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

Chapter 203 The boy who used to slay dragons has become a dragon now.

This song "Liang Fu Yin", the sound of the piano is still the same.

The music played by Zhuge Liang gradually sped up, as if the stream that was originally flowing smoothly became turbulent due to the terrain.

Then, as the sound of the piano played faster and faster, it seemed as if the stream merged into the river, and the water suddenly became more turbulent, rushing downstream.

At this moment, the story of two peaches killing three soldiers suddenly appeared in Cao Cao's mind.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Gongsun Jie, Tian Kaijiang, and Guyezi were ministers of Duke Jinggong of Qi, and they were brave and arrogant.

Yan Ying, the Prime Minister of Qi, wanted to get rid of these three people, so he asked Jinggong to give them two peaches and let them take the peaches according to their merits. As a result, all three of them abandoned the peaches and committed suicide.

——"Two peaches kill three men!" 』

Cao Cao couldn't help but chant this sentence again.

He looked up at Zhuge Liang and couldn't help but drive his horse forward.

"Prime Minister, be careful! Beware of hidden arrows!"

Zhang He quickly stopped, but if Cao Cao ignored him, Zhang He could only lead his troops to guard and raise their shields. At this moment, they were already within the shooting range of Jiangzhou City.

"Prime Minister..." Zhang He continued to say.

Cao Cao raised his hand and stopped him from speaking.

Zhuge Liang squinted his eyes slightly and saw Cao Cao approaching. There was sweat on his temples, but there was a smile on his lips.

The melody gradually slowed down, as soft as telling, and Zhuge Liang's inner voice seemed to be integrated into the sound of the piano.

"I have heard of you, Cao Cao, as a hero for a long time. Today, the city gate of Jiangzhou is opened. I will give you the right time and place. If you take Jiangzhou, you will be able to defeat Bazhong. If Bazhong is determined, then you will look far into Shu and the decisive battle will begin! Let me conquer this city. There are thousands of troops lurking in the gate. You, Cao Cao, should also break in, right? Just like when you broke into Puyang City, and Lü Bu hit your helmet with a halberd, and asked you, 'Where is Cao Cao?', what would you say in reply? 'He is the one riding the yellow horse in front!'"

Cao Cao squinted his eyes and felt Zhuge Liang's thoughts in the sound of the piano.

He couldn't help but responded in his heart: "Aren't you afraid? Even if the army is destroyed, if Guruo captures you and decides on this Bazhong, what hope does your lord have?"

Across a city wall, the two people's eyes met, as if they were talking, more like they were playing a game.

The sound of the piano also began to become intense.

"Liang set up an ambush in the city, but Liang is not sure of victory. You, Cao Cao, are not sure that you can capture Bazhong, are you? You are not sure that you can capture Xichuan, are you? Liang played the harp on the tower today. He was not showing weakness. This is not a temptation, but a reminder to you, a hero. You have left the Central Plains for half a year. How long do you plan to stay in Shu Road? In one or two years, I can afford it, but can you, Cao Cao, keep you? Can the rear be stable?"

It’s still a commonplace topic.

After Cao Cao became Duke, the clans that had supported him in Wei Wu's efforts to establish his hegemony began to have a huge backlash against Cao Cao.

——Xun Yu, Xun You, Cui Yan.

These counselors and talents who once supported him, gave him advice, and gave him guidance turned their backs on him one by one.

——No one with the surname Liu can claim the title of king.

Cao Cao finally poked a hornet's nest.

Han Dynasty…

After all, we still live in the world of experience of these aristocratic families.

This is also the reason why Cao Cao did not dare to go on a long expedition. After capturing Hanzhong and Zhang Lu surrendered, he immediately sent Xiahou Dun back to Xudu.

Even to this day, Cao Cao is still hesitating whether he should go south.

What he hesitated about…

It was as if this moment was transmitted to Cao Cao's mind through Zhuge Liang's music and his heart.

"Cao Cao, you don't dare to stay on the Shu Road for a long time. Your rear is unstable... Are the aristocratic families that you once relied on now staring at you with eager eyes? Once you have a decisive battle with my lord, once you are trapped On this road to Shu, you can't get away. Who else in the Central Plains and Northern Territory can stabilize the situation?"

"What's more, entering Shu is such a difficult matter. In history, except for the Qin Dynasty who took advantage of the civil strife of the local natives to enter Shu; except for Emperor Guangwu's two-pronged assault on the Yangtze River and Longyou; except for the Yizhou Shepherd Liu Zhang who sent my lord 'Who else but please come in has done this?"

"I shouldn't say it, Wei is not Qin, and you, Cao Cao, are not Emperor Guangwu. You can't stand on the Yangtze River! And when Hanzhong attacks Shu, Baishui, Jiameng, Jiange... can you defeat these three natural dangers? I My lord Liu Bei was not blocked by these three natural dangers, and You was delayed for two full years. If my lord can afford it, can you, Cao Cao, afford it?"

"Cao Cao, I am playing this "Yin of Liang Fu" to tell you that in "Yin of Liang Fu", Gongsun can defeat the wild boar and defeat the tigress, Tian Kaijiang can repel the enemy twice, defend the territory and open the territory, and Guyezi can sneak in In the water, I walked a hundred steps against the current to kill the "River God". They were so brave, but they were killed by Yan Zi's "Er Tao". It is true that you, Cao Cao, beat them several times, but how many "Yan Zi, Prime Minister of Qi" are there in the Central Plains? How many people want to split your Wei with 'two peaches'!"

"You are already sixty years old. If you spend your time in Bashu? Die in Bashu! The trap in Weiyang Palace may have been prepared for your descendants. This city... If you Cao Cao dare to break into it, you will be killed." I will die with you, but I will be buried with Wei Zhi, so I have no regrets!"

Zhuge Liang played "Liang Fu Yin"...like waves.

This pure and clear piece of music has the inner voice floating out from it.

——Cao Cao, you are no longer young!

——At the end of this life, the most important thing should not be to expand the territory and dominate the world, but to beware of "two peaches kill three people", and to find a way to land smoothly!

——How many people in this world fly high enough, but fail to land smoothly in the end? Aren't these people pitiable?

As Zhuge Liang's music became more intense again, Cao Cao's eyes suddenly opened.

Zhuge Liang's song, his reminder...Cao Cao completely understood it.

Why did he still play the piano at the top of the city when there was an ambush in the city?

He was telling about Zhuge Liang's dilemma and Cao Cao's dilemma. They were mortal enemies, but they were in similar situations...

——Their biggest enemy is not external trouble, but internal trouble!

They also have various difficulties. They should not fight this battle and cannot fight it!

At this moment, Cao Cao held his head high, and when he looked at Zhuge Liang, his eyes were full of "admiration"...

At this moment, Cao Cao seemed to see the shadow of Xun Yu in a trance.

Just like the person playing the piano at the top of Jiangzhou City is not Zhuge Liang, but Cao Cao's "ovary" Xun Yu!

Don't look at Cao Cao's life, he is like a heifer making wires - always awesome and making lightning!

Seems smart and great.

But in fact, his mind was often confused.

He will think about Xuzhou in the initial stage, when he is fighting with Lu Bu;

After the great victory at Guandu, he would not think about going north, but would think about going south to defeat Liu Biao;

These are the ultimate stupid moves.

And the reason why it didn't cause a catastrophe.

It is precisely because in the past few decades, Xun Yu, a top strategic master, has always been pulling him to prevent him from going astray!

But who would have thought that three years ago, Xun Yu, a Han minister, "had no Han salary to speak of" and he "committed suicide" by taking poison.

After the death of this "grand strategist" who once held him by the hand and prevented him from going astray... a huge anti-Cao wave was launched throughout the Central Plains and the Northern Territory.

After his death, Cao Cao's "ovary" suddenly became a huge obstacle for Cao Cao to take another step forward.

As a result, the political situation in the Central Plains and the North has been extremely turbulent in the past three years!

The past three years have been the most difficult three years that Cao Cao has experienced since the defeat of Chibi.

"I regret it——"

Cao Cao squinted his eyes and murmured as he looked at Zhuge Liang on Jiangzhou City.

What he was thinking about was his ovary, "Liu Bei still has the 'ovary' Zhuge Kongming, but the 'ovary' is no longer there!"

Thinking of this, Cao Cao's heart was full of twists and turns.

——"I'm sorry, Mr. Xun Ling... would you like to come back?" 』

Cao Cao's sudden move caused Zhang He and his son to look sideways. They both looked at him in surprise, and then looked at Zhuge Liang nervously. Zhang He couldn't help but have questions in his mind.

——"The Prime Minister looks like this. Can he enter the city?" 』

Zhuge Liang in Jiangzhou City did not know Cao Cao's mental journey.

While playing the piano, he looked at Cao Cao's appearance in the city. Ma Di could feel that his clothes were soaked with sweat.

"Cao Cao, my lord hates you. My lord wants to suck your marrow. What my lord is holding high is the banner of 'Han and traitors are not at odds'. After all, my lord has even removed the outer protection. This is telling you, Don't move forward! At this moment, the decisive battle on the Shu Road is not the time for either you or my lord. My lord asked Liang to send a message to you, Cao Cao. One day, my lord will fight with you on the battlefield. Showdown!"

The sound of the piano is now sonorous and majestic, like thousands of troops fighting, like swords and guns firing in unison!

Zhang He became more and more anxious. He couldn't help but said: "Prime Minister... if there is an ambush, Zhuge Liang will definitely lure our troops into the city? Why bother to set up such a suspicious formation? Let the general lead the troops to attack first. If there is an ambush, the Prime Minister will do it again." It’s never too late to calculate…”

Don't wait for Zhang He to finish speaking.

But a vanguard soldier stood up. This burly soldier took the lead and said: "My name is Wang Ping. He is from Brazil. He is now a ten-man commander of the Wei army. General Zhang's life is related to the command of the army. There cannot be any Lost, let me go to find out what's going on."

The one who shouted was Wang Ping, the one who cooperated with Ma Di at the street pavilion in history.

It should be noted that he was not a Shu Han general at the beginning, but after Zhang Lu Hanzhong returned and surrendered, he followed the seven-surnamed Yi king of Brazil ‘Pu Hu’ to help the people of Bayi and Xi (cóng) to attach themselves to Cao Cao.

Wang Ping is one of these "coins" and now serves as the ten-man commander in Cao's army.

The surrender to Shu took place after the Battle of Dingjun Mountain.

only…

Although Wang Ping made this decision, Cao Cao's mood had changed dramatically.

There was a general in Jingzhou who was defeated before, but now he understands Kong Ming's mind.

Cao Cao has realized that at this time, it is meaningless whether to hit the chin or not.

He can't afford to waste time on this Shu road!

He must go back immediately... He cannot be dragged here by Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.

Just like the mood expressed in Zhuge Liang's music.

It is important to unify the world, but he is sixty years old, the heir apparent has not yet been decided, and the obstacles have not been removed.

What he needs to solve now is not external troubles, but internal problems.

That’s it!

That’s it!

——Cao Cao has made up his mind!

Wang Ping, on the other hand, spoke firmly. He emphasized again: "Prime Minister Cao, let me go... My life is humble. I entered the city. Even if there is an ambush, it won't hurt if I die."

As he spoke, Wang Ping picked up his halberd and headed forward.

But with a "swish" sound, Cao Cao drew out his sword and stopped in front of Wang Ping.

Zhang He was shocked, "Prime Minister!"

However, Cao Cao pressed down the halberd in Wang Ping's hand with his sword, and raised his voice: "Chief Commander Wang Ping! What you said just now is wrong!"

"ah--"

Wang Ping was shocked, how could he have expected that... the Prime Minister would be like this.

While Zheng Zheng was astonished, Cao Cao's words came out one after another, "Every brave soldier under Gu's army, their lives are not lowly!"

"Prime Minister..." Zhang He was about to speak.

However, Cao Cao got off his horse and put the cloak on Wang Ping himself. Wang Ping could not help but raise his hand: "Prime Minister!"

Cao Cao immediately ordered, "Zhuge villagers set up an ambush in the city. This Wang Ping wanted to break into it for Gu to see what was going on. He said that his life was low and it would not hurt to kill him. Wrong, wrong, the lives of every soldier in our Wei army." You are not humble, I will feel deeply sad when every one of you passes away, how can it be 'harmless!'"

At this point, Cao Cao waved his hand, "Retreat, retreat. I could have captured Bazhong, but I couldn't bear to have my soldiers die on this thousand-mile road to Shu. Retreat, retreat! Send an order to the entire army, and the front team will become the rear team." ,withdraw!"

This... Although Zhang He was puzzled, since Cao Cao had given such an order, what else could he do.

Immediately command the troops to evacuate quickly.

Cao Cao did not forget to tell Zhang He, "Let Xu Huang withdraw too!"

"Prime Minister...is it..." Zhang He wanted to suggest, but seeing Cao Cao's weak cheek, he quickly handed over his hand.

"Here!"

For a time, the menacing Wei army retreated like a tidal wave, and Cao Jun's retreating figures were seen throughout the mountains.

Exhausted, Zhuge Liang slowly stood up holding the desk, looked at the smoke and dust gradually disappearing, and sat down as if his whole body had been emptied.

Ma Su quickly supported him and exclaimed: "The Prime Minister retreated from Cao Cao in an empty city. This is a miracle..."

The general stationed here climbed up on his hands and knees and said in disbelief, "Cao's army has retreated, really retreated."

Zhuge Liang gently wiped his sweat and spoke in a calm tone again.

"Just back off!"

The general here was surprised and confused. He wondered: "But...but why is this?"

Zhuge Liang chuckled softly, "If we take Bazhong, my lord will definitely have a decisive battle with Cao Cao. If this battle really happens, it will be a double disaster to both sides!"

Ma Su frowned and thought. He suddenly thought of something and quickly reminded: "No, the military advisor just said... Fuling..."

Zhuge Liang's expression hardened again.

"——There is only one Cao Cao. He comes to Bazhong and Fuling... No matter what, he can't hold it anymore!"

"——It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. I will retreat quickly and prepare to counterattack back to Fuling! If Cao Cao understands this song, he will not be reluctant to fight in Shu."

Changsha, beside the Laodao River, the water is gurgling and fallen flowers form a stream.

Guan Lin threw stones into the river boredly, while Zhuge Jin raised his eyes to look at the end of the Xiangjiang River, where the water and the sky line.

"You said...will you, Marquis Wu, send Mr. Zijing here?"

Guan Lin asked with interest.

He was actually quite confused.

Zhuge Jin shook his head, "It's hard to figure out what Marquis Wu is thinking...but..."

"But what?"

"But as you said, Hefei is Wu Hou's heartache. In order to overcome this heartache, Wuhou may..." Zhuge Jin was halfway through his words when he realized that there was no need for him to reply to this kid.

To talk to this kid, you have to be careful, otherwise... when will you be tricked by him if you don't protect all your money, you will have to count the money for this kid!

——"Pah..." Another stone was thrown, Guan Lin's eyes stared at the water pattern...

He said, "Mr. Zhuge, why don't you continue talking?"

Zhuge Jin changed the topic: "Fourth Young Master has the ability to care about the Governor, shouldn't he care about your father? Now he is heading north to Xiangfan. I heard that it snowed heavily in Jingbei. Your father is out of brotherhood and for the sake of the Han Dynasty. ZTE...this Northern Expedition is not easy to come by!"

"Pull him down -" Guan Lin blurted out, "My father...I don't even bother to mention him!"

Yes, when Guan Lin is in Changsha, he cares about more than just his father? He simply wanted to fuck Jiangxia, fuck Xiangfan... and fuck his whole family's household registration.

He and his father Guan Yu, who is not relaxed?

"well…"

Thinking of this, Guan Lin sighed.

——‘With such a father, being a son is really tiring! 』

Zhuge Jin keenly caught Guan Lin's expression and sighed in his heart.

——"The Guan family father and son seem to be enemies!" 』

With this in mind, Zhuge Jin changed the topic, "The traitor Cao set out in May and captured Hanzhong in July. It has been more than three months now. I don't know if he will go south to Bashu. I used to It can be said that people are in panic when they return from Shuzhong, what do you think, Mr. Guan Si?"

"No!" Guan Lin said without thinking...

"Why?" Zhuge Jin asked quickly, muttering in his heart, isn't this too determined?

"It's a long story..." Guan Lin spread his hands.

"I have nothing to do." Zhuge Jin was very interested... "You might as well tell me..."

Guan Lin did not answer immediately, but could not help but narrowed his eyes and began to think about this matter.

In fact, the problem appeared as early as Zhuge Liang's examination paper.

At that time, Guan Lin was certain that Cao Cao would never go south.

certainly…

The reason for his decision was not Cao Ren's fainting, nor Cao Chun's death, nor Man Chong, Wenpin, Lu Chang, Niu Jin...these generals who killed half of Cao Wei Xiangfan's household registration.

Speaking of which, these are all...accidents!

These were all reasons Guan Lin made up casually to cope with Ge Liang's exams.

In fact, in history, Cao Cao attacked Hanzhong in July and returned in December...

After shouting for a long time, the southern Bashu finally came to an end with heavy thunder and light rain.

What he said about "people are miserable and dissatisfied, now that they have gained Long, they will return to Shu" makes it sound as if Cao Cao was not greedy at all.

But in fact, these are all nonsense...

The reason why Cao Cao won Long did not look forward to Shu...

What is the essential reason?

If you look at what Cao Cao did after he came back, you will understand everything.

——In December of the 20th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao returned from Nanzheng and left Xia Houyuan to guard Hanzhong.

——The twenty-first year of Jian'an.

In February, Cao Cao returned to Yecheng.

In May, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty Liu Xie granted Cao Cao the title of King of Wei, with a city of 30,000 households.

He sits on the throne of the princes and kings. He does not acknowledge his ministers when performing affairs, and does not worship when receiving edicts. He worships heaven and earth with the emperor's crown, chariot uniforms, banners, and ritual music. The ancestral temple, ancestral temple, and wax are all made like the Han system. The capital of the country is Yecheng, and the princes are all princes. .

During this period, Cao Cao was still a Han minister in name, but in fact he was already the "emperor".

In July, the Southern Xiongnu Chanyu Huchuquan came to greet Cao Cao with the etiquette of greeting the emperor, but was detained by Cao Cao in Yecheng. Cao Cao took the opportunity to divide the Southern Xiongnu into five tribes and selected Han people as Sima to supervise them.

——The 22nd year of Jian'an

In April, the emperor ordered Cao Cao to set up the emperor's flag and warn him when he came in and out.

This means that when the emperor comes in and out, he must be vigilant and clear the way.

That is to say, the road is closed to prevent people from walking on the road.

In the tenth month of winter, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty gave Cao Cao a royal crown with ten crowns and a golden chariot with six horses and five auxiliary chariots.

Cao Cao made Cao Pi, the middle-ranking man with five senses, the crown prince of Wei.

to here…

It is not difficult to see that it took Cao Cao two years after returning to Xudu.

In the past two years, whether it is the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms or the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, all records are very vague...

However, Cao Cao completed the entire evolutionary process from "Gong of Wei" to "King of Wei" to almost the same etiquette as "Son of Emperor".

Two years later, Cao Cao was no longer the Luoyang Northern Lieutenant who made five-color sticks to beat the powerful;

It is no longer the Dunqiu Order that promulgates ten crimes, punishes the powerful, and returns the sky to the people;

He is no longer the prime minister of Jinan who destroyed the temple of obscenity;

I am no longer a Yilang who dares to speak out for justice...

Not to mention the one where the eighteen princes attacked Dong and shouted out such bold words as "You guys go to the north, I will go from the west". They chased Dong's thieves alone, and finally returned in defeat. They scolded Yuan Shao for his "incompetence in strategy".

That was the beginning of Cao Cao's darkening.

From that moment on…

The ignorant young man who once aspired to become the "General of the Western Conquest" of the Han Dynasty, the man who once wielded a sword to slay the evil dragons in the world and set the right path is no longer there.

Today he...

The boy who slayed the dragon finally turned into a dragon!

so…

No matter how he looked at it, Guan Lin was certain that Cao Cao would never go south... Even if his head twitched and he really went south, he would soon wake up and rein in his horse.

Cao Cao still has big things to do, Shu Dao...he can't afford it!

"hehe…"

Thinking of this, Guan Lin smiled lightly and chanted lightly: "The human heart is not as good as a snake swallowing an elephant. Now that we have gained Long, how can we return to Shu?"

"You don't sound like a young man, but like an old man who has seen through everything." Zhuge Jin stroked his beard, but soon he came back to his thoughts: "What the Fourth Young Master means...Cao Cao will not be greedy for Bashu? Is this...impossible?"

"Everyone can be greedy. If Cao Cao was as old as Marquis Wu, he would definitely go south to Bashu, but now...hehe..."

Guan Lin smiled slightly and said: "Anyone will choose safety and internal stability in the last few years of his life. After all, Cao Cao, who has been fighting all his life, is no exception. No... Wei Shizi has not decided yet!"

"You mean..."

Zhuge Jin just started, but Guan Lin interrupted him again. He asked Zhuge Jin, "Mr. Ziyu, I dare to ask you, if you are Cao Cao, you are the emperor in name and command the princes, and you are Han in name." After struggling for a lifetime, fighting for a lifetime, acting for a lifetime, and suffering for a lifetime, this man is sixty, sixty years old... Do you still want to continue acting? Aren't you thinking about changing the 'house capital' of this big man? What about the name?"

Zhuge Jin was startled, "Fang Ben'er? What is Fang Ben'er, and what is Fang Ben'er's name?"

Guan Lin didn't explain, but he was thinking about it in his heart.

——"It's not easy for Lao Cao. After working for a lifetime, the last few procedures for the Han family's house book must be completed!" 』

——"The successor to Cao Wei must be chosen, right?" 』

——"The internal conflicts between clans and clans, the resistance of clans, this series of problems must be settled, right?" 』

Guan Lin blinked his eyes...

Thinking of this, he felt a headache for Cao Cao.

Every mine has its own troubles;

Nine mines also have the troubles of nine mines!

Just as Guan Lin thought.

It is said that Lao Cao's pattern of "having won Long, and returning to Shu" is shallow. That pattern is really shallow.

Liu Bei worked hard all his life, but he could still take a break and "continue playing music and dancing" while taking time to dance a disco!

Lao Cao worked hard all his life, and before he died, he went through all the transfer procedures for the Han Dynasty... and then his descendants could change the name at any time. This doesn't seem too much, right?

Based on…

——South Bashu! Head south to Bashu!

Guan Lin admitted that he was gambling on this matter.

But Lao Cao's structure, no matter what, is bigger than Bashu in the south!

Guan Lin was pouting, thinking about this matter.

But I saw several awning boats approaching from a distance... The soldier on the leading speed boat shouted.

"Tzuyu, the governor is here!" It was Lu Meng who shouted.

Lu Su is here...

It was Lu Meng who sent him here personally.
