The forty-fifth chapter of the tiger-headed golden gun, this is a fierce soldier, the master kills!
In Jingzhou, outside the official office of Jiangling City, because of Guan Yu's return, the place was heavily guarded with swords, spears, swords and halberds, and the atmosphere was solemn.
At this moment, Guan Yu was taking off his armor in the house, looking solemn.
In the past year, the situation in the world has changed suddenly.
Many major events happened around Jingzhou and Bashu.
The eldest brother Liu Bei occupied Xichuan;
Taking advantage of Liu Bei's unstable footing, Cao Cao personally took command and launched an attack on Hanzhong.
In order to relieve the pressure on the battlefield on the western front, Guan Yu went north to attack Xiangyang at the right time to contain Cao's army.
After all, they still failed to break through Cao Ren's defense for half a year.
"well!"
Guan Yu let out a long sigh, and there was a hint of helplessness in Guan Yu's everlasting expression.
Among the nine counties in Jingzhou, Cao Cao occupies the three most fertile and populous counties in the north, and the remaining six counties... Jiangdong is also eyeing it.
While going north from this place of the Fourth Battle, Guan Yu must also leave enough troops to guard against Jiangdong.
It just so happens that most of Jingzhou's talents, elite soldiers and horses were taken to Bashu by Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.
Today's Guan Yu is such a clever woman that it's hard to make a meal without rice!
Thirty thousand people guard six counties, and they have to go out to contain Cao's army...
Disaster…
It’s as difficult as climbing to heaven!
That is to say, Guan Yu, in the past six months, under extremely unfavorable circumstances, turned Cao Ren, the "Celestial General" who was "good at attacking" in Cao's army, into a "defensive" master.
Huddled in the city, not daring to step out of the city gate!
It is no exaggeration to say that Guan Yu has given everything he has and has done everything he can to the extreme!
"Alas..." There was another faint sigh. Only when he was taking off his armor, Guan Yu would let his mind relax and relax for a moment.
This year, Guan Yu is also in his fifties, with some white hair on his head. Although he is old, he is eight feet long, tall and straight, as majestic as a lion and tiger, and as heroic as a dragon and leopard!
Beside Guan Yu, the eldest son Guan Ping hung up his heavy armor, and Guan Yu put on the distinctive green robe and green hat... He habitually held up "Chun Qiu Zuo Zhuan" with his right hand and stroked his beard with his left hand.
Don't know when it started.
In Jingzhou, Guan Yu's iconic posture has begun to be imitated by many literati and warriors, as if holding "Spring and Autumn" in hand symbolizes full "powerful style"!
It can be seen that Guan Yu is in a bad mood.
Guan Ping tried to comfort his father, "The boy has already followed his father's instructions and sent the reply letter from Military Advisor Zhuge to the six counties of Jingzhou and to the three armies!"
Guan Ping tried to recite: "'... When competing with Yide, he is still not as good as the beautiful bearded master.'" It seems that in the minds of Zhuge's military advisor and his uncle, the position of the father's commander is far lower than that of Ma Meng.
Even Uncle Yide cannot compare to those who can be shaken. Between the lines, Military Master Zhuge also admires his commander-in-chief very much!"
Just as Guan Ping said.
The reason why Guan Yu wanted to convey Zhuge Liang's reply to the three armies was Ma Chao. His position above Zhang Fei made him feel even more elated!
Apart from this, there are really not many people in this world that Guan Yu can admire.
The eldest brother Liu Bei counts as one.
Military strategist Zhuge Liang counts as one.
The compliments from both of them carry great weight in Guan Yu's mind!
"Ha ha ha ha…"
Sure enough, Guan Ping's words made Guan Yu's mood clear. "In this world, there are many foolish people and ordinary people with bad bones. The only ones your father can admire are Zhuge Military Advisor and eldest brother. Since they expressed their opinions like this,
As a father, I would rather not go to Yizhou to compete with Na Ma Mengqi."
When he said this, Guan Yu raised his brows, his red phoenix eyes suddenly opened and closed, and he said with an arrogant tone.
"His horse is not worthy of Mengqi!"
"Yes, Ma Chao is just a demoted general, how can he be compared with his father? Isn't this a joke!" Guan Ping replied with a smile.
As he spoke, his compliments to his handsome father were overwhelming.
Just then.
The sound of "tap, tap, tap" footsteps came from outside the door.
Guan Yu and Guan Ping looked at the gate warily... only to see Zhou Cang running towards them, panting.
Speaking of which, Zhou Cang was the most trusted warrior around Guan Yu, and he always carried the Qinglong Yanyue Sword for Guan Yu.
However, during this expedition, Guan Yu specifically left Zhou Cang in Jiangling in order to teach his three sons and one daughter martial arts.
——Not ordinary martial arts, but martial arts that can kill enemies in battle.
After a large number of civil and military officials entered Shu, Jingzhou was so short of talents that Guan Yu had to place high hopes on these children.
Except for "old buddy" Zhou Cang, there is no one else who is strong in martial arts and loyal around him.
"What?"
Because he was so familiar with it, Guan Yu spoke directly in Shanxi dialect.
Seeing that Zhou Cang was in a trance and looking downcast, Guan Yu asked: "But what trouble happened in the six southern counties of Jingzhou!"
"No, General...sigh..."
Zhou Cang's words were incoherent.
He is a rough man. When he is angry, he will become very emotional, but when he wants to speak... he doesn't know where to start.
Guan Ping quickly handed a cup of tea to Zhou Cang.
"Uncle Zhou, take a sip of tea first and speak slowly...speak slowly."
Zhou Cang took a sip of water and immediately said: "I am ashamed of my trust in the general. I am not very talented and knowledgeable... I cannot teach the general's children!"
Guan Yu was startled, then composed himself, stroking his long beard, "It must be that girl from Yinping. This girl has always been careless and disobedient. She must be the one who made you so frustrated?"
Yinping is the daughter of Guan Yu and the third in the Guan family. She is known as Miss Guan San and her real name is "Yan".
——Guan Yan, small character Yinping!
"It's not Miss Guan San...but..." Zhou Cang opened his mouth wide, but he hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't say a word.
He is a rough man, but not a villain.
He disdained such things as snitching, but now...this "snitching" can't be done without snitching!
"Uncle Zhou, speak slowly, first slowly..." Guan Ping helped Zhou Cang sit down.
Zhou Cang was willing to sit down, but before his butt touched the stool, Huoran stood up straight. "The third young lady is obsessed with martial arts. She gets up before midnight every day to practice, and she never falls asleep... Although the second young master lacks a certain beauty in his natural appearance.
Diligence can compensate for weakness, and his martial arts skills are improving rapidly. As for the fifth young master, although he is not as hard-working as the second young master and the third young lady, he is very beautiful. He has been practicing martial arts for half a year, and it is easy to kill the enemy in battle..."
Zhou Cang said while Guan Yu nodded.
Guan Ping whispered: "Isn't this good?"
Zhou Cang's words continued, but the words he spoke next were a bit off, "Only, only Fourth Young Master Lin..."
"Cloud flag?"
"Fourth brother?"
Guan Yu and Guan Ping subconsciously opened their mouths.
"Yunqi" is Guan Lin's word, which means "the graceful and graceful dragon that drives people, the gentle snake that carries the cloud flag" in "The Songs of Chu"!
This is the small character Liu Bei personally chose for Guan Lin.
It entrusts the beautiful vision of "the flag of the Han Dynasty will once again be raised in the Central Plains", which is the hope of "the Han and the traitors will not stand apart, and the king's industry will not be in peace".
But…
Guan Lin has always been the most ordinary kid.
Ordinary, even more ordinary than his eldest brother's son Liu Chan and Liu Adou.
he…
Does he have the courage?
Guan Yu's eyebrows furrowed, showing more confusion and confusion.
"Alas..." Zhou Cang sighed heavily, "Since... ever since I became a general and went to war, the Fourth Young Master... he has never practiced martial arts!"
"The general initially thought that the fourth young master was bedridden, so he neglected to teach him. Until...until the general saw it with his own eyes. He...he was all pretending! He deceived the general for half a year!"
"He also said... and said, 'Learning martial arts... learning martial arts can't save a big man'!"
