The Central Five States have always been regarded as a treasure by the Four Great Dynasties. At the beginning of the establishment of the Four Great Dynasties, everyone coveted the Central Five States.
Of course, for such a large territory as the Central Five States, the four dynasties cannot maintain their previous tacit understanding and distribute it equally.
Only a powerful dynasty can gain territory in the Central Five States and continue to grow stronger.
If you get the middle five states, you will have a huge advantage. In the subsequent competition, you will have the highest probability of success. Therefore, at this time, all four dynasties are preparing to take action.
According to Zhu Xiao's information, each dynasty sent no less than half a million troops.
That is to say, at least two million troops must enter the Central Five States to compete. The Central Five States are large, but they are a bit small for the two million troops.
Even the Great Zhou Dynasty in its heyday only had 1.5 million troops, maintaining a basic balance and suppressing the world.
As a result, two million troops were involved in fighting for one of the five states.
"It's nothing more than a militancy!"
In this world, a dynasty has a large territory and a large number of people.
But after these years of wars and natural disasters, the number of people has dropped a lot. Being able to send two million troops to the battlefield definitely requires the deployment of most of the manpower. Many warrior forces within the dynasty cannot escape and are forced to send manpower. .
Then there are the ordinary people.
It can only be said that how could the dynasty's forces engage in a loss-making business? How could they not recover some interest after spending so much food and sending out so many warriors?
Ordinary people can also form military formations. When their top masters restrain each other, they can play a huge role. Once a batch of territories are conquered, it will be the time to truly break the balance.
However, because of the previous natural disasters, the people within the dynasty did not resist much, not to say they were willing, but there was not much resistance either.
As a result, there were two million troops in the four directions, southeast, northwest, sharpening their knives, as if vowing to turn the five central states into a meat grinder.
The pressure from the forces in the Central Five States is the greatest. They know that they will either leave the Central Five States and choose a dynasty. In this way, they may be sent to the Central Five States. The vast majority of the tribe can be saved, but this will result in the loss of a large number of people. After all, for most foundations, when entering a new place, others are unlikely to take the initiative to give up their interests.
Or just like Rootless Duckweed, continue to stay in the Central Five States. If you do this, you will most likely be knocked over by the waves and the entire family will turn into dust. However, it is also possible to stay and preserve the foundation, or even go further.
Two options, this is a choice that most of the forces in the Central Five States must make. Unless you are alone, as long as you care about your family, there is no third option.
Of course, there are two forces that are not included in this list.
One is naturally the Yuelai Inn in Chizhou. As a top powerhouse, Zhu Xiao is not afraid of these competitions at all. The four major dynasties will not tease her before they succeed, so they basically ignore it.
There is also Huang Tian's Taiping Sect. His Taiping Sect has begun to take shape and has all the high-level officials it should have. They know that if they are ruled by the dynasty, everything will return to where it started, so they have long been prepared to fight the dynasty's army.
The four great dynasties had two million troops, and they now also had one million followers.
Of course, many people also know that their strength is not even close to that of the dynasty's army. Now that the Taiping Religion has not been disbanded, their belief is firm.
The world Huang Tian described was really too tempting!
but--
"Master, the four dynasties are very powerful, we are no match!"
"Yes, leader, the four dynasties have two million troops and at least three hundred thousand warriors. Those warriors are not something we can deal with. Do we need to lie dormant for a period of time and develop secretly?"
They are unwilling to give up, but they also know that there will be no good results if they go head-on.
Huang Tian looked at everyone and said nothing.
Three hundred thousand warriors are indeed scary.
Almost all the warriors who can be used are used, and almost everything can be crushed.
Without equal strength, confrontation is meaningless.
So dormancy seems to be the best choice. Anyway, they haven't attracted real attention. As long as they stay dormant for a period of time, there may not be no chance.
After a long time, Huang Tian spoke.
"It's impossible to stay dormant. As long as we enter dormancy, we will never have a chance to rise again. Do you think the strength of the four dynasties will decline?" Before he could answer, he continued, "No, they will only It will become stronger and stronger, and as time goes by, we will only have less and less chances.”
Huang Tian's understanding is very clear. He has seen the development of the four major dynasties in the past few years. Although there will be great losses in each action, he will become stronger after each action.
For example, Lingjian Valley and Tiandao City, that is, the Wu Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, the two forces attacked Shuzhou before and lost a lot of manpower, but what about now?
The strength is stronger than before!
So dormant is of no use.
"What should we do, leader?"
The senior leaders of the Taiping Religion include ordinary people and warriors, but Huang Tian has great trust in them. Although Huang Tian is only a grandmaster-level warrior outside, they all know that he is a truly top-notch warrior.
Huang Tian didn't talk nonsense and pointed directly at a high-ranking person. He was an ordinary person. The Taiping Religion did not require Jedi strength to become a high-ranking person.
"Come here and put this on your body!"
The man looked at the talisman in Huang Tian's hand and didn't know why.
However, out of trust, he still stuck the talisman on his body.
After the talisman paper is attached to the person's body, it disappears directly and seems to be integrated into the human body.
Before the person using the talisman had time to react, he found that his blood and physical fitness were constantly increasing, reaching an extremely terrifying level in the blink of an eye.
"Grandmaster?"
Some other senior executives exclaimed.
The Taiping Sect has millions of followers, so naturally there are warriors joining it, and there is even a grandmaster-level warrior.
The person who used the talisman was not familiar with this kind of power, so he revealed some aura and was recognized by the master.
Grandmaster level!
In the blink of an eye, an ordinary person was turned into a master. What kind of magical method was this?
He already looked up to Huang Tian very highly, otherwise he wouldn't do things willingly, but seeing this scene, he found that he still knew less!
The last call for wind and rain was just the tip of the iceberg.
"Grandmaster, what are you talking about? Han Yun became a grandmaster?"
Everyone present knew the details. Naturally, the person who spoke was a master-level warrior with much better eyesight than them. However, he said that Han Yun, who had just become an ordinary person, became a master. It was simply unimaginable.
They all looked at Huang Tian.
"Master, what kind of method is that? Can it be copied on a large scale?" The think tank among them immediately saw the value of this method. If this method can be copied on a large scale, they will have a turning point.
Huang Tian nodded and said, "It can be copied, and it can be copied on a large scale. I can probably create nearly a hundred masters and 20,000 warriors now."
Everyone was shocked!
Creating so many warriors can completely create a force on the level of the four major dynasties in an instant. Although the background is slightly insufficient, with this kind of background, only one top powerhouse is enough!
And their leader is such a top powerhouse.
The think tank was a little excited, but he kept his balance and asked again: "Leader, what is the cost of this improvement? How long can it last?"
"There is no price. If there is a price, I will pay for it. As for the maintenance time, as long as I don't die, I can maintain it forever and it will not disappear!"
Huang Tian took out this thing and naturally had no intention of hiding it any longer. The people from the four major dynasties were about to attack Zhongwuzhou, so he had to be fully prepared.
"In this case, leader, I request that this kind of thing be distributed immediately, and then start training the army. These armies will be the cornerstone for us to defend our heritage!"
"Of course I know that. How about what I asked you to do?"
"Leader, I don't know why you were blocked last time, but this time it went smoothly. Your will and your ability to control wind and rain have been spread, and your reputation has been greatly improved. The followers of the Taiping Sect will soon be close to one." It’s over 1.5 million!”
"Well done, continue. Next, we will select warriors from within the teaching, as well as those who are suitable to become warriors. I want everyone to become warriors and stronger people!"
"Yes, leader!" The senior leaders of the Taiping Religion responded in unison.
I originally thought there was no hope, but now it seems that it is still unclear what the final result will be.
"Master, do you have this kind of method? Is it a gift from God?"
Someone thought of the title that many people gave Huang Tian, Tianshi, a teacher sent by God.
When Huang Tian heard this sentence, he seemed to think of something and said, "It's not a gift from God, but from my husband, my teacher. He once taught me for two months and taught me a lot, whether it's about making wind or rain. That kind of talisman paper is all something the teacher taught me."
"teacher?"
Everyone was surprised. It was the first time they heard that the leader had such a teacher.
The leader is so powerful, but what about the leader’s teacher?
If the wind-calling rain and the talismans were both created by the leader, then there shouldn't be any problem in calling them immortals, right?
"Yes, teacher, if it weren't for the teacher, I might not be alive now!"
The more he practiced, the more Huang Tian understood how terrible his state was at that time. If he hadn't encountered a teacher who gave him the skills, his situation might have been very miserable.
"Can the leader invite your teacher? In this case, maybe all the problems will be solved!"
Even if the leader's teachers only heard about it, they all know that he is very powerful and cannot be compared to ordinary people.
"No, let's not say that I can't find where the teacher is now. Even if I find it, the teacher won't take action. We can only rely on ourselves this time!"
Although Huang Tian didn't know what his teacher's purpose was, he would definitely not take action easily, so this time, he could only rely on himself.
The senior officials didn't say anything. If it doesn't work, it won't work. The leader's method gave them a lot of confidence.
Soon, everyone dispersed, and the Taiping Religion underwent huge changes overnight, gathering manpower and training the army.
There was no way to hide this kind of thing, and soon, all the slightly powerful forces knew about it.
"Train the army to fight against the four dynasties. Your courage is commendable!"
This is a bit nicer to say, but more sarcastic.
"Just relying on those rabble?"
"Ordinary people's armies will be crushed in an instant because of the Taiping Sect's benevolence and righteousness. It seems that may not be the case!"
"So what if there are too many people? Do you still want to resist the four dynasties? I really can't see myself clearly!"
Whether it is the warriors from the Central Five States or other places, they all regard the Taiping Sect as a joke and find their behavior in training the army extremely ridiculous.
So what if there are 1.5 million followers, any dynasty can easily crush them.
Not to mention using the mantis' arm as a chariot, it will only cause unnecessary sacrifices.
As for the people in charge of the Four Dynasties this time, I don’t even care!
"The dynasty does not need a sect. The Taiping Sect is operating in Guanzhou. We can just destroy it when the time comes!"
The five middle states include Quanzhou, Chizhou, Shangguanzhou, Yuzhou and Shizhou.
This was the commander of the Ming Dynasty's army. The state capital they initially wanted to capture was Shanguan Prefecture, one of the five states. This state capital was the closest to the dynasty's land.
"Haha, this Taiping Sect is also a piece of fat. It can be supported by more than a hundred and a half sects. As long as they can change the object of their support to Prince Ming, Prince Ming will definitely be very happy."
"Then I will send some people to clean up the Taiping Sect and give King Ming a big gift!"
You can make a contribution, and of course no one will miss it.
The preparations for the war were still going on, and it was April of the 542nd year of the Great Zhou Calendar. In almost three months, the four dynasties had made preparations one after another, and grain and grass gradually entered the scope of the five middle states.
Everyone knows that the war is about to begin!
The initial war may be okay, but once the armies of the four dynasties meet, that's when the real meat grinder battlefield begins.
In May of the 542nd year of the Great Zhou Calendar, the armies of the four great dynasties set off.
Shanguan Prefecture in the Ming Dynasty, Yuzhou in the Cang Dynasty, Shizhou in the Eastern Dynasty, and Quanzhou in the Wu Dynasty.
Four states entered the army at the same time. In fact, these armies had not experienced many battles at all and did not have much resistance.
Their ultimate enemies are the other three.
Of course, the Ming Dynasty's army would take action against the Taiping Religion in Shanguan Prefecture.
The attitudes of the other three parties are similar.
"I'm really envious. Even if we are just a ragtag group of people, we can actually fight before the real battle. This is a good opportunity."
"Taiping Cult, this is a big piece of fat, it will be advantageous to the Ming Dynasty!"
Everyone is guessing how long it will take for the Taiping Religion to be eliminated.
Then three days later, news came that the Ming Dynasty's army was defeated and was caught off guard by the Taiping Religion. The army of 500,000 directly lost 100,000, some died, and more were captured.
The Taiping Sect exploded with extremely powerful combat power.
No one believed this news at first, until the strength of the Taiping Religion came out.
