The army camped for hundreds of miles, like a winding dragon.
Evil energy, blood energy, murderous energy, etc. constantly gather together to form a special force that covers the sky and the sun and erodes in all directions.
Standing at the open gate of the camp, Xu Hou felt cold in his heart and numb with Chen Shen's gesture of greeting.
Looking at Lu Hou, Lu Hou looked slightly ugly, but his limbs were stiff, like a corpse, unable to move at all. Xu Hou very much hoped that Lu Hou would turn around and run away, so that he could have the name to catch up.
When he can't escape, he will pursue Lu Hou. If he fails, he will be an accomplice, and the first offender is Lu Hou.
It's a pity that Lu Hou didn't do anything, so he gave up.
Xu Hou sighed in his heart, even if he was reluctant and afraid, he did not dare to run at this time.
The princes of Feng Hou were not far away, looking at them, especially Feng Hou who showed a smile. In Xu Hou's opinion, he was completely smiling, and his gaze made Xu Hou feel scared. .
They must be waiting for him to run away, and then they will attack him openly, divide his Taoist soldiers, and then swallow him together with his bones and flesh.
Regret, I really regret it.
Xu Hou forced out a stiff smile, and then stepped forward with extremely high frequency, but each step did not go very far, it was just a small step.
Chen Shenquan didn't know that Xu Hou and Lu Hou were in so much inner drama, so he directly greeted them and took the lead in leading them towards the Chinese army's tent.
Stepping into the military camp, Xu Hou could clearly feel that although the military spirit here was mixed and collided with each other, it was not chaotic and showed a messy state.
This made Xu Hou suppress the fear in his heart. Dou Changsheng had a capable person on his side.
Being able to roughly sort out the nearly 300,000 Taoist soldiers and unify their gathered military strength is no small feat.
After all, these soldiers come from various countries, and they are such a huge force. It is just a matter of being able to properly distribute the camps, ensure the daily supply of food and grass, and maintain stability.
Don't underestimate this. Many Taoist soldiers from various countries have been hostile to each other and have fought in battles. It is normal for them to have conflicts.
And this is exactly the point, because a conflict directly triggered a large-scale armed fight. In the end, the military camp was in chaos, and news flew down. It was believed that the enemy was attacking, and it collapsed for no reason. This is not unreasonable.
There are many other problems such as food rationing, water distribution, etc.?
Being a general only ends when you gather people together. There is a lot of learning in this.
Although the camp cannot be said to be well-organized and has many flaws, it does not affect the overall situation.
After all, there are too many forces involved and the time is too short. It is good enough to be able to achieve this step. After a while, I believe the flaws and loopholes will be made up.
A gray-haired man walked by in front of him, and Chen Shenping took the initiative to greet him: "Mr. Liang."
Liang Gongyu also returned the greeting: "Master Chen."
After a simple salute, both parties parted ways.
Xu Hou also knew who it was. This was Liang Gongyu, a famous scholar in the Ye Kingdom. He had already gained a bad reputation because of his flattery to Dou Changsheng. His reputation was ruined in one day. Now he is Dou Changsheng's retainer and serves as the chief registrar in the coalition army. Responsible for army logistics, food and fodder dispatch, resource rationing, etc.
Being able to manage hundreds of thousands of military camps in an orderly manner is a person with real ability.
It would be great if someone with such strength and talent could come from his country.
Xu Hou sighed in his heart and looked at the large tent of the Chinese army in front of him. He felt uneasy in his heart. He had not experienced this emotion for countless years. The last time he was so scared and uneasy was when his father decided to appoint the heir apparent.
At that time, his biological eldest brother died, and he and his third brother were both commoners. Even though he became the eldest son at this time, because he was not a legitimate son, the final result was in great suspense. When he was waiting for the outcome of his father's marriage, he was also so anxious at that moment.
The curtain of the camp was opened, and Xu Hou, Lu Hou and others walked in. Chen Shenping stood at the door and took the initiative to act as a guard.
The interior layout of the big tent is simple, with wooden floors on the floor and a layer of carpet on top. A map of the countries in the outer world is hanging high. Dou Changsheng is facing away from the map and sitting behind a table with tokens on it. and paperwork.
Dou Changsheng looked at the last group of princes who came. They were the three princes and the five uncles, a total of eight people. They were not weak in strength. They now had more than 100,000 Taoist soldiers. After they swore an oath with him, I believe they would be able to bring so many more by then. , or even more. In this way, these eight people can have more than 300,000 Tao soldiers.
Dou Changsheng asked everyone to sit down and said calmly: "All the kings are nobles, and they are all inherited from their ancestors. As the saying goes, it is difficult to start a business, and it is even more difficult to maintain it."
"There are no hundreds of red flowers. No one knows how many years the family can inherit it."
"The power is great, and hundreds of officials kneel down to welcome it, such as Cao Guogong among the Four Kings and Eight Dukes. Cao Longji has only disappeared for more than a hundred years, and the Cao family has been defeated. Since the top generals have continued to decline, their influence has spread from one hundred and eight continents in the world. , so sluggish that it can only affect one county, just a wealthy family in a district. If Cao Longji does not come out again, the Cao family will be no different from ordinary people for more than a hundred years."
"Even if you have the ability to pass on your family business for another hundred years, two hundred years? Three hundred years?"
"You don't have the ability to come back for another three hundred years, or even two hundred years."
"Nowadays, all the thousand-year-old families in the world are descendants of gods and demons, or have inherited magical weapons. At worst, they are ancestors who have made unparalleled achievements for the human race."
Marquis Xu listened attentively to Dou Changsheng's words, because Xu State had been inherited for more than two hundred years, and according to the normal cycle, Xu State would be defeated in another hundred years or so.
Five hundred years for a unified dynasty, three hundred years for vassal states like theirs.
This is the cycle set by the above. Although it is not an iron law, it can go up and down. If there is a wise king to revive the country, the country of Xu can continue its national destiny for another two to three hundred years.
But Xu Hou is self-aware and does not think that Xu Guo is so powerful. His descendants are capable. Normally, it is normal for each generation to be inferior to the previous generation. It is only a minority for each generation to be stronger than the previous generation.
Strengths such as Ye Country and Qian Country are now in turmoil. Could it be because of the three-hundred-year cycle.
After Dou Changsheng stopped speaking, Xu Hou was willing to take the role of admiration. He stood up and bowed down in a very righteous manner and said: "Please also ask the angels to save my Xu family."
Dou Changsheng was not in the mood to be polite. He had done this kind of thing more than once. The first time, he would compliment each other to create an atmosphere, for fear of making mistakes and causing the plan to fail. Now it was just a routine matter. After all, the trend was established. If they didn't agree, Then Dou Changsheng can naturally change a group, and the Taoist soldiers mobilized by various countries will not decrease.
He spoke frankly and directly: "You guys have been fighting for the rules in the Heaven and the Heaven, the Paradise and the Blessed Land for a long time. You know better than me. If you can get one of the Blessed Lands, this will be a blessing to future generations."
Dou Changsheng stretched out three fingers and said in a deep voice: "Not three years, thirty years, three hundred years."
"But three thousand years."
"Your descendants will enjoy three thousand years of wealth and honor with this legacy."
"And you only need to make a big gamble now. As long as I succeed in seizing the blessed land in the future, I will share this wealth with you."
Dou Changsheng looked at everyone, their eyes gleaming with greed, and some frowned. They were weighing the pros and cons. Dou Changsheng said directly: "Don't think there are risks, and don't dare to take the risk."
"You have to know that since ancient times, you have been able to obtain the wealth that comes from winning the battle for the blessed land."
"No."
"Because none of the participants is a big shot, a direct descendant of gods and demons, or someone who is valued by gods and demons. Without a god or demon to support you, you are not even qualified. How can you compete on behalf of the human race?"
"And I give you this opportunity. If you fully support me and with me as the core, the descendants of the Dou family and your descendants will be rich and prosperous together in the future and enjoy these three thousand years of wealth."
"The risks involved are nothing compared to your profits."
"And you don't need to worry about whether your blood relatives are still alive. Three thousand years is too long."
"It's easy to kill one person, but it's hard to kill a whole clan. And it's even harder to kill everyone. You just need to go back and marry more wives and have more children. In a hundred years, there will be no less than 10,000 descendants. , that’s even less, since there are gods and demons who are fair, there is no need to worry about credibility issues.”
"There will be endless generations of descendants. In the future, if someone wants to cut off your bloodline and abolish this aspect of wealth, there is nothing you can do."
"You also understand the truth. Those who have this ability do not care about this benefit, but those who care about this benefit do not have this ability."
"The tide ebbs and flows, and wealth will not be cut off due to the rise and fall of dynasties."
"In terms of effort, meritorious service, etc., it's all about you."
A sentence interrupted Dou Changsheng, and a fanatical voice sounded:
"Angels don't need to say anything anymore. I am willing to do my best to help angels. Even if it means selling iron and incurring debts, I will still support angels."
"From today on, whatever you say, angel, I will do."
"There are mountains of swords and seas of fire, no words."
Xu Hou completely forgot about the worries and fears he had not long ago, and now he was as enthusiastic as Feng Hou. As long as Dou Changsheng swore an oath to them, then they would naturally dare to do it.
Three thousand years of wealth and honor are now worth it even if they die.
As for the risks of fighting for blessed land?
The human race is powerful. Xu Hou and others thought the same thing. What are the ten thousand races? How can they be compared with the human race? I can’t say that I will win this game 100%, but I definitely have a 60-70% winning rate.
Half the winning rate is very high, let alone more than half. Dou Changsheng's winning rate analysis is completely different from their analysis. They are much higher here, they are so confident.
Marquis Lu was not willing to be left behind, and spoke loudly: "Aren't they the Qian Kingdom and the Qi Kingdom?"
"I am willing to be a pioneer, carry the coffin and go out to fight, and attack the enemy for the angels."
"Do it or die."
"I also want to be a pioneer."
"Go away, I am the vanguard, no one can compete with me."
"I am the pioneer!"
------Digression-----
The power went out for a while, and I hurriedly coded when I got a call. I didn't sleep in the afternoon for fear of an accident. Now I didn't wait for nine o'clock when I was done, so I updated it directly. I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart. I just answered those words. How cool was it yesterday? I was so embarrassed today, but it’s all over now, so I went to bed.
