"However, Rao Jiang still hates them deeply. Many of the relatives and elders of the leaders of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave died at the hands of Tuyuhun. If we attack Tuyuhun, we can openly form an army in the name of revenge and unite the scattered soldiers of each village into one."
"And there is another advantage to attacking Tuyuhun. The soldiers are unaware and unaffected by the terrain. They will not suffer from dizziness, headaches, panic, and fatigue like the Tang soldiers under General Xue Rengui in the past. Their combat effectiveness will not be damaged."
Chi Li was very excited. If he could really form such an army, as long as he could think of a way to keep 50% of them afterwards, his power would greatly increase.
Chi Li became excited: "Your Highness is worthy of being the Dragon Descendant of the Tang Dynasty. Just a few simple words have made me suddenly enlightened. Since Your Highness has a plan, then the insect technique of the Twelve Caves."
Li Xiang pointed to his head and said, "All the insect arts are here. The Wizard King won't think it's so important. I will give it all to you."
"Although I don't know witchcraft, I am proficient in medicine. I want to participate in the creation of the Bingshenguatan."
Chi Li said: "Of course."
······
"... So far, Li Xiangxian and the Witch King have successfully created the Altar of the God of War, assembled an army of 500 soldiers, used it as the vanguard, and in the name of revenge, attacked the snowy plains, defeated Tuyuhun, and defeated the Tubo pursuers, capturing a large number of prisoners."
"Li Xiang turned them all into the Bingshen Monster Altar, successfully formed the Bingshen Corps, occupied the Southern Han Kingdom, and proclaimed himself the King of Qiong."
The magnificent story made Duan Chengtian's mouth dry, but Miao Chengtian next to him had the foresight to offer him some wine.
Li Xingyun shook his head to get rid of the shock, and then said sarcastically: "The bad guys are really amazing. They even know about the conversation between Li Xiang and my master in Twelve Caves."
Duan Chengtian said normally: "Of course, after all, it was Prince Qiong who told the Marshal himself."
"..."
Li Xingyun shook his head: "Li Xiang has already occupied the Southern Han Kingdom and is attacking the Chu Kingdom. The situation is very good and there is hope for the restoration of the country. Why does the Marshal need you, Uncle Duan, to come to me again?"
Duan Chengtian imitated the commander-in-chief and said, "It is because Li Xiang's army is too powerful and he has great righteousness that he has caused fear among the kings. In the near future, someone will come to find Your Highness and nominate Your Highness as the leader to fight against Li Xiang."
"The Marshal knew that Your Highness would agree in the end, so he asked me to give Your Highness something."
"what?"
"It involves the Longquan treasure box that contains the secret of Longquan."
Chapter 409 Leaving the Valley
"General, news has come from Tiansu Star that Li Xingyun has left Qingcheng and is heading to Chu with the people from Huanyinfang."
Hu Xiuwu sat in Yuan Tiangang's seat, playing with Yuan Tiangang's divination plate, reading "Yi Si Zhan" written by Li Chunfeng, Yuan Tiangang's only best friend in his life, and listening to the news sent by Yuan Tiangang's men.
"I see. His Highness is still the same as before, too indecisive. It would be better to let him see what war is like with his own eyes, so that he won't have some unrealistic fantasies."
Hu Xiuwu was flipping through "Yi Si Zhan". He was very interested in this book of divination, which was different from the divination method in the world of the living that used inner vision to directly get the answer.
The divination method in the world of The Bad Kids can only obtain maxims, and how to interpret it depends entirely on one's own understanding. That is why Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng have two different interpretations for the same hexagram.
However, this method is not without advantages. If you rely on inner vision to spy on the secrets of heaven, you will be locked out by the way of heaven and will not be allowed to tell others the answers you have seen. However, the content obtained by this divination can be told to others at will, and even discussed with others.
At the same time, Yi Si Zhan also records a lot about Feng Shui and weather.
Li Chunfeng is a Feng Shui master who will be remembered throughout the ages. His interpretation of Feng Shui benefited Hu Xiuwu a lot and gave him a new understanding of Feng Shui.
Hu Xiuwu's attainments in Feng Shui determine his level of use of the Disha Order.
So after sending someone to retrieve the book from the unnamed island in the original novel, Hu Xiuwu did not give it to Li Xingyun for the time being, but instead studied it himself for a few days.
"How is the battle in Chu?"
Sanqianyuan replied: "The Chu army has lost most of the country. The left prime minister of the King of Chu has some tricks. He saw that the Bingshen Monster Altar was too rigid in its manipulation, so he set a trap, took advantage of the swamp, buried gunpowder, and blew up many Bingshen. He temporarily saved the capital, but the war situation is still not optimistic."
"The King of Chu has asked for help from the State of Jin and the Pseudo-Liang. The letter states that the King of Qiong has the ambition to call the Nine Gaos. When you look from afar, you can see clouds of five colors following him."
Hu Xiuwu chuckled: "It's an open conspiracy."
The two points mentioned in the letter were just to remind Zhu Wen that he has the aura of a king. If you take over his property, will he let you go?
Although Jin Wang Li Keyong always used the banner of the Tang Dynasty and claimed to be an old minister of the Tang Dynasty, he was dissatisfied with Zhu Wen's rule of the Liang Dynasty.
But everyone knew that what he was dissatisfied with was that he was not in that position.
Li Xingyun was right. If they were truly the so-called loyal ministers they claimed to be, they should have returned the political and military power to Emperor Zhaozong long before he was assassinated by Zhu Wen.
Instead of using loyalty to the Tang Dynasty as an excuse to establish a separatist regime after Zhaozong's death.
Sanqianyuan said: "In addition, there are some strange things. Chu has lost most of its territory, but the central government can still handle state affairs in an orderly manner. Even local officials and generals are surprisingly loyal for some reason, but there is still not a single official who surrenders to King Qiong. This is not normal."
There are many loyal and righteous people, but it is impossible for all officials of the Chu State to be such.
If the whole country of Chu was composed of righteous men and united, it would have long replaced the Later Liang Dynasty, cleared the world and unified the country.
Hu Xiuwu's tone remained calm: "Extraordinary power must be countered with extraordinary power."
Sanqianyuan understood: "What the commander means is that the King of Chu used some means to suppress his subordinates. To be able to control people on such a large scale, ordinary skills cannot do it. Did he poison them?"
"Is it the mysterious man who appeared next to Gong Qing, the left prime minister of the Chu State?"
Hu Xiuwu said: "Gong Qing is a smart man. He would not bring a useless person here for no reason at this critical moment."
Hu Xiuwu had been ordering the Bad People to keep an eye on the war situation in the State of Chu. When a new face appeared next to Gong Qing, the Bad People immediately sent the portrait back to the Cangbing Valley.
The Bad Guy didn't recognize him, but Hu Xiuwu did.
He is Xiao Su, a paper man wizard who likes to watch anime. Xiao Su is good at using paper men to curse others. With paper men as a connection, he can curse others remotely.
During the Han Wu period, witchcraft was once popular.
He helped Li Xiang to cheat, so Gong Qing did the same, using Xiao Su's paper figurine curse technique to control the officials of the Chu State.
However, the art of killing by curse is not omnipotent. It is very laborious to prepare paper figurines, and the energy consumed is almost the same as that of transforming objects. Moreover, the eight characters and Qi of the person being cursed are also needed as materials.
Eight characters are hard to come by. After all, even the files of the household registration department are not completely accurate. There may be omissions in the time and date, and the older the files, the more serious the problem.
Qi is even more difficult to obtain. The Qi of ordinary people is loose and volatile, and can be easily obtained.
However, acquired extraordinary people have obtained Qi through cultivation, and have a certain control over their own Qi. They will not let Qi leak out easily and be captured by others.
No wonder Xiao Su hasn't shown up for a long time. It seems that Gong Qing had asked him to secretly refine the paper figures of the Chu officials and generals. If Li Xiang hadn't appeared out of nowhere, he would most likely kick Ma Xiyue away and proclaim himself king after the paper figures of the Chu officials and generals were refined to satisfy his own pleasure.
He was even more radical than his own ancestor, the black-robed prime minister Yao Guangxiao.
Not all Quan Xing are under Hu Xiuwu's surveillance, because not all Quan Xing are worthy of attention. Many Quan Xing just desire unfettered freedom and a superior status. They are not strong, nor crazy.
Quan Xing, who longed for power and enjoyment, almost all stayed in the world of Tomb Raiders Notes. Quan Xing, who came here with Gong Qing, all had other pursuits.
But the goal may be ambitious, but we have not gone very far.
All high school students have the dream of studying at Peking University or Tsinghua University. And every entrepreneur doesn’t want to become the next Ma or R&F University. Unfortunately, their own abilities and qualifications limit them, and many of them cannot create much sparks.
In the original world, one could still use the excuse that one was born at the wrong time, but in the world of the Bad Guys, there was no excuse anymore. Just like when Quan Xing was causing trouble in Longhu Mountain, no matter how loud they shouted, many people who had joined Quan Xing for many years could not beat Zhang Chulan, who had probably practiced for less than five years.
rustle,
The beams shook off the dust, and the chess pieces on the stars on the divination board kept jumping.
Hu Xiuwu twisted a jade chess piece that symbolized the stars, unmoved.
A Bad Man hurried to the Soldier Storage Pavilion, knelt on one knee, and reported to the Bad Commander: "General, the earth dragon just turned over, cracks appeared at the bottom of the valley, and lava has invaded the hot spring pool."
Hu Xiuwu murmured: "When the sky is murderous, the stars will move; when the earth is murderous, dragons and snakes will rise from the land; when people are murderous, heaven and earth will turn upside down."
"Now that the fire dragon has grown, how can it be willing to be trapped in the valley? Send the order to bury gunpowder on the north side of the Soldier Valley. The next time the earth dragon turns over, use the gunpowder and the power of heaven to break open the mountain wall."
"Yes."
The Cangbing Valley is located in the Zhongnan Mountains, facing Chang'an to the north. By breaking open the valley, a fire dragon can be sent into the sacred capital of Chang'an, adding luck to Li Xingyun and Li Xiang.
After closing the book, Hu Xiuwu once again pretended to be the cold-blooded and merciless leader and gave a decisive order:
"Three Thousand Courtyards, transfer the information, abandon the Cangbing Valley, and transfer the bad people in the valley to the headquarters."
"Let Shi Yao and Jing Xin Mo, who are lurking in Xuanming Sect and Jin State, put their plans on hold for the time being and let the people from Xuanming Sect and Jin State go to Chu State."
Sanqianyuan accepted the order solemnly: "Yes."
The bad guys just follow orders without asking why.
"Also, tell Shangguan Yunque that if he wants to find Xingyun, he can go by himself."
Having spent enough time here, Hu Xiuwu is going to harvest the fruits.
Chapter 410 Longquan Treasure Box
"Now, the eleven cities in the southwest of Chu have all been taken over by King Qiong. Today, Quanzhou, Yongzhou, and Dunzhou have all been taken over by King Qiong."
"As a result, you are still here shirking responsibility and making excuses about who is the main force and who is the vanguard. And you, Zhu Youwen, are really crazy. You actually want the Chu State to cede land now. Fine, I will ask the King of Chu to give Wuzhou City to him, okay?!"
In the Chu King's Palace in Changsha Prefecture, the capital of the Chu State, Li Xingyun stood on the main seat, pointing at the generals and princes on both sides and cursing loudly, he was extremely angry at these so-called allies.
It's already this late, and everyone is still clamoring about who has suffered the least. These people openly said they were here to help the King of Chu, and they were shouting the slogan "King Qiong is cruel".
But when it came to the actual battlefield, no one was willing to join the front line. They all kept their eyes on others, fearing that they would suffer a loss. Then when the State of Chu replenished its food and grass, everyone cheered for it.
Especially the commander of the Liang Dynasty, Zhu Youwen, who led the troops this time, was handsome and had a red beard as thin as needles. However, he was timid when he spoke, as he was worried that Li Xingyun would vent his anger on him because of Zhu Wen.
If it were only for this group of so-called princes, Li Xingyun would not be willing to be the unworthy leader of the Anti-Qiong Alliance.
Li Xingyun was willing to be the leader purely for the sake of the people of Chu. When he stepped into Chu, all he saw were bitter tears.
Li Xiang has a cold heart and does all kinds of evil things. He is not a kind person. Li Xiang never wants to take any prisoners alive. All the prisoners were transformed into the God of War.
After all, these prisoners have average combat capabilities, and if they are left behind, there will be concerns about whether there are spies among them.
It would be easier to refine them all into the God of War and Monster Altar.
In order to continue playing, Gong Qing was also warlike and aggressive. He recruited soldiers on a large scale in Chu, and almost all the male members of the families in Chu were captured.
Every family has someone going to the war, and there is no smile in the whole land of Chu.
That is to say, Gong Qing has already controlled all the middle and upper level officials in Chu. In addition, the God of War looks like a zombie, and no news has been heard from the places occupied by Li Xiang. Gong Qing has guided public opinion to believe that demons are causing chaos in the world.
I'm afraid the people in Chu have already been in turmoil.
Gong Qing and Li Xiang treated the people under their command as pawns, but Li Xingyun, a kind-hearted doctor, could not bear to see this. When he saw a boy picking up wheat grains from the mud and holding them preciously in his hands, his heart was touched and he remembered his past self.
He tried to stop the fighting between the two sides, but unfortunately, no one listened to him.
Li Xiang only wanted to defeat him and replace him in Yuan Tiangang's mind. He had already led his army. The kings gathered in Chu, and now the people in the Chu Palace have promoted him to the position of the leader of the kings. On the one hand, he has a righteous reputation, and on the other hand, he hopes to defeat Li Xiang with the help of the power of the ghost soldiers.
I guess there are people secretly cursing in their hearts that the two of them will die together.
After all, Li Xingyun had repeatedly reprimanded the kings and ordered them to try not to disturb the people of Changsha Prefecture, which had long caused dissatisfaction among the kings.
