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

The boiling river water ignited by the fire once again completely burned and cooked tens of thousands of Wei soldiers, as well as the Huainan navy that was most familiar with the terrain here!

Countless corpses floated in the middle of the river.

The cooked smell... is disgusting, but it has become the most delicious food for the fish and turtles in the river.

The river is still flowing eastward, but the people here... can no longer find their way home.

North of Lujiang River, Lu'an County.

The sound of horse hooves "ta da da da" seems messy...

An unkempt man, with dozens of personal guards behind him, they are galloping...

The defenders on the city tower had just heard the news of the "Ambush and Defeat at the Heart of the River". At this time... every soldier of the Wei army felt a little jealous. Hearing the sound of horse hooves below the city tower, they couldn't help but become nervous.

The leading captain shouted tremblingly: "Who is coming?"

seem…

These defenders...are extremely afraid of enemy attacks! Even if there are only a few dozen riders.

The wind is roaring!

The whole north of Lujiang River is filled with the sound of wind and cranes.

"It's me, Xu Huang, open the door quickly..."

A hoarse voice sounded…

The person who came was Xu Huang, but at this moment, he was as gray as if he had walked out of coal, and so were the guards behind him...

The whole thing looked extremely miserable.

Speaking of which, just this morning... Xu Huang's Huainan navy fell into Guan Lin's trick, and the entire fleet... more than 20,000 people were surrounded by fire.

The situation can be described as critical.

Xu Huang almost felt that his fate...was left here.

Fortunately... at the last moment, some personal guards found a small boat among the enemy's fire ships. Xu Huang and these personal guards quickly boarded the small boat and saved their lives.

This small boat was originally used for the last-minute escape of the sailors on the "fire ship".

But I didn't expect that Xu Huang's attack was so decisive. The last remaining sailors were disemboweled before they could board the boat to escape.

In this way, Xu Huang finally saved his life.

But... he escaped back in embarrassment, but... can those Huainan naval forces who followed him to fight come back?

"Crunch..."

In the dusk, the silent door slowly opened. It seemed that because of Xu Huang's return, the defenders on the city became more energetic.

but…

With a "thud" sound, after entering the city gate, Xu Huang turned over and dismounted... Then, he turned around, and with another "thump" sound, he knelt down, and he knelt down towards the river.

"Gone...tens of thousands of soldiers, more than a hundred ships...just...just gone!"

"I am a sinner...a sinner..."

As he spoke, Xu Huang was about to draw his sword and commit suicide...but when he touched his waist, he realized that his general's sword had long been lost!

He subconsciously went to get the ax again, but... the "stone-piercing ax" was also lost...

"Ah…"

Xu Huang couldn't help but smile bitterly.

A general who even lost his weapons and even committed suicide... didn't even have a weapon with him.

Satire…

This is the ultimate irony——

"Xu Gongming, what are you doing?"

At this time, Zhang Liao's voice came from far away... His illness has not yet been cured, but he can already go to the ground.

He was already aware of this defeat, and he seemed to see through the grief in Xu Huang's heart at a glance. He shouted loudly: "Isn't it just a defeat? In the past year or so...who among the generals in the Wei Dynasty has not been defeated? Gongming...why do you have to belittle yourself!"

Zhang Liao's words are a bit heartbreaking!

But...that's the truth.

The good news is that these words... made Xu Huang feel much better.

…

…

It's a bit cold in Wuhu Port today.

A ragged man appeared on the street. People always shun such beggars like snakes and scorpions.

It's just that... at this time, the people's attention was focused on the Jiangdong Queen, and under the new announcement, no one paid attention to an unkempt beggar.

The beggar was carrying a package. To be precise, it was not a package, but more like a piece of underwear (women's underwear, the predecessor of the bellyband) that someone had hung outside the house. Now it seems that the red underwear has almost been dyed. Painted brown.

The beggar walked to the port, stretched out his hand, and parted his disheveled hair, revealing a face full of filth and a pair of eyes with tears streaming down his face.

Although the distance from Jianye City to Wuhu Port was not far, he had to avoid being chased all over the city, pay for the troubles on the road, and hide his face. It was not easy to get here all the way.

There is no doubt that this beggar is Cao Pi.

When Jianye fell, the Soochow soldiers guarding him naturally dispersed, and he took advantage of the chaos to escape from the city.

The good news is... he is finally free and no longer has to be manipulated.

The bad news is... this place is thousands of miles away from Wei Dynasty. He... how is he going to get back?

From Jianye to Wuhu, even if it was only a distance of more than two hundred miles, after losing his title of envoy of the Wei Dynasty and son of the King of Wei, no one took him seriously anymore. This whole journey was all about stealing, begging, and being raped. He had been beaten, chased by dogs, and now...he...he finally arrived at Wuhu Port.

As long as you can cross the river and get to Huainan...

That... that's Wei's territory, and he... he can escape.

In the package beside him, in addition to some food that the dogs fought for, there were also two small boxes, which were the ashes of his good brothers Wu Zhi and Liu Zhen.

Because of the changes in the current situation, Wu Zhi and Liu Zhen were killed alive in front of Cao Pi due to Sun Quan's anger.

There was no one to collect their bodies, so Cao Pi spent a lot of money to find ways to buy their bodies and have them burned.

Leaving such a small amount of ashes, he wanted to bring the brother's ashes back to Wei. They had died in a foreign land, and he had to let them return to their roots.

Cao Pi was a man who valued friendship and righteousness.

But... the reality is that Cao Pi... doesn't even have the money to cross the river!

Who would have thought that the dignified young master of Wei would now be trapped by money...

Of course, Cao Pi was very experienced. He had already found a way to make money while being unkempt and avoiding pursuit by officers and soldiers - begging!

He seemed to be very experienced and first carefully placed the baggage on the ground to prevent it from scattering. Then he let out a "wow" sound, then choked silently, raised his hands to the sky, knelt on his knees, and used his hands like a chicken pecking at rice. Hitting my head to the ground...

"Well done, ladies and gentlemen, well done..."

From time to time, someone would see him pitifully and throw away a few coins.

However, the officers and soldiers who were ordered to hunt down Cao Pi came and went, but no one went to question the beggar...

Who would have thought that the majestic young master of Wei would be reduced to a beggar.

No one would have thought that the young master of the Wei Dynasty could shout out those extremely humble begging words:

"Look, look, there's a poor beggar here -"

"Hello, aunt, kind uncle, pity me, a poor guy -"

"Give me a piece of cake, give me some food, and wish you a long life and good health——"

Cao Pi shouted loudly with all his strength, his voice was extremely hoarse...

Yes, his voice has completely changed and become much more weathered along the way of begging and being treated with kindness. If it weren't for his strong and upright body, anyone would think that this beggar is at least over fifty years old.

at this time…

A ship enters the harbor.

A handsome young man walked down from the port, and there were many followers behind him. At the port...it seemed that someone dressed in plain clothes had been waiting for him.

It just so happens that this location is not far from Cao Pi.

After the young master came down, he quickly asked: "The young master who rebelled against Wei, has Cao Pi captured him?"

"Reporting to the young master, no!"

The questions and answers were loud, which naturally attracted Cao Pi's attention.

Although...Cao Pi felt that the visitor was unkind and should not act too deliberately, but...the conversation between the two people still attracted him, and he couldn't help but look at the handsome young master out of the corner of his eye.

But just by looking at it, Cao Pi trembled all over...

Because this young master is none other than Guan Lin!

You know, Guan Lin's portrait has long been spread throughout the north, how could Cao Pi not recognize it?

He quickly lowered his head, as if he was afraid of Guan Lin's gaze, or... the pressure brought by Guan Lin himself made him unable to raise his head.

It seems...because there is only such a beggar around, or maybe because Guan Lin is not afraid of anything, his voice is as high-pitched as ever.

"Continue to arrest, Cao Pi is Cao Cao's son. If he is captured, he can be a hostage and can sacrifice the flag for the three armies, but... if he is released, there will be endless troubles..."

"Here!"

Following the response of a group of plainclothes soldiers, Guan Lin stepped forward as if to move forward.

But just as he took one step, he seemed to notice the beggars around him, and asked a supplementary question, "Are there so many beggars in Jiangdong?"

The plainclothes soldier replied: "There have been frequent wars recently... the people are fearful and uneasy. Many people have moved their families, and bandits have also taken the opportunity to plunder. This has added to the number of poor homeless people, and the number of beggars has naturally increased. Quite a few.”

These words made Guan Lin nodded slightly. He took out a small bag of coins from his arms and threw it on the plate in front of Cao Pi. Guan Lin also patted Cao Pi on the shoulder and comforted him: "Be strong, everything will be fine!"

After that... he stepped away, no longer lingering, but in the same voice as before... he added an instruction to the plainclothes soldiers, "Issue a notice to search for Cao Pi throughout the city, and demand a heavy reward... life or death!"

After saying that, Guan Lin had already stepped onto the carriage that had been prepared. Lu Xun gave the beggar a meaningful look and got into the same carriage.

this…

On the other hand, Cao Pi at this moment seemed to have experienced a state of ice and fire in just a short moment.

Fortunately, Guan Lin is rich and generous. This big bag of money may be enough for him to take care of a boatman...to cross the river and reach Huainan...to escape.

Sadly, he has to be faster because Guan Lin... wants his life

With a "gudong" sound, Cao Pi subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva. At this moment, his hair stood on end. At this moment, he was... sweating profusely!

…

On the other hand, in the carriage at this moment.

Guan Lin and Lu Xun sat face to face.

While riding in the carriage and having nothing to do... Guan Lin is still writing the subsequent chapters of "Journey to the West".

Speaking of which...Liu Chan couldn't wait to have Pegasus update eight times a day.

The most recent time, a messenger brought the "blade".

Guan Lin also experienced it firsthand. Urging for updates... can really kill you!

But... "Journey to the West" has been written, and Sun Wukong has been named a fighting and victorious Buddha...

There is no reminder!

Simply, Guan Lin... I can only bite the bullet and continue writing, and write "Journey to the West"... the story about the spiritual mountain of the Buddha "Tathagata" being occupied by the villain "Wutian", and then Monkey King saves the world. !

certainly…

There was a popular saying in it, which deeply impressed Guan Lin.

——"You fell down before I even exerted any force!" 』

At this moment, Guan Lin just wrote this sentence.

Lu Xun seemed to have been contemplating for a long time. Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "Didn't Yun Qi notice the beggar just now?"

"What?" Lu Xun's words made Guan Lin stop writing and raised his eyes to look at him, "Did Boyan notice something was wrong?"

"How can a beggar have such a tall and straight figure, and the calluses on his hands are obviously left behind by practicing martial arts..."

"So..." Guan Lin asked next.

Lu Xun said solemnly, "Although he is a beggar and always lowers his head to hide some of his face,... those deliberately hidden features on his cheeks are too similar to the portrait of Cao Pi. I don't believe it, Yun Qi, you Didn’t you see his identity?”

Lu Xun's words... completely made Guan Lin put down his pen.

However, Lu Xun's serious expression made Guan Lin grin and said with a smile, "Of course I know he is Cao Pi. I already knew it before I even got off the boat!"

ah…

Guan Lin's words shocked Lu Xun.

Guan Lin's words continued, "Jianye City encountered chaos, and Cao Pi disappeared without a trace... Just imagine, where would Cao Pi go if he escaped?"

"port!"

"Yes, it is the port, but he is not entangled... He has no horses, and he has to evade the pursuers. It is not easy to cross the river from Wuhu Port, so... I am sure that he will beg while heading towards Wuhu Port. Moving forward... As for begging, don't forget, I am still Hong Qigong, the leader of the Beggar Clan, and there are always disciples of the Beggar Clan traveling around Jiangdong. It is actually not difficult to find Cao Pi's whereabouts."

this…

I see.

Lu Xun nodded deeply. It seemed...his guess was not wrong.

etc…

Lu Xun suddenly came to his senses, and he quickly asked, "In that case...then why let Cao Pi go? Why did you mention arresting him in front of him? What else do you mean... life or death? What is the purpose of scaring him like this?"

Lu Xun asked, but his eyes were filled with desire.

And Guan Lin's words were completely beyond his expectation, and even... made him a little stunned.

"My purpose... is to make him escape Jiangdong urgently, quickly and immediately..."

"Ah..." Lu Xun exclaimed, "Why? Keep him in Jiangdong... One can be used as a hostage, and both can be killed to sacrifice the flag to boost morale... This... isn't this what you said, Yun Qi?"

"That's right." Guan Lin nodded slowly, but he continued, "But there is one thing. Cao Cao is already sixty years old, and he suffers from a headache. How many years can he last? Compared with using Cao Pi as a hostage, it is better to kill him than to use Cao Pi as a hostage. He sacrificed the flag and raised the morale of that short period of time... More important than these is... after Cao Cao's death... the turmoil within Cao Wei! Boyan, have you forgotten how the Yuan family in Runan perished? "

this…

What Lu Xun suddenly thought of was that after Yuan Shao's death, the four states of Qing, Ji, You, and Bing were garrisoned by three sons and one nephew respectively.

Even before Cao Cao called... the inside was already in chaos!

A thousand-mile embankment was destroyed by an ant nest!

Fortresses are often breached from the inside first, and hegemony is often disintegrated from the inside!

At this point, Guan Lin's tone became serious and meticulous. He counted on his fingers and said: "Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi, Cao Xiong... none of these legitimate sons can be missing! Only in this way... can we... …”

As he spoke, Guan Lin showed Lu Xun the latest line of writing in the latest volume of "Journey to the West" he wrote.

Lu Xun was startled...

This line actually read: "You fell down before I even exerted any force -"

…

…

In Shanyin County, Kuaiji, flags are flying and the north wind is howling.

Guan Lin is rarely seen wearing armor, sitting high on a horse, and his magnanimity is just that, far inferior to his father Guan Yu.

Speaking of which, Guan Lin was new here. As soon as he arrived in Wuhu, he rushed non-stop to Shanyin County, the seat of Kuaiji.

There are two major events here today. One...Sun Quan was escorted back, and the other...Kaicheng of Shanyin County surrendered——

At this moment, there was a dull sound.

The gate of Shanin City is open...

Guan Lin turned to his father and said, "Dad, it's time to surrender!"

"You planned Jiangdong, and you destroyed the city. It is my son who should accept the surrender!" Guan Yu held the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, but he restrained the red rabbit horse and did not step forward. He wanted to let Guan Yu Lin walked in the front.

Following Guan Yu's words, soldiers on both sides of the Shanyin City Tower shouted in unison, "Welcome to the Fourth Young Master——"

"Welcome to the Fourth Young Master!"

"Welcome to the Fourth Young Master!"

For a moment, the mountains roared and the tsunami...

call…

Guan Lin let out a long breath and then drove his horse forward. Guan Yu followed closely behind Guan Lin, like a "chief guard", looking around vigilantly to ensure his son's safety.

The officials of Shanyin City have already left the city...

Lu Dai, Lu Fan, Tian Yi, Xie Jing, and Kan Ze are all at the city gate, but they have different expressions...

Lu Dai, Tian Yi, and Xie Jing breathed a long sigh of relief.

Lu Fan and Kan Ze had heavy hearts and complex expressions.

Sun Quan was also escorted by dozens of soldiers and led over from one side with his hands tied behind his back.

When he saw Guan Lin and Guan Yu, he felt crestfallen and ashamed. He knelt down with difficulty and said, "Thank you so much, General Guan and Fourth Young Master Guan, for not killing me!"

Guan Yu glanced at Sun Quan contemptuously...ignoring the prisoner of his rank and riding his horse straight past Sun Quan, but the horse's hoof stepped on Sun Quan's sleeve.

On the contrary, Guan Lin dismounted and walked into Sun Quan, and pulled out a dagger with a "swish" sound.

Lu Fan and Kan Ze were shocked when they saw this scene, and Kan Ze shouted angrily.

"Guan Lin? What do you want to do?"

Just as he chanted his words, the sound of "Hang, Hug" resounded with swords and spears striking the ground. These sounds were made by the Guan family's army, the Mi family's army, and Guan Lin's soldiers.

This deafening sound that resounded throughout the world made Sun Quan tremble...

It also shocked Kan Ze and Lu Fan, so that they did not dare to step forward rashly.

But at this moment...

There was only a "swipe" sound, and Guan Lin's dagger swung open Sun Quan's shackles...

He said calmly, "Although it is unjust for Marquis Wu to take Jingzhou, it is the only way for Jiangdong to break the situation. The world calls you a rat, but I don't blame you. Maybe I would do the same thing in your position." , but... it is precisely because of this that Jingzhou takes Jiangdong... it is really a forced move! The three pillars... the two legs must not fall into internal friction. It is better to draw fuel from the bottom of the cauldron than to stop the boiling... I can only forcefully connect Jingzhou and Jiangdong into one!"

this…

Sun Quan raised his eyes, as if he noticed what Guan Lin was going to do.

——"Buying people's hearts and creating the illusion... that he was forced to conquer Soochow?" 』

——"But even if I know that he wants to win people's hearts, I...what else can I do?" He...will he really let me go? 』

In Sun Quan's complicated eyes, Guan Lin directly ordered the soldiers beside him: "Come here, escort Wu Hou back to his mansion to rest..."

More than a dozen soldiers came over to help him up. Sun Quan seemed to have some life-saving straw and asked hurriedly: "Fourth Young Master Guan, may I ask...how are my family members? How are my sisters? How are my two daughters?"

Guan Lin showed an extremely friendly side, "Wu Guotai, Mrs. Bu Lianshi, Mrs. Sun Shangxiang, the two princesses Sun Luban and Sun Luyu have all been sent back to the house!"

"Thank you so much, Master Guan! Then... can I still move around in Jiangdong and visit my old friends?"

Sun Quan's words couldn't help but make Guan Lin smile and ask: "Wu Hou, the current situation is like this...don't you hear that 'it is better to look at each other in the rivers and lakes than to help each other?'"

Just as Guan Lin finished speaking.

"Ha ha ha ha…"

Lu Fan smiled, and so did Kan Ze. They looked up to the sky and smiled miserably, as if they despised Sun Quan extremely and lamented in despair.

Kan Ze shouted loudly: "Wu Hou? Why beg him? Since I have been captured by Guan Si, then... can I still escape from his clutches? Die sooner, die later, sooner or later... It's better to die decently." !”

At this time, Sun Quan had been half-supported and half-held hostage, but he was still looking back sentimentally and said: "Derun, Ziheng... don't make mistakes in front of the Fourth Young Master Guan and Guan Gong... No, no..."

Guan Lin had slowly walked in front of Lu Fan and Kan Ze, "I heard that the Marquis of Wu compared General Lu to the 'Wu Han' who was the founding hero of the Han Dynasty when Guangwu Zhongxing. I heard... Mr. Kan Ze is proficient in astrology and can even calculate... nine stars. Continuously benefit Soochow, retreat from Jingzhou! I'm curious, isn't this calculation of the nine-star continuation correct? During the Han Dynasty, five stars came out of the East to benefit China. This time, nine stars came out of the East. Then China will dominate the world. Until the sun and the moon shine on them, they will all be Han people!"

this…

Guan Lin's words shocked Lu Fan and Kan Ze. Lu Fan opened his mouth to refute, but didn't know what to say.

Kan Ze sneered and said: "Nine stars coming out of the east... It is not for your benefit after all, Guan Si, huh... You can deceive Sun Quan and the people of Jiangdong, but you can't deceive me... Yes, you won today, but in the confrontation between the north and the south, Jiangdong is bound to Will be involved in the continuous flames of war, you Guan Lin... you are proud for a moment, but you are destined to be hated by the people of Jiangdong for a lifetime! It is you who disturbed the peace here, it is you who turned this peaceful land into a Shura field... Your sins, your future Even the water from the Yangtze River cannot wash away the carnage and bloodstains caused!"

Guan Lin listened calmly to Kan Ze's words. He first looked back at his father Guan Yu, and saw his Danfeng eyes opening and closing, and the Green Dragon Sword in his hand was raised high...

It was as if, as long as Guan Lin gave them a look, Lu Fan and Kan Ze would definitely raise their swords and their heads would fall to the ground.

Mi Fang, Guan Ping, Zhou Cang, Wang Fu, Zhao Lei, Guan Yinping... beside Guan Yu also had a sense of excitement.

At this time, if Kan Ze dared to say such "slanderous" words about Guan Lin, he would probably die.

Never thought...

Guan Lin quickly withdrew his eyes, looked at Kan Ze calmly, and replied lightly: "How long is the Yangtze River? It lasts for thousands of generations... but the sea is longer. The killings and bloodstains in the east corner of the river are different from these thousands of generations, and this... Compared with the world that is vaster than the Han Dynasty, it is still too short, too short... No one can really understand the celestial phenomena, and no one can see the end of history. All we can see is today, and only from Jiangdong... and more It’s about going north to slay the Wei Dynasty, and it’s also about colonizing the world in the Age of Discovery!”

"If we want to make sure that wherever the stars and rivers reach and the sun and the moon shine on are all Han lands, then it is destined that someone will have to bear more and open up more. I will keep your life and let you see what Jiangdong is like in your eyes. The world is so small, and what I want to do... what Jiangdong wants to do is so majestic!"
