In the Heavens

The plan did not change quickly, and the sudden change made the King of Lingnan bewildered. The alliance was agreed, but at the critical moment, all the allies lost the chain.

Everyone expects others to fulfill their ally obligations and make a fortune in silence. So that when things came to an end, only Lingnan King was left to fight alone.

There were no accidents. Facing the siege of the two overlords at the same time, Lingnan King was naturally unable to resist.

Eastern Dianzhou, which suffered from the ghost disaster, was the first to fall, and then the two princes Xu and Cai also joined the team that made trouble. No matter how good the talks were before, they couldn't resist everyone's desire to expand.

Human nature is so realistic. At this time, there is still a glimmer of hope for expansion to become a winner, and the only way to fail is to fulfill the obligations of allies.

It's useless to talk about anything else. Now everyone is fighting for a chance. From the moment you set foot on the road of fighting for world hegemony, there is no way out.

The princes from all walks of life rushed to attack first, and the world fell into chaos. If the Lingnan King was the first unlucky guy, then the Yue King was the second unlucky guy.

Being dragged into the war by Li Mu seemed like a small loss in strength, but it consumed a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources.

Just after the war ended, before he had time to catch his breath, he was targeted by King Wu again. Taking advantage of the opportunity that King Yue's troops were dragged on the border of South Vietnam and had not yet been transferred back, King Wu suddenly attacked the land of East Vietnam.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that Wu and Yue are one. If the king of Wu wants to become a real overlord, he must first win the land of Yue.

When the opportunity came to him, King Wu naturally would not give it up. If you don't take advantage of the current opportunity to expand your power, it will be difficult to unify Wuyue after all parties react.

Li Mu was not annoyed at being taken advantage of by others. Now that he has participated in the game of Chaotic Hegemony, he is ready for this.

Temporary victory does not mean anything, only the final victory is the real winner.

After winning the predetermined two states, Li Mu stopped his offensive. In the big chessboard of the world, Lingnan is just a corner.

Now that the situation has changed, the previous strategy has become no longer applicable, and the strategy must be readjusted.

...

"My lord, just now there is news from the family that the four princes in the north, Liang Wang, Wei Wang, Jin Wang, and Yan Wang, have formed an alliance, and it seems that they are going to clear the field first.

According to the current development of the situation, the heroes of the north will certainly not be able to stop the four princes and kings for a long time, our plan must be changed.

If we follow the original strategy of fighting steadily, I am afraid that the northern overlord will be born before we pacify the south. "

The one who spoke was an uncle from the main line. Since the bets were divided, it must not be enough just to talk.

Li Mu is self-sufficient in terms of financial and material resources, and the main source of support is naturally manpower.

The background of a powerful family is not only reflected in force, but also in the talent pool.

As long as they can continue to win, these people are the most reliable help. If the fight for the dragon fails, it goes without saying that it will definitely be sold for a good price.

Li Mu has long been aware of this aspect. Individuals may be able to remain loyal, but interest groups must be able to be bought. Loyalty is only because the price offered by others is not enough.

In any case, the joining of these people has injected vitality into the small group and changed the embarrassing situation of two or three kittens and puppies.

This world is really too big, counting units from south to north are thousands of miles, it is too difficult to build an intelligence organization.

Even in the Dingyuanhou Mansion, which has been passed down for more than three thousand years, the information in hand is only based on marriage. Only aristocratic families have the real strength to lay an intelligence network all over the world.

Right now, in terms of intelligence, Li Mu has to rely on the main line. It is not easy for one's own intelligence organization to cover one's own territory.

Behind the four great princes in the north are the four powerful families. Rather than saying that the four great princes jointly cleared the field, it is better to say that the four powerful families are jointly clearing the field.

The ancient emperor was seriously injured, and the surviving royal line was licking his wounds. The deterrent power of the Great Zhou no longer existed, and he was unable to continue to suppress these powerful families.

Now is just the beginning, and the next four great families will continue to exert their strength. If Li Mu was not considered a member of the powerful family, he would not have received the news in advance.

If we really wait until the clearing begins to receive the information, it will be completely over. Once the situation in the north is settled, they will inevitably move south.

Compared with the strength of these princes in the south, it is obviously not at the same level as these giants in northern Xinjiang.

Even rapid expansion may lead to unstable foundations and deep internal hidden dangers, but with the support of a powerful family, these problems can be temporarily suppressed.

The big deal is that the new dynasty is short-lived, which does not affect the victory of the Dragon War.

I don't want to be reduced to cannon fodder in this changing situation, the only way to unify the southern states is before that. Even if the entire south cannot be taken down, at least half of the south must be unified in order to have the confidence to fight.

When it was time to make a decision again, Li Mu stared at the map and sighed secretly. As an ascetic, he was forced to get involved in the game of fighting for hegemony in troubled times, and got deeper and deeper.

"The Lingnan strategy ends here, turn around and attack Yue. After taking the land of Nanyue, we will enter Wu in a roundabout way. This time we must take the land of Wu and Yue to lay the foundation of the king's hegemony.

Send someone to tell the king of Chu that Gu agreed to conclude a two-year non-aggression pact. Anyway, the world is in chaos, so just play big! "

Domineering comes from strength. If he didn't break through the Yuanshen Realm, Li Mu could only hold back even though he knew that the situation in Northern Xinjiang was about to change.

Maybe they can only let the main line connect and sell the foundation they built for a good price. Wait until the world is unified, and then find a way to slowly plan the power of heaven and earth among ghosts and myths everywhere.

The ghosts are scattered all over the world, if you really want to get them yourself, I'm afraid you won't get them all in less than a hundred and eighty years.

It will take even longer to set up the Heavenly Court, accumulate enough background, and transcend this world.

Shouyuan Li Mu is naturally not lacking, but his wife and children who are proud of the world can't wait. Even if the spiritual energy begins to recover, it will not change the reality that the world is not enough.

Waiting for Qian'er to return to Xiaoao World after 800 years, it is estimated that his grandson's grandson will only have fossils left.

Now everything is different, the authority of heaven and earth is added to the realm of Yuanshen, basically invincible.

Even if you encounter a strong immortal, you can protect yourself. It's not that Li Mu is bragging, if he really wants to hide, he can hide his breath even in front of a strong immortal.

As your strength increases, you will also become more courageous. It's fine for the behind-the-scenes supporters to abide by the rules. If the rules of the game are broken and enter the arena, he doesn't mind quietly killing a few Yuanshen warriors.

After deciding to send troops to the land of Wu and Yue, the war machine in the Southwest was fully activated. Unlike before, they teamed up with others to carve up the land of South of the Five Ridges. This time they fought alone, and they might be besieged by princes.

However, Li Mu is also a man of credibility, and he can't do anything to deceive his allies. Unable to fulfill their ally obligations, they would rather not ally with others.

Even if it was signed with the King of Chu, it was only a two-year non-aggression treaty, not an alliance. The emperor may not care about reputation, but the emperor of heaven cannot.

In order to practice one's own Dao, this hurdle must be overcome. Thinking about the myths and legends, the Jade Emperor has experienced 132,000 kalpas, so you know that the position of the Emperor of Heaven is not easy to sit.

Of course, no matter how difficult it is to sit in the position of the Emperor of Heaven, it is more comfortable than the position of the Emperor of Heaven. At least the way of heaven is precious in eternity, unlike the way of human beings who make trouble every now and then.

Especially the human nature in this world is too active, if it weren't for the Emperor Gu Zhou being cruel to human nature, Li Mu would not have dared to join in the excitement of fighting for dragons in troubled times.

With humane dominance, if he finds that the Emperor he has chosen suddenly quits, he will explode.

It's better now, Humanity is recovering and licking his wounds. There is no extra energy to play tricks, and there is a chance to jump out of the chessboard.

...

I don't know when, the number of Yingying and Yanyan in the palace suddenly increased, often making Li Mu upset.

Huanfeiyanshou, all kinds of beauties dangle in front of him every day, constantly testing his Taoism.

The temptation is too great. As a normal person, it is inevitable to make mistakes occasionally.

Li Mu was also very helpless about this. That strong dragon aura is the root cause of his inability to resist the temptation.

Obviously, in order for him to give birth to an heir as soon as possible, everyone has also tried their best.

"My lord, you must be careful when attacking the land of Wuyue. Four of the five sects of the devil's way have their lairs in the land of Wuyue.

The troubled times were originally the time when the Demon Sect was most active, but now it suddenly fell silent. No matter how you look at it, there are problems.

The slave family suspects that behind King Wu and King Yue, there may be the shadow of the Demon Gate. These guys have always been masters who don't follow the rules, and anything is possible. "

Bai Yuyan, who turned into a noble lady, rubbed Li Mu's shoulders while speaking earnestly.

It can be seen that the number of Yingying and Yanyan in the mansion is increasing, and the witch is also feeling the pressure.

Compared with these noble girls from wealthy families, she has no foundation at all, and even her identity was forged with the help of Li Mu.

If he doesn't show some value, he might be abandoned at some point. The most ruthless emperor's family, counting on the emperor's friendship is the most unreliable.

Li Mu is naturally clear about the witch's little thoughts, but he doesn't expose them.

Right now the situation is unclear, if the general situation is established and the marriage with the powerful family, that will be the real pressure.

Even in the eyes of many people, the current princess is occupying the position. In the end, the battle for the dragon was victorious, and the one who entered the East Palace was still a powerful woman from a family.

The social atmosphere is like this, and the whole world is proud of marrying the same family. It doesn't depend on personal will at all.

If it weren't for the witch's mentality to be good enough, it might directly collapse the mentality of ordinary people. The princes who caused disturbances in the back house were not just one or two families.

If Li Mu had not repeatedly stated that he would not be a heartless person, I am afraid that the beauty in front of him would be even more worried.

Grabbing the beautiful woman's little hand, Li Mu said proudly: "Don't worry, it's fine if the Demon Sect knows the times. If they don't know how to live or die, then we can take care of them together.

Now the general trend is in my hands, no matter who joins in, they are all looking for their own death! "

Even though there was a lot of water, Li Mu was the first to complete the Qi Luck Transformation Dragon. In the eyes of all the subordinates, this is the so-called "mandate of heaven".

As long as the victories continue, this perception will become more and more ingrained. Knowing that this is false, but Li Mu is still fueling the flames.

The label of destiny can greatly enhance the loyalty of subordinates, increase the centripetal force of the team, and everyone will work hard when doing things.

When conquering the world, it can play an important role.

...

Li Mu made strategic adjustments, and the princes from all walks of life were not idle. Although I don't know what happened, it's right to hit.

There is no pure land in the world from south to north. The continuous wars have brought a large number of casualties, making the silent Ghost Dao lineage the biggest beneficiary.

A large number of people who died in vain turned into ghosts and began to plague the village. Various cult organizations followed this wave of east wind and continued to grow and develop.

However, the princes from all walks of life are busy fighting for hegemony, so they have no time to pay attention to these small changes. In fact, most of the princes did not know that a new round of ghost disasters was brewing.

In this era when the imperial power does not go to the countryside, as long as there is no major disturbance, the local rich will not trouble the yamen.

By the time they approached the yamen, the situation was almost out of control, and it was beyond control.

But there are exceptions to everything. After Li Mu's reform, the ancient well field system was restored, and the ruling mode of the Southwest has changed.

Although the rule of the village is still inseparable from the clan, at least the influence of the imperial power has been penetrated, breaking the information monopoly of the aristocratic family.

Ordinary rural clans don't have the means to deal with ghosts, and there is no benefit to be gained when encountering such a thing, so naturally they report it as soon as possible.

As soon as the ghost disaster showed signs of resurgence, the news was immediately fed back to the ghost town yamen, and the report was quickly completed.

Li Fan, who is over 30 years old, has matured mentally after years of hard work in the officialdom.

After receiving the news, he immediately retrieved the files of ghosts from all over the country, realized that it was not good, and hurriedly held a high-level meeting in the Ghost Town Division.

"Dear colleagues, the world is plagued by military disasters, and ghost disasters are already showing signs of resurgence. Especially in the border areas, there are often evil ghosts running around and committing crimes.

The prince has already decided to make a northern expedition to pacify the land of Wuyue, and the pressure we will face in the ghost town will be even greater.

Not all areas are as peaceful as our southwest land. Under the rule of many princes, there is even a ghost king entrenched.

In order to meet new challenges, we must take more active action. The official wants to set up a list of exorcising ghosts and formulate a reward standard. Anyone who kills evil spirits can receive a reward. "

As soon as the words fell, the deputy on the side objected: "Commander, setting up the list is easy, but the difficulty is how to identify it.

Unlike ordinary murderers, evil spirits have no physical form, and it is difficult for ghost killers to come up with evidence. It is easy to have impersonation incidents, which will not only chill the hearts of ghost hunters, but also breed corruption in the yamen.

In order to solve this problem, we have thought of many ways, but ultimately failed. "

The only way to identify evil spirits is breath, but this thing can be disguised. As long as you have been in contact with it, there is a way to retain its breath, which cannot be used as evidence for killing ghosts.

There are too many of the most troublesome evil spirits, and there are not a few of them whose breaths are close to each other. Ordinary people can't distinguish them at all.

Unless Zhengui Si personally sent someone to look at it, it was obviously impossible to do so. If there were so many people, I would have finished the work myself, and there would be no need to offer a reward.

Glancing at his subordinates, Li Fan shook his head: "This time it's different, ordinary ghosts are not within the scope of the bounty, we only bounty the king of ghosts.

Only Jindan fighters, yin god cultivators, and Confucian level powerhouses can accept the task, and the difficulty of identification is much lower. "

It wasn't unexpected before, mainly because the ghost kings in the southwest land were all under Li Mu's command, and they didn't come out to make trouble at all.
