"Lord, I already have all the troops of the Zhou Kingdom in my hands. As long as you attack, I will directly cooperate with you to rush into the Zhou capital!" Liu Bang talked to Liu Xu through a mysterious connection.
What Liu Bang said was the truth. After the previous coalition forces of the seven provinces were destroyed, Emperor Zhou completely deprived the seven major princes of their right to form an army. The reason is very simple. If you can't win, then let those who can really win Come.
After suffering heavy losses, the seven princes also gave up the idea of forming their own army because their resources were about to be exhausted, so they simply allowed Liu Bang to recruit troops again within the seven provinces and then train the army.
Under Liu Bang's strict training, the army formed for the second time was more like an army than the first one. The most critical point was that these soldiers understood the principle of listening to command and were able to carry out Liu Bang's orders meticulously. Liu Bang After completely controlling this army, he said to Liu Xu.
In his opinion, it was time for Liu Xu to take action. It had been a year and a half. Liu Xu had basically digested all the territory in the five provinces, and all the millions of troops had become Liu Xu's readers. , the power of reading in the body skyrocketed again.
At the same time, the opponent Zhou's army was also under Liu Xu's control. Liu Bang couldn't understand why Liu Xu didn't launch a full-scale attack even in this situation.
"Wait for an opportunity!" Liu Xu replied to Liu Bang.
"My good grandson, what opportunity are you waiting for? Is there any better opportunity in the world than this?" Liu Bang asked in confusion. Indeed, there is no better opportunity than this.
Liu Bang continued, "That Emperor Zhou didn't completely trust me. He just took a fancy to my ability to train soldiers. I can guarantee your grandfather that it won't take long for him to send someone to take away my military power. If I miss it, At this time, even if you want to cry, you won’t be able to cry anymore.”
"Who said Monkey Sun hasn't made a big fuss in Heaven yet?" Liu Xu said with a smile.
"Monkey Sun is causing trouble in the Heavenly Palace? Who is Monkey Sun?" Liu Bang asked in confusion.
"Monkey Sun is just a monkey!" After Liu Xu finished speaking, he ended the communication with his ancestor. Liu Bang hesitated for a while, then found Fan Kuai and asked, "Fan Kuai, have you heard of Monkey Sun?"
"What kind of monkey can you eat?" Fan Kuai's rhetorical question left Liu Bang speechless, so Liu Bang asked Cao Shen again. Cao Shen thought seriously for a while, then shook his head and said that he did not know the monkey.
In the end, Liu Bang had no choice but to ask Xia Houying. Xia Houying thought for a while and finally asked, "Boss, where is the Heavenly Palace?"
——————————
The reason why Liu Xu is waiting for "Havoc in Heaven" is that it is the most exciting plot in the early stage of "Journey to the West". Even "Havoc in Heaven" is the most well-known idiom in the entire "Journey to the West".
Compared with the plots of the Nine-Nine and Eighty-One Difficulties in the later period of Journey to the West, Havoc in Heaven can even be regarded as the strongest plot climax in the whole book. Liu Xu naturally believed that the plot of Havoc in Heaven would make him welcome the novel. Come to a crucial breakthrough, let yourself break through the limitations of official titles and become the author of the holy title.
If Liu Xu didn't break through the holy title, he wouldn't have the confidence to continue the attack.
It's just that Liu Xu himself lacks confidence at this time and is worried about whether he can successfully break through.
Some people may find it strange, how can it be possible that the plot of "Havoc in Heaven" is so exciting and still unable to break through?
That's because at this time, the reader reviews of "Journey to the West" are going to the extreme of polarization, and there are more negative reviews than positive reviews.
It should be said that the beginning of "Journey to the West" is quite perfect, because it takes the monkey as the protagonist, and at the same time completely lists a large number of Taoist cultivation classics, and it happens to hit the time point when Liu Xu is trapped in the realm of eternal reflection. The popularity of "Journey to the West" reached its peak at the beginning.
In 10 days, more than 12 million collections were collected. This is an opening achievement that is difficult for any author to achieve.
Moreover, the evaluation of this book is very high. After reading the opening, many black readers have to admit that the writing of this book is quite good. The various cultivation systems in it are not created in vain, and the world constructed hastily is also very good. Full of imagination.
This kind of praise lasted until Monkey Sun graduated from Fangcun Mountain and returned to Huaguo Mountain to become the real Monkey King.
Then the reviews began to take a turn for the worse, with a large number of people on the Internet scolding the book as too toxic and clamoring to abandon it.
You may find this strange after reading this. The plot of Journey to the West has always had no problems, and there are no poisonous points.
And after he returned from Fangcun Mountain, he took the golden cudgel from the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, and drew the name from the underworld. He also defeated the heavenly soldiers and generals who came to capture him. At first, he became Bima Wen, and later But he became the Monkey King.
Anyway, before being suppressed at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain, Sun Houhou had a completely enjoyable plot. How could Hou Aotian, the male protagonist, be scolded for being so vicious?
Liu Xu felt the same way at first, but it wasn't until he finished updating Chapter 25 that Ao came to the country to get weapons that the situation began to change.
Maybe many readers of Journey to the West don't know this plot. It is written that after Sun Hou returned from Fangcun Mountain, his subordinates complained that the weapons in their hands were all bamboo poles and the like and were not useful, and there were no good weapons.
Then he told Sun Wukong that there is a place called Aolai Country 200 miles away. There is a large population in it, and there are naturally many weapons and blacksmiths. You can buy some, or have some weapons made.
Sun Houhou agreed wholeheartedly, but when he arrived at Aolai Kingdom, he completely put aside the idea of buying and thought, "There must be a large number of ready-made weapons in this palace. Instead of me going down to buy them, I might as well just use my magical power to buy these weapons." We’ve got all the weapons.”
So Monkey Sun blew up a gust of black wind, blowing everyone in the Aolai Kingdom into their homes and not daring to move. He slipped directly into the arsenal of the Aolai Kingdom, transformed into a group of little monkeys, and directly destroyed all the items in the arsenal. All the weapons were emptied, and they were brought back to Huaguo Mountain for use by their monkey army.
Liu Xu didn't think there was any problem when he wrote this plot, but once it was published, some readers immediately became dissatisfied and said angrily, "What kind of garbage protagonist is this? Why should you steal weapons when you can obviously buy them?"
"Yes, this protagonist's outlook on life is so wrong and problematic. How can he steal something?"
It turns out that when readers saw that Sun Wukong actually used magical powers to steal weapons instead of buying weapons as previously agreed, they felt that there was something wrong with Sun Wukong's character, and the problem with his outlook on life was even bigger.
There was a quarrel among the readers for a while, but Sun Wukong is a monkey after all, and he did not hurt anyone in the process of stealing the weapons. The key is that the weapons he stole were from the palace, not something that ordinary people would find in their homes, which caused The bad feeling is not too much, compared to other readers
"This is just a monkey that has just become human. Why do you care so much about a monkey?"
"If a monkey bites you, can you still bite a monkey?"
"Humans also act like monkeys sometimes. Why don't you say that humans who act like monkeys are guilty?"
Words like this can be regarded as suppressing this contradiction.
