The Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms: The Evil God Arrives

Chapter 269 A Group of People Who Don’t Know How to Make Progress
Perhaps it was because Li Ru, Jia Xu and others did not hide their thoughts, so Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai and others easily saw a hint of doubt in their facial expressions.

Chen Xi and Zhao Yun obviously knew why Yang Ji was not suitable to participate in the Jingling Hall ceremony.

The biggest thing that Chen Xi, Zhao Yun and Yang Ji have in common is that they all followed Liu Bei during the Hulao Pass period, and they are all martial artists with the ability to separate internal energy from their bodies.

Although Lu Su, Fan Qin and Jian Yong participated in the construction work during the development period of Mount Tai.

However, compared with those who have followed Liu Bei since the Hulao Pass period, he is still a little lacking in qualifications.

Therefore, it is normal that they are not clear about some original information or cannot react immediately. After all, some things always require experience.

However, compared to those people on their side who were completely in the dark and had no idea what was going on, Lu Su and others had been with Yang Ji for a longer time.

As long as Yang Ji and others did not deliberately block some information, they would still react to it.

Just like now, Lu Su, Fan Qin, Jian Yong have already seemed to have suddenly realized something and have joined in teasing Yang Ji.

However, people like Li Ru, Jia Xu, Man Chong and Liu Ye put away their doubts and put on a thoughtful expression.

Li Ru looked up at Yang Ji, who had an expressionless face, and said, "This is the final confirmation of those rumors."

Li Ru turned his head and looked at Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai and others who were chatting enthusiastically in the local area voice transmission network.

Li Ru couldn't help but sigh, these guys really thought that the people present couldn't hear their voice transmission.

Xun Yu and his team are now using the most primitive local sound transmission secret technique, which is the first version developed by Yang Ji.

The reason why they gave them the initial version of the secret technique was to allow them to add link keys to the underlying architecture of the secret technique themselves.

As a result, it was unexpected that after so many days, these guys were still using the initial version of the secret technique.

Not to mention the update and iteration of the secret version, even the link key is not set.

Li Ru didn't know what to say. No wonder Chen Xi and Yang Ji didn't take Cao Cao and others seriously.

After all, it's rare to find someone who has no sense of defense.

Well, according to Yang Ji, they should be a group of primitive people who have never seen what is called technological crushing.

It is clear that the Fenggao Government Affairs Office has already opened up most of its technologies and technological creations to them.

Why don’t they realize the terrifying repressive power brought about by technological iteration and the advanced productivity brought about by advanced technology?
Just like the local sound transmission secret technique they are using now, do they really think that this initial secret technique is for them?
The original intention of giving them the initial secret technique was to let them understand the basic framework and organizational structure of this secret technique.

Then they fill the underlying structure of this secret technique with their own understanding and imagination of the secret technique and construct their own secret technique.

By the way, let them learn some of the ideas and secret techniques of these top wise men.

This method was proposed by Chen Xi. After all, the only two people in Fenggao who can really develop and understand the secret art of development are Yang Ji and Zhao Yun.

As for the others, although they can also develop various secret techniques, compared to Yang Ji and Zhao Yun, it is better for them to fill in, complete and iterate the initial secret techniques created by Yang Ji and Zhao Yun.

So, when Li Ru saw that Xun Yu and the others actually used the first edition of the secret technique as the final edition, he really wanted to laugh.

……

While Chen Xi and others were busy transforming themselves into happy believers and teasing Yang Ji, Ju Su, the envoy sent by Yuan Shao, finally arrived in Fenggao from Yecheng.

After more than half a month of slow marching, Yuan Shao finally withdrew his army smoothly from Jie Bridge back to Yecheng.

However, when Yuan Shao withdrew his troops, he forcibly collected food rations from the people in the counties along the way.

As a result, Yuan Shao had to send out the original Yecheng garrison to appease the people whose food supplies had been robbed.

By the way, Yuan Shao also had to draw grain and fodder from granaries all over Jizhou to provide relief to the people whose food he had robbed.

Because when Guo Jia relocated the people in the counties near Jie Bridge, he also spread the news of what Yuan Shao had done to the entire Jizhou.

Combined with what Yuan Shao did along the way when he withdrew his troops from Yecheng, most of the people in Jizhou began to waver in their faith in Yuan Shao's rule.

Moreover, when Guo Jia retreated, he left a team of white horse volunteers in the Jie Qiao camp.

Let this team of White Horse Volunteers bring to Qingzhou those people who are dissatisfied with Yuan Shao’s rule and want to live in another place.

If Yuan Shao did not open the granaries to release grain, it is estimated that the number of Jizhou people brought back by the Baima Yicong who stayed in Jieqiao in the past half month would be more than 5,000.

The common people and famous scholars in Jizhou, as well as the famous scholars in other states and counties, were also keeping an eye on Yuan Shao.

If Yuan Shao did not take any action, those upright and famous scholars organized by Liu Yan would not care whether Yuan Shao was the son of the Yuan family, which had been a family of three generations of officials for four generations.

Under pressure from all sides, Yuan Shao had to draw grain and fodder from granaries all over Jizhou and return enough food for the winter to the people whose food had been robbed.

As for Yuan Shao, he was forced to open the granaries and release grain due to pressure from the famous scholars of the Han Dynasty.

It was because the rioting people had shaken Yuan Shao's rule in Jizhou, so Yuan Shao chose to open the granaries and release grain.

It no longer matters why Yuan Shao chose to open the granaries and release grain.

What’s important is that the people who were looted by Yuan Shao’s army finally had enough food to survive the winter with Yuan Shao’s relief.

This was enough, and it was not in vain that Liu Bei specifically instructed Guo Jia to think of a way to let Yuan Shao open his warehouses and release grain to help the people.

Ju Su was originally stationed in Bohai County, but in order to quickly appease the people who had already begun to think about breaking away from Yuan Shao's rule.

Yuan Shao ordered Ju Su to draw grain and fodder from the granary in Bohai County, and set out from Bohai County to provide relief to the people whose food had been robbed along the route of Yuan Shao's army's retreat.

Shen Pei and his men set out from Yecheng and distributed food rations to the people along the way towards Jieqiao.

After pacifying the people along the way, Yuan Shao ordered Ju Shou and Xun Chen to rush to Fenggao to attend Chen Xi's wedding and take a look at the Jingling Hall sacrifice organized by Liu Bei.

The reason why Ju Shou and Xun Chen were asked to come together was mainly because Yuan Shao and others wanted to feel out Liu Bei's attitude towards Jizhou.

After all, many members of the Xun family, including Xun Shuang, Xun Yu, Xun You, were in Fenggao, so it was not a noteworthy thing for Xun Chen to come and pay a visit.

Of course, if that were the case, it would be enough to let Ju Shou come alone. After all, both Xun Yu and Xun You, uncle and nephew, are under Liu Bei's command, and there is no guarantee that they will not force Xun Chen to stay.

Although the top aristocratic families would not place the top talents they have cultivated under the command of the same prince, it is inevitable that Liu Bei would have some inappropriate thoughts.

From the abilities of Xun Yu and Xun You, the uncle and nephew, we can know how powerful Xun Chen, who is also the top figure in the Xun family, is.

Although Xun Chen was outside Yuan Shao's core circle, he never gave his full effort under Yuan Shao.

However, Xun Chen's ability is obvious to all. Therefore, even if Xun Chen is still outside Yuan Shao's core, Yuan Shao has to guard against Xun Chen being poached by Liu Bei.

The reason why Yuan Shao still sent Xun Chen over was that he wanted Xun Chen to find Xun Yu and other members of the Xun family to gather some information.

He also planned to let Xun Chen use his spiritual talent to find out what the civil and military officials in Fenggao were thinking about Jizhou's future.

Originally, Yuan Shao and his men did not know what Xun Chen's spiritual talent was. After all, it was the symbol and trump card of a top wise man and would not be easily shown to others.

However, the letter sent by Xun Shuang forced Xun Chen to go to Fenggao.

After all, Xun Chen is a top wise man trained by the Xun family. How could he not care about the family that trained him?

Therefore, Xun Chen found an opportunity to accidentally reveal his spiritual talent, and after certain people knew about it, they reported it to Yuan Shao.

Then let Yuan Shao send him to Fenggao, and it would be best if someone could accompany him to Fenggao.

Looking at the towering city wall in front of him and the flashing lights on the wall from time to time, Ju Su frowned.

"This shouldn't be the city wall that has been warmed by the clouds and air, right?" Ju Su asked Xun Chen, who was traveling with him, with some uncertainty.

Ju Su suspected that the city wall in front of him was a spectacle specially created by Liu Bei and others in order to intimidate the princes who came to congratulate him.

Compared to Xun Chen, who came from a top family, Ju Shou was still somewhat unfamiliar with these strange techniques.

However, Ju Shou did not quite believe that the city wall in front of him had been nurtured by the internal qi.

To successfully nurture a giant building like a city wall, one must consume time and allow the clouds to gradually infiltrate and nourish the city wall.

It has only been a short time since Fenggao City was rebuilt. Where is the time for the clouds to condense and penetrate, permeate and nourish?

Xun Chen did not answer Ju Su immediately, but activated the secret technique that Xun Shuang had sent along with the letter.

With just one glance, Xun Chen retracted his eyes that were almost blinded by the light, closed his own eyes, and began to think about what his uncle had told him.

Damn, there is a master in Fenggao City who has actually mastered the secret technique of warming and nourishing the clouds.

Moreover, even a huge building like a city wall could be completed in such a short time. Xun Chen couldn't even imagine how much well-maintained equipment was accumulated in the warehouses of the two states and three counties under Liu Bei's rule.

By the way, it has been two years since Liu Bei took control of Mount Tai?

Xun Chen sighed and said to Ju Shou: "This city wall has indeed been nurtured."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Ju Su interrupted Xun Chen directly.

"How could a city wall of this scale be built in such a short time?" Ju Shou shook his head rapidly.

Xun Chen was not in a hurry to refute Ju Shou. After all, if it weren't for the secret technique sent by his uncle Xun Shuang, he wouldn't have believed it even when he saw the Wen Yang City Wall of this scale.

It’s just that, “the Cloud Qi Warming and Nourishing Secret Technique, they have already completed the development of the Cloud Qi Warming and Nourishing Secret Technique.” Xun Chen said very calmly.

Ju Su's pupils shrank, and he said in disbelief: "The information from Old Yuan's family turned out to be true!?"

Xun Chen nodded silently, and said in a complicated tone: "The secret technique I used just now was sent to Yecheng by my uncle from Fenggao.

They basically didn’t hide the more commonly used secret techniques, but displayed them clearly.”

Ju Su closed his eyes, and when he opened them again there was no more shock on his face.

"The outcome is still unknown!" After saying this, Ju Su got off Xun Chen's carriage and returned to his own carriage.

Looking at Ju Shou's back, Xun Chen sighed imperceptibly, [Yeah, the outcome is still unknown...]

Xun Chen looked at the towering city wall in front of him with dark eyes, with inexplicable emotions churning in his heart.

If you ask how loyal Xun Chen was to Yuan Shao, even Xun Chen himself would probably shake his head.

Yuan Shao was not his own choice. The reason he followed his family's arrangement and came to Yuan Shao's side was because of that.

It was just because Xun Yu and Xun You chose Cao Cao, and he did not favor a wise ruler in troubled times.

-

"You two, please!" Hua Xiong finally arrived at the city gate from the library.

Ju Shou and Xun Chen opened the curtain of the carriage and looked at the sturdy middle-aged man in front of them.

After passing Hua Xiong, the sight came to a city patrol team brought by Hua Xiong, which were elite veterans over the age limit who had just retired from the front-line combat sequence.

Xun Chen and Ju Shou looked at these patrol brigades which were obviously not in combat formation but were no less elite than the elite of their Jizhou main combat corps.

Xun Chen sighed again in his heart, while Ju Su became even more silent.

The patrol brigade following behind Hua Xiong was so elite that they could even directly reinforce Jizhou's most powerful vanguard soldiers and halberd soldiers.

But in Fenggao, these elite soldiers actually belong to the urban management force.

Were the veterans under Liu Bei's rule really that wealthy?
Or were these elite soldiers specially prepared by Liu Bei to give the two Jizhou envoys a warning?

Xun Chen and Ju Shou were unaware of these things, and now they had to follow Hua Xiong into Fenggao City.

Because Fenggao City is a commodity trading center, although there are city gate guards, there are no restrictions on the passage of people.

Although Xun Chen and Ju Shou could enter Fenggao City directly, they did not need Hua Xiong's guidance.

However, as envoys of Jizhou, they had to be led by personnel sent by the Fenggao Government Affairs Office before they could enter Fenggao City.

Otherwise, the two of them are not representing Yuan Shao himself, but themselves.

What's more, the current relationship between them and Liu Bei cannot be considered harmonious.

If there were no personnel sent by the Fenggao Government Affairs Office to lead us into Fenggao City, we might have been caught as spies.

Then there is no place to reason.

In particular, Fenggao has displayed many high-end technologies and related creations.

It would be really funny if they were accused of stealing certain technology.
