So Huang Chang suddenly realized in his heart that inside the six doors, the "Purple Cloth Divine Capture" was an extremely high level, and he was not capable of being a top master. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Although this Sima Shenzhu is not an immortal cultivator, most of them have reached the peak of martial arts, and it is estimated that they are about to be able to enter the Tao with martial arts. If he really wants to fight, Huang Chang estimates that his actual combat strength is probably stronger than that of the Triple Heaven Cultivator named Zhang Chi, at least his vigilance in the face of a surprise attack is far greater than that of Daoist Zhang.

Among Guo Shouhuan's assistants, these two are the strongest, and although there are several innate martial artists and cultivators, their general strength is not high, which is about equivalent to the level of the seven saviors who were killed by Huang Chang that day. Most of the rest of the generals and lieutenants are just martial artists, and they can still make a living in commanding the troops, and they are not good at fighting like this.

After listening to Guo Shouhuan's introduction, Huang Chang couldn't help but secretly shake his head in his heart. No wonder this Guo Junshou wants to ask for help everywhere, he really doesn't have anyone under him. As the lord of a county, he didn't even have a guest secretary above the middle stage of qi refining, so it was no wonder that he would be embarrassed by a group of cultists. If it is a local self-governing territory with a strong family behind it, this will never happen.

-- In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the county system and the feudal system went hand in hand. The entire territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty was composed of a number of counties that were either directly under the jurisdiction or subdivided. The "county" is already the largest unit in the local administrative division. If it is a nobleman of a divided family, only when he reaches the princely level, he can be awarded the reward of a county, which is a very rare honor and grace - Ji Ruo's father Shengyangjun, as a direct descendant of the Ji family, the greatest wish in his life is to be awarded a county land, open up his own marquis country, and pass it on from generation to generation. But this is not an easy task, if he does not make great contributions to the imperial court, even if he and the current emperor are brothers, it is impossible for him to be rewarded with such a large territory.

For the counties directly under the imperial court, the county guards and county orders were directly appointed by the imperial court, but they also had great power at the local level. And if he didn't have considerable strength, it would be impossible to sit in this position - even a county order can be called a "Baili Hou", let alone the lord of a county. Except for the possibility of being transferred, the county guards are no different from princes in other aspects, and they are all earth emperors who dominate this side of the world.

Before coming, Huang Chang had already learned about the situation of the local Linquan County Guard from all aspects, and knew that this Lord Guo was originally an official in the capital, and when he was in the capital, he was also known for his shrewdness and ability, and he was appreciated by the emperor and released. In the world of Huang Chang's previous life, it was the norm for central officials to do a good job, go out to the local area for a period of time, and then further rise after practical training, but it was rare to see a dynasty in this world - the capital was orderly, there were many masters, and it was relatively safe. Even an ordinary person, as long as he stands in the corresponding position and has the support of the imperial court behind him, he can exert his ability. But this is not the case outside the core area of the capital, if you don't have enough ability to protect yourself, it is not uncommon for a new official to be assassinated inexplicably on the second day after taking office.

Of course, the imperial court will also send forces to assist and protect, and the six gates stationed in various places will assume some corresponding functions. However, external forces cannot be completely relied upon after all. If your own strength is insufficient, it is still difficult to sit in this position. Therefore, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, most of the local officials were from the family, without dozens or hundreds of years of heritage, without all kinds of protection and convenience provided by the family, even a county order was not so easy to do.

Guo Shouhuan actually has some foundation, some of their ancestors have worshiped Kunlun Mountain, and some immortal artifacts and methods have been handed down. I also have a monk friend who can help as a guest. But at this moment, when he was really facing the pressure of the local government, it was still very difficult - the monk named Zhang Chi had a similar temperament to him, and he was not good at fighting, and he did not dare to stay away from the county guard mansion in case someone came to assassinate him. And the strength of the rest of his subordinates is not good, not as good as that savior god, and even the "four great disciples" under his command can't do it - when he cooperated with the six doors to arrest him, he was beaten and fled back in disgrace, although there is a factor of the other party's sudden use of Horcruxes, but it is true that the art is not as good as others.

Of course, as a direct official of the Great Zhou Imperial Court, he could directly ask for help from the capital of Ho. Reinforcements are indeed available. However, like all politicians, Guo Shouhuan is not without competitors in the imperial court. The states and counties of the Great Zhou Dynasty were far apart from each other, and they were very independent of each other, and generally "solved their own troubles". If you can't solve the problem by yourself, you have to bring in foreign aid, and the price to pay is probably too large - if it is a fiefdom, independence will often be affected. Even if the trouble was solved, the imperial court stayed in the army to ensure law and order, and sent six doors to assist the civil affairs ...... And so on, the clamping means are also coming.

-- Although the Great Zhou court adhered to tradition, it still maintained the rules of splitting the territory and sealing the territory to feast on meritorious heroes. However, the successive Zhou Tianzi here are much smarter than the Zhou Dynasty in Huang Chang's previous life, and there are both feudal and removal, so that they will not seal their own territory - as long as they find an opportunity, the monarchs of the previous dynasties have never been soft when they find an excuse to take back the feudal land of the previous generation or gradually change it to a direct jurisdiction. After all, they themselves started from the vassal states and overthrew the Shang Dynasty, so they naturally have a wariness of the princes with foreign surnames.

Now, in addition to the princes of the Ji family, they don't have to worry too much about being cleaned up, and the princes with other surnames are only the ones who have just been sealed, and those who are still very meritorious in front of the current emperor can rest assured, and the rest of the heirs to the throne of the ancestors are usually cautious and respectful, lest the Son of Heaven find an excuse to remove the feudal country. And the lord is weak and cannot protect the territory - this is the most common and best excuse. Therefore, when many feudal lords encountered foreign enemies, they generally did not dare to ask the court for help unless they were forced to the point of exhaustion.

The territory directly under the central government is better, at least there is no need to be stared at by the Son of Heaven at all times, but the dumping of colleagues in the DPRK and China is inevitable after all. If Guo Shouhuan can't prove that he has enough ability to ensure the peace of this Linquan County, there will be many people in the court who want to replace him. Therefore, he would rather take out the ancestral Kunlun Fu letter and ask for help from the unfamiliar Kunlun Mountain, rather than cry out for help from the pickaxe capital.
