When Chu Ge woke up again, he was already lying on the bed.
"Mr. Zheng, you're awake!"
The maid beside the bed said in surprise and brought warm water to Chu Ge.
Chu Ge checked his status and realized that the situation was worse than he expected.
Because he found that he seemed unable to speak!
Moreover, my body's movements are somewhat inconvenient, but I can barely stand up, walk around, and even write crookedly. But I am completely powerless to do other things besides these.
"Ah...ah..."
Chu Ge opened his mouth, but found that he could only make such meaningless sounds.
The maid couldn't help being shocked: "Mr. Zheng, what's wrong with you? Hurry, go and call the doctor!"
Not long after, the doctor arrived.
The result of the diagnosis was wind paralysis caused by rapid fire attacking the heart.
"Zheng Xianggong, all the generals can understand your concern for the country and the people. But... the general trend of the world cannot be resisted sometimes with human power..."
A soft voice sounded in Chu Ge's ears. Although the tone was quite sincere, the words he spoke made people even more angry.
Perhaps, this kind of "knowledge of current affairs" is what makes people like Zheng Tian the most irritating.
The speaker was a eunuch, well-dressed and looked to be of high status.
This is Fengxiang's supervisor, Peng Jingrou.
The supervisory armies of the Liang Dynasty were mainly censors in the early period, and eunuchs in the later period.
Since there were many vassal towns at this time, each vassal town would inevitably have different intentions. In order to restrain the vassal towns, the emperor naturally had to choose his most trusted candidates to serve as supervisors.
At this time, the status of the censor in the emperor's mind was far inferior to that of the eunuchs.
Therefore, the eunuchs of the Liang Dynasty were much more powerful than the eunuchs of the Sheng Dynasty. Although the eunuchs of the Sheng Dynasty also supervised the army, the eunuchs of the Sheng Dynasty only supervised the army and did not have the power to command or mobilize troops.
Many eunuchs and supervisors of the Liang Dynasty had the power to command and mobilize troops.
Zheng Tian, played by Chu Ge, is the military governor of Fengxiang at this time. He is naturally the supreme leader here, but under him, the eunuch Peng Jingrou also has extremely high power.
It can even be said that at this time, Zheng Wei, played by Chu Ge, was bedridden due to wind paralysis, and many of Fengxiang's military affairs were left to the supervisor Peng Jingrou.
"Anyway, Mr. Zheng, please rest in peace and recuperate.
"The rebels are so powerful that it is difficult to attack them in a hurry. Since His Majesty has left the capital and is patrolling Xingyuan, there is no danger at this time. If Mr. Zheng wants to attack Huang Xianzhi, there is no need to rush."
After comforting Chu Ge for a few more words, Peng Jingrou turned and left.
It's just that Chu Ge is a little confused and can't help it.
Because he knows what will happen next.
Huang Xianzhi's envoy is about to arrive, and the eunuch Peng Jingrou will draw up a form of thanks in his name and have the generals sign it. In layman's terms, it means surrendering to Huang Xianzhi.
This is what actually happened in history.
At this time, Zheng Tian was completely powerless. Due to wind paralysis, he could not speak. Although he could barely write a few words, it was difficult to hold the pen firmly.
Under such circumstances, why should he continue to persuade these generals?
Even the talents he had bothered with before were of little significance.
Chu Ge lay on the bed and sighed silently.
It seems that all we can do is wait.
According to historical records, after Zheng Tian became bedridden due to wind paralysis, the eunuch Peng Jingrou drafted a thank you note in his name and asked the generals to sign the thank you note to express their willingness to submit to Huang Xianzhi.
However, when the eunuch Peng Jingrou entertained the envoys at the banquet, all the generals burst into tears.
The envoy was very surprised and asked why.
One of the aides, Sun Chu, said: "Xianggong Zheng can't come because of wind paralysis, so we are sad."
But in fact, the generals were sad for the death of the Liang Dynasty.
It was precisely because of this that Zheng Tian realized that people's hearts were not completely lost, and the Liang Dynasty could still be saved.
So, after a few days, he recovered as before, he summoned the generals, declared his great righteousness, and finally got the support of the generals.
After that, he pricked his arm with other generals, made blood alliances, repaired the city, rectified the weapons, and killed Huang Xianzhi to establish his authority. Then Huang Xianzhi was furious and sent troops to attack Fengxiang, but was defeated by Zheng Ti.
Huangxianzhi flourished and declined from then on, and finally perished.
As a result, Zheng Tian extended Liang Chao's life for more than twenty years.
After thinking about this, Chu Ge decided to lie on the bed and rest peacefully.
It seems that convincing the generals will be the real highlight in a few days.
…
While Chu Ge was ill in bed, his vision once again entered God's perspective and saw the scene of Huang Xianzhi's envoy coming to Fengxiang.
Sitting at the guest of honor seat was none other than Huang Xianzhi’s envoy, Wang Hui.
Peng Jingrou, the eunuch who oversees the army, waited for the generals to take their seats, and then introduced: "Generals, this is Wang Hui, the envoy sent by King Huang. I am hosting a banquet with you today in the hope that we can discuss the future of Fengxiang Army with you.
.”
Wang Hui stood up proudly: "Generals, King Huang asked me to greet you. As long as you are willing to submit, not only can you preserve your wealth, but King Huang will also reward you based on your merits!"
"Now Huang Wang has millions of troops, and he has no opponent across the country. Now he has occupied Chang'an without any blood, causing the Emperor of the Liang Dynasty to panic and run away like a bereaved dog. This is the general trend of the world and cannot be defied.
"If all the generals take advantage of the situation and surrender, they will be rich and wealthy; if they overestimate their own capabilities and become the enemy of the Yellow King, I am afraid that when the Yellow King's soldiers point their fingers, their families will be destroyed, and they will die without a place to bury them!"
"Where to go, please think carefully."
Peng Jingrou, the eunuch who oversees the army, also stood up and said: "Everyone, Mr. Zheng cannot come because of wind paralysis, but he has drafted a form of thanks and is willing to surrender to King Huang.
"All you need to do is sign this thank you form, and everything will be done."
After saying that, he looked around at the many generals.
The expressions of these generals varied, some were looking forward to it, some were in pain, but most were indifferent.
Obviously, everyone knows that this situation cannot be changed by one or two people.
Peng Jingrou did not intend to give these generals too much time to think, and directly handed the thank you form to one of his confidants.
"Sign it!"
The confidant general immediately took the thank you form, signed his name on it, and then handed it to another general.
In this way, these generals finally signed their names on the thank you list.
Supervisor Peng Jingrou took back the thank you form and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, now that the big thing has been accomplished, let the banquet begin!"
After that, he handed the form of thanks to Wang Hui, Huang Xianzhi's envoy, and the banquet was a happy scene.
…
The time when Chu Ge was ill in bed passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, a few days passed.
Huang Xianzhi's envoy Wang Hui returned to Chang'an to report the good news to Huang Xianzhi shortly after receiving the thank you letter, and he would come again after a while.
But when he comes back, he will be killed by Zheng Tian to establish his authority.
In Jiedushi's mansion, Chu Ge paced back and forth a little anxiously.
If according to historical records, it should be that he summoned the generals at this time, pricked their arms, and made an alliance through blood, agreeing on a day to jointly attack Huang Xianzhi.
But Chu Ge was unsure.
Because he discovered that some details did not happen as recorded in historical data!
Chu Ge roughly remembers that the historical records are like this.
Peng Jingrou, the supervisor, and General Zuo Xu made a declaration, and signed the paper to thank Xianzhi. During the banquet between the supervisor and the envoy, General Zuo and his subordinates all cried. The envoy was surprised, and Sun Chu, the envoy, said: "I can't come because I'm wind-stricken."
, so the ears are sad.”
However, while Chu Ge was ill, he also saw the whole process of the banquet from God's perspective.
The former part is consistent, but the latter part is inconsistent.
The generals did not cry at the banquet!
Therefore, "the messenger blamed him" and what happened after that naturally did not happen.
The most terrible thing about this is that "all the generals cried" means that they were sad for the destruction of the Liang Dynasty. Therefore, Zheng Tian believed that the generals had not abandoned the Liang Dynasty, and then he made a bloody alliance with the generals to attack Huang Xianzhi.
But now, the generals are not crying at all, this...
Chu Ge wasn't sure if he could still convince them, but at this point, he could only give it a try.
"Everyone, I already know what happened at the banquet.
"Peng Jingrou, the supervisor, drafted a thank you note in my name, which is a serious crime of treason! Generals, people's hearts have not yet abandoned the Liang Dynasty. It is time for us to repair the city, rectify the ordnance, and fight to the death with Huang Xianzhi!"
Chu Ge once again made a heartfelt speech. With the blessing of the three talents, his words were touching.
Moreover, since Zheng Tian's body had just recovered from wind paralysis, his voice was hoarse and his body was not particularly agile. Such a speech added an extra layer of appeal.
Some of the generals even had their eyes turned red by Chu Ge's remarks.
However, when Chu Ge finished his speech and hoped to form a bloody alliance with the generals to jointly defeat Huang Xianzhi, these generals looked at each other, and no one really stood up to firmly support.
"Mr. Zheng, we can understand your mood, but..."
The faces of the generals were still full of hesitation.
Obviously, Chu Ge's impassioned speech really moved them, but only a little.
It's not enough for them to make up their mind to make an alliance based on blood.
Chu Ge refused to give up, but tried again and again, but to no avail.
A little worse!
Yes, because these generals did not "cry one after another" at the banquet, they were not actually inspired and moved, and their nostalgia for the Liang Dynasty was not stimulated...
And in this case, even if Chu Ge got three inspiring talents, he still couldn't be inspired.
With a certain amount of luck, Chu Ge continued running and observed what happened next.
Fengxiang finally surrendered to Huang Xianzhi and was not encouraged by Zheng Tian to break with Huang Xianzhi.
Later, Peng Jingrou, the eunuch and supervisor of the army, gradually realized this. He was originally very afraid of Zheng Tian. In the original history, after Zheng Tian regained the support of the generals, he lost subsequent records in historical materials.
This eunuch may have been eliminated by Zheng Tian, or he may have been marginalized... In short, he did not cause any more trouble.
But in this slice of history, things are different.
Peng Jingrou discovered that Zheng Tian could not encourage these generals to resist Huang Xianzhi, so he gradually became bolder.
He reported Zheng Tian to Huang Xianzhi, so Huang Xianzhi sent troops to encircle and suppress him.
Although Chu Ge in a hurry encouraged a small number of generals to resist desperately, due to lack of strength, they ultimately failed to defeat Huang Xianzhi.
This attempt naturally failed.
…
Back to the starting point.
Chu Ge was not in a hurry to start the trial again, but seriously thought about the key to passing the level.
“Judging from the current situation, we don’t see too much history being tampered with.
"If anything, it means that the mentality of the generals has been tampered with to a certain extent.
"Under normal circumstances, these generals should still yearn for the Liang Dynasty in their hearts. They were unwilling to surrender to Huang Xianzhi, so they cried one after another at the banquet and after signing the thank you form.
"Then, Zheng Tianxiao rekindled the fighting spirit in the hearts of these generals with his great righteousness and an impassioned speech.
"In other words, the most critical link is missing now.
"I have to find a way to wake up these generals.
"But...how to wake it up?
"I have obviously acquired the most inspiring and contagious talent in theory, and there shouldn't be any problems with the content of my speech...
"Could it be that I missed some other details?"
Chu Ge carefully reviewed his last attempt and found that he had done the best he could.
This is bad news, but also good news.
The bad news is that since it is not a matter of details, he cannot pass by constantly improving the details and fine-tuning the plan.
The good news is that he can simply and quickly find new solutions.
Inspiring these generals and rekindling their faith in the Liang Dynasty is the most important thing.
However, if Chu Ge, the sequencer, cannot accomplish this with the blessing of three talents and skills, then what else can be accomplished?
…
At the same time, Zhang Chengfan, played by Zhao Haiping, had escaped from Tongguan with dozens of remaining soldiers.
But he had no clue as to where to go next.
"The game is not over...
"It's strange, I always feel like something is wrong.
"It stands to reason that the task of guarding Tongguan has ended here, but the game does not give a clear ending. Whether it is a clearance or a failure, there should always be a result for me...
“And now it’s clearly in an unfinished state?
"Moreover, I suddenly realized that the character Zhang Chengfan did not give me a selection page for talent cards. Does this mean that this is not a necessary step..."
Zhao Haiping obviously took a completely different route from Chu Ge.
Chu Ge realized immediately that the character Zhang Chengfan did not have a skill card, so this might not be a necessary step and could be skipped.
So the Zhang Chengfan he played died and jumped directly to Zheng Tian.
Zhao Haiping, on the other hand, did not realize this at all. It was not until he foolishly went to guard Tongguan for three days, and it was not until he withdrew from Tongguan that he realized that something was wrong with the situation.
The moment he realized this, the talent skill card selection interface appeared in his field of vision.
