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

Lianying Dazhai occupied by the Wei army.

At ten o'clock at noon, the Chinese army opened its tent.

Zhang Liaowen was sitting on the commander's seat. He was still flipping through the book of Sun Tzu's Art of War left by Guan Yu, and now he was reading the "Facts and Facts" chapter in it.

From time to time he chanted:

"Going where you don't want to go, going where you don't want to go. He who travels a thousand miles without any effort will travel in a deserted place;"

"If you attack and you are sure to take it, attack what it is and don't defend it; if you defend it and you are sure to consolidate it, you can defend what it is and don't attack it."

The concept of "virtual reality" in "Sun Tzu's Art of War" often refers to the tactical changes of dispersing and concentrating forces on the battlefield to create a situation in which we are strong and the enemy is weak to defeat the enemy.

Of course, Zhang Liao has long been familiar with these theories.

On the other hand, with books like "Sun Tzu's Art of War", you can always "learn something new" every time you "review the past". Zhang Liao read it very seriously.

He pondered and meditated from time to time, as if he was comprehending the deeper truth contained in it.

only…

Zhang Liao was calm and composed, but the lieutenants in the military tent were already losing their composure.

Niu Gai and Yin Shu were discussing.

"What's going on? It's so strange. Guan Yu was obviously twenty miles away from the military camp last night... Even if he wanted to avoid marching long distances and avoid our army waiting for work, then one night's rest would be enough, right? How come it’s noon the next day and you’re still resting? Is he still fighting? Is he in an ambush?”

"What General Niu said is very true... Guan Yu has sent out several armies from the mountain since last night, and Tan Ma has repeatedly reported that these armies are coming towards us to kill us? The valley is also filled with dust and smoke, and there are sounds of killing everywhere. But... what about Keren? Our brothers were lying in wait all night and all morning, not even daring to blink. Not to mention Guan Yu, not even a single soldier of the Guan family army was seen. Then... those who came out of the valley Where did the Guan soldiers go?"

Niu Gai and Yin Shu couldn't help but pat their foreheads while discussing.

This is strange and outrageous.

Speaking of which, ever since Guan Yu hid in the valley, the entire Wei army, whether they were scouts or scouts, seemed to have lost all news at once. They were either dead or unable to infiltrate.

All in all, what on earth was Guan Yu doing in this valley? No one knows!

This feeling of black eyes is really uncomfortable.

Zhang Liao, on the other hand, was still calm and composed, listening to the discussion of the two lieutenants without blinking, his eyes staring at the "Facts and Facts" in "Sun Tzu's Art of War" as always.

He saw the next sentence——

——"The shape of a soldier is like water. The shape of water avoids heights and tends to go down. The shape of soldiers avoids reality and attacks weakness." 』

Zhang Liao was still trying to figure out the meaning of this sentence.

——"The law of using troops is like water. Water avoids high places and flows toward low places. But using troops avoids the enemy's strong places and attacks his weak places... It is true, it is true." 』

Zhang Liao seemed to have a new understanding.

At this moment, Lieutenant General Niu Gai seemed to have thought of something. He slapped his forehead heavily and exclaimed: "Is it possible that Guan Yu discovered it?"

"Impossible!" Yin Shu insisted, "The entire ambush of the Wei army was personally deployed by General Wenyuan. All the ambush locations are extremely secretive. Even our uninformed army scouts could not see them if they walked over there. How could they See?"

"But..." Niu Gai was still puzzled, "If you say you didn't see it... then what do you mean? Then is Guan Yu coming? This ambush... is simply... so scary, and... so frustrating."

After listening to the discussion of these two generals, Zhang Liao finally put down the "Art of War" by Sun Tzu. He closed his eyes, shook his head and sighed like an old scholar.

"Soldiers have no permanent momentum, and water has no permanent shape. The so-called virtuality is real, and the real is virtual!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Liao opened his eyes and explained: "I know Yun Chang. He is testing our army to see if there is an ambush here and whether there will be any clues due to his dispatch. Yun Chang is still attacking and defending as always. , How to be steady in a hurry! This is exactly his usual style."

Having said this, Zhang Liao slowly stood up and looked through the window towards the ambush location outside the tent and towards the mountains due west where Guan Yu was.

He held his chin with one hand, and then said: "Yun Chang has also begun to play with reality. This "Sun Tzu Art of War" is not in vain, but... he is as quiet as a virgin, how can I act like a rabbit? But, it's almost over, he This temptation should end!"

Zhang Liao's words always carry a sense of certainty.

at this time…

The sound of "tapping" footsteps came, and a rather burly man covered in gray strode into the Chinese army's tent.

With a "bang" sound, a mountain-breaking ax was hit directly on the ground, making a clear "clang" sound.

The person coming is Xu Huang...

At this moment, Xu Huang was gasping for breath, as if he was riding a horse at full speed, his eyes were open, but there was a bit of complexity and anger in his eyes.

Zhang Liao thought that Pound had robbed Xu Huang of his military exploits, and he quickly laughed and tried to persuade him: "Hahaha, Gong Ming, why is this so important? I just said that I would celebrate your and General Pound's achievements, but now Huang Zhong is being treated by the two generals. Kill, the two generals are about to shock the world, I will report the truth to the Prime Minister, the two generals share the first credit..."

Zhang Liao thought that his "a bowl of water will be balanced" was enough to calm Xu Huang.

Who would have thought that Xu Huang's expression would suddenly change, becoming grief-stricken and extremely melancholy...

"Alas, alas——"

With a long sigh, Xu Huang looked like he was more sorrowful than heartbroken.

Shocking the world? Is it so awesome that it’s so awesome?

He, Xu Huang, almost became the laughing stock of the world!

yes…

Tomorrow, there will indeed be someone who will shock the world, but it will definitely not be Xu Huang, let alone the already cold Pang De.

It should be an old man in his seventies, the enemy general Huang Zhong——

this…

Zhang Liao also noticed something was wrong with Xu Huang's expression and quickly asked: "Why is Gongming like this? Didn't the two generals surround Huang Zhong and Guan Ping and Guan Xing? Didn't it mean that there were five troops and more than 50,000 people surrounding them? Thousands of people? Where’s Huang Zhong’s head? Where’s General Pound?”

"Huang Zhong, Pang Lingming...Xinye City..." Xu Huang suddenly clenched his fists. Finally, under the accumulation of emotions, he opened his mouth tragically, "Haha, where are the heads of Huang Zhong? Only one was shot by Huang Zhong. His body is just outside the tent, that’s General Pound’s body!”

Speaking of this, Xu Huang's tone became more tragic, "The situation under Xinye City suddenly changed. Huang Zhong shot General Pound with an arrow five hundred steps away, and then...Then the enemy set fire to the camp, and our Wei army was defeated... The army was defeated like a mountain..."

Speaking of this, Xu Huang paused, and his hoarse voice continued to chant, almost crying: "Even... even the remnants of the Guan family in Xinye City were... taken away by Huang Zhong, and... It was taken--"

Xu Huang's drawn-out voice made Zhang Liao's eyes widen in an instant, extremely wide.

His face was livid and pale, and his arms and hands began to tremble violently.

Then this numbness quickly swept across his legs, causing Zhang Liao's legs to stagger and he almost fell to the ground.

The hoarse voice came out.

"Gongming...Gongming, are you saying that the remnants of the Guan family were rescued? General Pangde is also...dead..."

"Yes...yes!" Xu Huang's answer was almost shouting, at the top of his lungs.

This time...

Zhang Liao no longer looked like he had just calmly read "The Art of War". His whole body began to tremble. He still couldn't believe it, "Fifty thousand people surrounded a few thousand people? And then... the general... died? People... people ran away? "

"Nothing...nothing left?"

Zhang Liao had never fought such a humiliating battle in his life.

It was always the general who faced him who had to bear this humiliation.

But now...

With a "gudong" sound, Zhang Liao's eyes became helpless and confused.

The Xiehu cavalry sent by Shiro Seki, the Xiehu general, Xiehu's position, Xiehu's encirclement, and finally Xiehu's escape...

The most bizarre thing is that at the end, a general from Cao Wei was taken away by hand.

Humiliation, grief, confusion, bewilderment, confusion...

All the emotions were forced on Zhang Liao at this moment.

At this moment, what he deeply felt was the humiliation when "Sun Shiwan led the army and overturned", the ultimate humiliation, the humiliation of being nailed to the pillar of shame forever.

Blessings come in pairs, and misfortunes never come alone.

at this time.

"Report——" A scout reported urgently: "General Zhang, just when the scout sneaked into the valley, he found... There were only a few dozen celebrities in the valley, raising dust and smoke, bluffing."

this…

Zhang Liao's pupils subconsciously widened again, and he vaguely had an ominous premonition.

Niu Gai, the deputy general, asked quickly: "What about Guan Yu? So many people were gone in the blink of an eye?"

Just as Niugai finished speaking.

"Report——" Another Tanma reported urgently: "Guan Yu's troops were found ten miles outside Yancheng. They broke into pieces and bypassed Tanma's eyes, and they are making a surprise attack on Yancheng!"

"ah--"

As soon as these words came out, Xu Huang, Niu Gai, and Yin Shu spoke almost at the same time.

Niu Gai and Yin Shu were shocked that it was Yancheng. This was completely different from what General Zhang Wenyuan had deployed.

Xu Huang was horrified that he left Yancheng with 20,000 soldiers. So a very practical question is before him, how many soldiers can Yancheng have now?

Who is the general? Can it block Guan Yu's attack, no... can it block the internal and external attacks of the Guan family's army outside Yancheng City?

Looking back at Zhang Liao, his most intuitive feeling at this moment was that the sky... had all collapsed at once.

Guan Yu's actions were completely different from Zhang Liao's analysis and prediction.

Separation, the development of the entire situation seemed to be completely separated at once.

——"Yancheng is in danger!" 』

His mind suddenly changed, Zhang Liao immediately asked Tan Ma: "Has this news been reported to Mr. Zhao Yan?"

When these words came out of his mouth, Zhang Liao immediately felt that they made no sense.

You know, Zhang Liao was the deputy general in the battle where Guan Yu's white horse beheaded Yan Liang. He saw it very clearly.

Guan Yu galloped towards Baima City at an extremely fast speed!

The detective horse that was approaching Yan Liang actually saw it, but when he went back to report it, he realized that their speed was not as fast as Guan Yu's?

The cavalry commanded by Guan Yu ran much faster than the enemy's scouts.

Before the enemy's scouts rushed back to report the news, Guan Yu had already been able to seize the opportunity and rush in directly!

Otherwise, in the battle of the White Horse at Guandu, how could Yan Liang still be sitting under the canopy umbrella when Guan Yu was galloping to attack, feeling proud and defenseless.

You know, in the battle of Bailang Mountain, Zhang Liao attacked Wuhuan King Taton;

In the battle of Xiaoyaojin, Zhang Liao used this move to attack Sun Quan, the leader of Soochow. He learned this move from Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang!

Thinking of this, big beads of sweat fell down from Zhang Liao's forehead like rain.

Tan Ma's reply also confirmed his suspicion.

"Someone went to report to Mr. Zhao Yan urgently, but...but Guan Yu's horse is faster, and this remnant of the Guan family's army is faster...I'm afraid...I'm afraid it won't be in time!"

——'It's over! 』

Subconsciously, Zhang Liao just felt that it was over, completely over!

His expression had changed, and his legs were not staggering at all, but were shaking violently like an old man suffering from typhoid fever. They were shaking so hard!

How calm he was just now, how calm he was when the mountain collapsed in front of him, how uncomfortable he is now...

How heartbreaking!

"Pass the order..."

Zhang Liao is worthy of being a famous general. Under such huge unfavorable information, he was only stunned for a short time, and then quickly gathered his mind and showed his resolute side.

"General Xu Huang, General Niugai, and General Yin Shu, you will immediately lead your troops to Yancheng to rescue Mr. Zhao Yan..."

"Here!" Xu Huang, Niu Gai, and Yin Shu knew that this matter was of great importance, so they quickly handed over their hands and turned to order troops.

"Wait a minute." Zhang Liao suddenly thought of something and shouted to stop. He pondered for a moment, then showed his ferocious side. He added bitterly: "It doesn't matter whether we can save Mr. Zhao Yan or not. What matters is that we must delay it." Live in Guan Yu...I will be here shortly!"

As he spoke, Zhang Liao also picked up the crescent halberd in the tent and hurried out.

only…

Because he left in a hurry, the strong wind around him blew up the pages of "Sun Tzu's Art of War" on the desk. When the page fell, the chapter "Facts and Facts" in "Sun Tzu's Art of War" had been turned over. .

What Zhuan'er turned to was "Sun Tzu's Art of War: Strategy" this time...

The text above appeared vividly, with Guan Yu's fingerprints left on it due to long-term reading.

--Soldiers who, deception also.

——So if you can, you can show that you can't; if you use it, you can show that you don't use it; if you are close, you can show that you are far; if you are far, you can show that you are close.

——Lure them with profit, take them with chaos, prepare them with actual strength, avoid them with strength, anger them with anger, be humbled with pride, lose them with labor, get close with them and leave them.

——Attack the unprepared and take them by surprise. The victory of this military strategist cannot be passed down first.

And this whole article is a long and lengthy one...

It can be summed up in eight words.

——Assist in the east and attack in the west, attack the enemy unprepared!

It seems that Zhang Liao's understanding of this chapter is at best comparable to that of Guan Yu, and far inferior to Xu Shu and Xu Yuanzhi!

Xu Shu's strategic deployment is the enterprise-level understanding in this chapter of "Sun Tzu's Art of War: Planning"!

…

…

Xiangyang City, inside the Third Official Medical Office of Jingzhou.

A flash of light showed that Guan Xing had been bandaged and was out of danger, but he was still in a coma.

After visiting Huang Zhong, Guan Ping and some seriously injured people, Guan Lin came here. He sat beside Guan Xing's bed and looked at his brother with a complex expression, who almost killed Guan Jiajun because of his negligence.

Guan Suo stood behind Guan Lin, still wiping tears.

In fact, Guan Suo also suffered from severe typhoid fever, but when he heard that Guan Xing was back, he also heard that Guan Xing had blocked the knife for his elder brother and Old General Huang.

I can't help but come here to beg Guan Lin.

"Fourth brother, cough... I know that military law is like a mountain, and I also know that... cough... the military discipline of the Guan family must be reshaped, and I also know that... if my father comes back, even if... cough... even if the second brother saves his life... he will definitely not be able to escape military discipline. Punishment, one cannot escape death..."

Speaking of which…

With a "click", the weak Guan Suo knelt down directly towards Guan Lin, "Fourth brother, I beg you...you have many ideas, please save the second brother, he...don't you know his temper?" He just wanted to make meritorious deeds, and he got so mad that he did something wrong. He...his intention was not like this!"

"Don't I know that second brother's intention is not like this." Guan Lin's voice was hoarse, "But...it is not my soldiers who reshape military discipline, it is the Guan family army...It is not me who wants to punish second brother, it is our father...I ...I can go against my father, I can be a traitor, but I have never disobeyed military discipline. I know my limits, and my father can't touch me, but how can I keep my second brother? Tell me...he is like this Guilt? How do I keep him?"

At the end of the sentence, Guan Lin's tone increased...

He looked at Guan Xing's cheek again, and his heart was filled with the words "I hate my brother but I can't make steel".

In addition, Guan Lin actually knows very well what kind of temper his father Guan Yu is. He can stop some things, but he has no idea about Guan Xing... He really has no idea in his heart. He has a steely heart towards his father. Bad temper!

"Then... then send the second brother to Bashu." Guan Suo had an idea and suggested: "Uncle... The uncle can definitely stop father, and the uncle can save the second brother..."

"Oh, my stupid brother..." Guan Lin helplessly spread his hands: "Is it related to military discipline? Will our uncle stop the person our father wants to kill?"

Guan Lin paused for a moment, "Even if we step back ten thousand steps and say, our uncle really stopped him and really saved him, then... if this kind of thing happens again in the future, will everyone carry it to Bashu, to the benevolent uncle, and then... Can we be exempted from punishment? Then who respects military discipline? Everyone has sent troops without authorization! What happened to our uncle's place? Is it a hiding place for filth and evil? How will the people of the world look at our uncle!"

this…

Guan Suo almost cried when Guan Lin said that big tears fell from his eyes.

It wetted the ground and also wetted the gown on which he was kneeling.

"Get up." Guan Lin scolded, "If kneeling would be useful, the world would have been unified long ago. Your fourth brother and I can kneel Cao Cao to death! There will be peace in this world long ago!"

After listening to Guan Lin's words, Guan Suo felt aggrieved, but still unwilling to get up...

At this time, Guan Xing woke up with a groan, saw the person in front of him clearly, and asked confusedly: "Fourth brother, fifth brother... How can I still be alive? How can I still be alive?"

Yes, death is a one-and-done act, and it can be regarded as using the final credit to make up for some of the sins committed.

But living... is difficult! Only then must we face all our mistakes.

Thinking of this, Guan Xing looked around hard, "Where's the sword? Where's my sword? Let me die... Once I die, the military discipline of the Guan family army will be clear, go... go... ahem..."

Halfway through, Guan Xing coughed violently.

Guan Lin sighed, but stood up straight. He stared deeply at Guan Xing, "Second brother, I'm not talking about you. Why do you want to live or die now? What do you look like?"

"I know you want to die, but the eldest brother went through all the trouble to bring you back. The fifth brother knelt on the ground and cried in tears because of you. I don't need to think about it to know that the third sister will be extremely sad if she knows you look like this... , drag me and let me help you!"

At this point, Guan Lin snorted coldly, "Everyone is racking their brains to save you, but you are pretending to be in reverse, do you want to seek death? Do you want to atone for your sins? Do you want to end it once and for all? Come..."

Guan Lin shouted directly and ordered the warriors outside the door, "Give him the sword and let him commit suicide...let him finish it off!"

this…

When the warrior outside the door heard this, he looked at the sword in his hand, but Zhang Xingcai on the side quickly snatched the sword away and shook his head desperately.

Guan Lin didn't wait for the sword, but his anger was still there. He simply ignored Guan Xing's illness and injuries, pointed at Guan Xing and cursed angrily: "You will be relieved if you die, but you will be clean? But you are worthy of our Guan family army" Soldiers? Come, Wei Zhi, tell him how many of your thousands of men are still alive?"

this…

Guan Suo hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth: "Only thirty-seven people escaped! The rest...were all wiped out!"

"Did you hear that?" Guan Lin then angrily scolded Guan Xing, "A thousand people, a thousand flesh-and-blood brothers, only thirty-seven of them were killed alive? What about the remaining nine hundred people? Other schools, What to do with the thousands of people who died in other villages, or even the soldiers from the Wanguan family? Can you be worthy of them?"

Guan Lin became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke, "If I were you, even if our father wanted to kill me, I wouldn't be able to die, and I would have no shame to die! I have to escape even if I run away, I can't die like this, I die I feel relaxed... But for those soldiers who died because of me, can I afford to atone for their sins? Who will pay for their lives? "

"If I were you, I would learn from Nie Zheng and Jing Ke. I know that the rebel Cao Cao is heavily protected, but I will also hold a three-foot sword to try to kill the thief Cao! The wind is rustling and the water is cold. I will not kill Cao Cao. If the thief doesn’t atone for his crime, I won’t return it!”

At the end of the sentence, Guan Lin's tone seemed to be extremely angry.

He looked deeply at Guan Xing again.

He turned around and waved his hand: "It doesn't matter... you love him to death... I am your fourth brother, not your father, I don't care about you!"

As he spoke, Guan Lin angrily walked out of the official medical office, leaving only Guan Xing, Guan Suo, and Zhang Xingcai in front of the door stunned...

It's the hospital next door.

Lu Xun and Lu Yan were together, and Lu Xun was bandaging his son's wounds.

They heard the voices here clearly.

Lu Yan asked: "Young Master Yunqi, have you said this? We are all brothers... Why are you so cold-mouthed? Even if you don't help, you won't be adding insult to injury, right?"

After hearing his son's words, Lu Xun paused while bandaging his wound.

Then, Lu Xun shook his head slightly and said thoughtfully: "My son, please remember that what you see may not be true, and what you hear may not be true. Yun Qi is giving advice to his second brother! Pointing to his second brother A way out!"

Guidance?

Lu Yan really didn't think about it.

Lu Xun added, as a reminder to his son, "His second brother has committed such a big crime. If he stays in the Guan family army, he will definitely die when Guan Yu comes back. If he escapes... there may be a glimmer of hope!"

"Ah...escape?" Lu Yan was shocked by his father's words.

Lu Xun nodded, "Didn't you hear what Yun Qi said? The wind is rustling and the water is cold. If you don't kill Cao Cao, you won't atone for your sins - you won't return them! What if you kill Cao Cao? Does that mean the merits are equal to the demerits?"

Lu Xun deliberately slowed down his tone when he said this.

When Lu Yan heard these words, he suddenly felt that they were so meaningful.

So here’s the problem?

Assassinate Cao Cao?

This... Guan Lin really dares to think, and his father Lu Xun really dares to listen!
