Chapter 141 Chapter 142, Guan Feng's Growth
Lu Su died and Lu Meng succeeded him?
Hearing the news from Guan Feng, Ouyang Feng's heart was slightly moved. He recalled the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" he had read not long ago. He knew that two years later, Lu Meng would cross the river in white clothes and stab Guan Yu in the back. He said casually:
"What is the relationship between Lü Meng and Guan Gong?"
Guan Feng smiled and said:
"Lü Meng respected my father very much. As soon as he took office, he wrote a letter in his own hand and sent an envoy to visit my father to reaffirm the alliance between the two sides. He had originally agreed to come to visit in person, but he suddenly fell seriously ill before leaving and had to return to his base to recuperate. However, even when he was sick, he wrote a letter to apologize to my father personally."
Ouyang Feng nodded slightly and said calmly:
"Lü Meng is very attentive to Guan Gong, but I'm afraid he has bad intentions."
Guan Feng was surprised:
"Brother Ouyang, Jiangdong and our army are allies. Regarding the ownership of Jingzhou, the two sides successfully negotiated a peace agreement two years ago and divided their respective lands. Now Cao Cao is powerful, Liangzhou and Hanzhong have been occupied by Cao Cao. This spring, he defeated Jiangdong and broke through Juchao, forcing Sun Quan to send an envoy to surrender. Facing the pressure from Cao Cao, Jiangdong and our side are working together, so how could they not have good intentions?"
Ouyang Feng did not answer but asked:
"Did Sun Quan send an envoy to ask Guan Gong for marriage? Did he want Guan Gong to marry you to his son?"
Guan Feng rolled her beautiful phoenix eyes in displeasure and said angrily:
"My father is a general in a region, how could he become a relative of the ruler of another country? Sun Quan has bad intentions and is plotting to sow discord. This is simply going too far. My father scolded Sun Quan's envoy and drove him out."
Ouyang Feng said calmly:
"When Sun Quan was trying to sow discord between you two, you were allies, right? If so, how can we know that Lu Meng's attentiveness and respect towards Guan Gong was not another treacherous trick?"
"This……"
Guan Feng frowned slightly and said hesitantly:
"But Lu Meng treated my father so attentively and respectfully, what did he want to deceive my father about?"
Ouyang Feng said: "Who knows? Maybe, whether it is Lu Meng's repeated 'illness' or his attentiveness and respect, it is just to make Guan Gong careless and underestimate him?"
Guan Feng was thoughtful:
"Once my father underestimates Lu Meng, or even loses his vigilance against him, Lu Meng will have some... opportunities?"
Ouyang Feng nodded slightly:
"Opportunities always come to those who are prepared. As soon as Lu Meng took office, he began to make preparations and wait for the opportunity. If the opportunity did not come until he died of illness, then everything would be over. But if the opportunity came, Lu Meng, who was already prepared, would not miss it."
Guan Feng murmured:
"But where is the opportunity that Lu Meng is waiting for, and when will it appear?"
Ouyang Feng said calmly:
"Perhaps, when Guan Gong leads his troops to the north and the battle with Cao's army is in full swing, and Jiangling is empty, the opportunity will arise?"
"This……"
Guan Feng's long and beautiful eyebrows furrowed deeply:
"Father has no plans for a northern expedition in the near future, and Cao's army has not revealed any flaws..."
Ouyang Feng smiled and said, "I said that Lu Meng is just making his own preparations. As for the rest, he can only leave it to the right time. If the right time does not come, he can only wait for death in vain."
Guan Feng nodded slowly, "I understand what Brother Ouyang meant. I will tell father when I get back."
Ouyang Feng said, "I would say it. But considering your father's temper, I'm afraid he may not believe you. In my opinion, you should go back and ask your father for a guard team and train them yourself. When your father leads his troops to war in the future, you can lead the guard team to patrol Jiangling. Perhaps you can accomplish extraordinary feats and even avert a disaster."
The key to Lu Meng's successful stab in the back was not the success of the "white-clothed crossing the river" scam, but the easy capture of Guan Yu's base, Jiangling City, and the control of all of Guan Yu's military families in his hands, so that the fighting spirit of Guan Yu's soldiers collapsed and the soldiers were defeated.
After years of management by Guan Yu, Jiangling City was actually a fortified city with extremely strong defenses. If the defender had some fighting spirit, it would have been impossible for Lu Meng to capture Jiangling before Guan Yu returned.
As long as they can hold out until Guan Yu returns, Lu Meng will have no choice but to withdraw his troops.
Unfortunately, Mi Fang, who was guarding Jiangling, surrendered...
However, at that time, Mi Fang was the only one who was determined to surrender, and the other generals in the city did not conspire with Mi Fang.
Mi Fang was able to successfully open the city and let Lü Meng's army enter the city, probably because of his status. He said he wanted to open the city, so who among the lower-ranking officers and ordinary soldiers dared to question him?
In short, even if Guan Yu failed in the Northern Expedition, as long as Jiangling City, his base camp, was not lost, he would never end up in the situation of being defeated and fleeing to Maicheng.
It will take Ouyang Feng two years to arrive in the Three Kingdoms.
At that time, it seemed that a series of major events took place, including Guan Yu's Northern Expedition, his fear of China, Lu Meng's crossing of the river, and Guan Yu's defeat.
If the time of arrival is unfortunate, Jiangling has fallen into the hands of Lu Meng's army, and Guan Yu has already been defeated and fled to Maicheng. Then even if Ouyang Feng's martial arts skills have greatly improved after two years, in this world of Fengyun where the destructive power of masters is exaggerated, on a battlefield where masters gather, he probably won't be able to change anything by his own strength.
Therefore, some preparations must be made in advance.
"I have a technique here. It's not a top-notch technique, but it has one advantage. It increases strength and is easy to practice in the early stages. You can teach it to your loyal followers step by step."
Having decided to intervene, Ouyang Feng simply did it more thoroughly and passed the first six levels of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra to Guan Feng.
Only the first six levels are enough. In just two years, no one can reach the sixth level.
After teaching the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra, Ouyang Feng thought about it and decided to teach the "Yi Jin Tang Gu Pian" to Guan Feng as well.
The three quick-learning soldier combat skills of "one spear to break rocks, five swords to cut iron, and iron armor" were also passed on to Guan Feng.
The self-development techniques like "Dragon Elephant Prajna Kungfu" and "Yijinduan Pian" would not become garbage in the Fengyun World just because they were techniques from the low-level martial arts world. After all, the warriors in the Fengyun World also cultivated their physical bodies and meridian internal strength.
As for the three combat skills, they were carefully deduced by Ouyang Feng and Lin Chaoying with their profound martial arts background. The masters of the Fengyun world may disdain them, but they should still be very useful to ordinary soldiers.
With Guan Feng's talent and understanding, she understood the merits of these techniques after a brief study. Her pretty face flushed with excitement, and she looked at Ouyang Feng without blinking her almond-shaped eyes, and said:
"Brother Ouyang, why are you so nice to me?"
I'm not doing this for your good...
Scenes from the Three Kingdoms in his previous life flashed through Ouyang Feng’s mind.
The Peach Garden Oath of Brotherhood does not ask to be born on the same day of the same month of the same year, but hopes to die on the same day of the same month of the same year, and also says “I too”!
The former knight-errant of Zhuo County had been displaced for half his life, and had been defeated repeatedly in battles, but he never gave up and his will never changed. The fugitives and irritable butchers of Jie County who followed him also could not break their will under the rain of arrows, and could not change their integrity under the glory and wealth, and they were determined to follow him until death...
More and more people are joining.
My career gradually improved.
Finally, the ranger fulfilled his lofty ambition and ascended the throne of the emperor. But when the bad news of his brother came, the emperor turned back into the old ranger who didn't want to hear about the overall situation and only wanted to have his thoughts understood and to verify the oath of Peach Garden.
The consequences of this gamble were disastrous. The backbone of Shu Han was cut off from then on. The burden of reviving the Han Dynasty fell on the shoulders of a man who knew that his destiny was difficult but insisted on going against it.
All the scenes finally freeze on the man’s words under the sunset: “Oh, vast sky, how unkind to me?”
After recalling for a while, Ouyang Feng smiled at Guan Feng, whose bright eyes were wide open, and said:
"There's no particular reason. It's just... I do whatever I want to do."
"Ah?" Guan Feng was slightly startled: "Just because you want to do it, do it?"
Ouyang Feng nodded leisurely:
"of course."
"Hmph!" Guan Feng snorted, curled her lips in dissatisfaction, and called sweetly, "Brother Ouyang."
"What?" "Look at the knife!"
Sa!
A flash of green light appeared, and the wind of the knife suddenly rose...
……
Twelve hours later.
Ouyang Feng and Guan Feng return to their respective worlds.
Guan Feng had already learned the "Qi Sensing". Although she did not have as strong and sharp spiritual perception as Ouyang Feng, her reaction speed had become faster. She also learned a lot of Ouyang Feng's swordsmanship essence in repeated life-and-death battles. Now her swordsmanship has leaped to a higher level compared to when they first met.
Unfortunately, despite her great progress, she was still killed by Ouyang Feng in various ways, and her "Zhanfeng Blade" never hit Ouyang Feng once.
The girl was not discouraged. After each defeat, she would calm herself down and seriously review the game with Ouyang Feng, listening to him point out the shortcomings in her swordsmanship. She would do her best to make her swordsmanship more powerful and perfect.
And Ouyang Feng also got a glimpse of some of the essence of Guan Gong's swordsmanship during his repeated fights with Guan Feng - of course, the swordsmanship of Guan Yu that Guan Feng practiced was probably far from Guan Yu's real skills.
But this is enough for Ouyang Feng to draw nourishment from it and continuously improve his swordsmanship.
After all, Guan Feng also learned new skills from her father every month, and her new skills naturally became nutrition for Ouyang Feng to improve his swordsmanship.
At the top of Huashan Chaoyang Peak, next to the altar.
Ouyang Feng pondered and sorted out what he had gained today, then took out a copy of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" from the storage talisman and started reading.
While reading a book.
Lin Chaoying came gracefully carrying a bamboo basket.
"What are you looking at?"
Lin Chaoying asked as she took out scallion pancakes, Dongpo pork, grilled lamb chops, fresh fish soup and other delicacies from the bamboo basket.
"Three Kingdoms."
Ouyang Feng put away the book and asked Lin Chaoying with a smile:
"How is the pharmacist's retreat going?"
"He has not come out of retreat yet. But his aura is becoming more and more vigorous. If this continues, I feel that the floor of his retreat room will sprout new buds."
"Not really. The innate true qi alone cannot do this. However, when the wood element's essence enters the Dao, the vitality of the innate true qi will indeed be exceptionally strong."
As he spoke, Ouyang Feng took the egg and scallion pancake handed to him by Lin Chaoying, which was already filled with Dongpo pork, grilled lamb chops, pickled cucumbers, fried bean sprouts and other side dishes, and took a big bite.
After taking a big bite, he ate the cake in small bites and asked:
"Sister Lin, tell me, if Guan Yu hadn't died in Maicheng, how would history have developed?"
"Guan Yu is not dead?"
Lin Chaoying thought for a moment and said:
"Then Zhang Fei would not have died, and Liu Bei would not have launched an attack on Wu, sacrificing the elite troops and a large number of core civil and military personnel he had accumulated over the years. Zhuge Liang would not have had such a hard time in the future, right?"
Ouyang Feng asked: "Sister Lin, do you think there is hope for the unification of Ji Han?"
"I can't guess that!" Lin Chaoying smiled sweetly, and suddenly said thoughtfully: "You haven't found another alien world that is still in the Three Kingdoms era, have you?"
"Sister Lin is really..."
Ouyang Feng smiled helplessly, "I have indeed found such a world, and I am thinking about how to help Guan Yu turn the tide. At least save Jiangling City and his life."
"This shouldn't be difficult, right?" Lin Chaoying said with a smile, "As long as we prevent Mi Fang from surrendering, with Jiangling's defenses, Lu Meng won't be able to capture Jiangling before Guan Yu returns. And if Jiangling doesn't fall, Guan Yu's army won't lose its will to fight, and at least they can drive Lu Meng's army away."
If this were a normal world, this would naturally not be difficult.
But the Three Kingdoms of the Fengyun World...
Well, the Three Kingdoms in the Fengyun world is not that special, and it is impossible for a general to capture a fortified city by himself.
Otherwise, Guan Yu would not have launched a massive attack to split the city, but ended up shocking himself with Qingcheng's sword move, and he never used that sword move again in his life.
So maybe it’s not that hard after all?
……
The world of storm.
Guan Feng also recalled and sorted out what he had learned today, and went through the five martial arts, namely, Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra, Yi Jin Bones and Muscle Strengthening Chapter, Rock Shattering Gun, Five Iron Cutting Swords, and Iron Armor, in his mind carefully. After confirming that there was no omission in his memory, he walked towards his father's study.
"Father, your daughter wants to see you."
"Come in."
"Meet my father."
"Today is a day off, no need to be polite. What do you want to see me for?"
"Father, I would like to ask you to assign a group of guards to me."
"You? Leading troops? You're not even fourteen yet, what kind of troops are you leading?"
"Although my daughter is less than fourteen, her swordsmanship has surpassed that of my two brothers in the past six months. In a duel, they are no match for me. My two brothers can lead the army, so why can't my daughter?"
"Your two brothers are just giving in to you. They have experienced life-and-death battles. Their swords are not the same as yours..."
"Father, you underestimate your daughter! Feng'er has surpassed her brothers with real ability. If you don't believe me, you can personally host a competition and see how my swordsmanship compares to my two brothers. If I win, please give me two hundred family generals to lead."
"What if we lose?"
"My daughter will never mention this matter again."
"Okay. Since today is a day off, you can have some fun..."
……
Time flies, and another half a month has passed in the main world.
That night, Ouyang Feng finished his prayers for the day and was about to sit in meditation to refine his Qi when the Tongtian Treasure Mirror in his sea of consciousness suddenly lit up and a message came. It turned out that it was Shan Wanjing who was summoning him with the "Tongtian Spirit Seed".
Shan Wanjing is very sensible. She doesn't want to disturb him, so no matter how much she misses him, she won't actively call him. She just waits for him to come every month. She suddenly called him today, so it must be something important.
At that moment, Ouyang Feng's mind moved and he landed on the Ryukyu Island.
