This gathering of war fortunes was an outbreak corresponding to Huo Qubing's level of cultivation.
This kind of luck did not simply come from his gains in the Parthian battle.
Rather, it was the sum of his luck that he had cultivated in the past few years of fighting. At this moment, it blended together like a great tide, coming from somewhere, integrating into his body, and promoting his strength to increase.
As time went by, Huo Qubing breathed out and pulled Qi from all directions.
The power circulates in the body.
His military palace merged with the void and began to absorb the remaining energy of the Silver Temple.
Divine symbols were peeled off one after another on the four walls of the temple.
Including the statues of gods in the temple, they disappeared little by little like weathering.
The entire temple, the murals carved on the four walls, the incantations, the star map on the top wall, and the special space hidden in the hole below the altar were all gradually annexed by the divine palace.
The inside of his divine palace was like the beginning of chaos, filled with luck, and interacting with the outside world.
The light of Wuqu Star in the sky pours out like the Milky Way, connecting the surrounding stars together, vaguely like a huge military formation.
In the formation diagram, there are Suzaku, Xuanwu, White Tiger, and Green Dragon guarding the four sides.
The middle is like a giant egg, nurturing a supreme military edge.
This vision is reflected on the dome, becoming more and more obvious and visible to the whole world.
Rome.
The high priest of the Senate held the book of divine favors in his hand and looked at the stars.
He looked at it without saying a word for a long time, then suddenly shouted: "Here comes someone."
"High Priest."
A young man with long blond curly hair walked in from the door.
He is tall and tall, wearing a reddish-brown Roman priest's robe, and his face is as handsome as the sun god in the sculpture.
The high priest stared at the dome: "I don't know how many past victories it takes to accumulate such an amazing atmosphere, so that the stars in the sky are also driven by his practice!"
"Similar weather has only appeared four times in our land favored by God, and they have all been recorded in the Book of God's favor."
"The oldest one is when the gods were alive, and the most recent one is when Alexander became a god (half-holy)."
"That commander from the east may be a god of war comparable to Alexander. He is a powerful opponent we have never encountered before."
The high priest looked at the young man: "You have the most noble bloodline in the world and are blessed by the gods. Go ahead and guide our warriors on the front line and guide them to victory."
The young man lowered his head and said, "The high priest wants me to assassinate the Eastern commander?"
"No, although one of your abilities is that of a divine assassin with special powers, I don't think you are a match for the Eastern Commander."
The high priest said: "You will know when the time comes. The arrival of the Eastern Legion has made many things reveal their hidden tracks."
"The commander of the legion from the east, his war aura is rising. At least for now, you can't match him.
Your target is Seleu.
Capture Seleu and open the way eastward. "
"As for the Eastern Commander, he has many enemies. Someone will stop him without us taking action."
The high priest's voice was old and slow: "God said that all those who are enemies of him will gather together and become one force...
And his attempt is destined to fail. Even God does not want another war god to appear in the East to compete with him for the luck of war in this world. "
The high priest walked slowly toward the temple: "Go ahead."
The young man agreed, bowed, and retreated calmly.
…
Ctesiphon, the Silver Temple has disappeared.
In the sky, dragons roar and tigers roar.
And in Huo Qubing's sea of consciousness, the aura of chaos was violently surging around the weapon talisman that he had evolved using the Five Dragons of Shengshen Technique.
A green dragon loomed in the chaos.
Suddenly, the dragon's roar shook the soul, and a dragon head poked out from the chaos. The dragon's eyes opened and closed, showing great majesty.
The fourth weapon talisman, Qinglong, appears in form!
After practicing, an ordinary military strategist can create a tiger-shaped military talisman, and he can be called a famous general.
Huo Qubing successively derived six military symbols corresponding to the four elephants, the divine bear, and the spirit beast. The required war luck was originally an impossible and daunting task.
But after nearly four years and countless battles, Huo Qubing finally reached the final step.
Once the five dragons of the Shengshen Law are all gathered together, his seven Yin Fu skills of this classic will be perfect and flawless, entering the stage of great achievement.
At this moment, the Han army in Parthia seemed to hear the deafening roar of dragons, roars of tigers and phoenixes.
Huo Qubing's military movement is closely connected with the entire army.
He continues to accumulate luck and prepares to let the fifth blue dragon break the bond.
But then there was a loud thunder in the sky.
Countless lightnings crisscrossed each other, flashing and extinguishing like tree roots, destroying the vision of the military formation where the stars were connected, and disrupting the process of Huo Qubing's interaction with heaven and earth.
Half a quarter of an hour later, he opened his eyes in the temple, his eyes bright.
The vision in the night sky is dissipating.
"You can continue practicing."
A voice sounded in the void, it was a shadow: "I'm here to protect you from being disturbed."
Huo Qubing shook his head slightly: "Perhaps I am a little eager for quick success. As soon as the war ended, I was eager to attack the Half Saint."
"There was an invisible force just now that was preventing you from practicing." Shadow said.
"Well, this is not a Han Dynasty. The surrounding countries and people regard us as invaders. The power of one people is weak, but the will of all people will form a huge resistance that connects the heaven and the earth. It is very mysterious."
Huo Qubing stood up and said: "It doesn't matter, I'll make some preparations and I will hit the semi-saint realm again. If it doesn't work next time, try again."
He walked out of the disappeared Silver Temple area and saw the main hall of the palace ahead, still brightly lit.
The Han army's soldiers and horses in Parthia, even if the chieftain King Tu and others from the rear led all the troops to press forward, were only 70,000 people. To control the huge Parthian territory, there were too many places to take care of.
Seventy thousand soldiers and horses are stretched thin.
As deputy commander-in-chief, Gongsun He and Su Jian did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
When Huo Qubing was practicing, the two of them had discussed it and took turns handling everything. They wanted to open one eye while sleeping.
Even late at night, there are still all kinds of news gathered from all over Parthia.
The Parthians were beaten to pieces by the Han army, but the Han army killed a large number of prisoners and rarely surrendered, so there were always people in various places who persisted in resisting.
Because if you don’t resist, you will die.
Local confrontations in various places have never stopped.
Sometimes there are four or five waves of text messages sent within a quarter of an hour, waiting to be processed, and they are all important.
At this time, the overall situation in Parthia was decided, but local fighting continued.
Even Gongsun Hong was busy in the main hall, always watching the changes in all directions.
Just one misjudgment could lead to the death of thousands of Han troops due to wrong decisions.
Huo Qubing finished his practice and came to the main hall. Su Jian was overjoyed and gave up the command as if seeing a savior.
Several other generals in the palace were also full of joy.
"Da Sima, before your training, you ordered us to mobilize troops to the west to be ready to deal with Rome at any time. We have made arrangements as instructed."
"But the situation has undergone some unexpected changes. When the news of Ctesiphon's capture spread, all parties in Parthia took action upon hearing the news, and soldiers and horses from all over the place were resisting or... fleeing."
Su Jian's words were as sharp as ever:
"They don't dare to fight us head-on, they mostly flee and break out.
At present, almost all the Parthian soldiers are moving to the southern mountains, trying to hide in the mountains and avoid our strangulation based on the terrain. "
Within the territory of Parthia, the rich areas revolve around the two river basins, while the north and south are relatively barren.
In particular, the south is mostly mountainous, with complex terrain, difficult access, and limited products. Most of the cities are built along the mountains, making them easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Huo Qubing sat down at the main table. Su Jian personally brought the topographic map of Parthia over and said:
"If you add the information collected from various places, the deserters, and the defeated troops, the total number is still over 100,000."
“If these soldiers and horses are allowed to flee into the southern mountains, it will definitely be a hidden danger.
We are deploying troops to intercept these defeated troops and prevent them from escaping into the southern mountains. "
Huo Qubing asked: "Who suggested stopping these Parthian troops?"
Gongsun He, Su Jian, who had just gotten up from their sleep, and several generals involved in the decision-making in the palace responded at the same time: "Everyone's consensus.
The Parthian army has been defeated, and we should do our best to intercept and pursue them, lest they flee into the mountains and readjust, which would cause us trouble in the future. "
Huo Qubing wrote and marked four cities on the march map:
“Don’t stop them, let them go to the southern mountains.
Parthia is short of food, and the southern mountains are barren. More than 100,000 defeated troops poured in at once, and food and wages became a big problem every day.
These defeated troops will conflict with the local forces and officials who already exist in the southern mountainous area. Because resources are limited and fixed, they used to squeeze other people's resources if they wanted to survive. "
“Currently, Parthia is leaderless, and many of its leaders, commanders, and generals have been beheaded by us.
Someone among the defeated troops must have the idea of taking the opportunity to integrate all the people and become the leader. They compete with the local forces in southern Parthia, which will cause internal strife. "
"When they have relatively unified leadership, they must first solve the food problem and boost morale. The best way is to come out from the southern mountainous area to obtain survival resources."
Huo Qubing pointed to the four locations marked just now:
"These four cities are close to the south, and the geographical location is suitable. We can wait here and wait for them to take the initiative to come.
However, the defeated troops fled to the south like a frightened bird, and it would take at least two or three months to complete the internal struggle and integration.
Before that, not only did we not have to intercept and kill them, we could also add fuel to the flames and drive them toward the southern mountainous area, increasing their hidden dangers and the speed at which conflicts would break out. Lock them in the south first to make space and time for our limited troops to deal with the war situation in the west first.
Wait for our follow-up troops to arrive immediately, and after two or three months, we can calmly deal with these broken troops.
At this stage, running around following the defeated troops is thankless and a waste of time and energy. Why do you do this? "
The palace was very quiet.
Su Jian and Gongsun He looked at each other: "Da Sima has a clear insight. It was our fault."
Gongsun Hong smiled and narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself: Da Sima didn't come just now. The big guy's analysis was clear and logical, but he was talking about things in the battle situation, how to intercept, save troops, and maintain the advantage. I heard it and thought it was right. That's right.
He changed as soon as he came.
Everyone was looking at the battle situation in front of them, but he seemed to be looking at the overall strategy... Gongsun Hong got up and patted his butt, but I was so sleepy that since Huo Hou was here, I felt relieved and went to sleep.
The old man went to the backyard, found a room, and fell asleep.
When he woke up, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
Gongsun Hong simply washed up and walked forward smelling the fragrance, but he saw Bai Nanyu just walking into the main hall carrying a small pot filled with delicious fragrance.
Huo Qubing dealt with military affairs all night and never left the main hall. Bai Nanyu went to get some delicious food and brought it over.
The old man came to the door of the main hall, but he didn't rush in. He peeked in secretly from outside the door.
The beautiful Bai family woman was serving Huo Qubing white porridge cooked with fresh water from the Tigris River.
She brought porridge and rice from Chang'an using military slips made out of thin air.
While Huo Qubing was drinking porridge, she helped organize the files.
Gongsun Hong wanted to give the two of them some time alone, and walked in after a while: "You should leave some porridge for me."
On this day in Parthia, the war situation was chaotic, but the overall situation was gradually becoming stable.
It's night again and the stars are twinkling.
Huo Qubing once again entered a state of cultivation.
When he closed his eyes, his consciousness sank into the sea of consciousness, the air in the night sky changed, and the heaven and earth interacted.
The huge bronze pillar that represented heaven and earth, which had not appeared for some time, actually appeared again.
The bronze pillar that appeared this time corresponded to the south direction. It was very illusory. It swirled in the sky for a moment and then suddenly collapsed.
When the Huns were defeated before, a bronze column corresponding to the north direction collapsed.
The current one corresponds to the body poison south of the Han Dynasty.
Brahmanism, which advocates divine authority and is governed by emptiness samadhi, has replaced Buddhism.
For more than half a year, Brahmanism has been annexing the remnants of Buddhism and integrating the various countries.
Up to this moment, they have completed the integration of the remnants of Buddhism. At the level of belief, they have 'unified' the body and poison, and Brahmanism is the dominant family.
Therefore, the bronze pillar corresponding to the south of Shenzhou, which completely defeated the body poison with the force of soldiers, has only really dissipated now.
Huo Qubing felt something in the afternoon and started practicing.
Just like last time, when the bronze pillar collapsed and disappeared, it turned into many symbols, which were drawn and absorbed by the ancient well in his consciousness.
As a result of his cultivation, the strength within his body increased. After approaching the limit of heaven and man, it continued to grow upwards, reaching the point of becoming a semi-saint!
In the second half of the night, Huo Qubing's consciousness was filled with dragon roars.
The last green dragon of the Five Dragons Talisman finally separated from the chaos and poked out its head.
Ps: I just checked the background. It has been on the shelves for more than half a year. There are still nearly 230,000 updates this month. Is it stable?
Please vote, thank you
