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

——King Guan beheaded Diao Chan under the moonlight.

This story takes place within a month after Lu Bu's death.

But in fact, after capturing Xiapi, Cao Cao only stayed in Xiapi for more than thirty days, and then immediately returned to the court.

Guan Yu promised Diao Chan and handed over Lingju to her, but time did not allow it!

After failing to find Lingju immediately, Guan Yu followed his elder brother and Cao Cao back to Xudu. He didn't even have time to tell Diao Chan.

This also quickly put his promise on hold.

Of course, Guan Yu also investigated the matter after that and concluded that Lingju suddenly and mysteriously disappeared in Xiapi City.

He wanted to continue investigating.

Two more incidents, the "Conspiracy with the Edict on Clothes" and "Cooking Green Plums with Wine", occurred. Cao Cao's words, "The only heroes in the world are your envoy and Cao'er" made Liu Bei realize that he must escape from Xudu quickly.

After that, Liu Bei used an excuse to intercept the remnants of Yuan Shu and left with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Naturally, the Lingju incident was settled.

Although it was "let go", Guan Yu had always thought about it over the years, and it was one of the few things he felt guilty about.

Even after he committed himself to Cao Ying, beheaded Yan Liang and Wen Chou, passed five passes, and beheaded six generals, Guan Yu always remembered this matter and investigated it secretly, but...it has been so long, how can he still investigate it?

Guan Yu told Diao Chan the whole story.

Diao Chan had no intention of blaming, but just shook her head, "Fifteen years ago, General Guan saved me, and fifteen years later, Master Yunqi saved my adoptive father, and even helped me find the daughter I longed for. How dare you blame General Guan for retribution? General Guan and his son are the benefactors of me and Lingju!"

Following Diao Chan’s words…

At this moment, Lingju already understood everything.

The guilt and regret in her heart had permeated her whole body, and the throbbing in her heart seemed to be converted into strength, like a volcano erupting, quickly restoring her strength.

She coughed desperately, "Cough cough... cough cough..."

Diao Chan was overjoyed when she heard her cough...

——Fight poison with poison, don’t be afraid of coughing, just be afraid of not saying a word!

She quickly turned her head and looked at Lingju's cheek with her beautiful eyes.

But what surprised her was that Lingju's eyes were open, and those weak eyes were looking at her.

Mother and son looked at each other with their eyes... It was like a thousand words gathered in these eyes.

"Ju'er...Ju'er——"

Lingju wanted to speak, but found that his breath was a little short, and he couldn't help coughing twice, but it affected the wound on his shoulder, which seemed very painful, and his body was also very weak, as if he had lost all time.

As the saying goes - the disease is gone like silkworms, that's what it looks like.

It was also rare for Guan Yu, that everlasting paralyzed face looked extremely concerned at this moment, concerned about the improvement of Lingju's condition.

Ten breaths…

Twenty breaths…

This strange atmosphere lasted for twenty breaths.

Finally, Lingju said in an extremely soft tone: "I heard it all, mother, I...I'm a little hungry!"

This sentence "I heard it all", and this sentence "Mother"...

When these two sentences reached Diao Chan's ears, Diao Chan burst into tears...

She pursed her lips, couldn't help but cover her cheek with one hand, and couldn't help crying.

During this time, the voice of a mother crying with joy kept coming out.

Fifteen years!

Fifteen years!

Who can understand the enthusiasm and throbbing in the heart of a mother who has been searching for her daughter for fifteen years when she finds her daughter and reunites her daughter?

It's still Lingju, she comforted in an extremely weak voice.

"Mom, don't cry, my daughter... my daughter still needs to cheer up..."

Speaking of this, Lingju looked sideways at Guan Yu, with an extremely complex look in her eyes.

It felt like an apology, like annoyance, but more like endless gratitude.

She murmured: "Mom...Mom, don't cry. Mom, cheer up...brace yourself, we...we still want to repay two...two benefactors!"

The sound is as thin as a gossamer.

But the tone seemed sonorous and powerful.

One of the two benefactors Lingju mentioned was Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang in front of him.

The other one is none other than Guan Lin Guan Yunqi!

…

…

Fancheng, Cao Cao has arrived here.

He never walked at night, so he arrived in the city late at night.

It was late at night, and Cao Cao seemed a little tired. He was lying on the couch, his eyes closed, and his face was like an old man's.

In such an unfavorable situation, he seemed unusually calm and composed.

Or perhaps, he, Cao Cao, knew that as long as he could hold on, the entire Central Plains and the North, and half of the Nine Provinces in his hands, would be safe!

At this moment, Cao Cao's heavy breathing kept coming...

As his chest rose and fell, there seemed to be some supreme power surrounding his body.

This made him look more majestic and terrifying with his eyes closed than with his eyes open!

Cao Cao seemed to be taking a nap, but the school officials in front of him unfolded their scrolls one by one and reported them one by one.

The first school official reported: "Master Zijian and Yang Xiu rushed to the Forbidden Army Camp in Runan. Master Zijian held a forged handwritten letter from the prime minister. Yang Xiu killed a deputy general with his sword, forcing the Runan army to rush to Xiangfan. Indirectly As a result, General Yu Jin who came from Xu Capital City had no troops to mobilize, and the northern border of Jiangxia was isolated and helpless, and all of them fell!"

Along with his words, the picture scroll in his hand suddenly appeared.

It depicts Yang Xiu swinging his sword to kill the deputy general of Runan Army.

The second school official reported: "It has been found out that it was Liu Zhen who brought Li Miao from Jiangling to Xiangfan, and it was Liu Zhen who introduced him to Master Zi Huan..."

The hand scroll unfolded, showing Li Miao handing a bamboo slip to Cao Pi.

There are five big characters clearly written on the bamboo slips - Ninth Grade Official Law!

The third school official reported back: "After the fall of Jiangxia, Master Zijian and Yang Xiu were drinking in Zuixian Tower. Li Miao was drinking late at night. The poems he recited attracted the attention of Master Zijian. Li Miao fell drunk, and Master Zijian sent him away. Entering the wing, when he woke up... Li Miao dedicated this plan to Master Zijian to mobilize troops to aid Shouchun! He said that this plan could make up for his fault... The next day, Master Zijian and Yang Xiu once again forged the prime minister's handwriting to mobilize soldiers and horses... to aid Shouchun. Spring, after the fall of Hefei, Shouchun was saved!"

Different from the first two school officials, this school official unfolded three pictures.

The two are Li Miao drunkenly offering advice;

Cao Zhi and Yang Xiu mobilized their troops again;

Yu Jin took over the troops in Runan, set up camp and Shouchun City as horns with each other, and the Soochow army retreated in great numbers.

"Anymore?"

Cao Cao became a little impatient after hearing this.

actually…

Just before the school affairs office reported these difficult secrets, Cao Cao had already summoned the generals left in Fancheng.

Such as Zhao Yan, such as Gao Lan, such as Zhang Liao...

What they report is on the surface.

For example, how brave Guan Yu was, how he killed Niu Jin and Wenpin one after another, how Man Chong and Lu Chang fell into the trap and died;

For example, the batch of ordnance made by Huang Laoxie is so miraculous.

Among them, why are repeating crossbows and sidecars the nemesis of cavalry? How can wooden oxen and flowing horses easily transport grain and grass? The dangerous shoals are as muddy as walking on flat ground;

Another example is how Xiangyang stole the crossbow, how it fell into Huang Laoxie's trick, how the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry died in the Sunset Valley, and how Cao Chun and Cao Ren fainted one after another.

There was even an ambush from all sides laid by Zhang Liao and others in Fancheng, and Guan Yu claimed to attack east and west, nominally attacking Xiangyang, but in fact the army reached Jiangxia.

These... all were included in the original emergency reports, but most of them were conclusions.

This time, Cao Cao finally heard all the details.

He also realized a serious problem.

Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang, who have always been upright and upright, have actually begun to plot and scheme... This is not good news.

And these were all reported by the generals, openly.

Today's school affairs office reports secretly.

These are what interest Cao Cao even more!

"No more?" Cao Cao asked again...

At this time, a new school official walked in quickly and quickly added: "Just before the Prime Minister arrived, Li Miao made an appointment with Yang Xiu again, and finally Mr. Zijian also arrived, and the three of them seemed to be having a great conversation! "

As he spoke, the school official unfolded the picture.

At some point, Cao Cao's eyes had opened, and his eyes were fixed on the last picture.

Above is a scene of Cao Zhi and Li Miao hugging each other in a room on the second floor of a wine shop, as if they were in a "deep relationship between master and servant".

"Haha..." Seeing this, Cao Cao laughed.

He sighed towards Cheng Yu beside him: "Zhongde, look at it, Xiangfan, Nanyang, and Jiangxia have not been peaceful during this period. Guan Yu has also learned to use conspiracies and tricks. These are all shocking to Gu, but only this Fancheng Among them, only the two sons Li Miao and Gu, their scenes are the most exciting!"

As Cao Cao spoke, he waved his hand to ask these school officials to leave.

Cheng Yu's face looked strange, and he sighed: "I have a feeling that I don't know whether to talk about it or not."

"Speak!" Cao Cao ordered directly.

Cheng Yu paused for a moment, and then said in deep thought: "I think it is a tragedy to lose Jiangxia and lose troops and generals, but this Li Miao courted Qin Muchu and played double-dealing, toying with the two young masters Zi Huan and Zijian. His heart can be killed!"

"What a man who is so duplicitous towards Qin and Mu Chu, what a man who has a heart that can be punished!"

Cao Cao's eyes narrowed slightly and his tone raised.

But just for a moment, "Hahaha..." he laughed heartily, "Zhongde, when Gu Cuo killed Lu Boshe, Chen Gongtai and Chen Gongtai questioned Yu Gu, and Gu told him, 'Since ancient times, he has been a traitor and a loyal person. Falsehood seems to be true, and loyalty and evil cannot be seen from the surface." He Chen Gongtai misjudged me Cao Cao 'yesterday', and misjudged me Cao Cao again today, and he was finally hanged on that white gate tower. ! But I will always be lonely, and I am never afraid of others misunderstanding me! Now it seems that Li Miao’s courage is a bit like when he was young! "

this…

"A great traitor seems like loyalty, a great hypocrisy seems like truth", Cao Cao's words seemed a bit meaningful when they were introduced to Li Miao.

"Prime Minister, do you think..." Cheng Yu asked tentatively.

"Don't be too busy guessing." Cao Cao said with a smile: "I am determined, tonight we will have a conclusion on whether Li Miao is loyal or traitorous!"

really…

Just when Cao Cao was having a chat with Cheng Yu.

After receiving the news, Cao Pi came in a hurry. He was about to rush into Cao Cao's study in a hurry, but a tiger soldier hurriedly reached out to stop Cao Pi.

"The man with five senses will stay!"

Cao Pi said angrily: "Get out of the way!"

At this time, Xu Chu walked out of the door and opened his mouth.

"Master Zihuan, the Prime Minister is discussing something. General Rong Mo will go and report it first, okay?"

Seeing Xu Chu, Cao Pi took a deep breath and calmed down.

Calm down the impatient mood.

He patted the "Nine-Rank Officials Law" hidden in his sleeves, bowed and said:

"You have Lao Huhou!"

In the study room, Cao Cao's voice continued, "Li Miao offered two strategies to Zijian. One of them has worked, but what is the other one? Gu is really looking forward to it! Also, the book he presented to Zi Huan What does the "Law of the Ninth Grade Officials" mean? Haha, whether he is a man of two ends, or whether he is good at maneuvering, I will soon find out!"

At this time, Xu Chu came in and reported, "Prime Minister, the man with five sense organs will ask to see you."

Cao Cao smiled at Cheng Yu, "Look, Gu's son can't hold his breath anymore. Zhongde, please go down first!"

Cheng Yu asked for instructions: "Prime Minister, do you want me to go and investigate this Li Miao? And...that Liu Zhen? It seems that Liu Zhen is very close to Master Zi Huan?"

Cao Cao understood that it was about Zihuan and Zijian, and even Cheng Yu couldn't hold his nerve this time and wanted to test his words.

He glanced at Cheng Yu coldly, "A Li Miao? Isn't it enough for the school affairs office to investigate?"

Cheng Yu was shocked. He understood that what Cao Cao hated the most was others trying to figure out his inner thoughts. Knowing that he had violated a taboo, he hurriedly said: "I made a mistake, but I am aware of my sin!"

Cheng Yu bowed and retreated, and Xu Chu asked for instructions: "Prime Minister, do you want to arrange for Mr. Zihuan to come in?"

"No!"

Cao Cao smiled and waved his hand, "Wait a minute Zijian!"

Sure enough, as Cao Cao expected, Cao Zhi also came after hearing the news. Suddenly he saw his younger brother Cao Zhi arriving. Cao Pi hurriedly greeted him. He knew that Cao Zhi must have something important to come here at this time.

Even an emergency military intelligence report.

Cao Pi looked kindly: "Zijian also heard that his father has returned?"

Cao Zhi said: "Yes, please say hello and go back."

Both brothers hesitated to speak. Finally, Cao Pi nodded and stood respectfully waiting.

Cao Zhi came to the door and said to the doorman, "Can I ask this sergeant to report it?"

"The Prime Minister said that there is no need to announce the Fourth Young Master's arrival. Young Master, please come in!"

The Tiger Soldier stepped aside to make way.

Cao Zhi arrived later than Cao Pi, but entered calmly before Cao Pi. This slight difference fell in Cao Pi's eyes, making him feel nervous and aggrieved.

——"Zijian is a guilty person, but I...I am a meritorious person!" 』

For a moment, Cao Pi couldn't help but clenched his fists and bit his lip with his teeth.

at this time.

Xu Chu walked out and said: "The prime minister summons the generals with five sense organs..."

Cao Pi then raised his eyes and quickly took a few steps to follow Cao Zhi.

He didn't know why Cao Zhi came here tonight?

But... none of these matter to him, Cao Pi.

Because Cao Pi came here tonight to bet that the "Nine Rank Officials' Law" presented by Li Miao could give him an advantage in the fight for the heir apparent.

It can also help him - ride the wind.

…

…

High-end ingredients often require only the simplest cooking methods.

In Jiangling City, in the Mi family's mansion, the most high-end ingredients are placed on the table, using the simplest "steaming" method to form a feast.

There are also countless...precious ancient stones that are placed everywhere, which is dizzying for everyone.

Mi Fang and Fu Shiren sat on one side, and Guan Lin sat on the other side.

It seemed that the three of them were having a great time talking to each other.

Of course...it's easy to understand.

All three of them are keen on making money. When it comes to making money, the three of them hit it off immediately.

The only difference is that Guan Lin pays attention to a gentleman who loves money and gets it in a proper way...

What Fu Shiren and Mi Fang pay attention to is...

Pooh…

They are very particular about caterpillars!

As long as you can make money, arms trading is not a problem, you can do anything.

"Uncle Zifang, General Fu...you ask me why I want to sell the 'Bloodless' to the Central Plains and the North. It's actually very simple. The first one is the material...Although the 'Bloodless' uses very little cloth," Cloth is an extremely rare material. If it is produced on a large scale, a large amount of cloth will be consumed. Instead of using cloth and other materials from Jingzhou and Yizhou, it is better to use those from the Central Plains and the North!"

"The second one is iron iron. I'll continue the topic just now. I'll use materials from the north and the Central Plains to produce this 'blood-not wet', and then sell it to them at a high price. As long as there is profit, these businessmen will help me purchase the materials from the north and the Central Plains. Iron and steel, these are extremely rare...Similarly, this can form the most perfect closed loop."

"Use the materials from the north to make money from the north, use the money from the north to exchange the iron from the north, then use the iron from the north to make weapons and armor, and then capture the land in the north... This is an extremely perfect closed loop!"

"The third one is dependence... You only know that swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and spears can hurt people, but you don't know that commodities can also hurt people, and money can hurt people even more! I will leave these words here, as long as we have With enough money, as long as our business is big enough, Cao Cao can withstand my father's attack, but he may not be able to withstand our trade war. Trade wars are impossible to prevent!"

Speaking of which…

Guan Lin blinked his eyes, as if he had finished answering, and waited for Mi Fang and Fu Shiren to continue asking questions.

Sure enough, Fu Shiren asked: "What is a trade war?"

"Let me make a metaphor for this." Guan Lin tried to explain: "Dong Qi Huan during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period...do you know that young master Xiaobai?"

"At that time, Lu State and Liang State were two small countries on the border of Qi State. Qi Huangong wanted to capture Qi and Lu, so he asked Guan Zhong about it. Guan Zhong used a trade war, commercial war... To put it simply The people of the two kingdoms of Lu and Liang were good at weaving 'Ti', so Duke Huan of Qi wore clothes made of 'Ti' and ordered his ministers to also wear 'Ti' clothes!"

"If there is a way, it will be effective from above. Sure enough, when the people of Qi saw that their monarch and his ministers were all wearing silk clothes, they followed suit one after another. When Qi's demand for silk increased significantly, , Duke Huan of Qi further ordered that the people of Qi State were strictly prohibited from producing rice cakes. If the people of Qi State needed to buy rice cakes, they could only buy them from the State of Lu or the State of Liang. What consequences did this have?"

Speaking of this, Guan Lin paused.

Mi Fang and Fu Shiren were very interested.

They all said in unison: "What are the consequences?"

Guan Lin continued: "The consequence is that the smart people of the Lu and Liang countries discovered that the profits from the sale of weaving tapes were much higher than the income from farming. Because of their profit-seeking nature, the people of the Lu and Liang countries... all gave up farming. Turn to vigorously develop the weaving industry! And the consequence of this is that in just two years, almost no one in the Lu and Liang countries farmed anymore, the entire two countries were in depression, and the people were in a state of hunger for a long time, and they could not solve the problem of food and clothing! "

"In this case, Qi State only needed a little pressure, and the people of Lu and Liang surrendered almost without bloodshed! This is a trade war, a commercial war, and a way to capture the city without bloodshed."

ah…

ah…

Following Guan Lin's words, Mi Fang and Fu Shiren's eyes widened.

It's like opening the door to a new world.

Fu Shiren asked in shock: "According to what Mr. Yunqi said, if our wealth is huge enough, can we purchase a certain item vigorously and paralyze Cao Wei's agriculture?"

"Theoretically, it's possible." Guan Lin nodded slightly, "However, this requires too much money, and it can't be done with three melons and two dates. I give this example just to let you know that my father's soldiers and horses can Attack the city and capture the land, the three of us, once the trade and commerce on this ship are completed, even if Cao Cao is suddenly tickled, it will be detrimental! It is impossible to guard against it!"

Speaking of which, Guan Lin picked up a piece of "steamed fresh fish" with his chopsticks...

He sighed: "Actually, to be honest, why do I always feel that my father is a reckless man without a brain? It's because he read "Spring and Autumn" and read Hammer... As long as you read it with your heart, Even if you lose it, you will know the horror of the trade war, and know that making money... is the top priority! Learn martial arts, haha, learning martial arts can't save the big man!"

Speaking of which…

Mi Fang quickly agreed: "Making money is the right thing to do. On this point, the three of us have the same view as heroes!"

Fu Shiren also said with emotion: "You are right, this cup of Jingyun Banner, I have been fighting with Xuande Gong for thirty years, and this is the first time I have heard such a refreshing theory!"

"What kind of theory is this?" Guan Lin waved his hand and said with emotion: "The so-called... high-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods, and the same is true for siege... My father struggled to pull it off, but it was nothing. Capture one or two cities, but we can paralyze the entire Cao Wei!"

Another feeling...

Guan Lin, on the other hand, had just heard the words "Xuan Degong" from Fu Shiren's mouth.

Guan Lin simply added a question. "General Fu, I remember that just after we sat down, you asked me...why you have been with Xuande Gong for so many years but have not been reused?"

Well…

Has the topic suddenly become so sensitive?

Fu Shiren nodded quickly.

"Does Master Yunqi know? I would like to hear the details!"

"Actually, it's very simple." Guan Lin waved his hand, and he suddenly stood up and said loudly: "There is only one reason, because my uncle is blind!"

"Otherwise, how could he not see the 'Wolong' and 'Fengxiao' in front of me!"

just like…

At this moment, Wolong and Fengchu, because of Mi Fang and Fu Shiren, were given a new definition again and again!

Guan Lin pondered.

——『Let’s capture these two like this! 』

——'As the old saying goes, high-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods. For low-end ingredients, just spend money on them. If you don’t keep them all, you will become the ‘Wolong’ and ‘Fengxiao’ in the business field! 』

…

…
