"The bearded old man?"

Hearing this, Guan Ping paused for a moment, and then muttered to himself.

After pondering for a moment, Guan Ping personally went to the outsider, he wanted to see who was asking to see him when Xiangyang City had just been recovered.

Outside the gate of the mansion, at this time, an old man with a length of seven feet and a half, with white sideburns and beard, was full of energy, and stood here extremely upright.

After a long time, Guan Ping walked out slowly, and when he saw it, he couldn't help but step forward and salute, asking: "Old man, I don't know who you are, what is the matter with looking for me?" ”

Although the old man in front of him had never seen it, there were many strange people in the land of Jingxiang, and Guan Ping thought for a while, and he did not slack off, so he saluted respectfully.

"Major General Guan, this matter is not a place to speak, the old man does not want to reveal his identity in this noisy place."

Hearing this, the old man in front of him seemed to have an unfathomable demeanor and said softly.

"Oh, old sir, please come in."

When the words fell, Guan Ping was not slow to react, and immediately waved his hand.

Immediately, the two approached the mansion one after the other, entered the inner hall, and Guan Ping instructed Deng Ai: "Shizai, you stay outside the door and prohibit anyone from entering!" ”

"No!"

Then, sitting down in different places, Guan Ping got up slightly and said respectfully: "I don't know what the old gentleman is?" ”

"The old husband and the little girl are Shuo, the word Yueying, and now she is the wife of Kong Ming, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty!"

"Huh!"

Hearing this, Guan Ping suddenly unconsciously exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, and immediately got up.

"Kid Guan Ping meets Huang Gong."

At the beginning, Guan Ping just felt that the identity of the old man in front of him was not an ordinary person, but after thinking about it, he didn't expect that this person would be Huang Chengyan.

is that Jingxiang celebrity, Huang Yueying's father, Zhuge Liang's father-in-law.

After a pause, Guan Ping sat back in his place and said slowly: "Huang Gong, I remember that your villa is in Zhonglu, I don't know why you came to Xiangyang today?" ”

Hearing this, Huang Chengyan took a sip of the tea on the desk and said with a smile: "Major General Guan, you don't have to be so formal!" ”

"Although the old man is Kong Ming's father-in-law, he is just a native of the countryside, and he has no official rank, so there is no need to be like this."

Hearing this, Guan Ping smiled and didn't say much.

In fact, Guan Ping didn't need to be so respectful to Huang Chengyan at all, after all, with Guan Yu and Liu Bei's friendship, it was no worse than Zhuge Liang.

Guan Ping was respectful to him, on the one hand, he didn't want to have a stiff relationship with Zhuge Liang, and on the other hand, he also treated the old people with respect.

You must know the importance of filial piety in this era!

"When the old man returned from meeting his friends, he happened to pass by the camp on the north bank and found that the soldiers in the camp were in full swing to build siege equipment."

"Therefore, the old man guessed that Guan Junhou probably wanted to take Fancheng and fought a decisive battle with Cao Jun."

As soon as these words came out, Guan Ping's complexion suddenly froze, his smile gradually froze, he couldn't speak for a while, and a big wave had already been set off in his heart.

"Father Marshal actually decided to take Fancheng?"

"So, I tried my best to take Xiangyang, and in the end I made a wedding dress for Dongwu?"

"Father, confused!"

At this moment, the thought of the general is growing in Guan Ping's heart.

It must be known that the fundamental purpose of why Guan Ping formulated a plan to take Xiangyang was to take Xiangyang, cut off the land route for Cao's army to attack Jiangling, and prevent his army from being threatened by the Cao army in the north when he returned to Jingzhou to fight against Eastern Wu.

On the other hand, Guan Ping also knew that his father's self-esteem was extremely important, and the Northern Expedition could not return empty-handed, so he wanted to replace Fancheng with Xiangyang, so that he could dispel his plan to continue to defeat Fancheng.

It's just that up to now, Guan Ping never thought that his father would become more and more victorious, and he couldn't even distinguish the most essential threat at the moment.

You must know that the key reason for the failure of the Northern Expedition in the original history was that Guan Yu was dead in Fancheng, resulting in insufficient garrison troops in the rear.

"Alas, but my father is the boss after all, and he insists on taking Fan, what should I do?"

At this moment, Guan Ping couldn't help but feel a headache and was speechless.

After thinking for a long time, Guan Ping asked tentatively: "Huang Gong, since you thought you knew my father's plan, why didn't you go into the camp to persuade him to change his plan?" ”

"Humph! Major General Guan, your father's temperament, I think you know better than anyone else, do you think the old man can be persuaded by such a mountain and village man? ”

Sarcastically sneering at Guan Yu, Huang Chengyan continued: "Ma Ji is often engaged in state governance, and he is in a high position, but he can't change Guan Junhou's plan. ”

"According to the old man, for the sake of today's plan, if you want to change the plan of the decisive battle against Cao Jun, the key lies in you, Major General Guan."

"Me?"

Hearing this, Guan Ping's face became more and more confused, and he was at a loss!

"Please also ask Huang Gong to teach me!"

In the next second, Guan Ping hurriedly got up, walked in front of Huang Chengyan, and respectfully asked.

"Hehe, Major General Guan looks down on the old man, the old man is just a villager in the mountains, how can there be any good plan?"

Seeing this, Huang Chengyan still maintained a smile on his face, but politely declined his request.

Seeing this, Guan Ping's expression changed, half loud, gritted his teeth, and suddenly knelt down to plead.

"Huang Gong, please ask me again."

"Major General Guan, why are you doing this, please get up quickly."

Seeing that Guan Ping was so persistent, it was impossible for Huang Chengyan to be indifferent, and immediately reached out to help.

At this moment, Guan Ping's eyes were blazing, his face was serious, and he said: "Huang Gong, you are the prime minister's father-in-law, according to the relationship, if you are three points today, you and my Han have an inseparable connection." ”

"Can you bear to watch your father go his own way and implement the wrong plan, but it caused my Jingxiang land to be stolen by traitors and ignore Jingzhou Lishu?"

At this time, Guan Ping directly took out Zhuge Liang and the name of righteousness.

Huang Chengyan is known as "Jingxiang Famous Scholar", if he doesn't care about Jingzhou Li Shu, then once this matter comes out, it will also be a great blow to a famous man like him who cherishes his feathers.

Secondly, Guan Ping was also sure that Huang Chengyan could come to the city to see him, not just to inform his father of his plan to take Fancheng.

In fact, it is true that what really prompted Huang Chengyan to come to meet Guan Ping was the record of breaking Xiangyang in ten days.

After hearing the news that Xiangyang had lost in less than ten days, Rao is Huang Chengyan was determined to be extraordinary, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

Ten days to break Xiangyang, it is simple, just a word, but to really do it, it is really not a simple thing.

Therefore, after hearing that it was Guan Ping who led the troops to break through Xiangyang, Huang Chengyan decided to come no matter what and meet Guan Ping.

"Okay, since Major General Guan is stubborn, then the old man will also talk about my foolish opinion."

When the words fell, Guan Ping slowly got up, sat back in place, and listened.

After thinking about it, Huang Chengyan seemed to have been prepared, and said slowly: "General Guan, if you want to save this crisis, you must remember these two crosses. ”

"Insist on going north, fishing in troubled waters, provoking war, and passing by!"

"That's all the old man said, and the next thing is to rely on Major General Guan to turn the tide."

After that, Huang Chengyan stopped persuading and got up to leave.

Seeing this, Guan Ping hurriedly got up to stop him, and said eagerly: "Huang Gong, can you be more detailed?" ”

Hearing this, Huang Chengyan still smiled and smiled: "Major General Guan, everything and plans can't catch up with changes, no matter how good the strategy is, it needs to be acted on according to reality, otherwise it will become a piece of paper." ”

"Major General Guan should understand this very well, so the old man has already given you the idea, and the rest is up to you."

"This time, the final belonging of Jingzhou is all in the thought of Major General Guan!"

In the last sentence, Huang Chengyan couldn't help but say it meaningfully.

After looking at it, Guan Ping knew that Huang Chengyan would not come to continue talking, so he did not continue to ask.

After all, such information that the hermit was unwilling to reveal did not have the slightest effect on how much it was forced.

After thinking for a moment, Guan Ping suddenly had a thought in his mind, and a doubt came to his heart, and he couldn't help asking: "Huang Gong, I have always had a dream in my heart, and I am often confused, I wonder if you can solve it for me?" ”

Ten days ago, Guan Ping's dream of leading the army north to attack Xudu has also appeared intermittently in the past few days, which has also puzzled Guan Ping, and he doesn't know what this dream portends.

"Dream interpretation? The old man can't do anything. ”

Hearing this, Huang Chengyan was quick to talk at this time, and replied directly.

Dream interpretation, he really can't!

However, the next moment, Huang Chengyan said: "Although the old man can't do it, he can protect one person, maybe he can solve the confusion of Major General Guan." ”

"Huang Gong, I don't know who you are doing?"

"Mr. Shuijing, Sima Decao."
