Chapter 209 Workers must first sharpen their tools if they want to do good things
For the Han Dynasty, a lot of things happened this year. Cao Cao failed to conquer Zhang Xiu, followed by Lu Bu's reform of the old system in Xuzhou, triggering a series of rebellions, and then the vigorous suppression of the rebellion in Xuzhou, at least in the eyes of outsiders
, Xuzhou was very chaotic during this year.
After Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, the princes attacked Yuan Shu. The loudest one was not Cao Cao, but Lu Bu, who was despised by celebrities all over the world. Even after Cao Cao, Lu Bu was the first to take action.
Although it is doubtful whether Chen Deng would join forces with Yuan Shu at this time, Sun Ce is indeed Yuan Shu's general.
It took two months for Lu Bu to conquer Guangling. If the Chen family was wiped out in isolation, it would really shock the world. After all, Cao Cao almost lost his territory when he killed others. Whether it is Chen Gui or Chen Deng, the Chen family has nothing to lose in terms of personality.
The position was no worse than a concession, but in the end Lu Bu was even more ruthless than Cao Cao and slaughtered everyone in his family.
In Yanzhou, the world would have been in chaos already, but in Xuzhou, the Chen family's extermination hardly caused any splash, not at all. This incident naturally attracted strong condemnation and criticism of Lu Bu and Chen Gong from the outside world, but
Inside Xuzhou, there is really no splash, and those who could stir up splash are all dead.
So during that period of time, there was a lot of criticism from the outside world, but inside Xuzhou was as stable as a mountain, and we were doing whatever we were supposed to do.
In the subsequent expedition against Yuan Shu, Lu Bu was actually allowed to defeat Shouchun first. This made many people very dissatisfied with Cao Cao, especially when Lu Bu later took advantage of the opportunity to occupy Jiujiang. Cao Cao also gave the seal of Jiujiang Prefect to Lu Bu, making this dissatisfaction even higher.
, some people even think that Cao Cao secretly has some ulterior secret with Lu Bu.
Of course, there are only a few people who think so, but more people care about whether the imperial seal was taken away by Lu Bu. If the imperial seal is in Lu Bu's hands... or even not in Lu Bu's hands, Cao Cao can use this as an excuse to attack Xuzhou
The voice of sending troops has not stopped since Cao Cao returned to Xuchang.
In any case, this chaotic year has finally passed, and the beginning of the new year is also very peaceful. The princes are busy with their own affairs. However, for Xuzhou, the change in the secret realm of Tianheng Island can be regarded as the first thing at the beginning of the new year.
It's a big deal.
The appearance of every secret realm represents a change in the world. Especially since Zhangjiao, secret realms have appeared more and more frequently. Those like Tian Hengdao that can trigger changes are not too many, but things like Liu
It is impossible to count the little secret realms where there is no movement that Ye encountered.
In Xiapi, Lu Bu and Chen Gong could all vaguely feel the changes coming from the Yuzhou Mountain area. This feeling was very vague, but the two of them were among the best in the world, and they were more sensitive to changes in the world than ordinary people.
.
"Every time the secret realm appears, the number of strangers in the world will increase dramatically. The situation in the world is already stable, but will the opening of the secret realm bring new variables to the world?" Chen Gong looked at the east and sighed.
Lu Bu nodded, not too concerned about this: "Don't worry too much about this matter. Zi Yan said that changes may not be a bad thing for our army!"
Chen Gong: "..."
If your positions were reversed, there would be so much harmony!
He silently cursed in his heart. He didn't know what his disciple was capable of, so he asked Lu Bu to obey him. You must know that when Chen Gong and Lu Bu had the closest relationship, Lu Bu was very wary of Chen Gong. Don't look at him.
Stupid, but maybe he is afraid of being cheated and is wary of everyone, even Gao Shun.
It is precisely because of this that Chen Gong doesn't quite understand why Lu Bu trusts Chu Nan so much. Even if he is a son-in-law, he is still an outsider and not a real son.
Of course, this is also a good thing. For Lu Bu, being able to listen to Chu Nan's words is definitely better than listening randomly or not believing anyone at all.
"Now that Xuzhou has been decided, another change at this time may not be a good thing." Chen Gong sighed, the matter of the secret realm can still be controlled, after all, Tian Heng Island is the hinterland of Xuzhou, and other masters know that Tian Heng Island appears.
It is impossible for variables to come. What Chen Gong is really worried about is the changes in various places after the emergence of this secret realm.
Every time a great secret realm appears, there will be many more people awakening to divine power in the world. Those with divine power appear in the military, and they need to be appeased and reused. Those with divine power appear among the people, and it is best to recruit them. But not everyone will be able to do so after gaining power.
They are all willing to be used by others. The sudden appearance of power can easily make people feel blindly confident.
Every time a secret realm passes, thieves and bandits surge in the world. Zhang Jiao took this opportunity to establish the foundation of the Taiping Sect, which eventually became the Yellow Turban Rebellion that swept the world!
Xuzhou is so close to the secret realm. The number of supernatural beings who appear this time is probably the largest in Xuzhou. Chen Gongjue needs to make preparations in advance.
While he was talking, Chen Gong had a thought in his mind, and suddenly there was an awe-inspiring surge in the courtyard. He was not surprised. Anyone who could do this in Xuzhou would not be an enemy. Besides, even if he was an enemy, he suddenly teleported himself to Lu Bu and Chen Gong.
In front of you, are you dissatisfied with your longevity?
As the two of them looked at each other, they saw the figure in front of them disappear, and Lu Lingqi appeared not far from Lu Bu's side.
"Lingqi?" Lu Bu couldn't help but smile a little at the corner of his eyes when he saw his daughter.
"Dad." Lu Lingqi had not seen her father for many days, so she was naturally very happy. A rare smile appeared on her cold face. Then she saw Chen Gong standing by, and she quickly saluted, "Lingqi has met the teacher."
As Chu Nan's wife, it's not wrong to call Chen Gong teacher.
"It seems that Ziyan has received the letter." Chen Gong nodded and smiled.
"Yes, my husband will be here soon, and there will be a few others." Lu Lingqi nodded.
As he was talking, he saw a surge of awe-inspiring power in the courtyard. The next moment, Zhou Cang appeared in the courtyard in a daze. After a moment of confusion, he saw Lu Bu clearly and quickly bowed his head.
Then came Wei Yan, Liu Ye and Chu Nan.
Huang Zhong was too old to enter the secret realm again, and Chu Nan felt that a general was needed to guard the Lujiang River, so he left Huang Zhong in Lujiang.
"Huh~"
The Qi of Haoran was restored again, and Chu Nan breathed a sigh of relief. Even if the Qi of Haoran could be restored instantly after being teleported all the way, the consumption of God could not be replenished so quickly. In this way, it took turns ten miles and ten miles to teleport, even if Chu Nan's current
God has reached a very high level, but there is still a feeling that it is too much.
"I've met my father-in-law, I've met my teacher." Chu Nan took a deep breath, rubbed his temples, and then saluted the two of them.
"Having rushed back in such a hurry, have the affairs of the two counties been properly arranged?" Chen Gong looked at him for a few times, then put on the air of a teacher and asked in a deep voice.
"Teacher, don't worry, everything is in order. If this were not the case, the disciple would not dare to come back rashly." Chu Nan said with a smile. These matters are related to public popularity and control over Lujiang and Jiujiang counties. Naturally, he will not take it lightly.
"Now that you're back, don't be in a hurry to go to the secret realm." Lu Bu saw Chu Nan's face turning pale, and frowned: "After two days of rest, even if the secret realm is opened, it will only take a few days to get in and get out.
Recuperate your spirit first before entering the secret realm, otherwise you will be too exhausted and there may not be a chance to cultivate in the secret realm."
"Father-in-law, won't you go with me?" Chu Nan asked in surprise.
The reason why he was so active was that he thought Lu Bu would go with them. With Lu Bu here, there would be no need for his little transparent work.
"As soon as the secret realm comes out, the world will change. Gongtai and I will guard this place to avoid accidents. If you go, be careful!" Lu Bu said with a serious face.
In addition, it also means to prevent outsiders from trying to enter the secret realm. With Lu Bu guarding the place outside, there is really no fear of other masters under the princes coming to infiltrate.
Chu Nan nodded silently. If Lu Bu didn't follow him this time, wouldn't the trip to the secret realm be several times more dangerous? He now regretted not bringing Huang Zhong here. If General Huang was here, he would feel confident.
"Father-in-law, can you tell me what dangers there are in the secret realm?" Chu Nan looked at Lu Bu. Since he can't go with him, he should try to find out some information as much as possible, know yourself and the enemy, and fight without danger.
"The secret realm is different from the secret realm. When I entered the secret realm, monsters and beasts appeared frequently in the secret realm. Many monsters that are rarely seen outside can be seen everywhere in the secret realm." Lu Bu recalled that he was in the secret realm that year.
After hearing this, he said: "However, what is even more terrifying is the various poisons in it. Many times, people can be poisoned and die without realizing it. At the time, tens of thousands of Hu and Han tribes entered the secret realm, and in the end, there were not even one survivor in a hundred!"
The surviving barbarians were easily killed by Lu Bu and were shocked. That time in the secret realm left a deep impression on Lu Bu. Being strong in the secret realm certainly has advantages, but you may not have the last laugh.
"In other words, this secret realm is dominated by monsters?" Chu Nan asked curiously.
"That's not the case. Although there are many monsters and beasts, the real person in charge of the secret realm claims to be the clone of the ancient immortal god. His purpose is to kill all those who enter the secret realm. This person seems to really know some magic methods.
The elite died in the hands of this man." Lu Bu recalled the battle that year and said in amazement.
"Then how did my father-in-law win in the end?" Chu Nan asked curiously.
"At that time, I thought we were at the end of the road. In my madness, I struck out with all my might. It was at that time that I realized my talent. With one blow, the immortal clone died under my halberd." Lu Bu said with a smile. The scene that year was obviously
It's still fresh in my memory.
When Chu Nan heard this, he was silent for a long time.
This god is not very good either!
Listening to my father-in-law’s words, I know that my father-in-law back then was far from reaching his peak. Just like this, the father-in-law was killed by one blow, even if it was just a clone. Are the gods in this world a bit... rubbish?
After listening to Lu Bu's narration, Chu Nan suddenly felt that his confidence had returned. However, for the sake of safety, Chu Nan decided to recuperate in Xiapi for a few days to recharge his energy and prepare equipment for everyone, such as anti-virus.
One thing must be said. Although most of the poisons on these people have no obvious effect on them, but what if it happens? Who among the people here dares to say that he is better than Lu Bu in his youth?
For this trip to the secret realm, Chu Nan decided to give everyone a comprehensive upgrade...
