Three Kingdoms: The Reverse Son of the Guan Family, Dragon Blessing Jingxiang

Chapter 377 My son cannot be allowed to fight alone——

Guan Yu has been fighting in the Fancheng area for too long and is very familiar with the terrain here and even every city here.

For example, Xiangyang City is made of masonry. This kind of city wall is too expensive and can only be built in this way in important military towns.

Therefore, cities such as Fancheng, Pinglu City, Yancheng, and Xinye City to the north of Xiangyang City all have rammed earth walls.

Even the Changsha New City and Jiangling New City newly built by Guan Lin are also rammed earth walls.

However, you need to know...

Even rammed earth walls had already taken shape during the Qin and Han Dynasties, and their ability to withstand ramming vehicles and trebuchet bombings was extremely strong.

And what are you afraid of with this kind of rammed earth wall?

Guan Yu understood very well that what this rammed earth wall was afraid of was time and the Dragon King.

It's not that this kind of rammed earth wall will collapse as soon as it is washed by water or soaked in water, but if it is soaked for a long time, the wall will gradually disintegrate and collapse.

Just like that, Fancheng, Pinglu City, Yancheng and Xinye City are all antiques.

Fancheng was built during the reign of King Xuan of Zhou Dynasty, in 800 BC.

Yancheng, also known as Yanyue City, was built relatively recently, but it was built hastily by Cao Cao and used as an angle with Fancheng. In terms of city defense, it was not as good as Fancheng.

Xinye City was built in the early Western Han Dynasty, more than 400 years ago.

Pinglu City was a feudal city built by Zhongshanfu around 800 BC, a thousand years ago.

This is why three years later, after the heavy rain that lasted for more than ten days and the Han River surged, Guan Yu keenly captured the opportunity and diverted water to flood the city, creating the legend of flooding seven armies!

Among them, Guan Yu's keenness in catching fighter planes, but also the fact that these city walls really can't withstand water attacks!

Now, even though the time of flooding the Seventh Army is three years ahead of schedule.

But because of Guan Lin's reminder, Guan Yu had already thought about diverting water to irrigate the city.

This is a completely new idea.

He has even begun to think that the purpose of this Juebei Road is not only to prevent Cao's army from going south and to block Fancheng's supplies, but more importantly, to understand the geography there...

Occupy all the favorable terrain, and then help his son Guan Lin launch a water attack and divert water to pour back.

At this moment, after Guan Yu's passionate words, the military meeting of Guan Jiajun also ended.

Guan Yu walked out of the military tent and planned to go to Xiangyang City. He wanted to take one last look at the brat Guan Lin before Juebei Road.

Unexpectedly, Guan Yinping chased him out and caught up with Guan Yu.

father…

As Guan Yinping spoke, Guan Yu asked, Yinping has something to say?

Guan Yinping nodded, My daughter wants to ask her father, is the purpose of his 'Juebei Road' this time to help Yun Qi?

Well…

Suddenly his daughter saw through his thoughts, which made Guan Yu's already nervous mood even more tense. He was still deliberately concealing his mood.

The fourth brother plans to use the Han River to flood the city and capture Fancheng in July and August, and decide the winner with Cao Ren...

Before Guan Yinping could continue speaking, Guan Yu had already signaled her not to speak. Guan Yu took a deep breath and finally let go of his unimportant dignity as a father.

My father knows about Yun Qi's plan, and he also believes that with Yun Qi's ability, he will be able to complete the diversion of water into the city, and make Cao Ren and 50,000 Cao troops a drowned chicken...

At this point, Guan Yu paused, and his tone became heavier, But it's only December now, and there are still seven or eight months before Yun Qi's plan. Soldiers are unpredictable, and water is unpredictable... As a father, All we can do is to minimize this accident and complete all prerequisites to prepare for Yunqi's water attack at any time!

Guan Yu said this on his lips, but what he said in his heart was more tender.

——My son has done so much for his father, for Jingzhou, and for the Han Dynasty? As a father, you have to do something for you, right? 』

——My son cannot be left to fight alone! 』

Yes, in the past, the North Road was that Guan Yu did not take Cao Jun seriously and sent a mere 30,000 Guan troops deep into Fancheng's enemy rear to block all invading enemies!

This is arrogance and arrogance.

But now Guan Yu, everything he did was just foreshadowing.

In Guan Yu's view, it will be impossible in the future...

But now, he can spare no effort to help his son.

If this was a huge achievement, he would willingly hand over all of it to his son, Yun Qi!

Nowadays, Guan Lin's position in Guan Yu's mind has become even more important——

Just as Guan Yinping was talking to Guan Yu.

General... Zhou Cang also caught up with Guan Yu. He had received the latest information and quickly reported: Mrs. Huang Yueying has arrived in Xiangyang City, and the Fourth Young Master is greeting her at the city gate!

Well…

Guan Yu's eyes were slightly startled, he was convinced by Zhuge Liang.

Because Zhuge Liang...he will also look up to Huang Yueying.

In addition, Huang Yueying's reputation as an expert in astronomy, aware of changes, and good at ingenuity is also widely spread throughout Jingzhou...

For a time, Guan Yu was even more looking forward to the sparks from the collision between his son Guan Lin and Huang Yueying!

Okay. Guan Yu just agreed, then turned around and walked away slowly.

The plan to go to Xiangyang City to see his son was temporarily shelved.

He walked directly into his military tent. Even his steps were no longer the same as before. He had become much more restrained. Today's Guan Yu is far less domineering than he used to be.

Entering the military tent, there were two books placed by Guan Yu's bedside.

One is a brand new copy of The Biography of the Zuo Family in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it has some dust on it;

One is Sun Tzu's Art of War... The book has been torn and damaged.

Guan Yu habitually took out The Art of War by Sun Tzu and opened one chapter, but he couldn't help but think of Guan Lin's words. Before reading it at night, he smiled and recited the sentence.

My son said, the bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish -

After blurting out a sentence, his eyes couldn't help but look to the other side of Han River.

Different from the past, a new battlefield is about to open——

In past battles, Guan Yu relied on his own bravery.

But now in the war, he relies on his own bravery and his son's wisdom.

The so-called brothers fighting tigers, father and son go into battle!

…

…

At the top of Xiangyang City, countless torches illuminated the dark night like day.

Guan Lin and Huang Yueying climbed to the top of the city. Huang Yueying still wore a veil, covering her entire cheeks tightly.

On the other hand, her eyes suddenly gained a bit of complexity, looking at the location of Huangjiawan between Xiangfan and Xiangfan, which was Huang Yueying's home for twenty years!

Now it looks pitch dark, with no lights, as if... no one has lived in it for a long time, and it is already dilapidated.

Huang Yueying exhaled softly, inevitably feeling a little sentimental. She didn't like small talk, so she went straight to the point: Xiangfan is separated by a river. If the navy can capture Fancheng, why do you have to ask me for help in astronomy, geography, and water conservancy? What’s the best way to divert the Han River into Fancheng?”

This question made Guan Lin ponder for a moment, and he pointed at Fancheng and explained truthfully: First, it is the dry season, the water level is too shallow, and warships cannot travel on the Han River. Secondly...Mrs. Huang, this small Fancheng can... There are 50,000 Cao troops hidden! There are many famous generals including Cao Ren, Xu Huang, Yu Jin, and Pang De...

Having said this, Guan Lin paused for a moment and said in deep thought: If we attack by force, we will injure the enemy one thousand and injure ourselves eight hundred... It seems that such a loss can be accepted as long as Fancheng is captured. But I have this shortcoming. See We must not allow unnecessary casualties and losses among our soldiers... If casualties can be avoided, I am willing to wait even for seven or eight months until the water rises!

Guan Lin is not pitiful, but has personally experienced this era. After experiencing the battlefield, he will know how miserable the soldiers of this era are.

One general's success and ten thousand bones withered is really not just talk.

Take the previous defeat of the Guan family army as an example.

If there is no mustard stew, even a small tetanus can take the lives of a large number of soldiers. These are fresh lives, and more importantly, Guan Lin's soldiers.

What's more, Guan Lin obviously knew that in three years there would be a rainy weather lasting more than ten days, which could flood the Seventh Army and win a complete victory!

Guan Lin only needs to imitate the cat and imitate the tiger. As long as he can meet several conditions for diverting water into Fancheng this year, he can avoid huge casualties and win without bloodshed.

Therefore, Guan Lin really never thought about attacking by force.

Listening to Guan Lin's words and looking at the change of expression on Guan Lin's cheek, Huang Yueying sighed: Unexpectedly, you are different from those generals, you are still a compassionate person, but... you asked me about the climate forecast for Xiangfan...

Speaking of this, Huang Yueying shook her head and chanted softly, The Hongmeng divides the divisions, and the yin and yang begin to line up. The light and clear floating ones are the sky, and their essence is yang; the heavy and turbid ones that condense down are the earth, and their essence is yin... Everything in the world intersects , Yin and Yang pass, changes and developments are endless. There is no same weather, nor the same geographical location, people and people...Based on this, you ask me to predict the weather in July and August next year today? How can I predict it accurately? ?”

this…

Following Huang Yueying's words, Guan Lin suddenly realized that he was too young and too naive.

Thinking about it, disaster weather... the weather forecasts of later generations may not be accurate, let alone Huang Yueying of this era, Guan Lin thought... It seems that his expectations are a bit too high.

There's no way to predict the weather!

I was thinking of changing my approach instead of asking about heavy rains, and instead asked how to dig through the Han River? Where to build water reservoirs? How to divert water for irrigation?

This is equivalent to changing an astronomical and meteorological problem into a physics problem.

Never thought…

Huang Yueying's voice came out again: Although it is impossible to predict, there are still some rules to follow.

this…

Guan Lin's eyes suddenly opened wide.

law?

That's right. Huang Yueying nodded, pointing to Huangjiawan, I have lived there since I was a child, and I like to record all kinds of things, including annual heavy rains, water flows, weather... I found that every three years, Xiangfan There will be a heavy rain in the Han River that lasts for several days, and the heavy rain causes the Han River to surge... So every three years, the Han River floods Huangjiawan, and my father and I need to go out for refuge, so I remember it very clearly ! As for if it lasts longer, there will definitely be a disaster on the Han River between Xiangfan and Xiangfan within ten years, which is recorded in the local chronicles.

Three years?

ten years?

Guan Lin recalled, based on his visits and inquiries during this period.

In 213, the 18th year of Jian'an, there was a heavy rain in Xiangfan. The heavy rain almost washed away Pinglu City on the west side of Fan City, and the entire Xiangyang received a huge threat.

According to the description of the sergeant of the Guan Family Army, his father Guan Yu wanted to take advantage of the flood to attack Xiangfan, but that year his uncle Liu Bei and Liu Zhang broke up, and the pressure on the Western Front battlefield was huge, so he did not take advantage of the situation to make the Northern Expedition.

Many sergeants of the Guan Family Army have testified to this.

Then three years later, that is, the 24th year of Jian'an, that is the year in history when Dad flooded the Seventh Army. If... we infer based on this, the law proposed by Huang Yueying can be followed, and it seems It’s a bit reliable!

Immediately, Guan Lin's eyes lit up.

He was even thinking about how to take advantage of this law of nature and cooperate with digging dams to divert the Han River back into the river...

If this is the case, then...the larger the number of Cao's troops, the worse their defeat will be.

The most ideal situation is that Guan Lin finds a way to attract all Cao's troops, and then hundreds of thousands of troops pour in... all of them are submerged here and become fish and shrimps in the water!

This is how to cut off Cao Cao's roots!

Once and for all!

Sure enough, Huang Yueying's words continued, According to the rules in my memory, Xiangfan has a flood every three years and a disaster every ten years. If you want to take advantage of the heavy rain in Yunqi, then maybe you can take advantage of the flood period next year, but If the plan uses disasters caused by heavy rain, that may not be enough...

Huang Yueying blinked, So...

Before Huang Yueying could continue, Guan Lin handed over his hand first, pretending to be eager to learn, Mrs. Huang is very familiar with the Xiangfan waterway here... Where ditches were dug to divert the Han River, where dams were built in advance to store water, these... I still need Mrs. Huang’s advice.”

this…

A polite young man bowed and saluted under the moonlight. This knowledgeable appearance and the atmosphere under the moonlight made Huang Yueying feel a wanton reverie in her heart.

She was thinking, if...if she and Kong Ming had a son, he would be this old, right?

With this in mind, Huang Yueying smiled and said: You don't need to salute me. Since I'm here, I will help you draw the entire drawing... It's just...

It seems that Huang Yueying has other requirements.

Guan Lin directly interjected: Young man understands, this time the water is poured back, this junior is just to win, not to hurt innocent people. After taking Fancheng, we must first save the people and avoid the destruction of life.

Huang Yueying has lived in Huangjiawan since she was a child, and she has feelings for the people around her...

She couldn't bear the loss of life because of her.

The battlefield is ruthless. Someone will eventually take this ruthless step, but if you think so, I feel relieved...

At this point, the plan to divert water into Fancheng was finally finalized.

Huang Yueying originally wanted to ask about the Mianshui Villa, the workshop, and the series of strange inventions, especially the compound bow that her uncle Huang Zhong had been trying.

He even wanted to ask his father Huang Chengyan about his health through Guan Lin and ask about his recent status.

Huang Yueying had no way of asking Huang Chengyan about this. As soon as he asked Huang Chengyan, he started to complain, saying that daughters are raised by outsiders and marrying off a daughter is a waste of water!

It's almost like an old father who is extremely nagging after seeing his daughter.

It was Guan Lin who spoke first: Actually, I have something else to do today...

Huang Yueying deliberately rolled her eyes at Guan Lin and said jokingly: You kid, I just came here and you asked two things...

The following matter is not the matter of this junior, but... As he spoke, Guan Lin waved to the soldiers on the side, Zhuge Yuanxun, what are you waiting for? Why don't you come to see your mother?

As soon as Guan Lin finished speaking...

I saw a handsome young man walking over quickly. He lowered his head and seemed a little shy.

When he walked to Huang Yueying's side.

With a click sound, he knelt down directly, My little boy, Zhuge Ke, pays homage to his mother——

At this moment, Huang Yueying realized that this... was probably Zhuge Ke, the son adopted by her eldest brother Zhuge Jin to her husband.

He seems a bit older, but he is very handsome, polite, and has an extraordinary bearing...

Overall, Huang Yueying is satisfied.

You are Yuan Xun, or... Ke'er?

Following this voice, under the moonlight...

Zhuge Ke finally met this legendary mother;

Huang Yueying finally has a son for the first time!

The moon was extraordinarily round this night, and the word reunion seemed to be written on it!

…

…

Yecheng, palace.

Xiahou Dun's son, Xiahou Mao, came in a menacing manner with a group of excited generals.

Xia Houmao took the lead and knelt heavily on his knees, shouting in heartbreaking pain, Dad, General Han Hao is dead. He died in the hands of Zhang Fei. Dad, I want to fight. You can go to Bashu or Jingzhou. , I want to avenge Han Hao!

Xiahou Dun was half sitting on the bed, coughing...

Han Hao was the lieutenant promoted by Xiahou Dun. He was from Hanoi County. He was Yuan Shu's cavalry captain first. He was valued by Xiahou Dun and then joined Cao Ying.

In the past, Xiahou Dun counterattacked Puyang and was captured by assassins sent by Lu Bu. When everyone was panicking, only Han Hao shouted, Am I going to let you do whatever you want because of a general?

One sentence frightened the thieves out of their courage... and also allowed Xiahou Dun to get out of trouble.

When there was a famine and lack of food, Han Hao rushed to the farmers to save the famine and decided to farm!

Later, during the Northern Expedition against the Yuan clan and the four prefectures, Han Hao was appointed to be in charge of the imperial army together with Shi Huan. He was the most trusted person of Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun.

You know, before Xiahou Dun went blind, it was Xiahou Dun who was in charge of the imperial army!

Because of this, Han Hao has a very high status in Cao's camp and is very popular. Now that he died at the hands of Zhang Fei, the generals have been quarreling and excited, even making Xiahou Dun's cough sound a little louder. desolate.

——Cough cough cough…

Xiahou Dun was also very sad. He managed to stand up. His son Xiahou Dun came and beat his father's back in sorrow.

After I became blind in one eye, I was responsible for farming and recruiting. I was away from the battlefield for a long time... No one is more saddened by Yuan Si's death than me! But what else can I do?

Xiahou Dun had never won a battle in his life. He would not naively think that his combat power would develop by leaps and bounds after becoming disabled.

His son Xia Houmao reminded: Dad, didn't the Prime Minister just send an edict to recruit troops? Doesn't this edict make father responsible...

Xiahou Dun looked at his son suspiciously.

you mean?

Aggravating! Xia Houmao said harshly, The Shu army killed Han Hao, we must make them pay back ten times!

Got it, suddenly, Xiahou Dun understood everything.

He pondered for a moment, and after a brief thought, he opened his mouth and said: Forget it, the recruitment orders of each county will be carried out according to the general's instructions.

Within one month, if the county cannot recruit a thousand soldiers, or the county cannot recruit 500 soldiers, not only will he be dismissed immediately, but he will also be demoted to a white body. I, the Wei Dynasty, will never hire him!

As soon as these words came out, Xia Houmao shook his head repeatedly.

This won't work, dad... we should change it to this. If Wancheng cannot recruit a thousand soldiers, not only will they be demoted to white bodies, but they will also be tortured and interrogated, the Pearl Chain Tribe!

this…

If you follow what Xia Houmao said and dare to love others to become officials to make money, it would be fatal for them to become officials in Cao Wei——
