The river was murmuring, and smoke was floating on the river.

Guan Lin and Lu Xun were standing by the river, a cadre of soldiers beside them was waiting for them, and Lu Xun's son Lu Yan had already sent back the latest information.

"Childe, father, I just got the news, at the port of Yizhou... Lu Kai captured Sun Quan, Sun Quan was betrayed by his clansmen, he was seriously injured, and all the five thousand tiger horsemen under his command were disarmed and surrendered, and Lu Kai captured him without blood... Now I am sailing back to Koto. ”

Lu Yanyu was quite excited when he reported this...

After all, Sun Quan was caught by Lu Kai, and the Lu family is a member of the Lu family, naturally... This time, the Lu family is showing their faces greatly!

Lu Xun also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said happily: "It's good to catch it, it's finally a thrill, and it's done." ”

Guan Lin replied indifferently: "It's too early to say this. ”

As he spoke, he had already turned around and walked in the direction of the official office...

He shouted: "Mr. Lu Zijing, Mr. Sun Deng-"

Not much...

Guan Lin sat in the center of the lobby of the government office, and in front of him was the sand table of the six counties and 72 counties in Jiangdong, of which one-third of the cities and counties had already unloaded the banner of the character Wu and hung up the banner of the character "Guan" instead.

But more, but it is still a red flag.

Together, like an ocean...

It seems that in Jiangdong, more cities are still resisting.

Before Lu Su arrived, Guan Lin pointed to the sand table, and his finger pointed to the direction of Huiji City, "I heard that the soldiers and horses of Jiangdong gathered here in Huiji City, and now other cities and counties are mostly waiting, and Huiji surrenders... Then Jiangdong will completely surrender, and it will be held on... Then these cities, even if my father can fight them, will Cao Cao give us so much time? ”

Lu Yan asked suspiciously: "Sun Quan has been captured, so what is the city still holding onto?" ”

Lu Xun frowned and answered his son's doubts, "Integrity! The body is dead, the spirit is the spirit, and the soul is resolute and the ghost... Since Qu Yuan's poem "National Mourning" spread all over the world in the pre-Qin period, there has been no shortage of people who have died of observance of festivals... Perhaps..."

Speaking of this, Lu Xun pondered for a while, and then chanted a few names, "Kan Ze, Lu Fan... These are loyal and disciplined people, even if Sun Quan is captured, but they... It is better to die in battle than to surrender. ”

Kan Ze... This ancestor of pi, the great astrologer and scholar of Soochow... When he was thirteen years old, he dreamed that his name was clearly hanging in the middle of the moon, and from then on he made up his mind to be an innocent man, loyal all his life, and not to serve the two masters!

said that he would not surrender, Lu Yan still felt excusable, but Lu Fan...

"Father once told the child, didn't Lu Fan have some dislike with Sun Quan?"

Lu Yan asked curiously.

"That's right!" Lu Xun said with emotion: "In the past, when Sun Ce governed Jiangdong, Sun Quan was young, and he once asked Lu Fan for personal matters, and Lu Fan said that he would report to Sun Ce first, and he didn't dare to make a claim, so far there was a gap between the two!" ”

"That being the case... That..."

Without waiting for Lu Yan's question to be thrown again, Lu Xun continued unhurriedly: "But... After that, Sun Quan served as the county magistrate, and once took money for his own personal use, every time Sun Ce checked the accounts, it was Gong Cao Zhou Gu who helped Sun Quan write fake accounts, so that he was not questioned, Sun Quan was very happy at the time, but when he inherited his father's and brother's legacy and governed Jiangdong, he reused Lu Fan instead of Zhou Gu who made fake accounts, even if Lu Fan was honest and stern and unreasonable... But Sun Quan still compares him to the hero of the Han Dynasty's Zhongxing, 'Wu Han'! Death for a confidant... How could Lu Fan not know about Sun Quan's hard work? If there is one person in Dongwu who holds out to the end, it must be him! ”

Mention Soochow... I often can't help but think of the twelve tiger ministers of Eastern Wu and the rats of Jiangdong.

But outside of these twelve tiger ministers... Outside of the rats!

There will be many names, and they will do many great and righteous things.

Undoubtedly... Lu Fan and Kan Ze are two of them!

With Lu Xun's analysis, Guan Lin lightly pointed at the sand table and muttered: "Huiji... Huiji..."

There are two necessary conditions for the complete subjugation of Koto:

Sun quan!

Huiji!

Now that one of them has been obtained, then the second... It's imminent.

Lu Yan said anxiously, "What should I do then?" It's really not possible... Let's attack the city! Now that the Jingzhou army has all arrived in Jiangdong, there are new siege equipment... If you don't count death, it won't be difficult to capture Huiji..."

Lu Xun calmly analyzed on the side: "It's not good, Dongwu has been under Sun Quan's rule all these years... Although there is no work in opening up the territory, but the people are living quite comfortably, and they have also developed a peaceful and war-weary character, if the Jingzhou army has just arrived here to launch a war, a lot of killing, even if it is captured, in the future... The people's hearts here are not easy either! Besides, it's all like this... Just reduce unnecessary casualties as much as possible, and these soldiers will be the key to fighting Cao Cao in the north in the future! ”

Lu Xun and Lu Yan's words, Guan Lin heard them in his ears, he frowned and said nothing... Spread out the bamboo slips and looked at the letterhead sent back by the Yizhou Clipper repeatedly... Then I opened a brand new bamboo slip and slowly spread it out... Going to start writing letters.

Lu Xun watched from the sidelines, reading, "... Hopefully... Yunqi, are you writing to Huiji City again? Was this helpful? If it is surrendered... Then Lu Fan and Kan Ze have already descended..."

Guan Lin replied casually: "The horse love stack... Pingdong Wu has never fought for bravery, nor troops, but people's hearts. ”

Lu Xun was still a little worried: "But those people..."

"So I need a special messenger."

Lu Xun immediately said: "Otherwise, let me go... The Lu family is also a big family in Soochow, and they are quite famous... Maybe... I know it with reason, and I move it with emotion..."

Then...

With a "bang", the door was pushed open, and a vigorous and powerful voice came out, "I'll go!" ”

It's Lu Su...

Along with Sun Deng and Luo Tong.

Lu Su stared at Guan Lin and said solemnly, "Yunqi, in Jiangdong... When it comes to fame, who can compare to me, I will persuade Lu Fan and them to surrender, no longer make fearless resistance, and save Jiangdong from being ruined. ”

Guan Lin pursed his lips slightly, he wanted Lu Su to go... But he was afraid that the anger of these Eastern Wu ministers would burn on Lu Su's body and be unfavorable to him... I asked him to discuss, but I didn't expect it...

"Mr. Zijing, I'm worried... That Lu Fan killed people recklessly for his integrity, I don't want you to go to Shexian County, but except for you... I don't know who to send? ”

Lu Su earnestly persuaded him, "The others are humble and incredible, and it is difficult to convince the public, I will go, it will show Yunqi's sincerity, but, I want to ask Yunqi, I heard that Zhongmou has been seriously injured and his legs are gone, if he returns, how will you treat him?" ”

This sentence groans...

Sun Deng and Luo Tong's eyes were also firmly fixed on Guan Lin.

Guan Lin was silent for a moment, he got up, grabbed Lu Su, and the two walked out together.

The two rode to the river...

Guan Lin pulled out a knife and stuck it on the riverbank, and the river on this side seemed to be cut by this knife... Two trickles were formed.

Guan Lin said loudly: "I can swear by the river, my attack on Jiangdong is a forced counterattack, it is a helpless move that has been repeatedly stabbed in the back by Sun Quan, and it is also determined that under the three-legged stand, Wu and Shu are bound to die in internal friction, and they must not do it to save themselves, I occupy Jiangdong for Ansheji, save the country, do not kill indiscriminately, do not slaughter, as long as Sun Quan comes back, I will not embarrass him... Spare him his life, not to mention that his legs have been broken, and he is already a wasted person, why should I embarrass a wasted person! ”

Speaking of this, Guan Lin raised his hand, and his tone became more and more solemn, "Guan Lin will never break his word, the emperor and the queen of heaven are also a model!" ”

Lu Su looked at Guan Lin with satisfaction, and said with admiration, "You have Yunqi, you say this, Su is willing to entrust with his life to persuade Huijicheng to surrender, so that this Jiangdong can restore his peace and well-being again!" ”

This oath by the river, Lu Xun and Lu Yan who chased after him heard it clearly...

Watching Lu Su solemnly bow his hand to Guan Lin and leave, Lu Yan pondered the conversation between the two, and he suddenly turned his head, "Dad?" Will the prince of Yunqi really spare that Sun Quan? It's that his legs are ruined and ruined... But..."

Without waiting for Lu Yan to finish speaking, Lu Xun stretched out his index finger and signaled his son to silence, but Lu Xun let out a long breath and groaned: "Yunqi only said that he would not embarrass Sun Quan, but there are so many people under him, who want Sun Quan's life... That's a lot to go on! If these people want to take Sun Quan's life, Yunqi... Does he have three heads and six arms? ”

This...

was explained by Lu Xun like this, and when he boarded the time, Lu Yan seemed to understand something.

And even... Suddenly, he realized that maybe Lu Zijing was tricked by Yunqi Gongzi?

No... It's not a trick!

But... White lies!

Good to Lu Zijing, good to Jiangdong, good lies to those civil and military who surrendered!

As for Sun Quan... Perhaps, this is also a great relief!

Lu Yan just thought of this.

Guan Lin said goodbye to Lu Su and walked towards this side, and when he walked to Lu Xun's side, he paused, "Bo Yan... Pack up, let's leave tomorrow... It's time to move to Koto to take care of this post-war affair! And remember to inform the official medical department... Bring more healers with you this time... Mr. Zhongjing's disciple... Miss Ren, Miss Qiao, Uncle Wang, Du Du, Wei Xun... Bring them all! ”

…

…

Luoyang City, beyond the mountain, is heavily guarded...

Since Cao Cao took the Son of Heaven to move the capital here, countless guards have been added inside and outside the mountain, and when it comes to the degree of protection, it is several times stricter than that in Luoyang City.

As for the reason...

There is a secret of Cao Wei hidden in this, and it is also Cao Cao's certainty... In the face of that Guan Lin... The key to a turnaround against the wind.

Now...

A team of carriages drove here, stopping on a flat ground in the mountain, and Cao Cao slowly walked out of the carriage.

Granddaughter Cao Ying has been waiting here for a long time, "Weng Weng..."

Cao Cao didn't leave too many words, just asked, "Where is the lonely grandson-in-law?" ”

"Just ahead..."With Cao Ying's reply, Cao Cao stepped forward, and only Xu Chu and a group of tiger soldiers were guarding him, and the whole action seemed to be quite mysterious.

That's when ...

"Look, King..."

Xu Chu seemed to notice something, and hurriedly stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky in the direction of the side.

Cao Cao and Cao Ying both raised their heads and looked at the sky.

With the morning breeze and sunshine, the hot air balloon is ignited, the flames erupt from the base of the balloon, and the sun rises... Under the glow of the sun, the hot air balloon slowly flew up and began to rise in the sky.

At this moment, Cao Ying is okay...

Cao Cao's eyes were almost the largest, and the blazing tiger eyes on that side were full of brilliant brilliance...

Watching the hot air balloon float freely in the sky, with a touch of tranquility and elegance, and with a little comfort when breaking the game... The clouds rose and the clouds were comfortable, and this scene made Cao Cao couldn't help but laugh with relief.

"Hahaha, hahahahaha..."

For so many months, Cao Cao hadn't laughed...

This is not because of the defeat on the battlefield of Xiangfan, but because of the flying ball falling from the sky, the sea of purgatory fire... It's terrible.

In addition to letting people quickly dig tunnels and deal with them... There is nothing else to do!

This feeling of "people are swordsmen, I am fish and meat" is too painful and oppressive, so that Cao Cao can almost breathe.

Finally...

Finally, the flying ball belonging to their Great Wei can also be taken off!

So... In the past, how Guan Lin dealt with them, they could use the same method to deal with that Guan Lin.

In fact, the Great Wei reigned supreme in the land of Kyushu, and once... This flying ball method is cracked, they can recruit a large number of craftsmen, and the speed of their imitation will be extremely terrifying, and it will be a corner of Jingzhou... Irresistible.

"Okay... Okay..."

Cao Cao, who was extremely shocked in his heart, couldn't help but open his mouth and sigh.

succeeded, his son-in-law succeeded, and it was not in vain that he married his most beloved granddaughter to this Ma Jun...

Now... Cao Cao's heart was already overturned.

"Weng Weng..."Cao Ying opened his mouth and said, "Weng Weng seems to be quite happy today..."

Cao Cao smiled: "Baby, do you know, why when my Great Wei fought against the Jingzhou army, why was it always controlled by others everywhere when I was playing with that Guan Lin?" ”

Cao Ying replied without thinking: "This is because Guan Lin can always create some strange and clever things... For example, this flying ball can show all the troop deployments and ambushes of our army at a glance. Da Wei is too backward! ”

"That's right!" Cao Cao nodded slowly, "The enemy is in the dark, I am in the light, such a battle, Lone is ten times or a hundred times the soldiers and horses of that Guan Lin, and it is not easy to fight, and what is even more terrifying is that it has been a whole year, in the face of that Guan Lin's flying ball, Lone and Da Wei Wenwu are at a loss, and there is no chance of countermeasures!" Fancheng, Wancheng, Xuducheng... Lone wants to recover, as long as the enemy's flying ball is there, Dawei can only look at the city and sigh..."

Speaking of this, Cao Cao's body was shocked, and he raised his eyes again to see the flying ball flying wantonly in the air, "But because of this lonely grandson-in-law... Because of the successful imitation of this flying ball, Guan Lin can monitor Lone's every move at the same time, Lone can also monitor his Guan Lin's every move, he Guan Lin can set fire to the sky, and Lone can also burn the city with flames... Even Lone can pour the power of the Great Wei to burn Xuchang, Wancheng, Fancheng, and Xiangyang City at the same time! In this way, those Guan family troops, those Jingzhou troops, those rebels... Day and night are precarious, and in the future... They are the ones who are in a perpetual nightmare! ”

"Lone was subject to that Guan Lin before, and he was beaten passively everywhere, but now, from today on, Lone wants to turn passive into active, and let that Guan Lin taste the horror brought by this flying ball!"

Call...

Hearing this, Cao Ying sighed... He couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at the sky.

To tell the truth, she doesn't have much affection for Ma Jun.

Even, such a strange man suddenly became her husband, which made her for a while... are unacceptable.

Can... During this time, Ma Jun spared no effort to imitate the flying ball, and even today it has been a great success.

Add Weng Weng Cao Cao's words... This made Cao Ying can't help but change her attitude towards Ma Jun again.

Having said that, this is the third time since the wedding that her attitude towards Ma Jun has changed, and each time it is more progressive.

"Weng Weng... My husband has finished flying the ball, and then... It's time to recruit skilled craftsmen and produce this flying ball on a large scale! ”

"Yes!" Cao Cao bowed his head heavily, and he looked at Xu Chu beside him, "Tiger Hou..."

"The end will be."

"Spread the will of Gu, the entire Great Wei Dynasty recruited skilled craftsmen to come to Mangdang Mountain to support Ma Jun, and in addition, named Ma Jun as the 'Marquis of Wandering'..."

After giving these orders, Cao Cao looked at Cao Ying again, "Baby, Gu will find 3,000 skilled craftsmen for your husband, and you will want your husband to produce thousands of flying balls and train thousands of flying ball soldiers within two months... Two months later, Lone wants to fly balls all over the sky, and Lone wants to let Guan Lin taste the sea of purgatory..."

Hearing this, Cao Ying quickly surrendered his hand, "Weng Weng rest assured..."

That's when it happened.

"Newspaper, my lord... Oh no, General Xu Huang and General Wen Yuan failed to break through Shucheng in Lujiang, Guan Yu and Mi Fang drove straight into Jingzhou with the commander of Jingzhou, and they had already conquered Wuhu Port, and ... Jianye City should be combined inside and outside, and Jianye City should be surrendered... Half of the entire Jiangdong has been attributed to Jingzhou..."

Not...

Cao Cao was slightly stunned.

Of course... This piece of information is unexpected, but it is reasonable.

Cao Cao never felt... Zhang Liao or Xu Huang can have the upper hand in the game with this pair of Guan family father and son...

However, he had to send Zhang Liao and Xu Huang to disrupt the situation.

At the end of the day, his goal wasn't to get a piece of Koto's pie... It's procrastination!

Procrastination... Buy time for his son-in-law Ma Jun to crack this flying ball method.

Now... It seems that it is all worth it.

"Huh!"

Cao Cao laughed faintly, and he asked, "Where is Xu Huang now?" ”

"Lu'an County, north of the Lujiang River...", this soldier reported truthfully.

Cao Cao closed his eyes, and his mind seemed to have unfolded a map, that Lu'an was a city close to Lujiang Shucheng... And now, Guan Lin is still in Gangneung.

Suddenly, Cao Cao seemed to notice something...

"Pass Gu's order to General Xu Huang to send a secret sentry to keep an eye on Guan Lin's actions... The current situation in Jiangdong, then Guan Lin is bound to rush to Jiangdong, and he can only take the waterway..."

This...

Even if Cao Cao didn't make it clear, the intention... But it couldn't be more obvious that he wanted Xu Huang to intercept and kill Guan Lin.

Jiangdong can be lost, but, Guan Si must die-

Can... Then there's a problem, the whistle... I'm afraid that with Guan Lin's identity now, it is difficult for the secret whistle to find out his specific whereabouts, right?

"Weng Weng...", Cao Ying also noticed this, and hurriedly reminded: "Weng Weng, Guan Lin's identity is special, I'm afraid he won't easily reveal his whereabouts... The words of the dark whistle..."

"Haha..."Before Cao Ying finished speaking, Cao Cao smiled, he raised his head and looked at the flying ball in the sky, then stretched out his hand and pointed at the flying ball, and then said with a smile: "It will tell us the whereabouts of that Guan Lin——"

That's right...

If at this time, a flying ball can be set up over the Lujiang River, and the ships on the Yangtze River can be in full view.

Guan Lin... He does have a special identity, if he goes to Jingzhou, he must be sent by the fleet, lock his position from the heavenly dome, and then let Xu Huang devote all his strength to the Great Wei Sailor to intercept and kill him.

In this way, Cao Cao felt... The chances of success are great!

"Weng Weng Gao Mi... Granddaughter understood..."Cao Ying looked at Cao Cao with admiration...

She suddenly realized that the sea of purgatory fire caused by Guan Lin with the flying ball before was a "surprise".

Same... Today's Guan Lin won't know that Dawei has developed a flying ball, so... It's also a surprise!

Maybe... It works wonders!

- "Weng Weng is so scheming!"

Ha ha...

At this moment, Cao Cao was still smiling, laughing extremely relieved, and his eyes narrowed into a slit.

As if to say...

- "Guan Si, Guan Si, you tortured the lonely in the past, and the lonely will all be returned to you!"

Speaking of this, Cao Cao's eyes opened in vain, and the essence in the sac of the cone of his eyes flickered...

Sharp, sharp, biting, cold!

…

It's just that...

Where does Cao Cao know.

At this time, in Luoyang City, one side of the mansion...

Under the thin morning light, Li Cong was squinting and raised his head to look at the sky.

A few beggars outside the inn didn't care about begging, their eyes seemed to be attracted by something in the sky, and they were even dumbfounded...

Lingju and Guan Xing, who were at the exit of the tunnel, also raised their heads and looked up at the sky... It seemed that something caught their eye deeply.

Almost at the same time...

These people chanted the same sentence in their hearts in unison.

- "It turns out that Ma Jun is imitating a flying ball in Mangdang Mountain!"

…

It was also under this thin morning light.

Sima Fang, the master of Sima Mansion in Luoyang City, hurriedly broke into Sima Yi's room.

Zhang Chunhua was playing with Sima Yi, but when he saw his father's expression, he immediately found an excuse to walk out of the room and give up this room to his husband and father-in-law.

With the footsteps of "stepping", Zhang Chunhua walked away...

Sima Fang hurriedly took out an object from his arms, to be precise, a letterhead, and handed it to Sima Yi.

"Daddy? This is? ”

Sima Yi was puzzled, and asked while unfolding the letterhead.

Sima Fang said solemnly, "Do you remember the cicada that your father mentioned to you?" ”

This...

Sima Yi paused, "Father's chilling cicada... Wasn't it seen through by a child? That's just my Sima family and Yingchuan's big clan,

A clan alliance united by the great clans of Yuzhou... Far from being a thousand-year-old organization, why did my father mention this again? ”

"Indeed... My father deceived you by making up lies in order to let you enter this alliance, but..."Sima Fang's tone became extremely solemn, and his tone became more meticulous, "But there is one thing, I didn't lie to you..."

"What?"

"Look at this letter first..."

Under Sima Fang's reminder, Sima Yi opened the letter, and the impressive words on it made Sima Yi stunned.

It seemed like it had taken ten breaths before he came to his senses, "How could my father have that Guan Lin's whereabouts?" Still is... Or is it the waterway route he rushed from Gangneung to Gangdong..."

"I told you," Sima Fang said solemnly, "he has people from our clan alliance by his side... It's a small and insignificant role, but... What does it do..."

Sima Yi suddenly had a creepy feeling.

He pursed his lips, "Dad, you gave me this information... Do what? ”

"You can pretend not to know, or you can tell Cao Cao this information..."Sima Fang squinted, "Since I regard you as the next helmsman in this Yuzhou Alliance, then... The choice is yours! ”

This...

Sima Yi's hands trembled a little.

It is no exaggeration to say that this Guan Lin's itinerary, if used well, is enough... Kill it with one hit!

However, for the Alliance, at this time... Can you kill Guan Lin?

More harm than good?

Or do the pros outweigh the cons?
