Chapter 497: The War Begins
"You actually killed her?" Yunfei was shocked.
"A woman like this is cold by nature, if you like her, it will only be more painful in the future, and the long pain is better than the short pain." Wang Tian said lightly.
Hearing Wang Tian's words, Yunfei was silent. Although this woman was his first love, her behavior just now really made him sad. He felt that Wang Tian was right, long pain is better than short pain.
"You will feel very painful to lose her today, and the way to treat this pain is to find another one better than her. When you find it, you'll find that she's not as perfect as you think. Wang Tian said.
……
The next day was the Heavenly Saint Li Boyang's sermon, and Li Boyang's Dao Wang Tian had listened carefully, so there was no need to go again. On the third day, the earth sage Zhuangzi Xiu preached, and Wang Tian went to listen to it. At the same time, he also probably guessed what the supernatural power he comprehended was from the morality he comprehended, in short, as one of the three saints, he would definitely not be weaker than anyone.
In these three days, the sect masters and senior disciples of the hundred schools have made tremendous gains. Because the sermons of the Three Sages are all about essence, and they are all understandings related to cultivation, not those superficial things that deceive the world. During the day they listened to sermons, and at night they were either in the square or in a quiet place to concentrate on what they had heard during the day.
It can be said that they have not wasted a minute or second in the past three days, but the harvest is also huge.
Early in the morning of the fourth day, when the first rays of sunlight shone into the clouds. Under the huge building wood, the sect masters of the hundred schools have all arrived. Today is the day of the formal sermon and the beginning of a magnificent chapter.
The sincerity of the three saints in the past three days has conquered them, and then it is time for everyone to discuss together. At this time, Wang Tian also joined in, and this discussion was also very important to him. For he himself was not sanctified, let alone divine.
Although he has a game system, he also needs to comprehend a lot of things in order to cultivate with the game system. It can be said that the game system only provides him with a platform and opportunities, and the rest has to rely on himself.
……
And right now. In the secular world beyond the cloud realm, the magnificent picture of war began...... First of all, the seven major countries began to annex the surrounding small countries in preparation for the future big war. As a result, gunpowder smoke and war broke out in all parts of the Chinese mainland, and scars appeared on the land of China one after another.
The three kingdoms of Han, Zhao, and Wei destroyed the surrounding kingdoms of Zhongshan, Jin, and Song respectively. The Qin State destroyed the surrounding Zou State, and the Zhao State destroyed the surrounding Fei State, so the pattern of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States was initially formed...... These small countries are relatively small, and the smallest ones are only a few states and counties, and they will be wiped out by the surrounding big countries. It doesn't take more than a few days.
Some small countries saw the arrival of the troops and horses of the big countries, and directly chose to surrender and depend. Since the sect masters and big disciples of these countries have gone out to participate in the Hundred Schools of Thought, there are no strong people in the country to guard them, and it is in vain for them to resist. Most of the small nations choose to surrender rather than resist, as long as they can survive, what they believe is the same for them.
After the small country was breached, some disciples of the Bingjia led troops to demolish the churches, schools and lecture places of these small academic schools, and some stubborn believers were directly cut down. They use such thunderous means. It's enough to shake some wavers.
And the sect masters and great disciples of some of the schools who participated in the Dao Discussion in the Cloud Realm, they were still immersed in the atmosphere of the Dao, completely unaware that their foundation in the world had been completely destroyed in these three days. There was no powerful communication system in this era, and the cloud realm was above the sea. It is 10,000 kilometers away from the land, which can be said to be equivalent to a place of isolation.
At this time, Yasukuni was also facing the attack of Qi and Chu.
Inside the Imperial Palace of Yasukuni.
The lord of the kingdom was on the throne, and his expression was very anxious and helpless. Because both the states of Qi and Chu demanded that he be attached. And he was only given three days, and if he didn't reply, he would attack directly.
Therefore, he summoned the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to discuss the matter.
Standing next to the lord of the country was Cai'er with a veil on her face, after Wang Tian left. She also became the national teacher of the dynasty. She has super strength, so everyone respects her very much.
"The matter has come to this, today I would like to ask everyone to express their opinions on how to deal with this matter." The lord of the kingdom said above.
"Lord Qiqi, I heard that the world is now strife, and many small countries can no longer survive. Some small countries tried to rebel against the big ones, and in the end they were destroyed. So the best thing we can do is to choose attachment. Thought the minister said.
"I agree with this lord's opinion, it is obviously not a wise move to confront the Qi State and the Chu State. Now we should not discuss the question of dependency or non-dependence, but the question of which country to be attached to. Another minister followed.
"And what about the opinion of the national teacher?" The lord of the country pointed his gaze at Cai'er.
"I don't know if you've thought about it, but the word attachment they say is nominally good. But after attachment, our country will cease to exist...... To put it mildly, it is a slave who died in the country. Cai'er said coldly.
"What does the national teacher mean to fight?" A minister sneered and said: "But I don't know if the national teacher has ever thought about it, if we want to fight, how many people will die, how many people will shed blood and sacrifice for this, and in the end, our country will still be destroyed......
"Perhaps, we have a better way." Cai'er said: "Now that both countries want us to be attached to, why not leave the choice to them?" You just said that we could avoid war by surrendering, but can this war really be avoided? The annexation of the surrounding countries is only the beginning, and eventually, there will still be fights between the seven powers. ”
"What happens when they fight?" Cai'er continued: "When they fight, we small countries will be the first targets for them to sacrifice. When the time comes, our people will die even worse. Instead of this, it is better to fight for our own country. ”
That is to say, after the start of the War of the Seven Kingdoms, those big countries used the armies of small countries as cannon fodder to be their vanguard. However, they couldn't understand the word cannon fodder, so Cai'er didn't say it.
"And now, there are two big countries vying for our Yasukuni, and this will be an opportunity for us." Cai'er said.
"There will be a big war between the Seven Kingdoms? Who are you listening to? If there was no war between them, would we not be putting ourselves to death in doing so? Another minister said so.
The advocates of dependence are basically some civil servants, because they have long been accustomed to living a life of worry-free food and clothing. So they are afraid of war, afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice.
"And what do you think?" Seeing that the opinions of these civil servants and the national teachers were different, the lord of the country began to ask some military generals.
"I agree with the national teacher." Thought the general stood up and said.
"I also agree with the national teacher's opinion, we are all people of Yasukuni, and we cannot be slaves to the country." Another general said so.
Seeing that the court was divided into two factions, the main battle and the main peace, the lord of the country was also a little embarrassed.
"Lord, I think everyone can surrender, but you can't." At this time, Cai'er said to the lord of the country.
"What do you mean by this?" The lord of the country listened to Cai'er's remarks and asked in surprise.
"After those Wenchen surrendered, they could continue to be his Wenchen and live a worry-free life. And after the generals surrender, they will also be the original generals or something, but they will be used as the vanguard to be their vanguard to send to death, and what about after you surrender? Do you think they'll treat you well? There are no two tigers on one mountain, and they will always be vigilant about whether you will intend to return to the country, and what is the best way to dispel such doubts? Cai'er said with a sneer.
Her words pointed to the essence of the incident, and those generals and country lords were in a cold sweat when they heard it. It is conceivable that the general will be used as cannon fodder, because these big countries are afraid that they will have a homeland plot, and it is better for such a person to be used as a frontrunner. And what is the best way to prevent the old lord from reverting to the country? That is to let that lord die.
"I have now decided that we will not be attached to anyone in Yasukuni, and we will live and die with the country!" After listening to Cai'er's words, the lord of the country made a decision.
"In the future, if anyone dares to surrender again, it will be regarded as treason!" At the same time, the lord of the country was also very angry, and those civil servants who advocated surrender were nothing more than afraid of death, and they were all selfish villains.
"Survive with Yasukuni!" Several generals also shouted. As soldiers, it is their vocation to fight. Instead of being cannon fodder for other countries, it is better to fight to the death for your own country!
"Regarding the matter of how to fight against the State of Qi and the State of Chu, I have full authority to deal with it to the national teacher." The lord of the kingdom said again. He knew Cai'er's relationship with Wang Tian, and Cai'er's strength was also extremely strong, so at this time, he could only hand it all over to Cai'er.
"It's too early to talk about confrontation, because both Qi and Chu want us to be attached to Yasukuni. Why don't we put on a posture of obedience and let them fight first? Cai'er said. Yasukuni is a country of twelve prefectures and counties, so neither Qi nor Chu wants to give up. Using this psychology of theirs, you can definitely get them to fight first.
Although the general direction of the current shape is to annex small countries and prepare for future wars, as long as there is a fuse, it is not impossible for them to take the lead in starting a war. Anyway, sooner or later, there will be a war, and it is very normal to fight first for the sake of profit.
After the unification of the opinions of the court, the command of the military division was assigned to Cai'er. And Cai'er did not send additional troops and horses to defend the pass at the beginning, but sent people to the generals of Qi and Chu to lobby. (To be continued......)
