Lord of Hongmeng

Chapter 196

Two years have passed in the blink of an eye, Xiaoqin Village is still so peaceful and quiet, but the outside world is turned upside down.

The last emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, returned to Luoyang under the support of a group of ministers, but not long after, Cao took Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to Xuchang in an act of welcoming the emperor. The turbulent Eastern Han Dynasty took another step forward, and the princes from all over the country attacked more violently, and it has reached a situation where either you die or I die.

After Gan Ning heard the news, he hurried back to Xiaoqin Village and came outside Chen Xuanyuan.

"Master Daoist, the world is in such chaos now, and even the emperor acted like a puppet. It's really shocking." After Gan Ning told the current world, he turned his eyes to Chen Xuan, hoping to find something beneficial to himself. direction.

"This is God's will. Who can change it? The general trend is helpless. The poor are just outsiders. Even if they want to, they can't stop the actions of ambitious people. Of course, if someone can stop it, it doesn't mean that it can't be changed. The general trend can also become a small one." However, the obstacles that need to be borne will be huge, especially if this person is still a mortal, and we, as cultivators, must never enter the world."

Chen Xuan seemed to say solemnly that he was very clear about the future of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It is best for cultivators like them to avoid this time of complicated causes and effects. There are too many things that are clear, and they cannot be avoided if they can be avoided. Therefore, mortals are the best weapon in this world, and they can also be changed if they are done well.

When Gan Ning heard this, he kept guessing, what did the Daoist mean by this, why did he say that, it's strange, is there anyone who can change the way of this world, it seems that in today's world, only a few have this ability, but It's not absolutely open and aboveboard, and I still disdain it deep in my heart. Unfortunately, I haven't recognized the essence of human nature. Isn't it a water thief now?

"Hey, Xingba, you're back, is there something wrong?" Qin Hai has been at home for two years, teaching, reading various articles, and practicing martial arts on a daily basis. Now he has a civil and military posture, words and deeds There is an indescribable taste in it.

"Brother Qin, you're here. I just talked to the Taoist priest about the outside world. The current world is in trouble." Gan Ning didn't think it was strange when he saw it. Anyway, the relationship between them is very good, so it's not surprising.

When Qin Hai heard this, he couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, and then he understood Gan Ning's thoughts, it seems that he was sitting quietly and thinking about moving.

"Sit down, between you and me, there is no need to be so polite, poor Taoist is not a high-ranking figure, hehehe." Chen Xuan said modestly and politely, without making himself so tall, with a smile on his face Looking at the two, mortals have the benefits of mortals, and they can do their own things without any worries. There is no need to worry about God's will, etc., because they don't know.

After the two sat down, they were ready to listen to the words of the Taoist priest, and also thought about what to do now.

"Under the current situation, there must be a great battle in the north that will determine unification, and in this battle, only two people have this strength, that is, Yuan Shao and Cao. What do you say about the strength of these two people, who can win in this battle? How about winning in a big battle?" Chen Xuan kept silent as he spoke, and quietly looked at the two of them, it could be regarded as a difficult test for each.

When the two of them heard this, they couldn't help but fell silent. They both knew about their strength, and they naturally got some information, but it was difficult to collect the specifics, especially since each of them had a confidentiality mechanism. How could it be possible to come out?
"Master Daoist, I feel that Yuan Shao's strength should be stronger, not to mention his family background, he is very charismatic, and he is full of soldiers and horses, and his combat effectiveness is very strong. Relatively speaking, Cao is only relying on the accumulation of these years. For Yuan Shao's aristocratic family, it's still not enough, not enough to defeat Yuan Shao, according to my thinking, Yuan Shao's odds of victory will be stronger."

Compared with each other, Gan Ning expressed some of his own thoughts. After all, in the overall situation, the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the food and grass go first. As long as there is enough food and grass, then the soldiers and horses are nothing to worry about. Ma can be predicted that he is very strong, and basically has a great chance of winning against Shang Cao. At that time, Yuan Shao will have the final say in the whole north, and his strength will be the strongest.

Qin Hai said: "According to my opinion, although Cao has little chance of winning, the possibility of winning is not impossible. I noticed the difference from Yuan Shao when I was in Luoyang. I’ve seen Yuan Shao, and I’ve heard a lot about it, conceited in reality, conceited, conceited, scheming and indecisive, doing big things but cherishing life, seeing small gains and forgetting life.”

Seeing that Gan Ning still didn't believe it, Qin Hai continued: "He likes the big families the most, and how capable are these big families, either attacking each other or abandoning the overall situation for their own benefit. Still the same, how could there be a chance of winning, I dare say, under such circumstances, Cao's chances of winning will be much higher, what does the Daoist think?"

"Hahahaha, scholars are more knowledgeable. Although Cao is also conceited, before he is conceited, he can listen to the opinions of his subordinates and consider his own overall situation. This is the posture of a hero. Let's talk about your own counselors, you guys Speaking of the odds, although Yuan Shao is the son of a family, his appeal is naturally strong, but he is also a major weakness, and the interests of the family are more important than anything else."

Yes, in today's world, the interests of the family are stronger than the interests of the country. Otherwise, there will be no tyrants who want to occupy one side, listen to the tune and not listen to the announcement, and will not pay attention to the orders of the Han Dynasty. The cutting is so severe that it has never been seen before, causing countless people to be displaced, the refugees are everywhere, and the number of people who died on the road is too many to count.

The two of them couldn't help but fell silent, especially Gan Ningda seemed to be a little puzzled, why was that so?
"The general trend of the way of heaven must have its own tendency. Now that it has been corrupted, do you think the way of heaven will still take care of it? The aristocratic families are very powerful, but when faced with the general trend of the way of heaven, they will also perish, step by step towards extinction. There is no fact that can be changed, even if it is temporarily protected, it will continue to decline in the future, and it will be replaced by a new family, what do you think?"

Chen Xuan's low tone made the two of them feel heavy. If heaven is not looking after them, how can they continue to maintain the prosperity of the aristocratic family? Even if the next batch comes out, they will change to a different model. They will never let such an aristocratic family passed on.

"Daozhang, I understand. Everything is predestined. Even if you want to change, you have to face strong resistance. I can't change it, so I can only adapt to change the little one. If it can make people live better, it would be even better, Xingba, don’t you think so?” Qin Hai said to Gan Ning, with a hint of hope in his eyes.

Gan Ning nodded as he listened, why did he become a Jinfan thief? The reason was not because being an official was too cruel, and he didn't give him a chance to survive, so he could only resist, wanting to stand up and win a little freedom This is what they want, the others are one-sided, with a lot of utilitarianism in essence, as if they also know his thoughts.

"Yes, Brother Qin, I understand what you mean, but who is the real possibility now?"

Regarding this point, the two are still a little uneasy. Even though there are advantages and disadvantages, the only changes are the timing and location. Only these two are the biggest changes. Once something goes wrong, everything will change. Look at Chen Xuan.

"Don't worry so much. There are right and wrong choices. This is inevitable. Choose the person who is most likely to succeed in your mind. This battle will take a little time. They all need to prepare. If you are not sure, just Wait patiently, it will explode within a few years, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, it is definitely a battle of life and death, there is no other excuse, you have to be prepared."

"Yes, Daoist, I will know, but I also understand that icing on the cake is worse than giving charcoal in the snow. In this case, it is better to block it now, otherwise there will be many uncertainties in the future. Daoist, are you right?" Qin Hai said in a deep voice. Said.

"Maybe, but victory or defeat is not so easy, and the crisis we will face will be certain. Just like what you said, changes will always exist. Pindao also believes this. There are thousands of things in the world, and no one knows what will change. What it will look like, if you all decide, you must stick to it unswervingly, then you can get the greatest benefit, and use this benefit to change the world."

Chen Xuan stood up suddenly, looked at the sky, and saw two faint auras constantly colliding in the north, but now although one side is weak, but with dragon energy in hand, it can be blocked, preventing the other side from having a chance Can take advantage of.Seeing this, I can't help but nod, it seems that there is nothing wrong, now that it has begun, there are more places to fight secretly, and the big battle will not be far away.

Although the two of them didn't know why their looks changed suddenly, it was definitely not a simple matter, and they waited silently.

Flood dragons formed and fought constantly, and the people of the Li people naturally suffered a lot. Only unification can alleviate or eliminate this disadvantage. Chen Xuan sighed, sat down slowly, looked at the two of them and said: "The matter between the two of you , You need to be sincere and sincere in order to be accepted by others, once you take refuge, you must assist wholeheartedly, otherwise there will be a disaster of killing, understand?"

When the two heard this, their hearts shivered, and they immediately nodded and said: "Yes, Daoist, when I understand, I will definitely live up to the words of the Daoist."

"That's good. Now that the north is fighting for hegemony, who do you think wants to answer for the south? If you can't unify, you will be powerless to fight against the north. Even if you take advantage of it, it will only be temporary."
