Chapter 60, the final glory of the Divine Stick of the Year

After Cao Cao was defeated in Chibi, he finally figured out the prophecy that Zhang Lu had made more than ten years ago. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info On that day, Zhang Lu asked for cinnabar and wrote the words "unhelped" on the wooden slab, and Cao Cao said to Hao Yuanjie: "Those who have red letters are also red cliffs; And the hexagram that has not been helped, the upper and lower barriers, is it not the image of fire on the river?"

Hao Yuanjie suddenly realized, and couldn't help but stroke his palm: "I'm not as far away as the earl." ”

Since Cao Cao figured it out, he was a little unhappy, and said that since Zhang Lu was able to anticipate my defeat in Chibi more than ten years ago, why did he not say anything about it, but wanted to play dumb riddles? If I had understood his true meaning and had taken precautions in advance, I would not have suffered such a big defeat.

Hao Yuanjie helped Zhang Lu explain to Cao Cao: "The way of divination, but I don't know why it is, that is, Count Zhang can write a book, and he may not know the defeat of Chibi...... "The entanglement of cause and effect in the world is not so easy to calculate clearly, for example, I calculate that you will have a disaster tomorrow, but what kind of disaster can be avoided or not, it may not be calculated." I guess that although Zhang Lu wrote this prophecy, he may not really understand the exact meaning before it happens, so he can't warn you at all.

Hao Yuanjie is inferred according to common sense, of course, in fact, Zhang Lu knew that Cao Cao would have the defeat of Chibi, and even the general passage, who asked for the wind, and who set the fire, are also clear - as long as there are too many differences in the fictional composition of the romance - it is not what Hao Yuanjie can expect.

Lou Gui and Lou Zibo happened to be by Cao Cao's side, and the two walked side by side, listening to this conversation, he also took the opportunity to say: "Meng De thought that Zhou Yu was defeated, and those who defeated our army were really ...... and not human" In fact, we were not defeated by the Sun and Liu coalition forces, but by our own proud mentality. Even if Zhang Lu had made this defeat clear to you in advance, would you have been able to avoid defeat? Before garrisoning Jiangbei, did you know where Chibi was? Before the fire started, did you know that the southeast wind would blow on the river in the winter? Moreover, in the past few years, Yuan Shao and Pingliaodong have been defeated in a row, and then the southern expedition, Liu Biao was so frightened that he swallowed his breath, Liu Cong surrendered, and Liu Bei's troops defeated Changsaka, who in our army did not think that it would be easy to pacify Jiangnan-even if Zhang Lu predicted today's defeat more than ten years ago, you would definitely leave it behind and would not remember it at all.

When Cao Cao heard this, his face couldn't help but blush: "What Uncle Zi said is true, the cause of defeat lies in me, and I can't blame others." ”

Hao Yuanjie glanced at Lou Gui, and said this kind of thing in his heart, you are an old friend with Cao Cao, and you dare to confront him face to face, and others are afraid that they don't have the courage to do so...... But you are so outspoken and don't save face for Cao Cao, now that Cao Cao is in power, his strength is getting narrower day by day, I don't know how long he can tolerate you......

After Cao Cao's self-reflection, he sighed again: "I don't know if Count Zhang is safe, may I see him again?"

Hao Yuanjie hurriedly said that I miss the earl very much, and I got a hexagram the day before yesterday, and it seems that it will not be long before we meet. Cao Cao was overjoyed and hurriedly took care of it: "If the earl comes to visit the Yuan Festival, he can quickly attract a meeting!"

Before the words fell, I suddenly heard a long howl in the distance: "Cao Gong is okay when he comes?"

Cao Cao's legs clamped the horse's belly, straightened his waist slightly, his buttocks were up, he stretched his neck and looked forward, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "I said the earl, the earl will come!"

Waiting on the side of the road in front of him was Earl Zhang Luzhang, and he complained in his heart: "Shouldn't it be 'say Cao Cao, Cao Cao'......?

Cao Cao jumped off the horse to return the salute, and then held Zhang Lu's hand tightly: "I haven't seen you for more than ten years, Mr. is the same as in the past, and I am old." Lou Gui hurriedly stopped the team, saying that the prime minister had to meet the deceased, and it was estimated that he would have to talk earnestly, so it was better for the big guy to rest for the time being.

It happened that this day was not close, and seeing that the surrounding environment was acceptable, Cao Cao ordered him to set up camp, and when the tent was set up, he pulled Zhang Lu into the tent to talk. Of course, before that, the two, including Lou Gui and Hao Yuanjie, had been greeting each other for a long time, saying goodbye to each other - of course Zhang Lu would not mention the "coup" in the sky, but only said that he had been practicing in the mountains.

When the account was settled, Cao Cao asked Zhang Lu, saying that your prophecy of the day has really come true...... Zhang Lu smiled slightly: "I am ordered by my master to go down the mountain today, and I want to visit a master in a wild place, I am afraid that the road is dangerous and difficult, and I want to ask the brave generals under the command of Cao Gong to teach me fighting skills...... Of course, I can't mention that I learned martial arts in order to fight Tiangong in the future, but I only said that I want to go deep into the wilderness, and I am afraid of encountering some wild beasts or demons and monsters, so I have to sharpen my spear in battle."

Cao Cao didn't answer him, but asked rhetorically: "Sir is profound, and he still needs mortal skills?"

Zhang Lu casually made up nonsense, saying that I have only been cultivating for more than ten years, so I really can't say anything profound...... It's just that diseases don't invade and all evils are difficult to approach, but who knows what kind of demon moths are in those remote and barbaric places, deep mountains and old forests.

Hao Yuanjie interjected and asked, "Where does the earl want to go?"

Zhang Luxin said where is the wilderness enough? As soon as his eyes rolled, he immediately replied: "I want to go through Nanzhong and Panyue." ”

The Panyue Kingdom, also known as the Hanyue Kingdom, is bordered by Myanmar in the east and the Brahmaputra River in the west on the northeast corner of India in later generations. However, the northern part of Myanmar in this year was actually under the jurisdiction of Yongchang County, Yizhou, so Panyue was a neighbor of the Han Dynasty, and it could also be regarded as a subject country, and it once sent envoys to pay tribute to Yongchang. If you want to go further, even if Zhang Lu remembers the old names of those ancient countries, Cao Cao and Hao Yuanjie may not be able to understand them, but when it comes to Panyue, everyone knows it - of course, except for the name and general direction, the rest don't know anything.

However, Cao Cao didn't care where Zhang Lu was going and what hardships he would encounter, he just repeatedly asked Zhang Lu to calculate another hexagram for himself and set up a prediction. Zhang Lu smiled and said: "On divination, I might as well ...... Yuanjie" Cao Cao said how could it be, you see that I was defeated in Chibi this time, Hao Yuanjie couldn't be counted, and you could write the word "Weiji" more than ten years ago.

Zhang Lu said, I have places that I can see, and there are places that I can't see, there are places that I can see and places that I can't see, and I can't think that because my eyesight is better and I can see farther, I must be better than Hao Yuanjie. The divination of the Yuan Festival can be seen in subtleties, but I just look at the general situation......

He explained tightly, but Cao Cao didn't believe it, but he refused to let go when he saw that Zhang Lu was alive or dead, so simply, I asked you directly-"Ask sir, can Han Zuo be able to do it for a long time?"

Zhang Lu smiled "hehe": "The public surname is Cao, not Liu, Han Zuo has been for a long time, what does it have to do with the public?"

On the surface, it seems that he is asking rhetorical questions and fooling around, but Cao Cao is so smart, he understood the true meaning on the spot. As soon as he pondered that this was good, then I asked the question repeatedly and asked Count Zhang to answer it. So the second asked: "Can the world be determined to be one?"

"The general trend of the world, together for a long time, must be divided, and for a long time, it must be united. ”

"Shall I see?"

"In the past, don......'t you see that the world is set to be one?" Haha, you guess for yourself.

"Shall I live long?"

Zhang Luxin said how long did Cao Cao live? 50s or 60s? Damn, I don't remember—"Life is rare for seventy years." "You won't live to be seventy anyway.

"My great enemy, Sun Quanye, Liu Beiye?"

Zhang Lu twisted his beard and said with a smile: "Sun Zhong is a disciple to guard his father and brother's foundation, what a way." Liu Xuande is a hero in the world, and he can be a dragon and phoenix with Cao Gong. ”

Cao Cao knew it in his heart, thought about it for a while, and continued to ask: "In the past, I begged Dong, and was defeated by Xu Rong in Xingyang Bianshui, and it was almost inevitable; Later, Yanzhou was captured by Lu Bu, and only three cities remained; I lost my son and nephew and killed the general Dian Wei; and now I am in Chibi, and I am defeated by Zhou Yu's children...... Is there still such a failure?"

What Zhang Luxin said about Xingyang Bianshui, I don't know about it...... I only remember that there were three battles in the Three Kingdoms era at the end of the Han Dynasty that were enough to change the general trend of the world, Guandu was the first, Chibi was the second, and the third was Yiling - then it has nothing to do with you Cao Mengde. replied casually: "From the impermanent victory of the general, the undefeated army, the defeat can be rectified, the shame is brave, Si Ke is fearless." ”

Cao Cao said in his heart Listen to your words, I may still have to lose the battle...... Recalling the flames that soared on the river not long ago, hundreds of thousands of trees turned into ashes in an instant, and I couldn't help but take a big blow to my ambitions, so I looked up to the sky and sighed: "Since I raised the army, there have been many falls, and personnel are troubled, how can I be as worry-free as Mr. I want to cultivate immortals, I don't know if it's okay?"

Lou Gui was shocked on the spot, and said in his heart that Cao Cao was going to pick a son, how did he say this...... was about to be persuaded, but Zhang Lu preemptively opened his mouth: "I can give up everything, so I can cultivate immortals, can Cao Gong be? Since ancient times, there has been no immortal emperor, nor has there been a resident immortal, or seeking truth or seeking his name, each has its own needs." Cao Gong is too deeply involved in Hongchen, and he may not be able to get immortal fate. ”

He originally felt that Cao Cao's questions were more difficult to answer one by one, no matter how much he pretended to be profound, it was useless, his half-immortal brain was about to turn around, and now Cao Cao actually had a decadent heart again, and he actually wanted to pursue the immortal path...... This topic can't be led by the other party anymore, so let's get it back quickly.

So he applied for the pre-discussion again, hoping that Cao Cao could help introduce one or two generals and teach himself martial arts: "Don't you know whether Xu Gongming is there?" and I heard that there is a tiger marquis Xu Zhongkang under the command of Cao Gong, and he can lift the cow, so Lu can see it?"

Since Cao Cao began to give up on himself a little, he was in no mood to ask about the future, and finally replied to Zhang Lu, saying that Xu Huang was not there-"I will leave him to guard Hanjin with Manzhong." "But Xu Yu is here, I'll call him in to meet you.

Zhang Lu didn't expect that Xu Yu was wrapped in gauze and walked in on crutches...... It turned out that the Chibi army was defeated that day, Xu Zhongkang tried to protect Cao Cao, and he was hit by several arrows in his body, and one arm was burned by fire, and half of the skin and flesh were black. However, he has always had a good physique, so he can still twist the gun across the horse and open the way first. Who would have thought that the defeated soldiers would immediately pour into Huarong, the road in that place was already narrow, and it had rained heavily a few days ago, and the ground was muddy and difficult to walk...... As a result, Xu Yu was careless, the horse lost its front hoof, and when it rolled down, its thigh happened to be pinned to a stone, and it was fractured on the spot......

Zhang Luxin said that with your virtue, how can you teach me martial arts, it seems that this trip is in vain. So after exchanging greetings with Xu Chu, he stood up and said goodbye to Cao Cao.

In fact, he has nowhere to go at this time, Zhang Jian left Tianzhu Mountain for the time being, planning to sneak attack a certain mortal immortal, I have greeted Zhang Lu in advance, if I return to the mountain after something, I will find a way to inform you at that time, without my instructions, you must not return to Tianzhu. So Zhang Luman can follow Cao Jun back to Xudu and wait for Xu Chu to recover, but the problem is ...... In that case, Cao Cao will inevitably ask non-stop, he has already pretended to be a god stick very hard.

And even without this factor and difficulty, Zhang Lu didn't want to mess with Cao Cao for too long. He discovered that everything has a cause and effect, and that the entanglement of cause and effect can bind people firmly to the mortal world. He previously said to Cao Cao: "Cao Gong is too deeply involved in Hongchen, and I am afraid that he will not be able to get immortal fate." "It's not a casual gesture, it's a feeling.

You think, if I hadn't made up my mind to visit Cao Cao at the beginning, I wouldn't have entered Yuan's camp first, and I wouldn't have had a fight with Liu Gen; Cao Cao wouldn't have known Xuan Jian, nor would I have ordered Xuan Jian to change his name and surname in the future, and be in charge of the cultivators for him; without his friendship with Cao Cao, Zhang Jian would not have incarnated as Wang Zhen and temporarily resided in Cao Ying; if Zhang Jian had not entered Cao Ying, he would certainly not have known Xu Chu, and he would not have let himself go down the mountain to ask Xu Zhongkang for martial arts......

These multiple causes and effects are all connected, and the result is that after more than ten years, he sent himself to Cao Cao for the second time.

Seeing that Cao Cao was getting old and had just lost a game in Chibi, his ambition gradually faded, and he actually had the intention of cultivating immortals. Originally, Cao Cao attracted a lot of cultivators, not to mention being a monkey, and he didn't take them too seriously, it can be said that it is equivalent to advocating excellence, but now that this mentality has changed, it is difficult to say what will happen in the future. At this time, I have more contact with Cao Cao, will I be entangled in karma and make more demon moths?

No, I can't stay long, so let's say goodbye first, and then think about where to go...... Otherwise, I'm going to go to India and have a look?
