Free Web NovelChapter 182: Qingluan Divine Bird
Diao Chan, with a worried expression, was like Chang’e, the fairy maiden in the clear autumn moon of the heavens.
She was cool and stunning, aloof from worldly affairs.
At this moment,
Long Chen was actually stunned!
How could there be such a beautiful and charming woman in the world...
But fortunately, she was his own!
Long Chen walked over, and when Diao Chan heard the movement, she raised her face, fairer than snow, with delicate eyebrows.
Seeing it was her husband returning, Diao Chan changed her previous aloofness, her eyes softening with a smile, and softly said:
"Husband, you’re back!"
The hint of surprise in her tone couldn’t be concealed.
Instinctively, Long Chen touched her head, running his hand over her three thousand strands of hair tied up with a hairband. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Softly he said: "Yes, I’m back. Did you miss me?"
A blush rose on Diao Chan’s cheeks, and she buried her head in Long Chen’s arms like a cute little kitten, whispering:
"Missed~missed husband so much~~"
After a tender moment, holding the soft and warm body in his arms, Long Chen gently asked:
"Chan’er, why did you urgently call me back? Is something wrong?"
"Well, husband, my adoptive father received a letter from Chang’an City!"
At these words, Long Chen’s brows furrowed, and he asked in confusion:
"But isn’t Chang’an City sealed off by Dong Zhuo? How could your father send out letters?"
Due to Dong Zhuo’s information blockade in Chang’an, even the foreign players trapped there couldn’t send letters or messages.
It was like their communications were being blocked, which was Dong Zhuo’s special benefit as the early boss of "The Grand Lord."
And the consequence of this was that other foreign players couldn’t find out what was happening inside Chang’an.
It was also difficult to coordinate with the rebel forces inside and outside the city to resist Dong Zhuo!
Hearing her husband’s confusion, Diao Chan smiled, her smile like the most sacred lotus flower in full bloom, indescribably beautiful.
She explained:
"Husband, guess what this is?"
Diao Chan closed her beautiful eyes, her hands forming a seal, and a pink spiritual energy condensed into a small butterfly shadow, gently flapping its wings and flying out the window.
Soon,
A small bird flew in from the window.
Although the bird was small, it was elegant and even had a faint aura that could refresh the soul.
The bird’s body was like the peacocks Long Chen had seen in his previous life, but different, like the phoenix in ancient myths.
Long Chen was puzzled, shook his head, and waited for Diao Chan to continue.
Diao Chan let the bird land on her fingertip and explained softly:
"Husband, this bird is called the Blue Phoenix Bird. It’s a four-star magical beast, but it’s very gentle in temperament. It’s the sacred bird raised by the former Grand Commandant Yang Biao."
"Its speed is as fast as lightning, and it has the ability to change its appearance. It’s truly extraordinary! This time, my adoptive father is using it to send messages."
Upon hearing this,
Long Chen was greatly shocked,
At this moment, a prompt sounded in his mind from the system:
"Ding! Detected a four-star magical beast, the Blue Phoenix Bird. Would you like to view related information?"
Long Chen clicked yes.
"【Blue Phoenix Bird】: Also known as the Azure Phoenix, it is a legendary blue-colored phoenix-like divine bird."
"There’s an ancient saying: ’In the western mountains, two hundred and twenty miles west, lies the Mountain of Three Perils, where the Three Azure Birds reside.’"
"The Blue Phoenix is a divine bird, and the Blue Phoenix Bird is one of the Five Phoenixes."
Seeing this introduction, Long Chen gradually recalled a kind of divine bird called the Blue Phoenix Bird in the myths of his previous life.
It seemed to be the mount of the Queen Mother of the West and was used to deliver messages for her.
Wow, the Yang family really is a top-notch noble family, to have such a divine bird.
With this bird, it also meant having a means of clairvoyance or long-distance communication.
For the rapidly changing battlefield, this bird was indeed a key to unexpected victory.
Longing for it, Long Chen remembered the main matter and asked seriously:
"By the way, what did your father say in the letter?"
"Father-in-law says that the tyrant Dong Zhuo of the Western Liang is cruel and unrighteous, and the people and the emperor are living in dire straits."
"In his words, there is a suggestion for you to go to Luoyang City..."
Diao Chan said softly, although she couldn’t bear for her adoptive father to be trapped in Chang’an, she was even more unwilling to let her husband fall into danger in Chang’an.
Therefore, Diao Chan was currently very conflicted...
"Bring the letter and let me see it."
As he looked at the letter in his hand, Long Chen’s brows first furrowed, then gradually relaxed.
Because while Wang Yun was describing Dong Zhuo’s atrocities, he also outlined the plan to implement the stratagem of continuous tactics.
Thinking back to the plot development in the Three Kingdoms, a gleam of light flashed in Long Chen’s eyes.
Continuous tactics!
If this plan could succeed, then Dong Zhuo was not far from being stabbed to death by Lu Bu!
By then, once Dong Zhuo was killed, the Western Liang group would be leaderless and would disintegrate.
Dong Zhuo’s generals, such as Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou, would each lead their own troops.
They would prepare to flee back to Anyang, Western Liang for refuge. However, at this time, Jia Xu would come out with a plan.
He ordered these generals from the Western Liang region to gather together and lead their troops to counterattack Chang’an!
If it follows the Three Kingdoms closely, then Lu Bu will be ambushed and defeated, and my father-in-law Wang Yun will also die because of this...
The entire situation of the Eastern Han Dynasty will undergo a huge change as a result.
Thinking of this,
Long Chen immediately instructed the guards beside him to bring over Guo Jia and Xi Zhi Cai to discuss this matter together.
This might be a huge stepping stone for Long Chen’s future development. If he could cross it, Long Chen’s overall strength would receive a huge boost and complement!
Just imagine the disintegrating Western Liang Iron Cavalry Regiment. If Long Chen could obtain some of their soldiers and horses, his cavalry would greatly expand.
Their combat capability would rapidly increase!
No longer would they fear fighting on plains because the main force of Long Chen’s army now consisted of infantry, such as his second-tier special units, the Yellow Turban Warriors, and even third-tier units like the Yellow Turban Samurai.
And the elite soldiers of Danyang were all adept at mountain warfare.
If they had to fight on plains, they would suffer greatly against the terrifying cavalry legions.
The key point was the terrifying combat power of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry, which Long Chen had long coveted.
Apart from the Western Liang Iron Cavalry, there were also many talented generals and advisers in the Western Liang group, each one a huge treasure trove.
For example, there was Zhang Xiu, the Spear King of the Northern Territories, also known as Xiu Er, who was a disciple of the spear god Tong Yuan, just like Zhao Yun.
The difference was that one was an ordinary disciple, and the other was a closed-door disciple.
And there was the strategist Long Chen valued the most - Jia Xu, Jia Wenhan!!!
This man was truly one of the most adept at protecting himself in the Three Kingdoms, and he eventually lived out his old age peacefully.
He was truly one of the strategists Long Chen admired the most!!
In addition,
Long Chen also valued Wang Yun’s life and death!
After all, Wang Yun had given him tremendous assistance in his early days.
As the saying goes: "Gratitude for a drop of water should be repaid with a gushing spring."
Moreover, setting aside this relationship, Long Chen also needed to consider his image to the outside world.
