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

The morning light was dim, and under Yangpingguan, there was a deafening sound of horse hooves from far to near, making the earth here tremble gently.

Looking up, I saw a group of people appearing at the end of the official road outside Sunshine Pass. The bright banner with the word "Feng" fluttered in the wind under the sky, and the bright armor shone with a dazzling luster.

"Kill, kill, kill..."

"Uuuuuu——"

Uniform shouts of death and attack horns sounded at the same time.

For a moment, the jagged sword thrust straight into the sky, glowing with a cold light;

The horse's hooves sticking to the ground made a heavy "rumbling" sound and rushed towards them with an unstoppable momentum.

"Definitely..."

"Da da da…"

The neighing of war horses and the sound of hoofbeats were intertwined.

The horses are galloping, and the dust raised is billowing, coming like a sea wave, which is daunting and terrifying.

However, that's not the scariest thing.

The sound of these horse hooves is just to clean up the battlefield and eliminate every antler and obstacle outside Yangping Pass...

The real siege equipment was already behind them. Like a dormant giant beast, it suddenly stood upright and moved forward slowly with a tall, mighty and unquestionable appearance.

On the other hand, the defenders at Yangping Pass had just woken up from their sleepy eyes. When they came back to their senses, what they saw in front of them was already covered with black soldiers, coming like a tide, accompanied by hoarse shouts and countless strong soldiers. The crossbows had already burst out from the crossbow carts one after another and hit the city head of Yangpingguan.

"Boom..."

"Boom..."

The deafening sound was extremely real and extremely cruel. On top of the city... a Wei soldier was in a daze one moment, and the next moment he was smashed into a puddle of soft mud by a powerful crossbow that suddenly fell from the sky.

Only then did the defenders at Yangping Pass wake up from their dreams. They shouted: "Enemy attack... Enemy attack..."

Soon, Xia Houyuan and his sons Xia Houheng, Xia Houba, and Xia Houchen had climbed to the top of the city.

As he stepped forward, Xia Houyuan ordered, "Don't panic, the generals will each guard the dangerous places. Heng'er, you go command the archers, draw the strings fully, and release the arrows -"

"Ba'er, open the arsenal on the city tower and ask the soldiers to quickly bring in wooden arrows and stones and throw them at the invading enemy——"

"Wen'er, you lead a group of soldiers to supervise the battle at the top of the city. If you see soldiers who want to retreat, you can kill them on the spot. If you see the wounded, rescue them as soon as possible-"

Following Xia Houyuan's instructions...

Xiahou Heng, Xiahou Ba, and Xiahou all said in unison and raised their hands: "I obey!"

Suddenly…

The whole Yang Ping closed, only experienced a brief panic, and quickly became orderly.

Speaking of which, during this period... Liu Feng's army was approaching the city... Xia Houyuan was not idle either.

All the Wei soldiers and generals, including him, were prepared for this. What's more, no one here thought that the Shu army, which only had a small victory, was capable enough to storm the towering and solid Yangping Pass.

…

Under the city gate.

Wu Yi was sitting in the center of the army. He held up the command flag and shouted loudly: "Send the order. The first one to climb Yangping Pass will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins and promoted to the third level -"

"promise…"

"Da da da…"

The messenger rode forward quickly on his horse, shouting as he galloped, "The general has an order. The first person to climb Yangping Pass will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins, and be promoted to the third level... The first person to climb Yangping Pass will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins, and be promoted to the third level!"

At this time, the sky had just broken, but for a while, Yangpingguan came down from the mountains and roared with tsunamis, and the fire was bright...

The siege troops came like a tide, and all kinds of old siege equipment such as ladders, rams, and trebuchets were readily available.

As for Lu Gong's chariot, double-hook chariot, and eight-oxen crossbow... these brand-new siege equipment were also partly used on the siege battlefield here because of Huang Yueying, giving the enemy troops defending the city a sudden attack!

"Swish swish——"

Countless arrows were also shot from the city gate, like locusts passing through.

"Shield array, go up...cover the ladder——"

"Charge forward and kill——"

The soldiers of the Shu army shouted, braved the rain of arrows and rolling stones, and charged forward regardless of their own safety.

On the city tower, the Wei soldiers guarding the city were also trying their best, some holding spears, to kill the enemies climbing the city;

Some stretched their bows and nocked arrows, aiming at the enemy troops below the city and shooting randomly;

Others were busy carrying stones, rolled logs and other heavy objects, constantly using these heavy objects... to destroy the enemy's ladders and deliver fatal blows to the enemies who wanted to climb first.

For a time, the color of blood enveloped the entire sky, and also dyed the dimly lit morning and morning sun red.

The siege troops continued to charge, but each time they were stubbornly repulsed by the defenders.

Rivers of blood flowed from the city walls, and a large number of soldiers were killed and wounded on both sides.

It seems that this Yangping Pass is not easy to climb!

Not to mention the so-called "first to board"!

However, Wu Yi, who was in charge of the central army, did not show any signs of anxiety because of the anxious battle situation...

It seems that he is always confident.

In other words, he has a very clear positioning of himself.

He knew that the more fiercely he fought, the more attention he would attract from the enemy. On the other side...the easier it would be for their main force, the eldest son Liu Feng and the military advisor Ma Di, to seize Dingjun Mountain.

It's just that... watching his soldiers die one by one at Yangping Pass, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

But women are never kind on the battlefield.

Wu Yi still understands the truth that one general's success will lead to ten thousand bones drying up.

"call…"

With a heavy exhale, Wu Yi's heart was lifted. He raised the flag again and shouted the order, "Send more soldiers and horses from the two schools to assist in the attack. If we don't get down to Yangping Pass today, this battle will never stop." !”

Following Wu Yi's words, thousands more infantrymen swarmed towards Yangping Pass.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The drums outside the pass are thundering...

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

There was also the sound of drums beating on the top of the city.

"Kill..."

"Fight in..."

"Capture Yangping Pass..."

"Archers, draw the strings full... release the arrows, release the arrows..."

"With a rolling stone, with a rolling stone..."

"Where is the golden juice? Spill it down..."

The shouts of the offensive and defensive sides were intertwined...

Another round of new offensive started, and another round of killing shouts and screams were intertwined, and the battle became more intense.

…

…

Bashan Mountains, atop a mountain range.

It was in stark contrast to the bloody and intense main battlefield at Yang Ping Pass.

There is also a battle here, but... from the beginning to the end of the battle, it only took a quarter of an hour.

But I saw a group of Wei soldiers who had thrown away their helmets and armor and fled staggering down the mountain. They were all covered in blood, with unconcealed panic on their stained faces, and their blood-red eyes were full of fear after failure.

Beyond this, there is a hint of despair about the future.

Their hair was scattered, and their helmets fell off somewhere...

The wounds on his body were still aching faintly, and he was moaning in pain uncontrollably from his throat.

The blood-soaked armor kept dripping blood onto the ground, leaving a trail of bloody marks behind him as he fled.

It was this mark... that made the pursuers catch up with them.

"Da da da…"

Only the sound of horse's hooves could be heard on the mountain road.

Soon, these war horses caught up with this group of deserters from the Wei army. The leader was Liu Feng. He drew his bow and drew an arrow... and hit one of these soldiers with a "whoosh" sound.

"ah--"

With a scream, the man's throat was pierced by an arrow, and he fell down in extremely miserable condition.

The sound of horse hooves "ta da da da" got closer.

At this time, the group of Wei army deserters no longer dared to flee, and they all fell to their knees with a "pop".

"General, spare your life..."

Watching these Wei soldiers put down their weapons and kneel down...

Liu Feng turned over and dismounted... but his eyes turned to one side... There was a horse there that was belatedly arriving. The person riding on the horse was a young and handsome young man, but he was not Ma Su and Ma Youchang? Who else could it be!

"General, let me ask..."

Ma Su also turned over and dismounted, and immediately walked in front of these soldiers. He looked around at the rolling mountains around him, and then asked: "Which battalion are you from? Who is your general?"

These words came out of his mouth... Among the trembling Wei troops, the leader of the school captain raised his face and replied: "We were originally under the command of General Cao Hong, but General Cao Hong was captured... and we were incorporated into General Cao Xiu's army... "

Ma Su then asked: "Is Cao Xiu the one responsible for garrisoning the Bashan Mountains?"

"yes…"

After getting the exact answer, Ma Su looked around the surrounding mountains again, "Then let me ask you? Which mountain is your general stationed on? Which mountain is the Dingjun Mountain that is close to Yangping Pass?"

The reason why Ma Su asked this was because he and Liu Feng were both from Jingzhou, so they were not familiar with the terrain of the "Bashan Mountains".

I just know... Yangping Pass is directly adjacent to Dingjun Mountain. Through Dingjun Mountain, you can cross Yangping Pass and hit Hanzhong directly.

But... the Bashan Mountain Range is more than a thousand miles away, and there are more than a dozen towering mountains visible to the naked eye, one after another...

Which one is Dingjun Mountain? Ma Su and Liu Feng were unsure.

I only heard the timid and weak reply from the Wei military captain: "There are twelve peaks in the Bashan Mountains as tall as Dingjun Mountain. The general is currently on the first peak, and Dingjun Mountain is the third... As for Cao Xiu General, he was originally stationed on Dingjun Mountain, but... there was an emergency at Yangping Pass, so he quickly led his troops to rush for reinforcements, and now there are less than a thousand soldiers and horses on Dingjun!"

Well…

When the captain's words came out, Ma Di subconsciously raised his chin.

On the one hand, he was thinking about whether the information the captain told him was true.

On the other hand, if Cao Xiu really goes to rescue Yangping Pass, it will be easy to capture Dingjun Mountain... At that time, a road bypassing Yangping Pass and going directly from Shuzhong to Hanzhong will be opened. Whether it is the lord Liu Bei or the generals, They can command their troops and conquer Hanzhong in one go. At that time, Ma Su and Liu Feng, who have opened up such a path, will undoubtedly have made the greatest contribution.

This is enough for them to each take what they need——

Thinking of this, Ma Su's eyes narrowed faintly, as if he had already imagined the day when he would be rewarded based on his merits.

"Youchang..." Liu Feng saw Ma Su in a daze and asked in a low voice, "If the Wei army has troops stationed in such mountains, not to mention Dingjun Mountain, the third mountain, but all the twelve peaks of Bashan." Capturing it is like searching for something, but...can you believe what this guy says...?"

"I can probably believe it!" Ma Su answered directly. He glanced at the captain and a group of remnants of the Wei army, and his tone became more confident, "First of all, their lives are in our hands, there is no need for them to tell lies. , Secondly... If I were the commander-in-chief of the Wei army, if I wanted to garrison the Bashan Mountains, I would definitely set up an ambush at the first mountain, attack the enemy from the top down, and win the victory in one go. Maybe... setting up an ambush in the mountains behind is a waste of time, so..."

Speaking of which…

Ma Di stared directly at the captain, "Would you like to be our army's guide? Lead our army to attack these mountains? Are you willing..."

this…

As soon as Ma Su's words came out, the captain and a group of Wei soldiers looked at each other with embarrassed expressions.

Ma Su was proficient in scheming, so he saw their dilemma, "Aren't you just the family still in the north? Don't worry, I will let you know, saying that you resisted desperately, but were eventually defeated and died, so that you guys Your family can get a generous pension from that thief Cao, and in addition, I can also help you start a family in Shu! So you get the best of both worlds? Why are you still hesitating?"

this…

These Wei soldiers looked at each other again, and then the captain handed over his hands first, "The general has said so, how dare we not do the hard work of dogs and horses?"

"Hahahaha..." Ma Di laughed. He turned to Liu Feng and his laughter became more determined: "Sir, this time... we have the right time and the right place!"

As he said this, Ma Di whispered in a voice that only he and Liu Feng could hear.

"Although these Wei soldiers are trustworthy, in order to be sure, the general... still has to send people to investigate those mountains first. If... it is true as these Wei soldiers said, it will not be too late to attack again..."

Well…

Ma Di's words were loud and whispered, and Liu Feng was stunned.

Liu Feng let out a long sigh, nodded solemnly, and then said: "You are still thoughtful, You Chang!"

…

…

There is a portrait enshrined on the incense table. This portrait is Zhuge Liang's father Zhuge Gui, and Zhuge Liang is playing "Liang Fu Yin".

——"Once slandered, two peaches killed three people. Who can plan for this? Prime Minister Qi Yanzi..."

Originally, the sound of the piano was very gentle, but when the phrase "two peaches kill three scholars" started, the sound of the piano suddenly became intense.

Like an arrow piercing the sky, it flies out;

Like a warrior fighting bravely to kill the enemy on the battlefield;

A blazing flame jumps and rolls on the strings, releasing endless energy and enthusiasm.

Each note jumped and collided in the air, inspiring dazzling sparks, surging, one wave after another, and finally... At the end of the song, the strings suddenly broke, and Zhuge Liang picked up the strings in despair. , sighed: "Two peaches kill three people, I didn't expect...such a conspiracy to happen around me!"

Huang Yueying walked into the room with the medicine, put the black pills and medicinal soup on the table, and then asked: "It's so good, it's like Mount Tai, it's so good, it's like a river... Doesn't Kong Ming like to play "Flowing Water"? ? Why did Sheng suddenly play "Liang Fu Yin" and break the strings..."

Zhuge Liang laughed at himself and replied: "Era is destined to move forward. Whether it is mountains, flowing water, or rolling torrents, we must join in it. There is no use playing "Flowing Water" anymore... Sometimes, I can't help but think of the regrets of my master, Mr. Shui Jing. , in this era of broken etiquette and music, if you want to use the right way to conquer the world, you must be more familiar with evil and treachery than the evil demons and crooked people... It is not the right way to go west to Bashu, and it is not the right way to seek the territory of the clan, but these... Finally achieved three points in the world!"

Huang Yueying's beautiful heart...

Combined with what happened recently, she immediately guessed something.

"Is Kong Ming worried about your disciple Ma Su?"

Zhuge Liang nodded: "Two peaches can kill three men, and one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Compared with the unification of the world, my lord is so old... the prince's surrender is an imminent hurdle. This hurdle... You Chang is gambling, this... Guan...he is destined to lose the bet! Alas...I value him so much, appreciate him, and give him all my talents and knowledge, but...but in the end...in the end, it was his pride that hurt him!"

Huang Yueying pondered for a moment, "Maybe... this is fate... Besides, hasn't she lost yet?"

"He has lost, not only lost, but also died..."

Zhuge Liang's words made Huang Yueying glare at him and said angrily, "What do you mean by whether you will die or not!"

Zhuge Liang suppressed the throbbing in his heart, "No more, no more... At that moment, how I wished he was Guan Yunqi, because... only Guan Yunqi can put himself to death and survive!"

When it comes to this…

The footsteps are approaching from far away, very fast...

"Military strategist, strategist..."

Yang Yi hurried over, saw Zhuge Liang, and said quickly: "The attack on Yangping Pass has begun... but the commander of the Chinese army is not Liu Feng, but Wu Guojiu..."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Liang quickly asked: "Where are Liu Feng and Ma Di?"

Yang Yi frowned and could only answer truthfully: "I don't know, it seems to have disappeared out of thin air..."

this…

Zhuge Liang suddenly felt a pain in his heart. He quickly covered his chest, staggered his legs, and took a step back.

The most, most, most worrying thing still happened.

Huang Yueying supported him...

"Kong Ming, what's wrong with you?"

"The last victory in the first battle was due to a surprise victory, but... this time, he was in danger again..." Zhuge Liang's eyebrows narrowed even more, "I'm worried... I'm worried that his cleverness will be mistaken for him!"

…

…

Jingzhou, Anlu City.

Guan Lin seemed to have something on his mind today, pacing back and forth in the room...

After a long time, he stopped in front of Lu Xun and asked, "Where is Ni Wei? Is there still no news——"

"No..." Lu Xun replied truthfully: "Except for Nanyang Zang Ba's soldiers and horses turning into farmers and slowly sneaking into Jingzhou in order to get the white phosphorus, there is no news from those Taoists... at all!"

"Oh..." Guan Lin couldn't help but tuck his chin and murmured in his heart:

——‘Are you so calm? 』

When Lu Xun saw Guan Lin like this, he asked what he was most concerned about, "Recently... whether in Jingzhou or Jiangdong, officials and generals are talking about the war at Yangping Pass in Hanzhong... saying that Mr. Liu Feng won the first battle and severely defeated the enemy. Military spirit...why didn't I hear you mention this, Yun Qi?"

"What did I mention?" Guan Lin spread his hands... as if he didn't care.

"What?" Lu Xun was even more curious...

Seeing Lu Xun's curious look, Guan Lin couldn't help but sigh, "A dead man...what can I mention?"

"Dead person?" Lu Xun was shocked...his expression couldn't help but become more confused.

He quickly asked: "General Liu Feng can be regarded as Uncle Liu's stepson. He has made many meritorious deeds over the years. He is at the top in terms of martial arts and military command. Although he may not be as experienced as Xia Houyuan, but even if he loses, if he retreats... it should be a problem Not big! Why...the dead person Yun Qi talks about?"

this…

Guan Lin blinked his eyes, then shook his head, and then continued to explain: "Bo Yan only saw Liu Feng and Xia Houyuan, but did not see...the other two people in this duel, it was these two people... It is the key to this battle!”

"who?"

"Ma Su and Jia Xu——" Guan Lin replied without thinking.

this…

Lu Xun was even more surprised. He knew what Ma Su said. This time Liu Feng went on an expedition, the military advisor was Ma Su...

It was precisely because of this that Ma Su won the first battle and won the victory.

There are even rumors that Liu Feng made Cao Cao furious, and he cursed "the big-eared thief's fake person actually forced Gu to this point"...

But what Jia Xu said?

Wait... isn't Jia Xu in Luoyang? He...when did he arrive in Hanzhong? When did you participate in the battle for Yangping Pass?

Seeing Lu Xun still looking full of doubts.

Guan Lin continued, "Bo Yan, you also know that we have a lot of eyes in the territory of Ni Wei. We will more or less collect almost all the officials of Ni Wei. Their movements, including weddings and funerals, including their comings and goings, will be collected more or less. Got some... but recently..."

Speaking of this, Guan Lin paused for a moment, "It has been a whole month. None of the information sent back from Wei Wei is about this 'Jia Xu Jia Wenhe'... If he is not in Hanzhong? Is it possible... that he will disappear out of thin air?" ?”

ah…

this…

Guan Lin's words convinced Lu Xun instantly and made Lu Xun's eyes widen.

Indeed, if it is Xia Houyuan versus Liu Feng, then...the gap exists, but it is not something that cannot be made up by tactics, tactics, and strategies, but if it is Jia Xu...

call…

Lu Xun couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Speaking of which, there were only three people he was afraid of during the rebellion against the Wei Dynasty. The first one was Guo Fengxiao, the ghost plotter;

The second one is Liuxiang Xunling Xun Wenruo;

The third one is Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe, who is ruining the world with his words and poisoning the loyal and virtuous people!

If it were him...

As for the Hanzhong battlefield and the Yangpingguan battlefield, the balance of victory will be completely deflected!

Just when Guan Lin and Lu Xun mentioned Jia Xu, mentioned Ma Di, mentioned Liu Feng, mentioned Xia Houyuan, mentioned... someone was already dead.

There was a "bang" and the sound of a wooden box falling to the floor could be heard outside the door...

Looking outside the door again... there was a figure standing, but this figure seemed to be stimulated by some kind of stimulation, and then... the whole shadow fell down...

Then came the shouts of the soldiers and warriors: "Commander Ji Chang, you... you didn't go to see Mr. Yun Qi, how could you... how could you have fallen down outside this door?"

…

…
