Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 348 Ba She Ji

The Fourth-Handed Emperor feels pitiful just thinking about it... Can this really still be used?

Do you want Bai Tu to take the lead and kneel down to restore the prestige of the Han Dynasty?

Of course not!
Under Lu Su's persuasion, the staff quickly reached a consensus.

Just because they decided not to interfere with Xu Du's matter, it doesn't mean that today's overtime work is over. Even... for a long time in the future, they will not even think about taking a bath. They can just find time to wash themselves in the evening!
Once Xu You changes, the strategic layout of the General's Mansion must also respond. Just in the past two days, battle reports from Jingzhou have also come in one after another.

On the Jiangxia battlefield, after Sun Ce beheaded Liu Qi and quickly wiped out the Jingzhou navy in Jiangxia County, coordination began to take place in various places. In addition, strategic reversals occurred on both the north and south fronts!
Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiu and Sun Ce met up and marched from the north, along the west side of Yunmengze, and southward toward Jiangling.

After Liu Pan withdrew to Jiangling and pulled the defense line to Nanjun, Chen Gong and Zhang Liao also sharpened their swords and prepared to cross the Yangtze River and attack Jiangling from the south!
However, there was some "small situation" on the road - in Changsha County, signs of activities of the snake repairing department that had "disappeared" for a long time were discovered.

Although the other party tried their best to burrow into the forest all the way, Gao Shun's trapped camp was not a vegetarian. They tracked all the way in the dense forest and cooperated with the support of the army outside. The snake repairing department was like wild rabbits burrowing around, and in the end they were still in Ba, Changsha County. Qiu area, forcing the opponent into an alley!

Wang Kong's "big conspiracy" was also revealed, and it was so "big" that Chen Gong was speechless for a moment...

At the beginning, Chen Gong forced the opponent to die in Baqiu. When there was no way to escape, Wangkong looked complacent, with the words "I will kill you all later" written on his face. , began to perform sacrifices in Baqiu.

Baqiu is also known as Baling in later generations, but there is no Yueyang Tower yet, and there is no White Rabbit Effect in history. The most recent big event here should be Zhou Yu's death here - whether he was angry to death or not, in short This was the "border" during the initial conflict between Liu Bei and Sun Quan.

The reason why it is called "Baqiu" is because according to legend, this place was transformed into the bones of Ba Snake after his death. Ba Snake... is also known as "Xiu Snake"!
Legend has it that during the reign of Emperor Yao, there were ten days in the sky, and there were six strange beasts that caused harm to the world. The people were miserable. Dayi shot nine days and killed the strange beasts. Among them, the Ba snake was killed in Baqiu.

Of course, legends are legends. According to Bai Tu's understanding, it was actually a conflict between the Dongyi Group and the Miao Group in ancient times.

A tribe named Dayi, the leader of Dongyi, very bravely defeated six Miao tribes, one of which used the Ba snake as a totem. The place where they finally defeated the opponent was probably in Baqiu...

Indeed, the image of "Ba Snake" in the legends of Huainan, the hometown of Dongyi, has always been an evil beast that devours people. However, in the legends of Jingchu, most of them just describe it as being very big, without any evil deeds.

And the Snake Cultivation Department is likely to be part of the inheritance of this ancient tribe, so the patriarch's surname is "Wang", instead of directly taking Snake Cultivation as his surname!

Wangkong also truly believes that there is "Ba She Ji" in Ba Qiu. As long as Ba She Ji is awakened, he can guide his tribe to become extremely powerful and even replace the Han Dynasty...

This idea... is indeed "amazing".

Facts have proved that Wangkong's claim to be a descendant of the Wang family who was destroyed by Yi was indeed not without purpose, and he actually awakened a strange concubine wearing a snake head ornament and a leather coat!
However... what happened after that was completely vain imagination.

What will happen even if Basheji recovers? Just a tribal girl from more than 2000 years ago...

Although the Ba She tribe was defeated in the war, maybe the blame was not on Ba She Ji. It was not that Ba She Ji was not "advanced" enough, but... to bring out the "losers" of more than 2000 years, is it necessary to replace the big Han?
Chen Gong couldn't understand Wang Kong's thoughts!

When he prayed to Ba Sheji to let her defeat the Han army in front of her and then lead her people to glory, Ba Sheji showed an even more confused look than Jinling Ji before.

Well, if Ba Snake Ji could defeat the current army of the General's Mansion, she could have defeated Dayi's tribe more than 2000 years ago. How could she still be here waiting to be awakened by you?

Cheng Ji has also experienced many innovations, such as King Zhao Wuling seducing... Well, it was the introduction of Shaman Ji, and she developed step by step to have the advantage she has today. Why are you, an antique from 2000 years ago, so confident?
Now...the prisoners of the Snake Repair Department, as well as the awakened Ba Sheji, are all on their way back to Jinling.

Although for the Snake Cultivating Tribe, it was a complete farce. Shanyue was betrayed, and the tribe migrated to the Jiaoguang area. The warriors traveled through mountains and rivers, and cooperated with Mohuken to get the opportunity to go north... The Ba Sheji who was finally awakened was of no use. nothing?
But for the General's Mansion, it can be regarded as a consolation prize - as a tribal princess who had not "evolved" more than 2000 years ago, how could Ba Snake Ji be useless?At least... the residence has considerable archaeological value!
After Chen Gong solved the problem of the Snake Repair Department, he also continued northward, preparing to participate in the siege of Jiangling.

Originally, Bai Tu wanted to besiege Jiangling and keep the pressure on, and wait to see Liu Biao's condition before making any plans.

But now... now that he knows that things may change in Xu Du, Bai Tu can no longer place all his hopes on Mrs. Cai and Liu Cong.

After deciding not to participate in the Xudu incident, Lu Su and others also agreed that the offensive against Jiangling should be stepped up. Lu Su even suggested that Baitu personally take command of the front line!

Although Lu Bu felt that this was not necessary, Lu Su's reasons really moved Bai Tu.

The army currently besieging Jiangling is, after all, a three-pronged army. Although they are all colleagues in the General's Office, Zhang Xiu's Nanyang Army and Sun Ce's Jiangdong Army were all recruited by themselves. The armies led by Chen Gong and Zhang Liao, They were basically the former Bingzhou Army, and the generals were not familiar with each other before.

No matter who is appointed as the coach at this time, he may not be able to convince the public.

Even if they don't hold each other back like the coalition forces, it's hard to guarantee that orders and prohibitions will be enforced.

The only "general" who can unite all armies undisputedly is Bai Tu himself, the "General of the Han Dynasty" in the general's palace. Even if Lu Bu is in command, he is in trouble!
To put it bluntly, after Bai Tu left, there was no need for him to do anything, as long as he was "confessed" there, there was no need to worry about internal discord.

At the same time, there is another reason that does not need to be announced aloud - doesn't Bai Tu need to show his face in front of the frontline soldiers?

Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei...these "serious" princes are often involved in the front line. Especially in large-scale battles, the leader must take command by himself. It is for these two reasons!

As for Liu Biao and Liu Zhang, they are not considered "serious" princes...

Lu Bu was more depressed. He didn't have to go, but Bai Tu had to go to the front line. The wedding would probably be postponed for a few more months.

Fortunately, as the privy envoy, Lu Bu will definitely accompany him. At this time, Lu Bu has also made up his mind to fight quickly in Jiangling!

Once Xu You changes and the Emperor of Han is "invited" to leave by Yuan Shao or Liu Bei, he is likely to immediately issue an order to mediate the Jing Yang dispute, of which the latter is more troublesome.

The Emperor of Han was obtained by Yuan Shao, and he was only the Emperor of the Fourth Hand. However, if Liu Bei obtained the Emperor of Han, as a certified clan relative, he would really be willing to assist Liu Xie. This would be equivalent to returning the Emperor of Han to the factory for refurbishment, even if it is not really brand new. , can also increase the prestige of the imperial court, even if Bai Tu will not really stop because of mediation, but in the end there will be more constraints...
