Yu Ban took a team of light horses to the north gate of Anlu City, looking at the place where Guan Lin made an appointment with him in front of him.

Dong Heng and Dong Chao looked around cautiously, for fear that there would be some ambush here.

Yu Ban looked calm and relaxed, looked up at the peaks on both sides in the distance, and this plain land, and said in his mouth: "What does this Guan Lin think? Such a place of battle, with no terrain shelter or jungle ambush, facing each other head-on? Did he think he was Guan Yu? ”

Indeed, as forbidden to say...

Such a terrain battle, the test is the combat ability of the legion, is the combat power of Chiguoguo, if it is Guan Yu, maybe Yu Ban will be a little jealous, but Guan Lin...

Hehe, which green onion is he? Is it also worthy of fighting with him in the forbidden front?

Dong Heng also looked around and said with emotion: "Yes, the surrounding mountains are too far away, there is no jungle, and there is no deep ravine, there will be no lurk... This battle is self-defeating. ”

Dong Chao also chimed in: "General Yu, this appointment can be accepted!" ”

"Hehe..." Yu Ban smiled, he squinted his eyes and looked at An Lucheng in front of him, and sighed in his heart: "Could it be that I overestimated this fourth prince of Guan?" He is not Gan Luo, who worships the prime minister at the age of twelve, but Zhao Kuo, who talks about war on paper in Zhao State! ”

Speaking of this, Yu Ban's laughter became more and more refreshing.

"This appointment, Ben Shuai took it-"

Dong Heng said excitedly: "This kid? He couldn't have released a dumb arrow, would he? ”

Dong Chao said faintly: "I hope he is not a turtle with a shrunken head!" ”

…

…

Jiangxia, Hengshan Barracks.

Zhu Ling was sharpening his sword, his son Zhu Shushen was mysterious, and he came in very carefully, Zhu Ling asked curiously: "What?" Look at you like this, have you made progress? ”

Zhu Shu said with a smile: "Dad, then Guan Lin finally took the bait, he accepted his father's invitation to surrender, and asked his father to go to Anlu City with the Wei army's grain hoarding and defense map to discuss major matters, and also ask Guan Yu and Liu Bei for his father to ask for a 'general'?" ”

"Good!" Zhu Ling excitedly punched Zhu Shu's body and laughed, "Good boy! It's not boasting about the father, the tiger father has no dog son! Daddy didn't teach you in vain! ”

"It's just Dad..."Zhu Shu asked suspiciously: "Does Dad really want to hand over the grain hoarding and defense map to that Guan Lin?" Or hand in a fake letter! ”

"It has to be true." Zhu Ling said with a smile: "This Guan Lin is not an ordinary person, he may not be good at commanding troops, but he can figure out people's hearts, but the ghost trick is a must!" If you want to deceive him with a fake picture, that's all the difficulty! ”

"But if it's true... Isn't that..."

Without waiting for Zhu Shu to finish speaking, Zhu Ling's tone showed a little more of his father's earnest teaching, "Wu'er, my father will teach you again today, only the generals who talk about the army on paper will be obsessed with the 'deployment map', the way of using the army, the changes are ever-changing, the deployment is always dead, but people are alive, he Guan Lin thought that a mere defense map could burn the Hengshan granary, this is the child's opinion!" ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Ling's tone added a little excitement and arrogance, "Wu'er, if you win this battle, the merits you and your father have made this time may be comparable to Zhou Yu and Huang Gai of the former Eastern Wu!" ”

This...

Speaking of this, Zhu Shu suddenly remembered something again, and while sharpening his sword for his father, he reminded: "Dad, there is another thing, that Guan Lin actually asked General Yu for war. ”

"Appointment?" Zhu Ling was stunned.

So, Zhu Shu made an appointment with Guan Lin to fight and fight outside Anlu City when he was forbidden in the future;

After the general made a special survey of the terrain, he agreed to the battle.

There is also the fact that Jiang Ban has mobilized 20,000 soldiers and horses, led by Dong Heng and Dong Chao to meet the battle, and he will tell it eloquently. ”

Not...

Zhu Ling pondered for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "What about General Yu Ban?" ”

Zhu Shu explained: "General Yu Ban has always been cautious, even if there is an ambush in the north of Anlu City, General Yu Ban still decided to sit in the Chinese army to prevent the enemy from taking the opportunity to surprise attack our army's camp, grain and grass..."

"It's worthy of General Yu..."Hearing Yu Ban's deployment, Zhu Ling couldn't help but sigh: "Others only saw General Yu divided into two battalions as horns for each other, but they didn't know that Guan Lin and Guan Ping were also horns for each other. It is contrary to common sense to have fewer enemies and more enemies, but dare to fight like this, and it is understandable that General Yu will save some strength, sit in the Chinese army, and coordinate the scheduling... Rather..."

"What is it?" Zhu Shu hurriedly asked.

Every word of his father Zhu Ling, he can learn countless truths from it, which has benefited him a lot.

Zhu Ling paused: "In fact, the results of this battle are nothing more than three, the first is that the two Dong generals won a big victory, taking advantage of the situation to capture the enemy city, this is the most difficult and the least likely, and the second is a small victory for the two Dong generals, which frustrated the enemy's morale and made him Guan Lin realize what kind of powerful opponent he was facing?" The third is that the two Dong generals were defeated and were beaten out of momentum by this Guan Lin... However, whether it is the second or the third, the father's surrender will become more valuable! Odd goods can live! ”

Zhu Ling said a lot, and Zhu Shu couldn't fully understand it for a while.

He chirped and asked, "Father?" Why is that? Why does my father become a strange commodity for small victories and small defeats? ”

"Because young people will be vigorous, if there is a small victory, they want a big victory, and if there is a small defeat, then Guan Lin wants to turn the tables even more, and the food hoarding and defense map brought by his father is the key to this big victory and this turnaround..."

Speaking of this, Zhu Ling paused for a moment, and then continued to sigh: "Your father is also Guan Lin's age, it is difficult to have young people, who can not be carried away by victory, and can not try to turn the tables against the wind when they are defeated, and this kind of mentality often leaks out all the weaknesses, hehe, people!" You have to have a process of growing up, your father is like this, and so is he Guan Lin, Shu'er, you need to keep this in mind! ”

Another earnest teaching.

Zhu Shu arched his hand: "The child has been taught-"

Zhu Ling slowly got up and walked to the door of the military tent, his eyes raised, and he looked in the direction of Na'an Lu City from afar.

His heart was shocked again:

- "Tomorrow's fighting array, hehe, finally, the real game of this southern expedition is about to begin!"

…

…

Luoyang City.

For three days, Cao Pi and Li Li, Liu Zhen, Wu Zhen and others visited here.

In the end, they returned to the remnants of the once famous imperial palace, the "North and South Palaces".

Cao Piyou recalled...

Once, the north and south palaces were connected to the sky, the towering Deyang Palace, the majestic Canglong, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Xuanwu four gates connected by the two palaces, the Xiyuan where the emperor raised dogs, and the swimming resort Wangshuhe where the emperor let the women in the palace be in it... There is also the rooster hall, the arsenal, and the commercial street opened by the emperor!

Because Cao Song once served as the Great Honglu, everything in the palace was like a treasure, and he would tell Cao Pi as an interesting matter.

In the past, Cao Pi was very curious, especially Wangshuhe, who was full of fruit beauties, she wanted to go to them to see it as soon as possible, and she had no other ideas, she just wanted to take a look.

But once, it was his identity and status that kept him out of the palace gate;

Now, it is a fire that clearly distinguishes the prosperity of the past from the decay of the present.

"The fire of Dong Zhuo and Li Ru really burned down here!"

Cao Pi's faint emotion.

The group walked slowly through the palace.

The magnificent palaces of the past are now majestic and dilapidated, with weeds growing and rabbits running in the palace, and foxes chasing rabbits...

The troops brought by Cao Pi are busy transporting food and materials into the palace.

A soldier pounced, pounced on a rabbit, his companion laughed, not far away, a few beggars leaned against the palace wall to bask in the sun, and a soldier went to catch them, "Get up, get up, Luoyang is going to be rebuilt, and this will be the palace of Duke Wei in the future, all go out!" ”

A beggar muttered, "What is Duke Wei?" The Son of Heaven is gone? Where else is there a male? ”

Listen to these words of ignorance...

Seeing this depressed scene, Liu Zhen sighed with emotion: "If Luoyang is so rebuilt, I'm afraid it will not be easy!" ”

Li Cong looked up at the palace, but sighed lightly: "Luoyang is in the world, there is a story that is too old, no matter which dynasty it is, it will be here in the end..."

Wu Zhen followed Li Cong's words, "But the prime minister has a problem for Zihuan, now that the war is tight, many resources have to be supplied to the front line, this Luoyang City?" How to fix it? Small fights, or big fanfare, and this palace, which is the palace of the Duke of Wei, that... What should be done more magnificently? Or is it more low-key? ”

Wu Zhen's question caused Cao Pi to stop, and he turned to look at Li Pi, "What does Mr. Li think?" How to solve this problem of Ji Zhong (Wu Qian)? How to repair Luoyang? ”

This...

Li Mian paused slightly, and then opened his mouth: "Zihuan knows clearly, why did Prime Minister Cao ask you to build Luoyang at this time?" ”

"Why?"

"Because of Prime Minister Cao Cheng..." Speaking of this, Li Cheng wanted to speak and stopped, as if it was because Liu Zhen and Wu Zhen were there, and his next words were a little worried.

Wu Zhen and Liu Zhen understood, and hurriedly went to the side under the pretext.

Cao Pi stretched out his hand and motioned to Li Cong, "Mr. Li, can you say it now?" ”

"The prime minister has two considerations, one is that the current battle situation on the front line of Xiangfan, Nanyang, and Shouchun is not optimistic. The prime minister has already prepared in advance, in case this line is lost, then Guan Yu's troops will go north, directly pointing to Xu Du, Xu Du is too close to Fancheng, if the Son of Heaven and Guan Yu collude inside and outside, then the Great Wei is in danger! ”

"And the reason for all this is because the Son of Heaven is in Xudu, and Xudu has become Guan Yu's pawn to contain Prime Minister Cao, once the battle situation is unfavorable, it will fall into an embarrassing situation where he will neither dare to give up nor be able to defend, so the Prime Minister is considering moving the Son of Heaven elsewhere!"

This...

Li Pi's words made Cao Pi feel empowered, but he was puzzled again, "Then why can't it be Yecheng?" Wouldn't it be much easier to move the capital to Yecheng than to rebuild Luoyang? ”

"Because Yecheng is the royal capital of Wei, Cao Cheng set the royal capital in Yecheng for many years, just to get rid of the constraints of the Han court, if the Son of Heaven is moved to Yecheng, then where does Cao Cheng live? Moreover... There is a second article, Yecheng is located in the northeast, is a fertile place to defend the war, but not a place to unify the king, Prime Minister Cao Cheng can raise troops here, but can not govern the country with this, now Prime Minister Cao Cheng is dying, he is no longer thinking about the gains and losses of a city and a place, but how to level the world, how to overcome the unification! How to make Cao Wei reasonably hollow out the Han room... And even create an opportunity to take that last step! ”

The more Li said it, the more serious his tone became...

The scene in front of him, the words in his mouth, he had rehearsed with Guan Lin countless times.

Guan Lin is determined, according to the plan... Sooner or later, he will get to this point.

And this step is a crucial step for Shu Han!

Li Cong's words continued, "For thousands of years, there have been two capitals in China, Chang'an in the west, Luoyang in the east, Luoyang is in the middle, rivers and mountains are arched, and the foundation of the Han Dynasty for two hundred years, the king is prosperous, if Luoyang is rebuilt, Prime Minister Cao Cheng can move the royal capital back to Luoyang at any time, the south can deter Sun Quan in the southeast, and the west can defend Liu Bei in the southwest. Wouldn't it be a pity if the prime minister abandoned such a dream place for Sun Liu? ”

This...

Listening to Li Lian's words, Cao Pi looked at the devastated Luoyang and was silent for a while.

For a long time, for a long time...

Cao Picai opened his mouth and asked, "What about Mr. Li?" What should I do? ”

"This is the future Wei capital... This is the retreat left by the prime minister, since he should build a large number of buildings, recruit people, and build this Luoyang city more prosperous and stronger than in the past... In addition..."Li Cong's eyes narrowed in an instant, "Xia Guan has another word, he must ask Zihuan Gongzi a question before he can say it." ”

"What's the problem?" Cao Pi hurriedly said.

Li Cheng's words were solemn, "If one day, Prime Minister Cao Cheng will become the queen and pass on the great cause to Zijian Gongzi when he is confused?" Then Zihuan, are you going to accept your fate? Or do you want to give it a go? This is what you Cao Zihuan must consider before building Luoyang City! ”

This...

Suddenly, the conversation was racing!

Cao Pi's pupils also widened in an instant, almost bursting out...

If, if there is such a day?

He... What will he do?

Give it a go? Break with Zijian... Fight to the death;

It's better to let it go, at least Zijian's generosity and kindness can make him worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life!

…

…

Jiangxia, Anlu City.

It was the sixth day of sunny weather in a row since the last snow had passed.

Hot and cold weather is the most likely to cause various ailments in the throat.

At this moment, the sun shines through one or two thin clouds floating in the sky, and the wind rustles the dead leaves that drift in.

The withered yellow leaves floated down from the distant mountains, and the bare branches floated down, and the only gray-black branches exposed on the mountains were beautiful, and from an aesthetic point of view, there were only a few white snow embellishments...

Outside Anlu City, the soldiers and horses led by Liao Hua and Dong Heng and Dong Chao looked at each other from afar on the boundless plain outside the city.

Liao Huajun is in the west, Dong Heng and Dong Chaojun are in the east, and the two armies are displayed and neatly dressed.

Liao Hua's department had nearly 8,000 soldiers, of which 2,000 were cavalry, and Dong Chao and Dong Heng led 20,000 soldiers, all of whom were infantry.

The sun gradually climbed higher, the clouds slowly flowed through the sky, and tens of thousands of troops were about to explode.

The horn sounded, Liao Hua rode slowly on his horse, and they could finally see each other...

Dong Heng and Dong Chao stared at Liao Hua's sharp eagle eyes, looking at the face, the eagle eyes were sharp and good at intentions.

In addition, Liao Hua's chin is upturned, which is obviously prominent, his face is narrow and long, and his figure is also slender.

Such a look... More of a warlock than a general.

Only Liao Hua's full court is unforgettable.

"Who's coming?" Dong Chao lifted the spear and asked Liao Hua. "General Ben's subordinates don't kill the nameless ghost—"

Liao Hua reported to his home, "A native of Xiangyang, Jingzhou, the governor of Jiangxia - Liao Hua, the word Yuanjian!" ”

Generally, generals report their own homes, but they don't report in such detail... Often, even a harsh sentence or two will be put back.

From this point of view, Liao Hua's voice is a little elegant.

Really...

"Hahahaha-"

When Liao Hua's words came out, Dong Heng and Dong Chao laughed for a while, feeling that there was a weak chicken, and they didn't understand the rules on the battlefield, such generals... Even if there are ten, what is there to fear?

The guard on his side reported: "Liao Hua was originally the main man under Guan Yu, and was recruited by Guan Shilang Guan Lin as the commander of Jiangxia, and he has never had a record before... It's a new general! ”

"Hahahaha..."

Dong Heng and Dong Chao laughed louder...

Dong Chao pointed his gun at Liao Hua and mocked: "General Ben gives you some time to think about it, General Ben can spare you death, and quickly go back to be an honest teacher in the private school, so as not to have no eyes on the battlefield... Gave his life in vain! Hahahaha..."

The mocking laughter couldn't stop resounding in Cao Jun.

In the face of the enemy's provocation, the deputy general next to Liao Hua's body couldn't sit still and was eager to try.

Liao Hua is happy and angry...

He even instructed his soldiers to "take care of their soldiers, let them not get excited, and follow the fighting style of the past few days!" If there is a disobedient, military law will deal with it! ”

"Whew-"

The adjutant general agreed...

It's just that the adjutant general promised ... But can the soldiers not be excited?

Their daughters-in-law have been re-recruited and given to other military households, and now they can't keep anyone under them... That picture, thinking about it is a burst of anger!

Under the hatred of snatching his wife like this, the 8,000 soldiers behind Liao Hua's body had already sharpened their knives, and their blood was boiling, and their back molars were gurgling.

They can't cut Cao Cao, but the Cao army in front of them... It is tantamount to bearing this monstrous wrath for their "master"!

"Don't get excited, follow the drill, otherwise... If you lose the battle and your life is gone, what will you do to take back your wife? So what to kill that Cao thief! ”

A cadre of lieutenant generals continued to calm the emotions of the soldiers who were about to explode.

…

On Anlu City, Guan Lin, Zhuge Ke, Zhang Xingcai, Shiwu, Lu Su, and Luo Tong are all in... They looked down at the city, at the battle that was ready to break out on both sides.

Guan Lin's eyes looked at the sky from time to time, as if he was counting the hours...

Zhuge Ke hurriedly reminded.

"A quarter of an hour to go." As he spoke, he also looked up at the sky slightly, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "This ghost weather is so strange, I have only heard of Luoyang before, in the hot summer, the hail is as big as a chicken, but I never thought that the sun after the snow in Jiangxia can become so vicious..."

Guan Lin smiled and sighed: "After the great drought, there will be a great flood, and after the great flood, there will be a great epidemic, the weather actually has some rules, just like the battle of Chibi, the Sun and Liu coalition army knew that the southwest wind has always hung on the river, but every year... There will be a short period of time when this southwest wind will turn to a southeast wind... It can even be judged in advance by some omen. ”

"Of course, in recent years, natural disasters have continued, and some strange weather has also occurred from time to time.

Guan Lin and Zhuge Ke were chatting.

Zhang Xingcai was about to die, she pointed at Na Liaohua, and said anxiously: "Are you still in the mood to chat?" Look at that Liao Duwei too? He looks like he's leading troops into battle... It's clearly a Confucian student... Now it's a scolding that doesn't fight back, and I'm afraid I won't be able to fight back later, so I'll just say... He has been in charge before, how can he lead a good soldier? It's time for me to lead the troops! ”

Shiwu also proposed: "Yunqi Gongzi, why don't you let the last general replace Liao Duwei"

Zhang Xingcai spoke mercilessly, Shiwu was much more euphemistic, and the meaning was the same, this Liao Hua general... It's unreliable!

There is no domineering that a general should have!

Zhang Xingcai couldn't stop muttering, "If the master is thin, he should be the master, it's not that being a civil official is better than being a general, why do you have to... Do you have to slap a swollen face and become fat? ”

Facing Zhang Xingcai and Shiwu's doubts, Guan Lin smiled, "My father was also a caretaker back then, by the way, he also sold mung beans, didn't my uncle also have a story of weaving mats and selling shoes?" Sister Xingcai... Your dad also used to slaughter pigs and dogs? But then, who would have thought that now... The three Taoyuan brothers, one by one, are also human-like dogs! ”

Belch... Putting on airs!

Guan Lin's words made everyone stunned.

Thanks to Guan Yu's absence, thanks to Zhang Fei and Liu Bei's absence...

Otherwise, this remark is enough to pierce the heart!

On the contrary, Lu Su stroked his beard while calculating the number of enemy troops, "This Yu Ban only sent 20,000 people, and he didn't even personally command the troops, it seems that he still has concerns!" ”

"It's right to have concerns." Guan Lin smiled, "After all, Cao Wei has died so many people in the past few months, and Yu Ban is a cautious and well-guarded general, this battle... We are fighting seriously, and he can at most test our hypocrisy... So, the advantage is mine! ”

Lu Su's tone was quiet..."Even if it's a temptation, the strength is still twice as strong as yours in Yunqi... Not to be underestimated..."

"Double..."Guan Lin smiled, "Double, it's not enough for this group of Jiangxia tribes to vent their anger!" ”

Thinking of this, Guan Lin raised his head again, and the more and more vicious sunshine made Guan Lin already a little shaken, and he couldn't open his eyes...

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

- "Today's sun is earlier and more spicy than yesterday's! God help me!'

With this in mind...

"Obsessed, then grandpa, I'll send you on your way-"

The voice of the enemy general Dong Heng resounded...

This was followed by the sound of Cao Jun's horn blowing again, this time the horn of the attack...

At the same time, there was more drumming and shouting behind the military formation.

Dong Chao also commanded the soldiers:

"Brothers, kill with me—"

Under the orders of Dong Heng and Dong Zhao, the footsteps of "stampeding" became louder and louder, and gradually turned into a "rumbling" sound...

The 20,000 Runan army rushed towards Liaohua's 8,000 soldiers like a tiger fighting a wolf.

On the contrary, Liao Hua is still calm, and the entire Jiangxia army is not moving!

Finally...

When Cao's army rushed more than halfway.

In the atmosphere of intolerance, Guan Lin on the city tower whispered in his heart:

- "The time has come!"

- "Death, it's time to collect people!"

Really...

Just when this is imminent...

In the midst of thousands of calls, Liao Hua finally showed the military flag.

In an instant, the eight thousand Jiangxia Legions, who were eager to try and sharpen their swords, they seemed to be well-trained, and they began to act.
