Chapter 390 Guan Yu: It’s Time to Stretch My Arms and Legs! [Monthly Vote Requested]

"If Xiao Xuanfeng goes undercover, this matter will be done!"

In Zhending City, upstairs at Fengming Academy, Liu Bei read the letter and listened to what Yue Fei relayed. The more he thought about it, the more he realized that undercover was a good strategy.

But before that, preparations must be done.

Chase down the few caravan stewards who escaped, and then have someone pretend to be the confidant of the Cao family leader, take a reply to Daliao, establish a relationship with the leader of the country, and then agree on a meeting place.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei said to Yan Qing:

"No matter what the cost, we must find those who escaped!"

"Follow the order!"

Fortunately, when Zhang Fei led his men to kill, he had a sports camera on him and took pictures of the faces of those people. Now he only needs to follow the direction in which they escaped.

Yan Qing left in a hurry, preparing to personally take the people from the Intelligence Department to handle the matter.

Liu Bei called Shi Xiu over again:

"You have met with Chai Daguan. Later, you and Taoist Master Qiao will set off to Cangzhou. Find Chai Daguan and ask him to dispose of his family property as soon as possible, and then fake his death to join us at Zhending Mansion."

Without the edict, Chai Jin could not leave Cangzhou, but with Qiao Daoqing here, this was not a problem.

Directly using illusions to stage a drama about Chai Jin's death in Cangzhou, he will definitely be able to deceive everyone. When the time comes, the world will be huge and he will be free from restrictions wherever he wants to go.

Shi Xiu took the order and left, hurriedly meeting Qiao Daoqing and preparing to leave for Cangzhou.

In an inconspicuous small courtyard next to Fengming Academy, Yan Qing was arranging the task of eradicating the leader of the caravan. Yang Lin calculated the time for the other party to escape and muttered:

"It's been almost a day, can I still find a trace?"

The opponent turned around on his fast horse and ran away. He was completely confused about the direction, let alone which direction to look for. It was like a blackout.

Yan Qing said:

"Don't worry, we have a solution."

After speaking, he bowed his hand to Xie Yingdeng:

"Can Taoist Priest help divine the direction in which the other party's people will escape?"

If the scientific path doesn't work, then start with metaphysics. If that doesn't work, you can call Gongsun Sheng, who is staying in Qilin Village, over and fly directly to the sky to follow him.

Looking at the photos of several people, Xie Yingden silently took out the turtle shell used for divination, did some serious divination, and said with some doubts:

"It's not too far away, just near Xingtang... Are they planning to come back secretly to join the Cao family?"

The people in the caravan still don't know what happened. They probably thought Zhang Fei and others were the thieves plundering the Zhending Mansion, so they wanted to adjust and find a way to contact the Cao family.

After hearing this, Yan Qing immediately picked up the walkie-talkie, prepared to act with the cavalry, and quickly set off to Xingtang. He also emphasized:

"We must catch them alive, those people are of great use!"

At least many years later, he will have to go undercover in Daliao, but we still know very little about the intelligence there, and we don't know the person in charge of the connection, so we have to capture him alive and interrogate him.

In addition, through them, you can also get specific information about the two caravans going out to the Grassland and the Kingdom of Jin. It would be great if you could catch them all in one go.

Xie Yingden said:

"Let Yang Lin and I go together, with more people and more helpers."

He can control objects, and Yang Lin is lucky. The two of them can prevent many accidents by following their actions.

Yan Qing nodded in agreement, and the group hurriedly left the small courtyard of the Intelligence Department, joined the cavalry troops, and headed straight to Xingtang County, north of Zhending Mansion.

After leaving the city, Yan Qing and others solemnly hung the good luck cat pendants around their necks to increase their chances of winning.

Hundreds of miles away, Qilin Village, Neihuang County.

Guan Yu was sitting in the courtyard, listening to Ma Ling's explanation of how to capture Zhending Mansion, and said with a smile while stroking his beard:

"It is truly a blessing for the people to be able to capture the Zhending Mansion without any bloodshed!"

The eldest brother and the third brother had caused such a big battle in Zhending Mansion. He couldn't just watch all the time. It was time to move his arms and legs. He asked Zhu Wu:

"How's the probing going?"

Zhu Wu spread a map on the table and said to Guan Yu:

"There are hills, iron mines, and a relatively large weapons workshop around Handan City. If we can capture it, we can echo the Zhending Mansion and reduce the pressure there. But accordingly, Handan needs to be improved The city’s defense level is ready to resist attacks from the Song Dynasty’s hinterland.”

While things were going on in Zhending Mansion, Guan Yu and others were not idle either.

They wanted to capture Daming Mansion before, but there was no danger to defend it. Cai Jing's son-in-law was still in charge. If they attacked rashly, it would easily lead to revenge from the court.

Relatively speaking, Handan is much easier. Its political status is not that important, there are dangers to defend, and it can continuously manufacture weapons and city defense equipment without worrying about being taken away by the imperial army.

If we plan well, we might be able to replicate Zhendingfu's successful experience of fighting without bloodshed.

In the original work of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Guan Yu is the commander of the military region guarding Jingzhou, and he is an existence that can independently guard one side. Now with the blessing of all the memories and experiences in the original work, Lao Guan will naturally perform more perfectly.

The eldest brother and the third brother are expanding the territory in the north, so we can't be idle in our hometown, we have to be busy as well.

This time there is no rebellion by the rats of Soochow, and the tragedy of losing Jingzhou will definitely not happen again, and the eldest brother will not have to use the power of the whole country to consume all the family wealth that he has accumulated for half his life.

Moreover, after capturing Handan, and then taking Xingtai to the north, it will be connected with Zhending Mansion.

Not only can it increase strategic depth, but it can also work hand in hand with Zhending Mansion to keep watch.

The eight-armed Nezha Xiang Chong asked:

"Second Master, the main force of the Intelligence Department is all in Zhending Mansion. Should we transfer a few people to help?"

Before Guan Yu could say anything, Gongsun Sheng walked in with square steps:

"Brother Xiang Chong's words are biased. Although I am not a man of letters or martial arts, he served as the deputy minister when the Ministry of Intelligence was established... I am a man of no talent. I am willing to take the lead and go to Handan City. ”

Guan Yu quickly stood up, cupped his hands and said:

"With the help of Taoist Master Gongsun, great things can be accomplished!"

Unlike Zhending Mansion where there were many cavalry generals, the current Qilin Village was almost all infantry generals.

Xiang Chong, Li Gun, Xie Zhen, Xie Bao, Zou Yuan, Zou Run, Yang Chun, Chen Da... plus Wu Erlang who settled in the real world, are almost all infantry generals.

But the cavalry is not completely absent. Shan Xiongxin, Hu Sanniang and his wife, Hu Cheng, Sun Li and others who dominate the mountains around Daming Mansion, can all gallop on the battlefield with their horses and whips raised.

As for professionals such as Jiang Jing, Ling Zhen, Tao Zongwang, and An Daoquan, they did not participate in the siege.

Guan Yu thought for a moment and quickly issued the order:

"Then start making preparations. When Erlang comes, I will ask him to transport some more weapons and equipment."

Nowadays, there are only 20,000 people in Qilin Village and the cottages around Daming Mansion. It is quite difficult to win a city.

Fortunately, everyone has sophisticated weapons, tacit cooperation, and the blessing of some modern military equipment such as drones, walkie-talkies, and telescopes. As long as we seize the fighter plane, we can take Handan City in one fell swoop.

Guan Yu gave the order and everyone got busy.

Troops were being trained, food was being prepared, and information was being gathered, the entire Qilin Village was operating at high speed.

Now that the planting of winter wheat has ended, it’s time to stretch our arms and legs and celebrate the New Year in a city.

In the real world, Li Yu watched his old mother’s live broadcast in front of the statue and couldn’t help but say:

"Laoguan really can't sit still, but if he does this, the eastern foothills of Taihang Mountain will be connected. He can occupy half of the territory of Hebei West Road, and he can attack Tian Hu at any time."

Tian Hu's territory is all at the western foot of the Taihang Mountains, which is roughly the area from Taiyuan, Shanxi to Yuncheng and Changzhi. As long as we cross the Taihang Mountains, we can take Tian Hu's territory into our pocket.

As for Tian Hu himself, just hold a public trial and deal with it directly.

The empress said:

"You already know this. Go back. It will take some time for them to attack. You don't need to pay attention to them all the time."

Although the order to occupy Handan has been issued, a lot of preparation work needs to be done in the early stage. According to this progress, Guan Yu can capture it before the Spring Festival, which is already extremely fast.

Li Yu strolled back to the B&B. It was already past eight o'clock in the evening. He drove Zhou Ruotong, Diao Chan and Mu Guiying back to the city.

There is an exam tomorrow, so we can't delay.

After the family left, Li Shimin opened a bag of small cakes and said while eating:

"I heard that every world has to contribute beautiful women to the husband. Big man, do you think this is true or false?"

"This is all nonsense made by Marquis Wen... By the way, how old is your third brother Yuanji now?"

"About four years old, what's wrong? You want me to kill him in advance?"

Yuwen Chengdu: "..."

He is truly worthy of being an emperor. He speaks directly. For such a small baby, if you open your mouth or shut up, you will live and die. You are so murderous at such a young age.

Yuwen Chengdu said earnestly:

"Since everything in that world can be changed, you can try to change them. Just do some things that need to be done. The result is not important. What is important is that after you pay, you will not always be embarrassed in your heart."

Li Shimin suffered from serious mental illness in his later years, and he could not get over the psychological shadow of killing his brothers. In his later years, he executed his eldest son Li Chengqian, which aggravated his condition.

Now that it's too late, you can try to ease the relationship, even if it's just to avoid regrets in your later years.

Li Shimin nodded, took out his mobile phone, and generously transferred 5,000 yuan to Yuwen Chengdu:

"While I'm away, you can buy whatever you want. Don't embarrass our Sui and Tang world."

Yuwen Chengdu asked jokingly:

"If I want to collect money, will you be so distressed that I can't sleep in the middle of the night?"

The little guy patted his chest, looking like money was like dirt:

"No, if I, Li Shimin, want money, I can become a millionaire by just bringing something here. To me, it's just small money."

After collecting the money, Yuwen Chengdu put on his headphones and began to learn historical knowledge related to the Industrial Revolution. Li Shimin sat in front of the computer, eating snacks and studying the tactics of the Yue Family Army.

After reading it, he threw the empty snack bag into the trash can. He was about to drink some drinks, but after thinking about it, he got himself a cup of hot water, and then asked Yuwen Chengdu:

"Big man, have you studied Brother Fei's Yue Family Army?"

"I have studied that heavy armored cavalry is the core, heavy armored infantry is the defense, and is supplemented by crossbowmen and light cavalry. Attack, defense, and speed can all be covered, but the most noteworthy thing is discipline... If you freeze to death, you will not demolish the house. Starving to death without plundering, only a handful of military strategists in all dynasties can do this."

Good discipline can enable soldiers to burst into super combat effectiveness.

However, in ancient society, it was very difficult to maintain military discipline, especially when a certain place could not be attacked for a long time, and the soldiers were holding their breath. At this time, emphasis on discipline could easily trigger mutiny.

In order to stimulate the bloodiness of the soldiers, the generals would usually promise to massacre the city at this time, or rob the city for three days to let the soldiers vent their anger.

But this kind of thing has never happened to the Yue family army, and it has truly followed the military orders.

Yuwen Chengdu said:

"When I go to the world of the Three Kingdoms, I will build an army based on the model of the Yue Family Army. I hope to set an example for the professional soldiers of the Three Kingdoms."

Li Shimin blew the water glass like a small cadre and took a sip of hot water:

"Just ask my brother-in-law to emphasize military discipline. All the three major disciplines and eight points of attention will be implemented. If the military orders are grasped, the military style will naturally take on a new look."

Just as he said this, Liu Xie walked in carrying a few corn cobs:

"Brother Shimin, brother Yuwen, we have a great corn harvest in the Three Kingdoms world... Where is sir?"

Li Shimin pointed in the direction of the city and said:

"Back to the market... This corn cob is big enough. Is there any banditry?"

Liu Xie placed the corn cobs on the coffee table and said:

"Several incidents of banditry and food robbery occurred throughout the Guanzhong Plain. General Zilong personally led the cavalry to suppress the bandits. Those captured were handed over to Guo Fengxiao for disposal. Following the clues, two Jingzhao families were dug out."

There are usually no bandits, but now that there is a good harvest, bandits have appeared. You can think with your fingers that it must be done by some aristocratic families who are jealous of food.

Since Dong Zhuo was executed, the land under the imperial court's name has exceeded one million acres, and 90% of this farmland was taken from aristocratic families.

Those aristocratic families who donated their land will definitely not give up when they see a bumper harvest.

However, the imperial court had long been on guard against this move. Troops were stationed in every county in Guanzhong, and food protection teams and patrol teams were set up in villages and townships to reduce the chance of food being robbed as much as possible.

Liu Xie didn't stay too long. He ate a bucket of instant noodles and hurried back to Chang'an City.

Before leaving, he sent a message to Li Yu saying that he wanted a device for exploding popcorn. Since the food harvest was good, he should enjoy it with the people.

Li Yu saw this message and immediately replied:

"No problem, I'll buy it as soon as possible."

He ordered several sets of popcorn popping equipment from a wholesale website. When he was a child, every winter, he would encounter popcorn popping machines in the village. Every time, they would attract countless children. Everyone was both afraid and wanted to see them. Li Yu still looks like this Can't forget it.

As far as Sun Facai is concerned, when this thing arrives, it will immediately become his toy.

Traditional popcorn popping equipment is relatively dangerous and inefficient, so Li Yu specially bought several sets of commercial popcorn machines.

In addition, he also bought a special corn mill, which is specially used to process corn grits, corn minced, corn flour, etc., so that the people of the Three Kingdoms can explore more ways to eat it.

After placing the order, Li Yu went to take a shower, then came to Diao Chan's room and said with concern:

"Go to rest early and you will be free to take another exam tomorrow."

"Yeah, thank you, sir."

The little girl's face was red. As soon as Li Yu left, she hugged the pink piggy on the bedside and kissed it non-stop. After kissing, she held her in her arms again and fell asleep with a sweet look on her face.

The next day, the exam continued.

After Li Yu sent Diao Chan into the examination room, he drove to Shitou Zhai Village. Xiu He's mother-in-law had already prepared the rooster, as well as some home-grown vegetables.

Considering that it was inconvenient to kill chickens in the city, Li Yu deliberately killed the chickens at Xiuhe's house before leaving.

Before leaving, Xiuhe's mother-in-law gave her a bag of goose eggs and a can of salted duck eggs pickled in red clay. Li Yu wanted to give her money, but the old lady refused.

In desperation, Li Yu took two bottles of Wuliangye from the car and two bottles of Furong Wang bought for Guo Jia.

The folks are simple, but we can’t be stingy either.

When he got home, he started to prepare lunch, and specially added a dish of bitter melon and fried goose eggs. It was hot and eating more bitter vegetables was good for the body.

In the afternoon, we knead goose eggs and make noodles for everyone according to the recipe of Zhu Sheng Noodles. We also make some wontons to make wonton noodles.

The noodles with egg taste smooth, chewy and very delicious.

Li Yu had wanted to try this for a long time. Last night, he watched Boss Lin's cooking tutorial while he was free, and he wanted to try it even more.

Mu Guiying happened to be here, so she could be responsible for the physical work.

While he was busy, Wancheng in the Three Kingdoms World was a different scene.

Prefect Xu Huang personally greeted him at the door, and finally saw Li Yan's mother and son who came from Huyang County:

"Welcome Li Zhengfang, what disease does your father suffer from?"

Unexpectedly, the prefect personally greeted him. Li Yan was flattered and bowed, then pointed to his mother in the carriage and said:

"My mother often faints. She has consulted several doctors, but they all say it is just physical weakness and nothing serious. However, the frequency of fainting has become more and more recent. The boy is poor and cannot afford ginseng and other deficiencies, so he can only sleep in secret. Wipe away tears."

Xu Huang rushed to the people carrying medicine boxes and waved to him:

"Go and give the old lady a check-up."

She is said to be an old lady, but in fact Li Yan's mother is less than forty years old, very thin and pale.

Several doctors carrying medicine boxes were all Zhang Zhongjing's apprentices. They came to the carriage and first took their pulse, then put their stethoscopes on their backs and listened to the heart sounds.

Finally, I opened the medicine box, took out the blood pressure monitor and blood glucose meter inside, and did a series of checks.

"Blood sugar is normal, but blood pressure is extremely low, there are signs of anemia, and heart rate is disordered. It is initially determined that malnutrition causes anemia, which in turn causes symptoms of hypotension. It is necessary to increase nutrition in time."

With the help of real-world medical equipment, several joint consultation doctors quickly came to a conclusion.

When Xu Huang heard that he needed to supplement his nutrition, he immediately asked people to move a box of milk, some dried meat, eggs, compressed biscuits, etc., as well as some small snacks such as egg yolk pies and hand-torn bread to the carriage.

Li Yan and his mother thanked him repeatedly, saying that they had met a noble person.

"Zheng Fang, don't be so polite. Go to Chang'an and study hard. You are a talent from our Nanyang. When you get there, Mr. Zhongjing will re-examine your mother. Don't worry, everything will be fine."

"Thank you, governor. I am very grateful!"

Xu Huang waved to his men again, and soon, a handsome white horse was led over, and there was also a tiger-headed gun from the real world.

"The general of the cavalry is still waiting for you at Wuguan, so I won't keep you. I wish Zheng Fang a safe journey!"

Li Yan was so grateful that his eyes turned red. After thanking him again and again, he jumped on the horse and escorted the carriage to Wuguan. Behind him, there were fifty cavalrymen from the Pound faction.

After the group walked away, Xun Chen said:

"In the original novel, Li Zhengfang's character has great flaws. I just saw that he is sincere and there is nothing wrong with him. After being taught by Mr. Wenhe in the future, this pillar of talent who is both civil and military will definitely create achievements that surpass the original novel!"

Xu Huang sighed:

"You are a child of a noble family. I don't know how difficult it is for us ordinary people to stand out... As long as Li Zhengfang is not stupid, he will definitely not repeat the same mistakes!"
