Traveling in the dark is a kind of torture. Even Chen Kang doesn't want to drive at night.
But there was no other way. After leaving Yecheng, we didn't dare to stay any longer and could only return to Luoyang as soon as possible.
Cao Pi said nothing along the way. He knew he had done something wrong, so he had to keep a low profile.
There are not many people who can make Cao Pi afraid. Cao Cao is one, and so is Chen Kang.
Cao Pi did not dare to lose his temper in front of Chen Kang. When he was a child, he was often punished by Chen Kang's cane.
Until now, Cao Pi still remembers it fresh.
Cao Pi thought to himself: "Hey. It's a pity that I couldn't take Zhen Mi with me."
If Chen Kang knew what Cao Pi was thinking, he would definitely slap him twice.
Just because of a woman, Cao Pi almost ruined things.
Fortunately, with Guo Jia, the situation is still under control. Otherwise, this visit to Yecheng will be a failure.
Guo Jia said: "Mr. Chen Kang, there is no moonlight today, and you can't see your fingers at night. How about we find a village, stay overnight, and start our journey tomorrow morning."
Chen Kang shook his head and said: "No. The news that I came to Yecheng has been exposed. I am not in Luoyang, and the safety of the lord cannot be guaranteed. I must rush back as soon as possible without delaying for a moment. Shi A, you take Young Master Cao Pi with you. I'm taking Fengxiao with me, let's speed up our pace."
Chen Kang picked up Guo Jia and rushed forward.
Shi A mentioned Cao Pi and followed Chen Kang's footsteps.
Liu Yi was traveling empty-handed, so it was much easier.
A martial arts master with the strength of a thousand pounds can lift a person weighing more than a hundred pounds without any pressure.
In order to take care of Shi A and Liu Yi's physical strength, Chen Kang deliberately slowed down.
Regardless of physical exertion, Chen Kang was able to walk thousands of miles overnight.
But by daybreak, Chen Kang and the others had only walked three hundred miles.
Chen Kang said: "Let's eat some dry food first and regain our strength. During the day, we have to speed up. Later I will run with all my strength. I must return to Luoyang before tonight."
Cao Pi was shocked.
Without riding a horse, you can return to Luoyang so quickly.
It's simply a magical skill.
If he had known that martial arts was so magical, Cao Pi would have practiced martial arts diligently when he was a child.
When Chen Kang taught Cao Pi, Cao Zhi and others martial arts, he treated them equally.
However, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi were not pure in mind and could not concentrate fully. Their martial arts training efficiency was more than ten times worse than that of Ge Xuan.
In the past two years, Cao Pi, Cao Zhi and others even gave up martial arts training and began to cultivate their own power.
Everyone has his own ambitions.
Chen Kang will not force them to learn martial arts skills.
Chen Kang used to believe that as long as he taught martial arts skills carefully and allowed students to complete various martial arts projects, they could become strong.
But now Chen Kang doesn't think so.
Learning any skill requires a suitable environment.
The general environment is the so-called general trend.
Just like in the world of Devouring Starry Sky, all the people are martial and everyone talks about cultivation. Warriors have privileges, can enjoy various social resources, and enjoy a high social status.
If you are not a warrior, you are inferior to others.
Of course everyone will study martial arts with all their heart.
Chen Kang's martial arts projects can naturally be easily promoted.
However, during the Three Kingdoms period, there was no aura of heaven and earth, and no source of power from the universe. This was an era where aristocratic families and powerful families dominated everything.
Being a nobleman, being an official and holding power, you can be high and mighty, and you can be prosperous and wealthy. Cao Pi and the others will naturally pursue power. For the sake of power, you can even do whatever it takes.
The same is true in the business community, everything is about money.
No matter what you do, the purpose is to make more money.
For money, you can sell your moral bottom line.
In the business world, talking about morality and traditional culture is a stupid thing in the eyes of everyone.
If you have money, you have morals.
To have money is to be righteous.
When Chen Kang teaches students, he will not think about cultivating them to become talents, but will use a series of means to select them.
In other words, it is to eliminate those who are not talented and not focused.
If your talent is not good enough, you still have to cultivate your own character and overcome your own shortcomings. Why should Chen Kang train them?
If Cao Pi wanted to learn martial arts from Chen Kang again, Chen Kang would not teach him anymore.
To put it bluntly, Cao Pi is not suitable for practicing martial arts. At least that's what Chen Kang thinks.
Finished eating dry food.
Chen Kang said: "Let's continue on our way."
…
Yecheng.
Guo Tu's mansion.
Guo Tu was drinking alone.
After Chen Kang and Guo Jia came to Yecheng to cause trouble, Yuan Shao's attitude towards Guo Tu changed obviously.
Although Guo Tu is not a top strategist, he can also be regarded as a first-rate wise man.
He is still sensitive and enlightened.
Guo Tu thought to himself: "Mr. Yuan is doubting me. In the conscience of heaven and earth, although Guo Fengxiao is my nephew, I have no collusion with him."
At first, it was Guo Tu who introduced Guo Jia to serve in Yuan Shao's camp.
It's a pity that Guo Jia, like Han Xin, was not reused and had to leave.
To be honest, Guo Tu is a little envious of Guo Jia now.
Guo Jia is the chief military advisor of Cao Cao's group, and he is prosperous in Luoyang. And Cao Cao represented the imperial court, with a strong military and the sun was at its peak.
What about Yuan Shao?
Although it occupies four states, it is internally discordant, somewhat strong on the outside and weak on the inside, and is declining.
At the same time, Guo Tu felt a little disappointed.
Guo Jia came to Yecheng secretly, why didn't he come to see him?
Could it be that his resourcefulness and talent are not worthy of Cao Cao's attention?
…
Cao Pi returned to Luoyang and was severely punished by Cao Cao.
Cao Pi knelt on the ground, lowered his head, looking frightened.
No one dared to intercede for Cao Pi.
Cao Cao's son's education was a family matter of the Cao family, and Chen Kang didn't care about it, let alone pay attention to it.
Cao Cao kicked Cao Pi hard again and said angrily: "You almost ruined my big event for a woman. If I hadn't asked Mr. Chen Kang to go to Yecheng in person, the military advisor would have been killed by you."
"The woman you are interested in is called Zhen Mi, right? Once Yecheng is captured, I, Cao Mengde, will kill this woman."
Cao Pi trembled all over.
Cao Zhi was a little gloating.
However, Cao Zhi was curious, how beautiful was Zhen Mi? It actually made Cao Pi desperate to snatch the person away.
If there is a chance, Cao Zhi must meet this girl.
Cao Cao said angrily: "Go back and face the wall to think about your fault. You will not be allowed to leave the mansion for three months. If you dare to step out of the gate, I will break your legs."
Cao Pi breathed a sigh of relief, quickly got up, and said respectfully: "My child, please leave."
Cao Cao hated that iron could not become steel, so he scolded: "Get out of here."
The people present were silent.
Cao Cao's majesty became stronger and stronger, and when he became angry, few people could bear it.
…
Liu Yi is practicing sword practice.
Emperor Liu Xie came over.
Liu Yi put down his sword, wiped the sweat from his face, and said, "Your Majesty is getting married soon, why do you have time to come to my place?"
Liu Xie is about to get married to Fu Wan's daughter "Fu Shou".
In order to win over Fu Wan and his fellow nobles, Liu Xie decided to canonize Fu Shou as queen.
Liu Xie said: "Sister Huang, as long as Wang Yun takes care of my marriage, they can worry about it."
Liu Yi said: "After your marriage, your Majesty will have children as soon as possible. My father's children are just you and me. You have to have a few more children."
Liu Yi is a girl. If she gets married, she will no longer be a member of the Liu family.
Liu Bian had been killed by Dong Zhuo and Li Rujiu.
Liu Xie was the late emperor's only son. Liu Yi is very happy that he can get married as soon as possible.
Liu Xie asked: "Sister Huang, do you think Cao Mengde can win this time when he sends troops to attack Yuan Shao?"
Liu Yi nodded and said, "Cao Mengde will definitely win."
In fact, Liu Xie hoped that Cao Cao would lose. Now Liu Xie is no longer as excited as he was when he just returned to Luoyang. He felt that Cao Cao was even more hateful than Dong Zhuo at the time.
The fourth and third sons of the Yuan family.
If Cao Mengde can be defeated and Yuan Shao takes control of Luoyang, Liu Xie believes that Yuan Shao can be as loyal as Wang Yunfuwan and return the power to him.
When the time comes, Liu Xie will definitely enthrone Yuan Shao as a general.
I have to say that Liu Xie is still too young and his ideas are a bit naive.
No matter who sits in the position of Sikong or Prime Minister, their approach will not be much different from Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao.
After Wang Yun defeated them, they were loyal to the emperor. It was not because they were really loyal, but because Cao Cao was there.
They must focus on the emperor and work together to seek benefits.
Otherwise, they will not be able to survive in the court.
Liu Yi was older and more mature in thinking. She could guess what Liu Xie was thinking, but she didn't reveal it.
Liu Yi said: "Your Majesty, relying on others is not a long-term solution after all. Only by being strong yourself can you be truly strong. In a few days, I will go to Mr. Chen Kang to practice swordsmanship. I want to take a further step in my martial arts. "
Liu Yi has been worrying about Liu Xie for so many years, but he has no power, so he is just messing around and doing useless work.
After returning from Yecheng, Liu Yi began to reflect and made the decision to continue practicing swordsmanship with Chen Kang.
As for assisting Liu Xie and regaining the Liu family's foundation, Liu Yi would certainly not give up.
But that will have to wait.
Liu Yi secretly thought: "If I become a master of swordsmanship, it might be much easier to do things."
…
Chen Kang is practicing Wu Qin Xi slowly.
Liu Yi stood aside, holding a white towel in his hand.
Chen Kang finished training.
Liu Yi immediately handed over the towel.
Chen Kang took the towel, wiped the sweat from his face, and said, "Are you coming back to practice swordsmanship again?"
Liu Yi nodded and said, "Yes."
In front of Chen Kang, Liu Yi kept her posture very low, completely lacking the arrogance and coldness of the eldest princess.
Chen Kang said: "Your Royal Highness, your martial arts foundation is actually relatively solid. I have also taught you the basics of swordsmanship and how to exert force. You can practice it by yourself. It doesn't mean much if you don't come back."
Liu Yi said: "I think my martial arts and swordsmanship will improve faster if I stay with you. If I stay here with you, my heart can calm down."
Chen Kang said: "It's up to you. If you want to come back, then come back. However, I may not have the time and energy to teach you martial arts and swordsmanship. I also need to practice myself. If you have any doubts about martial arts, you can ask Ge mysterious."
The night before yesterday, Ge Xuan had achieved a breakthrough in cultivation, and his martial arts had reached the level of a grand master.
A martial arts master is much more powerful than a peerless warrior. At least in terms of physical fitness, the Grand Master has an advantage.
Ge Xuan has a solid foundation and a strong foundation, so he naturally broke through to the level of a grand master.
Ge Xuan's practice combines the strengths of Chen Kang and Zuo Ci, and his future achievements will be limitless.
Liu Yi moved into Chen Kang's mansion.
Liu Yi didn't care about other people's gossip, and Chen Kang didn't even care.
Anyway, there are many guest rooms in the house, and one more Liu Yi can accommodate them.
Liu Yi is a princess with a generous salary, no shortage of training resources, and no need for Chen Kang to support her.
If Chen Kang had free time, he would give her some advice. If he didn't have time, he would let her practice on her own. As long as Liu Yi does not interfere with his practice, Chen Kang will not drive her away.
But Liu Yi's behavior was misunderstood by others.
They believed that Liu Yi was using her beauty to please Chen Kang and wanted Chen Kang to serve the emperor.
…
Yizhou.
Zhao Yun came to join Liu Bei, and Liu Bei gave Zhao Yun good treatment and military power.
However, Zhao Yun's status in the Liu Bei Group is still not comparable to that of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
Zhao Yun is practicing spear skills in the yard.
With a silver spear, Zhao Yun played it superbly.
After learning the secret art of inner training, Zhao Yun's martial arts improved several times. His physical fitness has also exceeded the limits of a peerless warrior and has reached the level of a great master.
At this moment, Zhao Yun is stronger than Lu Bu and is the strongest combat power of Liu Bei's group.
But Zhao Yun was not complacent at all.
Zhao Yun had seen the power of his master Tong Yuan, and was even more afraid of Chen Kang's martial arts. My achievements in martial arts and spear skills are far behind those of my master and Chen Kang.
Zhao Yun kept his master's words in mind and practiced the secret art of breathing and breathing internally. If he didn't practice it to a great extent, he would not be qualified to compete with a strong man like Chen Kang.
Someone came to deliver a message.
Let Zhao Yun go to Liu Bei's mansion.
Zhao Yun's eyes lit up: "My lord asked me to discuss things? Is there a battle to be fought?"
When he came to Yizhou, Zhao Yun had not fought a single battle and had not made any achievements.
Therefore, Zhao Yun was eager to achieve military success to prove himself.
Enter Liu Bei's mansion.
Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Zhuge Liang have arrived, as well as an old Taoist priest.
Guan Yu was stationed in Jingzhou, not Yizhou.
Liu Bei said: "Zilong, come, let me introduce you. This is Taoist Yu Ji. He is a rare master in the world."
Zhao Yun said in surprise: "Taoist Master Yu Ji? Didn't you die in Jiangdong?"
Zhuge Liang said: "Zilong, don't talk nonsense. Taoist Yu Ji is a master, with extraordinary martial arts and wisdom. The Sun family wanted to murder Taoist Ji, but how could they succeed? Taoist Yu Ji just played a little trick of 'resurrection of a corpse'. Just playing tricks on those people in Jiangdong."
Yu Ji laughed, stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "Zhao Zilong, are you a close disciple of Tong Yuan? Yes, yes, you have practiced martial arts to such a level at such a young age. It seems that Tong Yuan has already mastered that The secret technique of Mentunna has been taught to you."
Zhao Yun nodded and said: "Taoist priest has a sharp eye. Master did teach me the secret technique of breathing and breathing."
Yu Ji said: "Pindao has some friendship with your master Tong Yuan, but we haven't seen each other for more than 20 years. At first, I wanted to borrow this secret art of breathing, but your master disagreed. The secret technique is said to be very amazing and is the fundamental method of spiritual practice. Zilong, practice hard. In the future, your martial arts and spear skills may be able to surpass us old guys."
Chatted for a while.
Let’s get to the point.
Zhuge Liang said: "Cao Cao has already begun to mobilize his troops and generals, and to mobilize supplies and equipment. He will soon use his troops against Yuan Shao. We will take this opportunity to launch an offensive against Jiangdong."
"We want to swallow up Soochow's territory before Yuan Shao's defeat. We must integrate all our forces to resist Cao Cao."
Zhuge Liang's previous plan was to unite the Sun family of Soochow to resist Cao Cao.
But Zhao Zilong became the great master, and Yu Ji abandoned the Sun family in Jiangdong and went to Liu Bei.
As a result, Zhuge Liang immediately changed his plan and his tactics became more radical and bold.
United with Soochow, no matter how close the cooperation is, the two families will still be at odds.
It will be more promising to swallow up Soochow and let Bashu and Soochow merge into a whole to resist Cao Cao in the north.
…
Liu Bei suddenly sent troops to Soochow.
The Sun family was immediately stunned.
Zhou Yu was appointed as the governor, commanded the Jiangdong army, and began to resist Liu Bei.
Sun Quan sent Lu Su to negotiate with Liu Bei.
But Liu Bei didn't want to talk at all.
On the battlefield, Zhao Zilong, armed with a white horse and a silver spear, killed Soochow general "Cheng Pu" with one shot.
Zhao Zilong rushed into Jiangdong's army again and killed seven in and seven out.
It can be said to have shocked the entire army.
No one can block Zhao Zilong's gun.
With the spear in Zhao Zilong's hand, killing people is like mowing grass.
Cheng Pu was the leader of the "Twelve Tiger Ministers" in Jiangdong, and he was the best in martial arts among the three armies. He couldn't even catch a shot from Zhao Zilong, and was stabbed to death directly in front of the military formation.
Zhao Zilong is like a sharp knife, invincible and invincible.
Zhao Zilong is responsible for cleaning up Soochow's generals in front of the military formation.
The Yizhou army behind them followed closely and accepted the territory.
After all, once the commander-in-chief dies, there will be no leader, and Jiangdong's army will become a mess.
Less than two months.
Jiangdong lost one-third of its territory.
Sun Quan was frightened.
Liu Bei's offensive also shocked the Luoyang court.
