NOVEL NEXT Chapter 45: Family layout, first hearing about Taiping Road
"If my guess is correct, the one who secretly helped the barbarians must be Wang Qi, the Qilin son of the Wang family."
"It's actually him?"
As they both belong to a large clan in Bingzhou, Zhang Liao obviously knew Wang Qi.
"Ten years ago, Wang Qi failed in his bid to become the head of the family, so he left the family in anger and has not been heard from since.
Thinking about it now, he should have gone to the Barbarian Royal Court. "
Zheng Xuan slowly told a secret about the Wang family in the past years.
"Could it be that... Wang Qi came here to take revenge on the main line of the Wang family?" Zhang Liao frowned slightly.
Zheng Xuan smiled and shook his head: "You think of the aristocratic family too simply. They never plan for a moment, but for eternity!
How do you know that Wang Qi's escape was not part of the Wang family's plan? "
"What do you mean...Wang Qi is a pawn left by the Wang family to the barbarians?"
Although Zhang Liao also came from an aristocratic family, his background was still shallow after all, and he had no idea about the principles of doing things of those top aristocratic families.
"But, why would the Wang family do this?"
Zhang Liao didn't understand, what was the point of arranging the barbarians?
In front of the Han Empire, the small barbarians were nothing more than scabies and were nothing to worry about.
If it weren't for the fact that the barbarian territory was all wasteland and their occupation was useless, the Han Dynasty would have sent a large army to trample it to the ground. How could it have been allowed to jump up and down at the Han border gate.
"Don't forget, there was a descendant of the Yin Yang family in the previous generation of the Wang family."
Zheng Xuan took a sip of tea and continued:
"And the Yin Yang family has always been good at divination. Perhaps it was the one from the Wang family who calculated that the Han Dynasty would perish and the barbarians would rise."
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Liao didn't think anything of it. He just thought that Zheng Xuan said it casually.
In his heart, it is not impossible for the Han Dynasty to be at its peak in the Spring and Autumn Period, with numerous outstanding people, and to last for thousands of years.
However, Liu Ye couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this.
As a modern person, he naturally knows what will happen to the big man.
The world is divided into three parts, and the princes are fighting!
It was precisely because of the years of war that the vitality of the entire Central Plains was severely damaged, that the later Wu Huan Hua came into being.
Although there are no barbarians such as Xiongnu and Rongdi in this world, there is a more powerful barbarian tribe.
If we follow the normal development trajectory of history, it is unlikely that barbarians will take over the Central Plains in the end.
In a sense, the heir to the Wang family's Yin-Yang family was truly remarkable, having directly seen what would happen a hundred years later.
"Young Liu seems to have something to say?"
Zheng Xuan noticed something strange about Liu Ye and couldn't help but ask aloud.
"I do believe that the Han Dynasty is undergoing changes unprecedented in a thousand years."
Liu Ye feels that it is still appropriate to state some future trends, which may be able to change some things.
Although the general trend is irreversible, it depends on man-made efforts, so we have to work hard for it.
"Oh? What did you see, little friend?"
Zheng Xuan didn't seem surprised by Liu Ye's words.
"Peace Road."
Liu Ye didn't say much, just said three words slowly.
Everyone here is not mediocre, so they can naturally understand the meaning of Liu Ye's words.
"Since my study tour, I have heard a little bit about Taiping Dao, and its followers are spread all over the country.
It is rumored that Master Taiping is a third-grade Taoist heavenly master with great supernatural powers and advocates saving the world and the people, so he is quite prestigious among the people.
If you really have different intentions, it will indeed cause a lot of trouble for the court. "
As soon as Zheng Xuan said this, Zhang Liao couldn't sit still.
"Is this really true? Then we must report to the imperial court as soon as possible to send troops to quell the chaos."
Zheng Xuan shook his head and laughed: "You think too simply. How do you know that there is no aristocratic family behind Taiping Road?"
Liu Ye deeply believed in Zheng Xuan's words.
With Taiping Dao's unparalleled development speed, no one would believe it without the support of aristocratic families.
"Okay, let's not talk about this. The top priority now is how to deal with the 100,000 barbarian army outside the city."
Zheng Xuan waved his hand, obviously not wanting to say anything more on this matter.
Afterwards, Zhang Liao introduced the plan he had made with Liu Ye in detail, and Zheng Xuan nodded repeatedly.
"I didn't expect that Liu Xiaoyou is not only proficient in poetry, but also very familiar with the art of war!"
Zheng Xuan looked at Liu Ye with more and more satisfaction. This was not just a piece of jade, it was simply a monster.
"Old Zheng praises me."
Liu Ye smiled sheepishly.
"My little friend, there is no need to be modest. Those sixteen words alone have already conveyed the essence of war.
If this little friend follows the path of a military strategist, he will be a semi-sage in the future! "
Zheng Xuan's evaluation was not low. Even Zhang Liao, who was well versed in the art of war, couldn't help but cast a surprised look at him.
Zheng Xuan's expression remained unchanged. Others might not be able to hear the true meaning contained in these sixteen words. How could he not be able to hear it as a fourth-grade Wenzong.
If he had never heard this sentence before, and Liu Ye was indeed sitting in front of him.
He even doubted whether this sentence came from the mouth of a certain military strategist and semi-saint.
If Liu Ye knew what Zheng Xuan was thinking at this time, he would definitely shout, "You always see accurately."
As for whether the person who said this reached the level of a military strategist and a semi-saint, he did not dare to judge for himself.
……
The next day, after a day of repairs, the barbarian army of 100,000 troops came to the city again, but compared to yesterday, their morale was obviously weakened.
Tatata!
Suddenly, a young barbarian general holding a mace rushed out from the barbarian army.
"I am the barbarian general - Tuoba Lie, who dares to fight in a certain battle!"
The sound was like thunder, shaking the eardrums of all the soldiers at Yanmen Pass.
"Good guy, is Zhang Fei possessed?"
Liu Ye couldn't help but pick his ears.
"Song Xian, go and try his skills."
Zhang Liao looked at the deputy general on the side.
"The last general takes command!"
Song Xian didn't say anything nonsense, turned around and walked off the city wall.
"Song Xian?"
Liu Ye's heart moved when he heard this, and his eyes of truth opened.
【Name】: Song Xian (blue)
[Practice]: Martial Arts
[Realm]: Blood exchange (9 times)
[Strength]: 5800 pounds
[Wen Qi]: 0
[Techniques]: Sword Technique (Dacheng), Spear Technique (Perfect)
[Combat Power]: Excellent
He is worthy of being one of the Eight Great Generals. Although he is not as good as Zhang Liao, he is still enough to be ranked among the second-rate generals in the world.
Liu Ye then looked at Tuoba Lie, who was still calling for formation under the city.
[Name]: Tuoba Lie (green)
[Practice]: Martial Arts
[Realm]: Gathering Qi (Introduction)
[Strength]: 7000 pounds
[Wen Qi]: 0
[Technique]: Stick Technique (Perfect)
【Combat Power】: Elite
"not good!"
"What's wrong, dear brother?"
Zhang Liao looked at Liu Ye with confusion.
"Brother Zhang, let General Song come back quickly. The barbarian general opposite is in the seventh level Qi Gathering Realm.
Although he is just getting started, if he breaks out with all his strength from the beginning, General Song may not be able to withstand it. "
This was also Liu Ye's negligence. He never expected that the barbarians would send Qi-gathering generals from the beginning.
Shouldn't an existence of this level be the finale?
"Qi Gathering Realm?"
Zhang Liao was also shocked and didn't bother to think about why Liu Ye could see the opponent's cultivation. He quickly sent someone to notify Song Xian to come back.
But not even a minute later, the city gate below suddenly opened, and Song Xian was seen holding a spear and riding a black horse rushing towards the barbarian general opposite.
"That's too late."
Liu Ye couldn't help but sigh.
But if he remembers it well, Song Xian should have lived a long time in history.
Is it because the world is different and some details are different?
Liu Ye doesn't understand, but people should be saved anyway.
Although Song Xian was a bad person, he betrayed Lu Bu in the later stage.
But at least now, the opponent is a soldier guarding the border.
Based on this alone, Liu Ye would never allow the other party to die in the hands of a barbarian general.
At this time, Song Xian had already fought with Tuoba Lie.
As expected, as soon as the fight began, the spear in Song Xian's hand was knocked away by the opponent's stick.
Then, in Song Xian's horrified eyes, a huge mace hit his head.
If this stick is smashed, it will definitely lead to death or life.
"My life is over!"
Song Xian looked desperate, but the next second, a golden stream of light broke through the air!
