In the Heavens

After the demise of the Great Zhou Dynasty, in the fifth year of autumn, Li Mu, king of Southwest China, launched the South Vietnam War on the grounds that the king of Yue had violated the frontier.

Millions of troops launched an attack from the five routes to Yuedi at the same time. The overwhelming offensive opened the prelude to the decisive battle among the princes.

There was no accident, except for Lingnan King, who was overwhelmed by himself, the remaining good neighbors, King Dan and King Wu, played the role of shit-stirring sticks one after another.

Actually, that's pretty good. Because of the relatively safe location, Li Mu was only hindered by the two princes. As the enemy, the king of Yue faced the danger of the eight princes of Wu, Chu, Chen, Song, Wei, Xu, Cai, and Wei at the same time.

If it weren't for the fact that everyone has a lot of enemies, who restrain each other's energy, and don't want to rush to use up their own strength, I'm afraid the whole world will be brought into the flames.

The advantage of the first mover has been fully revealed at this moment. The old princes and kings gradually took the strategic initiative in this troubled world, and the latecomers were still busy rectifying their internal affairs.

Everyone has to face the reality that the biggest enemy comes from the inner aristocratic family.

Accustomed to the comfortable days of the Great Zhou era, the powerful families who entered the troubled times didn't have time to adapt to the new environment, and most of them continued to play the old way.

Concealing fields, population, and tax evasion are all basic operations, proving with strength what a "poaching king" is.

At other times, it would be fine to keep one eye open and one eye closed, but now is a troubled time. The princes of all walks of life absolutely cannot tolerate Kongyou's inability to display his strength.

As a last resort, everyone can only join the ranks of suppressing the powerful families. However, everyone under his command comes from a wealthy family, so the policy cannot be implemented at all.

One step at a time, one step at a time. King Yue was one of the victims. He felt the pressure just after the war started.

Obviously sitting on the land of five states and ruling a population of more than 400 million, but only mobilizing 3 million troops, there are logistical problems.

If the three million troops were all gathered together, it would be understandable that the logistics could not keep up due to the limitation of transportation. The problem is that the three million troops were distributed on the front lines thousands of miles away.

What worried the King of Yue most was that many troops were based on figures on paper, and the Zhou army, which had not had time to rectify after being incorporated, also brought in the tradition of eating empty wages.

The three million troops on paper were crushed by the enemy's one million troops, and the guards all over the country were complaining about the lack of troops, and they kept reaching out to him for reinforcements.

Being able to jump up in a troubled world, Yue Wang Zhao Bingli is naturally not an easy person. As soon as the war broke out, he realized something was wrong.

"Have you figured out the reason for the Southwest King's massive invasion?"

In troubled times, there are also steps to fight for the dragon. After finally occupying a corner, the Southwest King, who has a strategic advantage, has absolutely no reason to give up his strategic advantage.

Yuedi, where the horns were hung in ancient times, has now become the place of the Four Wars. There are a lot of neighbors around, and there are too many checks and balances, which is not conducive to the accumulation of strength.

"My lord, the information we have collected is that the King of Southwest is angry at us for provoking conflicts, and wants to take the opportunity to seize the land of South Vietnam."

The commander of the Military Affairs Department, who was in charge of collecting intelligence, answered bravely. This answer is really not convincing.

Just like the information released by the other party on the surface, collecting intelligence is tantamount to not collecting. It doesn't make sense at all strategically, it's not logical at all.

Of course, reality is far more bullshit than fiction, and logic is not important.

According to logical reasoning, the ancient emperor shouldn't be so ruthless, as long as he didn't extract his own luck so thoroughly when he established the ghost way, he is still the world of Great Zhou.

But for the sake of the Dao, the ancient emperor directly gave up his eternal empire, and this is how the current crowd of heroes competes.

What's even more ridiculous is that the aristocratic family who had the advantage in the early stage did not take the opportunity to fight for the advantage, but played Fulongting instead.

Although it mainly focuses on supporting the family members, it is two concepts to fully participate. Otherwise, there are at most five or six princes in the world now, where can all the heroes come together.

But this is reality. Logical is rational, illogical is human nature.

In the final analysis, everyone just wants to enjoy the dividends brought by the success of the Dragon Fighting, but is unwilling to bear the consequences of failure.

When you put on your shoes, you have concerns. In order to avoid wet shoes, everyone has to do their best to avoid one puddle after another.

Zhao Bingli had a very headache, because he, the king of Yue, had not yet fully occupied the territory of Yue. All major ancient countries had a glorious history, and it is normal for their territories to overlap.

The surrounding competitors are really too strong. Just after occupying the land of the five states, they were blocked by the enemy, making it impossible to advance or retreat.

The main purpose of constantly harassing the Southwest is to seize a stable rear and temporarily avoid the sharp edge of the crowd.

However, the plan did not change quickly, and a strong dragon appeared in the southwest land that was supposed to win the weak.

"snort!"

Expressing his dissatisfaction with a cold drink, Zhao Bingli forcibly suppressed his anger and did not make use of it.

When it comes to the core strategy, everyone will keep it strictly confidential, and it is normal if it cannot be found out.

What's more, the current intelligence system is still supported and sponsored by the Zhao Clan. With his own ability, he is still unable to build an intelligence organization in such a short period of time.

In this regard, the princes of all walks of life are similar. The Great Zhou is really too big. It has only been in troubled times for a few years, and it is simply not capable of building its own intelligence organization.

Since it is sponsored by others, naturally we can't ask for too much. When the great cause is going well, this intelligence organization is the help; if the great cause is in danger, these guys are the certificates and reminders that people use to invite credit.

Even if Zhao Bingli is the core disciple of the Zhao Clan, it is the same on this issue. Once the dragon battle fails, it is also inevitable to be abandoned.

"My lord calm down!"

The middle-aged counselor at the side spoke persuasively.

"The current situation is actually not too bad. Although the front line has suffered a small setback, the overall front line is still stable, and the loss is nothing more than a few counties that have nothing to do with the overall situation.

Fighting for the top in troubled times is not limited to the gains and losses of one city or one place. According to our previous analysis, what the King of Southwest is plotting now is the seven Lingnan prefectures. "

While speaking, the middle-aged man took out a map of the Great Zhou and laid it out on the ground.

"Look, my lord, here are the ten states in the southwest, and the land of Lingnan is on the right. If the Southwest King occupies Lingnan, it will form a strategically leaning angle and cause two sides to attack us.

Right now, the most important thing for us is to hold back the enemy's footsteps and buy enough time for rectifying internal affairs. Don't look at the size of the Southwest King's territory, but in terms of background, it is far inferior to the prince's five counties.

Especially the number of high-level warriors. The Southwest King killed so hard the year before last that there was no one else except the Li family's own Jindan warriors.

This kind of operation allowed the Southwest King to completely control the ten states in the Southwest, but high-level warriors are not Chinese cabbage, and if they are gone, they will be gone forever.

Although we are in a bit of pain for the time being, as long as the internal affairs are rectified and the five states are tied together, the advantage will come back.

Now that we have suffered a small loss, we can definitely get it back. In addition to the Lingnan King, who is interested in the Southwest, there are also King Wu and King Dan. We can invite them to send troops together. "

The truth is not important, at least the middle-aged man's analysis is well-founded. Zhao Bingli is very clear that now is not the time to be serious.

The aristocratic families in my own territory are more powerful and seem to have an advantage in the high-end power level, but the problem is that these guys are not easy to use.

It is simply unrealistic to want these old immortals to work hard. Once the limelight is wrong, these guys are the first to defect.

If he couldn't do it, he also wanted to follow Li Mu's example and wipe out all the disobedient guys.

It's really come to the critical moment of fighting for dragons in troubled times, how can a few golden elixir warriors be able to control it?

Even the strong Yuanshen can only play a supporting role at that time. In the end, it is the general trend that determines the outcome.

Since the ancient emperor created the method of controlling luck, the battle for dragons has undergone fundamental changes. After turning into a dragon with luck, Qianlong Yu can sweep away most of the strong souls with the power of luck.

The most important thing is that even if they can win, few dare to win. Not everyone is as ruthless as Gu Zhou, everyone must be in the human way, and it is only a matter of time before the general trend of violating the human way hits the street.

Not to mention Yuanshen warriors, even Jindan warriors hide far away, and try not to make a move if they can, fearing that they will encounter doom.

After lingering for a while, Zhao Bingli nodded and said: "Defeng is right, the King of Southwest is not the enemy of our family. There is no reason for us to deal with it alone and let them watch the fun.

I want to invite King Wu and King Dan to send troops to attack the Southwest. Now I need eloquent people to go to the two places. "

...

He didn't know that a random feint attack would cause the enemy's strong anxiety. Li Mu, who wanted to organize the coalition to attack, was busy at the moment to deal with the aftermath.

Facts have proved that there is a price to pay for one night. Although no evidence was left behind, the three saintesses of the Bliss Demon Sect and Tianxia Walking of Shuiyue Temple disappeared in Ningzhou City together, which caused an uproar.

That's all for the Bliss Demon Sect, after all, it is an existence that cannot see the light. Although the name is not small, the influence in the world is very general.

Shuiyue Temple was different. Before they could react, Fairy Qingling's licking dogs started to act.

An endless stream of martial arts practitioners flocked to the land of Ningzhou, almost digging three feet into the ground. All of a sudden, feuds and murders emerged one after another, causing the local government to complain unbearably.

Looking at the witch who stayed out of the matter and gloated at other people's misfortunes, Li Mu knew that she had been tricked.

It's just that this kind of thing is really hard for him to say. In the final analysis, he still did not resist the temptation.

Looking at the madness of the dog licking outside, you know that you must carry it to the end. This kind of thing must never be admitted, even if it is discovered by others.

From now on, the three saints and one fairy are dead. Before unifying the world, they can only spend their days in the secret realm.

At one point, Li Mu had the idea of ​​killing someone to silence him, but he couldn't bear the strange look in his princess's eyes, and didn't want to be labeled as a "scumbag" or a "beast".

It is a pity that these labels seem to have been marked long ago. At least in front of his own princess, that is the case.

Explanations don't make sense, threats don't work. Since her identity was bleached, her own princess has become more and more like a hostess, and she doesn't take his threats seriously at all.

In fact, Li Mu was a little puzzled about the relationship between the two now. It is impossible to have no feelings, but it is not always true how deep the feelings are.

Glancing at the smiling beauty holding the piano, Li Mu said angrily, "Don't look at the joke, you caused the incident, hurry up and find a way to deal with the aftermath! I know you have a way to solve it."

Different worlds have different rules of the game. I have been in this world for more than 20 years, mainly in court, and rarely get involved in Jianghu affairs.

In the past, he was proud of the world, but Li Mu has rich experience in the world. It's ridiculous that there is no Shuiyue Temple and Bliss Demon Sect in the proud world, such alternative female sects!

Compared with the familiar Hengshan School, Shuiyue Nunnery is not like a pure place of Buddhism, but more like a training institution for Buddhism.

It's a pity that the transmission of information remains unchanged, and everyone has too little experience to see their true colors. One after another, the licking dogs rushed forward one after another.

As if she didn't like Li Mu's tricks, Bai Yuyan rolled her eyes and stopped the sound of the piano and said, "My lord, don't you feel guilty for saying this?

It is obvious that you are greedy and lustful to cause trouble, how can you blame it on the slave family?

It's not impossible to let the slave family take the blame, my four maids, you don't want to touch them in the future.

How about the slave family erasing their memories and selling them into a brothel, so how about finding someone to take the blame? "

Sure enough, once a woman gets married, her nature is exposed. The hidden witch nature is too lazy to cover up now, and it is directly displayed in front of Li Mu.

If you can't smell the strong jealousy, Li Mu will be in vain. It seems that the four people are given to him to enjoy, but in fact he is excluding competitors.

The witch who is good at playing with people's hearts obviously understands: For men, what they can't get is always the best.

No emotion, pure desire, as long as the novelty wears off, that's all.

As it turned out, she was right. Now Li Mu really has no feelings for the four of them, after the initial excitement is over, that's all. At least he won't turn against her because of the four of them.

"Stop giving me bad ideas, the mess is already big enough now. If you do something else and stimulate the brains of the group of sperm outside, I don't know what will happen.

Don't forget, now you are the lonely princess, not the saint of the Bliss Demon Sect. This kind of thinking that fears the world will not be chaotic is absolutely unacceptable. "

Li Mu said warningly.

He had absolutely no hope for the integrity of the beauty in front of him. If she doesn't get rid of these messy thoughts in advance, maybe she can really do it.

Li Mu has seen Bai Yuyan's madness before. In order to trample her competitors under her feet and not give them a chance to stand up, this person can do anything.

If it wasn't for the excitement, maybe those four unlucky guys would have died by now.

"cut!"

After contemptuously despising Li Mu, Bai Yuyan said softly, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, the slave family will not cause you any trouble.

People are forgetful, it is enough to create a big event to divert everyone's attention. Presumably the prince is very clear about what people in the world like.

Randomly fiddle with a treasure inheritance, attract their attention, and the matter will be resolved.

Without Fairy Qingling, they would still have Fairy Bailing, Fairy Purple Spirit, Fairy Red Spirit...

You men are all the same, you are all lovers of the new and dislike the old. There are so many substitute disciples in Shuiyue Temple, we won't let everyone wait for long. "
