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

Chapter 457: Prison?

"Do you know which foreign country in the surrounding area is the special profession of this so-called Nangui Brahmin monk?" Pang Tong asked Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang with a frown.

Although the Brahmin monk who assassinated Liu Biao had cultivated great supernatural powers such as the ability to see the future, Pang Tong still subconsciously regarded the assassin as a person from a neighboring foreign country. After all, the great Han Empire dominated the world. Could there be any existence that could compete with the Han Dynasty?
As for the great supernatural power of destiny, although Pang Tong thought this ability was very magical, it was not that the Han Dynasty was without the ability to predict the future, so Pang Tong subconsciously regarded this thing as divination or fortune-telling on the part of the Han Dynasty, or maybe it was someone's talent.

It's just a pity that someone with the ability to predict the future destiny actually ran to the Han Dynasty to cause trouble, and also severely damaged the princes along the way. What's more, he was a relative of the Han Dynasty. It was already a privilege to be hacked to death on the spot.

In other words, the Han Dynasty is now in turmoil. If it were before the chaos, the central government would definitely send troops to destroy the country and its ancestral temples.

A cold light flashed in Pang Tong's eyes. After restoring the unity of the Han Dynasty, he would definitely suggest to Liu Bei to send troops to destroy the so-called Kushan Kingdom. At that time, he would let him serve as the military advisor. The people of a mere small country dared to openly assassinate the relatives of my superior country. It was simply rebellion against the Heavenly Powers. He wanted to make those foreign small countries that had forgotten the glory of the Han Dynasty realize the majesty of the Han Dynasty again.

"Kushan, I seem to have heard this country name somewhere..." Zhuge Liang felt that the name Kushan was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

"And the ability to see the fate of the world, is it a personal talent or a magical power under a certain system?" Compared to Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang, who studied with Li You, had a deeper grasp of certain essential things and would not easily regard the ability to see the fate, which was obviously the crystallization of wisdom from another system, as something dispensable.

"What a pity! That guy foresaw that his memory would be spied on, so he destroyed his own memory directly, resulting in the informant being unable to retrieve his complete memory." Zhuge Liang sighed and said with some regret. If the assassin's memory could be preserved intact, perhaps they could get a glimpse of what the scenery of another system is like.

Seeing Zhuge Liang lost in his own thoughts and muttering to himself with the look of a little charlatan, Pang Tong's eyes twitched. Helplessly, Pang Tong could only look at Sima Yi who was relatively serious next to him.

"Zhongda, where have you seen any records of the Kushan Empire?" Pang Tong left Zhuge Liang and turned to Sima Yi and asked.

"It seems that there is a record in Ban Dingyuan's biography." Sima Yi tried hard to find books that had records of Kushan in his mind, and finally found relevant records about Kushan in "Han Ji" (later known as "Dongguan Han Ji"), which was recompiled by Cai Yong and placed in the Taishan Library.

"Ban Dingyuan's biography?" Pang Tong also recalled the books he had read in the Taishan Library, and then recalled the records about the Kushans.

"More than 70,000 people were wiped out by Ban Dingyuan, who led more than a thousand Han troops and some small fry from the thirty-six countries?" When Pang Tong first saw that the Kushans had sent out 70,000 troops, he was shocked. After all, it was not a small country that could send out 70,000 troops for an expedition to the Western Regions.

However, after seeing that the Kushan vice king was defeated by Ban Chao, who led more than a thousand Han troops and some miscellaneous soldiers from the thirty-six kingdoms, with an army of 70,000, Pang Tong felt that the Kushan was not so good. Oh, this so-called Kushan was actually the Yuezhi, and they had changed their name.

Pang Tong and Sima Yi looked at each other in bewilderment. Did the Kushans bear grudges like this? Or did they bear grudges against the Han Dynasty? Did they want to be destroyed by the Han Dynasty's heavenly soldiers?

Logically speaking, the predecessor of Kushan was Yuezhi, and they should have a relatively deep understanding of the Han Dynasty. They should know what kind of crazy actions the Han Dynasty would take if they carried out such assassination against Han princes.

However, the Brahmin monks from Kushan still attempted to assassinate Liu Biao. Didn't they know that this would completely anger the Han central government?

Although the Han Dynasty is now in a situation where many princes are fighting against each other, as long as this matter gets out, the victorious prince will definitely make a big fuss about it and then gather troops to attack Kushan.

Although a newly unified country needs to rest and recuperate, in the case of the Han Dynasty, no one would choose to rest completely. After all, there are still many people who want to gain military merit from the war.

Moreover, for the central government, it is also beneficial to find an excuse to send troops to attack Kushan, to gather centripetal force, to consume those who are unwilling to do something, etc. In short, it is still necessary to send troops on an expedition.

"Kong Ming, can you understand what the so-called Brahmin nobleman is thinking?" Pang Tong asked Zhuge Liang. Since he is a nobleman and can also cultivate the ability to know the future, this means that the assassin's ability is not weak.

"I think the assassin doesn't know our Han Dynasty's attitude towards foreign races." Zhuge Liang gave this answer after coming back to his senses from his thoughts.

"Ha, Kongming, what do you mean? The Yuezhi were very close to us at the beginning, how could they not know our attitude towards them?" Sima Yi said with some confusion.

"That assassin should not be a Yuezhi noble. If he is, he should not be unaware of our Han Dynasty's attitude towards foreign nations." Zhuge Liang sneered. What about barbarians? It sounds as if there are no such people in the Han Dynasty.

As for why the barbarians have such a great supernatural power as destiny, and can cultivate it or sublimate it by themselves, this is not something Zhuge Liang can guess. Maybe the barbarians have their own cultural heritage.

"I think I understand what Kong Ming means." Pang Tong thought thoughtfully. The so-called Brahmin nobles were probably the barbarians from the land conquered by Yuezhi.

After seeing Pang Tong understood what Zhuge Liang was saying, Sima Yi lowered his head and thought about it, and he also understood why Zhuge Liang said that the assassin did not know the character of the Han Dynasty. The barbarians who had not been beaten by the Han Dynasty really did not know what the attitude of the Han Dynasty was towards them.

"Tsk, so they are the barbarians from the land conquered by Yuezhi." Sima Yi shook his head. No wonder they ran to the land of Han Dynasty and acted wildly. It turned out that they were barbarians who did not know the power of Han Dynasty. However, someone will settle everything with the tribe where this assassin came from later.

"Should we go directly to Linxiang to take over the forces left by Jingzhou Mu, or should we wait here for orders from Fenggao?" Sima Yi asked Zhuge Liang. Since Liu Biao was assassinated by a foreign race, their campaign against Liu Biao might have to stop. Zhuge Liang thought for a while and said, "Write a report on all our thoughts and speculations about the assassination of Liu Jingzhou and send it to the Grand Commander. Also, let the informant in Linxiang find a way to get the assassin's body and send it to the Grand Commander.

If we can't get the assassin's body, then we can send the extracted memories to the Grand Admiral. He should be able to repair the damaged memory bubble."

"As for us..." Zhuge Liang paused and said, "We will continue to march into Linxiang. I believe the people there really need us to help end the chaos there."

Zhuge Liang's order made Sima Yi and Pang Tong raise their eyebrows. They did not expect that Zhuge Liang would choose to continue marching towards Linxiang City in Changsha County at this sensitive time. Now is the sensitive time when Liu Biao was assassinated.

Zhuge Liang said calmly: "Our goal is to capture Jingzhou. We young people don't need to solve other problems. At most, we can invite the Grand Commander to perform a ritual to make the assassin explain everything clearly before he passes away."

After hearing what Zhuge Liang said, Sima Yi and Pang Tong's mouth twitched. Wasn't it a bit cruel to ask Yang Ji to come and perform a ritual to summon the soul? You have to know that the tradition of the Han Dynasty is to respect the dead.

However, when they thought that the guy Yang Ji wanted to summon back his soul was an assassin, and a foreign barbarian who had killed the Han royal family and some local princes, Sima Yi and Pang Tong began to support Zhuge Liang's suggestion and went to find Yang Ji to summon his soul and interrogate him.

As for leading troops into Changsha County at this sensitive time, the trio only discussed the discipline that needed to be maintained after the army entered Changsha County. After all, they entered Changsha County to help Liu Biao suppress the rebellion, not to seize territory.

No matter what the major princes and aristocratic families outside said, they were all sent by Liu Bei to help suppress the local rebellion. After all, they were all relatives of the Han Dynasty. After Liu Bei saw the chaos in the territory of his brother Jingsheng, of course he had to send troops to help.

As for how to deal with the subsequent matters, that is a matter between Liu Bei and Liu Biao. Zhuge Liang and his men are just following Liu Bei's orders. If there is anything, go to Liu Bei, not to them, the executors.

"Okay, you have already brought out the Grand Commander to perform a ritual to call back the soul, so we have nothing more to say." Sima Yi and Pang Tong nodded, indicating that they agreed with Zhuge Liang's proposal, and directly moved their camp to Linxiang City in Changsha County to control the situation.

Zhuge Liang nodded, turned to Guan Hai and said, "General Guan, do you have anything else to add?" But they were now carrying out a military operation after all, and it was better to consult the veterans on some matters, especially when they were all young people. There were some things that young people really could not realize without experiencing them.

"I have nothing to add." Guan Hai shook his head. Apart from the fact that Liu Biao was assassinated, he didn't understand anything else.

"Is that so?" Zhuge Liang nodded, not caring about it. He just turned to Sima Yi and Pang Tong and said, "Do you have anything else to add? If not, you can prepare to move camp and start the war now."

Sima Yi and Pang Tong both shook their heads to indicate that they had nothing to add. Even if they had something to say, they would have to wait until Linxiang checked the assassin's body. No matter how much they discussed just now, it was just empty talk.

Since no one had anything to add, Zhuge Liang dissolved the meeting and asked everyone to go down and prepare to move camp and start the war. He then wrote a report to inform Yang Ji of these matters.

Soon, Yang Ji received the report from Zhuge Liang, as well as a memory bubble containing the assassin's memories sent by scouts from Linxiang, but there was no body of the assassin that Zhuge Liang requested.

"How did such a person develop the ability to see future lives?" Yang Ji's eyebrows twitched as he looked at the report and memory bubble in his hand. He deeply suspected that the Brahmin monk was being plotted against. Otherwise, how could a monk who had truly developed the ability to see future lives come to the Han Dynasty and try to change the course of the future?
Do you know what it means to confuse cause and effect?

"Could it be that Zhu Helai is unwilling to accept his failure and wants to reverse the predetermined fate of Kushan?" Yang Ji suspected that it was Zhu Helai who was behind this. After all, this guy also had the ability to see the future, and he was also a Brahmin. If he wanted to drive some Brahmins to accomplish certain things, he could do it.

Although Zhu Helai's Brahmin identity has been cancelled, but at Zhu Helai's level, even if his identity is cancelled, he still has a way to control those Brahmins. After all, Zhu Helai is a ruthless man who has awakened his destiny and the brilliance of his descent into the world.

If a ruthless person of this level wants to cause trouble, even someone like Yang Ji who has information advantage will not be able to guard against it. God knows what earth-shattering things a ruthless person of this level will do.

Just like the Brahmin who came from afar to assassinate Liu Biao, Yang Ji was very sure that this kind of trash who couldn't see the future clearly would not be able to awaken his destiny.

The so-called destiny of Zayu is nothing more than a mirror image given to him by others. Even his will to reverse Brahmin's fall is covered and distorted by others.

"What a pity that we didn't get the body of the bastard, otherwise we could see how Lao Zhu managed to cover and change a person's will." Yang Ji flipped through the memory bubble extracted from the bastard with some regret. Perhaps someone had foreseen that the bastard would be hacked to death, so they had already prepared a secret technique to make the bastard's body disappear.

Or maybe it's not a secret technique to make corpses disappear, but a secret technique used to influence the surrounding onlookers. After all, a corpse that disappears out of thin air will definitely attract the attention of certain people, and this problem will not arise if it is handled by the onlookers.

"By the way, I don't know if Lao Zhu's fate can detect my existence. It would be fun if he could..." As if he thought of something, Yang Ji couldn't help laughing. He hoped that when Zhu Helai saw his image in fate, he would not be captured by some evil gods outside the world.

"Forget it, let's finish the things at hand first." Yang Ji sorted out the reports sent by Zhuge Liang and others, and reissued them an action order, which filled the loophole of their march into Changsha County at this time.
