The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

Chapter 486 Volume Your Majesty is practicing Taoism!
The spear in Sun Ce's hand flew around, and soon he killed many Yan soldiers.

When cavalry rushed towards him, Sun Ce was not afraid at all. He rushed towards them with great courage and momentum!
"He is indeed the Overlord of Jiangdong!"

Liu Bei praised and was about to go into battle himself, but he found that Zhao Yun could no longer hold back and went forward with Sun Ce to contain the opposing cavalry.

"Xuan De fought a desperate battle. Does he really think he is the Marquis of Huaiyin?"

Cao Cao came to Liu Bei at this moment and spoke mockingly.

He had already seen that under the current situation, the Han army should have retreated long ago!

wrong……

In Cao Cao's opinion, this battle should not be fought!
When Cao Cao thought that Liu Bei didn't even understand such a simple truth, he became even more dissatisfied with his defeat to Liu Bei in the Battle of Yingshui!

"Ah!"

Liu Bei was also dissatisfied when he heard the ridicule from his old rival.

"But this battle is finally won!"

"That's because of me!"

Cao Cao became even more dissatisfied.

But Liu Bei said: "Winning is winning, losing is losing, why are there so many reasons to find?"

"Can Meng De be so confident that he will win every battle he fights in his life and that everything he does is right?"

The corner of Cao Cao's mouth twitched.

I never expected that the poor student Liu Bei would actually educate me in person?

However, Cao Cao suddenly remembered what Xiahou Dun had told him when he came to Pengcheng.

I always thought I was unlucky.

This was true whether it was the Battle of Yingshui or the Battle of Mangdangshan.

But the emperor said that Cao Cao was destined to lose before the two battles started.

Even if the Battle of Yingshui had not been fought, Zhang Miao and Chen Gong would have surrendered the city to the imperial court.

This has nothing to do with luck. It is just because Cao Cao, like Yuan Shao, could not trust the power of the aristocratic families wholeheartedly, so other forces were necessary to balance the power of the aristocratic families.

Whether it was Xu You and Tian Feng under Yuan Shao, or Zhang Miao under Cao Cao... Cao Cao naturally would not continue to entrust important tasks to such people who already had great prestige.

If you don't entrust them with important tasks, the other party will be dissatisfied.

And the dissatisfaction in the other party's heart will naturally lead to bitter consequences...

many things.

People think it is accidental, but in fact, what can happen is almost inevitable.

Just like Liu Bei’s battle.

Perhaps Liu Bei himself would lose, or perhaps this battle was indeed fought at the wrong time, but Liu Bei had long known that Cao Cao and Sun Ce would come from the sea, thus bypassing the Daliao River and directly attacking Xiangping.

Therefore, the great victory of the Han army became inevitable.

Since you know victory is inevitable, why should you cherish your life?
Cao Cao had a complicated expression and then he sighed heavily.

Sun Ce and Zhao Yun basically drove away all the Yan troops on the periphery.

Liu Bei also laughed and hugged Sun Ce and Zhou Yu in his arms.

"What happened in Yiling was a war for the country, please don't blame me!"

"I buried all the generals who died in Yiling with great ceremony."

"If you want to resent someone, just resent me. Don't be angry with Yide, Zilong or the emperor."

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's faces turned the color of pig liver, and they quickly clasped their fists and said, "I dare not! I dare not!"

Liu Bei really loved Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, so he hugged them tightly and said, "Fortunately, from today on, you and I don't have to be enemies anymore!"

"We are both great men of the Han family. You and I should be ministers in the same palace and brothers in arms. How can we fight against each other? Is it right or not?"

"Yes Yes Yes……"

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's eyes gradually became filled with fear, because they had no doubt that if they hugged Liu Bei any further, Liu Bei's thick lips would touch their faces directly!

It seems that the time Liu Bei spent on the grassland completely unleashed his originally unrestrained character.

Cao Cao looked at Liu Bei helplessly and said, "The current task is to capture Xiangping as soon as possible and seize Liaodong!"

Liu Bei then let Cao Cao go, feeling rather resentful: "Meng De, I haven't seen you for many years. Why are you so boring?"

Is it possible that you're just too funny?
……

Cao Cao rolled his eyes.

really……

After all, he and Liu Bei are not the same kind of people!

When Cao Cao turned his head, he saw Xu Rong also showing him a brilliant smile, which made Cao Cao even more frightened, as if he was back in Xingyang...

The armies joined together and made rapid progress, soon arriving at the capital of Liaodong County, which was also Gongsun Du’s old nest, at the city of Xiangping!
But when they saw the clear view of Xiangping City, Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Sun Ce and others all changed their expressions.

"Why did Gongsun Du build himself a tortoise shell?"

The original city walls of Xiangping City are no longer visible.

Because Gongsun Du actually built two city walls, one high and one low, outside Xiangping City!

The tall city is inside and the short city is outside.

If the Han army captured the low city, the Yan army would be able to defend from the high city.

Cao Cao also judged based on his experience that

"There must be something blocking the way before this tall and short wall."

"It's either the original moat of Xiangping City or a huge pit." "In this case, even if we capture the low city, it will be difficult to reach the high city behind."

"Even if we take Gaocheng, there is still the original wall of Xiangping City behind us..."

Triple city walls!

This unprecedented defensive fortification appeared right in front of everyone, making the Han army, which had just won a victory, frown.

Xu Rong looked at the city wall and guessed Gongsun Du's tactics.

"Autumn is coming soon. There will definitely be heavy rains in Liaodong, and the Daliao River will surely surge."

"By then, the roads behind us will be muddy, and food and grass supplies will be insufficient, so the army will have no choice but to retreat."

"Gongsun Du has never thought about fighting head-on. He is just waiting for our army to retreat on its own!"

The first line of defense, Yanshan.

The second line of defense, the Daliao River.

The third line of defense is the two newly built walls outside Xiangping City.

Gongsun Du didn't even have to defeat the Han army. He could force the Han army to withdraw by relying on the climate of Liaodong!

"What the hell is this place called Liaodong?"

Sun Ce cursed, and then he felt something falling on his face...

"Damn it! Are the Yan soldiers up there spitting?"

But Liu Bei and Cao Cao both looked stern: "It's not saliva."

Everyone looked up and saw that the clouds above their heads had turned the color of an ink painting and were slowly pressing down from above.

"It's rain!"

……

……

Mount Tai.

Cao Pi contentedly carved "Lun Heng" on the top of Mount Tai, and finally set out to return and report to the emperor.

The incident of engraving "Lun Heng" on Mount Tai finally completely ignited the anger of the Toad Confucian scholars.

Many great scholars climbed to the top of Mount Tai, panting, to chop Cao Pi into pieces, but Cao Pi just let them insult him and never fought back.

It was not until a famous scholar took a carving knife and tried to erase the "Lun Heng" carved by Cao Pi's craftsmen that Cao Pi revealed his true face and directly ordered his soldiers to shoot him!

"You dare to kill someone?"

"I am carving a stone here to record the emperor's achievements. This is equivalent to paying respects to the heavens on behalf of the emperor!"

"You want to kill yourself by destroying the emperor's stone carvings and sacrificing to the heavens and earth?"

?

Countless scholars are speechless.

What Cao Pi said were all their words!

They always bring up the theory of the connection between heaven and man; it's their specialty!

What qualifications do you, Cao Pi, have to always mention God?
But unfortunately……

Cao Pi is really qualified!
Because Cao Pi was indeed ordered by the emperor to come to the top of Mount Tai to carve a stone to record his achievements and report to heaven.

No matter what Cao Pi carved on Mount Tai, just tell me whether he was performing the Fengshan ceremony or not!
If these small-minded Confucians do not admit it, it will conflict with his "harmony between heaven and man".

But if these small-time Confucian scholars admit it... does that mean they will also acknowledge the knowledge in Lunheng?
These stupid Confucian scholars have never imagined that there are such disgusting things in the world!

Seeing that people stopped trying to stop him, Cao Pi became even more aggressive!

Not only did he let the craftsmen continue to carve stones on Mount Tai, he also read "Lun Heng" aloud to these small-minded Confucian scholars who followed him.

"Theory of Vitality! Listen to this! This is a great science!"

"Kong Ming's Kongming Lantern has proven that the universe is indeed made up of Qi. Why don't you believe it?"

"If you have the guts, hold your breath and see if you can survive."

Cao Pi had nothing to do, so he even climbed up Mount Tai and replicated Zhuge Liang's experiment at Taibai Academy!
When the group of small-minded Confucian scholars saw that there was actually something that could fly into the sky and float in the air without support, their originally indestructible spiritual hearts were unknowingly shrouded in a layer of haze.

For such insignificant things as the vastness of heaven and earth and the movement of the sun and moon, they can still rely on the system of celestial communication to force a connection with the universe within the human body and make up stories.

But they couldn't explain the tiny Kongming lantern.

It is really embarrassing that a theory that can explain the mysteries of the world and the universe cannot explain a tiny Kongming lantern.

Cao Pi saw that these insignificant Confucian scholars had lost their former ferocity, and he felt that he had accomplished a great feat, so he naturally felt very happy.

After carving the entire volume of Lun Heng except for the On Destiny, Cao Pi was eager to ask the emperor for credit, and pointed at the carved stone: "If you dare to destroy it, I don't need to tell you what the consequences will be! You all take care of yourself!"

What surprised Cao Pi was that these ignorant Confucian scholars did not go berserk as he had expected.

Although most of the Confucian scholars looked unhappy, they still walked to the stones and read the articles one by one...

"Lun Heng" is here.

Whether these people see it or not, it's here.

When Cao Pi saw the reactions of these insignificant Confucian scholars, he suddenly realized the emperor's good intentions in carving the stone on Mount Tai, and he felt a little sad for a moment.

"But I have done this so well, the emperor will surely reward me handsomely!"

After Cao Pi came down the mountain, he went to Linzi. When he saw Sima Yi, he was in a very good mood: "Zhongda! Where is His Majesty? Is it convenient for me to see you now?"

Sima Yi pointed to where the emperor lived and said uncertainly: "The emperor... seems to be cultivating immortality!"
