If there were no Lin Xiao's Five Dragon Wheels, and there was no wall of fire that Lin Xiao had carefully laid out, then the Gu worms bred with 100,000 people as feed would easily fly into the battlefield where the barbarian army and the Sui army were fighting, and when the time came, there were 600,000 people on both sides and more than 100,000 war horses, and what a huge community these Gu worms would expand, the battalion in the rear of the Sui army would definitely not be able to withstand the bite of these Gu worms.

Once the million-strong army of the Sui army is wiped out and the elite is lost, then the Great Sui Empire in the rear will no longer be in danger to defend, and the 2.5 million grassland barbarian cavalry will be able to dominate Guanzhong and Guanxi, and if at the same time, a rebellion breaks out in the south of the empire again or the Miao barbarians attack in the mountains, it will force the empire to invest more energy to deal with it.

Don't forget, there is another country in the north of the empire that has a feud with the Great Sui, which still occupies the land of Liaoxi County in the era of the Han Empire, and is also the object of the Sui Emperor's order to gather a large army to crusade - the Bohai State. In case the Bohai State uses the actions of the northern grassland barbarians and the southern Miao barbarians to launch an attack on the empire at the same time, it may cause huge losses to the empire, and the Great Sui Empire, which was originally powerful and in the middle of the sky, may begin to decline from then on, and the next battle for the empire may break out directly!

Of course, there is another thing that is terrifying, that is, the grassland barbarians in the north do not stop, but still manipulate these Gu worms that have formed a scale, and continue to move south and eastward, even if they are wiped out by the Central Plains families, it will cause a large number of losses to the people! The reason why the Central Plains Empire is strong in this era is not that the territory is vast, and the number of people living in it is extremely large, so that the Central Plains Dynasty always has enough manpower to complete foreign expansion or self-defense wars.

Once the advantage of population is exhausted, then if the Central Plains Dynasty wants to restore the old view, it is not possible to do it in one generation or two. Moreover, the more the population is weakened, the weaker the Qi of the Central Plains Dynasty will be, and the slower it will recover. However, if the number of people in the Central Plains is maintained at a certain order of magnitude or more, it will take less time to recover.

This point is most distinct in the modern society where Lin Xiao was born. At the time of the founding of New China, the population of Huaxia was as high as 40,000, and two generations later, this number reached 100,000! Even with the implementation of the family planning policy, this population has reached 150,000 60 years after the founding of the People's Republic of China! This is nearly four times the number 60 years ago 60 years ago!

When the Han Empire was replaced by the Great Sui, the entire population of the entire empire's ruling area was only 100,000! If we change to the corresponding modern society at the same time in the history of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the corresponding population was only 30 million! With the turmoil and war in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasty, this population quickly decreased to 10 million, and many of the granaries that everyone is familiar with today were exiled prisoners at that time, or the places where life was the most difficult, such as the area around Dongting Lake in Hubei.

Lin Xiao was still worried about his participation in a large-scale killing (burning countless barbarian soldiers), and he was even more worried about the current situation of the barbarian camp, but he didn't know that it was because of Lin Xiao's unintentional wall of fire that a catastrophe for the people of the Central Plains was avoided, and at the same time, the historical development of the Shushan world was exempted from going in an unknown direction. This is a great merit, enough to offset the killing karma caused by Lin Xiao.

Although there were fewer and fewer Gu insects in the camp, Lin Xiao also had enough time to carefully observe the specific appearance of this thing, and at a glance, Lin Xiao also secretly exclaimed: Luck!

Because these black smoke turned out to be composed of countless gnats, it is the gnats that everyone is most familiar with and don't care about, only this kind of thing that everyone is familiar with, after dispersion, is the least easy to be found and eliminated by everyone, and it is also the easiest to enter the densely populated places of the Central Plains to breed, and eventually cause the epidemic of plague.

The reason why the Eastern Han Empire moved south on a large scale was because the north at that time encountered a large-scale drought in addition to the warlord family rebellion, and the south at the same time suffered from a large-scale typhoid fever, which caused a large number of population losses, and the imperial family of the Eastern Han Empire resolutely moved south, one was to avoid the threat of the northern warlords to the royal family, and the other was to lead a large number of northern people to the south to eat, even if the northern imperial foundation was given up for this reason.

And that huge typhoid fever was caused by these inconspicuous gnats, and they were the spreaders of that plague. If it weren't for the joint efforts of the Heavenly Master Dao Ling and Zhang Zhongjing, who was also a disciple of the Dao Sect at that time, to cut off the source of the plague, this plague would have spread to the Central Plains!

And the source of that plague was the Gu Master from Miao Jiang. Zhang Tianshi and Zhang Yisheng teamed up to wipe out most of the Gu masters in Miao Jiang, almost cutting off the inheritance of Gu masters, so that the subsequent Southern Han Empire could be stable for hundreds of years. It wasn't until now, the simplest and most insidious Gu worm, that the gnats Gu was discovered by Lin Xiao, and he knew that Miao Jiang's Gu Master had resurfaced again.

At that moment, Lin Xiao couldn't hold back any longer, and immediately increased the output of True Yuan mana, urging the Five Dragon Wheels to close the wall of fire to the center, and the blazing high temperature immediately turned the remaining Gu worms into ashes.

However, now is not the time for Lin Xiao to leave the barracks and go to Miao Jiang to explore, after all, there is still a 2.5 million army of the grassland barbarians at hand, according to the report of the Sui army scouts, the barbarian army is only three days away from the current battlefield. Although I don't know what caused the main force of the barbarian army to delay the trip, it is definitely a good thing for the current Sui army.

Don't look at the Sui army's great victory over the 500,000 vanguard of the barbarian army, and only 200,000 Sui troops went into battle, but at the time of the war, wasn't the Sui army soldier nervous?

So even if there was a big victory, all the Sui troops worked the same hard, at least the 100,000 sword and shield soldiers who went out to fight were the hardest, and as soon as the battle was over, almost all the sword and shield soldiers who returned to the camp fell asleep directly - they didn't even eat dinner.

Fortunately, there were not only more than 200,000 infantry, cavalry, and crossbowmen in the camp, but also more than 700,000 troops, so when Lin Xiao explored the barbarian camp alone and dealt with the remaining gnats and Gu, a large number of Sui troops set off again and went to the empty barbarian vanguard camp to pack up the spoils.

Lin Xiao didn't go, and he didn't let Li Qing go, it wasn't that Lin Xiao felt sorry for his apprentice, but that Li Qing had a big battle today, and his mental consumption was no less than that of the veterans and generals of the Li family, and he was even weaker than other generals because of his efforts to endure the serious uneasiness in his chest and abdomen.

In Lin Xiao's opinion, this is not Li Qing's physical problem, with Lin Xiao's teaching of the Taiqing One Vein Initiation Foundation Building Technique, Li Qing at this time is already much stronger than in the past, even if all the generals of the current Sui Army are added together, it is just a matter of one person and one lance. So Li Qing's problem is not physical, but psychological.

Li Qing This kind of problem, although Lin Xiao himself has not encountered it, but he has seen it in movies and TV, this is a kind of battlefield syndrome, and ordinary soldiers who are new to the battlefield will have this situation, as long as they experience more battles, this symptom will heal without medicine.

As for why Lin Xiao can see so many lives disappear and remain unshaken? For example, when you slash and kill in the game, are those monsters or NPC characters a life? From a certain point of view, it is precisely because of Lin Xiao's kindness, in order to avoid making a big mistake because of his soft heart, that he subconsciously regards all the opponents he encounters in killing occasions as NPCs, so that Lin Xiao can look at everything in the world from a divine perspective, so as not to fall into psychological diseases.

This method Lin Xiao can use, but there is no way to teach Li Qing to use it, because even if he tells Li Qing what God's perspective is, it is estimated that Li Qing will not understand, but will explain more concepts to Li Qing, no way, this is the moat caused by different worlds, this thing has not been seen Even Master Xuandu is very interested?

So, Lin Xiao left Li Qing in the camp, rested with peace of mind, and while resting, he demonstrated to this little disciple the consequences of the defeat of the Sui army - Lin Xiao's ability to use a small phantom array now is getting more and more perfect, and it is getting faster and faster, three or two breaths of kung fu, you can lay out a small phantom array, at least you can cover up your various breaths and images, and even cut off the snooping and estimation of various spells - this is to prepare some array materials in advance, such as the suppression of the array flag and the array eye.

And in order to divert Li Qing's attention, Lin Xiao took out this set of skills, and these are all things that Lin Xiao's other disciples have not gotten, Li Qing is the only one now!

Having said that, this is also the weakest of the seven disciples in Li Qing's Dao and Xing mana, and he has just started, and he hasn't even completed the foundation building.

However, if you consider that Li Qing participated in the Great War and was also the vanguard general of the Sui Army, Li Qing did not build a foundation, which is actually a good thing. As long as there is no foundation, then all the killings that occur now can only be dealt with according to the methods of mortals, and the two countries are at war, and it is impossible to measure karma. But if Li Qing has already used the Taiqing Heart Method to build the foundation, then it can be regarded as a cultivator who has joined the war in the world, and it belongs to the killing of mortals by immortals, then karma must be calculated according to the rules of the Heavenly Dao.

It's like Lin Xiao solved so many Gu worms and exempted the people of the Central Plains from a killing robbery, but he didn't get merit, because while avoiding the calamity and obtaining merit, he also caused a large number of mortal soldiers to be killed and injured, and it also added a lot of karma, so it was equivalent to Lin Xiao killing one person in order to save one person, and the offset ratio of merit and karma was different, so when this battle was over, the merit that should have been obtained was not obtained- But this does not mean that Lin Xiao will not lose merit because of this incident in the future, since the beneficiary will get a chance to survive because of the change in the original trajectory, then those merits will also be delayed and become a trickle.
