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

Wei Jun often did not take into account the suffering of the people when doing things.

Since the battle south of the Han River, the battlefields dominated by Fancheng, Yancheng, and Xinye City have been turbulent, and Wancheng has already begun to fortify its walls and clear the country.

Now that changes have occurred, this strong and clear country has undoubtedly become more resolute.

Basically, all the Wei troops quickly swept through a fifty-mile radius, and all villagers and farmers moved into Wancheng. All grains were confiscated, and all cultivated land was set on fire.

Of course, Nanyang had deep grudges against Cao Wei, and a large number of villagers resisted, but... anyone who refused to move would immediately have their houses burned and their people taken away.

The entire Wancheng territory was filled with roars of wind, cranes, and dogs. A large number of people were driven into Wancheng like cattle and sheep, and villages everywhere were blazing with fire.

This process was done by Xia Houmao himself;

According to Cao Cao's order and the current situation, Wancheng cannot leave anything to eat for Guan Yu or the Guan family army.

In this way, the entire Wancheng was like a huge prison. Countless civilians, because of Cao Wei's notice, had all become refugees. They were flooded under the walls of the city wall. They were helpless and had complaints everywhere.

At almost the same time, all the troops in Wancheng were setting up defenses...

No one will resettle these refugees. It seems that from the moment they are moved, they have become an existence that no one cares about and are left to fend for themselves.

call…

With a long exhale, Li Miao stood on the city tower at this moment, looking at the people below the city tower who were being driven into the city like cattle and horses.

The wind at the top of the city blew his face, bringing a hint of coolness, as if telling him that the world was so unpredictable and cruel.

"Alas..." With a gentle sigh, Li Miao couldn't help but moan in a low voice: "It's sad that wherever the Qin and Han Dynasties traveled, thousands of palaces and palaces were turned into dirt. When they prosper, the people suffer; when they die, the people suffer."

This is a later Yuan Dynasty poem "Sheep on the Mountain: Tong Cares About the Ancients". Of course... it was also copied by Guan Lin in the volume of poems given to Li Miao.

At this time, Li Miao liked a song very much.

However, under this situation, Li Miao's mood became much more complicated when he recited such a sentence.

"What was Mr. Li reciting just now? Is it poetry?"

At this time, with the sound of "tapping" footsteps, Cao Zhi also climbed onto the tower. He didn't hear clearly what Li Miao was chanting just now, but from his appearance, he seemed to be composing a poem with emotion...

When it comes to poetry, Cao Zhi is very interested.

"Mr. Li, please recite it quickly and let the juniors listen and comment..."

In Cao Zhi's view, Li Miao's poetic attainments were far superior to his.

Of course, what Cao Zhi didn't know was that Li Miao's poems came from the Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties, and all of them had "amazing" names.

only…

"Haha..." Li Miao waved his hand and said: "I was not reciting a poem just now, I was just sighing. In just one day, 70,000 to 80,000 villagers moved into Wancheng, and these villagers became refugees. People’s hearts are unstable, and I’m worried that they will be dissatisfied, make trouble, and mutiny!”

Li Miao casually found a topic and transferred his feelings about people's livelihood.

Cao Zhi also looked at these people, and it could be clearly seen that there was a touch of sadness in his eyes, "Father is still much crueler than me. In order to completely cut off Guan Yu's food, he did not hesitate to send Xia Houmao to lead 20,000 people." Go to the strong wall and clear the wilderness."

When he said this, Cao Zhi looked at the burned fields and farmhouses outside the city...

There are also all the wealth, money and food that cannot be taken away...

His expression became increasingly sentimental.

Li Miao also comforted him in a timely manner, "There are extraordinary times, extraordinary things are done, there are extraordinary people, extraordinary achievements are made, and the situation dictates... It's no wonder the prime minister, no wonder General Wenyuan, no wonder General Xiahou!"

Li Miao's words somewhat relieved Cao Zhi's mood.

He continued: "Just now, Mr. Li asked if these 70,000 to 80,000 villagers who have become refugees will mutiny? I think...probably not. After all, Wancheng here is a strategic military location of the Wei Dynasty, and there are already 7,000 garrison troops. , not to mention...Xiahou Zilin has brought another 20,000 reinforcements. These are soldiers of the clan and should be able to stabilize the situation."

Following Cao Zhi's words, Li Miao was secretly calculating Wancheng's protective power now.

Originally there were seven thousand garrison troops;

Xiahou Mao brought another 20,000 clan soldiers and horses;

In addition, Cao Zhi also brought 2,000 people from Luoyang, among whom Li Miao's 300 dead soldiers from "Parrot" were mixed in.

In addition to the strong walls and clear fields, with such blessing, within three days... I'm afraid Guan Yu may not be able to break the city!

When he thought of this, Li Miao looked calm on the surface, but he couldn't help but feel deeply worried in his heart!

Speaking of which…

Li Miao just tried every means to convey the situation here to Guan Lin.

But he didn't know Guan Lin's plan.

In addition, in this strange place, Li Miao was unfamiliar with the place, so where could he go to find the disciples of the Beggar Clan to ask?

Therefore, his whole mood was also in suspense. He felt that this situation... was afraid that the Guan family and his son would not be able to break it!

call…

Thinking about this, Li Miao couldn't help but let out another breath.

Seeing this, Cao Zhi continued to ask: "Mr. Li has never been on the battlefield, so it is understandable that he is a little nervous, but... don't worry, Wancheng has deployed in advance and is waiting for work. Then Guan Yu can't attack! But..."

When talking about the previous part, Cao Zhi's tone was quite high-spirited, but with the last "yes", his tone changed, adding a bit of confusion and confusion in his tone.

He suddenly pondered: "The real test will be when this battle is over... to appease the people... I'm afraid it won't be easy! This is why my father sent me and Mr. Li here!"

As Cao Zhi finished speaking, Li Miao nodded slightly and murmured in his heart.

——"This Cao Cao is still thinking carefully!" 』

——"Let Xiahou Mao come to strengthen the wall and clear the country, and win this battle at the expense of the people's hearts, but let the kind and kind-hearted Cao Zhi appease the people's hearts after the war..."

——"Thinking cannot be said to be incomplete and careful!" 』

As Li Miao said...

Cao Cao is old, but he still retains his domineering attitude, but... he also suffered endless backlash because of the killings of the Wei Dynasty over the years.

Now, he has become more moderate. When it comes to riots and people's suffering... he no longer simply "iron-blooded suppression", but chooses a slightly gentler approach of "one hand with a lollipop and the other with a mace".

Sending Cao Zhi... wouldn't it be a big test for him?

While they were discussing, the sound of "tapping" footsteps came out again. It was Xia Houmao. It seemed that he was deliberately looking for Cao Zhi and Li Miao.

Seeing Cao Zhi and Li Miao, Xia Houmao said directly.

"Finally we found two of them. Father invites Zijian and Mr. Li to go to the inner hall to talk!"

Father?

As soon as these words came out... Cao Zhi and Li Miao were both startled.

Isn't Xiahou Dun's father Xiahou Dun?

This general who is based in Yecheng and is in charge of the entire Cao Wei logistics affairs? Is he...here?

Sure enough, Cao Zhi reacted and asked first:

"Is Uncle Xiahou in Wancheng?"

Xia Houmao nodded slightly, "Wancheng is an important gateway to our Wei Dynasty. The Xiangfan battlefield is still unresolved. Dad was worried, so he came in person. He arrived last night. I accompanied him to inspect the three armies, so I didn't tell Zijian."

this…

All of a sudden, Li Miao's brows condensed briefly.

But soon, his eyebrows stretched out again.

Being behind enemy lines, he has been able to do it like a conditioned reflex...not showing joy!

It can better calm down the mind.

only…

Undoubtedly, Xiahou Dun's appearance added strength to Wancheng's defense.

Xiahou Dun is another troublesome guy!

Cao Zhi on the side didn't know Li Miao's thoughts, but he was very happy and said: "Uncle Xiahou is here, so Wancheng has nothing to worry about...I feel a lot more at ease all of a sudden!"

"Brother Zilin, please lead the way!"

…

…

There is a dense jungle on one side of the official road from Yancheng to Wancheng.

The villages we passed just now were all in blazing flames. The heat of the flames could be felt even on the official road.

However, Guan Jiajun's cavalry still did not stop at all, and did not even take a second look at the farmland in flames.

The horses stopped here with the sound of "ta-ta-ta".

Guan Yu and a group of Guan family soldiers stopped here to rest for a while.

Xu Shu unfolded the map, and Guan Yu also walked to his side.

Xu Shu pointed to a point on the map, "Now we are only ten miles away from the place we agreed with the hot air balloon yesterday..."

Guan Yu handed his water bag to Xu Shu, and then said: "Sure enough, your prediction is accurate. Zhang Liao did not send troops to pursue him, and the land under Wancheng's jurisdiction is also implementing a strong wall and clearing the country. Haha, it seems that Cao Jun is determined to break up. Our food and grass block us in this mountain road."

Xu Shu nodded, "The Wei army is still afraid of the general's prowess, trying to avoid the general's edge and changing the original encounter into a fortified battle. If this consumption continues, our army will not have enough food and will not be able to hold on for a few days."

The topic gradually led to the key point of this battle...

How to capture Wancheng?

The current situation is no longer about besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao. It is necessary to capture Wancheng. This method can be used to deter Zhang Liao, but...

Guan Yu rarely showed a hint of sadness. He raised his head and looked at the sky, "It will be daytime in two hours. That will be the time when my army will approach the city..."

Having said this, Guan Yu slowly lowered his head and looked straight at Xu Shu with a pair of red phoenix eyes, "Yuanzhi, it's now, don't you hide it from me anymore? How to break Wancheng? You need to tell Guan in advance, Let me be prepared too.”

this…

Guan Yu's question touched on the pain points and key points. Guan Yu knew the status and weapons of this Guan family army best.

Due to the lack of siege equipment, it would be almost impossible to climb the tower in a forced attack.

Because of this, his red phoenix eyes staring at Xu Shu were shining with a desire to see through.

However, in sharp contrast to Guan Yu's nervousness and urgency was Xu Shu's calmness.

It seemed that he had everything in mind.

Finally, Xu Shu finally spoke after being called out for a long time. He looked at Guan Yu and said lightly, "Second General, to be honest... I don't know how to defeat Wancheng!"

ah…

Xu Shu's words made Guan Yu pale in shock, and his Danfeng eyes widened to the limit.

Subconsciously, he thought Xu Shu was joking, but... how could Xu Shu make such a joke when he was so serious?

Besides, he is not a joker!

So...is this a joke?

Everyone is here? The army is about to attack the city, and then... break Wancheng, but there is no plan?

this…

Fortunately, the person standing in front of Guan Yu was Xu Shu, otherwise, Guan Yu would have taken the Qinglong Sword.

Xu Shu, on the other hand, continued, "The task Yun Qi gave me was to guide the second general to Wancheng and march to the city. As for the rest, he will arrange -"

When Xu Shu mentioned Guan Lin, his tone was inexplicably full of confidence.

It was as if he had never doubted the name Guan Lin.

In a tacit understanding, when Guan Yu heard the name "Yun Qi", his original nervousness and urgency suddenly dissipated without a trace.

Just like the two words "Guan Lin", they themselves are endowed with some kind of magic power.

With Zhu Yu at the forefront, this is not the first time that Yun Qi has "turned the tide".

In Guan Yu's opinion, if it is this "Qilin'er" who is deploying, then he can always trust this son——

…

…

When Cao Zhi and Li Miao rushed to the inner hall.

There are already three explorers waiting in line to enter.

Xiahou Dun saw Xiahou Mao leading Cao Zhi and Li Miao into it. He did not say hello, but said to the probing horses: "Continue-"

At this time, the first scout reported: "Now the villages and farmland outside Wancheng have been burned down, and all the people have moved into the city. The bandit army will not find even a chicken feather, not to mention food."

Faced with Tan Ma's report, Xiahou Dun, who was only two years younger than Cao Cao and already fifty-eight years old this year, did not show any emotion or anger. He just looked at the second Tan Ma.

The second scout understood and continued to report: "Guan Yu's troops and horses were found fifty miles away from Wancheng. There are about ten thousand people, half on foot and half on horseback... After a short rest, they are attacking this way."

Hearing this, Xiahou Dun added a question with great interest: "Can we find out clearly that Guan Yu's troops and horses can carry large siege weapons such as well rails, rams, and ladders?"

"No!" Tan Ma reported truthfully, "The last general and Yi Gan Tan Ma clearly saw that there is absolutely no siege equipment in the entire team."

Hearing this, Xiahou Dun nodded, as if a big stone fell from his heart.

Then...he turned his attention to the third Tan Ma.

The detective said: "General Zhang sent someone to bring news that the situation had changed. Yu Jin and his son were killed by Guan Yu's formation, General Zhao Yan was defeated, and even General Pang De was killed by an arrow from the enemy general Huang Zhong 500 steps away... General Zhang will remind General Fubo not to underestimate Guan Yu and Guan Jiajun, and General Zhang has completely blocked Guan Yu's retreat."

In fact, Xiahou Dun already knew this information, including the news that the siege of Yancheng and Xinye City, the enemy troops had been solved, and who was killed in the battle, when he arrived last night.

But... such news, mentioned again this time, still couldn't stop the anger in his heart.

"How did this battle end like this? How did Zhang Wenyuan manage this battle?"

Although Xiahou Dun was defeated repeatedly in battles, he was the one with the highest official rank in the Cao Wei clan.

He also has the talent to lead troops, but he just can't stand it. Every time his opponents are too strong.

And accidentally, during the counterattack on Puyang City in the past, he was shot in the eye by a stray arrow. He became a disabled person and retired to the position of general manager of logistics.

But this does not prevent him from still enjoying studying and judging battlefields over the years...

As for analyzing Zhang Liao's deployment for the battle on the north bank of the Han River.

Xiahou Dun only felt that they were all flaws, and this was too substandard!

A brief complaint.

"Ahem..." With a slight cough, Xiahou Dun did not embarrass these probing horses and waved his hand, "Just wait..."

While talking, these scout horses retreated one after another.

Xia Houmao then stepped forward to report, "Father, Zijian and Mr. Li have brought..."

As soon as Xia Houmao's voice fell, Cao Zhi bowed respectfully, "Nephew pays homage to uncle."

"Zijian, in times of emergency, there is no need to go through all the red tape."

Xiahou Dun replied casually and began to stare at Li Miao.

Li Miao did not salute. As always, he showed the cultivation that a madman should have.

"Your Excellency, is this Li Miao?"

Xiahou Dun walked directly in front of Li Miao and looked him up and down. Li Miao directly met Xiahou Dun's single eye, "You are the General Fubo of the Wei Dynasty?"

He had never thought that Li Miao would dare to ask questions openly, and Xiahou Dun was a little surprised. It was obvious that this young man was neither humble nor arrogant when facing him, his tone was sonorous, and he showed no fear at all.

"Hahaha..." Immediately, he burst out laughing, "What a madman, worthy of being valued by my eldest brother. He has some courage..."

As he spoke, Xiahou Dun turned around and walked up to the main seat. As he walked, he asked: "Mr. Li is a person that the eldest brother values ​​​​and he has stayed in Jingzhou in the past. Now that the traitor Guan Yu is approaching the city, can Mr. Li defeat the enemy?" Of the policy?"

Faced with Xiahou Dun's inquiry, Li Miao answered neither humble nor arrogantly, "Why do we need a strategy to break the situation? In Li's opinion, Guan Yu is just a turtle in a urn. He has already fallen into many ambushes. He is already about to die, so why bother to break the situation?"

"What does Mr. Li mean by this?"

"Didn't General Fubo mention it?" Li Miao opened his mouth: "The Wancheng side has strong walls and clear fields, avoiding the real and attacking the weak. According to the current intelligence, Guan Yu has no siege equipment. How many days can the army's food last? We'll wait Just hold on! Besides, Old General Xiahou is not good at attacking, he is always good at defending. If Old General Xiahou goes to the city to fight, I don't believe that Guan Yu can capture Wancheng with few soldiers and weapons. ?”

Having said this, Li Miao paused.

"But if he doesn't attack the city, then he can stay away from it and wait until the day when he runs out of food. If he advances... he can't get through Wancheng, he retreats... and General Wenyuan blocks the retreat, and so and so... and so and so? He Not a turtle in a urn? A dying person? What is it?"

call…

Xiahou Dun did not expect that this Li Miao would talk eloquently, with reasonable evidence, and his analysis would be coherent.

Even in his words, Xiahou Dun could feel the madman's anger towards Guan Yu.

Xiahou Dun couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

——"It seems that in the past...it was true that Guan Jiasilang took off Li Miao's clothes and paraded him through the streets...It seems that this Li Miao is a trustworthy person!" 』

Thinking of this, Xiahou Dun laughed: "Hahahahaha, it seems that this general and Mr. Li are heroes and have the same ideas!"

Having said this, Xiahou Dun turned to Xiahou Mao and Cao Zhi, "Zijian and Zilin, please understand. Mr. Li and I have coincided with each other and passed on my military orders. Each department must hold fast and keep their respective positions. Wait for him." Guan Yu is out of food, I will worry about it later!"

"Here!"

As Cao Zhi and Xia Houmao responded in unison.

The three of them slowly exited the inner hall. Xia Houmao and Cao Zhi had a mission and immediately went to order troops. For a while, only Li Miao was free and had nothing to do.

He found a hut outside the government office, and after entering, he gasped for air.

——"Huh...how dangerous!" 』

Recalling Xiahou Dun’s breathtaking look just now,

Li Miao knew that Xiahou Dun was testing him just now.

They were afraid that he was from Jingzhou and were on guard against him...

If he just said a wrong word, he might be closely monitored by Xiahou Dun, or even...

Now that I think about it, I feel scared for a while.

——"Behind enemy lines...it's really a silent battlefield, full of murderous intent!" 』

For a while, in this hut.

Even when Li Miao peeed, there was a bit of shaking, which splashed all over the floor...

Looking down from inside, he suddenly saw a few words carved under the round stones used for "wiping" on the floor of the hut.

"Huh?" Li Miao suddenly became nervous.

He instinctively looked around to make sure there was no one in the hut and no one around him, then he carefully picked up the stone and saw four tiny words engraved on the stone hidden underneath:

——Kui doesn’t bow his head, I don’t speak, my expression is not small, my soap is not white!

Looking at the literal meaning, it looks like it was carved on the ground by a rotten scholar out of boredom while squatting in a pit. The rotten scholar is like this, he always likes to think wildly.

but…

Only Li Miao, these twelve words made him shiver.

His eyes widened, and he couldn't help but secretly reveal the mystery here.

"Yes - nine five two seven!" 』

That's right, the numbers corresponding to "Kui, Wu, Shi, Zao" are exactly "9527"...

As for 9527, that was the code name for a plan and operation that Li Miao secretly decided with Guan Lin before he went north.

This is to launch operation codenamed "9527"!

After thinking about this section and pondering briefly, Li Miao suddenly became excited.

This time...it's his battle!

…
