After a long conversation all night, Chen Wu finally understood Han Xuan's intentions. So the two of them came together towards Jingling City to meet their old rival Liu Du.

Han Xuan asked Lu Meng to pass a message and asked Liu Du to go to a small pavilion on the Xijiang River in Jingling City for talks. In order to show his sincerity, Han Xuan only took Chen Wu as an escort, and asked Liu Du not to bring the army here.

Liu Du received Han Xuan's letter and decided to go to the meeting. Jia Xu, Huang Quan and others tried their best to dissuade them: "Your Majesty, if Han Xuan has an ambush this time, what should I do?" ”

"I know that Han Xuan is a person, and I will only take Zhao Yun alone this time." Liu Du waved his hand and said.

So, at noon the next day. Han Xuan and Chen Wu arrived at Jiang Xin Pavilion first, prepared wine and food and waited for Liu Du to come.

"How is King Chu doing lately?" A small boat on the river came slowly, and Liu Du said with a smile.

Han Xuan and Chen Wu got up to greet him, and Han Xuan replied: "Emperor Meng and Han are worried, although this king is not as good as Zilie and Zilong generals, and he can also command ten thousand troops to attack the world!" ”

"Hahaha~ The spirit of the King of Chu has not diminished back then!" Zhao Yun helped Liu Du get off the boat, and Liu Du said as he walked to the pavilion.

"Please take a seat!" Han Xuan entertained Liu Du and Zhao Yun to the table.

"Slow! The last general can stay outside the pavilion! Zhao Yun looked at the wine and food on the table, and then at Chen Wu, obviously not very relieved about Han Xuan.

"Don't worry! None of the food or drinks are poisonous! I, the soldiers of the Chu State, will not make this kind of indiscriminate means. Chen Wu snorted coldly and stood outside the pavilion with Zhao Yun to guard.

"You and I are old friends and old rivals, if you have anything to say, let's get straight to the point!" Liu Du didn't move his chopsticks, stared at Han Xuan's eyes and said.

Han Xuan smiled, nodded and said, "Yes! The years are urging people to grow old, and now you and I are almost half a hundred years old. What's the benefit of continuing to fight like this? The people of the world are suffering from war, and no one does not want to unify the world. Cao Wei is powerful, if you want to unify, you must Chu and Shu work together to destroy it! ”

"Han Xuan, your words are exactly the same as those of Kong Ming and Pang Tong." Liu Du still didn't care too much about Han Xuan's words.

"I don't believe that the grievances between the soldiers of the two armies can be resolved so easily! Pan Feng, Xing Daorong, Yan Yan...... How many soldiers fell on the battlefield of Jingzhou! Oh, by the way, your love will also kill Lu Xun under the city of Gangneung! Liu Du's eyes became more and more fierce when he looked at Han Xuan, and the trace of sadness that flashed in Han Xuan's eyes did not escape his gaze.

Han Xuan swallowed his throat and said angrily: "Their sacrifice is worth it, they use the lesson of blood and tears to tell us a truth: if you are together, you will live, and if you are divided, you will die!" ”

"I don't believe you don't care! For the sake of your good brother Chen Wu, you can give up your dignity as a lord and come here alone to negotiate peace with me...... I'm not as lucky as you, I came to this world, there are only two good brothers, Xing Daorong and Pan Feng, but they ......" Liu Du choked up a little.

"At this point, all we can do is stop this pointless fight! It's not a game, it's a real world! Han Xuan struggled to restrain his emotions.

Liu Du calmed down, looked at Han Xuan and said, "I have developed black powder, or in less than a year, it will be able to be installed in the army on a large scale." You know what that means, right? ”

Han Xuan smiled miserably, walked to the pavilion pillar, and brought the box placed there to the table. Han Xuan opened the box and showed it to Liu Du, who looked at the contents of the box with incredible eyes.

"You think you're the only one with a firearm? I just don't want the war to take more lives. Han Xuan touched the "gun" in the box and said.

"This ...... It's an arquebus! Liu Du exclaimed.

"Do you want the era of cold weapons to end? If you insist on burning the flames of war to Koto. Han Xuan's words were both a deterrent and a compromise.

As a traverser, everyone knows the power of gunpowder. There are many skilled craftsmen under Han Xuan, such as Pu Yuan, Huang Daozhou, Liu Ye, etc., and the weapons of the Chu army have been constantly innovating. Han Xuan first developed gunpowder when he was in alchemy, and an explosion in the alchemy furnace almost killed him.

Later, under Zuo Ci's guidance, Han Xuanlian's elixir was no longer doped with any metals, and only medicinal materials were used to refine the elixir, which reduced the accident. Han Xuan realized the destructive nature of gunpowder, and then Chen Wu reminded him that gunpowder was a double-edged sword.

From signal flares used for communication, to detonators for rock-breaking, to tubular firearms that can breathe fire, the prototype of this modern rifle was finally developed through the continuous improvement of craftsmen, the arquebus. It's just that Han Xuan, because of various concerns, has not yet mass-produced it and installed it in the army.

"What are your plans?" Liu Du's tone showed a slight change in his attitude, although he also had hole cards.

"End the situation of division as soon as possible, realize the unification of the world, and reduce internal friction. Of course, this can't be achieved by the Sima family! It turns out that the 'Rebellion of the Eight Kings' in history, do you know? Han Xuan told Liu Du about the original history.

In the original history, the Three Kingdoms wars and various natural disasters in the late Han Dynasty led to a sharp decline in the population of China. After the establishment of the Western Jin Dynasty, the political darkness of the Sima family and the rebellion of the Eight Kings once again plunged the land of China into internal friction.

In the later period, the national strength of the Western Jin Dynasty was empty and the people's livelihood withered. The Xiongnu, Xianbei, Xia, Qiang, Di and other Hu tribes took advantage of the situation and established five regimes successively, known as the "Five Hu Chaohua" in history. The Hu people wantonly slaughtered the Han people, and even the Qian, Di and other ethnic groups used Han women as military food. The Han population has plummeted from less than 20 million to several million, and the Han population is on the verge of extinction.

After listening to Han Xuan's introduction to this dark history, Liu Du also hated those alien races. In particular, the Qiang people not only slaughtered the Han people, but also ate people, and the Han people were called "two-legged sheep"!

"Shame! Disgrace! I must not let this history happen again! Liu Du clenched his fists and swore secretly.

"You can't forget the Heavenly Tribulation Gate, right? The identity of our traversers has long been known to them! They have a so-called 'Son of Destiny', I'm not sure who he is, but based on this, that person must be from the Sima family! Han Xuan looked at the northern sky, he really wanted to meet that eagle-eyed wolf Sima Yi soon.

Liu Du said disdainfully: "Hmph! Child of Destiny? The destiny is in me, how can it be the turn to get others? ”

"Do you know Wang Mang?" Han Xuan raised his wine glass and saluted Liu Dudao.

Liu Du nodded: "Is it the emperor who was suspected of being a traverser in later generations?" ”

"Whether it is his change of Yuan envoy in the first year of A.D., or the vernier caliper close to the current standard, as well as his policies that are far beyond ancient times, it shows that he is a traverser like us." After Han Xuan came to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he learned a lot about Wang Mang and became even more convinced of this view.

Han Xuan then analyzed: "He has already sat in the position of the supreme ruler at that time, but why did he fail? In addition to his policies that did not conform to the productive forces, which provoked the popular uprising, there was also the Kunyang War! Wang Mang sent 420,000 regular troops to encircle and suppress Liu Xiu's 20,000 people, and suddenly a meteorite fell from the sky that night, smashed into Wang Mang's army, and then a big thunderstorm struck. Liu Xiu's 20,000 defeated Wang Mang with 420,000, and then this battle made Liu Xiu. ”。

Liu Du was amazed and asked, "Could it be that this Son of Destiny supported by the Heavenly Tribulation Gate is also like Liu Xiu, and has the power to turn things around?" ”

"You've seen their methods, I'm afraid it's true. Even I suspect that Wang Mang failed back then, and Liu Xiu became the emperor, and there was the power of the Heavenly Tribulation Gate behind them! Han Xuan looked at Liu Du with a solemn expression.
