The Battle of Chibi, also known as the Burning of Chibi, was one of the famous battles in Chinese history in which the weak defeated the strong. At that time, Cao Cao led an army of land and water, known as a million lions, to first launch the Battle of Jingzhou and then attack Sun Quan.
Sun Quan and Liu Bei formed an alliance to resist Cao's army at Chibi on the Yangtze River. Commanded by Zhou Yu, a famous general from Soochow, they defeated Cao's army at Chibi and established the Three Kingdoms.
Since the soldiers of Cao's army were not suitable for fighting on water, Cao Cao adopted the strategy of his counselors and locked the warships together with iron ropes so that they would be as if they were walking on flat ground.
Zhou Yu and Huang Gai first tried a bitter trick and beat Huang Gai severely. Huang Gai pretended to surrender to Cao's army, set fire to the warships of his troops, and rushed into Cao's naval camp. Liu Bei's military advisor Zhuge Liang borrowed the east wind, and the fire borrowed the wind's force and drove hundreds of thousands of Cao's troops to water.
The military warships were burned to the ground and the final victory was achieved in one fell swoop.
...
The more than 40 monks from various sects who participated in the Brave Trial were dizzy, and the scene in front of them changed:
Everywhere you looked, there were flames soaring into the sky, broken limbs and arms, and rivers of blood; in your ears you could hear the deafening shouts of killing, the sound of gold and iron, screams and wails; the huge warships floating on the Yangtze River had already burned.
A raging fire broke out, but the soldiers on the ship still fought desperately. Figures wrapped in the fire jumped into the rolling Yangtze River with howls...
The monks had never seen such a bloody and tragic scene before. Every one of them was so frightened that they were stunned, their faces were pale, and they were at a loss for a moment.
Just when everyone was hesitant and helpless, a message appeared in their minds: "Trial of the Brave - Battle of Chibi, prepare for battle during the day, enter the trial at night, and exit the battle for that day if you die in battle. Kill a Cao Jun pawn to get one point.
Points, one general will get ten points. It lasts for one year, and the person who accumulates the most points will get the inheritance, and the rest will be killed without mercy!"
After reading this message, all the monks raised their heads one by one, and their hesitant eyes became firm, and then revealed a trace of bloodthirsty and coldness.
He lowered his head and looked at himself. He was wearing the unified armor of Wu Jun or Liu Jun, and felt the power of the forbidden magic. He still couldn't lift half of the magic power. Then he picked up the spear and iron halberd in his hand and charged towards Cao Jun's soldiers with a roar.
....
...
Wang Chao and the other two monks who participated in the Wise Man Trial were each transported to a separate but identical space:
The blue sky was cloudless, and the gentle breeze caressed my cheeks.
Although there is no sun in the sky, there is plenty of light. As far as the eye can see, there is a vast expanse of land, which can be seen for several miles. The flat stone ground has no gaps, and the light can detect people; in the distance, there is a giant peak that towers into the sky.
Proudly independent, straight into the nine heavens.
There is nothing else but a mountain and a person standing between this bare sky and earth. A strange feeling arises in my heart: Is it arrogance? Or is it loneliness?...
The three people put away the fluctuations in their hearts and thought over and over again in their minds what was recorded in historical documents and classics such as "Three Kingdoms" and "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" about Huarong Dao:
Huarong Road: In the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao was defeated by the allied forces of Sun and Liu and fled to Huarong Road. Liu Bei's military advisor Zhuge Liang deduced Cao Cao's route of defeat and calculated that Cao Cao's energy was not exhausted. If he killed him, he would destroy the world he had carefully built.
The situation was favorable, so Guan Yu was sent to ambush Huarong Road to intercept and kill him.
Guan Yu intercepted the defeated Cao Cao on Huarong Road, but was moved by his words, felt his kindness, and released him privately at the risk of beheading.
Another perfect interpretation of Guan Yu's story of righteousness, it is exactly this: Cao Mao was defeated and fled to Huarong, and met Guan Gong on a narrow road. Just because of his original kindness, he let go of the golden lock and ran away from the dragon.
Later generations invented a game based on this historical allusion, as Huarong said: It is on a chessboard composed of twenty squares, with one group of four small squares (Cao Cao), and five groups of two small squares.
Group (Five Tiger Generals), a group of four small squares (four small soldiers). But Guan Yu has two small squares horizontally, and the other four generals have two small squares vertically...
.
Although it is just a small jigsaw puzzle, it integrates five thousand years of Chinese wisdom. The fastest way to walk on Huarong Road is 100 steps in China and 82 steps in Japan. Later, Americans used computers and used the exhaustive method to find
After coming up with the final solution, they thought there could be no faster solution, 81 steps...
...
As if to confirm the thoughts of Wang Chao and the other three, Guandi's majestic voice immediately sounded in his ears:
"The Trial of the Wise - Huarong Dao, when I broke through that day, I had an insight into the future. I occasionally saw future generations playing this game. The secrets of heaven and earth are contained in a small space. Although its original intention was inevitably meant to be ridiculing, I laughed it off and dismissed it.
Arrange it in front of you and solve it in 36 steps."
"When I later created this secret trial realm, I had a whim and spent a month using more than a dozen of Huarong Tao's formation methods, such as "Horizontal knife and horse", "Close at hand", "Passing five levels"
, "water is blocked", "swallows come out of the nest" and other gameplay methods, integrate them and lay out this large-scale Huarong Road puzzle. The puzzle winds for dozens of miles, and you can climb to the top of the distant peak to see the overall situation; the time limit is one year to solve the puzzle
The one who gets the inheritance from my brother Bei, the other two will be killed without mercy!"
The voice faded, and the three people behaved differently:
Wang Chao's face was solemn, and without thinking, he used Qinggong and flew towards the giant peak in the distance;
The young monk from the Shaolin Temple smiled and stretched out his right hand to touch Guang Keren's head. His brows revealed infinite wisdom. After a moment, he raised his legs and ran quickly towards the giant peak;
Another casual cultivator from the late Juyuan period, he has big shoulders, round waist, and strong muscles. His thick lips looming in the thorns on his face are curled up, revealing a pair of white teeth, which makes him look honest and honest. In his eyes, which are as small as lamp wicks, but with pea-like pupils.
It was turning gurglingly at an extraordinary speed. After a while, excitement shone in its little eyes. While lowering its head and carefully looking at the stone floor in front of it, it ran forward quickly.
...
Zhang Yun undoubtedly chose to accept Guan Yu's trial of righteousness - riding alone for thousands of miles.
The space that came into view was an ancient battlefield, with broken weapons, armor, burning chariots, damaged flags and mottled blood everywhere.
Wearing a set of close-fitting soft armor, he stood in the battlefield. A few meters away from him was a tall long-handled sword, the handle of which was deeply inserted into the soil. A sacred fiery red horse was silently guarding him.
The master's sword is waiting for the master to ride.
Zhang Yun recognized the sword and horse at a glance. They were exactly the standard equipment used by Guan Er Ye on the battlefield, the Qinglong Yanyue Sword and the Rouge Red Rabbit Horse.
While he was observing carefully, the image of Emperor Guan's head appeared in the sky, and the majestic voice immediately sounded in his ears:
"Little guy, I'm very pleased that you chose my inheritance trial! In the next year, you must rely on one person, one sword, and the power of a horse to run thousands of miles, pass five levels, and kill six generals.
It’s not an exaggeration to kill someone in ten steps, and leave no trace in a thousand miles! The path to the true peak of martial arts must go through the baptism of mountains of corpses and seas of blood and wandering on the edge of life and death countless times, which is both a test and an opportunity.”
"This Qinglong Yanyue Sword and the Rouge Red Rabbit Horse have accompanied me in my life of military battles, and we are brothers and sisters! The Qinglong Yanyue Sword is not a weapon from this world. I found it in a meteorite crater when I was young. I broke through the void and ascended to the realm of extreme martial arts.
After some calculations, I learned that the owner of the Qinglong Yanyue Sword who has been waiting for thousands of years is not me. I could have taken it away by force, but in the end I chose to keep it and let it complete its mission! I am also the same with Red Rabbit Horse.
And leave them to you, hope you treat them well!"
"I will teach you some basic sword skills, riding skills, and skills. The ten thousand armored warriors on the battlefield will use them to sharpen your swords and kill them all before you start to officially enter the level. You pass the test of the first level, and the scene
It will automatically change to the next level, and so on. If you do not complete the trial within one year, if you pass the level, you will be killed without mercy!"
As soon as Guan Di finished speaking, the illusory big hand waved in the air, and bloody pictures appeared in Zhang Yun's mind: Guan Di was holding a green dragon and moon sword, with a rouge and red rabbit horse under his crotch. He raised the knife and dropped it, and the head of a generation of generals fell to the ground;
The horse swung his sword in the thicket, causing limbs to be broken, and weapons and armor to fly all over the sky. They charged head-on, and when they were about to encounter each other, Guan Di leaned over and cut off the horse's leg with his sword. The red rabbit horse made a huge circle in the air, and Guan Di casually struck out with another knife.
Zhang Yun closed his eyes and meditated for a moment. When he opened his eyes, he was startled again, and a trace of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
In the ancient battlefield where he was at this time, pairs of soldiers wearing cold armor were walking by him, and there were people everywhere in the darkness: "These are the ten thousand armored warriors that Emperor Guan said! Let's
Should I kill them all? You’re not joking!”
Thinking in his mind, he made a move and hid behind a broken chariot, observing it carefully.
After a while, he woke up and said, "These armored warriors should have noticed me a long time ago! Why didn't they attack me when I was meditating before? It seems that these soldiers will not take the initiative to attack."
Thinking of this, he tried to appear in front of a small group of soldiers, but found that he was like air in their eyes and was ignored.
So, he walked out boldly, came to the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, stretched out his right hand to hold the handle of the knife, and pulled it upward.
"Hey!" But the big knife didn't rise up in response. Zhang Yun couldn't help but blush, and looked around, then he held the handle of the knife with both hands, mobilized his internal strength, exhaled and said: "Get up!"
The Qinglong Yanyue Knife rose in response. At this moment, Zhang Yun only felt the human being. The knife had a sense of flesh and blood. The blade was also trembling slightly. An emotion of joy and dependence was introduced into his mind, and then there was a clear dragon roar.
issued from the knife.
He couldn't help but feel excited: "This feeling seems familiar. Where have I felt it before?..."
After pondering for a long time, he suddenly blurted out with an exclamation: "The Qilin sword is the Qilin sword! Every time I pour my inner energy into the blade, I will feel the feeling of the sword. I always suspect that I am delusional!"
"Is there any special connection between them? It's hard to say! Let's study it slowly in the future! Let's master Guandi's sword skills and horsemanship first."
He lowered his head and carefully looked at the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand. The blade was like a crescent moon, glowing with the cold light of the green forest. The relief of a green dragon was lifelike, as if it were made in heaven. The handle, which was nearly eight meters long, was evenly distributed with fine scale-like lines.
After a brief weighing, this knife weighs two hundred kilograms, which is quite different from the eighty-two kilograms mentioned in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. However, this weight is not a problem for Zhang Yun, but if he wants to use it like an arm finger,
It is not easy to use it skillfully.
Holding the knife in one hand, he came to the side of the red rabbit horse, pulled the reins, jumped on the horse's back with his legs floating on the ground, and was about to pat the horse and move forward. The red rabbit horse suddenly neighed "Herod", and its front legs left.
The ground stood tall and straight, and he was caught off guard and fell to the ground. He fell to pieces, and there were stars in his eyes.
Zhang Yun got up and patted the dust on his body, looked at Chitu Ma with disdain in his eyes, and snorted coldly: "You have quite a temper. I'll take care of you later!"
Although he said this, he did not try to jump on the horse again. Instead, he held the sword in one hand and the reins in the other and walked towards an open space outside the battlefield.
