¡¡
In fact, in the early days of the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty, all of the "Twelve Kings" personally conferred by Great Xia's Taizu were martial arts supremes above the middle stage of life and death, who had survived at least two heavenly tribulations, and they had to be Li You. Only the founding heroes of the country who have made great contributions can be granted the title of king. Among them, only the "four kings" are hereditary first-class princes, and the remaining eight princes are only second-class county princes and third-class titled kings who have been demoted and inherited. .
After more than three hundred years of time changes, now, of the twelve founding kings, only the four hereditary kings are left. The remaining eight kings have all become first-class princes, which is also hereditary, but even if If another county king or title king comes out of the family, it will be a non-hereditary generation of titles. This is like Han Boyong's Ning Commandery Prince. It is limited to himself and cannot be passed down to future generations. Only the title of "Ning Guogong" can be passed down. It belongs to Spyker from generation to generation!
Moreover, before the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were only princes and no dukes. During the Great Zhou Dynasty, the ministers were more likely to be given to some highly prestigious court ministers or elders, allowing them to share in the honor and be canonized by the Great Zhou court. It was only in the Great Xia Dynasty that the title of Duke was established. It just so happened that it was for the purpose of ennobling the founding heroes who were higher than the marquis and lower than the king. The twenty-four founding dukes were all martial arts supremes in the realm of life and death. Moreover, Only those who have made great contributions to the founding of the country are qualified to be crowned princes. Otherwise, they can only get the title of "Ba Liehou" until their death. , was awarded the title of third-class Overlord King by the imperial court, but this was just an honorary title.
This is obvious. When Luo Mingyue, a supremely powerful man like Luo Mingyue, who is the supreme master of the life and death realm and possesses the best Taoist weapons, can only be named the second-class Lujun Gong, the warriors who have cultivated in the Wuji realm can only Changed his name to "Mighty One" instead of "Martial King" or "Martial Saint", because no powerful person in the Wuji Realm can afford these two ancient titles, and if he insists on using them, he will lose his fortune. Longevity brings disaster - this is no joke! !
However, changing the name to "mighty ones" does not mean that today's Wuji realm martial arts masters have become weaker than in the past. Their strength is still strong, and they are still true "mighty ones". In the past, they were the princes of one party, the masters of one religion, and the palm of one clan. But now, no matter where they are placed, they are still the real overlords of one party, the leaders of the major wealthy and noble families, and the leaders of all small and medium-sized families and families. The true pillar of the sect, only one person can support a medium-sized force. If he joins a millennium family like the Luo family, he can also become a core elder or supreme elder with a respected status. And if he joins the Daxia army , that second-grade general did not run away - of course, the premise is that he must prove that he has such an ability to run the army, and he must also prove his loyalty.
Just imagine, who of such a powerful person would be willing to be someone else¡¯s thug? Who would be willing to be a guard or bodyguard? Want to attract them with high-level elixirs? Unfortunately, with their strength, identity and status, they have the ability to obtain high-level elixirs through various methods without having to sell their dignity and freedom. Perhaps, the top elixirs can barely attract them, but Li Yuanyan obviously She didn't come up with something like this that could directly wipe out some small and medium-sized forces, and even if she did, she wouldn't dare to come up with it - does she think she's not eye-catching enough? Not enough to cause trouble? ?
Moreover, another point is very important. In this world, there are too few martial arts masters who can break through the limits of the divine sea and become extremely powerful. I don¡¯t know how many great masters are stuck at that last level. , unable to break through, holding on for a lifetime, and in the end, can only run out of life and die in depression.
Even if all the powerful people in the entire Daxia Empire are added up, I am afraid that the number will not exceed 10,000. This number seems to be an exaggeration at first glance, but if it is placed in the four Central Plains with such a large territory, There are seven towns and seventeen prefectures in the province. All I can say is that there are too few! !
You must know that this relatively official statistics is based on the population base of "80 million", which means that even if the national warriors only account for about one-tenth of the total population, a Wuji will be born. The chance of becoming a powerful person is only one in 8,000. However, in fact, the country's population is very likely to exceed "one hundred million". At the same time, the number of warriors in the country will never be only ten percent of the total population. One-fifth, more likely one-fifth, or even more than one-fourth.
So, in a large empire with at least 300-400 million warriors in the country, after more than 300 years, the number of powerful people in the Wuji realm is only 10,000. Then, it can be imagined that on average, each person In the end, how many great masters of the Divine Sea Realm will be able to successfully break through, perhaps no more than ten people, and this can be regarded as a more realistic chance of giving birth to a powerful person in the Infinite Realm.
This is an unimaginably low probability!
This alone can prove thatIt is extremely difficult to become a powerful person in the Wuji Realm. Otherwise, this Wuji Realm would not be qualified to be called a "mighty person", let alone have a lifespan of four to five hundred years. And Qiang A thousand-year-old family like the Luo family now only has more than ten powerful people in the Wuji realm. Even if you include the guest elders and worship elders with other surnames, the number will not exceed twenty.
Among the less than 10,000 powerful people in the Wuji Realm, the largest number are those in the early stage of the Wuji Realm, accounting for at least nearly 50% of the total, followed by those in the middle stage of cultivation, accounting for about 30%, and those in the Wuji Realm account for about 30%. The cultivation level in the later stage is the least, about less than 20%. In the end, the few remaining existences are the peak experts of Wuji Realm. They are only half a step away from the realm of life and death. They only need to cross After passing through one heavenly tribulation, powerful beings can transcend life and death. To a certain extent, these infinite possibilities, which only account for less than one-tenth, can be called "quasi-venerable".
Luo Qinghao was originally expected to become a powerful person in the early stage of the Wuji Realm with such a "quasi-reverence" existence, but his official position is the second-grade general and the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army, and his title is the second-class military guard uncle. What is this concept? ? This is why it is said that it is ridiculous for a powerful person in the Wuji Realm to become the Mountain King - isn't it ridiculous enough for a top powerhouse to become a second-grade general of the imperial court and become the Mountain King? ?
However, for Li Yuanyan, who is currently sitting in the carriage and looking through the information in her hand, the good news is that among the hundreds of bandit forces with surnames along the Baiyin Avenue, there is no such king of Wuji Mountain. existence, at least, according to the detailed information in her hand from the Luo family intelligence library and the "Jianghai Tower" in the Western Capital Territory, this is the case, and the credibility of these two pieces of information is undoubtedly quite high, Li Yuanyan No reason to question can be found.
In fact, in the past few years, Li Yuanyan has been working hard to establish her own intelligence organization. It is undeniable that one of the reasons for the establishment of Xuanqi Trading Company was for this. Now, it has spread throughout the entire Western Capital Region and even spread to The Xuanqi Trading Firms in major cities across the country have indeed become a very useful source of intelligence for Li Yuanyan, but more of them are all kinds of commercial information and various gossips in the world. At the same time, a lot of manpower has to be expended. And spend time sorting and filtering the content to select the information that is truly useful to you.
Obviously, this is not something that happens overnight, but a long-term effort. A powerful intelligence system is not so easy to establish, and there are many taboos. The major wealthy nobles have their own sources of intelligence, but they cannot be made public. Yes, the Luo family naturally has its own intelligence system, which is quite complete and powerful. After all, it has been accumulated for hundreds or even thousands of years. However, it is only in the hands of a few core members. Most of the time, it is only for Three people are in charge - Taishang Xuanzun Luo Mingyue, patriarch Luo Tianwu, and Nanxuan Hou of each generation.
This means that although Luo Dingshan's father, Luo Qingxiong, is the Nanxuan Marquis of the previous generation and is still alive, and his strength is even more powerful in the middle stage of Wuji Realm, and he is the core elder of the family, he has lost such a Instead, power was handed over to his son Luo Dingshan.
Then, even a third-class county official like Luo Qingxiong, who holds a high position and plays a decisive role in the family, is not qualified to mobilize the family intelligence system, let alone an "outsider" like Li Yuanyan. At some point, she can Share some of the intelligence content, but this information rarely involves major secrets, especially those related to the Luo family's core secrets. If she wants to mobilize the Luo family's intelligence system to find information for herself, it is almost impossible. The thing is, even her son, the eldest son of the fourth eldest son and the second-class county uncle of Luo Mansion, does not have such qualifications.
Therefore, Li Yuanyan, who has only been a female goddess of wealth and a member of the noble council for a few years, most of the time, her main choice is to spend money to buy the information she wants from some special Jianghu forces - Jianghai Tower is undoubtedly Such a special organization is one of the four major intelligence organizations in the world. At the same time, it is also a Jianghai Trading Company with more financial resources and scale than Xuanqi Trading Company. There are "Jianghai Towers" all over the country. However, The base camp of Jianghai Tower is in Chengdu Prefecture, Yizhou, in the Western Capital Region.
This kind of special organization that specializes in selling all kinds of information has always only recognized money and not people. Moreover, it is absolutely impossible to say that there is no official background behind it. In the past, Li Yuanyan also purchased from Jiang Hailou. Information, she even knew who was the backer behind Jianghai Tower, and this time, she also bought a piece of detailed information about the bandit forces on Baiyin Avenue and the green forest forces in the entire southwest region. It was valuable, and it also required It was in the name of Luo Mansion that this extremely high-level important information could be purchased.
In addition, Li Yuanyan also obtained a similar piece of intelligence content from the Luo family's intelligence library. When the two are compared and combined, it becomes more complete and more reliable. The intelligence in her hands clearly shows that along the way banditThere are no powerful people in the Wuji Realm among the forces, nor do they have relevant backgrounds or backers. This fact means that if these bandit forces want to unite, they lack that powerful and powerful being¡ª¡ª Because among them, the thirteen most powerful bandit forces are all headed by Wu Zong, who has cultivated in the Divine Sea Realm. Moreover, at least three of them are great masters like Lin Zhong, and their cultivation levels are all in the Divine Sea Realm. later stage.
At the same time, these three bandit forces also happened to divide their respective spheres of influence of about 400 miles in the west, middle and east sections of Baiyin Avenue. Most of the time, the three parties were in harmony with each other. The intelligence clearly shows that these three bandit leaders in the late stage of the Divine Sea Realm do not have a very good relationship with each other. Two of them have a big hatred, and they are also enmity for killing their sons. This This determines that cooperation between these two forces is almost impossible.
In fact, the thirteen master-level bandit leaders all disagreed with each other. If they wanted to join forces to make a big deal, they would have to fight for half a month just to fight over each other and grab the position of leader. Time, and the three most powerful bandits are even less likely to let someone else be the leader of the alliance. However, if they each want to be the leader of the alliance, they cannot suppress the other two, and once there are fewer among the three One person, even if they form an alliance, is not strong enough to deal with the Luofu convoy - because Lin Zhong is a famous "disillusionment hand", and the three of them must at least join forces to have the possibility of suppressing him. However, if you want to defeat Lin Zhong, the three of them must join forces at the same time.
Regarding these situations, before setting off, Li Yuanyan naturally analyzed them in detail with Lin Zhong, Yang Hu and others before setting out on the road. At that time, on the premise of excluding the factor of powerful people, they believed that the alliance of bandits was not feasible. Possible, and, in four consecutive days, they traveled more than 700 miles, leaving no time for the bandits to unite. At the same time, they also took into account the two frontier military camps.
In order to ensure the safety of Baiyin Avenue, the Daxia court and the military also set up a border army camp in the western, middle and eastern sections of Baiyin Avenue. Each was responsible for the 400-mile section of the road and maintained it. The cost of the three military camps is mainly borne by the local forces in Yinzhou and the forces along the Nanman tribe. Moreover, the local government troops in Yinzhou and the troops of the Nanman tribes are also responsible for maintaining the safe passage of this avenue.
For a large battalion with 3,000 frontier soldiers, the commander of one battalion must be a Daxia military attache of the sixth rank or above, either a guerrilla general or ranger general of the fifth rank, or a Ningyuan general or a Dingyuan general of the fifth rank, and The strength will never be lower than the Shenhai realm, because this is the frontier army, not the government army. The combination of the two makes this frontier army very powerful, even stronger than the luxurious lineup of the Luofu fleet.
Because the Daxia army is organized with a battalion of 2,000 people, which has special significance. This is the minimum establishment to form a Daxia war formation and the Five Elements Army Formation. It is the powerful foundation for the Daxia Empire to sweep across all directions, and a large battalion of 3,000 people , which doubles the power of such battle formations and military formations. If you want to "annihilate" such a large camp, unless more than 10,000 regular troops are mobilized, only a powerful person in the Wuji Realm can do it.
If you want to deal with the Luofu convoy in "Flying Eagle Stream", you must take these two frontier army camps into account, because when the Luofu convoy encounters an attack, once it chooses to stand by and wait for help, then among them, the Luofu convoy will have to wait for reinforcements. The nearest border army camp at the western pass of Feiyingjian is about 170 miles away. It happens to be the first battalion of border troops responsible for the security of the middle section of Baiyin Avenue, which is about 400 miles away. As long as it receives the signal for help from the Luofu convoy, The border troops of this battalion will arrive at the scene within three hours. At the fastest, it only takes one hour - each border soldier is equipped with an ordinary tall horse, and the two most elite border troops are more likely to arrive at the scene within three hours. It is by no means inconceivable that it is equipped with a second-level or above spirit cavalry to travel one hundred and seventy miles in one hour.
This is one of the major reasons why Li Yuanyan and Lin Zhong judged that at least four Wuji realm experts appeared this time, because just to intercept the two battalions of border troops, two Wuji realm experts were required. At the same time, to unite the bandit forces and sit in the rear when the bandits plunder, this also requires a Wuji realm expert. In addition, threatening the Baishan tribe not to fully help the Luofu convoy to cross the stream, this is another Things that require a powerful person from the Wuji Realm to sit in formation can be accomplished, and now at least four powerful people from the Wuji Realm have appeared. It is no wonder that even Lin Zhong and Yang Hu feel that the situation is very bad. And prepared for the worst, and all this is based on the premise that there is no powerful person in the Wuji Realm in Luofu's fleet.
Now, the only thing Li Yuanyan and the others hope for is that these powerful people in the Wuji Realm do not dare to break the rules or take action themselves. They can only hide behind and control everything secretly. They have chosen to unite the bandit forces and use the bandits' power to deal with them. Luofu Racing Team, therefore, Li Yuanyan and Lin Zhong have to consider?The main enemies to be faced are actually the bandit forces listed on the thick document in Li Yuanyan's hand.
Three late stages of the Divine Sea Realm, ten early stages of the Divine Sea Realm, thirteen grandmaster-level bandit leaders and mountain kings. Regarding this fact, although it is not as ridiculous as a powerful person in the Wuji Realm becoming a mountain king, it seems that It's not much different, because this is equivalent to Li Yuan Tuomu not doing what he did when he had a third-class county uncle, and not doing what he did when he had the leader of the tribe, but running to become the bandit leader. It's ridiculous, nonsense, and weird.
Not to mention the gap between a tribal leader who rules more than 300,000 people and a mountain king, even a quasi-martial sect like Yang Hu was already famous in the Western Capital Territory when he was only in the middle stage of the Dragon and Tiger Realm. The master of the Sihai Martial Arts School, at that time, there were more than 3,000 students in the Martial Arts School. When his cultivation reached an advanced stage, the number of students in the Sihai Martial Arts School had reached 10,000, and he He has become a veritable master of Yang Da Pavilion. He is considered a giant in Yinzhou Mansion. Just imagine, is this comparable to becoming a mountain king? ?
Even the three largest groups among the thirteen most powerful bandit forces, that is, the forces with the three Shenhai Grand Masters as kings, are only more than 4,000 people. A force that exceeds 5,000 bandits, then There is no one, so what does such a bandit leader mean in front of him? What's the prestige? Even in terms of status in the world, they are far behind Yang Hu, and the most important thing is that none of these famous bandits can appear openly in major cities in Daxia - they don't dare either. ! !
The heads on each of their necks represent generous bonuses or merit points, or even military merits for promotion. For example, if a sixth-grade lieutenant colonel can kill a A great bandit in the early days of the famous Shenhai Sea, with this merit, he can at least be promoted to one level, plus various rewards and honors. This is exactly the most interesting thing for the children of the aristocratic family. I think back then, Luo Dingqi wanted to give Li Yuanyan He cured his illness and became the famous "Desperate Saburo". What he fought for was actually to constantly accept bounty missions to kill powerful men on the blacklist. However, he didn't want military merit, he just wanted merit points. He wanted to save enough to buy six turns. The "money" of golden elixir.
Unfortunately, the plan did not change quickly. His father Luo Qinghao suddenly died in battle, and Li Yuanyan's illness became more and more serious. He could not wait for such a slow process of accumulating merit, so he forced Luo Dingqi to take risks. Otherwise, with his strength and status, not to mention There were so many opportunities to make meritorious deeds in the seven years of war that followed. Even if it was just to lead troops to wipe out all the bandit forces that had emerged on this Baiyin Avenue in the past few years, it would probably be enough merit points to buy a six-turn golden elixir.
Of course, all this is in the past. Now, Li Yuanyan's illness has recovered and she has become a goddess of wealth. These bandit forces wanted by the official want to unite to deal with the bandits who were forced to embark on the Baiyin Road. Li Yuanyan, of course, must also include her son Luo Qi. This time, the identities of officials and thieves are reversed here. As long as they are profitable and have a chance of success, these bandit forces will never Afraid of being pursued by the Daxia court after the incident, the names Li Yuanyan drew out in red ink became more and more numerous and dazzling.
She has classified at least ten of the thirteen major forces, and more than thirty medium-sized forces, and has also classified more than twenty. They are all very likely to be involved in this interception. The forces that have emerged, as for the small and medium-sized bandit forces, are too many, and there is no point in drawing them out. You only need to look at which big force their respective territories are near. In fact, you can tell that this time, Luo How many bandits will the government¡¯s convoy face¡ª¡ª
Preliminary estimates suggest that there will be no less than 20,000 bandits. This is the basic bottom line for a mob like them to dare to unite and attack the Luofu convoy. If there are less than this number, if they are given ten more courages, they will not dare to attack, even if those ten The three major forces are all united, and they are all the same! !
"Tap! Tap! Tap tap~~"
¡°Drive!!¡±
¡°Xilulu~~¡±
When Li Yuanyan was sitting in the carriage and worried about the increasing number of bandits and the number of bandits, on the avenue outside the carriage, the entire Luofu convoy still maintained a speed of 30 miles an hour. As they marched forward on the Silver Avenue, at the same time, the seven bodyguards and riders rode fast horses for the third time, rushed out of the convoy, rushed to the front, and left to explore the road ahead
At this time, the Luofu convoy, which had been adjusted to three rows, occupied almost three-quarters of the road. This behavior was undoubtedly a very bad road domination behavior, because on this southwest official road, every day The passenger flow in a day is actually extremely high. During these four days of traveling, at the speed of the Luofu convoy, on average every quarter of an hour, a team would catch up from behind and overtake them.
These teams are basically riding fast horses, there is noOnly with a high speed can they catch up with the convoy from behind and pass by. However, when they see the Luofu convoy, they will slow down to show respect, and they will even clasp their fists on horseback to salute and say a few words from a distance. , will continue on the way.
Of course, there must be some people who are really in a hurry, so they will not slow down, but rush all the way along the side road, leaving an apology: "My lords who have seen Luofu, I am in a hurry, please Forgive me!!" Then he left, just like the seven-horse bodyguard and escort who had just left.
This kind of situation has been encountered several times even within half an hour after leaving the Baishan tribe. However, this is not the point. The point is that the group of merchants coming from the front and passing by were It is the most numerous. Almost every other stick of incense, there will be a line of teams appearing, coming towards each other and passing each other. But the fact is that from a quarter of an hour ago until now, not only is there no one rushing behind, As we came up and passed, we didn't even see anyone coming towards us from the front.
So, the fact that most of the entire avenue was occupied by Luofu's motorcade seemed to be nothing. At the same time, what made Luo San and others even more uneasy was that up to now, none of the two road-exploring cavalry that had been sent out in succession was Without rushing back, the third path-finding cavalry set off again
