After Gu Cheng returned from Nuwa Temple, he immediately went into seclusion.
He deliberately harmed both sides with "Nu Wa", and was invaded by the power of the way of life. It was precisely because of the danger of the soldiers that he could understand the way of life and get rid of the oppression of heaven and earth.
The opposition between life and death is quite similar to the opposition between the origin and the end. If he can succeed, Gu Cheng will truly step into the realm of Yin and Yang life, death and death, and the transformation of the origin and end of Dharma.
That is the peak of Hunyuan.
His combat power is strong enough, reaching the extreme level of Hunyuan, because he has three artifacts, the Human Emperor Sword, the East Emperor Bell and the Nuwa Stone, which are combined with the Demon Emperor's clone and the Demon Lord's incarnation. Naturally, no other Hunyuan Taoist can compare with him.
superior.
But combat effectiveness is not the same as level.
In terms of realm, after all, Gu Cheng has not been in the Hunyuan Tao realm for a long time, and he has not yet reached the realm of Donghuang Taiyi and Sanqing Taoist.
Fortunately, misfortunes and blessings depend on it. The coming of the catastrophe of the end of the Dharma has also shown the opposition of the original end of the Dharma. With Nuwa's guidance, Gu Cheng already has a clear idea of the next path.
Don't underestimate this point. Many Hunyuan Taoist ancestors have been enlightened for tens of thousands of years, and they didn't realize it until they experienced the change of eras. Gu Cheng was able to find the target so quickly, which saved countless hard work.
Having a goal and working hard for it originally took tens of thousands of years, but in this era, the way to the end has been suppressed. The spread of Tianshu's twelve volumes of works was a successful resistance. This kind of tempering has allowed
His progress is very gratifying, and now he has the check and balance of "Nu Wa", which is enough to help him reach the peak of Hunyuan.
As a result, King Zhou lived in seclusion, business affairs and political affairs were peaceful, birds were flying and rabbits were flying, time was fleeting, summer passed and cold came, and without realizing it, another three years passed.
On this day, horses came quickly, and a man covered in blood fell in front of the gate of Chaoge City.
"Hey, this is Jizhou's badge!"
"Ah! This person is Su Quanzhong, the young prince of Jizhou. I have seen him from a distance in Jizhou. What happened? How could he be so seriously injured?"
"Carry him in quickly and call for the medical officer."
Everyone gathered around, and the medical disciples arrived quickly. After Su Quanzhong regained consciousness, he told the shocking news. Huang Feihu immediately went to the palace to report that the slaves under the command of Jizhou Hou Suhu rebelled. Beiyuan sent troops to help, and war broke out.
Gu Cheng was admiring the flowers and asked casually: "What is going on?"
Huang Feihu's eyes were solemn and he reported truthfully: "According to what Su Quanzhong said, it is Beibohou Chonghou Huxing who is plotting against Jizhou and has a disloyal heart!"
Jizhou is located in the north. It is one of the nine states designated by Dayu. It was the center during the Xia Dynasty. Now it is between Beiyuan and Xiqi. It is also the scope, strategy and geographical location of the Jin State in the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhao Wei and Han Dynasty in the Warring States Period.
Extremely important.
Su Hu has been in charge of Jizhou for many years, and its development was originally stable. However, since the four major princes began to restructure, even those princes in the second echelon have been affected.
Some princes changed their minds and changed accordingly, while others were firm supporters of the class, suppressing the slaves under their rule, and did not hesitate to use iron and blood methods to maintain the absolute dominance of the nobles and slave owners.
Su Hu is the latter.
When he was young, he was fiery, upright and upright, but as he got older he became much calmer, but as a noble of the clan, he would never compromise when it came to slaves.
Jizhou here remains unchanged, but the surrounding area is already turbulent.
Nanbohou E Chongyu and Northern Bohou Chonghou Hu began to mobilize troops against the dog soldiers, and the situation became extremely delicate.
In the past, the Dog Rong invaded the borders of Dashang, and the four major princes avoided it if they could. Now, under the lobbying of Fei Zhongyouhun, Chonghou Hu and E Chongyu took the initiative to send troops to achieve the purpose of training and strengthening the army. They did receive good support.
Effect.
They don't feel bad about the death or injury of slaves. The army left behind after successful military training can effectively deter all parties. This kind of business is naturally good, but it is not without its drawbacks.
The biggest problem is the supply of food and grass.
The Quanrong are a nomadic people, they come and go at once, and they are as arrogant as the wind. They are more difficult to deal with than the Dongyi. Although the armies under the Northern and Southern Marquises have the upper hand, the battle line is lengthening, and the supply of food and grass is becoming more and more troublesome.
Especially since Beiyuan is so vast and sparsely populated, the grain harvest is already insufficient. If the income of shops in Dongping City had not been increasing day by day, it would not have been able to support this kind of consumption. Taking this opportunity, Fei Zhong offered his advice to Chonghou Hu. It was time to attack other princes.
.
Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimps. This is the rule of survival of the fittest among princes.
When the Shang Dynasty was first established, there were three thousand princes. Now, six hundred years later, there are only eight hundred princes left. The more than two thousand princes have naturally been eliminated and absorbed.
If Beiyuan wants to be truly strong, a strong army is the first step, and the next step is to have a richer and broader territory.
So what place is more coveted by Chonghouhu than the rich Jizhou?
In order to make his master famous, Chonghou Hu sent Fei Zhong to sneak into Jizhou and instigate slaves to riot.
The process went very smoothly.
Human nature is not concerned with scarcity but with inequality. When the slaves in Jizhou heard that slaves elsewhere had hope, they were no longer willing to live the hopeless life in front of them.
Fei Zhong selected dozens of slave leaders, each of whom mobilized thousands of slaves and agreed on secret codes to plan a big event. On the other hand, Chonghou Hu also sent his own brother, Caozhou Hou Chongheihu.
Caozhou is not one of the nine states divided by Dayu. It sounds like a state. In fact, it is not much larger than a county. However, Caozhou is bordering Jizhou. Chonghouhu moved his younger brother to this position. It was Fei Zhongxian who
's plan.
When the slave uprising was in full swing in Jizhou, Chongheihu had already led an army of 30,000 and was ready to attack in Caozhou.
The slave riot was just an excuse. When Jizhou was in chaos, Chonghou Hu sent troops to "help" in the name. As for whether this "reinforcement" would return after suppressing the slaves, that is a matter of debate.
Su Hu was very vigilant and suppressed the slave uprising immediately, but he could not stop the invasion of the Chonghei Tiger army. He could only resist while sending his son Su Quanzhong to break out and come to Chaoge for help.
Su Quanzhong was the number one warrior in Jizhou. He was brave enough to be worthy of ten thousand men. With only a hundred personal guards, he broke through the blockade of Chonghou's tiger army and rushed out. In just one day and one night, he arrived at Chaoge.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the army to quell the chaos in Jizhou!"
After King Wu Cheng destroyed Dongyi and stayed in Dongping City for two years, Li Jing took over, and then returned to Chaoge and served as an instructor in Chaoyang Mountain to train military disciples.
Although teaching and educating people is a pleasure, Huang is a general, and he still prefers fighting on the battlefield.
"As King Wucheng of Zhenguo, how can you move lightly?"
However, Gu Cheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "I heard that you have four sons, Huang Tianhua, Huang Tianlu, Huang Tianjue, and Huang Tianxiang, who have all graduated from Chaoyang Mountain and are generals. This time, they will lead the army to fight with the son of Dongping City Guard Li Jing.
