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

Chapter 531 The world is shocked
"I can't understand, what does it mean?" Guo Jia asked curiously.

"It means exactly what it says. We have no way of putting ourselves into the mindset of the people there." Chen Xi didn't know how to explain the situation of the people in that land.

Seeing Guo Jia and the others still looking confused, Chen Xi sighed and said, "Forget it, I won't explain it. When you meet those people in person in the future, you will understand what I mean."

"Let's talk about these things later. Let's discuss the affairs of the Northern Huns now." Chen Xi didn't want to continue talking about the people on the South Asian subcontinent.

"Zichuan, Ziyu has already planned to stir up trouble in that place. How can we pretend that nothing happened?" Liu Bei didn't want to end the topic. After all, with their current strength, the final outcome of the Northern Huns had already been determined.

"Lord Xuande, it's not that I don't want to support Zi Yu, but I can't do it now." Chen Xi said helplessly. If he could, wouldn't he want to support Yang Ji? He really had no power.

"Moreover, Zi Yu doesn't necessarily need our support. At least, he doesn't need our support before he reveals his identity." Chen Xi's eyes flashed with a gleam.

When fighting guerrilla warfare, the most important thing is to integrate into the local environment and the local cultural environment, so that the enemy cannot find any trace of you.

And, gain support from local people.

Chen Xi didn’t know how Yang Ji would integrate into the local community, but Yang Ji’s method would definitely be to stir up the local people’s will to resist. Although he didn’t know how Yang Ji planned to stir up the local people’s will to resist - by the way, do the people in that place have the will to resist?

But since Yang Ji is so sure that he can establish a base there, it proves that Yang Ji has found a way to integrate into the local community and gain the support of local people.

"Even if Zi Yu doesn't need our support, we can't just not give him any support at all, right?" Liu Bei said with some embarrassment. Letting someone go deep behind enemy lines alone is not his style.

"If I really have to give it to him..." Chen Xi thought for a moment, "I can find someone who is well versed in Buddhism and send him to Zi Yu's phantom body. It should be helpful to him."

"Buddhism?" Liu Bei was a little confused. Why did he suddenly turn to Buddhism? Could Buddhism help Yang Ji establish a base in the local area?
"Yes, that's right. It's what you understand as Buddhism." Chen Xi's eyes sparkled. He seemed to have found a way for Yang Ji to integrate into the local community. After all, in the South Asian subcontinent during this period, monks who were proficient in Buddhism were still very popular.

"Okay, since you said so." Liu Bei nodded, then looked at Li You, "Wenru, go find out if there are any people in the Central Plains who are proficient in Buddhism, and then find a way to convince them and send them over there."

"Yes." While Li You lowered his head to accept the order, he also began to screen suitable candidates in his mind. Although Li You had a deep understanding of the aristocratic families in the Central Plains, whether there were any children from the aristocratic families who were proficient in Buddhism was not something Li You could know. After all, Buddhism was not within the scope of inheritance of the aristocratic families in the Central Plains.

[Well, let's go find Weishuo later. If Weishuo can't find such a person, then go find those old guys from the top families.] Li You searched in his mind, but couldn't find anyone who was proficient in Buddhism. After all, Buddhism was not widely spread in the Han Dynasty at that time, and was only spread by a few people.

However, the fact that Li You could not be found does not mean that Liu Yan could not be found. After all, Liu Yan was now almost the most famous celebrity in the Han Dynasty. Because Chen Xi attributed the achievement of papermaking to Liu Yan, and Liu Yan himself had ability in this area, almost all the scholars in the Han Dynasty believed that they were indeed indebted to Liu Yan.

So whenever Liu Yan expressed his desire to find someone, there would always be someone who could tell him where to find the person he was looking for, or even how to ask the expert to find him. Someone would help Liu Yan.

Moreover, even if Liu Yan cannot find the relevant person, Li You has a backup plan. After all, sometimes Liu Yan cannot find certain specific people, and there is nothing he can do about it.

Chen Xi looked at Liu Bei throwing the matter to Li You, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. He thought Liu Bei would do it himself, but he didn't expect that it would be Li You.

But it's normal to think about it. Now is a critical moment. The Northern Huns are about to move south. Liu Bei can't just ignore this matter and investigate where he can find a suitable candidate. After all, Chen Xi just said that even without their support, Yang Ji has a way to establish a base in the Wenjia area.

If this is the case, it means that the priority of this matter is not as high as that of the Northern Huns, although the matter of the Northern Huns is the highest priority for the Han Dynasty.

"Zichuan, you should have guessed what Zi Yu wants to do. Can you tell us?" Liu Bei said with some hope. He really wanted to know what Yang Ji planned to do in Kushan.

"Well... most likely he stole a high-level god or Buddha visualization, then pretended to be a Brahmin and gathered a group of local people to seize control of the local area." Chen Xi thought for a while and added: "It is also possible that he created a god or Buddha visualization himself."

"Ah?" Question marks popped up over Liu Bei, Li You and others' heads.

"You mean, we only need to seize a high-level visualization of gods and Buddhas to seize local ruling power?" Guo Jia said in disbelief.

"Don't disbelieve it. Zi Yu's method has a high success rate." Chen Xi sneered. In the environment of Nangui, anyone who has received education in the Central Plains would definitely be considered to be from the two high castes, Brahmin or Kshatriya.

In addition, there is a visualization of gods and Buddhas that only the Brahmins and Kshatriyas of high castes can learn. As long as it is not exposed by people of the same high castes, ordinary people from the remaining castes will never dare to break this disguise, even if someone sees through it.

"Do you think the caste system over there is a joke on you?" There was a fierceness in Chen Xi's eyes. After defeating the Kushan Empire, the caste system must be completely eradicated.

"Okay, let's leave this topic here for now and continue with the topic about the Northern Huns." Chen Xi forcibly ended Nan Gui's topic.

Liu Bei and others looked at each other in bewilderment. It was the first time they saw Chen Xi have such emotion towards something. It seemed that there was indeed something in that place that made Chen Xi disgusted.

……

When Liu Bei and others were discussing heading north, the news that the Northern Huns had reappeared in the northern border of the Han Dynasty also spread to all parts of the Han Dynasty.

Upon receiving the news, Liu Xie was filled with anger. He picked up the Zhongxing Sword and was about to lead the unfinished Southern Army northward. Unfortunately, he was stopped by Yang Biao and others. After all, the Han Dynasty had not yet fallen, so it was impossible to let the emperor go to the battlefield. What's more, there were people who were more suitable for going to the battlefield than Liu Xie.

Liu Xie, holding the Zhongxing Sword, glared at Dong Cheng, Yang Biao and others who had stopped him, and said coldly: "The Northern Xiongnu are blocking the pass, why are you stopping me?"

"Your Majesty, the matter of the Northern Xiongnu blocking the pass will be taken care of by the Grand Commandant." Dong Cheng said respectfully, "The Grand Commandant has strong soldiers and horses, and will surely bring victory to Your Majesty.

I also ask Your Majesty to issue an order to order the Taiwei troops to march out of the northern border to conquer the Xiongnu."

Yang Biao and others just watched Dong Cheng's actions. Dong Cheng was really bold. He even dared to mention Liu Bei in front of Liu Xie. You know, Liu Xie was extremely wary of Liu Bei.

Although, at this time, the only person in the Han Dynasty who was qualified and capable of leading the army to conquer the Northern Xiongnu was Liu Bei, but this was not the reason why Dong Cheng mentioned Liu Bei at this time. In fact, Liu Xie had already reacted when he walked out of the palace gate with his sword. Even if he really walked out of the palace gate, even if he led the Southern Army out of Chang'an, what would happen?

How many soldiers and horses in the world are willing to follow him north instead of Liu Bei?

But, as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, would he not send troops north because of this?

No, as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, he was also a member of the reserve force when the Huns invaded.

However, what Liu Xie did not expect was that he would be stopped by Dong Cheng and his gang when he passed through the second palace gate.

How did these people know that he was going to leave the palace?
"The Huns are blocking the pass, and you and I are also reserves. Why don't you contact the generals to gather troops instead of coming to me to ask for instructions?" Liu Xie said coldly. He didn't care that Dong Cheng only mentioned Liu Bei.

After all, even he had to admit that if it were Liu Bei, he would definitely be able to beat back the Northern Huns who were blocking the pass.

Liu Xie was very smart, so he knew one thing very well: after Liu Bei's triumphant return this time, it would probably be time for him to abdicate. The achievement of annihilating the Northern Huns was so great that Liu Xie didn't even know what reward to give after the victory.

Although the annihilation of the Northern Huns took place when he was still in power and he could share the credit for this achievement, it would not make his situation much better, but would make it even more dangerous.

However, no matter how big the conflict between him and Liu Bei was, it was a conflict between the Liu clan. Even if he really abdicated, the throne of the Han emperor would not fall into the hands of others.

However, what Liu Xie did not expect was that Dong Cheng, Yang Biao and others actually received the news that he was leaving the palace at the first moment. What does this mean?
"Without your majesty's order, we dare not mobilize troops from all over the place." Dong Cheng said with his head down. He felt the pressure from Liu Xie.

"Hmph!" Liu Xie snorted coldly. It was just that he didn't dare, not that he couldn't.

"Order the Grand Commandant to be fully responsible for the Northern Xiongnu's blockade of the pass. If anyone dares to hinder the soldiers at the front, their entire clan will be executed!
"The imperial edict will be issued immediately!" Liu Xie said in a cold voice. He glanced around and found no signs of Zhong Ji, Fu Wan and others at the scene, only Yang Biao and others.

Liu Xie frowned, then turned around and returned to the palace. Since Zhong Ji and others were not there, he had no way to walk out of the palace gate.

"Farewell, Your Majesty..." Yang Biao, Dong Cheng and others saluted.

When Liu Xie returned to the palace, Zhong Ji, Fu Wan and others hurriedly arrived, especially Fu Wan, who brought the unfinished Southern Army with him, as if he was ready to protect Liu Xie.

"Situ Yang, where is His Majesty?" Fu Wan, wearing armor, asked coldly.

"Your Majesty has returned to the palace. Before returning to the palace, His Majesty ordered the Grand Marshal Liu Xuande to govern the Northern Huns and block the pass." Yang Biao said calmly, as if he didn't see the Southern Army behind Fu Wan.

When Fu Wan heard that Liu Xie had returned to the palace, the expression on his face relaxed a little. However, when he heard that Liu Xie had ordered Liu Bei, the governor of the Northern Huns, to block the pass, he frowned.

After thinking about it, it seemed that Liu Xie's approach was the most correct, so Fu Wan's brows relaxed again.

Fu Wan glanced around and found Dong Cheng. Fu Wan frowned again. This guy Dong Cheng actually appeared here at the same time as Yang Biao. Fu Wan immediately felt dissatisfied.

However, Fu Wan did not lose his temper on the spot. Instead, he bowed to several people and took Zhong Ji and others into the palace. He needed to communicate with Liu Xie.

When Zhong Ji passed by Dong Cheng, he paused for a moment, but said nothing. He just followed Fu Wan into the palace. A rift had already appeared between them and Dong Cheng.

Why did Dong Cheng appear with Yang Biao?
……

After the news of the Northern Huns' blockade of the pass broke out, the northern families expressed disbelief at this, wondering how the Northern Huns had come back to life. Then they subconsciously gathered their troops, prepared their own dry food, and planned to march north to fight the Huns.

However, before they left their homes, orders came from Yecheng: the major northern families could bring their own troops north, but they needed to obey the orders of the commanders of the various armies. If they could not comply with this, they should stay at home and not go anywhere.

What else can the major families in the north do? Of course they have to obey orders, otherwise they can't even leave the house.

Of course, after some of the noble families realized that Liu Bei had transferred most of the troops, leaving the rear empty, they became more concerned. However, when they thought that Liu Bei was now going to fight the Huns, they put their concerns aside.

As expected, Liu Xie's edict arrived soon after. If anyone dared to cause trouble at this time, their entire family would be exterminated.

……

"Report, news from Youzhou, Xianbei, Wuhuan, Wuwan, Jie, Dingling and other Hu people are moving south to Youzhou on a large scale, Youzhou is in emergency!" The messenger rushed into the central army tent.

Jia Xu stood up, took the document from the messenger, read it quickly, and frowned. "Unlike what we expected, the Northern Xiongnu did not choose to break through Bingzhou, but chose Youzhou, and now they have broken through Guangning."

"With Gongsun Bogui and the military soul Bai Ma in Youzhou, how could Guangning (Zhangjiakou) be conquered?" Guo Jia frowned.

"Buyu, the Three Han, Goguryeo, Cenmok and other foreign tribes invaded Liaodong at the same time, while Wuhuan and Xianbei took advantage of Gongsun Bogui's expedition to Liaodong to quickly break through Guangning."

"Guangning is not far from the commander of the Wuhuan Guard. It is estimated that Wuhuan made efforts behind the scenes, which is why Guangning was breached in such a short time." Jia Xu quickly came up with the correct answer based on the information in the battle report.

"Wuhuan..." Guo Jia's expression was vicious. They were indeed ungrateful. It was a waste of Liu Yu's initial leniency towards them.

"Then should we go to Youzhou now?" Yuan Shao asked with a frown.
