The Strongest Daoist in the Heavens

Chapter 22 The Great Battle: Red Cliff!

The Battle of Guandu ended with the annihilation of Yuan Shao's entire army and Cao Cao's unification of the entire north.

Because everything happened so fast that neither Liu Biao nor Liu Zhang could react.Jiang Dong didn't even react. After Sun Ce killed Yu Ji, he was haunted by Yu Ji's ghost all day long, unable to do anything, and had no mood to care about Cao Cao.

He was quite concerned about Li He, because he wanted Li He to do something for him to drive away Yu Ji's soul.

But Li He wouldn't do it for him at all, not to mention that Sun Ce was doomed to die, the fact that he beheaded Yu Ji alone was against the entire Taoist sect and even the practice world. he?

Anyway, Li He wouldn't go, even if he could intercept a lot of luck by helping him, he wouldn't do it.

"Originally we occupied Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Yuzhou, and now we have Qingzhou, Youzhou and other places, and have already dominated the entire north. Even if Liu Biao and Sun Quan join hands, I am afraid that they will not be my opponent!" The class teacher returned to the court On the way, Cao Cao said to Li He proudly.

Hearing this, Li He nodded and said: "In terms of military strength, we are indeed not afraid of anyone anymore!"

Now that the north is unified, as long as Yuan Shao's several states are digested, Cao Cao can gather an army of 80 million, plus a group of counselors and fierce generals. In terms of strength, it is really enough to surpass the sum of other princes.

Regardless of how big Jingzhou, Yizhou, and Yangzhou are all, in terms of population and military strength, they have no advantage at all.

The Three Kingdoms era is not a later generation. Although the south is also rich, it is not the most populous place.

"It's just that Zhuge Kongming makes me restless!" Cao Cao said, "In terms of mana, he is no less than you, Taoist priest. He is even more proficient in forming formations, and can directly use formations to kill the enemy. As for strategy, he is also a master." Daoist Master, the 'No.1 in the world' that you most admire is a rare talent in ancient and modern times, even though my army strength is close to one million, I feel a little uneasy about him."

In front of Li He, he never hides himself, and he will speak out when he has worries.

Is Zhuge Liang's talent, as Li He said, the only one in the world, or even the best in the past and the present? He doesn't know, but he knows that Zhuge Liang made Lu Bu into a mess with a few stones. Like the world's number one fierce general, he might die there.

How powerful is this?

"Zhuge Liang is indeed our great enemy. If we don't defeat him, it is impossible to talk about unifying the world." Li He said: "But it is very difficult to defeat him by fighting skills, and it is absolutely impossible to defeat him by fighting wits. The only way is to grow yourself to a strong enough level, crushing him with great momentum, no matter how high his mana is, there is no use for him, and no matter how powerful his wisdom is, he will have no chance to use it!"

Hearing this, Cao Cao nodded and said, "The national teacher already has a plan in mind?"

"Forget it!" Li He pondered for a while, and said: "First of all, in terms of military strength, we must completely subdue Xiliang, break up Ma Teng's army and integrate it into our own army, unify our thinking, and create a military force that belongs entirely to Meng Deyou. Millions of elite soldiers!"

Regarding this, Cao Cao smiled and said, "You are already doing this Taoist priest?"

He still remembered that when Zhao Yun went to suppress Xiliang, Li He once gave him a kit and told him to act according to the strategy in the kit.

"I'm doing it, and now, it should have achieved results." Li He said with a smile.

At the same time, Ma Teng, the prefect of Xiliang, was holding a wedding banquet.

For his daughter Ma Yunhe.

Just today, Ma Yunhe will marry the famous "Changshan Invincible General" Zhao Zilong, the peerless general who once defeated Lu Bu three-on-three in front of Hulao Pass.

And the dowry is the whole of Xiliang.

Why is this so?
Originally, it was destined that Zhao Yun's wife would be Ma Chao's younger sister, the daughter of Xiliang prefect Ma Teng, and Li He turned into a traveling Taoist to calculate a marriage for her, which fulfilled her and Zhao Yun's marriage.

But at the same time, he also gave Zhao Yun an order to take control of Xiliang.

The steps are somewhat complicated, but they are also very simple. It is nothing more than relying on bravery to convince Ma Chao, and relying on talent to convince Ma Teng, and then pointing out the shortcomings of the two of them, and lobbying, they successfully regained Xiliang.

This occupies three points, one is the decline of Liu Bei's luck, which led to the loss of Ma Chao.

And Ma Teng was destined to vote for Cao Cao, regardless of whether he was killed or not, he was also destined to belong to Cao Ying, and Xiliang belonged to Cao Cao.

In addition, with Zhao Yun's ability, it is not a problem to conquer a state.

Even because of him, Ma Chao began to focus on the "Chinese catastrophe", and even forgot that he also had some foreign blood in him... Generally speaking, the right time, the right place, and the right people completely subdued Xiliang.

"Secondly, to fight Zhuge Liang, I also need a helper." Li He said.

Hearing this, Cao Cao immediately asked, "Who?"

"Contemporary Celestial Master Zhang Lu, although he is also a vassal, he has no intention of fighting for hegemony. As long as Meng De allows him the position of 'state religion', I can guarantee that he will support you wholeheartedly!" Li He said.

Hearing this, Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he said, "Just give him a false name, and you can exchange him for the whole of Hanzhong?"

"That's not a false name, that's luck." Li He said.

Soon after, he rode a crane to Zhang Lu with a copy of Cao Cao's handwriting.

As a member of the Taoist sect, Zhang Lu was naturally very polite to Li He. He not only entertained Li He with good wine and food, but also discussed cultivation with Li He.

Li He didn't keep it private either, except for "Tianyan Dun Yijian", which was useless to Zhang Lu, he even taught Zhang Lu the "Tianshu Daojing".

Outsiders may think that among the many sects of Taoism, there will be sectarian views, but in fact, it is completely outsiders who do not understand the Taoism, and do not know that for them, spreading the exercises outside is a good thing, not a bad thing.

Because teaching the Dharma is preaching, it is grace, and you can receive luck in return.

Of course, if the person who inherits the Dharma does something bad, it will also be blamed on the person who taught the Dharma. This is the reason why "the Dharma should not be passed on lightly".

"Master Zhang, how do you think your Taoism compares with Master Dao Ling?" Li He took the opportunity to ask.

Hearing this, Zhang Lu naturally shook his head, and said: "My grandfather studied heaven and man, and my descendants have never achieved everything in my life, so they can't be compared. In my hands, the way of heavenly masters is more important than in the hands of my grandfather..."

Speaking of this, he sighed, and said again: "Oh, it's all Zhang Jiao's fault. If you have the law, you don't use the right way, but you go to rebel, and you hurt the people in the world!"

A Taoist priest cannot be an emperor, so Zhang Jiao's rebellion is doomed to have no good results.

And after his defeat, there is no doubt that the whole world is suppressing Taoism, and Taoist priests have almost become synonymous with "demon".If it weren't for the high-ranking officials and dignitaries who still need Taoists to make alchemy, medicine, and fortune-telling, I am afraid that Taoism will decline because of this.

Yu Ji, one of the three immortals at the end of the Han Dynasty, was beheaded by Sun Ce because of Zhang Jiao's pot.

The ability to pray for rain, the first concept given to others, is that it can be used to rebel.

"However, not everyone dislikes Taoism. Cao Cao and Cao Mengde especially admire my Taoism. They even want to pass on the throne to their descendants after winning the world, and then practice Taoism with me!" Li He said, directly took out Cao Cao's handwriting.

Then, needless to say, Zhang Lu decided to seek refuge after careful consideration.

Exchanging the land of Hanzhong for the status of the state religion, and exchanging temporary hegemony for long-term luck, it is a lucrative deal no matter what.

"I will also give you a promise. After I leave, I will definitely grant the title of national teacher to the contemporary celestial master!" Li He said.

Zhang Lu thanked him immediately.

So there is no doubt that he took the Taoist disciples from all over the world and formally voted for Cao Cao.

However, the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. Originally planned to go back, he pretended to abolish Emperor Han in order to keep Guan Yu, but because of Zhuge Liang's appearance, both Li He and Cao Cao were worried, so they simply abolished Emperor Han.

This means that Cao Cao proclaimed himself emperor directly, and Li He officially ascended to the position of national teacher.

Because of luck, his cultivation base skyrocketed in a short period of time, reaching the same peak as Zhuge Liang.

At the same time, on the other side, Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei contacted the princes, and together with Liu Biao, Sun Quan, and Liu Zhang, formed a "Chibi Alliance" that was many times larger than in the original book. Based on the Yangtze River, they planned to send troops to attack Cao Cao in the north. .

"Very good, they came out all at once, and we just cleaned them up together!" Cao Cao said, and directly assembled an army to meet them.
