Text Chapter 1737 The World as a Chess Game
At the same time that the Zhou Mansion suffered a bloodbath, Zhou Zhao's Xingjun and Marquis also suffered mutiny at almost the same time. Almost all the generals in the future were also bloodbathed and their families were wiped out. A storm went away as quickly as it came. Quickly, in just one day, the entire team leader was changed. The movements were so fast, like thunder and lightning, that people didn't react in a hurry.
Soon the Western Army issued an announcement that Zhou Zhao and his army besieged the Guangtian Palace with the intention of treason. They had been captured and all the accomplices under his command had been punished!
Everyone knows this is an excuse to lead a large army to besiege the Heavenly King's Mansion? Zhou Zhao was just looking for death. He clearly wanted to get rid of Zhou Zhao and his group. At the same time, rumors came out that the reason why King Guangtian got rid of Zhou Zhao was because Long Xin defected to the ghost city town hall, which angered King Guangtian. King Guangtian did not expect that the Zhou family could actually steal the women of his subordinates. Only then did he get rid of Zhou Zhao to improve the morale of the army.
The Western Army also announced that Tianweixingjun Gu Yucheng would temporarily take over the post of Marshal Weilu.
Anyone who knows well knows that with the support of King Guangtian, it will be a matter of time for Gu Yucheng to take the position of Marshal Weilu. If anyone else takes the position, it will be courting death.
In short, as soon as this incident came out, the news quickly swept the entire world. The entire Western Army was shocked. The entire world was shocked. It was shocked by King Guangtian's powerful ability to control the Western Army. A dignified marshal actually captured it as soon as he said it. It is necessary to know what the marshal along the way said. The wide range of people involved is definitely not a trivial matter. One careless move can cause chaos in the Western Army, but King Guangtian did just that, and settled all the disturbances so quickly.
As soon as the incident came out, Qingzhu, who was hiding in the Zhanpinghou Mansion, could not stay any longer. He quickly returned to the Tiangong and ordered people to investigate the matter.
However, the personnel monitoring the right department have not yet seen Zhou Zhao's face. Zhou Zhao committed suicide in prison out of fear of crime and committed suicide by hitting a wall.
Many people speculated that Duke Guangling ordered Zhou Zhao to be killed. In fact, there were some differences. Gou Yue just went to prison and said a word to Zhou Zhao. After telling his wife Lan Ling what she said before committing suicide with a knife, she asked him, did you write down the charges yourself or did we force you to write them down?
"Madam..." Zhou Zhao looked up to the sky and screamed, turned around and hit his head against the wall. His brain exploded and he died on the spot.
At this point, how could he possibly fulfill any of the crimes written by Guang Linggong? Even his wife didn't want to be humiliated, so why should he be humiliated. Knowing that he was going to die, it was better to die with a bit more courage, so he followed in his wife's footsteps.
Gou Yue, who was standing outside the cage, did not stop him. He swiped his sleeves and turned away, waiting for the people monitoring the right side to come and investigate. It can be said that he killed someone invisible.
Marshal Weilu, who had been a noble man for a while, was completely forgotten, and all the glory of the family disappeared.
Tian Weng's Mansion, in the Forbidden Garden, under the shade of the Sky Tree. Xiahou Tuo lay on the recliner and dozed gently, with sporadic leaves falling from time to time.
Wei Shu walked aside and saw that he was sleeping deeply, so he didn't want to disturb him. He turned around and was about to leave when he suddenly heard Xiahou Tuo softly say: "What's the matter?"
Wei Shu turned around again and presented a jade certificate in his hand. "The list of people to fill the gap is out."
He reached out and took the jade certificate into his hand, cast a spell and checked the list. Xiahou Tuofang slowly opened his eyes and sighed softly. "Resist the power of heaven, suppress the generals below, and kill decisively! The old man who conquered the world in those days has gone through many turmoils, which is indeed not what the younger generation can compare with today." There is a trace of emotion in the words. I wonder if he knows something else. , continued slowly, "Guang Linggong's actions will not be missed by the other three. It seems that those four are about to start reorganizing the fourth army, and there is only one opportunity now."
Wei Shu asked: "What is the opportunity?"
Xiahou Tuo: "You have to find a fair and justifiable reason for doing things, otherwise how can you convince the public? It's just a list. It's just a list of 100,000 elites from the Ghost City Headquarters. Once the list comes out, it will be those four When I slapped the table below, in short, Niu Youde won the bet. For those four, the positions of the four princes are no longer the most important thing. The most important thing is to take this opportunity to consolidate their foundation, otherwise I won’t be able to find such a good excuse in the future. It’s just that Hao Defang is going to have a headache, haha!”
Wei Shu quickly understood what he meant and said with a smile: "Yes, Long Xin's matter happened to Zhou Zhao after all. Zhou Zhao has been cleaned out by Guang Linggong with thunder, but Hao Defang But the problem is his own fault. He might not have the confidence to criticize the recruitment of people at the Ghost City Headquarters. Qingyue is so conspicuous that he bears the brunt of it, which is really embarrassing for him. "
Xiahou Tuo chuckled and said, "This isn't our concern anymore. Let's just continue watching the fun on the side."
Wei Shu: "Will Lord Qing allow them to successfully integrate the four armies into a monolithic monolith?"
Xiahou Tuo chuckled: "At most, it's just to cause some trouble, and it won't hurt the roots of those four people. The one from Tiangong is also watching the fun from the side."
Wei Shu hesitated and said, "Isn't he afraid that those four people's control over those below will be too strong and pose a threat to him?"
Xiahou Tuo slowly closed his eyes and smiled and said: "He has many means to achieve balance. No one can match his apparent strength. He is just pretending to be confused because he understands. Otherwise, why did the Xiahou family help him up in the first place? Isn't that right? I took a fancy to his ability and really thought that he was a fool because he was easy to fool. The current situation in the world was deliberately caused by him. The four companies have always maintained a competitive relationship and thought it was the way to protect themselves. Little did they know that it was the most beneficial thing for him. They are all in Qingzhu's game. Hey, the elephant is invisible, the one who controls the world is using the world as a chess piece!
Wei Shu looked at him with a somewhat complicated expression, and found that the topic of the old man's conversation with him gradually deepened into unprecedented areas, and he vaguely wondered whether the old man had already begun to make arrangements for his funeral. So he duly asked, "Why?"
Xiahou Tuo said slowly: "As long as the four families keep the world's interests conveyed to his Qing Lord, Qing Lord will not completely destroy them. Didn't you realize that the strength of the guards in Qing Lord's hands has become stronger than in the early years? Stronger?"
Wei Shu: "With age and improvement, the strength of the Guards will naturally become stronger and stronger."
Xiahou Tuo: "Then why is the strength of the Fourth Army so slow?"
Wei Shu was silent for a moment and replied: "The strife continues. Those below want to come up, but those above are unwilling to come down. Naturally, conflicts will arise. In order to protect their own interests, the four heavenly kings are afraid that the people below will threaten them, so they have to exchange new ones with new ones." There are old needs, such as Zhou Zhaoxia and Gu Yucheng this time.”
Xiahou Tuo hummed and said: "This is the crux of the problem, and it is also where the Qing Lord has great control over the overall situation. The Qing Lord does not need to care about other side issues. He only needs to hold on to the Guards. , he did not occupy the territory of the world, and gave it all to the four armies. He could not only throw the troubles and burdens of governing the world to the four heavenly kings, but also induce the four armies to continue internal strife with benefits, and the Guards did not occupy the territory. Some aspects of interests are completely supported by the resources provided by him, which is naturally easier for him to control. In order to safeguard their own interests, the Four Heavenly Kings not only have to work hard to help Qing Lord govern the world, but also continuously provide the world's interests to Lord Qing, Lord Qing can easily support the Guards with this inexhaustible benefit, and conversely, he can use the Guards to put pressure on the Four Heavenly Kings, so why not do it? "
Wei Shu was surprised and said: "If this continues, sooner or later the Guards will become powerful. Will he be able to control it by then?"
Xiahou Tuo chuckled: "Isn't that simple? The strength of the Guards really has to reach that point. When Qingzhu and the Four Heavenly Kings are settling the accounts, they have the strength in hand and can randomly pick out a conflict point and make excuses. Eradicate the power of the four heavenly kings, and then use the interests of the world to lure them. Disperse the guards who cannot lose their tail, and reshape the new pattern of the four heavenly kings, so that they can continue to compete with each other, leaving a part of the guards. Strength continues to reshape the new Guards. It is only the people of the world who repeat this cycle, and his Qingzhu will always be at the top. Who do you think is the smart person and who is the fool? "
Wei Shu took a deep breath and asked urgently: "If that's the case, then why does he always take advantage of every opportunity to insert people into the four armies? Why does he also set up this gambling game to snatch the positions of the four marquises? Isn't this intentional? To take away the power of the Four Heavenly Kings?"
"Yes! That's right, we want to reduce the power of the Four Heavenly Kings."
"That seems to be in conflict with what you said before, sir?"
Xiahou Tuo opened his eyes and chuckled: "So, those who want to play tricks with Qingzhu are still a little immature. They are using the world as a chess piece. Everyone is a pawn in the game. There is no way to overlook the world from his height. The people who were chess pieces had a great time fighting with him, thinking that they were powerful, but little did they know that the young master was there to have fun with the acting. No matter how the people below moved, they were all chess pieces on the chessboard, and no matter how he moved, they were all chess players. Man, who can beat him? Is it possible that he can wipe out the chess game at any time and start over again?
Wei Shu thought for a moment and said hesitantly: "I still don't understand what the master is referring to."
Xiahou Tuo pointed at him and sighed, "Why don't you understand? He wants to take away the power of the four heavenly kings, so he will insert people into the four armies whenever he finds time. But think about it, How many of the people drawn from the Guards and put in there will have a good death? No matter how dazzling a gem is, it will be buried in the mud. The four armies are in the hands of the four heavenly kings, not in the hands of the Qing Lord. In his hands, he could not win against the Four Heavenly Kings no matter how hard they fought. There were several advantages to doing this. First, it could create discord between the two sides and let the Guards understand that the Fourth Army was rejecting them. The Guards share the same enemy, so they can only unite closely and rely on his Qing Master to use him for his use; secondly, they confuse the people of the world and make the four heavenly kings think that his Qing Master's skills are limited, and everything is under the control of the four heavenly kings. Within the range, the Four Heavenly Kings can be appeased; finally, the people who can be transferred from the Guards and placed into the Fourth Army are not ordinary people. Only such people in the Fourth Army can fight with the Four Heavenly Kings in a fun and interesting way. It's fake. Although most of them don't end well in the end, there are fewer such people in the Guards, which is more conducive to Master Qing's control of the Guards. He has been using the hands of the Four Heavenly Kings to eliminate those elites bit by bit. Recently, The Guard is just a knife in his hand. He doesn't need the knife to have its own ideas, it just needs to follow his will."
