A rumor spread in Haizhou at an unprecedented speed, and of course it also spread in the land of Dali Wangting and the surrounding countries. This rumor was that Haizhou actually killed prisoners! Moreover, 140,000 people were massacred at one time, which was simply inhumane! How tragic! Worse than a beast! The rumors spread rapidly, as if they had completely spread within a few days. In less than five days, even the most remote mountain villages knew about such rumors; obviously "careful people" were helping Xiao Hao in this matter. "Is there really no problem?" Lan Hai looked a little worried. Xiao Hao's various decisions, as well as some of the current changes in Haizhou, even Lan Hai can't grasp. All the changes are too fast. ; Of course, the more important thing is that these changes are really weird. For example, Xiao Hao said that the massacre of 140,000 people was a warning to make ordinary civilians afraid? What's more, ordinary people are far from being as strong as they think? What is this all about? Looking at the Patriarch in front of him, Xiao Hao smiled slightly and stood in the yard and looked up at the sky. The clouds were rolling in the sky; now Xiao Hao's cultivation has already surpassed Lan Hai, but today's human race environment pays more attention to masters and inheritance. Xiao Hao Although Hao was able to become another apprentice, his relationship with Lan Hai would remain forever. "Master, let me tell you a story. There was once such an ordinary town. Suddenly a wolf demon came to the town. The wolf demon hunted people often and irregularly, but no one in the town was a wolf demon. One day, a brave hunter went into the mountain to fight to the death with the wolf demon, but was defeated. At this time, the hunter had an idea and discussed with the wolf demon: How about we give you one person every month. Don't enter the town again; this way you won't get hurt, and you can enjoy delicious food once a month. The wolf demon agreed, because every time the wolf demon hunts the residents of the town, it will indeed be injured. After all, some humans will. Weapons, etc. are quite aggressive. This hunter acted with good intentions, thinking that this way the town would not have to worry about it every day, and it would be enough to 'sacrifice' one person every month, as a sacrifice to the mountain god. However, the wolf demon was quite honest at first, but gradually became dissatisfied; the 'food' required by the hunter should no longer be old people, but the hunter wanted to fight for it, but he was no match for the wolf demon. Discuss with the townspeople that we should kill the wolf demon, but the townspeople think that the hunter is the executioner, and one person per month seems to be acceptable. Anyway, according to the current 'law', our family should not be in trouble at this time. The town has become accustomed to the new 'rule', but the wolf demon is becoming more and more greedy, starting to demand young adults, and infants and young children; gradually it changed from once a month to twice or three times a month People were sad, but found If you can still survive, then continue to endure it. But gradually, the number of wolf monsters is increasing. The hunter wants to do something for the townspeople, but he has been rejected by the townspeople. He feels that he is very sad. He has been making contributions to the town, but in people's eyes, the hunter has become the spokesperson of the wolf demon, a sinner who deserves to be killed by a thousand swords, so people don't believe in the hunter, but ordinary people can't organize a decent battle. I don¡¯t know how to fight the wolf monsters, and things continue like this day by day. In the end, there are more and more wolf monsters. They are enjoying the food delivered by humans every day, but the people in the town are gradually becoming numb! There are fewer and fewer people, and by the time people react and want to join forces to fight, it is already too late! But the hunter who knows the wolf demon best and really wants to do something for the townspeople is gone. People did not believe it. At this time, an army suddenly came and killed the wolf demon, but it began to rule the town. The town fell into a state of slavery, and the lives of the townspeople were extremely difficult. Under the circumstances, people reported the hunter, and the army also killed the hunter to win the hearts of the people. After that, the townspeople cheered for a while, and they were willing to accept the rule; but gradually the townspeople discovered that the soldiers were more cruel, killing people at every turn, and taking whatever they liked. He robbed beautiful women when he saw them, and soon the town was completely destroyed. "Master, what do you think of this story?" After listening to this, Lan Hai felt silent in his heart. It was the first time he heard someone use this method to reason; but really. What shocked and silenced Lan Hai was not Xiao Hao's method of telling the story, nor the surface of the story, but the truth contained in the story. First, good intentions may not necessarily result in good deeds. Second, people are often short-sighted and often only see the surface. Third, there is a meaning of boiling a frog in warm water. Xiao Hao also told Lan Hai about this. Fourth, if you completely rely on outsiders, there will never be a future! It can only be chronic suicide. Fifth, people are often numb, and even using their own blood may not wake them up to reality. Sixth, in the beginning people had the ability to kill the wolf demon, but they chose to be numb. Of course there are more meanings, but with just a simple analysis, Lan Hai roughly understood what Xiao Hao was going to say! There is just one coming: the government forces the people to rebel! Think about it, when those nobles in places not covered by Haizhou seek husbands again, those ordinary civilians will resist. Anyway, resisting now means death, and they will still die on the battlefield in the future! In this case, it is better to do the opposite. Another thing Xiao Hao wants to express is: sometimes if you really try to liberate ordinary people, they may not really appreciate it! The rescuers who appear at the "right" time save people before they suffer, and they appreciate it. Only when you suddenly stand up when they are desperate, even if you are a devil, they will regard you as their savior. This little story vividly demonstrates this truth. After a long time, Lan Hai said: "I understand." Yes, Lan Hai understood that doing things cannot only rely on "correct" means, but also takes into account human nature, etc. Sometimes wrong means can even achieve many correct results. The end that cannot be achieved by means is at least correct in the eyes of ordinary people. Although there are some unscrupulous means, if you really use the right means. People may not appreciate it! The world is like a new chess game! Lan Hai actually had such a realization! As time passed, the rumors about Haizhou became more and more intense. The puppet king Shengqing was overjoyed and decided to use this opportunity to recruit troops to attack Haizhou again. But the reality is just as Xiao Hao expected, under the threat of Haizhou's bloody figure of 140,000. Puppet King Shengqing¡¯s recruitment was very difficult! If you go to the battlefield, you will definitely die. If you don't go to the battlefield, there is still a way to survive! Under such circumstances, many soldiers of the Puppet King even defected! During the period of time when Haizhou was recuperating and making preparations, the puppet king was unable to take advantage of the current opportunity to organize an army. Every day he was faced with various messages of failure. The nobles were recruiting troops under his rule and even led to a civil uprising. ! certainly. The reason why they dared to have a civil uprising was because of Haizhou's tactics. I don't know how many seeds were sown in the first place! Sometimes people are passionate, but they just don¡¯t know how to vent them; and Haizhou is working hard on this. At this moment, most of the Zhongzhou and a small number of separated states controlled by the puppet king Shengqing are unable to gather enough food and cannot gather enough people. Soldiers must know that Zhongzhou is definitely the richest place in Dali Royal Court! When this news reached Xiao Hao's hands. Xiao Hao just smiled slightly. In fact, he was relieved in his heart. Fortunately, it was successful and there were no big changes. But Lan Hai sighed softly at the information, and suddenly something changed. It was a kind of Changes after enlightenment. Then I saw the light surging around Lan Hai's body, and he actually broke through! After a long time, Lan Hai opened his eyes. Then he ran back to his "office" without having time to say anything. After Xiao Hao read it, he also smiled slightly, knowing that Lan Hai finally figured it out! A real prime minister cannot spend all day thinking about how to make people happy. We also need to think about how to make society stable and make ignorant people happy! Sometimes, we cannot think completely in the way of smart people, but also in the way of fools and tyrants! This change of thinking is also a baptism, and it is nothing if Lan Hai suddenly has an epiphany. But Xiao Hao didn't even think of it. When he saw Lan Hai three days later, Lan Hai actually rushed to the ninth level of Ziqi Dongsheng Intermediate Level in one breath. Jumping from the original third level to the ninth level in one breath, perhaps this is the result of Qi Luck cultivation. Only with the improvement of wisdom can such a change occur. You don't have to worry about going crazy. "Congratulations, Master." Xiao Hao really congratulated. Such great progress can only show that Lan Hai must have often tried to get into trouble "for the sake of the world" before, but Xiao Hao's words made Lan Hai truly realize his past mistakes. Now he has an epiphany and brings a With a lot of accumulation, he rushed to the ninth level of the intermediate level in one go. Considering that there was a big difference between the intermediate and advanced levels of Ziqi Dongsheng and it took a period of time to settle, maybe Lan Hai could reach the high level of Ziqi Dongsheng in one go. "Hey" Lan Hai was not too happy after the breakthrough, "How difficult life is. Maybe ordinary people don't understand, but I still want to try my best. Of course, I will try to pay attention to what I do when possible. method; but if necessary, I will not hesitate. Because hesitating too much will cause greater harm!" Xiao Hao nodded, already understanding that Lan Hai had figured it out. In fact, it is helpless to use a fictional story to explain things; if you directly explain those principles, even if it is a blue ocean, the first reaction is probably to roll your eyes: What kind of bullshit logic are you talking about! If it's more intense,Maybe I'll just give you a big slap and get out of here. Wukong, you're being naughty again. And shortly after Lan Hai was promoted, all the information from the south and the west came back; Chen State in the south began to be unable to work, and even through Haizhou's intelligence system, Xiao Hao got some information that Chen State was revising his credentials. It seems that they are ready to establish diplomatic relations with Haizhou. "The situation in the West is more intense. From the perspective of bystanders, the Za family made a bad move!" I don¡¯t know what I was thinking, but I never thought: What would this make those who have taken refuge in the Za family think? What¡¯s more important is that the Zajia¡¯s actions angered Shengzhan; this person who can sit firmly in a place like Lizhou is not a sheep, but a dormant tiger. At this moment, the tiger comes down the mountain, its fangs exposed! There is no peace in the two states controlled by the Zajia that border Lizhou! In particular, although elites like Zhang Yun did not kill anyone, they provided Shengzhan with powerful mobility. More importantly, Shengzhan is purely seeking revenge, and has no bullshit military purpose! This has resulted in a phenomenon that as long as you feel there is danger somewhere, you will never go there. Even if there are many family members of the enemy there; if you feel that a certain place is safe, even if it is an ordinary village, you should go there and visit it. An army of 10,000 people wreaks havoc behind enemy lines like a poisonous snake. It never fights against any team of more than 1,000 troops or more than 2,000 ordinary people; and even then, it is all sneak attacks and the like, what kind of poison, Setting up ambushes, luring the enemy, camouflaging, attacking halfway through, etc. Simply doing everything possible. Maybe relying solely on Sheng Zhan does not have so many means, but don¡¯t forget that there are dozens of dog-headed military advisors coming from Haizhou; maybe one or two dog-headed military advisors will do bad things, but dozens of dog-headed military advisors are enough to bring the sun and the moon together. Hui's master is playing tricks! These dog-headed military advisors include a large number of good teachers Xiao Hao, as well as countless people who are struggling in life and death. At the beginning, Haizhou was a famous (notorious) bandit den, and there were too many "talents"! "Everything feels good!" Xiao Hao laughed proudly. Xiao Hao is really proud; Princess Dragon came forward a few days ago. After picking up the Dragon Prince, Dragon Princess Ao Qingyin said nothing. Xiao Hao understood that it must be the top brass of the human race who had come forward, but he didn't know it; and obviously, the powerful human race was already beginning to expel the power of the dragon clan on the land of Dongsheng Shenzhou, and the actions of the dragon clan in the Yingzhou secret realm gave the human race an excuse! No. Perhaps that was why I acquiesced to the Dragon Clan's actions in the first place! This is a premeditated plan that has already been made! Regarding the premeditations of the human race's top brass, Xiao Hao could only look up to those smart Sun Moon Tonghui masters who had nothing to do and pondered the conspiracy every day. There is also the trading center in Haizhou proposed by Xiao Hao, but it is still under construction and busy. The first person who was attracted by this was not Qizhen Pavilion, but Ziyue Pavilion! Perhaps because of his close relationship with Xiao Hao, Zhang He, the loyal master who was responsible for the transaction between Ziyue Pavilion and Xiao Hao, was also influenced by some of Xiao Hao's ideas, so Zhang He actually decided to build a joint venture with Haizhou. Xiao Hao of Ziyue Pavilion now also knows his background through the Han Zong Legalists and Mohists. It turned out to be very complicated; the main body was Baigong, but the Lone Ranger and related organizations also participated, and of course the Nine-Levels had a hand in it. In fact, it is the largest "black market" within the human race! But it doesn't matter, as long as it is not controlled by some Zajia or Li Zongfa; and this background made Xiao Hao decide to cooperate. In the future, business will be a very important part of Xiao Hao's ruling atmosphere, and business pays attention to going out. Otherwise, what kind of future can we have on our own land? Of course, there is another business issue in Haizhou. The government will not interfere too much, and Xiao Hao has inherited the good experience of another world very well. The Department of Commerce operates independently and operates in a manner that is almost completely different from other government departments. Such a decision. It also made Ziyue Pavilion very happy! ¡°This time around, Xiao Hao let the Ministry of Commerce handle the construction of the trading center entirely on its own. At most, he could only give a few guiding suggestions. Even the auctions hosted by Ziyue Pavilion in Haizhou have unique styles and rules, and everything is undergoing new attempts and new reforms; this is Haizhou today. Once their minds are opened and their horizons are broadened, businessmen will spontaneously promote the development of society; the government's responsibility is to supervise and not let business skew. Another half month has passed in a hurry, and it has been more than a month since Xiao Hao personally conquered the puppet Wang Shengqing. Considering that Haizhou has been more fully prepared after a month of preparations, Xiao Hao finally ordered a general attack on the puppet Wang Shengqing; at the same time, Han Sheng was asked to return, so that Zhang Yun pays attention; especially Zhang Yun, as long as he can continue to "make trouble", it will be the best support for the Haizhou strategy. This time, Xiao Hao did not go on a personal expedition and let Han Sheng and Zhang Zheng lead the army. This time there are 30,000 troops, nearly 10,000 of whom are elites, and the rest are elites among ordinary soldiers; Xiao Hao plans to destroy the false king Sheng Qing in one battle and hold Zhongzhou in his hands. It¡¯s just Xiao HaoI understand that I can only occupy the Zhongzhou part. After all, there are many jackals around and none of the state uncles are easy to get along with. I wonder if it is the so-called troubled times that produce heroes. And this time before the soldiers went out to fight, Princess Qingyue actually came over and asked Xiao Hao to try his best to capture the false king Shengqing alive and to make a good brew of his uncle. Looking at Princess Qingyue's hateful eyes, Xiao Hao felt a little chilled, but it didn't matter, Master Xiao of course agreed to capture her alive if possible. But thinking about it, with the health talisman provided by Xiao Hao, as long as he doesn't run away, the possibility of being captured alive is still very high. With the health talisman, you can attack at will, without fear of attacking the vital points, and there is no need to fear that the false king Shengqing will commit suicide. After complicated rest and preparations and a slow march for half a month, the Haizhou soldiers arrived at the bank of the Youlong River and faced each other across the Youlong River. On the other side, there are Zhongzhou soldiers who are nervously defending. Han Sheng and Zhang Zheng looked at the somewhat distracted guards on the other side and smiled coldly; both of them were acquired masters, and with the support of Xiao Hao, they were close to breaking through the innate realm. Considering that the return of heaven and earth is likely to happen in the near future, Expand, Xiao Hao decided to let his people enter the innate realm as early as possible; as for the waste of resources caused by this, it is nothing. When they become stronger, they can rob others ahem keep it secret. In short, because of their good cultivation, their facial features are sensitive. Although they are separated by the wide Youlongjiang River, Han Sheng and Zhang Zheng can still clearly see the fear of the soldiers on the opposite side. ¡°Pass the order, the enemy is not fully prepared yet and will take advantage of the situation to attack.¡± Han Sheng calmly issued the order. "There are no ships here?" Han Sheng and Zhang Zheng's soldiers were a little confused. "Haha" Zhang Zheng laughed proudly, "You pig-brained people, what era are you in, and you are still thinking about ships! Do you still remember that we cleaned the rivers here a month and a half ago? Today we will let you bumpkins Eye-opening!" Han Sheng curled his lips next to him, a bumpkin? Are you talking about your past self? After the team was reorganized, Han Sheng took out a volume of "imperial edict" from the sea and said it was an imperial edict. In fact, Haizhou has not yet been fully established as a nation, and Xiao Hao has not been officially canonized, so such an "imperial edict" should be said to be an "oral edict." It is not as powerful as the real imperial edict, but now that Youlongjiang is under the control of Haizhou, it is relatively easy. Back then, an imperial edict from King Dali could render Xiao Hao's magical power useless for an hour. The effect of the edict was still very powerful. Unfolding the imperial edict, Han Sheng read it word for word: Make a road through the mountains and build a bridge over the water! Edict! Now Xiao Hao is qualified to use the "Edict" command within Haizhou, and his aloofness is fully displayed. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The imperial edict turned into ashes immediately, but a burst of ruby ??red light shone and enveloped the entire river in front. The changes that followed shocked everyone. As the river rolled, an arch bridge like a crystal carving appeared slowly from the river. First, it was the middle part, like part of a crystal ring; then gradually, more river water gathered to form a crystal ring, and gradually the crystal ring rose, The two ends continued to extend and quickly connected to both sides of the river. But the changes did not stop. The crystal arch bridge gradually widened, and finally expanded to a width of one foot, enough for two riders to sprint side by side; on both sides were carved jade railings, with flowers, birds, insects, fish, dragons and phoenixes dancing in the air. A bridge completely carved with "crystal" The art flat spans the Youlong River, with only some shallow scarlet silk threads running through it. "Let's go!" Han Sheng took the lead and walked up; but when he stepped on the crystal bridge, Han Sheng breathed a sigh of relief. It was stronger than he thought; just now Han Sheng directly used the peak acquired Qi to fiercely I stamped my foot, but the entire crystal bridge did not change at all. It seemed to be really carved from extremely hard crystal, and there was no water, no slippage, and no cold on the bridge. If you look closely, you can see that the bridge deck has a hazy, rough surface like freezing fog. "Boom" Cavalry, infantry, and even powerful crossbows walked onto the crystal bridge. Opposite, the soldiers and generals of Zhongzhou were stunned, but then there were bold and far-sighted generals and soldiers who wanted to block Haizhou's attack through the crystal bridge. But something horrifying happened. When a large number of Zhongzhou soldiers came up, Han Sheng slightly turned the general seal on his waist. The situation changed instantly. Thousands of Zhongzhou soldiers suddenly fell down, as if they were stepping on the void. He struggled and fell into the rolling Young Long River below, and soon disappeared completely after a few ups and downs. "This" The commander-in-chief of Zhongzhou, who was still commanding from the rear, was stunned, and then ordered to block the river with bows and arrows. (To be continued)
