It has to be said that the theory stated by Song Que is indeed in line with Zhao Qing's strategy of recruiting and surrendering the captured Sui troops first, in order to let Wang Shichong play his role. However, he overestimated the extent to which this person would be difficult to replace, because he was unable to conquer the strong city. In terms of strength, she alone is worth countless soldiers and horses.
It may be difficult to knock down a thick city wall, but a mere city gate can be forcibly broken open in a short time even if it is equipped with thousands of crossbow arrows that would make it difficult for ten grand masters to confront it head-on. If more methods are used, no matter how many troops there are, it will not be enough for Zhao Qing to kill him alone.
In about a month, due to the need to try to cultivate from yin to yang and the limitation of transformation time, she has not yet returned to the realm of Wuji, but it can be said that the level of "unity of heaven and man" has been achieved long ago.
The "unity of heaven and man" or the "boundary of heaven and man" includes the infinite yin and yang with "true water of taiyin" and "true fire of the sun". However, even though the transformation of true energy has not been achieved, it is only further integrated with heaven and earth. It also belongs to this realm, similar to the original Xiaoyaozi.
In the records of "Jing Nian Zen Shu" and "Cihang Sword Code", these two realms of equivalent levels are both called "innate Wuji", but one is the false innate Wuji of the acquired universe, and the other is the innate universe. True innateness is infinite, and the objects of "refining the void" can be divided into superior and inferior ones.
Like the "evil spirit" Li Ruohai in "The Rain and the Clouds", the empress Wu Zhao in the Tang Dynasty Trilogy, who has not yet practiced Yin and Yang Wuji, is roughly in the realm of fake innate Wuji.
Of course, in Zhao Qing's hands, even the "fake innate Wuji" can exert no less strength than the "true innate" who has only cultivated a single Wuji, and is enough to compete with a quasi-shattered person with a double Wuji High or low.
In fact, in the previous sparring session with Song Que, she had only used 20 to 30% of her strength to test the actual combat effect of the "Star Sword Embryo", and to temper it to a certain extent, accelerating the transformation of "Kaifeng" .
The cultivation of demon seeds in "The Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique" theoretically requires self-mutilation, torture, and even extremely violent death to stimulate and induce the demon seeds and combine them with the human body. The principles of the "sharpening sword" used by Zhao Qing are quite similar to Zhao Qing's. They are all methods to speed up the birth of "Wuji".
In addition to Qi refining cultivation, Zhao Qing's strength cultivation has also reached the peak of the second level of Gang Jin, and his body has reached the standard of Shen Jin. Although it is slightly behind the "Innate Wuji" realm, But the bonus should not be underestimated.
With her current cultivation level and the unique skills she created, she could deal with a naval force of nearly 10,000 people. She used "Everything Returns to Ruin" and "Earthquake and Heaven Split" to guide the power of countless whirlpools and undercurrents in the Yangtze River, blocking part of the water in a short time. It is no problem to make it generate a huge wave that can destroy the fleet.
In order for Wang Shichong to successfully recruit and surrender the Sui army, Zhao Qing used the life and death talisman left on him as a medium to remotely use his mental power to find out the details of the fleet more than ten miles away, targeted the opponents on the warship, and fired continuously. And out.
Although the range of five thousand steps is far beyond the imagination of most people in this world, even the dragon eagle in "The Sun and the Moon in the Sky" can hit the red heart three thousand steps away with one arrow by relying on the effect of the magic seed and the folding bow. Naturally, she was totally fine with it and didn't think it was a long distance.
If you have a semi-divine weapon or even a divine weapon-level bow and arrow in your hand, and your cultivation has reached the peak of divine power, it is not impossible to shoot an arrow thousands of miles, like an intercontinental missile, in this type of world.
The strength that has been tested by thousands of years of war is much stronger than the Zhenqi system in this world in terms of comprehensiveness and damage to the army. The combination of the two can play a great role and have Significant improvement, with some changes beyond imagination.
For example, the arrows that Zhao Qing is shooting one after another are made of condensed Gang Qi and ice. When flying at high speed in the air, friction and heat generate a large amount of water vapor, which further generates electricity through friction, and passes through the constraints and connotations of Gang Qi. The sympathetic attraction of yin and yang of true energy constantly accumulates electric charges.
In this process, which is similar to the lightning generated by the clouds, when the target is about to be hit, the restraint of the Gang Qi is released, and the arrow itself almost completely disappears, transformed into a cluster of extremely fast thunder, which instantly hits the enemy at an unimaginable speed. break out.
In the eyes of others, compared with naturally occurring thunder and lightning, it can be said that there is no difference. It is enough to make those who do not know the inside story suspect that it is a "scourge" coming. The five thunders striking the top are associated with the theories of gods and luck, which are more than unfathomable. Peerless martial arts are even more terrifying.
In the troubled times of feudal society, the use of gods, ghosts, religions, destiny, luck and other things that are easy for people to blindly follow can have extremely amazing effects, and can spread on a large scale, causing great impact in a short period of time.
Speaking of which, the lightning burst speed at the end of this "Thunder Arrow" method is up to hundreds of times the speed of sound. Although the energy contained is limited, and the charge accumulation period in the middle is only the normal bow and arrow shooting speed, but for the first time encountering the same level, For experts, it still poses a great threat.
When naturally occurring lightning hits the human body, usually only a small part of the current is equivalent to a small bifurcated tributary, and the energy released in the body is far from complete. This is why an innate expert like Yuchi Sheng did not die immediately;
But this kind of thunder that is locked on the target will not have this kind of waste problem. It can release all the energy contained in it, and is far more lethal than the former at the same intensity.
Even Zhao Qing himself, if he did not use corresponding protective measures in the middle of the "Thunder Arrow" flight, would not be able to dodge in time at the end of the flight, and would most likely be seriously injured by lightning.
…
Ten miles away on the river surface, a strange blue-white track was drawn over the river in the dark night. It suddenly accelerated a hundred times as it approached the Five-Tooth Battleship ten feet away, and electric flames burst into the air, like a miracle.
"Infinite Sword" swung his sword at Sirengang and knocked back Lang Feng and his shields who were blocking him for several steps. He wanted to jump up and jump to the command platform above where Wang Shichong was, but unexpectedly caught a glimpse of Bo Yu not far away. The white light of the paper flashed away, and there was a loud "crack", and a thunderbolt exploded in the clear sky.
The sky and the earth were completely white, and even with his outstanding eyesight among super masters, it was as if he was blind and could not see anything.
When Xiang Siren barely regained half of his perspective and opened his eyes slightly to observe, he saw a burnt-black human-shaped dark spot on the ground where the young man surnamed Yuan was not long ago, but the whole person was nowhere to be seen, completely disappearing from the world. Disappear.
Only the pair of knives and the metal parts of the armor that remained on the spot reminded everyone present that there once was a living person in this position, but under the bombardment of thunder, it has now been completely wiped out.
With the eyesight of hundreds of people on the ship, they had never heard of super lightning with such amazing power in their lives that they could not even leave behind charred corpses. They could not help but be horrified to the extreme and their hearts were extremely shocked.
What shocked them even more was that immediately after the first thunderbolt fell, the sky opened like a gap, and several bright white lights burst out in succession. In the blink of an eye, several people were chopped into pieces, leaving many people dead. Shit and urine flowed out in fear.
Wang Shichong, who reacted the fastest, hurriedly jumped away from the command platform and fell to the lower deck. He did not dare to stay at a high place where he could be easily struck by lightning. He swayed and hid behind the arrow fence walls on the left and right sides, hoping to To withstand the thunder attack.
This type of fireproof arrow shield is made of solid wood, covered with rawhide, and coated with fireproof powder. It also has arrow holes for soldiers on board to fire arrows at the enemy. It is an inevitable device on large warships, and its protective capabilities are considered good.
Before he could reach the right position, Wang Shichong's eyes were once again stimulated by the astonishing light and burned with pain. With the thunderous sound, he caught a glimpse of Xiang Siren's figure suddenly disappearing from the corner of his eye. , only a sword with flashing electric light was inserted into the place.
It seems that the targets of this thunder bombardment are all the people who openly opposed me just now? Wang Shichong's thoughts turned in his mind, and he crouched down behind the arrow barrier. After waiting for a while, he found that after dozens of intensive noises, the thunder stopped temporarily, and he dared to poke half of his head out.
The fact was just as he expected, Xiang Siren, the young man named Yuan and several of his Luliang guards had indeed disappeared without a trace, and they should not have been hiding, but died under the thunder.
Then, Wang Shichong's eyes widened to the extreme. He couldn't believe that what he saw was what would happen in reality, because part of the scorched dark spots left on the ground formed a line of large characters: "Under destiny, Sui Zuo is over."
These eight characters were exactly what Zhao Qing had mentioned emphatically when discussing the recruitment and surrender speech with him, and asked him to pay attention to guidance when the time came and make the Sui army believe in the existence of "mandate of destiny".
With such a coincidental death target and the exact same sentence, could it be said that this super lightning, which is more powerful than any thunder I have ever seen in my life, was actually artificially created and controlled?
Thinking of this, Wang Shichong's mind went blank, and he quickly recalled the vision on the horizon that he had seen before, and the "immortal family" that he deliberately "exaggerated" during his lectures. He connected this series of things together, and finally "understood" Zhao Qing’s identity.
Holding his chest with his heart pounding, Wang Shichong struggled to get up from behind the arrow shield. Seeing that everyone on the deck was now lying on the ground in fear, he tried hard to overcome the tremor in his voice and began a new round of speeches. .
…
After firing dozens of arrows in a row, Zhao Qing threw down his six-bow crossbow and listened to the distant thunder echoing back to the head of Liyang City, knowing that he had successfully eliminated the blockers in the fleet.
Most people, including Wang Shichong and others, have habits that can be said to be advantages but also disadvantages.
That is, no matter how bizarre and weird things are, and how shocking they are when the memory is still fresh, after a period of time, they will be shelved or downplayed, and then everything will return to normal, especially when the matter conflicts with one's own beliefs.
A safe, stable and understandable world is one that people can subconsciously accept its existence, and instinctively reject those unimaginable and peerless magical powers, treating them as distant and inaccessible things.
The "God's Punishment" that has been seen at close range many times is undoubtedly more impressive than ordinary martial arts. With a large number of witnesses, it spread widely and created a huge momentum.
He vaguely guessed the target of her sudden shooting, and looking at Zhao Qing's calm expression, he deduced that things were progressing quite smoothly. Even with Song Que's state of mind, he fell into a daze for a while, risking losing his grip on the carry-on bag. A thick-backed knife.
Originally, in his guess, Zhao Qing was most likely planning to use the previous method of flying swords to control the arrows, greatly improving the range and accuracy, and finally hitting the locked target.
But firing dozens of arrows in such a short period of time, being able to control each arrow, and not even a sword being his opponent, what exactly is the difference?
In the darkness before dawn, Song Que, who was only 50 to 60% sure of his own power sweeping the world, suddenly discovered that the difficulties he needed to overcome may not be a big deal in Zhao Qing's eyes. For the previously set goals, he suddenly The child has 100% confidence.
…
A few days later, Liyang City gradually returned to peace.
No matter inside or outside the city, you can see the shocking relics left by the war everywhere. Collapsed and damaged city walls, various burnt and abandoned defensive and siege tools, black stains of blood on the road, abandoned houses after the fire, and ruined buildings. Tiles can be seen everywhere.
But people are accustomed to this kind of scene. Except for the migrant workers responsible for repairing the city wall, everyone else lives as usual.
For ordinary people, war is one nightmare after another, in which they constantly float and struggle until one day they wake up, and then try their best to forget it.
This is the most tragic thing in the world. It is absolutely cold-blooded, cruel and unkind, to the point of annihilating humanity, leaving neither the enemy nor us with any choice. The victory of each side represents the defeat of the other side, which represents sacrifice and bloodshed, sorrow and bitter tears, and death is an irreparable loss.
Zhao Qing stood alone at the highest point in the city, looking down at the city that was slowly healing itself, as well as the rolling waves that flowed endlessly outside the city and did not change with the rise and fall of the human world. He felt the ruthless relationship between humanity and heaven. at.
Occupying the important town of Liyang City, she had a solid rear to march towards Jiangdu. However, she was not eager to use this place for military purposes like ordinary army commanders. Instead, she considered it and other plans in the future. The governance of towns.
Those who govern a country must first have a way of governing the country before they can practice it. First of all, it is necessary to govern a city and determine the basic framework of the governance method. Only then can it be gradually improved and implemented on a larger scale using force as a medium.
As far as governance is concerned, although the Confucianism of Confucius and Mencius is average, with only "benevolence, justice and morality" and few specific plans, Xunzi's thoughts are still very advanced and point out the essence of governing the country. Some Taoist thoughts can be incorporated into it. It will be implemented after slight modernization.
The King's System Chapter and the Rich Country Chapter provide the theoretical basis for integrating forces to accomplish great things, and propose that society needs mobility and division of labor; the Name-Correcting Chapter, the Uncovering Chapter, and the Encouragement Chapter provide the basis for ideological emancipation; and the Heavenly Theory Chapter provides research The basis of natural science.
For example, "Xunzi's King System" mentioned: "If the division is equal, there will be no partiality; if the forces are equal, there will be no unity; if all the forces are equal, there will be no use. There is heaven and earth, but there are differences between the top and bottom; the Ming Dynasty was established and it was in the state-owned system."
He believes that class division is inevitable in governing the country. The absence of class will lead to chaos. However, he also points out that this is the need for governance and maintaining order. He believes that the monarch is the one who has the ability to lead the masses.
"Xunzi's Way of Kings" also said: "There is chaos for the king, but there is no chaos for the country; there is governance for people, but there is no governance. Yi's law is not dead, but Yi is not in the world; Yu's law still exists, but Xia is not the king of the world." Therefore, laws cannot stand on their own, and species cannot move on their own; if you gain the person, you will survive, if you lose the person, you will perish.”
The legal system is the beginning of governing the country, and the gentleman is the origin of the legal system. Establishing a good legal system and recruiting talents to govern the country are the keys to governing the country.
In addition to establishing a proper post-war system, her next goal is to find and attract state-governing talents such as Xu Xingzhi, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui.
The average speed of the leader process of lightning is 1.5×10^5 meters/second, which is about 1/2000 of the speed of light, while the speed of the return strike process is much greater than the leader speed, which is 1/10~1/3 of the speed of light.
