I have to say that the theory that Song Que said is indeed in line with Zhao Qing's strategy of surrendering and capturing the Sui army first and wanting Wang Shichong to play a role, but he overestimated the degree to which this person is difficult to replace, because in terms of conquering Jiancheng, she alone can be worth countless soldiers and horses.

It may be difficult to collapse the thick city wall, but against a single city gate, even if it is enough to make it difficult for ten great grandmasters to fight head-on, it can be forcibly broken in a short period of time. If more means are used, no matter how many troops there are, it will not be enough for Zhao Qing to cut it alone.

In about a month's time, due to the fact that she had to try to reach yin to yang and the time limit of her transformation, she had not yet recovered to the realm of infinity, but at the level, it could be said that she was quite "the unity of heaven and man", but she had already cultivated.

"The unity of heaven and man" or "the realm of heaven and man" includes the yin and yang Wuji with "Taiyin True Water" and "Sun True Fire", but even if it does not achieve transformation in true qi, it is only further integrated with heaven and earth, and it also belongs to this realm, similar to the original Xiaoyaozi.

In the records of the "Pure Meditation Zen Book" and the "Cihang Sword Codex", these two realms of the same level are called "innate infinity", but one is the false congenital infinity of the acquired universe, and the other is the true innate innate infinity of the innate universe.

Like the "evil spirit" Li Ruohai in "Raining Rain and Clouds", the empress Wu Cao, who has not yet practiced Yin and Yang Wuji in the Tang Dynasty trilogy, is roughly in the realm of false innate Wuji.

Of course, in Zhao Qing's hands, even if it is a "false innate infinity", the strength that can be exerted is not inferior to the "true innate nature" that only cultivates to a single Wuji, which is enough to compete with the quasi-shattering level characters of Double Wuji.

In fact, in the previous competition with Song Que, she at best showed two or three percent of her strength, which was used to test the actual combat effect of the "Star Sword Fetus", and played a certain role in sharpening it, accelerating the transformation of "Kaifeng".

The cultivation of the demon seed in the "Dao Heart Demon Seed Dafa" theoretically requires self-harm and torture, and even extremely violent death, to stimulate and induce the demon seed and make it combine with the human body. The "sharpening sword" used by Zhao Qing has a lot in common with it, and it is a method to speed up the birth of "Wuji".

In addition to refining qi cultivation, Zhao Qing's strength cultivation has also reached the peak of the second level of Gang Jin, and has reached the standard of divine strength in terms of physique, although it is slightly behind compared with the realm of "Innate Infinity", but the bonus should not be underestimated.

With her current cultivation and the unique knowledge she has created, she can deal with a group of nearly 10,000 sailors, use "All Things Return to Ruins" and "Earth Moves and Heaven Splits", guide the power of countless whirlpools in the Yangtze River, and block part of the water potential in a short time, so that it can give birth to a wave that is enough to destroy the fleet, which is not a problem at all.

And in order to allow Wang Shichong to successfully recruit the Sui army, Zhao Qing used the life and death talisman left on him as a medium, remotely probed out his spiritual power to find out the details of the fleet more than ten miles away, aimed at the opponents on the warship, and shot out vigorously.

The range of 5,000 steps is far beyond the imagination of most people in this world, but even the dragon eagle in "The Sun and the Moon in the Sky" can rely on the effect of the demon seed and the folding bow to hit the red heart 3,000 steps away, she is naturally completely fine, and she doesn't think that this is a long distance.

If you have a demigod or even a god-level bow and arrow in your hand, and your cultivation has reached the peak of your divine strength, it is not impossible to shoot thousands of miles, tens of thousands of miles, like an intercontinental missile, in this type of world.

The strength that has been tested by thousands of years of war, compared with the true qi system in this world, is much stronger in terms of comprehensiveness and military killing, and the combination of the two can play a significant role, and there can be a significant improvement, and there are some more unimaginable changes.

For example, the arrows that Zhao Qing is shooting one after another now, the arrows are formed by the condensation of Gang Qi and cold ice, and when flying at high speed in the air, a large amount of water vapor appears when friction generates heat, which further friction generates electricity, and through the restraint of Gang Qi and the attraction of the sympathetic attraction of Yin and Yang contained in it, it continuously accumulates electric charge.

In a process similar to that of lightning generated by clouds, at the end of the target, the restraint of the Gang Qi was lifted, and the arrow itself almost completely disappeared, transforming into a cluster of extremely fast thunder, which exploded on the enemy at unimaginable speed.

In the eyes of others, compared with the naturally generated thunder and lightning, it can be said that there is no difference, which is enough to make people who do not know the inside story suspect that it is the "curse" coming, and the five thunders are at the top, which is associated with the theory of immortals and luck, which is more feared than the unfathomable peerless martial arts.

In the turbulent times of feudal society, the use of gods and ghosts, religion, destiny and luck and other things that are easy to blindly follow, the effect is extremely amazing, and it can spread widely and cause great impact in a short period of time.

Speaking of which, the lightning burst speed at the end of this "thunder arrow" method is as high as hundreds of times the speed of sound, although the energy contained is limited, and the charge accumulation period in the middle is only the normal rate of fire of the bow and arrow, but it is still a great threat to the master of the same level encountered for the first time.

Naturally occurring lightning, only a small part of the current hits the human body, which is equivalent to a small bifurcated tributary, and the energy released in the body is far from all, so a congenital good hand like Wei Chisheng will not die immediately;

However, this kind of thunder that locks on to the target will not have this kind of waste problem, and can release all the energy contained in it, and the lethality is far better than the former at the same strength.

Even Zhao Qing himself, if he hadn't used the corresponding protective means in the middle of the "Thunder Arrow" flight, he would not be able to dodge in time at the end of the flight, and there was a high probability that he would be seriously injured by lightning.

……

More than ten miles away on the river, a strange blue-white trajectory crossed over the river in the dark night, and suddenly accelerated a hundred times at the moment when it was close to the Wuya battleship, and the electric flames burst into the air, like a miracle.

The "Infinite Sword" shook back a few steps from Lang Fenglian Shield, who was blocking in front of him, and wanted to jump up and jump to the command platform where Wang Shichong was above, but unexpectedly caught a glimpse of the white light that was as thin as paper not far away, and there was a loud "crackling", and a thunderbolt exploded in the clear sky.

The heavens and the earth were white, and with his outstanding eyesight among the super-masters, he was also blind, unable to see anything.

When Xiang Siren barely recovered half of his perspective and opened his eyes slightly, he saw that there was an extra dark spot of charred black humanoid on the ground where the young man surnamed Yuan was not long ago, but the whole person disappeared without a trace, completely disappearing from the world.

Only the pair of double knives and the metal parts of the armor that remained in the same place reminded everyone present that there was once a living person in this position, but under the bombardment of thunder, it was now completely wiped out.

With the eyes of hundreds of people on the ship, in his life, he had never heard of a super lightning that was so powerful that even the charred corpse could not be left, and he couldn't help but be terrified to the extreme, and his heart was extremely shocked.

What shocked them even more was that immediately after the first thunderbolt fell, the sky burst out several bright white electric lights in a row as if it had broken a gap, and in the blink of an eye, several people were smashed into ashes, making many people and urine in fear.

Wang Shichong, who reacted the fastest, hurriedly jumped away from the command platform and landed on the lower deck, not daring to stay at a high place that was easily struck by lightning, and shook his body and dodged behind the arrow barrier walls on the left and right sides, hoping to resist the thunderous attack.

This kind of fireproof arrow grille is made of solid wood, covered with raw cowhide, coated with fireproof medicine, and has arrow holes for the soldiers on the ship to shoot arrows to the enemy, which is an inevitable device on a large warship, and the protection ability is good.

Before he could rush to the right position, Wang Shichong's eyes were once again stimulated by the astonishing scorching light, and with the earth-shattering thunder, he caught a glimpse of Xiang Siren's figure suddenly disappeared, leaving only a sword with lightning flashing in place.

It seems that the targets of this thunderous bombardment are all those who openly opposed me just now? Wang Shichong's heart turned, and he crouched to the back of the arrow barrier, waited for a while, and found that after dozens of dense sounds, the thunder stopped temporarily, and only then did he dare to poke out half of his head.

In fact, as he expected, whether it was Xiang Siren, the young man surnamed Yuan and several of his Luliang faction guards, they had indeed disappeared without a trace, and they should not have gone into hiding, but died under the thunder.

Then, Wang Shichong's eyes widened to the extreme, and he couldn't believe that what he was seeing was what would happen in reality, because of the scorched dark spots left on the ground, part of which together formed a line of big characters: "Under the mandate of heaven, Sui Zuo is over."

These eight big characters are exactly what Zhao Qing had emphasized when he discussed with him about surrendering and preaching, asking him to pay attention to guidance when the time comes, so that Sui Jun believes in the existence of the "Mandate of Heaven".

Such a coincidental death object, exactly the same sentence, could it be said that this super lightning, which is more powerful than all the thunder I have ever seen in my life, is actually artificially created and manipulated?

Thinking of this, Wang Shichong's brain went blank, and he quickly recalled the vision of the horizon he had seen before, and the "immortal family" that he intended to "exaggerate" when he preached, strung together this series of things, and finally "understood" Zhao Qing's identity.

Holding down his heart-pounding chest, Wang Shichong struggled to get up from behind the arrow barrier, and saw that everyone on the deck was now lying on the ground in fright, trying to overcome the tremor in his voice, and began a new round of speeches.

……

After firing dozens of arrows in a row, Zhao Qing casually threw down the six-bow crossbow, listened to the roar of thunder in the distance and returned to the head of Liyang City, knowing that he had successfully cleared the blockers in the fleet.

Most people, including Wang Shichong and others, have a habit that can be said to be an advantage, but also a disadvantage.

It's that no matter how bizarre things are, how shocking they are when they are still fresh in their memories, after a while, they will put them aside or fade them down, and then everything will return to normal, especially if it conflicts with their beliefs.

A safe, stable, and understandable world is the one in which people can subconsciously accept its existence, and instinctively reject those beyond imagination and regard them as distant and inaccessible.

The "Heavenly Punishment", which can be seen at close range many times, is undoubtedly more impressive than ordinary peerless martial arts, and in the case of a large number of witnesses, it is widely spread and creates a huge momentum.

Vaguely guessed the target of her sudden shot, and looked at Zhao Qing's calm expression, the progress of the matter was quite smooth, even with Song Que's state of mind, he was a little stunned for a while, and he almost didn't grasp the thick-backed knife he was carrying.

Originally, in his guess, Zhao Qing was most likely going to use the previous method of the Imperial Envoy Flying Sword to manipulate the arrows, so that their range and accuracy would be greatly improved, and finally hit the locked target.

But in such a short period of time, dozens of arrows can be fired, and each arrow can be controlled, and he is not even an opponent with a sword, what kind of gap is this?

In the darkness before dawn, Song Que, who was only fifty or sixty percent sure that his own forces would sweep the world, suddenly found that the difficulties he needed to overcome might not be a big deal in Zhao Qing's eyes, and he suddenly had ten percent confidence in the goal he had set before.

……

A few days later, the tranquility of Liyang City gradually returned.

Regardless of inside and outside the city, you can see the shocking traces left by the war everywhere, the collapsed and damaged city walls, all kinds of charred and abandoned defense of the city, siege tools, the dry black blood stains on the road, the abandoned houses after the fire, and the decaying tiles can be seen everywhere.

But people are accustomed to this kind of scene, and everyone lives as usual, except for the migrant workers who are responsible for repairing the walls.

For the common people, war is one nightmare after another, in which they struggle until they wake up one day and then try to forget it.

This is the most tragic thing in the world, absolutely cold-blooded, cruel and unkind, so that humanity is annihilated, and neither the enemy nor the enemy has any choice. The victory of each side represents the defeat of the other, represents sacrifice and bloodshed, sorrow and bitter tears, and death is an irreparable loss.

Zhao Qing stood alone at the highest point in the city, looking down at the city that was slowly healing itself, and the rolling waves outside the city that were constantly flowing and did not change by the rise and fall of the world, and felt the ruthlessness of humanity and heaven.

Having occupied the important town of Liyang City, she had a solid rear to march in the direction of Jiangdu, but she was not as eager to take advantage of the military role of this place as ordinary army commanders, but considered the method of governing it and other towns in the future.

Those who govern the country must first have the way to govern, and only then can they be put into practice. First of all, it is necessary to achieve the rule of one city and determine the basic framework of the law of governance, so that it can be gradually perfected and implemented on a larger scale through the medium of force.

As far as the way of governance is concerned, although the Confucian Confucius and Mencius are average, only "benevolence, righteousness and morality", and few specific plans, Xunzi's thought is still very advanced, pointing out the essence of governing the country, which can be integrated into some Taoist ideas and implemented after a little modernization.

The chapter on the royal system and the chapter on the rich country provide the theoretical basis for integrating forces to do great things, and put forward the need for social mobility and division of labor; The articles on correcting names, dissolving, and persuading students provide the basis for the emancipation of the mind; The treatise on heaven provides the basis for the study of natural science.

For example, it is mentioned in "Xunzi Monarchy": "If the division is even, it is not biased, if the momentum is not one, and if all are together, it will not be used." There is heaven and earth, and there is a difference between the top and the bottom; The king of the Ming Dynasty was established and state-owned. ”

He believed that class division was an inevitable part of governing the country, and that the absence of hierarchy would lead to chaos, but he also pointed out that it was necessary to govern and maintain order, and that it was the monarch who had the ability to lead the masses.

"Xunzi Jundao" also said: "There is a chaotic monarch, but there is no chaotic country; There is a rule of law, but there is no law. Yi's law is not dead, and Yi is not in the world; The law of Yu still exists, and Xia is not the king. Therefore, the law cannot be independent, and the class cannot be independent; Those who gain it will survive, and those who lose it will die. ”

The legal system is the beginning of governing the country, and the gentleman is the source of the legal system. Establishing a good legal system and recruiting talented people to govern the country is precisely the key to governing the country.

In addition to establishing a proper post-war system, finding and absorbing talents such as Xu Xingzhi, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui is her next goal.

The average speed of the pilot process of lightning is 1.5×10^5 m/s, which is about 1/2000 of the speed of light, while the speed of the return process is much greater than the pilot velocity, which is 1/10~1/3 of the speed of light.
