Silver Fox of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2 Prophecy
Deng Hong sat cross-legged on the mat under the porch and pondered seriously. He might not have listened to anything else, but Shen Chen was a genius of the Shen family. He could speak at the age of one and could read a thousand characters at the age of three. He has already read it all at the age of one.

Later, when Deng Hong heard that his cousin's daughter was a genius, it was very different, so he opened Deng's collection for him to browse.As a big family in Xinye, before fleeing, the Deng family had brought a lot of bamboo slips and books, which gradually became a family heritage.

This kind of book is the foundation of a clan, and outsiders are always forbidden to show it to them. Even if Shen Chen is a cousin and grandson, they are not allowed to open it because of their different surnames.

Only Shen Chen was able to enter the hall and read books, which shows that the elders of the Deng family also recognized his talent.

It's just that a child who is smart is smart, how could he be able to discern the major events in this world?
It is true that Cao Cao slaughtered Pengcheng last year, but most of the people were attached to Tao Qian at that time, and it is possible to mistake them for Tao Qian's tribe.

And even if Cao Cao is cruel and wants to kill people to vent his anger, he shouldn't vent his anger on the people.

The most important thing is that the hometown is hard to leave. The foundations of Deng and Shen's two families are all in Huangmenting and the surrounding countryside.

As the saying goes, people leave their hometowns and are humble. Before they knew whether Cao Cao would kill people, it was impossible for them to listen to the words of a young son, abandon countless family properties, and move south to other places.

Therefore, the few times before when Shen Chen came to him, Deng Hong refused with excuses. This time, Shen Chen obviously came prepared, and wanted to persuade him with stern words and open the old clan council.

"Let's talk about it first."

Deng Hong saw him look even more ugly this time, so he didn't refuse directly, but said: "I know you want to persuade everyone to move the clan south, but it's not easy to convince the clan elders, at least you have to convince me first."

With a serious face, Shen Chen sat upright and said, "Then I will talk to my sixth uncle about the general situation in this world!"

Deng Hong also became serious: "Please tell me."

At this time, he had already regarded Shen Chen, who looked like a little adult, as an adult who was treated equally.

"Let's talk about the root cause of the great man's demise!"

Shen Chenyu was not surprised and kept dying.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Deng Hong scolded: "Ah Chen, don't talk nonsense."

"Then let's talk about the reason for the Yellow Turban Rebellion."

Shen Chen's eyes were piercing and he said: "During the time of Emperor Huan and Lingdi, the powerful and powerful families occupied a lot of land, cultivated goods and wealth, regulated many fertile fields, and enslaved the poor. In a bad year, people would be devastated, people would eat each other, and the people's livelihood would be so difficult. This is called The root of Zhang Jiao's success!"

Here we talk about two reasons that led to the demise of the Western and Eastern Han Dynasties, one was land annexation, and the other was slavery.

Deng Hong was not a man of insight, so facing Shen Chen's words, he shook his head and said, "Zhang Jiao is nothing but a deceitful fool."

"Then how does Uncle explain that the power of the Yellow Turban can attract millions of people?"

Shen Chen asked back: "If the people everywhere were not impoverished, why did they follow Zhang Jiao to rebel? And what is the root cause of the people's poverty? Is it only because of natural disasters? No, this is a man-made disaster. Shi Dan once restricted the fields. The purpose of restricting slavery is to save the former Han, but until today, nothing has changed, it is just another time of the end of the former Han."

"Well"

Deng Hong was speechless, so he said: "Ah Chen, don't talk nonsense. Now that the court is still here, how can we talk about the end of the year?"

Shen Chen said earnestly: "Uncle, for the great cause of the family, you must listen to good advice. I think that Cao Cao has the ambition to be a hero, and Xuzhou is like a tiger lying on his side. He will come to ask for it. Does uncle think he is here to avenge his father? ? He knows that he can swallow Xuzhou with his strength, so in order to prevent others from getting it and threatening his flanks, he must kill every dog ​​and dog!"

Deng Hong shook his head and said: "Your words are convincing, but the people of Xuzhou are also the people of the imperial court, and the slaughter of the living people and the gods share the anger. How could the imperial court allow Cao Cao to act recklessly?"

Shen Chen said coldly: "The son of heaven is in Chang'an, controlled by Li Jue, Guo Si and other traitors, how can the court's laws control Cao Cao's head? What's more, in the matter of Pengcheng, did Cao Cao kill a few? Uncle sees the court's helplessness." ? Recognize the reality, now it is no longer the unified Han Dynasty, but a chaotic world with the collapse of the legal system!"

Deng Hong angrily reprimanded: "Ah Chen, it's better to say as little as possible about these outrageous things."

Shen Chen sighed: "Uncle still doesn't want to listen to me. In this way, if uncle doesn't believe me, I can prophesy two or three things. If the prophecy comes true, is uncle willing to hold a clan meeting?"

"If your prophecy is accurate, you should follow it."

Deng Hong fully agreed.

Shen Chen said earnestly: "First of all, Tao Gongzu knew that he was defeated by Cao Cao, so he must call for reinforcements. Yuan Shu is also a jackal, and Tao Gongzu would never look for him. Then looking around, the only way to go north to find Kong Beihai is the first prophecy. Rikong and Beihai will surely lead troops south to help, and perhaps Liu Bei, Prime Minister of Pingyuan."

"Oh? Why?"

Deng Hong was puzzled and said, "Why is Prime Minister Ping Yuan among them?"

Shen Chen said: "Uncle doesn't care about current affairs, but I know very well that major events in the world will inevitably affect me and other small people, so I wait on the road every day and ask the passers-by for news. That Kong Beihai was besieged by the Yellow Turban Guanhai last year, Please ask Liu Bei from Pingyuan County to relieve the siege, at this time Liu Shijun must be in Beihai."

"Oh."

Deng Hong nodded: "What about the second thing?"

Shen Chen said in a deep voice: "The second thing is that Cao Cao must first go south from Xiapi to attack the East China Sea, and will not directly kill Shan County from Pengcheng, so we still have a chance to escape with the whole family. If uncle believes me, you can Send Shanqi people to go south to Xiapi to inquire about news, if Xiapi is slaughtered, they can verify whether what I said is true."

"First south and then north?"

Although Deng Hong is not an outstanding talent, he also understands that marching and fighting have their own strategies.

It is puzzling that Shen Chen thought that Cao Cao would take down the Pi first without breaking the East China Sea.

Because everyone thought that since Cao Cao came here to avenge his father, it was impossible for him to go to other places, and he would only come to Shan County in the East China Sea to trouble Tao Qian.

Why did he feel that Cao Cao didn't come to Donghai, but went to Xiapi?

Shen Chen said: "That's right, the four generations and three princes of the Yuan family are famous all over the world. But the two Yuans are not compatible, but one south and one north are fighting each other. Cao Cao's north is allied with Yuan Shao, so his biggest enemy is not Tao Qian at all. It is Yuan Shu in Huainan. Runan is in dire straits. If Yuan Shu wants to grow, he must go north to occupy Xuzhou. Cao Cao does not have the strength to take Xuzhou down now, so a dilapidated Xuzhou is in his interest."

"."

Deng Hong didn't know what to say for a while. The information gap between the two sides created this mutual incomprehension phenomenon.

The remarks made by Shen Chen may not be regarded as a big deal in the eyes of future generations, because many people in the future generations will know that Cao Cao slaughtered Xuzhou by casually checking the Internet. He first broke Xiapi, slaughtered several cities in Xiapi, and then went north to attack However, Yancheng was forced to strike because of Lu Bu's surprise attack.

But in the eyes of people at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was already as unpredictable as a ghost, and ordinary people could not understand his meaning at all.

After all, what he said is equivalent to predicting how many years later a world war will happen in 2000. After hearing this, the world will think that it can only be described in two words - outrageous.

The problem is that Shen Chen's words seem to be well-founded, not like nonsense, making Deng Hong uncertain and hesitant.

Finally looking at Shen Chen's serious face, Deng Hong nodded and agreed: "Okay, it's up to you."
