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

Chapter 529 Liu Bei: I will take responsibility for this matter.

"Has the communication channel in Yecheng been set up?" Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi in surprise. He remembered that when he went to Luoyang, even the secret stakes needed for the communication channel had not yet been produced.

As far as Liu Bei knew, ordinary craftsmen could not manufacture the secret piles needed to set up the large-scale communication Xuanxiang, especially the various etched circuits on the secret piles, which were not something that ordinary craftsmen could etch out.

Most of these secret piles used for communication with Xuanxiang can only be made by master craftsmen, that is, they are rubbed by hand, and even the energy circuits on them can only be etched by Yang Ji.

It's not that Huang Yueying, Zheng Hun and other master craftsmen who have awakened spiritual talents are not incapable of etching, but that their specializations are in mechanics and power, and their etching level cannot meet the etching requirements of the communication secret pile.

Among the many master craftsmen of the Han Dynasty today, Yang Ji is probably the only one who is proficient in rune etching. After all, those secret stakes used to set up communication channels are treasures with some spirituality, and the technology required is really not something that an ordinary craftsman can handle.

Therefore, Liu Bei was surprised at the completion of the Yecheng Communication Xuanxiang. After all, Yang Ji was building a road in Yizhou, and Yang Ji was indeed relatively idle on the construction site, but not so idle, at least not to the extent that he could etch the secret pile.

In an environment like a road construction site where there are minor problems from time to time, there is basically no opportunity for Yang Ji to etch the energy circuit of the secret pile.

Even for the small communication node in Xiangyang, it took Yang Ji half a month to manually make the necessary secret stakes, Xuanxiang energy flow circuits and corresponding supporting facilities. There was no other way. At that time in Xiangyang, Yang Ji could not find any skilled craftsmen to help, so he had to do it himself.

"Yes, the large-scale communication Xuanxiang in Yecheng has been set up." Chen Xi nodded. He knew what Liu Bei wanted to ask.

"Have you asked Zi Yu to help make the secret pile?" Liu Bei asked. As the only master craftsman who can complete the etching of the secret pile for communication, Yang Ji is an indispensable person for setting up the communication Xuanxiang.

"He was building roads in Yizhou, so how could he have the time to make secret piles?" Chen Xi shook his head. "It was the one from Kong Ming's family and Duke Wen of Zheng who simplified the circuit design of the secret pile etching and optimized the related production process, allowing those master craftsmen to complete the production of secret piles."

Liu Bei thought about it for a while before he remembered who the one from Zhuge Liang's family was referring to. He said with an incredible look, "The Huang family girl can do this?"

"Lord Xuande, you underestimate Huang Yueying. Not only is she capable of this, but she has also awakened a quasi-spiritual talent." Chen Xi said with a smile. Huang Yueying's quasi-spiritual talent was only awakened not long ago, otherwise the simplification of the etching circuit of the communication secret pile and the optimization of the production process would not have been completed so quickly.

"Hiss." Liu Bei took a breath of cold air. "I remember this child is about the same age as Kong Ming. Has he already awakened his spiritual talent?"

"Well, she has a great talent in this area." Chen Xi said with some emotion. Huang Yueying's talent in mechanical creation is more than just good. Being able to be compared with people like Zheng Hun and Ma Jun at her current age can no longer be described as just having good talent.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I'm going to send a letter to Zi Yu." Chen Xi said as he walked out of the Government Affairs Hall and headed to the area where Communication Xuan Xiang was. By the way, Communication Xuan Xiang's terminal was also here in the Government Affairs Hall.

"Has the signal connection problem of Communication Xuanxiang not been solved yet?" Liu Bei asked Guo Jia curiously. Communication Xuanxiang was also under Guo Jia's management.

"It has been solved. However, Yizhou has not yet been included in the coverage of Zichuan's spiritual talent. Therefore, if we want to connect to the micro terminal node carried by Ziyu, Zichuan needs to connect the signal himself." Guo Jia said with a headache.

When Liu Bei heard this, he was silent for a while. After all, when Yang Ji designed the communication Xuanxiang, he relied on Chen Xi's spiritual talent that could cover all the people under his rule.

While waiting for Yang Ji's arrival, Yuan Shao and others who were watching became numb. They found that they could not seem to understand what Liu Bei and others were saying.

Although they have been trying to adapt to things under Liu Bei's rule after surrendering to him, they have not entered the system after all. Therefore, they are unaware of many pieces of information that only those in the system are qualified to know.

If the Northern Huns were not involved this time, Yuan Shao and his men might have to wait until Liu Bei officially took over the Guanzhong region before the relevant information control would be relaxed.

"Youruo, can you understand what they are saying?" Shen Pei sent a message to Xun Chen. After all, someone from the Xun family had infiltrated the high-level circles of Liu Bei's faction, so Xun Chen knew some things.

"Literally, they can transmit news from Yecheng to Yizhou in a very short time." Xun Chen replied calmly. Although he could learn some internal news from Xun Yue, even Xun Yue would not explain it too clearly. After all, the communication facility like Xuanxiang is still in the experimental stage, and there is not much to say.

Shen Pei fell silent, and everyone under Yuan Shao fell silent. It was some kind of creature that could transmit the news from Yecheng to Yizhou in a very short time.

And judging from what Liu Bei said just now, this extremely short period of time is likely to be no more than an hour, or even half an hour.

"Alas." Yuan Shao sighed lightly. He was quite gloating when he saw the farce happening here just now. Although he was upset to be defeated by such a group of people, looking at Liu Bei's painful expression made him feel relaxed.

As a result... after hearing the news just revealed by Liu Bei and others, Yuan Shao's good mood immediately disappeared.

Just as Yuan Shao and others were secretly thinking about the skills displayed by Liu Bei and others, Yang Ji's figure suddenly appeared in the Government Affairs Hall.

"Lord Xuande, do you have something to talk to me about?" Yang Ji's voice sounded in the Government Affairs Hall with a hint of confusion.

"Zi Yu." Liu Bei turned his head to look at the gradually gathering figures, and asked curiously, "How could your phantom clone manifest here?"

The others also focused their eyes on the slightly transparent Yang Ji. They certainly understood what Liu Bei was asking. The Government Affairs Hall was a key area covered by clouds, and yet Yang Ji's phantom body appeared here so vividly. It would be strange if there was no other operation involved.

"So, what I appear here is just a projection that can be manifested with the help of Zichuan's talent, not a complete phantom." Yang Ji looked at his transparent body.

"Don't listen to him." Chen Xi returned to the main hall and said unhappily, "He is just too lazy to project his illusions, and he can't project his illusions directly to the Government Affairs Hall, so he chooses to appear in projection mode." Yang Ji said nothing. What Chen Xi said was true. He really couldn't project his illusions directly to the Government Affairs Hall. After all, this is the gathering place of the will of all people. How could it be possible for a strange creation like Yang Ji's illusion to enter without permission?

Liu Bei was silent for a moment, not wanting to talk about these things anymore, so he asked Yang Ji directly: "Zi Yu, what do you think about the early demise of the Northern Huns?"

"My opinion?" Yang Ji glanced at Liu Bei and said, "Bring all the famous civil and military officials in the country to the northern border, let them unite in the northern border, completely scatter the ashes of the Northern Xiongnu, and then enter Guanzhong from Bingzhou and directly take Chang'an."

Yang Ji was very straightforward. He wanted Liu Bei to take advantage of the victory and overthrow Liu Xie's throne. If Liu Bei still did not want to ascend the throne by that time, he would create a new throne for the eldest princess and change the reign title to Yuan Feng.

"This..." Liu Bei was stunned. What did Yang Ji mean by this? It would be fine if he could recruit some civil officials and generals to go north to destroy the Xiongnu, but why did he suddenly talk about marching into Guanzhong?

Yuan Shao and others' pupils shrank, realizing that they shouldn't be staying here. It seemed that it made sense that Cao Cao would rather go to Yanzhou to govern the place than show up here.

"I think Zi Yu's proposal is very good. We can bring some of the domestic civil and military officials to the northern border, and work together to completely destroy the ashes of the Northern Huns." Li You quite agreed with Yang Ji's proposal, including the second half of the march into Guanzhong and directly take Chang'an.

However, he did not say it explicitly. After all, Liu Bei did not want to force him too much. After all, he was the emperor who had officially ascended the throne of the Han Dynasty. Liu Bei just wanted Liu Xie to abdicate voluntarily, and then he would support the eldest princess Liu Tong to ascend the throne.

Since Liu Bei really thought so, Li You would of course arrange it according to Liu Bei's wishes. Of course, the premise is that Liu Xie chooses to abdicate, whether he abdicates voluntarily or passively, as long as he abdicates, it will be fine.

As for the eldest princess ruling the country, Li You had no objection. Li You did not think there was anything wrong with the eldest princess ruling the country. After all, the Queen Mother/Princess ruling the country was an indispensable part of the Han Dynasty.

"Okay, I agree to recruit civil and military officials, but please allow me to reconsider the matter of marching from Guanzhong after the great victory." Liu Bei sighed. He also knew that this was a good opportunity, but he really didn't want to go to that extent.

"Zi Yu, are you sure you won't participate in the battle in Northern Frontier?" Liu Bei asked about another matter. Although Yang Ji had already informed them, Liu Bei couldn't help but ask again.

Yang Ji shook his head and said, "You guys go ahead. Zijing, Wenru and I will stay here to look after the country."

This time, apart from Lü Bu of Bingzhou and Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, Liu Bei was the only vassal from the Central Plains who went north. Yizhou and Jiaozhou were too far apart. By the time they arrived in the northern border, Liu Bei had probably almost scattered the ashes of the Northern Huns.

Given the current situation in Youzhou and Bingzhou, it is almost inevitable that Liu Bei and his fellow princes will alone support the war in the northern border.

For Liu Bei now, it is not a difficult task to support the war in the northern border alone.

However, if Liu Bei were to support the battle in the northern border alone, he would have to pull most of his troops to the northern border, which would definitely cause the problem of troop shortages under his jurisdiction.

Although the noble families in the country have been subdued by them, there are always some guys who cannot see clearly and think that this is an opportunity. After all, Liu Bei had only taken over Jizhou and Jingzhou for less than three months, and Yuzhou and Yangzhou for less than a year.

Liu Bei took over these places so quickly that the local noble families had no time to react or feel the power Liu Bei held before they were taken over.

This also led to the fact that the aristocratic families outside the three states of Qing, Xu and Yan did not have a clear understanding of Liu Bei's strength. Therefore, when faced with the decrees issued by Fenggao, the implementation progress of the aristocratic families outside the three states was not very ideal.

For example, when it came to matters like sorting out land holdings and naturalizing hidden households, the aristocratic families outside the three states basically did not cooperate, and some even came into conflict with the officials who were in charge of the implementation.

You have to know that Li You was the person in charge of household registration under Liu Bei's rule, and household registration would inevitably involve land and so on. So those guys resisted sorting out the land and hiding their households to become naturalized residents, and even clashed with the officials who went down to carry out the task. This was Li You's fault.

If Li You had not been busy rebuilding Luoyang and planning two major projects in Chang'an recently, Li You would have led his troops down to force those guys to execute the order.

"You and Wenru, are you trying to sting the law?" Liu Bei looked at Yang Ji's projection with a strange expression. He knew that the two issues of sorting out the land of aristocratic families and naturalizing hidden households had not been implemented outside the three states.

He also knew that if those guys didn't move forward, Li You would definitely take action, but he didn't expect Yang Ji to get involved. You know, since Taishan, Yang Ji has rarely participated in politics.

As for Yang Ji's plan to take advantage of the opportunity of withdrawing troops to the north to conduct a sting operation to enforce the law, Liu Bei didn't care much about it. With Yang Ji there, he could just keep an eye on Li You to prevent Li You from making a mistake and causing those guys who resisted the law to disappear.

"Although they will not take this opportunity to rebel, they will definitely cause trouble. The laws we promulgated will destroy their foundation other than their family education." Yang Ji said solemnly.

"My lord, what Zi Yu said is exactly what I wanted to say. The two things of sorting out the land and releasing the hidden households must be completed. Otherwise, after the country is unified, Zi Chuan's policies and laws will not be implemented at all.

You also know what changes these policies and laws will bring to the people, please approve them, Lord Xuande." Li You stood up and saluted Liu Bei.

Liu Bei thought of the policies and decrees in Chen Xi's plan. He knew very well what kind of changes would be brought to the people of the Han Dynasty if those policies and decrees could really be implemented.

"Forget it, I approve of this matter. Anyone who wants to stop it or even sabotage it can come to me, Liu Xuande." Liu Bei still looked gentle, but he attracted everyone's attention.

"Lord Xuande is benevolent." A large group of people saluted Liu Bei. It was not surprising for them that Liu Bei would take the initiative to take on this matter.
