Chapter 2611 The first generation of door god, Ying Wen fell
Chapter 2608: The first generation of the door god, Ying Wen fell
The reason why Hou Qing suddenly attacked Chi You was naturally because Liu Yu sent him there.
Liu Yu wanted to defeat the Southern Barbarian Army within two months. After all, the battle situation in the north also made him worried, so he sent Xing Tian and Lu Ya to pick up Zhou Bo. He did this naturally because he wanted to beat Chi You and was too late, so he would be better to kill Chi You in one battle.
But what Liu Yu never expected was that while facing Xing Tian, ??Chi You blocked Lu Ya''s immortal-killing flying sword, which was enough to show that Chi You''s strength had surpassed Xing Tian and reached the level of Li Cunxiao and Xiang Yu who had not broken through to the Grand Master.
Liu Yu naturally would not think that Chi You could not break through to the Grand Master. After all, it is basically a stable thing for those who can get to this point at a young age.
After Xiang Yu broke through the Grand Master, he defeated the eighteen princes with his own strength and grief everywhere.
After Li Cunxiao broke through the Grandmaster, he even fought against Li Tang alone, and even Li Yuanba and Yang Jian joined forces were no match for him.
Can Chiyou, who stands at the same level, do what Xiang Yu and Li Cunxiao can do?
If Chi You really breaks through to the Grand Master, with his ambition, ability and strength, then Shu Kingdom will never have peace.
As soon as he thought of this, Liu Yu felt a little scared in his heart, and his fear of Chi You reached the extreme. He could no longer tolerate Chi You''s existence and was determined to eliminate this great trouble for Shu Kingdom.
But Xing Tian and Lu Ya could not kill Chi You even though they joined forces. Now that Lu Ya''s ace has been exposed, it will definitely not work if they are used. Chi You will not be so stupid as to fight them one by one. What other ways can you get rid of Chi You?
After thinking about it, Liu Yusi only thought of one solution, which was to ask Houqing, who was from the half-step Xuan Realm, to take action. After all, only Houqing could solve Chiyou in the entire Shu Han.
The ''Hundred Schools Agreement'' stipulates that the Grand Master is not allowed to attack the king, otherwise the whole world will attack it.
It is also this regulation that when Taoist Taiqing did not abide by the regulations and went down the mountain to kill Ying Hao, the great masters who were pro-Qin side were summoned one after another, while the great masters who were rebelling against Qin were just waiting and watching and did not help Taiqing.
This rule is not only followed by Ying Hao, but Liu Yu naturally also needs to be followed, otherwise he will suffer.
But Chiyou is not a Han person. As the King of Southern Shu, he cannot even make the list of powerful generals, so he is naturally not within the protection scope of the Hundred Schools Agreement.
Liu Yan, Liu Ji, including Liu Yu, sent people to assassinate Guo Chiyou more than once, but they have not succeeded.
Chi You himself is too strong. Although he is not a great master, he is not his opponent.
Wang Yue once went to the South Central to assassinate Chi You with Xu Xing, a farmer’s family, and another Taoist master. This was also the assassination against Chi You with the strongest lineup.
As a result, except for Wang Yue and Xu Xing, who escaped seriously and were seriously injured, everyone else left their lives in Nanzhong.
Since then, the Shu Han side no longer dared to send people to assassinate Chiyou because there was basically no possibility of success.
Chiyou is not within the protection scope of the Hundred Schools Agreement. Naturally, Emperor Kublai Khan, Emperor Qing Emperor Taiji, Emperor Jin Aguda, and the conflicts are not there either, and the reason why they were not assassinated was a bit complicated.
Ying Hao needed them to fight against each other in order to continuously consume the vitality of the northern alien race.
The major princes of the Central Plains needed them to restrain the Qin Dynasty in the north, even if they did not play a lot of restraining role, just like the southern country, as long as they exist, it would have an impact on the garrison of the Qin Dynasty in the northern border.
Since the Qin Dynasty and other countries all need their existence, they will naturally not send a grand master to assassinate them.
But even if an assassin is sent, it may not be successful.
Kublai Khan and others naturally knew that they were not protected by the Hundred Schools Agreement, and they were afraid of encountering assassins of the Grand Master level, so the guards around them were naturally extremely strict, and there were also Grand Masters who were secretly guarding them. Usually, they were either in the palace or in the military camp, and they would hardly give the assassins any chance.
Therefore, even if it is a great master, it is definitely not an easy task to assassinate the king and kill him.
If Liu Yu had not been able to force the command of the Queen, he would not have thought of assassinating Chi You.
Before Liu Yu was elected as emperor, let alone him, even Liu Ji, Houqing would not bother to pay attention to it.
Not only Houqing, Zhulong is actually the same.
But now Liu Yu is the emperor of Shu Han. Even if Hou Qing doesn’t like Liu Yu, with his identity and position, Hou Qing, who is still interested in the Han Dynasty, must help him.
Liu Yu also knew that it was not easy to get Houqing to take action, so he tried his best to exaggerate the crisis in Shu Han at this time.
"The Qin and South countries joined forces to attack Shu Han from the north and the south. Both the two major defense lines were in danger, especially the southern line, where the four counties and half of the land fell.
If I hadn''t led reinforcements to arrive in time, I''m afraid the entire southern Shu would have been occupied by the Southern Barbarians.
If the Southern Army cannot be repelled within two months, there may be problems on the northern front at that time.
But the Southern Barbarian King Chi You is no less capable of commanding troops than Yue Fei and Xue Li, and his courage is not inferior to Li Cunxiao and Xiang Yu.
It is not easy to defeat the 150,000 Southern Army under his command within two months. ”
Seeing that Liu Yu, who was still energetic not long ago, was so depressed now. Hou Qing also felt that it was quite difficult to win within two months, and Chi You''s potential and threat were too great. Then he was moved and prepared to get rid of this big problem for Shu Han.
But Hou Qing didn''t say that it would be 100% successful. After all, he could only find an opportunity to assassinate, instead of breaking into the army alone to kill him. If Chi You didn''t come out, he had no choice.
In addition, the land in Nanzhong has always been mysterious, with forces such as the Witch Sect, the Twelve Caves, the Moon Worship Sect emerging one after another. Hou Qing also knows whether there is an old monster in Nanzhong that can match him.
When Liu Yu saw Houqing agreeing, he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Chi You would definitely die.
In Liu Yu''s opinion, the total population of Nanzhong is less than three million. If Chiyou is born, it is already a ancestral tomb. It is impossible for a master of Houqing to be born.
Liu Yu guessed right. There are indeed no masters in the quasi-half-step Xuan Realm in the South, but there are two extremely special masters, Shen Tu and Yu Lei.
According to legend, in ancient times, there was a pair of brothers named Shentu and Yulei. Both brothers were good at catching ghosts. If an evil ghost came out to harass the people, Shentu and Yulei captured them and tied them up and fed them to the tiger.
Later, in order to drive away evil spirits, people painted Shentu and Yulei on the door, which also had the effect of exorcising ghosts and evil spirits. They painted Shentu on the left door and Yulei on the right door. And they have been passed down to this day, and they are also the "first generation door gods" in ancient Chinese mythology. Shentu and Yulei are both characters carrying Yinglong. As ancient mythological figures, their strength is naturally neither weak. After being born, they were implanted in Nanzhong and became elders of the witch sect of the Southern State Cult.
It is precisely because of the existence of the two of them that Hou Qing''s assassination against Chi You failed.
Chi You was still too careless. He didn''t think anyone would dare to send assassins to assassinate him, nor did he think that someone in the world could assassinate him. So even if the war was approaching, he still went out to explore the terrain as usual, which gave Hou Qing the opportunity to assassinate.
Chi You is only in his thirties, and his internal strength has reached a half-step master, while Hou Qing, who is in his seventies or eighties, is already in the half-step Xuan Realm.
Although the two are more than 40 years apart, their cultivation level is almost a big difference, so Chi You naturally cannot be a rival to Hou Qing.
However, Chi You also practiced both internal and external skills, and his external skills far exceeded his internal skills. This is also the fundamental reason why they, the powerful generals who specialize in physical cultivation, can defeat them higher than their level.
Chi You''s physical strength is not worse than Hou Qing, so he won''t be killed instantly by Hou Qing. The noise of the two sides fighting was too great, so he alarmed Shen Tu and Yu Lei not far away, as well as Ying Gou who was staying in southern Shu.
Ying Gou and Hou Qing are old friends. When Zhulong led the team to siege Ying Long, if Hou Qing had not used the crowd to bully the few and severely injured Ying Gou, and let him waste more than ten years of recovery, Ying Gou would have probably had already broken through the quasi-half step Xuan Realm, rather than reaching the peak of the Grandmaster.
The old rival of Zeng Jin met again, and Hou Qing wanted to get rid of Chiyou and get rid of a big problem for Shu Kingdom. Naturally, Ying Gou would not let him succeed.
After Ying Gou sensed Hou Qing''s breath, he rushed to Chi You''s position at full speed. After he went there, he realized that he didn''t need to take action at all.
The southern country also has masters. Although one-on-one cannot beat Hou Qing, the two can still compete with him.
With Shen Tu and Yu Lei here, even if Ying Gou doesn''t take action, Hou Qing can''t kill Chi You anymore. However, Hou Qing still decides to take action. After all, this can disgust Hou Qing, and the other can also reap the gratitude from the Southern Kingdom.
Faced with the joint efforts of Ying Gou, Shen Tu and Yu Lei, Hou Qing knew that the operation would not be successful, so he decisively chose to retreat and told Liu Yu about the failure of the assassination.
Liu Yu originally thought that Hou Qing should be able to succeed 100%, but the result failed. He was naturally disappointed. However, after listening to Hou Qing telling the specific story, he changed from disappointment to shock.
"Senior, what did you say? Chi You''s successful integration of the two-practice method?"
Liu Yu''s face was full of disbelief. After all, the difficulty of integrating dual skills is much more difficult than breaking through to the Grand Master.
Hou Qing said seriously: "That''s right, Chi You''s skills have two completely different attributes, and there is no conflict between them. Only by integrating the two skills can it be explained."
There was another sentence that Qing didn''t say, because he said it was suspected of pioneering himself for his assassination, but even if he didn''t say it, Liu Yu could guess what he wanted to say.
Calling a half-step master in the quasi-half-step realm is not as simple as killing a chicken, but it is just one or two moves.
If it weren''t for the dual-killing technique of Chi You''s fusion, and the quality of his skills was no less than that of the Grandmaster, how could he have persisted under Hou Qing until Shentu Yulei arrived?
"It''s hard to deal with this now." Liu Yu sighed lightly.
This assassination failed, and Chi You''s next guards would only be more tight, and it was impossible to give Hou Qing a second chance to assassinate.
If Chiyou is not dead, the Southern Barbarians will not be in chaos. The Shu army can only forcefully take back the counties in southern Shu. Even if they can win, they will pay a heavy price. It may not be possible to get rid of the big trouble of Chiyou.
Houqing saw Liu Yu''s concerns and said, "Your Majesty, don''t worry too much. Although I failed to kill Chiyou, I injured him. In the next one or two months, I should not be able to participate in the war."
Liu Yu''s eyes lit up when he heard this. If Chi You had not participated in the war, the Shu army might have really defeated the Southern Barbarians within two months.
Liu Yu took advantage of Chi You''s injury and unable to participate in the war, and personally directed the army to launch a counterattack, and widely publicized the news that Chi You was seriously injured and was about to die in order to hit the morale of the Southern Barbarians.
Chi You was originally focused on recovering, but when Liu Yu did this, he had to stand up to break the rumors and stabilize morale.
But the rumors are so broken, but the injuries are not so easy to recover.
After being injured, Chiyou was unable to participate in the war and could only command the overall situation in the center. Without his participation in the war, the entire army of the South was greatly affected by the force of the military, combat power and morale, so he was defeated by the Shu army and lost his city and land, and gradually fell into a disadvantage.
The Shu Han Army and the Southern Army, with nearly 400,000 troops, broke out fierce battles in southern Shu, and the war was raging, while Li Jing from the north was still fighting to the death.
After a month of fierce attacks, the Qin army suffered nearly 20,000 casualties, of which nearly 8,000 were killed in battle and 12,000 were seriously injured.
As the number of wounded soldiers increased, Li Jing transferred all the military doctors from Yongliang Prefectures and opened a battlefield hospital later. The soldiers were immediately transported to the rear for treatment after being injured on the front line.
The soldiers suffered heavy casualties, the damage to the weapons, and the consumption of materials were also very large.
So far, under Yangping Pass, the Qin army has damaged 1,500 stone catapults, 700 well railings, more than 3,000 various combat crossbows, and 200,000 stone bombs.
To be honest, 200,000 stone bullets alone could pile up a hill-like staircase, allowing the Qin army to climb up Yangping Pass directly, but it still failed to break the Yangping Pass that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Under Yangping Pass, the Qin army suffered such great damage to the military and material consumption every day, and the pressure of relying solely on Yongliang to supply them is extremely high.
In desperation, Li Jing could only seconded combat preparations to He and Si for emergency response.
The senior executives of Suoyue and the two states also agreed with Li Jing''s actions, and they all felt that if they could not conquer Hanzhong this time, it would only be more difficult next time, so they fully supported Li Jing in terms of materials.
With the four prefectures of Si, Yong, Liang and He as their backing, Li Jing had no worries on the battlefield, but there were variables outside the battlefield.
The Supreme Emperor Ying Wen died.
