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

In the history of the Three Kingdoms, the Battle of Hanzhong, the peak showdown between Liu Bei and Cao Cao, is destined to occupy a prominent place!

This battle lasted from the beginning of the 22nd year of Jian'an to May of the 24th year of Jian'an.

The entire war lasted for two years.

But it seems that in interpretations and novels, this colorful "Battle of Hanzhong" is often described as if it was fought in two days.

In fact, this battle started when Zhang Fei and Ma Chao attacked Xiaben City. The difference is that in the historical battle of Xiaben City, Zhang Fei and Ma Chao were defeated miserably, but now, they have won a great victory... and captured Xiaben City. This provided a guarantee for Shuzhong to attack Hanzhong and provide supplies and grain transportation.

The situation seems to be developing in a direction favorable to Shuzhong.

However, the defeat of Liu Feng and Ma Di once again leveled the situation——

Looking back at history, after the Battle of Xiabian, Liu Bei sent Chen Shi to lead thousands of elite troops to cut off the Maming Pavilion Road, intending to cut off Cao Cao's army from the supply line in the rear...

It was still another, another, and another defeat.

This forced Liu Bei to go into battle in person, risking his way out of Micang Mountain, crossing the Mianshui River south, and hoarding his main force in Dingjun Mountain, so as to control the terrain and gain a local advantage over Cao's army from a high position.

It is worth mentioning that Guan Lin's "Yun Farewell" written to Zhao Yun follows the historical steps of the Battle of Hanzhong, that is, first defeating two battles, the entire Shu army fell into despair, and then Fa Zheng's outstanding " The tactics of "deployment of military formations", "sending troops and generals", and "detours and repetitions" helped Huang Zhong's formation to kill Xia Houyuan...

From this...the whole story of the Hanzhong battlefield's comeback against the wind began.

The details in between are elaborated in "Yunbie Zhuan".

Naturally, it also recorded all the clues of Xia Houyuan being killed by the formation.

It all started when... Because the terrain of Dingjun Mountain was high, in order to fight for a long time, Xia Houyuan began to order people to build antlers fence at the foot of Dingjun Mountain, preparing to gather his strength and attack the top of the mountain in one fell swoop.

It happened that this move was noticed by Liu Bei on the mountain, and Liu Bei decided to use the strategy of seizing the east and attacking the west to attack Cao's army at night.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xia Houyuan decided to resist Liu Bei in the south and sent Zhang He to resist in the east. But... what he didn't expect was that Liu Bei's main force was not in the south, but in the east.

Under the general attack of Liu Bei's main force, Zhang He was gradually defeated. Xia Houyuan had no choice but to send half of his elite troops to the east to support Zhang He.

Logically speaking, the enemy's main force is not here, and Xia Houyuan has also divided his forces to send reinforcements to support the friendly forces. As of now, all deployments and commands have not changed at all.

Xia Houyuan, the commander-in-chief of the Western Front battlefield...should stay wherever it's cool, but he's doing something crazy.

No one expected that at this time, Xia Houyuan would actually make a move that was unbelievable to both "the enemy and ourselves", that is, he personally led the remaining half of the elite soldiers to put out the fire and repair the antlers.

That’s right…

Even with half of his troops deployed and the situation unclear, he did not send anyone to repair the antlers, but did it himself! Take the lead!

Having said that, Xia Houyuan is a person who will pick up and eat every grain of rice that falls outside. When he eats, he would like to lick the bowl clean!

So frugal... How could he watch the antlers of his army being burned and destroyed? This is a huge waste!

Seeing Xia Houyuan's behavior, Fa Zheng, the commander-in-chief of the Shu army in the battle at Dingjun Mountain, keenly sensed a chance of victory, and immediately persuaded Liu Bei to gather all the troops to capture the thief and the king——

Liu Bei obeyed Fazheng's suggestion, so he immediately ordered Huang Zhong to lead his troops to dive from high to low to attack Xia Houyuan on the south side, killing the Western Front commander of Cao Cao's group and Cao Cao's good friend in one fell swoop. Brother, what a brother-in-law!

So far:

——The Yuan army was defeated, and Yuan and others were awarded the title.

The situation in the Battle of Hanzhong was completely reversed!

Speaking of which…

"Yun Farewell" is a biography with Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong as the protagonist. In fact, the second half of the Battle of Hanzhong was the highlight moment of Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong.

But... Guan Lin still vividly described the first half of the Hanzhong battlefield, that is, the battle of Dingjun Mountain!

It also describes Xia Houyuan's "frugality" weakness in a rich and colorful way.

At this moment, Zhao Yun eloquently recounted the contents of "Yun Farewell". He did not forget to state at the end that these were not made up by him, but were written by Guan Lin...

It was precisely because of Zhao Yun's last explanation that Huang Zhong, Ma Chao, and Zhang Fei... all looked at each other... with meaningful expressions.

Yes, if before, they thought that Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong were "only focused on drinking and didn't eat a single dish" and were drunk, numb... and stunned!

Now, because of "The God of War: The Biography of Zhang Fei", because Ma Chao received guidance from Guan Lin, and because Huang Zhong, under Guan Lin's plan, reversed the decline with one arrow and defeated Xiangfan with one arrow...

From there to this…

The description of the battle at Dingjun Mountain in "Yun Farewell" suddenly became completely credible. At least... the four people present, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Ma Chao, and Zhang Fei... believed it.

"In that case, why wait?" Zhang Fei couldn't wait to get up. His leopard eyes widened, and he stood up...like a mountain.

Yes, ever since Zhang Fei was not allowed to fight in "God of War"... and since he switched to farming, Zhang Fei was so panicked!

Although... Guan Lin said that farming is also very important, and even farming well is more important than fighting a good war, but Zhang Fei is a warrior after all, and he is not allowed to fight or fight on the battlefield. He is panicking. , His balls hurt... His hands had nowhere to rest, and his eight-foot-long snake spear was ready to move!

Finally... finally...

The story of "God of War" is over, and "Yun Farewell" has begun again. Zhang Fei took advantage of the "Yun Farewell" to be keenly aware that he could show off his skills again and use the one hundred stabbing skills. With his shooting skills in the transparent cave, his eight-foot-long snake spear was already hungry and thirsty!

"What are you still doing? Liu Feng is about to be defeated. My eldest brother must be furious at this time. At this time, it is a good time for us to fight together to turn the tide and make contributions!"

Well…

Following Zhang Fei's words, Ma Chao seemed to suddenly think of something, or perhaps a sensitive nerve suddenly broke out. It was his relatives... Ma Chao's only obsession.

He asked lightly: "Aren't you afraid of meeting Xia Houyuan on the battlefield?"

"It's best to meet him..." Zhang Fei raised his hand, "Are you afraid that you won't meet him? If you do, I will poke a hundred transparent holes in him!"

Following Zhang Fei's words, Ma Chao said calmly, "If we really poke a hundred transparent holes, how will Yide go back and explain to Mrs. Xiahou?"

Well…

Ma Chao's slow words immediately made Zhang Fei speechless.

He reacted immediately and couldn't help but reach out and knock on his forehead, "Oh, why did I forget about this..."

"So..." Ma Chao continued, "If you ask for a fight this time, Yide will not go. But you must not kill Xia Houyuan and cause peace in your own backyard. The ancients said you can't have your cake and eat it too... Haha, What Yide is facing now is the fish and the bear's paw..."

this…

He was originally high-spirited and busy sharpening his knives, but suddenly... he turned into this, this mess!

Zhang Fei couldn't help but feel dull.

Damn it...this "Yun Farewell" is still someone else's story after all, and has nothing to do with his "God of War".

oops…

We still have to go back to farming! Face the loess and turn your back to God!

"well…"

With a heavy sigh, Zhang Fei became paralyzed... He stayed where he was, with one sentence written all over his annoyed cheek - happiness belongs to others, I have nothing!

"Actually... it's not impossible." Huang Zhong was old in the world. He stroked his beard and said: "Don't Mrs. Xiahou miss her family? Yide can capture Xiahouyuan and reunite their father and daughter. Isn't that right? Another beautiful thing?"

Well…

Huang Zhong's words cheered up Zhang Fei. "Old General Huang is still thoughtful. Then "Yunbie Zhuan" said that Xia Houyuan was killed in a formation? But we don't have to kill him in a formation. It's good for us to capture him!"

After thinking through this section, Zhang Fei seemed to have opened up the two channels of Ren and Du, and suddenly felt energetic and inspired again.

"Hahahaha..." While laughing, he couldn't wait to grab Huang Zhong's arm, "Let's go, Old General Huang, let's go... let's go and ask for orders quickly, my wife... I can't wait to talk to her father for a long time, That means my cheap father-in-law is reunited, ah...hahahaha...hahahaha..."

Amidst the bold laughter, Zhang Fei had already pulled Huang Zhong out of the room.

In fact, in the battle in Hanzhong in "The Legend of Yun Farewell", the protagonist in the first half is Huang Zhong, and the protagonist in the second half is Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong.

"Meng Qi, let's go too..." Seeing Huang Zhong and Zhang Fei walking away, Zhao Yun said to Ma Chao beside him: "After Hanzhong, it's Yongliang... Meng Qi also longs for Yongliang and his hometown... "

this…

Zhao Yun's words made Ma Chao hesitate for a moment, but then he raised his head. It seemed that the atmosphere was heightening this, and at the same time, he thought about something else.

His eyes narrowed and he asked Zhao Yun quite seriously: "Zilong, I have a question..."

"Brother Meng Qi, just say it's okay!"

"This "Yun Farewell" was written by Mr. Yun Qi to you, Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong..." Ma Chao asked seriously, "If you take into account Yun Qi's inexhaustible predictions and plans before, whether it was to kill the enemy or capture Xia Houyuan alive, Follow the plan... This is a sure thing. It is a great feat and a great honor. But why? Do you want to choose to tell us? It seems... Xia Houyuan is so weak that you, Zilong, can take it with an army. Then Dingjun Mountain!”

call…

Ma Chao's words made Zhao Yun let out a long breath. He opened his mouth and wanted to explain subconsciously, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed everything he wanted to say. He pondered for a long time and then opened his mouth: "Meng Come on, you have also received guidance from Yun Qi. Everyone in the world has misunderstood you, but Guan Yunqi is the only one who knows people well. You are by no means an unfaithful, unfilial, and unjust person. In the past, you were just a helpless choice!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Yun continued, "Similarly, when I took Adou to Jingzhou, Yun Qi also gave me a sentence. This sentence made me toss and turn, keep thinking, and combined with my past experience, it is also the right sentence. This gives me a new perspective on some things, such as...this so-called meritorious service!"

Well…

——"Can you share this credit with others?" 』

For a moment, Ma Chao was very curious as to what kind of words Guan Lin proposed that made Zhao Yunhui change from the bottom of his heart and personality.

You must know that at this age, the personality is already deeply ingrained and cannot be changed or transformed.

"What's that sentence?" Ma Chao asked urgently...

Zhao Yun paused for a moment, his eyes slowly looked towards the sky, and then he faintly chanted, "Strong and easy to break, born of weakness -"

this…

Subconsciously, Ma Chao thought of the sound of loud sounds and the invisibility of elephants... But when he thought about it deeply, and combined Zhao Yun's achievements over the years with his unmatched official rank and status, Ma Chao seemed to realize it all at once.

He couldn't help but murmur in his heart: "Strong and easy to break... Are you born from weakness?" 』

It is true... it is too easy for heroes like Zhao Yun and Ma Chao to be strong. It is precisely because of this that what they lack in their bones is weakness!

The bottleneck they continue to break through is also this weakness!

As the saying goes - the world is as soft as water, but no one who is strong can win!

…

…

In Luoyang City, the magnificent Wei Palace, the guard of honor at the entrance blew the trumpet and rang the bells and drums.

The solemn bells and drums rang, and the ministers stood in the court hall one by one.

The leaders, Cheng Yu and Li Miao... had already learned the result. They were watching their noses and hearts without saying a word, while Xiahou Dun was discussing with several generals of the clan.

"I heard that the Hanzhong side was defeated first and then won. Jia Wenhe lured the enemy troops to Dingjun Mountain and dyed the water with poison... causing most of the enemy troops to be poisoned. He also buried the water sources, causing... the enemy troops to collapse without a fight, a great victory. , it can be described as a great victory!”

Xiahou Dun said this...

The general with the clan next to him said with an unhappy face: "The old general is right about a great victory, but... once upon a time, we, the Wei Dynasty, had great success reports every month. How could we be so eager to see a great victory like today?" …Sigh, I don’t know what happened to Wei in the past two years...what happened!”

When Li Miao heard this... he glanced at Xiahou Dun with a sneer. It could be seen that Xiahou Dun also looked very depressed.

He just said: "Blame me, blame me... I lost two eyes one after another. Otherwise... I would have to learn from the genius and defend the enemy at the border and let them know that I, the Wei Dynasty, are not easy to bully!"

At this time...

As the eunuchs shouted: "The King of Wei has arrived——"

All the voices in the house stopped...

Cao Cao walked slowly to the throne of the court. He had not held a military meeting for a long time. At this moment, he seemed a little more haggard and gloomy, but... all his expressions suddenly disappeared from the moment he opened his tiger eyes. However, he returned to the image of the domineering and majestic King of Wei.

"Today we gather all the gentlemen, there are two happy things. One is that the Taoist Zuo Ci and the general Jiang Juan successfully united the Jiangdong clan and stole the white phosphorus from Jiangxia in Jingzhou to our city of Luoyang. With three hundred carriages, it can be said that they stole the white phosphorus from Jiangxia in Jingzhou. All the white phosphorus has been hollowed out. From now on, we, the Wei Dynasty, will officially turn from defense to offense. We will use air strikes to cause Xuchang, Wancheng, Xiangyang, and Jiangling to be engulfed in a sea of ​​​​flames. The things that were taken away by the Guan family father and son will be destroyed. It will take me two months to take them all back!"

Cao Cao's words brought two messages.

The first is that a large amount of white phosphorus has been obtained, and one goes with another... There is a lot less white phosphorus in the direction of Jingzhou. If we make good use of this time difference, we can push back and regain what we lost.

Secondly, this batch of white phosphorus was obtained by the joint efforts of Zuo Ci, Jiang Juan and the Jiangdong clan. This means that... even though Soochow is now destroyed, Jiangdong is not as harmonious as rumored. The relationship between the Jiangdong clan and Guan Lin It's very subtle...it must be very turbulent secretly!

Of course, Cao Cao said this, how could the Manchu civil and military officials of the Wei Dynasty know about the origin of this white phosphorus, and how could they know that their king Cao Cao was severely fooled by Guan Lin and the Jiangdong clan in this matter? .

"God bless the Wei, God bless the king, the power of the Wei is great, the king is wise..." Immediately some officials raised their hands and shouted loudly.

As soon as he shouted this, all the officials in the court started shouting.

Cao Zhi, who stood at the bottom among the ministers, seemed to dislike these shouts of "praising virtues" and lowered his head silently without saying a word.

All of this was seen by Li Miao.

"Okay, I summoned you all here today to discuss the second matter." Cao Cao continued, "In the battle of Hanzhong, our army faked defeat and lured the enemy deeper. Wen He calculated every strategy, and his brilliant talents were invincible... Half a day ago, I received a military report that Wen He and Miaocai were about to close the net. But just a quarter of an hour ago, I received an urgent report again, saying that a great victory in Junshan had been won, and that my great Wei Dynasty had captured Liu Bei's stepson alive. Liu Feng, and Zhuge Liang's disciple Ma Di... and we have sent people to escort them here as soon as possible... I have summoned you all today just to ask you, Liu Feng and Ma Di? How should they be punished? Kill them? Persuade them to surrender? Or maybe Imprisonment? What are you exchanging with that big-eared thief? At today's court meeting, all the princes can speak freely... and offer good strategies for our great Wei Dynasty!"

this…

As Cao Cao's words fell, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty learned the reason for this meeting.

Everyone looked at each other at first, as if communicating with their eyes. Xiahou Dun had no eyes and could not communicate with others. He simply took a step forward and said loudly: "In the past two years, the war in Xiangfan and the war in Bashu have been urgent everywhere. Here, Our great Wei Dynasty lost troops and generals. Cao Zixiao, Yu Wenze, Pang Lingming, Manfujun, Wen Zhongye (Wenpin)...all these brave heroes died in the past two years. On the other hand, the big-eared thief and Guan Yu were not even injured. No harm... In my opinion, Your Majesty... There is no need to think about this at all. When Liu Feng and Ma Di are sent to Luoyang, they will be pulled out of the Meridian Gate immediately and killed in late death to comfort the spirits of these heroic heroes in the Wei Dynasty! You are so strong for me. The morale and fighting spirit of the army and people of the Wei Dynasty are further declared by this, that I, the Wei Dynasty, the big-eared thief, and the father and son of the Guan family will fight to the death!"

The words are sharp and every word is like a knife.

Because Xiahou Dun's son also died in the past two years, on the battlefield in Xiangfan, at the hands of the Guan family and his son...

Therefore...whether it was Liu Feng or Ma Su, Xiahou Dun hated the house and the crow, and he hated them to the core.

He has no eyes, and there is no room for any sand in his eyes...

The North and the South are confronting each other. If the current situation is like this, then for both sides... there is no room for change unless they die or return.

When Xiahou Dun said this, other civil and military officials immediately agreed, "Yes, yes... At this time, we want to show off the power of the Wei Kingdom. Liu Feng is the stepson of the big-eared thief, and Ma Di is a disciple of Zhuge Liang. Let's use them to sacrifice flags." It’s perfect!”

"Yeah yeah…"

With all the echoes, it seemed that there was no extra sound at all in this matter.

Xiahou Dun's prestige is here, and the situation is here, as if...if anyone expresses an individual opinion, his position will not be firm!

"Do you all think so?" Cao Cao raised his voice and asked...

"What the general said is..." everyone said in unison.

Cao Cao's eyes changed slightly, and no one noticed it. Only Li Miao saw all this, and he already knew what Cao Cao meant.

"hahahahahahahahahaha…"

Suddenly, in the main hall, Li Miao began to laugh loudly, with a hint of madness, ridicule, and contempt...

In the laughter, it seems to be stating an established fact:

"I'm not targeting anyone, everyone here is rubbish——"

…

…
