Chapter 711 Aiming for the Championship
Luoyi was already in chaos at this time.
From the king to the people of the country, they are all extremely panicked.
Even students, sages, etc. from various schools are already sorting out the school's classics and so on, planning to transfer them to other places - after all, it is the State of Chu that came with the army. .
It was the Chu State that was regarded as a barbarian and considered itself a barbarian.
Other princes will care about the respect of the human king, and will respect the sages and students of the school, but Chu will not care about these...
Chu only cares about force!
"Mo Qing, hasn't there been any response from the Chu State?" The human king sat high inside the palace wall, worried - the wind outside the palace wall seemed to be shaken by the flag, so what? The footsteps coming and going are like the drum beat of the marching army.
The army of Chu State marched from the Yidu of Jin State to Luoyi. Along the way, they drew a straight line on the land.
Before the army, no matter which city it was, or which vassal state the city belonged to, when the army was marching, the city gates were opened and supplies were taken out, for fear of hindering the progress of the army. , which led the army to attack the city brazenly.
As for the immortal sects lying on the road, the Taiyi Immortals and Gods within them also joined forces to use the method of moving mountains, moving their own mountain gates out of the way, and waited until the Chu army passed by. The mountain gate was moved back - he was obviously just an overlord, but now, with the cooperation of various princes and human sects, the new king of Chu State actually showed a bit of a human king.
As we move forward, the mountains move, the rivers temporarily merge, and in all directions, countless immortals and gods come and go, cleaning away all evil spirits.
Behind the Chu army, there was a coalition of many princes, with inexplicable looks and inexplicable orders following the Chu army - even the soldiers and the soldiers who were sent The princes who came here didn't know what the purpose of these large armies hanging behind the Chu State was.
Are you surrendering to the Chu State, joining the Chu State in its upcoming attack on Luoyi, or are you putting pressure on the Chu State - once the Chu State and the King of Ren mobilize their troops, they will launch an attack on the Chu State attack.
In short, when the first prince thoughtlessly sent his soldiers to follow the Chu army, the other princes who were also confused also sent out He took part of the soldiers and followed the Chu State.
After all, everyone does it. If you don’t do it, wouldn’t you become a minority?
Once they become a minority among the princes, if the Chu State intends to use a prince to intimidate the king, these "minority" princes will inevitably fall into the eyes of the Chu State.
The envoy who followed the King of Chu and came with the mission of the King of Chu looked more and more worried as he looked at the increasing number of princes who had shown "surrender" to the Chu Kingdom.
Is it possible that the destiny of the human king will change at this time?
But no matter whose calculation it is, Ji Zhou's destiny of human king is clearly not yet ready to collapse - if there is an immortal god who is proficient in looking at Qi, looking up at Luoyi, You can even see the looming Human King Tianzhu hidden in the aura of humanity, like a divine needle that stabilizes the sea.
"The king is leading his troops to Luoyi. What do you want?"
"It's not like we really want to meet His Majesty the Human King in battle and trample the dignity of the Human King to dust. "The immortal god as the messenger whispered in front of Xiong Xin.
"Your Majesty, what is the difference between trampling on the dignity of a human king and trampling on the dignity of a king?"
"Your Majesty, please order the army to stop."
In the account , Xiong Xin himself was also thinking and hesitating.
He led his army to Luoyi, what exactly did he want?
If you can get the Nine Cauldrons of the Human Emperor, it would be the best.
But what if the human king doesn’t give it?
Do I really want to lead my army to attack Luoyi, defeat Luoyi, and take away the Human Emperor Jiuding by force?
Fighting against the King of Humans and starting a head-on battle - even Chu State has not done such a thing for many years.
If a war really breaks out, how much strength can the generals and soldiers of Chu State use?
If I really defeat Luoyi, will other princes, such as Jin, Qi and other big countries, use this as an excuse to gather their princes to attack Chu again - just like thousands of Years ago, the princes gathered together to defeat the Rong and Di.
Even the name of the alliance can be directly adopted from Qi's slogan of "respecting the king and rejecting the barbarians".
Moreover, just as the messenger of the Human King said - the Human King lies in the supreme dignity.
If you take advantage of the human king's weakness to conquer Luoyi, and expose the human king's embarrassment and weakness in front of heaven and earth, then what dignity can the human king have? ?
If even the existence of a human king is not noble enough, sacred enough, and cannot command the heaven and earth, then what can a prince like himself do, even if he becomes an overlord?
Or perhaps, he took away the Nine Cauldrons of the Human Emperor and used the Nine Cauldrons to cultivate the energy of the Human King - but at this time, even the honor of the Human King was gone, and the energy of the Human King, what else? What's the role?
When Xia founded the country, it was Xia Qi who defeated the human emperor chosen by the previous generation, and then established Xia, which was the starting point for becoming the human king.
Then, Shang worshiped Xia, and also defeated Xia when Xia was overwhelming the world.
Similarly, when Ji Zhou replaced the Yin Shang, he also bucked the trend when the Yin Shang was at its peak, fought quickly, and broke into the royal capital of the Yin Shang in one go.
Xiong Xin recalled the past history and suddenly had a clear understanding.
"The king of men."
"Only the king of men who is killed from the most cruel mountain of corpses and sea of blood is the king of men."
Just like him Ban led his army to Luoyi. Even if he defeated the weak and declining human king, he would not be able to create the destiny of the human king of Chu.
Overlord!
The only way is to defeat those powerful overlords in the past with a strong stance, and then suppress those new overlords when new princes challenge them.
In this way, the destiny of a new human king can be forged.
Hegemony - the princes approach the human king and exercise the authority of the human king.
A road that was once considered by all the princes to be wrong and impossible to lead to the human king.
But at this moment, Xiong Xin suddenly realized that this road to overlord might be the only road to the human king under the current situation of the world.
——Thousands of years ago, Guan Zhong of Qi State had already realized the existence of a road and led Qi State on this road.
Unfortunately, the subsequent kings of the Qi Kingdom did not live up to their expectations and failed to maintain their position as overlords, and the subsequent Jin Kingdom did not realize the true limits of this road to hegemony.
Or maybe they realized it, but future generations were incompetent.
And now, standing at the top of this road is the State of Chu.
Then what the Chu State has to do next is to continue to strengthen its troops and look down on the world - not only to ensure that other princes will not completely give up on challenging the Chu State, but also to ensure that the Chu State has The power that can suppress these princes.
And in this wonderful 'confrontation', the Qi of the human king will be formed bit by bit in the Chu Kingdom.
So at this moment, Chu King Xiong Xin quietly gave up another thought of his - he could not guarantee that every generation of kings after Chu would have the strength to deal with the princes of the world.
So, at the beginning, he had a plan to destroy the strength of other princes as much as possible.
Of course, he was also curious about why Qi and Jin did not try to weaken the power of other princes when they were determined to dominate.
But now, he has understood - heaven and earth are the furnace, and the princes are the firewood.
Finally, among the firewood, the one who withstood the flames was the new human king.
But before, neither Qi nor Jin could survive the burning of the fire of the princes. Now, it was Chu's turn to 'enjoy' this flame - of course, he could also choose to completely give up the possibility of becoming a human king, wear down the strength of other princes, and completely extinguish this flame.
However, everyone has realized the path to hegemony, and their Chu country has also determined their hegemony. How could he not think about the destiny of the human king? Woolen cloth?
Thinking about this, Xiong Xin suddenly became enlightened about the next path.
He already knew what to do next.
Beside him, the envoy who came on the order of the Human King was so shocked that his hair could not stand still when he heard the King of Chu lamenting about the Human King.
“The king of men.”
“Kill.”
“A mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.”
When these words are put together, it is really too scary.
The immortal god as the messenger felt that his legs were getting weak.
"Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty."
"Luoyi, a place of great humanity, your Majesty must be careful!"
Looking at this extremely frightened immortal, King Chu just smiled.
“I heard that there are Jiuding in Luoyi.”
“However, Luoyi is weak, and it would be bad if outsiders peek into the Jiuding.”
“It’s not as good as me. Invite Jiuding back to Jingdu to worship in order to stabilize the world and the mountains and rivers?"
But surprisingly, he didn't even use hints, but expressed his clear request in a direct and straightforward manner.
He wants Jiuding!
As for what will happen if the Human King doesn’t give it...
If you don’t give it, I won’t give it.
He has thought very clearly that the hegemony of Chu State and the aura of Chu State's future kings all depend on Chu State's army, not on the existence of the Nine Cauldrons.
Even if the kings of this generation are stubborn and would rather die than hand over Jiuding - that is nothing more than leading the troops back to the Chu Kingdom.
The Chu State's army is still powerful. Even if it returns to the Chu State due to the "power of the human king", it will only lose some face for him, the king of Chu. There is no barrier to the Chu State's hegemony - and, this' "The humiliation" can be passed down to future generations, making future generations strive for progress, and letting future kings of Chu know that dominance is not the end.
In this way, if the kings of later generations have this thought and the 'humiliation' of Jiuding, even if they will fall, they will not fall too outrageously.
Of course, the thoughts of King Chu and the immortal god as the messenger are naturally unclear.
However, in the opinion of this envoy, the King of Chu dared to directly mention the topic of Jiuding, so his determination for the trip to Luoyi can naturally be imagined.
As a prince, one can peer into the weight of the Nine Cauldrons - in the past, this immortal god who stood on the side of the human king must have rebuked and suppressed this ambition.
But at this time, after hearing King Chu's words like "human king", "killing people, mountain of corpses and sea of blood", and then hearing King Chu's request of Jiuding, he no longer felt that the request was too much. ——He even speculated that King Chu's request for Jiuding might just be an excuse to go to war with Luoyi.
After all, even he himself did not know whether Jiuding existed in Luoyi City.
......
"Jiuding?"
In Luoyi City, the human kings of this generation looked extremely excited when they heard the news brought back by the envoy from the Chu army. The embarrassment - after the capital was moved to Luoyi, the first few generations of kings still had some spirit. However, after the hegemony of Qi, and under the suppression and corruption of Qi and Jin from generation to generation, today's The human king is already not even worthy of being a middle-aged man.
Therefore, facing the King of Chu's request for the Jiuding, this human king not only did not feel any humiliation, but instead felt a little relieved.
At least, the barbarian from Chu State had no intention of killing him.
However, after a period of relaxation, the human king was in trouble again.
If the king of Chu handed over Jiuding when he asked, would that make him appear weak and easy to bully?
Or maybe, after the King of Chu obtained Jiuding, he had to push further and wanted to peek into more things?
Therefore, the Human King once again sent an envoy to the Chu army, hoping to make an agreement with the Chu State. For this reason, the Human King also specifically asked the envoy to bring with him something that was taboo in the Human King lineage. , the statue of Lord Yilong, I want this immortal god named after righteousness to serve as a witness and guarantee for the agreement.
And the messenger was none other than Wang Sunman.
He is also from the Jizhou royal family, but because his talents are too outstanding, he has lost the hope of becoming the human king. He can only be trapped in Luoyi City, being an ordinary minister, full of There is little room for him to display his talents.
"Your Majesty, is Jiuding really still there?" Wang Sunman asked.
He was unwilling to send an envoy, let alone hand over Jiuding - in his opinion, even if the Chu State led a large army here, it would not dare to bear the crime of killing the murderous king.
After all, most of the princes in this world still have Ji's blood flowing through them.
As long as the human king of Ji Zhou falls in Luoyi, the entire Chu State will immediately become the public enemy of the world.
——No matter how strong the Chu State is, can it still be stronger than the Yin Shang Dynasty back then?
However, no matter how he persuaded him, the determination of the human king to bow down and seek peace was inevitable.
So, Wang Sunman had no choice but to change his explanation.
After the destruction of Haojing, Ji Zhou moved his capital to Luoyi. The existence of Jiuding has always been a mystery. Whether it is still among the ruins of Haojing or whether it has been secretly brought to Luoyi by the Jizhou royal family has always been a mystery.
Even now, there are still many immortals and gods wandering around the ruins of Haojing, trying to find clues about Jiuding.
As for the existence of Jiuding, the Jizhou royal family has never said anything - and it has never shown the existence of Jiuding to the outside world.
The Jiuding may not be there, so how can it be taken out and handed over to Chu?
Moreover, how could the barbarians of Chu State recognize that the one in front of them was Jiuding?
And then retreat?
“Natural Jiuding is here.” Human Wang Ji Yu’s face darkened.
This is a secret that is only spread among human kings - however, he, the human king, has no nostalgia for Jiuding.
