Chapter 275: Submit a letter to the imperial court to receive an official position
Within a year, Wen'an City's rise was unstoppable, many prefectural cities were conquered, and most of Liangzhou was occupied.
During this period, Gu Shanhai did not interfere. He also saw that the battle in Liangzhou was really just a small fight in the whole world, and it did not even affect the coalition forces.
Not long ago, the Taihe Pass was broken, and the coalition forces marched straight into Yong'an, Sili Prefecture. Unfortunately, they missed a step. The leader of the army who caused trouble in Chao Gang forced Emperor Long to move his capital and move away. Fortunately, there was no burning of Yong'an and the robbery of the emperor. The mausoleum, of course, also took away a lot of wealth and population, leaving only an empty city for the coalition forces.
Gu Shanhai almost laughed out loud. The other party must have been preparing for this move very early. No one expected that the coalition forces would be in a stalemate outside Taihe Pass for nearly half a year. Nearly half a year was enough for the other party to complete a lot of things. .
It was probably because they got the information about moving the capital that they rushed to attack the city quickly, otherwise they could have continued to delay.
Gu Shanhai wasn't sure what happened next, because the information hadn't come yet.
Compared with the fact that Jiang Lu owned most of the territory in Wen'an City through force, it was not outstanding at all in Dalong. The main reason is that this matter is not limited to Liangzhou, but this situation has occurred in many states. The embryonic form of a separatist regime has already emerged.
Gu Shanhai did not waste this year, and improved many abilities of the inner demon Taoist soldiers. In addition to the inner demons and delusions, he also developed a series of abilities, reaching eight. The last ability he is currently perfecting is , called inner demon substitution, this ability is the most core ability among all abilities.
In the form of Tao soldiers, this ability can connect oneself and the enemy, help one's side bear damage and transfer damage to the enemy.
With this ability, more people can help Gu Shanhai bear the damage. In addition, the inner demon Taoist soldiers also have the effect of forming special abilities when their number increases.
This effect is the rebirth of the inner demon. As long as the inner demon Taoist reaches one thousand, Gu Shanhai can consume one of the inner demon Taoist soldiers to be resurrected after his death. However, he will be weaker after rebirth. If he wants to restore more status, he needs The only way is to consume more inner demon Tao soldiers. The specific extent of recovery depends on whether you consume more Tao soldiers or less.
In addition, the inner demon Taoist soldiers can also use this to resurrect each other on other inner demon Taoist soldiers. They can also crawl out of their teammates after death, which means they have resurrected each other.
The effect of resurrection is average, but it is better than having more lives.
Gu Shanhai will definitely not only raise three or five inner demon Taoist soldiers. At this stage, he has a thousand inner demon Taoist soldiers in the Longevity Mountain, and his strength ranks among the top.
The reason why it is ranked as high-class is that it can only be considered high-class after completing the ability of the last inner demon substitute.
Gu Shanhai also saw that the upper level was the limit for Taoist soldiers, and it was difficult to break through this limit.
In other words, you can only have a maximum of nine abilities and one group effect. Any more will not work.
Fortunately, Gu Shanhai never thought about breaking through the upper limit so casually. Being a superior Taoist soldier was just the beginning. He had only perfected one aspect of the art of war. The rest still had armaments, military strength, and strategies to improve. Xi, not to mention that in addition to these, Dao soldiers also rely on quantity. The greater the number, the stronger the Dao soldiers will be.
It is essentially an explosive system.
"In three days at most, we will be able to complete the last ability." Gu Shanhai was quite satisfied with this, and he would be able to dispatch troops after the ability was completed.
Not to mention too much, first raise 10,000 inner demon Taoist soldiers. As long as there are no unconventional kills, he basically doesn't have to worry about actually dying.
Unconventional refers to things like certain rules, special effects caused by certain powerful magic weapons and techniques, etc. He doesn't have enough power to fight against these things yet.
If he really had the strength to easily erase these unconventional abilities, there would be no need for Gu Shanhai to develop abilities such as resurrection and rebirth.
Now, he can barely be regarded as a low-end version of the player, at least the ability to rebirth after death is arranged.
One day, when he becomes more capable, even the players may not be able to resurrect him.
"I have to say that cultivating Dao soldiers is really expensive." Gu Shanhai checked the recent consumption. With Gu Shanhai's research and development, the consumption has been rising.
Now is actually just the beginning, and it will cost more in the future.
A large amount of subsequent costs were transferred to Gu Shanhai's mana expenditure, which was a lot better, mainly because it saved trouble.
The various abilities that maintain the inner demon Taoist soldiers must be consumed from Gu Shanhai's mana. They are part of Gu Shanhai. He would not dare to use it unless it is consumed from Gu Shanhai. Who knew that the so-called zero consumption and the like were drawn from Gu Shanhai's mana. Something to make up for.
If players don't have to worry, "First Era" will take care of everything, but Gu Shanhai doesn't, so he has always been taboo about this kind of ability that seems unreasonable at first sight.
He dares to stuff himself with anything. Without a backstage, he basically cannot escape death.
"Mr. Gu, the latest information." A Sun Moon Taoist soldier hurried over and handed over a new piece of information.
You don't need to think about it to know that it must be related to the coalition forces.
Gu Shanhai picked it up and looked at it, with a look of surprise on his face.
"The throne was usurped, the false emperor was executed, many forces took over the court, and then supported Dalong, everyone in the coalition made a lot of money, so fast?"
"In the end, it was Emperor Taki who was unlucky. He was still a puppet, but before he was the puppet of one person, and now he is the puppet of a group of people."
"But these people are really ruthless. Millions of Taoist soldiers will kill them at will."
The soldier leader naturally died, and none of his Taoist soldiers remained. As for the soldier leaders who had originally taken refuge, they all surrendered. Except for a few unlucky ones, no one died, and most of them were divided up.
This is the end of one feast, but it is the beginning of another feast.
Anyway, after such a torment, Otaki's national power dropped to its lowest point at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Even the majesty of the royal family has fallen to the ground. Next, I don't know whether it is using the emperor to control the princes or some other changes.
"Teacher, what should we do next?" Within half an hour, Jiang Lu hurried over.
"What should I do? Of course I have to write to His Majesty to let you be the pastor of Liangzhou. What else can I do?" Gu Shanhai made a suggestion.
"Ah? You still want to submit a letter?" Jiang Lu didn't expect this at all. After all, these days, Emperor Long has really had no sense of existence. He has either become this puppet or that puppet, and moreover, he has become the puppet of the entire Liangzhou. Most of the territory was actually obtained illegally by him, so he didn't think about any legitimacy.
He originally thought that Gu Shanhai would give him a suggestion to share the pie together, but he didn't expect that Gu Shanhai would say that.
"Of course, don't forget that you are a member of the royal family. You rely on such orthodoxy. As long as you have Liangzhou Mu, you can completely oust the emperor or fengtian in the future." Gu Shanhai's move undoubtedly turned illegal into Become legal.
"Zhanyan and the others never told you this. This staff member must be too arrogant."
Did Gu Shanhai not expect that this group of people didn't understand this, or was there other considerations?
If we were to say that we were in troubled times, then this righteousness could be arbitrary, since it all relied on fists anyway, but it wasn't there yet, at least we had to maximize the benefits of the name of the royal family members.
Jiang Lu was able to secure Liangzhou and obtain a large number of talents through the recruitment order. On the one hand, force was on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was naturally his identity as Lord Wen'an and a member of the royal family. Otherwise, he really thought that so many people would defect to him. ?
Just like the original rebels, no relevant talents took the initiative to defect, and most of them were coerced.
In ancient times, orthodoxy and righteousness were very useful.
"But, can this be done?" Jiang Lu hesitated for a moment. He had also read this piece of information. The reason why his subordinates did not give him any advice was largely due to the fact that there are so many people in the Otaki court now. It was so chaotic, the powerful military leaders from all states gathered together.
The temple may not be small, but the evil wind is definitely huge.
How could Liangzhou be given to him when everyone was fighting openly and secretly to gain profits?
"Write your words in a low-key and small way. Crying children will be fed milk, and express tactfully in it that if they don't give it, you will make a fuss. There is a high probability that they will recognize it by holding their noses." Gu Shan Hai knew that now was the best time. Everyone was involved in each other and would not pay much attention to the little things like Jiang Lu and Liang Zhou.
It's probably just a little bit of scum, I'll give it to you.
But there should be some wrangling. After all, although Liangzhou is small and remote, it is also one of the 108 states in Dalong, and there are people who want to be greedy.
"Okay, then what?" Jiang Lu thought he could give it a try, since it was just a letter anyway.
"No more, I'm just giving you an opinion. You don't really want me to give you a complete set of strategies." Gu Shanhai complained.
Where did he get the complete set of strategies? I can only take it step by step.
Another thing is that he actually doesn't have much confidence in Liangzhou Mu. It's a game between high-level officials. It's not like Gu Shanhai, who is good at physical games. If the other party tries to play tricks on him, he will directly To dig out the opponent's heart, at least no one will dare to use this trick until the situation is not in chaos.
"Teacher, every time you give me some advice, can you just give me half of it and come up with ways to deal with the aftermath." Jiang Lu was quite speechless.
"You have so many staff and counselors under your command, can't you just go to them? Come to me every day." Gu Shanhai wondered what was wrong with this kid, and if he had any problems, he would come to him.
He is not a professional, so he can only give him some advice every time, which is very confusing just thinking about it.
"Teacher, don't you think too much about them?" Jiang Lu also smiled sadly. He really relied on Gu Shanhai and would come to him whenever anything happened.
"I" Gu Shanhai wanted to start swearing, but he wanted to think too much, so he came to see him.
"Forget it, I won't tell you anymore. Your son seems to be almost one month old, right?" Gu Shanhai asked.
Jiang Lu got married a year ago. He married a girl from a well-known family. Their relationship cannot be said to be very deep. They treated each other as if they were guests. They also had several concubines. Now his wife gave birth to a fat boy for him. It will be a full moon in a few days.
When it comes to Jiang Lu, heirs are very important.
"It's almost time. Disciple is thinking, let Si'er stay with you, teacher, after she is one month old, and you will teach her." Jiang Lu looked at Gu Shanhai.
Si, which means rhinoceros, is the nickname of Jiang Lu's son. He was given this nickname to make him grow stronger in the future.
"That's too much. It's only been a month and you want me to take care of him. Why don't you let your wife take care of it by herself?" Gu Shanhai didn't expect that Jiang Lu would try his best to find trouble for himself.
"If you are in the backyard and have better hands than a woman, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve great results." Jiang Lu said with firmness in his tone.
Gu Shanhai didn't expect that there was quite a lot of feudal dross in Jiang Lu.
"We'll send him here after he starts school." Gu Shanhai refused directly. He had only sent the child here a month ago and he didn't want to take him with him.
The best way is of course to wait until he is almost old enough to train him. He has met Si'er, and her qualifications are just average.
It can be regarded as the kind of achievement that is not as good as the superiors but more than the inferiors. If you want to say how much achievement you have, you may have it, but it is unlikely to be as good as Jiang Lu.
Therefore, he can only be trained in the direction of the Lord of Shoucheng. If he fails to achieve hegemony in Jiang Lu's generation, then if he does not fail in Si'er's generation, it will be regarded as his outstanding ability.
The possibility of being a late bloomer cannot be ruled out.
Even if you let Gu Shanhai teach you, you may be able to turn around, or you may be overturned.
However, Gu Shanhai can't control that much. He can't stay in this world for that long. At most, he will leave until he breaks through the Tianjing Stage, which is about twenty to thirty years.
This was enough time for him to complete his plan.
Seeing Gu Shanhai's determination, Jiang Lu did not dare to continue.
The two chatted for a while, and Jiang Lu also asked Gu Shanhai to answer many of his questions before leaving Gu Shanhai's residence.
"There is always the illusion that he is a father." Gu Shanhai complained.
When Jiang Lu got married before, he was the one who paid homage and offered tea.
Not only Jiang Lu, but also his three sworn brothers. Li Yu definitely doesn't have this kind of treatment. He has been married a long time ago, so taking a concubine will definitely not be so formal.
Only the head wife has this treatment.
As for what their wives look like, Gu Shanhai is not sure, and he has never seen them before. When they got married, they wore a red hijab, and after they got married, they lived in the back house. Never seen it before.
Basically, Jiang Lu and others came to visit Gu Shanhai, bringing only Taoist soldiers and entourage. It is impossible to say that it is not appropriate to bring his wife and children to visit Shanhai.
Gu Shanhai didn't even think about going to see the other party. When he did, it was just like that. Gu Shanhai was curious, but he had to put it on business. Who would be a serious person who would be curious about what his apprentice's wife looked like and go out of his way to meet her.
Is there something wrong with this?
"Forget it, I've probably been busy lately." Gu Shanhai rubbed his temples. Although he didn't have to deal with the affairs of running Liangzhou Mu, it would still affect him to some extent. After all, he was the one who proposed it. Zhanyan and others would also come to him to ask some questions. (End of chapter)
