Chapter 2 Learning martial arts can't save the Han
Jingzhou, outside the official office of Jiangling City, because of Guan Yu's return, it is heavily guarded, with swords, spears, swords, and halberds, and the atmosphere is solemn.
At this moment, Guan Yu was unloading his armor in the house, his face was solemn.
In the past year, the situation in the world has changed abruptly.
Around Jingzhou, Bashu... A lot of big things have happened.
The eldest brother Liu Bei occupies Xichuan;
And Cao Cao took advantage of Liu Bei's unstable foothold, personally took command and launched an attack on Hanzhong.
In order to relieve the pressure on the battlefield on the Western Front, Guan Yu went north to attack Xiangyang at the right time, so as to contain Cao's soldiers and horses.
After all, he still failed to break through Cao Ren's defense line for half a year.
"Alas!"
With a long sigh, Guan Yu's eternal expression revealed a little helplessness.
Of the nine counties of Jingzhou, Cao Cao occupies the three richest and most populous counties in the north, and the remaining six counties... Jiangdong is eyeing it again.
When this place of four wars, while going north, Guan Yu must also leave enough troops to defend Jiangdong.
Exactly... Most of Jingzhou's talents and elite soldiers and horses were taken to Bashu by Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.
Today's Guan Yu is a clever woman, and it is difficult to cook without rice!
30,000 people, guarding six counties, and going out to contain Cao's army...
Difficult...
It's hard to climb!
That is, Guan Yu, in the past half a year, in an extremely unfavorable situation, beat Cao Ren, the "attacking" "heavenly general" in Cao's army, into a master of "defense".
Shrink into the city, don't dare to go out of the city gate!
It is no exaggeration to say that Guan Yu has given everything he has, but everything that can be done has been done to the extreme!
"Alas..." was another faint sigh, and only when the armor was removed, Guan Yu would let his mood empty and relax for a moment.
This year's Guan Yu is also in his fifties, and he already has a trace of white hair on his head, but although he is old, he is eight feet long, with a tall posture, the majesty of a lion and tiger, and the hero of a dragon and leopard!
On Guan Yu's side, the eldest son Guan Ping hung up his heavy armor, and Guan Yu changed into the very characteristic green robe and green hat... Habitually holding the "Spring and Autumn Left Biography" with his right hand, and brushing his beard with his left hand.
I don't know since when.
In Jingzhou, Guan Yu's iconic posture has begun to be imitated by many literati and samurai, as if holding "Spring and Autumn" in his hand symbolizes full of "forced style"!
It can be seen that Guan Yu is in a bad mood.
Guan Ping tried to comfort his father, "The child has already passed the reply letter from Zhuge Military Division to the six counties of Jingzhou and the three armies according to his father's instructions!" ”
Guan Ping tried to recite it: "'...... When competing with Yide to be the first, it is still not as outstanding as the beautiful bearded prince', it seems that in the minds of Zhuge Junshi and his uncle, the position of the father is far from being shaken by Ma Mengqi, and even Uncle Yide cannot be compared. Reading between the lines, Zhuge Junshi also admires his father very much! ”
As Guan Ping said.
The reason why Guan Yu wanted to convey Zhuge Liang's reply to the three armies was that Ma Chao was secondary, and his position beyond Zhang Fei made him feel fluttering even more!
In addition, there are really not many people in the world who can admire Guan Yu.
The eldest brother Liu Bei is counted as one.
The military advisor Zhuge Liang is counted as one.
The praise of the two of them weighed a lot in Guan Yu's mind!
"Hahahaha..."
Sure enough, Guan Ping's words made Guan Yu's mood look bright, "In the world, there are mostly fools and vulgar people, and the only ones who can make your father admire are Zhuge Junshi and the eldest brother. ”
Speaking of this, Guan Yu's eyebrows raised, Danfeng's eyes suddenly opened and closed, and he said in a proud tone.
"He Ma Mengqi is not worthy!"
"Yes, Ma Chao is just a general, how can he be compared with his father? Isn't that a joke! Guan Ping replied with a smile.
Between the words, the compliment to his father was overflowing.
That's when it happened.
The sound of footsteps came from outside the door.
Guan Yu and Guan Ping looked at the gate vigilantly... saw Zhou Cang running out of breath.
Speaking of which, Zhou Cang was the most trusted martial artist by Guan Yu's side, and Ping Suli carried the Qinglong Yanyue Knife for Guan Yu.
However, on this expedition, Guan Yu specially left Zhou Cang in Jiangling in order to teach his three sons and one daughter martial arts.
- It's not an ordinary martial art, but a martial art that can kill the enemy in battle.
After a large number of civil and military personnel entered Shu, Jingzhou was too short of talents, and Guan Yu had to place high hopes on these children.
And the martial arts and loyal people around him, except for the "old man" Zhou Cang, can no one else.
"What's the matter?"
Because he was too familiar, Guan Yu spoke directly in Shanxi dialect.
Seeing that Zhou Cang was in a trance and looked dejected, Guan Yu asked, "But what happened in the six southern counties of Jingzhou!" ”
"No, General... Alas..."
Zhou Cang was incoherent.
He's a rough man, and when he's angry, he gets very excited, but he has to speak... I don't know where to start.
Guan Ping hurriedly handed a cup of tea to Zhou Cang.
"Uncle Zhou, take a sip of tea first, and speak slowly... Take your time. ”
Zhou Cang poured a sip of water and immediately said: "The last general is ashamed of his trust in the general, and the last general is only a shallow learner... Teach... Can't teach the general's child! ”
Guan Yu was stunned for a moment, and immediately settled down, brushing his long hair, "It must be Yinping's girl, this girl has always been very arrogant and disobedient to discipline, she must have made you so frustrated?" ”
Yinping is the daughter of Guan Yu, ranked third in the Guan family, known as Miss Guan San, and her real name is "Yan".
- Guan Yan, small character Yinping!
"It's not Miss Guan San... But..."Zhou Cang opened his mouth wide, but he couldn't say a word for a long time.
He's a rough man, but he's not a villain.
Hit a small report like this... He was disdainful, but now... This "little report" can't be played anymore!
"Uncle Zhou said slowly, slowly..."Guan Ping helped Zhou Cang to sit down.
Where is Zhou Cang willing to sit, before his butt touches the stool, Huo Ran stands up straight. "The third lady is obsessed with martial arts, and she gets up to practice every day before midnight, and she never sleeps when she is young... Although the second son Tianzi lacks a point, he is diligent and can make up for his clumsiness, and his martial arts are a thousand miles a day, as for the fifth son, although he is not as hard as the second son and the third lady, but Tianzi is excellent, and he has refined his martial arts for half a year, and it is not a problem to go into battle to kill the enemy..."
Zhou Cang said, and Guan Yu nodded.
Guan Ping whispered: "Isn't this good?" ”
Zhou Cang's words continued, but the next words were a little wrong, "Only, only the fourth son..."
"Cloud Banner?"
"Fourth brother?"
Guan Yu and Guan Ping subconsciously opened their mouths.
"Cloud Flag" is the word of Guan Lin, which means "the grace of driving the dragon and the snake of the cloud flag" in "Chu Ci"! ”
This is the small character that Liu Bei personally took for Guan Lin.
It carries the beautiful vision of "the banner of the Han Dynasty is raised again in the Central Plains", and it is the expectation of "the Han and the thief do not stand together, and the royal industry is not partial".
Because he almost died at birth, Liu Bei specially obtained Guan Yu's consent and gave Guan Lin the word "cloud", which means that he grew up and was as powerful and majestic as his father, and also meant that Guan Yu cherished and placed high hopes on this son who almost died young.
(Just like Zhu Zhi, the general of Eastern Wu, gave the word "Jun" in his word "Junli" to his first son Zhu Cai, and then Zhu Cai's word "Jun" was born!) )
But...
has always been the most ordinary, Guan Lin, this kid.
is so ordinary that it is more ordinary than the eldest brother's son Liu Chan and Liu Adou.
He...
Does he have the guts?
Guan Yu's eyebrows condensed, more puzzled and puzzled.
"Alas..."Zhou Cang sighed heavily, "Self-fighting... Since the general's expedition, the fourth son... He had never practiced martial arts! ”
"The last general originally thought that the fourth prince was sick in bed, so he neglected to teach, until... It wasn't until the last general saw with his own eyes that he... He's all pretending! He deceived the last general for half a year! ”
"He also said... What else do you say'Learn martial arts... Learning martial arts can't save the big man'! ”
