Chapter 196 Danding Aid
In order to prevent the innate grandmaster who was finally sent to the door from running away, it was also to show his sincerity.
After receiving Lu Yuan's request for support, Danding Dao discussed and finally decided to give him super-standard support.
And sent Anqiu Zhenren to dispatch in person.
It is not only to show his attention, but also to let him take a look and confirm whether the situation on Lu Yuan's side is true.
Obviously, Danding Dao also had doubts about Lu Yuan being a good innate grandmaster and going to cultivate the short-lived immortal method without doing brain cramps.
Therefore, without confirming Lu Yuan's true intentions, it was impossible for Danding Dao to deliver assistance at will.
After checking it at this time, it was confirmed that Lu Yuan was already congenital, and he couldn't help but make Anqiu Zhenren feel a little happy.
But it is not enough to ask for help.
Therefore, after a little praise, Anqiu Zhenren said straightforwardly: "Lu Daoyou sent someone to pass on the letter, saying that he wanted to cultivate the Taiping Taoist Book, can this matter be true?" ”
Lu Yuan nodded: "This is naturally true. ”
When Anqiu Zhenren heard this, his heart was at ease, but after looking the other party up and down, he asked, "Why didn't that Taoist friend cultivate the Taoist book?" ”
At the beginning, he handed over the Taoist book to Lu Yuan, if the other party really wanted to practice, with the other party's current territory and people, he would have been able to practice the Taiping Taoist book a long time ago.
Lu Yuan had already said something about this, and said at this time: "If you want to cultivate the Taoist book, you need to repair the altar first." Now the altar is still under construction, the pillar of heaven has not been worshipped, there is no immortal spirit, how to practice the Taoist book? ”
With the limitations of the Taiping Daoshu, or the limitations of the current immortal cultivation world, if you don't knock on the heavenly pillar, you will be attracted to the qi of the immortals, and you will leave the blessed land of the cave, and no one will want to cultivate immortals.
This is already the consensus of the immortal cultivation world.
Anqiu Zhenren nodded slightly, agreeing with this statement, and then said, "Daoist friends have built an altar?" ”
Lu Yuan nodded and said, "It's still under construction, and it will be a few months before it is completed." ”
Anqiu frowned: "It's just an altar to the sky, tens of thousands of people can be requisitioned, and it can be cultivated in a few months, why is it so slow?" ”
Lu Yuan glanced at him and said angrily: "You need to ask Daoyou about this." The rebellion of Taiping Road in Jian'an County shocked the government and the opposition. What he did, Daoist friends don't think they can hide it from the world, right?
If I build an altar with great fanfare, I will surely attract the attention of the world.
At that time, if people recognized that this was the sacrificial altar of the Taiping Daoshu, wouldn't everyone know that I had practiced the Taiping Daoshu?
In this case, how can the court tolerate me?
Such as the likes of the Purple Cloud Dao, how do they think of me?
As a last resort, I will never expose the fact that I am practicing the Taiping Taoist Book by myself.
Therefore, the altar of sacrificing the heavenly pillars needs to be built in secret, and a lot of manpower cannot be used.
I asked people to start this at the beginning of the year, and now we have only half of the construction, and it will only be three or five months before it is completed. ”
When Anqiu Zhenren heard this reason, his expression couldn't help but be sneering.
Indeed, he Danding Dao did such a thing in Jian'an County before, which has completely exposed the Taiping Dao Book in the Yue Imperial Court and Ziyun Dao.
And if Lu Yuan cultivates this book, it is inevitable that he will embark on the road of competing for world domination.
In this case, the Yue Imperial Court, which owns the land south of the Yangtze River, will certainly not be able to tolerate him.
Sending troops to conscript is a common thing.
And over there in Ziyun Road.
In order to let Lu Yuan give up the idea of cultivating immortals, Zhenxuan Zhenren specially taught him the secret of innate secrets, in order to prevent someone from continuing to cultivate immortals and divide up their already small immortal qi.
If Lu Yuan chose the path of cultivating immortals and exposed his cultivation of the Taiping Dao Book, it would be difficult to predict what Ziyun Dao's attitude would be towards him.
With these two concerns, Lu Yuan is more cautious, which is indeed in line with common sense.
And the other party can take this into account, but it can also be confirmed from the side that he really has the idea of practicing the Taiping Daoshu.
Otherwise, why do you do all this cover-up?
Thinking of this in his heart, Anqiu Zhenren already believed most of Lu Yuan's idea of wanting to practice the Taiping Daoshu.
But just in case, he still has to make one last confirmation.
"Daoist friends said that an altar was built, where is this altar, I wonder if you can lead me to have a look?" Anqiu Zhenren asked.
"Of course this can."
Lu Yuan had nothing to do with this, anyway, with Danding Dao's position, it was impossible to do anything to destroy his altar, so he responded directly: "This altar is in the territory of Yangshan Mansion, not far from here, if you don't dislike it, come with me to take a look."
It just so happened that since I ordered someone to build the altar, I have been busy with important military and political affairs, and I have not had time to make rounds.
It's good to check it out at this time. ”
Anqiu Zhenren smiled when he heard this: "Then it will be troublesome to Daoyou." ”
Lu Yuan waved his hand and said, "This is a trivial matter." ”
Then, the two of them didn't delay much, and after Lu Yuan explained the affairs a little, he took Anqiu Zhenren and rode on a fast horse and ran all the way to Yangshan Mansion.
The two traveled day and night, and it took only three days to arrive at Yangshan Mansion.
Then he didn't stop, and went straight to the territory of Yangshan Mansion, deep in the mountains of the Lianshan Mountain Range.
Lu Yuan explained that the place where Sun Siwen built the altar was in the deep mountains.
It took a day, through the mountains, and the two arrived at a valley.
This valley was originally a cottage of the Miao people, but as the Miao people in the southern three prefectures were flattened by Lu Yuan, this cottage was no exception, and it was directly broken and occupied.
Later, Lu Yuan needed a secret place to build an altar, and after Sun Siwen found Yangshan Mansion, he felt that this place was the most suitable, so he sent Miao prisoners to be guarded by Lu Yuan's cronies, and slowly built an altar here.
Now time flies, and half a year has passed.
"Master, now that the base of the altar has been built, now you only need to continue to fill in the high barriers, lay the rituals given by the master, and decorate the grain pillars, and you can repair this altar."
On the mountains on both sides of the valley, after learning that Lu Yuan had arrived, a registered disciple in charge of the valley here rushed to pay a visit, and at this time led the two to begin to inspect the progress of the project.
After hearing this, Lu Yuan and An Qiu looked at each other.
I saw that in the valley at this time, thousands of Miao people were young and strong, and at this time, under the supervision of more than 100 soldiers, they were carrying a basket and a basket, carrying earth and stones, and going to pile up the altar.
And when it was piled up, the same special ritual utensils were also laid in the altar at the same time.
A huge altar, covering an area of hundreds of acres, the area is active and wide, and the project is huge.
It is indeed not easy for these 1,000 Miao people to achieve such progress in just half a year.
Therefore, after reading it, Lu Yuan couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, and said to his disciple: "You did a good job, but in terms of the construction period, it needs to be accelerated." ”
When he said this, he glanced at Anqiu next to him, obviously, this was for the other party.
The disciple listened to the master's instructions, and hurriedly said: "Yes, the disciple will order it later, let those Miao people work for one more hour every day, and it will be completed as soon as possible." ”
After Anqiu next to him finished reading the altar and retracted his gaze, he couldn't help but smile when he saw the performance of Lu Yuan and his disciples: "The altar is a delicate thing, and it is related to the sacrifice of the Heavenly Pillar, so there must be no mistakes."
If you rush the work and cause problems with the altar, the work will be in vain.
Daoyou is only born to break through the realm, and there is plenty of time, so there is no need to rush for a while. ”
At this time, after confirming that Lu Yuan was really building the altar seriously, Anqiu was no longer the slightest bit confused about whether the other party cultivated the Taiping Dao Book.
Therefore, after the goal was achieved at this time, he began to pay attention to the quality of Lu Yuan's cultivation Dao book.
Finally met a congenital grandmaster who was willing to practice the Taiping Dao Book, Anqiu Zhenren didn't want Lu Yuan to die early because of his hasty cultivation.
It is extremely meaningful for Danding Dao to let the other party live for two more months and provide more cultivation data.
Now he took the initiative to persuade Lu Yuan that there was no need to rush to cultivate the Dao Book.
And the main owner is not in a hurry, and Lu Yuan, who already wants to fool the other party, will not be in a hurry.
So he glanced at his disciple and said, "Hear that, right?" Since Anqiu is a real person, let's do what the real person says. Slow down the construction period, work slowly and carefully, and don't make a mess. ”
Seeing that Anqiu Zhenren was just a word, he asked his master to change his words, and the disciple was a little surprised, but he didn't dare to ask more, just nodded and said, "The disciple obeys." Later, he instructed to reduce the daily working hours by one hour, so that those Miao people could have more energy and polish the altar well. ”
"Well, let's do it."
Lu Yuan nodded, then waved his hand and said, "There's nothing for you here, stand down." ”
The disciple bowed, then quickly retreated.
After the people around him left, and there were only two people left, Lu Yuan looked at Anqiu Zhenren and said, "Now the matter on the side of the poor Dao, the Taoist friends have confirmed it. The poor Dao needs assistance, can you give me a letter of approval?
Practicing the Taiping Taoist Book, but it is necessary to establish a country, gather the fortune of all the people as a king, and worship the pillars of heaven.
If you really do this, it will be equivalent to tearing your face with the court.
Now that the situation in the imperial court is getting better, hundreds of thousands of troops are marching west into Dongting County, and several grandmasters are coming with them.
If I don't have enough strength, in the current situation, I won't rashly turn against the court, that is no different from looking for death.
Therefore, if the Taoist friends do not give enough benefits, then the matter of practicing the Taiping Taoist Book will have to be put on hold indefinitely. ”
Now the reason why Lu Yuan is cooperating with Anqiu Zhenren is to show his innate strength to the other party, and to lead people to check the altar, and he is busy running back and forth, in order to provide assistance in the hands of the other party.
If you are busy with such a pass, the other party will not give enough benefits.
Then I'm sorry.
Don't blame Lu Yuan for not waiting.
Anqiu Zhenren also knew Lu Yuan's thoughts, laughed twice at this time, and said confidently: "Lu Daoyou, don't worry. Many of the previous ones were just to confirm the hearts of Daoist friends to cultivate immortals. Now that it has been confirmed, it will naturally not be verified further.
And the assistance prepared by this Daoist for Lu Daoyou this time will definitely satisfy Daoyou. ”
When Lu Yuan saw Anqiu Lao Dao saying such big words, he couldn't help but be curious in his heart, could it be that the other party really prepared ten million taels of silver this time?
Thinking of this, his heart jumped and he asked, "If Daoyou says so, then I'm curious." I wonder what you're going to help me? ”
Anqiu stroked his flowing beard, and said with a smile: "10 million taels of silver, 2 million stone grains, 10,000 iron armors, 10,000 strong crossbows, 30,000 strong bows, 50,000 swords and spears, 50 divine blood elixirs, and three first-class martial arts, I don't know if the above is enough?" ”
After Lu Yuan listened to the other party's report, the whole person was stunned.
Too much, too much.
There are too many things given by Danding Dao.
The 10,000,000,000 taels of silver and 2,000,000 stone of grain will not be mentioned. With these materials, it is enough to support the 100,000 soldiers under Lu Yuan's command, which is almost a year and a half of the battle.
And 10,000 pieces of iron armor, 10,000 strong crossbows, 30,000 strong bows, and 50,000 swords and spears, this is even more helpful to Lu Yuan than those silver grains.
The reason is also very simple.
He had 100,000 soldiers and horses, and in addition to the original 10,000 veterans, there were 90,000 left, but they were all recruited in this year.
With a sudden increase of 90,000 soldiers, it is not difficult to feed them, but it is difficult to equip them with ironclad weapons.
The six prefectures under Lu Yuan's rule basically all suffered from the war, local production was destroyed, and the treasury was exhausted, so there was no supply of enough weapons and armor.
Therefore, of the newly recruited 90,000 soldiers, except for a few 10,000 or 20,000 people, who could have some captured leather armor and iron armor, the rest did not even have a set of armor.
And it is well known.
On the battlefield, whether there is armor protection or not, it is completely two states.
A batch of armored warriors, under the same conditions, can completely deal with three or five unarmored warriors.
Needless to say, the strong bow and crossbow.
A good bow and a good crossbow can be built in a year or two, to say the least.
Lu Yuan expanded his army in such a short period of time, and he couldn't afford to have so many bows and crossbows for the army under his command.
This also led to the fact that many of his subordinates, who were born in the Orion Mountain People, could only use those hunting bows with very little power at this time, how shabby they were.
If you can have 10,000 strong crossbows and 30,000 strong bows, then distribute them.
Let the Orion shotguns in Lu Yuan's army who are good at shooting be replaced, then in an instant, the long-range strike capability of his army will increase several times.
The other swords and spears are 50,000 pieces each, although they are inferior to the armor and strong bows, but they can also greatly alleviate Lu Yuan's lack of ordinary weapons and give his army a round of new equipment.
In short, all of the above military aid is in place, and I dare not say that it is okay to increase the combat power of the 100,000 soldiers in Lu Yuan's hands by half, or even double.
And that's just for the army.
The fifty Divine Blood Spirit Pills and the three first-class martial arts in the back are not bad at all in comparison.
Let's not talk about those first-class exercises, Lu Yuan is not short of this, and he is not very interested in it.
But fifty pills of Divine Blood Spirit Pill, if used well, could directly cultivate nearly ten first-class masters for Lu Yuan.
If he could be assisted by so many first-class masters, then the top-level combat power that he originally lacked could become abundant in an instant.
Not to mention guarding the existing territory, even controlling a county, that is more than enough.
To sum up, this time Danding Dao gave so much assistance and made such a generous move, it is no wonder that Lu Yuan was stunned.
"Gollum ......"
Lu Yuan swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and after coming back to his senses, he looked at Anqiu Zhenren's smiling face, and couldn't help but confirm: "What the real person just said, but it's true?" ”
He couldn't believe that with just one aid, Danding Dao could give so many good things.
It's true.
Originally, what Lu Yuan thought was that Danding Dao could give a thousand taels of silver, which was enough.
But now it seems that this is a thousand taels of silver.
All this aid added up, a thousand taels of silver increased tenfold, barely enough to compare.
There were too many benefits, which made Lu Yuan a little apprehensive.
'I originally wanted to pit Dan Dingdao, take the benefits and repay the debt, let them suffer this dumb loss.
But now that the other party has invested so much, if I still pay the bill.
I'm afraid that after the Daoist Master of Danding Dao heard the news, he couldn't help but come out of the mountain gate and go south for thousands of miles to take my life, right? ’
Lu Yuan thought of this possibility, and he had a headache in his heart.
The more Dan Ding Dao attaches importance to this matter, the more risks and blows he will bear when he turns his face with the other party in the future.
So far, he has retreated a little.
After all, even without the assistance of Danding Dao, as long as it takes some time, he can successfully destroy the Iron Sword Gate.
The benefits won, although not as good as this aid, can be one-fourth or fifth.
Although these gains are not too much, they can also support the soldiers and horses in their hands for several months and a half.
If the Miao people can be successfully subdued later, they can also obtain the goods they previously looted in Dongting County, which is also a lot of income.
If it is still not enough, you can even find Yan Wangqiu and Su Xuange to borrow some money and food to support.
There are many sources of money and food, which is enough for Lu Yuan to fight for a year and a half.
There is really no need to provoke Danding Dao and offend such a great avenue.
But just when he thought so.
"These promises, of course, are true."
I saw that Anqiu Zhenren affirmed Lu Yuan's question, and then explained: "The reason why my Dao has not responded to Daoist friends for a long time this time is to raise these aids for Daoist friends.
Now tens of millions of taels of silver have been transported from Liang to Dongting County.
Two million stone grains have also been purchased from all over the country through the channels of my Danding Dao, and they can be shipped to Daoyou at any time.
Those weapons and armor, because of the suspected prohibition, are a little difficult to transport. But in February or March, it can also be shipped. ”
When Anqiu Zhenren said this, he took out a jade box from his arms, as well as three books, and shook them in front of Lu Yuan: "As for the fifty Divine Blood Spirit Pills and three first-class exercises, the old Dao has already brought Daoist friends, you can take them." ”
After saying that, Anqiu Zhenren sent the things over.
Lu Yuan looked at this scene, and the words that originally came to his lips couldn't help but swallow.
Danding Dao has already prepared everything, and now that he wants to quit, the other party probably won't agree.
After all, there are so many supplies for this aid. If you want to mobilize and transfer them, it is estimated that the resources consumed are not a few.
said that it was comparable to the aid materials, and Lu Yuan believed it.
The other party paid such a price, you said don't want it, don't want it, is it really easy for others to bully?
I'm afraid that if I didn't say it here, the old Anqiu Dao in front of him instantly turned his face and hit him.
As soon as he thought of the identity of the other party's senior immortal cultivator, Lu Yuan couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Although he has also cultivated immortals, he is also a martial arts innate at the same time.
But really to Shanganqiu Lao Dao, to be honest, he is really not sure that he can beat the other party, and even survive from the other party.
Thinking of this, he could only show a smile, stretched out his hand to take the jade box and the secret book, and said, "Then thank you Daoyou." ”
