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

Chapter 456: Faking death, this is the consistent method of the Sun-Liu Alliance!

The curtain behind the seat of the King of Wei shook slightly, and it was obvious that there was someone hiding inside.

But, that's not important.

No one will care.

Because: - "Guan Lin is dead?" 』

This was the subconscious reaction of Cao Cao, Yan Zhen, Li Dian and the people behind the curtain at the same time.

It can be said that when Xu Chu chanted this sentence, the entire atmosphere here solidified. Even Xu Chu's tone was stumbling, as if he did not believe the information he heard.

Xu Chu's words continue...

Including the late-night assassination of Guan Lin by an "unknown killer";

Including the entire Jiangxia City, which is full of silk;

Including the fact that Zhang Xingcai, in anger, bit the killer's extremely strong nature, and even more included the fact that she stabbed Lu Su with a sword in anger, and Lu Su was hit by the sword in the left shoulder!

All of this was too coincidental, the coincidence was perfect, the coincidence was impeccable, but the more it was like this... the more Cao Cao didn't believe a word of it.

Of course, he routinely asked Yan Zhen: "Since the killer is very good at water, can Soochow send another killer?"

this…

Yan Jun was confused. Logically speaking, he was on a mission to Wei State, and there was no reason for Marquis Wu to hide such a big thing from him, but...he obviously didn't know anything.

"Report to your Majesty, I don't know about this matter... Allow me to write a letter to ask the Marquis of Wu, and then report back to the King of Wei!"

As soon as Yan Zhen finished speaking, Cao Cao's voice came out immediately, "I heard that Wu Hou has a legion that is proficient in assassination. It's called Wunan soldiers, right?"

Cao Cao was deliberately demonstrating his intelligence gathering capabilities, and at the same time, he was also intimidating the Soochow envoy in front of him, so that he would not dare to tell lies!

Yan Zhen is a meticulous person. In fact, he will never tell lies. "I have heard that my lord Wu Marquis has an elite force without difficulty... But is it an assassination? Or something else, I just think so." I don’t know!”

"Stay back -" Cao Cao ordered directly, turning his eyes to Li Dian, "General Li, you are here with Mr. Yan. During this period, you will arrange for his daily necessities. If you have any information, please report immediately Report it to Yu Gu!"

"Here -" Li Dian agreed and led Yan Zhen back.

As for the change of the flow direction of the Han River waters that was just mentioned, Yan Zhen personally went to the Han River to inspect and make judgments. This matter was forced to run aground because of the "death of Guan Lin".

All actions must wait until further information is sent.

As Li Dian and Yan Zhen left quickly, Xu Chu knew that there was someone behind the curtain, so he wisely exited the room, leaving the place to Cao Cao and the man behind the curtain.

It's Jia Xu.

Jia Xu did not deliberately avoid Xu Chu. When Li Dian and Yan Zhen left, he had already walked out slowly with a simple crutch.

Cao Cao was the first to speak: "What do Wen He think of these two things?"

Jia Xu didn't wait until he reached his counselor's position and stood up slowly before saying, "Two things? Why, old man, I only heard one thing?"

Jia Xu's reply immediately made Cao Cao's eyes brighten up, and immediately, "Hahahahahaha", he laughed without scruples, "It seems that Wen He and Gu have thought of going together!"

Following Cao Cao's words, Jia Xu said faintly: "Fake death, this is the consistent method of the Sun-Liu Alliance. In the past, Zhou Yu cheated his death, defrauding General Zixiao, and gained Nanjun; Guan Yu cheated his death, defrauded Xu Huang, and gained Nanjun. Xiangyang; this time it’s his turn to blow up Guan Lin? Haha... Who is he trying to deceive again this time, and which city is he trying to gain?"

This is the top strategist who can often peel off the energy of repeated failures, find the crux of the problem steadily, accurately and ruthlessly, and then judge the plans and deployment of the upcoming enemy.

"Go on." Cao Cao opened his eyes and stared deeply at Jia Xu.

Jia Xu continued his analysis, "Actually, whether Zhou Yu faked his death or Guan Yu faked his death, they were all done extremely realistically. It is expected that the information Yan Zhen got from Soochow this time will also be that Guan Lin is undoubtedly dead... But the more this happens, the more dangerous it becomes!”

"The Wei Dynasty has suffered too many losses from faking death and surrender. The purpose of faking death or surrender is nothing more than two. The first is to confuse the enemy and make the enemy careless. The second is to Cover up its secret actions!"

At this point, Jia Xu turned the topic to Cao Cao, "The king thinks that Guan Lin used 'faking death' to attract our attention, his actions hidden in the dark, and the clues provided by Huang Hao and Yan Zhen? What is it again?"

This is the brilliance of Jia Xu.

When he made suggestions to Cao Cao, he would always finish the "guidance" part. In the end, he would definitely leave the "conclusion" part to Cao Cao.

In this way, Cao Cao's wisdom can be demonstrated!

This is also one of the reasons why Jia Xu in history was able to survive two dynasties, live to the age of seventy-seven, die a good death, and deserve to enjoy the Temple of Emperor Wen!

really…

Under Jia Xu's in-depth and simple analysis, Cao Cao's eyes suddenly condensed, and his tone became more serious and meticulous, "I know, the purpose of Guan Lin's fake death is just to let Gu focus on him, so that Ignoring Guan Yu’s action of diverting water into Fancheng, this plan is brilliant!”

Finally, Cao Cao came to the final conclusion, and Jia Xu breathed out a sigh of relief. He had analyzed it to this point. Next, he only needed to remain silent and leave everything to the "wise" and "decisive" King Wei!

"Publish Gu's decree and make it known to the world. The traitor Guan Lin will be executed... This edict is written by Wen Heyou!"

"yes!"

With Jia Xu's agreement.

"Where is Xu Chu?"

"The general is here!"

Xu Chu, who had just left home not long ago, turned back again.

Cao Cao ordered: "Immediately send someone to escort Yan Zhen across Yanzhou from Runan to Fancheng to conduct an on-the-spot inspection of the Han River line!"

"Here..."

Xu Chu was about to hand over his hand, but suddenly thought of what he had just discussed, and quickly reminded Cao Cao: "Your Majesty, don't you need to wait for Soochow's reply to Yan Zhen?"

"No need -" Cao Cao waved his hand rather boldly, "Guan Lin wants to cheat his death, so I'll give him a trick!"

With this in mind.

Cao Cao's eyes were stunned, and his eyes were as sharp as daggers.

"How could I be planning to cheat my death?" Suffered three losses? Guan Lin, my child, you are looking down on me—"

Compared with Luoyang City, the ninety-nine and eighty-one steps in the newly built Wei Palace symbolize the return of the ninety-nine to one.

The Wei Palace in Xuchang looked much simpler, with only forty-nine steps. Li Dian led Yan Zhenzheng down one step at a time.

From the palace to the gate, you need to go through a long corridor. Guards are either guarding outside the wall or stationed on the steps of the palace. The entire road is extremely quiet.

Both Li Dian and Yan Zhen have something on their minds...

Without him, it would all be Guan Lin's assassination and death!

The two of them were walking and thinking until... they bumped into a man who was walking very fast and uninhibitedly.

It’s——Li Miao!

As the newly promoted military advisor of the Wei Dynasty, Li Miao once turned the tide in Wancheng and brought back the vitality of the Wei Dynasty. He also worked hard and won the favor of everyone, both in the Wei ancestral hall and the ordinary troops.

He came here to report to Cao Cao about the provisions and soldiers in Xudu City. Because he needed to think clearly about the corresponding words, he suddenly touched the arms of Li Dian and Yan Zhen in a panic.

The three of them raised their heads one after another and met each other's eyes.

Li Dian and Yan Zhen greeted Li Miao as a greeting, and Li Miao returned the greeting.

The three of them each had their own affairs, and they didn't know each other. No one stopped to say a few words or ask about the identity of the person who came down.

However, the moment they passed each other, Li Miao suddenly thought of something. It was a...portrait!

It is a portrait of another tiger general under Cao Wei's five good generals - Li Dian!

Before lurking into Cao Wei, Li Miao posted these portraits on his bedside and memorized them day by day.

Although Li Dian's appearance was slightly different from that in the portrait, Li Miao was deeply impressed by his gentle and elegant style as a Confucian general.

but…

This is not the point, the point is...Li Dian, wasn't he captured by Sun Quan because of the fall of Hefei City?

So? How come he is here?

Subconsciously, Li Miao could not help but murmur:

——"Has he been released by Sun Quan?" 』

——"This is wrong. Under the Sun-Liu alliance, would Sun Quan release Li Dian so easily?" 』

In fact, everyone in Cao Wei's Bafu knew the agreement reached between Cao Cao and Sun Quan.

However, Li Miao is still unable to enter the Ba Mansion, which belongs to the Cao Wei clan and top advisers.

After Guo Jia came Xun You, and after Xun You came Cheng Yu. Now... due to the situation, Cao Cao made an exception and summoned Jia Xu to join him. Li Miao's qualifications... were still too young.

On the contrary, even so...

Li Miao also found it extremely strange!

He couldn't help but pause as he climbed the steps. At this moment, a vicissitudes of voice from Jia Xu came out from the palace gate.

『——The King of Wei issued an edict, cough cough… God’s will has decreed that the traitor Guan Lin will be executed. From now on, the entire Wei Dynasty will congratulate him for three days! Everyone celebrates! 』

this……

If he saw Li Dian just now, it only surprised Li Miao.

So this one, Guan Linfu and execution... was enough to make Li Miao surprised and shocked, and even made him feel at a loss and lost his mind to the point of being extremely confused in a short period of time.

To know.

In Li Miao's knowledge, there may be three people in Jingzhou or Bashu who know his identity as Li Miao, but the only one he can contact is Guan Lin——

He would not have thought that Guan Lin told Huang Chengyan this important news and that Huang could contact him.

It is precisely because of this that it is not an exaggeration to say that Guan Lin is Li Miao's "Heaven"!

——"Is the sky falling?" 』

Subconsciously, Li Miao thought of this.

In his opinion, if there is no accurate knight, with Cao Cao's wisdom, he will not issue this edict. If Guan Lin appears immediately, wouldn't it be humiliating himself?

so…

Li Miao's most intuitive feeling is that this edict is true!

But...he can't associate the words "Guan Lin" with "death" under any circumstances, because...in his opinion, Guan Lin is the most "cautious" and the most "life-loving", so much so that he " "Cowardly" is not an exaggeration at all.

How could such a "cowardly" and "life-loving person" die so easily?

--"no…"

Li Miao realized that his mind was completely confused, and his whole heart was focused on Guan Lin's safety and his confusing future.

At this moment, Xu Chuzheng, who was going to do something, saw Li Miao and saw him frozen on the spot. He scratched his head first, and then subconsciously understood.

This Military Advisor Li was probably in the same situation as when he first heard "Guan Lin Fu Zhu". It was incredible, what an expression he had!

Also, Military Advisor Li... seems to have a mortal enemy with Guan Lin!

"Mr. Li..."

Thinking of this, Xu Chu shouted in his rough voice, "Guan Lin died well... Mr. Li has avenged his great revenge, so congratulations!"

"wrong--"

It was okay that Xu Chu didn't speak, but as soon as he spoke, Li Miao immediately realized that something was wrong.

He, Li Miao, also received an inquiry from Guan Lin through the Beggar Gang yesterday. In addition, he stayed with Cao Cao all day yesterday.

So, Guan Lin was executed? If this message was received yesterday, there was no reason for him not to know about it. If it was the day before yesterday... then considering the speed of flying pigeons to deliver messages, it would be impossible!

——"So... today is it?" 』

Li Miao continued to push down.

If he got this news today, Cao Cao's normal reaction would be to investigate first, and then... the person investigating would definitely be Xu Chu.

Then, Xu Chu would definitely not tell Li Miao that "the great revenge has been avenged" and "what a joy to congratulate" without getting the exact information!

In other words, this is what Cao Cao deliberately wanted to do!

Deliberately tell the world!

Based on the available intelligence, after reasoning to this point, Li Miao could infer that Guan Lin faked his death, and Cao Cao wanted to "play his trick"——

So…

"Commander Li, why are you still stunned? The king is still waiting for you!" Xu Chu reminded.

At this moment, Li Miao realized that he was a little too immersed in the situation and ignored the location and environment. It was also at this moment that he thought of... what Guan Lin had told him before going north:

——"Working behind enemy lines requires means and intelligence, but it also requires a strong heart, one that is not afraid of honor or disgrace, and has no intention of leaving or leaving!" No matter what news you hear, you must not show any appearance that is inconsistent with your 'personality'. This way, it will not be exposed! 』

call…

Breathing out secretly in his heart, Li Miao realized that he had lost his composure, and he quickly opened his mouth, "Revenge? This news is so sudden, it always makes me feel a little unreal..."

"Hahaha..." Xu Chu scratched his head, "I don't think it's true either, but the king thinks it's true, so it means it's true."

Following Xu Chu's words, the two exchanged a few words, and Li Miao quickly walked up the steps.

After hesitating again and again, his first words towards Cao Cao were, "Your Majesty, I think... that Guan Lin cheated his death!"

Following these words, Cao Cao's eyes narrowed, but soon, he smiled, as if he had found a treasure, "So, you feel the same way -"

In the palace of Jianye City, soft and elegant music was playing.

But because of a piece of news, all the music and all the dancing stopped.

Instead, three undisturbed sergeants knelt down on one knee with injuries.

"Say it again-"

Sun Quan asked these unimpeachable soldiers in front of Gu Yong beside him.

"The last general saw with his own eyes that You Wunandu Chen Zheng broke into Guan Lin's house, raised his knife and dropped it, and the flying halberd went straight into Guan Lin's chest, killing him instantly..."

This is the story of the first unconquerable soldier.

The second Wu Di soldier talked about the details here.

Including, how did they sneak in?

How to divide the troops into two groups?

It is difficult to see how Chen Zheng broke through the many defenses and entered it, stabbed Guan Lin with his hand, and how he released the sounding arrow that "completed the mission" before his death.

These are explained clearly in detail.

The third Wunan soldier was the final addition... and even brought the news that Lu Su was stabbed by Zhang Xingcai's silver hairpin.

These... news made Sun Quan and Gu Yong look at each other, their shocked eyes filled with disbelief!

Sun Quan no longer had time to ask Sun Luban and Sun Luyu where they were now. There is no time to investigate how Sun Luban dispatched the unimpeachable soldiers in the first place!

He directly ordered the three unconquered soldiers to go down and rest, leaving only Gu Yong alone.

Wait until everyone retreats.

Sun Quan just asked: "Mr. Gu, do you think Guan Lin is really dead?"

"It's hard to say..." Gu Yong shook his head, "But... I can give it a try?"

"How to try?"

"As mentioned before, replace the eldest son Sun Deng with the deputy governor Lu Meng!"

Gu Yong's words made Sun Quan understand instantly.

"What Mr. Gu means is that if Guan Lin fakes his death, he will definitely allow this exchange to happen, because his purpose is not that, but to use his 'death' to cause an uproar and hide his actions. Guan Lin will definitely instruct Guan Yu to sell this favor!"

"But if Guan Lin is really dead, then Guan Yu decides not to exchange Lu Meng. Firstly, Guan Lin's life or death is uncertain, and the murderer has not yet been identified. Guan Yu hates evil so much, how can he collude with his enemy? Secondly... In Guan Yu's view, a Lu Meng, the deputy governor of Jiangdong, is a hundred times more important to the current situation than an eldest son! The threat is a hundred times greater! Especially when Jingzhou loses Guan Lin!"

Following Sun Quan's analysis.

Gu Yong cupped his hands and said, "Master Ming Jian——"

"Hahaha..." After receiving Gu Yong's praise, Sun Quan smiled lightly, "It's Mr. Gu who reminded me, so whatever, I immediately sent someone to send Gu's eldest son to Jingzhou in exchange for me, the Grand Governor of Soochow -"

As soon as Sun Quan's voice fell, Gu Yong quickly replied: "My lord understands the righteousness and does not hesitate to exchange his eldest son for a general. Once this news spreads, the world will surely respect him, and even Duke Zhou and Lord Xinling will be willing to bow down!"

"Mr. Gu, you know how to speak nicely!"

"It was the two princesses who made great contributions!"

Following the conversation between Sun Quan and Gu Yong, the two looked at each other again and laughed out loud in unison.

Sure enough, when Li Miao returned to his mansion, he saw the letter left by the disciples of the Beggar Clan.

——Guan Lin is living and cheating to die!

Obviously, Guan Lin must tell Li Miao this news.

Considering that Li Miao is the only important chess piece within Cao Wei, his mentality and behavior are crucial...

Fortunately, Li Miao was smart enough to reason out the information in advance before obtaining the information about the Beggar Clan.

"Yun Qi, Yun Qi, are you trying to scare me to death?"

Li Miao couldn't help but let out a long breath, but his words seemed very restrained and forbearing.

What's even more fortunate is that Li Miao's resourcefulness in this matter further convinced Cao Cao.

call…

Exhale gently again.

Li Miao quickly took out a pen and paper and wrote an article titled "Ten Punishments for the Rebel Guan Lin". This was the method Li Miao always chose to convey information recently.

That is to say, by adding appropriate vocabulary to the article, only through "engraving" can the original content of the article be accurately extracted.

And this time...

What Li Miao wants to express is:

"The cheating of death was discovered, and Geely took advantage of his plan——"

Ji Li is Cao Cao's nickname. Cao Cao's original name was Cao Ma, with the courtesy name Ji Li. Later, because he committed a crime and Xia Houyuan took the blame, he changed his name to Cao Cao with the courtesy name Meng De!

It is precisely because of this that the word "auspicious" appears separately in the article and is presented in engravings, making it extremely difficult to attract attention.

but…

After writing this article, Li Miao couldn't help but frown slightly.

I kept muttering in my heart:

——'Cao Ah'an...Guan Yunqi, this time...what kind of medicine are they selling in the gourds? 』

Like Li Miao, Lingju and Guan Xing from Luoyang City were also shocked from being shocked to being unable to breathe to gasping for air...

After the two heard that Guan Lin had been assassinated, Lingju was still thinking about who could kill the person she couldn't assassinate!

But Guan Xing has already drawn his sword...

I can't wait to go to Xuchang and fight to the death with Cao Cao!

Dekui was held down by Ling Ju, that is, on the second day after Cao Cao's edict was promulgated, news of the beggar gang came back.

Guan Lin is fine——

It's a fake death——

Similarly, Guan Lin also brought another one.

——"Speed ​​up the construction of Luoyang secret road, the emperor is about to move the capital!" 』

Well…

Although I don’t know what kind of medicine Guan Lin is selling in this gourd, but... this fourth son of the Guan family has never disappointed anyone!

Following the news brought by the Beggar Clan, Guan Xing became excited and kept walking towards the tunnel.

Lingju asked curiously: "What are you doing?"

"Dig a tunnel!" Guan Xing said as he walked, "Fourth brother said that the emperor is about to move the capital -"

this…

Lingju's attention was already focused on Guan Lin pretending to be dead and safe, so he really didn't pay much attention to the last sentence.

When Guan Xing said this, he became really nervous for no reason.

She first whispered: "Do you know how to dig?"

Then he shouted: "Wait a minute -"

Jiangxia, Xiakou!

Today's Xiakou is home to many people, including Guan Lin, Liu Chan, Sun Luban, Sun Luyu, Sun Shangxiang, Zhao Yun, Ling Tong, and Zhuge Ke!

Except for Guan Lin, any one of these characters in history is an "extraordinary" existence.

only…

They are in different positions.

Zhuge Ke's mission is to protect Adou and "take care of" Li Jingxiao in prison.

Sun Luban brought Sun Luyu here to inspect the local brothel and red house.

Sun Luban also generously bought a building... He wanted to take advantage of the Huajianliu Lane in Xiakou City, which is densely covered with rivers and a key road, to get more information that is beneficial to Soochow!

Sun Luban felt that she had grown up. Ever since Guan Lin was assassinated by her "little plan", she had become completely distracted. She kept criticizing her younger sister Sun Luyu all day long, looking forward and backward, what could be done?

Zhao Yun is responsible for imprisoning Sun Shangxiang...

Sun Shangxiang was also drunk. She thought she was returning home with her "son", but unexpectedly... she actually embarked on a road of no return!

Homecoming?

Does she still have a hometown?

As for Guan Lin, he has always been hiding in the dark. If it weren't for the arrival of a special "partner" in Xiakou today, Guan Lin would still not show his presence!

"I find that I can't understand you anymore——"

It was Lu Xun who spoke.

After learning that Guan Lin had faked his death, he rushed over immediately.

Of course, the reason why Guan Lin told Lu Xun the news was because Lu Xun could act. On the contrary, if Xia Houjuan and Zhang Xingcai... really deliberately acted, it would be easy for them to show their flaws.

"What can't you understand?"

Guan Lin replied lightly in response to Lu Xun's question.

Lu Xun pondered for a moment, as if to organize his words, "You said you cheated your death? Who believes it? Sun Quan and Cao Cao are not fools? Why did you deceive them like this? But Cao Cao... used every trick to get the news that you were dead. It’s spread all over the world!”

"If you're not afraid of him spreading it, you're just afraid he won't spread it!"

"Then what is your purpose?" Lu Xun then asked: "Is it to help your father conceal the action of diverting the Han River to pour into Fancheng? But will this be counterproductive? On the contrary, it will put Cao Cao on guard!"

Lu Xun's words were accompanied by his eager eyes.

He really wants to know what Guan Lin is going to do!

Guan Lin, on the other hand, took a sip of tea gently, as if he was indifferent, and didn't care at all. He didn't speak lightly until the tea was swallowed into his stomach.

"I do want to hide something, but it's not my father who diverted the Han River into Fancheng!"

"However, it is also related to this matter. Let's just use this matter to cover up my real and ulterior purpose!"

Ps:

(Readers, please don’t rush me!)

(If I tell a lie below, then I am a puppy, the kind destined to live alone!)

(I'm really sick, probably stomach-related, but I have severe diarrhea. I had a fever for four days and it stopped today, but the diarrhea didn't stop. As you can imagine, I went to the toilet fifteen times while typing this chapter! )

(I took medicine to stop diarrhea, but it didn’t help. I just felt cold in my stomach. It’s no exaggeration to say that now I feel like I’ve been ridden by ten young models. Oh no, that’s not accurate. I’m being ridden by ten young models. Ten big men were ridden, somewhere...it hurt so much that my heart ached!)

(I was drunk too. I went up the mountain for school training before, but out of nowhere there were a hundred people, sixty with diarrhea, and over thirty with fever. Unfortunately, I was the worst one. This may be because I often eat takeout and drink. It's related to cold drinks! The only thing I remember is that the day before I had diarrhea, I ate a lot of braised pork! It may also be that I went to visit the ruins of 'Sanyang Village', because it was closed and underground, and I was dried up by the miasma! In short, I started today From now on, I have stopped taking out all takeaways and only drink water and drinks. I will only drink room temperature drinks from now on! Braised pork is my life-long enemy!)

(If there is any lie in the above words, the sky will strike with thunder, so... Update, it’s not that I don’t want to update, I also know that this is a foreshadowing chapter. It was originally prepared in one day, but it took three days. You are not satisfied with me. I understand... I understand, but my... pain? My family, who understands?)

(After I recover, I will resume 10,000-word updates, but now... I just want to live! I think it’s not important at all for me to pay 500 yuan for one more chapter. Being free from illness and disaster is better than anything else!)
