Chapter 495 World Conference
"Do you want to meet these so-called immortals?" Yang Ji asked Chen Xi, Liu Bei and others.

"Zi Yu, on such a happy day, can we not say such unlucky words?" Chen Xi glanced at Yuan Shao, then said to Yang Ji.

Hearing Chen Xi's words, Yang Ji blinked, glanced at Yuan Shao and his advisers, then nodded and said, "Sorry, I forgot about this."

Yang Ji's apologetic look deeply hurt Yuan Shao and his advisers, but they had no idea what to say. They were now prisoners of other people, and being able to stand here and get close to the Two Cauldrons of Heaven and Man was already a sign of magnanimity from Liu Bei and his men.

After Yang Ji learned about Chen Xi and others' attitude towards those immortals, he did not stay here for too long and put away the projection of his phantom warrior. He still had a lot of things to do.

"Second Master..." Yang Ji, who had disappeared into thin air, suddenly appeared beside Guan Yu and said, "What are you doing here? Why don't you go and command the troops to clean up the battlefield?"

Guan Yu's hand, which was stroking his long beard, paused for a moment, then nodded and said yes. After greeting Liu Bei, Chen Xi and others, he took Zhang Fei, Hua Xiong and others to clean up the battlefield.

Well, and taking prisoners.

Yuan Shao watched helplessly as Yang Ji disappeared again. Wasn’t it even worth it for him to say hello?
"Xuan De, what are you going to do with me?" Yuan Shao suppressed the grief and anger in his heart and began to plan a way out for his surviving followers.

Of course Yuan Shao would feel unwilling to accept his defeat, but he lost on the battlefield, and losing is losing. Even if Yuan Shao was unwilling to accept it, what could he do? Could he still ask Liu Bei to let him try again?

Yuan Shao was not the kind of person who could not afford to lose, and he had already had a premonition of failure. After all, the gap in strength between the two sides was there, and it would be strange if Liu Bei lost.

If Liu Bei really lost, Yuan Shao would become more vigilant and suspect whether Liu Bei had other ideas about him. After all, defeating the strong with the weak is only a minority, while defeating the weak with the strong is the majority. Yuan Shao's failure this time was just one of the majority and there was nothing special about it.

Although most of the records in books are cases of the weak defeating the strong, it is precisely because this is a rare case of the weak defeating the strong that it is worth recording.

Yuan Shao knew very well that he would most likely not die after his failure. As for whether Liu Bei would use him after entering Chang'an, it depended on whether Liu Bei could solve the problem of the aristocratic families.

If the problem can be solved, Liu Bei will most likely use Yuan Shao. If the problem cannot be solved, Liu Bei will still use Yuan Shao. After all, Yuan Shao's reputation among the aristocratic families is still good, and it is also a good choice to use him to check and balance the power of the aristocratic families.

However, in the final analysis, Yuan Shao's future ultimately depends on what Liu Bei thinks, so Yuan Shao, who has already failed, wants to ask Liu Bei for a promise to his followers.

No matter what Yuan Shao's future would be, Liu Bei could not implicate Ju Shou, Tian Feng, Shen Pei and others because of him.

Of course, Liu Bei's promise will only have a binding effect on Liu Bei if Ju Shou, Tian Feng and others do not do anything that endangers Liu Bei's interests.

However, Yuan Shao was still confident that he could convince his civil and military officials. After all, under the heavy pressure of Liu Bei in this life, he had not done anything that would endanger his own aura as a monarch.

As for the chasm between Liu and Yuan, the deaths of Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Ju Yi -

On the battlefield, swords have no eyes.

Yuan Shao was a loser. What else could he say besides this?

As for why Yuan Shao was still in the mood to plan a way out for his followers? Of course, it was because Yuan Shao was a good lord, otherwise why would Yuan Shao ask Liu Bei for a promise?

Regardless of whether others believed it or not, Yuan Shao himself believed it, and his civil and military officials also believed it, as did Liu Bei, Chen Xi and others.

What if you don’t believe it?

"Uh, this..." Liu Bei was a little stuck. He really didn't expect Yuan Shao to ask such a question in such an occasion, and so impatiently. It had only been less than an hour since he was defeated, but he already wanted to know the outcome of his punishment.

Not knowing how to answer, Liu Bei subconsciously looked at Chen Xi. This was the time for Chen Xi to take action. After all, Chen Xi and the others must have discussed how to deal with Yuan Shao after his defeat. Now he just needed to give Yuan Shao a plan.

Chen Xi glanced at Cao Cao in the corner, then said to Yuan Shao with a smile: "Maybe you can communicate with Cao Gong, I believe he can give you the answer you want."

"Cao Mengde?" Yuan Shao followed Chen Xi's line of sight and saw Cao Cao hiding in the corner. The two of them smiled awkwardly when their eyes met, and cursed Chen Xi in their hearts. What on earth was this guy thinking? He actually wanted them to form a defeat exchange group.

PS Sun Ce: Okay, you two formed the defeat communication group and didn’t even include me, do you look down on me?
After seeing Cao Cao, although Yuan Shao was very embarrassed, when he thought of the treatment Cao Cao received under Liu Bei, he became interested again. He heard that Cao Cao had retained several legions under Liu Bei, and that all of Cao Cao's original civil and military officials, except for those who had clearly stated that they had left Cao Cao, were still under Cao Cao's command.

In other words, as long as Liu Bei can be satisfied, Yuan Shao can retain part of the legion organization and the original list of civil and military officials.

Although it is not known why Liu Bei allowed them to retain part of the legion's organization, the important thing now is to satisfy Liu Bei and make Liu Bei agree to retain part of the legion's organization under his command.

"Okay, Yuan Benchu, let's talk about the communication between you and Cao Mengde after we return to Fenggao. Now you should go and see Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Ju Yi. They are probably awake now." Chen Xi changed his previous attitude towards Yuan Shao.

Before Yuan Shao had time to think about Chen Xi's change in attitude, he was stunned by the sudden surprise.

Yuan Shao grabbed Chen Xi and asked her with a feeling of wanting to cry, "What you just said is true, right? Is it true?"

Chen Xi looked at Yuan Shao who was holding him, and with a flick of his Qi, he directly flicked Yuan Shao's claws away. Then he said to the stunned Yuan Shao, "Do I really need to joke with you, Yuan Benchu, about this kind of thing?"

Chen Xi turned his head and shouted to the soldiers next to him: "Someone come and take him to the wounded camp." Yuan Shao stared blankly at Chen Xi who was shouting mercilessly. Then, he was carried by Ju Shou, Tian Feng and others to follow the soldiers who were leading the way. Chen Xi's action was definitely to drive them away. As the losers, it was not suitable for them to stay here any longer.

Shen Pei looked at Chen Xi's back in some surprise, and then asked Yuan Shao who was looking straight at Chen Xi, "My lord, what are you doing?" Did Chen Xi do something to Yuan Shao just now?

Yuan Shao came back to his senses and asked Ju Shou and Tian Feng to let him go. He took a deep breath and said, "Chen Zichuan is a general with internal energy leaving his body."

"Ah?" Everyone looked at Yuan Shao in a daze. Did Yuan Shao know what he was talking about?

"When I grabbed Chen Zichuan just now, he gave me a feeling similar to Jun Yi." Yuan Shao said with a serious expression. What kind of people are the civil and military officials under Liu Bei? There are even military officials with awakened spiritual talents and the ability to leave their bodies.

"This..." Ju Shou, Tian Feng and others looked at each other in surprise. In addition to being a spiritual master, Chen Xi was also a martial arts general with internal energy leaving his body?
Isn't it said that spiritual talent and internal energy cannot coexist? Why does Chen Xi's special case exist?
After careful consideration, Yuan Shao decided to go to the wounded camp to check on Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Ju Yi first. After all, there would be opportunities to seek knowledge in this area in the future.

Arriving at the wounded camp, Yuan Shao saw Yan Liang and Wen Chou pinned to the bed by several medical soldiers. The two guys were twisting their bodies constantly, trying to break free from their restraints, shouting things like "let me go, I want to save my lord".

Unfortunately, although Guan Yu lifted the seal on the divine will of Yan Liang and Wen Chou after the war, allowing their will to revive, he did not lift the seal on the other two.

Guan Yu's secret technique of sealing is connected to the will of the army. As long as Yan Liang and Wen Chou are unable to break through the blockade of the will of the 200,000-strong army, then unless Guan Yu takes the initiative to lift the seal, Yan Liang and Wen Chou can only exert the strength of their condensed internal energy at best. After all, the secret technique of sealing used by Guan Yu was developed by Yang Ji specifically for generals with internal energy out of body or above.

As everyone knows, none of the secret techniques that Yang Ji uses are simple. For example, the secret technique he is using to suppress the strong not only has the effect of suppressing the internal energy of ordinary secret techniques, it can even suppress the essence of physical fitness that is extremely difficult to seal.

Not only the internal energy and quality, but even the channel through which the internal energy leaves the body and connects the inner and outer world can be temporarily closed, allowing the person who is sealed to enjoy the same treatment as Brother Tiao.

However, because Guan Yu knew the strength of Yan Liang and Wen Chou, he gave Yan Liang and Wen Chou several more secret techniques to ensure that they would not do anything to harm the medical soldiers in the wounded camp after waking up.

As for the effect, it was just as Yuan Shao and others saw now. A few medical soldiers were able to hold down the mad Yan Liang and Wen Chou. Then, the medical soldiers who held down Yan Liang and Wen Chou gave them a severe beating in front of Yuan Shao, which made Yan Liang and Wen Chou calm down temporarily.

"..." Yuan Shao, who was standing outside the tent, was now in a dilemma. If he went in, what would he do with the medical soldiers? Yan Liang and Wen Chou were his favorites after all, but the medical soldiers were Liu Bei's men, and they had no choice but to treat Yan Liang and Wen Chou like this.

However, if he did not go in, Yuan Shao was afraid of hurting the feelings of Yan Liang and Wen Chou. After all, they did this for him.

"My lord, the main ward is over there." Guo Tu stepped forward and pointed to a tent next to him. Guo Tu was very good at guessing the master's intentions.

Originally, Guo Tu should not have been among the captives this time. After all, according to Yuan Shao's original arrangement, Guo Tu, Gao Rou and others should have stayed at home in Yecheng. But Guo Tu flattered Yuan Shao so well that Guo Tu became one of the military advisors and, by the way, a captive of Liu Bei.

Yuan Shao was silent for a moment, then said: "Yan Liang and Wen Chou have just woken up. The important thing for them to do is to listen to the doctor and have a good rest." As he spoke, Yuan Shao turned and walked into the tent where Ju Yi was, and Guo Tu followed closely in Yuan Shao's footsteps.

The few people who were originally following Yuan Shao paused for a moment. Shen Pei, Ju Shou and Tian Feng walked into Yan Liang and Wen Chou's wards, and the rest followed Yuan Shao's footsteps and walked into Ju Yi's ward.

With the appearance of Shen Pei, Ju Shou and Tian Feng, Yan Liang and Wen Chou would surely feel Yuan Shao's care and concern for them. They would also surely understand Yuan Shao's arrangement to see Ju Yi first.

The next morning, Liu Bei and Chen Xi summoned a group of civil and military officials in the central military tent. Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others were not there. This was a meeting that only Liu Bei's direct senior officials could attend.

"Okay, everyone is here, Zichuan, just say whatever you want to say." After Liu Bei counted the number of people, he said to Chen Xi.

"Wait a minute, Zichuan, are you sure you want to tell them here instead of returning to Fenggao and gathering more people first?" Yang Ji raised his hand to express his objection.

"It's no use telling me this, you have to tell them." Chen Xi rolled his eyes. If it weren't for Li You, Jia Xu and others instigating him, he wouldn't want to explain to them the truth about the world under the sky here.

As soon as Chen Xi said this, the people in the tent immediately focused their attention on Yang Ji, as if they would kill him with their eyes if Yang Ji dared to say another word.

"I have no objection." Yang Ji decisively raised his hands in surrender. If it were only Li You, Jia Xu, Fan Qin, Jian Yong, and Sun Qian, Yang Ji would not give them any face. But who made Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei mixed in?

After seeing that Yang Ji had stopped talking, everyone looked at Chen Xi again with satisfaction. They had been longing for the truth of the world under the sky for a long time, and now they could finally get a glimpse of this truth.

"Zi Yu, project the world map." Chen Xi turned his head and said to Yang Ji very naturally. He did not hand-draw a world map as Yang Ji had imagined.

"Ah?" Yang Ji was stunned by Chen Xi's words. He didn't expect that he was involved in this.

"Ah what? Don't tell me you don't know what the world map looks like." Chen Xi said to Yang Ji unhappily.

"Don't you have a hand-drawn one? Why do you need me to project it? Besides, don't you also know the secret art of projection?" Yang Ji suspected that Chen Xi was just too lazy to do it himself, so he asked him to project the world map.

"How do you know I have a hand-drawn world map?" Chen Xi looked at Yang Ji in surprise. He remembered that except Chen Yun, no one else knew about the hand-drawn world map he had drawn.

"I guessed." Yang Ji said expressionlessly. Although Yang Ji did not hand-draw a world map, he made a globe.
