Chapter 171 At the end of the day, Guan Erye was messy in the wind
- Ma's five constants, white eyebrows are the best!
This is not an empty phrase.
can make Zhuge Liang value, and specially leave to assist Guan Yu to guard Jingzhou, and implement the plan of "Longzhong to" a corner of Jingzhou.
Ma Liang is not only a virtuous person, but also has a terrible sense of the big picture and insight.
Need to know...
In history, when "Guan Yu carelessly lost Jingzhou", Ma Liang was transferred to Yizhou for a post.
If he had been in Jingzhou at the time, perhaps... Still can't change the final defeat.
But certainly, the loss can be compensated to the greatest extent.
Perhaps, it will not cause the tragedy of failure and defeat of Maicheng and Guan Gong's death.
Besides, at this moment, just like Mi Fang, Wang Fu and others, after hearing Guan Lin's sentence - "The thief hires Wen... It is bound to surprise the army, attack Fuhu Mountain at night, and burn the warship".
They were indifferent.
They couldn't have imagined... How could Wen Ping go to attack Fuhu Mountain?
But when these words reached Ma Liang's ears, he immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
It is true that Guan Yu laid down three military villages to lure snakes out of holes...
Wen Ping, the snake, has been cornered, and he will definitely go out.
But... What if he attacked not three military fortresses, but warships? What about his purpose in burning these ships?
It is precisely because of the dry period that the warship is useless, so Guan Gong will neglect the protection of the warship, which is the only weakness and breakthrough point of the "leading the snake out of the hole" chess game under Guan Gong.
And what if... These warships were burned, and the impact on Guan Gong and the Northern Expedition was by no means limited to this battle.
At this time, taking into account Yunqi's previous prediction.
His reminder would rather be believed than not!
"βWhew... Whew..."
With two long gasps, Ma Liang once again showed his vision and the courage to make a decision.
"How many soldiers does General Wang Fu have in his hands?"
This... Wang Fu didn't expect Ma Liang to ask him this, he pondered for a moment, "There are two thousand, but this is the garrison stationed in Jiangling, and they can't move without permission." β
"I can't care about that much." Ma Liang immediately ordered: "General Wang Fu, you have to rush to Fuhu Mountain immediately with 2,000 soldiers to protect the more than 200 warships." β
Yes...
Wang Fu was even more stunned, but he still insisted on his idea and clearly refused: "Guan Gong has given an order, if there is no order from him, I will not be allowed to take a step out of Jiangling City, not to mention... Now in the dry season, the warships are useless... How can you abandon Gangneung Castle and defend the warship? β
- "Ahhh
Ma Liang realized that Wang Fu's temperament was only obeyed by Guan Gong's orders.
Explanations are in vain!
Can... At this time, there is no room for it and it is imminent, how can there be time to wait for Guan Gong's order?
Unfortunately...
In addition to Wang Fu's two thousand soldiers, there are... Who else has soldiers?
When Ma Liang was suspicious, his eyes suddenly swept to Mi Fang.
He was pleasantly surprised to realize that Mi Fang had private soldiers and a trilogy!
To know...
In addition to the 30,000 soldiers of the Guan family army in Jingzhou, Mi Fang also had more than 7,000 parts, giving Guan Lin 1,000... There are still more than 6,000 of them today!
That's more than 6,000 enough... That's enough!
Immediately, Ma Liang looked at Mi Fang.
Mi Fang seemed to realize what he was going to say, and waved his hand again and again, "Ji Chang, I think... General Wang Fu is right, now is the dry season, and the warships are useless? How can there be a reason to abandon Gangneung City and defend the warship? Isn't that the opposite of the case? β
Hearing Mi Fang's words, Ma Liang's heart came out of crying.
- "Are you still in the wrong direction?"
- "It's because Guan Gong thinks so too, so... This is a huge flaw! If it weren't for the fourth prince Yunqi, even I... Even I'm going to be kept in the dark!'
Thinking so in his heart, Ma Liang pondered how to fool...
No, this is not a fool, how to persuade this "money-hungry" Mi Fang Mi Taishou to send troops?
Wait a minute...
Suddenly, Maleonn realized something.
ββBuilding a new city...
That's right, what Mi Fang has been striving for is to build a new city!
It's the interests of Guan Lin's kid in the new city!
Ma Liang seemed to grasp the straw that saved his life, and he hurriedly said: "Zifang, I don't have time to explain some words now, I'll just say this, if you listen to me, take Ling's troops to Fuhu Mountain and defend these warships..."
"I, Maleon, assure you, that the two new cities... Yunqi Gongzi occupies seventy percent of the land, I, Ma Liang, no longer question it, fully support Yunqi Gongzi, wait for Guan Gong to triumph, I will work with you two to persuade Guan Gong! β
Ma Liang is also fighting, at this time, it is already 100,000 urgent.
He looked at Mi Fang with blank eyes.
He admitted that just a quarter of an hour ago, he was still very unkind to see Mi Fang, and his heart was full of thoughts - Zifang, Zifang, please don't read it, how could Guan Gong hand over seventy percent of the land in the new city to Yunqi?
I never thought that in today's situation, this Mi Zi Fang... It has become the hope of the entire Gangneung, the entire Northern Expedition.
Wistfully...
Eagerly awaited!
At this time, let alone seventy, even eighty or ninety, Ma Liang has to agree!
For a while, Ma Liang almost cried when he looked at Mi Fang's eyes, begging!
"No..."
With Mi Fang's words, Ma Liang suddenly had a feeling of a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and mourning was greater than death.
Who would have thought that Mi Fang's words were still continuing, but it was a turning point.
"-Empty words, you have to give me a note!"
"-Good, good, good..."
Ma Liang did not dare to hesitate at all, and immediately wrote the note.
ββJiangling, Changsha County Casting New Town, I, Ma Liang, set up this note, I am bound to fully support the son of Yunqi and occupy seventy percent of the land!
Because he was in too much of a hurry, Ma Liang also used a knife to cut a hole in his hand, and quickly pressed the handprint!
And his hands were shaking with this action.
Mi Fang was still not at ease, and added, "Ji Chang, you have to swear again." β
Ma Liang didn't say a word.
"-I... I, Ma Liang, swear, if I don't help Yunqi Gongzi get seventy percent of the land in the new city, I Ma Liang will cover my face with yellow sand, and I won't die well! β
Mi Fang put away the note with satisfaction, and did not forget to remind Wang Fu, "General Wang, you heard Ji Chang's oath, but I didn't force him, he wants to cheat Ming'er, you have to testify for me." β
Without waiting for Wang Fu to speak...
Ma Liang had already pushed Mi Fang out the door.
"Zifang, Zifang, you will send troops now... Take your part with you! β
"No... You go to the thief Cao Peng first, and bring the parts you lost to Yunqi with you, be sure... We must keep these two hundred ships safe! β
Mi Fang walked with disdain on her face.
"Ji Chang, you're just too nervous, who attacked the warship in this dry season? Isn't that enough to hold on? Besides... Protect this warship? My 6,000 parts are not enough..."
"Not enough!" Ma Liang's tone was accentuated, and his tone was even more meticulous. "Zifang, let me tell you, if the warship is really burned, I can talk ugly about the front, then the new city... Don't say that it is seventy percent of the land, that is, thirty percent or forty percent, and I will never let Guan Gong give it to Yunqi! β
- Gotcha!
Ma Liang's words can be regarded as poking Mi Fang's sore spot.
"Okay, okay... You can rest assured! β
Mi Fang patted her chest, "I'm Mi Fang, the people are on the boat, I'm going... I'm going to go to the thief Cao Peng, okay? Ji Chang, are you satisfied? And also... Seasonal... You... Don't bluff me! β
Saw this one gone.
Ma Liang's heart was especially throbbing.
- "Bluffing you? Hehe... It's not the first time that Cloud Banner has guessed the enemy's movements!'
- "And this time, it's still a good time, this... It's all burning eyebrows... Who is bluffing you?'
And the reason why Ma Liang proposed to let Mi Fang go to the thief Cao Peng's family and bring the 1,000 people who were given to Guan Lin.
Ah no... Not a thousand, to be exact, but nine hundred.
It's not because of the number, but because these 900 people are Guan Lin's subordinates, they have crossbows in their hands and side vans!
What is the level of Mi Fang's combat effectiveness, Ma Liang still has a forced number in his heart!
If you don't have artifacts like crossbows and partial vans.
If you can't keep it, you have to be hired by others!
"Ji Chang...", but at this moment, Wang Fu walked up to Ma Liang's side, "What's the matter, you have become so uncalm this time?" β
"Yikes..."
If it weren't for Wang Fu's reminder, Ma Liang almost forgot it, and he wouldn't have bothered to answer Wang Fu at all. "Letter... General Liaohua's letter must be immediate... Immediately... Finish sending the customs office! β
"-I almost forgot, I almost delayed the big thing!"
β¦
β¦
The four sides of the bathroom are shrouded in a light veil, like smoke and mist, and the steam of hot water fills the room like a dream.
Someone had already poured flower dew into the bathtub.
Guan Lin sat in one barrel, and Zhuge Ke sat in another.
Zhuge Ke was surprised, why... The fourth son, Guan Lin, chatted with him for the first time, and the place he chose was not a formal main hall or a hidden study, but in such a private and private bathroom.
"Do you know why, I chose this bathroom?" Guan Lin was the first to speak.
Zhuge Ke shook his head. "I don't know."
A hint of surprise flashed in Guan Lin's eyes, "People say you are smart, but you are as smart as you... Don't you even guess? β
Zhuge Ke smiled, "Since the fourth prince asked, if the answer is correct, he will rob the fourth son's next words, if the answer is not right, it will inevitably disappoint the fourth son, since this is the case, simply don't answer!" β
Hearing this, Guan Lin felt that this kid was a little interesting.
He grabbed the edge of the barrel and approached Zhuge Ke for a minute.
"I chose this place because... Let's be honest with each other! β
Speaking of this, Guan Lin waved his hand and asked directly, "Your father asked you to come?" β
"The fourth prince is talking about my current father, Zhuge Kongming? Or is it the former father and the current uncle Zhuge Ziyu? β
Guan Lin suddenly felt that his questioning was not rigorous.
Ancient people, overstepped... You see!
"Let me ask again, was it Zhuge Ziyu, the envoy of Eastern Wu, who sent you?"
"It's not!"
"That's not right, after all, you passed on to Zhuge Junshi, you should also go to Shuzhong to find your new father, I Guan Lin and you are not related, why did you come to look for me?" Guan Lin threw out his most curious question.
Zhuge Ke paused, looked at himself in the barrel, and then looked at Guan Lin with his upper body exposed, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
- "These four sons are really straight to the point, and they are honest with each other!"
Immediately, Zhuge Ke did not hide it.
"Yesterday, on the bank of the Laodao River, next to Luohan Village, I saw Guan Sigongzi..."
"Oh... Are you here to persuade me? Without waiting for Zhuge Ke to finish speaking, Guan Lin's words had already come out.
"Mencius said: The benevolent love others, the courteous respect others, the lovers will always love them, and the respectful people will always respect them..."
Of course, this is not to blame him, he is a newcomer, to Guan Lin... Not familiar.
If the sage's doctrine can persuade Guan Lin, then Guan Yu doesn't have to write his own guilt.
"Ahem..."
Sure enough, Guan Lin directly interrupted Zhuge Ke's words with a light cough, but the conversation changed sharply, without mentioning yesterday's events at all. "In this way, you passed on to Zhuge Junshi, what about your brother Zhuge Qiao? Why didn't your father succeed him, but he succeeded you? β
Guan Lin looked at Zhuge Ke's fat belly and asked with interest: "Could it be that your father thinks you are too fat?" Not really, right? Zhuge Jin is also the envoy of Eastern Wu, so he shouldn't judge people by their appearance! β
Hear this...
Zhuge Ke immediately wanted to say something.
- Am I eating your rice?
But he still held back, his sense of mission was extremely strong, and he repeated in his heart that he was here to persuade Guan Lin.
It's just that Zhuge Ke discovered... His conversation with Guan Lin is not at all on the same point.
Zhuge Ke is a serious and straightforward expression.
"The matter of succession is a family matter of my Zhuge clan, so I don't have to worry about the fourth son."
"But does the fourth prince know what kind of status Doctor Zhang has in Changsha, even in Jingzhou, and in the apricot forest in the world? Yesterday in front of his house, you beat people, broke in, and kidnapped people? You don't care about the repercussions, but have you ever thought that if someone were to help the world tell the story, then... Where will your father's prestige be? β
Oh...
A denunciation.
Guan Lin blinked his eyes, although this remark was not good.
But... The information in it is quite large.
"I'll answer some of your questions..."Guan Lin looked arrogant, "First of all, will it affect me if I beat, break in, and kidnap people?" I'm sorry, I've always been not afraid of people's words, of course, the impact on my father... What do I care about his influence? Haven't you heard of my name as a 'rebel'! β
Speaking of this, Guan Lin's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a fierce light, "Also, you just said that someone is fueling the trouble, it is your former father Zhuge Jin... He's fueling the fire, right? β
This...
Suddenly being told that his heart was broken, Zhuge Ke's brows suddenly condensed, as if he was very nervous.
"You don't have to be afraid." Guan Lin always smiled, but with a 'swish', he got up from the wooden basin.
He put on a layer of yukata and turned his back to Zhuge Ke.
But he said loudly: "I, Guan Lin, am not afraid of people's words? How can you be afraid of people fueling the trouble, but your former father... I'm worried about him, I'm afraid that in the end, I will have to move stones and hit my feet, and stealing chickens will not make it a mess! β
After speaking, Guan Lin had already wrapped his yukata and went to the side room to change clothes.
Changsha is dry and damp.
In this era, there are no chili peppers, and it is difficult for moisture to be discharged... It's really uncomfortable not to take a shower!
As for inviting Zhuge Ke along, it was actually just a coincidence.
However, after Guan Lin left, in the steamy bathroom, only Zhuge Ke was still sitting alone in the barrel.
Time...
Guan Lin's words echoed in his ears one by one.
- Not afraid of people's words!
- The impact on my dad? I don't care about his influence!
- Haven't you heard of my name as a 'rebel'!
Especially the last sentence - it's your old father... I'm afraid that I will have to move stones again in the end!
Zhuge Ke frowned slightly, his mind was delicate, and he was keenly aware of it.
"This Guan Sigongzi is a genius, it seems to be used... Used 'again'... The word 'again' was used! β
"That is to say... The last time Hefei gambled, my father's encouragement, he... He knows! β
For a while, Zhuge Ke's eyes showed a little more understanding.
But with the deepening of this "understanding", what was added to his mind was more confusion and incomprehension.
He prides himself on being a visionary, a man of people, and a man of all things.
But...
to the fourth son of Guan in front of him.
He turned out... I couldn't see anything.
- Is he really a rebel?
- Why is he so mysterious?
β¦
β¦
ββThe sun has set in the west, and Mu Xia is scorching.
In the official office of Xiangyang City, there was a "crisp sound" of drawing a knife, startling several sparrows that were resting in the nest.
Wen Ping wiped the sword, and the shiny sword body was like frost and snow, reflecting his faintly excited eyes.
Man Pet is still anxiously speaking. "Isn't it okay?"
In an instant, Wen Ping's eyes were raised, and he looked at Man Zhong with infinite encouragement.
"The time has come..."
"I'll lead the cavalry to Fuhu Mountain first, and you lead the infantry to pay close attention to the movements of the Guanjia military camp!"
This moment... Full of pets have been waiting for a long time.
"The knights in the city have long sharpened their knives and are ready to go!"
Wen Ping bowed, he stood up, and muttered: "I heard that the battle of Guandu, Cao Gong attacked Wuchao at night, causing the situation to flip, defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, sweep the north, and establish the cause of the king!" β
"Today... I am not talented, I am willing to follow Cao Gong, burn Guan Yu's warship at night, seize Guan Yu's ordnance baggage, and turn the situation in Xiangfan upside down! β
Immediately.
Taking advantage of the night, the gate of Xiangyang City quietly opened.
The title of the person, the hoof of the horse...
A cavalry army of 3,000 Cao troops, under the cover of the dark night, quickly rushed towards Fuhu Mountain.
β¦
β¦
Tonight, Guan Yinping is destined to be uneasy.
The eldest brother Guan Ping, the second brother Guan Xing, and the fifth brother Guan Suo were all sent to ambush, but she was the only one who accompanied her father in the Chinese army.
Not far away, the enemy's camp was like a dormant turtle, using its huge turtle shell towards the Guan family's army...
There is no half-minute awakening and killing appearance.
Seem...
There is no need to defend the camp of the Guanjia army at all.
Guan Yinping felt so lonely.
At this moment, she is restless in the big tent of the Chinese army, sometimes puffing out her cheeks, sometimes sighing angrily, and looking helpless.
At this moment, Guan Yu is holding a book, but it is not "The Left Biography of the Spring and Autumn Period"...
Because Guan Lin mentioned it too many times, he asked him not to read "Spring and Autumn" and read "The Art of War" instead, what else did he say... The bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish!
Guan Yu was confused when he heard it.
At first, Guan Yu didn't think anything of it, but he was deflated by this stinky boy's hands several times in a row.
This made Guan Yu have a feeling, could it be because this kid read "The Art of War", so he deceived Guan Yu into the gutter.
Therefore, during this time, Guan Yu suddenly liked to read "The Art of War"...
Today, Guan Yu is reading the second set of "Enemy Tactics" in "The Art of War", "Show it to move, benefit it quietly and have the main benefit to move and Xun!" β
That is to say, to take the initiative to take action, to confuse the enemy by using frontal feints, feints, and illusions.
When the enemy is focused on our superficial actions, he secretly detours to other advantageous locations, takes advantage of the situation, and makes a surprise attack, so as to seize the initiative on the battlefield and win the final victory.
Guan Yu pondered while reading...
Speaking of which, although he likes to pretend, he is also a person who loves to think.
- "This one, this is similar to when Han Xin led his troops to attack from Hanzhong to Guanzhong, the 'Ming Xiu Plank Road, Dark Chen Cang'..."
As Guan Yu thought.
The so-called - "Ming Xiu Plank Road, Dark Chen Cang", is Han Xin sent part of the troops to build a mountain plank road leading to Guanzhong with great fanfare to attract the main force of the Xiang army.
Secretly, he sent a force to attack Chencang from a remote trail, detoured to attack Chencang, defeated the Xiang army in one fell swoop, and pacified Sanqin.
- "This plan... It's not subtle!'
Pondering it here.
Guan Yu suddenly felt that this "Sun Tzu's Art of War" was really more useful than "The Left Biography of the Spring and Autumn Period" to a certain extent.
It's Guan Yinping, she can't stand the loneliness at all.
"Daddy... Are you because the child is a woman, therefore... Just send the eldest brother, second brother, and fifth brother to ambush them, but leave me and my father to garrison the Chinese army? β
Guan Yinping is about to go crazy...
Obviously, according to her father's prediction, the enemy army will attack by surprise tonight, which is obviously a good time to make meritorious contributions, but it seems that she will eventually miss these feats!
She hesitated, she was speechless, she couldn't help but ask Daddy Guan Yu.
Guan Yu did not hurry to answer Guan Yinping with the strategy in the recently learned "Sun Tzu's Art of War": "Sun Tzu said, it is like a virgin from the beginning, and the enemy opens an account; After taking off the rabbit, the enemy is too late to refuse. β
The meaning of this sentence:
Before the start of war, you should be as calm and weak as a virgin, and induce the enemy to let down his guard;
Once the battle has begun, move as quickly as an escaped hare, taking the enemy by surprise and unable to resist.
However...
These words reached Guan Yinping's ears, and she was ten thousand disdainful.
She found that she couldn't be as quiet and weak as she was here.
She prefers to be like a hare, taking the enemy by surprise.
Ben wanted to complain to his father again.
Just then, a guard hurried in.
Hurriedly reported.
"General Liao Hua's flying pigeon sent back an urgent message, saying that the fourth prince has something to bring to Guan Gong, and 100,000 is urgent?"
- "Cloud Banner? 100,000 urgent?'
Hearing this report, Guan Yu and Guan Yinping had such a rhetorical question in their minds at the same time.
And their thoughts are almost identical.
Isn't it... Answer the answer to the meaning of the stone tablets of "Fuhu Mountain" and "Zhuodao Spring"?
As for... 100,000 urgent.
Guan Yinping is very interested in whether the fourth brother can answer, after all, it is related to whether she can increase her troops by more than 1,000.
Actually, Guan Yu was also very curious.
The steles of "Fuhu Mountain" and "Zhuodao Spring" were set up by Zhuge Kongming, except for the locals of Jiangxia, few people know about it...
Guan Yu wanted to know if this kid's ghost cleverness could answer this question.
Immediately, Guan Yu quickly unfolded the letterhead.
And at first glance, what and what?
Seem... This is not an answer to the "Fuhu Mountain" and "Zhuodao Spring" stone tablets... But...
Wait a minute... Guan Yu was stunned.
Immediately "rubbed", he stood up stunned.
It's like that - "moving like a rabbit"!
And the "Art of War" that he was originally holding in his hand fell to the ground in an instant.
Almost at the same time, his eyes widened, staring directly at the words on the letterhead, especially Guan Lin's words, every word, every sentence!
And his expression also changed from the usual indifference and calmness to shock, stunned, and a little inexplicably flustered.
Judging by this expression...
It must be - something big is wrong!
"Father..."Guan Yinping asked curiously, "Could it be that the fourth brother's answer is not good?" β
But he heard Guan Yu say lightly: "He answered too well!" β
Immediately afterwards, Guan Yu muttered: "Show it to move, it is good for it to be quiet and there is a master to move... Quiet as a virgin, moving as a rabbit... Oh no, even though I have a thousand thoughts, I only ignore that side! β
As soon as these words came out, I saw Guan Yu shouting quickly.
- "Where are the Chinese officers?" β
- "Shoot now!" Point cavalry! Guan wants to march immediately! β
Obviously, because of this letterhead, because of the words of his son Guan Lin in this letterhead, because of the "Art of War" read during this time!
Guan Yu realized something in an instant.
And at this moment, his appearance;
The way his hands clenched into fists, Danfeng's eyes quickly opened and closed, just like four words - messy in the wind!
