Human nature is the most difficult thing to understand. No matter how powerful a writer you are, you will never fully understand human nature. A humble life like a bug may burst out as powerful as a Tyrannosaurus rex in order to survive. , and an extremely arrogant person, in order to survive, they can live like maggots, and two people with hatred, when necessary, can become friends, even closer than the best friends, and Friends, in the face of interests, sometimes they are the first person to stab you.
Zhao Hai has never believed in human nature, and he has never regarded hatred as the only thing he can use. That is impossible. In the face of huge interests, sometimes hatred really means nothing.
The people here in the secret realm hate the Holy Court, but this hatred is based on one basis, that is, the Holy Court does not let them go home and keeps them fighting for them here in the secret realm. These are the people of the Anti-Sacred Court Alliance who hate the Holy Court. hospital reasons.
But sometimes this kind of hatred is really easy to resolve. For example, the Holy Court allows them to go home. Not only does it let them go home, it also provides support to their family, so that an ordinary family can become the lord of a city in a short time. So will those people still hate them?
People who can enter the secret realm usually have a family behind them. Some of these families are big, some are small. It is difficult for people with truly miserable backgrounds and no background to enter the holy courtyard, let alone enter the secret realm. , because those people with a bitter background have no worries. In other words, it is not easy for the Holy Court to control them.
As for a person who has a family, then this person will generally put the interests of the family first. They have received this kind of education from the moment they were born. For the interests of the family, they can sacrifice themselves for the interests of the family. interests, they can give up their hatred. Even become friends with your enemies and become your closest partners.
The same goes for the people in the secret realm. If the Holy Court can really support them, then they may really give up their hatred of the Holy Court. By that time, Zhao Hai and the others will be at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, and there must be more Duanhe-level masters in the Holy Academy than there are in Zhao Hai's hands. In this case. How could Zhao Hai fall out with the Holy Court now? It's impossible, he doesn't have that kind of strength yet.
However, Zhao Hai's current arrangements are also very good. At least they now have nearly two thousand people, and these people should be loyal to him, because their families are now in the city-state. In other words, Their families are now under Zhao Hai's control.
Of course Zhao Hai will not control their families like the Holy Court, but if necessary. The families of those people can also become chess pieces in Zhao Hai's hands.
Zhao Hai is not a kind person. He has walked through so many interfaces and slaughtered so many interfaces. He has encountered all kinds of things. Killing people is really not a big deal to him. The reason why he doesn’t want to He killed so many people just because he didn't want to do other things. There is no way to restrain him.
This time Zhao Hai returned to the city-state, but he did not do anything, because his arrangements had been completed before, and now it depends on how they leave in Nian Yijiu. If Nian Yijiu and the others are really as he thought, then what he has to do is simple, just follow his plan step by step. He has even completed this plan, and what he really needs to command has already been completed. Very few anymore.
This time Zhao Hai came back mainly to see how Shi Zhui and the others were doing. At the same time, he also planned to let some of the subordinates he had collected in the city-state go to the secret realm to practice for a period of time.
The training environment in the Secret Realm is indeed much better than that in the Spiritual Weapon World. The Wu Kong-level masters here in the ** city-state are all Zhao Hai's slaves. They are the most loyal to Zhao Hai. The reason is that he only trains those in the secret realm, but does not train his subordinates with all his heart. Isn't that stupid behavior? So Zhao Hai wants to send some people into the secret realm to practice and see if they have a chance to break the river level.
To be honest, after staying in the world of cultivation for a long time and seeing the people here in the spirit world working hard to become Duanhe level masters, Zhao Hai sometimes felt like he couldn't laugh or cry, because The Duanhe level masters here in the Soul World are really nothing if taken outside. Breaking through from Wukong level to Duanhe level does not require so much effort in the outside world. Maybe an ordinary pill. It can be done, but here in the soul world, it has become more difficult than climbing to the sky. This makes Zhao Hai dumbfounded.
Zhao Hai believes that with the resources he has now, he can bring more Duanhe-level masters to the city-state in a short period of time, because these Duanhe-level masters are here in the soul world or the spiritual weapon world. It may seem very mysterious, but in Zhao Hai's eyes, it is nothing.
Now Zhao Hai is dealing with these things, because there is a characteristic here in ** City State. Those Wu Kong-level masters are not city lords, but they also work in important positions in ** City State. If you want to transfer them for training, it is not the same. It's an easy thing, they need to arrange their work well.
The outside world will not know what is happening here in **City-State. Even among the people in **City-State, not many people know about it, because **City-State is relatively too independent. Other city-states rarely find out about the affairs of **City-State, because it is almost impossible for them to arrange spies in **City-State.
** City-state will not attract people's attention here, but what really attracts people's attention is Yalong City. On the 19th of the year, the army has been assembled and ready to go at any time.
Naturally, it was impossible to hide Nian Yijiu's actions from the Holy Court, and the Holy Court had already known that they were going to attack Nanhua City-State, so the Holy Court was now ready.
After the army of Nian Yijiu was assembled, they were waiting for various supplies. However, in this matter, the city-states did not make it difficult for Nian Yijiu. After all, the amount of things each city-state should take has already been fixed. Any quarrels will arise.
In Nian 19th, I discovered that maybe the previous regulations were not such a bad thing. Now, people in various city-states can take out things so happily, not because of the proportional share. If there is no such proportional share, just let everyone The city-states took out these things. I'm afraid I don't know how long the quarrel will last.
The army is ready, the Duanhe level masters who are with him are also ready, the supplies are also ready, everything is ready. All that's left is to wait for the troops to be dispatched.
Finally, on the 19th of the year, it was decided to officially send out troops to worship heaven on the seventh day of August in the 12372nd year of the New Spiritual Army. In the spirit weapon world, the calendar originally used by people was the Heavenly Sword Calendar, because it was during the reign of the Heavenly Sword Empire. So people used the Heavenly Sword Calendar, but now they use the Spiritual Soldier New Calendar. This Spiritual Soldier New Calendar was only started to be used after the fall of the Heavenly Sword Empire. It has been used for more than 10,000 years now. .
The reason why Nian Yijiu held this ceremony to offer sacrifices to heaven was because he wanted to tell the people of the world that what they were doing was righteous, and they had to grasp righteousness first.
The ritual of offering sacrifices to heaven has been passed down since the days of the Heavenly Sword Empire. The king has to perform sacrifices to heaven every day. According to legend, the Heavenly Sword Empire's sacrifice to heaven at that time was different from now. At that time, the Heavenly Sword Empire's sacrifice to heaven could really communicate with heaven, and sometimes even receive blessings from heaven. The will, and now offering sacrifices to heaven is just a formality, although every day, the city lords of some city-states will perform sacrifices to heaven. It's just a formality.
This time, the place where he worshiped the heaven on the 19th of the year was not at the heaven worship platform in Yalong City, but on a high mountain outside Yalong City, where he performed the sacrifice to the heaven in the high school. On the 19th of the year, he led the leading generals of all the city-states to the mountain. A sacrificial platform had been built on the mountain, and then they began to worship. At the same time, someone recited the sacrificial inscriptions, which roughly meant it. It just means that we people have been oppressed by the Holy Court for many years. Today we are no longer oppressed by them. We must resist and overthrow the oppression of the Holy Court. I hope to receive blessings from God and wish us victory this time. .
Anyway, that's what worshiping the heavens is all about. The routine of worshiping the heavens every time is the same, and this time on the 19th of the year is no exception. But what a coincidence, just when they started to worship the heavens on the 19th of the year, a sudden rain fell from the mountain. It started raining, and lightning flashed and thundered at the same time. After reading the memorial text, the rain stopped, the wind subsided, and the sky cleared up. This time, it started to tremble on New Year's Day. In his opinion, this was God's recognition of him, and he was Being ordered by God, he even spoke a lot louder.
Others also murmured in their hearts, could it be that God really blessed the New Year with a failure? Otherwise, why would this happen? Only Shi Chui disagreed. To him, this really didn't matter. In his heart, there was only one god, and that was Zhao Hai. All other gods had to stand aside.
After the sacrifice to heaven was completed, the army set out. The number of the entire army was nearly over 500,000. This action really felt a bit overwhelming. Looking at the retreating army, Nian Yijiu really felt a little complacent.
Before the army took action, the distribution had been made on Nian Yijiu. As expected, Shi Zhui and the others were appointed as the vanguard, consisting of ** City State, Stone Niu City State, Luming City State, Blood Knife City State, Tiger Roar City State and Galloping Horse. City-states, nearly a hundred thousand troops composed of several city-states, were appointed as vanguards, which was expected by everyone.
The vanguard army is definitely the most dangerous existence in the entire army. The vanguard army not only has to do a good job of opening roads through mountains and building bridges when encountering water, but it is also the first army to come into contact with the enemy and the first to fight the enemy. Therefore, the vanguard army is The most dangerous. When a general army goes on an expedition, the vanguard army must be elite, because the vanguard army must not only fight the enemy, but also defeat it. Only victory will not affect the morale of the army, so the general vanguard generals are brave generals.
The army moved forward slowly. Shi Zhui sat on a horse with a calm expression. Generals from several other city states were beside him. The army was just moving forward now and had not left Yalong City State. It was absolutely safe here. , they can also get together to chat and discuss how to prepare for the next war.
The leading general of the Stone Niu City State looked ahead and said in a deep voice: "Damn, Nian Yijiu, this grandson, I think he deliberately asked us to be the vanguard, and we had to give him his first order. To save face, I really want to curse people.”
The expressions on the other people's faces were not very good either. Shi Chui glanced at them, smiled slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Actually, this is what I expected. We can actually object to the first order on the 19th of the year. Why give him face? He won't give us money, but there is no need. Nanhua City State is now on the defensive. In other words, we will not encounter any attacks along the way. It is very safe. We All we have to do is to build a road. After all, this road doesn’t need to be built. We are taking the official road of Yalong City State, so there is no need to build any road at all. When we get to Nanhua City State, we will It’s time to set up camp. Nian Yijiu didn’t say that we must attack. To be honest, even if we want to attack then, Nian Yijiu may not agree. He is also afraid that we will capture the city of Nanhua City-State. , by then we will not only have merit, but also get a lot of benefits. How can Nian Yijiu agree? So I think Nian Yijiu is going to let us do some dirty work now, but when it comes to the actual war, They won't let us go in, and since we only do these tasks, the credit will naturally be small. If they really conquer the city, then we will get the least."
Hearing what Shi Chui said, several people couldn't help but be stunned, and then their expressions changed. The leading general of Luming City State said solemnly: "What should we do? Then if we come out this time, won't we waste money and food in vain? "They are all leaders of the army. Naturally, they know very well that when a large army goes out for battle, even if there is no battle, the amount of food and fodder required is very staggering. Everyone wants to make great contributions in the war and then get some good things. In this way It can make up for the loss in food and grass. If they are not allowed to fight during the war in Nian Yijiu, then they will have no chance to make meritorious service. Then their expedition this time will really only waste food and grass, and they will not benefit at all. Nothing can be obtained.
Shi Chui smiled and said: "What's so great about this? We have a lot of food and grass and can afford to consume it. Do you really think that this war is so bellicose? Don't worry, they want to take over the city-state of Nanhua on New Year's Day. It’s not that easy. The Holy Court may have known Nian Yijiu’s offensive intention for a long time. If Nian Yijiu goes up this time, he will only hit the iron plate.”
When the people around him heard what Shi Chui said, they all cheered up. The leading general of Tiger Roar City State said solemnly: "If Nian Yijiu loses, then he will most likely let us go to war in order to consume our strength. , what should we do by then?”
Shi Chui smiled and said: "If he asks us to go to war, are we going to go to war? Have you forgotten that if the five city lords object, his order will be invalid? Hahaha, we can go to war when the time comes, but we won't We will fight according to the requirements of Nian 19. How we fight and where we fight are all up to us." (To be continued.)
