Xu Xian's occupation of Yunzhou did not cause big waves.
Because Xu Xian is not only the myth of Dachu, but also created many miracles.
The capture of Yunzhou from the Liao Kingdom is not worth mentioning among Xu Xian's many legendary experiences. People have become accustomed to it and think it is normal.
People are used to Xu Xian's defiant actions. Some people once said that Xu Xian was the son of destiny, and even heaven was helping him.
The story of Tiandao helping Xu Xian is just a legend, and not many people believe it. Everyone thinks that Xu Xian is just lucky, has unfathomable strength, and has created some miracles.
However, Heavenly Dao predicted that Xu Xian was the king of Yanyun and helped Xu Xian effortlessly destroy Xiao Tianhuan's 100,000 Liao army.
This time, Xu Xian relied not on luck or strength, but on the way of heaven announcing to the entire Piaomiao Realm that Xu Xian was the King of Yanyun, and helped Xu Xian easily destroy the Liao Kingdom's 100,000-strong army.
Tiandao helped Xu Xian destroy the Liao Kingdom's 100,000-strong army. Although there were no other subsequent actions, it did not help Xu Xian destroy the Liao Kingdom.
However, after careful people spread the news, it became clear that the Liao Kingdom had been abandoned by heaven and was at the end of its rope. It was only a matter of time before it was destroyed.
The public sentiment in Dachu was raging, and the call to regain the sixteen states of Yanyun was getting louder and louder. Mainly because some declining nobles and some officials and gentry wanted to take this opportunity to make meritorious deeds.
In times of peace, it was difficult to have the opportunity to be promoted to an official position, to become a noble, or to be granted the title of marquis or king.
Those declining nobles wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of conquering Liao to once again gain glory and wealth.
The Kingdom of Jin also sent envoys to persuade Chu Huizong to join forces to attack the Liao Kingdom.
The Kingdom of Jin was very interested in conquering Liao. In the past few years, dozens of envoys were sent to Chu. Their only purpose was to persuade Huizong of Chu to conquer Liao.
Tong Guan's expedition to Fangla greatly boosted the morale of the Chu army. Chu Huizong wanted to take this opportunity to join forces with Jin to conquer Liao, but he had no money to fight.
In order to enrich the national treasury, Chu Huizong appointed Zhuge Banshan as prime minister to implement reforms.
Zhuge Banshan retired for nearly half a century and once again became prime minister. He was not as radical as before. Although the reform was implemented, it still took time to raise the military expenditures for the Liao expedition.
It wasn't until the appearance of Xu Xian's "Future City" in which he robbed the rich and helped the poor that Chu Huizong truly understood what it means to have endless wealth.
In just a few months, not only did they raise the military expenses for the Liao expedition, but they also turned Chu Huizong's palace into a beautiful palace.
Although Xu Xian brought tangible benefits to Chu Huizong, Xu Xian's past record...
With the power of one person, he destroyed 30,000 mighty troops, turned the thousand-year-old Jinshan Temple into ashes, opened up the sea of dharma with his sword, and beheaded Ouyang with his sword...
Everything made Chu Huizong feel scared.
Although the lame Taoist priests Ouyang Xi, Fa Hai and others were unfathomable in strength, they were still respectful when they saw Chu Huizong, and sometimes even knelt down to Chu Huizong.
The respect the two had for Chu Huizong made Chu Huizong feel very fulfilled, and he also felt that the two were particularly cordial and worthy of trust.
In contrast, Xu Xian never bowed politely when he saw Chu Huizong, spoke arrogantly, and showed no respect at all, which made Chu Huizong feel scared.
Chu Huizong was really afraid that Xu Xian would kill the king if he was unhappy.
It wasn't until Xu Xian was made King of Yanyun and Xu Xian was sent far away to Yunzhou that Chu Huizong finally breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't have to worry about his head being lost if Xu Xian was angered.
Chu Huizong thought that even if Xu Xian made a big noise in Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, he could pretend not to hear it.
However, Xu Xian actually alarmed Tiandao this time, and Tiandao made everyone in the Piaomiao Realm feel that the Liao Kingdom had reached the end of its rope.
In this context, the call for Chu to conquer Liao became louder and louder.
At this time, Chu Huizong didn't think much about conquering Liao. He felt that it was a thankless task. If the army conquering Liao conflicted with Xu Xian, it would harm him.
Chu Huizong was also worried that the expedition to Liao would fail. Even if the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were indeed recovered, it would still belong to Xu Xian. He would not get any benefits, but it would make Xu Xian's power stronger.
As long as Chu does not conquer Liao, Jin will be unable to conquer Liao alone. The expedition to conquer Liao will definitely be postponed, and a balance will be maintained between Chu, Liao and Jin.
Xu Xian occupied Yunzhou. The Liao Kingdom definitely wanted to regain Yunzhou and would keep sending troops to attack Yunzhou.
Xu Xian had to deal with the Liao army and had no time to cause trouble for Chu Huizong.
Therefore, when the ministers proposed to conquer Liao, Chu Huizong just said that the matter was serious and asked everyone to think about it in the long term and come up with a comprehensive strategy.
In the blink of an eye, more than three months passed, and envoys from the Kingdom of Jin came one after another. Chu Huizong was still dissatisfied with the ministers' plan to conquer Liao and refused to approve it.
Until the lame Taoist returned to the capital and secretly asked to see Chu Huizong, I don't know what the two said.
The lame Taoist's legs are still lame, but his chopped off arms have grown back.
Chu Huizong once asked:
"Mr. Ouyang, since your arms can recover as before, why can't your legs recover?"
The lame Taoist said:
"There are flaws in the way of heaven, and no one is perfect."
On the morning of the next day, Chu Huizong's attitude changed drastically. Instead of being procrastinating in the past and being very critical of the plan to conquer Liao, he directly announced his decision to join forces with Jin to conquer Liao.
Tong Guan served as the general marshal of the army and horses in the Liao campaign, and the lame Taoist served as the military advisor.
The lame Taoist wanted Snow Angel to stay in the palace to protect Chu Huizong. However, Chu Huizong was afraid when he saw Snow Angel and always felt that Snow Angel would kill him to please Xu Xian.
In Chu Huizong's view, Snow Angel is dangerous. Not only can it not protect him, but it will bring disaster to him.
The lame Taoist also felt helpless about Chu Huizong's behavior. During the expedition to Liao, one more person would provide more strength and help, and it would be more convenient. The lame Taoist decided to let Snow Angel accompany the army in the Liao expedition.
After obtaining Tong Guan's consent, Lame Taoist arranged Snow Angel in Tong Guan's personal barracks. His main task was to protect Tong Guan's safety.
When conquering Fangla, Tong Guan also understood the lame Taoist's behavior, but he was afraid of the lame Taoist's strength and dared not speak out in anger.
Let the lame Taoist serve as a military advisor. He feels that his future is difficult and he may be betrayed by the lame Taoist at any time.
Although he didn't want the lame Taoist to be a military advisor, because it was arranged by Chu Huizong and because of his fear of the lame Taoist, Tong Guan had no choice but to knock out his front teeth and swallow blood, not daring to have any objections.
For his own safety, Tong Guan asked to see Zhuge Banshan before going on the expedition.
Zhuge Banshan was not surprised by Tong Guan's arrival.
Seeing Zhuge Banshan, Tong Guan bowed and cried:
"Tong is in dire straits and in dire straits. I beg Mr. Zuo Xiang to give me a life-saving tip. I will be grateful."
Zhuge Banshan said with a smile:
"The time has not come yet, the outcome will be known tomorrow, Marshal, don't worry."
Tong Guan saw Zhuge stunned halfway up the mountain. He became curious and asked:
"How will the situation change? Please let me know, Mr. Left Prime Minister."
Zhuge Banshan said:
"The secret must not be revealed!"
Tong Guan did not give up and asked again:
"If you want to know whether this trip will be good or bad, please give me some advice from Mr. Zuo Xiang."
Zhuge Banshan said:
"Good or bad luck, misfortune, all depends on the marshal's thoughts."
Tong Guan asked:
"What Zuo Xiang said is too mysterious. The general is a rough man and doesn't understand all the twists and turns. Please give me some guidance, Mr. Zuo Xiang."
Zhuge Banshan said:
"Strictly enforce military discipline and do not disturb the people along the way. If you have good intentions, you will receive God's help."
Although Tong Guan didn't understand very well, he knew that Zhuge Banshan wouldn't be able to tell if he continued to ask, but he already knew what to do.
