Preaching begins with Tai Chi

Chapter 256 Chang'an Chaos, Fighting Hanzhong

Zhong Yao was powerless, so at the last moment, he had to surrender.

After all, he has been a Hanchen for more than a hundred years, and he only joined Cao Cao after Cao Cao coerced the emperor to make the princes, and his loyalty was not too high.

After Guan Yu took down Luoyang, he immediately repaired the defensive array in preparation for Zhang Jiao's attack.

Zhang Jiao was also shocked. He never expected that Guan Yu would successfully attack Luoyang so quickly, and it was too late to mobilize the army.

When the news reached Guanzhong, Liu Xie was overjoyed, and Jia Xu also knew that the critical moment had arrived.

Although Guan Yu attacked Luo Yang by surprise, he faced Zhang Jiao's army directly, and the pressure was enormous.

Liu Bei was still under attack, and it was difficult to capture Nanyang in a hurry.

If you revolt at this time, you can change the overall situation to the greatest extent and completely rewrite the situation of the Three Kingdoms fighting for the dragon.

Although he has been fishing for more than a hundred years, Jia Xu did not hesitate at the critical moment, and directly mobilized. Cooperating with Huang Zhong, he captured Chen Qun immediately, and imprisoned Cao Cao's harem and all the princes. Chang'an!
Then he announced the clothing belt edict immediately, calling on the world to rebel against Cao.

Liu Xie directly canonized Liu Bei as King Pei, General, and Prime Minister, and ordered him to command the Han army all over the world to fight against the Cao bandits.

When the news came out, the world was shocked.

Especially the act of directly conferring Liu Bei as King Pei, General, and Prime Minister stunned everyone.

Pei County is the birthplace of Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty. Before Liu Bang became emperor, he was first the Duke of Pei, then the King of Hanzhong, and finally the Son of Heaven.

Hanzhong is now in the hands of Cao Cao, but Pei County is in the hands of Liu Bei, so Liu Xie directly named Liu Bei the King of Pei.

As for the general and the prime minister, the highest civil and military positions are held on their shoulders. Coupled with the title of King Pei, the meaning of this reward edict is already very obvious.

Liu Xie did not regard Liu Bei as a prince, but as the hope of the great Han Sanxing, the next Emperor Guangwu.

He already has the heart of resignation.

As long as the world is unified, he can take the initiative to abdicate and hand over the throne to Liu Bei.

A big man is still a big man, and the fate of the country lasts forever.

When Liu Bei received this edict, his joy finally surpassed his grief and indignation. Under Zhuge Liang's reminder, he bowed three times in the direction of Chang'an, and accepted the positions of King Pei, General, and Prime Minister.

And sent Yue Fei and clan Liu Ye to Chang'an to protect the emperor.

Guan Yu also broke through the Hangu Pass at the right time, and Cao Cao completely lost the two capitals in just seven days.

Jia Xu and Huang Zhong were not idle, but after purging Cao Cao's loyalists, they took the initiative to attack all parts of Sizhou, and sent Ma Teng to Liangzhou to serve as the prefect of Jincheng.

The reason for releasing Ma Teng was naturally to completely disrupt Cao Cao's situation. Now that Ma Chao and Ma Dai are still there, and Ma Teng has left Beijing again, the father and son will definitely be able to win Liangzhou with the combined efforts of the three of them.

The new hussar general Huang Zhong personally led the army to the expedition, and with the support of Jiang Wei, a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, he directly pacified the entire Sizhou and blocked Cao Cao's army in Hanzhong.

Ma Teng, Ma Chao, and Ma Dai quickly killed the officials Cao Cao sent to Liangzhou and became the lord of Liangzhou.

After some operations, Cao Cao directly lost the two capitals of Sizhou and Liangzhou, leaving only Yizhou Hanzhong and an isolated city of Nanyang under his rule.

Zhuge Liang also reacted quickly, leaving only Zhuge Jin, Lu Da, Ye Changsheng and others guarding Jingzhou, and proposed to transfer Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, Zhou Xuan, Lu Xun and other generals to Chang'an to prevent Cao Cao's Northern Expedition.

After all, even Cao Cao's wife and children have become prisoners, and he knows almost without thinking whether he will attack Jingzhou or return to Guanzhong next.

After more than a hundred years of fishing, Jia Xu, a master of fishing, came back to the rivers and lakes, and the demeanor of the poisonous warrior bloomed again, astonishing the world.

It can be said that if there is no sound, it will be a blockbuster, which directly caused an avalanche in Cao Cao's territory, and the strategic situation took a sharp turn for the worse.

At this time, Nanyang City is no longer important.

Although Xun Yu and Cao Ren didn't know what the situation was like outside, it must be very bad.

Guan Yu never came back, and then even Yue Fei left, and finally Liu Bei also left, leaving only Zhuge Liang to confront them here.

And no longer attacking the big formation with effort, but only besieged in groups.

Xun Yu and Cao Ren organized many counterattacks, but in front of the yin-yang, five elements and eight trigrams formation, they always returned without success.

Zhuge Liang and Cao Ren are the two defense masters ranked first and second in the Three Kingdoms era.

Originally, Zhuge Liang attacked and Cao Ren defended, which was fairly evenly matched. Now Cao Ren attacked and Zhuge Liang defended, the two sides were not at the same level at all.

That's called an impregnable soup.

Liu Bei has already gone to Chang'an in person, he must seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to completely trap Cao Cao to death in Yizhou.

Even if it takes some risk.

Leave Guan Yu in Luoyang and guard against Zhang Jiao and Lu Bu.

This is also a difficult task. No matter how stupid Zhang Jiao is, he will not sit back and watch Liu Bei win the two capitals so easily.

But no matter how dangerous the situation is, as long as the land of the two capitals is really captured, the outcome of this game of fighting for the dragon will be clear.

Outside Chang'an City, Emperor Liu Xie personally went ten miles outside the city to meet Liu Bei.

As soon as they met, they supported Liu Bei's arm very enthusiastically, and called him the emperor's uncle, and regarded himself as a junior.

Although Liu Bei had expected it, he never expected that Liu Xie's attitude would be so clear, and it was in front of all civil and military officials.

Liu Bei once again met a group of old friends, such as Jia Xu, such as Kong Rong.

Especially Jia Xu, who gave Liu Bei a big surprise.

"Brother Wenhe, it has been 180 years since Guangzong left!" Liu Bei enthusiastically took Jia Xu's hand: "I was the governor of Donglai back then, and Wenhe helped me find it!"

Jia Xu smiled brightly: "King Pei, there will be a big battle in Hanzhong next, is King Pei willing to lead an army to fight the Cao bandits in Hanzhong?"

"Of course!" Liu Bei resolutely said: "The revenge of the third brother, the revenge of Shiyuan, has not been reported yet!"

Jia Xu nodded: "So, King Pei summoned one person first, this person is very important, and will determine the outcome of the battle in Hanzhong!"

"who?"

"Ma Chao!"

Liu Bei sighed: "I just heard the news of the death of my third brother, and I was angry with Meng Qi, but after such a long time, I also let go of it. At least Meng Qi also fought to the end in the final battle, and retreated after being seriously injured and lost."

"Okay, in this way, Guanzhong Xiliang can be settled!" Jia Xu smiled and stroked his hands.

In the next seven days, Liu Bei met with a group of Han officials in Chang'an, and reached a consensus with Chen Qun, Sima Yi's brother Sima Lang, Yang Xiu and others.

After all, Cao Cao's general situation is gone, and Liu Bei has a high probability of becoming the final real dragon, and these aristocratic families finally stopped resisting.

Instead, choose to join if you can't beat it.

And Liu Bei also gave them a chance. After all, this is the critical moment to unite all forces that can be united and quickly eliminate Cao Cao and Zhang Jiao.

Then he organized a large army to attack and went to Hanzhong to support Hussar General Huang Zhong.

On the way, he recruited Zhong Yao's son Zhong Hui, who was also the 32nd young general on the list of generals.

Then wait until Ma Chao in Fufeng.

Liu Bei took Ma Chao to drink until dawn, weeping bitterly, feeling sorry for his third brother's death in battle, and when he heard that Ma Chao had seventeen wounds in his body, and the bleeding continued, he also sighed and poured wine for Ma Chao himself.

Overnight, Ma Chao was filled with emotions, and thousands of words were turned into one sentence: "Mr. Xuande is generous, and I, Ma Meng, are convinced!"

The Ma family is not stupid, even if they re-occupy Liangzhou now, is there still hope to unify the country?
Impossible, it is better to return to Liu Bei's command, stand with the winner, and have the last laugh.

Since even Liu Bei didn't blame Ma Chao anymore, and didn't blame Ma Chao for Zhang Fei's death, then why worry?

So when Liu Bei came to Hanzhong, he already had Jia Xu, Lu Su, Lu Xun, Kong Rong, Yang Xiu, and Liu Ye as advisers, and Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Ma Chao, Yue Fei, Zhong Hui, Wei Yan, Jiang Wei, etc. as generals. , It can be said that generals are like clouds and counselors are like rain.

The lineup is no worse than Cao Cao on the opposite side.

As for Cao Cao, he had aged so much overnight that even his hair and beard were all white.

Gaining Yizhou, but losing the two capitals and Sizhou Liangzhou, all sons and wives fell into the hands of the enemy, and the strategy of coercing the emperor to command the princes finally ushered in the biggest backlash.

The one who gave Cao Cao the most painful blow was Jia Xu, who had always been happy to fish.

No one would have imagined that in just one month, Jia Xu would be able to plot a lot of poisonous tricks and directly stir up the situation in the world.

But there was no way, when Xun Yu was forced to leave Chang'an east to guard Luoyang, the biggest hidden danger was planted.

If Xun Wenruo was in Chang'an, Jia Xu would never have succeeded so easily.

But now, Cao Cao has only one way to go.

That is to take advantage of the chaos in Chang'an and when Liu Bei had no time to integrate his forces, the whole army went north immediately to reconquer Chang'an.

However, all the way north, get all the bad news.

Liu Xie actually completely let go of the dignity of the emperor, and completely fell in love with Liu Bei.

And the big-eared thief is so capable of deceiving people's hearts that he has gathered such a terrifying army in Hanzhong in a short period of time.

The Battle of Hanzhong opened between Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

This is the third head-to-head confrontation between the two, the first two being the battle of Xuzhou.

Cao Cao pushed Liu Bei to a desperate situation twice, but in the end he fell short and failed to win.

But this time, the situation reversed sharply, and it was Cao Cao's turn to be cornered by Liu Bei.

What is completely different from the history is that Cao Cao sent troops from Yizhou to the north, and Liu Bei sent troops from Chang'an to the south.

Ma Chao and Zhao Yun faced Dian Wei. After all, Dian Wei survived twenty-nine days of calamity, and now only Guan Yu and Lu Bu are worthy opponents.

Yue Fei faced Xiahou Dun, Huang Zhong faced Xiahou Yuan, Wei Yan faced Zhang He, Jiang Wei faced Pang De, Zhong Hui Ma Dai faced Xu Huang.

Jia Xu confronted Sima Yi, Lu Su approached Cheng Yu, and after sacrificing Guo Jia and Chen Gongxi Zhicai in the Jiange bloody battle, Cao Cao's biggest shortcoming was exposed, that is, the lack of counselors.

Of course, Xun Yu, Xun You and others were trapped in Nanyang, but it didn't help.

However, Liu Bei almost rode into the pass alone, but with his own personality charm, he convinced all the Han officials and united all the forces that could be united. In a short period of time, he gathered a huge army under his command. The Datong monks were the backbone, and they repelled Cao Cao head-on in the Battle of Hanzhong.

Cheng Yu died in battle, Huang Zhong beheaded Xia Houyuan, and Sima Yi surrendered under Jia Xu's pressure.

Sima Yi is not stupid, Cao Cao is at the end of the road, if he doesn't vote now, when will he wait?
What's more, the eldest brother Sima Lang also surrendered, no, anyway, I and the grand master Jia Xu also had a friendship in the same palace back then, and our subordinates were not stained with the blood of the general of the Han army, so it can be said that there is no difficulty.

Cao's army was defeated, Cao Cao was surrounded by the rebels and fled, and Dian Wei cut off the heir himself.

In the end Zhang He surrendered, Pound died in battle, Xu Huang and Xiahou Dun escaped from birth, and Dian Wei was surrounded by Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, and Zhao Yun.

The strength of other people is too different, and going up is also a drag.

Dian Wei was the direct murderer who killed Zhang Fei, and he was also the only general who refused to surrender to Liu Bei.

In the end, under the siege of No. [-] on the generals list, Dian Wei, who ranked No. [-], died in battle.

The Han army captured Hanzhong in one fell swoop.

The most exasperating thing is that the original Jiange Jedi was also blown up by Cao Cao, and now there is no danger to defend, and the road to Yizhou can be said to be flat.

Liu Bei left Yue Fei, Lu Su and Wei Yan behind to guard the newly surrendered Sima Yi Zhang He returned to Chang'an, and personally led the army to continue chasing Cao Cao.

Eight years later, Cao Cao's army was completely wiped out in Chengdu.

Cao Cao killed himself, and Cao Jun perished.

During these eight years, Zhuge Liang moved to Luoyang and Nanyang alone, and together with Guan Yu, firmly blocked Zhang Jiao's several southward travels, and finally formed the trend of the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

It’s just that the Northern and Southern Dynasties were a bit unbalanced. In the Northern Dynasties, there were only the four states of Youzhou, Jizhou, Bingzhou, and Yanzhou, while in the Southern Dynasties there were the lands of Liangzhou, Sizhou, Yizhou, Qingzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, Jingzhou, Yangzhou, and Jiaozhou. .

Since the start of the decisive battle in the Central Plains, it has only been ten years since Liu Bei put down Cao Cao. In these ten years, the general situation of the world has been almost completely locked. Liu Bei's dragon is only one step away from evolving into a real dragon.

Nanyang City finally began to be breached, and all the generals of the Cao family died in battle, and Xun Yu also committed suicide.

Xun You represented the Xun family in Yingchuan and pledged allegiance to Liu Bei. Generals with foreign surnames such as Li Dian Yu Jin surrendered one after another.

Although Liu Bei occupies the land of Kyushu, most of them have experienced cruel wars, and it is time to recuperate.

Chixian Shenzhou has once again entered a period of peace.

However, everyone knows that when the next great war starts, it will be the time when the world will be unified.

Zhang Jiao also knew that his destiny was no longer, and his defeat would be inevitable.

But if you can delay it for a longer period of time, you will be able to practice for a longer period of time with the help of human luck.

As long as it does not exceed the 300-year period and affects the ownership of the Red Emperor's inheritance, it will always be profitable.

While recuperating, Liu Bei was busy integrating the interior of the Han Dynasty in the name of King Pei, General and Prime Minister.

However, Liu Bei was not domineering, and had always been respectful to the emperor Liu Xie, and memorials were delivered to the palace for all government affairs, big or small.

Liu Xie never seized power, as long as Liu Bei sent the memorials, all of them were "ready to play" and became a ruthless red-criticizing machine.

Although unable to hold power, Liu Xie gained a sense of security, and no longer worried about being killed or imprisoned by others, but also gained freedom.

As long as you don't leave Chang'an City, you can go anywhere, as long as you don't lose the face of the emperor, you can do anything, Liu Xie is very happy.

Liu Bei had secretly negotiated with Liu Xie openly and honestly. When Zhangjiao was settled and the Han Dynasty was unified, Liu Xie would hold a surrender ceremony.

After Liu Bei proclaims himself emperor, he will confer Liu Xie the title of virtuous king. Not only will he be given a fief, but he will also be allowed to travel around the entire Chixian Shenzhou at will, which is more free than anyone imagined.

And Li Mi, who is high above the sky, also opened the third Bajing Palace preaching ceremony.

After Liu Bei defeated Cao Cao, Zhang Jiao also gave up struggling, and no longer spent a lot of energy on preparing the army for war and ruling his subordinates, but concentrated on practicing.

When I met Liu Bei in the Bajing Palace, the two sides didn't have much enmity, but called each other friends.

If the lord is like this, the subordinates don't have many grievances.

Even Lu Bu was smiling when he saw Guan Yu.

Lu Bu was also very happy. Finally, it was almost the end of the Humane Dragon Contest. On the side of the Yellow Turban Army, he was under one man and over ten thousand people. The luck he got was not much worse than Guan Yu's. There are far fewer people than Liu Beijun.

Now there are 72 generals on the list, 58 of them are under Liu Bei's command, and [-] of the [-] on the Taoism list are under Liu Bei's command.

There are still a lot of hermit casual cultivators left, and Zhang Jiao's two lists add up to only 27 people. How can this compete with Liu Bei?

In the Bajing Palace, Li Mi preached for three years, and all the monks got something.

After dispersing, Li Mi began to prepare to find the next world.

Although it is only about Taoism, it is already considered the top among Mahayana monks, and it can even ascend at any time.

However, Li Mi's practice of "Opening Heavenly Art" is still a crucial step away, using Tai Chi Yin Yang fish to evolve the phantom shadow of Taiqing Daotian Zun Yuanshen.

And taking advantage of the Heavenly Tribulation is the best opportunity.

Li Mi still has a chance of four or nine days of catastrophe, but the upper limit of this world must be higher than Chixian Shenzhou and Xuanzhen Realm, and not much different from Dahong Realm, in order to meet Li Mi's needs.

Now there are still more than a hundred years before the end of the human struggle for dragons, Liu Bei will not be in a hurry to attack the Yellow Turban Army, it will take at least a few decades, and it is impossible for Li Mi to sit in the Bajing Palace all the time.

Find another world to evangelize, and the most efficient way to obtain evangelism is the key.

Li Mi's preaching speed plummeted all the way after successively refining the three low-grade Houtian Lingbao, the Taiji Tu, Tiandi Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda, and Shanhe Sheji Tu, and refined the Xuyuan of Xuanzhen Realm into the middle-rank Houtian Lingbao Chaos Taiyi Bead. After reaching 1000 trillion, it has only recovered to 3000 trillion in the past ten years.

"Taishang Daoyin, mediating good fortune, I choose to go to the most suitable world!"

As the purple clouds filled the air, the endless void opened up in front of Li Mi's eyes again, and finally a magical and strange world appeared in front of Li Mi.

This is a strange world, and its level of inspiration has already surpassed the extreme of the common world, comparable to that of the Dahong Realm.

However, there are no immortals in this world, only gods.

They were all born from outside the world, and they completely rewrote the Taoism system of the entire world. They are called Outer Gods.

Among the outer gods, the three most powerful are called the Three Pillar Gods.

One is the emperor of the North Sea who is in charge of the law of life, the Black Queen Mother, the other is the emperor of the South Sea who is in charge of the laws of time and space-Shu, and the last one is the emperor of the Central Sea who is in charge of the law of chaos-Chaos.

And this world is called the Western Wilderness Realm.

Any outer god can be classified as a god, equivalent to a real fairy.

But Sanzhushen has to go a step further, maybe it is the ultimate of true immortals, or it may simply be the realm of Xuanxian.

And this Western Wilderness is also very weird. The three pillar gods sound like they come from "Zhuangzi", but they are inextricably related to the Cthulhu myth.

Surrounded by purple clouds, Li Mi appeared in the Western Wilderness Realm without alarming any of the Outer Gods.
