No. 550 Finding a Way Out (5)

When Liu Bei puppeted the Xiongnu Han Zhao, he tolerated the northern part of Bingzhou, the northern part of Jizhou, Youzhou, Pingzhou and other places to cut the meat to the Holy Gate. No matter what Liu Bei thought at the time, no matter what Liu Bei's purpose was at that time, this matter undoubtedly saved Wei Dongsheng a lot of development time.

Imagine, if Liu Bei had taken advantage of the Xiongnu Han and Zhao Guoyun to be hostile to the Absolute Holy Gate at that time, how would the situation develop? Even if Wei Dongsheng can still settle in the north, the price he pays will definitely increase tenfold.

He voted for me with a peach, and I reciprocated with a plum.

If it is not fundamental, Wei Dongsheng is willing to repay Liu Bei's emotional investment.

Unfortunately, the attribution of Qiu Chi is a matter of fundamental principle. Wei Dongsheng was grateful to Liu Bei for his remaining feelings yesterday, Wei Dongsheng was pleased with Liu Bei's choice today, but he was rational and stood on the position of the Absolute Holy Gate and lowered the price slightly: "The Absolute Holy Gate annexed several states of the Qihu and Zhao States with a corner of land, and at present, there is a lack of officials, and the immortals are also lacking, and there is no spare strength to govern the Qiu Chi." ”

Qiu Chi is located between mountains and mountains, and its military and strategic significance is self-evident in a conventional world without an immortal seed system. However, with the immortal seed system, a small number of immortals carrying a small amount of grain and grass can cross mountains and mountains to assault, and all traditional dangerous mountains have lost their military value.

Moreover, Qiu Chi Guoyun is only the green color of "subtracting two levels when encountering enemies", unless the current Qiu Chi Gong Yang Chu advances to level 8 immortals, Wei Dongsheng can easily complete a single kill. If Wei Dongsheng insisted on annexing Qiu Chi, Liu Bei, a level 7 immortal, and Zhuge Liang, a level 6 immortal, would be powerless to stop it. Therefore, the value of Qiu Chi's sacrifice of land is limited, and if Liu Bei's offer is too high, it will be meaningless.

Zhuge Liang quickly sensed Wei Dongsheng's careful thoughts.

Zhuge Liang motioned to Liu Bei to suspend the established strategy, and suddenly complained: "As the saying goes, it is better to be the head of the chicken than the queen of the ox." If possible, we prefer to wait until the fortunes of the country dissipate. Unfortunately, we no longer have the ability to defend the pool of hatred. ”

Wei Dongsheng was surprised: "How can you say this?" ”

Zhuge Liang's sad voice recounted: "The master of the door also knows that the aura of heaven and earth has accelerated its expansion in the past few years, and from Lelang County in Liaodong to Haixi, there are monsters raging everywhere. The big snow mountain in the southwest of Qiuchi has also rapidly bred strong monsters in recent years, and we even encountered a level 8 brown bear demon last year. Qiu Chi fought bloodily for many days, sacrificing more than a dozen immortals to lure the bear demon into a trap before he could kill this man with difficulty. ”

"Then, I went into the mountains to inspect and found that the vast snow-capped mountains had quietly bred countless monsters, and I even saw a level 8 white-lipped deer demon from a distance. A level 8 bear demon almost turned Qiu Chi upside down, what if this level 8 deer demon or a stronger level 9 monster attacked? I, Xuande (Liu Bei), and Zilong (Zhao Yun) and I are no longer able to protect the people of Qiuchi. Only when the master of the sect sends Ran Min and other elites to inspect the Great Snow Mountain can there be hope of protecting the people of Liangzhou from the oppression of monsters. ”

Wei Dongsheng suddenly realized.

No wonder Liu Bei obediently surrendered his land, it turned out that the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau also gave birth to a group of monsters like Peng Lize in the past.

To this day, human beings, or human immortals, are still firmly at the top of the earth's food chain. For example, the Ocean Demon Race, although they have no shortage of high-level immortals, have always relied on the marine lake environment to survive, and can only cut off the human trade in the ocean and invade the coastal areas. Humans can't conquer the ocean, so the sea demon clan wantonly monopolizes the ocean. On land, non-human immortal monsters are even more vulnerable, and in densely populated areas, non-human immortals will be captured and refined by human immortals just a few days or months after they are born; Only in areas where humans cannot set foot or are sparsely populated, such as Peng Lize, Outer Northeast, and the Great Snow Mountains of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, can non-human immortals have the opportunity to slowly grow up.

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau benefits from its unique plateau geographical environment, and gradually has a tendency to transform into the former Peng Lize.

If that were the case, it would be simple.

As an idealist, Wei Dongsheng would not sit idly by and watch Shi Le slaughter the people of the county unscrupulously, nor would he sit idly by and watch the Ocean Demon Clan and the Plateau Demon Clan invade Kyushu. Even if the annexation of Qiu Chi in a short period of time is harmful and unprofitable, Wei Dongsheng must do his best to protect the people of Kyushu.

Wei Dongsheng communicated with Liu Bei and said: "The Absolute Holy Gate has the rules of the Absolute Holy Gate, if I enter Qiu Chi, Qiu Chi must follow Murong Yanguo, Duan Qi, Ran Wei, Di Fu Qin State, etc. to implement the dual leadership system of the county league and the county Taishou. Xuande Gong, Kong Ming Gong, what do you plan to do next? ”

Before Liu Bei Zhaoji Yizhou, he was unwilling to obediently serve Liu Biao's father and son. With decades of experience as Emperor Ji Han and the experience of the puppet Huns Han Zhao and Di Yang Qiuchi, Liu Bei must be even more unwilling to be subordinate. A hero like Liu Bei would not take refuge in the Absolute Holy Gate, and Wei Dongsheng had no intention of being Liu Biao who took in Liu Bei.

Liu Bei pondered for more than ten seconds, and said slowly: "Does the door master know that the Mandate of Heaven is limited to the Western Regions of Kyushu?" ”

Wei Dongsheng nodded and said, "Except for the homeland of Kyushu, there is only a cyan dragon qi in the Wusun Kingdom of the Western Regions in the world. ”

Liu Bei: "The Mandate of Heaven has its pros and cons. Destiny loves aliens, bears, deer, and miscellaneous fish, and often advances to level 8 and 9. And I, a human immortal, have no chance to break through the level 5 barrier unless I respond to the dragon qi or share the fortune of the country. The three Koreas, the Wa Kingdom, and the countless small countries in the west of the Western Regions, who were not favored by the Mandate of Heaven, because there was no special channel for the Dragon Qi National Fortune, most of the new immortals had no chance to break through the level 5 barrier. Kong Ming and I are nothing in Kyushu China, once we decide to leave a foreign country, we will instantly become invincible masters in the eyes of the natives. This may be the only advantage of Destiny. ”

"Does the door master know Shi Hu's current situation?"

"Shi Hu advanced into the west of the Western Regions last year, broke the country of rest, slaughtered its capital, and killed its lord, and the flames were monstrous. More than 100 years ago, there was a revival after the peace of peace, and the reigning lord of the country last year was a generation of male lords. In previous years, this male lord fought in the east and west, defeated Western Qin in the west, defeated Guishan in the east, and occasionally defeated, but also able to stop losses and counterattack, and he was a hero. But when he met Shi Hu, the country of peace was defeated in one battle, and then fought and collapsed, and in just one year, the huge empire disappeared. ”

The resting country in Liu Bei's mouth is actually Sassanid Persia.

The news of Shi Hu's murder of Persia was already known to Wei Dongsheng.

After Shi Hu invaded Sassanid Persia, he not only killed 200,000 local traditional troops, but also slaughtered 17 cities in a row. Perhaps Shi Hu did discover some blood sacrifice rules, and after persistent killing blood sacrifices, Shi Hu was shocked to successfully advance to level 8 immortals in May 351. After the collapse of the national fortunes of the Zhao Kingdom, Shi Hu was still able to continue to advance, obviously breaking a new path beyond the Mandate of Heaven mechanism.

It's just that this new road is so bloody.

If the world followed Shi Hu's example, what would the world be worse for?

After the news of the Shihu Blood Sacrifice Method Advanced Level 8 Immortal reached the Absolute Holy Gate, Wei Dongsheng's heart sank. It was also in order to completely eliminate the legacy of Shihu that Wei Dongsheng decided to visit Yongzhou and Liangzhou in person to suppress those immortal clans who were suspected of conniving at the breeding of tyrannical minds.

Hearing Liu Bei mention Shi Hu's murderous Sassanid Persia, Wei Dongsheng frowned slightly: "Xuande Gong is also curious about Shi Hu's blood sacrifice advancement method?" ”

Liu Bei knew the moral bottom line of the Absolute Holy Gate, and hurriedly shook his head and denied it: "Even if the advanced method of blood sacrifice is true, it is also a demonic and evil way that everyone spurns, how can my generation take it." On the contrary, for the sake of the common people in the world, we should unite to kill Shihu and completely eliminate the scourge. ”

Wei Dongsheng: "The young and the young, the old and the old, the old and the old, are indeed the right principles in the world." But since ancient times, there is a difference between relatives and relatives, and the inner door of the Holy Gate is not quiet, how can there be time to take care of the outer door? The outer door is uneasy, how can there be time to take care of Ji, You, Ping, Shuo and other states? If you are restless, how can you have time to take care of northern China? The uncertain China in the north has no time to take care of the rest of the western regions? If it is to strangle Shi Hu, it is to abandon northern China, that is to lose the watermelon and pick sesame seeds. ”

Liu Bei: "This is nature. However, outside of Kyushu, the owner of the door had better pay attention as soon as possible. ”

Wei Dongsheng asked Liu Bei with a smile: "How do you say this?" ”

Liu Bei explained: "Since the expansion of the aura of heaven and earth, Kong Ming has sent people to be stationed in various states and counties to record the details of various places, and slowly discover some interesting patterns. Ignoring those monsters, when the aura of heaven and earth expanded from Lujiang County to Jiangxia County, when the aura of heaven and earth evenly covered Yu, Jing, Yang, Xu and other prefectures, the birth frequency of new immortals in various places was about the same. Ignoring the factors of increasing number of immortals, ignoring the area factor of states and counties, and ignoring the destiny factor of a small number of dragon qi favorers, the frequency of new immortals is strangely evenly distributed in the land of Kyushu. Generally speaking, the denser the population and the larger the area, the greater the number of new immortals. ”

This means that the aura of heaven and earth and the destiny of heaven and the fortune of the country are two different things. The Mandate of Heaven loves Kyushu alone, the west of Wusun, the east of the coast, the north of Youping, and the south of Jiaozhi, all of which are wildernesses abandoned by the Mandate of Heaven. And in the eyes of the aura of heaven and earth, it has no difference between human and non-human, nor between Huaxia and barbarians. "Heaven and earth are not kind, and all things are dogs", heaven and earth treat all things fairly, and there is no distinction between high and low, superior and inferior. ”

"When the aura of heaven and earth covers the whole world, the west of Wusun, the east of the coast, the north of Youping, and the south of Jiaozhi will all enjoy the gift of heaven and earth aura fairly. The countries in the west of the Western Regions and the countries in the south of the southern frontier are now limited by the accumulation of heritage, not only are the number of immortals very small, but the method of using the aura of heaven and earth is also very shallow. Even if the local natives are lucky enough to advance to the level 5 immortals, they will have the opportunity to be killed by my Kyushu level 3 immortals. The reason why Shi Hu easily captured Anxie, in addition to the invincibility of his level 7 immortals, the skilled cooperation of the rest of the immortals could not be ignored. ”

"The aura of heaven and earth treats everything as ordinary, and Kyushu's first-mover advantage obviously cannot last long. With a buffer of more than ten or decades, the indigenous immortals of the Barbarian State will definitely quickly make up for their shortcomings, and then pose a threat to Kyushu. At this moment, whether it is the south of southern Xinjiang or the west of the Western Regions, it is a fertile land. If you don't take it, you will be blamed! ”

"Furthermore, there is no Heavenly Mandate Punishment outside the Western Regions of Kyushu, once you occupy its country, you may be able to occupy it forever, who is not tempted? Kong Ming had sent information from Jiangnan that Sima Yi was preparing a combined army of immortals and non-immortals, planning to expand to the south. At that time, even if the Jin State suddenly loses its national fortune, Sima Yi will be able to survive in the world forever with the fertile soil of the south. ”

Having said that, Liu Bei's ambition has undoubtedly appeared.
