Chapter 178: Mr. Chen Kang and Nanhua Old Immortal
Sima Yi decided to go out.
Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong also decided to go out.
The changes in the situation in the world have made these talented strategists no longer dare to be arrogant and wait for the price to sell.
If you don't go out, you may not have the opportunity to assist the "lord".
Pang Tong asked, "Kong Ming, have you thought about it?" Who do you plan to assist in the mountains? β
Zhuge Liang was silent for a while and said, "I haven't thought about it yet. β
Now the two strongest princes are Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.
It's just that Cao Cao became a commonplace, controlled the elite of the 200,000 Xiliang Army and the Son of Heaven, took over the central court, and had great righteousness.
Yuan Shao's military strength is not much different from Cao Cao's, but it is weaker in momentum.
As for Liu Biao and Sun Quan and others, compared with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, they can only be regarded as small princes.
If it weren't for Cao Cao and Yuan Shao maintaining a delicate balance, once Cao Cao freed up his hand, he could clean up Liu Biao and them at any time.
Pang Tong said: "There are many strategists and fierce generals under Yuan Shao's command. But Yuan Benchu is not decisive enough and looks forward to the future. He wants to do great things, but he cherishes his feathers, and cares too much about the reputation of the Yuan family. β
"Cao Mengde is not bad."
"But under Cao Mengde's command, there are many strategists and fierce generals. If we take refuge in Cao Cao, I'm afraid we can only be a little minion. Anyway, I'm not reconciled. β
The literati are light.
Not to mention young men like Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang.
They boast that they have the pulse of the general trend, and as soon as they enter the ranks, they want to occupy a high position.
From the little minions to climb up step by step?
They don't have that patience.
However, no matter what, the official must choose a prince to assist.
Can't wait any longer.
Zhuge Liang said: "Yuan Benchu and Cao Mengde are not the targets I chose. In my estimation, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao may have a stalemate for a few more years. Cao Cao had just made Sikong, and he still needed some time to straighten out the interior. Yuan Shao also needs to clean up Gongsun Zan first, and first stabilize the territory in the Liaodong area of Youzhou. β
Pang Tong said: "Kong Ming, it is said that Liu Bei went to visit you?" β
Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "He wants to invite me out of the mountain." β
Pang Tong said: "Liu Bei can't. Although he is an imperial uncle, he has no strength and no territory. Assisting Liu Bei, there is no hope. β
Liu Bei has a good reputation, unparalleled benevolence and righteousness, and has two peerless generals by his side.
But so what?
In the world of great contention, it is not just by being able to fight, you can gain a foothold among the princes.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's martial arts have not yet reached the realm of invincibility in the world.
Unless, like Chen Kang, he can easily defeat Lu Bu and come and go freely among the ten thousand armies, then he is qualified to use martial arts to determine the situation.
Assist Liu Bei, then the beginning is really hellish difficulty. Pang Tong didn't believe it could be done.
β¦β¦
Zhuge Liang returned to his thatched house.
Liu Bei took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to the door again.
Zhuge Liang didn't close the door and didn't see anything, playing the trick of "looking at the thatched house three times and not seeing it".
In fact, Zhuge Liang is also afraid that if he gets rid of it and is self-defeating, it will become a joke.
Since Zhuge Liang decided to see Liu Bei, then he had already made a decision to assist Liu Bei.
That's right, Liu Bei is still in the initial stage of entrepreneurship, which is the most difficult and impoverished period.
Liu Bei has nothing but fame.
But this is a huge benefit to Zhuge Liang.
The icing on the cake is never as good as sending charcoal in the snow.
If Zhuge Liang went out to assist Liu Bei in the most difficult time, then Zhuge Liang's position in Liu Bei's group in the future will be under one person.
As for entrepreneurial failure?
Then everything is closed, and there is no need to talk about it.
The risks and benefits are directly proportional.
Zhuge Liang decided to take a gamble with Liu Bei. Hell-level difficulty, Zhuge Liang plans to challenge it.
Liu Bei sat opposite Zhuge Liang and said, "Strategist, what should we do next?" β
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at Zhuge Liang, hoping that he could show everyone the way.
Without the guidance of a wise man, although the three brothers have been full of enthusiasm over the years, they have encountered walls everywhere and have been displaced.
They don't want to live like this again.
Zhuge Liang said: "Jingzhou Liu Biao is old, and his body is almost unable to support it. Liu Biao's sons were all unsuccessful. Let's learn from Chen Kang, and come to a dove to occupy the magpie's nest and swallow the elephant. As long as Jingzhou is swallowed, it will seek Bashu Yizhou again, and then it will occupy Yangzhou and Jiangdong. β
Is there any way to expand the power the fastest?
That is to turn other people's forces into your own.
Zhuge decided to learn from Chen Kang.
The 200,000 troops of the Xiliang Army were swallowed up by Chen Kang and turned into an elite army under Cao Cao.
The essence of fighting the country is to turn other people's territory into your own territory.
Chen Kang's approach is actually in line with the strategy of "going to the army to fight and plot".
Liu Bei hurriedly said: "How can I seek Liu Biao's Jingzhou?" Liu Biao is kind to me......"
Zhuge Liang didn't take Liu Bei's words, and continued: "We don't have much time. Every step of the plan must be steady, and no mistakes can be made. Otherwise, even if we have some achievements in the end, we will only be destroyed by Cao Mengde. β
Up to now, Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness are a chicken rib.
Liu Bei has been righteous for so many years, and it's time to change his style of doing things.
Tzu is not in charge of the army.
If it is really benevolence and righteousness, then go to practice Buddhism, go to study and cultivate the mind, why bother to dominate the world?
Guan Yu said: "Strategist, how can we make Jingzhou our own?" β
Zhuge Liang said: "Liu Biao, I know this person very well. Leave this matter to me. However, when it comes to the critical time, it is also necessary to use the force of Yun Chang and Yide. β
Zhang Fei laughed: "It's long overdue." Strategist, I will kill whoever you say. My eldest brother is a descendant of the Han Queen, and whoever dares to disobey will stab him in a hundred and ten blood holes. β
β¦β¦
I have to say that Zhuge Liang's resourcefulness is comparable to that of a demon.
Less than two months.
Liu Biao died.
And Liu Bei occupied the magpie's nest and became the actual controller of Jingzhou.
Zhuge Liang's plan can be called perfect.
But in practice, there were still accidents.
That is, Liu Biao actually has a peerless fierce general Huang Zhong under his command.
If Guan Yu and Zhang Fei hadn't joined forces, I'm afraid they wouldn't have been able to deal with Huang Zhong. Fortunately, in the end, Zhuge Liang still subdued Huang Zhong and made him willing to work for Liu Bei.
After taking control of Jingzhou, Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei set their sights on Bashu again.
The plan is still "the dove occupies the magpie's nest".
As long as Zhuge Liang replicates the strategy in Yizhou, he can let Liu Bei take Yizhou as his own.
However, what Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang did still can't hide from some well-intentioned people.
Many princes began to curse Liu Bei, saying that he was a hypocrite. On the surface, he was benevolent and righteous, but he seized Jingzhou with conspiracy and trickery.
Regardless of whether Liu Bei's personality collapsed or not, Liu Bei did have a base and a foundation in the shortest possible time.
Next, Zhuge Liang is looking for Liu Bei to find a martial arts master who can compete with Chen Kang.
If you want to confront the Cao Cao group, the military strength of the territory is only one aspect.
It is equally important to have a master like Chen Kang.
Otherwise, once Chen Kang makes a move, Liu Bei and the others will definitely not be able to catch it.
can't stop Chen Kang, then Liu Bei's fate in the future will not be much better than Dong Zhuo.
However, how can a martial arts powerhouse like Chen Kang be so easy to invite?
β¦β¦
Luoyang City.
The palace has only been renovated for the most part, and the private buildings in the city are gradually being repaired.
Many properties in the city have become ownerless.
That time Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang, not only burned most of the buildings, but also burned many homeowners.
Cao Cao took all these properties back to Sikong Mansion and sold them to the officials of the family at a high price, or rented them out at a high price.
In short, it is to make the family bleed.
After Chen Kang took the Son of Heaven back to Luoyang, he entered the retreat mode again.
Practicing and studying martial arts is Chen Kang's main business. For other things, Chen Kang tried not to get involved.
Sikong Mansion.
Cao Cao set up a banquet and invited Chen Kang to the banquet.
Originally, Chen Kang didn't want to come, but Cao Cao had to invite, and it was difficult to be gracious, so Chen Kang could only agree.
"Mr. Chen Kang has arrived!"
The porter shouted.
Chen Kang was dressed in black and walked into the mansion empty-handed.
Others came to the feast, and they wanted to bring gifts.
Only Chen Kang came empty-handed, as if he was really just here to eat and drink.
In the living room of the main hall, Cao Cao, Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Jia Xu, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Li Dao and others all stood up.
Cao Cao said happily: "Mr. Chen Kang has arrived. Let's go out and meet you. β
The person who can let Cao Cao personally come to the door of the living room to greet him, except for the Son of Heaven, I am afraid that only Chen Kang has such treatment.
Chen Kang has a slightly chubby figure and baby fat on his face, like a large baby. Many juniors present looked at Chen Kang, their eyes full of envy, even jealousy.
Chen Kang smiled and said, "Lord, I'm just here to attend the banquet. I'll eat something and leave. Why are you making it so grand? I felt a little flattered. β
Cao Cao laughed: "Mr. Chen Kang, I, Cao Mengde, have said that I will not fail you." Cao has today, thanks to Mr. β
Lu Bu and the others said respectfully: "I have seen Mr. Chen Kang. β
Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, the generals of the state, can be regarded as having integrated into the Cao Cao group.
It's just that when Cao Cao used Lu Bu, he just asked Lu Bu to attack the city and use him as a vanguard general.
After all, Lu Bu's character and wisdom make it impossible to be a commander.
Chen Kang pressed Lu Bu, but Lu Bu didn't make any trouble.
It's just that Lu Bu is still a little unconvinced, or unwilling.
But there is no way, who let Lu Bu not be able to beat Chen Kang?
Cao Cao said: "Mr. Chen Kang, come, let me introduce you to a few young heroes. This is Yang Xiu of the Yang family. This one is Sima Yi of the Sima family. They're very smart. β
Yang Xiu was standing behind Cao Zhi.
Sima Yi stood beside Cao Pi.
Of course, Chen Kang knew that Yang Xiu and Sima Yi were smart. So far, it seems that the two have chosen a camp. Even in Cao Cao's group, there are already many small groups.
In the future, I am afraid that the internal struggle will be more fierce and cruel.
Chen Kang nodded at Yang Xiu and Sima Yi, and then ignored it.
Chen Kang's status can be ranked second in the Cao Cao Group. The first, of course, is Cao Cao.
Cao Cao's sons almost all studied martial arts under Chen Kang's disciples.
Cao Ang and Cao Zhang were even accepted as disciples by Chen Kang.
Yang Xiu and Sima Yi can only be regarded as juniors in front of Chen Kang.
At the banquet, Chen Kang basically became the protagonist.
This is one of the reasons why Chen Kang does not like to participate in wine banquets.
Cao Cao took a sip of wine and said, "Mr. Chen Kang, what do you think we should do next?" β
Chen Kang said: "Lord, you shouldn't ask me about these mundane things. You know, I don't care about these things. If you ask me how to practice martial arts, I will know everything. Military and government affairs, the lord should ask Guo Fengxiao and Wen Ruo. β
Sima Yi said softly to Cao Pi: "Childe, Mr. Chen Kang is too rude to Lord Sikong, right?" β
Cao Pi said: "Mr. Chen Kang has always talked to his father like this. If I don't pay attention to my martial arts practice, I am often cleaned up by Mr. Chen Kang. β
Chen Kang used rattan to clean up Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, which was a real fight, not just a show.
Cao Pi Cao Zhi and these sons are a little afraid of Chen Kang, as for whether there is resentment, only God knows.
Sima Yi was curious and wanted to know what realm Chen Kang's martial arts had reached?
Some people say that Chen Kang is a land immortal, but in Sima Yi's opinion, Chen Kang does not seem to have the temperament of a martial artist except for being young.
Sima Yi is not a martial artist, and of course he can't sense Chen Kang's strength.
Chen Kang's martial arts have reached the level of returning to the basics.
Didn't Sima Yi want to see Chen Kang's martial arts?
The next moment.
Here's your chance.
I saw an old man in a Taoist robe carrying a long sword on his back and walking into Sikong Mansion.
Cao Cao didn't invite a Taoist priest to come.
This Taoist priest is a bit inaccurate.
The Taoist priest's beard was white, but there was not a single wrinkle on his face. The collagen on his face is full and his skin is delicate, and no one will object to saying that he is a handsome white-haired youth.
When they saw the Taoist, everyone immediately thought of the word "Tongyan Hefa" in their hearts.
Cao Cao and the others looked at the Taoist curiously.
Only Chen Kang's face was solemn.
Chen Kang stood up and stood in front of Cao Cao.
"Dao Chief, you have murderous intent." Chen Kang stared at the Taoist and said in a cold voice, "I don't know who you want to kill when you come this time?" β
The Taoist smiled and said, "You are Chen Kang, right?" At a young age, he practiced martial arts well. It's a pity that you are still some distance away from the innate body. Poor Dao came to Luoyang this time because he was entrusted by others. Someone asked Poor Dao to take Cao Mengde's life. β
Cao Cao's face changed drastically.
What a guts!
The Taoist dared to threaten to kill Cao Cao.
Xu Chu and Dian Wei picked up their blades and stared at the Taoist viciously.
Chen Kang said: "You are an old immortal of Nanhua?!" β
The Taoist nodded and said, "It's the poor Dao." β
Chen Kang said secretly, it's a big trouble!
If there is anyone who can threaten Chen Kang's life, then only Nanhua Old Immortal.
Cao Cao laughed: "Want to take my Cao Cao's life?" Old Taoist, you are not qualified yet. β
Chen Kang said: "Lord, the martial arts of Nanhua Old Immortal may be above me. Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Lu Bu, you escort the lord away. I'm here to stop the old fairy of Nanhua. β
Nanhua Old Immortal walked over to Chen Kang step by step, and sneered, "No one can leave from under the sword of the poor road. β
Chen Kang took a few steps forward and said, "Then let Chen Mou come and see the old immortal's martial arts and swordsmanship." β
Nanhua Lao Xian said: "Okay. Poor Dao will kill you Chen Kang first, and then kill Cao Mengde. Without Chen Kang, you block the sword for Cao Mengde, you have to take a look at the poor road, who else can stop the poor road? β
Chen Kang took the lead.
Chen Kang moved fast, but did not provoke sonic waves and sonic booms.
This is because Chen Kang has eliminated most of the air resistance with his superb martial arts skills.
Qiang.
Nanhua Old Immortal pulled out his long sword, and a simple straight stab made Chen Kang stop.
Chen Kang had to stop.
Moving on, Chen Kang will be pierced by a sword.
Nanhua Old Immortal's swordsmanship, similar to Chen Kang's straight fist, has reached the realm of simplifying the complex, and even simplifying the avenue.
In fact, Nanhua Old Immortal's martial arts are more subtle than Chen Kang.
I really don't know how Nanhua Old Immortal practiced.
Chen Kang retired.
He had to retreat.
The long sword locked onto Chen Kang, like a maggot on the tarsal bone.
Being entangled in the long sword of Nanhua Old Immortal is a very terrifying thing.
Chen Kang has met many swordsmanship powerhouses, and swordsmanship powerhouses like Sword Saint and Nameless are already the pinnacle of swordsmanship.
But not talking about strength, in terms of swordsmanship alone, Nanhua Old Immortal is stronger than Sword Master and Nameless.
Chen Kang could grab other people's swords with his bare hands, but he didn't dare to grab Nanhua Old Immortal's long sword.
Chen Kang shouted: "Lord, you go quickly." I'm not going to be able to guarantee your safety here. This Taoist's martial arts and swordsmanship are too strong, and I am not sure that I can win him. β
Chen Kang did not hesitate at all, and used the technique of multiplying the force.
Speed and power suddenly doubled.
But.
Chen Kang clearly sensed that there was a subtle damage in his body, and some muscle fibers began to break.
If he didn't use twice as many power techniques, Chen Kang might die.
However, if you use the power multiplication technique, you will be left with a dark wound in your body, and it will be even more difficult to train into a leakless body and an innate body.
So far, Chen Kang can't care so much.
Live first, and then talk about passing the level of Nanhua Old Immortal.
Bang.
Chen Kang's whole body was surging, and his eyes turned scarlet. Chen Kang's speed and sharpness can already keep up with the rhythm of Nanhua Old Immortals.
Nanhua Old Immortal's pupils shrank, and he sneered: "Good boy, you actually forcibly increased your strength and speed. If you haven't cultivated your innate body, you use this kind of domineering martial arts technique, which is simply cutting off the path of cultivation. β
Chen Kang didn't talk, but focused on cracking the swordsmanship of Nanhua Old Immortal.
Chen Kang used boxing skills to deal with Nanhua Old Immortal's sword, which seemed to be a loss, but it was actually very fair.
Because Chen Kang is best at hand-to-hand combat.
If Chen Kang also uses a sword, I am afraid that he will be defeated by Nanhua Old Immortal in less than three moves.
Chen Kang knows a lot about swordsmanship theories and swordsmanship cultivation methods.
Ten thousand swords return to the sect, the sword heart is clear, and the sword is twenty-three......
All of them are brilliant swordsmanship.
But when it comes to playing with swords, Nanhua Lao Immortal is a professional, Chen Kang is not a swordsman, and if he fights the enemy with a sword, he will be defeated.
The collision of sword qi and fist strength formed a gangfeng, which shook the people in the hall and kept retreating.
Cao Cao, under the protection of Xu Chudian and Wei LΓΌbu, retreated to the outermost periphery.
In order to watch the battle, Cao Cao did not leave.
Cao Cao believed in Chen Kang.
He believed that Chen Kang would definitely be able to defeat this Taoist with a childish face.
All along, Chen Kang has never disappointed Cao Cao. In Cao Cao's heart, Chen Kang is a land immortal, and his martial arts are invincible in the world.
Sima Yi was calm on the surface, but his heart was turbulent.
Sima Yi stared at Nanhua Old Immortal and Chen Kang, and said secretly: "It's too powerful." How could an individual's martial arts be so powerful? Could it be that people can really become immortals? β
Only when you really see the strength of Chen Kang and Nanhua Lao Xian can you experience that kind of visual impact and ideological shock.
Then, Sima Yi shook his head secretly.
If people can really become immortals, then Qin Shi Huang is afraid that he will already be immortals.
Sima Yi said secretly: "No matter how strong Chen Kang and the Daoists are, they are just mortals. As long as it is human, there will be weaknesses. If you have a weakness, you can deal with it. β
Bang.
The bricks on the ground were shaken by the air currents and flew everywhere. Chen Kang was forced to retreat by the tremendous force.
Nanhua Old Immortal had a sneer on his face, and the long sword stabbed at Chen Kang again.
There were blood stains on the corners of Chen Kang's mouth.
Chen Kang was injured by the sword qi.
Chen Kang said secretly: "I used twice the amplitude of the power technique, but I could only barely keep up with the rhythm of Nanhua Old Immortal, and I haven't been able to test his limit." The innate body is indeed very powerful. Twice as many power skills are not enough. So, I'll use the triple force technique! β
In order to survive, Chen Kang couldn't care so much. I don't want to kill the old Nanhua Immortal, but I must fight back this old Taoist.
(From today, the update will resume.) Ask for a ticket. οΌ
