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

North of Anlu City, Jiming Mountain is in the valley.

"Dong dong dong——"

"Kill--"

"Pull the strings full——"

There were beating drums and shouts of killing everywhere, shaking the sky and the earth.

There were also fire arrows everywhere...shooting from the mountains in all directions.

But... what's strange is that none of the fire arrows actually hit Lu Jiajun.

However, due to the echo of the valley, shouts of killing came one after another, as if thousands of troops and horses were fighting for their lives, as if countless blood was being sprinkled throughout the cock-crowing valley, and as if countless dead souls were about to be buried here today.

——The movement is quite big!

But in fact, when Lu Xun and the Lu Jiajun fought to the deepest point, they didn't even encounter any resistance, except for the intimidating sound. This attack... was too easy, right?

"what happened?"

Taishi Xiang could be regarded as having followed his father, Taishi Ci, in many battles in the north and south. He had rich experience on the battlefield, but after entering the valley this time, he felt incredible...

He felt that this was not for fighting, but more like sightseeing and fun.

He asked Lu Xun in front of him with great suspicion, but the answer was silence. Lu Xun still looked around vigilantly, and still led the Lu family army towards the valley.

The Lu Family Army consisted of 25,000 people. It was hard to imagine that such a densely packed army could move unimpeded on such a long and narrow road!

The deeper they go, the more people become confused. Obviously many terrains are suitable for setting up ambushes?

But...except for the arrows that were obviously shot in the periphery, there seemed to be...no resistance at all!

At this time, all the sergeants of the Lu Family Army couldn't help but have the same question:

——"Are the Nanyang soldiers so weak?" 』

In fact, the reason why more than 25,000 Lu Jiajun dared to follow Lu Xun and rush in was, firstly, because of the strict military discipline of the Lu Jiajun, and secondly, because they had their own support.

You must know that there are more than 15,000 soldiers in this Lu family army. They are all from Shanyue. They are men who grew up in the mountains. Climbing over mountains and ridges... fighting in mountain warfare has always been their strength.

And this Jiming Mountain is undoubtedly the battlefield of mountain warfare. Even if there is an ambush, these Shanyue people can climb up as long as they find a suitable mountain...

It can be understood this way.

Others fight in the valley on a two-dimensional battlefield, but more than half of the soldiers in the Lu Family Army can achieve three-dimensional combat effects!

It is no exaggeration to say that Jiming Mountain is much shorter than the mountain on the other side of Shanyue——

This is also the reason why Lu Jiajun looks so confident.

At this moment, the enemy's drum beats became louder and louder, shouts of killing came and went, and even some special locations were ignited by fire arrows.

The Lu Jiajun continued to move forward with huge doubts, but... inevitably, they began to ridicule and disdain the Nanyang Army's combat power!

On the other hand, the mountain soldiers were constantly observing the terrain, fearing that the enemy would suddenly rain down arrows...

They can find the bunker immediately and then climb up to counterattack!

"These Wei army's arrows are so short..."

"Haha, maybe they themselves are just like this arrow, very short!"

"Hahaha, short is good, short is good, but it's too long, I'm afraid we can't bear it, haha!"

The deeper they go, the more bold and confident the Lu family becomes.

"What is going on?" Sun Ru couldn't help but ask: "If there is no ambush here, but this cry of killing? Where did the arrow come from? If there is an ambush, then... where is that person?"

"Yeah..." Tai Shixiang looked around strangely. This was the first time he encountered such a battlefield.

"Father, the more the enemy troops act like this, the more worried the child becomes..." Lu Yan held a long sword in his hand. He stood in front of Lu Xun, fearing that someone would suddenly shoot a cold arrow at his father.

call--

Only Lu Xun let out a long breath. Although he didn't open his mouth to say anything, a big stone in his heart fell to the ground safely.

He said in a deep voice.

——‘It turns out, it’s all true! What the helmsman said is true! 』

At this moment, he couldn't help but think of the scene when he arrived at the port and disembarked from the ship.

For a while, Lu Xun was standing alone on the deck, with no outsiders around him. At this moment, a middle-aged man dressed as a helmsman in the warship walked up to him without revealing anything.

The middle-aged man didn't look at him, but he was talking to himself.

Three sentences in total.

The first sentence is, "There is an ambush in Cockcrow Mountain. If you enter, you will never return!"

When Lu Xun heard this sentence, his heart thumped.

Because, according to what Han Xuan told him before leaving, the Lu family army has only one mission, and that is Jiming Mountain in the north of Anlu City. It must capture Jiming Mountain and gain the initiative for the entire Jiangxia battlefield!

So…

——There is no return?

What does it mean?

Immediately, Lu Xun planned to send someone to catch the helmsman and question him carefully.

At this time, the helmsman added another sentence - "The defenders in Jiming Mountain and the people in ambush are all our own! They are friendly forces!"

This sentence shocked Lu Xun directly.

Before he could ask a question, the helmsman recited a third sentence: "The 30,000 people lurking behind Jiming Mountain are the real enemies!"

As soon as this sentence appeared, Lu Xun understood everything at once, as if the clouds had been lifted out of the clouds...

He even guessed the identity of the helmsman.

It turns out that this is a game, a game where "the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows".

It is a game of "taking advantage of the enemy" and another "advancing the enemy"!

"Who do you belong to?" Lu Xun asked the helmsman.

"Haha..." The helmsman smiled. He did not answer directly, but asked Lu Xun, "General Lu, doesn't he know who I am? Can I appear on this deck? Who else can I be?"

In fact, this helmsman is Shi Huolong from the Beggar Clan...

This "Eight Bags Elder" who has made great achievements many times was sent to Han Xuan by Guan Lin a long time ago to assist Han Xuan in his rebellion against Lu Xun...

It's just that Han Xuan is in the light, and he is in the dark...

Returning with Lu Xun this time, firstly, he repeatedly ensured Lu Xun's attitude and stance, and secondly... what he held in his mouth were Guan Lin's final instructions to Lu Xun! It is the key to victory on the Jiangxia battlefield!

From this moment on, Lu Xun seemed to completely understand this game... This game that Guan Lin had laid out was interlocking and seamless.

So, he quickly accepted the siege equipment sent by Cao Wei.

Before he could thank Boss Cao for the gift, Lu Xun had already captured Sima Yi... and then, using the attack on Anlu City as a cover, he rushed to Jiming Mountain!

Therefore, the speech just delivered at the entrance of the Jiming Mountain Valley, the deafening slogans and declarations, and the resolute and desperate determination to break into the valley...

None of this is because Lu Xun is stupid, it’s not that he’s not rigorous, it’s not that he’s desperate and desperate, it’s not that he believes that a sadist will win...

But he already knew the game.

He wanted to quickly enter the cock-crowing valley, meet the so-called "one of his own", and then become part of the "ambush"!

Go and wait for the real fish to take the bait!

call--

Thinking of this, Lu Xun let out a long sigh again. At least for now, everything is in perfect accordance with what the "helmsman" said. This is such a careful plan!

Just when Lu Xun thought of this...

Under the dark clouds, countless torches suddenly lit up in the dark valley...

Countless torches illuminated the entire valley, making it look like dawn.

At the same time, the sound of the drums became even louder and louder, and it resounded even more earth-shatteringly...

And from the surrounding hills, Nanyang soldiers emerged one after another from the torches. Each of them held a crossbow, but strangely, they did not introduce the arrow into the bow, let alone the so-called full string!

"This is?"

Lu Xun groaned softly, but the soldiers on the mountain couldn't help but feel a little timid. With such scattered positions, I'm afraid this mountain will be difficult to climb!

At this moment, the sound of gongs and drums stopped.

"Hahahaha——" A clear, hearty laugh came from it, and then, an elegant man, escorted by a group of personal guards, slowly walked out of the valley. His hands moved from outstretched to centered. , bowed his hands respectfully.

His words followed one after another, accompanied by his laughter.

"Have friends come from afar!"

"My Majesty, the Commander-in-Chief of the Nanyang Army and the Governor of Wancheng, Hou Yin, are so polite! Hahaha, Hou Yin has been looking forward to this day for a long time, General!"

Polite and polite…

No, the tone of Hou Yin, the prefect of Wancheng, was not only polite, but also a desire to see through. It was the yearning for someone who had given up the darkness and turned to the light. What a desire to see through!

this…

The sudden change and the other party's identity made the entire Lu family army wary, and Lu Yan and Tai Shixiang wanted to step forward.

Under such an ambush, if you want to win, you must capture the thief first and capture the king!

But before Tai Shixiang and Lu Yan could take a step, Lu Xun immediately stretched out his hand to stop their movements. Under everyone's doubtful eyes, he smiled and said.

——"Now there are only friendly forces and no enemies in Cockcrow Mountain!"

——"Everything we did before was performed for the enemies outside the valley..."

As soon as this statement came out...

The whole house was silent, the entire valley, and the entire 25,000-plus Lu Family Army were silent!

Silence...a long silence!

These Lu family sergeants... seemed to suddenly understand something, and they also seemed... to be completely confused!

…

…

Anlu City, in the study.

A scout quickly broke in: "Report - The Lu Army has been breaking into Jiming Mountain for half an hour. The shouts of killing are shaking in the valley. Fire arrows can be seen shooting out from a distance. Some trees have been burned... The entrance is filled with dust and smoke. I can’t clearly see the reality in it.”

The tone of the scout's report was a little nervous, and his brows were raised high. His brows were full of worries about the reinforcements of 25,000 people.

This time, there was no need for Guan Lin to open his mouth, Zhang Xingcai said directly.

"If we continue to explore, we should go down first!"

Just before, Zhang Xingcai was asking about the key point. Just now, he only mentioned that Lingju agreed to go to Wancheng to instigate the rebellion of the prefect Hou Yin. But how did Hou Yin surrender? What was in the letter Guan Lin gave to Lingju?

Zhang Xingcai still knows nothing about this...

She...she was too curious now, too hungry for the truth.

The scout looked at Guan Lin in fear, and saw Guan Lin saying calmly, "What Xingcai said is what I meant. Go explore again, be careful-"

"No..." the scout agreed and left quickly.

Only Guan Lin and Zhang Xingcai were left in the study.

Zhang Xingcai asked hurriedly: "Brother Yunqi, please continue to tell me how Miss Lingju met Hou Yin, how she persuaded him, and... what was written in the bamboo slip you gave to Miss Lingju?"

Three questions in a row...

Guan Lin pondered for a moment and then said: "I just reminded Lingju that if you want to see Hou Yin, you must be involved with the suffering of the people of Nanyang. Although I have never met Hou Yin, I have heard some of him. Rumor has it that I know something about him. He cares about the people in Nanyang area... He is a person who pities the common people and has the ambition to save the people. He is a righteous man!"

"As for...how Lingju met him, I don't know. I only know that they met once, and I also know that Lingju handed my letter to Hou Yin, and Hou Yin also saw it seriously. That bamboo slip…”

The topic turned to the bamboo slips, and Zhang Xingcai then asked: "Then... what is the content of this bamboo slips?"

"Spread a small amount into an acre—"

Guan Lin said without thinking: "It's my uncle and Zhuge's military advisor who are responsible for the agricultural tax reform and tax reform that are about to be carried out in the land of Bashu and the entire Jingzhou!"

this…

Zhang Xingcai tapped her forehead lightly, and then asked: "Then what is 'dividing a small person into an acre'? According to you, this is just an agricultural tax, a tax provision, a government order...A government order can change a person who has soldiers in his hands." Are you hostile to the governor?"

this…

Guan Lin briefly explained the content of sharing the land.

"...Actually, to put it more simply, it is to abolish all taxes including poll tax, agricultural tax, and corvee, and distribute these taxes evenly among the fields. Whoever has more fields will pay more taxes, and whoever has less fields will pay more taxes. , just pay less tax... If you don’t have a field, you won’t have to pay taxes even if you give birth to ten or eight cubs!”

"ah…"

Hearing this, Zhang Xingcai felt incredible. She asked in shock: "If this is the case, can the treasuries of Yizhou and Jingzhou still have money and food?"

"If the land can be re-measured..." Guan Lin said with emotion: "The money and food that can be received will only be more than the current one. Of course, because the interests of many people are involved, there may be many difficulties, but... If it were that man, he would probably be able to solve it easily."

That man, of course, refers to Zhuge Liang...

The world remembers him more for his military strategies, Qimen formations, Longzhong Dui, and Six Out of Qishan... which makes Cao Wei tremble, but in fact... these are not his strengths. His most awesome thing is Governing a country is the implementation and extension of policies!

According to Guan Lin's thinking, as long as an "advanced idea" can be told to Zhuge Liang, then Zhuge Liang must have a way to put this idea into practice...

Even if the King of Heaven comes, I can't stop him.

"Of course, now is not the time to talk..." Guan Lin brought the topic back, "What I actually want to tell you is that, as I just said, the people of Nanyang have suffered hard over the years, from taxes, labor, and the persecution of Cao Wei. and oppression... They are the most miserable people in the north. Now, every year, there are countless men who die in the fields, die on the road, and die under the pressure of taxes..."

"Unexpectedly, Cao Wei's order to recruit widows was like taking away their last hope. They originally thought that by working hard and saving some money for a few years, they could buy a woman and marry him. Wife, living a mediocre life like this, even if one day she dies of exhaustion in the fields or doing hard labor, she accepts it... But under the order of widowhood, do they still dare to die? Death, they have saved money all their lives to buy it. The daughter-in-law will be confiscated and rewarded to the military household...if she dies, there will be nothing left!"

Speaking of this, Guan Lin's tone was sad.

In words, it is difficult to conceal my sympathy and empathy for the people of Nanyang.

His tone became lower.

"They used to live with humble hope, but now they... Even their last hope was ruthlessly taken away by Cao Cao. I am also very surprised... Why does Cao Cao hate Nanyang so much, especially Wancheng... But this is the fact , Nanyang, Wancheng...this is not a place for humans in Cao Wei at all, it is a place of oppression...the most severe oppression! It is a place where even animals cannot stay!"

Guan Lin said a lot in one breath.

Zhang Xingcai seemed to understand, "So, when Hou Yin sees "A Little Divide" in Jingzhou and Bashu areas, he will...will be frightened, and will he directly surrender to you?"

"It's not that simple..." Guan Lin said calmly: "After that, Hou Yin and I wrote a total of twenty-three letters. I found that the prefect Hou Yin was a well-educated and sensible person who had suffered hardships. Compassionate sages, at first... we were just talking about how we share the same family, and about the oppression in Nanyang... But as we wrote more and more letters, we began to talk about the current situation, the reasons and origins of Nanyang's oppression, and also about the current situation. This method of governing the world, talk about class... talk about how to make the people have hope, and how to make the clans compromise..."

Hearing this, Zhang Xingcai swallowed deeply and said, "You mean, you have been exchanging letters this month..."

"Yes!" Guan Lin answered affirmatively, "In fact, from the first letter, I was already sure that he would abandon the dark side and surrender to the bright side, surrender to Jingzhou, and help us end the suffering in Nanyang. But until the twenty-first letter Only then did he say the words of surrender... and told me all about Zhu Ling's fake surrender, Le Jin's thirty thousand troops, and the conspiracy of Jiming Valley... which also allowed me to formulate a plan based on this information. Today’s plan.”

"Then... when Yu Jin made an appointment with you, you and Hou Yin were also writing letters!" Zhang Xingcai was dumbfounded, and she continued to ask... her tone was already a little stuttered, and she sounded a bit shocked.

"That was the thirteenth letter, and we just started talking about the topic of 'class solidification'." Guan Lin said truthfully.

"So...that's it..." Zhang Xingcai didn't ask this time.

She stared at Guan Lin with great impossibility, "Then... what did you talk about in the last letter? But it was about this battlefield!"

"The one related to the battlefield is the penultimate letter, which is the twenty-second letter... As for the last letter, I described an ideal state to him, where the people at the bottom have hope, the clans in the middle have ideals, and the high-level An ideal state where rulers can stabilize this rule and satisfy every class is also an ideal state where all classes compromise together!"

That's not what Zhang Xingcai wants to hear... "I don't want to know about this Utopia. I just want to know what your plan is on this battlefield today?"

"The plan..." Guan Lin pointed at Jiming Mountain, Yue Jin's soldiers and horses, and Yu Jin's soldiers and horses, "Our plan is that all Cao's troops will stay here and be buried here - —”

"Burial?"

"Yes!" Guan Lin replied resolutely, "The battlefield is not a place of mercy, nor is it a place of compassion. The Jiangxia battlefield should be turned into a flag, igniting the anger of all those oppressed by Cao Wei. Wherever there is oppression, there should be Resistance, we must guide their resistance and rekindle their hope of overthrowing this hegemonic order——"

Speaking of this, Guan Lin's eyes widened in a rare sight, and his emotions actually became excited because of his words.

"So, in this battle... no one of Cao Wei's generals, even one person, can be allowed to escape -"

Speaking of this, Guan Lin's eyes looked at the map, looking at the direction where Yu Jinjun and Le Jin were marching, and a bright light suddenly appeared in his eyes. The light here was like a cold blade.

He said calmly and coldly

"Don't go back, bury them all here -"
