night.
Keeping the heart in confusion is the sign of using swords and weapons.
Qunyu County, the county chief's mansion.
Xiong Yong and a group of confidants discussed important matters in the main hall.
"Your Majesty, we have a total of two million people in the eight counties. If we go all out, we can have 200,000 soldiers. There are five wandering generals in total. Meishan and ghosts will not interfere with the chaos among the living people. This is the Shenhou decided.
As long as we take advantage of the king's expedition to capture Danyang and conquer all the tribes, we have a high probability of winning. "
When the king returns, he will be alone. If he does not accept his fate, the Chu State will suffer heavy losses and even risk splitting.
By then Xiong Yong can successfully ascend the throne.
After hearing this plan, Xiong Yong knew it was very risky, and even put his treasure in his father's hands. In order to take the overall situation into consideration, he chose to admit defeat.
But Xiong Yong knew that it would be too late if he didn't take action. He had been the heir for nearly two hundred years, and now he had entered old age. If he continued like this, he would eventually die in depression.
"This is a military admonishment."
Xiong Yong thought.
Usurping the throne Secondly, Xiong Yong knew that the probability of his failure was very high, but he just wanted to make his father realize the importance of the county system.
The county system is the most powerful sword in the hands of the monarch.
Even if the king is a mortal with no power, he can still control the country.
"Raise troops!"
The army marched into Danyang, using the title of Crown Prince and chanting standard slogans of respecting gods and protecting people.
Yuhou County, Chenghuang Temple, the county town god is Ji Li, the ghost woman in the hundred beautiful pictures. Next to the woman is a beautiful woman with fish gills on both cheeks. This is the ancestor of the Long family, the dragon spirit, the first batch of adults. One of the men of God is currently the City God of Youyu County.
"Are we just going to watch them go to the point of no return?"
Ji Li asked.
This is an impossible battle to win.
Most people can see that winning is difficult.
"Look at it, people like us who have become ghosts should not get involved in human affairs."
Many people think that the king of Chu can command ghosts and gods with his words.
In fact, whether ghosts and gods take action mainly depends on the instructions of the gods. It is impossible for the dead to participate in the affairs between living people.
Under normal circumstances, except for performing the duties of the divine prince, he basically does not interfere in the human world.
Of course, their lives are not too boring, and they occasionally disguise themselves secretly and travel to the human world.
The transformation of a living person into a god is called becoming a god in the flesh. This kind of person can hold other human positions in addition to his own duties, and has a certain degree of autonomy.
Don't blame Tang Ping for his double standards. In his opinion, it is best not to affect each other between the dead and the living.
Although Xiong Ying Zhuman in the underworld is the former king, he has not given any instructions for hundreds of years.
The army attacked all the way. Unexpectedly, the troops of Xiong Yong and others were extremely powerful.
If the integration of the country and the countryside in Chu State made the overall combat effectiveness of the army stronger, then Xiong Yong's county system made the army more closely coordinated.
Government orders were passed down from level to level without any hindrance, and after the death of the general, the deputy general took over.
Even with heavy casualties, it still retains strong combat effectiveness.
Xiang Yi.
Xiong Yong holds a spear and is bathed in fire. He is surrounded by young elites from the dragon, Xiang, Yu and Shu tribes.
"kill!"
The fire was soaring into the sky, and the murderous intent was fierce.
The city gate was on fire, and the defender simply surrendered.
"I surrender, Xiong Yong, you will regret it." The guard is a member of Doctor Xiang's clan, and the Xiang family is a branch of Xiong Man's brothers.
"You don't understand." Xiong Yong was too lazy to talk nonsense and ordered his men to tie up the guard.
"Don't make small moves."
"That's right," the guard said disdainfully.
It was all a conflict between father and son, so he didn't bother to get involved, so as not to make himself a human being inside and out.
If it weren't for the fear of being questioned by the king, he would have surrendered early.
Xiang Yi captured, followed by Zhaoyi and Tuyi.
The resistance of these Xiong clan branches is not very strong. In their opinion, they are all one family anyway, so that's pretty much it.
On the contrary, other alien races resisted fiercely.
The birth of the county system made them feel a crisis.
The king did not seal the territory, but held it tightly in his hands. In this way, wouldn't the king's strength become stronger and stronger?
As for Xiong Yong, the guy who advocated the county system, they thought he was guilty of such a heinous crime that they wanted to kill him eight hundred times.
Both sides fought bloody battles on the plains.
They were once very close comrades-in-arms, but now they have become enemies.
"The king is a divinely appointed one, the one who shepherds and protects all peoples. There is only the king's land in the world, not your family's land!"
In the sky, Xiong Yong said loudly.
The two doctors opposite looked at each other, and they could see the fear in each other's eyes.
If this person is allowed to ascend the throne, what's the point?
This child must not be kept!
Both sides fought to the death.
Meishan, the news reached Meishan.
"Master Mei, do you want to stop it?" Du Yu said.
"Ask the Lord God."
Zhang Wulang opened the altar and used tortoise shells to burn out patterns.
After a long time, the tortoise shell cracked.
Zhang Wulang took a look and said, "The Lord Shen will let us decide for ourselves."
"What's the meaning?"
"It doesn't matter whether I help or not."
Zhang Wulang knew that Shenhou was not the kind of god who would hide his thoughts and let his ministers figure out his intentions.
Ignoring it means ignoring it, letting them make their own decision means making their own decision, and they will not play any tricks of liquidation afterwards.
"Let's interfere." Zhang Wulang made the decision.
If you don't take a stand, you are acquiescing to this matter, and this matter will definitely happen in the future.
Xiong Yong's army marched all the way to Danyang.
When the troops approached the city, the two armies faced each other.
Under night, the torches spread hundreds of miles.
Strangers on both sides floated into the sky. There were no ghosts or gods in this battle, it was just a fight between mortals.
The guard of Danyang is Feng Shangqing.
This man has white hair and a strong wind around him.
Xiong Yong raised his hand and was about to order the army to attack.
Suddenly, a man walked out from behind the city wall guard.
This man was wearing a red robe, with a long beard and red eyes. The moment they saw this man, everyone was shocked, like a fire dragon baring its teeth and claws.
This is Xiong Ba, the king who expanded his territory, defeated his old enemy Wu Kingdom, created the body of Zhu Rong, and changed the blood curse.
A king whose achievements far exceed those of his ancestors.
The moment Xiong Ba appeared, Meishan's navy was overwhelming, flying in like a flock of birds, and there was a steady stream of troops.
"Father, you..." Xiong Yong was shocked.
"Me? Why am I here, huh? Do you think I'm blind? Can't see these little tricks?" Xiong Ba lamented his misfortune and was angry.
Yuan Chi stood beside him. If nothing unexpected happened, it must be his plan.
"Sure enough, I'm still useless in your eyes." Xiong Yong laughed miserably.
The appearance of Xiong Ba and Mei Shan's support instantly caused the rebels to lose their fighting spirit and put down their weapons.
Xiong Yong looked at his father and his younger brothers, and thought of his hard work and hard work on the frontier for a hundred years, and he lost his mind for a moment.
Perhaps, I have never been taken seriously.
Otherwise, the border areas would not be left unattended for hundreds of years.
Hearing Xiong Yong's words, Xiong Ba suppressed the anger in his heart, and the oppressive pressure disappeared in a flash, saying: "I don't care what correct ideas you have, but you should never, never should. Turn the enemy Use your methods against your own people."
At the end of the sentence, Xiong Ba was too lazy to talk about this. He waved his hands helplessly and said: "Forget it, let's just go ahead and capture him. His status as the heir apparent will be revoked. He will sit in front of the wall and think about his mistakes. He will not be able to leave the house for the rest of his life."
It's not that Xiong Ba doesn't pay attention to his eldest son, but he deliberately trains his abilities in all aspects and ignores him in order to make him independent.
Unexpectedly, his character went to extremes.
Lifespan is not a problem. Xiong Yong almost breaks through the Qi refining process. Xiong Ba has already prepared the materials for him to break through. He will also help him realize Zhu Rong's body at the cost of losing his vitality.
Unexpectedly, this boy Xiong Yong went to an extreme.
"slow!!"
"don't want!"
At this time, there were exclamations from the crowd.
I saw Xiong Yong pull out the sword from his waist and kill himself with the sword.
puff!
Blood spilled all over the floor.
"Haha, father, is my sword sharp?"
With a pun, Xiong Yong hinted at how his troops were doing.
This time it was both a usurpation of the throne and a military remonstrance.
It doesn't matter whether it succeeds or not, just let the father see the power of the county's soldiers.
Zhang Wulang stepped forward to rescue him, but Xiong Yong was determined to die and had severed his meridians before committing suicide.
The soul returns to the earth.
"Hmph, you deserve to die! Leader, you can handle it on your own. You all can follow me into the palace." Xiong Ba snorted coldly.
He acted as if nothing had happened, but inside he was filled with fear.
Fear of the future, if the heir dies, who can take on the big responsibility?
This fear outweighed the pain of losing a child.
Qunyu Mountain.
The Yao Ji girl hugged the pigeon, took out the letter on the pigeon, and read it word by word. There were some typos in the middle, but Peony corrected them in a soft voice.
Compared to Yao Ji's ignorance, Mu Dan saw something was wrong and did not expect such a thing to happen at the foot of the mountain.
"A tiger father can only mate a dog son." Tang Ping sighed.
If the father is too strong, the pressure on the heir will be greater.
Especially if the father's life span is very long and the heir has great ambitions, the heir will feel suppressed throughout his life. Something will happen over time.
One of the two must sacrifice, either the father abdicates, or the heir is completely ruined and left to die.
But in this case, he may die faster. Xiong Ba has extremely high demands on his son, and if he fails, he may be subject to more severe discipline.
All in all, the only solution is for Xiong Ba to make a sacrifice.
"Master, why are you..." Mudan said cautiously.
The title "Master" was also proposed and requested by Tang Ping. Calling him "Master" is closer than calling a god, and it is suitable for people who serve him.
"Why didn't I stop it? It can't be stopped. Human beings will remember it deeply after being taught a lesson."
Suffering is a process that a civilization must go through.
If you are not taught a lesson, you will continue to do it in the future.
If they help, it will probably make them path dependent, and they will not ask the gods when they encounter problems. Generations of rulers will be useless. The consequence of this is that the gods will be bound to the world.
Like merchants from Dayi, kings have to ask ghosts and gods for everything, and ghosts also give random orders to the mortal world. Regardless of big or small matters, they must first sacrifice to the gods, which leads to a set of complicated rules.
Many people died as a result, and many small tribes perished and became savages.
Regardless of the fact that most of the people in the Chu State were composed of barbarians, there were actually very few true barbarians, and those who traced their origin were at least a noble.
Palace of the King of Chu.
Five ministers and twenty officials gathered together.
"What do you think about the county system?" Xiong Ba looked around and took in everyone's expressions one by one.
As soon as this statement came out, everyone immediately exploded. Everyone said something to me, and most of them had objections.
Everyone works hard to conquer the world for the sake of glory and wealth and the continuation of their family.
Now that all the land they conquered belongs to the monarch, wouldn't their work have been in vain?
"No, the county system is a temporary solution for the border areas and cannot be implemented nationwide. You can rest assured." Xiong Ba asked back, "The eight counties look prosperous now. If they were allocated to you and let you run them, how would you do it? Who else is willing?"
Everyone thought about it. The eight counties were extremely poor at the beginning, and other barren lands at least had some output. Those eight counties had nothing but miasma and bad water, making it difficult for people to survive.
The current prosperity of the eight counties is also the result of the continuous support of many gods and kings. If they were to run it, it would probably not change for a hundred years, and it would be a drag on their own family.
Xiong Ba asked questions and calmed everyone down.
The ministers dispersed.
In the dead of night, Xiong Ba's eyes were dim and his tall figure looked very lonely in the dark and silent darkness.
"Did i do something wrong?"
Xiong Ba didn't know that maybe it was his excessive demands that put Xiong Yong on the road of no return.
A son does not have to be like his father. Each generation has its own mission.
Afterwards, Xiong Ba made his second son, Xiong Ban, the crown prince. Xiong Ban was completely free-range. He had a gentle and kind personality, could unite his brothers, and could be regarded as a loyal king.
Or if you raise them again, if you live a long life, you might have offspring with extraordinary talents.
The head of Qunyu County changed his position and was replaced by Xiong Ban. After Tang Ping thought twice, he awarded the position of County God to this person.
A few days later.
Hades.
There was a strong wind, and a golden light fell under the banyan tree.
Black smoke bursts, and human figures emerge.
In the Tong Tower under the banyan tree, a ghost with a stern appearance walked out of it.
This person is Zhang Fu, the Marquis of Youshuting.
And it was Xiong Yong who walked out of the ghost mist. Xiong Yong still had a bright red scar on his neck.
What happens in the mortal world has already been spread among the ghosts and gods in the underworld.
Zhang Fu didn't say anything, but patted Xiong Yong on the shoulder and said: "The fate is over, it's over. Let's start again."
"Thank you, senior. This junior knows." Xiong Yong had met Zhang Fu when he was a child. Now he saw his old friend again, and he felt a little moved in his heart.
Huhuhu...
Two more dark winds flew in.
The people left behind were Xiong Ying and Xiong Man.
"The ancestors are here to pick you up, go quickly." Zhang Fu looked strange and seemed a little unable to hold himself tight.
Xiong Yong was confused, but he still followed his ancestors and left.
Suddenly, there were crackling slaps and Xiong Yong's screams not far away.
Yes, this is the tradition of the Xiong family. Anyone who does not do well in the mortal world will become a big mouth. Xiong Man was treated like this at the beginning, and now Xiong Yong is treated like this.
After some turmoil, calm returned again.
War and sacrifice remain unchanged.
As the center of the war, Peng State attracted various countries to participate in the war, and it has become a meat grinder.
On the top of a group of jade mountains, there has been silence for eternity.
One god, two maids, and one frog, living in boredom for spring and autumn.
Twelve years later.
boom!
