Chapter 144: What About the State Boundaries That Are Okay?
It seemed that he had some scruples about rescuing the six little kings, after Jiang Gan solved the failure of the teleportation array, he pulled Qi Taibao to leave together, Qi Taibao couldn't struggle, so he had to scold in a low voice: "I don't need to avoid it, okay." Jiang Gan turned a deaf ear, and dragged Qi Taibao to the back of Qi's mansion in Chang'an, guarding Qi Taibao for a whole day before disappearing, but the six little kings appeared in Qi's mansion after Jiang Gan left.
The matter of Chang'an has a feeling of being a tiger, Qi Taibao feels like he is a thread, after connecting the generals of the six departments, there is basically nothing to do with him, perhaps, even if he does not put forward a plan to save the six little kings from the food shortage, the generals of the six departments or some hidden characters will also come out and send him a plan, and then, he will take over the six generals and gather in Qi's house.
Qi Taibao has always wanted to see how Dong Xiaobai looks like to bring disaster to the country and the people, but Dong Xiaobai just didn't give him a chance, even if he stayed in the backyard of Qi's house, he just ordered someone to take away the "Night Garden Fence Map", and then return it to Qi Taibao after the seal was lifted, and the other five Xiao Wang also gave generous gifts, and the Night Garden Fence Map made Qi Taibao very disappointed.
The wish to hide the soldiers and horses in it has not been realized, and this space can only be entered and exited by a human being, or a mount or monster that has signed a master-servant contract with Qi Taibao, otherwise, it can only be transplanted into those plants and trees that are not self-conscious, or soil, and equipment, treasures, etc. can also be placed in it.
Qi Taibao was a little annoyed, but he didn't know who to throw his temper with, and in the end, with the help of Jiang Gan's teleportation array, he teleported back to Dongyuan Lezhou outside Chang'an City, and the Han Court did not recognize the existence of "Lezhou", but the Yellow Turban called his territory "Lezhou" inside.
Whether the six little kings can escape from Chang'an City smoothly, Qi Taibao has no care, he received an invitation from Jiang Gan, to be precise, it is Jiang Gan's reward for helping to break the teleportation array, and this reward is to let Qi Taibao attack a state border barrier; Of course, it is not a strong requirement, and if Qi Taibao sees that the situation is not good, he can also retreat.
"There are thirty-three heavens between the Han realm and the heavenly court, you can also call it the thirty-three realms, the legend is that the nine tripods of the Han are hidden in the thirty-three realms, you lead the troops to attack the thirty-three passes, and if you don't do well, you can gather all the nine Han tripods."
Qi Taibao sneered and said, "Dry, if you have anything to say, just say it, don't beat around the bush and become a child." ”
Jiang Gan always felt that Qi Taibao shouted out the word "dry" with another meaning, but at this time, it was difficult to catch the Qi Tairen who was wandering around, if he didn't find something to do for this kid, this kid would continue to wander around, and it would be a disaster for the people or gods who bet on him, so Qi Taibao must be diligent.
When thinking about these things in his heart, Jiang Gan naturally had to carefully avoid eye contact with Qi Taibao, and after he controlled what he was thinking, Jiang Gan dared to come to Qi Taibao's side and explained: "When heaven and earth are not divided, there are gods and demons, heaven and earth are divided, and gods and demons are also divided, and God is inspired by heaven and earth and decides to protect heaven and earth, and demons want to destroy heaven and earth, so that the world returns to chaos, therefore, the heaven and earth where we live is the divine realm, and the place where the demons live is the outer land." ”
"Every time the main battlefield of the gods and demons war is in the god realm, the god realm has suffered heavy losses, in order to change the situation, there is the existence of the heavenly court, and there is also the division of the human world, in order to avoid the rout of the heavenly court, the war burned directly to the human world, and there are thirty-three barriers between the heavenly court and the human world. Heavenly Court is the Han Court, where the Heavenly Court lives is Luoyang City, and where the gods live is Luoyang Mountain, of course, it was not called this name before, but after the Han Emperor took control of the Heavenly Court, the names of these places will change. ”
Qi Taibao has returned to his own Qizhuang near Weilie Harbor in Pinggang City, and the deputy general Quan Ji has managed the army very well, and when he learned that Qi Taibao was going to lead his troops to the battle, there was no nonsense at all, and he immediately went out to gather all 880 soldiers.
"Marshal, there will be something to report at the end."
During the march, Quan Ji drove his horse to Qi Taibao's side and said, Qi Taibao nodded, signaling Quan Ji to say, Quan Ji will naturally not be polite, "Marshal, the equipment of the soldiers is very poor, although the marshal has been winning battles, but it is based on absolute superiority, if you encounter an enemy of the same strength, the quality of equipment will determine the balance of victory or defeat." ”
Don't look at Qi Taibao's money and is a local tyrant, but it depends on where it is used, if it is to build the weapons and equipment of the soldiers, his more than 20 million Han money is not enough, all his soldiers wear ordinary military uniforms, and there are no attribute additions, usually damage value 1, defense 1 and the like, and the lowest level of low-grade magic weapons has not been reached.
Qi Taibao smiled and said, "This expedition is to earn some equipment money for the brothers." ”
Jiang Gan was in a relatively secluded place in Lezhou, and when he arrived at Qi Taibao's corps, the ground was already carved with dao patterns, and the teleportation array was obviously ready, Qi Taibao asked with some doubts: "Isn't there a boundary gate?" ”
"Nope." Jiang Gan replied very simply, waved his hand to stop Qi Taibao's questioning, and said: "The thirty-three key passes are the link connecting the Han realm and the heavenly court, but with the continuous turmoil of the heavenly court, the thirty-three heavy passes are out of the grasp of the heavenly court, so that if the heavenly court wants to descend on the Han realm, it needs to consume more resources and there will be a lot of restrictions, so your task is to open a road." ”
"Mission: The Road to Heaven. Content: In the battle between Heavenly Court and the Extraterritorial Heavenly Demons, the Heavenly Court was constantly losing troops and losing generals, and under the influence of the separation of the 33rd Pass, the Heavenly Court could not obtain the logistics assistance of the Han Realm, and the Heavenly Court issued an order to open the 33rd Pass in order to make up for the shortcomings of the logistics shortcoming. Victory Condition: Clear any level. Failure Condition: Death. Victory Reward: Become a Guardian General. Failure Penalty: None. ”
"What do you mean by the general?" Qi Taibao vaguely understood in his mind, but he still asked out loud.
Jiang Gan showed a look of envy and said: "The general guarding the pass can only be held by the general of the third grade, of course, even if you become the general of the guard, it is impossible to be mentioned as the third grade; The premise of serving as a general guarding the pass: the top ten of the Qilin Pavilion and the canonization of the Han Court, you belong to a special situation, you must know that in the past, in order to get the position of the general guarding the pass, the entire Han Court played a dog's brain. ”
"Why did the thirty-three generals leave the Han Court?"
"At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the Red Eyebrows Green Forest Uprising, not only Xuanwu County and Lelang County and other four counties separated from the Han realm, but the thirty-three heavy passes also broke away from the Han court, if it were not for the Guangwu Emperor was born, the emperor of the Han Dynasty would have been broken long ago, and the four counties and the thirty-three heavy passes were thought that the Han Dynasty would be broken, and they would break away, and when the Guangwu Emperor unified the Han court and the Han realm again, they naturally bowed their heads and became vassals, but maintained their independence."
"Emperor Guangwu is such a good character, didn't he think about recovering the thirty-three levels?" Qi Taibao asked.
"Why didn't you think about it? Every generation of Eastern Han Dynasty emperors is thinking, the thirty-three passes are not in the control of the Han court, for the Han emperor is the side of the couch hidden tigers, but the Eastern Han Dynasty Heavenly Court is also often stormy, every time to go out to the thirty-three passes, either the extraterritorial heavenly demons attack the border of the heavenly court, or there are problems within the heavenly court, and later, the emperor is getting worse and worse, and the thirty-three heavy passes have been free from the Han Dynasty, and now it has been more than 300 years. ”
Qi Taibao didn't ask why he sent himself to fight the 33rd Pass, he must have attacked it this time, besides, he definitely couldn't attack it, and the reason why he wanted to go was due to a conversation with Jiang Gan.
Jiang Gan said, "There is no war in the Yellow Turban now, and people who have no long-term concerns must have near-term worries, do you think you can really take the Yellow Turban?" ”
Qi Taibao has long known that he will not be able to take over the power of the Yellow Turban, he is a player, even if he is very bullish and makes NPCs treat him as an NPC, but he is a player after all, and the power will definitely not fall into his hands, unless he rebels and seizes power.
This is the only way for players to grasp power, and it is also the only way to ascend the throne as the emperor, otherwise, you can only work under the NPC for a lifetime, and the players rebel and seize power, which is also the result of the system, the system will not allow players to accept the will of a certain NPC, smoothly ascend to the throne of power, and will definitely play some means.
Qi Taibao has heard some rumors, saying that Zhang Jiao has a son named "Zhang Niujiao", these rumors did not come out for no reason, and there are also some proposals inside, saying that they want Han Xian and others to take Zhang Niujiao back.
What Han Xian and the other Daqu Shuai think, Qi Taibao doesn't know, but he knows that the system has already taken action, and the Yellow Turban will start civil strife again, and this time the civil strife will greatly damage the vitality, and when the time comes, once Lezhou is included in the Han realm, the forces of the Han realm will have no worries, and they can directly take action to seize Lezhou.
Han Xian and other Daqu marshals applied to the Han Court for the fief of "Lezhou", which was based on the situation that the Yellow Turban is now very strong, if the Han Court agrees at this time, the Yellow Turban will be qualified to enter the Han realm and compete for the world; If the Han court does not agree, the Yellow Turban can only retreat outside the Great Wall, but this is also very safe, and the forces in the Han realm will not come out to attack the Yellow Turban.
But once the Yellow Turban was in civil strife, the Han Court agreed to the Yellow Turban's request to belong to the Han Realm, and at that time, the forces in the Han Realm could directly intervene, or directly seek to seize Lezhou, and the Yellow Turban would be truly defeated.
Based on this concern, Qi Taibao agreed to go to the Thirty-Three Levels, not for anything else, but to lay down a piece of territory and be able to settle himself and his friends.
After the dizziness caused by the teleportation array dissipated, Qi Taibao raised his eyes to see that he was on a beach at this time, and when he took out his private map, he was actually in the area of "Wencheng" in Dongwu, and Quan Ji was a person from Yangzhou, and he also recognized that this was the main city of Yangzhou "Wencheng", but he did not have any doubts, and carried out the duties of the deputy general and mobilized the scattered soldiers.
After having a deputy general, Qi Taibao's work is much easier, he even delegated the command to Quan Ji, and he himself became a rampage fierce general, with a deputy general taking over the command, even if he hung on the battlefield, the deputy general would stick to the battle, or lead the remnants to retreat, without causing the entire corps to disperse in a hurry.
However, Qi Taibao will not fight alone on the battlefield, after his heart trick is completed, the mental method of "breathing and concentrating" can mobilize all the soldiers, forming a synchronization rate of more than 50%, and then, attack together, and defend together when damaged.
The higher the synchronization rate, the higher the attack damage, and when you receive damage, the speed and defense of the defense will also be fast and high.
After all the soldiers were gathered, Qi Taibao flipped his hand, and a disc like a disc appeared in the palm of his hand, and the countdown number of "1:30" was revealed on the disk, indicating that there was still an hour and a half to go, and the passage to one of the thirty-three levels would appear.
In the earliest days, the 33rd Pass was a city fortress, with a total of two gates, called the Han Pass and the Tianguan, the Han Pass led to the Han Realm, and the Tianguan led to the Heavenly Court; After the Western Han Dynasty was destroyed, the 33 concerns cut off the passage between the Han Pass and the Tianguan, and continued to erode the territory of the Han Border, and slowly developed into the 33 small worlds, which are commonly known as the "state borders".
The reason for the existence of the Thirty-Three Levels is that the Heavenly Court wants to obtain a roundabout space to avoid the Han Realm being directly exposed to the attack after the Heavenly Court is attacked by the Heavenly Demons; Therefore, once the passage to the Han Pass is cut off, the Thirty-Three Passes will disappear into the void, and if it is still connected to the Heavenly Court, it can still return to its original place and reconnect with the Han Realm.
Once the Han Pass and the Heavenly Pass were cut off, the Thirty-Three Passes disappeared into the void, but it couldn't really disappear, because it was stuck between the Han Realm and the Heavenly Court, no matter how it drifted, the range was always within the twelve states of the Han Realm, so the Heavenly Court slowly found them later, and created the Boundary Gate and the like.
"The king of the Jiuxiao realm is Zhang Fei, but Zhang Fei is not the master of the pass, and the Jiuxiao realm is not a heavy pass, but the territory of the Han realm that was swallowed up by the heavy pass, the real heavy pass has always had clear coordinates, the reason why no one has to recover it is simple, once the heavy pass is recovered, the state boundary will disappear, then, the benefits obtained by the king of the realm like Zhang Fei will all disappear, you say, who will agree to recover?"
This is one of the words that Jiang Gan talked to Qi Taibao before, Qi Taibao was not surprised at all by such an inside situation, the hustle and bustle is all good!
Because it is confined between the Han realm and the heavenly court, the position of the heavy pass will change with the different times, changing every two hours, and it can change 12 times a day. The reason why it is said to be a certain heavy fist is that the thirty-three heavy locks are locked in the void between the Han Realm and the Heavenly Court, constantly moving, and they have long broken the original serial number.
Just as the glass was illuminated and reflected, a light appeared in the void by the beach, and then, a city wall loomed, Qi Taibao did not dare to delay for too long, and led the whole Ji and the soldiers to step through the light together, without any discomfort, just like a normal rush appeared in front of a city.
The city has long been ruined, and there are occasional monsters hidden under the overgrown walls, which makes Qi Taibao vigilant, the human race is just a race between heaven and earth, and there are demons and monsters between heaven and earth, these races appeared earlier than the human race, I heard that they are the descendants left behind during the war of gods and demons, among which the demon race and the demon race once dominated for a while, and the human race was only the food of these two races at the earliest, but I didn't expect that the final winner was the human race.
But the demon race has never given up to regain the right to rule heaven and earth, but unfortunately, the glory of their ancestors has been separated by too long a generation, so far away that the demon race has been completely reduced to barbarism, if a race loses its civilization inheritance, it is not far from extinction. Compared with the tolerant attitude towards the demon race, the human race has zero tolerance for the demon race, the reason is that the demon race has completely fallen to the extraterritorial heavenly demons, so when you see the demon race, you have to destroy it.
Qi Taibao hasn't seen what the demon clan looks like, and I've heard that there are single horns, double horns and the like.
Quan Ji waited for a long time and didn't wait for the order of the chief general, so he had to ask out loud: "Dashuai, but you want to set up a camp?" ”
Qi Taibao nodded, led the demon beast cavalry, axe and shield barbarians and black wolf guards, approaching the dilapidated city wall, the closer he got closer, the more he could feel a desolate aura in the air, Qi Taibao stared at the air, and slowly a strip of green light appeared in his field of vision, Qi Taibao was startled, and suddenly withdrew from the state of heavenly machine mind, and those green lights also disappeared.
"Is this the smell of desolation?" Qi Taibao frowned and muttered.
He didn't know that the breath actually existed in the form of light, but was it really the breath? Definitely not, Qi Taibao took a breath by himself, but there was no light, so what are these green rays? Poison? Or is it something like a curse?
Summoned Quan Ji to ask, Quan Ji first showed a puzzled look, and then, his face changed greatly, and he shouted: "Dashuai, this is the Great Dao Law Wall." ”
Qi Taibao said that he did not understand this technical term.
"The law of heaven and earth, the avenue is three thousand. The Tao is the law, the law is the avenue, the reason why the last general knows that this is the avenue of the law, is to listen to the father, the father has the god of war law, touch the law; Therefore, when he commanded the troops into battle, the God of War Law would emit countless rays of light, connecting the soldiers together, forming a 95% synchronization rate, so as to crisscross the battlefield and be invincible. Quan Ji said with a look of adoration.
Qi Taibao nodded, thinking to himself, "If these are the law lines, then desolation is not a breath, but a law, the law of time?" ”
Guessing in his heart, Qi Taibao took out a low-grade magic weapon-grade battle axe from the storage bag, and threw it forward casually, the battle axe quickly passed through the line wall formed by the desolate aura, and fell into the ground and turned into debris, Qi Taibao was startled, "Nima, how many years will it take to be so fragile?" ”
The city gate is far away, using the treasure of "clairvoyant mirror", only barely to see the words on the city gate, to be correct is the number, it is written "twenty-one", obviously this pass is the twenty-first heavy pass; The area of the pass is not large, it is said to be a city, in fact, it is only tens of thousands of meters left and right, and it can go back and forth in a few minutes.
"What is the use of such a small barrier? Could it be that it is the existence of legal barriers that is so powerful that it is important? Qi Taibao guessed.
