Chapter 5458 The illusion turns out to be in the dream
Doupeng's brows were furrowed tightly and he said: "What Black Robe said makes sense. It is actually very troublesome to form an army. In times of peace, it would be difficult to have a standing army of hundreds of thousands across the country. At most
It's between hundreds of thousands and two hundred thousand. Even Liu Yu
Before the Northern Expedition to Southern Yan, the standing strength of the Beifu Army was only about 30,000 at Jingkou and about 10,000 at Guangling. The legions of Liu Yi, He Wuji and Liu Daogui were strictly speaking the troops of Yuzhou, Jiangzhou and Jingzhou.
Horses cannot be completely considered part of the Beifu Army's establishment."
"But even so, if there is no big war, the mobile armies across the country, which can be drawn out for a battle at any time, only number about one hundred thousand. Including the state and county sergeants who are doing corvee service, the number is almost the same, and
The state and county soldiers are poorly trained and equipped
, the combat effectiveness is also weak, which also leads to the fact that once something happens in the country, such as the Lingnan Rebellion of Tianshi Dao, various places are unable to extinguish this rebellion that initially only had tens of thousands of rebels. There will even be many former veterans who returned home.
Veterans who join the rebel side for various reasons."
The black robe laughed and looked at the ancestor: "Ancestor, did you use the art of bewitching people's hearts to make them see illusions again, and then they joined the Tianshi Dao?"
The ancestor shook his head: "My mana is not consumed casually like this. The last rebellion caused by Sun En was because I heard the news that Liu Yu might follow Liu Laozhi to attack and atone for his sins. For example, at the theater stage in Pengcheng
In the fighting arena, Liu Yu was not killed, although it was because Qinglong Xichao was incompetent and arrogant, and Suzaku Wang Ningzhi stabbed him in the back, but more importantly
Unfortunately, as Xuanwu, he secretly turned to Liu Yu's side, which led to his failure. If Liu Yu could not be eliminated early under the pretext of treason, it would be very difficult to control him in the future. Therefore, I must stir up the world.
During the Shi Dao Rebellion, I raised troops in Wu and overthrew the Jin Kingdom of Sima, even if it cost me a lot of mana, I would not hesitate."
The black robe frowned: "In that case, why didn't the ancestor cast a spell on Liu Yu's comrades in the Beifu Army and let them directly assassinate Liu Yu? They must not all be strong-willed, especially Liu Yi, who
But I hate Liu Yu so much that I always want to replace him."
The ancestor said coldly: "Of course I cast various illusions on them. From Liu Laozhi to Liu Yi, I made them see Liu Yu many times in their dreams. Later, he would replace them and drive them out of the army.
, became a beggar, and finally died of cold and starvation. Otherwise, how could Liu Laozhi instruct Liu Yi to assassinate Liu Yu in Wuzhuang? Master Doupeng, back then I asked you to pretend to be Xuanwu to facilitate this matter.
You asked me this too, right?"
Doupeng smiled slightly: "Yes, this matter is a disciple's personal experience. Liu Lao got some illusion medicine, and it was given to him through me. However, if Liu Laozhi hadn't already had a desire for Liu Yu in his heart,
With all my precautions and jealousy, I can't easily approach him and gain his trust."
The ancestor nodded: "Yes, Liu Laozhi was born in the grassroots and suffered discrimination and suppression from the gentry in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. But he didn't know how to unite Liu Yu and Liu Yi, who were also from the grassroots and the lower gentry. He thought that they were from the same background.
People will rob his army sooner or later
Power, power can make people corrupt. In addition, he was born in a Huaibei village, so he is naturally wary of these heroes from Jingkou. He is not the same person. If Liu Yi succeeds in killing Liu Yu, then what will happen next
Liu Yi was targeted and excluded by him."
"So, Liu Laozhi, who wants to get into the circle of nobles and aristocratic families, is actually the one I have been controlling with spells. Ever since he was fighting all day long in the Huaibei village with the Hu army from the north, I have allowed him to see the future.
I hope that one day I can
Command thousands of troops and horses to defeat the Hu army. Instead of just leading hundreds of villagers to fight with the Hu horse bandits and thieves like now, we will not only need a few thousand Hu cavalry to go south each time.
, he can only stick to the mountain stronghold or even be forced to flee."
"This illusion came true later on for Liu Lao. He really became the commander-in-chief of thousands of troops. He really defeated the Qin army in Junchuan, Luojian and Feishui, and became the world-famous God of War. In those dreams
The fantasy has become a reality, so I
Another illusion he saw was that Liu Yu would drive him out of the army, take his commanding position, and turn him and Liu Jingxuan into beggars. They would not even be able to return to the Huaibei village. Such a terrifying scene became torture.
The nightmare of Liu Laozhi’s life.”
The black robe sighed: "It would be great if I could control other people's dreams and make people hallucinate like this. Ancestor, your magic power is still very powerful. However, if it weren't for Liu Laozhi himself having the power deep in his heart,
With this kind of thinking, I'm afraid your spell won't be successful so easily."
The ancestor nodded and said with a smile: "Black-robed Tao Gong is right. This spell actually evokes what is in people's hearts. As the saying goes, "Think about it every day and dream about it at night."
People with strong thoughts are more likely to see these illusions, and they will become very real. Later, even if I don't control these illusions, his own dreams will be full of these things. In turn, this kind of illusion,
For Liu Jingxuan, Xiang Mi, Tan Ping
It is ineffective for these people, because they have never thought that Liu Yu will attack them in the future. I just spend more mana to force them to see Liu Yu attack them in order to gain credit on the battlefield, or...
They ostracized them in the army, but when they trained the next day and Liu Yu blocked their guns and arrows again, they would never have these dreams again, and would even hate their own pettiness and suspicion in their hearts.
.”
Doupeng's eyes widened: "Ancestor, can you even see through and feel what they are thinking?"
The ancestor curled up his lips: "This method consumes a lot of soul energy, and I can't use it more. There are many spells in the Tiandao Alliance, especially forbidden spells. They are powerful and unbelievable, but they also consume a huge amount of energy. Only human beings can
The soul can replenish these essences, which is why you
The reason why we want to create troubled times and sacrifice souls with magic. The more grievances and distortions these souls have, the more magic power I will get here. And the peaceful world and clear world that Liu Yu wants will directly destroy us.
This is absolutely unacceptable to us."
Heipao gritted his teeth: "So, the ancestor has been planning for many years and attacked Liu Yu many times, but all failed. Could it be that Liu Yu really got help from those Taoist immortals in the past? Is it really because they came to the world to be like this?
Is a monster meant to be an enemy of you, the great god in the human world, my ancestor?" (End of Chapter)
