No. 536 Shiler (3)

In addition to the founder Shi Le, Shi Le's nephew Shi Hu also broke through the barrier and advanced to the level 6 immortal.

Sima Shi's rash killing of Chen Min attracted a dragon qi backlash, and now only the level 7 immortal Sima Yi and the level 6 immortal Sima Zhao were left in the Jin room. Liu Bei's camp has two level 6 immortals, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, and there is only one level 9 immortal in the Absolute Holy Gate, Wei Dongsheng. With Shi Hu's assistance, Shi Le has already equaled the current strongest Jin family, and they have the ability and confidence to ask for more shares.

In the winter of 322, Scheller adjusted his foreign relations.

The strength of the Zhao Kingdom and the Jin family seems to be at most, at most Shi Le is better at fighting than Sima Yi, and it is difficult to distinguish the victory or defeat with the Sima family in a short time. And Wei Dongsheng is in charge of the Absolute Holy Gate, and the "Wu Wushu Phalanx" that Wei Dongsheng spent more than 100 years climbing the science and technology tree is also not to be underestimated. Since ancient times, persimmons have been picked up and pinched, and the thicker the Jin Chamber and the Absolute Holy Gate, the more Shile hopes for peaceful coexistence.

Even if Liu Bei's future threat is not considered, the Xiongnu Zhao State, which is about to lose the Mandate of Heaven, is the best direction for Shi Le's troops.

Faced with the dispute between the Zhao State of the Xiong Hu and the Zhao State of the Xiongnu, Sima Yi chose to remain silent. Sima Yi only had the interests of the Jin family in his eyes, and the more fierce Shi Le and Liu Bei fought hard, the happier he was. Unless one side is defeated, Sima Yi will intervene in time to avoid the integration of the two families into a big trouble.

Wei Dongsheng also chose to remain silent.

With the last anticlimactic cooperation, Wei Dongsheng has given up the idea of further intimate cooperation with Liu Bei. Sima Yi and Liu Bei are both cold-blooded heroes, and even if ethnic contradictions become politically correct, they only shout two slogans. Respecting the king is in line with their own interests, and these heroes will raise the banner of begging for mercy.

In addition to using the power of the Level 9 Immortal to take the opportunity to ask Shi Le to allow the refugees from Merge Prefecture and Jizhou to merge the two states, Wei Dongsheng coldly refused all of Liu Bei's requests for cooperation.

Perhaps because they knew that the Xiongnu Zhao State was irretrievable, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang did not work hard to save the overall situation, and the Xiongnu Zhao State was repeatedly defeated in the face of the invasion of the Xiongnu Zhao State. Year after year passed, the Xiongnu Zhao State slowly lost the Qing, Yan, Si, and other states, and the territory of the Xiongnu Zhao State became more and more vast.

It was not until Shi Le captured Luoyang that Sima Yi was worried that Shi Le would have to use troops in the south after defeating Liu Bei, so he began to actively assist the Xiongnu Zhao State, which was about to collapse. Considering that the Xiongnu Zhao State would be punished by the Mandate of Heaven after the complete loss of its national fortune, Sima Yi allowed Liu Bei to lead the remnants of the Xiongnu Zhao State to continue to fight against Shile in Yong, Qin, Liang and other states under the pretext of the Jin State's national fortune.

It's been 330 years in the blink of an eye.

In 330, World Will unlocks the level 11 cap on time.

In October 330, the fortunes of the state of Zhao changed from crimson to purple, and Shile's dragon qi also advanced to purple.

The Purple Dragon Fist matched with the Purple Dragon Qi was able to reduce the enemy by four levels, and Shi Le's combat power became more and more terrifying.

Unexpectedly, before Sima Yi, Liu Bei and other immortals could marvel at Shi Le's purple dragon qi, the news of Shi Le's advancement to level 8 immortals came from Jizhou. With the purple dragon fist and the strength of a level 8 immortal, Liu Bei and Sima Yi looked at each other in shock: "Who else in the world can contain Shi Le?" ”

The follow-up development is even more terrifying.

After Shi Le advanced to level 8, the immortal Wenchen generals under his command also advanced: Shi Hu advanced from level 6 to level 7; Liu Xian, Fu Hong, Zhang Ju, Wang Wu and the other four broke through the barrier and advanced to the level 6 immortals. With an 8th-level immortal, a 7th-level immortal, and 4 6th-level immortals, the family of Qihu Zhao Guo can defeat the union of Sima Yi and Liu Bei.

Terrifying!

In the face of the sudden rise of the Zhao Kingdom, Wei Dongsheng couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis.

The shock was followed by the wonder, why did the Mandate of Heaven love Shiler so much?

When Liu Bei was reminded to be vigilant against Shi Le's hidden dangers, Wei Dongsheng conveniently planted several dark chess pieces around Shi Le to supervise Shi Le's every move at close range. After Shi Le established the Zhao State, these secret chess pieces all turned into Shi Le's close confidants because of their early defection, and they continuously passed on the secret information of the Zhao State to the Absolute Holy Gate. Summarizing the secret information of dark chess, although Shi Le has killed a lot over the years, it is difficult for him to accumulate enough experience from level 7 to level 8. Even if Shile is qualified to break through the threshold, he shouldn't have enough experience points, huh?

In just over ten years, Shile has quickly risen from level 5 to level 8, why?

It wasn't until the military generals of the Zhao State broke through the level 5 barrier on a large scale that Wei Dongsheng thought about it and guessed one of the possibilities.

Take a look at these immortals who have broken through the level 5 threshold.

In real-world history, Shi Hu was Emperor Taizu Wu of the Zhao Kingdom, and there was no need to explain other details. After the collapse of the Zhao State, Liu Xian was called Emperor Zhao in the Xiangguo; Fu Hong established the former Qin, and Zhang Ju established the Zhang Qin; Wang Wu established Anguo, and they are all dragons in troubled times who are recorded in the annals of real-world history.

After realizing it, when I observed the Jin Dynasty, although Sima Yi, Sima Shi, Sima Zhao and others were not historical emperors, they were all undoubtedly the founders of the Sima Jin Kingdom. If Wei Dongsheng's speculation is true, one of the important factors for breaking through the level 5 threshold may be the fate of historical emperors.

Whether Shi Le advanced to level 6 before, or now advanced to level 8, it is a derivative effect of the favor of Heaven.

Why did Sima Yi stagnate for level 7 for a long time, while Shi Le was able to quickly advance to level 8?

The answer may be the double restriction of the rise and fall of national fortunes and the upper limit of rank.

In 330, the Will of the World unlocked the level 11 cap, and the national fortune of the Kingdom of Karahu and Zhao advanced from crimson to purple. With these two core factors, Shile was able to quickly advance to level 8. Perhaps, with these implicit buff states, Shi Le only needs one-third or even one-tenth of his experience points to rush to a level 8 immortal high position that the world can't imagine.

On the other hand, when the Jin room is strong, the upper limit of the level is lower; The level cap has been raised, but the national fortune of the Jin room has been downgraded to crimson. It was precisely because the national fortunes of the Jin family continued to be downgraded to crimson that Sima Yi was depressed and stagnated at level 7 for many years.

Of course, Wei Dongsheng's speculation is incomplete.

For example, Liu Bei.

Another example is Zhuge Liang.

If Liu Bei somehow stole the luck of Liu Yuan, the founder of the Xiongnu Han Kingdom, it may be reluctantly explained. But why Zhuge Liang was able to advance to level 6 immortal early, Wei Dongsheng was puzzled. However, looking at Zhuge Liang, he has been stagnant at level 6 over the years, and his original advancement was just a special case that could not be replicated, unlike the universal law of historical emperors.

There is also Lu Youyu, the master of the Zhuhou Gate, and he may also be some kind of special case.

The topic returns to the sudden rise of the Zhao Kingdom.

Although Sima Yi and Liu Bei were shocked in their hearts, they did not feel hopeless, and even immediately bowed down to Shi Le.

The reason is simple, Shile's dragon qi luck will soon come to an end.

The sudden rise of the Zhao Kingdom is already the end of 322, and Shi Le has a year to enjoy at most. Existing experience shows that after the dragon qi escapes, the dragon fist deterrence is gone. Without the protection of the Purple Dragon Fist, which is reduced by four levels in the face of the enemy, Shi Le will definitely be demoted to a level 8 immortal in an instant, and the threat will be reduced by half.

Moreover, wait and see the future transfer of dragon qi in the Zhao Kingdom: Shi Le's second son Shi Hong has a maximum of 2 years of good luck, but Shi Le's nephew Shi Hu has 15 years of good luck. Obviously, Shi Hong can only play a buffering role, and the military and political power of the Zhao State will be transferred to Shi Hu in the future. Although Shi Le was confident that he would be like Sima Yi and would be able to conquer Zhao Guo like Sima Yi, his subordinates quietly communicated with Shi Hu and prepared the way back in advance. After all, there are only 19 years left in the national fortune of the Zhao Kingdom, and as long as everyone survives for another year, it may be Shi Le's turn to have a headache and the threat of Shi Hu.

As a Level 8 Immortal, Shile clearly understood that his mission had come to an end.

Schler, however, is very confident.

Cheng Yao, a national relative, persuaded Shi Le to imprison Shi Hu: "Liu Bei is in Jingyi, and the emperor does not pass on Liu Chan; Liu Bei imprisoned Liu Yuan's entire clan in Pingyang, which proved an effective policy for governing the country. Your Majesty instead of giving up the throne to his nephew, why not puppet Shi Hu and rule my Da Zhao forever? ”

Shi Le smiled: "If your nephews are not credible, who else can believe them?" Zhao Guo was created by me, even if Shi Hu was favored by the dragon qi, would he dare to oppose me? This matter is not to be mentioned! ”

In order to reassure Shi Hu, Shi Le immediately took Shi Hu south to attack Yuzhou: "My uncle and nephew will go hunting the Central Plains, try to see who can stop it?" ”

Perhaps the level 8 immortal and the purple dragon qi sheltered Shi Le's confidence, and Shi Le and Shi Hu both showed their true colors in this southern expedition and regained their brutal nature again. In a series of counties from the Yellow River to the Huai River, the blood of Shi Le and Shi Hu all the way flowed into a river, and nearly one million people died either directly or indirectly, and for a time the Central Plains was full of demonic flames.

In order to keep the foundation of the Jin family, Sima Yi humbly begged Liu Bei and the Absolute Holy Gate to help, hoping to form a crusade against Shile again; On the one hand, he secretly contacted Shi Hu, saying that the Jin family supported Shi Hu to be the real Great Zhao Heavenly King, and hoped that Shi Hu and Shi Le would part ways.

Soon after Shi Le's attack on the Huai River, the dragon qi of the Zhao Kingdom of Qihu was transferred to the second son Shi Hong.

Without the protection of the Purple Dragon Fist, Shi Le's sense of security was greatly weakened, so he regained his composure slightly. Regaining his senses, Shi Le no longer vented his pent-up thirst for killing that had been suppressed for more than ten years, but calmly asked Sima Yi to re-survey the border and cede the area north of the Huai River to the state of Zhao. Sima Yi felt that Liu Bei and Wei Dongsheng had their own selfish intentions, and instead of hoping to crusade against the Shile Alliance, it was better to compromise and survive and keep the territory south of the Huai River.

So, Sima Yi sold the people of Huaibei to the Zhao State of Qianhu, and endured humiliation and stealing ways to protect the south of the Huai River.

With Shi Le's loss of dragon qi as the dividing line, the state of Zhao and Sima Jin lived in peace for many years.

But it was Shi Le's loss of dragon energy that he knew that dragon energy was rare, and with the protection of the purple dragon fist, Shi Le did not have the slightest fear in the face of Wei Dongsheng. Without the protection of the Purple Dragon Fist, Shi Le not only did not dare to face Wei Dongsheng directly, but also had no confidence when facing non-human immortals. In the autumn of 323, when he was fighting against the East China Sea Kraken as usual, Shi Le was tragically attacked by a level 8 fish immortal and fell ill on the spot.

Non-human immortals lack sufficient intelligence, and when a human immortal of the same level fights a non-human immortal, he can use his or her empirical wisdom to form a local advantage, or lure the non-human immortal out of the ocean, lake and other advantageous geography. When it comes to the land environment familiar to humans, or a sneak attack with explosives packs, or artillery bombardment, or multiple immortals fighting together, human immortals are always able to crush non-human immortals of the same level. The reason why Shi Le ended up injured was not how strong the Ocean Demon Clan was, but because Shi Le had used to borrowing the Purple Dragon Fist to go on a rampage over the years, and it was only at the critical moment that he suddenly remembered that the dragon qi had been transferred to others.
