Chapter 172: Sweep all the way
"The current situation in the world of cultivation seems to be calm. In fact, it has already become a turbulent undercurrent, just like a volcano before it erupts. The longer it is suppressed, the more destructive it will be when it erupts." Yunlong paused and continued:
"The world today is dominated by the two paths of good and evil, and is divided into several forces due to differences in regions and sects. Among the demon sects, the central demon sect appears and disappears in the mist, and no one can figure out their details;
Needless to say, the Eastern Demon Sect was severely damaged in the battle of Kaifeng. The Later Jin Dynasty, which was supported by the closed-door and closed-door mountains, has also been annexed. Only part of its strength is still barely supported by the Liao Kingdom, but its strength has also shrunk greatly. It has been revealed from the outside. After entering the stage of world hegemony, he is probably still licking his wounds.
The Western Demonic Cult is still competing for territory and population with the major Western sects and the Potala Palace. The conflicts between the various parties are very frequent. Now they have no time to separate themselves, so they can be put aside for the time being;
The Southern Demonic Cult is better. Since there are hundreds of ethnic groups in the South and various customs and habits are different, they are very integrated. As a result, they get along well with the southern side sects who are also not favored by the righteous people. There is basically no conflict and they can be reasonably controlled. Chu State’s development strength over the past few decades is certainly not small;
Only the Northern Demon Sect dominates the north and controls a vast land of hundreds of thousands of miles. Under its banner are the disciples of the Hu nationality, mainly the Liao Kingdom. Among all the demon sects, Qian has the most obvious strength and momentum. Even our Song Dynasty has to temporarily Avoid its edge. But..." At this point, Yunlong couldn't help but smile and said:
"I have made some advance preparations to make them wary that they will not invade the south in a short time." He was naturally referring to Yunchang Yunqiu's non-aggression agreement. With the guarantee of the great elder of the Northern Demon Sect, he was naturally confident. Very full.
"After all, we are a member of the righteous path on the surface. In addition, the Tianding Emperor is sitting here, and we have annexed the Later Jin Dynasty controlled by the Eastern Demon Sect and lost many people. This has greatly offended the demonic forces. These demonic controlled The state is destined to be our enemy.
However, from a geographical point of view, except for the Liao Kingdom, these countries are separated from the Song Dynasty by several countries, so I do not advocate attacking them without sufficient 'preparations'. Fighting on two fronts is a taboo for military strategists. Yunlong shook his head as he narrated.
"No wonder Brother Dao used to bring those righteous sects to attend the founding ceremony of the Song Dynasty for this reason. Brother Dao probably meant to annex those countries that are easier to win first, and then attack the countries controlled by the devil. "Tai Yanren said excitedly as he smashed his left hand on the palm of his right hand.
"It should be like this. Those sects who claim to be righteous will naturally have to speak some truth on the surface. Brother Youlong set up a clever trick to carry out the big hat of 'the emperor is destined to be the emperor and the direction of heaven'. Those who don't want to end up 'acting against heaven' "Naturally, a sect with a bad reputation can only recognize it by pinching its nose. The so-called fighting formation is just unwillingness to fight for some benefits for oneself." Fairy Han'e said with the light of wisdom flashing in her pair of phoenix eyes.
"However, Brother Dao, there are many well-known sects behind these countries that have accumulated rich and profound support. Shushan Emei Sect's 'Liangyi Fenchen Formation', Nanhai Sect's 'Guanyi Wanxiang Formation', and even the newly emerged Daming Temple's 'Ten Thousand Buddhas Chaozong' 'The formation is not easy to mess with. In comparison, our Song Dynasty is actually a weak side. If we really attack them and fail to defeat them, we will be in an embarrassing situation." Fairy Han'e speaks outspokenly, but it doesn't matter. Scruples.
After hearing this, Yunlong burst out laughing and said, "Fellow Taoist, you don't have to worry that You Long is not a reckless person. Since he dares to set up this trap, you can be sure of it. They are strong and we are not weak! Moreover, these sects are limited to oaths and have secret ulterior motives." If we want to accomplish a big thing, we can't spare much strength to participate in the battle. The most we can do is defend the territory. We only need to start with the easy ones and then the hard ones, and defeat them one by one. Don't underestimate our strength!" Yunlong looked full of confidence and gave it to Er. No small encouragement.
While Tai Yanren and Fairy Han'e were excited, they couldn't help but think: "Looking at how confident Taoist Brother You Long is, he must still have some trump cards that have not yet been revealed. In this case, why should I be afraid? Just feel free to go for it!" thought of it! Here the two of them raised their hands to Yun Longyi and said: "Taiyan (Han'e) is willing to obey Brother Tao's instructions and work together for a great cause!"
"Hahahaha, now that you two are helping me, I will be more confident!" Yunlong couldn't help laughing when he saw the two expressed their opinions, happily helped them up, and then began to discuss new measures...
As Yun Long said, the world seems calm, but in fact, there are turbulent undercurrents that are just waiting for an opportunity to explode. The founding of the Song Dynasty, the birth of Emperor Tianding, and the Song Dynasty cultivators destroyed the "Wonderful Dharma and Lotus Buddha Formation" and annexed the Southern Tang Dynasty. These were the opportunities. These actions were like igniting a powder keg, instantly detonating the situation in the Middle-earth China.
In the first year of Jianlong (the reign of the Song Dynasty after Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne), the Song Dynasty sent troops to the Southern Tang Dynasty to defeat the "Miaofa Hualian Buddha Formation". The Southern Tang Dynasty's cultivation world surrendered its control and the Song Dynasty annexed the Southern Tang Dynasty.
The Song Dynasty, which had been recuperating for two years in the third year of Jianlong, had digested the newly added territory and greatly increased its military power. It pointed directly at Wu Yue, Yunlong led Taiyan people, Han'e fairy, and other three major forces, including Jian Wuchen, who had in-depth exchanges and became quite compatible. The masters of the Returning Void Stage led various casual cultivators and small sects who had joined the Song Dynasty to attack Wu Yue on a large scale.
Wu Yueming Temple, Wujimen, Putuo Temple, Qingxin Temple and other righteous cultivators jointly set up the "Ten Thousand Buddhas Chaozong" formation, which is extremely defensive and requires the participation of a large number of cultivators. Since the attack power of Buddhism is weak, they try to rely on the hugeness of this formation. Defense resists the opponent's attack and delays it.
However, Yunlong's trump card was finally revealed. Daming Temple secretly informed Yunlong about the layout of the formation, and Yunlong failed to work hard several times. He deliberately exposed the loopholes in the formation in secret places and successfully "assisted" without the other sects knowing. Yunlong destroyed the "Ten Thousand Buddhas Chaozong" Buddhist formation. The Wu and Yue sects had no choice but to admit defeat and give up control. The Song Dynasty once again annexed a piece of territory, and its strength greatly increased and shocked the world.
Seeing the ferocious power of the Song Dynasty, Nanping was a small and weak country, and felt that it could not resist the military power of the Song Dynasty. Nanping could not sit still. Behind it, the Jade Buddha Temple and other sects submitted a letter of surrender to the Song Dynasty and voluntarily surrendered. The Song Dynasty also unceremoniously annexed the entire territory of Nanping after giving some rewards. In this way, the territory of the Song Dynasty has been connected into one piece across the northeast, the southeast is only Hou Shu, and the seventy-two islands in the South China Sea are difficult to start because they have the support of top sects behind them; the territory of the Southern Han Dynasty and the Song Dynasty are separated by Hou Chu, which is beyond the reach of the whip. I can only give up.
However, after three years of recuperation and digestion of the newly added territory, the strength of the Song Dynasty has greatly increased, and the Song Dynasty has set its sights on another place, Hou Chu!
(Fight! Fight! Fight! Keep fighting. o(n_n)o~)
