The strongest Marquis in history

Entering November, the weather is getting colder every day.

Compared with the north that entered the cold winter first, the Chu State in the south is doing well now.Although it is a bit cold, it is not like in the north, where it starts to snow in remote places.

Chu State, Xiangyang City.

In the imperial city, in the main hall.

The king of Chu, Xiong Huai, was getting older again, looking very tired and haggard.However, Xiong Huai still supported his body. He would not give up, let alone close his eyes, if he did not see the state of Chu enter the Great Zhou, and the state of Chu enter the state of Qi for revenge.

Chu Wang Xionghuai was a little anxious at the moment, so that he didn't care to look through the submitted memorial.He sat for a while, then simply stood up, paced back and forth boredly, and then glanced at the open door of the main hall from time to time.

Xiong Huai is now waiting for news from Qu Ping.

Because at present, Chu State is the most hopeful to break through to the enshrinement of the great master. He has already taken the elixir sent by Wei State and is making a breakthrough.Once you step into the threshold of the Grand Master Realm, you can steadily become a Grand Master.

If the breakthrough fails, if you don't advance, you won't be able to advance. On the contrary, you may eat yourself back, and if you want to break through to the Grand Master, you will lose your chance.

Xiong Huai waited. For him, every minute of the time at this time was suffering, and he was anxious to wait.

Half an hour, hurried away.

Xiong Huai waited for half an hour, but did not wait, his heart gradually cooled down.After all, he was old, and after standing for a long time, his body couldn't hold up anymore, so he went back to sit on the seat, his face gradually turned cold.

There is no breakthrough until now, in Xiong Huai's view, it may be difficult.

"Heaven, we must bless the Chu country! The hope of our Chu country is here."

Xiong Huai took a deep breath and could only wait helplessly.

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps outside the hall, Xiong Huai heard the footsteps, and immediately looked up.Seeing Qu Ping enter, he quickly stood up and asked, "Prime Minister, how is the situation?"

After entering, Qu Ping stood still, with a bright smile on his face, cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty."

"well!"

After hearing this, Xiong Huai couldn't help applauding loudly, with an excited expression on his face.

Today, he has another great master in Chu State.For the state of Chu, if there is one more master at the Grand Master level, it will have the confidence to fight Wang Qi again.Although Chu State's Grand Master Realm masters, even if they have breakthroughs, they are still inferior to Qi State, but having a Grand Master and not having a Grand Master are two different things.

The alliance between Chu State and Wei State, Wei State itself has the support of the Great Zen Temple, and the great master of Wei State is there, so the alliance between Wei State and Chu State already has the strength to go to war with Qi State.

Xiong Huai said with emotion: "Thanks to the elixir that we obtained from the State of Wei to break through to the Great Master, otherwise our offerings from the State of Chu may not be able to break through to the Great Master after a lifetime of poverty."

Qu Ping said: "Your Majesty, in fact, I have a discovery."

Xiong Huai said, "What discovery?"

Qu Ping said: "My lord, in the past few decades, even more than a hundred years ago, the great master did not appear at all. It is almost as difficult as reaching the sky to break through to the great master."

"For example, the dead ancestor Xiong Yuanxiang, he broke through to the great master after countless slaughters. It is these hidden sects that only have one or two great masters."

"In recent years, masters in the realm of great masters have appeared one after another. For example, in our state of Chu, Cai Heng, the great master who has just made a breakthrough; for example, in Youzhou, Wang Zongxi, who has made a breakthrough, is also the great master Tuoba Longcheng of Xianbei before."

"These people have made breakthroughs one after another over the years. I read history books to know that only in the early years of the establishment of the Great Zhou, masters of the Grand Master realm sprung up like mushrooms after rain."

"Further ahead, when dynasties change, there will be many masters of the great master level. It is the same now. This is the repeated dragons and snakes rising from the sky and the earth, and countless people rise up."

Qu Ping said in a deep voice: "Nowadays, it is a world of great competition, and countless people are competing for supremacy."

A gleam flashed in Xiong Huai's eyes, and he agreed: "In a world of great strife, heroes compete for the throne, and countless heroes will indeed emerge. It should be easier to break through to the Grand Master. Perhaps this is the principle of heaven and earth. But for a country like Chu, chaos is not a good thing, but for warriors, it is a rare opportunity."

Qu Ping nodded and said, "That's what it means."

Xiong Huai said: "Although there is Cai Heng as a master, it is actually a little insufficient. When it comes to high-end combat power, once you fight on the battlefield, Cai Heng alone is a little weak. Alas, I can only say that it is better than nothing." good."

Qu Ping said: "Your Majesty, this time Cao Xuan persuaded the Great Zen Temple to give us four Nine-Turn Purple Gold Pills. Before, two people failed to break through after taking it. Now Cai Heng took one, and there is only one Nine-Turn Purple Gold Pill left. Dan."

"The remaining one, if the opportunity is right, can create another great master. If there are two masters at the master level, it will be easy for our country of Chu."

"Of course it won't be easy."

Qu Ping said with emotion: "Speaking of which, the Great Chan Temple is really powerful. It is obvious that the Nine Turns Zijin Pill is a elixir from Zixia Mountain, but the Great Chan Temple can refine it, which is really amazing."

Xiong Huai laughed and said, "What's the matter? Although the names are the same, the Dachan Temple should have its own refining method. Otherwise, it would not be possible to refine the Nine-Turn Zijin Pill."

Qu Ping nodded and said: "What Your Majesty said is true, but the Taoist Zixia Mountain is the only one for the Nine-Turn Purple Golden Pill. There must be a slight difference in the Nine-Turn Purple Golden Pill in the Great Chan Temple. But it is enough for us. gone."

Xiong Huai said, "That's true."

"Report!"

At this moment, a servant came in, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, a person came from outside the palace, who claimed to be a priest of the Barbarian God Sect, and said he wanted to see the King."

Xiong Huai ordered: "Please!"

The servant went down to deliver the order, Xiong Huai frowned slightly, looked at Qu Ping and said, "Prime Minister, I have some impressions of the Barbarian God Sect, but it's just for a while, and I can't remember some of them, do you know?"

Qu Ping said: "One or two."

Xiong Huai said: "The Barbaric God Sect, what kind of sect is it?"

Qu Ping said: "Your Majesty, this Mangan Sect is actually a religion believed by the Wuxi Man in the south of Chu State. Like the Dachan Temple, Sanqing Temple, Zixia Mountain, etc., its strength is not weak. It's just that the Manhen Sect I have always been in the depths of the mountains, and there is no one to be found. Moreover, there are very few records in the history books. It is really strange to come to see the king now."

Xiong Huai's eyes flashed, and he said: "No matter what, if the Barbarian Sect is comparable to Sanqing Temple, Dachan Temple, etc., and there are masters in the realm of great masters, it will be of great help to us, so we can give it a try. .”

Qu Ping nodded and said: "Your Majesty is wise, in short, we can give it a try now, so that we can adapt to all changes without change, and learn more about it."

Xiong Huai said, "That's what it means."

The two have known each other for decades, and after a simple conversation, they knew the next arrangement and layout.

After a short time, there was a sound of footsteps coming from outside the main hall. One was wearing a satin robe, but his skin was dark, and even his face was painted with various colors, with bird feathers in his hair, and a variety of The old man with the animal tooth necklace stepped in slowly.

In the old man's hand, he was leaning on a wooden crutch as thick as a goose egg.He entered the center of the hall and stood still, bowed and said, "The barbarian sect worships Shadana, and pays homage to the King of Chu."

Xiong Huai said, "Why did you come to see me?"

Sha Tuana's back was slightly bent, and his voice was even hoarse. He said slowly, "Reporting to the King of Chu, our Barbarian Sect is willing to help the King of Chu and help the King of Chu conquer the world. In our Barbaric Sect, there are two great masters, Moreover, he is a master of body refinement, with unparalleled strength."

"With the help of the Barbarian God Sect, the King of Chu will definitely be at a disadvantage on the battlefield."

"In addition, even the Wuxi Tribe was influenced by our Manganism and obeyed the arrangements of the Manganism. My Manganism can send an order to the Wuxi Tribe to prevent them from attacking the rear of Chu. Even let the Wuxi Tribe Athletes who are here to serve the King of Chu."

Shatana said, "What does the King of Chu think?"

Xiong Huai narrowed his eyes.

From Shadana's words, it can be seen that the barbaric religion has given great support.It can even be said that the conditions are extremely favorable.

Once Chu State has the help of the Barbarian God Sect, Chu State will not be inferior to Cao Xuan supported by the Great Chan Temple in terms of high-end combat power, and it will not be afraid of Wang Qi.It's just that Xiong Huai is very clear about one thing, you have received so many benefits, it is impossible not to pay.

If there is income, there will be a corresponding contribution.

Xiong Huai said: "Shadana, the Barbarian Cult helps me so much, what price does this king have to pay?"

Sha Tuana grinned, revealing a mouth full of big yellow teeth, especially some of his teeth were missing, and the scarce teeth made his face even more pervasive, making Xiong Huai frown a little.

Barbarianism is not a good sect.

It's just that right now, Xiong Huai is acting like a fool for the time being. After all, the two masters of the Grand Master realm, especially the body-refining Grand Master, such people are very powerful.

Xiong Huai waited patiently for Shatana's explanation.

Sha Tuana smiled slightly, and explained: "The requirements of our Man Shen Sect are actually very simple. The Man God Sect has become the state religion of Chu State. In the entire Chu State, Buddhism and Taoism are not allowed to exist, only the Man God Sect remains. The power of the martial arts in the world is decided by the Manshen Sect. Local government affairs, governance of various places, the court has the final say. But the strength of the local martial arts and the preaching of the Manshen Sect, the King of Chu cannot interfere."

A cold look flashed across Xiong Huai's eyes when he heard it.

This is equivalent to saying that the Barbaric God Sect is a country within a country, a privileged class.

Xiong Huai was thinking in his heart, he looked at Qu Ping, and saw Qu Ping nodded slightly, Xiong Huai felt confident, and he said in a deep voice: "Shatana, I agree to the request of your barbarian sect. When will they send the masters of the masters, the warriors of the master level, and the athletes of the Wuxi Man?"

Shadana said: "Within a month, everyone will arrive."

Xiong Huai said: "Since that's the case, the king has agreed to allow you to preach in the territory of the Barbarian God."

Sha Tua laughed and said: "The King of Chu will not regret it, because this preaching is beneficial to the King of Chu. We only believe in the Man God, and hope that more people will become the subjects of the Man God. Please be different from us, so the King of Chu will not regret it."

Xiong Huai said: "I hope so."

Sha Tuana bowed and saluted, then staggered away.

Xiong Huai said in a deep voice, "Prime Minister, what do you think of this matter?"

Qu Ping said: "Your Majesty, I have thought of it. In the history books of Chu State, there are records about the Barbarian God. It's just that the history books recorded are relatively remote and the time is long, so not many people know about it."

"As for the Barbarian religion, it is true that the barbarian gods are believed. It is said that the barbarian gods were born in the mountains. Because there are bears, tigers, wolves, lions and other ferocious beasts in the mountains, the barbarian gods subdue the beasts in the mountains and are revered as barbarian gods."

"That's the second thing. The Barbarian Sect is very against Buddhism, Taoism, etc., and they have always been brave and ruthless. They respect the strong and recognize that they fight each other."

"Such a sect is naturally easy to fight, and it is easy to cause fights."

"During the reign of the Taizu of the Chu State, after the Chu State unified the region, it took a lot of effort to destroy the Barbarian God Sect. Because the Barbarian God Sect will not be destroyed, one by one Chu people compete to kill each other, you kill me, I kill you , people cannot live a good life.”

"Such killings make the place chaotic."

A gleam flashed in Qu Ping's eyes, and he said: "For the current state of Chu, the Barbarian Sect doesn't have much influence, but we can rely on their strength. This point is nothing."

A smile appeared on Xiong Huai's face immediately, and he said, "That's fine. As long as this is the case, the Barbarian Cult can use it with confidence and boldness. Their harm will be considered after the world is settled. Especially the Barbarian Cult is not very brave. Are you fighting fiercely? Let’s all go to the battlefield and fight. In short, this is a force that is not weak. For our Chu State, this is an opportunity!”

Qu Ping nodded and said: "Your Majesty's words are true, but if we want to use the Barbarian God Cult, we also need to be prepared. At least, we must be prepared for the future. Once something goes wrong in the future, we can deal with it."

Xiong Huai said: "The Prime Minister has arranged this matter."

Qu Ping changed the subject, and said, "My lord, now there are more Barbarian religions. We have three masters who are masters in the whole world. This strength has been greatly strengthened."

"Next, I think we can prepare for the war with Wang Qi in advance. After the spring of next year, it is suitable to start the war. After all, after the spring, the spring plowing has already started, and the war can be arranged."

"Start the war earlier, Wang Qi's strength will not be too strong."

"Once Wang Qi is given enough time to digest his background and develop his strength, when Wang Qi becomes stronger, it will be difficult to restrain Wang Qi's strength."

Qu Ping said: "So, it's time to go to war."

Xiong Huai thought for a while and said: "However, if we want to start a war with Qi, we must notify Cao Xuan. With Cao Xuan's consent, Chu and Wei will send troops at the same time, which will help us attack. Only by ourselves, even though we have Masters in the Grand Master realm, on the battlefield, masters in the Grand Master realm are useful, but more troops are still needed."

Qu Pingdao: "I understand, I will arrange for someone to notify you right away. Besides, the people from the Barbarian God Sect will still need about a month. So it is almost ready, and it will be the beginning of spring next year."

Xiong Huai nodded and said, "You arrange it."

At this moment, Xiong Huai had a smile on his face, and even more anticipation.

After Qu Ping got up and left, Xiong Huai stood up and went to the ancestral temple of Chu State.When he arrived at the ancestral temple, he first paid homage to the ancestors of the Chu Kingdom, and then went to the tablets of Xiong Yuanxiang and Xiong Tai. Wang Qi will definitely be killed.

Chapter 730

Wei State, Wei Wangfu.

Today's Cao Xuan is quite high-spirited. After all, he has become the King of Wei, and he has mastered Yuzhou and Yanzhou, and his strength has been enhanced. This is Cao Xuan's highlight moment, and he is most proud of it.

Cao Xuan is still not satisfied, he hopes to make more progress.If he can destroy Wang Qi and annex Qi, then he, Cao Xuan, will have the capital to sweep the world.

Cao Xuan's focus is still on the army.

In terms of government affairs, Cao Xuan entrusted Cheng Lin to be responsible, while in military affairs, Cao Xuan went all out.So he spent a lot of time training soldiers in the army.For the food of the soldiers of the army, as well as the weapons and armor of the soldiers, it is extremely sufficient.

All of this is to improve combat effectiveness.You must know that in the past, when Cao Xuan fought Wang Qi, many masters led by Wang Qi defeated his army abruptly, which made Cao Xuan feel extremely uncomfortable.

Not only is his army's combat power inferior to Wang Qi's, but his high-end combat power is also inferior.

Cao Xuan tried his best to change everything.

With the support of the Great Zen Temple, he has a great master under his command, and he has high-end combat power.What needs to be done now is to enhance the combat effectiveness of the soldiers.

In fact, when Cao Xuan trained soldiers, he would often mention the defeat by Wang Qi in the past. This was to stimulate the soldiers, so that all the soldiers could be brave after knowing their shame, so that they could work hard and remember the humiliation of the past.

In the weather in late November, the cold wind blows on people's bodies, adding a little bit of chill.Especially here in Wei State, compared to the southern Chu State, it is also colder.

It's just that although the weather is cold, Cao Xuan's fighting spirit in training soldiers has not diminished in the slightest.

He is still training in the army.

When Cao Xuan was staring at the soldiers practicing, the soldiers came in a hurry and reported: "King Wei, the military adviser is asking to see you."

"understood."

Cao Xuan nodded, and ordered the general to continue the drill, and then he got up and went to the main tent of the Chinese army.He entered the big tent of the Chinese army, sat down, looked at Cen Wen and said, "The military division is here today, what's the matter?"

Cen Wen said: "Two things, one is about Qi, and the other is about Chu."

Cao Xuandao: "Tell me and listen."

Cen Wen said slowly: "As far as Qi State is concerned, there is still a big harvest this year. Even in the barren Bingzhou, because Gao Yuanfeng planted a large number of sweet potatoes, after this batch of grain is harvested, there will be plenty of food. In addition, the news from Qi State is that the Wa State The whole Wa country fell to Qi country, so that among the people, Qi country has a great influence, and countless scholars praised the king of Qi."

Cao Xuan's face suddenly turned cold.With sharp eyes, he said: "This Wang Qi is really making enemies everywhere, and at the same time building up his prestige everywhere to build up his prestige! First it was Xianbei, then it was Xiongnu, and now it is Japan."
