Lord of Hongmeng

Chapter 200
Time passed in a hurry, and several years had passed in the blink of an eye. On the land of the Central Plains, the flames of war were still intensifying.

And the time for the unification of the north has finally arrived. Yuan Shao's army and Cao's army gathered at Guandu. Believe it or not?
Chen Xuan watched this absolutely critical battle. The war in the north for many years might also be temporarily extinguished, which is also a great merit. As for Qin Hai's current situation, it depends on his good luck and ability. Pay attention, the trajectory of life is so mysterious, it is worth watching, blindly interfering will only become a tasteless thing, and you will not find any interest.

The inertia of history is huge. Yuan Shao was still so arrogant. After all, he did not listen to persuasion and sent troops to guard the food and grass. It was too late when he knew the crisis. The entire army also collapsed in an instant, and they couldn't hide it even if they wanted to. The so-called defeat is like a mountain, even so.

Cao Dajun concealed the killing and chased and killed Yuan Shao's army thousands of miles away, but Yuan Shao escaped.

Even so, Cao's position in the north has been established, and he is definitely the overlord. It will not take long to unify the strength of the entire north. Then it will be a huge disaster for the scattered south, which cannot be stopped at all. .

The Battle of Guandu naturally swept across the entire land of China like a gust of wind. No matter where it was, there was a tremor, especially in the south. It was just that when the northerners were not used to water warfare, they immediately gained confidence. Jiangdong was the most proud , Thinking that there is no way to pass the Yangtze River natural moat, as long as it is firmly guarded, then everything will be fine, no matter how many Cao Dajun come, there is nothing they can do.

In this way, Sun Quan naturally felt relieved, but the training of the water army has been strengthened a lot, especially the building of warships, which is even more frenzied. If the ground infantry cannot win, then it is very important to fight with water soldiers. For things that are beneficial, naturally one has to choose one's own advantage. Only fools are willing to attack the strong with the disadvantage. That is the way of suicide, without any doubt.

Of course, the north is not peaceful yet, which also gives the south a chance to connect. Especially the side headed by Liu Bei, with the support of Liu Biao, is expanding wantonly. They want to take Jingzhou for their own use, but they are facing too many enemies. If you are strong and powerful, otherwise you can only act blatantly and wait for the opportunity silently, then you will be able to control Jingzhou in your hands and realize your strategic intentions.

In Chen Xuan's courtyard, Gan Ning was sitting steadily. The development of these years had made him more and more admiral, but when facing Chen Xuan, he would always show a respectful expression, and respectfully said: "Master Dao, the current situation in the north Sure, so what about the south now?"

"Don't worry, there are still some clowns in the south who want to fight. Of course, if they use them well, even Cao may not be able to conquer the south in one fell swoop. After all, most of the soldiers in the north are illiterate, so it is naturally difficult to cross the Yangtze River. It’s natural, let’s not talk about your side, it’s a dark game, it can’t be used until the critical moment, but it can also show your importance and strengthen the score.”

Chen Xuan glanced at Gan Ning lightly, knowing the urgency in his heart, and said calmly: "If you don't experience setbacks, you won't know the importance of the navy. Although Cao is very good at land, he is definitely good at navy. A layman, besides, when the time comes, not only you, but also other people will be willing to take refuge in secret, and once you lose the battle, you will understand your importance."

When Gan Ning heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he asked in puzzlement, "Who else is going back to seek refuge, isn't it?"

"Why not? For the aristocratic family, the so-called lord is just a backer. Once lost, they will definitely be more willing to find a more reliable backer. Now in Jingzhou, Liu Biao is old and alive. It won't be a few years, and stalemate is the best situation, but do you think, would the people under him be willing to follow a person with little ability?"

When Gan Ning heard this, his heart suddenly moved. Liu Biao's two sons are both cowards and are of no use at all. In this way, his subordinates will never be willing to serve cowards as their lords. It is the best way out, and it can also bring a ray of life to my family. It is definitely a very worthwhile transaction, and I suddenly realized it.

"What the Daoist said is that it's only in the current situation, but once the big clan under Liu Biao takes refuge, wouldn't there be a powerful navy to join the battle? Wouldn't my navy be useless?" After thinking about it , Gan Ning said doubtfully.

"Don't worry, Pindao advocates freedom. By then you will know your importance. Don't worry, Qin Hai will do his job well. It is also an outstanding performance. But don't relax, it will be extremely difficult at that time War, the cruelty of water warfare is not weaker than that of land warfare, I think you know it better than Pindao, don't you think so?"

"Yes, Taoist priest, I know, I will definitely work hard to train the navy." Gan Ning still wonders why the Taoist priest is so confident, but when he thinks of the Taoist priest's unpredictable ability, he immediately knows it. It is not what ordinary people can imagine.

"Don't worry, Cao wants to go south, it will take time, you just use this time to study the water system in the south carefully again, I believe you can do better, know yourself and the enemy, only in this way can you fight with the least loss , getting the maximum profit is similar to doing business, so you have to take this matter more seriously."

Chen Xuan emphasized that the complex water system in the south must be thoroughly understood in order to know how to use the least time to obtain the greatest benefit. It will be a huge test for our own side, and it will also be very important for the future. important.

Gan Ning nodded as he listened, knowing this, it seems that he needs to pay more attention to the investigation to avoid accidents, after all, it is really hard to tell what the time will be like in a few years, and all these years relying on Mr. The property sent secretly and the battleship built made him know that he must pay back, otherwise no matter how much he supported, he would not be looked at seriously by others.

"Okay, go get busy. You don't need to pay attention to this place. You only need to observe the affairs in the south. You don't need to worry about other things. Whether it can be done or not depends on God's will. If God's will can't be violated, You don't want to be born, or continue to be a water thief, I believe that with your current strength, you should be very carefree, life is impermanent, and no one can be sure of the future."

"Yes, Daoist, Xingba is very grateful for these years of cultivation." Gan Ning said gratefully, if Daoist didn't like them kneeling, he would really kneel now, to express his sincerity.

"Go and complete your task, don't let your painstaking efforts go to waste." Chen Xuan shook his hand and asked Gan Ning to back down.

After Gan Ning saluted again, he exited the courtyard gate, took a deep look, and left with a big stride, full of confidence.

Chen Xuan turned his head to look, and nodded in satisfaction. The general wants this kind of attitude. Not only does he need strong confidence, but he also needs to have enough faith. For his subordinates, it is the best banner to lead them to the light s future.

After the past few years in Xiaoqin Village, especially the changes in the school, all of them have changed, especially after the children have a foundation in literacy, the villagers are very happy. As for martial arts, needless to say, even if Even encountering robbers and the like, they can easily deal with them. Compared with before, they are definitely much stronger, which makes them feel incredible. This is the change of a few years.

"Okay, teacher." The new children are all very excited now, and they are very curious about this Taoist teacher.

Chen Xuan didn't care about it. What do youngsters who are just beginning to understand know? They need step-by-step teaching to know what they are doing, so that they don't have any doubts. It will be a great benefit for them in the future.

It's just that there are more and more children now, so we can only let the teenagers who graduated a few years ago serve as teaching assistants to share the pressure. Of course, those who have entered recently are still taught by him personally, hoping to embark on a different path.

People have their own personalities, and they cannot be exactly the same. Only in this way can we have a clear division of labor and find our own favorite path. This will be a huge boost to the entire human social process, and various tools will be born. , and more and more people will be liberated from it, but in what direction will they go, or will they continue to be suppressed by the rulers?

For these young children, Chen Xuan also hoped that they would find their own way, so he taught them very carefully, leaving a good enlightenment and broadening their horizons. bad.

As for the martial arts class, it is also the most favorite class of the children. They are all grown up by listening to generations of teenagers, so they are naturally very eager.

Since ancient times, there has been a heart of chivalry and righteousness. I have had it since I was a child, but the environment is different, I can’t get it, and I don’t know how to do it. As time goes by, it will be buried. A warm-blooded heart will also become cold. It is also a kind of sadness that there is not a trace of enthusiasm. In this era, there are very few people who can have it. Refugees and refugees have become the theme, which is insensitive.

It is because of this that Xiaoqin Village is gradually known by the surrounding villages. They are very envious when they see the educated teenagers walking out. Exclusive.

On this point, even Chen Xuan is helpless, the essence of human nature is so realistic.
