Chu State, the capital of Ying.
The contemporary Chu Hou was sitting in the main hall, and in front of him were the senior officials of Chu State. At a glance, they all came from great nobles. There is no one from common people!
This is the Chu State. At least in the Chu State at this moment, there is nothing wrong with the common people.
As long as there was some hope, Young Uncle Fan and Wen Zhong would not leave the Chu State and switch to other countries.
Although Chu Hou hated these guys in front of him very much: Chu Hou didn't know which guy was spreading the rumors of the previous generation, but he felt that every one of these guys in front of him was possible!
It's so hateful!
However, as a son never talks about his father's faults, the Marquis of Chu would never publicly admit that his father did something wrong back then: even though what Marquis Ping did back then was indeed not a human matter!
"Gentlemen, what do you think about the affairs of Wu State?"
How can I see it?
Isn't this all the trouble caused by your father's inability to control his lower body?
Otherwise, you lead a large army to attack the State of Wu. If you win, everything will be easy, and everyone will pretend that none of these things happened. If you lose, you will just stay in the State of Wu, which can be regarded as solving the root cause of this matter. ?
However, I just thought about it in my heart. Who would say it directly without opening their eyes?
"The Kingdom of Wu is just a chess piece supported by the Kingdom of Jin. In the past, it was like a nail nailed to the flank, making it impossible for Chu to do its best every time it sent troops to the Central Plains. It is really disgusting, why not take advantage of it? Can we use this opportunity to destroy the Kingdom of Wu?" A certain general from the Qu family directly suggested.
"Huh? Destroy Wu? That sounds nice? If Wu had been destroyed so easily, why would it have waited until today? Although Wu Ni was a true rebel, his understanding of water warfare was indeed the best in the world. He created water warfare. The new model created a large number of dragon boats..." A certain general from the Jing family immediately began to refute.
"So, it is even more important to seize this opportunity. Our Dachu land is rich in resources, so we can lure the enemy deep into the territory first. When the main force of Wu State arrives in our Chu State, we can cut off their food routes in one fell swoop. By then, the army will naturally After being defeated, even the coalition forces of various countries hosted by the Jin State were no match for this move, let alone the small Wu State?" said General Qu.
"Tsk, I think there is something wrong with your brain. Have you played with women too much?" After arguing, General Jing began to attack him personally. However, although he launched a personal attack, he still gave a reason: "That Wu Ni was born in the Wu family. In the past, he was a great nobleman of the Chu State. He knew the mountains, rivers and terrain of the country very well."
"Wu Ni is just like Taigong Wang who fled Qishan back then. Why did King Wen treat Taigong Wang in such a high-profile manner? Because Taigong Wang was an official in Dashang before he ran away. He knew the inside story of Dashang and knew where it was weak and where it was strong."
"Wu Ni is the same! He understands the reality of our Chu country, the relationship between the major feudal lords, and he also knows where the major lords have food, where there are ores, where there is money, and where there are people. He knows everything .”
"Even, to be bold, there may not be anyone who colludes with Wu Ni in our main hall. These people may not want to destroy the Chu Kingdom, but may just want to collude with Wu Ni and embarrass Your Majesty. , so that Your Majesty will know who this great Chu is..."
Obviously, Jing's general felt that Qu's general had no brains. In comparison, he did have a little more brains, but not much, really only a little more.
Therefore, he was interrupted before he finished speaking.
There are some things you can do but not say. If you say it, everyone will look unhappy.
It is not a big problem to collude with Wu Ni, embarrass the Chu lord, embarrass the Chu lord, or defeat the Chu lord. Anyway, Chu is the leader. If the king fails, he will fail. Anyway, there are still us lords. When the king fails, it’s time for me to wait for the king to show his talents.
According to the rules, after the king fails, he can just hide in the harem and create a man, and leave the rest of the important things to me and wait for the king to rule together. What a good thing!
"Ahem, the general is right." Zhao's general immediately stood up and agreed.
"Wu Ni knows the reality of the country, and Wu Ni is good at naval warfare. Our Chu country is in the south, with dense water networks. In addition to the Yangtze River, there are a large number of rivers. Wu's army can attack Chu along the rivers. With a dense network of rivers, compared with land transportation, water transportation consumes very little food and takes very little effort.”
"Moreover, over the years, Wu State has developed Wu State with the help of money from the Yancheng Bond Exchange, which has made Wu State prosperous. Wu State has a bumper harvest of food every year. If it fights a protracted war, Wu State will not worry about insufficient food at all. "
"Even if it really lures the enemy deep, Wu Guoda can use the river to transport food. With Wu's accumulation over the years, it is easy to fight with us for hundreds of years in one breath."
"More importantly, Qu's Boyong has sent another message. In just ten days, the Wu Kingdom's war bonds have raised a total of eight trillion yuan. It is said that this is the first batch of war bonds. The bond fight hasn’t started yet!”
Upon hearing the figure eight trillion, many feudal lords couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Eight trillion, my territory is only a few dozen counties, and it took so many years to develop it. The amount of oil and food that a county has squeezed out in a year is only tens of billions. This is still the purchase of high-quality seeds from Yancheng. After the harvest, dozens of counties will earn one trillion yuan in food revenue over the course of a year.
If all kinds of costs were removed before introducing improved varieties, it would be impossible to see!
But this Wu country actually robbed eight trillion yuan of money with nothing in one breath. Is this money so easy to earn?
You are so rich, why don’t you just give it to me? When the time comes, I will help you hold back Chu Hou, and I guarantee it will be more effective!
"Is the money from other countries brought by strong winds?"
"Yes, they are so resentful of our great Chu?"
"Which country is it? If I find out, I will definitely lead troops to rob him!"
"That's a lot of money!"
Zhao's general continued: "According to the current situation, if the enemy is lured deeper, the second phase of Wu's war bonds will be able to sell at least 20 trillion or even 30 trillion yuan!"
"Moreover, Boyong of the Qu family also said that Nafu Chai said directly in front of everyone that every time they conquered a place, they would immediately have people move the population and remove the minerals. They even directly used secret methods to move the earth veins and dig out Shuiyan, this is completely turning the occupied area into a wasteland!"
"hateful!"
"The damn thief of Wu State deserves to be killed!"
"This Fucha deserves to be damned. Although our great Chu has thousands of counties, which one of them was not developed by our ancestors with so much hard work? If they do this, how many years will it take to recover afterwards?"
"Your Majesty, you must not lure the enemy in!"
"Your Majesty, fight them!"
"Your Majesty, kill the Wu traitors!"
"Your Majesty, gather the army!"
"Your Majesty, summon the naval forces. Although we have had naval forces in the past, we have never paid as much attention to them as the Wu State. Don't let the naval forces fail to defeat the Wu State. Let's set up some water fortresses in advance, just in case!"
"Your Majesty, we can set up a defense line!"
"Your Majesty, we also need to prevent the Central Plains countries from taking the opportunity to attack us. We must leave troops to defend the Jin Kingdom."
"In addition to Jin, there are also neighboring countries such as Cai, so be careful!"
After hearing this, Chu Hou's face became a little better. This is right, and now he looked like he was discussing something.
…
The Marquis of Chu was busy discussing how to deal with the possible attack from the Kingdom of Wu. Jiang Hua was also very busy. At this moment, he came to the lotus pond cave and sat on the green lotus of creation, wrapped in lotus leaves. He was currently discussing what to do next with Qinglian Qinglian.
Decades ago, Creation Qinglian was successfully promoted to spiritual root. At that time, Creation Qinglian determined his own path: to create heavenly tribulations, use the power of creation to simulate the so-called heavenly tribulations, and use the power of creation to overcome them. The hidden desires of the ancestors in the robber's body are either surrendered or forced out to fight.
If you win, you will temporarily defeat the desires of your ancestors. In a short period of time, you will no longer be subtly affected by the desires of your ancestors, eventually changing yourself, or causing various phenomena such as being unable to control the blood in your body.
And after a period of time, due to various reasons, the soul becomes dusty or the strength deteriorates, leading to aging, but it is also possible to survive the tribulation.
At this time, if you win the tribulation, you can safely tame the will of the ancestors in your body and restore your youth again!
In the past, once the monarch fell into an aging state, it meant that the monarch was not good enough. The nobles could consider letting the monarch give up the throne in a dignified way and let the prince seize the time to ascend the throne.
Otherwise, once there is a problem with the succession of kings, the entire country will be in turmoil.
Therefore, when every monarch ascends the throne, he will leave a trace of blood essence and preserve it.
When he fell into a state of old age and indolence, his trusted ministers would take it out in time and briefly awaken him with essence and blood, allowing the old and infirm king to temporarily return to his youthful state.
However, this state is usually not sustainable.
At this time, it is the monarch's turn to make sacrifices for the country.
Monarchs often pass the throne to the prince in a timely manner within the short period of their return to glory.
If the throne is not passed to the prince, seize the opportunity to kill all the prince and his die-hard supporters, and then designate another son to succeed him.
But if there is a thunder tribulation, it will be different!
In the past, regardless of various accidents, the average minister could stay young for two to three thousand years before aging.
However, if a certain minister frequently participates in political struggles, then when a certain struggle fails, his morale will also disappear, and he will age suddenly or enter the state of aging prematurely.
If a minister likes to fight, often burns essence and blood, has sequelae in his early years, or has an unstable foundation, etc., a series of reasons will also lead to premature aging of the minister.
But if there is a thunder disaster, and the prime minister lives another life, it will not be a big problem to live a second life.
As for whether you can take this opportunity to live a third life, it has not been tested yet, so no one can say for sure.
But there is no doubt that who would refuse the opportunity to live a second life?
For young nobles, transcending tribulations can help them effectively tame the ancestral will in the body. These are the four nine heavenly tribulations, which help to subdue the ancestral will in the body with the help of the power of creation.
The six-nine heavenly tribulations are different. As for the legendary ninety-nine heavenly tribulations, they are even more exaggerated.
There is no doubt that thunder tribulation can effectively help nobles no longer lose control and no longer turn into ferocious beasts after failing to break through.
Even Haotian's will, which is impartial, righteous, and absolutely neutral, can't stand the ferocious beast. Who makes ferocious beasts like to destroy the world the most?
Therefore, after the creation of Qinglian determined this path, he immediately gained the favor of Haotian's will. A large amount of knowledge about bloodline and a large amount of destiny were given to creation Qinglian for free as if they were free of charge. Chi Xiaodongtian was upgraded into a real complete cavetian.
When Jiang Hua made the breakthrough, he worked very hard to support Haotian's will: If I were the Emperor of Heaven in his time, blah blah blah...
But in the end, Haotian only sent down some destiny, and there were no other spiritual treasures or innate spiritual roots.
It was almost as if Jiang Hua had worked hard for a long time, and Haotian Will finally replied with one word: Read!
Today, Creation Qinglian has finally digested the bloodline knowledge passed on to him by Haotian, and Thunder Tribulation has taken a step further.
"Are you saying that you can create thunder catastrophes like those of the first-generation monarch and below, and the cost is not high?"
The Green Lotus of Creation gently shakes the lotus leaves.
"Although the Chinese people have awakened their bloodline, the blood concentration is too low to actively use their own bloodline. Most of the Chinese people have better physical fitness. Here in Yancheng, many Chinese people still have the ability to breathe underwater, but That’s all.”
"In the past, when a countryman broke through and became a scholar, this level was mainly about condensing a drop of real blood essence, which was very difficult. You are saying that now you can directly bring down the forged thunder disaster by the power of creation to help the people of the country stay safe. Condensed essence and blood?"
Good Fortune Green Lotus shook the lotus leaves again.
"What about the cost? The power of creation is omnipotent, I only care about the cost now."
Creation Qinglian shook the lotus leaves again, Jiang Hua nodded slightly, it can be done at low cost.
"Then there's the issue of safety."
"In the past, I was still short-sighted. I always felt that even if you were exposed and the Three Saints were looking after you, nothing would happen. But now I find that if you are really exposed, I am afraid that this will be the trigger for the next world war. !”
If the profit is big enough, you won’t be afraid of offending the Three Saints!
Hearing this, Good Fortune Green Lotus shook the lotus leaves again. After a moment, Jiang Hua nodded slowly.
"In other words, now that your strength has improved, as long as someone builds a large-scale altar to worship you in the world, you will be able to sense it and then bring down thunder and disaster from an infinite distance?"
"This is good, this is really good, then as long as we have the first lucky person, the name of the God of Creation will be resounding throughout the world!"
"Who do you think the Heavenly Lord of Creation is? Of course it's you. Who else in the world besides you is worthy of this title? What do you think of this title?"
