Chapter 295: I admit that I gambled, but I won the bet!
In winter, dark clouds roll in the sky, gloomy turbid clouds cover the sky, and the dead branches of willow trees dance across the sky.
The sky is getting darker and darker, as if the entire Anlu County in Jiangxia will be completely shrouded in dark clouds...
However, the air was extremely dry, and the cracked air kept pouring into the mouth, making people's throats dry, and there was no trace of rain.
Just like this rolling dark cloud.
Anlu County, which exists like the "eye of the storm" in the "Jingzhou-Huainan" frontline battlefield, is experiencing turbulent times at the moment.
This is also the case at this moment - an undercurrent is surging!
…
…
Guan Lin was sitting in the study painting, as if to relieve his emotional tension.
Even though he looks calm and calm on the surface, with a calm expression as if the mountain is about to collapse, in fact, in his heart, Guan Lin is also "frightened!"
This was the first time that he had actually lined up his troops on the battlefield and deployed his troops and horses... It was impossible to say he wasn't nervous.
But, if you haven’t eaten pork, haven’t you seen pigs running?
Think about how your father Guan Yu looked when he was commanding the army. As a commander...even if he is pretending, he must pretend to be calm and calm, and pretend that everything is under control!
——People have to pretend!
Zhang Xingcai knelt down on the side of the desk as usual, polishing ink.
From time to time, I look at Guan Lin's paintings and look at the little bits of vermilion embellishment...
In fact, she was quite depressed because she couldn't go into battle to kill the enemy.
But then I thought about it, first of all, the purpose of her father keeping her here was not to perform meritorious service on the battlefield, but to protect Guan Lin thoroughly as he repeatedly emphasized!
In the words of his father Zhang Fei, can't you protect your own man?
Secondly, Brother Yun Qi won't let him go into battle? So...can it be understood that Brother Yun Qi cares about her? He is worried that she will be hurt on the battlefield because the sword has no eyes.
Thinking about it this way, I felt much calmer. However, the dark clouds outside the window seemed to reflect the battlefield that was getting ready to go... This inexplicably made Zhang Xingcai's heart throb because of the tension of the situation.
So much so that he bit his lip heavily subconsciously.
On the drawing at the moment, Guan Lin is drawing a slender woman, wearing an extremely tight red robe with windy skirts, a slender body, and a veil on her face, but it cannot hide her extremely beautiful outline.
Three thousand silky green hairs are hanging down, and the lush jade fingers in a pair of jade hands are all outlined with full agility in Guan Lin's pen. It seems that she is not holding any weapons.
But if you look closely, you will see that the blade between her fingers is her ultimate move, killing people invisible!
And her cold eyes and cold temperament are just like the goddess of the Moon Palace.
While painting, Guan Lin also chanted softly: "Don't say that if a man is strong, don't say that his daughter is delicate. The Guo country does not allow men to be ambitious, and heroes who are fearless can only wait for a while -"
Guan Lin sings like this...
But Zhang Xingcai no longer even had any thoughts of jealousy, she was focused on this complicated and confusing battlefield.
She wanted to remind Guan Lin, but when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them all again. She didn't know how to remind Guan Lin, so she couldn't help but whispered: "You are not worried at all about this battlefield... You don't even have to worry about it.
rare."
"Haha..." Guan Lin smiled lightly, leaving a clear smile under disguise, "Everything that should be deployed has been deployed. I don't know martial arts, and I don't have much courage. My ability to respond on the spot is far inferior to those of the generals.
I'm worried. Is there any point in asking?"
Speaking of this, Guan Lin laughed again, "Is it possible that I want to imitate Sun Zhongmou? He doesn't know how to pretend to understand, and he is not good at commanding troops, but he wants to command troops. As a result, he can run faster than anyone else on the battlefield and give random orders.
And then the big advantageous situation was suddenly overtaken by 800 people? And then he became the laughing stock of the whole world? It made people laugh! Haha... I still have some self-awareness. I will do what I am good at, and leave what I am not good at to those who are good at it.
,alright!"
this…
Zhang Xingcai was slightly stunned. Her brain circuit was quite strange. What she cared about was not Guan Lin's "decentralization", but the "big advantageous situation" mentioned by Guan Lin!
So…
——"Is it Dayou's game now? Why do you always feel so confused?"
Thinking of this, Zhang Xingcai bit her lip again. Guan Lin's words did not make her relax at all, but made her even more worried.
at this time.
Outside the study, the rapid sound of horse hooves and the neighing of horses being reined in came one after another... Guan Lin raised his eyes and looked out the window. A scout was quickly coming to report.
——"Report, according to the instructions of Governor Guan, dozens of detective horses were sent to the Hengshan camp to investigate. It turned out to be an empty camp, with only thousands of stoves and a few hundred defenders!"
——"Report, reliable information, there are more than 20,000 Nanyang soldiers gathered in Jiming Valley."
——"Report, General Lu Xun and the Lu Family Army have entered Jiming Valley..."
——"Report, troops are being ordered at the Jinbishan camp, and the posture is not panicky. I don't know whether it is to support the Jiming Valley, or for other purposes."
Zhang Xingcai's heart skipped a beat every time these scouts sent in a report. She panicked...
Guan Lin, on the other hand, no matter how his heart fluctuates, his expression remains as calm as ever, neither happy nor sad...especially his eyes, which are as calm as lake water.
at this time.
——"Report..." A scout rushed into the study room with a solemn look. When he saw Guan Lin, he quickly knelt down on one knee to report: "Prefect Guan, it's not good... there is a 30,000-strong Cao Wei army."
The soldiers and horses, as if falling from the sky, suddenly marched out from behind Jiming Mountain and were rushing towards the entrance of Jiming Mountain. It seems that their posture was to block the entrance of Jiming Mountain and trap our reinforcements!"
"ah…"
At this time, Zhang Xingcai couldn't help but exclaimed.
If we talk about the urgent report just now, it includes that the Hengshan Camp is an empty camp;
Including 20,000 Nanyang soldiers sneaked into Jiming Mountain quietly;
Including Lu Xun leading the Lu family army to fight in;
Although these are quite unexpected, but... at most, the enemy army was prepared, and the reinforcements were ambushed in Jiming Mountain...
But no matter how you put it, in terms of military strength, it was still 20,000 versus 20,000, and it was an evenly matched battle.
If Lu Xun had outstanding commanding ability on the battlefield, even though the enemy army occupies a favorable location, it would not be impossible for them to fight!
But this sudden, inexplicable, and even 'sudden arrival' of 30,000 soldiers, all of a sudden, all plans... were... disrupted.
The battlefield at Jiming Mountain turned into fifty thousand against twenty-five thousand...
Then use it as an ambush and attack from both front and back...
Brother Yun Qi has this hard-earned reinforcement in his hands. He... they seem to be doomed! They are going to be annihilated!
"Brother Yunqi...they..."
Zhang Xingcai looked at Guan Lin worriedly. Her teeth were biting her lip hard. Because she was too nervous, her lip was slightly bitten...but she didn't know it.
On the contrary, Guan Lin's expression was completely opposite to Zhang Xingcai's. He was still calm and calm, as if Cao Jun's "magic soldiers descended from heaven" could not affect him in the slightest.
"I understand, you continue to explore-"
"promise--"
Following Guan Lin's instructions, Yi Qian Tan Ma quickly exited the study, got on his horse... and galloped away.
Zhang Xingcai, on the other hand, opened her eyes wide. She couldn't help but ask: "You just... just know? Are you not worried at all? Are the Lu Family Army being surrounded? They are the reinforcements that you have worked hard to introduce to Jingzhou...
"
Zhang Xingcai wished he could lead his troops to rescue...
But now there are only two thousand people in Anlu City? She can lead troops, but... how to save them?
"Sister Xingcai, don't panic..." Guan Lin noticed the crack on Zhang Xingcai's lip. He took out a clean silk handkerchief and put his hand against Zhang Xingcai's lips, "So careless?"
Guan Lin's tone was concerned, but what he was concerned about was Zhang Xingcai's lips, which were still not a battlefield!
The more Guan Lin acted like this, the more anxious Zhang Xingcai became. Even after a quick brain circuit, Zhang Xingcai suddenly realized something. She grabbed Guan Lin's wrist and said loudly: "Anlu City is no longer safe.
You have to get out of here now, I’ll take you away—”
Zhang Xingcai was already pulling Guan Lin hard.
Looking at her concerned but confused expression, Guan Lin knew that this "sister" whose relationship with him was better than his "biological sister" was worried about his safety.
Seeing Zhang Xingcai snatching him up, he was about to be taken away by force...
Guan Lin quickly said: "Sister Xingcai, please calm down. How about you listen to me tell a story?"
--"story?"
Zhang Xingcai looked at Guan Lin as if he were looking at a strange creature.
She paused and said seriously: "I don't want to listen to your story now. If you want to tell it, you can tell it as much as you want on the way out of here... How much do you tell? I listen to as much as you want!"
Speaking of this, Zhang Xingcai put her hands on Guan Lin's shoulders and shook Guan Lin violently.
——"Brother Yunqi, wake up, this is a battlefield! This battle is going to be lost!"
After all, she is a girl and her ability to withstand pressure is weaker. Zhang Xingcai almost cried.
Guan Lin was helpless, "What about that? How about I cry?"
"Are you still joking?" Zhang Xingcai was really angry, and her expression suddenly became more serious, "If you don't leave, I will use force..."
"Ahem..." Guan Lin coughed lightly, and his expression suddenly became serious, "Okay, I won't joke around with you anymore..."
As he spoke, his finger pointed to the location of "Chimming Mountain" on the map spread out on the huge table...
"Sister Xingcai, listen to me. There are indeed three groups of soldiers here today. Cao Wei's 20,000 Nanyang soldiers led by Hou Yin, the governor of Nanyang, led by Le Jin, one of the five good generals, and 30,000 soldiers sent by Cao Cao to support
Soldiers and horses, as well as our reinforcements, 25,000 Lu Jiajun..."
While talking, Guan Lin had already placed the inkstone, pen holder, and tea cup here respectively.
The inkstone is between the pen holder and the tea cup. Obviously, the inkstone is the Lu family army, the pen holder is the Nanyang soldiers, and the tea cup is this mysterious 30,000 Cao army troops commanded by Le Jin!
Listening to Guan Lin's words and looking at Guan Lin's arrangement, Zhang Xingcai seemed to suddenly think of something. She quickly asked: "How do you know that Cao Wei's 30,000 reinforcements that 'dropped from the sky' are led by Le Jin, one of the five good generals?"
?”
"Listen to what I have to say first..."
Guan Lin did not answer Zhang Xingcai directly, but instead pushed aside all the "Nanyang Soldiers" and "Lu Jiajun" in the valley on the map, and pushed aside the "Le Jinjun" outside the valley alone.
Finally, he pointed at the pen holder representing Nanyang Bing and said with a smile: "Sister Xingcai, now I solemnly tell you that the current situation is all within my plan! You don't have to worry, let alone be afraid... we
The real enemy is kept in the dark!"
——"The real enemy?"
——"Kept in the dark?"
Zhang Xingcai pondered subconsciously...
Guan Lin's words continued.
"Actually, from the time Yu Jin's army marched south to Jiangxia, from the beginning of this battle in Jiangxia, the Nanyang Governor Hou Yin and the 20,000 Nanyang soldiers he led were already my people!"
Ah...ah——
Guan Lin's words were like a bolt from the blue, leaving Zhang Xingcai speechless and dumbfounded.
This is…
For a moment, Zhang Xingcai's head was like a ball of mush. She couldn't think clearly. What did Yun Qi mention mean?
But she was quick enough to realize a bigger fact.
If...if what Brother Yun Qi said is true, then...then the battlefield situation in Jiming Mountain has been completely reversed. It was not the Lu family's army that was ambushed in Jiming Mountain.
But...but...the Lu Jiajun and the Nanyang soldiers together used a "grand" ambush to welcome Le Jin's troops "falling from the sky"!
Yes, these soldiers and horses fell from the sky, but they fell from the sky to be beaten!
When Zhang Xingcai thought of this, her pupils were already huge, and she looked at Guan Lin in disbelief.
etc…
She ran the matter through her mind again, and suddenly she understood it all.
——"I understand, that's why Brother Yun Qi knows...the thirty thousand troops who attacked were led by Le Jin, one of the five good generals..."
——"It turned out to be Nanyang soldiers...it was the information reported to Brother Yunqi by Hou Yin, the governor of Nanyang..."
——"That is to say, in the entire Jiangxia battlefield...every move of the Imperial Army, from the very beginning, all...none of it escaped Brother Yunqi's eyes! He is...he is taking advantage of the enemy's tactics!"
Breathtaking, astonishing...
For a moment, Zhang Xingcai stood there blankly, and even the hand holding Guan Lin became limp and much weaker.
Looking back at Guan Lin, he still looked indifferent and relaxed. He smiled and said, "Sister Xingcai, now that you have some time, will you listen to me tell a story?"
Zhang Xingcai nodded instinctively and dullly...
She didn't say a word, but her throat was choked with sobs and she couldn't speak at all, let alone what to say.
Guan Lin's words continued, and his peripheral vision glanced at the painting he had just painted. The heroic female knight in the painting was lifelike, and her expressions were conveying...
He said calmly: "The name of this story is - who said women are inferior to men! Women can also beat men!"
As he spoke, Guan Lin's memory quickly returned to the scene in the official medical office in Jiangling City before he left for Jiangxia.
That was the scene of him and Lingju alone in a room;
That was the scene where he told Lingju an urgent plan and entrusted Lingju with a mission that carried tens of thousands of lives;
That was the scene where he entrusted the success or failure of Jiangxia City, and even the "Jingzhou-Huainan" frontline battlefield to this "parrot" mistress with great trust.
The past is like smoke, but...only this one is still vivid in my mind!
And all of this...
It all started from that afternoon, when Guan Lin's index finger deliberately touched Ling Ju's lips.
At that time, Lingju felt... as if she had been stung by a bee, a little painful, a little itchy, but more of an unforgettable feeling.
Perhaps, this is the taste of love when it sprouts!
…
a month ago.
Jiangling City, Jingzhou Second Official Medical Office.
Lingju was originally surprised by the task Guan Lin gave him.
That's the task of letting the "parrot" people build Luoyang.
This task is not easy. It is not even an exaggeration to say that it is like pulling teeth from the tiger's mouth...
But after Guan Lin's words and rhetoric, Lingju still accepted the task.
And as the task was clearly explained, Guan Lin made another sentence:
——"One more thing!"
Lingju thought it was the name "Zhu Ling" written on the white paper that Guan Lin just dropped on the ground. She asked, "Are you going to investigate this person?"
The answer is no. Guan Lin wrote Zhu Ling's name and marked Zhu Ling specifically to remind him that he should pay special attention to this person. However, what Guan Lin wanted Lingju to do, or the person he wanted to see, was not
not him.
After Lingju heard this name, he was shocked. He subconsciously opened his mouth and exclaimed:
——"Are you from Wancheng, Nanyang?"
It was at this moment that Guan Lin pressed his index finger against Lingju's lips, causing her heart to race, and some kind of sprout, even some kind of impulse, some kind of emotion that transcended the relationship between master and servant came into being.
Guan Lin also emphasized, "My sister-in-law, you can't talk nonsense... If it leaks out, Jiangxia will be completely ruined! Don't even think about Nanyang!"
The reason why Guan Lin was so solemn was because the person Guan Lin asked Lingju to find was none other than Nanyang Prefect—Hou Yin!
That was the conversation between Guan Lin and Ling Ju.
Guan Lin spent an hour teaching Lingju how to meet Hou Yin, the prefect of Nanyang, after sneaking into Nanyang.
Finally, a bamboo slip was carefully handed into her hand.
Then he said earnestly, "Just give this to Hou Yin and make sure he can see it... You have completed the task."
"At this time, if there is a great victory in the battlefield of 'Jingzhou-Huainan'... then it will be you, Lingju, who will make the first contribution!"
Lingju knew what it meant to make meritorious deeds and make first achievements.
It means that the mother can live a more leisurely life;
It means that "Parrot" can be reused more;
It also means that she, Lingju, can penetrate more deeply into the heart of the Fourth Young Master Guan...
——"Oh...this damn curiosity, this damn throbbing bud, oh...it's just..."
Lingju couldn't help but pursed her lips. She was always resolute and decisive, and she was very particular about black and white. There was no middle ground in her heart. This time... she couldn't control her heart palpitations!
actually…
Guan Lin's task is quite difficult in Lingju's opinion.
After all, she had to go deep into Nanyang Wancheng and expose herself to the prefect Hou Yin.
If she is not careful, she will be caught and the parrot will be exposed...
She resisted at first, but... Guan Lin's extremely confident look still convinced him, making her feel that... perhaps, this Fourth Young Master Guan was confident, and this matter... would be a matter of course.
——No matter how bad it is, just think of it as repaying a favor!
For this purpose, Lingju agreed to the matter.
certainly…
The reason why Guan Lin asked Lingju to take the risk to meet Hou Yin, the governor of Nanyang.
There are two reasons. One is because the battlefield is between Nanyang and Jiangxia, and Cao Cao is bound to mobilize Nanyang troops and horses;
Secondly, it was Hou Yin, the governor of Nanyang, whom Guan Lin knew very well.
Although there are very few records about him in history, there is only one.
——In the 23rd year of Jian'an, that is, in October three years later, because Nanyang County was suffering from corvee labor, Hou Yin and Wei Kai jointly launched an uprising against Cao Cao, gathering more than ten thousand people, occupying Wancheng, and responded to Guan Yu in the south!
The uprising between Hou Yin and Wei Kai... was an important part of the many "reinforcements" that Guan Yu obtained within Cao Wei's territory after flooding the Seventh Army.
Because this support army occupies the land of Wancheng, it directly threatens Xudu. Its influence is far greater than the threat of the "thieves" from the "Liang", "Jia", and "Luhun" groups!
And according to historical records…
Hou Yin, Wei Kai's rebel army was attacked by Cao Ren in the first month of the following year, and the city was broken and killed!
This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that although the uprising ended in failure, Cao Ren would just break the city if he broke the city. But after breaking the city, he actually adopted the most ferocious method against Wancheng - massacre!
Cruel and bloody suppression!
According to legend, more people were killed in this massacre than the massacres of Pengcheng in Xuzhou and Yecheng in Jizhou... The exact number is immeasurable!
It can be seen that...Cao Cao and the Cao Wei clan have disliked this place ever since they captured Nanyang...especially Wancheng.
I don’t know if it was because of Cao Cao’s “killing the three sages with one shot” in Wancheng, but it cannot be denied that the people of Nanyang have suffered too much oppression in recent years...
Where there is oppression, there must be resistance!
All they lack is a spark!
Therefore, in Guan Lin's analysis, Hou Yin's rebellion was definitely not a sudden whim, but because he sympathized with the suffering of the people in Nanyang. He must have thought of rebelling for a long time... and had long planned for this day.
Just no chance!
It wasn't until Guan Yu flooded his seven armies and the righteous men from the Central Plains responded one after another that he raised the banner.
Therefore, Guan Lin is sure... Hou Yin, and even the Nanyang soldiers... this is a force that can be used by him, and can be used as a surprise force on the battlefield. At the most critical moment, like a dagger, it can directly penetrate into the enemy's heart.
the power of!
At this moment, Guan Lin told Zhang Xingcai the story of "Lingju entered Wanhui Houyin" in detail and eloquently.
At the end of the sentence, he couldn't help but sigh deeply.
——"I admit that I was gambling on this matter, but luckily, I won the bet!"
