Since the successive defeats, the prestige of the generals has also dropped to a low point, and the binding force on the soldiers has become smaller and smaller. Moreover, at this time, they were just looking for some food and turned a blind eye until the fight started.
When things got serious, Ya Gui Ce was alerted. Only then did he realize that something was wrong, so he came out to suppress it.
After Yao Guice figured out the truth of the matter, he saw that the faces of the arrested soldiers were blue and skinny, and their faces were all messed up from snatching the burnt wheat. He really couldn't punish him, so he sighed.
With a cry and a wave of his hand, he was let go.
At this time, Yao Guice couldn't help but regret it. His decision at that time was too hasty and he should not have burned the food.
After all, although the army is not yet out of food, it can still barely maintain it, with ten carts and two horses pulling enough food! At least four hundred dan! (One stone = the maximum weight a strong man can carry when walking = sixty
kilogram), not to mention providing help in times of need, but it can also relieve an urgent need. Currently, the East China Sea Allied Forces consume about one hundred dan of food every day. Four hundred dan of food can keep the entire army fed for at least four days!
At this time, Lin Fengjin sent another envoy over
The envoy was still a prisoner. This time Lin Fengjin wrote a letter directly to Ya Gui Ce. In the letter, Lin Fengjin said that he had too much food to eat, so much so that it started to get moldy, so if
If Master Wu Guice is willing to help him share the pain of having too much food to eat, then he is also willing to take out some food again.
And more importantly, Lin Fengjin clearly added a definition to this "some" grain, which is two thousand dan!
When he saw the figure of two thousand stones of grain, Yao Guice's eyes turned red. If he had two thousand stones of grain in his hand at this time, why would he need to be careful and wait to break a grain of rice into two pieces to use?
"Damn, hateful!!!"
Crow Guice slapped the table hard and cursed angrily.
But when his anger dissipated, he simply summoned his subordinates and asked them a question that had been discussed countless times before:
"How much grain do you think there is in Wuzuo City across the street?"
Since this question has been discussed countless times, someone quickly answered it:
"Sir, the rotting speed of food in this place is slower, but it can only be stored for three years at most, not more than four years. Moreover, our army's dispatch of troops at that time was considered very fast. These prairie barbarians should be caught off guard, and
The food here must be transported thousands of miles from other places. Considering these factors, the food stored in Wuzuo City now should be at most 10,000 shi."
Crow Guice gritted his teeth and frowned, pacing back and forth in the tent anxiously, and suddenly said angrily:
"Their food reserves are only 10,000 dan, so why would they be willing to give out 2,000 dan of grain?"
Lin Fengjin said in the letter that he was willing to give two thousand stones of food. Naturally, it was not for free, but he had his own conditions. That is, when his friends last attacked the camp of the East China Sea Allied Forces, they were intercepted by the major priests.
He was so dissatisfied with the defeat that he was outnumbered, so he was willing to give up two thousand dan of food just for a fair chance to fight.
Lin Fengjin put it bluntly, that is, he wanted to challenge the priest to a fight to the death. As long as the priest was willing to come out and challenge him, he would be able to get two thousand stones of food regardless of victory or defeat.
It can be expected that once the priest is forced into a dead end in a duel, it is obvious that he will die anyway. It is better to assimilate with the Soga envoy before death and become a divine envoy. Not only can he live for a few more days, but he can also
If the opponent is killed, why not do it?
Therefore, the ultimate goal of Lin Fengjin's proposal is to force out the opponent's envoy.
As of now, the evil gods of the East China Sea only know that there is also a powerful being behind Lin Fengjin. It stands to reason that they can already obtain the true identity of the Snake God Wa. However, after the Snake God Wa obtained a trace of Emperor Xi's essence,
After the blood, yin and yang joined forces, and new vitality emerged from nothing. It can be said that the strength has improved by leaps and bounds, so it can continue to cut off the detection of the evil gods of the East China Sea, and continue to delay.
Why does the snake god Wa need the corpse of the divine envoy? The main purpose is because the divine envoy's power comes from the evil gods of the East China Sea, and he can also perform magical arts. She wants to start with the divine envoy's memory and many aspects, and then
Come and look for clues about the lost secret biography of Emperor Xi: Luoshu Sacrificial Technique.
At first, the Snake God Wa believed that the original essence of the God Xie Mihu had at least absorbed most of the remains of the Karma Demon King Jakong, so the focus was on the Karma Demon King Jakong. However, as she killed Wojin
God, after reading the memories of many divine envoys, realized that his judgment was wrong.
Now it seems that the truth of that year has completely overturned history. Emperor Xi may have discovered some mysterious secret, so he voluntarily sacrificed his life to be devoured by the demon king Jakong. Therefore, when Emperor Xi came prepared,
It seems that he was swallowed together with his soul, but in fact he was the unity of good and evil. He cleverly used the body of Jiakong, the demon king of karma, to preserve the complete secret of Xihuang: Luoshu Sacrifice.
Therefore, among the remains of the Karmic Demon King Jakong, it is very likely that the complete secret biography of Emperor Xi: Luoshu Sacrifice Technique is preserved.
At this time, the truth that Wa Snake God learned was that the original essence of Xie Mihu Evil God could only absorb about 40% of the remains of Karma Demon King Jakong. The remaining about 60% of the remains were scattered in pieces.
In the bodies of the other gods of the East China Sea countries.
Then, the importance of the envoys of the gods of the East China Sea suddenly became greater, because for the Snake God Wa, even if studying the memories of these envoys did not obtain clues to the Luoshu ritual technique, it could still be obtained from the envoys.
to obtain information about the evil god and analyze its magic and abilities.
In the future, the Snake God Wa will definitely kill these evil gods of the East China Sea and look for the remains of the Karma Demon King Jakong. So if you are fully prepared before the battle, it will naturally be much easier to kill. And the Snake God Wa is not afraid of the other parties joining forces to attack.
I even expected the other party to do that, because the ancient formation that trapped the snake god Wa could only be described as abnormal. The enemy was stronger than the enemy, but ants like Lin Fengjin could come in and out at will.
Want to attack the Snake God? Yes, but the premise is that the ancient formation of Burning Stone Mountain must be broken first.
And it is precisely because the Snake God only analyzed and studied the divine envoys and did not absorb and assimilate the evil god's divine power (look down upon) on the divine envoys, so this also led to the evil gods of the East China Sea not paying enough attention to the Snake God.
To the evil gods of the East China Sea, both soldiers and priests are like ants. Soldiers are smaller ants, and priests are larger insects. They can be given up easily. If these guys know, Wa
When the snake god's purpose is to covet the most precious source in their bodies, he will definitely guard it tightly and be vigilant.
Ya Guice is also an old and cunning person. Of course he knows what Lin Fengjin’s intention is. That is to target the envoy of God!
But for Yao Guice, he doesn't have the slightest fondness for the envoys and priests. He feels that the only value of these guys who pretend to be gods and ghosts is that they can exert high-end combat power on the battlefield. However, Yao Guice believes that war
We can only win by relying on ordinary soldiers. To put it simply, it is people-oriented.
At this time, facing Lin Fengjin's temptation of two thousand stones of grain, he was naturally tempted. In Ya Guice's heart, if he could get two thousand stones of grain out of thin air at this time, he felt that it could at least equal the value of two or three priests.
However, Yao Guice also knew very well that just as he valued the lives of his soldiers, the priests also valued their own lives and treated the soldiers as nothing, so Yao Guice did not directly persuade the priests to leave the city.
This is a picky behavior, because he also knows very well that the priest will treat his words as farts and ignore them at all.
Therefore, what Ya Guice was looking for was none other than the superiors of the priests, ahem. It was the gods. And why could Ya Guice directly communicate with the gods? It was because during the great sacrifice before the expedition, the monarch
He had already begged the gods to let them directly protect some important generals, and to send divine favors to prevent them from being directly assassinated, suddenly dying of illness, etc. Therefore, Yao Guice could communicate with the gods who protected him.
The final result of Yao Guice's communication was that he sacrificed 800 people to Shenfu, the god who protected his streams and rivers, and Shenfu sent two of his priests to fight!
It is worth mentioning that the 800 people Ya Guice sacrificed were the herdsmen captured by the East China Sea Allied Forces during their sweeps, and were not their own soldiers.
Needless to say, the result of this exchange was that Yao Guice successfully obtained two thousand stones of food and grass, and added extra rations to the soldiers under his banner that night, which immediately boosted their morale. After all, this kind of visible and tangible
The benefits gained are the most real.
And since Lin Fengjin took the initiative to ask for a duel with the opponent's envoy, he was definitely sure of victory, because this time Lin Fengjin directly invited the old guy Ao Ye to take action! Ao Ye was now
The Snake God Envoy, and the Snake God Wa also figured out a way to restrain the Su Wo Envoy, not to mention that Shi Nu and Shui'e were there to help, so there was almost no suspense about Ao Ye's victory.
After this exchange, because Lin Fengjin wanted to ask Ao Ye to take action, and it was definitely not in vain, he distributed ten merit points to him. However, this time Lin Fengjin was lucky, and the corpses of the two divine envoys were sold for forty merit points.
It was worth it. After all, I made thirty square meters in vain.
If someone else said this kind of exchange ratio, I would really burst into tears when I heard it. There is no bigger profiteer in the world than this. It is even more outrageous and despicable than exchanging ten carts of old grain for two carts of Donghai special products!
The weather in the Central Plains has been good in recent years, and there is no shortage of grain and grass. Therefore, grain prices have continued to fall. Of course, there are countries that purchase cheap grain, and the losses are not huge. It is a fact that they cannot sell it at a high price. For two thousand shi of grain,
It's still old grain that is about to go moldy. If converted into silver taels, it can only be sold at half price in Northern Qi, which is four to five hundred taels of silver. If you get it in the south, a land of plenty, it will cost you two hundred taels of silver!
Merit points can be exchanged for divine weapon embryos, precious life-extending elixirs, and terrifying war creatures like giant snakes. The rest is inconvenient for horizontal comparison, let’s compare with pills that can extend lifespan.
:
At the Xiangfan Bank's auction that year, Xuanyin Shenshi, who could extend a person's life according to his or her physique, had an effect of extending life by eight to twenty years, but to achieve the best effect, a strong man like Lu Jiuyuan was required.
level, so the average life extension effect is about ten years.
And the principle of extending life of this drug is to develop human potential, so the side effect is that if you take too many similar life-extending elixirs, because the potential has been almost fully developed, the effect will be severely exhausted. So the final deal
The price is fourteen million taels.
Huanzhen Dan, which can talk and quarrel, has a lifespan of nine hundred and ninety-nine days, which coincides with the magic of ninety-nine. Breathing its breath while it is alive can extend its life. When it dies, it can be eaten to extend its life.
From one to three years, Dingtian can extend life by six years. However, the life-extending principle of Huazhen Dan is to use external force to repair and nourish, so the side effects are much smaller. Therefore, the final transaction price was 18 million taels.
The universal elixir, which can be exchanged for thirty square meters of merit, can extend life by twenty years after taking it, and it can also remove any toxin effects on the body!! Its life-prolonging effect is to directly inject part of the life essence of the Snake God into the user.
It is in the body, so the life-extending effect is very good without any discount. Twenty years is twenty years, and it is impossible to lose even one day.
However, according to Lin Fengjin's speculation, although there are no clear side effects, the genes of the Snake God are so strong. There should be minor symptoms such as shedding, like sticking out the tongue, lowering body temperature, hibernation, etc. However, these things are also
Most people think it's just a quirk. Even if it's nitpicking, it's nothing compared to the powerful positive effect of extending life for twenty years and removing any toxins.
Therefore, in terms of performance comparison, it is obvious that the Universal Elixir Pill has the absolute upper hand. It can be said that from the perspective of life extension alone, one Universal Elixir Pill is at least equal to three furnaces of Huazhen Pills or three Xuanyin Pills.
Shenshi, not to mention the ability to detoxify all the poisons in the world?
Then, the actual price of the universal elixir should be at least 50 million taels of silver.
And this thing only costs thirty square meters of merit!
In other words, according to this algorithm, a little merit is worth at least 1.6 million taels of silver! Well, even if the auction price is inflated and cut in half, this is already cruel enough, a little merit is worth
It's also worth eight hundred thousand taels of silver.
You should know by now how perverted and outrageous the benefits Lin Fengjin made from the two thousand dan of old grain that was about to become moldy!
What's even more rare is that Yao Guice, who made a deal with Lin Fengjin, didn't have the slightest sense of being cheated. He was also very satisfied with the deal. Two bullshit priests who knew nothing could exchange two thousand stones of grain. It was solved.
My urgent need!
Firstly, it allows the subordinates to have a few good meals from now on, stabilizing the military morale that is about to completely collapse! Secondly, it also weakens the amount of grain reserves in Wu Zuo City, two thousand shi of grain, 240,000 kilograms, which means that a large army will besiege the city in the future.
The people in Wu Zuocheng only lasted ten days at least, and these ten days were probably priceless.
And the price he paid was just two priests. The soldiers and the common people felt that the priests were very noble and irreplaceable. Don't you understand? Although not everyone can be a priest, among a hundred people, they can still be selected.
One or two people, among the more than 10,000 people under his command, there are about a hundred who are qualified to be priests.
If Yao Guice had made the decision on his own, he would probably transfer all of these 100 people to priests, and then wholesale 60 priests to Lin Fengjin. Well, he would be willing to exchange one priest for 500 stones of grain!
But at this moment, Gao Li, who was in charge of internal affairs, quietly found Lin Fengjin in private and said anxiously:
"Sir, I don't have any objections to your behavior, but please don't do this kind of trading with grains anymore. There is not much grain stored in Wuzuo City. People eat horse chews every day, so they can only
If we hold on for a month, we are already in a very dangerous situation!"
"If we can break through this barrier and restore communication with the outside world, then naturally there is no need to say anything more. But you also said that the opponent's main force will soon return with a large amount of food, and we are still far away from being able to relieve our difficulties.
, once the food is exhausted, the city will be destroyed in a matter of seconds!"
Lin Fengjin nodded and said with a smile:
"That's why I have to seize this period of time to make a good plan. If I wait for the main force to return with a large amount of grain, where can I find such a cheap good thing? Ten carts of grain will be exchanged for two carts of Donghai specialties.
Two thousand stones of grain earn thirty points of merit?"
But Yili said urgently:
"But"
Lin Fengjin smiled and waved his hand and said:
"You can rest assured, I know that this guy Ya Guice can be considered a powerful person, but it is interesting to deal with such an opponent."
When they saw Lin Fengjin, they were all confident and confident. Yi Li had nothing to say and silently nodded and retreated. Lin Fengjin was holding his chin, planning to take advantage of this moment to increase the stakes and get another five thousand stones of food.
As bait, I wonder if Yao Guice will be tempted at this time.
However, on the afternoon of the next day, just when Lin Fengjin was about to offer five thousand stones of grain to seduce Crow Guice, perhaps God could not stand his shameless profit-making behavior, and an unexpected situation occurred. One ship
The giant ship, which was weighed crookedly and seemed to be about to sink in the next second, appeared on the horizon. The flags on the giant ship were clearly the flags of the countries in the East China Sea. They also deliberately bypassed the promontory, even fearing that others would not see it.
As if arriving, he lit a pile of wet firewood on the deck to release the smoke.
Yes, the troops dispatched by the East China Sea Allied Forces have returned with a great victory and are fully loaded. (To be continued...)
