Double penetration: This Three Kingdoms has dragon energy

Chapter 101 Jia Xu: I have three strategies for you to choose from!
Qianjin Hall, this is the place that Ji Qiu yearns for.

Ji Qiu had been there before and obtained the Xiping Stone Classics and the secret technique of transforming into a dragon from there.

Today, the secret techniques of the Seven Confucian Classics on the Xiping Stone Classics have been popularized throughout the county along with Taishan County's education popularization plan.

The secret technique of transforming into a dragon has become one of Ji Qiu's most important secret techniques.

But these secret techniques are only a very small part of the secret techniques in Qianjin Hall.

Qianjin Hall also stores a large number of books on secret techniques, including the secret techniques of the Overlord practiced by Xiang Yu, the King of Western Chu!
Not only that, there are also grain stores and money halls in Qianjin Hall, which store immeasurable amounts of money and grain resources.

Ji Qiu had an idea a long time ago, which was to empty Qianjin Hall.

Let the vast resources in Qianjintang become the nourishment for his career to take off!
But there was never an opportunity before.

Now, it's finally time to make this idea a reality!

However, it is not easy to achieve this goal.

Because there is a secret dragon energy technique that seals the space in Qianjin Hall.

This dragon energy secret technique is extremely powerful and can even block Ji Qiu's time and space gate.

This made it impossible for Ji Qiu, who possessed the time and space gate, to sneak into Qianjin Hall.

I can only find a way to crack Qianjintang's secret technique first!

Jia Xu stepped forward and reported, "My lord, according to my investigation, the forbidden secret technique in Qianjin Hall comes from the Imperial Seal!
It is rumored that the imperial seal is an extremely high-level dragon weapon. The secret dragon energy contained in it not only has the ability to seal space, but also has the ability to freeze time.

At that time, Emperor Liu Hong used the secret technique in the imperial seal to seal Qianjin Hall, so that no one could set foot in Qianjin Hall!
Now if the lord wants to crack the secret technique of Qianjin Hall, he must first obtain the imperial seal.

Because, only by using the Imperial Seal can this secret technique be deciphered!"

"The Imperial Seal! This thing is not easy to get!"

Ji Qiu had an even bigger headache.

It is said that the imperial seal is kept in the Chengde Hall in the imperial palace.

That is the most heavily guarded area inside the palace.

It is several levels higher than Qianjin Hall.

If you want to steal the imperial seal from there, it will be more difficult than entering Qianjin Hall!

Jia Xu said in a deep voice: "Actually, it's not that there is no chance.

In my opinion, the situation in Luoyang City is now on the verge of collapse.

The struggle between General He Jin and the Ten Eunuchs has repeatedly crossed the bottom line.

As long as the lord gives them a little push, they will completely lose their minds and start a decisive battle!

Once they change from verbal fighting to physical fighting, the entire palace will become a battlefield.

Then the lord can take advantage of the chaos to enter the palace and seize the imperial seal!"

hiss!
Turn the entire palace into a battlefield?

How many innocent people will die!
Jia Xu truly deserves to be called a vicious and evil person who causes chaos in the country. His plans are always so sinister and cruel.

Human life could not stir the slightest ripple in his heart.

Although Ji Qiu had fought many battles and killed many people after coming to the Longqi Three Kingdoms.

But that was all on the battlefield.

Whether before or after the war, he was very strict in controlling his troops and never disturbed the people.

So it is different from Jia Xu's attitude of completely treating human life as worthless.

However, even if Jia Xu did not plan this way, it seems that in history, the palace eventually became a battlefield.

So this should be considered inevitable?
Hey, wait.

Speaking of historical inevitability, it seems that at this time in history, the Ten Attendants and He Jin had already gone to war.

Although it has not yet reached the imperial palace, it has spread throughout the entire Luoyang city.

But the current situation is a bit strangely calm.

Although everyone knows that the current situation in Luoyang City is very dangerous, both sides have miraculously maintained the last bit of restraint.

What went wrong?

Thinking of this, Ji Qiu couldn't help but ask, "Wenhe, why do you think the Ten Attendants and He Jin can still maintain their last bit of restraint?"

"Of course it's because the power of both sides is maintained in a balanced state!
Although General He Jin nominally had control over the military power of the world, in Luoyang City, he could actually mobilize only a few troops.

Because the previous emperor established the Xiyuan Northern Army and appointed eight Xiyuan colonels, a large amount of military power was taken away from He Jin.

Therefore, He Jin only had less than 3,000 personal troops under his command.

It's not that he didn't think about resistance. He once secretly sent the Cavalry Commander Bao Xin back to his hometown in Taishan County to recruit soldiers and horses in order to strengthen the strength of the General's Mansion.

But Bao Xin died at the hands of his lord, so all the soldiers and horses he had recruited were naturally wasted.

Of course, he has the support of the aristocratic families headed by the Yuan family.

This was originally an important force that could influence the situation in Luoyang.

But the lord first destroyed the Yuan family’s military camp, and then destroyed Dong Zhuo’s two thousand Western Liang cavalry outside the city of Luoyang.

These are the important forces deployed by the aristocratic families in Luoyang City and its surrounding areas.

After losing these two forces, the influence of the aristocratic families on Luoyang City declined rapidly.

When the previous emperor was alive, he even controlled Luoyang and the surrounding three auxiliary areas for a time.

Later, the Yuan family continued to allocate forces to compete with the previous emperor for control of the Sanfu area, and even rebuilt the Yuan family military camp in Tianmen Mountain, but it was still difficult to restore the strength of the past.

Therefore, even if He Jin joins forces with the aristocratic families, he can only achieve a balance in military combat effectiveness with the Northern Army controlled by the Ten Attendants.

Under such circumstances, neither side dares to act rashly."

"..." Ji Qiu.

It turns out that this is his fault!
After all, it was the flapping of his wings like a butterfly that triggered the chain reaction.

But it can't be considered as random fanning, after all, he also got corresponding benefits.

"Then how can we destroy this balance?" Ji Qiu asked.

Jia Xu said, "It depends on whether the lord wants the Ten Attendants to take action or He Jin to take action.

If the Ten Eunuchs are to take action, they should suppress the power of He Jin and the aristocratic families, such as destroying the Yuan family’s military camp once again!
Instead of asking He Jin to take action to suppress the power of the Ten Attendants, it would be better to weaken the combat effectiveness of the Northern Army.

However, if the Ten Eunuchs were to take action first, the battlefield would most likely be He Jin's General's Mansion, which would not be in line with the lord's goal of creating chaos in the palace and then seizing the imperial seal.

Therefore, I suggest that we weaken the Northern Army's fighting capacity and let He Jin take the first step!"

"Weaken the combat effectiveness of the Northern Army... Why is your suggestion to weaken the combat effectiveness of the Northern Army instead of destroying the Northern Army?" Ji Qiu asked in some surprise.

Jia Xu said: "My lord, what you need now is to unbalance the situation in Luoyang City, not to let it collapse!
Weakening the Northern Army's combat effectiveness would be equivalent to reducing the strength of the Ten Attendants, but they still have the strength to fight.

This will allow them to fight back desperately when He Jin attacks, and then turn the palace into a battlefield, which is a good opportunity for the lord to take advantage of the chaos!

However, if the Northern Army were completely destroyed, there would be an unbridgeable gap in power between the Ten Attendants and He Jin.

This will only make the Ten Attendants lose the courage to fight to the death and admit defeat.

At that time, He Jin will smoothly take over the palace and gain power smoothly.

This is actually detrimental to the Lord's purpose!"

"I see!"

Ji Qiu nodded secretly, and at the same time confirmed again that Jia Xu was indeed a vicious person who was causing chaos in the country.

All his strategies are based on interests. There is not a single bit of compassion in his heart, and he is completely cold-blooded and ruthless!
But this is the counselor he needs.

Especially after planting the dragon seed in Jia Xu, his original way of thinking, which was based on his own interests, changed to one that was based on the interests of his lord. It felt so good!
“But how can we weaken the Northern Army’s combat effectiveness?

"It should be a very difficult task to reduce their combat effectiveness while not letting them lose it." Ji Qiu frowned.

Jia Xu said, "It's not that difficult actually. I have three strategies: good, medium, and bad. My lord, please choose one."

"Are there any three strategies, good, medium and bad? Tell me about them." Ji Qiu said.

Jia Xu said: "The best strategy is to assassinate General Xu Rong!
The commander of the Northern Army was Jian Shuo, the commander of the Upper Army and the head of the Eight Commandants of Xiyuan.

However, Jian Shuo himself did not have strong leadership ability, so the one who actually led the Northern Army into battle was General Xu Rong.

Xu Rong was very capable in commanding troops and was a talented person from a humble background who rose to the position of General of the Central Army based on his true abilities.

But his own combat effectiveness is not high. If the lord can bring a few generals to raid and assassinate this person, the success rate should be extremely high.

If Xu Rong dies, the Northern Army's combat effectiveness will be reduced by at least 30%.

"As for assassinating Xu Rong, aren't there two other strategies? Tell me about them first." Ji Qiu frowned.

Deep down, he didn't really want to use this method.

It’s not that it’s impossible.

But Xu Rong came from a humble family but was an outstanding commander, making him someone he could win over.

Since he had the opportunity to be won over again, he naturally didn't want to kill the other party.

Jia Xu said, "A middle strategy is to ask Military Advisor Zhicai to plan a strategy to lure the Northern Army out of the city, then ambush them outside the city and kill some of their troops. This will also weaken our army's combat effectiveness.

However, there are many powerful people in Luoyang City. Even if one plans with wisdom and talent, there is a possibility that the plan will be seen through.

Therefore, there is a probability of failure in this plan.

At the same time, even if we succeed in moving the Northern Army out of Luoyang City, if we want to defeat the Northern Army led by Xu Rong, I am afraid that our army will have to send out all four battalions at the same time, and we must be mentally prepared for heavy casualties in all four battalions.

But I don’t know if my lord can bear this price.”

"Well, let's talk about the worst plan first." Ji Qiu continued with a frown.

This strategy is really a bit fucked up.

The most important thing is that it makes him feel like he is working for a wealthy family, taking the trouble to provide his own food.

It is really hard to understand the thoughts in my mind!

Jia Xu said: "The worst option is to poison!

The Northern Army was stationed in the West Garden, and they were stationed en masse. If they could be poisoned and weakened, their combat effectiveness would also be reduced. However, this strategy was more difficult, less effective, and more uncertain than the previous two.
First of all, choosing which poison to use and how much to use is a difficult issue.

There are many famous doctors in Luoyang City. If common poisons are chosen, I am afraid the Northern Army can easily detoxify them.

At the same time, the dosage of poison is also critical. Too little may not work, and too much may cause a large number of Union soldiers to be blocked and killed.

Therefore, it requires very professional people to do this.

Secondly, it is difficult to accurately control the combat effectiveness of the Northern Army by using poison to reduce its combat effectiveness.

Because a soldier's willpower can be less corrosive than the poison's effect on the body.

At the same time, some Dragon Qi secret techniques can also restore soldiers' status and clear toxins. At present, it is difficult for us to determine which Dragon Qi secret techniques are available in the Northern Army.

Third, when using poison, especially on a large area, it is difficult to precisely control the area of ​​use.

We must consider what to do if the scope of this poison is not limited to the Northern Army, but spreads to the entire Luoyang City?
Given the current chaotic situation in Luoyang City, the situation might get completely out of control.

I'm afraid it will affect the lord's other plans!

In summary, I do not recommend that you use this strategy, my lord."

"No, I've decided to use this strategy!" Ji Qiu snapped his fingers and said decisively.

Although Jia Xu's analysis made sense, Ji Qiu still believed that this was the most suitable plan for him!
There are two reasons.

First, he just happens to have talented people in this area under his command.

Using poison as a means, when used on a person, can be called poisoning.

But using it on a group of people is like spreading a plague.

Zhang Zhongjing, the head of the Ministry of Health under Ji Qiu, is not only the most outstanding internal medicine doctor of the time, but also the most outstanding medical expert in the thousands of years of human civilization history.

His research direction happens to be the prevention and control of plague!
Since ancient times, medicine and poison have been integrated. Those who are good at preventing and treating plague must be good at creating plague!
So this extremely difficult thing for others is not so difficult for Ji Qiu.

Secondly, this may be the plan with the least loss, the fastest goal achievement, the safest action, and the highest profit.

First of all, releasing the plague on the Northern Army will not cause any damage to their own army.

Secondly, this matter does not require any other arrangements. As long as Ji Qiu is well prepared, it can be implemented immediately.

Third, because there is no need for a layout, it is unlikely that anyone will see through the layout.

Fourth, by reducing the combat effectiveness of the Northern Army due to the plague, he could not only break the current balance in Luoyang City without sacrificing the lives of the Northern Army soldiers, but also allow him to subdue the Northern Army by treating them afterwards.

In this way, the last powerful army of the Eastern Han Dynasty court, which was built by Liu Hong at the expense of all the financial resources in the world, will be used by Ji Qiu!
This alone makes it worthwhile for Ji Qiu to use this method!

However, after saying so much above, it is actually just an analysis of the request for payment from the perspective of pros and cons.

However, these analyses cannot actually determine whether he can use this strategy.

What can really decide whether this strategy can be used is the professional opinion of professionals.

Thinking of this, Ji Qiu waved his hand to signal Jia Xu and Wei He to retreat.

The two of them bowed together and then left the attic.

Ji Qiu opened the space-time gate and headed to Taishan County only after the two of them left.

……

Taishan County, Fenggao County, Ministry of Health, Laboratory Building.

This is the most heavily guarded area of ​​the Ministry of Health.

Ji Qiu dispatched personal guards from the personal guard camp to provide 24-hour uninterrupted guard work.

Because there are many extremely dangerous experimental subjects stored here.

As mentioned before, Zhang Zhongjing's greatest medical expertise was in preventing and treating plague.

So it is conceivable that most of the test subjects he stored in the experimental building were various plague bacteria.

If any of the plague bacteria here spreads, it could cause disaster to the entire world.

So be careful!

Ji Qiu found Zhang Zhongjing in Laboratory No. 3, then asked him to leave the laboratory and bring him to the office to talk.

He informed Zhang Zhongjing of his request and asked if he could come up with a special toxin that was only targeted at the Northern Army soldiers.

Zhang Zhongjing pondered for a moment and said, "My lord, it is not impossible that you want a toxin specifically targeting the Northern Army.

As far as I know, the Northern Army is a powerful army that has practiced the secret arts of the Yulin Army!
I have recently been studying the medical books given to me by my lord, and my horizons have been broadened. I can't help but have a completely new understanding of things in this world.

In the past, subordinates took the magical effects of many dragon energy secret techniques for granted.

But now I feel that the reason these secret techniques can have such miraculous effects is probably because the practitioners' genes have been altered."

"Genes?" Ji Qiu asked in surprise.

Zhang Zhongjing smiled and said, "Indeed, using appearance and language to divide races is, in my opinion, a very unscientific method.

The truly scientific method of division should actually be based on genes.

Organisms with the same genes can be classified into the same category.

Organisms with different genes are divided into different species.

Genes not only determine the species of an organism, but also its abilities.

Ants can lift objects sixty times higher than their own weight because the strength genes in their bodies are far more powerful than those of humans!

If humans possessed a stronger power gene than ants, they would naturally be stronger than ants!"

"Well, that's indeed the case." Ji Qiu nodded.

Zhang Zhongjing's theory might be shocking if applied to the Three Kingdoms period.

But for Ji Qiu, who received modern education since childhood, it was common sense, so there was no difficulty in understanding it.

Zhang Zhongjing continued, "If we continue to speculate based on this theory, it's not difficult to conclude that the reason why practitioners of the Dragon Qi Secret Technique are able to possess various extraordinary powers is probably because their genes have been altered.

So in essence, the soldiers who have practiced the secret art of strengthening the army are no longer considered human beings.

Although they can still communicate with ordinary humans and even reproduce, they are two completely different species from ordinary humans."

"Yeah, that's right." Ji Qiu continued to nod.

Zhang Zhongjing continued, "Not only are the soldiers of the strong army no longer the same species as ordinary people, but the soldiers of the strong army who practice different strong army secret techniques are also different species.

Because different military strengthening secret techniques have different cultivation effects, and the answer reflected by this is that they cultivate different genetic segments in the human body."

"Well, yes." Ji Qiu nodded again, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Zhang Zhongjing continued, "So, let's go back to the topic I just mentioned. The secret technique for strengthening the army that the Northern Army soldiers practiced is the Yulin of the world!
At the same time, as far as I know, in the world today, apart from the Northern Army, there is no other strong army that can train the World Yulin.

In other words, they belong to a unique species!
Therefore, according to the Lord's request, as long as we create a poison specifically targeting the practitioners of the Yulin secret arts, we can achieve our goal! "

"You are absolutely right! Mr. Zhongjing is worthy of being the medical saint of our time. He looks at the essence of the problem and solves the problem directly to the core. I really admire him!" Ji Qiu clapped his hands and praised.

But Zhang Zhongjing shook his head and said, "My lord, you are too kind.

It was only after reading the books brought by the lord that I realized this truth. It was just repeating what others have said and is not worth mentioning at all.

Besides, the difficulty of this matter does not lie here."

"Then I wonder where the difficulty lies? Could you please explain it to me, Mr. Zhongjing?" Ji Qiu asked hurriedly.

Zhang Zhongjing said, “In order to develop a toxin specifically targeting the practitioners of the Yulin secret arts, I need two things.

The first one is a living practitioner of the secret arts of the Yulin clan.

The second is the complete content of practicing the secret arts of the Yulin Army!
The former allows me to study the specific genetic conditions of the Yu Lin practitioners in the world, and the latter allows me to understand how the secret techniques of the Yu Lin practitioners in the world allow them to change their genetic status.

Only by obtaining these two things can we develop a toxin specifically targeting all practitioners of the Yulin secret arts!"

"Well, that makes sense. These two things are indeed necessary for developing this kind of toxin!"

Ji Qiu nodded in agreement with Zhang Zhongjing's request, but his brows couldn't help but furrowed.

Of Zhang Zhongjing's two requests, the former one was easy to do, as the Northern Army soldiers had all practiced the secret arts of the Yulin Army, so all they had to do was grab a few soldiers and they would be fine.

But the latter is more difficult.

The complete version of the secret art of the Yulin Army, which is usually only possessed by the army commander who practices this secret art.

In other words, in the entire Northern Army, Xu Rong is probably the only one who has the complete version of the Tianxia Yulin secret technique!

Do I have to go to Xu Rong to ask for the secret techniques of the Yulin Army?
Ji Qiu was unwilling to do this.

Because this is totally like taking off your pants to fart!

The best strategy Jia Xu had suggested to him just now was to let him assassinate Xu Rong.

It was because he did not want to assassinate Xu Rong that he finally chose to use poisoning to reduce the combat effectiveness of the Northern Army.

If we kidnap Xu Rong now in order to produce the toxin, wouldn't that be going in circles?
It would be better to just choose the best strategy and assassinate Xu Rong!
But apart from Xu Rong, where else could one know the secret techniques of the Yulin Army?

Well, there must be one in Qianjin Hall.

Ji Qiu saw it when he first entered Qianjin Hall.

But isn't the purpose of him doing all this just to be able to enter Qianjin Hall?
If he could get the secret technique of Qianjintang, why would he need to do all these crap!

Huh?
correct!

There is another person who must also have the secret skills of the Yulin Army in the world!

Ji Qiu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly thought of someone.

That is the real owner of the Northern Army, the Captain of the Upper Army, Jian Shuo!

The Northern Army is the only powerful army in the world that practices the secret art of strengthening the army.

Jian Shuo was appointed by Liu Hong as the chief of the eight commanders of Xiyuan when the Northern Army was first formed.

So he was the actual founder and actual owner of the Northern Army.

Although he was not good at military formations, he handed over the command of the Northern Army to Xu Rong.

But in terms of prestige and status in the Northern Army, Jian Shuo was actually above Xu Rong.

Therefore, it is impossible that he does not have the secret techniques of the powerful military of the Yulin Army in his hands!
