Chapter 1184 The Beginning of Chaos
Everyone has to die, some are lighter than a feather, some are heavier than Mount Tai.
You can say that everyone is born equal, but you cannot deny that everyone dies unequally.
From the perspective of social contribution, the greater the contribution, the more the national flag is buried and the name is recorded in history; the smaller the contribution, the more unknown it is. When the last person who remembers your existence dies, you will completely disappear physically and spiritually.
Many people say that history books are the family histories of emperors and generals. Not to mention that they have read the geographical records, the records of disasters and anomalies, and the records of various countries, even from the perspective of historical facts, it is not right.
Some people only see the love affairs of emperors and generals in history books, and it is natural to say that family history is fine, because they only see these.
In fact, the history books handed down never tell you the real history directly. They all hint at the social background at that time through obscure statements, or the dialogue between the monarch and his subjects, or some cases, or...
Human resources are limited, and the content of an era is extremely complicated. Even if it is recorded, no one will read it. Only those important things will be recorded, and people in later generations are willing to read it.
There are so many feathers, but there is only one Mount Tai, so there are countless poems about Mount Tai, but there are very few about feathers.
Human beings want to "die" like a hero, leave this human dynasty, end this journey like a training, and achieve the status of an immortal.
In order to achieve this goal, war is inevitable. Wu Yi carried out drastic reforms for this purpose, dividing his troops into six armies, with 10,000 captains in each army, and five to ten thousand captains under each thousand captain.
Thirty thousand soldiers and six thousand captains meant that the thousand captains could not really command ten thousand people, but only about five thousand people. Those thousand captains commanded more than five or six hundred people.
With the previous battle, Wu Yi's prestige in the army was unprecedentedly high. Even the military officer sent by King Yong understood that Wu Yi's move was to exclude dissidents and concentrate power in his own hands. He only secretly wrote a letter to King Yong, and did not stop Wu Yi openly, because Wu Yi used the name of reclaiming wasteland to divide the army.
Through the reorganization of the army, Wu Yi achieved a high degree of concentration of power in the army, mainly disrupting the two thousand cavalry sent by King Yong, and then, as the military officer worried, without the approval of King Yong, Wu Yi provoked a border conflict.
However, this process was not achieved overnight, so that when the military officer realized Wu Yi's true thoughts, he was no longer able to stop Wu Yi.
In the early stage, Wu Yi told this military officer that the army was currently short of food and grass, and the food and grass in the rear were delayed, and the army was about to run out of food. At that time, there might be changes in the army. After scaring this military officer, Wu Yi suggested to take food from the enemy, that is, to snatch food from the enemy.
Under the pressure from Wu Yi, the military officer had to write a letter with Wu Yi to endorse Wu Yi's war. After reading it, King Yong was helpless. A good cook cannot cook without rice. If there were food and grass in hand, she could naturally suppress Wu Yi, but if there was no food and grass, she would lose the ability to lead Wu Yi.
In the mansion of King Yong, it was not that no one saw Wu Yi's true thoughts. Someone once again proposed to withdraw from the front line, and impeached Wu Yi for reorganizing the army, disrespecting the superiors, and plotting against the law.
Because of Wu Yi's actions, King Yong's suspicion of Wu Yi inevitably increased. The messenger waited for many days, but did not get a clear response from King Yong.
But since he was ready to leave, Wu Yi no longer cared about these shackles.
Before the reply from the rear was received, Wu Yi had already ordered several thousand teams to go out to collect autumn wind, regardless of poultry and livestock, or ordinary grains, as long as they saw them, they would be plundered.
After all, it was a military reorganization in the name of agricultural reclamation. As the military force expanded, ordinary people were also captured and supervised by special personnel to settle and cultivate.
Gradually, this army accumulated food and grass for several months by looting everywhere, and truly had the strength to develop and grow independently in this competition.
As time went on, King Yong could no longer sit back and watch Wu Yi continue to grow, and issued orders in succession to order Wu Yi to return to Liuchen County, but Wu Yi killed all the messengers on the way, and in fact broke with King Yong.
Of course, King Yong did not know that it was Wu Yi who killed the messenger, so he could still maintain peace on the surface.
Although the lower level did not know about the change, some middle-level soldiers in the army had already noticed the subtlety.
Finally, after waiting for half a month without any response, King Yong sent another confidant, called Le An, to lead 30,000 troops to Sanchuankou in the name of assisting defense, but in fact he came to deprive Wu Yi of power.
However, before Le An entered the city, he heard the news that Wu Yi led his troops to the battle. Le An was overjoyed. Isn't this like a dragon leaving the deep sea and entering shallow water? Wu Yi was seeking his own death.
Le An couldn't wait to enter the city of Sanchuankou and take over the power, which had already cut off Wu Yi's retreat.
In Le An's eyes, without logistical assistance, Wu Yi would not be able to hold out for long and would definitely retreat back. At that time, he would be able to take Wu Yi down without a single soldier, take him back to Liuchen County, and ask for a reward from King Yong.
However, Wu Yi had been preparing for a long time, and with the inner demon by his side, he could see through people's hearts and know everything like a god. Although he had few troops, he swept through everything he went through, successively breaking through the capitals of several small countries, capturing the kings alive, opening the national treasury, and establishing the rule of the Daji Dynasty.
The rest of the small countries were frightened and formed a coalition army again to avoid being defeated by Wu Yi one by one. This time, the coalition army also received the support of the high-level officials of the Eastern Army, and even King Yong did not object.
This time, Wu Yi almost stood on the opposite side of everyone, but after one victory after another, the number of people under Wu Yi's control not only did not decrease, but increased.
Especially the original team, after being baptized by the fire of war, served Wu Yi wholeheartedly. Even some middle-level people who plotted rebellion were strangled in the bud by Wu Yi. King Yong's loyalists were basically cleaned out.
The coalition army of small countries tried to find the main force of Wu Yi many times in a row, but failed again and again. When the coalition forces divided their troops to search, Wu Yi's troops appeared like ghosts and caught them off guard.
The coalition army of small countries had more than hundreds of thousands of people, several times more than Wu Yi, but they were misguided and too clumsy, and were fooled around by Wu Yi.
Wu Yi's control over the army reached the centurion level through the army's restructuring, so he could attack wherever he was directed, just like flowing water, gathering and dispersing as he wished. Moreover, through the support of his inner demon body, he knew the enemy's deployment very well.
Wu Yi knew both himself and the enemy, so he could fight a hundred battles without any danger.
