In the Heavens

Coaxing and deceiving, intimidating, buying and intimidating, the crusade army staged a sweep of Liangzhou, swallowing mountains and rivers like a tiger.

It's not easy to lead the team when people's hearts are scattered, no matter how hard the Cui family struggles, they can't resist everyone's surrender.

The intervention of the major forces in the Southwest, which had high hopes, did not achieve the expected results. The deterrent power of the powerful forces is too great, and no one is willing to provoke a big enemy for themselves for no reason.

In the final analysis, the Battle of Liangzhou was provoked by them themselves. It is a party that is at a loss, but its strength is not enough, and it is right to be beaten by the society.

Li Mu agrees to accept the mediation, which is to give everyone face. What the forces of all parties need is a security guarantee, not wanting to stand up for the Cui family.

When the negotiations started, three-quarters of Liangzhou had been taken by Li Mu, and the battle for hegemony had actually been decided.

Without any accident, the Cui family was betrayed. It's not that everyone doesn't want to curb Li Mu's development, it's just that the states are in a mess now, and they can't spare the power to intervene.

In addition, there is another important factor - the imperial decree of Emperor Zhou.

Regardless of what the original motives of the Liangzhou Aristocratic Family Alliance were, their actions have already constituted treason against Zhou. The military action launched by Li Mu now has the support of the imperial court.

Everything has two sides. If you accept the righteousness brought by the imperial court's support, you will inevitably be bound by the imperial court's laws.

As a court official, there is no right to expand without the emperor's edict. Especially those from aristocratic families are more constrained.

Pulling the tiger skin of the Li family in Suizhou will also bear the negative effects caused by it. With Da Zhou helping to watch, everyone can rest assured for the time being.

Frankly speaking, this is not a sequelae, a Liangzhou Li Mu is struggling.

Simply counting the population and territorial area, a Liangzhou is equivalent to the Ming Dynasty before the expansion. How to govern such a large territory is a difficult problem.

For a long time to come, he had to face a serious problem-lack of officials.

In order to control the territory, the most brutal military management is currently being played. This situation cannot continue. Once the situation stabilizes, it must be transferred to normal operation.

Insufficient number of officials is a problem that has to be faced. The solidification of the class has made Dazhou's talent selection system lose its vitality, and it is the same with Li Mu.

If you continue to use the children of rich families in these places as officials, you will be following the old path of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and you will return to the original point soon.

Temporary emergency use is not enough, because the restless human nature has tolerated Da Zhou to the limit, so prepare to be blacklisted if you continue the road of Da Zhou!

As a last resort, Li Mu had no choice but to change his talent training model and started a crash course for officials.

Regardless of whether it is reliable or not, it is a change. For the human nature that has not changed for thousands of years, it is not so much to care about now, as long as it changes, it will be good.

In a sense, this world is really suitable for the traveler who loves to toss around. As long as you don't torture yourself to death, you can get the favor of humanity.

It's just that Li Mu's mind is not humane, and he is not prepared to mess around with this unreliable boss. When people are suppressed badly, they are prone to do stupid things; if human nature is suppressed badly, it is not much better.

...

The Liangzhou War came to an end, marking the end of the Great Zhou Dynasty in 9999. The dispute came to an end, but the aftermath gradually spread from Liangzhou to every corner of Dazhou.

Information about Li Mu also quickly appeared in the hands of those in power. The princes who control a state are already worthy of everyone's attention.

Although the world is chaotic, there are still very few princes and kings who can really control a state. Looking at the entire Great Zhou, Li Mu is equivalent to winning one percent of the world.

A percentage point may seem insignificant, but for those who are interested in fighting for world supremacy, this is already an opponent worthy of attention.

Before the collapse of the Great Zhou Dynasty, this was basically the limit of the princes and kings everywhere. It's not that there is no expansion of strength, but that no one dares to be this early bird.

The nine anti-kings of the past are a lesson from the past. The awesome cross-states and even counties are now reduced to a speck of dust.

Before the chaos broke out, the sooner the princes who control a state, the more worthy of everyone's attention. This is not only a mastery of the opportunity, but also a manifestation of strength.

There is no doubt that the Li family of Suizhou will take the blame for this scapegoat. Regardless of whether they admit it or not, everyone believes that they did it.

A branch of the Dingyuan Hou's Mansion won Liangzhou. Normal people would not believe such news. To be so powerful, Guangliangzhou has long been in their pocket, so why are they still anxious with several forces now?

In fact, Dingyuanhou Li Chun didn't believe it either. Even if the southern state capital is weak, it cannot be handled by one of its own teachers. Transfer all the main forces of the Dingyuan Army over there, maybe you can try it.

Although his son is a Jindan warrior, he has just broken through. For Jindan fighters, it is difficult to take a step forward without a hundred and eighty years.

However, in the Battle of Liangzhou, there were only two Jindan warriors who died. No matter how you look at it, it seems absurd that a newly promoted Jindan warrior killed two old Jindan fighters.

At one time, I thought that there was a problem with the intelligence and was tampered with. But after many verifications, especially after being scolded remotely by his father, he couldn't accept this fact.

Other information can be falsified, and my father's unique way of swearing can never be imitated.

Reluctantly accepting this fact, Li Chun was very depressed. This is no longer a question of being surpassed by his son, it is completely a matter of living in vain at his own age.

Looking at the eldest son who was carefully cultivated in front of him, Li Chun suddenly lost the thought of teaching.

He really didn't understand that a well-bred child can only be regarded as good, but an incompetent playboy is soaring into the sky.

Looking at the nervous eldest son, Li Chun restrained his emotions and said: "Your grandfather sent a message, and Xiao Shisan took Liangzhou. There is a shortage of manpower now. Let us send some people to support it."

Thinking about Li Chun's anger, his son didn't speak up about this kind of thing in person, and let the grandfather say it, and he didn't give him the face of being a father at all.

"That's impossible! Thirteenth Brother has only controlled the six counties for a long time, and this..."

Looking at his father's eyes, Li Dong was sure that this was true, and he had to swallow the words back.

Going on, if it is misunderstood as jealousy, it will be in big trouble. The importance of Jindan Warrior to the family is far higher than that of his heir.

Regardless of the fact that it is his father who is currently in charge of the affairs of the Hou Mansion, Li Dong knows very well that it is the three golden alchemy masters in the family who really determine his family's fate.

When it comes to the right to speak in the clan, he is really nothing as an heir. In addition to the three golden alchemy masters, there are also father, grandfather, grandfather, great grandfather...

As long as there is no accidental box lunch, the worst thing to be able to inherit the position of marquis is innate, and anyone with slightly better aptitude can become a heavenly man. There are not many other things in the longevity society, but the number of ancestors is large.

Personally speaking, this kind of check and balance is obviously not beautiful. But for a family, a group of ancestors watching from above can restrain the patriarch from doing anything wrong and acting on his will.

Perhaps aware of the eldest son's gaffe, Li Chun waved his hand and said, "I just received this news, and my father is as surprised as you are.

However, after repeated verification, the news is indeed true. Go down and count the clansmen who are willing to go there, and then transfer some people from the vassal families to send them over together.

Anyway, since Liangzhou has fallen into our hands, we cannot give up easily. "

When I ate the meat in my mouth, I didn't spit it out casually. Li Chun, who originally wanted to take advantage of the troubled times and tear off a piece of meat in Guangliangzhou, now had to look away temporarily.

A state, even a southern state with relatively poor cultivation resources, is not comparable to a county.

It was originally an investment just to diversify risks, but now it has become the largest industry in the family, and it needs to be slowed down on anyone.

In addition to lamenting that his son is the son of luck, with such an astonishing change, Li Chun also had to consider the most practical issue - fighting for the dragon in troubled times.

Looking at the growth trajectory of his own son, it is completely cheating all the way. Ever since I was a child, I have never encountered any setbacks except for a near-death drowning.

Such a son of luck, caught up with the current chaotic world, no matter how you look at it, he is a dragon.

But the problem is that the foundation of the Hou Mansion is limited, and it is impossible to play such a difficult game. Unless the Li family of Suizhou can be pulled into the water, there will be no play at all.

But it's not in a hurry now, Da Zhou hasn't really collapsed yet. It's time for everyone to place their bets when the dragon energy in the world is dispersed.

...

Great Zhou Longting

As the ten thousand year period approached, the aura here also changed from glorious and sacred to eerie.

If any old antique strays into this place, it will definitely be a big surprise. The group of people in front of them are all the emperors of Zhou who have died for many years.

It's just that these dead emperors are no longer human beings. They all died under the backlash of luck, and now they only exist in another form of life.

An old man with a primordial spirit stepped forward respectfully, saluted the first man in the dragon robe and said, "Your Majesty, the plan has been prepared, and now it is the last step."

"Then let's get started!"

A slow sentence, but full of endless domineering, so that all the emperors of the Great Zhou were willing to bow their heads and proclaim themselves ministers, and only the founder of the country - Gu Zhou.

As the founder of the Great Zhou Empire, Gu Zhou, who should have died more than 9,000 years ago, is still alive and kicking, and if word spreads, the whole world will probably be shaken.

Obviously, this kind of longevity is no longer something that Yuanshen warriors can have. Only the fairy gods that exist in legends can live for such a long time.

If the world knows that the founding king of the Great Zhou Dynasty has not died, I am afraid that the careerists will collapse on the spot.

Without it, this person's glorious deeds are too many. When the Great Zhou Empire was established, it was true that gods blocked and killed gods, and Buddhas blocked and killed Buddhas.
