28. The ability to interfere with the environment is the most terrifying strategic weapon!
Wearing a crane cloak, holding a quinoa staff, he has a childish face with blue eyes.⊙,
When Yu Ji met Sun Ce for the second time, his clothes and face had changed greatly.
It feels like I went to a certain Smecta country and got a high-end plastic surgery and came back.
Although in reality, let alone Smecta's technology, even with existing human technology, it is estimated that a person can look like an old man before the month and look like a child after the month without makeup.
Ju, oh no, it's impossible that he has the appearance of a child with gray hair. After all, I've only heard of the technology of changing the head into a body, but I've never heard of the technology of changing the body into a head.
Not to mention a guy like Sun Ce who has an irritable temper, even Zhou Yu couldn't help but twitching at the corners of his eyes when he saw Yu Ji like this. As for the ordinary soldiers and civilians, they have already lit up precious incense and worshiped the road.
Both sides.
Just like what happened in Lou County that day, the trend that Yu Ji could set off far exceeded that of Sun Ce, the lord of Jiangdong.
"How dare Crazy Dao incite people here!"
Although the person was invited by Sun Ce, it seemed that Sun Ce had no intention of "respecting the virtuous corporal" at all. He even asked Yu Ji in a stern voice as soon as they met. It seemed that if Yu Ji didn't answer correctly, he was afraid that he would encounter something bad in the next moment.
The sword is coming.
It's just that this time, Zhou Yu, who had already discussed it beforehand, would not stand up to obstruct Sun Ce like last time. Even now, this famous elegant man from Jiangdong was quietly admiring Sun Ce's look with a calm smile on his face.
His seemingly reckless behavior and Yu Jina's calmness and calmness were no different from the last time in Lou County.
"Pindao is a Taoist priest from Langxie Palace. During the reign of Emperor Shun, he went into the mountains to collect medicines and found a divine book on the Yangqu Spring. He named it "Taiping Qingling Dao". There are more than a hundred volumes of them, all of which contain prescriptions for curing diseases and saving lives. Pindao obtained them.
Until now, I have been preaching on behalf of heaven and saving all people, without taking anything from anyone, let alone inciting people's hearts. Now that I am here, I just want to relieve the suffering of the people."
"You said you don't take anything from others. So where do you get the clothes you wear and the food you use? In my opinion, what is the difference between your behavior and the likes of the demon Dao Huangjin Zhangjiao in those days? If there are no restrictions
, there will definitely be trouble in the future!”
After saying that, he greeted the people around him, and he seemed to want to kill Yu Ji. The soldiers seemed to be a little hesitant about such an order, but in the end they still obeyed Sun Ce as the lord. But the soldiers headed by Zhang Zhao
Sun Ce's trusted subordinates became anxious when they saw that Zhou Yu did not stop Sun Ce's behavior for some unknown reason.
It is naturally impossible for Zhou Yu to undermine his good friend in this situation, not to mention that he is very familiar with Sun Ce's temper and knows very well that although Sun Ce looks very angry now, he still maintains a certain degree of restraint. It can be said that
Yu Ji is indeed an Oscar-level actor, but if he said that Sun Ce was a bad actor, Zhou Yu would definitely laugh out loud.
With no choice, Zhang Zhao had no choice but to lead the civil servants who supported Sun Ce to silence Sun Ce, saying that the Taoist Yu Ji in front of him had really not committed any mistakes in the decades of activities in Jiangdong. If he was killed, he would definitely not be the master of the people.
Things to do.
Unfortunately, it seemed that Sun Ce was still angry even after being remonstrated by his ministers, but he could not disobey his ministers' bitter advice. In the end, he could only choose a more compromise plan with an angry look, which was to
This Yuji Taoist was thrown into prison until it was found out that he was indeed a good person. It would not be too late to release him to make amends - although this situation should probably be impossible.
However, since the Lord has accepted the proposal of his ministers to some extent, as ministers, they should accept it as soon as it suits them. After all, even if they are not as good as Zhou Yu, they still understand Sun Ce's temper very well and know this.
Although this monarch can be said to be soft and hard to a large extent, it is obviously more likely to arouse his anger and madness if he resists than if he is soft.
So under the premise that Sun Ce took a step back, the ministers finally said goodbye and left, but today's meeting came to an end.
However, for Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, Yu Ji is the first thing they have to solve. Even if it is postponed for ten and a half days, it will not affect too many things. If many things are not carried out,
Any major reform, even if Xiao Gui and Cao Sui followed, would not cause too many problems and would not shake the foundation of Sun Ce's army.
However, just after testing out the reaction of his subordinates on this matter, Sun Ce had to face another "great god" blaming him on this matter, and the threat level of this "great god" was different from a certain angle.
Yan is more powerful than those ministers.
Here are Sun Ce's biological mother and his biological mother's sister, as well as the two widows of his father Sun Jian, Mrs. Wu.
Although Sun Ce was in chaos outside and killed countless people decisively on the battlefield, he could be regarded as a filial son and virtuous grandson at home. Although he could not be said to be obedient to the two mothers who had lost their husbands, he was also very kind to them.
Requirements should be met as much as possible.
So when he decided to take such action, he had already thought of the possible consequences.
Speaking of which, the two Mrs. Wu have been living in a quiet room since Sun Jian died in the war, and have not been too involved in worldly affairs. Even though Sun Ce is now an adult, he no longer has any wives or concubines around to take care of him and does not interfere much. In other words, they may still be looking forward to it.
What wonderful ending can Sun Ce have with that beautiful girl from the Yuan family? I hope Sun Ce can change his mind.
However, the two of them could not ignore the fact that Yu Ji Daoren was thrown into prison.
The influence of Buddhists in this era was still very limited. On the contrary, it was the Taoist Huang-Lao School, which also emphasized tranquility and inaction, which had a great appeal to the two women who had lost their support. Yu Ji was not only a very famous longevity
Immortal leader, and has a great reputation in the land of Jiangdong, both public and private, even these two women who are close to seclusion received the news immediately.
"I heard that Ce'er, you used the prison to arrest Taoist Yu Ji who was called 'immortal'. However, this man has cured various diseases and wounds many times, treating people ranging from famous people to ordinary people and soldiers.
Everyone respects him very much. Even if you suspect that he is ambitious, you cannot harm him at will. Not to mention that it may bring endless disasters to yourself."
Sun Ce was completely unmoved by his mother's advice, but it was obviously impossible for him to contradict his mother head-on, so he just reiterated his determination to investigate carefully and neither wrongly accuse a good person nor let a bad person go.
Of course, this also once again strengthened his determination to get rid of Yu Ji, a Taoist.
If he wanted to get rid of Yu Ji before, he instinctively felt that Yu Ji, who was supported by the people and had a huge reputation, was a possible scourge for his rule in Jiangdong, so he wanted to get rid of him in advance. But now, he feels the unparalleled influence of the other party.
, Sun Ce has regarded the other party as a huge stumbling block on his way forward.
However, the mother's worries about her son are not unreasonable. Just because she is worried that Yu Ji has some unpredictable back-ups, Sun Ce, even though the fire in his heart continues to burn his heart and lungs, still restrains himself and continues his relationship with Zhou Yu.
plan.
However, before Sun Ce and Zhou Yu could make their next plan, someone they didn't expect jumped out.
This person was Sun Ce's old subordinate Lu Fan and Lu Ziheng, whom Sun Ce admired very much when he was serving under Yuan Shu and gave up the official position given by Yuan Shu to follow him.
Although Lu Fan is not a very conspicuous figure in Sun Ce's camp, his status is very special - perhaps he has not followed Sun Ce for as long as those who have served the Sun family since the Sun Jian era, such as Cheng Pu and Huang Gai
, Han Dang, Zhu Zhi and others, but they
When he followed Sun Ce, it happened to be when Sun Ce was still young, and although he had just gained some fame but was not qualified to lead an army independently, it can be said that he was completely wise and discerning, and even Sun Ce was able to be used by Yuan Shu. So was Lu Fan.
A lot of effort was put into it.
But now, even though Lu Fan's official position is not high. He holds the title of governor but has no possibility of leading an army independently. He spends all day working as a civil servant in Sun Ce's office of the rebellious general in Wu County, which can be regarded as nominal.
A model, but in fact Lu Fan was in charge of Sun Cejun's central financial power. He was responsible for both Sun Cejun's internal funds and Sun Cejun's treasury.
To put it bluntly, Lu Fan's status is equivalent to today's Finance Minister, and he is also the Finance Minister of the Emperor of the United States, an absolutely powerful figure.
Therefore, from this we can know Sun Ce's trust in Lu Fan, and we can also know what Lu Fan's abilities are.
Moreover, Lu Fan is not only good at making friends and managing finances, but he is also quite good at divination (note). Although it can only be regarded as a hobby, he has gained a little reputation over time, and he has a good accuracy when he occasionally uses it.
.
So, when Zhang Zhao and others kept trying to rescue Yu Ji but failed, he finally stepped forward.
"I have heard from many people that in addition to being able to use special talisman water to cure illnesses and save lives, the Yuji Taoist people are also very good at praying for wind and rain. It just so happens that there is a severe drought in Danyang and Kuaiji right now. If left unchecked, it will definitely affect our army's various projects this year.
If the financial revenue can make the Yuji Taoist pray for sweet rain, not only can he atone for his sins, but the general can also get a glimpse of some of Yuji Taoist's abilities."
Lu Fan is such a person. Although he is not as close as Zhou Yu, a good friend, and in terms of reputation, he is not as good as Huaisi celebrities like Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, or Jiangdong celebrities like Yu Fan and Gu Yong, but for
Even a proud and arrogant person like Zhou Yu couldn't care less about his speech, let alone
To say that his statement is actually quite consistent with Zhou Yu's thoughts. Although this approach may make Yu Ji's reputation further, for Sun Ce who is determined to get rid of the opponent, he doesn't care whether it increases by one and a half points or a lot.
, as long as it allows him to see the enemy's strength more clearly.
Of course, because of this suggestion, Lu Fan gained more status in front of Sun Ce's subordinates in Jiangdong. Sun Ce even promised that he would command the troops in the future and participate in the Qingshan Yuehao campaign even though his job was inconvenient.
Handsome in battle.
Well, in fact, the main reason is that Sun Ce used Lu Fan too smoothly and didn't want to let go. He didn't really want to suppress Lu Fan, a confidant he trusted very much. Now that he has a good excuse, he naturally wants to do it.
Open the ascending channel.
As for Yu Ji Laodao, he naturally happily agreed to Sun Ce's proposal. After all, if he could do it, such a thing could definitely enhance his reputation among the people. If it weren't for the troubled times he was living in now, he might still be able to enter the center and be enshrined.
It can be said that changing the celestial phenomena has always been the highest pursuit of Taoists. Anyone who can do this independently is the legendary immortal-level existence - but in fact, human beings are so small compared with heaven and earth.
Changing the heavens and the earth is nothing more than asking for a fish in a tree. Even for an inhuman existence like Su Xiaololi, being able to temporarily halt the celestial phenomena is considered an extremely terrifying force, let alone those ordinary people whose lives are like a fleeting moment.
In fact, if one really relies on one's own power to change the celestial phenomena, then it is not so much changing the celestial phenomena as it is a matter of complying with God's will - such as making the sky that will clear up in a while clear up in advance, or letting the sky that has already been accumulated clear up.
The sky with a lot of water vapor is raining down. These are all following the trend. Both the difficulty and the consumption of oneself have been reduced to the lowest point.
However, human intelligence and creativity are obviously things that all species have to marvel at - when they realized that they could not break through and obtain the shackles that were close to reaching the sky for humans with their own strength, they groped in practice
In addition to ways to gain greater power through unity and cooperation, they have also invented certain mysterious rituals and items to increase the chance of success and the effects that can be achieved after success - various methods are constantly being researched.
And verified through practice.
Although due to the bad nature of human beings, these invented methods are often not widely disseminated and are restricted to a limited scope in order to ensure the interests of individuals or small groups, but in the end they still bring more benefits to mankind.
possible.
For example, in front of the Xuanmen Pass, in order to obtain the battlefield environment for Qinglong to appear, the allied forces of the princes set up altars and joined forces. In the end, they succeeded in causing heavy rain within dozens of miles of the Xuanmen Pass, but sunshine outside the range.
It was bright, and then the Qinglong appeared, turning Xuanmen Pass, the most important pass among the eight passes in Luoyang, into a pile of rubble and ruins.
For another example, during the Bingzhou Army's siege of Chang'an, Su Xiaoluoli also used complex formations to change the weather into conditions suitable for Sister Xuanwu's appearance, thus allowing the Xiliang Army to once again taste the feeling of death.
Compared with the one closed by the revolving door
In the first battle, they still had white tigers to help ensure that they could barely fight on the same level as the enemy. In the battle of Chang'an, there were no civilian troops capable of summoning white tigers. They could only tremble under the devastating attack (
no fog).
It can be seen that if you want to change the situation, even if your personal power is strong enough, you still need many auxiliary means to achieve it. If you want to accomplish everything with personal heroism alone, even a non-human being like Su Xiaololi,
Afterwards, he also fell into weakness for a long time... Of course, this may also be a rare time for him to act coquettishly, but it is not certain.
Anyway, holding the sweet-smelling and soft Su Xiaololi in his arms at that time, Li Shushi said that even on the battlefield, he was very happy.
Ahem. No more gossip.
The reason why I say so much is because although Sun Ce followed Lu Fan's suggestion, he did not let go of Yu Ji at all. He agreed to let Yu Ji pray for rain, but he did not arrange any manpower to help.
.Even Yu Ji's disciples and grandchildren prevented them from providing help to Yu Ji because of "worry about spies sneaking in".
In other words, Yu Ji needs to do what Su Xiaoluoli did outside Chang'an City, and use some means to complete the process of praying for rain alone. In order to test the limits of Yu Ji's old way, Sun Ce naturally wants to
Many restrictions.
It's a pity that even so, Yu Ji still looks so calm and calm. It seems that all the requests made by Sun Ce do not cause any trouble to him. Difficulties that are huge in the eyes of others have become a breeze for him.
Face, easily solved.
Although this attitude made Sun Ce more afraid of him, the militant also felt a sense of excitement seeping from his bone marrow. Perhaps only by sending such a capable stranger to the underworld
, the feeling of watching him wailing in despair can truly make the tiger feel satisfied... No, this kind of toying with the defeated opponent should probably be called a jackal.
Shaking his head to expel this sudden and inexplicable feeling from his mind, Sun Ce prepared to watch the show with great interest.
Although there was only one person, Yu Ji was finally able to command some soldiers to help him. This was not because Sun Ce was really so "compassionate", but just because the two Mrs. Wu took care of him, and it was indeed impossible for him to do too much.
Too much.
Well, at least Sun Ce would not tie Yu Ji to a pillar, then pile firewood under him, and then pour several barrels of rapeseed oil on him. Just like Bruno in the Campo de' Fiori - unfortunately the latter is pursuing
He died of the truth, and the cause of death of the former would probably be written with words such as "failed to dance to the great god" or "had a nervous breakdown in the evil way".
Anyway, it was just a simple-looking altar built. The so-called "magic weapons" were also very ordinary things. The three animals used as "sacrifice", namely deer, deer, and muntjac, were probably
The most valuable thing, but perhaps from here we can also see what Yu Ji Laodao and his disciples and grandchildren can eat on weekdays.
Although those sacrifices are used to worship the gods and ancestors, they still have to enter the stomachs of living people in the end. In this regard, Chinese people always appear to be very frugal and practical, and even because of the processing of meat after sacrifices, it can also lead to
There were many grievances and hatreds.
Holding a quinoa staff in his hand, stepping squarely on his feet, and muttering something in his mouth - Although the altar where Yu Ji Laodao was standing was very simple, it was completely incomparable to the three-story high platform built by the coalition of princes, and there were no guards around to protect him.
The soldiers who helped him had already left here. Only two soldiers with ruthless faces and swords in their hands were left. You could tell at a glance what they wanted to do.
However, none of these external objects seemed to be able to affect Yu Ji Laodao. He still walked with mysterious steps, stepped on the seven stars, turned around, and had three flowers on his head. He was just like the kind of man who had achieved enlightenment that people expected.
Most people felt like they were worshiping. Even Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, two good friends, gradually just looked there in confusion.
I have to say that Taoist Yu Ji gives people a very special feeling at this time. Perhaps ordinary people can only feel that this old Taoist priest is a god and must have extraordinary abilities. However, in the eyes of people like Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, these
Although they can't explain the mysterious and mysterious things, they seem to have a lot of even more unexplainable inspirations for themselves.
Whether it is martial arts, art of war, or the way of being a person or the way of government, those smart people will always find what they need in it, and then look more greedily at the person who is doing it on the altar, hoping to gain more.
.
Even Sun Ce, who originally fought and killed Ji, fell into this mysterious state at this time. Even because his combat power is considered top-notch in this era, maybe he can get more things.
In such an atmosphere, a group of black air suddenly rose from the sky above the altar, then rushed into the higher nine heavens, and gradually merged into the original azure sky.
Soon, patches of dark clouds appeared in the originally azure sky. It was almost noon, but the people in Wu County could not feel the scorching heat of the sun that was supposed to appear at this time. They only felt the gloomy wind.
The sudden strong wind seemed to be able to blow through their clothes and armor, making them feel like they were back in the cold winter.
The dark clouds are rolling and brewing, and people with good eyesight can still seem to see little rolling lights that are constantly faintly reflected in the dark clouds.
It seems that God is ready to strike, and the next moment, there will be rain.
But after waiting for a long time, all I could see was dark clouds rolling in, thunder and lightning brewing in them, but not even a tiny drop of rain falling.
Could it be that Yu Ji has finally run out of skills and is unable to continue?
Just when everyone couldn't help but doubt Ji, just when Sun Ce showed a smile of victory on his face, just when Yu Ji's disciples couldn't help but secretly worry about their ancestor...
Only Yu Ji, only Yu Ji, the old Taoist, was not affected at all. He was still so calm, still so calm, as if everything in front of him was just a prelude to what was coming, and the downpour would eventually appear when it was supposed to appear.
Probably infected by this emotion, most of the ignorant people calmed down again, completely unaware of how disrespectful their thoughts were to their deepest beliefs - but this is probably natural.
After all, with the thousand-year history of civilization in the Central Plains, even if it almost became the state religion of the Han Dynasty,
The most important Taiyi religion gradually lost its influence. For the Han Dynasty, which was based on pragmatism, instead of believing in those illusory things, it would be more meaningful to do something practical and effective, or to worship those things.
There are a few holy beasts who are very influential but usually sleep hard.
Just as everyone was eagerly anticipating it, suddenly! Yu Ji's eyes widened, his quinoa staff pointed at the sky, and he opened his mouth to let out a silent roar. Even his long beard spread in the wind, looking like a Shura, as if he was about to
Something important will happen next moment.
It's getting darker.
Note: According to the records of "Three Kingdoms", the person who was good at numerology and predicted Guan Yu's movements in the Battle of Jingzhou should be called Wu Fan Zi Wenze. "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" attributes this credit to Lu Fan, probably like Zhao Yun.
He has merged with Chen Dao, right? But judging from the process of Lu Fan following Sun Ce, it may not be an exaggeration to say that he has the ability of fortune-telling? (To be continued...)
