Revisiting Future Path

Chapter 543 Zhao Di Fengyun (2)

The number of immortals is the shortcoming of the ultimate holy gate.

The level of development in Youzhou and Pingzhou is relatively low, and the population density is far less than the fertile soil of the Central Plains. Even if more longevity seeds are distributed due to the vast area, they are all born in the wilderness and become the welfare of non-human immortals.

Secondly, the entry threshold of the Absolute Sacred Gate is high, and it is not that you are lucky enough to be admitted to the Absolute Sacred Gate with the seeds of longevity.

If advanced immortals later rely on supernatural powers to do evil, the Demon Hall of Absolute Sacred Gate will immediately imprison them as criminals, and those with serious nature will immediately be killed. For the immortals of the neutral order camp, the treatment of the Supreme Sacred Gate is very poor. The Absolute Sacred Gate pursues a distribution system for more work and more rewards. Regardless of whether the immortal or the non-immortal, they must obtain remuneration through labor. Although the implementation of the policy was quite flawed, Wei Dongsheng did his best to maintain these basic principles.

In contrast, Shile, Jiehu Zhaoguo under Shihu’s rule, and Jin family under Sima Yi’s rule, the benefits of the immortal are all superior to others, not only the titles, fields, gold and silver, jewelry, male servants, maidservants and other rewards, and occasional manslaughter. Non-immortal untouchables are also forgivable small mistakes. The immortals live like the middle class under the rule of the Absolute Sacred Gate, but can live like the small aristocratic class under the rule of Jihu Zhaoguo and others. Many lucky and advanced immortals often return to their homes driven by profit.

All these, the Absolute Sacred Gate now has only 256 immortal disciples in total, and its background is not even as good as Xiangguo.

If the staff of the logistics and civil affairs departments are deducted, there are fewer than a hundred permanent survivors in the full-time military. There are only more than fifty immortal fighters in the army besieging Xiangguo. Compared with the 300 immortals gathered by Shihu, it is obviously in a weak position. If Shihu defended the city of Xiangguo, supplemented by the elites of longevity who frequently attacked the logistics and transportation of the Pingyou Army, it would indeed be possible to turn defeat into victory.

However, Wei Dongsheng felt that Shi Hu might not have such determination.

The reason is simple, Shihu's Dragon Qi Favor is about to end. Once Shihu loses the purple dragon energy protection, Wei Dongsheng can use the 10th level immortal cultivation base to launch a sharp knife stab, shredding the joint formation of 300 immortals. Just as a level 5 immortal can use mobility to defeat a group of non-immortal soldiers, Wei Dongsheng can also use the mobility of a level 10 immortal to defeat a group of level 5 immortal. It is important to know that the gap between level 10 immortals and level 5 immortals is even greater than the gap between level 5 immortals and non-immortals.

Wei Dongsheng guessed Shihu wrong, and Shihu actually chose to defend Xiangguocheng.

Of course, the Sacred Gate is not afraid of Shihu's defense. Wei Dongsheng contained Shihu, Wu Wuzuo's phalanx calmly bombarded the Xiangguo city wall, the camp turned into fly ash, and the city wall collapsed into mud. However, it is not easy for Jushenmen to capture Xiangguo City. It should be noted that every 5th level immortal is a super master who can crush the world view of the invincible martial arts in the East. Shihu gathers three hundred immortals, of which 80 or 90 are 5th level immortal and nearly 100 are fourth level immortal. During joint operations, they can not only launch counter-offensives locally, but even have spare capacity to leave the city at night to attack Ping You Army's logistics supplies from a distance.

In order to protect the logistics material channel, Wei Dongsheng did not dare to gather more immortal fighters in Xiangguo City; because he was afraid that Zhuhoumen or Shile would ambush in Xiangguo City, Wei Dongsheng did not dare to rush into the city fortress himself, and the siege of Xiangguo gradually became stalemate. . Considering that Shihu's Dragon Qi Favor is about to end, Wei Dongsheng also tends to stalemate: Since you want to delay time, I will drag you until you lose Dragon Qi Favor.

In order to contain the quantity and quality advantages of Shihu's three hundred immortals, Wei Dongsheng decisively ruled out strategies such as bayonet charge and street fighting, and tried his best to use his artillery advantage to bomb Xiangguo City from a distance.

The purpose of Wei Dongsheng's southern conquest of Jie Hu Zhao country was not to conquer the city. The Ping You Army can consume Shihu in Xiangguo City, which is a strategic success.

Unconsciously, it has been half a year.

At the moment when level 5 immortals are the mainstream, the power of artillery is considerable. Wu Wuzu phalanx bombarded the city wall in an orderly manner, and after seizing the city gate, he continued to bombard all obstacles with artillery from a distance. The three hundred immortals of Shihu wanted to play close combat, but couldn't break through the guards of the immortal under the supervision of Wei Dongsheng; they wanted to play long-range combat, but their long-range attacks were not as reliable as artillery. As time passed, their morale became lower and lower.

In September 348, Shihu saw that Xiang State was bombarded into ruins by artillery, so he had to withdraw more than two hundred immortals from Xiang State and retreated to Yecheng, the national capital.

Shi Hu is still blessed with dragon spirit, and Wei Dongsheng is difficult to catch when he catches up, so he simply allows him to withdraw to Yecheng.

After the conquest of Xiangguo, Wei Dongsheng led the main force to continue to slowly push Yecheng, and only appointed more than 20 longevity people to tour other counties and counties to assist the local rebels to knock out the villains loyal to Shihu. Shihu’s dragon-qi blessing is only one year left, and now Wei Dongsheng is besieged in Yecheng, and the people of the prefecture and county clans have gathered to respond to the Supreme Sacred Gate. Ran Min's work in Qingzhou and Yanzhou is also very smooth. After he joined more than 20 longevity people, the four states of Qing, Yan, Henan, and Hebei changed color instantly, and the three states of Si, Yong, and Bing also ended because of the lack of a leader. confusion.

Wei Dongsheng's original goal of curbing the mad killing of Shihu has been completely achieved.

In December 348, there was a sudden change in Binzhou. It was Shihu's direct soldiers and some longevity cronies who quietly gathered in Taiyuan County, suspected of launching a counterattack from the direction of Bingzhou.

In other words, when Shihu frantically slaughtered the people of his country, the six states of Qing, Yan, Yu, Ji, Si, and Yong suffered from it, but the order of the merged states remained unchanged. Although there was a period of chaos in Bingzhou, Shihu purposefully eliminated dissidents and replaced Bingzhou officials with his reliable confidants.

When Shihu retired to Yecheng, at least half of his family members were transferred and the state was on standby. The Supreme Sacred Sect executives once thought that Shihu might retreat to Bingzhou and use the Mandate of Heaven mechanism to survive the massive attack of the Sacred Sect. Everyone had never expected that Shihu had been guarding Yecheng for several months, and Bingzhou had only made a move.

Good news came from thistle.

Murong Jair's dragon-qi transfer experiment lasted for several years and was on the road, but Lu Xun never officially broke through the level 5 barrier. Until October 349, the Dragon Qi of the Xianbei Yan Kingdom of the Murong Tribe was transferred from Murong Jair to his second son, Murong Jun, and the Dragon Qi transfer experiment was still in an awkward position. Just as the project members were frustrated, Murong Jah died suddenly. When Murong Jie died, Lu Xun instantly smashed the level 5 shackles and advanced to the third level 6 immortal in the history of the Supreme Sacred Gate.

Murong Jai's death after the escape of dragon qi should be a necessary condition for the transfer of dragon qi.

In any case, Lu Xun finally advanced to Level 6 Immortal.

Wei Dongsheng was short of manpower and decisively sent Lu Xun to Bingzhou to monitor the movement of Shihu's direct soldiers. Lu Xun soon sent a report saying that Shihu’s family members continued to gather in Taiyuan County, and they dared not slack off for a day, suspected of preparing to raid the Monan grassland.

But unexpectedly, for several months, Shihu's family members kept preparing for battle in Taiyuan County.

Shi Hu didn't seem to know that there was a reliable force in Bingzhou, and continued to guard Yecheng blankly.

Wei Dongsheng became more confused about Shihu's purpose.

After much deliberation, Wei Dongsheng simply responded to the changes without changing, and ordered Wu Wuzu's phalanx to continue to bombard Yecheng.

The siege of Yecheng was deadlocked until the end of May 349, when the dragon spirit of Jiehu Zhao's country suddenly transferred to Shishi, the son of Shihu. Shi Shi was only ten years old. Two years ago, the Shihu guardian barely merged the seeds of longevity, and now he is only a 1st level longevity. The 1st level immortal controls the purple dragon, even if it has the four-level reduction feature when encountering the enemy, it can only withstand the attacks of the 5th level immortal at most.

The purple dragon spirit is in the hands of Shi Shi, and it has existed in name only.

Without the purple dragon energy shelter, Jiehu Zhaoguo has only one 7th-level immortal Shihu and four 6th-level immortal generals.

The moment Shi Hu lost his dragon spirit, Wei Dongsheng suddenly launched a general attack.

After some chaos, Jueshengmen worked hard to catch Shi Shi.

Unfortunately, Shihu ran away!

As expected, Shihu had other ideas. Since the siege of Xiangguo, Shihu has secretly moved outside the city with Xiangguo and Yecheng as the center to test whether Wei Dongsheng can accurately detect his hiding place through the dragon gas induction. After carefully verifying Wei Dongsheng's limitations, Shi Hu then defended himself in Yecheng, but actually quietly moved his nest outside the city.

For Yu Shihu, losing the dragon qi also lost his shackles, and outsiders would never want to find his hiding place by watching the dragon qi.

The Siege of Xiang Kingdom and the Siege of Yecheng were both Shihu's taboo of the dragon energy that went straight into the sky, deliberately deceiving the Sacred Gate by "not moving". After losing the dragon's spirit, Shihu decisively abandoned his nest outside the city and fled to the true nest where no one knew where he was.

It turned out that Shihu had no idea of ​​defending Yecheng.

In addition to his own escape route already arranged, Shi Hu also arranged a back road for his sons who have a deep atmosphere such as Shi Zun, Shi Jian, and Shi Yi. Shi Shi is the true dragon of Jiehu Zhao Country after Shihu. The dragon's energy rushed into the sky, unable to hide, he could only regretfully stay in Yecheng to attract the Supreme Sacred Gate. Shi Zun, Shi Jian, Shi Yi, etc., whose blessings of Dragon Qi had not yet been revealed, fled to Yongzhou and Bingzhou in March and April respectively. Shi Hu even instructed Liu Xian, Fu Hong, Zhang Ju, Wang Wu and other four 6th-level immortals, once he lost his dragon qi, the four immediately returned to Shi Zun, Shi Jian, and Shi Zhi.

Shi Hu did have the idea of ​​relying on the destiny mechanism to resist the Absolute Sacred Gate. This was the task he left to Shi Shi, Shi Zun, Shi Jian, and Shi Yi.

It takes less than a year to watch the dragon's luck in Shishi.

Only those who are favored by the Dragon Qi can "hold the king with the constitution in his mouth." Only Shi Shi is the only one, and the Supreme Sacred Gate cannot puppet Jiehu Zhao for a long time. After Jiehu Zhao's dragon energy is transferred to Shi Zun, Shi Jian, Shi Yi, etc., the three sons will be able to control the dragon energy to desperately curse the Sacred Gate and gain a buffer time for Shi Hu.

A few days later, news came from Bingzhou: Shihu absconded to Taiyuan County. The proletariat was divided into two, and the infantry and a few cavalry were left to Shizun to guard Taiyuan County. The rest of the elite cavalry were led by Shihu himself and moved west. .

More than ten days later, the news became more precise: Shihu commanded five thousand elite cavalrymen and crossed the Yellow River on five horses. After taking a rest in Shuofang County, Shihu continued to move westward along the water and grass, suspecting to completely abandon the foundation of the Central Plains.
