In the government office in Hefei City, a soft movement is played.

Wine and meat were placed on the two plans, and Sun Quan and Gu Yong knelt behind the table, listening to the music of the water rhyme Jiangdong, and discussing the current situation from time to time.

And in today's situation, the focus of the entire southern battlefield revolves around Jingzhou...

To be precise, it revolves around one person-Guan Yu!

It seems that Guan Yu's current physical condition is enough to affect the entire southern battlefield, affect the future Xiangfan, and even the belonging of Jiangxia and Huainan.

"Old Gu, you are well-informed, this time there is news from Jingzhou, Guan Yu is already breathing a sigh of relief, fainting and not waking up, hehe, you are telling me, this Guan Yu is really dizzy? Or is it a fake faint, or is it a deception like Zhou Gongjin when he was seeking Nanjun? ”

Sun Quan poured a glass of wine into his mouth, his turquoise pupils almost narrowed into a slit, and asked Gu Yong softly.

Gu Yong put down the wine in his hand and said with emotion.

"If it's a fake faint, I heard that Pang De who shot arrows is a native of Guanzhong, there are many local warlords in Guanzhong, and it is reasonable for the means to be ruthless, what arrows are quenched with poison, and the arrows are dyed with gold juice, these are all conventional means, but if Guan Yu really faints because of this, his life hangs by a thread, only with this arrow, I still think it is unlikely! After all, that's Guan Yu... After Lu Bu, is it Guan Yu, who is invincible in the world? He... Will they fall under an arrow? ”

Gu Yong's analysis is well-founded.

You must know that Sun Quan's letter to Cao Cao "Gong Yi retreats quickly" has passed for a long time, although there is no doubt that there is such a record as burning Cao's army's fat water camp, there is no doubt... Sun Quan's tens of thousands of troops gathered in Hefei, and his pressure was also great.

The supply of grain and grass, the transportation of ordnance, and the hidden danger of the rear handover state... All of these tickled Sun Quan's heart from time to time.

In fact, he has already had the idea of retreating, but he retreated, and Hefei could never let go!

It's the dry season, stay up until July... Survive to the rising water period, when the soldiers are full of food, it is the time for Sun Quan to counterattack!

Can... How easy is it to let Cao Cao retire?

At this point, Sun Quan still has self-knowledge, the only one who can stop Cao Cao's offensive on the battlefield on the southern front, and who can make him retreat to Xudu, is that man:

- Guan Yu!

But now...

"Hehe..." Sun Quan laughed bitterly, a piece of venison filled his mouth, but it tasted like chewing wax.

His mentality seems to be very complicated, he doesn't want Guan Yu to win, but he doesn't want Guan Yu to fall so easily... I don't want Huainan to be under more pressure!

That's when it happened.

"My lord...", an attendant came to report, "Mr. Zhuge Ziyu outside the door asks to see you!" ”

"Ziyu is back?" Sun Quan was quite surprised, "Quick pass..."

Not a lot, the chamberlain led Zhuge Jin into the room, "Lord..."

"Take a seat!" Sun Quan showed full welcome to Zhuge Jin's return, "Ziyu came back earlier than expected. ”

On the other hand, Zhuge Jin's expression looked a little nervous, he hesitated, but decided to get straight to the point.

"My lord, the minister is in such a hurry to return, there is something to report to the lord!"

"What?"

With Zhuge Jin's tone, Sun Quan felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, it was an indescribable atmosphere... It's dreary, and it's cold!

"Ling Tong is in Jiangling-" Finally, Zhuge Jin chanted all the words in his heart.

And with this sentence, Sun Quan, who was originally pouring wine for Zhuge Jin in person, his hand seemed to tremble... With a "bang", the entire wine bottle fell... Only the "crisp" and "dull" sound remained.

After that, Sun Quan chatted with Zhuge Jin for half an hour, and then called Zhuge Jin back to rest.

Sun Quan was very restrained throughout the whole process...

It wasn't until Zhuge Jin left that the hidden anger in his chest could no longer be contained.

"One by one, they are all gone, is this a bad way to use people?"

Realizing Sun Quan's depressed mood, Gu Yong hurriedly took Sun Quan's words, "This is not Wu Hou's crime, it is that Ling Gong's achievements do not know what to do, the lord... The foundation of Dongwu Nuoda, Wenchen is like a cloud, the military generals are like rain, less Taishi Ci can pass, less Zhou Gongjin can pass, less Ling Tong, also... You can live too! ”

With Gu Yong's words.

Sun Quan's expression became more and more gloomy, and he gave the order fiercely.

"Confine all the family members of this Ling Tong to Lonely, and no one is allowed to visit without Lone's order!"

"Whew... "Gu Yong nodded hurriedly.

At this moment, he seemed to feel again... From this Wu Hou's deep suspicion!

Last time, the suspicion of the lord of Eastern Wu made Chibi's meritorious minister, Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin, "two parts of the world" not successful... On the contrary, it is a dead death!

…

…

You don't see the morning like green silk turning into snow at dusk!

In the past, King Chuping listened to slander, Wu Zixu fled, passed through Shaoguan, the situation was dangerous, and it was difficult to pass the pass in the blue sky, Wu Zixu stayed awake all night, anxious, and gave birth to a full head of white hair.

From a scientific point of view, stress and sadness will indeed lead to the disappearance of "melanocytic stem cells" in the body, thus turning the head of a teenager white.

It is worth mentioning that the disappearance of "melanocytes" caused by stress is irreversible!

Of course...

This is all nonsense.

Because at this moment, Guan Lin's silver hair... By no means because of "pressure"!

but because of the "physical" effect ...

It's the ancient method of "dyeing hair—"

It is made by mixing white "pigeon dung" with "pigeon urine", supplemented by dry pine, gypsum, white sandalwood, white and so on...

A prescription that can dye a full head of black hair into a pure white overnight!

Guan Lin didn't expect that the "useless" knowledge he had seen from the "encyclopedia" before would really work in this era!

He was also forced!

"Whew-"

With Guan Lin's soft shout, Guan Lin in the military tent, he took one last look at Guan Yu, and said softly: "Dad, in order to find the field for you, the child is really fighting..."

Even if he pretended to faint, Guan Yu couldn't help but look at Guan Lin at this moment with his residual vision.

His white hair, as pale and slender as a spider's spit out...

If it is said that Guan Lin under the black hair yesterday gives people the feeling that he exudes the alluring breath of life like green grass;

But today's gray hair...

and Guan Lin's deliberately weak, depressed, and hesitant appearance.

Like withered grass, it shook its blind, bleak, withered colors.

I don't know if it's because of the dawn...

In the faint light, Guan Yu only felt his son's spotted white hair, as if depicting the vicissitudes of his life after he took charge of the Guan family's army... And, the hardships of deploying everything and strategizing a "bureau"!

This makes Guan Yu infinitely distressed...

He couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

- "Finally, this 'rebel' has grown into a man who stands up to the sky!"

Guan Yu squinting his eyes...

It only lasted for a short time before he realized... Next, it is not only the "battlefield" of Yunqi, but also the "battlefield" of his Guan Yu, which is a battlefield that he Guan Yu has never touched.

Trample...

As Guan Lin pushed open the door of the military tent here, he slowly walked out of the military tent.

And with Guan Lin's coming out... Originally, the Guan family sergeants who were still surrounding the neighborhood were stunned one by one, and Guan Ping and Guan Xing, who were guarding outside the tent, also opened their mouths in surprise and looked at the fourth brother in front of them incredulously.

"Big brother... Fourth brother, he..."

"I see, is this an overnight white?"

Stunned, Guan Xing and Guan Ping couldn't help but whisper such a sentence.

Zhang Xingcai and Guan Yinping originally came to give Guan Yu and Guan Lin food, and there were porridge and porridge to be poured into Guan Yu in the food box, as well as dough cakes to fill Guan Lin's stomach...

It's just that when they saw Guan Lin's scattered, silver hair blowing in the wind, they were suddenly stunned... The food box in his hand fell to the ground with a "click".

Gradually, there were more and more people around.

Gradually, the news of "Guan Sigongzi's white head overnight" spread throughout the military camp and the entire Jiangling City...

Gradually, the entire Guanjia military camp, everyone rushed here.

There was no need for bells and drums to be assembled, there was no need to send people to give orders, all the soldiers came in, including... In the Guan family's army, those farmers who delivered vegetables and meat, as well as the eyes of Dongwu and Cao Wei.

Everyone looked at Guan Lin in disbelief...

Everyone was whispering, "Guan Sigongzi... It's been a white night! ”

"Brother Yunqi... You..."Zhang Xingcai ran quickly to Guan Lin's side, she looked at Guan Lin incredulously and in horror, she couldn't help but grab Guan Lin's hand, and found that the palm was cold.

Her eyes were full of worry...

It's like, as if his Yunqi brother has aged thirty years overnight!

Guan Lin didn't answer her, but looked around at the crowd here... More and more people are coming.

Finally, as more and more people surrounded Guan Lin, Guan Lin opened his mouth.

"Doctor Zhongjing said that my father only has one breath left, so I have been thinking about it last night, thinking about whether my father's body bones can still withstand the 'bone scraping and healing poison', thinking and thinking, I fell asleep, I seemed to dream of my father, I seemed to hear him, scolded me, scolded me for being a rebel, scolded me 'just let him lie down like this, it is better to let him die'... Can... But even if I am a 'rebel', he is also my father! He thought about it for a hundred years, but can I let him go like this? ”

At the end, Guan Lin suddenly raised his voice.

But soon, this tone stopped abruptly, and he sighed: "That's it, all night, I can't sleep anymore, I'm afraid of dreaming of my father again, I'm afraid that he will force me... I've been tossing and turning, and I've been thinking about whether I should scrape my father's bones to cure the poison... Should you bet on this? Maybe... You guys... You'll think I'm gambling with my father's life! Can... Wrong, I'm taking the soul of the Guan family's army, I'm taking Jingzhou, I'm gambling with the hope of Xinghan! My gamble has never been about my father's safety and survival! ”

Speaking of this, Guan Lin's voice became higher and higher, and his emotions became more and more excited. "Maybe I'm destined to Guan Lin, I can't be a filial son in this life, maybe I'm Guan Lin destined to bear the infamy of this 'rebel', all night, thinking about it, thinking about it again and again, I... I Guan Lin still decided... Want... If you want to scrape the bones for my father to cure the poison, I have to bet on this one to see if the poison on his arm is solved first, or if my father can't bear it and leaves first! ”

Guan Lin's words were extremely fast...

But inexplicably, when his white hair fluttered, when his sad expression came out, when his distressing tears swayed...

What everyone thinks of is "Wu Zixu's white head overnight", it is Guan Lin, the fourth son of Guan, who has experienced the pressure and despair of communicating with Wu Zixu!

This is the final decision made in the despair of the limit.

This must have been a very difficult decision!

Everyone thinks of this... Guan Lin found Zhuo Rong and Zhuo Shu in the crowd, and he stared deeply at them, and the voice of the extremely difficult choice raised again.

"Pass my military order - early tomorrow morning, for the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion, scrape the bones and cure the poison!"

As soon as these words came out, the audience was silent!

…

…

The information of Fancheng and Jiangling came quickly through the flying pigeons, which also made the entire Jingxiang Qi move.

Xu Huang also rushed here, and Cao Ren and Zhao Yan were already waiting for him here.

"General Zixiao, are you in such a hurry to call me? Is it because Guan Jia Shiro wants to scrape Guan Yu's bones to cure poison? ”

It seems that from the urgency in Cao Ren and Zhao Yan's eyes, Xu Huang read their mood.

"It's not just scraping bones to cure poison..."Cao Ren sighed with emotion: "And that Guan Jia Shiro has a white head overnight... The last one who was white-headed overnight was 800 years ago! ”

Zhao Yan added in a timely manner, "General Zixiao is talking about the story of Wu Zixu passing through Shaoguan and becoming ill, so he turned white overnight... Now, this Guan Jia Shiro scrapes his father's bones, and his head is white overnight... It's deafening! But... From this 'overnight white head', I feel that Guan Yu's condition is not optimistic! It seems that General Pound's poisoned arrows can still kill people! ”

To know...

The ancients only had the concept of "caring for hair", as mentioned in the "Book of Songs" - to make a song, and to return to Mu!

As for this concept of "dyed hair", especially the concept of "white hair", at least in the late Han Dynasty... That's not at all.

Even looking at the entire ancient times, only "Lu Zhan" dyed his gray hair to flatter his concubine, and "Kou Zhun" promoted gray hair to seek appearance!

This mainstream crowd is pretending to be young, and the non-mainstream crowd is pretending to be old.

It is precisely for this reason that Cao Ren, Xu Huang, and Zhao Yan would never have thought that Guan Lin's "white hair" was dyed, let alone think about it from that angle...

What they subconsciously thought must be that they must be white overnight like Wu Zixu!

and "scraping bones to cure poison..."

This made Cao Ren, Xu Huang, Zhao Yan... It is inevitable that the situation in Jiangling will have more suspicions about Guan Yu's condition!

"What if... If you really want to scrape the bones to cure the poison..."Xu Huang added: "Then I would rather believe that Guan Yunchang is not a fool, but really hangs by a thread!" ”

"Don't be busy jumping to conclusions..."Cao Ren was as cautious as ever, his eyes were deeply condensed, just... The subjective suspicion of Guan Yu's deception is gone.

Instead... The loosening of that great suspicion!

"yes!" Zhao Yan added: "Isn't Guan Jia Shiro going to scrape Guan Yu's bones tomorrow to cure poison?" If it's tricky, who can bear the pain of 'scraping bones'... You might as well wait one more day, maybe... The situation in Jingzhou has completely changed. ”

Call...

Xu Huang exhaled deeply again.

Zhao Yan's words, he believed it...

It is true that during this period of time, Guan Jiashilang Guan Lin on the Jiangxia battlefield was generous and brilliant, causing a lot of trouble to Cao Wei.

But in fact, it's just trouble...

Jingzhou, the biggest threat from the beginning is Guan Yu, his bravery, his prestige, his spirit!

Only Guan Yu can affect the psychological level of the soldiers on both sides...

As long as Guan Yu is there, the morale of the Guan family army will reach its peak in an instant, and they will be alive and well...

And the morale of the enemy army was instantly halved, and they were panicked!

It is this unquestionable deterrence, just like Zhang Wenyuan's deterrence against the rats of Shangdongwu.

Without waiting for Xu Huang to speak again, Cao Ren proposed: "Gongming won't leave today, and when the news of scraping bones and curing poison comes back tomorrow, you and I will make plans again... Perhaps, as General Zhao said, the sky in Jingzhou is about to change, and our opportunity to subdue Nanjun has come! ”

"Then General Yi Zixiao."

Xu Huang nodded deeply, he turned his head out of the door, and the direction he was facing was Jiangling!

- "Scrape the bones to cure the poison!"

- "The truth is false, the false is real, and the truth is finally to be seen!"

…

…

On this day, the weather in Jiangxia was exceptionally cold.

But a force of 4,000 men in Jiangxia was marching rapidly, and in order to avoid the eyes and ears of the enemy, they specially abandoned the waterway and rushed to Jiangling by land.

You know, you need to walk through a muddy area called "Yunmengze", and the famous "Huarong Road" is one here, which is a secret... But it's not a trail to take.

Fortunately, it is not a period of high water, and the mud is not there...

It helped a lot!

Looking at the costumes, the legion that is now passing through Yunmengze is the soldier of the Lu family's army, led by the long history of Jiangxia Zhuge Ke...

The soldiers kept drinking water as they walked, but their lips were still dry and cold.

It's too cold and too dry here.

The cold north wind hung on Zhuge Ke's face like a knife, and the huge clods of earth kept falling on the map, at this time, Lu Xun's son Lu Yan rode his horse to catch up and handed Zhuge Ke a bag of water.

"Changshi, let's drink saliva, it's just burned, it's hot... This damn Yun Mengze is too cold, let the brothers rest! It's been a morning! ”

Zhuge Ke took a sip of water, "Master Lu, it's not that I don't sympathize with the soldiers of the Lu family army under you... It's Yunqi Gongzi who let him quietly transport 40,000 soldiers in a month, this transportation of troops is like fighting fires, he asked us for a month, we have to do it in 20 days, so that it can be foolproof... Tell the brothers, work hard, don't delay for a moment before you get to the public security city, and when you get there, it's time to get warm! Have a rest! ”

Lu Yan looked at Zhuge Ke's expression so seriously... Silent for a moment, he discovered... When Zhuge Ke mentioned Guan Lin, he was as persistent as his father Lu Xun!

In the evening...

Zhuge Ke, who had been in a hurry all night, was helped by Lu Yan and staggered back to the tent.

Having said that, others are running this trip, but he Zhuge Ke has already run a few times.

It's four thousand people each time... Every time, he has to avoid the easy waterway, he has to choose this muddy mountain road, he has to be absolutely secretive, and every time he sends the soldiers and horses to the public security city, he will return immediately... Send the next batch!

At this moment, he was lying directly on the simple bed, Lu Yan saw a piece of red on his clothes, and quickly uncovered Zhuge Ke's clothes, and found a blood stain on his leg, he was shocked and painful: "Zhuge Changshi, your leg, if you run like this, it will be useless, you see that it is bleeding... Tomorrow you should take the car! ”

Zhuge Ke smiled and said, "Master Lu, you should know better than me, this time among the four thousand people in the Lu family's army, more than 1,000 are older than me, they can all stand it, what can't I stand it?" How can there be a general in a car? What does this make the walking soldier think? Can you still march in a hurry? ”

Lu Yan was puzzled and sighed, "It seems that Zhuge Changshi, like my father, is obviously a material for being a civil official, but he wants to be involved in this battlefield... I don't know what you can't send! ”

"Haha..."Faced with this, Zhuge Ke smiled: "I can't let go of Jingzhou, I can't let go of the army, I can't let go of this situation, and I can't let go of fame and fortune... Perhaps the most unbearable thing is the entrustment of the cloud flag boy! ”

Zhuge Ke smiled and continued to sigh. "Lu Gongzi thinks that it is difficult to transport troops, but it is even more difficult to train soldiers to practice crossbows, but General Liaohua... It's not the same, you can train four thousand crossbowmen in a few days, all of them are working under the Cloud Banner Boy, I don't want to prove anything, but I don't want to be compared to others! ”

Speaking of this, Zhuge Ke made an "oops", like a wound on his clothes, tearing his clothes with a piercing pain.

He continued: "While you're still young, do more about this situation... Make a little more credit, so that in the future, when others mention our Zhuge clan, they will give a thumbs up, saying that if you take out any one of them, it's all good! ”

Lu Yan inexplicably seemed to be encouraged... He wiped his eyes and said, "I have little contact with Yunqi Gongzi, I don't understand, what magic power does he have, can make you, my father, and General Liao Hua work so hard..."

"Haha!" Zhuge Ke laughed and said: "You will soon know, I already have a premonition that this time will be a great victory that can go down in history!" ”

When he said this, Zhuge Ke's eyes had light!
