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

it's over!

It seemed that everything was over since the head of the general on the white horse was chopped off.

"Ha ha ha ha…"

Zhu Zhi laughed excitedly when he saw that "Gan Ning", whom he hated so much that he gritted his teeth, was finally beheaded.

"My son, no one can wrong you again——"

"Nephew Zhu Yi, you know the truth, and your great revenge will be avenged——"

"Hmph, how can you, Gan Ning, be able to sway the four surnames of Wu?"

Not only Zhu Zhi was so excited, but the entire Zhu family was roaring and venting... They had killed a world-famous "famous general". This honor brought endless pride!

But, they forgot...

In the past, for whom was the pride released by this famous general for?

"Dong dong dong..."

Countless horse hooves trampled hard around the white horse.

Some soldiers went to check "Gan Ning's" body.

However, when... the black cloth on the owl's head and cheeks was torn off, the whole place became quiet.

this? Where is Gan Ning here?

this…

Zhu Zhi, who was still laughing up to the sky just now, seemed to have suddenly shrunk. His laughter was still echoing, but... this smile was inexplicably awkward.

——Being fooled!

Only then did Zhu Zhi realize that they had been tricked——

…

…

Gan Ning had already abandoned his horse, and several water bandit brothers were carrying him along the river bank.

The soil on the riverside is very soft, one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Because there was a light rain, two water thieves brothers took off their tattered clothes and covered Gan Ning tightly to protect him from the cold rain.

The two water thieves brothers were shirtless and shivering in the rain.

Not long after, Huo Long and several others caught up. They looked at each other and continued walking toward the port without saying too much.

There, they have a boat!

Can help Brother Gan escape from the place of right and wrong.

They didn't dare to ride a horse, as it would make too much noise and easily attract attention. They had to rely on their own legs to support a fainting person and move forward step by step with difficulty!

Gan Ning's consciousness was blurred, and he was completely confused, but... it seemed that he heard voices one after another, like questions coming from the bottom of his heart sincerely.

——"The silver bell is about to die, where will the golden sail go?"

——"The waves remain the same, what is the way back?"

——"If I can't serve the Lord, who will support the Lord's foundation? Huh... did I end up feeding the dog with my loyalty and courage?"

Every sentence, every sound as thin as a gossamer, seems to be God's confession to Gan Ning.

However, God is still too cruel. The sentence he finally chanted was - "The silver bell has lost its sound, the brocade sail has sunk! There is no way back to Soochow!"

——‘The way home? Return! 』

In the confusion, Gan Ning's mouth kept chanting the word "return". He was asking about his return and the return of his brothers!

Even if he fainted, he was so dizzy that he didn't feel at ease!

…

Finally arrived at the port.

Who would have thought that this place was already heavily guarded, and it was not Zhu Zhi, nor the Tiger Cavalry from the dormitory position, who could not have arrived so quickly.

It’s Zhu Ran…

After hearing that Gan Ning had assassinated the Zhu family's residence at night, Zhu Ran, who returned to the port, did not return to his home for support. He quickly led his men to blockade the entire port.

Five people formed a team, and each team lit a torch. The torches everywhere were like bright and dazzling glass lamps, illuminating the port as if it were daytime.

certainly.

Compared to the all-pervasive light during the day, these lights at night can clearly illuminate every corner of an empty port.

But the entire port fence... was heavily pressed down, and there were still large areas of dark shadows.

The port is still too big!

"this…"

It seemed that the exclamations of the water bandit brothers beside him woke Gan Ning up.

Gan Ning managed to open his weak eyes, and when he saw the scene in front of him, his heart sank, and he coughed continuously.

What a despairing scene!

Zhu Ran, the young patriarch of the Zhu family, stood in front of the port, his eyes bright and majestic.

It was as if he was using that soul-stirring cold light to tell Gan Ning not to leave here.

"what to do?"

"Otherwise, just kill it and capture a ship..."

"It's too natural to take it for granted. Since Zhu Ran is guarding the port, then... why wouldn't he guard those ships tightly? I'm afraid, I'm afraid he won't be able to rush through..."

Here, the water thieves brothers beside Gan Ning were looking down and stamping their feet in despair.

Over there, Zhu Ran's men were reporting step by step.

"All the ships along the coast have gathered in the port, and there are no ships on the entire coast..."

"The clan leader sent word that Gan Ning is escaping...the clan leader means that he can only escape to this port!"

"Young Patriarch, we have sent extra manpower to search nearby..."

"Young Patriarch, the Patriarch is sending people to rush here to help, let the Young Patriarch hold on!"

Just when the fourth player was reporting...

Zhu Ran noticed something keenly, it was a reed.

The reeds in this season are not high enough to completely cover Gan Ning and his party.

Coupled with the fact that Zhu Ran was young, had keen eyesight, and could see clearly, he still spotted the figure in the reeds outside the port.

"Ah…"

He sneered, and then signaled to the people around him to be alert. Immediately, the group of people walked step by step towards the direction of the reed.

"Has it been discovered?"

The voice was as thin as a gossamer, and for a moment, the water thief brothers beside Gan Ning were extremely nervous.

Even Gan Ning clenched his fists desperately, but...he found that now...he was neither mentally nor physically strong enough to fight!

——'Is it over? 』

——"Is everything over?" 』

Gan Ning couldn't help but ask himself.

Zhu Ran, on the other hand, was almost certain that the person in front of him was Gan Ning...and the remnants of his brocade sail.

snort…

With a cold snort, Zhu Ran shouted at the top of his lungs: "General Gan, I am a junior. I would like to advise you not to be stubborn... Capture me immediately, and I may spare your life! Also, General Gan, you know that I Yes, my purpose of arresting you is just for the safety of Mrs. Sun. Where did you take Mrs. Sun abducted to? Tell me...I will protect you from death, but if you still don't tell me, then don't blame this junior for slashing her with a knife. Your body forces you to say..."

"Force your mother to—"

Gan Ning had no strength, but the water thieves brothers beside him were all bad-tempered masters.

Now that Zhu Ran was insulting Brother Gan so openly, how could he remain calm?

Everyone is eager to try and compete with each other!

Seeing the crowds of people, Zhu Ran had already put his hand on the handle of the knife, and so did all his men.

But the shocking change happened at this moment, coming from those deep darkness.

Black shadows sprang out from inside the port frequently, as fast as a shadowless whirlwind. Even Zhu Ran and Yi Qian's men didn't see clearly when the deadly cold light flashed and where it quietly returned.

Just overnight...

Countless cold lights pierced out from behind!

Including Zhu Ran, countless members of the Zhu family fell heavily, their blood turning cold in the spring night, and their faint screams seemed to disappear in a flash.

quick…

too fast!

Like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

In almost a quarter of an hour, more than a hundred men in costumes had taken back the port!

Zhu Ran's dozens of subordinates have been wiped out. They are sharpening their swords and full of murderous intent, but... they are so orderly!

No one knows when they lurked here?

No one knows how they escaped the Zhu family's successive searches!

On the contrary... speaking of this port, Zhu Ran was far less familiar with it than the other young man from Soochow.

"Ling...Ling Gongji?"

When something unexpected happened and the man in the leading costume took off his black robe and mask, Gan Ning's pupils widened and he looked at the man in front of him in disbelief.

——It’s Ling Tong!

"Gan Xingba! How did you end up like this..." Ling Tong said calmly: "Remember a few months ago, during the battle of Feishui, you openly asked for a fight, hoping to repeat your heroic feat of plundering Cao's camp with a hundred cavalry! But all the rats from Soochow are holding back and have no one to support them. It’s me, Ling Tong, who can give you a helping hand!”

"It was the consequences of this incident that allowed me to see the true faces of Sun Quan and Soochow clearly... In the past, it was also on this riverside that you willingly spared my life and let me go. Today, I’ll save you once! Let’s clear things up!”

Obviously this rescue was because Ling Tong was an unparalleled national scholar and because of his high righteousness!

But...Ling Tong insisted on making up this series of reasons.

Also talking about "two clearings"...

Is his hatred, connection, and bond with Gan Ning clear?

"Haha...ahem...hahaha..."

Gan Ning laughed out loud with great difficulty.

He forced his eyes to look at Ling Tong. He felt that this matter was too ironic. He wholeheartedly worked for Soochow and Sun Quan. Even in the past... Zhou Yu's tragic death without knowing the truth, he always supported Sun Quan and stood by Sun Quan's side!

What can be exchanged for?

Does his river's heart shine on the bright moon?

But the bright moon may not be shining on the center of the river!

On the contrary, in the end, he supported Gan Ning, stood with him, and fought side by side... The one who led him to escape was the man with whom he had sworn sworn hatred, who killed his father and had a deep hatred!

How ironic?

How ironic!

Ling Tong's words continued: "The ship is ready. If you have anything to say, you should take good care of yourself first. Don't be as... weak and weak as you are now! Is this still the Gan Xingba I know?"

Ling Tong's words were like stings, but... undoubtedly, they were very effective!

At least Gan Ning was enlightened.

"Ha ha…"

Gan Ning smiled bitterly with difficulty, but his smile was extremely sad. He turned his head and looked back at this land. His slightly tearful eyes suddenly became as hot as fire: "I...ahem...I am willing Xingba, one day... will insert his spear into the heads of Sun Quan and these Jiangdong clans!"

It's like leaving a harsh word at the end to vent the sadness in my heart.

Gan Ning's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes turned back to the awning boats that were already ready at the pier.

"Walk--"

"Walk--"

Hoarse, decisive, ruthless...

The word "go" that Gan Ning chanted was "like piercing the skin", causing his lips to tremble violently.

The silver bell has lost its sound, and the brocade sail has sunk!

More than a hundred brothers, their souls return to Jiangkou!

The kindness has passed, and the hatred must be repaid——

Since you can't be a loyal minister and protect your master, then you can become a rebellious minister and kill your old master.

——The arrow has been cocked, never look back

…

…

Zhu Ran! dead!

Corpse…

When Zhu Zhi rushed to the port, he saw the scene in front of him. Dozens of people, including his son Zhu Ran, were all choked by the cold blade.

At this moment, Zhu Zhi's gray temples began to tremble in the dim light of the night, and his clear cheeks seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and his voice full of tears came out.

"My son...my son!"

The rest of the group looked at each other, unable to believe the scene in front of them...

Gan Ning, who was at the end of his battle, led the group of "sad soldiers" and they successfully broke through... escaped, escaped!

At this time, Sun Quan and Lu Meng had also arrived, along with Zhang Zhao, Zhang Wen, Gu Yong, Zhou Tai and others...

Under the quiet starry sky, corpses lay everywhere, inexplicably adding a lot of desolation to the port.

Sun Quan saw the Zhu family members searching for their comrades among the corpses.

I also saw Zhu Zhi kneeling in front of the body of his son Zhu Ran and wailing.

He is crying about someone "stealing a chicken but losing a piece of rice". He is crying, what does it mean to "lose a son and lose an army"...

Finally, even Sun Quan couldn't stand such an atmosphere. Cold sweat ran down his back and shivers rolled down his vest: "Who, who can tell me what happened here?"

As soon as this statement came out, Zhou Xun appeared at the right time.

With a "click" sound, he knelt down in front of Sun Quan and said, "Report to the lord, the general will be guilty..."

"explain--"

What appeared at the same time as Sun Quan's cold "say" was his frosty expression.

Zhou Xun reported truthfully, "It's all the fault of the general. In fact... yesterday morning, I went to see Gan Ning and openly questioned the authenticity of the lieutenant general he proposed... Gan Ning, who had already refuted it, was speechless. He was sent to prison for rigorous interrogation. He was just grateful for his high position and great achievements over the years, so he hesitated! He planned to report to the lord and then detain him! But he never thought that Gan Ning would... jump over the wall in a hurry. , actually... alas... alas..."

At the end of the sentence, Zhou Xuan glanced around, let out a long sigh, and finally emphasized, "The crime will be punished by death——"

"It's not your fault!"

Sun Quan shook his head helplessly...

Zhou Xun was able to find out Gan Ning's unpredictable intentions through a lieutenant, which shows that he is extremely capable. Due to Gan Ning's identity and merits, it makes sense that he did not arrest Gan Ning decisively. Zhou Xun did not have any problems.

The problem is, Gan Ning... is so brave!

But he, Sun Quan, underestimated this fierce man!

"Huh...huh..."

After moaning softly twice in a row, Sun Quan twitched the corner of his mouth with a sneer, staring at the wick of the torch set up next to Zhu Ran's body, his eyes dark, he opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he still didn't say anything.

Zhu Zhi, on the other hand, noticed Sun Quan's arrival. He hugged Sun Quan's thigh and said, "My lord, my lord... I, please take the Zhu family tribe... to attack Jingzhou... to avenge my son and my nephew." ...hate...hate!"

Zhu Zhi was crying while speaking.

Sun Quan quickly helped up the leader of the "Jiangdong Great Clan", and just as he was about to speak, a very light and thin voice came out from beside him. It was Lu Meng's voice, "My lord, the time has not come yet, you must not act rashly——"

Lu Meng's words were as thin as a gossamer, and only Sun Quan could hear them.

It was this sentence that made Sun Quan's eyes suddenly brighten. He immediately took back the words he was about to say, and replaced them with harsh words: "Why Jingzhou? Is General Zhu confused?"

Uh...this...

Zhu Zhi looked at Sun Quan blankly, his eyes full of disbelief.

He seemed to be saying, "Isn't this...isn't it a sure thing?" Gan Ning left Soochow...where else could he go besides Jingzhou? Is it possible to join the Jiaozhou scholar family who is the leader of the army? Or is it Cao Wei, who has a deep hatred against him? None of this is possible! 』

Of course, these words only passed through Zhu Zhi's mind for a moment, and he did not dare to openly refute Sun Quan.

At this time, Sun Quan's voice had already come out, "Published the imperial edict, Gan Ning kidnapped the princess and assassinated the Zhu Mansion at night. This is an unforgivable crime. From now on, he will be regarded as a traitor to our country in Soochow. If anyone takes Gan Ning in , that is regarded as declaring war on Soochow! But if someone falsely accuses other countries and alienates the alliance, he will also be regarded as a sinner of Soochow and be punished with Gan Ning——"

this…

Undoubtedly, the first half of this edict was addressed to Soochow, but the second half was addressed to Zhu Zhi.

"Lord...Lord..."

Zhu Zhiyou felt so sad and angry that he left one last sentence, then angrily waved his hand and rode away!

Sun Quan, on the other hand, quickly called Gu Yong to his side and whispered: "I'd like to ask Mr. Gu to appease General Zhu Zhi. He said that the time has not yet arrived for a surprise attack on Jingzhou. He asked him to give Gu Yong three months, and Gu asked him to attack it himself." Jingzhou, personally kill Gan Ning!"

call…

Hearing this, Gu Yong took a deep breath, and he immediately understood Sun Quan's good intentions.

"Old minister, I'll go right now..."

While talking, Gu Yong quickly got into the carriage and galloped towards Zhu's Mansion.

In this way, a turbulent night with red bayonets came to an end. Gradually, the Zhu family tribe dispersed, and the Suwei Tiger Cavalry was also cleaning up this bloody battlefield.

Sun Quan looked at the faint moonlight and couldn't help but ponder.

Familiar names seemed to flash through his mind:

——Tai Shi Ci, Zhou Yu, Huang Gai!

——Zhuge Ke, Lu Xun, Ling Tong, Gan Ning!

"Why? Why do you all betray Gu? Why can't you understand Gu's painstaking efforts? It's easy to maintain Soochow alone...it's easy to be alone! Is it easy to be alone? 』

At this time...

I don’t know whether it was because of Sun Quan’s bad expression or because Lu Meng had something to report, but Lu Meng walked to Sun Quan’s side again.

But don't wait for him to speak.

Sun Quan was the first to speak, and as always, his voice was as thin as a gossamer: "Prepare the army for war, I want to capture Jingzhou in early July! I want Gan Xingba's head, I want Guan Yunchang's head, I want Guan Lin's Head... hum——"

Lu Meng listened to Sun Quan's words calmly. He gritted his teeth and was about to agree...

Sun Quan's words preceded him and continued.

"Where's Cao Pi? Let Cao Pi come to see Gu——"

Sun Quan was already a little hysterical...

In the past, he was unwilling to have too deep an agreement with Cao Cao, and just regarded the agreement as a 'tacit understanding'. But now, he decided to agree on a date and jointly send troops!

He, Sun Quan, couldn't bear it anymore!

…

…

Messages travel extremely quickly.

On the evening of the second day after the accident occurred, Gan Ning was recovering from his injuries in Jiangbei and had not yet arrived in Xiakou, but Cao Pi's letter was already placed on the table in the palace of King Wei of Xu Ducheng.

Placed on the table at the same time as Cao Pi's letter was a handwritten letter from Cao Ren.

On the other hand, Cao Cao seemed calm and relaxed. There was a complete set of chimes placed in the middle of the palace. Cao Cao personally held a small hammer and sang to himself.

"Qingqing Zijin, my heart is so long, but for the sake of you, I still ponder it -"

Jia Xu had just arrived, standing aside and tapping his hands in rhythm with his bamboo stick.

The bells outside seemed to cater to Cao Cao, and the bells also rang.

Cao Cao put down the hammer, walked back to the desk, and threw the two letters to Jia Xu, "Wenhe, let's take a look? One is from Zixiao. Chen Ming, Guan Yu is really digging a reservoir." , a letter came from Zihuan, who told Gu that Sun Zhongmou would make an appointment with Gu to attack Guan Yu together!"

this…

Jia Xu hesitated slightly at first, then scanned the two letters in a row, grinned slightly, and said with a bit of slyness: "My lord, this is a good thing! Haha... I guess my lord already has a countermeasure?"

"Hahahaha..." Cao Cao laughed, and then did not hide anything, and told Jia Xu directly, "I have promised to recruit 100,000 strong men, so Guan Yu wants to secretly dig canals on the south bank of the Han River to divert water, so I will The north bank of the Han River will also be dug secretly to divert water. When the reservoirs on both sides of the bank are dug at the same time, the entire Xiangfan battlefield will be reduced to a vast ocean!"

Well…

Hearing this, Jia Xu paused and said, "King Wei, if that's the case... wouldn't General Zixiao also become a fish in the water?"

"Hahaha..." Hearing this, Cao Cao laughed, and while laughing, he explained: "Wenhe, I also have an order to use all the efforts of the Wei Dynasty to build ships, reserve sandbags, and then pass these ships through Yanzhou and Yuzhou. The branches and sandbags were secretly transported to Fancheng!"

At this point, Cao Cao paused, "It's true that the battlefield in Xiangfan will turn into a vast ocean, but Gu... but it will take thousands of warships to allow my soldiers of the Wei Dynasty to sail unimpeded in the vast ocean, and Gu will have to use tens of thousands of warships." , hundreds of thousands of sandbags, let Fancheng, Yancheng, and Pinglu City refuse the Han River's intrusion! By then..."

Cao Cao's eyes became extremely determined, and he emphasized again and again, "At that time, Xiangyang, the lost Xiangyang, will be recaptured. As for...Jiangling and Jingnan..."

Having said this, Cao Cao paused for a moment. He didn't know if he specifically left the next words to Jia Xu for him to express himself.

Jia Xu rolled his eyes, and finally blurted out in Cao Cao's domineering atmosphere:

"Actually, King Wei wants Sun Quan of Soochow to attack Jiangling and Jingnan counties!"

"Hahaha..." Cao Cao laughed happily for the third time. Each time he laughed louder and louder, he was so excited that he started to ring the bell again.

As the bell rang, Cao Cao said solemnly: "Gu Ruo knew that Sun Zhongmou was such a young man. In the past... I would never have recited the sentence 'I should give birth to a son like Sun Zhongmou', but..."

"Now the lonely Wei Dynasty needs such a rat. In July...I want the entire Jingzhou to overthrow——"

Cao Cao has such a strong tone.

In fact, if Jingzhou was so easy to overthrow, why would Cao Cao be so haggard and vicissitudes of life!

However, this time... Jia Xu felt that Cao Cao's tone was neither too loud nor too small, just right!

Jingzhou overturned...

If the Han River flows back and the Xiangfan battlefield becomes a vast ocean, even if Cao Wei's countless ships prepared in advance cannot capture Xiangyang, as long as Guan Yu can be held back, then... Soochow's backstab will be a fatal blow——

The situation could really overturn.

As for, in the future... if Jingzhou returns to Sun Quan, that... would be very interesting.

Jia Xu seemed to have seen the not-too-distant future, when the Sun-Liu alliance was shattered and fell apart...attacking each other, while Cao Wei...sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight.

As the saying goes, when two tigers compete for food, the hunter wins——

…
