Chapter 257 Lao Zhu: Brother, can you save Guan Yunchang first?

The world is invincible, but what about heaven? !

Hear the words.

Kong Ming couldn't help but complain in his heart. In the past year or so, as the Shuhan Group has developed too fast and expanded too widely, the confidence of everyone in Shuhan, from the chairman to the grassroots employees, has obviously increased at a speed visible to the naked eye. expanded.

Theoretically speaking, self-confidence is a good thing. Only by self-confidence can we become stronger and bigger and create greater glory.

However, it is not a good thing if overconfidence turns into carelessness.

Carelessness will lead to failure.

At this moment, Zhuge Liang had an inexplicable premonition that something was going to happen.

At this moment, in front of the altar, Ji Boying and Lao Zhu stood side by side, looking at Liu Xuande, whose face was filled with confidence and who was at the peak of his life's strength.

"Liu Xuande was true to his benevolence and righteousness, and he never forgot the people in times of life and death. However, during his life as a soldier, he carelessly violated a military taboo in his later years."

Lao Zhu sighed, obviously feeling sorry that the Shu Han could not be unified.

Before the Southern Song Dynasty, the imperial inheritance was based on the Wei Dynasty, because the unified Jin Dynasty accepted the abdication of Cao Wei in name. During the Southern Song Dynasty, for some political reasons, they began to correct the Shu Han in terms of public opinion and consciousness.

By the time it was passed down to the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, it was already the right path to praise Shu Han.

The voice of scolding Cao became a common practice.

The taboo of military strategists mentioned by Lao Zhu was the Battle of Yiling launched by the Shu Han Dynasty against Soochow. Emperor Zhaolie Liu Beizhi personally led the battle. This battle put the entire Shu region's decades of accumulated energy on the line. transport.

Liu Xuande bravely led more than 100,000 people out of Sichuan, but ended up in failure after burning the camp for 800 miles.

However, the big taboo in his later years mentioned by Lao Zhu does not refer to Liu Bei's initiation of this battle, but to the process of the Battle of Yiling, especially the way Liu Bei stationed his army in the mountains and forests.

Regarding the Battle of Yiling itself, later generations believed that Liu Bei was angry and wanted to avenge Guan Yu's blood.

In fact, it is not the case.

In other words, that's not all the reason.

The reason why Liu Bei devoted all his country's strength to launch the Battle of Yiling was mainly because Liu Bei was old. He wanted to take back Jingzhou while he was still alive, so that even if future generations of kings could not take over the world, they could still make it possible for future generations to conquer the country. Keep the foundation.

Unfortunately, after this fight, the motorcycle did not turn into four wheels, but turned back into a bicycle.

"Brother, tell me, if Guan Yu had not lost Jingzhou carelessly, and Liu Xuande had not lost the burning camp in the Battle of Yiling, and the Shu Han people were full of talents, sitting in Jingxiang, Bashu, and could advance and attack, retreat and defend, could they have finally unified the world? It continues the great Han Dynasty for four hundred years."

I heard Lao Zhu's question.

Ji Boying did not directly answer this question, but there was no way to answer anything that was only possible.

In fact, looking at the power of the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu at the end of the Han Dynasty, apart from the fact that Soochow was due to the upper limit of the foundation and the leaders of Jiangdong had always stuck to the idea of ​​being content with their family fortunes, Cao Wei and Shu Han actually had a unified Opportunities in the world.

For example, Cao Wei, if Zhou Gongjin had not directed the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao's march south would not have been hindered, and there would be no three-point world in the future.

It's a pity that history is always without ifs.

Unless, of course, you know a jerk named Ji Boying.

"I don't know, give it a try and save Guan Yunchang's life first."

The words fell.

Lao Zhu standing next to him looked startled.

"Brother, can you really save Guan Yunchang's life?"

Although Lao Zhu did not have a very high opinion of Guan Yu, when Chang Yuchun attacked Hangzhou, Lao Zhu specially called Chang Yuchun over and repeatedly warned him, using the negative teaching material of Guan Yu's careless loss of Jingzhou. .

The original words are as follows: Courage is the key to defeating the enemy, and planning is the key to complete victory. In the past, Guan Yu's name was used to defeat thousands of enemies, but it was defeated by Lu Meng. This was because he had no plan, so you should be careful about it.

but.

Since the end of the Han Dynasty, especially since Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty, I don't know what went wrong with Brother Beishou, and he suddenly pursued Guan Yu.

After he started his career, Guan Erye's promotion path soared, and he was continuously granted titles by emperors of all dynasties. During the Northern Song Dynasty, he was granted the title of Lord Zhonghui to King Yiyong Wu'an, and in the Southern Song Dynasty he was granted the title Zhuangmiao Yiyong Wu'an Yingji. In the Yuan Dynasty, he was named the Great General of Qitian Protector and the True Protector of Chongning. In the Ming Dynasty, the Jiajing Immortal even gave Guan Erye a divine title: the Great Demon-Suppressing Emperor of the Three Realms, Shenwei Yuanzhen Tianzun, Guan Shengdijun.

After entering the braided dynasty, Guan Erye became more and more powerful, and he became the emperor directly. He was regarded as the "Martial Saint" by Yongzheng, and his final title was fixed at "Loyalty, righteousness, martial spirit, benevolence, bravery, power, protection of the country, protection of the people, sincerity and appeasement" "Yi praises Xuande Guan Sheng the Great".

Lao Zhu still has some respect for Guan Yunchang.

"Um."

Ji Boying nodded slightly.

He also wanted to take a look, if Guan Yunchang was still alive, what would be the direction of Shu-Han in the Three Kingdoms, and what would be the final outcome of the dispute between Shu-Han and Cao Wei.

In the end, will it be like the original history, where the three families were beaten into pieces, and finally Sima stole the family home?

Anyway, the dog system does not restrict itself from changing non-Ming time and space. It can do whatever it wants. Even if something goes wrong, just pat your butt and leave. This is just like going to the island country to exercise in the light area. It is not illegal.

At this time.

After Liu Xuande and Zhuge Kongming privately exchanged a few words about Jingzhou's military affairs, perhaps feeling that the wind blowing had become smaller, Liu Bei once again climbed onto the altar and began to burn incense to worship heaven.

"It's on fire!"

"The King of Hanzhong is on fire!"

Fa Zheng stood beside him, and when he saw the incense burning in Liu Bei's hand, he shouted excitedly.

Seeing this, Kong Ming looked away slightly.

Fa Zheng was so excited that he knew that the fragrance was burning, but those who didn't knew thought that the King of Hanzhong was burning.

At this moment, Liu Bei's face suddenly became solemn as the incense burned in his hands, he looked towards the altar of heaven and spoke solemnly.

"My lord, Liu Bei, the clan member of the Han Dynasty, worships the heaven!"

"May the heaven bless me, enable me to clear out the bandits, restore the Han Dynasty, and help my holy king to revitalize the imperial court!"

The words fell.

Liu Xuande bowed down and offered incense.

When he raised his head again, his pupils shrank sharply, and he subconsciously took a few steps back.

As far as the eye could see at this moment, there were two people standing three feet above the altar.

Not only Liu Bei, but also Zhuge Kongming, Fazheng, Zhao Zilong and other Shu Han civil and military officials behind him all had their pupils shrinking sharply. Zhao Zilong reacted very quickly, stepped forward quickly, and blocked Liu Bei with his own body.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhao Zilong often led the army and defeated the enemy thousands of miles away. In fact, after Zhao Zilong followed Boss Liu, especially after taking a long bereavement leave in the middle, he has been serving as the security commander since his return. He is Uncle Liu Huang's personal bodyguard captain.

"Zilong retreats."

Liu Xuande's expression quickly calmed down, thinking that he, Liu Xuande, had been in the world for decades and had never seen any ups and downs, so he still had this bit of determination.

Take a deep breath, bow, and salute.

"Liu Bei, meet the immortal!"

How can any mortal in this world be able to step into the sky?

Must be an immortal!

Zhuge Kongming looked at the man flying in the air and was stunned for a moment. He also followed Boss Liu to salute. Needless to say, the others all lowered their hands to pay respects to the immortal, and their hearts were shocked.

They really didn't expect that the Lord's sacrifice to heaven would actually invite the immortal down!

On the altar.

Ji Boying put his hands behind his waist and looked down at the Shu Han people who were saluting him.

"There is no need to set up an altar to worship heaven in the future."

"When the time is right, I will call you."

Leave a paragraph.

Uh-huh.

The two figures above the altar suddenly disappeared.

Coming without a trace and leaving without a trace, this is not the method of an immortal, what else can it be? !

"Did the military advisor hear what the Immortal just said?"

After Liu Bei reacted, he turned around and grabbed Kong Ming's hand. There was uncontrollable excitement in his eyes. It was like going to a temple to worship a Bodhisattva for decades and finally seeing a living one.

Before Kong Ming could speak, Fazheng on the side had already spoken first.

"Congratulations to the King of Hanzhong. Congratulations to the King of Hanzhong. Your Majesty has regained the heart of the Han Dynasty. I am grateful to the heavens. I have been summoned by the Immortal to grant me the Dharma. With the Immortal's protection, the Great Han Dynasty will be restored!"

Having such a capable and intelligent licking dog always by his boss's side really makes Kong Ming feel distressed.

Of course, this is definitely not jealousy, Brother Liang just feels a little annoyed.

at the same time.

Jiangdong, Jianye.

Cao Wei, Yecheng.

Sun Shiwan and Boss Cao, who were also worshiping heaven, found that the incense in their hands that could not be burned was lit.

And at the moment when the incense burns.

In their ears, there was an identical voice. Since Jiutian fell, they were both shocked for a long time. After reacting, they were both amazed that there really are immortals in the world.

They are all waiting for the right time as the immortal said.

………………………

In the same time and space of the Three Kingdoms.

Outside Fancheng.

At a glance, there is a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​bones.

This place has just experienced a wave of siege, and the battlefield is currently being cleaned.

In the rear, smoke rose from the continuous besieged Jingzhou military camp.

After all, you also need to eat when fighting. People are like iron rice and steel. If you don't eat a meal, you will feel hungry, especially in siege warfare, a high-intensity job that consumes both time and energy.

The Chinese military tent.

Open the military tent.

The first person to step in was nine feet long, with a beard two feet long, a face as heavy as jujubes, lips as greased, red phoenix eyes, eyebrows lying on silkworms, a dignified appearance, majestic, and at first glance he was Guan Erye (described in a novel).

Next to Guan Yu, followed closely by a young general in his thirties, who was Guan Ping, the adopted son of Guan Yunchang.

"Father, Fancheng cannot be attacked for a long time, and the morale of the soldiers has been seriously damaged. We might as well retreat to Jiangling first, consolidate our forces, and then attack again."

Guan Ping frowned. Jingzhou is the place of the Four Wars. If you are not careful, you can easily be attacked by Cao Wei and Soochow. It is really not suitable to get too entangled.

"No."

Guan Yu waved his hand.

"Sun Quan doesn't know people well, and is far inferior to his father and brother. Zhou Yu and Lu Su can both be regarded as outstanding figures in the world, and Lu Meng can barely be regarded as a talent. But this Lu Xun is just a yellow-mouthed kid from a Jiangdong family. It is really ridiculous to be awarded the title of Governor of Jiangdong by Sun Quan Tiyue."

"However, this is also a great opportunity for us. It is precisely because Jiangdong's military and political affairs are so weak that we can mobilize our troops for the northern expedition and take advantage of the situation to capture Fancheng. I would like to present Fancheng as a congratulatory gift to the King of Hanzhong."

At this point, Guan Yu frowned slightly.

In the last two months, he flooded seven armies and captured them in the ban. His reputation shocked China. Now, of course, he must take Fancheng in one fell swoop while his majesty is still intact.

However, although he was proud of the world in his heart, Guan Erye still had basic military knowledge.

At present, Fancheng has been besieged for a long time, and there is no food in the city, but Cao Ren still holds on.

The reason why Cao Ren was so confident and determined to defend was that he was determined that Cao Cao would definitely come to rescue him. If Cao Wei's reinforcements arrived, it would be difficult to capture Fancheng.

"Ping'er, please quickly send an order to the three armies to continue attacking the city immediately after the meal. We will not give Cao Ren the slightest chance to breathe. We must capture Fancheng within seven days!"

"yes!"

Guan Ping accepted the order and immediately turned around to leave.

As soon as he turned around, his steps paused slightly, and after a moment of hesitation, he continued.

"Father, food has been put on top of your handsome case, you still have to eat some."

Because Fancheng has been unable to be captured for a long time, every day it drags on, there are more variables. As a result, Guan Erye has not had a good appetite recently, and he always eats one meal but not the next.

"Um."

Guan Yu nodded slightly and waved his hand.

immediately.

I habitually took out the "Zuo Zhuan" from my waist, put one hand behind my waist, and held the "Zuo Zhuan" in the other hand. I walked back and forth in the tent and read it carefully.

Er Ye tells us through his actions that reading ten thousand books is not as good as reading one book.

When Guan Yu walked up to the handsome case, he suddenly remembered Guan Ping's words just now and sat down cross-legged.

Chunqiu had just put down his hand and was about to grab a few mouthfuls of food when he suddenly frowned and his eyes focused on this handsome case.

because.

At this moment, next to the handsome man's meal, there was a page of paper that he had never seen before.

The font used on it is the official script popular in the Three Kingdoms, but the font layout is completely different, especially ', ', '. ', '...' and other strange symbols that he had never seen before made Mr. Guan really confused.

However, this is not important and does not affect the reading of the content.

And the most important thing is that when Mr. Guan saw the line of words at the top of the paper, Dan Feng's eyes almost turned into leopard-like eyes.

"Chapter 76: Xu Gongming fought against Mianshui, Guan Yunchang defeated Maicheng"

"How can I be defeated if I am invincible in the world?!"

………………………

Hongwu time and space, Zuixian Tower.

Ji Boying, who came back from the Three Kingdoms time and space, took a long breath.

The reason why he chose to appear in front of Liu Xuande at the last moment and send a message to Cao Mengde and Sun Shiwan at the same time was mainly to make Sun, Liu and Cao stop giving him incense, otherwise they would have to give him incense every day. Pop-up videos are really annoying to death.

As for Guan Yunchang.

Ji Boying specially left a volume of exciting contents from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms to the second master, and also asked the dog system to translate all the contents in official script to ensure that Guan Yu could understand the plot inside.

If Guan Yu still doesn't believe it after reading this volume and stubbornly wants to kill Lu Meng, then Ji Boying will have nothing to do.

In the current situation in Jingzhou, Guan Yu is still besieging Fancheng, Cao Wei's reinforcements led by Xu Huang have not yet arrived, and Lu Meng has not yet captured Jiangling. As long as Guan Yu decisively gives up the siege of Fancheng, gathers his troops and rescues Jiangling in time, he can kill those two soldiers. Wu Zai, then there is still a certain chance of remediation. The worst thing is that he will fall out with Soochow and form a situation of being attacked from both sides.

To take a step back, no matter how bad it is.

As long as Guan Yu leads his troops to withdraw from Jingzhou and preserves his troops, it is not impossible to find another time to return to Jingzhou to find a place, and he will not end up drifting north.

When Ji Boying was ready, he pulled back the timeline of the Three Kingdoms time and space to see if his operation could help Mr. Guan escape, and what kind of development the Three Kingdoms time and space would usher in in the future. .

During this trip to the Three Kingdoms, Ji Boying discovered a very interesting way to play, which can be used to pass the time when he is bored.

That is to compare the battle between Wei, Shu and Wu in the Three Kingdoms time and space to a game. As a player, you choose one side, use the angle of God to guide the direction of the war, and finally clear the level to complete the unification.

This feels a bit like playing Heroes of the Three Kingdoms.

certainly.

If Ji Boying were asked to choose one of Wei, Shu and Wu as his own force, he would most likely choose Liu Bei's Shuhan.

Among the three families, Soochow was excluded first, because the Sun family of Soochow never had the ambition to dominate the world. They just wanted to stay in Jiangdong and ensure that their own side's foundation was the best for a hundred years.

Cao Wei and Shu Han have been fighting for the unification of the world.

Secondly, let’s not talk about personal likes and dislikes of Liu Bei and Cao Cao, but look at it from the perspective of pure consequentialism in history.

After several generations of hard work, Cao Wei finally made a great family and great business, but after all, he made a wedding dress for the Sima family, and Sima's Jin was really useless. The Western Jin Dynasty only existed for fifty years, but it was chaotic for three years. For more than ten years, the country's power was wasted and the eight kings were in conflict, leading to five hundred years of chaos in China. Tens of millions of Han people became two-legged sheep at the mercy of foreigners. How miserable.

From this point, let’s look at Cao Wei and Shu Han.

If you were to choose purely from the perspective of a commoner, it would definitely be a no-brainer to choose Liu Bei. After all, a lord who can lead the people to move in troubled times can be regarded as a true gentleman even if he is falsely benevolent in his heart.

In troubled times, if you can take action, it is better than anything else.

And if the Shu and Han are unified, the world will return to the Han Dynasty, which will benefit all people in terms of legitimacy and subsequent stability.

"Lao Zhu, it's almost time. You should go back and rest first."

Ji Boying glanced at Lao Zhu in front of him.

Today, Lao Zhu had a full day of classes and accompanied him around the Three Kingdoms. It was obvious at a glance that Lao Zhu was a little tired. After all, Lao Zhu was now over fifty, so his energy was naturally much lower. Once upon a time.

"okay."

Lao Zhu drank the Dahongpao on the table in one gulp, stood up and was about to leave.

"etc."

"Bring these things with you."

The words fell.

On the table next to Lao Zhu, a lot of bottles and cans suddenly appeared.

These include health products such as 'Oyster Tablets', 'Cordyceps Sinensis Oral Liquid' and so on.

Lao Zhu looked at the pile of stuff and knew that his brother was thinking about him, so he was not polite at all. He put them all away with a smile and left happily.

After Lao Zhu leaves.

Ji Boying took a long breath.

I tilted my head slightly and looked out the window at the windy scenery. It was a glorious winter night, with snow falling on the world and falling on the willows of the Qinhuai River. It was so beautiful.

However.

Even though the weather is already so cold.

But the sixteenth floor on the bank of the Qinhuai River is still glowing red after nightfall, with an endless stream of guests coming and going.

This fully illustrates a truth. In order to chase the mountains and rivers in his heart, a man can wear a cloak and brave the snow, and he can be so brave of the cold. It is really awe-inspiring and regarded as a role model by our generation.

Snap.

The cigarette in the corner of the mouth is habitually lit.

In front of Ji Boying's eyes, the time scales of the sixteen time-spaces of the Ming Dynasty all appeared, and the time-spaces of the foreign dynasties that had been taught previously were all moved back ten days.

Previously, Ji Boying realized that he had neglected to consider one thing.

Starting from the first class, the pace of classes is indeed quite frequent. Such frequent short-term teaching can easily lead to cramming teaching, which is definitely not advisable at any time.

After all, governing a country is like cooking fresh food, and it is not advisable to rush.

Therefore, after finishing the class this time, Ji Boying specially pushed back the timelines of all time and space by ten days. The ten days were neither long nor short, and could give each time and space Ming Dynasty enough time to digest the content of the class, and also give each time and space time to fully digest the content of the class. Give these emperors and princes a rest time.

At the same time, Ji Boying also gave himself a night to rest. He had been too tired recently.

Ji Boying sat alone by the window and habitually began to search the conditions of the sixteen time and space in case any special circumstances occurred. After all, the time had stretched for ten days, and the lessons of the previous Chenghua time and space were especially in front of him.

The cigarette in his hand was burning quietly.

gradually.

Bleary-eyed.

……………………

The next day.

The moon sets, crows cry, and the sky is filled with frost.

At dawn in the Golden Crow, when the first reddish ray of morning light broke through the dark clouds, Ji Boying slowly opened his eyes. After falling asleep accidentally last night, he sat like this by the window and slept all night.

When he opened his eyes, there was a moment of trance in his eyes, which was out of tune with this world.

Breathe in... exhale...

Wei took a deep breath.

Eee~

The door to the elegant room was slowly pushed open.

"Master~"

The twin sisters Lianxiang Xiyu walked in at the same time. Both girls were wearing fairy cloud buns and one green and one white winter velvet skirt. They were beautiful and graceful, but they still couldn't hide their proud bodies.

but.

It can be seen from the eyes of the two sisters that they are obviously a little disappointed, like pitiful little rabbits who have not been favored by their master for a long time.

after all.

Except for Ji Boying, who played an elegant game called "Mountain and Flowing Water" with them when he first came to Zuixian Tower, he basically never touched them again. A serious lack of confidence arose.

"Well, ring the bell."

Ji Boying woke up, put his thoughts back, and spoke softly.

As soon as he slept by the window, he had a long, long dream. In the dream, he really became an immortal. For thousands of years, he could swim in the underworld, understand the chaos, break through the shackles of heaven, and travel in the endless starry sky. .

Finally, we found the product manager behind the dog system. Just when she was marveling at her devilish figure, she turned around.

The face caught my eye and I woke up with a fright.

Looking up at Lianxiang Xiyu's pretty little face, I felt much calmer. Otherwise, with how terrifying that face was, it would definitely be a nightmare in my life.

"Yes~"

Respect the fragrance and cherish the jade and salute.

Immediately, the two women exited the door and went downstairs to ring the bell.

After stretching and stretching his muscles and bones, Ji Boying tapped his fingertips on the table. Simple soy milk fried dough sticks and a drawer of fragrant steamed dumplings appeared on the table, and he started eating slowly.

About a quarter of an hour later.

When the noise started building downstairs, Ji Boying put the last steamed bun into his mouth.

Get up, go out, and go downstairs.

Ji Boying stepped over the threshold and went down the mahogany stairs. The moment the immortal master appeared in everyone's eyes, all the princes and princes in the main hall first stood up straight and saluted, and then sat down obediently. took their respective seats.

"Brother, your oyster slices are really good!"

Seeing Ji Boying coming downstairs, Lao Zhu hurriedly walked up to meet him, with unconcealable joy in his eyes.

The other health supplements I took back last time were not very effective, but only the oyster slices doubled the duration of Lao Zhu’s happiness.

"Um."

Regarding Lao Zhu's words, Ji Boying just nodded without commenting too much.

He is still young and in his prime, so he has no worries in that regard yet.

Abiao stood on the podium and began to calm down the slightly chaotic classroom discipline. After all, for these princes and princes, it was equivalent to a ten-day holiday. Now that we get together, there is always something to talk about.

"Everyone be quiet and get ready for class."

"that whoever."

"Zhengde Zhu Houzhao, what are you looking at? I'm talking about you! Put your feet down from the table. If you put them down next time, these feet will be chopped off for you! Sit upright!"

"…………"

Ji Boying walked up to the podium and sat on the Taishi chair with the teaching plan. He raised his hand and held a cup of Dahongpao. He took a sip first to warm his stomach.

His eyes glanced at the left and right outer parishes.

Moved by a thought.

Uh-huh.

In the outer parishes on both sides, in an instant, Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng, the first Chai Boss of the Five Dynasties, the Tangjiabao people headed by Li Er, and the Zhaojiazhuang people headed by Zhao Da all appeared together.

After everyone appeared, their faces were full of excitement. For their ordinary and boring emperor career, being able to come to the gods to take classes was a rare and rare experience.

Only Ying Zheng's face was full of depression at the moment.

During these ten days, due to the long distance, although he has not returned to Xianyang, he has already begun to decipher the fairy box. They said that there are many scholars in Qi, and he summoned hundreds of doctors to queue up to study it. "Fairy Box", but in the end, not even a damn thing was researched.

They are all mediocre people!

For the First Emperor who was eager to obtain the Immortality Technique, this was simply a huge shock. The Immortality Technique was clearly right in front of him, but he couldn't get it. He was so uncomfortable that he couldn't breathe!

"Classes begin."

Ji Boying glanced at the group of Zhujiacun people in the audience and glanced at the morning light shining into the main hall. It was almost time.

On a new day, Tianzi students will swim in the ocean of knowledge again.

With the ruler in his hand, he pointed at the three lines of characters on the rice paper behind him.

"A brief discussion: the reasonable release of imperial power"

"The First Emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty: The Glorious Life of Emperor Hongguang"

"The Death of the Sui Dynasty: Yang Jian and Yang Guang"
