The heavens start from saving Daming

Chapter 900 Wen Zhong’s doubts

Yuanshi Tianzun was very angry, but the reality was very sad.

Taoist Ran Deng has not returned for a long time. There is only an Antarctic immortal beside him, and his heart is very desolate.

He wants to take revenge, but he may not be able to defeat the enemy he finds, and he doesn't even know who the enemy he can't find is.

What's even more unlucky is that he was affected by the previous battle with the Tongtian Cult Leader and had to retreat to practice.

At this moment, Yuanshi Tianzun was so angry that he wanted to destroy the entire world directly.

In the end, the coldness brought about by thousands of years of practice made him calm down, and he asked the Antarctic Immortal to close the mountain and retreat, and he returned to the dojo to retreat.

Revenge can wait, enemies are immortal anyway.

Now the first thing is to get yourself back into shape. Strength and cultivation are the foundation for anything you do.

Many other saints are similar. They no longer pay attention to the matter of conferring gods and measuring calamities. They return to their respective dojos and start to retreat, waiting for the important moment to arrive.

The result of the sudden suspension of the high-end game was that the human war, which had been ignored before, suddenly started to heat up.

Without the intrusion of the monks, the war between Xiqi and Dashang was rekindled.

Wen Zhong heard that the Grand Master was very proud and believed that without the help of the monks, Xiqi was no match for Dashang. It would take at most three months to completely eliminate Xiqi.

This confidence does not come out of thin air, but comes from sufficient confidence.

First of all, the strengths of the two sides are not equal.

If Dashang's national power is ten, then Xiqi's national power is at most two or three.

Although it has the support of slave owners from all over the country, it is only half the strength of Dashang.

Secondly, in terms of logistics and military resources, the productivity of Dashang has increased rapidly since the reform.

Advanced technology, efficient organizational capabilities, and the enthusiasm for production and life that emerged from freed slaves and civilians whose tax burdens were relieved led to a rapid increase in the number of various products of Dashang.

In terms of materials, Dashang could even outnumber Xiqi by at least ten to one.

Having nothing, not even your life, is incomparable to the efficiency of working and producing under the supervision of sharp blades and whips, and the efficiency of producing what you produce is your own.

The former can even secretly sabotage and even lead to starvation.

As for the latter, he was willing to work for three days and three nights without rest.

Furthermore, most of Xiqi's troops were slaves, supplemented by regular sergeants who controlled and monitored the slaves.

On Dashang's side, the majority are freed slaves. At the same time, Li Yunze has long promulgated a new military merit system, and those who achieve military merit on the battlefield will receive corresponding rewards!

Xiqi's side worked for nothing, and they didn't even get a pension when they died. They even just dug a hole and buried them casually, without even a grave.

But here in Dashang, everything is given. Even if someone dies in battle, his family can receive compensation and even his ashes can be sent home.

The fighting will of the armies on both sides really makes the difference from heaven to earth.

It was precisely because of this that Wen Zhong had absolute confidence and successfully captured Xiqi without the involvement of monks.

However, just when he was arranging his troops and preparing to attack with a large army, Fei Lian, the senior official, came from Chaoge City as an envoy.

"Fei Lian has met the Grand Master."

Wen Zhong's status in Dashang was extremely high. Even though Fei Lian had reached the high position of Zhongdafu, he still had to be respectful and polite when facing Wen Zhong.

"Ah."

Wen Zhong was not arrogant at all. After returning the gift, he simply asked, "Why are you here, Doctor Zhong? My military affairs are urgent. If you have anything to say, just tell me."

He was really busy, mobilizing the army to transport military supplies and assigning tasks, and he had no time to chat with Fei Lian.

"Yes."

Feilian did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly took out the letter and said, "This is the letter from the king to the grand master."

Wen Zhong took the letter, opened it and browsed it. After a moment, he suddenly stood up with his eyes wide open and yelled "This is impossible!"

The letter was indeed written by Li Yunze, but the content was to ask Wen Zhong to postpone sending troops and not to attack Xiqi now.

Naturally, Wen Zhong didn't believe or accept this kind of thing.

He immediately yelled at Fei Lian and asked, "Is there a traitor in the court who is bewitching the king?"

When he thought about it, how could the king, who had always behaved like a wise master, issue such an unreasonable order.

Xiqi is about to be eliminated. Why don’t we stop fighting at this time?
  The king would not do this, there must be some treacherous officials deceiving the king.

Fei Lian was also taken aback and waved his hand quickly, "Master Haojiao knows that all court officials are loyal ministers."

Wen Zhong was stunned for a moment. Thinking about it carefully, it was true.

Although he was on the front line, he still knew what was going on in the court.

At this time, Bigan Shangrong was the leader of the court, and most of the other ministers were recommended by them. They were all said to be fair and capable, and could never be treacherous ministers.

But Wen Zhong couldn't understand the order in this letter.

A ceasefire when victory is certain?
  Wen Zhong stared at Fei Lian and asked, "Is this the king's handwriting?"

Fei Lian immediately understood what it meant, and immediately called Chong Tianqu, "Grand Master Mingjian, how can I have the guts to forge the king's handwriting? You only need to send someone to ask about this kind of thing. I'm not crazy." ! Your Majesty wrote this in front of me.”

Wen Zhong, who was puzzled, finally invited Huang Feihu and entrusted him with all the affairs of the general. Then he rode the black jade unicorn and ran back to Chaoge City with sparks and lightning.

When he returned to the city, he didn't even go home, but ran directly to the palace.

Everyone along the way had different expressions when they saw Master Wen coming back angrily, and various gossips spread wildly.

Wen Zhong naturally didn't say much. He just rode the black jade unicorn to the front of the Star Reaching Tower. Li Yunze was naturally aware of such a big movement.

He calmly ordered people to invite Wen Zhong into the Zhaixing Tower.

Under the propaganda of Xiqi's spies, Zhaixing Tower has long been said to be a place where wine, meat, and beauties abound.

Although everyone who has been here knows that this is nonsense, there is nothing you can do about it. People who eat melons like to hear this kind of story.

The more rumors are refuted and the more explanations are given, the more people believe it to be true.

So Li Yunze has been persuading Bigan and the others, "Don't explain, it's useless."

This is why Xibo Hou Jichang, who has more than [-] sons alone, is considered to be of high moral character.

But Di Xin, who obviously only had two sons, was scolded for being a dishonest person.

The reason is very simple. The history books were written by Ji Chang's descendants. Of course they glorified their ancestors and viciously cursed their enemies.

It was clear that Emperor Xin wanted to abolish the burial system and free the slaves, but it was passed down to later generations. During the Battle of Muye, the freed slaves turned against the enemy and took the initiative to help the slave owners headed by Ji Fa. He turned over Di Xin who helped him.

Anyone in their right mind knows this is bullshit.

But that’s what people say, and it becomes true as they say it.

The real Star-Zhaing Building, as Wen Zhong saw it at this time, was just an ordinary wooden attic.

The most important venue is the dojo where Li Yunze meditates and practices.

Not to mention wine ponds and meat forests, there isn’t even a bowl of rice porridge here.

As for the beauty Li Yunze, even if he practices the set of exercises given to him by Xuanyuan Huangdi, he will not be here.

"Your Majesty."

After meeting and saluting, Wen Zhong stopped talking nonsense and directly asked, "Is it true that the king ordered his ministers to postpone the attack on Xiqi?"

Li Yunze nodded, "It's true."

Arriving on the road, Wen Zhong was already mentally prepared and was not too excited. He just asked in a deep voice, "Why?"

"Because I need this war to continue."

Li Yunze's response made Wen Zhong puzzled, "Why is this?"

Isn’t fighting just for the pursuit of victory? I really don’t understand why I don’t fight when I have a chance to win.

The real reason is, of course, that once Xiqi is defeated, this time the Tribulation of the Gods will be over.

Once the calamity is over, the chaos of heaven will disappear. Those powerful saints can deduce the secrets of heaven.

The so-called deduction of secrets is actually a peek into the future.

Although there are infinite possibilities in the future, Li Yunze's true identity will inevitably be exposed to the eyes of the saints.

This is something Li Yunze cannot tolerate under any circumstances.

After killing Taoist Zhunti and many monks with different strengths and weaknesses, his current strength can defeat any saint in a one-on-one situation. Only Patriarch Hongjun is unpredictable and unpredictable.

But a sure victory does not mean that it can be won in one go. It still requires a battle.

As for the battle between saints, the energy fluctuates greatly. Even if the chaos clock is used to block time and space, it will not be able to stop it for long.

Once other saints sense it and rush over, Li Yunze will end up being besieged.

Therefore, the Conferred God Calamity Tribulation cannot be ended now, at least until Li Yunze is powerful enough to be able to fight without fear even if all the saints are on the opposite side.

However, if this reason cannot be told to Wen Zhong, then he can only be persuaded by other reasons.

"Teacher."

First, he asked Wen Zhong to take a seat, and then Li Yunze explained, "What does the grand master think of the innovations I promote?"

Wen Zhong was slightly startled for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes."

The merchants' sacrifices were very cruel, and the lives of the slaves were also extremely miserable, because they were not treated as human beings at all.

Many people didn't want to see this, but the slave owners were too powerful to object.

Now that the king has come forward, many people agree.

Wen Zhong is one of them.

"But this innovation has touched the interests of too many slave owners, and it is tantamount to robbing benefits from their hands."

Li Yunze stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the west. "The rebellion in Xiqi is essentially the resistance of the slave owners who opposed the reform."

Wen Zhong nodded again, this was not wrong, it was the fact.

"But the Great Shang, Xiqi is not the only one with slave owners."

"Which of the four major princes and eight hundred small princes is not a slave owner?!"

"So what if we defeat Xiqi? The other princes will continue to rebel in the future, one after another."

"Instead of having to fight against rebellions that will be so troublesome in the future, why not give them a chance to jump out on their own, gather them all together, and then catch them all in one fell swoop!"

Wen Zhong understood everything and stood up directly and asked, "Your Majesty, how can we make them jump out?"

"Simple."

Li Yunze's smile continued: "Let Xiqi win until they attack Chaoge!"
