Chapter 511 The Hook Thief is Punished, and the Country Thief Hou (2)
No. 511 Thief of the Hook, Hou of the Thief of the Country (2)
The word Zhuhou is very vivid.
The principle is similar to "the winner is king, and the loser is the coward", if he fails, the thief will be killed; If it succeeds, then Tu Wan will be the hero and promoted to the throne.
Punishment is the punishment of the loser, and Hou is the reward of the winner.
Perhaps clearly aware of the brutal nature of the escalation of killing, every disciple of the Zhuhou Sect is a gambler who advocates the value of either life or death. Every time he was assassinated, the disciples of the Zhuhou Sect were fighting for their lives. Because once the situation is so critical that there is no chance to escape, the vast majority of the disciples of the Zhuhou Sect will choose to die together or commit suicide by taking poison according to the situation. The reason for such a life or death is also very simple, the creed of the disciples of the Zhuhou Sect is: Even if I can't hunt you as experience points, I won't turn it into nourishment for you to kill and upgrade.
This is the obsession of the disciples of the Zhuhou Sect.
Either die in the middle of growing up, or step on the white bones to the throne.
The core value system of Zhuhoumen is so paranoid.
It is still unclear when the Zhuhou Gate was born. Wei Dongsheng summarized the clues and deduced the origin of the Hou Gate, speculating that it may have prelude to the assassination of Lu Xun. In the summer of 245, the anticlimactic assassination against Lu Xun was suspected to be the handiwork of the founder of Zhuhoumen. Perhaps surprised to find that Lu Xun was unexpectedly strong, and then the Zhuhou Sect hibernated for several years.
In 251, Sima Yi was sick and dying, and the authority was passed on to his eldest son, Sima Shi, who drove to Li'an County to continue his life. Perhaps taboo the traces of Cao Cao in the tiger and leopard camp, or perhaps show that he has no ambition to usurp the throne, Sima Yi did not incorporate the tiger and leopard camp on the spot, but built the exclusive Wuyang camp of Sima's family. The former officials of the Haw Par Battalion had been killed and wounded during the Tatean Mutiny, and it was impossible for Sima Shi to provide logistical support for them after he took office, and now the Haw Par Battalion has long since fallen out of its name, although it continues to exist. In the eyes of the world, the Haw Par Battalion has gradually become a subordinate organization of the Wuyang Battalion, and the Wuyang Battalion has also taken the shell of the Haw Par Battalion as one of the top five traditional schools in Lujiang County.
The Wuyang Camp was not established for a long time, and the Zhuhou Gate suddenly began to become active.
With the winter of 251 as the dividing line, the disciples of the Zhuhou Sect frequently assassinated the immortals under the names of the traditional five powerhouses. Not only Zhou Yu, Liu Bei, Sima Yi, and Sun Quan were assassinated, but also Yangzhou assassin Shi Lukang and Lujiang Taishou Liu Ye under the Absolute Holy Gate, all of whom were almost killed. There are more cases of Zhuhou Gate succeeding, not to mention the four strong ones such as the Yibao Camp, the Wudang Camp, the Trouble-Solving Camp, and the Wuyang Camp, and the Absolute Holy Gate alone, in just five or six years, more than 20 immortals were attacked and died.
More than twenty immortals!
It was not until 256 that the total number of immortal seeds slowly increased to a mere 157. After deducting the share of non-human immortals, and deducting the share of human immortals of the other top four, how many disciples of the Absolute Holy Gate are there in total? A simple comparison of numbers can clearly feel the tragedy in between.
Truth be told, such losses are already very optimistic.
Perhaps the assassination of Lu Xun was unsuccessful back then, and the Zhuhou Gate was particularly vigilant about the heritage of the Absolute Holy Gate. The disciples of the Zhuhou Sect dared to go to the camps of the top four such as the Yibao Camp, the Wudang Camp, the Relief Camp, the Tiger and Leopard Camp, and the Wuyang Camp, but they consciously avoided the Longshu City base camp of the Absolute Holy Gate. When Wei Dongsheng traveled to the county, Zhuhoumen would also flee as soon as possible, so it can be said that wherever Wei Dongsheng goes, there will be a short period of peace.
However, the Zhuhou Sect was afraid of Wei Dongsheng, and perhaps also afraid of Lu Xun and other high-level disciples, but he was never afraid of other low-level disciples. The disciples sent by the Jedi Holy Gate to work in the local area will be assassinated if they are not careful, which has become the experience value of the Zhuhou Gate. Wei Dongsheng couldn't do anything about it, so he could only gather the low-level immortals to protect them, and when he went out, he also moved in groups to reduce the probability of being attacked.
For a time, everyone in the low-level immortals was in danger.
The Immortals felt the malice of the world for a long time, and it turned out that the advanced Immortals were not the end of suffering. On the contrary, after refining the Heaven and Earth Treasures, the immortals also transformed into Heaven and Earth Treasures in human form. Just as non-human beings must be lucky to fuse immortal seeds, human immortals have become a treasure coveted by the evildoers. I don't know how many evil immortals are snooping in the dark, and I don't know how many non-immortals who are eager for immortality but have no chance are planning to plot to assassinate.
The wave of murderous escalation set off by Zhu Erlang was finally carried forward in the hands of Xuhoumen.
In just four or five years, the living environment of the immortals deteriorated rapidly.
Zhuhoumen has no base and no territory, but not many people dare to underestimate it. I don't know how many low-level immortals cowardly huddled in the base areas to keep warm, lest a long sword stab from behind in the next second. With the blood-colored crown condensed by ruthless killing, Xuhou Gate quickly rose to become the sixth strongest force in Lujiang County, and for the vast majority of immortals, it was even far more terrifying than the traditional five powerhouses such as the Absolute Holy Gate.
Of course, Wei Dong's physiological institute could not tolerate the rampant nature of Xuhoumen.
It's a pity that Wei Dongsheng didn't have any good way in a short time.
The Zhuhou Gate was carefully hidden in the dark, and the disciples were accustomed to acting alone, not only could they not find the nest according to the map, but it was also difficult to collect the basic organizational structure information.
Who is the leader of the Zhuhou Gate?
I don't know.
What is the structure of the Zhuhou Gate?
I don't know.
When a confidant doesn't know who, how can Wei Dongsheng suppress Xuhoumen?
Wei Dongsheng carefully arranged a trap and finally captured a Zhuhoumen assassin alive, but the assassin didn't know anything. It's not that the assassin is tight-mouthed, but he really doesn't know that all his impressions of Xuhoumen come from the word of mouth of a fellow disciple. In addition, many of the Assassins who claimed to be disciples of the Zhuhou Sect were not actually the disciples of the Zhuhou Sect, but a group of speculators who pretended to be the disciples of the Zhuhou Sect to kill and escalate with impunity. I don't know what the high-level leaders of the Zhuhou Sect think, they actually acquiesced to a group of speculators pretending to be the disciples of the Zhuhou Sect.
This also indirectly raised the cost of Wei Dongsheng's suppression of the Hou Gate.
Zhuhoumen set an example in the front, speculators fish in troubled waters behind, and the living environment of the immortals is getting worse and worse.
The embarrassment of the Gate was particularly severe.
Wei Dongsheng built the organizational framework for the Absolute Holy Gate, each hall is responsible for a certain type of business, and all the disciples are allocated contribution points according to their work. Whether it is an official general, a craftsman or a trader, or an academic person, as long as the contribution points accumulate a certain amount, they can exchange them for heaven and earth treasures and advance to immortals.
To put it simply, the level of the immortals under the Absolute Holy Gate is not linked to their combat effectiveness.
is also a level 3 immortal, some people are like veterans who have worked hard to study sanda fighting for more than ten years, some people are like athletes who have been deeply involved in the field of table tennis for more than ten years, some people are like chefs who have been greedy for soup and noodles for more than ten years, and some people are like special forces who have been carefully trained by the army for more than ten years.
Taking Lu Kang, Liu Ye and other immortals as examples, their physical fitness and internal force capacity have reached the standard line. However, Lu Kang and Liu Ye attach importance to the current political situation and despise the skills of fighting alone, which can be described as a serious lack of actual combat experience. An immortal of the same level from the military has a high probability of easily winning the combined attack of Lu Kang and Liu Ye.
However, it is the Absolute Holy Gate that encourages the immortals to develop their talents in an all-round way, and does not only respect their actual combat fighting ability.
This is the advantage of the Absolute Holy Gate, but also the disadvantage of the Absolute Holy Gate.
Encountering such an extremely short-term evil force as the Zhuhou Gate, some of the disciples of the Absolute Holy Gate who lacked actual combat experience suddenly fell into the abyss of hell. The civilian immortals who could have been stationed alone in the local area to do things, heard that the demonic flame of the Zhuhou Gate was coming, and the people were immediately panicked, and the existing system of the Absolute Holy Gate was about to be unable to operate smoothly.
In the past, the Absolute Holy Gate, which relied on supernatural forces to divide Dabie Mountain, collided head-on with the Zhuhou Gate, which relied more on supernatural forces to fight.
Of course, Wei Dongsheng will never admit defeat in frustration.
When encountering difficulties, facing difficulties is Wei Dongsheng's character.
Even if it is so difficult that there is no hope in his life, Wei Dongsheng will do his best to practice and complete the faith. Whether in the real world, in the world of the tenth reincarnation, or in the current world of thousand-year killing, Wei Dongsheng's attitude is consistent.
A simple study of the Zhuhou Gate, the problem of the Zhuhou Gate is very typical, and in the final analysis, it is still the sequelae of the culture of "great power in one".
The more capable an individual is, the less dependent he is on the collective.
Non-Immortal conventional cold weapon troops, the courage of the horseman is insignificant, strong to the limit of human beings, and it is impossible to defeat a hundred heavily armed elite guards. Therefore, the reason why elite troops are elite troops is that in addition to the most basic individual quality, the degree of organization is the key benchmark. For example, Han Xin's evaluation of "Han Xin's soldiers, the more the merrier", such a talent is actually very terrifying, a small battle of 1,000 people may not be very good, and the battle is upgraded to a decisive battle at the level of tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands, so as to reflect the value of "the more the merrier".
And as the level of the immortals continues to increase, the value of the conventional cold weapon unit is getting lower and lower. A level 5 immortal can crush a hundred-level elite infantry at will, and a level 6 immortal can crush a thousand-level elite infantry at will. Considering the limited width of the battle line, Level 6 Immortals can fully use their ultra-high mobility to charge back and forth. Even if they are chased by tens of thousands of troops, Level 6 Immortals can also use the left and right roundabout flanking tactics, and if it is a little difficult to engage the enemy, they will immediately use their mobility to withdraw from the battle; Repair for a period of time, continue to attack the enemy position left and right, and continue to charge more than 100 times in a row, no matter how powerful the elite troops of cold weapons will collapse.
The organization of the cold weapon force has lost its deterrent effect on level 6 immortals.
The higher the level of the Immortal, the lower his need for dependence on the collective, and the lower his fear and awe of the collective.
Suppose the master of the Xuhou Sect is a level 6 immortal, when he wants to hide in the darkness completely, he only needs to prepare a person's amount of food, and he can hide in the cave for several months. Lujiang County is so vast, and the terrain of Dabie Mountain is so complicated, how do you ask Wei Dongsheng to search for a level 6 immortal who is desperately hiding himself? If a search team is widely dispatched, the quality of the search team will definitely not be high, and the effect is equivalent to taking the initiative to give him experience points; And if the elite troops are dispatched, the number of search teams will definitely be too small to be smaller, and it is simply a needle in a haystack to find out the master of the Zhuhou Sect based on this.
When the individual ability is too strong, the traditional social system is challenged.
Taking Wei Dongsheng as an example, the Millennium Killing World had just unlocked level 7, and as a level 6 immortal, he was definitely a master among the masters. If Wei Dongsheng didn't care about the lives of the disciples of the Absolute Holy Gate and the lives of the people of Lujiang County in the north, he could also cross the Dabie Mountain with a sword and act entirely on his will. At that time, not only the Yibao Camp, the Trouble-relieving Camp, the Wudang Camp, the Wuyang Camp, etc., will not be able to help Wei Dongsheng, but the Zhuhou Sect will also have no way to take Wei Dongsheng.
The difficulty lies in how to protect one side.
Wei Dongsheng can perfectly guarantee his own safety, but he can't hold up a protective umbrella for all the people of Lujiang County.
