Chapter 126 Variables(1/2)
Author: It’s so hard to get an ID
In the end, the caravan did not stay in Chang'an for too long. On the third day, the caravan, which had completed its supplies, set off towards Lanzhou in the west.
It's not that everyone doesn't want to rest more, but after the caravan stopped outside Luoyang City, it felt like a chicken had gotten into the fox's den.
Camping on the official road, although there is no village or shop in front of me, it feels quite lonely, but there are not many passers-by.
Whether the caravan is on patrol during the day or on night duty, it is pretty good and relaxed.
It's different here. There are at least tens of thousands of refugees outside Chang'an City, and they are all kinds of people.
From morning to night every day, hundreds of pairs of eyes stare at the caravan.
Gulu stared at the caravan's goods, Gulu stared at everyone coming in and out, Gulu stared at everyone cooking and eating, Gulu stared at everyone sleeping and resting.
In such a creepy environment, few people can sleep peacefully and eat well.
It's really better to go to the wilderness, at least I can feel more relaxed.
Huang Xiaoshi heard people say that Lanzhou in the west was even more miserable, and almost all the food available was eaten by the refugees. So Huang Xiaoshi made a prompt decision and filled up all the remaining transport capacity at a price that was 20 to 30% higher than the market price.
After adapting to the daily forward speed of sixty miles, Huang Xiaoshi decided not to slow down yet. This distance was like a walk for livestock.
As for the disciples, they are probably used to it.
Huang Xiaoshi felt that this shipment really had to go as fast as possible.
First, since it was to deliver medicine to the imperial court, all the money and effort were spent, so we had to provide help in the most critical moment, just to get the idea. Wait until the war was completely over and the wounded were gone, and then we slowly came to this point.
It's like flattering someone on the hooves.
Second, the situation is too chaotic. Finish selling the goods early and go home early to squat in peace. It’s not that Huang Xiaoshi is timid, but it’s a completely different feeling to wander around alone than to wander around with hundreds of people.
.
This is the time when the situation is changing. Huang Xiaoshi, who has already lurked into the sea to wait for the storm, is willing to waste all his time chewing on the sand.
Ji Wushuang hasn't spoken much in the past few days, and the atmosphere is a bit dull. It takes a lot of energy and physical strength for an older woman to dress up as a little girl, as well as a little good mood, both of which are indispensable.
Now Ji Wushuang is in no mood to pretend to be soft, because the situation is worse than she imagined.
"How bad can the worst be?" Huang Xiaoshi cheered to Ji Wushuang.
Ji Wushuang glanced at Huang Xiaoshi and asked him: "Maybe I will never be able to return to the head teacher in this life."
After Huang Xiaoshi was stunned for a moment, he said to Ji Wushuang: "Isn't that the case?"
Ji Wushuang said angrily to Huang Xiaoshi: "Do you know how big the west is?"
Huang Xiaoshi nodded and said, "I know."
When Ji Wushuang heard this, she was so angry that she reached out and hammered Huang Xiaoshi. She said angrily: "This is the world after the desert in the west."
"Oh." Huang Xiaoshi felt that it was better for him to "don't know".
"To the west of the desert, there is a big, big, big world, much bigger than the Central Plains." Ji Wushuang said seriously to Huang Xiaoshi: "Once the chief teacher is forced by your emperor to cross the desert,
Then they will never come back in this life."
Huang Xiaoshi also nodded after hearing Ji Wushuang's words.
The deserts on the frontier are not so easy to live in.
Ganzhou is on the edge of the desert. If the nomads lose Ganzhou, they will have no choice but to be driven into the desert to chew on the sand.
Although there are many oases in the desert, the population carrying capacity of these green spaces is very limited, extremely limited.
A certain time-traveler went to live in an oasis in the desert, and even tried to build a country with force. I really don't know how he did it.
Therefore, the Tianlong Sect can only follow the nomads across the desert and head west until they find a land with abundant water and grass, or until the number of tribesmen is greatly reduced and the need for survival is not that high, in order to achieve a terrifying balance of supply and demand.
Based on the geographical knowledge Huang Xiaoshi has learned, the Tianlong Sect must at least retreat to the Tianshan area. This is at least.
At most, God knows.
At that time, the Huns were not driven to the European continent by the Han Dynasty.
It was because he was familiar with history and geography that Huang Xiaoshi didn't know how to comfort Ji Wushuang.
It is better not to tell the cruel truth and low-level comfort.
In fact, Huang Xiaoshi really wanted to tell Ji Wushuang, maybe you should open a branch.
Anyway, the Tianlong Sect itself is eight tribes united by the Eight Heavenly Dragons. Since Asura can go to the Central Plains to build a Shura Palace, Ji Wushuang can also go and build a Yaksha Palace.
The Shura Palace specializes in beautiful girls, and the Yaksha Palace specializes in beautiful boys. This can also solve the emotional and needs problems of a group of older unmarried women in the church.
However, Huang Xiaoshi did not say these words in the end.
First, Huang Xiaoshi was worried that Ji Wushuang would be angered by these words. On the other hand, Huang Xiaoshi was even more afraid of what would happen if Ji Wushuang really believed it.
The current situation was already chaotic enough, and Huang Xiaoshi felt that he had better not cause any more chaos for himself.
Think about it, the Dragon King is really miserable.
These eight Heavenly Dragons, one, two, three, four, five, six and seven, were all in the Central Plains. He was the only one who went to the Western Regions to eat sand. Uninformed, he thought that the Dragon King had been exiled.
Huang Xiaoshi could see Ji Wushuang's current state. She now looked like an Internet addicted teenager who suddenly stopped playing online games. Although life was still going on, she no longer knew what she should do.
Originally, Ji Wushuang and Mohu Luojia were sent to the Central Plains to prepare for the Tianlong Sect's entry into the Central Plains.
Over the past year or so, although the work has been very hard, I have gained a full sense of accomplishment.
Now, the Tianlong Sect headquarters has lost contact, and the work and achievements here have suddenly lost all meaning.
Not only Ji Wushuang, but now Huang Xiaoshi also has a feeling of pain in his balls.
I am doing military merit, pretending to be a prince, and even running to Hangzhou to marry a man. All these efforts are for the purpose of entering the upper echelons of the Tianlong Sect.
As a result, this turned out to be the case.
I've been running around all over the place this year, why?
Even Huang Xiaoshi began to doubt life. Could it be that Fang Yunhua, hugging everyone like that, is the real winner?
Speaking of which, Huang Xiaoshi made a huge mistake.
Because Huang Xiaoshi had foresight, he naturally used the results to infer the causes.
If we use "history" to deduce the process backward, we will regard chance as inevitable.
Huang Xiaoshi formulated his action plan based on the history that happened a few years later. Although he also knew that there was a butterfly effect, he never thought that the butterfly effect originally meant unpredictability.
If you can guess the beginning and the end, it's not called the butterfly effect.
Judging from "history", the Tianlong Sect was very powerful, and the Zhongyuan Sect was defeated by it, and was finally forced to fight decisively. The decisive figure related to the decisive victory was Dongfang Weiming.
In this battle between "good and evil" in the martial arts world, it is unclear which side will win.
Huang Xiaoshi has known for a long time that Weiming will be very strong in the future, and he has too many opportunities to hold him back.
Therefore, Huang Xiaoshi's plan is very simple, which is to make friends with Wei Ming, at least to prevent him from becoming his enemy, while he joins the Tianlong Sect and takes advantage of the Tianlong Sect's sweep across the Central Plains to use his power to overwhelm others and seize the keys to the temple.
However, the strength of the Tianlong Sect is conditional, that is, the core force of the Tianlong Sect, the Nomadic Division, can fight against the imperial army in the north.
In the original "history", the Nomadic Ministry was in a tug-of-war with the imperial army for several years.
After the imperial court defeated King Cheng, the six major factions angrily killed the Dragon King, and the situation in the world was decided, the Nomadic tribe offered Princess Weini to surrender to the emperor and ask for her hand in marriage.
This will end with the emperor sweeping the world, the dynasty reviving, and all barbarians surrendering.
There is also a kind of "history" where King Cheng defeated the imperial army. The Nomads and Tianlong Sect responded to King Cheng and directly took over the Central Plains, occupying half of the country.
This will end with King Cheng ascending the throne, bringing peace to the world and national integration.
No matter what kind of ending, it highlights that the Nomadic Department is very capable of fighting.
Therefore, when Huang Xiaoshi calculated his plan, he took it as a prerequisite that the nomads and the imperial court could be evenly matched.
Only under this condition can all subsequent calculations be carried out, including the subsequent derived "history".
For example, due to long years of war, the entire northwest has been devastated, and the national power of the Central Plains has been greatly weakened by the war.
Only then did King Cheng raise a banner to rebel, and responded everywhere.
Otherwise, he, an old salted fish, would never be able to turn around.
But what Huang Xiaoshi never expected was that although the northwest was badly beaten, it was still far away from being completely destroyed. The emperor was like eating rubbish from gold, and the table was wiped clean after only a few hands of cards.
It can be said that the Nomadic Ministry and the Tianlong Sect have lost completely and completely, and once the imperial court captures Jiayu, they will not even have a chance to make a comeback.
How did the script change?
Huang Xiaoshi was puzzled.
Even Huang Xiaoshi didn't know that the first change he made to "history" was the batch of medicines sent to Wuhan.
Because of the timely delivery of the batch of medicine, the plague in Jiangbei was quickly controlled. Otherwise, the plague would not only spread, but also last for a long time.
Such an increase and decrease would prevent the imperial court's energy from being distracted by additional matters, and it would naturally be able to hit the Nomadic Department with all its strength.
When fighting a war, most of the time what you look at is the first wave. Most wars are all about one wave.
Huang Xiaoshi didn't know that he had created the "Shen Nong Baicao Sect" by himself, which was the biggest change in "history".
