The sworn brothers of the Han state have become a kind of trend. It worked well in the era when "the ruler rules by law, and the subjects obey their ruler; the father rules over the son, and the son honors his father" had not yet emerged. In that era, warriors had relatively fewer thoughts, and having a secure back could prevent being stabbed in the back by their own allies was enough. There were no great demands at that time. Sages like Yao, Shun, Yu, and Tang are all matters of an earlier age.
Now, with the strategy of sworn brothers, Yao Yeqiao is applying it to Yuan Hong. Frankly speaking, Yuan Hong is somewhat touched by it.
His tribe's combat power was formidable, even if they had been beaten by Wen Zi for several years, he still believed that his troops were stronger than the "southern people". These humans who grew up in the rugged mountains and treacherous waters, with some demon blood, were all born warriors.
What he lacks is weapons, food, and arrows, and all these supplies are what Bo Yeqiao is willing to provide.
Yuan Hong then sought out some of the feudal lords and generals left by Yuan Fu Tong to discuss. No one wanted to suffer in the North, so they naturally agreed to go to the colorful world of the south.
The final step to unify thoughts is to inform one's own benefactor.
Yuan Hong lit a thin stick of incense that was entirely crimson, and reported his thoughts and ideas to the Demon Saint Bai Ze.
Bai Ze thought about the cause and effect of the whole thing. This time, it was not the invasion of the demon race into human territory, but rather humans inviting them to come. He had heard many times about the rise and fall of Zhou and the Chun dynasty, and Yuan Hong wanted to follow the will of heaven, act as a beacon in the cold, and indeed, there was nothing wrong with it.
Bai Ze's ability as a god beast is his talent in understanding the emotions of everything and knowing the affairs of ghosts and gods.
Yan Geng felt that there was an old demon who was observing secretly in the shadows at XichQi. But he didn't know who it was. Bai Ze, however, knew that it was the Ku Kang bird hiding in the shadows. He just didn't know what kind of conspiracy it was preparing. This wasn't because Bai Ze's cultivation was higher than Yan Geng's, but because his talent was stronger and more powerful.
At this point, Bai Ze conveyed a location to Yuan Hong, "If anything happens, just run there."
Finally, they spoke of Bo Yeqiao's wish to become sworn brothers.
"Make the human prince the eldest brother, and yourself the junior brother."
Yuan Hong widened his eyes.
I'm going to save Xicī, and I have to be the younger brother?
Putting aside the facts, I have also cultivated for thousands of years. What age is Bo Yeqiao?
Bai Ze fell silent, without explanation. At this point, the demon race needed to rely on humans to survive in the world. Do you want to be the eldest brother of humanity? Are you not looking for death?
As one of the four monkey kings of the world, Yuan Hong is naturally very smart. At this time, he scratched his head and slowly guessed what Bai Ze was thinking.
"Alright, then I'll be the younger brother and let Bo Yeqiao be the elder brother."
"Good." Bai Ze replied.
The Demon Saint agreed to deploy troops, and Yuan Hong felt completely at ease. He launched a full-scale mobilization, with everyone, old and young, fighting side by side.
He left the old general of the Yuan Fu Tong era, Bi Fang, to guard the main camp in Chong City. With the help of human qi yun, this Bi Fang also coincidentally obtained a drop of blood from his ancestor's bird, Bi Fang. His own bloodline showed a tendency of returning to its ancestral state, and his strength surged.
The main camp cannot be abandoned; there must be a fallback plan in case of failure.
Later, Yuan Hong led a powerful army of 140,000, braving the fierce winter storms in the north, and marched in a grand manner towards Jiameng Pass.
Ji Xu Kun has received Bo Yeqiao's order since a long time ago. Even though he was unwilling, he surrendered Jiameng Pass and brought 10,000 troops within the fortress to join Yuan Hong's army.
The army emerging from the harsh, cold lands of the north marched grandly into Jiameng Pass.
Before entering the city, Yuan Hong looked back at the north one last time.
The climate in the central plains is so comfortable. This trip into the pass, he is not planning to leave!
He furiously cracked his whip, shouting to his generals, "Enter the pass!"
"Enter the pass!"
"Enter the pass!"
An army of warriors who lived like savages, eating raw flesh and blood, followed him into the inner city of Jiameng Pass. In two days, after being provided with armor and banners by Xicī, replenishing their supplies, they would launch a massive southward relief effort for Xicī.
Ji Xu Kun originally had the intention of becoming another sworn father, but the words "If not abandoned" were already in his mind. However, when he heard that Yuan Hong planned to become sworn brothers with Bo Yeqiao, he immediately abandoned the idea and said, "Good job avoiding it!" Let's continue to be sworn brothers!
"Hmm?" The first time Yuan Hong entered the pass, Nuwa had a sense of intuition.
Calculating with his fingers, he nodded, "This seems to have nothing to do with me! Let's keep playing music and keep dancing!"
Nuwa has connections with the demon race, humans, and other races, so she was the first to sense Yuan Hong's entry into the pass.
Following her, the Three Clears also received their respective feedbacks of qi yun.
The Taiqing is the most indifferent. This matter has nothing to do with me.
The Yuanzhong Tianguan and TONG Tian Zhou both unconsciously furrowed their brows.
TONG Tian did not like this sudden increase in variables, but he really had no ground to criticize.
Why doesn't he send troops to rescue the south? So Bo Yeqiao is asking for reinforcements from the northern demon race?
The fact is that the capital of the south watched and waited, which helped the Yin Dynasty indirectly from the side. If the capital of the south had sent a large army to rescue Xicī, then people like Han Rong and Qiu Ying would have retreated to Bishui Pass.
As for Bo Yeqiao seeking aid from the north, it was also self-rescue. According to the doctrine of Lei Jiao, a line of heavenly destinies cut off from the northern school of teaching, there is no problem with it.
As for the Xicī's qi yun being stained by the demon race's qi yun, what does it have to do with him, the Lord of the Heavens? Even if the army of the Great Yin Dynasty retreated, it had nothing to do with him. It was Wen Zhong who desperately wanted to save the Great Yin Dynasty, not him, Lord of the Heavens, who needed to save it. If a disciple wants to defecate, does he have to go along with it? That's not reasonable.
The Lord of the Heavens sat idly, eating melons and watching the show.
The Yuanzhong Tianguan felt that the Pan Gu Fan in his hand had become stiff again.
It used to be a simple matter of promoting the rise of Zhou and destroying the Shang Dynasty, but now it's all tangled up.
Does Bo Yeqiao have any mistakes? Even if he does, that has nothing to do with the Lecture.
It's death now if they don't find reinforcements. If Xicī falls, the Yuanzhong Tianguan, who has been calling for "Promoting the Rise of Zhou and Destroying the Shang Dynasty" for years, will be even more embarrassed.
He doesn't have any particularly good solutions, but no matter what, Zhou cannot fall; this is his bottom line. So he can only sit back and watch the show.
Everything is left to Yan Geng, let him handle it himself.
Yan Geng felt a bit stuck.
He wished he could find a coffin and bury himself.
Yang Zhao Jian went to the capital of the south, but didn't come back. Shen Gong Bao also went to the capital of the south, but didn't come back. Are you guys in the capital or in hell? You don't come back, but at least tell me.
The Yellow Dragon True being was injured by the blood-absorbing knife. Yan Geng's six-yang pills were not treating the root cause, but at least saved his life.
The disciples of the Immortal of Taoism, Han Du Long and Xue E Hu, arrived in Xicī "to help" their teacher, Master Jiang, a few days ago. Ku Liu Sun also hurried to Xicī three days ago.
With the injured Yellow Dragon True being, Yan Geng actually has quite strong forces at his disposal.
How to defeat Yu Yuan, how to repel the troops of the Shang Dynasty, all the pressure is now on him.
Actually, as one of the three thousand guests in the Purple Sky Palace, he is not afraid of the Treasures-Collecting Golden Coin. He doesn't need to use any treasures or divine abilities; he can dominate with his cultivation alone.
However, Yan Geng always feels that there are quasi-saints spying around Xicī. Their cultivation seems to be higher than his, and he doesn't know who they are. But it's definitely not the second-generation disciples of the Chuanjie or Jiejie Sects; they must be old friends. This is very troublesome.
