Mythical Three Kingdoms Chapter 428 - 404: Divine Stone and the Like Are All Trivial

Jia Xu’s words awoke Chen Xi to a realization. The problem at hand was not the Divine Stone, but rather the Son of the Plane. Wang Mang was clearly a transmigrator, and despite having a strong grip on the general trend, he was ultimately ended by the Son of the Plane...

*cough cough* This certainly wasn’t sothing to be happy about. If there really was such a degree of inevitable causative correction, then things would beco tricky. Although it was still possible to pacify the land, the difficulty level had jumped directly from hard mode, skipping over hell and nightmare, right into the realm of the Martial Emperor, the inevitable causative correction force!

[Let’s first assu there is an inevitable causative correction force. Then, speaking of the general trend, the only thing that can be corrected is history. And when that history expands to a certain extent, historical nodal figures, whether alive or dead, beco irrelevant. It’s like when Wang Mang had Liu Xiu killed, and then another Liu Xiu appeared...] Chen Xi pondered with furrowed brows, [What exactly is the general trend? Is it the Battle of Guandu establishing control over the north, the Battle of Red Cliff leading to a tripartite division of the world, and finally the Three Families Returning to Jin?]

[It can pretty much be ruled out that the general trend is a person. If it’s the change of dynasties, then Wang Mang should have followed the will of Heaven and the trend of the tis. In fact, at the beginning, there really wasn’t any misfortune, but now it seems that the general trend was with Emperor Guangwu in the later stage, which conflicts with the earlier analysis. So does that an Wang Mang caused his own death?] Chen Xi thought speechlessly.

[There is not enough information. Although it’s been deduced that each world with a master has a historical general trend, and the correction force is also based on this original historical template, it has been confird that each parallel world will have its differences...] Chen Xi thought with a frown, [which ans there are allowances for differences...]

Chen Xi thought a lot, really a lot, but in the end, he could only end his contemplation. There was simply too little information about this aspect, and there were not many examples to begin with. To rely on conjecture, it was still sowhat uncertain.

[It seems I will still need to explore step by step. At least up to now, there have been no major coincidences or accidents, which ans the nerve hasn’t been touched yet?] Chen Xi estimated in his mind. If the nerve had not yet been touched, then there were far too many possibilities to work with.

[Looking at the current situation, there are many possibilities, assuming the general trend is history, and Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and other individuals are historical nodes that usually cannot be killed before completing their historical missions. They’re considered small forces. Does that an each historical figure carries their own Mandate of Heaven?] Chen Xi’s expression visibly improved, [It seems that as long as I can confirm one more thing, I would know what to do...]

"Zichuan, why do you seem restless and sowhat distracted?" Jia Xu asked, not understanding why. Was it not just the discovery of another Divine Stone? As the military generals increase in strength, aren’t their powers also rising?

"It’s nothing. I was just thinking about so matters," Chen Xi replied with a trace of helplessness in his eyes. So burdens could only be shouldered by oneself. Even if many hands make light work, Chen Xi knew it was best not to tell others these things. If he told Liu Guan Zhang and others that their lifelong efforts were not the results of hard work but rather the outco of fate, even the most even-tempered person might feel a sense of defeat.

"What a joy it is to contend with the heavens~" A mocking, inscrutable smile spread across Chen Xi’s face. At this point, what more could be said? Liu Bei’s ideals intertwined with his own, and saying they were kindred spirits wouldn’t be too far off. He definitely could not retreat, for it was Liu Bei who must ascend to the top of this world!

"..." Jia Xu looked at Chen Xi, puzzled. This was a rather abrupt statent with no clear context.

"Wen He, you needn’t worry about it," Chen Xi said, opening his folding fan to conceal his expression and spoke with a light laugh, "I was just reminded of sothing. In the future, I will need you to put in more effort. We need to be united and fight against the heroes of this world, to make them submit under our overwhelming general trend!"

"Alright..." Jia Xu looked at Chen Xi’s fanatic eyes with a lackluster response, then muttered to himself, "It’s that ti again; it seems Zichuan and our Lord enter a frenzied phase every once in a while..."

What Jia Xu didn’t know was a term called "middle-school syndro"; otherwise, he would have realized that Chen Xi was perfectly embodying the aning of this term now.

"..." Sotis Chen Xi had quite good hearing; Jia Xu’s mutterings reached Chen Xi’s ears without missing a word, imdiately making him feel sowhat embarrassed, and then, in a flurry of annoyed sha, he started swinging his folding fan to hit Jia Xu with it.

"Hehehe~" Jia Xu laughed darkly and parried Chen Xi’s fan with his own jet-black folding fan, then struck back at Chen Xi. The two n began to fight with their fans inside the carriage.

Two days after Liu Bei received intelligence about the disturbance by the Yellow Turbans of Qingzhou, Yuan Shao’s side also received information about them.

"These Yellow Turbans of Qingzhou are really going all out, a whole million-strong army! And it’s led by a Yellow Turban Commander to boot!" Yuan Shao laughed heartily; he had just wanted to give Liu Bei a hard ti. Since he could not stop the affair in Xuzhou, he thought about slowing down Liu Bei’s developnt. But here he was, ready to go to sleep, and soone handed him a pillow.

"My Lord, we can use Guan Hai to hold back Liu Xuande. With a million Yellow Turbans not acting recklessly and sticking together, it won’t be easy for Liu Xuande to take control of Qingzhou," Xu You stepped forward imdiately and made a bow to Yuan Shao.

"Ziyuan makes sense," Shen Pei glanced at Xu You. Although he disagreed with Xu You politically, right now the collection of Yuan Shao’s strategists was still a united front not yet at the point of backstabbing one another, "The Yellow Turbans of Qingzhou lack food supplies, while our Jizhou has plenty. We can drive them with grain."

"Guan Hai is not one of Liu Xuande’s subordinates in disguise. The siege on North Sea boils down to a quest for grain. What you both suggest, to drive them with grain, is indeed the King’s Way. Further, we can offer Guan Hai and other Yellow Turban commanders military ranks and titles, appointing them as the Prefectural Governors of various jurisdictions in Qingzhou," Ju Shou also stood up and added.

"Since everyone agrees it should be this way, let us now reach out to the Yellow Turbans of Qingzhou and tell Guan Hai that if he can hold out until June this year, I, Yuan Benchu, will give him a million piculs of grain, and I can also give him a tenth of it right now! Furthermore, I will petition to appoint him as the Governor of Qingzhou, leaving him in charge of all affairs, big and small, in Qingzhou," Yuan Shao said, having seen all his strategists consent, pondering for a mont before speaking. Ever since the Mount Tai Chamber of Comrce rose to prominence, the concept of a deposit had beco widespread.

Yuan Shao, rich and full of confidence, naturally did not place much importance on those hundred thousand piculs of grain. To show his sincerity, he even ordered ng Dai to lead a thousand soldiers to escort the hundred thousand piculs of grain to Beihai of Qingzhou.

Sotis, the boldness determines a person’s stature, success or not, Yuan Shao had decided to deliver those hundred thousand piculs of grain to Guan Hai. Yuan Shao was willing to do it if he could just make things difficult for Liu Bei, as he had gathered from his intelligence that a battle between Guan Hai and Liu Bei was inevitable.
