Magic High School.

"Revive Han!"

Chapter 81 The Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties: Absurdity and Drug Use

In the end, the slogans of "Revive Han" turned into a wave, and these junior officers shouted them louder and more enthusiastically than the last.

Some people are even starting to have ideas that if they march into Luoyang, they might be able to... gain merit by supporting the emperor!

In that instant, adrenaline was released as if it were free, and everyone's eyes turned bloodshot and they were panting heavily.

Prime Minister Sima, I desperately want to advance! I dream about it!

These people were the loudest in shouting "Revive the Han Dynasty." If Yi Lian, disguised as Sima Zhao, were by her side, they would probably want to drape a yellow jacket over her.

In that instant, all the Shu brocade and gold and silver that had just been displayed were generously distributed as rewards. The Wei soldiers were overjoyed, and at the same time, they were furious at the traitor who had caused chaos in Luoyang and kidnapped the emperor.

With the performance concluded, the entire Wei army was completely under the control of "Sima Zhao".

Jiang Wei took a deep breath, and the next moment, his eyes became very firm, that was, to launch a lightning attack on Chang'an.

Now that the play was over, Yi Lian had lost all the charisma she had when she played Sima Zhao. She immediately adopted the demeanor of a cunning and mercenary merchant and said, "General, I have something good here called painkiller. It can make soldiers feel no pain for a short time!"

Before Jiang Wei could even react with shock, Valerie, standing nearby, nearly cried out in surprise.

"Shh, don't cause trouble! Communicate using the system channel!"

“Yilian, Yilian, is this painkiller some kind of magic potion?” Valerie immediately said.

"Don't talk nonsense. Didn't I drink the holy water from the Datong Cult during the last exam? You saw it," Yilian explained.

"what?"

"As a water elemental spirit, I have thoroughly understood most of the ingredients of that holy water. Although I cannot make an exact replica, these few medicinal herbs in the Shu Han medicine storehouse, diluted a hundred times, are enough to make a talismanic water that allows soldiers to temporarily forget their pain," Yi Lian explained.

Although the holy water of the Datong Church in the last century was all hallucinogens, hallucinogens can be diluted to become painkillers, greatly reducing side effects. Everything has two sides, and it is good to use it for the right purpose.

"Ah, how do you replicate it?" Valerie asked immediately.

"This is the secret of the water elemental spirits, but I only understood it after looking at the Shu Han's medicine storehouse. These medicines are enough for me to make a large quantity of painkillers within a few days." After Yi Lian finished explaining, the two of them were essentially exchanging glances on the campus channel. Then, they turned to look at Jiang Wei.

"General, this is the most important step. Blitzkrieg requires soldiers to be fast and unexpected. These painkillers are more effective than you think. I suggest that the people you still have control over in Shu Han use my method to urgently prepare these painkillers. They can relieve the soldiers' pain and even give them the illusion that their wounds have healed. You should understand how useful this stuff is on the battlefield, right?"

Jiang Wei fell silent for a moment. If there really were a medicine that could make soldiers forget their pain, then…

What a terrifying army this will be!

Therefore, even though his few troops would have to be dispersed, Jiang Wei still agreed to the plan. He allocated the last manpower to make painkillers and completely emptied the Shu Han imperial palace of Shu brocade, gold, silver and even medicinal materials to secure this last chance.

The Wei army began to reorganize, giving these junior officers time to distribute their wealth to their subordinates. At the same time, it was also the last time for Shu Han to produce diluted painkillers.

Starting tomorrow, we will march on Luoyang and launch a blitzkrieg against Chang'an!

……

Meanwhile, Sima Zhao has been feeling uneasy lately.

Even though Shu Han had been destroyed and Deng Ai was imprisoned, the immense credit for conquering Shu was entirely attributed to the Sima family.

In fact, the conquest of Shu was entirely due to the aftermath of Cao Mao being killed in the street like a dog. The Sima family needed a tremendous achievement to silence the gossips, which is why they launched the war to destroy Shu.

Originally, this battle was not intended to destroy Shu in one fell swoop. Sima Zhao's initial thought was that if he could recover Hanzhong, it would be a great achievement, and the matter of killing Cao Mao could naturally be put behind him.

However, what he didn't expect was that Deng Ai, that fool, directly destroyed Shu in one fell swoop! This is the reason why Deng Ai had to die. If Deng Ai hadn't died, the Sima family would never have been able to replace Wei as emperor.

Therefore, even though he knew that Deng Ai was his loyal follower, Deng Ai had to die so that the glory of conquering Shu would belong to the Sima family.

It was only because Sima Zhao personally came to the front line and had his army hold off Jiang Wei at Jiange that Deng Ai had the opportunity to destroy Shu. As a result, Sima Zhao himself was even injured and fell ill.

But it was all worth it. With Zhong Hui and Deng Ai dead, the world would fall to the Sima family, and he could follow the same path as Cao Pi in becoming emperor, forcing the current Cao Huan to abdicate in his favor and establishing the Jin Dynasty.

Of course, this will be more than ten years later, ideally when Eastern Wu has also been destroyed.

But for some reason, I always felt uneasy, not towards Shu Han, but towards Luoyang...

What will happen in Luoyang?

It's impossible that former officials of Cao Wei still have any lingering affection for Cao Wei.

"Prime Minister, it's getting cold, and you're still injured. Please put on some more clothes." Jia Chong, knowing full well what was going on, draped a yellow jacket over Sima Zhao's shoulders and advised him to rest and recover.

Sima Zhao wrapped his clothes tighter around himself. In March, the Qinling Mountains, especially at the foot of the Aoshan-Taibaishan line, were so cold that it made one shiver.

He glanced at Luoyang, hoping only that Cao Huan wouldn't follow in Cao Mao's footsteps...

Otherwise...

……

Meanwhile, Li Ge and Xiao Ye rushed to Luoyang.

Even at top speed, Chengdu was still more than a thousand kilometers away from Luoyang. Later, Li Ge and Yi Lian even began to dislike the horse's speed and stamina, so they abandoned the horse and the two superhumans began to travel on their own at a speed far exceeding that of the horse.

At this moment, the school's gravity training and physical training played a decisive role.

Even so, it still took the two three days to reach Luoyang.

Compared to the chaotic Chengdu, Luoyang was incredibly peaceful and prosperous at this time.

Although the shadow of war still looms overhead, the entire city of Luoyang is filled with leisure and tranquility.

People openly consume Wushisan (a type of Chinese medicine) in the streets, reciting poems and composing verses, their mouths full of Jian'an style and Wei Wu's writing. Occasionally, a person who has taken too much medicine will compose a good poem, which will draw cheers from others, who will pour Wushisan into their wine and drink it first as a sign of respect.

Seeing this scene, Li Ge was speechless.

Is the school issuing this message to warn them about the dangers of drug use?

And in this era, has Wushisan already become so widespread that it has become a fashionable snack?

It's as if one isn't a human being if they don't take Wushi San (a type of Chinese herbal medicine).

Li Ge knew that it was common for people to take Wushisan (a type of Chinese medicine) during the Jin Dynasty. Many people even took Wushisan and wine as if they were eating, making them the sick men of the Jin Dynasty. That's why it was so shameful for the Jin Dynasty to move south.

But I never expected that the Great Wei Dynasty would be completely destroyed before the Five Stone Powder had become so widespread?

Some people, after taking Wushisan (a type of drug), became dissolute and even had affairs with maids in public. The maids would cover themselves with their bodies, and only their voices could be heard.

Li Ge and Xiao Ye: "..."

Damn it, it would be an injustice if the Great Jin Dynasty didn't collapse!

Li Ge sighed, suddenly realizing that in Guo Jia's time, Wushi San had already become a fashionable snack, and Guo Jia himself was suspected of dying suddenly from an overdose of Wushi San.

That's alright then. I never expected that the practice of using Five-Stone Powder could be traced back to the era of Cao Cao and Guo Jia.

The Great Jin Dynasty hasn't even been officially established yet, but it already looks like it's about to play around.

The two looked at this unfamiliar capital city. They had to face their mission: how to contact the former officials of Cao Wei, and how to rescue Liu Shan...

Chapter 82 The Storm Rises in Luoyang

Although the Jin Dynasty had not even been formally established yet, and Sima Yan was still just a young master from a noble family, the atmosphere in Luoyang was already comparable to that of the late Qing Dynasty.

Li Ge even had the idea that even without the War of the Eight Princes, our Great Jin Dynasty probably wouldn't have survived for more than a hundred years.

Not far away, they discovered a very important area on the map.

Jinyong City, a name not widely known in later generations, is home to the famous Bronze Sparrow Terrace, and is also the place where Cao Fang was deposed and where Cao Huan later abdicated to Sima Yan.

It can be said that this is the "place where the Sima family rose to power". However, at this time, it is deserted and almost deserted. Even the weeds inside are neglected. The walls are even more dilapidated than the poor and remote areas of Shu Han.

This place was actually the most suitable place for them to hide, because although it was nominally still the territory of the Cao Wei emperor, it was actually controlled by the Sima family. The people of Cao Wei had no power to come here, and the people of the Sima family felt that this place was ominous. Over time, this place was completely abandoned.

Perhaps when Sima Yan seizes the throne next year, he will realize that the Bronze Sparrow Terrace here is the best place.

The meeting place between Li Ge and Xiao Ye was actually this dark, shadowy spot.

The two exchanged a glance and then said, "We'll split up to gather intelligence. I'll be in charge of finding Cao Wei's old subordinates, and you'll be in charge of finding Liu Shan's location. We plan to hold a secret meeting here tomorrow night."

Xiao Ye nodded, and was about to slip into the shadows as usual when Li Ge suddenly said, "By the way, let's also check on the surrendered generals of Shu Han. Do they have any ideas?"

Li Ge was also a bit confused. Those who could be captured and brought to Luoyang at this time were basically the Shu Han's "lying down" faction, with Liu Shan as the leader.

In fact, Li Ge didn't even want to care about Liu Shan. Although Liu Shan's reputation gradually improved in later generations, it was still generally negative, and it was highly likely that his return to Shu Han would have a negative effect.

However, there was no other way; without Liu Shan, the alliance between Li Ge and Jiang Wei would have collapsed instantly.

In fact, it still comes down to this: if it were a few years earlier, before Cao Mao died, Li Ge would have even dared to go all in on Cao Mao and try to use him to turn the tables on the Sima family.

But for now, let's forget about that good-for-nothing Cao Huan.

"Forget it, never mind what I said. Rather than relying on those surrendered generals from Shu Han, we might as well rely on Jiang Wei's covert network," Li Ge complained.

The fact that Jiang Wei was able to deliver the secret letter to Liu Shan in Luoyang proves that he at least had his own intelligence team and a few capable people in Luoyang, who were even more reliable than the surrendered generals of Shu Han.

"Oh right, take this." Li Ge tossed Jiang Wei's keepsake to Xiao Ye; this was the one she needed most.

"Be careful, don't die." Xiaoye said, hiding completely in her shadow cloak.

"Don't worry, I'm not that easy to kill. If things get complicated, I'll just go and beg for Godfather's help." Li Ge smiled and then said, "Speaking of which, what would happen to me if I died here?"

"I'm not sure, but even if they don't die, they'll probably still suffer very serious injuries," Xiaoye said.

So the two split up and planned to meet up here the next day.

……

A day later, at dusk near the Bronze Sparrow Terrace, only a few people had come in to clean up and then left. The entire Bronze Sparrow Terrace was deserted at this time.

The air in the distance seemed to be filled with the smell of Wushisan (a type of Chinese herbal medicine), and Li Ge walked into Tongquetai with a grim expression.

He had assumed that there should still be some former Cao Wei officials in Luoyang. After all, the Jin Dynasty was inherited entirely from the Cao Wei regime. In any case, since our Great Wei is still alive, there should still be some people from Cao Wei, right?

However, after investigating, he suddenly discovered that there were no Cao Wei people at all; they had all become lackeys of the Sima family, to a degree comparable to that of the Chinese in the United States.

This is actually because Li Ge's knowledge of history during this period is poor. Those who were loyal to Cao Wei launched the Three Rebellions in Huainan several years ago, and those who remained loyal to Cao Wei in the end were Cao Mao and his personal guards.

However, Cao Mao was killed in the street, dying like a roadside animal. This meant that the last strength of Cao Wei had been exhausted. From then on, Luoyang was left with only sycophants and opportunists.

In other words, even if he wanted to incite chaos in Luoyang, no one would play along with him.

What happened to all those former subordinates of Cao Wei? After the Incident at Gaoping Tombs, they defected one after another. Li Ge couldn't even imagine why the descendants of those heroes who were so well-known in the early days of Cao Wei were all such scoundrels.

Now that things have come to this, Li Ge can only try to sneak into Cao Wei's palace to do something big.

But when Li Ge saw that Xiao Ye's expression was even worse, she asked, "What's wrong? What's going on over there?"
