Chapter 900: Wen Zhong's doubts
Yuan Shi Tianzun was very angry, but the reality was very sad.
The people who lit the lamp did not return for a long time, and there was only one Antarctic immortal left by his side, and his heart was very desolate.
He wants to take revenge, but he may not be able to defeat the enemy he finds, and he doesn't even know who the enemy he can't find is.
What's even more unfortunate is that when he fought against the Tongtian Sect Master before, he was affected and had to retreat to recuperate.
At this moment, Yuan Shi Tianzun's anger was simply eager to directly destroy the entire world.
In the end, the coldness brought by thousands of years of cultivation made him quiet, and he instructed the Antarctic Immortal Weng to close the mountain and return to the dojo to retreat.
Revenge can wait, anyway, the enemies are immortal.
Now the first thing is to restore yourself to a state of being, and strength cultivation is the foundation of everything.
The rest of the saints were similar, not paying attention to the matter of sealing the gods and measuring the tribulation, and returned to their respective dojos to start retreat, waiting for the important moment to come.
The sudden suspension of the high-end game brought about the result of the human war, which had been ignored before, began to heat up in a blink of an eye.
Without the chaos of the monks, the war between Xiqi and Dashang was also rekindled.
Wen Zhong was complacent when he heard that Taishi was complacent, thinking that without the help of the monks, Xiqi would not be the opponent of the Great Shang at all, and at most three months of hard work would be able to make Xiqi completely disappear.
This self-confidence does not come out of thin air, but has enough confidence.
First of all, the strength of the two sides is not equal.
If the national strength of the Great Shang is ten, then Xiqi is at most two or three.
Although it is said that there is the support of slave owners everywhere, it is only half of the strength of the big merchants.
Secondly, in terms of logistics and military resources, since the innovation of the big businessmen, the productivity has increased rapidly.
Advanced technology, efficient organizational skills, and the enthusiasm of the freed slaves and the commoners who had relieved the burden of taxation erupted into production and life, which led to a rapid increase in the number of products of the great merchants.
In terms of materials, the big merchants can even reach at least ten to one compared with Xiqi.
There is no comparison between the efficiency of working and producing under the supervision of a sharp blade and a whip and the efficiency of producing oneself.
The former can even undermine and even lead to starvation.
And the latter, let him work for three days and three nights without rest.
In addition, the Xiqi soldiers and horses were mainly slaves, supplemented by regular sergeants who controlled and monitored the slaves.
On the side of the big merchants, it is mainly the slaves who have been freed, and at the same time, Li Yunze has already promulgated a new military merit system, and the military merit on the battlefield can get the corresponding reward!
Xiqi's side worked for nothing, and when he died, he didn't even have a pension, and he even dug a pit and buried it, not even a grave.
But here in Dashang, they give everything, even if they die in battle, their families can be compensated, and they can even send their ashes home.
The will to fight of the armies on both sides, that is really the difference from heaven to earth.
It is precisely because of this that Wen Zhong has absolute confidence and successfully won Xiqi without the participation of monks.
However, just as he was reorganizing his troops and horses and preparing for the attack of the army, the middle doctor Fei Lian rushed over from Chaoge City as an envoy.
"Fei Lian has seen the Taishi."
Wen Zhong's status in Dashang is extremely high, even if Fei Lian has achieved the high position of a middle doctor, he has to be respectful and courteous when facing Wen Zhong.
"Hmm."
Wen Zhong was not arrogant, and after returning the salute, he simply asked, "What is the matter with Doctor Zhong here?" The old man's military affairs are urgent, and if there is something, he will say it directly. ”
He was really busy, mobilizing the army to transport military allocation tasks, and he didn't have time to talk to Fei Lian.
"Yes."
Fei Lian didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly took out the letter and said, "This is the king's letter to the Taishi. ”
Wen Zhong took the letter, opened it, and after a while, he suddenly stood up with three eyes wide open, and shouted angrily with an angry face, "This is impossible!" ”
The letter was indeed written by Li Yunze, but the content was to ask Wen Zhong to postpone sending troops and not to fight Xiqi now.
For this kind of thing, Wen Zhong naturally doesn't believe or accept it.
He immediately shouted angrily and asked, "Is there a traitor in the court, bewitching the king?" ”
In his mind, how could a king, who had always behaved in the style of a clear lord, give such an unobtrusive order.
I'm about to wipe out Xiqi, so stop and stop fighting at this time?
The king will not do this, there must be a traitor to deceive the king.
Fei Lian was also taken aback, and hurriedly waved his hand, "Good teacher knows that the court and the middle are all loyal ministers." ”
Wen Zhong was stunned for a moment, and it was really true when he thought about it carefully.
Although he is on the front line, he still knows about the affairs of the DPRK.
At this time, the court was headed by Bigan Shangrong, and most of the other ministers were recommended by them, and they could all be called fair and capable, and it was absolutely impossible for them to be traitorous ministers.
But the order on this letter made Wen Zhong unable to understand no matter what.
Do you want a truce when you have the chance to win?
Wen Zhong's gaze stared at Fei Lian and asked, "This is the king's handwriting?" ”
Fei Lian immediately understood what it meant, and immediately called out to hit the sky, "Taishi Mingjian, how can I have the courage to forge the king's handwriting?" You only need to send someone to ask about this kind of thing, and I'm not crazy! This was written by the king in front of me. ”
Wen Zhong, who was puzzled, finally invited Huang Feihu, entrusted him with all the affairs of the general, and then rode the Moyu Qilin himself, and ran back to Chaoge City with sparks and lightning all the way.
When he returned to the city, he didn't go home, but went straight to the palace.
Along the way, everyone saw Wen Taishi coming back angrily, all with different expressions, and all kinds of gossip went viral.
Wen Zhong naturally didn't say much, he directly rode the Moyu Qilin to the front of the Star Picking Tower.
Li Yunze naturally knew about such a big movement.
He calmly ordered someone to invite Wen Zhong into the Star Picking Tower.
Under the propaganda of Xiqi's spies, Xingxinglou has long been said to be a place of wine pond and meat forest and countless beauties.
Although everyone who has been here knows that this is nonsense, there is no way, the people who eat melons like to hear this kind of story.
The more you refute the rumors and the more you explain, the more people believe that they are true.
So Li Yunze has been persuading them all the time, "Don't explain, it's useless." ”
This is why Xibohou Jichang, who has more than 100 sons alone, is considered to be of noble character.
And Di Xin, who obviously only has two sons, was scolded for being a wasted silver.
The reason is very simple, the history books were written by Ji Chang's descendants, of course, to glorify their ancestors and viciously curse the enemy.
Obviously, Emperor Xin wanted to abolish the funeral system and free the slaves, but it was passed on to later generations, and during the Battle of Makino, the freed slaves turned against each other and took the initiative to help the slave owners led by Ji Fa, and overturned the Emperor Xin who helped him.
Anyone in their right mind knows that this is.
But that's what people say, and it comes true when they say it.
The real Star Picking Tower, just like what Wen Zhong saw at this time, is an ordinary wooden attic.
The most important venue is the dojo where Li Yunze meditates and cultivates.
Don't say anything about the wine pond meat forest, there is not even a bowl of rice porridge here.
As for the beauty Li Yunze, even if he practiced the set of exercises given to him by Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, he would not be here.
"The King."
After meeting and saluting, Wen Zhong didn't say anything nonsense, and asked directly, "The king ordered his ministers to postpone the attack on Xiqi, but is it true?" ”
Li Yunze nodded, "Indeed, really." ”
When he came to the road, Wen Zhong was already mentally prepared, so he didn't get too excited, but just asked in a deep voice, "Why?" ”
"Because I need this war to continue."
Li Yunze's response made Wen Zhong very puzzled, "Why is this?" ”
Isn't war fought for the sake of victory? I really can't figure it out if I have the opportunity to win but don't fight.
The real reason is naturally because once Xiqi is defeated, then this god tribulation can be declared over.
Once the tribulation is over, the celestial chaos will disappear. Those powerful saints will be able to deduce the heavens.
The so-called derivation of heavenly opportunities is actually a peek into the future.
Although there are infinite possibilities in the future, Li Yunze's true identity will inevitably be exposed to the eyes of the saints.
This is something that Li Yunze cannot tolerate no matter what.
Killed the quasi-Daoist and destroyed many monks with different strengths, his current strength can win against any saint in a one-on-one situation, only Hongjun Ancestor does not know the depth and is unpredictable.
But winning steadily does not mean that you can win it all at once, you still need to go through battle.
And the battle between saints, the energy fluctuates greatly, even if the Chaos Clock is used to block time and space, it can't be stopped for long.
Once the other saints sensed it and rushed over, it would be the end of Li Yunze's siege.
Therefore, the God Sealing Tribulation can't end yet, at least Li Yunze's strength is strong enough to be able to fight without fear even if all the saints are on the opposite side.
It's just that Wen Zhong can't be told of this reason, so he can only be persuaded by other reasons.
"Taishi."
First, Wen Zhong was invited to sit down, and then Li Yunze explained, "What does the Taishi think of the innovation I promoted? ”
Wen Zhong was slightly stunned at first, and then nodded in response, "Yes." ”
The sacrifices of the merchants were brutal, and the lives of the slaves were extremely miserable, because they were not treated as human beings at all.
Many people did not want to see this, but the slave owners were too powerful to oppose it.
Now that the king has come out, many people agree.
Wen Zhong is one of them.
"But this innovation has touched the interests of too many slave owners, which is equivalent to snatching profits from them."
Li Yunze stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the west, "Xiqi's rebellion is essentially the rebellion of those slave owners who oppose innovation. ”
Wen Zhong nodded again, this is not wrong, this is the case.
"But big businessmen, but not only Xiqi has slave owners."
"The four major princes, the eight hundred small princes, which one is not a slave owner?!"
"What if we draw with Xiqi? The other princes will continue to rebel in the future, one after another. ”
"Instead of such a troublesome and continuous counterinsurgency in the future, it is better to give them a chance to jump out on their own, gather them all, and then catch them all!"
Wen Zhong already understood everything, and directly stood up and asked, "King, how can I make them jump out?" ”
"Simple."
Li Yunze's smile did not decrease: "Let Xiqi win, and win until they attack Chaoge!" ”
