662 Dou Lu Xiong Jiang Shang preached
It is said that Lu Xiong took Fei You and 100,000 Transformation Realm monks to kill Xiqi, Jiang Ziya led the crowd to challenge, but he didn't want Lu Xiong to refuse to fight, but instead sent his monks to attack all parts of Xiqi.
Lu Xiong's army has 100,000 Transformation Realm monks, not that there are only these 100,000 horses, in fact, the number of Lu Xiong's army is as high as more than one billion.
According to the tradition of the flood wilderness, or the tradition left over from the era of the demon race, the monk of the transformation realm can be called a (demon) general, a general, and the person who commands the army, and the human race inherits the tradition of the demon race, and then goes further, the human race also takes the monk of the transformation realm as a general and becomes an immortal general, but every immortal general of the human race has a standing monk army of a thousand people. The soldiers of this monk army also have the highest level of the Dan realm.
Fei Zhong Youhun was dragged by Lu Xiong to participate in the war, and he was resentful, and said: "Old General Lu, the king ordered you to quell the rebellion, and you didn't go to war yourself, but sent your subordinates to die, what does this mean? ”
Lu Xiong snorted coldly and said, "Let's not talk about whether Ben Shuai and you two wastes are the opponents of those Dao powerhouses in Xiqi, even if they win by luck, what can they do?"
"What if you win?" said Youhun.
Lu Xiong said: "Win the strong people such as Ji Fa and Jiang Ziya, and kill them, but the hundreds of millions of people of the Ji clan still exist, and after millions of years, there will be new Taoist powerhouses in the Ji clan, and they will inherit the will of their predecessors and continue to challenge the imperial clan." ”
"So......" You Hun was shocked: "You want to kill the entire Ji clan?"
"It is impossible to kill the entire Ji clan, after all, there are several quasi-saint lords standing behind the Ji clan. Lu Xiong said: "But Ji Fa's family must be killed and not an inch of grass will be left." ”
"Ji Fa is the patriarch of the Ji clan, how many billions of people in his clan have to ......" You Hun's face turned pale.
"Not bad. Lu Xiong looked at Fei You and the others coldly: "Fei Zhong, You Hun, you two met in front of the king, and killed many virtuous ministers. ”
"General Lu, this, this ......" Looking at Lu Xiong with a cold face, Fei You and the others were not able to speak.
"You two are from a scattered cultivation family, and it is easy to preach Daluo, and you want to use the sword of the imperial clan to get rid of a few great uncles, and then occupy the resources of several of them to develop your own family, the intentions of the two of you, do you think my imperial clan doesn't know?" Lu Xiong said.
"The general spares his life. Fei You and the others were frightened by Lu Xiong's thoughts.
"You don't have to be afraid, if I wanted to kill you, I would have killed you a long time ago, and I won't keep you until now. Lu Xiong said.
"General Xie. Fei You and the others hurriedly said.
Lu Xiong said: "It's not impossible for you to want to follow the benefits of the imperial clan, but you must understand one thing. ”
"General Lu, please speak. ”
"Position, you have to understand your position. Lu Xiong said: "If you want to take the opportunity of the imperial clan and the four great uncles to be a profiteer, you are looking for death, unless you also end up and stand on the side of the imperial clan." ”
"We have always been loyal servants of the Shang Dynasty. Fei You and the others hurriedly said: "And based on our actions, if the four uncles win, the two of us will also die without a place to be buried." ”
"It's not enough. Lu Xiong said.
"It's not enough, so what else do we do?"
"Some family patriarchs sacrifice themselves for the sake of the family. There are very few such people, but how can I be sure that you two are not such people?" Lu Xiong said, "So the families of the two of you must also participate in this war, and they must participate in it all. ”
Fei You's faces were ugly, they were naturally not the kind of people who could sacrifice themselves for the sake of the family, but it was difficult for them to tie the fate of the entire family to the imperial family.
"If you want to borrow the sword of the imperial clan, it's not impossible, but you must pay a sufficient price. Lu Xiong said coldly: "You have already borrowed the sword of the imperial clan, so you have to pay this price, and if you don't pay, you have to pay, if you want to regret it, then exchange the lives of your whole clan for it." ”
Fei You's face was pale, they were obviously framing Zhongliang, but in fact, they were killing people with knives to strengthen themselves, they thought that their actions were extremely secretive, but where did they think that they had long been seen clearly by the imperial family, but the imperial family just watched coldly and let the two of them do it. Now the two finally understand that it was not they who bewitched the king, but that the imperial family had long been willing to weaken the four uncles, just in the name of slander by the two, and as for forcing the two of their families to go all out, it was just incidental.
"I understand, now I will issue a family order, ordering the family army to come to war. Fei You said: "Although my two families are small, it is still possible to dispatch 100,000 immortal generals." ”
"Good. Lu Xiong said: "Don't worry, as long as you follow our imperial clan wholeheartedly, after this battle, the two major families of Feiyou, even if they can't get the position of the four great uncles, can at least get the position of the marquis of Kyushu." ”
The territory of the human race is divided into Kyushu, and each state has a town guarding the princes, collectively known as the Marquis of Kyushu, whose status is second only to the four uncles, Lu Xiong made this promise, which can be regarded as a slap in the face to a sweet date, after all, with the strength of the Fei You family, each sent 100,000 immortal generals, and it can be regarded as the whole family belongings.
Don't mention how Lu Xiong beat Fei You and the others on the side of the Shang Dynasty, just talk about Xiqi's side.
Compared with the entire Shang Dynasty, Xiqi is considered to be a weak party, but compared with Lu Xiong, Xiqi is considered to have many soldiers and generals, so as soon as Lu Xiong came, Jiang Ziya sent Nezha to invite the battle, but Jiang Ziya did not expect that Lu Xiong would not meet Nezha, but instead sent various immortal generals to attack the hinterland of Xiqi, which was clearly to expand the war to the middle and lower levels.
"It's worthy of Lu Xiong. Jiang Ziya exclaimed: "Since the time of the battle of the demons, Lu Xiong has been the commander of the army of the Zi clan, responsible for commanding the army of the Zi clan to fight against the demon army, and now the Shang Dynasty has sent Lu Xiong, obviously to weaken the Ji clan from the foundation." ”
Ji Fa said worriedly: "Father Shang, how is this good?"
Jiang Ziya said: "Don't panic, the old minister has also refined the art of war and war on Kunlun Mountain, and he can use Lu Xiong's hand to verify what the old minister has learned." ”
"Then please leave it to Father Shang. Ji Fa said.
"I will live up to the king's trust. Jiang Ziya bowed and said.
Since then, the war between the Shang and Zhou sides has entered the stage of a war of attrition.
As the defensive side, the Xiqi Ji clan had to defend the territory of seventy or eighty immortal domains, and was at a strategic disadvantage. Lu Xiong has superb military skills, and commands 300,000 immortal generals under his command to take turns to fight, taking advantage of the surprise of the attacker, constantly consuming the strength of the Ji clan.
However, Lu Xiong didn't expect that although Jiang Ziya only had Taiyi Taoism, but the art of war was so strong that he was not under him, although Jiang Ziya was on the defensive side, he was also on a par with Lu Xiong.
After a long time, Lu Xiong's troops gradually ran short, and King Su also took the opportunity to continuously draw the godman bloodline of the imperial family and its vassal families to participate in the war, and the godman bloodline was slowly consumed in the war.
The war lasted for more than 200,000 years, and although the Shang and Zhou sides had their own losses on the surface, the balance of victory slowly tilted to the Xiqi side, because Jiang Ziya's Taoism was gradually improving.
Finally, at the end of the third tribulation of the Overlord Era of the King of Xu, Jiang Ziya preached in one fell swoop and achieved Da Luo Jin Xian, and Jiang Ziya's avenue was the avenue of the art of war, and its avenue spirit treasure was the "Taigong Art of War".
Before Jiang Ziya, although all strong clans had such as Lu Xiong who was specifically responsible for commanding the art of war, but no one had ever used the art of war to preach.
Jiang Ziya, who proved to be a big Luo Jinxian, has a strong level of military art, and he has been able to crush Lu Xiong, but after Jiang Ziya discussed it with Ji Fa, he did not defeat Lu Xiong directly, but continued to hold on to Lu Xiong.
Jiang Ziya had long seen through Lu Xiong's thoughts, the reason why Lu Xiong expanded the scale of the war to the middle and lower levels was to weaken the overall strength of the Ji clan, after all, the middle-level immortals came from the low-level monks, and the low-level monks came from mortals, although Lu Xiong did not dare to slaughter mortals for no reason, but as long as the low-level monks of the Ji clan were exterminated, then the number of middle-level immortals of a tribe would be weak, and without the backbone of the true immortal Taiyi, it would naturally be difficult to produce high-level Taoist powerhouses.
Therefore, as long as the speed of loss of low-level monks through war is greater than the speed of replenishment, the foundation of a tribe will be consumed sooner or later, and eventually it will become a rootless water with only strong people and no clansmen, just like the two royal clans of the demon clan, the Golden Crow and the Teng Snake.
In these hundreds of thousands of years of war, Lu Xiong did kill tens of billions of low-level monks of the Ji clan, reducing the overall number of low-level monks of the Ji clan by two percent, which can be described as a remarkable achievement.
But in fact, this is just an illusion deliberately posed by Jiang Ziya.
Lu Xiong ignored one point, that is, the lifespan of the low-level monks of the Terran race, because of the existence of the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, the lifespan of the low-level monks of the Terran race is only a few thousand years at most, even if there is no war, the monks of the Ji clan who died under the Heavenly Tribulation will not be much less than the monks who died in battle in these more than 200,000 years.
However, Jiang Ziya made full use of the war to train a large number of backbone monks, born in sorrow, died in peace, although war can cause the decline of civilization, but it is not the soil for the growth of heroes.
When the Chinese dynasties changed, there were always countless heroes who rose in the grass, the most typical is Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty and Liu Bei, the ancestor of the Shu Han Dynasty. Superstitious people always say that the second emperor is a natural emperor, and he has his own star to protect him, and people who are not superstitious also generalize it by coincidence.
But what is the real reason? In fact, the potential of the vast majority of people is not much different, what they owe is just an opportunity for training, Liu Bang and Liu Bei took advantage of the situation, I don't know how many times they were defeated by their opponents, and they have been following their young partners to experience failures together, and there is no lack of experience and opportunities for meritorious service, and they can naturally grow into a generation of famous ministers and good generals. If there is no general trend of war at the end of the Qin and Han dynasties, which round will get the slaughter of dogs and pigs.
Jiang Ziya realized that the cruel war sharpened talents, so he didn't care about the gains and losses of one time and one place at all, but for the purpose of cultivating and training talents, so in the more than 200,000 years of war, although the overall number of monks of the Ji clan declined, the proportion of monks between the upper and lower realms also decreased.
In the human race, generally speaking, between the two small realms, such as the initial and intermediate levels of the transformation realm, the ratio of monks is often about ten to one, and between the two major realms, such as the Dan realm and the god realm, and the god realm and the transformation realm, the ratio of monks is about one thousand to one.
And under the tempering of Jiang Ziya, the two ratios of the Xiqi Ji clan have reached nine to one and eight hundred to one. That is to say, when only one out of every thousand monks in the other tribes of the human race can break through to a higher realm, one of the eight hundred monks of the Ji clan can break through to a higher realm, which is two and a half times higher than the average level of the human race.
It can be said that now that the foundation of the Ji clan has been established, with Jiang Ziya's enlightenment of the Da Luo Golden Immortal, the attainment of the art of war is deeper, and the losses of the low-level monks of the Ji clan will be less. Therefore, Jiang Ziya proposed to Ji Fa, the king of Zhou Wu, that while Lu Xiong had not yet noticed, it was better to continue the war, so that the Ji clan could accumulate the foundation and narrow the gap in strength with the imperial family.
