561st Wave (VIII)

Luckily, the process was surprisingly easy.

In 426, the national fortune of the Xiongnu Helian Xia was downgraded to green, and the difficulty of arresting Helian Chang was greatly reduced.

It's a pity that Wei Dongsheng didn't have time to rest. The Absolute Holy Gate had just arrested Helian Chang, and the dragon qi of the Xiongnu Helian Xia Kingdom had been transferred to Helian Chang's fifth brother Helian Ding, and the suppression of the Xiongnu Helian Xia State had to be arranged from scratch. And Helian Ding's hidden danger has not been solved for a long time, and Rouran's dragon qi has been transferred to Wu Ti, the son of Da Tan, and the Absolute Holy Gate must divide its strength to suppress Rouran's national fortunes.

In 431, the fortunes of the Xianbei Qin State dissipated; The national fortunes of the Xiongnu Helian Xia State dissipated.

As soon as Wei Dongsheng took a breath, news of Liu Yu and Sima Yi's reconciliation suddenly came from the south. After several negotiations, Liu Yu, Sima Yi, He Wuji, Lu Xun, Sun Quan and other five forces jointly signed the Jin and Song peace agreements. Liu Yu and Sima Yi compromised with each other, and Sima Yi returned Liu Yifu, the eldest son of Liu Yu, who had lost the favor of the dragon qi, to Liu Yu, and handed over Liu Yilong, the third son of Liu Yu, the patron of Liu Song's dragon qi, and Liu Shao, the eldest son of Liu Yilong, and Liu Jun, the third son of Liu Yilong, to a third party, Sun Quan Wu Guo. Sun Quan promised never to use Liu Yilong, Liu Shao, Liu Jun and other dragon qi favorites to endanger the interests of Sima Yi, Liu Yu, Lu Xun, He Wuji and others.

After reaching a peace consensus, the five forces negotiated the division of territory.

Leaving aside the triviality of counties in Southeast Asia, southern China has all cut states and counties to refine. Liu Yu ruled seven prefectures, including Yangzhou, Southern Yanzhou, Southern Xuzhou, Southern Yuzhou, Yingzhou, Yongzhou, and Xiangzhou; Sima Yi ruled five prefectures, including Ningzhou, Yizhou, Qinzhou, Liangzhou, and Jingzhou; He Wuji directly ruled the two states of Dongyangzhou and Jiangzhou; Lu Xun ruled directly over the two prefectures of Guangzhou and Jiaozhou. In addition to the traditional western regions of Kyushu, southern Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, the Malay Peninsula part of Myanmar, the Malay Peninsula part of Malaysia, Singapore and other places are all assigned to Sun Quan Wu; Thailand and other parts of Burma, Laos and other places were the territory of Sima Yijin.

Obviously, Liu Yu suffered the most. Liu Yu could obviously rule southern China, but he was tacitly suppressed by the other four forces in the land of seven states. Sima Yi and Sun Quan were the gainers, Sima Yi kept the land of the five states, and Sun Quan took the opportunity to restore the country outside the territory.

Peace is a good thing.

But for the Absolute Holy Gate, the peace between Liu Yu and Sima Yi was not a good thing.

The year after Liu Yu reconciled with Sima Yi, he suddenly asked for the Huaibei Territory from the Absolute Holy Gate: "Xuzhou, southern Qingzhou, southern Yuzhou, etc. are all places where my Song Kingdom should be ordered, and the Mandate of Heaven is immense. ”

The Gate refused.

Liu Yu immediately issued a declaration of war with a tough attitude: "If you don't want it, I will take it myself." ”

The Absolute Holy Gate didn't think so at first, Liu Yu had fallen to the point that there were only seven states left, how could he have the capital to go north to the Absolute Holy Gate? Don't say that the combat effectiveness of the non-immortal group is only in terms of the quantity and quality of the immortal group, the Absolute Holy Gate far exceeds Liu Yu, why did Liu Yu go on the Northern Expedition? Unexpectedly, the development of the situation was dizzying, and after Liu Yu announced the Northern Expedition Declaration, not only He Wuji, Lu Xun and others quickly expressed their support, but Sima Yi and Sun Quan also gladly expressed their support. Sima Yi sent Sima Shi to garrison Hanzhong, and Sima Zhao to garrison Jingzhou Nanjun, with the arrow pointing north; Sun Quan personally led fifty sail warships to Southern Yanzhou, and the threat of troops was self-evident.

The five forces that broke their heads a few years ago were actually ready to work together to besiege the Absolute Holy Gate.

The upper echelons of the Absolute Holy Gate inhaled coldly.

It coincides with the unlocking of the level 16 cap in the World Will in 431, and the combat power of the immortals is relatively easy to calculate:

In the camp of the Southern Alliance, Sun Quan has long lost the favor of dragon energy, and now he is favored by the first-tier celebrities who have advanced to level 9 immortals; Lu Xun advanced to level 8 with the favor of second-class celebrities; He Wuji advanced to level 7 with the favor of third-tier celebrities, and their threats were very limited.

Sima Yi also lost the favor of dragon energy, and his level stagnated at level 11; Sima Shi, Sima Zhao and others are stagnant at level 10; Sima Yan stagnated at level 9 and was equaled by Sun Quan and other first-tier celebrity patrons. Sima Rui, another important backbone of the Sima family, was previously killed by Liu Yu in Jiankang and has passed away. In addition, after Sima Yi withdrew from the Western Regions of Kyushu, most of the famous ministers of the family who enjoyed the national fortune of Sima Jin in the past, Wang Dao, Xie An and so on, drew a clear line with Sima Yi and stayed in their hometown as a famous family.

Only the favored dragon spirit of the Liu family Song Guo is slightly more threatening. Thanks to the 431 wave of upgrades, Liu Yu advanced to level 12 immortals; Liu Muzhi is stagnant at level 10; Zhu Lingshi, Tan Daoji, Pei Songzhi, Fan Ye, Wang Zhenxi, Du Huidu, Xu Xianzhi, Fu Liang, Xie Hui, Zhi Yanzhi, Xie Lingyun, Xiao Sihua, etc. advanced to level 10. Perhaps because of the existence of the level 10 threshold, Liu Song failed to give birth to level 11 immortals, but a full thirteen level 10 immortals emerged in batches.

Through strategies such as dragon qi transfer, the Absolute Holy Gate has also cultivated many immortals who have stagnated at the level 10 threshold. The Nine Giants of the Fourth Century, Lu Xun, Zuo Ci, Lu Kang, Ding Feng, Ran Min, Tang Xueguang, Xiao Qunqi, Chu Yonghe, and other Eight Giants re-elected by the Absolute Holy Gate, are all currently all Level 10 Immortals. Even the sixteen directors under the Big Eight are all level 10 immortals, and their background is several times thicker than that of the Liu family and the Song Kingdom.

If only the land struggle is considered, the Absolute Holy Gate is not afraid of the Southern Coalition Army at all.

However, the Southern Coalition also had the help of the Sea Demon Clan. The Ocean Demon Clan has no restrictions such as dragon energy favor or fame favor, and before the upgrade wave in 431, level 13 or even level 14 Ocean Demon Clan has frequently appeared. With the Ocean Demon Clan controlling the hegemony of the Western Pacific Ocean, the Absolute Holy Gate will definitely be in a passive position when it is in battle. For example, when Sima Yi launched a general offensive in Guanzhong, Sun Quan, Lu Xun, He Wuji and others suddenly led the navy to raid the northern coast and even Jidu, how did the Absolute Holy Gate respond?

Even, the crisis is more severe than Wei Dongsheng imagined.

At the beginning of 433, there was a police report from the west, Liu Bei Hanguo and Shihu Zhao Guo also announced their side with Liu Yu one after another, and the southern coalition army suddenly became a maritime alliance. Except for Zhang Junliangguo, who was hiding inland, the Absolute Holy Gate was the enemy of the whole world for a time, and there were enemy troops everywhere in the southeast, northwest, and north.

A catastrophic tsunami rushed to the Holy Gate.

Jidu is thousands of miles away from Anxizhou, and the result of defense everywhere must be failure everywhere. Wei Dongsheng urgently convened a high-level meeting to unify his thinking, and decided to strategically abandon the coastal counties of Anxizhou, Pingzhou, and northern Yanzhou, and lead the enemy to the inland battlefield for a decisive victory.

In March 433, Liu Yu continued to gather heavy troops on the Huai River, and war was likely to break out at any time.

Wei Dongsheng rushed to the front line of the Huaibei Theater and personally stationed in Pengcheng County to face Liu Yu, the highest quality of the maritime coalition army. By the year 433, the number of human immortals in the Western Regions of Kyushu had rapidly swelled to about 7,500, but their absolute proportion was still insufficient to meet all the needs of the war. In addition to the elite immortals who served as sharp knives, Pengcheng County also concentrated more than 30,000 non-immortal troops.

In terms of military technology, after deducting the derived weapons of Psicos, the firepower of the non-immortal troops of the Absolute Holy Gate can probably be compared to the British Red Coats in the real-world era of queuing up to shoot. Of course, this analogy is very inappropriate, after all, with an immortal who can mow the grass, Wei Dongsheng is simply braindead to play a pure queue shooting tactic. The so-called similarity here refers purely to the impact force of the gun.

Standing upright and looking down at the busy soldiers, Wei Dongsheng's face was full of sadness.

It's a hard war.

The firepower impact of the Red Coats Army level is simply not able to cope with the mobile aggression of the Navy.

Just when Wei Dongsheng was worried, news suddenly came from the diplomatic department: Wang Meng, an important figure in the Maritime Alliance, asked for a face-to-face call with Wei Dongsheng.

Wei Dongsheng thought about it and approved Wang Meng's application. At the beginning of April, Wei Dongsheng came to the south bank of the Huai River and had a face-to-face communication with Wang Meng, who crossed the river alone. Because Wei Dongsheng removed his disguise and restored his true appearance, Wang Meng failed to recognize Wei Dongsheng, and spoke in a businesslike manner. April is the time when the spring flowers are blooming, under the shade of green leaves, among the fragrant flowers, Wang Meng's compassionate voice sighed: "If there is no war and smoke in the world, how good would it be?" ”

Wei Dongsheng sneered in his heart.

According to the investigation and analysis of the intelligence department of the Absolute Holy Gate, Wang Meng's status in the Ocean Alliance is very special, and Liu Yu, He Wuji, Lu Xun, Sun Quan and others respect him very much. This time, the seven families attacked the Holy Gate, and Wang Meng played a role that could not be ignored. Wang Meng was obviously the initiator of the war, but at this time, he was compassionate and compassionate in front of Wei Dongsheng, and he was really hypocritical.

Wang Meng sensed Wei Dongsheng's disapproval, and decisively talked about the current situation: "Does the door master know why He Wuji, Lu Xun, Sun Quan and others drove the Ocean Demon Clan?" ”

Wei Dongsheng took the opportunity to ask: "Why?" ”

Wang Meng: "Whether it is the theory of immortals or pets, it is deliberately covered up by He Wuji and others. In fact, the Ocean Demon Clan has never been the pet mount of He Wuji, Lu Xun, and Sun Quan. On the contrary, He Wuji, Lu Xun, and Sun Quan sometimes had to ask for and provide for the Ocean Demon Clan, and do their best to maintain their alliance with the Ocean Demon Clan. ”

Wei Dongsheng was surprised: "Allies? ”

Wang Meng smiled: "Has the sect master ever encountered a sea demon clan above level 10?" ”

Wei Dongsheng nodded: "Yes." ”

Wei Dongsheng's level 14 cultivation was not blown by a strong wind, and the experience after level 10 must have been forged with the blood of level 10 monsters.

Wang Meng: "Compared to the Ocean Demon Clan below level 10, has the sect master noticed that the Ocean Demon Clan above level 10 is more intelligent, and some are not even weaker than humans?" ”

Wei Dongsheng's expression suddenly became serious, and his doubts in the past suddenly seemed to have an answer.

Wei Dongsheng was silent for a long time, and asked Wang Meng leisurely: "The ocean also gave birth to the wisdom demon clan?" ”

Wang Meng frowned: "Also? ”

Wei Dongsheng smiled and explained: "Decades ago, the Xiqiang (Qinghai-Tibet) Plateau gave birth to a wise demon clan comparable to human wisdom, and once brought countless losses to the Absolute Holy Gate and the Wuyang Camp. In order to avoid the regeneration of the Xiqiang Plateau, the Absolute Holy Gate and the Wuyang Battalion secretly set up a joint patrol team to regularly eliminate the animal and plant demon clans above level 10. Sima Yi doesn't even tell you this bit of information, it seems that your Ocean Alliance is not united! ”

Wang Meng's face changed slightly.
