Shu Han Dynasty, the 199th Chinese New Year's Eve of the Shu Han calendar, the political center and cultural center of the dynasty, that is, the imperial capital Jinguan City, in the most central position of the entire Jinguan City, stands the tallest building in the whole city - the Nine Star Octagonal Stargazing Tower.

At this time, on the highest floor of the Nine-Star Octagonal Stargazing Tower, that is, on the ninth star floor, a young Taoist priest dressed in a blue brocade robe, holding a goose feather fan, and a group of fairy wind bones and childish face and crane hair was looking up at the starry sky and carefully observing the starry situation in the sky.

This person is Zhuge Ming, the current supervisor of the Si Tianjian of the Shu Han Dynasty, who is here to watch the stars and predict the fortune of the country on the order of Liu Tian, the son of the Shu Han Dynasty.

Every year at midnight on Chinese New Year's Eve, Si Tianjian would gaze at the stars at the Nine Stars Octagonal Stargazing Tower in order to predict the national fortune for the coming year.

This was already the traditional task of the Si Tianjian of the Shu Han Dynasty, which was carried out by the supervisor himself, and the prediction results of the celestial phenomena were reported to the Son of Heaven at the next day.

This year's stargazing is especially important, because after midnight, it is the 200th year of the Shu Han calendar. The entire 100 years is an extremely important year for every dynasty in history.

At this time, there was still a quarter of an hour before midnight, and Zhuge Ming was looking at the sky intently, not daring to relax his vigilance at all.

Because at this time, the greatest ancestor of the Zhuge family, who knew astronomy and geography, and Zhou Yi gossip, assisted Liu Bei, the ancestor of the Shu Han Dynasty, to sweep Wei and Wu, and unify the opening moment of a prophecy left by Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, is about to come.

Zhuge Liang left a prophecy to the Zhuge family before he died: "Shu Han is two hundred, the red star is shining, the grass people turn over, and China is prosperous." This prophecy is known only to every patriarch in the Zhuge family.

At this time, as the patriarch Zhuge Ming, the content of the ancestor's prophecy was clearly flashing in his mind.

After midnight, it happened to be the first day of the first month of the two hundred years of the Shu Han calendar, and the time for the opening of the prophecy of the ancestors was approaching!

What, why do you say Zhuge Ming doesn't doubt the authenticity of this prophecy? For the Zhuge family, the ancestor Zhuge Liang is a god-like existence, he knew five hundred years before and five hundred years later, how could his words be wrong.

Back then, Liu Bei, the ancestor of the Shu Han Dynasty, brought the martial saint Guan Yu and the brave saint Zhang Fei, and asked the ancestor Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain, and the ancestor was moved by the perseverance of the ancestor, and he had a good conversation with the ancestor, so he agreed to go out of the mountain to assist the ancestor. The ancestor was erudite and talented, talked eloquently about the world's major affairs, formulated a three-legged strategy for the ancestors, and how to gradually unify the world's policies and strategies in the future, which was recorded by later generations, and was known as "Longzhong Pair" in history.

Subsequently, the fledgling ancestor burned Bowangpo with a plan to burn the fire, and the Cao army was broken, and the generals were subdued. In later generations, there was a poem: "Bowang holds each other and attacks with fire, and the command is talking and laughing." Zhisu broke Cao Gong's courage and made the first contribution to the fledgling. ”

Later ancestors suggested that Gaozu join Wu to resist Cao. Before Wu Shu formed an alliance, the old ancestor fought against the Confucianism and persuaded the Eastern Wu to join Liu to resist Cao.

Before the Battle of Chibi, the ancestors used grass boats to borrow arrows, and obtained more than 100,000 arrows in one night; On the eve of the decisive battle, everything was ready, only the east wind was owed, so the ancestors set up an altar, borrowed the east wind, burned the red cliff, and let hundreds of thousands of Cao soldiers lose their armor.

The ancestor expected that the Cao Guild would be defeated by Huarong Dao, and the martial saint Guan Yu asked for battle, and ambushed and intercepted in Huarong Dao, but the ancestor knew that Guan Sheng had received more favors from Cao Gong before, and with Guan Sheng's character of valuing love and righteousness, he would definitely let Cao Gong go, so he did not allow Guan Yu to fight (starting here, history has been tampered with, please refer to the real history), but let Guan Sheng garrison Jingzhou, in case Dongwu tore up the covenant and attacked the rear of Gaozu.

The old ancestor of the interception of Cao Gong ordered the Shenlong general Zhao Zilong to ambush Huarong Road in advance, and set fire to the mountains on both sides of Huarong Road when Cao's army passed. General Shenlong rode alone at the mouth of the passage, one man was the pass, ten thousand people were not opened, all the Cao army was annihilated, and Cao Gong also fell in the fire.

After this battle, the Cao Wei forces in the north were hit hard, and the Eastern Wu took advantage of the victory in the Northern Expedition, and the ancestor suggested that Gaozu go all the way to the west, seize the southwest region, and take the land of Sichuan and Shu as the foundation, seize the land of Guizhou, Hunan, Gui and Yunnan to the south, and occupy the land of Hanzhong to the north.

Taking advantage of the defeat of Cao Wei, Eastern Wu quickly went north to capture the lands of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. At this time, Cao Pi, the son of Cao Gong, won the battle for power among the brothers, quickly organized an army to resist the attack of Eastern Wu, and finally repelled the attack of the Wu army after a hard battle. So far, the strategy of three points of the world has been completed, and the world has three legs.

Later ancestors formulated the basic policy of "accumulating grain and slowing down the king" for Gaozu. Using the land of abundance, the three granaries of Xiangchu and Hanzhong have accumulated sufficient grain and grass, established sufficient logistical support, and at the same time vigorously strengthened the army, and the strength of the army has been greatly improved.

At the end of the spring of the two hundred years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the million-strong army of Shu Han went north out of Qishan, and the ancestor drove his own expedition, accompanied by the old ancestor and a group of strategists, and the five tiger generals and a group of generals charged forward.

Coinciding with the drought in the north for many years, the people were hungry, the ancestor suggested that Gaozu take out food and porridge to save the people, the people and soldiers came to serve, and when attacking the city, they all served their lives, and there were some local people who heard the wind and opened the city gate to welcome Gaozu into the city.

The Shu Han army was like a bamboo, pointing directly at Luoyang, the capital of Wei, and broke through Luoyang at the end of the summer of the same year. In the Mid-Autumn Festival of the same year, Cao Wei's forces were merged into Shu Han. At this point, Gaozu's unification of the world has also become a trend.

At the end of autumn, after Shu Han integrated the northern forces, two million troops rushed directly to Eastern Wu. When the two armies confronted each other across the Yangtze River, the ancestors set up an altar and invited the cold wind to freeze the Yangtze River and make the river surface as flat as if it were walking on the ground. The bottom of the Soochow warship was also completely frozen by the ice and could not move, so far, Soochow completely lost the Yangtze River moat.

The Shu Han army stepped onto the ice, burned the warships, crushed the Eastern Wu army with an absolute numerical superiority, and annihilated the main force of the Eastern Wu army. Subsequently, the Shu Han army besieged Jinling, the capital of Eastern Wu, and seeing that the general trend had gone, Sun Quan, the lord of Eastern Wu, went out of the city and surrendered.

At the end of the two hundred years of the Eastern Han calendar, on the first day of the first month of the first year of the Shu Han Dynasty, Gaozu Liu Bei ascended the throne as the emperor in the capital Jinguancheng. However, in order to distinguish it from the Eastern Han Dynasty, later historians called it "Shu Han" when they recorded it.

For such an old ancestor, how could the descendants of the Zhuge family doubt the authenticity of the prophecy he made?

Midnight was approaching, Zhuge Ming was engrossed in staring at the starry sky, and he was unwilling to miss a single detail.

"Bell, bell, bell", representing the sound of midnight watch. At this moment, the light of the Ziwei Emperor Star hanging in the center of the starry sky was suddenly overshadowed by the flickering light of the surrounding stars, especially the Seven Killing Star directly above the Emperor Star and the Greedy Wolf Star in the southeast emitted the most radiant light, which had faintly become the trend of Xuanbin dominating.

Just as the stars around the Ziwei Emperor Star were shining, and the light of the Seven Kills and the Greedy Wolf was approaching the Emperor Star, a red new star suddenly flashed in the northeast corner far away from the Emperor Star.

The light of the new star was not dazzling, but it was full of a sense of warmth, benevolence, and grandeur, which quickly merged into all the stars in silence, and then instantly turned into an ordinary star hanging in the sky, as if the red light that had just appeared was just an illusion of man.

So far, there has been no abnormality in the starry sky. But Zhuge Ming's heart at this time was turbulent, and the first two sentences of the prophecy of the ancestor Zhuge Liang, "Shu Han two hundred, the red star shines" has been fulfilled.

What such astrological signs portend is easy to understand for Zhuge Ming, the patriarch of the Zhuge family, who has already understood astrology. The first two sentences of the prophecy and the current astrological signs all indicate that on the occasion of the two hundred years of the Shu Han calendar, a male lord will be born.

But for the third sentence of the prophecy, "the grass people turn over", Zhuge Ming is a little difficult to understand. Because even if there is a male lord who overthrows the current court, it will not be the turn of the grass people to turn over? The latter sentence "prosperous China" is relatively easy to understand, and it should be that the country established by this male lord will usher in a prosperous era.

Although he couldn't figure out the third sentence, Zhuge Ming, who was 200% convinced by his ancestor Zhuge Liang, knew that the troubled times were coming, and the Shu Han Dynasty would definitely come to an end. And if you want to continue to maintain the transcendent status of the Zhuge family after the troubled times, you must become the right-hand man of the Red Star Lord.

History has long proved that the family that stands on the wrong side in the troubled times will be crushed by the wheel of history.

Thinking of this, Zhuge Ming has decided that when the Tianming Dynasty meets, he will casually call Liu Tian, the son of today, and then find a reason to start traveling, and immediately go to the northeast to find the Red Star Hero who has been born into the world, and devote himself to it to join the great cause.

Just when Zhuge Ming was stargazing, in Luoyang, a big city in the north, in the mansion of the city lord Sima Yi, the chief staff Xie Xuan was also watching the sky at night. I saw him muttering to himself: "The stars are shining, the light is violet, and troubled times are coming." Seven killings, greedy wolves are approaching the emperor star, who will be the ultimate true son? ”

When the stars were shining just now, Xie Xuan focused more on the Seven Killing Stars that represented his lord. When the light of the Seven Killing Stars shone and the light pressed Ziwei, Xie Xuan was very excited, because it indicated that the lord was expected to take over the world.

The Sima family has been in obscurity for two hundred years, and now that the stars have overshadowed the emperor star, they naturally have a good chance to win the world. Besides, how can there be 100% success in the world? Life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, compared to the benefits, of course, it is worth the risk.

The greedy wolf star in the southeast is also radiant, this is a strong opponent for the lord to dominate the world. But who will tell who will kill the deer? Xie Xuan thought.

But when Xie Xuan was focusing on observing the light of Ziwei, Seven Kills, and Greedy Wolf, he didn't notice the flashing red star light in the northeast corner.

At the same time, in Jinling City, a big city in the southeast of the Shu Han Dynasty, on the deck of the five-story ship of the flagship of the navy on the Yangtze River, the metropolitan governor Zhou Yu was looking up at the starry sky, and muttered excitedly in his heart: "Seven killings, greedy wolves are approaching Ziwei, and Shu Han has reached the end." Zhuge family, you are waiting for the revenge of my Zhou family. Two hundred years ago, Zhou Yu, the genius ancestor of my Zhou family, was killed by Zhuge Liang, the ancestor of your Zhuge family, vomiting blood in three angers, and the land of Dongwu of the lord Sun was also swallowed up by big-eared thieves who sold straw shoes, and now, it is time for us to take revenge on you. ”

It's a pity that Metropolitan Governor Zhou Yu didn't notice the flash of red star in the northeast corner.

The stars are in chaos, the clouds are moving in all directions, and who will have the world in the end?
