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

Chapter 224 The overall situation is decided, Soochow is destroyed

Cao Cao vigorously eliminated dissidents in the court, and it wasn't long before he even "did not follow the rules when entering the court, but went to the palace with swords and shoes"!

As for worshiping the unknown, it has already been achieved.

Regarding rebellion in later generations, the three steps of rebellion are to praise and worship the unknown, to enter the court without following, and to go to the palace with swords.

What it means is that there is no need to pay attention to any rules when meeting the emperor.

Those who can do this either save the emperor's life and are deeply trusted by the emperor, or they are basically equivalent to the de facto emperor.

Cao Cao is obviously the latter.

At this time, the so-called Eastern Han Dynasty actually existed in name only. Cao Cao could proclaim himself emperor at any time depending on when he wanted to ascend the throne.

When the news came, everyone's thoughts were aroused.

As soon as Cao Cao proclaims himself emperor, Liu Bei and Sun Quan will immediately follow and proclaim themselves emperor together!

……

When Zhuge Liang saw Qin Tian again, it was already eight months after the Battle of Chibi.

"Kong Ming really made me wait."

Qin Tian seemed to blame him.

As soon as Muchun appeared that day, he was called back by Qin Tian.

Of course Qin Tian knew how Muchun was feeling, but he also knew that Muchun could not be allowed to interfere with the mortal battlefield.

Mortal affairs were left to mortals to resolve. If Mu Chun took action, he would probably be tainted with great karma given his cultivation.

Qin Tian's move to attract Dongfeng had little impact.

Firstly, this is because the east wind is actually destined, Qin Tian just summoned it in advance.

Even if he didn't take action, the east wind would arrive as scheduled in a day at most.

Secondly, it was because Qin Tian only helped and did not directly destroy the enemy.

That was an army of hundreds of thousands. If they were to intervene directly, not to mention Mu Chun's level of cultivation, even Qin Tian would be unable to escape.

In order to ensure his own freedom, he also needs to spend tens or hundreds of years to resolve the cause and effect on his body.

So Qin Tian called Muchun back as soon as he appeared.

After returning, Muchun was obviously a little sad.

"Master, why do they treat their compatriots like this?"

She was obviously shocked by what she saw.

Muchun never thought that humans could be such cruel creatures.

Mu Chun couldn't bear to see the soldiers howling in the fire.

"Ugh……"

Qin Tian didn't know how to answer.

"Perhaps humans are such creatures."

"When your mood improves, you may be able to understand."

Seeing that Muchun seemed a little confused, Qin Tian pointed out a way for Muchun.

"Perhaps you can go to the human world and see what the rich and powerful people think, and then compare it with ordinary people, and you can probably understand something."

So after the Battle of Chibi, Muchun left Chibi with Lingxia and the others to go to the human world to see what humans really think.

Qin Tianze has been waiting for Zhuge Liang's arrival in Chibi.

However, there were so many things going on after the Battle of Chibi that Zhuge Liang never had time to spare.

During this period, he had time to visit Chibi, but Qin Tian told him that the matter was unfinished and that he would come to look for him again after at least seven days had been spared.

That time, Zhuge Liang never even saw Qin Tian's face.

It's time to receive the results of the battle, not to mention seven days, I'm afraid Zhuge Liang won't even be able to spare one day.

So he had no choice but to go down the mountain and deal with the aftermath.

It was eight months later when I came to see Qin Tian again.

"Liang's abilities are limited, I hope the immortal will forgive me!"

Zhuge Liang also looked guilty.

To this day, the hundreds of kilograms of seeds in his arms are still in his arms and have not been taken out.

Although he knew it was fairy food, Zhuge Liang was still confused about how to grow it.

Since the immortal gave him the seeds but did not give him the method to cultivate them, it must be that the immortal had some intention, so Zhuge Liang did not take them out.

"Now that we're here, there won't be any more nonsense."

Qin Tian pointed his finger, and Zhuge Liang's eyes instantly became dull.

After much deliberation, Qin Tian decided to help Zhuge Liang.

Cao Cao's military discipline was too poor. Everywhere his army went, they would burn and rob the city. He didn't like Cao Cao.

The same is true for Sun Quan, who focuses on the small gains in front of him and has no great righteousness in his heart.

Only Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang can gain the eyes of Qin Tian.

Therefore, he decided to help Zhuge Liang and gave Zhuge Liang this kind of food.

If Zhuge Liang can seize the opportunity and dominate the world, Qin Tian's help will not be in vain.

It doesn't matter if they fail. It can only be said that their abilities are limited. The method of cultivating corn and sweet potatoes can be spread throughout the country with the unification of the world.

In this way, people in the following dynasties will surely suffer less.

This time Qin Tian gave Zhuge Liang, in addition to farming methods, there were also some improvements and developments in farming technology.

With this knowledge, writing agricultural books can save China's farming technology from detours of 500 years!

Especially the intercropping technology is enough to at least double the current grain production!

With this technology, people can live a good life for at least hundreds of years.

"I don't know if it's right or wrong, so just do it like this..."

Qin Tian sighed and then disappeared.

When Zhuge Liang woke up again, it was already three days later.

Finding that there was no one in front of him, Zhuge Liang burst into tears and bowed heavily to the void.

"On behalf of all the people in the world, Liang thanks the immortal for his gift!"

Returning to Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang did not hesitate. He locked himself in a room for seven days and nights, and wrote down all the knowledge Qin Tian had imparted to him into a book.

The improved papermaking technology, the extremely cheap movable type printing technology, and various advanced farming technologies are all available in this book.

In order to commemorate Qin Tian's contribution, this book was named Qin Shu!

Naturally, farming techniques could not be concealed, so dozens of copies were quickly copied and handed over to people Liu Bei trusted enough to learn.

The corn and sweet potatoes were also planted by Zhuge Liang, and in up to five years, they could be promoted to the entire territory under Liu Bei's command.

Papermaking and movable type printing were regarded as top secrets and were treasured by Liu Bei. He opened his own factory for papermaking and printing.

With the help of high-yield grain and new cheap paper and books, Liu Bei's forces developed rapidly.

Three years after the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao finally couldn't hold it any longer and forced Emperor Xian of Han to abdicate the throne, proclaimed himself emperor, and was known as Cao Wei in history.

Liu Bei and Sun Quan followed suit and established Shu Han and Soochow respectively.

At this point, the situation of the Three Kingdoms was officially formed.

After Liu Bei became emperor, he immediately unified all the forces in Shu. It only took three years. This speed shocked everyone in the world.

The cheap books and papers sold by Liu Bei also won the hearts of many scholars, and countless talents from all over the world came to join him.

This made Cao Cao extremely angry but helpless.

The emergence of corn and sweet potatoes made the people under Liu Bei's command extremely prosperous, opening up a clear gap with Wei and Wu.

At this time, Sun Quan discovered that Liu Bei was getting bigger and wanted to take Jingzhou back to guard against Liu Bei. But Liu Bei was unwilling to return it. He only said that he would return Jingzhou when he captured Liangzhou.

As a result, the relationship between the two parties quickly deteriorated, creating some gaps.

But at this time, the two sides have not officially turned against each other.

Seven years after the Battle of Chibi, in 215 AD, Cao Cao finally failed to survive the winter and died, and his son Cao Pi ascended the throne.

In fact, as early as 214, Cao Cao could hardly get out of bed and spent very little time awake every day.

Being able to delay his death until the winter of 214 was already a fateful event for him.

Cao Cao's death brought considerable turmoil to Cao Wei, so Sun and Liu seized the opportunity and began to devour Cao Wei's territory.

But after all, Cao Wei's foundation was behind him, and his son Cao Pi was not an easy person, so he quickly stabilized the battle situation and even launched a counterattack!

In the next three years, there was no war. All three parties were busy developing themselves and preparing for the upcoming decisive battle!

In 218 AD, Sun and Liu completely broke apart, and the reason was still Jingzhou, which Liu Bei had been unwilling to return.

Sun Quan sent Lu Meng to attack Changsha, Lingling and Guiyang counties.

Liu Bei then led 50,000 troops to the police station and allowed Guan Yu to enter Yiyang.

Before Cao Pi could react, Sun Quan was shocked by how quickly the war ended.

Because the strength displayed by Liu Bei's side in this battle was beyond everyone's imagination.

There is a very obvious strength gap between the 50,000 elite soldiers and Sun Quan's army.

Neither side looks like an army from the same era.

The former has strong soldiers and horses, and is well equipped. Although the latter is not weak in strength, it pales in comparison to Liu Bei!

The technologies that Qin Tian gave to Zhuge Liang finally appeared in this world after ten years of development.

The technology he taught may seem inconspicuous, but it affects the national power of Shu Han in all aspects.

The emergence of corn, sweet potatoes and farming technology has greatly increased the difficulty of farming and food production.

The past ten years can be said to be the best days that the people of Shu Han have lived in thousands of years. Almost every year is the best.

The people of Shu actually live a richer life than the people of the richest place in the south of the Yangtze River!

The cheap book paper brought by papermaking attracted a large number of scholars to seek refuge.

Liu Bei knew people well and even started to set up schools to teach people how to read.

At Zhuge Liang's suggestion, Liu Bei even created the imperial examination system five hundred years in advance, providing room for advancement for lower-level scholars.

The imperial examination system here is actually very different from the imperial examination system at its true peak in later generations.

If you really want to say it, it is actually not much different from the imperial examination system in the Tang Dynasty, and the imperial examination system at this time was still unclear.

Although it is said to be an imperial examination system, it actually has little to do with real white people. Very few civilians can jump through class through this system.

But this is already a huge improvement compared to other forces in this era.

Even if the so-called imperial examination system is not obscure, there is huge room for cheating.

Therefore, the imperial examination system established by Liu Bei only gave the scholars at the bottom a room for advancement, not the common people at the bottom.

Even so, the implementation of such a policy also brought great pressure to Liu Bei.

Fortunately, it was finally implemented, and this policy also caused the literacy rate of the Shu Han people to soar.

Similarly, there are more and more literate people in the army.

What this brings is a great improvement in the quality of the military.

Orders and prohibitions are no longer a distant dream for the Shu Han army.

After ten years of development, Shuhan's strength has reached a level that is unimaginable to ordinary people!

Now that his face has been broken, Liu Bei will no longer hide it and launches an attack!

In just one year, the cities of Soochow were captured one after another.

Seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly dangerous, Sun Quan had no choice but to ask Cao Wei for help.

Of course Cao Pi knew the meaning of lips dying and teeth falling cold.

If Soochow is gone, with Liu Bei's current strength, I'm afraid it won't take much effort to win over him.

In 219 AD, Soochow Wu and Cao Wei formally formed an alliance to jointly fight against Liu Bei.

Former enemies became friends, former friends became enemies.

This kind of change is really unexpected and not urgent.

But facing the attack from both countries at the same time, Liu Bei was calm and calm.

In the two-front war, Liu Bei was not under any pressure at all, and he advanced steadily. He was even more unstoppable, and he almost never suffered any defeat!

From the declaration of war with Soochow in 218 to the demise of Soochow in 220, it only took two years and seven months.

In August 220 AD, Sun Quan knew that there was no hope of revenge and had no choice but to surrender.

If it were anyone else, Sun Quan would fight to the death.

But who told Liu Bei's wife to be Sun Shangxiang, his sister?

It is precisely because of such a relationship that Liu Bei did not encounter much difficulty when he conquered Soochow.

After all, the relationship between the two parties can be said to be very delicate.

This made Cao Pi furious, but he was helpless.

After unifying Jiangdong, Cao Wei was just a grasshopper after the autumn, and could not jump around for a few days.

After regaining Jiangdong, Liu Bei spent three years to appease and stabilize the rear.

In 223 AD, Liu Bei officially launched an attack on Cao Wei, preparing to unify the world.

It's just that it's different from regaining Jiangdong. The north is not that easy to conquer.

But Liu Bei is very powerful, so he doesn't have to worry. He just needs to fight steadily, and he will be able to dominate the world in a few years.

It's just that there is not much time left for Liu Bei.

In 225 AD, Liu Bei died of illness. Before his death, he asked Zhuge Liang to help him.

"If you are ten times as talented as Cao Pi, you will surely be able to secure the country and resolve major events. If your heir can assist you, then assist him; if he is not talented, you can take care of yourself."

Liu Bei's words are sincere.

He knew that without him, Liu Chan might not be able to suppress Sun Quan. If Liu Chan could not be put to great use, I am afraid that his foundation would be handed over to others.

Zhuge Liang cried and accepted the imperial edict.

He knew that Liu Bei's words were not a joke, let alone to win people's hearts.

Liu Bei even directly gave everyone an order that if Zhuge Liang ascended the throne, no one could stop him.

It is precisely because of this that Zhuge Liang was even more moved.

At the same time, Liu Bei asked Prince Liu Chan to treat Zhuge Liang like his father, and warned: "Do not do evil because it is small, and do not do good because it is small."

It's just that Liu Bei's worries did not come true in the end.

Zhuge Liang is not as benevolent as Liu Bei, he can even be said to be ruthless.

In the second year after Liu Bei's death, Sun Quan "accidentally contracted a cold and died of illness in Chengdu" at the age of forty-four.

Although Liu Chan was incompetent, he always kept Liu Bei's teachings in mind, listened to his father-in-law's words in everything, and did not dare to go beyond them.

Zhuge Liang has become the de facto emperor of the Shu Han Dynasty, and the whole government is controlled by one person.

Even though there were many criticisms at the time, Zhuge Liang had no intention of avoiding it.
