Outside the Pound barracks.

In the hunting place of the withered grass, Pound's son Pang Hui was galloping on his horse, and he drew his bow and shot arrows, which flew like meteors to a lone goose in the sky.

It seems that the strength and arc of the arrow are just right.

Pang Hui's three younger brothers, Pang Feng, Pang Long, and Pang Hu, all applauded.

But at this moment, there was a sound of a beep, and he realized that another arrow was also flying into the sky from the opposite side.

The two arrows hit the wild goose at the same time, and the wild goose fell with a wail.

The people in Guanzhong are very good at riding and shooting, and this is Pound's guy who eats.

"Click..."

With the sound of horses' hooves, Pang Hui and Pang De came head-on, Pang Hui looked a little surprised, and hurriedly shouted:

"Daddy!"

Pang De blurted out: "Last time, your adjutant general drank wine and ate meat in the barracks during the day, and was punished by General Cao, how can you still not have a long memory, and you took a group of brothers out hunting in the middle of the day?" Don't need to defend the army village? ”

"Why don't you hunt?" Pang Hui looked at his father with a smile, "Didn't your father hear about it?" That Guan Yu scraped the bones to cure the poison, didn't say a word, but finally vomited blood, this is a return to the light, that Guan Yu is dead! Today's Jingzhou should ponder, how to mourn for him, at this time, what military village should we guard? It's time for the soldiers to relax..."

This...

Pang De naturally heard the rumors about Jiangling, and it was for this reason that Cao Ren urgently called him to Fancheng, Pang De was about to go out, but found that the garrison of each battalion was lax, and the sons of the various gates stationed in each village were gone. The four sons went hunting together!

Pound was still angry... can be thought of the rumors in Gangneung, and subconsciously feel that it is nothing.

This time, listening to his son Pang Hui say this, Pang De, who has always loved his son, simply didn't say anything more, but just reminded, "Don't let General Cao find out that you are derelict in your duties, abandon the military camp and hunt, otherwise, he will punish you, and it will be difficult for your father to intercede!" ”

"Punish us? Haha..."Pang Hui smiled and spread his hands, "If he comes, I have to talk to him?" I heard that the defenders of Xiangfan haven't been home for three years? Every year, the income has not risen, and the vacation has been saved, so for this... There are quite a few whispers among the soldiers, and the morale of the army has long been floating! ”

"And he scolds me? Hehe, it's time for the child to question him well! Is Guan Yu that powerful? As for making the soldiers so afraid? Even if it's so powerful, it's not like being killed by my father's arrow... This is all the credit of my father, what is he Cao Ren stinging about? ”

Because of the judgment that "Guan Yu is dead", then... This great credit, tracing back to the source, is naturally the poisonous arrow, which is Pound's.

Relying on this, Pang Hui doesn't care about Cao Ren!

"If it's Dad... Nothing else, my three brothers and I went hunting again! I never thought that there were still a lot of prey hidden in the forest in this winter. Pang Hui spoke, and the group rode their horses quickly, bent their bows and arrows, and went hunting again...

Winter prey is frozen, sluggish, and most easily shot.

Watching the departure of the four sons, Pang De didn't speak, his expression was not happy or angry, and the deputy general next to him hurriedly asked: "The news of Jiangling has just been transmitted back to the four sons, and the last general is afraid..."

"Don't be afraid!" Pang De raised his hand quite arrogantly, "Wu'er is right, Guan Yu is dead, the top priority for Jingzhou is Guan Yu's funeral, hehe..."

Speaking of this, Pang De smiled, and smiled very calmly, "You don't really think that Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang will really hand over Jingzhou to a teenage hairy boy, right?" Before Shuzhong sent a new marshal, the situation in Xiangfan was very safe... According to what Wu'er said, let the soldiers rest and recuperate, and when the new commander in Shuzhong arrives, there will be a tough battle! ”

Pound still cherishes his son too much, considers his son's position everywhere, and explains his son's behavior in every sentence.

Of course, there is some truth to his words.

That's when it happened. "Newspaper... Checkmate. An adjutant general hurriedly came, walked to Pang De's side, and knelt on one knee to report: "Jizhou recruits, the last batch of 10,000 people has been delivered, and now, all 30,000 recruits have arrived in the camp..."

"Set up tents, settle them, and select three thousand veterans, each of whom is the chief, and lead them separately." Pang De ordered, "As for the drill, don't be in a hurry at this time, the order issued by the prime minister is to hold Xiangfan, not to plot Nanjun, so that the brothers can rest for a few days!" I don't know when the next time I'm so comfortable! ”

"Whoa!" The adjutant general ordered to arrange it immediately...

Pound looked at his son, who was hunting, from afar, with a relieved smile like an old father's face.

Speaking of which, Guan Yu is dead, then the arrow that he shot at Guan Yu has also become high.

It was also that arrow that was enough for the glory and wealth of his Pang family for several generations!

Generations no longer have to be like him, from the bottom, pinning their heads to their waists and climbing up step by step, crawling out of the pile of dead people-

It was as if for a moment, Pound saw the hope of revival!

His Pang family is such a martial arts family, and it can be regarded as standing up!

…

…

This is the third day after scraping the bones to cure the poison.

"Ahh

A faint sigh came out of Guan Lin's mouth.

Just now, the eldest brother Guan Ping is here, and the purpose is to see his father as always... Speaking of which, Guan Lin is not allowed to visit his father for a day, which is reasonable, but it has been three days... It's a bit unreasonable to still not let people visit, even those closest and loved by my father.

Now there is a lot of discussion in the entire Guan family's army.

Some said, "The second general is dead, and now the reason why the fourth prince is not allowed to visit is to stabilize the army's heart and wait for the news to come back from Shuzhong, and wait for Shuzhong to send a general to preside over the overall situation." ”

Some said, "The second general is not dead, but he is extremely weak and cannot be disturbed by outsiders, so the fourth prince refuses everyone's visit, he is doing the right thing!" ”

There are even more conspiracy theories being promoted, saying that "the fourth prince doesn't want the second general to wake up!" ”

All in all, because of this strange matter, because Guan Yu's condition is unknown, and because Guan Lin is not allowed to visit, all kinds of rumors are rampant in the entire Guan family army.

When Guan Ping came here, he asked, "Fourth brother, just tell the eldest brother, is our father dead or alive?" ”

It's like... Even the eldest brother, who has always been the most sensible, was a little unable to hold his breath this time, and the whole thing released was a panicked and panicked aura.

Of course, this is a good thing for Guan Lin.

The eldest brother can't hold his breath, so... The eyes of those "Cao Wei" and "Dongwu" were even more unstable, and this piece of information was transmitted back to Xiangfan, which was beneficial to the whole situation.

It's just that the difficulty lies in Guan Lin, he has to stop everyone from visiting Guan Yu, the more he stops

… Then the news that "Guan Yu is dead" seems more real and valuable!

In the past three days alone, Guan Lin stopped Guan Ping twice, Guan Yinping four times, Guan Xing six times, Guan Suo once, Wang Fu, Zhao Lei... There is also a deputy general of the Guan family's army, and Guan Lin can't remember how many times he has stopped them.

"Ugh..."

Therefore, after Guan Ping left, he couldn't stop sighing.

Lu Xun was on the side, looking at Guan Lin's full head of white hair, thinking about his white head overnight because of Sun Quan's backstabbing, it seemed... Far from Guan Lin's white.

If Lu Xun's white is sideburns white, then Guan Lin's white is spotted white... Lu Xun didn't know that Guan Lin was dyed with the poop of 'pigeons' and 'pigeon urine', and he thought that Guan Lin was really stressed!

"It's not easy for you..."Thinking of this, Lu Xun couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"It's not easy, but it's still to come!" Guan Lin shook his head helplessly..."Can stop my brother, my brother, my sister, and these lieutenants, but... If my mother comes, I don't know how to stop it? If you can't keep it, you have to show the side of the rebel! ”

Guan Lin's tone was low, and his tone was extremely gloomy... The pressure is still too much.

Even, Guan Lin transferred the soldiers to Zhoucang's side to prevent soldiers from breaking into it to visit his father, it has reached the most critical time, this is the most competitive moment, and you must not drop the chain!

"I really admire you!" Lu Xun looked at Guan Lin again with a little more admiration in his eyes, "Only you can think of this idea, these brothers and sisters of yours, and the deputy generals are going to turn their faces against you, and the heart of the entire Guan family army is floating, don't say it's Cao Ren, Pang De, Xu Huang... It's me Lu Xun, if I wasn't by your side, I would be sure... General Guan is afraid that it is really gone! ”

"What's going on over there in Xiangfan?" Guan Lin raised his eyes slightly.

Lu Xun said solemnly: "Xiangfan has not moved, but Pang De's military camp has been a lot lax, and there are a lot fewer scouts and scouts around Jiangling City!" According to reliable sources, Pound's four sons hunted during the day, roasted their prey at night, and feasted every night, as if they had completely slackened. ”

Guan Lin bowed: "This can be regarded as a positive direction, but..."

He was halfway through his words, and then he stopped talking.

This piqued Lu Xun's interest, "What is it?" ”

"I'm thinking." Guan Lin pouted and groaned, "When will Cao Ren, the old turtle, let his guard down?" I heard that the defenders of Xiangfan have not been home for more than three years, and I have heard that under the widowhood order, the defenders of Xiangfan have divided their daughters-in-law, but the daughter-in-law is still in the Central Plains... Don't talk about that, I haven't even touched my hand! These defenders are bitter! ”

As soon as this statement came out...

"Hahaha..."Lu Xun suddenly laughed.

The gloomy atmosphere here seems to have been swept away...

That's when it happened.

"Report-" A personal guard walked into the room and hurriedly reported to Guan Lin: "Mrs. Hu is here..."

As soon as these words came out, Guan Lin and Lu Xun looked at each other, and Guan Lin spread his hands helplessly... What should be faced, sooner or later, you still have to face it!

…

…

With more and more news coming back from Gangneung.

On the city towers of Fancheng, the streets and alleys, the taverns and tea stalls... More and more people began to talk about Jingzhou and Guan Yu.

The sergeants who defended the city in Xiangfan talked about some topics closely related to them.

"Is Guan Yu dead?"

"I hope it's dead, so that General Cao can still show mercy and give us some time off, I haven't been home for three years!"

"Who isn't? Since becoming a military household, I was sent to this Xiangfan to garrison, and my mother-in-law... I don't know what's going on now? I feel that if I don't go back, if I can't keep it, she will be abducted! If I go back and pick up the child for nothing, then I'll be angry! ”

"I don't have a mother-in-law, I have an old lady, she is not in good health, she can't write letters, it's been three years, I just want to see her... How's that going now! Are you still healthy? ”

The sergeants were talking about family leave back home.

It's my own mother-in-law at home, it's my own mother-in-law...

Speaking of which, the soldiers of the Han Dynasty did not have holidays, and their military service was similar to the compulsory military system, generally serving two years... You can't go home for two years.

But Cao Wei implemented the "military household" system, which is equivalent to... Soldiers have changed from amateurs, improvised patchwork from all directions, to professional soldiers.

So... In addition to the annual military salary, the annual holiday is also a point of concern for military households... There is always time to go back to spend time with the family.

Of course, Cao Wei was not generous to military households... Every year, these military families are given only one month to go home to visit their relatives. If the war is tense and this holiday is deprived, then ... The next year is to be compensated.

is similar to the Xiangfan battlefield, because the pressure is too great, Cao Ren has not let the soldiers who defended the city go home for three years, and the soldiers are bitter!

As time goes by, the soldiers will inevitably feel homesick, and their morale will naturally be affected to a certain extent.

But the pressure brought by Guan Yu was too great, and there was no choice but to persevere.

Now... On the city tower, Cao Ren and Xu Huang quietly hid in the watchtower on the side, just quietly listening to the discussions of the soldiers.

At this time, some young soldiers began to complain.

"Speaking of which, Prime Minister Cao Cheng issued a widow order and gave me a daughter-in-law, but what's the matter! My daughter-in-law is in Yecheng, I am in Xiangyang, and I haven't even seen my daughter-in-law in front of me for these two months. I haven't even touched my hands... I haven't touched a woman since I'm so big! ”

Speaking of which...

The young soldier was bitter,

"I was thinking, if I hadn't even touched my daughter-in-law, I would be unlucky... Died on the battlefield, then this daughter-in-law, whom I have never seen or touched, has become a widow again, and has to be distributed to others again, then I will not die! Yes... Ahh

When it came to the back, the young soldier was already a handful of snot and tears.

Some of the taste of old tears.

The veteran on the side was laughing at him, "I said that something is wrong with you kid lately, it turns out that you want a woman... Hahaha, the spear in his hand has been sharpened, but the spear in his heart is itching, right? Hahaha... I should find you a little girl's skin first, so that you can vent your anger! ”

As soon as the veteran spoke, a cadre of soldiers laughed heartily, "Hahahaha..."

The recruit was not shy, and met the gaze of this group of veterans, "You... You don't care, but I... I've never touched a woman! ”

"Hahahaha..."The laughter continues...

It's just the laughter of this group of veterans, laughing and laughing and crying, and all the soldiers are crying.

I am homesick, I miss the old lady at home, the mother-in-law at home!

After a while, the patrol team finally walked over, and Cao Ren and Xu Huang walked out of the watchtower...

Xu Huang sighed with emotion: "Our Great Wei soldiers have suffered a lot! ”

"Do I not know the afflictions of their lives?" Cao Ren's eyebrows lowered, "But over the years, Guan Yu has made countless expeditions to the north, the farthest one, one move to cut off all the support of the north to Xiangfan, and it has not been easy for me all these years!" ”

Cao Ren's emotion was profound, as if no one had anyone to tell him about the pain in his heart...

That's when it happened.

"Report..."A sergeant knelt on one knee and reported to Cao Ren, "Today's news has come back, it's been four days, and Guan Lin still doesn't allow outsiders to visit Guan Yu!" Many people in the Guan family army have already developed emotions... threatened to denounce Guan Lin! ”

"Look..."Xu Huang said with emotion: "It is worthy of this Guan Jia Shilang, he is going to delay it and drag it to Shuzhong to send a new great future... I just don't know, who will be sent? ”

Cao Ren also groaned for a moment, as if he was thinking slightly... Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, Ma Chao? One name after another came to his mind.

But in the end, his tone was firm, "Whoever it is, at least... I won't be so jealous like Guan Yu! I don't even have time to let the soldiers go back to visit my family! ”

Speaking of this, the last line of defense in Cao Ren's heart seemed to be completely loosened, "Pass on my military order, let the soldiers go home in batches to save their relatives, and take a good rest!" ”

"General Zixiao..."Xu Huang exclaimed, he was shocked that Cao Ren was finally relieved, and still chose what seemed to be a more radical way... chose to let these soldiers go back to their hometowns to rest and recuperate.

Instead of taking advantage of the situation to attack Nanjun, it is not a more secure hold. Without waiting for Xu Huang to say his words, Cao Ren's voice came out again, and he first sighed: "This time, it can't be fake, right?" ”

Speaking of this, Xu Huang solemnly arched his hand, and he added:

- "Hahaha, can the dead Guan Yu still scare the living Celestial General?" ”

This... Hearing this, Cao Ren was stunned, and then he laughed, and he smiled heartily.

"Hahaha... Hahahaha! ”

It's like... Xu Huang's words made him quite useful!

However, for half a day, the soldiers of the entire Fancheng Cao Camp became excited and excited.

The big guys are talking about it, and the focus of the discussion is also from

"Is Guan Yu dead?" Transferred to "Finally able to go home!" ”

yes, the temptation to go home... Finally able to go home!

From this point of view.

- This Guan Yu's death is really just right!

- General Pound has made a great contribution!

…

…

"What is this?"

Ling Tong, who was imprisoned, opened his mouth angrily, "We have the good intention of scraping Guan Yu's bones to cure poison, but now, we are being imprisoned in this prison?" ”

Zhuo Shu, Zhuo Rong, and Ling Tong were locked up together, and the prison where they were held was far more spacious than the ordinary prison, and even had simple beds.

However, since he was a child, where has Ling Tong ever had such an encounter, he treats others with the "gift of a national scholar", and he also hopes that others can treat him with the "gift of a national scholar".

It is precisely because of this that he is more angry than anyone else, "How can there be such a truth in the world, the doctor heals the man, and instead of healing, he has to... To imprison a doctor? In vain, Guan Lin also set up an official medical department, why did he ask for a doctor? What is medical ethics? ”

Because he had been with Zhuo Rong for a long time, Ling Tong was more and more infected by this young woman's medical ethics, so he said this.

It's just, where is there anyone in this big prison? No response!

"Don't say it..."Zhuo Shu persuaded softly, "Except for someone coming when the food is delivered, where is there anyone in this prison?" What's the point of me complaining? ”

"That..."Ling Tong was still angry.

At this moment, Zhuo Rong opened her mouth, and she persuaded: "Brother Ling, don't you be like this... If you're in a hurry, you'll have a wound, and I've seen that your wound has some abscesses in the past two days, and I'm a little worried..."

didn't wait for Zhuo Rong to speak. "Why am I afraid of death? It's just that you... Especially Miss Zhuo, you shouldn't be locked up here! ”

Ling Tong's tone became more and more sentimental, he didn't know why, these days, he always wanted to protect this female doctor

…

Could it be that it was because her medicine saved herself?

Or maybe she... Her feelings of helping the world and saving people make Ling Tong, a man who pursues the "style of a countryman", yearn for it?

"Brother Ling, don't get excited." Zhuo Rong continued, "Actually, I have been thinking about General Guan's fainting and vomiting blood, and the more I think about it, the more I have a bold conjecture..."

"What?" Zhuo Shu and Ling Tong spoke in unison.

Zhuo Rong hesitated, she slowly opened her mouth, "Perhaps, from the very beginning, General Guan has... He had never fainted, and he resisted the pain of scraping bones when he was conscious! ”

As Zhuo Rong blurted out his words, Ling Tong and Zhuo Shu's eyes widened subconsciously, as if they had heard something incredible.

And at this moment... In the deep passage of the cell, there was a sudden sound of footsteps, accompanied by a torch.

As the footsteps and torches approached, a familiar and unfamiliar man appeared in front of Ling Tong, Zhuo Rong, and Zhuo Shu.

Zhuo Rong exclaimed: "The predecessor is... It's just..."

When the words came to his lips, he seemed to be choked suddenly.

And the man didn't answer Zhuo Rong, he walked directly to the prison door, squatted down, and made a gesture towards Ling Tong. "I noticed your wound before, you come here, I'll take a look at your wound!"
