Hearing Mr. Huaiming's words, Zhao Shui was a little puzzled: "Chiyundu has indeed deployed people outside, but the foundation is still in Cangwu Ridge. If one day Cangwu Ridge is swept away by the imperial army, scattered everywhere
How can the disciples of Chiyun City succeed?"
"Oh? I wonder what Lord Zhenming has to say?" Mr. Huaiming looked like he was watching a child play.
"I don't have any great ideas, but I have a lot of confusion. I hope Mr. Huaiming can give me some advice," Zhao Shu said.
"explain."
Zhao Shu found two Gangfeng Post flags from a bamboo basket nearby and asked, "Has Mr. Huaiming seen this?"
Mr. Huaiming did not reach out to take it, but smiled and said: "Do you want me to give evidence of confession?"
"Your Excellency, your words are serious." Zhao Shu said: "When you and Chi Yun were turning things upside down in Xingluo County, this was the thing you relied on."
"A few flags are not enough to accomplish anything." Mr. Huaiming said bluntly: "Every weapon in the world has different functions, so it is not appropriate to be paranoid. Relying too much on certain things will restrict your horizons and tie your own hands and feet."
Zhao Shu was speechless for a moment. Mr. Huaiming seemed to be answering the question incorrectly, but he also seemed to be talking about the reasons for Yang Liujun's failure in the first place.
"This is the Gangfengyi flag, a magical weapon used by Chiyundu to convey messages in Xingluo County." Zhao Shu said: "This kind of magical weapon is difficult to refine, and the spiritual material used is the Yun brocade woven by Dongshengdu Yuyi Pavilion.
, then use the Yin Spring to sacrifice it, and finally cut it apart.
In addition, in order for the command flags to communicate with each other, it is necessary to set up a main flag as a hub, and many sub-flags are connected with it, just like the shape in the mirror, the impact in the deep valley, and the echo from far and near. It is a pity that the main flag was destroyed in the war.
I can't restore it."
Mr. Huaiming glanced at Zhao Shu: "Since you already know how to refine this thing, there is no need to ask me."
Zhao Shu shook his head and said: "Those are just my rough deductions. I can't refine a complete set of Gangfengyi flags myself, so I came here to ask Mr. Huaiming for advice."
Mr. Huaiming thought for a moment, and his tone suddenly changed in a subtle way: "Refining magic weapons and making ritual objects are not our strengths in Chiyun City. You asked the wrong person."
Zhao Shu asked more and more: "So, someone else helped you refine it? I am really curious, Yun brocade is a treasure given by the emperor, and it must be obtained by princes and nobles. Where did Chiyun get such a batch of Yun brocade? Could it be that
Do any of you still hold high positions in the government?"
"Maybe it is, maybe it is not." Mr. Huaiming said: "Marquis Zhenming wants to investigate, so he might as well write to the king of the country and build a prison to find out the matter."
Of course Zhao Shu would not do this, but the other party deliberately concealed it. The identity of the person who wanted to refine the Gangfengyi Flag was unusual. Once it became known, it would definitely cause shock in the court of Huaxu Kingdom.
"I still don't know something." Zhao Shu said: "Although your Chiyun City's manpower is distributed everywhere, most of them are in the south of Huaxu Kingdom. Why did you suddenly send people to Xingluo County a few years ago? You forged the magic sword
What exactly is your intention?”
"You really want to know?" Mr. Huaiming suddenly became serious.
Zhao Shu felt the inexplicable heat coming towards his face and couldn't help but take a half step back: "If I guess correctly, your original idea was to forge the divine sword in Xingluo County, kill Liang Shuo, defeat the army, and use this to lure Liang Guoshi.
Come in person and kill him together.
Once the national division dies, the morale of the imperial officers and soldiers will be greatly reduced, and Chiyundu will be able to establish a foothold in the north, and then operate for several years, and join forces with Cangwu Ridge in the south, and send troops from the north and south to attack together, and change the dynasty, right?"
Mr. Huai Ming couldn't hide his disappointment: "I thought you had such a brilliant idea, but it turned out to be so vulgar. This set of after-dinner talk by ordinary people in the market is not enough to be used as a strategy for major affairs, except for the pleasure of talking.
"
Zhao Shu didn't know how to refute for a while. Mr. Huaiming said bluntly: "If a dynasty can be changed with just a magic sword, it doesn't matter whether there is Chiyun or not. Just pick up the sword and kill Dongshengdu. Why should we hide?
Hiding?”
"Although the Divine Sword is invincible, it is not without its countermeasures." Zhao Shu nodded and said.
Mr. Huaiming smiled and said: "I know that it was you who set up the altar in Xingluo County and used rituals to suppress the power of the divine sword. If it weren't for you, Liang Tao might have died in Xingluo County.
!”
"I don't think Liang Guoshi will be defeated easily." Zhao Shu said bluntly: "If Chi Yundu really wants to kill Liang Guoshi, I'm afraid the three elders will need to personally raid the formation to cover it. Yang Liujun's cultivation power... is still a bit behind."
"Oh? Do you know Yang Liujun very well?" Mr. Huaiming asked.
"I don't even know his true identity, how can I understand it?" Zhao Shu said: "But I have had a conversation with him before, and I know that he was burned and burned all over his body because of Chongxuan Hall's siege of Chiyundu."
"That's what he said?" Mr. Huai Ming seemed surprised.
"I know that some of the things the imperial court did at the beginning were really inappropriate. Chongxuan Hall and Liang Guoshi were also involved, and they committed many crimes." Zhao Shu sighed: "But have you ever thought that once Liang Guoshi was killed, other countries would definitely not
You've missed a good opportunity. Even if you can change the dynasty by then, I'm afraid this country and the country will not last long."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Huaiming first sneered a few times, and then threw his head back and laughed, making Zhao Shu confused.
"I thought that as a descendant of the Tianxia Dynasty's Salute Officer, you would have a high-level speech when you took the risk to come here." Mr. Huaiming stopped laughing: "I didn't expect that you would say such vulgar words."
Zhao Shu was stunned for a moment, and Mr. Huaiming continued: "What do you mean by the change of dynasties, the country, the country, and the country? These are the only things you can see in your eyes? In the Huaxu Kingdom, from the head of the country to the officials, they only know about private affairs, especially the family affairs.
Especially Liang Tao of Chongxuan Hall! All the people are suffering from misery, and their lamentations can be heard for thousands of miles. If you even turn a blind eye to these things, you will be in vain to praise the descendants of the ceremonial officials."
"Mr. Huaiming, anyone can say compassionate words. The problem is how to deal with the crisis." Zhao Shu was not polite: "With all due respect, Chi Yun still wants to hide in the Cangwu Mountains to protect himself. It's too much to think about.
After a long time, there is still nothing we can do. Mr. Yangliu was defeated and killed in Xingluo County, probably because he was too aggressive and tried to achieve success at one stroke!"
Mr. Huai Ming nodded slightly: "Don't say arrogant words first. What would you do if you were Mr. Yang Liu?"
Zhao Shu unknowingly thought about it: "The Divine Sword is an extraordinary weapon. Even if you are determined to forge it, you should not make it too public. The birth of the Divine Sword affects the changes in the weather of heaven and earth. It is easy to attract the prying eyes of the world's experts, especially in the Xingluo County area."
Reiner your actions instead of recruiting bandits.
In addition, you, the three elders of Chiyun, should bring out your skills in donating talisman water and practicing medicine to save people in your early years, and use this to recruit disciples from all over Huaxu Kingdom, but not in the name of Chiyundu. I know that you are not the only ones who were Chiyun in those days.
Yunshan’s Immortal Sutra Dharma. If you want to achieve great things, you should have a long-term plan, instead of just seeking temporary success or failure, gains and losses in one place."
Mr. Huaiming remained silent. In fact, this is what Chiyun is doing nowadays. He sends his disciples to various places to practice talisman water, cure diseases and save people, in order to spread Taoism and promote religion. However, due to the current situation, he does not dare to go too far, and the disciples mainly
It is found in the countryside of several counties in the south.
"Huaxu State has a system of pavilions and halls. How can we recruit disciples if we do this?" Mr. Huaiming asked tentatively.
Zhao Shu shook his head and said: "There are a total of six taverns in Huaxu Kingdom. Those who can enter them to practice magic are either rich children or have family backgrounds. Outside of the taverns, there are various rivers and lakes in the towns and countryside of Huaxu Kingdom.
There are so many casual cultivators and temple guardians who can’t get ahead. How can these cultivators alone solve everything?”
"Listening to what you said, it seems that the system of the hall is insufficient?" Mr. Huaiming asked with a smile.
Zhao Shu had some things that he couldn't say clearly to outsiders. Of course he was aware of the problem of the system of pavilions. Even if we don't talk about Chongxuan Pavilion, which blatantly uses the name of Xue Yin from the immortal line, there is more or less a family in Huaiying Pavilion.
The difference between high and low is only suppressed by the first Zhang Duanjing.
Looking back carefully, we actually had some clues when Luo Xixian got married. Almost all the students invited to the Huaiying Hall were descendants of noble families who had a lot of contacts with Luo Xixian, while most of those who stayed in Jindingsi came from poor families.
Similarly, these Qinggui's children naturally couldn't stand the heavy official duties of the Jinding Division, so they complained a lot about Zhao Shu before the Yingzhou meeting. For Qinggui's children, entering the Huaiying Hall not only yearns for immortality and immortality, but also treats the hall as a
An occasion for aristocratic families to make friends.
If things go on like this, Huaiying Hall will probably become a private forbidden place for high-ranking nobles all over the world. It only depends on family background, and there is neither immortal cultivation nor profound knowledge in the art.
Zhao Shui didn't quite understand these things before, but when he took charge of the military affairs at Jianjia Pass, he found that there were too many places that really needed monks, and there was a serious shortage of manpower at his disposal, so Zhao Shui almost had to do everything himself.
Only when he really suffered a lot did Zhao Miao gradually realize that the shortcomings of the Guanshe system had already appeared.
"I can't change the system of the palace." Zhao Shu had no choice but to say: "I only came across it occasionally when I was assisting in military affairs. Just a few dozen monks who can summon thunder and bring down fire, and fly weapons are not enough to change the world.
The situation of the war requires a group of magicians who are proficient in spells and magic objects, not dozens or hundreds, but preferably thousands of people, scattered throughout the army."
Mr. Huaiming began to meditate again, and Zhao Shui's idea coincided with Chiyun's. The three elders of Chiyun have been practicing for a long time, and they know very well that there are only a few people who can truly achieve great success in cultivation and understand the Xuanmen Immortal Way.
Therefore, Mr. Jingming made drastic additions and deletions to the Immortal Scriptures inherited from Chiyun Mountain, discarding the key points of immortality and ascending to immortality. He almost exclusively pursued the merits of the techniques, even burning his lifespan in exchange for killing.
A means of defeating power. If viewed according to the authentic immortal method, Mr. Jing Ming's actions can almost be classified as heretical.
But thanks to this move, Chi Yun was able to cultivate a group of disciples with excellent skills despite being displaced by war.
"Chiyun should be able to do these things more easily than us." Zhao Shu sighed helplessly: "It's just... it's a pity."
"What's a pity?" Mr. Wyming asked.
Zhao Shu scratched his head in embarrassment: "I can't help but wonder, if the imperial court had not suddenly betrayed its trust back then, why would Huaxu Kingdom be in such a situation now?"
Mr. Huaiming sneered a few times: "Say this, it shows that you are naive and childish."
Zhao Shu was not angry either: "This is not the first time someone has said that to me. I hope you can explain it."
"Chiyundu led millions of soldiers and civilians to join the Huaxu Kingdom. This did not add a large number of registered residents out of thin air." Mr. Huaiming said bluntly: "So many people need to eat, clothe, and shelter. What do you think?
Is it so easy to solve?
When we come, we first need to resettle large tracts of land. Not to mention whether the ordinary people of Huaxu Kingdom are happy with it, but the wealthy and powerful families who occupy vast land are not happy! Otherwise, why did the leader of Huaxu Kingdom want to divide Chiyundu's millions of soldiers and civilians into different places?
Placement?”
Zhao Shu immediately understood: "There is no spare arable land in Huaxu country to plan for dictating land. The only way is to use the soldiers and civilians of Chiyundu as tenant slaves of powerful families. In this way, the powerful Chiyundu can be disintegrated and the powerful people can be destroyed."
You can please the powerful people in the country, and maybe the head of the country and his clan can also take advantage of the opportunity to profit."
"If it weren't for you, a cruel official, who took the initiative to stir up trouble, Yang Guozhu would not have dared to take food from a powerful household." Mr. Huaiming said sarcastically.
Zhao Shu was puzzled: "I was just taking advantage of the situation. Since I can do it now, why couldn't the king and Chi Yundu work together to wipe out the insects and rats in the country?"
"You still don't understand?" Mr. Huaiming asked again: "Does Lord Yang dare to do this? If he really joins forces with our Chi Yundu, will he still have the final say in the matter?"
Zhao Shu suddenly realized that Chiyundu was a powerful foreign force, with three elders at the top and twenty-four generals and many disciples as the backbone. More importantly, they could mobilize millions of soldiers and civilians with a single call, and the momentum was huge.
Enough to sweep across the Huaxu Kingdom.
If the leader of the country really uses Chiyundu to wipe out the powerful families, it is bound to make Chiyundu grow stronger in the process, and it is not known that it may even dominate Huaxu Kingdom in turn.
In the eyes of the king, ministers and officials, this kind of thing is nothing more than a dove occupying a magpie's nest, and is absolutely unacceptable.
As for splitting up Chiyundu's millions of soldiers and civilians and scattering them to various places to serve as tenant slaves, not to mention how cold and sinister this approach is, once there are no many common people as the foundation, Chiyun's three elders and twenty-four generals will
Like a castle in the air, the best result is to set up another restaurant as a resettlement, but it is more likely that it will be constantly suppressed and gradually wither.
"One cannot be tolerated and the other cannot be separated. From the moment Chiyundu surrendered to Huaxu Kingdom, the seeds of conflict were planted." Zhao Shu sighed: "Why did the three elders return to Huaxu Kingdom back then? Ordinarily Chiyundu surrendered to Huaxu Kingdom.
In the past, we were more active in bear country."
"You don't know?" Mr. Wyming asked.
"How can I know?" Zhao Shu thought for a moment, why did the other party think that he should know?
"The Xiong Kingdom sent troops to conquer the country first. At that time, the agreement to eliminate the troops in Shouyang was concluded. We... had no choice but to submit to the Huaxu Kingdom." Mr. Huaiming said: "And there are people in Chiyun City who know the Huaxu Kingdom and feel that this is the case.
The way is feasible."
"who?"
"Mr. Yangliu."
Hearing this, Zhao Shu couldn't help but feel a little suspicious: "What is the origin of Mr. Yangliu...? I once heard General Wei say that this man is a god in military skills, but he seems to have some deep-rooted hatred against Liang Guoshi."
"The answer lies in the riddle." Mr. Wyming raised his chin and pointed to the distance: "Isn't that where you came from before?"
"Over there?" Zhao Shu turned his head and looked at where he came from, and suddenly realized: "Yang, Yang... Mr. Yang Liu is the Duke of Qingming?!"
