The suspicion behind the 541st
The suspicion behind the 541st
Shi Hu is so crazy.
Shi Hu is so brutal.
Even if the destiny is in Zhao, the people in the north can't bear Shi Hu's madness.
The core of the people's obedience to the mandate of heaven is that the ownership of the mandate of heaven has nothing to do with them. Whether Sima Yan is the emperor or Shi Le is the emperor, in fact, it has nothing to do with the people. No matter who becomes the emperor, the rent will be paid as usual, the grain tax will be paid as usual, and the small people will always live on the verge of starvation. In addition to the casualties during the war, the difference between Shi Le and Sima Yi is nothing more than how much higher or lower the official tax was paid.
What is the significance of a few points higher or a lower official tax?
In real life, it was never the famous civil and military lords who ruled the people, but the squires and petty officials who were disdained by the civil and military ministers. No matter how diligent the king's banner changes at the head of the city, as long as the squires and officials who will descend remain unchanged, there will be no substantial changes in the lives of the people.
For example, the Han people under the rule of the Zhao Dynasty of Qianhu and Zhao, not to mention those who died in the war and those who were taken into slavery, more small people gathered in the local dock fort to make a living. The lord of the dock said that whoever descends, the people of this land will be whoever governs the people, and the people of this land will pay taxes for whomever they want. Compared with national events such as the change of emperor, the people are actually more worried about the power waves of the small dock fort.
The prophecy of the Mandate of Heaven is actually the gospel of the people.
Except for a small number of speculators who "learned literature and martial arts, goods and emperors' families", the vast majority of the people longed for no military disasters and no disasters in the world. If the Mandate of Heaven is in the Xiongnu Han Kingdom, everyone will serve Liu Yuan, why fight fearlessly? If the Mandate of Heaven is in the Kingdom of Qihu Zhao, then serve Shile!
Only by ending the war as soon as possible can everyone live happily.
I only wish that there would be no chaos and no disasters in the world, this is the simple wish of the people.
Now that Destiny shows the way, let's go in the right direction!
The question is, what if Destiny is wrong?
Is a tyrannical person like Shi Hu also worthy of dragon energy? The people of Henan, Yan, Qing, Hebei and other prefectures have fallen into confusion one after another, can we obediently obey the mandate of heaven and surrender to Shihu, and we will not be able to survive? Some people are gradually going to extremes: since I am destined to die, I will make a desperate gamble before I die!
When Shi Hu waved his butcher's knife at the people under his rule, the desperate and angry people raised anti-flags one after another and spontaneously rebelled against Shi Hu's tyrannical rule. In a few days, the immortals who longed for an Ansheng life would not be able to withstand Shile's madness, and even many of the immortals actively participated in the rebel army. In order to persuade more cowardly people to rebel against Shi Hu, these knowledgeable immortals consciously used the double-edged sword of the Mandate of Heaven to hypnotize themselves: "Shi Hu's dragon qi stopped in two years, and Zhao's national fortunes ended in four years. There were many demons in the last years of the dynasty, and Shi Hu's tyranny was just his madness before he died! After four years, the true dragon was born, which was the end of Shi Hu's eternal fall into hell. ”
With a future to look forward to, the people's rebellion is becoming more and more intense.
Yuzhou to Jizhou, Qingzhou to Yongzhou, for a time everywhere was a righteous army.
Shi Hu did not laugh angrily, faced the bloody warriors trained during the Western Expedition to the South, and said coldly: "I, Shi Hu, don't want to be incompetent. Let these thieves test your potential, and whoever survives, and who can suppress them, will be worthy to owe my allegiance. ”
The descendants of the family soldiers stayed behind to protect themselves, the bloody recruits attacked the rebels nearby, and Shi Hu leisurely patrolled his chaotic country.
At the same time as commanding the bloody recruits to kill the rebels in various places, Shi Hu ordered all states and counties to gather men to Xiangguo, and threatened to go north to conquer the Absolute Holy Gate of Youping and Youping. Of course, with the old example of the Western Expedition to the South, the farmers and recruits all knew that the so-called Northern Expedition must still be a great tragedy in which Shi Hu forced them to die en masse. The peasant recruits, who had a little ability, rushed to flee to the mountains and forests, and those who could not escape simply died in anger with the officials in charge of the conscription.
In short, the country of Zhaohu is in chaos, and it has lost the word order.
At this time, Liu Bei and Sima Yi were strangely silent.
On the surface, Shi Hu seems to be breaking the jar and falling, since the destiny of heaven no longer favors the Zhao Kingdom, why should I love the people. What the Zhao Kingdom can't get, don't think about the new dragon in the troubled times, what I Shihu will leave you will be in ruins. However, is it really that simple as Shi Hu's plan?
Liu Bei didn't believe it, and Sima Yi didn't believe it either.
Sima Yi and Shi Hu met, and Shi Hu did fall into madness, but this madness was by no means the kind of madness of mental illness. Shi Hu's tyrannical killing was a planned and conspiracy of concentrated slaughter, and behind the madness was extreme calmness. Liu Bei and Sima Yi were both silent, and they quietly observed Shi Hu's madness, guessing what tricks he was playing.
Liu Bei and Sima Yi did not move, and Zhang Jun of Liangguo did not dare to move.
Because there was no foreign aid to rely on, the scattered rebel armies in the territory of the Zhao Kingdom often waited in despair for Shi Hu's butcher's knife to come in one village and one township. Although these rebels have the spirit of resistance, they do not have the ability to resist Shi Hu, whether it is a bloody recruit, or a neat lineage of relatives, or Shi Hu's level 7 immortal cultivation and purple dragon qi, they are all mountains that cannot be shaken by the rebels.
Where is the way out for the rebels?
……
His gaze returned to Wei Dongsheng.
Since the founding of the Shile state, the Gate has built numerous improved bastions along the border between the two regimes. The improved fortress defense system, the key points are guarded by level 5 immortals to defend against the sneak attack of Zhao soldiers, and local buildings such as turrets tend to give full play to the advantages of non-immortals' artillery and firearms.
The Absolute Holy Gate had done a test experiment, and it was as strong as Wei Dongsheng (a test when he was a level 9 immortal), and it was unable to resist artillery at close range. Although it is difficult for the artillery to hit high-level Immortals one-on-one due to its speed, in the event of an artillery ground-washing covering attack, the Immortals must consume a large amount of Aura reserves to strengthen their defenses and shield them from the lethality of shell fragments. A similar level of defense will always greatly increase the aura loss of high-level immortals, and then win a fighting advantage for the immortal spearheads of the Absolute Holy Gate.
With an improved fortress guarding Youzhou, Wei Dongsheng was not afraid of Shi Hu's sudden attack.
Knowing that Shihu persimmon picked up the soft pinch and chose to crusade against Liu Bei, Wei Dongsheng did not hurry to end his Europa exploration and halfway African exploration, and set off to return to China with a leisurely attitude. Knowing that Shi Hu gave up his crusade against Liu Bei and instead attacked Sima Yi in the south, Wei Dongsheng took it even more seriously, and even took a detour to kill several non-human immortals who plagued the local area, and calmly filled in the experience bar needed to advance to level 10 immortals. It wasn't until he heard the tyrannical details of Shi Hu's southern expedition and Shi Hu's madness of slaughtering his own army and then slaughtering his own people that Wei Dongsheng realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly hurried back to China.
Hurried back to the Thistle Capital, the Eight Giants of the Absolute Holy Gate and the Special Elder Ran Min had been on standby for a long time.
Zuo Ci was still in charge of introducing diplomatic relations: "Liu Bei, Sima Yi, and Zhang Jun, the king of Liang, all sent news that they wanted to suppress Shi Hu together with the master of the sect. ……”
Wei Dongsheng cut off Zuo Ci's foreign affairs report and asked, "Shi Hu let go, you first talk about Shi Le." The messenger relayed the news to me that Shihu had defeated Shile and that Shile had disappeared? What the hell is going on? ”
Zuo Ci explained: "That's right. According to the chronological method formulated by the master of the gate, in May 344, Shi Hu designed an ambush in Yanzhou and killed almost all the immortals loyal to Shile. Then, Shi Hu chased after him, intending to finish his work in one battle. ……”
After Shi Hu deprived Shi Le of his luck, Shi Le became weaker and weaker as if he was leaking. Whenever he fought fiercely with the immortal soldiers loyal to Shi Hu, Shi Le felt that his aura reserves were violently depleted beyond recovery, and he was getting closer and closer to the limit of downgrading to level 7. In fact, shortly after struggling to escape Shi Hu's ambush, Shi Le was officially demoted to level 7.
The level 8 cultivation didn't win Shi Hu, let alone the level 7 cultivation?
Faced with a life-and-death crisis, Shi Le decisively fled to Huainan.
Shi Le expressed his willingness to surrender to Sima Yi and asked Sima Yi to gather Level 5 Immortals to repel Shi Hu's pursuit. Shi Hu refused to let Shi Le go, and demanded that Sima Yi arrest Shi Le on the spot or expel Shi Le from the country, otherwise he would gather all the military forces of the Zhao State to attack the Jin State in the south. Shi Hu threatened Sima Yi with an indifferent attitude at that time: "Anyway, Zhao Guo only has 7 years of luck left, and we simply die early and live early." But your Jin Kingdom still has an endless national fortune, why should you die with me for Shile? ”
Sima Yi considered it for a few days and chose to stand in line with Shi Hu.
Shi Lebi did not know that the immortal seed system was expanding to the world at an unprecedented speed, and he looked around the world with a Kyushu vision, feeling both desolate and desperate: "Sima Yi doesn't dare to take me in, who can save my life?" Alas, simply gamble on it. ”
With Sima Yi's acquiescence, Shi Le was given a sailing ship.
The next day, Schler set sail for a small island off the coast.
Due to the geographical limitations of the ocean, the vast ocean and coastal islands have long become a paradise for the sea demon clan. In this world, not only are the regular maritime trade of various countries completely cut off, but high-level immortals do not dare to rashly go to the coastal islands, because the level 6 human immortals to the level 10 human immortals do not have the supernatural power to survive in the ocean. Cut off from the food supply and deprived of the favorable environment on land, the Level 5 Sea Demon Clan has the ability to slowly consume Shile. The coastal islands are now more terrifying Jedi than the steppe desert plateau.
After Shile set sail for the sea, there was no news of Shile in Kyushu again.
It is said that both Shi Hu and Sima Yi had sent people to investigate Shi Le's life and death, but the investigators sent to the coastal islands, Tai half died in a sneak attack or siege by the sea demon clan. The very few survivors who returned safely said they were not willing to risk tracking down again. Over time, Shile's disappearance was over.
Shi Hu, Sima Yi, Liu Bei and other heroes now default to Shi Le's death.
However, Wei Dongsheng felt that there was one thing that was very suspicious.
When Shi Hu and Shi Le were fighting among themselves, their IQ seemed to be very normal. When he threatened Sima Yi to expel Shi Le, Shi Hu's threat was just an empty threat, and he didn't really dispatch troops. It wasn't until the Immortals were dispatched to follow up and investigate and "confirmed" that Shi Le had a high probability of dying from the siege of the Sea Demon Clan, that Shi Hu suddenly "went crazy" and desperately forcibly gathered the farmer recruits and drove them to the front line to die.
Does Shi Hu's madness have anything to do with Shi Le's disappearance?
