For a moment, the Guan family army slowly retreated. On the way to retreat, Guan Ping led a group of soldiers and leisurely sang the Han army's military songs:

Compared to "The Horse Steps on Yan Ran", Guan Jiajun prefers to sing "The Song of the Wind":

——"The wind rises and the clouds fly!"

——"Weiga returns to our hometown in the country!"

——"How can you get a strong man to guard all directions, and how can you get a strong man to guard all directions..."

Guan Ping's heart sang a song of wind, but he changed the lyrics and sang them in his heart.

——The wind blows and clouds fly, and my brother Guan Lin conquers all directions!

For a moment, the shaking song formed an echo in the valley, and the lingering sound lingered for a long time!

However, Niu Jin, the deputy general in Cao's army, looked at the Guan family army's arrogant figure.

He asked angrily, "General? Don't you chase me?"

Cao Ren shook his head bitterly, "He dared not come to rush to the battlefield, just as I dared not step into this valley again, just save the wounded of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!"

And at this moment, the team of the wounded tiger and leopard cavalrymen.

A voice suddenly came out.

"Where is the general? Where is the general of my Tiger and Leopard Cavalry?"

He was asking Cao Chun...

Indeed, Cao Chun was not seen among the less than a thousand tiger and leopard cavalry remnants who escaped.

When he heard the soldiers calling Cao Chun, Cao Ren's originally sharp expression suddenly changed. He stepped over the wounded soldiers with great anxiety, searching and calling.

——"Where are the disciples?

…

…

Outside the window, the sound of rain is gurgling.

Guan Yu and Ma Liang listened at Zhou Cang's report intently.

Today, under the appearance of peace, Jingzhou can be described as undercurrents. The group of weapons from the hands of "Huang Lao Xie" have stirred up changes in the wind and clouds.

——"The young master of Yunqi collected a deposit of 20,000 hu of grain from the Jiangnan woman and Jiaozhou merchants, and the transaction location was set at the junction of Changsha and Jiaozhou."

——"Now that delivery is getting closer, the merchant Shi Huolong and You Tanzhi have also rushed to Changsha County. As well, the Jiangnan woman and Jiaozhou merchants have also rushed there!"

——"In addition, the prefect of Liao Li of Changsha County sent back news that a large number of merchant ships have poured into the Changsha territory recently, but they did not go to the Xiangjiang River, but they just stayed at the junction of Changsha and Jiaozhou. I think so

It's related to this batch of ordnance."

Listening to Zhou Cang’s report...

Guan Yu and Ma Liang looked at each other and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Things are actually very simple!

Guan Yu and Ma Liang can be sure that the "Huang Laoxie" who created this batch of weapons was either Zhuge Liang's father-in-law Huang Chengyan or Guan Lin himself.

Of course it is possible...it was done together by two people.

Although this has not been investigated further before, it is a foregone conclusion.

Then, the question is here.

Guan Lin promised this batch of weapons to four families at one time.

One of them can be confirmed to be a detailed work from Xiangfan...

Guan Lin’s purpose is to lure the snake out of the hole.

Moreover, Guan Ping had already secretly rushed to Jiangxia and set up an ambush in the Sunset Valley.

Then there are three left...

You should know that among these three companies, Guan Lin received a deposit of "twenty thousand hu of grain" for the two companies.

Speaking of this, Guan Yu suddenly felt that although there was not much, his son still had a little conscience, at least he confiscated the deposit from Mi Fang.

Of course, this also indirectly shows that this kid never wanted to sell this batch of weapons to him Guan Yu.

Among these two families, Zhou Cang has clearly investigated that one of them was a Jiangnan woman who was negotiating with the merchants, and the other party could judge from the accent that it was from Jiaozhou.

One is Jiangdong and the other is Jiaozhou.

As things developed to this point, Guan Yu and Ma Liang thought about it - things became more and more mysterious and interesting.

The current situation is that the deposit has been collected, and it’s time to pay the goods!

Then…

By the way, everyone involved in this incident went to Changsha, and a large number of merchant ships appeared in Changsha.

Things are no longer as simple as "interesting" when things develop to this point.

Guan Yu and Ma Liang had the same conjecture in their hearts.

Is this boy Yunqi planning to... "Two tigers compete for food"?

You know, Guan Yu hated this plan of "two tigers competing for food"!

That goes back to when he and his elder brother Liu Bei were in Xuzhou.

At that time, Cao Cao was in a hurry to visit Xuzhou, but Liu Bei and Lu Bu were stationed together, one stationed in Xiaopei and the other stationed in Xiapi.

If Cao Cao wanted to attack Lu Bu, Liu Bei would go to help. If Liu Bei attacked Liu Bei, Lu Bu would not sit idly by.

This is "the lips are gone and the teeth are cold", or it can be said to be a group to keep warm.

So, Cao Cao followed Xun Yu's plan to "two tigers compete for food" and ordered Liu Bei to be the governor of Xuzhou in the name of the emperor, and sent Liu Bei to kill Lu Bu!

If things are done, Liu Bei will lose an ally. If not, Lu Bu will definitely kill Liu Bei to vent his anger.

No matter what, Cao Cao can reap the benefits of the fisherman.

The subsequent development was indeed as Xun Yu expected. The news of this letter spread like wildfire. Lu Bu and Liu Bei had a rift and started fighting each other. Instead, it was a snipe and clam fighting each other. The fisherman gained profits, and Cao Cao made money.

!

If Guan Yu had not been in Cao's camp for more than a year, he would have accidentally heard someone mention this at a banquet, and now he is in the dark.

Of course... none of these matter.

What’s important is that because of the loss of the “two tigers competing for food” strategy, Guan Yu now subconsciously thought of this when he saw Guan Lin’s deployment!

hehe…

——『Jiaozhou?』

——『Jiangdong?』

——『Two tigers compete for food? This is... the cloud flag is profitable!』

In fact, Ma Liang thought of this, and he smiled and said, "Mr. Guan Qi has already set up a stage in Changsha, and the opera singers must be in place. I guess this drama will be very exciting, right?"

"It's... it's time for the end of this drama, someone should end!"

Ma Liang blurted out these meaningful words.

Guan Yu's heart moved, and he once again showed his decisive side.

"Transfer to Liu Pan!"

Soon, Liu Pan came and bowed to Guan Yu.

"What is General Guan's dispatch?"

"Let's go short, you immediately rushed to Changsha County and informed the prefect Liao Li to pay close attention to the borders of Changsha and Jiaozhi. An informant sent back the news that foreign merchants were going to trade another piece of goods!"

"Business transactions will inevitably lead to price differences. If you encounter an extraordinary situation, you can make a quick decision and use extraordinary means!"

When mentioning the last two "very", Guan Yu deliberately emphasized his tone.

Afterwards, Guan Yu's words became even more meticulous.

——"If someone dares to fight in Changsha, or even cause death, even if it is in the border, you and Liao Li Prefect will never tolerate it!"

Fighting, human life, tolerance...

Guan Yu chanted these six words almost twice the tone.

Liu Pan raised his eyes and faced Guan Yu's sharp and condensing gaze. He subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

I know... this job must be not simple!

Give up immediately.

"Don't worry, General Guan, the last general will definitely fulfill his mission!"
