Three Kingdoms: The Guan Family's Rebellious Son, Long Blessing Jing Xiang

Chapter 375 Cao Ying has no confidant, thinking about the old man every night... the old man!
Can you recruit 30 soldiers?
When Cao Cao threw out this number, Jia Xu shook his head, almost putting the words "you fart" on his face.

"It's time like this. The prime minister can deceive his ministers, but he can't deceive the Guan family father and son, nor can he deceive the eyes of the world!"

"In the past six months, the prime minister has been unfavorable in battles, and has repeatedly lost in battles. He has successively lost Generals Cao Chun, General Wenpin, General Niu Jin, General Lu Chang, General Man Chong, and General Le Jin. He has lost more than 30 troops? General Li Dian was killed. The captives, General Zhang He with a broken arm, and General Hou Yin, all [-] Nanyang soldiers surrendered to Jingzhou! So and so, [-] soldiers...I'm afraid the prime minister can't recruit them!"

Sure enough, when Jia Xu said something, Cao Cao frowned subconsciously.

It's a bad feeling to be seen through...

But Cao Cao knew that at this time, the truth is undoubtedly the prerequisite for all plans, but Cao Cao stubbornly recited a new number.

"20 soldiers, Gu can still be recruited!"

"Prime Minister, do you still want to hide the truth from the old minister?" Jia Xu said sincerely, "General Xiahou recruited [-] soldiers and horses with great difficulty in the Central Plains, but he didn't last an hour on the battlefield before he was killed by a million soldiers." Shooting and killing with crossbow arrows... This incident caused a sensation throughout the Central Plains and the Northern Territory. Although the veteran does not know how to recruit soldiers and horses, my eyes are not blind and my ears are not deaf. Dare to join the army again? The prime minister will not lie to the old minister!"

"One hundred thousand!" Cao Cao's tone was firm this time, "There are still one hundred thousand soldiers and horses led by me, Huang Xu'er, in the remote and combined land..."

"But those were the prime minister's soldiers who conquered Xianbei..." Jia Xu directly explained Cao Cao's background, "The prime minister's wish since he was a child was to be a 'general who conquered the west' like Huo Qubing. The Huns are not destroyed, so why is it home? Today in the past The Xiongnu were divided into three, the Wuhuan had already been pacified by the prime minister, and the southern Xiongnu had always surrendered to the prime minister, but this Xianbei..."

Speaking of this, Jia Xu paused, "The Prime Minister is willing to take out these [-] brave cavalry and devote himself to the Xiangfan battlefield? But is he conniving at the Xianbei people to go south frequently during the winter solstice?"

This…

Sure enough, after Guo Jia and Xun Yu died successively, Cao Cao thought that no one could understand what he was thinking.

But the conversation with Jia Xu today made Cao Cao realize...

There is still one person who understands him best, and that is Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe!

"Wenhe, you know Gu..." Cao Cao lowered his eyebrows and said, "In Gu's view, it is great to compete with Liu Bei and Sun Quan, and it is also great to unify this chaotic mountain and river, but if compared with sweeping Xianbei, it is no different. The latter is bigger."

"The current situation has changed, but Gu's original intention has not changed. What Gu most yearns for is still to be a big man who conquers the West, to achieve the great cause of champion Hou Huo Qubing's 'seal the wolf and live in the Xu'. Therefore, if there is only one Soldiers and horses, Gu will let them wipe out Xianbei, in Gu's view, 'fighting against the outside world' will always take precedence over 'Anne'!"

As soon as this remark came out, Jia Xu got up and cupped his hands: "Prime Minister Dayi——"

But he blurted out, and his eyes narrowed again, "But the old minister still said the same thing, Guan Yu is unparalleled in martial arts, Guan Lin's wise plan, if there are no soldiers and horses five times that of the enemy, I am afraid that the old minister will not be able to carry it out." This plan! Second, there is no certainty of victory!"

The words went back to the issue of soldiers and horses.

Guan Yu's "Juebei Road" used the Guan family army. The Guan family army had a total of [-] soldiers and horses, and the Cao army in Fancheng was no less than [-]. If Jia Xu's calculation was based on Jia Xu's calculation that the number of soldiers and horses was five times that of the enemy, it would be short of [-] soldiers!

On the Huainan battlefield, Sun Quan was still waiting and watching, and Cao Cao didn't dare to transfer too many troops. As for Hanzhong... it was a blessing to be able to keep the Shu army out of Yangping Pass, and it was even more impossible to support Xiangfan.

Then...

Cao Cao frowned, and he pondered for twenty breaths, as if he had finally made a certain decision, he shouted loudly, "Where is Xu Chu?"

"The end is here!"

Xu Chu stepped into the big tent from the outside, and cupped his hands towards Cao Cao.

As Cao Cao's close guard, he knew that Cao Cao would dispatch him on extremely important matters when calling out at such times.

"Chuan Gu's decree." Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, "It is ordered that all counties and counties must recruit soldiers and horses within one month, and all county magistrates and county guards who can recruit more than [-] soldiers and horses will be directly promoted. County magistrates and sheriffs with more than [-] soldiers and horses will be promoted to a higher level; county magistrates and sheriffs who recruit [-] soldiers and horses will be rewarded. Responsible--"

"Besides, tell the leaders of the five Southern Huns to prepare [-] cavalry for Gu! Say that Gu borrowed them—"

When referring to the leaders of the five Southern Huns preparing troops, the word "borrow" in Cao Cao's mouth was particularly emphatic and domineering.

It is full of the requirements of the superiors for the subordinates...

The kind of request that has no room for maneuver at all.

This is Cao Cao, and this is Cao Wei's attitude towards the surrounding alien races.

tough--

Extraordinarily tough——

Wuhuan refused to accept, so he slaughtered Liucheng;
If Xianbei refuses to accept, then fight until he is convinced;

The Southern Huns surrendered, and the Great Wei needed soldiers, so the Southern Huns had to prepare unconditionally for the Great Wei.

Wei's attitude towards the aliens around him was quite tough from beginning to end.

just.

This…

Xu Chu was taken aback when he heard this, and went to recruit soldiers and horses in units of counties and counties. You must know that the total number of counties and counties under the entire Wei Dynasty was more than two hundred, so he had to borrow soldiers and horses from the Huns.

——"How many soldiers does the prime minister want to recruit?" 』

——"But such a forced levy, I'm afraid it will greatly damage the popularity of the people! 』

Seeing Xu Chu in a daze, Cao Cao reminded, "Have you written everything down?"

"Write it down." Xu Chu cupped his hands, "The final general will pass it on."

While talking, Xu Chu stepped back, and Cao Cao looked at Jia Xu quietly, "Wenhe, if you want 15 soldiers and horses, I will make up 20 or [-] soldiers and horses for you alone. I don't want anything else, I just need it." Capture Guan Yunchang! You only need to defeat Guan Yunqi! Can you do it?"

Cao Cao's tone was extremely categorical, and his actions were even more utterly utterly categorical, which also made Jia Xu realize that the 60-year-old man was "destroyed"...

——"Prime Minister captures and assists Guan Yu, defeats that Guan Yunqi, are you so obsessed..."

Immediately, Jia Xu calmed down, and pointed his finger in the direction of the map, "There is Yancheng in the north of Fancheng. It is less than a hundred miles away from Yancheng, and there is Xinye City in the northeast of Fancheng..."

When he mentioned the names of these three cities, Jia Xu's hand had already drawn across the map, and he drew a circle.

This circle completely covers Guan Yu's "Juebei Road" circle, which is a bigger, wider and farther circle!

Jia Xu's voice continued: "My plan is still mentioned earlier. This pair of Guan family father and son, the son can be literary, and the father can be martial. If the two are linked together, it will be extremely difficult to deal with both civil and military skills, but... if If we can shorten the distance between them and separate them, then the father without literature and the son without weapons can defeat them all!"

"Then..." Cao Cao asked hastily: "Then how to increase the distance between the Guan family father and son and break the connection between them!"

Jia Xu's eyes were dark, "It depends on the Prime Minister, he is reluctant to part with these three cities... The so-called reluctant children can't be tied to wolves..."

While speaking, he tapped his hand again in the directions of "Xinye City", "Pinglu City" and "Yancheng" on the map...

"This is a conspiracy, a conspiracy!"

"The conspiracy is Guan Yu's Juebei Road. The prime minister ordered the generals of these three cities to feign defeat to Guan Yu, lose the three cities of Xinye, Pinglu, and Yan, and induce Guan Yu to occupy them, and stretch the front of the 'Juebei Road', so... Guan Yu's The position is closer to our army and farther away from the enemy!"

"Whether it is Xinye City, Pinglu City, or Yancheng City, these are cities that are easy to attack and difficult to defend. As long as there are enough troops, they can be taken by force... At that time, Guan Yu will lead the Guan family army into the three cities. Three cities, such a conspiracy has already been punished..."

"After that, Guan Lin is the son of Guan Yu? Why don't you go to save him? The prime minister just needs to send a general to besiege the city to help... Guan Lin is also a fish caught in the net and cannot escape the prime minister's palm!"

call…

As Jia Xu's words fell, Cao Cao's pupils lit up, and he once again experienced the viciousness and ruthlessness of Jia Xu's strategy.

This is Jia Xu's countermeasure based on Guan Yu's "Juebei Dao" method.

This strategy is poisonous. Guan Lin is good at intelligence and strategy, so avoid his edge and don't play tricks with him. Instead, compare your strength and courage, break up the Guan family army into pieces, and disperse them... Then use absolute strength siege…

The combat power that can be assembled in a shorter period of time than Dawei!

This is to use one's own strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses!
In this battle, Cao Jun's infantry and siege capabilities were fought, and more than [-] people were fought to submerge the entire battlefield, and to attack the enemy with a sudden attack with a force that was absolutely superior to that of the opponent.

What's more perfect is that this battle pulled the front line back and perfectly avoided the water. It was completely the land warfare and siege warfare that the Wei army was best at.

It also perfectly lengthened the front of the Guan family army, so that the time for Xiangyang City to rush to the rescue was later than Cao Jun's attack.

This is to turn Guan Yu into a bird in a cage, and trap him and the Guan family army in these three cities.

"What a poisonous plan—" Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh, "You are the only one who can plan this plan, Jia Wenhe."

Facing Cao Cao's praise, Jia Xu bowed his hands, "Prime Minister Miao Zan."

call…

At this time, Cao Cao finally let out a long breath, sweeping away the haze of successive defeats during this period, and his smile rose again.

"hahahahahahahahahaha…"

He is really happy.

It seemed that in just half an hour, the Xiangfan battlefield that he dreaded the most, and the father and son of the Guan family that he dreaded the most, all the problems brought about here were easily solved.

He even felt that Jia Xu's plan was worthy of his "last stand" and forced conquest at a huge price of losing "popularity" and "people's hearts"!
"Hahaha…"

Cao Cao's laughter continued, but with a smile, Cao Cao thought of the other two troublesome things.

His laughter also stopped abruptly.

Seeing Cao Cao's state of mind, Jia Xu opened his mouth and said, "Does the prime minister want to ask about Shou Hanzhong's plan?"

"Don't rush to talk about this plan." Cao Cao's cheeks became gloomy again, "Yangping Pass is reinforced alone, and its strength and steepness are the most clear. This pass should be controlled by one man, and no one can open it. A little Zhang Fei, even Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang can't get over it for a while, but... there is another matter that makes Gu Shen think about it for a long time, and can't make a decision for a long time!"

"What's the matter?" Jia Xu asked curiously.

Cao Cao said truthfully: "It's about Zhang Wenyuan..."

Well…

Jia Xu didn't hear any news about Zhang Liao, he asked curiously, "How can General Wen Yuan make the prime minister think?"

"Ugh…"

Accompanied by Cao Cao's faint sigh.

He said with emotion: "Sit down, Wen He, I will discuss this matter with you in detail—"

...

...

It is said that there is an island in the northeast sea of ​​Lingshan Temple in Jiaozhou, named "Guzi Island". On the island, there is a kind of white winterflower, which is as big as the size of two hands.

There are always people going to pick flowers on Guzi Island by raft.

But mostly nothing.

Lu Xun had already arrived at Guzi Island by boat. He only knew that Xu Shu lived here in seclusion, but he didn't know the exact location.

So I asked on the island.

By chance, Lu Xun picked this "Naidonghua", he thought it was a good omen, but after asking for another day, there was still no news of Xu Shu.

It's as if...Xu Shu didn't live in seclusion here at all.

"Isn't it Jiaozhou? Jiaozhou?" Lu Xun questioned, "It's not Lingshan Temple, but... Lingshan County?"

Guan Lin judged that Xu Shu was here, in addition to the information provided by Liu Ye, he quoted "Song of Guzi Yangbai Naidonghua" "There is a guest coming from the sea, and it is suspected to be Xu Yuanzhi!" This sentence...

Whether Xu Shu is here, whether it is Lingshan Temple or Lingshan County, Guan Lin is not sure...

Sending Lu Xun this time is considered a big blind box.

"Ugh…"

Just as Lu Xun was sighing, he suddenly saw an old man in a small boat, wearing straw sandals and Taoist robe, coming by boat.

Lu Xun quickly asked: "May I ask the old man if he knows that there is a hermit here, whose surname is Xu Mingshu, and his characters are straight?"

Hearing Lu Xun's question, the old man looked up at him, "How do you know that Xu Yuanzhi lives in seclusion here?"

Lu Xun felt that there was something interesting, and quickly said: "A friend told me a poem called "Ode to Guziyangbai Naidonghua", in which there is a line "The frosty moon is full of Lingao, embellishing the colors of heaven and earth. A guest came from the sea , suspected to be Xu Yuanzhi. Yunji Luotianbiao, can't be expected' is the name of Xu Yuanzhi!"

"Who are you?"

"Lu Xun in Xiawu Commandery, was ordered by Guan Yunqi, the fourth son of Guan Yunchang in Jingzhou, to convey a word to Mr. Xu."

As Lu Xun opened his mouth, the old man stopped the boat, showing a little curiosity.

Of course, because of his age, Lu Xun did not regard the old man as Xu Shu himself.

The old man asked: "What are you talking about? Also, does Xu Yuanzhi know this Young Master Yunqi?"

Lu Xun replied truthfully: "Actually, they don't know each other. What Mr. Yunqi asked me to tell was also written by Uncle Liu Huang to Guan Yunchang..."

Lu Xun said: "Xiangyang City has been captured by General Guan, and the hope of the rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty is in sight. Uncle Liu Huang said in the letter that General Guan must go to Xinye City again, because there is a memory of Uncle Liu Huang in Xinye City. That was when Xu Yuanzhi left, he ordered people to cut down all the woods on the road, but now...the woods have grown taller again, and Uncle Liu Huang wanted General Guan to take Xinye, so he wanted to cut down the woods again, because...these trees, When Mr. Xu Shu left, he blocked his gaze from looking at Mr. Xu Shu!"

Lu Xun said everything Guan Lin told him.

Of course, in fact Liu Bei did not write this letter, it was all fabricated by Guan Lin.

But what Guan Lin was sure of, Xu Shu left Liu Bei, he was grateful and guilty in his heart, otherwise he would not recommend Zhuge Liang to Liu Bei, let alone leave a letter telling Liu Bei how to fight Cao Cao.

It is also based on this that Guan Lin is sure that these words, especially Liu Bei's sentence "I want to cut down all the trees here" will definitely make Xu Shu's heart throbbing again and again!
At this moment, Lu Xun had a feeling that although the person in front of him might not be Xu Shu, he definitely recognized Xu Yuanzhi.

Sure enough, when Lu Xun finished speaking, the complexion of the old man in front of him changed slightly, and he pondered for a while.

"Mr. Dare to ask..." Lu Xun was about to speak.

The old man waved his hand, "I'll bring it to Xu Yuanzhi for you, if there is a destiny, you will meet each other..."

After speaking, the old man paddled away, and the wind was not smooth, but his boat was rowing fast, and soon disappeared from Lu Xun's eyes.

At this time... a strong wind suddenly blew up on Guzi Island, and it didn't stop until Lu Xun discarded all the "Neidonghua" that he had picked!
When he returned to the shore, Lu Xun was a little confused by the experience of Guzi Island.

I muttered in my heart.

——"Then does the old man deny Xu Yuanzhi? 』

Over there...

The old man paddled away and traveled a long distance before the ship stopped. The old man had a special look on his face, as if there were tears in his eyes.

At this time, an old woman in the cabin slowly walked out, he walked up to the old man, reached out and picked off the beard and white eyebrows of the old man...

The old man who removed these beards suddenly turned into a handsome middle-aged man.

The old woman asked: "My son Shan Fu, since you took me to live in seclusion, this is the first time you have been so lonely and so sad... Do I miss the words of that young man just now, or the woods outside Xinye City? "

call…

It was Xu Shu who took off all the pretense and changed from an old man to a middle-aged man.

He deliberately pretended to be an old man to avoid Cao Cao...

He originally thought that he should serve his wife here for the rest of his life.

But today, the appearance of Lu Xun, Lu Xun's words, the words of the so-called "Mr. Yunqi" brought by Lu Xun, and the words of Lord Xuande that he was thinking about, especially the sentence "I want to cut down all the trees here"...

The words that came out seemed to be imprinted in Xu Shu's heart.

This made him throbbing for a while... It also reminded him of the glorious years of following Liu Bei, winning battles, meeting the Ming Lord, and getting to know each other!
He also thought of the dangers along the way when he took his old mother away from Cao Ying... the sentence that he stuck to in his mind-"Cao Ying has no confidant, and thinks about his old friend every night."

What he thought more was, if he went to follow Liu Bei again, would the old lady be invited to Xudu again by Cao Cao?Mother is old and can't stand such a toss!

——I want to help you, but loyalty and filial piety are not perfect...

(Ps: In "Three Kingdoms", Xu Shu's mother did not jump into the well, and the setting of "Three Kingdoms" is used here.)
"You don't talk... why don't you understand?"

Xu's mother seemed to see through all of Xu Shu's thoughts with just one glance, "Mother can see that you don't miss the Xinye, you miss the forest, you miss the person who cut down the entire forest for you!"

Speaking of this, Xu's mother's expression became gloomy, and she blamed herself, "It's all my fault. If it wasn't for me, you would still be Liu Huangshu's military adviser, you would still be a loyal and righteous man of the great Han...you would still be the hope of the ZTE Han Dynasty, It's Uncle Liu's humerus...it's all my fault, it's all my fault-"

Mother Xu wanted to jump into the water as she spoke.

Xu Shu grabbed it and said, "Mother, why do you blame this?"

Xu's mother's voice was faint: "Why do you blame me? Since you asked, then I as a mother will naturally have something to tell you, and I will tell you what I have been holding in my heart for decades."

"Listen well, everyone has their own destiny, and what a mother expects... Only her son will be successful and famous, be a noble righteous man, be a capable minister in the world, and save the people from suffering and danger in troubled times. Kuang Fu's precarious situation can still be praised by the world after a thousand years!"

"Yuan Zhi, you need to know that what you have learned is what you have learned. You have been the military advisor of Liu Huangshu and the rebel Cao Cao. Your personal safety, honor and disgrace involve the safety of tens of thousands of Li Shu, and the hope of reviving the Han Dynasty, but how did you do it back then? The stupid and pedantic act of abandoning the British Lord and joining Cao Ying to meet me, an old woman?"

Xu's mother's voice gradually became cold and serious, "All these years you have turned your back on the dark, and I disdain to talk to you. My face is dull all day long, but don't you understand? Can't you see it? ? So far, the only thing you have done wrong is to abandon Uncle Liu and join the traitor Cao Cao!"

"If your mother's life is only to let you be dragged down by the word 'filial piety', then why should I live in this world? If I die, I can let you return to Liu Huangshu for the rest of your life to redeem, then what is the reason for my death? What's the blame?"

At this time, Mother Xu's voice had become trembling:
"If you give me a good opportunity today, you... you... you go back to Uncle Liu Huang, and you get out of here quickly, otherwise... starting today, you are not my son, and I am not your mother! You...you can stop me from jumping into the river for a while , but can it stop me from seeking death for the rest of my life?"

Mother Xu...

At this moment, Xu's mother showed only four words - giving up one's life for righteousness!
Since ancient times, China has never lacked such women.

——Mother calls her son to fight in the East!

——Wife sent Lang to the battlefield!
...
