The line from Qinling Mountains to Huaihe River is the dividing line between the north and south, climate and geography of China.

On this dividing line, there are three vital strategic nodes, Hanzhong in the west, Xiangyang in the middle, Huainan ... That is, Shouchun, Judong.

All the wars in the middle and late stages of the entire Three Kingdoms probably revolved around these three places where soldiers must fight.

Among them, on the Hanzhong battlefield on the Western Front, Cao Cao and Liu Bei fought around it for three years;

On the Xiangfan battlefield in the middle line, Guan Yu fought against the all-star lineup under Sun and Cao with his own strength, and he fought until Wei and Wu could unite shamelessly and do that backstabbing act.

Shouchun in the east, it seems that since the death of Yuan Shu, the king of Huainan sabotage, there has been nothing wrong here.

But in fact, what did Sun Quan do when he fought Hefei five times in his life?

It is to go up the "water" and knock down this Shouchun City.

——Hefei is not the key to breaking the game, Shouchun is!

As long as Shouchun is not defeated, this "Shuishui" waterway will continue to send the Central Plains' soldiers and horses, grain and grass, and baggage to Hefei, threatening the mouth again and again.

Soochow's game can't be broken.

And to take Hefei, go up the river to take Shouchun, take Huainan, at that time the east can play Xuzhou, the west can take Runan, the north can also approach Xudu, this game of chess in Dongwu will be completely revitalized.

Of course, now Guan Lin is not thinking about this game of chess in Dongwu, but about this game of chess in Jingzhou.

At this moment, in the Changsha Post House, there is a huge map on the table.

Guan Lin's fingers crossed the Hanzhong of Bashu, and then crossed most of the map, directly to Shouchun, to Hefei, and then around a bend, to Xiangyang, and to Jiangxia.

In the end, he still pointed heavily on the point of Xiangyang, and he raised his head, as if he saw the appearance of his father Guan Yubing when he came to Xiangyang... Said to himself.

- "Gotta stop Daddy from attacking Xiangfan!" ”

When he blurted out these words, Liao Hua, Zhuge Ke, Zhang Xingcai, Mi Yang and others were all shocked.

Of course, they saw that Guan Lin was thinking, and they didn't dare to speak to interrupt Guan Lin.

But isn't it logical to take Xiangfan under such a big victory and take this important place in one fell swoop?

- But in fact, it's logical to be a caterpillar.

You must know that four years later, Guan Lin's father flooded the Seventh Army, and there was water dozens of feet on the flat ground around Fancheng, and the water surface was only a few planks lower than the thickness of the city wall of Fancheng.

Xiangyang was also flooded for the most part.

At that time, Daddy Guan Yu stood on the boat and peed, and he could make Cao Ren look good.

Yu Ban and Pang De's military camps were flooded, and they took a small boat to find a mound, and finally found a high place on the river embankment to settle down.

The sea and sky are the same as those of Fancheng and Xiangyang, and at a glance, only Yu Ban's army is standing there in a daze.

Daddy Guan Yu killed 10,000 enemies, captured 30,000 enemies, drowned countless people, and the seven armies were gone.

The brave Pang De was executed, the commander of the Seventh Army knelt down in Ban, and all the officials and generals of Cao Wei either died or surrendered...

However, even in this case, Xiangyang City and Fancheng did not lose a single one.

From this, how difficult is Xiangfan?

On the contrary, Dad floated, directly crossed the Jingjiang River and was defeated by Xu Huang, who came to support, and was stabbed in the back by Lu Meng of Eastern Wu, and the good situation was all buried.

And the defeat to Xu Huang is indispensable to Zhao Yan's credit, it is he who stabilized Cao Wei's military heart, which is why Cao Ren's perseverance, full of favor, the unity of the northern army, Xu Huang's desperateness, and Yanyu's troop transfer.

Precisely, in today's Xiangfan, although the backbone has been evacuated, there is still a Zhao Yan here, and it is not so easy to beat it down!

But Zhao Yan can support it for ten days.

Cao Cao's galloping aid, Yanyu's soldiers and horses, and urgent troop transfers will all come over.

Even... In such a situation, if you can't keep Qi, Dongwu will stink and shamelessly choose to "jump back" in advance.

- Daddy will be isolated and helpless in an instant.

And all of this happened unexpectedly.

It happened without the slightest preparation, which was too dangerous.

Countless historical experiences tell Guan Lin:

- People are often at their most comfortable, and when the situation is good, they are the most dangerous.

At this time, due to the comfortable external environment, it is easiest for people to relax their vigilance, and the danger is deep in it.

"You shouldn't let your dad read 'The Art of War', you shouldn't let him know 'the bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish...'!"

Guan Lin's eyes were already deeply condensed.

What he was most worried about was never his father's military talent, but his father's arrogance.

Now under such a big victory, Dad's arrogance is bound to be infinitely magnified.

Precisely, Guan Lin also asked him to read "The Art of War" and told him what "the bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish", in this way, wouldn't Dad take the risk of taking the "biggest wind and waves, the most expensive fish" Xiangfan!

– This is a red flag.

And one more, most, most, most important...

Guan Lin didn't need to let Daddy take such a risk during the dry season.

Because, Po Xiangfan... Ready-made examples are there.

- Flood the Seventh Army!

There is no need to wait until four years later, when the Jingjiang River and the Hanjiang River are in high water, and take advantage of the rainy season in July and August to dig the embankment of the Jingjiang River and pour back the water into Xiangfan...

Not to mention the seven-way army, even if the seventy-way army comes, it will be accepted in full.

That's the safest thing to do!

However, because of Guan Lin's prediction, the trajectory of history, there was a huge accident at the fork in the road between Xiangfan and Jiangxia.

It's time to take Jiangxia.

It's not the right time, and it's not a good opportunity!

In an instant, Guan Lin's fists clenched, and he made a decision, he had to pour a basin of cold water on his father to "lower the fire".

"Master Liao, I have a reluctant request."

Guan Lin hurriedly looked at Liao Hua.

Liao Hua arched his hand, "The fourth son, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”

"You're tired, you go to Jiangxia in person... Right now! ”

"Ahh Ahh

Guan Lin's cold words made Liao Hua startled, and he hurriedly asked: "Fourth son, in fact, the flying pigeon is faster!" ”

"The pigeon can't speak, and the pigeon can't persuade my father!" Guan Lin's tone was solemn, and his words were even more meticulous, and he had already begun to write.

Zhang Xingcai seemed to be used to it, and when she saw Guan Lin lifting the pen, she hurriedly went to polish the ink for her.

Of course, Zhang Xingcai couldn't help but take the opportunity to glance at the words on Guan Lin's bamboo slips.

But I saw the seven words that jumped out, and I wrote them down first.

- "Father's sin is now guilty!" ”

This...

Zhang Xingcai was confused.

How... Beat Xiangfan, the second uncle is going to commit a crime again?

Brother Yunqi... This is... Is this going to be with the second uncle again?

Can... This time, there is no reason at all!

Zhang Xingcai patted his little head in panic.

Obviously, Guan Gong's reply letter was full of praise for Brother Yunqi, and it was even more clear that he had made great contributions this time.

Shouldn't this allow for the greatest degree of easing of the relationship between father and son?

How... Another letter of sin.

Zhang Xingcai's jaw was about to drop in shock, but at this time, looking at Yunqi's sworn and intolerable appearance.

She didn't dare to say it, nor did she dare to ask.

Guan Lin continued to instruct Liao Hua while writing, "Please ask Master Liao to tell my father in person, saying that his son has seen through him, but he has won a small battle, but he has beheaded four insignificant generals Cao Wei, and his father will definitely be blind... Then, if it floats, it will go to fetch Xiangfan! ”

"But the child said ugly things to the front, if Daddy dares to fight Xiangfan, this battle is bound to lose very badly, and all the previous advantageous situation has been buried, and his head is in a different place... Even the Guan family army is gone! Blind seven or eight waves! buried the good situation that the child gave him, and he didn't even want to lose his face. ”

This...

"Knock", Liao Hua swallowed his saliva, he Guan Lin dared to read this, but how could he Liao Hua dare to say it?

Isn't it just a Xiangfan, as for it?

Is this the rhythm of the father-son fight again?

Liao Hua hurriedly opened his mouth, he wanted to persuade.

"The fourth son... This... This..."

"Master Liao, don't ask anything, I can predict that Wen Ping will burn the ship, and I can predict that my father will lose very badly when he fights Xiangfan, and he and Guan Jiajun will be wiped out! You just have to tell him my words word for word, let him not be blind, and honestly take advantage of the absence of Wenpin, the 'Jiangxia Iron Wall', to take the north of Jiangxia, so... Advance can directly take Nanyang, and retreat can also make Xiangfan isolated, this is what he should do now! As long as you hold on, you'll win! ”

Belch...

Liao Hua listened to Guan Lin's words, and his cold sweat was about to flow out.

He felt so big, he hadn't sweated so much...

There was even a moment when Liao Hua had an illusion, who is the father of Guan Yu and Guan Lin? Who is the son?

Why is this "son training father" similar to "father training son"!

Is this the other way around?

Of course...

The name of Guan Lin's "rebel son" has long been heard of by Liao Hua.

Guan Lin and Guan Gong are tense and-for-tat... It's not once or twice.

Liao Hua has also heard of it, and even... This "rebel" also forced Guan Gong to write a guilty book.

Can... After all, it was just a rumor, and Liao Hua never believed that there were still people in this world who could not be "filial" to such a point.

Can...

Today, he's really a knife in the ass—it's an eye-opener!

What "Daddy is blind; ”

What" is simply a face; ”

What "let him not be blind; ”

Is this what a son can say about his father?

It's just that Dad is not Guan Gong, so he shouldn't be so sharp-tongued, right?

Take 10,000 steps back and say...

Guan Lin dared to say this, did he Liao Hua dare to say this in front of Guan Yu?

Suddenly, Liao Hua only felt... There was a chill in his neck, like the Green Dragon Glaive Knife greeting him again.

- Chilly...

Immediately... Liao Hua covered his ears, "If the fourth prince has a letter, I can help you bring it, but you can bring it and persuade Guan Gong... You'd better ask for another skill, this job... I can't do it. ”

Instigated...

Indeed, not everyone has the courage to face Guan Gong's anger as much as Guan Lin.

More people don't need Guan Gong's anger, just one look, and they wilt...

This...

Guan Lin looked at Liao Hua with a hint of melancholy, in fact, it was best for him to go in person, anyway, it was not the first time to damage his father.

How to make his father red-faced, how to make him ashamed, how to make him want to find a crack in the ground to get into.

Guan Lin has a wealth of "combat" experience.

Can... Changsha is still too far away from Jiangxia, seven hundred miles in an emergency, he will fall apart, so what can he do?

In the midst of doubt...

But I heard a voice come out suddenly.

- "I'll go!" ”

Guan Lin is looking for prestige, it is Zhuge Ke...

He straightened his waist and said meticulously: "I can go with Liao Zhubo, there are waterways and land routes here, my riding skills are not bad, I can keep up with Liao Zhubo's horse, if Liao Zhubo doesn't dare to say anything, I can convey it for the fourth prince." ”

Zhuge Ke was just too curious about Guan Lin.

curious about the "Original Way" he wrote;

He was even more curious about his clear-minded smashing cylinder;

He was extremely curious about his ability to accurately predict Wenpin's idea of burning the ship;

Now... When Guan Lin said such "sharp" words, Zhuge Ke was surprised at first, but soon, he was relieved.

He realized that the idea of this fourth prince Guan had never seemed to be different.

And this is also a huge gap in vision between them.

Zhuge Ke was eager to understand Guan Lin.

He had never longed for a person so longing for him.

He wants to find the gap between his vision and Guan Lin, and answer what is the "cylinder" that blocks his progress?

So...

He must participate in such "incredible" actions as Guan Lin, and find answers from these actions.

Hiss...

Guan Lin didn't expect that Zhuge Ke would take the initiative to ask for help.

This is a surprise.

"Have you thought about it?" Guan Lin had finished writing the bamboo slips, and while rolling up the bamboo slips, he asked Zhuge Ke.

Zhuge Ke nodded heavily, "You can't stay in the well and sit in the well and watch the sky, right?" ”

These words made Guan Lin's evaluation of Zhuge Ke suddenly a lot higher.

He nodded and patted Zhuge Ke on the shoulder.

"I'm optimistic about you..."

Speaking of this, Guan Lin did not forget to remind: "As for... My father's words, you don't have to be afraid of him, you just treat him as a paper tiger who is strong on the outside, you are my person, he doesn't dare to touch you..."

Inexplicably, Guan Lin's words, especially the sentence "You are my person, he doesn't dare to touch you", considering that the other party is Guan Yu, this makes Zhuge Ke feel very domineering.

Speaking of this, Guan Lin paused, but his next words suddenly became serious.

- "Langya boy, I still have to tell you a few words, you must be cold enough, ruthless enough, if you want to suppress my father in aura, just tell me in person, I must let my father give up attacking Xiangfan, attack Jiangxia instead, if he insists on going his own way..."Speaking of this, Guan Lin stuffed the bamboo slip in his hand to him.

"If he insists on going his own way, you will read the contents of this bamboo slip."

Zhuge Ke didn't know the content of Guan Lin's bamboo slip.

But Zhang Xingcai's heart is like a mirror, this is another letter... Let Guan Gong write his own book!

Zhang Xingcai could already imagine that once the second uncle heard the content of this bamboo slip, his expression, his face... His heaving chest was burning with rage.

"-Knock" sound...

Zhang Xingcai swallowed his saliva, and at this moment, Liao Hua shook his head and helplessly led Zhuge Ke to pick a horse.

Mi Yang also retreated.

For a while, only Guan Lin and Zhang Xingcai were left in this big room.

It was only at this time that Zhang Xingcai couldn't help but ask: "Brother Yunqi is persuading the second uncle, just state the reason, count the great merit you made before, if the reason is sufficient, it is conclusive... The second uncle won't refuse, right? Why... And so-for-tat? ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Xingcai blinked his eyes and added, "How do I feel that you did it on purpose!" ”

As Zhang Xingcai's words fell.

Guan Lin let out a long sigh of "sigh...", this time it was really deliberate.

He sighed in a low voice:

"Sister Xingcai, how do you know my father?"

"My dad is just too conceited, persuade... The people who can persuade him are all in Chengdu. Instead of letting me him, it's better to scold him bloodily, not to say cruel words, not to refute him, not to scold him... He will forever burrow into the tip of his own horns, insisting on going his own way, ignoring the soldiers of the three armies, I have to scold him, but also wake him up! ”

This...

Zhang Xingcai's big eyes blinked continuously, and it seemed that she couldn't intervene about this pair of "Guan family father and son", and she couldn't judge who was right and who was wrong.

But...

That Xiangfan and Jiang Xia's choice.

Zhang Xingcai couldn't help but ask: "Why is Brother Yunqi determined to attack Xiangfan... The second uncle will be defeated very miserably, and even his head will be in a different place, and the Guan family army will be wiped out! ”

"This..."

Guan Lin muttered in his mouth, in fact, this question is not easy for him to answer.

In the end, he is also derived.

It is a comparison of the current situation with the situation at the time of the flooding of the Seventh Army.

Don't look at the current situation, Cao Ren fainted, Cao Chun, Wen Ping, Niu Jin, Lu Chang, and Man Zhong died, it seems that the Xiangfan Cao Wei power building will fall.

But in fact, the current situation is far worse than when the Seventh Army was flooded.

The biggest gap is within Cao Wei.

You must know that the biggest impact of Guan Yu's flooding of the Seventh Army was not to kill 10,000 and capture 30,000 enemies;

It's not about beheading Pound, it's about being forbidden.

It's - let Cao Wei chill.

Let the whole northern earth shake.

As a result, the anti-Cao people lurking in the Central Plains and the north broke out a large number of rebellions.

——Xuchang broke out in Geng Ji's judgment;

- Lu Hun had an uprising;

- There was a rebellion in Daijun;

- A rebellion broke out in Wancheng, forcing Cao Ren to order the slaughter of the city.

There is also Wei Wei's rebellion in Cao Wei's base and base camp Yecheng.

There is also Hu Xiu, the assassin of Jingzhou, and Fu Fang, the Taishou of Nanxiang County, who rebelled and led the people to surrender to Guan Yu.

There was an army in Liang County, Sizhou, a hundred miles away from Luoyang, to revolt in response to Guan Yu.

These are the biggest effects of the flooded Seventh Army.

It was also because of these conditions that Guan Yu obtained the best Northern Expedition fighters.

Of course, now it is also a great victory, annihilating all the backbone of Cao Wei Xiangfan.

But compared to... The influence of the Seventh Army when it was flooded was very different.

What's more, when the Seventh Army was flooded, they couldn't capture Xiangfan, and they couldn't withstand Cao Wei's all-star rush to help, let alone now.

- It's not that you can't fight, it's that you can't afford to fight!

Comparatively speaking, it is much easier north of Jiangxia.

Originally, this was the place where Wen Ping led his troops to garrison.

There are not too many Cao Wei's soldiers and horses, and they are relatively independent.

And Wen Ping died... This is tantamount to a group of dragons without a leader, and if you send an official from Cao Wei at random, you can't control the scene at all, and it won't help.

Therefore, taking Jiangxia is a breeze and the safest way.

So...

The question is, how to explain it to Zhang Xingcai?

"Actually... Guan Lin Hu made up: "I heard that Cao Cao's son Cao Pi is building a new city in Luoyang, and another son Cao Zhi is stationed in Yecheng... Do you guess, my father made such a big move, and the two of them, who were determined to compete for the position of the prince, would not have taken the slightest action? ”

Cao Pi?

Cao Zhi?

Suddenly hearing these two names, Zhang Xingcai seemed to suddenly realize, and she hurriedly said: "It turned out that Brother Yunqi predicted that Cao Cao's two sons would rush to Xiangfan's aid!" ”

Guan Lin actually wants to say, I made it up and lied to you!

After all, there is no historical evidence.

But think about it, at this point in time.

These two "quite ambitious" boys are indeed very likely to bring troops to support Xiangfan.

Moreover... Must be faster than a rabbit.

This is about the game of the two of them, and it is also about the forces behind them, as well as the so-called "masters!" ”

That's right...

If it was Sima Yi and Yang Xiu, they would definitely let Cao Pi and Cao Zhi make an edict for their father, gather soldiers and horses, and gallop to help Xiangfan.

- As long as Xiangfan is kept, this credit is too great, and the competition for the position of the prince is too important.

With this in mind, Guan Lin looked at Zhang Xingcai's suddenly enlightened appearance, nodded, and said with emotion: "It is worthy of Sister Xingcai... As smart as ever! This must have inherited the wit and cleverness of my third uncle. ”

That's it.

"—Who boasts of me? Through the two doors, I heard it. ”

Zhang Fei's loud voice came out...

As if noticing that the distance with Guan Lin was too close, Zhang Xingcai deliberately sat to the side, and the eyes of the two looked at the door at the same time.

Sure enough, Zhang Fei came back.

Guan Lin hurriedly asked, "Zhang Zhongjing's side..."

Without waiting for him to ask, Zhang Fei said: "I personally escorted the medicine that the two descendants went to buy, and now, the medicine has also been cut, and that Zhang Zhongjing has also taken it, but... When taking the medicine, the old man looked like he was about to die, alas... Next... It's up to him to make it! ”

Is it about to die?

Guan Lin frowned slightly.

But in my heart, I sighed - "It's good to take the medicine..."

Yes, it is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen.

This is all Guan Lin can do related to medicine and pharmacy.

"Ugh..."

He sighed faintly...

muttered in my heart.

- "The life of Zhang Zhongjing in Changsha, the life of Fazheng in Shuzhong... It's all going to be tonight!'

Because of the Fa Zheng in Shu.

Guan Lin suddenly thought of something.

- "Then again, Yang Yi... It's time to go to Shuzhong, right?"

- "Also, the news of Cao Ren's fainting in Xiangyang City has also reached Hanzhong, right?"

Oops, hey...

Guan Lin's original rolling eyes suddenly froze.

As if seeing everything, he raised his eyebrows and smiled faintly.

Feeling in my heart:

- "The situation in Shuzhong and Hanzhong will also change!"

Oh, yes.

- Zhuge Liang's exam questions, Guan Lin's three answers.

- Cao Ren fainted, Cao Chun died, and the tiger and leopard rider died in name only.

These two things were transmitted to the east and west at the same time.

The sky of the two rivers will also change!

…
