Chapter 2612 The first generation of goalkeeper, Ying Wen falls

Chapter 2608: The death of the first generation door god, Ying Wen

The reason why Hou Qing suddenly took action to assassinate 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 war situation in the north also worried him, so he sent Xing Tian and Lu Ya to meet Zhou Bo. Naturally, he wanted to defeat Chi You. Chi You was killed in battle.

But what Liu Yu never expected was that when Chi You faced Xing Tian, ​​he actually blocked Lu Ya's immortal-killing flying knife. This was enough to show that Chi You's strength had surpassed Xing Tian's and reached the level before he had broken through the great master. The level of Li Cunxiao and Xiang Yu.

Liu Yu naturally does not think that Chi You cannot break through the Grand Master. After all, for someone who has reached this point at a young age, breaking through the Grand Master is basically a sure thing.

 After Xiang Yu broke through the Grand Master, he single-handedly defeated the eighteen princes and filled the country with grief.

After Li Cunxiao broke through the Grand Master, he fought against Li Tang alone. Even Li Yuanba and Yang Jian were no match.

 What Xiang Yu and Li Cunxiao could do, couldn't Chi You, who was at the same level, be able to do it?

If Chi You really breaks through the great master, with his ambition, ability and strength, the Kingdom of Shu will really never have peace.

 At this thought, Liu Yu felt a wave of fear in his heart, and his fear of Chi You reached its extreme. He could no longer tolerate Chi You's existence, and was determined to eliminate this serious trouble for Shu.

However, Xing Tian and Lu Ya couldn't kill Chi You even if they joined forces. Now that Lu Ya's trump card has been exposed, it will definitely not be easy to use, and Chi You will not be stupid enough to challenge the two of them alone, and he can still Is there any other way to get rid of Chi You?

Liu Yu thought about it and could only think of one solution, which was to ask Hou Qing, who was in the Half-step Xuan realm, to take action. After all, in the entire Shu Han Dynasty, Hou Qing was probably the only one who could deal with Chi You.

 The "Hundred Schools Agreement" stipulates that the great master is not allowed to take action against the king, otherwise the whole world will attack him.

It is precisely because of this rule that when Taiqing Taoists did not abide by the rules and went down the mountain to kill Ying Hao, the pro-Qin grand masters accepted the call one after another, while the anti-Qin grand masters just waited and watched and did not help Taiqing.

Not only Ying Hao must abide by this rule, Liu Yu must also abide by it, otherwise he will be the one who suffers.

But Chiyou was not a Han. As the barbarian king of southern Shu, he could not even be ranked on the list of fierce generals, so he was naturally not within the protection scope of the Hundred Families Agreement.

Liu Yan, Liu Ji, including Liu Yu, all sent people to assassinate Guo Chiyou more than once, but they were unsuccessful.

Chi You's own strength is too strong. Although he is not a grand master, a grand master is not his opponent.

 Wang Yue, together with the farmer Xu Xing, another Taoist great master, and many master masters, went deep into Nanzhong to assassinate Chi You. This was also the strongest assassination attempt against Chi You.

 As a result, except for Wang Yue and Xu Xing, who escaped with serious injuries, everyone else stayed in Nanzhong with their lives.

 Since then, the Shu Han side no longer dared to send people to assassinate Chi You, because there was basically no possibility of success.

Chi You was not within the protection scope of the Hundred Families Agreement. Naturally, Emperor Kublai Khan of the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Taiji of the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Aguda of the Jin Dynasty, and Conflict were not included. The reason why none of them were assassinated is a bit complicated.

Ying Hao needs them to fight against each other in order to continuously consume the vitality of the northern aliens.

The major princes of the Central Plains need them to contain the Qin in the north. Even if they do not play a much role in containing the Qin, just like the Southern Kingdom, as long as they exist, they will have an impact on the garrison of the Northern Territory of the Qin.

Since Da Qin and other countries need their existence, naturally they will not send great masters to assassinate them.

But even if assassins are sent, they may not succeed.

Kublai Khan and others naturally knew that they were not protected by the Baijia Agreement. They were also afraid of encountering Grandmaster-level assassins, so the guards around them were naturally extremely tight, and there were also Grandmasters secretly guarding them. Normally, this was not the case. In the palace, which is like a military camp, assassins will hardly be given any chance.

 So, even if you are a great master, it is not an easy task to assassinate the king.

If Liu Yu had not become emperor and could barely command the queen, he would not have thought of assassinating Chi You.

Before Liu Yu proclaimed himself emperor, even Liu Ji, let alone him, was too lazy to pay attention to him.

 It’s not just the Empress Dowager, Zhulong is also the same.

 But now Liu Yu is the emperor of the Shu Han Dynasty. Even if the empress does not want to see Liu Yu, based on his status and position, the empress who still loves the Han Dynasty must help him.

 Liu Yu also knew that it was not easy to get Hou Qing to take action, so he tried his best to exaggerate the critical situation of Shu Han at this time.

“The two countries of Qin and South joined forces to attack Shu and Han from the north and south. Both the northern and southern defense lines were in danger, especially the southern line, where four and a half counties fell.

If I had not led the reinforcements to arrive in time, I am afraid that the entire southern Sichuan would have been occupied by the southern barbarians.

If the Southern Army cannot be defeated within two months, there may also be problems on the northern front.

 But the southern barbarian king Chi You's ability in commanding troops was no less than that of Yue Fei and Xue Li, and his bravery was as good as that of 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 high-spirited not long ago, was now so depressed, Hou Qing also felt that it would be very difficult to win within two months, and Chi You's potential and threat were too great, so he was persuaded by him and prepared to do it himself. Get rid of this big problem for Shu Han.

However, Hou Qing did not say that it was 100% possible. After all, he could only look for opportunities to assassinate him, instead of rushing into the army to kill him alone. If Chi You didn't come out, there was nothing he could do.

In addition, the land of Nanzhong has always been mysterious, with forces such as the Witch Cult, the Twelve Cave, and the Moon Worship Sect emerging one after another. Hou Qing also knows whether there are any old monsters in Nanzhong who can match his strength.

Liu Yu was relieved when he saw that Hou Qing had agreed, and felt that Chi You was bound to die.

In Liu Yu's view, the total population of Nanzhong is less than 3 million. The birth of a Chi You would be like smoke rising from the ancestral grave. It is absolutely impossible to give birth to a master of the level of Hou Qing.

Liu Yu's guess was correct. There were indeed no masters in the Southern Kingdom who could reach the half-step profound realm, but there were two very special great masters, Shen Tu and Yu Lei.

It is said that in ancient times, there was a pair of brothers named Shen Tu and Yu Lei. Both brothers were good at catching ghosts. If an evil ghost came out to harass the people, Shen Tu and Yu Lei would capture it and tie it up to feed the tigers.

Later, in order to drive away evil spirits, people painted divine tea and Yu Lei on their doors, which also had the effect of driving away ghosts and avoiding evil spirits. The divine tea was painted on the left door, and the Yu Lei was painted on the right door. It has been passed down to this day that the two of them are also ancient Chinese The mythical 'first generation door god'. Shentu and Yulei are both Yinglong's companions. As ancient mythological figures, the two of them are naturally not weak in strength. After they were born, they were implanted in Nanzhong and became the elders of the witchcraft sect of the Southern Kingdom.

It is precisely because of the existence of the two of them that Hou Qing's assassination attempt against Chi You failed.

Chi You was still too careless. He didn't think anyone would dare to send an assassin to assassinate him, nor did he think anyone in the world could assassinate him. Therefore, even if the war was approaching, he still went out to explore the terrain as usual, and the result was given to Hou Qing. Opportunity for assassination.

Chi You was only in his thirties, and his internal strength had already reached the half-step master level, while Hou Qing, who was in his seventies or eighties, was already at the half-step mystical level.

Although the age difference between the two is more than forty, and their cultivation level is almost a big difference, Chi You naturally cannot be the opponent of Hou Qing.

However, Chi You also practiced both internally and externally, and his external strength far exceeded his internal strength. This was the fundamental reason why these fierce generals who specialized in physical training were able to leapfrog and defeat the great master.

Chi You's physical strength is no worse than that of Hou Qing, so he will not be killed instantly by Hou Qing. However, the noise of the fight between the two sides was too loud, so it alerted Shen Tu and Yu Lei not far away, as well as Ying Gou who was staying in southern Shu.

Ying Gou and Hou Qing have been friends for a long time. When Zhu Long led the team to besiege Ying Long, if Hou Qing hadn't bullied the few and severely injured Ying Gou, leaving him to waste more than ten years to recover from his injuries, Ying Gou would have probably died. He has already broken through to the Half-step Profound Realm, instead of just reaching the peak of the Grand Master.

Zeng Jin's old enemies reunited again, and Hou Qing wanted to get rid of Chi You again and eliminate a big trouble for Shu. Naturally, Ying Gou would not let him succeed.

After Ying Gou sensed Hou Qing's aura, he rushed to Chi You's location at full speed. However, only after he got there did he realize that he didn't need to take action at all.

Southern Kingdom also has masters. Although it cannot defeat Houqing one-on-one, two people can still match it together.

 With Shen Tu and Yu Lei around, even if Ying Gou couldn't take action, Hou Qing couldn't kill Chi You, but Hou Qing still decided to take action. After all, this would disgust the Hou Qing and gain the gratitude of the Southern Kingdom.

Facing the joint efforts of Ying Gou, Shen Tu, and Yu Lei, Hou Qing knew that the operation could not succeed, so he decisively chose to retreat and told Liu Yu the news of the failed assassination.

Liu Yu originally thought that Hou Qing's attack should be 100% successful, but it failed, so he was naturally disappointed. But after listening to Hou Qing's detailed account, his disappointment turned into shock.

“Senior, what did you say? Chi You’s successful fusion of the dual skills?”

Liu Yu's face was full of disbelief. After all, the difficulty of integrating the dual skills is much more difficult than breaking through the great master.

Hou Qing said seriously: "Yes, Chi You's power has two completely different attributes, and there is no conflict between them. Only the fusion of the two skills can explain it."

There was another sentence that Hou Qing did not say, because the words he said were suspected of being used for his own assassination, but even if he didn't say anything, Liu Yu could guess what he wanted to say.

Killing a half-step grand master in the half-step profound realm is not as easy as killing a chicken, but it only takes one or two moves.

If it weren't for Chi You's fusion of dual skills, and the quality of his skills was no less than that of the great master, how could he have persisted under Hou Qing until the arrival of Shen Tu Yu Lei.

 “It’s going to be difficult now.” Liu Yu sighed.

If the assassination fails this time, Chi You's guard will only be tighter in the future, and it is impossible to give the queen a second chance to assassinate.

As long as Chi You is not dead, the Southern Barbarian army will not be in chaos. The Shu army can only forcibly take back the counties in southern Shu. Even if they can win, they will pay a heavy price, and they may not be able to get rid of Chi You, a major problem.

Hou Qing saw Liu Yu's worries and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Although I failed to kill Chi You this time, I did injure him. In the next one or two months, he should not be able to fight again." Joined the war."

Liu Yu's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this. If Chi You had not participated in the battle, the Shu army might really be able to defeat the Nanman within two months.

Liu Yu took advantage of Chi You's injury and was unable to participate in the battle, personally commanded 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 undermine the morale of the Southern Barbarian army.

Chiyou was originally concentrating on recovery, but Liu Yu did this and had to stand up to break the rumors and stabilize morale.

But the rumors were easy to break, but the injury was not so easy to recover from.

Chi You was unable to participate in the battle after being injured, and could only command the overall situation from the center. Without his participation in the battle, the military strength of the entire Southern Kingdom was reduced by -1, and their combat effectiveness and morale were greatly affected. Therefore, they were defeated by the Shu army and lost the city and territory, and began to gradually fall into the war. Downwind.

The Shu Han Army and the Nanguo Army, with an army of nearly 400,000, broke out in fierce battles in southern Shu, and the fighting continued, but Li Jing in the north was still fighting at Yangping Pass.

 After a month of continuous fierce attacks, the Qin army suffered nearly 20,000 casualties, of which nearly 8,000 were killed directly in battle and 12,000 were seriously injured.

Due to the increasing number of wounded soldiers, Li Jing transferred all the military doctors from Yongliang and Yongzhou and opened a field hospital in the rear. Soldiers injured on the front line were immediately transported to the rear for treatment.

 The casualties among soldiers were high, as were the damage to ordnance and the consumption of supplies.

So far, the Qin army at Yangping Pass has destroyed 1,500 catapults, 700 wells, more than 3,000 crossbows of various types, and 200,000 stone bullets.

To put it bluntly, 200,000 stone bombs alone can create a hill-like staircase, allowing the Qin army to climb directly to Yangping Pass, but they still failed to break Yangping Pass, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The Qin army's daily ordnance damage and material consumption at Yangping Pass were so great that relying solely on Yongliang's supply was naturally extremely stressful.

Li Jing had no choice but to borrow war supplies from He and Si Prefectures for emergency response.

 Fortunately, the high-level officials of both states agreed with Li Jing's move. They both felt that if Hanzhong could not be captured this time, it would be even more difficult next time, so they fully supported Li Jing in terms of supplies.

 With the four states of Si, Yong, Liang, and He as his backing, Li Jing had no worries on the battlefield, but something happened outside the battlefield.

 The Supreme Emperor Ying Wen passed away.

I didn’t finish writing last night, so I took advantage of my lunch break to finish one chapter.
