Zhuge Liang gave Guan Yu's son Guan Lin three exam questions.

Liu Bei knew about this.

Even Liu Bei also expects that Guan Lin Guan Yunqi, who was taught by Kong Ming, can become a blockbuster and be favored by Kong Ming and accepted as a disciple of Guan Ming.

As for Kong Ming's exam questions, Liu Bei is actually quite curious, but because of his identity, it is inconvenient to ask in detail.

At this moment, Zhuge Liang took Guan Lin's first answer sheet out of his arms, slowly unfolded it, and presented it to Liu Bei.

After Liu Bei took it, he read it again, and his subconscious feeling was the same as when Zhuge Liang first saw it.

It's just perfunctory and nonsense.

Liu Bei couldn't help but shake his head.

Kong Ming's exam papers dare to answer like this, it seems... He didn't have this blessing and became Kong Ming's disciple.

Can... Soon.

Liu Bei shook his head, just like Zhuge Liang's sudden moment, Liu Bei also asked in surprise.

"How did he know in advance that Xiangfan's enemy general Cao Ren was about to be assassinated and fainted?"

The same question came out.

Liu Bei's face was filled with a little surprise.

Zhuge Liang smiled faintly, slowly closed his eyes, and slowly told his speculation.

"Those who can know in advance about Cao Ren's assassination, dare to assert the situation in Shuzhong, the crisis of Cao Cao's southern expedition does not exist in the first place, and between me, there is only one who sets up this situation."

"And listening to Wei Gong, because of this answer, the Guan family's father and son are almost tense, and they are red-faced, although Yun Chang is good for this son, from another point of view, Yun Qi is so insistent on his own opinion, how can there be no reason?"

Liu Bei showed great surprise, and he asked rhetorically: "What does Kong Ming mean is that the 'Huang Laoxi' who arranged to assassinate Cao Ren is Guan Linguan Yunqi, the fourth son of Yun Chang?" ”

In the end, Liu Bei's voice trembled.

He couldn't imagine the dilemma of letting Liu Bei, let Kong Ming, and make the entire Shu Zhong sleep, and finally... In the end, it was solved by fifteen-year-old Guan Yunqi.

"I'm just speculating."

When Zhuge Liang opened his eyes, there was only Ning He in his eyes, and he looked at Liu Bei calmly, his voice was steady but full of firmness.

"It's about Yun Chang's father and son, some things are not good for self-indulgence... Maybe the identity of 'Huang Laoxi', Yun Chang knows! It's just that for the sake of protection, he didn't make this identity clear. However, Wei Gong's trip to Jiangling seems to be quite rewarding, is Yunqi Huang Laoxi? If you want to find out the truth, perhaps from Wei Gong's words, you must be able to guess the truth or falsehood. ”

"Where is Yang Yi?" It was late at night now, but Liu Bei was in an unusual spirit, and he couldn't help but immediately send Yang Yi here to ask questions.

It was Zhuge Liang who interrupted: "Wei Gong came to Chengdu in the starry night, let him sleep well, if the lord is curious, I might as well send someone to get the other two answer sheets of Yunqi... My lord and I can also have a taste and have a sneak peek..."

Zhuge Liang said it casually.

Who would have thought that Liu Bei suddenly came to his senses, "You can know if it is a dragon or a worm!" I just don't know what Kong Ming's last two tests are? ”

"It's nothing more than a problem in Shuzhong today." Zhuge Liang said truthfully, "The second test is that many businessmen in Yizhou are hoarding and living strangely, and prices have skyrocketed... The third test is the initial determination of Yizhou, how to distribute the limited acres of land! ”

It's okay not to talk about this topic...

Speaking of which, Liu Bei was too interested.

Zhuge Liang felt Liu Bei secretly push him on the arm, and Zhuge Liang immediately reacted, "Wait a minute, lord, I'll send someone to fetch it!" ”

"Don't bother." Liu Bei proposed: "I can go back to the house with Kong Ming!" ”

Speaking of this, Liu Bei seemed to notice the sky, "Eh, I never thought that this night would be so deep." ”

The implication of these words.

- "Is it okay to have a candlestick night tour tonight?"

Zhuge Liang couldn't see Liu Bei's voice, and immediately smiled:

"It's okay, in the past, when I was in Longzhong, I could talk freely with the lord about the current situation in the world, from day to night, from night to day, I didn't know that I spent a night, and the feeling at that time was intoxicating!"

Listen to Zhuge Liang say this.

"Hahaha..."Liu Bei laughed, "It turns out that I'm not the only one who misses the joy of the grass house at that time... Coincidentally, tonight, taking advantage of Guan Yunqi's answer sheet, Kong Ming and I will talk on that couch all night, maybe tomorrow morning, the dilemma in Shuzhong will be solved..."

"—My lord, please."

"—Kong Ming, please."

…

…

In the middle of the night...

- "Gotta..."

The horse's hooves strode sharply, and the horse's nose rattled and snorted, and a white breath and a long neigh.

This was followed by the crisp sound of horses' hooves.

But I saw more than a dozen horses roaring at night, galloping over the road, raising dust in the sky, and in a moment turned into a group of black shadows that gradually disappeared at the end of the official road.

This is Liaohua's cavalry, and the cavalry also includes a fifteen-year-old boy, who is Langya boy Zhuge Ke.

They set out at noon, and now they are almost at the port.

Walking through this exhausting land route, the speed of the water route will also be much faster.

The so-called "a thousand miles of Jiangling in one day" in later generations is not an empty word.

Rather... Liaohua.

While riding a horse, he kept looking at Zhuge Ke who was galloping on his side...

It seems that this young boy who is newly named "his person" by Guan Sigongzi has eyes like electricity at the moment, full of energy, how can he look half tired.

Liao Hua couldn't help but exhale lightly.

He couldn't figure out what kind of courage this Langya boy named "Zhuge Ke" had in his-for-tat words with his father, and took over the task without hesitation.

You know, he's facing Guan Gong!

Guan Gong's anger, the fourth son can bear it, this Langya boy, can he bear it?

With this in mind...

Liao Hua's eyebrows are getting lower and lower, and it is inevitable... There are many worries about this Zhuge Ke.

Soon, however, the mood vanished without a trace.

"Drive-"

As Liao Hua whipped the horse's ass loudly, he struck it loudly.

The mount below it raised its head and let out a high-pitched hiss...

Then the whip was raised, and the speed of the gallop increased considerably, and a cloud of flying dust was stirred up behind him, accompanied by thunderous horses' hooves, and the cavalry galloped north, as usual!

Only Zhuge Ke's heart became more and more hot with the speed of galloping.

- "This is the first mission that the Cloud Banner Boy has assigned."

- "Be sure to persuade Guan Gong to give up attacking Xiangfan and attack the north of Jiangxia instead!"

Why is it that Guan Lin will deploy like this, and will predict that the attack on Xiangfan will be dead and lifeless, Zhuge Ke doesn't know!

But what he knew was that he had to get closer to the whole affair in order to get the answer!

…

…

The morning light is shining.

A huge map was placed in the big tent of the military camp of the Guan family's army, and Guan Yu and Zhou Cang, Guan Ping, Guan Yinping, Guan Xing, and Guan Suo gathered here.

There are a few red dots highlighted on the map.

A Jingjiang River divides Xiangyang and Fancheng, and circles are drawn on Xiangyang City and Fancheng.

Obviously, these two places are important strategic plans for the Guan Jiajun.

As for the north of Jiangxia.

-- "Pingchun", "Huangxian", "Xuanguo", "Xiyang", "Anlu", "Shiyang" are also marked on the six county seats.

This is the city that Cao Cao occupies north of Jiangxia.

This military meeting is very simple...

It is to discuss whether the direction of the next main attack is Xiangfan or the north of Jiangxia.

In the final analysis, Guan Yu's strength is not enough to divide the troops to fight.

Now under the great victory, the next strategy is bound to make certain trade-offs.

Taking Xiangfan means giving up Jiangxia;

Taking Jiangxia means giving up Xiangfan.

At this moment, Guan Ping took the lead in kneeling down on one knee and arched his hand: "Father, the child is willing to lead his troops and horses to attack Xiangyang and break Fancheng!" Take Wanluo directly! ”

Guan Xing also knelt on the ground and arched his hand, "Father, the child is willing to help the eldest brother." ”

It seems that Guan Ping and Guan Xing supported the attack on Xiangfan.

Guan Yinping and Guan Suo glanced at each other, and Guan Yinping said: "Father, my daughter is willing to attack Jiangxia for her father!" ”

Guan Suo arched his hand, "The child is also willing to take Jiangxia." ”

Guan Yu looked at a few enthusiastic sons, not only was not excited, but frowned at Yutu.

He asked, "Is there any movement in Cao Cao in Hanzhong?" ”

Zhou Cang replied: "So far, I have not received any news from Cao Cao to aid Xiangfan, and it is not ruled out that the news has not yet been transmitted, or Cao Cao's secret dispatch, but today I heard that Xu Ducheng of Si Li, Runan, Nanyang and other places in Yuzhou have frequently transferred troops. ”

"Therefore, the general will think that if Xiangfan is taken, in case it cannot be taken quickly, Cao Cao will come to the rescue, and the soldiers and horses of Sili, Yuzhou, and Nanyang will come to the rescue, then our army will be attacked from all sides."

"Moreover, how important Xiangfan is to Cao Cao, Cao Thief will not stand idly by, if he goes to attack Jiangxia, Wen Ping is dead, Jiangxia Dragons have no leader, even if Cao Cao returns from Hanzhong to help, before he arrives, the last general will also be sure to capture Jiangxia."

Guan Xing said: "General Zhou's words are wrong, Xiangfan is a fortress blocking Jingzhou, once it is captured, it will be Xu Du leaked under the front of my Guanjia army, and my Guanjia army can go north at any time to take Wan and Luo, and break through Xuchang!" ”

Guan Ping stretched out his hand to draw a line from the direction of Jiangling to Xudu and Luoyang, and from Chengdu to Chang'an, "Isn't that how the Zhuge Military Division Longzhong pair was designed?" Thirteen states in the world, Cao Cao occupies half of Kyushu, according to Zhuge Junshi's words, only by mastering the Son of Heaven, can he have the capital to compete with the Cao thief for the world, although Xiangfan is high and deep, but once it breaks through, Cao Cao's situation can no longer be controlled! ”

At that moment, the scout rushed into the tent and "reported—"

The scout knelt down, "Report to Guan Gong, Shangyong came to fly pigeons, yesterday... Cao Cao heard that the situation in Xiangfan was bad, and said, 'People are not satisfied, they have to get Long, and look back at Shuye', listening to his intentions, Cao Cao intends to withdraw from Hanzhong and rush to the aid of Xiangfan..."

Guan Yu sat down slowly, brushing his long hair. "This thief finally can't sit still, so... The situation on the eldest brother's side will be much calmer. Hehe, what a Xiangfan, Cao Thief also knows that today's Xiangfan is in danger! ”

Zhou Cang said: "It is true that there are no guards, but if Cao Cao rushes to Xiangfan from Shangyong, ten days is enough to arrive, and the support of Sili, Yuzhou, and Yanzhou can also arrive in five days, leaving Guan Gong to take Xiangfan. ”

At this moment, Guan Yu's eyes are deep...

He was also thinking about it.

In fact, normally, he would definitely choose to take Jiangxia, because Jiangxia is more stable.

Just as the concern of a large country lies in winning and exhaustion, the concern of a small country is to make meritorious contributions to survive.

In a disadvantageous situation, you can take a gamble and give it a go... If you don't keep it even, you win?

But the advantage of the situation should be stable!

This is the most basic military principle.

But...

During this time, Guan Yu read "The Art of War".

The book "The Left Biography of Spring and Autumn" that I read under the moonlight in the past was dusted, which was a change in Guan Lin's living habits.

One of these changes is one of them.

Guan Yu remembered what Yun Qi said, which can also be called the feeling of reading "The Art of War" - "The bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish!" ”

In the previous battle of Fuhu Mountain, he killed Wenpin, Niu Jin, and shot Man Chong and Lu Chang... Destroy more than 10,000 enemies.

These also bear out this statement.

- If the wind and waves are stronger, the fish will be more expensive than gold.

Now...

Guan Yu naturally subconsciously thought about this.

Jiangxia is indeed within reach, and it can capture the northern border of Jiangxia, and at most open up a second battlefield, threatening Nanyang, the economic center of Cao Wei and the important land of grain.

Can... If Xiangfan is captured, it will not be as simple as threatening the economic center of Cao Wei.

Guan Ping's sentence is good, there are thirteen states in the world, Cao Cao occupies half of Kyushu, and only when the Son of Heaven is in the hands of the eldest brother can he have the capital to compete with the Cao thief.

This is also the original intention and core element of Longzhong.

In the final analysis, Cao Cao served the Son of Heaven to order the princes... This is how we win the current situation.

To defeat him, this is still the way to go.

- Worship the Son of Heaven to fight against the rebels!

This is the way of the other, and the other is the way to give back to the other.

- "So..."

Thinking of this, Guan Yu groaned slightly.

- "Jiangxia corresponds to Nanyang, which is grain and grass; Xiangfan corresponds to Xu Du, the Son of Heaven, which wind and waves are big, which fish is expensive, this is not a choice at all!"

Thinking of this, Guan Yu said loudly: "-I have made up my mind, the Guan family army will attack Xiangfan with all its might!" ”

Guan Yu made a final statement...

It's just that this statement made Guan Yinping and Guan Suo's faces sink at the same time.

Guan Yinping thinks... It's too risky.

Guan Suo opened his mouth a few times, but... But he swallowed back all the words he wanted to say several times.

"Do you have anything to say?" Guan Yu saw Guan Suo's strange expression.

And because Guan Suo Pingsuri, Guan Lin and Guan Lin went closer, Guan Yu can be regarded as another kind of "love house and Wu", and deliberately asked Guan Suo.

Guan Suo pursed his lips, and he didn't dare to say anything.

Who would have thought that Guan Yu snorted: "If you have something to say, Guan's son, what does it look like?" ”

"I've heard a few stories from the fourth brother." Guan Suo finally spoke, "The fourth brother said, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, thought that he was born in a noble, a hero, and had a million soldiers, so how could he have put the ancestor who was born as a pavilion chief in his eyes?" But Gao Zu made good use of Zhang Liang, Han Xin, Xiao He and others to turn from weak to strong... Finally fought that battle, and before this battle, how could Xiang Yu have thought that he would be surrounded and chased by a steady stream of enemies? Who would have thought... Will he be embattled? ”

Speaking of...

Guan Suo always pestered the fourth brother Guan Lin to tell him stories.

Of course, the purpose of Guansuo is not pure.

He is thinking about listening to more stories, so that he can show off in front of the girls he likes, which will naturally make the girls think that he is very knowledgeable and easier to succeed.

This trick is applied to the "Bao San Girl" in Baojiazhuang, and it has been tried and tested.

Can... Now.

When he heard that his father was going to beat Xiangfan.

Guan Suo subconsciously thought of the battle that the fourth brother told him.

Guan Suo once asked the fourth brother Guan Lin.

"In the battle of Qixia, why did Xiang Yu lose to Gao Zu?"

Guan Lin asked Guan Suo to answer by himself.

Guan Suo said that Gaozu stabbed a knife in the back, and both sides agreed to withdraw from each other, but Xiang Yu's soldiers retreated, but Gaozu Liu Bang stabbed a knife from behind, which caught the overlord of Chu off guard.

And Guan Lin told him that it was not that simple.

is also a stab in the back, but what Liu Bang stabbed is completely different from what others stabbed.

The reason why Liu Bang dared to stab Xiang Yu in the back was to stab Xiang Yu.

is because Xiang Yu has become a loner at that time.

All the princes of the world have surrendered to Liu Bang.

Han Xin defeated Wei, Zhao, Qi, and Yan, and immediately took out Xiang Yu's old nest Pengcheng;

Yingbu, Liu Jia, and Lu Juan operated in the south and cut off Xiang Yu's back road;

There is also the guerrilla general Peng Yue, who wandered around the battlefield behind enemy lines and robbed Xiang Yu of a lot of food.

At this time, the encirclement has been completed, and only the most shameless person is needed to launch a general attack at the most opportune time.

On the contrary, the princes of the Eighteen Routes divided by Xiang Yu either surrendered or died in battle, and no one came to help.

He could only take his 100,000 horses and gallop for his life.

Fighting the whole world with his own strength, Xiang Yu is no matter how good he is, he will not be able to win.

At this moment, Guan Suo told Guan Lin what he told him, and told his father Guan Yu eloquently.

"Father... Don't you think that my father's current situation... Just like Xiang Yu during the battle? The child is not worried that his father will not be able to take Xiangfan, but what he is worried about is precisely after he takes it? Will Soochow still be our ally? Will Dongwu stab a knife in the back like Gaozu? Is Father prepared for this? ”

"No matter how powerful the father is, but the uncle and Zhuge Junshi can't rush to the aid after thousands of miles, and they can fight against the Cao army of the entire Xiangfan on their own, and they have to prevent Dongwu from stabbing in the back? Can the father withstand it? ”

In fact, Guan Lin has told Guan Suo the story of the alliance too many times.

Even, Guan Suo has been reversed.

And Guan Lin has spoken so many times, to a large extent... It was he who felt that the carelessness of his father Guan Yu in history was the same as the passivity that Xiang Yu fell into when he was in the alliance.

They are all embattled, they are all betrayed and separated...

Xiang Yu lost the help of the princes of the Eighteenth Route and became a loner;

How could Guan Yu have the slightest help from Mi Fang, Fu Shiren, Liu Feng, and Meng Da?

But if there is a little bit, it will not defeat Maicheng, and the martial saint will return to heaven.

In fact, what Guan Suo said is very reasonable.

It's just that these words touched Guan Yu's sensitive nerves.

- "Another Guan Yunqi? Another rebel who has no smug of his mouth?'

In Guan Yu's opinion, a "rebel" Guan Lin with no taboos is enough for him Guan Yu to eat a pot, and now there is another Guan Weizhi... This is to anger him Guan Yu!

Immediately...

Guan Yu said coldly: "Bewitch the army's heart, go out and get thirty military sticks yourself!" ”

Yes...

Guan Suo was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Father... Father can't go his own way! ”

Guan Yu's tone was cold: "My Guan family's army is prosperous, and it is easy to take Xiang Fan, how can it be like the overlord of Chu who is being chased by someone in panic like a lost dog!" If you talk nonsense again, military law will deal with it! ”

"I know the fourth brother, if he is here, he will definitely stop my father, and he will definitely say... will say..."Guan Suo is also on the head," he will definitely say that when Cao Cao sang about wine and life on the Red Cliff Battlefield, he also... It must be as proud and inflated as my father is now! ”

"—Forty sticks!" Guan Yu's tone became even colder. "Guan never thought that the Chu overlord was powerful!"

"The fourth brother also said..."Guan Suo seems to be unable to stop until he finishes his words, and no matter how many military sticks he has, he will finish speaking, "The fourth brother said, it depends on who the opponent is, there may be many people who can win Xiang Yu, and how many people may win Cao Cao?" I'm afraid that even Gaozu Liu Bang is not that Cao Cao's opponent! ”

"—Fifty Sticks!" Guan Yu's tone was as cold as ever.

"Father! begged his father to spare his fifth brother. Guan Ping, Guan Xing, and Guan Yinping persuaded in unison.

"Ten sticks per man." Guan Yu opened his mouth angrily, and immediately walked towards the tent door, and when he opened the curtain, he paused in his steps.

Finally, for some reason, I was relieved.

As for the reason...

Nothing else, none other than the Cloud Banner!

- "The big war is imminent, you wait for the military sticks to be temporarily suppressed, and after you have to capture Xiangfan, you will go to settle the score!" ”

Speaking of this, Guan Yu commanded sharply.

"——Pass my military order, rest for a day, cook food at three watches in the morning after tomorrow, and storm Xiangyang City on the fifth watch!"

…

In this compartment, Guan Yu gave the final order.

Over there.

In the city of Xiangyang, in a secret room.

It was late at night, and now the last backbone of Xiangyang City, "Zhao Yan", was led to a mysterious place by a "special letter".

It's a secret room.

Zhao Yan approached... But I saw one of them wearing a cloak and a hood... The body is very strong, and it looks majestic and majestic.

"How can Your Excellency have a letter from Prime Minister Cao?"

"Before the conquest of Hanzhong, the prime minister handed me the letter."

A deep and heavy voice came slowly, obviously, with a Shanxi accent.

And with the sound of this coming out

The hooded man turned slowly, and he removed his cloak and hood, revealing his mysterious cheeks.

It was at this moment...

Zhao Yan's pupils widened for a moment, as if he was surprised.

But under this surprise, two words came out of nowhere.

- "Steady!"

Zhao Yan hurriedly asked, "How... It's you? ”

The voice of the person who came was as low and thick as ever, "Xiangfan is such a strategic place, how can Prime Minister Cao Cheng not have a prepared plan?" ”

"Hehe, Yun Chang is arrogant, now wait for him to fall into the net!"

The same sentence.

If it were someone else's voice, it would never make people feel so reassured.

But if it's him, it's the one in front of you.

That... Zhao Yan can simply stuff all a hundred "rest assured" into his stomach!

- Steady!

- Xiangfan, it's really stable!

…
