The Necromancer of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 68 Create a Providence for People to See

Yuan Xu attacked Huai County.

Outside the county seat, all the dead bodies are busy digging deep pits.

They are digging their own graves.

It is no longer possible to bring them from the Taihang Road and drive them back.

The best way is to bury it in situ.

Pang Tong accompanied Yuan Xu to stand on the city wall.

He looked at the dead body digging a pit outside the city: "The fire in Huai County is quite large, and you can still feel the heat here."

"The stone dissipates heat very quickly. Two or three hours have passed, how could it still be hot?" Yuan Xu replied, "Shi Yuan was too impressed with the fire."

"I don't quite understand something." Pang Tong said, "Since Guo Fengxiao and others surrendered, why did you promise them not to fight Cao Cao?"

"Cao Cao didn't feel sorry for them. If he was defeated, he would fight back. Would you dare to use such a person?" Yuan Xu asked.

"But..." Pang Tong still couldn't let it go.

"Can Shi Yuan guarantee that they won't let Cao Cao go secretly?" Yuan Xu asked again.

Pang Tongtong was stunned: "My lord means..."

"With love in my heart, of course I can't bear to do harm. What I want is to destroy Cao Cao, how can I use his old army?" Yuan Xu said: "Cao Cao is a hero in this world, I don't want him to have the chance to escape alive."

Pang Tong understood Yuan Xu's meaning: "It turns out that the young master is worried about these things."

"It's not just worrying, but they will definitely do that." Yuan Xu replied.

Since the siege of the dead, all the people have been hiding at home except for the strong and strong peasants who were recruited to deliver supplies to the city.

The murderous corpse broke through the city. Occasionally, someone secretly looked out and saw the dead corpses walking around the city, so they closed the doors and windows tightly in fright.

Yuan Xu got off the city wall and walked along the street with Pang Tong.

"My lord defeated Huai County, and the people here were terrified." Pang Tong suddenly said.

"They were frightened by the dead body, not because of the destruction of the city." Yuan Xu replied, "Who would not be afraid of a living person seeing a walking corpse?"

"I've been worrying about one thing." Pang Tong said, "Will the young master drive the dead to fight, will he become the enemy of the world?"

"Come out with a gimmick." Yuan Xu said, "Have someone bury a monument in the city, engraved on the monument is 'Yuan's Xianxin, ordering life and death, the world is peaceful'."

Pang Tong suddenly said: "When the stone tablet comes out, the world will only think it is an oracle, and it doesn't care whether the people fighting are living or dead."

"In this way, I have offended all the heroes in the world." Yuan Xu chuckled, "Including my brothers."

"What's your plan, sir?" Pang Tong also thought of the consequences of the stele's release.

"It's just a war." Yuan Xu didn't care. "Since I choose to conquer the world, do I have to worry about offending heroes? Even if they attack in groups, I can order the army of corpses to kill them head-on. Who should I be afraid of?"

Yuan Xu is crazy, but he has the capital to be crazy. Of course, Pang Tong will not doubt his statement.

The stele will offend the heroes, but it can appease the hearts of the people.

The people worship them like gods, the heroes flock to them, and as for the heroes...

Sooner or later, swords and soldiers will face each other, and if you offend, you will be offended.

Knowing Yuan Xu's intention, Pang Tong went to prepare the stele himself.

It takes time to carve the stele. Taiyuan soldiers have been stationed in Huai County for seven days, but they haven't moved forward yet.

The fire blackened the city walls, and the city was dilapidated due to fighting.

It happened to give Yuan Xu a reason to stay.

The soldiers drove the people to repair the destroyed county.

On the afternoon of the seventh day after the army entered Huai County, a group of civilians were cleaning up the destroyed houses in the city.

Suddenly someone shouted: "Come on, see what this is!"

Including the overseer's soldiers, a group of people ran over one after another.

What appeared in front of their eyes was a stone tablet with a small half exposed in the soil.

"Dig it out," ordered an officer.

Hoes and shovels danced around, and the stele was dug out of the ground in a short while.

Someone wiped the dirt off it.

There were characters engraved on the stele, but the officer didn't know them, so he shouted to the crowd, "Is there anyone who can read?"

Among the onlookers, there are always a few who can read.

The folks pushed those few out, and one of them read: "Yuan Shi Xianxin, ordering life and death, the world is peaceful..."

As soon as he said it, someone shouted from behind: "It turned out to be God's will for the fourth son to drive the dead body away! God has already arranged for him to save the world!"

The people who suddenly realized it all knelt down in fright and kowtowed to the stone tablet.

Yuan Xu stayed in Huai County for a few days, saying that it was to be rebuilt, but in fact, he was waiting for the stone tablet to come out.

After receiving the news, he took Guo Jia, Pang Tong and others to the scene where the stele was discovered.

News of the stele's discovery spread like it had grown legs.

When the people of Huai County witnessed the dead bodies breaking the city, they were afraid of Yuan Xu.

A stone tablet showing God's will appeared in the city, and the people who got the news rushed to it one after another.

When Yuan Xu arrived, the scene was already crowded with people.

When the people and soldiers saw him, they knelt down one after another.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was not fashionable to kneel and worship.

So kneel down, just because the awe of him has reached the extreme.

Yuan Xu ignored the kneeling people and hurried towards the stele.

Pang Tong squatted beside the stele, and said that sentence again.

After he got up, he bowed to Yuan Xu: "No wonder the young master can order the dead, so it's God's will..."

Guo Jia stood aside with a strange expression on his face.

He has seen everything.

Yuan Xu wanted to use this stele to tell people all over the world that he followed the way of heaven by driving the dead.

At the same time, Guo Jia also understood one thing.

Yuan Xu didn't pay attention to the heroes of the world at all.

The appearance of the stele gave the people of the world a reasonable explanation, but offended the ambitious heroes of the Quartet.

Looking at Yuan Xu, Guo Jia felt mixed feelings.

He also bowed and saluted: "My lord, please follow the way of heaven and save the people of Li from fire and water."

Of course Gan Ning, Xiahou Dun and Xu Huang did not have Guo Jia's wisdom and foresight.

The two military advisers were like this. They thought it was the stele that came out, and they also saluted Yuan Xu: "I am willing to follow the son, calm the world, and return the peace of the four universes!"

"Excuse me, everyone." Yuan Xu signaled them to excuse them first, and then shouted to the kneeling soldiers and civilians: "Stand up!"

People stood up one after another, and many of them were still trembling after getting up.

Witnessing God's will with their own eyes, while being proud, people's hearts are also full of panic.

Standing with his back to the stele, Yuan Xu shouted: "I have always wondered why there are dead people to help out every time I go to battle. After seeing this stele, I realized that it is God's will! Since it is God's will, I will follow the sky! Return the four universes to Qingning, and keep the world peaceful!"

"Young Master is mighty!" Someone in the crowd shouted.

People who thought they had witnessed God's will with their own eyes cheered.

After a while, Yuan Xu pressed his hands, and the scene returned to tranquility.

He shouted loudly: "I need to recruit soldiers and civilian husbands to go out with me. Who will follow?"
