Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Chapter 197 The Princes are Daluo

Once a war breaks out and resources are allocated, you can just leave when you want to. There's no need to do anything like "send food before troops move forward" or anything like that.

Of course, it is faster, but this does not mean that the monks no longer need food and logistics, they also need them.

Food and grass do not refer to food and fodder, but spiritual fluids and elixirs. The mana of a monk is not infinite, and monks can also be injured.

During the war, there was not enough time for the monks to slowly recover their mana and injuries. At the same time, not all places were blessed places, and the spiritual energy contained in the air was limited.

If tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of cultivators gathered together, it would be estimated that just by taking a breath, they could drain all the spiritual energy within hundreds of thousands of miles.

Therefore, spiritual liquids and elixirs became necessities and served as food and fodder for the army of monks.

The so-called logistics is to provide the army with an endless supply of spiritual liquids, elixirs, and even magic weapons.

On the battlefield, even monks can die, let alone magic weapons. After a great battle, countless magic weapons will be broken. These need to be repaired by logistics personnel, or even new ones need to be provided.

Generally speaking, there is actually not much difference between the wars fought by monks and the wars fought by mortals. It is just that due to their powerful strength, the logistical supply becomes much simpler and a lot of unnecessary burdens are eliminated.

"There is the State of Su, which has one city, nine large towns, a hundred secondary towns, and a thousand small towns."

"When we send out troops this time, we can ignore the small towns and attack the secondary towns first, aiming to destroy the fortune of the Su Kingdom. Then we will attack the big towns, aiming to cut off its wings."

"In the end, without its luck and wings, the Su Kingdom became a tiger without claws and fangs. It was easy to break through Su City and capture the criminal Su Hou."

In the military camp, Huang Feihu told Ao Bing his plan, which was to first capture the second city, then the third city, and finally attack Sucheng.

Capital, city, and town are the levels of cities, corresponding to the emperor, princes, and nobles respectively.

The place where the emperor lives is called the capital, the place where the princes live is called a city, and the place where the nobles live is called a town.

A city is actually the fief of a noble, which is divided into large and small ones, corresponding to the three levels of nobility, namely, ministers, literati and scholars.

The fief of a noble was a large city, the fief of a scholar-official was a second-rate city, and the fief of a scholar was a small city.

There was one city in the State of Su, nine big towns, a hundred secondary towns, and a thousand small towns. That is to say, there was one prince, nine ministers, more than a hundred scholar-officials, and more than a thousand scholars in the State of Su.

The Yousu Kingdom was made up of them and their clansmen. In addition to them, there were of course other people in the Yousu Kingdom, but they were all slaves, without any power, and were all objects of exploitation.

The situation in other vassal states was basically the same. Only the nobles and their relatives were considered human beings, and the rest were slaves.

Therefore, although there are countless people in Jiuzhou, the actual population is not large. Of course not many, more than 99% of the creatures are not considered human beings, it would be strange if the population is large.

"According to the rules, the position of a human king is comparable to that of a quasi-saint, the position of the three dukes and nine ministers is comparable to that of a Daluo, the position of a scholar-official is comparable to that of a Taiyi, and the position of a scholar is comparable to that of a celestial being."

"The position of the princes of a great country is comparable to Daluo, the position of the ministers is comparable to Taiyi, the position of the scholar-officials is comparable to the celestial beings, and the position of the scholars is comparable to Lianxu."

"The princes of the lower states are comparable to Taiyi, the ministers are celestial beings, the officials are Lianxu, and the scholars are Xiantian."

"The princes of small countries are as high as celestial beings, the ministers are as high as the immortals, the officials are as high as the innate, and the scholars are as high as the acquired."

"The Su Kingdom is a truly great country. In other words, one prince is a great Luo, nine ministers are nine Taiyi, and one hundred scholars and officials are one hundred celestial immortals." "This is only the result of the blessing of luck. It does not include the cultivators supported by the Su Kingdom. If they are included, the strength of the Su Kingdom will definitely increase several times."

"The great country has a profound foundation. It is not easy to deal with it."

After silently calculating in his mind, Ao Bing couldn't help but sigh.

This is the ancient world, where Taoism is practiced and the saints are respected. Therefore, the titles of princes and nobles represent not only status and honor, but also give their owners great power.

Even if a mortal sits on the position of the Lord of the Su Kingdom, with the blessing of luck, he can immediately possess the strength comparable to the top Daluo Jinxian.

"The strength of Yousu should be stronger than we thought, second only to top powers like Zhou and Jiuguo. Therefore, we should not attack Yousu by force this time, but need to outsmart it."

"First, destroy their luck, then cut off their wings, and weaken them from a big country to a secondary country, or even a small country. Only in this way can we defeat Yousu at the lowest cost."

Knowing that Ao Bing was the head coach, Huang Feihu didn't have the final say and only Ao Bing's words counted, so he tried to persuade him again, hoping that he would agree to his plan.

One Da Luo, nine Tai Yi, and one hundred celestial immortals, this is only the most basic strength of the Su Kingdom. Unless the Su Kingdom only has these people, otherwise, the strength hidden in the dark will definitely be stronger.

You know, the strength of a country is not determined by the number of officials, but by its army.

Huang Feihu had no idea about the specific situation of the Su army, but since he dared to rebel, he thought their strength would not be too weak.

If they attack by force, Da Shang will surely win, but they will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

By then, will the Shang Dynasty still have the energy to deter the other princes? Therefore, in this crusade against the Su Kingdom, the Shang Dynasty must not only win, but also find a way to minimize the losses to avoid being taken advantage of by other princes.

If they cannot attack by force, they can only use wits. Huang Feihu believes that his plan may not be very brilliant, but it is definitely the best choice. If he were the commander-in-chief, he would attack the Su State in this way.

But unfortunately, he is not it, Ao Bing is it.

"I roughly understand Huang Hou's strategy. Yousu is a big country with a prosperous national fortune. A head-on attack will only result in heavy losses. So we should attack the secondary cities first, then the big cities, starting from the weak and then going to the strong, and gradually weakening its national fortune."

"In the end, when the Soviet Union is weakened to a small country and its national fortune plummets, it will undoubtedly be much easier to destroy it."

"This strategy is fine. It is fair and just, and it uses the momentum to overwhelm the enemy. But it takes too long. Huang Hou must not forget that this battle is to establish prestige. Winning is secondary. Establishing prestige is the key."

"Not only must we win this battle, but we must also wipe out the Yousu Kingdom with lightning speed. Only in this way can we severely deter the other princes and make them put away their rebellious hearts."

"Although Huang Hou's strategy is good, it is not appropriate to use it in this battle."

Ao Bing first affirmed Huang Feihu's strategy, but finally rejected it. Although the method was good, it was not applicable to the current situation.

To deal with a rebel like the Su State, the attack must be carried out step by step. In the eyes of the princes of the world, they will inevitably wonder whether the Shang Dynasty is doomed.
Once the princes come up with such thoughts, the world will be in chaos soon.

"Then according to Long Bo, how should we fight this battle?" Huang Feihu was not angry when his strategy was rejected. Instead, he asked seriously.

At this time, military tactics were not yet popular, and everyone still fought in the old way, focusing on conquering cities and seizing territory.
