Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Chapter 198 The battle over luck
Why do we need to capture cities and plunder land?
The main purpose is to plunder the country's destiny.

People have luck, and so do mountains and rivers. When attacking a city, taking it is the luck of the people; when plundering land, taking it is the luck of the mountains and rivers.

The combination of the two is the destiny of a country, so conquering cities and seizing territories is plundering the destiny of a country.

This is also why, when two major forces are at war, they do not send masters to fight, but instead send the lower classes to fight for territory. They intend to plunder the other party's luck and weaken its strength.

If two major forces fight, there is no way they can win the battle without weakening the other side's luck.

One reason is that it is unlucky to kill someone with great luck. If you don't reduce his luck first, you will suffer backlash immediately after killing him. At the very least, your luck will plummet, and at the worst, your cultivation will regress.

We can take Emperor Xin as an example in this regard.

Yuanshi Tianzun only needed to make a move to easily crush Emperor Xin. But why didn't he do it? Instead, he went to great lengths to support the Zhou Kingdom, hoping that it would replace the Shang Dynasty.

The reason is luck. Emperor Xin has gathered the luck of the nine states in one person, which is of great importance. Even if Yuanshi Tianzun is a saint, after killing him, he cannot withstand the backlash of the luck of the nine states.

Yuanshi Tianzun himself will be fine, but the Chan sect will definitely be finished. All the Chan sect disciples will die, and no one will survive.

Even Kunlun Mountain is experiencing a sharp decline in spiritual energy.

The price was too high, even Yuanshi Tianzun could not afford it, so he had to support the Zhou Kingdom and gradually weaken the fortune of the Shang Dynasty.

In this way, when the Shang Dynasty was destroyed, Emperor Xin, as the king of a fallen country, would be no different from an ordinary person without the blessing of luck and could be easily defeated.

The second reason is that, nowadays, the situation of the vassal states is the same as that of the Shang Dynasty. There is no internal unity, and there are many contradictions between the monarch and his subjects. This makes the national destiny scattered and it is difficult to exert its full power.

But once faced with foreign invasion, they would immediately put aside their internal conflicts, become united again, turn their spearheads, and unite against the outside world.

This resulted in the originally scattered national destiny immediately condensing into one, thus bursting out with even greater power.

The State of Su is a big country with a very great national fortune. When it is dispersed, the blessing on Su Hou can only give him the power of Daluo perfection.

But once it is condensed into one, it might give him power comparable to that of a quasi-saint.

In order to prevent this from happening, it is natural to weaken the national fortune of the Soviet Union before the war.

Otherwise, as the fighting goes on, the people of Su Kingdom will become more and more united, so that Su Hou's strength will skyrocket, and he will break through from Daluo Jinxian to Quasi-Sage. That would be a lot of fun.

Even if they can still win in the end, the price they pay may not be something that the current Shang Dynasty can afford.

……

Ever since the emergence of the Way of Qi and Luck, whenever two major forces fought, they would first attack cities and seize territories, because this method was the most effective in weakening Qi and Luck.

Huang Feihu followed this line of thought and came up with the method of attacking the city from the weak to the strong. It cannot be said to be wrong, it can only be said to be too upright.

As the saying goes, the art of war is all about deception. If you want to attack the Su Kingdom with lightning speed, you have to use some tricks. Huang Feihu's strategy is too straightforward and inappropriate.

"If you ask me, there is no need to think so much. Just lead the army deep into the heartland of the Su Kingdom and attack Su City. If you can succeed, then succeed. If not, then surround Su City and wait for help from all parties."

Seeing Huang Feihu asking him for advice, Ao Bing spoke very radically.

“This…” “Su City is the center of the Su Kingdom, where luck converges. Even if more than ten Daluo Jinxians join forces, they may not be able to break it.”

"With our limited number of troops, even if we can reach the vicinity of Su City, I'm afraid we won't be able to break through it. As for besieging the city, let's not talk about whether we can do it. Even if we can, what about our supplies?"

"The army is besieging the city, and the spiritual fluid and elixirs consumed every day are huge. If there is no sufficient supply, once the spiritual fluid and elixirs we carry are exhausted, we will not be able to retreat even if we don't want to."

Huang Feihu was expecting Ao Bing to say something profound as a disciple of a saint, but he got such an outrageous speech instead.

If a solitary army were to advance deep into the enemy's territory and attack Su City directly, it would truly shock the world and cause fear among the princes.

But the problem is, no matter how you look at it, there is no possibility of success, and the probability of death is even greater.

Su City is the center of the Su Kingdom, and there are countless masters in it, including several Daluo Golden Immortals. With just their 40,000 Refined Void and 100,000 Innate Immortals, if they dare to run over, they may not be enough for them to kill.

"According to the military formation handed down by Emperor Xuanyuan, ten professionally trained virtual refining soldiers can slaughter celestial beings together."

"Over a hundred, he can kill Xuanxian; over a thousand, he can kill Jinxian; over ten thousand, he can kill Taiyi; over a hundred thousand, he can kill Daluo."

"Forty thousand refining virtual soldiers is indeed a little too few, so we need to continue to mobilize troops. It would be best to gather a hundred thousand refining virtual soldiers, so that we can ensure that nothing goes wrong."

"As for how to get to Su City and how to solve the supply problem, Huang Hou doesn't have to worry about that at all. I have ways to solve it."

"In short, please rest assured, Lord Huang. Da Shang and I will rise and fall together. I will never joke about the future of Da Shang. Since you dare to do this, you must be absolutely sure."

Knowing what Huang Feihu was worried about, Ao Bing said with confidence to let him rest assured.

"Could it be..."

Seeing Ao Bing so confident, Huang Feihu suddenly understood something. He thought that after the army set out, there must be masters from the Jiejiao coming to support.

Although Su City’s defense is strong, as long as the Jiejiao masters are willing to take action, even Chaoge City can be breached, let alone Su City.

Thinking of this, Huang Feihu couldn't help but laugh at himself, but he forgot that Ao Bing was different from him, and was the last disciple of the saint of Jiejiao.

He only needs to give a call to the Jiejiao immortals who are difficult for others to invite, and immediately a large number of people will come to help.

"It's good that Uncle Long has an idea in mind. We are still short of 60,000 refining soldiers. Go and mobilize them now."

After knowing where Ao Bing's confidence came from, Huang Feihu suddenly became confident. After leaving a quick message, he left the tent and continued to mobilize troops.

The 40,000 Lianxu and 100,000 Xiantian that were mobilized earlier were just the vanguard, and there were more troops waiting behind. No matter how confident Huang Feihu was, he was not confident enough to destroy the Su Kingdom with just this few troops.

As for the fact that Da Shang only has 100,000 Void-Refining soldiers, if Ao Bing transfers them all out at once, will it leave Da Shang empty and open to being taken advantage of by foreign enemies?
There is no need to worry about this. One hundred thousand Void-Refining soldiers are just the limit of what Da Shang can support, not the limit of Da Shang.

In the territory of Da Shang, let alone one hundred thousand, even tens of millions of refining masters can be gathered.

It was just that the current resources of the Great Shang could only support 100,000 Void Refining soldiers. Therefore, most Void Refining cultivators usually practiced at home.

But once a war breaks out, they only need to put on armor and immediately become qualified soldiers.
