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

——Zhang Lu surrendered to Cao Cao. The rebels were about to march south. Chengdu had no food in its treasury and could not gather the military resources to resist Cao Cao.

——In various counties in Yizhou, clans are hoarding goods and prices are skyrocketing.

——Yizhou initially decided how to allocate limited acres of land.

These are the three test questions Zhuge Liang wrote to Guan Lin.

This is also an extremely urgent difficulty facing Shuzhong today.

Zhuge Liang still doesn't know Guan Lin's answer.

Because of this, he couldn't understand why Guan Yu would send an extra letter and immediately send someone to recover it?

Of course, these are not important in the face of today's urgent report.

Cao Ren fainted, Xiangfan was bound to change drastically.

How could Yun Chang let this opportunity pass?

I'm afraid that now, he is on the Northern Expedition to Xiangfan...

And Cao Cao will definitely choose to return aid, which means that the first problem has been solved.

As for the second and third problems, although they have not been resolved,...as long as Cao Cao can withdraw from Hanzhong, Zhuge Liang will undoubtedly be given sufficient time.

Stabilize prices, appease clans, allocate acres of land, check and balance all parties...

Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei always find a way.

But time is their enemy.

Now, under this battle report.

What a joy!

Cao Chun is fine, Cao Ren faints, this is great joy to Liu Huangshu, Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, the people of Shu, and the tens of millions of people with lofty ideals who are committed to helping the Han Dynasty!

Zhuge Liang couldn't help but sigh.

The civil servant quickly reminded: "General Zuo is still waiting for the military advisor in his mansion."

"I'll go right away." Zhuge Liang put the first answer sheet handed over by Yang Yi back on the table.

He looked back at Yang Yi, "I'll go to my lord first. I'll look at this answer sheet of Yun Qi when I get back. Mr. Wei, please go down and have a good rest. I'll call you tomorrow."

"Okay..." Yang Yi bowed.

But...he seemed to suddenly think of something, and in an instant, his expression became horrified.

——He was thinking of Fourth Young Master Guan’s answer.

If so…

If Cao Ren fainted, then... Then the dispute between the Guan father and his son about the first answer sheet, wouldn't it be... wouldn't it be...

With a "gudong" sound, Yang Yi subconsciously swallowed deeply.

It also reminded him of when Guan Lin answered this question.

Guan Yu angrily asked him to rewrite...

But he faced Guan Yu's eyes that almost burst into flames without giving an inch.

——"Father, don't you hear that if a frog in a well cannot talk to the sea, he is bound to the void; if a summer insect cannot talk to the ice, he is bound to the time; if a scholar cannot talk to the Tao, he is bound to the teachings. Today When you come out of the cliff and look at the sea, you will know that you are ugly, and you will be able to talk about Dali."

Obedient…

You cannot talk to the frog in the well about the sea;

A summer bug cannot talk to it about ice;

Don't talk about big principles with people who have little knowledge.

At that time, Yang Yi still lamented, Master Guan 4th Master really dared to say this. How dare he say this to Guan Gong?

Especially the last sentence, "Now that you are out of the cliff and looking at the sea, you know that you are ugly, and you will be able to talk about Dali."

At that time, Yang Yi felt that this sentence was the heaviest and the most "ignorant is fearless"!

...As a son, how can Guan Lin let his father Guan Yu "look out from the seaside, observe the sea, and then know his own shallowness, so that he can talk to him about great principles"?

For a son to say such things to his father, it can be called "great unfilial piety". This was also Yang Yi's first impression of Guan Lin.

But now I am savoring it, savoring it carefully...

It turns out that the stupid one is Yang Yi himself!

How could Guan Lin be unfilial? Facts speak louder than words. He just insisted on the truth.

On the contrary, Yang Yi and Guan Gong... seemed to be ashamed of themselves.

——"That's it. No wonder Guild Guan sent a messenger to recover the letter. Mr. Yunqi answered this question correctly, so...then what kind of letter should I send?" 』

——‘Master Yunqi is talking about the sea to us ‘well frogs’! 』

Just when Yang Yi was thinking about it, the carriage was already waiting in front of the door, and Zhuge Liang was about to go out.

It seemed that Yang Yi had a strange expression on his face.

Zhuge Liang quickly asked: "Is Mr. Wei exhausted?"

"No." Yang Yi hurriedly held up his hands and said: "I am bold and want to ask Military Advisor Zhuge to first read Master Yunqi's first answer sheet before... going to General Zuo's Mansion!"

Well... Zhuge Liang paused.

Since Yang Yi said this, there must be a reason.

Zhuge Liang did not refuse, and immediately mentioned the bamboo slip again, "I'll read it on the way."

As he spoke, he strode out and boarded the carriage.

With the horse's neighing sound, the carriage drove away and slowly walked away.

But Yang Yi, standing in this study, felt as if her legs were half filled with lead, unable to move even one step.

At this moment, his heart was filled with disbelief and shock.

"——Could it be..."

"——No...it's not necessary at all. Master Yunqi must have known something in advance. No, in that case, the assassination of Cao Ren and Cao Chun, could it be...could it be..."

Thinking of the end, Yang Yi swallowed again. He felt that his whole body was shaking, shaking violently.

Over there...

Zhuge Liang sat in the carriage and slowly unfolded the bamboo slips.

At first glance, the answer is simple.

Indeed, it is somewhat perfunctory:

——"If you can't do it, you can't do it! Just sleep at home, there's no need to do it!"

Zhuge Liang felt that Guan Yunqi was the only one in the world who could answer the question like this, right?

And Zhuge Liang has finally come to his senses. No wonder Yunchang said that this was Yun Qi's perfunctory work and a work of anger.

"hehe…"

Zhuge Liang couldn't help but smile bitterly.

After days of hard work, he looked extremely tired, and a heavy sigh escaped from his lips.

He sighed with emotion: "Such a boy? Yunchang strongly recommends him? Can I teach him?"

Can…

Just as the voice was raised, it was like a flash of light, and Zhuge Liang suddenly felt something strange suddenly surge in his heart.

Then, he seemed to have figured out something, and felt a shiver in his chest.

He couldn't help but fix his eyes on the answer sheet again.

The words on the answer sheet are still the same - "If you can't make it up, you can't make it up... There's no need to make it up!"

But Zhuge Liang's state of mind changed drastically.

The urgent report that had just been received, that Cao Ren had fainted and Cao Chun was dead, quickly flashed through his mind again, and the most strange thing was immediately caught by Zhuge Liang.

He opened his mouth subconsciously, "Yun Qi's answer indicates that Cao Cao will leave? But how could he know that something happened to Cao Ren?"

"Assassination...assassination? Could it be that...Yun Qi already knew about this 'assassination' before this answer sheet was written? That's why...he gave such a perfunctory answer?"

——"Didi da"

Thinking of this section... Zhuge Liang's forehead was dripping with cold sweat.

One of his hands held the wrist of the other hand tightly, thinking of what Yang Yi mentioned in the battle report.

The tiger and leopard rider died in Sunset Valley.

Zhuge Liang seemed to be more understanding all of a sudden.

He chanted softly:

——"Isn't this a trap set by him?"

…

…

Whether it is Hanzhong or Shuzhong, the news is always lagging behind.

Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei were particularly surprised when Cao Ren and Cao Chun were assassinated, one dead and the other unconscious.

The latest battle report from Xiangfan...has reached Xudu and Yecheng.

——Man Chong, Wenpin, Lu Chang, and Niu Jin all died.

——In the battle of Jiangxia, Cao's army suffered heavy losses, and the Guan army was approaching Xiangfan at any time.

At this moment, Cao Cao's fourth son Cao Zhi and his lord Bo Yangxiu rushed from Yecheng to Nanyang.

In their view, there was a garrison in Nanyang, and it was Yu Jin's soldiers and horses.

Yang Xiu suggested that Cao Zhi use his father's name to mobilize this army to help Xiangfan.

At such a time when nothing can happen, if any young man has such courage, then this young man will have made a great contribution!

In the morning light, the huge city gate was closed, like a dormant giant beast. There were doorkeepers standing on both sides. Because the streets were extremely quiet too early, the sound of horse hooves became particularly clear.

Yang Xiu and Cao Zhi galloped to the military camp on the left side of the gate and reined in their horses. When a deputy general saw the two of them, he quickly bowed and said: "The general will pay homage to the Fourth Young Master and Yang Lord Bo. I don't know that Young Master and Yang Lord Bo are here. Why?"

Cao Zhi said: "I am here to mobilize troops under the orders of my father. This is the troop deployment document. Please order your troops to go to Xiangfan immediately!"

The lieutenant general said: "Young Master, please forgive me. Not to mention dispatching troops to Xiangfan, even if we dispatch troops to nearby counties, the generals would not dare to do so."

"Why is this?" Yang Xiu rode forward.

The lieutenant general said: "General Yu Jin's troops are in Xudu, but the general has issued a military order. The situation in Xiangfan is in crisis. All the soldiers in Runan City are ready to prepare. Without his order, no one can act rashly, let alone rush to the rescue of Xiangfan."

As soon as this statement came out...

Cao Zhi looked embarrassed, but Yang Xiu scolded: "It's ridiculous. The Fourth Young Master is here just to mobilize troops to aid Xiangfan on the orders of Prime Minister Cao. No matter how big the ban is, can it be bigger than Prime Minister Cao? You must quickly order your troops. Can you afford to delay the Xiangfan war?"

The lieutenant knelt down hurriedly, "My lord, I will forgive you, but even if you lend me ten courages, I don't dare to delay, but... you can't disobey General Yu's military orders. General Yu Jin is in Xudu now. If the Fourth Young Master insists on moving troops, you might as well send the Prime Minister's The transfer order is given to the general, and the general will rush back immediately. When the time comes, he will personally lead the troops to rescue Xiangfan."

You know, Yu Jin's soldiers have always been known for their discipline.

In Cao Cao's mind, Yu Jin himself was the first of the five good generals.

This can be seen from the fact that when Cao Cao became king, Yu Jin was moved to the position of General Zuo, and the fake Jie Yue showed Cao Cao's love and respect for Jin.

You know, Zhang Babai, who almost defeated Sun Shiwan, was only awarded the title of General Zhengdong at that time.

Xu Huang and Zhang He were still generals with mixed numbers.

This can also be seen in the status of Jin among the generals of Cao Wei.

However, he maintained strict control over the army and never allowed soldiers to hide the captured finances.

His military orders are like mountains, and under his command...anyone who disobeys military orders will be killed without mercy.

It is precisely because of this that even if Cao Zhi and Yang Xiu arrived, how could the deputy general dare to order troops privately?

"I've been going to Xudu for at least two days. I've already delayed the important task of rescuing Xiangfan. If you don't open the door, I'll kill you first." Yang Xiu shouted angrily.

The deputy general said in fear: "Even if the commander kills the general, the general will not dare to disobey the military order!"

Yang Xiu sneered, "You think I don't dare?"

Suddenly, sword light flashed, and a stream of blood spattered on the bodies of Yang Xiu and Cao Zhi.

Cao Zhi was shocked, "Dezu?"

However, Yang Xiu shouted loudly at the other soldiers: "Want to test the sharpness of my sword? The matter is urgent. Prime Minister Cao's troop deployment documents are here. Please order your troops quickly! If you hesitate again, you will be killed without mercy!"

Lieutenant General Yigan did see the fake document and quickly ordered his troops in panic.

Cao Zhi became worried. He whispered: "Dezu, are you going too far? After all, this document..."

"Fourth Young Master, Fourth Young Master..." Yang Xiu said quickly: "At this moment, I'm afraid your second brother and your third brother have already dispatched troops to Xiangfan. If at this time, you don't have such courage, then how can the Prime Minister take it? The prince will leave it to you?"

As soon as he said this, Cao Zhi hesitated for a moment, then he groaned softly.

"Dezu is right - you must cut with a sword, and you must cut with an axe..."

While speaking, he glanced at the corpse on the ground, held up this "forged" Wei Gong's edict, and ordered his troops to leave the city!

…

On the other side, Xu Ducheng.

Cao Pi also faced the same dilemma as Cao Zhi. General Gao Lan's troops were stationed here.

This Gao Lan was the one who surrendered to Cao Cao along with Zhang He during the Battle of Guandu. In the novel, he was killed by Zhao Yun at Changbanpo, but there is no record of this in the official history.

In fact, he is living well, and because of the reason of "leading troops into the group" back then, he still has a wave of troops stationed on the outskirts of Xudu.

Gao Lan is also absent...

It was also Cao Pi who came here to order troops.

At this moment, Cao Pi was very anxious. Wu Zhi beside him drew his sword and faced the lieutenant in front of him.

"If you don't order troops, I will kill you."

The lieutenant bowed and said, "Zhong Lang is going to kill only the last general. But if the last general orders troops privately and violates military discipline... then Prime Minister Cao will kill us all."

Unlike Cao Zhi, Cao Pi was not a master of "forging notes" like Yang Xiu, nor did he have the courage to forge an edict from his father to order troops.

And at this moment...

The situation in Xiangfan was in crisis. How could Cao Pi not know that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to "make meritorious deeds".

Wu Zhi was anxious and angry, and raised his sword, "You are so bold...I will kill you!"

"Wait..." Cao Pi immediately stopped him.

"Why is this?" Wu Zhi asked quickly. Cao Pi's eyes were dark, and he sighed with emotion: "If Zhongda (Sima Yi) was here, he would definitely not let me kill anyone."

this…

Wu Zhi was also Cao Pi's think tank, but he couldn't hold his breath at this moment. "If we are trapped here, then the first task of rescuing Xiangfan will be... but it will be given to Master Zijian."

Cao Pi bit his lip slightly, and I said firmly: "Wait...wait, I will wait for General Gao Lan to come back! Zhongda said, "You have no intention of crossing the river, but if you want to cross the river, some rivers...can't be crossed by force!"

…

…

Chengdu, General Zuo's Mansion.

In front of Liu Bei was a portrait of Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty.

He has always regarded Liu Bang as his goal.

In Liu Bei's eyes, Liu Bang is ambitious, knowledgeable, and approachable;

Liu Bang was tenacious, knowledgeable, and benevolent;

Liu Bang also fought out of Bashu and unified the world.

——This is what Emperor Gaozu was like, and Liu Bei must be like this too.

In fact, Liu Bei and Liu Bang are fundamentally different.

Where is Liu Bang? Even though he is flesh and blood, he knows his own ordinaryness and his worth. He knows people and himself better than Liu Bei, and Liu Bei is more tenacious than Liu Bang.

Therefore, it is also the "Battle of Yiling". If Liu Bei wants to do it, he will say - I may not be able to do it, I may not "measure my virtue and my ability", but I have decided on this matter, and I must fight.

But if it were Liu Bang, if he wanted to launch the "Battle of Yiling", he would say, no need to say "maybe", I just can't do it, but I'm very realistic, you guys do it, you can do whatever you say, I can Just hold it and hold it for you!

As a monarch, Liu Bang knew himself, so he delegated power, and he knew himself, so he listened.

At this point, Liu Bang was more successful than Liu Bei.

What about Liu Bei?

Liu Bei started from a young age.

His growth experience was destined to create a completely different character for the great ancestor Liu Bang.

When he was in the Central Plains, in order to survive, he repeatedly jumped among the various princes, stumbling against Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, and Cao Cao. His struggles boosted his reputation, so he has been managing his own charm and building his own reputation along the way. Persona.

——Crack down on looters, let the people have food to eat, be generous to others, and enjoy themselves with the people.

Even the bandit forces in Taishan, Xuzhou East, and Runan knew that Liu Bei was capable of fighting and benevolent, and that he would really come to his rescue when something happened, so they came to join forces with him.

——Liu Bei was able to control his own nature, and his joy and anger were restrained by color.

Living under Liu Biao's account, he wanted to express his views, but he had to first see what his host wanted.

People who can swallow back the words that come to their lips are the least likely to be messed with.

——He treated Zhou Yu politely;

——He pretended to be pitiful towards Sun Quan.

For the sake of his goal, Liu Bei did more than bow his head.

It is no exaggeration to say that if you ask him to knock on a goal, he will not hesitate.

Because of this, his virtue attracted many people.

Save Kong Rong and Tao Qian when they had no troops, and humbly let Xuzhou when they had no land;

Not listening to Zhuge's suggestion of "attacking Liu Cong" was when Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were enjoying themselves like a fish in water.

Don't abandon the people when the day's march is less than ten miles.

The worse the situation becomes, the more Liu Bei knows his choice.

The world is in chaos, and Gang is often absent. The only persona he can stick to is - he wants to believe in righteousness in the world.

Now, after half a lifetime, he finally occupied Yizhou, but faced Cao Cao's eager gaze...

Not to mention governing Shuzhong.

Every day, Liu Bei and Shuzhong spent their time in fear.

He was afraid that the abominable Cao Ah Man would take away everything he finally got, again and again.

Finally, just now, he received an urgent message.

——Cao Ren of Xiangfan fainted!

He, he, he fainted so well, so wonderfully, so perfectly.

And when Liu Bei learned that the cause of his fainting was not his second brother Guan Yu's thunderous offensive.

But... it's a "continuing crossbow". To be precise, it's a small hidden weapon inside the repeating crossbow. It's a trap set by a mysterious man named "Huang Laoxie".

Liu Bei just felt absolutely amazing...

He felt that Huang Laoxie was simply a gift from God to Liu Bei to help him overcome this predicament.

He was so excited that he couldn't help himself.

When it was late at night, he couldn't help but send someone to ask Zhuge Kongming to tell him this great news and tell him... Our Shuzhong can finally be secure.

With a "crunch", a gust of wind came and the door opened.

Zhuge Liang entered the main hall of General Zuo's Mansion, where Liu Bei had been waiting for him. He took Zhuge Liang's hand, and the two of them walked to Liu Bang's portrait.

"Kong Ming, back then our great ancestor broke through step by step from the land of abundance, captured the land of the Three Qins, Chu and Han fought against each other, and established the Han Dynasty for thousands of generations... Today, Cao Ren in Xiangfan fainted, Cao Cao was bound to rush to Xiangfan's aid, and the situation in Shu was stable, Long The Chinese strategy has been advanced. When I think of this, I...I can't help myself, so...I invite you, sir, because I want to have a few words with you in front of the great ancestor."

Liu Bei's excitement was beyond words.

This is like a growing tiger, who always holds a mature lion in front of his door, staring eagerly,

This little tiger could be swallowed up at any time.

Not only did the little tiger have trouble sleeping and eating, he also lost weight... The huge pressure was about to crush him.

And finally one day, the lion was forced to evacuate due to unavoidable reasons.

The little tiger is finally free. He can finally hunt, eat meat, and grow up strong.

This kind of mood is difficult to control.

"My lord, my lord..." Seeing Liu Bei's tears dripping down, Zhuge Liang felt the sweat on his palms.

Along the way, Zhuge Liang knew the difficulties of Uncle Liu Huang best.

Liu Bei wiped his tears and said with emotion: "Kong Ming, your talent is not weaker than that of Jiang Ziya who flourished for 800 years, and Zhang Zifang who flourished for 400 years. I know...Kong Ming, the only thing you lack most is time. Now Okay, Xiangfan... there is Huang Laoxie in Xiangfan, he, he helped you and I gain this precious development time."

『——Huang Laoxie? 』

Zhuge Liang chanted this name in his heart. The last time it made him feel so excited was because of Hong Qigong.

Because of Hong Qigong's unbelievable action, he completely abolished the demarcation of the Xiangshui River and wiped out the issue of borrowing Jingzhou!

At that time, Zhuge Liang admired Hong Qigong so much that he couldn't help himself.

hehe…

Now think about it, whether it is Hong Qigong or Huang Laoxie, it is just a code name. Even Huang Laoxie is probably a familiar "code name".

"What do you think of Huang Laoxie, my lord?" Zhuge Liang asked with a smile.

Today Liu Bei sent word that Zhuge Liang is here, and it has nothing to do with military affairs...

In fact, once Cao Cao went to rescue Xiangfan, there would be no urgent military affairs, and the tense nerves of Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei could finally relax.

Taking advantage of this topic, Zhuge Liang simply mentioned this 'Huang Laoxie' to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei seemed to be quite interested in this topic, so much so that the mysterious figure Huang Laoxie reminded him of another person.

Liu Bei talked about it: "Attack the weak and attack the ignorant. The five hegemons can use repeating crossbows and hidden weapons to set up the situation... to lure Cao Ren into the bait. Although such a strategy is insidious, it can influence the current situation. Huang Laoxie deserves to do this." The word 'evil' comes up, and this 'evil' atmosphere makes me think of only Pang Shiyuan!"

Pang Tong, Pang Shiyuan!

Liu Bei compared Huang Laoxie to Pang Shiyuan, a young phoenix.

And Liu Bei's words continued.

"I didn't meet Pang Shiyuan until I was in my fifties. It was he who told me that I had been on the wrong path for decades. I had always fallen into the misunderstanding that 'every time I rebel against Cao, things will work out', but I ignored it. For big goals, sometimes you have to give up small goals if you don't get the time. If I always pursue something different from Cao Cao, then my path will be a dead end, and everyone will die. Where does the desire to believe in righteousness come from? Where does it come from? Ideal? Pang Shiyuan taught me that in order to achieve my ideal, I must first base myself on reality!"

"Today, looking at Huang Laoxie's assassination plan, the evil spirit is awe-inspiring. What I think of is Pang Shiyuan! He is the only one who has this strategy to turn the tide. Huang Laoxie, this game... makes me miss Shiyuan inexplicably. Yuan Na!"

At the end of the sentence, Liu Bei's tears fell again.

this…

Zhuge Liang's heart couldn't help but be slightly touched.

Yes, the current lord has Fa Xiaozhi and Zhuge Kongming, but he still lacks the "evil" Pang Shiyuan...

What is missing is Pang Shiyuan, who can be ruthless and cunning for a big goal, has ideals but is based on reality.

In this way…

call…

Zhuge Liang breathed softly.

He thought about it again and again before speaking to Liu Bei.

——"Master, do you want to know the true identity of Huang Laoxie?"

…

…
