Chapter 329: Could it be that this is the plan of the general and the fourth prince?
For several days, Guan Yu had been lying quietly in the big tent of the barracks, no matter who came here, his breathing was as weak as ever, as if he was unconscious, and there was no sign of awakening.
It seems that everything in heaven and earth is completely cut off from him, Guan Yu, he is an individual independent of all things, just lying there quietly, like a god of war who is sleeping and is about to sleep forever...
No one knows if this god of war will wake up one day!
At this moment, it was noon, Guan Yu, who was the only one lying in the military tent, and Zhou Cang, who was sitting beside him, guarding him, and holding a thick book.
The book in Zhou Cang's hand is "The Biography of the Zuo Family in the Spring and Autumn Period", which is Guan Yu's favorite book to read, and even... Guan Yu also often told Zhou Cang to let him read in his spare time and appreciate the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period.
Now, the sentences in "The Biography of the Zuo Family in the Spring and Autumn Period" are coming out of Zhou Cang's mouth, as if he wants to use these to wake up the "sleeping" Guan Yu.
"Good can't be lost, evil can't be long, it's Chen Huan Gong's meaning. Evil is not bad, from self and also... The second general often taught the last general, saying that this is to say... People can't lose goodness, and they can't breed sin, it's that Chen Huangong, who breeds sin and doesn't know how to repent, so he brings disaster upon himself! β
Speaking of this, Zhou Cang glanced at Guan Yu deeply.
As if looking forward to waking up after hearing this... It's just that the ending is doomed, and he can only lower his head again in loneliness and continue to read.
"Yan An's poison is not to be conceived... This is the most common sentence chanted by the second general, leisure and pleasure are as harmful as poisonous wine, so people... There must be no lust for pleasure! β
"And this 'husband war, courage also. One blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion. The second general knows this very well, so our Guan family army has only one drum when attacking the city and plundering the land! This is because, under one drum, Guan Jiajun's courage will never be exhausted... But..."
It seems that it is because of the mention of "one drum, then decline, three and exhaustion", and the "courage" of Guan Jiajun...
Zhou Cang inevitably had some emotions in his heart... Some are dazed, some are hesitant!
He couldn't help but put down "The Biography of the Zuo Family in the Spring and Autumn Period", and his tone was expectant, "It is said that Guan Jiajun's courage cannot be exhausted, but... But today's Guan Jiajun, where does he still have the courage of the past? β
At this moment, Zhou Cang, who was iron-clad, couldn't help but wipe his eyes with his sleeves and wipe away the condensed line of worried tears, and he continued...
"The second general has only fainted for a few days, but the sergeants of the Guan family army are like wilted turnips, where is there still half a fighting spirit? Early this morning, I saw Wang Fu... I asked him why he didn't train as usual. Wang Fu said, the brothers' minds are on the second general? How else do you train... Can... But..."
Zhou Cang couldn't help but wipe his tears with his sleeve again, "This training is like this, if you don't practice for a month, you know, if you don't practice for half a year, the opponent will know, but if you don't practice for a year, no one in the Guan family army will be able to beat it, the second general... You, you said that you would hand over the Guan family army to the fourth son, but the fourth prince is no matter how meritorious he is, no matter how resourceful he is, but he... He can't replace you... Your brothers are thinking of you! The brethren are looking forward to... You... You're awake..."
Zhou Cang's sincere words, with tears, continued to enter Guan Yu's ears and his heart.
Guan Yu was sober, and he heard all these words really and was extremely moved.
Guan Jiajun can't let go of him, how can he let go of Guan Jiajun?
Even, he couldn't help it, tears welled up in his eyes.
But he still forcibly held back... He knew that now was really a critical time, and he had to convince Cao Ren and Xu Huang that he Guan Yu had really fainted.
Of course, this belief... It's not easy!
are all old opponents, Guan Yu understands Cao Ren, just as Cao Ren understands Guan Yu, wants to make Cao Ren careless, wants Cao Ren to really believe him Guan Yu faints... It's not an easy thing to do.
The most uncomfortable thing is that he Guan Yu can't do anything except lie here and pretend to be dead and faint...
Everything is handed over to Yunqi, this is the real test of Yunqi!
After this pass of the test, he is really qualified to lead this Guan family army!
That's when ...
Zhou Cang's words continued, "Today, Madame has sent meat... It is to cut mutton, dog meat, chicken, and fish into large pieces, skewer them on a boiler (qian), and set up a burnt oven to roast... Mrs. said that the second general practiced martial arts every day, sweating profusely, and couldn't do without minced meat... Let me see if these four kinds of meat skewers can wake up the second general, the second general... You... Just open your eyes and try this barbecue! β
While speaking, these skewers made of four kinds of barbecued meat were handed to Guan Yu by Zhou Cang's hand, and Guan Yu actually wanted to eat it... He couldn't wait to open his mouth directly, and even the dripping oil stains made him excited.
He still couldn't help it, if he really took a bite, what was it? Isn't it leaking?
I can't stand it... The taste of this meat is too gluttonous, and this time... His food is all rice porridge poured into his throat, and the taste is not pleasant.
"Ugh..."
Looking at Guan Yu's paralyzed face as always, Zhou Cang reluctantly withdrew the barbecue, and he sighed: "Second general, second general, you don't eat meat, and you don't read "Spring and Autumn" either... If you don't wake up again, then... That's not even, the fourth prince really wants to let the doctor scrape your bones to cure the poison! β
"A few days ago, a female doctor came, saying that she was Hua Tuo's disciple, and said that she could scrape the bones of the second general to cure the poison, and scrape off the poison on the arm of the second general... Can... But Mrs. Hu directly refused when she heard it, she... She's afraid that the second general won't be able to bear it! But the last general knows that Ma Liangjun will definitely take the female doctor to find the fourth son, if... If it's the fourth son, he... Will he say yes? Yes... Will you bet on this? β
From Zhou Cang's tone, he could feel that he wanted Guan Yu to try "scraping bones to cure poison", although it sounded terrifying, it was better than doing nothing and waiting to be killed!
At the same time, he was deeply worried, could Guan Yu, who was now extremely weak, bear this intense pain? Will he really not be able to withstand it in one breath, no longer fainting, but really dead!
It is precisely because of this that today's Zhou Cang is extremely melancholy, and his heart is like a knife...
He couldn't bear to look at Guan Yu's cheek, he turned around and stood up... Looking at the sun, the hour has come... It's time to go outside and pick up your medicine!
Although Guan Yu fainted, according to Guan Lin's instructions, the daily "Chen Mustard Stew" and "Allicin" must be taken and applied on time, Zhou Cang has never missed this, he is the one who believes in miracles!
Who would have thought, at this moment... Just when Zhou Cang turned around and was about to go out.
Suddenly... He felt something grab him in the arm.
Speaking of which, his arms are extremely thick, and they are always powerful, and it is difficult to be held by anything.
But this time, his arm was choked and he couldn't use any strength.
This...
Zhou Cang turned around in shock, only to find that it was a palm that grabbed his arm, and the arm connected to the palm was... It is Guan Gong's right arm.
At this moment, Zhou Cang looked down in amazement, he saw Guan Yu on the bed with his eyes open, a pair of Danfeng eyes open and closed, and he was looking at him with a bright eye...
Subconsciously, Zhou Cang was so frightened that he trembled,
He opened his mouth, wanting to scream, but Guan Yu's voice rushed ahead of him, "Don't speak, don't make a noise-"
This...
Only these "six words" are enough for Zhou Cang to go through a swift brain circuit.
Zhou Cangyou looked back at Guan Yu in shock, but he realized... Realizing a fact that shocked him so much that he couldn't breathe.
Guan Gong he... He's awake!
Guan Gong he... He didn't faint, he didn't breathe, and his expression and tone now proved... He didn't just wake up, he was already awake.
On the other hand, Guan Yu planned to continue to hide it, and even the nearest Zhou Cang beside him continued to hide it as always.
Can... When he heard about this "scraping bones to cure poison", he had a brand new idea.
He has been thinking about how to make Cao Ren, Xu Huang, and Pang De believe that he Guan Yu really fainted;
He has been thinking about what method he can use to help Cloud Banner, make the enemy careless, and make his plan go more smoothly.
Finally...
When he heard the words "scraping bones to cure poison", Guan Yu realized that the opportunity had come.
If he can endure the pain of "scraping bones to cure poison", and he can still keep silent when scraping bones, then... His fainting is enough to hide it from everyone, not only Cao Jun, but even friendly troops can hide it all!
Cao Ren and Xu Huang must have believed that he Guan Yu really fainted, and even really "died"!
That's why...
Guan Yu's arm stretched out and firmly grasped Zhou Cang's sake.
"The second general..."
Without waiting for Zhou Cang to chant the word "army" of "Second General", Guan Yu's voice came out again, as thin as ever, "You personally tell Yunqi and let him agree to this... This scraping bones heals poison! β
Yes...
Zhou Cang was even more stunned now, he felt that he couldn't breathe.
But faintly, he seemed to understand something...
- "Could it be, from the very beginning, that it was... Is that the plan of the second general and the fourth prince?"
- "So..."
- "When did the second general wake up?"
Although there were still infinite doubts in his heart, Guan Yu had already ordered, Zhou Cang didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly turned around...
"Wait..."
Guan Yu's slight voice came out again, "Don't make a noise about this, I'm still fainting, and you don't know anything!" β
"Understood... Understand! Zhou Cang hurriedly replied.
Then, Guan Yu glanced at the "barbecue" composed of four kinds of minced meat, and then he ordered softly, "Don't send this kind of thing in the future!" β
Oh, yes...
He's pretending to be dizzy.
It smells good, but he can't eat it at all, he just smells... It's not itchy enough!
When this matter is over, Guan Yu pondered, he would definitely be able to gnaw a sheep!

On the tower of Fancheng City, a cold wind blew, and several defenders shivered from the cold.
They shouldn't have been on duty today, but because Cao Ren specially strengthened the garrison... Therefore, the number of soldiers on garrison and patrol has more than doubled, and they can be seen anytime, anywhere.
Naturally, the soldiers' rest time was repeatedly squeezed...
In this way, although the soldiers of Cao Jun did not say anything, they could do a lot of work, and their income did not rise, and they inevitably complained in their hearts.
One of them said: "The general went to Xiangyang City and Pang De's army village to inspect today, he is gone, but we still have to stand in this cold wind, cold!" β
The one next to him said: "Yes, according to me, Guan Yu's poisoned arrows are all faint, at this time, what are you afraid of?" While the general is going to inspect, let's be lazy, I have a sister I know, why don't we go to her house and have fun together? β
"Okay... Is that sister handsome? There are so many of us, she's terrified! β
"No, she still likes this!"
Just as a group of defenders were playing a "meat joke", the voice of a veteran interrupted their conversation.
"The general is gone, but the military order is not gone, and General Zhao Yan is still there... The general said, the more the news of Guan Yu's fainting comes, the more dangerous it is, let us cheer up, at this time, if something happens, how many heads can you handle? β
This uninteresting sentence came out...
At that time, all the discussion stopped abruptly, and the big guys looked at each other, not daring to speak, and they were inevitably a little puzzled by General Cao Ren's nervous deployment.
- "Guan Yu was scared when he was alive, but now he has fainted, afraid of a bird?"
β¦
Xiangyang City, the main hall of the government office.
In front of Xu Huang, a horse knelt on one knee.
"Newspaper - according to the report of the fine work, there are fine works who have tried to get close to Guan Yu's military tent but are extremely well guarded! But... The barbecue sent by Mrs. Hu this morning was not touched in the military tent, and it was sent out as it was, so that the soldiers of the Guan family army could share it, but it was gruel... As always, it's all drunk ... It seems that Guan Yu can only pour porridge, not like he is awake. β
Listening to Tanma's report, Xu Huang nodded slowly, this is already the third Tanma's report in half a day, and the content of the report is nothing more than a detailed report, about Guan Yu's latest situation.
It seems that because of Guan Yu's fainting, Xu Huang and Cao Ren subconsciously thought that Guan Yu wanted to yin them, and the entire Fancheng and Xiangyang City were more noisy than usual.
"Keep exploring..."
Xu Huang slowly walked to the door, his tone was as serious as ever, and his expression was as solemn as ever, "The more times like this, the more you have to lift your spirits, you are tired, and this general is also tired, but compared to his tiredness, this general doesn't want to lose, he has lost too many times!" I'm losing my face! β
Oh, yes...
a frontal battle, because of the reflection of the bronze mirror;
Once because of the incendiary canister that can't be extinguished, this time... Finally won the initiative in the battle, he really didn't want to lose again.
Speaking of this, Xu Huang asked the scribe beside him, "Is General Zixiao gone?" β
"Gone... After inspecting the protection of Xiangyang City, I went to General Pound's camp..."
With the words of the scribe, Xu Huang bowed slightly, it seems that the protection of Xiangyang City, he Cao Zixiao still can't find the slightest fault!
It's just that, even so, Xu Huang sighed as always.
"You can't be carelessβ"
"Report!" At this moment, news came from Tanma again, "There is a detailed discovery that Ling Tong, the general of Eastern Wu, has appeared in Jiangling City!" β
Not...
This piece of news couldn't help but make Xu Huang reverie.
He naturally knew that the Feishui Battalion, Zhang Liao and Ling Tong's fierce fight... also knew about the disappearance of the two, and recently came news that Zhang Liao had returned.
Now, there is news that Ling Tong is in Jingzhou.
This...
Xu Huang couldn't help but "chirp" and sighed: "It's really eventful!" β
β¦
- "Capital crimes are inevitable, living crimes are inevitable!" Two hundred! β
In the Pang De camp, I saw a group of people surrounding an officer from a distance, and at the same time, there was Cao Ren's loud voice.
It turned out that it was Pang De's son Pang Hui's lieutenant general, who was lax because of Guan Yu's fainting, and during the day... They were originally guarding the camp, but they took a few brothers to drink wine and eat meat in the camp, and they were all drunk.
In fact, Pound's son Pang Hui also participated...
It's just that Pound shouted that he was in trouble and took a step first.
Who would have thought that as soon as the front foot left, Cao Ren came on the back foot and grabbed it.
Now this vice-general... He was being severely punished in front of all the soldiers.
Pound and his son Pang Hui also heard this and hurried over...
Just in time to see this pair of warriors who were bound under the gate, the executioner came with a thick whip, and when the whip was thrown out, there was an extra red blood mark on his back.
The general was shocked, and he gritted his teeth in pain so much that he didn't make a sound.
The whip is like a flying snake, tearing and biting bloody flowers...
Pang Hui wanted to rush out to save his lieutenant, but was stopped by Pang De, he knew... Father's meaning is that he can't have bad relations with Cao Ren.
Immediately, Pang Hui could only turn his face sadly, but he could hear the crackling whip sound from afar, he couldn't help clenching his fists, and his arms trembled... But his face was closed and his teeth were gritted, as if he was extremely unconvinced.
"Dad..."Finally, Pang Hui couldn't help but whisper to Pang De, "General Cao is too fussful, now that Guan Yu is fainting, isn't it just drinking wine and eating meat, is that so?" Make a big fuss..."
"Shh Pound motioned to his son not to say much...
The more Pang Hui thought about it, the more unpleasant it became, and continued in a low voice: "If this Cao Ren is really powerful, why is it that Guan Yu only knows how to garrison... Like a shrunken turtle, hum, I understand now, this is a general in the nest! β
"And said..."
Pound glared at his son.
At this time, the lieutenant's execution was over, and the whip marks on his back were staggered...
Cao Ren noticed Pang De, hurriedly walked towards him, and said, "General Pang, if I don't want to be in your army, it is really an extraordinary time, that Guan Yu has not yet been decided, so you must not slack off!" β
"The Admiral acts in accordance with military law!" Pound bowed his hand, "The last general will respect himself." β
It seems that a general like Pound, even if he is not convinced, will never put it on the surface!
Here, Cao Ren and Pang De continued to say word by word.
Over there, Pang would grit his teeth and keep scolding Cao Ren.
- "Turtle with a shrunken head!"

Jingzhou, Gong'an City, Guan Lin finally saw the soldiers and horses composed of Fu Shiren and Mi Fang's troops.
To Guan Lin's surprise, whether it was Mi Fang's troops or Fu Shiren's troops, the military formations, simulated sieges, and a series of training were quite well-trained.
This surprised Guan Lin extremely much...
Of course, perhaps, he knew that Fu Shiren was a person with ideals and ambitions, and Fu Shiren's soldiers never slacked off in their daily training... It's not that they can't, it's that they lack an opportunity.
As for Mi Fang's subordinates, that's another story.
Because in the past, with their own strength, they blocked the rapid attack of Jiangxia's ironclad "Wenpin"... even indirectly helped Guan Yu cut off the head of the Wenpin.
That battle, these parts are famous, the same battle... Let these parts be made of money, and face is also earned!
It's both face and lining...
In this way, they began to become obsessed with this feeling, the reason why salted fish is salted fish, it is that they have not seen the sea, and they have really opened their eyes, and it is a new story.
Even...
After watching them climb through the cover of the "Thunderbolt Ten Ox Crossbows" and the arrows of the "Eight Ox Carts", Lu Xun couldn't help but praise them.
"This soldier can be usedβ"
Guan Lin also bowed...
At this moment, an urgent letter came, which was a letter from Ma Liang, and Guan Lin quickly unfolded it.
It's okay not to look at it, at first glance, Guan Lin's face was stunned at first, but in less than ten breaths, his cheeks seemed to be plucked out of the clouds and saw the sun, and he smiled in an instant.
"How?"
Lu Xun was very curious and hurriedly asked.
Guan Lin explained: "Hua Tuo's female disciple wants to scrape my father's bones to cure poison..."
"Ahh
Guan Lin's words surprised Lu Xun.
At the same time, Guan Lin's voice continued, "This can send us a divine assistβ"
