Chapter 6633 Are you dealing with the Kushans?

Chapter 6633 Are you dealing with the Kushans?
It would be a pity for Han Xin not to participate in a war of this scale. Moreover, in Han Xin's opinion, Liu Bei and Chen Xi would definitely go to such a war, and the country's destiny would be shifted because of it. If they did not go with them, they might just lie dead around the jade seal and could not even leave the palace.

In this case, it would be better to take them both with him. There is no other meaning, but it can prevent trouble before it happens. The two brothers have hundreds of thousands of troops at their disposal. Not to mention that the basic quality of the army has reached such a heaven-defying level due to Chen Xi's efforts. Even if they are ordinary civilians, with hundreds of thousands of them, they can fight against all kinds of monsters.

How safe it is, Chen Zichuan, think about it, as the most important core figure of the country, you must ensure your personal safety on the battlefield. To be honest, where could be safer than having two military gods commanding hundreds of thousands of troops?

However, after thinking about it for a while, Chen Xi rejected Han Xin's proposal first. It cannot be said that he had not thought about bringing Han Xin and Bai Qi along, but there are some things he has not figured out yet. And the most important point is that if he brings Bai Qi and Han Xin, then he will probably have to bring Liu Tong along.

Then the question arises, does bringing Liu Tong, the regent princess, to the front line buff the Han Dynasty or the Kushan Empire?

To be honest, it was not that Chen Xi thought too much, but that the Kushans were too abnormal in some aspects. The princess was too important to the Kushans. With the princess in their army, Chen Xi had no way of predicting what kind of incredible actions the Kushans could take.

That's right, compared to other aspects, the Kushans can still be evaluated with normal human thinking, but when it comes to the princess, many of the Kushans' behaviors really cannot be analyzed with normal human thinking. If Liu Tong goes to the front line, some Northern Gui soldiers on the opposite side may come directly to surrender, or it is possible that they will completely violate normal human plans and carry out a large-scale rebellious act.

To be honest, for the sake of the princess, the Kushans have proven their amazing ability to connect with each other between the lower and middle classes. Whether it was Barak's time or Zhou Yu's time, the upper class's ability to suppress the middle and lower classes is almost zero. After all, as long as they don't care about life or death at all, with their abilities, unless it happens in person, you can't stop them even if you want to.

"Indeed, but that's good too, matters concerning the living should be handled by the living." Bai Qi was very open-minded. In essence, they were just insurance. When the younger generation could solve the problem by themselves, it was best to do nothing and just watch them perform quietly.

"No, Caesar can appear in the Parthian battlefield, and I also want to appear in the decisive battle. Wu'an Jun is actually dead, so he doesn't have to go, but I'm not dead. I have been sealed from the beginning. Wu'an Jun is actually dead. The current Wu'an Jun is just a shadow of the past, and I am the real body!" Han Xin decisively shook off Bai Qi, creating a distinction between the two sides without any bottom line.

Bai Qi glared at Han Xin and said, "What the hell are you talking about? We are all dead, and we just survived in some special way. Why can you go? I want to go too."

How could a Four Saints-level leader be willing to miss such an event as three million troops attacking the enemy country? Bai Qi was also very interested in this and wanted to participate, but he felt embarrassed considering that this was a trial prepared for the younger generation and the merit was to be divided among them.

But Han Xin has been exposed, so what's the point of pretending? I want to go too, super loud!

"There is still some time left, so we will evaluate it then. It is not certain now. In fact, I haven't figured it out yet. Will Kong Ming take my place in the rear, or will he follow Lord Xuande to the front line on my behalf?" Chen Xi waved his hand, then spoke with a thoughtful look on his face.

If Zhuge Liang goes to the front line, then Chen Xi cannot go to the front line. If Chen Xi goes to the front line, Zhuge Liang cannot go to the front line. It is roughly like this. Only one of them can go.

On the contrary, commanding troops is not a problem for Zhuge Liang and Chen Xi. Although Chen Xi always says that he is basically a waste when it comes to marching and fighting, with Chen Xi's prestige he can suppress an army of hundreds of thousands. And if he and Liu Bei sit in the central army together, Chen Xi can even perform some classic operations.

The same is true for Zhuge Liang. Moreover, Zhuge Liang himself is the commander of a large army. Although he seldom shows up in public, to be honest, Zhuge Liang is not necessarily inferior to Guan Yu, who is always on the front line. Even if people have doubts about him because of his age and experience, it won't take long to calm people's hearts. After all, it is worth being assured that his ability has reached this level.

"When the time comes, you should come with me to the Ganges River, and Kong Ming should stay in Chang'an." Liu Bei made the decision on behalf of Chen Xi. Before Chen Xi could say anything, Liu Bei gave the reason, "Everything has its beginnings, but few can have their ends. It's a rare opportunity like this, so Zichuan should make sure that it ends well."

Chen Xi did not argue after hearing this, but nodded. Indeed, it would be better to get this matter to a good start and a good end. If so, Kong Ming would have to bear more responsibilities in the next two years. Even when materials were mobilized in the twelfth and thirteenth years of Yuanfeng, there were top bosses who had been tested by the times in areas from Hanzhong to Chengdu, from Chengdu to Indochina, and from Indochina to the Ganges. However, for Zhuge Liang, who was in charge of the center, the pressure would increase dramatically.

Speaking of it, according to Chen Xi's plan, in the final battle, Lu Su was in charge of the center, Li You was in charge of Chengdu, and they served as the core node to dispatch troops to Central and South China, while Zhong Yao, as the node in Central and South China, dispatched troops to the Ganges. Finally, Zhuge Liang received the materials transported from the rear at the Ganges and dispatched them, and also led the army.

In this case, although it would be a heavy burden for Zhuge Liang, he would be able to gain enough merit after the Battle of the Ganges, and it would be difficult for anyone to suppress Zhuge Liang in terms of seniority afterwards.

After taking up Chen Xi's current position, it would be difficult for anyone to raise any objections. After all, Chen Xi's current position is Shangshu Pushe, but in fact he has been performing the duties of a prime minister. The reason he was not promoted to prime minister was mainly because Liu Bei was still one of the Three Dukes and Grand Marshal.

After the Kushan Empire was pacified, Liu Bei and Chen Xi withdrew, and without the suppression of official ranks, the official positions that should have been released long ago could be appointed.

In this way, Zhuge Liang, who has enough qualifications, will not have the current problem whether he is promoted to prime minister or something else. However, there have been problems with Lu Su's link. Now it is equivalent to Zhuge Liang sitting in the center, while Lu Su is on the front line. In this way, after pacifying the Kushan Empire, Zhuge Liang's promotion may encounter some twists and turns. Chen Xi thought that Liu Bei could also see it, but Liu Bei wanted to take him, so let him go.

Although Chen Xi was more or less aware that Liu Bei took him to the Ganges not only for the sake of a good start but also for the sake of a good end, he also wanted Zhuge Liang to slowly take over Chen Xi's position, it seemed that Chen Xi's actions in recent years made Liu Bei realize that Chen Xi wanted to run away to some extent.

Compared to the normal map, where Liu Bei can find Chen Xi just by looking for him, in this situation, if Chen Xi really wants to run away, Liu Bei may not be able to find Chen Xi.

Although Liu Bei knew that Chen Xi was not the kind of person who would just walk away and was still very responsible for the Han Dynasty, Chen Xi had done too much to distance himself in recent years, which made Liu Bei inevitably a little worried. In addition, Liu Bei really did not want to have a prime minister who was only 30 years old.

Even if the prime minister was Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei was reluctant to accept it.

For Liu Bei, the only young prime minister he could accept was Chen Xi. Since Chen Xi had given up, others should wait until they were forty years old before considering the position of prime minister. Liu Bei trusted Zhuge Liang's ability, a man of true genius. But even if Chen Xi didn't care, Liu Bei would not let anyone become prime minister at this age.

"The above are what I can confirm at the moment. As long as we move forward steadily, these things can be achieved in the twelfth year of Yuanfeng." Chen Xi said confidently. This is not empty talk, but something that can actually be done.

"These things alone are enough to annihilate the Kushans." Bai Qi was silent for a while before speaking, "No need for anything fancy, just follow your plan and deploy these manpower and resources to the Kushans in a proper way."

"It's about the same as I estimated. What I'm going to talk about next are the possible influencing factors." Chen Xi nodded and said, "The above are the forces that can be confirmed, and the following are possible accidents and the forces that we have in our hands but have not yet been confirmed."

"Accidents, there have been too many accidents in recent years." Bai Qi had a depressed expression on his face. There were no other ways. The weather had changed twice, and he personally participated in one of them.

"Almost all the accidents in recent years came from Rome. After all, compared to the war between us and the Kushan Empire, the Roman Empire has more spare energy to stir up trouble around the world. In addition, there are some remnants in our world, and the power of the Roman Empire can easily produce some abnormal changes." Chen Xi said, pointing to Northern Europe, Africa, South America and other places generated on the map.

"Perennis is worthy of being a demon master. Compared to other things, the inheritance of wisdom is the most dangerous." Han Xin's face was full of admiration. The story about the demon master Perennis has now spread all over the world, and even guys of Han Xin's level would call him that.

"Yes, it has been confirmed that there are many large creatures with wisdom in the ocean. However, since these large creatures do not form a real social group, they are dangerous, but for us who are already prepared, it is nothing." Chen Xi said calmly, "It's just that this matter needs to be resolved later."

"Ah, can this matter be resolved?" Bai Qi looked at Chen Xi in surprise. He originally thought that the matter had to be left alone at this point, but it turned out that it could still be resolved.

"It's not a big problem, it can still be solved." Chen Xi said expressionlessly, "But not now. We have to wait until we get rid of the Kushans and then we have time to solve it. Now, I can only say that I have an idea, but I need time to solve it."

"Is that so?" Bai Qi lowered his head and thought. He roughly understood what kind of solution Chen Xi was talking about. But if that was the case, would there really not be the kind of monster that could transform into a human in mythology? If that was the case, wouldn't the problem be even bigger?
"In fact, up to now, the only world disasters that have a great impact on us are the Lord of All Spirits and the Heavenly Change." Chen Xi said solemnly, "Let's put the Lord of All Spirits aside. This disaster is more caused by ourselves. It can be regarded as an aftermath. Because of the three empires, the power of the Blazing Sky Ring has reached an incredible level, causing a lot of problems. In fact, this impact will continue until the year after next, which is also the reason why strategic armaments are banned."

"In that case, what if the Kushans use their strategic weapons at the last moment and perish together with us?" Liu Bei frowned and looked at Chen Xi and asked.

Liu Bei had seen the Seraphic Ring as a strategic weapon of the Roman Empire. It was truly powerful and could destroy anything it wanted. Liu Bei had also seen the Han Dynasty's gravity distortion device. It was also an outrageous thing that could do anything it wanted. Under such an attack, the army was actually of little significance.

"The key to activating the Kushan strategic armament lies in the small world." Chen Xi said calmly. In fact, the three empires currently have sufficient understanding of the strategic armaments of the other two empires, especially the Seraphic Ring of the Roman Empire. The other two empires are very clear about it.

“The Nine-Layered Sky Palace can clear this thing, and the core of the Kushan strategic armament is distortion, which is the tampering of the underlying rules of life. The source of this power actually comes from Brahma, which is fundamentally different from ours and Rome’s strategic armament.” The composition of the Kushan strategic armament has appeared on the secret mirror that Chen Xi mobilized.

"It shouldn't matter what the source is. What's important is whether the other party can use this thing in their own country. If it can fully unleash its power on their own land and we can't stop it, then it makes no difference even if the source is Vasudeva I, let alone Brahma." Liu Tong frowned. She had also seen the recorded broadcast of the Seraphim Ring's attack. Under that kind of attack, the army is meaningless.

"It is impossible to use it." Chen Xi released the assessment of his researchers. During the period of truce, Chen Xi had also been constantly asking people to conduct assessments. Without this certainty, the subsequent war would have to end in mutual destruction, and then drag Rome down with him before he died.

"The Kushans are in too deep a trap. They have been severely eroded by the power of Brahma. Once this thing is deployed in the Kushans, we will directly win." Chen Xi sighed and said, "Brahma's dream will directly guide the Kushans who have been eroded by this power to transform into the image in the dream."

"Wait, are the gods in Kushan mythology also born in this way?" Liu Bei asked quickly as if he remembered something.

"Yes, so once this thing is activated, there will be basically no living people in Kushan. Millions of people will completely absorb the power of this thing and become ghosts and gods walking on the earth." Chen Xi nodded and said, "Brahma's dream is the dream of the creator."

“Then we are doomed, right? If the other party loses and fights us, then tens of millions of gods will appear directly on the earth. Even if they are weak gods, it will be difficult for us to deal with tens of millions of them.” Liu Tong looked at Chen Xi and asked in confusion.

"Because this thing is ultimately just a dream of Brahma. If it's a dream, there will be a time to wake up, right?" Bai Qi had been an immortal god for a period of time, so he knew very well what it would be like when he woke up from a dream. Mars, immortals, and gods were all nothing but illusions, and they could not even leave a trace in the mortal world.

Thinking more deeply, Bai Qi even suspected that Chen Xi was hoping that the Kushans would use this on the surface to completely clean out the Brahmins, so that Chen Xi's hands would not be dirty. Then he could write about it in history books and completely solve the problem. Moreover, with such a big hidden danger, other people would naturally stay away from the Brahmin system.

"But what if Brahma wakes up?" Liu Tong frowned and said, "According to what you said, Brahma is at least a powerful person with the Immortal Gold Nature and the Primordial Pill. If he wakes up, how should we deal with it? This disaster will not be as small as before."

"He can't wake up. This era cannot support a Jindan master. In fact, the reason why Brahma can lie there motionless is that he relies on the gold nature of the Jindan to survive the long years." Chen Xi explained very seriously, "The foundation of this era that binds the essence of heaven and earth has not completely collapsed, and it is simply unable to support a master of the Immortal Jindan realm."

"Maybe it's not just this reason. Another point is that Zichuan should have confirmed the identities of certain immortals and tried to use the dream butterfly in Brahma's dream." Bai Qi looked at Chen Xi and asked.

If Brahma could personally take action, Zhuang Zhou's dream of the butterfly might not be effective, but if Brahma could not take action, then Zhuang Zhou's dream of the butterfly would be invincible in the dream.

It's not the kind of invincibility with limitations, but the kind of invincibility with complete 360 ​​degrees and no blind spots.

In other words, as long as the Kushans activated Brahma's dream on their own soil and prepared to self-destruct with the Han Dynasty, and the entire kingdom of God descended on the earth, the Han Dynasty would have won completely, and Chen Xi would not even need to think about how to deal with the very troublesome issue of the Brahmins later.

"Yes, the Dream Butterfly can be used in the Brahma Dream used by the Kushans. Yes, it has been verified and is invincible." Chen Xi nodded, "But there is a gap in the power level. The Dream Butterfly is more like a mechanism, while the Kushan thing is pure numerical value."

"Has it been verified?" Liu Bei was stunned, while Chen Xi nodded. "It was just that one day I suddenly remembered the story of Zhuang Zhou's dream, and then I thought I could give it a try, and then I discovered this mechanism. Although it sounds outrageous, in theory any dream will be destroyed if it encounters this mechanism."

"Is that so? Then what is the cornerstone that binds the essence of heaven and earth?" Liu Bei did not ask any further questions after Chen Xi answered, but instead asked another question.

"Tianzhou Divine Kingdom is one of them, and Guixu should be one of them as well." Chen Xi said seriously, "According to the logic of the Three-born-all-things, there should be another one, but I'm not sure."

"If Guixu can be blown up, then where is the source and destination?" Bai Qi raised his hand and asked, "Jiuquan, Huangquan, and Youdu all ultimately point to Guixu. If Guixu is the cornerstone that binds the essence of heaven and earth, then it will explode sooner or later."

All bondages are meant to be broken, all seals are meant to be broken, and similarly all covenants are meant to be torn apart.

So when Bai Qi heard that Guixu was the cornerstone that bound the essence of heaven and earth, the first thing he thought about was what to do if this thing exploded? This is the source and destination of all things in the world.

"The underworld." Chen Xi said very seriously.

"What is that?" Bai Qi was stunned and looked at Chen Xi and asked.

Han Xin was stunned when he heard this, and then pressed his temple, "So, the joke I heard is true, right? Although I just listened to it as a joke back then, if this joke is true, it seems completely reasonable."

"Sure enough, there was no underworld in Wu Anjun's time." Chen Xi sighed and said, "Then my estimate seems to be correct."

"What's wrong with the underworld?" Liu Tong looked at Chen Xi strangely and asked.

"The underworld is the place that is responsible for returning all rivers to their source after returning to the underworld." Chen Xi explained it briefly to Liu Tong. At this time, Si Niang, who had been eating snacks like a squirrel, stopped eating and looked at Chen Xi quietly.

“Isn’t it always written like this in myths?” Liu Tong didn’t realize how big the problem was, and just asked the question based on the knowledge in his mind.

"The underworld was built by someone!" Chen Xi said to Han Xin. Although there was a question in his tone, he was already 80% sure when he said this.

"Yes, the underworld was built by someone." Han Xin nodded. "We used to think this was a joke, but now that Chen Zichuan said this, I believe it a little. What the First Emperor built was not a mausoleum, but the underworld!"

Bai Qi stared at Han Xin in disbelief, wondering how on earth he could do this.

"This story has been circulating in our time, but I didn't pay much attention to it. When I woke up after four hundred years, the concept of the underworld had already spread widely. It has even replaced such old concepts as Youdu, Jiuquan, Huangquan, and Guixu." Han Xin scratched his head and said. Some things were too ordinary for him to even consider. Only when he was awakened did he realize that changes had taken place.

I don't know since when, the concepts of Youdu, Jiuquan, Huangquan and Yinjian all refer to the underworld, and even to some extent have been fully covered by the underworld.

"In the era of Wu'an Jun, there was no concept of the underworld." Chen Xi looked at Bai Qi and asked again. This would involve something very outrageous.

"Absolutely not. At that time, we usually talked about Youdu or Huangquan. There was no so-called underworld at all." Bai Qi said with a frown.

"That's fine. It seems that the story of the First Emperor building the underworld is not a joke." Chen Xi said expressionlessly, "Although it sounds far-fetched, it should be true according to the records."

"How is this possible?" Bai Qi muttered to himself.

"That's basically true. This can explain a lot of things, including how the concept of the underworld came into being, and when it replaced other references." Han Xin said with a complicated expression, "That guy could indeed do something like this."

The Han Dynasty did not have a very high evaluation of Qin Shihuang, but there was no slander against his heroism and tyranny, it was just that the way he was described was not very positive.

But as a strong man who can barely be considered to be from the same era, he still has his own understanding of Ying Zheng. The concept of the underworld only appeared in the Central Plains in the late Qin Dynasty and early Han Dynasty, and it was built. So who did it? It is basically worth discussing. It must be the First Emperor.

"So if Guixu explodes, someone will definitely survive." Chen Xi said seriously, "Of course this is just my speculation, maybe it won't happen. It depends on what you think."

What the hell, since the underworld was built by the First Emperor, then the idea that the underworld separates the living and the dead forever is just bullshit to the First Emperor.

"But we have already tried Guixu, and it is very solid. It will probably take all the strength of the Han Dynasty to break that cornerstone, so don't count on the next round of changes. As for the third cornerstone, according to the logic of Tianzhou Divine Kingdom and Guixu, the direction of the third cornerstone can actually be guessed, but I asked people to look for it, but they couldn't find it. Maybe I guessed wrong." Chen Xi said calmly, "But I don't plan to explode the second cornerstone in a short time, so I can't count on the third one."

"In this case, the only possible accident left is Rome. However, Rome suffered from the locust swarm, so there should be no movement in the past two years. As for the fun that the Han family and local princes can create, it is nothing at all for the imperial level." Chen Xi said calmly.

It is true that the Han family can also have a lot of fun, but the fun that the Han family has created is really nothing at the level of the empire. Whether it is the Bloodline Lock, the Evil God Fungus Blanket, or the Biological Energy Core, they are actually nothing to the empire. The reason why it is so serious is that the things that the Han Dynasty and Rome have created before have been buffed, which seems very serious.

This is actually not the ability of the Han family, but the ability of the three great empires.

With the ability of the Han family alone, it is already the limit for them to create some ancient gods of the underworld and some evil gods to destroy themselves. Being able to create something to fight an army is already an incredible situation.

"So the past few years have been the best time for us to deal with the Kushans. Although the accumulation of various aspects has not yet reached its peak for me, after the completion of the Southwest Passage, it is actually the best time. The subsequent enhancement of the army's strength is at most icing on the cake. If it can be enhanced, it is the best. If it cannot be enhanced, it will not have much impact. So I will not pursue the ultimate victory." Chen Xi looked at the information on the secret mirror and made his own summary.

“It turns out there are some things that can be strengthened.” Bai Qi’s brows were twisted into a ball. He didn’t know whether to say that Chen Xi was cautious or twisted. Aren’t you overestimating the Kushans with your strength? I suspect you want to rush to the underworld!
First of all, I didn't write the underworld randomly. The concept of the underworld was probably created by the millions of people who built the mausoleum for the First Emperor. It then covered the concepts of Youdu and Jiuquan from the Shang and Zhou dynasties and became the orthodoxy. Therefore, if you write about feudal mythology, Qin Shihuang is really a hurdle that you can't overcome. By the way, I'm not sure whether it's the Immortal Qin or not, but the Dark Qin is basically a confirmed fact. Vote quickly, and I'll give you the whole Dark Qin extra chapter when I have time.
