The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

Chapter 66 I control destiny!

Familiar...right?

Among the scholars, most of them are familiar with each other.

Not to mention that Zhong Yao and Xun You were both from Yingchuan County and were fellow townsmen, so they must have been even closer.

But if you ask how familiar they are... Zhong Yao only knew that Xun You had an uncle named Xun Yu who was younger than him, and he didn't know much about other things.

"Good! I will go to the Imperial Prison to see Xun You later. Yuan Chang, you can go with me."

Zhong Yao didn't know why Liu Xie thought of Xun You at this time, but he nodded and agreed.

After asking Xun You, Liu Xie looked at Niu Fu with some depression.

For people like Zhong Yao and Zhang Liao, Liu Xie only needed to give them a few words of comfort, and they would immediately get rid of their fear and start working with peace of mind.

Only Niu Fu!

While Zhong Yao was bathing, Liu Xie talked so much that his lips were almost sore, but he refused to let Niu Fu relax. He still looked nervous, as if he was afraid that others would not know that something big had happened.

"Liang Bi, I just said it. Although Ma Teng and Han Sui have invaded our borders, there is no need to panic."

"Chencang in the west is not as strategic as Hangu Pass and Wuguan Pass in the east, but it is still a famous pass. As long as we defend it properly, we may be able to repel the enemy."

To put it clearly, as long as Niu Fu transferred the 3,000 soldiers guarding Chang'an over there, they could at least hold out for a while.

If they are lucky, Hedong might be able to achieve victory, return to support in an orderly manner, and stabilize the situation in Guanzhong.

But Niu Fu refused to do so even if he died!

"How can we resist tens of thousands of enemy troops with only three thousand soldiers?"

Not only that, Niu Fu also revealed a little quirk of his own in a very depressed manner: "I asked a fortune teller to tell my fortune before, but I got a Kan hexagram, which is an ominous call! How can I send troops now and actively seek disaster?"

Niu Fu was superstitious and loved divination before a battle.

According to the I Ching, the Kan hexagram is composed of two overlapping Kans. Kan represents water and danger. The two Kans stacked on top of each other add danger upon danger, and there are many obstacles. This is indeed the worst hexagram among the sixty-four hexagrams.

But Liu Xie was speechless after hearing this.

How could a general who commanded thousands of soldiers be obsessed with witchcraft?
If generals rely on the will of heaven and divination to fight, then what is the point of military books? What is the point of temple divination?
Zhang Liao and Zhong Yao on the side also looked at Niu Fu with slightly disdainful eyes.

Zhang Liao, in particular, wished he could just step forward and snatch Niu Fu's military token and lead his troops to resist the enemy.

"I understand. The most important affairs of the country are sacrifice and war. It is understandable that Liangbi was worried about the hexagram before the war."

A general is the courage of his soldiers.

Divination is something that can be said to be useful, but that’s not entirely true.

It can be said that it is useless, but it can give people great psychological hints.

If Niu Fu always thought "this battle is doomed to fail" on the battlefield, the soldiers under his command would not be able to muster up the courage to win.

"But Liangbi, you know that this sacrificial ceremony is not something that everyone can do."

Liu Xie took out a few five-zhu coins from his arms.

"I am the Son of Heaven. So I must perform the sacrifice no matter what."

"Using ordinary hexagrams is too complicated, so why don't I use five-zhu coins instead?"

Liu Xie clenched a few Wuzhu coins and said, "I will throw them up. If they fall with all the shiny sides facing up, it means that the Mandate of Heaven is with Han. We will win this battle!"

"On the contrary, if the characters on a five-zhu coin face up, it means that this battle will be difficult and it will be hard to win. I wonder if Liangbi is willing to believe this divination?"

The Wuzhu coin has a side with inscription "Wuzhu" engraved on it; there is also a smooth side without any inscriptions on it.

Even though Niu Fu had never studied probability, he knew how small the probability was of several Wuzhu coins facing up at the same time, so after hesitating for a while, he nodded and agreed.

Liu Xie is right.

He is the emperor!
His sacrifice should be the most accurate!

How can the other fortune tellers and alchemists compare with Liu Xie?
"Okay! Then I will start divination!"

Liu Xie threw all the five-zhu coins upwards, letting them fall freely on the table. Ding ding dong dong!

……

These five-zhu coins were extremely naughty. Several of them kept jumping on the table and refused to stop.

Even after it fell, it was still spinning in circles, attracting everyone's attention.

After a long time, these five-zhu coins finally lay scattered on the table in front of Liu Xie, and there was no change in them.

Niu Fu, Zhong Yao, and Zhang Liao couldn't help but stick their heads out to take a look.

But the next moment, they didn't even dare to breathe!
The few Wuzhu coins thrown by Liu Xie just now were all facing up!

The copper surface was so smooth that it could almost reflect the faces of several people, making them unable to believe their eyes.

Zhang Liao was the first to react and knelt down hastily.

The Emperor of the Han Dynasty was indeed born sacred!
"Long live your Majesty!"

Zhong Yao and Niu Fu also knelt down immediately.

"Long live your Majesty!"

"The Mandate of Heaven is with Han!"

Especially Niu Fu.

The fear and cowardice just now disappeared completely!

His eyes were full of fanaticism and fighting spirit surged throughout his body. He was completely different from the person just now!

"Liang Bi is now like the Grand Master's right-hand man, like a fierce general commanding a mighty army!"

Liu Xie smiled and put away the five-zhu coins on the table: "How is it? Liangbi now thinks we can win?"

Niu Fu bowed and said: "Since the emperor himself predicted it, it must be a victory!"

Liu Xie nodded with satisfaction.

"In this case, the safety of the west depends entirely on Liang Bi."

"Also, the fortune teller in your family..."

When Niu Fu heard Liu Xie mention that man, his eyes suddenly turned fierce: "I understand! He must be a fake alchemist who is swindling people! I will skin him alive and feed him to the dogs as soon as I get back!"

His hexagram is completely opposite to the emperor's hexagram!
What else could this kind of person be but a liar?
Liu Xie did not plead for the other party either.

Not to mention that witchcraft itself is harmful to people.

The most important thing is, you, a fortune teller, told the commander-in-chief that the war was going to be unfavorable on the eve of the war?
Don't even mention that you are a fake god. Even if you are a real god, Liu Xie will skin you alive for something that disrupts the morale of the army.

Liu Xie sent Niu Fu to mobilize the troops, and summoned Zhong Yao, asking him to get ready to go to the imperial prison to see Xun You.

Zhong Yao was still somewhat in awe of the emperor who had just demonstrated his "divinity".

However, this did not prevent him from advising, "Your Majesty, military and national affairs must not be decided by divination in the future!"

"Even if the destiny is with Han, we should not be so dependent on it!"

But Liu Xie just smiled mysteriously after hearing this.

Then, he threw a five-zhu coin to Zhong Yao.

"Yuan Chang is wrong."

"I have never relied on fate."

"I have always been in control of my own destiny!"
