Chapter 8: The Xiang River Demarcation

In the morning light, thin sun shadows were cast into the yard, and Guan Yu's five children gathered together, but when they counted carefully, it seemed that there were only four people present, and one less.

Guan Yu naturally noticed it.

Among the sons in front of me, from left to right, are the eldest son Guan Ping, the second son Guan Xing, the third daughter Guan Yan (named Yinping), and the fifth son Guan Suo. Who else can be missing besides the fourth son Guan Lin?

Guan Yu's expression did not change, but his eyes lowered a little.

Just like, because Guan Lin did not appear, he felt a little angry.

Speaking of which, Guan Yu is definitely not a kind father, he has always been strict with his children.

Because of his martial arts, he was more focused on martial arts, but this never meant that Guan Yu would relax his children's "literary talent".

Different from martial arts, Guan Yu sent his sword-holding general Zhou Cang to them as a martial artist.

In terms of literary talent, the master Guan Yu selected for them was the prominent family in Jingzhou, Liao Hua's father, Liao Jiugong.

According to legend, even when Zhuge was living in seclusion in Nanyang, he came to Liao Jiugong to ask about the way to govern the country.

It can be said that since a long time ago, Guan Yu has high hopes for these children.

Among these five children, Guan Ping, the oldest, is already thirty-five years old. After following him for many years, Guan Suo, the youngest, is only thirteen years old.

Different from the interpretation, Guan Ping is always written as Guan Yu's adopted son.

Guan Ping in history was Guan Yu's biological child, but his mother was not Mrs. Hu, she was a mystery!

Of course, because Guan Ping was raised by Guan Yu himself, overall, he was quite satisfied and hoped that the other three sons and one daughter would be as outstanding as Guan Ping.

But... it seems that there is a trend that has become "ripped"!

"Where is Lin'er?"

Guan Yu asked with a stern face.

Zhou Cang, who was standing aside, quickly accused him of guilt and said, "The general has sent someone to urge him, and the fourth young master will arrive soon."

The fourth young master Guan Lin…

Haha, Guan Yu sneered in his heart and said to himself: "This is what you call 'Learning Martial Arts Can't Save the Great Man'?"

Can you be late for such a serious teaching exam? With you, can you save the man?

Guan Yu sat silently on Hu's bench.

The expressions of the children were different. For example, Guan Suo, he was worried for the fourth brother! He even regretted that he shouldn't have gone to find the fourth brother late at night...

On weekdays, the fourth brother couldn’t get up early, let alone chatting for half a night last night. Now... he is still sleeping heavily in the bed!

Guan Xing and Guan Yinping had a silent expression, as if they were not concerned about their own affairs.

The two of them have always been indifferent to trivial matters, but "martial arts" can make them persistent!

However, Guan Ping had the tightest eyebrows. Over the years... his father was strict. Many times, as the elder brother, he had to show his "love" side and care more about these younger brothers and sisters.

Chacha, because of yesterday's incident, my fourth brother had already angered my father, and today... I am late again...

Guan Ping couldn't help but fall into great concern for his fourth brother Guan Lin.

After about a cup of tea...

Guan Lin was late, and his behavior was a bit lazy and sleepy. He was used to sleeping until he woke up naturally. If the guards hadn't called him, he would still be in a beautiful dream now!

However, seeing Guan Yu, Guan Lin seemed to have a little more energy.

Having said that, this is the first time he has seen Guan Yu.

——Guan Gong, alive!

It seems...the majesty and burly level are far inferior to the statue of Guan Gong that is more than nine meters tall and weighs more than two tons in Xiangyang City.

Also, that iconic cuckold always makes Guan Lin think of it.

This image is so green.

Looking at Guan Lin's expression, Guan Yu could naturally guess that he must have been shouted out of the quilt by the guards.

hehe…

Guan Yu sneered in his heart. Perhaps there are still doubts about whether learning martial arts can save the man? But learning martial arts can at least help him develop a good habit of going to bed early and getting up early!

--"snort!"

He snorted coldly in his heart, but Guan Yu would not show such trivial matters on his face. He raised his hand slightly and signaled Guan Lin to come in.

Guan Lin scratched his head and knelt in front of his desk.

I told me yesterday... I took the exam in the morning with "literature"!

There was a bamboo slip on the table in front of the four sons and one daughter, which contained the contents of the exam.

The questions for the exam were given by Liao Jiugong. They are all things that have happened recently or are happening, and are considered as practice.

The first is a choice question.

The background is that Liu Bei, the left general of Han, once borrowed Jingzhou from Jiangdong. After entering Shu, Jiangdong sent an envoy Zhuge Jin to Bashu to challenge Liu Bei to return to Jingzhou.

Liu Bei's answer was "I am planning to Liangzhou, and Liangzhou is settled, so I will give you Jingzhou to you." This means that after taking Liangzhou, I will return to Jingzhou;

Zhuge Jin was unhappy and went to ask Zhuge Liang again. Zhuge Liang proposed a compromise method, using the "Xiang River as the boundary", the Nanjun, Wuling and Lingling belonging to Liu Bei, and Jiangxia, Changsha and Guiyang belonging to Sun Quan, near Jiangdong.

This is the famous "Xiang River Demarcation" in history...

After receiving such an answer, Zhuge Jin returned home with satisfaction.

But here's the problem.

This matter was decided by Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jin. Liu Bei did not make any statement, and Guan Yu, who was stationed in Jingzhou, did not receive any letters about delivering to the three counties of "Jiangxia, Changsha and Guiyang".

So the question is, should Guan Gong hand over these three counties or not?

This question is very good, even the question setter Liao Jiugong did not have the correct answer, but this question is the best way to test students' judgment of the current situation and control of the situation.

When Guan Yu saw this question early in the morning, he nodded repeatedly and was very satisfied.

The second question is more direct. Cao's army and Jiangdong army have been confronting Hefei for a long time.

Recently, Sun Quan mobilized troops and generals such as Lu Meng, Chen Wu, Gan Ning, Ling Tong, Pan Zhang, Song Qian, Xu Sheng, Ding Feng, Jiang Qin, He Qi, etc., and even assembled a large army of 100,000 to command the army and launched the most fierce attack on Hefei.

In this battle in Hefei, who wins and who loses?

Where will Jingzhou go?

If the first question tests the situation, the situation is analytical and judging;

Then the second question tests the deduction of the battlefield, which is the prediction of the commander-in-chief!

Guan Yu raised his hand slightly, and the four sons and one daughter began to answer. Even Guan Lin, who had just woken up, was seriously energetic and his pen was like a dragon and snake.

This made Guan Yu feel a little more relieved.

It seems... I don't know when this outrageous thought will appear in Guan Yu's mind.

As long as Guan Lin does not hand in the blank paper, Guan Yu should be "comfortable"!

And at this moment... a small school walked in quickly, whispering something in Zhou Cang's ear.

Zhou Cang was stunned and quickly lowered his head and put his mouth close to Guan Yu's ear.

It turned out that the Jiangdong envoy Zhuge Jin came to fulfill the agreement between Jiangdong and Zhuge Liang and take back the three counties of Jiangxia, Changsha and Guiyang.

It can be seen from the naked eye that Guan Yu's face suddenly condensed.

He suddenly stood up, first looked around his sons who were still answering the questions, and then his eyes opened and the domineering words came out of his mouth, "Can Guan go and meet him!"

After saying that, Guan Yu walked out of the main hall and left a group of guards to stare at the children.

On the other side, Zhuge Jin was waiting in the pavilion behind the corridor outside the main hall.

Seeing Guan Yu, he hurriedly bowed and said, "General Guan, I am ordered to take back the three counties of Jiangxia, Changsha and Guiyang, and I hope General Guan..."

Before he could finish his words...

When Zhuge Jin saw Guan Yu take the big knife from Zhou Cang's hand, he actually raised it.

Now, Zhuge Jin was frightened silly.

What does this mean?

When the two armies are fighting, they will not kill the envoys, let alone the Sun-Liu alliance, they are allies!

But I could hear Guan Yu's proud and cold voice.

"Where are the corrupt scholars who come from here to confuse the public?"

"General Guan is ordered... to be ordered..."

"After orders? Whose orders are you? My elder brother has ever been ordered?" Guan Yu's eyes released a more terrifying splendor. "Does you, a corrupt scholar, think that Guan will be ordered by the 'Blue-eyed one'?"

"Hahahahahahaha!"
