Chapter 459 Guess
"If you have any ideas about the Kushan Kingdom, you should first understand what the so-called Kushan Kingdom is like." After hearing that Kuai Yue had ideas about the Kushan Kingdom, Zhuge Liang reminded him.

Although they were now completely in the dark about the situation of Kushan, and didn't even know where Kushan was, they only had fragments of information they had read in history books and some glimpses from the assassin's broken memories.

But compared to people like Kuai Yue who knew nothing about Kushan, they at least knew who and where the Kushans were and their descendants established the country.

It's a pity that Yang Ji was unwilling to share information about the Kushans with them, otherwise they wouldn't have to look for the little information about the Kushans' Yuezhi in various records.

When asked why he didn't want them to share the intelligence about Kushan, he said that now was not the time to announce these things. When asked when the time would be, he said he would have to wait for Chen Xi's notification, because Chen Xi had warned him in advance not to reveal information related to the world to others too early.

It must be said that in the past two years, Yang Ji has not only made great progress in military skills, but has also learned Tai Chi. However, his movements are too stiff and not smooth at all. Chen Xi clearly told them not to reveal relevant information, but Yang Ji still leaked a lot of things.

Then they found some clues from the many books they had read about Han foreign diplomacy, a hint of the truth of the world under the sky -

It turns out that there are so many countries outside the Central Plains, especially in the west of the Western Regions, there are some countries that can put some pressure on the Han Dynasty.

For example, the Parthian Empire was recorded in Sima Qian's "Records of the Grand Historian": At first, when the Han envoys arrived in Parthia, the Parthian king ordered 20,000 cavalry to meet them at the eastern border.

Just to welcome a Han envoy, 20,000 cavalry were dispatched at once. This seemed wrong no matter how you looked at it, although the reason was that the Han Dynasty had just won the decisive battle in Mobei against the Xiongnu at that time.

However, even if the Han Dynasty won the war against the Huns, the Parthian Empire would not have sent out 20,000 cavalry to welcome guests. And how could a country that could send out 20,000 cavalry to welcome guests be a small country?

Look at the princes of the Han Dynasty today. Except for a few princes who occupy horse-producing land and have no shortage of food and grass, which prince can come up with 20,000 cavalry at one time? And these are 20,000 cavalry to welcome guests.

Many records found in ancient books all indicate one thing: this world is not just for the Han Dynasty, there are also masters under the sky that the Han Dynasty cannot reach.

However, although Yang Ji did not tell them the truth, he also said that our Han Dynasty belongs to the first echelon of countries. The first echelon, it sounds really good, think about how many families in the Central Plains belong to the first echelon.

Now that I think about it, some of the actions of Yang Ji and Chen Xi were probably preparations for future confrontations with countries outside the Central Plains that we have never touched before.

"In short, even if you want to avenge Liu Jingzhou, you have to know where this country is, right?" Zhuge Liang spread his hands and said. He dared to guarantee that Kuai Yue had no idea where the Kushans were hiding.

Kuai Yue's face turned dark, and he immediately increased his mental output, determined to search for the memory of the site of the Kushan Empire from the assassin's memory bubble. Unfortunately, such insignificant memories were also the easiest to destroy. All Kuai Yue could find from the memory bubble was probably somewhere further south in southern Yizhou.

After feeling that there was really no value to be gained from the memory bubble in his hand, Kuai Yue returned the memory bubble to Zhuge Liang with an unhappy look on his face. This was what Zhuge Liang specifically reminded him of when he increased his mental power output just now, saying that Yang Ji would need to use this memory bubble later, so it must not be damaged.

Since the assassin's memory did not contain the specific location of Kushan, he could only rely on the various diplomatic records of the Han Dynasty that he had read. The assassin was able to walk thousands of miles from Kushan to find the Han Dynasty. Kuai Yue did not believe that he could not find a country called Kushan among the countries surrounding the Han Dynasty.

“……”Kuai Yue had searched through his memory, but he could not find any record about the Kushans. There were a lot of records about the small countries surrounding the Han Dynasty, but he could not find any records about the existence of the Kushans.

"Is there any country or foreign race called Kushan around the Han Dynasty?" Kuai Yue asked Zhuge Liang directly. Zhuge Liang's reaction just now has already explained a lot of things. They just wanted him to test this country called Kushan.

Wait, testing the Kushans? Besides the fact that the Han Dynasty needs to be careful when facing the Xiongnu, is there any other country that is worthy of our Han Dynasty testing its foundation?

Kuai Yue frowned and searched his mind again for clues about the word Kushan, but still could not find any clues related to Kushan.

"I wonder if anyone knows a tribe called Dayuezhi?" Without waiting for Kuai Yue to answer, Zhuge Liang said directly: "The Kushan Empire is a country established by the descendants of Dayuezhi, and the Brahmins are the indigenous barbarians living in the land conquered by Dayuezhi." Zhuge Liang said this without knowing that the Brahmins were also outsiders.

"Dayuezhi..." The hint given by Zhuge Liang finally allowed Kuai Yue to find relevant clues in his memory. However, there were not many records about Dayuezhi in the Han Dynasty, so all Kuai Yue knew was that Kushan was in the Western Regions.

The Kushans are in the Western Regions... It seems like nothing has been said. After all, they had already determined from the assassin's figure and face that the assassin came from the Western Regions. At that time, they thought that the assassin was sent by Li Jue and others.

So in the end, we still have to go back to Zhuge Liang... wouldn't all the brain cells he spent be in vain?

Kuai Yue wanted to curse someone, but he didn't know who to curse. If he cursed Zhuge Liang, he would justifiably and confidently retort that he didn't ask.

Kuai Yue took a deep breath and said to Zhuge Liang: "Just tell me all the information you know, and I will do my best to serve as your vanguard."

Although the previous thinking did not allow Kuai Yue to find any records related to Kuaishan, it did make Kuai Yue realize one thing: there seems to be a lot of potential outside the Central Plains.

Combining Zhuge Liang and his men's plan to attack Yongchang County in Yizhou and Rinnan County in Jiaozhou, as well as the records about the countries in the Western Regions in his mind, Kuai Yue can basically be sure of one thing: Liu Bei is planning to make some big news outside the Central Plains.

Although he didn't know what the top people on Liu Bei's side were planning, he, Kuai Yue, had to get involved. After using his spiritual talent to pull himself out of the Central Plains, Kuai Yue discovered that the world outside the Central Plains seemed very interesting.

In the corners of the classics, what kind of wonderful stories are buried in the lands outside the Central Plains, and what kind of people live on the lands... "This is all we know, and we have inferred these things bit by bit from many classics." Pang Tong said helplessly.

After Pang Tong finished the previous sentence, he rolled his eyes and said to Kuai Yue: "If you want to know more information, you can go to General Yang Ji. He should have complete information about the Kushans."

Kuai Yue was silent for a moment. Pang Tong’s suggestion was very good, but he should not make such suggestions next time. No one would like to hear such highly feasible suggestions.

"In fact, it would be better for everyone not to underestimate the country called Kushan." Zhuge Liang couldn't help but remind them when he saw that everyone was having a great time and looked down on Kushan.

"Is a country founded by the descendants of a mere loser worthy of you, Zhuge Kongming, being so fearful?" Kuai Yue squinted his eyes and looked at Zhuge Liang. Kuai Yue felt a deep threat from Zhuge Liang, which meant that Zhuge Liang had spiritual talents.

Kuai Yue thought he was right in guessing the ages of Zhuge Liang and the other two young men. Kuai Yue glanced at Sima Yi and Pang Tong beside Zhuge Liang, both of whom were teenagers.

Why did Kuai Yue so easily approve Zhuge Liang's acceptance of Liu Biao's power? Not only because Liu Bei and Liu Biao were both relatives of the Han royal family and had the legitimacy to accept Liu Biao's power, but also because of these three young men who were only in their teens.

Let three teenagers lead the army alone? Haha, anyone who believes this is a fool, even if these young people are very capable and even have spiritual talents.

However, sometimes it is not enough to have sufficient ability to lead an army independently. Qualifications and experience are also extremely important reference factors. The accumulation of qualifications and experience takes time, and the most direct manifestation of this is age.

A force may be based on meritocracy at the beginning, but when a force reaches a stable period, it often needs to consider seniority, which is something that cannot be changed at that point.

Therefore, Kuai Yue concluded that behind Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and Pang Tong, there must be a senior who was passing on his experience.

With three spiritual talents, this detachment certainly has no shortage of capabilities, so the deputy general assigned to them by Yang Ji must be an experienced veteran.

Kuai Yue even suspected that Yang Ji from Yuzhou was also paying attention to the situation of the trio. A teenage person with awakened spiritual talent, Kuai Yue had never seen one before. If it were him, he would have to keep an eye on him all the time to make sure he was not abducted by some shameless people.

Back to Kuai Yue's questioning of Zhuge Liang, he originally thought that Zhuge Liang should be a very confident person. What kind of foundation could a country established by the descendants of a loser have? The 30,000 elite Danyang soldiers behind Zhuge Liang alone were enough to overthrow the country. When Ban Chao was in the Western Regions, he did not have such conditions, but he still swept across the countries in the Western Regions.

"Yes, I am somewhat wary of the country of Kushan." Zhuge Liang admitted his fear of Kushan without any hesitation.

"Have you forgotten why the assassin came here to assassinate Liu Jingzhou?" Zhuge Liang said calmly. He had never ignored the great power of fate.

"If the ability to know destiny is an ability that someone has elevated to a higher level, it would be fine. But what if it is a great supernatural power under a certain system?" Zhuge Liang said slowly while looking at Kuai Yue, Sima Yi, Pang Tong and others. This is what he had been thinking about after learning about the ability to know destiny.

"The name 'Su Ming Tong' doesn't sound like someone's ability to be elevated." Pang Tong also stated what he had noticed before.

"The assassin's broken memories seemed to have mentioned the visualization of gods and Buddhas several times." Sima Yi said thoughtfully. Could it be that the destiny-seeking ability is the supernatural power under this so-called visualization system of gods and Buddhas?

Zhuge Liang looked at Sima Yi with some resentment, then stretched out his mental power and once again used his mental power to touch the assassin's memory bubble.

Kuai Yue, Pang Tong and others were silently waiting for the results of Zhuge Liang's investigation. If the ability to see destiny was indeed a magical power under the so-called system of visualization of gods and Buddhas, then the country of Kushan was indeed worthy of attention.

Zhuge Liang withdrew his mental power with a slightly ugly look on his face. He did find the visualization of gods and Buddhas mentioned by Sima Yi in his memory bubble, but it was only the name of visualization of gods and Buddhas. As for the content of visualization of gods and Buddhas, there was nothing at all.

Facing the expectant gazes of others, Zhuge Liang shook his head to indicate that he had not found the specific content of the visualization of gods and Buddhas, nor had he found the source of the destiny-seeing ability.

Looking at Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and others with heavy expressions, Kuai Yue felt a little strange. Wasn't it just a system of visualizing gods and Buddhas? Was it necessary for three young people who had awakened their spiritual talents in their teens to take it so seriously?

Aren't young people supposed to be the stubborn ones who defy everything and everyone and refuse to submit to anyone? Why are they different when it comes to the trio? They don't look like the arrogant and confident teenagers at all. Is it possible that repressive education is prevalent on Liu Bei's side?
The reason why Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and Pang Tong were so serious was not the suppression of education, but the system of visualization of gods and Buddhas. It is not so easy to establish a system that can be passed down.

Anyone who can establish a system that can be passed down must be no weaker than the top wise men of the Han Dynasty, and may even be comparable to the sages of the past.

As long as this system can be passed on and there are enough people using this system, sooner or later someone will reach the upper limit of this system and then break through the shackles of the system to expand or complete the original system, or establish a new system by themselves.

"Forget it, let's not think about these things. Anyway, there are tall people to support us, so we small fry should not worry about these things." Pang Tong said casually.

He now understood why Yang Ji did not tell them the complete information about Kushan. This little bit of information was enough to make them think about it and cause them to suffer mental exhaustion. If they knew the complete information, their mental exhaustion would be even more serious.

Of course, it is also possible that after seeing the complete intelligence, they will become more radical. After all, our Han Empire is invincible in the world. How can the mere Kushans be the opponent of our Han Heavenly Army?
