Chapter 735: Background
“Maybe it’s because we don’t believe in fate!”
Guan Yu said that he really didn't believe in fate. He now believed in himself more and in the sword in his hand.
"Hehe, that's because you are very strong, so fate doesn't matter to you. But why doesn't everyone in the Han Dynasty believe it?" The old man said unwillingly.
"Then you have to go and see for yourself!" Zhang Song shook his head. He didn't even know what the old man meant by destiny.
"Okay, let's talk about business!" The old man shook his head. Of course he would go and see, but not now.
He was very interested in the so-called sun and moon across the sky of the Han Dynasty.
"My suggestion is that you wait for two more days. The army heading south will arrive in two days, and then you can implement your plan!" said the old man.
"If you go any further, your chances of survival will be completely gone. Believe me, this general is very strong, but the Guishans also have many strong men. One on one is no match for him, let alone two on one, or even ten on one?" the old man said with some solemnity.
"Does the Kushans have so many powerful people?" Guan Yu said with a frown.
He is very strong, but at the Boundary Breaking level, killing four or five ordinary Boundary Breaking is his limit. If he really has to fight ten, he can't do it even with the Cloud Energy.
After all, the Boundary Breaker is not something that can be found everywhere, and it is not that easy to kill.
"If you go to the Himalayas, you can see more!" the old man said this expressionlessly.
"Are they all similar to you?" Guan Yu asked after thinking for a while.
"Most of them are, and a small part are the same as you!" The old man looked directly at Guan Yu, very calmly, because this was the truth.
Zhang Song and Zhang Su were silent . The strength of the Kushans was indeed surprising. It would be fine if the main force of the Han Dynasty was there, but their small army might not have that ability.
"Why are you telling us this?" Zhang Song went straight to the point.
"This general cannot die!" The old man looked at Guan Yu and said, "You may not be able to die. We can see the fate. Every ending of the fate is that the Kushan Empire will be conquered by the Han Dynasty, but there are some futures that we don't want to see."
"The most troublesome one is the death of this general!"
"Why do you say that?" Zhang Song looked at the old man suspiciously.
"Hehehe, I think General, you know this best!" The old man looked at Guan Yu and said softly.
"What about brotherhood?" Guan Yu asked slowly.
"Of course, that gentleman is called Lord Xuande?" The old man said in a questioning tone, "In the name of benevolence, he did the most tyrannical things. The Kushans cannot withstand such anger."
"And that black general, who turned himself into the source of fear, the Kushans can't stand that kind of ravage either!"
"So that's how it is, eldest brother, third brother..." Guan Yu was silent. He had no doubt about what his brothers would do to avenge him.
"Father-in-law, do you have anything else to say?" Zhang Su continued to ask.
"My suggestion is that you give up the plan. You can give everything east of the city of Polonnaruwa to the Han Dynasty, but if you withdraw to the west, there will be too many unexpected events once a war breaks out, and it will be difficult to achieve what you want!" The old man's eyes were extremely calm.
"It's not so easy to borrow the right time. If you borrow the right time, you will eventually fail. Why don't we all take a step back ?"
"Sure enough, there is still no way to stop it?"
Looking at the three silent people, the old man smiled bitterly. This was fate. What could he do after seeing it? Nothing could be changed.
"One last piece of advice. The Himalayas is a secluded place for all of us hermits. No one will step out unless you disturb us!" The old man retracted his gaze and became calm again.
It was only because he was threatened by Guan Yu that he had emotional fluctuations, otherwise he would not have said so much.
Although Guan Yu is strong, there are many gods and Buddhas in the Himalayas who are not vegetarians.
The reason they chose that environment in the first place was that it was destined that the army could not march up there.
"How many?" Zhang Song asked with a frown.
"Well, there are about a dozen generals like this one!" The old man said with a smile. "Can you please let me go?"
"Send this old man out of the camp!" Zhang Su said. Since the other party had good intentions, they would not refuse.
"Goodbye, everyone!" The old man smiled and followed the guards away.
Guan Yu watched the other party leave and did not try to stop him. Although the other party was a little reserved, he was generally on the side of the Han Dynasty for the time being. With his ability, it was easy for him to tell this .
…
The old man walked out of the camp and wiped away the non-existent sweat.
“Finally got out!”
"Mu Jianlian, you are amazing!" To be honest, he didn't expect that he would fail against a young man.
If it weren't for Mu Jianlian, he would never have thought of coming to the Han Dynasty to provide them with the last line of insurance.
Unexpectedly, he was almost killed by Guan Yu with a single blow.
He had many ways to save his life, but he had a feeling that if Guan Yu went down, none of his ways would work. This was what terrified him the most.
"Luckily, it was these two who came. If it was that weak scholar, I'm afraid even his savings would have been emptied out!"
Recalling the young strategist he saw in the future, the old man shook his head. The future is really colorful. Every minute may produce countless possibilities, but in the end they are just branches.
No matter who comes, the fate of Kushan is already determined. Whether they can break through their destiny depends on the last moment.
"Becoming a god... hehe... are people like us really considered gods?"
Recalling Guan Yu's divine power, the old man left with a wry smile. The gap between people is really huge.
…
The three people in the camp were silent. They didn't know whether what the old man said was true.
"I suggest we wait and see. The other party is very sincere and I don't think they are deceiving us!" Guan Yu spoke first. He was very confident in his own perception and knew that the other party did not harbor any ill intentions.
"I also prefer to wait for a few days. We actually don't need to gamble like this!" Zhang Song also nodded. If it succeeds, it will be a great achievement, and if it fails, it is also reasonable.
The ending the old man described made them think of a lot. They knew that the old man didn’t tell them everything, but they couldn’t figure it out for a while.
"Alas, after all, we are still a little short of them!" Zhang Su was also a little helpless.
He couldn't figure it out and felt deeply frustrated about it. He thought they were not inferior to those people in Luoyang.
But now I realize that there is some awareness between them after all. If those people from Luoyang were to come, they should be able to do better.
"Don't think too much. Continue to improve our arrangements and wait for two more days. If he doesn't show up, then we will retreat!" Guan Yu finally made the decision.
The information brought by the old man revealed many loopholes in the plan. There was no need for them to continue gambling on such a plan.
