The Three Kingdoms: My Wife is a Great and Good Teacher

The man said again: "At present, although the prime minister has solved the crisis of Kong Jun, he still cannot reverse the downward trend. In the east, there are the coalition forces of Liu Zhaoqing, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, etc., in the west, there is the invasion of Ma Teng, and in the south, there are three generals such as Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and Lu Zhi stirring up trouble."

"The Prime Minister still needs power, but this 'power' is no longer an object or a beast."

"Even a fierce god won't be tempted by mortals like us every time, so the Prime Minister needs to make himself stronger."

"And the Prime Minister is not short of soldiers and food at the moment. Liangzhou Sili is so rich. Even if the Prime Minister is defeated this time, he will be able to return to the top soon."

"But, as I said, the Prime Minister is 'scarce'. Even if he returns to an army of 300,000, he will not be a match for the anti-Dong coalition."

After this was said, Dong Zhuo did not express his opinion. Instead, Li Ru frowned first and said, "Sima, what do you mean by this? Are you saying bad things about the Prime Minister?"

"I dare not." The man lowered his head respectfully.

"I just think that the Prime Minister is not as mediocre as He Jin's Ten Eunuchs. He should understand his own shortcomings."

"After this battle, the Prime Minister should understand that there is no shortage of soldiers, horses, and food. What is really lacking is... a great general."

"And he is a great general like Lu Bu and Hua Xiong."

"If the Prime Minister had more than 10 or 20 such generals around him, even if Liu Zhaoqing had all kinds of abilities, the Prime Minister would be able to deal with it calmly."

After saying this, he raised his head slightly and looked towards Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo remained silent, but in his heart he had to admit that this man was right.

She also knew that what she lacked was a talented person.

"Do you have a way to recruit generals?" Li Ru asked again.

"Or do you know a lot of talented people and can recommend them to the Prime Minister?"

The man shook his head: "Why do we need to raise funds?"

"Some of the recruited people also have rebellious hearts. Aren't there many people who have left the Prime Minister?" said the man.

"If we don't recruit, where will we get the dozen or twenty generals you mentioned?" Li Ru frowned.

"Of course, I will train them from my own trusted troops." said the man.

This made Li Ru even more confused: "Sima Yi, don't you know how difficult it is for a great man to advance? If it weren't for the extraordinary luck, it would be difficult for him to advance one level in his lifetime."

"Your Excellency also said 'generally'." Sima Yi said as he took out a small black-glazed bottle from his pocket.

"This is a treasure bestowed by the evil spirit who killed Kong Jun's army."

"It can satisfy the Prime Minister's wish to find a great general."

Dong Zhuo and Li Ru both looked at the bottle in Sima Yi's hand. Feeling the strange smell emanating from it, Dong Zhuo became calmer at this time.

"Why should I believe you? And how can it do...what you say?"

"I have no reason to deceive the Prime Minister." Sima Yi said.

"As for its principle, it is actually very simple. The earth spirits that ordinary Tianzi people feel are auspicious beasts of heaven and earth. So... is there a possibility that fierce beasts that are more powerful than ordinary auspicious beasts can also become earth spirits?"

Before Sima Yi finished speaking, Dong Zhuo's eyes were slightly stunned.

Li Ru was also shocked and quickly said to Sima Yi: "Do you know what you are talking about?"

"Of course I know." Sima Yi said calmly.

"It is not uncommon to use ferocious beasts as earth spirits, but without exception, they all failed in the end because heaven and earth will not allow such beings to appear. But it's different now." He looked at the black glazed bottle in his hand.

"The destiny of heaven is broken, the great way is in disorder, and with only a little encouragement, a new spirit of heaven and earth can be born into the world without the recognition of those noble creatures."

His eyes lit up slightly with a hint of blue, and even in his calm tone, a hint of excitement could be concealed.

Li Ru looked at the bottle in Sima Yi's hand and said, "You mean, with what you have in your hand, you can make a dozen or twenty soldiers under the prime minister become outstanding people?"

If this is true, then... it's a bit too terrifying.

Sima Yi shook his head: "Ten or twenty is just a casual remark of mine."

"If all conditions are met perfectly, it is not impossible for hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of people to become outstanding talents."

"Ten thousand people..." Li Ru opened his mouth, his expression full of shock.

If this is true, then they really could have easily wiped out China.

Li Ru had already imagined in his mind a scene where they would directly form an army composed entirely of outstanding people, and then be invincible and win battle after battle.

Sima Yi was not surprised to see Li Ru's expression, he knew that no one would refuse such temptation.

The superiors like Li Ru and Dong Zhuo must understand the significance of this method.

Then, given Dong Zhuo's personality, he should behave similarly to Li Ru.

The next step is to explain to them the specific implementation methods.

When Sima Yi turned his gaze to Dong Zhuo and was about to continue speaking, he found that Dong Zhuo's expression had not changed at all.

After looking at the black-glazed bottle in his hand for a while, Dong Zhuo said, "Leave what you have in your hand, and I will observe it for a while."

"Come here, take the gentleman to rest, treat him well, and don't make any mistakes."

"Here!"

After Sima Yi was led away by Dong Zhuo's men, Li Ru immediately took the black-glazed bottle and excitedly presented it to Dong Zhuo.

When Dong Zhuo reached out and touched it, he felt a chill, followed by a slight shake, and a dull roar of a beast could be heard faintly from it.

This is indeed an item that contains "power".

There is a high probability that Sima Yi did not lie to her.

As long as she agreed to cooperate with Sima Yi and adopted this method, even if the expected results were not achieved in the end, all she would lose would be a group of ordinary soldiers.

"Congratulations, Prime Minister. With this gift, the world can be pacified!" Li Ru happily congratulated Dong Zhuo.

However, after a moment of silence, Dong Zhuo said to him: "Seal this thing and keep Sima Yi under strict guard. If there is any unusual movement, do not inform me. Inform General Lu and others and execute him immediately."

"Ah?" Li Ru was surprised again.

"Xiangguo..."

Dong Zhuo put the black glazed bottle on the table beside him, and she said, "This man is treacherous and cunning, it is impossible for him to give us benefits for no reason."

"Moreover, he can lead the evil spirit to destroy Kong Zhu's army, and he also has the method to obtain ten thousand people with the title of Tianzi Renjie. Why doesn't he fight for the world as a king himself?"

"This person must have a purpose that we don't know about."

Dong Zhuo said, and after thinking for a moment, he continued: "As for this thing, I have no doubt about its function and effect."

“But think about it, if a great man uses a fierce beast as a land spirit, what will this person look like in the end?”

“Perhaps you don’t know, but when I was in Liangzhou, I once saw a hero who used ferocious beasts as land spirits when I was fighting against foreign tribes.” Dong Zhuo’s eyes were slightly cold.

"Although he did not do this of his own accord and was driven by the beast, he...can no longer be considered a 'human'."

"This is also the reason why outstanding people seek auspicious animals as their spirits instead of evil animals."

"I can give up my elite soldiers and generals, and I can also use the dragon son as bait. As long as I can achieve the goal of stabilizing the court and unifying the country, these are not things that cannot be given up."

"However, if I am surrounded by these 'outstanding people' who may fall into chaos at any time, how can I be sure that they are under my control?"

Li Ru was thinking, and Dong Zhuo's words made him slowly calm down. After thinking about it, he also broke out in a cold sweat.

"If... that's the case, then this is tantamount to digging your own grave."

Dong Zhuo said calmly: "After going through so much hardship, he ended up being someone else's bride. I think this can only be the reason why he took the initiative to help me."

"As for what this person's purpose is, I must find out. In the meantime, I will just use his power wisely."

Li Ru immediately bowed his head: "The Prime Minister is wise."

"The Luoyang granary was burned so easily that night. There must be something fishy going on. Please have someone continue to investigate."

Li Ru nodded: "Yes."

"Now that the crisis is over, we must be prepared." Dong Zhuo continued, taking one last glance at the black-glazed bottle before he stood up and walked outside.

"Prepare the carriage and follow me to Fengxian's residence. I have something to ask her."

-

The news of Dong Zhuo’s army’s “great victory in Chang’an” spread throughout Sili within a day.

Yecheng, Jizhou, which was only separated from Sili by a river, naturally received the information first.

"Disaster from the evil god?" Xun Yu frowned and murmured as he looked at the news in the battle report.

"The evil spirit that invaded Luoyang was just driven away, how could it come back so quickly?"

According to the descriptions in history books or legends, even if a very evil creature does not die after being injured, it needs to accumulate strength to recover before it can make a comeback.

It takes 500 years for a vicious god like Qiongqi to cause chaos twice. It has only been less than five months, so how could he come again?

The answer is also very simple.

"It's not the same evil spirit." Liu Zhaoqing said.

He pondered for a moment and said, "But what we should focus on is not the evil spirit itself, but the weirdness behind this matter."

"Why did the evil spirit come and destroy Kong Jun's army?"

"Why would the evil spirit help Dong Zhuo?"

Xun Yu nodded slightly. These were indeed extremely crucial, but he couldn't figure out why just thinking about it.

"We need more information. We can't tell anything from this battle report alone." Xun Yu said.

"We must send spies to investigate as soon as possible. If this evil spirit is controlled by Dong Zhuo..."

"It shouldn't be possible. Even divine beasts can't defeat such ferocious creatures, so how could they obey mortals?" Liu Zhaoqing said after thinking for a while.

"Maybe she's using something as a 'trade'. Now we have to make sure she doesn't come back to Hulao Pass again."

"I will immediately call Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Zhang Jiao to discuss countermeasures. Please ask Wen Ruo to write a letter to Yuan Shao and ask him to find out the situation as much as possible."

Xun Yu also nodded immediately.

As soon as Xun Yu left, Liu Zhaoqing immediately asked Yinglong for help.

If we were to ask who in Ye City knew the evil spirit best, it would definitely not be counselors like Xun Yu, Guo Jia, and Ju Su, nor would it be someone like Liu Zhaoqing who had directly fought against the evil spirit's incarnation.

That is definitely the mythical beast Yinglong.

Fortunately, after Yinglong recovered for a period of time, he had some strength to respond to Liu Zhaoqing's questions.

"Helping mortals and embezzling ninety thousand?" Yinglong pondered.

"If I'm not mistaken, this description should be 'Taotie'."

"It is different from other evil gods. Taotie has no sex or god. Its sole purpose is to devour. Everything it sees and passes by goes into its mouth."

"Then how could Dong Zhuo allow it to devour Kong Jun's 90,000 troops?" Liu Zhaoqing wondered.

"The taste of mortals is not delicious to the evil spirits." Yinglong replied.

"So maybe Taotie was deceived, or maybe the one that devoured it was not the original Taotie, but someone conspired with the evil god to obtain a clone of Taotie, and then used it to destroy the mortal army."

"This kind of practice is not unprecedented."

Who has such great ability to obtain a clone of the evil god?

As Liu Zhaoqing was thinking, a figure appeared in his mind. It was the figure he saw when he was in Luoyang and was swept up to the sky by the evil god Hun Dun and looked at the ground.

"Is it...him?"

Soon, Liu Zhaoqing gathered together with Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Zhang Jiao and others.

Faced with this shocking news, Cao Cao fell into serious thought.

Everyone present was smart, and they all knew without Liu Zhaoqing's further explanation that the key to this matter was not the destruction of Kong Jun, but the "evil spirit that was driven."

When everyone had finished thinking, Liu Zhaoqing began to ask for their opinions.

Liu Bei felt that this incident meant that Dong Zhuo might have gained new power and should be treated with caution. Cao Cao also nodded and suggested to find out the intelligence first.

"Fengxiao has something to say?" Liu Zhaoqing noticed Guo Jia at this time.

"I think... we should speed up our attack." Guo Jia said.

"Boost?"

Guo Jia nodded: "It seems shocking that the evil spirit killed Kong Zhu, and it is actually true, but what if we think about it from another angle?"

Change angle?
