Chapter 2786 Xun You’s plan, Styx’s excitement
Chapter 2782: Xun You’s plan, Styx’s excitement
There were three major battlefields in the Qin and Wei wars:
On the battlefield of Dongjun in the north, Bai Qi has crossed the Yellow River and captured most of Dongjun. Wei only has three strong cities left in Baima, Yanxian, and Puyang;
At the Chenliu battlefield in the central part, Li Cunxiao broke through the three major defense lines. Zhang Liao and Jia Xu led their troops to Guandu and faced off against Cao Cao. The two sides continued to fight.
At the Yingchuan battlefield in the south, after Ying Hao captured Yangzhai, the former administrative center, he led his army to attack Xuchang, the old capital of Wei.
The loss of any one of the three major battlefields may lead to a complete defeat, but now there are signs that the Wei State cannot hold on to the three major battlefields, especially the situation on the Yingchuan battlefield is the most critical.
Under the fierce attack led by Ying Hao himself, the Yingchuan Wei army became increasingly weak, with almost only the power to parry. If Song State had not sent reinforcements, it would have been unable to hold on long ago.
With the war progressing to this point, almost anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Wei State is already declining and its demise is not far away. Once the Wei State falls, the Song and Ming Dynasties will naturally be defeated one by one.
Not everyone wants to be buried with the Wei, Song, and Ming Dynasties, so they naturally want to reserve an escape route for themselves, and the direct manifestation of this on the battlefield is that they do not dare to completely offend the Qin Dynasty.
If an ordinary general thought this way, Le Yi would naturally not care. After all, it is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, but Niu Mohuang was not an ordinary general.
Not only is he third in the general list, but he is also the most powerful general in the Central Plains. He is the only one in the entire Central Plains who can confront Li Cunxiao. If he is not firm in his stance against Qin, it will obviously affect a large number of people.
Although Niu Mowang had already lost to Li Cunxiao in the previous battle, and it was a humiliating defeat. He only lasted ten rounds and was defeated, but many people think that the reason why Niu Mowang lost so miserably was mainly because of Too much energy was consumed in the previous battle.
If Niu Mowang was in his prime, even if he was not Li Cunxiao's opponent, he would never be defeated so miserably.
Le Yi felt the same way, so he wanted to transfer Yin Zhou. Since Niu Mowang could not defeat Li Cunxiao alone, they should combine their efforts to fight against Li Cunxiao, but he never expected Niu Mowang's anti-Qin stance. Something went wrong.
Le Yi could actually understand that someone like Niu Mowang, who was the first adopted son, was now going against his own sect, and when he met fellow sect brothers on the battlefield, it was normal for him to be merciful under the guilt in his heart.
If it was just Yu Yuan, that would be fine, but the problem is that Niu Mowang still shows mercy to Jia Fu. This is a very fatal position issue.
Niu Mowang came to cover for himself under the guise of trying to capture him alive. This could barely fool Lan Yu, but how could he fool the two old foxes Le Yi and Xun You.
The more Le Yi thought about it, the more irritated he became. Li Cunxiao had already arrived, and the pressure on the Dongjun battlefield was further increasing. If Niu Mowang was still timid and showed mercy, it would definitely affect the entire Dongjun war situation.
But he is still indispensable on the Dongjun battlefield. After all, he is the only one in the entire Central Plains who can fight against Li Cunxiao.
It’s too difficult for me. Le Yi couldn't help but complain in his heart.
"well…"
Le Yi sighed softly and asked: "Military Xun, do you think Niu Kui will surrender to Qin?"
Xun You pondered for a while and said firmly: "No, Niu Kui is the most loyal person. His sworn brother died at the hands of Ying Hao, so he will definitely not surrender to Qin."
“But he showed mercy to the enemy on the battlefield.” Le Yi said with a headache.
"Niu Kui is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. He may just want to leave a way out for his wife and children."
Hearing what Xun You said, Le Yi sneered: "Want to leave a way out for your wife and children? He didn't show mercy to anyone in Qingnan, but why did he show up like this when he came to Wei Kingdom? This guy has no sense at all. Act like you are honest and honest.”
“Grand Governor, if Niu Kui doesn’t take a firm stand against Qin, he will definitely get into trouble sooner or later. We must make him make up his mind.” Xun You said calmly.
“But what if he doesn’t want to?” Le Yi asked.
Xun You smiled coldly and said in a deep voice: "Then help him make up his mind."
Obviously, Xun You is plotting against others again, and this time it’s his own ally.
——————
Taishan, Jade Emperor Peak, the original residence of the Taishan Sect, has now become the headquarters of the Demon Sect Tianwaitian.
The Taishan Sect was originally one of the Five Mountain Sword Sects. When Tianmen Taoist Master was the leader, he was killed by a bribed traitor and a heretic because he refused to comply with Zuo Lengchan's ambition to annex the Five Mountains. The Taishan Sect also Therefore, it was annexed by Zuo Lengchan.
Zuo Lengchan's Songshan sect was originally located in Sizhou, but because of his murderous behavior and dirty hands and feet, he was afraid that he would be liquidated by the Qin Dynasty, so he moved the sect to Hebei.
After Zuo Lengchan arrived in Hebei, he did not give up on annexing the Five Mountains. After he annexed the Taishan Sect, he quickly triggered a counterattack from the other three mountains. In particular, Feng Qingyang, the Supreme Elder of the Huashan Sect, personally came to kill Zuo Leng. Zen.
After Zuo Lengchan learned about it, he was so frightened that he directly defected to the Demon Sect. Only then did he avoid being killed by Feng Qingyang, and Taishan and Songshan also became affiliated forces of the Demon Sect.
With the Demon Sect as his backer, Zuo Lengchan's ambitions further expanded and his actions became more bold.
After Da Qin occupied Hebei, the interests of Zuo Lengchan's forces were greatly damaged. They actually united with the local sects and aristocratic families in Hebei to form a team of 3,000 people, intending to intercept and kill Ying Hao's car returning from Youzhou. shelf.
Zuo Lengchan's interception this time, not to mention Ying Hao himself, even Ying Hao's substitute did not succeed and died under the strangulation of Heibingtai. The Taishan sect was also destroyed, and the Hebei World and Jianghu sects were also destroyed. He was liquidated, killed by Hei Bingtai and bleeding like a river, but the Demon Sect didn't even dare to let out a fart.
Although the people in the Demon Sect act arrogantly and domineeringly, they are not brainless idiots. They know who can and cannot be offended, and Da Qin is obviously a force that cannot be offended.
After the Qin Dynasty sent troops to the Central Plains, in order to deter the Demon Sect from intervening in the war in the Central Plains, it sent twenty-four great masters to guard the Central Plains. This move indeed shocked the Demon Sect and the three profound masters behind it.
After that, Minghe sent his grandson Ye Ding down the mountain and made a promise to Da Qin that the Demon Sect's Xuan-level combat power would not go down the mountain and would also restrain everyone in the Demon Sect. The only requirement was to show mercy to Niu Mowang's family.
So, Li Cunxiao's mercy on Niu Mowang was actually allowed by Ying Hao, because this was Styx's only request. Ying Hao has abided by the agreement, and Styx will naturally abide by it, but the elements of the Demon Sect are too complex, and even he cannot restrain everyone in the Demon Sect.
Yuan Jiuling, the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect, and Zhongjiu, the leader of the Heart Demon Sect, one under the banner of seeking justice for his disciples, and the other under the banner of helping an old friend, went down the mountain to participate in the war in the Central Plains.
After Minghe learned about it, he immediately explained to Da Qin that this was just the personal behavior of Yuan Jiuling and Chongjiu. Da Qin could deal with the two of them at will, and the Demon Sect would never take action. This barely relieved Da Qin's dissatisfaction.
At present, although there are constant frictions between Daqin and Momen, they are generally on the right side and are generally developing in a good direction.
This also made Styx, Kunpeng, and Kui Gang relieved, thinking that this war had nothing to do with them. After all, they did not want to provoke the behemoth of Great Qin.
On the top of the Jade Emperor, Styx looked at the carrier pigeon in his hand with a look of surprise in his eyes. After all, his son-in-law had always kept a distance from him, but now he took the initiative to contact him. It was obviously something important.
After Minghe opened the letter and read it, he was suddenly surprised, because the letter told about how Niu Mowang showed mercy to Yu Yuan and Jia Fu successively during the Battle of Dunqiu, and then Li Cunxiao showed mercy to himself.
“This stupid cow has learned its lesson.”
Ming He murmured to himself that although he had fought for an opportunity for his son-in-law and his family, he still needed his son-in-law's cooperation. If Niu Kui was still killing people randomly on the battlefield, if he killed a high-ranking Daqin official, then it would be his own. It’s not easy to save face either.
Styx originally thought that Niu Mowang's pedantic temperament might not listen to him, but now it seems that he also knows how to behave, and even if he doesn't care about his own life and death, he will still consider his wife and children.
“That girl from Iron Fan didn’t choose the wrong person.”
Styx nodded with satisfaction. He was obviously very satisfied with Niu Mowang's understanding, but what followed made him look shocked.
“Jia Fu, with his early-stage grandmaster skills, was able to compete with Niu Kui, who was at the grand master level. Moreover, Niu Kui said that his true energy was somewhat similar to that of the master. Could it be that...”
Ming He was startled at first, then showed a look of surprise, and analyzed to himself: "Could it be that Jia Fu got the "Blood Nerve" by accident? It is precisely because he practiced the "Blood Nerve" that he has such explosive power. powerful?"
Among the Xuan-level masters today, only Styx is majoring in the art of blood and energy, so no one understands the subtleties, breadth and depth of the art of blood and energy better than him.
With normal cultivation, no matter how hard a junior master practices, it is impossible to fight against a great master. Then there is only one possibility left. Jia Fu cultivated "Blood Nerve".
Only Jia Fu cultivated the "Blood Nerve" and thus mastered the more advanced power of blood energy in advance, so he could fight against the great master with his initial level of cultivation.
“This must be the case, and it can only be the case.”
Styx's face was full of excitement, and he said excitedly: ""Blood Nerve", I have been looking for "Blood Nerve" for fifty years, and now it has finally been released."
The reason why Styx has been looking for "Blood Nerve" for fifty years involves a secret from long ago.
One hundred years ago, Buddha Luohu brought his two disciples, Zhunti and Jieying, from Tianzhu to the East to preach. The novel Buddhist doctrine soon caused a sensation, and a large number of Han people voluntarily followed Luohu to listen to his teachings.
Luohu selected thirty-six people and accepted them as disciples, and Styx and Qui-Gon were among them.
Later, as Buddhism grew, it was boycotted by various university sects in the East, and wars between Buddhism and Taoism also broke out.
Taozu Hongjun led many masters from hundreds of schools of thought to surround and kill the Buddhist disciples headed by Buddha Rahu.
After all, Buddhism is a foreign sect with insufficient foundation in the East. Naturally, it cannot compete with various schools of thought, and Luo Hu died in the hands of Hongjun.
Although Rahu died, he preserved his disciples and passed on his life-long work "Rahu Sutra".
The threshold of the "Rahu Sutra" was too high, even Styx and Kuigang could not practice directly, so Luohu divided the "Rahu Sutra" into three volumes: upper, middle and lower.
The previous volume "Blood Nerve" was given to Qui-Gon.
The middle volume of Shura Sutra was given to Styx.
The second volume of "Buddhist Sutra" was jointly helmed by Zhunti and Jieyin;
After the "Rahu Sutra" is divided into three, one can practice to a quasi-half-mysterious sutra individually, and the three sutras combined into one are complete Xuan-level skills. However, due to the limitations of heaven and earth, no one can break through the Xuan-level skills, so they can only Cultivation to the semi-mysterious Dzogchen realm.
Luo Hu hopes that his disciples will unite and be friendly, and after they have reached the quasi-half-mysterious level, they can exchange skills with other brothers, confirm each other, and then break through to the half-mysterious realm.
What Luo Hu never expected was that just after his death, internal strife broke out among his disciples to **** the scriptures, and they killed each other.
Styx and Kuigang joined forces with other Han disciples to kill Zhunti and Jie Yin in order to seize the Buddhist Sutra, the second volume of the Rahu Sutra. However, due to improper planning, Jie Yin stole the Blood Nerve in advance.
Styx and Kui Gang couldn't steal the chicken but lost the rice, so they naturally vowed to recapture the "Blood Nerve". However, during the fight, Kui Gang and Zhunti tore the scripture in half.
There are more later
