Chapter 72 Prohibitions
Han Yi wanted to ask something else, but the Golden Spirit Holy Mother did not want to say more. She shook her head and said, "There are some things that you cannot know without your cultivation level! If you can improve your cultivation to Taiyi or Daluo, you will naturally have the opportunity to illuminate the Dao Fruit in Daluo Heaven!"

The Jiejiao believes in teaching without distinction, regardless of aptitude, background, or race. As long as you have reached a certain level of cultivation, Master Tongtian will be happy to give you guidance.

And reflecting your original spirit on Daluo Heaven is a kind of benefit of becoming a disciple of a saint. Before you break through to Daluo, you can experience Daluo's perspective.

In the future, when you practice, you will naturally get twice the result with half the effort.

This is also the reason why, after the great calamity between the wizards and the liches, the talents of other forces dwindled, and even the Daluo sect was extinct, while the Taoist tradition of the saints became more and more prosperous.

It doesn't matter if your disciples' qualifications are a little bit poor. As long as you practice to the Golden Immortal realm and touch the threshold of Taiyi Golden Immortal, the saints will naturally help you and increase your probability of being promoted to Daluo Golden Immortal.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist!"

Seeing that the Golden Spirit Mother did not want to say more, Han Yi tactfully did not continue to ask questions, but just bowed respectfully to her.

As long as he can survive the killing calamity of this dynasty change, he will naturally be able to gain considerable merit and fortune, laying a solid foundation for his practice in the realm of true immortals. After achieving the fruit of celestial immortal, he can even get a glimpse of the realm of golden immortals within a few years, thus breaking the shackles of lifespan.

Moreover, he believed that because of the incident with the Sword of Might, Master Tongtian had probably noticed him but had not investigated him carefully!
When he is promoted to the realm of True Immortal and his name appears on the Tongtian Jiejiao Stele, the other party will most likely discover his abnormality based on the mysterious cause and effect.

And he did this on purpose!

Anyway...

In his previous life, before the battle of Ten Thousand Immortals, he revealed his identity as a time traveler in front of Master Tongtian, but the other party did not say that he would kill this anomaly.

Han Yi still admires Master Tongtian's broad-mindedness.

No matter what the person behind the scenes wants to plot against him or what he wants to get, if he finds a saint to back him up, he will definitely be afraid of him!
Because, if the other party is truly omnipotent and has the strength to contend with all saints, there is no need to plan against him, but to directly break all the methods with one force!
Shang State.

After a meeting with the princes, Cheng Tang had decided to appoint Huang Jian as the general to lead a million troops and march towards the Xia Dynasty's capital, Jin'e.

And Han Yi also took the initiative to participate.

He is not qualified to participate in the struggles among practitioners now, but his cultivation of Lianxu Hedao allows him to maneuver among mortal practitioners.

Therefore, Han Yi, like Li Yuan of the Jiuli tribe, went to the battlefield as a military general.

As for Huang Jian, who was in charge of commanding the troops, although his strength was average, he was very knowledgeable about the layout of military formations. After some calculations, Han Yi discovered that he was actually the ancestor of Huang Feihu, the King of Wucheng in later generations.

Sometimes, he even wondered, if Huang Jian died now, would there still be Huang Feihu?
Can Qingxu Daode Zhenjun of the Chanjiao sect also be Huang Tianhua’s teacher?
"That's it!"

Of course, he was just a little curious and had no intention of plotting against Huang Jian.

Now that Cheng Tang had just started his army, if the general in charge of commanding the troops died for no reason, it would be a huge blow to the morale of the Shang army.

Of course, he wouldn't be so unwise!

If you really want to verify it, you can wait until the Shang Dynasty replaced the Xia Dynasty.

Anyway...

According to the future timeline, Huang Feihu and Huang Tianhua will not be born until five or six hundred years later.

He has time to work on it slowly.

Huang Jian, however, was completely unaware of Han Yi's ill will towards him. He was on the reviewing platform, reading out the military rules and discipline to let the soldiers know.

"First, if you do not advance when you hear the drum, do not retreat when you hear the gong, do not stand up when you raise the flag, and do not surrender when you press the flag, this is a slow army. Those who violate this will be executed!"

"Second, if you don't respond when you are called, don't show up for inspection, fail to arrive on time, or violate discipline, you are deceiving the army. Those who violate this will be executed!"

"Third, if you fail to report a fight at night, or if you violate the rules and make unclear calls, this is considered slacking troops. Those who violate this rule will be executed!"

"Fourth, they complain a lot, slander their commander, refuse to obey orders, and are difficult to discipline. This is a treasonous army. Those who violate this will be executed!"

"Fifth, laughing loudly, defying the prohibitions, and cursing at the army gates, this is disrespecting the army. Those who violate this will be beheaded!"

"Sixth, the weapons used are those that deprive us of money and food, causing bows and crossbows to break their strings, arrows to have no feathers, swords and halberds to be weak, and flags to wither. This is a corrupt army. Those who violate this will be executed!"

"Seventh, spreading rumors and deceit, making up ghosts and gods, pretending to have dreams, spreading heresy, and misleading the soldiers. This is a demon army. Those who violate this will be executed!"

"Eighth, those who speak with cunning tongues and sharp teeth, make arbitrary decisions, manipulate soldiers to fight each other, and cause chaos in the ranks, this is a treacherous army. Those who violate this will be executed!"

"Ninth, wherever they go, they bully the people and rape women. This is a traitorous army. Those who commit this will be executed!"

"Tenth, stealing people's property for personal gain, taking people's heads for personal gain, this is called stealing troops. Those who commit this will be executed!"

"Eleventh, if a soldier gathers to discuss matters and approaches the tent to secretly gather information, this is considered espionage. Those who violate this will be executed!"

"Twelfth, if someone hears a plan or an order, but leaks it to the outside and lets the enemy know, this is considered betrayal. Anyone who commits this offense will be beheaded!"

"Thirteenth, when called upon, they are tongue-tied, bow their heads, and look embarrassed. This is cowardice. Those who violate this will be executed!"

"Fourteenth, if you go out of the army, make a fuss, or talk loudly, and do not follow the prohibitions, you will be considered a rioter. Those who violate this will be executed!"

"Fifteenth, feigning injury or illness to avoid military campaign, or faking death to escape, this is a traitorous army. Those who commit this will be executed!"

"Sixteenth, those who are in charge of money and food, when distributing rewards, favor those who are close to them, causing the soldiers to resent each other. This will harm the army. Those who violate this will be executed!"

"Seventeenth, if you do not observe the enemy carefully, if you do not investigate the enemy thoroughly, if you do not report your arrival, if you report too much when you have more, or too much when you have less, this will lead to misleading the army. Those who commit this offense will be executed!"

No rules, no standards.

It has to be said that Huang Jian is quite good at commanding large armies. Once the Seventeen Military Regulations came out, the Shang army was transformed into a kingly army!
After reading out the military regulations and decrees, Huang Jian called Han Yi, Li Yuan, Xue Che and many other generals under his command to the big tent for a discussion.

He spread out a hide map and showed it to the generals, saying, "Please look, there are many checkpoints between our Shang Kingdom and the Xia Dynasty's capital, Zhen'e, preventing us from advancing westward to attack Xia!" "First of all, the city of Kunwu guarded by Kunwu leader Fan Longhua is in our way. This is also the first obstacle to the army's westward advance!"

"The enemy is a loyal follower of Lugui. He is very powerful and commands an army of 200,000. In addition, Kunwu City is strategically located. It will be very difficult to capture this city!"

"Everyone, do you have any good ideas?"

Upon hearing this, the generals hurriedly looked in the direction Huang Jian pointed, with extremely serious expressions.

Han Yi said with a smile: "General Huang, don't worry. It's just a matter of fighting back. Our Shang army is fully armed and has an absolute advantage over Fan Longhua's army! All they can rely on is the strength of the city!"

As long as Zhao Gongming, Xuanniao and others can deal with the practitioners under Lugui, he is confident that it will be easy to take over Kunwu City.

If a cultivator slaughters mortals on a large scale, he will be contaminated with karma, but it is harmless if he just uses his magic power and supernatural powers to destroy a section of earth and stone wall!

Today, the morale of the Shang army is high, and with the support of weapons and armor provided by Jiuli, it can be said that it has full advantages in the military fight. There is no need to be afraid, and they can just crush them with their grand momentum!

And this is Han Yi’s opinion!

however……

After hearing Han Yi's idea, Huang Jian couldn't help but frown and said in a deep voice: "It's not appropriate to use magic to attack the city wall!"

In this era, when two countries went to war, they still followed the rules. There were not so many tricks when attacking a city, and they could even hang up a white flag to delay time.

After all, Sun Bin, who proposed that "the art of war is based on deception", was not yet born. People still emphasized the use of soldiers against soldiers and generals against generals, and such unethical things rarely happened.

Han Yi smiled and did not argue with Huang Jian. He just said, "I just proposed a suggestion to reduce the casualties of the army and capture Kunwu City as quickly as possible! Whether to adopt it or not is up to you, General! However, if you want to fight, I am willing to be the pioneer!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan also asked for battle: "My fellow Jiuli men are all brave and good at fighting. I am willing to be the vanguard!"

Today, Jiuli is completely tied to the same boat as the Shang Kingdom. The more effort they contribute now, the more benefits they will get when Cheng Tang is crowned king.

Therefore, Li Yuan knew that it was time for him to contribute!

next day!

The army began to march, and after more than half a month, they finally arrived at the foot of Kunwu City. However, unexpectedly, Lugui did not send Wuzhiqi and other Daluo demon gods to guard the city, and no one knew what he was planning, which made Xuanniao, Zhao Gongming and others feel a little uneasy.

They are not afraid of fighting!
Even if you are not strong enough, you can still find other helpers.

but……

If Lugui was plotting something, even if they were powerful, they would not be able to guarantee that they could protect the Shang army while preserving themselves.

Han Yi didn't think much about it.

Anyway, if he collapses, there will naturally be someone taller to support him.

The calculations at the level of the Golden Immortal were not something he could participate in now. All he could do was to contribute as much as possible to gain more merit and fortune.

"kill!"

He was wearing armor, holding the Nishen Spear, and beheaded a general of the Kunwu clan with one strike. He looked heroic, but with the black and white mount under his crotch, he looked ridiculous no matter how you looked at him!

Even Li Yuan couldn't help but tease, "Fellow Daoist Han, why don't you change your mount? Not just anyone can ride an iron-eating beast!"

He now dared not imagine what the scene was like when his ancestor Chi You fought against Xuanyuan riding on an iron-eating beast.
Han Yi snorted coldly and said unhappily, "Elder Li Yuan, don't worry about that!"

Appearances and such are all false!
After all, Zhiyi is a demon beast that has refined its horizontal bones and awakened its intelligence. Whether in terms of physical body, stamina, or wisdom, he is far superior to other mounts.

Moreover, he also possesses innate magical powers.

At the critical moment, cooperation with Han Yi might produce unexpected results.

"Who else is coming to die?"

Han Yi let out a long roar, with murderous aura surrounding him, and challenged the generals of Kunwu City.

However, facing Han Yi's provocation, although the generals of Kunwu clan were furious, they did not act rashly when they saw Han Yi who looked like a murderous god.

"Hold the exemption sign first!"

"Ming Jin withdraws his troops!"

Fan Longhua, the general in charge of guarding Kunwu City, wanted to go out of the city for a fight, but remembering Lu Gui's instructions, he did not act rashly. He ordered his generals to call back the troops and hang up the banner of no war.

Upon hearing this, the morale of the Shang army was greatly boosted.

You know, in this era, hanging up the banner of not fighting is equivalent to saying that you are not strong enough!
Such a decision will only be made when it is absolutely necessary.

Can……

Han Yi couldn't help but frown.

In the past few days, he and Li Yuan took turns to fight and provoke. Although the other party would send people to respond every time, it would not take long before they would give up the fight.

This made him suspect that the other party was trying to delay time to play some conspiracy!
no way!
Who made them besiege Kunwu City for so long without seeing a single cultivator?

This is not normal!
