Chapter 305 The situation in the underworld, a three-defeat strategy

The underworld is so gloomy and desolate.

The sky is dark and gray, and the main theme of death and desolation is everywhere. Sometimes there are evil storms that blow out souls, and sometimes there are groups of crazy ghosts killing people.

However, the wandering ghosts walking on the land of the underworld have long been accustomed to it. They must be careful to avoid them according to the survival rules summarized by their predecessors.

Some new ghosts are hard to get used to, and old ghosts with a hint of kindness will wake them up. If the underworld doesn't do this, wouldn't it mean that they will enjoy happiness after death?

Most of the Yin ghosts living in the underworld are in a state of lethargy all day long, and their Yin life is wasted every day, just because they cannot see hope.

The short-lived glorious underworld collapses, and the passage of reincarnation disappears. Sooner or later, everyone's soul will be gone. It is better to live in fear of waiting for death.

However, there is always a way, even in the underworld where there is no reincarnation, there are ways to survive for a long time and live well.

If you are lucky enough to seek refuge with some old gods and receive their blessings; or you may become a hero among ghosts and gather people to build a city, ordering the ghosts to collect some precious treasures like soul crystals, or even have enough subordinates to gather incense and wish to embark on the journey yourself Shinto is also possible.

It's just that many ways are difficult to copy. Either you have deep blessings or you are a leader with extraordinary abilities.

The truly recognized good place in the underworld is the Blessed Land Yin Ting, a blessed land and a place to enjoy happiness.

After the collapse of the underworld and the chaos of the rules of the underworld for a long time, the rules of the blessed land were finally evolved, which was enough to protect one party's continued hope.

Living there, you don’t have to worry about natural disasters and ghost tribulations outside. Your life is just like the Yang world. The key is that you can still be nourished by the blessed spiritual light and have a long Yin life.

The smallest semi-blessed land can accommodate hundreds or even thousands of ghosts, and an ordinary family blessed land can accommodate thousands of ghosts without any problem.

As for the Great Blessed Land that builds the Yin Court and even the Dragon Court further up, it can be regarded as a safe and comfortable underworld country. As long as the foundation of the Yang World does not collapse or the savings are sufficient, it is easy to accommodate tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of Yin Souls.

These Yin Court blessed lands are self-produced and self-harvested. Whether it is the development of land farming resources or the operation of systems to form social order, they can nourish a large amount of luck and maintain the longevity of the blessed lands.

Therefore, in addition to recruiting new ghosts with roots in the Yang world, it is often necessary to recruit a large number of ghost ghosts in the underworld. This is also a way for the blessed land to gain a foothold in the dangerous underworld.

For many ghost town owners who have no great ambitions, after losing hope of extending their lives, the best choice is to lead their ghost soldiers to join a blessed land.

Daxia was promoted to a kingdom in the Yang world, and its Yin court in the underworld naturally benefited from it. The aura covered a radius of five hundred miles, and was slowly expanding with the increase in luck in the Yang world.

The houses inside are neat, the city and palaces stand majestically, the farmers working hard and the merchants doing business are in order...

Teams of elite Yin soldiers wearing armors shuttled back and forth, and a trace of luck visible to the naked eye naturally grew.

But the most eye-catching thing is that flowers, plants and trees can be seen everywhere. They are blooming with green vitality, which is in sharp contrast to the overall darkness and silence of the underworld outside.

If these scenes were placed in the Yang Dynasty, they would be just an ordinary county and country. In terms of environment and population, they would be much worse.

But this situation is in the desperate land of the underworld, and it is extremely attractive to any ghost.

Many old-fashioned ghosts and gods who are hiding in the world and are unwilling to join the blessed land can't help but feel a little shaken. They secretly muttered, even if they are the Dragon Court of the Dynasty, many of them don't have the vitality of the Yin Court of Great Xia, right?

Could it be that the Xia Kingdom is doing very well, or is its development in line with the general trend of Hades and Earth, and has received the attention and favor of Hades' will?

Is there a glimmer of hope for the underworld named Daxia? Why not take a gamble and invest in advance...

The powerful ghosts and gods are still slowly considering the observation, but many wandering ghosts and even the dominating ghosts can't help it.

In the underworld of Qinzhou, a large number of wandering ghosts are heading towards the border of Liangzhou in groups. They migrate long distances and cross ancient boundary monuments, just to join the native blessed land of Daxia Yinting.

When the Tianyuan Underworld was still there, Taozu made preliminary geographical divisions corresponding to the Yangshizhou domain in order to shape the order of the underworld.

Qin and Liang did not exist at that time, and only the scope of the Hades in several states in the Central Region had been specifically confirmed. However, the subsequent geographical ownership of the continent's living beings after birth and death greatly stabilized the order of the Hades, and this division of state boundaries was incorporated into the underlying rules of the Hades.

Even after the collapse of the underworld, the establishment of new states and vassal states in the Yang world still formed certain geographical boundaries in the underworld, and living beings would only go to where they belonged after death.

At the junction of Qin and Liang, in front of the ancient and vicissitudes of the boundary monument, many ghosts with strong souls were discussing something. Looking at the surrounding ghosts, they separated into groups, and there were many talents with outstanding luck and aura among them.

A leader of the ghost soldiers with a big ax in his hand and full of evil spirit. He usually kills decisively and has a good reputation in Qinzhou, but now he is very hesitant.

He couldn't make up his mind and asked the powerful soul at the front again: "Boss Shu, if we really have to cross the boundary monument, this will shorten our life span and even our luck. What if Xia Ting doesn't accept us?"

Another small leader with many soldiers and horses agreed: "Yes, Xia Ting, a person like you, will accept it no matter what, but I have hundreds of brothers who can't go in vain."

The ghost hero known as Boss Shu was named Shu Yin. He was the powerful leader of a ghost town. Most of the soldiers who followed him were recruited along the way, except for the troops from his own army.

Surrounded by his soldiers, Shu Yin was so powerful that few of the ghosts dared to look at him, but at this critical moment, he had to come up with something real.

I saw the thick Yin Qi in his arms dissipate, and a majestic imperial edict flashing with golden light trembled slightly. At the same time, a sword on his waist that had never been seen before attracted attention. "This edict was issued by Xia Ting, appointing me as the leader of Daxia Yin Army Camp. This sword was given to me by Zhou Xiangwen, Earl of Zhaohui, when he came to my ghost city. Even if the ghost king is here, I will not be afraid." Shu Shu Yin then snorted coldly, pulled out half of the blade and shot out cold light, making the ghosts bow their heads.

"You can't trust me, you still can't trust Xia Ting, or you can't trust the new nobles who come to the underworld?!"

After that, Shu Yin took the lead and jumped over the Liangzhou boundary monument without looking back.

Hundreds of brave ghost soldiers followed him behind him, and thousands of wandering souls who gathered halfway followed without hesitation. Those two things couldn't be fake.

Looking at the migrating team drifting away, the discussions among the leaders became obviously urgent.

"As soon as Uncle Zhao Hui entered the underworld, he was granted the title of Prince of Xia in the Yang Realm. It is true that he was ordered to recruit ghost heroes from all over the world for Xia Ting. Why not just follow Boss Shu."

"But I also heard rumors on the way that Xia Ting is going to build cities in Qinzhou's underworld, and auras will also be generated."

"Well, the general trend has been decided. Xia Ting will definitely unify Qinzhou, but there is something wrong with Boss Shu that he didn't explain clearly..."

After a brief exchange, half of the ghost soldiers finally chose to follow Boss Shu to the Summer Court Paradise. The aura and blessings that filled the sky when he was promoted to the kingdom could be seen with his own eyes.

Boss Shu, who was walking more than ten miles ahead, finally felt a little relieved and quietly took out the will in his arms and took a look at it.

It turns out that the more talented ghosts he brings, the better the corresponding treatment and official positions will be given by Xia Ting. The ghosts behind him who have tried their best to bring him here are just the promotion level.

Three thousand capable ghost soldiers, as well as talented warriors, scholars, and craftsmen with auras of aura, they might be able to get a high look from the God Lord and be granted a priesthood.

Ghost heroes like Shu Yin are not an exception. The owners of the ghost cities in the blessed land of Qinzhou Underworld saw that Xia Ting's situation was becoming a success and joined them one after another.

……

The drastic changes in the underworld will naturally affect the families and forces that have roots in the underworld in Yangshi Qinzhou.

Ancestral halls provide warnings, ancestral spirits entrust dreams, white smoke rises from family graves at night, and other strange phenomena emerge one after another.

Many powerful families are colluding with warlords, and there are undercurrents surging, but Xia Jun needs to open the loophole first, otherwise all the talk about the general situation and luck will be in vain.

Three years ago, there was a civil war among the Qinzhou warlords. Zhao Qi believed that the opportunity was too good to miss and sent [-] Liang troops to attack Qinzhou. However, they were blocked by Yuguan for a whole month and could only return without success.

If it were a normal siege, with the strength of [-] former troops, no matter how many days it would take to capture the city, the damage would definitely be considerable.

Once the delay lasts for a long time and the internal warlords in Qinzhou gather to resist, the advantage of the front army's sudden advance will be lost, and the mission entrusted to the front army by King Xia will definitely end in failure.

Capture dangerous strongholds, open up marching channels, occupy as much territory as possible to form strategic depth, and provide a good decisive battle environment for the arrival of the Chinese army.

The reason why it only took one year to conquer Liangzhou is inseparable from the fact that Xia Guo first went to Fentie County as a springboard.

Huang Jingtong knew very well that the purpose of the imperial court's order for his vanguard was not that he was brave and good at fighting, but that he knew himself and the enemy.

After fighting against the Qin soldiers for a year and dozens of small and large battles, he had already figured out the characteristics of the major generals.

On October 21, Huang Jingtong only ordered a thousand men to attack Yuguan at night. He met the Qin army who had been prepared for it and suffered his first defeat.

The next day, without waiting for the siege equipment to be put in place, Huang Jingtong "impatiently" ordered a strong attack. Over the course of the day, the Xia army suffered considerable damage and its morale declined.

"If I had known that the soldiers of the Xia army were good at climbing the city, how could I have allowed you to succeed? Now that the elm pass is completely reinforced with smooth bluestone and supported by gold-leaf mulberry wood, it should be foolproof hahaha!" General Yan Jianyu Looking at the defeated Xia Jun on the wall, he laughed proudly.

"The general has won two games in a row. It seems that Xia Jun is nothing more than that."

"Yes, King Xia appointed a junior as commander, why should he attack my Qinzhou!"

"If the Xia army behaves like this again, the general might as well take the initiative. As far as the villain knows, the court has never appointed the governor of Hongyan County." After two consecutive victories, the heavy and tense atmosphere in Yuguan was swept away. The Major General is already planning more.

In the next two days, Huang Jingtong seemed helpless when facing Yuguan. After losing his troops and generals, the Qin army successfully launched a surprise attack out of the city. He had no choice but to retreat thirty miles and ushered in his third defeat.

The Qin army was satisfied with its three victories, but the Xia army lost its edge after three defeats.

On October 25, when he learned that Xia's army was still halfway there, Yan Jian mobilized all the soldiers and horses in the city to pursue the victory.

The officers and soldiers of the Qin Army, who were dazzled by the victory, would not think about why Qiang Xia was not worthy of its name, nor would they care about the Xia Army, which was always known for its marching efficiency and could not reach the front line for support for a long time.

Huang Jingtong's plan was to target Yan Jian, make him arrogant, increase his power, and then lure him out of the strong city to defeat him.
