Chapter 1144 The Family's Decision
First day, slacking off!
The next day, skipping class!
On the third day, Chen Xi, ah, Chen Xi, how could you be so depraved! Did you forget about the one-month overtime you agreed to work?
Confucius said: I examine myself three times a day! I can't go on like this.
On the fourth day, we went to the theater to watch a play.
On the fifth day, we drank at Manchunlou.
Day 6, fishing...
"Zichuan!" Guo Hao grabbed Chen Xi and said, "Something big has happened!"
"Ah, what's wrong!" Chen Xi looked confused. The plan discussed with several other empires was to set out simultaneously in a month. There should be nothing to happen during this period of time.
Actually, it's not that he doesn't want to work hard, but the implementation of the plan takes time. Even if there is a one-click elf in the game, there must be a buffer time, not to mention the reality. The various plans that were previously launched have just started, so what big thing can happen?
"The angels have sent out troops with about 100,000 men. They are taking place in the territories of the noble families. Several noble families have already begun to fall, and half of the area has completely fallen into the control of the other side. They are expanding their forces!" Guo Hao quickly told Chen Xi about the situation.
Chen Xi's mental strength shook slightly, and he woke up instantly. If the disappearance belonged to someone, then it might mean that there was a traitor among them, or that the God in heaven had reached the critical moment of revival, and the other party was accelerating the accumulation of strength!
"What's going on?" Chen Xi frowned. "Heaven should be blocked. Rome and Great Britain shouldn't leave such a loophole!"
After the agreement was reached, each empire withdrew its personnel, leaving Heaven no chance to grow stronger.
Then they selected some technical backbones to carry out a great secret blockade of heaven, theoretically blocking all spaces except the door between heaven and the main world.
The method is also very simple, just like how Lu Bu had chopped up the space before and caused a spatial chaos storm, it directly disrupted the surrounding space and completely eliminated the possibility of the opponent coming out.
"The Patriarch of the Ji Family was courting death. He wanted to use the power of Heaven to control the power of Zhulong, but he failed. Zhulong's power went out of control, and the power of time ended the space storm ahead of time!"
Guo Hao said with some annoyance that these aristocratic families were really incompetent at anything and were the best at making trouble.
Being able to stir up trouble under the noses of several empires is already impressive, but I didn't expect that I would get myself into trouble.
Zhulong is the ultimate creature at the end of time. It is really a wonderful vision to master his power.
Under normal circumstances, whether they succeeded or failed, they would not say anything and would just bear the consequences themselves. But now this farce has directly caused damage to the Central Asian region, which is what Guo Hao cannot tolerate.
"First, let Huangfu Song send troops to resist and concentrate all the forces. Also, let the army in Kandahar march out to support Huangfu Song. We must beat back all the angels!"
After learning the intelligence, Guo Hao gave the order immediately.
He came to find Chen Xi now for what was to come. The angel would definitely not stay long. When the Yuan family received the news, they would definitely fill in the disrupted space as soon as possible.
Therefore, this group of angels, which are neither big nor small, are definitely no match for Huangfu Song. However, who knows how much loss they will suffer in the process, as they are all labor force.
Just from the time it took to speak, it was estimated that the Parthian side had suffered heavy casualties, but fortunately, most of them were barbarian refugees and Parthian survivors who had just surrendered.
The people of the Han Dynasty were not affected, but even so, they suffered heavy losses, so much so that some aristocratic families were directly struck out. Years of accumulation turned to ashes in an instant, and their former ambitions vanished in an instant. They could only make the pale choice of joining the ranks of Li Shimin and others.
Compared to Li Shimin who has no foundation and needs them, other families will definitely take advantage of them.
Even though they are all relatives and aristocrats, if something goes wrong, these guys will be the first to take advantage of the situation.
But now, having lost their territory and their power, no matter which family they join, they will be devoured by them and not even have a surname left.
If he joins Li Shimin and his men, he might be able to become an important official. After all, they have no foundation and are in need of manpower.
"What did the Ji family say?" Chen Xi asked after pondering for a moment.
"The previous head of the Ji family died in the riot of Zhulong's power. The new head of the Ji family is willing to hand over Zhulong's remaining power!" Jia Xu walked into the hall, and Li Ru followed behind him.
Originally, he and Li Ru were planning to take ruthless action and kill the Ji family directly.
A thousand-year-old family is not a reason to disrupt the development of the Han Empire. It is more valuable for an ancient family like the Ji family to disappear in the long river of history.
But they didn't expect that the new head of the Ji family would offer a bargaining chip that they couldn't refuse.
To put it bluntly, everything in this world cannot escape the word "interest". The head of the Ji family took out something more valuable than those of the aristocratic families in Central Asia, so they fell silent.
They were not sure whether the future message they had received before was related to this.
"Oh? He is a character who figured out the whole thing and handed over the chips for redemption right away. It turns out that not all members of the Ji family are crazy!" Chen Xi raised his eyebrows.
"Judging from your expressions, did the Ji family really take something from Zhulong?" Guo Hao was also a little surprised. These two were not kind people. If it was not a real thing, the Ji family would have been wiped out by now.
"The Ji family has mastered some of the time abilities, and can speed up the flow of time for things in a certain area. Although it can only speed up the flow by 1.5 times, you should understand what this means!"
Li Ru sighed. They also understood the aggrieved feeling Chen Xi had when Xu You used the Heshu Luotu to exchange for Yuan Shao.
The feeling of having to follow the other party's orders is very bad for these wise men. Generally speaking, they let others follow their plans.
"Can it be universal?" Chen Xi knocked on the table. If this was the case, the Ji family would really be qualified to keep it.
"It's not possible with current technology, but according to my analysis, it should be universal in the near future!"
Jia Xu also sighed. He used his spiritual talent to analyze it. With the Ji family's scientific research speed, plus the support from Chen Xi and others, they might be able to succeed within a year.
With this batch of things, farmers' crops made from the essence of heaven and earth can be mass-produced, and some precious medicinal materials and the like can also be sourced.
For the Han Dynasty, it would be an almost comprehensive improvement. If it could be achieved, it could basically increase the development speed of the Han Dynasty by 10%.
One percent may sound like a small amount, but the benefits it brings are almost leapfrog.
This growth may be higher than the treasury revenue in the first few years, and it can truly affect the national foundation.
Moreover, this 10% is the feeling of him and Li Ru. According to their speculation, if Chen Xi is responsible for macro-control, it is possible to increase it by about 10%.
To be honest, this thing is enough to atone for the Yuan family's sins.
"This really poses a difficult problem for us!" Chen Xi knocked on the table. They were basically certain that the Ji family had to be protected.
This benefit is enough to make those aristocratic families die several times.
"I plan to support Li Shimin, Liu Chan and others to continue their expansion. The aristocratic families should move forward under their leadership. This kind of disorderly chaos cannot happen here!" Guo Hao said in a deep voice.
Originally, they thought that giving full play to the subjective initiative of the aristocratic families could expand the culture of the Han Dynasty to the greatest extent and make it take root.
However, unexpectedly, the subjective initiative of the aristocratic families was no longer positive, but even crazy. Guo Hao thought that he should find a leader for these aristocratic families.
For example, the existence of those who have served as emperors in history is not bad. It provides an opponent for the aristocratic families. On the one hand, it stimulates their development speed, and on the other hand, it allows Li Shimin and others to directly restrain the aristocratic families.
Because of the existence of the Han Dynasty, these aristocratic families did not once again develop into the wars of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but there were still undercurrents, and from time to time they would create a lot of fun.
Chen Xi thought this was a good idea. Conflicts would not disappear, but he could divert them first and delay the outbreak of the conflict to the greatest extent. By dragging it out, he would eventually find a solution.
Li Shimin and his men are pretty good. They have always been restraining each other. If this wave of strengthening continues, they will at most enter the stage of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, restricting and fearing each other.
Anyway, the big boss that the Han Dynasty prepared for these aristocratic families was Rome, so it was common sense to effectively integrate these forces.
"Good idea, I think it's great!" Chen Xi nodded. It should be said that although this idea has a strong sense of déjà vu, it does look like a solution.
While the Luoyang side was discussing the aftermath, Central Asia had already started fighting with the angels.
After the initial chaos, the various families quickly banded together and began to unite different groups to deal with the invasion of the angel army.
The angels' methods are terrible. In the occupied areas, all the people will be quickly brainwashed and then convert to the angels' side. The 100,000 royal guards angels will directly snowball, rolling out a large number of younger brothers, and moving towards the surrounding areas at the speed of a locust swarm.
"Damn it! They are digging up our roots!" After finding out that the angels had gathered nearly two to three million people under their command, the head of the Cui family jumped up and cursed.
If a war breaks out, who knows how many people will die. Before they find a solution to the brainwashing problem, they can't really avoid war all the time.
"Where on earth did these guys learn this strategy? Isn't this exactly the same as the way those Huns invaded the border back then?"
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. The noble families who absorbed a part of the Huns, or should now be called the Hu people, all looked unfriendly at the head of the Zhao family who was speaking.
Speaking of which, the Zhao family is also a top-notch family. Like the two Cui families, it has been split into many branches. However, when they went abroad this time, they were all integrated together and possessed power that was not inferior to the Chen, Xun, Cui and Sima families.
More importantly, the Zhao family produced a military genius who was very good at fighting.
In fact, the head of the Zhao family felt a little guilty. After all, it was their family that recruited the most Huns.
They are the ones who are the first to complain. One of their branches, the Zhao family, had a man named Zhao Xin, who was a minor king of the Xiongnu. Later he defected to the Han Dynasty, then surrendered to the Xiongnu after his defeat, and then returned to the Han Dynasty again.
In general, the relationship between them and the Huns was close. After all, when the two empires were fighting, they still traded with each other, and they played the role of middlemen.
However, after the Huns completely lost their spirit, the Zhao family approached Temujin, Kublai Khan, Murong Ke, Oboi and others.
In the end, Temujin, Kublai Khan, and Oboi went to the Kushan Dayuezhi, and Murong Ke surrendered to the Zhao family and changed his name to Zhao Ke.
After all, contestants for the Martial Temple are not easy to come by, but a child was just born in their family, who was born with condensed internal energy. They regarded him as the future of the Zhao family and named him Zhao Kuangyin.
In addition, it seems that the Zhu family and the Dou family have both produced similar geniuses, and they are all planning how to entrust them to the God of War for training.
Especially the Chen family, it seems that there is a genius named Chen Youliang among the newborns.
They were also extremely envious. The Chen family really produced endless monsters. Chen Qun was already one of the top strategists, and later came Chen Xi. Now the next generation has a pillar of the family. It was simply too good to be true.
Nowadays, without a large army to command, even if you establish a kingdom outside, it will probably be someone else's meal.
For a family like the Chen family that is almost on the verge of establishing a top kingdom, it is not impossible for it to establish an empire in the future.
"Stop arguing. Our territories are all in the back. Everyone should show us what you have seen and done. Otherwise, we will not be able to escape the fate of having our families torn apart and our people destroyed!"
Cui Yan, the head of the Cui family, interrupted the meaningless infighting between the heads of these aristocratic families.
They are all grasshoppers on the same rope now. If they keep quarreling, everyone will have to eat grass in the future.
"Our family can send someone to command a large army!" The head of the Zhao family looked left and right, and simply made up his mind to sacrifice Murong Ke.
"Okay, then everyone will be under the command of your Zhao Ke. We don't seek victory, just to hold them off!" Cui Yan said directly.
Now their family is the strongest, so he will preside over the meeting temporarily. Now is not the time to bargain, because they are leading the angels' troops.
"I have contacted the people from the Yuan family. Marquis Yuan said that Luoyang has issued an order. Huangfu Song is leading a large army towards us. We just need to hold out until they arrive!"
After Cui Yan finished speaking, everyone felt relieved. There was really no hope of winning, but if they could delay the battle, there would be plenty of room for maneuver.
If each family brings out something, it should be able to hold out for a while at least.
"In addition to the legion troops, our family has three world-breaking treasures that can explode under the clouds, which is equivalent to a normal world-breaking full-strength attack."
The Zhang family hesitated for a moment, then revealed their own cards.
The relationship between their family and the Taoists cannot be said to be close; they are almost one family. If it were not for the central government's firm attitude, they really would not want to move out.
But after moving out, they found it really great, as they had more things to study.
The boundary-breaking grenade is a side effect product of their research. If used properly, it may change the course of a war.
