Three Kingdoms: The Reverse Son of the Guan Family, Dragon Blessing Jingxiang

On the Victory Bridge.

Others' eyes were fixed on the strange chariot, the wooden oxen and horses that could walk on their own, and the repeating crossbow that could pierce strong oxen.

But Lu Xun was staring at the two merchants.

From what they said on the high platform just now, Lu Xun wrote down that one of them was called Shi Huolong and the other was called You Tanzhi.

Shi Huolong is tall and strong, while You Tanzhi is slightly half a head shorter than him. From the appearance, they both look like they are from the Central Plains.

Of course, it is not uncommon for people from the Central Plains to do business in Jingzhou, even if it is arms business.

only…

Because of the miraculous skill of a wooden ox and a flowing horse, and because of the power of the repeating crossbow.

Lu Xun couldn't help but think too much.

Why did these two merchants come to Gangneung?

Why did you choose Guan Lin, the young master of the Guan family?

Why not choose Soochow?

After the defeat of Xiaoyaojin, Soochow now needs these high-quality military supplies even more!

It is precisely based on this that Lu Xun made meticulous observations of Shi Huolong and You Tanzhi.

He even noticed that Shi Huolong had two deep inscriptions on his lips. He had a slightly sinister temperament and was estimated to be around forty years old.

And You TanZhi's eyebrows are more relaxed, he is in his thirties, and he always shows a peaceful smile.

Especially when he told Guan Yinping how to use the strange chariot, he was very patient. This kind of character is rare among arms dealers.

Bo Yan, what's wrong with you? Sun Ru looked at Lu Xun with a strange expression.

Lu Xun pursed his lips and looked at the two merchants under the bridge coldly, I'm thinking...if before the Battle of Hefei, those 100,000 Jiangdong disciples were equipped with repeated crossbows, how would Xiaoyaojin's outcome be with such powerful crossbows? Will it be rewritten?”

this…

When the topic of Xiaoyaojin was suddenly mentioned, Sun Ru fell silent.

She could feel that her husband had some obsession with the Xiaoyaojin defeat.

She also knew that this defeat... not only Sun Quan, the leader of Soochow, but also every Jiangdong disciple had a resentment in their hearts.

It is precisely because of this resentment that my husband became more and more curious about the Liannu that could penetrate even a strong ox, and the two mysterious businessmen.

——Can this repeating crossbow restrain the cavalry from the north? 』

Not as thoughtful as Lu Xun.

Sun Ru suddenly saw something. She pointed to the foot of the Shengsheng Bridge: Bo Yan, look over there.

Following the madam's words, Lu Xun's eyes moved northward.

Moved…

Moved…

The infantry and cavalry under the Victory Bridge moved. They formed separate formations, as if the big war was about to break out.

At this moment, not to mention the people on the Victory Bridge, even Lu Xun stared at the battlefield with eyes wide open.

That weird chariot?

After all... what kind of power does it have?

…

Over there.

Guan Ping was telling his father what he had seen in advance.

The expressions of Guan Yu and Ma Liang both changed to varying degrees.

Guan Yu's tone was slightly surprised: According to your words, what these common people said is true!

Yes! Guan Ping said truthfully: Haier and Prefect Mi saw with their own eyes that just now, the fourth brother was holding a repeating crossbow. He just pulled the trigger, and ten crossbow arrows shot out at a very fast speed. Then The strong cow didn't even have time to shout, let alone dodge, and immediately fell to the ground. The fourth brother pulled the trigger again, and this time, the strong cow died directly!

Inexplicably, when Guan Yu heard Guan Ping's words for the first time, he had a feeling.

——This guy Yun Qi shoots so decisively. Trying the repeating crossbow is the second best thing. He is greedy. Killing cows and eating beef is the purpose, right? 』

However, no matter what, if it is true as Guan Ping said, then the power of this repeating crossbow is not small.

Guan Yu's eyes gradually narrowed.

I murmured in my heart, could this arms dealer in Jiaozhou forge such a magical weapon?

Ever since the Jiaozhou Shibian family was forced to surrender to Sun Quan two years ago due to coercion, they have not been idle in the past two years!

besides…

Don't wait for Guan Yu to think about it.

Guan Ping's voice continued.

The wooden oxen and horses are even more magical. They don't need anyone to drive them at all. They can move forward on their own, no matter what kind of road it is, as if they were walking on flat ground... In addition, judging from their size, if they transport military rations, I am afraid that at least thousands of labor can be saved, and there will be no need to be afraid. Shallows, rugged mountain roads...maybe of great benefit to my uncle!

Guan Ping's words made Guan Yu immediately think of his elder brother Liu Bei and Yizhou.

Transporting military rations is okay here in Jingzhou. Most of them are waterways. As long as it is not a dry season, transporting them is quite convenient.

But once the dry season comes, the ship will be stranded and there will be shoals and muddy roads everywhere.

Not to mention marching, simply transporting military rations would become extremely difficult.

And this wooden cow and horse can perfectly solve the problem of dry season.

What's more important is Yizhou, where Big Brother and Kong Ming are.

Only those who have experienced entering Shu will know what it means - the road to Shu is difficult!

When transporting grain and grass on the rugged and difficult-to-walk Shu land, facing steep mountains and forests, and facing the dangerous plank road, the loss of grain is secondary. If you are not careful, you may even lose your life.

Historically, Zhuge Jin's second son, Zhuge Qiao, was adopted by Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang asked him to station himself in the valley and participate in transporting grain along the Shu Road.

As a result... he died on the grain road at the age of only twenty-five, which made Zhuge Liang extremely regretful.

In a letter home to his brother Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Liang wrote this:

——The most sorry thing is Qiao Er. I had no heirs at that time, so I asked my brother for a son to be adopted. My brother reported it to Lord Wu before he adopted me. That is my brother's flesh and blood. I also have high hopes and changed his name to Bosong!

He is the eldest son of the family. He should be like a green pine, standing upright, noble and evergreen, so I have always disciplined him very strictly. During the First Expedition, because all the generals and sons were transporting grain in the rear, I acted with a public heart and He was also asked to supervise the transportation of grain and grass, and regardless of his frailty, he was stationed in the mountains, causing him to die of illness.

It's been seven years and I haven't been able to open my mouth to you. I'm to blame for the separation of my flesh and blood... But I'm not the only one who's been separated because of supervising the transportation of grain and grass?

In this letter home, Zhuge Liang puts aside Zhuge Liang's self-blame for Zhuge Qiao's death.

From the side, it also reflects how difficult the Shu Road is, and how difficult it is to transport grain and grass in the Qinling Mountains that stretch for 700 miles.

Perhaps this is the reason why Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying accelerated the production of wooden cows and flowing horses, and even invested in transporting grain and grass during the fourth and fifth northern expeditions!

However, the current situation has been advanced sixteen years because of Guan Lin and Huang Chengyan.

This repeating crossbow, this wooden ox and flowing horse... Guan Yu was about to give instructions.

Father, look...

Unexpectedly, Guan Pingwan suddenly discovered something and immediately interrupted Guan Yu's words.

He quickly pointed to a place under the bridge.

Guan Yu, Ma Liang, Zhou Cang, and Mi Fang all looked down along Guan Ping's hand.

But on the battlefield under the bridge, Guan Xing's cavalry had already launched a charge towards Guan Yinping's infantry!

…

…

Jiangdong, Stone City.

Zhuge Ke changed his past arrogant attitude and walked restlessly on the street.

Just now, his father Zhuge Jin specially called him to his side and told him something important.

That is, during this special and sensitive period.

Wu Hou had to strengthen the Sun Liu Alliance.

So, he agreed. Zhuge Jin had made a long-standing request and agreed to adopt Zhuge Jin's next son to his second brother, Zhuge Kongming, the military advisor of Uncle Liu Huang who had been idle for more than ten years.

Although this is a bit like political adoption like political marriage, it is an extremely common thing in a big family.

You know, the ancients were extremely persistent in passing on the family line.

If a family does not have a son, it will definitely adopt someone else's child.

There are generally two situations here.

One is adoption between brothers of the same clan. For example, if a younger brother has no son, he can request to adopt his older brother's son. In this case, the elders in the family will usually allow it.

There is another situation, which is to adopt the son of an outsider. Of course, this is relatively rare.

In the first case, there will often be a series of cunning operations.

For example, Yuan Shao, who was once arrogant, was originally a concubine and was born to a maid in his family.

It stands to reason that with such a status, not to mention going to Imperial College, serving as an official, and recruiting heroes, even any resources in the family will not be tilted towards him.

However, Yuan Shaoleng won the favor of his father Yuan Feng with his series of performances.

Then, the father and son performed an extremely sexy operation.

That is, Yuan Feng first adopted his concubine Yuan Shao to his second brother, Yuan Shao's second uncle Yuan Cheng. After Yuan Cheng died, Yuan Feng took Yuan Shao back as his stepson.

——The elder brother died, and the younger brother raised his elder brother’s son and treated him as his own. Is this reasonable?

And this happens again and again.

Yuan Shaona's status as concubine became legendary, and like his eldest brother Yuan Ji and third brother Yuan Shu, he enjoyed all the benefits of a legitimate son.

During the late Han Dynasty, rituals and music collapsed, and many big families would play tricks similar to this.

Compared to them, Zhuge Jin is much more pure.

He simply did it because his younger brother Zhuge Liang had nothing to do for more than ten years and mentioned in the letter that he would not consider taking concubines for the time being...

Calculated in this way, as the elder brother, and Zhuge Jin, who valued the prosperity of the Zhuge family more than the sky, he had the responsibility to adopt a son to his younger brother, and he was bound to do so.

Of course, this son could be the eldest son Zhuge Ke, or the current youngest son Zhuge Qiao.

Originally, Zhuge Jin could just make this decision himself.

Whether it's Zhuge Ke or Zhuge Qiao!

As a son, you can only let it go and cannot disobey.

But this time, Zhuge Jin left the decision in the hands of his son Zhuge Ke.

Whether he, Zhuge Ke, stays, or his brother Zhuge Qiao stays, it all depends on him, in a matter of seconds.

call…

Zhuge Ke, who looked gloomy, took a deep breath.

It's a tough choice.

He didn't want to leave, let alone the father who gave birth to him and raised him, but... could he bear his brother's departure? Brother Qiao...is only seven years old!

Of course, he understands better...

The reason why the leader of the Soochow Kingdom agreed to the request of his father and second uncle was the defeat in the battle of Xiaoyaojin, the loss of Jingzhou under the Hefei Gambling Game, and the reason for all this.

And these…

He and Zhuge Ke also participated and played a very important role.

It can be said that the current situation is that Zhuge Ke is throwing stones at others, stealing the chicken but losing the rice... This is because he personally got himself or his brother involved.

If... if I hadn't believed in Hong Qigong at that time... if... if I hadn't persuaded my father to write to Wu Hou, then... there would have been no Hefei bet, there wouldn't have been...

Zhuge Ke paused and couldn't help but lower his head. His eyes were squeezed into slits, and his eyes were filled with tears.

At this moment, he was in pain, he was confused, and he was at a loss!

He didn't even know how to choose.

at this time…

The cry of Wow wow wow came out.

He noticed that from where he stopped, through the window, he could clearly see a crying baby in the house.

Wow wow wow, wow wow wow, I want a mother, I want a mother...

It turned out that this was a common people's home. The young baby was having a tantrum and crying because he couldn't find his mother.

Weng Weng patiently fed him, My mother has something to do. Come and have a bite. Take a bite.

The little baby sobbed, I want my mother, I want my mother to play with me.

All of a sudden, the baby's crying became louder and more urgent. This time, the children's crying was so noisy that the neighbors were uneasy.

At this moment, an upright and middle-aged man came over impatiently. His next-door neighbor's baby's crying affected his lunch break, so he immediately shouted.

If you cry again, then Zhang Liao will come!

This sentence is equivalent to... comparing Zhang Liao, a majestic Cao Ying general, to an old monster with a green face and fangs who can also eat children!

What is incredible is that when these words came out, the child miraculously did not dare to cry.

It was as if he was afraid that Zhang Liao, an old monster, would come and eat him.

Her teeth chattered as she bit her lip, but tears kept falling from her eyes, but there was no more crying from her mouth.

Come on... come on!

Cry, don’t dare, don’t dare!

This is like the Southern Dynasties, when children cried and adults said Yang Dayan is here.

In the Song Dynasty, children cried and adults said the extremely humiliating Brother Yelvxiu!

Coupled with Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, these macho men have the effect of hitting the nail on the head and stopping crying.

——It can be called a Megatron Kindergarten!

——So terrifying!

Zhuge Ke, on the other hand, saw everything...

The child's tears gradually stopped, but Zhuge Ke's tears fell down like a broken bead chain.

How can Zhuge Ke stay in Jiangdong?

Although…

This blame does not belong to Zhuge Ke, but Sun Quan has firmly passed this blame to his father Zhuge Jin.

Can Zhuge Ke imagine how much ridicule he and his father would receive if they stayed in Jiangdong?

Can he, who has always been proud of his talent, endure this pain?

But...

It is undeniable that Zhuge Ke had no fault in this process.

——His fault is too great!

His fault caused Soochow to lose Jingzhou!

Finally, Zhuge Ke's clenched fists loosened and he gritted his teeth. He seemed to have made a final decision.

——I...I'm going...

——How can someone else fight for the mistakes I made? I...go!

Although I don’t want to!

However, having reached this point, Zhuge Ke chose to take the responsibility himself.

Although he was dissatisfied, Zhuge Ke had to admit it.

——Hong Qigong, Hong Qigong, I want to defeat you one day and avenge my shame, but...I have to join you now! 』

Thinking of this, Zhuge Ke cried.

Because...because I can't beat you, I...I can only join you!
