Chapter 360: Caught! [Subscribe]

"Liu Yizhou, don't panic." The voice of the person who came was low and feminine.

Liu Bei narrowed his eyes and looked at the other person.

The person who came was a Taoist priest with skin as white as jade and a look of immortal quality.

"Who are you?"

"I am Shi Zimiao," said the Taoist priest politely.

Liu Bei's heart moved slightly, and he sat back to the position he had just stood up from.

"Liuzhou Mu is under pressure from Cao Wei and is having a hard time. I came to see you because I want to help you deal with Cao Wei together." said the old Taoist.

Liu Bei said calmly: "You want to form an alliance with me?"

"Yes."

Shi Zimiao said confidently: "This time Liu Yizhou is fighting against Cao Wei, and Yizhou officials have defected to Cao one after another, disrupting your plan to attack Hanzhong."

"I have also placed people in Cao Wei, and there are more than one, who can help Liu Yizhou get the news in time.

And I have other means to control Cao Wei and help you conquer the world."

Liu Bei sneered to himself, what nonsense.

The power of Cao Wei cannot be shaken by a Taoist like you.

Shi Zimiao looked at Liu Bei and continued:

"I have a plan, Liu Yizhou might as well listen to it."

"We contacted some people in the middle and traveled between the north and south ends. The Xianbei troops are stronger than Cao Wei."

"There will soon be a major war between the Xianbei and Cao Wei.

At that time, if Liu Yizhou sent troops from the south to the north, and the Xianbei went from the north to the south, and attacked Cao Wei together, what would happen? "

Liu Bei asked, "You want me to cooperate with the Xianbei and use their power?"

"That's right, as the saying goes, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. By making use of the Xianbei, Liu Yizhou will have a chance of winning." said the old Taoist.

Liu Bei smiled, raised one hand from his knees and stroked his beard.

At this moment, the wall on the side exploded and an astonishing force surged out.

Zhang Fei was so fast and so fierce that he was like a vicious beast.

He grabbed the old Taoist's shoulders and suddenly exerted force.

The old Taoist was restrained, but he chuckled: "So Liu Yizhou is going to reject my proposal?"

During this period, Liu Bei had been on guard against attacks from Cao's camp.

It can be said that Zhang Fei was never away from his side.

I was alone just now because I wanted to cry secretly for a while.

When the old Taoist came in, Zhang Fei was ready to kill him immediately.

The way Liu Bei sat down was conveying a message that he wanted to hear the Taoist's intentions and asked Zhang Fei to be patient.

He raised his hand and stroked his beard, which was another signal for Zhang Fei to take action.

"I don't know where this evil Taoist came from, he is full of nonsense. Although I, Liu Bei, am fighting against Cao Wei, I will never use the hands of the Xianbei foreigners to do things that will be despised by future generations. I would rather fail myself than do it."

"Third brother, take him."

Zhang Fei's eyes widened, and he exerted all his strength to tear the tiger and leopard apart alive: "Come and die!"

The old Taoist's blood splattered all over and he was torn into two.

Zhang Fei was surprised and asked: "What kind of trick is this?"

After the old Taoist was torn apart by him, very little blood came out, and there was a foul smell.

It looked like a corpse that had been dead for a long time and was killed by Zhang Fei.

The Taoist's face was also changing. His blood and energy were drained away, and he became shriveled and old in an instant, no longer the same as before.

Some spells appeared on his face and body.

If someone knows Sanskrit, they will recognize it as India's Amitabha Sutra, a minor supernatural power.

This was a Taoist who had been killed. He was given a mantra for rebirth and was driven to find Liu Bei in a similar way to the method of splitting the soul into a body.

Shi Zimiao himself did not show up.

Zhang Fei said fiercely: "Where did this treacherous Taoist priest come from? Just now I thought that Big Brother would agree to his proposal."

Liu Bei waved his sleeves in displeasure: "Who do you take me for?"

Those who fight for the world usually have a low bottom line.

But Liu Bei would definitely not betray his ancestors and join forces with foreign races, so he refused it outright.

However, at a long distance away, the fake Taoist Shi Zimiao woke up again while in the silence of his mind while chanting the Rebirth Mantra in meditation.

He rubbed his eyebrows. The death of the body he controlled also caused him considerable harm, and his eyebrows felt like they were being pricked by needles.

He sat there pondering for a long time before he got up and headed south from his hiding place.

He was in Yizhou, and if he continued to go south, he would reach Ba County.

Two days later, the old Taoist arrived at the capital of Yizhou.

The night is dark.

Emperor Liu Xie felt vaguely palpitations in his sleep.

He seemed to be trapped in some nightmare.

In the dream, an old Taoist priest appeared. He stretched out his skinny hands, reached into his forehead and started digging.

Liu Xie was in unbearable pain and was covered in cold sweat. He wanted to call for help but no sound came out.

The old Taoist seemed to be looking for something, muttering to himself:

"He is already a waste, with only a little blood left from the Liu family, who were once emperors. Waste..."

"But your blood may be of some use. Let's take it and give it a try."

This nightmare haunted Liu Xie all night.

He woke up early in the morning, still feeling tired and weak.

Empress Fu Shou came in from outside and was startled when she saw the emperor: "Why does your majesty look so pale?"

Not only was Liu Xie's face pale, but there was also a deep red mark between his eyebrows, as if someone had pierced his forehead, leaving a scar that had severely damaged his energy and blood.

Liu Xie took a breath and asked, "Queen, has the Fu family sent any news? Has Liu Yizhou defeated Cao Mengde?"

Fu Shou went over to help the emperor and sat back on the couch together:
"No, the situation is not favorable, and Liu Yizhou is no match for Cao Mengde."

Liu Xie clenched his fists and said, "We can't defeat him in Hanzhong? Is there no one in this world who can control Cao Mengde?"

……

Mid-May.

There were still some follow-up matters to be dealt with in the Hanzhong battle, but Cao Cao had already seen that Liu Bei wanted to withdraw his troops and the war was nearing its end.

He made some arrangements with his ministers and then set out from Hanzhong to return north.

on the way back.

Cao Cao asked his attendants to stay away and he took Diao Chan with him to ride Red Hare.

Diao Chan and Red Hare, these two have special attribute bonuses, those who understand will understand.

Cao Cao's hand was around Diao Chan's waist, not very honest. Diao Chan was wearing a bright red Han skirt and turned her head to give her husband a sidelong glance.

"Diao Chan, do you remember what I said when I became king?"

"Which sentence?"

"If there were no me, I don't know how many people would claim to be kings and how long the chaos would last. I have another sentence to say. If there were no me, your beauty would be coveted by others. Anyone with a little power would come to snatch you.

You have to wander around everywhere."

Diao Chan smiled and said, "My husband, what are you trying to do now? Last time you said that, you forced me to thank you, and I agreed. I won't fall for it this time. I didn't hear what my husband said."

The two of them were chatting and joking on the horse.

Red Hare followed Zhua Huang and Jueying on the left and right.

Claw Huang turned his big eyes and looked at Cao Cao and Diao Chan.

The two of them were riding Red Hare together, and they didn't notice that there was such a big horse following them. It would have been so nice to ride me.

Cao Cao and Diao Chan rode for half an hour. Diao Chan couldn't bear it anymore and asked to go to the carriage.

I got into the car and heard rain hitting the banana leaves.

There was nothing much to do on the way back. Coming down from the east of Hanzhong and heading north, it was quite leisurely.

On this day, Diao Chan was taking a rest in one of the accompanying carriages, while Cao Cao was in the front carriage, handling official business.

He took a pen and wrote down the names of Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Xun You, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Chun and others in a book he carried with him.

This time, the North and the South went to war together, and Cao Cao was giving credit to the civil and military officials who participated.

After the country is unified, there will be a great reward for the founding achievement.

At that time, Cao Cao planned to follow the example of the Qin Emperor and Han Emperor Wu, personally climb Mount Tai to announce to heaven and earth the establishment of the third unified dynasty, and confer titles on civil and military officials to achieve the credit of stabilizing the world.

Some feats require years of preparation and recording before they can be more accurately assessed.

The booklet that Cao Cao carried with him was used to record his achievements, and every sentence was written by him personally.

Jia Xu and Guo Jia were also in the car.

Cheng Yu stayed in Hanzhong temporarily to deal with the aftermath.

Thinking of the titles bestowed upon the founding heroes, even Jia Xu and Guo Jia couldn't help but feel curious. Seeing that Cao Cao was not shy about mentioning them, they took a look at the small notebook.

When Guo Jia saw this, he almost laughed out loud.

It turned out that Cao Cao was writing an evaluation of Jia Xu.

The important officials of Cao Wei all had a prefix before their names. Xun Yu corresponds to the talent of assisting the king.

Guo Jia, the character Cao Cao wrote about, was a man of extraordinary talent.

When it comes to Jia Xu, he writes about the most vicious scholars in history, none more so than him.

Jia Xu also saw it.

He never quite understood why he became a poisonous person.

He really didn't do anything immoral in this world.

According to the historical context, when Li Jue and Guo Si caused chaos in Chang'an, Jia Xu would rather kill the whole world than Jia Wenhe in order to protect himself. From then on, one vicious plan after another was launched.

Cao Cao glanced at Jia Xu, and inexplicably recalled an interesting story about Jia Xu in history:
Cao Cao asked: Wenhe, who is the most capable general under my command?
Jia Xu: I killed that guy in Wancheng.

Cao Cao: Which of my sons is the most promising?

Jia Xu: I killed that guy in Wancheng.

Cao Cao: Is there any BMW in the world that can rival Red Hare?
Jia Xu: I killed that guy in Wancheng.

Cao Cao: Who is the most powerful strategist under my command?
Jia Xu: The one who almost killed you in Wancheng.

The thought flashed through Cao Cao's mind: "Wenhe, it is not an exaggeration to describe you as a poisonous scholar."

Jia Xu thought about it and said, you are the king, you have the final say.

A poisonous scholar is a poisonous scholar.

Jia Xu thought to himself: The king asked me to be a poisonous scholar. Is he implying that my plans are too mild and that I should live up to my reputation? Then I have to come up with more poisonous plans.

Within a few days, Cao Cao ordered his troops to head west.

The imperial carriage turned and headed west of Luoyang, and after several days, it approached Chang'an.

The carriage finally stopped near the "Wulingyuan" which stretched a hundred miles from east to west.

Cao Cao stopped by Wulingyuan to see the tomb of Emperor Wu.

Regarding the direction of the myth, the entry gives multiple hints, saying that it will be of great benefit to him and let Cao Cao make a decision as soon as possible.

The five-colored soil of Mount Tai was pointed out by him first.

What remains are the immortal wood in Emperor Wu’s tomb and the earth energy of Mount Kunlun.

The last time Cao Cao went to the Hexi Corridor, he actually intended to go south to see the hidden geomantic energy in Kunlun Mountain.

But the battle of Hanzhong was imminent and there was no time.

Now that the war is over, let’s go and visit Emperor Wu’s tomb first.

The entry suggests that Cao Cao will not be in danger when entering Emperor Wu's tomb because he can summon Chi Xiao and pass through unhindered.

But Cao Cao was still quite cautious, and Dian Wei and Xu Chu accompanied him.

In the evening, Cao Cao went to Emperor Wu's tomb, and his carriage was waiting on the official road.

Diao Chan sat in the car, with her long hair hanging down to her shoulders and her neck as beautiful as jade.

Her eyes flickered as she read a scroll of silk book.

Zhang Lu’s grandfather was a Taoist master, the first generation Heavenly Master, and the one who opened the Heavenly Gate.

The Tianshi Dao founded by Zhang Daoling does not prohibit marriage and has health-preserving methods that harmonize yin and yang, which benefits both men and women.

Looking at the Heavenly Masters of later generations, unless they died from accidents, injuries or wars, most of them lived to an astonishingly long age.

Among their school, there is a technique of combining yin and yang passed down by Zhang Daoling, which is very miraculous.

Zhang Lu presented the Yin-Yang scroll of Tianshi Dao to Cao Cao.

Lao Cao asked Diao Chan to learn it, and the two of them started to have fun.

When he was around, Diao Chan was too embarrassed to watch. When he was out, Diao Chan secretly read the Taoist Yin-Yang scroll in the car.

The girl's face turned red and she studied very seriously.

The sky was getting a little darker. It had been an hour since Cao Cao left. Diao Chan became a little worried.

She got out of the car and looked towards the Mausoleum of Emperor Wu.

"Madam, Yehan, you should go back to the car and wait." said the accompanying waitress.

At this moment, a white hand suddenly reached out from nowhere and grabbed Diao Chan without any warning.

As the hand appeared, a corner of the Taoist robe was revealed.

At the same time, Dian Wei, who was supposed to follow Cao Cao to the tomb of Emperor Wu, shouted like thunder: "Where are you going to run this time!"

Boom——

A collision of energy that is like the collapse of heaven and earth.

Diao Chan felt her body lose balance and fell into someone's arms. She could sense who it was without looking up and felt relieved immediately.
