While everyone was still surprised that the Yuan family had another low-key young genius, Master Mengmei had already climbed onto the altar again and was playing with the magical weapons on it that would definitely be stolen if someone was not assigned to guard them.
Seeing the layman Mengmei who was already in the state, although both Cao Cao and Yuan Shu were very interested in this young man who had never heard of him before, but who became famous as soon as he appeared and was also closely related to the mysterious Sima Decao, but now
Obviously this is not the time to get to the bottom of things. They have their own intelligence network. Although it cannot be said that it will be easy to investigate, it will definitely not be without clues. When the exact information comes, they will make their own judgment based on the information.
It's not too late either.
Of course, the only thing that is certain is that the name Yuan Fang will definitely occupy a not out of the ordinary place in their minds.
This time, Master Mengmei obviously only inspected the completion of the altar and did not do anything in a hurry. Perhaps for an immortal like him who is still learning or in reserve, he cannot do it as freely as his teacher.
Therefore, if you don’t create something very elegant or imposing, it will inevitably weaken your brand effect.
So, after confirming what he wanted to confirm, layman Mengmei ordered the soldiers of Yuan Shao's army who were left behind to surround the place. He stayed in the tent specially built by Yuan Shao for him and fasted for five days to show respect for heaven.
land.
Of course, another very important reason why it was so grand was because the war at this time was too plain, and neither side had any intention to fight - the princes on the coalition side had an obvious tendency to protect themselves, and they did not
They were willing to waste their precious generals and soldiers on Wang Yue and Xiliang's strong army. The only few who were willing to fight were either stopped by well-meaning people or they are now weak in strength. They watched Dong Zhuo show off his power but were powerless (Sun Jian continued
Shot...).
As for Dong Zhuo, anyway, he has the food, grass and wealth of Luoyang City behind him. It won’t be a problem to play with the coalition forces for another year or two. The most important thing is his right hook plan-the troops of Zhang Ji and Ma Teng are behind him.
It is estimated that they will soon reach Wuguan. By then, the backbone of the coalition forces such as Yuan Shao and Sun Jian, who will be attacked from the rear, will inevitably leave here.
Spreading out the coalition forces will make it easier to create opportunities to annihilate them. Dong Zhuo planned this, so he was naturally not in a hurry. He even held drills and even rugby games near Xuanmen Pass every day. The noisy sound
Even ordinary soldiers in the coalition camp heard it, but they dared not attack for fear of being deceived. Therefore, it became inevitable that the morale of the coalition forces would drop again.
Well, fortunately no one in the coalition forces continued to act impulsively. You must know that Li Ru still regrets the outcome of "hundreds of thousands of people shrinking their heads, and would rather not have a man". The proud soldiers of the Xiliang Army also
It's too boring to say that there is no credit to be gained.
Therefore, the two sides are acting too harmoniously now. Except for the grain and grass officials on both sides, they are probably very harmonious.
However, as a certain philosopher said: The days of peace are always so short, and war is the main theme of the world.
The sun is shining brightly today, the breeze is gentle today, it is cloudless today, it is a good day.
Under the attention of all the princes, layman Mengmei climbed onto the altar that he was already familiar with and began the formal spell-casting activity.
As Layman Mengmei took out the golden magical artifacts one by one and placed them in unique positions, the 360 civil servants standing on the altar holding banners also slowly jumped up.
A slow but rhythmic dance.
"What are you doing? It's just asking for rain. Do you need to go to such trouble?"
Seeing this grand ceremony, which was like a national sacrifice, even Yuan Shao felt speechless, accompanied by an uneasy mood. Although his previous actions were outrageous enough, in Yuan Shao's opinion, they were all for the sake of
Dayesuo
It is necessary, but now this kind of rain-seeking, which is just to achieve the attack conditions, has turned out to be such a pomp. This kind of excess is definitely beyond Yuan Shao's prior estimation, so it is not strange that he has no idea.
.
"Father, don't worry. Although the scene created by Mengmei Mengmei is a bit grand, the pomp and effect are equal. Although they are both praying for rain, light rain and heavy rain are different, and heavy rain and heavy rain are different, and
Heavy rain and electricity
The violent storms with thunder and lightning are different, and the duration is also very different. If there is a super heavy rain for three days and three nights, I am afraid we will not need to proceed to the next part, and the city wall of Xuanmenguan will be destroyed.
Let it be broken and broken.”
"In that case, wouldn't the coalition forces have to be prepared to move their camps to higher ground? Besides, since this place is so close to the Yellow River, aren't you afraid that too much rain will cause the Yellow River to burst its banks?! Yanzhou and Yuzhou, especially us
All the military rations will be wasted."
"As long as my father can capture the four states of Youji, Qingxu and make good friends with the Wuwan, Xianbei and other tribes, the world will have no worries. Yanzhou and Yuzhou, which have lost a large number of people, have become the buffer zone in front of my father. The princes there cannot survive and it is difficult for them to survive.
Someone crosses over there and interferes with my father's great cause of unification. With my father's prestige and ability, it will not last more than fifteen years. You can even proclaim yourself emperor by then."
Although Yuan Fang's voice was very soft, Yuan Shao still felt the deep chill in it - he gave up all the core areas of the Central Plains, which were geographically important but had no dangerous areas to defend, and concentrated on managing his own northern plains so as to accumulate and conquer the world.
strength. But if giving up the population and land in the Central Plains region is likely to bring about an opponent that may not be the biggest threat but may be very troublesome, then instead of worrying like this, it is better to take the opportunity to let it be abandoned.
As for this coalition? It seems that his son is not optimistic about it either.
Although Yuan Shao was not unprepared for this, as Yuan Fang was so decisive, Yuan Shao felt that he could not do it. Not to mention that Yuan Shao was very worried that if things really developed like this, his reputation would be affected.
And what about the impact? You need to know that the reputation he has accumulated plays a very important role in his current achievements.
Does a guy who only cares about practical benefits and doesn't care about his reputation still have the right to call himself the successor of a famous family?
At this moment, Yuan Shao looked at his illegitimate son with a more complicated expression. Perhaps he felt that although his son was indeed talented, he had spent too long with that "weirdo" Sima Hui.
He is a little too old, so much so that he lacks the education of the clan identity that corresponds to his identity, so that’s why he thinks like this today.
Famous clan? It’s really an identity that makes people love and hate. Yuan Fang is such a smart person. Although Yuan Shao didn’t say anything, he just saw his slightly frowned brows and expressions when he heard his plan.
With the pride rising between his brows, Yuan Fangfang basically guessed what his nominal father was thinking in his heart at this moment.
However, who makes him his biological father? The only thing is that he is destined to have no right to choose in this matter.
The ceremony is still going on, and unlike Yuan Shao who is looking sad, many people are watching the "performance" in front of them with great interest.
Yes, they just regarded it as a fairly interesting performance. Although there were no cute girls or soft drum music, at least it was a kind of entertainment for one person to perform monkey tricks and for a group of people to dance along.
Well, the roar of the guy on top of the altar seems to have a bit of Qinqiang flavor, and it still sounds a bit interesting at first glance.
So you have to understand these people. As the saying goes, "Three years in the army, a sow competes with Diao Chan." It's no wonder that these self-proclaimed romantic guys have been holding back in the military camp for so long. Now they have hallucinations when they see a slightly different smell of oil.
.
Of course, the coalition forces making such a big noise naturally attracted the attention of Dong Zhuo and others who had closed the revolving door.
"I'm talking about Wenyou, do you think Yuan Shao and the others have nothing to do and actually engage in such a boring act?"
"Yes, I thought that the resourceful people gathered under Yuan Shao could make Ru use his brains, but now it seems that they are just a group of drunkards with empty names. Seeing that they couldn't succeed, they came up with this idea and planned to do it for themselves.
Are you unable to find a scapegoat? Humph~ It’s really ridiculous that a guy like this still wants to get his hands on the national artifact!”
Looking at Li Ru, who looked indifferent on the surface, but from the hands that he clenched so hard that they were shaking slightly, you could tell how uneasy he was inside at the moment. Dong Zhuo smiled slightly. Anyway, the two of them had already expected such an outcome.
no.
"Isn't this good? Although such opponents will make people feel boring, they are easier to eliminate and easier to promote our ideals, right? Flies in Kanto, I will let you fly for a while. I hope you cherish this
It’s a hard-won opportunity. But I think all you can do is to squander the expectations of those who have worked hard for you.”
"Pray to the gods for strength?!" Li Ru suddenly felt as if he had overlooked something important.
Just when he felt something was wrong, he suddenly felt a hint of coolness that should never occur in summer, and then this originally only a hint of coolness gradually expanded.
The wind has risen.
The thick and heavy flag that originally stood on the top of the city with a large area of flags and the flagpole tied to it were blown by the sudden strong wind, and the crackling sound was like a snare drum.
The drumbeat is average.
There was obviously more than one flag on the city head, so suddenly the revolving door closed and a noisy and huge percussion symphony sounded.
The flying sand and rocks flew straight into the sky. Even the Xiliang army, including Dong Zhuo and Li Ru, did not dare to expose their bodies to the open air anymore. It was not because they were afraid of the power of the wind and sand. Although they still felt a little bit when they hit their bodies, what was more important was that
Under such dusty weather, neither the coalition forces nor Dong Zhuo's army had any chance to attack, so naturally they no longer had to suffer outside.
Of course, Dong Zhuo was also sighing at this moment: Sure enough, he had fallen a lot, otherwise in the same stormy weather, as long as those Qiang people dared to come over to provoke, Dong Zhuo would have dared to lead troops to fight back, and sometimes Dong Zhuo would even take the initiative
Lead the troops to attack.
Unfortunately, now he would only choose to hide in a safe and comfortable room and enjoy the service of the plundered village girl.
Naturally, he couldn't see the spectacular sight of the sky being covered with dark clouds and the raindrops beginning to grow from sparse to dense.
PS: So compared with cavalry and conjurers, the other three civil service professions are simply weak!
