Yuan Shi Tian

Chapter 278 The Promise of Fame
Xun Shaoyu looked at the night sky in the distance, and his mind became peaceful at this moment.

In the past four or five months, he could not sleep well at night. With the initial construction of Zhaoyi, various incidents began to emerge one by one.It is not only necessary to protect the interests of the old tribesmen, but also to ensure the survival needs of hundreds of thousands of Guizhou heads in Shangcai.

Under the pressure of these heavy burdens and the accumulation of various affairs, Xun Shaoyu could only put aside his daily practice and focus on handling the internal and external affairs of Zhaoyi.

Even though he was in charge of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Zhaoyi, he could not cut off the demands of his tribe.

After all, the tribesmen followed Xun Shaoyu, stained the battlefield with blood, and survived a hundred deaths. Some of them were nobles, some were for fame and fortune, some were for utilitarianism. These were part of the 'demands' they deserved.

Since he holds huge power, he naturally has to work hard for it.

If the imperial edict had not been in danger, many parties would have compromised and given in under the pressing internal and external situation.Xun Shaoyu wanted to truly integrate the top and bottom and twist it into a general trend. The effort and thought required to do this would not necessarily yield results in one fell swoop even if it took ten years of hard work.

"The Dongyue Heavenly Army has conquered more than a dozen Golden Imperial Worlds and plundered more than a million golden source powers, which can solve my urgent need."

Xun Shaoyu slowly clenched his fist, and the physical body was refined into a golden body through 72 refinements. If it were completed in 81 refinements, the source power lost in each refinement would be unimaginable.

The so-called path of "body sanctification" is the biggest hurdle in martial arts. Looking at the past and present, who can reach the realm of 81 perfections, there is no one who is not an earth-shattering hero.

Once he has developed a body that is incomparable to that of a diamond and cannot be harmed by non-magical weapons, he may not be able to be called unscrupulous in the main world, but most people will have to think about whether it is worth it if they want to provoke him.

"It's a pity that Taiyi's incarnation has reached its ultimate level. The Shinto has reached the final step from the first-level divine position to the heaven and man. The next step up is the true way of heaven and man. The Shinto is called the emperor's status. No matter how much power he plunders, he It's also useless." Xun Shaoyu rubbed his palms against the bricks, his face showing contemplation.

Although Taiyi transformed into the Dongyue Emperor, he was not a true Shinto Emperor.A true Shinto emperor can be compared with the way of heaven and man, and his magical power is incredible. Compared with it, Taiyi's incarnation is really far behind.

However, the main world only lasts half a year, but in some lower worlds, it lasts as long as one or two hundred years.

During this period of time, Taiyi's incarnation firmly sat in the supreme position of Dongyue Heavenly Court and was the leader of Dongyue Heavenly Law.Taking the top golden imperial world as its foundation, Taiyi's incarnation's cultivation has advanced to a state that is close to the way of heaven and man. It can be said to be the most unpredictable and profound among the five innate incarnations of Taiyi.

Xun Shaoyu was very much looking forward to it. Tai Yi would incarnate and prove the first level of Shinto. He was even more looking forward to transcending the barriers of Shinto and getting a glimpse of the scenery above the super level.

But the incarnation of Tai Yi in Dongyue World cannot be summoned into the main world.Otherwise, a top half-step celestial being would be enough to give Xun Shaoyu a 'thick' trump card.

Xun Shaoyu thought thoughtfully: "It's just that the background of the main world is not friendly to some outsiders."

Regarding the ancient history of the main world, Xun Shaoyu is no longer as ignorant as before.

When he was in Yeting, the white tiger soul that he devoured was a person with a great history, although the white tiger's memory was incomplete.As Xun Shaoyu's cultivation has improved, he has also used the White Tiger Yuan Shen for his own use through the smelting of essence, energy and spirit. His mind and knowledge are greatly different, and he has learned many ancient secrets.

And in the memory of that white tiger, this main world has gone through three eras: the ancient, the ancient, and the ancient, including hundreds of millions of years, and there are countless strong people and powerful people.A celestial being can be called a strong person in the void universe, but in the main world, he only dominates the miserable situation of the human world for a while.Unless one is above the heavens and humans, and further condenses the Tao and Fruit, that is the posture of proclaiming one's king and ancestor.

And the vast divine land of Kyushu is only part of the vast misery!

Xun Shaoyu was in a trance, thinking about the vastness of the main world, and whispered to himself: "The road is long and the cultivation path is long, I will search up and down!"

The main world is so vast that none of the four realms of suffering, concentration, destruction, and Tao can be compared to the Qingchi world.As for whether the Purple Edict World can be compared with it, Xun Shaoyu has no idea because he has never seen a real Purple Edict World.

If Xun Shaoyu could be like the incarnation of Tai Yi, taking charge of the heavenly way of the main world, and instantly realize the boundless and immeasurable Taoism, he would be able to be called one of the strongest in the vast void and universe, in the countless heavens and worlds.

This can also be seen from this how powerful and prosperous the Fang Lord’s world is!
"Lord,"

At this time, Zhu Yuxing held up his robes and ran up the city wall with a happy face.

"My lord, there is a letter from Si Ziqi,"

Xun Shaoyu suddenly woke up and looked at Zhu Yuxing who was running towards him. He quickly took a few steps forward and said with joy: "Oh... Si Ziqi has a letter?"

The value of Si Ziqi's favor was enough to take Xun Shaoyu's power to a higher level.

This senior official had a very good reputation in Lu Guo. As the saying goes, if a gentleman bullies him, the harvest from this favor may be tenfold or a hundredfold.

"Yes, my lord, you see, it is Si Ziqi's letter." Zhu Yuxing laughed, holding a roll of cloth in his hand.

Xun Shaoyu took the letter and slowly opened it to read.

However, after looking at it for a while, his brows frowned unconsciously, as if after weighing it.

"Beat the drums, gather the generals!"

Xun Shaoyu grabbed the cloth, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, making people shudder, and he said decisively.

…………

Inner mansion, main hall!
Dozens of generals stood around, each of them at least half a master level.The leaders of the generals are Chang Yunguang, Shangyang Chao, and Zhu Yuxing.

Xun Shaoyu sat upright and placed the letter on the official case. He looked around at the ministers in the hall. His brows were like the edge of a sword, making all the generals in the hall bow their heads unconsciously.

As Xun Shaoyu's martial arts became more and more tyrannical, especially after reaching the realm of a great master of martial arts.His art of manipulating and employing people is no longer just to invite and buy people's hearts, but to impress people with a dignified and upright posture that makes people irresistible.

"My lord, have you summoned the generals, what's the important matter?"

One of the generals asked, with a hint of anger between his brows.

These generals practiced the way of killing on the battlefield. After several fierce battles, under the pressure of death threats, each of them improved by leaps and bounds. They were all at least half-step masters, and their strength was amazing.

It's just that it is too difficult for ordinary people to step into the realm of [reborn], and those who are not gifted are not qualified to cross this natural barrier.

"Everyone,"

Xun Shaoyu tapped the official case with his fingertips and said solemnly: "There is a letter from Si Ziqi. He said in the letter that the old master has agreed that I will temporarily take over the position of Doctor Cai. He will soon make suggestions to the prince and give him a gift." Cai Jinyin.”

The king has the seal of the king, and the great officials also have the seal of the great officers.

"Oh……"

Hearing this, Shangyang Chao's eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Si Ziqi really has such weight that he can allow the old master to make such a decision?"

You know, Xun Shaoyu is now in charge of Shangcai, but there is no imperial edict or golden edict from Ye Ting, so he is just in name only.In name, he is still the doctor of Nancai, not the master of Shangcai.

As long as this chaos subsides, if Xun Shaoyu doesn't want to fight with the entire Lu State, he will have to give up Shangcai, which is within easy reach.

However, if the monarch really grants the golden seal, even if he only takes Cai's place temporarily, Xun Shaoyu will be worthy of his name. Even after the barbaric chaos, there will be room for maneuver.

The significance of this to Xun Shaoyu was truly extraordinary and a difficult leap.

"After all, Si Ziqi is the son-in-law of the old master, and his status in the heart of the old master is different."

Xun Shaoyu sighed: "Besides, the old master's recommendation for me to temporarily replace Cai is not without conditions."

"I need to fight for this opportunity myself!"

The unfinished heaviness in his words made the expressions of the generals on the left and right change.

Chang Yunguang said bluntly: "My lord, what is the old grand master doing, do you need us?"

An Earth-Wandering Immortal is enough to awe these rebellious generals, not to mention the old Taishi, a veteran of the four dynasties, is enough to convince them in terms of status and identity.

Even these arrogant generals did not consciously use the honorific title when addressing Wen Yuanming.

Xun Shaoyu took a picture of the case and murmured to himself: "The old master Chen Bing Yuanshui is facing off against hundreds of thousands of barbarians. The war is about to break out. One hundred thousand elite troops and 40 barbarians. How brutal this battle will be." It is conceivable that if it is mixed with such a war..."

Shangyang Chao was horrified and said, "Could it be that the old master asked me to go to Cai to send troops to Yuanshui to participate in the Yuanshui battle?"

"This is simply asking us to hit an egg against a stone. The Lord must not take it."

Shangyang Chao said dryly, feeling really panicked.

Today, there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Shangcai, as well as [-] soldiers.But among these soldiers, not even one-third may be called veterans of hundreds of battles.

Fifty thousand soldiers and armor gathered together, not even an elite division.If you dare to get involved in the battle of Yuanshui, you must be prepared to be crushed alive.

The dozens of generals present knew how powerful this was, and they looked at Xun Shaoyu, as if asking.Individuals with a straightforward temperament have to go out and speak out.

With the above strength of Cai, if he goes head-to-head with the barbarians, the result will be tragic.

Xun Shaoyu was silent for a moment, shook his head and said: "Old Taishi has been in battle for a long time, how could he not know that there is a huge difference in strength between Shangcai and the barbarian army?"

"We risked our lives to attack the barbarian army. Apart from adding tens of thousands of lives, what good did it do to the country's affairs?"

He said quietly: "Old Master, he wants me to go into camp and use my soldiers to attack the barbarians' food routes and uproot the barbarians' warehouses, so as to give his army half a chance of victory."

Even if Cai's troops can attack the barbarians' food routes, it can only be done once or twice. If it happens more than once, the barbarians will retaliate in large numbers, and there will definitely be heavy casualties.

In the lower world, magical powers are not visible in the world. Perhaps attacking grain roads is a common method for winning by military strategists.But in the higher world, there are powerful people with vast supernatural powers who can lead troops to cut off the opponent's food routes, which can only have the effect of disrupting the enemy's position. If they want to achieve miraculous effects, they simply don't even think about it.

Shangyang said: "My lord, attack the barbarians' food road, and use hundreds of thousands of barbarian troops. Once the barbarians are angered, Shangcai will be destroyed in one day!"

The faces of all the generals showed signs of vibration. Everyone had different thoughts and expressions.

"My lord, this is a rare opportunity. If we can defeat the barbarians and gain such fame and achievements, there is no need to worry about failure."

Chang Yunguang looked excited and said: "The last general advises the lord to immediately send troops to respond to the north and south of the Old Taishi, attack and disrupt the barbarian troops, and strive for a superior position for the Old Taishi's [-] [Blackwater Warriors]."

"My lord, if this is accomplished, not only will you be able to gain the position of Shang Cai, but you will also be able to use your reputation for fighting against the barbarians to further expand your influence and lay the foundation for seizing the throne in the future."

Chang Yunguang was so excited that he even said "seize the throne".

It's just that all the generals present are Xun Shaoyu's confidants, and they wholeheartedly support Xun Shaoyu's seizure of the throne. Naturally, they have to put a lot of thought into winning the throne.

"is it?"

Xun Shaoyu nodded obediently and said with a smile: "You think long term..."

"However, the fame gained in this way requires the lives of fifty thousand soldiers!"

He pondered for a while, weighing the pros and cons.

The newly built army of [-] people can bully the small group of barbarians by virtue of the geographical advantage.Facing hundreds of thousands of barbarian soldiers, Xun Shaoyu didn't have the madness yet.

With his martial arts master's cultivation, unless he was in a dead end, even if he couldn't defeat him with thousands of troops in front of him, he would still be able to escape easily.

"Master, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity... The old master's promise is more important than Mount Tai. With the old master asking for an edict, this matter will become a nine-tenth chance. As long as the master can cut off the barbarian soldiers' food routes and take charge The status of Shang Cai is easily obtained."

Zhu Yuxing bowed his body and kowtowed, saying: "My lord, such a good opportunity must not be missed."

"My lord, you must not miss this opportunity. We are willing to wrap our bodies in horse leather and vow to defeat the barbarians!" All the soldiers knelt on one knee and shouted in unison.

Shangyang Chao seemed to hesitate for a moment and said: "My lord, this kind of opportunity can only come by chance but cannot be asked for. I... also ask for it!"

The ownership of Shangcai and the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers, which one is more important when put together, is a fatal choice.

No matter which one Xun Shaoyu chooses, he is bound to give up something.

Although Xun Shaoyu had a feeling of saving Si Ziqi, in the eyes of the old master, although he did not have the name of separatist rule, he had the reality of separatist rule, and he had unknowingly become a troublesome figure.

Even though Cholera, compared with hundreds of thousands of barbarians, is just a small thing, it has become a figure that cannot be ignored.

In this way, Xun Shaoyu, who was entrenched on the land of Shangcai and watched the movements of the Yuanshui, naturally became the pawn of the old master.

Xun Shaoyu's ambition made the old master wary.

Wen Yuanming had always stayed away from the power struggle in Lu Guogong's office, but Xun Shaoyu's actions still made the old master feel a hint of danger.

Therefore, this promise is not only a repayment of the love between each other, but also a shackle for Xun Shaoyu to fall into.

"Old Master, do you want to put a rein on me and keep me firmly trapped in this life?"

Xun Shaoyu murmured in a low voice, stroking the letter with his palm.

"Hey...it's a pity that you can't do it!"
