Chapter 705: The Strategy of Swallowing the World


Chapter 705: The Strategy of Swallowing the World

In the court of Chu State, the monarchs and ministers were all thinking about the impact of the news brought back by Lord Yun Zhong on Chu State.

For the Chu State, the mountain spirits and water monsters, with their strength and lifespan far exceeding that of ordinary people, are a great help to the Chu State no matter what direction they are used in - but that is not subject to any rules. The unruly people restrained by laws are also a burden to the Chu State.

The demon clan, from the demon gods to the spirits, are unwilling to accept the constraints of any laws because it goes against the tradition of their demon clan.

So the kings and ministers of Chu State have always loved and hated those mountain spirits and water monsters. They wanted to use their power, but they didn't know how to do it and didn't dare to try.

But now, the demon gods of the Chu State expressed their willingness to have Lord Yun Zhong manage those mountain spirits and water monsters, and to let Lord Yun Zhong punish those mountain spirits and water monsters.

Both management and punishment mean one thing.

That is, the three demon gods in the Chu Kingdom still intend to establish a set of rules belonging to the demon clan in the Chu Kingdom.

It is unknown what the rules are - but as long as there are rules, it is a good thing for going abroad as a whole.

As long as they have rules, the Chu State will naturally be able to summarize the rules belonging to the demon clan through Yun Zhongjun's punishment of those mountain spirits and water monsters, and then use these rules to establish the use of the demon clan A stable channel of power, truly integrating the demon clan into the power system of the Chu State, truly turning the demon clan into a part of the Chu Kingdom.

Of course, this is the follow-up after the battle for hegemony.

What is really important right now is the fight for hegemony.

When the demon gods were persuaded by Lord Yun Zhong and were willing to restrain the mountain spirits and water monsters to show their support for Chu's hegemony, the kings and ministers of Chu were able to send troops without any scruples. In addition, to participate in the competition among the princes and overlords.

"Your Majesty, those who fight for the country are strong and show their weakness.",

"This time, the princes of the Central Plains are fighting in chaos, and other princes have many plans against our country of Chu, or It’s to appease me, or it’s to lure our country of Chu into the situation.”

"Especially the Jin State, in order to bring our Chu State into the situation, they will ally with the princes in the name of our country and resume their dominance."

"And what they rely on is nothing more than the demon god of our Chu State, who refuses to be controlled."

"Now the demon gods in the country are willing to be restrained - this matter should be kept secret."

"In this way, when our country enters a dispute, the Jin State will provide convenience to our country, while other princes, Even if they knew that the Jin State intended to exaggerate our country's power, they would happily watch and let the Jin State suffer in order to weaken the Jin State's power, and then form an alliance with the Jin State," General Xiang Ping said solemnly, looking at the important ministers in the palace. The tiger passed by with eager eyes.

“Under the changes caused by the demon god, the power our country can use must far exceed everyone’s expectations.”

"Your Majesty, if this matter is handled properly, our Chu State may be able to take the opportunity given by the Jin State and defeat the Jin State in one battle, and then bring the power of the collapse of the Jin State to dominate the princes. One battle will determine a thousand years of hegemony. "

It can only be said that he is worthy of being a general in charge of conquest. In just a moment, he had already used this news to start planning for the war, and in a moment, he became angry. The plan to swallow up the world.

Under this eager gaze, all the officials in the palace were terrified.

The importance of what Xiang Ping mentioned is self-evident.

If the news about the demon god can be kept secret, then other princes, including the Jin State who is determined to lure Chu State into the situation, will have their estimates of Chu State’s power far lower than what Chu State can actually use. strength.

If the story of the demon god is known to other princes, then they will have an estimate of the actual power that Chu State can use.

For such things, there are predictions and not predictions, preparations and no preparations, which are completely different concepts - if there is preparation, Jin will make alliances with the princes early, and other vassal states, They will also stop watching the excitement first, and then encircle the Chu State. In this way, even if the Chu State can win, the price it will have to pay will be far beyond expectations, and the results it will achieve will be far beyond expectations. less than expected.

On the other hand, if the other princes did not estimate the power that Chu could use and were less prepared, then if Chu attacked with all its strength, it would really be possible, as Xiang Ping said, He won a great victory over the Jin State in the battle, then coerced the Jin State's defeated army, chased them north, and directly defeated the Jin State before the other princes could react.

The Jin Kingdom, no matter how declining it is, is still the overlord of the vassal states today. If other vassal states want to challenge the position of the overlord, they must unite with each other and test carefully. No one dares to take the lead. .

Under such circumstances, if the Chu State could defeat the Jin State in one battle, one can imagine what kind of impact it would have on the other princes.

Under such circumstances, even if the Chu State is colluding with the Monster Clan, even if the Chu State is ostracized by other princes, when the Chu State has made it clear that it wants to become the overlord and allied with the princes, there are a few princes who dare to attack Chu Say no in front of the country?

One battle will determine hegemony. One can imagine how big an achievement this is.

The Xiang family is also a royal family of the Chu State, and they share weal and woe with the Chu State - and if the hegemony can be determined in one battle, Xiang Ping, who leads this battle, will surely be engraved in the history of the human race. superior.

No mortal can refuse such a temptation.

Therefore, the ministers in the palace had no doubt that the general in front of them, who was in the same rank as them, had silenced them all in order to block the news and to build his own achievements and the hegemony of Chu State. Mind - because it must have this mind.

While the ministers were panicking, King Xiong Xin of Chu in the palace was also hesitant.

It is true that what the general proposed is a very tempting and quite feasible strategy.

But the risks of this strategy are naturally self-evident.

If the whole country moves, success will be achieved. However, if the news is leaked and the offensive does not go smoothly, or the demon gods and the immortal sects in the Chu Kingdom suddenly cause chaos, then the Chu Kingdom will follow for thousands of years. It may be difficult to turn over.

So, do you want to bet?

Bet the news won't leak out.

Bet Yun Zhongjun and the three demon gods can control the mountain spirits and water monsters in the country, and they can also hide the immortal sects in the country.

“The Immortal Sect in the country has connections with thousands of people and makes good friends with all countries.”

“The whole country is moving and the army is out. If you want to block the news, there must be no one in the army. Any cultivator."

"Otherwise, if those cultivators know what is happening in our country of Chu, it will be equivalent to those of the immortal sects."

"If the Immortal Sect knows it, it means the whole world knows it."

As he said that, Xiong Xin's eyes fell on Xiang Ping again.

"Xiang Qing, with human strength, can our army of Jingchu defeat the immortals of Jin?"

"I, I will risk my own life and fight to the death. Fight." Xiang Ping said.

Before the war begins, it is all lies to say whether we can win or not - but after the war begins, as long as the army does not disperse and the military power surges, even if the gods are involved, they will definitely die.

"Qu Qing, if the whole country is mobilized, can Lord Yunzhong and the demons and gods hide it from the practitioners in the country?"

This question is superficially asking Qu Jie as the chief priest, but in fact , but it was Yun Zhongjun who he asked.

Obviously, Xiong Xin already has an inclination in his heart about whether to implement the strategy proposed by Xiang Ping.

If you can guarantee that the news will not leak out, then do something big. If you can't guarantee it, then honestly follow the original plan and slowly encroach on the Central Plains in order to achieve hegemony.

In the cave sky, Lord Yun Zhong was also pondering, thinking about how to hide this from the many cultivators in the Chu Kingdom, and how to hide it from the heaven.

From his standpoint, he is naturally willing to see the Chu Kingdom ascend to the sky in one step and become the overlord in one battle - only in this way can the entire Chu Kingdom, with full self-confidence, peek at Jiuding without worrying. A peek at the backlash caused by Jiuding. If they follow the step-by-step attitude and become the overlord through alliance, then the other princes will not be so 'fearful' towards the Chu State. Under such circumstances, if the Chu State peeks at Jiuding, it will give If other princes use excuses, it cannot be said that other princes, such as Qi, Jin, etc., must use this as an excuse to reunite with the princes and push Chu back to the land of Jingchu.

Although the situation in heaven and earth has changed now, those Da Luo who have returned from Guixu are not necessarily enemies - but in any case, moving Jiuding to Chu There is nothing wrong with the most dangerous place in the country.

Having a sword in hand but not using it and being unarmed are completely different concepts and have nothing to do with faith.

However, with the army gathering and moving, how can we block this news?

The immortals and gods who fill the sky and the countless practitioners traveling around the world are not deaf or blind.

“Perhaps, we can start from the demon clan.” After a moment, Yun Zhongjun’s eyes fell on Xiong Ba.

This immortal god who can be called the source of the Chu Kingdom's bloodline has never left the cave in the clouds, but continues to stay in the cave as a guest - the same is true for Wu Ling.

According to what they said, some breath originating from Taiyi can be detected in this cloud cave.

For their demon clan, such a breath has great significance.

"Old Xiong, tell me, if we put on a show, can we hide it from the immortals and gods in the Chu Kingdom?"

"It's just a show, I'm afraid it won't work." In an instant, Wu Ling I understood what Yun Zhongjun meant.

“If you want to hide the truth from the sky, you have to make a fake show.”

“Only when our demon tribe takes action, the immortal sects and immortal gods in the Chu Kingdom will turn their attention. When it comes to leaving the human race - then, with the help of the power of humanity and incense as a cover, the kings and ministers of Chu can quietly mobilize the power of the country into the chaos of the Central Plains, and unexpectedly win the battle. "

“However, since it is a fake show, what if the fake show also becomes a real show?”

"With the restraints of the immortals and gods, if the Chu army turns against them and strikes again - all the monsters here will be turned into powder."

"Yun Zhongjun, who can cooperate with the Chu army, will order You have restrained and punished the demons of the Chu Kingdom. We have already made concessions. How dare you go further and risk our lives?”

“What the Goddess of Wushan said is wrong.” The king in the middle looked surprised, "The plot of the kings and ministers of the Chu State is not about the Chu State's Zuo?" Or if those immortal sects suddenly rebelled, wouldn’t the Chu Kingdom Zuo be destroyed in one fell swoop?” .”

"Why don't I bet my life?"

"You two, in this game, each other is gambling with their lives."

"If it succeeds, it will be Three wins - the Chu State has achieved hegemony, I may see an opportunity for Daluo, but you, don't be too careful. The victory can also tie the relationship between the demon clan and the human clan closer."

"And from now on, the Chu Kingdom and the demon clan will no longer have to worry about suspicion and guard against each other."

“Isn’t this bad?”

"But if you don't gamble, there will be no loss for us, right?" At this time, Xiong Ba hid aside and allowed Wu Ling to talk to Yun Zhongjun.

"Is there really no loss?" Yun Zhongjun asked.

“Since Emperor Xin of Yin, the demon clan has been trying to integrate into the human race - this myth of Taiyi has been rooted in the Chu Kingdom for nearly ten thousand years and is not allowed to expand. Outside of Chu, other The princes rarely take Taiyi seriously, and they don't take the Monster Clan seriously."

"But if the Chu State becomes overwhelming and becomes hegemonic in one step, the Monster Clan will hold on to the Chu State. The order can be implemented in the human world, and the influence of the demon clan and the myth of Taiyi also arise from the Chu Kingdom and spread to the human world."

"How much effort does this save the demon clan? ”

"It is Wu Ling, you and Zao Ge, two Taoist friends, who can take this opportunity even if you don't think so, to grasp the mysteries of human nature, and gain a glimpse of Daluo's opportunities."

"Things we deserve, because of each other's Isn’t it a loss to be jealous but unable to get it?”

“When the kings and ministers of the Chu Kingdom in the human world see an opportunity for supremacy and are unable to obtain it because of the suspicion of the demon clan, will they be jealous of the demon clan? Resentment, passed down from generation to generation? ”

“Hegemony cannot be achieved, and the kings and ministers of the Chu State have no choice but to internalize—under the suspicion and resentment passed down from generation to generation, their internal purge will have a negative impact on the demon clan. , Or will they deal with those Immortal Sects? "

"A few of them have worked hard for thousands of years in Chu State to achieve the current situation, but due to a moment of suspicion, they were destroyed in one moment, and there will be endless troubles. "

"Is this a trouble in the future?"

"Fellow Taoist Wu Ling, since you have begun to trust the human world, why don't you just believe it to the end, but you have to hesitate and let that hope, if There seems to be nothing, so what should be friends with each other ends up being enemies? "

"What's the use of speaking beautifully?"

"You dare to bet on this? Do you trust him?" Wu Ling stared at Yun Zhongjun with his narrow eyes.

“Give us the demon tribe a gateway to the cave in the clouds, and then we, the demon tribe, will naturally make a move to besiege the cave.”

"At that time, the princes of Chu will have the immortals and gods gather here to help the cave in the clouds. They will be entangled with each other. Coupled with the cover of the incense, the traces of the mobilization of the army will naturally be covered up."

"But I, the demon tribe, hold the portal of Dongtian in my hand, I can break through Dongtian at any time, kill you Yunzhongjun, and take the authority of Yunzhongjun instead."

"Do you dare to bet? ?”

“I bet that our demon tribe is besieging Yunzhongdongtian to cooperate with the Chu State’s military strength, not because we really want to take your life.”

“Why don’t you dare? "Yun Zhongjun said immediately.

Wu Ling was at a loss for words - the cave in the clouds is the foundation of the immortal Yun Zhongjun. After the path of the Five Immortals, this cave is also the mysterious support of the immortals who join the earth. How important is the cave in the clouds? One can imagine.

Wu Ling originally thought that after his proposal, even if Yun Zhongjun would not reject it, he would still hesitate.

At that time, I will naturally be able to use Yunzhongjun’s own attitude to speak for myself - even you, Yunzhongjun yourself, don’t dare to bet on the word trust in this Yunzhongdongtian. Why? Let us monster clan, what about the monster clan of Chu land bet on these two words?

But who would have thought that Yun Zhongjun would agree without hesitation.

No, how dare he!

This is the cave in the clouds, the place of his foundation.

And at this moment, both himself and Xiong Ba had exposed the significance of the Cave in the Cloud to the demon clan, and also revealed the possibility of the demon clan planning to seize the Cave in the Cloud.

But even so, Yun Zhongjun still agreed to his casual suggestion without hesitation.

Wu Ling fell silent for a moment.
