On the official road leading from Jiangxia to Nanyang, a chase battle is being staged.

"Catch up with them..."

"Don't let them run!"

"Quick, quick..."

It's expected, and it's reasonable... Zang Ba and his Taishan army stole white phosphorus but were discovered by the Jingzhou army.

For a while, thousands of Jingzhou cavalry moved together and quickly rushed to this side.

The sound of horses' hooves resounded, and there was a gust of wind on the official road.

Thanks to the news that Zang Ba got in advance, he deployed a suspicious army to delay the offensive of the Jingzhou army...

As for the convoy full of white phosphorus, it was dark and had already withdrawn in the direction of Nanyang.

Merely...

After all, the suspicious soldiers did not delay for long.

Liao Hua directly led the cavalry to catch up, and for a while... On the official road, in front is the evacuation of a large number of convoys of the Nanyang Army, and behind is the Jingzhou cavalry led by Liao Hua... Bite hard... Chase after it.

A thrilling chase battle kicked off.

In the darkness of the night, the sound of shouts, footsteps, and horses' hooves mingled together to create a music of extreme urgency, and as time passed, the strength of the soldiers on both sides had reached the limit.

However... Whether it's Zang Ba, or Zhu Ling, Zhu Shu... Or Cao Pi, they all know that they can't stop at this time... Once engaged with the enemy, then on the territory of Jingzhou, the enemy's reinforcements will be endless, and they will... Buried here!

The most, the most, the most terrifying thing is that most of them are carriages, and they don't escape very quickly... It's a long shot!

- "Lingju, this girl..."

Zang Ba couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Didn't Guan Lin say yes, he wanted to let us go? The map has been given, the route has been made, and the chase is on, what does that mean?"

Just when Zang Ba hesitated and was confused.

"General Zang..."

"General Zang..."

There were two voices in a row, namely Cao Pi and Zhu Ling, and they spoke almost at the same time.

It seems that the two also noticed each other talking and looked at each other...

Coincidentally, after the two looked at each other, they spoke at the same time again.

"Let me lead the pursuers..."

That's right, it was Cao Pi and Zhu Ling who said it together.

Not...

Zang Ba paused, a little surprised.

Zhu Ling preemptively said: "I was forced to surrender to Jingzhou before, serving as a general here, and I am familiar with the military and politics of Jingzhou... If it is attributed to the Great Wei, it will inevitably leak all the military and political affairs of Jingzhou, so... If I lead the guards to divert the pursuers, they will not let me go, so let me lead the pursuers... You'll be safe! ”

This...

Zang Ba didn't know Zhu Ling's identity and position, he thought that Zhu Ling was really forced to surrender due to the situation.

If this is the case, then Zhu Lingneng at this moment can propose such an act, but he is a man.

Not to mention, Zang Ba, who really let the "righteous word be the head", looked at him a few times.

Who ever thought that Cao Pi immediately denied: "It's not good..."

As he galloped his horse, he continued to shout, "Although General Zhu Ling has a special identity, when it comes to special status, I am more suitable than General Zhu Ling to lead away the enemy... The son of a great Wei, what a great feat? It is impossible for the enemy to abandon me and chase after this convoy..."

Speaking of this, Cao Pi seemed to have made up some kind of determination, "I am the eldest son of Great Wei, at this time, if anyone wants to stand up, it must be me..."

His tone was resolute...

This made Zhu Ling surprised for a while, and also made Zang Ba a little confused, and couldn't help muttering in his heart again:

- "Zhu Ling and Cao Zihuan's please? What's going on? Is this part of Guan Lin's kid's plan?'

Don't wait for Zang Ba to think about it...

"Phew—"

Cao Pi had already spoken to the horse, he turned the horse's head, first slowly retreated to the carriage behind him, through the window, he said inside: "Zhang Fang... I have something important to do, I'll go back when I go... You... Take care..."

"Childe..." Zhang Fang seemed to realize something, and quickly opened his mouth.

In fact, the beggar gang task that Zhang Fang received must ensure that Cao Pi returns, and he doesn't know about the other tasks, but this one... Whether it is for the Han Dynasty or for the Yunqi Gongzi, it is very important.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Fang lifted the curtain, and his face was full of worry.

And this pair of cheeks made Cao Pi's heart feel relieved, "Hehe, adversity sees the truth... Right now... I'm really worried about my life and death, I'm afraid it's only you who are honest Zhang Fang, right? Huh..."

Speaking of which, Cao Pi has already driven the horse... With the neighing of a horse, Cao Pi turned over and rode away, but before he galloped, he left a sentence at the end.

"Don't worry, I'll come back alive... Will live to Luoyang! Zhang Fang, there is your house in Luoyang City, and there are also... There is a position that I can't give up! ”

With this voice...

The sound of horses' hooves resounded on the official road.

Soon, Cao Pi and hundreds of horsemen had disappeared on the official road.

But for a moment...

"Chasing Lao Tzu? Can you catch up? Yes... Hahaha..."

Cao Pi drove his horse to a high place, condescendingly looking at the Jingzhou soldiers and horses who were chasing him.

With this wanton laugh of his heartfelt laughter...

Liao Hua under the mountain was startled, and he muttered to himself in his heart.

- "Shouldn't it be Zhu Ling after the break? How is Cao Pi... This is a bit different from what the Cloud Banner Boy expected!"

Thinking of this, Cao Pi had already led a cadre of cavalry into the mountain road on the other side.

"General? The enemy is scattered ... There are only a few hundred cavalry in the first batch of our chase, which way are we going to chase? ”

An adjutant general asked Liao Hua...

Liao Hua was also honest and confused.

It seems that the discrepancies in the plan make him hesitate a little, and he doesn't know how to chase it?

"Chasing Cao Pi—"

At this moment, a female voice was raised, it was Guan Yinping.

"Miss Guansan?" Liao Hua raised his eyes, his eyes full of suspicion.

Guan Yinping lowered her voice, and in a voice that only she and Liao Huafang could hear, she continued: "The plan remains the same, injure Cao Pi and shoot most of his personal guards, but... Make sure he escapes back..."

This...

Liao Hua was stunned, before... This set of "serious injury" packages is for Zhu Ling, I never thought... The current situation... It's a little different again!

At such a juncture, Liao Hua didn't have time to think too much, and immediately ordered, "On one side is Nanyang Bing, on the other side is Wei Gongzi, since the power is chasing this Wei Gongzi... Soldiers, the whole army will follow me to hunt down this thief, Cao Pi will live, and the rest will not matter——"

With Liao Hua's orders...

"-Da-da-da!"

For a while, the sound of the hooves of hundreds of horses on the mountain road resounded for a long time.

But Guan Yinping was still in place, looking at the dust flying under the dusk, she couldn't help but sigh faintly: "Fourth brother... Seriously injured Cao Pi, send him back, you... That's what it means, right? ”

Speaking of which, "Drive..."

Guan Yinping no longer thought about it, and with her roar, she waved her horsewhip and chased after the enemy horse.

…

…

Jiangxia, Anlu City.

In the dark room, only a glimmer of light came from the sparse starlight outside the window.

Through the cracks in the window lattice, they were mottled on the quaint desk, and in the corner of the table, a mysterious package from Bashu lay silently.

It's as if a silent guardian, waiting for the moment when the veil is lifted.

Guan Lin sat at the table, his gaze solemn and focused, his hands gently holding up the package, as if holding a fragile treasure.

His movements were cautious, and every slight movement seemed extremely cautious, as if he was afraid that he would break the peace hidden in the package if he was not careful.

The fire candles in the house have all been removed, this is a deliberate effort by Guan Lin, obviously... When the candle collides with the contents of the package, it bursts with energy that cannot be evaluated.

There was an indescribable tension in the air, and Guan Lin's breathing became extremely gentle, and he slowly opened the package... Finally saw this thing that he had in mind.

Call...

With a deep exhalation, Guan Lin spied the whole picture of this "artifact", and he couldn't help but subconsciously whispered: "Sanxing Han Room... That's what I want—"

Then...

The soldier outside the door reported to Guan Lin through the door, "Childe... Everyone is here. ”

Guan Lin carefully put the artifact back into the package, then hid it, and then turned around... But even so, he couldn't help but glance at this "artifact" again, and then turned his gaze to the door of the study.

"I'm going—"

…

After a while, in the main hall, Guan Lin drank all the water in the teacup in front of the table, and then commanded loudly:

"—Concert!"

Gu Yong, the patriarch of the Gu family, reported first: "According to the orders of the prince of Yunqi, those Taoists have all been sent away, and they have sent a large amount of grain, cloth and silk, and a small amount of iron from waterways and merchant ships... said that it was to fund us Jiangdong families to strengthen themselves, and we thought that we should be internal, and we also transported all the fake white phosphorus to the ship and gave it to them... When Cao Cao knew that this batch of white phosphorus was fake, presumably... I'm sure I'm going to be furious! ”

The first thing Gu Yong said was... Guan Lin dealt with the Taoist from the north, and dealt with Zuo Ci and Ge Xuan.

Of course, Gu Yong didn't know...

Guan Lin has already pretended to be a wandering Taoist and collided with this Zuo Ci countless times in thought.

But Cao Cao was also careless, he just took it for granted that these Jiangdong clans... The story of what happened to Sun Ce in the past will definitely happen to Guan Lin again!

… It is precisely based on this that whether it is Cao Cao, Zuo Ci, or Ge Xuan, they all relaxed their vigilance and spent a lot of money, not only did they not buy white phosphorus, but also made Guan Lin make a lot of money.

Of course...

Make money, earn cloth, earn food, this is still second... The more important purpose is to cover for Cao Pi and Zang Ba's behavior of transporting white phosphorus, and to increase... Cao Cao's level of trust in the action over there.

Cao Cao is a suspicious man by nature... If he got white phosphorus so easily, he didn't say that it was Cao Cao, but Guan Lin himself didn't believe it.

Thereupon... The whole plan was rolled out like that.

Fiction and reality, reality and fiction...

This is Guan Lin based on Cao Cao's psychology... Set a strategy!

It's a game of the heart...

But the odds of winning are because of Cao Pi and Zhu Ling... and because of Zhang Fang, who had a broken arm, Guan Lin was sure that the odds of winning were more than seventy percent!

As for...

These Jiangdong clans, where can they buy them so easily with just cloth and grain?

They are people with dreams, they are the ones who want to go to "San Francisco" with Guan Lin to dig for infinite gold...

The big clan pursues profits, and the word profit is the head, they can take risks, they can not hesitate to die, they can die for Guan Lin-

With this in mind...

Guan Lin looked at Gu Yong and praised, "Old Gu is doing a good job here... The money, food, cloth and silk are in place, and the construction of large ships is one step faster than the unimpeded seaway to San Francisco! ”

Receiving Guan Lin's praise, Gu Yong looked relieved, but he still showed enough modesty, "Everything depends on the child's calculations, the old man, I just follow the plan, I can't afford to be so praised by the son of Yunqi!" ”

Lu Dai on the side became excited, "Then San Francisco is still far away, but Yunqi said... That Huainan can have a place of mineral veins, we can't dig San Francisco, let's dig his Huainan first, eh... Yunqi, as long as you give an order, we, the Jiangdong clans, will send troops with soldiers, and those who have money will take the money, and we will take down Huainan overnight! ”

Belch...

Listening to Lu Dai's words, many people were stunned.

Don't these clans always seek advantages and avoid disadvantages? Whoever stands in the back when there is a war, divides the credit, and leans forward when the money is divided... This... What's going on?

Is the fighting spirit so high-pitched?

Guan Lin smiled at Lu Dai and said solemnly: "General Lu... Courageous! ”

As soon as he said this, everyone turned towards Lu Dai, and the big guys laughed...

Lu Daiyou was confused, Gu Yong pulled him down, and whispered, "What are you panicking about?" Yunqi Gongzi's own deployment... San Francisco has our share, and those veins in Huainan have our share! ”

Oh...

Lu Dai suddenly realized, he knocked on the door of his head, "Oh, what did I just say?" Why didn't I forget... Yes... Hahaha..."

As soon as he said this, the big guy laughed again.

Dare to love, these Jiangdong clans, one by one, are sharpening knives... I'm impatient!

Let's talk about the problem of Zuo Ci and the Taoist... Guan Lin turned his gaze to Lu Xun, "Bo Yan? What happened to Cao Pi's side? Can you put it back in Dawei? ”

Yes...

was suddenly asked this question by Guan Lin, and Lu Xun was stunned for a moment.

He looked at Guan Lin suspiciously, as if asking—"This matter... Is it so secret, can it be said in such a large public and in front of so many Jiangdong clans?"

Guan Lin seemed to see Lu Xun's suspicions, raised his big hand, and said with a smile: "Bo Yan, all of you here are your own people, and they are all working hard for the sake of Xinghan, it doesn't hurt to say anything directly, you don't have to hide it from the loyal and righteous people here!" ”

Oh, yes...

In Guan Lin's view, in this world... There is no use of eternal enemies at all, there are only eternal interests!

As long as everyone's interests are aligned, there is nothing that cannot be trusted.

On the other hand, Lu Xun, hearing Guan Lin say this, he simply didn't hide it, and said truthfully: "Everything is going well, Nanyang Zang Ba led his Taishan army to successfully rob the real white phosphorus, and even took Cao Pi and Zhu Ling away... However, there were some small accidents, according to the plan, it should be Zhu Ling who stayed in the palace, but he never thought about it... The queen of the palace is Cao Pi! General Liao Hua and Miss Guan San can be regarded as stopping... It's just that Cao Pi was seriously injured, and most of his personal guards were shot, or a path was left for him to evacuate..."

Lu Xun's words came out...

Many people here were confused, such as Gu Yong, Jiang Qin, He Qi, Lu Dai and others.

This is again allowing the enemy to rob the white phosphorus, and deliberately letting Cao Pi return to Luoyang, and Zhu Ling... Is he a real traitor or a false traitor? These... There are many suspicions!

Guan Lin didn't bother to explain...

He turned his head to Lu Su's side again, "Mr. Lu? You are in charge of the liaison between Jingzhou and Yizhou, these days... Is there a new trend in Yizhou? ”

"Liu Feng and Ma Jian have been trapped on Dingjun Mountain..."Lu Su replied truthfully, "This is the urgent report I just received this morning, according to the day the emergency report was issued, it should have been trapped on the mountain for seven days..."

"Seven days..."Guan Lin repeated this point in time.

What he muttered in his heart was...

- "What's going on?"

- "Dingjun Mountain shouldn't be difficult to attack, huh?" Isn't Xiahou Yuan's weakness written in "Farewell to the Cloud"? Use this as a breakthrough... No... Wait, could it be that General Zilong hasn't bothered to read the book "Farewell to the Clouds", right?"

Guan Lin is in a reverie...

Ma Liang is no longer calm, "Cloud Banner..."

He got up, his face full of worry, but he just chanted the word "Cloud Flag", and Guan Lin guessed what he wanted to say and what he wanted to say...

"Master Ma is a little restless..."Guan Lin said softly, "Liu Feng and Ma Jian will lose, this is a sure thing, but... Defeat is not the same as death... Ma Junshi should know how Cao Cao captured Bingzhou in the past, right? ”

Guan Lin reminded here...

Ma Liang's anxious mood suddenly calmed down, and what he thought was... When Cao Cao attacked Huguan in Zhouzhou, there was the Yellow River on the left and the Taihang Mountains on the right... At the same time, the persistence of Yuan Shao's good nephew Gao Gan was at an impasse for a while... Huguan has been repeatedly attacked.

Later, it was Guo Jia who proposed... The reason why the pot is guarded so strongly is because of Cao Cao's order of "those who surround and surrender will be killed"...

As the so-called siege of the city, it is often necessary to besiege three and lack one, which is to give the defenders hope to escape, and not to force them into a desperate situation.

- Those who surround and surrender will not be forgiven!

This is to push the Yuan army of the pot into a desperate situation...

So, Cao Cao adopted Guo Jia's proposal, not only let the word out, retracting the words that "those who surround and surrender will not be killed", but also held a commendation meeting under the closing, and rewarded those Yuan generals who surrendered.

Really... As soon as this move came out, Huguan quickly surrendered!

That time was also the time when Cao Cao and Guo Jia used "attacking the heart" perfectly.

As for... Guan Lin compared the situation of Liu Feng and Ma Jian today with Cao Cao's conquest of the state in the past...

The meaning couldn't be clearer, Liu Feng and Ma Jian may be defeated, but they will definitely not die, Xiahou Yuan will capture them alive, and will not kill them... Thus arousing the endless war spirit of the Shu army!

As for the end, Cao Cao... What will be done?

That's a new story!

But there is no doubt that in terms of time, Guan Lin is in time.

"Cao Cao is good at attacking the heart..."Guan Lin continued, "maybe... For my uncle, the stepson of his lifelong enemy, Liu Feng, he will be jealous and hateful, and he will deal with it quickly, but he will be jealous of Ma Yan... There's room for manoeuvre... Master Ma, don't worry, even if there is no room for turning, I will make a room for turning! Of course... In the end, whether Ma Jian can survive or not depends on himself! ”

Speaking of which...

Guan Lin couldn't help muttering in his heart.

- "Li Li, Lingju, Guan Xing, Zhu Ling, Zhu Shu, Zhang Fang... Now counting Ma Yan, this wave... But a lot of people have been thrown to the north!'
