Daqin arrests alchemists, what does it matter to me as a qi refiner?

Chapter 223 The Three Kingdoms stand in harmony and the Shu Han prospers!

"Such food will surely bless all people for eternity. How can it not be a good thing?"

Zhuge Liang was very puzzled.

Qin Tian sighed and didn't say much, just waved his hand.

"When the war is over and you come here to find me again, I will give you a big gift."

Zhuge Liang was immediately shocked: "Isn't this a great gift?"

Qin Tian shook his head slightly: "It's just some grain, it's nothing."

"But since Kong Ming came here to build an altar to seek the east wind, then I will help you."

After saying this, Qin Tian waved slightly.

In just an instant, the wind and clouds changed, and the northwest wind howled and gradually disappeared.

The air suddenly became quiet, as if no sound could be heard.

Between heaven and earth, everything is silent.

"Since we are attacking with fire, we also need clear weather, so I will guarantee you no rain for three days."

"However, in order to prevent the fire from spreading, a heavy rain will fall in three days and put out all the fires. You need to be careful and fight as quickly as possible."

After Qin Tian finished speaking, the east wind roared in the air instantly.

"East wind, east wind is coming!"

The roar of the wind vaguely carried the shouts of the soldiers at the foot of the mountain.

Zhuge Liang bowed deeply to Qin Tian.

"Liang, thank you very much!"

Zhuge Liang came down the mountain to meet Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu's eyes were blazing: "The military advisor is really powerful, but within a moment the east wind roared in!"

Zhuge Liang smiled mysteriously and did not answer.

"Since the east wind has arrived, why don't the governor hurry up and make preparations?"

"That's natural!"

Zhou Yu immediately ordered Huang Gai to deliver a letter of surrender to Cao Cao.

That night, Huang Gai prepared dozens of mengchong and fighting ships, loaded with firewood and ointment.

At the same time, the outside of the ship was camouflaged with a red curtain, a tooth flag was placed on it, and a walking boat was tied behind the ship to ensure safety.

Everything was ready, Huang Gai sailed the ship and approached Cao Ying.

Since he had received Huang Gai's letter of surrender in advance, Cao Cao did not make any preparations.

At first, some people were worried that this was a false surrender, but Cao Cao found that Huang Gai didn't bring many people and decided that the other party was not a threat.

Moreover, the war was now at a stalemate, and it was becoming more and more dangerous as it dragged on. Cao Cao urgently needed a breakthrough to open up the war situation, so he still suppressed his criticism and was prepared to take the risk and accept Huang Gai's surrender.

If this matter is false, it will only cause some commotion.

But if it is true, it will greatly damage the opponent's morale and weaken Zhou Yu's side, which is very important for the next battle.

Moreover, Cao Cao found out that Huang Gai and Zhou Yu were indeed at odds, and Zhou Yu even whipped Huang Gai in public.

Therefore, Cao Cao determined that Huang Gai's surrender was not a fraud.

When Huang Gai approached Cao Cao's camp, Cao Cao noticed from a distance that there were not many people and ships with Huang Gai. He knew in his heart that these people could not make much waves, so he was not too vigilant.

After approaching Cao Ying, Huang Gai found that the opponent was unprepared. Huang Gai was overjoyed and ordered some firewood to be lit. At the same time, he set fire to the fire. The fleet on fire took advantage of the wind and sailed forward quickly towards Cao Ying.

The east wind became more and more fierce, and the fire took advantage of the wind to reach a height of more than ten feet.

Cao Cao never expected that the other party would be so ruthless and use such a suicidal attack.

Because Cao Ying was not prepared at all, the ships from both sides came into contact in just an instant.

In an instant, the fire and wind were fierce, and because these ships were connected together by Cao Cao with iron ropes, in just a moment, the entire navy was ablaze!

Under such a suicidal attack, Huang Gai would most likely not survive.

But whether it was luck or misfortune, Huang Gai was unfortunately hit by a stray arrow and fell into the water.

Seeing the raging fire burning in Cao's camp, the Sun and Liu coalition forces had already been prepared and rushed forward.

On the way, Huang Gai was lucky enough to be rescued by Wu Jun.

But Wu Jun didn't recognize Huang Gai and placed him in the toilet bed at will.

Huang Gai was already burned by the fire and hit by an arrow, making him extremely weak.

Seeing that no one was treating him, Huang Gai had no choice but to shout for Han Dang.

When Han Dang found him, Huang Gai was already dying. The cloth on his body was burned by the fire and connected with the ulcerated skin, and he could hardly be seen as a human being.

Han Dang untied Huang Gai's clothes with tears in his eyes, and immediately sent someone to treat him. Only then did Huang Gai survive.

The east wind became more and more fierce, and the fire in the entire Cao Camp actually burned a full three feet high, and even spread to the camps on the shore!

Thick smoke and fierce fire blocked the sky and the sun. After this battle, countless Cao soldiers and horses were burned to death and drowned, and they almost lost any combat effectiveness!

Under the Yangtze River, two little guys were attracted by the shouts of death above the river and stuck their heads out to watch.

The two were shocked when they saw the fire on the shore.

Even Ling Xia, who was good at fire magic, couldn't achieve such power for a while.

The power of a mortal is so terrifying.

Especially the soldiers on the shore who were burned by the flames fell into the water like dumplings, only to be caught by the Sun Wu sailor who had been waiting under the water for a long time. He raised his knife and dropped it, taking his life!

The smell of blood, burning wood, and burnt skin in the air are intertwined, the stench is extremely stench, and it's disgusting!

Lingxia and Muchun were both stunned.

It was their first time to watch a mortal war, and they saw such a tragic scene. They were speechless and choked for a moment.

If this continues, I am afraid that Cao Cao and others will not have time to retreat, and everyone will be burned alive in Cao's camp!

Muchun really couldn't stand the tragedy of this hell on earth.

The cries and cries of pain that came from the air were like demonic sounds penetrating his ears, making Muchun unbearable.

She revealed her true form as a white dragon, and in an instant, a stream of nectar fell from the sky, reducing the intensity of the fire.

However, how can a fire be extinguished by a burst of nectar?

But when Muchun showed his true body, his huge body immediately shocked all the soldiers present, and for a moment no one moved rashly.

Some ignorant soldiers fell to the ground and knelt down one after another, begging God to let them live.

The direction of the manna was obviously Cao Ying, so the Sun and Liu coalitions hesitated.

Is it possible that Cao Cao had immortals to help him and the Sun-Liu coalition should not have won this battle?

Muchun wanted to do something more, but a sigh came from the air.

The nectar disappeared, Muchun's figure shrank rapidly, and soon disappeared.

"This...what the hell is going on?"

Zhou Yu looked at the place in the sky where the white dragon had long since disappeared, and felt his mouth was dry. "Could it be that Cao Ah Man really has destiny? Even Bai Long came to take care of him?"

Zhuge Liang sighed slightly on the side.

"Maybe it's because God has a good nature and doesn't want to see such a miserable situation of hell on earth."

Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan lightly and said: "In this case, it is better to decide the battle quickly, don't delay it."

After Zhou Yu heard this, he no longer hesitated.

I originally wanted to wait for the fire to dissipate and inflict greater losses on Cao's army before marching again.

Now that the fire has become smaller, no longer wait, send people to attack directly, and end the battle as soon as possible!

Zhou Yu also wanted to see if he could catch Cao Cao, so that he could be saved once and for all!

However, Cao Cao was still clever. Seeing that the situation was not good, he led his men to escape long ago.

It's just that the fire was too fierce. In a panic, Cao Cao's back was hit by a fallen pillar, and his flesh and blood suddenly became bloody!

Even so, Cao Cao was finally able to escape while the fire weakened.

After leaving, Cao Cao knew that this battle was a huge defeat and that he would never be able to dominate the world in a short time, so he could only try to do it slowly.

Moreover, Cao's army suffered numerous losses in the Battle of Chibi, and when the news came back, he was afraid that the power in the rear would be unstable, so he did not hesitate.

After only a brief treatment, Cao Cao immediately retreated to Jiangling, while he took his people back to Luoyang, hoping to stabilize the people of the court as soon as possible.

Cao Cao fled so fast that he even lost some cities.

Liu Bei and Sun Quan were so busy accepting the power left by Cao Cao that they failed to seize the opportunity to capture Cao Cao alive.

Although they all knew that catching Cao Cao was the top priority, too many things happened in a hurry, and there was no time to set up an ambush in advance.

After all, Liu Bei and Sun Quan's combat power is weaker than Cao Cao's. What they need to face at the beginning is to block Cao Cao's offensive.

Although the victory in the Battle of Chibi was great, just stabilizing the battle situation required a lot of manpower and material resources. There was no time to ambush Cao Cao.

Therefore, although Cao Cao retreated, although he was not ambushed, there were pursuers behind him.

And on the third day after the Battle of Chibi, the heavy rain came as expected.

If it hadn't been for this heavy rain, I'm afraid the fire would have burned for seven days and seven nights, and all life would have been ruined!

The heavy rain extinguished the fire, but also made the pursuit of Liu Bei, Sun Quan and others very difficult.

Similarly, Cao Cao also needs to face this problem.

The road was muddy and the heavy rain showed no sign of stopping, making the march very difficult.

But if he waited for the heavy rain to end, Cao Cao was worried that the coalition forces of Sun and Liu would send people to catch up, so he could only march in the rain.

When they arrived at Huarong Road, the pursuers behind them had already caught up.

Fortunately, the weather was bad and the battlefield was very chaotic, and Cao Cao was finally able to escape.

After all, Cao Cao was injured. When he was caught in the heavy rain, his old injury relapsed, and he fell ill before he even arrived in Luoyang.

When the news came, Sun Quan and Liu Bei were immediately shocked!

Without Cao Cao to stabilize the morale of the army, rumors suddenly spread in Cao Ying.

When the news came back to Luoyang, Cao Pi actually showed unimaginable decisiveness.

He immediately decided to give up all the gains in this war and ordered the army to retreat in an orderly manner. If someone came to attack, there was no need to resist.

The city can be abandoned, just to bring the army and Cao Cao back as soon as possible!

Sun Quan and Liu Bei never expected that Cao Pi would be so determined to cut off his own strength, and they actually delayed for seven days before officially launching a counterattack!

But it's not their fault. It takes time to mobilize soldiers, how to attack, and how to divide strength and territory. Negotiations also take time.

So when Liu Bei and Sun Quan rushed over, they saw a city with almost no one garrisoned!

Two cities in one city look like this, and many cities in a row look like this, which is enough to make people suspicious!

Even the most critical places such as Jingzhou had almost no defenders, which made Sun and Liu call it a pity.

If we can seize the time, I am afraid that the results of this victory can be expanded again, and it is not impossible to even counterattack Cao Cao!

The one who regretted it even more was Liu Bei.

Because his troops were weak and could not catch up with Sun Quan's speed, the most critical Jingzhou fell into Sun Quan's hands.

This forced Liu Bei to borrow Jingzhou from Sun Quan at a greater cost.

This also paved the way for the Sun and Liu families to fall out in the future.

If Muchun hadn't intervened in this fire attack, I'm afraid Cao Cao would have been burned to death on the spot in Cao Cao's camp.

Although Cao Cao saved his life, he was still seriously ill and didn't know if he could survive this time.

If you can get through it, things may turn around.

If he can't survive it, I'm afraid that Cao Cao will not only gain nothing from his trip south this time, but will actually vomit out everything he has eaten before!

One month after the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao finally returned to Luoyang.

Fortunately, under Cao Pi's careful care, Cao Cao was able to save his life. Unfortunately, his vitality was severely damaged, and he was seriously ill, and it looked like he would only have a few years to live.

Even so, Cao Cao quickly stabilized people's hearts when he came forward and ensured the stability of the rear government, so that the losses were not further expanded.

After Cao Cao came forward, the situation in the Eastern Han Dynasty stabilized, which also caused Liu Bei and Sun Quan, who had been waiting to see whether to advance, to give up their thoughts of attacking.

Cao Cao came forward and took advantage of the chaos in Cao Cao's camp to quickly capture the north. It was basically impossible.

In this case, why not seize the time to absorb and digest the results left after defeating Cao Cao.

Only in this way can the situation of the Three Kingdoms be completely determined.

Cao Cao was also a hero. Knowing that there was no hope of going south in a short time, he actually tried his best to shrink the defensive circle without giving Sun and Liu a chance.

At the same time, internally, he vigorously eradicated dissidents to prevent anyone from causing trouble.

Under Cao Cao's iron-fisted rule, the situation actually stabilized.

Sun Quan and Liu Bei had just defeated Cao Cao together at this time, and their relationship was in the honeymoon period, with no barriers between the two sides.

Even in Jingzhou, Sun Quan borrowed it whenever he asked.

Sun Quan even married his Sun Shangxiang to Liu Bei to deepen the relationship between the two parties.

Liu Bei was also very happy to borrow Jingzhou from Sun Quan. In this way, according to Zhuge Liang's Longzhong plan, he only needs to capture Yizhou next, and great things can be accomplished!

Strike while the iron is hot, after Liu Bei stabilized the situation slightly, he immediately prepared to take Yizhou.

Liu Zhang, the governor of Yizhou, saw that the situation was not good, so he sent someone to ask for surrender, expressing his willingness to obey Liu Bei's order!

After taking Jingzhou and then Yizhou, Liu Bei is now very proud and happy.

Sun Quan also gained a lot from this battle.

After Cao Cao recovered, in order to prevent Sun Quan, he actually forced the people of Huainan to move inward.

This move naturally caused panic and dissatisfaction among more than 100,000 households in Jianghuai.

Sun Quan saw the right opportunity and took action decisively. More than half of the more than 100,000 households totaling 3.5 million people crossed the river to join Sun Quan.

In addition, there are many gains.

The Battle of Chibi had a profound impact. Only Cao Cao was injured, and the three-legged confrontation was officially formed!

Upon seeing this, Cao Cao knew in his heart that his desire to dominate the world had become a delusion. He was weak and feared that he would die soon.

So he took the lead in issuing a request for talents, hoping to get help from more capable people with lofty ideals.

This brilliant article brought Cao Cao many scholars, but his subsequent actions consumed all the good reputation brought by the Order of Seeking Talent!
