Chapter 125: A Guanyun flag shames the civil and military forces of Jingzhou
Guan Lin's words are a "truly" kind reminder.
only…
Under this situation and the atmosphere has reached this point, who would accept it?
really.
"We are just doing justice for heaven, how can we run away?"
Li Miao started.
Next, countless people began to criticize Guan Lin verbally and writtenly.
"If we don't have an explanation, we won't be leaving today, and you won't be able to leave either!"
"Is there any evidence? Show it. If not... let him go, let him go!"
"I'll go to Guan Mansion together and ask Guan Gong whether he cares about this 'traitor'!"
These words came out.
Guan Yinping and Zhang Xingcai couldn't help but raise their fists.
Guan Lin smiled at the two of them, his eyes as calm as lake water were filled with calmness and indifference, but this indifference was also wrapped with a confident confidence.
Guan Yinping and Zhang Xingcai then put away their thoughts of taking action and stood aside, quietly watching every move here.
Guan Lin once again spread his hands towards Li Miao, "If you treat your kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs, there is nothing you can do about it. Well...since you won't leave and you won't let me leave, then just stay and see who will be there later."
regret?"
"We won't regret it!"
"We just want to ask where is the justice? Where is the law?"
In this way, Guan Lin remained as calm as a pine and cypress amidst all the criticism...
The surrounding sounds were like the buzzing of flies in his ears.
This state of mind is a bit like "the breeze blows on the hills and the bright moon shines on the river".
Over there.
After Guan Lin left the main hall of the government office, the place quickly exploded.
Mi Fang first asked people to take a group of "Wei spies" who surrendered, including Wang Qi, into prison.
Immediately afterwards, he started to have trouble.
There are more than 100 people on a list, including more than 40 officials. Although they are not big, there are too many to handle. If they are all arrested, Jiangling City will be exhausted!
"This...this...what should I do?"
Mi Fang once again showed that his position as governor was entirely based on nepotism and had nothing to do with ability!
When this happened, he was already panicking.
After seeing the bamboo slips, Ma Liang sighed with emotion: "The bamboo slips of Fourth Young Master are really conclusive evidence! Not a single detail is left out..."
With this in mind, Ma Liang turned his head and looked outside the main hall of the Yamen Office, at the door of the mansion directly opposite him, and couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder Li Miao was able to gather so many people outside the Yamen Office. Now it seems that they are all
They’re like a raccoon dog!”
Zhang Fei shouted: "These detailed works are all in front of the mansion. It will save trouble and save you the trouble of catching them one by one...how do you say that, you are throwing yourself into a trap!"
Hearing this, Mi Fang tentatively opened her mouth, "Three generals, are you really going to arrest them? But... there are too many people, right?"
Zhang Fei was unhappy when he heard this, "What? Could it be that you are still thinking that my second brother is the kind of person who tolerates thieves?"
Ma Liang also added at the right time, "How can Guan Gong's eyes tolerate sand?"
However, as soon as these words came out of his mouth, Ma Liang felt that they were not serious.
He thought that sand was not tolerated in Guan Gong's eyes, but... the sand called "Guan Lin Guan Yun Banner" was an exception.
But Yang Yi, who was also from Jingzhou, saw the list in the bamboo slips.
His mind suddenly changed and he came up with different opinions.
"I think there are quite a few big families on this list. These people have been able to adapt to the changing circumstances, and they have moved towards Qin, Mu, and Chu. There are also some at both ends of the spectrum..."
Yang Yi talked about it: "In the past, when Cao Cao won the battle of Guandu, hundreds of letters were found in Yuan Shao's military tent. These were letters from Cao Ying officials who had an affair with Yuan Shao. People were panicked for a while."
"I never thought that in the end, Cao Cao burned all these letters and said, 'At that time, even Cao Cao did not believe that he could defeat Yuan Shao, let alone others?' It was this fire that restored the morale of the army.
Stability, in exchange for everyone's sincere submission, indirectly helped him to pacify the northern border."
"How similar is the situation today to the Battle of Guandu in the past? Aren't we today the same Cao A'ao we were in the past?"
Don't tell me, Yang Yi's words are reasonable and well-founded.
Because he had served in Cao Wei for a short time, he also knew more stories spread among Cao Wei's army.
This time, the story of Cao Cao's "Battle of Guandu" was originally quoted.
Mi Fang nodded slightly, "I also thought about it. Cao Cao, a man who kills without blinking an eye and is suspicious by nature, can do this when facing those letters. On the other hand, if we...if we really arrest everyone, Jingzhou officials will
Paralysis is the second best, I am afraid that the whole Jingzhou will be panicked, which is not conducive to the stability of people's hearts, nor is it conducive to Yunchang's Northern Expedition!"
this…
Yang Yi and Mi Fang were talking.
Zhang Fei scratched his head, he was a little bit involved, "You people, after reading the book, you think too much? If we don't kill him, wouldn't Yun Qi's work be in vain?"
"Three generals, calm down." Ma Liang also spoke repeatedly: "At this time and that time, the reason why Cao Cao burned those bamboo slips is because he rose too fast, the forces behind him were too complex, and there were too many people under his command.
, these forces are so intertwined that he cannot punish them, let alone kill them! Moreover, it is not easy for him to win the battle of Guandu. The most urgent thing is to stabilize and avoid internal troubles..."
"What's more, before the Battle of Guandu, he just went on a killing spree in the court, strangling the father of the country Dong Cheng, Dong Guifei and his son. People in the government and the public were panicked. At that time, Cao Cao had to win people's hearts!"
Speaking of this, Ma Liang paused.
"But... Jingzhou is different from Luoyang. The families here are not complicated. There have been no internal troubles here before. Uncle Liu Huang is only virtuous and virtuous. Guan Gong is unparalleled in martial arts. The people are even more submissive... Because of this, Jingzhou has a strong
What’s more, we should unite as one. If we don’t kill these people who ‘Chao Qin, Mu Chu’, etc., as a warning to others, then not only Yun Qi’s heart will be chilled, but also Guan Gong’s and Uncle Liu’s heart will be chilled!”
Speaking of this, Ma Liang's words became more and more serious, "Don't be afraid if you are sick, but you must treat it. Although Yun Qi acted recklessly this time, it is tantamount to giving a strong dose to Jiangling City and Jingzhou... Cao Cao is a confidant.
A serious disease, even scabies, must be cured!"
"What's more, if these people are eliminated, one can clear Cao Wei's eyes and intimidate Xiangfan, and the other can punish these people who are facing Qin and Mu Chu to serve as a warning... As long as the people of Jingzhou are united, no matter how powerful Cao Wei is,
What’s the point of being afraid?”
Speaking of this, Ma Liang paused again.
He took a deep breath.
"Finally, I want to talk about Yun Qi...he did something that was of great benefit to Jingzhou and the Han Dynasty! He made a great contribution, which makes me feel shocked even now.
!”
"What shocks me is...such a seemingly impossible task was not done by Guan Gong, nor by me, Ma Liang, nor by Prefect Mi...but by Fourth Young Master Yun Qi! It was a small
The thief Cao Shuli did it! It was done by a person who cannot hold any rank in the Guan family army! It was done by a person who prepared his own troops and horses, but did not even open his arsenal to him..."
"Every time I think of this, I, Ma Liang, am ashamed... I, Ma Liang, am also ashamed for Guan Gong and Jingzhou... The Fourth Young Master Guan does not owe Jingzhou, but it is Jingzhou who is severely humiliated by Yun Qi! Now, Yun Qi has done this
How many? It proves so much? But we are still discussing whether we should arrest these Wei spies? Isn’t it ridiculous? Is it shameful? At least... I, Ma Liang, think that I have no face to see others!"
At the end of the sentence, Ma Liang turned away.
And what he said was true and conclusive, which undoubtedly severely damaged everyone's kidney meridian.
Yang Yi quickly handed over his hand, "What Ji Chang said is true. Yun Qi has made such a great contribution to this impossible task that we can only feel ashamed!"
Just then...
"Report..." A civil servant broke into the main hall and reported: "Guan Si... the fourth young master was surrounded by... the people led by Li Miao. It seems that they... refused to let the fourth young master leave!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Fei was furious. "How unreasonable..." He immediately roared: "Gongwei is right, the entire Jiangling City officials should be ashamed. Of course, I am not ashamed, I will arrest these birds.
"
As he spoke, Zhang Fei took big steps to walk out the door.
"Third General, wait a minute..."
Mi Fang quickly called Zhang Fei to stop.
But at this moment, Mi Fang showed a rare and resolute side, "What the three generals said is absolutely true. There is no reason for 'a thief shouts to catch a thief.' Pass this eunuch's order and announce it to the whole city. Anyone who has an affair with a Wei spy or accepts bribes"
, arrest immediately... Anyone who exchanges private messages with Cao Wei will be punished with the same crime as a Wei spy!"
Speaking of this, Mi Fang shouted loudly.
——"Arrest people!"
——"Those who are surrounding the Fourth Young Master, arrest them all!"
…
…
Jingnan, Changsha County, Malan Mountain.
This mountain is named after the horse pens built here to raise horses during "Guan Gong's War in Changsha".
At this moment, Liao Li, the governor of Changsha, was standing among them.
I saw the surrounding green mountains and gurgling streams, which looked like a beautiful picture of mountains and rivers.
However, Liao Li had no time to appreciate it. He just chirped and looked at Guanshan Mountain on the other side...
That is also Guanshan, which is famous for Guan Gong's battle in Changsha.
According to legend, it was on this Guan Mountain that Guan Yu and Huang Zhong fought twice.
In the first game, Guan Yu lured Huang Zhong here and wanted to win by "dragging the sword", but he didn't expect... Before he could "drag the sword", Huang Zhong's horse fell first.
Guan Yu released Huang Zhong and asked him to change his horse and fight again tomorrow.
In the second game, Huang Zhong used his bow. He first drew it but did not fire. Guan Yu thought that the opponent did not know how to use arrows and was trying to bluff people. Who would have thought that at this time... the third arrow shot out and hit Guan Yu's helmet!
This caused Guan Yu to be surprised again and again.
Today, seven years have passed since Guan Gong fought in Changsha, but the large number of arrow towers and camps on Guan Mountain are especially visible.
only…
These still couldn't attract Liao Li's attention. All his attention was on the river between the two mountains.
Recently, many people have gathered here...
Nominally, these people are merchants, and they gather near Guanshan to trade goods...but...anyone with a discerning eye can't see what kind of goods are worthy of dispatching so many people?
This also made Liao Li's mood always tense.
I'm afraid, this is another catastrophe in Changsha!
It's another raid from Jiangdong...or Jiaozhou!
After all, the last time... Lu Meng raided Jingnan, it was so vivid in my mind... as if it was right before my eyes.
If the Fourth Young Master Guan Lin hadn't predicted it in advance and Guan Yu had made arrangements in advance, then Changsha today would probably have been named "Sun", and Liao Li, if his skin was gone, how could he be attached to General Mao?
Just then.
"Prefect Liao..."
A literary official reported: "General Liu Pan came from Jingzhou and said that Guan Gong had important matters and asked him to report them."
"Quickly pass!" Liao Li did not dare to neglect and greeted quickly.
Not long after, Liu Pan was brought over. He looked very tired...
Even if there is a waterway during the 600-mile expedited journey, you can take a break, but it is not a joke!
However, when he saw Liao Li, Liu Pan immediately picked up his spirits and got straight to the point... "Prefect Liao, I will not say any more pleasantries. Guan Gong has something to say, and ordered Prefect Liao to pay close attention to the places where merchants gathered in Changsha County. An informant reported back
News, foreign merchants want to trade a piece of goods here!"
Liao Li shared Guan Yu's original words. "When merchants trade, it is inevitable that there will be price discrepancies, and occasionally there will be violent fights. If you encounter an emergency, you can make a decisive decision and take extraordinary measures!"
this…
Liu Pan's words blurted out, and Liao Li was slightly startled.
Guan Gong, what does this mean?
Indeed, many merchant ships have docked nearby recently.
But...if it is determined to be a normal transaction among merchants, then why bother?
How can there be the following sentence - in extraordinary times, you can make a decisive decision and take extraordinary measures!
Liao Li pondered.
——"Why does Guan Gong sound like he is asking us officers and soldiers to rob it?"
Immediately, Liao Li asked urgently: "General Liu, does he know what Guan Gong means?"
"This...I don't know." Liu Pan shook his head, but he still took out a handwritten letter from Guan Yu.
Of course, the content in this handwritten letter is the same as what he just reported.
Liao Li took the handwritten letter and read it hastily. He didn't find any difference and was about to continue asking.
But I saw a small note falling from the handwriting.
Liao Li was curious, so he quickly picked up the note and opened it to take a look, but it didn't matter if he didn't read it. When he saw it, Liao Li was stunned for a moment.
Then, he looked at Liu Pan with infinite surprise.
Liu Pan didn't know why, so he also came over... to read the content on the note.
I saw the small note saying - "Tomorrow at noon, there will be a surprise in the cave at the foot of Guanshan Mountain. The prefect must lead his troops here. There will be something harvested, no sooner than later!"
As for this unexplained note, Liu Pan and Liao Li were still at a loss.
But... the signature on the note was a bit shocking.
Because the signature is nothing else, but just three words - Hong Qigong!
This note...was stuffed in by Hong Qigong?
Can…
Liu Pan trembled all over, "I came out of Guan Mansion with only Guan Gong's handwriting and went all the way south. Even the posthouse never stopped for a long time. When was this note inserted?"
This is quite scary...
Liao Li was even more confused. He asked, "General Liu is asking this prefect?"
Well…
Suddenly the atmosphere became a little awkward.
Liu Pan opened his mouth, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.
It was Liao Li. After pondering for a long time, he finally said: "Is there a possibility that this note... was given by Hong Qigong to General Guan? General Guan lent it to you and handed it over to this prefect!"
this…
Liao Li's conjecture was too bold, but it made Liu Pan's eyes fixed. He quickly said: "Is this... could it be so?"
Before Liu Pan could continue to speak, Liao Li's intriguing words were heard first.
"No matter what, at noon tomorrow... we will order troops to go to the Guanshan cave!"
"Haha, I am a little curious about the surprise in the Guanshan cave!"
