Simultaneous travel: City, infinite evolution

Chapter 355 The Unification of the Three Kingdoms [Request for Recommendation Votes]

Perhaps only the Demon Lord of the Demon Realm could satisfy Chen Hong's fist, which was as big as a casserole dish.

As for the Flame Messenger, that's an exceptionally powerful character, and Chen Hong felt he was no match for him yet.

"I still need to cultivate," Chen Hong thought to himself.

An idea popped into his mind: he wanted to increase his strength so that when the Flame Messenger from the Iron Dimension arrived, he could test his strength and find out what his background was.

His strength and ability are too outrageous; even cheating wouldn't be as overpowered as him.

He glanced around at everyone and said, "Alright, now that Yehenara Siti has disappeared, let's talk about other issues."

"First of all, Sun Shangxiang, Sun Ce, your family are from the Iron Dimension, not the Silver Dimension. It's best not to stay in the Silver Dimension for too long."

Once you're ready and have settled all the matters in the Silver Dimension, it would be best if you returned to the Iron Dimension to settle down.

"As for the foundation here in the Silver Dimension, it can only be left to Sun Quan, a local, to manage."

Zhou Yu immediately perked up, realizing that the Sun family was about to change hands, and the transfer of power was no small matter.

Sun Ce and Sun Shangxiang looked at Chen Hong with a sense of helplessness.

Chen Hong explained the issue of spacetime order to them, and they had no choice but to cooperate.

Sun Shangxiang was a little troubled: "Teacher Chen, are you saying that people from different times and spaces cannot become husband and wife?"

"Yes, if we force a combination, disrupting the order of spacetime and violating the laws governing the operation of spacetime, tragedy will occur."

Sun Shangxiang immediately looked at Liu Bei with a sorrowful expression.

Chen Hong immediately understood what she was thinking.

"You don't need to worry about Liu Bei. Actually, he's not the real Liu Bei. His name is Huyan Jue Luo Xiu, and he's from the Iron Dimension."

Like you, I can get married.

"what!"

The five generals stared at their eldest brother in shock.

Sun Shangxiang, on the other hand, was pleasantly surprised by the unexpected turn of events.

Xiu was speechless. Chen Hong was too much trouble, revealing his identity so quickly.

He was really worried that Chen Hong would cause trouble in the Silver Dimension, given how recklessly he was acting.

If he weren't outmatched by Chen Hong, he would have assembled the Iron Guard and sent Chen Hong back to the Gold Dimension.

Faced with the intense gazes of his brothers and Ah Xiang, Xiu could only cough dryly.

"Ahem, that's right. I am not the real Liu Bei. I am Xiu, the leader of the East City Guard in the Iron Dimension."

Guan Yu asked with a serious expression, "Brother, where is the real Liu Bei? And when did you start working with us?"

"It was on the day we became sworn brothers that a huge rock fell from the sky and seriously injured Liu Bei."

That big rock was the result of a chain reaction caused by a friend of mine accidentally dropping a coin into it.

In order to maintain the order of time and space, we had no choice but to send the real Liu Bei to another time and space for treatment, and I temporarily took over Liu Bei's identity to maintain the order of time and space.

Second brother, don't worry, Liu Bei is fine. He's just badly injured and still receiving treatment. Please don't do anything rash or try to take your own life.

Fearing that Guan Yu would once again die on the same day, month, and year, Xiu hurriedly tried to dissuade him.

Guan Yu breathed a sigh of relief. According to this logic, it was actually Liu Bei, their good brother who had always shared joys and sorrows, who was the real Xiu.

Emotionally speaking, Guan Yu and others naturally felt a deeper connection to Xiu than to the real Liu Bei, with whom they had hardly ever spent any time.

They and Xiu Cai were true brothers, not Liu Bei.

No one cared whether Xiu was Liu Bei or not; they only cared whether Xiu was the true brother who had shared hardships with them.

Apart from Guan Yu, who was too loyal and asked a few more questions about the real Liu Bei, the others didn't care at all.

"Alright, now that this matter is settled, let's return to Dong Han Academy."

Chen Hong clapped his hands. "Xiu, you will temporarily take on Liu Bei's identity and maintain the order of time and space."

"Once Liu Bei returns, you and Ah Xiang can settle down back in the Iron Dimension."

"Okay." Xiu could only nod.

To be honest, after spending so much time together, he was reluctant to part ways with his brothers so soon.

With the gentle breeze carrying them along, the group quickly returned to the Eastern Han Academy.

Chen Hong, on the other hand, went to see a famous doctor and copied and studied all the medical knowledge of the doctor and Hua Tuo.

Then they brought back Hua Tuo, a medical genius.

This Hua Tuo was extremely skilled at making medicines with strange and unusual effects; his medical skills were simply beyond the realm of common sense.

He is a talented individual and would be very suitable to join Chen Hong's research team to study medical techniques from various worlds and develop all kinds of medicines.

Chen Hong plans to establish a cross-time-space research organization to collect geniuses from the twelve time-spaces and study all sorts of strange and unusual things.

Such a collision of intellectual sparks is bound to yield many results. After all, comedic characters are terrifying, and comedic scientists are even more formidable, ignoring all sorts of scientific rules as perceived by ordinary people.

Chen Hongshun also brought back Zhuge Liang, who wasn't particularly capable but had an incredible amount of luck.

Unlike the historical Zhuge Liang, who was known for his wisdom, resourcefulness, and exceptional domestic skills, this Zhuge Liang was not particularly capable.

But his luck was so good that he would say things that seemed useless, and they would come true in all sorts of nonsensical ways, making people think that he was right and that he was an extremely intelligent sage.

In Chen Hong's view, this attribute was actually very valuable; it was practically a super lucky charm.

Chen Hong lured him over and carefully studied the source of his good fortune, gaining a deeper understanding of concepts and laws such as luck, probability, fortune, and cause and effect.

Keeping this guy around is basically a guarantee of success. For experiments that require luck, you can have him step in, and the success rate will definitely be even higher.

After returning to Dong Han Academy, Chen Hong also found Huang Yueying, a legendary talented woman who was a first-year student.

Unlike Zhuge Liang's simplicity, Huang Yueying was a true genius. She always ranked first in exams from childhood and was also particularly skilled in various mechanical devices and unusual arts.

Moreover, she was naturally rebellious and particularly concerned about the weak and vulnerable. Dissatisfied with the school system and educational philosophy of Dongwu Academy, she dropped out of school and came to Donghan Academy to study.

How could Chen Hong let such a genius go?
He directly used his wealth and power to open several welfare homes and nursing homes to help orphans and the elderly.

They even made a grand promise to her, saying they would promote the establishment of a comprehensive welfare home and nursing home system across the entire school alliance, spreading it throughout various regions.

And it promoted the passage of the Anti-Bullying Act to protect vulnerable students.

Huang Yueying was very tempted by what she heard and readily agreed to join Chen Hong's organization to do research for him.

In reality, the school-wide alliance was essentially defunct by this point; it had little power left, and even its money was almost gone.

Therefore, Chen Hong plans to completely upgrade the old machine of the entire school alliance, from top to bottom and inside to outside.

Those old and powerful families, clans, and even imperial relatives should all be eliminated and sorted out.

Even the system needs a complete overhaul.

Otherwise, the Eastern Han Dynasty would have ended sooner or later, leading to the Three Kingdoms period, where bloodshed would have resulted in the survival of only one in ten, benefiting the Xiongnu barbarians. Then, the Jin Dynasty would have been incompetent, and the chaos of the Five Barbarian Invasions would have been repeated.

Although the Silver Dimension is quite peculiar, and these things will be presented in the form of high school life, the general trend is still similar.

In order to prevent chaos and bloodshed that could displace people, Chen Hong decided to intervene, at least to reduce the intensity of the war and minimize bloodshed.

Just then, under Dong Zhuo's meddling, the conflict between the Ten Attendants and General He Jin intensified rapidly.

Yuan Shao was a member of He Jin's faction. To be precise, He Jin was a puppet leader put forward by the aristocratic families to fight against the eunuch group.

When He Jin ignored advice and entered the palace, where he was killed by the Ten Attendants, Yuan Shao decisively led his troops into the palace and killed the Ten Attendants.

Next, Yuan Shao wanted to support the young emperor, control the court, become prime minister, and kill Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo, of course, would not surrender easily. Taking advantage of the chaos, the cunning Dong Zhuo mobilized his troops into Chang'an.

He directly suppressed Yuan Shao with the strongest military power and strength, and then pulled a decisive move by deposing the young emperor and supporting Emperor Xian to ascend the throne.

As soon as Emperor Xian ascended the throne, Dong Zhuo could not restrain himself and seized control of this puppet, appointing himself as prime minister.

Then he drove Yuan Shao out of the court and took control of the government.

If it weren't for the immense power of the Yuan family, Dong Zhuo would have truly wanted to go all the way and kill Yuan Shao.

Unfortunately, the foundation is not yet stable, and Dong Zhuo does not dare to touch the Yuan family, which has held high office for four generations, lest he incur the wrath of the masses.

They had no choice but to send him away and instead try to win over the court officials.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Yuan Shao left Chang'an and returned to his own territory, he rallied 17 universities to jointly attack Dong Zhuo, intending to start a full-scale war in the Central Plains.

Chen Hong naturally could not allow Yuan Shao to stir up trouble.

Therefore, Chen Hong went all out, bringing together the three major forces of Wei, Shu, and Wu—Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and Liu Bei—and joining forces with his servant Dong Zhuo to take down the Yuan family first.

Under Chen Hong's suppression, coupled with the coordination of Zhou Yu and Cao Cao, Zhuge Liang's good fortune, and the joint edict of Emperor Xian and Emperor Shao, the Yuan Shao 17-route allied forces with differing intentions were quickly routed.

The battle will decide the fate of the nation, minimizing casualties to the greatest extent possible.

In the aftermath, the imperial court launched a comprehensive reform, beginning a major purge of the biggest problem in the Eastern Han Dynasty—the super-groups of landlords, powerful clans, and aristocratic families.

These people were the root cause of the decline and corruption of the Eastern Han Dynasty. They seized too much national interest and undermined the country's foundation. Land grabbing and concealing household registrations were just basic practices for them.

By the late Eastern Han Dynasty, promotion channels had long been blocked, and there was no communication between the upper and lower classes.

The sons of noble families are always considered noble. With a little gilding and some manipulation to cultivate their reputation, they can easily enter the imperial court as officials.

For those from poor families, it's already a blessing to become a minor official; even then, they still have to beg for food on their knees.

Becoming an official? Forget about it.

This is why Cao Cao and Liu Bei were able to gather a large number of incredibly talented strategists, generals, and virtuous men around them.

The reason is simple: they simply cannot enter the imperial court system or be served at the tables of powerful families.

The entire court was a private domain of corrupt and incompetent people, so talented individuals naturally had no choice but to seek refuge with powerful and ruthless individuals, hoping to obtain an official position, make some achievements, and secure a position for their wives and children.
