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

At the foot of Dingjun Mountain, a hundred miles away from Hanzhong.

There are rolling waves of grass here. The arrival of winter has made the grass a little yellow.

A gentle river flows from the side, and there is a dense forest on one side of the river bank.

The sound of hoofbeats was like rain. Along the road at the foot of Dingjun Mountain, a cavalry team was galloping. The horses were like dragons and the people were like brocades. The two leaders had gorgeous bridles and carved saddles, and their riding skills were superb.

When they reached the entrance of the Dingjun Mountain Road, the leader of the horse stopped first. He said in a serious tone: "Miaocai, I want to ask you. I am returning to the Central Plains alone. If the big-eared bandits invade and stationed here at Dingjun Mountain, What should you do?"

It was Cao Cao who spoke.

After returning from Bazhong and learning about Xiangfan's current unfavorable situation, he had decided to leave Hanzhong.

Of course, it was impossible for him to tell Xia Houyuan, Zhang He, Xu Huang and others that the purpose of his return was to go through the last few transfer procedures for Da Han, the "house owner", so that Da Wei could legitimately dominate the world at any time!

In addition, Cao Cao also needs to select the future successor of the Wei Dynasty to inherit the world.

——I have been busy all my life and struggled all my life!

——At the age of sixty, it’s time to think about how to replace the “big man’s house book”;

——It’s time to think about how to land smoothly.

Of course, leaving means leaving, and landing means landing.

Before leaving, Cao Cao was still worried about Xia Houyuan.

At this moment, it was Xia Houyuan who was riding behind him.

This brother has been following Cao Cao since he was a child. He is interesting enough, a brother enough, and a friend enough...

At that time, when Cao Cao committed murder and needed someone to take the blame, Xia Houyuan directly took the blame... went to jail for him, and took on the lawsuit for him;

Cao Cao entered the Imperial College to study, and Xia Houyuan also entered the Imperial College.

When Cao Cao married a daughter-in-law, Xia Houyuan also married. Cao Cao's mother's Ding clan was a sister of the same family. Cao Cao married his sister, and Xia Houyuan married his sister.

It is no exaggeration to say that these brothers broke their bones and connected their tendons!

Of course, you can also put it another way.

Within the clan, Xia Houyuan's branch was too poor, and he was afraid of poverty... If he didn't hug Cao Cao tightly, where would he make a living?

Do you have to be poor like this for the rest of your life?

Just because you are poor and have no food, you have to make a choice again and let your late brother's daughter and niece live?

Or let his son live?

Finally... until now, after decades of fighting, Xia Houyuan has grown from Cao Cao's little follower, that charming poor boy, to a leader who can take charge of his own role.

As the commander-in-chief of Cao Wei in the northwest, his rapid march and his "five hundred in three days, one thousand in six days" inspired Cao's army and frightened the enemy.

At this moment, Xia Houyuan observed the terrain of Dingjun Mountain and immediately replied: "Dingjun Mountain is just a little higher, and the Shu army cannot fly and cannot cross Yangping Pass. I personally stationed troops at Yangping Pass, which is enough to conquer this place." Big-eared thieves block the country from entering."

Xia Houyuan said with great confidence.

As he said, Yangping Pass is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the terrain is extremely dangerous.

When Cao Cao was fighting Zhang Lu here, he saw Yangping Pass and said this: "How can this monstrous country be regarded as existence or non-existence?"

After all, if God's will was not on Cao's side when he attacked Yangping Pass, and the elk helped disperse Zhang Lu's army camp, how could Cao Cao have been defeated so easily?

Now, according to Xia Houyuan's intention, this is a natural danger. As long as we hold on... the situation will be stable.

"You can't just defend." Cao Cao raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Chencang and Qishan Road on the side of Dingjun Mountain. "You let Zhang He guard here. In this way, Liu Bei will not be able to devote all his efforts to the attack. He will have to guard against the enemy at Beishan." Raid.”

"If you find a good opportunity, you can also order Zhang He to cut off Liu Bei's food route along the Jushui River and draw fuel from the bottom of the cauldron."

During this period of time, Cao Cao was hiding in the mountains. He was not just waiting, he was also observing and observing the terrain.

Thinking about how to attack?

How to keep it?

Now the strategy he left for Xia Houyuan was very simple.

——Brother, just stay stationed at Yangping Pass honestly.

——Zhang He, whose surname is foreign, was stationed in Beishan outside Yangping Pass to disgust Liu Bei.

Of course, this will be very dangerous, but as long as it is disgusting, does it matter if it is dangerous or not? For people with a foreign surname, kindness should be put aside, right?

In fact, if we follow historical deductions.

Even if Cao Cao didn't need to remind him, Xia Houyuan had never been kind to Zhang He in recent years.

In the past, Ping Ma was overdue and used Zhang He as cannon fodder. Later, outside Yangping Pass, Zhang He was sent to garrison "Guangshi". Zhang He went further and further on the road to becoming cannon fodder, and got deeper and deeper.

But I can't stand it, and the sea is full of heroes.

Zhang He never complained and was quite upbeat. Faced with such unfair treatment, he still achieved amazing results and even left a high prestige and military exploits in the army.

"Don't worry, brother, I've written this down..." Xia Houyuan kept Cao Cao's words in mind.

Cao Cao patted him on the shoulder, "You have been poor since you were a child, and you gave up your son because of food. Gu knows that you are poor, and I am afraid. I also know that you have been helpless with Gu since you were a child. I know your temperament, and I can trust you. People As the saying goes, 'No Hanzhong, no Bashu', as long as you defend this place, the entire Wei Dynasty will be stable and there will be no chaos!"

Xia Houyuan felt deeply that he had a heavy responsibility and should have surrendered his hands.

But...at this time, I couldn't help but persuade.

"Brother, just don't worry about me. But this time on the battlefield in Xiangfan, Zijian got into a big disaster, causing Jiangxia to lose... Foolish brother..."

Before Xia Houyuan finished speaking, Cao Cao waved his hand, "I know what you are going to say. This time Xiangfan suffered such a big loss, and it is not just Zijian's fault. In the past two days, Gu has heard some rumors, saying It was Jingzhou that produced two great figures. All the civil and military officials in Cao Ying were fooled by these two people."

Speaking of this, Xia Houyuan said quickly: "Big brother is talking about Hong Qigong and Huang Laoxie, right?"

"Haha..." Cao Cao sneered, "Zixiao, Zihe, Gu's Manfujun, Gu's Tiebi, and Gu's son all suffered a lot from these two people. I want to meet them in person. , let’s see who is the master between ‘Hong Qigong’ and ‘Huang Laoxie’? How capable can they be?”

Xia Houyuan sighed: "This is probably the reason why my eldest brother really withdrew from Hanzhong."

"There is one more thing." Cao Cao took out Xiahou Dun's letter from his arms and handed it to Xia Houyuan, who quickly unfolded it.

But when I saw the line of text above, I was shocked.

"This...this?" Xia Houyuan's voice was hoarse.

"Haha." Cao Cao sneered: "In the past three years since the death of Xun Lingjun, how has the capital of Xu been peaceful? This time, Yuan Rang actually found 'dead soldiers' in Rangshan Mountain and in Luoyang City. This is someone We need to take a swipe at the cauldron of the Wei Dynasty! Someone is trying to put me to death!"

Speaking of this, Cao Cao's expression was angry...

Xia Houyuan asked back: "Is...his Majesty?"

"Although it may not be him, at least it has nothing to do with Han Ting?" Cao Cao's eyes narrowed into slits, "Gu... I also think that this matter may be somewhat involved in the fight for the Crown Prince of Wei!"

The fight for Crown Prince Wei was mentioned.

Xia Houyuan couldn't help but ask again: "Which young master is the elder brother interested in selecting for this heir apparent?"

"Haha..." This question made Cao Cao laugh out loud.

"Brother, why are you laughing?"

"Today Miaocai asked Gu, and Gu recalled that among all the officials in the Han Dynasty, only Xun Lingjun mentioned to Gu the matter of establishing a prince. Xun Lingjun suggested that I establish a eldest son, but one person suggested that I establish a virtuous one. !”

After hearing Cao Cao talk about these secrets, Xia Houyuan quickly asked: "Who suggested that the eldest brother 'establish virtuous people'?"

"——The ink mark still exists. This person has passed away. What a pity for Fengxiao!" Cao Cao said with emotion: "Now, I can no longer ask Fengxiao. He left the word 'Li Xian' to me. Who is it?" This is ‘virtuous’!”

Xia Houyuan's eyes flickered and he muttered: "My eldest brother always taught me when I was young, how to stabilize the country and the people and be a virtuous man. Among the eldest brother's princes, Zihuan, Ziwen and Zijian are the oldest and most talented. As for who is the oldest?" He is a true talent, and I need to investigate him carefully."

call…

Cao Cao took a deep breath and said loudly: "Ziwen refuses to study. After all, he is just a general. He is not as good as Zihuan and Zijian in military strategy. When Xiangfan was defeated, it seems that Zihuan was more stable."

"When Ke Gu establishes his hegemony, there will inevitably be too much killing. After Gu, Wei should be lenient. From this point of view, Zijian is more suitable."

At this point, Cao Cao sighed and said, "If Gu Na Chong'er hadn't died young, why worry about having no reserves to stand up?"

For a moment, Cao Cao showed great sadness and exhaustion.

"Brother..." Xia Houyuan still wanted to persuade.

Cao Cao waved his hand, "Don't mention it anymore, go back first, go back..."

At this point, Cao Cao got on his horse, reined in his horse and headed south, taking one last look back at the Shu Road, Bashu, and the land of abundance at the end of the Shu Road.

hehe…

There was another sneer, Cao Cao's eyes were deep, and he opened his mouth. There was a chill in his words, as if he was filled with infinite unwillingness and sadness.

Finally he opened his mouth - "There is no end to human suffering. Now that we have gained Longyou, do we...want to gain Shu again?"

When this sentence came out, the infinite unwillingness and sadness were mixed together, as if... they converged into a picture of "Although the turtle has a long life, it still has its time".

This scene is full of helplessness and desolation.

Later generations only said that "getting Long to look at Shu" was Cao Cao's sigh.

But who knows, the source of these words is a letter left by Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu before he left two hundred years ago after conquering Tianshui on his Western expedition:

——"If the two cities are lowered, we can send our troops south to attack the Shu captives. The people are suffering and are not satisfied. Now that we have leveled Long, we can look back to Shu."

——"Every time you send out troops, your head must be white."

Especially the last two sentences mean:

Every time a sergeant is drafted into the army, his hair and beard will turn gray in the years of war!

——Cao Cao is old!

——Cao Cao has to accept his old age!

——Although the turtle has a long life, it still has its time!

…

…

Changsha County, outside the Jingzhou First Official Medical Office, a lot of people suddenly gathered here, to be precise, many people in the apricot forest.

Everyone frowned and looked at the door of the medical department with longing eyes.

Some angrily shouted, "Master Guan, how can this doctor write half of the truth? What do you mean?"

"Yeah...what's the last part of "On Plagues"? Where did you write it for us?"

"There is nothing so appetizing!"

It seems that the crowd is excited...

A sense of déjà vu as "a knife is in hand" and "everyone is denouncing the broken dog".

Such a break is not illegal, but it is immoral!

How can any medical book stop abruptly at the most critical point?

It's like you're halfway through a novel and it suddenly stops - wouldn't the reader feel like it's stuck in your throat? Greeting you with frozen fish?

Lu Su and Zhuge Jin also heard the movement outside.

With Zhuge Jin's support, Lu Su slowly stood up and approached the door.

"This is…"

A personal guard quickly explained: "I heard that Fourth Young Master Guan gave each of these Xinglin doctors a medical book. It was very sophisticated, but it stopped abruptly at the most critical part... No, these doctors are all gathered here. Come to 'denounce' the Fourth Young Master Guan?"

Hearing this, Lu Su smiled faintly, "What is this denunciation for? The medical book was written by Guan Lin. If he doesn't finish it, what can these doctors do?"

Zhuge Jin replied: "You can't say that. Isn't this kid simply appetizing?"

Lu Su seemed to have seen through everything, "How can these doctors come if it doesn't interest people? These people in the apricot forest all claim to be noble, who can convince others? If you don't convince others...how can you join this official medical office?"

Although he had not been here long, Lu Su still figured out some things.

During this time, Guan Lin was preparing for the first official medical office in Jingzhou.

But it seems that the doctors are quite worried, and only a few join them.

Based on this major premise, let’s look at the scene in front of us.

Lu Su couldn't help but sigh: "As the saying goes - when Jiang Taigong fishes, whoever is willing will take the bait!"

Zhuge Jin smiled and said, "Tai Gong Jiang is fishing. The governor's opinion of the Fourth Master Guan is not low. If he is Tai Gong Jiang, then who is the governor?"

"Haha, I am the willing fish that takes the bait..." Lu Su replied without thinking.

As he said this, his mood became much brighter, and his eyes became more and more concerned about the situation here.

At this moment, a voice came out.

"Everyone, everyone..."

As soon as he heard that many doctors had gathered outside, Zhang Zhongjing ran out quickly and explained: "Everyone, please be patient and patient. The Fourth Young Master will be out soon. He will be out soon..."

At this time, an older doctor asked: "Miracle doctor Zhongjing? That "Treatise on Plagues" is so exquisite...who actually wrote it?"

Without thinking, Zhang Zhongjing said with emotion: "Who else, the Fourth Master of Sheguan, could write such an exquisite medical book? Many times, I was also surprised. I was surprised by how much Master Yunqi... contained in his stomach. Erudite medical knowledge? But... no matter what, this is the blessing of my Xinglin!"

Zhang Zhong is highly respected for his virtue and virtue.

When he said this, all the doctors closed their mouths and looked at the gate with more and more desire.

New doctors are constantly coming from the periphery to join this massive "denunciation of the broken dogs" action.

For a moment, it was eerily quiet near the door of the Medical Department, but outside... it was extremely noisy and uproar.

Over there...

In the medical office, Zhang Xingcai was polishing ink as usual, and Guan Lin was writing something on the paper.

Zhang Xingcai was grinding his ink while quietly reciting the words written by Guan Lin: "Soochow is about to raid Hefei. This is confidential news and must be spread to Fancheng as soon as possible."

Zhang Xingcai was shocked when he thought of this. "Yun Qi just said that you were the one who informed the Governor of Soochow that Zhang Liao was not in Hefei and advised Soochow to raid Hefei? Why now...are you telling Cao Wei about this?"

"Shh..."

Zhang Xingcai’s voice was loud.

Guan Lin covered her mouth and lowered his voice: "My aunt...please keep your voice down. The governor of Soochow lives in this medical office? If he hears it, it will be over. "

oh…

Zhang Xingcai shrank his neck, and the manly man suddenly turned into the look of a little girl who had done something wrong, lowering his head slightly.

But after a while, she couldn't help but asked in a low voice.

"What...what do you want to do?"

"You don't understand this." Guan Lin also replied in a low voice, and the two of them were like a close couple whispering. "Let me ask you this? How do you think the three pillars of Wei, Shu and Wu rank in terms of strength?"

"Then Cao Wei, who dominates the nine counties, must be the first. Uncle and Zhuge Military Advisor always said that the Sun family's foundation has gone through three generations and has a profound foundation. This is the second. Our Jingzhou and Bashu... our foundations are still shallow, so we can be considered the third..."

Just like Zhang Xingcai’s analysis…

Perhaps in the future, at the battle of Dingjun Mountain, after the Seventh Army was flooded, Shu Han will surpass Soochow and become the second largest existence.

But at least for now, including for a long time to come, when it comes to national power...Shu Han will rank third.

Guan Lin nodded and said: "So, what do you think we, as the third party, should do?"

"Let's fight No. 1! Keep weakening it and strengthening ourselves." As she spoke, Zhang Xingcai raised her fists. She felt that there was nothing that couldn't be solved with her fists.

Guan Lin waved his hand, "That's wrong. As the third one, we certainly have to fight the first one, but we can't do it alone, because while the boss is consuming, we the third ones are also consuming, which means we will hurt the enemy by a thousand. A way to do eight hundred harm to oneself.”

"What should we do?" Zhang Xingcai blinked with big eyes.

"Find a way to fool the first and second strikers." Guan Lin's eyes were firm, and he tapped the letter on the desk with his finger. Although his tone was low, the context was sonorous and powerful, "As long as the first and second strikers, One of them may make a profit, but we will never lose... This is the wisest strategy, exchanging the maximum consumption at the minimum price... This consumption will accumulate over time, and in the end... Haha..."

Guan Lin smiled lightly.

oh…

Zhang Xingcai suddenly realized, "I understand, what Brother Yun Qi means is that as long as there is a first and second fight, no matter who wins or loses, there will be losses. They may make a profit, but we will never lose... So... Yun Qi He first persuaded Soochow to attack Hefei, and then sent a letter to Jiangling asking Cao Wei to send troops to support Hefei. As soon as they went back and forth, they started fighting!"

"That's right...it's good to fight! I'm afraid they won't fight!"

Guan Lin nodded heavily and looked at Zhang Xingcai with approval.

I muttered in my heart.

——‘Although she is Uncle Zhang’s daughter and has inherited part of Uncle Zhang’s brain circuitry, her thinking is still very clear! 』

But... Zhang Xingcai was wrong about one thing.

That is, Guan Lin never intended to spread the news to Xiangfan.

On the contrary, this is Li Miao's opportunity.

Once used properly, it can help him get close to Cao Zhi quickly.

You know - providing help in times of need is always ten times more precious than the icing on the cake.

With this in mind, Guan Lin continued writing.

——"Take this as an opportunity... find an opportunity to secretly get close to Cao Zijian, help him rush to Hefei, and you will definitely win his favor! Become a guest of his shogunate, but there is a person Yang Xiu, you need to be careful, this person has some talents, But you are so arrogant about your talents that you cannot tolerate others!"

Just finished writing this...

Mi Yang and Mi Lu walked in.

Milu reported: "Fourth Young Master, many Xinglin doctors have gathered outside the door...it looks like they are coming in a menacing manner."

Mi Yang said, "Prefect Liao specially sent someone to ask the Fourth Young Master if he wanted to send someone to disperse them?"

"No need!" Guan Lin said as he dried the written letter and rolled it up...

He handed the letter to Mi Yang and ordered with great solemnity: "Send this letter immediately to Mr. Huang at Mianshui Villa on the outskirts of Jiangling City. He knows what to do."

"Here!" Mi Yang agreed quickly.

Mi Lu reminded: "Fourth Young Master, outside now..."

Before he could finish speaking, Guan Lin stood up slowly and said with a smile: "The fish finally took the bait...it would be boring to drive it away."

While laughing, Guan Lin walked out the door with dragon and tiger steps.

And with his appearance...

The clamoring voices outside the entire medical office suddenly fell silent.

Guan Lin seems to have been prepared...

Immediately, someone brought over a simple wooden "loudspeaker" and Guan Lin walked up to it.

"Hello--"

"Hey hey——"

He's auditioning...

And this sudden voice that expanded several times made all the doctors stunned...

——"The Fourth Young Master Guan has such a loud voice!" 』

Guan Lin said loudly in the eyes of everyone.

——"As you have guessed, this "On Plague" was written by me, and I deliberately wrote half of it... just to make you feel like it is 'caught in your throat', and to make you come to your door in person to 'denounce me'!"

Feeling confident...

Lu Su and Zhuge Jin were also there.

Hearing Guan Lin's words, these eight words immediately came to mind - infinite arrogance! Be confident!

Sure enough, Guan Lin's words caused an uproar in front of the whole door, and there was already a faint "public anger"!

His infinite arrogance...

It's like in a later Internet novel, a shady dog ​​author said to the respected, tall, handsome, dashing, wealthy, and talented reader:

——I broke the chapter, what can you do to me?

——Where can you send me the blade?

——You put me in a dark room?

——You have the ability to whip me with a whip?

This kind of dog author is so shameless!

And as the uproar in front of the door became louder and louder...

"Ahem, cough..." Guan Lin coughed again, and he opened his mouth and said: "Fellow Xinglin doctors, today I specially asked you to come to the front of the Jingzhou Official Medical Office to denounce me. It's not that I, Guan Lin, deserve a beating, but that I want to Let me tell you..."

Speaking of this, Guan Lin was so angry that his Dantian...

A powerful and thick voice came from his voice.

--"I have a dream!"

…

…
