"The only thing we can do is to block it with soldiers and to cover it with water and soil!"
As soon as San Yisheng's words came out, Di Jun, Chang Xi, and his friend Nangong Shi couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths.
What's the difference between what you said and what you didn't say? ! Bullshit literature?
"Your Majesty, General,"
San Yisheng smiled bitterly: "Fei Chen is unwilling to contribute to Xiqi, but in fact, in terms of apparent strength, Xiqi and Dashang are far apart!"
"In terms of land area, Xiqi only has one town. Dashang has regained three towns so far. In addition to the directly controlled territory, the land is more than five times ours, and the population is more than 10 times, especially the newborns... We, There is simply not enough depth to fight Dashang."
"In terms of military strength, Dashang has experienced the battles of Beihai, Beizhen, Dongzhen, Nanzhen, and King Pingling in the East China Sea. The vast majority of Dashang's troops have experienced bloody battles and are warriors who have fought a hundred battles. They are not like us. Comparable.”
"Not to mention the generals and advisors... How can our town compare with the rest of the world? Plus..."
San Yisheng had something he didn't dare to say, and couldn't say it... That was that Di Xin had implemented simplified Chinese characters and the education-oriented concept as early as three years ago...
Compared with Xiqi, where only princes and princes could still learn calligraphy, in Dashang, with the support of a large amount of cheap paper, pens and ink, families with a little wealth could learn calligraphy.
This also results in Dashang’s talent pool being dozens of times that of Xiqi!
That is to say, Xiqi has recently set up a recruitment hall, and countless capable people have entered the court... Otherwise, in this battle, San Yisheng himself really wants to surrender and admit defeat!
Of course, what San Yisheng didn't know was that the person summoned by the Talent Recruiting Hall was not someone else! Moreover, more and more people have died in Xiqi due to accidents in the past year...
"So," San Yisheng took a deep breath and said slowly, "Our only chance of victory is the support of the great religion!"
"Monk? Doctor San, do you mean to explain the teaching?"
Di Jun suddenly understood and blurted out.
"Yes, it is the disciples of Chanjiao."
San Yisheng nodded heavily: "You may not know something, Lord Marquis. As early as when the previous Lord Marquis was in office, Chanjiao disciples came to Xiqi many times to preach... and the Marquis also calculated through innate calculations that Xiqi will definitely be in Xiqi in the future. With the help of Chan Jiao, we will create the next dynasty!"
"But... wouldn't it be inappropriate to give all our hopes to Chan Jiao?"
Di Jun frowned, thinking about when he had ever been so aggrieved when he led the demon clan across the wilderness?
"There is nothing inappropriate," San Yisheng thought clearly: "Master Hou, our strength is not as good as Dashang, so we can only rely on external forces... Hey, it's all my fault. I haven't been able to find a way to make Xiqi rich and powerful in the past few years. On the contrary, Let the big merchants take advantage."
In fact, San Yisheng also knows that Xiqi cannot use Dashang's reforms and cannot use them! Otherwise, why did the two hundred princes of Xiqi not join the great merchants, but still had to follow Xiqi to eat chaffy vegetables? Therefore, we can only watch Dashang getting stronger and stronger, until now we are unable to fight against him!
"In that case...then so be it."
Hearing San Yisheng say this, Emperor Jun also knew that in terms of strength, there was no possibility of confrontation... And just when he was about to order San Yisheng to inform the disciples of Chanjiao, he suddenly heard laughter outside the hall! He looked up and saw Xiqi Prime Minister Shen Gongbao walking quickly into the hall!
"Why do you need to encourage other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige? In my opinion, Emperor Xin will definitely retreat in defeat this time!"
"Oh? What do you think, Prime Minister?"
Di Jun's eyes lit up and he looked at Shen Gongbao.
Shen Gongbao smiled slightly and said: "As a human king, Emperor Xin did not want to contribute to the human race. He disrespected God and acted unethically. He tortured the people and killed the ministers. He only followed the words of his wife. He indulged in promiscuity and alcoholism. His subordinates turned him into a slave. Qiu, the poor emperor in the world has been suffering for a long time, and he should be guilty of the following ten crimes!"
"Crime 1: Indulging in wine and sex, not worshiping God, saying that the ancestral temple is not enough to worship and the country is not enough to protect, so he said: 'I have people and a destiny.' A gentleman who is far away, loves a villain, loses his ethics and loses his virtue, which is an evil unprecedented in ancient times and modern times. !”
To put it simply, it means indulging in wine and sex and disrespecting God. The words on the lips are the people's will and destiny...
"The second crime: deposing the original wife and favoring the demon concubine, indulge in sexual immorality and corruption, and bring great harm to Yilun."
It means deposing the queen and doting on Daji...
"Crime three: freeing slaves and robbing ministers of property." (PS: From here on, it becomes vernacular.)
"Sin Four: Abolition of witch sacrifices, abolition of human sacrifices, ignoring God!"
"Crime 5: The god who protects the people only ate a few babies and asked for some sacrifices, so he was classified as an evil god... and was hostile to many monks!"
"Crime Six: Abolish the Dragon Clan's totem and create enmity with the Dragon Clan..."
"Sin seven..."
"Sin eight..."
Shen Gongbao's eloquent words were all ten crimes, which made Di Jun's eyes shine and San Yisheng was at a loss...
"Crime 10: disrespecting the princes, treating the princes as enemies and bandits, paying attention to the head of Guizhou, and being the source of trouble!"
"No, Prime Minister." When Shen Gongbao had just finished talking about Emperor Xin's ten sins, San Yisheng couldn't help it and interrupted: "What you said is not only beneficial to us in terms of reputation, but in actual combat, it is very important to resist the enemy." What is the role of the merchant army?"
San Yisheng actually has one more sentence that he has not finished yet. Even if it is about reputation or people's hearts, it will have no effect at all, okay? !
Now the entire Great Shang, not to mention the favored heads of Guizhou and the common people... Even the nobles who suffered the greatest loss of profits, the Great Shang court also adopted a cooperative method to share the good things invented by the Great Shang with the princes, princes, ministers, and nobles... ...just to prevent the nobles from fighting for the land and fighting for the food in the fields with Kuhaha...
The quality of life has been improved, and income has also been greatly increased. Now the nobles of Dashang, even if you want them to go back to their old days, they won't want to, okay? !
"No, what the Prime Minister said is very useful!"
San Yisheng didn't see it, but Di Jun did. He clapped his hands excitedly and praised Shen Gongbao: "Gongbao, you are worthy of being the prime minister summoned by Gu Gu. You are truly unparalleled in resourcefulness!"
"Master Hou?"
San Yisheng looked at Di Jun in confusion, and Shen Gongbao on the side sighed and explained: "Doctor San, think about it carefully, where are the crimes of the great businessman king that the prime minister just mentioned?"
"Wait a minute, what do you mean..." San Yisheng is worthy of being one of Xiqi's most resourceful people. With a little help from Shen Gongbao, he immediately figured it out: "The prime minister means evil gods, dragons, and casual cultivators?"
"It seems that Dr. San understands."
Shen Gongbao nodded proudly: "As long as we, in the name of Xiqi, post the ten sins of the great merchant kings that I just mentioned and declare them to the world, I think it won't be long before there will be capable people and strangers who will be expelled by the great merchants, or who want to Monks and immortals who want revenge join Xiqi...
With the help of these capable people and strangers, how can the great merchants attack us? "
"good!"
Di Jun nodded with satisfaction and was about to give a few compliments...
"Master Hou!"
San Yisheng exclaimed and wanted to speak... However, Emperor Jun's mind was already made up, and there was no room for San Yisheng to speak.
"Let's settle this matter! Doctor San, immediately promulgate the ten sins of kings just mentioned by the Prime Minister and declare them to the world... I want to prove to the whole world and the whole world that I am not afraid of great merchants!"
"Hou...Hou...Hou is wise!"
San Yisheng's lips wriggled a few times, but finally, he lowered his head and took Nangong Shi out of the Hou Mansion.
After leaving the Hou Mansion, Nangong Shi asked Xiang San Yisheng: "Doctor San, I always feel that there is something wrong with what the Marquis and the Prime Minister said..."
"Of course it's inappropriate."
San Yisheng sighed and said: "What the Prime Minister just said are all evil gods and loose cultivators who were driven away to attract big businessmen... Think about it, if these evil gods come to our Xiqi and want them to contribute to Xiqi, then Our population... Also, do you think the people will rebel because they want to sacrifice their children to be devoured by evil gods?"
"this……"
After hearing San Yisheng's explanation, Nangong Shi fell silent... In other words, even he himself knew the problem.
Find the evil god to enter Xiqi and unite with the Dragon Clan... Even if he defeats Dashang, will Xiqi be recognized by Huoyun Cave? He is a military commander, General Xiqi, but he is also a human race!
"Doctor San, you said our Marquis..."
Suddenly, Nangong Shi thought that the population of Xiqi seemed to have declined a lot in the past few days, and he spoke hesitantly.
"Shh!" San Yisheng made a silent gesture: "Let's make an announcement first. I will tell you the rest when the time is right..."
"good!"
Nangong Shi took a deep look at him and made a certain decision in his heart...
In the Xibohou Mansion, Shen Gongbao and Di Jun were having a conversation.
"Emperor," Shen Gongbao took a sip of tea and looked at Emperor Jun: "The monsters summoned by the Talent Recruiting Hall are a little bit unruly these days. Nearly a thousand people have disappeared in Xiqi City, which has aroused the vigilance of San Yisheng, Nangong Shi and others... …Especially the Xibohou Mansion, the recruitment of maids and chambermaids is too fast, I’m afraid…”
"Well, it's mainly because Gui Che just arrived and hasn't had enough to eat in Beiland for a long time. He's been eating a lot these days."
Di Jun rubbed his brows and said with some distress: "Don't worry, I drove him back to the Northland three days ago and asked him to bring all the demon clan in the Northland... Please help arrange it, there must be no shortage of food! "
"The food is okay, there are plenty of sweet potatoes and potatoes...the key is, meat."
Shen Gongbao reminded: "Emperor, you are the leader of the human race now, and in the future you will be the king... If the cannibalism of your army is exposed, I am afraid..."
"Huh!" Di Jun took a deep breath, with a stern look in his eyes: "Don't worry, for the sake of our great cause, I will never allow them to mess around! When the time comes, I will personally warn them!"
"If the emperor takes action, there will be no worries."
Shen Gongbao nodded. He also knew that with his immortal-level cultivation, he would not need the Great Sage to take action when he got in front of the demon army. Any demon general who came would be devoured in one bite! Therefore, he could only rely on Emperor Jun to suppress the demon army!
"By the way, if I remember correctly, as soon as Dashang sends out troops, the process of conferring gods will begin, right?"
"Yes, the original Tianzun has sent a message, ordering me to take time to go to Kunlun Mountain..."
"Then you should take the time to go there... I estimate that people who can become gods should have something special to become gods."
Di Jun's eyes flashed with a dark light: "If the god-like thing is related to the person on the list, maybe I can use it too!"
"Okay, I'm going to Kunlun now!"
Hearing that Emperor Jun was useful, Shen Gongbao didn't dare to delay. He immediately took off from Xiqi City and headed straight for Kunlun...
In the mansion, after Shen Gongbao left, Chang Xi came closer.
"Emperor, you don't want to say that the thing Shen Gongbao is about to obtain is the list of gods, right?"
"if not?"
Emperor Jun smiled coldly and said, "There is a saying in the book left by Demon Throat. The demon clan has a list called the Demon Sealing List. Our demon clan also had a banner, which is called: Monster Summoning Banner... Since we have the Demon Sealing List, , the banner to attract monsters, the battle to confer gods, but how do you know there is no list of conferred gods?"
"But...if there really is a list of gods, and it is definitely given by Heavenly Dao and Dao Ancestor, we can't do anything about it, right?"
Chang Xi reminded: "That is a thing of the future heaven. If something goes wrong..."
"Oh, the book left by the Demon Ancestor contains the method of refining the Demonic Sealing Tablet... I have been researching it these days. If I get the God-Sealing Tablet, who knows, I can leave a backdoor... By then, once the Heavenly Court is captured, the God-Sealing Tablet will be released Even if you can’t say it, you can use it for me!”
"Jie Jie Jie!"
Di Jun smiled particularly sinisterly. After Chang Xi understood Di Jun's plan, he covered his mouth and laughed like a night owl!
After leaving Xiqi, Shen Gongbao made a secret and fled to the Kunlun Mountains. How can you tell? There are poems to prove it:
Mysterious inside, mysterious emptiness, mysterious inner emptiness, the wonderful and wonderful method is endless. The Five Elements Taoist magic is extraordinary, and a demonic wind comes to the Jade Palace.
When he arrived at Kunlun Mountain, Shen Gongbao knew that he was not liked by the disciples of the Chan Cult, so he just stayed in front of the Yuxu Palace gate obediently, lowered his head and said to the boy: "Junior brother Baihe, I would like to trouble you to report to the master. Disciple Shen Gongbao asks for an audience."
Baihe boy raised his eyelids and glanced at Shen Gongbao...
"Wait."
He said without any respect and walked towards the palace...
Such neglect made Shen Gongbao secretly resentful! I just felt that I was right to seek refuge with Di Jun!
Even me, a demon clan practicing evil practices secretly, feels disgusted by such a sect that downtrodden and worships the superior!
After waiting for more than half an hour, Shen Gongbao finally saw the shaky figure of Baihe Boy again.
"Master Headmaster calls you in!"
"Thank you, junior brother."
Shen Gongbao took a step forward and wanted to enter...but when he passed Baihe Boy, he was blocked by a big wing.
"Want to just go in like this?"
The boy Baihe raised his head and looked at Shen Gongbao with dissatisfaction... Shen Gongbao knew clearly that this was a bribe!
Just like before, every time I came to listen to a sermon and wanted to enter, I had to make an offering...and then I could get a seat from Baihe Boy...
But he is a Sanwu monk whose master does not love him and whose senior brother does not love him. Where can he get offerings from him? Therefore, every time I go in, I can only be placed in the last row. I can only watch other senior brothers get in without handing over the heavenly materials and earthly treasures, while I can only get in halfway. This not only makes the original saint unhappy, but also makes me sit down. The crime of being unruly, I always only listen to half of the sermon...
This is also the reason why he has been worshiping the Chan Cult for many years, and his qualifications are not bad, but he has only been promoted to the realm of immortals, and he has not even learned a few spells!
This time, he encountered Boy Baihe asking for bribes again... For some reason, Shen Gongbao felt a surge of resentment in his heart, and instantly surged up!
"Bai He, are you sure you want to stop me!"
I hope readers will support me a lot! Be sure to order all of them! ~
