Great Wei Nengchen

"Victory! - Victory! - Victory!"

........................

After dividing the troops and dispatching generals, Cao Cao was very happy. With hundreds of thousands of good soldiers, the battle to capture Jingzhou was sure to win, and his great cause of unifying the world took another step forward. Mutated!

When I entered the barracks just now, the weather was sunny and cloudless. Unexpectedly, after a while, the sky was covered by overcast clouds, and there were gusts of wind. It seemed that there was a sign of heavy rain!

The ancients believed in the connection between heaven and man, and everything that happened around them could be connected with natural phenomena, and the army was no exception. If the weather was sunny and sunny, it would be God’s blessing, and it would be a triumphant victory!

On the contrary, if it is a bad weather with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, it means that God's will is not on your side. If you send troops by force, you will lose the battle in all likelihood?

Cao Cao was so angry that he was going to issue a military order to severely punish the officials who observed the weather, but after thinking about it, he had to hold back his anger!

Because it was not other officials, but Cao Cao himself who chose to go to war today. He wanted to have a double happiness and send his troops south on the day of his birthday. I didn't expect it to be self-defeating!

"Today's army is marching south, and it's the prime minister's birthday, but the weather is bad. Could it be an ominous omen?"

"Sunny to cloudy, cloudy to cloudy, does it imply that this battle of the Southern Expedition will be followed first and then reversed, first won and then lost?"

"It's better for us to be careful, so as not to fall into a big somersault. Those who follow the sky will prosper, and those who go against the sky will perish!"

....................................

Seeing the weather change, the civil and military ministers in the audience couldn't help whispering, most of them thought it was an ominous omen, and some even wondered secretly whether they could dissuade the Prime Minister and hold the expedition ceremony another day, and it would be best to cancel the Southern Expedition !

The inauspicious weather is only one of the reasons. What everyone is really worried about is the instability of the rear. It is difficult to collect food, taxes, and civilian husbands.

"Haha! -- Since ancient times, God's will is high and difficult to ask. Today, the old man is leading the army to go to war, and I want to ask about God's will. I invite the wizard to come up to divination!"

Cao Cao is old and cunning, knowing that many people will not support this large-scale dispatch of troops to the south, and the soldiers are also war-weary, so he has long thought of a way to use God's will to boost the morale of the entire army!

"The 37th generation of Tianwu from the Yinmen sect, together with a group of disciples, see the prime minister -- the lucky star shines brightly, and there is no limit to life!"

After a while, more than a dozen wizards in black cloaks came to the general platform, holding bells, swords, axes, pots, pagodas, zithers, tripods, seals, mirrors... all kinds of bronze instruments in their hands. Very mysterious!

The great wizard headed by him - hunchbacked, with white beard and hair, and blurry eyes, at least 80 or [-] years old, but wearing a big white cloak, holding a palm-sized tortoise shell!

"All things are born with spirituality. Five witches and five spirits are not as good as tortoise spirits. They can know death, life, success and failure. Today's army is going out to predict victory or defeat, and hope that the turtle will show its spirit... Wow! Wow!"

The wizards circled around - bouncing around, chanting words, or making a few strange screams, or making exaggerated movements. When some people jumped crazy, they foamed at the mouth and fell into a coma!

The great wizard sat cross-legged, a pile of charcoal fire rose in front of him, he put the tortoise shell on the fire and roasted it, his eyes were fixed on the lines on it, as if he was trying to figure out the will of God... The eyes of all the civil and military officials also came together!

The ancients believed that the sky is round and the place is round. The carapace of the tortoise is raised like the sky, and the plastron is flat like the ground. Therefore, the tortoise is considered to be a kind of spiritual creature that knows astronomy and geography, and the turtle shell can predict life and death. Ji's mascot!

In ancient times, emperors had special divination officials. They grilled tortoise shells with charcoal fire, and then predicted state affairs, wars, weather, disasters, marriages, etc. according to the cracks on the tortoise shell. It comes from the tortoise shell!

Some people can't help but ask, divination is mysterious and mysterious, and the country is about to send troops to fight. If it is auspicious, it will naturally boost morale. Don't you want to send troops?

If it was in ancient times, it was really impossible to fight wars. For example, when Emperor Yao was in power, he once wanted to attack the Sanmiao tribe.

However, in the Spring and Autumn Period, when the rites collapsed and the music was broken, people’s hearts were not ancient. The originally sacred divination method has also become a tool for politicians, who often resort to deception and fabrication of God’s will to achieve their own goals!

For example, during the Warring States Period, the famous general Le Yi led the Allied Forces of the Five Nations to attack Qi. In six months, he conquered more than 70 cities. Only Ju and Jimo were left in Qi, which was on the verge of subjugation. It is also panic!

Since Mo Shoujiang-Tian Dan is a smart man, knowing that the enemy is strong and we are weak, he should not fight recklessly, so he first used countermeasures to force Le Yi to flee from the Kingdom of Yan, and then bought the wizard with a lot of money to create a hexagram of good luck and fortune, thus Stabilized the people of Qi, and finally defeated the Yan army with the fire bull formation, and regained the lost city!

The book returns to the main story. After a stick of incense, the divination ceremony was completed. The old wizard turned the tortoise's shell and looked at the lines on it. Then his body trembled violently, and two rays of light appeared in his eyes that were originally bewildered...

Taking a deep breath, the old wizard stabilized his mind and used his body to block the surrounding sight. He even hid the baked tortoise shell in his left sleeve, and at the same time, an identical tortoise shell slipped out of the right sleeve, cleverly stealing the dragon. Turn Phoenix!

"God-given divine pattern, the pattern is big, this is a sign of great auspiciousness, and it heralds that the army will go south-the attack is invincible, the battle is invincible!"

The old wizard held up the tortoise shell. There were many lines on it. Three of the clearest lines were connected together to form a "big" character. It was amazing. Then he stepped forward and handed it to Cao Cao!

"Victory! - must be victorious! - our army must be victorious!"

After Cao Cao saw it, he nodded with satisfaction, and then passed the tortoise shell to the civil and military officials, as well as the soldiers. Wherever he went, everyone was amazed and cheered.

Only Xiao Yi, Cheng Yu... a small number of counselors are silent and sneer secretly. Since ancient times, the wise have served the gods, and the fools have served the gods. They have seen this kind of pediatric deception clearly. What can you spy on?

Chapter 1206 Three people divide the land and stand together!

"Everyone in the Wumen has worked hard. We will reward you with 500 taels of gold and [-] bolts of brocade. Go down and receive your rewards!"

"Thank you, Lord Prime Minister, for the reward. The Wumen will listen to your encouragement in the future!"

Although Cao Cao is the mastermind behind the scenes, he has always kept a respectful distance from ghosts and gods, and it is enough to reward some property. If he wants to pacify the Kyushu, he has to rely on gold and iron horses!

After the old wizard received the thank you, he hurriedly got off the general platform and found a secluded and uninhabited place. Then he took out the tortoise shell for divination from his left sleeve. Woolen cloth!

On the top of this tortoise shell, there are also three clear lines, which cross each other vertically and horizontally, forming a character for "earth", and there are countless small lines, which vaguely divide the word "earth" into three parts. And Li's hexagram!

"This hexagram has been rarely seen for hundreds of years. It is probably not an auspicious omen when it is displayed in the expedition ceremony today!"

As a top wizard, in addition to superb divination techniques, he also needs to know the weather, geography, humanities, medical skills, history... Only in this way can he adapt to the situation and be able to advance and retreat more than enough!

The old wizard clearly remembers that at the end of the Spring and Autumn period more than 700 years ago, the royal power of the Jin Kingdom declined, and the high officials took control of the political situation. ! '

Sure enough, not long after, the civil war broke out in the state of Jin, and the doctors killed each other. , Wei three surnamed doctors are divided, this is the story of the three families divided into Jin Dynasty!

The current situation of the Han Dynasty is also that the monarch is incompetent, the ministers are in power, and the princes are separated and fighting constantly. Compared with the end of the Jin Dynasty, the chaos is even worse than that!

Now I use tortoise shells to divination and test the will of heaven, and the same hexagrams appear again. Could it be that the great man who has been passed down for more than 400 years will also be divided up by three people? Prime Minister Cao must be one of them, and who are the other two? , Liu Biao, Liu Zhang, Zhang Lu, Sun Quan... are there still rising stars?

Since the rise of Buddhism and Taoism, the space for wizards' activities has been continuously squeezed, and life is getting worse day by day. If they want to revive, they must have the support of the ruler and understand the world's major events!

"Crack!...Crack! Crack!"

While the old wizard was meditating, another change occurred. It turned out that after the tortoise shell cooled down, it made a crackling sound and cracked many lines. One of the horizontal lines was very clear, and it was pressing on the word 'soil', turning into a tortoise shell. A word 'king'!

"The situation where the three people divide the land has become monopolized by one king. The old man has been divination with the tortoise shell for many years, and he has never seen such a strange thing. Could it be that a king is born and will annex three parts of the world... Poof! Poof!"

Faced with the change in the tortoise shell, the old wizard was also panicked. After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, chanted spells, and pinched the five elements with his hands, trying to peek into some secrets!

Unexpectedly, after a few steps of calculation, his whole body felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He spewed a few mouthfuls of blood, and he was paralyzed on the ground... Soul flies away!

"Master!... Something happened to the master, everyone hurry over!"

A dozen or so apprentices were around, busy counting the rewards, and hurriedly surrounded them, pinching people and pricking silver needles, trying to rescue the old wizard back!

It's a pity that it didn't help. The old wizard vomited blood and was powerless. He just stretched out a hand, as if he wanted to write something on the ground, but just after a few strokes, he kicked his legs and died!

Just after the tortoise shell divination and asked good and bad luck, the master vomited blood and died. This was obviously punished by the gods. The dozen or so apprentices were trembling with fright, and they didn't dare to publicize it, lest they would cause death!

I had no choice but to declare that the old wizard was overworked and needed to go back for a rest, wrapped the body in a cloak, secretly carried it out of the camp, and then found a hidden place in the mountains, buried the divination tortoise shell with the old wizard, and then shared the rewards , each went to make a living, and the hidden door disappeared without a trace!

As for the handwriting left on the ground, no one took it seriously, because the old wizard was exhausted on the verge of death, and only drew out a few strokes, which vaguely looked like "Caozitou", but there are tens of thousands of Chinese characters, and there are hundreds of "Caozitou". , Who knows what the word is?
