No. 551: Finding a Way Out (6)

For Xiao Xiong, the Mandate of Heaven is a cage.

If it were possible, no one would want to be a plaything of Destiny.

Although Sima Jinguo's Mandate of Heaven was still there, Sima Yi knew that the Mandate of Heaven would never favor the Sima family forever. Just as in the past, in accordance with the mandate of heaven, the family business from the north was moved to the south, and Sima Yi recently prepared to use the Southeast Asian Peninsula as a place to survive. Liu Bei and Sima Yi had similar thoughts, and he also wanted to take the opportunity to leave Kyushu and seize a piece of fertile land that could be defended forever.

If it weren't for the birth of the plateau demon clan on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Liu Bei would have gone deep into the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and used the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau as a springboard to expand into South Asia. For example, the level 8 bear demon, why did it suddenly invade the revenge pool? The truth is not that the bear demon was born to eat people, but that Liu Bei provoked it during his tentative expansion into the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Where is Liu Bei going to expand?

Sima Yi regarded the Southeast Asian Peninsula as his private property, and never allowed Liu Bei to pass through Yizhou and Ningzhou; Not to mention the steep roads on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, there are high-level non-human immortals blocking the way. In fact, there is only one way, Liu Bei can only follow the ancient road of the Western Regions to the west of the Western Regions, and follow in the footsteps of Shi Hu to find the foundation of the empire in Central Asia, South Asia, West Asia and other places.

However, it was not easy for Liu Bei to go west.

First of all, the Absolute Holy Gate annexed the old land of the Zhao Kingdom of Qihu and embraced the central and northern parts of Yongzhou and the eastern part of Liangzhou; Zhang's Liangguo sits on the essence of Liangzhou and the eastern part of the Western Regions, and can remotely control the western part of the Western Regions and the Wusun Kingdom to a certain extent. If he couldn't persuade the Absolute Holy Gate and Zhang's Liangguo to borrow the way, Liu Bei would be trapped and killed. Secondly, Shi Hu was fierce in the west of the Western Regions, and the old people were trembling and kneeling down to worship them. Liu Bei currently only has a level 7 cultivation, and if he breaks into peace single-handedly, there is a high probability that he will be defeated by Shi Hu, who is waiting for work.

Therefore, in addition to borrowing the way, Liu Bei also wanted to borrow soldiers and borrow his name.

Say yes or no?

Wei Dongsheng also has ideas outside the Western Regions of Kyushu. There is no Mandate of Heaven cage outside the Western Regions of Kyushu, and if it can be cultivated for a hundred years, it may be able to cast a thousand-year-old foundation. However, the Absolute Holy Mengen is in northern China, and the first priority is to work hard to harvest the achievements of the puppet Murong Xianbei Yan State, Duan Xianbei Qi State, and Di Fu Qin State. Before thoroughly digesting the states of Hebei, Qing, Xu, Henan, And, Yong, Liang, etc., rashly devoting energy to the west of the Western Regions is definitely a stupid act of sacrificing the basics.

Ordering Liu Bei to go to the west of the Western Regions to explore the way, and asking Liu Bei to rest in peace to pull Shi Hu's hind legs, may have some effect.

Wei Dongsheng pondered for a moment, and readily agreed to Liu Beizhi's request: "In the past, Brother Xuande sent me Youping and Liangzhou, how dare I be stingy with the west of the Western Regions?" ”

"Xuande Gong" politely turned into "Xuande Brother" intimacy, and the atmosphere suddenly became harmonious.

After a long time of negotiations, the cooperation plan between the Absolute Holy Gate and Liu Bei was released.

First, the Absolute Holy Gate came forward to persuade Zhang's Liangguo to allow Liu Bei to leave the west of the Western Regions by the way, and if Zhang's Liangguo dared to rob Liu Bei's logistical supplies, the garrisons of Yongliang and Liangzhou would immediately invade his country.

Second, in principle, the Absolute Holy Gate allowed Liu Bei to continue to be a puppet to control the national fortunes of Qiuchi in Diyang, allowed Liu Bei to levy the people of Qiuchi County to move west, and allowed Liu Bei to freely recruit good sons in Chang'an County, Yongzhou and Tianshui County, Liangzhou. Even, some of the Absolute Holy Sect intended to uproot the immortal clan that did not commit a big crime, and Wei Dongsheng also allowed Liu Bei to use his incorruptible tongue to trick them to the west of the Western Regions.

Third, the Jehodomen coordinated with Liu Bei, Zhang's Liangguo and others to restart the Silk Road, and the Jeho Gate took one-third of the trade proceeds along the way. The territory opened up by Liu Bei in the west of the Western Regions, the Absolute Holy Gate also has the extrajudicial right to garrison the army.

Article 4 ,......

Wait a minute.

After the cooperation agreement was signed, Liu Bei began his westward expedition.

It's a pity that Wei Dongsheng didn't have the energy to pay attention to Liu Bei's western expedition, because there were too many trivial matters in the northern prefectures and counties that he needed to decide. For example, a group of wall grasses need to be reorganized with strong or soft wrists, and such associates who sense dragon qi one after another, and so on.

In May 352, Ran Min's crimson dragon aura escaped.

Soon, Ran Wei's national fortune died out completely, and Ran Min, Ran Zhi, and Ran Yin were all demoted to ordinary immortals.

But in the year 352, in northern China, Zhang Ju sensed the green dragon qi of Zhang's Qin State, Su Lin sensed a cyan dragon qi, Liu Kang sensed the green dragon qi of Liu's Jin Kingdom, and Wang Wu sensed the green dragon qi of Wang's Anguo. Although these dragon qi are not in the climate, and even only a few months of good fortune, how to deal with them is very particular about the political wisdom of the Holy Gate.

In addition, the Mandate of Heaven mechanism refers to the historical trajectory of the real world and translates to this world, and there is no law at all. Taking Anguo Guoyun as an example, after Wang Wu, Qin Xing, a general of the former Hu Zhao State who had no blood relationship with Wang Wu, suddenly received the favor of Anguo Longqi; Before long, Qin Xing's dragon qi escaped, and Lu Hu, a former Hu Zhao Guobu general who was serving a sentence in prison, suddenly inherited An Guo's dragon qi. Fortunately, the national fortune of Angola has been in less than two years, and no matter how fast the frequency of its dragon qi transfers, it has not brought any serious negative impact.

It was not until the end of 357 that the Absolute Holy Gate barely digested the eleven northern states of Yan, Shuo, Ping, You, Hebei, He, Yong, Liang, Henan, Qing, and Xu.

After the integration of internal affairs was completed, the Absolute Holy Gate had a total of Wei Dongsheng a level 10 immortal; Lu Xun, Ran Min and other two level 8 immortals; Xiao Qunqi, Zuo Ci, Ran Zhi, Li Nong, Liu Xian and other five level 7 immortals; Chu Yonghe, Ran Yin, Jiang Gan, Wei Hu, Zhang Ju, Wang Wu, Su Lin, Qin Xing and other eight level 6 immortals.

The breakthroughs of Lu Xun, Xiao Qunqi, Zuo Ci, Chu Yonghe and others all benefited from the dragon qi transfer experiment. Among them, Lu Xun stole the luck of Murong Hao, the lord of the Xianbei Yan State of the Murong Department, Zuo Ci stole the luck of the Duan Gong of the Xianbei Qi State of the Duan Department, and Xiao Qunqi and Chu Yonghe stole the luck of Fu Hong and Fu Jian, the lords of the Qin State respectively.

Fu Fu Qin has been passed to Fu Jian, between Fu Jian and Fu Hong, there is actually a deposed emperor Fu Sheng. It's a pity that there is an imperial threshold for the dragon qi transfer experiment, and at least the founders of the former Qin Dynasty such as Fu Hong and Fu Jian are eligible to bear the dragon qi transfer experiment. Since Fu Sheng was fortunate to have the dragon qi to take care of him, he was robbed and died, and Yu Ji, the dragon qi transfer experimenter who was bound to him, did not have the slightest capture. Yu Ji had no choice but to tie up with Fu Jian, the third lord of the Qin State, and continuously extract dragon qi from him.

Now, the foundation of the Absolute Holy Gate will only be stronger than Sima Yi, not weaker than him.

It was only at this time that Wei Dongsheng had the spare energy to pay attention to Liu Bei's expedition to the west.

Liu Bei's expedition to the west went very smoothly, but it was a bit dwarfed by Shi Hu. In the past, Shi Hu led the elite cavalry to make a detour into Central Asia, and rushed all the way, and the following year he broke into the capital of Sassanid Persia. On the other hand, Liu Bei, with the name of the Absolute Holy Gate, was known as the fox and the fake tiger, and he used both soft and hard to borrow the two cities of Gumo and Shule from Zhang's Liangguo, and used Shule as a base for the advance of the Western Expedition to focus on management.

From 352 to 357, Liu Bei had just infiltrated the homeland of Dawan and Dayue.

Sassanid Persia is a large country in Southwest Asia, with a vast territory and complex folklore. Shi Hu conquered Sassanid Persia with brutal means, and many royal remnants and tribal forces were not convinced, and they either retreated to the real world of eastern Iran and other places, or retreated to the real world of Afghanistan or Pakistan and other places, and the remnants of the army were defeated and will continue to fight against Shi Hu. Liu Bei was unwilling to confront Shi Hu directly, so he sent his subordinates to actively contact these relict tribes, or form an alliance with them, or puppet their chiefs, and drive them to consume Shi Hu's descendants.

Compared with Shi Hu, Liu Bei's efficiency could not be lower. After five or six years of operation, coupled with the invincible advantage of a level 7 immortal, Liu Bei barely controlled the Ferghana Basin in the real world. Perhaps keenly aware of the important geographical role of the Ferghana Basin, Liu Bei took the material from the Green Mountains and named this place as the Green Mountains. Then, Liu Bei chose to build the onion capital, and through the Silk Road, the people of Qiuchi migrated over with difficulty.

Liu Bei's mind was obvious.

Liu Bei not only wants to establish an eternal empire that will last forever, but also to make this country Huajun Huamin.

Although he was forced to leave Kyushu, Liu Bei did not want his subordinates to become barbarians, let alone gradually become barbarian chieftains. Wei Dongsheng understood Liu Bei's ambitions, but he was unwilling to tolerate and indulge him in taking root in the city. If there is an accident in Kyushu China, Wei Dongsheng may also have to be forced to temporarily withdraw from the Western Regions of Kyushu, which is shrouded by the Mandate of Heaven mechanism, and the fertile soil of Onion Prefecture near the Western Regions can not be casually ceded to Liu Bei.

Wei Dongsheng immediately sent a letter to warn Liu Bei: "If Onion Prefecture is not Jingzhou, it is impossible for the Absolute Holy Gate to give it to you." ”

Liu Bei delayed for three or four years, and found that Wei Dongsheng's mind was like iron, so he reluctantly replied: "The west of the Western Regions is either a desert grassland or a barren mountain, and it is really not easy to survive. Please remember the past and give me another ten years of buffer time. ”

Wei Dongsheng didn't persecute too harshly: "Since you said ten years, then I will give you ten years." Ten years later, whether you let the green state or not, I will send troops to take it. ”

Wei Dongsheng did what he said, and really gave Liu Bei another ten years.

The reason is not only that Wei Dongsheng is grateful to Liu Bei for his past affection, but also because the progress of the reappearance of the science and technology tree is limited. Without the support of railways and trains, the thousands of miles from the Central Plains of Kyushu to the Central Asian Prefecture of Onion are unimaginably difficult to immigrate. For such a huge project, ten more years, ten years less, the impact is very limited.

The hand of time turns forward, and the destiny of heaven changes with it.

In 358, the fortunes of the Qin State were upgraded from green to crimson.

Soon, Xiao Qunqi and Chu Yonghe were suspected of benefiting from the promotion of the national fortune of the Qin State, Xiao Qunqi advanced to level 8 immortals, and Chu Yonghe advanced to level 7 immortals.

In 360, Murong Jun, the lord of the Xianbei Yan Kingdom of the Murong Tribe, was robbed and died, and by stealing his dragon qi, Ding Feng successfully advanced to the 7th level of immortal.

In 370, the national fortunes of the Xianbei Yan Kingdom of the Murong Department escaped, and the lord of the country, Murong Wei, lost the favor of the dragon qi and died soon after being robbed. But it's a pity that Murong Wei's dragon qi quality is not enough to transfer dragon qi, and the experimenter Lu Kang has to wait for other dragon qi favorers.

At the same time, the national fortune of the Xianbei Yan State of Murong Department escaped, and the national fortune of the Qin State advanced from crimson to purple. Benefiting from the upgrade of the fortunes of the Qin State, Xiao Qunqi immediately advanced to level 9 immortals, and Chu Yonghe also advanced to level 8 immortals. The immortals who were loyal to the Absolute Holy Gate, both in terms of quality and quantity, left Sima Jinguo far behind.
