"This is a great achievement!" Guan Xing in the military tent was quite excited. Through the door, he looked at the battlefield washed by the rain, "If the soldiers knew that the fourth brother was that 'Huang Laoxie', how could they still
I wonder how surprised you will be?"
"We can't tell them." Guan Ping waved his hands quickly, "In such a battle, 'Huang Laoxie' will definitely become the target of public criticism and the hatred of all the generals in Cao Wei. The fourth brother does not know martial arts, so being exposed will only increase a lot of dangers."
.”
"Yes..." Guan Suo also echoed: "Now, apart from my father, Military Advisor Ma Liang, and Uncle Zhou Cang, we are the only three brothers who know Huang Laoxie's identity. Even if it is for the purpose of protecting the fourth brother, we should not put this person
The matter leaked out."
The words of Guan Ping and Guan Suo made Guan Xing suddenly realize.
He knocked on his forehead and nodded repeatedly.
After a moment, he changed the topic, "This battle was really enjoyable. Although the credit goes to the Fourth Brother... No, it should be said that the credit goes to 'Huang Laoxie' and the 'Fourth Brother'... But our brothers, together with these Guan Family Army
It can be regarded as an honor!"
Guan Xing specially emphasized the words "Yu Yourong Yan..."
It seems a bit meaningful.
After all, three thousand tigers and leopards were annihilated, one thousand enemies were captured, and countless military supplies were captured. How could "Huang Laoxie" and "Guan Lin" be able to take this credit?
Guan Xing is eager to get a piece of the pie.
It should be noted that the Guan family army followed the military system of the Han army.
There are five people in a team, and ten people. Above the team leader is the leader. Five teams have a captain, two teams and a tun are commanders. Two teams and one song have military princes. Five teams and one song have a Sima. Three songs and one army.
Set up a school captain!
As long as Guan Xing, as the head of the village, gets a small share of such a great contribution, his career will surely skyrocket.
Maybe he can be promoted to a prince, or even a Sima under special circumstances.
Unlike other soldiers who were promoted, as the son of Guan Yu, Guan Xing did not have to work hard to be proud of his wife. He just wanted to prove himself in front of his father.
The most direct way to prove oneself is to have more soldiers and horses under his command.
Then, like his elder brother Guan Ping, he can lead a battle.
Of course... Guan Xing is not greedy. He still has to give the first credit to his fourth brother Guan Lin and the not-so-mysterious "Huang Laoxie"!
All he needs is "a little" credit.
The more he thought about this, the more excited Guan Xing became...as if he had already fulfilled his wish to become a military prince and a Sima.
only…
Guan Suo's voice sounded like a bucket of cold water was poured on him, "I propose that all the credit should be given to Fourth Brother and Huang Laoxie!"
ah…
As soon as these words came out, Guan Xing was startled.
I muttered in my heart.
——"Fifth brother, do you mean not to leave anything in the battle report?"
Immediately, Guan Xing questioned: "It is true that the fourth brother's method of luring the snake out of the hole and designing the defense was crucial. The invention of the sidecar and the repeated crossbow was even more important for this battle, but... we have no credit, and we should still suffer a little.
Laohu?"
Don't wait for Guan Xing to speak.
Guan Ping's words came one after another.
"I support fifth brother on this matter."
Guan Ping expressed his stance.
Following his statement, Guan Suo laughed knowingly, while Guan Xing had a strange look on his face.
"Brother..."
Guan Xing still wanted to fight for it, but Guan Ping stopped him with his hand and explained.
"What is the relationship between father and fourth brother now? Anguo knows everything about it, right? His father is angry with fourth brother, and fourth brother won't give in. They are at odds with each other! It is precisely because of this that the fourth brother
Only then did I find my brother and ask him to bring a troop of troops to ambush... and that’s how we achieved this great victory.”
"But... Anguo, have you ever thought about what was the focus of the dispute between your father and your fourth brother? What was the reason for the fourth brother's passionate narration when he was at the Victory Bridge?"
"Isn't it all because my father didn't give the fourth brother soldiers and horses, didn't give him a military rank, and even the weapons in the arsenal were not allowed for the fourth brother's troops to wear?"
Speaking of this, Guan Ping's words became more and more serious, "As a brother, I ask about the country of Anguo. From your heart, for you, between you... Should the fourth brother lead the army? Should he have a military rank?"
this…
Guan Xing pursed his lips subconsciously. If it were yesterday, he would have answered directly and firmly - no!
How could there be a general in the Guan family army who knew nothing about martial arts and had no skills, but still tried to command thousands of troops?
Not to mention a general, even a commander? What a commander? A corps commander can’t do it either!
But now... Guan Xing's thoughts have been completely shaken.
Yes... the fourth brother doesn't know any martial arts, but he can make this magical "repeated crossbow" and "side carriage", so that he can kill the enemy from a long distance? Why fight against each other?
And how does the use of sidecars and repeating crossbows require any martial arts skills?
Just an ordinary man, with a little training he can go to the battlefield.
This is not the scariest thing...
The most terrifying thing is that any artifacts invented by others are always hidden, for fear of being heard or seen by the enemy.
Only in this way can unexpected effects be achieved on the battlefield.
But the fourth brother is different. He actually chose... to directly make this "artifact" public and let all forces compete.
In this way, it stirs up the audio and visual, affects the enemy's judgment, and allows the enemy to reveal flaws and weaknesses in the fight, thereby...defeating the enemy with one blow!
Such a strategy, such a character...
Now, this is the result again.
The last time Guan Xing experienced this was with Military Advisor Zhuge and Pang Tong.
call…
Finally, Guan Xing took a long breath. He looked up at his elder brother Guan Ping and then at his fifth brother Guan Suo. Finally, he compromised, and he compromised willingly.
He nodded heavily, "If...if this battle is won, the relationship between father and fourth brother can be eased, the fourth brother can join the army, and the father can open his arsenal to the fourth brother.
Then...even if we don't get any military exploits, so what?"
At the end of these words, Guan Xing gritted his teeth.
It seemed that he was still a little unwilling, but...this unwillingness was finally relieved. At this moment, he became the second brother who "puts the overall situation first" in the eyes of his fourth brother Guan Lin.
"Thank you, second brother..."
Guan Suo quickly handed over his hand, his mood was beyond words.
Guan Xing tried his best to squeeze out a faint smile, "It's all for my fourth brother and father. Why should you, my brother, say thank you?"
"Okay..." Looking at Guan Xing and Guan Suo in front of him, they looked like brothers and sisters. Guan Ping hugged the two of them and said, "You and Yun Qi are all good people. They are all good members of our Guan family.
Man!"
that's all…
How to write a battle report? All of a sudden the dust settled.
In the battle report, there will only be two names in the merit column - Hong Qigong and Guan Lin!
Guan Ping, Guan Xing, Guan Suo, and the ten thousand Guan family troops did not want half of the credit for their achievements, and...all the captured military supplies were also returned to "the person who made the first contribution!"
On this side of the carriage, a fast horse drove towards Jiangling City ahead of the strong wind and rain.
Over there...
In the mountains close to Sunset Valley.
A man covered in blood, wet, and being beaten by heavy rain.
He stretched out his huge palm and used his last strength to climb up a cliff halfway up the mountain.
The cold rain slapped on his face. He turned around, facing the strong wind and rain, and looked around at the people lying on the ground in the valley.
These people were the famous and undefeated Tiger and Leopard Cavalry of Cao Wei yesterday.
But today…
They turned into corpses.
It's like a Shura field.
Their armor has been stripped off and their weapons have been taken away.
Their corpses were just naked, allowing the blood to continuously gush out, and then collect through the rain... and flow into the creek and valley.
Several crows were croaking and hovering in the sky in the rain, as if they had discovered delicious food.
But those who fell could never return home.
finally…
This man could no longer hold back the sadness in his heart.
In those bloodthirsty pupils, tears fell down like a broken bead chain.
However, under the heavy rain, his tears were mixed with the rain, and his cries were drowned by the sound of rain.
Finally, he opened his mouth angrily.
But he didn't dare to roar. He only dared to lower his voice and chant a sentence heavily.
——"Cao Zixiao, Cao Zixiao...why didn't you save me?"
——"Are you... just going to be satisfied with watching my brother of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry... buried in this valley?"
——"...you, it's you...it's you!"
In the end, he no longer cared about so much, he was screaming wildly while resting!
If you want to do this...
Use this to vent your inner resentment and injustice!
——"Cao! Son! Filial piety!"
——"I...I'm going to kill you!"
…
…
The rain gurgled.
"Ha ha ha ha…"
The heartfelt laughter drowned out the sound of rain. Although it was a rainy day, the main hall of Guan Mansion was full of laughter.
Liu, Guan and Zhang Taoyuan became sworn brothers.
When three people sit at the same table and sleep on the same bed, their friendship is naturally higher than the sky and deeper than the sea.
What's more...
When Zhang Fei returned this time, the two brothers had not seen each other for two or three years.
Naturally, it is inevitable to feel sad.
In fact, if it weren't for Yang Yi's slightly sudden words, Guan Yu would have dragged Zhang Fei to drink and get drunk.
At this moment, Guan Yu, Ma Liang, and Zhang Fei were kneeling in the main hall, while Yang Yi explained in detail what Zhuge Liang had told him.
Just a few words...
Guan Yu stroked his long beard: "What Yang Shangshu means is that Kong Ming sent you all the way to Jiangling just to test my son Yunqi?"
"Yes!" Yang Yi held her hand.
Guan Yu sighed with emotion: "I never thought that my son Yun Qi would alarm Kong Ming!"
Guan Yu was talking here, and Yang Yi had already taken out the bamboo slips from his arms, "These are the test questions written by Zhuge Military Advisor..." As he spoke, Yang Yi was about to present them to Guan Yu.
Guan Yu returned the bamboo slips to Yang Yi, "Since it is Kongming's exam to teach Yunqi, it means selection and promotion. Yunqi is Guan's son, and Guan should not read this exam question!"
Hearing this, Yang Yi quickly took the bamboo slips back carefully and then handed them over.
"Guan Gong can't be more fair than this!"
Guan Yu waved his hand, "Where is General Zhou Cang?"
"The end is here!"
"Since Yang Shangshu is here to take the exam for Yun Qi on behalf of Kong Ming, you should call Yun Qi over immediately."
Guan Yu gave an order.
"Here..." Zhou Cang agreed...and immediately walked out of the mansion.
After all, it was Guan Yu's son who was testing him.
There is another son who has changed greatly in Guan Yu's heart recently.
Although this boy always challenged his father, his various actions and positive successes made Guan Yu pay more attention to him.
This time, Guan Yu realized that this was a God-given opportunity for Yun Qi.
If you answer well, you may be able to follow the example of Ma Liang's younger brother Ma Su and become Kong Ming's disciple.
Serve at his side and learn from his words and deeds. If you do this, your future will be limitless.
only…
How high is Kong Ming's vision? Guan Yu knows it best.
Except for Ma Su, those who want to learn from Kong Ming have already crossed the threshold.
In the entire Jingzhou, including big families such as "Pang, Ma, Xiang, and Xi", the only disciple Kong Ming could like was Ma Su and Ma Youchang!
From this we can see how difficult it is to become one of his disciples.
Of course, in order for Yun Qi to pass the test, Guan Yu worked hard. After instructing Zhou Cang to invite Guan Lin, he acted impartially and then turned to look at Yang Yi.
"Yang Shangshu, is this arrangement good?"
How could Yang Yi not understand what Guan Yu meant?
This is to prove that he, Guan Yu, has never revealed anything to his son Guan Lin. What he has witnessed is the true talent and learning of Master Guan Lin.
"Guan Gong arranged it properly, I admire him!"
Zhang Fei, on the other hand, doesn't understand these twists and turns.
When the second brother talked to Yang Yi, what he heard was in confusion.
He scratched his head: "Second brother, speaking of your son, I have heard many rumors about him along the way..."
oh…
Guan Yu raised his eyes and murmured in his heart:
——"Is Yunqi already so famous?"
Zhang Fei's voice continued, and his tone became more and more curious: "People say that this guy is called the 'Jiu Mu King of Jingzhou', and he killed more than thirty wolves by himself? Is this really true?"
Really... fake?
In front of Yang Yi, Guan Yu was embarrassed to say it.
Ma Liang opened his mouth and said: "This is true. Indeed, the Fourth Young Master fought against more than thirty evil wolves with his own strength. Not only did he escape unscathed, but he also shot all these evil wolves!"
"Ouch..."
Zhang Fei couldn't help but exclaimed: "If this kid is so good at fighting, then in the Guan family army, he must be a Yamen general, right?"
Well…
The words came out of his mouth.
Guan Yu and Ma Liang were speechless. Not to mention General Yamen, if he had been given a village chief, there wouldn't have been so many things later!
The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
Zhang Fei's words recited again: "How could someone say that he first asked his second brother to write a sin against himself in front of all the soldiers, and then in front of the people in the city, what kind of bet did he want to make with his second brother?
You lost the bet, and you want your second brother to apologize in front of the whole city? Is this true or false?"
When Zhang Fei said this, he changed his appreciation and saw a surge of anger.
His second brother, a father, could still be bullied by his son!
Zhang Fei wished he could... teach this kid a lesson for his second brother.
this…
Guan Yu didn't want to talk about this topic.
She was afraid that Yang Yi would report all these things back to Kong Ming, which would make Kong Ming think that Yun Qi was a naughty son who refused to obey discipline, thus denying him!
Just like...in the past, he, Guan Yu, denied Yun Qi's ability as a military advisor because he didn't know martial arts!
Of course, Guan Yu couldn't say these words. He turned to look at Ma Liang.
Ma Liang understood, and defended with a smile: "There are rumors among the people, and there are also stories about three people becoming tigers?"
"General Zhang still believes what he hears, and what he sees is belief. What's more... there were only two people in Jingzhou who predicted the correct result in the Hefei battlefield, and Mr. Yunqi was one of them!"
Ma Liang deliberately changed the topic...
Sure enough, Zhang Fei followed Ma Liang's words and shouted.
"You said that, and I remembered that when I entered Jingzhou, whether it was a wine shop, an inn, or a tea stall, it was all about the Hefei Bet and the 'Common Artifact'. Among them, 'Hong Qigong' and 'Huang Laoxie'
'The limelight...has completely overshadowed that boy Yun Qi!"
When he said this, Zhang Fei's eyes widened and he was extremely curious.
"Among them, 'Hong Qigong' is said to be so miraculous. What prompted the Hefei bet and made the blue-eyed man from Jiangdong never mention the 'borrowing Jingzhou' thing to our eldest brother again!"
"And that 'Huang Laoxie' is said to be the nemesis of the cavalry. The repeating crossbow he made has a farther range and more power than the one made by Kong Ming. Is it really so powerful? Why didn't I hear about it when I was in Jingzhou?
Have you passed this person?"
Speaking of this, Zhang Fei's leopard eyes looked at Guan Yu with endless questions.
"Second brother, can you tell me carefully, are there really these 'Hong Qigong' and 'Huang Laoxie' in Jingzhou?"
