No. 544 Zhao Di Fengyun (3)

Shi Hu actually ran away!

And he ran neatly, and as soon as he threw off the dragon qi mark, Shi Hu led five thousand cronies to flee to Hanhai.

No wonder Shi Hu slaughtered wildly in the Northern Central Plains, it turned out that he was mentally prepared to leave Kyushu.

In fact, this is not a way out.

The Mandate of Heaven mechanism is a characteristic of the land of Kyushu, but it is also an unbearable shackle. For immortals who have the luxury of expecting a hundred years and thousands of years, the Mandate of Heaven mechanism will definitely do more harm than good, why should I just be the emperor for more than ten years, so let me get down and give it to my brother and son? Moreover, the conflict between Shi Le and Shi Hu indirectly shows that the favor of dragon qi is a double-edged sword, and the favor of dragon qi has only been empathized for a few years, and Shi Hu can use the favor of dragon qi to kill Shi Le, the founder of the Zhao Kingdom. With the tragedy of Shile in front of him, even if the country of Qianhu and Zhao has another twenty years of national fortune, how dare Shi Hu dare to expect his children and grandchildren to be virtuous and filial?

This layer after layer of restrictions is really heartwarming.

And if possible, no one wants to be at the mercy of destiny. It happened that good news came from afar, and the Mandate of Heaven mechanism was limited to the fertile soil of Kyushu, and it crossed Wusun to the west, and suddenly the sea and sky were open to birds. Knowing that there was no Destiny mechanism in the west of the Western Regions, Shi Hu had the ambition to go to the west of the Western Regions to create an empire again. I think that without the restriction of the Mandate of Heaven mechanism, his empire will be able to be for a hundred years, thousands of years, or even ten thousand years!

This is Shi Hu's true ambition.

Shi Hu's previous unscrupulous killing frenzy was all in preparation for the expedition to abandon the country.

Actually, it's not just Shi Hu.

Wei Dongsheng personally visited the Asian, European and African continents, and the idea of opening a new base outside of Kyushu flashed in his mind again and again. It is said that Zhuge Liang was ordered to visit the western part of the Western Regions, and Liu Bei was suspected of also having ambitions to recreate the empire outside of Kyushu.

Put aside the heartwarming topic of destiny for the time being.

Shi Hu slaughtered countless people, and he was undoubtedly the butcher's murderer, and the Absolute Holy Gate must severely punish his people to set an example. If it were possible, Wei Dongsheng would definitely like to capture Shi Hu alive and then go to a public trial and sentence Shi Hu and his accomplices to death. It's a pity that Wei Dongsheng is powerless now.

The strength of the Mandate of Heaven punishment is suspected to be positively correlated with the upper limit of the level. In the past, the upper limit of the rank was low, and the punishment of the Mandate of Heaven was limited, so Liu Bei and Sun Quan had the opportunity to continue their lives for the country for a few years. Now, with the continuous improvement of the punishment of the Mandate of Heaven, the constraints of the Mandate of Heaven on Kyushu are getting stronger and stronger, and those who are so strong that they are helpless at level 10.

The day after Wei Dongsheng announced the southern expedition, Shi Hu deprived the Absolute Holy Gate of the legal principle of ruling Youzhou on behalf of the Zhao State of Qihu.

In the national fortune plate, Jidu and other places belong to the state of Qihu and Zhao, and Shi Le was afraid of Wei Dongsheng in the past, and gave the compromise between Youzhou and the northern part of Jizhou to the Absolute Holy Gate. Over the years, the Absolute Holy Gate has successively ruled Youzhou and Pingzhou under the pretense of the national fortunes of Sima Jin, Xiongnu Han Zhao, Qianhu Zhao and other countries, and circumvented the punishment of the Mandate of Heaven by curvy methods to save the country. When Shi Hu deprived the Absolute Holy Gate of the legal principle of ruling Youzhou, Wei Dongsheng suddenly found that the constraints of the Mandate of Heaven mechanism were becoming more and more severe: if it weren't for the rules of the Mandate of Heaven's punishment that were increasing year by year, the fertile soil of Jidu and other places would definitely be crippled by natural and man-made disasters in an instant.

Even if Wei Dongsheng did his best to avoid the punishment of the Mandate of Heaven, the Absolute Holy Gate was still exhausted by natural and man-made disasters, large and small. It is precisely because the more "Qi Luck Law Territory" is occupied in the Zhao Kingdom, the more unbearable the punishment of the Mandate of Heaven becomes, even if Wei Dongsheng conquers Changshan County, Xiangguo County and other places, he does not dare to formally annex its people.

It wasn't until Shi Shi was captured that Wei Dongsheng ordered Shi Shi to re-accept the Absolute Holy Gate to rule Youzhou on behalf of the Zhao State of Qianhu, and the natural and man-made disasters near Jidu suddenly stopped.

With Tianxian in his mouth, he is as fierce as this.

It's a pity that Shi Shi's luck is few.

In June 349, Shi Shi had just enjoyed the favor of the dragon qi on the 33rd, and the dragon qi of the Zhao Kingdom of Qihu was quickly transferred to Shi Zun.

Under the constraints of the Mandate of Heaven, whoever is favored by the dragon qi is recognized as the true son of the dragon. With the prophecy of the Heavenly Mandate Dragon Qi, Shi Le and Shi Hu are no longer entangled in the selection of heirs, and their children and grandchildren can only resent the ruthlessness of the Heavenly Mandate. Without the interest disputes of the succession to the throne, Shi Hu and his sons have always had a deep father-son relationship, which is completely different from the real world Shi Hu's family relationship.

Shi Hu led 5,000 cronies to migrate to the west, and Shi Zun stayed in Bingzhou and was ordered to buy buffer time for Shi Hu. Shi Zun seemed to love Shi Hu very much, and regardless of the general trend that the Zhao Kingdom was about to lose the mandate of heaven, he decisively carried out Shi Hu's military orders. First deprived the Absolute Holy Gate of the legal principle of ruling Youzhou, and then Shi Zun called on the heroes to attack Wei Dongsheng in the name of the monarch of the Zhao State.

So, after 33 days, the thistle once again ushered in the punishment of the mandate of heaven.

With the Mandate of Heaven punishing and dragging down the Absolute Holy Gate, and Shi Zunzhen guarding Taiyuan County, how did Wei Dongsheng pursue Shi Hu?

Besides, Shi Hu lost the favor of the dragon qi, and from now on, he could no longer quickly find his approximate location through the dragon qi that soared into the sky. As an ordinary level 7 immortal, Shi Hu could easily hide in the mountain nest, and Wei Dongsheng would spend years without gaining. No matter how eager Wei Dongsheng was to capture Shi Hu alive and convict him, he had to compromise the reality and temporarily let go of Shi Hu, who migrated west.

His gaze moved back to the Qianghu Zhao Kingdom in front of him.

Shi Zun's threat is actually very limited.

Similar to Shi Shi, Shi Zun only has one year of dragon qi at most. When the kingdom of Qihu Zhao is about to lose the mandate of heaven, a fool will obey Shi Zun's orders. Moreover, waiting to see the changes in the future national fortunes, the Yan Kingdom, which is a puppet of the Holy Gate, is suspected to be the mandate of heaven of the six states of Zhaoyou, Hebei, Qing, Yan, Henan, and He. Youzhou is the core territory of the Absolute Holy Gate, needless to say. The people of the five states of He, Ji, Qing, Yan, and Henan, who originally belonged to the Zhao State of Qianhu, knew that the Mandate of Heaven was about to empathize with the Xianbei Yan Kingdom of the Murong Department, and they all declared themselves to be good in advance.

The luck of Yongzhou and some of the Sizhou plates is clearly distinguishable from the luck of the Xianbei Yan Kingdom of the suspected Murong Department, and there is obviously another true dragon born here, which is incompatible with the Mandate of Heaven of the Yan Kingdom. Since the Absolute Holy Gate did not have the mandate of heaven to enter the Guanzhong, the people of the Yongzhou clan were not sensitive to the Absolute Holy Gate, and even refused the kindness of the Absolute Holy Gate under the banner of Shi Zun.

Wei Dongsheng was not annoyed by this.

Under the Mandate of Heaven mechanism, the people of the world are all grass on the wall, so why bother with their choices. In fact, if it weren't for Shi Hu's perverse act of slaughtering the people, the people of the Bazhou clan would definitely wait until the country of Qianhu and Zhao lost its national fortune, instead of surviving in the dead and hastily erecting the anti-flag. Instead of spending his mind on the wall grass of the Guanzhong clan, Wei Dongsheng should think about how to solve the Heavenly Mandate punishment in Youzhou.

In mid-July, Lu Xun sent a message: "If the Absolute Holy Gate allows Shi Shi, Shi Zun, Shi Jian, Shi Yi and others to go west, Shi Zun is willing to withdraw his curse on Youzhou." ”

It turned out that Shi Zun's decisiveness was Shi Hu's plan to save the lives of his three sons.

If Wei Dongsheng insisted on besieging and killing Shi Shi, Shi Zun, Shi Jian, and Shi Yi, the innocent people of Youzhou who died innocently during the Mandate of Heaven would be Shi Hu's return gift. The punishment of the Mandate of Heaven hanging above the people of Youzhou is Shi Hu's extortion of the hostages of the Holy Gate.

Is the lives of dozens or even hundreds of thousands of Youzhou people important, or are the lives of Shi Hu's four sons important?

Wei Dongsheng chose the former in silence.

However, Wei Dongsheng did not rush and did not accept Shi Zun's lion's big mouth blackmail. Wei Dongsheng replied to Shi Zun that if he wanted to follow in Shi Hu's footsteps, Shi Zun must honestly cooperate with the policy of the Absolute Holy Gate. Perhaps because Shi Zun's dragon aura was only favored for a year at most, he was greedy for life and afraid of death, and he had no confidence to delay time to negotiate conditions, so he quickly compromised and agreed to Lu Xun's series of diplomatic blackmail.

At the beginning of August, Shi Zun, on behalf of the state of Qihu and Zhao, granted the Jushengmen the jurisprudence of ruling the prefectures of Ji, Qing, Yan, Henan, Si, Bing, and Yong.

In order to save his life, Shi Zun immediately decisively chose to betray the old generals who were loyal to the Zhao Kingdom, and gave Liu Jing, Fu Hong, Zhang Ju, Wang Wu, Yao Yizhong and other immortals to the Absolute Holy Gate.

From Wei Dongsheng's point of view, this deal is a big profit.

Liu Jing, Zhang Ju, Wang Wu and others are just that, Fu Hong is the founder of the former Qin, and Yao Yizhong's son Yao Chang is the founder of the Later Qin. With the cooperation of Shi Zun and others, Wei Dongsheng did not need to expose his hole cards that knew the fate of the future destiny, and he successfully mastered the descendants of Fu Hong and Yao Yizhong.

In the context of real-world history, the state of Zhao collapsed, and the Xianbei Yan State of Murong annexed Ran Wei, coexisting with the Qin State of Difu; Fu Jian led the Qin State to annex the northern states such as Qianyan, Dai, Qianliang, and Qiuchi, and just had the potential to swallow the world, and suddenly encountered the famous Battle of Weishui, and the empire collapsed in an instant; The Xianbei of the Tuoba Department took the opportunity to restore the country and establish the Northern Wei Dynasty, gradually annexed the countries born because of the collapse of the former Qin, and unified the north again after the former Qin Fujian, known as the Northern Dynasty in history.

Murong Jun, who represented the Xianbei Yan State of the Murong Tribe, Fu Hong, who represented the Qin State of Di Fu, and Tuoba Shiyiqian, who represented the Xianbei Dynasty of the Tuoba Tribe, have all been detained and imprisoned by the Absolute Holy Gate. If there were no other implicit constraints on the Mandate of Heaven mechanism, the Absolute Holy Gate could at least rule the north until the Eastern and Western Wei were divided, which would mean a long peace of 180 years. The Qin State of Di Fu is an important node from the Xianbei Yan State of the Murong Department to the Xianbei Wei State of the Tuoba Department, and the value of detaining Fu Hong to eliminate the ten-year crisis is much stronger than arresting Shi Hu's four sons.

Gossip aside.

In December 349, the dragon qi of the Zhao Kingdom of Qihu was transferred to Shi Jian's body, and Shi Jian's hiding place was instantly exposed.

Similar to the sad Shi Shi and Shi Zun, Shi Jian waited and saw the good fortune of the dragon qi, and he only had a year of qi at most. Shi Jian had already passed the news with Shi Zun, he did not have the courage to resist the destiny of heaven, and he also chose to compromise with interest. Shi Jian ceded the power to control the dragon qi of the Zhao Kingdom to the Absolute Holy Gate, hoping to exchange for his life.

In January 350, the Youzhou plate qi was separated from the state of Qianhu and Zhao and merged into the Xianbei Yan state of the Murong tribe, and the dragon qi of the state of Xianghu and Zhao was downgraded from purple to crimson.

Shi Jian had already compromised, and whether the dragon qi was purple or crimson was meaningless.

However, the luck of the Youzhou plate is integrated into the Xianbei Yan Kingdom of the Murong Department, which is good news. Murong Jun, the lord of the Xianbei Yan Kingdom, was imprisoned in Trapped Dragon City, which was more credible than the four sons of Shihu who were hiding in Tibet, and the control of Youzhou by the Absolute Holy Gate became more and more worthy of the name.

However, the legal rule of other counties in the Zhao Kingdom still had to rely on the protection of Shijian.
