Chapter 738: The Ending of the Guan Family's Rebellious Son (Part 1)

Luoyang, the official hall.

Lu Xun, Lu Su, Xu Shu, Ma Liang... these were either outstanding Qizuo in the world, or people with profound plans and far-sightedness gathered together.

But now, they all looked at their noses and eyes, and no one said a word. They all seemed to be waiting for something.

In addition to them, Gan Ning, Ling Tong, Jiang Qin, He Qi, Lu Dai...these Jiangdong warriors just stood and waited...

Let alone Zhou Cang, Wang Fu, Liao Hua, Jiang Wei, Shi Wu, Mi Lu and others.

But Fu Shiren was the only one who smacked his lips and muttered quietly while waiting.

"Why haven't you come yet?"

Thousands of calls…

Finally, with the sound of slight "tapping" footsteps, under the eyes of everyone, a figure slowly appeared on the main seat, with casual steps and a calm expression.

With the appearance of this figure, the entire main hall became quieter.

Obviously, here, in the eyes of these civil servants and generals...he is the talker in Luoyang City now, the one who plays chess and kills the entire chessboard——

It's Guan Lin——

As Guan Lin took his seat, his expression became serious and meticulous!

That's when...

A sonorous accent echoed in the main hall.

——"Discuss!"

In an instant, everyone who was already quite excited became even more energetic.

Lu Su stood up first and reported: "After capturing Xuzhou, the Jiangzuo Alliance, under the instruction of the Fourth Young Master, continued to move northward... At the same time, the navy in Jiaozhou, together with the newly built large ships, also entered the Qingzhou battlefield. Qingzhou along the coast Most of the cities and counties surrendered in anticipation of the wind. Although the cities and counties in the interior have not surrendered, most of them are showing signs of exemption from war, and they seem to be still hesitating...waiting for news from the Central Plains! "

Lu Su's words were tactful and polite enough.

It is natural to hesitate, but the so-called waiting for news from the Central Plains has a profound meaning.

This news must be waiting for - Wei Dynasty's movements and news after losing Cao Cao.

Who will succeed Wei?

Is there any hope for Wei?

They follow Da Wei, do they still have a morsel of food?

It can be said that these cities and counties that are still waiting and watching are already like frightened birds... As long as they are dealt with well and conquered, there may be no need for swords and guns at all——

This is also true. Huainan... is a bridgehead. For Jiangdong, the main breakthrough here is to attack Xuzhou on two fronts, and then to Qingzhou, Jizhou, Youzhou... it will be a smooth road.

But the sad thing is that... in history... Soochow in the hands of Sun Quan, let alone Huainan, Hefei is a hurdle that he will never get over!

"Governor of Lu, you are solely responsible for the affairs of Qingzhou..." Guan Lin continued to say with full confidence in his employment: "As for the current situation, they are waiting and watching. We don't have to rush to attack. We might as well take a rest. For a while, everyone was waiting and watching... In my opinion, the development of the current situation may allow us to defeat others and win without fighting! "

Following Guan Lin's words.

Lu Su gently stroked his beard, as if he had already seen Guan Lin's thoughts, and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay -"

After saying that, he stepped aside.

The second one to step forward was Lu Xun, "Fourth Young Master, I have sent Lu Yan to Nanhai County, Jiaozhou according to Young Master's instructions. According to the news from my son, over at Nantou Ancient City, according to Young Master's manufacturing plan, my Lu family's The tribesmen have made large Fu Chuan completed the round trip to Yizhou and even began to attempt ocean navigation. In the ocean map, the Dongsha Islands and XSQD have completed their exploration. As for the Zhongsha Islands and NSQD that are slightly further away... this is the next plan..."

Inexplicable…

When Lu Xun reported the news about "going to sea and sailing", Guan Lin's nerves were suddenly touched, as if a certain bloodline in his body... awakened at this moment.

Having said that, in history, Soochow once sent Zhonglang "Kangtai" Fuhai to patrol here, and he visited many places successively. Even after decades, he even wrote "The Biography of Funan" after returning to China...

But why didn’t you think of going further?

And when Wei Wen, another general of Soochow, discovered Yizhou, he lost a big dragon...

Because the place Sun Quan sent him to was not Yizhou, but the Yamatai Kingdom.

What does this mean?

It shows that as early as the Soochow period, we already had the ability to sail across the ocean. All we lack is experience, sand tables, and maps!

Precisely these are all deeply remembered in Guan Lin's mind.

Guan Lin's expression became serious, and his tone became meticulous, "The ocean needs to be dug deeply, and there is also the Yamatai Kingdom on the drawing... They were brought there during the Qin Shihuang period...Xu Fu traveled eastward, so we just worked hard to take it back once and for all..."

At the end, Guan Lin said solemnly, "Over there in the ancient city of Nantou... if the military expenditure for going to sea is not enough, you can come to me for it at any time! After the world is unified, the development of sea routes and the absorption of foreign lands will be our next important step. Action and Mission!”

Hearing Guan Lin's extremely solemn words, Lu Xun felt that the burden on his shoulders was extremely heavy. He cupped his hands and said, "After I have paid homage to Uncle Liu, I will also go to the ancient city of Nantou... to personally coordinate the affairs of the great voyage!"

"With Boyan here, I feel relieved." Guan Lin nodded happily.

In history, there is a regret that the "Han" alone was destroyed by force——

Yes, how can any empire... be destroyed by force?

The strong will always be strong, and the strong should conquer the four directions like the ancestral dragon, just like the ancestral dragon conquered the six countries to establish a unified China, and let the whole world belong to our great China——

Let’s talk about Qingzhou’s affairs and external matters…

Next, Ma Liang talks about the current situation in the North.

It is also the most central place in this parliament.

"Fourth Young Master, it's not peaceful in the north recently!" Ma Liang looked a little worried.

Guan Lin restrained his fantasies about the great voyage and his thoughts were brought back to reality. He squinted his eyes and raised his hand slightly, "Commander Ma Liang, it's okay to just say it -"

turn out to be…

It was Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi, and Cao Pi who successively announced that they were the new kings of the Wei Dynasty.

Then, Cao Pi took advantage of the geographical advantage of occupying the city of Ye, the capital of Wei, and relied on Cao Cao's edict to act on behalf of the king, claiming to be orthodox... He assembled soldiers and horses from Jizhou and Youzhou, and gathered a large number of clan tribes to gather together. One hundred thousand troops were sent out, and Chen troops marched into Yecheng.

Cao Zhi relied on Xiahou Dun's prestige and hastily raised 30,000 soldiers and horses, and gathered them in Shangdang County in Bingzhou. Although there were not many soldiers, they were all veterans who had followed Xiahou Dun. They were the last part of Cao Wei's achievements gathered together. ...an existence that can stand up to ten.

As for...Cao Zhang.

His behavior... can be said to be beyond everyone's expectations, including Guan Lin's expectations.

Ma Liang reported truthfully, "The five tribes of Xianbei, Wuhuan, and Southern Xiongnu have now assembled their troops. Xianbei is said to have 300,000 men who can control strings. The five tribes of Southern Xiongnu have a total of 100,000 troops. Wuhuan is slightly less. But it’s also close Thirty thousand soldiers and horses were gathered, and they all marched south. They had already passed Yanmen, and wanted to reach Jinyang County, the seat of Bingzhou. It seemed... it seemed that Cao Zhang had made some kind of alliance there, and threatened to seize Yecheng first. Welcome Father Cao again——"

call…

When Ma Liang said these words, Guan Lin's eyes couldn't help but condense deeply.

In fact, there had been some rumors before, and he knew that... Cao Zhang had a plan to unite with Sanhu.

In fact, Guan Lin thought it was just a plan.

After all, Cao Zhang is quite bloody. He has been stained with the blood of a lot of Hu people during his many years of conquest with Xianbei... He hates the Hu people with all his heart...

But who would have thought that at this moment...when the situation was overwhelmingly unfavorable to him, he would actually take this step!

For a moment, Guan Lin thought of Shi Jingtang, who recognized a foreigner as his father.

No…

Even Wu Sangui, who led the Qing troops into the Pass, would give Cao Zhang a big thumbs up.

"A dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, it's really a dog jumping over the wall in a hurry -" Guan Lin muttered in a low voice. He wanted to give the order directly...but when the words came to his mouth, something suddenly occurred to him.

Hundreds of thousands of Sanhu people passed through Yanmen——

Haha, it was the place where Lu Bu and Zhang Liao once guarded. After Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty succeeded to the throne, it was the place where the barbarians would go south to plunder once a year...

In the past, the Han people paid a heavy price for guarding Yanmen, but now it's better, the barbarians have entered the gate directly——

call…

Guan Lin couldn't help but take another deep breath and swallowed all the words on his lips. Instead, he changed the subject and asked, "Where is Zhang Liao? How is your recovery?"

At this time, Ling Tong stood up and reported, "Because I have applied the elixir, I have become much healthier. Although I am not completely cured, at least I can take care of myself..."

"You're not looking for life anymore, are you?" Guan Lin asked next.

Ling Tong sighed, "It was okay not to be able to move some time ago, and we could send someone to feed him some food, but now that he's awake, his teeth are tightly closed and he won't eat anything... He looks like he's on a hunger strike! "

Before Ling Tong could finish what he said, Gan Ning had a hot temper and couldn't help but step forward and waved his hand violently, "Who can show him his hunger strike? What? We big men... why don't we care about him as a prisoner? Can't we beg him to surrender?" ?”

On the battlefield, Gan Ning admired Zhang Liao.

I admire his martial arts, admire his righteousness...

But in private, he went on a hunger strike... This made Gan Ning full of contempt for him!

What he did was not like a man——

Guan Lin roughly heard the whole story, and just like Cao Zhang who lured the barbarians into the Pass, he still kept his tone when dealing with Zhang Liao.

He turned his eyes to Jiang Wei and changed the subject as usual, "Boyue, there should be news from Chang'an, right? My uncle? My father? My third uncle and the others have already left for Luoyang, right?"

Jiang Wei replied truthfully: "We have already passed Wuguan, and we will be there in a few days..."

Guan Lin nodded, but his eyes were dimly focused, as if he was thoughtful.

Others saw Guan Lin's behavior and didn't bother him, but Fu Shiren was confused, scratched his head, and couldn't help asking: "What do you mean? This lord is here? Yun Chang and Yide are here. , What does this have to do with Cao Zhang, Cao Pi, and Cao Zhi, and what does this have to do with Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan? Third brother... can you speak more clearly? I'm confused."

Speaking of this, Fu Shiren scratched his head again...

He then asked eagerly: "What does this mean? Is there any relationship between these few things??"

Hearing Fu Shiren's words, Guan Lin smiled, and all the civil servants and counselors also laughed.

It was Guan Lin again. He faced Fu Shiren seriously, "Brother, you are asking two questions, one is Zhang Liao, and the other is the young masters of the Cao family... Then let me answer the first question first. My uncle and my father are both here. , then why didn't Cao Cao come here? The one who tied the bell must be untied, Zhang Liao...just leave it to Cao Cao. This is the fact. In many cases, a hundred words of advice from us...are not as good as one from Cao Cao! "

"That's right..." Xu Shu nodded repeatedly when he heard this, "Wen Yuan is a righteous man, and Cao Cao cherishes righteous men the most... Yun Qi said it well, to untie a bell, you must tie the bell..."

this…

Fu Shiren seemed to understand. What Guan Lin and Xu Shu meant was that Cao Cao would help them persuade Zhang Liao to surrender.

Of course, this sounds outrageous, and it’s not reliable at all to do...

But, this thing, it, just, just happened.

For a while, Fu Shiren was still thinking about the "unreasonable" vision of "Cao Cao persuading Zhang Liao to return to the Han Dynasty".

Guan Lin's words were recited again, "As for Cao Cao's sons, no, those rebellious sons of the Cao family..."

Having said this, Guan Lin paused for a moment, pondered for a moment, and then blurted out, "Well, we don't need to worry about it. I'm not dead yet... I can't see this 'cooking beans burning bean sprouts, beans weeping in the cauldron,' They are born from the same roots and are in conflict with each other. Why should things happen in a hurry?”

The words blurted out...

Guan Lin blinked his eyes deeply and meaningfully.

He was sure that Cao Cao would never accept this story of "commates fighting each other", and he would definitely take action, and the action would be Wang Zha——

Thinking of this, Guan Lin smiled, his smile was elegant and relaxed...

It was as if, to this day, this chess card... was still firmly in his hands, Guan Lin, so much so that he couldn't help but groan.

"The autumn wind is bleak, and the waves are rising——"

…

…

Luoyang, the center of the official medical office.

Zhang Liao's body had just been examined by Zhang Zhongjing and his eldest disciple Wang Shuhe.

It is no exaggeration to say that with those serious injuries, the dozens of serious sores all over his body, and the situation that almost broke his muscles and bones, even in Zhang Zhongjing's eyes, it was a miracle that he could save his life.

But who would have thought that just over a month had passed and most of Zhang Liao's wounds had healed.

Miracle!

This can be called a medical miracle!

"It is indeed a miracle medicine!" Even when Zhang Zhongjing walked out of Zhang Liao's room, he couldn't help but sigh...

The eldest disciple, Wang Shuhe, was holding the so-called "spiritual medicine" in his hand, but he followed Zhang Zhongjing absentmindedly.

Until they are gone...

Zhang Liao, who had not eaten for a day, slowly opened his eyes.

When he woke up yesterday, he was desperate. In his opinion... he might as well die...

It's better to be saved by the enemy than to live like this and die——

He was a righteous man. He had followed Ding Yuan, Dong Zhuo, and Lu Bu before, but due to general reasons, he had to change his family many times. However, no one in the world ever said that he was a traitor. Later, he followed Cao Cao, and he was the general of the Wei Dynasty who conquered the east. , what an honor? Cao Cao treated him well. Even if he lost the bet with Guan Lin, even if he was defeated and captured, how could he surrender easily?

It is precisely because of this that he cannot make the decision when he is unconscious.

But from the moment he woke up, he decided to go on a hunger strike.

——"Just let me end it on my own." 』

——"I will die for my loyalty!" 』

Just when Zhang Liao had this thought in his heart.

The sound outside the door suddenly came out, very clear. As the sound got closer and closer, Zhang Liao heard it clearly.

"Two liang of Angelica sinensis, two liang of Aconite, two liang of Asarum, two liang of Xiong, two liang of Dipsacus -"

Hmm…

--"What's this? 』

Zhang Liao thought to himself.

He felt a little confused...

The sound continued, and got closer.

"Two liang of Achyranthes bidentata, two liang of Tongcao, two liang of licorice, two liang of Angelica dahurica, three parts of Sichuan pepper, one liang of peony, one liang of astragalus——"

--"This is…"

——‘Could he be a disciple of Zhang Zhongjing in this medical office? Are you memorizing prescriptions? 』

When doubts rose in Zhang Liao's mind again, he couldn't help but open his eyes wide and look for information.

Just then.

With a "click", the door was pushed open, but there was a disciple of Zhang Zhongjing. Holding a medical book in his hand, it was Ling Tong who recited the medicinal formula line by line.

"You?" Zhang Liao groaned out unintentionally.

When Xiaoyao Jinshou met, he slashed Ling Tong more than a dozen times.

They met again in Sifang Mountain, and that time, they fought until the sky was dark.

After that, there was...the unbearable past, and that benefactor, that woman——

Then... no, it should be the last, that is, in the "challenge" outside Suanzao County, Zhang Wenyuan still lost to this young boy Ling Tong Ling Gongji——

However, no matter what, Zhang Liao would never have imagined that they would see each other again, let alone in this medical office, or even the way Ling Tong would hold the medical book in his hand and recite the prescription.

This is so unexpected and weird.

"Aren't you curious... You single-handedly fought against more than ten of our generals. No part of your body was intact, you were covered in bruises and you were dying. Why did you recover in just one month?"

When Ling Tong asked such a question, there was no doubt that even Zhang Liao, who was despairing, couldn't help but tremble with curiosity...huge curiosity.

"Why?"

He met Ling Tong's gaze.

Ling Tong pointed to the medical book in his hand, "What I just read is the prescription left by Miss Zhuo. It is the white ointment passed down by Zhuo family. Back in Xiaoyaojin, I was injured like you, and I also used this white ointment." Apply the ointment, but within half a month...he will be healed immediately, just like you this time."

It is still the record in "Wu Shu":

——The creation of Tong was so great that Quan left Tong in the boat and changed his clothes. His success was due to Zhuo's good medicine, so he won immortality.

It is precisely because of Ling Tong's statement...

It was as if a certain string in the memory, or in the body, was instinctively touched.

Turbulent memories flooded into my heart——

It's guilt, regret, confusion, and hatred...but there is only no love that should be there.

A long time has passed, and I originally thought that everything had been diluted, but now...it turns out not to be.

Nothing has been diluted, even if this memory has become dormant, it has been deeply imprinted in my heart after all.

"She is just a pure doctor. She just wants to save people, save everyone she meets and everyone she knows. What did she do wrong?"

Ling Tong's words continued.

When he said this, he took a deep breath.

Yes, when this memory stung Zhang Liao, what, wasn't it also stinging him?

"It has been found out..." Ling Tong was silent for a long time before he spoke, "It was Cao Zhen's personal guard who said it himself. It was him... who ordered the death of Zhuo Rong and then framed the blame on Soochow in exchange for your support. Soochow's deep hatred has achieved his goal..."

Having said this, Ling Tong paused, as if hesitating for a while, but finally... confessed everything, "Also, all this was Cao Zhen's plan, and Cao Cao didn't know..."

this…

Zhang Liao was silent for a long time. When he raised his head again, his face seemed even paler, "Why are you telling me this? And why are you helping King Wei clear the suspicion!"

"I'm not clearing the suspicion for Cao Cao..." Ling Tong smiled and shook his head: "It's Master Yunqi's order. He said that if he uses this to win your hatred for Cao Wei, then he and the treacherous and sinister Cao Zhen will What’s the difference?”

When he said this, Ling Tong glanced at the food on the table.

It was precisely this look that Zhang Liao quickly caught.

really…

Ling Tong's words made Zhang Liao lower his head. He sat on the bed, his eyes just looking at his knees, as if he was deep in thought, but also at a loss.

Finally, he opened his mouth and said, "I may disappoint you. No matter who you move out, I will never surrender. There are only the beheaded generals of the Wei Dynasty here, not his lackeys from Guan Lin Guan Yun Banner -"

Speaking of which, Zhang Liao pointed to the food and said, "Take it back. I, Zhang Liao, only eat the rations of the Wei Dynasty..."

"Ha, what do you mean, this is a hunger strike?" Ling Tong's tone was slightly sarcastic. Seeing that Zhang Liao no longer responded, he simply smiled, "Master Yunqi has never worried that you will go on a hunger strike, because it will take a few days. ...Cao Cao, whom you keep saying is coming to Luoyang... He is sure that you will save your life to see him..."

Having said this, Ling Tong placed the medical books on the dining table and turned around.

"It's useless to talk more. I'm an uninvited guest too. I'm leaving... As for this meal, it's up to you whether you want to eat it or not -"

After saying these last words, Ling Tong stepped out without hesitation.

However, his words have begun to echo repeatedly in Zhang Liao's mind.

The Zhuo's prescription on the dinner table made him unable not to think about that woman——

And the dishes on the dinner table made him unable not to wait for his king——

Finally, Zhang Liao stood up and took heavy steps. He walked to the dining table step by step, tore off a large piece of chicken, stuffed it into his mouth, and started chewing it.

At this time, Zhang Liao was really hungry——

…

…

Autumn silkworms scream sadly, one leaf falls to the ground and the whole place is desolate.

Cao Zhi was holding a portrait of the beautiful Luo Shen on the bed. In the picture, her eyebrows were like distant mountains containing smoke, her eyes were like autumn water, and her skin was whiter than snow, showing a faint ruddy color, just like the first blooming peach blossoms.

The black hair is as smooth as a waterfall, and occasionally a few strands of black hair brush her cheeks. The slightly raised corners of her mouth always seem to have a gentle smile. Her graceful figure, her steps are like lotus, and she is as light as the wind.

It can be said that you will never forget it once you see it, and you will fall in love with it again.

Finally, when he saw what he could see, Cao Zhi chanted with mixed emotions: "Its shape is as graceful as a startling giant, as graceful as a wandering dragon. The glory of autumn chrysanthemums, the splendor of spring pines...

At this time, Li Miao happened to come over. Seeing Cao Zhi looking at the picture in a daze, he couldn't help but poke his head over.

"Who is this?"

"This is the daughter of the Fuxi family. She drowned while crossing the Luoshui River and became a water god." Cao Zhi explained, "Look at her face, how beautiful it is? How alluring? Looking from a distance, it is as bright as the sun rising; Observe it, it is as bright as a flower emerging from Lubo..."

this…

How could Li Miao not see who was in this painting despite all his hard work?

He couldn't help but smile, "Do you miss her very much?"

"I...I can't wait to hold her tightly and never let go!"

"But, her identity is yours... No, her identity is the daughter of the Fuxi family..."

Li Miao almost said that she was your sister-in-law, but finally changed his story...

But Cao Zhi didn't mind, "Chen Ping, the founding hero of the Han Dynasty... was also called by his father as 'the man who steals his wife and gets money'. Can Chen Ping do it? So can I!"

At this time, Xiahou Dun burst in, "Oh, oh..."

As soon as he entered the door, he looked like he was beating his chest, "Hannan, Zijian... oh, you are so angry with me, so angry with me, then Cao Ziwen is so confused, he actually... he actually led the wolf into the house and opened the door of Yanmen. , attracted hundreds of thousands of barbarians into Bingzhou! He...he...he is confused!"

The words came out of my mouth...

Cao Zhi raised his eyes slightly, a little surprised, but in the end... this matter was still too insignificant compared to "Sister Zhen" in Cao Zhi's heart.

Li Miao was calm as if he had been prepared...

After all, this matter... has been rumored for a long time. Of course... In the end, many clans and generals of Cao Wei still believed in Cao Zhang and felt that he was not like this...

But never thought, never thought...he finally took the step of luring the wolf into the house!

Xiahou Dun, on the other hand, was a little confused. He was extremely indignant, but it was clearly communicated to his servants that Li Miao and Cao Zhi were both present in this room, but there was no response at all.

This is outrageous!

"Hannan? Zijian? Hannan? Zijian?"

Xiahou Dun asked as he felt like a blind man touching an elephant.

"Father..." Li Miao then helped Xiahou Dun up.

Cao Zhi also spoke, "General, please be patient—"

"You guys, how can you be so calm?" Xiahou Dun asked in surprise.

"Actually, I don't care whether Third Brother is confused..." Cao Zhi replied first: "Third Brother has always been reckless, adhering to the principle of defeating ten groups with one force, and has never hesitated to use ten times the force to achieve his goal, so... he is It wouldn't surprise me at all to recruit Hulu as foreign aid to fight for the throne of the Wei Dynasty!"

"You..." Xiahou Dun was stunned when he heard this.

But just after he chanted the word "you", a personal guard came in again and said eagerly: "General, Young Master, Mr. Li... Just now the third Young Master's messenger came here, saying that he brought a message to the Fourth Young Master and invited the four young masters. The young masters are meeting in Jinyang to discuss important matters, and the third young master even proposed that... as long as the young master joins the alliance, then... then he is willing to give up the great Wei to the fourth young master! "

As these words came out of his mouth, Li Miao was shocked.

Even if he doubts the authenticity of Cao Zhang's words, in fact, because of attracting barbarians into the Pass, Cao Zhang has undoubtedly lost his character. Under such a situation, from a political perspective, supporting his younger brother Cao Zhi to rise to power is more important than him. It would be much easier for Cao Zhang to directly fight for the king of Wei.

Li Miaoba frowned and said calmly: "Cao Zhang is either bluffing or treating you as a puppet..."

On the other hand, Cao Zhi looked silent, without any surprise. He seemed to have expected that this third brother would drag him along...

He slowly put away the painting in his hand.

Xiahou Dun said angrily: "The Lord of the Wei Dynasty? How can he decide? How can he be allowed to give way?"

Cao Zhi was still scrolling the painting silently. He looked eagerly and sadly at Fuxi's daughter - Luo Shen!

Until I watched it for a long, long time...

It wasn't until the scroll was fully painted that Cao Zhi said: "I have decided to promise my third brother -"

ah…

Xiahou Dun was shocked.

Li Miao suddenly understood something.

Sure enough, Cao Zhi's heart was not in the position of the heir at all. He completely ignored Xiahou Dun's advice and just chanted while talking, "It seems like the moon is covered by light clouds, and the snow flutters like the flowing wind..." The flying bird is as erratic as a god, and the waves are moving slightly, and the socks are dusty. "

At this moment, even Li Miao couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and thought to himself:

——"Cao Zijian is not a stupid person, he knows full well that Cao Zhang's words and deeds are actually taking advantage of him!" 』

——'However, he no longer cares, because only by helping Cao Zhang defeat Cao Pi can he win back his sister Zhen in Yecheng! 』

——"Puppet or not?" To him, it is not important at all! 』

——‘Now it depends on Master Yunqi’s plan to make plans! 』

…

…

Guan Yu finally ended his thousand-mile raid on Hanzhong and Chang'an cities.

Now, returning to Luoyang with his eldest brother Liu Bei, third brother Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Fazheng and others, it feels a bit like returning home in triumph with success and fame.

Outside the city gate, the ministers and soldiers lined up to greet him, playing music, and the people crowded around to watch.

When the army entered the city, Liu Bei sat high on his horse. When he saw Luoyang New City, he couldn't help but sigh...

This is no longer the Luoyang city he is familiar with.

The Luoyang City when he was studying in Fengshi Mountain was very different from what it is now. This is the Luoyang City that has experienced the quenching flames and has been reborn again!

Not only Luoyang City has changed, Liu Bei has also changed.

During the Fengshi Mountain period, he was just a younger brother who followed Gongsun Zan, and was just a companion to his elder brother Liu Yuanqi.

But now... he can walk into the city with his head held high, and he can tell the world and the world that he, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, has defeated so many heroes and is the final winner in this troubled world...

And his benevolence finally defeated his tyranny and kingliness, and was the root of winning all of this.

Zhang Fei was also riding a horse. Compared with Liu Bei's complicated state of mind, his thoughts were much simpler, and he had a sense of déjà vu that Zhang Yide had come back to kill him again.

Of course, the last time I was here was in Xuchang, and this time it was Luoyang, separated by the Songshan Mountain...

Yes, and Rangshan...

After all, he was the wife he picked up in Rangshan back then!

Now, back to the Central Plains again, back to the land of Sili, the past events are still vivid in my mind... It makes people daydream endlessly!

At this moment... Zhang Fei saw his daughter Zhang Xingcai.

Speaking of which, Zhang Xingcai left for Luoyang a few days earlier, but... it seems that he has just arrived, but that is not important. What is important is that... his daughter Zhang Xingcai has been looking around, as if she is looking for something?

Involuntarily, Zhang Fei couldn't help but scratch his head and became curious.

Behind Zhang Fei was a carriage. The luxurious oil-walled carriage showed the extraordinary identity of the rider, who was Cao Cao.

He slowly moved the car curtain, but looked at the current Luoyang City with extremely complicated emotions. Yes, to be more precise, it was the Luoyang City that now belonged to the Han Dynasty and Liu Bei.

At this time, a voice sounded first.

It's Guan Lin.

"Uncle, father, third uncle, Uncle Fa, Uncle Zilong, Old General Huang... Guan Lin has been waiting here for a long time——"

Change the image of a rebellious son in the past.

This time, Guan Lin personally greeted him in front of the city gate.

Seeing his son so sensible for the first time, Guan Yu felt a little strange...this boy? In this life, when have you ever welcomed him?

This kid, as long as he can not be angry, it is already a blessing for Guan Yu.

Haha, this kid is still a ghost!

There are too many people, too many elders, but... he pretends?

Thinking of this, Guan Yu's phoenix eyes opened and closed, and there was a feeling of facing a great enemy.

"Hahahaha..."

Zhang Fei laughed and stepped forward. He was the first to turn over and dismount. He looked at Guan Lin, turned back to Liu Bei, and explained hurriedly: "Brother, this is the one I often mentioned to you, the fourth son of the Guan family, Guan Lin, Guan Yunqi, who wrote "Fighting God" and "Yun Biechuan"... Hahaha, we can win in Shuzhong and Hanzhong, thanks to the two books written by Guan Lin!"

Hearing this, Liu Bei also turned over and dismounted. He and Fa Zheng stepped forward together.

Walking in front of Guan Lin.

Guan Lin bowed and was about to pay his respects.

"Nephew greets uncle..."

Today is destined to be the most sensible day for Guan Lin.

His knees almost bent while he was talking…

As expected, Liu Bei helped him up, then smiled and said: "Driving the eight dragons gently, carrying the cloud flags, I remember that the name Yunqi was given to you by my uncle, which is a line from Li Sao in "Chu Ci". At that time... the meaning of my uncle was... to use this name to express the vision that the flag of the Han Dynasty would be raised again in the Central Plains, and to express the vision that the Han and the thieves would not coexist, and the king's cause would not be partial. But who would have thought that the vision would come true, and these were really realized in you, Yunqi, and the Han Dynasty really saw the dawn and hope of the unification of the world!"

Speaking of this, Liu Bei sighed and chanted again and again: "Driving the eight dragons gently, carrying the cloud flags, Yunqi, Yunqi, what a Guan Lin Guan Yunqi!"

This great praise was chanted by Liu Bei in front of so many civil and military officials, many soldiers, and many civilians, and many onlookers applauded.

And those scholars shook their heads and chanted the upper and lower sentences of the "Li Sao" that Liu Bei chanted.

"The road is long and difficult, and many carriages are waiting on the road-"

"Drive the eight dragons gently, and carry the cloud flags-"

"Play the Nine Songs and dance the Shao, and have fun on holidays-"

These voices are getting louder and louder, and they are catchy, expressing the gratitude of all the loyal Han people to Guan Lin!

With the sound, Guan Lin was embarrassed, which was rare. He scratched his head and said shyly, "I am embarrassed that my uncle praised me so much..."

"Hahaha..."

Now Liu Bei laughed, and Fa Zheng also laughed. The two looked at each other, and Liu Bei continued, "There is nothing to be embarrassed about. If the Han Dynasty can prosper again in the future, I will ask the emperor to build a huge golden bronze statue for you, so that the world, the millions of Han people, the millions of common people, and our descendants who will carry on the past and open up the future, will all remember..."

Speaking of this, Liu Bei paused, then put his right hand on Guan Lin's shoulder, and then emphasized his tone and said more solemnly, "I want everyone to remember that you, Guan Lin Guan Yunqi, you are the greatest meritorious person in the Three Revivals of the Han Dynasty——"

Uh...

Liu Bei's words stunned Guan Lin.

Huge golden bronze statue?

What he thought of was the one in Xiangyang City in the future... The big knife was seventy meters long and one hundred and thirty-eight tons of copper...

With a memory that he couldn't bear to look back on...

-- He, Guan Lin, was crushed to death by that big knife before he traveled through time!

Of course, these are all nonsense...

Guan Lin only had one question, should his bronze statue be built in this way?

It seems... it's unnecessary!

Guan Lin hurriedly said, "Uncle, what are you talking about? I... I am just a junior, how can I be worthy of the first merit of the Three Revitalizations?"

Guan Lin looked around at everyone in front of him, and then continued to chant: "Uncle, Uncle Fa Zheng, Third Uncle, Uncle Zilong, General Huang... and Military Advisor Zhuge, you are the first meritorious people of the Three Revitalizations! As for the golden body bronze statue... uh... forget it? It's so big, and it's a waste of money and labor, but the key is that it's quite creepy to think about it... If it's really built, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep peacefully."

After Guan Lin said this...

"Hahahaha..." Liu Bei and Fa Zheng laughed again.

Liu Bei even turned to Guan Yu while laughing, "Yunchang, whether it's you or the people... it's always spread to Chengdu that there is a rebellious son in the Guan family in Jingzhou! But today, I see, how can there be a rebellious son in Jingzhou? This is clearly a unicorn child who understands etiquette, knows how to advance and retreat, and knows gains and losses... He is a filial son and a good son——"

This...

The topic suddenly turned to Guan Yu, and for a moment, he didn't know how to answer.

Filial son?

A loud "filial"?

It is undeniable that his son today is really good at pretending——

However, if he keeps pretending like this, it makes him, as a father, seem more and more... Especially in the process of playing games and confronting with this son, he was so wrong and heartbroken!

Of course, if it were the Guan Yu in the past, he would definitely argue and defend himself.

But now, he no longer has the arrogance of the past. Hearing Liu Bei say this, "Haha..." He just stroked his empty long beard habitually, but after stroking it, he found that... everything has changed, even his long beard has changed.

"Maybe as my elder brother said, Yunqi is a filial son, a filial son... but he always acts in a unique way. Many times, before the truth comes out, it is inevitable that people will misunderstand him as a rebellious son... It's my fault, it's all my fault——"

The first one to blame me, Guan Yu said to Liu Bei.

But the second person to blame me was what Guan Yu said to Guan Lin... It was like the most sincere and sincere apology from his father!

Guan Lin didn't speak, but he turned his eyes to his father...

Thousands of words, but everything seems to fall into place.

Is that so?

From Guan Yu's answer, Liu Bei seemed to have realized something. He smiled lightly and said: "Yun Chang, whether he is a filial son or a rebellious son, what if he is actually the rebellious son of the Guan family? Who said that the rebellious son of the Guan family cannot be Long Youjing? Xiang? If you say that the rebellious son of the Guan family can't protect the Yan Han? If Yun Qi is a rebellious son, if there are ten or a hundred more rebellious sons, it will be us, the great man, and the blessing of thousands of people in this world! "

Liu Bei's words... Guan Yu was a little touched.

But it was Cao Cao who was more touched.

In the carriage, he could only lift the curtain and look at Guan Lin from a distance, who had been fighting for three years, winning for three years, and making Cao Cao completely defeated for three years.

Of course, it was Guan Lin who made Cao Cao calm for a long time and completely stopped having headaches.

Everything in the past three years comes into view...

There is anger, sadness, regret, annoyance, dissatisfaction, depression, hesitation, shouting, and despair...

These scenes flashed before Cao Cao's eyes like a fleeting cloud.

Finally, he couldn't help but imitate Liu Bei's words and murmured.

"The treacherous son of the Guan family, Long You Jingxiang!"

"The treacherous son of the Guan family, Long Youyanhan!"

"The treacherous son of the Guan family, will the dragon protect China?"

After murmuring these three sentences in succession, his throbbing heart calmed down a little, as if he had completely found his destination and the pure land of his soul.

Perhaps, Cao Cao should also thank Guan Lin!

At least Guan Lin gave him this one, which was destined to be the "highest" and "most brilliant" cry——

Of course, before completing this matter, he had to meet one person first. That was Cao Cao's general who conquered the east and was the most heroic warrior in the Wei Dynasty.

In fact, the only person who can accomplish this feat for Cao Cao now is Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan!

…

…

Because the emperor was studying medicine and went out to collect medicine.

Liu Bei could not meet with him immediately, so Guan Lin led Liu Bei to visit this new Luoyang.

We were talking and laughing all the way, and the atmosphere was quite peaceful.

Especially when he arrived in front of the palace in Luoyang City, Liu Bei couldn't help but stop.

"When I was in Changsha, I took in the son of the Kou family and named him Liu Feng. Later, I gave birth to Adou. I named him Liu Chan. One letter and one Zen, so he was named Fengchan... It's because of these two names. , there will always be in the north There are rumors that I, Liu Bei, have a disloyal heart... and covet the throne of the emperor! Some people dug up my childhood memory and pointed it at the big mulberry tree in the courtyard... saying that I would ride in the Yubaogai chariot... and used this to fabricate rumors and frame me!"

Speaking of this, Liu Bei looked a little lonely and desolate...

It was like this "Feng" and "Zen" suddenly touched every nerve in him, and there were many hidden secrets hidden in them.

"Then why did the uncle take the names of 'Feng' and 'Zen'?"

call…

Liu Bei took a deep breath, pondered for a moment, and finally revealed his original secret.

"After I received the emperor's imperial edict, there was not a day when I didn't want to defeat the rebels and revive the Han Dynasty. But after escaping from Xuchang, I was defeated first by Xuzhou, then by Yanjin, then by Runan, and then by Runan. Nan, then I saw how frustrated I was when I saw that Cao Cao could even destroy Yuan Shao?"

"I only had a few thousand soldiers in Xinye, but I still decided to go to Xuchang in the northern expedition. The Han and the traitors were not at odds with each other, but... they were defeated again. At that time... I was almost desperate. In my opinion... because of my incompetence, the emperor had no power. Saved! I was thinking at that time, if the emperor couldn't save it, could the Han Dynasty be saved? The Han Dynasty needed another way to revive it!

Speaking of this, Liu Bei paused.

"Soon... I figured it out. The disparity between us and the enemy was too great. The emperor might not be able to save him, but the big man could. So at that time, I had my adopted son Liu Feng and my biological son Liu Chan. What I meant... was that the big man couldn't. Admit defeat, even if I can't save the emperor, I will use my own way to save this big man. I never thought that such behavior would be exploited by Ni Wei and gain countless infamy. This was something I lacked in thinking at the time. But at that time, how could I have imagined that one day I would be able to come to Luoyang as a winner? , to be able to face the emperor who entrusted his wealth and life to me again!"

Um...this...

When Liu Bei chanted these words, Guan Lin was shocked.

Even though he had been a man for two generations, he never thought that the so-called "Feng" and "Zen" in the names of Liu Feng and Liu Chan were actually taken out by Liu Bei out of despair.

He would never have imagined that Liu Bei was preparing for the worst, not for anything else, but to give him a belief to persevere.

Thoughts on this…

Guan Lin took a deep breath and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions.

He opened his mouth again, as if he had something to say, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Liu Bei, on the other hand, seemed to feel the weight of the topic here, so he asked Guan Lin, "Yun Qi should have reached the crown, right? I heard from your father that you are still unmarried at such an age? There are a few of my wife Wu family who are of the right age. You might as well bring them over and let Yun Qi choose them. If there are any chosen ones, your uncle will be your matchmaker!"

Mrs. Wu…

Zi is Wu Yi's sister and Liu Bei's first wife after Sun Shangxiang left.

The introduction of the daughter of the head wife's family also shows that Liu Bei attaches great importance to Guan Lin.

only…

Guan Lin hasn't spoken yet.

"Hahahaha..." With a pair of proud laughter, Zhang Fei opened his mouth first, "Brother, I won't bother you about Yun Qi's marriage. He and my daughter Xingcai were childhood sweethearts... I won't bother my sister-in-law this time. Introduced! Ah, hahahaha..."

Zhang Fei burst out laughing as he spoke, smiling so proudly that he was the first to take the lead and get there first...

Zhang Fei was laughing.

Seeing Zhang Fei's behavior and Guan Lin's acquiescence, Liu Bei understood...

"That's it, that's it! It almost made my uncle a little confused..."

As he spoke, Liu Bei smiled and raised his hand, "That's the best...the second brother and the third brother can be said to be close to each other...but what about Xingcai? Didn't she come with the army this time?"

Zhang Fei was also curious about this...

I just saw my daughter at the city gate before, but in a blink of an eye, she disappeared...

I don’t even know what my girlfriend is doing secretly?

But what a coincidence!

It can be said that Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived——

I just mentioned Zhang Xingcai...

But the sound of horse hoofbeats suddenly sounded... It turned out that there was a woman riding a horse on the street, coming towards this direction.

Chen Dao and Zhao Yun, both of whom had served as Liu Bei's bodyguards, immediately became vigilant and couldn't help but press their hands on the scabbard of their swords...

But as the sound of horse hooves got closer and closer, they saw clearly that it was Zhang Xingcai, and their hearts immediately fell to the ground.

But I heard the sound of "Dede" and the horse neighing...

Zhang Xingcai quickly got off his horse and walked forward full of energy.

"Xingcai girl?"

She ignored Chen Dao's shouts...and kept walking forward, getting closer and closer to Guan Lin.

"Daughter, what are you doing?"

Zhang Fei saw something was wrong... and asked questions quickly.

At this time, Zhang Xingcai had already walked in front of Guan Lin.

"Xingcai?"

Seeing her strange, angry expression, Guan Lin subconsciously asked. "What are you doing?"

What responded to him was not Zhang Xingcai's words, but the fist he had gathered, which hit Guan Lin directly on the chest.

There was such a moment...

Guan Lin felt that his sternum was about to be broken, but Zhang Xingcai had to hold back his strength, otherwise this punch would definitely knock him down.

Now, Guan Lin was even more confused. He could only look at Zhang Xingcai with an innocent face.

This...what is going on?

It’s just long time no see——

But if we meet, we will seriously maim someone?

Never thought...

Zhang Xingcai still didn't answer, but she burst into tears. The originally resolute woman suddenly burst into tears, and her tears were like huge bead curtains...

"Guan Lin... Guan... Guan Lin, you... you heartless——"

The moment the last sentence was uttered.

Zhang Xingcai had already turned around. This time she didn't even bother to look for the horse. She just covered her face alone... covering the bead-like tears, and ran away...

ah?

conscience?

ungrateful?

Guan Lin became more and more confused. He suddenly had a feeling, a very strong feeling.

Did Zhang Xingcai meet a scumbag?

Then...wait a minute, it seems that this scumbag who always gives up but always gives up is Guan Lin himself?

"Ix-on:#$&? 』

"What's going on?" 』

There are stupid fruits on the stupid tree, and there is only me under the stupid tree——

Guan Lin already felt completely dizzy.

Zhang Fei was scratching his head and confused, while Liu Bei squinted, trying to guess Zhang Xingcai's thoughts.

Fa Zheng reacted the fastest, and he quickly pushed Guan Lin.

"Why don't you go chase it quickly?"

What returned to Fazheng was Guan Lin's innocent eyes. He seemed to be asking - can I catch up?

"Yun Qi, when it comes to strategizing, aren't you very clever? How can you read people's hearts? How come now..." Fazheng immediately understood Guan Lin's meaning and quickly reminded, "Hurry up and chase Xingcai. She was unhappy, she deliberately stayed behind to let you catch up..."

ah…

Guan Lin was surprised.

This time, it was Liu Bei who pushed him hard, causing him to chase Zhang Xingcai as he ran away.

This...what is going on?

yes! What's going on?

Not only Guan Lin, everyone was confused.

But at some point, a maidservant quietly walked to Guan Yu's side. This maidservant was the maid of Guan Yu's wife Hu Jinding. She put her mouth to Guan Yu's ear and whispered in a voice that only Guan Yu could hear. Chant something.

In an instant, Guan Yu, who was just as confused as everyone else, suddenly changed his expression. His pupils were widened, and his mouth even opened in an extremely uncivilized manner. In the eyes of everyone, this panicked look...previously Guan Yu has never appeared before.

"Second brother? What's wrong?"

Liu Bei quickly asked...

Guan Yu pondered over and over again, but still did not dare to deceive his elder brother, "Alas..." He clenched his fist suddenly, and then said with great annoyance, "It's Yun Qi... It's Yun Qi, the rebellious son, he... he actually fucked the belly of Sun Quan's daughter Sun Luyu It’s so big, now... Sun Luyu from Jiangdong is about to give birth!”

"What?"

Zhang Fei was the first to exclaim and the first to react.

He was always slow to react, but this time his brain circuits were extremely fast.

So much so that he hurriedly chanted: "This...this...isn't this possible?"

That's right... How come Guan Lin, the prospective son-in-law, is suddenly going to have a baby? This...what is going on?
