No. 547: Finding a Way Out (2)

Lü Meng persuaded Sun Quan to extinguish the idea of rebuilding the empire in vain, so he simply parted ways with Sun Quan.

With Lu Meng's resolute farewell, Sun Quan's trouble-relieving camp suddenly existed in name only, and it fell into disarray.

Sun Quan couldn't do anything about it.

In today's Kyushu China, the number of level 5 immortals is often counted in hundreds, just like a carp crossing the river. Sun Quan is just an ordinary level 5 immortal, even if he is unwilling, what can he do? In this world where the immortal seed system is becoming more and more important, Sun Quan, who "gives birth to a child like Sun Zhongmou", gradually fades.

Seeing that Sun Quan was getting worse and worse, Liu Bei couldn't help but feel concerned.

Level 9 immortals will be able to wait and see how the fortunes of the country will change in the next 32 years.

351 + 32 = 383 years.

After Sima Yi advanced to the 9th level immortal, he waited in public to see the future situation and announced it on the spot. From north to south, the national fortune of the Xianbei Dynasty of the Tuoba Department stretched to 376; The national fortune of the Xianbei Yan Kingdom of the Murong Department stretched to 370; Ran Wei's national fortunes stretched to 352; The national fortune of the Xianbei Qi State of Duanbu stretched to 356; At the beginning of the year, Fu Jian inherited the dragon qi of the three Qin kingdoms, and the name of the country was immediately changed to Qin, and the national fortune of the Qin state was extended until 383. Zhang Liang's national fortunes stretched to 376; The national fortune of Diyang Qiuchi stretched to 371.

Of the princes of Kyushu, only the Qin State and the Sima Jin State were able to survive until 383 years.

Obviously, the person who will be the one who will swallow the northern states and counties in the future will be the Qin State.

The Qin State has been puppeted by the Absolute Holy Gate, and the Absolute Holy Gate has not even let go of leftovers such as Ran Wei and Duan Bei Xianbei Qi Kingdom. Except for the Zhang family's Liang Kingdom, which has a deep foundation, all the north belongs to the Absolute Holy Gate. Even if Liu Bei had the means and ability to steal the fortunes of the country, how could he dare to challenge the Absolute Holy Gate with the shallow background of a level 7 immortal and a level 6 immortal? The Absolute Holy Gate only needs to send Ran Min alone, even if Ran Min loses the favor of the crimson dragon qi in the future, he can use his strength to break through the path to crush Liu Bei's covetous ideas.

The north belongs to the Absolute Holy Gate, and the south belongs to the Sima Jin Kingdom.

Kyushu China, there is no place for Liu Bei to stand on it.

Destiny likes the new and hates the old, if he does not act for more than 30 years, today Sun Quan is Liu Bei's example.

Sometimes Liu Bei is also melancholy, knowing that immortality is so difficult, it is better to die more than a hundred years ago. Without the appearance of the lost dog in front of him, future generations will remember Liu Bei's heroism back then. Like now, you have to work hard and work hard to maintain your image.

Taking Zhang's Liangguo as an example, Zhang Jun used to admire Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and other heroes of the old era, and was willing to be their dogs without regrets. When Zhang Jun later became an advanced level 8 immortal, he gradually felt that Liu Bei or Zhuge Liang were nothing more than that! If I, Zhang Jun, were born in the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, my prestige would not be weaker than Liu Bei, Sun Quan, and Cao Cao. There were no heroes at the time, which made Liu Bei, Sun Quan, Cao Cao and other vertical sons famous. Based on today's embarrassment of Liu Bei and speculating on the glory of Liu Bei yesterday, Zhang Jun dispersed his worship and respect, and slowly began to look down on Liu Bei condescendingly.

Liu Bei hated it.

Melancholy is melancholy, but Liu Bei will not admit defeat.

Even if the Mandate of Heaven is cold-blooded and ruthless, Liu Bei has to fight his way out.

If you want not to be eliminated by the Mandate of Heaven, Liu Bei must plan early!

Liu Bei quickly made a decision.

Since the annexation of the Absolute Holy Gate to the north is the general trend, why should the little enemy pool block the car? Liu Bei's visit to the Absolute Holy Gate this time was to sacrifice his land and surrender in the name of Qiu Chi, and exchange the remaining twenty years of national fortune in Qiu Chi for the Absolute Holy Gate or Wei Dongsheng's favor.

Walking out of Qiuchi along the rugged mountain road, Liu Bei's first stop in Guanzhong was Fufeng County.

Fufeng County Governance Office, for Chen Cang.

When they came to Chen Cang, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang sighed together.

Chencang is a good place.

In this world, Liu Bei fused the seeds of immortality and was lucky to continue his life, and Ji Han's political power structure has changed dramatically because of this, and Zhuge Liang naturally has no way to talk about it. However, this by no means means means that Qishan is missing the Jin Ge Iron Horse movement. In fact, with Liu Bei personally guarding Jingzhou, Ji Han's Western Front battlefield was more calm and powerful. During the period from Liu Bei's fusion of immortal seeds to Zhuge Liang's fusion of immortal seeds, the mechanism of the Mandate of Heaven had not yet been highlighted, and Zhuge Liang was ordered to supervise the Northern Expedition of the army several times, and the scale was even better than the Northern Expedition in real-world history. As a result, Zhuge Liang regretfully replicated the historical tragedy of the real world in this world, and twice besieged Chen Cang, but was forced to withdraw due to various factors.

Based on the old land of Chencang, recalling the past of more than 100 years, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were in a state of amazement. Zhuge Liang subconsciously commented on the rule of the Absolute Holy Gate from a military perspective: "As soon as he entered the main Guanzhong, he moved the Fufeng County Administration to Chencang, and the importance of the Absolute Holy Gate to the old way of Chencang is self-evident. When the Absolute Holy Gate builds a fortress defense system around Chencang, even if they lose the constraints of the Mandate of Heaven and the great power of the immortals, the Shu soldiers will not want to attack Guanzhong from the Yiliang front. ”

Liu Bei smiled and said: "There are already immortals in the world, why should we fantasize about the picture of no immortals? ”

Zhuge Liang nodded yes.

Liu Bei also suggested: "Let's walk to Chang'an and take a look at Wei Dongsheng's methods along the way." ”

The Absolute Holy Gate divided the Guanxi territory of the Zhao Kingdom into Yongzhou and Liangzhou respectively, and Yongzhou set up Fengyi County, Shangluo County, Chang'an County, Luochuan County, Shang County, Fufeng County and other counties; Liangzhou set up Anding County, Longdong County, Tianshui County and other counties. And because the Absolute Holy Gate steadily advanced to the front line, it only advanced into Guanzhong at the beginning of this year, and the actual control area was only Tianshui County, Fufeng County, Chang'an County, Fengyi County, Shang County and other places, and other places such as Anding County, Longdong County, and Luochuan County were only surrendered in name.

Moreover, even in Chang'an County, which is the most important place, the power of the Absolute Holy Gate is very limited.

The shadow left by Shi Hu's frenzied killing in the past, and the chaos during the collapse of the Zhao State of Qi Hu and the Ying Omen of the Qin State almost destroyed the economic foundation of Guanzhong. Liu Bei traveled all the way and found that after 20 years of barbaric rule by the state of Qianhu and Zhao, the economic conditions in Guanzhong were far inferior to those of the Xiongnu Han Zhao who was ruled by Liu Bei without doing anything. Compared with Liu Bei's puppet Xiongnu Han and Zhao periods, the living conditions of the people in Guanzhong have fallen by at least three-tenths, and their clothing, food, housing and transportation are very embarrassing.

However, there are also positives to Guanzhong.

The Absolute Holy Gate, which had just stepped into the gate, had been quickly injected with fresh blood.

For example, food control policies. In order to alleviate the disaster situation in the four prefectures of Hebei, Hebei, Yong, and Liang, the Absolute Holy Gate forcibly requisitioned and purchased surplus grain from the families of the people of the world, and at the same time administratively set the minimum and maximum grain sales price. When the Kansai clan resisted slightly, the Absolute Holy Gate sacrificed the system of governing the country according to law, and dispatched the phalanx of immortals and warriors to attack their dock fort. It is also because of this food control policy that although Ji, He, Yong, and Liang have suffered from natural and man-made disasters, they have never caused a moth to starve people everywhere.

The Kansai clan naturally resented the policy of the Absolute Holy Gate, and cursed the Absolute Holy Gate and Wei Dongsheng to encounter the Mandate of Heaven sooner or later.

Liu Bei agreed with the Holy Gate.

As the founding monarch of the Ji and Han dynasties, Liu Bei deeply understood the pros and cons of the Haoqiang family, on the one hand, the country needs Haoqiang to maintain local order, and on the other hand, Haoqiang threatens the foundation of national rule. Regular relocation of local tyrants is the only way to maintain the prosperity of the country. Both the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty collapsed because the local tyrants lost their restraints.

These Guanxi clans who cursed the Holy Gate were all wall grasses who successively served the Xiongnu Han Zhao and the Xiongnu Hu Zhao Kingdom, and they only had clans in their eyes. No matter how tolerant the Holy Gate is to benefit them, they will still be grass on the wall, and whoever has the destiny of heaven will kneel to whomever they want. Rather than raising a swarm of wallgrass parasites, the Gateless Gate should take the opportunity to thoroughly cleanse the place and establish true order.

Suppressing the heroism of the world is Liu Bei's first sight.

In addition to encircling and suppressing the Dock Fort by force, the Absolute Holy Gate also sacrificed a soft knife to weaken the strength of the world.

However, it was Wei Dongsheng who moved the supervision system of the tenth reincarnation world to this world with a slight modification. The supervision system has been in trial operation in Youzhou and Pingzhou for many years, and after the annexation of the Absolute Holy Gate to the Zhao Kingdom, the supervision system was implemented in the ten states of the Northland.

When Liu Bei founded the Ji Han Dynasty, he tried his best to correct the phenomenon of the powerful clan in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and worked hard to restore the relatively fair probation system in the early Han Dynasty. Although Sima Jin Guo has Sima Yi in charge, it is still growing bigger because of the strong and powerful clan, and gradually embarked on the road of no return to the "Nine Grades Zhongzheng System" in real world history.

You must know that the Mandate of Heaven mechanism is inclined to historical civil and military ministers, and the family is precisely the biggest beneficiary of the Mandate of Heaven mechanism. In order to envelop a group of families who are both famous and powerful, Sima Yi's nine-product Zhongzheng system in this world is as good as the history of the real world. In the process of Shi Le's establishment of the Xionghu Zhao State to encroach on the Xiongnu Han and Zhao, he also consciously learned the advanced culture of the Sima Jin State and established the Jiupin Zhongzheng system with the characteristics of the Xionghu in the northern Central Plains.

Some people may question how the immortal seed system with the power of one body can develop a nine-grade Zhongzheng system of "the upper grade has no cold family, and the lower grade has no family"? Without the help of "external forces", the immortal seed system should easily break through the limitations of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system!

However, there is no essential contradiction between the immortal seed system and the Jiupin Zhongzheng system.

Sima Jinguo's nine-product zhongzheng system even perfectly integrates the immortal seed system. It turns out that because the Mandate of Heaven mechanism is inclined to historical celebrities, and in the real world history, the historical celebrities of the Wei and Jin dynasties are either smart and peerless heroes, or they are born in the noble family. Over time, the Immortals gradually became the standard for the powerful of the world.

As the saying goes: advanced immortals are not necessarily from the family of the world, and everyone in the family must have an immortal in charge.

If there is an immortal in the family, it is the strong and powerful family.

If there are immortals in the family, or even if you are an immortal yourself, you can travel between the worlds.

Similar to Wang Dao, Yu Liang, Wang Dun, Zu Ti, Tao Kan, Huan Wen, Yin Hao, Xie An, Wang Xizhi, and Huan Chong, they are now regarded as top families by public opinion in the Jin Kingdom; For example, Zhou Yu, Lu Su and other famous ministers of the old era were also regarded by the public opinion of the Jin State as a down-and-out family who lost the favor of the Mandate of Heaven.

In short, the rank of the Immortal has suddenly become an important reference standard for the Nine Rank Zhongzheng System.
