The Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms: The Evil God Arrives

Chapter 499 Yizhou Movement
"General, you should quickly inform Chen Hou and Li Shi and others of this important news!" Zhuge Liang sighed.

Yang Ji glanced at Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and Sima Yi, who were all serious, thought for a moment and said, "I forgot to tell you one thing. The current Xiongnu leader has a spiritual gift of foresight."

"..." Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and Sima Yi were already confused. Why would the Huns' Khan awaken his spiritual talent? And why was the spiritual talent awakened by the Huns' Khan of the predictive type?

The three of them did not suspect that Yang Ji was deceiving them. After all, no one would lie about the Northern Xiongnu... At most, they were like Yang Ji, who knew a lot of things but did not say them out for some reason. The current Xiongnu Khan was one of the reasons.

"Wait!" Zhuge Liang's spiritual talent suddenly gave him a thought-provoking feedback, "Have you already known what the Xiongnu Chanyu's spiritual talent is?"

"It seems that your analysis of spiritual talents has reached a certain level. You have so quickly analyzed and solidified the effects of Kuai Yue's spiritual talents in yourself." Yang Ji was a little surprised at Zhuge Liang's progress. After all, Zhuge Liang and Kuai Yue had only known each other for a short time, but he was able to analyze the effects of Kuai Yue's spiritual talents and almost solidified this effect into his own passive ability.

"It seems so." Zhuge Liang saw the result from Yang Ji's reaction. As for what Yang Ji said about the progress of the development of his spiritual talent, it was not a very important matter.

However, in Zhuge Liang's eyes, it was not a very important matter, but in the eyes of Sima Yi and Pang Tong, it was a very terrifying thing. Just look at their expressions now.

Both of them had expressions of fear on their faces. They originally thought that the gap between themselves and Zhuge Liang was relatively small, but they did not expect that the effect of Kuai Yue's spiritual talent that Zhuge Liang had solidified in himself would make them truly realize how big the gap between themselves and Zhuge Liang was.

You know, Zhuge Liang now still devotes some of his energy to the military field, but even so, Zhuge Liang is still keeping up with their progress in all aspects.

In fact, if we only talk about the part they are best at, Zhuge Liang cannot compare with them, but the gap is not very big. At least he can see their backs.

However, don't forget that Zhuge Liang took the comprehensive and precise approach. It was obvious that everything he knew except internal affairs was only first-rate, not top-notch. But Zhuge Liang was able to beat them. There was no way around it. Zhuge Liang's overall strength was much stronger than theirs.

Even Sima Yi, who was equally knowledgeable and sophisticated, could only compete with Zhuge Liang in military affairs. In other aspects, he was most likely fully covered by Zhuge Liang.

Pang Tong glanced at Sima Yi with a gloating look. Facing the increasingly perverted Zhuge Liang, he himself had no idea. After all, he mainly relied on military strategies and tactics. As long as Zhuge Liang could not surpass him in this aspect, he would be able to occupy a place among Zhuge Liang's opponents.

But Sima Yi was different. He and Zhuge Liang both took the path of being broad and profound. Although their focus was different, they were both fellow travelers on the same path, so it was inevitable that they would be compared.

No matter how good Sima Yi's mentality was, he couldn't stand people comparing him with Zhuge Liang from time to time, especially after Zhuge Liang said, "A melancholy young man whose brain and body are not in sync", he didn't want to be compared with Zhuge Liang even more.

Zhuge Liang didn't notice Sima Yi's distorted expression, but continued to ask Yang Ji: "Since you have all determined the nature of the Xiongnu Chanyu's spiritual talent, how do you plan to deal with this matter?"

Zhuge Liang did not ask Yang Ji why he did not tell them about the spiritual talent of the Xiongnu Chanyu. After all, the existence of the Xiongnu Chanyu's spiritual talent had already eliminated the possibility of this matter spreading on a large scale.

As long as the Northern Xiongnu Khan does not know that they know his spiritual talent, they can turn around and take advantage of his spiritual talent that can predict the future.

"Everything is the same as before." Yang Ji shrugged. The most frightening thing about some things is that they are killed on first sight, but now that that first sight kill is gone, it's probably just like this.

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Liang was silent for a moment and then nodded. He now understood what Yang Ji and the others were thinking, but he still had a question.

"Then why do you tell us about the spiritual talent of the Northern Xiongnu Khan at this time?" Aren't they afraid that the Northern Xiongnu Khan will find out through his spiritual talent that they already know about his spiritual talent?
"Because he has used up his prediction times this year?" Yang Ji's mouth curled up. This year he had created many scenes for Hu Yanchu that required the use of spiritual talents to detect the future.

"Ah?" Zhuge Liang blinked, not reacting to what Yang Ji said for a moment.

"Oh~" Only a dozen seconds later, Zhuge Liang realized what Yang Ji was saying. He said that mental talents of a predictive nature have limitations, so how could they be open around the clock?

"What are the limitations of the spiritual talent of the Northern Xiongnu Khan?" Pang Tong asked curiously. It was the first time he encountered a spiritual talent with the nature of foresight, and it was a spiritual talent awakened by the Xiongnu people on the grassland.

"Three times a year, I can predict the details of a small event in the future, or the general direction of a big event." Yang Ji stretched out three fingers.

"Three times a year?" Sima Yi's heart moved, and he remembered a person his grandfather mentioned when he introduced them to the talented people of aristocratic families - Xun Shuang.

"Then, when will our army march north?" Pang Tong asked about the thing that he was most concerned about now. War was his professional field.

Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi, who were still thinking, immediately looked at Yang Ji. They both wanted to know the answer to this question. As for the Northern Huns, which Han soldier would not want to exchange military merit for the Northern Huns?

"I don't know. Anyway, we have to resolve the issues in Chang'an before we can march north." Yang Ji shook his head to indicate that he was not very clear either.

"What about Chang'an's affairs?" Zhuge Liang and the other two looked at each other and saw caution, seriousness and thorniness in each other's eyes. The affairs of Chang'an were not easy to handle as they involved the question of who was the emperor.

Zhuge Liang hesitated for a moment, but finally asked Yang Ji: "What does Lord Xuande think?"

"Lord Xuande has no interest in that position, so it is likely that someone will be chosen from the royal family." Yang Ji said calmly.

"Lord Xuande, he should be the one with the legal legitimacy, right?" Sima Yi said with a frown. To him, no matter which member of the royal family came to the throne, it would not be as appropriate for Liu Bei to take the throne himself.

After all, only when Liu Bei stood at the highest position could their talents be brought into full play. If it were someone else, they might not necessarily bring out their full strength. It would be good enough to be able to exert their strength normally, and don't ask for extraordinary performance.

Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. A minister who is too capable can easily be feared by the emperor.

And how does that sentence go? "I know you have never thought of rebelling, but you have the ability to rebel, and this is your original sin."

But it was different when it came to Liu Bei. After all, Liu Bei had long proved his ability. He was not afraid of rebellion under his command. He even often strengthened the power of his civil and military officials.

It can only be said that Liu Bei's ability to identify people was really amazing. It is estimated that after those middle and low-level officers heard that it was a rebellion against Liu Bei, they directly killed the planner.

"Yes, Lord Xuande does have that legal status, but if Lord Xuande doesn't want to, can we still force him to put on more clothes?" Yang Ji rolled his eyes.

Do you really think that Zhao Kuangyin himself didn't have that idea? If he really didn't have that idea, he could just throw away the yellow robe. After all, he was a military leader. Would other military leaders cause trouble for him because of this?
Then after the drama of three refusal and three declines was over, it was time for the heroes to fight for supremacy. If Zhao Kuangyin had chosen this path, no one would say that his Song dynasty was not legitimate.

"Lord Xuande wants to be the regent who acts as the emperor?" Sima Yi immediately put forward a guess. After all, he had followed Liu Bei for such a long time, so how could he not know Liu Bei's character.

"No, he doesn't even want to be the regent who acts as the emperor." Yang Ji said expressionlessly. There must have been something wrong with Chen Xi's education of Liu Bei.

"Then, what does Lord Xuande mean by this?" Pang Tong asked curiously. He didn't believe that Liu Bei would really not want this position. Just because he himself didn't want to sit on it didn't mean he would give up this position.

After all, so many people are willing to follow Liu Bei, isn't it just for that little bit of benefit? Although some people are purely for their own ideals, ideals must also be supported by real interests, so Liu Bei would never give up that position.

"Lord Xuande is not without heirs." Yang Ji still had a blank expression on his face. Liu Bei only said that he did not want to succeed to the throne, but he did not say that he would not let his son ascend the throne.

"Adou..." Zhuge Liang thought of the little guy who caught his eye. If it was Liu Chan, it seemed like it might not be a bad idea.

Sima Yi and Pang Tong looked as if they didn't know what else to do. After all, Liu Bei did not seize the throne. He simply put his own son in the candidate position. Although everyone knew that when Liu Chan was put into the candidate seat, the outcome of the battle for the throne had already been locked.

"Can I ask, which clan member did Lord Xuande choose?" Sima Yi suddenly asked with narrowed eyes. It was agreed at the beginning that he would support Liu Bei from the dark side, and Sima Yi felt that now the time had come.

Yang Ji glanced at Sima Yi who seemed to want to do something. "It's someone no one expected, but someone who can satisfy all parties. Before the result comes out, you should stop asking about this matter."

After hearing this, Sima Yi fell silent. It seemed that his oath to secretly protect Liu Bei could not be fulfilled for the time being.

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong no longer asked Yang Ji about the details. After all, Yang Ji had clearly told them not to inquire about this matter. If they still inquired, there was no telling what kind of ghost story they would encounter.

Seeing that the three of them were silent, Yang Ji said unhappily, "Okay, if you have anything else to say, just tell me now. Once you're done, go back and lead the troops to Jiaozhou to see what's going on."

"As for Jiaozhou, there is no need to mobilize a large army to attack it, right?" Pang Tong said hurriedly. He really didn't want to go to that broken place, Jiaozhou. As a native of Jingzhou, he knew too well what kind of place Jiaozhou was.

Moreover, even if the Governor of Jiaozhou had any ideas about the separatist region, it would be a question of how many troops he could muster. Probably, as long as Liu Bei wrote a proclamation, the Governor of Jiaozhou would surrender his land and seal.

"Sure, then you guys stay here and help me handle the government affairs of the southern states. I'm just looking for people to help me." Yang Ji said thoughtfully. He almost forgot that these people's ability to govern was also good, especially Zhuge Liang.

Without waiting for Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and Pang Tong to speak, Yang Ji continued, "Well, although the governor of Jiaozhou is likely ready to surrender to Lord Xuande, we can't just not send any troops over."

Yang Ji calculated the strength of his troops and said, "Let Gan Ning lead the East China Sea Fleet to Jiaozhou Bay."

Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and Pang Tong were frozen in place. They had only one feeling now. They should have directly agreed to Yang Ji's decision to lead the troops to Jiaozhou. At their age now, how could they have no desire for the battlefield?

However, now that Yang Ji has decided to let the three of them stay in Xiangyang to assist him in handling government affairs in several southern states and counties, the three of them have no choice but to stay in Xiangyang. After all, Yang Ji is their current superior.

"Okay, I guess you all know where Xiangyang City's Government Affairs Office is. You can deal with the government officials inside by yourselves. I won't take you around to recognize people." Yang Ji said to the three people.

"Do you have anything to deal with next?" Zhuge Liang sensed something very keenly and asked Yang Ji directly.

"Oh, after the battle situation in Yanzhou spreads, there should be movement in Yizhou as well. I need to keep an eye on that side next." Yang Ji said casually.

"Yizhou?" Zhuge Liang raised his eyebrows. For some reason, he always felt that he should visit Chengdu, Yizhou.

"What does the Governor of Yizhou want to do now, and what can he do?" Pang Tong frowned. Because Xiangyang was quite close to Yizhou, Pang Tong was relatively familiar with the situation in Yizhou. He didn't believe that a man like Liu Zhang would dare to do anything big.

"He wants to attack Hanzhong and attack Zhang Lu." Yang Ji said this with an unknown expression, "Then he sent a letter to Lord Xuande, saying that he wanted me to help."
