Chapter 473: He's Not Trying to Kill, But Killing His Heart—
There is an endless stream of fragrant cars and BMWs on the street, and the voices of people are still boiling.
The mockery and ridicule of Zhuge Ke continued.
It's just that since Zhuge Jin stepped out of the carriage, Zhuge Ke's attention was all on his father.
Having said that, after the succession, Zhuge Ke has not seen Zhuge Liang, the titular "father", but has seen his biological father again and again.
Every time, it is still in such a special environment, and the world is really impermanent.
With Zhuge Ke's voice, "Dad, why are you here?" ”
It seems that this pair of "father and son" who are destined to be inseparable in the will of heaven are about to start their dialogue.
Who would have thought...
When a rich man on a horse passed by the carriage, the horse was startled, spread its front hooves and neighed, and then ran and jumped.
The crowd screamed and hurriedly got out of the way, someone had already been knocked down, and there was chaos on the field...
The rich and noble man was startled and tried to control the reins, but seeing that the horse was about to crash into Zhuge Jin's side, the situation was critical.
Zhuge Ke jumped on the crazy horse, tightened the reins hard, and the horse spun around in place a few times, and finally... The rich man patted the horse's neck and gently soothed it, which calmed it down.
Zhuge Ke turned over and dismounted...
Zhuge Jin let out a long breath.
At this moment, in the distance, a young general dressed as a martial artist came running quickly.
"Brother Wei? Right? ”
The Brother Wei he shouted was naturally this rich and noble son, and I saw this rich and noble son reply, "I'm fine..."
He didn't bother to clean up the dust on his clothes, and walked respectfully in front of Zhuge Ke, "If it weren't for Gongzi to lend a hand, I'm afraid this horse would be difficult to control. ”
- Wei Wei, a native of Peiguo.
The record in ancient literature is that he is eloquent and resourceful.
Because he has an excellent reputation in Yecheng, he was valued by Zhong Xiang of Xiangguo, and was conquered as Xicao Peng, the mansion of Xiangguo.
Of course, there is a small episode in between.
Once Liu Ye went to Xiangguo's mansion and saw this young man, after a few words of conversation, Liu Ye turned around and whispered to Zhong Xuan that this person has the talent to confuse the public, and he will definitely rebel in the future if he tilts Yecheng.
And Liu Ye is not the only one who said this.
Fu Xun is the great critic of Cao Wei who rated Pang Tong as an "incomplete hero" and Pei Qian as a "well-known Quartet in good conduct".
He also commented on Wei sarcasm as "rebellion is a matter of time or time"!
Zhuge Ke didn't know this, he only felt that the son in front of him was quite polite.
It's just that after learning that he was "Wei Wei", Zhuge Ke raised his head violently, as if he was looking at the son in front of him in particular, but... This expression only happens in the middle of a day.
Soon, Zhuge Ke reined in his mind and solemnly bowed his hand in return, "Below, Langya Zhuge Ke, the character Yuan Xun, is just a gesture, Your Excellency doesn't need to take it to heart..."
This is not far or near, neither hasty nor impatient.
Even if Zhuge Ke has some purpose in his heart, at least, between his words... Didn't show a single thing.
"Oh, it turned out to be Zhuge Yuanxun, lately... Brother Yuan Xun is famous in Xu Capital City! Next... Chen Yi, the captain of Changle Guard, thank you Brother Zhuge for saving me Brother Wei! ”
This time it was the martial artist next to Wei Wei who spoke, named Chen Yi.
It stands to reason that both of them were on an errand in Yecheng, the capital of Wei.
This time... It was ordered to bring Yecheng soldiers and horses to support Xu Ducheng.
Of course, they only brought 3,000 men, a small detachment of all the support troops.
"If nothing else, then... If there is something important in the future, it will be rude and leave first. Zhuge Ke didn't talk to the two too much, and as he spoke, he looked back at his father Zhuge Jin at the carriage again.
Wei Wei and Chen Yi noticed Zhuge Jin...
This envoy of Eastern Wu to Xudu, they are naturally no strangers.
The two exchanged glances, and immediately... Say goodbye to this pair of Zhuge father and son, this pair of messengers belonging to different camps.
It seems that this is like a small episode, Zhuge Ke has no intention of getting acquainted with Wei Wei and Chen Yi.
Wei Wei and Chen Yizi can't afford to stick a cold ass with a hot face.
Both sides maintained their unique tacit understanding and peace.
Until...
Zhuge Ke got into the carriage, and Wei Wei and Chen Yi drove away on horseback.
Chen Yi suddenly stopped the horse, he first looked around and made sure that there was no one nearby, before he turned his head to look at Wei Wei, "Brother Wei?" Just now... I listened to what you mean, I intend to get acquainted with the young son of the Langya Zhuge clan, if my guess is right, this is related to Brother Wei's plan to seize and punish the thief, right? ”
"You're still hearing it." Wei Wei did not hide it, in fact, in his consciousness, Chen Yi, the captain of Changle Guard, had long been a grasshopper in the same boat as him.
Of course...
Where does Wei Wei know.
Historically, in the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an, that is, two years later, it was because of Chen Yi... This he firmly believed, this he thought was the betrayal of a person on a boat, so that his plan to attack the Wei capital Yecheng was leaked, and he was finally killed, and thousands of people were seated in a row-
It is no exaggeration to say that Wei Wei's rebellion is already the last time that the Han court has been within Cao Wei...
It is also the most promising and majestic rebellion!
Yui-alas!
Of course, these are all historical records...
Today, the scales of fate have turned.
After listening to Wei Wei's words, Chen Yi reminded, "Recently, the streets of Xu Capital City are all the words of this Zhuge Gongzi!" He has been ridiculed and ridiculed! ”
Wei Wei didn't seem to mind these words at all, he only said lightly, "Zhuge Ke is from Jingzhou, behind his back... It's Guan Lin, our plan... Can't do without this Guan family! ”
Speaking of which...
Wei Wei turned his head, and Yaoyao looked at Zhuge Jin's carriage that was slowly walking away.
For a while, a heavy thought jumped into my heart.
"I still have to find another way to get acquainted with this Zhuge Gongzi—"
Here, Wei Wei and Chen Yi have already gone away.
Over there, Zhuge Ke got into Zhuge Jin's carriage.
Zhuge Jin, as a father, gently patted Zhuge Ke's shoulder, "It's good, it seems... In Jingzhou, after some training, in addition to earning a lot of merits, the courage and kung fu have also increased a lot, this is what Puyu should look like! ”
It's like...
As his own son and eldest son, Zhuge Jin's love for Zhuge Ke is far beyond the position of Soochow and Jingzhou.
He was glad to see his son...
Seeing this son grow up and mature a lot.
Even if this son, nominally, is no longer his son.
"Hasn't my father answered me?" Zhuge Ke raised his eyes, it was obvious that he valued his position more than family affection, and he was also very obsessed with the current situation.
The messenger of Soochow... It seems, anyway ... Nor should it be here.
And carriages, servants!
This kind of treatment, which is completely different from his Zhuge Ke, is meaningful!
Of course, Zhuge Jin could understand his son's words.
He pondered for a moment, but asked rhetorically, "Then I ask you?" Jingzhou... Knowing that Gan Xingba is a national thief of Soochow? But why did Gan Xingba appear in Jingzhou? Harboring national thieves... So where did the Guan family father and son put the Sun-Liu Alliance? ”
This... Undoubtedly, Zhuge Jin answered Zhuge Ke's words in another way.
Meaning... Don't find out some things, is the Sun-Liu Alliance of today or the Sun-Liu Alliance of the past?
Call...
Zhuge Ke let out a long breath, how could he not know... The Sun-Liu alliance has always been fragile.
Today's alliance is a window paper that can be broken at the first stab.
This is a decision of the current situation, and there is no going back.
With this in mind...
Zhuge Ke coughed lightly and said, "In that case, I shouldn't have gotten into my father's car..."
Zhuge Jin's voice looked a little old, "You should call me uncle!" Or... Call me the envoy of Soochow. ”
"It's... It's the younger generation who is negligent. Zhuge Ke respectfully bowed his hand, "If there is nothing else to do uncle, then the junior will leave first... After all, in this Xudu, a Jingzhou envoy, a Dongwu envoy, our meeting... It's inevitable to be criticized! ”
It seems that Zhuge Ke only used one word... successfully widened the distance between him and his biological father.
"Parking—"
Without waiting for Zhuge Jin to respond, Zhuge Ke shouted, and the groom hurriedly stopped the horse.
Zhuge Ke took one last look at his biological father, and then resolutely got out of the carriage.
But the moment he got out of the car, Zhuge Jin spoke.
"Stay..."
Not... Zhuge Ke didn't look back, but his footsteps were frozen, and he replied in a businesslike tone: "Does the envoy of Dongwu have anything else to explain?" ”
This rejection of people thousands of miles away made Zhuge Jin slightly stunned.
Then, he sighed "sigh", and then said softly: "Yuan Xun, I have heard a little about your negotiation with the King of Wei as an envoy of Jingzhou... I don't know why you're making such unbelievable and unashamed conditions... I don't know if this was your improvisation or the order of Guan Lin, but I want to remind you..."
Speaking of this, Zhuge Jin paused, "Jingzhou is about to come to a catastrophe, take back your conditions, otherwise... Whether it's you or that Guan Jia Shiro, you will become the laughing stock of the world! ”
Call...
Zhuge Jin's words were ruthless, but inexplicable... It's like ... Sticking to a cloud of kindness.
It's like in the old days, as a father's respectful teaching to his son, or a harsh reprimand...
These words made Zhuge Ke open his lips slightly, and he seemed to have something to say.
But in the end, he still held back the throbbing in his heart and held back... The task given to him by the cloud banner hidden in his heart.
He only left two words faintly: "Thank you!" ”
Then he walked away without looking back.
Just as Zhuge Ke walked away, a retinue of Zhuge Jin walked to Zhuge Jin's side, "Sir... Sir, don't bother with this... Child, after going out, his position has changed... The heart is far away! ”
Zhuge Jin shook his head, and his tone became a little stiffer: "How could I be because of him... Annoying labor! ”
This...
The entourage was silent for a moment, and then followed Zhuge Jin together, looking at Zhuge Ke's figure gradually moving away, he reminded lightly: "It seems... According to the agreed day, tomorrow will be General Lü Meng's raid on Jingzhou... It is also the time when the father and son of the Guan family are attacked in the real sense! ”
"Ugh..."
With a faint sigh, how could Zhuge Jin forget this, but... He was more worried about Ke'er.
He wanted Cao Cao to cede the territory south of Xudu, and now... It has been ridiculed and ridiculed countless times.
Hehe... Really wait for the day when Jingzhou will be attacked by the enemy tomorrow!
That...
Ke'er will be completely reduced to a joke!
Reduced to a joke of the thirteen states of the Great Han! ”
…
…
Pinglu City, the city to which the Yankou River, the Yanzhan Gang, the Yujiagang, the Tuanshanpu, together with the Tang River, the Bai River, the Xiaoqing River and the Putuogou, Huanglonggou and Heilonggou in the northwest, will lead to.
This is also the history of Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army and captured the cities of Pang De and Yu Ban.
Speaking of which, this place is not as strong as Fancheng, it is very close to the Han River, and the big water is coming... It is easy to break down the walls.
But because it is too close to the "reservoir" dug by Cao Wei, this reservoir is the key to this battle.
Therefore, even though the city was extremely dangerous, Xu Huang resolutely brought 30,000 people to garrison here.
The entire interior of the city is filled with sandbags...
A new wall was laid down almost with sandbags.
It's just that...
Xu Huang never dreamed that the water didn't come... But the periphery seemed to be bombarding.
"General... You see..."
An adjutant general defending the city, pointing at the fire on the periphery of the city.
This is the fourth city that Xu Huang has walked through overnight.
Because... The inside of the city did not ignite, so Xu Huang had the time and space to direct the soldiers to move the sandbags and rush to the top of the city tower.
Oh, my God...
Oh, my God!
Even if Xu Huang climbed to the top of the city for the fourth time, what he saw at the east, west, south, and north gates was the same fire, and the fire was almost close to the city... The outer walls had weak spots, and they had been burned down.
Every time Xu Huang saw this scene, he couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.
"Oh my God—"
In this case, the fire on the periphery almost isolated the entire Pinglu City from the outside world, Xu Huang didn't know how Fancheng and Yuncheng were, but he knew... He must not be able to get out.
"General... The last general doesn't understand that the enemy's air attack and fire attack are another surprise attack... Why not... Why don't you just set fire to Pinglu City? Why... Why bother on the periphery? Be... Is it the enemy's mercy? ”
In the face of the words of the adjutant ... Xu Huang scolded: "Kind fart..."
He has fought against Guan Lin, and he has also experienced the battle in Jingzhou, and he has experienced the almost capture of Guan Yu...
He is too familiar with Guan Lin... This kid is very bad in his bones.
Death at his hands... No... He died under his fire and under the rain of arrows, and there were 80,000 if not 100,000!
How could he be merciful, he was merciful with a hammer!
So... Why, instead of bombing Pinglu City indiscriminately, he burned the periphery to the greatest extent to hit the morale of the area and make the soldiers here desperate?
Xu Huang doesn't know what the reason is... But he is sure that Guan Lin, a stinky boy, is not holding back a good fart!
It is precisely the unknown that is the most frightening.
"General, that's... So we... Are we in this city, to be slaughtered? ”
The adjutant generals spoke with infinite deflatment.
They looked at Xu Huang with great eagerness, Xu Huang was staring at him, and he groaned heavily, "People are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, do we still have a choice?" In addition to throwing ourselves into the sea of purgatory, we also... Is there a choice? ”
In a sentence, it is full of helplessness, confusion, hesitation, loss, frustration...
With the addition of the general emotion, Xu Huang's whole person almost collapsed, and he fought for half his life... I have never fought such an aggrieved person, and I have never fought this kind of helpless person who is slaughtered by others.
"General..."
"Shut your mother's mouth—"
Faced with the adjutant general's questioning, Xu Huang's response was extremely sharp.
It's like releasing all the anger and pain he is feeling at the moment...
"Will..."
"Your grandmother's stinky mouth will also be shut up for me-"
Xu Huang's cold tone and frost-like cheeks formed the most stark contrast with the scorching temperature for a while, and this expression was like a dead father.
Or a child... The kind that lost his father, was lonely, alone, and slept in the open!
…
The morning light is twilight, and the reservoir dug by Cao Wei in four months from Pinglu City...
Night...
The Jingzhou soldiers who fell from the sky, like hungry tigers fighting wolves, rushed here.
Cao Wei's defenders in the reservoir only heard the Malay report that the four prefectures of Pinglu City were all on fire... The entire city of Pinglu is completely cut off from this reservoir.
It was when these Wei troops were stunned.
An even more powerful piece of information arrived...
It was Fancheng and Yuncheng that were ignited by a sea of fire from the sky, and the entire city was ignited by fire, and all the soldiers of the Wei army were trapped in it and could not escape.
This...
This...
At this moment, these Wei troops stationed in the reservoir are completely stupid, they are about 3,000 people, what are they going to do now? The point is... Even if the sluice gate is opened now to release water, the water level is not enough to save Pinglu City, let alone Yuncheng and Fancheng.
What's more, there is no order from the two generals, Cao Ren and Xu Huang... Who dares to open the floodgates and release water?
Just when they were confused...
Just when they were worried about whether the fire that day would burn to them.
Suddenly...
A Jingzhou army that sharpened its knives was like crazy, slashing indiscriminately and destroying the ancient era.
They didn't expect it at all...
At this time, there will be a surprise attack of the enemy!
Seem... With the fire, this raid is also reasonable, right?
But why? No one thought about it, no one guarded against it?
Be... Is it chaotic to care?
By the time they came back to their senses, these Jingzhou soldiers with green eyes had already come to the front... Destroy the ancient decay, disembowelment!
Murderous faces, without a trace of mercy.
When the dawn light shone down, when the sky was bright, the reservoir had been occupied by the Jingzhou army.
A middle-aged man with a teenager slowly walked out of the crowd.
The middle-aged man is Lu Xun, and the young man is his son Lu Yan...
"Daddy... The reservoir has been successfully captured, but... I don't understand, Yunqi Gongzi deliberately let go of the three Wei troops in Pinglu City, at this time, shouldn't we take the Lu family army to besiege Pinglu City? What if the fire was gone and they fled? ”
It was Lu Yan who spoke, as if he still had a little bit of worry.
Lu Xun glanced at his son, and then explained to him: "Pinglu City can't run, not to mention what the periphery of Pinglu City will be burned into, just the residual poisonous smoke can't be dispersed for ten days and a half months, at this time, anyone in Pinglu City who escapes is tantamount to death..."
"On the contrary, it is this reservoir, Cao Ren and Xu Huang thought that if they set up a watchtower, they would be able to spy on the hot air balloon in the sky, but they didn't know... The height of the hot air balloon can pass over the clouds, from below... Where can I see it? Because of this, in fact, from the very beginning, all the deployments of the Wei army were under our noses..."
I see...
Lu Yan understands it, and now... The Jingzhou army, which has mastered air supremacy, is invincible, and the only thing that can be cracked is water... Water can extinguish fire!
Therefore, they must take the cistern first...
According to Guan Lin, the excavation of this reservoir is water diversion and irrigation, but if it is not excavated, it has a flood control effect!
Equivalent...
Morning... Guan Lin was sure that Xiangfan's final belongings must be on his side, so he asked Wei Jun to do four months of hard work for him in vain to complete this flood control move!
- "Clever and clever!"
Thinking of this, Lu Yan couldn't help but smack his mouth!
However, Lu Yan is a person who loves to think, his father said so, he thought of "Wei Jun as a coolie", and then... He had a new question.
He hurriedly asked, "Dad... Actually, I still have a question, what do you think... Yunqi Gongzi used such painstaking labor, and he cheated to death, and used the second general to dig a reservoir to cover... This... Why bother? ”
When he said the three words "why bother", Lu Yan's expression was full of doubts.
Lu Xun looked at him and motioned for him to continue.
Lu Yan expressed all the questions in his heart, "Flying balls are all over the sky, purgatory is full of fire, and the beacon is full of fire... That's pretty much crushing, isn't it? Directly bright, bright... The flying ball is in front, the army is behind, and it is pressed on it vigorously, don't say that it is a small Fancheng, it is Xudu, it is Luoyang, and it is Yecheng, right? Throughout the ages, whether it is Emperor Qin, or Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, whether it is Liehou Weiqing, or the champion Hou Huo Quai, or the murderous Bai Qi? They... Who can deal with this hot air balloon? Can prevent this sea of purgatory... So..."
In the end, Lu Yan raised his eyes, "I'm thinking... Yunqi Gongzi doesn't have to go to such great lengths, obviously... The army can be overwhelmed! ”
After listening to my son's insights...
Lu Xun nodded first, and then shook his head, "You can think of these proofs by using your brain, thinking... But you only think of these things, to prove that your vision is not enough, for the Father and ask you? Do you think this hot air balloon is invincible? With this flying ball alone, can Xu Du and Luoyang be recovered? ”
"Can't you?" Lu Yan hurriedly asked.
"This hot air balloon has a weakness." Undoubtedly, Lu Xun's vision and experience are far better than that of his son Lu Yan.
At this moment, he looked at his son solemnly, and then asked him, "What if, you know in advance, someone uses a hot air balloon and this sea of purgatory fire to deal with our Lu Jiajun?" What will you do? ”
"I..." Lu Yan thought about this for the first time, he pondered for a moment, and then said slowly: "I will let the soldiers disperse... Paying close attention to the sky, once you see the flying ball, you will immediately disperse the formation, break it into pieces, and so on... No matter how powerful the flying ball's sea of purgatory fire is, it is impossible to burn Lu Jiajun..."
"That's not the answer." Lu Xun looked at his son happily, and his tone changed: "So... Do you think that the cloud flag is just a flying ball in the sky, just the fact that the water villa produces hot air balloons in large quantities? Nope..."
Lu Xun's words became solemn, "You all know that if you break it into parts, you can crack the attack of the hot air balloon, doesn't Cao Cao know?" Cao Ren will not know! In fact... Yunqi is for Cao Cao, for Cao Ren to weave a net, step by step to trap them, lure them into the cage, and then collect all the Wei troops in the entire Jingxiang in this cage..."
Speaking of this, Lu Xun's words became quite harsh, "Take 10,000 steps back and say, the flying ball can burn Fancheng because there are no people here, but do you think the cloud flag can make the flying ball burn Xuchang?" Burn Luoyang? Burn Yecheng? To know... In addition to Cao Jun, there are millions of living beings there... He just ignored the infamy behind him and insisted on being a murderous demon king, but would Guan Yunchang ignore his son's reputation? Can Yunqi pass Liu Xuande's benevolent level? ”
"Cao Cao, Sun Quan, Liu Bei... Three-legged, Liu Bei relies on benevolence and benevolence for the people! ”
Lu Xun's voice grew louder and louder.
Lu Yan's eyes also widened.
Finally, after the extreme emotion, Lu Xun's voice slowed down, and he said lightly, "So, this is also the reason why Guan Lin wants to leave Xu Huang and the 30,000 Wei army, he threw the problem to Cao Cao and exchanged Xuchang for the 30,000 Wei army... The pressure, the morale of the army, and the pressure of the people's prestige are all on Cao Cao's side! ”
"And this is the ultimate part of the Cloud Banner Project, he doesn't want to kill people, he wants to punish the heart-"
