Chapter 159 Analysis of the Great Zhou Situation, the Path of the Avatar (1/2)

In the room of Li Yan's clone in Guiyuan Sect, three pieces of white paper were neatly placed on the table. Li Yan was beside them, examining the contents on the three pieces of white paper.

The three pieces of white paper were placed in a front-to-back arrangement. The first piece of white paper did not contain much information, but they were all major events that affected Da Zhou.

There were only a few paragraphs written on it.

[Information obtained by the clone of Xuanfeng King City]

[Da Zhou continued to increase its troops, with a total of more than 100,000 troops, including two legions and one cavalry battalion]

The highest commander of the battalion-level army of Da Zhou was Wan Hu, which means that the number of people in a battalion was 10,000.

[Da Yue and Da Zhou, at the border of the two countries, namely Da Zhou Zhan Yue Dao and Da Yue Tun Zhou Diocese, each stationed more than 200,000 troops, and the number of armored soldiers on both sides was close to 500,000. ]

Zhan Yue Dao and Tun Zhou Diocese, the meaning was very clear, both sides wanted to annex each other.

However, at present, Dayue is obviously stronger than Dazhou. In fact, because of the last rebellion of the [Red Blood Army], Dayue took advantage of it and annexed one-fifth of the territory of Dazhou's Zhanyue Dao.

This gave Dayue more territorial depth and greater advantages in this battle between the two countries.

Diocese is a name for Dayue to divide its own domestic territory, just like Dazhou's Dao.

Dazhou's twelve Dao masters govern Dazhou's eighteen Daos, while Dayue has nine bishops who govern nine dioceses.

[In Xuanfeng King City, the court has reported that it is preparing to form a new legion, with an estimated number of three to five]

Obviously, the previous recruitment of soldiers from various Daos and officers from major forces in Xuanfeng King City was a preparation for the formation of these new legions.

Moreover, the recruitment efforts are still increasing. The Su family has once again obtained a quota of officers with one hundred households and three captains.

Li Yan is going to let the clone of the Su family find an opportunity to break through to the innate realm, and then strive for an officer position of five hundred households.

There is a transitional military position of five hundred households between the hundred households and the thousand households, and this military position is promoted from the hundred households.

In other words, the five hundred households have a direct team of one hundred people under them, and can also manage the other four hundred households.

The reason why Li Yan wants to participate in such a war is to obtain more resources.

After all, the innate resources of Xuanfeng King City have begun to rise sharply due to the war, and Li Yan can no longer afford it.

On the contrary, the welfare in the army is getting better and better, and the things that can be exchanged for military merits are gradually increasing.

Many people who have no channels to obtain officer positions even spend most of their wealth to buy an officer position on the black market.

There are a very small number of people who have good cultivation, but do not want to spend money, but want to counterattack as an officer as a soldier.

It can only be said that these people are still too naive. What they don’t know is that soldiers like them are the fastest to die.

He will be envied by fellow soldiers, suppressed by the captains above, and the most dangerous and hardest work will be given to this person.

If he does well, the credit belongs to his captain; if he does not do well, he will be punished.

If he wants to resist, so many strong men in the army can suppress it in an instant, and there will be no waves at all.

This is why Li Yan did not create a clone and join the army of the Great Zhou.

Entering the army with the identity of Su Han, with the connections he has maintained and consolidated these days, as long as there is credit, he can get a share.

And if he himself has made merit, he can also ensure that most of the credit will be in his hands, and it will not be directly taken away by others.

[The Red Blood Fu Zhou Army has frequent movements in Lingshan Road. The court intends to stabilize the country before fighting against foreign enemies. It is currently determining which legion to send to reinforce]

Lingshan Road was completely captured by the [Red Blood Fu Zhou Army] three years ago.

At that time, when the news came out, the whole country of the Great Zhou was shocked. The Great Zhou court could not believe that a rebellious remnant who had no roots and was chased by them and fled in panic could actually capture a place quietly.

Therefore, a large number of spies were sent out to investigate, and two surprising intelligences were obtained.

First, the new leader of Lingshan Dao played a great role in this incident.

Through further understanding, it was found that the original leader of Lingshan Dao was not this person, but his brother. This person was suspected to have won the position of the new leader of Lingshan Dao with the secret support of [Red Blood Covering Zhou Army].

Second, [Red Blood Covering Zhou Army] had a large number of standard weapons of the Dayue Army, and there were also a large number of Dayue masters among its personnel.

Although the people of Dayue, as long as the crescent mark on their foreheads is wiped off, they are no different from the people of Dazhou, and the difference cannot be distinguished from their appearance.

However, there are great differences in the behavior of the two countries. The biggest difference is that the people of Dayue have the habit of praying to the moon god they worship at night.

Moreover, they do not pray in the room, but pray outside in the moonlight.

At night, regardless of their level of cultivation, a large group of people kneeled down under the moon and prayed to the moon. Anyone who saw it knew what kind of people these people were.

These two factors directly led to the Great Zhou court's choice of the strategy of siege without attack.

The borders between Lingshan Road and other roads were heavily guarded by the Great Zhou court, blocking the rebels in the [Red Blood Cover Zhou Army] in Lingshan Road.

If it weren't for the recent sudden attack by the Great Yue Kingdom, the Great Zhou court would have withdrawn some troops from this side to support the battlefield.

Perhaps the incident in Shannan Road would not have happened.

Now, the Great Zhou court is sending an entire army over, and I'm afraid it's planning to completely wipe out the [Red Blood Cover Zhou Army].

There are only so many contents on the first white paper.

The contents on the two papers below are much more.

The leftmost one is the information sent by the clone in Nanshan City, Shannan Dao City.

[Nanshan City Clone - Intelligence Obtained by Inquiry]

[The order of the Lord of Shannan Dao has been issued to all places seven days ago to collect the first round of war taxes. ]

If the first round of war taxes cannot make up the conscription quota issued by the court, the second wave of war taxes will come soon.

Moreover, if a family cannot afford the first round of war taxes and sends their family members to the battlefield, then the second round of war taxes must continue to be paid.

If they can't afford it, then continue to select young and middle-aged people in the family to submit to the court.

If there are no young and middle-aged people and they can't pay the tax, then sorry, all the people in the family will be sent to the army.

Men serve as logistics personnel in the army, and women's fate is naturally more tragic. People in the army don't care about women's age and beauty.

This is also one of the important reasons why the people of Da Zhou have to have more children even if they are poor.

[Among the five continents and thirty-two counties under the command of Shannan Dao, three states and eighteen counties have received news that the counties under their command have been attacked by strange forces]

[Currently, there are as many as fifty-three counties that have been attacked, and this number is still rising]

[After these forces captured the county, they massacred the forces in the county, and then recruited personnel from the lower-level forces and ordinary people to form the Red Blood Camp]

[The Daozhu Mansion has confirmed that these forces are the people of the Red Blood Fu Zhou Army]

The reason why Li Yan can know such detailed information is that his clone in Nanshan City has already sneaked into the Daozhu Mansion.

After all, he has been in the Daozhu Mansion for a long time. Not only does he know most of the terrain of the Daozhu Mansion, but he also knows the power structure of the Daozhu Mansion.

In the Shannan County Daozhu Mansion, the Daozhu is the most important, and under him are three prosecutors, who are responsible for handling the government affairs of the entire Shannan Dao. Only matters that cannot be decided will be reported to the Daozhu.

Under the prosecutors are clerks, who are responsible for specific matters in a state or a county, so there are many clerks, but they only have the right to decide on small matters, and slightly bigger matters must be reported to the prosecutors.

Under the clerks are the lowest-ranking walkers, who are responsible for transcribing, delivering messages and executing the decisions of the adults.

Li Yan pretended to be a walker, because only walkers would often go in and out of the Daozhu Mansion and would not attract attention.

It was through this identity of a walker that he found out a lot of things.

[At the same time, the people of the Red Blood Fu Zhou Army also began to interfere with the collection of war taxes. Some people who could not pay the war taxes began to join the Red Blood Fu Zhou Army on a large scale]

[This greatly undermined the conscription plan of Shannan Road. The leader of the road, Jiang Bokao, recently ordered the formation of an anti-rebellion army to fight against the rebellion of the Red Blood Fu Zhou Army]

[And required the state marquis and county magistrates of each state and county to send elite soldiers to participate in the anti-rebellion operation]

Shannan Road is going to be in chaos, and it will not be restored to peace in a short time.

This can be easily inferred from the information on the paper on the right.

[Linjiang County City Jin Mansion clone - intelligence obtained by investigation]

[Three of the eleven counties under Linjiang County City have sent news that the city has been breached]

This is consistent with the news Li Yan got from Li Huahu.

[According to the two city lords who fled to Linjiang County City, they were able to escape in advance because someone tipped them off]

[And they didn't know who tipped them off]

[In addition to the cities being captured, the tax collectors sent by Jin Mansion to collect war taxes were often attacked by people of unknown forces and the tax money was robbed]

[And people who could not pay the taxes and were taken away by the tax collectors]

Obviously, these people of unknown forces can basically be confirmed to be members of the [Red Blood Covering Zhou Army]

[At present, the Jin family has begun to organize the major forces in the county city and form a group of guards to protect the safety of Linjiang County]

[At the same time, the Jin family has issued a notice to the county lords that an unknown force is currently massacring the city. If you don’t want to die or your clan to be exterminated, go to Linjiang County City as soon as possible]

As for sending people to protect the counties, the Jin family will not do such a thankless task.

Just like the Jin family sent a distress signal to Weizhou City, the answer they received was that the city was short of power and let Linjiang County save itself first.

It was a very perfunctory answer, and there was not much cover-up.

But the Jin family can’t do anything to them, because the Zhouhou family has a warrior in the Condensed Evil Realm.

Even if they report to the Lord’s Mansion, no one will care, but it will attract the dissatisfaction of the Zhouhou and retaliate.

In the eyes of the Taoist master, a warrior in the Condensed Evil Realm is more important than a group of innate warriors.

Of course, the Jin family did not invite the county lords to Linjiang City out of kindness, but coveted the wealth of these people.

Li Yan's clone in the Jin family has now shown strength that has reached the Yunzang realm, and is even qualified to compete for the position of the head of the Jin family.

He is young, powerful, and has made great achievements in the past. In the eyes of the Jin family, he is a member of the clan who is worthy of trust and entrustment.

Naturally, Li Yan's status in the Jin family is higher than that of some direct descendants, and he can participate in all the affairs of the Jin family.

Because of this, he immediately learned that the Jin family was going to use most of the wealth of these county city lords to form a Linjiang Guard Army to protect the safety of Linjiang City.

In addition, there are a series of plans to help the Jin family obtain a large amount of wealth during this crisis.

For other forces, this time may be a crisis, but the Jin family sees an opportunity in it, an opportunity to annex all the wealth of other families.

If we can collect all the resources of the entire county, why can't we cultivate a Ningsha realm warrior?

There was no opportunity before, but now, the opportunity has appeared, and naturally we must work hard to seize it.

When Li Yan learned about the series of plans of the Jin family, he couldn't help but be secretly shocked and lamented the madness of the Jin family.

While the Jin family is crazy, there is still reason, and some retreats are also being paved.

Li Yan is responsible for one of the escape routes. If things change, what he needs to do is to escape with part of the Jin family's background as soon as possible.

At this point, that’s all the content on the three white sheets of paper.

Li Yan took another piece of paper and started writing on it.

[The current situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty is complex and changeable. There is an invasion of powerful enemies outside the Great Moon, and there are rebellious Red Blood Zhou troops inside who are causing chaos everywhere, hindering the recruitment of troops in the Great Zhou Dynasty]

[Obviously, this time was a plan planned by Da Yue and the Red Blood Zhou Army. They wanted to cooperate internally and externally to destroy Da Zhou in one fell swoop]

[Now, I have several clones on the side of Dazhou, but I don’t have any clones on the side of Dayue and Red Blood Fuzhou Army. This is not good. I need to send a clone to each of these two forces]

Li Yan, who is now in the innate realm, has much stronger mental power than in the innate realm, and is currently able to maintain the actions of the ten clones to the greatest extent.

After excluding the six clones that have been divided, he still has four clones available.

At this time, Li Yan obviously planned to use the quota for two of the clones on Dayue and Chixue Fuzhou's army.

He sent clones to both sides not with the intention of saving the Great Zhou Kingdom, but with the intention of making a profit in this chaotic time.

The Crimson Blood Overlord Zhou Army had great support from Da Yue and had a lot of good stuff. He wanted to see if he could get some for his own use.

Da Yue Kingdom is now so powerful that it may be possible to overthrow Da Zhou's rule. If one day, Da Yue Kingdom is destroyed, there will be a lot of good things in Da Zhou's treasure house.

If he mingles with the Big Moon Country, he might be able to grab some good things.

Even if Dayue cannot destroy Zhou, Li Yan can still get some benefits from Dayue's army.

By that time, there was a clone of Li Yan in the Da Zhou army, and there was also Li Yan in the Da Yue army. Unknowingly, the information from both sides was obtained at the same time.

In this way, the military achievements of both sides will increase even if they don't want to.

When Li Yan thought of this, he couldn't help but have a proud smile on his face.

Then, he continued to write on the paper.

[In addition, you also need to pay attention to the masters of Wu Qin Dao and Liuhe Dao, the winner of King Qin]

[The winner must also find a way to sneak in a clone]

In the eyes of the Ji family, the winner can be said to have become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh.

However, the Ji family did not dare to take the lead in attacking the winner, because the winner had a strong background and was rumored to be a branch of a large family in the Tianwu Dynasty.

Because his ancestors made mistakes, they were exiled to the Great Zhou Kingdom.

When Winner first arrived in Dazhou, Ji Zhou, the ancestor of the Ji family, overthrew the previous dynasty. Winner didn't know what he thought, but he actually helped Ji Zhou and destroyed the previous dynasty.

His contribution was so great that Ji Zhou directly named the winner the King of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the King of Qin, commanding two lands.

This is the only Taoist master in the Great Zhou Dynasty who exclusively occupies two Taoist lands, except the Ji family.

The other Taoists mainly want to learn to be winners and will surely face a fatal blow from the Ji family.

Now that thousands of years have passed, the winner has become stronger and stronger, and the Ji family has become more and more wary of him. However, as long as the winner of the Tianwu Dynasty remains alive, the Ji family will not dare to take the lead.

But I didn't dare to take action. The surveillance and spying work never stopped.

Li Yan let his avatar sneak into the winner. First, he was interested in the winner's strength. If the winner got into a fight with a snipe and a clam, the fisherman would benefit.

Since there are conditions, it is natural to place multiple bets.

Another thing is that Li Yan took a fancy to the winner's background. He could have connections with the Tianwu Dynasty, so he might have something good in his hands.

Then, Li Yan wrote the last line.

[Passed the assessment of Xuanfeng King City and the Great Zhou Alchemist Alliance branch and became a qualified first-grade alchemist]

Yes, Li Yan is now able to refine a first-grade elixir.

The breakthrough was made by Nanshan City's clone, because Nanshan City's elixirs did not have strict sales restrictions and management, so it was easy for Li Yan to spend a lot of money to buy enough elixirs.

After failing more than a dozen times, I finally succeeded once, but after trying dozens of times, the success rate has remained stable at around 10%, and I have been losing money.

It wasn't until Li Yan broke through the Xiantian and used the Xiantian True Qi to make elixirs that the success rate suddenly increased and is now stable at about 40%.

The reason why he left the last clone spot to the Great Zhou Alchemist Alliance was because he wanted to experiment with an idea.

If the idea succeeds, the speed at which his cultivation will improve will be accelerated again.

After looking at the four papers full of words, Li Yan's palms began to turn red, and he grabbed the four papers on the table.

In less than a breath, all the papers were burned to ashes and fell to the ground.
