Chapter 110: The Six Sons of Qimen and the King's Last Letter
Although he had some guesses in his mind, Ji Hao did not say them out loud, but only mentioned the Jiangxia Huang family.
On the one hand, Zhuge Liang was still not well-known at that time, and no one would take it seriously if he mentioned it. On the other hand, unlike Xing Daorong, Ji Hao could not raise Zhuge Liang's fame and let him be born early.
Otherwise you will be in trouble.
Furthermore, although he and Dongwu are relatives by marriage and currently get along well with each other, they will eventually each occupy their own territory and will go to war sooner or later.
He didn't want to reveal any information about Zhuge Liang.
However, after mentioning the Jiangxia Huang family, Sun Ce still frowned and said, "I know this. General Huang Gai, General Huang Zhong under your command, and the late Huang Zu are all from the Jiangxia Huang family. But as far as I know, the Huang family's inherited skills are not martial arts, but military tactics, especially the formation of the most advanced."
Having said this, he hesitated for a moment.
He added, "But no one has received the true inheritance. Only the elusive head of the family, Huang Chengyan, has the complete inheritance. Could it be that he chose to join Liu Biao?"
To be honest, he didn't quite understand.
Since the Huang Zhong incident, ordinary gentry even laughed at Liu Biao for being blind and made fun of him after dinner.
What’s more, he is also from the Huang family?
If the aristocratic family did not need to invest in many aspects in order to continue its success and could not make enemies with those in power, Huang Chengyan should have stood up for Huang Zhong and taught Liu Biao a big lesson!
"It may not be for Liu Biao. It is also possible that he wants to keep Liu Biao and eat him." Ji Hao said.
He was not sure whether it was Zhuge Liang or Huang Chengyan, but one thing was certain, that is, in the original book, Liu Bei had only a few hundred people, but Zhuge Liang dared to let him take Jingzhou. Where did he get the confidence?
Obviously, it is because of the power of the family itself.
To put it bluntly, Jingzhou is the private reserve of the aristocratic families. It seems to belong to Liu Biao, but in fact it belongs to the major aristocratic families.
Liu Biao was only the nominal master.
This is why Liu Nie could hand over his military power and just enjoy a peaceful life as a prince, but Liu Biao could not, because Jingzhou did not completely belong to him!
"If Huang Chengyan really defected to Liu Biao, then we will be in trouble. Among the Six Masters of Qimen, none of them is a simple one." Sun Ce said again.
This made everyone else stunned, as it was the first time they heard of this concept.
As for Ji Hao, he was also confused.
I have never heard anyone mention it before, and there is no concept of "Six Sons of Qimen" in the original book.
"What are the six Qimen?"
"That was something I occasionally heard Yuan Shu mention when I was serving under him," Sun Ce said. "It is said that in addition to the civil and military arts, there is another group that inherits the mysterious art. During the reign of Emperor Ling, a total of six people received the true teachings, namely Nanhua, Zuo Ci, Yu Ji, Zhang Jue, Huang Chengyan, and Sima Hui."
At this point, he looked at Ji Hao and said, "I didn't pay much attention to it at first. After meeting Yu Ji, I became even more disdainful of the so-called 'Six Sons of Qimen'. I thought they were not widely known because they were just a name."
After all, apart from Zhang Jue who started the Yellow Turban Rebellion and became famous throughout the world, the other five people did not achieve much.
Even Sima Hui, the Water Mirror, was indifferent to fame and fortune. He was just a teacher at an academy in Jingzhou and did not hold any official position.
They even look a bit like a poor family because they are not as wealthy as the Yuan family and the Qiao family.
In the monster horse incident, Sun Ce went there just for Yu Ji, but after meeting him, he was greatly disappointed - in front of the monster horse, Yu Ji's performance was quite poor, while Ji Hao's performance astounded Sun Ce.
"Later I found out that even though Yu Ji seemed to be a swindler, he was actually a talented person!" said Sun Ce.
What happened to Yu Ji later?
Needless to say!
He is now one of the most important figures under Ji Hao, fully responsible for the "Dongfeng Institute", researching the "Heavenly Fire and Divine Thunder", and is currently compiling the "Taishang Divine Fire and Heavenly Thunder Nuclear Pingjing".
Rumor has it that once this sutra is published, there will be "peace in the world."
Putting aside the rumors, the kerosene explosion tanks he led the craftsmen to make also played a brilliant role in several wars. The reason why Sun Jian was defeated by Huang Zhong's 70,000 troops was due to the kerosene explosion tanks. Therefore, Sun Ce was quite impressed by this.
Therefore, we dare not underestimate the other four people who are as famous as Yu Ji and Zhang Jiao.
"In that case, the Six Masters of Qimen are truly rare masters!" said Ji Hao.
Although Yu Ji was a swindler, in this era, he was able to develop firearms and extract the AIDS virus to make a so-called "curse". He was truly a Frankenstein.
In other words, he was born in the wrong era, and he failed to meet a mentor or someone who could make good use of him.
Otherwise, his death would not be so miserable as in the original book.
As for Zhang Jiao, there is no need to mention him. His magic of "turning beans into soldiers" amazed countless people. His words "The blue sky is dead, and the yellow sky should be established" also stirred up the situation of the entire era.
Putting aside Zuo Ci and Nanhua, Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui are not simple either.
Huang Chengyan was Zhuge Liang's father-in-law. The mysterious "Eight Formations" that Zhuge Liang later created was an improvement on the formations he learned from him!
Sima Hui had three disciples in his life, namely Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and Xu Shu!
He himself is a descendant of Sima Qian, who wrote "Records of the Grand Historian". He is the legitimate descendant of the latter's son born before he was castrated. He also has a nephew in the contemporary era named Sima Yi.
Just tell me whether he is awesome or not?
In the novel, he even took action and built an ice city with mud and water, which directly defeated Ma Chao, who had caused Cao Cao to lose his robe and have his beard cut off!
One's own talents, coupled with complex interpersonal relationships.
The so-called "Six Sons of Qimen" really don't have any simple ones!
"Unfortunately, apart from you, there is no other prince who has recruited people of the level of the 'Six Sons'!" Sun Ce said, not hiding his envy in his eyes.
Who wouldn’t want to recruit such a rare master?
But it's too difficult.
Not only are masters elusive, but more importantly, it is difficult for anything to impress them.
Including Yu Ji.
If he had not been confused by Ji Hao's "The east wind blows thousands of flowers in the night", and if only Ji Ying developed firearms and was willing to invest huge amounts of money in it, it would have been difficult to get him to sincerely serve him.
In the original novel, didn’t he give the Heavenly Fire and Thunder to Dongwu?
"From different angles, you will see different peaks. The Six Artifacts of Qimen are actually nothing special!" Ji Hao shook his head again.
In the original book, there was no place for those six people after all.
Zhuge Liang, who studied under Mr. Shuijing and received all the true teachings from his father-in-law Huang Chengyan, is definitely a person who surpasses the Six Masters of Qimen. Even if they are fighting magic, Ji Hao estimates that he is better than Zhang Jiao. The Eight Diagrams Formation is much more powerful than the method of turning beans into soldiers.
Ji Hao also suspected that the true descendant of the Sima family was Sima Yi, not Sima Hui.
Looking at the Three Kingdoms, what are truly outstanding are Zhuge Liang's wisdom, Zhao Yun's courage, Guan Yu's loyalty, Lu Bu's martial arts, Hua Tuo's medical skills, Diao Chan's appearance, Cao Cao's Wei Wu legacy... Uh, it seems like something strange has sneaked in.
But that's the truth.
"Isn't Hua Tuo also extremely accomplished in his field?" Ji Hao said comfortingly.
But it made Sun Ce even more uncomfortable.
"Why do you get all the capable people?"
Then, as if he was angry, Sun Ce said, "I, the great Sun family, cannot let you look down on me! I don't want to play anymore. Come on, come back with me. I will show you something that will scare you!"
Ji Hao was puzzled by this.
"what?"
When it comes to "startled", he only remembers Xing Daorong who said "say my name".
"The suicide note of Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Western Chu!" Sun Ce said, "It records the Overlord's thoughts on military tactics before his death, and contains the 'Ten-Sided Ambush Formation'. I plan to use it as my younger sister's dowry. Let's see if your Ji family can come up with a betrothal gift of sufficient weight!"
