Huang Feifei snorted lightly, and said: "Then if one day, you also prove Hunyuan?"
Dugu Ce smiled slightly, and murmured: "Prove the Dao Hunyuan, become the universe, never wear out, have no life and death, neither increase nor decrease, neither stain nor perish... Oh, I also think, there will be a day!" ...But now, I still feel at ease to seek proof of Da Luo's way, don't be too ambitious!"
The road is long and long, and I will search up and down.
If you want to prove Hunyuan, first prove Daluo.
Dugu Ce sat by the pond filled with thousands of stars again, silently looking down at the twinkling stars that represented the heaven and earth of the myriad worlds.
One of the stars has already been dyed with a layer of true aura belonging to his Dugu Ce.
Volume 703 [-], Storms from the Underworld
The lower bound, Luoyang.
Dugu Ce was sitting in the main hall of his newly completed "Prince Jin" mansion, looking at the map of the territory of the Han Dynasty on the table.
King Jin, this is one of the most honorable one-word princes.
But Dugu Ce not only received the title of King Jin, but also received Jiuxi—since Wang Mang added Jiuxi to usurp the Han, accepting the gift of "adding Jiuxi" calmly has become a symbol of preparing to seek the throne.
The princes of the world have a lot of discussions about this matter.Everyone understood that Dugu Ce was only half a step away from usurping the throne.
Those who were still loyal to the Han Dynasty scolded him as a traitor.Those with ghosts in their hearts also reprimanded him.For a moment, Dugu Ce seemed to be the target of public criticism.
However, this doesn't do anything useful.
Over the years, after Dugu Ce recovered Yongliang and Hanzhong successively, he stopped expanding and concentrated on management.
Under the deterrence of his invincible force, foreign enemies dare not covet him, the territory has not been disturbed by war for many years, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the population is multiplying.In addition, in order to avoid the wars of the princes, there are millions of people, and they have moved into his territory one after another during these years.
Population is the foundation of all industries.
With a sufficient population, not only the rapid development of agriculture, but also the rapid development of industry promoted by Dugu Ce.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the natural conditions were actually not good.
Good weather is just an extravagant hope. Floods, droughts, and locust plagues follow one after another, which is the norm.
However, in Dugu Ce's territory, there are three incarnations of golden immortals sitting in the town, and there are also a large number of warlocks who take refuge in him, as well as apprentices who follow the three incarnations of golden immortals to cultivate immortals.With this large number of powerful magic powers, when there is a drought, the clouds will spread rain, when there is a flood, the clouds will see the sun, and when the locust plague strikes, the locusts will be exterminated... Frequent natural disasters have not brought Duguce's territory. What an impact.
In this war-torn world, not only is the territory of Duguce free from the flames of war, but all industries are prosperous, people's livelihood is prosperous, everyone has a job, everyone has money, and everyone has food to eat.His reputation is naturally lofty and cannot be added.
No matter how the outside world evaluates him, the people in his territory, from officials and officials down to the people of Liming, all respect him highly.Officials and ministers are still a little reserved, but the common people all regard him as a savior from heaven and a man of destiny.Every household of Lishu has his longevity tablet.
With such high popularity, even if Dugu Ce usurps the throne and proclaims himself emperor now, he will only get the unanimous support of his own territory.
As for the princes outside... they only dare to talk about it verbally.If you really want them to raise an army to fight against rebellion, none of them dare.They even worried about whether Dugu Ce would take the initiative to send troops to attack.
You know, after these years of development, the situation in Dugu Ce's territory has spread all over the world.Countless people who suffered from the war but were unable to move a hundred times, always hoped that Dugu Ce would lead the army to kill.
Many princes knew well that once Dugu Ce's army arrived, an unknown number of people would "drink from a ladle to welcome the king's teacher".
The princes were uneasy, but they were lucky.
Because in recent years, Dugu Ce's deeds of guarding the border and focusing on farming have created an illusion for the princes, making them think that Dugu Ce is a temperament of getting rich and not having much expansion ambitions.
Today, however, Dugu Ce is about to break all the flukes of the princes.
"The first target..."
Dugu Ce's finger touched a point on the territory map of the Great Han Dynasty, not far from Hulao Pass: "Xu County, Cao!"
When autumn was high and horses were fat, Master Wang left the prison.
One hundred thousand armored troops flattened Yingchuan with one drum, and rushed straight to Xudi without stopping. Before long, the soldiers came to the heart of Cao's confidant, the city of Xu County.
At the head of the city of Xu County, Cao Cao leaned on the wall and looked at the neat army formation in the distance.
The distance is still far away, and the details of the army formation cannot be seen clearly.But the cold light of pieces of metal shimmering in the sun made Cao Cao feel chills in his bone marrow.
"Lu Ni...how come so much steel? How can you make the army under his command wear iron armor?" Cao Cao muttered to himself, his face gray and bitter, "A hundred thousand iron troops are approaching the city... In this situation, there is no Solution!"
In this era, [-] well-equipped full-time troops are enough to conquer the world.
Regardless of whether the princes are moving or not, there are tens of thousands, 10,000+, and hundreds of thousands of troops on display.However, the vast majority of those troops farmed the fields during the busy season and only trained a little during the slack season. Limited by productivity, in this era of extremely limited food production and extremely low resistance to natural disasters, they were completely out of production and only focused on training. A full-time army is extremely rare.
Farming soldiers is the norm and the main force.
In addition to the field soldiers, there were also many peasants who had been forcibly conscripted in the armies of the princes. They trained hastily for three to five days, and sent out a spear at random, and then pushed them onto the battlefield.
Those miscellaneous soldiers, not to mention the armor, even the weapons are crudely made.Having a military uniform dyed the same color is considered pretty good.
The logistical soldiers, even the shoddy weapons and military uniforms are not all together.
Therefore, among the [-] troops of ordinary princes, there are thousands of full-time elite soldiers who do not have to do chores such as farming and work, which is considered rare!
Even if the talents are as rough as Cao Cao, there is no way to train more standing soldiers.Most of his soldiers are Tuntian soldiers.There is only one "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry", which can be regarded as a full-time elite.
But there are only 5000 people riding tigers and leopards!
"Five thousand against one hundred thousand, there is no chance of winning!" Cao Cao sighed bitterly.
"My lord, why do you need to build up other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige?" The counselor Xun Yu stepped forward and said with emotion: "Although Lu Zei's army is well-equipped, it has not fought for many years. The soldiers in the army, no matter how well trained, are mostly first-timers. Newcomer. Seeing blood, can you still stand firm, can you hold a weapon?
"Although there are few elite soldiers in our army, all of them have experienced hundreds of battles, and their equipment is excellent, which is not inferior to Lu's army. The rest of the miscellaneous soldiers are also experienced in battle. Although due to lack of training and crude equipment, they may not be able to compete with Lu's bandits in wild warfare. The army is fighting for the front, but fighting against the city and defending it with the advantage of the city's location, it is definitely not inferior to the Lu thief's elite soldiers!
"The most important thing is that Lu thief's intention to usurp the Han is well known to everyone. Everyone can punish such unpopular officials and thieves. His subordinates must also complain a lot, and even panic. But I The whole army has the same desire, and if we are united, we will be able to defeat Lu Thief's rebellious army!"
