up... Then Isn’t the traitor Cao going south yet? If this fart reaches the door, can it still choke a living person to death? Do you think it is right? "

Zhang Fei's words...are rough and unreasonable.

Ma Liang is the most transparent, and the first question Kong Ming asked...

He realized that this was not an ordinary test!

I'm afraid Kong Ming himself doesn't have the correct answer to this question. How can Yun Qi answer it?

And with Yun Qi's temperament, knowing that this question is difficult and off-kilter, and that no one can answer it, it is possible to get into a mood and give a random answer.

this…

Ma Liang shook his head helplessly.

——"It's a pity that Kong Ming made such a plan and favored... Yun Qi's attitude. I'm afraid I will miss such a good opportunity!" 』

For a time, everyone was trying to persuade and think.

On the contrary, it was Guan Lin, who still met Guan Yu's condensed gaze.

"Does the father still want the child to answer? If not, the child will stop answering and answer!"

Guan Lin made a move to leave.

——'You're such a traitor, are you so pushy? 』

Guan Yu said nothing, but his cheeks changed again, becoming more and more ugly.

Yang Yi quickly advised: "Answer, how can you not answer?"

As he spoke, he picked up the answer sheet that fell on the ground and said with a smile. "I have already answered two questions, only the last one is left..."

Hearing this, Guan Lin spread his hands towards his father Guan Yu, pretending to be innocent.

Of course, in Guan Yu's opinion, this is more like a demonstration!

At this time, Guan Lin...knelt down on the bamboo mat again and began to answer the last question.

And this third question is interesting.

When Yizhou was first established, a number of local clans asked Liu Bei for their merits and requested that all the land and mansions they obtained be given to them.

So here’s the problem. The land is limited, and there are many people who can ask for credit. There are Liu Bei’s “Veteran Faction”, the “Jingzhou Faction” who led the Western Expedition, and the “Dongzhou Faction” who acted as internal correspondents...

How to divide this field?

How to divide the mansion?

Of course, Zhuge Liang's title was very implicit, but Guan Lin was very aware of the twists and turns and the factional disputes in between.

The reason why Shu Han in history stopped eating vegetables.

Put aside the idea of ​​hitting nine mines from one mine.

The internal factions alone are complicated.

The veteran faction headed by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei;

Jingzhou faction headed by Zhuge Liang;

Dongzhou faction headed by Fazheng, Li Yan and Mengda;

There are also factions similar to Ma Chao who surrendered generals, as well as a self-contained faction in Yizhou.

Speaking of which, the disputes between the Three Kingdoms were just between the three families of Wei, Shu, and Wu...

But there are more than three families under Liu Bei?

All five have it!

It is no exaggeration to say that Shu Han is a big dye vat!

Facts have proved that Liu Bei has a way of "only virtuous and able to obey others". When it comes to checks and balances on various factions, if "Sun Shiwan" is the "strongest king", then Liu Bei is at most "the strongest king". Stubborn Bronze”!

Regardless of whether Sun Shiwan can't lead the army, he can check and balance the various factions in Soochow, and he can play tricks...

In this regard, the three Liu Xuandes tied together would not be as capable as Sun Shiwan.

The final result shows that Liu Bei's "checks and balances" have completely collapsed, the kind of collapse...

Even, it involves history - after Lu Meng crossed the river in white clothes, a series of Shu Han officials performed a series of psychedelic operations!

call…

Exhale gently.

Guan Lin calmed down.

So, how to answer this question? Guan Lin held his chin and fell into deep thought.

To everyone's surprise...

Guan Lin's "normal state" is actually thinking and thinking deeply!

In fact, this issue is just a small branch of the big issue of "Shu Han faction".

But, in the final analysis...Liu Bei can take charge of Chengdu.

Individual stock factions all have credit.

But guys, if I follow you Liu Bei to conquer the world, isn't it just for the land, for the house, for status, or more vulgarly, for wealth and resources!

Therefore, this distribution... seems to be a small issue, but in fact, it has become an important action for each faction to demonstrate its status!

This is an unavoidable problem in the early Shu Han Dynasty!

call…

Guan Lin thought for a quarter of an hour before he started writing.

When Guan Yu saw this scene, he couldn't help stroking his beard and muttering in his heart.

——"After all, he listened to what I said as a father!" 』

Zhang Xingcai leaned her head to look at the bamboo slips in front of Guan Lin, but it was too far away and couldn't see anything, she murmured.

"Is this question difficult?"

Guan Yinping shook his head, "How can the fourth brother care about whether it is difficult or not? It just depends on whether he is interested... For example, he wrote a whole poem for the test question about the Battle of Hefei..."

"What poem?"

"——The tiger's roar shook thousands of miles away, and Jiangdong's blue eyes shocked everyone..."

Following Guan Yinping's words, Zhang Xingcai blinked her eyes and asked curiously: "Sister Yinping, what does this poem mean?"

Over here, Guan Yinping and Zhang Xingcai were whispering something.

Over there, Guan Lin was writing furiously.

And as Yang Yi picked up the first bamboo slip, he really saw the answer on it clearly.

It's just as Guan Gong said.

——"If you can't get it together, you can't get it together!"

——"There's no need to join in!"

Yang Yi pursed her lips and thought about it in her heart.

——"This Young Master Guan Lin really speaks astonishingly!" 』

etc…

Yang Yi seemed to have thought of something.

He said to himself in a very soft and thin voice.

"Isn't it necessary to join in?"

Then, he thought of a possibility.

If...if Cao Cao left Hanzhong, then the matter of "fighting Cao's thieves" would naturally cease to exist.

If that's the case... then Guan Lin's answer "there's no need to guess"... there's no problem.

Can…

Will Cao Cao leave Hanzhong?

Under what circumstances will Cao Cao leave?

Thinking of this, Yang Yi only thought of two words - Xiangfan!

That's right, as long as the situation in Hefei is stable, Cao Cao will be able to leave Hanzhong only if something happens to the rear or Xiangfan.

Can…

There is no news about something happening in Cao Wei's rear!

So...something happened in Xiangfan.

Calculating carefully... something really happened in Xiangfan, such as the destruction of the five thousand tiger and leopard cavalry.

But if that's all... that's not enough.

In the Xiangfan battlefield, the real backbone is Cao Ren!

It’s Cao Wei’s “Heavenly General!”

As long as he is... then Xiangfan will be as stable as Mount Tai, and Cao Cao will not leave Hanzhong and join the battlefield here.

hiss…

Yang Yi suddenly took a deep breath.

He thought to himself.

——"Could it be Guan Yunqi who figured out what might happen to Cao Ren?" 』

The idea occurred only for a moment.

Yang Yi shook her head violently.

This is so fantastic!

How could this be calculated?

Just as Yang Yi was thinking about it, on the bank of Jingjiang River in the far north, under the dark night of Xiangyang City.

A figure suddenly appeared here.

He was unkempt;

He was weak all over;

He was exhausted;

But his eyes seemed to be filled with hatred, always glowing with bloodthirsty coldness.

He braced himself on the ground with his sword and faced the tower of Xiangyang City. He used up his last strength and roared.

——"Open the city gate quickly!"

——"This general is back!"

…

…
