——"General Zixiao, this batch of ordnance is so... that it's a sure thing, right?"

…

…

The sun was scorching, and the spears, swords and halberds reflected the cold light under the sun. The bright and neat armor showed the majesty of the Guan family army.

On this rare day, Guan Lin appeared at the military camp of Yamen General Guan Ping.

As the Yamen general who commands five thousand troops.

Guan Ping was very busy during the day, training his troops and formations.

But... when he heard that it was his fourth brother who was asking for a meeting, he immediately rushed back to the tent without thinking.

"What kind of wind brings fourth brother here..." Guan Ping looked quite enthusiastic and ordered the guards to prepare tea with a smile.

Guan Lin said no, and he said straight to the point: "I have a huge contribution here. I came here specifically to ask my eldest brother, do you want it or not?"

ah…

Guan Lin's words stunned Guan Ping.

"Aren't my fourth brother and my father purchasing ordnance? Why...are they getting more credit? What kind of credit?"

Guan Ping felt a little confused.

This is a completely different matter. Where does the credit come from?

Guan Lin, on the other hand, turned around and looked far away, looking toward the northeast under the scorching sun.

That is the direction of Jiangxia City!

That is the direction where the territories of Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan are connected!

It is also the best place for arms dealers to hide their weapons.

No matter which party the ordnance is sold to, it can be traded immediately due to its geographical location!

"Fourth brother...Fourth brother..."

Seeing Guan Lin stunned, Guan Ping quickly waved his hand in front of Guan Lin's eyes.

His sight was blocked, and Guan Lin came back to his senses. He said slowly: "Brother, I can tell you some truths, but I must not tell your father, let alone others!"

ah…

I felt that Guan Lin's tone suddenly became meticulous, and it didn't sound like he was joking.

Guan Ping was slightly moved.

"Fourth brother said it bluntly...I promise you!"

Look at Guan Ping's vow.

Guan Lin raised his head slightly, as if he was looking through... the already desolate woods, staring at the blue sky.

After a long time, he slowly returned his gaze and focused on Guan Ping.

"Brother, the truth behind everything is... those weapons were originally mine, and Shi Huolong and You Tanzhi were also mine! All of this was a scheme from the beginning!"

…

…

Guan Ping is an obedient child.

To be precise, Guan Ping is a good boy who listens to his father. This boy...has never lied since he was a child.

This is not…

He just promised Guan Lin not to tell anyone the truth, especially his father!

On the back foot, Guan Ping came to Guan Yu's study and saluted him respectfully.

At this time, Guan Yu was discussing with Ma Liang.

Because of this incident, they specially sent people to secretly follow and investigate...

According to recent intelligence, this merchant selling arms has collected deposits from three companies in total...

Except for the known Mi Fang, the background and identity of the other two families are unknown.

certainly…

Guan Yu still had a feeling.

Has Yun Qi gone too far...

There is no reason to sell a batch of goods to three families. Is he crazy about money?

Ma Liang continued to persuade, "Master Yunqi's work... has always been unique and confusing, but... there is the examination answer sheet in front of him, the Hefei battlefield in the back, and the pearls and jade in front... This matter, we might as well wait a little longer! Maybe it will be very soon.

Will there be a surprise and a turning point soon?"

surprise?

Haha... Guan Yu just said "haha"!

Don't think about it, Guan Lin gave him a surprise, it was still... "surprise".

As for...wait.

Why doesn't Guan Yu want to wait?

However, what he is more interested in is that when this batch of ordnance is delivered... is it possible for Yun Qi to be able to conjure three parts like a magic trick?

certainly…

With the appearance of Guan Ping, these questions that troubled Guan Yu and Ma Liang were all resolved in a matter of seconds.

Instead, the two of them were hugely surprised.

"You mean... Yun Qi confessed to you that this batch of ordnance belongs to him, and that the whole incident itself was a trap set up by him?"

"yes!"

Faced with Guan Yu's question, Guan Ping answered truthfully. "The fourth brother also told the location of a valley. He said he had a way to... lure Cao's army into the valley and let... let the boy lead his troops to ambush! He said this was...

This is a great achievement.”

"Gudong..."

Guan Yu and Ma Liang swallowed subconsciously.

In an instant, all the doubts about this matter seemed to be solved.

Merchants, ordnance, high-profile displays, quotations, looting...

And then…

Although the whole thing is still shrouded in mist...

But Guan Ping's sentence has undoubtedly... cleared up a lot of clues for the two of them, and even connected a series of things together.

Ma Liang seemed to have realized it first, and he quickly reminded him: "Guan Gong, such a layout is in line with the consistent style of the four young masters... show weakness while being strong, show cowardice while being brave, show falsehood with trueness... As the saying goes, managing chaos is a matter of numbers;

Bravery and timidity refer to power; strength and weakness refer to form..."

Before Ma Liang could recite these words from "Sun Tzu's Art of War", Guan Yu interrupted directly.

He looked up and said with emotion: "Therefore, if you are good at moving the enemy, if you shape it, the enemy will follow it; if you give it, the enemy will take it; if you move it with advantage, you will treat it with death."

Speaking of which…

Guan Yu's hands stroking his beard trembled slightly.

He also figured it out...

Why is Guan Lin both a buyer and a seller? Haha, he never planned to sell this batch of ordnance!

He is doing it to show others...

He is seducing others...

He wants to force all the enemies in the dark to surface!

Ma Liang was still explaining: "The Fourth Young Master is disguised as 'arms' this time. Doesn't this mean 'the enemy will follow the form!'"

"To confuse the enemy with false appearances and 'tempt' the enemy with the competition among all forces, isn't this the same as 'give it to the enemy and the enemy will take it!'"

"But now...the enemy has entered the situation, Master Yunqi asked the eldest son to go to Jiangxia to set up an ambush. The next thing to do is to 'move it with advantage and treat it with death'"

"The purpose of the Fourth Young Master is to 'wait for the enemy with heavy troops', and then..."

Speaking of this, Guan Yu could no longer suppress the excitement and excitement in his heart. He said directly: "Yun Qi is waiting for an opportunity to annihilate the enemy!"

Got it...

Now, Ma Liang understood everything, and so did Guan Yu.

In his previous conversation with Ma Liang, he also threatened...to understand this insight in "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu!

But now, Guan Yu realized that he was like a caterpillar!
