Chapter 357 Luoyang City, the iron-beaten Li Li, the son of flowing water
Xiangyang City, too guarded by the government office, a high hanging "Lin" word flag raised outside the gate of the house, at this moment is being hunted by the river wind in the night!
The Taishou Mansion here has finally ushered in its new owner.
At this moment, it is late at night on the moon.
But the study here is still brightly lit, and there are stacks of thick white paper on the table, and Guan Lin is hastily writing something on it, but every time he writes one, Guan Lin can't help frowning and pondering for a long time.
Lu Xun has been led in by Shiwu.
Originally, Lu Xun, Zhuge Ke, and Liu Ye were going to be summoned, but in the end, Guan Lin only summoned Lu Xun.
Now, Lu Xun already knows what happened, and it is surprisingly consistent with Guan Lin's judgment, he also feels that Ling Tong is about to finish, and Zhang Liao is also more auspicious.
Of course, this is a matter of "nothing to do with oneself and hang high", Zhang Liao and Ling Tong belong to Wei and Wu respectively, even if a female doctor dies, this seems to be no loss in Jingzhou's view, and even weakens the enemy, which can be regarded as a divine assist sent by this 'clear-minded' female doctor.
However, when Lu Xun heard that Guan Lin's purpose was to rescue Zhang Liao and Ling Tong to Jingzhou, just as he Lu Xun and the entire Lu family's clansmen rescued from Eastern Wu, Lu Xun hesitated, and there were many dodges and hesitations in his eyes.
Considering Cao Cao's suspicious nature and Sun Quan's ruthlessness...
It's not an easy task.
- Guan Lin's idea is also a bit wild!
Guan Lin was still writing the letter, still writing, and then luaned into a ball and threw it on the ground, as if he was not satisfied with the content of the letter, or his plan.
In the middle, he didn't forget to ask Lu Xun, "Tai Shixiang and Sun Shao's Hongyan, how are they in Soochow now?" β
In Soochow, if you want to save Ling Tong, then Tai Shixiang and Sun Shao in Soochow, and even "Hong Yan" are one of the few cards that Guan Lin can play!
Guan Lin must know the specific situation about Hongyan.
Lu Xun said truthfully: "Tai Shixiang and Sun Shao have arrived in Soochow a long time ago, but they have not yet met Zhou Xun, nor have they visited Xiao Qiao, because of some clues I provided, they are collecting important evidence at the time of the death of 'Zhou Yu'..."
"Zhou Xun..."Guan Lin muttered the name, as if because of this name, Guan Lin had some new ideas.
He wrote in a hurry, quickly filled the white paper with words, and when the last word was written, he stuffed the white paper into the envelope, sealed it with vermilion lacquer with his own hands, and then handed it to Lu Xun's hand.
Although he didn't see the content of this letter, from Guan Lin's words and demeanor, Lu Xun still read some special flavors.
He asked rhetorically: "Is Yunqi trying to save Ling Tong through 'Hongyan'?" β
"No!" Guan Lin waved his hand, "Hongyan Yu Dongwu, in fact, there is no energy, if we want to save Ling Tong, we need to borrow the hand of others, it is best to borrow the hand of a wang clan or a big clan!" β
Prompting this, Lu Xun suddenly realized, "What do you mean?" Want to choose a weekly cycle? Choose a Zhou family? β
Faced with Lu Xun's question, Guan Lin bowed slightly, and he said solemnly: "Although Zhou Yu is not there, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the Zhou family still has energy... I've heard you say that this week is wise and clever enough to be valued by Sun Quan, and he still has more than 10,000 people in his hands! β
This at least shows that although Sun Quan is ruthless and always does unsightly things, he still needs to be faced, and it is impossible to do things so desperately on the bright side! So... If we can let the Zhou family be used by us, and take the initiative to ask Ling Tong to take over this matter, then maybe Ling Tong... There will be a turnaround! β
Listening to Guan Lin's words, Lu Xun pondered for a moment, and finally he nodded in agreement...
Of course, in this case, to save Ling Tong...
It's still almost impossible!
Just use a dead horse as a live horse doctor!
After talking about Ling Tong's side, there is also Zhang Liao.
Lu Xun led the voice to Cao Wei, "What about Zhang Liao's words? How are you going to save Yunqi? He seems to be in a more dangerous situation than Ling Tong, and it is even more difficult to transport it out..."
Speaking of this, Lu Xun lowered his mouth and said lightly: "How many people have Cao Cao's suspicions killed over the years, Lu Bohao, Bian Rang, Chen Gong, Kong Rong, Zhou Budo, Lou Gui, Cui Yan, Xun Yu... Cao Cao, he doesn't care..."
Without waiting for Lu Xun to finish speaking, Guan Lin took his words, "Among these people mentioned by Bo Yan just now, there are many talents who have made great contributions to Cao Wei, and Zhang Liao's situation is ten times more dangerous than Ling Tong!" β
Lu Xun suddenly thought of something. "Does Yunqi want to enable Sima Yi?"
In Cao Wei, Sima Yi is a card that Guan Lin can play, which Lu Xun knows very well.
It's just that Guan Lin shook his head, "According to Sima Yi's current status in Cao Wei, where can he intervene in Zhang Liao's affairs?" At most, I can help from the side... Whether or not he can escape depends on Zhang Liao's own creation! β
Speaking of this, Guan Lin's mind suddenly flashed with an idea, as if this incident made him subconsciously think of two people.
One man and one woman!
The female is Lu Bu and Diao Chan, the hostess of the "parrot" - Lingju.
Now she is in Luoyang, coordinating the "parrot" to help Li Li dig tunnels and carry out this important task.
However, according to what she said, in addition to Zang Ba, the lord of Langya Country, who knew about her existence with the parrot over the years, and secretly helped her a lot, Zhang Liao also knew about it and secretly gave her great help.
Whether it is Zang Ba or Zhang Liao, they are the right-hand men of Li Lu Bu in the past, and they are both people who take the lead in righteousness and fulfill their promises.
Thinking of this, Guan Lin couldn't help but think more deeply.
- "Perhaps... Just maybeβ'
- "If Lingju comes out, maybe she can persuade Zhang Liao, and she can also make Zhang Liao realize the danger of the situation for the first time and prepare early!"
Of course, even if Zhang Liao prepares early, this situation is still irreversible.
Because of this, Guan Lin thought of the second person.
It's a man...
This person, like his father Guan Yu, is the only one who was once in Cao Ying, but finally broke away from Cao Ying under Cao Cao's nose.
To save Zhang Liao and help Zhang Liao get out, Guan Lin needs his experience too much.
When I think of this, I immediately ... Guan Lin solemnly faced Lu Xun again.
"Bo Yan, Mr. Liu Ye mentioned a person to me before, and now he lives in seclusion on the island 'Guziyang' in the south of Jiaozhou, you have to go to Jiaozhou for me, visit this person for me!"
The only two people who retreated from under Cao Cao's nose, his experience, his understanding of Cao Cao, is what Guan Lin needs most now!

Luoyang City of Han and Wei under a magnificent sunset.
After several months of reconstruction and repair, hundreds of thousands of laborers worked day and night, making this ruined Luoyang City once again glow with the prosperity of a metropolis and the majesty of the former royal capital.
The rebuilding of the entire Luoyang City has been completed seventy percent.
The entire Luoyang City has also been renewed.
At this moment, on the majestic palace city wall, accompanied by a sonorous bell, the person who struck the bell wiped his sweat with his sleeve while hitting it.
Then, the bells of the entire city tower rang, and the mighty bells caused the bells of the entire Luoyang City to ring in unison, which was a reminder that the day's work was over...
The coolies are ready to rest!
With the sound of the bells, the coolies supported their tired bodies, stepped back from their respective posts in twos and threes, and then set up chisels in groups of three or five and began to cook.
Even if it is dark, the smoke of the cooking stove will not stop in front of you.
Cao Pi followed Li Li out of the city, only the two of them, walked through the narrow path together, the more they walked out, the more hidden this path is, the more inaccessible, incomparably desolate, but it is also the same, it shows its vicissitudes and mystery, inexplicably like a desolate strolling above the head, the cold wind is rustling, and the hairs stand on end!
But...
This gloomy and weird path made Cao Pi more and more excited, and his eyes narrowed more and more, as if he was looking forward to something, and as if he was looking forward to the end of this path!
Finally, when he arrived at the end of the road, Li Li dismounted first, pointed to the faint hole that was blocked by thatch, and said softly: "This is the secret passage that can secretly lead to Luoyang City..."
Hearing this, Cao Pi's whole person became excited, he quickly dismounted and couldn't help but step forward, through the narrow opening, only to hear the sound of "clang", the torches during the period were bright, and hundreds of shirtless strong men were especially in it, widening the stone wall in the secret passage.
It's hard to imagine that an inconspicuous hole can suddenly open up when you enter it...
"Where can I get here?" Cao Pi asked Li Li excitedly.
Li Lian replied: "It can go directly to the arsenal in the palace, and it can lead to the third dry well outside the arsenal, and that well is also made of a hidden grid, and more than a thousand people can be stored underground!" β
- Arsenal, dark grid, thousand people...
When this series of words came out, Cao Pi linked the key words in these words, and his whole person became excited, he who has always been forbearant and restrained, couldn't help but open his mouth recklessly at this moment, "That is to say, even if Zijian occupies Luoyang, we can sneak the soldiers into the palace from here and draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle!" β
As Cao Pi said, this leads to the arsenal, and you can quickly control the weapons in the palace...
There is a dark grid in the well, which can store soldiers and horses!
It is because of this secret passage that he Cao Pi suddenly has all the conditions and possibilities for "drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle", and he also has... When the situation is extremely unfavorable, the only chance to break the game is to break the game!
This secret passage leading directly to the arsenal of the Luoyang Imperial Palace was too important to him Cao Pi.
"Okay..."Cao Pi sighed again, he didn't forget to turn around, and looked at Li Cong excitedly: "Mr. Li, I, Cao Pi, are better than 100,000 male soldiers!" β
"A mere 100,000 soldiers? Can you compare to me? Zihuan Gongzi can't help but underestimate me, right? "As always, Li showed his mad side.
"Hahahaha..." This made Cao Pi laugh, he likes Li Cong, and he also likes Li Cong's arrogance, his father doesn't dare to use a madman, but he Cao Pi dares to use it!
It's just that with this smile and a smile, Cao Pi's brows suddenly condensed, as if he thought of his current situation, this precarious situation.
Just two days earlier, he had received an order from his father, Cao Cao, to secretly send an envoy to Eastern Wu to negotiate an armistice with Sun Quan of Eastern Wu.
This is nothing, but when Cao Pi asked the messenger who to send to replace him in building Luoyang, the messenger replied with the words "Zijian Gongzi"!
And this also made Cao Pi's mood suddenly covered with a thick haze.
This is also why, he can't wait to verify, verify the completion of this secret passage to Luoyang City that Li Cong secretly built, if he doesn't see it, he Cao Pi is not at ease!
Call...
At this moment, walking out of the hole, Cao Pi once again observed the pitch-black and incomparably desolate surroundings.
- "Such a desolate and hidden place... It is the least noticeable.'
- "What a place Mr. Li chose!"
Merely...
Cao Pi sighed with emotion: "Mr. Li is still powerful, your worries in the past have become a reality, my father still decided to hand over Luoyang City to Zijian in the world, and my father still prefers Zijian!" β
As he spoke, Cao Pi's tone became cold.
"Don't be afraid!" Li Lian said with emotion: "This time going south, it is also a forced move by the prime minister, isn't Yecheng still managed by the prince today?" On one side of Luoyang, on the other side of Yecheng, the position of the son of this world is especially undecided, the son must not be depressed! β
Call...
After listening to Li Cong's words, Cao Pi's mood was somewhat relieved, and then, his eyes were like torches, his hands were folded, and he gave Li Cong a heavy hand.
Li was stunned and hurriedly went to help Cao Pi. "Why did Childe make such a big gift?"
Cao Pi tried his best not to let Li Cong help him up in a gesture of giving him up, and he said vigorously: "This trip to Jiangdong, Liu Zhen and Wu Zhen will accompany me, and Zijian will arrive in Luoyang to take over the construction of the city, and next, the construction of this Luoyang City... The widening of this secret passage depends entirely on Mr. β
Hearing this, Li Yan's expression also became serious, and he solemnly replied: "Childe treats me like a national soldier, how can I lose Childe, Childe can rest assured that he will go south!" β
The two solemnly bowed to each other, Cao Pi finally stared deeply at this tunnel, he knew that he would come back in this life after all!
Maybe when he returns to Luoyang, it will be the final decisive battle between him and Zijian!
"I won't stay long, Mr. Li will stay... Tomorrow morning, I will leave for Hefei, Zijian will arrive in Luoyang tonight, I, as a brother, should also set up a banquet for him, and hand over the city here, so that my father can rest assured! β
As Cao Pi said, he should have left two days ago, but Cao Zhi didn't come, and the city here... He always needs to hand over Cao Zhi.
Although the two are competing for the son, but... A lot of face-saving projects still have to be done.
After saying goodbye, Cao Pi galloped away, and his own soldiers were already waiting there not far away.
However, after Cao Pi left, in the dark, a woman in a dark purple robe walked over, it was Lingju.
Li Liang was slightly surprised when he saw Lingju, but soon, his expression regained his composure and calmness again, and he only asked lightly: "Why did the girl come out?" β
"Listening to your conversation with that Cao Pi, it's quite interesting..."Ling Ju Wan'er smiled, and then said lightly: "If this Cao Zihuan knows, what should he think when Mr. Li dug through the tunnel?" Do you feel that you have paid the wrong gentleman? β
Lingju was originally a joke and a joke.
Who would have thought...
"Hahahaha..." This sentence successfully provoked Li Liang to laugh out loud, he did not answer Lingju's question, but asked rhetorically in a deep voice: "You Heng was different back then, and you also paid that Cao Cao and Cao Wei wrongly?" Is there less wrong payment in the world? β
Speaking of this, Li Yan turned around and looked at the entrance of the stone cave.
In fact... He dug a total of three tunnels from outside Luoyang City to the city, one for the perfunctory Cao Pi, one for the perfunctory Cao Zhi, and one for the dry well that directly led to Cao Cao's bedroom, this secret passage was for Cao Wei's funeral!
"Hehe..." Li Lian suddenly laughed lightly again, and he sighed: "It's me Li Lian who can't be beaten by this Luoyang City Railway, and it's the son of the Cao family who flows water!" β

In Shouchun City, in a quiet dormitory, Zhang Liao lifted a pot of wine and poured it into his mouth.
He frowned, with a huge Han Emperor on his forehead, and the spicy taste of the wine offset the pain in his body...
In fact, in these days of the military council, Cao Cao also noticed Zhang Liao's poor physical condition, but he didn't think about "wound infection", he just thought it was an ordinary patient.
The northerners are not accustomed to the soil and water, and they are easy to get sick when they come to Shouchun, and there are a large number of soldiers in the Tiger Ben army who have various symptoms and malaise.
Of course, Cao Cao still specially instructed Zhang Liao to consult a doctor and take medicine on time, and even sent a medical officer who used needles for him Cao Cao to diagnose Zhang Liao, but Zhang Liao refused.
"Ahh
The wine was in the stomach, and it was exchanged for a night of pleasure, but then there was a low roar, and Zhang Liao let out an extremely difficult wail.
I don't know if it's because the infected wound hurts regularly, or because of the strong night wind at night.
It's okay during the day, but every night Zhang Liao will have a heart-rending pain, and every day the pain is better than the night before.
"Take the wine, take the wine..."
Zhang Liao's roar resumed.
The guards on the side looked worried: "General, it's not a problem to drink so much..."
"You bring me wine..."Zhang Liao also knew that it was not a matter to drink like this, but the key problem was... As long as the night hurts, his body aches like the gnawing of ten thousand ants, and he must numb himself with wine.
"What about the doctor? Can I go to the doctor? The guard hurriedly asked...
At this time, another guard shook his head, "The doctors I have invited before don't dare to come!" β
It's not that I don't dare to come, but I can't cure it.
This kind of wound infection is almost a death sentence in this era, how to treat it? Who can cure.
"That group of quacks..."Zhang Liao frowned, he was desperate in his heart, he muttered in his heart, how could the medical skills of these quacks be comparable to that female doctor surnamed Zhuo?
Quack...
It's all quacks!
Just as I think about it...
"General..."Suddenly, a personal guard came up to Zhang Liao's side, and he whispered: "There is a female doctor outside the door, who said that her surname was Zhuo, and that she was the general's deceased..."
- "Miss Zhuo?"
Zhang Liao was subconsciously stunned, he just remembered Zhuo Rong, and now she... She's coming?
At this time, Zhang Liao cheered up, he endured the pain and put on his cloak, walked out of the house quickly, came to the courtyard, and anxiously searched for it.
At this time, Zhuo Rong walked out from behind the flowers and trees, wearing a hood and a cloak, and when she saw Zhang Liao, she quickly took off her hood, with a look of worry and concern.
Soon, her sad gaze collided with Zhang Liao's complicated gaze, and the two of them seemed to be frozen.
"What? How come these days, Brother Zhang just... That's it! β
Zhuo Rong's words just blurted out...
Zhang Liao seemed to be out of strength, and the whole person was about to fall to the side, Zhuo Rong hurriedly supported Zhang Liao, she hurriedly shouted: "Come and help, come and helpββ"
Zhang Liao's weak breath seemed to tremble slightly...
For a while, many pro-soldiers quickly chased after them.
"General..."
"General..."
This scene was being seen by Cao Zhen, who came to deliver medicine on Cao Cao's orders?
Cao Zhen's eyes quickly darkened, and he muttered to himself: "
- "Who is this woman?"
- "What does General Zhang have to do with this woman?"
When he thought of this, Cao Zhen, who was supposed to enter the courtyard, stopped his footsteps, and instead of continuing to step forward, he took a step back.
It seems that he is deliberately not to let the people here find him, and his eyes are blazing, and he is paying close attention to the story that is happening here!
