Chapter 284 Fusion Period
As soon as winter passed, the wind direction slowly changed.
In Luoyang, the royal descendants of the six countries, led by Su Qin, entered the palace and, in front of all the ministers, reiterated their position to the regent - to submit to Dai Viet.
When this scene took place, the descendants of the six nations who were jumping around outside felt embarrassed.
The original version has admitted defeat.
A bunch of pirates still have the nerve to wave the banner of national restoration? ?
The most brutal was the public opinion offensive against Xiang Yan, because those were all facts and irrefutable.
The old general Xiang Yan was so ashamed that he no longer had the face to lead troops in Xiang Yu's army. He went back to his hometown and lived in seclusion, no longer asking about the affairs of Xiang Yu's rebel army.
This was equivalent to breaking Xiang Yu's arm in one fell swoop.
As the wind gradually picked up, the rumor about "an evil dragon descending to earth and the world in disaster" became more and more popular.
The facts are there.
Since the rise of the Yue State in the land of Baiyue, it has never done anything against heaven and earth, and His Majesty the First Emperor has never done anything immoral. How could it be cursed by God?
There must be some evil person behind this.
So who is this monster?
It is obvious that both Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, who were possessed by the dragon spirit, could not escape the blame.
…
In April 205 BC, the large-scale encirclement and suppression campaign planned by the imperial court finally began.
In order to wipe out the rebels active in Jingzhou and Yangzhou in one fell swoop, under the unified dispatch of the Minister of War Bai Qi, the Xuanwu Army, the Canglong Army, the City Guard Army, and the Suzaku Army each mobilized a legion.
After the reduction of the last three corps, it was equivalent to an all-out attack.
The 450,000-strong army launched an attack simultaneously from the north, west and south, taking its time. Every time they recaptured a city, they would stop to consolidate the fruits of victory.
It is imperative that local rebellions not be allowed to recur.
It seems that the imperial court is not in a hurry to eliminate the rebels in a short period of time.
There is a reason for this.
Previously, Bai Hua and Bai Qi had agreed that the deadline was one year. Now, only half a year has passed, and the food and material reserves are not sufficient, and part of them have to be used to provide relief to disaster victims.
The reason for starting the war early was also because of the public opinion offensive launched by Zhang Yi, which had unexpectedly good results.
We can pursue the victory.
The longer the war drags on, the more prepared the imperial court becomes, and the more food and supplies it has. On the contrary, although the land of Jingchu is rich in resources, it is also not immune to natural disasters.
People elsewhere were starving, so how could the people of Chu be an exception?
In the early stage, the reason why the rebel army was able to continue to grow and develop was that they were not restricted to one city or one place, and they grew and developed in an almost nomadic manner.
Just like a swarm of locusts passing through a border area, they loot and supply wherever they go.
But what about now?
The rebellions outside Jingzhou and Yangzhou had been completely put down. Liu Bang's troops were trapped in Jingzhou, and Xiang Yu's troops were trapped in Yangzhou, and neither of them could find a way to break out.
Even if they run away, people from other places will not follow them to make trouble.
That's courting death.
As a result, the two rebel forces lost their greatest advantage and could only fight like trapped beasts.
Looking back at history,
The Qin Dynasty fell in the second generation due to too many coincidences. If the imperial court had done something and Hu Hai had shown some courage, the situation would not have deteriorated to that extent.
…
The encirclement and suppression campaign lasted for more than half a year, and at the beginning both sides fought in good order.
As time passed, the rebels' food shortage became more and more serious. Not to mention the civilians in the area, even the rebel soldiers were starving and became skinny.
What combat effectiveness can such an army have?
The result was that the imperial army had just arrived at the city when the local rebels offered no resistance at all and simply surrendered the city, as if they had been expecting the imperial army to arrive.
In the later period,
Bai Qi could have ended the battle earlier, but he instead sent new soldiers to the battlefield and used the two rebel forces to train the new troops.
Liu Bang and Xiang Yu were so angry that they vomited three liters of blood.
When it was October and winter was approaching, the imperial army launched a general offensive.
A great victory, naturally.
Forced into a desperate situation, Xiang Yu committed suicide by slashing his throat at the Wujiang River. He died in obscurity before he could even shine.
Liu Bang was even more miserable.
He was betrayed by the people around him, and his head was cut off while he was sleeping and presented to the court.
The great turmoil that had lasted for nearly two years was quelled in this way. The land of Kyushu, especially the Jingchu area, was in ruins.
I'm afraid it will be impossible to fully recover within ten years.
…
The earthly immortal world, Xuandu Immortal Continent.
Deep inside the Luofu Hall of Yuxu Palace, inside a cave, on a cloud bed, Yun Zhongjun was stunned for a moment as he looked at the scene of Liu Bang's troops surrendering.
Liu Bang, the man he chose, was defeated just like that?
Yun Zhongjun originally thought that he had attached enough importance to the Emperor of Dai Viet, and had laid the groundwork for seven years before allowing Liu Bang to appear on the scene with the help of a real dragon.
In order to help Liu Bang ascend to the throne, Yun Zhongjun also deliberately tried to win over the Tai Chi Master of Laojun Temple, and asked Laojun Temple to suppress the two major sects of the Academy and the Taoist Temple.
He also used the influence of Yuxu Palace to suppress the Yin Yang Sect.
In Yun Zhongjun's opinion, the biggest enemy that hindered Liu Bang's ascension to the throne was Xiang Yu, who was promoted by Jinao Island. As a result, the two of them were tied together and dealt with by the imperial court.
There were hardly any big waves.
"Where did these strange people come from?" A hint of doubt flashed in Yun Zhongjun's eyes.
He is a little confused...
But no matter what,
It is absolutely impossible to expect Yun Zhongjun to give up his control over the lower world.
But how to do it?
Choose another chess piece and stage a new uprising? Not to mention whether it will succeed, the key is that Yuxu Palace can't afford to lose face, and there is no reason to do it again and again.
Thinking of this, Yun Zhongjun cast a sound-transmitting sword talisman and shot it out of the cave.
Slightly tilted,
A man dressed in blue walked into the cave, and judging from his cultivation level, he was actually an earthly immortal.
"Disciple Li Chen, hello to Master!"
"Yes." Yun Zhongjun nodded slightly, a small white token appeared in his hand, and he threw it to Li Chen in mid-air, "One year later, you will go to the lower world."
Li Chen took the token respectfully.
Don’t underestimate this token, it is the legendary token of ascension. Holding this token, one can travel back and forth between the earthly fairyland and the underworld. It is the immortal’s pass to the lower world.
Ascension Orders are extremely rare and limited in number, and most of them are in the hands of the Celestial Immortals. The key is that an Ascension Order can only last for one round trip, after which it will become invalid and become a useless piece of scrap metal.
"Master asked me to go down to the mortal world. What instructions do you have for me?" Li Chen asked.
"After one year, the Emperor of Dai Yue in the lower world should come out. You go talk to him and ask him to become a disciple of my Yuxu Palace." Yun Zhongjun said calmly.
But he is preparing to "save the country in a roundabout way".
Since it is impossible to overthrow the Dai Viet Dynasty established by Qin Mo, let Qin Mo join the Yuxu Palace, which is equivalent to sharing the fortune of the Dai Viet Dynasty with the Yuxu Palace.
In Yun Zhongjun's opinion, this was already a huge honor given to Qin Mo.
As the top sect in the world of earthly immortals, countless talented people want to become disciples of Yuxu Palace every year, but they are all blocked from the sect's assessment.
Who doesn't know,
The Yuxu Palace requires not only outstanding talents but also great fortune and extraordinary understanding to accept disciples.
Neither is indispensable.
"Then, what if the Emperor of Dai Viet doesn't understand?" Li Chen asked.
Although he felt that the possibility was very low, since it was something his master had instructed him to do, there could not be any mistakes and all aspects had to be taken into consideration.
There is only one chance to go to the lower world, so of course I have to find out the Master’s attitude in advance.
"You know what to do." Yun Zhongjun's voice suddenly had a hint of chill.
Li Chen shuddered subconsciously, his face became solemn, and he said respectfully: "Disciple understands, I will definitely live up to Master's trust."
"Go down!" Yun Zhongjun slowly closed his eyes.
Li Chen bowed and retreated respectfully.
…
Time flies, and it is already May 203 BC.
In a quiet room deep in the palace, Qin Mo slowly opened his eyes. He was a little confused at first, but gradually he came to his senses, his eyes deep and full of majesty.
His whole body shook slightly, and the dust on his body dissipated with the wind.
He sat there for ten years, fortunately he had a strong physique. If it were an ordinary person, he would have turned into a skeleton after ten years without food or water.
Breakthrough!
Perhaps it was his second breakthrough, or perhaps it was because of his excellent aptitude in this life, but it only took Qin Mo ten years to break through the bottleneck and successfully advance to the fusion stage.
He originally estimated it to be fifteen years, and subconsciously opened his personal panel.
Realm: Early stage of fusion
Soul: Abnormal state, sealed...
Magical weapons: Nine Heavens Mysterious Tower (magic weapon), Purple Sky Sword (sixth level), Double Dragon Scissors (pseudo magic weapon)
Equipment: Six-Yang Qingling Demon-Repelling Armor, Demon Spear
Treasure of Fortune: Imperial Seal
Divine power and Taoist magic: Law of Heaven and Earth (sixth level/twelfth level), Broken Jade Art (fifth level/ninth level), Purple Palace Heavenly Thunder, Five Thunder Heavenly Gang
Skills: "Shenxiao Zhenfa", "Bajiu Xuan Gong" (Volume 1), "Shattering Star Sword Technique"
Remaining experience points: 15 million points
After this breakthrough, Qin Mo's soul was unsealed to the Mahayana stage. It was just a little bit away from being completely unsealed and restored to the peak state of his previous life.
With his current strength, combined with the Nine Heavens Mysterious Sha Tower, he is basically invincible below the Earthly Immortals.
"Huh?"
When Qin Mo saw the experience value column, he suddenly looked confused.
He has been in seclusion for ten years. Logically, even if his annual salary is only 2 million experience points, it should be 20 million points. Why is it only 15 million points?
Qin Mo immediately realized that the Dai Viet Dynasty must have suffered a major change.
Loss...
After the breakthrough, Qin Mo checked the experience points required for the Fusion Stage, which was four times higher than that of the Void Refining Stage, reaching a terrifying 200 million points.
Just to go from the early stage of fusion to the middle stage of fusion, 40 million experience points are required.
Qin Mo is not even halfway there yet.
At this rate, if Qin Mo continued to stay on the throne of Dai Viet and received a fixed salary every year, it would probably take him more than ninety years to accumulate enough experience points .
It might be fast enough for others, but it is a bit slow for Qin Mo.
Most importantly,
For players, the upper limit of the Warring States subcontinent is the fusion period.
After Qin Mo's breakthrough, he can only stay in the Warring States Subcontinent for another three months. If he does not leave after three months, he will be forcibly teleported back to the Primordial Continent.
In the prehistoric continent,
Blackwater City and Black and White Mountain Villa no longer exist, and there is a great demon on earth waiting for revenge.
It makes my scalp tingle just thinking about it.
"Never mind, I'd better go out and see what's going on ." Qin Mo calmed himself down, stood up and walked out of the quiet room.
