The river that boiled because of the fire once again burned and cooked tens of thousands of Wei soldiers, as well as the Huainan Navy who was most familiar with the terrain here!

Countless corpses floated in the middle of the river.

That cooked taste... It makes people smell disgusting, but it has become the most delicious food for fish and turtles in the river.

The river is still rolling eastward, but the people here... But he can no longer find his way home.

The northern border of the Lujiang River, Lu'an County.

The sound of horses' hooves is messy...

An unkempt man, with dozens of guards behind him, is galloping...

The defenders on the tower of the city had just heard the news of "Jiang Xin's ambush defeat", and at this time... Every soldier of the Wei army had some taste of the bow and snake shadow, and when he heard the sound of horses' hooves under the city tower, he couldn't help but get nervous.

The captain at the head shouted tremblingly: "Who is here?" ”

Seem...

These defenders... Fear of enemy attacks! Even if it's only a few dozen rides.

Afraid of one's own shadow!

The entire north of the Lujiang River is full of wind and noise.

"It's me, Xu Huang, open the door..."

A hoarse voice sounded...

The person who came was Xu Huang, but at this moment, his whole person was gray, as if he had walked out of the coal, and so did the guards behind him...

The whole thing looks like it's extremely embarrassing.

Speaking of which, early this morning... Xu Huang's Huainan Navy fell for Guan Lin's tricks, and the entire fleet... More than 20,000 people were surrounded by the fire.

The situation is dire.

Xu Huang almost felt fatal... Just stay here.

Loss... At the last moment, some guards found a small boat in the enemy's fireboat, Xu Huang and these guards quickly boarded the boat, and only then did they pick up a life.

This small boat was supposed to be used for the last escape of the sailors on the "fire ship".

But I didn't expect Xu Huang to attack so decisively, and those sailors who stayed behind at the end were already disemboweled, before they could board the boat to escape.

In this way, Xu Huang can be regarded as picking up a life.

But... He fled back in disarray, but... Those Huainan naval forces who fought with him, can they come back?

"Crunch..."

In the twilight, the silent door slowly opened, seemingly... It was because of Xu Huang's return that the defenders in the city were a little more energetic.

But...

With a "bang", after entering the city gate, Xu Huang turned over and dismounted... Then, he turned around, and there was another "click", and he knelt, and he knelt in the direction of the river.

"It's gone... Tens of thousands of soldiers, more than a hundred ships ... Only... That's it! ”

"I'm a sinner... sinners..."

As he spoke, Xu Huang was about to pull out his knife and commit suicide... But when he touched his waist, he found that his general's saber had long been lost!

He subconsciously went to get the axe again, but... The "stone axe" was also lost...

"Heh..."

Xu Huang couldn't help but smile bitterly.

A general, who even lost his own weapons, even killed himself... They didn't have any blades with them.

Satirize...

This is the ultimate irony-

"Xu Gongming, what are you doing?"

At this time, Zhang Liao's voice came from afar... He had not yet been cured, but he was able to go to the ground.

He already knew about this defeat, and he seemed to see through the grief in Xu Huang's heart at a glance, and he roared loudly: "Isn't it just a defeat? For more than a year... Who has not been defeated in the entire Great Wei generals? Komeito... Why should you be vain! ”

Zhang Liao's words are a bit heart-wrenching!

But... That's just the way it is.

The good news is that this said... made Xu Huang feel much better.

…

…

Today's Wuhu port is a bit cold.

In the street, a man in rags appeared, and people always avoided such beggars like snakes and scorpions.

It's just that... At this time, the attention of the people is focused on the new announcement of the Jiangdong Change, and no one pays attention to an unkempt beggar.

The beggar carried a parcel on his back, not a parcel to be exact, but more like a profane garment (the woman's underwear, the predecessor of the belly pocket) that had been hung outside the house by some unknown person, and now it seemed that the red profane garment had almost been dyed pitch brown.

The beggar went to the harbor, stretched out his hand, parted his unkempt hair, and revealed a face full of filth, and a pair of eyes, with tears streaming down.

From Jianye City to Wuhu Port, although the distance is not far, he not only has to avoid the pursuit of the city, but also to raise the entanglement on the road, but also to hide his face, all the way to this side is not easy.

Undoubtedly, this beggar is Cao Pi.

Jianye fell, and the soldiers of Eastern Wu who guarded him naturally scattered birds and beasts, and he took advantage of the chaos to escape from the city.

The good news is... He was finally free, and he no longer had to be slaughtered.

The bad news is... It's thousands of miles away from Great Wei, and he... How is he going to go back?

From Jianye to Wuhu, even if it is only a journey of more than 200 miles, after losing the title of the envoy of the Great Wei and the son of the King of Wei, no one regards him as a thing. He... He finally arrived at the port of Wuhu.

As long as you can cross the river, you can get to Huainan...

That... That's Da Wei's territory, he... He will be able to escape.

In the package beside him, in addition to some food that he fought for with the dog, there were also two small boxes, which were the ashes of his good brothers Wu Zhen and Liu Zhen.

Because of the changes in the current situation and the anger of Sun Quan, Wu Zhen and Liu Zhen were killed alive in front of him Cao Pi.

No one collected the corpses for them, so Cao Pi spent a lot of money... Find ways to buy their corpses and have them cremated.

Leaving such a little bit of ashes, he wants to bring the ashes of this brother back to Dawei, they have died in a foreign land, and he must let them return to their roots.

Cao Pi is a person who values love and righteousness.

But... The reality is that he Cao Pi... There is not even money to cross the river!

Who would have thought that the son of the dignified Wei is now trapped by money...

Of course, Cao Pi is very experienced, and he has found a way to make money that is unkempt and can evade the pursuit of officers and soldiers - begging!

He seemed to be very experienced, first carefully put the burden on the ground, so as not to scatter the burden, and then 'wow', and then silently sobbed, his hands were in the sky, his knees were on the ground, and he knocked his head to the ground like a chicken pecking rice...

"Okay, all the old ladies are okay..."

From time to time, people look at him pitifully and will drop a few copper plates.

However, the officers and soldiers who were ordered to hunt down Cao Pi came and went, but no one interrogated the beggar...

Who would have thought that the dignified son of Wei would be reduced to the point of being a beggar.

No one would have thought that the son of Da Wei could shout those humble begging words to the extreme:

"Take a look, take a look, there's a poor man here—"

"Hello aunt, good uncle, poor poor bastard-"

"Give me a cake, give a mouthful of food, and wish you a long life and good health—"

Cao Pi shouted loudly, his voice extremely hoarse...

Yes, begging all the way, all the way to the warmth and coldness, his voice has completely changed, and has become a lot of vicissitudes, if it weren't for the strong and upright body, anyone would think that this beggar is at least more than half a hundred years old.

That's when ...

A ship enters the port.

A handsome boy walked down from the port, with a lot of retinues behind him, and the port... It was as if someone was waiting for him in plain clothes.

It just so happens that this location is not far from Cao Pi.

After the son came down, he hurriedly asked: "The son of the anti-Wei Dynasty, has Cao Pi been arrested?" ”

"Returning to Gongzi, no!"

The sound of questions and answers was very loud, which naturally attracted Cao Pi's attention.

Albeit... Cao Pi felt that the person who came was not good and should not be too deliberate, but... The conversation between the two still attracted him, and he couldn't help but look at the handsome son.

But just looking at it like this, Cao Pi trembled all over...

Because, this son is none other than Guan Lin!

You must know that Guan Lin's portrait has long been spread all over the north, how can Cao Pi not know it?

He hurriedly buried his head down, as if he was afraid of Guan Lin's gaze, or... The coercion brought by Guan Lin himself made him unable to raise his head.

Seem... It's because there is only such a beggar around, or maybe it's because Guan Lin is not afraid of anything, his voice is as high-pitched as ever.

"Continue to arrest, that Cao Pi is the son of Cao Cao, if he is caught, he can be a hostage, and he can sacrifice the flag for the three armies, but... If you let him go back, it will be a lot of trouble..."

"Whoa!"

With the response of a plainclothes soldier, Guan Lin walked as if he was about to move forward.

But Buzi had just taken a step, and he seemed to notice the beggars around him, and asked a question, "Is there so many beggars in this Jiangdong?" ”

The plainclothes soldier replied: "There have been a lot of wars lately... The people were panicked and panicked, many people moved with their families, and some bandits took the opportunity to plunder, but there were many poor people who were displaced, and the number of beggars naturally increased a lot. ”

These words made Guan Lin bow slightly, he took out a small bag of coins from his arms and threw it on the plate in front of Cao Pi, Guan Lin also patted Cao Pi's shoulder and comforted: "Be strong, everything will be fine!" ”

Let's talk about it... He walked away, no longer nostalgic, but in the same voice as always... He added a sentence to those plainclothes soldiers, "Issue a notice to search for Cao Pi throughout the city, and reward him heavily... Live or die! ”

After that, Guan Lin had already stepped into the carriage that had been prepared, and Lu Xun glanced at the beggar meaningfully, and also got into the same carriage.

This...

But Cao Pi at this moment, he seems to have experienced the situation of ice and fire in a short moment.

Happily, Guan Lin is rich and generous, and this big bag of money may be enough for him to take care of a boatman... Cross the river and go to Huainan... Escape.

Sadly, he had to be a little faster, because Guan Lin... It's to want his life

"Coo", Cao Pi subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he was creepy at this moment, he... Sweat like a pig!

…

On the other hand, in the carriage at the moment.

Guan Lin and Lu Xun sat face to face.

Take advantage of the carriage ride, idle and have nothing to do... Guan Lin is still writing the follow-up chapters of "Journey to the West".

Speaking of... Liu Chan couldn't wait for it, and Pegasus urged him to change eight times a day.

The most recent time, the messenger sent the "blade".

Guan Lin also realized it, urging more... It's really damning!

But "Journey to the West" has been written, and Sun Wukong has been named the Buddha of Victory...

There's no urging!

Simply, Guan Lin... I can only bite the bullet and continue to write back, just write "Journey to the West"... The story that tells the story of the Buddha Lord "Rulai" Lingshan was occupied by the villain "Wutian", and then Sun Monkey saved the world!

Of course...

There is a popular sentence in it, and Guan Lin is quite impressed.

- "Before I could exert myself, you fell!"

At this moment, Guan Lin just wrote this sentence.

Lu Xun seemed to be contemplating for a long time, and finally, he couldn't help but ask, "Didn't Yunqi notice the beggar just now?" ”

"How?" Lu Xun's words made Guan Lin stop writing and raise his eyes to look at him, "Did Bo Yan notice that something was wrong?" ”

"How can a beggar have such a tall posture, and the calluses on his hands, which are obviously left by practicing martial arts..."

"So...," Guan Lin asked.

Lu Xun said solemnly, "Although he is a beggar, he always keeps his head down and hides some of his faces, but... On the cheeks, those deliberately hidden features are too similar to the portrait of Cao Pi, I don't believe it, Yunqi, you didn't see his identity? ”

Lu Xun's words... completely made Guan Lin put down the pen in his hand.

However, Lu Xun's serious expression made the corners of Guan Lin's mouth widen, and he smiled lightly, "I naturally know that he is Cao Pi, before I got off the boat... I already know! ”

Yes...

Guan Lin's words surprised Lu Xun.

And Guan Lin's words continued, "Jianye City suffered a mess, and Cao Pi disappeared without a trace... Just imagine, where would Cao Pi go if he escaped? ”

"Harbor!"

"Yes, it's the port, but he's not entangled... Without horses and evading pursuers, it is not easy to cross the river from the port of Wuhu, so... I'm sure he'll be begging and heading towards Wuhu Harbor... As for this begging, don't forget, I am still the leader of the Beggar Gang, Hong Qigong, and there are always disciples of the Beggar Gang who travel in Jiangdong, and it is not difficult to find Cao Pi's whereabouts. ”

This...

I see.

Lu Xun nodded deeply, it seems... His conjecture was not wrong.

Wait a minute...

Lu Xun suddenly reacted again, and he hurriedly asked, "That being the case... So why let Cao Pi go? Why mention his arrest before him? What else to say... Dead or alive? What was the purpose of scaring him like this? ”

Lu Xun asked, but his eyes were longing.

And Guan Lin's words were completely unexpected, and even... He was a little dumbfounded.

"My purpose... It was to make him urgent, quick, and immediately flee from Jiangdong..."

"Ah...," Lu Xun exclaimed, "Why? Leave him in Koto... One can be a hostage, and the other can be a sacrificial flag to raise morale... This... Isn't that what you said? ”

"That's right." Guan Lin nodded slowly, but he continued, "But there is one thing, Cao Cao is already sixty years old, and he suffers from head wind, how many years can he last?" Compared with using Cao Pi as a hostage, compared to killing him and sacrificing the flag, to improve the morale of that short period of time... More important than that... After Cao Cao's death... The internal turmoil of Cao Wei! Bo Yan, have you forgotten how the Runan Yuan clan perished? ”

This...

Lu Xun suddenly thought that after Yuan Shao's death, the four prefectures of Qing, Hebei, You, and Hezhou were garrisoned by three sons and one nephew.

Cao Cao hasn't called yet... The interior is already a mess!

A thousand-mile embankment, destroyed in an anthill!

Fortresses are often attacked from the inside first, and hegemony is often disintegrated from within!

Speaking of this, Guan Lin's tone became serious and meticulous, he crossed his fingers, and said while counting: "Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi, Cao Xiong... None of these sisters-in-law should be missing! That's the only way... We're going to..."

As he spoke, Guan Lin showed Lu Xun the latest line of words in the latest volume of "Journey to the West".

Lu Xun was stunned...

The line was: "Before I could exert myself, you fell—"

…

…

Huiji Shanyin County, flag hunting, north wind howling.

Guan Lin is rarely dressed in armor, sitting on a high horse, and has a bearing... That's it, it's far inferior to his father Guan Yu.

Speaking of which, Guan Lin is a newcomer, and as soon as he arrived in Wuhu, he rushed to Shanyin County, the seat of Huiji.

There are two big things here, one of them... Sun Quan was escorted back, and second... San'in County Kaesong surrendered -

At this moment, there was a dull sound.

The gates of San'in Castle are open...

Guan Lin turned to his father, "Dad, it's time to go and surrender!" ”

"Jiangdong is planned by you, the city is broken by you, and it should be my son to go to this kind of thing!" Guan Yu was holding the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, but he was holding the Red Rabbit Horse and did not step forward, he wanted Guan Lin to walk in the front.

And with Guan Yu's words, downstairs in Shanyin City, the soldiers on both sides shouted in unison, "Welcome to the fourth prince——"

"Welcome to the fourth son!"

"Welcome to the fourth son!"

For a time, the mountains roared and the tsunami ...

Call...

Guan Lin let out a long breath, and then drove forward, and Guan Yu followed closely behind Guan Lin, like a "chief guard", vigilantly looking around to ensure that his son was well-thought.

The officials of San'in Castle have left the city...

Lu Dai, Lu Fan, Tian Yi, Xie Jing, and Kan Ze are all in the city gate, but they have different expressions...

Lu Dai, Tian Yi, and Xie Jing breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Fan and Kan Ze were in a heavy mood and had complicated faces.

Sun Quan was also escorted by dozens of soldiers, and his hands were tied behind his back... I took it from the side.

Seeing Guan Lin and Guan Yu, he was dejected, ashamed and obscene, and knelt down with difficulty: "Thank you General Guan and Guan Sigongzi for not killing!" ”

Guan Yu glanced at Sun Quan contemptuously... Ignoring this prisoner, he rode his horse straight past Sun Quan, and the horse's hooves stepped on Sun Quan's sleeve.

On the contrary, it was Guan Lin who dismounted and walked into Sun Quan, and pulled out a dagger with a "whoosh".

When Lu Fan and Kan Ze saw this scene, they were startled, and Kan Ze reprimanded loudly.

"Guan Lin? What are you going to do? ”

His words were just chanted, and the sound of "smack, smack" resounded in unison, these sounds were made by the Guan family army, the Mi family army, and the Guan Lin's soldiers.

This deafening, resounding sound made Sun Quan tremble...

It also shocked Kan Ze and Lu Fan, so that the two of them did not dare to step forward.

But at this moment...

I only heard the sound of "brushing", Guan Lin's dagger waved, and it actually split Sun Quan's shackles...

He said calmly, "Although Wu Hou took Jingzhou unjustly, it is the only way to break the situation in Jiangdong, the world scolds you rats, but I don't blame you, maybe I will do the same thing in your position, but... It is precisely for this reason that Jingzhou takes Jiangdong... What a forced move! Three-legged... The two feet must not fall into internal friction, and it is better to raise and stop the boiling than to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle... I can only forcibly connect Jingzhou and Jiangdong as one! ”

This...

Sun Quan raised his eyes, he seemed to notice what Guan Lin was going to do.

- "Buying people's hearts and minds, making... Is he the illusion that he was forced to conquer Soochow?'

- "But even though I knew he was trying to buy people's hearts, I... What else can I do? He... Will he really let me go?'

In Sun Quan's complicated eyes, Guan Lin directly ordered the soldiers beside him: "Come on, escort Wu Hou back to the mansion to rest..."

More than ten soldiers went over to help him up, and Sun Quan seemed to have a straw that could save his life, and hurriedly asked: "Guan Sigongzi, dare to ask... How are my families? How is my sister? How are my two daughters? ”

Guan Lin showed an extremely friendly side, "Wu Guotai and Mrs. Foot Trainer, Mrs. Sun Shangxiang, Sun Luban, and Sun Luyu have all been sent back to the house!" ”

"Thank you Guan Sigongzi! That... Can I still walk around in Jiangdong and visit my old friends? ”

Sun Quan's words couldn't help but make Guan Lin smile and ask: "Marquis Wu, the situation has come to this... Don't you hear that 'it is better to look at each other in the rivers and lakes'? ”

Just as Guan Lin's words fell.

"Hahahaha..."

Lu Fan smiled, Kan Ze also smiled, they seemed to despise Sun Quan incomparably, and they looked up to the sky with great despair and lamentation.

Kan Ze shouted loudly: "Wu Hou? Why ask him? Since he has been captured by this level four, that... Will you be able to escape his clutches? Sooner or later, sooner or later... It's better to die a decent death! ”

At this time, Sun Quan had been taken down by half-support and half-hostage, but he was still looking back on himself amorous and said: "Derun, Ziheng... Don't make a mistake in front of Guan Sigongzi and Guan Gong... No, no..."

Guan Lin had slowly paced in front of Lü Fan and Kan Ze, "I heard that Marquis Wu compared General Lü to 'Wu Han', the founding meritorious service of the Han dynasty when Guangwu Zhongxing, I heard... Mr. Kan Ze is proficient in astrology, and he has calculated... Nine stars are in harmony with Dongwu, retreat to Jingzhou! I'm curious, isn't this nine-star alignment right? During the Han Dynasty, the five stars went out of the east to benefit China, and this time the nine stars came out of the east, then my China is to be on the top of the world, and all the stars and rivers are the Han land! ”

This...

Guan Lin's words shocked Lu Fan and Kan Ze, and Lu Fan opened his mouth to refute, but he didn't know what to say.

Kan Ze sneered: "Nine stars out of the east... It's not good for you to close four after all, hum... You can deceive Sun Quan, deceive the hearts of the people of Jiangdong, but you can't deceive me... Yes, you won today, but the confrontation between the north and the south, Jiangdong is bound to be involved in continuous wars, you Guan Lin... is proud for a while, but it is destined to be hated by the people of Jiangdong for a lifetime! You are the one who disturbs the peace here, and it is you who turn this peaceful land into a Shura field... Your sins, the killings and bloodstains you will cause in the future, will not be washed away even by pouring the waters of the Yangtze River! ”

Guan Lin listened to Kan Ze's words calmly, he first looked back at his father Guan Yu, and saw that his Danfeng eyes were open and closed, and the Qinglong Knife in his hand was raised high...

It seems that as long as Guan Lin gives a look, this Lu Fan and Kan Ze will definitely fall with knives in their hands and their heads fall to the ground.

Mi Fang, Guan Ping, Zhou Cang, Wang Fu, Zhao Lei, Guan Yinping on Guan Yu's side... It's also a sense of déjà vu that is eager to try.

At this time, if you dare to say such "slandering" Guan Lin, this Kan Ze is afraid that it will be difficult to die.

Who would have thought...

Guan Lin quickly withdrew his eyes, he looked at Kan Ze calmly, and he replied lightly: "How long is the Yangtze River?" Generations of generations... But the sea is longer, and the killing and bloodstains in a corner of Jiangdong are still too short, too short compared to these thousands of generations, and this world that is wider than the Han Dynasty... No one can really understand the celestial phenomena, and no one can see the end of history, all we can see is today, only from Jiangdong... It is not only to go north to rebel against Wei, but also to colonize the world in the Age of Discovery! ”

"If you want to make it the Han land where the sun and the moon shine as far as the galaxy goes, then it is destined that someone will carry more and open up more, I will keep your life and let you see how small the world in Jiangdong is in your eyes, and what I want to do... What a grand thing to do in Koto! ”
