What Guan Yu read at night was from a chapter in "Sun Tzu's Art of War: Bing Liu" - "Profess to attack the east, but actually attack the west."
This echoes the saying in "Huainanzi·Bing Jie Xun" that "when generals desire the west, show them east".
Last night, Guan Yu read an article from "The Art of War: Nine Places" by Sun Tzu - "The beginning is like a virgin, the enemy opens an account; the end is like a rabbit in flight, the enemy cannot resist."
Guan Yu also told Guan Yinping this article quite eloquently, so that she could endure loneliness, be as quiet as a virgin, and move as fast as a rabbit.
Tonight, Guan Yu read "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Show it with movement, make it quiet and have the initiative, and move it to make it powerful!"
To put it simply, it is to secretly assassinate Chen Cang, to make false claims in the east and attack in the west...
Confuse the enemy by showing illusions, sneak in behind the scenes, and attack suddenly!
Speaking of which, Guan Yu didn't read "Spring and Autumn" for three days because of that brat Guan Lin. However, during these three days of reading "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu, he did gain many new insights.
but…
That only exists in theoretical understanding.
But God seems to hope that Guan Yu can quickly complete the "integration of theory and practice".
This urgent letter from Liao Hua and those few words from Guan Lin.
This directly elevates this theory to the level of practice.
——"The thieves will hire Wen, and they will definitely send out surprise troops, attack Fuhu Mountain at night, and burn the warships. If the warships are destroyed, wait until the water rises? What can the Guan family's army do? Isn't my father the laughing stock of Xiangfan!"
These words fit Guan Lin's tone very well...
As always, "No one is beaten, no kid", as always, "Domineering and arrogant"!
But...
Combined with these words and reading "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu for three consecutive days, Guan Yu suddenly understood.
——Show it to move, help it to be still and have the initiative, which will help it to move and become a sundae!
Yesterday's battle in Jingjiang, what if Wenpin faked his defeat?
His purpose was just to show the enemy that he was weak, to confuse Guan Yu with an illusion, and to focus Guan Yu's attention on the Miangkou camp, so that he could sneak in behind his back and launch a sudden attack!
——Still as a virgin, as active as a rabbit.
This is Xiangfan, either he won't move, or... he will bite into Guan Yu's weak spot.
——It claims to attack the east, but actually attacks the west.
This one is even more ironic.
Haha... Guan Yu just haha.
How about luring a snake out of its hole? Damn it, all the civil servants will use their tricks... It seems that he is attacking the family's military stronghold and seizing the serial crossbows and other ordnance, but in fact, he is doing it for those warships.
call…
Thinking of this, Guan Yu took a long breath and felt extremely nervous.
Outside the account, Chinese officers were counting troops.
Because it was a rapid march, it could only be cavalry.
However, there are only a few thousand cavalry in the Guan family army that can be assembled quickly.
At this moment, Guan Yu's state of mind was already in turmoil.
This Wenpin, and Yun Qi, the two of them...are they probably going to give Guan Yu another vivid military practice lesson in "Sun Tzu's Art of War"?
It's a good thing to make a sound in the east and attack in the west;
A good one is trying to cover up;
What a man who builds the plank road openly and spends time in the old warehouse secretly.
If it hadn't been for this letter from Yun Qi, the boat would have almost capsized in the gutter.
"Father..." Guan Yinping also roughly knew what happened. It was his fourth brother who suggested that Wenpin would attack the warship at night, so... he asked his father to rescue him.
But...not to mention whether Yun Qi's judgment is accurate.
Taking a step back, if... Yun Qi is right, then if Xiangfan sends troops to kill Fuhu Mountain, does that mean that Xiangfan City is empty?
Therefore, Guan Yinping boldly suggested, "Father, my daughter thinks...if we can be sure that the thief General Wenpin will lead the Xiangfan people to Fuhu Mountain to burn the boats, why doesn't the father just take Xiangfan? Isn't this an opportunity?"
Guan Yinping's words made Guan Yu suddenly turn his head, his eyes opened and closed, and he looked straight at Guan Yinping.
His sharp eyes kept shining, as if he was Guan Gong at this moment, he had seen through everything.
It should be noted that Guan Yu's military ability was outstanding and unrivaled;
His learning ability is also extraordinary.
In terms of character, his only weakness is pride!
In military terms, his only shortcoming is that he easily gets into trouble.
Now, Guan Lin's words successfully pulled him out of the corner. For Guan Yu, his whole horizon suddenly broadened, and he seemed to understand everything.
"Yin Ping, I'm afraid I have forgotten Cao Cao's surprise attack on Wuchao during the Battle of Guandu!"
"At that time, Yuan Shao listened to his adviser Guo Tu's suggestion and gave up rescuing Wuchao. Instead, he sent his main army to attack Guandu. However, he was ambushed in Guandu. Wuchao's food and grass were destroyed, and hundreds of thousands of troops were forced to surrender. In the end,
It led to the great defeat in the Battle of Guandu! It led to the collapse of the Yuan family’s great foundation within a few years!”
"Isn't the Wenpin of today the Cao Cao of those days?"
this…
Guan Yinping's heart skipped a beat when she heard her father's words, although her father did not answer her directly.
But...she understood immediately.
If during the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao had given priority to rescuing Wuchao instead of attacking Guandu in a hurry for quick success, then maybe... that battle, then maybe the situation in the north would have been completely changed.
actually…
Guan Yinping still overlooked one thing.
That was during the Battle of Guandu, Wuchao was attacked...the news came too suddenly.
In such a short period of time, to make the most accurate judgment and respond calmly, the forward-looking requirements for the coach's leadership ability and judgment of the situation are too high, and the error tolerance rate is too low.
And now Guan Yu, because of a letter from Guan Lin.
He predicted Wenpin's actions in advance.
This was completely different from the bad news we received after the warship was burned.
He has enough time to think and judge.
Undoubtedly... because of Guan Lin's existence, the fault tolerance rates of Guan Yu today and Yuan Shao back then are not at the same level at all!
Of course, their command and judgment of the situation are not on the same level.
At this moment, Guan Yu's eyes became more determined.
The Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand glowed with an "awe-inspiring" murderous aura, illuminated by countless torches.
"——Definitely!"
As the red rabbit horse neighed, some personal guards had already brought the red rabbit horse over.
Guan Yu got on his horse...
Guan Yinping quickly asked: "Can father take his daughter with him?"
She deeply felt that the current situation was imminent, and Guan Yinping wished she could help her father more.
"Yin screen, my father has to give you a more important task."
Guan Yu's tone was meticulous.
Guan Yinping bit her lip slightly.
Guan Yu's words came one after another: "You immediately rush to the other two camps and tell the ambushing Tanzhi, Anguo, and Weizhi that no matter what news you hear tonight, even if your father-in-law is trapped in a tight siege and narrowly escapes death,
You must not move without permission, let alone rush to help!"
When these words came out, Guan Yinping was shocked at first, but soon...she seemed to have figured it out in an instant, and understood it all at once.
At this moment, Guan Yu had already waved his riding whip.
The sound of "ta-ta-ta" horse hoofs sounded, and along with the sonorous hoofs, the red rabbit horse took the lead, and all the Guan family troops followed their general.
For a time, more than a thousand cavalrymen were like ghosts under the night... galloping towards the south!
——Kill to Fuhu Mountain!
——Kill to where the warship is.
At this moment…
What came to Guan Yu's mind inexplicably was his son Yun Qi's words.
"——The bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish will be!"
Guan Yu seemed to understand this sentence in an instant.
These words...
This is true for Wenpin’s surprise attack tonight;
The same is true for him, Guan Yu.
Opportunities to win are often found in dangerous situations and desperate situations!
…
…
"——A few copies."
Guan Lin was sitting in Guanyi in Changsha County and asked Mi Yang in front of him.
He seemed to be in a bad mood and a little irritable. He was asking about the endorsement status of Zhang Zhongjing's disciples, but found that his hands were shaking.
Guan Lin looked at his hands in shock, but found that he still couldn't stop worrying about his father.
Can the more than two hundred warships in Fuhu Mountain be saved?
Has the letter been delivered?
Has Wenpin moved?
Did dad move?
Is it still too late for everything?
As the saying goes, one move can affect the whole body. These two hundred ships are too important to Jingzhou, to the Guan family army, to father Guan Yu, and even to him Guan Lin!
"Four books." Mi Yang answered truthfully, "At first, Du Du was quite repulsive, but... for some reason, after last night, he seemed to be addicted to it, and he didn't even bother to eat lunch today... He seemed completely forgetful.
And Wei Xun even asked Sanye Zhang for a pen, and from time to time he made some notes, as if he was serious... It seems that the knot in their hearts has been solved, and the fourth master's question has found the optimal solution.
untie."
question…
Guan Lin admires young people like Mi Yang who are obsessed with mathematics. Everything can be related to mathematics.
However, Guan Lin's worries are not here...
He said casually: "Let them continue to carry it. In addition, tell my third uncle to find a way to let them rest for a while to avoid getting sick. It won't be beautiful!"
Speaking of this, Guan Lin's eyes turned to the window aside.
It was as if his eyes passed through the darkness outside the window, crossed the Xiangjiang River, crossed the Yanghe River, crossed to the Fuhu Mountain, and crossed to the place where the two hundred warships were stranded.
call…
Taking a long breath, Guan Lin's eyes were full of worry as always.
But at this time.
Mi Lu stumbled in from outside, "Oh no, Fourth Young Master, a young man knocked on the door!"
When Guan Lin heard this, he immediately became angry.
He dared to knock on the door of the inn where Guan Lin lived?
Not only does this mean that Guan Lin is not taken seriously, but his father Guan Yu is also not taken seriously!
etc…
Guan Lin suddenly came back to his senses and asked quickly: "Aren't there five or six Buqu outside the door? How could he be beaten so badly by a young man?"
Before he finished speaking, Mi Lu looked ashamed, "It's not just five or six... I called out five or six more, but eleven and two of us couldn't stop him! Fourth Young Master... we should hide first."
Bar?"
While he was talking, someone had already barged in. When he saw Guan Lin, he put away his fists.
"Zhuge Ke took the liberty of visiting the Fourth Young Master, please forgive me!"
The person who came was actually Zhuge Ke.
this…
We were taking a shower together during the day, and then called in at night?
Guan Lin muttered in his heart - "This guy is not very particular! Wait... is Zhuge Ke so good at fighting?"
Despite his young age, Zhuge Ke is a master who will never give up until he achieves his goal. During the day, he used Mencius' "benevolent people love others" in the bathroom and failed to persuade Guan Lin. How could he give up?
He was going to visit again in the afternoon, but where could Guan Lin be willing to see him?
When night came, Zhuge Ke didn't dare to delay anymore, so he started to take action. Zhuge Ke had learned to ride and shoot since he was a child, and he was highly skilled in martial arts. He had been taught by Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin and others. There were more than a dozen ordinary steps...
There really isn't much that can be done to win over him.
Guan Lin looked at Zhuge Ke and couldn't help but frown.
A large number of troops from outside have come to support, and they are all aggressive.
The master's hotel was broken into, and the Buqus were in disgrace.
It felt like every face was being pressed to the ground and rubbed by this kid. I even felt that I didn't deserve to eat half a pound of meat every day. Master, this meat... was simply fed to the dogs.
At the end of the day, everyone bared their teeth, rolled up their sleeves, bared their teeth and claws... They just waited for Guan Lin's order to capture the invading enemy.
When Guan Lin saw that it was Zhuge Ke, he was no longer nervous. He pressed his hands and said, "Okay, you all stand down. I am a reasonable person. I don't bother to bully the minority by bullying. I think this Zhuge Ke is also reasonable."
Human?"
Where can Yi Gan Bu Qu be willing to leave?
Guan Lin no longer chased them away, but looked at Zhuge Ke coldly, "Master Zhuge, didn't we talk frankly to each other this morning? Now late at night, you broke into my residence? What happened?"
"——If you convince others with your strength, you won't be convinced by your heart, or if you are weak in strength. If you convince others with virtue, you will be convinced from the heart and be sincerely convinced."
Zhuge Ke said the first sentence.
Then taking a deep breath, Zhuge Ke looked at Guan Lin with an indescribable gaze, "After we said goodbye this morning, I thought hard and finally realized that what the Fourth Young Master has done recently is not what the Fourth Young Master has in mind.
'Evil', but the Fourth Young Master doesn't know what is 'evil'? What is 'good'! The so-called 'virtue' has no righteousness, and 'Tao' has no smallness. Those who rely on virtue will prosper, and those who rely on strength will perish... I hope the Fourth Young Master can rein in his horse.
, turn back in time, don’t cause... relatives to suffer and enemies to suffer, don’t let the emperor’s uncle’s foundation be destroyed in Changsha and Jingzhou!”
Zhuge Ke was determined to persuade Guan Lin to rein in the situation.
He knew that his father's letter had been sent to Jiangdong.
Then...in the next two days, the news that Guan Gong's son oppresses the good will spread throughout Jingzhou.
No matter how Guan Gong deals with it in the end, it will definitely damage his reputation.
Isn't this just the pain for relatives and pleasure for enemies?
Guan Lin's face dropped, and he asked Zhuge Ke calmly.
"Are you sick?"
Of course, he knew that Zhuge Ke was good to him.
But...how to explain this kind of thing?
Guan Lin can't say that I have written a few books that can definitely save Zhang Zhongjing.
At that time, if those two boys fail to live up to expectations and fail to save, then Guan Lin will be severely "slapped in the face"...
The current situation is quite good!
"Nothing else, I'm going to rest. You can go back."
Guan Lin directly issued an eviction order.
Zhuge Ke looked at Guan Lin excitedly, "I just want to know why the Fourth Young Master knew the consequences of doing this, knew that it would damage Guan Gong's reputation, and knew that he would lose people's hearts, but...he resolutely insisted on doing it.
So?"
"You want to know?" Guan Lin looked at the guy who came to the door.
Zhuge Ke nodded heavily. Through the conversation with Guan Lin, he could realize that the other party was not a messy or unreasonable rebellious person.
This Fourth Young Master Guan has ideas. He is even smarter than himself. He knows the consequences of doing so!
Because of this, Zhuge Ke really couldn't figure it out.
Guan Lin smiled and waved his hand, "Since you asked the question sincerely, I will tell you with great mercy..."
Just then...
A voice came from outside the door.
——"Who dares to fight me, brother Yun Qi, if he doesn't care about his life?"
It’s Zhang Xingcai…
She rushed in quickly, and when she saw Guan Lin, she walked to his side and took a good look at him.
He asked with great concern: "Are you not injured?"
"He can't hurt me!" Guan Lin spread his hands to express that he was fine...
"Did he hit you?" Zhang Xingcai turned around and looked at Zhuge Ke.
Guan Lin nodded.
Zhuge Ke completely ignored Zhang Xingcai and asked impatiently: "Fourth Young Master, you haven't answered me yet?"
Guan Lin ignored his words and just moved his eyes to Zhang Xingcai's face. "Sister Xingcai, by the way, there is a troublesome thing here that needs to be solved..."
"What?" Zhang Xingcai asked curiously.
Guan Lin pointed at Zhuge Ke, "There is a dry well outside the post house. Sister Xingcai, please throw this boy into the well. He wants to be quiet!"
"you…"
Zhuge Ke, who was originally full of expectations, almost collapsed.
Guan Lin has already stood up...
Zhuge Ke wanted to stop him, but Zhang Xingcai made a move, and all the troops came forward and held him down.
"Fourth Young Master..." Mi Lu asked for instructions again.
"Throw it into the well and let him be quiet." After giving the order, Guan Lin faced Zhuge Ke, "Don't you want to know the answer? Sit in the well and think about it overnight... Maybe, with your intelligence, tomorrow morning
I could have figured it out before!"
"Guan Lin... Guan Lin..." Zhuge Ke screamed and was already sent out by a group of people.
Guan Lin rubbed his hands and murmured in his heart.
"This is the so-called - sit in a well and look at the sky!"
"As the saying goes - a leaf can obscure the view of Mount Tai!"
…
…
Jiangxia, Fuhu Mountain.
After half a day of rushing through a long and narrow road, Mi Fang finally arrived in front of the stone monument of "Fuhu Mountain" with a group of people.
——Huh, huh...
The group of people was out of breath.
Mi Fang still murmured, "Ji Chang was too careful. If he hadn't gone to steal Cao Yu's subordinates, if he hadn't brought Yun Qi's troops, if he hadn't brought the repeating crossbows and side carriages, why would the brothers... be so tired?"
Indeed, Mianshui Villa on the outskirts of the city had just sent 700 repeating crossbows and 100 sidecars to Guan Lin's thief Cao Yu.
The Buqu left behind by Guan Lin are still trying to practice setting up "car formations" and "crossbow formations"...
In fact, there is no technical content.
As long as you know the general principles, even children can set up formations.
I never thought that Mi Fang would rush over...
Ask them to go to Fuhu Mountain in Jiangxia to support!
Originally...these sent out songs were like water poured out, there was no need to listen to Mi Fang's orders, but when they heard that they were requested by Guan Lin in the letter, each song suddenly became energetic and fierce.
.
Following the Fourth Young Master, I have eaten several meals of meat, and my whole body is full of strength, but I can't do anything... Then Isn't it time to eat hard food?
Just waiting for the Fourth Young Master to give the order!
So, the nine hundred steps responded one after another, and just like that, Mi Fang arrived at Fuhu Mountain with a total of seven thousand steps, seven hundred repeating crossbows, and one hundred sidecars.
Having said that, the night is extremely dark today.
The entire Fuhu Mountain was eerily quiet.
Is there any sign of an enemy coming to attack?
"Ahem..." With nothing to do, Mi Fang stood in front of the stone tablet of Fuhu Mountain and asked, "Do you know the origin of the name of Fuhu Mountain?"
"Is there still a connection?" You Buqu quickly asked.
Mi Fang waved her hand, her chubby belly straightened out, as if she was full of knowledge, and she raised her hand. "More than just a connection?"
Mi Fang explained it to the tribe members in detail.
"Back then, when Yun Chang first arrived in Jiangxia, he took a fancy to this place and stationed his troops here. He never thought that... he would encounter a white tiger spirit blocking his way!"
"So Yun Chang bravely fought the tiger demon, subdued the tiger to eliminate the harm, and used his sword to penetrate the ground, causing a spring to spurt out from the ground. Zhuge Military Advisor heard about this, so he specially set up two stone monuments. The place where these warships ran aground is called '
"Fuhu Mountain" means that the clouds are long and the tigers are slaying monsters. Three hundred steps up, there is the "Zhuodao Spring", which means that the clouds are long and the swords are opening springs to benefit the village!"
Being idle is also idle...
Mi Fang leaned against the stone monument of Fuhu Mountain, chirping, and continued to narrate, "By the way, there is also the Mafang Mountain next to Fuhu Mountain, because Yun Chang valued the horses there.
...So the stables were built, hence the name 'Stable Mountain'!"
Listening to Mi Fang's words...
Yi Ganbu Qu served up a rainbow fart at the right time.
"The master is indeed knowledgeable!"
Some people were puzzled, "Master, do you know why Military Advisor Ma Liang asked us to come here to guard these warships? Now in the dry season, these warships are useless. Is it possible that...Cao Jun will still attack this warship with great difficulty?"
Isn’t this the exact opposite?”
This question… stopped Mi Fang.
He opened his mouth, but swallowed the words back.
He murmured in his mind.
——"Yes...this Fuhu Mountain is calm and peaceful, who will attack it?"
——"Speaking of which, Yun Qi is quite smart. How could he send such a letter? Isn't this a lie about military information?"
Mi Fang was too idle and couldn't help but start thinking about it.
And people... are often afraid of thinking blindly.
The more she thought about it, the more Mi Fang felt something was wrong.
——"Could it be this guy Yun Qi who did it on purpose?"
——"Did this guy guess Ma Liang's thoughts and deliberately provoke him to make him beg me to bring troops to guard Fuhu Mountain, and then... when it comes to building a new city, wouldn't he naturally stand by us?
Is it over here?』
Thinking of this...
Mi Fang was so excited that she couldn't help herself.
It's like peeking into the heavens.
——"I see...this kid actually played such a big game of chess!"
——"Thank you...it's me, Mi Fang. If I had another head that could turn around, wouldn't I have failed this kid's thoughts? Hey...he is as witty as me, as witty as me!"
