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

They set up an ambush at the "Three Pools Yuxiu" in Guangshui County, where the mountains are steep, the forests are lush, the streams are quiet and the springs are clear, to plunder the enemy's food and grass.

This was Zhuge Ke's initiative to ask for help, and because he didn't know whether the intelligence was true or false, Zhuge Ke only brought a small group of troops to rob the grain.

Ever since he defeated Anlu City, Guan Lin had been a little on tenterhooks, fearing that something might happen to Zhuge Ke. Losing this "Lantian Beautiful Jade" talent was second of all, and the most important thing was that he couldn't explain it to Zhuge's military advisor.

Therefore, Guan Lin had been standing on the tower when he suddenly saw Zhuge Ke's victorious troops from a distance. He was surprised and called Zhang Xingcai and the soldiers beside him to go down to the tower to greet them.

Zhuge Ke was in high spirits and returned triumphantly with a team of a thousand people. He also escorted dozens of carts of grain and grass, as well as dozens of captured Cao's soldiers.

Seeing Guan Lin, Zhuge Ke dismounted with a smile, cupped his hands and said, "According to the master's instructions, we captured thirty-seven people from Cao's army, and more than three thousand kilograms of food and grass. Our army did not lose one person or one horse."

Hearing such a battle report, Guan Lin quickly helped Zhuge Ke up, "Thank you for your hard work..."

He took Zhuge Ke and walked into the government office.

Zhuge Ke reminded in a low voice: "So we can be sure that Zhu Ling's surrender is true, right?"

Guan Lin pondered for a moment, and then said softly: "One robbery of food can't explain anything. Try him a few more times."

Luo Tong of Soochow on the side felt uncomfortable when he saw such high-spirited Zhuge Ke.

It's no wonder that he and Zhuge Ke are the same age, but now Zhuge Ke can already command the army alone, but he... is still just...

Lu Su also boasted at the right time: "At Yuan Xun's age, it is difficult to entrust him with important responsibilities in Soochow, but Jingzhou is different. The Jiangxia governor here is also a young man of this age. Doesn't it give young talents room to develop?" ? Yuan Xun also strives for success. He robbed Cao's army of food and fodder in this way and found out its authenticity. It can be said that he is young and promising, and his contribution is indispensable..."

Luo Tong lowered his head and said dullly, "If it were me... I could do it..."

Because the voice of this sentence was very low, even Lu Su couldn't hear it clearly, "Gongxu? What did you say?"

Luo Tong quickly changed his words: "I say... Yuan Xun is worthy of being a member of the Langya Zhuge clan. He is capable of both literary and military skills and has a rich family background..."

"Are you envious of him?" Lu Su saw what Luo Tong meant.

"No..." Luo Tong pursed his lips.

"Don't lie to me." Lu Su looked at Guan Lin's back, "Following Mr. Yunqi, Yuan Xun's path has been broadened. Needless to say, even I envy him -"

…

…

In Yu Jin's military tent, Yu Jin was looking at the map.

Suddenly, the deputy general Dong Heng personally tied up a deputy general, Wu Huada, and barged in. Dong Heng also knelt down with a face full of shame and apologized: "I, the deputy general, was escorting grain and grass, but I was attacked at the Santan Waterfall in Guangshui County, and hundreds of carts were lost. If you lose food and lose men and horses, please let me, the general, punish you together!"

Yu Jin quickly helped Dong Heng up and comforted him: "I already know about this. It's a bandit attack. They laid an ambush along the grain road in advance. It's not the general's fault. You guys should go back and rest for a while before going to transport grain!"

Dong Heng was stunned and puzzled, "Yes, but the grain road has been discovered by Jingzhou soldiers. I'm afraid Guan Lin will send people to intercept and kill him again..."

Yu Jin smiled and said to the deputy general: "General, please be careful. If you are intercepted and killed, don't fight. Self-preservation is the first priority. As for the meager grain and grass, just give him Guan Lin!"

Yu Jin, who had always run the army in a strict manner, suddenly showed a casual attitude, which made Dong Heng and the lieutenant general confused.

When going out.

The deputy general asked Dong Heng, "General... how to transport this food?"

Dong Heng pondered for a moment, "Next time when I transport food, I will also set up an ambush at Santan Waterfall... If the enemy doesn't come, we will be there. If they come, they will never come back!"

…

Guan Lin and Lu Su were interrogating the prisoners captured by Zhuge Ke, and heard one of them whisper: "My general expected a thief... No, he expected General Guan Ping to be stationed in the other cities in Jiangxia, and the prefect of Anlu City Pass had few soldiers. We will not take the initiative to attack rashly, so we transported grain and grass from Nanyang in several routes to prepare for a protracted war! I never thought that Prefect Guan would take the initiative to attack... and plunder the grain road."

Lu Su asked quietly: "What about the other grain roads? Do you know about them?"

"I don't know!"

The words just fell.

With a "snap" sound, the whip fell to the ground and made a "snap" sound. Zhang Xingcai held the iron whip and said with a sneer, "If you don't do it honestly, you will suffer physical pain."

Guan Lin glanced at Zhang Xingcai, "You can't do this..." After pondering for a moment, he said, "Let them go, serve them with food and wine, and send the horses back..."

ah…

Zhang Xingcai was shocked and asked: "Since he is a prisoner? Why not kill him?"

Guan Lin said quietly, "Then Cao Cao issued the "Widow Recruitment Order". If a widow is a widow, she will be forcibly recruited and forced to remarry... If I kill them, what will happen to their wives and daughters? Isn't this destroying these dozens of families? What?"

When the prisoners heard this, they hurriedly bowed their heads and thanked them, "Thank you, Governor Guan... Many thanks, Governor Guan..."

After the prisoners were beaten down, Lu Su said with a smile, "Yun Qi has such a clever trick to attack the heart!"

Guan Lin sighed, "I only hope that my merciful heart can relax Cao Wei's army!"

Speaking of this, he ordered the generals, "Anyone who captures Cao's army in the future must be treated kindly..."

"Here——"

All the soldiers surrendered.

Zhuge Ke, on the other hand, was in high spirits because of this great victory. He was inevitably more eager to try, and he quickly said: "I will go to rob the enemy's food tomorrow..."

"I'm not busy..." Guan Lin waved his hand gently, "Wait one more day... before going!"

Zhuge Ke heard what Guan Lin meant...

Just wait a little longer for the new information from Zhu Ling.

With this information... robbing the enemy's food is almost foolproof!

…

…

Cao Pi and a group of civil and military officials accompanying the army finally arrived in Luoyang.

Since Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang, it has become an empty city. The empty houses are uninhabited, and some still have traces of burning. On the wide streets, a few ragged people and unkempt children looked at them in surprise. This illustrious team.

Cao Pi got off the carriage, and Li Miao, Liu Zhen, and Wu Zhi also got off the carriage. They walked to Cao Pi's side together, and everyone looked at this once gorgeous capital with melancholy and sadness.

Of course, Li Miao was filled with deep sadness as he pondered.

——"This is a new starting point and a new battlefield!" 』

Cao Pi was born in Luoyang, which was the fourth year of Zhongping in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

According to his mother, Mrs. Bian, the year he was born, there was a blue cloud hanging over his head for a whole day, shaped like the top of a carriage and horse...

The sorcerer with "Wang Qi" came to see the good or bad luck. When he saw the cloud cover, his face was filled with solemnity, thinking that this little baby was extraordinary.

Cao Song was very happy to hear this and asked the warlock what was the future of this child?

Can he catch up with his ancestors and become a trusted minister of the emperor?

The magician shook his head repeatedly and replied: "This is not a cloud worthy of a human minister, but a sign of the most noble and noble master.

This sentence made the entire Cao Mansion look in awe!

At that time, Cao Cao had conquered the Yellow Turbans, made some military exploits, and suffered defeat in Jinan...

Then, after being dismissed from the official position at home and losing his beloved concubine, Mrs. Liu, the biological mother of Cao Ang and Cao Shuo, He Jinzheng once again appointed him as one of the eight captains of Xiyuan - the captain of the Dian Army.

However, the good days did not last long. He Jin died unexpectedly two years later. Liangzhou warlord Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, deposed the young emperor Liu Bian and established Chenliu King Liu Xie as emperor.

At that time, Cao Cao escaped from Luoyang and gathered the eighteen princes to challenge Dong. The whole Cao family was worried about being implicated and was in chaos.

It just so happened that Yuan Shu brought news about Cao Cao's death outside...

Cao Piyou remembered that he was only five years old at the time, and it was his mother... Mrs. Bian who was still his father's concubine at that time, who stood up!

At this moment, Cao Pi looked at the ruins of Luoyang City and recalled the stories here to his "confidants".

"My mother is not from a high background. She has been performing in the arena since she was a child. She has encountered worse things than when Dong Zhuo came to power and her father fled... On the contrary, at this time, she is more assertive than Mrs. Ding, who comes from the famous Ding family. The whole family is frightened. When Anxiety had no backbone, it was she who stepped forward and said to all the family members and tribes in the mansion, "Cao Jun's life and death cannot be determined based on just a few rumors. If the rumors are lies made up by others, you are here today." So I say goodbye and return to my hometown. Tomorrow, Mr. Cao will return safely. How can you meet the master? Is it worth it to rashly give up your reputation and reputation in order to avoid unknown disasters?'"

Even after twenty-five years, when Cao Pi mentioned his mother's powerful words, he felt a burst of emotion and admired his mother's courage at that time.

"What happened next?" Liu Zhen asked quickly.

Cao Pi continued, "Everyone admires my mother and is willing to obey her arrangements. In addition, the relationship between Mrs. Ding and her father has never been good. She is obsessed with her elder brother Cao Ang and has an undisputed temperament. Therefore...from then on, even though My mother is still a concubine, but everything in the Cao family’s house has been decided by my mother!”

Hearing this, Li Miao sighed with emotion: "What Mr. Zihuan said reminds me of a rumor in the market, saying that over the years, Prime Minister Cao has never forgotten Mrs. Ding, and has repeatedly invited Mrs. Ding to return in the name of Mrs. Bian. A banquet at the palace!”

"Mrs. Bian knew what Prime Minister Cao was thinking, so she always left the seat of the legitimate wife next to Prime Minister Cao to Mrs. Ding, and retired to the position of concubine... But back then, it seemed that when Mrs. Ding was his legitimate wife, she never placed Mrs. Bian in the seat. In my eyes... after listening to Zihuan's words today, I know the whole story... Mrs. Bian is really awe-inspiring!"

Li Miao’s words...

For Cao Pi, it was tantamount to doing what he wanted.

Because of Luoyang, Cao Pi thought of his childhood;

Because when he was a child, Cao Pi thought of his great mother...

Now hearing that a mad man like Li Miao could praise his mother so much, it was inevitable that he would feel happy.

"Mr. Li is indeed very knowledgeable. Well... let's not talk about it." Cao Pi said with emotion: "Let's go to the former palace... Since my father asked us to rebuild Luoyang City, we must first see how dilapidated the city is now. How far has it come, where should we start building it!”

Li Miao nodded, and he raised his eyes to look at the ruins in front of him again.

Luoyang's current situation is just like his situation...

He will reshape Luoyang step by step. During this period, he will also realize his plan and ideal step by step...

To realize the ideal that he most admired, Mi Heng... has not yet been completed and is out of reach!

The day when Luoyang was rebuilt was the day when Cao Wei was destroyed——

…

…

Jiangxia, in the government office of Anlu City.

"Prefect, I will invite you to rob the grain—"

"Prefect, I will also invite you to rob the grain—"

"Brother Yun Qi, you should leave this kind of meritorious service to me once, right?"

Mi Lu, Shi Wu, and Zhang Xingcai respectively asked for tassels to rob Cao's army of food and grass.

Luo Tong also wanted to ask for help, but he suddenly realized that this was in Jingzhou... He... I'm afraid he wouldn't have the opportunity!

Guan Lin signaled to let these generals go out first... He, Lu Su and Zhuge Ke wanted to discuss alone.

Mi Lu and Shi Wu looked at each other...

Zhang Xingcai puffed his mouth and looked unconvinced.

Wait until they leave.

Lu Su said with emotion, "Six times in a row, in six places, we successfully plundered food and grass every time... Only once did we fail to avoid the enemy's ambush. This is incredible. Now the Yu Forbidden Army must be in a state of chaos! Continue. If this calamity continues, one day...Cao's army will collapse!"

Lu Su said this, but Guan Lin squinted his eyes and thought...

Zhuge Ke couldn't hold himself back, "But as Zhu Ling sends information again and again, his situation will become more dangerous. In the past, Master Yunqi didn't trust him, but this is the sixth time... This Among the six times, only once was Cao's army ambushed, and I withdrew in time to avoid being trapped."

Guan Lin said doubtfully: "If they all plundered the food and grass easily, it would seem a bit fake. If I had laid out the plan, I would have made mistakes every time, which would be more real. To be honest with Governor Lu and Yuan Xun, I People are timid... If it is not foolproof, I will never trust others, not to mention that the battle situation is unpredictable, the soldiers have no constant momentum, and the water has no constant shape!"

"The dangerous and scary thing is that we will never see through him at a glance... Is this Zhu Ling giving us sweetness, a little at a time, and then a little more... We can take advantage a hundred times, but we never know, this one When does the sword fall...if it falls...it will be doomed."

After hearing what Guan Lin said, Lu Su was slightly silent...

But after pondering for a long time, he still said: "War is gambling, and the chance of victory often appears on the thin line. In the battle of Chibi, if Zhou Yu hadn't defeated Huang Gai, one would have fought and the other would have suffered... If Huang Gai had really surrendered If he surrendered to Cao Cao, he deceived Zhou Yu and really surrendered to the north. What should he do? Will there still be Soochow now, and will there still be Liu Huangshu? Many times, the side with fewer soldiers... has to make a bet, in case the bet wins. What’s up?”

Zhuge Ke also advised: "The Commander-in-Chief of Lu said yes and yes, if he still hesitates again and again, then no matter how good the opportunity is, he will pass it by in vain. At least for now, this Zhu Ling has all the reasons to surrender. I It’s really unbelievable that in this situation, he would feign surrender!”

Guan Lin nodded at the words of Lu Su and Zhuge Ke.

But in the end he spread his hands and smiled, "Let's give Zhu Ling a real chance. The enemy has dispatched 50,000 troops. We only know that in Bishan, a hundred miles outside Anlu City, there is a limit of 30,000 soldiers." At the foot of Hengshan Mountain, where the soldiers were stationed, was the station where 20,000 Nanyang soldiers were stationed. Such a large-scale army required a huge amount of food every day. Where was their food storage? Is it in Hengshan? Or in Bi Mountain? The drawings of the granary may be brought?"

Guan Lin narrowed his eyes and his tone became more solemn. "In the Battle of Guandu, at first...Cao Cao and Yuan Shao robbed each other's grain roads, it was just a small fight, and they only won a complete victory after burning Wuchao. Now...if we can accurately know the enemy's grain harvesting If we know the layout of its granary and the arrangement of troops and horses, then we can recreate the victory of the Battle of Guandu? Zhu Ling is the chief of logistics, it shouldn't be difficult to find out this... right? "

Guan Lin's tone became firm, "Tell him that we are always welcome to come to Anlu City, but you must bring the location of the enemy's food garrison! If so, I, Guan Lin, am willing to report to my father Zhu Ling on his behalf. My uncle wants to be given the title of 'General'!"

this…

Lu Su and Zhuge Ke looked at each other.

In the end, Zhuge Ke gave up and decided to do as Guan Lin said, "I will go and do it now, and let Zhu Ling come and surrender with the location and drawings of the enemy's grain garrison..."

Just as Zhuge Ke was about to leave, Guan Lin quickly called out: "Yuan Xun, the more than 4,000 armors sent by Jiangling can be distributed!"

"It has been sent out." Zhuge Ke said matter-of-factly.

After getting the accurate answer, Guan Linba smacked his lips... as if he had fallen into some deep thought again.

"What is Yun Qi thinking?" Lu Su asked curiously.

"I'm thinking..." Guan Lin pondered, "What if we take the initiative to fight Na Yu Jinyue once and fight openly and honestly?"

ah…

Lu Su was stunned, "Ten thousand people against fifty thousand people?"

Guan Lin smiled, "We are all infantry, why not find an open plain?"

this…

Lu Su was a little confused about Guan Lin's leap-forward thinking, and didn't know whether he should be called an amateur? Or... there are some other plans.

"The difference in military strength is five times—"

Lu Su said with deep emotion.

Guan Lin looked confident, "Although our troops are inferior in strength, we are well equipped, our morale is high, and our fighting spirit is high... Besides, these subordinates under me hate Cao Cao's wife. If I keep suppressing them and don't fight... I'm afraid they will mutiny and rebel against me!"

This time...

Lu Su didn't even know what to say.

——"Why do you feel that this battle was fought so wantonly and nonsense?" 』

——"This Guan Lin is not Zhao Kuo, and he is not talking about war on paper, right?" 』

…

…

In less than five days, Yu Jin's generals, Dong Heng and Dong Chao, could no longer bear it.

they said with shame and resentment.

"General Yu, fight back... In just five days, six food routes were robbed. If this continues, even though our army is not short of food, the soldiers will all die of frustration..."

"Yes, instead of feeling so aggrieved, it is better to complete the victory in one battle and attack the city directly! "Sun Tzu's Art of War" also said, so the method of using troops is to surround an enemy at ten points and attack at five points... We have fifty thousand people, and they Ten thousand people, exactly five times their number of soldiers and horses, attack the city!"

As Dong Chao said...

It is indeed written in "The Art of War: Planning and Attack Chapter" by Sun Tzu - Therefore, the method of using troops is to surround an enemy ten times, attack it five times, fight it twice, and fight the enemy.

This means that when using troops, if you have ten times the force, you can surround the enemy; if you have five times the force, you can attack the enemy; with twice the force, you can divide and destroy the enemy; if you have the force equal to the enemy, you can resist.

It's just that... theory is one thing, practice is another.

"The enemy army is not 10,000!" Yu Jin sighed: "Guan Ping still has 5,000 Guan family troops. One of these Guan family troops is worth ten. If our army cannot conquer the city for a while, what if Guan Ping brings 5,000 Guan family troops to support? "

this…

Yu Jin's rhetorical question directly silenced the two generals Dong Heng and Dong Chao.

There is a reason why Yu Jinneng is the first of the five good generals. He is more comprehensive and his thinking is more rigorous... He also has the characteristics of "reliable at critical moments", "good at defensive warfare", and "good at running the army".

That’s why…

What Dong Heng and Dong Chao saw was that food was being plundered, but what Yu Jin saw was that the opportunity was about to appear.

He is waiting...

Waiting for Zhu Ling's bait, Guan Lin, who has had enough of the sweetness, will take the bait!

Also waiting, waiting for Yue Jin and 30,000 troops and horses secretly transferred by Prime Minister Cao in Shouchun.

When the secret arrived, the reinforcements arrived, 80,000 soldiers... exactly five times the enemy's 15,000 defenders in Jiangxia. This is in line with "The Art of War" - ten to encircle, five to attack. its strategy.

What's more, the extra 30,000 soldiers are a surprise force!

Now, he had to endure it.

It's just that he can bear it, but his generals can't.

In five of the six food robberies, Dong Heng's lieutenants were robbed... Dong Heng felt like his face was so swollen.

"Then we can't let Guan Lin improve our army's strength. Please give me five thousand soldiers and horses, general, and I will personally go and secure the food. Let's see who can rob it?"

Yu Jin calmly smiled and said, "No need, let him rob him, haha... Our army captured Jiangxia, General Dong and his deputy generals were the first to do it!"

Dong Heng raised his head in confusion and asked: "What? The last general..."

Dong Chao also felt something was wrong and looked at Yu Jin.

Yu Jin waved his hand, signaling them not to ask further questions and to step back.

After everyone had exited the Chinese army's tent, Yu Jin's squinted eyes opened. He smiled lightly and said: "Hundreds of hundreds of carts of grain and tens of thousands of kilograms of grain and rice. It's time to feed this young master, right?" ?”

Thinking of this, his thoughts quickly turned around.

——‘How many days will it take for General Le Jin’s secret support of 30,000 soldiers to ‘drop from the sky’? 』

Be prepared...

Yu Jin made two preparations!

As long as one move goes smoothly, the northern border of Jiangxia will be recaptured.

This is a sure win—

At least, from now on, he has not felt any pressure from Guan Lin, and everything is under control.

at this time.

"——Report."

A scout quickly broke into the Chinese army's tent. He reported loudly: "General Yu, countless arrows were shot from Anlu City. There are words on them, it is the Jiangxia prefect Guan Lin... made an appointment... made an appointment with General Yu to lay down under the city." Let's fight in the field! I said... I said I want to have a showdown with General Yu!"

this…

Yu Jin's original "everything is under control" eyesightened in an instant.

This sudden letter from Guan Lin asking for a battle... inexplicably and suddenly, it actually brought him a little bit of pressure!

Yes, this feeling is pressure!

A pressure fell from the sky.

Suddenly, the pressure was on Yu Jin's side.

——"Does he know that this general has 30,000 reinforcements?" 』

——"No, no, he is just drifting. He has succeeded in robbing food many times, and he thinks that this general can't hold the sword anymore!" 』

——"Ten thousand versus fifty thousand?" This boy is so brave! 』

Thinking about it several times...

Then here comes the problem.

Will he accept this "fight"? Still not answering?

…

…
