Chapter 436 Mythical Military Strategy, Storm Rising [Subscribe]

The Ono Lake reflected the moonlight, sparkling.

Cao Cao came out of Bian Mei's room and came to a new room.

Xiao Qiao has been in the palace for some time and has integrated into the life in the inner palace.

When Cao Cao came over in the afternoon, she had a premonition and her mood became unstable after nightfall.

When Cao Cao came in, she heard the noise and quickly closed her eyes and lay motionless.

The windows were open on a summer night, and the moonlight blended into the cabin like clear lake water.

Xiao Qiao lay on her side on the couch, her whole body emitting a healthy glow.

At this moment, her cheeks were slightly red and her almond eyes were closed.

Her graceful figure propped up the thin quilt into a beautiful arc, her slender and well-proportioned calves, her exquisite and delicate feet, even her fingertips grasping the quilt, revealed an alluring aura...

Cao Cao came to the side of the couch.

Two quarters of an hour later, when the Taoist priest sent a message, Xiao Qiao frowned slightly, fearing that Cao Cao would suddenly leave to deal with other things.

When the wind and rain passed, Xiao Qiao fell into a deep sleep.

Cao Cao comfortably came to the empty cabin next door and responded to Dao Zun:
"Can't you sense the locations of the other relics through the relic you sacrificed?"

Dao Zun has come out of the Peshawar Palace and is heading southeast:

"Why did it take you so long to respond?"

"I am studying the method of the three-legged tripod, you don't understand."

Dao Zun was stunned. He really didn't understand what the three-legged tripod meant.

“Buddhism is flourishing here, and there may be certain Buddhists who can blend with the aura of the relic and hide its location.

For the moment, I only felt that there were relics in the southeast direction, but I couldn’t determine the exact location.”

Cao Cao ended his contact with Dao Zun and returned to Xiao Qiao's cabin.

In the southern part of the Kushan Empire, on the border with India, there is a big city called Patraya.

The city is a famous city in ancient India, located at the confluence of the Ganges and Yamuna rivers.

The later Volume 5 of the Great Tang Records on the Western Regions records:

"The country of Palyagata is more than 5,000 li in circumference. The capital is large, located at the junction of two rivers, and the city is more than 20 li wide. The crops are fertile, the weather is harmonious, and the customs are kind. People like to learn arts... and learn Buddhist teachings."

After this place was occupied by the Kushans, all the Indians in the city became prisoners.

After decades of rule, there were many Buddhists in the city of Patraya.

When Mahavibhasa was killed, there was a middle-aged monk in the holy temple in the core of the ancient city of Patraya, who immediately felt something was happening.

He was dressed in a reddish-brown robe, tall and thin, and walked out of the hall, looking towards the northwest.

It seemed as if a third eye had opened between his eyebrows, and Buddha's light was shining brightly.

That was another Buddha relic.

In Buddhism, those who can carry the Buddha's relics and merge them with their own aura will be considered to be the reincarnation of Buddha's wisdom and are the most respected.

In modern times, there are only two Buddhist leaders and a great guardian of a sect who can merge with the Buddha's relics and use the power in the relics to bless themselves.

The two Buddha heads, also known as the big and small Buddha heads, correspond to Mahayana and Hinayana Buddhism.

In Buddhism, they have the most respected status.

After Mahavibhasa died, the small Buddha head in the city of Patraya and the Buddha relic suspended between the eyebrows suddenly emitted a golden light.

Lotus flowers bloomed under his feet, and golden light shone with every step. Sanskrit words spread out as he walked towards the northwest.

A few days later in the afternoon, the little Buddha Shuti Vidhi appeared in the Peshawar Palace in the city of Vlosa.

At this time, the palace was filled with sad voices, and many monks kowtowed towards the main hall with solemn expressions.

When the little Buddha head entered the hall, he saw the body of Mahavibhasa.

The space between his eyebrows is sunken and his eyes are closed.

There were thousands of Buddhists inside and outside the hall. When they saw the small Buddha head, they all chanted the name of Buddha.

The little Buddha head came to Mahavibhasa's side and stared at him for a long time.

He reached out his hand and lightly touched her brow. It was as if his fingertips were touching the edge of a sword, and he felt an extremely sharp aura.

Layers of golden light surged from the tip of the little Buddha's finger, which offset the aura.

In a trance, the sound of an ancient bell being struck was heard in the hall.

When the little Buddha retracted his fingers, blood oozed out from the fingertips, and his face looked solemn.

evening.

Devidi came to the Kushan Palace and met Poteo who was having dinner.

"Respected King, someone killed Mahavibhasa and stole the Buddha's holy relics. I have investigated and found that it was a force from the East."

The little Buddha performed a Buddhist ceremony:

"I beg you to help us punish the murderer."

"The East, you mean the Great Wei in Han territory."

Bo Diao chewed the mutton in his mouth slowly, looking thoughtful.

Generally speaking, when two major powers compete with each other, there will be many attempts and bargaining in the early stages, and they will not rush into a confrontation.

Long before Bu Liugu arrived, Bo Diao had heard something about the development of the Eastern and Western Xianbei and within the Han territory over the past decade.

He was not completely without concerns about Cao Wei, which had defeated the Xianbei repeatedly, so he was not easily instigated by Bu Liugu to send troops to attack the Western Regions.

But he still made some arrangements.

The Wei Dynasty had previously sent an envoy to deliver a letter, but the envoy's wording and attitude made Bo Diao very unhappy.

He will let Da Wei know who is the real king of this land!

In addition to the turbulent situation in the Western Regions, Cao Cao also accelerated the pace of subsequent wars in Japan.

August 7th.

Lu Su received the order through the communication beads.

Cao's army in Japan immediately took action.

After Cao's army landed on the Kanto Plain, the Japanese retreated collectively into the mountains.

In mid-August, a group of Japanese hiding in the mountains ran north quickly with panicked expressions. They shouted loudly: "Hurry up, those foreign demons have set the mountain on fire, and the fire is about to rise."

Amid the shouts of these Japanese tribesmen, more Japanese people appeared one after another.

They all fled northwards, relying on some small paths in the mountains.

Mid to late August.

A raging fire broke out north of the Kanto Plain, which is the middle section of the north-south boundary of Japan.

The Wei army started a fire from the south, and the wind fanned the flames. The weather was extremely hot, and the fire engulfed the entire jungle.

In the mountains and forests, tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers were wailing in panic and despair.

Even if you hide in the mountains further north, the possibility of escape is slim as the fire spreads.

Throughout August, fires spread across northern Japan.

The entire territory is densely mountainous, and almost all of the mountains are covered with jungles.

The fire grew more and more intense and lasted for a whole month.

Looking from the sky, half of Japan seemed to be burning.

The sky was filled with ashes from fire and wood, blocking out the sun.

In the mountains and forests, animals and humans struggle for their lives, and natural disaster-like scenes are common.

When the Japanese soldiers retreated into the mountains, the supplies they carried were limited.

The harsh environment, the urgent shortage of food supplies, and then the forest fire... After that, countless Japanese people escaped from the mountains and chose to surrender because they did not want to be burned to death.

Even more people died in the mountains.

The few remaining Japanese forces that fled north no longer posed any threat.

After the situation in Japan was initially settled, a large number of labor camps were built in areas not affected by the fire, such as Kyushu Island and the Kansai Plain to its south, to exploit various resources.

Japan's maritime and shipbuilding industries are well developed.

Cao Cao then ordered to gather Japanese craftsmen and make full use of their advantages to build ships for the Wei Dynasty.

Japan is located on a chain of volcanic islands and has rich reserves of gold and silver mines.

In later generations, although Japan lacked other resources, its gold and silver reserves and mining volumes have always been among the highest in the world.

The mining and supply of these materials to Shenzhou will provide considerable assistance to the Wei Dynasty.

Onozawa.

The weather in early September is a little chilly.

To the north of Onozawa, there are continuous hills.

The surrounding area was fenced off a few years ago. Xianyu Fu and Yan Rou captured tigers, wolves and other ferocious beasts from Youzhou and scattered them around, forming a hunting ground.

At this moment, in the mountains, an arrow suddenly flew out and penetrated the eye of a wild boar with amazing accuracy.

The wild boar rushed out through the forest out of inertia, letting out a terrible howl, and soon fell to the ground.

It was Cao Cao who personally tested the new compound bow and shot the wild boar.

[You use the mythical realm's Concealment, and your aura blends with the heaven and earth. Your Concealment Military Strategy has reached the second-class skill level, the mythical military strategy is in the initial stage]

[Your innate military strategy of listening to the battlefield has been upgraded to heavenly hearing and earthly seeing (mythical talent, historical level, initial stage)]

Cao Cao's figure seemed to appear out of nothing, appearing behind the hidden trees.

Before he appeared, he concealed himself with a military strategy that deceived everyone.

The mythical military strategy allowed Cao Cao to hide and blend with the heaven and earth, without any trace being seen.

He came to the wild boar, and Xu Chu, who was accompanying him, pulled out the arrows on the ground.

The arrow actually pierced the wild boar and fell to the ground instead of remaining in its body.

Suddenly, two more wild boars rushed out from a dozen feet away and charged towards Cao Cao and his companions.

Snapped!
Yin jumped out from behind the bushes on the flank and slapped the wild boar on the head.

With another big paw, he pressed the second wild boar firmly to the ground. Then he turned around and looked at Cao Cao with joyful eyes, waiting for praise.

Cao Cao stayed in Daye Lake until early September before he set out on his journey home with his family.

However, when the wives and concubines returned to Yecheng, Xun Yu went out of the city to greet them, but he did not see Cao Cao.

"What about Your Majesty?"

Guo Jia returned to Yecheng at the end of August and stood beside Xun Yu:
"Recently, the Xianbei and Kushan have been unstable. When your Majesty went to Daye Lake, he had the idea of ​​going to Hexi. How could he come back so easily?"

"Your Majesty has been in Daye Lake for more than a month, and has deployed troops many times. He has already laid a large network centered on the northwest..."

South of the Yellow River.

On the official road heading west, an all-cavalry team was marching quickly.

Cao Cao personally led a large force of cavalry and marched rapidly toward the northwest.

It is worth mentioning that the spiritual charm of heaven and earth is rising.

Cao Cao promoted the country's fortunes and assisted several generals in breaking into mythical realms. The military fortunes they jointly promoted, in turn, allowed the Wei army's military strength and even the quality of its soldiers to continue to improve.

In the past six months, the increase in the number of heavy cavalry is significantly higher than in the past.

Twenty-one soldiers were selected from various places who met the requirements for heavy cavalry.

The number of heavy cavalry has exceeded 100, and currently there are 102 in total.

The entire heavy cavalry team was fully armored.

Cao Cao also changed out of his dragon robe and led his troops to Hexi.

When he came over, he received a message.

Several small countries that were vassals of the Kushan Empire have been making frequent moves around the Western Regions in recent times.

A border troop of the Wei Dynasty that was patrolling the border west of the Western Regions was suddenly attacked three days ago.

There was a small team of more than 30 people, but less than half of them broke through and returned.

On the trade route heading west, the Kushans not only raised taxes on trade, but also set up checkpoints along the way to prohibit the Han people from trading westward.
