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

Jiangling City, Fangguanyu.

There are servants who are preparing medicine newly obtained from the pharmacy of the official medical office, and there are also maids who are tidying the room.

Only Lu Su, with a heavy heart, carved a mark on the wooden frame with his sword and said quietly.

"Today is October 28th!"

Luo Tong, an official from Soochow on the side, glanced at the scratched shelf, put down the bamboo slips in his hand with concern, and sighed, "There are still ten days left before the bet between the Governor and the fourth son of Guan! Those more than 9,000 prisoners, It seems that he still has no intention of surrendering."

Luo Tong came to Jingzhou with Lu Su and Zhuge Jin. In the past, when Zhuge Jin was there, the son of Luo Jun, the former Prime Minister of the Chen Kingdom, was not always near the front, but always stayed aside in a low-key manner, listening more and talking less. , know it silently.

Now, Zhuge Jin sent a letter to Lu Meng and asked Luo Tong to take good care of the Governor of Lu.

Therefore, Lu Su is now surrounded by Luo Tong.

At this moment, following Luo Tong's words, Lu Su threw down his wooden sword and walked outside the door. Birds soared in the distant clear sky. He looked up at the sky and murmured: "Can Soochow accept the Guan Yun Banner?" The most important son-in-law will be announced in ten days."

at this time…

An urgent message arrived, which was transported by land and water. After Luo Tong received it, he quickly handed it to Lu Su.

Lu Su slowly unfolded it, and it didn't matter if he didn't unfold it. Once he unfolded it, he was startled, his legs staggered and he almost fell to the ground.

Luo Tong quickly supported him, "Grand Governor...what happened?"

Lu Su's chest was rising and falling. After pondering for a long time, he finally said: "Jiaozhou... The Lu family army in Jiaozhou was defeated..."

ah…

Luo Tongtong was stunned, but before he could wake up, Lu Su's voice came out again, "General Bu Zhi is dead, the head of the Lu family, Lu Ji, is also dead, and even Lu Boyan... was captured, but was released again." "Come out"

this…

Lu Su's words made Luo Tong feel incredible!

How is this possible?

Apparently some time ago, it was reported that Lu Ji had been rescued and Lu Xun could attack.

Throughout Soochow, all civil and military personnel were eagerly looking forward to a great victory in Yulin County, hoping to pacify Jiaozhou before the winter solstice and boost morale... and then join the army to go north to fight against Cao's thieves.

But now...this...what's going on?

Why...why did you lose?

Speaking of which, Luo Tong also experienced strong winds and waves.

When he was five years old, Yuan Shu borrowed grain from Chen, but Chen refused, so Yuan Shu assassinated Liu Chong, the leader of Chen, and Luo Tong's father, Luo Jun.

When Luo Tong was eight years old, Luo Tong's mother was valued by Hua Xin, an important official in Soochow, and took him as a concubine. Later, Hua Xin and his mother defected to Cao Cao, and Luo Tong, who did not want to live with his stepfather, stayed alone in Soochow.

When saying goodbye to his mother, her mother kept crying and shouting behind the car, but Luo Tong didn't look back. When the groom asked him, Luo Tong said, "I don't want to add more thoughts and sorrow to my mother!"

From then on, Luo Tong studied literature and martial arts for twelve years. Because he lived a miserable life since childhood, he had a benevolent heart.

This was valued by Lu Su and Zhuge Jin, and they recommended him to Sun Quan. He was highly trusted and appreciated by Sun Quan. Apart from Lu Xun and Zhuge Ke, he was one of the few famous young talents in Soochow.

It stands to reason that since he has been through so many things, he should be able to calm down when encountering trouble.

However, in the battle in Jiaozhou, Lu Xun and the Lu family army were defeated...

This heavy blow still shocked him.

He pondered for a moment and then opened his mouth: "The Governor of Lu said that it would be a disastrous defeat...but how could it be defeated? Jiaozhou has not fought a war for decades. Even if it is the defender of the city, how can it be experienced in hundreds of battles? Lu Jiajun’s opponent?”

Lu Su's eyes were lowered, "The urgent message only says that there is a divine arrow from the sky eight hundred steps away? But these words...do you believe it? Do I believe it? Will Marquis Wu believe it?"

His eyes were full of deep worry.

"Is the Governor afraid that Marquis Wu will lose Boyan?" Luo Tong and Lu Xun, both leaders of the younger generation, had a good personal relationship. When he asked this question, he also became worried.

"No," Lu Su said thoughtfully, "My lord may be angry and slanderous, but he still has Yuan Tan (Gu Yong), Zibu (Zhang Zhao), and Zigang (Zhang Hong) by his side. , with them here, even if the Lord is angry, he will calm down and wait for the truth to be spread back!"

"the truth?"

"Lu Ziming is in Yulin, he knows the truth best." Speaking of Lu Meng, Lu Su's mood calmed down a lot, "Unless Boyan really has a ghost and really has two minds, otherwise, according to Ziming's temperament I will not add insult to injury to my own people, let alone Zhuge Ziyu... He has already taken my letter to see Lu Ziming, I guess it is time to arrive..."

Having said that, Lu Su's heart was beating inexplicably, as if a deer was bumping into him, making him restless.

"well--"

With a faint sigh, Lu Su withdrew his eyes from looking at Luo Tong. He sighed heavily and thought deeply in his heart:

——"I hope...I hope I'm overthinking!" 』

——"I hope everything is safe and sound!" 』

…

…

Guangxin City is the seat of Cangwu County.

The so-called Cangwu, also known as Erythrina sinensis, is a kind of tree with conical thorns between its branches. There are many such things in Lingnan, so this is the name of the county.

At this moment, this city and county through which the Mengjiang River passes;

This is the city and county where the ancient Emperor Shun died while on a hunting tour in the south.

Within a few days, many fast horses came roaring and galloping.

Behind these fast horses are different forces, and behind these fast horses are hidden conspiracies, vertical and horizontal games...

A person can be a chess player one moment and become a chess piece the next moment.

At this moment, Lu Meng was playing chess with Zhuge Jin...

Speaking of which, Zhuge Jin was the second "outsider" he met today!

The one in front is Lu Yan...

Now Lu Xun was packing up the remnants of his army, and had run out of food and grass. He was temporarily stationed between Cangwu and Yulin counties. He sent his son Lu Yan to send a letter with a very clear attitude, which was to explain the truth of the matter.

He, Lu Xun, was defeated, but he had never acted disobediently or killed any dissenters.

Of course, what is included in this so-called truth.

——Bushan Castle in Yulin County shot a divine arrow from 800 paces away, like a divine arrow from heaven...

——A divine arrow knocked down the wooden tower and the mountains, allowing the stone steps to fall and drown the Lu family's army.

——There were also the tragic deaths of Bu Zhi and Lu Ji, the disintegration of the Lu family army, and even more, Lu Xun was buried in the stone steps and was captured by Jiaozhou. After being severely tortured, he was released.

And faced with such a letter and such an answer.

Lu Meng just asked indifferently.

Three questions.

The first question - "What kind of crossbow can shoot a powerful arrow from a distance of 800 steps?"

The second question - "When the stone steps fell, why did it happen to hit Lu Ji and Bu Zhi? You and your father? How come it's okay?"

The third question - "Why did the Jiaozhou scholar family let your father go after they used heavy punishment on your father? What kind of drama are your father and Jiaozhou doing? Is it a waste of time to exclude dissenters?"

Lu Yan's answer to this could only be that his father Lu Xun was also hit by the stone steps and still has no feeling in his left leg.

As for the first and third questions, Lu Yan really couldn't answer them.

At that time, Lu Meng nodded lightly. This letter explaining the truth made him more and more aware that Lu Xun had something going on in his heart! .

This is too much like a drama...

A play to eliminate dissidents at the hands of the enemy.

Lu Meng asked a third question, "Facts speak louder than words, and rumors can also be ruined by actions. The one-month period set by Wu Hou has not yet come. Is it possible that your father will lead the remaining troops to capture Yulin County? To avenge his shame. Also prove your innocence?"

Lu Meng was giving Lu Xun a chance.

However, Lu Yan could only shake his head helplessly, and he proposed the concept of "fear".

Yes, before you understand the divine arrow eight hundred steps away? The Lu family's soldiers were in panic, their morale was low, and they had no fighting spirit. Such a soldier? Can we still attack the city? Do you still dare to visit Bushan City in Yulin County?

In addition, Lu Yan also mentioned that his father Lu Xun’s legs.

Under such circumstances.

Can father give orders?

Can you lead?

——The generals cannot be unified, and the soldiers cannot fight? How to capture Yulin County? How to fulfill the one-month deadline?

At this point, the whole topic froze...

If the conversation continued, there seemed to be no progress. Lu Meng just said that he understood and asked Lu Yan to go down and rest until he investigated.

Of course, how could Lu Yan not know that this is called rest, but it is actually confinement?

Speaking of which, he is not afraid of confinement...

But he was afraid that the Lu family army would run out of food!

Lu Yan immediately asked Lu Meng for food, but Lu Meng's attitude was very firm. He would not distribute food until the matter was investigated clearly!

After that, his subordinates informed him that Zhuge Jin was here...bringing a letter from Governor Lu.

Lu Meng did not dare to neglect... He ordered his subordinates to "treat Mr. Lu Yan well", and then hurriedly left the military tent.

After that, there was a game between Lu Meng and Zhuge Jin.

As for this game of chess, Zhuge Jin could see that Lu Meng was in a heavy mood...

So, he took the initiative to suggest that they could relax and talk about business while playing chess.

At this moment, black and white are scattered across the seventeen roads, and the situation is intertwined...

Lu Meng frowned for a long time but still couldn't make a move. He put the chess pieces into the chess box uneasily (two sounds of "lian"). Zhuge Jin seemed to have seen through something and asked: "It seems that Boyan's case is not easy to solve..."

In the chess room, the two of them had been chatting for a while, talking about Lu Su's words, talking about the things that the wealthy families in Wu County valued, and talking about Lu Ji, which was indeed enough to make Lu Xun avoid him...

Lu Xun was not to blame for the previous slowness of the attack.

However, the development of the situation is no longer a problem of "Lu Ji" or a slow advance.

What's more, now the Lu family's army was defeated, Jiaozhou Yulin defended it, and even more so, Lu Ji lost... he was smashed into a pulp, and even the supervisor's infantry were dead.

In other words, the only truth left now is between Lu Xun and Lu Jiajun. How can we investigate this?

If the Lu family army is consistent from top to bottom, how can he, Lu Meng, find out the "truth"?

"I know what the Governor means. He wants to keep Lu Boyan, but Bu Zhao's death and Lu Ji's death cannot be forgotten. One is a clan member of the concubine favored by the Lord, and the other is a wealthy clan of Soochow. The influence is too great. ...At this time, if I sue him, Lu Xun, without any evidence, there will definitely be a large number of people responding, and one call will be responded to by hundreds of people... But..."

"But if I intercede for Lu Xun, if there is no direct proof, I will be accused of being complicit and complicit... Even I, Lu Meng, will be dragged into the water and betrayed by everyone. Under the current situation, I don't dare to wear this hat randomly. ah!"

"I understand..." Zhuge Jin nodded heavily. How could he not know Lu Meng's dilemma? "Now, firstly, the truth is not easy to investigate, and secondly, if the investigation comes out, if it is beneficial to Lu Xun, then who will believe it? And those eight The divine arrows from heaven a hundred steps away, and the arrows that shattered the mountains. Such words that a storyteller would randomly compile... not only can't convince others, but even I... can't convince myself! But..."

Zhuge Jin also put the chess pieces in his hands into the chess box, and spoke in a low voice, "What the governor wants to say is that there are not many leaders of the younger generation in Soochow. If you can save one, you should save one. Even if Boyan has some selfish intentions... I want to get rid of some people, but at least there is no evidence to prove that he is disloyal to Soochow, right?"

"What's more... what Ziming holds in his hands is not only the life of Lu Boyan, but also the thirty thousand Lu family troops, and even one hundred thousand civilians who are inextricably linked to the Lu family... Their lives! Now, the war in Huainan is about to break out. The big clan in Wu County cannot be in chaos, let alone unrest!"

At this point, Zhuge Jin's tone became solemn and meticulous, "Ziming doesn't want to see scenes like the bloody looting south of Yangzhou when Taishi Ci was in Yangzhou!"

Zhuge Jin said something very serious.

Especially when Taishi Ci was mentioned, Lu Meng seemed a little convinced. He said to himself with mixed emotions: "The Governor of Lu is still far-sighted. Maybe this is God's will! I just want to clear up this Lu Boyan. To me, Lu Meng, But it won’t be easy! If we get into trouble, then Governor Lu will be able to take action."

Lu Meng seemed to finally compromise.

at this time…

An adjutant broke into the camp here. When he saw Lu Meng, he was about to report it, but when he saw Zhuge Jin, he quickly took back what he was about to say.

"Tzuyu is not an outsider, but it doesn't matter..." Lu Meng ordered.

"Yes..." the adjutant reported truthfully, "According to the Malay report, Lu Xun's wife Sun Ru went to the northwest. It seems that the direction she went to is Jingzhou. I don't know whether she is going to Jiangling or Xiangyang!"

this…

Following this urgent report, Zhuge Jin and Lu Meng's expressions became condensed.

"Alas..." Lu Meng sighed deeply and muttered: "I'm afraid that Lu Boyan is a double-dealing person who is trying to seduce Qin and Mu Chu. If so, the Governor of Lu is just raising a tiger to cause trouble!"

A sudden "interlude" also made Zhuge Jin feel heavy.

He realized that no matter whether Sun Ru went to Xiangyang or Jiangling.

This all means...it is very possible that Governor Lu misjudged this Lu Boyan.

For a moment, Zhuge Jin's eyebrows also knitted deeply.

He was shaken!

…

Not long after, Zhuge Jin was led by the officers to rest, and Lu Meng also walked out of the military tent, followed closely by the confidant and adjutant who had just reported.

Lu Meng understood, "Is there anything else?"

"Yes!" The deputy general quietly took out a jade pendant from his arms. As the jade pendant was revealed, Lu Meng's pupils widened. He recognized that the jade pendant belonged to his legitimate son Lu Ba.

He asked in surprise: "Where did this jade pendant come from?"

The deputy general lowered his voice and said, "A messenger was sent from Jiaozhou, saying that in addition to bringing this jade pendant, he also brought handwritten letters from the two young masters..."

"He...where is he?" Lu Meng's brows furrowed deeply.

He could realize the meaning of the words of the Jiaozhou envoy and the weight of these words...

——His two sons, Lü Meng, are now in the hands of the Jiaozhou scholar family.

——Life and death all depend on the hands of the Jiaozhou scholar family.

Lu Meng was a filial person. In the eyes of the world, he was a good son, but he was also a loving father.

"The general has already led the envoy from Jiaozhou to the side room."

"Lead the way! Hurry-" Lu Meng's tone became urgent and nervous, and even his steps became low and heavy!

He realized...

Perhaps, he is about to make a more difficult choice!

…

…

Jiangling City, in the Guan Mansion.

Zhang Xingcai and Guan Yinping were polishing ink for Guan Lin. While polishing the ink, they were chatting and laughing quietly. They were talking about women, the topic of "blood is not wet".

Guan Lin is writing "The God of War: The Biography of Zhang Fei".

Because there is no need to think about the plot at all, Guan Lin writes quickly...

Five chapters a day, no problem.

Of course, considering that if historical records are followed, after Cao Cao withdrew from Hanzhong, a battle would break out in Bashu between his third uncle Zhang Fei and Zhang He at the Wakou Pass Battle!

Considering the final result of this battle, the third uncle Zhang Fei won the battle with "rough but careful"...

Therefore…

In fact, Guan Lin doesn't need to pay special attention to the details. As long as the third uncle clicks normally and performs normally...

However, there is one thing...

In Guan Lin's view, this battle actually gave him a chance to capture and even kill the enemy general Zhang He.

Of course, this requires more careful deployment, and the planning requirements are relatively high.

It seems that the third uncle Zhang Fei is both rough and fine, and it is good to have him for a while. It is also difficult for him to perform beyond his level.

Rather…

In this "God of War: The Biography of Zhang Fei", Guan Lin can be mentioned a little bit.

As long as Sanshu Zhang can memorize a few things, he can understand a few things.

What if we capture this He?

Without this cunning five-son general, how much trouble can be saved in the future?

Of course, if you catch it, you will gain blood, and if you fail to catch it, you will not suffer any loss.

Just when Guan Lin was writing the "novel", Zhuge Ke suddenly ran over in a hurry. "Master Yunqi, here you come, here you come..."

——"What's coming?" 』

Guan Lin is confused...

Zhuge Ke couldn't help but said with joy: "The news of Cao Wei's "Widow Recruitment Order" has spread. The entire Cao Wei Dynasty has been recruiting widows, forcibly severing their relationship with their families, and granting unmarried wives to all military households. If there is a meritorious military household, an additional concubine will be given as a gift!"

"And... there are also these nine thousand captives. They... they have received letters from the wives and daughters of the north... It was passed quietly through merchants. It is said that it is Cao Cao's rebellious behavior. This "Order to Conquer Widows" Next, the local government actually... not only recruited widows, but also living wives, the wives and daughters of these captives were also recruited... Every word in the family letter is extremely sad!"

As Zhuge Ke said...

The "Order to Recruit the Widows" promulgated by Cao Cao alleviated the problem of insufficient military households and low morale of the armed forces to a certain extent. It even used the growth of military households to counter the intensifying resistance of those aristocratic families!

From a political perspective, it is positive.

But... from the perspective of the people, from the perspective of the widow, from the perspective of the living wife, this is nothing less than a nightmare.

Could it be...

These women are just puppets on strings. They have no choice. They can be given to others at will...are they reduced to tools for reproduction?

In fact, Guan Lin also hated the "Order to Conquer Widows" promulgated by Cao Wei...

But I hate it so much, I hate it so much!

Guan Lin's position is that of Shu Han, and his position determines that he does not need to help Cao Cao avoid this pitfall.

Besides, regardless of whether there is Guan Lin or not, and whether there is Li Miao or not, Cao Cao will implement the "Order to Conquer the Widows". This is Cao Wei's national policy... and it is also the only way for Cao Wei to ease conflicts and maintain a steady stream of military households.

——"This east wind has finally arrived!" 』

now…

Guan Lin's eyes suddenly narrowed.

At the same time, my heart started to throb.

On the other hand, Zhang Xingcai and Guan Yinping, when they heard this... couldn't help but clench their fists and angrily reprimanded Cao Cao for his behavior.

"Isn't this traitor Cao too rebellious? He...what does he think of women?"

"It's not women, it's... those who are wives... Can't those widows guard their dead beloved men? What's more, there are actually... living wives!"

Zhang Xingcai and Guan Yinping each said one sentence...their tone was full of resentment towards Cao Cao.

Guan Lin just shook his head lightly.

Again, out of the fifteen wives of Cao Cao in his life, twelve were widows.

There are many "living wives" such as Du Shi, the wife of cuckold Qin Yilu.

He understands widows so well, and he also knows how to take advantage of them!

This is the character of Cao Wei!

Passed down to three generations!

In Guan Lin’s opinion…

It seems that Sister Xingcai and Sister Yinping, two young ladies, how can they understand the happiness of thief Cao?

"Ahem..."

With a slight cough, Guan Lin asked Zhuge Ke: "Is there any movement over there with the nine thousand captives..."

"Yes..." Zhuge Ke replied: "It's just that because they just received the news, more prisoners don't believe it..."

"That's okay..." Guan Lin spread his hands, "Wait a little longer and let Cao Wei's "Order to Conquer Widows" fly for a while longer!"

"I think, very soon...these nine thousand captives will be shaken and collapsed, and after the collapse, with infinite hatred, they will point the finger at Cao Cao——"

This time, Guan Lin gambled...

These nine thousand captives did not perish in silence, but broke out in silence——

…

…
