Chapter 273 Obtaining the National Seal and Transforming into a True Dragon [Subscription Request]
Noon, cloudy.
But the purple light blooming in the study is brighter than the sun.
When the imperial seal arrived in Yecheng, even Xun Yu rushed over to watch upon hearing the news.
Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Xun You, Xi Zhicai, Zhang Liao, Zhao Zilong, Huang Zhong, and Cheng Yu were all there.
Dian Wei and Xu Chu were also behind Cao Cao.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on him.
The imperial seal has been a symbol of imperial power for hundreds of years, from the Qin Dynasty to the present.
Diao Chan and Wen Ji, sitting behind their own small tables, also watched Cao Cao take out the imperial seal with his own hands.
The dragon of luck exhaled purple air, and the national seal also glowed purple.
The next moment, the dragon of destiny suddenly rushed into the national seal.
The amazing thing is that the Dragon of Fortune could only be seen by those who were good at observing qi, but as soon as He entered the national seal, He suddenly became a visible being.
Everyone can see it.
And inside the national seal, it seemed as if there was a ball of chaotic white mist sealed inside which the dragon of destiny was swimming and flying, appearing and disappearing.
In the haze, there seemed to be the ups and downs of mountains and rivers inside the seal, corresponding one by one to the topography of China.
The thirteen states of the Han Dynasty seemed to be contained in this four-inch national seal.
"There's another dragon!"
"It's the Lingyun Jackie Chan in the National Seal!"
"..."
Inside the seal, a dragon-shaped aura appeared.
The chaotic white fog faded away, and the mountains and rivers became clearer.
And Cao Cao's dragon of destiny blends with the dragon energy in the national seal.
The dragon in the seal seemed to be assimilated and absorbed by the dragon of destiny and gradually disappeared.
The whole process is like a kind of ritual to cultivate one's luck.
After a moment, the dragon of destiny suddenly rushed out from the seal.
A strong wind blew up in the study.
Amid the crowd's low shouts, the dragon of luck flew out of the window and soared into the sky.
He was above the nine heavens, inhaling and exhaling the sea of clouds, absorbing the power of the moon and the sun. In an instant, he traveled a hundred miles to the top of the south-facing Yellow River, sucking the water vapor from the river while drawing the power of the dark yellow thick earth.
Its blood is water and its body is earth.
The yin and the sun ignite the vitality in the body.
This dragon of luck began to use breathing to correspond to yin and yang.
He is undergoing a crucial transformation, as if he is about to evolve into real life.
Previously, when Cao Cao was reading the Zhouyi from Yuan's family, He absorbed the "Yi numbers" contained in the Zhouyi and shaped the scales. At this time, all the scales corresponding to the Yijing gathered together to form a core in his body, corresponding to the heart.
Cao Cao's spirit and soul are regarded as soul and spirit.
When the destiny contained in this dragon was combined with that of the national seal, the transformation process of the real dragon was completed.
[Your spirit and soul have completed the first dragon transformation. You have become the king of a region, corresponding to the transformation of a true dragon]
[The direction of the second True Dragon Transformation is to attract people's attention and make it consistent with the destiny of humanity]
The entry flashes by.
Cao Cao's soul dragon immediately returned from outside and rushed into the national seal again.
The dragon-shaped jade carving on the national seal became surrounded by divine light and exuded a compelling pressure.
The national seal floats up and down under the emperor's purple aura.
In Cao Cao's perception, a wonderful connection was formed between his consciousness and the imperial seal.
He seemed to have the power of a real dragon in his body, and he even had the urge to roar like a dragon.
He stretched out his hand and the national seal fell into his hand.
He took out the Chengying Sword, drew the energy of the National Seal, and connected it with it.
Then the national seal was seen floating on its own, with the Chengying sword located underneath it, with their qi communicating and nourishing each other.
The sword is nurtured by the fortune of the country, and the sharpness of the sword can protect the national seal and keep it away from people.
From that day on, the imperial seal and the Chengying sword would be hung in Cao Cao's study, visible to anyone coming in and out.
The national seal corresponds to the great fortune and carries the mandate of heaven.
Cao Cao obtained the national seal.
This matter needs to be recorded in a big book.
Even Xun Yu looked a little excited, and was ready to write an article to inform the world.
With Zheng Xuan's theory of destiny and the national seal as evidence, the resistance to Cao Cao's becoming king will be reduced to a minimum.
But Cao Cao also saw it clearly.
The words on this national seal are indeed ordained by Heaven, and they mean longevity and health.
It was not the Heshi Bi that belonged to the First Emperor. Instead, it was another piece made by Emperor Gaozu, who then engaged in false propaganda, claiming that he had inherited the Mandate of Heaven of Qin.
This is the imperial seal of the Han Dynasty.
Its origin is not simple, and the material is of divine beauty.
After Emperor Gaozu became emperor, the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty used hundreds of years of national fortune to nurture, and ordinary iron could be transformed into a magical weapon.
What’s more, it’s the imperial seal.
Just when Cao Cao's luck finally turned into a real dragon and he was granted the imperial seal, a scream was heard from the Luoyang Palace.
Liu Xie's eyebrows were bleeding and he fell to the ground.
He said in agony: "Someone wants to harm me. I can feel that someone is using witchcraft to take away my luck. It must be Cao Cao... a treacherous person who wants to harm me..."
The emperor fainted after he finished speaking.
Yecheng.
Zheng Xuan, Tong Yuan, Hua Tuo, Zhang Zhongjing and others were all eating melons.
As the saying goes, different paths lead to the same destination. When one reaches the pinnacle of their respective fields, one can keenly sense the changes in the energy of heaven and earth.
Especially in Cao's mansion, the national seal turned into a purple sun, carrying a surging aura like a long river.
Several people seemed to have heard the dragon's roar coming from the earth veins.
Under their gaze, the entire Cao Mansion was covered with a layer of purple halo.
Several people looked at each other, and no one said anything.
But everyone understands what this purple halo means.
Also in Yecheng, there was another person, holding a scroll in his hand, who also sensed the changes in Cao Cao.
The bamboo slips in Kong Rong's hand are the handwriting of a sage passed down from his ancestors.
A stream of energy flowed from the scroll, merged into his body, and merged with his eyes.
Kong Rong was thus able to observe the destiny of heaven and earth.
He saw with his own eyes a dragon rising up in Cao's mansion, breathing in energy from all directions.
"The emperor's fortune was bestowed upon him, and the national fortune contained in the imperial seal was taken away by Cao Cao!"
Kong Rong couldn't believe it.
"How could a traitor like him absorb dragon energy? There must be something wrong..."
Kong Rong was planning to go find Cao Cao after reviewing the troops and appointing generals.
But after the generals were appointed, many nobles unanimously backed out.
The prestige of an army of 100,000 and the process of Cao Cao ascending the general's platform and gathering soldiers and appointing generals made many nobles change their minds.
They originally wanted to form a secret alliance and not pay grain, or pay less grain, but their idea was suppressed because of the appointment of generals to gather troops.
After Kong Rong had been running around for many days, most of the aristocratic families had already left, saying they were going back to collect food.
Only he and Fu Ping were left busy everywhere, and they had not yet contacted a few noble families. At this time, seeing the prosperity in Cao Cao's mansion, Kong Rong thought silently:
"When I first met Cao Mengde, I concluded that he was extremely ambitious and treacherous. He could never be wrong. He was disrupting the country and politics, and he wanted to steal the country. My family, the Kong family, passed down the Six Classics from generation to generation. How could we be afraid of his power?"
Kong Rong left Yecheng that day and headed straight for Luoyang.
He wanted to participate in the emperor's plan, restore order, and uphold the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty.
At the same time, Sun Ce personally went out to welcome his younger brother Sun Quan who had returned to Jiangdong.
Sun Ce was overjoyed when he saw his brother's carriage.
Sun Quan was also filled with joy when he saw his brother.
"Zhongmou, I feel relieved to see that you are okay."
"How was your situation when you went to Yecheng? Were you bullied?"
Sun Quan got off the carriage and said politely, "Thank you for your concern, brother. I am doing fine."
"The eldest son of Duke Wei, Cao Zixiu, behaves rudely and likes to use violence. Apart from that, there is nothing special."
Sun Quan complained to his brother.
But it was just a passing mention.
He boasted that he had grown up and would not encourage his brother to seek justice for him because he was being bullied.
Cao's camp is powerful. If his brother really goes against Cao's camp for him, it will be a disaster rather than a blessing.
Sun Ce leaned forward and patted his brother on the shoulder.
"Duke Wei asked me to bring a letter to my brother." Sun Quan took out the letter.
Sun Ce opened the letter on the spot and found it was written by Cao Cao.
After reading it, he handed it to Zhou Yu beside him.
Zhou Yu glanced at it and praised, "What a beautiful calligraphy! It is said that Cao Mengde is a man of great talent, and it is indeed true."
Cao Cao's letter to Sun Ce discusses the situation in the world.
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu understood Cao Cao's intention as soon as they saw it.
If Sun Ce is willing to submit sincerely and go to Yecheng to meet him, he can help unify the world as soon as possible.
What Cao Cao meant was that if the world could be at peace, he would leave the throne vacant and appoint Sun Ce as the governor of Jiangdong, in charge of the area.
But you have to surrender your military power.
Sun Ce chuckled and said, "Cao Mengde thinks too highly of himself when he wrote to me. Why would he think I would vote for him?"
At this time, Zhou Yu and Lu Su (Lu the Crazy) had already formulated a strategy for Sun Ce to occupy the natural barrier of Jiangdong and make plans later.
Sun Ce was in Jiangdong, conquering cities and territories and was invincible in every battle.
When Yuan Shu died, there was no one to rival him in Jiangdong.
How could he surrender willingly if he hadn't tried?
Sun Ce took his brother Sun Quan and returned to Jiangdong, ignoring Cao Cao's letter.
The relevant news soon reached Cao Cao's ears.
"It's his last chance, so he doesn't want it."
Cao Cao said to Jia Xu: "Let our people act according to the plan."
----
Koto.
On the south bank of the Yangtze River is a big city called Tongyang.
It was getting dark in the afternoon.
Xu Yue is 29 years old this year, tall and thin with an ordinary face.
He dressed as a traveling merchant and walked at a leisurely pace to a house in Tongyang City, where he gently knocked on the doorknob at the back door.
The door opened and the doorman was an old man. He glanced at Xu Yue and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Xu Yue uttered a coded phrase that he himself did not understand: "What is the Second Battalion Commander's weapon?"
"It's the Italian gun."
The code matched.
The two parties remained silent. The doorman made way and Xu Yue entered the yard.
He had always been deeply puzzled by the secret codes used by his own spies in Cao's camp to contact each other.
Who wrote this? I know all the words, but what is an Italian cannon?
I totally don't understand.
Xu Yue is a high-level secret agent in Cao's camp.
One of the people trained personally by Jia Xu, ranked high among the spies in Cao's camp.
The old man turned around and took Xu Yue into the house.
There was another young man in the room, who was Xu Yue's real contact.
When they looked into each other's eyes, they felt like they were the right people.
Because they knew each other and both learned skills under their mentor, Director Jia.
But you still need to check the code again to make sure it is correct.
Xu Yue dipped his finger in water and wrote his ID on the mat: "Ren Wu."
"Ren Liu." The other party also wrote down the corresponding identity.
The two are brothers.
Five people and six people.
The code word for the Italian artillery was a code word Cao Cao gave to his appointed high-ranking spies to meet on a whim. Unless you were a time traveler, it would be impossible for you to connect with them.
The team is extremely efficient, worthy of being trained by Jia Xu himself.
"The place has been chosen, here is the address." Person Six told Person Five.
The five people nodded.
Cao Cao recently issued an order for his spies to search for some people.
These spies found a clue and plan to take action tonight.
Person Five led the team personally, while Person Six continued to stay dormant in the local area to find out the news from Jiangdong.
The two met briefly and exchanged messages.
The night is dark.
Man Wu led a small team and nimbly broke into the target's house.
Because it had been carefully planned in advance, no one spoke a word during the entire process, and the attack was simple and swift, subduing the target.
Everyone packed up and took it away.
Cao Cao asked them to come and rob people.
The five people snatched the people and secretly transported them out of the city overnight.
How to leave the city when the city gates are closed at night?
They came to a deserted house next to the city wall. A long and deep tunnel had been dug in the ground, passing through the city wall.
This operation received full cooperation from the engineers of the tomb-robbing office under Ling Jin.
Judging from the size of the tunnel, it was clear that it took more than a day to dig.
The people were put into sacks and carried out of the city, boarded ships and transferred overnight.
When I tried to look for him the next morning, he had disappeared without a trace and I had no idea where he had gone.
Beautifully done job.
There were several special talents among those transported away, otherwise they would not have used high-level spies at the level of Human Five or Human Six.
These kidnapped people were transported along a long journey and finally arrived in Yecheng in early May.
Cao Cao was very excited and planned to meet these people in person.
